[Sat Mar 25 09:34:09 2006] : Server Administrator-> You have connected to an OpenRPG server, version '1.6.1'.
Welcome to Jack Simth's temporary server!
I put this up just for a short gaming session on Saturday, and stop it after.
Session is schedualed for 10 AM Pacific Standard Time.

[Sat Mar 25 09:34:16 2006] : (1) GM: [100d20] -> [13,4,2,9,7,3,14,3,2,10,11,11,20,10,9,7,19,9,2,11,3,5,20,18,12,1,20,17,1,12,16,13,6,13,17,5,3,18,10,15,12,17,12,7,3,3,1,10,18,18,14,17,3,5,9,6,12,6,8,16,19,15,3,5,3,6,5,5,12,3,10,3,6,17,7,12,1,18,2,3,19,17,2,2,6,12,13,18,19,11,17,3,8,17,17,10,6,19,19,20] = (1008)
[Sat Mar 25 09:59:15 2006] : (2) Kibin (enter): 09:59
[Sat Mar 25 09:59:30 2006] : (2) Kibin: Sorry I'm later than usual, Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion is so addictive.
[Sat Mar 25 10:01:17 2006] : (1) Jack Simth: Greetings. Yes, the Elder Scrolls series always was.
[Sat Mar 25 10:01:54 2006] : (1) Jack Simth: And it's not like you're late or anything; another four minutes to schedualed game time.
[Sat Mar 25 10:02:19 2006] : (2) Kibin: True.
[Sat Mar 25 10:02:27 2006] : (2) Kibin: The newest in the series ROCKS.
[Sat Mar 25 10:03:11 2006] : (2) Kibin: There's so many dungeons and caves and ruins to explore, and each one has something different about it.
[Sat Mar 25 10:04:03 2006] : (2) Kibin: A lot of them even have it's own story to go along with it, such as this one had a lot of dead bodies. Apparently imps or something invaded it during the fourth hour of one day.
[Sat Mar 25 10:05:00 2006] : ** Sorry, don't understand what a /register is...
[Sat Mar 25 10:05:07 2006] : (2) Kibin: Traps are awesome too. If you're careful, they won't get you, but it's fun to have a large heavy spiked object swing by where you just was a second ago.
[Sat Mar 25 10:05:36 2006] : (2) Kibin: Most of the traps can't be simply disarmed, you have to note where they are and avoid them.
[Sat Mar 25 10:07:22 2006] : (2) Kibin: Occasionally theres traps that you know is there, but dangerous nonetheless. Such as giant swinging bladed pendulums in the walls.
[Sat Mar 25 10:07:43 2006] : (1) Jack Simth: Ah, and it won't let you attack the chain?
[Sat Mar 25 10:07:57 2006] : (2) Kibin: You can attack the chain.
[Sat Mar 25 10:08:17 2006] : (1) Jack Simth: And when you break the chain, what happens to the pendulum?
[Sat Mar 25 10:08:38 2006] : (2) Kibin: Well, the pendulum had the machinery inside the wall, I couldn't get to it. :P
[Sat Mar 25 10:09:09 2006] : (3) Elorin (enter): 10:09
[Sat Mar 25 10:09:12 2006] : (2) Kibin: With pressure plates, you can put something heavy on it to trigger the trap and let it run out of ammo.
[Sat Mar 25 10:09:18 2006] : (1) Jack Simth: Greetings.
[Sat Mar 25 10:09:38 2006] : (4) Kaylin (enter): 10:09
[Sat Mar 25 10:09:47 2006] : (2) Kibin: Tripwires are simple, if you notice one you can use the action key to cut the tripwire prematurely, and thus the trap hits empty air.
[Sat Mar 25 10:09:56 2006] : (4) Kaylin: Mornin'
[Sat Mar 25 10:09:58 2006] : (3) Elorin: lol, just checked OoTS
[Sat Mar 25 10:10:03 2006] : (1) Jack Simth: Morning.. Still missing Rilyrr and Eldon.
[Sat Mar 25 10:10:42 2006] : (2) Kibin: Oh, there was also a trap where a pressure plate moved these walls up to trap me inside, then flooded the entire room with deadly gas.
[Sat Mar 25 10:10:44 2006] : (1) Jack Simth: The "rich is at a hotel" notice?
[Sat Mar 25 10:10:47 2006] : (2) Kibin: That was mostly annoying. :P
[Sat Mar 25 10:10:58 2006] : (3) Elorin: "Rich is at a hotel in Memphis, TN, where, it seems, they don't have internet access. He's currently in search for the 21st century, will post the comic when he finds it"
[Sat Mar 25 10:11:26 2006] : (2) Kibin: Probally because my character in Oblivion is an Argonian, and thus is immune to all posions. Hmmmm.
[Sat Mar 25 10:12:12 2006] : (2) Kibin: Argonians also get water breathing, which is nice. One of the dungeons I went to had about half of it underwater, without an easily accessable place to surface for air.
[Sat Mar 25 10:12:44 2006] : (2) Kibin: And I still have 200 or so dungeons to explore. O.o
[Sat Mar 25 10:13:28 2006] : (2) Kibin: All hand crafted...
[Sat Mar 25 10:14:53 2006] : (2) Kibin: I have a lot more to do in ESIV.
[Sat Mar 25 10:15:30 2006] : (2) Kibin: I think Narf is still sleeping. Again. x.x
[Sat Mar 25 10:15:38 2006] : (2) Kibin: Where's Rilyrr?
[Sat Mar 25 10:17:17 2006] : (4) Kaylin: I think he's at another Robotics competition
[Sat Mar 25 10:17:29 2006] : (4) Kaylin: This time in Sacramento
[Sat Mar 25 10:19:05 2006] : (2) Kibin: Ah, okay.
[Sat Mar 25 10:19:17 2006] : (2) Kibin: So narf is sleeping, Rilyrr is away, everyone else is here.
[Sat Mar 25 10:20:08 2006] : (2) Kibin: To the room?
[Sat Mar 25 10:20:31 2006] : Moving to room 'D and D'..

[Sat Mar 25 10:20:32 2006] : Server Administrator->
Welcome to Jack Simth's temporary server!
I put this up just for a short gaming session on Saturday, and stop it after.
Session is schedualed for 10 AM Pacific Standard Time.

[Sat Mar 25 10:20:39 2006] : (3) Elorin (enter): 10:20
[Sat Mar 25 10:20:48 2006] : (2) Kibin (enter): 10:20
[Sat Mar 25 10:21:22 2006] : (4) Kaylin (enter): 10:21
[Sat Mar 25 10:22:06 2006] : (1) GM: When we last left our heros, they were interrogating an embodyment of evil under an anti-magic field.
[Sat Mar 25 10:23:37 2006] : (2) Kibin: (Oookay, where did the conversation leave off?)
[Sat Mar 25 10:24:48 2006] : (1) GM: [Bad dice format] - [Sat Mar 18 16:05:12 2006] : (10) Eldon Quickfoot: "Aside from the fact that I do not trust your story, your kind has a history of...Unreasonable bargaining."
[Bad dice format] - [Sat Mar 18 16:05:29 2006] : (10) Eldon Quickfoot: "Why ally with beings who cannot be trusted?"
[Bad dice format] - [Sat Mar 18 16:06:15 2006] : (1) GM: Big Red: So we prefer to bargain from a position of strength....... but we do bargain, and stick to it. Unlike those Demons.
[Bad dice format] - [Sat Mar 18 16:06:17 2006] : (10) Eldon Quickfoot: (Does everyone want to continue?)
[Bad dice format] - [Sat Mar 18 16:06:46 2006] : (9) Kibin: (It looks like we are...)
[Bad dice format] - [Sat Mar 18 16:06:48 2006] : (2) Elorin: (technically, Pit Fiends are always Lawful Evil, which I would interpret as keeping bargains among other things, though they might try to twist the wording and find loopholes)
[Bad dice format] - [Sat Mar 18 16:06:50 2006] : (10) Eldon Quickfoot: "Stick to the letter, yes. Stick to a common intent, no."
[Bad dice format] - [Sat Mar 18 16:07:17 2006] : (10) Eldon Quickfoot: (I'm just responding - Personally, I could use a break)
[Bad dice format] - [Sat Mar 18 16:07:21 2006] : (9) Kibin: And you still didn't answer me on why we would give you that sword, to give back to that balor most likely...
[Sat Mar 25 10:25:12 2006] : (2) Kibin: (Ah, okay.)
[Sat Mar 25 10:25:18 2006] : (2) Kibin: (*pokes Elorin*)
[Sat Mar 25 10:26:03 2006] : (1) GM: Big Red: What, you think those beasts will always leave this place alone?
[Sat Mar 25 10:26:49 2006] : (1) GM: Big Red laughs, painfully: They've invaded both the upper and the lower planes - do you really think they'll leave the material planes alone?
[Sat Mar 25 10:27:54 2006] : (3) Elorin: Probably not, and I can see that suspending the Blood War would help fight them off, but I'm not convinced it's necessary, or that it would help in the upper planes.
[Sat Mar 25 10:28:51 2006] : (1) GM: Big Red: Mortals .... so unreasonable... now you see why I didn't particularly want you to have a choice in the matter....
[Sat Mar 25 10:31:28 2006] : (2) Kibin: (Elorin, you usually talk anyway, so continue...)
[Sat Mar 25 10:31:56 2006] : (3) Elorin: Hmm, given the circumstances I suppose we might be able to reach an agreement to let you go, if we can be reasonably certain you'll stick to the spirit of whatever bargain we make
[Sat Mar 25 10:32:00 2006] : (5) Lae'nial (enter): 10:32
[Sat Mar 25 10:32:06 2006] : (1) GM: Greetings.
[Sat Mar 25 10:32:13 2006] : (5) Lae'nial: Hi
[Sat Mar 25 10:32:16 2006] : (4) Kaylin: (mornin' Narf)
[Sat Mar 25 10:32:45 2006] : (5) Eldon Quickfoot: (Not really - But at least I'm earlier than usual)
[Sat Mar 25 10:32:50 2006] : (1) GM: (You know, you switch between those often enough that you might consider setting some of the function key macros.....)
[Sat Mar 25 10:32:56 2006] : ** (1) Monster found the F7 macro key **
[Sat Mar 25 10:33:14 2006] : (2) Kibin: (Huh.)
[Sat Mar 25 10:33:27 2006] : (5) Eldon Quickfoot: (That's an idea)
[Sat Mar 25 10:33:29 2006] : (4) Kaylin: I would be moderately inclined to trust a devil on the letter of an agreement, but the spirit might be beyond their grasp.
[Sat Mar 25 10:33:57 2006] : (2) Kibin: (Whats the command to set the name, idle, and typing message again?)
[Sat Mar 25 10:34:11 2006] : (5) Eldon Quickfoot: (Anyway, there's a bunch of little monsters on the main computer and I don't have my character sheet on this one.)
[Sat Mar 25 10:34:12 2006] : (3) Elorin: So we should take our time and word it carefully.
[Sat Mar 25 10:34:36 2006] : (5) Eldon Quickfoot: (So what're we up to?)
[Sat Mar 25 10:34:40 2006] : (3) Elorin: (/nick for the name, /status for the idle/typing thing)
[Sat Mar 25 10:34:42 2006] : ** (2) Kibin lets Elorin talk, sitting down and listening. **
[Sat Mar 25 10:34:50 2006] : (2) Kibin: (Status for both?)
[Sat Mar 25 10:35:05 2006] : (1) GM: (/nick for name, /status for something that will only last a moment, OpenRPG -> Settings -> Chat -> TypingStatusAlias/IdleStatusAlieas)
[Sat Mar 25 10:35:38 2006] : (1) GM: (still interrogating Big Red)
[Sat Mar 25 10:35:49 2006] : (5) Eldon Quickfoot: (Ah, thanks)
[Sat Mar 25 10:36:21 2006] : (5) Eldon Quickfoot: (BRB - Phone)
[Sat Mar 25 10:36:25 2006] : (3) Elorin: (we're thinking about letting him go on account of the invasion, but not without a carefully phrased agreement first)
[Sat Mar 25 10:36:56 2006] : (1) GM: Big Red: What are you talking about? We always stick to our spirits in agreements.
[Sat Mar 25 10:37:21 2006] : (5) Eldon Quickfoot: (Back)
[Sat Mar 25 10:37:26 2006] : (3) Elorin: And by "spirits" you mean alcohol? :P
[Sat Mar 25 10:37:50 2006] : (2) Kibin: A suggestion, how about you don't offer your soul or something in the contract?
[Sat Mar 25 10:38:00 2006] : (2) Kibin: I think that's what he meant by spirit...
[Sat Mar 25 10:38:15 2006] : (2) Kibin: (Talking to Elorin, not big red.)
[Sat Mar 25 10:38:20 2006] : (3) Elorin: Oh, right, that makes a bit more sense.
[Sat Mar 25 10:39:13 2006] : (5) Eldon Quickfoot: There's a bit of a danger in an agreement...We might end up having to do something.
[Sat Mar 25 10:40:23 2006] : (1) GM: Big Red: Ah, yes, I'm so able to enforce a contract against you.....
[Sat Mar 25 10:40:57 2006] : (1) GM: Big red rolls his eyes.
[Sat Mar 25 10:41:11 2006] : (3) Elorin: We do seem to have a rather superior bargaining position here, what with him being completely at our mercy.
[Sat Mar 25 10:41:34 2006] : (3) Elorin: So how about we just decide what we want and start working on how to phrase it.
[Sat Mar 25 10:42:37 2006] : (5) Eldon Quickfoot: (Oh, and thanks for the sheet)
[Sat Mar 25 10:42:48 2006] : (3) Elorin: Kaylin, I expect you're probably a lot better than I am at putting together legalese...
[Sat Mar 25 10:42:49 2006] : (2) Kibin: (Sheet? What sheet?)
[Sat Mar 25 10:43:04 2006] : (3) Elorin: (/me has 10 int, Kaylin 26 - or is it 28 now?)
[Sat Mar 25 10:43:21 2006] : (2) Kibin: (I have 14 int. Hehe.)
[Sat Mar 25 10:43:30 2006] : (1) Big Red: (He mentioned he was missing his character sheet, and I had an old copy from an early planning stage - a level or two behind, but mostly applicable)
[Sat Mar 25 10:43:40 2006] : (5) Eldon Quickfoot: (The character sheet the GM sent me)
[Sat Mar 25 10:43:56 2006] : (2) Kibin: (Ah, okay.)
[Sat Mar 25 10:44:40 2006] : (4) Kaylin: (I'm still at 26 int)
[Sat Mar 25 10:44:42 2006] : (2) Kibin: (One of these days I really need to get around to filling out a character sheet for OpenRPG)
[Sat Mar 25 10:44:52 2006] : (4) Kaylin: (unless... do you get a 1 point stat gain at 16th level?)
[Sat Mar 25 10:45:01 2006] : (1) Big Red: Big Red: Well, I have't used my wish yet this year... but that would leave me stranded for a while....
[Sat Mar 25 10:45:10 2006] : (3) Elorin: (yes, so you're at 27)
[Sat Mar 25 10:45:13 2006] : (1) Big Red: (Yep - 4, 8, 12, 16, 20)
[Sat Mar 25 10:45:33 2006] : (4) Kaylin: (*makes note*)
[Sat Mar 25 10:46:12 2006] : (5) Eldon Quickfoot: (Why are we trying to strike an agreement?)
[Sat Mar 25 10:46:35 2006] : (2) Kibin: (So he won't make our lives harder.)
[Sat Mar 25 10:46:44 2006] : (5) Eldon Quickfoot: (Ah, thanks.)
[Sat Mar 25 10:47:08 2006] : (2) Kibin: (And to delay the war going on in the planes with those machine thingies.)
[Sat Mar 25 10:47:09 2006] : (3) Elorin: (we're thinking of letting him go because of that war on the planes, and we'd like to keep him from making trouble afterwards)
[Sat Mar 25 10:47:27 2006] : (3) Elorin: (and we have reason to believe he'll stick to what he agrees)
[Sat Mar 25 10:48:03 2006] : (5) Eldon Quickfoot: (Was worried for a moment that you were going to ask for something)
[Sat Mar 25 10:48:13 2006] : ** (2) Kibin remembers the last time a demon gave the party a wish... **
[Sat Mar 25 10:48:13 2006] : (5) Eldon Quickfoot: (Bad idea - Gives you an aura of evil)
[Sat Mar 25 10:49:06 2006] : (1) Big Red: (That particular one did; a mega persistent resistance was a 9th level spell cast from an evil outsider; the spell was still active, so it showed up as evil)
[Sat Mar 25 10:49:13 2006] : (2) Kibin: (Yeah. :P)
[Sat Mar 25 10:49:40 2006] : (1) Big Red: (by a lot, even though it didn't do particularly much)
[Sat Mar 25 10:51:03 2006] : (3) Elorin: First, do we want him to be able to hear us while we discuss these things?
[Sat Mar 25 10:51:39 2006] : (3) Elorin: Or is it more important to be able to ask him questions at any time?
[Sat Mar 25 10:52:04 2006] : (1) Big Red: Big Red: Ah, a good idea. There's a nice grove of trees a few hundred feet away, where I shouldn't be able to hear you talking.
[Sat Mar 25 10:52:25 2006] : (2) Kibin: Elorin, you need to stay here.
[Sat Mar 25 10:52:27 2006] : (3) Elorin: Riiiight, like we're going to let you out of the Antimagic Field...
[Sat Mar 25 10:52:37 2006] : (2) Kibin: Yeah, that's why...
[Sat Mar 25 10:53:10 2006] : (5) Eldon Quickfoot: (BRB)
[Sat Mar 25 10:53:24 2006] : (1) Big Red: Oh, by the way - what's your duration on that?
[Sat Mar 25 10:53:33 2006] : (3) Elorin: (how long has it been?)
[Sat Mar 25 10:53:36 2006] : (2) Kibin: Does it really matter if he overhears us?
[Sat Mar 25 10:53:58 2006] : (3) Elorin: (was that as DM, or IC?)
[Sat Mar 25 10:54:18 2006] : (2) Kibin: (It's 10 minutes times level.)
[Sat Mar 25 10:54:28 2006] : (1) Big Red: Caster level?
[Sat Mar 25 10:54:30 2006] : (3) Elorin: (3 hours, anyway)
[Sat Mar 25 10:54:44 2006] : (3) Elorin: (caster level 18)
[Sat Mar 25 10:55:11 2006] : (3) Elorin: (and we can knock him out and recast it when the duration lapses)
[Sat Mar 25 10:55:24 2006] : (2) Kibin: (*OOCly works on character sheet while they're talking...*)
[Sat Mar 25 10:56:42 2006] : (1) GM: Oh, roll vs. Initiative.

[Sat Mar 25 10:57:41 2006] : (1) GM: Big Red notices something, and begins to concentrate.....
[Sat Mar 25 10:57:50 2006] : (5) Eldon Quickfoot: (Back)
[Sat Mar 25 10:57:59 2006] : (1) GM: Roll vs. Initiative.
[Sat Mar 25 10:58:16 2006] : (5) Eldon Quickfoot: [1d20+6] -> [3,6] = (9)
[Sat Mar 25 10:58:21 2006] : (3) Elorin: (uh, that much talking doesn't really take three hours...)
[Sat Mar 25 10:58:39 2006] : (1) GM: So Kibin, Jason, Big red, Elorin, Eldon, Kaylin.
[Sat Mar 25 10:59:05 2006] : (1) GM: (This thing does, however, log time, among other things - out of combat, time passes mostly as real time, unless there's a need to accelerate it.)
[Sat Mar 25 10:59:25 2006] : (3) Elorin: (and I would have deliberately kept track of time and done a knockout-dismiss-recast with some time to spare)
[Sat Mar 25 10:59:34 2006] : (2) Kibin: (Yes, but it takes about a minute for someone to reply to something that should have only taken a second to do so.)
[Sat Mar 25 11:00:04 2006] : (3) Elorin: (dialogue is unnaturally slow in chat rooms vs actual conversation)
[Sat Mar 25 11:00:36 2006] : (1) GM: Hmm.. true.... well then - Elorin - Intelligence check, for tracking time.
[Sat Mar 25 11:00:47 2006] : (3) Elorin: Int check: [1d20+0] -> [2,0] = (2)
[Sat Mar 25 11:01:09 2006] : (3) Elorin: (and Kaylin would have been well aware of AMF's duration as well...)
[Sat Mar 25 11:01:14 2006] : (1) GM: Kibin?
[Sat Mar 25 11:01:27 2006] : (1) GM: Kaylin, Wisdom check?
[Sat Mar 25 11:01:34 2006] : (2) Kibin: (I suppose I would notice the antimagic field going down?)
[Sat Mar 25 11:01:40 2006] : (4) Kaylin: (how did I guess that was coming..)
[Sat Mar 25 11:01:46 2006] : (4) Kaylin: Wis check: [1d20+2] -> [16,2] = (18)
[Sat Mar 25 11:02:02 2006] : (1) GM: Well, that's a pass - you get to nudge Elorin.
[Sat Mar 25 11:02:15 2006] : (4) Kaylin: Hey, Elorin...
[Sat Mar 25 11:02:24 2006] : (3) Elorin: Hmm?
[Sat Mar 25 11:02:34 2006] : (4) Kaylin: Kindly refresh that anti-magic field.
[Sat Mar 25 11:02:44 2006] : (4) Kaylin: Should be expiring soon.
[Sat Mar 25 11:02:47 2006] : (3) Elorin: Oh, right.
[Sat Mar 25 11:02:57 2006] : (3) Elorin: Kibin, could you knock him out for me for a moment?
[Sat Mar 25 11:03:21 2006] : (1) Big Red: Angels!
[Sat Mar 25 11:03:35 2006] : ** (2) Kibin stands up, and slashes Big Red back into unconsciousness. **
[Sat Mar 25 11:04:06 2006] : (1) GM: After a very short while, Big Red's sleeping it off, again.
[Sat Mar 25 11:04:18 2006] : ** (3) Elorin dismisses the AMF and recasts once he's sure Big Red's unconscious **
[Sat Mar 25 11:04:21 2006] : (1) GM: Kibin - roll damage for a while.
[Sat Mar 25 11:04:25 2006] : (3) Elorin: Elorin casts Antimagic Field ( level 8, "Negates magic within 10 ft." )
[Sat Mar 25 11:04:26 2006] : (3) Elorin: Elorin casts Level 8 Spell ( level 8, "Spell slot tracking device" )
[Sat Mar 25 11:04:35 2006] : (2) Kibin: (Uh, okay....
[Sat Mar 25 11:04:45 2006] : (2) Kibin: [1d6+1+8d6] -> [5,1,1,5,1,1,3,5,5,1] = (28)
[Sat Mar 25 11:04:56 2006] : (2) Kibin: [1d4+3+8d6] -> [4,3,5,1,4,4,3,6,6,4] = (40)

[Sat Mar 25 11:05:04 2006] : (2) Kibin: [1d4+3+8d6] -> [4,3,6,5,3,6,6,3,1,5] = (42)
[Sat Mar 25 11:05:05 2006] : (2) Kibin: [1d4+3+8d6] -> [1,3,2,2,4,4,3,6,6,1] = (32)
[Sat Mar 25 11:05:09 2006] : (2) Kibin: (That enough? :P)
[Sat Mar 25 11:05:18 2006] : (1) GM: Not quite.
[Sat Mar 25 11:05:31 2006] : (2) Kibin: (There's not even damage resistance...)
[Sat Mar 25 11:05:33 2006] : (2) Kibin: [1d6+1+8d6] -> [6,1,1,3,4,6,1,3,2,2] = (29)
[Sat Mar 25 11:05:35 2006] : (2) Kibin: [1d4+3+8d6] -> [1,3,4,2,3,4,2,4,2,6] = (31)
[Sat Mar 25 11:05:35 2006] : (2) Kibin: [1d4+3+8d6] -> [1,3,6,6,3,6,1,6,5,4] = (41)
[Sat Mar 25 11:05:45 2006] : (1) GM: That is, though.
[Sat Mar 25 11:06:28 2006] : (3) Elorin: Ok, that'll last for another three hours and I have one more after that.
[Sat Mar 25 11:06:40 2006] : (1) GM: After about a minute and a half, Big Red rolls around again.
[Sat Mar 25 11:06:47 2006] : (3) Elorin: But once that's done, I won't be able to keep it up.
[Sat Mar 25 11:07:01 2006] : ** (2) Kibin sits back down. "By then, we should have an agreement already." **
[Sat Mar 25 11:08:15 2006] : ** (1) Big Red rolls eyes **
[Sat Mar 25 11:08:39 2006] : (1) Big Red: How about this: You let me live, and I don't come back to this plane under my own power for the next millenia or so.
[Sat Mar 25 11:09:04 2006] : (1) Big Red: Should give all y'all time enough to die of old age.....
[Sat Mar 25 11:09:09 2006] : (3) Elorin: I estimate the loopholes on that are only about a mile or so wide...
[Sat Mar 25 11:09:12 2006] : (2) Kibin: But you could come to this plane under someone elses power.
[Sat Mar 25 11:09:25 2006] : (3) Elorin: (brb)
[Sat Mar 25 11:09:31 2006] : (1) Big Red: So we tack on that I don't tell anyone to send me here.
[Sat Mar 25 11:10:02 2006] : (4) Kaylin: That doesn't work either.
[Sat Mar 25 11:10:07 2006] : (4) Kaylin: You could write to them.
[Sat Mar 25 11:10:39 2006] : (5) Eldon Quickfoot: How about 'avoid coming to this plane'.
[Sat Mar 25 11:11:17 2006] : (1) Big Red: There's always the Wizard or Sorceror with the big Planar Binding. Not even one such as I can always keep away.
[Sat Mar 25 11:12:40 2006] : (5) Eldon Quickfoot: And 'return to the lower planes as soon as possible'.
[Sat Mar 25 11:13:41 2006] : (1) GM: Kaylin, make a knoweledge(the planes) check.
[Sat Mar 25 11:13:45 2006] : (4) Kaylin: How about "doing nothing that would cause harm to us in any manner"?
[Sat Mar 25 11:13:54 2006] : (4) Kaylin: Knowledge: The Planes Skill Check: [1d20+16] -> [10,16] = (26)
[Sat Mar 25 11:14:11 2006] : (1) Big Red: One cannot know the full consequences of ones actions.
[Sat Mar 25 11:14:38 2006] : (1) Big Red: But I can agree to trying to return home as soon as I'm able.
[Sat Mar 25 11:14:49 2006] : (4) Kaylin: True... add 'knowledgeably' into the line, however...
[Sat Mar 25 11:15:01 2006] : (2) Kibin: Kaylin, that word thingie doesn't cause harm to us...
[Sat Mar 25 11:16:24 2006] : (4) Kaylin: Which word?
[Sat Mar 25 11:16:50 2006] : (3) Elorin: The one he kept using to prevent us from doing anything a while back.
[Sat Mar 25 11:16:50 2006] : (1) Big Red: My, what a short memory you have.....
[Sat Mar 25 11:16:56 2006] : (3) Elorin: (Blaspheymy)
[Sat Mar 25 11:17:24 2006] : (4) Kaylin: Disabling us from making actions is harmful.
[Sat Mar 25 11:17:38 2006] : (4) Kaylin: It has the same effect as some of the more debilitating diseases, and yet none would question their harm.
[Sat Mar 25 11:18:34 2006] : (3) Elorin: Under certain interpretations, it might be considered harmful, but it doesn't actually cause lasting physical damage to us.
[Sat Mar 25 11:18:51 2006] : (3) Elorin: And I imagine he would interpret it in the most favorable (to him) way possible.
[Sat Mar 25 11:18:58 2006] : (4) Kaylin: Most physical damage is only lasting for a while.
[Sat Mar 25 11:20:07 2006] : (3) Elorin: All, right, let's list the things we do or don't want him to do, then start figuring out the wording.
[Sat Mar 25 11:20:11 2006] : ** (2) Kibin sighs, suggesting, "How about allowing us to use dismissal on him successfully, and him doing everything possible to stay out of the material plane?" **
[Sat Mar 25 11:20:22 2006] : (4) Kaylin: Wise suggestion, Elorin.
[Sat Mar 25 11:20:24 2006] : (3) Elorin: First, we don't want him coming after us again.
[Sat Mar 25 11:20:38 2006] : (4) Kaylin: I would request that there be no mental harm or disablement whatsoever.
[Sat Mar 25 11:21:27 2006] : (3) Elorin: Second, we don't want him recovering that sword without first securing our agreement.
[Sat Mar 25 11:22:17 2006] : (3) Elorin: Third, we probably don't want him telling anyone about us. You never know who else might decide to seek us out on their own initiative.
[Sat Mar 25 11:22:42 2006] : (5) Eldon Quickfoot: (Switching computers - BRB)
[Sat Mar 25 11:22:48 2006] : (5) Eldon Quickfoot: Disconnecting from server...
[Sat Mar 25 11:22:48 2006] : (5) Eldon Quickfoot (exit): 11:22
[Sat Mar 25 11:24:03 2006] : (1) Big Red: So.... no coming here under my own power, no telling anyone to send me here under their power, no potent cursing when I know you're in earshot, no doing anything that I know will cause you hurt, no seeking that Balor's sword until you tell me otherwise, no telling others abotu you?
[Sat Mar 25 11:24:11 2006] : ** (1) Big Red Consideres for a moment **
[Sat Mar 25 11:24:25 2006] : (1) Big Red: I can agree to that set of conditions.
[Sat Mar 25 11:25:03 2006] : (3) Elorin: No coming to the material plane at all unless you have no choice and no attempting to get someone else to force it on you.
[Sat Mar 25 11:25:11 2006] : (9) Eldon Quickfoot (enter): 11:25
[Sat Mar 25 11:25:27 2006] : (3) Elorin: Oh, and there's the matter of not sending any minions either...
[Sat Mar 25 11:25:41 2006] : (2) Kibin: And there's the matter of telling someone to send you here under someone elses power.
[Sat Mar 25 11:26:06 2006] : (1) Big Red: My you mortals are paranoid.....
[Sat Mar 25 11:26:21 2006] : (4) Kaylin: With good reason, too.
[Sat Mar 25 11:26:26 2006] : (1) Big Red: Do you really think I'd want to return here after such a sound trouncing?
[Sat Mar 25 11:26:54 2006] : (3) Elorin: Alone, probably not. With several of your buddies...
[Sat Mar 25 11:26:58 2006] : (4) Kaylin: After you gather a group together? Of course, we'll be more prepared for you next time, so I wouldn't recommend returning...
[Sat Mar 25 11:27:12 2006] : (4) Kaylin: Unless you want a sounder trouncing and a less forgiving audience.
[Sat Mar 25 11:27:39 2006] : (2) Kibin: How far away can that word affect people?
[Sat Mar 25 11:28:02 2006] : (1) Big Red: Big red: Oh, not too terribly far. About three or four times my height.
[Sat Mar 25 11:28:18 2006] : (1) GM: Big red, were he standing at the moment, would be about ten feet tall.
[Sat Mar 25 11:28:30 2006] : ** (9) Eldon Quickfoot looks skeptical **
[Sat Mar 25 11:28:51 2006] : (3) Elorin: Spellcraft Skill Check: [1d20+20] -> [13,20] = (33)
[Sat Mar 25 11:29:00 2006] : (3) Elorin: Yeah, that's about right.
[Sat Mar 25 11:29:01 2006] : (4) Kaylin: Spellcraft Skill Check: [1d20+32] -> [11,32] = (43)
[Sat Mar 25 11:29:23 2006] : (2) Kibin: Okay, so I should probally stay at least 40 feet away...
[Sat Mar 25 11:29:31 2006] : (3) Elorin: There are ways to increase the area, but they're a bit difficult to apply to something that powerful
[Sat Mar 25 11:31:15 2006] : (1) Big Red: So.... no coming here under my own power, no telling anyone to send me here under their power, no telling anyone to tell anyone to send me here, no sending minions after you (not that I could send a minion here after you, what with not being able to tell anyone about you), no potent cursing when I know you're in earshot, no doing anything that I know will cause you hurt, no seeking that Balor's sword until you tell me otherwise, no telling others about you, and returning home under my own poer when able to do so?
[Sat Mar 25 11:31:33 2006] : ** (4) Kaylin grins impishly **
[Sat Mar 25 11:31:36 2006] : (4) Kaylin: And remember all of that.
[Sat Mar 25 11:32:13 2006] : (1) Big Red: I can remember that.
[Sat Mar 25 11:32:18 2006] : (3) Elorin: If you go down the route of "tell to tell to tell..." you can always go one step further to circumvent it
[Sat Mar 25 11:32:42 2006] : (1) Big Red: So no chain messages either, then?
[Sat Mar 25 11:32:48 2006] : ** (1) Big Red sighs **
[Sat Mar 25 11:33:27 2006] : (1) Big Red: So.... no coming here under my own power, no telling anyone to send me here under their power, no telling anyone to tell anyone to send me here (to any degree of chaining), no sending minions after you (not that I could send a minion here after you, what with not being able to tell anyone about you), no potent cursing when I know you're in earshot, no doing anything that I know will cause you hurt, no seeking that Balor's sword until you tell me otherwise, no telling others about you, and returning home under my own power when able to do so?
[Sat Mar 25 11:33:30 2006] : (3) Elorin: (let's see if I can come up with my own wording. This may take a minute or two)
[Sat Mar 25 11:33:45 2006] : (1) Big Red: I can agree to that.
[Sat Mar 25 11:34:06 2006] : (2) Kibin: And him agreeing to it probally means that he found a loophole...
[Sat Mar 25 11:37:57 2006] : (3) Elorin: How about "No coming to the material plane unless you have no choice in the matter, no attempting to get anyone to take away that choice, always attempt to return to the lower planes as soon as possible if you ever are forced onto the material, no sending anyone else to the material plane for any reason or bringing an evil outsider with you when you are forced to come to the material plane, no informing anyone about any of us, singularly or as a group, no taking hostile actions against us or attempting to cause others to do so, no seeking that Balor's sword until we tell you otherwise, and attempt to return to the lower planes as soon as possible"
[Sat Mar 25 11:38:30 2006] : (3) Elorin: Did I miss anything?
[Sat Mar 25 11:38:36 2006] : ** (1) Big Red sighs **
[Sat Mar 25 11:38:43 2006] : (1) Big Red: No, no you didn't miss anything.
[Sat Mar 25 11:39:02 2006] : (3) Elorin: Oh yes, and no taking anyone but evil outsiders with you when you return to the lower planes.
[Sat Mar 25 11:39:16 2006] : (2) Kibin: Aside from him returning to the lower planes as soon as he's able to...
[Sat Mar 25 11:39:21 2006] : (1) Big Red: Spoilsport.
[Sat Mar 25 11:39:22 2006] : (2) Kibin: And that.
[Sat Mar 25 11:39:40 2006] : (2) Kibin: I don't like the lower planes too much, too hot...
[Sat Mar 25 11:40:01 2006] : (1) Big Red: Oh, there's some cold spots you might find more to your liking.
[Sat Mar 25 11:40:22 2006] : (3) Elorin: No sending anyone to the lower planes (or any other plane for that matter) against their will, too.
[Sat Mar 25 11:40:23 2006] : (2) Kibin: What, when hell freezes over?
[Sat Mar 25 11:40:39 2006] : (1) Big Red: Fine, fine. Can I go now?
[Sat Mar 25 11:41:02 2006] : (2) Kibin: Don't we need to get the balor's sword?
[Sat Mar 25 11:41:03 2006] : (9) Eldon Quickfoot: "Aside from the fact that you havn't actually agreed to anything?"
[Sat Mar 25 11:42:05 2006] : (2) Kibin: Meaning, doesn't he need to stay with us to get the sword, and to tell us where it is?
[Sat Mar 25 11:42:18 2006] : (3) Elorin: Hmm, "sending" may actually be too specific, need to change that...
[Sat Mar 25 11:44:01 2006] : (1) Big Red: No coming to the material plane unless I have no choice in the matter, no attempting to get anyone to take away that choice, always attempt to return to the lower planes as soon as possible if ever I am forced onto the material, no sending anyone else to the material plane for any reason or bringing an evil outsider with me when I am forced to come to the material plane, no informing anyone about any of you, singularly or as a group, no knowingly taking hostile actions against you or attempting to cause others to do so, no seeking that Balor's sword until you tell me otherwise, attempt to return to the lower planes as soon as possible, no taking anyone but evil outsiders with me when I return to the lower planes, No sending anyone to the lower planes (or any other plane for that matter) against their will
[Sat Mar 25 11:44:06 2006] : (1) Big Red: ?
[Sat Mar 25 11:44:47 2006] : (1) Big Red: Till death does stop me.
[Sat Mar 25 11:46:34 2006] : (1) Big Red: Are you quite done, clever mortals?
[Sat Mar 25 11:46:41 2006] : (2) Kibin: (*pokes Elorin*)
[Sat Mar 25 11:46:53 2006] : ** (4) Kaylin preens a bit **
[Sat Mar 25 11:46:57 2006] : ** (3) Elorin is thinking **
[Sat Mar 25 11:47:17 2006] : (4) Kaylin: I am almost satisfied... seems something slightly odd, but I can't think what.
[Sat Mar 25 11:47:43 2006] : (9) Eldon Quickfoot: (Can I make an Int check on it?)
[Sat Mar 25 11:47:56 2006] : (1) Big Red: What are you looking for?
[Sat Mar 25 11:47:57 2006] : ** (2) Kibin just lies down, and waits for everyone else to finish. **
[Sat Mar 25 11:48:19 2006] : (1) GM: Sorry, wrong name on that....
[Sat Mar 25 11:48:26 2006] : (1) GM: What are you looking for?
[Sat Mar 25 11:48:44 2006] : (4) Kaylin: (nothing, just mulling it over)
[Sat Mar 25 11:49:01 2006] : (1) GM: (Asking Eldon, as he requested an Int check)
[Sat Mar 25 11:49:02 2006] : (3) Elorin: Change the "sending anyone else to the material..." to "sending anyone or getting anyone to come to the material..."
[Sat Mar 25 11:49:36 2006] : (9) Eldon Quickfoot: (Uh, just to see if Eldon can spot any holes)
[Sat Mar 25 11:49:51 2006] : (4) Kaylin: I will be satisfied with that.
[Sat Mar 25 11:50:10 2006] : (3) Elorin: (yeah, int check to see if our characters spot any loopholes the DM has spotted but we haven't...)
[Sat Mar 25 11:50:16 2006] : (3) Elorin: Int check: [1d20+0] -> [4,0] = (4)
[Sat Mar 25 11:50:39 2006] : (1) GM: Let's see... this is getting complex, for not being able to take notes..... No coming to the material plane unless I have no choice in the matter, no attempting to get anyone to take away that choice, always attempt to return to the lower planes as soon as possible if ever I am forced onto the material, no sending anyone or getting anyone to come to the material plane for any reaso or bringing an evil outsider with me when I am forced to come to the material plane, no informing anyone about any of you, singularly or as a group, no knowingly taking hostile actions against you or attempting to cause others to do so, no seeking that Balor's sword until you tell me otherwise, attempt to return to the lower planes as soon as possible, no taking anyone but evil outsiders with me when I return to the lower planes, No sending anyone to the lower planes (or any other plane for that matter) against their will
[Sat Mar 25 11:50:55 2006] : (9) Eldon Quickfoot: [1d20+8] -> [10,8] = (18)
[Sat Mar 25 11:51:07 2006] : (3) Elorin: Oh, I'm sure Kaylin could write it down for you.
[Sat Mar 25 11:51:16 2006] : (3) Elorin: Strictly as a reminder, of course.
[Sat Mar 25 11:51:49 2006] : (4) Kaylin: I could... though it'd be nice if you could reimburse me for the cost of the parchment...
[Sat Mar 25 11:52:05 2006] : (4) Kaylin: Seeing as how you did try to fight us.
[Sat Mar 25 11:52:21 2006] : (2) Kibin: Parchment is what, a few copper pieces?
[Sat Mar 25 11:52:58 2006] : (4) Kaylin: Yes...
[Sat Mar 25 11:53:16 2006] : whispering to GM, [1d20+8] -> [6,8] = (14)
[Sat Mar 25 11:53:43 2006] : (3) Elorin: Oh yeah, there's also the matter of the man you killed. I can Raise him myself, but I don't suppose you have the diamond(s) necessary?
[Sat Mar 25 11:53:50 2006] : (2) Kibin: And we have what... at least a few 10,000 gold pieces?
[Sat Mar 25 11:54:09 2006] : whispering to Eldon Quickfoot, You don't know what his travel possiblities are; he mentioned a wish, with a yearly connotation attached to it; assuming for the moment that Wish gets him across planes, that he might be stranded wherever he ends up for a year.
[Sat Mar 25 11:54:19 2006] : (3) Elorin: Or something else of value that we could use to purchase them.
[Sat Mar 25 11:54:35 2006] : (9) Eldon Quickfoot: "He may have diamonds, but they may have...Side effects."
[Sat Mar 25 11:54:49 2006] : (1) Big Red: I can raise him myself, or produce perfectly mundane diamonds for you; I haven't used my wish yet this year.
[Sat Mar 25 11:55:10 2006] : (9) Eldon Quickfoot: Maybe an addition to deal with not seeking random planer travel.
[Sat Mar 25 11:55:54 2006] : (3) Elorin: I think that's covered by the not attempting to get anyone to take away his choice in the matter of coming to the material.
[Sat Mar 25 11:56:49 2006] : (9) Eldon Quickfoot: No...He could instigate random planer travel himself.
[Sat Mar 25 11:57:51 2006] : (1) Big Red: Believe me, there's far worse places I would want not to end up. You know, the uppper planes, the negative energy plane, the positibe energy plane, with Water or Earth, there's still the little issue of me needing to breathe.....
[Sat Mar 25 11:58:30 2006] : ** (2) Kibin catches up on some sleep while everyone is talking about that stuff. **
[Sat Mar 25 11:59:07 2006] : (9) Eldon Quickfoot: True...But you could still end up stranded somewhere.
[Sat Mar 25 12:00:23 2006] : (1) Big Red: For a time. And still have to return home. And not seek retribution. And a great many other safeguards in that cursed contract of yours.
[Sat Mar 25 12:01:33 2006] : (3) Elorin: Hmm, do you have any means of planar travel besides your Wish? Kaylin, do you know anything about that?
[Sat Mar 25 12:01:37 2006] : (1) Big Red: Speaking of which.... any of you need a job? There's going to be an opening in the infernal contract department soon......
[Sat Mar 25 12:01:56 2006] : ** (3) Elorin is glad he's hating the contract now :P **
[Sat Mar 25 12:02:07 2006] : (4) Kaylin: I'd love to apply but I don't think I'm cut out for office work.
[Sat Mar 25 12:03:23 2006] : (3) Elorin: (no response to my question? "Hmm, do you have any means of planar travel besides your Wish? Kaylin, do you know anything about that?")
[Sat Mar 25 12:03:57 2006] : (4) Kaylin: (sorry, I must have been getting lunch when you said that)
[Sat Mar 25 12:04:01 2006] : (1) Big Red: Not of my own, no. So are we agreed then? Immediate diamonds for the dead, or just raising him at your option, then No coming to the material plane unless I have no choice in the matter, no attempting to get anyone to take away that choice, always attempt to return to the lower planes as soon as possible if ever I am forced onto the material, no sending anyone or getting anyone to come to the material plane for any reaso or bringing an evil outsider with me when I am forced to come to the material plane, no informing anyone about any of you, singularly or as a group, no knowingly taking hostile actions against you or attempting to cause others to do so, no seeking that Balor's sword until you tell me otherwise, attempt to return to the lower planes as soon as possible, no taking anyone but evil outsiders with me when I return to the lower planes, No sending anyone to the lower planes (or any other plane for that matter) against their will
[Sat Mar 25 12:04:15 2006] : (4) Kaylin: (or, just not read it...)
[Sat Mar 25 12:04:32 2006] : (1) Big Red: Knoweledge(The Planes)?
[Sat Mar 25 12:04:48 2006] : (4) Kaylin: Knowledge: The Planes Skill Check: [1d20+16] -> [11,16] = (27)
[Sat Mar 25 12:04:54 2006] : (3) Elorin: Kaylin, do you have Dismissal prepared?
[Sat Mar 25 12:05:08 2006] : (9) Eldon Quickfoot: "I would perfer we did the raise entirely ourselves."
[Sat Mar 25 12:05:22 2006] : whispering to Kaylin, He's a much rarer beast that the devils you know.
[Sat Mar 25 12:05:49 2006] : (9) Eldon Quickfoot: "Else we will have to build a contract for the diamonds, as well."
[Sat Mar 25 12:05:59 2006] : (4) Kaylin: No Dismissals today...
[Sat Mar 25 12:06:13 2006] : (4) Kaylin (whispering): Does that mean I don't know how to send him back?
[Sat Mar 25 12:06:26 2006] : ** (2) Kibin wakes back up. "Diamonds would be good anyway." **
[Sat Mar 25 12:06:37 2006] : whispering to Kaylin, It means you don't know what all travel options he has at his disposal, other than what he's mentioned.
[Sat Mar 25 12:07:11 2006] : (3) Elorin: Diamonds shouldn't be too hard. Just specify that they be completely indistinguishable in every way from naturally produced diamonds
[Sat Mar 25 12:07:18 2006] : (9) Eldon Quickfoot: "We would still need a contract."
[Sat Mar 25 12:07:57 2006] : (4) Kaylin: Hmm... what ranking in the devil heirarchies are you? I don't believe I've encountered any such as you in my student days, not even from the stranger dorms...
[Sat Mar 25 12:07:57 2006] : (1) Big Red: I can't exactly move well enough to sign at the moment. I'm afraid this will have to remain primarily verbal.
[Sat Mar 25 12:07:59 2006] : (9) Eldon Quickfoot: "Do you know all the varieties of naturally produced diamonds? Perhaps there are some that are cursed."
[Sat Mar 25 12:08:28 2006] : (3) Elorin: How about specifying that they be duplicates of the diamonds we already have?
[Sat Mar 25 12:08:35 2006] : (1) Big Red: Oh, I've got quite a few under me.
[Sat Mar 25 12:08:57 2006] : (1) Big Red: Only the uniques are more powerful.
[Sat Mar 25 12:09:23 2006] : (4) Kaylin: (Would they really call uniques 'Uniques'?)
[Sat Mar 25 12:10:01 2006] : (1) Big Red: (Considering it makes it impossible for them to be subject to such things as Gate? Potentially.)
[Sat Mar 25 12:10:05 2006] : (9) Eldon Quickfoot: (Of course. Cause the are nique bad guyes.)
[Sat Mar 25 12:10:26 2006] : (9) Eldon Quickfoot: (* guys)
[Sat Mar 25 12:10:35 2006] : (9) Eldon Quickfoot: (Very bad joke, I know)
[Sat Mar 25 12:11:11 2006] : (2) Kibin: (How long have I had the craft(trapmaking) skill?)
[Sat Mar 25 12:11:38 2006] : (1) GM: Since you had a racial bonus to it as a Kobold, I imagine
[Sat Mar 25 12:11:40 2006] : ** (1) GM found the F12 macro key **
[Sat Mar 25 12:12:17 2006] : (2) Kibin: (Ah.)
[Sat Mar 25 12:13:55 2006] : ** (2) Kibin sighs, bored of this by now. "Can we get on with this?" **
[Sat Mar 25 12:14:05 2006] : (3) Elorin: Ok, addendum to the contract already specified, before he leaves he will create by means of his Wish 5 diamonds, each an exact duplicate in every conceivable way of the one I will present for the purpose, and his departure (this time only) to the lower planes will be accomlished by a Dismissal spell cast by Kaylin tomorrow, which he will not resist. Until that spell is cast, he will take no actions except the previously specified Wish and ordinary speech.
[Sat Mar 25 12:14:21 2006] : (3) Elorin: (brb)
[Sat Mar 25 12:14:39 2006] : (1) Big red: Breathing, too - can't forget to breath, after all.
[Sat Mar 25 12:15:45 2006] : (1) Big red: Otherwise, agreed.
[Sat Mar 25 12:16:02 2006] : (1) Big red: Not like I can do much but lay here for the next long while anyway.
[Sat Mar 25 12:16:25 2006] : (9) Eldon Quickfoot: "I would rather he be gone sooner, but..."
[Sat Mar 25 12:16:37 2006] : ** (9) Eldon Quickfoot wanders off **
[Sat Mar 25 12:17:07 2006] : (1) GM: Anything else before the night passes?
[Sat Mar 25 12:17:16 2006] : (3) Elorin: Oh yeah, and the diamonds must be created on the ground in front of my feet.
[Sat Mar 25 12:17:23 2006] : (3) Elorin: No scattering them all over the world.
[Sat Mar 25 12:17:44 2006] : (4) Kaylin: I'd like to do a little bit of shopping...
[Sat Mar 25 12:17:47 2006] : (4) Kaylin: Anyone want to come along?
[Sat Mar 25 12:17:57 2006] : (1) Big red: Yes, like there's anything preventing you from killing me, should I perform in an unsatisfactory manner.....
[Sat Mar 25 12:18:05 2006] : (4) Kaylin: I've been feeling a need for a few scrolls.
[Sat Mar 25 12:18:22 2006] : (2) Kibin: Ah yes, I was going to get one of my magic items modified...
[Sat Mar 25 12:19:29 2006] : ** (9) Eldon Quickfoot arranges the dead body into a more comfortable position for the resurection. **
[Sat Mar 25 12:20:32 2006] : (1) Big red: Jason: Hmm... I could possibly use a better pair of gloves......
[Sat Mar 25 12:21:02 2006] : (1) Big red: Jason: Maybe get a little addition to my staff.....
[Sat Mar 25 12:21:04 2006] : ** (3) Elorin wonders how Big Red plans to turn Jason into a set of gloves :P **
[Sat Mar 25 12:21:34 2006] : (1) GM: So I sometimes forget to switch the nick.....
[Sat Mar 25 12:21:59 2006] : (1) GM: Jason: Oh, meet you in town.
[Sat Mar 25 12:22:02 2006] : (2) Kibin: So, uh, when can he do the wish thingie with the diamonds?
[Sat Mar 25 12:22:10 2006] : (1) GM: Jason walks down into the ground....
[Sat Mar 25 12:22:22 2006] : (1) Big red: Oh, as soon as this field goes away, if you like.
[Sat Mar 25 12:22:33 2006] : ** (2) Kibin found the F5 macro key **
[Sat Mar 25 12:22:34 2006] : ** (2) Kibin found the F4 macro key **
[Sat Mar 25 12:22:38 2006] : (4) Kaylin: That'll be at least another hour, won't it?
[Sat Mar 25 12:23:07 2006] : (3) Elorin: Which, since he's already agreed to our contract, can be right now. Unless anyone has a further amendment?
[Sat Mar 25 12:24:31 2006] : (2) Kibin: Nope.
[Sat Mar 25 12:24:41 2006] : (9) Eldon Quickfoot: (How about just a quick 'Time Passes'?)
[Sat Mar 25 12:25:16 2006] : (3) Elorin: Oh yeah, can't be too careful, I need official confirmation that your "agreed" was to the entire contract, not just the addendum.
[Sat Mar 25 12:25:19 2006] : (4) Kaylin: (well, I was going to Teleport to the Magic Shop, grab a few items, and then Greater Teleport back here)
[Sat Mar 25 12:25:23 2006] : ** (2) Kibin wonders if there's a way to fix that annoying humming sound when he's in an antimagic field... **
[Sat Mar 25 12:25:31 2006] : (1) GM: Yes, yes yes..... agreed.
[Sat Mar 25 12:25:40 2006] : (3) Elorin: Very well.
[Sat Mar 25 12:25:45 2006] : ** (3) Elorin dismisses the AMF **
[Sat Mar 25 12:25:52 2006] : (3) Elorin: Here is the diamond to be duplicated.
[Sat Mar 25 12:25:55 2006] : ** (2) Kibin waits for something bad to happen... **
[Sat Mar 25 12:25:58 2006] : ** (3) Elorin presents a 5000 gp diamond **
[Sat Mar 25 12:26:15 2006] : (1) GM: Big Red concentrates for a moment, and five 5k diamonds appear closely clustered at Elorin's feet.
[Sat Mar 25 12:26:52 2006] : (1) GM: Big red then closes his eyes, and begins to snore.
[Sat Mar 25 12:26:58 2006] : ** (2) Kibin casts detect magic on the diamonds. **
[Sat Mar 25 12:27:20 2006] : whispering to Kibin, Dim aura, after a few rounds.
[Sat Mar 25 12:27:21 2006] : (4) Kaylin: Everyone who's planning on visiting the magic shop should come over here...
[Sat Mar 25 12:27:36 2006] : (4) Kaylin: (that is, assuming I can Greater Teleport back to here... I can, right?)
[Sat Mar 25 12:27:50 2006] : ** (2) Kibin then dismisses it, and goes over to Kaylin,. **
[Sat Mar 25 12:28:24 2006] : ** (3) Elorin gathers up the diamonds **
[Sat Mar 25 12:28:41 2006] : (3) Elorin: I don't have any shopping planned at the moment
[Sat Mar 25 12:29:15 2006] : (3) Elorin: I'll just wait for you all to come back so we're all here when I Resurrect him (pointing at shopkeeper).
[Sat Mar 25 12:29:18 2006] : (2) Kibin: Then you can stay here and get to work on raising the smith?
[Sat Mar 25 12:30:02 2006] : (3) Elorin: (time passes...)
[Sat Mar 25 12:30:05 2006] : (2) Kibin: (Should be able to just do a regular raise dead, you know...)
[Sat Mar 25 12:30:16 2006] : ** (3) Elorin waits for shopping to finish **
[Sat Mar 25 12:30:20 2006] : (4) Kaylin: (brb, being summoned by family)
[Sat Mar 25 12:30:22 2006] : (1) GM: (He traded it out.....)
[Sat Mar 25 12:30:37 2006] : (4) Kaylin: Everyone ready?
[Sat Mar 25 12:30:40 2006] : (2) Kibin: (Ah. :P)
[Sat Mar 25 12:30:44 2006] : (3) Elorin: (I'd trade something back for it, but that would require a Limited Wish)
[Sat Mar 25 12:31:01 2006] : (2) Kibin: (Can't I buy a scroll or something for him? And keep the savings for myself?)
[Sat Mar 25 12:31:02 2006] : ** (4) Kaylin glances around to make sure she's got a good mental image **
[Sat Mar 25 12:31:11 2006] : (3) Elorin: (Which I should probably do anyway, as there's at least one, maybe several, other spells I'd like to switch out)
[Sat Mar 25 12:31:15 2006] : whispering to GM, [1d4] -> [3] = (3)
[Sat Mar 25 12:32:08 2006] : ** (2) Kibin scoots close to Kaylin, so he's teleported with her. **
[Sat Mar 25 12:32:35 2006] : (1) GM: Jason's already left....
[Sat Mar 25 12:33:02 2006] : (4) Kaylin: Kaylin casts Teleport ( level 5, "Instantly transports you anywhere." )
[Sat Mar 25 12:33:15 2006] : (1) GM: [1d100] -> [29] = (29)
[Sat Mar 25 12:33:33 2006] : (2) Kibin: (Which town is this, by the way?)
[Sat Mar 25 12:34:19 2006] : (1) GM: You arrive at Ye Oelde Shoppe of Magicke
[Sat Mar 25 12:34:26 2006] : (3) Elorin: (brb)
[Sat Mar 25 12:35:15 2006] : (1) GM: After about three hours of looking around, you see Jason walk in the door. Pushing it open. And ringing the bell attached thereto. You can even hear his feet impacting the ground.
[Sat Mar 25 12:35:43 2006] : (4) Kaylin: Jason! YOu're all.. manifested...
[Sat Mar 25 12:36:03 2006] : (1) GM: He walks up to the counter, makes a quick purchase of some gloves and commissionions some work on his staff, pays the man, waits a short while while it's coverd.
[Sat Mar 25 12:36:32 2006] : (1) GM: Jason: Oh, I've been learning to walk the planes. Takes a while, though, and I don't intend to stay on this one for too terribly long.
[Sat Mar 25 12:37:28 2006] : ** (2) Kibin looks to see if his death wound is still on him... **
[Sat Mar 25 12:37:37 2006] : (1) GM: Yep.
[Sat Mar 25 12:37:52 2006] : (1) GM: He's even still slightly transparent.....
[Sat Mar 25 12:38:33 2006] : (4) Kaylin: (if I bought a potion of Cure Serious Wounds, what caster level would that be at?)
[Sat Mar 25 12:38:59 2006] : (1) GM: (5th; minimum for the spell)
[Sat Mar 25 12:39:34 2006] : ** (2) Kibin hmmmms, that's interesting. He then goes over to the counter and asks for the modifications on the Gloves of Dexterity +6 so it could magically adapt to his form, like the old ones. **
[Sat Mar 25 12:40:15 2006] : (1) GM: And, for a 2,000 gp commision, you get them, with the merchant holding onto the gloves as collateral until payment is received.
[Sat Mar 25 12:40:26 2006] : (1) GM: (Which doesn't take long)
[Sat Mar 25 12:40:56 2006] : (4) Kaylin: (argh, Firefox crashed on me)
[Sat Mar 25 12:41:06 2006] : (4) Kaylin: (there goes the list of stuff I wanted to buy...)
[Sat Mar 25 12:41:09 2006] : ** (2) Kibin pays with 200 platnium pieces, then. And makes mental note to exchange some of this gold for more platnium pieces when he gets the chance... **
[Sat Mar 25 12:41:23 2006] : (1) GM: (Potion of Cure Serious Wounds - 3d8+5, 750 gp)
[Sat Mar 25 12:41:43 2006] : (4) Kaylin: (how much would it cost to get the +6 Headband of Intellect also giving some bonus to Wisdom?)
[Sat Mar 25 12:42:06 2006] : (4) Kaylin: (They occupy a similar spot, iirc)
[Sat Mar 25 12:43:04 2006] : (2) Kibin: (So that brings me down to...32561 gold pieces.)
[Sat Mar 25 12:43:17 2006] : (2) Kibin: (With 500 of that in platnium pieces. Hmmmm.)
[Sat Mar 25 12:44:27 2006] : (2) Kibin: (How much would those 27561 gold pieces take up, anyway?)
[Sat Mar 25 12:44:34 2006] : (1) GM: (Wisdom counts as Discernment, not mental improvement or ranged attacks; on a headband, it's off slot; as the second power, that would be double standard (after both +50% from off-slot and addition) so 2,000*Stat Boost * Stat Boost - so a +6 addition would cost you 72,000gp
[Sat Mar 25 12:44:55 2006] : (4) Kaylin: (heh, way more than I can afford...)
[Sat Mar 25 12:45:00 2006] : (1) GM: (Space wise? Not much. [27561/50] -> 551 pounds, )
[Sat Mar 25 12:45:58 2006] : (3) Elorin: (you let me get wisdom as mental improvement...)
[Sat Mar 25 12:46:06 2006] : (1) GM: (About half a cubic foot)
[Sat Mar 25 12:46:13 2006] : (2) Kibin: (How heavy would that be in grams?)
[Sat Mar 25 12:46:19 2006] : (1) GM: (With the caveat that you made it yourself, sacrificing XP)
[Sat Mar 25 12:46:23 2006] : (3) Elorin: (though you did require that I have the Craft Wondrous Item feat)
[Sat Mar 25 12:46:38 2006] : (1) GM: (249929.19199999998)
[Sat Mar 25 12:47:14 2006] : ** (3) Elorin thinks there was probably a rounding error in that calculation **
[Sat Mar 25 12:47:21 2006] : (1) GM: (Specifically 0.4573150591647896 cubic feet, although a bit more than that due to imperfect stacking)
[Sat Mar 25 12:47:50 2006] : (1) GM: (Link to a conersion website)
[Sat Mar 25 12:48:03 2006] : (2) Kibin: (Actually, it seems like it would be 1.2 cubic meters.
[Sat Mar 25 12:48:11 2006] : (4) Kaylin: ([1650 + 2275 + 3775 + 2275 + 2275] -> 12250)
[Sat Mar 25 12:48:15 2006] : (2) Kibin: (Oh wait, ooops.
[Sat Mar 25 12:48:38 2006] : (2) Kibin: (Nevermind. :P)
[Sat Mar 25 12:48:44 2006] : ** (4) Kaylin buys a bunch of scrolls: Planar Binding, Statue, Forcecage, Mass invisility, and Mage's Sword **
[Sat Mar 25 12:49:12 2006] : (1) GM: (Just in case Jason ever gets dominated again?)
[Sat Mar 25 12:49:29 2006] : (4) Kaylin: (Never hurts to have safety nets)
[Sat Mar 25 12:49:34 2006] : (1) GM: Oh, and are you also buying the focus for Mage's Sword, and the Material Component for Forcecage?
[Sat Mar 25 12:49:40 2006] : ** (2) Kibin puts on his new gloves. Ooo, more dexterity now! **
[Sat Mar 25 12:50:26 2006] : (4) Kaylin: (Yeah, ought to do that as well...)
[Sat Mar 25 12:50:38 2006] : (2) Kibin: Shouldn't we sell our stuff we got?
[Sat Mar 25 12:51:48 2006] : (2) Kibin: (*pokes*)
[Sat Mar 25 12:52:09 2006] : (1) GM: (Didn't we already do so, after completing your initiation?)
[Sat Mar 25 12:52:17 2006] : (2) Kibin: (No, not yet.)
[Sat Mar 25 12:52:48 2006] : (3) Elorin: (let's see, I've still got nodes for Halfling Dragonslayer and Beholder, and I usually delete those after we sell)
[Sat Mar 25 12:54:17 2006] : (1) GM: Ah, well, from the beholder..... [3500+800/2+400/2+1400/2+12/2+11/2+50/2+500/2+11/2+800/2+100/2+5500/2] -> 8291
[Sat Mar 25 12:54:30 2006] : (2) Kibin: (And from the dragon slayer...)
[Sat Mar 25 12:55:04 2006] : (3) Elorin: (he's where your new gloves come from, as I recall)
[Sat Mar 25 12:55:15 2006] : (2) Kibin: (I kept the gloves of dexterity instead, and replacing them with the old gloves.
[Sat Mar 25 12:55:28 2006] : (2) Kibin: (And? We haven't sold the rest of the stuff yet.)
[Sat Mar 25 12:55:47 2006] : (1) GM: What + on those gloves you're trading in? 4? [16000/2+12700/2+8000/2+2000/2+28*20/2+2*10/2] -> 19640,
[Sat Mar 25 12:56:04 2006] : (2) Kibin: (Yeah, plus 4)
[Sat Mar 25 12:56:24 2006] : (1) GM: From the halfling dragonslayer, then.
[Sat Mar 25 12:56:36 2006] : (1) GM: So [8291+19640] -> 27931
[Sat Mar 25 12:56:39 2006] : ** (4) Kaylin also buys a potion of Cure Serious Wounds **
[Sat Mar 25 12:56:51 2006] : (2) Kibin: (So half the upgrade cost from +4 to +6 I would share among the rest of the group.)
[Sat Mar 25 12:56:52 2006] : (1) GM: [27931/6] -> 4655
[Sat Mar 25 12:57:00 2006] : (1) GM: [27931.0/6.0] -> 4655.16666667
[Sat Mar 25 12:57:30 2006] : ** (4) Kaylin asks the shopkeeper for use of the crafting portal **
[Sat Mar 25 12:57:32 2006] : (3) Elorin: [8291+19640+20000] -> 47931
[Sat Mar 25 12:57:45 2006] : (3) Elorin: [47931/6.0] -> 7988.5 per person
[Sat Mar 25 12:58:00 2006] : (3) Elorin: [7988.5-20000] -> -12011.5 for Kibin
[Sat Mar 25 12:58:57 2006] : (2) Kibin: (You sure?)
[Sat Mar 25 12:59:08 2006] : (2) Kibin: (*goes check that...*)
[Sat Mar 25 12:59:46 2006] : (1) GM: Shoppe keeper: Oh, sure; standard fee, 100 gp.
[Sat Mar 25 12:59:53 2006] : (9) Eldon Quickfoot: (Is the devil up to anything?)
[Sat Mar 25 13:00:14 2006] : ** (4) Kaylin pays 100 GP and goes and crafts, comes back out with a Dismissal prepared **
[Sat Mar 25 13:00:30 2006] : (2) Kibin: (The gloves of dexterity +4 sell for 8,000 GP. The gloves of dexterity +6 sell for 18,000 GP....)
[Sat Mar 25 13:00:39 2006] : (1) GM: Elorin's counting full price for upgrade, Kibin's counting half.....
[Sat Mar 25 13:00:54 2006] : (1) GM: (He's kinda paralized at the moment)
[Sat Mar 25 13:01:06 2006] : (3) Elorin: (I count full price for anything we keep)
[Sat Mar 25 13:01:19 2006] : (2) Kibin: (Well, I'm not. :P)
[Sat Mar 25 13:01:36 2006] : (2) Kibin: [7988.5-10000] -> -2011.5
[Sat Mar 25 13:01:56 2006] : (3) Elorin: (otherwise, people who got lucky and just happened to be able to use more of the loot we find than others would get disproportionately large shares)
[Sat Mar 25 13:01:57 2006] : (2) Kibin: (So I'll only lose -2011.5 gold pieces...)
[Sat Mar 25 13:03:11 2006] : (2) Kibin: (And you expect me to pay more than it should be worth? :P)
[Sat Mar 25 13:03:28 2006] : (3) Elorin: (no, I expect you to pay what you would have to to buy it)
[Sat Mar 25 13:03:48 2006] : (3) Elorin: (I always have, and you haven't complained before that I remember...)
[Sat Mar 25 13:03:58 2006] : (2) Kibin: (Because I didn't do the math. :P)
[Sat Mar 25 13:04:29 2006] : (4) Kaylin: (We'd sell it for 10,000... then you'd buy it from a shopkeeper for 20,000... net effect: You're down 20000 - 10000/6, we're all up 10000/6, right?)
[Sat Mar 25 13:05:06 2006] : (4) Kaylin: (example numbers, though)
[Sat Mar 25 13:05:43 2006] : (3) Elorin: (I count unsold party loot as a shop that always both charges and gives list price)
[Sat Mar 25 13:06:34 2006] : (3) Elorin: (well, maybe not exactly like that, as that could allow exploiting the system)
[Sat Mar 25 13:07:15 2006] : (3) Elorin: (hmm, not sure, that might actually be exactly how it should run, though...)
[Sat Mar 25 13:08:55 2006] : (3) Elorin: (anyway, example, party gets 120000 worth of loot, none of it cash; one person can use an item worth 20k from it but everyone else just wants to sell it all. Should that one person get 10000 more loot than everyone else?)
[Sat Mar 25 13:09:42 2006] : (2) Kibin: (But doesn't our GM balance loot drops anyway?)
[Sat Mar 25 13:10:13 2006] : (1) GM: (they are actually mostly random; occasional NPC's have equipment taylored to them, but for the most part, random treasure)
[Sat Mar 25 13:10:22 2006] : (3) Elorin: (it's mostly randomly generated, I think. I'm pretty sure he only specifies the total value and any specific items useful for the NPC)
[Sat Mar 25 13:10:47 2006] : (2) Kibin: (Meh.)
[Sat Mar 25 13:11:15 2006] : (2) Kibin: (My 10,000 gold pieces! :P)
[Sat Mar 25 13:11:51 2006] : (3) Elorin: (you're outnumbered)
[Sat Mar 25 13:12:43 2006] : (3) Elorin: (and how will you like it if the random loot starts all going to someone else later?)
[Sat Mar 25 13:12:55 2006] : (2) Kibin: (Wouldn't mind.)
[Sat Mar 25 13:13:07 2006] : (3) Elorin: (better to be certain of fairness at all times)
[Sat Mar 25 13:13:59 2006] : (9) Eldon Quickfoot: (I like Elorins system. Makes sense to me)
[Sat Mar 25 13:14:00 2006] : (3) Elorin: (you honestly wouldn't care about someone getting *DOUBLE* the amount of loot you do?)
[Sat Mar 25 13:14:49 2006] : (2) Kibin: (I don't use gold much anyway. :P)
[Sat Mar 25 13:15:09 2006] : (4) Kaylin: (then why are you debating about gold at the moment?)
[Sat Mar 25 13:15:23 2006] : (2) Kibin: (Ah fine. :(
[Sat Mar 25 13:15:48 2006] : (1) GM: Ah, so I can finalize Jason's current cash total, then?
[Sat Mar 25 13:16:37 2006] : (2) Kibin: (Meh. :P)
[Sat Mar 25 13:16:39 2006] : (1) GM: After Jason completes his transactions, and takes his gold, he leaves the shop.
[Sat Mar 25 13:16:45 2006] : whispering to GM, [1d4] -> [4] = (4)
[Sat Mar 25 13:17:06 2006] : (4) Kaylin: (how much gold are we all up on, then?)
[Sat Mar 25 13:17:24 2006] : (3) Elorin: [47931/6.0] -> 7988.5 per person
[Sat Mar 25 13:17:30 2006] : (3) Elorin: [7988.5-20000] -> -12011.5 for Kibin
[Sat Mar 25 13:18:16 2006] : (2) Kibin: (And all of that gold goes to waste, disappearing into nothingness? :P)
[Sat Mar 25 13:18:29 2006] : (3) Elorin: (no, it goes to the rest of the party)
[Sat Mar 25 13:18:30 2006] : (9) Eldon Quickfoot: (It helped pay for your gloves)
[Sat Mar 25 13:18:49 2006] : (3) Elorin: (if I'd reduced your payment to 10k, the total gain for everyone would have gone down)
[Sat Mar 25 13:19:00 2006] : (2) Kibin: (You didn't include the 10k extra that you should have gotten.)
[Sat Mar 25 13:19:07 2006] : (3) Elorin: (and 1/6 of it went back to you)
[Sat Mar 25 13:19:11 2006] : (1) GM: (actually, he did)
[Sat Mar 25 13:20:24 2006] : (2) Kibin: (Full selling price for the gloves?)
[Sat Mar 25 13:20:45 2006] : (3) Elorin: (I included it all)
[Sat Mar 25 13:21:01 2006] : (3) Elorin: (8k for the +4 gloves and 20k for the upgrade)
[Sat Mar 25 13:21:09 2006] : (1) GM: (Bit of fun math, taking different portions of them at different steps; it worked out.)
[Sat Mar 25 13:21:35 2006] : (2) Kibin: (Oookay.)
[Sat Mar 25 13:22:57 2006] : ** (2) Kibin says, "I'm ready to go back now..." **
[Sat Mar 25 13:23:18 2006] : (4) Kaylin: Jason, are you ready as well?
[Sat Mar 25 13:24:06 2006] : (1) GM: (After money issues were dealt with, he walked off....)
[Sat Mar 25 13:25:05 2006] : (4) Kaylin: (oh, ok)
[Sat Mar 25 13:25:12 2006] : (1) GM: (Taking his own route back)
[Sat Mar 25 13:25:14 2006] : (4) Kaylin: All right Kibin, let's go and give the boys their money.
[Sat Mar 25 13:25:45 2006] : ** (4) Kaylin walks over to Kibin **
[Sat Mar 25 13:25:52 2006] : ** (2) Kibin grumbles. **
[Sat Mar 25 13:26:46 2006] : (4) Kaylin: Kaylin casts Greater Teleport ( level 7, "Teleports without error." )
[Sat Mar 25 13:26:54 2006] : (4) Kaylin: (back to the gang)
[Sat Mar 25 13:27:21 2006] : (1) GM: Back at camp, Big Red is still lying there, snoring slightly.
[Sat Mar 25 13:27:26 2006] : (3) Elorin: Ah, there you are. Welcome back to the boring scene of a crippled devil and dead shopkeeper.
[Sat Mar 25 13:27:50 2006] : (2) Kibin: (Is Elorin 17th level yet?)
[Sat Mar 25 13:27:53 2006] : (3) Elorin: (yes)
[Sat Mar 25 13:27:54 2006] : (4) Kaylin: Well, I prepared a Dismissal while in the crafting portal, so I suppose we could send him back now and spare us all some agony.
[Sat Mar 25 13:28:16 2006] : (2) Kibin: The contract said for it to be tomorrow. Not today.
[Sat Mar 25 13:28:39 2006] : (3) Elorin: True, but that's easily enough changed.
[Sat Mar 25 13:29:01 2006] : (2) Kibin: And about the sword?
[Sat Mar 25 13:29:03 2006] : (4) Kaylin: With all parties' permission, I think today would be allowable.
[Sat Mar 25 13:29:05 2006] : (9) Eldon Quickfoot: "Uh...If you send him back today, I doubt he will be bound."
[Sat Mar 25 13:29:14 2006] : (9) Eldon Quickfoot: "Well, there's that."
[Sat Mar 25 13:29:17 2006] : (3) Elorin: We just have to get him to agree first.
[Sat Mar 25 13:29:19 2006] : (4) Kaylin: Hmm. I suppose he would try to misinterpret that.
[Sat Mar 25 13:29:30 2006] : (9) Eldon Quickfoot: (What about the sword? We didn't say we''d get it.)
[Sat Mar 25 13:30:03 2006] : (2) Kibin: (And he can't get it either. Thus, we have no reason to keep him around, and can kill him while he sleeps.)
[Sat Mar 25 13:30:28 2006] : (4) Kaylin: (we're theoretically not evil)
[Sat Mar 25 13:30:40 2006] : (2) Kibin: (Yes, but not all of us are lawful.)
[Sat Mar 25 13:30:44 2006] : (4) Kaylin: (and while killing evil might technically be Good, I don't think doing it while they're helpless is Good)
[Sat Mar 25 13:31:55 2006] : (3) Elorin: We never forbade him to contact us, which a being of his power should be able to do without coming to this plane. If he becomes absolutely convinced the sword is necessary to defeat the invasion, he can explain why to us and ask for permission.
[Sat Mar 25 13:32:16 2006] : (3) Elorin: (brb)
[Sat Mar 25 13:32:30 2006] : (4) Kaylin: Why don't we wake him up and confer with him?
[Sat Mar 25 13:32:36 2006] : (2) Kibin: But can he do it by himself?
[Sat Mar 25 13:34:29 2006] : (2) Kibin: (BRB too, sandwich time.)
[Sat Mar 25 13:43:13 2006] : (1) GM: After about four hours, Jason shows up, walking without disturbing the grass underneath him.
[Sat Mar 25 13:44:39 2006] : (2) Kibin: (Back.)
[Sat Mar 25 13:45:58 2006] : (3) Elorin: (huh, Pit Fiends don't have anywhere near the versatility of high-level angels)
[Sat Mar 25 13:46:00 2006] : (2) Kibin: After all, we did bar him from talking to anyone about us...
[Sat Mar 25 13:46:17 2006] : (3) Elorin: (Solars cast as 20th level clerics, but Pit Fiends only get a specific set of SLA's)
[Sat Mar 25 13:48:15 2006] : (3) Elorin: Hmm, maybe a specific exception for contacting us if he is absolutely convinced getting that sword is necessary to defeat the invasion of the adamantine machine-like things?
[Sat Mar 25 13:49:22 2006] : (2) Kibin: We could just return him and let everything sort itself out...
[Sat Mar 25 13:50:16 2006] : (9) Eldon Quickfoot: "That sounds about right."
[Sat Mar 25 13:52:28 2006] : (3) Elorin: Which, the exception or just letting everything sort itself out?
[Sat Mar 25 13:55:02 2006] : (9) Eldon Quickfoot: "Just return him tommorrow - The exception may result in errors in negotiation."
[Sat Mar 25 13:56:39 2006] : (3) Elorin: Well, I suppose I should get on with the Raising, but first... Kaylin, do you have Limited Wish prepared? I'd like to change a few of the spells I can cast.
[Sat Mar 25 13:57:50 2006] : (4) Kaylin: As a matter of fact, I do.
[Sat Mar 25 13:58:33 2006] : (2) Kibin: I guess you use that for emergencies?
[Sat Mar 25 13:58:43 2006] : (4) Kaylin: Indeed.
[Sat Mar 25 13:59:08 2006] : (3) Elorin: Good. This'll save a diamond, among other things.
[Sat Mar 25 13:59:40 2006] : (3) Elorin: (switching out Sanctuary for Shield of Faith, Remove Fear for Endure Elements, Searing Light for Invisibility Purge, Dimensional Anchor for Death Ward, Slay Living for Raise Dead, Fire Storm for Greater Spell Immunity)
[Sat Mar 25 13:59:48 2006] : (9) Eldon Quickfoot: (Uh...Raise dead drops you a level)
[Sat Mar 25 13:59:59 2006] : (3) Elorin: (by my calculations, I need to go back 8 levels for that)
[Sat Mar 25 14:00:02 2006] : (2) Kibin: (You do know I have endure elements?)
[Sat Mar 25 14:00:03 2006] : (3) Elorin: (so does Resurrection)
[Sat Mar 25 14:00:08 2006] : (1) GM: (So does anything short of True Ressurection)
[Sat Mar 25 14:00:21 2006] : (3) Elorin: (and I'm still a level short of True Resurrection)
[Sat Mar 25 14:00:22 2006] : (9) Eldon Quickfoot: (Ah, thanks)
[Sat Mar 25 14:01:05 2006] : (3) Elorin: (well, Remove Fear isn't very useful for a party that's immune to fear...)
[Sat Mar 25 14:01:22 2006] : (2) Kibin: (Of course, can only cast three of them. Hmmmm.)
[Sat Mar 25 14:01:36 2006] : (1) GM: Splitting all XP costs evenly, eight levels is 200 xp each; as it's a minimum of 300 for Limited Wish, Kaylin loses 300 xp on the casting, Elorin 200 xp.
[Sat Mar 25 14:02:04 2006] : (4) Kaylin: (sounds good)
[Sat Mar 25 14:02:15 2006] : ** (3) Elorin spends 10 minutes casting Raise Dead **
[Sat Mar 25 14:02:21 2006] : (3) Elorin: Elorin casts Level 5 Spell ( level 5, "Spell slot tracking device" )
[Sat Mar 25 14:02:46 2006] : (4) Kaylin: Kaylin casts Limited Wish ( level 7, "Alters reality-within spell limits." )
[Sat Mar 25 14:03:21 2006] : (2) Kibin: (Hmmm. When does Kaylin get level 9 spells?)
[Sat Mar 25 14:03:29 2006] : (1) GM: 17th.
[Sat Mar 25 14:03:51 2006] : (4) Kaylin: (next level :>)
[Sat Mar 25 14:04:13 2006] : (1) GM: The smith staggers to his feet.
[Sat Mar 25 14:04:14 2006] : (3) Elorin: (the major drawback of spontaneous casters: I get higher level spells 1 level later)
[Sat Mar 25 14:04:47 2006] : (4) Kaylin: (Dear Wish: For my 17th level I'd like world domination, another spellbook, some really cool spells, and a soda)
[Sat Mar 25 14:04:48 2006] : (1) GM: Smith: Is it dead?
[Sat Mar 25 14:06:05 2006] : (1) GM: Smith: Wait..... wasn't it night, earlier?
[Sat Mar 25 14:06:38 2006] : (2) Kibin: You know, you should probally go back inside...
[Sat Mar 25 14:06:39 2006] : (9) Eldon Quickfoot: "You died, we found out all the aligned planes are being attacked by some sort of monsters and decided that was a bit more important."
[Sat Mar 25 14:07:07 2006] : (3) Elorin: No, but we have good reason not to kill it. We've known for a while that strange golem-like things have been invading the upper planes, and apparently they're attacking the lower planes too. We're letting it go to continue fighting against them, but only with some pretty strict conditions.
[Sat Mar 25 14:07:34 2006] : (4) Kaylin: (I need a break... back in about 15 minutes or so, NPC me?)
[Sat Mar 25 14:07:35 2006] : (2) Kibin: Yeah. And none of the restrictions include not being able to attack you...
[Sat Mar 25 14:07:56 2006] : (2) Kibin: Hmmm. Of course it can't attack anything for a while...
[Sat Mar 25 14:08:16 2006] : (1) GM: Smith: Ah. Well. I suppose I'll have to hire a cleric to cast a few things on my shop...... (sigh)
[Sat Mar 25 14:08:29 2006] : (3) Elorin: It'll be kind of hard for it to attack him without coming back to the material plane, which is forbidden...
[Sat Mar 25 14:08:46 2006] : (1) GM: Smith: Good to hear.
[Sat Mar 25 14:08:55 2006] : (2) Kibin: Or without fixing his tendons.
[Sat Mar 25 14:09:07 2006] : (1) GM: Smith: Umm.... I really do hate to impose, but....
[Sat Mar 25 14:09:19 2006] : (1) GM: The smith gestures at the wounds still covering him.
[Sat Mar 25 14:10:44 2006] : (2) Kibin: (*pokes Elorin*)
[Sat Mar 25 14:10:49 2006] : (3) Elorin: Elorin casts Heal ( level 6, "Cures 10 points/level of damage, all diseases and mental conditions" )
[Sat Mar 25 14:10:50 2006] : (3) Elorin: Elorin casts Level 6 Spell ( level 6, "Spell slot tracking device" )
[Sat Mar 25 14:10:55 2006] : (3) Elorin: Sorry about that.
[Sat Mar 25 14:11:14 2006] : (1) GM: Smith: My fault for throwing anvils where they don't belong. Speaking of which.....
[Sat Mar 25 14:11:57 2006] : (1) GM: The smith walks around, easily picking up the anvils he tossed earlier, and dropping them into a sack much too small to store them.
[Sat Mar 25 14:12:19 2006] : (2) Kibin: (Is Elorin level 17 and can fly?)
[Sat Mar 25 14:12:37 2006] : (3) Elorin: (yes)
[Sat Mar 25 14:12:46 2006] : (2) Kibin: (Ah, okay.)
[Sat Mar 25 14:13:24 2006] : (1) GM: Smith: Oh, I need to finish your armor....
[Sat Mar 25 14:13:39 2006] : (1) GM: The smith walks off back to his shop, carrying his hammer lighly in one hand.
[Sat Mar 25 14:13:49 2006] : (2) Kibin: How do you do that?
[Sat Mar 25 14:14:04 2006] : (1) GM: You notice that the business end of the hammer looks to be a block of steel about the size of the anvils he'd been tossing around.
[Sat Mar 25 14:14:08 2006] : (1) GM: Smith: Do what?
[Sat Mar 25 14:14:18 2006] : (2) Kibin: Hold that heavy hammer like that.
[Sat Mar 25 14:14:24 2006] : (2) Kibin: And those anvils...
[Sat Mar 25 14:14:44 2006] : (1) GM: Smith: Oh, when you've seen as much as I have, you learn a few tricks.
[Sat Mar 25 14:15:15 2006] : (1) GM: Smith: And I've got a really good back brace, I've done some reading, was always pretty strong, growing up, work out.....
[Sat Mar 25 14:15:59 2006] : (1) GM: Smith: Also.... I've not got the usual set of parents. I wear my hat all the time to keep from putting the customers too off.
[Sat Mar 25 14:16:26 2006] : (2) Kibin: What were your parents?
[Sat Mar 25 14:16:47 2006] : (1) GM: The smith grins for a moment, but doesn't answer.
[Sat Mar 25 14:17:03 2006] : (1) GM: He then continues on his way to his shop.
[Sat Mar 25 14:17:48 2006] : (2) Kibin: Oookay then.
[Sat Mar 25 14:17:59 2006] : (1) GM: Aftera time, you hear the sounds of bellows running, and a hammer and anvil clanking.
[Sat Mar 25 14:18:41 2006] : whispering to GM, 33*30
[Sat Mar 25 14:18:49 2006] : whispering to GM, [33*30] -> 990
[Sat Mar 25 14:19:10 2006] : whispering to GM, [40*40] -> 1600
[Sat Mar 25 14:19:11 2006] : (3) Elorin: Sooo, I guess we should look into these newly arrived barbarians, wait for him to finish my armor modification and then start investigating that whole invasion mess.
[Sat Mar 25 14:19:34 2006] : (1) GM: Jason: Ah, a busy, busy day ahead.....
[Sat Mar 25 14:19:39 2006] : (2) Kibin: Let's send the demon back first.
[Sat Mar 25 14:19:54 2006] : (3) Elorin: But first, rest for the night.
[Sat Mar 25 14:20:03 2006] : (2) Kibin: Yeah.
[Sat Mar 25 14:20:04 2006] : (9) Eldon Quickfoot: (Time passes?)
[Sat Mar 25 14:20:17 2006] : (1) GM: Yep. The next morning.....
[Sat Mar 25 14:20:26 2006] : (9) Eldon Quickfoot: (Very little have we done. Adventure more, we must. Yoda, I am.)
[Sat Mar 25 14:21:35 2006] : (2) Kibin: (Hmmmm, only half race that I can see without wings is half-dragon.)
[Sat Mar 25 14:21:54 2006] : (1) GM: (Did he say he was a half-breed?)
[Sat Mar 25 14:22:04 2006] : (2) Kibin: (Hmmm, maybe not.)
[Sat Mar 25 14:22:51 2006] : (1) GM: The next morning, you see a bird has landed on top of Big Red, and is quietly pecking him.
[Sat Mar 25 14:23:02 2006] : (1) Big red: Shoo. Shoo little bird. Go fly away......
[Sat Mar 25 14:23:03 2006] : ** (2) Kibin chuckles. **
[Sat Mar 25 14:23:21 2006] : ** (9) Eldon Quickfoot pokes the spellcasters. **
[Sat Mar 25 14:23:30 2006] : (9) Eldon Quickfoot: (Don't know which one has dismissal)
[Sat Mar 25 14:23:57 2006] : (1) GM: Kaylin, I think.
[Sat Mar 25 14:24:11 2006] : (3) Elorin: Kaylin, you're the one with Dismissal. It's time.
[Sat Mar 25 14:24:18 2006] : (2) Kibin: So should we save him from the vicious little bird?
[Sat Mar 25 14:24:44 2006] : (9) Eldon Quickfoot: "Well, I'm not sure what would happen to a bird that's eaten bits of a devil..."
[Sat Mar 25 14:24:52 2006] : ** (9) Eldon Quickfoot shoos the bird away. **
[Sat Mar 25 14:25:03 2006] : (1) GM: The bird flys off.
[Sat Mar 25 14:25:12 2006] : ** (9) Eldon Quickfoot pokes Kaylin **
[Sat Mar 25 14:25:44 2006] : ** (9) Eldon Quickfoot begins singing next to Kaylin **
[Sat Mar 25 14:25:49 2006] : (9) Eldon Quickfoot: [1d20] -> [12] = (12)
[Sat Mar 25 14:25:57 2006] : Kaylin casts Dismissal ( level 5, "Forces a creature to return to native plane." )
[Sat Mar 25 14:25:58 2006] : Kaylin can cast Dismissal 1 more time
[Sat Mar 25 14:26:01 2006] : (9) Eldon Quickfoot: (Average singing)
[Sat Mar 25 14:26:27 2006] : (9) Eldon Quickfoot: (Although '99 bottles of wine on the wall' would probably result in a -5)
[Sat Mar 25 14:26:32 2006] : ** (9) Eldon Quickfoot stops singing **
[Sat Mar 25 14:26:33 2006] : (1) GM: And.... Big Red vanishes from view.
[Sat Mar 25 14:26:53 2006] : (2) Kibin: Hmmmm, wonder where he is now.
[Sat Mar 25 14:26:56 2006] : (9) Eldon Quickfoot: "So...What next?"
[Sat Mar 25 14:27:06 2006] : whispering to GM, 20 or less - wrong plane: [1d100] -> [69] = (69)
[Sat Mar 25 14:27:19 2006] : (2) Kibin: Elorin could check that he is where he's supposed to be?
[Sat Mar 25 14:27:25 2006] : (3) Elorin: I could try to check up on him, but he's under no obligation not to resist the scrying...
[Sat Mar 25 14:27:38 2006] : (2) Kibin: Detect location...
[Sat Mar 25 14:28:05 2006] : (3) Elorin: Oh, right.
[Sat Mar 25 14:28:24 2006] : (3) Elorin: I suppose it would be nice to know where he ended up.
[Sat Mar 25 14:28:26 2006] : (3) Elorin: Elorin casts Discern Location ( level 8, "Reveals exact location of creature or object." )
[Sat Mar 25 14:28:27 2006] : (3) Elorin: Elorin casts Level 8 Spell ( level 8, "Spell slot tracking device" )
[Sat Mar 25 14:28:51 2006] : (4) Kaylin: (back)
[Sat Mar 25 14:28:56 2006] : (9) Eldon Quickfoot: (Hmm...Might have to re-work skills)
[Sat Mar 25 14:29:00 2006] : (9) Eldon Quickfoot: (A bit)
[Sat Mar 25 14:29:07 2006] : (3) Elorin: (oh?)
[Sat Mar 25 14:29:34 2006] : (9) Eldon Quickfoot: (I just counted out new skill points - I didn't actualy check for cross-class)
[Sat Mar 25 14:29:37 2006] : whispering to Elorin, Pit 199378, The abyss level 654962864
[Sat Mar 25 14:29:52 2006] : (3) Elorin: He's somewhere in the abyss.
[Sat Mar 25 14:30:36 2006] : (2) Kibin: Hopefully we won't see him for a while.
[Sat Mar 25 14:30:37 2006] : whispering to Kaylin, Oh, and you cast a dismissal while NPC'd
[Sat Mar 25 14:30:46 2006] : (2) Kibin: Wait for armor, then barbarians, or barbarians then armor?
[Sat Mar 25 14:31:07 2006] : (4) Kaylin (whispering): OK, thanks
[Sat Mar 25 14:31:11 2006] : (3) Elorin: I wonder what his fellows will think when they find him so weak. :D
[Sat Mar 25 14:31:48 2006] : (3) Elorin: (his strength is back up to a mere one, I believe)
[Sat Mar 25 14:31:59 2006] : (1) GM: (Two - complete rest)
[Sat Mar 25 14:32:19 2006] : (9) Eldon Quickfoot: "He will likely have some sort of restorative available. Wether he can get to it is another thing."
[Sat Mar 25 14:32:22 2006] : (2) Kibin: Hehe. That should go away after a week or two.
[Sat Mar 25 14:32:32 2006] : (3) Elorin: (compared to his normal 37)
[Sat Mar 25 14:32:45 2006] : (2) Kibin: Or maybe three.
[Sat Mar 25 14:33:18 2006] : (2) Kibin: Anyway... next?
[Sat Mar 25 14:33:50 2006] : (9) Eldon Quickfoot: (So...Barbarians...Missed that plot line)
[Sat Mar 25 14:34:00 2006] : (2) Kibin: (Read the logs once in a while...)
[Sat Mar 25 14:34:24 2006] : (3) Elorin: (no-longer-dead shopkeeper mentioned them when we were shopping)
[Sat Mar 25 14:34:31 2006] : (9) Eldon Quickfoot: (Hmm...Not sure I have that bookmarked)
[Sat Mar 25 14:34:40 2006] : (9) Eldon Quickfoot: (Or maybe just don't remember them)
[Sat Mar 25 14:34:52 2006] : (3) Elorin: (last session)
[Sat Mar 25 14:34:58 2006] : (3) Elorin: (before the Pit Fiend came along)
[Sat Mar 25 14:35:04 2006] : (2) Kibin: We could wait afew days for Elorin to have his armor back...
[Sat Mar 25 14:35:10 2006] : (9) Eldon Quickfoot: (Rings a bell - Faintly)
[Sat Mar 25 14:35:31 2006] : (2) Kibin: (Oh, and can we assume Rilyrr did the three maximized castings of greater magic fang on me?)
[Sat Mar 25 14:35:34 2006] : (3) Elorin: I think he said a week, earlier.
[Sat Mar 25 14:36:27 2006] : (2) Kibin: Week, few days, there's not much difference.
[Sat Mar 25 14:37:27 2006] : (1) GM: (Let see... did he ever end up with a Bead of Karma?)
[Sat Mar 25 14:37:36 2006] : (3) Elorin: (yes)
[Sat Mar 25 14:37:42 2006] : (3) Elorin: (bought the whole strand)
[Sat Mar 25 14:37:58 2006] : (1) GM: Then sure.
[Sat Mar 25 14:38:26 2006] : (2) Kibin: (So... That's +5 to both claws and bite?)
[Sat Mar 25 14:38:36 2006] : (1) GM: So, what's everyone doing this morning?
[Sat Mar 25 14:39:17 2006] : ** (2) Kibin is reading some of Kaylin's magic books, trying to comprehend some of the stuff in it.] **
[Sat Mar 25 14:39:40 2006] : (9) Eldon Quickfoot: Varied acrobatics and weapons training.
[Sat Mar 25 14:40:18 2006] : ** (3) Elorin is up in the sky trying out my new wings **
[Sat Mar 25 14:40:34 2006] : ** (4) Kaylin is making stick figures in the dirt **
[Sat Mar 25 14:40:39 2006] : (3) Elorin: (faint cries of "Wheeeeeeeee!" can be occasionally heard on the ground)
[Sat Mar 25 14:40:49 2006] : (2) Kibin: (Hehe, that was funny, that animated village of stick people.)
[Sat Mar 25 14:41:07 2006] : ** (2) Kibin flies up to where Elorin is at to see what exactly he's doing... **
[Sat Mar 25 14:41:31 2006] : ** (3) Elorin dives through a few clouds **
[Sat Mar 25 14:41:51 2006] : ** (2) Kibin lands on a cloud, lays down in it, and watches Elorin trying out his wings. **
[Sat Mar 25 14:41:58 2006] : (2) Kibin: (on it*)
[Sat Mar 25 14:42:02 2006] : whispering to GM, [1d100] -> [68] = (68)
[Sat Mar 25 14:42:05 2006] : ** (9) Eldon Quickfoot does backwards and forwards flips, climbs a few trees, walks along a few branches... **
[Sat Mar 25 14:42:11 2006] : (2) Kibin: (And cloudwalking is fun. :)
[Sat Mar 25 14:42:56 2006] : ** (3) Elorin flies through the cloud Kibin is on, coming up from the bottom, and pokes him in the belly :P **
[Sat Mar 25 14:43:40 2006] : (2) Kibin: (You mean running into me?)
[Sat Mar 25 14:44:06 2006] : (3) Elorin: (no, I deliberately come up inside the cloud and poke you with my finger)
[Sat Mar 25 14:44:15 2006] : (2) Kibin: (Ah, okay.)
[Sat Mar 25 14:44:18 2006] : (3) Elorin: (and then run back down)
[Sat Mar 25 14:44:32 2006] : ** (2) Kibin pokes Elorin back through the cloud, still standing on it. **
[Sat Mar 25 14:44:47 2006] : (1) GM: Hanging out in the area until the armor is done, then?
[Sat Mar 25 14:45:06 2006] : (2) Kibin: (Or laying down on the cloud, rather.)
[Sat Mar 25 14:45:26 2006] : ** (9) Eldon Quickfoot finds a log of appropriate size and freshness and sets it up as a crude fencing post. **
[Sat Mar 25 14:45:41 2006] : ** (9) Eldon Quickfoot begins weapon training. **
[Sat Mar 25 14:45:59 2006] : ** (2) Kibin calls out to Elorin, asking, "Can you hover?" **
[Sat Mar 25 14:46:17 2006] : (3) Elorin: Yep
[Sat Mar 25 14:46:21 2006] : ** (3) Elorin hovers in front of Kibin **
[Sat Mar 25 14:46:52 2006] : (1) GM: After about a week, the smith returns, armor in hand.
[Sat Mar 25 14:47:04 2006] : ** (3) Elorin flies down low and buries an arrow in Eldon's fencing post from directly above **
[Sat Mar 25 14:47:44 2006] : ** (2) Kibin does a running jump off the cloud, freefalling to the ground below like he usually does to get down from high places. Weeeeeeeee! **
[Sat Mar 25 14:48:02 2006] : (1) GM: Smith: Your armor is ready.
[Sat Mar 25 14:48:23 2006] : ** (3) Elorin buys needle, thread, etc. and fixes his shirt during the week **
[Sat Mar 25 14:48:35 2006] : (3) Elorin: (taking 10 on that check)
[Sat Mar 25 14:48:49 2006] : (3) Elorin: Thank you.
[Sat Mar 25 14:48:56 2006] : ** (9) Eldon Quickfoot does a few handstands on the post once everybody else is done with it. **
[Sat Mar 25 14:48:58 2006] : ** (2) Kibin pulls up before hitting the ground, and lands. "Barbarians now, I guess." **
[Sat Mar 25 14:49:01 2006] : (3) Elorin: (can't remember, did he charge all in advance, or not?)
[Sat Mar 25 14:50:03 2006] : (1) GM: (Nope)
[Sat Mar 25 14:50:19 2006] : (3) Elorin: So, how much will that be, again?
[Sat Mar 25 14:50:59 2006] : (1) GM: Smith: Ah, you healed me up, and it didn't cost me anything in materials, what with mostly just removing a few select links; we'll call it good.
[Sat Mar 25 14:51:32 2006] : (3) Elorin: Thank you.
[Sat Mar 25 14:51:35 2006] : ** (3) Elorin tries it on **
[Sat Mar 25 14:52:23 2006] : (1) GM: It fits surprisingly well, although a little tricky to put on, the straps in the back are in a slightly awkward position, but it does it's job.
[Sat Mar 25 14:53:01 2006] : ** (2) Kibin is happy he decided to go with the bracers instead of a chainshirt. **
[Sat Mar 25 14:53:08 2006] : (3) Elorin: Good work.
[Sat Mar 25 14:53:30 2006] : ** (3) Elorin renews the Magic Vestment spell on it **
[Sat Mar 25 14:53:33 2006] : (1) GM: The smith nods, then walks back to his shop.
[Sat Mar 25 14:54:18 2006] : (2) Kibin: Off to talk with the barbarians, then?
[Sat Mar 25 14:54:39 2006] : whispering to GM, [1d100] -> [84] = (84)
[Sat Mar 25 14:59:21 2006] : (13) Kibin (enter): 14:59
[Sat Mar 25 14:59:25 2006] : (1) GM: Okay; router reset; anyone still online?
[Sat Mar 25 14:59:38 2006] : (13) Kibin: (The smith nodding and going back to his shop is last thing I saw.)
[Sat Mar 25 14:59:46 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot (enter): 14:59
[Sat Mar 25 15:00:24 2006] : (1) GM: And your's - "Off to talk with the barbarians, then?" was the last I saw.
[Sat Mar 25 15:00:26 2006] : (3) Elorin (exit): 15:00
[Sat Mar 25 15:00:35 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot: (Same here)
[Sat Mar 25 15:01:11 2006] : (2) Kibin (exit): 15:01
[Sat Mar 25 15:01:13 2006] : (9) Eldon Quickfoot (exit): 15:01
[Sat Mar 25 15:01:26 2006] : (1) GM: Still need Kaylin and Elorin to notice....
[Sat Mar 25 15:01:29 2006] : (4) Kaylin (exit): 15:01
[Sat Mar 25 15:02:41 2006] : (1) GM: Well, long as we're waiting anyway, I'm heading off to get a glass of water.
[Sat Mar 25 15:02:49 2006] : (15) Kaylin (enter): 15:02
[Sat Mar 25 15:04:24 2006] : (16) Elorin (enter): 15:04
[Sat Mar 25 15:04:39 2006] : (13) Kibin: Off to talk with the barbarians, then?(Repost)
[Sat Mar 25 15:04:56 2006] : (16) Elorin: (that was the last line I saw)
[Sat Mar 25 15:05:15 2006] : (1) GM: Router crashed; had to reset it. At least I can diagnose that from my machine.....
[Sat Mar 25 15:05:36 2006] : (1) GM: And that's everyone back, so.....
[Sat Mar 25 15:06:55 2006] : (13) Kibin: (Will you people do something already!)
[Sat Mar 25 15:07:02 2006] : (1) GM: Jason: Sounds like a plan.
[Sat Mar 25 15:07:52 2006] : (13) Kibin: (Is everyone waiting for someone else to talk?)
[Sat Mar 25 15:07:58 2006] : (1) GM: Looks like.
[Sat Mar 25 15:08:05 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot: "Sounds good to me."
[Sat Mar 25 15:08:28 2006] : (15) Kaylin: To me as well.
[Sat Mar 25 15:08:42 2006] : (16) Elorin: How about we ask the shopkeeper if he knows anything about them?
[Sat Mar 25 15:09:22 2006] : (13) Kibin: That sounds good too.
[Sat Mar 25 15:10:12 2006] : (13) Kibin: (Grrrr. :P)
[Sat Mar 25 15:10:46 2006] : (1) GM: Jason: Well, information first, I suppose; if the smith doesn't know much, we can always go searching after.
[Sat Mar 25 15:11:05 2006] : (13) Kibin: (When you're away from openRPG, can you please tell us?)
[Sat Mar 25 15:11:26 2006] : (1) GM: (Umm... who's that directed to?)
[Sat Mar 25 15:11:45 2006] : (13) Kibin: (Anyone who hasn't talked in a while?)
[Sat Mar 25 15:11:58 2006] : (1) GM: (everyone's posted rather recently.....)
[Sat Mar 25 15:12:30 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot: (I'm here)
[Sat Mar 25 15:12:37 2006] : (15) Kaylin: (I'm here)
[Sat Mar 25 15:12:42 2006] : (1) GM: Back in the cramped shop?
[Sat Mar 25 15:12:58 2006] : (13) Kibin: (Heh, not cramped for me, I'm only small. :)
[Sat Mar 25 15:13:11 2006] : ** (16) Elorin goes into the shop. "We were thinking of investigating those barbarians you mentioned earlier, but we thought we should ask what you know of them first." **
[Sat Mar 25 15:14:06 2006] : (1) GM: Smith: Oh, not too much; and I called them wild, not barbarians; they tend to walk around in full plate, so they obviously have something of civilization in them.
[Sat Mar 25 15:14:38 2006] : (1) GM: Smith: Good swords, too. Most carry javelins, as well.
[Sat Mar 25 15:14:40 2006] : (16) Elorin: Full plate? That's rather expensive to be putting on everyone.
[Sat Mar 25 15:15:14 2006] : (1) GM: Smith: What do you think dwarves spend all day doing?
[Sat Mar 25 15:16:01 2006] : (13) Kibin: Mining?
[Sat Mar 25 15:16:35 2006] : (1) GM: Smith: And what, pray tell, did you think they did with all that ore?
[Sat Mar 25 15:17:39 2006] : (13) Kibin: True.
[Sat Mar 25 15:18:01 2006] : (1) GM: Smith: Although, last I checked, they were camped out about three miles north of here, if that's any help.
[Sat Mar 25 15:19:32 2006] : (13) Kibin: Yeah, that would be good information to have.
[Sat Mar 25 15:20:35 2006] : (1) GM: Smith: Little clearing in the forest, although that's hard to tell from above; the surrounding trees reached over to cover the gap, but none of them actually are growing in the area.
[Sat Mar 25 15:21:19 2006] : (13) Kibin: There goes the idea of scouting overhead...
[Sat Mar 25 15:21:45 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot: "So...What are they like in personality?"
[Sat Mar 25 15:22:21 2006] : (1) GM: Smith: Displaced. Perhaps a bit desparate. They seem more driven than driving.
[Sat Mar 25 15:23:32 2006] : (13) Kibin: Anything else?
[Sat Mar 25 15:23:45 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot: "That would seem to indicate dwarves that have lost their homeland."
[Sat Mar 25 15:24:03 2006] : (15) Kaylin: What force would be strong enough to do such a thing?
[Sat Mar 25 15:25:07 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot: "Druager, drow, dragon(s)..."
[Sat Mar 25 15:25:16 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot: (Not sure if I spelt that right)
[Sat Mar 25 15:25:39 2006] : (15) Kaylin: Those would require much mustering... dwarves are fiere fighters.
[Sat Mar 25 15:26:00 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot: "True. But so are some other races."
[Sat Mar 25 15:26:18 2006] : (1) GM: Smith: Not really. They don't look as though they've been eating well. A few odd little holes in their armor, some patched.
[Sat Mar 25 15:26:20 2006] : (15) Kaylin: Indeed. We should go investigate this matter... my curiosity is perked.
[Sat Mar 25 15:26:27 2006] : (15) Kaylin: *piqed
[Sat Mar 25 15:26:39 2006] : (13) Kibin: That was fast.
[Sat Mar 25 15:26:55 2006] : (1) GM: Jason: Sounds like trouble's brewing.
[Sat Mar 25 15:27:44 2006] : (15) Kaylin: I wonder if perhaps the beings attacking the other planes are invading here?
[Sat Mar 25 15:27:57 2006] : (13) Kibin: It sounds like it.
[Sat Mar 25 15:28:14 2006] : (16) Elorin: Possible. Let's get going.
[Sat Mar 25 15:28:32 2006] : ** (14) Eldon Quickfoot gets going. **
[Sat Mar 25 15:28:35 2006] : (1) GM: Jason: Sounds like a plan.
[Sat Mar 25 15:28:39 2006] : (13) Kibin: What else could cause tiny holes in armor like that?
[Sat Mar 25 15:28:54 2006] : ** (15) Kaylin follows Eldon **
[Sat Mar 25 15:29:01 2006] : (1) GM: Heading north?
[Sat Mar 25 15:29:37 2006] : ** (13) Kibin follows Eldon on foot. **
[Sat Mar 25 15:30:31 2006] : (13) Kibin: (Hmmmm. Not a single living human in our group.)
[Sat Mar 25 15:30:51 2006] : (1) GM: Rilyrr, I think.
[Sat Mar 25 15:30:56 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot: (Yaay! Humans are overused in fantasy)
[Sat Mar 25 15:31:06 2006] : (13) Kibin: (Oh. Dang.)
[Sat Mar 25 15:31:09 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot: (Where is Rilyrr?)
[Sat Mar 25 15:31:16 2006] : (13) Kibin: (He must be disposed of. Then.)
[Sat Mar 25 15:31:51 2006] : (1) GM: (Player not in; character in Background, unless something important comes up that he's about the only one that can handle)
[Sat Mar 25 15:32:14 2006] : (1) GM: Spot checks?
[Sat Mar 25 15:32:28 2006] : (16) Elorin: Spot Skill Check: [1d20+10] -> [7,10] = (17)
[Sat Mar 25 15:32:31 2006] : (13) Kibin: [1d20+13] -> [3,13] = (16)
[Sat Mar 25 15:32:36 2006] : (13) Kibin: (Dang that sucked.)
[Sat Mar 25 15:32:41 2006] : (15) Kaylin: Swim Skill Check: [1d20-1] -> [6,-1] = (5)
[Sat Mar 25 15:32:43 2006] : (15) Kaylin: Spot Skill Check: [1d20+4] -> [6,4] = (10)
[Sat Mar 25 15:32:49 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot: [1d20] -> [10] = (10)
[Sat Mar 25 15:32:59 2006] : (15) Kaylin: (is it just me or can I not aim with a mouse)
[Sat Mar 25 15:33:41 2006] : whispering to Elorin, Kibin, Really low DC - you both spot two glints of plate in the bushes nearby your path.
[Sat Mar 25 15:33:48 2006] : (1) GM: Spot Skill Check: [1d20+13] -> [16,13] = (29)
[Sat Mar 25 15:34:08 2006] : (13) Kibin (whispering): Wouldn't blindsense pick it up pretty nicely?
[Sat Mar 25 15:34:25 2006] : whispering to Kibin, Yep; keep forgetting you have that......
[Sat Mar 25 15:34:40 2006] : (13) Kibin (whispering): Seeing as how bushes are counted as concealment, and not any type of cover...
[Sat Mar 25 15:34:45 2006] : ** (16) Elorin calls out "You know, shiny metal armor really doesn't help much when you're trying to hide" **
[Sat Mar 25 15:35:48 2006] : (15) Kaylin: {Yeah, plain as dayling...}
[Sat Mar 25 15:35:56 2006] : (1) GM: A four-foot tall, four foot wide humanoid shape in full plate, greatsword and three javelins strapped to the back steps out of the bushes.
[Sat Mar 25 15:36:18 2006] : (13) Kibin: (Seems kind of tall for a dwarf?)
[Sat Mar 25 15:36:38 2006] : (15) Kaylin: (seems wide for a humanoid)
[Sat Mar 25 15:36:43 2006] : (1) GM: Plated Shape: True, but it is handy when someone decides to start throwing things at us.
[Sat Mar 25 15:36:49 2006] : (13) Kibin: (Seems kind of square. O.o)
[Sat Mar 25 15:37:14 2006] : (13) Kibin: (Hey, it's that dwarf paladin from Goblins or something, with that really big shield! :D)
[Sat Mar 25 15:37:38 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot: "Little round things that go very fast, by any chance?"
[Sat Mar 25 15:38:36 2006] : (1) GM: Plated Shape: Not really; armor doesn't even seem to slow those down...... well, not that we find out about them until cleaning up the wound, later.... but the plate does help up close.
[Sat Mar 25 15:38:59 2006] : (15) Kaylin: (we have guns now?)
[Sat Mar 25 15:39:12 2006] : (1) GM: (Not you, no)
[Sat Mar 25 15:39:24 2006] : (13) Kibin: Knowledge: Local [1d20+5] -> [3,5] = (8)
[Sat Mar 25 15:39:34 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot: (Do you know about the invaders of the upper and lower planes?)
[Sat Mar 25 15:39:42 2006] : (13) Kibin: (To know where dwarves generally live... which probally failed.)
[Sat Mar 25 15:39:47 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot: "Yes; the've attacked both the upper and lower planes."
[Sat Mar 25 15:39:52 2006] : (15) Kaylin: (a little bit...)
[Sat Mar 25 15:40:15 2006] : (15) Kaylin: (what are they, invaders from the modern world?)
[Sat Mar 25 15:40:23 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot: (Robots! :D )
[Sat Mar 25 15:40:36 2006] : (15) Kaylin: (wewt)
[Sat Mar 25 15:40:40 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot: (Basically, mechanical beings with guns)
[Sat Mar 25 15:40:48 2006] : (15) Kaylin: (cooooool)
[Sat Mar 25 15:41:01 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot: (Not to tough, but a lot of them. Well, not to tough by celestial standards)
[Sat Mar 25 15:41:03 2006] : (13) Kibin: (We can have an enactment of Robot Pirate Island! Who wants eye patches!)
[Sat Mar 25 15:41:51 2006] : (1) GM: Plated Shape: Ah, well, that's worse than a local outbreak, then..... joy. Here we were hoping they were just after the mines... at least then we could smoke them out, eventually.
[Sat Mar 25 15:42:20 2006] : (13) Kibin: Adamantine mines, by any chance?
[Sat Mar 25 15:42:29 2006] : (15) Kaylin: (have we fought these things before?)
[Sat Mar 25 15:42:54 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot: (Nope - Derrel is fighting them, though)
[Sat Mar 25 15:42:57 2006] : (1) GM: (Nope - you've never run across them - just heard a few scattered bits from those who have)
[Sat Mar 25 15:43:09 2006] : (13) Kibin: (Yup, he's only died twice.)
[Sat Mar 25 15:43:11 2006] : (16) Elorin: (he's been True Res'd three times by what we've heard)
[Sat Mar 25 15:43:24 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot: "I think one of our sources mentioned they were adamantium, or something like that."
[Sat Mar 25 15:43:33 2006] : (15) Kaylin: It might be worth examining these invaders to learn more of their nature.
[Sat Mar 25 15:43:46 2006] : (15) Kaylin: (This sounds reminiscent of a Final Fantasy plotline...)
[Sat Mar 25 15:43:49 2006] : (15) Kaylin: (Magitek Armour, anyone?)
[Sat Mar 25 15:43:51 2006] : (1) GM: Plated Shape: Nah, mostly copper, gold, iron, and a few others. A little mithral, maybe. But there's little doubt those things are tough.
[Sat Mar 25 15:44:31 2006] : (13) Kibin: What are the projectiles made out of?
[Sat Mar 25 15:45:23 2006] : (1) GM: Plated Shape: Good steel, very well crafted. Quite a waste, for something used once.
[Sat Mar 25 15:45:47 2006] : (1) GM: Plated Shape: Speaking of which - did you happen to bring anything in the way of foodstock?
[Sat Mar 25 15:46:16 2006] : (13) Kibin: Not really, Elorin usually handles food.
[Sat Mar 25 15:47:13 2006] : whispering to GM, [Bad dice format] - [6dd6]
[Sat Mar 25 15:47:37 2006] : (16) Elorin: I provide food for the party magically, and while I could extend it to feed more people, there are limits.
[Sat Mar 25 15:47:47 2006] : (13) Kibin: (Ha, dragons don't really have to go out of their lair to eat. They can just eat rocks and adventurers that wander by. : ) Chromatic dragons, anyway.)
[Sat Mar 25 15:48:21 2006] : (16) Elorin: (hmm 18 people/cast, I could actually feed a fairly large horde with Heroes' Feast)
[Sat Mar 25 15:49:26 2006] : (1) GM: Plated Shape (sounding a bit dissapointed): Ah, well, Not much point in the ambush, then.
[Sat Mar 25 15:50:11 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot: "You know, you could trade for food."
[Sat Mar 25 15:50:24 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot: "You could even look for allies."
[Sat Mar 25 15:50:42 2006] : (13) Kibin: Wouldn't have succeeded even if noone spotted you. Impossible to sneak up on me.
[Sat Mar 25 15:51:07 2006] : (15) Kaylin: It actually is possible, he just doesn't know it...
[Sat Mar 25 15:51:35 2006] : (13) Kibin: Impossible for anyone on the material plane, anyway....
[Sat Mar 25 15:51:37 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot: (...OOC?)
[Sat Mar 25 15:51:55 2006] : (15) Kaylin: (it just requires a bit of violence beforehand)
[Sat Mar 25 15:52:33 2006] : (1) GM: Plated Shape: Trade? Yeah, with what? The hereditary armor off our backs, leaving us helpless in the face of the wilds? The tools and gold left behind in the disorginized retreat? Oh, I get it - take more than just food when raiding.....
[Sat Mar 25 15:53:06 2006] : (1) GM: The plated shape shakes it's head.
[Sat Mar 25 15:53:27 2006] : (13) Kibin: I think what he meant was getting a job or something. Like as a blacksmith.
[Sat Mar 25 15:53:48 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot: "Perhaps looking for others who have been similairly attacked."
[Sat Mar 25 15:54:45 2006] : (1) GM: Plated Shape: We had a colony of over a thousand. There's fifteen of us left, and we were fighting in our own homes.
[Sat Mar 25 15:55:12 2006] : ** (16) Elorin winces at the numbers **
[Sat Mar 25 15:55:23 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot: "I think perhaps an alliance covering the whole world is needed."
[Sat Mar 25 15:55:25 2006] : ** (15) Kaylin 's eyes widen **
[Sat Mar 25 15:55:39 2006] : (15) Kaylin: I don't know about you, but I feel like investigating the attackers...
[Sat Mar 25 15:56:04 2006] : (16) Elorin: That's not good.
[Sat Mar 25 15:56:24 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot: "Is there any way to alert as many people as possible?"
[Sat Mar 25 15:56:59 2006] : (13) Kibin: Maybe we could just use a wish to wish that there was no more adamantine in the world...
[Sat Mar 25 15:57:27 2006] : (16) Elorin: I think that might be just a tad beyond the power of a Wish spell.
[Sat Mar 25 15:57:32 2006] : (15) Kaylin: Wish is not that powerful
[Sat Mar 25 15:57:58 2006] : (1) GM: Plated Shape: We actually did take down quite a number of them. They all have some markings on them; numbers, from the look of it. Every time we broke one, it vanished, and a short while later, it was back, unharmed, through that strange hole in the air. Heh. They act much like a Sorceror's summons... faster, though. Numbers don't help much.
[Sat Mar 25 15:58:26 2006] : (13) Kibin: Has any of you tried an antimagic field?
[Sat Mar 25 15:58:39 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot: "It sounds like we need to stop them at the source, then."
[Sat Mar 25 15:59:42 2006] : (1) GM: Plated Shape: A few of the clerics did. Didn't help any. They couldn't be banished, one of those barriers that turn armor off didn't stop them.....
[Sat Mar 25 15:59:58 2006] : (16) Elorin: We could try convincing everyone we could find to ally against them, but that might take a while and probably wouldn't help all that much. We need to find where these things are coming from and stop the source.
[Sat Mar 25 16:00:01 2006] : (13) Kibin: Uh, barriers that turn armor off?>
[Sat Mar 25 16:00:31 2006] : (16) Elorin: Meanwhile, 15 is well within the limits of what I can feed.
[Sat Mar 25 16:00:35 2006] : (1) GM: Plated Shape: Yeah, weapons too, as well as spells. Turns that chunk of steel you hired that wizard to strengthen back to what it was.
[Sat Mar 25 16:00:59 2006] : (16) Elorin: How about we find the rest of your group and discuss this over a good meal.
[Sat Mar 25 16:01:10 2006] : (13) Kibin: Ah, the antimagic field that also makes me hum...
[Sat Mar 25 16:01:23 2006] : (1) GM: Plated Shape: Hmm... sounds good. This way.
[Sat Mar 25 16:01:28 2006] : (15) Kaylin: Remind me never to let Kibin in an antimagic field....
[Sat Mar 25 16:02:07 2006] : (13) Kibin: (I've already been in an antimagic field. Twice.)
[Sat Mar 25 16:02:37 2006] : ** (14) Eldon Quickfoot walks this way. **
[Sat Mar 25 16:02:55 2006] : ** (13) Kibin follows this way. **
[Sat Mar 25 16:03:11 2006] : ** (16) Elorin follows **
[Sat Mar 25 16:03:27 2006] : (1) GM: The plated figure leads you to a small encampment. There's about a half-dozen similarly shaped (but not plate-clad) dwarven figures lying about, bandaged and bloody. They're tended by more plated figures.
[Sat Mar 25 16:03:58 2006] : (1) GM: Half the worn armor is covered in steel patches, the other half has little holes in them.
[Sat Mar 25 16:04:00 2006] : (15) Kaylin: Looks like it's time for some healing power...
[Sat Mar 25 16:04:41 2006] : (16) Elorin: I take it none of your clerics made it out with you?
[Sat Mar 25 16:04:47 2006] : (1) GM: The camp is rather pitiful; no fires burn, there's an empty pot over a circle of stones, and there's only three, small tents.
[Sat Mar 25 16:05:28 2006] : (1) GM: Plated Figure: Nope. They're smart suckers. Soon as they saw the Holy Ones patching people up, they started shooting anyone with the Symbol.
[Sat Mar 25 16:06:05 2006] : (16) Elorin: Unusual for what appear to be constructed types.
[Sat Mar 25 16:06:28 2006] : ** (13) Kibin wonders if this had anything to do with the sorcerer with the ritual that we killed. **
[Sat Mar 25 16:06:42 2006] : (16) Elorin: Well, I can patch you up.
[Sat Mar 25 16:06:44 2006] : (16) Elorin: Elorin casts Mass Cure Light Wounds ( level 5, "Cures 1d8 damage +1/level for many creatures" )
[Sat Mar 25 16:06:46 2006] : (16) Elorin: Elorin casts Level 5 Spell ( level 5, "Spell slot tracking device" )
[Sat Mar 25 16:06:50 2006] : (16) Elorin: [1d8+18] -> [6,18] = (24) on each
[Sat Mar 25 16:07:41 2006] : (1) GM: Those laying down manage to sit up, but it's clear they are still hurting.
[Sat Mar 25 16:07:51 2006] : (16) Elorin: Elorin casts Mass Cure Light Wounds ( level 5, "Cures 1d8 damage +1/level for many creatures" )
[Sat Mar 25 16:07:52 2006] : (16) Elorin: Elorin casts Level 5 Spell ( level 5, "Spell slot tracking device" )
[Sat Mar 25 16:07:55 2006] : (16) Elorin: [1d8+18] -> [5,18] = (23) on each
[Sat Mar 25 16:08:13 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot: (The fifteen of them will likely be the toughest and luckiest)
[Sat Mar 25 16:08:41 2006] : (1) GM: A couple of them rip off the bandages, and note that there's only bruses in flesh that once had holes.
[Sat Mar 25 16:09:25 2006] : (1) GM: Plate-Clad figure: Well, you certainly know your stuff.....
[Sat Mar 25 16:09:34 2006] : (16) Elorin: Well, you're pretty tough to have survived wounds that aren't gone after that.
[Sat Mar 25 16:09:39 2006] : (16) Elorin: Elorin casts Mass Cure Light Wounds ( level 5, "Cures 1d8 damage +1/level for many creatures" )
[Sat Mar 25 16:09:41 2006] : (16) Elorin: Elorin casts Level 5 Spell ( level 5, "Spell slot tracking device" )
[Sat Mar 25 16:09:43 2006] : (16) Elorin: [1d8+18] -> [5,18] = (23) on each
[Sat Mar 25 16:09:46 2006] : (13) Kibin: Yeah, he's saved my life a couple times...
[Sat Mar 25 16:09:59 2006] : (1) GM: And then, the bruises vanish.
[Sat Mar 25 16:10:24 2006] : (15) Kaylin: So... how about checking out these golems?
[Sat Mar 25 16:10:43 2006] : (1) GM: Plate Clad Figure: Before you go.... did you say you had some meals handy?
[Sat Mar 25 16:11:10 2006] : (16) Elorin: This next will take a while...
[Sat Mar 25 16:11:16 2006] : (16) Elorin: Elorin casts Heroes' Feast ( level 6, "Food for one creature/level cures and grants combat bonuses" )
[Sat Mar 25 16:11:18 2006] : (16) Elorin: Elorin casts Level 6 Spell ( level 6, "Spell slot tracking device" )
[Sat Mar 25 16:11:22 2006] : (16) Elorin: (10 minute casting time)
[Sat Mar 25 16:11:44 2006] : (1) GM: Plate Clad: Oh, we've waited quite a while for a decent meal; another hour won't make much difference.
[Sat Mar 25 16:12:29 2006] : (1) GM: Ten minutes later, the dwarves dig in, and eat.
[Sat Mar 25 16:13:27 2006] : ** (13) Kibin waits for him to finish, looking at his scales and wondering if there's any silver in them, or if it's just color. **
[Sat Mar 25 16:13:29 2006] : (1) GM: And eat. And eat. Stuffing themselves, as though they hadn't eaten in a week....
[Sat Mar 25 16:13:56 2006] : (1) GM: Plate Clad: Oh, that was good. Hey, Joe?
[Sat Mar 25 16:14:02 2006] : (16) Elorin: Now, before we go, is there anything more you know about these invading things?
[Sat Mar 25 16:14:09 2006] : (1) GM: Unplated, Presumeable Joe: Yeah?
[Sat Mar 25 16:14:27 2006] : (1) GM: Plate Clad: You still got that ring the priests gave you for storing magic?
[Sat Mar 25 16:14:37 2006] : (1) GM: Joe: Yeah, why do you ask?
[Sat Mar 25 16:15:00 2006] : (1) GM: Plate Clad: Well, that guy said it was a magical feeding......
[Sat Mar 25 16:15:15 2006] : (1) GM: Joe: Oh! Yes! For tomorrow.....
[Sat Mar 25 16:15:58 2006] : (16) Elorin: It is, but it's a pretty powerful spell. I imagine rings capable of holding it aren't very common.
[Sat Mar 25 16:16:41 2006] : (16) Elorin: (would have to be a Major ring of spell storing)
[Sat Mar 25 16:17:47 2006] : (1) GM: Joe walks up to Elorin, shows him a ring and says "Neither's this ring; it was holding a .... what'd the priests call it? Heal, I think, before; as well as a few minor cures, useful for nothing but stabilizing the wounded. It's why the six on the beds weren't dead of blood loss."
[Sat Mar 25 16:18:26 2006] : (16) Elorin: Impressive. Yeah, that'll do it.
[Sat Mar 25 16:18:34 2006] : (16) Elorin: Just one, though.
[Sat Mar 25 16:18:59 2006] : (1) GM: Well, now that everyone's up to travel, it will give us some breathing space, at least.
[Sat Mar 25 16:19:14 2006] : ** (16) Elorin spends the next 10 minutes casting into the ring **
[Sat Mar 25 16:19:16 2006] : (16) Elorin: Elorin casts Heroes' Feast ( level 6, "Food for one creature/level cures and grants combat bonuses" )
[Sat Mar 25 16:19:18 2006] : (16) Elorin: Elorin casts Level 6 Spell ( level 6, "Spell slot tracking device" )
[Sat Mar 25 16:19:25 2006] : (13) Kibin: (That's enough for an emergency wish if needed...)
[Sat Mar 25 16:20:06 2006] : (16) Elorin: So, what all do you know about the golems?
[Sat Mar 25 16:20:18 2006] : (1) GM: Joe thinks for a minute, then smiles.
[Sat Mar 25 16:20:25 2006] : (1) GM: Joe: Should help, thanks.
[Sat Mar 25 16:23:16 2006] : (1) GM: Plate Clad Figure: What's to tell? They're quite large, about three times my height, seemingly made out of a couple of different metals, have large, unblinking eyes, stocky arms and legs ... move pretty fast; a few were even caught flying briefly in some of the larger chambers - startled us quite a bit, that; the cover we were using promptly became quite useless - our javelins didn't do much good, although the two-handers with swords were often able to cut them down... not that it did much good.
[Sat Mar 25 16:24:23 2006] : (1) GM: Plate Clad Figure: Loud, though; they're constantly hissing and clicking while they move around, and there's quite a bang, like a very large door slamming, every time they throw their steel pellets.
[Sat Mar 25 16:24:51 2006] : (13) Kibin: (It's genius! Summons from the future!)
[Sat Mar 25 16:25:29 2006] : (1) GM: Plate Clad Figure: Although .... one of the less savory in the clan did something interesting.
[Sat Mar 25 16:26:02 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot: "Well, if it was effective..."
[Sat Mar 25 16:26:59 2006] : (1) GM: Plate Clad Figure: He opened one. Pulled some gnome out, and killed it. Didn't see that one again. Still not sure how he pulled it off....
[Sat Mar 25 16:27:41 2006] : (13) Kibin: Couldn't you ask him?
[Sat Mar 25 16:27:55 2006] : (15) Kaylin: He's probably dead..
[Sat Mar 25 16:28:16 2006] : (1) GM: Plate Clad: Remember how I said these suckers were smart? Well, one of them saw......
[Sat Mar 25 16:28:33 2006] : ** (15) Kaylin winces **
[Sat Mar 25 16:28:35 2006] : (16) Elorin: Huh. So they're some sort of machine controlled by gnomes that ride along inside. Hmm, that makes capturing and interrogating one a possibility...
[Sat Mar 25 16:28:52 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot: "...Could the invaders be simply machinery operated by...People inside them?!"
[Sat Mar 25 16:28:57 2006] : (15) Kaylin: If you killled the gnomes inside directly...
[Sat Mar 25 16:29:28 2006] : (13) Kibin: Or paralyzed them somehow...
[Sat Mar 25 16:29:50 2006] : (1) GM: Plate Clad: Wizard's - they didn't survive, either - tried it. Didn't work.
[Sat Mar 25 16:30:07 2006] : (1) GM: Plate Clad: One of them said something about trying to cast through walls.
[Sat Mar 25 16:30:16 2006] : (13) Kibin: Meh.
[Sat Mar 25 16:30:23 2006] : (15) Kaylin: Impressive.
[Sat Mar 25 16:31:11 2006] : (16) Elorin: Right, so we need to break a whole to the pilot chamber before we can try anything with the pilot.
[Sat Mar 25 16:31:25 2006] : (1) GM: Plate Clad: Although, for what it's worth, he did say that if he'd readied one of his spells that could skip walls, he'd have had him.
[Sat Mar 25 16:31:39 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot: "Disintegrate?"
[Sat Mar 25 16:31:51 2006] : (15) Kaylin: Disintegrate blasts walls apart...
[Sat Mar 25 16:31:57 2006] : (13) Kibin: (Heh. :P)
[Sat Mar 25 16:32:00 2006] : (15) Kaylin: doesn't technically penetrate them.
[Sat Mar 25 16:32:08 2006] : (16) Elorin: Any idea if they can see into the etherial plane?
[Sat Mar 25 16:32:23 2006] : (15) Kaylin: Or see invisible things...
[Sat Mar 25 16:32:27 2006] : (1) GM: Plate Clad: The what?
[Sat Mar 25 16:32:44 2006] : (13) Kibin: You know. Where ghosts live and stuff.
[Sat Mar 25 16:32:58 2006] : (13) Kibin: And which allows them to sneak up on me...
[Sat Mar 25 16:33:01 2006] : (16) Elorin: Ok, so you don't know about that. Did anyone try using invisibility against them, and did it work?
[Sat Mar 25 16:33:03 2006] : (1) GM: Plate Clad: You're not making any sense.
[Sat Mar 25 16:33:41 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot: (Is Jason around?)
[Sat Mar 25 16:33:58 2006] : (1) GM: Plate Clad: Yeah, one of the vanishing priests tried. Stumbled over his body in a charge; couldn't see it. Blood was still wet, though.
[Sat Mar 25 16:34:13 2006] : (1) GM: (Yeah, Jason's around)
[Sat Mar 25 16:34:16 2006] : (15) Kaylin: (aaargh, I gotta go in 10 minutes. Have to leave earlier than expected for grandparent's house)
[Sat Mar 25 16:34:48 2006] : (1) GM: (Enjoy the visit. I know I always enjoyed visiting my grandparents)
[Sat Mar 25 16:35:00 2006] : (13) Kibin: Vanishing priests?
[Sat Mar 25 16:35:09 2006] : (15) Kaylin: (Yeah, they just got back from a long trip... See 'ya, NPC Kaylin please.)
[Sat Mar 25 16:35:19 2006] : (15) Kaylin has sent you a tree node...
[Sat Mar 25 16:35:24 2006] : (1) GM: Plate Clad: Yeah, the trickster type.
[Sat Mar 25 16:35:56 2006] : (1) GM: (Got the node; Have fun)
[Sat Mar 25 16:36:04 2006] : (1) GM: Gotta go - Dinner.
[Sat Mar 25 16:36:38 2006] : (15) Kaylin: Teleport to home...
[Sat Mar 25 16:36:40 2006] : (15) Kaylin (exit): 16:36
[Sat Mar 25 16:37:09 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot: (Food...)
[Sat Mar 25 16:37:59 2006] : (13) Kibin: (Can we stop for now, for other stuff?)
[Sat Mar 25 16:38:10 2006] : (13) Kibin: (Like The Elder Scrolls IV, Oblivion...)
[Sat Mar 25 16:38:14 2006] : (16) Elorin: (you mean end the session?)
[Sat Mar 25 16:38:21 2006] : (13) Kibin: (Yeah.)
[Sat Mar 25 16:38:33 2006] : (16) Elorin: (fine with me)
[Sat Mar 25 16:38:42 2006] : (16) Elorin: (I've got an ECL 74 character to finish building :P)
[Sat Mar 25 16:38:46 2006] : (13) Kibin: (Hehe.)
[Sat Mar 25 16:39:06 2006] : (16) Elorin: (SR 119 :D)
[Sat Mar 25 16:39:24 2006] : (13) Kibin: (I'd probally have a dragon.)
[Sat Mar 25 16:39:52 2006] : (16) Elorin: (it would have to be a very young dragon. Our builds are supposed to be valid from ECL 20 on)
[Sat Mar 25 16:40:02 2006] : (13) Kibin: (Yeah, but dragons age, don't they?)
[Sat Mar 25 16:40:05 2006] : (16) Elorin: (so nothing with a starting ECL of 21 or higher)
[Sat Mar 25 16:40:21 2006] : (16) Elorin: (not very quickly)
[Sat Mar 25 16:40:47 2006] : (13) Kibin: (Still. It would be a starting ECL of 20 or lower.)
[Sat Mar 25 16:41:49 2006] : (16) Elorin: (he'd probably rule that the hypothetical campaign his CR 66+ creature would be the BBEG wouldn't have taken that long)
[Sat Mar 25 16:42:18 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot: (Hmm...I could continue...)
[Sat Mar 25 16:42:42 2006] : (13) Kibin: (OBLIVION! :P)
[Sat Mar 25 16:42:51 2006] : (16) Elorin: (I can stop or continue, whichever)
[Sat Mar 25 16:43:00 2006] : (13) Kibin: (I'd rather stop...)
[Sat Mar 25 16:43:06 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot: (But there really isn't too much to do, aside from trying to grab one of those guys and after that, the raid would take a whole session...)
[Sat Mar 25 16:43:14 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot: (Likely)
[Sat Mar 25 16:43:56 2006] : (13) Kibin: (Also we have two people that aren't here.)
[Sat Mar 25 16:44:11 2006] : (16) Elorin: (Pixies with SR 15+level :D. Add an item from DMGII that adds +5 to existing SR, doubled to +10 for an epic version, and taking the Improved Spell Resistance feat 12 times...)
[Sat Mar 25 16:44:31 2006] : (16) Elorin: (It's not going to be easy getting a spell to actually affect me when I don't want it to :D)
[Sat Mar 25 16:45:24 2006] : (16) Elorin: (and then there's the regen+immunity to nonlethal combo, hehe)
[Sat Mar 25 16:45:42 2006] : (13) Kibin: (Now that's just cheating.
[Sat Mar 25 16:45:59 2006] : (16) Elorin: (plus a ring of Universal Energy Immunity to protect against the fire and acid damage types that bypass it)
[Sat Mar 25 16:46:22 2006] : (16) Elorin: (hey, the DM specifically allowed it when it was brought up)
[Sat Mar 25 16:46:44 2006] : (13) Kibin: (Then how the crud do you damage your character!)
[Sat Mar 25 16:46:57 2006] : (16) Elorin: (that's the point :D)
[Sat Mar 25 16:47:22 2006] : (16) Elorin: (there are spells that suppress regen, though)
[Sat Mar 25 16:47:31 2006] : (13) Kibin: (What about someone that can cure 188 points of damage?)
[Sat Mar 25 16:47:48 2006] : (16) Elorin: (of course, there's that bit of difficulty with getting past my SR and saving throws...)
[Sat Mar 25 16:47:50 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot: [5*74] -> 370
[Sat Mar 25 16:48:22 2006] : (13) Kibin: (Base land speed of about 270. :D)
[Sat Mar 25 16:48:24 2006] : (16) Elorin: (188? That's nothing. Twinned Mass Heal does 500)
[Sat Mar 25 16:48:45 2006] : (16) Elorin: (and our opponent can cast it something like 5 or 6 times per round)
[Sat Mar 25 16:48:50 2006] : (13) Kibin: (Meh.)
[Sat Mar 25 16:49:06 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot: (Use pun-pun!)
[Sat Mar 25 16:49:16 2006] : (16) Elorin: (specifically forbidden, sorry)
[Sat Mar 25 16:49:26 2006] : (16) Elorin: (along with any other infinite loop builds)
[Sat Mar 25 16:49:40 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot: (Find a near-infinite one?)
[Sat Mar 25 16:49:47 2006] : (13) Kibin: (74 rounds of etheralness?)
[Sat Mar 25 16:50:20 2006] : (13) Kibin: (Wow, epic is sweet...)
[Sat Mar 25 16:50:28 2006] : (16) Elorin: (74,000,000 gp to spend)
[Sat Mar 25 16:50:41 2006] : (13) Kibin: (Hehe.)
[Sat Mar 25 16:50:49 2006] : (16) Elorin: (and one item can be a major artifact, along with all the indestructibility that implies)
[Sat Mar 25 16:50:52 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot: (Bribe Ao?)
[Sat Mar 25 16:51:00 2006] : (13) Kibin: (What about about 20 vorpal strikes? :D)
[Sat Mar 25 16:51:26 2006] : (16) Elorin: (crit immunity is way too common at this level for that to work)
[Sat Mar 25 16:51:34 2006] : (13) Kibin: (Phooey.)
[Sat Mar 25 16:51:50 2006] : (16) Elorin: (I mean, really, heavy fortification is only a +5 armor enhancement)
[Sat Mar 25 16:51:57 2006] : (16) Elorin: (that's not even epic)
[Sat Mar 25 16:51:59 2006] : (13) Kibin: (Being immune to all ranged attacks?)
[Sat Mar 25 16:52:48 2006] : (16) Elorin: (Deflect Arrows+Exceptional Deflection+Infinite Deflction+Reflect Arrows)
[Sat Mar 25 16:53:05 2006] : (13) Kibin: (Yup.)
[Sat Mar 25 16:53:07 2006] : (16) Elorin: (any ranged attack of any kind is reflected back onto the attacker)
[Sat Mar 25 16:53:30 2006] : (16) Elorin: (though I think it's been states this particular being does not have that combo)
[Sat Mar 25 16:53:33 2006] : (13) Kibin: (Yup. Automatically.)
[Sat Mar 25 16:54:23 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot: (The problem is, D&D has too many absolutes to scale well)
[Sat Mar 25 16:55:14 2006] : (16) Elorin: (kind of ridiculous when you consider the trillion-d6 damage of a 20th level Hulking Hurler and how you can just hurl that boulder right back even with a strength of 3)
[Sat Mar 25 16:55:43 2006] : (13) Kibin: (Let me think of an infiniteish loop to be done with AoOs...)
[Sat Mar 25 16:56:14 2006] : (16) Elorin: (Karmic Strike (you get an AoO whenever you get hit) + Epic Combat Reflexes on both combatants :P)
[Sat Mar 25 16:56:35 2006] : (16) Elorin: (infinite AoO's, ended only when one of them misses or drops)
[Sat Mar 25 16:56:37 2006] : (13) Kibin: (Hehe.)
[Sat Mar 25 16:57:42 2006] : (13) Kibin: (HOLY CRAP, THERE"S A SNEAK ATTACK OF OPPORTUNITY FEAT! O.o)
[Sat Mar 25 16:57:45 2006] : (13) Kibin: (I want that...)
[Sat Mar 25 16:58:17 2006] : (16) Elorin: (have you seen the Paragon template? One of our players is thinking of making an epic spell to grant that to each of us O_O)
[Sat Mar 25 16:59:01 2006] : (13) Kibin: (Nice.)
[Sat Mar 25 16:59:53 2006] : (13) Kibin: (Epic leadership....)
[Sat Mar 25 16:59:56 2006] : (16) Elorin: (I don't have the hard numbers yet, but I expect my attack and damage to both be in the 200's)
[Sat Mar 25 17:00:07 2006] : (16) Elorin: (with 28 attacks)
[Sat Mar 25 17:00:15 2006] : (13) Kibin: (Legendary commander...)
[Sat Mar 25 17:00:19 2006] : (16) Elorin: (and power attack)
[Sat Mar 25 17:00:29 2006] : (13) Kibin: (PHEAR MY 10,000 HALFLING ARMY ATTACK!)
[Sat Mar 25 17:00:42 2006] : (13) Kibin: (Wait, make it more like a million. :D)
[Sat Mar 25 17:01:14 2006] : (16) Elorin: (PHEAR MY... Why are you all charging at me now? :P)
[Sat Mar 25 17:01:53 2006] : (16) Elorin: (Seriously, the last group had to spend a wish to prevent a mid-200's bluff check Suggestion from getting them to join the BBEG)
[Sat Mar 25 17:01:59 2006] : (13) Kibin: (64,000.)
[Sat Mar 25 17:02:33 2006] : (13) Kibin: (That would be cool.)
[Sat Mar 25 17:04:13 2006] : (16) Elorin: (hmm, if that Paragon epic spell is approved, that and Boots of Swiftness would give me a 360 move speed)
[Sat Mar 25 17:04:20 2006] : (16) Elorin: (flying)
[Sat Mar 25 17:04:26 2006] : (16) Elorin: (with good maneuverability)
[Sat Mar 25 17:04:45 2006] : (13) Kibin: (Nice.)
[Sat Mar 25 17:04:55 2006] : (16) Elorin: (and it only takes a single feat to change that to perfect maneuverability)
[Sat Mar 25 17:05:05 2006] : (13) Kibin: (Hmmm, epic spells.)
[Sat Mar 25 17:05:11 2006] : (16) Elorin: (nonepic, even)
[Sat Mar 25 17:06:05 2006] : (13) Kibin: (Really? What feat is that?)
[Sat Mar 25 17:06:23 2006] : (16) Elorin: (Improved Flight, I think is the name. It's in Complete Adventurer)
[Sat Mar 25 17:06:31 2006] : (16) Elorin: (improves maneuverability one step_
[Sat Mar 25 17:06:39 2006] : (13) Kibin: (I could have had that instead of hover. :P)
[Sat Mar 25 17:07:32 2006] : (16) Elorin: (now, imagine a pixie towering 70 feet tall, wielding four greatswords (one hand apiece) that are each even bigger than he is :P)
[Sat Mar 25 17:07:35 2006] : (13) Kibin: (Hmmm, if I have above a light load, I can't fly.)
[Sat Mar 25 17:07:39 2006] : (16) Elorin: (that's my character)
[Sat Mar 25 17:08:12 2006] : (13) Kibin: (I wonder if the GM can allow me to retroactively get that feat instead.)
[Sat Mar 25 17:09:22 2006] : (13) Kibin: (Probally not.)
[Sat Mar 25 17:10:12 2006] : (16) Elorin: (the good thing about Hover is that it's completely independent of maneuverability, IIRC)
[Sat Mar 25 17:10:44 2006] : (16) Elorin: (so even a colossal dragon with poor maneuverability could take it and be able to hover)
[Sat Mar 25 17:11:16 2006] : (13) Kibin: Yeah.)
[Sat Mar 25 17:11:22 2006] : (13) Kibin: (But I'm not a colossal dragon.
[Sat Mar 25 17:11:53 2006] : (13) Kibin: (And won't be for 1,200 years.)
[Sat Mar 25 17:12:01 2006] : (1) GM: Back.
[Sat Mar 25 17:12:23 2006] : (13) Kibin: (hmmmm, seed of transform...)
[Sat Mar 25 17:12:28 2006] : (13) Kibin: (I've decided to stay. :P)
[Sat Mar 25 17:12:30 2006] : (16) Elorin: (oh, and the DM's allowing Divine Power exactly as the RAW, and I'm getting it on a continuous item. BAB 74 when even a fighter would have only 47)
[Sat Mar 25 17:13:14 2006] : (1) GM: So let's see... we have Kibin and Elorin; is Eldon online?
[Sat Mar 25 17:13:55 2006] : (13) Kibin: (A seed of transform is only a spellcraft DC of 21...)
[Sat Mar 25 17:15:16 2006] : (16) Elorin: (heh, if you really want to see a monstrosity of abusing the rules, someone came up with a (supposedly) CR 12 monster with pretty much the unkillability of the Tarrasque)
[Sat Mar 25 17:15:41 2006] : (16) Elorin: (most of the way down the page here)
[Sat Mar 25 17:17:18 2006] : (1) GM: Transform seed is Base DC 21. It goes up, fast, the more you layer in.
[Sat Mar 25 17:18:06 2006] : (13) Kibin: (Yeah, but Kaylin can handle it good.)
[Sat Mar 25 17:18:35 2006] : (13) Kibin: (And it shouldn't be too much trouble to use it on top of the great warping. :P)
[Sat Mar 25 17:19:02 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot: (Yep)
[Sat Mar 25 17:19:09 2006] : (16) Elorin: (when you have 50+ int, 77 ranks, +8 synergy, an item giving +60 to the skill, and tons of buffs increasing it further, you can handle some pretty high DC's)
[Sat Mar 25 17:19:50 2006] : (16) Elorin: (not that my character will be worrying about that, what with his not being able to cast anything higher than level 1 paladin spells :P)
[Sat Mar 25 17:20:09 2006] : (1) GM: Now, at ECL - what did you say? 74? You can do Wizardly persistent Time Stop brokenness; it only requires a 15th level spell slot, after all. Bang! One full day to do whatever. Add Quicken into the mix (19th level spell slot) and if you get a turn, at all, suddenly you can do anything you want (to the terrain) and - oh yeah - prepare them again, and ready an actino to recast when it expires.... just make sure you're of a long-lived folk......
[Sat Mar 25 17:20:11 2006] : (16) Elorin: (at a rather low caster level, too)
[Sat Mar 25 17:20:23 2006] : (1) GM: Well, everyone's online, it would seem, so.....
[Sat Mar 25 17:20:27 2006] : (1) GM:

[Sat Mar 25 17:21:02 2006] : (13) Kibin: (Okay, now THAT'S broken.)
[Sat Mar 25 17:21:15 2006] : (13) Kibin: (Just pausing time, and being able to do whatever you want to...)
[Sat Mar 25 17:21:58 2006] : (1) GM: Plate Clad: You know, the ones that minister to the less savory of the population? They sometimes learn how to vanish from view. Well, everyone was in on this, so..... not that it worked.
[Sat Mar 25 17:22:01 2006] : (16) Elorin: (Time Stop was very poorly written. It should be Duration: Instantaneous and Effect: 1d4+1 rounds of apparent time)
[Sat Mar 25 17:22:25 2006] : (1) GM: (Rules as they are written, however, is what he's going by, no?)
[Sat Mar 25 17:23:12 2006] : (16) Elorin: (mostly. Truly spectacular abuse will be met by him using similarly spectacular abuse, though)
[Sat Mar 25 17:23:46 2006] : (16) Elorin: (for example, we can make epic spells giving +100 to all ability scores, but if we do he'll use similar tactics)
[Sat Mar 25 17:24:12 2006] : (13) Kibin: (Hehe, time duplicate. That could open a plethora of stuff.)
[Sat Mar 25 17:24:21 2006] : (16) Elorin: (it's a gentleman's agreement to avoid the most spectacular examples of brokenness, I think)
[Sat Mar 25 17:25:06 2006] : (16) Elorin: Ok, so having Jason sneak up and snatch one probably won't work.
[Sat Mar 25 17:25:08 2006] : (1) GM: (Well, all he really has to do to break that particular one - badly - is that little feat that gives you the benefit of a particular spell if it's cast within range......))
[Sat Mar 25 17:25:11 2006] : (13) Kibin: (Like casting time duplicate, present self using Vengeful Gaze of God and doing 152.5 damage with a successful save and killing himself, future self survives. :D_
[Sat Mar 25 17:26:01 2006] : (16) Elorin: (you should have seen the horde of 18 or so clones one guy in the ECL 66 group made...)
[Sat Mar 25 17:26:38 2006] : (13) Kibin: (Heck, you could even modify it to do 10000 damage to the opponent with half on a successful save, and the same amount to yourself.)
[Sat Mar 25 17:27:05 2006] : (16) Elorin: (backlash is limited to twice as many dice as the caster has HD)
[Sat Mar 25 17:27:12 2006] : (13) Kibin: (Ah.)
[Sat Mar 25 17:27:19 2006] : (16) Elorin: (anyway, back to the game at hand...)
[Sat Mar 25 17:27:53 2006] : (13) Kibin: (Crud, it needs spell resistance.)
[Sat Mar 25 17:28:12 2006] : (16) Elorin: (Hah! Beat my 119! :P)
[Sat Mar 25 17:28:54 2006] : (1) GM: (you are familiar with that little itty bitty Epic Spell stackable modifier that grants a +1 on your level check to overcome SR, right?)
[Sat Mar 25 17:29:23 2006] : (16) Elorin: (I know it exists, yes)
[Sat Mar 25 17:30:09 2006] : (13) Kibin: (Heh. Make a spell that does 50d4 negative level damage. :P)
[Sat Mar 25 17:30:38 2006] : (16) Elorin: (there's also "Saving Throw: Fortitude half" and an ability like evasion but for will and fort saves)
[Sat Mar 25 17:30:41 2006] : (13) Kibin: (Of course, still stopped by SR.)
[Sat Mar 25 17:30:46 2006] : (13) Kibin: (Crud._)
[Sat Mar 25 17:30:55 2006] : (16) Elorin: (negative levels? I'm immune :D)
[Sat Mar 25 17:30:59 2006] : (1) GM: Plate Clad: Are you seriously considering going down there?
[Sat Mar 25 17:31:15 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot: "Yes."
[Sat Mar 25 17:31:27 2006] : (16) Elorin: Yes.
[Sat Mar 25 17:31:33 2006] : (13) Kibin: Maybe.
[Sat Mar 25 17:31:45 2006] : (1) GM: Plate Clad: Well, if you are... you'll need some way to deal with what we've been doing to the place. Remember how I mentioned we'd smoke them out?
[Sat Mar 25 17:32:23 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot: (Still eating)
[Sat Mar 25 17:32:32 2006] : (1) GM: Plate Clad: Well, we're working on it. Sealed up the enterances, save for the one we're using to pump smoke in. Breathing down there will be a tad difficult.
[Sat Mar 25 17:32:37 2006] : (16) Elorin: What makes you think smoke would affect them?
[Sat Mar 25 17:32:57 2006] : (1) GM: Plate: We're hoping. Most everything needs to breath.
[Sat Mar 25 17:33:30 2006] : (16) Elorin: Hmm, we have a few amulets that can handle that, but not enough for all of us.
[Sat Mar 25 17:33:39 2006] : (13) Kibin: (Whats the average DC for level 74?)
[Sat Mar 25 17:33:49 2006] : (1) GM: Plate Clad: Place won't be completely air free for another decade or so, though. Not too long.
[Sat Mar 25 17:33:52 2006] : (16) Elorin: (save DC, you mean?)
[Sat Mar 25 17:34:17 2006] : (1) GM: (Average and those levels don't mesh.)
[Sat Mar 25 17:34:28 2006] : (13) Kibin: (No, spellcraft DC.)
[Sat Mar 25 17:34:45 2006] : (13) Kibin: (For a spellcasting type.)
[Sat Mar 25 17:34:53 2006] : (16) Elorin: (I think some of the last group's spells were up in the 200's)
[Sat Mar 25 17:35:06 2006] : (1) GM: (For an Epic spell? Depends on what you're making - you craft a spell up to what you think you can reliably make)
[Sat Mar 25 17:36:44 2006] : (13) Kibin: (218 spellcraft DC and you can make a spell that lasts for 24 hours and absorbs 200 damage from all attacks.)
[Sat Mar 25 17:37:27 2006] : (1) GM: Jason: Well, we can get more of those amulets, and if I leave Winddancer behind, I don't need the one I have.
[Sat Mar 25 17:37:35 2006] : (16) Elorin: (Ward seed? That's per round, not per attack)
[Sat Mar 25 17:37:47 2006] : (13) Kibin: (Ah, okay. Nevermind.)
[Sat Mar 25 17:39:25 2006] : (13) Kibin: Is the whole place underground?
[Sat Mar 25 17:39:47 2006] : (1) GM: Plate Clad: We are dwarves.
[Sat Mar 25 17:40:22 2006] : (16) Elorin: That makes the one Kaylin has usable.
[Sat Mar 25 17:40:24 2006] : (13) Kibin: Is that a yes?
[Sat Mar 25 17:40:54 2006] : (1) GM: Plate Clad: Yes, it is. Having a little trouble with Common?
[Sat Mar 25 17:41:27 2006] : (16) Elorin: Kaylin, do you have anything to scout the area ahead of us? Arcane Eye, perhaps?
[Sat Mar 25 17:42:20 2006] : (1) GM: Kaylin: Prying eyes, but I haven't got it prepared.
[Sat Mar 25 17:43:29 2006] : (1) GM: Kaylin: Do you have something in mind?
[Sat Mar 25 17:44:53 2006] : (16) Elorin: Sending them to search ahead of us so we can avoid groups too large to handle easily and plan an ambush if we find a lone machine or small group.
[Sat Mar 25 17:46:22 2006] : (16) Elorin: I doubt just 1 or 2 would be a serious threat to us, but they seem to swarm a lot from what we've heard.
[Sat Mar 25 17:47:01 2006] : (1) GM: Kaylin: Yeah, I could make that work. And if one of them doens't come back, well, we no something's in there, no?
[Sat Mar 25 17:47:25 2006] : (13) Kibin: I don't suppose it's possible to teleport one of them here?
[Sat Mar 25 17:48:06 2006] : (16) Elorin: Every teleport spell I know of requires the caster to be at the departure point.
[Sat Mar 25 17:48:18 2006] : (1) GM: Kaylin: Hard to teleport someone against their will. If they were sleeping or something, sure.
[Sat Mar 25 17:48:28 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot: "I wonder if Jason could control one..."
[Sat Mar 25 17:49:05 2006] : (1) GM: Jason: Won't know until we try, will we?
[Sat Mar 25 17:49:39 2006] : (13) Kibin: Jason could teleport over there, control one, teleport back?
[Sat Mar 25 17:50:27 2006] : (16) Elorin: That sounds like it should work.
[Sat Mar 25 17:50:50 2006] : (1) GM: Jason: I can't teleport very far. Only a little ways. Eight hundred feet, or so.
[Sat Mar 25 17:50:54 2006] : (16) Elorin: But it would have to be short range
[Sat Mar 25 17:51:33 2006] : (13) Kibin: Oookay.... Teleport to about eight hundred feet away, THEN do it.
[Sat Mar 25 17:51:48 2006] : (13) Kibin: Like above ground.
[Sat Mar 25 17:52:12 2006] : (16) Elorin: We'd have to find one first, and know where it is accurately enough to guide the teleport.
[Sat Mar 25 17:52:14 2006] : (1) GM: Plate Clad: Most our tunnels are deeper than that.
[Sat Mar 25 17:52:46 2006] : (13) Kibin: But not all?
[Sat Mar 25 17:53:06 2006] : (1) GM: Plate Clad: Need to get to the surface to trade with the farming races somehow.
[Sat Mar 25 17:53:45 2006] : (13) Kibin: So we can hope they're in the upper tunnels?
[Sat Mar 25 17:54:16 2006] : (1) GM: Plate Clad: You can check, I suppose.
[Sat Mar 25 17:54:32 2006] : (16) Elorin: Send in the Prying Eyes.
[Sat Mar 25 17:54:49 2006] : (1) GM: Kaylin: Give me a while to prepare.....
[Sat Mar 25 17:54:52 2006] : (16) Elorin: But that will have to wait for tomorrow.
[Sat Mar 25 17:55:11 2006] : (16) Elorin: And we need more Necklaces of Adaptation.
[Sat Mar 25 17:56:00 2006] : (13) Kibin: Or we could just stay out of the tunnels ourselves.
[Sat Mar 25 17:56:35 2006] : (1) GM: Jason: Or we need to leave someone up here. I've got one, Kaylin has one, I think you and Kibin still have them; I can lend mine out, so it's either Eldon or Rilyrr that stay behind.
[Sat Mar 25 17:57:02 2006] : (1) GM: Jason: Unless they have some, of course.
[Sat Mar 25 17:57:10 2006] : (13) Kibin: (Then it's decided. Rilyrr stays behind.)
[Sat Mar 25 17:57:31 2006] : (1) GM: (Pretty much, yep)
[Sat Mar 25 17:57:58 2006] : (1) GM: Rilyrr: Oh, I'd rather not go creeping down into such artificial intrusions into the earth, if it's all the same to you.
[Sat Mar 25 17:58:00 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot: (How so? Wouldn't a spellcaster be more usefull?)
[Sat Mar 25 17:58:55 2006] : (16) Elorin: (brb)
[Sat Mar 25 17:59:08 2006] : (13) Kibin: (Because Rilyrr is away. :)
[Sat Mar 25 17:59:12 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot: "Well, it's perfectly natural for dwarves to dig, therefore dwarven tunnels are natural."
[Sat Mar 25 17:59:15 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot: * Grins
[Sat Mar 25 17:59:46 2006] : (1) GM: (Well, out of character, his player isn't here; in character, he's got the most reason not to want to go into tunnels, and spells are known to not have much effect against them, so....)
[Sat Mar 25 18:00:07 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot: (For how long? And why am I argueing with a character that isn't here? Tune in next week, when we'll hear nurse piggy say "It's too late, you've lost him!" - "Well, he couldn't have gone far - He was under the sheet a second ago!")
[Sat Mar 25 18:00:43 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot: (That makes sense)
[Sat Mar 25 18:01:02 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot: (And that quote is from the first ever muppet show record album)
[Sat Mar 25 18:01:07 2006] : (1) GM: Rilyrr: Do dwarves have claws like moles? No, it's not natural for them.
[Sat Mar 25 18:01:26 2006] : (1) GM: Rilyrr: But this isn't something I feel like debating; another time, perhaps.
[Sat Mar 25 18:01:42 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot: (Yeah - With the actual player present. :) )
[Sat Mar 25 18:01:47 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot: (Druids are silly)
[Sat Mar 25 18:01:56 2006] : (13) Kibin: Hehe. What about a dwarven druid?
[Sat Mar 25 18:02:03 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot: (If we're not meant to use tools, why the opposable thumbs?)
[Sat Mar 25 18:02:07 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot: (Pikel)
[Sat Mar 25 18:02:22 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot: (The Cleric Quintet, by RA Salvatore)
[Sat Mar 25 18:02:25 2006] : (1) GM: (Some moreso than others)
[Sat Mar 25 18:02:46 2006] : (1) GM: Jason: Well, Eldon, I guess that means you're the one to borrow my amulet.
[Sat Mar 25 18:03:00 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot: "Seems logical."
[Sat Mar 25 18:03:23 2006] : (13) Kibin: Is there any smoke above ground?
[Sat Mar 25 18:03:44 2006] : (1) GM: Jason heads over to his wagon, opens the chest he keeps there, pulls a plain amulet out, and floats it over to Eldon.
[Sat Mar 25 18:03:54 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot: "Thanks."
[Sat Mar 25 18:03:57 2006] : ** (14) Eldon Quickfoot puts it on. **
[Sat Mar 25 18:04:13 2006] : (1) GM: Plate Clad: Not really; we're trying to get it into the mines, not out. That will wait for after.
[Sat Mar 25 18:04:15 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot: (What kind of dwarves are these, by the way?)
[Sat Mar 25 18:05:06 2006] : (1) GM: (Strength/Constitution 17 ones - but dwarves are Medium, not Small, creatures anyway - hence the height)
[Sat Mar 25 18:05:48 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot: (Well, I was wondering about dwarf sub-race. Because the GM might not have mentioned it if they were, say, Drueger. Or however you spell that.)
[Sat Mar 25 18:06:08 2006] : (1) GM: (nah, just dwarves)
[Sat Mar 25 18:06:28 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot: (Ok, your typical bearded beer drinking miners)
[Sat Mar 25 18:06:34 2006] : ** (13) Kibin takes out his amulet and places it arouns his neck, ready to take off his other amulet if he needs the necklace of adapatation... **
[Sat Mar 25 18:06:56 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot: (Doesn't it take a week to work?)
[Sat Mar 25 18:07:06 2006] : (13) Kibin: (No...)
[Sat Mar 25 18:07:14 2006] : (16) Elorin: (no, that's the Ring of Sustenance)
[Sat Mar 25 18:07:15 2006] : (1) GM: (That was the Ring of Sustenence; necklace of adaptation is instant.)
[Sat Mar 25 18:07:30 2006] : (16) Elorin: (and it's spelled "Duergar")
[Sat Mar 25 18:07:32 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot: (Ok, thanks)
[Sat Mar 25 18:07:38 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot: (Thanks again)
[Sat Mar 25 18:07:47 2006] : (1) GM: Next day?
[Sat Mar 25 18:08:02 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot: (Suretainly)
[Sat Mar 25 18:08:39 2006] : (1) GM: Kaylin: All right; I've got my spells ready. Prepared an extra copy, just in case.
[Sat Mar 25 18:09:12 2006] : (13) Kibin: That's good, I guess.
[Sat Mar 25 18:09:20 2006] : (1) GM: Plate Clad: Well, I'll take you to the enterance we're using to pump in smoke.
[Sat Mar 25 18:09:46 2006] : (1) GM: The plate clad figure that greeted you the day before starts leading you out of camp.
[Sat Mar 25 18:09:50 2006] : (13) Kibin: Oh, we can just walk?
[Sat Mar 25 18:10:14 2006] : (1) GM: Plate clad: It's not too far; they have to come back when we switch shifts, after all.
[Sat Mar 25 18:10:32 2006] : (13) Kibin: Ah, okay.
[Sat Mar 25 18:11:17 2006] : (16) Elorin: Oh, before we go, I imagine we have time to give you another meal.
[Sat Mar 25 18:12:09 2006] : (1) GM: Plate Clad: Ah, yes, breakfast.....
[Sat Mar 25 18:12:31 2006] : (16) Elorin: Elorin casts Heroes' Feast ( level 6, "Food for one creature/level cures and grants combat bonuses" )
[Sat Mar 25 18:12:33 2006] : (1) GM: Plate Clad: I must admit, that was a feast fit for a king you made yesterday.
[Sat Mar 25 18:12:35 2006] : (16) Elorin: Elorin casts Level 6 Spell ( level 6, "Spell slot tracking device" )
[Sat Mar 25 18:12:53 2006] : (1) GM: Of course, all the dwarves eat up.
[Sat Mar 25 18:12:55 2006] : (13) Kibin: Yeah, we have it every day.
[Sat Mar 25 18:13:17 2006] : (16) Elorin: Well, whoever named it must have thought heroes ranked even higher :P
[Sat Mar 25 18:13:20 2006] : (13) Kibin: Also has a few neat bonuses. Don't need to worry about posions, for one.
[Sat Mar 25 18:14:23 2006] : (1) GM: After the feast, and a few minutes walk, you come to three dwarves working with an odd apparatus; one is carefully feeding a very smoky fire, another is working an odd pump, pulling the smoke away from the fire, and a third is constantly fetching green wood. A large pice of tubular canvas goes from the machine to a spot on the ground.
[Sat Mar 25 18:15:08 2006] : (13) Kibin: (Why don't you use puns any more?
[Sat Mar 25 18:15:18 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot: (I know! Plane Shift the Tarresque to whatever dimension they come from!)
[Sat Mar 25 18:15:41 2006] : (16) Elorin: (lol)
[Sat Mar 25 18:16:01 2006] : (1) GM: (You missed the brewing comment when kaylin used "perked" instead of "piqued")
[Sat Mar 25 18:16:29 2006] : (16) Elorin: (nonmagical machines - they may not have Wish at all :D)
[Sat Mar 25 18:16:38 2006] : (16) Elorin: (no way to kill the monster)
[Sat Mar 25 18:17:14 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot: (A nuke would probably do it)
[Sat Mar 25 18:17:26 2006] : (16) Elorin: (not by the RAW)
[Sat Mar 25 18:17:34 2006] : (16) Elorin: (it would regenerate)
[Sat Mar 25 18:17:40 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot: (Stripping molecules apart is not normal damage)
[Sat Mar 25 18:17:49 2006] : (1) GM: (Pity it goes to sleep after it feeds, and little things will keep it "dead" for ages with little or no maintenence, once downed)
[Sat Mar 25 18:17:52 2006] : (13) Kibin: (Holy crap. 15/epic damage reduction.
[Sat Mar 25 18:17:54 2006] : (16) Elorin: (might take a few weeks, though)
[Sat Mar 25 18:18:08 2006] : (13) Kibin: (Regeneration 40. :O)
[Sat Mar 25 18:18:24 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot: (Provide a wonderfull distraction)
[Sat Mar 25 18:18:56 2006] : (13) Kibin: (It can withstand being disintergrated...)
[Sat Mar 25 18:19:14 2006] : (13) Kibin: (I know what to use shapeshifting for, now. :D)
[Sat Mar 25 18:19:16 2006] : (16) Elorin: (so create a whole bunch of Feral Half Red Dragon Troll Monster of Legend Half Clay Golems (or whatever that DIY Tarrasque was) and send them :P)
[Sat Mar 25 18:19:19 2006] : (1) GM: (Disintigrate: Effect Ray......)
[Sat Mar 25 18:20:09 2006] : (1) GM: (Terrasque's caraprice reflects all rays back at the caster.....)
[Sat Mar 25 18:20:40 2006] : (13) Kibin: (Holy crap.)
[Sat Mar 25 18:20:56 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot: (Make a magic missile disintegrate?)
[Sat Mar 25 18:21:15 2006] : (1) GM: (Including Magic Missle)
[Sat Mar 25 18:21:29 2006] : (16) Elorin: (" The tarrasques armorlike carapace is exceptionally tough and highly reflective, deflecting all rays, lines, cones, and even magic missile spells. There is a 30% chance of reflecting any such effect back at the caster; otherwise, it is merely negated. Check for reflection before rolling to overcome the creatures spell resistance.")
[Sat Mar 25 18:22:01 2006] : (1) GM: Anyway.....
[Sat Mar 25 18:22:09 2006] : (13) Kibin: (Forget paragon template. Just make an epic spell to give people all of the extraordinary abilities of tarrasques. :D)
[Sat Mar 25 18:22:17 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot: (Fireball disintegrate?)
[Sat Mar 25 18:22:45 2006] : (1) GM: Plate Clad Man: These people are thinking of heading down to see what they can about taking out these monsters. We'll need to suspend operations while they work.
[Sat Mar 25 18:23:00 2006] : ** (13) Kibin found the F8 macro key **
[Sat Mar 25 18:23:12 2006] : (13) Kibin: I thought we were going to teleport one up here?
[Sat Mar 25 18:23:32 2006] : (1) GM: Kaylin: Still need an opening to send the Prying Eyes in.
[Sat Mar 25 18:23:35 2006] : (16) Elorin: That's the plan, but we have to find one first, and that will almost certainly require going in.
[Sat Mar 25 18:23:55 2006] : (13) Kibin: Or we could use Jason, and prying eyes?
[Sat Mar 25 18:24:17 2006] : (1) GM: The dwarves working the entrance nod, pick up the aparatus, and move it aside, revealing a four foot wide hole in the ground.
[Sat Mar 25 18:24:43 2006] : Kaylin casts Prying Eyes ( level 5, "1d4 floating eyes +1/level scout for you." )
[Sat Mar 25 18:24:45 2006] : Kaylin can cast Prying Eyes 1 more time
[Sat Mar 25 18:24:54 2006] : (1) GM: [1d4+16] -> [1,16] = (17)
[Sat Mar 25 18:25:12 2006] : (1) GM: Kaylin sends them down, one at a time.
[Sat Mar 25 18:25:37 2006] : (1) GM: After several hours, none of them have returned.
[Sat Mar 25 18:25:56 2006] : (1) GM: Kaylin: By any chance, is there light down there?
[Sat Mar 25 18:26:16 2006] : (1) GM: Plate Clad: Oh, I don't imagine so; nobody has been maintaining the lamps in weeks.
[Sat Mar 25 18:26:28 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot: (Lol)
[Sat Mar 25 18:26:51 2006] : (13) Kibin: I could still see even in the dark.
[Sat Mar 25 18:27:00 2006] : (1) GM: Kaylin: Of course. Well, that takes care of that. They probably all ran into walls and killed themselves.
[Sat Mar 25 18:27:06 2006] : (16) Elorin: ("Doh")
[Sat Mar 25 18:27:35 2006] : (16) Elorin: I don't suppose you have the Greater version of that spell?
[Sat Mar 25 18:27:44 2006] : (1) GM: Kaylin: No, no I don't.
[Sat Mar 25 18:28:08 2006] : (1) GM: Kaylin: Didn't particularly see the need for it. Then.
[Sat Mar 25 18:28:57 2006] : (13) Kibin: Jason could scout in the Etheral plane...
[Sat Mar 25 18:29:13 2006] : ** (14) Eldon Quickfoot pokes his head in the hole. **
[Sat Mar 25 18:29:16 2006] : (16) Elorin: So, we can send Jason in to scout alone, we can all go in with very little scouting ability, or we can go and get you a scroll of Greater Prying Eyes and try again tomorrow.
[Sat Mar 25 18:29:28 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot: (Taking off necklace of armor first and putting in pocket)
[Sat Mar 25 18:29:57 2006] : (1) GM: Jason: Oh, I'll go. No need to go out and buy things, just to spend a cople days getting ready to be able to use it.
[Sat Mar 25 18:30:15 2006] : (1) GM: Jason heads down into the darkness.
[Sat Mar 25 18:30:53 2006] : whispering to Eldon Quickfoot, It's quite dark, but what you can see is a spiral staircase heading down into the darkness. After a single turn, you can't see further, of course.
[Sat Mar 25 18:31:03 2006] : (16) Elorin: (I wonder, given that they seem to be tech-based, did they see the invisible clerics with IR vision or something?)
[Sat Mar 25 18:31:12 2006] : (16) Elorin: (which wouldn't detect Jason)
[Sat Mar 25 18:31:30 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot (whispering): Goggles that have darkvision and see invisibility - Anything else?
[Sat Mar 25 18:31:41 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot: (Indeed. No I)
[Sat Mar 25 18:31:43 2006] : (13) Kibin: (I thought they didn't detect the invisible clerics, just tripped over them?)
[Sat Mar 25 18:31:54 2006] : (16) Elorin: (the dward tripped over a dead one)
[Sat Mar 25 18:32:05 2006] : whispering to Eldon Quickfoot, Mostly, it's stone stairs that block your view.
[Sat Mar 25 18:32:14 2006] : (13) Kibin: (Heh. I might not even show up in infrared vision.)
[Sat Mar 25 18:32:16 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot (whispering): Thanks.
[Sat Mar 25 18:32:26 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot: "What's at the bottom of that staircase?"
[Sat Mar 25 18:32:32 2006] : (13) Kibin: (Or maybe at least show up as very cold. Hmmmm.)
[Sat Mar 25 18:32:53 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot: (Jason would probably be room temperature)
[Sat Mar 25 18:33:13 2006] : ** (13) Kibin takes off the necklace of armor, puts it back on(Thus making the necklace of adaptation the active one), and looks to see what Eldon is looking at. **
[Sat Mar 25 18:33:36 2006] : (1) GM: Plate Clad: Entry into the main mines; this is just a side entrane, for ventilation and an escape route in case of fire. We closed off the other vents, and use this one to pump smoke in.
[Sat Mar 25 18:33:48 2006] : whispering to Kibin, It's quite dark, but what you can see is a spiral staircase heading down into the darkness. After a single turn, you can't see further, of course.
[Sat Mar 25 18:34:04 2006] : (13) Kibin: Yeah, it's just a spiral staircase.
[Sat Mar 25 18:34:26 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot: "Thanks."
[Sat Mar 25 18:34:40 2006] : ** (14) Eldon Quickfoot pulls his head back up and swaps back on the necklace of armor. **
[Sat Mar 25 18:34:49 2006] : (1) GM: After a while, a small gnome appears in your midst.
[Sat Mar 25 18:35:05 2006] : (16) Elorin: Jason?
[Sat Mar 25 18:35:09 2006] : ** (13) Kibin takes off the necklace of adaptation, and puts it back on. **
[Sat Mar 25 18:35:16 2006] : (1) GM: Gnome: Hmmph. Couldn't carry the shell with; too heavy.
[Sat Mar 25 18:35:46 2006] : (1) GM: Gnome: Although I'm sure they'll be very curious as to what happened to the pilot.......
[Sat Mar 25 18:35:48 2006] : (16) Elorin: Did they notice you at all?
[Sat Mar 25 18:36:30 2006] : (13) Kibin: Did you at least see how the suit thingies could be opened?
[Sat Mar 25 18:36:45 2006] : (1) GM: Gnome: This one took a few shots at me once I manifested to take him over. Didn't do any good, but he could see me when I wasn't on the etherial.
[Sat Mar 25 18:37:01 2006] : (1) GM: Int check: [1d20+2] -> [7,2] = (9)
[Sat Mar 25 18:37:32 2006] : (16) Elorin: So he could not see you until you manifested?
[Sat Mar 25 18:37:45 2006] : (1) GM: Gnome: No, couldn't figure much of anything out. I have no idea how they even make those things go forward. had to Dimension Door just to get up here.
[Sat Mar 25 18:38:08 2006] : (1) GM: Gnome: Right. So, we can't question this one while I'm holding him, so.....
[Sat Mar 25 18:38:11 2006] : (13) Kibin: Could just pull levers at random...
[Sat Mar 25 18:38:25 2006] : (1) GM: Gnome: What levers?
[Sat Mar 25 18:38:28 2006] : (16) Elorin: Wait, shouldn't we tie him up first, or something?
[Sat Mar 25 18:38:59 2006] : (13) Kibin: Oookay.
[Sat Mar 25 18:39:31 2006] : (1) GM: Gnome: If you like; although he was very weak-willed; put up less of a fight than Derrel used to. I don't think he can do much, without his shell.
[Sat Mar 25 18:40:11 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot: (Gee, someone wants to give me an unspecified business opportunity...)
[Sat Mar 25 18:40:35 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot: "Any devices on him?"
[Sat Mar 25 18:41:10 2006] : (16) Elorin: I don't expect anything from this, but just in case...
[Sat Mar 25 18:41:12 2006] : (16) Elorin: Elorin casts Detect Magic ( level 0, "Detects spells and magic items within 60 ft." )
[Sat Mar 25 18:41:14 2006] : (16) Elorin: Elorin casts Level 0 Spell ( level 0, "Spell slot tracking device" )
[Sat Mar 25 18:41:16 2006] : (13) Kibin: q(Have to go in 50 minutes, by the way.)
[Sat Mar 25 18:41:34 2006] : (1) GM: Gnome: This body was all wraped up in some wiered garment; just barely enough room to talk and breath. Quite the view, though; lots of writing on the window in front of me. Haven't had an opportunity to search him, myself.
[Sat Mar 25 18:42:12 2006] : (13) Kibin: Maybe the machines are thought controlled or something?
[Sat Mar 25 18:42:14 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot: "Yes...But if they can make machines like tht..."
[Sat Mar 25 18:42:17 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot: [1d20+8] -> [20,8] = (28)
[Sat Mar 25 18:42:21 2006] : whispering to Elorin, You detect magic, localized to where the gnome is.
[Sat Mar 25 18:42:32 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot: "...Then why not make other things out of machines?!"
[Sat Mar 25 18:42:46 2006] : (16) Elorin (whispering): more aura's than I'd expect from just Jason being there?
[Sat Mar 25 18:42:55 2006] : (1) GM: Gnome: Um, you might want to wait on that until after I'm not holding him anyomore.....
[Sat Mar 25 18:43:18 2006] : whispering to Elorin, Weaker auras are ovverridden by stronger auras - you can't tell.
[Sat Mar 25 18:43:27 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot: "Kibin, search him for anything - And I do mean anything - Unusual."
[Sat Mar 25 18:43:44 2006] : (13) Kibin: Oookay.
[Sat Mar 25 18:44:00 2006] : ** (13) Kibin does as instructed, searching for anything unusual. **
[Sat Mar 25 18:44:13 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot: (Eldon just invented micromachines in his head)
[Sat Mar 25 18:44:45 2006] : (13) Kibin: [1d20+19] -> [12,19] = (31)
[Sat Mar 25 18:45:40 2006] : whispering to Kibin, you find a wristband that has some strange, changing symbols on it; a few cards of some unknown material with odd symbols and pictures of the gnome inside a flat leather wallet, and a few coins of various sizes of some worthless metals.
[Sat Mar 25 18:46:58 2006] : (13) Kibin (whispering): A digtal wristwatch, credit cards, photographs, a wallet, and some loose change? O.o
[Sat Mar 25 18:47:28 2006] : whispering to Kibin, Shush! Stay in character!
[Sat Mar 25 18:47:44 2006] : (13) Kibin (whispering): Hehe. Okay.
[Sat Mar 25 18:47:55 2006] : (13) Kibin (whispering): Can I take them off to show everyone?
[Sat Mar 25 18:48:10 2006] : whispering to Kibin, Sure. Jason's not stopping you.
[Sat Mar 25 18:48:21 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot: (Poke?)
[Sat Mar 25 18:48:45 2006] : (16) Elorin: (waiting for Kibin's search results...)
[Sat Mar 25 18:48:49 2006] : ** (13) Kibin takes off a wristband with strange, changing symbols on it, a flat leather wallet, and a few coins of various sizes, made of worthless metals. **
[Sat Mar 25 18:49:15 2006] : ** (14) Eldon Quickfoot examines the wristband **
[Sat Mar 25 18:49:27 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot: [1d20+8] -> [14,8] = (22)
[Sat Mar 25 18:49:46 2006] : ** (16) Elorin (OOC) hopes the watch doesn't include a communications device **
[Sat Mar 25 18:50:02 2006] : whispering to Eldon Quickfoot, after a while, you note that they symbols change in pattern, at regular intervals. A clock of some kind. There's also a few protrusions that look loose.
[Sat Mar 25 18:50:04 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot: (OOC: ...Yeah, that's a thought)
[Sat Mar 25 18:50:17 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot: "Seems to be some kind of clock."
[Sat Mar 25 18:50:40 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot: "Well, nothing for it except to interrogate him."
[Sat Mar 25 18:50:48 2006] : ** (14) Eldon Quickfoot moves the stuff out of the gnomes reach. **
[Sat Mar 25 18:50:55 2006] : (13) Kibin: (*chuckles at the thought of us going into the future.*)
[Sat Mar 25 18:51:08 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot: (Back to the future IV!)
[Sat Mar 25 18:51:20 2006] : whispering to GM, Test test
[Sat Mar 25 18:51:23 2006] : (16) Elorin: (We're not going to have to learn d20 Modern rules, are we?)
[Sat Mar 25 18:51:25 2006] : (16) Elorin: (:P)
[Sat Mar 25 18:51:27 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot: (Alternate universe, I'm thinking)
[Sat Mar 25 18:51:33 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot: (Hey, I already have them. :D )
[Sat Mar 25 18:51:51 2006] : (13) Kibin: (Out of curiosity, how tall is this 'gnome'?)
[Sat Mar 25 18:51:53 2006] : (1) GM: (Nah; homebrew vehicle......)
[Sat Mar 25 18:52:01 2006] : (16) Elorin: (not that I'd really mind, but I would have to be pointed to a source)
[Sat Mar 25 18:52:11 2006] : (1) GM: (Three feet tall)
[Sat Mar 25 18:52:24 2006] : (13) Kibin: (Hmmmm.)
[Sat Mar 25 18:53:00 2006] : (13) Kibin: Uh, uninhabit the gnome now?
[Sat Mar 25 18:53:18 2006] : (1) GM: Gnome: Were you planning on doing something with a rope?
[Sat Mar 25 18:53:21 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot: (Ok, I have to Go for a bit...)
[Sat Mar 25 18:53:41 2006] : (13) Kibin: Don't see a point if I can just easily run him down and paralyze him...
[Sat Mar 25 18:53:43 2006] : (16) Elorin: (anyone got ranks in Use Rope?)
[Sat Mar 25 18:53:58 2006] : (1) GM: Gnome: fair enough.
[Sat Mar 25 18:54:10 2006] : (1) GM: The Gnome lays down, and Jason steps out.
[Sat Mar 25 18:54:16 2006] : (13) Kibin: Seeing as how I can fly about five times as much as a halfling.
[Sat Mar 25 18:54:20 2006] : (1) GM: The Gnome looks very confused.
[Sat Mar 25 18:54:50 2006] : (1) GM: Gnome: Porqua? Que'll est cette?
[Sat Mar 25 18:55:07 2006] : (1) GM: Gnome: Ou est moi?
[Sat Mar 25 18:55:22 2006] : (1) GM: Gnome: Quell est vous?
[Sat Mar 25 18:55:28 2006] : (13) Kibin: Oookay... Elorin?
[Sat Mar 25 18:55:33 2006] : ** (16) Elorin mumbles "should have guessed..." **
[Sat Mar 25 18:55:35 2006] : (16) Elorin: Elorin casts Tongues ( level 4, "Speak any language" )
[Sat Mar 25 18:55:37 2006] : (16) Elorin: Elorin casts Level 4 Spell ( level 4, "Spell slot tracking device" )
[Sat Mar 25 18:55:45 2006] : (13) Kibin: (On the gnome, I suppose.)
[Sat Mar 25 18:56:02 2006] : (13) Kibin: (Mexican time-travelling midgets! :D)
[Sat Mar 25 18:56:31 2006] : (1) GM: (On who?)
[Sat Mar 25 18:57:05 2006] : (16) Elorin: (the gnome)
[Sat Mar 25 18:57:14 2006] : (16) Elorin: Could you repeat that?
[Sat Mar 25 18:57:28 2006] : (1) GM: Gnome: Ah, it touched me! What's going on?
[Sat Mar 25 18:57:52 2006] : (1) GM: Gnome: And why can I understand that gibberish you're spouting? For that matter, why am I speaking it?
[Sat Mar 25 18:58:05 2006] : (13) Kibin: Because of magic?
[Sat Mar 25 18:58:19 2006] : (16) Elorin: It's pretty simple, really. We captured you, and we want to know where you're from and why you're invading us.
[Sat Mar 25 18:58:57 2006] : (13) Kibin: (Hehe. What would people do if they were playing a video game, and they were teleported into the game? :D)
[Sat Mar 25 18:59:10 2006] : (1) GM: Gnome: What invasion? We're just mining out some minerals.
[Sat Mar 25 18:59:37 2006] : (16) Elorin: And you didn't notice the previous inhabitants of the mines?
[Sat Mar 25 18:59:45 2006] : (16) Elorin: You killed near a thousand of them.
[Sat Mar 25 19:00:01 2006] : (16) Elorin: Maybe not you, personally, but your people did.
[Sat Mar 25 19:00:45 2006] : (1) GM: Gnome: The guards did mention something about recent fumigating.... but they described barbaric animals, unable to speak intelligibly, using only the most rudimentary tools.
[Sat Mar 25 19:01:04 2006] : (1) GM: Gnome: Hardly people to be invaded.
[Sat Mar 25 19:01:41 2006] : (13) Kibin: We can speak just fine...
[Sat Mar 25 19:02:49 2006] : (1) GM: Gnome: No, you're speaking gibberish. Uncouth howling with no subtility of flavor. I don't know what you did, but aparently you cursed me to spek in your so-called language for now. Bah!
[Sat Mar 25 19:02:51 2006] : (16) Elorin: You consider people able to fashion full plate mail to be barbaric animals?
[Sat Mar 25 19:03:12 2006] : (13) Kibin: You can speak in whatever language you want to...
[Sat Mar 25 19:03:19 2006] : (16) Elorin: No, we're speaking a different language.
[Sat Mar 25 19:03:36 2006] : (16) Elorin: Do languages not exist where you come from?
[Sat Mar 25 19:04:12 2006] : (1) GM: Gnome: I wasn't here for the fumigation. Most the guards have gone home, leaving just a handful to watch the tunnels for more pests coming in. Mostly we're just pulling ore, now.
[Sat Mar 25 19:04:41 2006] : (1) GM: Gnome: Oh, history books tell us there used to be other tongues, before the Enlightenment.
[Sat Mar 25 19:04:53 2006] : (13) Kibin: Enlightenment?
[Sat Mar 25 19:05:56 2006] : (1) GM: Gnome: Yep. The end to the many, many wars that had plagued the (untranslatable) for generations.
[Sat Mar 25 19:06:34 2006] : (16) Elorin: Well, all of your recent "fumigations" add up to a rather incredibly massive war for us.
[Sat Mar 25 19:07:34 2006] : (1) GM: Gnome: Ah, yes, I suppose insects would see a flea dip for a dog as a war......
[Sat Mar 25 19:07:58 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot: (Back)
[Sat Mar 25 19:08:04 2006] : (16) Elorin: And what, pray tell, makes us an insignificant as fleas?
[Sat Mar 25 19:08:19 2006] : (1) GM: Gnome: How many did you say were lost in this fumigation?
[Sat Mar 25 19:08:24 2006] : (16) Elorin: (*as, not an)
[Sat Mar 25 19:08:34 2006] : (16) Elorin: 1000
[Sat Mar 25 19:09:02 2006] : (1) GM: Gnome: The guards lost one. Occasionally, an insect is poisonous.
[Sat Mar 25 19:09:29 2006] : (1) GM: Gnome: Seems I've been bit rather badly, though.....
[Sat Mar 25 19:09:43 2006] : (16) Elorin: They were unprepared and had no idea what they were facing.
[Sat Mar 25 19:09:53 2006] : (16) Elorin: Of course the loss ratio was horrible.
[Sat Mar 25 19:10:03 2006] : (13) Kibin: If we're just insects, then explain how we're talking to you?
[Sat Mar 25 19:10:38 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot: (Y'know, I'm getting definite flashbacks to the Witch World novels...)
[Sat Mar 25 19:10:54 2006] : (16) Elorin: And how many times did one of your machines have to be pulled back for repair?
[Sat Mar 25 19:11:05 2006] : (1) GM: Gnome: Oh, must be that poison of yours. I've decided I'm halucinating.
[Sat Mar 25 19:11:40 2006] : (1) GM: Gnome: Oh, they're cheap. And they aren't fully here, aren't really getting damaged to be repaired.
[Sat Mar 25 19:12:08 2006] : (16) Elorin: "fully here"? What do you mean?
[Sat Mar 25 19:12:49 2006] : (1) GM: Gnome: I'm not a (untranslatable); Our (untranslatable) have found some really nifty principals involved in this exploration; it's almost impossible to actually get killed or damaged.
[Sat Mar 25 19:13:15 2006] : (1) GM: Gnome: Almost. (Sigh)
[Sat Mar 25 19:13:31 2006] : (16) Elorin: Oh, that might change soon...
[Sat Mar 25 19:13:44 2006] : (13) Kibin: Unless you get removed from that armor of yours...
[Sat Mar 25 19:14:11 2006] : (16) Elorin: Everyone you've been fighting has been assuming that the armor is its own creature.
[Sat Mar 25 19:14:19 2006] : (1) GM: Gnome: Yeah, that's only happened once. Well, twice, now.....
[Sat Mar 25 19:14:33 2006] : (16) Elorin: Once they learn there's a pilot inside, they'll adjust tactics appropriately.
[Sat Mar 25 19:15:35 2006] : (13) Kibin: How exactly did you get here in the first place?
[Sat Mar 25 19:15:37 2006] : (1) GM: Gnome: Well, bugs always adapt, eventaully. Our (untranslatable) will also adapt the equipment to make it harder.
[Sat Mar 25 19:16:34 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot: "Which makes you bugs."
[Sat Mar 25 19:16:53 2006] : (1) GM: Gnome: As I said, I'm not a (untranslatable); I just walked through a hole, followed my travel instructions, as inane as they were, and went through the other hole.
[Sat Mar 25 19:16:55 2006] : (16) Elorin: Riiiight. Bugs that "adapt" to fight your combat machines.
[Sat Mar 25 19:17:10 2006] : (16) Elorin: What would it take to convince you that we're not bugs.
[Sat Mar 25 19:17:12 2006] : (16) Elorin: ?
[Sat Mar 25 19:17:31 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot: "So - You just obey orders unquestioning? Sounds like a bug to me."
[Sat Mar 25 19:18:52 2006] : (1) GM: Gnome: Well, I'm not dead from whatever poison it was, so I guess I'm not hallucinating after all. And they weren't unreasonable instructions, nor was I following blindly; the travel is very strange. If you don't follow insturctions exactly, you might find yourself facing off against creatures out of nightmare.
[Sat Mar 25 19:19:19 2006] : (13) Kibin: You're not dead because we haven't killed you yet...
[Sat Mar 25 19:20:01 2006] : (16) Elorin: And I'd rather not change that. He seems an unwitting pawn, hardly deserving of such a severe punishment as death.
[Sat Mar 25 19:20:34 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot: "This is war, Elorin."
[Sat Mar 25 19:20:59 2006] : (16) Elorin: And he is a prisoner, not an enemy soldier on the battlefield.
[Sat Mar 25 19:21:41 2006] : (16) Elorin: Besides, even one as low as him probably has a lot more useful information left to divulge.
[Sat Mar 25 19:23:06 2006] : (16) Elorin: (hello?)
[Sat Mar 25 19:23:17 2006] : (13) Kibin: (I'm here.)
[Sat Mar 25 19:23:37 2006] : (1) GM: Gnome: Ah, wonderful to know that those who have me under their power disagree on how long I should survive.....
[Sat Mar 25 19:23:41 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot: (I'm here)
[Sat Mar 25 19:23:57 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot: "That is how you operate."
[Sat Mar 25 19:24:09 2006] : (13) Kibin: Maybe it's something like planar travel..
[Sat Mar 25 19:24:27 2006] : (16) Elorin: Of course, if it really becomes absolutely necessary, I suppose we could kill him and question the corpse...
[Sat Mar 25 19:24:40 2006] : (16) Elorin: (not that I'd ever actually do that)
[Sat Mar 25 19:24:53 2006] : (16) Elorin: (unless it really truly was necessary)
[Sat Mar 25 19:25:13 2006] : (1) GM: Gnome: Okay, that's not the statement of a rational being. Once something's dead, it's dead. Corpse's don't talk.
[Sat Mar 25 19:25:49 2006] : (16) Elorin: And no one can make someone speak a language he's never heard before just by touching him, right? :P
[Sat Mar 25 19:25:57 2006] : (13) Kibin: But our magic can do it.
[Sat Mar 25 19:26:02 2006] : (1) GM: Jason Grins at him, then runs his hand through the gnome, and Jason leans his head back, exposing his spine.
[Sat Mar 25 19:26:12 2006] : (1) GM: Jason: Oh yeah?
[Sat Mar 25 19:26:22 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot: "We talk to him every day...And he's dead."
[Sat Mar 25 19:26:35 2006] : (1) GM: The gnome faints.
[Sat Mar 25 19:26:38 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot: (Twilight zone music in the background)
[Sat Mar 25 19:26:50 2006] : (13) Kibin: Great job, Jason.
[Sat Mar 25 19:27:15 2006] : (16) Elorin: I think magic just doesn't exist wherever they come from.
[Sat Mar 25 19:27:28 2006] : (13) Kibin: Possibly.
[Sat Mar 25 19:27:46 2006] : (13) Kibin: Which means if I was in their world, I would still be dead. Hmmm.
[Sat Mar 25 19:28:18 2006] : (16) Elorin: Or maybe it does exist, but no one's figured out how to use it.
[Sat Mar 25 19:28:25 2006] : (13) Kibin: Elorin, do you think you can wake him back up?
[Sat Mar 25 19:28:33 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot: "It means we have an advantage - For as long as we can hold it."
[Sat Mar 25 19:28:41 2006] : (1) GM: Jason: How much of a difference is there, really?
[Sat Mar 25 19:29:02 2006] : (13) Kibin: One, we can actually go there?
[Sat Mar 25 19:29:04 2006] : (16) Elorin: We have magic and they don't, but they have those strange machines and we don't.
[Sat Mar 25 19:29:06 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot: If they have no magic, it is likely they will be unable to use it.
[Sat Mar 25 19:29:22 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot: If they have magic but don't know how, it is likely they can learn.
[Sat Mar 25 19:29:26 2006] : ** (13) Kibin pokes the gnome. **
[Sat Mar 25 19:29:53 2006] : (1) GM: Gnome: Wha? Such a horrid nightmare..... wait - that's not my cieling.....
[Sat Mar 25 19:30:29 2006] : (1) GM: Gnome: Oh, not a dream. Pity. Then again, maybe I am halucinating....
[Sat Mar 25 19:30:38 2006] : (16) Elorin: Wake up sleepyhead. Surprise, magic is real. :P
[Sat Mar 25 19:31:02 2006] : (1) GM: Gnome: You keep using that word - what does it mean?
[Sat Mar 25 19:31:33 2006] : (13) Kibin: (What, they never played role playing games? :P)
[Sat Mar 25 19:31:41 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot: "It means the ability to kill you and talk to your corpse."
[Sat Mar 25 19:31:51 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot: "Or to simply force you to answer any question."
[Sat Mar 25 19:32:00 2006] : (16) Elorin: Well, that answers that question. They really don't.
[Sat Mar 25 19:32:39 2006] : (16) Elorin: Ever seen a stage performance where someone makes something seem to disappear, or does something else that seems impossible?
[Sat Mar 25 19:33:10 2006] : (16) Elorin: (sleight of hand does exist in D&D, just probably not as developed as in the modern world)
[Sat Mar 25 19:33:28 2006] : (1) GM: Gnome: No, we got tired of stage tricks a long time ago. Doesn't teach anyone anything.
[Sat Mar 25 19:33:31 2006] : (13) Kibin: (Says you.)
[Sat Mar 25 19:33:33 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot: "Oh, don't explain it."
[Sat Mar 25 19:33:49 2006] : (13) Kibin: I suppose you still think you're hallucinating?
[Sat Mar 25 19:34:13 2006] : (16) Elorin: Well, magic is a way to do all those stage tricks just fine - except that they're not just tricks.
[Sat Mar 25 19:34:15 2006] : (13) Kibin: (Gotta go now. :(
[Sat Mar 25 19:34:47 2006] : (1) GM: Gnome: Considering that it's impossible that I could have gotten out of my suit so easily, and impossible that a corpse could walk, and impossible that I could understand such nonsense?
[Sat Mar 25 19:35:23 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot: (Leave it here?)
[Sat Mar 25 19:35:41 2006] : (13) Kibin: (Yeah. Next week I can slash him back into reality.)
[Sat Mar 25 19:36:06 2006] : (1) GM: (Reasonable)
[Sat Mar 25 19:36:20 2006] : (16) Elorin: (I wonder, do they have technological first aid advanced enough to be similar to low-level cure spells?)
[Sat Mar 25 19:36:29 2006] : ** (13) Kibin found the F4 macro key **
[Sat Mar 25 19:36:35 2006] : (13) Kibin: Disconnecting from server...
[Sat Mar 25 19:36:37 2006] : (13) Kibin (exit): 19:36
[Sat Mar 25 19:36:48 2006] : (1) GM: Well, next week, then?
[Sat Mar 25 19:37:09 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot: (Yep)
[Sat Mar 25 19:37:24 2006] : (16) Elorin: (so, next week we get to convince someone the impossible is possible - and then try to find someone who actually matters to repeat the exercise with)
[Sat Mar 25 19:37:26 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot: (And what's with giving information to the prisoner?)
[Sat Mar 25 19:37:29 2006] : (16) Elorin: (sounds fun)
[Sat Mar 25 19:37:58 2006] : Server Administrator-> Closing Server.....
[Sat Mar 25 19:38:02 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot: Disconnecting from server...
[Sat Mar 25 19:38:04 2006] : (14) Eldon Quickfoot (exit): 19:38
[Sat Mar 25 19:38:09 2006] : (16) Elorin: Disconnecting from server...
[Sat Mar 25 19:38:12 2006] : (16) Elorin (exit): 19:38
[Sat Mar 25 19:38:15 2006] : Game disconnected!
