Imban: Click on yourself, use Campaign> Damage or Healing
Town Guard: Town Guard loses 20 hit points.
Gad: (( I don't seem to get that option ))
Threden: We can use this on other players too, right?
Imban: Maybe
Serra: (( Yeah, that option's not on my list either. ))

Town Guard: Town Guard is healed and gains 9005 hit points.
Serra: Serra is healed and gains 0 hit points.
Imban: I also added another area on your token for Healing Surges.
Imban: This one won't show up in a mouseover but it's a nice place to keep it noted between sessions.
Faiz: Yeah I'm just getting a big syntax error whenever I try to use it.
Threden: Do you have a token selected?
Imban: Faiz> Are you targeting someone with an integer HP and integer maxHP?
Faiz: No, I'm targeting myself.
Threden: It won't work on you because your HP isn't set right
Mechalomaniac: (( Did you set your Max HP ))
Imban: You don't have a properly set up HP or maxHP property
Gad: (( I don't have the surges thing I think ))

Imban: OK, Healing Surges should be there now
Imban: I goofed
Mechalomaniac: (( It's there now ))
Serra: (( Yeah, I see it now too. ))
Imban: OK!
Imban: So now what you'll want to do is Cut your token, move to the Town map, and Paste it in front of the inn.
Imban: This will take a while since the Town map is huge.
Faiz: ...Don't have it on my window, hm~
Imban: Also I apparently meant the Bar, not the Inn.
Imban: You were drinking, not sleeping :
Threden: Or maybe a bit of both?
Imban: Maybe.
Threden: MAYBE YOU WERE
Adric Kain: (( BOOZE AND WENCHES ))
Threden: Since when has teh bar NOT been in the inn?!
Imban: Yeah, really.
Threden: Don't these guys know their fantasy? Geez.
Adric Kain: (( Also testing ))
Imban: All of you have had at least five minutes to catch your breath, so if you want to spend healing surges to restore your HP, you may do so.
Adric Kain:
Majestic Word • Minor • Arcane, Healing
You utter words laden with preternatural inspiration, restoring your allys stamina and making wounds seem insignificant.

Hit: The target can spend a healing surge and regain 4 additional hit points. You also slide the target 1 square.  
Adric Kain: (( Is that ridiculously annoying for you guys>? ))
* Serra is at full HP and needs no healing
Faiz: (( Hell, I've got a full set of powers the same way~ ))
Threden: (( Sure, I'll spend a surge. ))
* Gad is a vampire
Threden: Threden is healed and gains 8 hit points.
Adric Kain: (( I might as well too since I apparently have 9 ))
Imban: That's not that annoying, but I won't be using that format unless Mecha shoves it at me between sessions or something.
Adric Kain: Adric Kain is healed and gains 1 hit points.
Adric Kain: (( I can if you want. I just set it up earlier ))
Faiz: (( I WILL ANNOY THE SHIT OUT OF EVERYONE WITH MINE. ))
Imban: As you were resting and waiting to hear if the guards needed more help, you were hearing shouts in the distance and cries of battle.
Imban: Now, however, those shouts are a lot closer, and a group of townsfolk come running around the street corner to the north!
Serra: (( I'm just going to do things the old fashioned way since the last game I used with macros just made it more of a hassle to use them than not to use them. ))
Threden: (( g'day Bruce. ))
Adric Kain: (( We're in a town full of clones ))
Bruce: AHH IT'S AN OGRE
Faiz: (( WELCOME TO THE TOWN OF BRUCE ))
Adric Kain: (( Alternately: Hey Bruce, let's get a pint of fosters and get to the Hindenburg! ))
Threden: Direct us to the threat.
Adric Kain: An ogre?
Imban: They're fleeing what appears to be an ogre pulling... a boatwagon by a yoke around its waist.
Faiz: ...HUH.
Threden: (( I just really love the ring of roses. ))
* Gad sticks close to the bushes, hiding under his cloak.
Imban: Riding atop the boat are two hobgoblins, equipped with bows
Gad: Huge...
Faiz: IMPRESSIVELY SO.
Serra: "More of them. And they've come with a workhorse to do all the dirty jobs."
Adric Kain: I'm not sure if I'd say huge. Large certainly, but not huge.
Threden: Beginning combat preperations.
Gad: Maybe to you.
Faiz: I'M LARGE. AND THAT'S LARGER THAN ME, SO LARGER THAN LARGE. WHICH IS ROUGHLY HUGE.
Imban: I did not, however, figure out how to auto-do initiative! So this time we'll just be rolling again.
Bruce: RUNNNN
Faiz: (( OH GOD THEY'RE NINJAS. ))
Imban: The Bruces get the heck out of dodge.
Imban: Roll initiative!
Adric Kain: They seem to have the right idea
Faiz:
Initiative = 10       Rolled: 9     Bonuses: 1
Serra: (( Ninja-bruce!? ))
* Tilus rolls: 1d20 Init gogo~ => 11
* Kaiterra rolls: 1d20+4 => 18 + 4 = 22
* Threden rolls: 1d20+2 => 17 + 2 = 19
* Mechalomaniac rolls: 1d20+0 Initiation => 6 + 0 = 6
Adric Kain: (( Haha! I suck ))

* Imban rolls: 1d20+7 Goblin of Hobs => 10 + 7 = 17
* Imban rolls: 1d20+7 Goblin of Hobs => 1 + 7 = 8
Imban: Gad -> Ogre -> Threden - Hobgoblin -> Serra -> Faiz -> Hobgoblin -> Adric
Imban: Gad!
* Gad scrambles for a hiding place.
Gad: (( Done! ))
Imban: The ogre slowly drags himself and the cart out into the street.
* Adric Kain turns to the other three. "You know if he wanted to run away, he went the wrong direction."
Threden: (( Wow, that was a lot of movement. ))
Serra: (( Okay guys, don't get TOO close to the baddies on turn 1. I'm going to soften them up a bit. ))
Serra: (( He probably doublemoved. ))
Gad: (( DOUBLE MOVE & DIAGONALS BOYYYYS ))
Imban: The ogre hefts a cask off of the cart and heaves it towards the heroes!
Imban: Namely, Faiz, because he's out in front!
* Imban rolls: 1d20-1 vs. Faiz Reflex => 9 - 1 = 8
Faiz: MONKEY!
* Imban rolls: 1d9 => 9
* Imban rolls: 1d4-1 => 4 - 1 = 3
Imban: The cask seems to have been full of flaming pitch!
Imban: ...he also missed you by approximately a mile, because he throws like a girl
Gad: Fire!!
Imban: (Threden!)
Faiz: WHY ARE YOU SO BAD AT SETTING THINGS ON FIRE?? IT IS NOT HARD.
Serra: (( (Note: I'm going to be using static mote on turn 1.) ))
Threden: Advancing with caution.
Adric Kain: Oh, he did set something on fire, just not what he intended.
Threden: (( Done ))
Faiz: ARSON IS A CAREFUL ART AND WANTON, UNPLANNED APPLICATION OF FIRE IS SIMPLE BARBARISM.
Imban: One of the hobgoblins lights another cask of pitch, then shifts up and hands it to the ogre, which grins toothily.
Imban: (Serra!)
* Serra moves up one space...
* Serra invokes Static Mote, placing it...
Serra: (( ...There, right in the midst of all the enemies. ))
Serra: (( ...I guess you can't see that very well, can you? ))
Imban: I can...
Faiz: (( Um. ))
Serra: (( It's in the center of all three enemies, right of Hob 2 but left of the ogre. ))
Unknown command: "opoc I see nothing". Try /help for a list of commands.
Adric Kain: (( I see nothing but I know where it is. ))
Faiz: (( It's on a boat. ))
Faiz: (( Take a good hard look at the motherfuckin' boat. ))
Adric Kain: (( Ok I see it ))
Serra: (( Anything that starts its' turn adjacent to it is slowed. ))
Serra: (( There, I used a better image. ))
Serra: (( Also it's going to blow up in a burst 3 at the start of my next turn. ))
Imban: (( okay, 555 then! ))
Faiz: YOU AND ME GONNA HAVE WORDS, BIG MAN.
Faiz: (( (Done~) ))
Ogre Savage: CRUSH IS WORD.
Faiz: CRUSH, INDEED!
Hobgoblin Archer 2: Hmph. Annoying magey brat.
Adric Kain: I think you made a friend.
Imban: The hobgoblin shoots Serra!
* Imban rolls: 1d20+9 vs. AC => 12 + 9 = 21
Serra: "I suppose I have~ Not a very good friend though it seems~"
* Imban rolls: 1d10+4 => 1 + 4 = 5
Serra: Serra loses 5 hit points.
Serra: "Ow!"
Threden: (( Wow, that's quite the bonus to hit. ))
Adric Kain: (( Imban wants to kill us all ))
Imban: (( Adric! ))
Threden: (( What kind of action is it to swap weapons, anyway? ))
Faiz: (( Minor, I think. ))
* Adric Kain takes a step forward and looks at the archer. "You know you're a cowardly retch, shooting a helpless lady like that, and from so far away!"
Adric Kain:

Damage = 8   Psychic       Rolled: 4     Bonuses: 4
Hit: Target takes a -2 Penalty to attack rolls until the end of your next turn  
Adric Kain: (( Alas, it did nothing ))
Imban: (( Drawing and sheathing weapons are both minors ))
Faiz: (( ...Man you should totally have just an entire macro palette devoted to pre-generated insults for that in the description. ))
Imban: (( so "swapping" properly is either 2 minors or 1 minor and you drop an item on the ground ))
Adric Kain: (( Oooh, good idea ))
Adric Kain: (( I'll figure out how to do that later ))
Imban: (( New round! ))
Imban: (( Gad! ))
Threden: (( Hm, I had forgotten that I had my « s = Invalid expression: s. »wrist bolter« /s = Invalid expression: /s. » hand crossbow, so I could have tried to take a potshot. Oh well. ))
Threden: (( ... ok ))
Imban: (( *pokes Gad to see if he falls prone* ))
Gad: (( No no I'm good ))
Gad: (( Sorry ))
Imban: (( That clearly provokes the ogre to take a whack at you. ))
Serra: (( Kait: Remember I have a static mote that's going to blow up. ))
Serra: (( In a burst 3, no less. ))
Gad: (( I thought I was just out of range of that, that's what I was hesitating over ))
Threden: (( Kait's out of a Burst 3 where he is. ))
Imban: (( No he's totally going to eat it. ))
Serra: (( Unfortunately no he is not. ))
Threden: (( Err? ))
Faiz: (( Diagonals count too~ ))
Gad: (( Right here I am good? ))
Imban: (( No you are not. ))
Imban: (( ONe more ))
Serra: (( And he still wouldn't be there either. ))
Gad: (( Okay ))
* Gad just hides around the corner then. Go!
Faiz: (( Thanks for keeping the goblins out of our range until your turn TILUS. ))
Adric Kain: (( Delay your turn ))
Imban: The ogre wheels the cart... slooowly towards Threden.
Imban: It looks at the burning pitch cask in one of its hands, then shrugs and tosses it directly at Threden!
* Imban rolls: 1d20-1 => 8 - 1 = 7
* Imban rolls: 1d9 => 9
* Imban rolls: 1d4-1 => 2 - 1 = 1
Adric Kain: (( And by directly at Thereden you mean over in that vague direction ))
Threden: OBSERVATION: You throw like a girl.
Imban: It... kind of just flops out of his hand and lands right in front of him. AND EXPLODES INTO FIRE!
Adric Kain: That's an insult to girls everywhere.
Faiz: HOW DOES SOMETHING THAT LARGE THROW SO TERRIBLY?
Serra: "I can throw better than that!"
Adric Kain: A blind leper could throw better than that.
Faiz: HERE'S A HINT: DON'T BE AWFUL.
Ogre Savage: RAAAAGH :|
Imban: The ogre pulls out a greatclub easily the size of Faiz.
Imban: (( Threden! ))
Faiz: PFFF. SO? MY SWORD'S STILL BIGGER THAN THAT.
Serra: (( You can get in its' face now and be out of range of the mote. ))
Adric Kain: (( And be smashed by the club ))
Faiz: (( Better us than you. ))
Adric Kain: (( I agree ))
Threden: (( So, where is a place that WON'T be explosion? To his bottom right? ))
Serra: (( Yeah. ))
Imban: (( Anywhere on his right side ))
Threden: Releasing elemental limiter.
Threden: (( Activating my guardian form as a minor action. ))
Ogre Savage: I SMASH PUNY METAL MAN.
Faiz: HE'S CALLIN' YOU SMALL, BRO. YOU GONNA TAKE THAT?
Threden: Turbines to power.
Serra: (( By the way: you can use the space button to set waypoints for your move such that you can move precisely and dodge opportunity attacks and the like. ))
* Threden rolls: 1d20+6 Lightning Blast => 18 + 6 = 24
Imban: (( That hits any of them ))
Threden: (( vs AC ))
* Threden rolls: 1d8+3 => 3 + 3 = 6
Ogre Savage: Ogre Savage loses 6 hit points.
Ogre Savage: Did a gnat just stab me?
Threden: (( Done. ))
Imban: (( That wasn't much of a lightning blast. ))
Adric Kain: (( He didn't shout THUNDER BREAK! ))
Threden: (( Also, two squares around me is difficult terrain for enemies. ))
Imban: The first hobgoblin archer shoots Serra, his aim bolstered by his ally's shooting her last turn!
* Imban rolls: 1d20+11 twang vs. AC => 2 + 11 = 13
* Serra easily sees it coming and sidesteps. "Not even close~!"
Adric Kain: That was pathetic,
Imban: (( Serra! ))
Serra: "Aaaaaand~ DOKKAAAAAAN~!"
Serra: * The mote explodes.
* Tilus rolls: 1d20+5 Vs Ref, burst 3 centered on the mote => 1 + 5 = 6
Imban: The mote more just implodes than anything.
Serra: ;_;
Threden: (( *sad trombone* ))
Faiz: ...WELL.
Serra: "Well, that was depressing. So then, how about this instead!"
Adric Kain: Bit of a letdown there.
* Serra invokes Mind Thrust (augment 1) on the big bad ogre!
* Tilus rolls: 1d20+5 Mind Thrust @ Ogre, vs Will => 19 + 5 = 24
Imban: (( Hit ))
Ogre Savage: ARGH. GRR.
* Tilus rolls: 1d10+4 Damage, and it eats a -4 penalty to Will until the end of my next turn => 6 + 4 = 10
Imban: (( 555! ))
Ogre Savage: Ogre Savage loses 10 hit points.
Faiz: (( Is it going to take anything other than a move action to get up on the cart? ))
Imban: (( I'll just say it's 1 extra movement point during normal movement ))
Faiz: (( 'Kaaay~ ))
Faiz: HEY! HEEEEY!

* Faiz is now a hulking hybrid construct of armor and rock, looking more or less like some sort of bipedal mountain lion. And very, very angry.
Imban: The archer nearest Faiz stands up and stabs at his face!
* Imban rolls: 1d20+6 vs. AC => 6 + 6 = 12
Hobgoblin Archer 2: Tch.
Imban: (( Adric! ))
Faiz: TRY HARDER!
* Adric Kain looks toward the prone ogre. "Hmmm....you know, I'd like to think of something witty to say, but instead I think I'll just ask you to scream in pain!"

Ogre Savage: Ogre Savage loses 7 hit points.
Gad: (( That's a really cool power! ))
Faiz: (( Actually I believe the power is that they get knocked prone only when they LEAVE the Shockwave zone, not when they get hit by it. ))
Adric Kain: (( He's now a Regen factory. Have fun ))
Ogre Savage: (( It sounds like they take damage for leaving and are proned in general, looking at the power ))
Adric Kain: (( Though I need to change my macro. The regen thing kicks in if I hit or not ))
Ogre Savage: (( ...though I dunno! ))
* Gad peeks out from behind the corner, impressed at these people taking it to the ogre.
Ogre Savage: (( Gad's turn yeah ))
Imban: (( Also the narrator is not an ogre ))
Adric Kain: (( SCREEEEEE ))
Faiz: (( "Target takes X damage. The target is knocked prone « and takes CONmod damage = Invalid expression: and takes CONmod damage. » when it leaves the zone." ))
Imban: (( Oh, okay! ))
Threden: STATEMENT: Who is the gnat now?
* Kaiterra rolls: 1d20+4 vs. Reflex Vampire Slam the Ogre => 3 + 4 = 7
Imban: (( Reality revises itself such that the enemies were never prone. ))
Faiz: (( So they're still up, just... they're goin' for a ride if they try to move! ))
Imban: Gad misses horrendously.
* Gad is inspired to run out and crash into the ogre! But in his unfocused frenzy runs right between its legs as it shifts its facing!

Serra: (( I believe end of turn. ))
* Imban rolls: 1d6 Recharge 6 Angry Smash => 6
Serra: (( Don't hold me to this though. ))
Gad: (( Oh shoot, I should have gotten on the opposite side of Fleed. Not that it would have helped. ))
Imban: The ogre remains angery.
Imban: (( 3-den! ))
Threden: Continuing assault.
Faiz: (( And remember to mark them this time. ))
Threden: (( Not that it helps me any. ))
Threden: (( Marking the ogre. ))
* Threden rolls: 1d20+6 vs AC Lightning Blast => 4 + 6 = 10

Imban: (( Is why. ))
Threden: (( I use Guardian's Counter, which lets me swap places with Fleed and take the hit instead. I can make a basic attack afterwards. ))
Imban: (( Okay! ))
Faiz: Faiz is healed and gains 22 hit points.
Threden: Threden loses 25 hit points.
Threden: Threden loses 22 hit points.
Faiz: (( ...So does that mean MY objection triggers then, since he's technically targeting Threden now? ))
Imban: (( 25, actually. It was 25-3. ))
Imban: (( Unless you also have DR ))
Threden: (( Uh, I don't. But it doesn't look like both applied... ))
Threden: Threden loses 3 hit points.
Imban: (( There ))
Faiz: --WHAT
Faiz: UH.
Gad: ...That was fast. ._.
Faiz: HMM.
Threden: Protecting allied unit

Imban: Suddenly, the ogre clobbers Threden instead!
Imban: (( I'd say no, Fleed, since he did target you. ))
* Threden rolls: 1d20+6 vs AC => 8 + 6 = 14
Imban: (( though hell if I know at this point ))
Threden: (( Actually ))
Imban: (( actually sure why not Faiz can OBJECTION too ))

Threden: (( Effect: You and the ally shift up to 2 squares as a free action, swapping positions. You become the target of the triggering attack, in place of the ally. After the attack is resolved, you can make a basic attack against the attacker. ))
Serra: (( Was I skipped? ))
Imban: (( No ))
Imban: (( CONFUSION happened but it's not your turn and hasn't been Faiz's ))

Adric Kain: (( He half succeded! ))
Imban: (( Serra! ))
Imban: (( Oh, I missed something. ))
Faiz: (( How many times can I use my Warden interrupts in a round anyway? ))
Imban: (( Threden did start his turn in the fire...! ))
* Imban rolls: 1d6 => 1
Threden: Threden loses 1 hit points.
Adric Kain: (( Technically didn't the wagon start its turn in the fire? ))

Imban: (( No, since the ogre moved it there ))
Imban: (( It will next ogreturn ))
Faiz: (( Well the stab was an interrupt, but I have a proper Reaction. Uh. ))
Serra: "Hey, you're swinging dangerous things around! For that, it's time for your favorite punishment, more mind frying for you!"
Imban: (( You only get one Immediate ))
Faiz: (( Just makin' sure. ))
Imban: (( and one Opportunity Attack, but that didn't provoke ))
* Tilus rolls: 1d20+5 Mind Thrust (augment 1) @ Ogre, vs Will => 6 + 5 = 11
Serra: (( Aww. But! ))
Imban: Not quite!
Serra: "Well, you got away from that, but... LOOK OUT YOU'RE ABOUT TO STEP IN MORE FIRE!
Ogre Savage: ?!

Hobgoblin Archer 2: Bugger this whole Red Hand thing! No one told us about robots and tieflings and death goblins and...
Faiz: (( Uh. Actually I think it's only been one turn since I got the second archer. ))
Adric Kain: "Nobody ever expects the tieflings, robots, death goblins, or mind-frying humans.
Imban: Regardless of 4 HP, the second archer flees the battlefield.
Faiz: (( Since I shanked him, thundered all three, then it ran, I opportunity-swatted it, then all manner of crazy shit happened. ))
Faiz: (( But yeah, he doesn't matter anymore~ ))
Imban: (( Adric! ))
Faiz: (( Anyhow, standard; Earthstrength mark, end, have fun Mechperson~ ))
Adric Kain: Now, speaking of robots!
Threden: (( Shame you didn't do that earlier! Hob 1 would have been dead. ))

* Gad mutters and stumbles toward the shop, shifting a square

* Threden rolls: 1d20+6 vs AC, Frigid Blast => 2 + 6 = 8

Adric Kain: (( The Monsters inexplicably explode ))
Imban: (( Since Faiz beat it, he RIDER KICKed it ))
Threden: (( RIDER SWORD ))
Imban: Everyone assumedly clears out from around the rapidly exploding wagon and waits for the fire brigade to come. Unless they can put it out themselves...!
Faiz: (( I have the biggest motorcycle handlebar and will gladly and liberally oblige to prove it. ))
Gad: (( I'll suck its blood ))
Faiz: HAHA. HMM.
Threden: (( Since I'm RADIATING COLD, I clearly should be putting out the fires. ))
Serra: "It would be a good idea to clear away from the burning cart, yes."
Imban: (( Well, that works too. The radiating cold part! ))
Threden: Redirecting chill to contain fire.
Adric Kain: Well another victory for us! .....and gods does his club HURT.
Faiz: YEAH, A BIT.
Town Guard: Quite impressive!
Serra: "Are the rest of you okay?
Gad: I was on fire!
Adric Kain: It's but a flesh wound. A large, bruised, painful, possibly bone shattering flesh wound.
Town Guard: Actually, there's no time to waste. If you'd follow us to the north, we're fighting them at the bridge over the Elsir River!
* Gad waves his singed arm, staring at it in amazement.
Serra: "How many more of these things are coming after the town, anyways?"
Faiz: WHAT AW, REALLY?
Faiz: MAN...
Gad: Huh? Wait, there's more?
Threden: Continuing operation.
Town Guard: ...actually, it looks like Sinruth's horde is retreating. Whew.
Adric Kain: Did you try luring them onto the bridge and then destroying it, sending them plummeting to their deaths in an impressive spectacle?
Town Guard 2: Well... no, but that would have been a good idea.
Faiz: HAHA. ROADBLOCK.
Town Guard 2: Here, the least we can do is let you stay in the town inn for free tonight. The town council might have a reward for you, so you should definitely stick around.
* Gad 's eyes gleam under his hood.
Gad: Right!
Town Guard: It's right here, so...
Faiz: FAME AND FORTUNE! I ACCEPT.
Adric Kain: Excellent. We are most appreciative!
Imban: (Not that it matters, but you should clearly move all your tokens into the inn.)
Threden: APPRECIATION: Thank you.
Serra: "Free room? Sure, I'll stick around."
Imban: You're all given free rooms in the inn and some of the little bit of ale that was saved from the bar, if you want it
Imban: Outside, you hear the sounds of people busily putting out fires and otherwise tending to the town.
* Gad finds a nice spot to hang upside down from
Imban: (( Do any of you have particular plans other than "relax and/or get drunk"? ))
Threden: Shifting to power save mode.
Serra: (( Not terribly, no. ))
Adric Kain: Free room and free ale? It'd be a good day if I didn't just get smashed with a club larger than the warforged.
Adric Kain: (( Nope. ))
Threden: (( Not really. ))
Gad: (( Nein ))
Faiz: (( SLEEPFOOD AND AWESOME ))
Imban: A common-looking but particularly well-dressed person comes into the inn, looking for you.
Gad: Ah! You found me!
* Gad falls from the celing
Adric Kain: (( Is NOM NOMS AND HEREOS the name of the inn? ))
Eoffram Troyas: (( MAYBE ))
Serra: "Oh? What's the matter?"
Faiz: (( Oh god it should be. ))
Adric Kain: (( Best inn name ever ))
Eoffram Troyas: So, I hear from everyone that the seven of you defended this town from the Red Hand this morning.
Faiz: I AM A ONE-MAN TRAIN OF MURDER AND FIREPROOFITUDE.
Gad: I heard there was a reward!
Serra: "That would be us, yes."
Threden: Affirmative.
Adric Kain: Indeed we did! We couldn't let those fiends have their way with this town like some drunken sailor.
Eoffram Troyas: Yes, that... we're actually in need of some more help. I'm a Councilman of Brindol, you see.
Eoffram Troyas: If you are the group I'm looking for, then, I'd like to speak with you all in person with it - and in private. Come this way.
* Serra follows.
Eoffram Troyas: Specifically, I'd like to hire a group of adventurers to chase after Sinruth's horde.
Eoffram Troyas: They took two things from our city, you see.
Faiz: (( "ENJOY YOUR PERSONAL SPACE WHILE IT LASTS, FLESHMAN." ))
Gad: What kinda things?!
Gad: Gold?
Eoffram Troyas: They seem to have kidnapped seven people, and also broken into the Hall of Great Valor and stolen six of our town's treasures.
Gad: Treasure... Mm.
* Gad rubs his palms together.
Faiz: THAT IS... SIGNIFICANTLY MORE THAN TWO.
Eoffram Troyas: Well, it's two TYPES of things...
Serra: "What sorts of treasure have they taken?"
Adric Kain: And who is it that they kidnapped?
Gad: But more importantly the treasure thing
Threden: OBSERVATION: The treasure must be important for this risk.
Eoffram Troyas: A helmet shaped like a dragon, a ceremonial longsword, a set of three shields, a pair of iron gauntlets, and a battle standard, apparently.
Eoffram Troyas: They're not very valuable in and of themselves, but they commemorate our victory over the Red Hand of Doom, many years ago.
Gad: Oh...
Adric Kain: That's seven treasures.
Serra: (( DETAILS! ))
Gad: (( Seven treasures for seven brothers ))
Threden: (( Clearly he doesn't know what these are anyway, so! ))
Faiz: (( Clearly two of the shields are duct-taped together and count as one. ))
Adric Kain: (( Double Shield. Oh my god. ))
Eoffram Troyas: The people kidnapped are Jalissa, an acolyte of Ioun, Sertanian, the castellan of the Hall of Great Valor, Thurann, a child, Mirtala, a cook, Zerriksa, an old woman, Adronsius the alchemist, and Kartenix, the captain of the guard and Thurann's father.
Threden: (( Hurry, get the Cavalier! ))
Eoffram Troyas: Regardless, I need to know that I can trust you before I send you out on a mission like this.
Faiz: ...SOME OF THOSE PEOPLE SOUND SORTA UNIMPORTANT.
Faiz: WHY WOULD THEY BOTHER?
Adric Kain: The red hand is a cult. Perhaps they mean to sacrifice them in some horrific ritual.
Eoffram Troyas: Wouldn't you put forth any effort to not let hobgoblins seize YOUR people?
Gad: Maybe they want to eat them
Eoffram Troyas: (( A SKILL CHALLENGE DESCENDS UPON YOU. ))
Serra: (( GASP ))
Faiz: I SAY MORE WHY WOULD THEY BOTHER TO KIDNAP THEM BUT UH. HMM.
Eoffram Troyas: (( Pick a skill and roll it in order to convince Eoffram that you are TRUSTWORTHY, GOOD FOLKS ))
Faiz:
Intimidate = 24       Rolled: 18     Bonuses: 6
Eoffram Troyas: ... :|
* Kaiterra rolls: 1d20+11 Thievery => 7 + 11 = 18
Eoffram Troyas: (( what ))
Threden: (( Just a normal d20+skill? ))
Adric Kain: (( Using Word of Friendship for +5 to Diplimancy ))
Eoffram Troyas: '/ooc THIEVERY?
Faiz: (( You say a skill. Intimidate is a skill. ))
Threden: (( YOU WILL LET ME GO OR ELSE. ))
Serra: "I'm quite knowledgeable of historical matters. For example..."
Gad: (( I want to pick his pocket, then show him something he assumedly dropped!!!! ))
* Tilus rolls: 1d20+9 History! => 13 + 9 = 22
* Mechalomaniac rolls: 1d20+14 We're the trustworthiest band of heroes you've ever met! => 8 + 14 = 22
Eoffram Troyas: (( Okay one second ))
Gad: (( To show him I'm helpful! ))
* Threden rolls: 1d20+12 Endurance. Because I'm clearly tough like robot. => 5 + 12 = 17
Imban: Faiz QUITE CLEARLY manages to piss off the noble.
Faiz: (( I am a big scary robot. This is what I do. ))
Imban: Gad's gambit... well, Gad isn't sure if the noble saw through it or not, but he seems appreciative that you didn't just jack his stuff, at least!
Adric Kain: The steadfast determination of the warforged is reknowned, and look at how fearsome he is. Clearly the foes will scatter inf ear of him!
Serra: (( I should've rolled Diplo though, yeah. ))
Threden: This unit is capable.
Serra: (( But I went History, because lawl. ))
Faiz: (( That said I'm going to pass off my Intimidate more as "Hey, look at me. Look at me. Did you see me turn into a fucking TIGER MOUNTAIN THAT WAS RADIATING LIGHTNING? Because I totally did that about ten hours ago. I will DESTROY THEM." ))
Eoffram Troyas: Well, I see that, but ten years ago, the Red Hand attacked, and...
Adric Kain: (( Yeah that's what I was trying to spin it as ))
Imban: Serra mentions that ten years ago, the Red Hand attacked. And got their asses kicked.
Eoffram Troyas: Well, yeah. You can probably do it again, especially since they don't have an infinitely big army this time.
Imban: The noble seems... confused as to why Threden is posing in front of him.
Imban: (( Okay so the current tally is 3 successes, 1 failure, and one... I don't even know. ))
Imban: (( You need to continue! ))
Faiz: I AM EIGHT FEET OF WALKING DEATH. ALSO LOOK AT THIS GUY. US BROS ARE GOING TO MESS THEM RIGHT THE HELL UP.
Serra: (( Continue as in, roll again? ))
Eoffram Troyas: (( As in decide what to roll and roll agian, yes ))
Serra: "...And as they say, knowledge of the past will help one succeed in the future..."
* Tilus rolls: 1d20+8 Diplomacy! => 12 + 8 = 20
Faiz: WHAT, YOU DON'T BELIEVE US? BECAUSE I WILL TOTALLY FIND THEM. AND THEN WE WILL HURT THEM LIKE WHOAH.
Faiz:
Nature = 12       Rolled: 6     Bonuses: 6
Eoffram Troyas: And you do certainly seem knowledgable. Can you be trusted not to accidentally smash the hostages and the town's treasures, though?
* Kaiterra rolls: 1d20+11 Stealth => 6 + 11 = 17
Adric Kain: The lady is indeed correct. We were able to fell the best they had today. Surely we can do so again!
Gad: I can disappear into the night and sneak past their defenses
* Mechalomaniac rolls: 1d20+9 Diplomancy => 6 + 9 = 15
Threden: We shall track them no matter where they may hide.
Adric Kain: (( Or do I have to roll a different skill? ))
Imban: (( Nope, that's fine! ))
* Threden rolls: 1d20+5 Nature => 10 + 5 = 15
Eoffram Troyas: I suppose. I'm a little edgy about the loud metal one, but... you'll all vouch for him, right?
Adric Kain: If you're edgy around him, just think of what'll happen to people he's allowed to kill without any consequences falling upon himself.
Eoffram Troyas: I'm mostly hoping that doesn't include the hostages, you know.
Eoffram Troyas: Or that he's better at finding his way around than he sounds.
Serra: "We can keep him in line if he goes a little too overboard."
Faiz: I AM JUSTICE AND AMAZEMENT.
Eoffram Troyas: You... you sure are amazement, yes.
Threden: This unit is amazed.
Eoffram Troyas: In any case, we'll provide any support we can, and a reward of 200 gold if you bring back the prisoners.
Eoffram Troyas: And another 200 if you bring back the seven treasures.
Gad: I like gold.
Serra: "Sounds good to me."
Eoffram Troyas: Speaking of thinigs you aren't to break...
Faiz: I WILL GLADLY TAKE YOUR THINGS IN ORDER TO TAKE MORE OF YOUR THINGS.
Eoffram Troyas: Eoffram walks to the door and gestures out of it.
Threden: Acknowledged.
Imban: Two guards enter, dragging a chained-up hobgoblin behind them.
Gad: HOBGOBLIN!
Eoffram Troyas: Feel free to get any necessary information out of him.
* Gad rushes it, but bumps into Adric from behind
Eoffram Troyas: I'll be returning to my offices now.
Faiz: HAHA.
Adric Kain: Oof!
Gad: Guh!
Adric Kain: Careful there. He might be useful.
Eoffram Troyas: (( brb getting a drink ))
Eoffram Troyas: (( yes, the NPC is ))
Gad: (( We're driving Imban to drink ))
Adric Kain: (( He's left the room. GO JACK BAUER ON THE PRISONER! ))
Faiz: (( OH GOD YES. I have just the thing. ))
Gad: Okay let's get a bag and a jug of water then!
Faiz: HEY. HEY.
Faiz: HEY YOU.
Gad: Or maybe some really sharp needles...
Threden: QUESTION: Creature. What is your name?
Adric Kain: Rats, coals, and a metal bucket.
Gad: Oh or maybe we can burn his feet!
Morrik: Morrik. And I ain't sayin' nothin' unless you people let me go.
Faiz: THAT DOESN'T WORK.
Faiz: BET I CAN MAKE YOU TALK.

Morrik: Mister horny dude please be the one to talk to me and get these terrifying people away from me ;_;
Faiz: (( Technically I can't use that unless I'm bloodied but I'm sure you'll agree that it's totally worth it for purposes like this. ))
Serra: "Oh~ You know how easily I fried the minds of your buddies, right...?"
Gad: (( HEY YOUR HEALTH BAR LOOKS BLOODIED TO ME ))
Threden: INQUIRY: Why would we believe you would not just bolt should you be released?
* Tilus rolls: 1d20+8 Intimidate go! => 19 + 8 = 27
* Threden rolls: 1d20+7 Intimidate. => 1 + 7 = 8
Threden: (( Oops ))

Gad: (( We are the scariest group ever ))
Serra: (( And Serra is the most intimidating of them all. ))
Serra: (( Despite being a clothy mage type. ))
Morrik: My mom is taller than you!
Gad: (( Hey we're even lady ))
Faiz: YOU KNOW IT'S GOING TO BE AWFULLY HARD FOR YOU TO TALK WHILE I'M MUNCHING ON YOUR SCALP. BECAUSE OF ALL THE SCREAMS.
Serra: (( Well okay. Tied for most intimidating. ))
Faiz: WHICH IS WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN WHEN YOU DON'T GIVE US WHAT WE WANT.
Adric Kain: (( We're playing Good Cop, Bad Cop, Really bad Cop, Worse Cop, I'm going to fucking murder you Cop ))
Morrik: (( 555 just roll Intimidate again already _ ))

Serra: "Alright, spill it."
Adric Kain: That's what we like to hear!
Morrik: Our group, the Red Hand, is led by Sinruth, a great Hobgoblin leader who will raise a great army and conquer all of these lands!
Morrik: We may be in the catacombs under the ruins of Castle Rivenroar for now, but we will soon rule the entire Elsir Vale!
Morrik: Is there anything else you scary people want to know?
Gad: (( WHO IS YOUR DADDY AND WHAT DOES HE DO?! ))
Adric Kain: Why did you kidnap the people from this town and why did you steal those treasures?
Threden: INQUIRY: Why steal the objects?
Morrik: Oh. We're going to give those people to the undead horrors that guard part of Rivenroar.
Gad: To eat?
Morrik: Or worse.
Gad: Or worse...
Adric Kain: Why is that?
Faiz: WELL THAT'S NICE. TELL US HOW TO STOP THAT THEN~
Faiz: OR A 'WHY' MIGHT ALSO SUFFICE, HMM.
Morrik: As far as the treasures, heck if I know. It must have been Sinruth himself who took them, since he didn't mention anything about it beforehand.
Morrik: Well, they live there with us. And if we feed them, they don't eat us. So it works out.
Adric Kain: So if we were to save those people and trap you all in there, the undead would eat your army instead?
Morrik: Probably not, no.
Morrik: You could certainly go to Rivenroar and die a horrible death at the hands of our army, though!
Morrik: I'll even draw you a map. To horrible death.
Morrik: Because that way I won't have to see you again.
Faiz: SEE, IT'S NICE TO BE COOPERATIVE, ISN'T IT?
Serra: "Now that wasn't so bad, now was it?"
Adric Kain: Hmm. We'll have to rescue them before they get back there.
Gad: Can you give us a map to all your guys' treasure too?
Imban: The hobgoblin finishes sketching out a map.
Threden: STATEMENT: Thank you for your cooperation.
Imban: It seems to show a path leading into the mountains northeast of here. With an X mark on it, with YOUR DEATH above it as a note.
Morrik: I'm sure what you're looking for is exactly there too, goblin. :|
Adric Kain: How big was the raiding party that attacked the town?
Gad: I know you guys hide it though!
Morrik: Well, yeah, I'm sure Sinruth hides all of his treasures too. I wouldn't know.
Gad: Get the snakes!
Town Guard: I'd say there were about 40 things in the raiding party.
Adric Kain: That left?
Faiz: ...'THINGS'?
Morrik: Look, look, I really don't know where all of our treasure is.
Town Guard: That attacked. You killed a bunch.
Serra: "And how large is this enormous hobgoblin army of doom that will crush us if we dare enter their lair?"
Morrik: Well... ... uh... there's maybe around thirty of us... but Sinruth can kill all of you no problem anyway. And then there's the undead...
Faiz: WELL WE'LL TOTALLY BRING YOU BACK SOMETHING NICE AND SHINY WHEN WE RETURN FROM SYSTEMATICALLY SLAUGHTERING THEM ALL.
Faiz: MAGNANIMITY ALL UP INS.
Faiz: FOR BEING SUCH A GOOD SPORT.
Morrik: Maybe if I'm really lucky Sinruth will let me have your head as a drinking cup when he tears it off.
Gad: Sinruth is going to die, because we're stronger than you guys.
Town Guard: That's enough, hobgoblin.
Faiz: HAHA, DISCIPLINARY ACTION.
Imban: The guards drag the hobgoblin off again.
Adric Kain: So, does anyone have a plan?
Gad: Follow the map and kill Sinruth and take his junk
Serra: "I'd really like to know more about this treasure and what this Sinruth person intends to do now that he's got his grubby hands on it, but it seems we don't have that luxury."
Gad: And save those people I guess
Threden: Approaching the entrance indicated may not be the best course of action.
Faiz: I PLAN TO DESTROY PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING THAT IMPOSES ITSELF AS AN OBSTACLE IN...
* Faiz looks over the map.
Imban: It's about eight hours of walking from here to Rivenroar, according to the goblin's map.
Faiz: ...IN "YOUR DEATH".
Serra: "We're best off following this path and trying to catch up with the Hobgoblin Army of Doom ASAP before their undead friends have dinner."
Adric Kain: The lady's correct. We can move faster than they can.
Imban: On the other hand, it's the evening now. If you leave now, you'll probably have to sleep in the woods halfway there.
Serra: (( Oh, I thought it was already the next day. ))
Imban: (( Nope! ))
Imban: (( Are the heroes leaving tonight, or staying in the inn tonight? ))
Faiz: (( I vote stay. ))
Adric Kain: It might be better to do our resting here and set out before dawn.
* Gad climbs up into the rafters
Faiz: YEAH IT'S... LATE. YOU'LL HAVE TO SLEEP SOMETIME.
Threden: This unit requires additional maintenance before departing.
Serra: "Indeed. And we should get up early so that we get a head start on them. They have to sleep as well, after all."
Imban: Everyone gets a good night of rest, and heads out next morning...
Faiz: LUXURY AND ULTIMATE EVEN FOOTING! I APPROVE.
Imban: (( Move your tokens to the new map that just opened, "Pass"! ))
Serra: (( Now loading, please wait warmly. ))
Imban: SCREE!
Gad: (( Suck it Imban ))
Adric Kain: (( Do we heal up? ))
Imban: (( Yes, a full night of rest restores all HP, daily powers, healing surges, etc. ))
Serra: (( Yeah, since you extended rest'd. ))
Imban: (( and sets you to 1 action point ))
Adric Kain: Adric Kain is healed and gains 14 hit points.
Gad: Gad is healed and gains 4 hit points.
Mechalomaniac: (( I'm the only one who used one anyway I think ))
Threden: Threden is healed and gains 0 hit points.
Faiz: Faiz loses 5 hit points.
Faiz: (( I SLEPT BAD OKAY ))
Faiz: Faiz is healed and gains 10 hit points.
Imban: (( Quite bad. ))
Serra: (( ~ ))
Serra: Serra is healed and gains 1 hit points.
Kaiterra is disconnected.
Tilus: (( Oh, noeZ. ))
Threden: (( Too much sunlight. ))
Imban: (( So, hour 1! Who will be following the map (Perception) and who will be guiding the group through the wilderness (Nature)? ))
Kaiterra has connected.
Imban: (( So, hour 1! Who will be following the map (Perception) and who will be guiding the group through the wilderness (Nature)? ))
Mechalomaniac: (( Welcome back Kaitter ))
* Tilus will be following someone else since she is horribly fiercely bad at both.
Gad: (( I CAN'T READ ))
Tilus: (( Bwah, forgot I'm no longer impersonating. ))
* Mechalomaniac is kind of ehh at perception and isn't naturey!
Faiz:
Nature = 11       Rolled: 5     Bonuses: 6
Adric Kain: (( pretend that was /me ))
Faiz: (( WHY DO YOU BETRAY ME SO, RANDOM NUMBER GENERATOR? ))
* Threden rolls: 1d20+5 Nature => 16 + 5 = 21
* Mechalomaniac rolls: 1d20+6 Perceiving! => 16 + 6 = 22
Adric Kain: (( I did it anyway ))
Threden: (( Clearly robot sensors at play. ))
Adric Kain: (( brb really fast though ))
Imban: (( All 5 of you have to make an Athletics and Endurance check! ))
Serra: (( I will suddenly become awesome at it next level, however, when I get history -> all other knowledge skills. ))
Faiz: (( There's too much grass here, it's getting in the way of me getting all up in my desert communion. ))
Serra: (( A-Auuugh ))
* Threden rolls: 1d20+12 Endurance => 15 + 12 = 27
* Threden rolls: 1d20+7 Athletics => 14 + 7 = 21
Faiz:
Athletics = 19       Rolled: 14     Bonuses: 5
Faiz:
Endurance = 16       Rolled: 6     Bonuses: 10
* Tilus rolls: 1d20-1 Augh athletics. A girl like me shouldn't be traveling like this, you know! => 19 - 1 = 18
Serra: (( Pfffft ))
Serra: roll 1d20+1 Endurance
* Tilus rolls: 1d20+1 Endurance => 16 + 1 = 17
Serra: (( Holy bleep I didn't do half bad. ))
* Kaiterra rolls: 1d20+1 => 2 + 1 = 3
Gad: (( AHHH D: ))
Serra: (( Despite those being amongst my worst skills. ))
Imban: (( what did you suck, endurance or atheletics? ))
Gad: (( Endurance ))
Faiz: (( "uhhhh" ))
Threden: (( Clearly too much sun ))
* Kaiterra rolls: 1d20 Athletics => 13
Imban: Gad is a bit tired out, but otherwise everyone seems mostly none the worse for wear after two hours of travel. Except Adric needs to brb.
* Mechalomaniac rolls: 1d20+2 Endurance => 6 + 2 = 8
* Mechalomaniac rolls: 1d20 Athletics! => 19
Imban: Adric is also a bit tired out.
Imban: (( Hour 3 of travel. Though, it seems like you got a bit lost due to Faiz's "advice". Who will be Perceiving and who will be Naturing this time? ))
* Mechalomaniac rolls: 1d20+6 Perceiving again *Pant* => 5 + 6 = 11
Faiz:
Nature = 10       Rolled: 4     Bonuses: 6
* Threden rolls: 1d20+5 Nature => 10 + 5 = 15
Threden: (( Aw, even with my great Nature roll last time? ))
Faiz: (( DAMN YOU, NON-HOSTILE ENVIRONMENT! ))
Imban: Faiz suddenly shouts LOOK GUYS, IT'S THIS WAY! and leads the party right into a nest of bad things.
Faiz: STUPID... GRASS.
Threden: OBSERVATION: It is not this way.
Faiz: IT IS HARD FOR ME TO GET IN TOUCH WITH NATURE WHEN NATURE IS BEING A DICK!
Serra: "Those certainly look like bad things indeed."
Adric Kain: I think I'll be leaving this part out of the book.
Imban: Next time on SC4e: The party runs facefirst into bad things!
Gad: (( AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH ))
Serra: (( Oh, noeZ! ))
Threden: (( Next time: Sun Vulcan and Fourze wake up and wonder where everyone else is. ))
