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.

Session for 07/29/2006 cancelled due to an interview on the part of the DM. Sorry.
Setting the server up anyway, in case someone else wants to try their hand at it.

(1) Kibin (enter): 09:44
(1) Kibin: Hello.
(2) GM: Morning.
(1) Kibin: While people get here, I'll convert my character sheet into a super-convienent online format.
(2) GM: Umm... breakfast....
(2) GM: Back. With 10 minutes to spare....
(3) Kaylin (enter): 09:55
(2) GM: Morning.
(3) Kaylin: Good morning
(3) Kaylin: How's your construction project coming along?
(2) GM: Well, we've got the four big rafters up in the air; crane operator told us they weighed in at 12,000 pounds each, which is odd, as the specs said 9,000 pounds each.
(2) GM: Quite impressive, actually, seeing chunks of wood that big 40 feet up.
(3) Kaylin: Wow, that's a bit of a mismatch. Is that going to pose a problem?
(2) GM: Not a clue.
(3) Kaylin: that must be pretty neat. Is this entirely a church-community project?
(2) GM: We hire a few people to do some of the more specialist stuff (such as operating the crane) and we've hired Laborers for Christ (a christian orginization, but the workers are all from out of state), but very nearly.
(3) Kaylin: Nice, that sounds like it'd be pretty enjoyable. Hope it all goes well :)
(2) GM: Well, the concrete hasn't shattered from anything dropping yet, and there've been no major injuries, so it's a success so far.
(1) Kibin: Have original values for attributes now...
(1) Kibin: [1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10+11+12+13+14+15+16+17+18+19] -> 190
(1) Kibin: 190,000 for level 20?
(2) GM: Yep; also expressable as (0+19)*(20/2)
(1) Kibin: Hmmm.
(1) Kibin: Got 24 listed as highest attack bonus for some reason... dex, BAB, size, and enchantment only brings it up to 23 though...
(2) GM: It's a linear progression math trick;(first value + last value) * (number of values / 2)
(2) GM: What format?
(1) Kibin: What do you mean what format?
(1) Kibin: It's listed as 23+1.
(2) GM: Are you using OpenRPG, some offline program that prodeces HTML, what?
(1) Kibin: Actually I wrote it in there. :P
(1) Kibin: Don't know what the extra 1 is for though.
(2) GM: Because occasionally Kaylin takes the time to Haste everyone?
(1) Kibin: Hmmm. Maybe.
(1) Kibin: Odd, adamantine doesn't add to the weight of an item.
(2) GM: Ah, there it is; Heroe's Feast gives a +1 Morale bonus to attack rolls.
(1) Kibin: Oh. Thanks.
(1) Kibin: How do you make a link?
(2) GM: Follow This But do remember to close everything....
(2) GM: The problem with c;
(2) GM: The problem with demonstrating is that some of the characters are kinda reserved....
(1) Kibin: Character Sheet in progress.
(1) Kibin: Lot easier to update, and you can view it at any time.
(1) Kibin: Neat, huh?
(2) GM: Yep.
(1) Kibin: And to give myself XP, I just type a value in XP change.
(1) Kibin: Also have the original values without enhancement to attributes, with the scores modified by magic items to the right.
(1) Kibin: What's the hypothetical save DC for spells cast by the ring?
(2) GM: 10+spell level + minimum ability modifier; 11, for a 1st level spell, 10 for a cantrip.
(4) Raistlin111 (enter): 10:33
(4) Raistlin111: Disconnecting from server...
(4) Raistlin111 (exit): 10:33
(1) Kibin: Done. How does it look?
(2) GM: Well, as a mild annoyance, it cuts off the length of the skills, so all the "Knoweldg" skills have the same name......
(1) Kibin: Huh, that's odd.
(2) GM: It does, however, depend on my text size settings.....
(2) GM: Seems to have a pixel width for the field or something, but lets the text size float.
(1) Kibin: Looks fine now.
(1) Kibin: Cuts off slightly still, but meh.
(1) Kibin: 3,000 more XP till I get.... glorious +20 HP!
(2) GM: I'm curious where you get the +20 figure from.... can't take Epic feats until 21st....
(1) Kibin: Actually 20+1d12 HP.
(2) GM: Ah, Con boost.
(1) Kibin: I get a +1 to an attribute at level 20 if I recall.
(1) Kibin: And an odd constitution.
(2) GM: Hmm..... 10:43.....
(1) Kibin: Hmmm.
(1) Kibin: Actually get 24+1d12 HP.
(1) Kibin: Wait
(1) Kibin: Make that 24+1d6 HP for rogue skills and trap sense....
(2) GM: Hmm..... well, 45 after; wait, run without, or try a quick lower-level one shot?
(1) Kibin: Hmmmm.
(3) Kaylin: I'm fine either way
(1) Kibin: What level?
(1) Kibin: Meh, would take too long to make a character. Let's just run without.
(2) GM: Okay.
(2) GM: One don't care, one run without....
(2) GM: See you on the other side...
Moving to room 'D and D'..

(1) Kibin (enter): 10:55
(3) Kaylin (enter): 10:55
(1) Kibin: (Why is it you can get a higher AC by attacking rather than with total defense with combat expertise?)
(3) Kaylin: (The best defense is a good offense)
(3) Kaylin: (While they're staying alive they're not hurting you so much)
(2) GM: In one, you're going nowhere, watching carefully while you've got your sword/whatever out, actively intercepting blows as they come in, making sure to strike at arms, et cetera as they come your way. Total Defense, while handy, isn't linked to Combat Expertiese at all.
(2) GM: Let's see.... when we last left our heros, they were enjoying the ruins of the town, after the big red lizardy guy had fled.
(1) Kibin: ((Huh? O.o))
(2) GM: Okay, it was only partially banged up... but he did get several of he townsfolk.... who frustrated him no end by being utterly calm about it.... no screaming, no yelling, no gurgling deaths... just passively dying and being nice while doing so.
(1) Kibin: (How'd the big red lizardy guy flee?)
(2) GM: Greater Teleport.
(1) Kibin: (You mean while he was a stone statue?)
(2) GM: Different big red.
(1) Kibin: (Oh.)
(2) GM: Statue is down by the lake; this big red was one of the ones you let loose from the dungeon when killing the other.
(1) Kibin: (Where are we?)
(2) GM: In town - the one where the Cleric was stopping a war - near the church; there seem to be a few things that were set alight, carts knocked over, and the like, as well as a few bloody dead, and decapitated bodies lying around. Which, oddly, doens't seem to bother the townsfolk much.
(1) Kibin: (How'd you give me sneak attack damage on nearly all my attacks?)
(2) GM: They just go about their business, selling their wares, buying stuff, being cheerful.
(1) Kibin: (Oh, and you made a mistake. Up to 9d6 damage now.)
(2) GM: (You know, I don't recall. Perhaps there was a peasant on the other side with a scyth or something..... hmm.....)
** (1) Kibin goes cool down the things alight with his freezing breath. **
(1) Kibin: (Oh. Jason threatened.)
(2) GM: And, as there were just mundane fires, they go out without too much fuss.
(2) GM: (About as effective... okay.)
(3) Kaylin: These people are still docile? That cleric must have a strong hold over them...
(2) GM: Jason: Well, his pet is stoned out of his mind... but he's still alive.
(1) Kibin: What are we going to do with that pit fiend statue?
(3) Kaylin: The cleric will probably just revive it, won't he...
(3) Kaylin: I would suggest destroying the statue.
(1) Kibin: Chances are the cleric can ressurect the statue.,
(1) Kibin: I mean the pit fiend.
(2) GM: Jason: Technically, while a statue, he isn't dead.....
(1) Kibin: Yup.
(3) Kaylin: So are we agreed?
(1) Kibin: What happens if you destroy the statue? Would it be impossible to revive him?
whispering to Kaylin, Spellcraft check?
(3) Kaylin: Spellcraft Skill Check: [1d20+37] -> [15,37] = (52)
** (1) Kibin thinks for a moment. "We could give those technognomes a nice statue... **
whispering to Kaylin, If you were to shatter the statue into little itty bitty pebbles, the Pit Fiend wouldn't technically be hurt until it was un-stoned... at which point, it would be a pebbly, bloody, mess.
whispering to Kaylin, Knoweledge(the planes)?
(3) Kaylin: Knowledge: The Planes Skill Check: [1d20+21] -> [8,21] = (29)
whispering to Kaylin, Unfortunately, Pit Fiends tend to recover from any injury very, very quickly.... and getting pebblified and unstoned wouldn't be particularly different.
(3) Kaylin: Hmm.
(3) Kaylin: Pit fiends are very tough...
(3) Kaylin: it would probably survive the statue being turned into flesh even after we broke it.
(1) Kibin: So give the gnomes a nice completely life-like statue.
(3) Kaylin: That might keep it safe...
(1) Kibin: Only one entrance, their suits are immune to magic...
(3) Kaylin: He tends to operate on his own, as well. We just have to convince the gnomes to take it
** (1) Kibin goes into salesperson mode. "Beautiful, lifelike statue of a fantasy creature! Cheap, and with perfect detail!" **
(2) GM: Jason: Didn't it's wing break when it landed?
(1) Kibin: Hmmm. Dang.
** (3) Kaylin laughs a little **
(3) Kaylin: Say it's a fallen angel and the broken wing is symbolic of the fall from divine grace.
** (1) Kibin asks Kaylin, "What to do with the wing?" **
(3) Kaylin: Knowledge: The Planes check on whether the wing by itself could be useful... [1d20+21] -> [8,21] = (29)
** (1) Kibin suggests, "Before we discuss anything more, perhaps we should get the statue up here?" **
(1) Kibin: (*shameless OOC help* Bind the soul into a gem, then entrust the gem with someone?)
whispering to Kaylin, Well, someone could use Stone to Flesh on it....... and with the rest of him being a statue somewhere, it would be the largest living piece to regenerate from..... or you could use it as a novelty book end, or something....
(3) Kaylin: (I don't have any way to do that, afaik... you?)
(1) Kibin: (Soul bind, a level 9 necromancy spell?)
(3) Kaylin: (Yeah, don't have it yet)
(1) Kibin: (x.x)
(2) GM: (only works on dead critters... which a stoned critter isn't. Also, have you looked at the material componenet on that?)
(1) Kibin: (A black sapphire of at least 1,000 GP.)
(1) Kibin: (Which is a focus.)
(1) Kibin: (And thus not destroyed in the process.)
(2) GM: ... "for every hit dice of the creature which is to be bound"
(3) Kaylin: We'll need to get the wing too. The pit fiend could regenerate from the wing alone, if that was returned to flesh.
(1) Kibin: (Which is only 18,000.)
(1) Kibin: Which I already suggested...
(1) Kibin: (Pit fiends have low hitdice for their CR. :)
(3) Kaylin: Oh, did you? I'm sorry, must not have been paying attention.
(1) Kibin: (Would the statue fit in my portable hole?)
(2) GM: "...A pit fiend is 12 feet tall ...." and a portable hole is only 10 feet deep.
(1) Kibin: (For the soulbind, I was mostly thinking who do we know that's an epic level or so caster and have lots of expensive gems.)
(2) GM: And it was in flight, so the wings are extended......
(2) GM: Well, the one that's still attached.....
** (1) Kibin plans a bit more... "Don't think it would be small enough to fit in a portable hole, however.... hmmm." **
(3) Kaylin: Size won't be an issue. It is stone, right?
(1) Kibin: Yeah... it's stone...
(3) Kaylin: We simply break it to the correct size.
(1) Kibin: Oh.
(1) Kibin: Hmmm. That would work.
(3) Kaylin: As long as we keep the pieces that should be sufficient.
(1) Kibin: Except I wouldn't quite want pieces of pit fiend in my portable hole to possibly regenerate.
(3) Kaylin: They won't regenerate as long as they are composed of rock.
(1) Kibin: And if someone were to take the portable hole from me and find a piece of rock or so?
(3) Kaylin: Then there would be trouble.
(1) Kibin: Could have a nice stone in the foundation of a building...
(1) Kibin: Would make it very inconvienent if the building was ever destroyed and he was stone to fleshed.
(1) Kibin: (Hehe... we could just toss it into the positive energy plane...)
(1) Kibin: (Grind up into dust and toss it through a gate into the positive energy plane...)
(3) Kaylin: (That would be... amusing)
(1) Kibin: (Especially rescue attempts. There's the problem of people blowing up.)
(1) Kibin: (But again I have no clue what the positive energy plane is.)
(2) GM: You hear a scream around a building somewhere, and a booming voice: "Finally! that was the problem..."
(2) GM: It's shortly thereafter followed by other screams.....
(3) Kaylin: Listen Skill Check: [1d20+7] -> [7,7] = (14)
(1) Kibin: Listen Skill Check: [1d20+21] -> [4,21] = (25)
(3) Kaylin: (trying to locate the direction)
(1) Kibin: (To identify the voice.)
(1) Kibin: (And direction is good too.)
whispering to Kaylin, Where, you have no clue.....
(3) Kaylin: Where'd that come from?
whispering to Kibin, It seems to be Big Red 2 that you "rescued" from the dungeon....... and is around on the other side of the "church"
(2) GM: A few of the screams suddenly cut off.
** (1) Kibin looks over in the direction of the church, replying, "Other side of the church." Kibin flies up to the top of the church, waiting there hovering for the rest of the party to follow. **
** (3) Kaylin follows at a run **
(2) GM: On the other side of the church, you spy one of the Big Red critters you let loose from the Cleric's dungeon. There is a mob of townsfolk running screaming from it, and it's lobbing them every which way with it's mind, charging in and ripping them to bloody shreds, and otherwise enjoying itself very throughoughly.
(1) Kibin: (Combat time starts when the whole group gets here, I suppose.)
(3) Kaylin: Not good...
(2) GM: Big Red 2: Ah, welcome! I figured out what was wrong with them! Care to join in the fun?
** (1) Kibin mutters, "Sure..." and dives into attack when the entire group is near. **
(2) GM: Big Red 2: I fixed them! Isn't it lovely?
(1) Kibin: (IN TO ATTACK, not INTO ATTACK.)
(2) GM: Meh, roll vs. Initiative......
(1) Kibin: (There's a difference. Heh.)
(1) Kibin: Dex check: [1d20+3] -> [5,3] = (8)
(3) Kaylin: Dex check: [1d20+2] -> [6,2] = (8)
(2) GM: [1d20+11] -> [12,11] = (23)
(2) GM: Dex check: [1d20+5] -> [19,5] = (24)
(3) Kaylin: (go us!)
(2) GM: Kibin, Kaylin - roll off.
(3) Kaylin: Dex check: [1d20+2] -> [13,2] = (15)
(1) Kibin: Dex check: [1d20+3] -> [7,3] = (10)
(2) GM: Jason, Big Red 2, Kaylin, Kibin
(2) GM: Ghost Telekenesis: Manuvers: Standard Action, Concentration: Combat Manuvers (Disarm, Trip, Grapple (Pin), Bull Rush) 14 rounds; +14 for Base Attack, +Cha Mod (11) for dex/str due to method), Wait: [1d4] -> [2] = (2)
(2) GM: Jason: Now now, none of that....
(2) GM: Touch: [1d20+25] -> [12,25] = (37), Hold: [1d20+25] -> [3,25] = (28), opposed: [1d20+36] -> [11,36] = (47)
(2) GM: Big Red laughs at the pathetic attempt to hold him in check.
(3) Kaylin: (what's the distance situation like?)
(2) GM: Big Red: Oh, you want to play? Here, let me show you how it's done......
(2) GM: About a hundred feet.
(1) Kibin: (Did Jason at least help flank?)
(2) GM: Nah, tried to grapple... didn't work too much.
(2) GM: Kaylin, Kibin - Will saves.
(1) Kibin: Will save: [1d20+16] -> [5,16] = (21)
(3) Kaylin: Will save: [1d20+21] -> [20,21] = (41)
(1) Kibin: (HUh. Increase that save by 1 if it matters.)
(1) Kibin: Reflex save: [1d20+22] -> [15,22] = (37)
(2) GM: Attack roll: [1d20+20+7] -> [4,20,7] = (31)
(2) GM: Kaylin - Kibin comes flying from his spot in the sky and slams into you.....
(2) GM: Kaylin, take [2d6] -> [6,2] = (8) damage; Kibin: [1d6] -> [5] = (5)
(2) GM: Big Red: Ah, well, was hoping to have you meet in the middle... still...
(2) GM: Here....
(1) Kibin: (I'm a hard, dense, object?)
(3) Kaylin: (just ask Kaylin in-character)
(2) GM: What's your Bracers of Armor equivalent to, armor-wise?
(1) Kibin: (And Kaylin is a solid surface?)
(1) Kibin: (+8. :P)
(2) GM: So it's like you're wearing full plate......
(2) GM: And Kaylin runs around with a Mage Armor up at all times, at least, I imagine....
(1) Kibin: (Hmmm. That's in addition to a +6 natural armor bonus...)
(2) GM: Kibin gets grappled: Touch: [1d20+20+18] -> [7,20,18] = (45), hold: [1d20+20+18] -> [15,20,18] = (53)
(1) Kibin: (So even without the bracers it's equavalent to splint or banded mail. Hmmm.)
(1) Kibin: [1d20+11] -> [7,11] = (18)
(1) Kibin: (Whooo. Fear my grapple modifier thingie.)
(2) GM: Yeah. You're grappled.
(2) GM: Kaylin's turn.
(3) Kaylin: (in case it's relevant, no, no mage armor - Robe of teh Archmagi provides an Armor bonus too)
(2) GM: Of ... what, +5? Rather solid.
(3) Kaylin: (yeah, non-stacking, right?)
(2) GM: For most things. The Robe of the Archmagi isn't listed as a Force Effect, however, and so doesn't apply to incorporeal touch.
(2) GM: Kaylin - your turn.
(3) Kaylin: (ah)
** (3) Kaylin moves up 30 feet to the balor **
(2) GM: So at 70 feet, now.
(2) GM: Using your standard action for anything?
(3) Kaylin: Kaylin casts Enervation ( level 4, "Subject gains 1d4 negative levels." )
(1) Kibin: (Vaporize him. By the way, how far away am I grappled?)
(1) Kibin: (X.x)
(3) Kaylin: (we've had a ton of combats today)
(3) Kaylin: (I'm basically out of spells)
(2) GM: 100 feet; you were thrown to where Kaylin was standing.
(1) Kibin: (Phooey.)
(2) GM: Touch attack roll and SR check?
(1) Kibin: (ELORIN WHERE ARE YOU!)
(3) Kaylin: Ranged Touch Attack Roll: [1d20+8] -> [16,8] = (24) ===> Damage: [0+0] -> 0
(3) Kaylin: Ranged Touch Attack Roll: [1d20+3] -> [19,3] = (22) ===> Damage: [0+0] -> 0
(3) Kaylin: SR: [1d20+25] -> [13,25] = (38)
(2) GM: The black ray springs from your Hand and hits the red beast.... visibly shaking him.
(2) GM: Amount?
(3) Kaylin: [1d4] -> [1] = (1)
(2) GM: Kibin?
** (1) Kibin tries slipping out of the grapple, which is about all he can do at the moment. **
(1) Kibin: Escape Artist Skill Check: [1d20+21] -> [13,21] = (34)
(2) GM: Opposed: [1d20+19+8] -> [6,19,8] = (33)
(2) GM: And you get out with your standard action. Using your move?
(2) GM: Kibin slips agily from the grasp of the force he can't see.... but can feel.
** (1) Kibin starts flying towards the pit fiend, past Kaylin, to the ground next to the pit fiend, trying to have Jason on the other side of the pit fiend. **
(2) GM: What's your move?
(1) Kibin: (100 feet flying.)
(2) GM: That's far enough to reach the near side..... getting close enough to actually threaten him yet?
(1) Kibin: (Yeah.)
(2) GM: He's Large, and has reach - AoO....
(1) Kibin: (And of course he's a dodge target.)
(2) GM: Vorpal Longsword, [1d20+32] -> [10,32] = (42) for [2d6+8] -> [4,5,8] = (17)
(1) Kibin: (Ow.)
(1) Kibin: (OH CRUD VORPAL! O.O)
(2) GM: He could be Power Attacking...... two-handed, if he wanted.....
(2) GM: But it's Jason's turn again.....
(1) Kibin: (Go Jason go!)
(1) Kibin: (Huh, you can do disarm attempts with telekinesis.)
(1) Kibin: (Anyway... *waits.*)
(2) GM: Jason husles over towards Big Red, casts a spell, and the resulting whirlwind hustles around to the opposite side of the critter....
(2) GM: Threatening...
(2) GM: But it's the critter's turn...
(2) GM: Spellcraft: [1d20+30] -> [4,30] = (34)
(2) GM: Will save: [1d20+18] -> [4,18] = (22)
(1) Kibin: (Who threatens?)
(2) GM: Jason's shadow critter.....
(2) GM: Shadow Conjouration, Greater, 7th: As shadow conjuration, but up to 6th level and 60% real
(2) GM: A Bralani, specifically.....
(1) Kibin: (Oh, okay. Sweet.)
(2) GM: Standard action flanking - have to love it.
(1) Kibin: (Yup.)
(2) GM: But it's Big Red's turn again.....
(2) GM: He Concentrates.... [1d20+32] -> [15,32] = (47)
(1) Kibin: (Cursed defensive casting.)
(1) Kibin: (Hmmm. Did the whirlwind at least attack?)
(2) GM: I'm only giving him a standard or a move, as he's effectively summoned partway through the round.
(2) GM: And is suddenly standing right next to Kaylin.....
(1) Kibin: (Ah, okay.)
(2) GM: And it grins......
(2) GM: Kibin, will save.
** (3) Kaylin squeaks **
(1) Kibin: Will save: [1d20+17] -> [9,17] = (26)
(2) GM: Bralani: Will: [1d20+7] -> [13,7] = (20)
(2) GM: Kibin stands pat, but the Whirlwind goes flying at him.....
(1) Kibin: (Sweet, I actually saved for once!)
(1) Kibin: (Him being me? O.o)
(2) GM: [1d20+19+8] -> [6,19,8] = (33) for [6d6] -> [5,2,2,1,6,5] = (21)
(2) GM: Yep.
(1) Kibin: (Nada. Didn't even touch me.)
(2) GM: Fortunately, it bounces off your force armor.
(1) Kibin: (Well, actually it did touch me. Nevermind.)
(2) GM: Kaylin?
(1) Kibin: (Was looking at flatfooted AC. x.x)_
** (3) Kaylin eyes the Big Red in the navel **
(3) Kaylin: Kaylin casts Prismatic Spray ( level 7, "Rays hit subjects with variety of effects." )
(3) Kaylin: (Mastery of shaping as needed)
(1) Kibin: (Poke of doom! :D)
(1) Kibin: (And don't forget to cast defensively.)
(1) Kibin: (Not that it matters, since you succeed automatically...)
(2) GM: So you're casting, while standing in his threatened area? Cool. AoO: [1d20+32] -> [19,32] = (51) for [2d6+8] -> [4,4,8] = (16)
(2) GM: Either way, Concentration check.
(3) Kaylin: (*doink* declare before casting...)
(3) Kaylin: Concentration Skill Check: [1d20+22] -> [16,22] = (38)
(1) Kibin: (Can't we go ahead and assume for all other casting that she's doing it defensively?)
(2) GM: That's a hit for 16 damage, but you passed the concentration check. SR penetration?
(3) Kaylin: SR: [1d20+25] -> [18,25] = (43)
(2) GM: That passes. Roll for effect.
(3) Kaylin: effect: [1d8] -> [7] = (7)
(3) Kaylin: (... not so useful...)
(3) Kaylin: (DC 28)
(1) Kibin: (Sent to another plane? Yes it's useful. Especially if sent to an upper plane.)
(2) GM: Oh, seven; a Will save: [1d20+18] -> [7,18] = (25)
(2) GM: And he vanishes from view.
(1) Kibin: (*does happy dance*)
(3) Kaylin: (hmm, I thought they could plane shift at will...)
(1) Kibin: (Nope.)
(2) GM: Some things can. Balors can't.
(3) Kaylin: (cool.)
(1) Kibin: (I don't suppose the vorpal longsword remains?)
(2) GM: No, it's attended. Would you want all your equipment left behind if someone hit you with, say, Plane Shift, and you failed your save?
(1) Kibin: (Nope.)
(1) Kibin: (Why can't you use greater teleport to teleport someone forcefully?)
(1) Kibin: (Plane shift, a level 7 spell, allows you to teleport someone to, say, the plane of fire.)
(1) Kibin: (So why can't you teleport someone to a volcano or the bottom of an ocean?)
(2) GM: Which reminds me.... [1d100] -> [97] = (97)
** (1) Kibin hmms, and flies up to see how many people are still calm and happy. **
** (3) Kaylin shivers and looks around **
(2) GM: Oh... that was a critical threat. Oh well, maybe next time.
(2) GM: Most people are still calm and happy... of those left alive, anyway. You count about a dozen bodies, and see twenty people still running screaming. There's several dozen still minding shop, happy as clams at high tide.
(2) GM: Jason: You cold?
(3) Kaylin: No, just quite disturbed...
** (1) Kibin hmmms. He flies over to Elorin, asking him if he can teleport the statue including the wing and any pieces over here.(Miracle with the 'no XP cost' clause. Elorin hasn't spent a lot of his spells I think.) **
(1) Kibin: (Why's Kaylin disturbed? O.o)
(2) GM: Between being eye-to-bellybutton with something that could have taken her head off, and standing around watching everyone be all fat and happy while a bloodbath was occuring? You tell me.
(1) Kibin: (Oh.)
(3) Kaylin: (There's about 20 headless corpses in the city,a balor just appeared right next to me and mashed me with a big sword, and that's the nth combat we've had to face today)
(2) GM: Jason: Think he'll be back?
(3) Kaylin: That depends on where I sent him.
(1) Kibin: (Out of curiosity, what plane was he sent to?)
whispering to GM, Water
(2) GM: You wouldn't know at this point.
(1) Kibin: (Meh.)
(2) GM: Elorin: Hmm? Oh, sure.
Elorin casts Miracle ( level 9, "Requests a deity's intercession" )
Elorin can cast Miracle 97 more times
%s Tried to cast %s but has used all of them for today,Please rest so I can cast more. % ( charNameL, name )
(2) GM: Elorin: I seem to need a bit of rest, first, though..... it has been a long day.
(1) Kibin: (Remember one thing where this level 20 group was fighting a tarrasque... The tarrasque swallowed wizard, the wizard cast prismatic sphere INSIDE. Tarrasque saved on all except the plane shifting, and got sent to Asemodous's private residence.
(1) Kibin: Meh. Shouldn't be too hard finding an inn in this place...)
(1) Kibin: (Asemodeous or whatever is one of the lords of the nine hells, I think.)
(3) Kaylin: An exceptionally long day...
(3) Kaylin: I wonder what that balor did to remove the cleric's effects on the people?
** (1) Kibin goes flying through the city looking down to find an inn. **
(2) GM: Jason looks up at the sky: And it's not even noon......
whispering to Kibin, You find one; a little scorched, but useable.
** (1) Kibin flies back down to the group. "There's an inn that's a little scorched but still usable." **
(3) Kaylin: (is there a knowledge/spellcraft check that could be done knowing that a Balor was able to do it?)
(1) Kibin: (Dispel magic, maybe?)
(2) GM: Spellcraft should tell you what might have worked, Knoweledge(The planes) for what he might have available.
(3) Kaylin: Knowledge: The Planes Skill Check: [1d20+21] -> [10,21] = (31)
** (3) Kaylin attempts to remember what abilities balors are famed for **
whispering to Kaylin, Probably a Greater Dispel Magic.
(3) Kaylin: Spellcraft Skill Check: [1d20+37] -> [4,37] = (41)
** (1) Kibin looks up. Probally too early, though... **
(3) Kaylin: Hmm... I wonder if we could duplicate that effect... *mumbles arcanely while thinking abut spell theory*
(1) Kibin: Well, it should be fairly quiet the rest of the day... I hope...
(2) GM: Jason: Wasn't there a third?
(3) Kaylin: If that third balor shows up I won't be able to be of much help.
(2) GM: Jason: Ah. Care for a nice, safe, Rope Trick?
(2) GM: Jason: Or do you have a Mansion by now?
(1) Kibin: Not really safe when you're decked out in extradimensional openings.
(2) GM: Jason: Details, details.......
(3) Kaylin: As Kibin says, we carry a lot of magical items that wouldn't play nicely with the rope trick.
(1) Kibin: Hmmm. Extradimensional openings when they're opened at least...
(1) Kibin: Wouldn't a portable hole just be a regular magic item not interfering with anything when unopened?
(1) Kibin: Or folded out?
(2) GM: Jason: Well, in the Inn it is, isinn't it?
(1) Kibin: Inn?
** (3) Kaylin streches her arms **
(1) Kibin: Oh, yeah.
(3) Kaylin: Yes, the inn sounds good.
** (1) Kibin walks to the inn, then, pausing every now and then for the group to follow him. **
(2) GM: So everyone goes to the Inn... seperate rooms, group rooms, what?
(3) Kaylin: (With a balor on the loose, I vote group room)
(1) Kibin: (How much is a seperate room?)
(1) Kibin: (Okay, group room then.)
(2) GM: A seperate room is 2 gp per room.
(1) Kibin: (Group room is fine.)
(2) GM: And Elorin fixes breakfast... after healing everyone up a might of the wear and tear of the day....
Elorin casts Mass Cure Light Wounds ( level 5, "Cures 1d8 damage +1/level for many creatures" )
Elorin can cast Mass Cure Light Wounds 98 more times
Elorin casts Level 5 Spell ( level 5, "Spell slot tracking device" )
Elorin can cast Level 5 Spell 2 more times
(2) GM: [1d8+18] -> [4,18] = (22)
(2) GM: [1d100] -> [16] = (16)
(2) GM: The rest period passes uneventfully.....
** (1) Kibin says to Elorin, "Okay, so now you can retrive the statue?" **
(2) GM: Elorin: No, but Kaylin might. It's not morning yet, just late evening.
** (1) Kibin hmmms. And then looks over to Kaylin. **
(3) Kaylin: "Well... I suppose so, given a little time to prepare some spells."
(2) GM: Jason: Oh, I'll go.
(2) GM: Jason calls over Winddancer, then teleports.
(1) Kibin: But you can't dimension door out of that area, I thought?
(3) Kaylin: Need help, or can you two handle it?
(2) GM: Dimension Door, Level 4: Teleports you short distance
(3) Kaylin: Now that the barriers are broken it should be fine.
(2) GM: A short while later, he returns... outside, as the room isn't big enough for a 12 foot tall statue with spread wings.
** (1) Kibin hops out the window(Think there's one), and hovers slowly back to the ground next to the statue. **
(1) Kibin: (The wing is still broken?0
(2) GM: Sure; you can have a windowed room if you like.
(2) GM: Yep. It's still spread, though.
(1) Kibin: (Did Jason retrive the wing?)
** (3) Kaylin camps out on the bed, flipping through her spellbook and writing little scribbles on a piece of paper **
(2) GM: Yes, they were close enough together that Winddancer could touch both pieces at the same time.
(1) Kibin: One statue of a pit fiend... now what to do with it.
(2) GM: Jason: Weren't we plannin on putting some pebbles into your portable hole, or something?
(1) Kibin: (*wonders what would happen if he ate the statue.*)
(2) GM: Jason: Who's got a mace?
(5) Eldon Quickfoot (enter): 12:49
** (1) Kibin slashes at the stone statue, seeing if he can do any damage to it. **
(3) Kaylin: (Heya Narf)
(5) Eldon Quickfoot: (Er, hello. Thought you were working on a building?)
(3) Kaylin: (that was last week :)
(2) GM: Different Saturday.
(1) Kibin: (Yeah.)
(2) GM: Every other week.
(5) Eldon Quickfoot: (Ah. I didn't catch that.)
(1) Kibin: [1d4+1] -> [2,1] = (3)
(1) Kibin: (Damage just for laughs.)
(1) Kibin: (wait, add 5 to that.)
(3) Kaylin: (brb - I need a cuppa tea. Kaylin's just preparing spells)
(2) GM: Stone has Hardness-8......
(1) Kibin: (No, add 4. :P)
(1) Kibin: (Ah, okay. Nevermind then.)
(2) GM: Kibin doesn't even scratch the rock.
** (1) Kibin has an idea! He takes out his portable hole, then takes out his adamantine shortsword. Then procedes to use it sort of like a saw, cutting off neat pieces. **
(2) GM: That works.
(1) Kibin: (Ignores any hardness under 20. :)
(2) GM: After a while, you have lots and lots of little pieces of stoned Pit Fiend.
(5) Eldon Quickfoot: (Hippie Pit Fiend? 'Duuude...This is really good weedy elf!')
(2) GM: Craft (Statuary) check?
(1) Kibin: Ruins any artistic value in it, but meh.
(1) Kibin: (Huh?)
(2) GM: (pun - Stoned)
(5) Eldon Quickfoot: (Stoned Pit Fiend?)
(1) Kibin: [1d20+2] -> [19,2] = (21)
(2) GM: The pieces are in whatever shape you like. Very artistic, today, if you want.
(1) Kibin: (Untrained craft check.)
** (5) Eldon Quickfoot watches Kibin with bemusement. **
** (1) Kibin makes a few miniature pitfiend figurines with it. **
(1) Kibin: Okay, so now we have a bunch of little pieces of pit fiend statue...
(1) Kibin: With a few miniature pit fiend statues...
(2) GM: Jason: Okay; now that it's in little itty bitty pieces....
(5) Eldon Quickfoot: "I suggest acid."
** (1) Kibin grabs a pit fiend figurine. "Mine! Besides, if it's killed, he can just be ressurected." **
(2) GM: Jason: There's lots of ways to get rid of them... Kaylin, what are you preparing today, anyway?
(5) Eldon Quickfoot: "That is a point."
(3) Kaylin: Oh, just my standard selection. I can leave some brainspace free if you need me to do something specific.
(2) GM: Jason: I was mostly thinking about dropping our little stoney friends off somewhere where nobody is liable to go looking.
** (1) Kibin asks Kaylin, "Doesn't your spellbook make it so you don't need to use up brainspace?" **
(1) Kibin: Giving them to the gnomes would still be good. And maybe selling a few figurines to them, heh.
(3) Kaylin: The spellbook is a repository of magical formulae. The brain is where they are assembled and used to create magical forces.
(1) Kibin: Ah.
(3) Kaylin: Jason, did you have any specific place in mind?
(2) GM: Jason: Oh, not really; there's lots of places that are hostile to visitors, but wouldn't bother stone too much.
(1) Kibin: (*coughpositiveenergyplane*)
(5) Eldon Quickfoot: "I suggest sending them to lots of places."
(1) Kibin: Why?
(1) Kibin: They only need one piece.
(3) Kaylin: I'll prepare some planar transportation spells then.
(1) Kibin: Put in only one plane, and harder to find.
(2) GM: Jason: So, what next?
(1) Kibin: Let Kaylin use her mystical magical skills to send the little chunks into planarville.
(5) Eldon Quickfoot: "Ah, right."
(2) GM: Kaylin? Your move.
** (3) Kaylin finishes up preparing spells **
(3) Kaylin: I was considering the Heroic Domains of Ysgard as a potential location to put the remnants of the statue. How does that sound to everyone?
** (1) Kibin asks Kaylin, "Why there?" **
(2) GM: Jason: Ah, somewhere good has won, and there are lots of guardians.... decent choice.
(2) GM: Jason: Besides, we've been there....
(3) Kaylin: Last time we were there they were receptive to us. Best not to accidentally irritate a plane.
** (1) Kibin shrugs. "Sounds good, you probally know more than me about it." **
(1) Kibin: (Noone even lives on the positive energy plane... too hazardous, moreso than the negative energy plane...)
(2) GM: (actually, there are denizens on the PEP; as there are on the NEP - it's just that those on who reside on the NEP tend not to live there.....)
** (3) Kaylin shepherds everyone together **
(1) Kibin: (Oh.)
** (1) Kibin says to Kaylin, "Thought you were just going to chuck them through a gate?" **
(2) GM: Jason hops into Winddancer, and lands on Kaylin's shoulder.
(5) Eldon Quickfoot: "Someone might get annoyed if we just drop it on them."
(3) Kaylin: "A gate works too, but it seems rather like littering to simply dump chunks of potentially hostile rock into someone else's home."
** (1) Kibin tosses the chunks into the portable hole along with the adamantine sword, being careful not to break the figurines. Then closes it, places the portable hole away, and gets ready to planeshift or whatever. **
** (3) Kaylin makes sure everybody is in a circle and stuff **
(3) Kaylin: Kaylin casts Plane Shift ( level 7, "Up to eight subjects travel to another plane." )
(2) GM: And after the spell is cast..... [1d100] -> [54] = (54)
(2) GM: You find yourselves in the middle of one of the massive battles of Ysgard.
(2) GM: Roll vs. Initiative.
(1) Kibin: Dex check: [1d20+3] -> [3,3] = (6)
(3) Kaylin: Dex check: [1d20+2] -> [14,2] = (16)
(5) Eldon Quickfoot: Initiative: [1d20+6] -> [6,6] = (12)
(2) GM: [1d20] -> [14] = (14)
(2) GM: Dex check: [1d20+5] -> [19,5] = (24)
** (1) Kibin mutters something about why can't planar travel be reliable. **
(2) GM: You hear a bunch of massed voices from the hundreds surrounding you: "Battle!"
(1) Kibin: Kaylin, please teleport us out of here.
(2) GM: Jason, Kaylin, Petitioners, Eldon, Kibin
(3) Kaylin: Stay tight...
(2) GM: Jason: Squak!
(2) GM: Kaylin?
(1) Kibin: Sorry Jason, Squak isn't the most descriptive word in Common.
(3) Kaylin: Kaylin casts Teleport ( level 5, "Instantly transports you anywhere." )
(2) GM: (currently possessing Winddancer... who can't speak).
(3) Kaylin: (let's get to that building thing that we were in last time)
(2) GM: Familiarity check?
(1) Kibin: (Raven familars can speak common.)
(3) Kaylin: [1d100] -> [91] = (91)
(3) Kaylin: (ack.)
(2) GM: As a Su abiltiy - which the posseser doesn't have - and it's not common so much as a single language of the character's choice that the character knows.
(1) Kibin: (So where we land?)
(1) Kibin: (Somewhere in the sky?)
(2) GM: Let's see... Seen Casually probably applies.... random direction [1d6] -> [1] = (1) distance [1d10*1d10] -> 20
(2) GM: You were.... [5d100] -> [27,93,11,6,29] = (166) miles off course...
(2) GM: [166*0.20] -> 33.2
(1) Kibin: (*imagines 166 miles in the air. O.o*)
(2) GM: So you end up ... ouch. 33.2 miles in the air.
(2) GM: You have a long ways to fall.
(5) Eldon Quickfoot: ('I'm a free falling, I'm a free...')
(3) Kaylin: (... what's the terminal velocity of a party of adventurers)
(2) GM: Roll vs. Initiative (vs. Gravity).
(2) GM: [1d20] -> [10] = (10)
(1) Kibin: Dex check: [1d20+3] -> [6,3] = (9)
(3) Kaylin: Dex check: [1d20+2] -> [12,2] = (14)
(5) Eldon Quickfoot: (200 miles an hour.)
(5) Eldon Quickfoot: (I think.)
** (1) Kibin says to Kaylin, "Smooth." **
(5) Eldon Quickfoot: [1d20+6] -> [2,6] = (8)
(2) GM: Kaylin gets to go before gravity does. Action?
(2) GM: Dex check: [1d20+5] -> [18,5] = (23)
(1) Kibin: (Lol. We're all just hanging in the air while talking?)
(2) GM: Depends on how long it takes her player to decide what she'll do.
(3) Kaylin: (can I still touch people?)
(2) GM: Nobody has moved yet. Although you will need to concentrate from the distraction.
(1) Kibin: (We're still touching from last teleport.)
(3) Kaylin: Kaylin casts Greater Teleport ( level 7, "Teleports without error." )
(3) Kaylin: Concentration Skill Check: [1d20+22] -> [7,22] = (29)
(2) GM: And you all land safely on the ground.
(3) Kaylin: (outside the building?)
(2) GM: Where you specified. So yes.
** (1) Kibin walks inside the building, or knocks on the door if it isn't open. **
(3) Kaylin: Aargh. Sorry about that.
(3) Kaylin: Teleport is a little unreliable that way...
(1) Kibin: When you use that first type of teleport, anyway...
(2) GM: The door is standing open; everyone's out at battle, so the hall is basically in clean up mode. Lots of little kids running around picking up trays and things.
** (1) Kibin asks one of the little kids, "Could you please lead us to someone in charge?" **
(2) GM: Little kid: Oh, visitors! Sure.....
(3) Kaylin (exit): 13:26
(2) GM: You follow the kid to an audience chamber..... where Kords throne sits empty, and a familiar, female angel sits at a desk at the throne's feet. It's a very big throne....
(2) GM: Umm.... am I still connected?
(1) Kibin: (Yup.)
(2) GM: Diagonostics say yes too. Hmm.... must be on Kaylin's end, then.
** (1) Kibin hmmms on seeing the angel. "Thought you died..." **
(2) GM: Angel: We got the hint after the bodies started pushing that boiling acid over into the main room.
(1) Kibin: Ah. You fell in the acid?
(2) GM: Angel: No, not I.... but I feel sorry for the one that led the charge. He's still technically alive.......
(1) Kibin: Oh. They reappear in a few months on their original plane.
(2) GM: Angel: They started showing up a few months in near the entryway we used.... but not those who don't die from normal wounds. They aren't dead yet......
(5) Eldon Quickfoot: (I thought that was 'in the maze'?)
(1) Kibin: (Not a maze! HYPERGRID!)
(1) Kibin: Huh?
(6) Kaylin (enter): 13:30
(2) GM: The Angel sighs: The stronger of us regenerate most wounds, save those inflicted by the vile of heart.
(6) Kaylin: (ah-hah. That's why nobody was talking. Lastline: Kibin knocking at the door)
(1) Kibin: Ah...
(1) Kibin: Um, Kaylin? Maybe you could send a message to the Enlightened one telling them to empty out the acid?
(2) GM: [Bad dice format] - [Sat Aug 12 13:23:25 2006] : ** (1) Kibin walks inside the building, or knocks on the door if it isn't open. **
[Bad dice format] - [Sat Aug 12 13:23:26 2006] : (3) Kaylin: Aargh. Sorry about that.

** (1) Kibin pokes Kaylin. **
(6) Kaylin: I could, except I don't have any Sending prepared today.
(6) Kaylin: Remind me to do that the next chance I get, though.
(1) Kibin: Okay then.
(1) Kibin: If you don't know, we have peace with those gnomes now...
(2) GM: Angel: They sent a ... representitive. Yes, they're staying locked up for now. Not sure how long it will last, though.
(2) GM: Angel: It was nearly as bad as the last time...... but that was long ago.
(2) GM: Angel: One such as yourself wouldn't have been there, though, so....
(5) Eldon Quickfoot: "I'm not too optimistic about the peace. But it is better than war, I guess."
(6) Kaylin: Last time... these gnomes have quite a history, don't they?
(1) Kibin: Um, no, only know about 10 years of history give or take a couple of years...
(2) GM: Angel: Yeah. Some humans sealed them up..... haven't been getting their dead since then, oddly. Still, it stopped their invasions that time... for a while.
(2) GM: Angel: And caused more trouble further down the line. Such is life. Still... a long period of peace helps. Much as everyone around here likes war....
(6) Kaylin: (wait, Kibin is ~10 years?)
(5) Eldon Quickfoot: "Could the barrier do that?"
(1) Kibin: (14 years to be specific.)
(2) GM: Anel: I wasn't involved in it's crafting.
(6) Kaylin: (young... ;)
(1) Kibin: (Kobolds mature when 6.)
(1) Kibin: (1d3 years for a rogue, then about 5-7 years to get to a high level.)
(6) Kaylin: Oh, we did come here for a reason...
(1) Kibin: Ah yes. Could you protect a bunch of chunks of rock and a few pit fiend figurines from a cleric?
(6) Kaylin: yesterday we turned a pit fiend to stone that was causing a lot of havoc in the Material Plane, and we were hoping you might have someplace safe to store the stone without letting evildoers reanimate it.
(2) GM: Angel: Ah. I suppose we could dump them under the battlefields somewhere... should keep them safe enough.
** (1) Kibin opens the portable hole, gets the chunks of rock out and the figurines making sure not to break the figurines, and then searches to make sure he didn't leave any pieces of stone in there. **
(2) GM: Search check?
(1) Kibin: [20+21] -> 41
(2) GM: You think you've gotten them all.
(1) Kibin: (gah, increase by two, didn't update this or something.)
(2) GM: The angel looks at the little figurines of the Pit Fiend.
(2) GM: Angel: Very.. umm.... lifelike.
(1) Kibin: Got bored and decided how artistic I could be. Heh.
(2) GM: Angel: Maybe hand some out to the children to play with....
** (6) Kaylin grins **
(6) Kaylin: Sounds like a fitting fate, considering the history of this fiend.
(2) GM: Angel: Yes... but who will win? The girls calling them dolls, or the boys calling them action figures?
(6) Kaylin: I fear that the answer lies concealed in the mists of time ahead.
** (1) Kibin goes ahead and sees what he has in there so far. He calls up to the angel, "Figurines, couldn't give them moving parts. Sorry." **
(2) GM: Angel: Ah, dolls, then.
** (1) Kibin hmmms. He asks, "Why don't people that can't fly get stuck in these?" **
(2) GM: The angel shrugs, grabs one side of the portable hole, and lifts it up, dumping Kibin out.
(2) GM: Angel: Most put them up on walls.
(2) GM: Angel: How else?
(2) GM: Okay.... router's working.....
** (6) Kaylin observes Kibin being dumped out of a bag **
** (1) Kibin falls out. Ow. **
(5) Eldon Quickfoot: (Nothing to say.)
(1) Kibin: That works... hmmm... thought it could only be on the ground...
(2) GM: Angel: No, any flat surface. Ground is just the most common. Occaionsally, someone stores a ladder in one.
(1) Kibin: (Not a bag. A hole.)
(1) Kibin: So you could, say, fly up above someone, fold it out on the ceiling, and have all the stuff in it fall on their head?)
(2) GM: Theoretically. They'd get fairly easy reflex save, though.
(1) Kibin: (That was IC.)
(2) GM: Angel: You could. It would usually be simple enough to avoid, though.
(2) GM: Okay, so it was an extra parenthesis at the end, not a missing one at the beginning.
(1) Kibin: Not if you have a bunch of rocks in it or something. Kind of like a miniature cavein.
** (1) Kibin folds the portable hole up and puts it away, rubbing his head. **
(2) GM: Angel: Cave ins normally hit a very wide area, with little or no warning. They'd be watching you spread out the bag on the cieling, and it would only really affect the stuff directly underneath.
(1) Kibin: Not really a bag, it's called a portable hole...
(1) Kibin: Anyway... that should be all of the pieces.
** (1) Kibin just sits there waiting to see if anyone else has anything else to do here. **
(6) Kaylin: Well. I think that's all I came to this plane for. Thank you for taking care of the problem.
(1) Kibin: So... we'll just planeshift back out now?
(2) GM: Angel: Shouldn't be too difficult.
(6) Kaylin: If nobody needs to do anything here, we might as well.
** (1) Kibin prepares for teleportage then. **
** (6) Kaylin herds everyone together once more **
(5) Eldon Quickfoot: ('Baah')
(6) Kaylin: Kaylin casts Plane Shift ( level 7, "Up to eight subjects travel to another plane." )
(2) GM: And you go where?
(6) Kaylin: (Material plane, back to the church with the cleric)
(2) GM: Spell doesn't specify, but mirroring is reasonable: [5d100] -> [53,10,45,32,91] = (231)
(2) GM: And you land 231 miles away.
(1) Kibin: (MIrroring?)
(6) Kaylin: (mirroring?)
(2) GM: (Plane Shift specifies how far off you land when you go somewhere from the material plane, and it specifies that all orther planes can be reached from the material. It doesn't specify how far off when going from a plane other than the material to the material, or going from a plane other than the material to a plane other than the material. Mirroring would be filing in the lacking aspects based on what's there, with the same basic setup.)
(1) Kibin: (Oh.)
(2) GM: And the terrain... [1d100] -> [64] = (64)
(2) GM: You land on top of a strangely warm mountain, that's smoking somewhat.
(6) Kaylin: (these are not coincidences... :P)
(5) Eldon Quickfoot: (Volcano...Great.)
** (1) Kibin looks up at where the smoke is coming from. "Move away from volcano please?" **
(2) GM: There aren't any nearby trees, but the land is rather blackened, and there's some nearby smouldering stumps.
(1) Kibin: (Wait. How hot is the ground?)
(6) Kaylin: We can try another teleport... I don't have any other Greater Teleports prepared...
(2) GM: It's not scorching even your delicate feet... but it is uncomfortably warm.
(1) Kibin: Let's try another teleport then.
(1) Kibin: And... maybe some place other than that church.
(6) Kaylin: Where to, then?
(1) Kibin: Probally should wait till they clean up the bodies.
(1) Kibin: Um. Someplace random away from here?
(6) Kaylin: All right. Clifftown fine with everyone?
** (1) Kibin shrugs. "Fine with me." **
(6) Kaylin: Clifftown it is...
(5) Eldon Quickfoot: (Was Eldon at Clifftown or was that my previous character?)
(6) Kaylin: (I think it was Eldon)
(1) Kibin: Search Skill Check: [1d20+23] -> [8,23] = (31)
(2) GM: I'm pretty sure he's been by, when chasing the Ghost at some point... Clifftown has been visited quite a few times.
(6) Kaylin: Kaylin casts Teleport ( level 5, "Instantly transports you anywhere." )
(1) Kibin: (No, Eldon was in the city after Eldon.)
(1) Kibin: (Clifftown I mean.)
(6) Kaylin: (Whichever :)
(1) Kibin: (In the city next to the arcane university.)
(6) Kaylin: [1d100] -> [49] = (49)
(1) Kibin: (Wonder if that person there made any progress. Hmmm.)
(2) GM: At any rate, you arrive safely in the fishing village on a cliff, by the sea.
(2) GM: There's about six very, very common faces in the crowd.... but at this point, about half of the populace has customized forms.
(2) GM: There's an unusally large safe in the blacksmith's shop.
(6) Kaylin: Looks like she's doing well for herself.
(2) GM: She's currenly pounding away on a small, bluish shield.
(1) Kibin: Yup...
(2) GM: Blacksmith: Ah, you've returned. Business is booming, of course.
(1) Kibin: I see.
** (1) Kibin hmmms. No clue what to do here. **
(6) Kaylin: Well... what shall we do now? Perhaps try to find that Cleric after preparing scrying spells tomorrow?
(1) Kibin: Isn't his god pretty much dead now?
(6) Kaylin: Probably, but we shouldn't leave the job incomplete.
(1) Kibin: Fine, rest then find cleric.
(2) GM: Blacksmith: Meh, stay at my place; should be warded well enough for your tastes. And it's the least I can do for those who brought me so much business.
(1) Kibin: Just next time we're fighting him if there's one, don't toss a fireball at me!
(6) Kaylin: You're very kind.
(6) Kaylin: Oh Kibin, you're so worried about fire.
(1) Kibin: Yeah, since fire HURTS. Hurts me more at least...
(2) GM: The night goes uneventfully; you pass a misty area going into the smith's house, but it fades from view as soon as you're past the threshhold. She seems to be quite a good cook....
whispering to Kaylin, but you do note that she also casts Prestidigiation in there somewhere.....
(2) GM: ...and the food is quite filling.
(2) GM: The next morning.....
(5) Eldon Quickfoot: ...Eldon thanks her for the hospitality.
** (1) Kibin thanks her too, then starts eating the hero's feast. Mmm, more food. **
(2) GM: She seems to be quite the gracious host, and does enjoy Elorin's feast as well.
** (6) Kaylin makes general conversation over breakfast **
(6) Kaylin: Aside from business being so good, how're things around this town?
(2) GM: Smith: Much calmer. There's always a few notices up for various errands, of course, but the seas are mostly safe, the fishing is good, and those who really need their full size have it.
** (1) Kibin asks the smith, "How much are you charging for custom restoratios?" **
(1) Kibin: (Restorations*)
(2) GM: Smith: What I think they can afford if they try, mostly. Depends on how much they need it for what they do. Most of those who want a particular face have the money for it.
(2) GM: Smith: Of course, those who are particularly annoying about things find they simple don't have that much.....
(1) Kibin: Ah.
(6) Kaylin: Always convenient being the one who can provide the services, isn't it?
(2) GM: Smith: Yep. Monopolies are fun! When you're running them.
(6) Kaylin: Thank you for your hospitality. If you'll excuse me, everyone, I need to go prepare spells for today.
(2) GM: back in a minute or two....
(1) Kibin: (Okay.)
(1) Kibin: (*waits*)
(5) Eldon Quickfoot: (Er...*Poke*?)
(2) GM: Phone call went a little longer than expected. Well, though.
(2) GM: Anyone decide on a course of action?
(1) Kibin: (Hmmm?)
** (1) Kibin goes walking through the city to see what's new in it. **
(1) Kibin: (Not really. I think we're going to look for the cleric, but I'll just look around while Kaylin is away/preparing spells.)
(2) GM: The city is mostly what it was; the furniture store is a blackened wreck, having been bunred to the ground due to too many people with bad memories wanting it gone.
(2) GM: There's a statue of the Smith in the town square.
** (5) Eldon Quickfoot goes looking for a short drink of something good. **
(2) GM: You find a tavern - with Ice! They have scotch, whisky, water, mead, milk, beer, wine, champaign, and several other drinks available.
** (1) Kibin hmmphs. No statue of him, who figured out how that sorcerer did it in the first place. **
(1) Kibin: (Ice?)
(5) Eldon Quickfoot: "Scotch, please."
(2) GM: (for cold drinks)
(1) Kibin: (Ah.)
(2) GM: Bartender: Right up..
** (1) Kibin goes see what the old furniture shop is now. **
(2) GM: The bartender, a fairly average looking middle aged man going slightly bald, quickly puts some ice in a glass, pours a liquid over it, and hands it to Eldon.
(2) GM: Bartender: Ah... I haven't seen you in here before; first one's on the house.
(5) Eldon Quickfoot: "Thanks."
(2) GM: Bartender: I find it actually helps business in the long run. This place is still here after thirty years of business, after all.
(5) Eldon Quickfoot: (Eldon will just be quietly drinking for a bit. Not going to get drunk, though.)
(1) Kibin: (Eldon can't get drunk.)
(2) GM: Not on a Heroe's Feast, anyway.
(2) GM: Or after, rather.
** (6) Kaylin wanders out of her spellbooking trance after about an hour **
(2) GM: Bah! Ey kant spel.
(2) GM: Jason: Ah, the lovely lady rouses herself. Did you enjoy your exercises?
(6) Kaylin: As always.
** (1) Kibin meets back up with Kaylin after a while. **
(5) Eldon Quickfoot: (Doesn't mean he knows that, though.)
(1) Kibin: (Yes he does.)
(2) GM: Eldon - listen check?
(1) Kibin: (Kaylin talked about not being able to get drunk on a heros feast.)
(2) GM: ... and Eldon's got a mind that would be unlikely to let go of anything of particular importance.
(1) Kibin: (Yeah.)
(1) Kibin: (I... just have good memory naturally.)
(5) Eldon Quickfoot: ]1d20]
(5) Eldon Quickfoot: [1d20] -> [13] = (13)
(5) Eldon Quickfoot: (In that case, he samples.)
(2) GM: Taking more than just the free drink, then? What are you planning on purchasing?
(1) Kibin: I'll go look for Eldon.
(5) Eldon Quickfoot: (I think one of each.)
** (1) Kibin searches through the city for Eldon at a brisk walk. **
(1) Kibin: Search Skill Check: [1d20+23] -> [6,23] = (29)
(2) GM: Seven different drinks of assorted values; call it 5 gp for the lot.
(2) GM: Most are tasty; the beer isn't bitter, the mead is very sweet, the champaign tickles your throat, and the wine goes down very smoothly. The whisky tingles slightly as it goes down your throat.
** (5) Eldon Quickfoot randomly orders until Kibin finds him. **
(2) GM: And Kibin finds Eldon without too much trouble at all.
** (1) Kibin says to Eldon, "Kaylin finished with her spell trance meditation thingie, and we're ready to go." **
** (5) Eldon Quickfoot pays, thanks the bartender and leaves. **
(2) GM: Bartender: Any time, pleasure doing business with you.
(1) Kibin: (Yup. That's what us people not too knowledgeble with magic calls spell preperation. Spell trace meditation thingie.)
(2) GM: Actually, it's Sorcerers who stand for 15 minutes concentrating; a Wizard is constantly paging through a spellbook, and very active. Kaylin's got, what, about 700 pages to go through in 60 minutes?
(6) Kaylin: (by now she'd have little bookmarks in it)
(1) Kibin: (Heh. Would be nice if wizards could just do spell preperation before an 8 hour rest period.)
(1) Kibin: (Read just before you go to sleep.)
(6) Kaylin: (talk about cram studying, though...)
(1) Kibin: (Not really.)
(2) GM: Yeah. But she's preparing in the neigborhood of 30 spells each day, with about 150 spell levels, so she's specifically reading 150 pages or so.....
(2) GM: In an hour.
(2) GM: That's with following instructions.
(2) GM: She's BUSY!
(1) Kibin: (And?)
(5) Eldon Quickfoot: (She's flipping1)
(5) Eldon Quickfoot: (!)
(1) Kibin: (Still trance meditation thingie. She's in a trance meditating on her spellbook. Or something.)
(6) Kaylin: (must be a trance to be able to flip that much)
(2) GM: Anyway.....
(2) GM: Elorin: So, are you Scrying, or am I Discerning?
(6) Kaylin: I havent had a chance to Scry in quite some time. Mind if I have a try at it?
(2) GM: Elorin: Go for it. Do remember, though, how difficult it can be to pin a Cleric down with such.
(6) Kaylin: Oh, it is. Good thing there's you as well then.
(6) Kaylin: Kaylin casts Scrying, Greater ( level 7, "Scrying lasts longer, casts quicker, no focus." )
** (1) Kibin lays down on the ground, looking in front of Kaylin waiting for cool image thingie. **
whispering to GM, [1d20+22] -> [1,22] = (23)
whispering to Kaylin, and you get an image of the cleric, in what appears to be a specially prepared laboratory, getting tended and... repaired? ... by a red-haired human in a black robe. Spellcraft check?
(6) Kaylin: Spellcraft Skill Check: [1d20+37] -> [18,37] = (55)
whispering to Kaylin, The cleric you've been fighting appears to be the result of a Simulacrum spell.......
(6) Kaylin: It seems that we've been fighting a simulacrum.
(1) Kibin: Oh.
(1) Kibin: That is?
(6) Kaylin: It's a spell that creates a duplicate of a create... an illusionary duplicate.
(2) GM: Spellcraft Skill Check: [1d20+22] -> [5,22] = (27)
(6) Kaylin: The 'cleric' is being repaired right now.
(1) Kibin: I see.
(2) GM: Jason: Not that illusonary; real enough, although only about half as strong as the original..... hmm.... that's not a good sign.
(1) Kibin: (Dude, we got our butt kicked by something half as strong as the original?)
(6) Kaylin: If the duplicate is only half as strong, I worry about a confrontation with the original.
(2) GM: Jason: You never know... the original could be dead already... you'd just need a pice of him to make the fake....
(6) Kaylin: That's true.
(2) GM: Jason: For that matter, the fake is in permanent thrall to the maker....... doesn't need to be doing anything like what the original would want.
(1) Kibin: So what happens if the maker is indisposed?
(2) GM: Jason: Nothing in particular. The fake is basically autonomous, but bound, forever, to follow orders.
(1) Kibin: Ah.
(5) Eldon Quickfoot: "Any way to unbind it?"
(6) Kaylin: I wonder how the human is exerting control over the simulacrum...
(1) Kibin: Human? What human?
(6) Kaylin: The maker. He's a red-haired human, wearing a black robe.
(6) Kaylin: In some kind of laboratory.
(1) Kibin: It would be nice if we could see him...
(1) Kibin: (*pokes Kaylin*)
(6) Kaylin: Hmm...
(2) GM: And you get an image of the cleric, in what appears to be a specially prepared laboratory, getting tended and... repaired? ... by a red-haired human in a black robe.
(5) Eldon Quickfoot: "How powerfull does the maker have to be?"
(2) GM: There's a lot of ice and ruby dust in the laboratory, that the red-haired human is working with... putting it into cuts, chanting over the wound, and moving on to the next.
(6) Kaylin: Fairly powerful... enough to qualify as an Archmage, would be my guess.
(1) Kibin: So lets teleport over there and take him out or something?
(6) Kaylin: That's fine by me.
** (1) Kibin prepares for teleport then. **
(6) Kaylin: Eldon? What say you?
(5) Eldon Quickfoot: "I would like to end this."
(6) Kaylin: Very well. Together then...
(1) Kibin: (What say you? Lol.)
(6) Kaylin: Kaylin casts Greater Teleport ( level 7, "Teleports without error." )
(6) Kaylin: (To the lab!)
(2) GM: And you find yourselves in a fairly cramped and cluttered area; there is a stone cieling, roughly hewn, almost directly overhead, lots of things to trip over on the floor, workbenches aplenty with stuff on them - snow, mostly.
(2) GM: How close do you want to appear?
(1) Kibin: (So that melee guys are in melee distance?)
(6) Kaylin: (Moderately close... aim for around 15 feet or so if there's a good open space in that area)
(1) Kibin: (Meh, not going to make it so I can 5 foot step and full sneak attack?)
(2) GM: There's enough space to land.... but that puts you in workbench territory, rather than the small open space the actual repair is being done in.
(6) Kaylin: (Workbenches are no good)
(2) GM: Looking across the room, you see the entire place seems to be surrounded by an undulating wall of blood. Will saves?
(6) Kaylin: Will save: [1d20+21] -> [18,21] = (39)
(6) Kaylin: Spellcraft Skill Check: [1d20+37] -> [6,37] = (43)
(1) Kibin: Will save: [1d20+17] -> [8,17] = (25)
whispering to Kaylin, the place is completely dark.
(1) Kibin: (Meh.)
whispering to Kibin, the place is very well lit.
(5) Eldon Quickfoot: [1d20+10] -> [18,10] = (28)
whispering to Eldon Quickfoot, the place is completely dark.
(1) Kibin (whispering): Okay...
(1) Kibin (whispering): What was that for? O.o
(2) GM: Will save: [1d20+19] -> [17,19] = (36)
whispering to Kibin, Amusing trick. You'll see eventuall.
(2) GM: The black robed, red-haired human spots you.
(1) Kibin (whispering): Shadow conjuration light?
(1) Kibin: Dex check: [1d20+3] -> [18,3] = (21)
(2) GM: Black Robe: Ah.... wasn't expecting you so soon. Oh well, happens. Enjoying your day? You caused quite a mess.
(1) Kibin: (Just a preemptive initiative check...)
(6) Kaylin: Sorry, we'll be more tidy next time.
(5) Eldon Quickfoot (whispering): Darkvision?
whispering to Eldon Quickfoot, works just fine.
(2) GM: Black Robe: Actually, I'm refferring to letting all the warmongers loose. Do you just hate peace or something? We were doing so well following The Master's commands....
(2) GM: Black Robe: So... any particular reason for your visit?
(6) Kaylin: We were trapped in there too...
(6) Kaylin: Mostly we were just following this simulacrum of yours..
(5) Eldon Quickfoot: "There is a difference between peace and tyrrany."
** (1) Kibin looks at the various lab equipment, keeping an eye and ears out in case the black robed guy begins to start fighting. **
(2) GM: Black Robe: Bah! That's what the platform is for. Sheesh. You pop into a prison uninvited, and expect someone to unlock the door for you on the way out. Mortals.
(6) Kaylin (whispering): When you say completely dark, is that a magical darkness or just an absence of light?
(2) GM: Black Robe: Well, I must follow orders. Not necessarily the way I'd like things to play out...
whispering to Kaylin, Absense of light.
(2) GM: Black Robe: But we obey.
(6) Kaylin: I don't suppose you could turn the lights on in here?
** (1) Kibin thinks for a moment. A simulacrum of a simulacrum... **
(1) Kibin: Um, it's perfectly lighted in here?
(2) GM: The black robed man chuckles: But they are on.
(6) Kaylin: Completely dark to me.
(6) Kaylin: Spellcraft Skill Check: [1d20+37] -> [20,37] = (57)
(6) Kaylin: (when all else fails... Spellcraft!)
** (1) Kibin hmmms. "That sounds like a shadow conjuration or something like that..." **
whispering to Kaylin, Shadow Evocation, used to emulate Continual Flame everywhere - non-damaging effect, so it skips the 20% working anyway clause; you beat the save, so you don't benefit from the non-damaging effect of the lighted area.
** (1) Kibin tries to wrap the logic around light made out of shadow material... **
(6) Kaylin: Sorry, my mind refuses to believe that your shadow lighting is real. Let me just make a little light here...
(2) GM: Black Robe: Ah, suit yourself, I suppose.
(6) Kaylin: Kaylin casts Light ( level 0, "Object shines like a torch." )
(6) Kaylin: (on my shield)
(1) Kibin: (Shield?)
(6) Kaylin: (close eyes to protect from the sudden light, too)
(2) GM: Mithral Buckler, if I remember right. 0% Arcane Spell failure, enchantable, 0 ACP.
(6) Kaylin: (+4, yeah)
** (1) Kibin hmmms. For being evil, they sure are peaceful. **
(2) GM: Black Robe: So, what are you here for? Has my companion been chasing you down or something?
(6) Kaylin: (evil does not mean violent... or desiring to fight against these odds...)
(1) Kibin: (Is the black robe still repairing?)
(5) Eldon Quickfoot: (BRB)
(2) GM: He hasn't stopped at his work. He's watching you, for certain, but it's clearly a very long process, and he'd rather not start over.
(6) Kaylin: We got into a bit of a fight with him, if you're referring to what you're repairing.
** (1) Kibin goes wandering around, looking at various labratory equipment, subtly getting closing trying to not make it look like he's doing so. **
(2) GM: Black Robe: Yeah, he mentioned it.... you invaded his office, out of the blue, and started trying to kill him. When he went into the peaceful solitude of the Prison, you followed, and tried to kill him again. So now we are where we are.
(6) Kaylin: Yes, we're just always in the wrong, aren't we.
(6) Kaylin: You are aware of what he's been doing in that town?
(1) Kibin: \
(2) GM: Black Robe: Stopping a war, yes. Okay, it leaves the townsfolk rather defenseless, but a shepherd guards the flock. If you hadn't hurt him, he would have been up there dealing with the threats that you let loose after we spent so much effort trapping them.
(1) Kibin: You mean like calling them, and telling them they can either work for them or stay imprisioned forever?
(2) GM: Oh, and Kibin - bluff check?
(1) Kibin: Bluff Skill Check: [1d20+19] -> [17,19] = (36)
(1) Kibin: (Woot.)
(6) Kaylin: They're hardly townsfolk now... just automatons...
(2) GM: Black Robe: Actually, he didn't Call them, nor did I; they had already been loose on this plane, for one reason or another. We just trapped them so they couldn't do any harm when they didn't want to be peaceful.
(5) Eldon Quickfoot: "You killed babies."
(1) Kibin: ("You killed babies" just doesn't seem very dramatic.
(5) Eldon Quickfoot: (Imagine it said they same way as 'You will die'.)
(2) GM: Black Robe: Only the ones that weren't wanted. Even then, they just go to Shanhara's courts. Would you prefer they grow up neglected by their parents? Unfed? Left to cry themselves to sleep?
(2) GM: Black Robe: We're very careful of how they leave this world.
(1) Kibin: It sure beats dying.
(5) Eldon Quickfoot: "It is there life and not yours to take."
(2) GM: Black Robe: I have memory of both situations. Their parents give them to me. Can't simply abandon them in the wilderness. But, I suppose we won't be able to discuss this rationally, will we?
(2) GM: Black Robe: Silly little things, fundamental assumptions.... can't be debated, really.
(1) Kibin: (Hmmm. Can a spellcaster make it so that someone automatically succeeds on the save of a spell?)
(2) GM: Limited Wish can force the next blow to be successful; it wouldn't be too out of line for Wish to make you Immune to the effects of the next saveable spell to hit you. Concrete proof nullifies illusions.
(2) GM: ...mostly...
(1) Kibin: (Concrete proof didn't shatter the illusion of the matrix.)
(6) Kaylin: You're right there. They can't be debated.
(1) Kibin: (Anyway... just thinking about something because of the "can't simply abandon them in the wilderness". Heh.)
(2) GM: Black Robe: So, as obviously you aren't going to budge, and obviously I'm not going to budge, how shall we settle this?
(1) Kibin: Preferably in a way that doesn't involve painful combat?
(2) GM: Black Robe: Ah, so you're willing to go away and leave us to our Work, then?
(1) Kibin: You could raise the children as priests.
(6) Kaylin: Your work is what we must object to, though.
(2) GM: Black Robe: We do, those we can support properly, which, granted, is far from the majority. Use them as messengers and things when they're young, raise them in the way of Shanhara as they get older. One was sent to you.
(2) GM: Black Robe: I belive one was sent to you on your second seeking.
(1) Kibin: Second seeking?
(6) Kaylin: I do seem to recall that.
** (1) Kibin doesn't remember it. Hmmm. **
(2) GM: Black Robe: Sorry... I sometimes have a little trouble with language drift. The second time you were seeking to slay my fellow servant.
(2) GM: Black Robe: Quiet little girl with a pad of paper?
(1) Kibin: Um, what?
(1) Kibin: Don't remember that...
(6) Kaylin: We're deviating from the point here.
(6) Kaylin: Neither of us want a violent solution, so how then shall we settle this?
(2) GM: Black Robe: It's been a few millenia since I leared Common. Some of the words have changed, and I can't always keep them straight.
(2) GM: Black Robe: Hard to say.... you sure you won't just leave and let us to our Work of Peace?
(5) Eldon Quickfoot: "Work of Tyrrany."
(1) Kibin: If peace involves killing people, then no. I won't accept people getting killed, even if it's to end their suffereing.
(1) Kibin: While some of your ideas are good... your execution in those ideas are lacking.
(2) GM: Black Robe: Well, I suppose there's little for it then. Such a waste.
(1) Kibin: (*feels like his character has a 6+1d20 for age*)
(2) GM: Roll for initiative.
(6) Kaylin: Dex check: [1d20+2] -> [12,2] = (14)
(2) GM: [1d20+6] -> [18,6] = (24)
(1) Kibin: (Already did way back and got a 21... your peace mongering keeps throwing me off. Meh.)
(2) GM: (You had a pretty good idea as to this set's modus operandi when you came.....)
(2) GM: Dex check: [1d20+5] -> [15,5] = (20)
(1) Kibin: (Well, yeah.)
(5) Eldon Quickfoot: Initiative: [1d20+6] -> [1,6] = (7)
(2) GM: [1d20+2] -> [2,2] = (4)
(1) Kibin: (Pass off peace and ending suffering as a way to get as many followers as you want to ascend to godhood along with regular sacrifices?
(1) Kibin: (Regular willing sacrifices?)
(2) GM: Black Robe, Kibin, Jason, Kaylin, Eldon, Cleric
(2) GM: The black-robed character steps away from Kibin and casts a spell.....
(2) GM: [1d4+1] -> [3,1] = (4)
(1) Kibin: (Noooooo negative levels!)
(1) Kibin: (Wait.)
whispering to Kaylin, Time Stop.
(2) GM: The Black-robed redhead vanishes from easy view.... and you all find yourselves locked in a barred forcecage.
(1) Kibin: (Oh, summons. Gah, need spellcraft ranks.)
(6) Kaylin: (Time Stop)
(2) GM: Kibin?
(1) Kibin: (Is the cleric operational?)
(2) GM: He seems to be moving... but he's outside the Forcecage.
(1) Kibin: (So?)
** (1) Kibin casts ray of frost at the cleric simulacrum. Sneak attack ray of frost of doom! Then moves behind Kaylin and the others. **
(2) GM: Attack and damage rolls?
(1) Kibin: [1d20+19] -> [11,19] = (30)
(1) Kibin: [1d3+9d6] -> [3,1,4,5,1,1,2,3,2,2] = (24)
(2) GM: The cleric melts into a puddle.
(1) Kibin: (Three ones, three 2's in that. Ouch.)
(6) Kaylin: (how does a freezing breath melt anything? :P)
(2) GM: (severly damaged, hadn't finished the repair ritual)
(2) GM: (ray of frost, and it's kina specified in the spell, so.....)
(1) Kibin: (Not freezing breath. A tiny ray of frost that would hardly kill a commoner.)
(6) Kaylin: (yeah, just seems... odd)
(1) Kibin: (It's more like destroying the shadow material that holds the snow together.)
(2) GM: Has a pretty decent chance of knocking a commoner-1 unconcious, however....
(1) Kibin: (Like destroying a shadow conjuration.)
(2) GM: Using your move?
(1) Kibin: (Yeah, scooting behind Kaylin and the others. Human meat shields are good.)
(1) Kibin: (Especially since they tend to have better saves than me.)
(6) Kaylin: (I'm ELVEN!)
(2) GM: From what threat? You can't see the Black Robe......
(1) Kibin: (Meh. Fancy meat shield then.)
whispering to Kibin, Not even with Blindsense......
(1) Kibin: (Hmmm. Do I sense the black robe with blindsense?)
(1) Kibin: (Ah, okay.)
(2) GM: Jason: Cage? Bah....
(1) Kibin: (How tight are the bars?)
(2) GM: Dimension Door, Level 4: Teleports you short distance
(2) GM: Jason, however, doesn't vanish.
(2) GM: Jason: What? Of course. Some kind of lock.....
(2) GM: Kaylin?
(6) Kaylin: Cage? Psh.
(6) Kaylin: Kaylin casts Disintegrate ( level 6, "Makes one creature or object vanish." )
(2) GM: And the barred Forcecage goes away.
(6) Kaylin: (on the forcecage)
(2) GM: Eldon?
(5) Eldon Quickfoot: (Attack the cage.)
(5) Eldon Quickfoot: (Oh, gone.)
(5) Eldon Quickfoot: (I've got See Invisible - Can I see the wizard?)
(2) GM: It's okay - you can't much hurt bars of foce anyway.
whispering to Eldon Quickfoot, Nope.
(1) Kibin: I don't suppose you could just cast a spell of death through scrying or something. That guy is gone already...
(2) GM: Eldon - taking any actions?
(5) Eldon Quickfoot: (Oh, right. Nothing I can do.)
(2) GM: You notice there aren't any support pillars visible; just the wall of blood, the various apparatus in the room, the cieling, and the floor.
(2) GM: So it's black robe's turn again.
(2) GM: One end of the cieling drops two feet, and bounces slightly.
(2) GM: Kibin?
(6) Kaylin: (was that a spell thing suitable for identifying?)
** (1) Kibin folds out his portable hole, and starts tossing the various apparatus into the portable hole. **
(1) Kibin: (Wait. How high is the ceiling? O.o)
(2) GM: Nothing identifable via spellcraft.... Knoweledge(Architecture and Engeneerin, Dungeoneering, or something else appropriet to structures)?
(6) Kaylin: Knowledge: Dungeoneering Skill Check: [1d20+16] -> [19,16] = (35)
(2) GM: About five feet. It was the far end that dipped. The thing stays straight, though, so you're now looking at about six inches less of cieling space where you're standing.
(1) Kibin: (How long will it take to remove the apparatus?)
whispering to Kaylin, it seems the cieling is held up by some form of rope support structure.... one less support now than a few moments agao.
(1) Kibin: (Wait.)
(1) Kibin: (Okay, can I veto that last part, and just start destroying stuff?)
(6) Kaylin: Kibin, stop that and find him! He's going to crush us!
(2) GM: It's a whole bunch of fairly random and arcane stuff, spread out over a wide area; it would probably take about five or ten minutes to pack everything up properly. Sure, you can start smashing things if you like.
(1) Kibin: (Is there any place of the room that my blind sense doesn't cover?)
whispering to Kibin, Nope.
(2) GM: The room is only about thirty or forty feet across, all told.
(2) GM: Circular, too.
** (1) Kibin says to Kaylin, "I would LIKE to find him, if he was anywhere in this room. He's not." Kibin starts breaking fragile glass things that would take too long to move, to hopefully stop that wizard/sorcerer from making more simulacrums. **
(2) GM: You make quite the mess; lots of broken glass all ove the floor, now.
(6) Kaylin: Then there must be an exit somewhere! He's bringing the roof supports down.
(1) Kibin: Through the blood, maybe?
(5) Eldon Quickfoot: "Something tells me going through a wall of blood would be bad."
(1) Kibin: For us, probally.
(2) GM: Jason: Umm... got any spells that might help?
(2) GM: Kaylin - your turn.
(6) Kaylin: Spellcraft on the wall of blood: [1d20+37] -> [2,37] = (39)
whispering to Kaylin, You're not sure what the blood itself is.... but it seems to be held by some form of constantly running Telekenisis - shouldn't impede movement too much, in and of itself, as it's focusing on keeping the liquid out.
** (6) Kaylin searches for a secret door **
(6) Kaylin: Don't go through the blood wall...
(6) Kaylin: Search Skill Check: [1d20+13] -> [14,13] = (27)
whispering to Kaylin, You don't find anything that looks like a door.
(2) GM: Eldon?
(1) Kibin: Yes, I know that.
(5) Eldon Quickfoot: (I go looking for anything invisible. Sword first.)
(1) Kibin: (What part of THERE IS NOTHING HERE do you not understand?)
(2) GM: Eldon makes a few swings through the air, not hitting anything.
(1) Kibin: Eldon, there's nothing there... anything here would have to be on the etheral plane for me to not know it's there.
(2) GM: You feel a vibration, and the cieling on the other end of the room hits the floor with a very loud thud, totally crushing benches, beakers, snow, ruby dust, and everything else on that side. Your head room is reduced to three feet. Reflex saves, everyone.
(2) GM: Reflex save: [1d20+14] -> [10,14] = (24)
(6) Kaylin: Reflex save: [1d20+13] -> [8,13] = (21)
(1) Kibin: Reflex save: [1d20+23] -> [11,23] = (34)
(2) GM: Jason gets hit by the cieling, and takes [5d6] -> [6,2,6,4,6] = (24) damage.
(1) Kibin: (But three feet is okay headroom for me...)
(2) GM: Kaylin also takes [5d6] -> [1,3,3,6,5] = (18) damage.
(1) Kibin: (Whoooo, go ghost touch ceilings!)
(5) Eldon Quickfoot: [1d20+14] -> [13,14] = (27)
(5) Eldon Quickfoot: "Teleportation?"
(1) Kibin: Yes. That would be good.
(6) Kaylin: Very.
** (1) Kibin joins up with the group and ready for teleport, smashing stuff on the way over there. **
(2) GM: Eldon has no problems - not being high enough for it to bother too much anyway, but he does find he can dodge out of the way fairly well.
** (1) Kibin hmmms. Wait. **
(1) Kibin: Um... do you have a telekinetic sphere prepared instead?
(6) Kaylin: No
(1) Kibin: Resilient sphere?
(6) Kaylin: No,
(1) Kibin: Anything to get out of here not involving teleportation?
(6) Kaylin: (I don't suppose a Crushing Hand could be adapted to hold up the ceiling?)
(2) GM: It can follow orders.
(2) GM: And it does have a very good strength score.....
(6) Kaylin: I could try a Hand...
(6) Kaylin: teleportation is the safest though.
(2) GM: Large, strength 35, treat as a quadruped....
(1) Kibin: Yes. But teleportation most likely won't work, I believe.
(6) Kaylin: if this doesn't work, it's been nice knowing you.
(5) Eldon Quickfoot: "Likewise."
(2) GM: Stagger around with double max....could theoretically support 4800 pounds.
(1) Kibin: There should still be one support left.
(2) GM: That was Kibin's turn, so Jason....
(2) GM: Detect Magic, level 0: Detects spells and magic items within 60 ft.
(2) GM: Jason starts concentrating
(2) GM: Jason: Where is it....
(2) GM: Kaylin?
(6) Kaylin: Kaylin casts Crushing Hand ( level 9, "Creates a disembodied magic hand that can interpose, push, or grapple one opponent." )
** (6) Kaylin orders the hand to hold up the ceiling **
(2) GM: It does it's best.
(2) GM: Eldon?
(2) GM: Taking any actions?
(5) Eldon Quickfoot: (Nope.)
(5) Eldon Quickfoot: (Well, getting ready for teleport, if we do that.)
(2) GM: Another vibration shakes the area...... the roof sways, and the Hand shakes mightily as it's brought to it's knuckles.... but you still have some headroom... such as it is, with a three foot cieling.
(2) GM: Kibin?
** (1) Kibin looks up at the ceiling just above his head. And remains ready for teleport if he was wrong. **
(2) GM: Jason: Yes, I know there's some very strong magic around here... I want to know WHERE it is... stupid slow spell.....
(2) GM: Kaylin?
(6) Kaylin: How's that going, Jason?
(2) GM: Oh, and that's one round off of the Crushing Hand.
(2) GM: Jason: Could use something faster. Got anything?
(6) Kaylin: No, sorry.
(6) Kaylin: Kaylin casts See Invisibility ( level 2, "Reveals invisible creatures or objects." )
(6) Kaylin: (done)
whispering to Kaylin, There's nothing invisible in the room, that you can see.
(2) GM: Eldon?
** (1) Kibin asks Kaylin, "Did you try to teleport out?" **
(6) Kaylin: No, just getting up See Invisibility in case we find something when we do get out.
(5) Eldon Quickfoot: (Nothing to do.)
(2) GM: The roof vibrates, and sways again... the Hand starts shaking rather violently.... but you retain your headroom, for now, such as it is, on hands and knees for the tall folk.
(2) GM: Kibin?
** (1) Kibin says to Kaylin, "Okay..." Kibin waits some more, tapping his claws on the floor while he does so. Do de do. **
(2) GM: Jason: I'm looking for the spell.... he obviously couldn't do anything to us directly....
(2) GM: Spellcraft Skill Check: [1d20+22] -> [15,22] = (37)
(2) GM: Jason: There! In the center of the room... of course.... is some abjouration.....
(2) GM: Kaylin?
(6) Kaylin: (Can I get any idea of what he's talking about?)
(2) GM: Spellcraft?
(6) Kaylin: Spellcraft Skill Check: [1d20+37] -> [20,37] = (57)
(1) Kibin: (Sounds like a sequester from the description.)
whispering to Kaylin, Abjourations stop things, especially other spells; the Abjouration school holds such things as Shield, Dimensional Lock, and Protection from Energy. It's the school of making other things not work. What are the aspects of the current problem?
(6) Kaylin (whispering): Ceiling supports aren't working... hmm
whispering to Kaylin, That would be one aspect.
(1) Kibin: (Sweet, you can use shadow evocation with sending.)
(6) Kaylin (whispering): Locating the human mage through visual or other means isn't functioning. :|
(2) GM: (Problem being, of course, that it would allow a save and spell resistance.....)
(6) Kaylin: Teleport?
(2) GM: Jason: Hoping for a Dispel.....
(2) GM: Jason: Tried Teleporting earlier.....
(6) Kaylin: Kaylin casts Greater Dispel Magic ( level 6, "1d20 + 20 dispel check to end spells." )
(2) GM: Dispel check?
(6) Kaylin: [1d20+19] -> [1,19] = (20)
(6) Kaylin: (....)
(2) GM: Eldon?
(2) GM: Right.
(1) Kibin: (What does a shadow planar binding do? Call creatures made of shadow or something?)
(2) GM: The cieling sways a little, this way and that; the Hand is pushed flat as the cieling drops a bit further. Reflex saves?
(6) Kaylin: Reflex save: [1d20+13] -> [2,13] = (15)
(1) Kibin: (Nevermind, wrong class.)
(1) Kibin: Reflex save: [1d20+23] -> [6,23] = (29)
(2) GM: Reflex save: [1d20+14] -> [2,14] = (16)
(2) GM: And Eldon?
(5) Eldon Quickfoot: [1d20+14] -> [7,14] = (21)
(2) GM: Kaylin - Sorry, it hits your head; take [5d6] -> [1,4,3,6,4] = (18) crushing.
(2) GM: As does Jason [5d6] -> [5,2,3,5,1] = (16) and Eldon [5d6] -> [1,4,5,5,1] = (16)
(2) GM: Kibin, however, avoids it for now.
(2) GM: Speaking of which... Kibin?
(6) Kaylin: (the ceiling above us is made of stone, right?)
(2) GM: Yes.
(1) Kibin: (Yeah?)
(1) Kibin: (Oh, my turn?)
(2) GM: Correct.
(1) Kibin: (Hmmm.)
(2) GM: Not that there's *much* to do.....
(6) Kaylin: (maybe try helping the hand push? can't hurt....)
(5) Eldon Quickfoot: (Disintegrate the cieling?)
** (1) Kibin decides to actually do something, and uses alternate form to turn into a bear and help the crushing hand keep up the ceiling with his mighty 19 strength. **
(1) Kibin: (Eldon, then the blood would start rushing in. Duh.)
(2) GM: Aid Another check?
(1) Kibin: [1d20+4] -> [6,4] = (10)
(2) GM: Jason: What else...... Oh, right....
(2) GM: Ghost Telekenesis: Lift Opponent: Standard Action, Concentration: Off Ground 14 rounds (if under 300 lbs, Will save DC 28), Wait: [1d4] -> [2] = (2)
(2) GM: Jason sees what he can do about helping support the cieling.....
(2) GM: [1d20+11] -> [15,11] = (26)
(2) GM: Kaylin?
(1) Kibin: (Oddly enough, a quadruplic monkey could help exactly how much I'm helping.)
(6) Kaylin: Kaylin casts Dispel Magic ( level 3, "Cancels magical spells and effects." )
(1) Kibin: (Aid another is weird.)
(6) Kaylin: (on that abjuration)
(6) Kaylin: [1d20+10] -> [14,10] = (24)
(1) Kibin: (We really need a high level sorcerer with dispel magic.)
(1) Kibin: (Right about now.)
(6) Kaylin: (doesn't Elorin have it?)
(1) Kibin: (...with a low caster level check?)
(6) Kaylin: (his CL is higher than mine)
(2) GM: At minimum caster level, that things got a DC of 26, as an 8th level spell. Would someone with murder on his mind use the minimum?
Elorin casts Greater Dispel Magic ( level 6, "As dispel magic, but up to +20 on check" )
Elorin can cast Greater Dispel Magic 98 more times
Elorin casts Level 5 Spell ( level 5, "Spell slot tracking device" )
Elorin can cast Level 5 Spell 3 more times
(2) GM: So he does.... and I believe he's 18th, with a caster level of 20, so...[1d20+20] -> [11,20] = (31)
(1) Kibin: (Actually 25 for a wizard I thought.)
(2) GM: Oh, caster elvel 19, not 20... drat.
(2) GM: Kaylin?
(2) GM: The hand, with all the help it's getting, manages to get back on it's knuckles.
(2) GM: And it's on round three or so of it's existence.
(2) GM: Which puts the cieling back at three feet.
(1) Kibin: (It has about 18 rounds of existence...)
** (6) Kaylin uses Shapechange to similarly go into a Bear and push up on the ceiling **
** (1) Kibin is cramped for once in his life... odd feeling. **
(2) GM: Strength check?
** (6) Kaylin starts thinking about strong creatures... **
(1) Kibin: (Why not a ghost with telekinesis?)
(6) Kaylin: [1d20+8] -> [6,8] = (14)
(2) GM: Eldon?
(1) Kibin: (Not that it matters though.)
(6) Kaylin: (I don't know about you, but I wouldn't be concentrating real great in this situation :)
** (1) Kibin looks over to Kaylin... which is stronger than he is now. Meh. **
(5) Eldon Quickfoot: (Not much he can do.)
** (5) Eldon Quickfoot pushes on the cieling. **
(5) Eldon Quickfoot: [1d20+2] -> [1,2] = (3)
(2) GM: The cieling is actually in reach for you..... unfortunately, all the benches, chairs, and tables are now rather shattered wrecks.....
(1) Kibin: (I think Eldon broke a tendon or something.)
(2) GM: Well... Eldon, Fort save?
(5) Eldon Quickfoot: [1d20+15] -> [18,15] = (33)
(2) GM: He's fine.
(1) Kibin: (Okay, now I'm glad I have miles between me and Eldon.)
(1) Kibin: (Or Narf.)
(5) Eldon Quickfoot: (???)
(1) Kibin: (Nevermind.)
(2) GM: The cieling sways a little, but remains where it is.
(2) GM: Kibin?
** (1) Kibin yawns, continuing to push on the ceiling. **
(2) GM: Eloring tries for another Dispel....
(2) GM: [1d20+19] -> [19,19] = (38)
Elorin casts Greater Dispel Magic ( level 6, "As dispel magic, but up to +20 on check" )
Elorin can cast Greater Dispel Magic 97 more times
Elorin casts Level 6 Spell ( level 6, "Spell slot tracking device" )
Elorin can cast Level 6 Spell 5 more times
(2) GM: Elorin: Felt somehting give... I think.....
(2) GM: Jason continues pressing up [1d20+11] -> [2,11] = (13)
(2) GM: Kaylin?
** (1) Kibin starts to say something, and just comes out as growls. Sounded sarcastic, though. **
** (6) Kaylin goes back into elven form and runs around with the Teleport Touch (tm) **
(6) Kaylin: Kaylin casts Teleport ( level 5, "Instantly transports you anywhere." )
(2) GM: Where you headed?
(6) Kaylin: By the Blacksmith's place in Clifftown
(6) Kaylin: (oops, OOC, sorry)
(2) GM: Okay. Targetting roll? Also, concentration check from the rather cramped environment.
(1) Kibin: (Hehe, now a bear standing on two legs with arms raised up into the air gets to teleport right in the middle of a crowded town.)
(6) Kaylin: Concentration Skill Check: [1d20+22] -> [8,22] = (30)
(6) Kaylin: [1d100] -> [33] = (33)
(2) GM: That'll pass. And that'll pass.
(2) GM: Incorporeal miss chance: [1d100] -> [100] = (100)
(2) GM: And everyone lands safely in front of the blacksmith's shop.
(6) Kaylin: That human is truly malicious...
** (1) Kibin goes back out of alternate form. "That was fun. For being peaceful, they sure do like blood..." **
(6) Kaylin: that was an excellent use of Time Stop in his first attack.
** (1) Kibin decides to just assume that he knows what Kaylin says and continue on with his life. **
(6) Kaylin: We
(6) Kaylin: have met the enemy now... I personally would like to suggest that we try to lure him out of wherever he is used to being.
(6) Kaylin: (oh, and I have to leave with the family for dinner, I just found out. Sorry guys)
(6) Kaylin: (so I can play until dinner break, basically.)
(5) Eldon Quickfoot: (Ok.)
(1) Kibin: (Then come back for a little more? :)
(2) GM: Honestly? I was waiting for you to think abouta a Beholder, and at-will Disintigrate to make a safe pocket....
(2) GM: Or Polymorph and critters with Burrow speeds.
(2) GM: Or regular disintigrates.
(2) GM: Or Arcane sight.
(2) GM: There were so many ways out of that......
(5) Eldon Quickfoot: (Us? Plan?)
(6) Kaylin: (I don't have Beholder abilities handy... and I'm nowhere near as intellectual as my character, plus no Arcane Sights...)
(2) GM: I must admit, though, I didn't think of holding the cieling up with a Crushing Hand. A Wall spell, sure....
(2) GM: Wall of Force, Wall of Iron, Wall of Stone....
(2) GM: You no, the standard combat-control set....
(2) GM: Anyway....
(1) Kibin: Or it could possibly be that the human was another simulacrum, made by the pit fiend.
(1) Kibin: (Meh, how about we stop with the GM goes for dinner?)
(2) GM: Jason: I hope not. If that's the fake, I don't want to mess with the original.
(1) Kibin: (Since Kaylin has to go.)
(1) Kibin: Except the original may not be evil.
(6) Kaylin: If the creator was the pit fiend,it wouldn't be able to continue to control the simulacrum.
(2) GM: Jason: Still.....
(1) Kibin: But the orders would still stand.
(1) Kibin: f
(1) Kibin: (Gah.)
(2) GM: (Keyboard causing typo's?)
(1) Kibin: (No, just testing sound.
(2) GM: Jason: So... what next? We seem to have the cleric, for now. No telling if he'll be replaced, mind....
(1) Kibin: Rest for a day?
(6) Kaylin: What interests me is how that human used no directly offensive magic against us.
(5) Eldon Quickfoot: "That would be war-mongering. Of course, killing us indirectly is perfectly acceptable."
(1) Kibin: Why>?
(2) GM: Jason: Couldn't. Not readily; Time Stop doesn't permit hurting people, they're in the wrong time zone.....
(2) GM: Jason: But a Dimensional Lock doesn't affect anyone directly, nor does a Forcecage..... and he was killing the cieling, not us.
(6) Kaylin: Difference in style... I would have preferred to use the Time Stop to protect myself and then fight rather than use indirect means, though I think Eldon is right...
(2) GM: Jason: Still..... that was kinda close.
(6) Kaylin: I wonder why they feel killing 'sacrifices' is acceptable, if they're against violence...
(5) Eldon Quickfoot: "Fanatics."
(5) Eldon Quickfoot: "Everything is acceptable for the 'Cause'."
(6) Kaylin: Humans.
(6) Kaylin: Well... that aside... rest?
(1) Kibin: Sure.
(6) Kaylin: He can't be too pleased with a laboratory gone... that would have been expensive to set up.
(2) GM: Jason: Um... Elorin? My heads a little caved in; anything you can do about that?
Elorin casts Harm ( level 6, "Deals 10 points/level damage to target" )
Elorin can cast Harm 98 more times
Elorin casts Level 6 Spell ( level 6, "Spell slot tracking device" )
Elorin can cast Level 6 Spell 4 more times
** (1) Kibin hmmms, asking Jason, "How did the ceiling affect you?" **
(2) GM: Elorin: Yeah, no problem.
(2) GM: Jason: Someone wanted their fortress to be particularly secure, I imagine.
(1) Kibin: So you couldn't just phase through the ceiling or whatever. Hmmm.
(6) Kaylin: Well... rest and deliberation seems the best course.
(2) GM: Jason: Mostly? I'm just curious how long that took to set up...... he had a cavern, supported by... what, four, five ropes? That was well on it's way to Crushing a Crushing Hand.
(1) Kibin: That was the entire CAVERN falling on us?
(2) GM: Jason: An island, at least. The cieling was enchanted or something.... so that I couldn't escape that way, either.
(2) GM: Jason: If nothing else, it was at least enough material to make a cieling for a twenty or thirty foot room....
(1) Kibin: Oh. An island isn't too bad.
** (1) Kibin looks up in the sky at the sun. **
(2) GM: Jason: Yeah, you didn't hit your head.....
(6) Kaylin: Some people spend far too much time in the service of strange causes...
(1) Kibin: Heh, that's the advantage of being small?
(5) Eldon Quickfoot: "And saving worlds is normal?"
(6) Kaylin: Well... hopefully we save more than we kill...
(1) Kibin: Well you didn't do much of anything to help all those other people turned into furniture and moved away from this town...
(6) Kaylin: I'm up for tracking them down and turning them back if you have a good way of finding them...
(2) GM: The smith looks up from her work:
(1) Kibin: Actually someone is already doing that. Don't know how good they're doing at it, though.
(2) GM: Smith: Actually, I tracked most of them down. Only one is currently unaccounted for. A merchant that's particularly mobile wanted his own, unique, blanket. I'll probably have him in a few months; he always winters in the same town.
(1) Kibin: Huh. Okay.
** (1) Kibin makes mental note. Patent ideas he thinks of. **
(2) GM: Smith: Can't let my neighbors suffer for too long. I'm greedy, not heartless.
(1) Kibin: Yeah...
(2) GM: Jason: So... rest up, see if we can't find that Black robed redhead, and maybe get him outside of his carefully controlled situations?
(6) Kaylin: Sounds excellent.
(1) Kibin: Sure.
(2) GM: Smith: Yeah... although my husband is home tonight, so you'll need to try the inn...... he's been away for a little while....
(6) Kaylin: Certainly, we wouldn't want to impose upon your generosity.
(1) Kibin: Ah, okay... see you.
(1) Kibin: (Amazing what you can read out of ...)
(1) Kibin: (Hmmm, how stable are the clouds?)
(2) GM: The clouds that are up are nice enough; it's slightly overcast.
** (1) Kibin goes rest on the clouds, then, not having any inn bills whatsoever and literally sleeping on air. **
(2) GM: Where's everyone else sleeping?
(6) Kaylin: (group room at the inn if there is one)
** (5) Eldon Quickfoot finds an inn. **
(2) GM: There is one available, yes.
(1) Kibin (whispering): Heh, silver dragons don't need to pay a lot of money for expensive feather matresses. :)
(2) GM: The inkeeper takes you money and shows you to a room.
(2) GM: So everyone's resting, then? Cool. Will saves, all around.
(1) Kibin: Will save: [1d20+17] -> [2,17] = (19)
(6) Kaylin: Will save: [1d20+21] -> [4,21] = (25)
(5) Eldon Quickfoot: [1d20+10] -> [15,10] = (25)
(2) GM: Will save: [1d20+19] -> [17,19] = (36)
(2) GM: Spellcraft Skill Check: [1d20+22] -> [12,22] = (34)
(2) GM: In the middle of the night, Jason wakes up everyone in the room....
(2) GM: Jason: Someone tried to scry me...... the stronger, faster version.
(6) Kaylin: Mrmph?
** (5) Eldon Quickfoot gets into a battle-ready position. **
** (6) Kaylin slides out of her trance more **
** (1) Kibin snores happily on his cloud. **
whispering to Kibin, Oh, and something comes into your Blindsense range, waking you; two somethings, actually. Large critters. Roll for initiative.
(1) Kibin (whispering): [1d20+3] -> [6,3] = (9)
(6) Kaylin: So.... almost certainly that human from yesterday...
whispering to Kibin, [1d20+7] -> [4,7] = (11), [1d20+7] -> [19,7] = (26)
(2) GM: Jason: More than likely.
whispering to Kibin, Picture; the first flies in fast and tries to grapple you...... Touch: [1d20+24] -> [9,24] = (33), hold: [1d20+29] -> [19,29] = (48)
whispering to Kibin, You opposing that?
(1) Kibin (whispering): Which one?
(5) Eldon Quickfoot: "The only question is, will we be attacked, or is he simply trying to throw us off balance?"
(1) Kibin (whispering): Hmmm... no. Too high.
whispering to Kibin, Big black winged.
(6) Kaylin: I somehow doubt he'll attack, especially if one of us managed to throw off the Scrying...
(1) Kibin (whispering): Ah. Probally not very manuverable then, good...
whispering to Kibin, Yeah, but you're currently grappling him.....
(6) Kaylin: Although, if he has allies that we haven't seen yet, that could prove dangerous.
(1) Kibin (whispering): Yeah...)
whispering to Kibin, the second one charges in and Power Attacks with his Spiked Chain: [1d20+20] -> [7,20] = (27) for [2d6+10+15] -> [3,2,10,15] = (30) and make a Fort save, if it hits.
(1) Kibin (whispering): Bounces off.
whispering to Kibin, Which it doesn't.
whispering to Kibin, And it's your turn.
(1) Kibin (whispering): [1d20+21] -> [20,21] = (41)
(1) Kibin (whispering): Attempt to escape.
whispering to Kibin, grapple [1d20+29] -> [3,29] = (32)
whispering to Kibin, And you get out.
(1) Kibin (whispering): Okay, so I then freefall down for about 150 feet or so.
whispering to Kibin, Both threaten you; Previous grappler: [1d20+25] -> [10,25] = (35) for [2d6+15] -> [4,1,15] = (20); second Power attacker: [1d20+20] -> [15,20] = (35) for [2d6+25] -> [3,5,25] = (33); Fort save for each hit.
(1) Kibin (whispering): Both bounce off. Heh.
whispering to Kibin, And it's beast 1's turn again; he Charges you, straight down, to resume the grapple.
whispering to Kibin, Touch: [1d20+26] -> [14,26] = (40), hold: [1d20+29] -> [18,29] = (47)
(1) Kibin (whispering): Grappled again...
(5) Eldon Quickfoot: (*Poke*?)
whispering to Kibin, And the second re-charges, and power attacks.
(6) Kaylin: (I guess nobody wants to say anything?)
whispering to Kibin, Power attacker: [1d20+20] -> [10,20] = (30) for [2d6+25] -> [6,2,25] = (33); Fort save if hit.
(1) Kibin: (I can't.)
(1) Kibin (whispering): Miss.
whispering to Kibin, You're having a lucky set of rolls, you know.... and it's your turn.
(1) Kibin (whispering): [1d20+21] -> [15,21] = (36)
(1) Kibin (whispering): Attempt to escape again...
(2) GM: Jason: By the way... do you think he scried out all of us?
whispering to Kibin, Hold: [1d20+29] -> [2,29] = (31)
whispering to Kibin, And you're out. Beast: Slippry little dragonling......
(1) Kibin (whispering): I move up to stand inside the cloud, using it as total concealment.
whispering to Kibin, You dove 150 feet the first time; cloud is way off. And suffer two AoO's trying to get back up.
(6) Kaylin: Seems like he would have... if we had been sleeping seperately he probably would have used the opportunity to attack... Kibin! Kibin is up on a cloud somewhere...
whispering to Kibin, Both threaten you; Previous grappler: [1d20+25] -> [9,25] = (34) for [2d6+15] -> [2,4,15] = (21); second Power attacker: [1d20+20] -> [20,20] = (40) for [2d6+25] -> [5,3,25] = (33); Fort save for each hit.
(1) Kibin (whispering): Miss and a hit...
whispering to Kibin, And a crit threat!
(1) Kibin (whispering): [1d20+17] -> [7,17] = (24)
whispering to Kibin, Power attacker: [1d20+20] -> [5,20] = (25) for [2d6+25] -> [3,2,25] = (30)
(1) Kibin (whispering): Okay...
whispering to Kibin, Fortunately, not confirmed. Unfortunately, DC 27. Stunned; [1d4] -> [3] = (3) rounds, "A stunned creature drops everything held, can’t take actions, takes a –2 penalty to AC, and loses his Dexterity bonus to AC (if any)."
(5) Eldon Quickfoot: "Scry Kibin?"
(1) Kibin (whispering): Wheeee freefall again...
whispering to Kibin, which means, while free, you're also free-falling....... that's, what, 400 feet a round, give or take? You'll hit the ground in two.
(1) Kibin (whispering): I read somewhere it's 150 the first round, then 300 feet each round after.
whispering to Kibin, Ah, so you'll hit the ground in round three, then. Still, ouch.
(1) Kibin (whispering): Rules of the game somewhere... or maybe in the SRD under tripping flying creatures...
(5) Eldon Quickfoot: (POKE?)\
(1) Kibin: (Ahem, any time you'd like to hurry up would be nice...)
whispering to Kibin, Probably the FAQ, actually; not listed in Core, but will come up occasionally. The two beasts, seeing as you're falling, charge after you for the first round, and power attack....
whispering to Kibin, Power attacker: [1d20+22] -> [11,22] = (33) for [2d6+25] -> [1,6,25] = (32)
whispering to Kibin, Power attacker: [1d20+22] -> [13,22] = (35) for [2d6+25] -> [4,5,25] = (34)
(1) Kibin (whispering): Bounces off.
(1) Kibin (whispering): That... does't.
whispering to Kibin, So take 34 more damage; and make another Fort save.
(1) Kibin: Fortitude save: [1d20+17] -> [7,17] = (24)
(2) GM: Jason: Sounds like a plan.
(1) Kibin (whispering): Another failure. :P
whispering to Kibin, Another failure. The remaining three rounds on the original (your turn hasn't come back around yet) or the [1d4] -> [4] = (4) from this one.
(6) Kaylin: I don't have any Scryings prepared...
(6) Kaylin: Pity he's silver colored... it'd be hard to spot him against a cloud
whispering to Kibin, You fall on your turn; down 150 feet, and 3 rounds on your Stunned. Another 500 feet to the ground.
(1) Kibin (whispering): *watches the ground below him come up, with it's pointy buildings and stuff.*
whispering to Kibin, The beasts Fireball you, Reflex DC 19 each: [10d6*1.5] -> 43.5, [10d6*1.5] -> 24.0
(6) Kaylin: well... do we have any ideas other than looking for him?
(1) Kibin: Reflex save: [1d20+23] -> [19,23] = (42)
(1) Kibin (whispering): [1d20+23] -> [7,23] = (30)
whispering to Kibin, Both successes; Evasion's nice to have, isn't it?
(5) Eldon Quickfoot: "Fly spell?"
(1) Kibin (whispering): Yup. Would even succeed if I was tied to a chair and utterly helpless.
(2) GM: Jason: Meh, I'll step outside.
(2) GM: Jason: Out! Now!
(1) Kibin (whispering): Considering that being helpless is considered as having a dexterity of 0.
** (5) Eldon Quickfoot goes out. **
whispering to Kibin, And you fall another 300 feet; the beasts Fireball you again: [10d6*1.5] -> 49.5, [10d6*1.5] -> 51.0
(1) Kibin (whispering): [1d20+21] -> [11,21] = (32)
whispering to Kibin, another 200 feet to the ground.....
(1) Kibin: (Would practical jokes be considered lawful good?)
(2) GM: You see Kibin Plummeting to his doom, getting shot with fireballs by two beasts way far above him.
(2) GM: (Chaotic Neutral).
(2) GM: He's about 200 feet up, but falling fast. Roll for initiative.
(1) Kibin: (Meh.)
(6) Kaylin: Dex check: [1d20+2] -> [10,2] = (12)
(5) Eldon Quickfoot: Init: [1d20+6] -> [17,6] = (23)
(1) Kibin: (What about carefully planned practical jokes that are harmless?)
(6) Kaylin: (erm, is Jason going to roll for init?)
(2) GM: Dex check: [1d20+5] -> [19,5] = (24)
(2) GM: Beast 1, Jason, Eldon, Kaylin, Beast 2, Kibin
(1) Kibin: (Yay I go last in the initiative order...)
(1) Kibin: (Never thought I would be glad for that to happen. Lol.)
(2) GM: Beast 1 fireballs, not Kibin, but the party: [10d6] -> [5,5,2,6,2,6,4,6,2,2] = (40), reflex half. He's about 600 feet up.
(2) GM: Reflex save: [1d20+14] -> [7,14] = (21)
(6) Kaylin: Reflex save: [1d20+13] -> [11,13] = (24)
(2) GM: Incorporeal miss chance: 50 or less misses: [1d100] -> [96] = (96)
(2) GM: Kaylin saves, and takes 20 damage.
(2) GM: As does Jason.
(2) GM: Eldon? Reflex?
** (1) Kibin considers actually buying that amulet of non-detection... **
(5) Eldon Quickfoot: [1d20+14] -> [20,14] = (34)
(2) GM: Eldon saves, and takes 20 Fire damage.
(5) Eldon Quickfoot: (Sorry, for some reason I'm nearly asleep.)
(2) GM: Jason tries to catch Kibin.
(2) GM: Ghost Telekenesis: Manuvers: Standard Action, Concentration: Combat Manuvers (Disarm, Trip, Grapple (Pin), Bull Rush) 14 rounds; +14 for Base Attack, +Cha Mod (11) for dex/str due to method), Wait: [1d4] -> [1] = (1)
(2) GM: Touch: [1d20+25] -> [6,25] = (31), hold: [1d20+25] -> [2,25] = (27)
(1) Kibin: (Succeeds against touch AC. Yay.)
(2) GM: You're touch AC is hopefully rather low..... care to oppose the grapple?
(1) Kibin: (Nope. I wouldn't oppose the grapple even if it was one of the demons.)
(1) Kibin: (Or devils. Whatever.)
(2) GM: Yeah... 20d6 averages 70 points of damage......
(2) GM: Eldon?
(2) GM: Pinging Eldon.
(5) Eldon Quickfoot: (Oh, right. I try to shoot one of the monsters.)
(5) Eldon Quickfoot: Shortbow: [1d20+26] -> [9,26] = (35), [1d20+21] -> [8,21] = (29), [1d20+16] -> [6,16] = (22), [1d20+11] -> [8,11] = (19), Damage: [1d4+2d6+2+5] -> [4,6,4,2,5] = (21), [1d4+2d6+2+5] -> [4,4,2,2,5] = (17), [1d4+2d6+2+5] -> [2,6,4,2,5] = (19), [1d4+2d6+2+5] -> [3,1,2,2,5] = (13)
(5) Eldon Quickfoot: (Gonna get some chocolate milk.)
(2) GM: AC 35... but 600 feet is how many range increments? 10. At your Maximimum range. -20 for the distance...... AC 35..... we're in nat-20 territory. No hits.
(2) GM: Kaylin?
(6) Kaylin: (I presume we're in an open space?)
(1) Kibin: (So am I hovering 200 feet above the ground?)
(2) GM: Good room; it's got a balcony.
(2) GM: Yep, you're being held.
(1) Kibin: (Ah. So Jason is indisposed or else I drop to my doom.)
(6) Kaylin: Kaylin casts Freezing Sphere ( level 6, "A frigid globe of cold energy deals 1d6/level (15d6 max)." )
(2) GM: You can zap away all you like, nothing in the way - primarily areal combat.
(6) Kaylin: (on the beast that hasn't done nything yet)
(2) GM: Was that the area verson or the touch attack version?
(6) Kaylin: (area)
(2) GM: Reflex: [1d20+16] -> [6,16] = (22)
(2) GM: Which, with your Int, is a failure. Roll for damage.
(6) Kaylin: [15d6] -> [2,3,3,1,3,2,6,4,6,5,5,3,5,4,1] = (53)
(2) GM: Ten points of resistance.....
** (6) Kaylin moves inside the room **
(2) GM: Beast 2 is still standing, and Fireballs the balcony.... at a point where it Spreads into the room. [10d6] -> [3,5,4,5,3,5,2,3,2,1] = (33) reflex DC 19 half.
(2) GM: Reflex save: [1d20+14] -> [15,14] = (29)
(2) GM: Jason succeeds, and takes half damage.
(2) GM: Concetration Skill Check: [1d20+28] -> [13,28] = (41)
(2) GM: and manages to maintain his concentration.
(5) Eldon Quickfoot: Ref: [1d20+14] -> [3,14] = (17)
(2) GM: Failure; full damage, 33 points taken by Eldon.
(2) GM: Kaylin?
(2) GM: You're at +2 for the cover of it having to wrap around a corner, but you're still in the area. Spreads can be mean.
(6) Kaylin: Reflex save: [1d20+13] -> [4,13] = (17)
(6) Kaylin: (oops, sorry)
(6) Kaylin: (Thought it was my turn)
(2) GM: And if you didn't include the +2, that makes it - exactly - so 16 damage.
(2) GM: You cast and then you moved; that's standard and move, no?
(6) Kaylin: (yes)
(2) GM: Kibin's turn; still stunned, but down to two rounds on it.
(2) GM: Beast 1, out of fireballs, runs, straight down.... putting him at 200 feet away.
(2) GM: Jason maintains his concentration, and tries to move the grapple: [1d20+25] -> [17,25] = (42)
(2) GM: Opposed check? Needed for the distance.
(1) Kibin: (Willshaper! Sweet class, that I want to take. Causes non-lethal damage to himself in order to cast spells, regenerating at one point per class level per hour.)
(1) Kibin: (I choose to take a natural 1.)
(1) Kibin: (If possible.)
(1) Kibin: (Or not at all.)
(5) Eldon Quickfoot: (I came up with something like that, only it wasn't non-lethal damage and it didn't regenerate.)
(2) GM: Okay. So you move 20 feet down, safely. Now at 180.
(1) Kibin: (It can't be regenerated by any other means.)
(1) Kibin: (Perfectly balanced, I think.)
(2) GM: And it's Eldon's turn.
** (1) Kibin hopes that Jason keeps a hold of him... **
(5) Eldon Quickfoot: Shortbow: [1d20+26] -> [14,26] = (40), [1d20+21] -> [18,21] = (39), [1d20+16] -> [8,16] = (24), [1d20+11] -> [1,11] = (12), Damage: [1d4+2d6+2+5] -> [4,1,2,2,5] = (14), [1d4+2d6+2+5] -> [3,4,1,2,5] = (15), [1d4+2d6+2+5] -> [3,3,2,2,5] = (15), [1d4+2d6+2+5] -> [4,3,2,2,5] = (16)
(1) Kibin: (Well. The wording of the class seems to imply that you can cast a hypothetical spell level way above what a caster of your level would have, at the cost of endurance.)
(5) Eldon Quickfoot: (At whichever is closer.)
(2) GM: Only at -6 this time.......
(2) GM: Lost Dex to AC due to Running.....
(1) Kibin: (Wait, nevermind. Can't increase the caster level beyond the class level.)
(1) Kibin: (Huh, but metamagic feats do apply to caster level... that's interesting.)
(2) GM: So AC 28; 34 with the penalties involved; first two hit, 29 damage, what arrows are you using, and what are the alignment on your bow?
(5) Eldon Quickfoot: (Holy bow, steel arrows)
(2) GM: DR applies, then...
(2) GM: Kaylin?
(5) Eldon Quickfoot: (Hey, I have an immovable rod. Wonder if that could have helped hold up the cieling?)
(1) Kibin: (...your wisdom is lacking.)
(2) GM: (Weight was enough that, while it may have helped, wouldn't have stopped it)
(6) Kaylin: (There is a monster about 100 feet away, right?)
(5) Eldon Quickfoot: (Yeah, but there would have been one more thing holding it up.)
(1) Kibin: (NUKE THEM TO PIECES! Maybe with a nice wierd.)
(2) GM: nearest is 200 feet up still....but you're under cover in the room, and can't quite see that.
** (6) Kaylin moves back out onto the balcony to take aim **
(6) Kaylin: Kaylin casts Disintegrate, Empowered ( level 8, "Makes one creature or object vanish." )
(2) GM: Touch attack?
(6) Kaylin: (at the 200 foot one)
(2) GM: And SR penetration?
(6) Kaylin: Ranged Touch Attack Roll: [1d20+8] -> [6,8] = (14) ===> Damage: [0+0] -> 0
(6) Kaylin: Ranged Touch Attack Roll: [1d20+3] -> [4,3] = (7) ===> Damage: [0+0] -> 0
(6) Kaylin: [1d20+25] -> [1,25] = (26)
(2) GM: That will hit, but the spell shatters, doing nothing.
(2) GM: The far beast vanishes... only to appear aminds the party.
(2) GM: Kibin - still stunned, next round is your last round under this, though.
(2) GM: The nearby stops running and Charges Kaylin.....
(2) GM: They seem to be healing up.....
(2) GM: [1d20+27] -> [17,27] = (44) for [2d6+15] -> [4,6,15] = (25), and a Fort save if it hits.
(6) Kaylin: Fortitude save: [1d20+17] -> [8,17] = (25)
(2) GM: DC 27. Stunned for [1d4] -> [3] = (3) rounds. lose dex to AC, drop anything you happen to be holding, and take a -2 to AC penalty. Also, no taking actions.
(6) Kaylin: (Did Elorin heal us before we went to rest?)
(2) GM: Umm... yes.
(2) GM: Of course he did. Mass Heal, all around.
(2) GM: It's something he'd do.
(2) GM: Jason's turn... and he lowers Kibin again, another 20 feet, putting him at 160 in the air.
(2) GM: Eldon?
(2) GM: The beast is still in the air, about 20 feet away ... which is the reach on that spiked chain he's holding.
(2) GM: The other is in the midst of the party, a mere five-foot step away.
(5) Eldon Quickfoot: (Went to get something.)
(5) Eldon Quickfoot: (I attack the one on the ground.)
(5) Eldon Quickfoot: Rapier: [1d20+26] -> [15,26] = (41), [1d20+21] -> [2,21] = (23), [1d20+16] -> [12,16] = (28), [1d20+11] -> [15,11] = (26), Damage: [1d4+2d6+2d6+2+8+5] -> [1,6,1,4,4,2,8,5] = (31), [1d4+2d6+2d6+2+8+5] -> [3,5,2,2,3,2,8,5] = (30), [1d4+2d6+2d6+2+8+5] -> [1,1,5,3,3,2,8,5] = (28), [1d4+2d6+2d6+2+8+5] -> [1,1,2,3,1,2,8,5] = (23)
(2) GM: Got Quickdraw?
(2) GM: Also, weapon enchantments and material?
(5) Eldon Quickfoot: (Yep.)
(5) Eldon Quickfoot: (Eldon puts a +5 on it; Holy, Ghost Touch.)
(2) GM: Material?
(2) GM: Steel? AC 35, flanked; so first hits, for 31 damage.... which doesn't seem to do as much as it should. You do make quite the cut in it's leg, though.
(5) Eldon Quickfoot: (Steel.)
(2) GM: Kaylin?
(6) Kaylin: (stunned)
(2) GM: Right.
(2) GM: Beast 2 takes a full attack, and accepts the fact that he stalls and falls 20 feet [2d6] -> [4,3] = (7) ... which doesn't seem to hurt him at all.
(6) Kaylin: (Hey, uhm, I have to go now :|)
(1) Kibin: (Okay... stop after this combat?)
(5) Eldon Quickfoot: (Sure. I'm barely staying awake.)
(6) Kaylin: (Do you already have a kaylin-node?)
(2) GM: Full attack: [1d20+25] -> [4,25] = (29), [1d20+20] -> [10,20] = (30), [1d20+15] -> [17,15] = (32) for [2d6+15] -> [4,5,15] = (24), [2d6+15] -> [1,2,15] = (18), [2d6+15] -> [5,6,15] = (26); bite: [1d20+22] -> [14,22] = (36) for [2d8+5] -> [6,3,5] = (14); and tail: [1d20+22] -> [1,22] = (23) for [2d6+5] -> [1,3,5] = (9)
(2) GM: Ignoring Kaylin, she's down at the moment - starting with Eldon.
(2) GM: AC?
(5) Eldon Quickfoot: (35, 37 with dodge bonuses.)
(6) Kaylin: ('k, see you on the forums. G'nigh' everyone)
(6) Kaylin: Disconnecting from server...
(6) Kaylin (exit): 19:09
(2) GM: but flanked.... the bite hits, for 14 damage.
(2) GM: Nothing else does, though.
(2) GM: Kibin is on his last round of stunned....
(2) GM: And it's Beast 1's turn... who also goes with a full attack at that pesky little tank.
(2) GM: Full attack: [1d20+25] -> [17,25] = (42), [1d20+20] -> [10,20] = (30), [1d20+15] -> [16,15] = (31) for [2d6+15] -> [4,2,15] = (21), [2d6+15] -> [6,2,15] = (23), [2d6+15] -> [1,6,15] = (22); bite: [1d20+22] -> [16,22] = (38) for [2d8+5] -> [7,4,5] = (16); and tail: [1d20+22] -> [20,22] = (42) for [2d6+5] -> [1,1,5] = (7)
(2) GM: Potential crit on the tail; [1d20+22] -> [12,22] = (34) for [2d6+5] -> [5,2,5] = (12)
(2) GM: Crit confirms... I think... Eldon - Fort save.
(5) Eldon Quickfoot: (Nope. AC is higher.)
(2) GM: Well, still need the Fort save for the Spiked Chain.
(5) Eldon Quickfoot: [1d20+15] -> [10,15] = (25)
(2) GM: take [21+7] -> 28 damage.
(2) GM: y's making their DC 27 Fort saves today... Stunned, [1d4] -> [4] = (4) rounds, -2 AC, no dex to AC, drop everything held.
(2) GM: Nobody's... oh well.
(5) Eldon Quickfoot: "Some healing is starting to look nice."
(2) GM: And as that happened first, the crit did succeed.
(1) Kibin: (I have a 50/50 chance to.)
(1) Kibin: (Haha, I have a better fortitude save than the party tank. Lol.)
(2) GM: So an additional 12 damage from the tail critical. Ouch.
(2) GM: Jason continues dropping Kibin..... now at 140 feet.
(5) Eldon Quickfoot: (Since when is Eldon a tank?)
(2) GM: Eldon's stunned....
(5) Eldon Quickfoot: (Scrapper, maybe. Not a tank.)
(2) GM: Kaylin's stunned...
(1) Kibin: (Since he's the guy who signed on into the fighter position.)
(1) Kibin: (*gets the feeling he's the best tank in the group...*)
(5) Eldon Quickfoot: (...Er, no. He didn't.)
(2) GM: Beast 2 has a field day with Power Attack:
(5) Eldon Quickfoot: (A tank is a damage shield. Eldon is not a damage shield.)
(2) GM: Full attack: [1d20+15] -> [9,15] = (24), [1d20+10] -> [16,10] = (26), [1d20+5] -> [3,5] = (8) for [2d6+35] -> [4,4,35] = (43), [2d6+35] -> [4,6,35] = (45), [2d6+35] -> [1,5,35] = (41); bite: [1d20+12] -> [9,12] = (21) for [2d8+15] -> [8,3,15] = (26); and tail: [1d20+12] -> [4,12] = (16) for [2d6+15] -> [2,1,15] = (18)
(1) Kibin: (So what is exactly preventing the casters from getting pummled?)
(5) Eldon Quickfoot: (The monsters' lack of strategy?)
(1) Kibin: (Ah.)
(2) GM: Kaylin is working with an AC of 26 at the moment...... so one Chain for 45 damage, and she needs to make another Fort save.
(2) GM: Fortitude save: [1d20+17] -> [10,17] = (27)
(5) Eldon Quickfoot: (Munchkin monsters.)
(2) GM: Which she passes!
(2) GM: Kibin - you've recovered.
** (1) Kibin blinks. Whooo, still alive! Then tries to wriggle out of Jason's grip. **
(2) GM: He doesn't oppose, and the phantom force simply vanishes with no troubles.
(2) GM: free action to escape.
(2) GM: You may chage, although only Jason threatens, and you'd have to go through two threatened areas to take advantage of it.
** (1) Kibin flies so that the two demon/devil thingies are just in range of his breath, and unleases a paralyzing breath on the two. Which doesn't require going near and getting hurt. **
(2) GM: What's the range on that? Ah, you only ENTER the threatened area.....
(1) Kibin: (20 feet... meh.)
(2) GM: Fort save: [1d20+16] -> [19,16] = (35)
(2) GM: Fort save: [1d20+16] -> [16,16] = (32)
(1) Kibin: (Oh, yeah, it's leaving a threatened area.)
(2) GM: Ah, dinner.
(1) Kibin: (Dang too high. :(
(1) Kibin: [1d4] -> [2] = (2)
(1) Kibin: Crud, gotta go then.
(1) Kibin has sent you a tree node...
(1) Kibin: (eh, updated character sheet, at 52 HP.)
(1) Kibin: (Make the thing before last OOC. x.x)
** (1) Kibin found the F4 macro key **
(1) Kibin: Ooo, shiney button...
(1) Kibin (exit): 19:23
(5) Eldon Quickfoot: (We going to break for the day?)
(5) Eldon Quickfoot: (Hello?)
(5) Eldon Quickfoot: (Anyway, I'm about ready to fall asleep and nobodies here or saying anything, so bye.
(5) Eldon Quickfoot: Disconnecting from server...
(5) Eldon Quickfoot (exit): 19:33
