Imban:

Tilus has connected.

Imban:

So everyone should be on the Black Shrine map. Not that we're really using MapTool for the first bit since uhh... Skill Challenge!

Tilus: (( Here we go. ))

Threden: (( Yay! Skill Challenge! ))

Imban:

In fact, the most relevant thing to load up is probably...

Serra: (( A SKILL CHALLENGE DESCENDS UPON US!? ))

Imban:

Threden: (( Phail ))

Serra: (( blurk ))

Adric Kain:

This map of the area makes no fucking sense

Imban:

YOUR MOTHER, GAME

Serra: (( ))

Imban: (( ))

Threden: (( Waggle yourself. ))

Imban:

Regardless, the seven six five four four and one fourth of you are in Umbraforge, a volcanically and tectonically active dominion of the Shadowfell.

Serra: (( No Kuro, Blaine, Regris, and I'm guessing fleed is FF11ing? ))

Imban: (( Fleed is here. ))

Imban: (( No Kuro or Blaine, and Regris is 1/4 of a character. ))

Serra: (( ah. XD ))

Imban:

Not only did Modok get away from you last time, you're in a giant mercenary camp in the Shadowfell.

Imban:

Since the Shadowfell's typical inhabitants are gloomy emo kids, this is unusual in and of itself.

Faiz:

AHAHAHAAAA.

Serra: (( It's clearly we don't have a mangy mutt companion to go along with us meddling kids, else we would've caught that criminal! ))

Imban:

So, you're going to need to track him down. Reniss might have been good at that, but she kind of got shanked.

Serra: (( Reniss, good at something? Since when? ))

Imban:

Well, in her dreams she was good at gathering information.

Adric Kain: (( She's good at dying. ))

Imban:

Regardless, see the map? The party can go to any location marked on it, and ask around. Or they can split up, and go to multiple locations!

Imban:

Just tell me what you're doing, and I'll tell you what you can try~

Adric Kain:

Let's try the market.

Serra: (( I say we check out the slave bazaar. He's got hirelings up the wazoo, chances are he stops by there often. ))

Adric Kain: (( That works too ))

Adric Kain: (( WHAT DO THE ROBOTS THINK? ))

Threden: (( The guards think we're mercenaries. Maybe going to the merc camps to see what they know, and how we should be acting? ))

Imban: (( Well, three people, three suggestions. Either Faiz needs to be the tiebreaker, or you're going to have to split up at this rate! ))

Faiz: (( Fuck all y'all, I'm going to the merc camps. ))

Adric Kain: (( Merc camps it is! ))

Serra: (( Sure, let's head there first. ))

Imban:

There's a lot of small mercenary companies encamped here, and it seems like more are coming and going all the time.

Imban:

You can use Diplomacy, Endurance, Intimidate, or Streetwise as primary skills here, and Bluff as a secondary skill.

* Mechalomaniac rolls: 1d20+13 Bluff => 19 + 13 = 32

Faiz:

THIS IS THE BEST PLACE.

Faiz:

Endurance = 20       Rolled: 8     Bonuses: 12

Imban:

Adric pretends to be an Important Person, and people believe him. Probably because he's writing the story.

Imban:

(+2 to his next Arcana, Diplomacy, or Intimidate check)

* Serra proceeds to start asking around.

* Threden rolls: 1d20+14 Robot Enduro => 10 + 14 = 24

* Tilus rolls: 1d20+10 Diplomacy~ => 10 + 10 = 20

Imban:

Faiz and Threden hook up with a mercenary unit and participate in some of their training drills.

Adric Kain: (( "Hey let's bash our heads against each other and the last one to lose consciousness wins!" ))

Imban:

They both overhear some rumors. And then they get kicked out because training against robots just feels unfair.

Imban:

By which I mean they bash some goblins into unconsciousness during "practice".

* Imban rolls: 1d10 => 3

* Imban rolls: 1d10 => 6

Faiz: (( ROSHAMBO IS A PERFECTLY ACCEPTABLE METHOD OF TRAINING HRRRGG ))

Imban:

"“Modra is known well in Umbraforge, but for all the wrong reasons now. He was one of Sarshan’s trusted lieutenants before he tried to a broker a weapons deal that Sarshan had already turned down.”

Imban:

“The foundry is the new jewel of Sarshan’s operations. Its power comes from the fire and shadow driving its furnaces. Sarshan’s sages create beasts of battle there, born killers with magic in their blood.”

Faiz:

BITCHES JEALOUS OF MY CRUSHTACULARITY.

Adric Kain: (( Oh shit we can't go to the Foundry yet. We have to do boarding party first and it's a L37 flashpoint ))

Imban:

Also, it doesn't seem like the generic mercenaries you were training with know anything more. (Endurance is now closed for the rest of the challenge!)

Faiz: (( fuck ))

Threden:

OBSERVATION: Sparring partner was too 'squishy'.

Imban:

Meanwhile, Serra speaks with one of the mercenary captains, and finds out some interesting information.

* Imban rolls: 1d10 => 10

Faiz:

I DUNNO, BONES ARE PRETTY HARD.

Imban:

“Sarshan’s mercenary operations have tripled in size in months past, but it’s not the Shadowfell they’re fighting in. When his forces are bought and sent on the march, they’re bound for portals to the world. Shadar-kai, dark ones, undead, giants, ogres, trolls, gnolls, orcs— Sarshan has the armies of two planes on the march. War is brewing in the world, but the forces that will fight it are moving into position in the Shadowfell, unseen.”

Imban:

Well, where to head now? Or ask around further with Diplo/Intimidate/Streetwise/Bluff?

Faiz:

LET ME BACK IN YOU JERKS.

Faiz:

Intimidate = 15       Rolled: 7     Bonuses: 8

Adric Kain: (( Let's try the slave market ))

* Threden rolls: 1d20+9 Robot Intimidate => 11 + 9 = 20

Adric Kain: (( Mercs are dum ))

Serra: (( Yeah, we should go to the slave market. ))

Imban:

The two of you head off as Faiz and Threden busy themselves with knocking down mercenaries for fun.

Imban:

They both get some information out of hobgoblins who are terrified of being held upside down by one ankle by giant robots, but it might have hurt their reputation.

* Imban rolls: 1d10 => 3

Imban:

“Modra is known well in Umbraforge, but for all the wrong reasons now. He was one of Sarshan’s trusted lieutenants before he tried to a broker a weapons deal that Sarshan had already turned down.”

* Imban rolls: 1d10 => 2

Imban:

“Sarshan is shadar-kai, an outcast who made a name for himself as the leader of a legendary mercenary band known as the Black Arrow. At their height, the Arrow put so much fear in generals and kings alike that Sarshan would take payment to fight for one group, then take a bigger payment from their foe to stand down.”

* Mechalomaniac rolls: 1d20+13 Diplomancy => 2 + 13 = 15

Imban: (( Um, where, Mecha? ))

Adric Kain: (( Slave Markets ))

Imban: (( I didn't say what you could do in the slave markets yet~ ))

Adric Kain: (( Oooh ok ))

Threden:

OBSERVATION: We are finished here.

Adric Kain: (( Nevermind then! ))

Imban: (( Faiz and Threden both take a -2 to Bluff/Diplo/Streetwise for the rest of the challenge. ))

Faiz:

MAAAAN.

Adric Kain: (( Oh god it's an actual map we're gonna die ))

Serra: (( Oh no indeed. XD ))

Faiz: (( ...WELP ))

Faiz: (( PERMISSION TO SHARKBORN ))

Serra: (( Well, nice knowing you, Adric! Let us march together unto our cruel fates! ))

Imban:

As the two of them head towards the Slave Bazaar, another earthquake occurs, and a volcanic fissure erupts near the slave bazaar, birthing creatures of flame!

Adric Kain: (( Fuck that. Run away ))

Faiz: (( I would totally prefer to not have them SUPER DIE. ))

Imban:

On the bright side, Faiz and Threden are right behind them.

Adric Kain:

....so hey let's go back to the camp.

Imban:

On the dim side, Faiz and Threden are right behind them.

Threden: (( * munches on popcorn * ))

Faiz: (( Don't mind me. Just doin' a thing. ))

Imban: (( Initiative for all 4 of you, plz ))

DaiyaTemp: (( wait what ))

* Mechalomaniac rolls: 1d20+6 Initiative => 20 + 6 = 26

* Threden rolls: 1d20+4 Let's Robattle => 14 + 4 = 18

Adric Kain has received initiative.

Adric Kain:

We should run.

Imban: (( If you'd like to leave the combat area, retreat works the same way for you as it does for the NPCs - just leave the map. ))

Imban: (( Mind you, this means the monsters will do whatever they want. ))

Threden: (( I imagine that thickets give +10% dodge and armour, right? ))

Serra: (( How far back are Faiz/Threden? Will they show up next turn or what? ))

Adric Kain: (( Do we care if the monsters rampage around the shadowfell town? ))

Imban: (( They'll show up on their own turns. ))

Imban: (( Thickets give +2 all defenses and cost 2 to move through, as difficult terrain. ))

Serra: (( We fail the skill challenge and don't get to find out where Modok is. ))

Serra: (( That's pretty much the only reason why we care, though. ))

Imban: (( It's not quite THAT bad ))

Adric Kain: (( Anyway uhhh ))

Imban: (( but yes, running away will give you 1 failure in the challenge ))

Adric Kain: (( Can you switch a standard action to a move in this? ))

Imban: (( Yes ))

* Imban rolls: 1d10 => 8

Imban:

“The Shadowfell is only a stopping-off place for Sarshan’s mercenaries. A force of archons from the Elemental Chaos was here not six months ago. I saw githzerai from the Astral Sea in Umbraforge once. I don’t know what job they took for Sarshan, but woe be to whoever got in their way.”

Imban:

That said, that seems like all the information you'll get out of Diplomacy in general. Which is good, because Adric gets thrown out for being Tiefling scum.

Faiz: (( What a jerkface. ))

Adric Kain:

Hey I just saved you all from a burning firey death!

Serra:

"Smooth moves, there."

Imban:

Faiz shakes down a slave who cries about it, though.

* Imban rolls: 1d10 => 9

Faiz:

STOP CRYING!!

Imban:

“Sarshan’s slave bazaar is about more than just servants and soldiers. His experiments in the foundry only begin with dumb beasts. He’s building new soldier races there, born from the slaves he traffics.”

Adric Kain:

Well I can't win them all

Faiz:

YOU'RE SO NOISY ARGH.

Adric Kain:

Time to try a different approach anyway

* Threden rolls: 1d20+4 Streetwalkin' => 3 + 4 = 7

Imban:

You think you've intimidated enough people, too. Now you need to move somewhere else and figure out where, exactly, Modra is.

* Mechalomaniac rolls: 1d20+13 Bluff! => 8 + 13 = 21

Adric Kain: (( Oh we have to go to a different area? ))

Imban: (( yeah, though 3den didn't act here so ))

Imban:

Threden makes an absolute fool of himself, asking some Dark Ones "what is up, dawgs" or something like that.

Serra: (( Yeah, might as well hit the market now. ))

Threden:

OBSERVATION: Interaction module not calibrated.

Faiz: (( COLLOQUIALISM: Words towards your mothers! ))

Adric Kain:

I swear if we run into more fire monsters I'm going to be annoyed.

Imban:

You arrive at the markets. You were here looking for equipment recently, and there weren't any fire monsters then.

Imban:

Of course, times change.

Serra: (( Of course. ))

Imban:

...but not THAT badly. Anyway, your only applicable skills here are Streetwise and Bluff.

Threden: (( (Imban) And this is one of those times. ))

* Mechalomaniac rolls: 1d20+13 Bluff => 11 + 13 = 24

Imban:

Adric looks important and gets +2 to Arcana, Diplomacy, and Intimidate. Good thing none of those are Streetwise.

Faiz: (( Hnnnng. Both of my skills here are AWFUL. ))

Imban:

I wonder where you can use Arcana...!

* Tilus rolls: 1d20+10 Serra asks around, in a different manner. (Bluff) => 2 + 10 = 12

Serra: (( ;__________________; ))

Imban:

Serra looks like a goofball and gets nowhere fast.

* Threden rolls: 1d20+2 Walkin' on a different street. => 19 + 2 = 21

Imban:

Threden happens to overhear some information while shopping for spears at the market.

* Imban rolls: 1d10 => 9

Imban:

“Sarshan’s slave bazaar is about more than just servants and soldiers. His experiments in the foundry only begin with dumb beasts. He’s building new soldier races there, born from the slaves he traffics.”

Faiz:

Streetwise = 23       Rolled: 20     Bonuses: 3

Faiz: (( FUCK, WHAT ))

Imban:

Faiz SOMEHOW looks inconspicuous enough to pick up the word on the street.

* Imban rolls: 1d10 => 6

Threden: (( Faiz picks up ALL the word. ))

Adric Kain: (( We could try the Magma Shadow Rift. I'm sure that's not dangerous at all despite being on top of a volcano ))

Imban:

“The foundry is the new jewel of Sarshan’s operations. Its power comes from the fire and shadow driving its furnaces. Sarshan’s sages create beasts of battle there, born killers with magic in their blood.”

Adric Kain: (( Or maybe the Foundry ))

Serra: (( I'm gonna guess either the foundry or the tower are applicable arcana spots. ))

Imban:

It seems like you've gotten enough information from Streetwise. However, you need 1 more success (before 1 more failure) to finish the challenge.

Serra: (( Or the shrine. ))

Imban:

Where to?

Imban: (( You started at the shrine. ))

Adric Kain: (( Let's try the Foundry ))

Threden: (( Let's go to the foundry and let someone with huge bonuses roll that. ))

Serra: (( Sure, the foundry. ))

Serra: (( I got +12 arcana. ))

Wolfsbane: (( So yeah cooking for five people and gaming is hard :( ))

Adric Kain:

Kill three of the 5 people

Adric Kain: (( Kill three of the 5 people. ))

Faiz:

WHAT...?

Imban:

The found is off-limits and heavily guarded. That said, though, there's a strange MAGMA SHADOW RIFT running into it. Maybe a wizard should inspect it.

Imban: (( (Arcana only. Unless you just want to barge in.) ))

Adric Kain: (( Oh. The map lies about that then ))

Serra: (( Anyone got better than +12? ))

Imban: (( it does? ))

Unknown command: "oor Or rather it implies the Magma Shadow Rift is the point on top of the volcano rather than the whole thing". Try /help for a list of commands.

Adric Kain: (( And No, you're the best magicker ))

* Tilus rolls: 1d20+12 Arcana go! => 18 + 12 = 30

Adric Kain: (( Rather it implies the Magma Shadow Rift is the point on top of the volcano rather than the whole thing ))

Serra: (( This does not count the +2 if it applies to me. ))

Imban: (( Well ok. It is all of it thoguh ))

* Faiz barely even knows what the hell he does, much less the balance of dark and horrible magics.

Imban:

Serra is a wizard, and that looks fucked up. Specifically, the back wall of the foundry looks like it's a weak point, since it's where all the vents are.

Imban:

Faiz takes a look and confirms it - you could easily smash through the back wall.

Imban:

Just as you're looking at it, though...

Faiz:

...ARE THESE PEOPLE RETARDED?

Faiz:

YOU CAN'T BUILD SOMETHING THIS CRAZY WITH THAT.

Adric Kain:

They always are.

Leena:

Ahem.

Faiz:

I COULD LEAN ON THIS AND BREAK IT.

Faiz:

LADY! WHY ARE YOU SO AWFUL AT BUILDING THINGS?!

Leena:

The shadar-kai witch wears a black cloak edged with adamantine beads, and she keeps her long hair plaited to hang down her back. Gold piercings line her ears and lower lip, and a black starburst tattoo encloses her right eye.

Leena:

"I did not build it. Our lord Sarshan did."

Faiz:

WHY IS HE SO AWFUL AT BUILDING THINGS!?

Leena:

"He isn't. A... former mutual friend of ours has taken up residence there, you see."

Adric Kain:

Former friend or former mutal friend?

Serra:

"Mutual friend?"

Leena:

“Modra and I worked together for a time, but when he elected to go behind Sarshan’s back, I told him we were done. I heard word of him in the camps even before you started asking around. He has a plan to disrupt Sarshan’s operations by destroying the foundry, then the tower. Sarshan has a private tunnel connecting the two, and Modra is planning on venting the foundry’s destructive energy there. A mass of mercenaries is moving out tonight. He’ll be using that as cover when he goes inside."

Faiz:

WELL SOMEBODY WILL RUE THE DAY OF SHODDY CONSTRUCTION.

Leena:

“Modra’s made his bargain with fate, and honor decrees that he die for his betrayal. He won’t get tears from me. But if Sarshan captures him, he’ll die slowly. If it’s you, I’ll hope you make it quick.”

Adric Kain:

So...you're not going to try to attack us?

Leena:

"Uh. I actually do like MOST of my blood inside my body."

Leena:

"If that's okay with you."

Adric Kain:

I like this one.

Faiz:

...WE DREW TOO MUCH ATTENTION AGAIN, DIDN'T WE.

Adric Kain:

She's better than the last two we ran into.

Leena:

"Not THAT much. I'd been looking around, but Modra has been paying attention to the foundry guards."

Serra:

"I don't think we drew as much attention as last time, at least."

Leena:

"I think you'll be able to get the drop on him, especially if you go in the back."

* Faiz points questioningly at the stupid wall.

Leena:

"Yes. Well, I mean. You could also heroically charge in the front and all die."

Faiz:

...WELL NOW I'M JUST TORN.

Serra:

"With that said, for all that Modra has done to us, we can assure you that he will not get off easy."

Adric Kain:

Will the things inside try to kill us?

Adric Kain:

That's a silly question. Of course they will.

Leena:

"That is a silly question."

Faiz:

THEN WE KILL THEM BACK.

Faiz:

LIKE, A LOT.

Adric Kain:

Anything notable we should be prepared for in there?

Leena:

"Well, Modra is in there. He might kill you in the face."

Adric Kain:

We know about him. I mean anything else

Faiz:

HE CAN'T EVEN REACH MY KNEES.

Faiz:

...THOUGH I LIKE MY SHINS...

Leena:

"He has a horde of shadowgoblin allies? Otherwise, nothing I can tell you."

Adric Kain:

Dragons, more evil Shadar Kai witches, the lord of death?

Leena:

"None of the above. Actually, if any Shadar-kai see him, they'd kill him on sight. Hopefully."

Adric Kain:

Yay!

Faiz:

MAN, NOW I'M JUST CONFUSED.

Faiz:

SO WE'RE LIKE.

Faiz:

BUSTING IN ON OUR ALLIES.

Faiz:

IN A MANNER OF SPEAKING.

Faiz:

TO KILL THE DUDE THEY'D KILL ANYWAY?

Faiz:

EXCEPT IF WE GET CAUGHT WE GET SUPER-ATTACKED INSTEAD?

Threden: (( Clearly we want the XP instead of the minions. ))

Leena:

"I ... think you're confused."

Leena:

"I'm not telling you to kill Shadar-kai, either."

Adric Kain:

We won't unless they attack us first.

Adric Kain:

Which so far two out of the three we've met have.

Serra:

"Bust through the back, Faiz. You'll surprise the bad things in there and you get to crash through a wall."

Faiz:

I CAN DO THAT!

Leena:

"Yes, you do that. I'll be over... there. Far away from you."

Adric Kain:

Remember to shout "Oh yeah" as you do it.

* Leena shadow teleports away.

Adric Kain:

I liked that one. I'd ask her out except it sounds like she was involved with that Lord Sauron guy.

Imban:

A NEW MAP IS AVAILABLE: Dark Foundry

Imban:

Anyway, to bust through, you'll need to make a Thievery or Whatever Faiz Thinks Is Appropriate For Earth Powers check to keep the wall from collapsing, then make a Strength check to bust through.

Serra: (( Nature? ))

Threden: (( Everyone needs to burst through, or just one? ))

Imban: (( Just Faz. ))

Imban: (( Faiz. Or Threden, I guess. ))

* Faiz gotta hold structures together, make shit not collapse like a stupid asshole, earth-movin' is hard on a body, especially when things fall on top of you like... heavy things that fall on you

Wolfsbane: (( Into an acid vat :( ))

Imban:

The red glow of the lava trench is shrouded by shifting clouds of shadow and steam. Huge stone vats with steel doors line both sides of this massive chamber, where great arrangements of pipes and vents connect them.

Imban:

Two squads of what look like hobgoblins, their bodies seemingly cloaked in shadow, work here, supervised by another cloaked figure. They work busily at two sections of pipe that divert and channel the lava flow. Closer to the door, two other shadowgoblins stand guard.

Imban: (( lol initiative ))

Imban:

Note that the conduit is boiling hot, and moving across it takes 2 squares of movement.

Serra: (( I could also bring out Tiefling Paladin or Deva Avenger Totally Not Grim Reaper as well. ))

Faiz: (( (still not too late to add in, anyhow) ))

Serra: (( The conduit is those green vats or the pipes? ))

Imban: (( The pipes. ))

Serra: (( Kay. ))

Imban: (( The green vats are full of badness and not enterable. ))

Imban: (( You can open them up, though! ))

Threden: (( So like, Faiz and I basically need to charge some dude to clear the pathway. ))

Imban: (( But yeah go Wolfsbane ))

Threden: (( Since it'll take 6 move to even make it to the end of the vats. ))
