Welcome to Jack Simth's temporary server!
I put this up just for a short gaming session on Saturday, and stop it after.
Session is schedualed for 10 AM Pacific Standard Time.

[Sat Oct 07 09:51:17 2006] : (2) Elorin (enter): 09:51
[Sat Oct 07 09:51:23 2006] : (1) GM: Morning.
[Sat Oct 07 09:51:31 2006] : (2) Elorin: afternoon
[Sat Oct 07 09:51:57 2006] : (2) Elorin: I'm fairly certain I haven't added the xp from the last session my character was present yet, and that bumps him to level 19
[Sat Oct 07 09:52:08 2006] : (1) GM: Fun.
[Sat Oct 07 09:52:13 2006] : (2) Elorin: hp: [1d8+3] -> [5,3] = (8)
[Sat Oct 07 09:52:44 2006] : (2) Elorin: not that level 19 gets me very much
[Sat Oct 07 09:53:03 2006] : (2) Elorin: hp, +1 BAB, and one 8th and 9th level spell per day
[Sat Oct 07 09:53:10 2006] : (2) Elorin: and skill points
[Sat Oct 07 09:53:35 2006] : (1) GM: But no new spells known. Interesting.....
[Sat Oct 07 09:54:52 2006] : (2) Elorin: spells known for Favored Soul never progress on odd numbered levels except for level 1 spells
[Sat Oct 07 09:55:10 2006] : (2) Elorin: which max out at level 7
[Sat Oct 07 09:55:25 2006] : (3) Kaylin (enter): 09:55
[Sat Oct 07 09:55:30 2006] : (1) GM: Morning.

[Sat Oct 07 10:21:06 2006] : (1) GM: Hmm.... anyone else using the Keepalive option?
[Sat Oct 07 10:21:30 2006] : (4) Kaylin: I don't know
[Sat Oct 07 10:22:32 2006] : (4) Kaylin: I don't think I am unless it's using a different name
[Sat Oct 07 10:22:34 2006] : (1) GM: It's listed as "heartbeat" under settings - useful for times where you want to still be online but you're not saying anything - keeps the server from forgetting your IP address.
[Sat Oct 07 10:22:56 2006] : (4) Kaylin: it was off, I just turned it on
[Sat Oct 07 10:23:56 2006] : (5) Dreadnaught (enter): 10:23
[Sat Oct 07 10:24:09 2006] : (5) Dreadnaught: wabbit season already?
[Sat Oct 07 10:24:33 2006] : (1) GM: I suppose it might be duck season... or was that duck seasoning? I can never remember....
[Sat Oct 07 10:24:56 2006] : (1) GM: Maybe duck sauce? Hmm...
[Sat Oct 07 10:25:14 2006] : (5) Dreadnaught: I want duck sauce on my wabbit stew... -_-
[Sat Oct 07 10:25:33 2006] : ** (5) Dreadnaught licks lips at the thought of a nice stew. **
[Sat Oct 07 10:27:59 2006] : (5) Dreadnaught: any games goin on any time soon?
[Sat Oct 07 10:28:18 2006] : (1) GM: Waiting for a few delinquint arriavals.
[Sat Oct 07 10:28:28 2006] : (5) Dreadnaught: cool, can I join in?
[Sat Oct 07 10:28:55 2006] : (1) GM: Perhaps; got, oh, a 17th level or so mostly-Core character handy?
[Sat Oct 07 10:28:56 2006] : (5) Dreadnaught: I have a level 7 artificer and a level 1 (ECL 3) ninja.
[Sat Oct 07 10:29:19 2006] : (5) Dreadnaught: I can whip up a level 17 artificer if you want.
[Sat Oct 07 10:30:15 2006] : (1) GM: Biggest problem being that I'm not overly familiar with the class or it's abilities. Could be interesting, though.
[Sat Oct 07 10:30:29 2006] : (5) Dreadnaught: hmm...gimem a sec
[Sat Oct 07 10:30:29 2006] : (6) Elorin (enter): 10:30
[Sat Oct 07 10:30:47 2006] : (1) GM: Elorin, by any chance do you have the heartbeat option set?
[Sat Oct 07 10:31:20 2006] : (5) Dreadnaught: check it out at http://eberroncamp.tripod.com/id14.html
[Sat Oct 07 10:31:30 2006] : (5) Dreadnaught: Artificer
[Sat Oct 07 10:32:18 2006] : (5) Dreadnaught: there's actualyl a few things that were arratad in there, though. If you want I can post them as well.
[Sat Oct 07 10:33:41 2006] : (6) Elorin: heartbeat option?
[Sat Oct 07 10:34:16 2006] : (7) No Name (enter): 10:34
[Sat Oct 07 10:34:18 2006] : (5) Dreadnaught: OpenRPG > Settings > second to last row=Heartbeak. Set to 1.
[Sat Oct 07 10:34:29 2006] : (1) GM: OpenRPG/Settings/Heartbeat - basically pings the server at regular intervals so that it doesn't drop your IP if it doesn't hear anything from you for a particuar length of time.
[Sat Oct 07 10:34:54 2006] : (5) Dreadnaught: yup, very nifty setting.
[Sat Oct 07 10:35:26 2006] : (6) Elorin: ah
[Sat Oct 07 10:35:28 2006] : (7) Kibin: Had to reinstall the computer again, and was kind of delayed in getting openRPG up. Setting it up again now, on the good side I should have the problem fixed of my computer corrupting files randomly.
[Sat Oct 07 10:35:33 2006] : (6) Elorin: now I do
[Sat Oct 07 10:35:42 2006] : (5) Dreadnaught: cool
[Sat Oct 07 10:36:11 2006] : (1) GM: Always fun.
[Sat Oct 07 10:36:17 2006] : (5) Dreadnaught: so yeah, there are a few things that WOTC erratad for the artificer. Mostly just small things like saving throws for the infusions.
[Sat Oct 07 10:36:25 2006] : (1) GM: Think Katsuro's awake yet?
[Sat Oct 07 10:36:32 2006] : (1) GM: Fair enough.
[Sat Oct 07 10:37:00 2006] : (7) Kibin: So can you send me my sheet again? x.x
[Sat Oct 07 10:37:07 2006] : (7) Kibin: Got corrupted, apparently...
[Sat Oct 07 10:37:24 2006] : (5) Dreadnaught: oh, one that might metter is that artificers get craft wand at 6th level, not 7th.
[Sat Oct 07 10:37:27 2006] : (1) GM: Sounds like your computer was infected....
[Sat Oct 07 10:37:45 2006] : (7) Kibin: Actually, it was a windows install disk with a few errors in it. x.x
[Sat Oct 07 10:37:56 2006] : (5) Dreadnaught: and metamagic spell trigger at 7th, not 6th.
[Sat Oct 07 10:39:06 2006] : (7) Kibin: A few of the system files on the Windows XP disk got corrupted, since the disk is about 5 or so years old and probally from a few scratches, I installed XP from that disk... and poof files started getting corrupted. New XP disk now though, so yay.
[Sat Oct 07 10:39:36 2006] : (7) Kibin: Good thing my sheet is online now instead of an html file, though. Heh.
[Sat Oct 07 10:39:44 2006] : (5) Dreadnaught: hehe
[Sat Oct 07 10:40:20 2006] : (1) GM: Well, 35 minutes past schedual.....
[Sat Oct 07 10:40:44 2006] : (5) Dreadnaught: so can I use an artificer or am I to stick with core classes?
[Sat Oct 07 10:40:50 2006] : (1) GM: Should work.
[Sat Oct 07 10:40:56 2006] : (5) Dreadnaught: alright, I'll brb
[Sat Oct 07 10:41:13 2006] : (5) Dreadnaught: what's the campaign name?
[Sat Oct 07 10:41:34 2006] : (7) Kibin: I have tthe complete series on my computer too, which I think includes artificer.
[Sat Oct 07 10:42:15 2006] : (1) GM: You know, I never specifically named it..... hmm. Just call it Jack Simth's, for now, I suppose.
[Sat Oct 07 10:42:25 2006] : (5) Dreadnaught: alright.
[Sat Oct 07 10:42:52 2006] : (5) Dreadnaught: what's the starting gold?
[Sat Oct 07 10:42:59 2006] : (5) Dreadnaught: and any other info that might come in handy
[Sat Oct 07 10:43:42 2006] : (1) GM: Call it standard 17th - actually, go with 18th; everyone's graduated to 18th by this point, and the standing rule is "as lowest existing"
[Sat Oct 07 10:43:43 2006] : (6) Elorin: No, the Artificer is not in the Completes

[Sat Oct 07 11:05:32 2006] : (5) Elorin (enter): 11:05
[Sat Oct 07 11:05:36 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < or produce flame? >
[Sat Oct 07 11:06:20 2006] : (2) GM: A little something that makes it painful to hit you? Like Fire Shield?
[Sat Oct 07 11:07:00 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < does that increase the damage i'd do while touching someone else, though? and if so, would it stack with produce flames? >
[Sat Oct 07 11:07:49 2006] : (6) Katsuro: (Who's the new player?)
[Sat Oct 07 11:07:54 2006] : (2) GM: (No, that one just causes people to attack you to take damage)
[Sat Oct 07 11:08:04 2006] : (2) GM: (An artificer who wandered in)
[Sat Oct 07 11:08:05 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < lol just a friendly player lookin to play some dnd. >
[Sat Oct 07 11:08:14 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Either fire or cold damage, and you can't make a touch attack with it.)
[Sat Oct 07 11:08:38 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < well, I'm not going to be relying on being attacked all that often, though... >
[Sat Oct 07 11:08:44 2006] : (5) Elorin: (55 hp and 9 AC, you won't survive long if anything actually attacks you in this campaign)
[Sat Oct 07 11:08:54 2006] : (6) Katsuro: (Ah.)
[Sat Oct 07 11:09:06 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < don't worry, my ass is covered ;) >
[Sat Oct 07 11:09:26 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Two sneak attacks and you're down. :P
[Sat Oct 07 11:09:28 2006] : whispering to Me'hive, Let's see... an artificer might follow up on some old refferences to an ancient formation of magic imbued into a silver scribing on granite, right?
[Sat Oct 07 11:09:47 2006] : (4) Kaylin: (Don't mind Kibin, he just likes plotting to kill people :)
[Sat Oct 07 11:09:53 2006] : (3) Me'hive (whispering): but of course :)
[Sat Oct 07 11:10:21 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Nah, I'm lawful good, I don't plot to kill people. Except in the off chance my alignment is reversed and I become chaotic evil.)
[Sat Oct 07 11:10:22 2006] : (2) GM: (Have fun getting past the Displaced Mirror Images and the always-on energy resistences and SR....)
[Sat Oct 07 11:10:35 2006] : (2) GM: (Just guessing, mind....)
[Sat Oct 07 11:10:48 2006] : (2) GM:

[Sat Oct 07 11:10:49 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < hehe >
[Sat Oct 07 11:11:10 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Breath weapon takes care of mirror images, then sneak attacks go bpast the energy resistances and SR easily>)
[Sat Oct 07 11:11:48 2006] : (2) GM: When we last left our heroes, they were busily examining the pillars, after having excavated a segment of the silver bars with intricate runes making connections to the five pillars.....
[Sat Oct 07 11:11:50 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < you might wanna take a look at Brilliant Energy Weapons. They'll bypass armor and their enhancement bonuses, making it so that your sneak attack only has to hit an AC of 10. >
[Sat Oct 07 11:11:52 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Oh, wait, reacting normally to area effeects. Hmmm.)
[Sat Oct 07 11:12:03 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Yeah... but I don't exactly use weapons.)
[Sat Oct 07 11:12:13 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < ah. what do you use? >
[Sat Oct 07 11:12:19 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < just punch them in the face? >
[Sat Oct 07 11:12:21 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Claws and bite.)
[Sat Oct 07 11:12:46 2006] : (2) GM: Claws. By a curious set of circumstances, he's been fairly permanently turned into a wyrmling silver dragon. After a few incidents with Reincarnate.
[Sat Oct 07 11:13:03 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < lol >
[Sat Oct 07 11:13:32 2006] : (6) Katsuro: (Er, I though we excavatted between the patterns, not at them?)
[Sat Oct 07 11:13:42 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Happy that Elorin now has level 9 spells and true ressurection.)
[Sat Oct 07 11:14:02 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < yes, that'll come in hadny ;) >
[Sat Oct 07 11:14:03 2006] : (5) Elorin: (I'm still catching up going through the logs since the last session I was actually here for)
[Sat Oct 07 11:14:26 2006] : (5) Elorin: (btw, did we ever actually spend Eldon's 150k from the gnomes that he refused to use himself?)
[Sat Oct 07 11:14:58 2006] : (5) Elorin: (that could provide for 6 True Res components)
[Sat Oct 07 11:15:02 2006] : (5) Elorin: (as one option)
[Sat Oct 07 11:15:17 2006] : (2) GM: (got the dirt off them, anyway, and looking at the granite they're embedded into) Anyway, as the cloaked ghost, silver wyrmling, winged elf, white-robed elf, and the out-of-place human examine their find, someone comes walking up, one who truely appreciates the time and effort that had to have been put into such a construction....
[Sat Oct 07 11:15:32 2006] : (2) GM: (Given away properly in character, and duly rewarded)
[Sat Oct 07 11:15:57 2006] : whispering to Me'hive, And that's your cue for introductions, BTW
[Sat Oct 07 11:16:01 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < gah, I'll be back in about 20 minutes. >
[Sat Oct 07 11:16:13 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < maid's gotta clean my room =/ >
[Sat Oct 07 11:16:31 2006] : (2) GM: Handy.
[Sat Oct 07 11:16:53 2006] : (2) GM: Well, Me'Hive can walk in later.
[Sat Oct 07 11:17:10 2006] : (2) GM: Anyway.....
[Sat Oct 07 11:17:13 2006] : (4) Kaylin: (Ooh, is he going to provide some answers?)
[Sat Oct 07 11:17:31 2006] : (2) GM: Depends on his Spellcraft check.
[Sat Oct 07 11:18:15 2006] : (2) GM: So you're all standing around on excavated granite, looking at some silver patterns in the ground beneath you, surrounded by 10 foot walls of dirt.
[Sat Oct 07 11:18:57 2006] : (1) Kibin: (And my character has barely a clue what those runes are, so...)
[Sat Oct 07 11:19:25 2006] : (2) GM: (At this point, Kaylin's working mostly with hints....)
[Sat Oct 07 11:19:52 2006] : whispering to GM, Which, if you don't remember, seem to be a variation on the form of Magic Circle used in Planar Binding.
[Sat Oct 07 11:20:21 2006] : (2) GM: Kaylin - spellcraft check?
[Sat Oct 07 11:20:33 2006] : (4) Kaylin: Spellcraft Skill Check: [1d20+37] -> [12,37] = (49)
[Sat Oct 07 11:21:04 2006] : whispering to Kaylin, With more of it exposed, it would appear that it's actively gathering and channelling... something.... towards the center.
[Sat Oct 07 11:22:25 2006] : (4) Kaylin: This is very odd, isn't it...
[Sat Oct 07 11:22:35 2006] : whispering to Kaylin, Although all of the whatever it is seems to travel along the silver pathways laid out, so while it's going inwards, it's not taking a straight path.
[Sat Oct 07 11:22:50 2006] : (1) Kibin: What's odd?
[Sat Oct 07 11:23:30 2006] : (4) Kaylin: This calling diagram... something is going along these metal pathways towards the center....
[Sat Oct 07 11:23:59 2006] : (4) Kaylin (whispering): Any idea on the source of this 'something"?
[Sat Oct 07 11:24:52 2006] : whispering to Kaylin, It's not spelled out exactly what in the runes you can see; you'd need to do some form of identification on the bars themselves to see what they're channeling.
[Sat Oct 07 11:25:35 2006] : whispering to Kaylin, The runes are placed in such a way, however, that it's fairly clear they're drawing something in.
[Sat Oct 07 11:25:51 2006] : ** (1) Kibin waits patiently for a more precise explaination. **
[Sat Oct 07 11:25:54 2006] : ** (4) Kaylin starts looking at various metal channels while walking around in the pit **
[Sat Oct 07 11:27:00 2006] : (4) Kaylin: I'm having a lot of trouble figuring this out... anyone have better ideas about what these bars are?
[Sat Oct 07 11:27:40 2006] : (1) Kibin: (I have any clue what they are?)
[Sat Oct 07 11:28:34 2006] : whispering to Kibin, Silver. Probably rather valuable in aggregate, due to obvious length and size. Might have a bit of a difficulty digging them out of the underlying granite, though; it looks as though the silver was poured in after the granite had been carved otu.
[Sat Oct 07 11:29:29 2006] : (2) GM: Anyone care to make a Knoweledge(Arcana or History) check?
[Sat Oct 07 11:29:33 2006] : ** (1) Kibin comments, "Unless you want to know about value of them, probally not." **
[Sat Oct 07 11:29:38 2006] : (1) Kibin: Knowledge: Arcana Skill Check: [1d20+5] -> [18,5] = (23)
[Sat Oct 07 11:29:49 2006] : (4) Kaylin: Knowledge: Arcana Skill Check: [1d20+32] -> [15,32] = (47)
[Sat Oct 07 11:30:00 2006] : (4) Kaylin: (ahh, heck, History too...)
[Sat Oct 07 11:30:01 2006] : (4) Kaylin: Knowledge: History Skill Check: [1d20+16] -> [18,16] = (34)
[Sat Oct 07 11:30:06 2006] : whispering to Kibin, Seems similar to a binding circle....
[Sat Oct 07 11:30:41 2006] : (1) Kibin (whispering): Um, you said that yesterday... oh wait, that was a calling diagram.
[Sat Oct 07 11:30:56 2006] : (1) Kibin: Well, it's kind of similar to a binding circle.
[Sat Oct 07 11:31:24 2006] : (4) Kaylin: Binding... but pulling something inward, too..
[Sat Oct 07 11:32:32 2006] : whispering to Kaylin, Well, there was a rather secretive order of mages in these parts over a millenia ago. Nobody was ever quite sure what their ultimate goals were, but they did go through a lot of money. Most thought they were just fond of silver. They were rather enterprising chaps; tended to specialize in finding ways around the costs of the spells that tend to burn casters out. No record of strange dissapearences, though.
[Sat Oct 07 11:32:54 2006] : whispering to Kaylin, E.g., the spells that cost XP
[Sat Oct 07 11:33:31 2006] : (1) Kibin: Maybe you'd find out more if you uncovered more of it?
[Sat Oct 07 11:34:16 2006] : (4) Kaylin: Definitely worth considering. What materials are the bars composed of?
[Sat Oct 07 11:34:47 2006] : (1) Kibin: Silver.
[Sat Oct 07 11:35:09 2006] : (3) Me'hive: `< sorry bout that. >
[Sat Oct 07 11:35:19 2006] : whispering to Kaylin, The dust of which is the arcane material component of the Magic Circle line of spells.
[Sat Oct 07 11:35:34 2006] : (2) GM: (Happens.)
[Sat Oct 07 11:35:50 2006] : (2) GM: (got the dirt off them, anyway, and looking at the granite they're embedded into) Anyway, as the cloaked ghost, silver wyrmling, winged elf, white-robed elf, and the out-of-place human examine their find, someone comes walking up, one who truely appreciates the time and effort that had to have been put into such a construction....
[Sat Oct 07 11:35:51 2006] : (4) Kaylin: Silver... huh. There were some mages around here that seem like they would have created something like this, but that was a long time ago.
[Sat Oct 07 11:36:00 2006] : (1) Kibin: (You actually have a maid, though. I have to clean my room myself.)
[Sat Oct 07 11:36:10 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < lol >
[Sat Oct 07 11:36:22 2006] : (4) Kaylin: (I guess the mayors are still busy slicing up flesh somewhere?)
[Sat Oct 07 11:36:46 2006] : whispering to Me'hive, Ready to come by in your investigations into that scrap of ancient parchment that refferenced a very old, very large magical construction in this area?
[Sat Oct 07 11:36:48 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Um. No slicing up of flesh yet.)
[Sat Oct 07 11:37:09 2006] : (3) Me'hive (whispering): sure.
[Sat Oct 07 11:37:20 2006] : (3) Me'hive (whispering): am I gonna need to decipher script?
[Sat Oct 07 11:37:23 2006] : (1) Kibin: (No stone to flesh cast yet I think.)
[Sat Oct 07 11:37:32 2006] : (2) GM: (Yep, they mayors are busy carving up the Stone to Flesh supplies for transport, preservation, and distribution)
[Sat Oct 07 11:37:46 2006] : (2) GM: (That was last session - they're out of the picture for the moment)
[Sat Oct 07 11:38:01 2006] : whispering to Me'hive, It'd be an interesting roll to try.
[Sat Oct 07 11:38:25 2006] : (3) Me'hive: Decipher Script: [1d20+24] -> [7,24] = (31)
[Sat Oct 07 11:39:46 2006] : whispering to Me'hive, The runes appear to be of a language that was specifically constructed for the purpose; you get a sense about a gathering of a power of some kind, feeding..... something.... for later harnessing.
[Sat Oct 07 11:40:30 2006] : whispering to Me'hive, There's more to be said, but the dirt still covers much.
[Sat Oct 07 11:40:45 2006] : (2) GM: Oh, and what's this mysterious figure walking into the scene look like?
[Sat Oct 07 11:41:13 2006] : (3) Me'hive: Physical Description: A very strong but thin, young man in silk pants and a sash stands before you. Shirtless and barefoot, hundreds of blue tattoos in seemnigly random circular geometric shapes cover his body.
[Sat Oct 07 11:42:02 2006] : (2) GM: So while you're all standing there, a such a young man comes over the artifical hills from your excavations.
[Sat Oct 07 11:42:12 2006] : (2) GM: Walking, teleporting, flying, riding a horse.....?
[Sat Oct 07 11:42:19 2006] : (3) Me'hive: walking
[Sat Oct 07 11:42:32 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Combination of the four...)
[Sat Oct 07 11:43:16 2006] : (2) GM: (Well, if you were to teleport in riding a phantom steed that was using it's wind walk ability......)
[Sat Oct 07 11:43:19 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Oh cool, a geomancer!)
[Sat Oct 07 11:43:36 2006] : (2) GM: How does everyone react?
[Sat Oct 07 11:43:38 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < haha, you wish, Kibin ;) >
[Sat Oct 07 11:44:02 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Aw. Not a geomancer with a tattooed spellbook?)
[Sat Oct 07 11:44:03 2006] : ** (4) Kaylin turns to face the newcomer, and waits for Mr. Charisma to do the talking **
[Sat Oct 07 11:44:11 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < nope. >
[Sat Oct 07 11:44:20 2006] : (1) Kibin: (We have a Mr. Charisma?)
[Sat Oct 07 11:44:46 2006] : (4) Kaylin: (Elorin)
[Sat Oct 07 11:44:54 2006] : (4) Kaylin: (Or Jason, for that matter...)
[Sat Oct 07 11:45:00 2006] : (5) Elorin: (sorry, I'm still busy catching up)
[Sat Oct 07 11:45:05 2006] : (1) Kibin: (He's Mr. Wisdom, I though.)
[Sat Oct 07 11:45:09 2006] : (1) Kibin: (thought*
[Sat Oct 07 11:45:22 2006] : (4) Kaylin: (He's a good diplomat...)
[Sat Oct 07 11:45:25 2006] : (2) GM: (Elorin's suffering a bit of a case of MAD)
[Sat Oct 07 11:45:27 2006] : (6) Katsuro: (I'm not really up to being creative right now.)
[Sat Oct 07 11:45:58 2006] : (6) Katsuro: "Hello, stranger. Know anything about mystical binding runes?"
[Sat Oct 07 11:45:59 2006] : ** (4) Kaylin sees that nobody else wants to say anything, so to break the tension, says "Hello..." **
[Sat Oct 07 11:46:08 2006] : ** (1) Kibin thinks about the silver bars and the diagrams more in his mind, not noticing the newcommer. **
[Sat Oct 07 11:46:09 2006] : (6) Katsuro: (On the other hand, someone has to say something.)
[Sat Oct 07 11:46:12 2006] : (1) Kibin: (newcomer*)
[Sat Oct 07 11:46:35 2006] : (4) Kaylin: What brings you here?
[Sat Oct 07 11:46:35 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "Just little bit. After looking at them they tell me about harnessing some type of power. They're in a language I do not know, however, and cannot translate them cmopletely."
[Sat Oct 07 11:46:52 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "Well, I heard about this area and was intrigued by it."
[Sat Oct 07 11:47:25 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Any language any of the rest of us know?)
[Sat Oct 07 11:47:35 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < idk, wasn't told. >
[Sat Oct 07 11:47:39 2006] : (4) Kaylin: (brb, need a glass of water)
[Sat Oct 07 11:47:40 2006] : (2) GM: (Nope - no language you recognize)
[Sat Oct 07 11:48:39 2006] : whispering to Me'hive, Language appears artifical; much like someone might make when specifically wanting to send information from one member to another for a society that doesn't really want others to know their business. It's not a language in use anywhere that you're aware of.
[Sat Oct 07 11:49:46 2006] : (1) Kibin: (... has anyone tried casting read magic, or that thing that lets you read any language if you touch it...)
[Sat Oct 07 11:49:46 2006] : (4) Kaylin: I see... do you work with magic similar to this?
[Sat Oct 07 11:50:14 2006] : (2) GM: (Not at this time, no)
[Sat Oct 07 11:50:17 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "The language doesn't apepar to be one that many people would know to begin with, sort of a secret one."
[Sat Oct 07 11:50:53 2006] : (1) Kibin: (*OOCly suggestion to the person with 30+ intelligence that would think of it.*)
[Sat Oct 07 11:50:59 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "Perhaps just scribbled notes in a puzzle only unlockable to the person who created them and anyone he's shared such information with."
[Sat Oct 07 11:51:53 2006] : (4) Kaylin: Do you think the key lies in the runes? I was focusing more on the engravings.
[Sat Oct 07 11:52:44 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "I'm not sure either way."
[Sat Oct 07 11:53:35 2006] : (4) Kaylin: Well, that is worth investigating...
[Sat Oct 07 11:53:39 2006] : (2) GM: Well, everyone's been here long enough.... Fort saves?
[Sat Oct 07 11:53:47 2006] : (1) Kibin: Fortitude save: [1d20+19] -> [20,19] = (39)
[Sat Oct 07 11:53:55 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Mmm, natural 20.)
[Sat Oct 07 11:53:57 2006] : (6) Katsuro: Fortitude save: [1d20+10] -> [11,10] = (21)
[Sat Oct 07 11:54:03 2006] : (3) Me'hive: Fort: [1d20+10] -> [14,10] = (24)
[Sat Oct 07 11:54:08 2006] : (4) Kaylin: Fortitude save: [1d20+17] -> [2,17] = (19)
[Sat Oct 07 11:54:15 2006] : (4) Kaylin: (joy)
[Sat Oct 07 11:54:17 2006] : (2) GM: Fortitude save: [1d20+9] -> [9,9] = (18)
[Sat Oct 07 11:54:24 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < hey, anyone have a mic and wanna do this with TS?
[Sat Oct 07 11:54:44 2006] : (4) Kaylin: (TS?)
[Sat Oct 07 11:54:49 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < Teamspeak >
[Sat Oct 07 11:54:51 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Don't like microphones, and it's really a pain to go throguh audio logs.)
[Sat Oct 07 11:54:55 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Teamspeak, yeah.)
[Sat Oct 07 11:55:03 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < alright, nvm then. >
[Sat Oct 07 11:55:08 2006] : whispering to Katsuro, Kaylin, gain [1d6] -> [2] = (2) temporary HP as you pick up a rush of energy. Feels a little uncomfortable, though.
[Sat Oct 07 11:55:11 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Also, I have a tendency to have to disappear various times.)
[Sat Oct 07 11:55:52 2006] : (6) Katsuro: "I think perhaps we should step out of the circle."
[Sat Oct 07 11:56:08 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < can I spellcraft the circle? >
[Sat Oct 07 11:56:08 2006] : (1) Kibin: Why?
[Sat Oct 07 11:56:17 2006] : whispering to Me'hive, Sure.
[Sat Oct 07 11:56:17 2006] : (4) Kaylin: I just felt a little energy boost...
[Sat Oct 07 11:56:26 2006] : (4) Kaylin: feels odd, maybe we should.
[Sat Oct 07 11:56:31 2006] : (6) Katsuro: "Yes - And nothing says it has to stay benign."
[Sat Oct 07 11:56:32 2006] : (3) Me'hive: Spellcraft: [1d20+24] -> [7,24] = (31)
[Sat Oct 07 11:56:41 2006] : ** (6) Katsuro walks out of the circle. **
[Sat Oct 07 11:56:45 2006] : (1) Kibin: I felt nothing...
[Sat Oct 07 11:57:51 2006] : whispering to Me'hive, Seems to be a form of variation on something from the Magic Circle line of spells, focused as it would be for a Planar Binding spell.... with full Calling Diagram. But you've never encountered something on this scale, and it would seem to be gathering more than containing.... but whatever else is happening, it's focused inwards, not outwards.
[Sat Oct 07 11:57:57 2006] : ** (4) Kaylin leans up against a dirt wall of the pit **
[Sat Oct 07 11:58:30 2006] : whispering to Katsuro, Kaylin, And the temporary HP fade after a few moments... as does the feeling of boosted energies.
[Sat Oct 07 11:58:31 2006] : (3) Me'hive (whispering): knowledge arcana? >
[Sat Oct 07 11:58:52 2006] : ** (1) Kibin flies out of the pit and stands on the edge. **
[Sat Oct 07 11:58:59 2006] : (3) Me'hive: Knowledge (Arcana): [1d20+27] -> [1,27] = (28)
[Sat Oct 07 11:59:05 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < oh god...why!!!!!!! >
[Sat Oct 07 11:59:10 2006] : (4) Kaylin: (Daaang, your checks are sucking :( )
[Sat Oct 07 11:59:16 2006] : (4) Kaylin: (condolences)
[Sat Oct 07 11:59:20 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < yeah, they always do -_- >
[Sat Oct 07 11:59:32 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Even on a 1 you're better than me on a 20. :P)
[Sat Oct 07 11:59:39 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < lol >
[Sat Oct 07 11:59:55 2006] : whispering to Me'hive, You have never seen anything like the scale of this. Most of it's covered; you can't get a good feel for it.
[Sat Oct 07 12:00:19 2006] : whispering to Me'hive, And we're in "unique effect" DC zones, so......
[Sat Oct 07 12:01:22 2006] : (5) Elorin: Fortitude save: [1d20+19] -> [15,19] = (34)
[Sat Oct 07 12:01:34 2006] : (3) Me'hive (whispering): okay.
[Sat Oct 07 12:01:41 2006] : (2) GM: From outside the pit, you have a nice clear view of the few hundred feet of exposed silver bars and runes radiating from the near stone pillar, towards the other four vertices of the pentagram.
[Sat Oct 07 12:02:48 2006] : (2) GM: Will save: [1d20+19] -> [13,19] = (32)
[Sat Oct 07 12:03:10 2006] : (2) GM: Jason, when he tries to pass outwards through the silver lines, finds he can't.
[Sat Oct 07 12:03:41 2006] : (2) GM: It's odd, seeing a transparent, color-bled figure walking a foot above the ground run into nothing......
[Sat Oct 07 12:04:05 2006] : (6) Katsuro: "That's not good."
[Sat Oct 07 12:04:18 2006] : (4) Kaylin: Jason... are you stuck in there?
[Sat Oct 07 12:04:35 2006] : (2) GM: Jason taps the invisible wall a few times.
[Sat Oct 07 12:04:44 2006] : ** (4) Kaylin sighs **
[Sat Oct 07 12:04:44 2006] : (2) GM: "From walking, at least. Hold up a moment....."
[Sat Oct 07 12:04:55 2006] : (2) GM: Dimension Door, Level 4: Teleports you short distance
[Sat Oct 07 12:05:12 2006] : (2) GM: Jason teleports, and lands successfully outside the lines.
[Sat Oct 07 12:05:16 2006] : (2) GM: Jason: Nope.
[Sat Oct 07 12:05:19 2006] : (5) Elorin: Hmm, about those runes, are they actually magical writing or just in an obscure language?
[Sat Oct 07 12:05:30 2006] : (5) Elorin: (finished my catchup reading)
[Sat Oct 07 12:05:40 2006] : (4) Kaylin: Got a Comprehend Languages handy?
[Sat Oct 07 12:05:46 2006] : (5) Elorin: of course
[Sat Oct 07 12:05:56 2006] : (4) Kaylin: So useful.
[Sat Oct 07 12:05:59 2006] : (5) Elorin: Elorin casts Comprehend Languages ( level 1, "You understand all spoken and written languages" )
[Sat Oct 07 12:06:00 2006] : (5) Elorin: Elorin casts Level 1 Spell ( level 1, "Spell slot tracking device" )
[Sat Oct 07 12:06:08 2006] : (3) Me'hive: 
[Sat Oct 07 12:06:09 2006] : whispering to Kaylin, Me'hive, Seems to be an odd mix. Like it was a poetic language designed for such things.
[Sat Oct 07 12:06:14 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < Tongues >
[Sat Oct 07 12:06:27 2006] : (5) Elorin: (Tongues doesn't grant literacy, though)
[Sat Oct 07 12:06:35 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < yeah, i nkow -_- >
[Sat Oct 07 12:06:43 2006] : (5) Elorin: (and I have it too)
[Sat Oct 07 12:06:51 2006] : (4) Kaylin: (And me)
[Sat Oct 07 12:07:08 2006] : (5) Elorin: (so, anyway, can I read the runes now?)
[Sat Oct 07 12:07:09 2006] : whispering to Elorin, Make a Will save.
[Sat Oct 07 12:07:19 2006] : (5) Elorin: Will save: [1d20+28] -> [11,28] = (39)
[Sat Oct 07 12:07:50 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < okay, took tonguse and comprehend languages, and i'm almost finished with my character. just need to put in the RP info real quick. >
[Sat Oct 07 12:08:00 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Gotta be touching the writing though.)
[Sat Oct 07 12:08:43 2006] : whispering to Elorin, It seems to be a poem. Unfortunately, they don't translate well. It spreads out and runs farther than you can see, but what you do see seems to be all about the drawing and binding of the essence of..... and there it stops, as it runs underneath the dirt.
[Sat Oct 07 12:09:24 2006] : (5) Elorin: It's some sort of poem about the drawing and binding of the essense of... something
[Sat Oct 07 12:09:31 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < do I start off with 153 or 171 exp? >
[Sat Oct 07 12:09:31 2006] : (5) Elorin: we'll have to uncover more to find out what
[Sat Oct 07 12:09:56 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < in the thousands, of course -_- >
[Sat Oct 07 12:10:13 2006] : (2) GM: 18th level: [1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10+11+12+13+14+15+16+17] -> 153
[Sat Oct 07 12:10:14 2006] : (4) Kaylin: Well, I can't cast another move earth spell today.
[Sat Oct 07 12:11:05 2006] : (3) Me'hive (whispering): character is at Me'hive
[Sat Oct 07 12:11:13 2006] : (4) Kaylin: So... digging?
[Sat Oct 07 12:11:23 2006] : (3) Me'hive: http://dice-gamers.com/3eprofiler/view.php?id=1723 digging for what? >
[Sat Oct 07 12:11:29 2006] : (3) Me'hive: whoops, hang on...
[Sat Oct 07 12:11:37 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < digging for what? >
[Sat Oct 07 12:11:58 2006] : (1) Kibin: You mean manually digging all that dirt away?
[Sat Oct 07 12:12:11 2006] : (3) Me'hive: 
[Sat Oct 07 12:12:38 2006] : (5) Elorin: Hmm, what was that trick with summoning that someone mentioned earlier?
[Sat Oct 07 12:13:12 2006] : (2) GM: Jason: You mean the Dire Badger? It's kinda unique among the summons in that it leaves a tunnel behind while it digs.
[Sat Oct 07 12:13:14 2006] : (4) Kaylin: Summoning creatures to help dig? I'm not sure what you are talking about.
[Sat Oct 07 12:13:48 2006] : (5) Elorin: I could call up a few Celestial Dire Badgers...
[Sat Oct 07 12:14:17 2006] : (5) Elorin: but how to get them to dig...
[Sat Oct 07 12:14:30 2006] : (6) Katsuro: (Tell them it's evil dirt?)
[Sat Oct 07 12:14:32 2006] : (1) Kibin: Tell them to go dig?
[Sat Oct 07 12:14:40 2006] : (5) Elorin: (hmm, looking up their stats, even the celestial version doesn't seem to have any language)
[Sat Oct 07 12:14:44 2006] : (2) GM: Anyone care to make a Knoweledge(The Planes) check?
[Sat Oct 07 12:14:45 2006] : (5) Elorin: (not even Celestial)
[Sat Oct 07 12:14:56 2006] : (4) Kaylin: Knowledge: The Planes Skill Check: [1d20+21] -> [18,21] = (39)
[Sat Oct 07 12:16:04 2006] : whispering to Kaylin, Celestial Animals all speak - common, under most circumstances. (Rules-wise, anything with an Int of 3 or higher understands a langauge, common, unless otherwise specified... and the Clestial Template doesn't specify, so.....)
[Sat Oct 07 12:16:27 2006] : whispering to Kaylin, They just usually aren't that bright, and don't bother to say much.
[Sat Oct 07 12:16:42 2006] : (4) Kaylin: A Celestial dire badger ought to be able to understand Common, so far as I am aware.
[Sat Oct 07 12:17:00 2006] : (5) Elorin: Ah, that makes things easy
[Sat Oct 07 12:17:03 2006] : (5) Elorin: Elorin casts Summon Monster VI ( level 6, "Calls extraplanar creature to fight for you" )
[Sat Oct 07 12:17:04 2006] : (5) Elorin: Elorin casts Level 6 Spell ( level 6, "Spell slot tracking device" )
[Sat Oct 07 12:17:15 2006] : (1) Kibin: Want me to help, or can the summoned creatures just do it?
[Sat Oct 07 12:17:23 2006] : (5) Elorin: [1d4+1] -> [3,1] = (4)
[Sat Oct 07 12:17:35 2006] : (5) Elorin: (4 Celestial Dire Badgers appear)
[Sat Oct 07 12:17:47 2006] : (2) GM: And you get four whitish badgers, each the size of a riding dog, appearing in a close grouping where you designate.
[Sat Oct 07 12:17:57 2006] : ** (3) Me'hive steps back in aw of the large badgers. **
[Sat Oct 07 12:18:10 2006] : ** (5) Elorin tells them I need this stone uncovered **
[Sat Oct 07 12:18:25 2006] : ** (4) Kaylin sits down and starts idly reading her spellbook **
[Sat Oct 07 12:18:30 2006] : (2) GM: (a Great Dane is probably about the size you'd be looking at, in real-life terms)
[Sat Oct 07 12:18:46 2006] : (2) GM: The four badgers get busily working on throwing dirt around......
[Sat Oct 07 12:18:49 2006] : (2) GM: What's your duration?
[Sat Oct 07 12:19:04 2006] : (5) Elorin: (2 minutes)
[Sat Oct 07 12:19:07 2006] : ** (1) Kibin steps back as to not get any of the dirt flung on him. **
[Sat Oct 07 12:19:48 2006] : (2) GM: And with one round for your explanation, hustling at 20 feet/round, you get four tunnels at [19*20] -> 380 feet each.
[Sat Oct 07 12:20:12 2006] : (2) GM: The each, out of curiosity, follow the silver lines already laid out, in each direction.
[Sat Oct 07 12:20:50 2006] : ** (5) Elorin attempts to read the rest of the runes **
[Sat Oct 07 12:23:08 2006] : whispering to Elorin, Unfortunately, it uses a code word, which the spell won't translate. It seems to almost be used as a proper noun... capitalizing, as the difference between Wind and wind - It does, however, continue on with things the spell can deal with, and continues with "for the feeding and supplying for later use. Drain nightly for safety."
[Sat Oct 07 12:24:30 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < awkward silence? >
[Sat Oct 07 12:24:38 2006] : (4) Kaylin: (Apparently so)
[Sat Oct 07 12:24:46 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < hmm... >
[Sat Oct 07 12:24:46 2006] : (2) GM: (Difficulties with deliberately vague wording)
[Sat Oct 07 12:24:56 2006] : (5) Elorin (whispering): so what sorts of things can this spell deal with according to the runes?
[Sat Oct 07 12:24:58 2006] : ** (1) Kibin does more doodles in the ground while he waits for Elorin to finish reading. **
[Sat Oct 07 12:25:13 2006] : ** (3) Me'hive goes over to help read the runes. **
[Sat Oct 07 12:25:21 2006] : (2) GM: (And whispering to the players who's characters would have the info)
[Sat Oct 07 12:25:45 2006] : ** (6) Katsuro looks at Kibins' doodles. **
[Sat Oct 07 12:25:47 2006] : (3) Me'hive: 
[Sat Oct 07 12:26:24 2006] : whispering to Elorin, It is, unfortunately, very vague on what happens with the stuff - just that it's being gathered for a purpose, and that it needs to be drained every night, but not quite telling you what it properly is, or what it's used for
[Sat Oct 07 12:26:29 2006] : (2) GM: Active?
[Sat Oct 07 12:26:38 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < yes >
[Sat Oct 07 12:26:49 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < well, decipher script is a skill... >
[Sat Oct 07 12:27:51 2006] : whispering to Me'hive, It seems to be a poem. Unfortunately, they don't translate well. It spreads out and runs farther than you can see, but what you do see seems to be all about the drawing and binding of the essence of" and here a code word is used, and is thus untranslatable; almost used as a proper noun, though, like the difference between Wind and wind... "for the feeding and supplying for later use. Drain nightly for safety."
[Sat Oct 07 12:28:29 2006] : (2) GM: Oh, and Me'Hive - will save when touching the silver bars with a translation spell active....
[Sat Oct 07 12:28:41 2006] : (5) Elorin: Huh, it seems the kind of essence it draws is not translatable, almost as if it's a proper noun. Whatever it is, it's gathered "for the feeding and supplying for later use. Drain nightly for safety."
[Sat Oct 07 12:28:42 2006] : (3) Me'hive: Willpower: [1d20+15] -> [12,15] = (27)
[Sat Oct 07 12:29:05 2006] : whispering to Me'hive, Take [1d10] -> [4] = (4) points of Intelligence damage.
[Sat Oct 07 12:29:08 2006] : (1) Kibin: Drain nightly for safety? That seems important...
[Sat Oct 07 12:29:21 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < can I knowledge (arcana, religion, and local) for what could possibly be referenced in this poem? >
[Sat Oct 07 12:29:38 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < at a -2 penalty, now... >
[Sat Oct 07 12:30:07 2006] : (5) Elorin: Hmm, doesn't that ritual Jason's ancient opponent used draw on some collected pool of power? Might this be the source of it?
[Sat Oct 07 12:30:15 2006] : (2) GM: Sure. Local would give you some hints, if you got a really good roll.
[Sat Oct 07 12:30:29 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < cue really good roll... -_- >
[Sat Oct 07 12:30:32 2006] : (3) Me'hive: Knowledge (Local): [1d20+24] -> [14,24] = (38)
[Sat Oct 07 12:30:34 2006] : (4) Kaylin: That's sort of what I was thinking... drain nightly, though?
[Sat Oct 07 12:30:38 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < hurray... >.> >
[Sat Oct 07 12:30:51 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "yes, drain nightly."
[Sat Oct 07 12:31:00 2006] : (4) Kaylin: Sounds ominous.
[Sat Oct 07 12:31:21 2006] : (4) Kaylin: I suppose they neglected to include an instruction book...
[Sat Oct 07 12:31:25 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "This poem sounds more like an instruction manual..."
[Sat Oct 07 12:32:33 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < wait, was that save I made against a type of enchantment? >
[Sat Oct 07 12:32:38 2006] : whispering to Me'hive, There once was a secretive cabal of mages around here.... didn't seem like bad folk, kept to themselves. But they've been gone for a millenia. Did wonders; there was a little bit of a stir when a guildmage from elsewhere demanded to know how they could cast those great spells so often.... but the legends don't speak of him going away satisfied.
[Sat Oct 07 12:33:13 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "Hmm, I think this is referencing the Cabal of mages, over a millenia ago."
[Sat Oct 07 12:33:31 2006] : whispering to Me'hive, No. A bleed out of energy passing through channels the spell carved that aren't particularly nice when unprepared for.
[Sat Oct 07 12:33:43 2006] : (4) Kaylin: Oh, is that what they called themselves?
[Sat Oct 07 12:33:56 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "I believe so, although nothing is for certain, of course."
[Sat Oct 07 12:34:14 2006] : (5) Elorin: I'm not familiar with this Cabal you speak of.
[Sat Oct 07 12:34:36 2006] : (1) Kibin: Which I don't know anything about, since I wasn't there then and I don't know what you're talking about. What was the Cabal of mages?
[Sat Oct 07 12:34:41 2006] : whispering to Me'hive, In other words, you put your mind on a hot poker of a sort. It's harmless to anyone touching it normally, but spells designed to grant meaning dig in and the magics interfere with each other somewhat.
[Sat Oct 07 12:34:54 2006] : (4) Kaylin: An old group of mages active in this area a while ago.
[Sat Oct 07 12:35:07 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "Well, appearantly they a group of highly skilled mages over amillenia ago. A guildmage once asked them how they could cast incredibly powerful spells so often, and, well, I don't think he ever got the answer he was looking for" ;)
[Sat Oct 07 12:35:28 2006] : (3) Me'hive (whispering): got it. I was just wondering because I'm immune to enchantments.
[Sat Oct 07 12:35:47 2006] : (4) Kaylin: This circle probably has something to do with it.
[Sat Oct 07 12:35:52 2006] : (3) Me'hive (whispering): oh, and transmutations and curses, too.
[Sat Oct 07 12:35:58 2006] : whispering to Me'hive, The joys of Mind Blank?
[Sat Oct 07 12:36:05 2006] : (3) Me'hive (whispering): hmm....would that count as a curse?
[Sat Oct 07 12:36:13 2006] : whispering to Me'hive, Hmm... lots of schools to be immune to....
[Sat Oct 07 12:36:19 2006] : (3) Me'hive (whispering): no, it's a spell called Break Enchantment.
[Sat Oct 07 12:36:23 2006] : (1) Kibin: Thank you, uh... who ever your name is.
[Sat Oct 07 12:36:24 2006] : whispering to Me'hive, No more so than a Magic Missile.
[Sat Oct 07 12:36:33 2006] : (3) Me'hive (whispering): and I am only immune to level 5 or lower spells, so of course it's gonan be powerful.
[Sat Oct 07 12:36:50 2006] : (3) Me'hive (whispering): or at least have a few schools to it.
[Sat Oct 07 12:36:52 2006] : whispering to Me'hive, Ah, something along the lines of Craft Contingent Spell (Break Enchantement).
[Sat Oct 07 12:37:05 2006] : (3) Me'hive (whispering): yup.
[Sat Oct 07 12:37:14 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "No problem, Kibin."
[Sat Oct 07 12:37:38 2006] : (5) Elorin: Oh, right, introductions. I'm Elorin.
[Sat Oct 07 12:38:04 2006] : (1) Kibin: (*doesn't quite remember telling him what his name was... hmmm.)
[Sat Oct 07 12:38:12 2006] : ** (4) Kaylin closes up her book and stands up **
[Sat Oct 07 12:38:18 2006] : (4) Kaylin: I'm Kaylin.
[Sat Oct 07 12:38:27 2006] : (6) Katsuro: "I was named Katsuro."
[Sat Oct 07 12:38:33 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "I'm Me'hive (me-heev)."
[Sat Oct 07 12:38:53 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "A name given to me by my guildmage at the age of 12."
[Sat Oct 07 12:38:59 2006] : (1) Kibin: And I'm Kibin.
[Sat Oct 07 12:39:04 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < sorry, that's meh-heev
[Sat Oct 07 12:39:15 2006] : (2) GM: The pale, slightly transparent man says "Call me Jason." He has a noticeable line along his neck.
[Sat Oct 07 12:39:30 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < is he a ghost? >
[Sat Oct 07 12:39:40 2006] : (2) GM: (Yep. Under the full +5 LA.)
[Sat Oct 07 12:39:50 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < cool. >
[Sat Oct 07 12:39:56 2006] : ** (3) Me'hive leans against jason. **
[Sat Oct 07 12:40:00 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "So, how'd you die?"
[Sat Oct 07 12:40:04 2006] : (2) GM: (Otherwise known as the invincible commoner with a quarterstaff)
[Sat Oct 07 12:40:09 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < gauntlets have Ghost Touch >
[Sat Oct 07 12:40:37 2006] : ** (4) Kaylin watches in amusement as someone leans on Jason **
[Sat Oct 07 12:40:38 2006] : (2) GM: Jason: In a battle long ago..... which I won. After.
[Sat Oct 07 12:40:55 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "Well, it's nice to know that you won. Too bad about the afteraffects"
[Sat Oct 07 12:41:56 2006] : (2) GM: Jason: Wouldn't have been victorious without them.... wore him down over a few years. I always get better.
[Sat Oct 07 12:42:04 2006] : (2) GM: He sounds a bit bitter on that last line....
[Sat Oct 07 12:42:41 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "Well, I'm glad you're friendly to me. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't wanna go against you in any matches" ;)
[Sat Oct 07 12:43:04 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < so what about this excavation site, now? >
[Sat Oct 07 12:43:30 2006] : (6) Katsuro: (BRB)
[Sat Oct 07 12:43:55 2006] : (5) Elorin: (I believe we have almost 400 feet excavated along 4 separate lines of the silver bars that we could investigate)
[Sat Oct 07 12:44:14 2006] : (5) Elorin: (but I don't know if that would reveal anything new)
[Sat Oct 07 12:44:26 2006] : (1) Kibin: (We already did investigate it.)
[Sat Oct 07 12:44:39 2006] : (2) GM: (just something we stumbled across, while looking to get a few villages that, for some strange reason, hadn't planted during a time of absolute peace.....)
[Sat Oct 07 12:44:52 2006] : (2) GM: (... get them fed.)
[Sat Oct 07 12:44:56 2006] : (6) Katsuro: (Back.)
[Sat Oct 07 12:45:04 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < we're trying to feed a village? >
[Sat Oct 07 12:45:16 2006] : (5) Elorin: (I read the logs)
[Sat Oct 07 12:45:19 2006] : (2) GM: Jason: So, anyone know what this is holding?
[Sat Oct 07 12:45:30 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < would I? >
[Sat Oct 07 12:45:34 2006] : (2) GM: (Already did - Stone to Flesh makes a lot of meat.....)
[Sat Oct 07 12:45:39 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < what kind of check would I need? >
[Sat Oct 07 12:45:50 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < haha, stone to flesh... >
[Sat Oct 07 12:46:02 2006] : (2) GM: (No, nobody does - hinting on a journey towards the center, unsuccessfully, apparently)
[Sat Oct 07 12:46:06 2006] : (5) Elorin: From what Me'Hive said, it would seem to be a massive artifact for gathering magical energy to fuel spellcasting
[Sat Oct 07 12:46:08 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < with the permanancy spell, I hope =/ >
[Sat Oct 07 12:46:26 2006] : (2) GM: (Stone to Flesh is Duration: Instant)
[Sat Oct 07 12:46:36 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "Really? I didn't get that...could be, though."
[Sat Oct 07 12:46:40 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < ah, okay. >
[Sat Oct 07 12:46:41 2006] : (5) Elorin: "Drain nightly"...
[Sat Oct 07 12:46:43 2006] : (2) GM: (As is Flesh to Stone)
[Sat Oct 07 12:46:54 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < never used either one :P >
[Sat Oct 07 12:46:57 2006] : (5) Elorin: and the Cabal of Mages is long gone, I think...
[Sat Oct 07 12:47:05 2006] : (5) Elorin: this could be bad
[Sat Oct 07 12:47:18 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "oh yeah, they're ancient lore even to our ancestors by this time."
[Sat Oct 07 12:47:53 2006] : (4) Kaylin: Well... there's that hill... I doubt we'll learn much more out here, though I'm reluctant to go inside the circle again.
[Sat Oct 07 12:48:22 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < is the circle just a magical cirlce or is there magic item keeping it theer? >
[Sat Oct 07 12:48:54 2006] : (5) Elorin: Well, I think you'll have to if we want to investigate this further
[Sat Oct 07 12:49:08 2006] : whispering to Me'hive, Seems to be borderline between a Permanent spell and a magic item imbued in the silver
[Sat Oct 07 12:49:17 2006] : (3) Me'hive: 
[Sat Oct 07 12:50:10 2006] : (2) GM: (with a bit of work, an Artificer can cast anything... off a scroll of their own design)
[Sat Oct 07 12:50:28 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < yeah, I meant as just a normal spell, though. Not just a scroll. >
[Sat Oct 07 12:50:40 2006] : (3) Me'hive: 
[Sat Oct 07 12:50:59 2006] : (2) GM: (As an Infusion - and technically, you don't cast it, you infuse it into an item which can then cast it.....)
[Sat Oct 07 12:51:24 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < yeah, but still... :P >
[Sat Oct 07 12:51:38 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < take a pebble, poof, wondrous item. >
[Sat Oct 07 12:51:55 2006] : (4) Kaylin: Well, shall we go now or tomorrow? Me'hive, you're welcome to join us either way.
[Sat Oct 07 12:52:11 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "Okay, thank you."
[Sat Oct 07 12:52:26 2006] : (2) GM: Jason: Does anyone particularly need to rest and replenish?
[Sat Oct 07 12:52:50 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "Not I. I could on for...hours...."
[Sat Oct 07 12:52:55 2006] : (4) Kaylin: I've cast quite a bit today, but I'll be fine.
[Sat Oct 07 12:53:05 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < ring of sustenance plus breathing >
[Sat Oct 07 12:54:00 2006] : (5) Elorin: No
[Sat Oct 07 12:54:16 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "Well, which hill did you want dug?"
[Sat Oct 07 12:54:22 2006] : (2) GM: Jason: So we might as well get on with it.
[Sat Oct 07 12:55:21 2006] : (2) GM: Incidentally - the area is basically a big plain (other than the areas dug out) with a smallish hill in the middle, and a forest at one end (which was hiding one of five stones standing ten feet above the dirt... and the dirt's ten feet thick, and the standing stones merge with the bedrock.....
[Sat Oct 07 12:55:45 2006] : (2) GM: Standing stones are four miles apart. Very large pentagram.
[Sat Oct 07 12:55:50 2006] : (5) Elorin: The one in the center of this pentagram, I imagine
[Sat Oct 07 12:56:46 2006] : ** (5) Elorin starts walking in that direction **
[Sat Oct 07 12:57:09 2006] : ** (3) Me'hive follows Elorin. **
[Sat Oct 07 12:57:13 2006] : (2) GM: After about three miles of walking (an hour) you reach the hill in question. (I'm assuming everyone follows....)
[Sat Oct 07 12:57:28 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Yup. Though I fly instead of walking. Faster.)
[Sat Oct 07 12:57:34 2006] : (6) Katsuro: (Yep.)
[Sat Oct 07 12:57:55 2006] : (2) GM: The hill is more of a mound, really, covered in grass, and peaks about ten or fifteen feet above the general level of the plain. It's about thirty feet in diameter.
[Sat Oct 07 12:58:05 2006] : (2) GM: It's also surprisingly round.
[Sat Oct 07 12:58:24 2006] : ** (5) Elorin sees no point in spending the effort to fly when he'd just have to wait for everyone else anyway **
[Sat Oct 07 12:58:40 2006] : ** (3) Me'hive imbues a nearby pebble with Move Earth. **
[Sat Oct 07 12:59:06 2006] : (2) GM: And on invoking the item, the earth moves at your command.
[Sat Oct 07 12:59:12 2006] : (2) GM: Over a period of time, of course.
[Sat Oct 07 12:59:14 2006] : ** (4) Kaylin watches this unusual method of casting curiously **
[Sat Oct 07 12:59:15 2006] : ** (3) Me'hive touches the stone to the mound in hopes of digging deeply into it. **
[Sat Oct 07 13:00:16 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < 750x750 area, not sure how deep that would allows me to go.
[Sat Oct 07 13:00:42 2006] : (2) GM: The mound and dirt slowly clears away, revealing a black blob, about ten feet in diameter, at the bottom. There's a bunch of shattered silver lines underneath it, and it appears to be pounding relentlessly away at yet another pentagram.
[Sat Oct 07 13:01:18 2006] : ** (6) Katsuro blinks a few times. **
[Sat Oct 07 13:01:19 2006] : (2) GM: The pentagrams seem to have been inscribed into each other at some point. You can see thorugh the black blob somewhat; at the center, the innermost pentagram looks to be only an inch to a side, if that.
[Sat Oct 07 13:01:27 2006] : (6) Katsuro: "Well...That's new."
[Sat Oct 07 13:01:30 2006] : (3) Me'hive: in attempts to grab the blob's attention, using a mixture of languages: "Hey, what'cha up to, there?"
[Sat Oct 07 13:01:50 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < well, not mixtures, but I'm trying to findd a language it speaks. >
[Sat Oct 07 13:02:09 2006] : ** (4) Kaylin eyes the blob **
[Sat Oct 07 13:02:13 2006] : (5) Elorin: I'm guessing that's a millenium of accumulated power severely straining constraints that were never meant to hold that much
[Sat Oct 07 13:02:14 2006] : (4) Kaylin: Knowledge: Arcana Skill Check: [1d20+32] -> [4,32] = (36)
[Sat Oct 07 13:02:58 2006] : (2) GM: The blob wiggles a little bit, seeming to understand immediately, and seems surprised that there's no dirt, but continues reshaping itself into a point, and pounding again and again at the same spot on the invisible barrier. There's a slight dent in the silver under where it's attacking.
[Sat Oct 07 13:03:00 2006] : (4) Kaylin: I feel an urge to cackle.
[Sat Oct 07 13:03:04 2006] : (1) Kibin: Knowledge: Arcana Skill Check: [1d20+5] -> [16,5] = (21)
[Sat Oct 07 13:03:19 2006] : (1) Kibin: (My arcana check too. More checks always good.)
[Sat Oct 07 13:03:27 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < what language did I catch it with? >
[Sat Oct 07 13:03:37 2006] : (2) GM: Whichever was the first you tried.
[Sat Oct 07 13:03:51 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < probably common. >
[Sat Oct 07 13:04:09 2006] : (5) Elorin: So, know anything about this now that you see it, Kaylin?
[Sat Oct 07 13:04:19 2006] : whispering to Kaylin, You've no idea what that thing is, although it's fairly clear that this is where all the energy was shunted.
[Sat Oct 07 13:04:33 2006] : (3) Me'hive: Common: "Why do you not answer me? Can you speak?"
[Sat Oct 07 13:04:36 2006] : (4) Kaylin: Absolutely no idea. This is quite new to me.
[Sat Oct 07 13:04:52 2006] : (4) Kaylin: but... this is where the energy was going, that's for sure.
[Sat Oct 07 13:04:59 2006] : (2) GM: The thing has a portion of itself systemically covering every spot where the silver lines are broken. It looks a little denser at those points.
[Sat Oct 07 13:05:06 2006] : (5) Elorin: (this may be a bit rash, but...)
[Sat Oct 07 13:05:07 2006] : (5) Elorin: Elorin casts Detect Magic ( level 0, "Detects spells and magic items within 60 ft." )
[Sat Oct 07 13:05:08 2006] : (5) Elorin: Elorin casts Level 0 Spell ( level 0, "Spell slot tracking device" )
[Sat Oct 07 13:05:09 2006] : (1) Kibin: And that is what, exactly?
[Sat Oct 07 13:05:17 2006] : (2) GM: Elorin - Will save?
[Sat Oct 07 13:05:24 2006] : (5) Elorin: Will save: [1d20+28] -> [6,28] = (34)
[Sat Oct 07 13:05:37 2006] : (2) GM: Blob: You're not saying anything overly interesting.
[Sat Oct 07 13:05:41 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < haha, in case it matters, my entire body is now glowing... >
[Sat Oct 07 13:05:52 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < at least from what your detect Magic can see. >
[Sat Oct 07 13:05:56 2006] : whispering to Elorin, Take [3d6] -> [2,2,2] = (6) Intelligence damage.
[Sat Oct 07 13:06:13 2006] : (2) GM: And Elorin, Concentration check?
[Sat Oct 07 13:06:19 2006] : (5) Elorin: Concentration Skill Check: [1d20+25] -> [14,25] = (39)
[Sat Oct 07 13:06:20 2006] : (3) Me'hive: to the blob "Well, I'm rather curious as to what you're doing. I may be of some assistance if you'd let me."
[Sat Oct 07 13:06:33 2006] : whispering to Elorin, You do, however, manage to keep the spell.
[Sat Oct 07 13:07:02 2006] : (2) GM: Blob: Getting out. Stupid mages, trappin me, draining my life.... seems they're gone now, though. Fed me, at least.
[Sat Oct 07 13:07:26 2006] : (4) Kaylin: Hey, stupid is a little harsh...
[Sat Oct 07 13:07:44 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "well, that's not nice. Do you know how I can get you out of whatever prison you're in, or are you now free and seeking revenge by smashing the pentagram?"
[Sat Oct 07 13:08:21 2006] : (3) Me'hive: to kaylin "Well, they did trap this blob."
[Sat Oct 07 13:08:29 2006] : (2) GM: Blob: Still working on getting out. How big is this thing? I've broken six layers already.... nothing else to do.
[Sat Oct 07 13:08:49 2006] : (4) Kaylin: It's very big.
[Sat Oct 07 13:08:57 2006] : (3) Me'hive: to mr. blob "Six layers, eh? Hmm, maybe I can help."
[Sat Oct 07 13:09:06 2006] : (5) Elorin (whispering): results from the spell?
[Sat Oct 07 13:09:22 2006] : ** (3) Me'hive walks over to the stone. Casts Vampiric Touch and Produce Flames. **
[Sat Oct 07 13:09:25 2006] : (1) Kibin: Let's not break things that we have no clue what they do...
[Sat Oct 07 13:09:26 2006] : (4) Kaylin: Yes, but still, calling someone stupid or dumb is a pretty vicious insult.
[Sat Oct 07 13:09:35 2006] : whispering to Elorin, Yeah, overwhelming magic, basically everywhere. Except for the blob. He's a void.
[Sat Oct 07 13:09:51 2006] : ** (3) Me'hive punches the stone a few times with his gauntlets. **
[Sat Oct 07 13:09:54 2006] : (3) Me'hive: Gauntlet Punch
[Sat Oct 07 13:09:55 2006] : (3) Me'hive: Attack: [1d20+21] -> [8,21] = (29)
[Sat Oct 07 13:09:56 2006] : (3) Me'hive: Damage: [1d3+9d6+1d6+26] -> [3,4,5,4,1,1,5,1,4,4,6,26] = (64)
[Sat Oct 07 13:09:57 2006] : (3) Me'hive: Gauntlet Punch
[Sat Oct 07 13:09:58 2006] : (3) Me'hive: Attack: [1d20+21] -> [11,21] = (32)
[Sat Oct 07 13:09:59 2006] : (3) Me'hive: Damage: [1d3+9d6+1d6+26] -> [2,4,5,5,5,1,5,5,3,6,2,26] = (69)
[Sat Oct 07 13:10:10 2006] : (2) GM: Blob: Should I be kind to the people that trapped and kept drained me every night for a long, long time?
[Sat Oct 07 13:10:12 2006] : (3) Me'hive: Gauntlet Punch
[Sat Oct 07 13:10:13 2006] : (3) Me'hive: Attack: [1d20+16] -> [9,16] = (25)
[Sat Oct 07 13:10:14 2006] : (3) Me'hive: Damage: [1d3+9d6+1d6+26] -> [2,3,2,4,3,6,6,4,6,2,4,26] = (68)
[Sat Oct 07 13:10:15 2006] : (4) Kaylin: (O.o)
[Sat Oct 07 13:10:25 2006] : (2) GM: And you make a respectable breach in the silver lines. Reflex save?
[Sat Oct 07 13:10:30 2006] : (3) Me'hive: Gauntlet Punch
[Sat Oct 07 13:10:31 2006] : (3) Me'hive: Attack: [1d20+11] -> [10,11] = (21)
[Sat Oct 07 13:10:31 2006] : (3) Me'hive: Damage: [1d3+9d6+1d6+26] -> [3,4,5,2,5,6,5,6,4,6,2,26] = (74)
[Sat Oct 07 13:10:33 2006] : (4) Kaylin: No, but couldn't you find another insult? Like... vindictively cunning?
[Sat Oct 07 13:10:38 2006] : (3) Me'hive: Reflex: [1d20+10] -> [5,10] = (15)
[Sat Oct 07 13:10:43 2006] : (5) Elorin: Oooh, me don't feel so good
[Sat Oct 07 13:10:49 2006] : (5) Elorin: Elorin casts Heal ( level 6, "Cures 10 points/level of damage, all diseases and mental conditions" )
[Sat Oct 07 13:10:50 2006] : (5) Elorin: Elorin casts Level 6 Spell ( level 6, "Spell slot tracking device" )
[Sat Oct 07 13:11:02 2006] : (5) Elorin: Much better
[Sat Oct 07 13:11:36 2006] : (2) GM: As soon as the breach happens, the blob expands, jumping in size until it hits the next barrier; it's now about 30 feet across.
[Sat Oct 07 13:11:56 2006] : (2) GM: Oh, amd Me'Hive - got anything stopping you from taking negative levels?
[Sat Oct 07 13:12:08 2006] : (3) Me'hive: um...no.
[Sat Oct 07 13:12:11 2006] : (3) Me'hive: >.>
[Sat Oct 07 13:12:19 2006] : (3) Me'hive: well, aside from a 19 SR
[Sat Oct 07 13:12:20 2006] : (5) Elorin: Um, I hate to say this, but with knowing almost nothing about what this thing is, do we really want to free it?
[Sat Oct 07 13:12:21 2006] : (3) Me'hive: maybe
[Sat Oct 07 13:12:30 2006] : (1) Kibin: (OOC in () thingies.)
[Sat Oct 07 13:12:44 2006] : (2) GM: Sorry. You get caught in the blob, and take [2d4] -> [1,3] = (4) negative levels.
[Sat Oct 07 13:12:56 2006] : ** (4) Kaylin steps well back **
[Sat Oct 07 13:13:06 2006] : (1) Kibin: (In the blob temporarily, or stuck inside it and floating around?)
[Sat Oct 07 13:13:09 2006] : (2) GM: The blob, after it's sudden expansion, stops, and makes a tunnel in itself for Me'Hive to get out.
[Sat Oct 07 13:13:12 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < oh, I don't have to get stuck in the blob...I can fly.>
[Sat Oct 07 13:13:27 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < and Dimension Door at will >
[Sat Oct 07 13:13:36 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < as a free action >
[Sat Oct 07 13:13:53 2006] : (4) Kaylin: (just out of curiosity, do you like minmaxing at all? :)
[Sat Oct 07 13:13:54 2006] : (5) Elorin: (but not an immediate action)
[Sat Oct 07 13:14:09 2006] : (2) GM: You were hitting the line when it suddenly grew fifteen feet, and you failed your reflex - but it let you loose after it realized what happened.
[Sat Oct 07 13:14:11 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < no, I hate minmaxing. That's why mostly everything can kill me. >
[Sat Oct 07 13:14:33 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Good thing dimension door ends your round instantly. :P)
[Sat Oct 07 13:14:36 2006] : (2) GM: Blob: You shrank. Why'd you suddenly charge into me? It's not healthy.
[Sat Oct 07 13:14:52 2006] : (5) Elorin: He didn't. You got bigger
[Sat Oct 07 13:14:53 2006] : (3) Me'hive: to the blob: Yeah, so I'm noticing =/ "
[Sat Oct 07 13:15:04 2006] : (6) Katsuro: (Sorry, going to be busy a bit.)
[Sat Oct 07 13:15:08 2006] : (4) Kaylin: (I gotta go for about 1.5 hours or so.... now seems as good as time as any, I guess.)
[Sat Oct 07 13:15:14 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Sure.)
[Sat Oct 07 13:15:19 2006] : (2) GM: Blob: Is there a distinction?
[Sat Oct 07 13:15:35 2006] : (5) Elorin: Yes
[Sat Oct 07 13:15:43 2006] : (4) Kaylin: (Should I send you a node?)
[Sat Oct 07 13:15:46 2006] : (2) GM: Blob: Ah. Well, if you say so.
[Sat Oct 07 13:15:59 2006] : (2) GM: (Sure.... might be useful later)
[Sat Oct 07 13:16:15 2006] : (1) Kibin: Don't think it's a good idea to break those barriers...
[Sat Oct 07 13:16:22 2006] : (4) Kaylin has sent you a tree node...
[Sat Oct 07 13:16:23 2006] : (4) Kaylin: (sent,. see you later)
[Sat Oct 07 13:16:50 2006] : (5) Elorin: By the way, what exactly are you? We've never encountered anything quite like you before.
[Sat Oct 07 13:17:10 2006] : (2) GM: Blob: I'm me. What are you?
[Sat Oct 07 13:17:26 2006] : (5) Elorin: I'm an elf.
[Sat Oct 07 13:17:27 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "Well, I'm sure I'm me...hopefully, at least."
[Sat Oct 07 13:17:37 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "With any amount of luck."
[Sat Oct 07 13:18:06 2006] : (1) Kibin: Hey Jason, can you see what happens when you cast Eneveration through one of those barriers? It's made out of negative energy I think?
[Sat Oct 07 13:18:22 2006] : (2) GM: Blob: You're me too? That's nice. So why are you over there?
[Sat Oct 07 13:18:35 2006] : (2) GM: Jason: Yeah, enervation is a ray of negative energy....
[Sat Oct 07 13:18:43 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "because I seem to be better at getting out of traps ;) "
[Sat Oct 07 13:18:50 2006] : (2) GM: Evervation, Level 4: 1d4 neagative levels, close ranged touch attack, no save, SR. nagative levels: [1d4] -> [2] = (2)
[Sat Oct 07 13:19:12 2006] : (2) GM: Jason fires the ray up and away... and it bounces back inwards.
[Sat Oct 07 13:19:14 2006] : (2) GM: [1d100] -> [71] = (71)
[Sat Oct 07 13:19:37 2006] : (2) GM: And keeps bouncing around, until it runs out of range.
[Sat Oct 07 13:19:58 2006] : (1) Kibin: That solves what that blob is made out of, anyway.
[Sat Oct 07 13:20:11 2006] : (5) Elorin: I see
[Sat Oct 07 13:20:12 2006] : (2) GM: Blob: Oh, you're a skilled me, then.
[Sat Oct 07 13:20:13 2006] : (1) Kibin: What it's probally made out of, anyway.
[Sat Oct 07 13:20:31 2006] : (2) GM: Blob: Ah, don't be so negative! I'm made of me!
[Sat Oct 07 13:20:45 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "haha, that's right!"
[Sat Oct 07 13:21:11 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "And I'm made of some carbon-based atoms packed closely together to forma a humanoid figure."
[Sat Oct 07 13:21:31 2006] : (5) Elorin: Huh?
[Sat Oct 07 13:21:32 2006] : ** (3) Me'hive starts chuckling. **
[Sat Oct 07 13:21:40 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "Nothing, nothing."
[Sat Oct 07 13:21:46 2006] : (2) GM: Blob: What's Carbon? And what's an atom? And what's this ... hoomanood figure you speak of?
[Sat Oct 07 13:21:55 2006] : (5) Elorin: (I really don't think any character would know such things)
[Sat Oct 07 13:21:57 2006] : (1) Kibin: (*cough*Carbon, and elements in general, even atoms, weren't discovered till later. Much later.)
[Sat Oct 07 13:22:23 2006] : (5) Elorin: (unless you've learned science from the Gnomes of Doom :P)
[Sat Oct 07 13:22:25 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < meh, alright... >
[Sat Oct 07 13:22:30 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < yes ,I did :P >
[Sat Oct 07 13:22:39 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < that's my backstory...I was once a gnome...... >
[Sat Oct 07 13:22:52 2006] : (5) Elorin: (who are advanced enough to create mecha)
[Sat Oct 07 13:22:53 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < hence the gnomey name. >
[Sat Oct 07 13:23:04 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Even the concept of an atom wasn't around until John Dalton I believe, around 1800.)
[Sat Oct 07 13:23:10 2006] : (2) GM: (That's somewhat of a misconception - we get the word atom from the greeks - they came up with the concept of a limit to how far you can divide things - the smallest possible unit, they called an atom. It was all theory, mind......)
[Sat Oct 07 13:23:32 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < mhmm. That's where I pull it from ;) >
[Sat Oct 07 13:23:35 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Hmmm, think that's the wrong person.)
[Sat Oct 07 13:23:37 2006] : (2) GM: (And they had absolutely no idea how to go about demonstrating it, or what it could be used for, et cetera....)
[Sat Oct 07 13:24:04 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < this has ntohing to do with what's going on, though. >
[Sat Oct 07 13:24:05 2006] : (1) Kibin: (I think a lot of discoveries like that are made in bathtubs.
[Sat Oct 07 13:24:25 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < so there's another pentagram that I should destroy? >
[Sat Oct 07 13:24:31 2006] : (2) GM: Blob: Ah well, back to getting lose. I had my eye on a little blob of tasty when they bottled me up here....
[Sat Oct 07 13:24:50 2006] : (5) Elorin: A "little blob of tasty"?
[Sat Oct 07 13:24:57 2006] : (2) GM: Blob: Well, there always seems to be another, and another... the one you smashed makes the seventh, and I ought to get started on the eight.
[Sat Oct 07 13:24:59 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "yes, a little blob of tasty."
[Sat Oct 07 13:25:35 2006] : ** (3) Me'hive walks over to the eighth pentagram, careful to keep a close eye on the blob for when he starts growing again. **
[Sat Oct 07 13:25:50 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < shall I make my full attack action?
[Sat Oct 07 13:25:57 2006] : ** (5) Elorin whispers to Me'Hive, "Do you really think it's a good idea to release what seems to be a being of pure negative energy?" **
[Sat Oct 07 13:26:12 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "You have something against pure negative energy?"
[Sat Oct 07 13:26:25 2006] : (5) Elorin: Yeah, it's kinda harmful to living things
[Sat Oct 07 13:26:39 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "But only kind of."
[Sat Oct 07 13:26:41 2006] : (2) GM: Blob: Yeah, a little blob of tasty. It was swimming a little faster than it when those crazy - is that better - mage's pulled me out and trapped me here. They sure fed me lots, though. Kept bleeding me, making me weak. But then one day, they stopped.
[Sat Oct 07 13:27:12 2006] : (2) GM: Blob: And now I have the energy to work on getting out of here.
[Sat Oct 07 13:27:16 2006] : (5) Elorin: Uh, that was an understatement
[Sat Oct 07 13:27:19 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "These mages don't sound like they're very nice people."
[Sat Oct 07 13:27:53 2006] : (2) GM: Blob: Funny though.... they were much bigger the first time I saw them than the last.... and they were much much taller than you, even then.
[Sat Oct 07 13:28:20 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < I'm ready to instantly teleport out of there directly after i deal my last blow to it. >
[Sat Oct 07 13:28:21 2006] : (1) Kibin: They might have been draining negative energy from people, storing it here, then bottling it up for some purpose.
[Sat Oct 07 13:28:23 2006] : (3) Me'hive: Gauntlet Punch
[Sat Oct 07 13:28:24 2006] : (3) Me'hive: Attack: [1d20+21] -> [10,21] = (31)
[Sat Oct 07 13:28:25 2006] : (3) Me'hive: Damage: [1d3+9d6+1d6+26] -> [1,5,2,5,1,3,5,4,2,1,2,26] = (57)
[Sat Oct 07 13:28:26 2006] : (3) Me'hive: Gauntlet Punch
[Sat Oct 07 13:28:27 2006] : (3) Me'hive: Attack: [1d20+11] -> [20,11] = (31)
[Sat Oct 07 13:28:28 2006] : (3) Me'hive: Damage: [1d3+9d6+1d6+26] -> [1,3,6,5,6,1,4,6,4,1,5,26] = (68)
[Sat Oct 07 13:28:30 2006] : (3) Me'hive: Gauntlet Punch
[Sat Oct 07 13:28:31 2006] : (3) Me'hive: Attack: [1d20+16] -> [8,16] = (24)
[Sat Oct 07 13:28:32 2006] : (3) Me'hive: Damage: [1d3+9d6+1d6+26] -> [3,4,3,3,6,6,2,4,1,5,2,26] = (65)
[Sat Oct 07 13:28:33 2006] : (3) Me'hive: Gauntlet Punch
[Sat Oct 07 13:28:34 2006] : (3) Me'hive: Attack: [1d20+21] -> [3,21] = (24)
[Sat Oct 07 13:28:35 2006] : (3) Me'hive: Damage: [1d3+9d6+1d6+26] -> [3,6,5,6,1,4,3,3,5,3,5,26] = (70)
[Sat Oct 07 13:28:36 2006] : (3) Me'hive: totally out of order, but yeah.
[Sat Oct 07 13:28:54 2006] : (3) Me'hive: hands on fire, 4 blows to the pentagram thingy.
[Sat Oct 07 13:28:55 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Incidentally, you can apparently ready a free action. Heh.)
[Sat Oct 07 13:29:10 2006] : (2) GM: And you breach another barrier. This time, the blob only grows a few inches.
[Sat Oct 07 13:29:13 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < yeah... >
[Sat Oct 07 13:29:27 2006] : (2) GM: Oh, and while you can ready a free action, readying an action is still a standard action in and of itself.....
[Sat Oct 07 13:29:41 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Hmmm.)
[Sat Oct 07 13:29:42 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < well, as I stated I teleported the hell out of there after the crushing blow. About 100 feet or so. >
[Sat Oct 07 13:29:51 2006] : (5) Elorin: (or he could just take said action immediately)
[Sat Oct 07 13:30:19 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < isn't free action faster than immediate action? >
[Sat Oct 07 13:30:35 2006] : (3) Me'hive: 
[Sat Oct 07 13:30:39 2006] : (5) Elorin: (I wasn't using the word in its technical D&D sense)
[Sat Oct 07 13:31:01 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Free action can only be taken during your turn(for most of them anyway). Immediate action can be taken at any time, including other people's turns.)
[Sat Oct 07 13:31:21 2006] : (2) GM: The blob stretches and warps a bit, keeping itself on all the existing breaks in the silver, covering the new one, and stretching to start tapping on the next line of silver, another thirty feet away. The thing now looks more like a rod than a blob.... but it's definately of no particular shape.
[Sat Oct 07 13:31:28 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < well, making a fullround attack would have to be on my turn... >
[Sat Oct 07 13:31:43 2006] : (2) GM: However, you only get a single immediate action in a round - because it uses up your next swift action.
[Sat Oct 07 13:32:06 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < gah, all of these other actions I've never even heard of... >
[Sat Oct 07 13:32:19 2006] : (1) Kibin: (An immediate action is the same as a swift action, I think. It's just that immediate actions can be taken anytime, swift only during your turn.)
[Sat Oct 07 13:32:48 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < w/e, I'm not harmed this time around... and I'm gonna go destroy the last stone, too. >
[Sat Oct 07 13:33:03 2006] : (5) Elorin: (and casting a quickened spell was redefined as a swift action when it was introduced)
[Sat Oct 07 13:33:19 2006] : (2) GM: The standing stones, miles away, or breach the next layer of silver?
[Sat Oct 07 13:33:27 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < shit, so I did get out of the way of the blob... >
[Sat Oct 07 13:33:34 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < pardon my frnech...slipped .
[Sat Oct 07 13:33:35 2006] : (5) Elorin: Excuse me, but we haven't all agreed that this is a good idea, Me'Hive.
[Sat Oct 07 13:33:43 2006] : ** (3) Me'hive stops. **
[Sat Oct 07 13:34:10 2006] : (2) GM: Blob: Wait... you want me to stay trapped in this boring hell-hole? But..... but.....
[Sat Oct 07 13:34:19 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "Oh? Alright, lets debate this while this here poor blob of negative energy is trapped against his or her will in a magical trap set for him by legendary, and seemingly evil mages."
[Sat Oct 07 13:34:29 2006] : (1) Kibin: Yeah, what if destroying all the seals makes this blob expand continuously over the countryside, eventually enveloping the world in a great big blob of black...
[Sat Oct 07 13:34:50 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "Meh, it could happen."
[Sat Oct 07 13:35:01 2006] : (5) Elorin: I'm concerned about what this blob might do once it's free.
[Sat Oct 07 13:35:05 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "And I could turn into a Dragon right here and now..."
[Sat Oct 07 13:35:36 2006] : (2) GM: Blob: Nah, I just want to do what any other blob would do. Eat, grow, maybe split a few times...... although that would take a nice clean edge.
[Sat Oct 07 13:35:38 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < obvious sarcasm, there... >
[Sat Oct 07 13:35:54 2006] : (5) Elorin: And what do you eat?
[Sat Oct 07 13:36:25 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "Little blobs of tasty, of course"
[Sat Oct 07 13:36:33 2006] : ** (3) Me'hive chuckles. **
[Sat Oct 07 13:36:34 2006] : (1) Kibin: Um, aren't most blobs non-intelligent?
[Sat Oct 07 13:36:50 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < obviously not... this one seems smart enough >
[Sat Oct 07 13:37:28 2006] : (2) GM: Blob: Tasty things. I try not to eat my friends any. Sorry about that, by the way. You surprised me when you charged me... or, wait, no... absolutists..... when I suddenly grew. Sorry, have a bit of trouble with the whole idea of "other". Been alone for a long time.
[Sat Oct 07 13:37:55 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "Haha, no biggy."
[Sat Oct 07 13:38:08 2006] : (2) GM: Blob: You sure you'll be all right?
[Sat Oct 07 13:38:16 2006] : (5) Elorin: And what kinds of things are tasty for you?
[Sat Oct 07 13:38:21 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "yeah, no problem. Just walk it off later."
[Sat Oct 07 13:38:40 2006] : (2) GM: Blob: The things I see easily.
[Sat Oct 07 13:38:51 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Before or after the fortitude saves to keep those negative levels permanently? :P)
[Sat Oct 07 13:38:55 2006] : (2) GM: Blob: Well, okay, see doesn't quite fit... silly language......
[Sat Oct 07 13:39:09 2006] : (2) GM: Blob: Still, it's what you use.
[Sat Oct 07 13:39:26 2006] : (1) Kibin: Sense, you mean?
[Sat Oct 07 13:39:30 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < once i get back to somewhere I'll get rid of the negative levels. >
[Sat Oct 07 13:39:35 2006] : (2) GM: Blob: Close enough.
[Sat Oct 07 13:39:41 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Or Elorin could just do it...)
[Sat Oct 07 13:39:49 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < yes, eplase do... >
[Sat Oct 07 13:39:59 2006] : (3) Me'hive: 
[Sat Oct 07 13:40:25 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < I'll imbue your armor or weapon with +5 if you do :D >
[Sat Oct 07 13:40:33 2006] : (2) GM: Blob: The bars are very easy to see, the ground almost impossible.
[Sat Oct 07 13:40:43 2006] : (5) Elorin: (sorry, I can do that myself quite easily)
[Sat Oct 07 13:40:44 2006] : (1) Kibin: Kaylin, maybe you could gate him to the negative energy plane or something like that?
[Sat Oct 07 13:40:47 2006] : (6) Katsuro: (Back - What's been happenning?)
[Sat Oct 07 13:40:56 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Yeah, he has Greater Magic Weapon too.)
[Sat Oct 07 13:41:10 2006] : (2) GM: (Divine Caster + Greater Magic Weapon + Bead of Karma=+5 weapons pretty much constantly)
[Sat Oct 07 13:41:12 2006] : (5) Elorin: (and do routinely)
[Sat Oct 07 13:41:19 2006] : (3) Me'hive: 
[Sat Oct 07 13:41:52 2006] : (2) GM: Blob: You're easy to see too, but you probably don't want to hear that.
[Sat Oct 07 13:42:03 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < real quick, would polymorph give me any health or reduce negative levels? >
[Sat Oct 07 13:42:16 2006] : (2) GM: Blob: Hey... you don't see the way I do... what do I look like? I've never been able to see myself.
[Sat Oct 07 13:42:18 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "No, I don't imagine I would..."
[Sat Oct 07 13:42:27 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "Well, I'll let you nkow right now I'm not tasty -_-"
[Sat Oct 07 13:42:41 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "Well, you're very...round."
[Sat Oct 07 13:42:43 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "and black."
[Sat Oct 07 13:42:46 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "and BIG"
[Sat Oct 07 13:42:51 2006] : (1) Kibin: A black blob of... blobbyness.
[Sat Oct 07 13:43:00 2006] : (2) GM: Polymorph would not remove negative levels, no. It does, however, give you HP (only) as a night of rest.
[Sat Oct 07 13:43:23 2006] : (2) GM: So at 18th, a Polymorph will heal 18 HP of damage.
[Sat Oct 07 13:43:26 2006] : (1) Kibin: That somehow can talk.
[Sat Oct 07 13:43:41 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < okay, that's cool >
[Sat Oct 07 13:43:55 2006] : (5) Elorin: So we're easy to see. What about wild animals, like rabbits and wolves and such?
[Sat Oct 07 13:44:00 2006] : (2) GM: Blob: Oh, that.... I just shake the curiously thin water around me. It ripples out. You do the same thing.
[Sat Oct 07 13:44:02 2006] : (6) Katsuro: (Gone again.)
[Sat Oct 07 13:44:32 2006] : (2) GM: Blob: What's an animal? Or a ribbit, or a wolf?
[Sat Oct 07 13:44:48 2006] : (2) GM: Jason: What about me?
[Sat Oct 07 13:44:53 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "Well, it looks sort of furry."
[Sat Oct 07 13:45:06 2006] : (1) Kibin: And tasty.
[Sat Oct 07 13:45:08 2006] : ** (3) Me'hive pokes Jason **
[Sat Oct 07 13:45:11 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "Yeah, what about jason?"
[Sat Oct 07 13:45:29 2006] : (2) GM: Blob: What about who now? I think I missed something.
[Sat Oct 07 13:45:40 2006] : (2) GM: Blob: Which one of you is Jason?
[Sat Oct 07 13:45:43 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "Yeah, he's probably too hard for you see."
[Sat Oct 07 13:45:56 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "He's the one that's white and floating in mid air."
[Sat Oct 07 13:46:12 2006] : (2) GM: Blob: You're all on the ground.
[Sat Oct 07 13:46:13 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "Really hard for even me to see, so i don't even think that you have the ability to."
[Sat Oct 07 13:46:52 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < curious, if I were to go into the ground, or even becoem a vaporous form, would he still be able to se me? >
[Sat Oct 07 13:46:58 2006] : (2) GM: Blob: And I don't get the... "white"... what's that word mean? Oh, wait... I remember hearing something about that... something to do with skin?
[Sat Oct 07 13:47:09 2006] : (2) GM: (One way to find out)
[Sat Oct 07 13:47:16 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Is everyone on the silver bars?)
[Sat Oct 07 13:47:20 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "It's a color. Some creatures have it, some don't."
[Sat Oct 07 13:47:31 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "Hey, let me nkow if you can still see me."
[Sat Oct 07 13:47:33 2006] : (2) GM: Blob: Ah. If you say so.
[Sat Oct 07 13:47:37 2006] : ** (3) Me'hive turns into a Gaseous Form. **
[Sat Oct 07 13:47:51 2006] : (2) GM: Blob: Hey! You can change your shape like I do!
[Sat Oct 07 13:48:03 2006] : ** (3) Me'hive returns to normal form. **
[Sat Oct 07 13:48:06 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "yes...yes I can."
[Sat Oct 07 13:48:13 2006] : ** (3) Me'hive looks rther disappointed. **
[Sat Oct 07 13:48:26 2006] : (5) Elorin: Hmm, should I go hunting for a rabbit or something to show this thing what one is?
[Sat Oct 07 13:48:30 2006] : ** (1) Kibin hovers off the ground to see something. "Can you still see me?" **
[Sat Oct 07 13:48:40 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "Yes, Elorin, please do."
[Sat Oct 07 13:48:46 2006] : (1) Kibin: Eh, I can just show him.
[Sat Oct 07 13:48:54 2006] : (2) GM: Blob: Yeah. You're concentrated.
[Sat Oct 07 13:49:34 2006] : (5) Elorin: (no, you can show him what a dragon in an alternate rabbit form is like. There's a big difference between that and an actual rabbit)
[Sat Oct 07 13:49:51 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Maybe, but that's not what sight tells you. x.x)
[Sat Oct 07 13:49:59 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < are you takling about like a golden dragon or something? >
[Sat Oct 07 13:50:17 2006] : (5) Elorin: (we've already established that "see" isn't entirely accurate for this things perceptions)
[Sat Oct 07 13:50:26 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < because if so then alternate form is only as a human, I believe. >
[Sat Oct 07 13:50:45 2006] : (2) GM: (so, changing form? As a silver, and with the method he became one, he has the Alternate Form ability..... and it covers humanoids and animals of medium or smaller size.)
[Sat Oct 07 13:51:01 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < oh, ok. >
[Sat Oct 07 13:51:10 2006] : (2) GM: (So no Dire Wold or T-Rex, but a wolf or rabbit is within range.)
[Sat Oct 07 13:51:13 2006] : (5) Elorin: Hang on a bit, I'll see if I can go find an appropriate animal to show.
[Sat Oct 07 13:51:19 2006] : (5) Elorin: Elorin casts Wind Walk ( level 6, "You and your allies turn vaporous and travel fast" )
[Sat Oct 07 13:51:20 2006] : (5) Elorin: Elorin casts Level 6 Spell ( level 6, "Spell slot tracking device" )
[Sat Oct 07 13:51:27 2006] : ** (5) Elorin heads off to the forest to hunt **
[Sat Oct 07 13:51:40 2006] : (2) GM: Blob: Yeay! I always knew everyone was like me.
[Sat Oct 07 13:51:45 2006] : (2) GM: Survival check?
[Sat Oct 07 13:51:51 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "Haha, not quite, friend."
[Sat Oct 07 13:51:53 2006] : (5) Elorin: (no ranks in survival, but it's wisdom based and hunting doesn't require training, so...)
[Sat Oct 07 13:52:00 2006] : ** (1) Kibin hmms, and lands again. He lets Elorin find an animal to show him, Alternate Form isn't that complete. **
[Sat Oct 07 13:52:05 2006] : (5) Elorin: Wis check: [1d20+11] -> [14,11] = (25)
[Sat Oct 07 13:52:28 2006] : (5) Elorin: (try to capture something alive)
[Sat Oct 07 13:52:33 2006] : (1) Kibin: Um, Blobby? Not everyone can change their shape. They're usually pretty solid.
[Sat Oct 07 13:52:46 2006] : ** (3) Me'hive knocks on his head **
[Sat Oct 07 13:52:50 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "I'm pretty solid..."
[Sat Oct 07 13:52:51 2006] : (2) GM: And you manage to locate a brown rabbit. What method of capture are you attempting?
[Sat Oct 07 13:53:02 2006] : (2) GM: Blob: I'm solid too!
[Sat Oct 07 13:53:14 2006] : (2) GM: The blob forms a pseudopod, and taps itself with it.
[Sat Oct 07 13:53:18 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "Not really...more blobby."
[Sat Oct 07 13:53:27 2006] : (5) Elorin: (uh, I'd sort of just assumed the survival check would include that)
[Sat Oct 07 13:53:32 2006] : (2) GM: Blob: You guys keep changing shapes.
[Sat Oct 07 13:53:49 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "Yes, great thing called magic. One day you'll learn all about it!"
[Sat Oct 07 13:54:10 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "Although, it's that very concept that trapped you here to begin with, so i don't know..."
[Sat Oct 07 13:54:12 2006] : (1) Kibin: I think he's refering to joints.
[Sat Oct 07 13:54:21 2006] : (2) GM: Have anything that could be used to make a sturdy net, or a snare, or.... and so on. Normal use of Survival is hunting and tracking.....
[Sat Oct 07 13:54:42 2006] : (5) Elorin: (well, I have some rope)
[Sat Oct 07 13:54:43 2006] : (2) GM: Which isn't particularly worried about the survival of your prey.
[Sat Oct 07 13:54:48 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < lasso! >
[Sat Oct 07 13:55:05 2006] : (2) GM: Okay, you form a lasso out of it. Attack roll?
[Sat Oct 07 13:55:08 2006] : (5) Elorin: (100 feet of it, silk)
[Sat Oct 07 13:55:16 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < do I know where she is or is she too far away to tell? >
[Sat Oct 07 13:55:18 2006] : (2) GM: Masterwork lasso.
[Sat Oct 07 13:55:50 2006] : (5) Elorin: [1d20+28] -> [16,28] = (44)
[Sat Oct 07 13:55:54 2006] : (2) GM: Kaylin? She's just standing around in the background. All other party members are listed as male.
[Sat Oct 07 13:56:13 2006] : (2) GM: And Elorin successfully comes back with a rabbit tring to escape his lasso.
[Sat Oct 07 13:56:18 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < oh, sorry. I thought Elorin was a female =/ >
[Sat Oct 07 13:56:27 2006] : (2) GM: (Nah, he's a male elf)
[Sat Oct 07 13:56:37 2006] : (2) GM: And he finds the rabbit... [1d4] -> [2] = (2) miles away.
[Sat Oct 07 13:56:38 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < ok, sorry bout that... >
[Sat Oct 07 13:56:55 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "Ah, and this here is a rabbit. Can you see it?"
[Sat Oct 07 13:56:59 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "Does it look tasty?"
[Sat Oct 07 13:57:08 2006] : ** (3) Me'hive 's stomache grumbles... **
[Sat Oct 07 13:57:18 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "I'm gettin kinda hungry =/ "
[Sat Oct 07 13:57:24 2006] : (2) GM: Blob: Looks tasty. Can't see it as well as you, but it looks tasty. Kinda small.
[Sat Oct 07 13:57:51 2006] : (2) GM: Blob: But then, I suppose I was small once, too. By your reconing.
[Sat Oct 07 13:58:09 2006] : (5) Elorin: Is it harder to see because it's small, or for some other reason?
[Sat Oct 07 13:58:13 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "Well, smaller..."
[Sat Oct 07 13:58:44 2006] : (2) GM: Blob: Well, there's not much of it there. Even though it is all packed in one little spot.
[Sat Oct 07 13:58:54 2006] : (1) Kibin: Can you see the ground above you?
[Sat Oct 07 13:59:18 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < well, he can't see the ground below, so he probably can't see anything above, either. >
[Sat Oct 07 13:59:59 2006] : (2) GM: Blob: Well, there used to be stuff above me. Kept pushing it out of the way. Could see it better than the stuff beneath me. But now? There's nothing for miles and miles.... well, except the little concentrations of tasty stuff running around.
[Sat Oct 07 14:00:27 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "You know, you'd be a great person to go hunting with."
[Sat Oct 07 14:00:40 2006] : (3) Me'hive: to the group "Can I let him out, now?"
[Sat Oct 07 14:00:42 2006] : (2) GM: Blob: Funny how they manage to swim in this too-thin not-water.
[Sat Oct 07 14:00:44 2006] : (1) Kibin: Ah, so you can see living things kind of, and can feel things I think...
[Sat Oct 07 14:02:24 2006] : (5) Elorin: I'm still not entirely comfortable with the idea of releasing it here, but maybe there's another option. It's made of negative energy, so maybe it would find the negative energy plane a good home?
[Sat Oct 07 14:02:30 2006] : (5) Elorin: Kaylin, got Gate prepared?
[Sat Oct 07 14:02:52 2006] : ** (1) Kibin says to the blob, "That's because they're standing on something, or able to fly." He picks up a rock and pokes the blob with tit, being careful not to touch the blob, to demonstrate. "That's what we're standing on." **
[Sat Oct 07 14:03:00 2006] : (5) Elorin: And any thoughts on the matter (with her extreme knowledge skills)?
[Sat Oct 07 14:03:19 2006] : (1) Kibin: (It, not tit.)
[Sat Oct 07 14:03:33 2006] : (2) GM: Kaylin: No, just a crushing hand and a bit of a wail.
[Sat Oct 07 14:03:49 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "I say we let it out. After all, it was kept here for over a millenia by itself against its will, for a reason that only benefitted the mages."
[Sat Oct 07 14:04:04 2006] : (2) GM: Blob: Well, yeah, I can see that. It's just really really dim. There's almost nothing to eat in it.
[Sat Oct 07 14:04:31 2006] : (1) Kibin: Ah. That's probally because it's not alive.
[Sat Oct 07 14:05:22 2006] : (5) Elorin: (too bad I'm not level 20 yet, I'm fairly sure my final 9th level spell known will be Gate :( )
[Sat Oct 07 14:05:27 2006] : (2) GM: Kaylin: Well... I'm not sure it would actually find the negative energy plain useful. It can't even see Jason. I doubt it would find anything to eat. And I'd be worried it would... well, the Positive Energy plane is one of the most hostile of them.
[Sat Oct 07 14:05:43 2006] : (3) Me'hive: 
[Sat Oct 07 14:05:54 2006] : (5) Elorin: Hmm, true
[Sat Oct 07 14:06:02 2006] : (2) GM: (Fun thing... Wish doesn't do Gate...)
[Sat Oct 07 14:06:32 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < it should have something that'll do something similar, though... >
[Sat Oct 07 14:06:39 2006] : (2) GM: Blob: Hmm.... are there more of you somewhere that aren't friends? That be a good place to let me go.
[Sat Oct 07 14:07:01 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "Haha, I know of lots of places!"
[Sat Oct 07 14:07:08 2006] : (2) GM: (it does have a travel option, mind, in the safe list, that functions similarly to the travel option of gate...)
[Sat Oct 07 14:07:31 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < see... >
[Sat Oct 07 14:07:36 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < muahahah! >
[Sat Oct 07 14:08:15 2006] : (2) GM: Blob: You're very tasty, but you seem nice, so I don't want to eat you.
[Sat Oct 07 14:08:17 2006] : (5) Elorin: You mean people? That you might eat them is my main concern about releasing you.
[Sat Oct 07 14:08:24 2006] : (2) GM: (Ah, there it is.... Transport travelers. A wish can lift one creature per caster level from anywhere on any plane and place those creatures anywhere else on any plane regardless of local conditions. An unwilling target gets a Will save to negate the effect, and spell resistance (if any) applies."
[Sat Oct 07 14:08:37 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < yeah, was reading that. >
[Sat Oct 07 14:09:02 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "Well, unless otherwise told by someone you know and trust, you shouldn't eat anything that seems like us."
[Sat Oct 07 14:09:41 2006] : (2) GM: Blob: Oh. But I need to eat almost constantly.....
[Sat Oct 07 14:09:48 2006] : (1) Kibin: Yeah, tasty things are probally liable to hurt you back.
[Sat Oct 07 14:10:00 2006] : (1) Kibin: Doesn't... whatever you're standing on feed you?
[Sat Oct 07 14:11:06 2006] : (2) GM: Blob: This thing that's trapping me? A bit. Enough that I don't starve, anyway. But I can't exactly stay here forever, and each time I break the next line, the others don't give me as much. I've all but given up on the first three....
[Sat Oct 07 14:11:16 2006] : (2) GM: Blob: So how big is this thing, anyway?
[Sat Oct 07 14:11:54 2006] : (2) GM: Blob: There's lots of little stuff in the way for seeing it after the area you dug out. I can't tell how far it goes.
[Sat Oct 07 14:12:14 2006] : (1) Kibin: Probally a thousand more of those lines or so, I think.
[Sat Oct 07 14:12:28 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < can I make a knowledge arcana against this thing to see if it really is a blob or just momentarily formed that way or something because of the mages? >
[Sat Oct 07 14:12:32 2006] : (1) Kibin: A few thousand, at least. It goes out pretty far.
[Sat Oct 07 14:12:43 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < or something? >
[Sat Oct 07 14:13:05 2006] : (2) GM: Kaylin: Well, no, each one is further apart than the last..... probably no more than 13 total, if the four mile marked sides are the end, which they seem to be.
[Sat Oct 07 14:13:20 2006] : (2) GM: (If you like)
[Sat Oct 07 14:13:28 2006] : (3) Me'hive: Knowledge (Arcana): [1d20+24] -> [18,24] = (42)
[Sat Oct 07 14:13:37 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < haha, a good roll! >
[Sat Oct 07 14:13:42 2006] : (1) Kibin: (How big is this blob?)
[Sat Oct 07 14:13:45 2006] : (2) GM: (Or spellcraft, as it's held in place by something like a spell effect)
[Sat Oct 07 14:13:47 2006] : (3) Me'hive: v and I know nothing -_- >
[Sat Oct 07 14:13:57 2006] : (1) Kibin: Knowledge: Arcana Skill Check: [1d20+5] -> [14,5] = (19)
[Sat Oct 07 14:14:03 2006] : (3) Me'hive: Spellcraft: [34] -> 34
[Sat Oct 07 14:14:08 2006] : (1) Kibin: (See if I know anything about it, which I probally won't.)
[Sat Oct 07 14:14:23 2006] : (3) Me'hive: 
[Sat Oct 07 14:14:30 2006] : (2) GM: Currently? It's stretching out about 65 feet. All rolled up into a ball, it's about 25 feet or so across.
[Sat Oct 07 14:14:54 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < haha, that's bigger than my room! O,O >
[Sat Oct 07 14:14:56 2006] : whispering to Me'hive, You're pretty sure it's naturally a blob... if anything about this thing can be called natural.
[Sat Oct 07 14:15:15 2006] : (3) Me'hive (whispering): hmm...an intelligent blob, eh?
[Sat Oct 07 14:15:29 2006] : (2) GM: Anyone feel like making a Knoweledge(Nature) check?
[Sat Oct 07 14:15:39 2006] : (1) Kibin: Knowledge: Nature Skill Check: [1d20+5] -> [19,5] = (24)
[Sat Oct 07 14:15:51 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Why is it that I'm rolling above average lately? O.o)
[Sat Oct 07 14:15:57 2006] : whispering to Me'hive, That appears to eat life.... and seems rather hungry.
[Sat Oct 07 14:16:05 2006] : (5) Elorin: (Kaylin?)
[Sat Oct 07 14:16:07 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < because I'm here, of course ;) >
[Sat Oct 07 14:16:28 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < wait, do we still have the bunny? >
[Sat Oct 07 14:16:33 2006] : whispering to Kibin, The thing in some ways resembles a really little critter that you saw through a curious arrangement of lenses, once.....
[Sat Oct 07 14:16:38 2006] : (5) Elorin: (yes)
[Sat Oct 07 14:16:40 2006] : (2) GM: Yeah, nothing's been done with it.
[Sat Oct 07 14:16:49 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < alright, hang on...I wanan try something. >
[Sat Oct 07 14:17:40 2006] : (1) Kibin: Looks almost like something I saw through a bunch of lenses...
[Sat Oct 07 14:17:42 2006] : whispering to Kibin, It was just kind of floating around on the thin sheet of glass......
[Sat Oct 07 14:17:44 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < okay, how big can I make it using the baleful polymorph spell? >
[Sat Oct 07 14:18:18 2006] : (6) Katsuro: (Back for a bit - What's up?)
[Sat Oct 07 14:18:29 2006] : (2) GM: ("Small or smaller")
[Sat Oct 07 14:18:37 2006] : (1) Kibin: (A tiny animal into a small animal or less? :P)
[Sat Oct 07 14:18:48 2006] : (1) Kibin: (And an animal, as well as being harmless.)
[Sat Oct 07 14:19:00 2006] : (1) Kibin: (They sadly fixed it so that you couldn't turn anything into anything. Heh.)
[Sat Oct 07 14:19:27 2006] : (2) GM: (and with 1 HD or less)
[Sat Oct 07 14:19:30 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < not from what d20srd is telling me... >
[Sat Oct 07 14:19:43 2006] : (6) Katsuro: (And gone again...)
[Sat Oct 07 14:19:45 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < I'm sorry, I meant polymorph any object... >
[Sat Oct 07 14:19:56 2006] : (1) Kibin: ("You change the subject into a Small or smaller animal of no more than 1 HD (such as a dog, lizard, monkey, or toad).")
[Sat Oct 07 14:20:03 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < I'm sorry, I meant polymorph any object... >
[Sat Oct 07 14:20:20 2006] : (1) Kibin: (That, then, pretty much anything in the hitdie limits.)
[Sat Oct 07 14:20:42 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < doesn't seem to be any hit die limits, though... >
[Sat Oct 07 14:20:46 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < that's why I'm asking >
[Sat Oct 07 14:21:05 2006] : (1) Kibin: (It inherits everything from polymorph.)
[Sat Oct 07 14:21:07 2006] : (2) GM: Inherited from Polymorph - limited to the HD of the original subject - which, for a rabbit, is 1.
[Sat Oct 07 14:21:22 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Why polymorphing into a gold dragon to prepare your spells actually hurts you instead of helping. :)
[Sat Oct 07 14:21:24 2006] : (6) Katsuro: (And back again...)
[Sat Oct 07 14:21:26 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < well, all I wanna do is make it a bigger rabbit... >
[Sat Oct 07 14:21:35 2006] : (2) GM: Also limited to your caster level, but the HD limit of the subject is laible to trump things in this case.
[Sat Oct 07 14:21:42 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Hmmm, limited by the subject's hitdie, never noticed that...)
[Sat Oct 07 14:21:51 2006] : (2) GM: Which would be an improved rabbit, and thus have more HD.
[Sat Oct 07 14:22:36 2006] : (2) GM: You could maybe PaO it into a Baboon, making it Medium.
[Sat Oct 07 14:22:38 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < wait, that doesn't make any sense...one of the examples it gives is to turn a pebble into a human... >
[Sat Oct 07 14:22:40 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Hehe. Colossal rabbits.)
[Sat Oct 07 14:22:55 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < a human has more HD than a pebble. >
[Sat Oct 07 14:23:12 2006] : (2) GM: (but the commoner-1 thus produced has considerably fewer HP)
[Sat Oct 07 14:23:28 2006] : (1) Kibin: (But the pebble has no hitdie. :P)
[Sat Oct 07 14:23:54 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < grr...this is confusing. >
[Sat Oct 07 14:23:58 2006] : (2) GM: (The spell is poorly written, yes)
[Sat Oct 07 14:24:19 2006] : (1) Kibin: (That, and a human has no hitdie.)
[Sat Oct 07 14:24:33 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < I'm gonan trade that tattoo for a scroll of wish. >
[Sat Oct 07 14:24:57 2006] : (2) GM: What's the point of the excersize in changing the rabbit?
[Sat Oct 07 14:25:22 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < I wanted to see what the difference in his percenption of the rabbit was afterwords."
[Sat Oct 07 14:25:41 2006] : (2) GM: Reasonable.
[Sat Oct 07 14:26:19 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < okay, I'm gonna go ahead and cast Wish on the blob, transporting him to...oh say...the negative energy plane? >
[Sat Oct 07 14:26:48 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < better yet... >
[Sat Oct 07 14:26:57 2006] : (5) Elorin: (uh, Kaylin just said that might kill him, remember? Have you changed your mind that much?)
[Sat Oct 07 14:27:18 2006] : (5) Elorin: (not that I really object IC)
[Sat Oct 07 14:27:22 2006] : (2) GM: So who is taking what action?
[Sat Oct 07 14:27:24 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < no, I missed that part... >
[Sat Oct 07 14:27:38 2006] : (1) Kibin: Jason, can you cast eneveration on him, seeing what that energy does to him?
[Sat Oct 07 14:27:42 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < well, what plane of existance should I send him to? >
[Sat Oct 07 14:27:57 2006] : (2) GM: Jason: Yeah, sure.
[Sat Oct 07 14:28:13 2006] : (5) Elorin: (wouldn't make any difference, I think)
[Sat Oct 07 14:28:24 2006] : (2) GM: Evervation, Level 4: 1d4 neagative levels, close ranged touch attack, no save, SR. nagative levels: [1d4] -> [2] = (2)
[Sat Oct 07 14:28:31 2006] : (5) Elorin: (do you know what happens to living creatures on the positive energy plane?)
[Sat Oct 07 14:28:34 2006] : (1) Kibin: (How about none? He seems nice enough, and we could probally just release him on the wild...)
[Sat Oct 07 14:28:48 2006] : (5) Elorin: (they pop from an overdose of positive energy)
[Sat Oct 07 14:28:53 2006] : (2) GM: The spell seems to vanish shortly before hitting the beast.
[Sat Oct 07 14:28:55 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Hehe.)
[Sat Oct 07 14:29:03 2006] : (1) Kibin: (They go kablammy!)
[Sat Oct 07 14:29:05 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < that's because they're not made of positive energy... >
[Sat Oct 07 14:29:19 2006] : (1) Kibin: (This isn't made out of positive energy either. :P)
[Sat Oct 07 14:29:22 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < and appearantly the spell does nothing to him whatsoever... >
[Sat Oct 07 14:29:44 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < yeah, but he is made of negative energy. >
[Sat Oct 07 14:30:12 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "Mr Blob, do you know of any of the planes of existance outside of this one?"
[Sat Oct 07 14:30:23 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Lets see here. Put a being of pure negative energy in a field of positive energy. What happens?)
[Sat Oct 07 14:30:28 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "Maybe have heard something about it from the mages over a millenia ago or something?"
[Sat Oct 07 14:30:40 2006] : (6) Katsuro: (KA-BLOOIEY!)
[Sat Oct 07 14:30:49 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < which is why I'm not sending him there. >
[Sat Oct 07 14:31:01 2006] : (2) GM: Blob: Umm... the mages never answered any of my questions. They said something about planes, but never told me what they were.
[Sat Oct 07 14:31:06 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < negative
[Sat Oct 07 14:31:11 2006] : (1) Kibin: (No, it's more like a positive charge meeting a negative charge.)
[Sat Oct 07 14:31:29 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "darn."
[Sat Oct 07 14:31:32 2006] : (1) Kibin: (They cancel each other out.)
[Sat Oct 07 14:32:00 2006] : (1) Kibin: Are you going to expand any further if the rest of the seals are broken?
[Sat Oct 07 14:32:10 2006] : (2) GM: (Have you ever connected the positive and negative terminals on a small battery? Or a large battery? Or a wall outlet?)
[Sat Oct 07 14:32:26 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Oh, yeah, there's that. Heh.)
[Sat Oct 07 14:32:28 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "Yeah, thinkin I should destroy the seals before transporting him to any planes of existance. >
[Sat Oct 07 14:32:33 2006] : (1) Kibin: (I've actually done the wall outlet one. x.x)
[Sat Oct 07 14:32:49 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "How about Limbo?"
[Sat Oct 07 14:32:54 2006] : (2) GM: Blob: I grow as I eat.
[Sat Oct 07 14:33:01 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "He might have fun, there :D >
[Sat Oct 07 14:33:05 2006] : (1) Kibin: Hanging in limbo seems kind of boring.
[Sat Oct 07 14:33:20 2006] : (2) GM: Blob: Or everything else shrinks. Hey, I'm getting the hang of this "perspective" thing, I think.
[Sat Oct 07 14:33:40 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "Haha, you had it right the first time."
[Sat Oct 07 14:34:36 2006] : (2) GM: Blob: I had been getting a bit cramped. Part of the reason I have to get out of here eventually. It keeps shrinking. Now that I know how to get out, well, I just need to keep working on it.
[Sat Oct 07 14:34:56 2006] : (2) GM: Blob: Sooner or later, one of us is going down. And I think it's the walls.
[Sat Oct 07 14:35:17 2006] : (1) Kibin: But since the flow of food reduces as you kill the walls, wouldn't you starve to death before you broke all of them?
[Sat Oct 07 14:35:19 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "See, he'll get out eventually, anyways. Why not get him to a nice environment where he can thrive?"
[Sat Oct 07 14:35:38 2006] : (1) Kibin: And the negative energy plane has no food for him...
[Sat Oct 07 14:36:02 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < but the positive energy plane is too much food for him. >
[Sat Oct 07 14:36:18 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < lets send him to the celestial plane... >
[Sat Oct 07 14:36:31 2006] : (2) GM: Blob: Nah, each successive wall holds a bit more food than the last. Sure, the previous ones slow down.... but not as much as the new one speeds up. I'll get out. Eventually.
[Sat Oct 07 14:36:37 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Yeah, sure, let him consume some angels or whatever. x.x)
[Sat Oct 07 14:36:45 2006] : (1) Kibin: Ah.
[Sat Oct 07 14:37:04 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < yeah, i wanna let him consume angels. >
[Sat Oct 07 14:37:06 2006] : (2) GM: Blob: Hey, earlier... you did something.
[Sat Oct 07 14:37:20 2006] : (1) Kibin: (*wonders briefly what level drain would do to a simulacrum.*)
[Sat Oct 07 14:37:28 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < jk, I wanna send him there so that they can do something with him. >
[Sat Oct 07 14:37:40 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Like, oh, say, obliterate him? :P)
[Sat Oct 07 14:37:48 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < and who's he talking to when he says that someone did something? >
[Sat Oct 07 14:38:04 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < and they won't obliterate him if he's not evil. >
[Sat Oct 07 14:38:17 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < they'll just send him where they believe would be a good home. >
[Sat Oct 07 14:38:29 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < and if he IS evil, then I say let him be obliterated. >
[Sat Oct 07 14:38:43 2006] : (1) Kibin: (And if he detects as evil yet isn't evil?)
[Sat Oct 07 14:38:45 2006] : (2) GM: Blob: It just occured to me... you used something else to touch me. It was hard and pointy..... pushed in more than something round would....
[Sat Oct 07 14:39:11 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "was that me or a rock?"
[Sat Oct 07 14:39:33 2006] : (1) Kibin: No, that was Jason. Hmmm... Elorin, do you have some type of weak positive energy effect?
[Sat Oct 07 14:39:54 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "I do."
[Sat Oct 07 14:40:09 2006] : (5) Elorin: Hmm, how about a Cure Minor Wounds
[Sat Oct 07 14:40:11 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < although it's actually rather potent, and might kill him =/ "
[Sat Oct 07 14:40:13 2006] : (5) Elorin: Elorin casts Cure Minoir Wounds ( level 0, "Cures 1 point of damage" )
[Sat Oct 07 14:40:15 2006] : (5) Elorin: Elorin casts Level 0 Spell ( level 0, "Spell slot tracking device" )
[Sat Oct 07 14:40:25 2006] : (2) GM: Blob: No, I'm reffering to the little bit of .. you called it ground, I think.... that you poked into me. I wonder....
[Sat Oct 07 14:40:28 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Yeah, that's smart, touch him why don't you.)
[Sat Oct 07 14:40:36 2006] : (2) GM: It's also touch range. You sure?
[Sat Oct 07 14:40:44 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < and now you're stuck in his blobbiness. >
[Sat Oct 07 14:41:24 2006] : (5) Elorin: (maybe not)
[Sat Oct 07 14:41:33 2006] : (3) Me'hive: 
[Sat Oct 07 14:41:47 2006] : (2) GM: Not usually, no.
[Sat Oct 07 14:41:57 2006] : (2) GM: They are their own thing.
[Sat Oct 07 14:42:04 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < what would i use to get rid of negative levels, then? >
[Sat Oct 07 14:42:17 2006] : (2) GM: And interestingly, not all negative levels are from negative energy.....
[Sat Oct 07 14:42:30 2006] : (2) GM: Cleric spells. Restoration, I think.
[Sat Oct 07 14:42:33 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Really? Hmmm.)
[Sat Oct 07 14:42:52 2006] : (5) Elorin: (which, unfortunately, has a 100 gp material component)
[Sat Oct 07 14:43:04 2006] : (5) Elorin: (I've got 4 of it on hand, but still)
[Sat Oct 07 14:43:26 2006] : (3) Me'hive: 
[Sat Oct 07 14:43:39 2006] : (2) GM: (Yes, it's amusing that, strictly speaking, a Holy Axiomatic +1 Longsword picked up by an CE Commoner-2 causes a Wight to form due to negative levels infliced on the commoner )
[Sat Oct 07 14:43:57 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Hehe.)
[Sat Oct 07 14:43:59 2006] : (2) GM: (Yes, but does he have diamond dust on hand, is the question.....)
[Sat Oct 07 14:44:09 2006] : (1) Kibin: (I wonder how many store clerks in magic shops died due to that...)
[Sat Oct 07 14:44:11 2006] : (5) Elorin: (400 gp worth of it)
[Sat Oct 07 14:44:51 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < all of the ones that were artificers didn't :P >
[Sat Oct 07 14:44:57 2006] : (5) Elorin: (so, going to ask IC or do I have to make a spot/heal check to notice you look drained or something?)
[Sat Oct 07 14:45:21 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < wouldn't I already nkow if I am drained or not? >
[Sat Oct 07 14:45:23 2006] : (2) GM: (with enough work, an intelligent Holy Axiomatic +5 Flaming Longsword could get a CE patsy down five or more neagitve levels.....)
[Sat Oct 07 14:45:31 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < 34 on spellcraft, after all. >
[Sat Oct 07 14:45:34 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Some of your memories missing, yeah.)
[Sat Oct 07 14:45:41 2006] : (5) Elorin: (you would, I might not)
[Sat Oct 07 14:45:45 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Experience is basically experiences and memories.)
[Sat Oct 07 14:46:03 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "Hey, I'm a little bit drained, here. Wanna cast Greater Restoration on me or something?"
[Sat Oct 07 14:46:12 2006] : (2) GM: Well, you've felt the drain of your vital energies, and Elorin overheard the discussion of accidentally eating you/not healthy/ et cetera while Me'hive doesn't have any obvious damage....
[Sat Oct 07 14:46:44 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < haha, 2+2 equals pheti >
[Sat Oct 07 14:47:10 2006] : (5) Elorin: A normal Restoration should do, but diamond dust is expensive. Are you sure it's necessary?
[Sat Oct 07 14:47:12 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Mindwipe bestows negative levels, and it doesn't remove any life energy, just wipes the mind of past experiences.)
[Sat Oct 07 14:47:44 2006] : (2) GM: (Hence negative levels being their own thing - they're caused by differnet things, mind.....)
[Sat Oct 07 14:47:47 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "Well, it'd be appreciated"
[Sat Oct 07 14:47:51 2006] : ** (3) Me'hive flashes some coin. **
[Sat Oct 07 14:48:01 2006] : (1) Kibin: (And interestingly enough still causes wights if someone dies by it.)
[Sat Oct 07 14:48:05 2006] : (2) GM: (Some are bad karma, some are negative energy, some are mind-affecting powers, et cetera)
[Sat Oct 07 14:48:28 2006] : (5) Elorin: And, for someone I've known less than a day, payment for the materials would be appreciated. This costs 100 gp.
[Sat Oct 07 14:48:30 2006] : (5) Elorin: Elorin casts Restoration ( level 4, "Restores level and ability score drains" )
[Sat Oct 07 14:48:32 2006] : (5) Elorin: Elorin casts Level 4 Spell ( level 4, "Spell slot tracking device" )
[Sat Oct 07 14:48:36 2006] : (1) Kibin: (*gets an image of negative levels slowly zombifying someone...*)
[Sat Oct 07 14:48:38 2006] : ** (3) Me'hive hands 100gp to Elorin. **
[Sat Oct 07 14:48:53 2006] : (5) Elorin: Thank you
[Sat Oct 07 14:49:03 2006] : (2) GM: The blob surrounds a bit of the silver, and pries a length out of the ground.
[Sat Oct 07 14:49:06 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "No, thank you, friend."
[Sat Oct 07 14:49:15 2006] : (2) GM: Blob: This should do....
[Sat Oct 07 14:49:29 2006] : (1) Kibin: Um, what are you doing?
[Sat Oct 07 14:49:42 2006] : (2) GM: The blob ferries the jagged silver strand through it's substance to the wall it's currently working on.
[Sat Oct 07 14:49:44 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "Alright, so where shall we send this blob? I vote the Celestial Plane because they'll know what to do with him, and hopefully be fair about it."
[Sat Oct 07 14:50:06 2006] : (2) GM: Blob: Great idea, that little piece of ground. Something hard to poke the wall with.
[Sat Oct 07 14:50:16 2006] : (1) Kibin: How about we just leave him on this plane?
[Sat Oct 07 14:50:33 2006] : (2) GM: The blob rams the silver rod into the ground at the next silver line. After a few pokes, it gives.
[Sat Oct 07 14:50:41 2006] : (5) Elorin: Which celestial plane? I don't know much about the planes, but I know there are several celestial ones.
[Sat Oct 07 14:50:47 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "Because he'll get free, and we don't know whethere he'll be a problem in the future. Also, people on this plane are very unfair and might try to kill him for no reason."
[Sat Oct 07 14:51:15 2006] : (2) GM: The blob then stretches out even further, and starts pushing dirt out of the way so it can get the silver bar to the next barrier......
[Sat Oct 07 14:51:17 2006] : (5) Elorin: Or in self defense
[Sat Oct 07 14:51:23 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "Most likely for no reason, tohugh. "
[Sat Oct 07 14:51:46 2006] : (2) GM: Really stretched-out Blob: I'm hard to hurt.
[Sat Oct 07 14:52:08 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "But not invincible, my friend."
[Sat Oct 07 14:52:13 2006] : (1) Kibin: Well, for one, he's not attacking us.
[Sat Oct 07 14:52:27 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "But oth3ers will attack him."
[Sat Oct 07 14:52:39 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < seriously, people attack stuff they don't understand for no reason. >
[Sat Oct 07 14:53:27 2006] : (1) Kibin: Before he asks them nicely in common to please stop?
[Sat Oct 07 14:53:59 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "Chances are that they won't listen."
[Sat Oct 07 14:54:28 2006] : (1) Kibin: Will floating around in a blob of... something get them to listen?
[Sat Oct 07 14:54:53 2006] : (5) Elorin: More likely it will get them eaten.
[Sat Oct 07 14:55:22 2006] : (2) GM: After a bit, you see a bunch of dirt nearly a mile away get pushed up and out of the way.
[Sat Oct 07 14:55:29 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "Look, I'm not going to chance it. This one seems nice enough and there's no reason not to send him to a place where he'll much more safe and happy."
[Sat Oct 07 14:55:53 2006] : (1) Kibin: Might be safe and happy.
[Sat Oct 07 14:55:57 2006] : (1) Kibin: What exactly is he going to eat there?
[Sat Oct 07 14:56:07 2006] : (6) Katsuro: "Why don't you ask him?"
[Sat Oct 07 14:56:17 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "We already did..."
[Sat Oct 07 14:56:33 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "He eats anything that he can see that is tasty, and that doesn't ask him to stop."
[Sat Oct 07 14:56:43 2006] : (1) Kibin: (That, and the funny problem of a zombie invasion on the celestial plane. Lol.)
[Sat Oct 07 14:56:52 2006] : (1) Kibin: He didn't eat you.
[Sat Oct 07 14:56:54 2006] : (2) GM: The blob seems to have strettched itself nearly pencil-thin, other than a larger section every here and there where he continues to feed off the silver lines that were caging him.
[Sat Oct 07 14:56:59 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "Exactly."
[Sat Oct 07 14:57:21 2006] : (1) Kibin: And we're tasty.
[Sat Oct 07 14:57:41 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "yes, but we're its friends, so it's not going to eat us. Wern't you paying attention?"
[Sat Oct 07 14:57:54 2006] : (2) GM: Blob: Sorry I'm a little distracted at the moment... this hitting things with other things is really effective... Sucks, I think I may be out today.....
[Sat Oct 07 14:58:02 2006] : (5) Elorin: And your typical person is likely to assume it's some horrible hostile monster the instant he sees it and attack.
[Sat Oct 07 14:58:06 2006] : ** (1) Kibin asks the blob, "Why do you keep stretching, and not moving from one spot?" **
[Sat Oct 07 14:58:29 2006] : (1) Kibin: And then the blob will ask him to stop...
[Sat Oct 07 14:58:34 2006] : (5) Elorin: Will it?
[Sat Oct 07 14:58:46 2006] : (5) Elorin: Or will it just eat the annoying person?
[Sat Oct 07 14:58:58 2006] : (2) GM: Blob: Well, I don't want to give up on these inner walls quite yet, they're still somewhat tasty. And I do want to be able to hear what you're saying. Even if I am busy a bit.
[Sat Oct 07 14:59:44 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "You're all assuming the 'annoying person' doesn't run away, get some spellcaster to come along and kill using spells, not even giving him the chance to defend himself or explain anything to them."
[Sat Oct 07 15:00:06 2006] : (2) GM: Blob: Spells? What's a spell?
[Sat Oct 07 15:00:21 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "It's what got you down there to begin with."
[Sat Oct 07 15:00:55 2006] : (2) GM: Blob: What? The little bit of ground that they scooped me up in?
[Sat Oct 07 15:01:26 2006] : (2) GM: Blob: Or at least, I think it was a little bit of ground. I'm thinking I was much smaller then, although it did look rather large.
[Sat Oct 07 15:02:09 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "No, when they made you bleed and then imprisoned you here, and also what you're feeding of...of....."
[Sat Oct 07 15:02:28 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < okay, what exactyly is he feeding off of? >
[Sat Oct 07 15:02:30 2006] : (3) Me'hive: Spellcraft: [34] -> 34
[Sat Oct 07 15:02:43 2006] : (1) Kibin: Could we 'bleed' a bit out of you, to see what it is?
[Sat Oct 07 15:03:21 2006] : whispering to Me'hive, Would appear to be passively collected energy that he's feeding on. Possibly life energy, from what contact you've had with him.
[Sat Oct 07 15:03:36 2006] : (2) GM: Blob: We'll... I have lots... I suppose.
[Sat Oct 07 15:03:57 2006] : (2) GM: The blob sends a little blob of itself your way, on a pencil-thin tendril.
[Sat Oct 07 15:04:06 2006] : ** (3) Me'hive casts identify. **
[Sat Oct 07 15:04:19 2006] : (2) GM: On the blob?
[Sat Oct 07 15:04:26 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < grabs a pebble, has it ast identify...w/e gets the job done. >
[Sat Oct 07 15:04:32 2006] : (1) Kibin: (TOUCH SPELLL and takes an hour.)
[Sat Oct 07 15:04:38 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < no, on w/e he's feeding off of. >
[Sat Oct 07 15:05:04 2006] : (2) GM: On touching the pebble to the blob, you feel the spell terminate very suddenly.
[Sat Oct 07 15:05:25 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < isn't he feeding off of the silver lines? >
[Sat Oct 07 15:05:43 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < and identify is instant... >
[Sat Oct 07 15:05:54 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < nvm >
[Sat Oct 07 15:06:01 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < was loking at the duration >
[Sat Oct 07 15:06:07 2006] : (2) GM: Blob: When they were bleeding me, they usually used a tube. Stuck it in me, then sucked. Then they did stuff.
[Sat Oct 07 15:06:34 2006] : (1) Kibin: Sucked it out themselves, or into something?
[Sat Oct 07 15:06:46 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < what type of energy is flowing through the silver lines to keep him fed? That's what i'm using the pebble for. >
[Sat Oct 07 15:07:01 2006] : (2) GM: Blob: Sucked it out themselves. They always did something immediately after. Stretched out like this, a knife should work to seperate a little of me.
[Sat Oct 07 15:07:17 2006] : (2) GM: Ah, in that case....
[Sat Oct 07 15:07:22 2006] : (2) GM: Will save?
[Sat Oct 07 15:07:33 2006] : (3) Me'hive: Willpower: [1d20+15] -> [10,15] = (25)
[Sat Oct 07 15:07:47 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < even though I'm not touching the thing myself, but touching the pebble to it? >
[Sat Oct 07 15:07:58 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < and Break Enchantment is still in affect. >
[Sat Oct 07 15:08:18 2006] : (1) Kibin: (If it matters, identify automatically fails when used on an artifact.)
[Sat Oct 07 15:08:20 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < so I'm immune to Enchantments, Transmutations, and Curses of level 5 or lower. >
[Sat Oct 07 15:08:22 2006] : (6) Katsuro: (Gone for now.)
[Sat Oct 07 15:08:42 2006] : (2) GM: The spell produces a channel from the thing touched to you to transmit info into you. The silver bars are kinda loaded with energy.... and it's perfectly willing to go through any available channel.
[Sat Oct 07 15:08:52 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < lol Kibin, keep that kind of thing to yourself... -_- >
[Sat Oct 07 15:09:12 2006] : (5) Elorin: (uh, Break Enchantment is Instantaneous)
[Sat Oct 07 15:09:27 2006] : (5) Elorin: (it's used to remove such things after the fact, it can't prevent their establishment)
[Sat Oct 07 15:09:32 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < what do you mean "any willing channel"? >
[Sat Oct 07 15:09:41 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < and I have an item that has it going continuous, silly. >
[Sat Oct 07 15:09:50 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Did you know it can incidentally break disintergrate?)
[Sat Oct 07 15:10:00 2006] : (5) Elorin: (you can't make a continuous item out of an instantaneous spell)
[Sat Oct 07 15:10:10 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < yes, you can. It says so in the DMG. >
[Sat Oct 07 15:10:12 2006] : (5) Elorin: (unless Jack specifically houseruled it for you)
[Sat Oct 07 15:10:21 2006] : (5) Elorin: (where?)
[Sat Oct 07 15:10:44 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < hang on, I'll get the page. >
[Sat Oct 07 15:10:46 2006] : whispering to Me'hive, It seems to mostly be collecting life energy passively cast off by the normal cycle of life and death - bugs, blades of gras, et cetera, that happen to die in the area. And channel it inwards. Much of it's used to continue the barrier... which seems to work by pushing energy at the beast faster than it can eat it.
[Sat Oct 07 15:11:28 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Then you could have an item of continuous cone of cold, and I could instantly kill anyone that I point it at that isn't immune to cold.)
[Sat Oct 07 15:12:18 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < no, the way it works is that the item basically casts itself, free of my will, every round. >
[Sat Oct 07 15:12:33 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < that's how the DMG explained it. >
[Sat Oct 07 15:13:11 2006] : (5) Elorin: (did the DM approve this?)
[Sat Oct 07 15:13:17 2006] : (2) GM: I'll need to go over those with you after the session - but in general, they don't work. That section of the DMG? Clearly labed Guidelines..... new items require DM approval... little things like that. Not worth it at the moment, as this is game time. Get to it later.
[Sat Oct 07 15:14:07 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < and there was even an already-made item that allowed continuous immunity to stuff like that using the Break Enchantment spell, although I can't remember where i saw that >
[Sat Oct 07 15:14:30 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < anyways, so it's basically just creating food and water for him? >
[Sat Oct 07 15:15:07 2006] : whispering to Me'hive, Gathering, and feeding it to him in such a way that it forces him to remain right there.
[Sat Oct 07 15:15:34 2006] : whispering to Me'hive, It's not making it. Seems there is a reason why the outer edge of the thing is four miles on a side.....
[Sat Oct 07 15:16:15 2006] : (1) Kibin: For the blob, yes. You... probally not so much.
[Sat Oct 07 15:16:58 2006] : (3) Me'hive (whispering): alright, just to make it simple because I'm not exactly sure what you're saying anymore, what would be a good place to send him to?
[Sat Oct 07 15:17:09 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Oops, that was supposed to be OOC.)
[Sat Oct 07 15:18:03 2006] : whispering to Me'hive, He eats life. Too much at a time puts him off, so the Positive Energy Plane would be liable to crush him. Just about anywhere else where there's an abundance of life would be liable to support him, though. At least, until he outgrows his food supply.....
[Sat Oct 07 15:20:01 2006] : whispering to Me'hive, Which means he could thrive in, say, the Heroic Domains of Ysgard, or the Twin Paradises of Bytopia, or anywhere else where there are lots of living things for it to eat.
[Sat Oct 07 15:20:27 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Anyway, where were we? :P)
[Sat Oct 07 15:20:39 2006] : (3) Me'hive (whispering): yeah, was just looking at that. Ysgard would be perfect becaue it's minor positive dominant, and infinite in size.
[Sat Oct 07 15:20:53 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "Alright, I'm gonna break him free and send him to the planes of Ysgard.
[Sat Oct 07 15:21:02 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "Any objections?"
[Sat Oct 07 15:21:07 2006] : (2) GM: You were looking into expirimenting with seeing what the mages were getting from the blob, exactly.
[Sat Oct 07 15:21:47 2006] : (1) Kibin: Yeah, we don't know what exactly he eats, what exactly he'll eat on the planes of Ysgard, and why he won't eat one of our friends on that plane.
[Sat Oct 07 15:21:52 2006] : (2) GM: And Me'hive was looking into seeing where the blob could go.
[Sat Oct 07 15:21:55 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < I'd imagine that would be pure negative energy, seeing as how it's made of it...it probably fueled their spells. >
[Sat Oct 07 15:22:08 2006] : (1) Kibin: (I'm thinking otherwise.)
[Sat Oct 07 15:22:39 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "The planes of Ysgard are only somewhat good, and being infinite in size he'll never run out of food."
[Sat Oct 07 15:22:46 2006] : ** (1) Kibin asks, "Anyone have a straw and a vial to put the blood or something in?" **
[Sat Oct 07 15:23:32 2006] : (2) GM: Blob: As is, a knife would work... they used a straw just to extract. I'm all me, really, and stretched out as I am, you could just cut a little piece off.
[Sat Oct 07 15:23:34 2006] : (5) Elorin: Kaylin? (resident knowledge monkey, how would they likely react there and are we correct that they could almost certainly kill it if necessary?)
[Sat Oct 07 15:23:45 2006] : (1) Kibin: Ah.
[Sat Oct 07 15:23:55 2006] : (1) Kibin: Wouldn't that make another blob, though?
[Sat Oct 07 15:24:33 2006] : (2) GM: Blob: Don't know. That's how I make more of me, sure. But they always ate the chunks they drew from me, so.....
[Sat Oct 07 15:24:45 2006] : (2) GM: Knowledge: The Planes Skill Check: [1d20+21] -> [16,21] = (37)
[Sat Oct 07 15:24:50 2006] : (1) Kibin: Ah.
[Sat Oct 07 15:25:25 2006] : ** (1) Kibin takes out a portable hole from the pocket on a chain around his neck, folds it out, and takes out an adamantine sword from it. "What exactly to put it in?" **
[Sat Oct 07 15:25:34 2006] : (2) GM: Kaylin: Well... yeah, he'd probably survive there quite nicely. If need be, I suppose they might be able to take him out.. they have enough warriors.
[Sat Oct 07 15:25:59 2006] : (2) GM: Kaylin: But... Jason's spell stopped before it hit the blob, not after..... that bugs me.
[Sat Oct 07 15:26:01 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "Ysgard it is, then."
[Sat Oct 07 15:26:05 2006] : (5) Elorin: All right, fine with me.
[Sat Oct 07 15:26:39 2006] : ** (3) Me'hive proceeds to one of the remaining stones. **
[Sat Oct 07 15:26:57 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < shall I make my attacks or is someone going to stop me? >
[Sat Oct 07 15:27:10 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Go ahead.)
[Sat Oct 07 15:27:17 2006] : (2) GM: Going after the boundaries miles away, or breaking the silver barriers that impede momentary progress?
[Sat Oct 07 15:27:20 2006] : (3) Me'hive: Gauntlet Punch
[Sat Oct 07 15:27:22 2006] : (3) Me'hive: Attack: [1d20+21] -> [14,21] = (35)
[Sat Oct 07 15:27:24 2006] : (3) Me'hive: Damage: [1d3+9d6+1d6+26] -> [1,3,3,3,6,6,6,2,6,3,3,26] = (68)
[Sat Oct 07 15:27:26 2006] : (3) Me'hive: Gauntlet Punch
[Sat Oct 07 15:27:28 2006] : (3) Me'hive: Attack: [1d20+16] -> [1,16] = (17)
[Sat Oct 07 15:27:30 2006] : (3) Me'hive: Damage: [1d3+9d6+1d6+26] -> [3,4,3,2,3,6,4,4,4,6,3,26] = (68)
[Sat Oct 07 15:27:32 2006] : (3) Me'hive: Gauntlet Punch
[Sat Oct 07 15:27:34 2006] : (3) Me'hive: Attack: [1d20+11] -> [12,11] = (23)
[Sat Oct 07 15:27:36 2006] : (3) Me'hive: Damage: [1d3+9d6+1d6+26] -> [3,6,2,2,5,2,6,3,6,2,5,26] = (68)
[Sat Oct 07 15:27:38 2006] : (3) Me'hive: Gauntlet Punch
[Sat Oct 07 15:27:40 2006] : (3) Me'hive: Attack: [1d20+21] -> [17,21] = (38)
[Sat Oct 07 15:27:42 2006] : (3) Me'hive: Damage: [1d3+9d6+1d6+26] -> [3,1,6,5,3,3,2,6,4,1,4,26] = (64)
[Sat Oct 07 15:27:44 2006] : (5) Elorin: (dinner time for me)
[Sat Oct 07 15:27:49 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < didn't know there was something impeding his progress...won't matter though. >
[Sat Oct 07 15:27:57 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < if he's free then he's free. >
[Sat Oct 07 15:28:41 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Um, anyone have something that we could use to hold a piece of this blob as to not touch it?)
[Sat Oct 07 15:28:54 2006] : (2) GM: After a bit of pounding, you break through the boundary stone... and find it's hollow, with a solid bar of silver coming up to about ground level.
[Sat Oct 07 15:28:58 2006] : (2) GM: You mean like gauntlets?
[Sat Oct 07 15:29:16 2006] : (2) GM: Or a shovel?
[Sat Oct 07 15:29:31 2006] : (2) GM: Or just a little bit of a dagger to balance it on?
[Sat Oct 07 15:29:37 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < well, if you really have an issue with me having something that makes me immune to level 5th or lower enchantments, curses, and transmutations, then I can grab telekinesis instead. >
[Sat Oct 07 15:30:06 2006] : (1) Kibin: (The thing is, you're not immune. It affects you, then the round after it doesn't. With a caster level check that is.)
[Sat Oct 07 15:30:55 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < I'm pretty sure it said something about instant-stuff as well. >
[Sat Oct 07 15:31:09 2006] : (2) GM: That's something to discuss after the session on the boards.
[Sat Oct 07 15:31:34 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < okay. >
[Sat Oct 07 15:32:08 2006] : (3) Me'hive: 
[Sat Oct 07 15:33:08 2006] : ** (1) Kibin looks for a rock with a concave surface to use, and when/if he finds one he uses it to hold the little piece of the blob that he then cuts off, being careful not to touch it. **
[Sat Oct 07 15:33:10 2006] : (2) GM: After killing the pillar, there's a rumble, and the silver bars all curl upwards, despite the ground in the way...
[Sat Oct 07 15:33:12 2006] : (2) GM: Reflex saves, everyone.
[Sat Oct 07 15:33:31 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < quickened teleport? >
[Sat Oct 07 15:33:39 2006] : (3) Me'hive: Reflex: [1d20+10] -> [20,10] = (30)
[Sat Oct 07 15:33:46 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < haha, nvm...doesn't matter -_- >
[Sat Oct 07 15:33:53 2006] : (2) GM: Not your turn - Reflex to be elsewhere. Which you are.
[Sat Oct 07 15:34:01 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < nat 20 beats all :D >
[Sat Oct 07 15:34:52 2006] : (2) GM: (except the "partial" or "half" spells..... nifty little clause in Fear and the like still leaves you shaken; two or three of them in the same round and you're panicked regardless of saves, unless immune to fear)
[Sat Oct 07 15:35:24 2006] : (2) GM: The silver bars curl inwards on them selves, leaving a very large jumbled mess if silver in the center.
[Sat Oct 07 15:35:34 2006] : (1) Kibin: Reflex save: [1d20+24] -> [5,24] = (29)
[Sat Oct 07 15:35:40 2006] : (2) GM: Oh, and reflex for Katsuro?
[Sat Oct 07 15:35:47 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < is w/e spell being used for fear level 5 or below? >
[Sat Oct 07 15:36:09 2006] : ** (1) Kibin thinks, "Hey, cool, collects all the silver in the center for easy collection." **
[Sat Oct 07 15:36:29 2006] : whispering to Kibin, Fear spells are often necromancy.....
[Sat Oct 07 15:37:06 2006] : (2) GM: And Kibin takes [10d6] -> [6,2,4,3,6,6,5,5,5,5] = (47) slashing damage as he gets caught in the back by a sharp silver bar.
[Sat Oct 07 15:37:09 2006] : (1) Kibin: (...fear + quickened fear...)
[Sat Oct 07 15:37:58 2006] : (2) GM: (you want to extend both, so you get two rounds of terror, but essentailly)
[Sat Oct 07 15:38:17 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < okay, so I'm afraid for two rounds with no save... >
[Sat Oct 07 15:38:41 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < am I afraid of anything in particular, or just straight up afraid? >
[Sat Oct 07 15:39:16 2006] : (2) GM: Defined game condition - you run away as fast as possible, unable to help your friends. Oh, yeah, and in the middle of combat, a lot can happen in two rounds.... as you can't fight back effectively.
[Sat Oct 07 15:39:34 2006] : (2) GM: "Frightened: A frightened creature flees from the source of its fear as best it can. If unable to flee, it may fight. A frightened creature takes a �2 penalty on all attack rolls, saving throws, skill checks, and ability checks. A frightened creature can use special abilities, including spells, to flee; indeed, the creature must use such means if they are the only way to escape."
[Sat Oct 07 15:39:39 2006] : (6) Katsuro: (Back.)
[Sat Oct 07 15:39:41 2006] : (6) Katsuro: Reflex save: [1d20+10] -> [10,10] = (20)
[Sat Oct 07 15:39:55 2006] : (6) Katsuro: (...Hey look! Rolled a 20!)
[Sat Oct 07 15:40:01 2006] : (2) GM: And Katsuro also takes [10d6] -> [4,3,2,6,5,2,1,1,6,6] = (36) damage from a silver bar that catches him in the back.
[Sat Oct 07 15:40:03 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < no, you rolled a 10... >
[Sat Oct 07 15:40:05 2006] : (6) Katsuro: (...Bluff check...)
[Sat Oct 07 15:40:18 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < bluff check is stopped by lack of stupidity... >
[Sat Oct 07 15:40:37 2006] : (2) GM: Reflex save: [1d20+12] -> [18,12] = (30)
[Sat Oct 07 15:40:46 2006] : (2) GM: Reflex save: [1d20+22] -> [1,22] = (23)
[Sat Oct 07 15:40:55 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Or at least lack of humor.)
[Sat Oct 07 15:41:01 2006] : (2) GM: Reflex save: [1d20+14] -> [13,14] = (27)
[Sat Oct 07 15:41:03 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < ouch...I feel sorry for whoever that last roll was for... >
[Sat Oct 07 15:41:18 2006] : (2) GM: And Kaylin, and Elorin, and Jason (in that order).
[Sat Oct 07 15:41:20 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < and when I said that I was trying to be humorous in and of itself... >
[Sat Oct 07 15:41:34 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < but obviously humor doesn't translate well over ,b>text >
[Sat Oct 07 15:41:36 2006] : (2) GM: Kaylin saves, Elorin takes [10d6] -> [4,6,5,6,3,2,1,1,3,4] = (35)...
[Sat Oct 07 15:41:42 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < text >
[Sat Oct 07 15:41:55 2006] : (2) GM: incorporeal miss chance, 51 or higher misses [1d100] -> [18] = (18)
[Sat Oct 07 15:42:03 2006] : (2) GM: And Jason takes [10d6] -> [5,5,2,2,3,2,2,4,4,6] = (35)
[Sat Oct 07 15:43:01 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < haha, that's funny. Ghost gets harpooned by a flying rod... >
[Sat Oct 07 15:43:10 2006] : (1) Kibin: (A MAGIC flying rod.)
[Sat Oct 07 15:43:13 2006] : (2) GM: So the rough silver ball in the center ends up rather bloody......
[Sat Oct 07 15:43:35 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < with incorpereal blood nonetheless :P >
[Sat Oct 07 15:43:40 2006] : (2) GM: As well as rather dusty and muddy, from the ground that clinged to it.
[Sat Oct 07 15:43:55 2006] : (1) Kibin: (And silver blood too, which really isn't that noticable on silver.)
[Sat Oct 07 15:44:04 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < yeah... >
[Sat Oct 07 15:44:24 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < alright, thinking about flying up to the ball in the sky and destroying it. >
[Sat Oct 07 15:44:29 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < who's with me! >
[Sat Oct 07 15:44:36 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < gimem a hoora! >
[Sat Oct 07 15:44:46 2006] : (2) GM: The blob, stretched out as it was, doesn't get a save. And gets cut into 13 different pieces.
[Sat Oct 07 15:45:01 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < aw...crap. >
[Sat Oct 07 15:45:05 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Me'Hive doesn't get to destroy anything. Ever. Again.)
[Sat Oct 07 15:45:17 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < lol >
[Sat Oct 07 15:45:51 2006] : (2) GM: The thirteen blobs, ranging from Large to Fine, start rolling around on the plain.
[Sat Oct 07 15:46:04 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < haha: Transport travelers. A wish can lift one creature per caster level from anywhere on any plane and place those creatures anywhere else on any plane regardless of local conditions. An unwilling target gets a Will save to negate the effect, and spell resistance (if any) applies. >
[Sat Oct 07 15:46:27 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < one creature per caster level...I can still get that blob and all his children to the other plane of existance. >
[Sat Oct 07 15:46:45 2006] : (2) GM: They don't cross their own tails - all the grass they roll over simply drops dead, crinkling and turning brown immediately.
[Sat Oct 07 15:46:48 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "Aw, how cute...the mommy blob gave birth! >
[Sat Oct 07 15:46:50 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Hehe. I can imagine that someone with a lot of 9th level spell slots, a lot of XP, and very bored could have some fun with that.)
[Sat Oct 07 15:47:15 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Something like an immortal being insulting every being in the galaxy.)
[Sat Oct 07 15:48:02 2006] : (2) GM: (Eschew Materials + Demand = Convince anyone, anywhere, of doing almost anything - after all, unless immune, they will roll a 1 eventually.....)
[Sat Oct 07 15:48:21 2006] : (6) Katsuro: (Gone again...)
[Sat Oct 07 15:48:23 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Hehe.)
[Sat Oct 07 15:48:33 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Bored spellcasters can do a lot of funny things. :D)
[Sat Oct 07 15:48:40 2006] : (2) GM: The blobs roll up to you.
[Sat Oct 07 15:48:56 2006] : (2) GM: In varying volumes, they all say the same thing: Free!!!!!
[Sat Oct 07 15:48:59 2006] : ** (1) Kibin flies into the air, and tries guiding the blobs into each other, seeing if they'll recombine. **
[Sat Oct 07 15:49:18 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "YAY! Watch them all go!"
[Sat Oct 07 15:49:24 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "They're just so damned CUUUUTE!"
[Sat Oct 07 15:49:29 2006] : (3) Me'hive: :P
[Sat Oct 07 15:49:49 2006] : (2) GM: They don't seem to notice each other's presence at all. When they collide, they do indeed merge.
[Sat Oct 07 15:49:58 2006] : (2) GM: Agter a bit of playing, you get it all back into one blob.
[Sat Oct 07 15:50:09 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < lol >
[Sat Oct 07 15:50:24 2006] : (2) GM: (ay kant spel)
[Sat Oct 07 15:50:55 2006] : (2) GM: You notice the blob eats up all the grass in the area very quickly.......
[Sat Oct 07 15:50:59 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < ya, hookt in fonex wurkt fer meh! >
[Sat Oct 07 15:51:10 2006] : (1) Kibin: Okay, Me'hive doesn't get to destroy anything else...
[Sat Oct 07 15:51:26 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "Hey, Mr Blob, you wanna go to the coolest place i can think of?"
[Sat Oct 07 15:51:35 2006] : (2) GM: Blob: Sure!
[Sat Oct 07 15:51:45 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "Alright, think happy thoughts!
[Sat Oct 07 15:51:55 2006] : ** (3) Me'hive casts wish, transporting him to the planes of Ysgard. **

[Sat Oct 07 15:52:17 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < and if it resists, it's gonna get ugly... >
[Sat Oct 07 15:52:24 2006] : (2) GM: Unfortunately, the blob just seems to get rolled back a bit, and grow.
[Sat Oct 07 15:52:34 2006] : (2) GM: Blob: Yeah! Tasty! Do it again!
[Sat Oct 07 15:52:36 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < -_- >
[Sat Oct 07 15:52:41 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Mmm, waste of 5,000 XP.)
[Sat Oct 07 15:52:51 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < oh, it was a LOT more than that, Kibin... >
[Sat Oct 07 15:53:05 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < rat bastard... .
[Sat Oct 07 15:53:12 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < now it's personal!!!!! >
[Sat Oct 07 15:53:18 2006] : (3) Me'hive: Initiative: [1d20-1] -> [13,-1] = (12)
[Sat Oct 07 15:53:37 2006] : ** (3) Me'hive a very, VERY enraged expression falls on his face. **
[Sat Oct 07 15:53:51 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "RAAWWR! How dare you suck up my spell!"
[Sat Oct 07 15:53:56 2006] : ** (1) Kibin found the F11 macro key **
[Sat Oct 07 15:54:04 2006] : (1) Kibin: Dex check: [1d20+3] -> [15,3] = (18)
[Sat Oct 07 15:54:06 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < gratz, kibin -_- >
[Sat Oct 07 15:55:03 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < hmm...positive energy feeds it, and negative energy is negate, right? >
[Sat Oct 07 15:55:15 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Actually, we don't know that.)
[Sat Oct 07 15:55:17 2006] : (2) GM: (I hinted. I so hinted. Under Detect magic when Elorin cast it, the blob showed up as a void; Jason's ray was specifically called out as stopping before it made contact - and NPC Kaylin mentioned that the fact disturbed her. When asked how he was caught, he reffered to being physically scooped up. When you identified the bars, I noted that they were basically just throwing food at him faster than he could eat it.... I hinted so hard....)
[Sat Oct 07 15:55:40 2006] : (6) Katsuro: (It eats magic.)
[Sat Oct 07 15:55:52 2006] : (1) Kibin: (That was the second theory. The first theory was XP. x.x)
[Sat Oct 07 15:56:00 2006] : (6) Katsuro: (*Sigh* The limits of an Int 10 character...)
[Sat Oct 07 15:56:02 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < yeah, didn't catch that... =/ >
[Sat Oct 07 15:56:11 2006] : (6) Katsuro: (With no magic skills.)
[Sat Oct 07 15:56:32 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < oh well... >
[Sat Oct 07 15:56:34 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Okay then... if Me'hive looks like he's about to attack, I'll go cool him down.)
[Sat Oct 07 15:56:44 2006] : (2) GM: Anyway, initiative... Blob: [1d20-3] -> [19,-3] = (16)
[Sat Oct 07 15:56:57 2006] : (6) Katsuro: (And gone again.)
[Sat Oct 07 15:58:34 2006] : (2) GM: All right, that's blob. Most people would have been starting close (except for Kibin, who was having fun looking at the shiny silver ball)
[Sat Oct 07 15:58:44 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < so why didn't anyone stop me from casting that? >
[Sat Oct 07 15:59:03 2006] : (6) Katsuro: (And back.)
[Sat Oct 07 15:59:18 2006] : (6) Katsuro: (Well, I wasn't there, for one thing.)
[Sat Oct 07 15:59:28 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Well, I kind of didn't want to teleport him for quite a while now... that, and Kaylin could have prepared a gate tomorrow. :P)
[Sat Oct 07 15:59:48 2006] : (2) GM: Because as DM, I can't hold your hand that much, and the players who would reasonably be getting it were not quite present.
[Sat Oct 07 15:59:50 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < still didn't try to STOP me...w/e >
[Sat Oct 07 16:00:15 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < well ,I was absent for the Detect magic=void thing. >
[Sat Oct 07 16:00:26 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Uh... me too, I think.)
[Sat Oct 07 16:00:28 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < w/e it's done. Now I'm pissed and I have nthoing I can actually do about it >
[Sat Oct 07 16:00:42 2006] : (2) GM: Was character information; it was whispered to Elorin properly, and he didn't relay it.
[Sat Oct 07 16:00:47 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < so...in your face, whoever called a minmaxer :P >
[Sat Oct 07 16:01:20 2006] : (2) GM: Well, you have ghost touch +5 Gauntlets, and something that big can't have much of an AC.....
[Sat Oct 07 16:01:43 2006] : (3) Me'hive: Yeah, but i'll kill me a lot faster than I can kill it... >
[Sat Oct 07 16:02:06 2006] : (1) Kibin: (ANd I was going to use a paralyzing breath weapon anyway so no combat would actually have to take place...)
[Sat Oct 07 16:02:16 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < and heal is useless because it gives me negative levels. >
[Sat Oct 07 16:02:36 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < the creature gives me negative levels... >
[Sat Oct 07 16:02:41 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < stupid blob -_- >
[Sat Oct 07 16:03:13 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "Well, now that he's free, what do you guys wanan do?"
[Sat Oct 07 16:03:55 2006] : (2) GM: So Kibin starts at, oh, 500 feet off to the side (100 squares), Me'hive starts five to fifteen feet away (his option), Elorin's off looking at the silver, as is Kaylin (character is established as being interested in pretty things). Jason's nearby.
[Sat Oct 07 16:03:58 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Um... so what exactly happened with the combat situation?)
[Sat Oct 07 16:04:28 2006] : (2) GM: Me'hive, starting combat, changed his mind and didn't.
[Sat Oct 07 16:04:32 2006] : (3) Me'hive: 
[Sat Oct 07 16:05:05 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < major creation, pehaps? >
[Sat Oct 07 16:05:23 2006] : (1) Kibin: (You mean after the silver is in a little ball?)
[Sat Oct 07 16:05:28 2006] : (2) GM: Only produces temporary things, and can't make magic items.
[Sat Oct 07 16:05:38 2006] : ** (1) Kibin goes ahead and casts a ray of frost at the blob, seeing what it does.) **
[Sat Oct 07 16:06:05 2006] : (2) GM: Roll a d20, and avoid a 1. That's the only roll you'll miss on.....
[Sat Oct 07 16:06:15 2006] : (1) Kibin: [1d20] -> [13] = (13)
[Sat Oct 07 16:06:41 2006] : (2) GM: And the ray of frost stops just short of the blob, as though it ran into an anti-magic field.
[Sat Oct 07 16:07:08 2006] : (2) GM: Blob: Hmm... a little tasty.
[Sat Oct 07 16:07:25 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "Hey, mr Blob, follow me."
[Sat Oct 07 16:07:29 2006] : (2) GM: Blob: Not much, though, not like earlier. That one was De-licious.
[Sat Oct 07 16:07:31 2006] : (1) Kibin: Okay, so you do feed om magic. Hmmm.
[Sat Oct 07 16:07:33 2006] : (2) GM: Blob: Sure.
[Sat Oct 07 16:07:37 2006] : ** (3) Me'hive heads towards the nearest town where he can find a powerful mage. **
[Sat Oct 07 16:07:56 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Which is a long time away...)
[Sat Oct 07 16:07:59 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < I'm gonna have Antimgaic Field cast on this thing... >
[Sat Oct 07 16:08:35 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < that should either send it back to wherever it came from, stop its ability to eat magic, or just continue to feed it. >
[Sat Oct 07 16:08:52 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Or do absolutely nothing at all.)
[Sat Oct 07 16:08:54 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < don't know which, though. >
[Sat Oct 07 16:09:19 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < if it does absolutely nothing, then I'll put it into a portable hole and toss a bag of holding in. >
[Sat Oct 07 16:09:34 2006] : (2) GM: The blob starts following Me'hive. Back to the mayors, who are only a day or so's walk away. The blob makes sure to walk on the grass, at the trees, et cetera, leaving a trail of dead plants behind. And it snakes out pseudopod once along the journey, snagging a deer.
[Sat Oct 07 16:09:42 2006] : (2) GM: Which drops dead.
[Sat Oct 07 16:09:45 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Feeling a little evil, are you?)
[Sat Oct 07 16:10:09 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < it ate my only 9th level spell...of course I'm gonan go evil on his...w/e he has... >
[Sat Oct 07 16:10:23 2006] : (6) Katsuro: "I thought there were no spellcasters in the villages?"
[Sat Oct 07 16:10:26 2006] : (1) Kibin: Um, if you eat magic, how come whatever you touch dies?
[Sat Oct 07 16:10:45 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < because it appearantly eats both life essence AND magic. >
[Sat Oct 07 16:10:53 2006] : (1) Kibin: (And Elorin can cast antimagic field. :P)
[Sat Oct 07 16:11:13 2006] : (2) GM: Blob: I eat tasty things. That ... magic, you called it? Was really really tasty. And it rammed right into me... I couldn't not eat it.
[Sat Oct 07 16:11:15 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "Elroin, cast an antimagic field on him real qwuick."
[Sat Oct 07 16:11:25 2006] : (2) GM: Elorin: Right.
[Sat Oct 07 16:11:42 2006] : Elorin casts Antimagic Field ( level 8, "Negates magic within 10 ft." )
[Sat Oct 07 16:11:44 2006] : Elorin can cast Antimagic Field 98 more times
[Sat Oct 07 16:11:47 2006] : Elorin casts Level 8 Spell ( level 8, "Spell slot tracking device" )
[Sat Oct 07 16:11:49 2006] : Elorin can cast Level 8 Spell 4 more times
[Sat Oct 07 16:12:09 2006] : (2) GM: Elorin, at Me'hive's direction, goes ahead and puts up an AMF.
[Sat Oct 07 16:12:33 2006] : (2) GM: Blob: Hey! You're eating now too! Only some of it though.
[Sat Oct 07 16:12:59 2006] : (2) GM: Blob: Hey... there's different types of food! Interesting.....
[Sat Oct 07 16:13:01 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < huh? >
[Sat Oct 07 16:13:09 2006] : ** (1) Kibin casts Detect Magic to look at the deer that was killed. And the grass. And not looking at the blob. **
[Sat Oct 07 16:13:38 2006] : whispering to Kibin, There's no residual magic anywhere the blob has touched.
[Sat Oct 07 16:14:09 2006] : (1) Kibin (whispering): I don't suppose it can detect 'negative' magic, or something?
[Sat Oct 07 16:14:23 2006] : whispering to Kibin, There's a rather distinct absence, in fact. Less than the normal background. It's kinda disconcerting.
[Sat Oct 07 16:14:39 2006] : (1) Kibin (whispering): Ah.
[Sat Oct 07 16:14:53 2006] : (2) GM: The blob rolls right up to Elorin, but seems a little dioriented, and backs off.
[Sat Oct 07 16:15:03 2006] : (2) GM: Blob: Whoa! That feels wierd.
[Sat Oct 07 16:15:36 2006] : (2) GM: Blob: You eat without eating. Very odd. The ... tug? ... is strange.
[Sat Oct 07 16:15:46 2006] : ** (1) Kibin looks into the antimagic field to see what it looks like out of curiosity. **
[Sat Oct 07 16:16:00 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < haha, and now you go blind... .
[Sat Oct 07 16:16:26 2006] : whispering to Kibin, the antmagic field looks much like the Blob, as far as Detect Magic is concerned - nothing there for it to find whatsoever.
[Sat Oct 07 16:16:59 2006] : (1) Kibin (whispering): The trail behind the blob? Is the air like the trees and deer?
[Sat Oct 07 16:17:38 2006] : whispering to Kibin, Yeah, he sucks all the magic out of everything, although the air fills itself back up so it's momentary, and doesn't persist as empty behind the blob for long.
[Sat Oct 07 16:18:07 2006] : ** (3) Me'hive is still walking towards town. **
[Sat Oct 07 16:18:24 2006] : ** (1) Kibin asks Me'hive, "We probally shouldn't bring him into town yet." **
[Sat Oct 07 16:18:28 2006] : (2) GM: The And the blob catches up; after all, it's friend asked it to follow.
[Sat Oct 07 16:18:38 2006] : (5) Elorin: (back)
[Sat Oct 07 16:18:43 2006] : (5) Elorin: Elorin casts Antimagic Field ( level 8, "Negates magic within 10 ft." )
[Sat Oct 07 16:18:45 2006] : (5) Elorin: Elorin casts Level 8 Spell ( level 8, "Spell slot tracking device" )
[Sat Oct 07 16:18:47 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "Why not?"
[Sat Oct 07 16:19:02 2006] : (1) Kibin: Lots of people. Him. Figure it out?
[Sat Oct 07 16:19:31 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "Well, it's best if we try to explain to them what's going. It's bound to happen anyways."
[Sat Oct 07 16:19:35 2006] : (2) GM: Oh, and while you were out, you took 35 damage from a rapidly curling bar of silver due to the physical destruction of the anchors for the binding pentagram.....
[Sat Oct 07 16:19:43 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "This way, at least theres a good chance that he'll be safe."
[Sat Oct 07 16:20:03 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "Well, not a good chance, but you know what I mean."
[Sat Oct 07 16:20:07 2006] : (1) Kibin: Um.
[Sat Oct 07 16:20:13 2006] : (1) Kibin: You mean him eating all the people there?
[Sat Oct 07 16:20:27 2006] : (2) GM: The materials of which is now sitting in a rough ball in the middle of that area, basically unattended.
[Sat Oct 07 16:20:30 2006] : (5) Elorin: (so, are we going to try to kill this thing or what?)
[Sat Oct 07 16:20:32 2006] : (3) Me'hive: to Mr Blob "Are you gonna eat anyone in the town? "
[Sat Oct 07 16:20:55 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Hey, is the ball big enough to fit in the portable hole? :P)
[Sat Oct 07 16:20:59 2006] : (2) GM: Blob: Well, I think I recognize your type... I don't eat things like you, right?
[Sat Oct 07 16:21:02 2006] : (1) Kibin: (I mean small enough. x.x)
[Sat Oct 07 16:21:13 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "That's correct."
[Sat Oct 07 16:21:20 2006] : (2) GM: (you'll need to do some chopping)
[Sat Oct 07 16:21:38 2006] : (2) GM: Blob: But the rest is fair game? Good. Because I'm getting hungry.....
[Sat Oct 07 16:21:46 2006] : (1) Kibin: (To fit all of it in?)
[Sat Oct 07 16:21:58 2006] : (1) Kibin: Um, well, it's probally not a good idea to eat the plants.
[Sat Oct 07 16:22:13 2006] : (2) GM: Blob: What's a plant?
[Sat Oct 07 16:22:16 2006] : (5) Elorin: (I'm not liking how much the blob seems to need to eat)
[Sat Oct 07 16:22:23 2006] : (6) Katsuro: "Why not?"
[Sat Oct 07 16:22:26 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < neither am I, now... >
[Sat Oct 07 16:22:38 2006] : (2) GM: The blob asks this as he lashes out and starts tagging nearby trees... which die as soon as he hits them.
[Sat Oct 07 16:22:53 2006] : (1) Kibin: Well, uh... you know those things that you just ate?
[Sat Oct 07 16:22:55 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "Those are plants..."
[Sat Oct 07 16:22:59 2006] : (1) Kibin: That don't move?
[Sat Oct 07 16:23:02 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "Those things you're reaching out to."
[Sat Oct 07 16:23:18 2006] : (3) Me'hive: >.>
[Sat Oct 07 16:23:30 2006] : (2) GM: Blob: Oh. Umm...... but......
[Sat Oct 07 16:23:33 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Is there like a plane of perpetual energy or something?)
[Sat Oct 07 16:23:36 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Perpetual magic?)
[Sat Oct 07 16:24:03 2006] : (2) GM: I'm curious how you plan to get him there......
[Sat Oct 07 16:24:06 2006] : (1) Kibin: People will kind of notice if you start eating those.
[Sat Oct 07 16:24:13 2006] : (6) Katsuro: "I don't see why not. They don't have minds."
[Sat Oct 07 16:24:22 2006] : (6) Katsuro: "And people won't notice the huge black blob?"
[Sat Oct 07 16:24:30 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Hehe. How far is it to that dwarven mine?)
[Sat Oct 07 16:24:47 2006] : (2) GM: Blob: Okay, I'll just put off eating for now, I guess.
[Sat Oct 07 16:25:00 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "That's a good Mr Blobby."
[Sat Oct 07 16:25:09 2006] : (2) GM: The blob floats up a little ways into the air, stopping the trail of destruction.....
[Sat Oct 07 16:25:25 2006] : (2) GM: Blob: Although it does look yummy......
[Sat Oct 07 16:25:33 2006] : (3) Me'hive: 
[Sat Oct 07 16:25:35 2006] : (1) Kibin: (I have an idea of using the blobs in antimagic armor and stuff...)
[Sat Oct 07 16:25:45 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "I know Mr Blobby, but you're gonna have to restrain yourself."
[Sat Oct 07 16:25:48 2006] : (2) GM: (unspecified; call it a hundred miles)
[Sat Oct 07 16:25:59 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "People wouldn't like it if you ate costantly, and it's not it's gonna kill you."
[Sat Oct 07 16:26:17 2006] : (5) Elorin: Just how much do you really need to eat?
[Sat Oct 07 16:26:36 2006] : (3) Me'hive: Knowledge (Arcana): [1d20+24] -> [4,24] = (28)
[Sat Oct 07 16:26:42 2006] : (1) Kibin: Hmmmmm, how far was it to that place that had the portal to all those portals?
[Sat Oct 07 16:26:48 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < however much that check would tell me -_- >
[Sat Oct 07 16:26:59 2006] : (2) GM: Blob: Need? Don't know. I'm always hungry, though.
[Sat Oct 07 16:27:07 2006] : (2) GM: What kind of information are you looking for?
[Sat Oct 07 16:27:28 2006] : (1) Kibin: With that dwarven mine, and the psychopathic gnomes...
[Sat Oct 07 16:27:31 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "Yeah, well...it's not like not eating for a prolonged period of time is onna kill you as far as I can tell, so only eat as much as you REALLY need to.
[Sat Oct 07 16:28:03 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < would I know if blobs get smaller if they don't eat? >
[Sat Oct 07 16:29:00 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Anyone else thinking what I was thinking to solve two problems permanently? :)
[Sat Oct 07 16:29:14 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < no, because I can't think... >
[Sat Oct 07 16:29:22 2006] : whispering to Me'hive, Oozes tend to shrink a bit if they're starving, although there's a limit to how small they'll get before they'll die.
[Sat Oct 07 16:29:32 2006] : (2) GM: Oh, right, Int damage earlier.....
[Sat Oct 07 16:29:35 2006] : (1) Kibin: (That, and you don't know what I'm talking about, earlier plot.)
[Sat Oct 07 16:29:42 2006] : (5) Elorin: (what, send the blob to the gnome's home plane?)
[Sat Oct 07 16:30:00 2006] : (1) Kibin: (No. Send the blob to the plane between the gnome's home plane and all the other planes.)
[Sat Oct 07 16:30:42 2006] : (5) Elorin: (you think it would absorb the planar seal spell?)
[Sat Oct 07 16:30:44 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "Hey, mr Blobby. This is how it's gonna work if you wanna survive out here in the free world. Whenever you get bigger than people who look like us, refrain from eating for a while until you're smaller than them. Understand?"
[Sat Oct 07 16:31:11 2006] : (5) Elorin: (if you took int damage before the Restoration, it's gone now)
[Sat Oct 07 16:31:19 2006] : (3) Me'hive: 
[Sat Oct 07 16:31:27 2006] : (2) GM: Blob: Umm... I think so. That could take a long time, though....... and it all looks so tasty.... but hey, you let me out, so.... I guess.
[Sat Oct 07 16:31:29 2006] : (1) Kibin: (That was a joke, I think.)
[Sat Oct 07 16:31:31 2006] : (3) Me'hive: 
[Sat Oct 07 16:32:07 2006] : (1) Kibin: You know, a lot of cities would LOVE a void of magic like that. Can you think of the defensive applications?
[Sat Oct 07 16:32:42 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "I know it all looks tasty, but you gotta bear in mind that this is home for many other creatures. If someone were to take all of your food away how would you feel?"
[Sat Oct 07 16:32:49 2006] : (2) GM: Jason: You mean other than the ones you can get much more simply by using narrow arrow slits to deny line of effect?
[Sat Oct 07 16:33:01 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "and yes, Kibin, I can think of the defensive capabilities of mr Blobby."
[Sat Oct 07 16:33:14 2006] : (1) Kibin: (...I think that's going a little into metagaming territory there.)
[Sat Oct 07 16:33:17 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "I'd rather not, though. "
[Sat Oct 07 16:33:25 2006] : (1) Kibin: ...well, you can blow stone up...
[Sat Oct 07 16:33:34 2006] : (2) GM: (Physics of Magic)
[Sat Oct 07 16:34:01 2006] : (2) GM: Jason: Well, yeah, but then, we also don't know what happens when our friend gets hit by something that doesn't manage to cut him in half......
[Sat Oct 07 16:34:34 2006] : (1) Kibin: No...
[Sat Oct 07 16:34:59 2006] : (1) Kibin: We could put him on that plane with all the magic we found a while back.
[Sat Oct 07 16:35:06 2006] : (2) GM: (Any spellcaster with any ranks in spellcraft would know what kinds of things will stop 1st level spells; you can't get a magic missle through an arrow slit two inches wide no matter how tall it is)
[Sat Oct 07 16:35:16 2006] : (1) Kibin: Plenty for him to eat there.
[Sat Oct 07 16:35:19 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "And how do you figure we go about doing that?"
[Sat Oct 07 16:35:38 2006] : (2) GM: (A fireball, on the other hand, has a semi-exception in the spell description.....)
[Sat Oct 07 16:36:07 2006] : (1) Kibin: Easy. Walk there.
[Sat Oct 07 16:37:00 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "Well, I'd much rather let him just live out his life as a friend to whatever towns are around."
[Sat Oct 07 16:37:19 2006] : (2) GM: Blob: Magic? Oh, yeah, that other tasty stuff.....
[Sat Oct 07 16:37:23 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < however long they live for... >
[Sat Oct 07 16:37:57 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < hey, where'd you take that damage, Kibin? >
[Sat Oct 07 16:38:01 2006] : (1) Kibin: (*pokes other people*)
[Sat Oct 07 16:38:05 2006] : (2) GM: Blob: Ooh, more firends?
[Sat Oct 07 16:38:17 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "Yes, lots more friends ^_^"
[Sat Oct 07 16:38:20 2006] : (1) Kibin: (The silver bars back there.)
[Sat Oct 07 16:38:30 2006] : ** (3) Me'hive casts Heal on Kibin. **
[Sat Oct 07 16:38:51 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < 150 points. And also on anyone else who was damaged. >
[Sat Oct 07 16:38:58 2006] : (2) GM: He didn't make the assigned DC 30 nor did he fall in the nat-20 clause.
[Sat Oct 07 16:39:17 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < what? >
[Sat Oct 07 16:39:19 2006] : (2) GM: Would that include Jason?
[Sat Oct 07 16:39:33 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < no, jason I'd cast arm on. >
[Sat Oct 07 16:39:38 2006] : (3) Me'hive: Harm >
[Sat Oct 07 16:40:01 2006] : (1) Kibin: (*pokes the people that actually knows what he's talking about....*)
[Sat Oct 07 16:40:14 2006] : (6) Katsuro: (Not I)
[Sat Oct 07 16:40:16 2006] : (2) GM: Reflex save to avoid damage - to get out of the way of the flying bars - Me'hive rolled a 20, as I recall....
[Sat Oct 07 16:40:22 2006] : (6) Katsuro: (If you mean the hypercube.)
[Sat Oct 07 16:40:35 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < yeah, I got a nat 20 on my roll. >
[Sat Oct 07 16:40:40 2006] : (1) Kibin: (*pokes elorin, NPC kaylin, and Jason then.*)
[Sat Oct 07 16:41:09 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < or else it would've had the potential to kill me in one hit I think... >
[Sat Oct 07 16:41:18 2006] : (2) GM: Jason: Umm... thanks, I guess.
[Sat Oct 07 16:41:26 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < yeah, 10d6 would've killed my in one hit if you rolled mostly 6s :P >
[Sat Oct 07 16:41:51 2006] : (2) GM: 10d6 averages 35; sure, the possiblity of 60 exists, but that would just have put you into the "dying" state, not the "dead" state.
[Sat Oct 07 16:42:11 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < still...one hit :P >
[Sat Oct 07 16:42:20 2006] : (2) GM: And work out the probability of 55 or more on 10d6 sometime - it's very, very small.
[Sat Oct 07 16:42:59 2006] : (1) Kibin: (50 is easier, it's 1/3 of 1/3 of 1/3 repeat to 10 times.)
[Sat Oct 07 16:43:11 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < ... >
[Sat Oct 07 16:43:36 2006] : (2) GM: And a wiz-10 with Fireball and Empower can do 10d6*1.5, which averages [10*3.5*1.5] -> 52.5. We're looking at 18th level characters. Yours is fragile.
[Sat Oct 07 16:43:55 2006] : (1) Kibin: (One in 59049 chance.)
[Sat Oct 07 16:44:25 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < yeah, i did that on purpose...I do a lot of damage so I wanted to make sure I couldn't take as much as I was dishing out. if I were to run into another me, I'd die in one hit. >
[Sat Oct 07 16:44:36 2006] : (2) GM: It's higher than that - every 6 means another doesn't have to be a 5 or above. It's a pain to work out the odds, though.
[Sat Oct 07 16:44:42 2006] : (5) Elorin: (wait, flying bars? Do I need to make a retroactive reflex save now?)
[Sat Oct 07 16:44:51 2006] : (1) Kibin: (A chance of rolling 60 on 10d6 is 1 in 60466176.)
[Sat Oct 07 16:45:03 2006] : (2) GM: Rolled it while you were away; you missed, and took 35 slashing.
[Sat Oct 07 16:45:06 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Yeah, you got damaged, wasn't too bad, GM made it for you.)
[Sat Oct 07 16:45:45 2006] : (5) Elorin: (ah)
[Sat Oct 07 16:45:49 2006] : (2) GM: And you just got a Heal from Me'hive.... probably off a scroll, which is a waste with a Favored Soul who knows Heal (and the Mass version) in the party, but hey.......
[Sat Oct 07 16:46:14 2006] : (5) Elorin: (yeah, really, leave healing to the guy who joined specifically as the party healer)
[Sat Oct 07 16:46:25 2006] : (1) Kibin: (And the party archer...)
[Sat Oct 07 16:46:27 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < alright, fine... >
[Sat Oct 07 16:46:32 2006] : (5) Elorin: (that too)
[Sat Oct 07 16:46:34 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Well, the pincushion guy that is.)
[Sat Oct 07 16:46:58 2006] : (2) GM: Anyway, you reach town, with what appears to be a 25-foot diameter black baloon bobbing behind you in the air.
[Sat Oct 07 16:47:13 2006] : (2) GM: The townsfolk look at you rather strangely.
[Sat Oct 07 16:47:22 2006] : (1) Kibin: ("It's okay, I got it at the fair!")
[Sat Oct 07 16:47:24 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < haha, again, I wish I had a leash or a string or something... >
[Sat Oct 07 16:47:28 2006] : (5) Elorin: (I mean, really, a pretty darn big chunk of my spells known are cure X wounds, Heal, and mass versions of same)
[Sat Oct 07 16:47:42 2006] : (2) GM: (Let's see... a dragon, two elves, two humans, a ghost, and a big black blob walk into a town.....)
[Sat Oct 07 16:47:46 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Hehe. If we ever face up against zombies, mass heal will be fun to use. :D
[Sat Oct 07 16:48:03 2006] : (6) Katsuro: "And the last one ducks..."
[Sat Oct 07 16:48:05 2006] : ** (3) Me'hive greets everyone with a warm "Hello!" **
[Sat Oct 07 16:48:18 2006] : (5) Elorin: (plus Raise Dead, Resurrection and True Res)
[Sat Oct 07 16:48:33 2006] : (2) GM: People back away slowly. Then try to hide.
[Sat Oct 07 16:48:41 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < yeah, I ran out of money just before getting Massed version of the two... >
[Sat Oct 07 16:48:58 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "Don't be afraid, it's just my good friend Mr Blobby!"
[Sat Oct 07 16:49:13 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "Say hello, mr Blobbby!"
[Sat Oct 07 16:49:30 2006] : ** (1) Kibin says to the black blob, "Yeah, don't eat the people there... or anything near places where a bunch of people are gathered close together like here. **
[Sat Oct 07 16:49:37 2006] : (2) GM: The mayor of the town, having come back with his cart load of meat, looks at Mr. Blobby, having the courage to actually stand out in the open.
[Sat Oct 07 16:49:53 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "Ah, hello Mr mayor!"
[Sat Oct 07 16:49:57 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "How are you today?"
[Sat Oct 07 16:50:12 2006] : (2) GM: Mayor: Hello. I gather from your conversation that you've brought a man-eating beast to our town?
[Sat Oct 07 16:50:34 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "Bah, he doesn't eat men...not anymore, anyways."
[Sat Oct 07 16:50:47 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "He's pretty friendly once you're saved him from an eternal prison :P "
[Sat Oct 07 16:51:07 2006] : (2) GM: Mayor: Ah. I see. So this is what was hiding under that hill, I imagine?
[Sat Oct 07 16:51:23 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "You guessed it. Isn't it CUUUTE???"
[Sat Oct 07 16:51:37 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "Look at him just float there, he's so cute :D "
[Sat Oct 07 16:51:39 2006] : ** (1) Kibin looks at Me'hive like he's insane. **
[Sat Oct 07 16:52:05 2006] : (2) GM: As does the mayor.
[Sat Oct 07 16:52:22 2006] : (2) GM: Mayor: Yes. Very cute. Umm... how does it work?
[Sat Oct 07 16:52:24 2006] : ** (6) Katsuro thinks you're all insane. **
[Sat Oct 07 16:52:37 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "Well, you talk to it."
[Sat Oct 07 16:52:43 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "Say hi Mr Blobby"
[Sat Oct 07 16:52:53 2006] : (2) GM: Blob: Hi Mr. Blobby.
[Sat Oct 07 16:53:00 2006] : (2) GM: Blob: Who's Mr. Blobby?
[Sat Oct 07 16:53:03 2006] : ** (3) Me'hive laughs. **
[Sat Oct 07 16:53:19 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "You, silly. You never gave me your name, so I decided to call you Mr Blobby."
[Sat Oct 07 16:53:41 2006] : (2) GM: Blob: Oh. Name... is that what you call each other by?
[Sat Oct 07 16:53:47 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < pretty sure i gave him my name...might have accidentally missed that whole transaction, tohugh. >
[Sat Oct 07 16:54:02 2006] : (2) GM: Blob: I was wondering that that was.......
[Sat Oct 07 16:54:09 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "We all call eachother by something different. You can pick a name if you'd like."
[Sat Oct 07 16:54:16 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Is it just me, or is Me'hive completely delusional now?)
[Sat Oct 07 16:54:24 2006] : (2) GM: Blob: I suppose it makes sense. There are so many of you. Mr. Blobby's fine.
[Sat Oct 07 16:54:30 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < has always been...surprised you didn't notice... >
[Sat Oct 07 16:54:40 2006] : (2) GM:

Dinner - back in 30-60 minutes.

[Sat Oct 07 16:54:45 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "Okay, Mr Blobby it is."
[Sat Oct 07 16:54:56 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < I'm gonna go get lunch...
[Sat Oct 07 16:54:59 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Now we wait....)
[Sat Oct 07 16:55:30 2006] : (1) Kibin: (I'm going to get a better supper.)
[Sat Oct 07 16:55:48 2006] : (6) Katsuro: (Spent several hours yesterday dragging tree branches around. Kinda out of it today, besides having stuff to do on occasion today.)
[Sat Oct 07 16:58:43 2006] : (4) Kaylin: Arrgh. Back, finally
[Sat Oct 07 16:58:56 2006] : (4) Kaylin: that was one weeird firewall :(
[Sat Oct 07 16:59:01 2006] : (4) Kaylin: And then, no food for dinner :/
[Sat Oct 07 16:59:04 2006] : (4) Kaylin: Sorry it took so long
[Sat Oct 07 16:59:21 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Well, now you can have supper. :P)
[Sat Oct 07 16:59:47 2006] : (4) Kaylin: hehe
[Sat Oct 07 17:05:29 2006] : (4) Kaylin: So what all did I miss?
[Sat Oct 07 17:05:36 2006] : (4) Kaylin: Seems like we picked up a blob...
[Sat Oct 07 17:05:55 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Me'hive being delusional, the blob eating one of Me'hive's wishes from a scroll that he made I think...)
[Sat Oct 07 17:06:21 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Me suggesting we drop the magic eating blob off in that hypercube plane. Hehe.)
[Sat Oct 07 17:08:29 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Hmmm. Why isn't there a spell that turns silver into a tenth as much gold?)
[Sat Oct 07 17:14:01 2006] : (4) Kaylin: (You'd think a high-level transmutation spell would be able to do that)
[Sat Oct 07 17:14:08 2006] : (4) Kaylin: (Maybe for a bit of an XP cost, but evne so...)
[Sat Oct 07 17:14:57 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Must get shiney silver ball...)
[Sat Oct 07 17:18:38 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < Minor and Greater Creation >
[Sat Oct 07 17:19:32 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Which is TEMPORARY.)
[Sat Oct 07 17:19:42 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < and? >
[Sat Oct 07 17:19:49 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < muahahahaha! >
[Sat Oct 07 17:19:56 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < cast permanancy... >
[Sat Oct 07 17:20:30 2006] : (1) Kibin: (And then hand your magical gold to the shopkeeper that can cast identify...
[Sat Oct 07 17:21:15 2006] : (1) Kibin: (That, and the fact it can't be permanent."
[Sat Oct 07 17:21:20 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < mhmm, or not be a retard and buy something from someone who wouldn't be able to find out about it... >
[Sat Oct 07 17:22:17 2006] : (6) Katsuro: Oh sure, as long as you aren't spending more than 100gp.
[Sat Oct 07 17:22:22 2006] : (6) Katsuro: * ()
[Sat Oct 07 17:23:23 2006] : (1) Kibin: (That has a related question... how do people keep track of all their money when they pay for something costing in the 100,000 GP range? Even with platnium pieces, that's still 10,000 of them.)
[Sat Oct 07 17:23:32 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < well, you can spend as much as you'd like...it'd take 20 min/level for it to disappear again. >
[Sat Oct 07 17:23:55 2006] : (6) Katsuro: (Bags. Pre-counted bags.)
[Sat Oct 07 17:24:04 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < a brain? >
[Sat Oct 07 17:24:22 2006] : (3) Me'hive: 
[Sat Oct 07 17:24:27 2006] : (1) Kibin: (When's the last time you counted to 10,000, let alone 100,000.)
[Sat Oct 07 17:24:53 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Oh yeah, weights and scales. x.x)
[Sat Oct 07 17:25:01 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < there ya go. >
[Sat Oct 07 17:26:23 2006] : (6) Katsuro: (Very big scale. Very big weights.)
[Sat Oct 07 17:27:30 2006] : (1) Kibin: (20 pound weights. Hmmm.)
[Sat Oct 07 17:27:50 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Probally would have 20 pounds the max, and just do it in 1000 increments.
[Sat Oct 07 17:28:00 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Either that, or you pay for it with bars. Hmmm.(
[Sat Oct 07 17:28:07 2006] : (2) GM: Back.
[Sat Oct 07 17:28:34 2006] : (2) GM: Oh, and the last time I counted to 10,000, I was in kindergarted. The teacher made the mistake of asking me to count as high as I could......
[Sat Oct 07 17:28:36 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Or, MAGIC MONEY COUNTING DEVICES! Just wave it over the money and it tells you how much is there! :D)
[Sat Oct 07 17:29:00 2006] : (6) Katsuro: (Long, boring trips - Done that.)
[Sat Oct 07 17:29:24 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Lol.)
[Sat Oct 07 17:29:34 2006] : (6) Katsuro: ('This is the song that never ends...')
[Sat Oct 07 17:29:36 2006] : (1) Kibin: (I think I counted to 1,000 one day when I was bored.)
[Sat Oct 07 17:29:46 2006] : (2) GM: It's called hand-waving the realistic but non-fun part. You know, like getting the rust off your armor after it rains, or glossing over the fact that you can't use a bow when it's humid.....
[Sat Oct 07 17:30:00 2006] : (2) GM: Anyway.....
[Sat Oct 07 17:30:03 2006] : (2) GM:

[Sat Oct 07 17:30:08 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Or female archers.)
[Sat Oct 07 17:30:16 2006] : (4) Kaylin: (Amazons.)
[Sat Oct 07 17:30:32 2006] : (4) Kaylin: (Besides, I know female archers who manage to make it work...)
[Sat Oct 07 17:30:54 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < alright, we had just introduced Mr Blobby to the mayor."
[Sat Oct 07 17:31:26 2006] : (2) GM: Mayor: Ah. So, Mr. Blobby... what do you do, exactly?
[Sat Oct 07 17:31:44 2006] : (2) GM: Blob: I eat. But I've been told I shouldn't eat so much.
[Sat Oct 07 17:32:03 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "He eats magic."
[Sat Oct 07 17:32:30 2006] : (2) GM: Mayor: Ah. Just magic, huh? Well, that we can work with.
[Sat Oct 07 17:32:48 2006] : (1) Kibin: And... life energy.
[Sat Oct 07 17:32:54 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "Haha, I tried casting a Wish spell into it, and he just ate it -_- "
[Sat Oct 07 17:33:00 2006] : (1) Kibin: Which is why he's floating off the ground.
[Sat Oct 07 17:33:10 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "SSSSSHHH!"
[Sat Oct 07 17:33:18 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "Don't wanna scare anyone..."
[Sat Oct 07 17:33:46 2006] : ** (1) Kibin asks Me'hive, "Would you rather have them find out themselves?" **
[Sat Oct 07 17:34:08 2006] : (2) GM: Mayor: Ah. That could be useful. You know, if we were still going to war. Hmm. Still, always handy to have a big stick, even if you don't use it often.
[Sat Oct 07 17:34:26 2006] : ** (3) Me'hive whispers to Kibin, "No, I'd rather Mr Blobby not eat anyone and just have a steady flow of magic pumped into him whenever he needs it." **
[Sat Oct 07 17:36:07 2006] : (2) GM: Mayor: Well, we'll see what we can do. I'm not the most skilled mage in the realm..... but I do have a few tricks. Maybe I could keep you from getting to lean. And if not, well, there's always a field that needs clearing after a harvest, or before planting.
[Sat Oct 07 17:36:37 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "Yeah, there's always that :) "
[Sat Oct 07 17:36:54 2006] : (2) GM: Mayor: Well, Mr. Blobby, would you care to stay here? If you can keep your appetite in check, I suspect we can get along.
[Sat Oct 07 17:37:19 2006] : (3) Me'hive: to Blobby "See, you're making friends already ^_^ "
[Sat Oct 07 17:38:13 2006] : (2) GM: Blob: Yeah, I think so. Although everything looks so... tempting? Oh well. I'll need to learn to keep quiet about that. Just... umm.... eating's kinda just happens... so don't touch me, okay?
[Sat Oct 07 17:38:48 2006] : (2) GM: Mayor: Right. Makes sense, I suppose. I think I can keep the children from getting too curious.....
[Sat Oct 07 17:39:07 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "Or you can just float above all their heads..."
[Sat Oct 07 17:39:31 2006] : (2) GM: Mayor: You've never had children get curious about something out of reach, have you?
[Sat Oct 07 17:40:03 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "Out of reach makes them unable to touch. They can get as curious as they want and never touch Mr Blobby."
[Sat Oct 07 17:41:03 2006] : (2) GM: Mayor: Nope, you haven't. Plain as day. Children will surprise you in what they can do.
[Sat Oct 07 17:41:55 2006] : (1) Kibin: So what can they do, make a flying machine?
[Sat Oct 07 17:42:14 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "I'll bet it'd be pretty tough for them to touch mr Blobby if he's above the town itself. Hell, I'll bet it'd be hard for anyone who doesn't know some decent magic to touch him at that height."
[Sat Oct 07 17:42:36 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "And anyone who can work flying machines or use said magic would be smart enough not to touch something that'll kill you."
[Sat Oct 07 17:42:41 2006] : (1) Kibin: Or someone that can actually fly somehow.
[Sat Oct 07 17:43:02 2006] : (2) GM: Mayor: Not usually. But they can jump off buildings, climb trees, fetch ladders...... and I'm not sure if I could stomach watching him run away from little kids that want to give him a hug....
[Sat Oct 07 17:43:38 2006] : (1) Kibin: Maybe you could coat him in something that would block his 'eating'?
[Sat Oct 07 17:44:07 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "Mr Blobby, is it possible for you to not eat something you touch?"
[Sat Oct 07 17:44:24 2006] : (2) GM: Blob: Not that I've noticed.
[Sat Oct 07 17:44:50 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "Well, go ahead and try...we'll go over to a patch of grass or something in a field and see if you can concentrate hard enough."
[Sat Oct 07 17:45:40 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "Actually, if you've nothing better to do, wanna go and give it a shot right now?"
[Sat Oct 07 17:46:02 2006] : (2) GM: The blob goes over to a field, concentrates, and continues killing grass.
[Sat Oct 07 17:46:12 2006] : (2) GM: Leaves quite the dead swath.
[Sat Oct 07 17:46:23 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "Well, keep giving it a try..."
[Sat Oct 07 17:46:45 2006] : (1) Kibin: And keep killing grass. Look, can't it just have an inert substance over it, so that it doesn't exactly touch things?
[Sat Oct 07 17:46:50 2006] : (1) Kibin: Like paint or something.
[Sat Oct 07 17:47:23 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "Possibly."
[Sat Oct 07 17:47:25 2006] : (2) GM: The mayor thinks for a moment.
[Sat Oct 07 17:47:57 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Or one of those psychoactive skins... TECHNICALLY it's not magic...)
[Sat Oct 07 17:48:02 2006] : (2) GM: Mayor: Perhaps a big cloak? Hmm... we have a few seamstresses in town.... and I do have the gold from the meat sale...... needs to go to a worthy cause anyway.....
[Sat Oct 07 17:48:11 2006] : (2) GM: (it is, however, a magic item.....)
[Sat Oct 07 17:48:50 2006] : (1) Kibin: (No, it's a psionic item. :P)
[Sat Oct 07 17:49:01 2006] : (2) GM: (transparency)
[Sat Oct 07 17:49:12 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < he seems to eat energy in general... >
[Sat Oct 07 17:49:15 2006] : (5) Elorin: (technically it's a psionic item, but default rules are psionics-magic transparency so there's no rules mechanical difference)
[Sat Oct 07 17:49:18 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Yeah, that... but... meh. :P)
[Sat Oct 07 17:49:41 2006] : (5) Elorin: (except for the class you have to be to make it)
[Sat Oct 07 17:49:57 2006] : (2) GM: Mr. Blobby: Come by and visit any time! Oh, and if you bring a snack, I won't say no!
[Sat Oct 07 17:50:25 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "Haha, will do!"
[Sat Oct 07 17:51:43 2006] : (5) Elorin: Well, that's a more satisfactory solution than I was expecting to find.
[Sat Oct 07 17:51:47 2006] : (6) Katsuro: (BRB)
[Sat Oct 07 17:52:04 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < see, and here you thought I was jsut dilusional... >
[Sat Oct 07 17:52:06 2006] : (4) Kaylin: A good all-around solution.
[Sat Oct 07 17:52:08 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < delusional... >
[Sat Oct 07 17:52:14 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < :P >
[Sat Oct 07 17:52:18 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Mostly delusional.)
[Sat Oct 07 17:52:38 2006] : (2) GM: Mayor (quietly): Yeah, I just hope nobody who's a better talker than I am comes by with ill intent.....
[Sat Oct 07 17:53:02 2006] : ** (5) Elorin had almost been expecting to be passing around Death Wards right before a coordinated sudden whole-party attack **
[Sat Oct 07 17:53:28 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Yeah, well, I still don't want to be touching that thing. :P)
[Sat Oct 07 17:53:49 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "Well, I'm sure Mr Blobby can take care of himself. ;) "
[Sat Oct 07 17:54:01 2006] : (5) Elorin: That's not what he's worried about
[Sat Oct 07 17:54:10 2006] : (2) GM: (Especially as it eats magic as well as life energy... and Death Ward is a spell......)
[Sat Oct 07 17:54:35 2006] : (4) Kaylin: (what *was* it, anyways?)
[Sat Oct 07 17:54:56 2006] : (5) Elorin: (a magic-absorbing blob)
[Sat Oct 07 17:55:02 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < confused as to why Death Ward is brought up...if it's a spell it'll just be eaten like everything else. >
[Sat Oct 07 17:55:07 2006] : (4) Kaylin: (well, yeah....)
[Sat Oct 07 17:55:41 2006] : (2) GM: (for negative level protection; it's within the DM's perogative to make custom monsters - you aren't liable to find that thing anywhere)
[Sat Oct 07 17:56:00 2006] : (4) Kaylin: (cool)
[Sat Oct 07 17:56:24 2006] : (5) Elorin: (I was assuming it at least wouldn't get eaten automatically since it's not directed at the blob itself, and it would block all negative levels as long as it remained effective)
[Sat Oct 07 17:56:26 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < curious as to what happens when Disjunction is cast into him... -_- >
[Sat Oct 07 17:56:50 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Don't make me use the poke of doom on you. :P)
[Sat Oct 07 17:57:04 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < hahaha, good luck... >
[Sat Oct 07 17:57:12 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < Mt Blobby got my back :P >
[Sat Oct 07 17:57:32 2006] : (1) Kibin: (You mean while you cast Disjunction on him?)
[Sat Oct 07 17:57:49 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < no way in hell i'm casting Disjunction at him... >
[Sat Oct 07 17:58:15 2006] : (2) GM: (I've mostly been modeling the eating magic as a short-range anti-magic field - so even Disjunction has a good chance of getting eaten. Of course, as he just grows with eating, the energy is still all there......)
[Sat Oct 07 17:58:46 2006] : (2) GM: (And the mages that trapped him found a way to harvest from him......)
[Sat Oct 07 17:58:49 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Meaning that Me'hive could get his XP back. *cough*)
[Sat Oct 07 17:59:09 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < that'd be great if I could get my XP back... >
[Sat Oct 07 17:59:20 2006] : (2) GM: Yep. He told you roughly how the mages were doing it....
[Sat Oct 07 17:59:35 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < so I need a straw? >
[Sat Oct 07 18:00:02 2006] : (5) Elorin: (yeah, but I think he might stop considering you a friend if you try it)
[Sat Oct 07 18:00:18 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < which is why I never tried it... >
[Sat Oct 07 18:00:36 2006] : (2) GM: Kibin did get that little piece seperated, and you had permission to expiriment.....
[Sat Oct 07 18:00:57 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < another thing I missed... >
[Sat Oct 07 18:01:30 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < hmm... >
[Sat Oct 07 18:01:54 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "Mr Blobby, when the Cabal Mages made you bleed and then ate what they took, did it physicall hurt you? >
[Sat Oct 07 18:02:34 2006] : (2) GM: Blob: Mostly it just made me tireder and hungry. And made things bigger.
[Sat Oct 07 18:02:57 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "But you weren't upset about it afterwords?"
[Sat Oct 07 18:03:03 2006] : (6) Katsuro: Or you smaller.
[Sat Oct 07 18:03:30 2006] : (1) Kibin: (*has a sudden urge to kill the thing and get all the XP from it, skyrocketing into epic levels. :P*)
[Sat Oct 07 18:03:35 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "Actually, seeing as how he was takling to the mages only back then, the mages could very well have gotten bigger...or both."
[Sat Oct 07 18:04:17 2006] : (2) GM: Blob: Yeah... I'm still having some trouble with the distinction. But it made the ground and stuff bigger too, so.... anyway, it made me hungry, but I'm always hungry. Mostly rather annoying.
[Sat Oct 07 18:04:43 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "Well, if it annoys I won't try it."
[Sat Oct 07 18:04:58 2006] : (2) GM: Blob: Why? You need some for something? I'm free! I can deal with a little annoyance.
[Sat Oct 07 18:05:23 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "You sure? I wouldn't wanna sacrifice my friendship with you for some greedy ambitions."
[Sat Oct 07 18:05:44 2006] : ** (1) Kibin stays with Me'hive, watching him suspiciously. **
[Sat Oct 07 18:06:02 2006] : ** (4) Kaylin looks at the sky and tries to estimate how much daylight is left **
[Sat Oct 07 18:06:07 2006] : (2) GM: Blob: You saved me, after all. Better half-full and free than full and slaved. And I've been overeating recently anyway.
[Sat Oct 07 18:06:13 2006] : (2) GM: About an hour.
[Sat Oct 07 18:06:54 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "Yeah, but wouldn't it be best if you were full and free? I mean, it's your choice, friend."
[Sat Oct 07 18:07:02 2006] : ** (6) Katsuro mutters something about 'wizards' and 'well-enough alone'. **
[Sat Oct 07 18:07:17 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < ooh, can I listen check that? >
[Sat Oct 07 18:07:23 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < :P >
[Sat Oct 07 18:07:25 2006] : (2) GM: Blob: Well, you hungry too... and you're a friend. And I've got some to share.
[Sat Oct 07 18:07:41 2006] : (2) GM: Listen check - If you like.
[Sat Oct 07 18:07:47 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "Alright, thanks. I'll be right back with a straw :P "
[Sat Oct 07 18:08:01 2006] : ** (4) Kaylin pulls a face at Katsuro **
[Sat Oct 07 18:08:03 2006] : (3) Me'hive: Listen: [1d20-1] -> [13,-1] = (12)
[Sat Oct 07 18:08:05 2006] : (1) Kibin: Listen Skill Check: [1d20+21] -> [16,21] = (37)
[Sat Oct 07 18:08:23 2006] : ** (3) Me'hive goes to find a straw." **
[Sat Oct 07 18:08:35 2006] : (2) GM: Kibin hears Katsuro quite plainly; Me'hive only hears him mutter something, but can't make it out.
[Sat Oct 07 18:08:37 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < a really long straw, too. >
[Sat Oct 07 18:08:47 2006] : (2) GM: You find a few things nearby that look like they'll work.
[Sat Oct 07 18:08:58 2006] : (2) GM: Some of which is actual straw.
[Sat Oct 07 18:09:07 2006] : (6) Katsuro: (Basically, 'wizards who won't leave well-enough alone.)
[Sat Oct 07 18:09:10 2006] : ** (3) Me'hive grabs those things as long as nobody cares and walks back to Blobby. **
[Sat Oct 07 18:09:24 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < yeah, wizzards are silly... >
[Sat Oct 07 18:09:37 2006] : (2) GM: The blob drops a smallish pseudopod down to Me'hive.
[Sat Oct 07 18:09:59 2006] : ** (3) Me'hive begins drinking the smallish pseudopod. **
[Sat Oct 07 18:10:09 2006] : (2) GM: How much are you trying for?
[Sat Oct 07 18:10:14 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < haha, and now i get to make a willsave.. >
[Sat Oct 07 18:10:39 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < idk, however much I can get, I guess... it didn't really matter to me, I just thought it'd be kinda neet. >
[Sat Oct 07 18:10:53 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < if you want I can calculate how much it took for that scroll. .
[Sat Oct 07 18:11:00 2006] : (2) GM: Ookay. Make a fort save.
[Sat Oct 07 18:11:13 2006] : (3) Me'hive: Fortitude: [1d20+10] -> [16,10] = (26)
[Sat Oct 07 18:11:17 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < yay! >
[Sat Oct 07 18:12:15 2006] : (2) GM: And you feel a strong burning sensation; take [1d6] -> [1] = (1) points of Con damage. And add 6,000 xp to your crafting pool.
[Sat Oct 07 18:14:02 2006] : (3) Me'hive: hm...
[Sat Oct 07 18:14:12 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "Ah, that kinda burned..."
[Sat Oct 07 18:14:24 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "Thanks a bunch, Blobby!"
[Sat Oct 07 18:14:51 2006] : (2) GM: (note: A Scroll of Wish would cost 5,153 xp and 1912.5 gp at caster level 17; the 5,000 xp component changes the market price, but it's a component that's paid seperate from the normal crafting price).
[Sat Oct 07 18:15:43 2006] : (2) GM: (sort of like how a Scroll of Identify costs 125 gp to buy - 25 gp for the scroll, wich costs 12.5 gp and 1 xp to make, and 100 gp for the material component)
[Sat Oct 07 18:16:07 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < ok >
[Sat Oct 07 18:16:19 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < I'm happy with the 6k
[Sat Oct 07 18:16:24 2006] : (2) GM: Blob: You're welcome. You showed me all kinds of things! But you watch your weight too, okay?
[Sat Oct 07 18:16:37 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "Haha, will do ;) "
[Sat Oct 07 18:17:41 2006] : (2) GM: Mayor: Well, I must admit, that is the single strangest sight I've ever seen. Well, time for me to be getting my old bones to bed.
[Sat Oct 07 18:18:02 2006] : (4) Kaylin: Sleep well... we should find somewhere to rest too.
[Sat Oct 07 18:18:07 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "Okay, take care mr Mayor."
[Sat Oct 07 18:18:34 2006] : (2) GM: Mayor: I'll try. Shouldn't be quite as hard for a while........
[Sat Oct 07 18:18:54 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < is the Con damage permanant or temporary? >
[Sat Oct 07 18:19:45 2006] : (2) GM: Damage = Temporary unless otherwise specified; Drain = Permanent until cured. Be glad you passed the save. 2d6 averages 7, and has about a 40% chance of 8 or higher......
[Sat Oct 07 18:19:52 2006] : (5) Elorin: (permanent would be drain)
[Sat Oct 07 18:20:21 2006] : (2) GM: You recover a point of ability damage on each stat for a normal night's rest.
[Sat Oct 07 18:20:27 2006] : (5) Elorin: (Me'Hive only has 8 con?)
[Sat Oct 07 18:20:42 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < okay, then I'm gonna take those 6k XP and make some ink of Restoration. And y es, I only have 8 con. >
[Sat Oct 07 18:20:44 2006] : (5) Elorin: (get an Amulet of Health ASAP)
[Sat Oct 07 18:20:56 2006] : (2) GM: (He's deliberately living life on the edge)
[Sat Oct 07 18:20:59 2006] : (5) Elorin: (that's just ASKING to die at this level)
[Sat Oct 07 18:21:22 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < yeah, if I were to get more health I'd become too powerful, and then everyone would call me a minmaxer... >
[Sat Oct 07 18:22:06 2006] : (2) GM: (That's what True Ressurection is for, right? It's not like he decided to play a Venerable character with the -6 penalty to Str, Dex, and Con for the corresponding +3 to Int, Wis, and Charisma......)
[Sat Oct 07 18:22:22 2006] : (2) GM: (Then he could have a Con of 2!)
[Sat Oct 07 18:22:33 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < lol... .
[Sat Oct 07 18:22:44 2006] : (2) GM: (And if he'd gone with a Venerable Elf......)
[Sat Oct 07 18:22:47 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Yeah, but now that I know you have to use XP for all those items and scrolls, you're not as powerful. :P)
[Sat Oct 07 18:23:21 2006] : (2) GM: You may enjoy the crafting portal campaign feature a bit much, though.......
[Sat Oct 07 18:23:34 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < i'd have gotten a manual of con well before anything happened... >
[Sat Oct 07 18:24:06 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < alright, I've got a little bit of money left, what else should I get? >
[Sat Oct 07 18:24:12 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < ring of wish at will? >
[Sat Oct 07 18:24:18 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < ROFLMAO JK!!!! >
[Sat Oct 07 18:24:32 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Um... amulet of health?)
[Sat Oct 07 18:24:43 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < alright...I'll get an amulet of health.
[Sat Oct 07 18:24:50 2006] : (5) Elorin: (you realize that costs 500000 xp just for the xp cost part of the spell?)
[Sat Oct 07 18:24:52 2006] : (2) GM: If you can afford the 500,000 or so XP component.......
[Sat Oct 07 18:25:19 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < haha...I can't.. :( >
[Sat Oct 07 18:25:33 2006] : (5) Elorin: (which no one can without exploiting loopholes that simply remove the xp cost until sufficiently far into epic that it's not overpowered at all)
[Sat Oct 07 18:25:36 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Without mister blobby that is. :D)
[Sat Oct 07 18:26:18 2006] : (2) GM: ... and the 11,016 xp for the 9th level command-word spell.... and the 137,700 gp to actually contain it all......
[Sat Oct 07 18:26:21 2006] : (5) Elorin: (and somehow I don't think our DM will allow any such exploits to actually work)
[Sat Oct 07 18:26:50 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Heh. You mean the thought bottle abuse?)
[Sat Oct 07 18:26:55 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < okay, 8100 gold and 1620 XP later...AMULET OF HEALTH! >
[Sat Oct 07 18:27:17 2006] : (5) Elorin: (that would only work if you had 500000 xp in the first place)
[Sat Oct 07 18:27:22 2006] : (1) Kibin: (And a bit more for the crafting portal. Something like a day in a single round or something.)
[Sat Oct 07 18:27:28 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < um...[18*3] -> 54 >
[Sat Oct 07 18:27:41 2006] : (2) GM: (It's Will half. The amount of Con damage depends on how much you draw. Thought bottles are banned. And Blobby would get annoyed with someone asking too much........ and you don't want blobby angry.)
[Sat Oct 07 18:27:43 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < holy shit... I nearly doubled my health O.O >
[Sat Oct 07 18:27:49 2006] : (5) Elorin: (I was thinking more along the lines of Gate + monster with Wish SLA + create magic item function of Wish)
[Sat Oct 07 18:28:18 2006] : (2) GM: [6*6*500] -> 18000 gp and [6*6*1000/25] -> 1440 xp for a +6 Amulet of Health
[Sat Oct 07 18:28:25 2006] : (5) Elorin: (or does Shapechange grant SLA's?)
[Sat Oct 07 18:28:50 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Supernatural abilities only.)
[Sat Oct 07 18:28:53 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < you forget the key propperties of the artificer...we get feats and whatnot that'll reduce the price...or at least we . >
[Sat Oct 07 18:28:57 2006] : (5) Elorin: (nope, need to Gate in an actual Pit Fiend/Efreeti/whatever)
[Sat Oct 07 18:29:03 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < can >
[Sat Oct 07 18:29:12 2006] : (5) Elorin: (yes, but only 25%)
[Sat Oct 07 18:29:26 2006] : (5) Elorin: (and the footnote that allowed them to stack was errataed away)
[Sat Oct 07 18:29:49 2006] : (3) Me'hive: 
[Sat Oct 07 18:30:03 2006] : (2) GM: (Shapechange gets Su, not Sp; and I've got a house (admittedly, stretched) interpertation that says Spell-like and Supernatural abilities can only do the base spell - any extras have to be drawn from somewhere - based off the note attached to the scroll of Wish)
[Sat Oct 07 18:30:32 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < page 282 in the DMG if you're interested. Behind the Curtains. >
[Sat Oct 07 18:30:34 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Yup. And pit fiends and efreetis will level drain you to do it. Heh.)
[Sat Oct 07 18:30:57 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < under the section Other COnsiderations >
[Sat Oct 07 18:31:37 2006] : (5) Elorin: (and actually using that to craft your own items with restrictions that are meaningless to you is definitely something that I consider worthy of the label Munchkin)
[Sat Oct 07 18:32:03 2006] : (3) Me'hive: 
[Sat Oct 07 18:32:15 2006] : (5) Elorin: (otherwise I would have a fair number of items only usable by Chaotic Good Favored Souls and be quite a bit more powerful than I am)
[Sat Oct 07 18:32:18 2006] : (2) GM: Limitations change the market price if you try to sell it; practically, though, they make it more valuable for the character as it can't be stolen and used against them as easily - so for power considerations, it costs the same to make. There's a reason those are called guidelines. And require DM approval. You've seen the Continuous Ring of True Strike, right?
[Sat Oct 07 18:32:49 2006] : (2) GM: But as I said - that's for hashing out on the boards after the session.
[Sat Oct 07 18:32:54 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < no, I've never seen the ring of continuous true strike... >
[Sat Oct 07 18:32:57 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Actually that doesn't work. You first have to compare it to similar items.)
[Sat Oct 07 18:33:11 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Like a +20 weapon.)
[Sat Oct 07 18:33:41 2006] : (2) GM: (Stricctly speaking, there isn't one - but yes, a +20 Insight Bonus is more valuable in the hands of someone with Power Attack than a +10 weapon)
[Sat Oct 07 18:33:48 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < no, it'd only b a +20 to hit...not damage. >
[Sat Oct 07 18:33:50 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Anyway we were finding some place to sleep. :P)
[Sat Oct 07 18:34:06 2006] : (2) GM: Hence the specifying of Power Attack - Power Attack for 10.
[Sat Oct 07 18:34:10 2006] : (5) Elorin: (Munchkin = extreme powergamer, often to the extent of bending or combining rules in ways that were never intended and are obviously overpowered)
[Sat Oct 07 18:34:13 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Yes. A +20 weapon, price in half for it only being half as effective.)
[Sat Oct 07 18:34:42 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Everyone has a bit of powergamer in them. :P)
[Sat Oct 07 18:34:56 2006] : (2) GM: With a one-handed weapon, Power Attacking for 10 removes 10 from your attack roll and adds 10 to your damage roll. With a +20 bonus to hit, that makes it essentailly a +10 weapon.
[Sat Oct 07 18:35:01 2006] : (5) Elorin: (some go so far as to include outright breaking rules, usually by not informing a not-so-knowledgeable DM about the full details in the definition, but I just call those people cheaters)
[Sat Oct 07 18:35:14 2006] : (2) GM: +10 attack, +10 damage.
[Sat Oct 07 18:35:41 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Anyway... finding a place to sleep...)
[Sat Oct 07 18:35:45 2006] : (2) GM: With a two-handed weapon, power attacking for 7 grants +14 damage; with the +20 from a ring of true strike, that's a net +13 attack, +14 damage - better than a +13 sword.
[Sat Oct 07 18:36:07 2006] : (2) GM: You find an inn, where everyone's celebrating over oddly uniform steaks.
[Sat Oct 07 18:36:21 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < yeah, but only to one attack. Since it only applies to the next attack in that turn it'll only go for one attack in the entire turn, so the first attack would essentially be a +10 weapon, but the others would be shit...and yes, let's find a place to sleep. >
[Sat Oct 07 18:36:42 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Actually, it applies to all the hits.)
[Sat Oct 07 18:36:56 2006] : (4) Kaylin: (That's why it's so wrong :)
[Sat Oct 07 18:37:03 2006] : (1) Kibin: ("The penalty on attacks and bonus on damage apply until your next turn.")
[Sat Oct 07 18:37:07 2006] : (4) Kaylin: Hmm, looks like people are eating the food...
[Sat Oct 07 18:37:13 2006] : (2) GM: It's a cozy place, made of polished wood, with a bit of smoke in the air - the cieling has a bit of a deposit of waxy buildup.
[Sat Oct 07 18:37:30 2006] : (2) GM: You notice that all the steaks look as though they've had spices added.
[Sat Oct 07 18:37:55 2006] : (2) GM: You can see a man in a white apron and a chef's hat in the back, slowly shaking his head.
[Sat Oct 07 18:38:02 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < You gain temporary, intuitive insight into the immediate future during your next attack. Your next single attack roll (if it is made before the end of the next round) gains a +20 insight bonus. Additionally, you are not affected by the miss chance that applies to attackers trying to strike a concealed target....it's only the next attack roll. Not all in a turn. >
[Sat Oct 07 18:38:22 2006] : (5) Elorin: (that's if you cast it. We're talking about an item that does it continuously)
[Sat Oct 07 18:38:43 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < which would follow the same rules for the item that I have that's continuous...Break Enchantment. >
[Sat Oct 07 18:38:47 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Okay. Let's never, ever, discuss truestrike ever again. :P)
[Sat Oct 07 18:38:55 2006] : (1) Kibin: (And break enchantment.)
[Sat Oct 07 18:38:57 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < aggreed. >
[Sat Oct 07 18:39:06 2006] : (4) Kaylin: (Don't forget to update your HP, Me''hive)
[Sat Oct 07 18:39:08 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Unless one of us gets stoned again.)
[Sat Oct 07 18:39:14 2006] : ** (4) Kaylin wanders up to the proprietor **
[Sat Oct 07 18:39:23 2006] : (4) Kaylin: Do you have a room open?
[Sat Oct 07 18:39:42 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Then it's okay. Happily the DM has kept quiet about the fact that it doesn't work on flesh to stone. :P)
[Sat Oct 07 18:39:51 2006] : (5) Elorin: (and you might want to worry a bit about that AC, too, though you'll need at least a +20 or so total before it's worth it)
[Sat Oct 07 18:39:55 2006] : (2) GM: Inkeep: Yeah, most the people here have houses of their own to go back to.
[Sat Oct 07 18:40:09 2006] : (1) Kibin: (*hugs his 43 AC.*)
[Sat Oct 07 18:40:16 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < lol >
[Sat Oct 07 18:40:23 2006] : (6) Katsuro: (I'm starting to feel kinda sick. Mind if I leave?)
[Sat Oct 07 18:40:26 2006] : (5) Elorin: (hey, I've got 41)
[Sat Oct 07 18:40:28 2006] : (2) GM: (as it has saved his scales several times......)
[Sat Oct 07 18:40:35 2006] : (2) GM: Hope you get to feeling better.
[Sat Oct 07 18:40:40 2006] : (4) Kaylin: (If you're not feeling well, get some sleep and get better!)
[Sat Oct 07 18:40:44 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < wait...you're at your computer and you're feeling sick and wanna leave? >
[Sat Oct 07 18:41:04 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Personally, when I'm sick, I like sitting on a computer all day. :P)
[Sat Oct 07 18:41:07 2006] : (4) Kaylin: All right, so how much is it to rent a room for tonight?
[Sat Oct 07 18:41:14 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Maybe the radiation from the monitor heals me or something.)
[Sat Oct 07 18:41:16 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < exactly what Kibin said... >
[Sat Oct 07 18:41:18 2006] : (6) Katsuro: (Brain going bye-bye. Me going bye-bye. Have fun. :) )
[Sat Oct 07 18:41:21 2006] : (6) Katsuro: Disconnecting from server...
[Sat Oct 07 18:41:23 2006] : (6) Katsuro (exit): 18:41
[Sat Oct 07 18:41:34 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < aw...I couldn't say byebye... >
[Sat Oct 07 18:41:38 2006] : (3) Me'hive: 
[Sat Oct 07 18:42:24 2006] : (1) Kibin: I'll... sleep with the rest of the party, tonight. Little close last time.
[Sat Oct 07 18:43:06 2006] : (2) GM: Inkeep: Well, we've got three rooms, and there's plenty of space near the fire. 2 gp/room/night, or five silvers a head to take a blanket and a platform near the fire, or two silvers a head just to curl up by the fire. Not enough to worry about, for the likes of yourselves, I'd wager.
[Sat Oct 07 18:43:14 2006] : (4) Kaylin: Sleeping on a cloud by yourself far away from us could be considered dangerous, yes...
[Sat Oct 07 18:43:32 2006] : ** (4) Kaylin gives the inkeeper 2 gp **
[Sat Oct 07 18:43:50 2006] : (5) Elorin: (once we're in the room) Considering the events of the past night or two, I think I'll stand watch for all but the 2 hours I need
[Sat Oct 07 18:43:56 2006] : ** (3) Me'hive hands over 2gp to the innkeeper. **
[Sat Oct 07 18:44:04 2006] : (2) GM: The inkeeper hands Kaylin a key, and says "Up the stairs, first door on the left."
[Sat Oct 07 18:44:15 2006] : (1) Kibin: Okay, I'll just keep an ear out for anything...
[Sat Oct 07 18:44:18 2006] : (4) Kaylin: Thank you.
[Sat Oct 07 18:44:23 2006] : (2) GM: The inkeeper hands Me'hive a key, and says "Up the stairs, second door on the left."
[Sat Oct 07 18:44:36 2006] : ** (4) Kaylin goes to the room **
[Sat Oct 07 18:44:38 2006] : (3) Me'hive: "Thank you."
[Sat Oct 07 18:44:42 2006] : (4) Kaylin: Elorin, I think that is an excellent idea...
[Sat Oct 07 18:44:44 2006] : (2) GM: Jason: Well, it has been a while since I had enough rest to really refresh my spells......
[Sat Oct 07 18:45:18 2006] : (2) GM: So everyone just goes to bed?
[Sat Oct 07 18:45:39 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < no, I'm looking up whether it'd be useful to create something to cast force wall for me. >
[Sat Oct 07 18:46:04 2006] : ** (4) Kaylin sits and is meditative **
[Sat Oct 07 18:46:11 2006] : (1) Kibin: (I'm sleeping because glorious blindsense alerts me to any danger. :)
[Sat Oct 07 18:46:23 2006] : (2) GM: Resilient Sphere, if you're using it on yourself, is probably your best option except against Dispel Magic and Anti-Magic Fields.
[Sat Oct 07 18:46:40 2006] : (2) GM: All right - Will saves all around, except for Me'hive.
[Sat Oct 07 18:46:48 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < or Forececage... .
[Sat Oct 07 18:46:51 2006] : (1) Kibin: (OOCly repressing the urge to see if I can flip Kaylin over...)
[Sat Oct 07 18:46:53 2006] : (2) GM: Will save: [1d20+19] -> [1,19] = (20)
[Sat Oct 07 18:46:58 2006] : (1) Kibin: Will save: [1d20+18] -> [13,18] = (31)
[Sat Oct 07 18:47:00 2006] : (4) Kaylin: Will save: [1d20+21] -> [17,21] = (38)
[Sat Oct 07 18:47:06 2006] : (1) Kibin: (WHOOO INVISIBLE!)
[Sat Oct 07 18:47:12 2006] : (5) Elorin: Jason, got another Mage's Private Sanctum available?
[Sat Oct 07 18:47:17 2006] : (4) Kaylin: (Time for another round of... Spiked Chain To The Head!)
[Sat Oct 07 18:47:23 2006] : (1) Kibin: (That doesn't work, remember? x.x)
[Sat Oct 07 18:47:45 2006] : (4) Kaylin: (We tried that last night, I think)
[Sat Oct 07 18:47:47 2006] : (1) Kibin: (It doesn't protect against scrying, it just makes whatever is inside it INVISIBLE to scrying.)
[Sat Oct 07 18:47:50 2006] : (5) Elorin: (it'll at least keep him from telling when I'm not on watch)
[Sat Oct 07 18:48:04 2006] : (5) Elorin: Will save: [1d20+28] -> [1,28] = (29)
[Sat Oct 07 18:48:24 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Does work if they try summoning something something into a wall, and you know two natural 1's isn't a good omen.)
[Sat Oct 07 18:48:47 2006] : (2) GM: And, because someone thought to ask, before Jason goes to bed, he puts up a Private Sanctum. Which is fortunate, with all the nat-1's rolled today.
[Sat Oct 07 18:51:00 2006] : (2) GM: And 11 hours down time (8 for everyone to rest up, 2 for Elorin to rest up, 1 for Elorin to prepare spells), so..... [1d11] -> [7] = (7); 1, 2, or 3 is on Elorin's down-time. In any case, someone is up and watching.
[Sat Oct 07 18:51:13 2006] : (2) GM: So it's on Elorin's watch.
[Sat Oct 07 18:51:15 2006] : (1) Kibin: (*gets an image of demons summoned into walls. Hehehe.*)
[Sat Oct 07 18:51:25 2006] : (5) Elorin: (yay!)
[Sat Oct 07 18:51:30 2006] : (5) Elorin: Dex check: [1d20+6] -> [19,6] = (25)
[Sat Oct 07 18:51:52 2006] : (2) GM: [1d20+12] -> [6,12] = (18)
[Sat Oct 07 18:52:16 2006] : (1) Kibin: (But we still all sleepy. And stuff.)
[Sat Oct 07 18:52:32 2006] : (3) Me'hive: 
[Sat Oct 07 18:52:37 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Oh, and GM, I have something extremely cool for you to consider in your mind.
[Sat Oct 07 18:52:51 2006] : (5) Elorin: (yeah, our enemy doesn't know about you yet and you're in another room)
[Sat Oct 07 18:52:53 2006] : (2) GM: Sometime in the middle of the night, you're awoken to the sound of the inn wall getting ripped off the building.
[Sat Oct 07 18:52:56 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Living Clone. Using the living spell template. :)
[Sat Oct 07 18:53:17 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < oh god... I wanna do that XD >
[Sat Oct 07 18:53:20 2006] : (1) Kibin: ...I hope we don't have to pay for that.
[Sat Oct 07 18:53:22 2006] : ** (4) Kaylin grumbles **
[Sat Oct 07 18:53:26 2006] : (4) Kaylin: We're probably going to have to pay for that.
[Sat Oct 07 18:53:36 2006] : (5) Elorin: *Sigh* Maybe sleeping in inns isn't the best idea right now
[Sat Oct 07 18:53:41 2006] : (2) GM: Everyone has no trouble becoming very much awake, and rolls for initiative.
[Sat Oct 07 18:53:44 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < wait, I wake up to the sound of the inn wall ripping away? >
[Sat Oct 07 18:53:59 2006] : (1) Kibin: Dex check: [1d20+3] -> [3,3] = (6)
[Sat Oct 07 18:54:01 2006] : (4) Kaylin: Dex check: [1d20+2] -> [6,2] = (8)
[Sat Oct 07 18:54:07 2006] : (2) GM: Well, you're probably up already, but essentailly.
[Sat Oct 07 18:54:13 2006] : (3) Me'hive: Initiative: [1d20-1] -> [3,-1] = (2)
[Sat Oct 07 18:54:18 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < BEAT THAT!!!!!!!!! >
[Sat Oct 07 18:54:20 2006] : (2) GM: Dex check: [1d20+5] -> [1,5] = (6)
[Sat Oct 07 18:54:22 2006] : (5) Elorin: (is this the entire wall that's being ripped off?)
[Sat Oct 07 18:54:25 2006] : (4) Kaylin: (hooray for our low rolls :)
[Sat Oct 07 18:54:37 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < hoyl shit...we're gonna get smoked :( >
[Sat Oct 07 18:54:58 2006] : (5) Elorin: (and on the side we're on, or some other side?)
[Sat Oct 07 18:55:04 2006] : (4) Kaylin: (nah, they've only killed one PC before... that was a few encounters ago)
[Sat Oct 07 18:55:08 2006] : (2) GM: Roll off between jason and Kibin
[Sat Oct 07 18:55:14 2006] : (2) GM: Dex check: [1d20+5] -> [3,5] = (8)
[Sat Oct 07 18:55:20 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Eh, it's okay. I took on two of those things while nearly the whole party was stunned. :P)
[Sat Oct 07 18:55:25 2006] : (1) Kibin: Dex check: [1d20+3] -> [16,3] = (19)
[Sat Oct 07 18:55:48 2006] : (4) Kaylin: (wasn't that when Eldon died?)
[Sat Oct 07 18:55:55 2006] : (2) GM: Elorin, Beast, Kaylin, Kibin, Jason, Me'hive
[Sat Oct 07 18:55:58 2006] : (5) Elorin: (yep)
[Sat Oct 07 18:56:00 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < poor Eldon... >
[Sat Oct 07 18:56:03 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Um, no, that was the second time.)
[Sat Oct 07 18:56:08 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < haha, I'm always last =/ >
[Sat Oct 07 18:56:23 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Tank+rogue+invincible commoner with a quarterstaff=pain for enemies. :D)
[Sat Oct 07 18:56:29 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < if I had any money left I'd grab some Dex... >
[Sat Oct 07 18:56:50 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < nvm, no I wouldn't... >
[Sat Oct 07 18:57:45 2006] : (5) Elorin: (so, is the wall of our room still there, or is that the one that got ripped off?)
[Sat Oct 07 18:57:48 2006] : (2) GM: There's only one beast this time. But it's a different beast - much like the one guarding the blood pool oh so long ago (even though it's technically only been two or three days). A Large, red, winged and scaled horned beast, wreathed in flames, stands stands outside the inn, looking in.
[Sat Oct 07 18:58:05 2006] : (4) Kaylin: Knowledge: The Planes Skill Check: [1d20+21] -> [3,21] = (24)
[Sat Oct 07 18:58:18 2006] : (4) Kaylin: (er. Wait, did I identify what that was last time?)
[Sat Oct 07 18:58:20 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < haha, too bad I'm not there =/ >
[Sat Oct 07 18:58:45 2006] : (4) Kaylin: (Me'Hive, you should have been there when we were fighting 3 Balors :P)
[Sat Oct 07 18:58:58 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < GAH!!! NO THANKS!!!!! >
[Sat Oct 07 18:59:02 2006] : (2) GM: (fortunately, yes, you did - Pit fiend - but in your surprise, you can't remember a thing about them)
[Sat Oct 07 18:59:14 2006] : (2) GM: (I kept it to one at a time... and skipped tactics....)
[Sat Oct 07 18:59:19 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < would knowledge religion help? >
[Sat Oct 07 18:59:25 2006] : (5) Elorin: (I seem to recall encountering one of these before and having it paralyze the party with at will Blasphemy)
[Sat Oct 07 18:59:55 2006] : (1) Kibin: (And summoned friend. Heh.)
[Sat Oct 07 19:00:01 2006] : (1) Kibin: (I love monologes. :)
[Sat Oct 07 19:00:04 2006] : (5) Elorin: (so..)
[Sat Oct 07 19:00:06 2006] : (4) Kaylin: (yeah, GM was nice with those balors, they scampered off to butcher townspeople... here, I think...)
[Sat Oct 07 19:00:08 2006] : (5) Elorin: Elorin casts Greater Spell Immunity ( level 8, "As spell immunity, but up to 8th-level spells" )
[Sat Oct 07 19:00:10 2006] : (5) Elorin: Elorin casts Level 8 Spell ( level 8, "Spell slot tracking device" )
[Sat Oct 07 19:00:27 2006] : (2) GM: (Yeah - which is why it wasn't after your deaths, and why he lost track of time.... Blasphemy at-will bites for game balance)
[Sat Oct 07 19:00:49 2006] : (2) GM: What spells?
[Sat Oct 07 19:01:31 2006] : (5) Elorin: (Blasphemy, of course, and Fireball)
[Sat Oct 07 19:01:36 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Why do you think spell immuity,greater is a cleric spell. :)
[Sat Oct 07 19:01:51 2006] : (2) GM: Oh, and you can't D-Door out until you get an action.......
[Sat Oct 07 19:02:11 2006] : (2) GM: And now it's the beast's turn.
[Sat Oct 07 19:02:41 2006] : (5) Elorin: (um, both eligible Power Words)
[Sat Oct 07 19:02:44 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < so glad I'm NOT there -_- >
[Sat Oct 07 19:02:58 2006] : (5) Elorin: (any other nasty no-save spells of 8th level or lower?)
[Sat Oct 07 19:03:01 2006] : (5) Elorin: (I've got one left)
[Sat Oct 07 19:03:16 2006] : (5) Elorin: (Dictum)
[Sat Oct 07 19:03:35 2006] : (2) GM: He hits the sparkcaster with a spell-like ability; targetted Greater Dispel Magic. How many spells do you have active, and at what caster levels? Also magic items can be suppressed this way....
[Sat Oct 07 19:03:37 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < Vampiric TOuch, Produce Flame... >
[Sat Oct 07 19:04:06 2006] : (1) Kibin: (You do note that you can only have one spell immunity up at a time?)
[Sat Oct 07 19:04:08 2006] : (5) Elorin: (to supress a magic item, I think he has to target the item, not the wearer)
[Sat Oct 07 19:04:23 2006] : (5) Elorin: (yes, but I get to pick 1 spell per 4 caster levels)
[Sat Oct 07 19:04:26 2006] : (5) Elorin: (caster level 20)
[Sat Oct 07 19:04:29 2006] : (4) Kaylin: (how far away from us is he?)
[Sat Oct 07 19:04:55 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Holy sweetness I love that spell now. O.o)
[Sat Oct 07 19:05:03 2006] : (1) Kibin: (PROTECT US FROM METEOR SWARM! PLEASE!)
[Sat Oct 07 19:05:09 2006] : (2) GM: He physically ripped the wall off. He's about five feet from where the wall was. You're about five feet in.
[Sat Oct 07 19:05:12 2006] : (5) Elorin: (8th level or lower, sorry)
[Sat Oct 07 19:05:18 2006] : (2) GM: (spell level - ineligible......)
[Sat Oct 07 19:05:22 2006] : (4) Kaylin: (... oh joy)
[Sat Oct 07 19:05:30 2006] : (2) GM: And you're right - items are targetted seperately.
[Sat Oct 07 19:05:32 2006] : (1) Kibin: (nuuuu.....)
[Sat Oct 07 19:05:39 2006] : (2) GM: So list your spells.
[Sat Oct 07 19:05:53 2006] : (2) GM: [1d20+18] -> [16,18] = (34)
[Sat Oct 07 19:06:03 2006] : (1) Kibin: (*cough*chained dispel magic...)
[Sat Oct 07 19:06:39 2006] : (5) Elorin: (aka, most broken use of a 9th level spell slot ever)
[Sat Oct 07 19:06:41 2006] : (2) GM: (fortunately, I'm not giving him Chain Spell-Like Ability - don't want to wipe out everything just yet......)
[Sat Oct 07 19:06:59 2006] : (2) GM: (That's what Big T is for)
[Sat Oct 07 19:07:11 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Hehe. Think you get reflex saves for the secondary targets though.)
[Sat Oct 07 19:07:14 2006] : (4) Kaylin: (mmmm)
[Sat Oct 07 19:07:43 2006] : (1) Kibin: (For Big T, we'll just get Mr. Blobby on him. :)
[Sat Oct 07 19:07:45 2006] : (5) Elorin: (high level adventurers are waaaaaaay too dependent on magical gear, most of which will not have high caster levels)
[Sat Oct 07 19:07:56 2006] : (2) GM: It's half damage or a bonus to the save; Dispel Magic takes neither a save nor deals damage........
[Sat Oct 07 19:08:06 2006] : (1) Kibin: (And laugh at the medium-sized low CR wright that looks like a dead tarrasque. :D)
[Sat Oct 07 19:08:10 2006] : (2) GM: And you got hit with a targetted dispel magic. List your active spells.
[Sat Oct 07 19:08:24 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Hmmm, wait, immune to level drain, nevermind. Back to D&D. x.x)
[Sat Oct 07 19:08:30 2006] : (5) Elorin: (Heroes' Feast from me)
[Sat Oct 07 19:08:37 2006] : (5) Elorin: (anything she's Permanencied)
[Sat Oct 07 19:08:41 2006] : (5) Elorin: (that's probably it)
[Sat Oct 07 19:08:49 2006] : (2) GM: Gone now. First roll was over the 31 needed.
[Sat Oct 07 19:09:07 2006] : (2) GM: So no Persistent Divine Favor?
[Sat Oct 07 19:09:16 2006] : (5) Elorin: (caster level for Heroes' Feast would be 24 with Bead of Karma)
[Sat Oct 07 19:09:22 2006] : (5) Elorin: (huh?)
[Sat Oct 07 19:09:32 2006] : (5) Elorin: (I thought he was targetting Kaylin)
[Sat Oct 07 19:09:37 2006] : (5) Elorin: (she's the sparkcaster)
[Sat Oct 07 19:09:47 2006] : (4) Kaylin: (I haven't done anything yet....)
[Sat Oct 07 19:09:50 2006] : (2) GM: You're the sparkcaster he just witnessed cast a spell.
[Sat Oct 07 19:10:16 2006] : (2) GM: So you've got a Greater Spell Immunity, at least.....
[Sat Oct 07 19:10:23 2006] : (2) GM: [1d20+18] -> [8,18] = (26)
[Sat Oct 07 19:10:25 2006] : (5) Elorin: (first time the term's ever been applied to my character that I recall)
[Sat Oct 07 19:10:34 2006] : (2) GM: Which stays.
[Sat Oct 07 19:10:40 2006] : (5) Elorin: (phew, passed that)
[Sat Oct 07 19:10:42 2006] : (2) GM: Ah.
[Sat Oct 07 19:10:46 2006] : (5) Elorin: (yes, Persistent Divine Favor)
[Sat Oct 07 19:10:53 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < damn...yet another creature that's mmune to practically everythnig I have... >
[Sat Oct 07 19:10:55 2006] : (2) GM: [1d20+18] -> [8,18] = (26)
[Sat Oct 07 19:11:01 2006] : (2) GM: Which also does.
[Sat Oct 07 19:11:04 2006] : (5) Elorin: (also stays)
[Sat Oct 07 19:11:08 2006] : (2) GM: Any other active spells?
[Sat Oct 07 19:11:20 2006] : (5) Elorin: (I think those are the only ones on me rather than my items)
[Sat Oct 07 19:11:35 2006] : (5) Elorin: (also have GMW and Magic Vestments, but those are on gear)
[Sat Oct 07 19:12:04 2006] : (2) GM: They're still on your poerson, though, and it's not suppressing a magic item that way.... so [1d20+18] -> [14,18] = (32) and [1d20+18] -> [2,18] = (20)
[Sat Oct 07 19:12:27 2006] : (2) GM: And the big thing successfully wastes an action.
[Sat Oct 07 19:12:44 2006] : (2) GM: Oh well.
[Sat Oct 07 19:12:48 2006] : (2) GM: Kaylin?
[Sat Oct 07 19:13:03 2006] : ** (4) Kaylin mutters an invocation and... **
[Sat Oct 07 19:13:05 2006] : (4) Kaylin: Kaylin casts Enervation, Quickened ( level 8, "Subject gains 1d4 negative levels." )
[Sat Oct 07 19:13:09 2006] : (5) Elorin: (I thought he did get rid of the Heroes' Feast at least)
[Sat Oct 07 19:13:28 2006] : (4) Kaylin: SR Penetration: [1d20+25] -> [1,25] = (26)
[Sat Oct 07 19:13:43 2006] : (5) Elorin: (oh, and I'm pretty sure I still have the GMW and Vestments set up as extended, so there's two of each with overlapping durations)
[Sat Oct 07 19:13:48 2006] : (2) GM: Oh, right - yeah, with the casting time of 10 minutes, you couldn't have the Bead of Karma up for both that and the other spells, could you? So yeah, it goes down. No longer immune to fear.....
[Sat Oct 07 19:14:02 2006] : (2) GM: Attack roll?
[Sat Oct 07 19:14:16 2006] : (4) Kaylin: Ranged Touch Attack Roll: [1d20+8] -> [17,8] = (25) ===> Damage: [0+0] -> 0
[Sat Oct 07 19:14:18 2006] : (4) Kaylin: Ranged Touch Attack Roll: [1d20+3] -> [5,3] = (8) ===> Damage: [0+0] -> 0
[Sat Oct 07 19:14:57 2006] : (2) GM: And you hit, but the black ray shatters on his scaly hide. The beast laughs.
[Sat Oct 07 19:15:04 2006] : (2) GM: Kibin?
[Sat Oct 07 19:15:15 2006] : (4) Kaylin: (er... that was Quickened)
[Sat Oct 07 19:15:24 2006] : (2) GM: Oh, right. Standard and move?
[Sat Oct 07 19:15:31 2006] : (4) Kaylin: Kaylin casts Wail of the Banshee ( level 9, "Kills one creature/level within 40 ft. radius" )
[Sat Oct 07 19:15:45 2006] : (4) Kaylin: (Matery of Shaping to eliminate friendly fire, etc etc)
[Sat Oct 07 19:16:10 2006] : (2) GM: And SR penetration?
[Sat Oct 07 19:16:20 2006] : (4) Kaylin: SR Penetration: [1d20+25] -> [9,25] = (34)
[Sat Oct 07 19:16:24 2006] : (5) Elorin: (going all out for the quick kill, eh?)
[Sat Oct 07 19:16:29 2006] : (4) Kaylin: (DC 31)
[Sat Oct 07 19:16:41 2006] : (4) Kaylin: (Why not? I haven't had a chance to fling these around for a while)
[Sat Oct 07 19:16:49 2006] : (2) GM: And that gets through. Fort save: [1d20+23] -> [9,23] = (32)
[Sat Oct 07 19:16:54 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < wait, what's spell penetration equal to for magic iiems? >
[Sat Oct 07 19:17:06 2006] : (4) Kaylin: (nooo :( )
[Sat Oct 07 19:17:09 2006] : ** (4) Kaylin moves to the back of the room **
[Sat Oct 07 19:17:12 2006] : (5) Elorin: (whatever caster level the item is at)
[Sat Oct 07 19:17:18 2006] : (1) Kibin: (The caster level of the item, yeah.)
[Sat Oct 07 19:17:22 2006] : (5) Elorin: (I would have laughed if he failed that)
[Sat Oct 07 19:17:34 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Yeah, me too.)
[Sat Oct 07 19:17:38 2006] : (2) GM: Caster level of the item. So a caster level 5 scroll of fireball for 5d6 has a 1d20+5; a caster level 17 scroll of Wish gets 1d20+17.
[Sat Oct 07 19:17:42 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < That's it, just the caster level of the item? No ability score related to it? >
[Sat Oct 07 19:18:00 2006] : (5) Elorin: (ability scores are for save DC's, not SR penetration)
[Sat Oct 07 19:18:03 2006] : (1) Kibin: (...huh, he fails his save on my paralyzing breath on a 2 as well as a 1.)
[Sat Oct 07 19:18:05 2006] : (2) GM: Correct. SR penetration doesn't include ability scores anyway - just feats.
[Sat Oct 07 19:18:37 2006] : (2) GM: And with most items, your ability score doesn't matter - it's the score of the item, which is the minimum needed to cast the spell. So a scroll of Fireball has a save DC of a mere 14.
[Sat Oct 07 19:19:08 2006] : (2) GM: You've got a slight edge when using wands, as you get a class bonus. But it doesn't compare to a proper Wizard with a staff.
[Sat Oct 07 19:19:26 2006] : (2) GM: (who gets to use his own feats and ability modifier for save DC's)
[Sat Oct 07 19:19:40 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Hmmm, is there any way to recharge a staff?)
[Sat Oct 07 19:20:19 2006] : (2) GM: Oh, and he's got a 10 foot reach - AoO: claw [1d20+30] -> [11,30] = (41) for [2d8+13] -> [6,5,13] = (24)
[Sat Oct 07 19:20:29 2006] : (2) GM: Concentration check?
[Sat Oct 07 19:20:31 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Thought staffs were kind of weak, then figured out that they have 50 charges and they use the abilities and caster levels of the sorcerer/wizard using them, then I thought "Holy crap, staffs are really nice.")
[Sat Oct 07 19:20:42 2006] : (4) Kaylin: Concentration Skill Check: [1d20+22] -> [11,22] = (33)
[Sat Oct 07 19:20:50 2006] : (1) Kibin: (And wouldn't Kaylin automatically succeed on the concentration check to cast defensively anyway? :P)
[Sat Oct 07 19:21:05 2006] : (2) GM: And it's 10+damage, so that doesn't pass. Not that it matters overly much.
[Sat Oct 07 19:21:14 2006] : (2) GM: Yes, but it does need to be declared.
[Sat Oct 07 19:21:33 2006] : (4) Kaylin: (Remind me to declare casting defensively next time, Kibin :P)
[Sat Oct 07 19:21:53 2006] : (5) Elorin: (well then I declare that henceforth I always cast defensively because I can't fail the check)
[Sat Oct 07 19:21:56 2006] : (3) Me'hive: can I hear the entire battle going on? >
[Sat Oct 07 19:22:20 2006] : (1) Kibin: (You mean since you're looking at it? O.o)
[Sat Oct 07 19:22:22 2006] : (2) GM: And it's Kibin's turn. Kaylin seems to be in a little bit of a hurt, what with the claw marks and blood just ruining her dress... although the robe is fine.
[Sat Oct 07 19:22:28 2006] : (3) Me'hive: I'm in the next room... >
[Sat Oct 07 19:22:54 2006] : (1) Kibin: (And the inn wall is ripped off...?)
[Sat Oct 07 19:23:06 2006] : (3) Me'hive: oh, that includes mine??? .
[Sat Oct 07 19:23:09 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Wouldn't THAT kind of tip you off to something happening?)
[Sat Oct 07 19:23:27 2006] : (5) Elorin: (yeah, I think you can just lean out a little bit and see the Pit Fiend directly)
[Sat Oct 07 19:23:32 2006] : (2) GM: Yes, the DC's kinda low. And he took off a big section of wall. Both rooms are exposed, although Elorin didn't have line of effect to you for the greater spell immunity. Fortunately, the beast doesn't have you on it's target list... yet.
[Sat Oct 07 19:23:35 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Inn wall ripped off, all three of us in our different rooms are looking at the pit fiend. :P)
[Sat Oct 07 19:23:48 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Anyone flanking?)
[Sat Oct 07 19:23:50 2006] : (3) Me'hive: 
[Sat Oct 07 19:24:00 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < if I can see him then yeah, I'll flank on my turn. >
[Sat Oct 07 19:24:05 2006] : (4) Kaylin: (nope, whole inn... innkeeper is going to be mad at us)
[Sat Oct 07 19:24:10 2006] : (5) Elorin: (I'm the only one with Spell Immunity up)
[Sat Oct 07 19:24:17 2006] : (5) Elorin: (it's touch range and single target)
[Sat Oct 07 19:24:19 2006] : (2) GM: The building is in danger of immenent structural collapse.
[Sat Oct 07 19:24:24 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < haha, he'll be mad at you... >
[Sat Oct 07 19:24:37 2006] : (2) GM: Oh. Yeah. Fun.
[Sat Oct 07 19:24:43 2006] : ** (1) Kibin flies over to the other side of the pit fiend, readying an attack on the pit fiend when someone flanks. **
[Sat Oct 07 19:25:12 2006] : (2) GM: And Jason, ever so thoughtful, walks into position with his quarterstaff. Take your AoO.
[Sat Oct 07 19:25:40 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Um, readied action, not AoO.)
[Sat Oct 07 19:26:01 2006] : (2) GM: Right. Long day. Been getting up at 3:30 for work at 5.
[Sat Oct 07 19:26:07 2006] : (1) Kibin: [1d20+25] -> [20,25] = (45)
[Sat Oct 07 19:26:13 2006] : (1) Kibin: [1d20+25] -> [10,25] = (35)
[Sat Oct 07 19:26:18 2006] : (4) Kaylin: (*whistles* That is a long day)
[Sat Oct 07 19:26:24 2006] : (5) Elorin: (too bad sneak attack doesn't multiply on crits :( )
[Sat Oct 07 19:26:30 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Does the critical confirm(not like it matters much...))
[Sat Oct 07 19:26:36 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < yeah...too bad -_- >
[Sat Oct 07 19:26:38 2006] : (2) GM: You didn't confirm.
[Sat Oct 07 19:26:46 2006] : (2) GM: AC 44.
[Sat Oct 07 19:26:56 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Ah. O.o)
[Sat Oct 07 19:27:06 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < well, at least you hit it... >
[Sat Oct 07 19:27:10 2006] : (4) Kaylin: (This is one buffed up pit fiend....)
[Sat Oct 07 19:27:12 2006] : (1) Kibin: (...so this is going to be a lot of combat expertise and tanking involved.)
[Sat Oct 07 19:27:23 2006] : (1) Kibin: [1d6+6+9d6] -> [6,6,1,1,2,1,2,1,1,3,1] = (25)
[Sat Oct 07 19:27:28 2006] : (1) Kibin: (But... stabby.)
[Sat Oct 07 19:27:42 2006] : (2) GM: You've got a +2 for flanking. But yes, Combat Expertiese is advisable.
[Sat Oct 07 19:27:45 2006] : (5) Elorin: (and a point or two of strength damage as well, I think)
[Sat Oct 07 19:27:52 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Two points!)
[Sat Oct 07 19:28:36 2006] : (2) GM: Dismissal, 5th: Forces a creature to return to native plane.
[Sat Oct 07 19:28:55 2006] : (1) Kibin: (...for future knowledge, wouldn't the ability damage from crippling strike double on a critical?)
[Sat Oct 07 19:29:08 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < hey, I can cast Vampiric Touch on you, Kiba, so that your attacks deal an extra 9d6 damage if you punch them in the face >
[Sat Oct 07 19:29:10 2006] : (2) GM: Well, it is damage, so......
[Sat Oct 07 19:29:19 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < Kibin >
[Sat Oct 07 19:29:25 2006] : (2) GM: Touch Attack, for use with spells (base): [1d20+7] -> [8,7] = (15) ===> Damage: [Bad dice format] - [0d0+0]
[Sat Oct 07 19:29:27 2006] : (2) GM: Touch Attack, for use with spells (second): [1d20+2] -> [11,2] = (13) ===> Damage: [Bad dice format] - [0d0+0]
[Sat Oct 07 19:29:44 2006] : (2) GM: And the ray goes wild.
[Sat Oct 07 19:29:51 2006] : (2) GM: Me'Hive?
[Sat Oct 07 19:30:02 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < Can I see the pitfiend? >
[Sat Oct 07 19:30:15 2006] : (2) GM: Yep.
[Sat Oct 07 19:30:20 2006] : (1) Kibin: (So... 19d6+6 damage on a sneak attack... dang...)
[Sat Oct 07 19:30:37 2006] : ** (3) Me'hive quickened Dimension Door behind the pit fiend. **
[Sat Oct 07 19:30:40 2006] : (5) Elorin: (and gain 9d6 temporary hp)

[Sat Oct 07 19:31:28 2006] : (2) GM: And Kibin, just behind him. Although the extra damage from Vampiric Touch only works once.....
[Sat Oct 07 19:31:30 2006] : (5) Elorin: ("After using this spell, you cant take any other actions until your next turn")
[Sat Oct 07 19:31:39 2006] : (5) Elorin: (third sentence)
[Sat Oct 07 19:31:49 2006] : (2) GM: Which ends your action. So no attacks. Sorry.
[Sat Oct 07 19:31:54 2006] : (1) Kibin: (After using this spell, you cant take any other actions until your next turn.)
[Sat Oct 07 19:31:58 2006] : (2) GM: And Elorin/
[Sat Oct 07 19:32:01 2006] : (3) Me'hive: wtf??? alright, changing it to teleport, then... >
[Sat Oct 07 19:32:17 2006] : (5) Elorin: (assuming room is large enough)
[Sat Oct 07 19:32:25 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Third sentence in the description.)
[Sat Oct 07 19:32:32 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < yeah, saw it... >
[Sat Oct 07 19:32:34 2006] : (1) Kibin: (To prevent total monk ownage. :)
[Sat Oct 07 19:32:39 2006] : ** (5) Elorin 5 foot steps out of reach, activates boots of speed, and starts the machine gun **
[Sat Oct 07 19:32:55 2006] : (5) Elorin: (silver arrows, since I've had personal experience with this type of monster before)
[Sat Oct 07 19:32:57 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Hehe. Machine gun.)
[Sat Oct 07 19:33:01 2006] : (5) Elorin: +1 Holy Composite Longbow (+2 Str) (Rapid Shot) (Point Blank) (attack 1+2) Attack Roll: [1d20+34] -> [19,34] = (53)===> DMG: [1d8+2d6+17+0] -> [6,5,2,17,0] = (30)

[Sat Oct 07 19:33:20 2006] : (2) GM: Do you have Precise Shot?
[Sat Oct 07 19:33:24 2006] : (5) Elorin: (bonus from haste and not having Heroes' Feast cancel out)
[Sat Oct 07 19:33:26 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Me'hive, THAT is an optimized character. :D)
[Sat Oct 07 19:33:28 2006] : (5) Elorin: (yes)
[Sat Oct 07 19:33:45 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < what do you mean Optimized character? >
[Sat Oct 07 19:33:49 2006] : (2) GM: AC 44, so two hits for 65 damage, total.
[Sat Oct 07 19:33:55 2006] : (5) Elorin: (and I haven't cast Divine Power yet)
[Sat Oct 07 19:34:01 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Is really really really good at a certain thing.)
[Sat Oct 07 19:34:04 2006] : (5) Elorin: (:P)
[Sat Oct 07 19:34:17 2006] : (3) Me'hive: <oh, yeah :P >
[Sat Oct 07 19:34:23 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Which is making pincushions out of stuff, and healing. Healing is nice.)
[Sat Oct 07 19:34:30 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < and now you guys know, I flank my target and deal enormous damage... >
[Sat Oct 07 19:34:33 2006] : (1) Kibin: (And utility.)
[Sat Oct 07 19:34:53 2006] : (5) Elorin: (yes, Miracle is the ultimate utility spell)
[Sat Oct 07 19:35:05 2006] : (5) Elorin: (of course, I also have a few lower level ones :P)
[Sat Oct 07 19:35:27 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Hey cool, vampiric touch is a touch attack, and as a weapon-like spell I can sneak attack with it...)
[Sat Oct 07 19:35:38 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < yup. >
[Sat Oct 07 19:35:40 2006] : (4) Kaylin: (Just out of curiosity... if I shapechanged into a beholder, could I really launch 10 Fingers of Death at the pit fiend?)
[Sat Oct 07 19:35:44 2006] : (2) GM: And it's the beast's turn...... he lets loose a Quickened Fireball...... Me'hive, Kibin, Jason, Kaylin - in range, Reflex save.
[Sat Oct 07 19:35:46 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < too bad I didn't cast it on you :P >
[Sat Oct 07 19:35:51 2006] : (4) Kaylin: (or just the 1?)
[Sat Oct 07 19:35:56 2006] : (3) Me'hive: Reflex: [1d20+10] -> [4,10] = (14)
[Sat Oct 07 19:35:58 2006] : (1) Kibin: Reflex save: [1d20+24] -> [4,24] = (28)

[Sat Oct 07 19:36:10 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Whoooo aerial acrobatics.)
[Sat Oct 07 19:36:15 2006] : (5) Elorin: (oh yeah, forgot silver has -1 damage)
[Sat Oct 07 19:36:21 2006] : (5) Elorin: (so only 63 damage total)
[Sat Oct 07 19:37:02 2006] : (2) GM: DC 21; Kibin - no damage. Kaylin, half damage; Me'hive: Full damage. [10d6] -> [2,3,4,3,5,4,2,1,3,6] = (33)
[Sat Oct 07 19:37:18 2006] : ** (5) Elorin laughs at the flames that don't even tough him :P **
[Sat Oct 07 19:37:24 2006] : (5) Elorin: (*touch)
[Sat Oct 07 19:37:37 2006] : (5) Elorin: (I like Spell Immunity :D)
[Sat Oct 07 19:37:51 2006] : ** (1) Kibin does fun aerial acrobatics to dodge the flames. Wheeee! **
[Sat Oct 07 19:38:34 2006] : (2) GM: You weren't in range of the spread anyway - started at 10 feet, backed off to 15, and he has people on both sides of himself to burn. And he's got a 10-foot space.
[Sat Oct 07 19:38:57 2006] : (5) Elorin: (plus I'd almost certainly evade, too)
[Sat Oct 07 19:39:11 2006] : (2) GM: And he concentrates... [1d20+29] -> [17,29] = (46)
[Sat Oct 07 19:39:24 2006] : (2) GM: Oh, and Elorin - Will save.
[Sat Oct 07 19:39:32 2006] : (5) Elorin: Will save: [1d20+28] -> [7,28] = (35)
[Sat Oct 07 19:39:39 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < crap, this guy's got a lot of health... >
[Sat Oct 07 19:39:47 2006] : (2) GM: Success - you're shaken.
[Sat Oct 07 19:40:03 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Don't look at the monster sheet entry. It only gives you nightmares. :P)
[Sat Oct 07 19:40:29 2006] : (2) GM: Ah, looking up the monster while we're playing? Guess I'lll have to start switching feats around.... Chain Spell-like ability seems a reasonable feat when there's Quicken out there.....
[Sat Oct 07 19:40:49 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < actually, I was talking strictly about the amount of damage I did myself... >
[Sat Oct 07 19:40:52 2006] : (4) Kaylin: (Mercy!)
[Sat Oct 07 19:41:02 2006] : (3) Me'hive: 
[Sat Oct 07 19:41:27 2006] : (5) Elorin: (uh, if that's from the fear aura, I think the save is supposed to negate it)
[Sat Oct 07 19:41:29 2006] : (1) Kibin: (I have most of the SRD memorized, but I tend to forget several specific details. And recently I've been holding back and not looking at the monster sheets when we're fighting it. x.x)
[Sat Oct 07 19:41:48 2006] : (2) GM: And he successfully concentrates - and gets a spell off.... at the guy with the arrows that really hurt.
[Sat Oct 07 19:42:01 2006] : (5) Elorin: Spellcraft Skill Check: [1d20+22] -> [20,22] = (42)
[Sat Oct 07 19:42:04 2006] : (1) Kibin: (If the Will save succeeds, the creature is shaken for 1 round.)
[Sat Oct 07 19:42:23 2006] : (1) Kibin: (You are immune to it for an entire day, though, so you're only shaken for one round.)
[Sat Oct 07 19:42:43 2006] : (2) GM: Touch attacks: [1d20+25] -> [11,25] = (36), [1d20+25] -> [9,25] = (34), [1d20+25] -> [11,25] = (36), [1d20+25] -> [5,25] = (30)
[Sat Oct 07 19:42:54 2006] : (2) GM: Vs. Elorin - what's your touch AC?
[Sat Oct 07 19:43:16 2006] : whispering to Elorin, Meteor Swarm, of course - you actually hurt him.....
[Sat Oct 07 19:43:19 2006] : (5) Elorin: (35)
[Sat Oct 07 19:43:21 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < wait a tick, this thing can launch spells/spell-like abilities behind himself? >
[Sat Oct 07 19:43:32 2006] : (1) Kibin: (So happy I have Elorin to soak that up for me. That's twice now Elorin has been the target instead of me. Heh.)
[Sat Oct 07 19:43:38 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Um, this is 3.5, there is no facing.)
[Sat Oct 07 19:43:59 2006] : (2) GM: No facing. And if you want to be picky, he hasn't used his move action.
[Sat Oct 07 19:44:06 2006] : (2) GM: So yes.
[Sat Oct 07 19:44:12 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < yeah, but you still have be in line of sight with your target... >
[Sat Oct 07 19:44:57 2006] : (1) Kibin: (And if you want to be even MORE picky, the facing variant lets you change facing with a free action once per turn.)
[Sat Oct 07 19:45:05 2006] : (2) GM: So [4d6] -> [1,4,6,3] = (14) bludgeoning to Elorin, and [12d6] -> [2,3,3,6,2,1,1,2,2,4,3,1] = (30) in two increments he can't save against, and two reflex saves.
[Sat Oct 07 19:45:12 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < I'm not getting picky... >
[Sat Oct 07 19:45:25 2006] : (5) Elorin: Reflex save: [1d20+22] -> [10,22] = (32)
[Sat Oct 07 19:45:27 2006] : (5) Elorin: Reflex save: [1d20+22] -> [5,22] = (27)
[Sat Oct 07 19:45:29 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < just bringing it up in case it matters...which it realyl doesn't to me. >
[Sat Oct 07 19:45:31 2006] : (2) GM: Oh, and Kaylin, Jason - four reflex saves each.
[Sat Oct 07 19:45:39 2006] : (5) Elorin: (also, fire resist 10)
[Sat Oct 07 19:45:55 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < I tohught that they were immune to fire and acid...
[Sat Oct 07 19:46:07 2006] : (5) Elorin: (which makes that 24 total damage if I made both saves)
[Sat Oct 07 19:46:13 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < and had resistance 10 vs the other types of stuff except sonic or something. >
[Sat Oct 07 19:46:15 2006] : (2) GM: DC 27 - two saves. Lucky ring of Evasion. So Elorin takes, all told, 24 damage.
[Sat Oct 07 19:46:25 2006] : (2) GM: Reflex save: [1d20+14] -> [4,14] = (18)
[Sat Oct 07 19:46:27 2006] : (4) Kaylin: Reflex save: [1d20+13] -> [3,13] = (16)
[Sat Oct 07 19:46:30 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Um, they're immune to fire and posion.)
[Sat Oct 07 19:46:32 2006] : (4) Kaylin: Reflex save: [1d20+13] -> [1,13] = (14)
[Sat Oct 07 19:46:34 2006] : (4) Kaylin: Reflex save: [1d20+13] -> [3,13] = (16)
[Sat Oct 07 19:46:36 2006] : (4) Kaylin: Reflex save: [1d20+13] -> [4,13] = (17)
[Sat Oct 07 19:46:38 2006] : (4) Kaylin: (go me)
[Sat Oct 07 19:46:40 2006] : (2) GM: Reflex save: [1d20+14] -> [18,14] = (32)
[Sat Oct 07 19:46:41 2006] : (2) GM: Reflex save: [1d20+14] -> [20,14] = (34)
[Sat Oct 07 19:46:47 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < wow...2 3s... >
[Sat Oct 07 19:46:49 2006] : (2) GM: Reflex save: [1d20+14] -> [7,14] = (21)
[Sat Oct 07 19:46:59 2006] : (1) Kibin: (And a 1. And a 4.)
[Sat Oct 07 19:47:09 2006] : (2) GM: And jason's incorporeal... 51 or higher makes a miss: [4d100] -> [47,100,60,83] = (290)
[Sat Oct 07 19:47:30 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < haha, one hits :P >
[Sat Oct 07 19:47:37 2006] : (2) GM: Only the first has any effect on Jason; he takes [6d6] -> [6,6,3,6,3,3] = (27) damage.
[Sat Oct 07 19:47:48 2006] : (2) GM: Kaylin, not so lucky, takes the full [24d6] -> [3,2,3,3,2,4,4,3,6,1,3,1,3,2,2,1,5,5,3,4,4,4,3,4] = (75)
[Sat Oct 07 19:47:51 2006] : (4) Kaylin: (I'm in biiiiig trouble....)
[Sat Oct 07 19:48:02 2006] : (5) Elorin: (I, um, hope this doesn't kill Kaylin...)
[Sat Oct 07 19:48:04 2006] : (4) Kaylin: (I'm unconscious, -2)
[Sat Oct 07 19:48:15 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < crap...SAVE HER!>
[Sat Oct 07 19:48:18 2006] : (5) Elorin: (oh yeah, Heroes' Feast temp hp: [1d8+10] -> [4,10] = (14))
[Sat Oct 07 19:48:27 2006] : (2) GM: So 12 HP.
[Sat Oct 07 19:48:29 2006] : (4) Kaylin: (I'm not unconscious :P)
[Sat Oct 07 19:48:40 2006] : (4) Kaylin: (sweet.)
[Sat Oct 07 19:48:42 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < but still...SAVE HER! >
[Sat Oct 07 19:48:46 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < lol >
[Sat Oct 07 19:48:48 2006] : (2) GM: And it's your turn.
[Sat Oct 07 19:48:55 2006] : (4) Kaylin: (OK, this changes my plan for this turn...)
[Sat Oct 07 19:48:58 2006] : (2) GM: Kaylin.
[Sat Oct 07 19:49:05 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < which "your"? >
[Sat Oct 07 19:49:08 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < ok >
[Sat Oct 07 19:49:10 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Just wait till my turn, and hope for a 1 in 10 chance. :P)
[Sat Oct 07 19:49:17 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < lol >
[Sat Oct 07 19:49:40 2006] : (5) Elorin: (meh, don't worry about your hp, I've got a Mass Heal coming right up)
[Sat Oct 07 19:49:46 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Which I have high hopes of achieving, as it's about time someone rolled low on it. :)
[Sat Oct 07 19:49:55 2006] : (4) Kaylin: (Oh, goody)
[Sat Oct 07 19:50:13 2006] : (4) Kaylin: (in that case... casting defensively...)
[Sat Oct 07 19:50:19 2006] : (4) Kaylin: Concentration Skill Check: [1d20+22] -> [6,22] = (28)
[Sat Oct 07 19:50:27 2006] : (5) Elorin: (haven't used many spells all day, so I've got plenty to burn now)
[Sat Oct 07 19:50:32 2006] : (2) GM: For what spell?
[Sat Oct 07 19:50:36 2006] : (4) Kaylin: Kaylin casts Crushing Hand ( level 9, "Creates a disembodied magic hand that can interpose, push, or grapple one opponent." )
[Sat Oct 07 19:51:01 2006] : (1) Kibin: (How about a miracle that all pit fiends in the universe would spontanously implode and die? :P)
[Sat Oct 07 19:51:09 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < lol grapple against it and then use crushing hand to crush him while in there... >
[Sat Oct 07 19:51:22 2006] : (3) Me'hive: 
[Sat Oct 07 19:51:28 2006] : (5) Elorin: (If Ehlonna were capable of granting such a Miracle, it probably would have been done long ago)
[Sat Oct 07 19:51:30 2006] : (2) GM: And you successfully show him the hand.
[Sat Oct 07 19:51:52 2006] : (4) Kaylin: (Grapple time)
[Sat Oct 07 19:52:40 2006] : (2) GM: Make it's touch attack.
[Sat Oct 07 19:52:57 2006] : (2) GM: Your caster level + your casting ability modifier +12 strength -1 size
[Sat Oct 07 19:53:18 2006] : (4) Kaylin: [1d20+41] -> [14,41] = (55)
[Sat Oct 07 19:53:21 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Meaning really really really big.)
[Sat Oct 07 19:53:32 2006] : (2) GM: And that's a touch. Grapple check?
[Sat Oct 07 19:53:38 2006] : ** (5) Elorin thinks it's touched :P **
[Sat Oct 07 19:53:43 2006] : (1) Kibin: (...I wonder of those hands can make touch attacks for spells...)
[Sat Oct 07 19:53:47 2006] : (4) Kaylin: [1d20+46] -> [11,46] = (57)
[Sat Oct 07 19:53:58 2006] : (2) GM: [1d20+35] -> [5,35] = (40)
[Sat Oct 07 19:54:06 2006] : (2) GM: No, they can't.
[Sat Oct 07 19:54:11 2006] : (2) GM: And it's grappled.
[Sat Oct 07 19:54:15 2006] : (2) GM: Kibin?
[Sat Oct 07 19:54:18 2006] : (4) Kaylin: (pity, that...)
[Sat Oct 07 19:54:27 2006] : (4) Kaylin: Damage from grapple: [2d6+12] -> [6,6,12] = (24)
[Sat Oct 07 19:54:31 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < lol this should be easier, now. >
[Sat Oct 07 19:54:33 2006] : (1) Kibin: (*imagines a killer combo with two meteor swarms, a greater rod of quicken metamagic, and a good touch attack. Hmmm....*)
[Sat Oct 07 19:55:00 2006] : (3) Me'hive: 
[Sat Oct 07 19:55:16 2006] : ** (1) Kibin starts hovering, drifts 5 feet towards the side, and breathes a paralyzing blast of cold at the pit fiend hoping to paralyze it. Hey, it worked against a few of those other demons... **
[Sat Oct 07 19:55:48 2006] : (2) GM: Fun thing - spells dissapate if you cast another before using it. Only one at a time.
[Sat Oct 07 19:55:51 2006] : (1) Kibin: (And trying not to get any other party members in the blast, of course. Except Jason, he can't be paralyzed.)
[Sat Oct 07 19:56:04 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < what? >
[Sat Oct 07 19:56:06 2006] : (2) GM: [1d20+23] -> [15,23] = (38)
[Sat Oct 07 19:56:16 2006] : (1) Kibin: (...dang.)
[Sat Oct 07 19:56:32 2006] : (2) GM: And it keeps struggling against the crushing fist of Kaylin.
[Sat Oct 07 19:56:36 2006] : (5) Elorin: (no stacking multiple touch spells on one touch)
[Sat Oct 07 19:56:49 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < oh ,you gotta be kidding me... >

[Sat Oct 07 19:58:51 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < and if the multiple touch attack thing is legal, then it's plus an addition 1d6+18 for each. >
[Sat Oct 07 19:58:57 2006] : (5) Elorin: (how, exactly, is the AC 10 thing achieved? I know about Brilliant Energy, but where's the rest of it?)
[Sat Oct 07 19:59:05 2006] : (2) GM: It's in the SRD - Magic overview: "Touch Spells and Holding the Charge: In most cases, if you don�t discharge a touch spell on the round you cast it, you can hold the charge (postpone the discharge of the spell) indefinitely. You can make touch attacks round after round. If you cast another spell, the touch spell dissipates."
[Sat Oct 07 19:59:13 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < I'm flanking my target on a touch attack... >
[Sat Oct 07 19:59:34 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Pit fiends have a touch AC of 17.)
[Sat Oct 07 19:59:36 2006] : (2) GM: Fortunately, he doesn't have any nonliving armor or shield bonuses.....
[Sat Oct 07 19:59:56 2006] : (2) GM: Well, he's got one of his spell-likes up; this is an encounter he planned, after all.
[Sat Oct 07 19:59:58 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < touch AC is great and all, but I'm negating all of its bonuses to AC. >
[Sat Oct 07 20:00:11 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Granted, all of that is from dexterity... so you hit a touch AC of 9.)
[Sat Oct 07 20:00:24 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Oh wait, that makes it 13.)
[Sat Oct 07 20:00:26 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < oh, it's large? >
[Sat Oct 07 20:00:34 2006] : (2) GM: And what are you hitting him with to get the 9d6 on every attack?
[Sat Oct 07 20:00:40 2006] : (2) GM: And grappling, yes.
[Sat Oct 07 20:00:45 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < vampiric touch >
[Sat Oct 07 20:00:57 2006] : (1) Kibin: (...hey cool, it fails it's check against my paralyzation attack normally on a 6 or less.)
[Sat Oct 07 20:01:42 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Um, if it's an instant continous magic item that casts it's effect once every round, then how come you have it on four attacks and not just one?)
[Sat Oct 07 20:01:48 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < so a vampiric Harm wouldn't work? >
[Sat Oct 07 20:02:06 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < and you need to ask me what items do what... >
[Sat Oct 07 20:02:13 2006] : ** (5) Elorin thinks you and the DM are going to have a long talk about custom magic items later **
[Sat Oct 07 20:02:21 2006] : (1) Kibin: (And why do you have the temporary HP stack with itself? Since it's the same spell effect, the temporary HP doesn't stack with itself, it overlaps.)
[Sat Oct 07 20:02:28 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < vampiric touch is something that has a higher duration than just instantaneous. >
[Sat Oct 07 20:02:40 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Which is why it doesn't stack.)
[Sat Oct 07 20:02:56 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < since when does temporary HP not stack? >
[Sat Oct 07 20:03:15 2006] : (5) Elorin: (the non-instantaneous duration applies only to the temp hp)
[Sat Oct 07 20:03:22 2006] : (1) Kibin: (I think. It's because if it's an ongoing effect, it will not stack with itself.)
[Sat Oct 07 20:03:36 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < again, show me where it says that... >
[Sat Oct 07 20:03:44 2006] : (2) GM: Pretty much, yeah. There's reasons why such things shouldn't exist. Would you like to see a dark mirror with a few of those items? Or just the nifty added onto a weapon..... that can only be used by someone CE....
[Sat Oct 07 20:03:56 2006] : (1) Kibin: ("http://www.d20srd.org/srd/magicOverview/castingSpells.htm#combiningMagicalEffects")
[Sat Oct 07 20:04:19 2006] : (1) Kibin: (Would you like a sorcerer with nothing better to do cast a few dozen false life spells? :D)
[Sat Oct 07 20:04:21 2006] : (2) GM: But I'll let it run for the first hit, anyway - just because you could make a Quickened Scroll, theoretically, assuming you have Qucken.
[Sat Oct 07 20:04:39 2006] : (2) GM: So you deal 42 damage, and get 42 temporary HP.
[Sat Oct 07 20:04:59 2006] : (1) Kibin: (*poofs, gotta go. GM has latest sheet, I think.)
[Sat Oct 07 20:05:03 2006] : (2) GM: And it's Elorin's turn again.
[Sat Oct 07 20:05:07 2006] : (4) Kaylin: (bye bye)
[Sat Oct 07 20:05:16 2006] : (5) Elorin: Elorin casts Mass Heal ( level 9, "As heal, but with several subjects" )
[Sat Oct 07 20:05:18 2006] : (5) Elorin: Elorin casts Level 9 Spell ( level 9, "Spell slot tracking device" )
[Sat Oct 07 20:05:24 2006] : (2) GM: Beasty is going to poof next round anyway - fight not going as expeced.
[Sat Oct 07 20:05:26 2006] : (5) Elorin: (everybody but the Pit Fiend)

[Sat Oct 07 20:06:14 2006] : (5) Elorin: (did Jason just possess him?)
[Sat Oct 07 20:06:17 2006] : (5) Elorin: (:D)
[Sat Oct 07 20:06:26 2006] : (2) GM: And the Pit Fiend concentrates.... [1d20+29] -> [11,29] = (40)
[Sat Oct 07 20:06:32 2006] : (2) GM: And vanishes.
[Sat Oct 07 20:06:41 2006] : (5) Elorin: (aww)

[Sat Oct 07 20:07:21 2006] : (5) Elorin: (wis check to remember it's a bad idea to include him?)
[Sat Oct 07 20:07:33 2006] : (2) GM: nah, he'll be back in [2d4] -> [3,1] = (4) days.

[Sat Oct 07 20:10:44 2006] : (2) GM: As it's routinely inactive for two weeks at a time, good idea to bookmark the thread.
[Sat Oct 07 20:10:54 2006] : (4) Kaylin: Hmm...
[Sat Oct 07 20:11:11 2006] : (4) Kaylin: (I thought temp hp stacked...)
[Sat Oct 07 20:11:15 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < they let me stack touch attac kspells because of the types of spells they were. >
[Sat Oct 07 20:11:19 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < exactly. >
[Sat Oct 07 20:11:21 2006] : (2) GM: In the specific case of multiple Vampiric Touches, there's a pretty clear "Same Effect More than Once in Different Strengths: In cases when two or more identical spells are operating in the same area or on the same target, but at different strengths, only the best one applies." in the SRD, Magic Overview, Casting Spells, Combining Magical Effects.
[Sat Oct 07 20:12:03 2006] : (4) Kaylin: Anyways, see you guys on the forums

[Sat Oct 07 20:12:46 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < by multiple strengths ,I was always told that that was more along the lines of like attributes, saving throughs, attack/damage bonuses, etc. >
[Sat Oct 07 20:13:18 2006] : (2) GM: From the same spell, cast more than once, with different rolls. How is are you not trying to stack it with itself at different strengths?
[Sat Oct 07 20:13:22 2006] : (3) Me'hive: < and temp HP acted like healing...
[Sat Oct 07 20:13:30 2006] : (3) Me'hive: it's not cast mroe than once, though.
[Sat Oct 07 20:13:41 2006] : (3) Me'hive: it's only cast once.
[Sat Oct 07 20:13:43 2006] : (3) Me'hive: ever
[Sat Oct 07 20:13:55 2006] : (3) Me'hive: lasts about 1 mnute per level
[Sat Oct 07 20:14:01 2006] : (3) Me'hive: so 18 minutes for me.
[Sat Oct 07 20:14:20 2006] : (3) Me'hive: and again, I was always told that temp HP stacked, so...
[Sat Oct 07 20:15:11 2006] : (5) Elorin: temp hp from multiple different sources may stack, but not from repeated castings of the same spell
[Sat Oct 07 20:15:30 2006] : (2) GM: Vampiric Touch
[Sat Oct 07 20:15:32 2006] : (2) GM: Necromancy
[Sat Oct 07 20:15:34 2006] : (2) GM: Level: Sor/Wiz 3 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Touch Target: Living creature touched Duration: Instantaneous/1 hour; see text Saving Throw: NoneSpell Resistance: Yes
[Sat Oct 07 20:15:36 2006] : (2) GM: You must succeed on a melee touch attack. Your touch deals 1d6 points of damage per two caster levels (maximum 10d6). You gain temporary hit points equal to the damage you deal. However, you can�t gain more than the subject�s current hit points +10, which is enough to kill the subject. The temporary hit points disappear 1 hour later.
[Sat Oct 07 20:15:38 2006] : (2) GM: Where are you getting the duration from?
[Sat Oct 07 20:15:54 2006] : (2) GM: That's a copy/paste from the SRD, incidentally.
[Sat Oct 07 20:16:32 2006] : (2) GM: Touch spells discharge when you use them.
[Sat Oct 07 20:16:57 2006] : (3) Me'hive: alright, I must've misread that, then.
[Sat Oct 07 20:17:15 2006] : (3) Me'hive: either that or i was looking at produce flame and getting them mixed up.
[Sat Oct 07 20:17:39 2006] : (3) Me'hive: yeah, 1 minute/level for produce flame, not vampiric touch.
[Sat Oct 07 20:19:03 2006] : (2) GM: That could be. But even with Produce Flame, each attack you make with it reduces the duration by a minute - so sure, you can get a full attack in... but it's just the d6 of fire damage for each attack (and resistance applies seperately to each attack - so 5 points of fire reisistance makes you almost immune, 12 points totally immune) - but at a caster level of 20, extended, you have a grand total of 40 attacks if you use them all in the space of 1 minute (which is possible).
[Sat Oct 07 20:19:26 2006] : (2) GM: But it's just a d6, and spread out, so it won't normally matter.
[Sat Oct 07 20:20:10 2006] : (3) Me'hive: w/e, I'm going back to shadowrun...
[Sat Oct 07 20:20:14 2006] : (3) Me'hive: Leaves the realm of the living...
