Seishi Honekawa:

Seishi Honekawa:

The Drufle:

Ezra:

The Drufle:

The Drufle:

The Drufle:

i dunno

The Drufle:

do you guys want to do some talking or get right down to shinies?

Ezra:

i think we should have hina stop for resting

Ezra:

but we're too awake for sleep

Seishi Honekawa:

oh hey you can throw three shuriken per attack

Seishi Honekawa:

but i need a better source than a forum post

Ezra:

isn't that a special ability

Ezra:

i think thats a ninja trick

Ezra:

our characters are talking about this yes

The Drufle:

if youre legitimately speaking then quotes

Ezra:

have we started im confused

Seishi Honekawa:

what if we're just controlling actors

The Drufle:

Sure, let's start.

The Drufle:

I think I'm about ready anyway.

Seishi Honekawa:

and this is what they do before scenes happen

The Drufle:

So, the wagon is currently continuing its path to Majri's location.

The Drufle:

Hina is busy runnning the gemsteeds, Brass is meditating behind some boxes, and Veilwar has fallen asleep on top of some scrolls.

The Drufle:

Oret and Urtar are simply floating about, keeping an eye on the newcomers.

Ezra:

I'm just staring out the window here.

Ezra:

Look at all this nothing!

Ezra:

Beautiful

The Drufle:

Actually, you are starting to see some things.

Seishi Honekawa:

I'm staring at Tekton, waiting for him to die.

The Drufle:

It isn't just total desert anymore.

Seishi Honekawa:

it's a resort

The Drufle:

Here and there you see large spires of stone, piercing upwards from the landscape.

Seishi Honekawa:

pool episooode

Ezra:

That's all well and good but what's the Duck doing?!

The Drufle:

Hina is trying her best to avoid them.

The Drufle:

The duck?

Seishi Honekawa:

eating tekton

The Drufle:

Standing by Tekton.

Ezra:

noooo

The Drufle:

Not sure what else he would be doing.

The Drufle:

So at the moment, the wagon is just deftly passing between spires.

Ezra:

Are these spires the same rock as the ground?

The Drufle:

Well, the ground is sand.

The Drufle:

So no.

The Drufle:

Unless you mean obsidian or the fire rock from before.

The Drufle:

The spires are neither of those.

The Drufle:

They look much earthier.

The Drufle:

Otherwise, not too interesting.

The Drufle:

The sky is starting to open up as well.

The Drufle:

Less ominous blackish clouds, more reddish sky.

Ezra:

I guess red sky is less bad than black clouds.

The Drufle:

Marginally, yes.

The Drufle:

Also neither of you want to draw any cards, right?

Ezra:

Seishi doesn't even know about them, right?

Seishi Honekawa:

there i updated

Seishi Honekawa:

Perception Check At-Will • Wis Roll: (GM Only) « d20 + Perception + WisBonus = 17 + 2 + 3 = 22 »

Seishi Honekawa:

hell no

The Drufle:

Brass has left the deck on one of the crates.

Seishi Honekawa:

seishi probably doesnt even know about the cards

The Drufle:

What are you looking for/

The Drufle:

?

Seishi Honekawa:

just looking at thing

Seishi Honekawa:

outside

Seishi Honekawa:

maybe i notice details

The Drufle:

Well, the spires do seem to be getting taller as you close in on the coast.

The Drufle:

Either that, or you're getting lower.

The Drufle:

You can't really tell.

The Drufle:

Also, the sky is just kinda red.

Seishi Honekawa:

do they look like

Seishi Honekawa:

penises

The Drufle:

No.

Seishi Honekawa:

D:

The Drufle:

Not in the least.

Seishi Honekawa:

good

The Drufle:

They are more like very narrow ice cream cones.

The Drufle:

With lots of spikes.

Seishi Honekawa:

"Do you know what those are, ninja?"

Ezra:

"I dunno, spikes?"

Ezra:

"No idea where they might have come from."

Ezra:

Man, Hina's a good driver.

Seishi Honekawa:

oh they're right there

The Drufle:

Well, the gemsteeds are doing most of the work.

Seishi Honekawa:

how tall are the cones

The Drufle:

The wagon seems to almost hit the spires constantly, but then just goes through them.

The Drufle:

How tall?

The Drufle:

They are a lot of heights.

Seishi Honekawa:

"Should we take a closer look?"

The Drufle:

Some are barely a few feet high, and the largest are probably close to 50 feet.

Seishi Honekawa:

wait are we still moving maybe we should stop before we get wrecked

Ezra:

"Maybe we should make camp. Hina's looking pretty tired anyway."

The Drufle:

You are still moving, yes.

The Drufle:

Do you want to stop the wagon?

Ezra:

yesh

The Drufle:

Alright.

Ezra:

does Duck get a vote

The Drufle:

No.

Jikai:

stop the wagon quack

The Drufle:

Hina stops the gemsteeds near a slight opening between the spires.

Ezra:

NO ONES LISTENING TO YOU

Jikai:

i sound like morgan freeman by the way

The Drufle:

It's relatively large, room enough for the wagon to comfortably fit.

The Drufle:

Hina, tired from trying to pull giant rock horses, heads to the side of the wagon and sits by some boxes.

Ezra:

I'll exit the wagon.

Seishi Honekawa:

team blackbirds

The Drufle:

The land outside is actually unusually cool.

Seishi Honekawa:

"Where are you going?"

The Drufle:

Compared to the awful lava lands of earlier at least.

Ezra:

"I'm not that tired, I'm going to look around a little."

Ezra:

"You joining me?"

Seishi Honekawa:

"Yes."

Seishi Honekawa:

duck sits on hina's lap

Seishi Honekawa:

because it's a huge pervert

Ezra:

I think the genies would also like to look around!

The Drufle:

Alright, the zhyens shall accompany you.

The Drufle:

They seem a bit worried, but stay close to Ezra.

Seishi Honekawa:

team blackbirds flying off at the speed of swallow

Seishi Honekawa:

surrender now or prepare to... swallow

Seishi Honekawa:

zhyen that's right

The Drufle:

Nope.

The Drufle:

Absolutely not right.

The Drufle:

Are you examining the spires?

Ezra:

"This place often has things from another place just lying around. Maybe these spires have the same origin?"

Seishi Honekawa:

lessee

Ezra:

Yeah sure I'll look at them

Seishi Honekawa:

Knowledge Planes Check At-Will • Int Roll: (GM Only) « d20 + KnowledgePlanes + IntBonus = 6 + 4 + 1 = 11 »

The Drufle:

Seishi thinks these spires are from another plane!

Seishi Honekawa:

is she right????

The Drufle:

Very observant, Seishi.

The Drufle:

Is she right????

The Drufle:

You tell me.

Seishi Honekawa:

"I think these spires are from another plane!"

Seishi Honekawa:

"Maybe."

Ezra:

"That wouldn't be suprising."

Ezra:

"But they don't seem that interesting anyway."

Seishi Honekawa:

"perhaps from the plane of earth"

Seishi Honekawa:

"or some other place with strange geology"

The Drufle:

The zhyen seem rather perplexed by the spires, really.

Ezra:

"I've heard there's a plane made of cake."

The Drufle:

They float by one of the larger ones, whispering to each other.

The Drufle:

You cannot hear what they are saying.

Seishi Honekawa:

Perception Check At-Will • Wis Roll: (GM Only) « d20 + Perception + WisBonus = 11 + 2 + 3 = 16 »

Seishi Honekawa:

let

Seishi Honekawa:

The Drufle:

They are not speaking in Common.

Seishi Honekawa:

fuck

Seishi Honekawa:

Linguistics Check At-Will • Int Roll: (GM Only) « d20 + Linguistics + IntBonus = 16 + 8 + 1 = 25 »

The Drufle:

They are speaking in Terran, but you don't know Terran.

Ezra:

"Hey, guys, what do you think?"

Seishi Honekawa:

i only have 5 languages

Seishi Honekawa:

oh come on eavesdropping is funner

Seishi Honekawa:

jk

Oret:

"These are ancient towers of the earthen plane, master."

Oret:

"We recognize them from our time there."

Seishi Honekawa:

woop woop

Urtar:

"Indeed, I would not have expected them to end up here."

Ezra:

"This place is like the world's rubbish dump."

Oret:

"I do not believe these are here on purpose, sir."

Ezra:

I wonder if the mask is doing anything.

Seishi Honekawa:

"Do you think someone... put them here?"

Seishi Honekawa:

"Conjured from the other plane?"

Oret:

"No, sir."

Seishi Honekawa:

how to words

The Drufle:

Ezra: the mask doesn't seem to be doing anything.

Seishi Honekawa:

i am offndd at that misgnedering

The Drufle:

It still feels really freaking magical though.

The Drufle:

The zhyen have no concept of gender, Seishi.

Ezra:

Man this thing better not be radioactive

The Drufle:

They will call you whatever they want.

The Drufle:

Ezra: well, you aren't dying are you?

Ezra:

You never know if you are really

Ezra:

I was pregnant for like 3 sessions

Ezra:

I'll get the duck to hold it maybe

The Drufle:

Really?

The Drufle:

You're going to give the arcane mask to a duck?

Ezra:

of course not!

Seishi Honekawa:

no it might turn evil

Ezra:

that would be...silly

Ezra:

ducks can't even wear masks

Ezra:

they shouldn't be holding any

Ezra:

no business doing that

Ezra:

"Let's make a little campfire."

The Drufle:

Fire is good.

The Drufle:

There's a lot of it, too.

Seishi Honekawa:

why am i on tumblr

The Drufle:

Also Ezra: you aren't actually wearing the mask, are you?

Ezra:

well *i've* got a flint and steel

Ezra:

no no

The Drufle:

Alright, just checking.

Seishi Honekawa:

how about wood

Ezra:

i bet i'd become a demon or somethin

Seishi Honekawa:

there's no wood

Ezra:

yes there IS

The Drufle:

Where is wood, Ezra?

Seishi Honekawa:

show me your wood

Ezra:

okay so there's no wood

Ezra:

lets go take veil's fire thing

The Drufle:

?

The Drufle:

His fires?

Ezra:

his fire jug

Ezra:

the fire one

The Drufle:

That doesn't change that you have no fuel.

Seishi Honekawa:

yes steal from the crazy person

Seishi Honekawa:

great idea

The Drufle:

Although it's magic fire, it still needs something to burn.

Ezra:

Well hey the fire is hot by itself

Ezra:

how's it sitting in a jug then!

Seishi Honekawa:

burn some scrolls

Seishi Honekawa:

hahahaho

Seishi Honekawa:

no

Ezra:

okay ummm

Seishi Honekawa:

"Maybe there's a spell for magic fire in here"

Ezra:

maybe there's firewood behind this spire????

Seishi Honekawa:

*there

Ezra:

nope

Ezra:

this is the shittiest campfire

The Drufle:

The fire stays in the jug because they are enchanted.

The Drufle:

You don't follow magic very well, do you.

Ezra:

well then we can just put the jug on the floor and stare at it

Seishi Honekawa:

http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic-items/wondrous-items/wondrous-items/a-b/bead-campfire

The Drufle:

So you're going to go steal the fire jug from Veilwar?

Ezra:

Just for a little bit

Ezra:

he won't mind

Ezra:

Will he??

The Drufle:

Well, at the moment, he's asleep.

The Drufle:

Also weren't the fires in his hat?

* Ezra rolls: 1d20+12 => 15 + 12 = 27

Seishi Honekawa:

why is ezra so obsessed with campfires

Ezra:

Sleight of Hand should work yes

Seishi Honekawa:

steal cm can work too

The Drufle:

Well, alright.

The Drufle:

You gank the red fire from Veilwar's pouch.

Ezra:

Steal CM?

The Drufle:

He does not notice.

Ezra:

oh right nvm

Seishi Honekawa:

there's a feat that allows you to use dex for combat maneuvers btw

Ezra:

"Okay there!"

Ezra:

"Realistic approximation of a lovely campfire."

Ezra:

"Just like home."

The Drufle:

Yeah, close enough.

The Drufle:

There, fire in a jar.

Seishi Honekawa:

what time is it

Seishi Honekawa:

Survival Check At-Will • Wis Roll: (GM Only) « d20 + Survival + WisBonus = 4 + 0 + 3 = 7 »

The Drufle:

Is that a roll to check the time?

Seishi Honekawa:

i would die if it's like

Seishi Honekawa:

noon or something

The Drufle:

It's late afternoon at the moment.

Seishi Honekawa:

i just look at the sun and guess

The Drufle:

The sun is nearing the horizon.

Seishi Honekawa:

oh ok that's acceptable

Seishi Honekawa:

campfire at noon

Ezra:

my survival roll is -1 but i can tell the time damnit

The Drufle:

Campfire at noon would be kinda weird.

Ezra:

or can i

* Ezra rolls: 1d20-1 => 13 - 1 = 12

The Drufle:

Do you want an exact time?

The Drufle:

Because you aren't getting one.

Ezra:

im checking if *I* can tell the time

The Drufle:

It is past noon.

The Drufle:

That is all you know.

Ezra:

"I can...tell the time."

Seishi Honekawa:

"What do we do?"

Ezra:

"We tell spooky stories."

Ezra:

"I heard, somewhere, there's a forest, made entirely of dicks."

Seishi Honekawa:

"dicks?"

Seishi Honekawa:

Linguistics Check At-Will • Int Roll: (GM Only) « d20 + Linguistics + IntBonus = 16 + 8 + 1 = 25 »

The Drufle:

A dick is a fairly crude term for a penis, Seishi.

The Drufle:

How culturally insensitive of you.

Seishi Honekawa:

thank you

Ezra:

"The work of a creepy wizard, I'd guess."

Ezra:

"Probably single."

Seishi Honekawa:

"That wizard must be a disturbed individual."

Seishi Honekawa:

"Or rather, a *disturbing* individual."

Ezra:

"I'd never want to meet him anyway."

The Drufle:

SUDDENLY

Seishi Honekawa:

same

The Drufle:

One of the nearby spires cracks.

Seishi Honekawa:

ack

Seishi Honekawa:

Perception Check At-Will • Wis Roll: (GM Only) « d20 + Perception + WisBonus = 20 + 2 + 3 = 25 »

The Drufle:

Are you looking for something?

Seishi Honekawa:

"CAW CAW run awaaaaay"

Ezra:

"Eh?"

Seishi Honekawa:

well I *was* gonna ask whcih one was breaking

The Drufle:

The spire splits down the middle with a thundrous clap, and the two sides fall to the ground in pieces.

Seishi Honekawa:

what if the cones are eggs

Seishi Honekawa:

D:

Seishi Honekawa:

"What is happening?!"

The Drufle:

Is Ezra going to look in the crack?

Ezra:

From a distance yes

Seishi Honekawa:

look down the crack, ezra

The Drufle:

Make a perception check.

* Ezra rolls: 1d20+4 => 14 + 4 = 18

The Drufle:

Inside the broken spire is a wooden chest with iron reinforcing.

Seishi Honekawa:

"Does this happen often on the Plane of Earth, stonelings?"

Seishi Honekawa:

stonelings

Ezra:

"Um..."

Seishi Honekawa:

420 genie lyf

Urtar:

"No!"

Ezra:

"Is that a chest?"

Seishi Honekawa:

"A chest?"

Ezra:

"Looks like it."

Seishi Honekawa:

"Can you reach it?"

Ezra:

yeah sure

The Drufle:

(You can)

Ezra:

Let's drag it out.

The Drufle:

Make a strength check.

The Drufle:

The chest is fairly heavy.

* Ezra rolls: 1d20+1 => 7 + 1 = 8

Ezra:

"Ngh!"

The Drufle:

It does not budge.

Ezra:

"It's really heavy. Give me a hand here."

Seishi Honekawa:

"Let me...?"

The Drufle:

Just make another STR check.

Seishi Honekawa:

« 1d20+1 = 17 + 1 = 18 »

* Ezra rolls: 1d20+1 => 14 + 1 = 15

The Drufle:

Alright, that's good enough.

The Drufle:

Not by much, but sure.

Seishi Honekawa:

« 1d20+1 = 5 + 1 = 6 »

Seishi Honekawa:

amazing

Ezra:

"Got it."

The Drufle:

You drag the chest out of the broken spire and heave it onto the ground.

Seishi Honekawa:

i was gonna use a series of pulleys after that

The Drufle:

It's a very well-made chest.

Ezra:

Let's open it up.

Seishi Honekawa:

is it locked

The Drufle:

It is not locked.

The Drufle:

You can just flip up the lid.

Seishi Honekawa:

oh that's nice

Ezra:

I could unlock a locked chest anyway right

Seishi Honekawa:

"What's in the box?..."

Ezra:

its your wifes head

The Drufle:

Badumtish.

The Drufle:

Alright, no.

The Drufle:

In the box are 8 objects.

Seishi Honekawa:

it's your moms head

The Drufle:

Alright, let me go down the line.

Seishi Honekawa:

Perception Check At-Will • Wis Roll: (GM Only) « d20 + Perception + WisBonus = 11 + 2 + 3 = 16 »

Ezra:

are you implying her head is 8 objects worth

The Drufle:

Perception for?

Ezra:

perception can do anything at all

The Drufle:

I need to know what though.

Ezra:

stealth is really just about -perception-

Seishi Honekawa:

perception can revive the dead i think

Ezra:

yeah just look for its soul

Seishi Honekawa:

i just look at the things

The Drufle:

Alright, first up.

The Drufle:

There is a white cotton cord that has been fashioned into a belt.

The Drufle:

There is a glittering golden ring with arcane runes on it.

Seishi Honekawa:

dibs on all of it

Ezra:

okay yes i agree fully

Ezra:

with that

The Drufle:

There is a well-forged sword, some kind of eastern weapon.

Seishi Honekawa:

:D

The Drufle:

There is a leather ring with various bits of fur and barbs in it.

The Drufle:

There is an exceptionally odd object that looks like a potpourri ball made of feathers, scales, and insect chitin.

Seishi Honekawa:

ew

Ezra:

"Eugh."

The Drufle:

There is a roundish shield covered in rotting gray skin.

Ezra:

"I don't like this chest."

The Drufle:

And finally, a pair of beautiful silken slippers.

Seishi Honekawa:

"What the heck is that thing"

The Drufle:

Oh, wait.

The Drufle:

There is also a gleaming chainmail shirt.

The Drufle:

Almost missed that.

Seishi Honekawa:

"These look like magical artifacts."

Ezra:

it was in the back

The Drufle:

So, 8 things total.

Seishi Honekawa:

let's cast Detect Magic on it

Ezra:

Can I roll Appraise?

The Drufle:

One roll per item.

The Drufle:

I'm not giving you a communal roll.

Ezra:

We'll go in order, then.

The Drufle:

First then, the cotton belt.

* Ezra rolls: 1d20+6 => 18 + 6 = 24

Seishi Honekawa:

lets sell these on cragslist

Seishi Honekawa:

crag is an orc

The Drufle:

It appears to have some form of magical properties, and is made specifically for acrobats.

The Drufle:

Next, the golden ring.

* Ezra rolls: 1d20+6 => 15 + 6 = 21

The Drufle:

It also has some magic properties, likely pertaining to spells specifically.

The Drufle:

Then, the sword.

* Ezra rolls: 1d20+6 => 15 + 6 = 21

The Drufle:

Geez man.

Seishi Honekawa:

amazong

The Drufle:

The sword is a beautifully crafted wakizashi, made with reinforced buckling on the grip.

Seishi Honekawa:

:DDDD

The Drufle:

Specifically, it has the defending property.

The Drufle:

But I can explain that later.

The Drufle:

Next, the fur and barb-covered leather ring.

* Ezra rolls: 1d20+6 => 1 + 6 = 7

The Drufle:

RING

Ezra:

Ezra explodes

Seishi Honekawa:

i'll do a more thorough identifying with detect magic and spellcraft checks

The Drufle:

BOOTyFUL RING

Seishi Honekawa:

its a nipple rign

The Drufle:

Next, the horrible amalgamation of scales and stuff.

* Ezra rolls: 1d20+6 => 20 + 6 = 26

Seishi Honekawa:

good job

The Drufle:

Wow.

The Drufle:

Ok, I'll just tell you everything then.

Seishi Honekawa:

no thats me

Ezra:

who took the diamonds

The Drufle:

This horrible ball of junk is actually infused with some sort of air magic.

Seishi Honekawa:

i do that

The Drufle:

Fine then.

The Drufle:

All Ezra realizes is that this is a very powerful object, in fact.

The Drufle:

Be careful with it.

Ezra:

"This feels a lot like those air flames from the temple."

Seishi Honekawa:

im the magical girl ugh

The Drufle:

Next, the creepy gray-skin covered shield.

* Ezra rolls: 1d20+6 => 19 + 6 = 25

Ezra:

lovin this tho

The Drufle:

The skin covering the shield is zombie skin.

The Drufle:

Magic zombie skin.

The Drufle:

Then, the slipperse.

The Drufle:

Slippers.

Ezra:

"Eugh, zombies are the worst."

* Ezra rolls: 1d20+6 => 13 + 6 = 19

Ezra:

there thats nice and average

The Drufle:

The slippers seem to be made to make movement easier.

The Drufle:

Finally, the chain shirt.

* Ezra rolls: 1d20+6 => 18 + 6 = 24

The Drufle:

This chain shirt is incredibly made, and is a +2 chainmail shirt.

Seishi Honekawa:

I SPEND 3 ROUNDS TO DETECT ALL THE MAGIC

The Drufle:

And that is everything you can gleam.

Seishi Honekawa:

DAMNIT

The Drufle:

Detect magic then, geez.

Seishi Honekawa:

http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/all-spells/d/detect-magic reference

Ezra:

okay FINE

The Drufle:

So do you just cast it?

Seishi Honekawa:

with this we can tell what they are

Seishi Honekawa:

yes

The Drufle:

No roll?

Ezra:

rolls are for cool ninjas

Seishi Honekawa:

read the spell

The Drufle:

Alright, one sec.

Ezra:

its funny how i potentially would have been unable to identify a wakizashi

Seishi Honekawa:

i can detect the auras

Seishi Honekawa:

and if i spellcraft i can tell what they are and what they do

The Drufle:

Alright then.

The Drufle:

All of the objects save for the wakizashi and the chain shirt are magical.

Seishi Honekawa:

i make 8?

Seishi Honekawa:

in order

Seishi Honekawa:

oh just 6

The Drufle:

Six, yes.

The Drufle:

So first, the cotton belt.

Seishi Honekawa:

Spellcraft Check At-Will • Int Roll: (GM Only) « d20 + Spellcraft + IntBonus = 12 + 7 + 1 = 20 »

Seishi Honekawa:

i roll all natural ones

The Drufle:

This belt will grant its wearer a +4 to acrobatics checks made to pass through threatened squares unharmed.

Seishi Honekawa:

you know what i will cast guidance for every skill check

Seishi Honekawa:

it's a cantrip

Seishi Honekawa:

+1

The Drufle:

Alright.

The Drufle:

Next, the golden ring.

Seishi Honekawa:

Spellcraft Check At-Will • Int Roll: (GM Only) « d20 + Spellcraft + IntBonus = 10 + 7 + 1 = 18 »

Ezra:

lets have each of the zyhen do appraise on each thing first

Seishi Honekawa:

s/cantrip/orison

The Drufle:

The ring seems to be some sort of spell slot holder.

The Drufle:

A fairly weak one, but you think the ring can hold an extra spell for the wearer.

The Drufle:

Next, the leather ring.

Seishi Honekawa:

Spellcraft Check At-Will • Int Roll: (GM Only) « d20 + Spellcraft + IntBonus = 5 + 7 + 1 = 13 »

The Drufle:

The ring seems to be made for rogues and the like, but you can't discern exactly what it does.

The Drufle:

Next, the crazy air ball.

Seishi Honekawa:

Spellcraft Check At-Will • Int Roll: (GM Only) « d20 + Spellcraft + IntBonus = 6 + 7 + 1 = 14 »

The Drufle:

You believe that the ball can be used to summon wind; for what, you aren't sure.

The Drufle:

Next, the zombie shield.

Seishi Honekawa:

this is terrible

Seishi Honekawa:

Spellcraft Check At-Will • Int Roll: (GM Only) « d20 + Spellcraft + IntBonus = 4 + 7 + 1 = 12 »

The Drufle:

The skin on the shield seems to be necromantic in nature- you can't tell what the actual magic does, though.

The Drufle:

Finally, the slippers.

Seishi Honekawa:

NATURAL 1

Seishi Honekawa:

Spellcraft Check At-Will • Int Roll: (GM Only) « d20 + Spellcraft + IntBonus = 12 + 7 + 1 = 20 »

Seishi Honekawa:

streak took all my luck

Ezra:

(it appears sneaky has just shown up)

The Drufle:

These slippers have been enchanted to prevent difficult terrain from messing with the wearer.

Seishi Honekawa:

WELL THEN

The Drufle:

And that's all the items!

The Drufle:

Are you gonna start grabbing stuff, or just move the chest?

Seishi Honekawa:

im gonna grab that shield

Ezra:

i'll take that wakizashi then

Seishi Honekawa:

hide it in my barkpark

Ezra:

"Let's take these into the cart."

Seishi Honekawa:

"Can I kepp this I think I can use this?"

The Drufle:

The chest as well?

The Drufle:

Or are you leaving it there?

Ezra:

I don't think we'd needa chest really

Ezra:

Although it is quite nice

The Drufle:

I should point out that the chest is significantly lighter when empty; the chain shirt and sword were most of the weight.

Seishi Honekawa:

let's carry it

Seishi Honekawa:

we ight need it for disposing of bodies

Ezra:

yeah okay then

Seishi Honekawa:

i mean

Seishi Honekawa:

storing of bodies

Seishi Honekawa:

i mean

Ezra:

let me grab this fire thing first

Ezra:

best put this back

Brass has connected.

Seishi Honekawa:

« 1d20+1 = 10 + 1 = 11 »

The Drufle:

Woo!

* Ezra rolls: 1d20+12 => 7 + 12 = 19

The Drufle:

Right, you put the fire back.

Ezra:

And we got the chest in!

The Drufle:

Correct.

The Drufle:

The wonderful mahogany and iron chest is now sitting in the wagon.

Brass:

Hey. Suckers!

Ezra:

Ooh, mahogany.

Ezra:

Brass suddenly awakes.

The Drufle:

Oh, Brass seems to have woken from his meditation.

Seishi Honekawa:

wow that chest hate mahos

Ezra:

"We found treasure."

Bernard Blackbrass:

"Good Day, Everyone!"

Ezra:

"It was outside, inside one of the spires."

Ezra:

"Weird, right?"

* Bernard Blackbrass looks outside.

* Bernard Blackbrass looks for spires.

The Drufle:

Yeah, you see them.

The Drufle:

I just put fog over the area again.

Ezra:

"The Zhyen said they're from the earth plane."

The Drufle:

They are tall, conical, and made of a fairly earthy rock.

Seishi Honekawa:

"The big one cracked open suddenly."

Seishi Honekawa:

"And that chest was inside"

Bernard Blackbrass:

I still see that shitty temple!!

Ezra:

"A gift from the Gods themselves, one might think."

Bernard Blackbrass:

"What did we win?"

Bernard Blackbrass:

and a duck ' 3'

Ezra:

"Lots of things!"

The Drufle:

Yeah, let me list them again.

The Drufle:

With what you guys know of them.

The Drufle:

There is a cotton belt that makes it easier to move through threatened area.

Bernard Blackbrass:

"Wock wock wock wock quack"

Bernard Blackbrass:

oh shit giant duck

The Drufle:

A golden ring that allows an extra spell slot.

Bernard Blackbrass:

Can I use it?

The Drufle:

A wakizashi that is very well made.

Ezra:

yoinked.

The Drufle:

A leather ring that they only think is made for rogues.

The Drufle:

A weird ball of feathers, scales, and chitin that can summon wind.

Ezra:

it was hard to tell

The Drufle:

For some reason.

The Drufle:

A steel shield covered in necromantic zombie skin.

The Drufle:

Some silk slippers that allow the wearer to ignore difficult terrain.

The Drufle:

And a +2 chainmail shirt.

Bernard Blackbrass:

"Looks like a bunch of crap!"

Seishi Honekawa:

more treasure for the rest

Seishi Honekawa:

:>

Bernard Blackbrass:

All Brass needs are his rocks and his giant axe and everyone else's money.

Bernard Blackbrass:

and the nuke

The Drufle:

Yeah, sure.

The Drufle:

So what do Seishi and Ezra take?

* Bernard Blackbrass triggers Detect Psionics.

Seishi Honekawa:

I take the ring too

Ezra:

I've taken the sword for now

Ezra:

ill let the others have their pick first

The Drufle:

Nothing is psionic, Brass.

Bernard Blackbrass:

Good.

Bernard Blackbrass:

"What's your occupation, Seishi?"

Seishi Honekawa:

"I was a..."

Seishi Honekawa:

temple

Seishi Honekawa:

thingamabob

Ezra:

templar?

Bernard Blackbrass:

Perhaps more to the point is what class you are.

Bernard Blackbrass:

But yes, your past life helps.

Seishi Honekawa:

cleric

Bernard Blackbrass:

Tell him that! (or don't.)

Seishi Honekawa:

"I am a cleric of Yaezhing, GOD OF JUSTICE"

Seishi Honekawa:

(actuall god of murder but dont her that)

Bernard Blackbrass:

"Justice eh? Hey!"

Bernard Blackbrass:

"I think we're gonna be great buds!"

The Drufle:

Justice is good for all!

Ezra:

anyone got religion knowledge

The Drufle:

Also, Hina has fallen asleep by a crate.

Bernard Blackbrass:

All races are equal but some races are more equal than others.

Bernard Blackbrass:

I use my This Might Just Work.

Bernard Blackbrass:

My knowledge of Engineering will somehow give me what I want to know.

The Drufle:

Sure, why not.

Bernard Blackbrass:

Knowledge Engineering Check At-Will • Int Roll: (GM Only) « d20 + KnowledgeEngineering + IntBonus = 10 + 0 + 5 = 15 »

The Drufle:

Does anyone actually have religion knowledge?

Seishi Honekawa:

i do

Bernard Blackbrass:

Knowledge (Psionics) Check At-Will • IntBonus Roll: (GM Only) « d20 + MiscSkill2 = 16 + 9 = 25 »

The Drufle:

Brass: This wagon is made very well.

Bernard Blackbrass:

This is much more effective!

The Drufle:

What are you actually looking for?

Bernard Blackbrass:

I don't know!

The Drufle:

Who Seishi's god is?

Bernard Blackbrass:

I don't know anymore!!!

The Drufle:

Oh, well nevermind then.

Bernard Blackbrass:

someone psioned it out

Bernard Blackbrass:

actually your idea works.

Ezra:

He might know what the temples of that god are like

Seishi Honekawa:

well she technically knows she assisted in assassinations

Ezra:

have they got lovely support beams

Bernard Blackbrass:

Yeah that.

Bernard Blackbrass:

I use my knowledge of support pillars to ascertain the engineers and their likely moral leanings.

The Drufle:

Uhhhhh

The Drufle:

They are probably not nice people.

Seishi Honekawa:

LE

Bernard Blackbrass:

"What kind of justice?"

* Bernard Blackbrass -asks warily-.

Seishi Honekawa:

"The harsh kind."

Ezra:

(i...i want to impersonate that duck)

Jikai:

never

Ezra:

(maybe if im that duck for a moment, i could find inner peace)

Ezra:

(inner duck peace)

Jikai:

by the way brass jikai talks in morgan freeman's voice

The Drufle:

Obviously.

Jikai:

(not really)

Jikai:

try it now

Jikai:

q...quack??

Bernard Blackbrass:

hey no fair

Seishi Honekawa:

hey there are three of us now maybe we can do things

Bernard Blackbrass:

I wanna be the duck now.

Seishi Honekawa:

drufle?

Jikai:

quack

The Drufle:

Do you want to actually do things?

The Drufle:

Do we have time?

Jikai:

quack, no one's leveled up, quack

Bernard Blackbrass:

We could talk about why I am apprehensive to leveling up.

Seishi Honekawa:

one, two hours?

Bernard Blackbrass:

It's a very weighty decision, you see.

The Drufle:

Yeah, Brass has some prestige class issues.

Bernard Blackbrass:

One that will alter how i'd play with all of you.

Jikai:

Speak to me, quack.

Bernard Blackbrass:

Especially in the endgame.

Seishi Honekawa:

is brass a woman

Bernard Blackbrass:

I have the option of going the full 20 levels of Tactician (Amplifier).

Bernard Blackbrass:

At level 6, I can even empower your attacks. Not just the spells either.

Bernard Blackbrass:

(But, if we had a blaster caster who maximizes, yes, I can empower it.)

Bernard Blackbrass:

Or, I can take a few levels of Wizard, then go Cerebremancer.

Bernard Blackbrass:

Anyone remember Tsukiko?

The Drufle:

I do, yes.

Jikai:

quack, the duck doesn't, really remember

Seishi Honekawa:

who

Bernard Blackbrass:

She was a Mystic Theurge.

Bernard Blackbrass:

Arcane/Divine dual progression. Each level, she'd gain +1 arcane and +1 divine.

Bernard Blackbrass:

No other class features, just spells and spells.

Jikai:

i've got theurge, to quack

Bernard Blackbrass:

"I go to bed with more spells than you wake up with."

Jikai:

do you get it seishi

Seishi Honekawa:

fucking spells

Bernard Blackbrass:

Cerebremancer is the Arcane/Psionic version.

Seishi Honekawa:

yes

Jikai:

yes! good

Seishi Honekawa:

10/10 great joke duck

The Drufle:

So super psion, or psion/arcane.

Bernard Blackbrass:

hehe

Bernard Blackbrass:

Super Psion 3

Jikai:

it depends, a super psion sounds like pretty much all support

Seishi Honekawa:

10/10 also great joke

Bernard Blackbrass:

And at level 20 of Tactician Brass can make everyone those.

The Drufle:

Yeah, amplifiers are pretty great at support;

Bernard Blackbrass:

The idea would be to exclusively raise Intelligence

Jikai:

while the other could do fireballs i quack?

Bernard Blackbrass:

if I get it to 30 or so

Bernard Blackbrass:

you all get +30 to everything.

The Drufle:

Yeah, it gets pretty broken.

The Drufle:

Cerebremancer just gets a lot of neat things from both.

Bernard Blackbrass:

No class features, meaning no more upgrades to telepathy.

The Drufle:

Yeah.

Bernard Blackbrass:

But then, wizards don't have too much do they.

Jikai:

well spells are nice i guess

Jikai:

does anyone else even have spells

The Drufle:

How many levels of arcane spells do you gain access to?

The Drufle:

Well, uh.

The Drufle:

Seishi does.

The Drufle:

And Tekton has arcane spells.

Bernard Blackbrass:

And, the PF versions of theurge or cereb have actual features.

Jikai:

i knew that of course

Jikai:

quack

Bernard Blackbrass:

To get into cereb, I need 2nd level spell/power

Bernard Blackbrass:

With tac/wiz, 3 levels in each.

Bernard Blackbrass:

(If you're going wilder/sorcerer, ask me for advice. I will laugh at you.)

Bernard Blackbrass:

(You probably want that.)

Jikai:

can ducks laugh

The Drufle:

No.

The Drufle:

Probably not.

The Drufle:

So, yeah.

The Drufle:

Brass is going to be lvl 3 for a while.

Jikai:

maybe thats why daffy was so grumpy

The Drufle:

Until he decides what he wants to be.

Bernard Blackbrass:

With ten levels of cereb, that's +10/+10

Seishi Honekawa:

be a doctor

Bernard Blackbrass:

At minimum, 13 in both.

Seishi Honekawa:

be an astronaut

Bernard Blackbrass:

So that leaves 4 levels.

Jikai:

canoeist

Bernard Blackbrass:

Even deciding what to do with them makes me uneasy.

Bernard Blackbrass:

Drufle suggests an even split, but I was thinking pour all four into one class to cast Wish.

Seishi Honekawa:

there's always the option of

Seishi Honekawa:

replacement chracter

Bernard Blackbrass:

You don't want to see my replacement character.

Bernard Blackbrass:

You really fucking don't.

Jikai:

we should stop replacing our friends with new ones

The Drufle:

Probably true.

Bernard Blackbrass:

It is a finished concept and it is pretty much "gg drufle".

Jikai:

drufle thats a challenge quack

Seishi Honekawa:

hmm yes

The Drufle:

Soooooo

The Drufle:

Should we do something or wait until Brass makes a decision?

Bernard Blackbrass:

We can still play.

Bernard Blackbrass:

Until I do either i'm still idiot with axe.

Seishi Honekawa:

let's find something to fite

Jikai:

i don't really want us getting into a fight

Bernard Blackbrass:

With wizard that's not really going to change much.

Bernard Blackbrass:

Fear my first level spells!

Jikai:

having not doled out the treasure here and also the other two have not leveled yet

Seishi Honekawa:

gosh shut up duck

Jikai:

quack you

Seishi Honekawa:

you're not supposed to talk!

The Drufle:

I won't be having any fights tonight.

Bernard Blackbrass:

shut up duck

Bernard Blackbrass:

shut the duck up

The Drufle:

We'll be doing a bit of plot, and then next time will be a super plot.

Seishi Honekawa:

let's fight duck

Jikai:

i'm gonna go cry in the box

Bernard Blackbrass:

ducking loser

Seishi Honekawa:

Initiative Check Initiative Roll: « d20 + Initiative = 19 + 0 = 19 »

The Drufle:

We are not fighting the duck.

The Drufle:

Stop that.

Bernard Blackbrass:

we have standards

Seishi Honekawa:

Handle Animal Check At-Will • Cha Roll: (GM Only) « d20 + HandleAnimal + ChaBonus = 5 + 0 + 4 = 9 »

Bernard Blackbrass:

we get the zhyens to fight the duck and the tekton body in a double battle.

The Drufle:

The duck is kind of frightened.

Seishi Honekawa:

manhandle animal check

The Drufle:

You do not do well.

Ezra:

THE NEXT MORNING

Ezra:

everyones awake again

The Drufle:

Oh, we're going to sleep?

The Drufle:

Well, alright.

Seishi Honekawa:

no i cant actually use handle animal

Ezra:

well our pilot just fell asleep

The Drufle:

That is a good point.

Bernard Blackbrass:

I touch the Tekton body more.

Ezra:

we can't wake her right away she'd probably notice shes only had 10 minutes of sleep

The Drufle:

Tekton's body should be getting close to gone.

Seishi Honekawa:

but it's 5 pm in the afternoon

Bernard Blackbrass:

i'm touching it

Bernard Blackbrass:

hehehehehe

Bernard Blackbrass:

"Can we animate this?"

The Drufle:

Seishi: we can just skip to next morning, you know.

The Drufle:

Unless you want to wake up Hina.

Ezra:

skip'd

Bernard Blackbrass:

While Ezra is asleep I touch the seed.

Ezra:

doo dee dooo

Ezra:

pff

Seishi Honekawa:

"Maybe you should plant your friend now"

Ezra:

a ninja is never truly asleep

Bernard Blackbrass:

" *giggle* "

Bernard Blackbrass:

*touch*

Seishi Honekawa:

"This ground seems more... hospitable"

Ezra:

thats my leg

Bernard Blackbrass:

" *giggle* "

Seishi Honekawa:

"It's from the Plane of Earth too"

Ezra:

Maybe we can plant him in the old chest

Seishi Honekawa:

do you want to get forcibly replaced by gg drufle

Seishi Honekawa:

well it still has the other things in it

Seishi Honekawa:

put it in a box

The Drufle:

Yeah, uh.

Ezra:

could we grab the earth here and use it

The Drufle:

I guess you can plant him?

Ezra:

Let's do that then

The Drufle:

Is Ezra gonna grab some dirt?

Ezra:

sure yes

The Drufle:

Alright, dirt is grabbed.

Seishi Honekawa:

let

Seishi Honekawa:

's

The Drufle:

And you're going to what

Seishi Honekawa:

how

The Drufle:

Put it in the chest?

Bernard Blackbrass:

"Do you need water?"

Seishi Honekawa:

do we have a shovel

Ezra:

we do need a container

Bernard Blackbrass:

"I still have this, uh... fire water."

Bernard Blackbrass:

"It's mine though."

Seishi Honekawa:

"I can create water"

Ezra:

the new chest is empty then?

Ezra:

we can assume all itmes were taken

* Bernard Blackbrass skims quickly through his stolen book."

Bernard Blackbrass:

I take the belt and slippers, I think.

Ezra:

but who got what well its like that cat that was in the box

Bernard Blackbrass:

Probably not the armor.

Ezra:

we decide later!

Bernard Blackbrass:

Wizards don't use armor.

The Drufle:

Alright, everything is on a crate nearby.

The Drufle:

The chest is now empty.

Ezra:

lets put some nice dirt in there

Seishi Honekawa:

f planted in fertile ground and left undisturbed for 2d6 days, the seed grows into a healthy duplicate of the original ghoran

Ezra:

"I don't think he'll need any care."

The Drufle:

It's 5 days.

The Drufle:

We rolled this already.

Ezra:

"Just stick him in and wait."

The Drufle:

Alright, chest full of magic dirt.

* Bernard Blackbrass chants something.

Ezra:

okay so its magic dirt

Ezra:

even better

* Bernard Blackbrass pours a bit of Magic Water.

Seishi Honekawa:

he grows in 5 milliseconds

Ezra:

"Right...there we go."

* Bernard Blackbrass pours a lot of Holy Water.

Ezra:

where the heck were you hoarding water

The Drufle:

Brass: is that the magic fire?

Ezra:

are you a camel??

Bernard Blackbrass:

Yes.

The Drufle:

Alright, Tekton's seed is in the dirt, water flame on top.

* Bernard Blackbrass runs his fingers through the water flame. Just because.

Bernard Blackbrass:

"This stuff is great!"

The Drufle:

A small sprout appears from the dirt, pulsing a bit.

Seishi Honekawa:

we harvest the oran berries soon

Ezra:

"Didn't expect such a quick sprout."

Ezra:

"Good to know it's worked, though."

Bernard Blackbrass:

"We can't let anything get at this sprout, everyone."

Bernard Blackbrass:

"I expect regular sentries surrounding this chest to make sure it's well defended."

Bernard Blackbrass:

"Who is first..."

Tokens dropped onto map 'Grasslands'

* Bernard Blackbrass points at Urtar.

Bernard Blackbrass:

"You."

The Drufle:

Oh, bellsprout.

The Drufle:

Forgot about that pog.

Urtar:

"Me, sir?"

Bernard Blackbrass:

"You are on watch until this sprite sprouts."

Bernard Blackbrass:

"Then your brother.

Bernard Blackbrass:

"Then you again."

Bernard Blackbrass:

"Then your brother some more."

Urtar:

"Very well, sir."

Ezra:

Well, Ezra's going to stand here, as well."

Ezra:

not that there's much place to sit anyway

Ezra:

so is it the next morning

The Drufle:

Yes, sure.

Ezra:

we rollin onwards

The Drufle:

Everybody has gone to sleep.

Ezra:

shes' sleep driving

The Drufle:

Well, no.

The Drufle:

The wagon has stayed stationary.

The Drufle:

We weren't going to wake her up, remember?

Ezra:

yes

Ezra:

okay

The Drufle:

Alright, next morning.

The Drufle:

Same place.

Ezra:

« CurrentHP = max(CurrentHP+Level,MaxHP) = CurrentHP = max(24 + 2, 29) = 29 » « TempHP = 0 = TempHP = 0 = 0 » Extended Rest HP: 29 Hero Points: 1

Seishi Honekawa:

okso i spells refreshed

The Drufle:

I think everyone is adequately healed up.

* Bernard Blackbrass gets tempted to pour some of the other flames on the chest!

The Drufle:

The sprout is significantly larger at this point.

* Bernard Blackbrass wasn't entertaining it until someone else woke up.

Ezra:

Brass is stopped by the guards.

Bernard Blackbrass:

gj zhyens

Ezra:

2 genies and a duck
