Drufle (GM)		Anyway, after thoroughly trouncing the entirety of the mongrelmen dungeon, the party has captured the cultist leaders of the split-off faction.

Rochelle Gwerm		it was no issue
super easy

G'hesh Nhot		"smash"
"beer time?"

Drufle (GM)		And so, with Wenduag coming along, and Hosilla and... that other guy tied up, we reenter Neathholm.

G'hesh Nhot		beer

Aerlin		Not yet.

Rochelle Gwerm		first cultists, then beer

G'hesh Nhot		......

Aerlin		Sorry.

G'hesh Nhot		fine

Rochelle Gwerm		I wanna see what happens to them

Aerlin		We have to take them to Sull and explain what happened.
So let's do that.

G'hesh Nhot picks up some of the prisoners

Drufle (GM)		The party definitely makes it over the river so we don't have to worry about that again.

G'hesh Nhot		lets go

Rochelle Gwerm		we learned that bug lady has a Favored Enemy of Humans
which is only Red

Drufle (GM)		And a few thousand people aboveground.

Rochelle Gwerm		Rochelle will complain about the river regardless
shhhh we don't know that yet

Drufle (GM)		The party approaches Chief Sull's hut once again.

G'hesh Nhot		ghesh is till trying to learn how the boat didn't sink

Rochelle Gwerm		Levitate Scale
and rope

Aerlin		It's a finely crafted...canoe?
How odd.

Rochelle Gwerm		gasp

Aerlin		Right then, let's go inside.

G'hesh Nhot dumps prisoners down

G'hesh Nhot		here

Rochelle Gwerm		why are you doing that? I'm carrying them

Aerlin		"Here's some cult leaders for you."

G'hesh Nhot		i thought i had them

Rochelle Gwerm shoves the door open

Rochelle Gwerm		"We're baaaack!"

G'hesh Nhot		BEER
Chief Sull is very surprised and also quite confused.

Rochelle Gwerm		Rochelle has a much higher carrying capacity
"We brought some folks"

Chief Sull		"Oh, uh, um, what?"
Chief Sull was definitely not expecting prisoners.

Rochelle Gwerm		"Found some uh...'heinous monsters' as Red would say"
"And someone who wanted to talk to you"

Aerlin		"As it turns out, the cultists here took your offshoot tribe by force."

Rochelle Gwerm dumps the prisoners on the floor

Wenduag kinda looks in the room.

G'hesh Nhot gets sword ready

Chief Sull		"By... force? They left of their own accord."
Chief Sull looks pointedly at Wenduag.

Rochelle Gwerm		this is the part where Wenduag explains things

Aerlin		"In any case, I thought it best to avoid pointless violence and death."

Wenduag explains things.

G'hesh Nhot		lol

Rochelle Gwerm		excellent

Aerlin		"So you see, your interests align now."
"We need allies more than ever. Be pals, maybe."

Rochelle Gwerm		"How the heck did you talk so fast?"

Drufle (GM)		After a lot of silent nodding and frowning, Chief Sull stands from his... throne thing.

Chief Sull		"While I appreciate closure on the matter, Wenduag still caused Neathholm great pain and misfortune. While I agree that we must be allies in these trying times, she must find her own home now."

Wenduag looks rather sad but not particularly surprised at the decision.

G'hesh Nhot is disappointed that heads stay on boddies

Chief Sull		"As for the prisoners..."
Chief Sull turns towards the two cultists lying on the floor.

G'hesh Nhot ears prick up

Rochelle Gwerm		is the other one still asleep?

Drufle (GM)		What? No.

Rochelle Gwerm		okay good

Drufle (GM)		That spell lasts a few minutes.

Rochelle Gwerm		that'd be hilarious though

G'hesh Nhot kicks it to see

Aerlin		He's just quiet.

Rochelle Gwerm		"They had this note and everything"

Rochelle Gwerm hands Sull the note they found

Chief Sull		"We have no real use for prisoners, as we have nowhere to keep them, and no purpose for doing so."
Chief Sull takes the note and looks over it.

Rochelle Gwerm		"Do any of these names mean anything to ya?"

Chief Sull		"Not a thing, miss."

G'hesh Nhot		"want the people gone?"

Rochelle Gwerm		"Worth a shot..."

Chief Sull		"As of now, what happens to these two is none of my jurisdiction. Your group may decide on their fate yourselves."

G'hesh Nhot pulols out sword

G'hesh Nhot		pulls

Rochelle Gwerm counts down how long it takes for Nhot to kill them

Aerlin		If we're gonna execute them we should at least make a show of it.

Rochelle Gwerm		3 2 1 style

Aerlin		Motivate the troops.

Rochelle Gwerm		lets not kill them in Sull's house though

Aerlin		Aerlin wouldnt suggest that in character though.

Rochelle Gwerm		take it outside

Rochelle Gwerm picks up the prisoners again

G'hesh Nhot goes outside

Rochelle Gwerm		"Well, I know what the dragon wants to do"

Aerlin		She's accepted what's going to happen, but wants no part in it.
G'hesh Nhot:
G'hesh Nhot : Tail Slap (Razored)
Attack 9 vs AC
Damage 11
Type: S

Rochelle Gwerm		waaaait for me to carry them outside ya goof

Aerlin		Wow, tail slap execution.

Drufle (GM)		Also, you don't need to make a roll.

G'hesh Nhot		the screen keeps on mooving

Rochelle Gwerm brings the prisoners outside and towards the edge of town

Rochelle Gwerm		"We'll do this proper though"

Drufle (GM)		If they're tied up and helpless, all melee attacks automatically hit and deal maximum damage.

Aerlin		Aerlin's left to her temporary study.

G'hesh Nhot		i wanted my double sword with tail slap
head off and gone

Rochelle Gwerm		"Right, Nhot, stand firm"

Aerlin		Off to hang out with Vash I'm sure.

Rochelle Gwerm		"Lemme see if I remember how they do this back home"

G'hesh Nhot ready

Rochelle Gwerm		"Okay so, uhhh"

Rochelle Gwerm points to Hosilla

Rochelle Gwerm		"You have any last words?"

Drufle (GM)		(whoops she doesnt have a sheet)

Rochelle Gwerm		its okay jsut roll with it

Drufle (GM)		She'll just be silent.

Rochelle Gwerm		"..."

Drufle (GM)		Probably spits on your shoes.
Or something.

Rochelle Gwerm		I have no shoes

Drufle (GM)		Your feet, then.

Rochelle Gwerm pulls her down onto the ground

Rochelle Gwerm		"Make this quick, Nhot..."
"I'll see about the last one"

G'hesh Nhot two handedly swings the sword across the neck and then hits the head into the distance with her tail

Drufle (GM)		Oh good, Nhot's coup de grace is actually enough to one-shot Hosilla.
I was wondering whether that would be the case.

Rochelle Gwerm points to the last guy and asks the same thing of him

Rochelle Gwerm		"This is it so, make it count"

Drufle (GM)		"The dwarf will cut you all down, I swear it."

Rochelle Gwerm		"Really? No wishes for family and such?"

Rochelle Gwerm shrugs

Rochelle Gwerm		"Fine, petty revenge it is"

Rochelle Gwerm pulls him down to the ground

Rochelle Gwerm		"Nhot, go for it"

Drufle (GM)		Luckily this dude has far less health so Nhot can easily take him out.

G'hesh Nhot does the same as before, but this time with a full spin

Drufle (GM)		She was actually just barely capable of killing Hosilla.

Rochelle Gwerm sighs

Rochelle Gwerm		"Welp, that's that"
"Bad guys, dealt with"

G'hesh Nhot looks happy

Rochelle Gwerm		"Wanna see if they got some beer?"

G'hesh Nhot		BEER

Rochelle Gwerm		yep

Rochelle Gwerm walks off to the bar

G'hesh Nhot follows

Drufle (GM)		I don't think we'll make a full scene out of it this time, but we can definitely do another bar run.

Aerlin		I suppose that rounds off this day.

Rochelle Gwerm		that's about as far as I think the RP for us needs to go

Drufle (GM)		The bartender awaits, terrified but prepared.

Rochelle Gwerm		as much as I'd like to try our Con rolls again
y'know what, lets go

Aerlin		Are the NPCs coming with us in the morning?

G'hesh Nhot		my con is sutch that they will probably run out again anyway lol
Rochelle Gwerm:
Rochelle Gwerm : Fortitude
Save: 26

G'hesh Nhot		such
Rochelle Gwerm:
Rochelle Gwerm : Fortitude
Save: 17 Rochelle Gwerm : Fortitude
Save: 25 Rochelle Gwerm : Fortitude
Save: 9

Drufle (GM)		They come with you, yeah.

Rochelle Gwerm		and that's it
my luck needs improvement

G'hesh Nhot		you drunk?

Rochelle Gwerm		hell yeah

Aerlin		Was Anevia's leg healed?

Drufle (GM)		Rochelle goes down hard after a little while.
Nope.
It's been like, 4 days at most.
It hurts a lot less but it certainly isn't healed.
G'hesh Nhot:
G'hesh Nhot : Constitution
Check: 9

Rochelle Gwerm		oh

Drufle (GM)		Uh oh.

G'hesh Nhot		that barrel was strong

Rochelle Gwerm		you take way too big of a gulp to start with

Drufle (GM)		Nhot's blood was too thin from all that adrenaline.

Rochelle Gwerm		Rochelle made up for Nhot this time
so it evens out
what's our tab?

Drufle (GM)		The bartender shakes his head when you go to pay.

G'hesh Nhot is passed out like a cat on the floor

Drufle (GM)		The big man already paid your tab for months, he says.

Rochelle Gwerm		"For real? Thanksth man"
"Imma go lay down somewhere..."

Rochelle Gwerm picks up Nhot and carries her out

Drufle (GM)		So yeah, refresh any powers if you got them, and let's all take a trip to the Surface.

Rochelle Gwerm		"Better not forget...mah dragon"
"That'd be bad"

Aerlin		Can I possibly ask our NPC friends about the locations on the note?

Drufle (GM)		Oh, of course.
These are all relatively well-known locations, they can easily guide you to these places.

Aerlin		As a reminder, they're cultist safehouses, and we have the password.

Drufle (GM)		Yeah.
So, I'm gonna move maps again...

Aerlin		Either its free treasure or DEMONS.

Rochelle Gwerm		I can fight demons

Drufle (GM)		After a relatively short walk, the... 8 of you emerge out of a hole into the Kenabres sewers, and crawl out the first manhole you find.

G'hesh Nhot		i kill demons
Rochelle Gwerm:
Rochelle Gwerm : Perception
Check 15

Drufle (GM)		You emerge in a small residential district in the southern end of town.
G'hesh Nhot:
G'hesh Nhot : Perception
Check 14

Drufle (GM)		Now, this is a relatively sandboxy section.
There's, like, 7 places you can go to.

Aerlin		I can see that, we're on a town map here.

Drufle (GM)		Doesn't really matter to me which one you go to first.
With those per checks, I'll expand your vision a bit.

G'hesh Nhot		nearest?

Drufle (GM)		The nearest...

Aerlin		I say we go to the safehouses?

Rochelle Gwerm		"So uhh...which way is that mansion, Horgus?"

Aerlin		Oh yeah, his mansion.

Drufle (GM)		By far the closest is Vash's old Riftwarden HQ, the Blackwing.
Can you see pings in the darkness?

Aerlin		Yeah.

Rochelle Gwerm		yes

G'hesh Nhot		nope

Rochelle Gwerm		maybe just reveal that one spaaaace?

Aerlin		Shall we head there first, then?

Drufle (GM)		Alright, closest place?

Rochelle Gwerm		I mean is it visible to us?

G'hesh Nhot		sounds like a plan

Aerlin		The blind man can lead us there.

Rochelle Gwerm		how bad is the destruction
?

Drufle (GM)		It's... bad.

Rochelle Gwerm		"Woah..."

G'hesh Nhot		"not me this time"

Rochelle Gwerm		"Can't say I've ever seen anywhere this badly off"

Drufle (GM)		Looters fill the streets, bodies and gore are strewn in every direction, most buildings are either demolished, coated in blood, or boarded up.

G'hesh Nhot		armour

Rochelle Gwerm		I don't think we can buy stuff here

G'hesh Nhot		dead don't need

Drufle (GM)		Very much the wrong side of town for armor, you're currently closest to the Academic district.

Rochelle Gwerm		maybe we can find like books?

Aerlin		I'm gonna eat some books.
Get Smarterer.

Drufle (GM)		Alright then, off to the Blackwing!

Rochelle Gwerm		"So uhh...Vash?"

Drufle (GM)		Up here a bit.

Rochelle Gwerm		"How does...magic work?"

Aravashnial kinda scoffs.

Aravashnial		"How does magic work? Really?"

Aerlin		"That's a broad question, friend."

Aravashnial		"Sorry, that was just... a rather odd question."

Rochelle Gwerm		"Hey, I've never seen so much of it till I got into this group"
"Just...I never thought about it until now"
"I can do...a little I think"

Aravashnial		"Fair, fair, of course. Well, you see, many magic users channel it through learning and academics, like our samsaran friend here and I."

G'hesh Nhot		"i make things go"

Rochelle Gwerm		"So...reading and stuff?"

Aravashnial		"Others may receive magic from patrons, or gods, like the little boy and the pixie."

Red Redford glares at Vash, who definitely does not see the glare.

Rochelle Gwerm		sorry Red, but you sound smol

Aravashnial		"Many magic users, however, simply... have magic. It's in their soul, their blood, their words."

Rochelle Gwerm		"Huh"

Aravashnial		"It's very fascinating, you see."

Drufle (GM)		Also, wow.
Mopp got here before Golurk.

Daha aṭē slaps Navi awake

Rochelle Gwerm		"I've...never read so I guess I'd...fall under the last one?"

G'hesh Nhot		"how books work"

Aerlin		"We should certainly test and see if you have any aptitude."

Navaya		"whuzzuh..."

Rochelle Gwerm		"Do giants have magic naturally?"

Aravashnial		"Well, my draconic friend, there will be plenty of books I can show you!"

Rochelle Gwerm		should I cast resistence on myself?

Navaya		^reads what druf said
oh

G'hesh Nhot		"which hits hardest"

Aravashnial		"Giants? Hm, it depends, you see, most do not. Some, like Moon and Sun giants do, but the majority of giants have little innate magic."

Rochelle Gwerm		"or do humans have magic naturally?"
"What about Stone Giants?"

Aravashnial		"Oh, many humans have natural magic, of course!"

G'hesh Nhot		"book better then my sword?"

Aravashnial		"Stone... I have read little on the mundane giants, but I do not believe they have magic."

Rochelle Gwerm		"Ah so...I guess I got something from my mother than"

Aravashnial		"Ah, of course books are better than swords! The power you can wrest from knowledge and magi is incredible."

Navaya		"Depends on if you wanna bludgeon or cut, G'hesh"

Rochelle Gwerm		"Because I can...make myself resistant?"

Aravashnial		"Also, paper cuts are a terrible thing."

Navaya		"A bumper-fun grimoire can do some damage"

G'hesh Nhot		"paper cuts?"

Rochelle Gwerm		"Maybe I should try a book..."

G'hesh Nhot		me try

Aerlin		"Really? I'd love to see that in action, Rochelle."

Rochelle Gwerm		what are paper cuts?
Rochelle does not know
"Wait, paper can hurt you?"

Drufle (GM)		Of course it does, paper beats rock.
Everyone knows that.

Rochelle Gwerm		shiiiit

Navaya		banned

G'hesh Nhot		lol

Rochelle Gwerm		"Uhhh...hang on"

Aerlin		feared Paper Giant

Rochelle Gwerm casts Resistance on herself

Aravashnial		"Well, those of us with... more permeable skin can, of course."

Aerlin		I cast Detect Magic..

Rochelle Gwerm		"Like...that?"

Drufle (GM)		This may surprise you, but the magical spell is magic.

G'hesh Nhot starts swinging a bood around like a sword

Rochelle Gwerm		pffft

G'hesh Nhot		book

Aerlin		"You're right, Rochelle. That was a magical ability."

G'hesh Nhot		"weight is bad"

Rochelle Gwerm		"Oh sweet"

Aerlin		"It looks a lot like my Resistance spell, in fact."

Navaya		"it requires years of training to wield a book in combat, G'hesh"
"you should take one with you if you're interested!"

G'hesh Nhot		"bigger book"

Rochelle Gwerm		"So uh...how do I do more magic?"

G'hesh Nhot		metal book

Aerlin		"This is very interesting. Examine your ability, and perhaps you can develop it into something bigger."

Drufle (GM)		Metal book...

Navaya		"Humptulip's "Howe To Kille Insects" should be sufficient!"

Aerlin		"And practice makes perfect."

Rochelle Gwerm		"I kinda feel like this when I get...really mad?"

Navaya points out doorstopper that's bigger than she is

Aravashnial is mostly quiet now, curious about what's going on.

Rochelle Gwerm		"Is that a good place to start?"
G'hesh Nhot:
G'hesh Nhot : Strength
Check: 8 nothing breaks

Rochelle Gwerm		I guess that's all Rochelle wanted to ask

Aerlin		"You got very angry when we fought those demons."

Rochelle Gwerm		"Uhh, yeah"

Navaya		and there he is

Rochelle Gwerm		"I can kinda control it?"
"If I wanna really hurt something, I can just...get stronger"

Rochelle Gwerm flexes

Aerlin		"I'm sure we'll meet more, as well. A good opportunity for practice."
G'hesh Nhot:
G'hesh Nhot : Intelligence
Check: 18

Navaya		AAAGH

G'hesh Nhot		fuck

Rochelle Gwerm		"Yeah I would definitely love to punch some more of those guys"

G'hesh Nhot		ghesh found a book she recognises

Navaya		you did me a frighten there

Rochelle Gwerm		"I bet people will pay real well for demon smashing"

Aerlin		If there are books around, I'd like to roll perception...

Drufle (GM)		I mean, we're just arriving at the Blackwing.

Aerlin		19+6..

Drufle (GM)		Which is good, because Golurk has just arrived.

Rochelle Gwerm		Hey Golurk, Vash called you a small child

Aerlin		I'm looking for a particular book, but all of these are ruined anyway...

Rochelle Gwerm		are you gonna take that?

G'hesh Nhot		i got an 18 on intelegance!!!!!!! what book did i recognise

Drufle (GM)		As you approach where Vash said the building would be, it... doesn't look good.
The building is smashed, largely burnt; only the facade and a small portion of the main room seems to be left.

Rochelle Gwerm		Nhot found a cookbook detailing various foreign cuisines
probably

Golurk		oh theres the map

Aravashnial		"Well, the Blackwing should be just ahead; how does it look?"

Rochelle Gwerm		"Uhhh"

Red Redford		cough cough

G'hesh Nhot		i was hoping for fighting or beer, but sure food is friend

Rochelle Gwerm		"On a scale of bad to really bad? About as bad as it could be"

Aerlin		"It is basically destroyed."

Navaya		"looks like a giant sat on it, dude"

Rochelle Gwerm		"Hey!"

Aravashnial starts tearing up and drops to his knees.

Rochelle Gwerm		"Hey hey hey its okay"

Aravashnial		"No... it cannot be..."

Navaya		"I didn't say you, did I? like, a hill giant or something"

Aerlin		Think I'll Detect Magic on this place.

Navaya		"one of the dumb ones"

Drufle (GM)		You guys also notice something really weird.

Rochelle Gwerm		"I mean, it can be rebuilt right?"
G'hesh Nhot:
G'hesh Nhot : Perception
Check 3

Drufle (GM)		Which is that all the buildings around the Blackwing are completely fine.

G'hesh Nhot		nope

Navaya		"yeah this place got targeted"

Red Redford		"It's like a tornado went through here."

Aravashnial		"We... we must look for survivors, I cannot be the only one left..."

Rochelle Gwerm		"Oh...oh..."
well shit Rochelle feels bad now

G'hesh Nhot is perplexed by a shiny thing on the floor

Aerlin		Let's go inside and look.

Navaya		(is this a library)

Drufle (GM)		It is.

Navaya		ok good

Drufle (GM)		From inside, you hear a voice.

Rochelle Gwerm		uh oh

G'hesh Nhot		.........

Drufle (GM)		"Stack the damn books better, you fools!"

Rochelle Gwerm		on a scale of 1 to 10, how badly do I need to bust this door in?

G'hesh Nhot busts the door in

Rochelle Gwerm		"Vash? Do you recognize that voice?"

Drufle (GM)		Alright, make a STR check.
And no, he does not have any idea who it is.
Just to save me on character-swapping.

Rochelle Gwerm		"Right. Got it"
G'hesh Nhot:
G'hesh Nhot : Strength
Check: 7 Rochelle Gwerm:
Rochelle Gwerm : Strength

Drufle (GM)		The two of you fumble into the door, which crumbles into ashes.

Aerlin		I rolled 20.

Drufle (GM)		The three of you, then.

Rochelle Gwerm		oh
"What the heck?"
"Hey!"

G'hesh Nhot		with the door frame probably

Navaya		oh no
hostages

G'hesh Nhot		"FIGHT"

Drufle (GM)		Inside, a crazed-looking knight is leading three tieflings in a rather horrible scene.
Four librarians are huddled, crying, while a fifth is forced to stack books around them.

G'hesh Nhot		can i charge him

Navaya		"ohhhhhhh"
we haven't even rolled init yet

Drufle (GM)		I mean, you kicked the door down.
You definitely do not get a surprise round.

Rochelle Gwerm		CHARGE
oh

I wait

Drufle (GM)		Wait.
I don't think this is the right song.

Rochelle Gwerm		hmmm

Drufle (GM)		Multiple?

Red Redford		I touch the ground and a magic circle glows and physically expands under their feet

Rochelle Gwerm		Release the Eagle Missiles

Red Redford		rolling 1d3( 1 ) = 1

Navaya		CAWW

Red Redford		aw

Drufle (GM)		Aww.
Well, one celestial eagle it is.

Rochelle Gwerm		eagle springs forth into action

Drufle (GM)		Take a swing.

Red Redford		"Wait that's a lot less than I was expecting."

Rochelle Gwerm		"Looks about the same as usual to me"

Red Redford		rolling 1d4+3( 4 )+3 = 7
rolling 1d4+3 ( 2 )+3 = 5
woops
meant to roll 20
rolling 1d20+3 ( 19 )+3 = 22
rolling 1d4+3 ( 1 )+3 = 4

Drufle (GM)		Hit, yeah.

Red Redford		what

Rochelle Gwerm		strong eagle

Red Redford		subtract 1 from that

Drufle (GM)		From the damage?

Rochelle Gwerm		the damage?

Red Redford		rolling 1d20+3( 9 )+3 = 12
yeah

Drufle (GM)		Miss.

Red Redford		rolling 1d20+3( 18 )+3 = 21

Rochelle Gwerm		I have resistance up still I think
at least I hope I do

Drufle (GM)		You get three attacks?

Red Redford		yeah

Rochelle Gwerm		beak and talons?

Drufle (GM)		Oh, right.
Hit.

Rochelle Gwerm		nom nom nom

Red Redford		rolling 1d4+2( 3 )+2 = 5

Rochelle Gwerm		good stuff

Drufle (GM)		Righto, is that all?

Rochelle Gwerm		do I rage now or later?

Red Redford		"Rake them real good!"

Rochelle Gwerm		I think I have...8 rounds of it?

Aerlin		The ones in the back need helping.
Those two being so close makes me uneasy.

Drufle (GM)		Alright, the knight dude is next.

Rochelle Gwerm		I can make it to the back
also I need a way to get more Rage rounds

Aerlin		Left side or right?

Rochelle Gwerm		I just realized is 4 + Con and doesn't scale

Drufle (GM)		He quickly looks around the room and, seeing Red's holy symbol, smiles wide.

Rochelle Gwerm		Right side

Aerlin		Creepy.

Drufle (GM)		"Ah, a worshipper of Good, is it? Well then, let's have a good battle!"

Rochelle Gwerm		that means he's going to cheat like hell

Drufle (GM)		He points at Red, yells out a battle cry, and charges Red.

G'hesh Nhot		"good battle"

Rochelle Gwerm		welp

Red Redford		aoo!!

G'hesh Nhot is happy

Rochelle Gwerm		oh yeah

Drufle (GM)		Yeah, give the eagle a swing.

Rochelle Gwerm		eagle
caw caw

Red Redford		rolling 1d20+3( 6 )+3 = 9

Drufle (GM)		Miss.

Rochelle Gwerm		oh

Drufle (GM)		CHAAAAARGE

Rochelle Gwerm		right so
the dance-off is over, I'm going to rage on my turn

Drufle (GM)		(what's the bonus for charging I can't remember)

Rochelle Gwerm		I have no idea I'm used to SotDL

Navaya		2 banes

Rochelle Gwerm		yes that

Drufle (GM)		:P
I'm just going to say it's +1 to hit.

Rochelle Gwerm		I imagine its something like +2 or +1
something small

Drufle (GM)		rolling d20+12( 10 )+12 = 22

G'hesh Nhot		is it the knocked prone upon successful attack or is that d&D

Rochelle Gwerm		oh
boss man

Drufle (GM)		Dnd.
rolling d8+9 ( 7 )+9 = 16
CRUNCH

Rochelle Gwerm		def boss man

Navaya		OW

G'hesh Nhot		let me smash

Drufle (GM)		Aaaaand Aerlin's turn!

Red Redford		ow

Aerlin		Well, that changes things...

Drufle (GM)		That was a heavy mace, by the way.
Big ol' blunt thing.

Red Redford		i have 6 hp left
"AAAAAAAA"

Drufle (GM)		I used a cavalier's challenge, by the way.
+2 to hit and +4 to damage against his target.

Navaya		cEVILier

Rochelle Gwerm		:P

Drufle (GM)		The furious concentration gives him -2 to AC against attacks not coming from his target, though.

G'hesh Nhot		excellent

Rochelle Gwerm		ohhhh

Navaya		gut him like a fish, Nhot

G'hesh Nhot		i may grip my sword with two hands

Drufle (GM)		So Red might be thoroughly screwed, if you guys don't murder the hell out of him.

Red Redford		"You get a +2 bonus on the attack roll and take a –2 penalty to your AC until the start of your next turn."

Drufle (GM)		Ah, yeah.

Rochelle Gwerm		"Oh shit, he dropped his AC?"

Drufle (GM)		I always forget charging in this game also has the AC penalty.
Well he hit even harder, then.

Navaya		"how do you know what AC is?"

Drufle (GM)		Aerlin, how's it going?

Rochelle Gwerm		"I read about it!"

Aerlin		Should I help you guys out, then?

Drufle (GM)		The more you knooooooow~

Aerlin		I was going to attack the back dudes.

G'hesh Nhot		heal red

Rochelle Gwerm		primary focus is murder this guy
I can't get to the back with him there

G'hesh Nhot		we are all in the door

Aerlin		Hmm...
How about a joke, then?

Rochelle Gwerm		oh noooo

Red Redford		oh noooo

G'hesh Nhot		??????

Drufle (GM)		Oh dear.

Rochelle Gwerm		Oh right, Sam wasn't there when Streak was picking his spells
because she's not on telegram

Aerlin		"What do you call a bear with no teeth?"
Aerlin : Hideous Laughter

Navaya		I sincerely hope this works

Drufle (GM)		Lucky for you guys, the tieflings have terrible will saves.

Aerlin		"A gummy bear!"

Horanoven A.		uhhh

Drufle (GM)		The DC is what, 19?

G'hesh Nhot		lol

Horanoven A.		yeah I guess

Aerlin		Oh, he doesn't get a save yet.
He falls prone in laughter.
He can save next turn, as a full round action.

Horanoven A.		who'd you target?

Drufle (GM)		That, uh, is not how spells work, my dude.
He gets a save to begin with, there under Saving Throws.

Aerlin		Maybe i read it wrong.

Drufle (GM)		Will save Negates.

Aerlin		DC is 19

Horanoven A.		he tries the first time, if he fails he needs to keep trying

Drufle (GM)		rolling d20+4( 6 )+4 = 10

Horanoven A.		or else it'll NEVER END

Red Redford		yuss

Drufle (GM)		"A... gummy. bear? PFFFHAHAHAHAHAA"

Horanoven A.		"..."

G'hesh Nhot		does that make him even squishier?

Rochelle Gwerm		"Huh, okay"

Aerlin		Gonna move over...here.

Rochelle Gwerm		"It wasn't...that funny..."

Drufle (GM)		It doesn't, actually.
It just completely prevents him from taking actions.
Rochelle Gwerm:
Rochelle Gwerm : Spellcraft
Check 23
Rochelle is trying to understand magic

G'hesh Nhot		that's still plays though

Rochelle Gwerm		does this help?

G'hesh Nhot		i can drop my ac and not worry

Aerlin		Do gummy bears exist in this universe.

Drufle (GM)		Alright, the tieflings are so very confused right now.

Rochelle Gwerm		so the leader is laughing?

Drufle (GM)		They do now, Aerlin.
He is literally rofl.

Rochelle Gwerm		nice

G'hesh Nhot is still trying to figure out what is funny

Drufle (GM)		On the ground, convulsing with laughter.

Rochelle Gwerm shrugs

Drufle (GM)		After Aerlin is Rochelle!

Aerlin		"At least someone understands my humour."

Rochelle Gwerm		"Well, makes my life easier"

Rochelle Gwerm enables her BLOODRAGE, forming the third glowing eye of red

Rochelle Gwerm		"HRRRAAAAAAAA"

Drufle (GM)		It's great, if the enemy is of a different subtype, they get a +4 to their save.
Because the humor doesn't work as well.

Aerlin		I gotta brb.
Rochelle Gwerm:
Rochelle Gwerm : Father's Greatclub
Attack 28 vs AC
Damage 18

Weapon Notes		A large greatclub made of stone.

Rochelle Gwerm slams her Greatclub directly down onto the laughing man

Drufle (GM)		Big ol' hit.

Rochelle Gwerm		rolling 1d66( 3 ) = 3

Drufle (GM)		...

Navaya		how did you

Rochelle Gwerm		well that's in range

Drufle (GM)		Wow, your luck really sucks.

G'hesh Nhot		lol

Rochelle Gwerm		+3 acid damage
I hit the 6 key too hard

Drufle (GM)		Lucky for you he is not actually a demon.
And so actually takes that damage.
Next is... Navaya.

Rochelle Gwerm		21 whole damage

Navaya quits reading her manual

Navaya		ok so I'm outside
I can't see in?

Rochelle Gwerm		you're tiny just fly above us

Drufle (GM)		You can see most things in the doorway, since it totally collapsed.

Navaya		what about the back?

Drufle (GM)		You can see Red, Nhot, Rochelle, and the knight.

Navaya		ok
so I'll go for him then

Drufle (GM)		And the eagle.

G'hesh Nhot		is the eagle a target?

Drufle (GM)		Nope.

Rochelle Gwerm		eagle is friend

Drufle (GM)		He's a nice eagle.

G'hesh Nhot		oh

Drufle (GM)		Look at how glowey he is.

Rochelle Gwerm		the glowiest

G'hesh Nhot		i rolled a 3 for per

Drufle (GM)		Man, some of these orchestral swells sound an awful lot like Uncharted 4.

Navaya		since I'm tiny, I can be in other peoples squares, right?

Drufle (GM)		Yep.
Quite easily.

G'hesh Nhot		i work 1 target at a time

Navaya		ok so I'm going to fly over red
and use my potion of cure moderate wounds on him

Red Redford		yeah just dump it all over my face

Drufle (GM)		Righto, that would normally incur an aoo but Mr. Shiny Pants is too busy laughing.

Navaya		thought so

Red Redford		glug glug

Navaya		"hang on red, I gotcha!"

Drufle (GM)		That's, uh, 2d8+3.

G'hesh Nhot		(splash)

Navaya		do I roll that or him

Drufle (GM)		Him.
Traditionally.

Red Redford		rolling 2d8+3( 6 + 2 )+3 = 11

Drufle (GM)		Not bad.

Navaya		acceptable

G'hesh Nhot		nice

Rochelle Gwerm		not quite out of death range

Drufle (GM)		That's most of the damage gone.

Red Redford		"Thanks for the save."

Drufle (GM)		So next is the tieflings!

G'hesh Nhot		me?

Navaya		"anytime, guy!"

Rochelle Gwerm		"AHAHAHAHAHAAA!"

Drufle (GM)		They, uh.

Rochelle Gwerm		are they scared?

Drufle (GM)		The front one goes to stab an eagle.

G'hesh Nhot wanna smash

G'hesh Nhot		i thought i scared them bad

Drufle (GM)		rolling d20+3( 12 )+3 = 15
I think that hits an eagle.

Navaya		yeah you both did real good with those intimdates
so they
won'y go for you
random eagles are fair game

Drufle (GM)		Well, those were just rp intimidates, they have no real mechanical effect.
Gotta use an action if you want your intimidates to actually do anything.

Navaya		oh so THAT's what you meant

G'hesh Nhot		grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Drufle (GM)		rolling d6+1( 1 )+1 = 2
Poke.

G'hesh Nhot mad

Rochelle Gwerm		wow this knight really is the only threat here

Red Redford		7-2=5

Aerlin		How To Flank Birds

Drufle (GM)		Other tiefling!
rolling d20+5 ( 13 )+5 = 18

Red Redford		14 ac

Drufle (GM)		rolling 2d6+1( 6 + 3 )+1 = 10
Bigger poke.

Red Redford		"CAW"

Rochelle Gwerm		alas, we hardly knew ye, bird

Red Redford		that was the bird not me

Drufle (GM)		The last tiefling is just gonna take a shot at Aerlin.

G'hesh Nhot shimmies shield up her arm

Navaya		red screams in camaraderie

Drufle (GM)		rolling d20+5( 12 )+5 = 17
rolling d8+1 ( 1 )+1 = 2

Aerlin		Mhmm.

G'hesh Nhot then taker her sword in both fists

Drufle (GM)		Poke.

Rochelle Gwerm		Aerlin needs to stop getting shot

Aerlin		They better start making it count.

Drufle (GM)		And now it's finally Nhot's turn.

Red Redford		one of these days the bad guys will have a gun

Drufle (GM)		The random tiefling pulls out his gravity grenade launcher!

Navaya		one of them's an immigrant from alkenstar

Horanoven A.		If you do that I'm bringing out the Nova Cannon

Aerlin		Fascinating device, may I study it, new friend?

Horanoven A.		I will Invade the game

Navaya		Noven Cannon, you mean

Drufle (GM)		hrararar

Horanoven A.		shush

Drufle (GM)		I think Nhot is laggily preparing a massive smash on the knight.

Navaya		most liely

Red Redford		"You can do it Nhot! I believe in youuuu cough cough*"

Rochelle Gwerm		Rochelle will have 7 rounds left of rage after Nhot goes

Drufle (GM)		Red is bleeding out of most of his torso.

Rochelle Gwerm		I think it was more of a bone-breaking wound than a goreing one

Navaya		not any more

Navaya		in one of the tieflings's chest cavities

Rochelle Gwerm glares at the remaining Tieflings with her three eyes

Red Redford		I summon...

Navaya		use your bow jeez

Aerlin		Inner strength?

Drufle (GM)		Only summons.
Nothing else.

Rochelle Gwerm		you have a magic bow dude

Red Redford		more eagles

Drufle (GM)		pffft
MORE EAGLES

Rochelle Gwerm		give the bow to the eagles if you're not using it

Red Redford		rolling 1d3( 1 ) = 1

Navaya		if it ain't broke..

Drufle (GM)		MORE EAGLE

Red Redford		nooo!

Aerlin		Radiance, Bow of Light and Good, has no clear applications here.

Drufle (GM)		Where to, my friend.

Rochelle Gwerm		you require additional eagles

Navaya		harry the archer

Drufle (GM)		Take a swing, my bird.

Red Redford		rolling 1d20+3( 20 )+3 = 23
yes

Drufle (GM)		Oh god.

Rochelle Gwerm		WUUUUUT

Navaya		well

Rochelle Gwerm		the only non-Nhot crit...was a bird

Red Redford		i forgot how crits work

Drufle (GM)		Ok, uh, roll damage.

Navaya		it wants revenge

Drufle (GM)		I have a crit gen.

Rochelle Gwerm		roll confirm

Drufle (GM)		Ah right, confirms.

Red Redford		rolling 1d20+3( 18 )+3 = 21

Drufle (GM)		Gotta roll again.

Rochelle Gwerm		yeah that confirms

Drufle (GM)		Yeah, there you go.
Now roll damage.

Red Redford		4 5

Rochelle Gwerm		???

rolling d6 ( 4 ) = 4

Rochelle Gwerm		new alcoholic beverage

Drufle (GM)		2 Con damage and 4 bleed damage.

Rochelle Gwerm		wow

Drufle (GM)		The tiefling is utterly disemboweled.

Navaya		the eagle gouges out both of his eyes
eats his liver

Red Redford		"Caw. Caw. Motherflanker."

Drufle (GM)		pfffhahaha
flanker.....
Revenge Bird.

Aerlin		Woah! Swears...

Drufle (GM)		Anyway, Aerlin.

Navaya		"musta been the other one's mate"

Aerlin		"You call that a shot?"
Splintered Spear returns!

Rochelle Gwerm		nice

Aerlin		That's...19+5

Rochelle Gwerm		uh oh we lost sam

Aerlin		And 10 damage.

Red Redford		the good rolls keep comin

Navaya		she's refreshing

Rochelle Gwerm		ah

Navaya		lagged to death

Aerlin		"That's a shot."

Red Redford		i'm refreshing too
a refreshing experience

Drufle (GM)		10 damage too, then.
Spear just guts him out, plus the 1 bleed damage!

Samantha Rose H.		hi

Rochelle Gwerm		hello

G'hesh Nhot not hyappy now

Rochelle Gwerm		welcome back

Drufle (GM)		Rochelle's turn.

Rochelle Gwerm		you know what I want to do?
I wanna hurl that guy
can I do that?

Aerlin		That top one will surely bleed out, so waste no time on him.

Drufle (GM)		Hurling people is very difficult, and generally the answer is no.

Rochelle Gwerm		I want to throw him at the guy in the back

Drufle (GM)		There's an entire champion thing for that.

Rochelle Gwerm		I have +4 strength
24 total
so is that a no?

Red Redford		maybe if they were goblins

Drufle (GM)		You can toss him, but definitely not that far.
It'd be more, like, 5 feet.

Red Redford		soon: exponential goblins

Rochelle Gwerm		fiiiiine

Navaya		you are not HK

Rochelle Gwerm		I'll be boring and just smash him

Navaya		sorry!

Rochelle Gwerm		CHARGE
Rochelle Gwerm : Father's Greatclub
Attack 27 vs AC
Damage 14
Type: B

Weapon Notes		A large greatclub made of stone.

Drufle (GM)		Squish.

Rochelle Gwerm		rolling 1d6( 4 ) = 4
"HRAAAAAHHH!!!"

Drufle (GM)		No acid damage, but it doesn't really matter.

Red Redford		"CAW"

Rochelle Gwerm		I melt the FLOOR
with acid

Drufle (GM)		So, uh, Navaya's turn.
I think you guys have got this.

Navaya		"man, I'm never gonna get to use an AoE am I." Oh well!"

G'hesh Nhot		I'm back but I cannot see the map again
saves some lag

Rochelle Gwerm		the last guy is about 25 feet away from you
past some bookshelves

Navaya		30 feet and yeah

Drufle (GM)		Poor, poor bookshelves.

Navaya		hm

Drufle (GM)		Arguably within los.

Navaya		do they go up to the ceiling?

Aerlin		He's very low, remember.

Rochelle Gwerm		Navaya will probably finish this off

Drufle (GM)		The bookshelves? Not the central ones, no.

Navaya		you all got an attack in and I didn't!"

G'hesh Nhot		me

Navaya		alright so I can fly up

Drufle (GM)		Snowball him?

Navaya		and cast ray of frost

Drufle (GM)		Oh dear.
Alright, roll away.

Navaya		I can't actually reach him with snowball
still 25 feety
well
I could move I guess

Aerlin		Isn't your Close at 30 now?
Doesn't matter.

Navaya		snowball is 25 +5/2 levels
apparently
oh wait

Aerlin		That's Close
Its probably not worth using a spell slot.
Up to you, though.

Navaya		yeah

Aerlin		Snowballs are funny.

Navaya		rolling 1d3( 3 ) = 3
bzzt

Drufle (GM)		Are snowballs free damage?

Red Redford		"We're going to save you, five identical librarians!"

Navaya		no that's ray
of frost

Aerlin		Ray of Frost is a touch attack
Right?

Navaya		yes

Drufle (GM)		Still gotta roll for it, then.

G'hesh Nhot		am I going to have to throw bricks

Drufle (GM)		The only spell that gets you free effects is Magic Missile.

Drufle (GM)		Yeah, so roll a ranged touch attack.

Navaya		or do I actually have to remember a damn roll equation

Red Redford		thats dex

Red Redford		spells can crit right

Drufle (GM)		Yeah.

Navaya		still ray of frost so can we use that 3 from before

Drufle (GM)		He was gonna die anyway so I'll just let that one auto-confirm.

Aerlin		it's gotta be frost themed

Drufle (GM)		He becomes frozen solid, and falls over.

Rochelle Gwerm		he literally freezes solid

Aerlin		he becomes a snowman

Rochelle Gwerm		amazing

Navaya		"that's better"

Drufle (GM)		The crit generator says he gets petrified.

Rochelle Gwerm		I guess I can end rage?

G'hesh Nhot		me no smash?

Drufle (GM)		This is close enough.

Aerlin		You can smash.

Navaya		you can smash him if you like

Red Redford		no smasherino

Rochelle Gwerm		I used...2 rounds of rage?
do those get used up at the end of the round or at the end of my turn?

Drufle (GM)		The librarians are immediately all over you guys, crying tears of joy.

Rochelle Gwerm calms down

Aerlin		"You're safe now."

Rochelle Gwerm		"Well that went well"
"That was a terrible phrase, let me try again"

Rochelle Gwerm flexes

Rochelle Gwerm		"HELL YEAH"
"That's better"

G'hesh Nhot		me hash

Rochelle Gwerm slumps over

G'hesh Nhot		smash

Drufle (GM)		They see Vash, and are both shocked and relieved.

Rochelle Gwerm		I am fatigued

G'hesh Nhot		are these enemies

Aerlin		Please let Nhot smash

G'hesh Nhot		they are all over me

Rochelle Gwerm		No nhot, they're friends

Drufle (GM)		"Oh thank goodness, it's you! Please, stay here with us!"

Rochelle Gwerm begins poking around the books

Red Redford		"Have no fear! For we are here."

Aerlin		It cannot be safe here.

Red Redford		"We must evacuate at once."

Rochelle Gwerm		"This building is in shambles, there's no way you can stay here"

Red Redford		but first

Aravashnial		"To where, though?"

Rochelle Gwerm		"I sure aren't staying here"

Red Redford		can we do an investigation check

Rochelle Gwerm		"Leave the city maybe?"

G'hesh Nhot		BEER

Rochelle Gwerm		"I still need to get the grump back to his house"

Drufle (GM)		Yeah, everyone roll the requisite PER check.
Rochelle Gwerm:

Drufle (GM)		Alright, uh, that seems about right.

Navaya		it's stereotyped

Aerlin		"...Vash, you don't stock fiction here do you, by any chance?"

Rochelle Gwerm		at least I didn't trip

Drufle (GM)		On mr angry knight are two potions of CLW, some banded mail, a light steel shield, and a +1 heavy mace.

Aravashnial shakes his head.

Rochelle Gwerm		add it to the Treasure Bag

G'hesh Nhot		what is

Aerlin		I'll do it.

Aravashnial		"This is the foremost collection of demon hunting lore and research in the country."

Rochelle Gwerm		what weight is banded mail?
medium?

Aravashnial		Yeah.

Rochelle Gwerm		"Demons, eh?"

Drufle (GM)		Yeah.

G'hesh Nhot		where

Rochelle Gwerm Rochelle tries to find books with her terrible Perception Roll

Navaya and Daha have been magically forced apart

Drufle (GM)		Oh, wait.
Banded mail is actually heavy.

G'hesh Nhot looks around for demons

G'hesh Nhot		ooooh

Rochelle Gwerm		I wasn't going to take anything about light anyways

G'hesh Nhot		heavy armour

Navaya thanks the gods for intervening

Rochelle Gwerm		*above

Drufle (GM)		Aside from the dude's stuff is, uh.

Aerlin		"No, um, children's novels, then."

Drufle (GM)		A Shit Ton of stuff.

Aerlin		"Silly question, never mind me."

Drufle (GM)		Please keep track of all this, I'm about to say a lot of things.

Rochelle Gwerm		"The heck are these books written in?"

G'hesh Nhot		is the maile better then mine?

Drufle (GM)		Slightly, yes.

G'hesh Nhot		can I have?

Drufle (GM)		If you want, sure.

G'hesh Nhot		please

Rochelle Gwerm		was Nhot wearing medium armor before?

Drufle (GM)		Also, what I thought was a giant list of items was actually just a well-filled out spellbook.
She was, yeah.
She's gonna be awfully slow now.

Aerlin		Gimme!!

Rochelle Gwerm		20 feet now

G'hesh Nhot		I'm already slow

Rochelle Gwerm		put that spellbook in the Treasure Bag

G'hesh Nhot		the lag is killing me

Red Redford		roll a fort save to avoid getting killed

Rochelle Gwerm		I can't use the shield, unfortunately

Drufle (GM)		I put all the spells in telegram.

G'hesh Nhot		me?

Drufle (GM)		The spellbook itself is actually worth a ton of cash, and also there's a scroll of Dimensional Lock in the pages!

Rochelle Gwerm		more loot
gooooood

Navaya		give ghesh the banded mail for she cannot do so herseld

Aerlin		"I cannot wait to study this."

Navaya		*lf

G'hesh Nhot		can you update my ac please

Navaya		"you'll have to get in line, sis!"

Drufle (GM)		As you look through the rubble, you find a whole lot of what initially appear to be strips of dried flesh, but on closer notice actually appear to be dried worms, the size of a finger.

Rochelle Gwerm		I'm not touching that

Drufle (GM)		(and yes i'll update her armor to the mail)

Navaya		"eugh, what're these?"

Aerlin		"Ooh, a bonding exercise presents itself."

Drufle (GM)		The librarians speak up when you notice the worms.

Daha aṭē tries to eat one

Rochelle Gwerm		"Hey, uh...Aerlin was it? The heck is with these books"

Navaya		slaps it out of his mouth "no!!"

Rochelle Gwerm		"I can't understand half of what they're saying"

Drufle (GM)		"Oh, it was dreadful! A horrible monster, a man made of worms, used terrible magic and demons to smash the place!"

G'hesh Nhot		worm no food?

Aerlin		"Magical writing, spells given form."

Navaya		"not if they came from a man, Ghesh"

Red Redford		what check
arcana?
Rochelle Gwerm:
Rochelle Gwerm : Spellcraft
Check 14
Red Redford:
default Red Redford : Spellcraft
Check 17

Aerlin		18+11

Drufle (GM)		Uh huh.

Rochelle Gwerm		I might as well try
it is a class skill for me

Drufle (GM)		Is this to look at the worms?

G'hesh Nhot		but man is food

Aerlin		To know about a Man of Worms I guess

Rochelle Gwerm		I am

Navaya		"...suit yourself, G'hesh"

Rochelle Gwerm		looking at worms

Drufle (GM)		Aerlin is the only one that recognizes it.

Rochelle Gwerm		it is really weird

Drufle (GM)		There are rare tales of horrible evil wizards that, if they die near places full of vermin, turn into horrendous abominations called Worms That Walk.

Aerlin		"It's super gross."

Drufle (GM)		That's your best guess as to what destroyed the Blackwing.
Also, holy hell, Nhot has 21 AC.

Rochelle Gwerm		that is good

G'hesh Nhot		yay

Drufle (GM)		The librarians also mention that the head librarian, a man named Quednys Orlun, was at the Cathedral of Saint Clydwell.

Rochelle Gwerm		huzzah

G'hesh Nhot		big rolls to hit me now

Drufle (GM)		They'd be interested in going that direction, if you want to evacuate them somewhere.

Navaya		"did you see where the worm guy went after it left?"

Rochelle Gwerm		I think the ton of worms suggests that it died

Drufle (GM)		They were a little too traumatized to pay attention to that, sorry.

Aerlin		"Why were they having you stack books, by the way?"

Navaya		"pretty obviously going to burn everyone here"

Drufle (GM)		"To... to sacrifice us, I think. That crazed man wanted to join the demons' side."

Rochelle Gwerm gets frustrated with the books and shoves them back into the shelf, angrily and totally out of order

Aerlin		"Disgusting."

Navaya		"who was he to you? did he come with the worm guy?"

G'hesh Nhot		beer time?

Drufle (GM)		No, we... we let him in. He asked to come into the Blackwing, looking for shelter.
(in quotes)

Rochelle Gwerm		"See that was your first mistake"
"Letting a crazed stranger into your place"

Drufle (GM)		"The horrible worm monster arrived along with all the worst demons, right at the beginning of the disaster."

Aerlin		"Anything we should obtain here before leaving, Vash?"

Navaya		"they wouldn'a known, Roch. He was prolly a knight of the city."

Aravashnial		"There's... there's nothing left. We should go."

Navaya		"driven crazy by what happened to it/.."

Rochelle Gwerm		"I wouldn't of trusted im"

Aerlin		"We'll head to the cathedral, then."

Navaya		"you don't trust anyone."

Rochelle Gwerm		"For good reason"
"ahem lets keep moving"

G'hesh Nhot is ready

Drufle (GM)		Alright then...

Aerlin		Hey Drufle, Dimensional Lock is a level 8 spell

Drufle (GM)		Wouldn't surprise me, honestly.
They give you some ridiculous stuff sometimes.

Aerlin		thats a heck of a scroll

Navaya		we're probably going to have to use it next fight
do they ever do that?
put stuff in that you need to use later or Be Screwed?

Drufle (GM)		No.

Rochelle Gwerm		this all seems too non-linear to do that

Navaya		well that's alright then

Drufle (GM)		They sometimes put stuff in that would be Very Useful for future fights, but they're never required.
Alright, so, uh, slight issue.

Navaya		been meaning to ask, why is archer lady all trapped down in this rubbly bit?

G'hesh Nhot		I had tonnes of that stuff in d&d

Drufle (GM)		I'm just using her as the party icon.
Moving around the city.

Navaya		oh!

Drufle (GM)		Anevia.
So, here's the issue.
You guys are down there.
Here's the cathedral.

Rochelle Gwerm		I'm sorry I missed that
where?

Navaya		bink

G'hesh Nhot		i cannot see

Rochelle Gwerm		huh, bit of a treck

Aerlin		Quite far. considering our party size.

Rochelle Gwerm		it is Far, Nhot

Drufle (GM)		There's a number of things on the way, yeah.

Navaya		I can't see either for some reason

Drufle (GM)		It's all black.
Aside from a little swath of cleared stuff.
Yes?

Navaya		well let's take them as they come!
this _is_ an adventure
after all

Drufle (GM)		Well, actually, on the way is some other things anyway!

I try to look ahead a little

Drufle (GM)		So, let's try to take the shortest route, here...
G'hesh Nhot:
G'hesh Nhot : Perception
Check 4

Rochelle Gwerm		woah

G'hesh Nhot		1 higher yay

Rochelle Gwerm		is that a hill going down or up?
or is it just rubble?

Drufle (GM)		Hill?
That giant gray crag?

Rochelle Gwerm		whatever is here

Drufle (GM)		That's a chasm carved by the demons.

G'hesh Nhot		ooooooh

Rochelle Gwerm		oh that a hole
okay

G'hesh Nhot		FIGHT

Rochelle Gwerm		carved by demons
probably not any left down there

Drufle (GM)		The only demons left in the city are rather small ones.
We can fight a few on the way, if you'd like.

G'hesh Nhot		FIGHT
and Beer

Drufle (GM)		Horgus' manor is actually on the way to the cathedral, anyway.
So we can stop off and Get Paid.

Rochelle Gwerm		we need to get around this chasm first
yes lets get paid

Drufle (GM)		We can head west and around, instead.

Rochelle Gwerm		Rochelle wants to be DONE with this job

Drufle (GM)		Here, let me give you a bit more looking.
Actually, heck.
I'm just gonna reveal the map.

Rochelle Gwerm		uh oh

Navaya		cast aside the fog of war

G'hesh Nhot		not fair

Rochelle Gwerm		that's dangerous

Drufle (GM)		Nothing really secretive on here anyway.

Rochelle Gwerm		can we handle it?

G'hesh Nhot		yes

Rochelle Gwerm		I could not handle it
I have died

Drufle (GM)		So, by the way, to show you guys how far you walked underground.

Rochelle Gwerm		do we have a chance to rest?

Aerlin		That crater is large.

Rochelle Gwerm		oooooh

Navaya		how many of these craters are from korram's fight with terendelev?

Rochelle Gwerm		look at that

Drufle (GM)		This large hole nearish the middle is where you guys were.
Look at how far you walked.

Rochelle Gwerm		we've come a long way
and we're...going right back up
don't fall in guys

Drufle (GM)		That maaaaassive hole to the left is the exploded wardstone.

Aerlin		I'd have hatched some eggs if you got a signal underground.

Navaya		oof

Drufle (GM)		So, up here.
That's the cathedral.

Aerlin		Tower
Nope

Drufle (GM)		And Defender's Heart, which is gonna be your eventual safe zone.
We gotta make our way up there.

Navaya		ping it again/

Rochelle Gwerm		well, Mansion first I guess?

Navaya		?

Rochelle Gwerm		I need to stop moving the map around while you ping
it stops the teleport

Navaya		that's the cathedral yes
where's the safehous I meant

G'hesh Nhot		I'm just going to pretend i saw everything

Drufle (GM)		Oh, it's nearby.

Navaya		ok

Drufle (GM)		Sir Not Appearing On This Map

Navaya		poor blind sam

Rochelle Gwerm		that's why Nhot's perception rolls are so bad

Drufle (GM)		Oh, right.
There's actually no encounter at the Gwerm manor.

G'hesh Nhot		not funny

Rochelle Gwerm		I am sorry
it was low hanging fruit
where is the manor?
that thing?

Drufle (GM)		I just pinged it.

Rochelle Gwerm		aha

Drufle (GM)		The, uh, interestingly-shaped thing.

Rochelle Gwerm		well, lets make our way there
drop Horgus off

G'hesh Nhot		beer

Drufle (GM)		The only thing on the way is...
One of the templar safehouse locations, actually.

Rochelle Gwerm		is it death?
huh

Drufle (GM)		The Nyserian Manor.

Rochelle Gwerm		lets drop by there

Drufle (GM)		I believe you remember that name from the note??

Aerlin		Yes.

G'hesh Nhot		nope

Aerlin		Can you actually read

Drufle (GM)		It's right...

G'hesh Nhot		nope

Drufle (GM)		There.

Aerlin		thats okay, its overrated anyway

G'hesh Nhot		someone read it out but..........

Drufle (GM)		You may note that area is completely demolished.

Rochelle Gwerm		clearly we need to use the passphrase

G'hesh Nhot		the beer was good

Rochelle Gwerm		oh
nvm

Drufle (GM)		When you arrive at the supposed safehouse, the manor is gone.
Just, totally missing.

Rochelle Gwerm		"I'm glad we came here"

Navaya		sift through the rubble
Rochelle Gwerm:
Rochelle Gwerm : Perception
Check 14
Rochelle Gwerm : Strength
Check: 7

Navaya		just
hop over the chasm

Rochelle Gwerm		Rochelle does not feel like moving rocks
G'hesh Nhot:
G'hesh Nhot : Perception
Check 21

Drufle (GM)		Oh.

G'hesh Nhot		fuck

Rochelle Gwerm		Nhot on the other hand

Drufle (GM)		Found the 20!

Rochelle Gwerm		I have yet to crit anything
5% chance my ass

Drufle (GM)		Nhot just explodes into the pile of rubble and just blows it all away.

G'hesh Nhot		nice

Navaya		"musta found a bone"

Drufle (GM)		There is nothing of any remote value left here.
Not even corpses, which is a little strange.

G'hesh Nhot		"rubble"

Navaya		"oh my!"

Rochelle Gwerm		"I coulda told you that"

G'hesh Nhot likes rubble

Rochelle Gwerm		"Hey Horgus, how are ya holding up?"

Navaya		you know I was going to ask why the demons haven't moved in and taken over the place
but that's what devils do, isn't it?

Horgus Gwerm		"This is... strange, to be sure. I wonder if Kandro made it out alive?"

Rochelle Gwerm		"Eh...probably?"
"Just a feeling"

Aerlin		'Once Vorlesh is finished with the wardstone and Kenebres is no long of interest to us...'

Horgus Gwerm		"Well, let us hurry on now. I simply cannot wait to return to my manor."

Aerlin		They've left this place already. It's just scraps running around now.

Rochelle Gwerm moves on

Drufle (GM)		A wise deduction.

G'hesh Nhot follows

Drufle (GM)		When you arrive at the Gwerm manor, it's, uh... completely fine?
Rochelle Gwerm:
Rochelle Gwerm : Perception
Check 10

Aerlin		Good for us, I guess, it's not as dangerous as it could have been.

Rochelle Gwerm		"How the hell did this giant place not get hit?"

G'hesh Nhot		smash?

Drufle (GM)		Some of the topiary has been smashed, but other than that it seems alright.

G'hesh Nhot		i can hit

Horgus Gwerm		"Excellent! Very good, let us hurry on inside so I can be done with this nonsense."

Navaya		"I guess even demons have some taste" :P

Rochelle Gwerm		"Not even the mayor back home had a place this big"

Horgus Gwerm glares at Navaya.

Aerlin		"I wonder, do you plan to stay here, at a time like this?"

Navaya rolls her eyes skyward

Rochelle Gwerm is awstruck

Aerlin		"I do hope its safe."

G'hesh Nhot still prefers arenas

Horgus Gwerm		"Oh, I certainly can, I have a safe room!"
"I'll just have my... servants... wait, where is everyone?"

Navaya		the safe room is the one place in the manor that has a demon in it

Aerlin		Is it a giant safe.

G'hesh Nhot		you have an arena?

Drufle (GM)		The manor, despite being very pretty and nice and untouched, is totally empty.

Rochelle Gwerm		"Huh...its kinda...eerie"

Navaya		"well, uh, we're here now, which is what you wanted, soooooo"

Rochelle Gwerm		"You live alone?"
G'hesh Nhot:
G'hesh Nhot : Perception
Check 9

Horgus Gwerm		"Yes, but I do have servants... they must have ran away! The cowards!"

G'hesh Nhot		I'm getting better at this

Navaya		ever so slightly

Rochelle Gwerm		I mean you've already critted

G'hesh Nhot		"HERE SLAVES"

Drufle (GM)		Horgus waddles into the manor, and does a quick look around.

Navaya turns to stare at g'hesh

Drufle (GM)		Most of the fine china and stuff is gone, of course, which makes him furious.
He grudgingly walks far into the manor, and comes back later with, uh, a BAG of cash.

G'hesh Nhot		beer?

Rochelle Gwerm		"Well...it was a pleasure doing business with you"
I'm guessing this is all going into the Treasure Bag

Aerlin		What's the spell to cure alcoholism?

Horgus Gwerm		"Here, as promised, 200 platinums to each of you. It was, uh, a pleasure ménage á trois you all, but please let me have my peace for now."

Navaya		*whispering to Roch "I can't believe you could say that with a straight face"

Rochelle Gwerm hoists the bag into the backpack for safety

Aerlin		"Stay safe, Mr Gwerm."

Drufle (GM)		(That's a total of 10000 gp, in case you weren't aware.)

Rochelle Gwerm		whispers back to Navaya "I have...a few thoughts"

Navaya		10k for EACH OF US?

G'hesh Nhot		armour

Drufle (GM)		No.
Total.

Aerlin		2k each.

Drufle (GM)		2k each.

Rochelle Gwerm		"Hey uh...Horgus"

Navaya		awww ok

Rochelle Gwerm		"Do you know...a Ranae, maybe?"

Horgus Gwerm shrugs and shakes his head.

Horgus Gwerm		"Never heard of her, sorry."

Rochelle Gwerm		"Ah, right, sorry, silly question"

G'hesh Nhot		where next

Drufle (GM)		Next is...
Next would actually be Anevia's house.

Rochelle Gwerm		did we split the money already?

G'hesh Nhot		its in the bag

Rochelle Gwerm		the bag has not been updated yet

Aerlin		i say add 2000 to your sheets
a personal fund

G'hesh Nhot		..............

Drufle (GM)		So I think we'll stop off by her house, and then Defender's Heart, and that will probably be the end of the session.

Rochelle Gwerm		Druf will do that for you, Nhot
don't worry

G'hesh Nhot		yay

Rochelle Gwerm		lets get Anevia back hom
um

G'hesh Nhot		fight?

Rochelle Gwerm		great, a map
alright, lets go

Drufle (GM)		The Tirabade residence looks decently fine, but seems abandoned.

Anevia Tirablade		"We have to see if Irabeth is home, I've been worrying..."

Rochelle Gwerm		"Don't worry about payment, by the way. The grump pretty much payed for you anyways"

Anevia Tirablade smiles and nods.

Anevia Tirablade		"Appreciated, but let's quickly check in here."

Navaya		"yeah you were nice to have around!"

Anevia Tirablade		"And, uh, please don't kick my door in?"
Rochelle Gwerm:

"I promise nothing but okay"
G'hesh Nhot:
G'hesh Nhot : Perception
Check 14

Aerlin		I'm going to calmly open the door.

Navaya		roch didn't hear the "please"

Aerlin		Before anyone else can get to it.

Drufle (GM)		Good, Aerlin.
It's a small, quaint little house.

Rochelle Gwerm		"Nice place"

Navaya buzzes in

Anevia Tirablade		"Irabeth, are you home?!"

Navaya		roch, how bent double are you now?

Rochelle Gwerm		depends
hey Druf, how high's the ceiling?

Navaya		I guess anevia isn't a dwarf so

Drufle (GM)		Yeah, and Irabeth is pretty tall.
Ceiling's certainly high enough for Rochelle.

Navaya		aight

Rochelle Gwerm		"I like the room height"

Rochelle Gwerm opens this door

Anevia Tirablade		"Nice, isn't it? I dont think she's home... let me check the bedroom."

Rochelle Gwerm		"This one?"

Anevia Tirablade		"Yeah, there's a little compartment I need to check."

Rochelle Gwerm pokes her head in

Navaya		I like to think that rochelle's anime hair would be spikier if not for low ceilings

Anevia Tirablade		Suddenly!

Drufle (GM)		The wrong music!

Rochelle Gwerm		COMBAT TIME?

Drufle (GM)		In the wrong character!

So stupidly smushed.

Rochelle Gwerm slams down onto the beetle

Drufle (GM)		You get glowing red goo all over you.

Rochelle Gwerm		"AHAH!! I KNEW IT!!"
"I could smell it!"

Drufle (GM)		Aerlin, now it's your turn.

Navaya		"how could you predictfour awesome beetles?!"

Rochelle Gwerm		"Because I am AWESOME!"
"MORE AWESOME THAN BEETLES"

Aerlin		I'll cast Sleep on them.

Anevia Tirablade		"Please try not to smash up my house too much, right guys?"

Drufle (GM)		Oh geez, will saves.

Rochelle Gwerm looks at the dented floor

Drufle (GM)		On bugs.

Rochelle Gwerm		uhhh

Navaya		"why aren't you more concerned?!"

Rochelle Gwerm		"Oh...sorry"

Aerlin		It's DC 18

Drufle (GM)		Oh, they're immune to mind-affecting effects.
I think Sleep counts as that?

Navaya		vermin, natch

Rochelle Gwerm		you cannot sleep the bugs

Aerlin		Enchantment (compulsion) [mind-affecting]
yeah

Drufle (GM)		Yeah, then sorry.

Aerlin		Hmm, guess I'll move...
It's cramped.

Drufle (GM)		Little bit.
Small house, two people!

Navaya		one person now

Drufle (GM)		Not really used to having 5 people, plus two tiny people, plus bugs.

Aerlin		I'll stand in the doorway.

Navaya		one of these rooms will have their meal therein...

G'hesh Nhot		smash

Aerlin		Done!

Drufle (GM)		No action?

G'hesh Nhot		me?

Aerlin		Didn't I use it?

Navaya		yushlntpss

Drufle (GM)		You were going to use Sleep, but that doesnt' happen.

Navaya		good on you for keeping up with that!

Rochelle Gwerm		you moved?
I think that was it

Aerlin		Oh, okay then.

Navaya		she's saying she used it and it failed

Drufle (GM)		Unless you want to actually cast Sleep and then just have it not do anything.

Aerlin		I'll spear the nearest one then.

Rochelle Gwerm		other than possibly hit an ally

Navaya		awwwww

Drufle (GM)		If that's the case then sure, but I think Aerlin would be smart enough to know Sleep doesn't work on bugs.
Spear away.

Navaya		true

Aerlin		18 attack roll

Drufle (GM)		Super hit.

Aerlin		8 damage

Drufle (GM)		Dead.

Navaya		wow, weak bugs

Drufle (GM)		From the pantry, a half-orc!

Navaya		"how did you fit in a pantry?!"

Rochelle Gwerm		Irabeth?

Drufle (GM)		(these beetles are technically small enough that he can run right through them)

Navaya		teeny beets!

Rochelle Gwerm		"Hey uhh, Ara? you know this person?"

Drufle (GM)		Also Irabeth is actually a half-orc, but shockingly this is not her!

Navaya		sorry when you say pantry I assume a wall cupboard

Anevia Tirablade		"Kinda can't see anyone from back here!"

Rochelle Gwerm		Anevia

G'hesh Nhot		me?

Rochelle Gwerm		"Its a person, but tallish?"
"Really mad looking"

Navaya		"move out of her way ya lump!"

Rochelle Gwerm		"Hold up."

Drufle (GM)		Next is Red!

Rochelle Gwerm		"Hey Nhot, can you drag him back out?"

Drufle (GM)		I think Red is probably gonna skip on his turn, you guys seem to be doing fine.

Navaya		HEAL NHOT

G'hesh Nhot		"drag"/

Drufle (GM)		I don't think Red has healing...

Rochelle Gwerm		"Yes drag"

Navaya		augh

Rochelle Gwerm		"don't let him hide"

Rochelle Gwerm		"Force him to keep fighting"

Drufle (GM)		No healing magic, at least.

G'hesh Nhot		potion?

Drufle (GM)		Don't know what potions he has.

Rochelle Gwerm		I also don't want him to make this a 1v1 fight

Drufle (GM)		Nothing written on his equipment list.

Rochelle Gwerm		I want him to stay in range of both of us

Drufle (GM)		Let's say we can feed Nhot a CLW.

Drufle (GM)		Very angry beetle.
So angry.

Rochelle Gwerm		the beetle missed horribly

Drufle (GM)		Nhot's actual turn now.

Navaya		"I wanna hug him.."

Rochelle Gwerm		oh well
what is a drag action?
is that a thing?

Drufle (GM)		CMB.

G'hesh Nhot		my str checks aint the gratest

Rochelle Gwerm		we're martial classes, we should be good at this

G'hesh Nhot		they should be but.......

Rochelle Gwerm		CMB is a bit different

Drufle (GM)		Nhot's CMB is 7.

Navaya		you're a gladiator you should be good at wrasslin'

Rochelle Gwerm		yeah Rochelle has +8 to CMB

G'hesh Nhot		is that good?

Drufle (GM)		Roll a d20+7 to try and drag him back out.

Rochelle Gwerm		so you are just right there
really good

G'hesh Nhot		rolling 1d20+7( 8 )+7 = 15

Drufle (GM)		She has to move up first, obviously.

Navaya		nop

Drufle (GM)		But can then drag backwards.

Rochelle Gwerm		move up then drag back

G'hesh Nhot		i cannot move myself

Drufle (GM)		That is actually a hit, this dude is a sorcerer and thus his CMD is somewhat poor.

Navaya		ahh

Rochelle Gwerm		"Hello again"

Navaya		no wonder he's pants with his fake sword

G'hesh Nhot		"got ork"

Drufle (GM)		Next is Navaya.

Navaya		ok so
if I fire a ray, will it hit both of them or only the one in front
?

Drufle (GM)		The beetle is tiny, so you can target either.

Navaya		but not both at once?

Drufle (GM)		Not unless you have multiple rays.
Which I doubt you do.

Navaya		well that's dumb
sorry I'm in SRW mode with this

Drufle (GM)		Cones are the ones that hit multiple guys.

Navaya		a line MAP is a line MAP

G'hesh Nhot		super focused ray for small guys

Navaya		"alright then"

Navaya cocks arm like a shotgun

Drufle (GM)		Hit.

Navaya		yay!

Drufle (GM)		Touch ac, guys.
It's always terrible.

Rochelle Gwerm		unless you move like a ninja

Navaya		rolling 1d3( 3 ) = 3

Drufle (GM)		Reason #4145 why mages are amazing.

Navaya		and entangled in hoarfrost!

Drufle (GM)		He is now stuck to the ground.
Top of the order, Rochelle.

Rochelle Gwerm		well I was going to grapple him
but I guess that's pointless now

Navaya		"now you won't hav'ta drag him out again!"

Rochelle Gwerm		"Well that's handy"

Aerlin		So many combat manuveurs

Drufle (GM)		Entangled is freakily good.
Half speed, -2 to attack rolls, -4 to dex, concentration check on all spells.
Rochelle Gwerm:
Rochelle Gwerm : Father's Greatclub
Attack 26 vs AC
Damage 14
Type: B

Weapon Notes		A large greatclub made of stone.

Navaya		oof

Rochelle Gwerm		I'll just hit him

Drufle (GM)		Another good hunk of damage!
Aerlin!

Aerlin		Hmm.

Drufle (GM)		(he may be a sorcerer, but he is level 5 and a half-orc; quite a tough dude)

Navaya		yeah I was surprised that he would be the boss of this sesh

Drufle (GM)		Oh, not really.
I mean, kind of?

G'hesh Nhot		i may go all out here then

Aerlin		I'm gonna use Magic Missile on the bug.

Drufle (GM)		He's one of the stronger fights in the rando Kenabres encounters.

Rochelle Gwerm		we're probably not going to have another fight after this

Drufle (GM)		Roll damage, Aerlin.

Aerlin		i get to roll my d4!

Rochelle Gwerm		so he's kinda the boss?

Drufle (GM)		Kind of, yeah.

Navaya		oh so these are random looters?

Aerlin		It's 1+1
Ah well.

Drufle (GM)		Oh no, this is an actual important guy.
With plot.

Navaya		oh!

Rochelle Gwerm		damage was dealt

Drufle (GM)		Kind of?
Depends on what you consider plot.

Rochelle Gwerm		do we kill or not kill?

Navaya		his fake sword

Drufle (GM)		His turn!
Well, uh.

Navaya		he's killing us
so we kill him

Drufle (GM)		I sure am in an icy predicament.

Navaya		"suck on it, asshole!"

Rochelle Gwerm		pffft

Drufle (GM)		I guess I'll just try and stab Rochelle?

Rochelle Gwerm		"You seem to be a bit stuck"

Aerlin		You're supposed to make an ice pun.

Drufle (GM)		I can't do a lot of moving or casting.

Rochelle Gwerm		"put on ice, perhaps"

Drufle (GM)		rolling d20+4( 1 )+4 = 5

Rochelle Gwerm		pfffft

Drufle (GM)		Oh noooooo

Navaya		"I make ice attacks, I don't have to do puns!"

G'hesh Nhot		lol

Navaya		he's too chilly

Rochelle Gwerm		he is in serious trouble

G'hesh Nhot		was that a crit miss?

Navaya		yep

Rochelle Gwerm		yep
he done fucked up

Drufle (GM)		Apparently he accidentally pokes himself with his ranseur and takes a point of bleed damage.

G'hesh Nhot		lol

Rochelle Gwerm shakes her head

Navaya		cna't move his fingers

G'hesh Nhot		me?

Navaya		too collldlddddldldl

Drufle (GM)		Which, hilariously enough, causes him to collapse.

Navaya		bahahaha

Rochelle Gwerm		wow
he's down

Aerlin		drufle...the bug

Rochelle Gwerm		"What a way to go"

Drufle (GM)		I know the beetle is still here.

Navaya		forget the bug

Drufle (GM)		But, like, come on.

Navaya		he's our friend

G'hesh Nhot		dead?

Rochelle Gwerm		forget the bug it can do literally nothing

Drufle (GM)		He has 6 hp and 12 AC.

Rochelle Gwerm picks up the bug

Navaya		I'll MAKE HIM my friend
noo!!

G'hesh Nhot		i wanna kill him

Rochelle Gwerm		"Alright buddy, yer in some serious trouble"

Aerlin		"It may be diseased."

Drufle (GM)		It's a summoned creature so it's gonna disappear in a few rounds anyway.

Navaya		aw......

G'hesh Nhot		ME

Rochelle Gwerm crushes it in her hands

Navaya is heartbroken

G'hesh Nhot		ME

Rochelle Gwerm		"Sorry Nhot"

Drufle (GM)		I mean, yeah he's in trouble, he's unconscious and bleeding out.

Rochelle Gwerm		"I was just far to Done with this fight"

G'hesh Nhot		i wanna finish ork

Rochelle Gwerm		"Hey he's still alive"

Aerlin		"Did you find anything in here, Anevia?"

Navaya		blood

Rochelle Gwerm		"You uh...wanna interogate him?"

Navaya		it was blood

G'hesh Nhot		KILL

Navaya		"oh just let him do something, roch"

Rochelle Gwerm		"I think he's bleeding out"

Anevia Tirablade		"Yes, I did. Irabeth left me a note! How thoughtful of her. She said she left for Defender's Heart, the password is... (her handwriting is so bad), Silverstrong."

G'hesh Nhot		kill

Anevia Tirablade		"Oh, and here."

Rochelle Gwerm		"Well that's good to know"

G'hesh Nhot		he hurt me

Navaya		druf let ghesh make a coup de grace on the orc
she did get badly burned

Anevia Tirablade hands Aerlin two potions of CMW and three potions of invis.

Drufle (GM)		Yes, yes, go ahead and kill orc man.

Rochelle Gwerm holds the dieing half-orc up to Nhot

Rochelle Gwerm		"Go for it"
G'hesh Nhot:
G'hesh Nhot : Longsword (2H)
Longsword (2H) 27 vs AC
Damage 14
Tail Slap (Razored) 19 vs AC
Damage 11
Type: S

Weapon Notes		Tail slap damage is -2

Drufle (GM)		And now he is Actually Dead.

Rochelle Gwerm		"I wonder why he was here"
"Other than looting"

G'hesh Nhot		yay

Drufle (GM)		Aerlin, did you write down those potions?

Aerlin		I did.

Rochelle Gwerm		"Actually he was probably just looting"

Anevia Tirablade		"Oh wow, is that Vagorg?"

G'hesh Nhot		ive invented dragon football

Rochelle Gwerm		"Uhhh...you knew him?"

Navaya		".......whoops"

Anevia Tirablade		"Yeah, old rival of Irabeth's. She and him had some bad blood a few years back, she caught him doing something awful and turned him in."

G'hesh Nhot goes to find head

Navaya		"oh, so maybe he came back here for revenge"

Rochelle Gwerm		"He did a really bad job of it"
"Jumped out at the wrong people"

Anevia Tirablade		"Yeah, probably, revenge always seemed his thing."

G'hesh Nhot		he burn me

Anevia Tirablade		"Well, 'beth's at the old Heart, let's head that way."

Rochelle Gwerm		"My final destination then"
"Then I'll finally be done with this job"

Anevia Tirablade		"Yeah, and I'd love to actually get to sit down and relax somewhere nice for a while."

Rochelle Gwerm		time for a Long Walk

Drufle (GM)		And so with that, we're finally going to arrive at the Defender's Heart.

Rochelle Gwerm		that was quite the haul

Drufle (GM)		Luckily, we went to Anevia's place first, so you have the password.
So they're going to just let you in.

Rochelle Gwerm		no door busting then
very well

Navaya		did we get vagorg's fake sword

Drufle (GM)		Oh!

Rochelle Gwerm		I didn't want it

Drufle (GM)		Right, the loot.

Navaya		don't know why I'm asking
I can't use it

Drufle (GM)		How can I forget the loot.
He has, for some reason, two more potions of invis.

Rochelle Gwerm		they really want us invisible for something
HMMMM

Drufle (GM)		A 3rd level wand of magic missile with 11 charges.
and a Ranseur of the Gargoyle.

Rochelle Gwerm		so its magic

Drufle (GM)		Yes.

Rochelle Gwerm		is it a medium one-handed weapon?

Drufle (GM)		Ranseurs are two-handed.

Rochelle Gwerm		huh

Drufle (GM)		Last time I checked.

Rochelle Gwerm		well its still medium so give it Nhot

G'hesh Nhot		gve me what

Drufle (GM)		It's a +1 ranseur that gives you +4 to disarm, and 5 times per day you can harden your skin to get +2 to natural armor for a round.

Rochelle Gwerm		I already have a point of natural armor so it wouldn't be quite as useful for me

G'hesh Nhot		but i have skills in longsword

Drufle (GM)		Yeah, so I don't expect anyone to actually use it.
You can sell it.

Rochelle Gwerm		that is an option

G'hesh Nhot		ok

Drufle (GM)		It's worth about 4300 gp.

Rochelle Gwerm		or can it be Reforged?
nvm sell it

Drufle (GM)		Uhhhhhh

Navaya		I am _taking_ that wand

Drufle (GM)		I guess you could try and do something like that, if you want.

Rochelle Gwerm		unless it can be turned into a longsword

Drufle (GM)		Go ahead, Navaya.

G'hesh Nhot		sell then buy longsword. ghesh like big swords

Rochelle Gwerm		if we can turn it into a longsword than yeah, we can try that
magic weapons are magic afterall

Drufle (GM)		Alright, we're gonna stop here and do the actual plot in Defender's Heart next time.

Rochelle Gwerm		how the heck does reforging work?

Aerlin		thank goodness

Rochelle Gwerm		or how would it work

Aerlin		i dont imagine its a thing

Drufle (GM)		No idea.
It isn't really a thing.

G'hesh Nhot		should i start putting after sun on?

Rochelle Gwerm		it'd be a shame if it isn't

Aerlin		you cant even make a thing masterwork after making it

Drufle (GM)		So you guys can actually buy things here, if you want.

Rochelle Gwerm		eh, if we can't do anything with the ranseur then just sell it
put more money in the Treasure Bag

Drufle (GM)		Anything 100 gp or less is automatically for sale, and anything up to 2500 gp is available if you ask me about it.

Rochelle Gwerm		what do we want to by?

Aerlin		im gonna buy a bed
