Drufle (GM)	Alright, well, let's at least do a little bit of moving.
Horanoven A.	I think Aerlin and Vash wanted to test Rochelle's magic abilities
Drufle (GM)	So this is session, uh, 6.
Horanoven A.	possibly
Drufle (GM)	I do actually have these things written down now. Mostly.
Rochelle Gwerm	neat
Samantha Rose H.	im still going to have to work blind though as resize really plays with my computer. im going to have to repair my other one as it actualy has cards in it that can compute stuff
Drufle (GM)	Sounds like a plan. Samantha Rose H.: G'hesh Nhot : Longsword (2H) Longsword (2H) 19 vs AC Damage 13 Tail Slap (Razored) 14 vs AC Damage 8 Type: S
Weapon Notes	Tail slap damage is -2
Drufle (GM)	Last session ended just as the party was arriving at Defender's Heart, where Anevia's wife Irabeth had told them to come. It's a stout, tough stone building, and you can see archers lined up on the roof and in the upper windows. They draw as the party approaches.
Aerlin	Maybe let Anevia handle this? Or Vash, surely he's well known. Rochelle Gwerm gives the archers a look, but waits
Rochelle Gwerm	we have the password G'hesh Nhot is not happy
Drufle (GM)	As they see Anevia in the party, you hear someone from the building bark orders and they all lower their weapons.
Rochelle Gwerm	"Damn straight" G'hesh Nhot lowers hers too Rochelle Gwerm gave zero shits about arrows
Drufle (GM)	The door bursts open and a tall-as-hell half-orc lady runs out towards the party.
Rochelle Gwerm	how tall? this is important to me G'hesh Nhot draws her sword again Rochelle Gwerm lets her pass to Anevia
Rochelle Gwerm	"Your princess is here"
Drufle (GM)	It doesn't actually say in the book, but given some references I'd say she's just a hair over 7 feet.
Rochelle Gwerm	hah not tall
Drufle (GM)	Maybe a bit under, like 6'11".
Aerlin	Incredibly important info.
Rochelle Gwerm	yes the most important
Aerlin	Thanks for obtaining this info, Rochelle.
Rochelle Gwerm	Rochelle must tower over everyone its a rule
Drufle (GM)	She runs out and gives Anevia a big hug, causing the poor woman to squeal a bit as her still-pained leg takes a thwack. (crap i forgot to put irabeth's picture in one sec )
Aerlin	"Aww."
Rochelle Gwerm	uh oh
G'hesh Nhot	im not bothered about pictures I cannot see them anyway
Aerlin	"Irabeth, I'm guessing?"
Rochelle Gwerm	can you see...anything? like a map or image? G'hesh Nhot: G'hesh Nhot : Perception Check 21
Aerlin	It'll be a chat icon, so it's slightly important.
G'hesh Nhot	oh shit
Rochelle Gwerm	turns out Nhot can see
Irabeth Tirablade	"By the Inheritor's grace, Anevia! Oh thank the gods you're alright!"
G'hesh Nhot	I want to know more about the defenders and defence etc whats been going on here
Drufle (GM)	This place is a hell of a bulwark, it looks like what's left of the crusade has pulled all their main forces back to this building. G'hesh Nhot likes this place Irabeth Tirablade pulls away after almost a minute, and turns to the rest of the party.
G'hesh Nhot	"fight"
Irabeth Tirablade	"So, uh, found some friends?" Rochelle Gwerm waves
G'hesh Nhot	BEER
Anevia Tirablade	"Yes, these are, uh... my companions! They helped me and some other people out of the caverns after the cathedral plaza crashed."
Rochelle Gwerm	she doesn't sound too excited to introduce us
G'hesh Nhot	I want training. who I fight Irabeth Tirablade nods and shakes everyones' hands emphatically, giving them a slap on the back (except for Navaya, who she just kinda extends a finger to).
Rochelle Gwerm	:P G'hesh Nhot doesn't like the slap
Navaya	(Oh yeah that's not rude at all...!) G'hesh Nhot growls slightly
Rochelle Gwerm	"Nice to meet someone who isn't tiny"
Aerlin	hoho
Irabeth Tirablade	"I owe you folk an awful lot for saving my wife, and apparently some of the townfolk." "Look, let's get inside, eh? You folk look like you could use a rest, and we have some provisions I'm sure you'll need."
G'hesh Nhot	BBBEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRR
Aerlin	"I would love a nice rest..."
Rochelle Gwerm	"Well if you insist" Rochelle Gwerm strolls on in
Aerlin	"I am accustomed to travel, but these past few days have been more taxing than usual." G'hesh Nhot follows
Aerlin	I guess we also have those frightened temple folk. They should be safe here.
Rochelle Gwerm	oh yeah those guys
Drufle (GM)	The inn (which is what this place used to be) is full of people, mostly soldiers and priests. G'hesh Nhot goes to sniff the kegs Rochelle Gwerm: Rochelle Gwerm : Perception Check 16 Rochelle Gwerm sizes everybody up
Aerlin	We should find out who's in charge around here.
Rochelle Gwerm	lookin for the wealthy and or capable I need a new job G'hesh Nhot: G'hesh Nhot : Perception Check 9
Aerlin	We have some news to deliver, right?
G'hesh Nhot	its all beer
Aerlin	I can see you're all enthusiastic about the delivering of news.
Rochelle Gwerm	also yes, we have news its not really important to Rochelle
Aerlin	I for one am ecstatic.
Rochelle Gwerm	uh oh we have a map
G'hesh Nhot	how much is beer
Rochelle Gwerm	you know what that means
Drufle (GM)	Nothing special, I just wanted an actual backdrop.
Aerlin	Let's not get meta here.
Rochelle Gwerm	it means giant bowls of produce ehehehehe (also how did my perception roll do?)
G'hesh Nhot	someone put me under a keg please thanks
Drufle (GM)	There isn't a lot interesting in this inn, aside from, as I mentioned, a ton of soldiers and priests. G'hesh Nhot: G'hesh Nhot : Fortitude
Save: 23
Drufle (GM)	There are two old grizzled men talking in a back table.
Rochelle Gwerm	no one stands out? interesting
Drufle (GM)	One of them has a scar like an eagle's talon on his cheek, and one is missing an arm.
G'hesh Nhot	I think the keg was watered down
Rochelle Gwerm	wow, veterans
Drufle (GM)	The innkeeper runs over to Nhot and starts yelling. G'hesh Nhot belches
Drufle (GM)	"Whoa, hey there! You gotta pay for that, bub!"
G'hesh Nhot	how much
Drufle (GM)	The innkeeper is actually the one-armed dude.
Aerlin	I wouldn't worry, you have 2000 gold.
Drufle (GM)	He jumps up from his conversation with old man. Yeah, pints are half a gold each.
G'hesh Nhot	so how much is a keg?
Drufle (GM)	Limited to 10 pints a person, no more.
Aerlin	Goodness, thats pricey beer.
Rochelle Gwerm	its in Demand with low Supply
Drufle (GM)	He's willing to sell a keg for 10 gold provided you drink nothing else but the keg.
G'hesh Nhot	well the keg went so......
Rochelle Gwerm	"So how'd you lose your arm?"
Drufle (GM)	Then you owe the man 10 gp and he's keeping an eye on you. G'hesh Nhot: G'hesh Nhot : Influence Check 22 +4 Feat bonus for intimidates only
Aerlin	What a personal question! Rochelle Gwerm leans up against a wall
Aerlin	At least introduce yourself...
Rochelle Gwerm	Rochelle cuts to the chase
Drufle (GM)	"Eh? Oh, uh, used to be part of the Eagle's Watch."
G'hesh Nhot	26 says he looks away and yes ill pay him the gold
Drufle (GM)	26 says he looks away, but the rest of the inn full of trained crusaders starts watching.
G'hesh Nhot	no problem
Rochelle Gwerm	don't drink more than a keg we need you sober
Aerlin	"Maybe she's drinking to forget..."
G'hesh Nhot	fine
Rochelle Gwerm	"Eagle watch? Can't say I heard of it"
Aerlin	"How tragic."
Rochelle Gwerm	"Though I'm not from around here" G'hesh Nhot curls up under the now empty keg
Aerlin	"Aww."
Drufle (GM)	"Haven't heard of it?! Yeah, you must be a hell of an outsider. We're the Kenabres elite guards!" "Well, I used to be, at least."
Rochelle Gwerm	"Demons kinda mess everything up, eh?"
Drufle (GM)	"Little bit, big lady. The current leader of the Eagle's Watch is... well actually, I suppose it's you Irabeth, isn't it?"
Irabeth Tirablade	"Well, I'm the highest-ranking survivor, so I suppose so."
Aerlin	I imagine Red and I would like to find out what's been happening to the city for the past few days, find some authority.
Drufle (GM)	Irabeth is probably as close as you're going to get to authority as possible.
Rochelle Gwerm	"How's the pay like?" Rochelle Gwerm is kinda interested
Irabeth Tirablade	"What, for the Watch? Not much anymore, I'd imagine." Irabeth Tirablade chuckles sadly. Rochelle Gwerm looks somewhat disapointed
Aerlin	"Irabeth, can I ask what happened after the invasion? What have you found out?" Irabeth Tirablade lets out a breath and sits down at a table, motioning for the party to sit down. Rochelle Gwerm tries carefully to not break the chair as she sits down
Aerlin	I roll to sit down. I got a 5?
Irabeth Tirablade	"Hah, weak wood, isn't it? Tough to sit on when you're our size." G'hesh Nhot stirs and looks up from her position
Rochelle Gwerm	"A lot harder when your made of stone"
Irabeth Tirablade	"Heavens, I can imagine."
Rochelle Gwerm	"I feel like it might break any moment"
Aerlin	I scrape the chair awkwardly and it sounds like I farted.
Irabeth Tirablade	"Anyway, the invasino."
Aerlin	I didn't fart, though.
Rochelle Gwerm	invasion casino G'hesh Nhot farts louder
Irabeth Tirablade	"Well, the city went south real fast, I'm sure you could guess. After the Storm King killed Terendelev and took her corpse, most of the bigger demons went with him."
G'hesh Nhot	enough to make her move to the table
Aerlin	"They took the corpse?"
Rochelle Gwerm	"Why would they want a dragon corpse?"
Irabeth Tirablade	"No clue, especially with... with the head removed like that."
Rochelle Gwerm	answer: to make an undead dragon Rochelle Gwerm : Spellcraft Check 11
G'hesh Nhot	they killed a dragon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Aerlin	We're all thinking it. G'hesh Nhot is not happy
Rochelle Gwerm	headless dragon maybe
Aerlin	I suppose we should share what we know, as well.
Rochelle Gwerm	oh yeah, Neatholm
Irabeth Tirablade	"Anyway, there's still tons of tiny babus and abrikandilus running about."
G'hesh Nhot	who killed dragon!
Aerlin	And those cultists.
Rochelle Gwerm	oh right the cultists "Oh hey...one moment"
Aerlin	We have the note as well. Rochelle Gwerm pulls out the note
Drufle (GM)	Do you want to just do an Exposition Wipe?" Oh, that too.
Rochelle Gwerm	"We found this down under" Rochelle Gwerm the chair breaks as Rochelle shifts her wieght Irabeth Tirablade takes the note and reads it.
Rochelle Gwerm	oh right, /me commands sigh
G'hesh Nhot	lol
Rochelle Gwerm	"Y'know what, fine, I like the floor anyways"
Irabeth Tirablade	"Hm, this is most concerning. Three separate Templar safehouses, right in the middle of our own city. We thought we had rid Kenabres of them years ago, but clearly not." "More mentions of these crystals..."
Rochelle Gwerm	"We saw one site already, completely destroye"
G'hesh Nhot	RUBBLE
Rochelle Gwerm	"Just gone"
Aerlin	"We had plans to inspect the others, as well. We ended up here first, though."
Irabeth Tirablade	"Well, I'd highly recommend you go check out the rest of the safehouses, just in case; there might be valuable information left there, if they're not demolished like the first."
G'hesh Nhot	I can demolish whats demolish ??
Irabeth Tirablade	"A friend of mine has a task for you to do as well, but I think ridding all safe zones for the Templars is a good first step."
Aerlin	Let's tell her about Neathholm now
Rochelle Gwerm	a good idea if you may, Aerlin
Aerlin	Okay. Here I go. "neathholm"
Rochelle Gwerm	EXPOSITION WIPE
G'hesh Nhot	lol Irabeth Tirablade smiles at the mention of the mongrelmen.
Irabeth Tirablade	"The First Descendants? Truly? I knew they were real!" G'hesh Nhot falls back asleep
Rochelle Gwerm	this is like the legend of zelda link says nothing but somehow explains everything
Irabeth Tirablade	"I'll see to it that a few Eagle Knights make their way down to Neathholm as soon as possible to reinforce their home and procure their alliance."
Aerlin	Wonder if we should talk about Wenduag
Irabeth Tirablade	"Excellent! Here, let me give you the locations of the remaining safehouses, if you didn't have them already..."
Aerlin	She's probably long gone now, though.
Rochelle Gwerm	I assumed that was part of the EXPOSITION WIPE as it was about Neatholm
Drufle (GM)	Alright, so NOW we're at the part where we can sell/buy stuff.
Rochelle Gwerm	cool
Drufle (GM)	So if you had planned to do any shopping, that all happens now.
Rochelle Gwerm	I'd need to go back to Neatholm to get what I want though
G'hesh Nhot	can I get better big sword, armour or shiled?
Aerlin	Navaya and I study that spellbook. Maybe we have a chat also.
Drufle (GM)	Hmmmm.
Rochelle Gwerm	if we want to test Rochelle's magic powers with Vash then now is probably the time
G'hesh Nhot	there is a lot of military here
Drufle (GM)	You can't get a better sword, since your specialty is in longswords, and any other weapon would just remove all your special powers. And your existing sword will just get better as we level up.
G'hesh Nhot	shield
Aerlin	get a longer longsword 11 foot long
Drufle (GM)	Yeah, let me look at armor and shields.
Aerlin	wait, thats ffiiidpe we never got to the part where sephiroth shows up, though
Rochelle Gwerm	I could try to get a Huge 1-handed weapon since I could technically wield that
Drufle (GM)	Honestly, you already have some of the best heavy armor around; anything better would only be a slight AC buff and serious movement penalties. We can totally get a better shield though. How about a heavy steel shield? That's the best you can get without literally a tower shield.
Aerlin	We also have a Light Steel Shield in the bag.
Drufle (GM)	She's currently using a light steel shield. That's what she started with.
Aerlin	Oh, okay.
Drufle (GM)	And Aerlin, you can go ahead and buy your trinkets and stuff.
Aerlin	Sure thing.
Drufle (GM)	I'm not sure whether or not the party plans on taking a night off, though. Are you taking a night's rest before heading out to the other safehouses?
Rochelle Gwerm	there are things to do
Aerlin	A refresh on my spells would be nice.
Rochelle Gwerm	Rochelle wants to follow up with Vash get that magic checked out
Drufle (GM)	So, night's rest, then?
Rochelle Gwerm	also we're buying time for Mopp and Golurk to show up
Drufle (GM)	Good point.
Aerlin	Okay, so Vash and I are probably in this room here. He's helping me work on something.
Drufle (GM)	We'll take the rest and let everyone refresh their spells, and also let Aerlin make her wand. Rochelle Gwerm meanders into the room Aerlin and Vash are in
Rochelle Gwerm	"Soooo what're you two doing?"
Aerlin	Aerlin was channeling something, but stops. "Oh, hello, Rochelle."
Rochelle Gwerm	"Yo"
Aerlin	"I am crafting a magical wand. Vash here was assisting." "It's very cool."
Rochelle Gwerm	"So...magic stuff?"
Aerlin	"As always." Rochelle Gwerm tries to get a good look
Aerlin	"Once it's complete, I'm hoping it will be able to heal our wounds, without having to draw from my own power."
Rochelle Gwerm	"So...it does magic for you?" Rochelle Gwerm : Spellcraft Check 19
Steven Q.	waddup
Aerlin	"Yes, even keeping one spell in your head takes a lot, so it's rather handy."
Rochelle Gwerm	hey mopp
Samantha Rose H.	someone changed my sheet and lagged me out so I couldn't type
Navaya	"ooh, who's THIS fancy lady?"
Samantha Rose H.	ill have the shield. and I need healing aswell
Drufle (GM)	Oh sorry, I had to revert the mode change to add your shield.
Samantha Rose H.	and can you change my sheet back to simple after please
Aerlin	"Ah, Rochelle, did you gain any more insight into your Resistance ability?"
Rochelle Gwerm	"Uhhhh..." "Not a whole lot?" "What am I even looking for?"
Samantha Rose H.	and whats my ac now
Drufle (GM)	AC is 21.
Aerlin	"It is hard to say. Everyone takes to magic in their own ways. Yours appears to be instinct, but if you learned how it's working, I believe you could expand on it."
G'hesh Nhot	with the heavy shield
Aerlin	"Maybe even cast new spells?"
Rochelle Gwerm	"Riiiight..." Rochelle Gwerm tries to think
Aerlin	"Sometimes magic lives within a person, but sometimes, spellcasters like myself draw power from the world around them, and shape it into what they need."
Drufle (GM)	Nhot: yeah, with the heavy shield.
G'hesh Nhot	np
Aerlin	"I get the impression magical energy is drawn to you."
G'hesh Nhot	who do I need to see for healing
Rochelle Gwerm	sleep usually helps
Drufle (GM)	Literally anyone, this building is currently comprised like 60% of divine casters.
Navaya	"I get mine from my familiar. it's a communion thing"
Rochelle Gwerm	"You...get it from a weasel?" G'hesh Nhot goes to tell someone to heal her
Drufle (GM)	You can just assume you get healed to full, there's so much healing available. Rochelle Gwerm can't tell if you're being serious or now, Navaya
Navaya	"A _divinely_empowered_ weasel!"
Aravashnial	"A familiar is a powerful thing, miss Rochelle."
G'hesh Nhot	woops
Aravashnial	"Witches such as our fair pixie friend receive power from some great patron through their familiar."
G'hesh Nhot	whats my hp?
Navaya	"fair? aww, you flatterer!"
Drufle (GM)	Looks to be 28, Nhot. Aravashnial is just assuming things, he's still blind.
G'hesh Nhot	got it thanks
Rochelle Gwerm	have we not restored his eyes yet?
Navaya	_why is he still blind_
Rochelle Gwerm	what happened to the 60% divine casters thing
Drufle (GM)	Oh right, we can fix that now. G'hesh Nhot goes happily under her empty keg for sleep
Drufle (GM)	I forgot about that.
Rochelle Gwerm	it should have been fixed the moment he walked in
Aerlin	"I wonder, perhaps I can create a scroll for you that helps you see and understand magic."
Navaya	did you drink that entire barrel?
Rochelle Gwerm	"That'd...help I guess?"
Aerlin	"If only for a moment, it should be a learning experience."
G'hesh Nhot	yes
Drufle (GM)	Irabeth gets some decently high-leveled clerics to cast restoration spells on Anevia and Aravashnial.
Navaya	good lord
G'hesh Nhot	I rooled a crit
Aravashnial	"MY EYES OH GODS EVERYTHING IS SO BRIGHT"
Navaya	"welcome back to the land of the seeing, buddy!"
Aerlin	"It's just like that, sometimes."
Rochelle Gwerm	"Suddenly gaining sight??"
Aravashnial	"Ack, gah, I had forgotten what vision was like, thank you random cleric #17."
Aerlin	Now uh, I don't know if Roch can actually use scrolls but let's say I make her a scroll for Detect Magic.
Aravashnial	"So, magic!"
Navaya	"magic's the reason we don't have healthcare!"
Rochelle Gwerm	that's a good question can I use scrolls?
Drufle (GM)	Rochelle cannot use scrolls.
Rochelle Gwerm	welp
Drufle (GM)	Of any kind.
Navaya	what happens if she tries
Rochelle Gwerm	lets find out!
Drufle (GM)	She won't even be able to read the thing, I think. It just looks like nonsense.
Aerlin	I'll figure out how to apply the effect to her, somehow... It's all nonsense the first time!
Rochelle Gwerm	she's lucky she can even read common
Navaya	what if I made her hold daha for a day let it... absorb in
Drufle (GM)	She would get a lot of fur on her skin.
Rochelle Gwerm	tiny weasel on top of a giant stone lady
Aerlin	Each of us performs a wacky experiment on Rochelle. What will Vash do?
Rochelle Gwerm	I'm not sure it'd be very comfortable for the weasel
Navaya	what's your hair made of?
Rochelle Gwerm	Rochelle's? copper
Navaya	yah that's... not the answer I was expecting
Rochelle Gwerm	or iron
Navaya	at all
Aravashnial	"Now, now, let us not push the lady who is... very tall, gods. Let's not push her to do anything she may not be capable of."
Aerlin	Can we sell your hair...?
Rochelle Gwerm	copper iron mix
Navaya	I think that's brass, man
Rochelle Gwerm	Vash finally sees Rochelle and he is terrified
Aerlin	Just like minecraft!
Aravashnial	Her hair is actually just cunife.
Drufle (GM)	Says the GM.
Rochelle Gwerm	thanks for the insight Vash
Drufle (GM)	Brass is copper and zinc.
Navaya	im no good at chemistry
Rochelle Gwerm	its not even chemistry no chemistry is involved in alloyws
Drufle (GM)	Metallurgy is a physical process but everything is chemistry.
Rochelle Gwerm	you know what I mean
Drufle (GM)	Especially soluble phase changes. Anyway! Fantasy!
Aerlin	Aerlin transmutes some silver into gold to piss off the forces that be.
Rochelle Gwerm	"Yeah none of you could push me anyways...in the literal sense"
Aerlin	Take that, chemistry.
Aravashnial	"Not with our physical might, no. But with our minds, so much is possible!"
Rochelle Gwerm	"Y'know what, lets try that" "Maybe I'll learn something" "Push me"
Navaya	mind rape time?
Aravashnial	"Are you sure?"
Rochelle Gwerm	"yep" "Lets go"
Navaya	"ooh, this'll be fun"
Drufle (GM)	Ok, uh, how much do you weigh again?
Rochelle Gwerm	720 lbs
Aerlin	That poor chair.
Rochelle Gwerm	it never stood a chance G'hesh Nhot would like to read one day, but fighting is better
Drufle (GM)	Right, uh, let's see...
Navaya	well I know what I'll be doing for the rest of the campaign
Rochelle Gwerm	trying to push me??? you'd probably manage eventually
Navaya	teaching G'hesh literacy
Drufle (GM)	rolling d20+9( 13 )+9 = 22 What's your CMD?
Rochelle Gwerm	17 so yeah you did it I'm not sure why you needed my weight here
Drufle (GM)	Vash flicks his wrist, and you feel a massive force whip into your chest, knocking you to the ground.
Rochelle Gwerm	the ground breaks underneath me "..." "Woah"
Drufle (GM)	The spell has weight limits.
Rochelle Gwerm	"That is...literally the first time anyone has done that"
Aravashnial	"There, see? Magic!"
Rochelle Gwerm	"I think I broke the floor" Rochelle Gwerm stands back up
Aravashnial	"You, uh, probably, yes. We'll get that fixed."
Rochelle Gwerm	"Oh that is...quite a big crack"
Navaya	"wow. what floor are we on?"
Rochelle Gwerm	"I hope the ground floor" Aravashnial points at the hole in the ground, and the stone flings itself back into place. Rochelle Gwerm brushes herself off
Rochelle Gwerm	"..."
Navaya	"better"
Rochelle Gwerm	"Yeah...I wanna be able to do that" G'hesh Nhot came running in after hearing crash
Navaya	"hey! it's fine. just experimentin"
G'hesh Nhot	?????
Rochelle Gwerm	I'm curious as to what the limit was and how much you think Rochelle weighed
Aerlin	"It's a good thing you prepared these spells today."
Rochelle Gwerm	and if she should be insulted or not
Drufle (GM)	I wasn't sure if it was a 4-digit number or not.
Rochelle Gwerm	...
Aerlin	"I could tell you a joke, if you're interested."
Rochelle Gwerm	that'd be heavier than her father mate I think
G'hesh Nhot	me help
Aravashnial	"Oh, could you, now? Does it happen to be a... hideous one?" Aravashnial grins.
Aerlin	"It's my new Big Fave."
Rochelle Gwerm	"Oh, I've seen this one before" Rochelle Gwerm leaves the room
Rochelle Gwerm	"Nope"
Drufle (GM)	Alright, I think we're good there. How about we move on to the first (second) safehouse?
Aerlin	"(my jokes are pretty good though.)"
G'hesh Nhot	sure
Rochelle Gwerm	alright Rochelle is looking to find her next job though
Drufle (GM)	So, you have two options here, the Tower of Estrod, or Topaz Solutions.
G'hesh Nhot	nearest?
Rochelle Gwerm	logically the closest one but I also want some Topaz
G'hesh Nhot	FIGHT no more beer
Drufle (GM)	Unfortunately for your decision-making skills, they look to be equally close.
Rochelle Gwerm	Topaz then
Drufle (GM)	Got it.
Rochelle Gwerm	I demand the muns
Aerlin	I agree.
G'hesh Nhot	I follow
Drufle (GM)	Oh, and Vash/Anevia are not tagging along anymore.
G'hesh Nhot	why
Rochelle Gwerm	that's okay
Aerlin	I'll miss them...
Rochelle Gwerm	they're safe here we'll see them again I'm sure
Drufle (GM)	Don't worry, you will be seeing a LOT of them this campaign.
Rochelle Gwerm	its not like this place is going to get raided by demons before we get back
Navaya	"goodbye dudes! try to stay alive!"
Rochelle Gwerm	"So on a scale of 1 to 10, how much Topaz do you think is here?"
G'hesh Nhot	???
Aerlin	"I imagine it's just a name."
Drufle (GM)	So we arrive in front of the little alchemical shop known as Topaz Solutions.
Navaya	"negative three. on a scale of 1 to 10, how many monsters do you think are inside?" Rochelle Gwerm flips a gold coin
Rochelle Gwerm	"I'd give it a...5"
Drufle (GM)	There's a nice little sign hanging on the front door, with a bundle of orange flowers in a beaker. Rochelle Gwerm walks up and knocks
Drufle (GM)	The door swings open. Rochelle Gwerm shrugs
Aerlin	Woah, character growth.
Rochelle Gwerm	oh no, I'm not done oh hmmm
Navaya	hm
Drufle (GM)	Inside are a bunch of ragged dudes, picking things off the ground. One of them turns to the door as he hears it open.
Rochelle Gwerm	"Hello" can I even fit through this door?
Drufle (GM)	"Whoa, uh, they there! Big lady."
Rochelle Gwerm	"So what's up?"
Drufle (GM)	"Hey there, I mean."
Navaya	"so, having fun lootin' this place/"
Drufle (GM)	"Just, you know, looking around the city, seeing what's left."
G'hesh Nhot	i want to be right next to the guys
Rochelle Gwerm	"Sounds like a good plan if we ever heard one"
Navaya	"cool, cool"
Rochelle Gwerm	"We're gonna look around a bit if you don't mind, yeah?"
Aerlin	There's a lot of them. Let's just make sure they didn't make off with any evidence."
Drufle (GM)	"Oh, sure! Yeah, go ahead, I think we got most of the good stuff, sorry."
Navaya	"evidence of what?" G'hesh Nhot goes inbetween the looters
Aerlin	Demony stuff. Rochelle Gwerm: Rochelle Gwerm : Perception Check 9
Aerlin	Let's roll perception.
Drufle (GM)	"Uh, hello, dragon lady? What's up?"
Aerlin	14 for me.
Rochelle Gwerm	"What kinda stuff you guys find here?"
Navaya	"eh, if they have,, whoever did it is prolly a corrupt monster by now"
G'hesh Nhot	my sheet is still not loaded
Rochelle Gwerm	"Don't mind the dragon, she's a warrior of simple words"
Navaya	jesus christ sam what's going on
Drufle (GM)	"Some antitoxin, nice cutlery, nothing even remotely interesting. I mean really, heavily-trafficked alchemist's shop like this? Nothing? It's kinda suspicious if you ask me."
Rochelle Gwerm	"Yeah...that's actually why we're here"
Drufle (GM)	"Oh cool? Well go ahead, we're gonna head out before things get nasty in this area."
Rochelle Gwerm	"Alright, good luck" G'hesh Nhot: G'hesh Nhot : Influence Check 7 +4 Feat bonus for intimidates only
Aerlin	These guys are chill.
Navaya	can I make a sense motive check
Aerlin	I like them.
Navaya	is there anything to sense
G'hesh Nhot	only 11 damn

Rochelle Gwerm	I sense zero motives
Navaya	I sense negative motives
G'hesh Nhot	what about my 16?
Drufle (GM)	They were right, looks like they cleaned out most of the valuables in the room.
Navaya	feh!
Aerlin	I'll cast Detect Magic, see if there's anything odd.
Rochelle Gwerm	they weren't lying about what they found?
Drufle (GM)	Obviously Red would not allow them to walk away but he's not here right now.
Rochelle Gwerm	hah
Drufle (GM)	Not that any of you know of!
Navaya	he's sleeby
G'hesh Nhot	i wont let them walk
Drufle (GM)	Speaking of Red, though, I'll let him perception.
Rochelle Gwerm	Nhot you are very very far behind they're already gone
Aerlin	I'm thinking...secret comparments?

Rochelle Gwerm	someone moved me I want this door
Drufle (GM)	The... door.
Navaya	"Roch what in golarion are you doing..."
Rochelle Gwerm	yes
Drufle (GM)	Why?
Rochelle Gwerm	because it bothers Red this is solely to spite him
Navaya	I think it bothers all of us except the obvious
Aerlin	I know there's something around here...
Drufle (GM)	Well, uh, make a STR check?
Navaya	even Daha is getting disgruntled!

Rochelle Gwerm	"Almost forgot"
Drufle (GM)	If you let a few minutes pass, you can make another PER check.
Rochelle Gwerm	"The golden rule" G'hesh Nhot goes into new room
Aerlin	I got a nat 20.
Drufle (GM)	Ah. There's a hidden door right there. A switch lies behind a shelf of alchemical supplies.
Aerlin	I warn the others, then flick it. G'hesh Nhot: G'hesh Nhot : Perception Check 2 Rochelle Gwerm hefts the door, ready for action
Drufle (GM)	Nhot faceplants or something. G'hesh Nhot hasn't got a clue
Drufle (GM)	The wall rumbles, and before you is a staircase leading downwards. G'hesh Nhot is still wondering where the door went Rochelle Gwerm attempts to surf down the stairs on the door
Rochelle Gwerm	heat of the moment lets goooo G'hesh Nhot runs after
Rochelle Gwerm	what do I roll, acrobatics?
Aerlin	"I knew it. it was stairs all along." Roll for stairs??
Rochelle Gwerm	stair surfing
Drufle (GM)	This basement is old and musty, made of packed earth. G'hesh Nhot: G'hesh Nhot : Athletics Check 15
Drufle (GM)	Old gourds hang from the ceiling. Rochelle Gwerm: Rochelle Gwerm : Athletics Check 27
G'hesh Nhot	i chase after
Aerlin	I'll walk down, calmly, after Rochelle.
Rochelle Gwerm	I'll try athletics "Wooo!!"
Drufle (GM)	A massive pile of oozing plant matter sits on the floor, and there's a strange-looking toy sitting on a table near the south wall.
Aerlin	I will not be rolling anything. G'hesh Nhot likes toy
Drufle (GM)	A chest sits below the table, and a horrible symbol is carved into the wall above.
Aerlin	Is the toy magical? G'hesh Nhot goes to toy Rochelle Gwerm: Rochelle Gwerm : Spellcraft Check 10
G'hesh Nhot	please
Rochelle Gwerm	...
Aerlin	You know what.
Drufle (GM)	Nhot goes to the toy! G'hesh Nhot pokes it with sword
Aerlin	The huge L1 on that last room should have clued me in.
Drufle (GM)	:P
Rochelle Gwerm	"And that's why you don't leave doors hinged"
Drufle (GM)	As Nhot approaches the table, the symbol above animates.
G'hesh Nhot	ooooooh
Drufle (GM)	It's a picture of a bull's head in an inverted pentagram. Rochelle Gwerm hurls the door at the symbol
Navaya	"Ghesh you PROLLY should move right now!"
Rochelle Gwerm	can I do that?
Aerlin	"Looks innocent." G'hesh Nhot: G'hesh Nhot : Perception Check 13 Rochelle Gwerm: Rochelle Gwerm : Strength
Check: 22
Drufle (GM)	It laughs, and says, "Ahh... I hope you are Iomedae's slaves, I would hate to think of mere peasants wasting such a personal greeting from Baphomet!"
G'hesh Nhot	??????
Rochelle Gwerm	"Who's Iomedae?"
Navaya	"we're mere peasants! mere peasants!!"
Drufle (GM)	And the little toy, which you can now see more closely.
G'hesh Nhot	oooooh toy
Drufle (GM)	It's a multi-armed serpentine woman, her arms raises above a glass bottle containing what appears to be water. Her swords smash down on the bottle, and the contents spray everywhere.
Rochelle Gwerm	that reaches here??? well shit
Drufle (GM)	Wow it actually affects everyone in the room, that's a strong bottl.e
Rochelle Gwerm	Reflex saves? G'hesh Nhot doesn't like the toy now

Drufle (GM)	Aerlin is so very fine.
Rochelle Gwerm	since she's right next to me ?
Drufle (GM)	The DC is 14.
Rochelle Gwerm	er. navaya she's a bit further away
Drufle (GM)	Uh, that's not really how a vapor works.

Save: 20
Drufle (GM)	As the water-ish liquid immediately vaporizes.
Navaya	OF COURSE
Rochelle Gwerm	really sorry...
Drufle (GM)	And out of the oozy plant leaps a tiny little plant monster!
Navaya	EVERYONE BUT THE WEAKLING

Drufle (GM)	Although the little guy is very shrieky.
G'hesh Nhot	what about the toy
Drufle (GM)	Just a toy.
Navaya	"I-i-i- knnowww and it-ttt-s SO STUPID"
Rochelle Gwerm	is it worth money?
Drufle (GM)	Is that really the biggest concern right now?
Rochelle Gwerm	yes yes it is
G'hesh Nhot	yes its pretty

Drufle (GM)	Nat 1 and he's as fast as you.
Rochelle Gwerm	all things considered
Drufle (GM)	Yeah, he's still last. Nat 1's always go last.
Rochelle Gwerm	oh well
Drufle (GM)	Alright, Aerlin!
Rochelle Gwerm	"Is that thing...an enemy or?" Rochelle Gwerm points at the tiny plant creature
Aerlin	First of all, I'd like to roll knowledge to figure out what this plant stuff is.
Drufle (GM)	Nature away.
Aerlin	14+5
Drufle (GM)	This is a mandragora! A horrible little monster spawned from mandrake roots that have absorbed demonic energy.
Aerlin	Should we touch that stuff on the floor? Seems like a bad idea to me.
Drufle (GM)	Oh, that? That stuff is actually just moss. He was just hiding to ambush you.
Rochelle Gwerm	normal moss?
G'hesh Nhot	it means if it screams we all get knocked out
Rochelle Gwerm	yeah lets not allow that
Drufle (GM)	Oh, and he has acid/cold/electricity resistance. Due to being demonish.
Rochelle Gwerm	I wish I still had that door
G'hesh Nhot	what about swords?
Navaya	well I'l just sit here being useless swords are fine
Drufle (GM)	It is decently weak to swords.
Navaya	prune away
G'hesh Nhot	oh good
Drufle (GM)	So Aerlin, you gonna cast a spell?
Rochelle Gwerm	immune to mind effects due to a plant I bet
Navaya	you know it
Drufle (GM)	Sure is! Plant traits are great things.
Aerlin	Move to here. Still paranoid about the moss so I'll step around that. Let's see... Ah heck. Spear it.
Drufle (GM)	Toss away.
Aerlin	21 attack
Drufle (GM)	Hit!
Aerlin	8 damage.
Drufle (GM)	Gotcha. Nhot's turn.
Navaya	quick question is this the same day that we did Anevia's house G'hesh Nhot: G'hesh Nhot : Longsword (2H) Longsword (2H) 15 vs AC Damage 14 Tail Slap (Razored) 20 vs AC Damage 12 Type: S
Weapon Notes	Tail slap damage is -2
Drufle (GM)	No, Navaya. We took a rest.
Aerlin	Oh right, he bleeds now too.
Navaya	cool
Drufle (GM)	1 bleed?
Aerlin	Assuming it can bleed? Yeah 1.
Navaya	...does that work on plants
Drufle (GM)	It can bleed, yes.
Rochelle Gwerm	sap man
G'hesh Nhot	is plant dead
Navaya	leaks phloem
Drufle (GM)	Sword misses, tail hits.
G'hesh Nhot	oh
Drufle (GM)	Next is, uh, the mandragora!
G'hesh Nhot	crap
Rochelle Gwerm	interesting will saves for days...
G'hesh Nhot	is that -1 ac?
Drufle (GM)	You 2H, so it's actually -2. Since your shield has a +2 bonus now.
G'hesh Nhot	ok
Drufle (GM)	Everyone make a will save! Rochelle Gwerm: Rochelle Gwerm : Willpower
Save: 7 Navaya:
Navaya	Willpower
Save:20
Rochelle Gwerm	fuck will

Drufle (GM)	Nhot, your will is +3. If you need that. G'hesh Nhot: G'hesh Nhot : Willpower
Save: 5
Drufle (GM)	Wow, ok. Navaya is the only one that saves.
G'hesh Nhot	ouch
Drufle (GM)	rolling d4( 2 ) = 2
Rochelle Gwerm	we all die, the end
Navaya	why are you so fatalistic
Drufle (GM)	The rest of you are nauseated for 2 rounds, meaning you cannot take any standard actions.
Rochelle Gwerm	because mandrakes also fuck
Navaya	did it just squeal at them
Aerlin	"Urp."
G'hesh Nhot	yes
Rochelle Gwerm	"Urhg...what the hell?"
Drufle (GM)	The mandragora lets an ear-splitting shriek roar out, and your eardrums crackle at the sound.
G'hesh Nhot	harry potter anyone
Navaya	"yeah I'm used to that thanks"
Rochelle Gwerm	how the fuck are we supposed to do anything now
Drufle (GM)	So, uh, Rochelle!
Rochelle Gwerm	what the actual fuck can I do
Navaya	sit there while I save your ass
Drufle (GM)	The answer is that you play keep away from the tiny plant man.
G'hesh Nhot	i can still tail smack
Drufle (GM)	Can you?
Rochelle Gwerm	fuck that I want to stomp it
G'hesh Nhot	its a natural
Rochelle Gwerm	that's a standard action
Drufle (GM)	Are natural attacks swift? Yeah, it's standard too.
G'hesh Nhot	i thought it said does not take standard action
Rochelle Gwerm	I need something to do it means you can use it with your sword, Nhot
G'hesh Nhot	that's why you put them together in my attack thing
Drufle (GM)	Yeah, that just means you can use both as a full-round attack. Not that you can use one as a swift action.
G'hesh Nhot	oh damn
Navaya	druf did you roll for red
Drufle (GM)	Oh, right. default Red Redford : Willpower
Save: 25 He's very alright.
Navaya	ok so it's not just me
Drufle (GM)	You and Red, yeah.
Rochelle Gwerm	I refuse to do anything until I have a plan what can I do
G'hesh Nhot	hide behind red
Drufle (GM)	Move away, probably.
Aerlin	http://www.d20pfsrd.com/gamemastering/combat/#TOC-Move-Actions
Rochelle Gwerm	why would I want to move away?
Navaya	sit there like a lemon if you want
Aerlin	Here's your options.
Rochelle Gwerm	I am the tank
G'hesh Nhot	same here
Drufle (GM)	Well then you can just move up to it and let it smack you. That is also a valid option.
Rochelle Gwerm	its me or Nhot I could...drop my weapon on top of it
Drufle (GM)	I don't think that does any damage. Or if it did it would be like. 1d3 nonlethal.
Rochelle Gwerm	I'm going to move closer to it
G'hesh Nhot	flanked
Rochelle Gwerm	if it wants to reach the others it needs to tank two AoOs
Aerlin	Can we still provoke AoO like this?
Drufle (GM)	Right then, after Rochelle is Navaya.
Rochelle Gwerm	AoOs aren't standard actions, I don't think
Drufle (GM)	Yeah, you're fine. They're immediate actions. Creature can only take a move action and cannot attack, cast spells, or concentrate. So Navaya, want to help?
Rochelle Gwerm	silence this little shit kill it dead
G'hesh Nhot	ears hurt
Navaya	yeah hang on a sec
Drufle (GM)	I should note that the cold resist is only 5, so if you have any big-hitter cold spells they still might help.
Navaya	is roch getting in the way of my los
Drufle (GM)	Nope.
Navaya	ok cool first thing then, is to roll knowledge on these things
Drufle (GM)	Uh, what for? Aerlin already did that.
Navaya	like, do I know their vulnerabilities
Aerlin	What's going on with the doll? Could get some insight there too.
Drufle (GM)	It has a weakness but literally none of you are capable of exploiting it so I didn't bother mentioning it.
Navaya	it was literally just a trap
Drufle (GM)	It's weak to supernatural darkness.
Navaya	I think I might, druf
Aerlin	Can I light it on fire
Rochelle Gwerm	that is the weirdest weakness I've ever heard for a demon plant it resists fire
Aerlin	Are you sure
Drufle (GM)	Hells bells, Navaya has me pegged.
Rochelle Gwerm	demonic
Drufle (GM)	Yeah, that'd work.
Navaya	:3
Rochelle Gwerm	Navaya you legend
Navaya	right then! I cast shadow stream at the mandragora!
Rochelle Gwerm	woah
G'hesh Nhot	oh Navaya: Navaya : Shadow Stream
Spell Level: Winter Witch, 1
School: Evocation (Darkness)
Cast Time: 1 standard action
Components: V, S
Range: 30 (30')
Effects/Target: 30' line
Duration: Instantaneous
Spell Resistance: Yes
Save: Reflex half DC: 16 Concentration: +10 Rolls Caster Level Check (Level) =9
Original spell level: bloodrager 1, magus 1, nightblade 1, sorcerer/wizard 1, witch 1 A twisting stream of inky darkness sprays from your outstretched hand. Any creature caught in the area of the shadows takes 1d4 points of cold damage per caster level (maximum 5d4). A Reflex save halves the damage.
Drufle (GM)	Reflex, right. rolling d20+7 ( 17 )+7 = 24
Navaya	bah!
Drufle (GM)	Good on that part.
Rochelle Gwerm	fuck this creature get rid of it
Drufle (GM)	Roll damage anyway.
Rochelle Gwerm	I hate it
G'hesh Nhot	don't fuck the plant
Navaya	rolling 3d4( 1 + 1 + 2 ) = 4
Drufle (GM)	Words of wisdom from Nhot.
Navaya	awwwww
Rochelle Gwerm	I can't burn it with fire or acid this is terrible
Aerlin	You said it was weak to this? What does that do for us?
Drufle (GM)	Aw, man. Well, it is now affected as if it were slowed. So it can only take a move or standard action each turn, and gets a -1 on all rolls, and move at half speed.
Navaya	it has a -4 penalty to saves or something for being weak "A creature with vulnerabilities takes half again as much damage (+50%) from a specific energy type, regardless of whether a saving throw is allowed or if the save is a success or failure. Creatures with a vulnerability that is not an energy type instead take a –4 penalty on saves against spells and effects that cause or use the listed vulnerability (such as spells with the light descriptor). Some creatures might suffer additional effects, as noted in their descriptions."
Drufle (GM)	I mean, yes, but I still pass with a -4.
Navaya	pfeh!
Drufle (GM)	:P
Aerlin	What types does it resist, again?
Drufle (GM)	He's slowed anyway! Acid, cold, electricity.
Rochelle Gwerm	not fire??? god damn it
Aerlin	Told you!
Drufle (GM)	Plant monsters are not weak to fire.
Navaya	"yeah, how'd you like that, ya gross root?"
Drufle (GM)	For some reason. The mandragora starts recoiling from the frigid darkness.
Navaya	its too cliche, hora also dark vulnerabiliy isn't weird
Aerlin	If it's not dead in two turns I'm lighting it on fire.
Navaya	plants need light!
Drufle (GM)	Also, let's be honest, living plants are not very weak to fire.
G'hesh Nhot	its not pokecon
Navaya	and supernatureal darkness is like negative light
Drufle (GM)	Anyway, Red! For, uh, all he can do. I guess eagles????
Rochelle Gwerm	1d3 eagles go???
Navaya	summon somehing that can't hear
G'hesh Nhot	yes
Navaya	moles? moles
Rochelle Gwerm	a deaf animal would be greate celestial moles or something
G'hesh Nhot	worms don't have ears and eat plants
Navaya	I know moles are blind and not deaf but summon them anyway
Rochelle Gwerm	worms are vermin I think
Drufle (GM)	I don't think I can summon anything without hearing.
Navaya	(it's fine anyway)
Drufle (GM)	Oh, there's giant centipedes, those are immune to mind-affecting things.
Rochelle Gwerm	go for it then why not bugs eat plants
G'hesh Nhot	what
Navaya	(it literally doesn't matter anymore)
Rochelle Gwerm	it can still scream
Drufle (GM)	KERBAM ANGELIC CENTIPEDE
Navaya	it has a little halo
Rochelle Gwerm	"The heck is this???"
Navaya	it's delightful
Rochelle Gwerm	"What even is that?"
Navaya	"OH IT'S SO CUTE"
Drufle (GM)	rolling d20+4( 3 )+4 = 7 Aww. Poor centipede.
Aerlin	"Now I'm even more sick."
Drufle (GM)	Anyway, top of the round and everyone make another fort save!
Navaya	oh

Drufle (GM)	Oh, there we go. So just Aerlin then. Aerlin starts jittering rapidly, as a sudden burst of adrenaline starts rushing through her.
Navaya	oh so this is multi-stage gass
Drufle (GM)	For the next 2 hours, you get a +2 on initiative checks and a -2 to all dexterity-based rolls.
Rochelle Gwerm	told you, its bad gass
Navaya	actually coffee gas sounds great
Drufle (GM)	So, Aerlin! You are now shaking wildly, what do you do.
G'hesh Nhot	"gas not friend"
Aerlin	Hmm...
Rochelle Gwerm	we're all still nauseated this fight is horrible
Drufle (GM)	For one more round, yeah.
Aerlin	What's happening in the corner there, where the doll is?
Drufle (GM)	Absolutely nothing.
G'hesh Nhot	you go up. i keep it here
Drufle (GM)	The symbol and doll have been still the entire time since this all started.
Aerlin	I wonder, can I use my scale or is that standard? I think it was?
Drufle (GM)	Uh, what does your scale do?
Aerlin	Levitate.
Drufle (GM)	Standard, yeah. Actually I don't know why I asked, they're all standards.
Navaya	"Y'all are useless!"
Rochelle Gwerm	"I dun see you doing anything!"
Navaya	"except Red he's cool" "at least I tried!"
Drufle (GM)	An Attempt was made.
G'hesh Nhot	"ears hurt bad"
Aerlin	I'm going to take out my flask of oil, then.
Rochelle Gwerm	"I can't see straight with this stupid plant screaming"
Drufle (GM)	Gotcha.
Aerlin	And that's all.
Drufle (GM)	Then Nhot! Anything for your move action?
G'hesh Nhot	?????? kick?
Drufle (GM)	You cannot make any attacks.
G'hesh Nhot	stomp? then i wait
Drufle (GM)	At least not any that do any actual damage. Gotcha. Mandragora! He's gonna come chomp at Nhot. I say chomp, I'm actually using slams.
Navaya	he has the teeth for it
G'hesh Nhot	is my ac back up to normal now
Drufle (GM)	rolling d20+8( 5 )+8 = 13 rolling d20+8 ( 15 )+8 = 23 Yes. One of those hits. rolling d4+2 ( 2 )+2 = 4

Save: 20
Drufle (GM)	Alright, you're good.
Navaya	ooh, lucky you
Drufle (GM)	Thank goodness for that too, this poison is nasty stuff. G'hesh Nhot really hates the noisy green thing
Drufle (GM)	He is also gonna take a 5-foot against the wall to stop being flanked. Rochelle!
Rochelle Gwerm	get the FUCK back here you little shit
G'hesh Nhot	wait do we get to hit?
Drufle (GM)	No. 5-foot steps do not trigger AoOs.
Rochelle Gwerm	I love being able to do absolutely nothing
G'hesh Nhot	bastard
Rochelle Gwerm	its fucking GREAT
Drufle (GM)	And now Navaya!
Rochelle Gwerm	to be unable to fucking contribute
Navaya	welcome to my normal gameplay experience, buckaroo
Aerlin	You're provoking just fine.
Navaya	anyway!
Aerlin	It's not exciting, but it's valuable.
Drufle (GM)	And besides, you've spent 5 sessions smashing everything to pieces!
Navaya	I don't need LOS for this one
G'hesh Nhot	and
Rochelle Gwerm	yeah because you threw things that couldn't take a hit
Drufle (GM)	Yeah, Nhot too.

Aerlin	Was this a gas or a vapour?
Drufle (GM)	Uh, vapor.
Rochelle Gwerm	I'd love to make a skill check
Aerlin	So is it maybe, falling?
Rochelle Gwerm	figure out what's going on
Drufle (GM)	No, it's relatively well-suspended in the air.
Aerlin	Crud.
Navaya	it's a cloud
Drufle (GM)	If only anyone had wind magic.......
Rochelle Gwerm	do I look like a cloud giant?
Navaya	it would not help at all look where we are
G'hesh Nhot	............
Navaya	it fills the fugging room
Drufle (GM)	Aerlin, any ideas?
Aerlin	Was it immune to mind effects? I might cast Sleep.
Drufle (GM)	It is indeed.

Navaya	plants don't need sleep
Aerlin	No wonder it's so cranky.
Rochelle Gwerm	just...just kill it end this fight
G'hesh Nhot	SMASH
Aerlin	Can't spear from here..
Drufle (GM)	I mean, you can move.
Rochelle Gwerm	move if you must
G'hesh Nhot	why does will have to be the one save i cannot make
Aerlin	Let's give it a shot.
Drufle (GM)	Because you're a fighter. That's the thing about melee classes. Terrible will saves.
G'hesh Nhot	damn
Aerlin	10+5 -4?
Drufle (GM)	The splinters?
Aerlin	Oh by the way has it been bleeding?
G'hesh Nhot	the slowed
Drufle (GM)	Yeah, that's very much a miss. It is bleeding, yes.
G'hesh Nhot	from the dark magic thing
Aerlin	Guess that's me.
Drufle (GM)	Slow doesn't reduce its AC nearly that far.
Aerlin	I put the flask away, by the way. What was I thinking?
G'hesh Nhot	oh
Drufle (GM)	Nhot!
Aerlin	We're in a tiny flammable room. There's explosive chemicals around, maybe. G'hesh Nhot: G'hesh Nhot : Longsword (1H) Longsword (1H) 17 vs AC Damage 9 Tail Slap (Razored) 10 vs AC Damage 6 Type: S
Drufle (GM)	Hit, miss. We're getting there, folks.

G'hesh Nhot	yay
Drufle (GM)	rolling d20+8( 7 )+8 = 15 rolling d20+8 ( 14 )+8 = 22 One hit. rolling d4+2 ( 2 )+2 = 4

Save: 8 oh
Drufle (GM)	A fail!
Navaya	enjoy your poison
G'hesh Nhot	beer?
Drufle (GM)	You are now both fatigued and confused.
G'hesh Nhot	i already am
Drufle (GM)	You take a -1 to hit and AC, and pffft
Navaya	you could probably make a tea out of it
Drufle (GM)	And every time your turn comes (if that happens again), I get to roll to see what you do. So, Rochelle!
G'hesh Nhot	what i do? Rochelle Gwerm has reached the absolute end of her patience
Drufle (GM)	Well, we'll see if we make it back around.
Rochelle Gwerm	not that she had a lot to begin with Rochelle Gwerm rages
Aerlin	Oh geez, you're gonna hit someone.
Drufle (GM)	That is an option, yes! Confusion is great stuff.
G'hesh Nhot	oh crap stand back squshy people Rochelle Gwerm: Rochelle Gwerm : Father's Greatclub Attack 28 vs AC Damage 12 Type: B
Weapon Notes	A large greatclub made of stone.
Navaya	you can also Hit Yourself In Confusion
Rochelle Gwerm	rolling 1d6( 4 ) = 4
Drufle (GM)	Indeed.
G'hesh Nhot	I'm good with that
Drufle (GM)	Man, I cannot believe this dumb plant is still living. Rochelle Gwerm slams her greatclub down with excessive wrath
Rochelle Gwerm	fuck it, that's a power attack now I'm done with this fight
Drufle (GM)	You can't declare that after the roll!
Rochelle Gwerm	FUCK THIS FIGHT
G'hesh Nhot	lol
Aerlin	Go Red!
Navaya	you're so bad at not having your way
Aerlin	You can do it.
Rochelle Gwerm	this fight is taking way to fucking long
Drufle (GM)	I'm gonna let Navaya have her turn now.
Navaya	oh jeez
Rochelle Gwerm	it needed to end 2 rounds ago G'hesh Nhot literaly has no idea what is going on. ears and ringing and plant stuff stings
Drufle (GM)	It's only been 3 rounds!
Rochelle Gwerm	1 hour ago
Navaya	riffles through bag trying to find something to cure Nhot
Rochelle Gwerm	it needed to end an hour ago
Aerlin	I was just gonna daze her.
Drufle (GM)	What, Nhot? That might actually be a good idea, yeah.
Navaya	really? ok
Rochelle Gwerm	we have nothing that can cure confusion
Aerlin	I mean, she can make a Will save.
Drufle (GM)	Navaya if you have literally any non-cold damage I would use it, however.
Rochelle Gwerm	just...kill the plant
Navaya	what's it's HP at
Drufle (GM)	Extroardinarily low.
Aerlin	No numbers allowed.
Drufle (GM)	... Extraordinarily? I'm bad at that word.
Navaya	ah! here it is
G'hesh Nhot	kill it fix me after Navaya brandishes her wand of magic missile
Drufle (GM)	Oh, shit. That thing.
Aerlin	Nice.
G'hesh Nhot	I'm next to a tank and centepied
Navaya	forgotten superweapon
Drufle (GM)	Fire away then. However much damage that is.
Navaya	uh wait a moment while I look up magic missile
Rochelle Gwerm	wasn't it 1d4 or 1d6 force damage?
Drufle (GM)	2d4+2.
Rochelle Gwerm	I don't know if we're a high enough level to- oh I guess we are
Drufle (GM)	You get two missiles for being level 3.
Navaya	rolling 2d4+2( 3 + 3 )+2 = 8
Aerlin	That's a nice wand.
Navaya	kapow!
Drufle (GM)	Yeah the plant just collapses. Rochelle Gwerm hurls the plants corpse across the room before calming down
Aerlin	Yay. I cast Daze on Nhot.
Navaya	10 charges lift
Drufle (GM)	As does the centipede, I imagine.
Navaya	*left
Drufle (GM)	Also I would highly recommend you guys vacate the basement! Leave, quickly! That gas has another 6 rounds on it!
G'hesh Nhot	????
Aerlin	"It's all over, stop swinging that thing around."
Rochelle Gwerm	I'm going to take that toy first
Navaya	"ALRIGHT EVERYONE OUT"
Aerlin	"Off we go."
Rochelle Gwerm	and punch the symbol
G'hesh Nhot	??????
Aerlin	I'll escort Nhot out. It's the least I could do.
Navaya	where did I go
Aerlin	"God, that was just awful."
Drufle (GM)	(i think i just slung navaya away) (one sec)
Navaya	"Yeah that wasn't our finest thirty seconds was it"
Aerlin	"I still feel a little strange.
Drufle (GM)	Right, so, after about a minute, the confusion/fatigue/horrible gas has all worn away.
Rochelle Gwerm	I took the toy beforehand because I have a ton of Forte
Drufle (GM)	Does anyone want to bother with the chest under the table?
G'hesh Nhot	"me don't like plants now"
Rochelle Gwerm	Rochelle is already down there
Navaya	is it a mimic?
Aerlin	I'll inspect it first.
Rochelle Gwerm	also I bust that symbol on the wall
Aerlin	Magically and just like with my eyeballs. 16 percept.
Drufle (GM)	Doesn't appear to be any magic or traps on this box.
Navaya	"Yeah Ghesh some plants just wanna turn that food cycle upside down"
Drufle (GM)	If Nhot wasn't already a strict carnivore, she is now.
Aerlin	Hmm...
G'hesh Nhot	i go meat and beer only now ....
Drufle (GM)	Keto diet. Rochelle Gwerm breaks open the chest
Aerlin	"I've new materials for the archives."
Drufle (GM)	Str check!
Aerlin	"..." Rochelle Gwerm: Rochelle Gwerm : Father's Greatclub Attack 27 vs AC Damage 15 Type: B

Drufle (GM)	No, not the club!
G'hesh Nhot	hit
Rochelle Gwerm	I've been denied any action for a full hour
Drufle (GM)	The chest's lid crumples a bit under your first and the hinges bend away.
Rochelle Gwerm	I'm doing shit now
Aerlin	"The poor man's lockpick. Well done."
Drufle (GM)	And to Aerlin, there's no reaction to your password.
Navaya	the funny thing is that in-universe you were KO'd for all of twenty seconds
G'hesh Nhot	i wanna go
Navaya	so you are now demonstrating that you have less impulse control than Ghesh
Rochelle Gwerm	I am spiteful and vengefull
Navaya	:P
Rochelle Gwerm	I need a door
Aerlin	"Hmm. Not a passphrase for anything magical, then...?"
Drufle (GM)	Inside are what appear to be five holy symbols made of stone.
Navaya	can we all go back down now
Drufle (GM)	If you want, yeah.
Rochelle Gwerm	put them into the treasure bag
Drufle (GM)	Fort save!
Aerlin	I'll do Rochelle Gwerm: Rochelle Gwerm : Fortitude

Drufle (GM)	There's some kind of slimy paste on the holy symbols.
Rochelle Gwerm	saves
G'hesh Nhot	damn lag
Navaya	wow
Aerlin	We should really get gloves for this.
Drufle (GM)	There's a note underneath them. G'hesh Nhot: G'hesh Nhot : Fortitude
Save: 11
Drufle (GM)	It reads, "oly symbols oflomedae stacked under a note that reads, " We don't need these anymore, but figured if you survived our surprise, it would be just plain rude to leave behind an empty chest for your troubles!" Oops. C/p messed up there.
Navaya	oh god, savvy assholes
Drufle (GM)	" We don't need these anymore, but figured if you survived our surprise, it would be just plain rude to leave behind an empty chest for your troubles! There, slightly better. Rochelle Gwerm takes the holy symbols
Drufle (GM)	And for those wondering, why yes, the nice toy is in fact worth some money. G'hesh Nhot punches something
Rochelle Gwerm	good thing we have the toy
Drufle (GM)	250 gp, specifically.
Rochelle Gwerm	more things for the treasure bag
Navaya	drufle you know how carrion compass lets you home in on the creator of an undead
Drufle (GM)	Yeah?
Navaya	is there one for ordinary objects and/or holy ones?
Drufle (GM)	Yyyyyes, although I don't recall the name.
Navaya	because Navi would especially like to hunt down who set this trap up and freeze them solid for Roch to smash
Drufle (GM)	Gotcha. G'hesh Nhot: G'hesh Nhot : Strength
Check: 16
Navaya	she cares about her friends
Drufle (GM)	Well that's this place totally cleaned out, then.
G'hesh Nhot	next
Rochelle Gwerm	so we got...5 holy symbols and 1 toy
Drufle (GM)	Good thing you guys also avoided the fight with the looters.
Rochelle Gwerm	Drufle please
Navaya	were we meant to kill them all
Aerlin	I mean they didn't seem up for it.
Rochelle Gwerm	they wouldn't have dared fight a half-stone giant
G'hesh Nhot	i wanted that fight. but lag stopped me typing
Drufle (GM)	If you made any attempt to take their stuff back, they fight.
Navaya	ah
Rochelle Gwerm	I didn't care for cutlery
Navaya	well thank god for slow dragons"
Drufle (GM)	They're not super weak, but they're mook guys.
Drufle (GM)	Anyway, the final safehouse!
G'hesh Nhot	fight
Drufle (GM)	... should we move on to it right away? It's another relatively big fight.
Rochelle Gwerm	no matter what it'll take an hour or two
Drufle (GM)	How are people feeling about another brawl?
Navaya	I did spend two spells on this one thing
Aerlin	Go for it.
Rochelle Gwerm	I want to hit something now
Navaya	let the fighters fight
G'hesh Nhot	fight
Drufle (GM)	The Tower of Estrod is not as much of a tower as you might think. Rochelle Gwerm casts Resistance on herself
Drufle (GM)	Or, at least, it isn't anymore.
G'hesh Nhot	brb Rochelle Gwerm breaks the doors down Rochelle Gwerm: Rochelle Gwerm : Strength
Check: 16
Drufle (GM)	Most of the top seems to have been- alright well I need a STR check for that.
Rochelle Gwerm	18 total
Drufle (GM)	Ok, these are reinforced iron doors, they just bend a bit. G'hesh Nhot goes to find somewhere to relieve her of the keg of beer in her bladder
Drufle (GM)	You hear a voice from inside. "Geez, wait, alright? Don't gotta knock the door down. Alright, password?"
Aerlin	Aerlin is super ready. "I've new materials for the archives."
Drufle (GM)	"Huh, don't recognize your voice. More recruits from outside, eh? Alright, come on in." You hear a bunch of clanking and shifting and the doors slowly open.
Navaya	what if we were just murderers oh wait
Aerlin	Should Red come in here?
Drufle (GM)	"Wow, uh, interesting disguises you guys got on here."
Aerlin	He's probably not that convincing...
G'hesh Nhot	I'm back, who do i punch
Drufle (GM)	Red will probably hang outside.
Rochelle Gwerm	"You'd be surprised how well they work"
Navaya	"do I look like a disguise?"
Aerlin	I'm gonna percept real quick.
G'hesh Nhot	fight
Aerlin	19
Rochelle Gwerm	okay so...murder now or in 2 seconds?
Drufle (GM)	"Alright, theres some bedrolls here for you guys to rest. Food sucks, but it's all we have for now."
G'hesh Nhot	surprise attack? Rochelle Gwerm: Rochelle Gwerm : Perception Check 2
Drufle (GM)	Doesn't appear to be anything, Aerlin, aside from a staircase leading down.
Rochelle Gwerm	wait till we're in a better position
G'hesh Nhot	can i kill him?
Navaya	"sorry, but we just got out of a fight with a plant monster so please excuse us" "but our fighters are very testy right now"
Drufle (GM)	"Oh lords, were you sent to deal with Topaz' traps?"
Navaya	"I would advise steering clear of them." "yeah...."
Drufle (GM)	"Man, I sure don't pity your position. I heard hell about his place."
Navaya	"we didn't so much deal with them as "take them to the face""
Drufle (GM)	"Ah, yeah, I feel ya. Well take a rest, we're not heading out for a while." "Oh, uh, you should go report to Faxon, probably."
Navaya	"thanks fer your hospitality!"
Rochelle Gwerm	can I try to sense motives?
Drufle (GM)	"Anytime, guys." Uh, sure. Rochelle Gwerm: Rochelle Gwerm : Perception Check 3
Navaya	too grumpy
G'hesh Nhot	where is this guy
Navaya	"aerlin, you wanna come with?"
Drufle (GM)	Which guy, the one who was talking?
Rochelle Gwerm	downstairs most likely
Navaya	"you're better with words than me"
Aerlin	Now then, this guy will have no idea who we are.
G'hesh Nhot	then i go downstairs
Aerlin	But we do possibly know one of his friends.
Navaya	...that's a demon G'hesh Nhot goes down the stairs
Drufle (GM)	Tiefling, actually.
Navaya	is he a nice tiefling?
Aerlin	Our good pal, Hosilla.
Drufle (GM)	A red-skinned man is looking over documents along with two bodyguards.
Rochelle Gwerm	I am betting they're evil of some sort
Drufle (GM)	For, uh, whoever is going downstairs.
Rochelle Gwerm	I assume we all are or at least I'll guard upstairs Rochelle Gwerm stands guard
Navaya	"hey, we're-whoah red guy alert" Faxon turns and sighs at the newcomers.
Faxon	"Alright, cool it, I'm red, yes. What's your report?" Navaya whispers "Aerlin what's our report"
Aerlin	Uhm...
Rochelle Gwerm	either talk about Topaz or Hoshilla
G'hesh Nhot	fight, fight and more fight. report .....boss G'hesh Nhot : Perception Check 11
Navaya	pfft
Drufle (GM)	pffffft
Aerlin	"We checked out the Topaz place, it's been looted."
Faxon	"Bull's horns, really? Already?"
Navaya	"they didn't waste time, that's for sure" "woulda been nice if they'd tried the basement befor us, though"
Aerlin	"Nyserian Manor has also collapsed into nothing."
G'hesh Nhot	dust
Faxon	"So we're all that's left, huh? Expected as much, honestly. Kendro was a moron anyway, and Topaz abandoned his work long ago."
G'hesh Nhot	soo, beer?
Faxon	"Well, toss any treasure you found on the pile and go rest, I've got work to do."
Navaya	"uhh,, sure! ok" Navaya tosses NOTHING
Rochelle Gwerm	this is...interesting what the heck do we do?
Navaya	get murdered in our beds?
Rochelle Gwerm	resting is not the option right now G'hesh Nhot throws some of the rubble from the first building into the pile
Navaya	oh lord Faxon looks confusedly at Nhot and shrugs.
Navaya	just
G'hesh Nhot	i found it
Navaya	is this repressed hoarding behaviour
Rochelle Gwerm	so how are we going to actually...deal with this
Faxon	"Are, uh, are you gonna leave? Anytime soon?"
G'hesh Nhot	he said rest
Rochelle Gwerm	do not fucking rest
Aerlin	Let's go rest for now. I mean, not sleep.
Rochelle Gwerm	we are in enemy territory
Navaya	yeah let's take 5 G'hesh Nhot goes upstairs
Rochelle Gwerm	is there a peaceful solution to this?
Aerlin	"So...what job have you guys been saddled with?"
Drufle (GM)	"Man, I kinda wish I knew. We're just here to collect information and wait for, uh, Minagho? I think that's her name." G'hesh Nhot joins the groop, again
Aerlin	"They always keep us in the dark. Pretty frustrating." Rochelle Gwerm feels like something is going to go wrong soon Navaya:
Navaya	Stealth Check20 G'hesh Nhot prepares her sword arm
Aerlin	(We have invis potions.) Navaya slips Daha back down the stairwell
Navaya	"go listen for me, buddy"
Drufle (GM)	Luckily for you, weasels are apparently silent anyway.
Navaya	cool
G'hesh Nhot	beer?
Faxon	"Wasn't really expecting reinforcements so soon, but I can't really complain."
Rochelle Gwerm	sneaky weasels
Faxon	"Weird reinforcements though, aren't they? I mean, only two of them even slightly looked like humans."
Aerlin	Mate you're read G'hesh Nhot gives Rochelle the should we kill them look
Aerlin	red*
Drufle (GM)	"Yeah, but you know the Worldwound, there's all kinds of nasty monsters out there." Rochelle Gwerm gives the 'not yet' look
Faxon	"I suppose so, yeah. Man, I wish we were stationed at the Garrison instead, you know? Probably way more action there than just information handling." "And with the shard there, who knows what important people might show up!"
G'hesh Nhot	? Daha aṭē perks up
Drufle (GM)	"Yeah, it is really annoying having to wait around for the Big Lady in charge to show up." G'hesh Nhot gives the wtf look
Drufle (GM)	"Hey, what do you think they're doing with the shard, anyway?"
Rochelle Gwerm	Nhot, only Navaya can hear any of this Faxon moves in and motions the guards to come closer.
Rochelle Gwerm	uh oh
Aerlin	what if instead of this they were just talking about the new game of thrones or something
G'hesh Nhot	it was about the not yet look
Rochelle Gwerm	does the weasel have super hearing?
G'hesh Nhot	lag
Rochelle Gwerm	information is more important
Faxon	"I've heard they're using some kind of crazy crystal, taken from the Abyss itself. They're taking it to the shard."
Rochelle Gwerm	Rochelle is getting a bit antsy herself
Faxon	"Don't know what exactly they're doing, but combining big rocks with that much power has to do something important."
G'hesh Nhot	weve had harry potter meets game of thrones tonight
Drufle (GM)	Faxon stands back up and goes back to working on papers. Daha aṭē hops back up the stairs G'hesh Nhot waits for the signal
Daha aṭē	and whispers into Navi's ear all he's heard
Navaya	"well shit me"
G'hesh Nhot	?
Aerlin	Aerlin hears this too because she can speak Weasel.
Navaya	liar!
Rochelle Gwerm	I think we need time to discuss this
Aerlin	It's on my sheet.
Drufle (GM)	It's a good thing Aerlin speaks Weasel, because Navaya can't actually hear any of it.
Navaya	..well alright then
Drufle (GM)	You can't speak with your familiar until level 5.
G'hesh Nhot	lol
Rochelle Gwerm	so...we learned nothing?
Drufle (GM)	No, Aerlin did.
Rochelle Gwerm	wait was that a serious statement?
Drufle (GM)	Because she literally has Weasel written down as a language.
Aerlin	I'm dying
Navaya	drufle if I can _commune_ with my familiar then why the hell can't he talk to me G'hesh Nhot now?
Rochelle Gwerm	wha...
Drufle (GM)	You have an empathic bond! Daha can express basic emotions to you. Navaya is just
Drufle (GM)	But no concrete statements until level 5.
Navaya	heartbroken
Drufle (GM)	I only let you do this because I knew at least Aerlin would be able to interpret.
Aerlin	I'll have to teach you.
Navaya	"but, he's MYYY friend!!" G'hesh Nhot gets closer to the guard on the top
Rochelle Gwerm	I'm reeling Navaya is actually tearing up
Rochelle Gwerm	this is actually happening Daha aṭē is just nonplussed G'hesh Nhot now?
Rochelle Gwerm	"It uh...sounds like we could use some air"
Aerlin	Hmm. We could take our leave, now?
Drufle (GM)	"Yeah, I feel you. Go take a break outside, it's so stuffy in here."
Navaya	"welp, I think that's a good enough rest!"
G'hesh Nhot	AIR Rochelle Gwerm slips outside
Rochelle Gwerm	"right so..." "what is even going on?" G'hesh Nhot walk out regretting not killing him
Navaya	you'll get plenty of chances later
Aerlin	Who wants to set the building on fire?
Drufle (GM)	The, uh, stone building?
Aerlin	Oh right its a tower isnt it.
G'hesh Nhot	smash?
Rochelle Gwerm	"uhh...I don't think stone burns very well" "just a hunch"
Navaya	"so by "big lady" do they mean like, a demon queen or somethin?"
Aerlin	That's probably not very Neutral Good anyway.
Navaya	it IS chaotic good though!
Rochelle Gwerm	"hrm..."
G'hesh Nhot	they bad people
Navaya	sadly I am literally unable to use fire magic ever
Aerlin	There were some names, anything I might have heard of?
Rochelle Gwerm	"I kinda want to just bust some heads"
Drufle (GM)	Minagho you have not heard of, I think. You know the name Areelu Vorlesh, right?
Aerlin	How a Weasel tells me a name I am unsure of but.
G'hesh Nhot	stone, in fort
Rochelle Gwerm	Vorlesh we know
Drufle (GM)	You know one of those two names.
G'hesh Nhot	sounds bad
Drufle (GM)	How about this.
Aerlin	Vorlesh is in the note.

Rochelle Gwerm	"Whatever you've got planned, I'm a-okay with it"
G'hesh Nhot	did i get it?
Drufle (GM)	If only we had a divine caster capable of casting detect evil...... Oh yeah, that brick is gone.

G'hesh Nhot	FORT
Navaya	"hahah! I don't even know what I'm doing, but I'm havin' fun!"
Aerlin	"We should leave, there may be others coming here soon."
Drufle (GM)	You could start digging, if you really wanted the Loot.
Navaya	no because Faxon will have survived
Rochelle Gwerm	I'd assume they'd be there still
Navaya	and he will just erupt from the rubble absolutely livid
Drufle (GM)	Look at the map of the first floor.
Navaya	with all the powers of hell
Drufle (GM)	Does that look like a ground floor stable enough to hold an entire ceiling of stone and iron?
Rochelle Gwerm	I don't even know what the ground is made of
Navaya	well I wasn't saying the basement would have survived
G'hesh Nhot	"what is powerful stone
Rochelle Gwerm	is there a visible pit?
Navaya	I meant he just tanked the collapse like a badass
Drufle (GM)	Oh. Well, I can roll for that.
Navaya	please no

Drufle (GM)	Anyway, with that, uh, absurd series of events, I guess I can just give you the loot?
Rochelle Gwerm	sure sounds good
Drufle (GM)	you see a surprisingly not-smashed tower.
Rochelle Gwerm	throw it into the treasure bag and we can dole it out
Aerlin	if you give us any potions
Navaya	prefab stone walls just lean them on each other
Drufle (GM)	What's that, more potions?
Aerlin	like, how tough are these bottles
Drufle (GM)	Oh, good point.
Rochelle Gwerm	ohhhh those probably didn't live
Drufle (GM)	Wow, there's actually no potions in this loot anyway. What the hell, tower.
Rochelle Gwerm	oh good
Navaya	fortuitous!
Rochelle Gwerm	we have too many invis potions already
G'hesh Nhot	glass bottles and heavy shit =
Drufle (GM)	Anyway, on Faxon's very smashed corpse...
Navaya	"eugh"
Drufle (GM)	He has a wand of CMW +5 with 9 charges.
G'hesh Nhot	yum
Rochelle Gwerm	well then that's convenient
Navaya	"hey Aerlin you want that?"
Aerlin	"Bah, copycat." "Sure."
Drufle (GM)	A morningstar, a heavy crossbow...
Rochelle Gwerm	are any of them Large sized?
Drufle (GM)	And a bunch of magic items that no longer exist because of ABP. Of course they aren't, he's medium.
Rochelle Gwerm	dang
Navaya	ok what is this ABP you speak of
G'hesh Nhot	ABP? beef please
Rochelle Gwerm	Automatic Bonus Progression?
Drufle (GM)	Yeah.
Navaya	yeah I made that joke Sam ' 3'
Drufle (GM)	It's the free stats and buffs you get every level.
G'hesh Nhot	lag!
Drufle (GM)	Instead of having to waste slots on objectively good magic items.
Navaya	not lag
Rochelle Gwerm	in exchange, all items that just give +2 int or whatever is gone
Navaya	I did it days ago don' worry
Drufle (GM)	Anyway, so that's all on him, but in that other room you guys never saw...
G'hesh Nhot	? what room
Drufle (GM)	There's actually what appears to be a shrine to Baphomet.
Rochelle Gwerm	is it still intact?
Drufle (GM)	Well, not really.
Navaya	for a second I was afair you'd say "hostages" Rochelle Gwerm smashes the shrine more anyways
G'hesh Nhot	can i deficate on it Rochelle Gwerm: Rochelle Gwerm : Strength
Check: 24
Drufle (GM)	There's a big ol' chest to the left, and a large brazen bull head sitting on the floor.
Navaya	no! this is a sanitary campaigh
Drufle (GM)	The chest is also totally smashed open. So much for that lock. So, uh, wow, cash.
Navaya	inspect the contents!
Rochelle Gwerm	I'd have smashed it anyways
G'hesh Nhot	roof v lock
Drufle (GM)	Oh don't worry, I think Topaz's shop is literally the only time in the entire campaign they're enough of a dick to put poison on loot.
Rochelle Gwerm	it wasn't strong enough anyways
Navaya	let's find topaz next and feed him his own trap paste
Drufle (GM)	Which is good, because that poison is SO nasty. G'hesh Nhot hates poison
Rochelle Gwerm	I'll believe it when it works
Drufle (GM)	2 Dex damage every minute for 6 minutes.
Navaya	oof
Rochelle Gwerm	oh
G'hesh Nhot	ouch
Rochelle Gwerm	that would actually kill Rochelle or immobilize her
Drufle (GM)	The reason most poisons have such low saves is that they are very, VERY dangerous.
Aerlin	thank heck for restoration
Navaya	yeah dex doesn't kill you con damage does
Drufle (GM)	Only CON and STR do, I think. Definitely con, I can never remember if STR does. Anyways, loot!
Rochelle Gwerm	thank you kindly assuming any of it survived ABP
Drufle (GM)	There's a ton of terrible coins in here, so I'm just gonna call it like 300 gp.
Rochelle Gwerm	:/
Navaya	terrible, despicable coins
Drufle (GM)	Five silver holy symbols of Iomedae worth a total of 125 gp... A masterwork longsword which is actually an upgrade for Nhot... 400 gp in various silverware...
G'hesh Nhot	ooooooh
Rochelle Gwerm	obviously there is nothing of large size in here there never is...
Navaya	I think there never will be
Drufle (GM)	A wand of bless weapon with 18 charges...
Navaya	wrong campaign I'll take that
Drufle (GM)	And probably the most interesting thing here, a phylactery of faithfulness.
Rochelle Gwerm	??? the heck does that do?
Navaya	Good Liches???
Drufle (GM)	I mean, I say interesting. It's a headband slot item. Rochelle Gwerm picks up the phylactery
Rochelle Gwerm	"Uhhh"
Drufle (GM)	While you're wearing it, you are informed every time you do something that might change your alignment. It's only really good for divine classes. Makes sure they don't lose literally all of their powers.
Navaya	give it to red
Drufle (GM)	Obviously. Rochelle Gwerm shrugs and slaps it onto Red's forehead
Drufle (GM)	There's also a giant pile of paper, with lots of information about various Templar movements and locations.
Rochelle Gwerm	take it all Navaya has a read
Rochelle Gwerm	we'll need it
Aerlin	"ow." says Red
Drufle (GM)	It says that this attack was several years in the making, and there were many Templars already in the city. And one more thing... Did that work?
G'hesh Nhot	what does my sword do
Rochelle Gwerm	oh
Drufle (GM)	It gives you an extra +1 to hit.
Rochelle Gwerm	shit this is bad
Navaya	ys it did Rochelle Gwerm reads that note
Drufle (GM)	I'll enter it on the sheet, if you can't.
Navaya	"Tolc in heaven..."
Rochelle Gwerm	"Uhhh...that sounds bad"
G'hesh Nhot	thanks
Rochelle Gwerm	"Like...really bad"
Navaya	"they're gonna turn the wardstones into... demon stones!"
Rochelle Gwerm	"exceedingly bad"
Aerlin	"They contain great power. If they were to take that for their own..."
Rochelle Gwerm	"We need to go, now"
Navaya	"like, yesterday!"
Aerlin	"Yes, let's return to the others." Rochelle Gwerm puts everything in her backpack and GOES
Drufle (GM)	Excellent!
Rochelle Gwerm	by base speed is 40 lets goooooooo G'hesh Nhot follows holding her new sword
Rochelle Gwerm	also Drufle you scare me sometimes
Drufle (GM)	With what?
Rochelle Gwerm	it feels like there is Something Planned every time you make some exclamation of joy
Drufle (GM)	pffft That is a GM thing, yeah.
Rochelle Gwerm	I feel better now
Drufle (GM)	So we return to Defender's Heart. I assume we're just going to tell Irabeth everything you found?
Rochelle Gwerm	yes there are dents in the floor with how fast Rochelle is running Irabeth Tirablade looks over the note gravely, and slowly nods.
Irabeth Tirablade	"It's as we feared. They are going to reverse the wardstone fields..." "Well then, you've all done incredible work for this city, and for the crusade as a whole. I'll see to it that you're properly compensated." "Once you're ready, I think it's time we talk with my friend."
Rochelle Gwerm	I take it we've hit the level up point this session?
Drufle (GM)	You have!
Aerlin	"If it helps us stop them from doing any more damage, I'm more than ready.
Drufle (GM)	And I think we also have hit the end of the session. So, uh, sorry I made you do all that work in advance.
Aerlin	Doot doo doooo.
Drufle (GM)	But you can level up so quickly now!
Rochelle Gwerm	rolling 1d10( 9 ) = 9
Aerlin	bed
Rochelle Gwerm	AHAHAHAHA
Drufle (GM)	Oh, and uh. Everyone throw another 1000 gp on your pile.
G'hesh Nhot	rolling 1d10( 4 ) = 4 oh
Aerlin	Each?
Drufle (GM)	For clearing out all the known safehouses in Kenabres and retrieving valuable information. Yeah, each.
Aerlin	sick
Drufle (GM)	Nhot, your level is very easy. Your feat is just going to be the one we picked out earlier, the one that lets you intimidate everyone nearby.
Rochelle Gwerm	can I apply the armor boost to my buckler?
Drufle (GM)	You can!
Rochelle Gwerm	alright
Drufle (GM)	Any armor or shield.
Rochelle Gwerm	I feel like that is the least likely item to be swapped hey can I get more rage rounds out of favored class?
Drufle (GM)	So Nhot, you get +1 to a weapon and +1 to armor.
Navaya	rolling 1d6( 1 ) = 1 AUGHHHHH
Drufle (GM)	ohhhh Navaya, please.
Navaya	I am cursed to be the tiniest
Drufle (GM)	Just, just pretend that's a 3.
Navaya	okayy
Drufle (GM)	For the love of Iomedae.
G'hesh Nhot	well i have 1 weapon lol
Drufle (GM)	Yeah, so I'll make your sword +1, and do you want to give your shield or armor +1?
G'hesh Nhot	and i want to know if i can have fire breath on the next one
Drufle (GM)	Oh and to Noven's earlier question, yes you can. 1 round per FC.
