(2) Katsuro: (Hello)
(1) GM: Morning
(3) Kibin (enter): 09:42
(3) Kibin: Hello.
(1) GM: Morning.
(3) Kibin: Afternoon technically for me.
(2) Katsuro: Morning for me.
(3) Kibin: http://www.ctrlaltdel-online.com/comic.php
(3) Kibin: Hehe.
(4) Kaylin (enter): 09:46
(3) Kibin: Plumbers of death! :D
(1) GM: Morning.
(4) Kaylin: good morning
(3) Kibin: http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/dnd/20061020a
(2) Katsuro: Hello
(3) Kibin: Can I buy a giant mechanical machine of doom now? :)
(1) GM: Well, there's still the one that Eldon had been piloting for a while, waiting patiently in Ysgard.
(3) Kibin: Eh, it's probally been used in battle by now. Heh.
(3) Kibin: Dead Eldon + him in Ysgard + mech in Ysgard = fun on eternal battlefields.
(1) GM: Except, of course, that basically nobody knows how to repair it.... and the True Ressurection effect doesn't exactly apply to things that were never alive in the first place....
(1) GM: But you've gota point.
(3) Kibin: I said used in battle, not that it's still surviving.
** (3) Kibin wonders where Darnell is now that the war with the gnomes have stopped... **
(1) GM: Darrel, you mean? Oh, I'm sure he retired with some compatable planetar somewhere along the line..... or found another worthy cause.
(3) Kibin: Okay then...
(3) Kibin: Says here that mechs can be driven with the tumble skill...
(1) GM: Just because you can move quickly does not mean that you can decipher a quickly changing dynamic menu designed for quick combat use for those very familiar with it.
(2) Katsuro: (I tend to forget his name myself.)
(1) GM: (Hmm... maybe we should start calling him "Darren".... or was that "derwood"....?)
(2) Katsuro: (Ran->Can->1.5cm...)
(4) Kaylin: if I remember correctly it was 'Derrel''...
(2) Katsuro: (That DerGuy!)
(2) Katsuro: (Pretty sure it was Derrel.)
(3) Kibin: How about we call him Dan.
(2) Katsuro: (Don't have his character sheet anymore, though.)
(3) Kibin: Moot point then. :P
** (3) Kibin has all of his sheets on his computer lost to time too. Stupid corruption. **
(1) GM: (Oh, it was Derrel; I've still got an old copy of the node; was making a Bewitched refference)
(2) Katsuro: Funny posters
(3) Kibin: They misspelled where.
(3) Kibin: Lol, level 20.
(4) Kaylin: hmm, 2.5 k XP from levelling
(1) GM: That would put you at what, 19th?
(4) Kaylin: YYeah
(3) Kibin: http://img503.imageshack.us/img503/4614/happy2wk.jpg
** (3) Kibin prods Kaylin with that one. x.x **
(4) Kaylin: Hey, now I've been not hitting you guys for quite some time now! :)
(1) GM: (Mastery of Shaping is good for that)
(3) Kibin: Yes...
(4) Kaylin: seems a little excessive that Mastery of Shaping doesn't have any limit on how many holes in the area you can make, but oh welll...
(2) Katsuro: (Maybe they decided D&D already had enough fiddly bits to think about.)
(1) GM: In most circumstances, it's a "miss allies and the sacrifice for the BBED while hitting the BBEG"
(3) Kibin: BBED?
(2) Katsuro: (...In the dark, gothic world of the future, proper english has been overrun by leet-speak...)
(1) GM: Big Bad Evil Demon/Devil
(4) Kaylin: Katsuro: scary *shiver*
(2) Katsuro: (Warhammer40k as an MMORPG...)
** (4) Kaylin wanders off to grab a cup of tea, back in about 5 minutes **
(2) Katsuro: (When I was growing up, every second word was 'like')
(1) GM: What was every second word like? You didn't finish your sentence....
(3) Kibin: http://www.dreadgazebo.com/images/repression.jpg
(3) Kibin: Monty python makes everything better. :D
(2) Katsuro: (Oh, no. Not like everything. Just the word like, twisted, distorted and scattered everywhere.)
(2) Katsuro: * anything
(4) Kaylin: back
(1) GM: So, to wait for the archer or not?
(2) Katsuro: (The other archer?)
(3) Kibin: I should really go get something to eat.
(4) Kaylin: It's alredy 20 past...
(1) GM: Elorin, specifically.
(4) Kaylin: I suggest waiting until Kibin returns with food
(5) Vallarn (enter): 10:16
(1) GM: Morning.
(5) Vallarn: Disconnecting from server...
(5) Vallarn (exit): 10:16
(3) Kibin: I don't want to get up from the chair and fix something though. :P
** (3) Kibin goes fix TV dinner. **
(2) Katsuro: (Kibins' TV is hungry!)
(2) Katsuro: (Film at 11!)
(3) Kibin: http://www.crimsonvulpine.com/images/poster-ninja.jpg
(3) Kibin: That looks AWESOME.
(1) GM: Well, a little demonic posession..... demons get hungry... oh, wait - they're outsiders, no need to eat....
(1) GM: Well, a Native demon..... hmm....
** (3) Kibin gets a pack of tuna instead. **
(3) Kibin: Ready to start whenever.
(1) GM: Well, 20 after, so....
Moving to room 'D and D'..

(4) Kaylin (enter): 10:25
(3) Kibin (enter): 10:25
(1) GM: And we're missing Katsuro.
(3) Kibin: (Yup.)
(2) Katsuro (enter): 10:27
(3) Kibin: (17,000 XP till level 21...)
(2) Katsuro: (Gotta be more than that.)
(4) Kaylin: (I presume the campaign is going to continue into epic? :)
(3) Kibin: (*volunteers any further roleplaying XP to be distributed to the rest of the party.*)
(2) Katsuro: (Unless you're already level 20)
(1) GM: When we last left our heros, it was night, and the inn had just been blasted rather thourghally. And the blaster got away.
(2) Katsuro: (That happened after I fell asleep, right?)
(2) Katsuro: (Or am I just not remembering that?)
(3) Kibin: (And the artificer...?)
(1) GM: Pretty much. Hasn't returned. For now, let's just say he got a little too close to the demon, and it carried him off.
(1) GM: (Despite the fact that they can't actually do that...)
(3) Kibin: (Quantum tunnelling, let's say.)
(2) Katsuro: (Quantum badgers!)
(1) GM: (Mushroom!)
(2) Katsuro: (Those can help you see quantum badgers...)
(1) GM: (Depends on which ones.... and they have nasty side effects)
(4) Kaylin: (Quantum badgers sure are tough to see without proper aids)
(3) Kibin: (O.o)
(1) GM: Anyway... you notice that the inn has caught fire. And you're still on the second floor.
(2) Katsuro: (Is there a balcony?)
(1) GM: There's no outside wall at the moment......
(2) Katsuro: (Is there a fire below the hole?)
** (3) Kibin flies down over the fire and out of the inn. And then flies around to see if the demon teleported to somewhere in the area. **
(1) GM: Spot check? Oh, and from what height?
(1) GM: The wall was ripped off entire; there's no hole in the floor yet.....
(1) GM: Oh, and everyone except Kibin - [1d6] -> [2] = (2) fire damage.
(2) Katsuro: (Yeah, what I mean is can I hang onto the floor and drop down without landing in a fire.)
(4) Kaylin: (Any chance on extinguishing the fire or is it too big?)
(1) GM: (You could jump....)
(1) GM: You only need to make about five feet or so, horizontal.
(1) GM: Depends on what you're using.
(4) Kaylin: Kaylin casts Freezing Sphere ( level 6, "A frigid globe of cold energy deals 1d6/level (15d6 max)." )
(4) Kaylin: (Center of the room detonation point, Mastery of Shaping to eliminate friendly fire)
(2) Katsuro: Jump Skill Check: [1d20+7] -> [14,7] = (21)
(1) GM: You put out the fire in a ten-foot radius, granting you a small amount of breathing room. Onfortunatley, the fire was caused by effects with 20 foot radii....
(2) Katsuro: (I watch Kibin to see if he spots anything.)
** (3) Kibin flies at a safe distance from the fire, seeing how much of the fire he can put out with his freezing breath weapon. **
(1) GM: And Katsuro makes it to the ground safely.
(1) GM: Kaylin - you're standing alone in a burning building. What do you do?
(1) GM: You're in a chilly spot of it.
** (4) Kaylin tries... **
** (4) Kaylin jumps out of the burning building **
(1) GM: Jump check?
(4) Kaylin: Jump Skill Check: [1d20-1] -> [1,-1] = (0)
(1) GM: Kaylin trips over her robes and lands face-first on the ground in front of her.
(2) Katsuro: (Ouch)
(1) GM: [1d100] -> [57] = (57)
(1) GM: The building collapses. Kaylin, reflex save.
(2) Katsuro: (Shouldn't someone be yelling 'Fire!'?)
(2) Katsuro: "Fire!"
(3) Kibin: (I don't suppose Kaylin is anorexic and weighs under 50 pounds?)
(4) Kaylin: (nope)
(2) Katsuro: (That wouldn't be anorexic. That would be dead.)
(4) Kaylin: Reflex save: [1d20+13] -> [17,13] = (30)
(4) Kaylin: (That was quick collapse :/)
(1) GM: Well lets see... it lasted a few rounds of combat after the wall was ripped off, and took quite a few blasts from area affect fire damage, and was then burning for two rounds.... it should have collapsed a while back.
** (3) Kibin swoops in to attempt to drag Kaylin out from the collapsing building quickly... **
(1) GM: And kaylin, take [8d6/2] -> 11.0 damage from the collapse.
(1) GM: As the wood and roof hit you on your back.
(4) Kaylin: Ow... hey, are there people still inside?
(1) GM: And Kaylin - you're pinned under the rubble.
(1) GM: Kaylin is, unfortunately, not immediately accessable.
** (2) Katsuro starts moving rubble to get people out. **
** (3) Kibin then goes push rubble off of Kaylin, and other people as nessecary. **
(2) Katsuro: (Using Power Surge for any big pieces.)
** (4) Kaylin activates her Shapechange spell-like ability and shapeshifts into a Wraith **
(1) GM: Concentration check?
(4) Kaylin: Concentration Skill Check: [1d20+22] -> [2,22] = (24)
(2) Katsuro: (Anybody coming after I called 'Fire!"?)
(1) GM: And Kaylin gets out.
(4) Kaylin: (once on top, back into Elfen form)
(1) GM: After a few moments, a bunch of people start piling out of the other buildings, and fetching buckets.
(1) GM: A few guys come out with small waterskins, say something, and then brace themselves as powerful jets of water spray from the waterskins onto the fire.
(1) GM: Those with buckets systemically wet down the surrounding buildings.
(1) GM: After a while, the inn is a smoldering, burned-out wreck, but the rest of the town just smells of smoke.
(3) Kibin: (http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a330/Schlockmerc/nii.jpg)
(3) Kibin: (Lol...)
(2) Katsuro: (Do we get anyone out?)
(1) GM: You find that it seems everyone manage to get out in time - most had started running when the wall was ripped off.
(4) Kaylin: (Did Elorin get out?)
(3) Kibin: (Hmmm. Wings. Probally. :P)
(1) GM: Yes, he got out. He's basically fireproof, too, so....
(3) Kibin: (http://i4.tinypic.com/10f9chh.jpg Dude, I want to play an evil cleric now. O.o)
** (4) Kaylin starts looking around for the innkeeper **
(1) GM: The inkeeper looks like he's in shock. He's covered in smoke, and holing a (now empty) bucket.
(2) Katsuro: (Why not put it in a link?)
(3) Kibin: (Um. Easier to copy/paste.)
(1) GM: Inkeeper: Well... at least everyone's out....
(1) GM: Easier than Picture link?
(4) Kaylin: I'm so sorry... it was probably our fault the inn was attacked by a devil...
** (3) Kibin stays nice and quiet in the back of the group. **
(2) Katsuro: ({a href}Name{/z})
(4) Kaylin: Can we try to compensate you for the damage?
(2) Katsuro: (* {/a} )
(1) GM: Inkeeper: Well... I've got fire insurance. Can't be without it, what in this day and age.
(1) GM: Inkeeper: Also war insurance and a few others. Might be able to get double what with it being a demonic-fire.....
(1) GM: Inkeeper: Hmm.....
(1) GM: Inkeeper: Will need to get the village priest to go over it with a fine-tooth comb, though, just so customers can feel safe again.
** (4) Kaylin continues to look guilty, and gives the innkeeper 45 platinum pieces out of her bag... her money supplies are looking a bit scanty now, but at least she's morally happier. **
(4) Kaylin: Good luck with that. Once again, I'm sorry for the trouble.
(1) GM: Inkeeper: Thanks. Not that there's an inn for me to stay in, what with mine being the only one in town. We'll rebuild. Did a few years ago.
(1) GM: Inkeeper: I've got some friends that should be willing to put me up for a while.
(4) Kaylin: All right. Take care, then.
** (4) Kaylin walks back to the group **
(1) GM: Inkeeper: You too. Especially since you seemed to be the target....
(1) GM: So, it's about midnight.
** (3) Kibin goes fly up to rest on a cloud. Inside the cloud this time, so noone can see him easily. **
(2) Katsuro: (Do we still have the wagon and carrage?)
(3) Kibin: (Never realized how low level he must be...)
(1) GM: Yeah. Wooden constructs don't like fire.
(1) GM: All the stuff is fine.
** (2) Katsuro stretches out in the carraige and goes back to sleep. **
(4) Kaylin: Probably won't see the devil again for a while...
(1) GM: The rest of the evening passes uneventfully.
** (4) Kaylin sits cross-legged in a corner of the wagon and meditates **
(1) GM: Morning, rather....
(1) GM: The next day, what does everyone do?
(2) Katsuro: (Well, presumably toiletries come in somewhere...)
** (3) Kibin flies down to the group, asking, "Didn't we leave a rather large amount of silver back at those stones?" **
** (4) Kaylin returns to consciousness and prepares spells for an hour, true to the morning ritual. **
(1) GM: (Do remember that you can't refresh the spell slots you expended last night, as they were cast within the last eight hours.....)
(4) Kaylin: (I can't meditate for 8 hours and hope nobody bugs me?)
(1) GM: I suppose you could.
(1) GM: It would only put your morning preparations finishing at about nine oclock.
(4) Kaylin: (not too bad)
(1) GM: Okay, so at nine....
(3) Kibin: (Chibi warhammer...
(2) Katsuro: "Yes, but I think it would cout as the proporty of whoevers' land it's on."
(3) Kibin: Ah.
(3) Kibin: Knowledge: Local Skill Check: [1d20+5] -> [15,5] = (20)
(3) Kibin: (Curious as to if there's any local laws that govern that.)
(3) Kibin: (....whoa. What would happen if someone put a giant explosive ruin into the sky for an entire country to read? O.o)
whispering to Kibin, It's unlikely anyone will notice, seeing as how basically nobody knew it was there..... curiously, it's technically unclaimed land, as the mayors officially each sold it to the other, and neither can claim it for that reason.
(2) Katsuro: (If they could make an explosive rune that big, they wouldn't need it. Just wish up a Tarresque.)
(1) GM: (Everyone would be out of the spells fixed range)
(3) Kibin: Well legally, it's unclaimed land, since the mayors officially sold it to each other and thus neither can claim it...
(3) Kibin: (Anyone next to the runes (close enough to read them) takes the full damage with no saving throw)
(3) Kibin: (Thus none of them would get a save, and there would be a secondary effect for people within 10 feet of the runes...)
(2) Katsuro: "Wouldn't that be fifty-fity ownership?"
(4) Kaylin: Well... the silver isn't being used, but are you sure it wouldn't be more trouble than it's worth to pull it out of those lines?
(2) Katsuro: (Talking quietly.)
(4) Kaylin: Wait. I'm talking to a dragon. Silly question.
(3) Kibin: No, because destroying that stone uprooted all the silver into a ball...
(1) GM: (If you want to be strict RAW, sure; in practice, though, it's rediculous to say that would work)
(3) Kibin: (Heh. Well, I just came up with a better weapon than the book filled with explosive runes and a failed dispel check...)
(1) GM: (sort of like technically, second edition fumbles could result in the arrow you just fired hitting an ally in the back who's currenly on a different plane)
(3) Kibin: (Whoa. O.o)
(1) GM: (Yeah, there are limits to my RAW tolerance)
(4) Kaylin: If you must take the silver, at least split it equally three ways between us and the two towns.
(3) Kibin: Meh, fine.
(1) GM: So, what's everyone doing?
(2) Katsuro: (Breakfast.)
(1) GM: Oh, yes - Elorin does prepare his daily Feast for everyone.
** (3) Kibin joins in the breakfast. **
** (4) Kaylin munches **
(1) GM: And Elorin is up to his usual semi-divine cooking skills.
(1) GM: And all of you feel ready to face whatever may come your way, after.
(2) Katsuro: (BRB)
(1) GM: So, heading off to the plain to collect the silver ball, or what?
(3) Kibin: (*needs support in collecting the silver ball first.*)
(4) Kaylin: (If Kibin really wants to and agrees to split it, then I'll help)
(3) Kibin: (Already said I agreed to split it.)
(4) Kaylin: (then I'll help)
(1) GM: So off to the big ball of silver you go.
(1) GM: What travel method do you prefer?
(3) Kibin: (Monty Python still makes everything better.)
** (3) Kibin flies over to the silver ball ahead of time to start cutting it into small cubic foot sized pieces with his adamantine sword. **
(4) Kaylin: (how long would it take to get there via animated carriage?)
(1) GM: It takes a long time. Unfortunately, it's a big grouping of tangled silver bars, so they don't come out anything like even.
(1) GM: About a day. They move a little faster than regular horse-drawn carriages.
(1) GM: And the bars are quite dirty, what with having been buried for a time.
(3) Kibin: (Well, pieces that can be more easily transported anyway at least.)
(1) GM: Putting them anywhere?
(3) Kibin: (Fitting as much as I can in the portable hole.)
(1) GM: You manage to fit it all into the portable hole, after cutting them up, although now "hole" is a misnomer. You can just barely close it.
(1) GM: You wouldn't want to stand on top of it, though, what with all the sharp pointy bits.
** (3) Kibin folds it back up and then flies over to the party if they're still on route to tell them that he's done. :P **
(1) GM: Kibin finishes up about the time the rest of the party arrives in the silent cloud/wagon
(3) Kibin: Well, done now...
(1) GM: And it's evening.
(4) Kaylin: Something tells me we're going to run into that devil tonight... they just don't want to leave us alone.
(3) Kibin: Gate to a safer plane to sleep at?
(2) Katsuro: (I'll probably be cutting out randomly - Dad's doing woodwork and might need help.)
(4) Kaylin: (Would being on a different plane make us safer from being scryed on?)
(3) Kibin: (No. But it would interfere with teleportation, for one.)
(1) GM: From scrying, being on a different plane confers a +4 Will save bonus. And makes teleportation tricky.
(4) Kaylin: (Oh, I thought they could traverse the planes...)
(3) Kibin: (That, and we get +5 on will saves.)
(1) GM: Once a year, they can do basically anything they want.
(3) Kibin: (Also, sleeping on a good aligned plane would give us the advantage.)
(1) GM: (Ah, yep - +5, not +4)
(3) Kibin: (Not to mention the perks if we sleep on, say, the celestial plane. : )
(4) Kaylin: Well... sure, another plane would be a good place to rest.
(4) Kaylin: Any one in particular?
(2) Katsuro: (Don't teleportation difficulties apply to us, too?)
(1) GM: (Between Plane Shift and Gate?)
(3) Kibin: (You mean while we have gate, a handy 9th level spell that lets you walk through a doorway to ANY POSITION on ANY PLANE?)
(4) Kaylin: (Not with Gate, as far as I can tell)
(2) Katsuro: (I dunno, I'm not playing a wizard, not looking at spells constantly.)
(3) Kibin: Um... something where demons would have a hard time getting to or surviving there? Like a place with a lot of celestials?)
(4) Kaylin: Spellcraft Skill Check: [1d20+37] -> [14,37] = (51)
(4) Kaylin: (spellcraft check to see if there's any potential problems with using a Gate)
(1) GM: (Gate's a nifty - commonly considered one of the omost overpowered spells in existence)
whispering to Kaylin, Should be fine.
(1) GM: (Other than Wish, of course)
(4) Kaylin: (the 5000 XP on Wish is pretty nasty though)
(1) GM: (Yeah - but take a look at some of the things available on the safe list...)
(3) Kibin: (Teleport your enemy to the negative plane... :D)
(3) Kibin: (If he's not a spellcaster, he's dead.)
(1) GM: (Has a slight habit of coming back, though.... and there are other ways to survive, at least for a time)
(4) Kaylin: Well, what about Ysgard?
(3) Kibin: A plane of eternal battle... seems good enough.
(3) Kibin: And if any of us die, we just wake up the next day!
(4) Kaylin: Sounds ideal, then.
(4) Kaylin: Don't disturb me for a while, please.
(2) Katsuro: (BRB)
** (4) Kaylin sits down and prepares a Gate with her remaining 9th level slot for today **
(3) Kibin: Oookay then.
** (3) Kibin tries to estimate how much silver was in that ball, and how much it would be worth... **
(3) Kibin: Appraise Skill Check: [1d20+6] -> [20,6] = (26)
(1) GM: And after fifteen minutes, and a casting, and a little walking through the gate, you all find yourselves..... at a location of Kaylin's choosing.
(4) Kaylin: (outside the door of the building we've been at before)
(4) Kaylin: (oh, can the wagon and carriage pop along too?)
(1) GM: It lasts a while.
(1) GM: And it's big enough. I think.
(4) Kaylin: (20-foot diameter, should be)
** (4) Kaylin walks inside to say hi, don't mind the wagon and carriage outside the door, it's just us... **
(3) Kibin: (How long does it take for the true ressurection effect?)
(1) GM: It happens "the next morning" for those who died in the propper battle fields.....
(3) Kibin: (Ah. Hmmmm.)
whispering to Kibin, You're looking at about a million in silver.
(1) GM: As it's late in the evening, there's a feast in progress.
** (3) Kibin joins in on the feast. When in rome... **
(1) GM: Little kids carry platters of meat, jugs of mead, and lots of other things.
(1) GM: They welcome you to the feast.
** (2) Katsuro looks around curiously. **
(1) GM: The meat appears to be pork. Lots of it. Although, from the size of the pices, they come from bigger pigs than you've ever seen.
(4) Kaylin: Oh, Katsuro, you haven't been here before, have you?
(1) GM: The platters are wooden, and everyone appears to use their own knives. No forks are in evidence.
(2) Katsuro: "No...And I didn't expect to be alive, either."
(4) Kaylin: Alive? I'm not sure what you mean...
(3) Kibin: I think he means not yet in his afterlife...
(4) Kaylin: Oh, all right. Well, Katsuro, join in! Lots of food...
** (3) Kibin eats lots and lots of tasty pork. **
** (2) Katsuro shrugs and eats, with the occasional odd look around. **
(1) GM: And after several hours of riotous living, everyone goes off to bed... posting a watch?
(2) Katsuro: (We should probably sleep in the battle fields and keep a watch.)
(1) GM: The very, very, large building appears to have been carved from a single tree.....
(2) Katsuro: ((1) GM: It happens "the next morning" for those who died in the propper battle fields.....
)
** (3) Kibin sets up lots of pointy obstacles for anyone who unexpectedly teleports in here. Hehe. **
(3) Kibin: (Actually, I think it's if you die anywhere in the plane.)
(3) Kibin: (It's a planar property I believe.)
(3) Kibin (whispering): Did you mean a million gold pieces, or silver pieces?
whispering to Kibin, Gold value in silver.
(4) Kaylin: Why don't we sleep in the carriage, and I'll set an alarm on the area?
(3) Kibin (whispering): So 1,000,000 GP?
(4) Kaylin: Does anyone want to keep watch?
whispering to Kibin, So it's worth about a million gold pieces, due to the weight in silver
(3) Kibin (whispering): Ah, thank you for clearing that up.
(3) Kibin: I'll go ahead and keep watch...
** (3) Kibin puts away the pointy objects if we're just going to sleep in the carriage/wagon. **
(4) Kaylin: Kaylin casts Alarm ( level 1, "A mental or sonic alarm triggers upon an object being touched." )
(1) GM: "Additionally, those slain in the never-ending conflicts on Ysgard's fields of battle rise each morning as if a true ressurection were cast on them"
(1) GM: It's a property of the plain, but it's limted to the battle fields.
(4) Kaylin: (Alarm for where we're sleeping, mental alarm)
(3) Kibin: (Ah. So we're sleeping outside then?)
(4) Kaylin: (Want to sleep inside a flammable tree?)
(1) GM: Okay. That night... Will saves, everyone. Not a scrying effect.
(2) Katsuro: (Want to sleep where we will always survive?)
(2) Katsuro: Will save: [1d20+8] -> [6,8] = (14)
(3) Kibin: Will save: [1d20+18] -> [7,18] = (25)
(4) Kaylin: Will save: [1d20+21] -> [11,21] = (32)
(1) GM: Will save: [1d20+28] -> [16,28] = (44)
(1) GM: Kaylin - the next morning, you wake up alone, accompanied only by Elorin.
(4) Kaylin: Hmm. This isn't good...
(1) GM: Kibin, Katsuro - you wake up by falling ten feet onto rock.
(1) GM: In the middle of the night.
(1) GM: You see a large, familiar Devil standing over you.
(1) GM: Roll for initiative.
(4) Kaylin: (... uhoh)
(1) GM: (go read the "safe" list on Wishes sometime....)
(3) Kibin: Dex check: [1d20+3] -> [17,3] = (20)
(1) GM: [1d20+12] -> [16,12] = (28)
(2) Katsuro: Dex check: [1d20+5] -> [3,5] = (8)
(3) Kibin: (Hmmmm...)
(4) Kaylin: (*whistle* hadn't used a Wish this year, eh?)
(1) GM: So Devil, Kibin, Katsuro.
(1) GM: Oh, and falling damage - [5d6] -> [1,6,3,6,6] = (22) each
(1) GM: Oh, sorry, [1d6] -> [2] = (2)
(3) Kibin: (I was awake on guard, remember?)
(1) GM: Ah, reflex save, then.
(1) GM: To fly.
(3) Kibin: Reflex save: [1d20+24] -> [6,24] = (30)
(1) GM: And you take no damage. Katsuro takes 2, unless he makes a Tumble check.
(1) GM: (And, as you successfully ran him off, he's rather annoyed)
(1) GM: There's a few wolves running around the cavern, but they seem to be staying out of it, for now.
(1) GM: And the beast targets Kibin....
(3) Kibin: (What kind of action is it to take out a portable hole?)
(1) GM: [1d20+26] -> [18,26] = (44), [1d20+26] -> [5,26] = (31), [1d20+26] -> [6,26] = (32), [1d20+26] -> [11,26] = (37)
(1) GM: Full round, at least.
(3) Kibin: (One hit. :P)
(1) GM: And Kibin - touch AC?
(3) Kibin: (Oh, touch AC...)
(3) Kibin: (24? :P)
(1) GM: So four hits, no reflex for you.
(1) GM: [8d6] -> [5,1,4,3,2,1,1,2] = (19) bludgeoning, [24d6] -> [2,5,2,5,4,2,6,1,1,4,4,3,6,1,1,1,1,1,5,2,2,1,6,5] = (71) fire (in four increments)
(2) Katsuro: (No...If this character dies, I'm making a Monk!)
(1) GM: Oh, forgot to add your vulnerability - so that's [71*1.5] -> 106.5
(4) Kaylin: (damn, I'm sorry guys :( should have thought of that)
(1) GM: So Kibin - with your ring of fire resistance, you take a total of [66+19] -> 85 damage from that.
(1) GM: Katsuro - four reflex saves.
(1) GM: The beast is standing ten feet from you.
(2) Katsuro: Reflex save: [1d20+10] -> [13,10] = (23)
(2) Katsuro: Reflex save: [1d20+10] -> [15,10] = (25)
(2) Katsuro: Reflex save: [1d20+10] -> [5,10] = (15)
(2) Katsuro: Reflex save: [1d20+10] -> [2,10] = (12)
(3) Kibin: (Actually... I sold the ring of fire resistance I believe, to make room for that thing that allows me to cast nifty ranged weapon-like spells. :P)
(1) GM: Oh. Well, that would be another 40 damage, then.....
(3) Kibin: (So HP of 70 now.)
(1) GM: And Katsuro - DC 27; sorry, you take all 71 fire damamage.
(1) GM: And he uses his Swift action to lay down another Fireball.
(1) GM: [10d6] -> [6,6,1,3,3,2,4,1,3,5] = (34)
(1) GM: Reflex DC 21.
(3) Kibin: Reflex save: [1d20+24] -> [5,24] = (29)
(1) GM: Evasion!
(1) GM: Katsuro?
(2) Katsuro: Reflex save: [1d20+10] -> [20,10] = (30)
(1) GM: And that would be a success. 17 damage to Katsuro.
(1) GM: Kibin?
(3) Kibin: (Anywhere close to the ceiling, and can I get above the demon and still use a full-round action?)
(1) GM: He's ten feet from you. You're in his threatened area.
(1) GM: He's also about fifteen feet tall. Cavern is about 25 feet tall, he's blocking the only exit.
(1) GM: Oh, and it's completely dark.
(1) GM: Who all has Darkvision?
(3) Kibin: (I'm wondering if I can open the portable hole over his head to get a round or so more of time.)
(1) GM: You can try.
(1) GM: Of course, you store your portable hole in your pouch, and it's a move action that provokes to pull something out of storeage....
(3) Kibin: (x.x)
(1) GM: You need to go about 30 feet to get above him... and you'll be in reach.
(1) GM: And to do so, you'll have to go through several of his threatened squares.
(3) Kibin: (So a move action to go above him, a move action to get out the portable hole?)
(1) GM: Yep. And hope he doesn't have Combat Reflexes.
(3) Kibin: (How big is the cavern?)
(1) GM: 25 feet tall, he stands fifteen, and has a 10 foot reach. He's about ten feet away from you, at the moment, and the cavern itself extends at least fifty feet back. Wolves are wandering around, but they seem to be staying out of it for now.
(1) GM: The place is fairly rough stone, but the floor is easy enough going.
(1) GM: By the way - do you have Darkvision, Katsuro?
** (3) Kibin gets out of the demon's reach, and takes out his portable hole to put in the ceiling so that all the stuff will fall out. **
(2) Katsuro: (No.)
(1) GM: AoO, grapple: [1d20+30] -> [10,30] = (40) touch, Hold: [1d20+35] -> [18,35] = (53)
(3) Kibin: (Ah. There is the problem of that. :P)
(1) GM: Opposed?
(3) Kibin: [1d20+12] -> [15,12] = (27)
(1) GM: That would be a failure. Take [2d8+28] -> [4,8,28] = (40) Constriction damage.
(1) GM: Oh, nah - that's a separate action. Nevermind.
(3) Kibin: (Um, so that was a move to try to get out, so...)
(1) GM: Trying anything with your remaining standard action?
** (3) Kibin then shapeshifts into a wolf, tries to use barking or something to get the other wolves to help, or at least get the demon distracted for a while. **
(1) GM: Not an Escape Artist check, then? Okay.
(1) GM: Katsuro?
(1) GM: You're effectively blind, but you saw enough in the flashes of light from the fireballs to know where the Devil it is.
(3) Kibin: (No, because if he has me GRAPPLED, he can't meteor swarm me. :)
(2) Katsuro: (I try to shoot it.)
(1) GM: (That's 1/day anyway)
(2) Katsuro: Imbued Longbow, composite +5, Holy, Strong Attack Roll: [1d20+26] -> [19,26] = (45) ===> Damage: [1d8+2+5+2d6+7+0] -> [1,2,5,6,4,7,0] = (25)
(2) Katsuro: Imbued Longbow, composite +5, Holy, Strong Attack Roll: [1d20+21] -> [1,21] = (22) ===> Damage: [1d8+2+5+2d6+7+0] -> [8,2,5,5,1,7,0] = (28)
(2) Katsuro: Imbued Longbow, composite +5, Holy, Strong Attack Roll: [1d20+16] -> [19,16] = (35) ===> Damage: [1d8+2+5+2d6+7+0] -> [7,2,5,5,1,7,0] = (27)
(3) Kibin: (Well, I don't know that. x.x)
(1) GM: Let's see... large grappling currently medium, so .... target chances; 1 = Kibin, 2 or 3: goes for Devil; [3d3] -> [3,1,3] = (7); miss chances due to concealment, 50 or less misses: [3d100] -> [63,59,42] = (164)
(1) GM: So Kibin takes the second attack roll, vs. his AC.
(3) Kibin: (Which is natural 20 territory...)
(1) GM: Third misses completely, but the first.... that hits! For 25 damage.
(3) Kibin: (Hmmm. I think.)
(1) GM: He looks mildly annoyed
(1) GM: Oh, and what material arrows?
(2) Katsuro: (+1, Bane (Outsider, Evil), 11,002gp, 5sp)
(2) Katsuro: (Forgot I had those.)
(2) Katsuro: (What damage is Bane?)
(1) GM: Back in a minute
(3) Kibin: (*waits for him to come back while hanging in possible doom...*)
(2) Katsuro: (*Poke*?)
(4) Kaylin: (I'm still connected)
(3) Kibin: (Me too.)
(1) GM: Sorry it took so long. Silly salesman.
(3) Kibin: (Hehe. What did you do to him/her?)
(1) GM: ANyway... bane is +2d6, +2 Enhancement (so +2d6+2 damage, +2 to hit
(1) GM: So... [2d6+2] -> [4,4,2] = (10)
(1) GM: He's still just annoyed.
(1) GM: And it's the devil's own turn.
(1) GM: Oh - Kaylin - Listen check?
(1) GM: The Devil seems to be healing up.
(4) Kaylin: Listen Skill Check: [1d20+7] -> [2,7] = (9)
whispering to Kaylin, You hear Elorin shout in exclaimation that "they're gone"
(1) GM: And the Devil Grins&Grapples....
(1) GM: Grapple Checks: [1d20+35] -> [17,35] = (52), [1d20+30] -> [3,30] = (33), [1d20+25] -> [7,25] = (32), [1d20+20] -> [12,20] = (32)
(1) GM: Opposed?
(3) Kibin: (Um, let me recalculate it...)
(3) Kibin: [1d20+16] -> [11,16] = (27)
(3) Kibin: [1d20+16] -> [19,16] = (35)
(3) Kibin: [1d20+16] -> [2,16] = (18)
(3) Kibin: [1d20+16] -> [18,16] = (34)
(4) Kaylin (whispering): Possibly to use a Greater Scrying to find out where they've gone?
(3) Kibin: (Hey, I won the seconnd and third ones. x.x)
(1) GM: Fail first, beat second, fail third, beat fourth; so two Constricts.....
(3) Kibin: (Wait, fourth, yeah.)
whispering to Kaylin, Yep.
(1) GM: Constrict damage: [2d8+26] -> [4,4,26] = (34), [2d8+26] -> [7,8,26] = (41)
(4) Kaylin (whispering): Given that I know we're fighting some tough opponents, I'd scry on Katsuro as soon as possible
(1) GM: And [34+41] -> 75
(1) GM: Take 75 damage, Kibin.
(3) Kibin: (So much for talking my way out of this. :P)
(3) Kibin: (But still alive, kind of yay!)
(1) GM: And, as you fall unconscious on the third, the Demon releases your now-unconscious body, and strikes at Katsuro.....
(1) GM: [1d20+15] -> [13,15] = (28) for [2d8+13] -> [7,6,13] = (26)
(1) GM: Katsuro - you can't see, so what's your Flat-footed AC?
whispering to Kaylin, So cast.
(4) Kaylin: Kaylin casts Scrying, Greater ( level 7, "Scrying lasts longer, casts quicker, no focus." )
(1) GM: And Katsuro - Will save?
(4) Kaylin (whispering): Sorry, wasn't sure if I should wait for an initiative order or something.
whispering to Kaylin, It's been a few rounds....
(1) GM: Katsuro?
(1) GM: Well, I have a copy of his character sheet....
(1) GM: Anyone else online?
(4) Kaylin: (I am)
(2) Katsuro: (Oop, sorry, got distracted.)
(3) Kibin: (Me.)
(2) Katsuro: Int check: [1d20+0] -> [4,0] = (4)
(1) GM: Flat-footed AC and Will save?
(2) Katsuro: Will save: [1d20+8] -> [5,8] = (13)
(1) GM: And that would be a failure.
(2) Katsuro: (Not sure - AC 29...)
(1) GM: Kaylin - do you have Darkvision active?
(2) Katsuro: (Dex 5, so 24?)
(4) Kaylin: (no, only low-light)
whispering to Kaylin, So you get an image of complete blackness. But the spell worked.
(1) GM: So take 26 damage as a claw strikes you from out of the darkness.
(1) GM: One of the wolves moves up to Kibin's form
(1) GM: Kibin - Stabilization check?
(2) Katsuro: (BRB)
(3) Kibin: [1d10] -> [1] = (1)
(3) Kibin: (Wow.)
(1) GM: Ah, but it's your turn next......
(1) GM: High is good; no stabilize for you. Take 1 point of damage.
(3) Kibin: (What, NOW high is good?!?)
(3) Kibin: (x.x)
(4) Kaylin: (Any chance on hearing a grunt or an 'arrrgh' from Katsuro being slashed?)
(1) GM: (you have four more chances....)
(1) GM: Yes, you do hear the sounds of combat.
(3) Kibin: (The listen DC for a battle is -10.)
(4) Kaylin: Elorin! Katsuro is being attacked! Can Ehlonna help us out here, bring him and Kibin back to us?
(1) GM: Elorin: I can get us there.
(1) GM: (well, unless the wolf decides you're edible....)
(4) Kaylin: (If I was a wolf, I wouldn't be messing around at a pit fiend's feet)
(4) Kaylin: That'll work. They need help
(1) GM: (and strangely, this one doesn't seem worried at all.....)
(4) Kaylin: Although...
(3) Kibin: (Huh? O.o)
(4) Kaylin: I'll do it.
(1) GM: Cast your spell.
(4) Kaylin: Argh, distracted. You'll have more precision.
(4) Kaylin: (Sorry, forgot Plane Shift didn't allow specific location)
Elorin casts Miracle ( level 9, "Requests a deity's intercession" )
Elorin can cast Miracle 98 more times
(1) GM: And you both find your selves in complete and utter blackness, with the sound of battle nearby.
(1) GM: Roll for Initiative.
(4) Kaylin: Dex check: [1d20+2] -> [8,2] = (10)
(1) GM: Dex check: [1d20+6] -> [10,6] = (16)
(3) Kibin: (December 3rd, stabilization check rolled for Kaylin, rolling low was good.)
(1) GM: Was it listed before or after the roll?
(3) Kibin: (Before.)
(1) GM: Default in D20: High is good (with a handful of exceptions).
(1) GM: But Eloroin's here now; won't matter much in a round or two.
(3) Kibin: (Ah. True. :P)
(1) GM: Elorin and Kaylin cast spells to get here, so they're inserted into the next round.... Katsuro? Your turn.
(2) Katsuro: Imbued Longbow, composite +5, Holy, Strong Attack Roll: [1d20+26] -> [17,26] = (43) ===> Damage: [1d8+2+5+2d6+7+0] -> [4,2,5,6,6,7,0] = (30)
(2) Katsuro: Imbued Longbow, composite +5, Holy, Strong Attack Roll: [1d20+21] -> [11,21] = (32) ===> Damage: [1d8+2+5+2d6+7+0] -> [2,2,5,2,6,7,0] = (24)
(2) Katsuro: Imbued Longbow, composite +5, Holy, Strong Attack Roll: [1d20+16] -> [7,16] = (23) ===> Damage: [1d8+2+5+2d6+7+0] -> [1,2,5,2,1,7,0] = (18)
(1) GM: And darkness miss chances: [3d100] -> [76,91,48] = (215)
(3) Kibin: (What, wolves don't help at all? Bah.)
(1) GM: two possible hits; but neither impacts.
(1) GM: And it's the Devil's turn.....
(1) GM: The pet wolf that went up to Kibin attempts a CdG.
(2) Katsuro: (I thought high was good?)
(1) GM: Automatic Critical: [2d6+6] -> [4,3,6] = (13)
(1) GM: No need for the Fort save.....
(4) Kaylin: ( :( )
(3) Kibin: (It has a pet wolf? x.x)
(1) GM: Kaylin - make a Knoweledge(The Planes) check.
(4) Kaylin: Knowledge: The Planes Skill Check: [1d20+21] -> [10,21] = (31)
(2) Katsuro: (Drekulo!)
whispering to Kaylin, You hear the howling of a soul-devouring Bhargest in wolf form
whispering to Kaylin, Difficult to tell from a natural wolf....
(3) Kibin: (*makes mental note to be suspicious of percieved DM helping out.*)
(1) GM: And The Devil's actions.....
(1) GM: Spotting the newcomers, he lets off a Quickened Fireball at them [10d6] -> [1,6,2,3,5,5,6,2,6,1] = (37)
(1) GM: Reflex save, Kaylin?
(1) GM: Reflex save: [1d20+22] -> [6,22] = (28)
(4) Kaylin: Reflex save: [1d20+13] -> [2,13] = (15)
(1) GM: DC 21 - Elorin saves, and thanks to his ring, Evades; Kaylin takes 37 Fire damage.
(1) GM: And then the Demon tries to grab Katsuro.... Touch: [1d20+30] -> [1,30] = (31), Hold: [1d20+35] -> [2,35] = (37)
(1) GM: And he misses.
(1) GM: But that's okay - he's got multiple attacks.
(1) GM: And then the Demon tries to grab Katsuro.... Touch: [1d20+25] -> [10,25] = (35), Hold: [1d20+30] -> [20,30] = (50)
(1) GM: Flat-footed Touch AC?
(1) GM: Katsuro?
(2) Katsuro: (24, I think.)
(2) Katsuro: (I seem to be falling asleep.)
(1) GM: So that's a grab. Opposed Grapple check?
(2) Katsuro: Str check: [1d20+7] -> [6,7] = (13)
(1) GM: And that's a hold.
(1) GM: Oh - BAB applies.
(1) GM: But I doubt you've got the +37 BAB needed to make a difference.....
(1) GM: And the Devil Constricts....
(1) GM: Two more grapple checks: [1d20+25] -> [3,25] = (28), [1d20+20] -> [4,20] = (24)
(1) GM: Opposed checks?
(2) Katsuro: Str check: [1d20+7] -> [10,7] = (17)
(2) Katsuro: Str check: [1d20+7] -> [2,7] = (9)
(1) GM: What's your BAB?
(2) Katsuro: (14)
(1) GM: So that's 31 and 23; you manage to avoid the first chokehold, but the second gets you for [2d8+26] -> [7,6,26] = (39)
(1) GM: And Kibin's Dead, Elorin....
(2) Katsuro: "I'm a frog..."
Elorin casts Light ( level 0, "Object shines like a torch" )
Elorin can cast Light 98 more times
Elorin casts Level 0 Spell ( level 0, "Spell slot tracking device" )
Elorin can cast Level 0 Spell 5 more times
(2) Katsuro: (Katsuro is also Dead.)
(3) Kibin: (*goes play fun flash games.*)
(1) GM: Ah. Elorin lights the place up.
(1) GM: And a wolf goes over to Katsuro's body....
(1) GM: Kaylin?
(2) Katsuro: (Hence Katsuros' last words...)
(4) Kaylin: (Can I see both the devil and the wolf (wolves)?)
(1) GM: Yes. There's quite a few of them. But they seem to be staying away from people that are still active.
(4) Kaylin: Kaylin casts Weird ( level 9, "Kills multiple creatures." )
(4) Kaylin: (Target the devil and as many 'wolves' as possible)
(1) GM: SR Penetration?
(4) Kaylin: (casting defensively if need be)
(4) Kaylin: [1d20+25] -> [6,25] = (31)
(1) GM: That penetrates; saves....
(1) GM: Will (Devil): [1d20+25] -> [9,25] = (34)
(1) GM: DC?
(4) Kaylin: (30)
(4) Kaylin: (no wolves hit by it?)
(1) GM: "wolves" in nat-20 territory..... [10d20] -> [17,1,7,11,4,14,7,14,13,13] = (101)
(4) Kaylin: (that's a lot of wolves...)
(1) GM: And Fort: [10d20] -> [1,16,10,9,5,3,20,15,1,9] = (89)
(1) GM: All but one of the wolves drop dead.
(3) Kibin: (Whoa. O.o)
(1) GM: And it's the Devil's turn again.
** (4) Kaylin shouts as moving away from the devil "Those wolves will eat your soul!" **
(1) GM: Devil: Not mine.......
(1) GM: Devil: They're my friends...... I brought them here just for this, after all.
(1) GM: Devil: Can't have people running me off and living to tell about it, after all... what would all the other Generals think?
** (3) Kibin wishes he could bring down divine bolts on that demon from the afterlife. **
(4) Kaylin: "I promise not to tell."
(1) GM: And the Devil uses a Quickened Fireball again (his last for the day....) [10d6] -> [5,2,4,6,3,4,5,3,3,4] = (39)
(1) GM: And charges Kaylin.
(1) GM: Leading with his tail, curiously.
(1) GM: [1d20+30] -> [18,30] = (48) for [2d8+6] -> [6,8,6] = (20)
(1) GM: AC?
(4) Kaylin: (30)
(1) GM: So that's a hit. Grapple check: [1d20+35] -> [19,35] = (54)
(1) GM: Opposing the grapple?
(4) Kaylin: (no way I'm beating that)
(1) GM: So you're grappled.
(1) GM: And it's Elorin's turn.
Elorin casts Holy Word ( level 7, "Kills, paralyzes, blinds, or deafens nongood subjects." )
Elorin can cast Holy Word 98 more times
Elorin casts Level 7 Spell ( level 7, "Spell slot tracking device" )
Elorin can cast Level 7 Spell 4 more times
(1) GM: SR Penetration: [1d20+20] -> [20,20] = (40)
(1) GM: And the last of the "wolves" dies, while the Devil... [1d20+25] -> [2,25] = (27)
(1) GM: Vanishes from view.
(1) GM: Elorin: You okay?
(4) Kaylin: (So... do I feel devil claws around my body?)
(1) GM: No, the "go away" effect didn't apply to you. And Elorin lit up the room.
(4) Kaylin: (Just curious if it went invisible)
(1) GM: (It was DC 28 for him.....)
(4) Kaylin: Seems like it...
(1) GM: Elorin: So.
(4) Kaylin: What did you do, banish him?
(1) GM: Elorin: Basically. Won't see him for at least 24 hours. Not here, anyway.
(4) Kaylin: He's clever...
** (4) Kaylin spots Kibin and Katsuro, goes over to check their vitality **
(1) GM: Which they are completely lacking.
(1) GM: Fortunately, neither seems to have gotten eaten.
(4) Kaylin: Looks like we managed to kill the bhargests before their souls were eaten.
(1) GM: (If they'd been eaten, there wouldn't be a body....)
(4) Kaylin: Do you have the materials for resurrecting them handy or shall I do that after preparing spells?
(1) GM: Elorin: I can bring them back, but not pleasantly.
(4) Kaylin: Similarly here.
(1) GM: Elorin: All right then.
Elorin casts Raise Dead ( level 5, "Restores life to subject who died as long as one day/level ago" )
Elorin can cast Raise Dead 98 more times

(4) Kaylin: Spellcraft Skill Check: [1d20+37] -> [4,37] = (41)
(4) Kaylin: (Wis check to try to stop him from casting?)
(1) GM: Okay.
(1) GM: Umm... why?
(1) GM: Oh, level loss....
(4) Kaylin: Wis check: [1d20+2] -> [15,2] = (17)
(1) GM: He's only got two 5k diamonds, though.....
(2) Katsuro: (How about 'Hit the GM with a fish' check? :P )
(2) Katsuro: (Katsuro has about 25,000gp.)
(1) GM: Okay, so Elorin doesn't cast.
(1) GM: Elorin: I take it you have a better idea?
(4) Kaylin: Remember all that silver? That's got to be worth enough to buy good diamonds for resurrections.
(1) GM: Elorin: Hmm... yes.... where does Kibin keep it.....
(2) Katsuro: ('Go through his pockets!')
(4) Kaylin: Portable Hole, I'd guess.
(1) GM: Elorrin rifles through Kibin's things, and digs out the portable hole, and all the silver.
(1) GM: Elorin: Well, we do seem to have a lot of it. You carry Kibin's clay, I carry Katsuro's?
(4) Kaylin: That'll work.
(4) Kaylin: Let's see if we can figure out where the nearest sizeable town is, too.
(1) GM: Knoweledge(Geography)?
(4) Kaylin: Knowledge: Geography Skill Check: [1d20+16] -> [11,16] = (27)
whispering to Kaylin, You're not entirely certain, but from the type of rock, you think you're realatively nearby a city by the name of Norgia.
(4) Kaylin: I think we're pretty close to the town of Norgia, but I'm not sure. Let's see what it's like outside this cave...
** (4) Kaylin tries to pick up Kibin and Gear (or drag or something) **
(1) GM: All told, Kibin weighs in at something like 40 pounds.
(3) Kibin: (38 to be exact. Plus three pounds from gear.)
(1) GM: Hmm... or does he not revert on death?
(4) Kaylin: (Shouldn't revert)
(1) GM: Meant to Dragon
(4) Kaylin: (oh)
(3) Kibin: (Revert to natural form when killed.)
(1) GM: As Polymorph, which reverts. Good.
(1) GM: So he weighs 41 pounds, all told.
(4) Kaylin: (Hope he's not too heavy...)
(4) Kaylin: (Good, only a Heavy load)
(1) GM: Katsuro's 180 base... equipment weight?
(2) Katsuro: (Bracers of Armor +8)
(2) Katsuro: (Bracers of Armor +8 Amulet of Natural Armor +5 Belt of Giant Strength +5 Manual of Gainfull Exercise +5 (Used) 48 Arrows +1, Bane (Outsider, Evil), 11,002gp, 5sp 50 Arrows +1, Bane (Undead), 11,002gp, 5sp 50 Arrows, Adamantine 3,002gp, 5sp)
(4) Kaylin: Actually, Elorin, come to think of it, why don't you rest for your two hours, and then I'll rest for the remainder of the night, and bring back the carriage and wagon? It'll be easier than carrying them.
(1) GM: No Efficient Quiver?
(1) GM: That'll tack on a might.....
(1) GM: But yeah....
(1) GM: Elorin finishes up his rest.
(1) GM: And prepares his spells.
(1) GM: (such as it is)
** (4) Kaylin keeps watch while he's doing that **
(1) GM: So several hours later (Divine - tied to a particular time of day, regardless of what else he might want...)
(2) Katsuro: (D&D has way too many fiddly little details.)
(1) GM: Let's see... staying put for, what, 11 hours, all told? (2 hours rest for Elorin, 8 hours rest for Kaylin, 1 hour to ready spells?)
(4) Kaylin: (well, moving around isn't going to help much...)
(1) GM: [11d100] -> [8,83,67,98,8,84,58,95,44,26,62] = (633)
(3) Kibin: (How balanced would be an epic feat that removes level loss from raise dead/ressurection?)
(1) GM: And in the first hour, while Elorin's just getting to sleep, your rest is interrupted by something coming through the entryway....
(1) GM: You've seen quite a few of these things before - a horned devil.
(1) GM: Roll for initiative.
(4) Kaylin: Dex check: [1d20+2] -> [11,2] = (13)
(1) GM: [1d20+7] -> [4,7] = (11)
** (4) Kaylin growls **
(1) GM: Dex check: [1d20+6] -> [20,6] = (26)
(1) GM: So Elorin, Kaylin, Beasty.
(1) GM: Elorin, asleep, doesn't know just yet.
(1) GM: Kylin?
(1) GM: Kaylin, rather?
** (4) Kaylin shouts "Wake up!" **
(1) GM: It's about 20 feet from you.
(4) Kaylin: (how far away is it?)
(3) Kibin: (Next free wish I get, I'm going to be feeling a little vengeful...)
(1) GM: (Turnabout, eh?)
** (4) Kaylin walks up next to it and casts Irresistible Dance on it... **
(4) Kaylin: Kaylin casts Irresistible Dance ( level 8, "Touched creature is forced to dance for 1d4 + 1 rounds." )
(1) GM: SR Penetration?
(4) Kaylin: SR penetration: [1d20+25] -> [17,25] = (42)
(4) Kaylin: [1d4+1] -> [4,1] = (5)
(1) GM: Touch attack? Granted, not difficult, what with it being flat-footed and all...
(3) Kibin: (*grins at the idea of a bunch of horned devils being simutanously teleported to the positive energy plane.*)
(4) Kaylin: Touch attack: [1d20+7] -> [16,7] = (23)
(1) GM: And that's a hit. It's Dancing.
(3) Kibin: (Even more fun if the wish is from a deity, with neigh-infinite caster levels... :D)
(1) GM: And, being it's turn, it provokes......
(1) GM: Taking yoru AoO?
** (4) Kaylin punches at it **
(4) Kaylin: Unarmed Hit (Monk's Belt) Attack Roll: [1d20+7] -> [12,7] = (19) ===> Damage: [1d8-1] -> [8,-1] = (7)
(4) Kaylin: Unarmed Hit (Monk's Belt) Attack Roll: [1d20+2] -> [13,2] = (15) ===> Damage: [1d8-1] -> [3,-1] = (2)
(1) GM: And your blow bounces off it's hide.
(3) Kibin: (Although at the same time I could wish that everyone in the world was fully healed, if not evil.)
(1) GM: Elorin casts....
(2) Katsuro: (A wish like that would backfire - At the very least, I'd have it suck the life out of you with no chance of raising.)
(3) Kibin: (It's within the power limits.)
(3) Kibin: (If it's from a deity with neigh-infinite caster level that is.)
Elorin casts Holy Word ( level 7, "Kills, paralyzes, blinds, or deafens nongood subjects." )
Elorin can cast Holy Word 97 more times
Elorin casts Level 7 Spell ( level 7, "Spell slot tracking device" )
Elorin can cast Level 7 Spell 3 more times
(4) Kaylin: (bah, just kill the damn thing ;/)
(1) GM: SR Penetration: [1d20+20] -> [19,20] = (39)
(1) GM: Will save: [1d20+15] -> [3,15] = (18)
(1) GM: And it vanishes.
(1) GM: Elorin: Did you say something?
(4) Kaylin: Nothing, nothing at all...
(4) Kaylin: I wonder why it decided to show up.
(1) GM: Elorin: All right. I'm going back to bed.
(2) Katsuro: (It's also over the danger level - In this case, way over th edanger level.)
(4) Kaylin: All right. I'll be keeping watch and might not look like an elf when you wake up, so don't panic.
(1) GM: Elorin: Fair enough.
(4) Kaylin: Kaylin casts Shapechange (sp) ( level 9, "Spell-Like Ability: Shapechange 2/day (Free action polymorph for 10 min/level" )
(1) GM: And the rest of the night passes uneventfully.
(1) GM: (first couple of monsters I picked for the other roll of 8 were to big to be walking around down there....)
(3) Kibin: (Kaylin has shapechange AS A SPELLLIKE ABILITY? O.o)
(1) GM: (Archmage Ability - but yes. )
(1) GM: She permanently burned a 9th and 5th level spell slot to do it, though.
(1) GM: But she gets it twice a day. Regardless of local conditions (other than Antimagic, or something that stops concentration).
(1) GM: (Or something that stops spell-likes of 9th level.....)
(1) GM: Very flexible spell, that.
(4) Kaylin: (so, we all rested and stuff?)
(1) GM: Yep.
(1) GM: And a few spells later, you're in Norgia with all the clay.
(4) Kaylin: (heh, thanks, just finishing up trying to figure out what spells i was using...)
(1) GM: (Two Plane Shifts and two Telepots, I imagine - )
(4) Kaylin: (Yeah, plus a Greater teleport for the Norgia thing)
(4) Kaylin: (unless it's close enough to walk)
(1) GM: (Plane Shift to Ysgard, Teleport to wagons, load stuff, Plane shift to Prime, Teleport to Norgia)
(2) Katsuro: (Maybe Pun-pun the next time I die. Yeah, that's it - Pun-pun...)
(4) Kaylin: (lol)
(1) GM: (Requires a disallowed source)
(1) GM: (Namely, Serpant Kingdoms)
(1) GM: (And pun-pun is vulnerable to the Flying Cow Patrol)
(4) Kaylin: Elorin, I think you should do the talking for selling the silver, you're more persuasive than I am.
(3) Kibin: (Make monty instead.)
(3) Kibin: (Completely invincible to anything, including the flying cow patrol and pun pun.)
** (4) Kaylin also siezes the opportunity to purchase an explorer's outfit **
(1) GM: Norgia is a quiet town, big enough, with several shops nearby, including a jewelery store.
(1) GM: With a decent stock of diamonds.
(2) Katsuro: (Monty?)
(1) GM: He gets 100k worth in diamonds, for good measure, and spends 50k of that True Ressurecting Katsuro and Kibin.
(1) GM: He puts a dent in the silver supply, though.
(3) Kibin: (Yes. He uses a fission/fusioned duplicate of himself native to the Far Realms to set up an infinite time stop and time regression loop, using time travel in order to go to every single moment in time and use time regression until Monty lives.
(3) Kibin: (Even immune to terminator attacks.)
** (4) Kaylin hovers over Katsuro and Kibin as they're brought back to life **
(2) Katsuro: (This is why GM judgement is needed.)
** (3) Kibin shivers as he wakes up from death. "Died yet again, didn't I..." **
(4) Kaylin: The Devil said he was a General of some kind, and the really powerful extraplanar entities have some extremely powerful abilities...
(4) Kaylin: Knowledge: The Planes Skill Check: [1d20+21] -> [8,21] = (29)
** (2) Katsuro sits up. **
(4) Kaylin: (To know if he can use that combo (the wish thing, though I might not know it) again sometime soon)
(2) Katsuro: "I think I was in a waiting room for a higher plane...The reading material was new."
(4) Kaylin: Now there's a depressing idea... after you die, you wait?
(3) Kibin: Bah. I just recall a short darkness. Why do you get reading material?
(1) GM: That roll is enough to recognize one (DC 28, or so, I think) - but the once/year issue would be additional useful info at +5 Dc per. Sorry.
(2) Katsuro: "Maybe they did not expect you to stay?"
(2) Katsuro: (BRB)
(3) Kibin: (We've encountered pit fiend before, they've told us they can use a wish once a year, we actually got one.)
(4) Kaylin: (Does Norgia have a library with good information on devils? Knowledge(Local) : [1d20+16] -> [3,16] = (19))
(3) Kibin: (*is Kaylin's subconscious that reminds her of things. :P*)
(1) GM: (Ah, true... okay, so you know that)
(4) Kaylin: (I need a higher real-life wisdom to remember things tat have happened :P)
(3) Kibin: (Isn't intelligence remembering stuff, and wisdom being 'wise'?)
whispering to Kaylin, Not that you're aware of, no.
(4) Kaylin: (I always thought intelligence was like quickness or agility of mind)
(4) Kaylin: I think we'll be safe from that for a year, at least from him.
(3) Kibin: (Yeah, but it's also knowledge.)
(4) Kaylin: (hmm, true)
(3) Kibin: Yay. Maybe we can wish him over to a eternal void sometime before then...
(3) Kibin: Did you get that million gold pieces worth of silver converted into coins yet?
** (4) Kaylin sounds surprised. "Million? Not yet, but there is a lot of it..." **
(1) GM: Elorin: It actually worked out to a bit over... which is just as well. The diamonds brought it back down.
** (3) Kibin stands up, asking, "Can I have my portable hole back now?" **
(1) GM: (Elorin took care of it while he was getting the diamonds)
(1) GM: Elorin: Oh, right.
(1) GM: Elorin hands back the portable hole.
(1) GM: Elorin: Left your share - all 200k of it - in platinum in there for you. Takes up much less space.
(1) GM: Elorin distributes the rest of the money - 200,000 gp value each.
(4) Kaylin: Weren't we planning on giving some to those two towns?
(3) Kibin: Yay again. Though taking up more space isn't nessecarily a bad thing...
(1) GM: Elorin: Well, the bank I sold the silver to is still open....
(2) Katsuro: "A share for the party, a share for each town."
(1) GM: Elorin: Right.... almost forgot......
(1) GM: Elorin: So we need to get.... what, about 133,333 gp back from everyone to give to the town.
** (3) Kibin counts out 2/3rds of that 200,000 then, resisting the temptation to miscount by a few coins. **
(4) Kaylin: Seems like a lot, but that is the equitable way to go about it, and those townsfolk probably need it more than we do...
(1) GM: And Elorin also gets it all out.
(3) Kibin: And a third of a gold piece, but yes.
(1) GM: You have quite the pile of coins when you're done.
(4) Kaylin: Shall we teleport to the town, then?
(1) GM: Elorin: Sounds like a plan.
(4) Kaylin: Oh, first, does anybody need to do some shopping?
(1) GM: Elorin: I'm good for now.
(4) Kaylin: We can always come back. All right, let's be off.
** (4) Kaylin makes sure everybody is ready for teleportation... **
(4) Kaylin: Kaylin casts Greater Teleport ( level 7, "Teleports without error." )
(4) Kaylin: (To the town! With the inn and stuff)
(1) GM: And all y'all end up in the town.
(3) Kibin: (You mean the broken inn? O.o)
(4) Kaylin: (well, that's one of the two towns, yes)
(1) GM: And you kinda need to visit both anyway....
** (4) Kaylin asks around if there's a city council or something to contact with a business deal **
(1) GM: Random NPC townsfolk: We'lll... about the closes you come is the town's mayor....
(1) GM: Random NPC Townsfolk: Didn't I see ya'll talkin' ta 'im earlier?
(4) Kaylin: You did. We came up with something on our travels, need to talk to him about it.
(4) Kaylin: Thank you for your help.
** (4) Kaylin walks back to the group. "Mayor it is, then. Hope he's honest..." **
(3) Kibin: (94,954.86 wealth exactly.)
(1) GM: And after some searching, you find the mayor - with a saw in hand, helping to make wood for the repairs on the inn.
(1) GM: Mayor: Ah, good to see you. Or is it? What's up?
(1) GM: There's other people around, helping as well.
(4) Kaylin: Well, you remember that pillar business?
(1) GM: Mayor: Ah, right, come into my office. Joe, would you take over here?
** (4) Kaylin follows the mayor **
(1) GM: Someone nods (presumeably Joe), and the mayor leads you into a nearby building, away from prying eyes.
(1) GM: Mayor: So what's up?
** (3) Kibin follows Kaylin that's following the mayor. **
(4) Kaylin: Well, it turns out that the whole pillar thing was built by an ancient group of mages... they wanted to increase their own power; that's where the blob came in.
(4) Kaylin: They constructed an elaborate magical diagram to keep the blob trapped, and this diagram was made of silver.
(1) GM: Mayor: Yes, our new guardian. He's... different.
(4) Kaylin: When we freed the blob, the silver clustered together, and we got it cashed in at a bank into platinum pieces.
(1) GM: Mayor: And I take it you recovered the silver.....
(4) Kaylin: So, we're here to make a donation to the town.
(1) GM: Mayor: Generous of you. I wouldn't have.
(4) Kaylin: Well, we did take some for ourselves. But your folks probably need it more than ours.
(3) Kibin: Me neither, land there wasn't claimed by either town...
(1) GM: Mayor: Officially, we both gave up claim on it in return for the food. We were rather careful on how we worded that. If anyone compares notes, we didn't exactly sell it..... so it's open for farmsteading, mining, and the like. Still, should help next time there's a famine.... if I can convince people I got it honestly, somehow.
(4) Kaylin: Want us to bury it and you can dig it up on town farmland?
(3) Kibin: (*makes mental note to take profession(lawyer) next level.*)
(1) GM: Mayor: Nah, I think I can take care of it. Just cook the books, convince people I've been saving up... as long as the next crisis is a while in coming.
(4) Kaylin: Hmm. Perhaps we could leave it in a bank account in your town's name? I'm not completely familiar with how banks here work.
(2) Katsuro: "Dole it out in small amounts...."
(1) GM: Mayor: That would basically be the plan, yes. Of course, in a town small as this one, I handle what little there is in the way of banking needs.
(4) Kaylin: Ahh, small towns... small amounts seems to be a great suggestion too.
(1) GM: Mayor: Yep. I've seen what happens when you dump too much money on a place to quickly. Not pretty.
(1) GM: (Oh, Kibin - True Ressurection restores full HP)
(4) Kaylin: Destabilises the economy and devalues the currency? Yes, that's dangerous.
(3) Kibin: (Right, forgot to set health back.)
(2) Katsuro: *Mutter* "I hadn't thought of that..."
(4) Kaylin: Well, how much do you want then?
(1) GM: Mayor: Hmm? Oh, I'm still sitting on retirement funds from earlier. I know how to manage money without messing a place up too badly.
(1) GM: Mayor: I can take it all now, if it's not inconvienient.
(4) Kaylin: Not at all.
(1) GM: The mayor takes your money, thanks you profusely, and quietly sends you on your way.
(4) Kaylin: (how far away was that other town?)
(1) GM: Three days by horse-drawn wagon. The Wagon and carriage, on the other hand, would take about a day and a half... except that they're fine with running constantly. You could get there in 12 hours.
(3) Kibin: (How many miles?)
(1) GM: 48
(1) GM: By running I didn't mean the "run" option.
(4) Kaylin: (Hmm, I could almost get there with 1 use of Shapechange...)
(1) GM: If you didn't mind a really rough trip, the carriage and wagon could get you there in three....
(4) Kaylin: Well, that was interesting. Off to the other town now, for equality?
(3) Kibin: (I can get there in 3 hours 12 minutes. Half that if I hustle.)
(1) GM: So, fast and rough, or take your time?
(1) GM: Or Teleport?
(4) Kaylin: (what would the effects of rough be?)
(1) GM: Oh, a fairly miniscule amount of damage per mile, from bouncing around.
(4) Kaylin: (nothing a mass cure light wouldn't fix? Might as well, then...)
(4) Kaylin: (I'd love to not be in a town when the devil decides it wants revenge)
(1) GM: Ookay. Let's see... 48 miles, so [48d2] -> [2,1,1,1,1,2,2,1,2,1,2,1,1,1,2,2,1,2,1,2,2,2,1,1,1,1,1,1,2,2,2,1,2,1,2,1,1,2,2,1,2,2,2,2,2,1,1,1] = (71), Fort DC 15 half.
(4) Kaylin: (er, shouldn't other people input?)... (oh well)
(2) Katsuro: Fortitude save: [1d20+10] -> [5,10] = (15)
(4) Kaylin: Fortitude save: [1d20+17] -> [5,17] = (22)
(4) Kaylin: Bumpy! But quick...
(1) GM: So 35 damage each. Which Elorin fixes up.
** (3) Kibin flies overhead kind of lazily, keeping up with the wagon and carriage fairly easily. **
(1) GM: And at about noon or so, you have a repeat performence with the other mayor.
(1) GM: And after, what do you try?
** (3) Kibin suggests to the party, "Maybe we should finnally go after that sorcerer or wizard that has it in for us?" **
(4) Kaylin: I feel really sorry for these two towns, being hit so hard by all that Shanhara business...
(4) Kaylin: Seems like these loose ends have been taken care of, Kibin... might as well continue trying to figure out where he got off to
(3) Kibin (whispering): By any chance... is he that class that can switch classes, and the simulacrum is actually one of himself, that decided to be a cleric?
(3) Kibin (whispering): That chameleon class or whatever...
whispering to Kibin, He cast Time Stop in your first encounter. What do you think?
(3) Kibin (whispering): Hmmm. No, then?
(4) Kaylin: Anyone have any ideas better than trying to scry on him?
(1) GM: Elorin: Well, I can probably find out exactly where he is....
(2) Katsuro: (There's more divination spells than scrying.)
(4) Kaylin: (scrying is the main person-finder I have access to, so it's what I'd default to thinking of)
(1) GM: (Discern Location, say....)
(4) Kaylin: Sounds great, Elorin.
Elorin casts Discern Location ( level 8, "Reveals exact location of creature or object." )
Elorin can cast Discern Location 98 more times
Elorin casts Level 8 Spell ( level 8, "Spell slot tracking device" )
Elorin can cast Level 8 Spell 3 more times
(3) Kibin: Might want to find some way of seeing the target location first...
(1) GM: And ten minutes later.....
(3) Kibin: (*wonders what defensive items he can buy with 90k.*)
(4) Kaylin: (I should really buy a ring of evasion...)
(1) GM: Elorin: Norgia. Of course. Labrynth caverns underneath. Makes sense.
(4) Kaylin: That really does tie in well with why the devil showed up at the cave, too.
(3) Kibin: Norgia?
(1) GM: Elorin: On the shore of the lake of blood.. not a boat this time.
(1) GM: Elorin: The town I woke you up in.
(1) GM: Elorin: Recently.
(4) Kaylin: Ahh, Elorin, I hope you never get tired of bringing us back from the dead...
(4) Kaylin: On the shore, eh? Hmm...
(4) Kaylin: Last time we tried teleporting in, he had a good battle plan prepared.
(3) Kibin: (If he's grappled, he can't do anything in a timestop. :P)
(3) Kibin: (Except maybe dimension door away and then do something.)
(4) Kaylin: I suppose I could try using an antimagic field on him, that might help the teleport...
(4) Kaylin: Sort of depends on us reacting first, though.
(3) Kibin: (Or a contingency, interestingly enough.)
(3) Kibin: (Antimagic field is a 6th level spell... :)
(4) Kaylin: (no Contingency)
(3) Kibin: (Buy it, or get the party to pitch in for it?)
(2) Katsuro: (How much?)
(4) Kaylin: (Problem with that is that it's short-ranged, he could move out of it if necessary...)
(3) Kibin: (1,650 GP.)
(4) Kaylin: (I was thinking of using a Beholder's antimagic cone ability for this)
(3) Kibin: (...that could work.)
(4) Kaylin: (more range on it :)
** (3) Kibin hmmms. He asks, "Where's Jason?" **
(4) Kaylin: Jason accidentally got healed in all the confusion with the burning inn, so he won't be back on the Material Plane for a few days.
(3) Kibin: Ah.
(3) Kibin: Um, technically, isn't he never on the material plane, just projecting himself into the material plane?
(1) GM: Elorin: Why? You want to scry on him?
(4) Kaylin: Layman's terms.
(1) GM: Knoweledge(Religion)?
(3) Kibin: No, just curious.
(4) Kaylin: Knowledge: Religion Skill Check: [1d20+16] -> [4,16] = (20)
whispering to Kaylin, He's actually halfway between, pushing into the "wall" between the material and the ethereal just enough to do stuff on the material
(4) Kaylin: Just so you know, he's actually essentially halfway between the material and ethereal planes, for what it's worth.
(3) Kibin: h.
(3) Kibin: Ah.*
(1) GM: Elorin: So, what's the game plan?
(2) Katsuro: "So, what's between the material and ethereal planes?"
(1) GM: Elorin: Jason, apparently.
(4) Kaylin: The metherial plane.
(2) Katsuro: "I take it you don't know?"
** (4) Kaylin sighs **
(4) Kaylin: Tell you what, after we solve this whole Blood Pool thing, I'll tell you all you want to know and more about it.
(3) Kibin: (Technically nothing, as the etheral and the material planes co-exist with each other.)
(4) Kaylin: So, battle plan.
(2) Katsuro: (Nothing is such an...Elastic term. Ask me about what space might be the next time I'm argueing physics on IRC... :D )
(4) Kaylin: As it stands, I think what would work best would be to try to teleport next to him, and if he tries to cast a spell, interrupt him. I'll turn myself into a beholder and then keep him in an antimagic field so he can't cast anything.
(2) Katsuro: "Suround him with these fields of anti-magic and then I turn him into a pin-cushen?"
(4) Kaylin: Maybe just knock him unconscious, so we can interrogate him...
(3) Kibin: (Thin kof it as the etheral plane being below(or above?) the material plane, and Jason peeking up into the material plane.)
(2) Katsuro: (I am familiar with the idea. Katsuro is not.)
(3) Kibin: Could try paralyzing him first thing before the antimagic field.
(4) Kaylin: Spellcraft Skill Check: [1d20+37] -> [19,37] = (56)
(4) Kaylin: (would antimagic field impair Paralysing breath at all?)
whispering to Kaylin, The SUPERNATURAL paralysis would be suppressed.
(3) Kibin: (It's a supernatural ability.)
(4) Kaylin: (just checking.)
whispering to Kaylin, It's in the description of Su abilities; takes Ex to avaoid an AMF... or something unaffected that blocks Line of Effect....
(4) Kaylin: Well, if you readjust to the situation before I do, go for it.
(4) Kaylin: Does this sound good to everybody? Let's try not to kill him just yet.
(2) Katsuro: "Why not?"
(3) Kibin: It's a bit harder for me to not hurt someone...
(4) Kaylin: Just for the heck of kicking him when he's down... er, I mean, to find out what he's been up to...
(4) Kaylin: Oh, well, whatever. Don't strain yourself trying to not fight as best you can.
(3) Kibin: Um, wouldn't that be "Strain yourself trying to fight as best you can"?
(2) Katsuro: "Nope."
(4) Kaylin: I believe I phrased that correctly.
(3) Kibin: But there's two negatives and... eh, nevermind.
(1) GM: (Think "It's not illegal" used to mean "It's immoral, but there's no law against it")
(1) GM: Anyway....
(3) Kibin: Shouldn't we get protections first?
(4) Kaylin: We should... let's go to a largeish town and prepare for this...
(1) GM: By spell, wagon, what?
(4) Kaylin: (teleport to one of the large cities we've been to several times sound good?)
(4) Kaylin: (test)
(3) Kibin: Why go to a large town?
(4) Kaylin: More likely to have magical items..
(2) Katsuro: (BRB)
(1) GM: Shapping. She wants, say, Contingency, some magic items with the loot just gained, et cetera.
(4) Kaylin: (no point going into battle without some preparation)
(3) Kibin: Ah, right, the whole not trusting of magic here thingie.
(4) Kaylin: (Aren't we in a small village of about 200 people right now?)
(3) Kibin: Wait, then how'd they get those bottles with lots of water in them...
(4) Kaylin: Probably for a clearly non-harmful cause, it's acceptable.
(4) Kaylin: Suspicious folk tend to be more accepting of priests and suchlike anyways, since they're all religious and often heal people.
(3) Kibin: So how is a bag of holding harmful...
(1) GM: Elorin: Ever dropped one in a protable hole?
(3) Kibin: No, thought that was generally accepted as a bad idea.
(4) Kaylin: It's an extremely bad idea, yes.
(1) GM: Elorin: Right. That's how they're harmful. Can also lose things that way, and there's the occasional Bag of Devouring to muddy the waters.....
(4) Kaylin: So, shall we go now?
(3) Kibin: Um, sure.
(1) GM: Spell?
** (4) Kaylin gathers up everything together **
(4) Kaylin: Kaylin casts Teleport ( level 5, "Instantly transports you anywhere." )
(1) GM: Familiarity check?
(4) Kaylin: [1d100] -> [60] = (60)
(1) GM: And you arrive in Generic Large Town.
(4) Kaylin: (\o/)
(1) GM: Everyone looks rather bland, in generic clothing with generic hairstyles, under generic weather.
(1) GM: The buildings are equally boring.
(4) Kaylin: All right, let's get prepared for this.
** (4) Kaylin heads off to the magic shop **
(1) GM: You see a few generic shops selling generic goods. And, completely out of place, Ye Olde Shoppe of Magjicke, Ltd
(2) Katsuro: (Ah, the effects of taking D&D literally - Either that, or too many spells.)
** (3) Kibin follows. And looks at shiney magicky items, looking for anything interesting. **
(2) Katsuro: (BRB)
(1) GM: You see a bag on a display, labeled "garbage disposal - do not touch"
** (3) Kibin stays away from item that says "Do not touch". **
** (4) Kaylin purchases a scroll of contingency and a Staff of Fire : [17750 + 1650] -> 19400 gp **
(1) GM: You also see some boots on display, some bracers, and a broom.
(3) Kibin: (Cloak of etheralness seems good... :)
(3) Kibin: (10 minutes a day, etheralness, and immunity to 95% of what we encounter.)
(4) Kaylin: May I use your crafting portal?
(1) GM: Shoppekeeper: Got the fee?
(3) Kibin: (For only 82,500 if I improve my cloak. :D)
** (4) Kaylin hands the shoppekeeper 100 gp **
(1) GM: The shoppekeeper takes it, and shows you to the door.
** (4) Kaylin hops in and writes Contingency into her spellbook **
** (3) Kibin goes see about getting some type of 'Get out of jail free' type effect on his cloak... **
(1) GM: You spy something labeled the "Cape of the Mounteback" on display.
(2) Katsuro: (How much gp do we all get from the split?)
(1) GM: [200000/3] -> 66666 each
(3) Kibin: (66666.66 to be precise.)
(2) Katsuro: (How much is a potion of Heal?)
(2) Katsuro: (BRB)
** (3) Kibin asks the shopkeeper, "What does that do?" **
(1) GM: Potions are limited to 3rd level spells.
** (3) Kibin points to the cape of the mounteback. **
(1) GM: Shoppekeeper: Oh, it lets you go from one place to another, once a day, as long as they're within 760 feet of each other. Skips all the stuff between.
** (4) Kaylin comes out of the portal, buys a focus for Contingency, and spends 10 minutes casting... **
(1) GM: Shoppekeeper: A steal at 10,080 gp.
(3) Kibin: Hmmm. Anything else that works more than once a day?
(4) Kaylin: Kaylin casts Contingency ( level 6, "Select another spell to activate on a trigger." )
(4) Kaylin: Kaylin casts Mislead ( level 6, "You become invisible and create an illusionary double." )
(4) Kaylin: (Mislead to activate upon teleporting near the human sorceror - is that specific enough?)
(3) Kibin: (Jason is techncially a 'human sorcerer'.)
(3) Kibin: (Even if he's dead...)
(4) Kaylin: (He's not going to be back for a bit...)
(1) GM: Well, for longer distances, we've got the Boots of Teleportation which work three times a day at a cost of 49,000 gp... but they also let you go a lot further. 900 miles. Helm, too, although it's a bit pricier at 73,500 gp.
(1) GM: Shoppekeeper: Looking for any particular effect?
(3) Kibin: Something that lets me still stay in the area?
(2) Katsuro: (BRB)
(1) GM: Shoppekeeper: Ah... well, we've got the standard Ring of Invisibility, and the Cloak of Etherealness.
(1) GM: Shoppekeeper: Dust of Dissapearence, of course.
(1) GM: Shoppekeeper: But I see you already have a cloak and two rings....
(3) Kibin: What's the cloak of etheralness do?
(1) GM: Shoppekeeper: Oh, it lets you slip through planar boundaries, just a little, putting you on the ethereal plane for up to ten minutes a day, divided up however you like. Great for getting away from lots of things, or fighting ghosts.
(3) Kibin: Ooo, how much would it be to add it to an existing item, like the cloak I already have?
(1) GM: Shoppekeeper: Oh, 82,500 gold crowns.
(4) Kaylin: How long would it take to add an ability to help me dodge magical attacks to this ring?
** (4) Kaylin gestures at her ring of deflection **
** (3) Kibin goes pay for it then. Yay! **
(1) GM: Shoppekeeper: Everything's up and running properly; could have it for you in under five minutes.
(4) Kaylin: Excellent. What is your fee?
(1) GM: Shoppekeeper: 37,500 gp, to add the Evasion property.
(1) GM: And Kibin gets the Etherealness property added to his cloak, after the shoppekeeper takes the money, counts it, and takes the cloak away for a short time.
(4) Kaylin: Sounds like a good trade.
** (4) Kaylin hands over the money and the ring **
(1) GM: The shoppekeeper takes the money, walks away for about five minutes, and comes back with the newly improved ring.
(3) Kibin: (Yay. Etheralness for 10 minutes a day!)
(1) GM: Shoppekeeper: Happy doing business with you. Any other purchases?
** (3) Kibin puts the cloak back on, thanks the shopkeeper, and leaves. **
(3) Kibin: Nah, I'm good for now.
(4) Kaylin: I'm done. Thank you!
(1) GM: Shoppekeeper: Come again.
(1) GM: Outside the shop, the weather has taken a generic turn for the mundane.
(4) Kaylin: (hehe)
(1) GM: The road is generically cobbled - not a single thing out of the ordinary about any one cobble anywhere.
** (3) Kibin asks Elorin if he has a Control Weather spell to make the weather a little less mundane. **
(1) GM: Elorin: Not directly, no.
(4) Kaylin: I'm ready to go now.
(3) Kibin: Meh, I'm ready too.
(4) Kaylin: So... anyone have any last-minute changes to the battle plan in mind?
(3) Kibin: Nope.
(4) Kaylin: All right... let me try to get a picture of where to teleport to...
(3) Kibin: (*shall be ready for the next evil guy that casts a wish to teleport him. :)*)
(4) Kaylin: Kaylin casts Scrying, Greater ( level 7, "Scrying lasts longer, casts quicker, no focus." )
whispering to GM, [1d20] -> [19] = (19)
whispering to Kaylin, You don't get anything.
(4) Kaylin: Hmm, looks like he threw off the sensor...
(4) Kaylin: Should we try to teleport to the entrance to the cave network and see if we can get in through there?
(1) GM: Elorin: Still, we know where he is... do you have the Greater version prepared? Just need a reliable description for that....
(4) Kaylin: I do... can you give me a good description of where to teleport to?
(3) Kibin: Might want to get that deathward and other handy stuff up first, then get an updated description, and then teleport....
(1) GM: Elorin: Right.

(1) GM: Elorin grows quite a bit, and says "Ready"
(4) Kaylin: Let's hear where to teleport to, then.
(2) Katsuro: (Back.)
(1) GM: Underground basalt caverns under Norgia, north shore of the Lake of Blood.
(1) GM: Elorin: In his comfy chair.
(4) Kaylin: The comfy chair, eh?
(3) Kibin: Comfy chair. Riiight.
(4) Kaylin: All together now.
(2) Katsuro: (The Big Comfy Couch...San check!)
(4) Kaylin: Kaylin casts Greater Teleport ( level 7, "Teleports without error." )
(1) GM: Will saves?
(3) Kibin: (Oh gosh, not THAT one!)
(3) Kibin: Will save: [1d20+18] -> [12,18] = (30)
(4) Kaylin: Will save: [1d20+21] -> [12,21] = (33)
(1) GM: Kibin, Kaylin - it's totally dark. Katsuro?
(2) Katsuro: Will save: [1d20+8] -> [6,8] = (14)
(3) Kibin: (My 120 foot darkvision still works, right?
whispering to Katsuro, The place is quite well lit. You see find yourself in an apparently empty cavern (other than Kaylin, Kibin, and Elorin, of course), strewn about with lots of boulders ranging in size from one to ten feet. Nobody in sight, though.
(2) Katsuro: "All I see are boulders."
whispering to Kibin, Yep; the place is completely dark. You see find yourself in an apparently empty cavern (other than Kaylin, Kibin, and Elorin, of course), strewn about with lots of boulders ranging in size from one to ten feet. Nobody in sight, though.
(1) GM: Oh, and roll for initiative.
(2) Katsuro: Dex check: [1d20+5] -> [19,5] = (24)
(3) Kibin: Dex check: [1d20+3] -> [1,3] = (4)
(4) Kaylin: Dex check: [1d20+2] -> [8,2] = (10)
(1) GM: [1d20+7] -> [2,7] = (9)
(1) GM: Dex check: [1d20+6] -> [6,6] = (12)
(3) Kibin: (Wow. That was sucky.)
(3) Kibin: (Hey, you can fly just fine on the etheral plane, right?)
(1) GM: Katsuro, Elorin, Kaylin, Wizard, Kibin
(1) GM: Sort of - you can Move in any direction at your normal move.
(3) Kibin: (Um, land speed or flying speed or fastest speed...)
(1) GM: Land speed if you want perfect manueverability, but you can use your flying speed for it's manueverability (although falling doesn't apply)
(2) Katsuro: (You know, if someone commented that all they could see was darkness...)
(3) Kibin: (Ah, okay.)
(1) GM: Katsuro? What are you doing?
(1) GM: You're going first.
whispering to Kibin, all the boulders in range of your blindsense show up under it... except for one human-sized boulder right next to the shore.
** (2) Katsuro wanders around. **
(1) GM: Elorin casts Light....

Elorin can cast Light 97 more times
Elorin casts Level 0 Spell ( level 0, "Spell slot tracking device" )

(3) Kibin: (I suppose a free action to speak would have to wait until I'm no longer flatfooted?)
(1) GM: You can speak if you like.
(1) GM: Kaylin?
(2) Katsuro: (If someone had said all they see is darkness, Katsuro *Could* have guess illusion...)
** (4) Kaylin turns into a beholder (60 ft. Darkvision) **
(4) Kaylin: (do I see anything?)
(3) Kibin: Hey, shoot that human-sized bolder next to the shore....
whispering to Kaylin, You see find yourself in an apparently empty cavern (other than Kaylin, Kibin, and Elorin, of course), strewn about with lots of boulders ranging in size from one to ten feet. Nobody in sight, though.
** (4) Kaylin focuses her antimagic cone thing on the boulder Kibin mentioned **
(1) GM: And it vanishes from view, nothing underneath it.
(4) Kaylin: (Hmm. Move around a bit, then...)
(1) GM: Spreading out, staying near support, what?
(4) Kaylin: (oh, did the Contingency activate?)
(1) GM: What was the wording, again?
(4) Kaylin: ('teleport near the human sorceror')
(3) Kibin: (Teleporting near the human sorcerer.)
(1) GM: Yeah.
(1) GM: It did.
(4) Kaylin: (sweet. definitely moving around... can I get the image to move too?)
(1) GM: For as long as you concentrate on it.
(1) GM: Which is a standard action.
(4) Kaylin: (I don't think I've taken my standard yet... so yeah, concentrate, image will move 20 feet towards one wall, I'll float 20 away from it)
(3) Kibin: (Or for three rounds after, in which it continues doing an action you told it to.)
(2) Katsuro: (What's the plan?)
(1) GM: Okay, and Wizard's turn......
(3) Kibin: (Like walking around searching...)
(1) GM: You hear spellcasting...
whispering to Kaylin, Time Stop.
(3) Kibin: Listen Skill Check: [1d20+21] -> [6,21] = (27)
(3) Kibin: (Listen to determine the square it's coming from? I think it's a -20 penalty...)
whispering to Kibin, It came from a boulder about eight feet tall, also near the shore.
(1) GM: And... hmm... who to pick..... Looks like Kaylin would seem to be the biggest threat. Sorry.
(3) Kibin: (Actually that's good, isn't it?)
(1) GM: After the casting, you see a solid Cube of Force, with a cloud streaked through with red embers, floating in the air opposite Kaylin's Illusion of herself.
whispering to Kaylin, Seems he saw you.
(1) GM: And Kibin, it's your turn.
(3) Kibin: (Out of the cube of force, right?)
(1) GM: You're all spread out. Only Kaylin's stuck inside.
(3) Kibin: (Her illusion? O.o)
(1) GM: It looks just fine.
(3) Kibin: (Ah.)
(4) Kaylin: (Spellcraft check to recognise the cloud: [1d20+37] -> [17,37] = (54))
(1) GM: Kaylin is the one stuck.
whispering to Kaylin, Incindiary Cloud.
whispering to Kaylin, Seems unusually hot, though.
** (3) Kibin flies over to a boulder about 8 feet tall near the shore, blasting it with his paralyzing breath weapon. **
(3) Kibin: [1d4] -> [2] = (2)
(1) GM: And you see a large, cushioned chair with a hard shell, empty, flake out from under the illusion... which then fades from view, as you have proof it wasn't real. No wizard, though.
(1) GM: Katsuro?
(2) Katsuro: (Can I see anything to shoot at?)
(1) GM: Not really, no.
(1) GM: Lots of boulders still unturned.
(4) Kaylin: (just ready an action to shoot at the sound of his casting...)
** (2) Katsuro does that. **
(1) GM: Elorin does the same.....
(1) GM: Kaylin - Reflex save?
(4) Kaylin: Reflex save: [1d20+13] -> [14,13] = (27)
(4) Kaylin: (er... hold on a sec...)
(4) Kaylin: (Do I take the Beholder's ref. save or my own?)
(3) Kibin: (Your own reflex save modified by the beholders dexterity.)
(1) GM: Hmm.... let's go with your's, for now, with the Beholder's Dex. Do note that all your items merged with you, so that Cloak of Resistance doesn't apply. You're looking at your base saves + Beholder Dex.
(4) Kaylin: (Which should be +8, then.)
(1) GM: Yeah. that's a failure. take 24 Fire damage.
** (3) Kibin asks Kaylin quickly, or Elorin if he can answer, "About how far can he cast that force cube thingie?" **
(1) GM: Kaylin's kinda incommunicado...
(3) Kibin: (Pssst, dimension door, it only has verbal component.)
(3) Kibin: (Elorin might know. :P)
(1) GM: Spellcraft Skill Check: [1d20+21] -> [20,21] = (41)
(1) GM: Elorin: Not far at all.... maybe fifty feet.
(1) GM: And Kaylin - what are you doing with your Standard and assorted Free actions? Plus move.
(4) Kaylin: (move, spin around in another direction. Standard...)
(4) Kaylin: Kaylin casts Dimension Door ( level 4, "Short ranged infallible teleport." )
(1) GM: Nothing happens.
(1) GM: And you're still stuck inside a burning cube of force.
(4) Kaylin: (Disintegrate eye ray the forcecage, then.)
(1) GM: The Forcecage vanishes.
(3) Kibin: (And then an eyeray on all boulders you see? :)
(4) Kaylin: (Sure, why not? :P)
(4) Kaylin: (Just start slinging an eye ray at each boulder...)
(2) Katsuro: (*singing* 'A Beholde-er shatt-ering boul-ders...')
(1) GM: The only one that would have any obvious effect on a boulder is Disintigrate..... which you've used up.
(4) Kaylin: (Not able to try the others just in case?)
(1) GM: [1d20] -> [8] = (8)
(1) GM: You can still try them, sure.
(4) Kaylin: (seeing as how we're suspicious these aren't really boulders...)
(4) Kaylin: (OK, let's randomly scatter all the rays around)
(1) GM: And the Wizard's turn again.....
(3) Kibin: (Doesn't the caster know automatically if a creature failed/succeeded on a saving throw?)
(3) Kibin: (Thus know if the 'boulder' is living or not?)
(1) GM: For targetted spells, yes; Rays aren't quite the same, though.
(1) GM: Or rather, what you know is if the spell succeeded or not; not WHY - so a Charm Person used on a Tiefling fails... but you don't know if it was a Will save or creature type.
(1) GM: You don't get any "success" results.
(3) Kibin: (Ah.)
(1) GM: And the Wizard's turn......
(1) GM: Listen Checks?
(1) GM: Listen Skill Check: [1d20+13] -> [11,13] = (24)
(3) Kibin: Listen Skill Check: [1d20+21] -> [13,21] = (34)
(4) Kaylin: (Katsuro, that's you....)
(1) GM: Katsuro? You were listening for spellcasting?
(2) Katsuro: Listen Skill Check: [1d20+2] -> [14,2] = (16)
whispering to Kibin, He seems to be in one of the boulders a might farther away.
(4) Kaylin: Listen check: [1d20+18] -> [14,18] = (32)
(1) GM: Oh, and kaylin - how many magical effects do you have up?
whispering to Kaylin, He seems to be in one of the boulders a might farther away; near the shore. You know which one.
(4) Kaylin: (Shapechange, Haste (everybody has it), Death Ward)
(1) GM: [1d20+20] -> [5,20] = (25), [1d20+20] -> [1,20] = (21), [1d20+20] -> [15,20] = (35)
(1) GM: Elorin and Katsuro, unforetunately, can't pinpoint him.
(1) GM: Well, Death Ward is down. For kaylin, anyway.
(2) Katsuro: (Someone could pin-point at him...)
(1) GM: And there's another chance at your Listen....
(3) Kibin: (Oh cool, I have haste too? *yay*)
(1) GM: Listen Skill Check: [1d20+13] -> [17,13] = (30)
(1) GM: And Elorin's Readied Action goes off....
(1) GM: +1 Holy Composite Longbow (+2 Str) (Rapid Shot) (attack 1+2) Attack Roll: [1d20+32] -> [15,32] = (47)===> DMG: [1d8+2d6+16+0] -> [8,5,1,16,0] = (30)
(1) GM: +1 Holy Composite Longbow (+2 Str) (Rapid Shot) (attack 3) Attack Roll: [1d20+27] -> [8,27] = (35)===> DMG: [1d8+2d6+16+0] -> [5,5,5,16,0] = (31)
(1) GM: +1 Holy Composite Longbow (+2 Str) (Rapid Shot) (attack 4) Attack Roll: [1d20+22] -> [3,22] = (25)===> DMG: [1d8+2d6+16+0] -> [4,6,3,16,0] = (29)
(1) GM: [4d100] -> [19,55,90,12] = (176)
(4) Kaylin (whispering): About how far away was the Wizard?
(1) GM: He's trying to hit, so high is good.... unfortunately, the arrows go haywire near the boulder.
whispering to Kaylin, About fifty feet
(1) GM: Katsuro? You can see where Elorin was aiming. Take your Readied action.
(2) Katsuro: Imbued Longbow, composite +5, Holy, Strong Attack Roll: [1d20+26] -> [13,26] = (39) ===> Damage: [1d8+2+5+2d6+7+0] -> [2,2,5,2,4,7,0] = (22)
(2) Katsuro: Imbued Longbow, composite +5, Holy, Strong Attack Roll: [1d20+21] -> [5,21] = (26) ===> Damage: [1d8+2+5+2d6+7+0] -> [6,2,5,2,2,7,0] = (24)
(2) Katsuro: Imbued Longbow, composite +5, Holy, Strong Attack Roll: [1d20+16] -> [8,16] = (24) ===> Damage: [1d8+2+5+2d6+7+0] -> [1,2,5,6,6,7,0] = (27)
(1) GM: And lose the arrow, uselessly, but hey.....
(3) Kibin: (Can I spot any type of wind, like what a windwall would be?)
(1) GM: Strangely, you can't see air. And there's no dust.
(3) Kibin: (How far away is it?)
(1) GM: About fifty feet.
(1) GM: Not that it matters - he got his spell off again.....
(1) GM: And a Prismatic Sphere lights the place up... right around Kaylin.
(1) GM: (Who's still considered the biggest threat).
whispering to Kaylin, Oh, and it's another Incindiary Cloud. It's not burning this time, though - it's Sonic.
(1) GM: Kibin?
** (3) Kibin says a command word, turns etheral, and searches around this place for something to help defeat the wizard with, like a weakness of some sort... **
(4) Kaylin (whispering): Erm, Prismatic Sphere is a defensive spell, isn't it?
whispering to Kaylin, Normally, yes. But you're surrounded on all sides by Prismatic Walls. From the placing, you see he had to be right next to you to cast it.....
whispering to Kaylin, Oh, and the second spell after the Dispel Magic? Time Stop.
(4) Kaylin (whispering): Ah, that answers the multiple-walls question...
(4) Kaylin (whispering): No chance of seeing him with all-around darkvision?
whispering to Kaylin, A Prismatic Wall is defined as Vertical. Sphere's go all around.
whispering to Kaylin, You're not seeing him through the choking cloud of Sound.
(2) Katsuro: (Poke?)
(1) GM: Your turn.
(1) GM: Some whisperings.
(3) Kibin: (Katsuro's turn?)
whispering to Kibin, You notice that the pool of blood is equally red on the Ethereal.
(1) GM: Yep.
(2) Katsuro: (Oh.)
(2) Katsuro: (Oops, sorry.)
(2) Katsuro: (Can I hear well enough to shoot?)
(1) GM: Actually, technically, due to the readied action, Katsuro and Elorin move down, and it's kaylin's turn again.
(1) GM: Kaylin - Reflex save.
(4) Kaylin: [1d20+9] -> [6,9] = (15) (forgot the +1 from haste)
(1) GM: Failure. Take 24 points of Sonic damage.
(1) GM: So, what are you doing with your Move and Standard, Swift and assorted Free?
(4) Kaylin: (Any chance of shapechanging into a beholder ghost?)
(1) GM: No templates, sorry.
(4) Kaylin: (dang.)
(3) Kibin: (Shapechange into a prismatic dragon?)
(4) Kaylin: (I don't have prismatic dragon info handy...)
(3) Kibin: (Oh wait, needs caster level of 23.)
(3) Kibin: (So much for being immune to prismatic sphere then. :P)
(1) GM: Even for the Wyrmling, yes.
(1) GM: Tick tock.
(3) Kibin: (Wait??? Prismatic sphere can only be cast on yourself?)
(4) Kaylin: (well, Shapechange into dread wraith and see if I can detect him with lifesense)
(3) Kibin: ("Effect: 10-ft.-radius sphere centered on you")
(1) GM: It is, however, afterwords, stationary. So you can move.
(1) GM: But yes.
whispering to Kaylin, Nope, he's not within Line of Effect.
(1) GM: Using Move or Standard?
(4) Kaylin: (done, then.)
(1) GM: Now Katsuro.
(2) Katsuro: (Can I hear anything to get a shot off at?)
(1) GM: Listen check?
(3) Kibin: (Oh by the way Kaylin, etheral creatures can pass through a prismatic sphere without damage. :P)
(2) Katsuro: Listen Skill Check: [1d20+2] -> [18,2] = (20)
(3) Kibin: (If you are completely on the etheral plane at the time that is.)
(4) Kaylin: (That's what I'm going for...)
(1) GM: (Abjouration effects are on the list of things that extend to the ethereal..... just like force. Theoretically, a Fighter on the Ethereal plane could bull-rush a material Wizard with Mage Armor (or bracers of armor) off a cliff)
(1) GM: Prismatic Sphere? Abjouration.
(1) GM: No, you can't hear him.
(4) Kaylin: (oh, ok...)
(3) Kibin: (Huh? O.o)
(1) GM: The Force effect gives him something to grab onto, as it extendes to the ethereal.....
(3) Kibin: (I meant to the abjuration crossing over...)
(1) GM: (It's under the description of the Ethereal plane)
(3) Kibin: ("The only exceptions are spells and spell-like abilities that have the force descriptor and abjuration spells that affect ethereal beings.")
(3) Kibin: ("...abjuration spells that affect ethereal beings...")
(1) GM: Also check Etherealness under special abilities and conditions "A force effect originating on the Material Plane extends onto the Ethereal Plane, so that a wall of force blocks an ethereal creature, and a magic missile can strike one (provided the spellcaster can see the ethereal target). Gaze effects and abjurations also extend from the Material Plane to the Ethereal Plane. None of these effects extend from the Ethereal Plane to the Material Plane."
(3) Kibin: (But it says nothing about abjuration spells.)
(1) GM: "A force effect originating on the Material Plane extends onto the Ethereal Plane, so that a wall of force blocks an ethereal creature, and a magic missile can strike one (provided the spellcaster can see the ethereal target). Gaze effects and abjurations also extend from the Material Plane to the Ethereal Plane. None of these effects extend from the Ethereal Plane to the Material Plane."
(3) Kibin: (Ah. Okay.)
(3) Kibin: (Um, sorry for disrupting the game. :P)
(1) GM: So'okay.
(1) GM: Anyway.. Trying anything, Katsuro?
(1) GM: Ping?
(2) Katsuro: (Ready to shoot when the bad guy chants.)
(1) GM: Okay. Elorin does the same thing.
(4) Kaylin: (by the way, what's HP gained from one night of rest? Keeping track of hp is ... not fun)
(1) GM: And it's MR. Wizard's turn again.
(1) GM: One per HD
(1) GM: Although it's presumed that Elorin will heal basically everyone up who asks for it in the evening.
(3) Kibin: (Yup.)
(4) Kaylin: (Right now, I'm more concerned about the healing from Polymorph...)
(3) Kibin: (Now excuse me as I calculate if armor or shields is more effective...)
(1) GM: That's why you keep changing.... that only works for the initial casting, you realize.....
(1) GM: Although I'm surprised you haven't thought about Spell Resistence yet.
(1) GM: A Stone Golem can walk right through a Prismatic Sphere unaffected.....
(4) Kaylin: (most things with SR I can think of also are big enough to stick their heads through a prismatic sphere)
(1) GM: Sure, there's the whole "falling" thing....
(1) GM: ... And stone Golems are only Large.
(1) GM: The thing's got a 10-foot radius. You could fit something Huge in there.
(1) GM: But back to Mr. Wizard......
(2) Katsuro: (Supper.)
(1) GM: Okay.
(1) GM: And listen checks?
(1) GM: Listen Skill Check: [1d20+13] -> [9,13] = (22)
(1) GM: Listen Skill Check: [1d20+2] -> [4,2] = (6)
(3) Kibin: Listen Skill Check: [1d20+21] -> [11,21] = (32)
(3) Kibin: (Not that it matters much, which is why I'm trying to find an alternate solution. :P)
(4) Kaylin: (*boggle* stone golem... why did I not think of that...)
whispering to Kibin, He's moved into yet another boulder... or rather, out of......
(1) GM: Elorin - you're the most threatening looking thing that hasn't yet been seemingly neutralized... Fort save.
(1) GM: Fortitude save: [1d20+19] -> [19,19] = (38)
(1) GM: And Elorin's fine.
(3) Kibin (whispering): Is there a pattern to the movements through the boulders?
whispering to Kibin, Not particularly, no. He's smart enough to avoid those.
(3) Kibin (whispering): Back to searching for kryptonite then...
(1) GM: And a large dragon comes flying out of a medium rock, looking like it's made out of iron.
(1) GM: And it bites at Elorin: [1d20+30] -> [2,30] = (32) for [2d8+8] -> [1,1,8] = (10)
(1) GM: And it misses.
(1) GM: Kibin?
(3) Kibin: (Hmmm.)
(2) Katsuro: (Back.)
** (3) Kibin goes next to the iron dragon, saying a command word to materialize again. **
(2) Katsuro: Listen Skill Check: [1d20+2] -> [17,2] = (19)
(1) GM: The Prismatic Sphere lights the place up quite well. He's not hiding anymore.
(1) GM: Or are you listening for Kibin's Command Word?
(2) Katsuro: (Oh. Was listening for evil wizard.)
(1) GM: Evil Wizard Shapechanged. Now Evil Dragon.
(4) Kaylin: (this is gonna be amusing...)
(2) Katsuro: (Ah, thought it was an illusion. Need rust monster!)
(1) GM: It's very audible, too.
(1) GM: You can see rocks flying out of the way as it passes, and so on.
(1) GM: It's clearly real enough.
(1) GM: Kibin went, so it's Kaylin's turn.
(1) GM: Still inside the Prismatic sphere. Reflex save?
(4) Kaylin: [1d20+9] -> [15,9] = (24)
(4) Kaylin: (oops, hold that)
(1) GM: Failure. Take 24 sonic damage.
(4) Kaylin: (that was the Beholder's dex score, the Dread Wratih has a +14 dex modifier)
(3) Kibin: (It has a what now. O.o)
(4) Kaylin: (I can't count. 9)
(4) Kaylin: (so [1d20+16] -> [6,16] = (22))
(1) GM: Still a failure, although thanks for reminding me you're incorporeal - 51 or higher misses [1d100] -> [85] = (85)
(4) Kaylin: (*rolls eyes*)
(1) GM: Congratulations - you miss damage this round.
** (4) Kaylin tries Shapechanging into an iron golem... what's the worst that could happen? **
(1) GM: Kaylin falls.
(1) GM: Take [2d6] -> [4,1] = (5) damage.... -10, for DR.
(1) GM: So 0.
(1) GM: Oh, and you're now Prone.
(3) Kibin: (Ironically, shapechanging doesn't affect an iron golem.)
** (4) Kaylin stands up **
(3) Kibin: (Pardon the pun. x.x)
(1) GM: That's move, so what's your Standard?
(4) Kaylin: (Where's that dragon got off to?)
(1) GM: Magic Immunity is treated as Infinite SR - and SR never interferes with your own spells....
(1) GM: Standing next to Elorin - who's been basically standing in place all this time.
(4) Kaylin: (So, what, 20 ft. away from me?)
(1) GM: Pretty much.
(3) Kibin: (Oh. Hmmm.)
(4) Kaylin: (well, let's see, can I use the standard to move 10 feet closer?)
(1) GM: Yes.
** (4) Kaylin breathes a cloud of greenish poisonous gas at the dragon **
(4) Kaylin: (Next use: [1d4+1] -> [1,1] = (2) rounds)
(1) GM: And nothing happens.
(4) Kaylin: (done, then.)
(1) GM: Katsuro?
(2) Katsuro: Imbued Longbow, composite +5, Holy, Strong Attack Roll: [1d20+26] -> [3,26] = (29) ===> Damage: [1d8+2+5+2d6+7+0] -> [7,2,5,3,3,7,0] = (27)

(2) Katsuro: (BRB)
(2) Katsuro: (Back)
(4) Kaylin: (oh yeah... Knowledge(Arcana) to figure out what type of dragon [1d20+32] -> [2,32] = (34) , Spellcraft about the iron body thing [1d20+37] -> [10,37] = (47))
(1) GM: Black, Iron Body.
(3) Kibin: Knowledge: Arcana Skill Check: [1d20+5] -> [20,5] = (25)
(3) Kibin: (Second arcana check. So I know a little too. x.x)
(4) Kaylin: (Any idea on the age of the dragon? Size?)
(1) GM: Mature Adult, Huge.
(3) Kibin: (...of course, pick the ONE DRAGON SPECIES that doesn't have a vulnerability.)
(3) Kibin: (Hmmm, two dragon species.)
(3) Kibin: (Three...)
(1) GM: (But a pretty rare immunity, so....)
(2) Katsuro: (BRB)
(3) Kibin: (Four... okay so maybe not.)
(1) GM: Anyway....AC 33; no hits.
(1) GM: +1 Holy Composite Longbow (+2 Str) (Rapid Shot) (Point Blank) (attack 1+2) Attack Roll: [1d20+33] -> [20,33] = (53)===> DMG: [1d8+2d6+17+0] -> [4,4,6,17,0] = (31)

(1) GM: Elorin steps out of range, and tries his bow.....
(3) Kibin: (With two crit confirmations...)
(3) Kibin: (I think.)
(1) GM: Yep. [1d20+33] -> [1,33] = (34) and [1d20+18] -> [8,18] = (26)
(1) GM: Oh.. not subject. Iron Body.
(1) GM: [31+27+31+34-45] -> 78
(3) Kibin: (Huh. Does my paralyzing breath weapon affect physiology or respiration, or does it just make people ice cubes?)
(1) GM: And it's the Wizard's turn.....
(1) GM: (insane fort save at the moment......)
(1) GM: And he steps up to the overly strong archer and unleashes a full attack.
(1) GM: Bite [1d20+30] -> [5,30] = (35) for [2d8+8] -> [4,8,8] = (20), Claw [1d20+25] -> [19,25] = (44) for [2d6+4] -> [5,2,4] = (11), Claw [1d20+25] -> [18,25] = (43) for [2d6+4] -> [2,4,4] = (10) Wing [1d20+25] -> [13,25] = (38) for [1d8+4] -> [2,4] = (6), wing [1d20+25] -> [17,25] = (42) for [1d7+4] -> [7,4] = (11), tail slap [1d20+25] -> [1,25] = (26) for [2d6+4] -> [4,4,4] = (12)
(1) GM: [11+10+6+11] -> 38
(4) Kaylin: (... yeah, that's a pretty tough archer...)
(1) GM: And Elorin takes a few blows from the iron dragon.... and grins through the pain.
(1) GM: Kibin?
(3) Kibin: (Not as tough as the rogue, though. :)
(2) Katsuro: (Back.)
** (3) Kibin goes ahead and launches his paralyzing breath weapon a second time at him, mentally crossing his fingers. **
(4) Kaylin: (No chance of a sneak attack on it?)
(1) GM: [1d20+5+5+6] -> [16,5,5,6] = (32)
(1) GM: No, no chance of a sneak attack.
(1) GM: Iron Body - makes you immune to crits.
(3) Kibin: (DC 25, failed. :P)
(3) Kibin: [1d4] -> [4] = (4)
(1) GM: And Kaylin?
(3) Kibin: (Psssst kaylin. Lightning bolt.)
(3) Kibin: (Three round slow, no save. :)
** (4) Kaylin morphs into Dread Wraith form, and attempts to touch the dragon with an Irresistible Dance (only has a V component) **
(4) Kaylin: Kaylin casts Irresistible Dance ( level 8, "Touched creature is forced to dance for 1d4 + 1 rounds." )
(3) Kibin: (Hehe, this should be funny.)
(2) Katsuro: (Dancing dragon? Sanity check!)
(1) GM: Touch attack?
(1) GM: And SR Penetration?
(4) Kaylin: [1d20+16] -> [8,16] = (24)
(4) Kaylin: SR Penetration: [1d20+23] -> [20,23] = (43)
(3) Kibin: (You know that if we actually used the sanity variant rules, you'd have to make a sanity check every time you saw Kibin or Jason. :P)
(1) GM: Hit, and Penetrate.
(4) Kaylin: [1d4+1] -> [3,1] = (4)
(3) Kibin: (Hmmm, well, every day at least.)
(4) Kaylin: (Dragondance!)
(1) GM: And Katsuro's turn.
(3) Kibin: (Lol...)
(1) GM: Katsuro?
(2) Katsuro: (Right.)
(2) Katsuro: Imbued Longbow, composite +5, Holy, Strong Attack Roll: [1d20+26] -> [19,26] = (45) ===> Damage: [1d8+2+5+2d6+7+0] -> [3,2,5,1,6,7,0] = (24)

(2) Katsuro: (Adamantine arrows.)
(1) GM: AC 29 - all three hit. Right arrows, [24+27+25] -> 76
(1) GM: And Elorin's turn....
(3) Kibin: (Does elorin have an adamantine sword I can borrow?)
(1) GM: Actually, you get an extra attack from Haste.....
(1) GM: At full AB.
(1) GM: Roll it....
(4) Kaylin: (roll.... please?)
(1) GM: Katsuro?
(1) GM: Ping?
(4) Kaylin: (*sniff*)
(1) GM: Oh well - Elorin, then.......
(2) Katsuro: (Oops, sorry.)
(2) Katsuro: Imbued Longbow, composite +5, Holy, Strong Attack Roll: [1d20+26] -> [1,26] = (27) ===> Damage: [1d8+2+5+2d6+7+0] -> [5,2,5,2,2,7,0] = (23)

(1) GM: And a miss. Oh well.

(3) Kibin: (A natural 1 miss. Happily, it can't teleport and hit Jason in the back. :D)
(1) GM: Three hits, [25+26+30] -> 81 damage.
(1) GM: And the Wizard provokes. Anyone threatening?
(4) Kaylin: (I should be)
(3) Kibin: (Me, I think.)
(2) Katsuro: (Not in meelee.)
(1) GM: The dancing iron dragon looks rather.... umm.... strange.
(1) GM: Kaylin - take your AoO.
(4) Kaylin: Incorporeal Touch attack: [1d20+16] -> [1,16] = (17) for [2d6] -> [5,5] = (10) + [Bad dice format] - [1d8 con drain]
(4) Kaylin: (oh, immune to ability drain...)
(3) Kibin: (Can I make a trip AoO?)
(1) GM: No, he's only immune to damage, not drain.......
(1) GM: And if you like, you can try.....
(3) Kibin: (Hmm, on second thought, kind of stupid.)
(4) Kaylin: (it was a miss anyways)
(1) GM: True.
(1) GM: Kibin?
(1) GM: Dinner - gotta go.
** (3) Kibin does a glancing bite at the iron dragon, not that it'll do much. Though not really tasted to see what iron tastes like yet... **
(1) GM: Back in about half an hour or an hour.
(3) Kibin: [1d20+25] -> [11,25] = (36)
(3) Kibin: [1d6+6] -> [1,6] = (7)
(3) Kibin: (*goes fix TEH MEGA SANDWICH OF YUMMINESS!*)
(3) Kibin: (Mmm. Meat, bread, spices, and more meat.)
(2) Katsuro: (Ham. All such sandwiches need ham.)
(2) Katsuro: (And black pepper beef.)
(4) Kaylin: (Hmmm, if I pulled back and went Beholder with Antimagic Cone, that'd turn him into a dancing human sorceror without Iron Body, yes?)
(3) Kibin: (No. Irresistable dance would be supressed.)
(4) Kaylin: (ah, damn, so much for that idea.... guess Katsuro and Elorin can pincushionify him then)
(2) Katsuro: (Katsuro likes that idea.)
(4) Kaylin: (yeah, we can always Speak With Dead if necessary...)
(3) Kibin: (*hopes this is the sorcerer and not just a simulacrum. x.x*)
(4) Kaylin: (That'd suck if this was a simulacrum)
(4) Kaylin: (but at least this is quite possibly the most magically flashy battle I've yet seen)
(2) Katsuro: (I'm not only getting spam, it's all the exact same type of spam - Fake stock quotes.)
(4) Kaylin: (too bad douglas is ill, though :\ )
(4) Kaylin: (A friend of mine just got some ICQ spam saying that someone wanted to add him to his buddy list because he'd seen my friend on the police register :P)
(2) Katsuro: (Spam is the million monkeys of the internet - And they ain't typing.)
(3) Kibin: (Rot your brain while you wait for the GM to come back.)
(1) GM: Back. Who all's online?
(2) Katsuro: (I)
(2) Katsuro: (What's black and white and black and white and black?)
(3) Kibin: (A chess board?)
(1) GM: A Failure result in Mastermind?
(2) Katsuro: (Penguin rolling down a hill!)
(1) GM: A Zebra?
(3) Kibin: (Lol.)
(2) Katsuro: (What's Mastermind?)
(3) Kibin: (You are a sad sad person.)
(1) GM: Particular game where you're trying to guess a sequence of numbers. You get a number of white results for "right number, wrong spot" and black results for "right number, right spot", although it says X black and Y white...
(1) GM: Anyway... Kibin, Katsuro... need Kaylin.
(2) Katsuro: (...Ok.)
(2) Katsuro: (/me plays the viola...badly.)
(4) Kaylin: (O.o wow, that was weird... banana phone)
(4) Kaylin: (test?)
(1) GM: Ah, you're back. Now where were we...

---

(1) GM: Kibin almost chips a tooth on the iron.
whispering to Kibin, And it tastes like a nail.
(1) GM: Kaylin?
** (4) Kaylin makes a wraithy touch attack **
(4) Kaylin: [1d20+16] -> [1,16] = (17) for [2d6] -> [5,1] = (6) plus [1d8] -> [7] = (7) Con
(4) Kaylin: (AARGH!)
(3) Kibin: (o.o)
(3) Kibin: (That, and he's still immune to ability damage...)
(1) GM: And, completely unfamiliar with her current form, accidentally pokes her own finger. Not that it does anything.
(4) Kaylin: (So that's 2 rounds off of the 4, if I'm counting right)
(1) GM: Yep.
(3) Kibin: (Hehe. Pokes own finger.)
(1) GM: Katsuro?
(3) Kibin: (Anyway, tell me when it's my turn again. :P)
(2) Katsuro: (Right.)
(3) Kibin: (Didn't the wizard just go?)
(2) Katsuro: Imbued Longbow, composite +5, Holy, Strong Attack Roll: [1d20+26] -> [17,26] = (43) ===> Damage: [1d8+2+5+2d6+7+0] -> [2,2,5,3,4,7,0] = (23)

(3) Kibin: (You skipped me. :(
(1) GM: Wizard, Kibin, Kaylin, Katsuro, Elorin..... Kibin chipped a tooth. Saw your declaired actions when I scrolled up - went for a bite, not expecting anything.
(4) Kaylin: (I think that was an AoO)
(1) GM: You know what? You're right.
(1) GM: So Kibin's turn it is.
(3) Kibin: (Yay.)
** (3) Kibin takes out portable hole, takes out adamantine sword, starts cutting up iron dragon. **
(1) GM: Umm... Move to dig out portable hole, full-round to set it out, move to retreive sword.......
(3) Kibin: (Okay... so done next turn. :P)
(1) GM: You can have your sword in hand next turn, what with the "Start/Complete Full-Round Action" actions.....
(3) Kibin: (Yup.)
(1) GM: And now Katsuro's attacks... AC 39, two hits [23+29] -> 52 ... still using adamantine arrows? Also, Haste attack?
(3) Kibin: (Iron only has a hardness of 10, and someone with iron body has DR 15/adamantine...
(2) Katsuro: (Yes.)

(2) Katsuro: Imbued Longbow, composite +5, Holy, Strong Attack Roll: [1d20+16] -> [10,16] = (26) ===> Damage: [1d8+2+5+2d6+7+0] -> [2,2,5,4,5,7,0] = (25)
(1) GM: Just like an Iron Golem, yes.
(3) Kibin: (Don't notice anything inconsistent with that? x.x)
(3) Kibin: (Would be in line with mithral though...)
(1) GM: They're magically treated. And another hit [23+29+21] -> 73
(1) GM: And the last arrow goes straight into the beasts eye, shattering it.....
(1) GM: The beast crumples, and shrinks.... and the iron fades....
(1) GM: Wizard: Okay.... oh well. Looks like you win this time... But... you still ... don't... get.. it......
(1) GM: The wizard melts into a puddle of water, leaving behind nothing but three iron rods and a spell components pouch.
** (3) Kibin pokes the puddle of water with his sword he was getting out. Meh. **
** (4) Kaylin lets out a wraithy scream-hiss **
(2) Katsuro: "Well...Should we go pick up Jason?"
(2) Katsuro: (That's about 8 or 12 arrows?)
(1) GM: The water flows to the pool of blood.
(1) GM: 12, I think.
** (4) Kaylin resumes elven form **
(3) Kibin: Kaylin, that's kind of hard on the ears you know...
(1) GM: The pool of blood ripples....
(4) Kaylin: Sorry, pent-up frustration.
** (4) Kaylin glares at the pool of blood **
(1) GM: And a strand of it reaches up, about five feet tall, taking on a vaguely human shape.
** (3) Kibin fires off his damaging cold weapon at the forming shape. **
(3) Kibin: [1d4] -> [3] = (3)
(1) GM: Unfortunately, it's out of range... unless you want to charge over the pool of blood, that is.....
(1) GM: After a short time, it coaleses into a human shape... female, looking remarkably like the statue in the church.
** (4) Kaylin tries to scoop up the iron rods left behind by the wizard (should be really close) **
** (3) Kibin stays put then. **
(1) GM: They are, and they come up easily.
(4) Kaylin: Knowledge: Arcana Skill Check: [1d20+32] -> [17,32] = (49)
(4) Kaylin: Knowledge: Arcana Skill Check: [1d20+32] -> [12,32] = (44)
(4) Kaylin: Knowledge: Arcana Skill Check: [1d20+32] -> [5,32] = (37)
(4) Kaylin: (Can I recognise any?)
(1) GM: She's dressed in a gauzy robe, that only gives hints as to her true outline.
(1) GM: No, but one has the image of a cat engraved on it, the other two, bears.
** (4) Kaylin stashes them in pockets and turns to face the humanoid **
** (3) Kibin stares at the humanoid shape. "Greetings?" **
(1) GM: What you can see of her outline, however, is rather hourglass.
(1) GM: Shanhara: Welcome. He was one of my favorites.... a little hot tempered, but very useful.
(1) GM: Shanhara: Still... easy come, easy go.
(4) Kaylin: I noticed the hot tempered bit. I presume we have the honour of addressing Shanhara?
(1) GM: Shanhara: So to speak. You recognize me?
(4) Kaylin: We've encountered your likeness before, in churches.
(1) GM: Shanhara: It is good to know such stalawart people have attended to my likeness.
(1) GM: Her clothing is white, seemingly unstained by the blood she stands on.
(4) Kaylin: So... why the blood pool?
(1) GM: Shanhara: It does many things. It is an ... aspect.
(1) GM: Shanhara: Why do you oppose peace?
(4) Kaylin: We're not against peace, we're just against some of the methods your minions have used.
(4) Kaylin: Also, especially this one seemed to want to kill us fairly badly, so you could call that self-defense.
(1) GM: Shanhara: Has he ever chased you?
(3) Kibin: Does summoning demons to chase after us count?
(4) Kaylin: Didn't he send minions from the evil planes against us?
(1) GM: Shanhara: Or was he reacting to someone arriving unannounced and possibly threatening me?
(1) GM: Shanhara: Details.... as I recall, he's just been sending strike forces against those who invaded earlier, while he was mending another of my servants.
(2) Katsuro: "That's ok. We were reacting to your death-dealing."
(1) GM: Shanhara: I hardly deal in death.
(1) GM: Shanhara: I deal in life.
(4) Kaylin: Where did this blood all come from?
(1) GM: Shanhara: It's mine.
(3) Kibin: The sacrifices in your name could be considered death, as well as the 'death' of free will.
(2) Katsuro: "Ah. So you take it."
(1) GM: Shanhara: I take that which is freely given. I take that which was spilled on it's own.
(2) Katsuro: "I'm quite sure the babies didn't have a choice. Or your enspelled townspeople."
(4) Kaylin: In your name... children have been slaughtered, villages dominated, helpless innocents butchered, and our friends killed. These are the actions of followers of one who supports peace?
(1) GM: Shanhara: Parents who did not consider themselves fit to raise children gave theirs to me. People who were warring were stopped in the most expedient manner... without harm. The only helpless innocents butchered were when you released those I had imprisoned. Your friends kept attacking those on the Holy Work of Eternal Peace.
(1) GM: Shanhara: How are they not?
(1) GM: Listen checks?
(4) Kaylin: Listen Skill Check: [1d20+7] -> [17,7] = (24)
(3) Kibin: Listen Skill Check: [1d20+21] -> [9,21] = (30)
(2) Katsuro: Listen Skill Check: [1d20+2] -> [9,2] = (11)
(4) Kaylin: The warring people were stopped and if we hadn't intervened they would have starved to death.
whispering to Kibin, You hear a faint rumbling underground.
(4) Kaylin: (nnoooooooo... I have to go to dinner, back as soon as possible)
(1) GM: Shanhara: My servants were caring for them. You only stopped the secondary war, caused after the tranquility. They would not have starved had you not removed my servant, who was keeping them fed.
** (3) Kibin looks down at that ground, asking idly, "What's that rumbling?" **
(4) Kaylin has sent you a tree node...
(3) Kibin: And for your information, the starving problem is fixed now.
(1) GM: Enjoy dinner....
(2) Katsuro: "The thing is, slavery is wrong. You don't have the right to make other peoples' descisions for them."
(1) GM: Shanhara: Why not? Is it not the right of all gods to tell their children what to do?
(3) Kibin: Yes, and let them make it of their own right, not shove it down their throats.
** (3) Kibin starts hovering in the air just as a protection. **
(2) Katsuro: "I'm quite sure you did not make any race."
(1) GM: Listen checks?
(2) Katsuro: Listen Skill Check: [1d20+2] -> [9,2] = (11)
(1) GM: Shanhara: You seem nervous, little one. Is something wrong?
(3) Kibin: Listen Skill Check: [1d20+21] -> [5,21] = (26)
whispering to Kibin, The rumbling has become slightly louder, and is still beneath your feet.
(3) Kibin: Other than some rumbling, no...
(1) GM: Shanhara: Ah. Well, it is uncivilized to speak with weapons drawn. Would you care to join me for a meal?
(3) Kibin: Sense Motive Skill Check: [1d20+16] -> [14,16] = (30)
(3) Kibin: (To see if there's any ill intentions that it seems are behind it...)
(2) Katsuro: "No, I would not. I would care to stop your madness."
(1) GM: At that, the back wall of the cavern backs away from you, and a table, loaded with good-looking food, rises up out of a pool of blood revealed by the moving wall.
(2) Katsuro: "Trap."
(1) GM: Shanhara: Do I sound angry?
(2) Katsuro: "Do I sound stupid?"
(1) GM: Shanhara: Would it make you feel better if I ate first? Here....
(1) GM: Shanhara walks towards you, across the lake of blood, seemingly towards the table.
(2) Katsuro: Imbued Longbow, composite +5, Holy, Strong Attack Roll: [1d20+26] -> [13,26] = (39) ===> Damage: [1d8+2+5+2d6+7+0] -> [4,2,5,2,6,7,0] = (26)
(2) Katsuro: Imbued Longbow, composite +5, Holy, Strong Attack Roll: [1d20+21] -> [15,21] = (36) ===> Damage: [1d8+2+5+2d6+7+0] -> [8,2,5,5,5,7,0] = (32)
(2) Katsuro: Imbued Longbow, composite +5, Holy, Strong Attack Roll: [1d20+16] -> [18,16] = (34) ===> Damage: [1d8+2+5+2d6+7+0] -> [7,2,5,1,4,7,0] = (26)
(2) Katsuro: (Got an oath to fullfill. And she's done talking.)
(3) Kibin: (*twitch*)
(1) GM: All the arrows dig into her flesh.... but the wounds don't bleed.
(1) GM: She seems unconcerned as she reaches and pulls the arrows out.
(2) Katsuro: (There are some things that seem to be constant about my characters... :D)
(2) Katsuro: (Even if I use the Bane ones?)
(1) GM: Once out, there's no trace that they were ever there.....
(1) GM: Shanhara: Is there no trust in this world?
(1) GM: Shanhara continues past, to the table, and picks up a goblet of wine.
(2) Katsuro: (Bane arrows?)
(1) GM: She then takes a full swallow.
(1) GM: Evil Outsider? No particular effect, no.
** (3) Kibin twitches slightly at the arrows fired... "I won't attack you unless I sense danger of an attack on me first... but I'll still remain suspicious if you don't mind." **
(1) GM: Shanhara: So you're not hungry, then?
(2) Katsuro: (Lawfull Neutral? Actually that would fit better than Lawfull Evil, in the D&D alignments.)
(3) Kibin: No, it's just that I'm suspicious of anything made out of a pool of blood, that we have known to have various types of magical control on people...
(1) GM: Shanhara: If it's any consolation, it's not really blood, and the food is formed by gathering things to build them. Same way I moved the wall, only on a much finer scale.
(1) GM: Shanhara: Are you sure you aren't hungry?
(1) GM: Shanhara: I find most people are much more pleasant after a good meal.
(3) Kibin: For that food, still no.
(1) GM: She looks a little disappointed.
(1) GM: Shanhara: As you wish.
(2) Katsuro: "Yes, after you num their brains."
(2) Katsuro: * Numb
(2) Katsuro: ()
(2) Katsuro: (Whatever)
(1) GM: (perfect timing for a slip.....)
(4) Kaylin: (back)
(2) Katsuro: (What, does she eat brains, too?)
** (3) Kibin idly casts Detect Magic to look at any magical auras on the food. **
(1) GM: When speaking of numb brains, you misspelled something....
whispering to Kibin, You see only the Dim aura of fading magics.
(2) Katsuro: (Yep.)
(1) GM: Shanhara seems to be avoiding any direct gaze from Kibin, for the moment.
whispering to Kibin, She seems to be able to tell exactly where you're looking.... and moves faster than you can scan the area, so you never get a good reading on her.
(1) GM: Shanhara: Careful with that... you wouldn't want to accidentally go blind.
** (3) Kibin hmmphs, What the heck are you supposed to do about possibly evil people that play nice? **
(1) GM: Listen check?
(2) Katsuro: Listen Skill Check: [1d20+2] -> [14,2] = (16)
(3) Kibin: Listen Skill Check: [1d20+21] -> [10,21] = (31)
(4) Kaylin: (roleplay the crap out of it is about all I can think of)
(4) Kaylin: Listen Skill Check: [1d20+7] -> [16,7] = (23)
(1) GM: This time, everyone can hear the faint rumbling comeing from underground.
(1) GM: Shanhara: So you say you want me to stop being peaceful? Seems such a shame.....
(4) Kaylin: (tell me the GM is nice enough to not put us on top of a volcano?)
(4) Kaylin: Well, not necessarily.
(1) GM: (I try to be a little more creative than that......)
(3) Kibin: No, we just want you to stop magically dominating people... peace is fine...
(2) Katsuro: "And murdering people."
(4) Kaylin: Perhaps there could be some changes in methodology, but peace is a good goal.
(1) GM: Shanhara: When I don't stop them, they keep going to war again...... that's hardly peace.
(4) Kaylin: You could use your powers to force their leaders to resolve issues in a mutually beneficial manner.
(3) Kibin: They went to war this time because of need for survival. They didn't grow enough food.
(2) Katsuro: "People will alwyas go to war and they will always stop."
(4) Kaylin: Rather than simply controlling the populations and squashing their free will.
(2) Katsuro: "How about you kidnap tyrants that insist on war and lock them in a room together?"
(4) Kaylin: Hmm, and give them each the key to the other's locks?
(1) GM: Shanhara: It's always a need for survival. One time it's for iron, so they can properly defend themselves. Another it's for food. One century, two... they're always back at war, feeding my brother.
(3) Kibin: So meet their needs again.
(4) Kaylin: Your... brother?
** (3) Kibin drifts closer to Kaylin while hovering for a quick teleport out of here. **
(1) GM: Shanhara: There's limits to what even I can do, short of controlling the population more directly. During peace, everyone raises a family.... and sooner or later, there's more of them than the land will support. Sure... I can feed a great number of them... but it would only be a matter of time before they outtripped what I can provide, too.
(4) Kaylin: Why not influence leaders of nations? Make them see the sense in efficient resource management?
(3) Kibin: Then perhaps encourage them to not get as intimate with each other?
(1) GM: Shanhara: Have you ever tried to stop two people in love?
(4) Kaylin: Sounds like a challenge.
(1) GM: Shanhara: They're so unthinking. When I tone down their thoughts, sure... but that's exactly what you've been objecting to. You see?
(3) Kibin: Well... no... my culture is, was, based on breeding as fast as possible...
(2) Katsuro: "See, the thing is, all problems are solveable. But suppressing problems doesn't solve them."
(2) Katsuro: "Everything is temporary - Including you."
(1) GM: Shanhara: It does when I can suppress them until something stops me.
(1) GM: Shanhara: And I will be around a very, very long time. I am older than most mountains.
(2) Katsuro: "Nope. Then there's another problem. Let's take art - No great works of out can come out of suppressed people."
(1) GM: Shanhara: A minor problem. What is art, really? But I suppose if you aren't planning on chainging your mind.
(2) Katsuro: "Nor can they enjoy them."
(2) Katsuro: "Life isn't living without art."
** (4) Kaylin lets Katsuro take the lead here, having some internal debates with the abstract persuasiveness of Shanhara's ideas... **
(1) GM: Shanhara looks sad.
(1) GM: I suppose you leave me with little choice but to feed my brother somewhat myself.
(2) Katsuro: "What's the point of preserving people if they aren't going to accomplish anything? Change is nessasary."
(4) Kaylin: Hey, hey, hold on a moment...
(3) Kibin: Also the problem we have with you... we try to talk things over and you eventually try to kill us...
(4) Kaylin: let's not get unnecessarily violent here...
(4) Kaylin: Could you please tell me who your brother is?
(1) GM: Shanhara: His name is a meaning. War, bloodshed, destruction, hate. All the things I remove from my people. You have fed him yourselves, from time to time.
(3) Kibin: To prevent feeding him a larger feast so to speak.
(1) GM: Shanhara: He is very hard to beat. Any direct confrontation gains him more than it costs. Always. The only way he'll perish is to deny him sustenence. Which you continually grant him.
(1) GM: Shanhara: Such a pity........
(2) Katsuro: "Too much stasis, peoples' hearts die. Too much chaos, peoples' bodies die."
(4) Kaylin: And how long will he have to be denied?
(3) Kibin: Kaylin, can we teleport out of here now?
(1) GM: Shanhara: I'm not sure. I'll first have to rid the world of destruction.
(4) Kaylin: Erm....yes, why?
(3) Kibin: Because speaking with her for this long is dangerous for my health. And everyone else here too, I think...
(1) GM: The ground shifts, and raises over you. You're no longer standing on any solid surface... and a solid surfcae is coming your way.
(4) Kaylin: (oops, timing...)
(1) GM: Let's see.... who's landbound at the moment.....
(4) Kaylin: I think you're right, Kibin...
(1) GM: Katsuro... and I think Kaylin turned back into an Elf... fliers, reflex saves.
(3) Kibin: YES NOW GET WITH THE TELEPORTING!
(3) Kibin: Reflex save: [1d20+24] -> [14,24] = (38)
(4) Kaylin: Reflex save: [1d20+13] -> [8,13] = (21)
(2) Katsuro: Reflex save: [1d20+10] -> [3,10] = (13)
(1) GM: Reflex save: [1d20+22] -> [10,22] = (32)
(1) GM: Kibin and Elorin manage to get out of the way as the entire slab of ground your standing on turns upside down.
(1) GM: Kaylin, katsuro - strength checks.
(4) Kaylin: Str check: [1d20-1] -> [8,-1] = (7)
(1) GM: Katsuro?
(2) Katsuro: Str check: [1d20+7] -> [15,7] = (22)
(1) GM: Katsuro manages to get a grip on the ground.
(1) GM: Kaylin falls into the pool of blood.
(1) GM: Shanhara stands calmly on the surface of the blood.
(1) GM: Shanhara: Such a pity... still... you'll make excellent servants... after.
(4) Kaylin: (if possible, I'm going dread wraith as soon as I can...)
(1) GM: Kaylin - Will save.
(2) Katsuro: "Resorting to destruction?"
(4) Kaylin: Will save: [1d20+21] -> [17,21] = (38)
whispering to Kaylin, Your mind is assailed by crazily pacafistic and peaceful thoughts... but you manage to fight them off, for the moment.
(1) GM: Shanhara: No more than putting wheat on the millstone to make flour.
whispering to Kaylin, And yes, you can now turn Dread Wraith.
(2) Katsuro: "Of course. One can always justify."
** (4) Kaylin starts trying to float up and out of the blood **
(3) Kibin: (Um, are we in combat rounds or not? O.o)
(1) GM: Yeah, sure - roll for initiative.
(3) Kibin: Dex check: [1d20+3] -> [12,3] = (15)
(4) Kaylin: Dex check: [1d20+2] -> [14,2] = (16)
(1) GM: [1d20+10] -> [16,10] = (26)
(2) Katsuro: Dex check: [1d20+5] -> [9,5] = (14)
(1) GM: Dex check: [1d20+6] -> [5,6] = (11)
(1) GM: So Shanhara, Kaylin, Kibin, Katsuro, Elorin.
(1) GM: And Shanhara just went, so Kaylin's turn.
** (4) Kaylin is floating up out of this shaft and back to the surface **
whispering to Kaylin, You find the blood is anethma to your undead substance; where a portion of you and the blood make contact, your substance starts to dissolve... fortunately, it's a relatively slow process.... and the blood seems to be filling back in from where it vanished from around you.
whispering to Kaylin, The blood seems to dissolve just as your substance does.
(1) GM: Kaylin, take [10d6] -> [4,5,1,4,4,5,1,4,3,1] = (32) damage.
(1) GM: Oh, and make a strength check (with your modifier of 0, yes)
(4) Kaylin: [1d20] -> [4] = (4)
(1) GM: You don't make any progress, and remain trapped below the surface.
(3) Kibin: (Technically the modifer isn't 0, there simply is no modifier.)
(1) GM: It's under the nonabilities of monsters - a shadow has no strength score - but wherever it matters (say, it picked up a Ghost Touch +1 Sword) a nonability is a modifier of 0.
(4) Kaylin: (wait, I need a strength check to fly vertically?)
(1) GM: Yes.
(4) Kaylin: (blech.)
(1) GM: You failed the initial strength check, and got caught in the sticky morass. That sticks even to incorporeals. Kibin got something in the way of warning earlier.
(2) Katsuro: (Shapechange into something with a very high strength score.)
(3) Kibin: (But which I didn't tell anyone because I kind of expected to be able to teleport out before this happens. x.x)
(1) GM: And the attempt was a full-round action, so it's Kibin's turn.
(1) GM: Shanhara flinches for no apparent reason.
** (3) Kibin flies up further, asking Shanhara, "Can't we work together, helping you achieve peace without mentally dominating anyone?" **
(1) GM: Shanhara: You who work with anethma, and do my brother's bidding? I'm afraid that won't work out overly well. I was hoping I could dissuade you from your ways.....
(1) GM: Katsuro? You're currently holding onto the underside of a rock face, suspended over a pool of blood. You're realatively near the edge, and you might be able to climb somewhere with better footing.
(2) Katsuro: (Power surge for +8 strength, then climb.)
(2) Katsuro: Str check: [1d20+7] -> [11,7] = (18)
(2) Katsuro: (So 22.)
(1) GM: And you make your climb check, and reach firmer footing on top of the rock slab. With a standard action remaining.
(2) Katsuro: (Five rounds on the Power Surge.)
(2) Katsuro: Imbued Longbow, composite +5, Holy, Strong Attack Roll: [1d20+26] -> [9,26] = (35) ===> Damage: [1d8+2+5+2d6+7+0] -> [4,2,5,6,5,7,0] = (29)
(2) Katsuro: Imbued Longbow, composite +5, Holy, Strong Attack Roll: [1d20+21] -> [11,21] = (32) ===> Damage: [1d8+2+5+2d6+7+0] -> [4,2,5,3,3,7,0] = (24)
(2) Katsuro: Imbued Longbow, composite +5, Holy, Strong Attack Roll: [1d20+16] -> [7,16] = (23) ===> Damage: [1d8+2+5+2d6+7+0] -> [8,2,5,2,4,7,0] = (28)
(3) Kibin: Um, no clue what anethma means...
(2) Katsuro: (Try the Bane undead arrows for fun.)
(2) Katsuro: (Basically, cursed, damned, evil, get out.)
(4) Kaylin: (I hope she's not grousing about me)
(1) GM: What are you targeting?
(2) Katsuro: (Two on Shanhara, one at the blood.)
(3) Kibin: (Does he have greater manyshot? O.o)
(1) GM: Shanhara seems just about as concerned about undead bane arrows as she was about Evil Outsider Bane arrows.
(1) GM: The one in the lake just splashes to no visible effect.
(1) GM: Shanhara: Those are actually quite relaxing.
** (3) Kibin asks Elorin, "Can you try a mass heal?" **
(1) GM: Shanhara: Strange, that. I wouldn't expect a servant of my brother to use something with that flavor.
(1) GM: Elorin: Okay.
Elorin casts Mass Heal ( level 9, "As heal, but with several subjects" )
Elorin can cast Mass Heal 98 more times
Elorin casts Level 9 Spell ( level 9, "Spell slot tracking device" )
Elorin can cast Level 9 Spell 2 more times
(1) GM: Shanhara: Thanks, just what I was looking for, after that thing in me.....
(4) Kaylin (exit): 19:46
(2) Katsuro: "I don't serve your brother...Or you. Any incidental benifits are not intended."
(1) GM: What happened to Kaylin?
(1) GM: My connection appears to be working.....
(16) Kaylin (enter): 19:47
(16) Kaylin: (I seem to have had a netbump)
(2) Katsuro: (BRB)
(1) GM: Last line seen?
(16) Kaylin: (lastline was about Katsuro's arrow splashing in the lake)
(1) GM: Shanhara: Those are actually quite relaxing.
(1) GM: Shanhara: Strange, that. I wouldn't expect a servant of my brother to use something with that flavor.
(2) Katsuro: (Negative energy!)
(1) GM: Kibin asked Elorin to try a Mass Heal, Elorin did, Shanhara thanked him. Katsuro denyed serving her brother.
(1) GM: And it's Shanhara's turn again.
(3) Kibin: Um... negative energy next maybe....
(1) GM: Shanhara closes her eyes momentarily.
(1) GM: Katsuro, reflex save.
(2) Katsuro: Reflex save: [1d20+10] -> [1,10] = (11)
(2) Katsuro: (BRB)
(1) GM: The stone floor around Katsuro reaches up and encompases him to the neck, leaving his head free, and enough room in his chest for breathing.
(1) GM: Otherwise, though, he's encased in solid rock, about five inches thick.
(1) GM: Kaylin?
** (16) Kaylin shapechanges into a Planetar and tries flying up again. **
(1) GM: Swim check?
(1) GM: (defaults to Strength)
(16) Kaylin: [1d20+7] -> [18,7] = (25)
(1) GM: A head appears in the lake of blood, seeming slighly fatigued.
(1) GM: Kibin?
** (3) Kibin tries casting a ray of frost at the blood pool, seeing if it does anything, probally not... **
(1) GM: Touch attack roll?
(3) Kibin: [1d20+20] -> [14,20] = (34)
(1) GM: And that's a hit; roll for damage.
(3) Kibin: [1d3] -> [2] = (2)
(1) GM: The spot you hit frosts over momentarily, but it quickly melts.
(1) GM: Taking a move action?
(3) Kibin: (Other than just flying around, thinking, nope.)
(1) GM: Okay. Katsuro's turn.
(1) GM: Care to make a strength check to break out?
(1) GM: Ah, not back yet. Just as well.
(1) GM: Elorin tries for a spell.....
(3) Kibin: (*is tempted to see what happens when different blood than red mixes in.*)
Elorin casts Harm ( level 6, "Deals 10 points/level damage to target" )

(1) GM: And attempts to tuch the lake's surface.
(1) GM: [1d20] -> [4] = (4)
(1) GM: He successfully does....
(1) GM: [1d20+20] -> [17,20] = (37)
(1) GM: And there's a great crackling sound......
(1) GM: Lances of black energy run across the lake, and blood vanishes in it's wake.
(1) GM: Shanhara screams.
(1) GM: And a wave of blood rushes up to engulf Elorin.
(1) GM: Reflex save: [1d20+22] -> [14,22] = (36)
(1) GM: And he manages to avoid it... barely.
(1) GM: Kaylin?
(3) Kibin: (That was cool.)
** (16) Kaylin attempts to fly out of this bloody lake **
(3) Kibin: (Anyway have to go now... and brilliant use of punnage Kaylin. :D)
(16) Kaylin: (or if flying is obviously impractical, swim to shore)
(1) GM: Strength check?
(16) Kaylin: (see 'ya)
(1) GM: Take care.
(16) Kaylin: [1d20+7] -> [6,7] = (13)
(3) Kibin: Disconnecting from server...
(3) Kibin (exit): 20:02
(1) GM: You manage to get your wings loose.
(1) GM: Oh, and make another Will save.
(16) Kaylin: Will save: [1d20+21] -> [2,21] = (23)
whispering to Kaylin, You change your mind that there's any reason to stop Shanhara. She's right. You should just let her have her way... she's so nice and generous. Only trying to help people. Does a really good job of it..... (your mind is no longer your own, sorry)
(16) Kaylin (whispering): So I'll just kinda float around then?
whispering to Kaylin, Violence is such a bad thing. Never solves anything..... you do need to stop your misguided friends from hurting her, though. Can't hurt them in the process, of course.....
whispering to Kaylin, Actually, the blood parts trivially for you now. Even seems to bear you up......
(16) Kaylin: (remind me to never fight dieties again...)
(1) GM: (She's not... yet)
(1) GM: Kaylin stands safely and securely on the lake, as though it were solid ground.....
(1) GM: And you've still got your standard action.
(16) Kaylin (whispering): So at this point I need to try to stop Elorin and Kibin to the best of my ability without hurting them?
(2) Katsuro: (Back.)
whispering to Kaylin, Right. Drop them in the oh-so-nice lake, incapacitate them with Wall of Stone, Charm them, et cetera. But nothing liable to hurt them physically.
(16) Kaylin: (how close is Elorin?)
(1) GM: You find yourself locked up in a bunch of stone. Care to make a Strength check to break out?
(1) GM: He's up in the air, about thirty feet away.
(2) Katsuro: [1d20+11] -> [8,11] = (19)
(2) Katsuro: (Mom's gonna check emial.
(2) Katsuro: * )
** (16) Kaylin looks sad and slightly self-doubtful, but casts anyways... **
(16) Kaylin: Kaylin casts Waves of Exhaustion ( level 7, "All living creatures within 60 ft. cone become exhausted." )
(1) GM: You strain mightily, but nothing happens.
(16) Kaylin: (errr... hold on, I can't cast it.)
(16) Kaylin: (I think... oh wait, no MC, I can :( )
(16) Kaylin: (Planetars are OK with V and S components?)
(1) GM: No material or focus components, and you're a planetar, which is basically human, outwardly.
(1) GM: (other than the wings)
(1) GM: No trouble with the casting.
(1) GM: And that's a 7th level Necromancy?
(16) Kaylin: (yes... best way I've got to slow without damaging)
(1) GM: Shanhara flinches, but makes no comment.
** (16) Kaylin notes Shanhara's flinch and murmurs a few words of apology. **
(1) GM: Kibin.. not seeing anything useful to do, flies around the top of the cavern.
(1) GM: Katsuro? You're still encased in rock.
(1) GM: Shanhara: You couldn't know. Can you avoid the negative energy?
(1) GM: Narf?
(16) Kaylin: I'll try to.
(1) GM: Care to make another Strength cehck to break loose?
(16) Kaylin: (He said his mother was using the computer for a bit)
(1) GM: Right. Okay. Umm....
(1) GM: Str check: [1d20+7] -> [15,7] = (22)
(1) GM: And he's at +4 for Power Surge.....
(1) GM: Katsuro breaks loose of the stone.
(1) GM: Elorin swoops down for another Harm.

(1) GM: [1d20] -> [17] = (17)
(1) GM: [1d20+20] -> [17,20] = (37)
(1) GM: And there's yet another great crackling sound, and the level of the lake drops as more blood is destroyed.
(1) GM: Shanhara screams again in pain.
** (16) Kaylin winces **
(1) GM: And it's Shanhara's turn again. Another wave of blood attempts to engulf Elorin.....
(1) GM: Reflex save: [1d20+22] -> [18,22] = (40)
(1) GM: Hmmm... does Death Ward stop Waves of Exhaustion? Hold a moment....
(1) GM: Yes it does.
(1) GM: And Elorin again evades the wave of blood.
(1) GM: Kaylin?
** (16) Kaylin shapeshifts into a silver dragon and attempts to grapple Elorin **
(1) GM: Unfortunately, she finds that his Ring of Freedom of Movement is still as effective as ever.
(1) GM: Kibin looks on forlornly....
(1) GM: Katsuro.....
(1) GM: Hmm... what would Katsuro do.....
(1) GM: Well, for now, he delays.
(16) Kaylin: (Seems like he'd try to blast arrows at the lake, from past experience)
(1) GM: Elorin swoops in for yet another Harm dive-bomb....
(1) GM: Actually, seeing the trouble kaylin's in, he attempts to help her.....

(1) GM: [1d20+20] -> [18,20] = (38)
whispering to Kaylin, Your mind is your own again.
** (16) Kaylin roars triumphantly.... **
(1) GM: Shanhara attempts to grab Elorin.. and Kaylin, being next to him from the failed grapple, is in range, too.
(1) GM: Reflex saves.
(1) GM: Reflex save: [1d20+22] -> [17,22] = (39)
(16) Kaylin: [1d20+8] -> [3,8] = (11)
(1) GM: The manueverable Elorin defy's Shanhara's attempts to catch him.
(1) GM: Kaylin, however, is dragged down into the lake. Make a Will save.
(16) Kaylin: Will save: [1d20+21] -> [1,21] = (22)
(16) Kaylin: (bah.)
(1) GM: And then she stands on it, again secure in the rightness of Shanhara.
(16) Kaylin: (yeah, let's all play Mind Ping-Pong with the wizard :/)
(1) GM: Kaylin?
(16) Kaylin: (How far away is Kibin and Katsuro?)
(1) GM: Katsuro is on top of a floating chunk of rock. Kibin's way up at the ceiling, out of reach of anything shorter than Medium..
(16) Kaylin: (either within 40 ft. for paralyzing gas?)
(1) GM: You could catch Katsuro, yes. With a move actoin, you could fly into range for Kibin.
(1) GM: Not that dragons can be paralized, mind....
** (16) Kaylin blasts paralyzing gas at Katsuro, and flies up towards the ceiling. **
(1) GM: Fortitude save: [1d20+10] -> [19,10] = (29)
(16) Kaylin: [1d4] -> [3] = (3)
(1) GM: What age a dragon?
(16) Kaylin: (Young Adult, DC 23)
(1) GM: So nothing much happens.
(1) GM: And Katsuro again delays....
(1) GM: Elorin tries to free Kaylin yet again... this time, getting well away from the lake in the process....

Elorin can cast Level 6 Spell 2 more times
(1) GM: [1d20+20] -> [9,20] = (29)
(1) GM: But Kaylin remains chained in her beliefs.
(2) Katsuro: (Back.)
(1) GM: Care to take an action? You broke loose.
(2) Katsuro: (Not that there's much I can do - Other than try to slow down Kaylin.)
** (2) Katsuro starts being incredibly insulting about Shanhara - Try to get Kaylins' attention. **
(16) Kaylin: (Got any negative energy weaponry?)
(2) Katsuro: (Nope.)
** (16) Kaylin glares at Katsuro **
(1) GM: Shanhara, with Elorin momentarily out of easy reach, focuses in on Katsuro.
(1) GM: The rock you're on flips over. Strength check?
(2) Katsuro: [1d20+11] -> [8,11] = (19)
(1) GM: You find you can't quite get a grip in time, and fall into the lake. Will save?
(2) Katsuro: Will save: [1d20+8] -> [6,8] = (14)
(1) GM: [1d20+10] -> [10,10] = (20)
(1) GM: The blood retreats somewhat around you, oddly.
(1) GM: It seems... uncomfortable. But it still drags you underneath.
(1) GM: Elorin again attempts to fee kaylin.

(16) Kaylin: (nooo, just Harm the lake!)
(1) GM: [1d20+20] -> [16,20] = (36)
(1) GM: And Kaylin's mind is again her own.
(1) GM: Shanhara concentrates.....
(1) GM: [1d20+20] -> [5,20] = (25)
(1) GM: [1d20+20] -> [20,20] = (40)
(1) GM: [1d20+20] -> [11,20] = (31)
(1) GM: what spells do you have active?
(16) Kaylin: (Shapechange)
(1) GM: I know the Death Ward went away earlier.... Hero's Feast?
(16) Kaylin: (oh yeah, Hero's Feast)
(2) Katsuro: (Positive energy!)
(1) GM: Oh, and you had a Mislead up at some point, I think.... well, that's gone, too (barely).
(1) GM: So you're now just running under Shapechange.
(1) GM: Kaylin? You get an action under your own control, now.....
** (16) Kaylin shapechanges into a Beholder and blasts the lake with a Disintegrate, an Inflict Moderate, and a Fear. **
(16) Kaylin: (if possible, also target Shanhara with an antimagic field)
(1) GM: What's the range?
(16) Kaylin: (150 feet)
(1) GM: You manage to get the white-robed figure in your antimagic cone. And she instantly dissolves back into the blood from whence she came.
(1) GM: And touch attack rolls?
(16) Kaylin: [1d20+9] -> [18,9] = (27) [1d20+9] -> [3,9] = (12) [1d20+9] -> [7,9] = (16)
(1) GM: And all hit (you're targetting a lake - don't roll a 1)
(1) GM: Fort: [1d20+20] -> [9,20] = (29)
(16) Kaylin: (yeah, kinda hard to miss a lake...)
(16) Kaylin: (save DCs are all 17)
(1) GM: Save DC's kinda low on those.... so yeah. Still, it's [3d6] -> [2,2,6] = (10).
(1) GM: Will: [1d20+20] -> [19,20] = (39)
(1) GM: So half damage on the Inflict... which was what?
(16) Kaylin: [2d8+10] -> [6,2,10] = (18)
(1) GM: Ah, [2d8+10] -> [8,3,10] = (21)
(1) GM: Okay, we'll go with your roll.
(16) Kaylin: (heh)
(1) GM: (after the half, it's a one point difference... makes my numbers add up a little better, though)
(1) GM: The substance of the lake seems to flinch away from the fear ray, and curdle a little for a bit.
(16) Kaylin: (and if I still have a move action, let's try to float over to the shore)
(1) GM: Shanhara's been busy restructuring the place. Shore is now floating in the air, upside down.
(16) Kaylin: (whee)
(1) GM: Katsuro? You're under the blood. Will save?
(1) GM: [1d20+10] -> [3,10] = (13)
(16) Kaylin: (well, float towards some solid land, and BRB)
(2) Katsuro: Will save: [1d20+8] -> [17,8] = (25)
(1) GM: The force of your oath pushes back on the substance of Shanhara, and you find yourself standing firmly on solid stone.
(1) GM: There's not a speck of her on you.
(1) GM: Actions?
(2) Katsuro: (Hmm...Talk a walk to the middle of the lake? Or run?)
(1) GM: You hear a disembodied voice coming from the wall of blood next to you "What are you?"
(2) Katsuro: "Purpose."
** (2) Katsuro runs towards the center of the laike. **
(2) Katsuro: * lake
(16) Kaylin: (What's all this about Oaths?)
(1) GM: And Shanhara's substance retreats in front of him.....
(1) GM: (I'm adding a little bit of flavoring to one of his class features......)
(16) Kaylin: (mmm)
(2) Katsuro: (Kensai.)
(1) GM: (Or is it class requirements? Either way....)
(2) Katsuro: (Well, requirement. This is more of a feature.)
(1) GM: You make it a fair distance... but you aren't quite there yet.
(2) Katsuro: (Shanhara is the target of Katsuros' current oath.)
(17) Kaylin (enter): 20:57
(16) Kaylin (exit): 20:57
(1) GM: Something that's based on life and peace, faced with a being focused specifically on nothing more than Destruction... of that specific life and peace, has difficulties trying to bend a mind...... a Wizard, a mind turned in on itself towards discipline and control of energy, is much more mallieable)
(17) Kaylin: (And yet another netbump, my connection is really frizzy tonight...)
(1) GM: At least mine's been stable.
(1) GM: Anyway.....
(1) GM: Elorin's turn.....
(1) GM: Elorin dives towards Shanhara, and attempts another spell....

(1) GM: The lake shudders....
(1) GM: The image of Shanhara reforms on the surface of the blood.
(1) GM: Kaylin?
(17) Kaylin: (am I over solid ground, perchance?)
(1) GM: Yeah.
(17) Kaylin: (drop 40 feet with move action, focus Antimagic Cone on Shanhara if she's in range, target lake with Disintegrate, Inflict Moderate, and Fear.)
(1) GM: The image of Shanhara again dissipates harmlessly back into the blood from which she came.
** (17) Kaylin sends out rays of negative energy towards the lake... **
(1) GM: [1d20+20] -> [18,20] = (38), [1d20+20] -> [4,20] = (24)
(1) GM: Both saves successful.... and a little more curdling at the site of the Fear ray.
(17) Kaylin: Disintegrate: [3d6] -> [2,6,4] = (12) , Inflict Moderate: [2d8+10] -> [4,5,10] = (19)
(1) GM: Roll damage (and attacks, but those are "don't roll a 1" scenarios)
(17) Kaylin: Disintegrate: [1d20+9] -> [10,9] = (19), Inflict Moderate: [1d20+9] -> [5,9] = (14), Fear: [1d20+9] -> [17,9] = (26)
(1) GM: Okay. And Katsuro again.
(2) Katsuro: Heading towards the center, still.
(1) GM: Make a Will save.
(1) GM: [1d20+10] -> [13,10] = (23)
(2) Katsuro: (If we completly kill Shanhara, what about her brother?)
(2) Katsuro: Will save: [1d20+8] -> [7,8] = (15)
(17) Kaylin: (He'll be pleasd as punch.)
(2) Katsuro: (And we'll have to kill him, too, probably...)
(1) GM: And the blood congeals in around you, impeding progress.
(17) Kaylin: (Joy. Elorin's show with the Mass Heals, then :P)
(1) GM: Elorin dives in close enough for another Harm.....

(1) GM: [1d20+20] -> [1,20] = (21)
(2) Katsuro: (How much of the lake is gone?)
(1) GM: Full 150...
(1) GM: The lake drops down to the point where you can actually see Katsuro again, as the negative enrgy from Elorin's spell lashes out through it's substance. About twenty feet from katsuro, there's an odd bump in the surface of the lake.
(2) Katsuro: (Percentage?)
(2) Katsuro: (Ah.)
(17) Kaylin: (I've completely forgotten in all the excitement how high the ceiling was...)
(1) GM: Referring to damage from Elorin's spell, there..
(1) GM: Shanhara attempts again to engulf the foe that keeps causing her such harm....
(1) GM: Reflex save: [1d20+22] -> [6,22] = (28)
(1) GM: And Elorin is caught.
(1) GM: Will save: [1d20+28] -> [16,28] = (44)
(1) GM: But he holds to his own mind, for now.
(1) GM: Kaylin?
(17) Kaylin: (If I go elf, how much of a drop do I have left?)
(1) GM: Well, there is some rock levitating just five or ten feet beneath you. The surface of the lake is about a hundred feet down.
(17) Kaylin: (... ok, staying Beholder then...)
** (17) Kaylin drops down a few feet and lets loose with a few more negative rays at the pool, firing off a Finger of Death, a Disintegrate, and a Fear at the surface, and focusing the antimagic cone at the tendrils grasping Elorin. **
(17) Kaylin: Ranged Touch attacks: [3d20] -> [7,12,13] = (32)
(1) GM: Saves: [2d20] -> [1,7] = (8)
(1) GM: Ah, Finger of Death first? Okay.
(1) GM: Necromancy -7, so 49.....
(1) GM: [3d6] -> [1,6,5] = (12) on the Disintigrate, and Necromancy-4 on the Fear...
(1) GM: The stone finally falls out of the sky, as the lake retracts in towards it's center.
(1) GM: Katsuro?
(2) Katsuro: Imbued Longbow, composite +5, Holy, Strong, Power Surge Attack Roll: [1d20+26] -> [5,26] = (31) ===> Damage: [1d8+2+5+2d6+11+0] -> [4,2,5,1,4,11,0] = (27)
(2) Katsuro: Imbued Longbow, composite +5, Holy, Strong, Power Surge Attack Roll: [1d20+21] -> [15,21] = (36) ===> Damage: [1d8+2+5+2d6+11+0] -> [3,2,5,1,5,11,0] = (27)
(2) Katsuro: Imbued Longbow, composite +5, Holy, Strong, Power Surge Attack Roll: [1d20+16] -> [5,16] = (21) ===> Damage: [1d8+2+5+2d6+11+0] -> [6,2,5,1,3,11,0] = (28)
(2) Katsuro: (
(2) Katsuro: (Bane Outside Evil - [2d8+2] -> [8,7,2] = (17))
(2) Katsuro: (Or just Adamantine. I dunno.)
(2) Katsuro: (I'm falling asleep.)
(1) GM: Concealment miss chances: [3d100] -> [69,38,87] = (194)
(1) GM: High is good, as you want to hit..... so first and third.
(1) GM: The arrows thunk into something solid inside the dome of blood at the center.....
(1) GM: And suddenly the remainder of the lake of blood vanishes, leaving nothing more than a dessicated skeleton, with two arrows in it's spine, in a white, gauzy dress, on top of a black obsidian alter.
** (17) Kaylin makes the beholder equivalent of a shout of victory **
(1) GM: There's a knife in the skeleton's hand, and it is in her own heart.
** (17) Kaylin turns herself into a Planetar and flies over to the altar **
(2) Katsuro: "Well..."
(17) Kaylin: Congratulations, Katsuro. Nice shooting there.
(2) Katsuro: "Somehow I don't think it was just my shooting."
(2) Katsuro: "Despair is a nasty thing."
(17) Kaylin: Of course.
(17) Kaylin: Now... what to do from here?
(2) Katsuro: "That is the most important question."
** (17) Kaylin glances around the lakebed **
(2) Katsuro: "Whatever crisis comes next, I guess."
(1) GM: There's no evidence that there ever was any blood there at all.
(17) Kaylin: The other lakebeds had blood left over in them, didn't they...
** (17) Kaylin lands next to the altar **
(2) Katsuro: "Well, she seems to be dead and the blood was part of her..."
** (17) Kaylin turns back into an elf **
(2) Katsuro: (BRB)
(17) Kaylin: Kaylin casts Arcane Sight ( level 3, "You can see all magical auras within 120 feet." )
** (17) Kaylin casts a quick spell to reveal magical auras and starts looking around the area, seeing if there's anything that glows... **
whispering to Kaylin, the alter glows, in strong aura of mixed necromancy and enchantment.
(2) Katsuro: (Back.)
whispering to Kaylin, The Knife also glows strongly to your arcane sight.
(17) Kaylin: Hmm, the altar and the knife are strongly magical.
(17) Kaylin: (ok, this is kinda embarassing... I absolutely cannot think of anything to do at this point :P)
(2) Katsuro: (End the session?)
(17) Kaylin: (it'd be nice to wrap up this before session is over, although this probably is a good stopping place)
(1) GM: Well, in that case...

---

(1) GM: "See" all y'all in two weeks.
