Imban has connected.

Faiz has connected.

Tilus has connected.

Faiz:

The good old tavern NOM NOMS AND HEROES.

Mechalomaniac:

Best tavern name ever

Tilus:

XD

Faiz:

(you're welcome)

Azar has connected.

Mechalomaniac:

I'm still trying to get ahold of Blaine. I have a feeling he's just not there at the moment

Imban:

NOM NOMS AND HEROES

Faiz:

FLASH HURRICANE HE'S DEAD« /AnxietyCat = Invalid expression: /AnxietyCat. »

Imban:

Also I think it somehow defaulted to the wrong map, rather than Rivenroar B2

Tilus:

yeah, it defaulted to the town map.

Imban:

Yeah that's wrong.

Tilus:

with NOM NOMS AND HEROES

Imban:

So apparently today we're playing a 3e module! ... sec while I find the files I should ACTUALLY be looking at

Tilus:

also, we did go into 16 last time, right?

Imban:

No, something came out of it

Mechalomaniac:

And we killed it

Faiz:

Nah. We punked the stupid goblins and immediately rested.

Tilus:

ah.

Faiz:

At least I'm pretty sure we rested... Lemme check real quick.

Azar:

oh god where is my token

Imban:

on b1f

Imban:

go pick it up and move it here

Azar:

...where the hell did you guys put it

Tilus:

ask lavos, he may have eaten it

Tilus:

apparently you taste like chicken.

Faiz:

Yeah, we rested at the end of last session.

Faiz:

You're on the stairs, dumbass.

Azar: (( I forget, does resting regain healing surges? ))

Imban:

A full rest, yes

Faiz:

Yes.

Tilus:

so I said we'd be fine, but wow is our party range reliant right now.

Imban:

And yes, Azar tastes like chicken

Faiz:

Yeah...

Faiz:

I'm kinda screwed.

Imban:

All gonna die!

Azar: (( hey hey ))

Mechalomaniac:

erik. Be back in a secon

Mechalomaniac:

Or well, a couple minutes

Azar: (( that theme I'm looking at has an (young) OWLBEAR COMPANION ))

Azar: (( which you would like Fleed, since it gives damage bonuses to allies against stuff right next to it ))

Tilus: (( but but but it's not a shark. or a panther. or an eaglesharkpanther. ))

Azar: (( I was actually thinking of rethemeing it to be a eaglesharkpanther ))

Azar: (( it's a fey creature, after all ))

Faiz: (( Clearly he's branching out. ))

Tilus: (( XD ))

Faiz: (( Go-onGokai Familiar! ))

Tilus: (( drrrr drrrrrr? ))

Azar: (( yeah, it's pretty cool ))

Azar: (( it's only attack is like...1d12 melee ))

Azar: (( and would be...+7 vs ac ))

Azar: (( oh, 1d12+1 damage for me at this level ))

* Imban stuffs Tilus into a Tilus-shaped hole in a wall

Tilus: (( ;_; ))

Azar: (( I mean sadly I have to command it to do stuff, but... ))

Azar: (( I don't move much so it might be a good idea to send it out as partly a distraction and helper ))

Imban:

By the way, I might as well ask here.

Imban:

Would people prefer +Regris or +Nerem if they had a choice in who to pick up for SC4e?

Imban:

Both of them have... somewhat expressed interest, maybe.

Faiz:

Reegrits.

Azar:

I don't have any perference because I have zero experience playing with either

Tilus: (( nerem would be consistantly present? ))

Imban:

...

Imban:

Actually, Nerem is at work right now.

Imban:

So, uh.

Imban:

I'm going to say no.

Imban:

No he wouldn't.

Tilus: (( ))

Faiz:

What is with you and picking up people for this game who aren't even available to play?!

Imban:

Nerem picked himself.

Faiz:

Oh. Well then.

Imban:

Both of those two PMed me rather than the other way around

Faiz:

STOP AGREEING

Imban:

WELL

* Imban stuffs Faiz into a pipe

Azar:

Still, this session is going to be ahhh if Blaine doesn't come back

Imban:

ahhh, fresh meat.

Faiz:

Or we can bust out THE GREAT PHANTOM THIEF

Faiz:

JACQUES COFFRE

Tilus: (( ))

Faiz:

(seriously though I kind of made a 4e sheet for him already just for kicks, even if it is L1)

Azar:

Don't we need to rescue the treasures for the town and NOT for ourselves?

Faiz:

Clearly the treasures have been taken to a high-security vault not in Rivenroar.

Faiz:

(which... isn't lying)

Tilus:

it is odd that we have yet to encounter any of the treasures yet. though they're probably all in the possession of our neighborhood friendly solo 2

Azar:

also if I retheme the Owlbear to be a eaglesharkpanther it gives me a kinda bad power but flavorfully it's HILARIOUS

Azar:

since it's..'change into a form simular to your companion'

Faiz:

HALF EAGLE

Faiz:

HALF SHARK

Faiz:

HALF PANTHER

Faiz:

...HALF EAGLE

Tilus:

XD

Azar:

sadly the actual effect of it is like...gain the aura, speed, and senses

Azar:

...and the aura is only range 1, and I don't *want* to be range 1

Tilus:

yeeeeeeeeeeah

Azar:

still, the damage bonus and allies and me eventually gaining CA against dudes near it does sound great.

Azar:

bonus for allies*

Mechalomaniac:

Ok I'm back. Sorry about that

Mechalomaniac:

And Blaine still hasn't replied so...

Imban:

Sadnefs

Imban:

So should I chew on Blaine or what

Faiz:

I guess...

* Imban chomp!

Mechalomaniac:

I'm gonna leave a last message telling him that we're playing

Tilus: (( Yeah, sounds like you get a second helping of warforged. ))

Tilus: (( Hope you like the taste of metal!@ ))

Azar:

...Isn't this thing meant for five people? Oh god we're boned

Tilus: (( 4e is thankfully very easy to compensate for fewer or more participants. ))

Imban:

Hey, don't worry. If you all die, I'll just eat that fight having happened .

Faiz: (( RETRY?? Y/N ))

Serra: (( Also I should actually impersonate my char ))

Azar: (( Man, I still do need to pick a theme...and that fey beast tamer is like...one of the best looking ones for me so far.) ))

Faiz: (( Well do it then. ))

Azar Macan: (( I'd need to make a token for it quickly then, if Imban allows it ))

Imban:

Uh, sure.

Imban:

On a less LOL YOU"RE ALL GOING TO DIE note, room 16 sure exists.

Adric Kain:

What say we go take a look at that room?

Faiz: (( "OKAY WHO PUT A PORN STAR IN THE DEAD GUY STORAGE ROOM" ))

Serra:

"Hey, for starters, why don't we check out that room over to the left?"

Faiz:

UH... WELL. HM.

Imban:

The next room contains three sarcophagi recessed into the floor, and a girl who looks suspiciously like the scantily-clad poster girl for EverQuest chained to the wall.

Adric Kain:

Hello there!

Jalissa:

Hi! ...it'd be awesome if you did something about these chains!

Faiz:

WHO WOULD PUT A PRISONER IN SKELETON STORAGE. THAT'S JUST MEAN.

Adric Kain:

I will do that!

* Adric Kain goes to unchain the woman

* Faiz idly kicks at one of the caskets.

Adric Kain:

I do hope those foul creatures didn't cause you harm.

Jalissa:

Well they did chain me to a wall. I'd consider that pretty harmful.

Jalissa:

That said, there's some treasure in that casket on the left.

Adric Kain:

Well fear now, you are in good hands now. We'll ensure your safe return to town.

Faiz:

UH... LEFT, YOUR LEFT, MY LEFT...

Serra:

"Well, we've cleared out the path back out. Once you're ready, you should be able to make it back to town with little fuss."

Jalissa:

Uh. My left.

Faiz: (( ..."fear now" ))

Faiz: (( NICE JOB FAILING THE ROLL YOU DIDN'T EVEN MAKE ))

Jalissa:

Also I'm actually a cleric of Ioun, so I should be able to get home on my own.

Jalissa: (( Faiz, strength check! ))

Faiz:

WELP. TIME TO DO WHAT DOES BEST.

Jalissa: (( or Athletics ))

Faiz:

Athletics = 19       Rolled: 8     Bonuses: 11

Imban: (( or Violence ))

Imban:

Faiz, you think you should make a Violence check.

Imban:

It's stuck.

Faiz:

...BE RIGHT BACK.

Faiz:

Melee Charge • Standard Action • Weapon I DEMAND YOUR FACE!! Attack = 15 vs. AC       Rolled: 6     Bonuses: 9 Damage = 10   Physical       Rolled: 6     Bonuses: 4

Serra:

"Oh boy, here he comes."

Imban:

Faiz shouts something about giving him the sarcophagus's face and ends up tearing a skull out through the top of the sarcophagus.

* Adric Kain tries to remain straightfaced as the coffin behind him is violenced.

Imban:

...there's also two treasure parcels in there, so.

Faiz:

...I HAVE A FACE.

Serra: (( I totally should've been the one to make the violence check. Go go mind blasting the sarcophagus! ))

Adric Kain:

Excellent work, Faiz.

* Faiz waves the greatsword at Serra. "CHECK IT OUT."

Azar Macan: (( hey, Imban. I have never used my ultiity for level 2. can I switch it to be the fey beat tamer's? ))

Imban: (( Sure? ))

Imban: (( I mean, you could also respec that at level 3, but ))

Azar Macan: (( cool, because it's a heal spell for my companion. ))

Serra:

"Oh hey, that is one great looking sword."

Faiz:

BWAHA.

* Faiz takes a look at the impaled skull.

Imban:

It's dead.

Faiz:

MEH.

Adric Kain:

Well...I believe that's another of the prisoners accounted for, yes?

Serra: (( How many are we up to now, again? ))

Imban:

Indeed. You're fairly sure you've recovered all but one prisoner.

Serra: (( Was that #5 or #6? ))

Adric Kain:

(I think that's 5 counting the dead guy)

Adric Kain:

After we finish this cretins I'll be certain to stop by and ensure you returned to town safely, milady.

Imban:

Nope. You recovered Zerriksa, Andronsius, Sertanian, Mirtala, and the corpse of Kartenix on B1F

Imban:

And now Jalissa on B2F

Imban:

Only one left

Faiz:

YOU'RE KINDA HOPELESS, HUH...?

Adric Kain:

Nonsense, I am filled with nothing but hope.

* Faiz crosses his arms and rumbles, turning around.

Serra:

"So that's six accounted for. Only one captive and all of the town treasure left to find. I wonder why we haven't come across any of the treasure yet..."

Adric Kain:

They likely hoarded it.

Faiz:

OR IT'S NOT EVEN HERE ANYMORE.

Imban: (( I eated it. ))

Faiz:

W-WELL. IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE FOR US TO KNOW?

Jalissa:

Yeah, I saw the young boy who was taken close by around here.

Serra:

"Well, let's keep looking, then. We're bound to at least come across some clue to its' whereabouts eventually."

Faiz:

OH. SEE, THAT'S HELPFUL.

* Serra nods. "Thanks for the assistance, and take care in your journey back."

Adric Kain:

As helpful as you are radiant. Safe travels, milady.

Jalissa:

Thank you. Best of luck in bringing back the boy safely.

* Faiz scratches at his helmet and just sorta stares...

Imban:

That said, there's two ways to go from here: Into room 20, or north into the crossroads between rooms 17, 18, and 19.

Adric Kain:

I wonder if she's single.

Serra:

"Alright, let's take a look through one of the other doors, then. Any preference?"

Faiz:

GOD.

Azar Macan:

HEY GUYS!

Faiz:

UH, HI.

Serra:

"Hey there, Azan--- Wait, what is that that's following you?"

Faiz: (( ...man ))

Adric Kain:

...is that a...

Faiz: (( Everything looks like a big boss fight room to me, here. ))

Azar Macan:

While I was away, Sun Vulcan granted me an ally!

Adric Kain: (( I dunno. 20 looks pretty normal ))

Faiz:

SUPER.

Not an Owlbear:

Rargle.

Faiz: (( Well okay other than that and maybe 17. ))

Serra:

"So I see!"

Adric Kain:

What...is it?

Azar Macan:

An EAGLESHARKPANTHER, of course.

Faiz:

...W-WHY DOES THAT SOUND... WRONG...?

Serra:

"An... eagle...shark...panther? Such things exist?"

Faiz:

I MEAN REALLY, TWO IS ENOUGH...

Adric Kain:

It is some kind of odd chimera.

Azar Macan:

It's from the fey realm. It's, well...

Azar Macan:

You know how that place is.

Serra:

"True, true."

* Faiz stares down at the floor a bit. "NOT... REALLY."

Adric Kain:

Imagine what you would picture in a fever dream after having gotten drunk and smoked devilweed.

Adric Kain:

Then give yourself a concussion and you have the Feywild.

Faiz:

THAT'S WHAT YOU SEE?

Imban:

Adric seems to be mistaking the Feywild for some of the more fun parts of the Elemental Chaos. Bardic license, I suppose.

* Faiz looks around a bit. "SO, UH."

Adric Kain:

Well...it was a colorful explanation.

Azar Macan:

Anyways, we should venture forth to vanquish more of the Red Hand!

Adric Kain:

Up the stairs, or out the other door?

* Serra pulls out a single gold piece.

* Tilus rolls: 1d2 => 2

* Serra flips it in the air, it lands on "tails".

Serra:

"Let's try going right."

Adric Kain:

Your right or Faiz's right?

Faiz:

MONEY HASN'T REALLY STEERED ME WRONG YET...

* Adric Kain shrugs and follows giant robot man

Serra: (( I'm facing the stairs, so my right = Faiz's right = up on the map. ))

Adric Kain:

It won't eat us, will it?

Faiz:

YOU, MAYBE.

* Faiz looks around a bit.

Serra:

"It might have a taste for metal. Who knows."

Adric Kain:

Just hope an Eaglesharkrustmonster doesn't exist.

Faiz:

I... HRRF.

Not an Owlbear:

Mrrr...

Imban:

The crossroads are empty. Which way would you go from here?

Adric Kain:

Have a three sided coin?

Serra:

"And we hit another dead end. Anyone have a preference this time?'

Serra:

"Unfortunately, no I don't."

Faiz:

...WELL.

Azar Macan:

Hm.

* Faiz peers down the stairs...?

Faiz:

Perception = 18       Rolled: 11     Bonuses: 7

* Adric Kain does as well

Imban:

A still pool of water dominates this room, which is noticeably more humid than others inside the catacombs. A sheen of water droplets covers the walls.

Faiz:

...OH THAT'S JUST GREAT.

Azar Macan:

..What does this mean?

* Faiz hefts his greatsword and makes his way down the stairs rather, er, cautiously. Fuck this castle so much.

Adric Kain:

Were it a bath, it'd be the least likely place to find more of our foes.

* Serra looks up at the ceiling above the huge puddle of water.

Imban:

The ceiling is as damp as the walls, but seems unremarkable.

* Adric Kain takes a look at the water to see if it's magical in any way.

* Mechalomaniac rolls: 1d20+8 Arcana => 11 + 8 = 19

* Serra ditto.

* Tilus rolls: 1d20+10 Arcana => 19 + 10 = 29

* Azar Macan the same

* Azar rolls: 1d20+7 => 7 + 7 = 14

Azar Macan: (( I AM THE LEAST MAGICAL ))

* Faiz kicks at the floor a little.

Faiz:

Nature = 8       Rolled: 1     Bonuses: 7

Imban:

The water is quite unnaturally still right now. Maybe something would happen if you touched it.

Faiz: (( WATER, MY NEMESIS ))

Imban:

...actually, Faiz kicked a pebble into it.

Imban:

Ripples across the surface of the water seem to show strange, flickering scenes momentarily before vanishing.

Faiz: (( I am the WORST shaman EVER. ))

Adric Kain: (( Good thing you're not a shaman! ))

Adric Kain:

Well that was interesting.

Imban:

You see a room with four sarcophagi in it, two of them broken.

Azar Macan:

...Wait a moment...

Faiz:

...E-ER.

Imban:

Next is a room with a displacer beast statue and an altar with a raven on it. You think you see a slimegirl in the room for a second.

* Mechalomaniac rolls: 1d20+8 Arcana is this a scrying pool? => 4 + 8 = 12

Imban:

Next is an empty room.

* Azar rolls: 1d20+7 hey is it a scrying pool BETTER => 3 + 7 = 10

Imban:

Next is a room with a single sarcophagus. A ridged helmet sits atop the sarcophagus, and a massive hobgoblin in spiked armor is regarding it.

Azar Macan: (( FUCK ))

* Tilus rolls: 1d20+10 I scry with my little eye a scrying pool? => 19 + 10 = 29

Faiz: (( HEY GUESS WHERE THE SOLO IS GUYS ))

Imban:

Next is an empty room with four heavy square columns near the corners.

Azar Macan: (( oh god should we even attempt that ))

Imban:

Next is a shrine with pews and an obelisk. At the base of the obelisks are shattered shields with the Red Hand insignia on them.

Imban:

Next is a room with two thrones next to each other. One has a skeleton, and the other has a biped of uncertain race.

Imban:

Next is an empty room with funerary alcoves in the walls.

Imban:

Last is a room with two jail cells, both empty.

Imban:

Also, yes. Even a complete fool could tell that they're looking into a scrying pool.

Faiz:

WELL. WHAT NOW?

Zombie:

?

Serra:

"Is it just me or were each of those locations places where prisoners were taken?

Faiz:

WE JUST... KIND OF SCOUTED THE ENTIRE CASTLE, DIDN'T WE?

Zombie:

...fresh meat. :

Azar Macan:

ZOMBIE

Faiz:

HUH?

* Azar Macan turns around and points

Serra:

"Oh great, we must've woken up the dead."

* Faiz turns and looks up the stairs. "HUH."

* Faiz rolls his shoulders and kicks at the ground again. "WELL. FINE."

Faiz:

Initiative = 22       Rolled: 20     Bonuses: 2

* Azar rolls: 1d20+2 GO TIME! => 9 + 2 = 11

* Imban rolls: 1d20-1 ZOMBEH => 14 - 1 = 13

* Azar rolls: 1d20+2 GO TIME! (eaglesharkpanther) => 11 + 2 = 13

Serra:

roll 1d20+1 Go go init!

Imban: (( I'm pretty sure pets move on your initiative, no? ))

* Tilus rolls: 1d20+1 Go go init! => 6 + 1 = 7

Azar Macan: (( oh that's what it means then ))

* Imban rolls: 1d20+8 ghouls are apparently, fucking fast => 14 + 8 = 22

* Imban rolls: 1d20+8 ghouls are apparently, fucking fast => 3 + 8 = 11

Imban: (( Adric, init ))

* Mechalomaniac rolls: 1d20+2 Init => 15 + 2 = 17

Faiz has received initiative.

Adric Kain: (( Sorry, was dealing with wanting to rip my teeth out of my mouth ))

Imban: (( oh dear ))

Faiz: (( HRRRRM. ))

* Faiz lashes out at the zombie with DEATH ROCKS

Faiz:

Zombie 1:

Zombie 1 loses 9 hit points.

Serra: (( Luckily we're in a narrow passgeway where Faiz alone can bottleneck the whole horde out of our faces. ))

Imban:

Ghoul #1 lashes out with its scything claws at Faiz!

Azar Macan: (( and the thing which I need to name ))

* Imban rolls: 1d20+12 scythe => 1 + 12 = 13

Adric Kain has received initiative.

Faiz: (( Missed so hard it tears a chunk of the zombie instead~ ))

Azar Macan: (( PLUS TWELVE TO HIT REALLY. ))

Imban: (( yeeeup. Also note that I debuffed all the ghouls' defenses by 3 ))

Faiz: (( Oh what the FUCK. ))

Azar Macan: (( WHAT THE FUCK. ))

* Adric Kain plays a tune on the flute toward Zombie 1

Serra: (( Wow. ))

Adric Kain:

You stink!

Faiz: (( I still only have a 50% chance to hit these guys even AFTER the defense nerf! Good fucking god. ))

Imban:

Adric is not terribly effective with his insults.

Adric Kain:

Zombie 1:

...Hugz?

Faiz:

UGH.

* Imban rolls: 1d20+4 vs. Faiz's Fortitude => 6 + 4 = 10

Azar Macan has received initiative.

* Faiz punches the zombie out of the way.

Azar Macan:

Go...there!

Azar Macan:

And you, foul Zombie!

Serra: (( And sadly, this is an appropriate usage for DOKKAAAAN!. ))

Azar Macan:

*ka-curse*

Azar Macan: (( what was the mark we used for cursing again ))

Faiz: (( So it is. SUCKS TO BE YOU ))

Zombie 1: (( other 1 ))

* Azar Macan pulls his arm back, then unleashes a bolt of energy!

Azar Macan:

Faiz: (( What's the, uh, everything on that aura anyhow? ))

Azar Macan: (( hey, it says..all damage rolls ))

Azar Macan: (( 'Allies gain a +2 power bonus to damage rolls against enemies in the aura' ))

Zombie 2:

Hugz?

Azar Macan: (( so is cursing a damage roll? ))

Imban: (( no ))

Imban: (( It's part of your damage roll. ))

Azar Macan: (( okay! ))

Faiz: (( I'd be ashamed that the birdcatfish has better defenses than me but it has better defenses than pretty much ALL OF US, really. ))

* Imban rolls: 1d20+4 hugz vs. Eagle Shark Panther => 15 + 4 = 19

Adric Kain: (( I love the zombie token image by the way ))

Not an Owlbear:

Brar.

Zombie 2:

The zombie is now grabbing onto the EAGLE SHARK PANTHER, immobilizing both of them. The ESP in question can make an Acrobatics or Athletics check to escape on its turn.

Azar Macan: (( ...it doesn't list skills. so I assume just 1d20, or 1d20+applying attribute bonus? ))

Faiz: (( What's your aura range for that, anyhow? ))

Azar Macan: (( aura 1. ))

Ghoul 2:

NOM!

* Imban rolls: 1d20+10 devour the eaglesharkpanther (vs. AC) => 5 + 10 = 15

Serra has received initiative.

Not an Owlbear:

Bwrar!

Faiz: (( Does moving the zombie move the familiar too or would that break hold...? ))

* Serra concentrates, and suddenly conjures forth a gigantic crackling ball of lightning behind the horde of undead!

Ghoul 2: (( it would break the hold ))

Faiz: (( YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO, MECHPERSON ))

Adric Kain: (( I SURE DO ))

Serra: (( Done ))

Imban: (( does that *do* anything? >_> ))

Faiz has received initiative.

Serra: (( Not immediately. ))

Adric Kain: (( it's the Dokkan thing ))

Azar Macan: (( it's a delayed explosion ))

Imban: (( oh ok ))

* Faiz rears back!!

Serra: (( Anyone who would've been adjacent to it at the start of their turn would've been slowed, but that's nobody ))

Faiz: (( --oh goddamit, phonecall, one moment ))

Adric Kain: (( It's just me. ))

Adric Kain: (( Hey, wassup Fleed. ))

Adric Kain: (( Actually Tilus and I are probably the only ones old enough to remember those commercials ))

Azar Macan: (( hey I saw them ))

Serra: (( XD ))

Adric Kain: (( When you were 8? ))

Serra: (( waasssssssaaaaaaaaaaaap~ ))

Azar Macan: (( ...probably! ))

Adric Kain: (( Sazaaaaaaaaaaaaabi. ))

Faiz: (( Still here, almost done. ))

If targets inside the zone attempt to leave, they are knocked prone and take 2 damage.

Faiz: (( 16 EVERYONE. ))

Azar Macan: (( can I assume it's just 1d20+applying attribute for skills checks? ))

Faiz: (( Well, except for grapplezombie. ))

Ghoul 1:

Ghoul 1 loses 16 hit points.

Ghoul 2:

Ghoul 2 loses 16 hit points.

Zombie 1:

Zombie 1 loses 9001 hit points.

Faiz: (( --holy crap what ))

Serra: (( wha ))

Azar Macan: (( uh, not ghoul 1 ))

Azar Macan: (( it's out of range for the aura ))

Ghoul 1:

Ghoul 1 is healed and gains 2 hit points.

Faiz: (( ...DUDE. Sigh. ))

Imban:

Your critical blow instantly destroys the zombie in front of you!

Faiz: (( So that's how it works. ))

Azar Macan: (( aura range 1. 1 square around it. ))

Faiz: (( Well I thought it affected YOU, not the TARGET. ))

Faiz: (( Who cares~ ))

Faiz: (( THAT WOULD BE BAD. ))

Imban: (( I think it would, but definitely not from *that* angle ))

Faiz: (( Well I just mean in general. ))

Imban: (( sinec we were talking about that earlier ))

Azar Macan: (( I dunno if it does in this formation. the level 5 feature is for only me in its aura ))

Imban: (( ah ))

Serra:

"I don't like how accurate you are. So it's time for you to feel the weight of your horrible dead-ness!"

Faiz: (( Since I can still shift, MAYBE. ))

Azar Macan: (( but I can do opportunity attacks, sooo ))

Imban: (( oh ok, then it should give CA if flanking ))

* Tilus rolls: 1d20+6 Dishearten @ Ghoul 1, vs Will => 15 + 6 = 21

* Azar rolls: 1d6 VULCAN JUDGEMENT! => 4

Ghoul 1:

Ghoul 1 loses 4 hit points.

Azar Macan:

You sure didn't.

Imban:

The ghoul catches the sun. In the face.

Imban:

It is surprisingly fatal.

Adric Kain has received initiative.

Adric Kain:

Is that all of them?

Imban:

That bout of violence concluded, the party can relax, stare at the scrying pool again, or do whatever. Also, Faiz notices from his current vantage point that the door to room 19 was opened since the party went down the stairs.

Azar Macan:

Seem so.

Serra:

"Looks like it."

Adric Kain:

Catch a rest then, and we can continue on.

Faiz:

...DOOR HERE'S OPEN.

Serra:

"Oh?

* Serra walks up to take a look.

Faiz: (( +4 for Mechperson bustin' out the tunes, right? ))

Adric Kain: (( Yeah ))

Imban:

The middle of this room has a sunburst mosaic in it. Passageways head west then north, north then east, and back east the way you came.

Azar Macan: (( oh hey here's an awesome thing. this is a short rest, right? ))

Faiz:

Faiz is healed and gains 13 hit points.

Imban: (( Yes ))

Not an Owlbear:

Not an Owlbear is healed and gains 9 hit points.

Azar Macan: (( it auto-regains all for a short rest ))

Imban:

As soon as Faiz steps into the room, the sunburst mosaic glows with dark energy and the lights dim.

Azar Macan: (( unless we get attacked, my meta-gaming says we should delay the rest of this portion until we have the rest of party is back ))

Imban:

...that's about it, though.

Faiz:

AW, JEEZ. WHAT.

* Serra walks up to the door and looks at... well that answered her question real quick.

* Azar rolls: arcana 1d20+7 WHAT KIND OF MAGIC IS HERES => Invalid expression: arcana 1d20+7 WHAT KIND OF MAGIC IS HERES.

* Faiz throws up his hands and looks at the more arcana-inclined majority of the party. "I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING."

* Azar rolls: 1d20+7 arcana: WHAT KIND OF MAGIC IS HERES => 12 + 7 = 19

* Tilus rolls: 1d20+10 Arcana here gogo => 20 + 10 = 30

* Mechalomaniac rolls: 1d20+8 Arcana what is this? => 12 + 8 = 20

Azar Macan: (( WORST AT MAGIC ))

Imban:

Serra can clearly tell that, for whatever reason, the black sun mosaic here will refresh the life force of any undead standing in it.

Faiz: (( You're a space wizard, not a wizard wizard! ))

Imban:

It's a good thing you didn't fight those ghouls here!

Imban:

It won't do anything to living beings, though.

Serra:

"The sunburst here recovers the life force to any undead who step in it."

Faiz:

...OH. THAT...

Faiz:

THAT'S SUPER.

Azar Macan:

...That sounds like it would have been horrible if those undead didn't foolishy step out.

Serra:

"Won't do anything to any of us, sadly."

Imban:

Also, the pathway to the west looks... surprisingly dangerous.

Azar Macan: (( in other words, go back and fight the solo. or go to 17. :v ))

Imban:

In a structurally unsound sense, not in the sense that you're going to die to monsters if you step into it.

Azar Macan: (( or that ))

Imban:

You can make a Dungeoneering check if you want to inspect it further.

* Faiz peeks his head around the corner... well, he knows rock, at least...

* Serra does inspect it further, invokes Legend Lore.

* Mechalomaniac rolls: 1d20+3 Dungeoneering => 14 + 3 = 17

Faiz:

Dungeoneering = 21       Rolled: 19     Bonuses: 2

Faiz: (( Aw. Was gonna ask if I could get a circumstance bonus for being THE EARTH GUY but hey, 19/20 works too. ))

* Tilus rolls: 1d20+10 History -> Dungeoneering => 12 + 10 = 22

Imban:

Faiz thinks that if everyone heads down it one at a time, it'll be safe. If more than one person walks at a time...

Imban:

Well, then it'll be the other thing.

* Faiz taps at the floor with his boot.

Azar Macan: (( man this sounds like such a bad way to go ))

* Faiz looks down the hall again, and crosses his arms. "STAY HERE."

* Serra nods.

* Faiz takes a peek in through the door...?

Azar Macan: (( Fleed should roll stealth. just to see how bad he is ))

Faiz: (( ...y-you're a butt ))

Azar Macan: (( well sorry if I have a billion stealth ))

Imban:

Through the door, Faiz can see a creature stalking around between the columns.

Faiz: (( WELP ))

Faiz: (( Suffice to say FUCK THAT NOISE ))

Azar Macan: (( well that token sure is pleasent. LET'S NOT. ))

Serra: (( Don't tell me that's the solo. ))

Faiz:

SO.

Faiz:

HI.

Faiz:

LET'S GO SOMEWHERE ELSE.

Serra: (( Oh, no it's not. ))

Azar Macan:

Sounds good to me.

Faiz: (( I'm sure we can concoct some elaborate trap involving taunting that fucker down the hall and collapsing it on him but I'm not gonna risk it on my behalf. ))

Faiz: (( ...on the other hand... I think I've got just an idea... ))

Imban:

Having retreated, the heroes are left with a choice: Go to room 17, room 20, or wait for reinforcements.

Imban:

Or, well, GET AN IDEA.

Faiz: (( It involves going around, though. ))

Serra: (( Sure. ))

* Faiz rumbles. "WELL I DID MY SCOUTING DUTY."

Azar Macan:

Let's see what lies in this room

Imban:

This room has alcoves full of skeletal remains along the south wall, plus an annex with a fountain and a tied-up boy to the east.

Faiz: (( ...pfffhahaha ))

Azar Macan: (( *gasp* ))

Serra: (( Oh hey there, Tetsujin #28 kid. ))

Azar Macan: (( OH NO WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU GIANT ROBOT ))

Azar Macan: (( oh wait it's Faiz ))

Faiz: (( NOT TO WORRY, REPLACEMENT ROBO IS HERE ))

Adric Kain: (( Put him on your shoulder!~ ))

Thurann:

There you are! Untie me, robo!

Faiz:

...WHAT?

Adric Kain:

You and the kid know each other?

* Faiz looks at the others, then back at the kid, and points to himself questioningly.

Imban:

You aren't... quite sure what the kid is going on about.

* Thurann nods vigorously.

Serra:

"I think he means you. Maybe.

Faiz:

I... UH.

Azar Macan:

Well, Giant Robots are generally friends to all children.

* Faiz scratches at his helmet and rumbles, lowering his shoulders a bit before walking over. "FINE."

Thurann:

Thanks!

Faiz:

S-SURE.

Serra: (( Meanwhile, Umb is readying his Met Hat Smash. I'm sure of it. ))

* Faiz stares at the wall for a bit, then back down at the child. "WHY YOU, ANYWAY?"

Imban:

Meanwhile, those of you not utterly puzzled by the boy notice some glinting treasure in the skeleton-filled alcoves.

Azar Macan:

Oooo

Serra:

"Oh, hey! Treasure!"

* Serra glares at it instead.

Thurann:

They must have been afraid of my dad's giant robot!

* Adric Kain shurgs

Faiz:

GIANT-- HUH.

Azar Macan:

I sure do hope this isn't the one room where they're actually undead.

Faiz:

WHICH REALLY JUST BRINGS UP ANOTHER QUESTION.

Faiz:

WHY YOU, NOT YOUR DAD?

Thurann:

...Uh...

Thurann:

He died a few years ago.

* Adric Kain looks back at Faiz "Dramatic convenience"

Faiz:

...O-OH.

Thurann:

...and left me his giant robot!

Thurann:

Or so he said. I haven't actually found it...

Azar Macan: (( I SMELL A QUEST HOOK *or not* ))

Faiz:

YOU... DON'T KNOW WHERE IT IS. THAT'S GREAT.

* Faiz looks back up at the wall, rumbling softly.

Adric Kain:

Did you try a secret vault under your house?

Imban:

The skeletons in this room are thankfully still dead.

Thurann:

!

Thurann:

Good idea! I'll need to look there when I get back home!

Thurann:

...actually, I'm going back there right now!

Faiz:

...AHAHA.

Adric Kain:

Watch out for bears.

Serra:

"Take care, and watch out for the deadly bears!"

Thurann:

See you all later!

* Faiz waves, still a bit confused.

Adric Kain:

That kid gave me a good idea for a story.

Faiz:

THIS PLACE...

Azar Macan:

Hey, wait. is that a fountain on the wall?

Adric Kain:

Maybe add a more tragic burden element to it though

Imban:

It is indeed a fountain.

Azar Macan:

What is with this place and fountains.

* Faiz looks over at the fountain. "YEAH..."

Faiz:

ISN'T THIS LIKE THE THIRD FOUNTAIN SOMEONE'S BEEN CHAINED TO?

Adric Kain:

Well they obviously don't use the water around here to bathe.

Serra:

"Maybe they liked the soothing tones of falling water?"

* Faiz takes a second to stare off into space, counting off on his fingers. "HOW MANY PEOPLE DID WE HAVE TO FIND, HERE...?"

Serra:

"We've found all of them now."

Faiz:

OH.

Serra:

"But none of the treasure."

Adric Kain:

I believe that was all of them, though one is less than living.

Azar Macan:

Hooray!

Azar Macan:

Booo.

Faiz:

WELL NOW WE CAN FOCUS MORE ON CRUSHING THIS PLACE UP THEN!

Azar Macan:

So I...don't like the look of those columns up ahead. let's go back and see what that other path holds.

* Faiz punches his fists together and rumbles, sounding more amused than anything at this prospect~

Adric Kain:

Good idea.

Adric Kain:

We can try up the stairs from where we first came to this floor.

Azar Macan:

But first, we should retrieve the mystery treasure!

Azar Macan:

From the walls here, of course.

Serra: (( Don't worry, we remembered to set /autoloot. ))

Imban: (( indeed _ ))

* Faiz charges off down the hallways back to the main room~!

Serra:

"Well, let's go back then. Might as well be as thorough as possible!"

Azar Macan:

Hmm.

* Azar rolls: 1d20+12 SUPERIOR SNEAK => 2 + 12 = 14

Faiz: (( WELP ))

Imban:

INFERIOR SNEAK.

Azar Macan: (( LESS THAN SUPERIOR ))

Azar Macan: (( still a huge bonus ))

* Faiz does his best tries-to-be-sneaky impression as he climbs up a few stairs.

Imban:

Regardless, you can't hardly see anything from where you are. It's dark and you're kind of at the bottom of the stairs and around a corner from anything interesting.

Faiz:

Stealth = 6       Rolled: 5     Bonuses: 1

Faiz:

...HRRM.

Azar Macan:

Let's try that again.

* Azar rolls: 1d20+12 SUPERIOR SNEAK => 9 + 12 = 21

Faiz: (( Is it like, dark dark or low-light vision dark? ))

Imban: (( No rerolling sneak without an encounter ))

Imban: (( It is dark dark. ))

Faiz: (( Fair enough. ))

Azar Macan: (( :| ))

Azar Macan: (( hey hey ))

Azar Macan: (( Owlbear has darkvision. does it see anything ))

Imban:

Thin, ice-cold menhirs are scattered across the floor of this triangular room. A passageway leads north, then turns west—and something beyond that turn is casting light.

Not an Owlbear:

*gestures wildly*

Azar Macan:

...I think that's there's nothing in there, but light beyound?

Adric Kain:

More cultists?

Azar Macan:

One of the seer pools was a single goblin-thing in a room. maybe this leads to it?

* Faiz stares down at the... thing. "MAN, YOU UNDERSTAND IT BETTER THAN WE DO AND YOU STILL HAVE NO IDEA?"

Azar Macan: (( I actually don't get to *speak* to it until level 10 ))

Serra:

"Well, it seems there's only one way to find out."

* Faiz grips at his sword, looking around a bit with a sense of foreboding. "REH..."
