Tilus: (( yeah, you need an icon. ))

Blaine:

Ok now where am I

Faiz: (( Uh, nowhere. Actually. ))

Stuph:

i also downloaded into back alley, how do i get to umbraforge?

Faiz: (( I think Imban removed the last map you were in. ))

Tilus: (( Uhh, probably waaaaaaaaaaay back in the vents. ask imban to grab your token once he gets back. ))

Blaine:

Whee now I get to figure out how to get there

Blaine:

Top right, Select Map

Threden:

Forge's icon is in Back Alleys

Faiz: (( You exported your macrosets anyway, right? ))

Faiz: (( oh, so it is ))

Stuph:

Stuph:

load load load load

Forge:

Yeah it takes a while

Forge:

Oh hey

Forge:

We stopped having icons appear as we talk

Faiz:

Nope.

Mechalomaniac:

You have to impersonate

Serra: (( Yeah, you gotta impersonate. ))

Forge:

Oh I unimpersonated

Serra: (( Which I sometimes lazily forgot to do. ))

Adric Kain:

You sure did

Forge:

I impersonated and then moved

Forge:

Forgot it undoes itself

Mechalomaniac:

So Blaine hasn't seen my AWESOME new power yet

Stuph:

Taemhain:

Forge: (( HI DAIYA ))

Forge: (( Stuph meet Daiya the angry crystal ))

Osaou: (( OUT OF PLACE, YOU SAY ))

Forge: (( And Sharkgirl ))

Osaou:

whoops whoop

Taemhain:

(( Are they friends? @.@ ))

Faiz: (( I'm making Daiya's token my official Meteor Smash area of effect, haha. ))

Forge: (( That fucking bird ))

Serra: (( Oh yes, Osaou is an eagleshark panther. ))

Serra: (( A token of appreciation azar's patron deity, sun vulcan, gave to him. ))

Forge: (( I love how we have this incredibly silly looking crew, and the girl with green hair is glaringly normal by comparison ))

Serra: (( XD ))

Faiz: (( It was actually pretty goddamn hard to do anything with Serra because general lack of wacky distinguishing features, yeah. ))

Taemhain:

(( Hmm, should i actually zoom my token in i wonder))

Mechalomaniac:

Hey, Adric is 100% normal

Threden:

Normal for a demon.

Forge: (( Ah you need to set your stats too ))

Forge: (( Right click and select Edit ))

Taemhain:

(( yeah, i know ))

Forge: (( Kay~ ))

Forge: (( Also, /ooc ))

Serra: (( Yeah, I didn't give you that much to work with, either. Sometimes I kinda curse my complete lack of visual creativity. ))

Forge: (( It's actually really funny just by comparison ))

Forge: (( You're distinctive because you're not as distinctive ))

Faiz: (( Well I kinda just went completely off-the-cuff with Threden but I at least had some inspiration behind that. ))

Faiz: (( Faiz was... already somewhat an established design by the time the campaign started, haha. ))

Threden: (( FACE OPEN ))

Forge: (( I like my design considering it started out as a Pokeyman ))

Taemhain: (( whats the defense line? saves? ))

Forge: (( Yeah ))

Faiz: (( Just put your defenses in the AC line. ))

Forge: (( Just put your AC number and then the others behind it ))

Serra: (( what were saves in 3e are now defenses, but yeah. ))

Forge: (( Mine is listed in the input as 20 F16 R17 W15 ))

Faiz: (( AKFREW ))

Taemhain: (( k, think i got it all ))

Forge: (( Did you update your HP, Teals? ))

Forge: (( 40 seems low even for you ))

Serra: (( Yes I did. ))

Forge: (( Huh, kay then ))

Azar Macan: (( MAN I still have such terrible AC. well, next time we get stat ups, my Int will go up, so.. ))

Serra: (( Controllers all get hideously lousy HP. ))

Serra: (( And only get +4/level. ))

Forge: (( Ah, that's what's doing it ))

Forge: (( I get 5 ))

Taemhain: (( well its good to know my ac is on the low end of the party ))

Forge: (( You're a barbarian, it kinda comes with the territory ))

Taemhain: (( yeup, thats why i went for as much hp as i could find ))

Forge: (( Is Con a primary attribute for you? ))

Taemhain: (( yes ))

Taemhain: (( str, con, cha ))

Forge: (( Ok, you're good then ))

Taemhain: (( yeah, 6hp a level :3 ))

Forge: (( I was gonna suggest Auspicious Birth as a background, since you can put other stats into HP ))

Faiz: (( Still gettin' more than you then~ ))

Forge: (( Mine uses Dex ))

Faiz: (( Though you have Toughness to even it out, I guess. ))

Taemhain: (( yus ))

Forge: (( And Threden still trumps everyone ))

Forge: (( He is made of the most metal ))

Threden: (( He'd better, being the main tank. ))

Taemhain: (( hehehe ))

Taemhain: (( brb, getting snack from downstairs ))

Taemhain: (( rawr, sunflower seeds ))

Mechalomaniac: (( POLLO ))

Taemhain: (( go fish ))

Forge: (( Ok, I saw Mecha typing in the corner and nothing happened ))

Mechalomaniac:

I was typing in IRC.

Forge: (( Aha ))

Serra: (( ..."Soon" seems to be an awfully relative term today, isn't it? ))

Faiz: (( Hmmhmm~ ))

Mechalomaniac:

Hey Fleed, do you have a link to the picture you made of Adric?

Forge: (( Eeeyup ))

Forge: (( Fleed may have time to draw Stuph a dorf at this rate ))

Taemhain: (( lol ))

Faiz:

http://rocketpunchriot.tumblr.com/post/15354271317/

Taemhain: (( well i really like the icon i have so if he wants to draw something based off that >.> ))

Mechalomaniac:

Thanks Fleed!

Forge: (( Well we all had other icons, Fleed drew us all new ones so we better match what we consider ourself to look like and we all go together ))

Forge: (( Umb used to be a met hat ))

Taemhain: (( lol ))

Mechalomaniac:

Umb is a Met

Taemhain: (( the only thing i dont really like about this one is having gray hair ))

Faiz: (( OUTSIDER ))

Imban:

Back. I'll be running in ~5 minutes

Taemhain: (( oh cmon, thats an awesome token ))

Imban:

pouring myself a drink

Mechalomaniac:

Pour me one too

Forge: (( You could totally look like the guy from How to Train Your Dragon ))

Taemhain: (( lol, that would be hilarious ))

Forge: (( (I really liked that movie) ))

Serra: (( I used a ragnarok charsim to design mine, as I've done for most of my tokens. ))

Taemhain: (( it was awesome ))

Serra: (( I should probably look towards other MMOs in the future XD ))

Adric Kain: (( Dreamworks made a lot of good movies that year. ))

Serra: (( Ragnarok does not do devas or tieflings well. ))

Adric Kain: (( I liked Megamind and Monsters vs. Aliens too ))

Forge: (( I thought they made the dragon emote really well for looking like a giant newt ))

Taemhain: (( did you see the new pixar one thats coming out? Brave? ))

Forge: (( Megamind was fantastic ))

Adric Kain: (( I want to ))

Taemhain: (( plus the dragon made booms! ))

Forge: (( Oh yeah, just to restate this ))

Adric Kain: (( It has a character named Lord MacGuffin ))

Adric Kain: (( That is hilarious to me. ))

Forge: (( I will eventually make a Tiefling Fighter/Samurai named Ore Sanjou ))

Taemhain: (( im probably going to get stuck waiting to rent it, so broke this year ; ; ))

Adric Kain: (( ))

Forge: (( I know what you mean. I don't usually get to see movies until they're on TV or in the discount DVD rack :/ ))

Adric Kain: (( I don't know if I'll see that in Theatres. I'll be selling bodily organs for Avengers tickets if neccessary ))

Taemhain: (( lol ))

Imban:

SCREEE

Taemhain: (( oh noes! ))

Azar Macan: (( OH NOOOO ))

Adric Kain: (( Hey Imban, that Jackass Nerem was asking for you ))

Imban: (( Eh, fuck him ))

Serra: (( SCREEEE!? ))

Adric Kain: (( That's what I said. ))

Imban:

So, last time on SCales of War, our heroes killed the villainous Modra and dashed off into a SECRET PASSAGE that appears to lead to Umbraforge Tower, to avoid guards.

Imban:

They rested for a while in an ancient shrine.

Forge: (( Why does Stuph not have a health bar ))

Imban:

Now, their powers restored, they could either head up into Umbraforge Tower, or back to the Dark Foundry.

Azar Macan: (( and then Azar appeared through a wall with Forge and a Dwarf ))

Forge: (( There it goes ))

Imban: (( Because she didn't turn it on or take damage ))

Forge: (( I forgot we had to turn those on ))

Taemhain: (( i was just taking a nap in here, what? ))

Faiz: (( INTRUDAH ))

Azar Macan: (( SUN VULCAN HAS ARRIVED ))

Faiz:

HM.

Adric Kain:

So hmm...do we want to snoop around, or just get out of here?

Imban:

Oddly, the lost ancient shrine seems to have a lost ancient dwarf in it.

Serra:

"The guards should be gone by now. We should be able to go back through the back door of the Dark Foundry and then make our way back out of town. From there it's just a short journey back to the portal."

* Taemhain raises his giant hammer briefly, "Yo."

Faiz:

UAH--

Azar Macan:

Oh, So I ended up here. Hey guys!

Serra:

"Whoa, so there was someone else here before us?"

Adric Kain:

Oh good! We needed a replacement for....what was her name.

Taemhain:

"It's a nice place for a nap."

* Osaou waves

Faiz:

...Y-YEAH.

Adric Kain:

Congratulations sir Dwarf. You've been adventuring with us for a while now and we just avenged the wrongful death of your sister!

* Taemhain looks puzzled, "I had a sister?"

Azar Macan:

Wait, wasn't she a half-elf?

Forge:

I continue to question your sense of reality.

Serra:

"You apparently do now, according to our traveling scribe."

Adric Kain:

She's a dwarf now.

Taemhain:

"Oh dear."

Adric Kain:

Wait. Darn.

Azar Macan:

But that's bad writing since the last dwarf we met was awesome. and she sucked.

Adric Kain:

I already wrote the last book where it was a half elf.

Threden: (( Half-elf, half-dwarf. ))

Adric Kain:

Though I could fix it.

Serra: (( Yes! XD ))

Taemhain:

"Well, I was going to explore this place. Want to come?"

Adric Kain:

No matter! Want to come with us anyway?

Forge:

The logical conclusion would be she is half elf and half dwarf.

Forge: (( Dammit I was just typing that Umb :/ ))

Faiz:

DWELF.

Taemhain: (( man, now im picturing a female half elf with a beard, thanks a lot ))

Forge: (( That reminds me of an odd logistics leap ))

Forge: (( Orcs and humans make half-orcs, elves and humans make half-elves ))

* Taemhain stares blankly at the bard like fellow, "Well, I guess I can go with you instead of the other way around."

Forge: (( So orcs, humans and elves must all be close enough in genetics to cross-breed ))

Serra:

"Wait, isn't this tower chock full of shadar-kai? It would not be terribly wise to anger them, especially after one of them helped us out yesterday."

Forge: (( Ergo you should be able to make Elf-orcs ))

Forge: (( As graceful as they are hideous ))

Imban: (( in a few settings, you more or less can. In LotR, Orcs are corrupted Elves ))

Taemhain: (( in wow you get naga @.@ ))

Imban: (( no, that's half-elf, half-iono ))

Taemhain: (( lol ))

Taemhain: (( but its still corrupted elf ))

Forge: (( Half-iono, half-onion, all delicious ))

Adric Kain:

Well we could sneak out of the tower. Do we know how to get out of the shadowfell?

Serra:

"The same way we came in should work well enough."

Adric Kain: (( I thought Imban specificially said that it didn't work ))

Imban: (( no, it did ))

Forge:

Are we certain we wish to leave things as they stand? There is no assurance we can come back.

Adric Kain: (( Oh ok! ))

Imban: (( it was a two-way portal ))

Faiz:

YOU'D THINK THE ONES WE LET GET AWAY WOULD HAVE ATTRACTED GUYS TO THE... Y'KNOW.

Faiz:

PLACE OF MASS SLAUGHTER.

Faiz:

THAT WE WERE JUST IN.

Faiz:

AND A FEW MIGHT, LIKE, STAY THERE.

Taemhain:

"Clearly they realized there was just going to be more slaughter if they came back?"

Faiz:

HEHEHEH.

Faiz:

YEAH. YEAH, THERE WOULD BE...

* Faiz looks off to nowhere in particular.

Adric Kain:

Well, let's head back then.

Serra:

"Even if the guy that runs this operation is planning on invading our plane, there are supposedly already people here to fight back against it. We really should not be trying to bite off more than we can chew, so as to say."

Azar Macan: (( so come back here in five levels?! (no) ))

Forge: (( And then the heroes went home the end ))

Imban:

If you're headed back towards the Dark Foundry, move towards 1) and that map~

Faiz:

..."CHEW," HUH.

* Imban likes chew.

Threden:

CALCULATION: Previous area filled with hostile forces. If this tower is used by those hostile to previous target, then walking out of this location may be safer choice.

Faiz:

NOTHIN' WE CAN'T HANDLE.

Azar Macan: (( geez way to ruin part from lining up perfectly Osaou. I mean ))

Forge:

Though they may identify us as hostile to them and attack anyway

Threden:

ASSUMPTION: They may not be hostile as we have defeated their foe.

Adric Kain:

True, we did help them out.

Faiz:

YEAH, CAN'T WE GET OFF OF... BREAKING AND ENTERING... UNDER, UH.

Forge: (( I think Wolf is by far the best character to write out of a session, since she fits in your pocket ))

Azar Macan: (( Regris isn't actually here, huh. ))

* Faiz looks down, snaps his fingers. "COMMON ENEMY ARGUMENT...?"

Imban: (( He got squidnapped ))

Adric Kain: (( He got kidnapped ))

Adric Kain: (( Leo is not a squid. ))

Imban:

IS NOW

Taemhain: (( yes, apparently he is currently in oregon ))

Faiz:

HELL, APPARENTLY HE WAS KIND OF A JERK, WE MIGHT EVEN GET A REWARD OUT OF THAT.

Adric Kain:

Maybe.

Faiz:

AND IF NOT THEN WE CAN TOTALLY TAKE ONE.

Faiz:

FROM ALL THE DEAD GUYS.

Adric Kain:

Onward then, large, heavily armored people!

Serra:

"I suppose that is true. There should just be a regular exit out the front of the tower, and then we can make our way out of town from there."

Faiz:

BWAHA.

Forge: (( GO FREEDOM TRAIN TOOT TOOT ))

Taemhain: (( im slow ))

Azar Macan: (( go in the empty space stuph you are melee ))

Imban:

The secret door looks like it has a handle to slide it open from the bottom.

Threden: (( OPEN SESAME ))

Taemhain: (( oh this is an attack conga line? ))

Azar Macan: (( just in case...! ))

Adric Kain: (( Sure! ))

Forge: (( WE ARE FROM THE BAD FACIAL TATTOO CLAN ))

Forge: (( STATE YOUR BUSINESS ))

Threden: (( Please state the nature of your murder emergency. ))

Faiz: (( HELP THERE ARE GUYS HERE AND THEY AREN'T DEAD ))

Taemhain: (( hit them with sticks ))

Threden:

SALUTATION: Greetings.

* Faiz points at Threden, all "What he said" like.

Shadar-kai Witch:

Lord Sar--

Shadar-kai Witch:

Hey wait a second. You aren't Sarshan at all.

Faiz:

NAH.

Forge: (( STATEMENT: Threden ready to serve, master. ))

Taemhain:

Yo

Adric Kain: (( OBSERVATION: HK-47 is inferior me ))

Shadar-kai Witch:

That means you are INTRUDING MURDERERS.

Shadar-Kai Warrior 1:

GET THEM

Adric Kain:

You're half right.

Forge:

A lesser person would say "I told you so".

Taemhain:

Aweome, automatic status upgrade.

Adric Kain:

Why did we go this way and not the other way?

Taemhain:

Adventure?

Threden:

RESPONSE: That statement is mostly correct.

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

Faiz:

SO WE CAN DO THIS!

Azar Macan:

You know, you could've let us talk first. But if this is the way you want to do things...

* Threden rolls: 1d20+4 Let's Robattle => 16 + 4 = 20

* Azar rolls: 1d20+3 GO TIME! => 7 + 3 = 10

Faiz:

I'M TALKING! THIS IS TALKING!

Azar Macan:

THEN YOU SHALL FEEL THE POWER OF SUN VUL-CAAAN!

Forge:

I warn you, I am fully capable of defending myself if you wish to attack us.

Serra:

"Sure, you can call us murderers, if you count Modra as murder. But if "strike first, ask questions later" is more your style, then...!"

Imban: (( You can totally try to use social skills during combat as your standard action to get them to stand down. They just start off wanting to mvrder you. ))

* Stuph rolls: +3 => 3

Imban: (( wtb init from Serra and Taernhaim ))

* Stuph rolls: 1d20+3 => 18 + 3 = 21

* Imban rolls: 1d20+12 Shadar-Kai Gloomblade => 14 + 12 = 26

* Imban rolls: 1d20+6 Shadar-Kai Witch => 5 + 6 = 11

Azar Macan: (( so we gonna try to talk them down, then? ))

Forge: (( Oddly enough this is a good reason for us to kill all these guys, because they attacked us first like pricks ))

Faiz: (( Is skillin' for time-out gonna take up a Standard, or...? ))

Azar Macan: (( failing that murder? ))

Adric Kain: (( I'm going to at least ))

Imban: (( It is. ))

Faiz: (( Bah. ))

Faiz:

OH, WHAT.

Shadar-kai Gloomblade:

The light is drained from Threden's eyes!

Taemhain:

Well, that's not nice.

Forge:

I suppose that does it for diplomacy.

Imban:

Threden is blinded until the end of the Gloomblade's next turn!

* Forge rolls up his sleeves.

* Shadar-kai Gloomblade becomes visible.

Faiz:

TIME FOR OPERATION: FUCK YOU, BITCH.

Azar Macan: (( of course all of the robots who want to punch things go first ))

Threden:

STATEMENT: That was not nice.

Forge: (( Can blind people provide flanking? ))

Shadar-kai Gloomblade: (( No ))

Forge: (( Aww. ))

Adric Kain: (( If you move from where you are you're going to be AoO'd too ))

Serra:

"Now, now, let's not completely throw out the potential for diplomacy."

Faiz: (( We... can't shift? ))

Forge: (( I can shift, or are we doing that draconic thing where we miraculously can't because angled wall? ))

Shadar-Kai Warrior 1:

Despair devours you.

* Shadar-Kai Warrior 1 stabs Forge with her katar!

Adric Kain: (( Well ok ))

* Imban rolls: 1d20+13 vs. AC => 11 + 13 = 24

Faiz: (( wait what TWENTY-FOUR AC ))

* Imban rolls: 1d6+3 => 6 + 3 = 9

Threden: (( Considering that Imban let dudes shift through a wall, this should be fine. ))

Forge:

Shadow wraps around Forge!

* Imban rolls: 1d20+11 vs. Fortitude => 18 + 11 = 29

Shadar-Kai Warrior 1: (( you grant everyone CA, take -2 to attacks, and can't move in any way ))

Imban: (( except teleport ))

Faiz:

MAN I WAS GONNA AT LEAST TRY THAT "DIPLOM" THING BUT NOW YOU'RE JUST BEING DICKS.

Forge: (( Fuck diplomacy, get my raping hat. ))

Faiz:

LADY, WE KILLED YOUR MASTER'S STUPID PROBLEM AND NOW WE'RE TRYING TO GET THE FUCK OUT.

Faiz:

NOW I'M JUST GONNA HAVE TO DRILL A HOLE THROUGH YOUR CHEST TO DO IT, I'M TOTALLY PREPARED FOR THAT.

Taemhain:

I didn't even kill anything. I just felt like leaving.

Faiz:

I'VE DONE IT BEFORE.

Shadar-kai Witch:

...

Adric Kain:

You're not helping!

Shadar-kai Witch:

You appear to be my master's stupid problem!

Faiz:

I CAN BE A NEW ONE, SURE.

LADY I'M NOT KIDDING YOU BEST STEP OFF BECAUSE WE WILL FUCK YOU UP.

* Faiz has that awkward brand of diplomacy.

Faiz:

Diplomacy = 10       Rolled: 7     Bonuses: 3

Shadar-kai Witch:

Taemhain has received initiative.

Taemhain: (( so am i good with just punching something? ))

Forge: (( Fuck em up, I say! ))

Faiz: (( So did that like, do anything? I don't-- ))

Forge: (( They messed up my gi. ))

Azar Macan: (( Fleed seems to be going somewhere with this. ))

Serra: (( Hold up, we don't know the result. ))

Azar Macan: (( maybe with ACTUAL diplomancy... ))

Imban: (( Yes, it got you a success towards convincing them to stop fighting you. ))

Faiz: (( Ahahaha. ))

Forge: (( So we can sacrifice attacks to make peace with them and leave ))

Azar Macan: (( yeah just like...take total defense, I guess. ))

Forge: (( Or we can paid the walls with their entrails, take their expees and phat lewt and satisfy our bloodlust ))

Taemhain: (( sure, why not ))

Forge: (( paint* ))

Taemhain: (( im giving it till after the bards turn ))

Faiz: (( Can't Total Defense and parley at the same time. ))

Forge: (( You can throw out an intimidate ))

Forge: (( Barbarians are good at that, right? ))

Azar Macan: (( Stuph appears to not have any good parley skills ))

Taemhain: (( i dont do intimidate, i do smack ))

Faiz: (( Meh. Try it anyway. ))

Threden: (( Full defense ))

Forge has received initiative.

Forge:

I will warn you one last time. If I break free of this petty trickery and you continue to desire a battle, I will show you what these hands have done to organs.

Forge: (( Har. ))

Shadar-Kai Warrior 1: (( what kind of roll was the former? ))

Forge: (( Intimidate ))

Shadar-Kai Warrior 1:

Hmph. We are Shadar-kai. We have little to fear from a worthless golem.

Azar Macan: (( I can't, like...use Bluff as a roll in this, can I? ))

Shadar-Kai Warrior 1: (( Intimidate success ))

Shadar-Kai Warrior 1: (( Uh, you can, if you can think of a reasonable bluff. ))

Forge:

Golems are the playthings of wizards. I am a finely tuned machine for destruction.

* Shadar-Kai Warrior 2 cages Forge in gloom!

Shadar-Kai Warrior 2: (( and by 4ge I mean 555 ))

* Imban rolls: 1d20+11 vs. AC => 4 + 11 = 15

Azar Macan: (( so do we have to get all the succeses in one skill, or do all skills count towards it? ))

* Shadar-Kai Warrior 2 misses, ineptly.

Adric Kain: (( I assume all successes ))

Shadar-Kai Warrior 2: (( All skils always add up in skill challenges. ))

* Faiz just kinda glowers down at her.

Imban: (( sometimes they have a max from one skill, but this is an ad-hoc one, so ))

Adric Kain has received initiative.

Faiz:

WHAT'RE YOU DOIN'...?

Azar Macan: (( Hm, what's a good Bluff I can make... ))

Forge: (( It just depends on if they give up because they like us, or because they think we will rip off their heads and shit down their necks. ))

* Adric Kain uses Words of Friendship (+5 to next Diplo check)

Forge: (( Good cop/bad cop ))

Azar Macan: (( help me on this because I have fucking +16 to that shit ))

Faiz: (( Actually I guess Umb can't much do anything rebjection since he can't see that attack, right? ))

Imban: (( he can't, no. ))

Faiz: (( GO AWAY EMOTE FUCK YOU ))

Imban: (( you can't react to things you didn't know happened ))

Adric Kain:

Hey, parlay! We're not here to fight. We came here trying to kill Modra and were just trying to leave peacefully!

* Mechalomaniac rolls: 1d20+16 Diplo => 19 + 16 = 35

Faiz: (( Just checkin'! ))

Forge: (( Just bluff and say we've killed huge monsters that they would know of ))

Faiz: (( "We killed your stupid pig." ))

Faiz: (( "Also we made it BLINK OUT OF EXISTENCE for half a minute." ))

Forge: (( Help the intimidate process by lying about our power ))

Shadar-kai Witch:

...oh. Then why'd you break in the secret entrance? D:

Faiz: (( "WE CAN DO THIS TO YOU, YOU KNOW" ))

* Shadar-kai Witch turns on her aura.

Azar Macan:

Because that's the way we came after killing Modra?

Faiz:

PARTLY BECAUSE YOU JERKS WERE GUARDING THE NORMAL ONE.

* Shadar-kai Witch is surrounded by tentacles of shadow!

Azar Macan has received initiative.

Adric Kain:

We didn't know it was a secret entrance

Imban: (( Actually I was setting it up for Azar, partially. ))

Adric Kain: (( Oh ok ))

Azar Macan: (( wait, what ))

Azar Macan: (( Oh god what am I supossed to say ))

Forge: (( bluff about why we broke in ))

Forge: (( We got lost ))

Threden: (( AZAR, bluff as to why we broke into the secret entrance. ))

Adric Kain: (( That's not a bluff ))

Threden: (( We were chased by the guard ))

Forge: (( We came to tell their master we got rid of his problem ))

Azar Macan:

We were chased by guards into here, and we thought this way might be safer, and also to inform you that Modra is no more!

Taemhain: (( we didnt know it was a secret entrance cuz we found it so easy? ))

* Azar rolls: 1d20+16 VULCAN BLUFF POWWEERRRR => 20 + 16 = 36

Shadar-kai Witch:

Oh. ...oh. Uh.

Taemhain: (( super bluff ))

Faiz: (( SKILL CHALLENGE SUCCESS give us all your things ))

Shadar-kai Witch:

Sorry about all the stabbing, then. Stand down, everyone.

Azar Macan: (( VULCAN MAJOR SUCCESS ))

* Faiz shuts off his blood-eating sword. "DID WE JUST...?"

Adric Kain:

See, diplomacy works sometimes!

Taemhain:

"Apparently so. First time I've seen it."

Azar Macan: (( I like how the bird standing at the back of the corridor managed to convince them ))

Faiz:

I FEEL SOMEWHAT LESS THAN SATISFIED.

Forge:

You would do well to ask first in the future. We are not a group to anger without reason.

Adric Kain:

Not a group, no.

* Adric Kain looks at Faiz, offhandedly.

* Osaou just looks confused

Threden:

QUESTION: Which way is the exit?

Shadar-kai Witch:

"Hmph. At best you might have killed us, but this is a well-guarded fortress. You would have been killed before you got far."

Faiz:

YOU KNOW, IT'S WEIRD HOW MANY PEOPLE SAY THAT.

Shadar-kai Witch:

"The exit is past me and to the south, but you won't be going there right now. You said you wanted to inform my lord that Modra is no more, did you not?"

Forge:

They usually yelled about the red hand afterwards.

Adric Kain:

Maybe, but it'd be a shame to kill one such as yourslef needlessly.

Faiz:

YEAH... YEAH, SURE, WHY NOT.

Adric Kain:

Oh, I'm sure he'll want to know, yes

Shadar-kai Witch:

Follow me, then. You will note that I am not going to bother taking your weapons, as I don't honestly believe you will be so stupid as to try using them.

* Taemhain shrugs.

Serra:

"We may as well give him the news personally, now that we are here."

* Shadar-kai Witch opens the door leaving the library.

Faiz: (( "I DARE TO BE STUPID" ))

Forge: (( Not to mention she can't take mine ))

Forge: (( I AM THE AYLA OF THIS DALTON FLYING SHIP ))

Forge: (( Chainfighter, that just sounds lovely ))

Azar Macan: (( ugghh seething wraith I'm so glad we went with notfight ))

Taemhain: (( im more worried about the mad wraith ))

Serra: (( spiked chain or chain sword? ))

Faiz: (( Dark Haunter. ))

Faiz: (( Might you say he's... a Ghastly Haunter? ))

Imban:

In the next room you see a Dark One, flanked by a wraith, arguing loudly with two shadar-kai armed with spiked chains,

Forge: (( Hey does this place have couches? ))

Imban: (( Yes ))

Imban:

They seem to be arguing about treaty obligations or something.

* Azar Macan and Osaou chill out

Forge: (( We need to get ourselves an airship or wagon or something. And get couches. ))

* Shadar-kai Witch steps into the center of this area and begins levitating.

Taemhain: (( hell yeah ))

Faiz: (( And a grandfather clock. ))

Forge: (( 20 grandfather clocks ))

Faiz: (( AND A HAT ))

Taemhain: (( 20 will take up all the couch space ))

Threden: (( Threden suddenly finds that he is made of too much metal to float ))

* Threden feels himself be off-balance as he steps into the area, suffering a -2 Reflex and AC debuff!

Faiz:

...WHAT ARE YOU DOIN'.

Shadar-kai Witch:

This is a levitation lift. Will yourself to float upward, to the second level.

Faiz:

--OH.

Adric Kain:

Interesting.

Shadar-kai Witch:

You silly primes haven't seen one before?

Taemhain:

Some of us don't like floating.

Adric Kain:

I've read about them.

Faiz:

USUALLY I JUST PUNCH ROCKS AND THAT WORKS WEL ENOUGH.

Osaou:

Ra-roooo!

Serra:

"I've never seen one in actual operation."

Osaou: (( so is this floor a...forest? ))

Imban: (( A garden, yes. ))

Faiz: (( 24 goddamn AC. What a fucking cockblock. ))

Imban: (( It looks oddly like the garden you saw through the portal in the Black Shrine. ))

Adric Kain: (( Hey I'm not even hitting on this one! ))

Faiz: (( "Lemme fix that real quick" ))

Azar Macan:

Hm, this is...

Azar Macan: (( can I like roll something to go ! oh IC? ))

Faiz:

GRASS--

* Faiz rumbles a bit, shuffling around some.

Imban: (( I... dunno what skill would be appropriate so you can just go ! ))

Faiz: (( Insight? ))

Forge: (( Insight ))

Imban: (( Yes ))

* Taemhain looks around suspiciously, expecting elves at any moment.

Azar Macan: (( Oh then I have SHIT for that ))

Forge: (( Insight is your general memory stat ))

Forge: (( I'VE SEEN THIS BEFORE rolls go under that ))

Azar Macan: (( look birds have terrible memort okay ))

Faiz: (( Or, given the area, Nature. ))

Imban:

Speaking of that portal, the one in the southern end of the room flares to life, and out come four people.

Faiz:

UAH--

Azar Macan: (( I was gonna roll arcana originally ))

Taemhain: (( are they elves?? ))

Adric Kain: (( are they attractive female elves? ))

Forge: (( Fuckin' elves ))

Forge: (( All elves are attractive female elves ))

Forge: (( Even the men ))

Taemhain: (( unless theyre half dwarf ))

Serra: (( XD ))

Forge: (( THAT'S NOT AN ELF AT ALL ))

Imban: (( sorry, grid readjusted ))

Forge: (( IT'S A PANTHER ))

Taemhain: (( oh god, im going everywhere ))

Azar Macan: (( it's only 1/3 as good as Osaou ))

Threden: (( EAGLESHARKPANTHER ))

Forge: (( No see, Osaou multiclassed, this guy is a pure panther ))

Azar Macan: (( if we ever meet an eagle, a shark, and a panther in a single encounter, we're doomed ))

Forge: (( He has more of the high end panther class skills ))

Forge: (( Like Quivering Paw ))

Forge: (( *hold for groans* ))

Taemhain: (( is that where he pretends to be old just before he slaps you so fast you can't see it happen? ))

Faiz:

...

Faiz:

Insight = 9       Rolled: 6     Bonuses: 3

Faiz:

...HUH.

* Azar rolls: 1d20+2 VULCAN INSIGHT ANYWAYS => 6 + 2 = 8

Azar Macan:

...Hrm.

* Mechalomaniac rolls: 1d20+10 Insight => 12 + 10 = 22

Forge: (( Yeah that panther is a little stronger than Osaou ))

* Blaine rolls: 1d20 insight why not => 12

* Tilus rolls: 1d20+2 Serra's a scholar! Clearly remembering things is her forte!!! => 18 + 2 = 20

Imban:

Adric, you remember something from your book.

Forge: (( +2, so 14 ))

Imban:

That old man who took an arrow to the knee is standing in front of you now. In the Shadowfell.

Forge: (( Oh my god seriously ))

Faiz: (( oh dear here it comes ))

Forge: (( You seriously did that ))

* Threden rolls: 1d20+4 ROBOT MEMORY ARCHIVES => 1 + 4 = 5

Adric Kain: (( Yes ))

Threden: (( ARCHIVES DAMAGED ))

Taemhain: (( hahahaha ))

Adric Kain:

Huh. This is the last place I expected to see him again.

Faiz:

EH?

Azar Macan: (( wait when did this happen? a session I was gone? ))

Serra: (( Probably. ))

Adric Kain: (( When we went to the tea house so...probably ))

Serra: (( He was someone in that alms place ex-paladin tavern thing. ))

Sarshan:

I am Sarshan. I assume someone has an explanation for this.

Azar Macan: (( oh hey these guys have TURBO-MAX STATS ))

Faiz:

WE DID STUFF AND THEN THINGS. HOWDY, GUY.

Serra:

"Modra is now dead."

Shadar-kai Witch:

These people say they killed Modra, but then broke into your tower through the secret entrance.

* Taemhain mutters, "It wasn't exactly hard to find."

Forge: (( Wait SIX HUNDRED AND FIFTY ))

Shadar-kai Witch:

They claim to have done so to avoid the guards.

Forge: (( AND WE'RE EXPECTED TO FIGHT THIS GUY ))

Faiz: (( Ahahaha~ ))

Adric Kain: (( No, we're obviously not expected to fight himn ))

Threden: (( Imban said we wern't when I mentioned it earlier. ))

Faiz:

YEAH IN RETROSPECT IT WASN'T THE BEST PLAN BUT WE KINDA... DESTROYED... THAT LAST ROOM. MOSTLY.

Faiz:

IT WAS THE MIDGET'S FAULT BUT I DON'T THINK WE HELPED?

Sarshan:

"You are quite literally the last people I ever expected to see in my tower."

Faiz:

ALSO YOU HAVE SOME SERIOUS FOUNDATION ISSUES IN THAT ROOM YOU HAVE NO IDEA.

Sarshan:

"Normally, breaking into my home would warrant torture, death, and death by torture."

Sarshan:

"However, I have been told that an... incident of sabotage to my dark foundry has been thwarted, and that you may know of this."

Sarshan:

"And that furthermore, the traitorous Modra has been executed by... persons unknown."

Faiz:

...MAYBE?

* Sarshan looks at the party.

Azar Macan: (( so do we have like evidence from Modra's corpse or what ))

Forge: (( Did we actually kill him? ))

Adric Kain:

Modra was planning on sabotaging your facilities yes. And we killed him before he did, so...that would be us.

* Faiz turns to Threden with what can only be assumed is an "Is this guy for real did he even listen to me" expression.

Adric Kain: (( Ye ))

Adric Kain: (( Yes ))

Threden: (( http://www.big-metto.net/Upload/files/IMG_0292.PNG ))

Azar Macan: (( MAYBE WE'D KNOW THIS IF IMBAN HAD LOOT FROM THE SESSION ))

Sarshan: (( >.> ))

Azar Macan: (( *STARE* ))

Faiz:

BUT UH... YEAH.

Threden: (( Well, we don't need to have the loot waveform collapsed to show as evidence. ))

Forge: (( That guy's hand is on backwards ))

Faiz:

WE TOTALLY BARGED IN, SLAUGHTERED THE MIDGET AND HIS COHORTS AND BOOKED IT BECAUSE I SCARED THE HELL OUT OF SOME STRAGGLERS AND THEY RAN OFF TO ALARM THE PLACE.

Threden: (( So we can just say we're showing something of Modok's. ))

Faiz:

WHY ARE YOU SO DAMN FAMILIAR?

Adric Kain:

To answer the obvious question of why we did that, Modra sent assassins after us.

Sarshan:

Because I asked you, obliquely, to go kill Modra for me.

Faiz:

OH.

Faiz:

--WAIT WHAT OH

Sarshan:

So, uh. Yeah, thanks for doing that. In that regard, and for preventing the sabotage of my foundry, I am in your debt.

Adric Kain:

Does that mean no death, torture, and death by torture?

Forge: (( We'll take a dozen loot parcels and an order of exp then ))

Sarshan:

However, there remains the minor issue of your breaking into my home and seeing much of my personal operations.

Sarshan:

A mercenary's reputation thrives on honor, duty, and secrecy.

Forge:

We saw a hallway and these charming people.

Faiz:

HEY, WE KILLED YOUR STUPID PROBLEM BECAUSE HE TRIED TO KILL US.

Serra:

"It was either that, or get swarmed by an incoming onrush of town guardsmen."

Faiz:

I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON IN THERE. WHY DOES WHAT I SEE MATTER?

Forge:

I do not believe your operation is too terribly endangered.

Sarshan:

So, I have a simple bargain that balances everything out.

Taemhain:

"All I saw was an awesome couch."

Azar Macan:

That couch was comfortable.

Sarshan:

Especially since I like your attitudes. Join me.

Faiz:

...WHY...?

* Osaou nods

Adric Kain:

Hmm. Interesting proposal.

Sarshan:

Your skill at arms is clearly first-rate. I offer you a place to use and advance that skill.

Faiz:

MORE COMPELLING ARGUMENT.

Sarshan:

In any case, in a month, or six, or a year, your world will not be a place you would want to live.

Azar Macan: (( Oh god are we NON-STANDARD ENDING? ))

Adric Kain:

Oh, that prophecy of doom we found?

Taemhain:

"Prophecy of doom?"

* Forge tenses slightly, as his entire purpose sort of hinges on the world still being there.

Faiz:

LLLLLESS... COMPELLING ARGUMENT.

Sarshan:

So, yes. Join me, and serve darkness. It's much easier and involves less death, torture, and torturous death.

Adric Kain:

I recall finding a dooming prophecy back in one of the keeps we raided. Or maybe I made that up to make things more exciting.

Taemhain: (( im going with not joining him, just saying >.> ))

Serra: (( Yeah, me neither. ))

Imban:

Clearly at this point, a dialog box pops up with JOIN SARSHAN? >YES >NO

Azar Macan: (( can we pull out the remind time five minutes card and just GTFO? >_> ))

Imban:

YES has a skull next to it.

Adric Kain: (( And No doesn't? ))

Faiz: (( Oh god when did this turn into Soul Nomad? ))

Imban: (( No does not. ))

Azar Macan: (( HERO, JOIN WE AND YOU SHALL GET HALF THE WORLD ))

Faiz: (( --wait that option was awesome in Soul Nomad ))

Faiz:

I HAVE A QUESTION.

Sarshan:

Speak.

Adric Kain: (( See, in TOR the YES option was awesome ))

Faiz:

IS THIS GOING TO INVOLVE UNTOLD AMOUNTS OF VIOLENCE? LIKE, SOME CRAZY AMOUNT THAT WOULD ACTUALLY HAVE "EPIC" BE APPLICABLE TO IT?

Taemhain: (( in tor my yes option is so often "murder him" ))

* Serra just blinks. "Umm, about that... I have to apologize, but I can't take you up on that offer. I do still have things to do and people to protect there, after all."

Azar Macan: (( but this dude has huge stats and will kill us ahhhh ))

Adric Kain: (( That's mine too. My Imperial Agent leaves a pile of bodies in her wake ))

Taemhain: (( better dead imo ))

Sarshan:

I can't really say, though I'm pretty sure the world turning into a wasteland would involve untold amounts of violence.

Faiz:

...CLOSE ENOUGH.

Faiz:

DEAL.

* Sarshan squints at Faiz.

Serra: (( OH SNAP ))

Threden:

RESPONSE: This unit must decline.

Serra: (( FAIZ FACE HEEL TURN!? ))

Taemhain:

"So, uh, im just gonna go back down the elevator and head home now."

Adric Kain:

Hmm. Well given that I'm simply an author writing about their adventures, I'll deferr to whichever option lets me keep the most protagonists.

Sarshan:

"Well, I'm going to blow up the rest of you, th--"

Imban:

SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Forge:

My goals lie elsewhere, and I will opt to not derail it.

* Azar Macan looks conflicted!

Threden: (( Suddenly Lavos burns the tower down ))

Taemhain: (( oh noes, a scree ))

Azar Macan:

...SUN VULCAN WOULD NEVER JOIN EVIL!

Imban:

A horrible screeching sound comes from outside the tower, followed by a huge explosion!

Azar Macan:

AND IF THAT IS MY PATH, THEN I MUST FACE IT WITH ALL MY HEART!

Shadar-kai Chainfighter 1:

"My lord Sarshan, your foundry blew up and there's a giant spiky mass there now!"

Sarshan:

"Uhm."

Taemhain:

"Ooooh!"

* Azar rolls: 1d20+2 VULCAN INSIGHT WORKS => 6 + 2 = 8

Azar Macan: (( DAMN ))

Forge: (( Oh god is it 1999 already? ))

Sarshan:

"Alright, men. You continue speaking with the Dark One."

Adric Kain:

...Hey we killed Modra! We didn't know about anything else working agaisnt you.

Azar Macan: (( I was hoping for azar to go 'HEY IT'S THAT THING FROM THAT DREAM' ))

Sarshan:

"You four, follow me to the foundry. I will see what the problem is myself."

Faiz:

HUH.

Taemhain: (( quick, time to murder our way out of here ))

Sarshan:

"Thannu."

Thannu:

"Yes, boss?"

Azar Macan: (( we just have to kill this guy and get to the portal ahhh ))

Adric Kain:

He's going to say "Kill them" isn't he?

Forge: (( Thannu thannu ))

Taemhain:

"It seems likely."

Sarshan:

"If I was as cruel as my reputation implied, I would have you all tortured to death. I do like your attiudes, though."

Azar Macan: (( THANN A THANNU ))

Sarshan:

"Thannu, kill them quickly."

Thannu:

"Yes, boss."

Adric Kain:

I was mostly right.

Taemhain:

"Oh quickly, so he's the overconfident kind of super boss."

* Serra nods. "And I have the feeling that it will not go over well for them."

Faiz:

...WELP.

Forge: (( Welp I hope I go first ))

Thannu:

"Well, you heard the boss. So, all of you lie down face-down and I'll make this quick."

Forge: (( Because I'm within range of awesome. ))

Adric Kain:

Do we get a last meal?

Threden:

RESPONSE: Unlikely.

Thannu:

Dirt?

* Faiz raises a hand. "I'M JUST CLARIFYING. DO I COUNT AS A 'THEM'?"

Serra:

"Sorry, but I am not very good at that whole playing dead thing."

Thannu:

"Yeah, you do."

Taemhain:

"Face down?! What kind of pansy do you think I am?"

Thannu:

"Sorry."

Adric Kain:

I'd rather have a steak.

Faiz:

WELL NOW YOU'RE JUST BEING AN ASSHOLE.

Azar Macan:

I will never submit so easily, not before you have felt the power of SUN VULCAN!

Forge:

Tell me, Thannu. Have you ever been kicked in the face by a Warforged trained to dismantle buildings with his bare hands?

Imban: (( Initiative~ ))

Faiz:

* Serra will take the first history -> init.

Azar Macan:

Faiz, we'll get to kill plenty of evil things.

* Imban rolls: 1d20+12 Astral Panther 1 => 8 + 12 = 20

* Imban rolls: 1d20+12 Astral Panther 2 => 5 + 12 = 17

Faiz:

HAA. YEAH, YOU'RE RIGHT.

Azar Macan:

Besides, I'm sure the final wiping out of our home will involve some large-scale spell, and thus you wouldn't get to do anything.

* Imban rolls: 1d20+11 Thannu => 12 + 11 = 23

Faiz:

OH.

Adric Kain:

Hell, right now we're going to get to kill two panthers and a Shadar-kai.

Thannu:

Ahem.

Azar Macan:

That's how evil masterminds who plan these things usually work, right?

Taemhain:

Oh, I think he's starting.

Adric Kain:

Look you could have just let us all go in which case we would have never known about your boss' little plan.

Taemhain: (( oh god ))

Faiz: (( what is he even doing good god ))

Forge: (( Is the floor in the middle able to walk on? ))

Azar Macan: (( he gets BADSTATS for standing there, doesn't he? ))

Taemhain: (( hes coming for me! ))

Serra:

"Hi!"

Adric Kain: (( Oh right. Can I not fire him? ))

Imban: (( is fire also a reaction? ))

Adric Kain: (( Yes ))

Imban: (( if so, that is one reaction too many ))

Thannu:

Thannu is healed and gains 9 hit points.

Adric Kain: (( Ok, then I will not fire him ))

Imban:

You are restrained in gloom thoguh.

Serra has received initiative.

Adric Kain: (( Actually Fire is Free, not Reaction ))

Adric Kain: (( But I'll still not Fire him ))

Forge: (( If you can leave Thannu be until my turn, I can get 3d10 on him. Normally I wouldn't plead much but he's right there ))

Azar Macan: (( go plink the panthers, then? ))

Adric Kain: (( DPS THE ADDS!!!! ))

Serra:

"Hey, Mr. Gothscytheguy! The thing you're standing on is shaky!"

* Thannu is standing on thin air. No shit.

* Serra minor -> Distract -> Thannu. Next creature to attack it gets CA against him.

Forge: (( It's not difficult, is it? ))
