[6/4/17, 7:03:42 PM] Ceiling Cat: Alright! So you guys are hanging out in Nation's lounge. Nation is in Void Space, refueling. For reference, Tamwile, according to some of the others, Void Space is a space between spaces in the Multiverse. It always gives you the best views from the observation lounge, lots of strange stellar phenomena visible in the distance.

[6/4/17, 7:04:23 PM] Ceiling Cat: https://i.ytimg.com/vi/lt0WQ8JzLz4/maxresdefault.jpg

[6/4/17, 7:05:33 PM] Ceiling Cat: https://img.purch.com/rc/640x415/aHR0cDovL3d3dy5zcGFjZS5jb20vaW1hZ2VzL2kvMDAwLzA2Ni81MzMvb3JpZ2luYWwvTW9sZWN1bGFyQmxhY2tIb2xlLmpwZw==

[6/4/17, 7:05:39 PM] Ceiling Cat: STuff like that.

[6/4/17, 7:06:25 PM] Ceiling Cat: Nation comes here to refuel by forming connections to the Postive and Negative Energy planes.

[6/4/17, 7:07:37 PM] Ceiling Cat: So you're hanging out here and still mulling what to do with the Crown of Communion.

[6/4/17, 7:07:58 PM] Janis: Janis is interrogating Tamwile about his past life.

[6/4/17, 7:08:15 PM] Janis: "So, if you had to define your business, what would you say you sell?"

[6/4/17, 7:09:23 PM] Tamwile: Not everything can be quantified as straight selling or buying.

[6/4/17, 7:10:53 PM] Wynn: Wynn is sitting to the side, shining her gear because there's nothing else for her to do but listen.

[6/4/17, 7:11:06 PM] Janis: "Ok...so you do things for people?  Like...cleaning windows, picking up trash, murdering people they don't like...stuff?"

[6/4/17, 7:12:03 PM] Tamwile: So what exactly are those lights and strange shapes in the void space?

[6/4/17, 7:12:29 PM] Janis: "...uh...void stuff?  I dunno."

[6/4/17, 7:14:12 PM] Valerian: Fred shows up. His appearance has changed a bit over the past few months--he's letting his wings show now, and they're starting to look reasonably healthy again, and he's grown his hair out and his beard; both are quite red. As are his eyes. And barbed tail, which is generally mostly under his white robes. He's wearing a symbol of Pelor carved out of wood, too.

[6/4/17, 7:15:06 PM] Janis: "Hi Fred.  Fred, this is Tamwile.  Don't eat him."

[6/4/17, 7:15:37 PM] Valerian: Fred: I don't eat anyone anymore. Are people still worried about it?

[6/4/17, 7:16:30 PM] Janis: "...uh...no?"

[6/4/17, 7:16:54 PM] Valerian: Fred: Good.

[6/4/17, 7:17:04 PM] Wynn: Wynn smiles at the symbol slightly before returning to shining her own.

[6/4/17, 7:18:10 PM] Janis: "So, Wiley, this is Fred.  He's a demon, but...like...a nice one."

[6/4/17, 7:18:44 PM] Valerian: Fred: I try to be.

[6/4/17, 7:18:59 PM] Tamwile: ... ok, hello Fred.

[6/4/17, 7:19:16 PM] Valerian: Fred: Hello, Wiley.

[6/4/17, 7:19:51 PM] Janis: ((To Fred)) "He came up in the pods.  We're...like...pretty sure he's not evil."

[6/4/17, 7:20:23 PM] Valerian: Fred: He doesn't smell evil.

[6/4/17, 7:21:28 PM] Tamwile: Evil has a smell?

[6/4/17, 7:22:20 PM] Valerian: Fred: Souls do, and they smell different if they're... corrupted, I suppose you might say?

[6/4/17, 7:22:46 PM] Valerian: Fred: You learn to recognize it over a few millennia.

[6/4/17, 7:23:23 PM] Tamwile: ... ok then.

[6/4/17, 7:24:07 PM] Janis: ((We're in the observation deck, or the lounge?))

[6/4/17, 7:24:20 PM] Valerian: ((No idea, you tell me!))

[6/4/17, 7:24:22 PM] Ceiling Cat: Observation deck.

[6/4/17, 7:24:33 PM] Ceiling Cat: Which is technically part of the lounge.

[6/4/17, 7:25:39 PM] Janis: "I'm gonna go find Captain Vel.  I wanna know when he thinks we'll be going again and where he thinks we should go."

[6/4/17, 7:26:10 PM] Ceiling Cat: Nation:  I'm refueling, we're not going anywhere for at least a day. I mean, you could ask me.

[6/4/17, 7:26:30 PM] Janis: "Yeah, but whenever I ask you, you get all huffy and tell me to stop being impatient."

[6/4/17, 7:26:40 PM] Ceiling Cat: Nation:  Well, stop it.

[6/4/17, 7:27:13 PM] Valerian: Quint eyes Janis. "Would you like it if someone watched you eat and kept asking when you'd be done?"

[6/4/17, 7:28:59 PM] Janis: "But I'm bored.  We haven't even started writing down questions, or talked about where we're going next, we didn't even get to check out heaven!  I mean...we were in heaven and we zipped right back here!"

[6/4/17, 7:29:32 PM] Wynn: We've been in a Heaven before.

[6/4/17, 7:29:44 PM] Valerian: Quint: And it's supposed to be something you enjoy after you die.

[6/4/17, 7:29:59 PM] Valerian: Fred: Or, when you're an angel, I suppose.

[6/4/17, 7:30:10 PM] Janis: "I did die.  And I still didn't get to enjoy it."

[6/4/17, 7:30:14 PM] Ceiling Cat: Nation:  Then maybe you should start writing down questions and talking about this stuff rather then interrogating the mysterious newcomer.

[6/4/17, 7:30:39 PM] Ceiling Cat: Nation:  And anyway, the cosmic forces of Good and Chaos were getting ancy with my presence there after we dropped Shol off.

[6/4/17, 7:30:45 PM] Valerian: Quint: That's because you didn't stay dead.

[6/4/17, 7:30:55 PM] Valerian: Quint: Which most people would think a very good thing.

[6/4/17, 7:31:04 PM] Valerian: Fred: What questions?

[6/4/17, 7:31:50 PM] Janis: "Aziz got a magic hat that will summon an angel thing to answer nine questions...well...three angel things, three questions each, but...you know...same dif."

[6/4/17, 7:32:19 PM] Janis: "Also, not really magic, I guess.  Divine hat."

[6/4/17, 7:32:55 PM] Valerian: Fred: Divine magic is still magic. ... I'm learning some.

[6/4/17, 7:33:29 PM] Janis: "Cool!  Are you a paladin, now?"

[6/4/17, 7:33:49 PM] Valerian: Fred: No. I serve Pelor, though. ... as best I can.

[6/4/17, 7:34:52 PM] Wynn: Pelor is a forgiving god. I'm sure he's happy to have you.

[6/4/17, 7:36:26 PM] Valerian: Fred: It seems so. He listens to me, at least.

[6/4/17, 7:40:22 PM] Janis: "Anyway, so, we've been talking about figuring out our questions so that they are just right and we can find the evil demon guy who built Nation and get uncursed."

[6/4/17, 7:40:56 PM] Ceiling Cat: Nation:  I was NOT built by an evil demon guy.

[6/4/17, 7:40:58 PM] Valerian: Quint: Val had a question.

[6/4/17, 7:41:02 PM] Valerian: Fred: Who built you?

[6/4/17, 7:41:10 PM] Ceiling Cat: Nation appears and looks sternly at Janis.

[6/4/17, 7:41:41 PM] Ceiling Cat: Nation:  The Pod Room was commissioned by a Yugoloth named Kizzek.

[6/4/17, 7:42:01 PM] Ceiling Cat: Nation:  I was built in Solitaire. I'm not sure by who -- I wasn't conscious when I was launched.

[6/4/17, 7:42:57 PM] Janis: "...sorry...my bad."

[6/4/17, 7:43:03 PM] Valerian: Quint: Probably not demons.

[6/4/17, 7:44:14 PM] Ceiling Cat: Nation's avatar vanishes.

[6/4/17, 7:44:48 PM] Wynn: My advice... don't piss off the ship.

[6/4/17, 7:44:56 PM] Valerian: Fred: He's cranky.

[6/4/17, 7:46:27 PM] Ceiling Cat: Gnarmak, the gnoll dentist, who has been reading quietly at the corner, speaks up. "What was Val's question?"

[6/4/17, 7:46:31 PM] Valerian: Quint: She did insult his parents.

[6/4/17, 7:46:35 PM] Valerian: Quint: It was personal.

[6/4/17, 7:47:20 PM] Janis: "I also want one...at least one...could I have more than one, or is that selfish?"

[6/4/17, 7:47:57 PM] Valerian: Quint: I don't think it's selfish, but we do need to use as many as we have to deal with the curse.

[6/4/17, 7:48:08 PM] Valerian: Quint: Or at least, prioritize those.

[6/4/17, 7:48:14 PM] Janis: "Right, yeah, cool."

[6/4/17, 7:49:05 PM] Wynn: And if there are more people with questions than questions remaining, we may need to find a way to prioritize those too, whether it's a judgment or a lottery.

[6/4/17, 7:49:34 PM] Janis: "...except we can't judge it unless we all know what they are."

[6/4/17, 7:49:45 PM] Wynn: Yes?

[6/4/17, 7:50:50 PM] Tamwile: Not if you did a lottery system, which would be your best attempt at impartiality.

[6/4/17, 7:50:55 PM] Valerian: Quint: Indeed.

[6/4/17, 7:51:35 PM] Wynn: Who says it should be impartial? Surely there are some with more important and pressing questions than others.

[6/4/17, 7:52:06 PM] Wynn: It won't matter if there are enough left over though. Do we have any idea how to find answers with yes and no questions?

[6/4/17, 7:53:10 PM] Tamwile: You would need as much information as possible about what you were asking.

[6/4/17, 7:53:26 PM] Valerian: Quint: We need to find out where to go, but doing that with yes and no...

[6/4/17, 7:54:52 PM] Janis: "Do we really need yes or no?  We're not dealing with genies or imps or something.  If we pick right, we can still get servants of good guys who want us to get where we're going."

[6/4/17, 7:55:10 PM] Wynn: Wasn't that the terminology given to us?

[6/4/17, 7:55:16 PM] Tamwile: So you want to ask a question in such a way that either answer is useful.

[6/4/17, 7:57:27 PM] Ceiling Cat: Gnarmak:  The Commune spell only answers questions with 'yes' or 'no'.

[6/4/17, 7:57:52 PM] Wynn: Aziz said it casts commune. That means we have one minute to ask three questions that can be answered by yes or no.

[6/4/17, 7:58:12 PM] Janis: "...ok...so...yeah..."

[6/4/17, 7:59:38 PM] Tamwile: So it would work more as confirming or denying information than actually discovering new information.

[6/4/17, 8:00:01 PM] Wynn: But we don't know where to start.

[6/4/17, 8:01:53 PM] Tamwile: You have a name apparently, this  Kizzek.

[6/4/17, 8:02:35 PM] Nilani: This message has been removed.

[6/4/17, 8:02:37 PM] Janis: "But we don't know enough about Kizzek to even know what to ask.  Just that he has something to do with the pod room."

[6/4/17, 8:03:18 PM] Wynn: Puzzles make my head hurt.

[6/4/17, 8:03:49 PM] Tamwile: So find out more about Kizzek and you will get a better idea of what to ask.

[6/4/17, 8:04:50 PM] Wynn: Ok.... and how do we do that? We have no idea where he's from. What plane he was on. There's probably an infinite number of Yugoloths with that name in the multiverse.

[6/4/17, 8:05:18 PM] Valerian: Quint: Do we really need to know anything beyond what to do?

[6/4/17, 8:05:34 PM] Janis: "We have two more locations."

[6/4/17, 8:05:41 PM] Janis: "Maybe we see what we find there first."

[6/4/17, 8:07:52 PM] Ceiling Cat: Nation:  Jushani and Tavan. Abandoned Yugoloth colony, and a world constantly under siege by the Far Realms.

[6/4/17, 8:08:00 PM] Ceiling Cat: Everyone roll perception.

[6/4/17, 8:08:20 PM] Wynn: ((17))

[6/4/17, 8:08:28 PM] Janis: ((NATURAL 20!))

[6/4/17, 8:08:33 PM] Janis: (((27 total))

[6/4/17, 8:08:39 PM] Tamwile: ((23 ))

[6/4/17, 8:11:34 PM] Ceiling Cat: 15 or higher, you spot something off in the distance of the void blink into existence.

[6/4/17, 8:11:51 PM] Janis: Janis points at it. "What's that?"

[6/4/17, 8:12:38 PM] Wynn: Nothing good, I'm sure.

[6/4/17, 8:12:46 PM] Valerian: Quint peers. "I can't see anything."

[6/4/17, 8:15:02 PM] Ceiling Cat: The observation window magnifies it. Nation's avatar peers at it. I can't tell--"  The image gets zoomed in so everyone can see it -- it's another ship, a black needle with great fins coming off it like a shark.  The fins move, reacting to some invisible eddy.  The black needle has windows or something along the sides, pinpricks of red light.

[6/4/17, 8:16:46 PM] Janis: "...that does not look like a good guy ship."

[6/4/17, 8:17:03 PM] Valerian: Quint: Let me guess, it's named "The Mephisto" or "The Tyranny."

[6/4/17, 8:17:18 PM] Ceiling Cat: Nation's avatar goes stiff, and if it were possible, you'd swear he would pale. Then he vanishes.

[6/4/17, 8:17:28 PM] Valerian: Fred: Or Albert. Nothing good ever comes from an Albert.

[6/4/17, 8:17:48 PM] Janis: "...Nation?"

[6/4/17, 8:18:26 PM] Wynn: That's definitely not good.

[6/4/17, 8:18:33 PM] Ceiling Cat: The other ship glides quietly toward Nation before launching a ball of sickly greenish energy.

[6/4/17, 8:18:50 PM] Ceiling Cat: Nation:  Get ready to fight, now.

[6/4/17, 8:19:12 PM] Janis: Janis gets low to the ground, bracing for impact.

[6/4/17, 8:19:13 PM] Wynn: ...have time to get into my good armor, or like now now?

[6/4/17, 8:19:14 PM] Valerian: Fred: ... I'll fetch the others.

[6/4/17, 8:19:21 PM] Valerian: Quint draws his sword.

[6/4/17, 8:19:39 PM] Ceiling Cat: Nation:  We have a minute or so, probably. Be ready.

[6/4/17, 8:20:01 PM] Wynn: Wynn puts her shield on her arm and draws her mace. "Where?"

[6/4/17, 8:20:03 PM] Ceiling Cat: The projectile slams against Nation. Everyone roll Dex.

[6/4/17, 8:20:07 PM] Ceiling Cat: Dex saves, I mean.

[6/4/17, 8:20:14 PM] Wynn: (12)

[6/4/17, 8:20:43 PM] Tamwile: (( 24 ))

[6/4/17, 8:20:43 PM] Janis: ((13...I miss my ranger stats))

[6/4/17, 8:21:06 PM] Ceiling Cat: You guys manage to keep your footing as Nation shakes around you violently, his shielding spells absorbing most of the blasts.

[6/4/17, 8:22:10 PM] Ceiling Cat: Nation:  I have no idea. Last time they came through the portals, but I'm sure he's upgraded since then.

[6/4/17, 8:22:44 PM] Janis: Janis draws her sword and heads down

[6/4/17, 8:23:37 PM] Ceiling Cat: Nation shakes a few more times. Where are you guys going?

[6/4/17, 8:23:56 PM] Wynn: Wynn heads to the portals Good a guess as any.

[6/4/17, 8:24:14 PM] Janis: Janis will follow Wynn there.

[6/4/17, 8:26:01 PM] Valerian: Quint does too!

[6/4/17, 8:26:20 PM] Valerian: Quint: Who is attacking us?

[6/4/17, 8:26:31 PM] Tamwile: Tamwile will follow everyone else.

[6/4/17, 8:28:20 PM] Ceiling Cat: The ship shakes again as you head out into the hallway, and three figures just materialize in front of your group. They look humanoid but they look... wrong. Like they're just a mishmash of different creatures. In front, there's a huge human who seems to have a large scaly clawed armor in place of his normal arm. There are two other similar beings on either side of him, more mishmashes of humanoid beings. Everyone roll initiative.

[6/4/17, 8:29:25 PM] Janis: ((6))

[6/4/17, 8:30:03 PM] Tamwile: ((10 ))

[6/4/17, 8:30:29 PM] Wynn: (16)

[6/4/17, 8:31:44 PM] Ceiling Cat: Wynn is first. The big one with the claw arm is winding up to swing at you, Wynn, but you act first.

[6/4/17, 8:33:02 PM] Wynn: Wynn isn't even giving him the chance. Will close the distance if necessary then smite him. ((25 attack, 12 radiant damage 6 bludgeoning for total 18, not critical... and this is assuming he's not a fiend))

[6/4/17, 8:34:26 PM] Ceiling Cat: Does that have any extra effect on undead?

[6/4/17, 8:34:39 PM] Wynn: ((Why yes it does!))

[6/4/17, 8:34:48 PM] Wynn: ((an extra 5 damage))

[6/4/17, 8:35:46 PM] Ceiling Cat: So Wynn just smites the hell out of the guy in front, who is armored. Or at least parts of his mishmash of body parts are armored.

[6/4/17, 8:36:48 PM] Ceiling Cat: She strikes him hard, and radiant energy flares out.

[6/4/17, 8:38:08 PM] Ceiling Cat: Nilani wanders out of the kitchen and walks into this whole... mess.

[6/4/17, 8:38:13 PM] Ceiling Cat: She's actually next.

[6/4/17, 8:39:22 PM] Ceiling Cat: You see these horrible mishmashed people attacking your friends.

[6/4/17, 8:42:16 PM] Nilani: [Where are they all oriented? I'm considering casting Tidal wave to try and sweep them off their feet, but that might not be a good option.]

[6/4/17, 8:42:42 PM] Ceiling Cat: You would have a hard time not getting your friends too.

[6/4/17, 8:44:35 PM] Ceiling Cat: Nilani?

[6/4/17, 8:45:14 PM] Nilani: [sorry, I need to get organized.]

[6/4/17, 8:45:48 PM] Nilani: Nilani will cast Flaming Sphere, and have it appear in the closest one's space.

[6/4/17, 8:46:33 PM] Ceiling Cat: Okay, that would be the one to the right of the big one, a little squirrely fella who's mostly obscured with ragged robes. What's the save on that?

[6/4/17, 8:46:55 PM] Nilani: [15]

[6/4/17, 8:47:34 PM] Ceiling Cat: He actually succeeds.

[6/4/17, 8:48:18 PM] Ceiling Cat: What's the damage on a save?

[6/4/17, 8:48:24 PM] Nilani: [3]

[6/4/17, 8:48:33 PM] Ceiling Cat: Okay.

[6/4/17, 8:50:05 PM] Ceiling Cat: The big one swings his claw at Wynn, raking her side for 10 damage. Does wynn have any special immunites or anything to Poison?

[6/4/17, 8:51:50 PM] Ceiling Cat: Wynn?

[6/4/17, 8:52:24 PM] Wynn: sorry. no

[6/4/17, 8:52:47 PM] Ceiling Cat: You also take 2 pts of poison damage as the wound burns a bit.

[6/4/17, 8:54:04 PM] Ceiling Cat: The squirrely one that got singed by Nilani raises his hands and you notice that one of his hands is a tentacle from some other creature, and it casts a spell, vanishing.

[6/4/17, 8:55:11 PM] Ceiling Cat: THe third figure on the other side of the big one, a female? Humanoid with a snake head that probably isn't hers, moves in to stab at Wynn while she's distracted with her friend. She drives a dagger into Wynn's side, doing 5 damage.

[6/4/17, 8:55:25 PM] Ceiling Cat: Tamwile.

[6/4/17, 8:57:17 PM] Tamwile: Tamwile will move in to do a rapier strike on the snake headed one.

[6/4/17, 8:57:46 PM] Ceiling Cat: Okay. A 12 misses, unfortunately.

[6/4/17, 8:58:06 PM] Tamwile: (( do I still have movement?))

[6/4/17, 8:58:23 PM] Ceiling Cat: Yeah, probably like 20 feet.

[6/4/17, 8:59:08 PM] Tamwile: Disengage for my bonus and go back 10 feet.

[6/4/17, 8:59:20 PM] Ceiling Cat: Alrighty.

[6/4/17, 8:59:23 PM] Ceiling Cat: Quint?

[6/4/17, 8:59:40 PM] Janis: ((I don't go before Quint?))

[6/4/17, 8:59:51 PM] Ceiling Cat: You guys got the same roll.

[6/4/17, 9:00:05 PM] Ceiling Cat: I was just going in the order I wrote it down in.

[6/4/17, 9:00:10 PM] Janis: (( ok ))

[6/4/17, 9:01:07 PM] Ceiling Cat: Quint?

[6/4/17, 9:01:17 PM] Valerian: Valerian casts Greater Invisibility on Tamwile.

[6/4/17, 9:01:31 PM] Ceiling Cat: I assume you move over to touch him to cast it?

[6/4/17, 9:01:53 PM] Valerian: Valerian does, yes. He'll also try a Vicious Mockery on ... the raggediest one.

[6/4/17, 9:02:02 PM] Janis: ((If he backed up, wouldn't he be right next to Quint, again?))

[6/4/17, 9:02:20 PM] Ceiling Cat: I assumed he moved away from the clump of you.

[6/4/17, 9:02:30 PM] Valerian: ((Wisdom save, DC 15.))

[6/4/17, 9:03:07 PM] Ceiling Cat: Greater Invis is your action.

[6/4/17, 9:04:20 PM] Ceiling Cat: You still have a bonus action, though, so you could give someone Inspiration, or do a Healing Word, which is a bonus action.

[6/4/17, 9:04:53 PM] Valerian: ((Oh, I thought cantrips were all bonus actions.))

[6/4/17, 9:05:03 PM] Valerian: ((Okay, inspiration I guess, on um... Tamwile.))

[6/4/17, 9:05:21 PM] Ceiling Cat: Some of them are, but the attack ones all take one action.

[6/4/17, 9:05:57 PM] Ceiling Cat: Okay, Tamwile gets a d8 Inspiration die.

[6/4/17, 9:06:01 PM] Valerian: ((Wily gets.. yes.))

[6/4/17, 9:06:08 PM] Ceiling Cat: Janis?

[6/4/17, 9:06:32 PM] Janis: ((How close together are the bad guys?))

[6/4/17, 9:06:57 PM] Ceiling Cat: They're close, all standing in a row.

[6/4/17, 9:07:13 PM] Ceiling Cat: Though the robed one is invisible.

[6/4/17, 9:07:18 PM] Ceiling Cat: So you don't know where he is.

[6/4/17, 9:07:43 PM] Janis: ((Ah...ok...then...))

[6/4/17, 9:08:22 PM] Janis: Janis says "If you guys aren't evil, I'm sorry" and casts Moonbeam so that it catches Claw Guy and Snake Lady without catching Wynn.

[6/4/17, 9:08:37 PM] Ceiling Cat: Alrighty.

[6/4/17, 9:08:40 PM] Janis: They need to make Con saves.

[6/4/17, 9:08:56 PM] Ceiling Cat: They both fail.

[6/4/17, 9:09:46 PM] Janis: ((They each take ten points of damage and if they were shapechangers, they revert to their original form))

[6/4/17, 9:10:01 PM] Ceiling Cat: They are apparently not shapechangers.

[6/4/17, 9:10:25 PM] Janis: ((The beam stays and they need to make the save or take damage every turn they are in it))

[6/4/17, 9:10:29 PM] Ceiling Cat: You guys start to hear the sounds of fighting from either way down the hallway -- you're apparently not the only ones getting attacked.

[6/4/17, 9:10:56 PM] Ceiling Cat: BAck to the top, Nilani, you're up.

[6/4/17, 9:11:09 PM] Wynn: ?

[6/4/17, 9:11:17 PM] Wynn: ((nm))

[6/4/17, 9:11:19 PM] Ceiling Cat: Nilani rolled higher than you.

[6/4/17, 9:11:27 PM] Ceiling Cat: But you are next, so get ready.

[6/4/17, 9:11:53 PM] Janis: ((Shit, wait))

[6/4/17, 9:12:03 PM] Janis: ((Can I do a bonus action quick before Nilani goes?))

[6/4/17, 9:12:06 PM] Janis: ((Sorry))

[6/4/17, 9:12:08 PM] Ceiling Cat: YEah.

[6/4/17, 9:12:48 PM] Janis: ((...nvm...that spell is an action...carry on))

[6/4/17, 9:12:55 PM] Janis: ((sorry, new class))

[6/4/17, 9:14:01 PM] Nilani: Nilani casts Ice Knife at a space close to the Weirds, but further than 5' from any of us, preferably one of the Weirds also occupies that space, but if not that's fine.

[6/4/17, 9:14:52 PM] Ceiling Cat: You can't get them directly, since they're both engaged with Wynn, but you can place it so that it impacts the two visible ones.

[6/4/17, 9:16:11 PM] Nilani: [Arright. I rolled 13 to hit the floor.]

[6/4/17, 9:16:29 PM] Ceiling Cat: You hit the floor.

[6/4/17, 9:16:47 PM] Nilani: [the two need to make a dex save vs 15]

[6/4/17, 9:17:04 PM] Ceiling Cat: The big one makes it, the snaky one doesn't.

[6/4/17, 9:17:40 PM] Nilani: [Snake-o takes 9 damage, Tiny is fine.]

[6/4/17, 9:18:20 PM] Ceiling Cat: Okay! Wynn, you're up.

[6/4/17, 9:18:45 PM] Wynn: ((how hurt does the claw guy look?))

[6/4/17, 9:20:01 PM] Ceiling Cat: Pretty bad. The seams between his various parts are looking ragged.

[6/4/17, 9:20:57 PM] Wynn: Wynn will use her bonus action to cast Hunter's Mark on it, then give the old 1-2 with her mace and shield. ((Nat 1 on the mace, 18 attack 6 damage on the shield))

[6/4/17, 9:21:13 PM] Ceiling Cat: The shield hits!

[6/4/17, 9:21:42 PM] Wynn: ((end turn))

[6/4/17, 9:21:51 PM] Janis: ((Hunters Mark damage))

[6/4/17, 9:22:02 PM] Wynn: ((that was.....oh. nm))

[6/4/17, 9:22:16 PM] Wynn: ((2))

[6/4/17, 9:22:42 PM] Ceiling Cat: Okay, their turn. Tamwile, you're on deck, so get ready.

[6/4/17, 9:22:57 PM] Janis: ((First, they need to make a save!))

[6/4/17, 9:23:32 PM] Ceiling Cat: Oh, that's right. Claw guy makes his save.

[6/4/17, 9:23:41 PM] Ceiling Cat: Snakey does also.

[6/4/17, 9:23:51 PM] Janis: then that's only 3, I think.

[6/4/17, 9:25:45 PM] Janis: (("When a creature enters the spell's area for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there, it is engulfed in ghostly flames that cause searing pain, and it must make a Constitution saving throw. It takes 2d10 radiant damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one." This is what the book says.))

[6/4/17, 9:26:14 PM] Ceiling Cat: The claw guy swings at Wynn, but misses. Him literally falling apart at the seams seems to be taking a toll. Snakey stabs at Wynn, though, doing 11 damage.

[6/4/17, 9:28:38 PM] Ceiling Cat: Janis, you take 9 damage from.... somewhere, as inviso-guy blasts you with magic missles. I believe you have to make a concentration check.

[6/4/17, 9:28:58 PM] Janis: ((That's a CON save, right?))

[6/4/17, 9:29:04 PM] Ceiling Cat: Yes.

[6/4/17, 9:29:18 PM] Ceiling Cat: You make it.

[6/4/17, 9:29:19 PM] Janis: ((18))

[6/4/17, 9:29:23 PM] Janis: ((Woot))

[6/4/17, 9:30:27 PM] Ceiling Cat: Tamwile.

[6/4/17, 9:31:06 PM] Ceiling Cat: Quint, you're up next, so get ready.

[6/4/17, 9:31:27 PM] Tamwile: Tamwile will move up and attack the snake headed one.

[6/4/17, 9:31:47 PM] Ceiling Cat: Okay. That is a sneak attack, since you are Greater Invisibled.

[6/4/17, 9:32:14 PM] Tamwile: (( 16 extra damage from sneak attack.))

[6/4/17, 9:33:15 PM] Ceiling Cat: Wynn, the snakey one who kept stabbing you suddenly has a rapier blade emerge from her chest, and just kind of.... falls apart, into all her various pieces on the floor in front of you.

[6/4/17, 9:33:53 PM] Ceiling Cat: Quint.

[6/4/17, 9:34:26 PM] Valerian: Valerian uses Major Image to create the image of a black dragon barreling down the hallway.

[6/4/17, 9:36:34 PM] Ceiling Cat: Suddenly, you guys see Martivir, or someone that looks like her, fully dragooned out and roaring down the hallway. Do you want to inspire or healing word someone as a bonus, Quint?

[6/4/17, 9:37:13 PM] Valerian: Valerian will inspire um... Tamwile didn't use his, did he? Wynn, then.

[6/4/17, 9:37:33 PM] Ceiling Cat: Okey dokey, Wynn gets a d8 to use when she needs it.

[6/4/17, 9:37:37 PM] Ceiling Cat: Janis!

[6/4/17, 9:38:18 PM] Janis: Janis would like to first use a bonus action to turn into a direwolf.

[6/4/17, 9:38:32 PM] Ceiling Cat: Janis becomes wolf.

[6/4/17, 9:38:47 PM] Janis: Janis would like to try and use her wolf sense to smell out robe guy.

[6/4/17, 9:39:14 PM] Janis: ((Also, beastshaping doesn't disrupt concentration, so Moonbeam is still up))

[6/4/17, 9:39:16 PM] Ceiling Cat: Give me a perception check, with advantage.

[6/4/17, 9:39:34 PM] Janis: ((19))

[6/4/17, 9:40:11 PM] Ceiling Cat: It's not hard, as you're just starting to sniff him out when you see something invisible barrel into the big claw guy ungracefully, as he is running from a black dragon coming down the hallway.

[6/4/17, 9:40:21 PM] Ceiling Cat: So he's now in the moonbeam, too.

[6/4/17, 9:40:30 PM] Janis: ((HA!))

[6/4/17, 9:40:39 PM] Janis: ((Did that use up my action too?))

[6/4/17, 9:40:54 PM] Ceiling Cat: Searching? YEah, I'm gonna say so.

[6/4/17, 9:41:22 PM] Janis: Janis will use movement to run up to the edge of the moonbeam, just in case

[6/4/17, 9:41:31 PM] Ceiling Cat: kk.

[6/4/17, 9:41:33 PM] Janis: Janis stays a direwolf

[6/4/17, 9:41:34 PM] Ceiling Cat: Nilani?

[6/4/17, 9:43:26 PM] Nilani: Nilani will launch another Ice Knife at the space behind clawguy.

[6/4/17, 9:43:51 PM] Ceiling Cat: You critically hit the floor.

[6/4/17, 9:45:22 PM] Nilani: Nilani makes a mental note to apologize to Nation later. [6 dmg, none if they make their saves.]

[6/4/17, 9:45:46 PM] Ceiling Cat: Claw guy makes his save, inviso guy does not. Wynn?

[6/4/17, 9:46:22 PM] Wynn: Wynn tries this again with the mace/shield/hunter's mark combo. ((18 and 15 attacks?))

[6/4/17, 9:46:29 PM] Ceiling Cat: Those both hit.

[6/4/17, 9:46:31 PM] Wynn: ((10 and 9 damage))

[6/4/17, 9:47:50 PM] Ceiling Cat: The invisible guy becomes visible with Nilani's spell, by the way. Wynn hits the hell out of claw guy, and he goes down, parts once again coming undone and landing wetly on the deck.

[6/4/17, 9:52:13 PM] Ceiling Cat: IT's just the casty one left. He looks around, and looks back at the black dragon coming at him. He's standing right in front of Wynn, and casts a fireball at her. Who is within twenty feet of Wynn?

[6/4/17, 9:52:34 PM] Janis: Janis is

[6/4/17, 9:52:43 PM] Tamwile: Tamwile is

[6/4/17, 9:53:06 PM] Wynn: ((If you're within 10' of me you get a +4 to your saves))

[6/4/17, 9:53:09 PM] Nilani: Nilani likely is, unless the party is more than 20 ft from the door to the galley.

[6/4/17, 9:53:38 PM] Wynn: ((does it only target me? for the sake of the Shield Master feat?))

[6/4/17, 9:53:52 PM] Ceiling Cat: No, it's an area effect.

[6/4/17, 9:54:18 PM] Valerian: ((I don't think I am. I don't know, though.))

[6/4/17, 9:55:07 PM] Ceiling Cat: No, you're on the outer edge of that, since you went to Tamwile to INvis him. Everyone else, roll Dex saving throws. Wynn and Tam, you still have inspiration, to use on the roll if you need it.

[6/4/17, 9:55:26 PM] Wynn: ((NINJA TANK 22))

[6/4/17, 9:55:43 PM] Nilani: [6. BLECHM.]

[6/4/17, 9:56:07 PM] Janis: ((5))

[6/4/17, 9:56:14 PM] Tamwile: (( 21 and I will also use evasion so no damage on a success))

[6/4/17, 9:56:49 PM] Ceiling Cat: 34 damage, 17 if you made your save.

[6/4/17, 9:57:09 PM] Ceiling Cat: It's worth noting that he destroyed himself.

[6/4/17, 9:57:20 PM] Janis: ((Good news, I am still a wolf...bad news, no more moonbeam))

[6/4/17, 9:57:51 PM] Wynn: Wynn grunts.

[6/4/17, 9:58:02 PM] Ceiling Cat: End combat.

[6/4/17, 9:58:16 PM] Ceiling Cat: Nation's voice:  DID SOMETHING BLOW UP?

[6/4/17, 9:58:26 PM] Valerian: Valerian allows the dragon to vanish and listens for other combat sounds.

[6/4/17, 9:58:31 PM] Janis: Janis morphs back "One of the bad guys"

[6/4/17, 9:58:35 PM] Wynn: Yeah. Me.

[6/4/17, 9:58:41 PM] Nilani: Well, you certainly couldn't call it someONE.

[6/4/17, 9:58:54 PM] Wynn: Who's injured?

[6/4/17, 9:59:05 PM] Ceiling Cat: There's still combat going on, you hear fighting sounds and spell effects from elsewhere on the ship.

[6/4/17, 9:59:16 PM] Nilani: Nilani is very nearly baconed.

[6/4/17, 9:59:18 PM] Ceiling Cat: Nation:  Hold on to something, I'm jumping now.

[6/4/17, 9:59:19 PM] Valerian: Valerian runs toward the fighting.

[6/4/17, 9:59:42 PM] Nilani: Nilani grabs the edge of the doorframe and sits on the floor.

[6/4/17, 9:59:48 PM] Wynn: Wynn casts Cure Wounds on Nilani then follows Quint. ((8hp))

[6/4/17, 9:59:53 PM] Janis: "Uh...I think I'm good, actually."

[6/4/17, 10:00:04 PM] Tamwile: Tamwile will follow Wynn.

[6/4/17, 10:00:15 PM] Janis: "A little bruised but...surprisingly fine."

[6/4/17, 10:00:20 PM] Wynn: Wynn is smoking as we go.

[6/4/17, 10:00:25 PM] Janis: "Hey!  Wait for me!"

[6/4/17, 10:00:33 PM] Janis: Janis chases after them

[6/4/17, 10:00:52 PM] Ceiling Cat: Quint, you go down the hall, and you find Iskandar using the best of all element to cook amonster, while Tarak has just finished bisecting one with a giant sword. Everyone gimve me a dex save.

[6/4/17, 10:01:13 PM] Wynn: ((16))

[6/4/17, 10:01:18 PM] Janis: ((18))

[6/4/17, 10:01:29 PM] Tamwile: (( 27 ))

[6/4/17, 10:01:40 PM] Nilani: [23]

[6/4/17, 10:02:42 PM] Ceiling Cat: You guys do pretty good! The ship around you shudders and trembles as Nation JUMPS. There's a moment of disorientation during the jump, and all of a sudden the floor of the hallway becomes the ceiling. Everything is upside down.

[6/4/17, 10:02:57 PM] Ceiling Cat: You guys all manage to avoid major wounds, though.

[6/4/17, 10:03:10 PM] Janis: "...Nation?  Are you ok?"

[6/4/17, 10:03:11 PM] Ceiling Cat: The sounds of combat stop.

[6/4/17, 10:03:27 PM] Ceiling Cat: Nation:  Yeah... sorry. Jumped kind of blind.

[6/4/17, 10:03:43 PM] Ceiling Cat: Nation:  That usually severs the connection with his crew.

[6/4/17, 10:03:53 PM] Valerian: Connection?

[6/4/17, 10:03:54 PM] Wynn: Wynn takes a moment to catch her breath before standing. "...so that can still happen."

[6/4/17, 10:04:05 PM] Tamwile: What was that?

[6/4/17, 10:04:17 PM] Janis: "...his?"

[6/4/17, 10:04:18 PM] Ceiling Cat: Nation:  It wasn't Vink, I can tell you that.

[6/4/17, 10:04:41 PM] Ceiling Cat: Nation:  .... so, I've been flying around the multiverse for a thousand years.

[6/4/17, 10:04:43 PM] Valerian: We'd've recognized Vink.

[6/4/17, 10:04:55 PM] Valerian: That was a dimensional jump, Wily.

[6/4/17, 10:05:46 PM] Ceiling Cat: Nation:  That was... well. I guess you could call him a dark reflection.

[6/4/17, 10:05:53 PM] Valerian: Of what?

[6/4/17, 10:05:57 PM] Ceiling Cat: Nation:  Me.

[6/4/17, 10:06:04 PM] Ceiling Cat: Nation:  Calls himself Empire.

[6/4/17, 10:06:24 PM] Valerian: ... An actual evil twin?

[6/4/17, 10:06:38 PM] Ceiling Cat: Nation:  Something like that.

[6/4/17, 10:06:54 PM] Ceiling Cat: Nation:  He's a necromancer.

[6/4/17, 10:06:59 PM] Ceiling Cat: Nation:  You just fought his crew.

[6/4/17, 10:07:13 PM] Janis: "What's he have against you?"

[6/4/17, 10:07:48 PM] Ceiling Cat: Nation:  He wants you.

[6/4/17, 10:08:07 PM] Ceiling Cat: Nation:  He wants to take my crew, and make them his own.

[6/4/17, 10:08:22 PM] Valerian: Meaning... pieces put together badly.

[6/4/17, 10:08:48 PM] Ceiling Cat: Nation:  ... I thought he was destroyed centuries ago. I saw his wreck.

[6/4/17, 10:08:58 PM] Wynn: Well we can't have that.

[6/4/17, 10:09:01 PM] Janis: "Why does everybody want to kill us or eat us or capture us?"

[6/4/17, 10:09:04 PM] Wynn: Wynn grimaces.

[6/4/17, 10:09:22 PM] Wynn: Wynn heals herself a little... enough to at least stop the major bleeding.

[6/4/17, 10:09:25 PM] Valerian: Maybe he's undead too.

[6/4/17, 10:09:32 PM] Janis: "...uh...you said he was a necromancer, right?  What if he...went up to Lich?"

[6/4/17, 10:09:41 PM] Ceiling Cat: Nation:  IT's the only thing that makes sense.

[6/4/17, 10:09:56 PM] Valerian: Are you all right?

[6/4/17, 10:10:34 PM] Ceiling Cat: You guys go around, doing a circuit. You find Captain Vel surrounded by a few bodies, the hallway around him frosted over with ice. You find Allys, who's able to help with the healing.

[6/4/17, 10:10:42 PM] Ceiling Cat: Nation:  Minimal damage.

[6/4/17, 10:10:57 PM] Ceiling Cat: Nation:  I've improved my warding since the last time we tangled, so.

[6/4/17, 10:11:13 PM] Janis: Janis looks for Mal

[6/4/17, 10:11:15 PM] Valerian: Good.

[6/4/17, 10:12:05 PM] Ceiling Cat: Fred also helps with the healing, though he understands if people are reluctant.

[6/4/17, 10:13:18 PM] Wynn: Wynn will accept it from any source. She was down to 20/67.

[6/4/17, 10:13:45 PM] Valerian: Valerian heals Wynn too, a bit.

[6/4/17, 10:14:04 PM] Ceiling Cat: And there we shall stop for the evening. :)
