PBA 055

[3/20/2015 4:15:16 PM] Canto: You guys are sitting around! Figuring out your new gifts, probably.

[3/20/2015 4:15:58 PM] Nilani: ...I have this weird urge to write things.

[3/20/2015 4:17:26 PM] Janis: .....I feel pretty much the same. Talking to animals can be cool.

[3/20/2015 4:18:32 PM] Valerian: Valerian is reading. Still looks tired.

[3/20/2015 4:18:54 PM] Valerian: Valerian apparently didn't have enough of a nap.

[3/20/2015 4:19:39 PM] Wynn: Wynn comes in with shield and book and takes a seat too!

[3/20/2015 4:20:02 PM] Canto: So it's just the four of you, hanging out. Reading. Book club.

[3/20/2015 4:20:47 PM] Janis: So...the science guy. We should probably tell him he has protection from the Utlan Tari now.

[3/20/2015 4:21:05 PM] Janis: Make sure he gets there ok and we get what we need.

[3/20/2015 4:22:33 PM] Valerian: Or send a message, at least.

[3/20/2015 4:22:33 PM] Canto: Vel has said he'd take care of it.

[3/20/2015 4:22:49 PM] Canto: You're just waiting to hear back at this point.

[3/20/2015 4:22:52 PM] Wynn: ...Nilani, are you feeling ok?

[3/20/2015 4:23:38 PM] Nilani: Yeah.

[3/20/2015 4:23:41 PM] Nilani: Why?

[3/20/2015 4:24:02 PM] Nilani: Do I have a weird thing on my face that I can't see?

[3/20/2015 4:24:17 PM] Wynn: ...a weird thing only I can see.

[3/20/2015 4:24:36 PM] Janis: ........Nilani's evil?

[3/20/2015 4:24:51 PM] Valerian: She's not evil.

[3/20/2015 4:24:51 PM] Nilani: Oh, just great.

[3/20/2015 4:25:01 PM | Edited 4:25:13 PM] Nilani: Oh!

[3/20/2015 4:25:04 PM] Nilani: Okay.

[3/20/2015 4:25:10 PM] Janis: ...what?

[3/20/2015 4:25:12 PM] Wynn: Wynn raises an eyebrow.

[3/20/2015 4:25:20 PM] Janis: .......what?!?

[3/20/2015 4:25:28 PM] Valerian: Somebody doesn't just suddenly become evil, that doesn't make any sense.

[3/20/2015 4:25:30 PM] Nilani: What, apparently I'm not evil.

[3/20/2015 4:25:41 PM] Nilani: That's a good thing, right?

[3/20/2015 4:25:44 PM] Valerian: If she's exuding some sort of a negative energy aura we should probably find out why, though.

[3/20/2015 4:26:19 PM] Wynn: It's a bit odd. Not very strong and not... it's hard to describe.

[3/20/2015 4:26:40 PM] Wynn: Are you carrying anything new?

[3/20/2015 4:26:47 PM] Janis: It might be a part of the god stuff you got. A lot of us seem to have changed around a bit.

[3/20/2015 4:28:18 PM] Canto: Nation's Voice:  Okay! I have good news. My navigation systems are now operating at 20%.

[3/20/2015 4:28:37 PM] Janis: Cool...is that cool?

[3/20/2015 4:29:07 PM] *** Group call ***

[3/20/2015 4:29:28 PM] Canto: Nation's Voice:  I was at 0% before.

[3/20/2015 4:29:56 PM] Valerian: Congratulations on the improvement. Hopefully it will continue.

[3/20/2015 4:30:37 PM] Canto: Nation's Voice:  Well, fuctionality wise, it means that I should be able to return to any plane we've already been since you guys recovered the bridge.

[3/20/2015 4:31:04 PM] Janis: How many are those?

[3/20/2015 4:32:03 PM] Wynn: Wynn is still looking at Nilani.

[3/20/2015 4:33:04 PM] Canto: Nation's Voice:  Only three planes. But it's a start.

[3/20/2015 4:34:09 PM] Canto: Everyone roll a d4, please.

[3/20/2015 4:34:10 PM] Wynn: At the very least, it means we'll be able to come back here if we need to.

[3/20/2015 4:34:24 PM] Janis: ((3))

[3/20/2015 4:34:33 PM] Wynn: ((2))

[3/20/2015 4:34:58 PM] Janis: This place seems nice, especially now that the evil dragon lady is trapped in the future.

[3/20/2015 4:35:35 PM] Valerian: ((4))

[3/20/2015 4:35:38 PM] Valerian: ((Sorry!))

[3/20/2015 4:36:06 PM] Nilani: (( 1 ))

[3/20/2015 4:37:12 PM] Canto: So you guys are sitting there, chatting, and Val vanishes.

[3/20/2015 4:37:14 PM] Canto: poit

[3/20/2015 4:37:22 PM] Janis: Janis leaps back

[3/20/2015 4:37:25 PM] Janis: "WHAT?"

[3/20/2015 4:37:35 PM] Canto: Nation's Voice:   OWWWW.

[3/20/2015 4:37:43 PM] Janis: Ow? What ow?

[3/20/2015 4:37:44 PM] Wynn: What just happened?

[3/20/2015 4:37:48 PM] Nilani: Nilani is sufficiently startled!

[3/20/2015 4:37:57 PM] Nilani: GAH!

[3/20/2015 4:38:08 PM] Wynn: Wynn stands with her shield!

[3/20/2015 4:38:16 PM] Janis: Janis draws her bow

[3/20/2015 4:38:42 PM] Canto: Nation's Voice:  My dimensional integrity field just got breached. It hurts when that happens.

[3/20/2015 4:38:55 PM] Wynn: What does that mean? Where'd Valerian go?

[3/20/2015 4:39:16 PM] Canto: Nation's Voice:  I dno't know!

[3/20/2015 4:39:31 PM] Canto: Wynn disappears!

[3/20/2015 4:39:38 PM] Janis: WHAT?

[3/20/2015 4:39:41 PM] Canto: poit

[3/20/2015 4:40:01 PM] Nilani: GAH!

[3/20/2015 4:40:07 PM] Janis: Bad bad bad!

[3/20/2015 4:40:11 PM] Canto: Nation's Voice:  Ow!

[3/20/2015 4:40:28 PM] Janis: What is breaking your dimensi-whatever?

[3/20/2015 4:40:58 PM] Canto: Nation's Voice:  No idea! Nothing in the immediate proximitiy! Probably some powerful magic from some remote place.

[3/20/2015 4:41:10 PM] Nilani: Ohhhh drat.

[3/20/2015 4:43:48 PM] Janis: Well...what do we do?

[3/20/2015 4:44:00 PM] Janis: We gotta do something!

[3/20/2015 4:44:17 PM] Canto: Janis disappears! poit

[3/20/2015 4:44:23 PM] Nilani: GAH!

[3/20/2015 4:44:28 PM] Canto: Nation:  Godsdammit, that hurts.

[3/20/2015 4:45:10 PM] Nilani: Well, it's probably going to happen again soon, if my luck is any indication.

[3/20/2015 4:46:19 PM] Canto: Nation:  Well, before that happens, activate your communicator! you still have it, right? Maybe I can track you.

[3/20/2015 4:46:34 PM | Edited 4:46:56 PM] Nilani: Great idea!

[3/20/2015 4:46:44 PM] Nilani: Nilani switches the thing on.

[3/20/2015 4:47:23 PM] Canto: One side of the small cube starts blinking cyan!

[3/20/2015 4:48:09 PM] Canto: Nilani vanishes! She's suddenly in a raging snowstorm. Val and Wynn and Janis are all there, shivering.

[3/20/2015 4:48:25 PM] Nilani: Welp.

[3/20/2015 4:48:46 PM] Janis: We couldn't go somewhere warm? I'm not ever wearing my sweater.

[3/20/2015 4:48:48 PM] Wynn: Come on, we need shelter.

[3/20/2015 4:49:09 PM] Valerian: There's a rock formation up ahead.

[3/20/2015 4:49:23 PM] Wynn: Everyone grab hold of someone else so we don't get separated.

[3/20/2015 4:49:42 PM] Janis: Janis takes Nilani and Wynn's hands

[3/20/2015 4:49:56 PM] Valerian: Good idea.

[3/20/2015 4:50:00 PM] Wynn: Wynn holds her shield up against the wind to try to help block the worst of it.

[3/20/2015 4:50:47 PM] Valerian: If this is home and we fall into a bad patch and get turned into goldfish I'm g-going to be very angry.

[3/20/2015 4:50:58 PM] Wynn: Wynn moves towards the rocks!

[3/20/2015 4:51:02 PM] Valerian: Valerian does too.

[3/20/2015 4:51:21 PM] Nilani: Nilani shuffles along'

[3/20/2015 4:51:22 PM] Canto: You guys make your way in the direction that Val indicated! It's coooooooooooooold. Everyone make Fort saves.

[3/20/2015 4:51:54 PM] Janis: ((unnat 20))

[3/20/2015 4:51:57 PM] Nilani: (( 14 ))

[3/20/2015 4:52:06 PM] Wynn: ((21.))

[3/20/2015 4:52:34 PM] Valerian: ((12.))

[3/20/2015 4:53:18 PM] Canto: Okay. Val takes 3 cold damage. He had just showered.

[3/20/2015 4:53:54 PM] Valerian: ((Brr.))

[3/20/2015 4:55:21 PM] Canto: You guys shuffle along. What you thought was a rock cropping is not rock, it's some long fossilized colossal skeleton. But it does provide cover from the cutting winds.

[3/20/2015 4:56:23 PM] Valerian: Ugh.

[3/20/2015 4:56:35 PM] Wynn: ...any ideas what happened?

[3/20/2015 4:56:50 PM] Janis: You think there are any live versions of...whatever this is?

[3/20/2015 4:56:50 PM] Canto: Everyone roll notice.

[3/20/2015 4:56:55 PM] Wynn: Better question: Anyone have the newfound ability to create fire?

[3/20/2015 4:56:59 PM] Valerian: No. Would it sound creepy if I suggested huddling together for warmth?

[3/20/2015 4:57:14 PM] Wynn: ((10.))

[3/20/2015 4:57:16 PM] Janis: ((16))

[3/20/2015 4:57:22 PM] Canto: Also, roll K:Nature if you have it.

[3/20/2015 4:57:27 PM] Wynn: No, it's an excellent idea.

[3/20/2015 4:57:27 PM] Valerian: ((8.))

[3/20/2015 4:57:38 PM | Edited 4:57:47 PM] Janis: I have a flare spell. Would that work?

[3/20/2015 4:57:56 PM] Valerian: ... save it for now.

[3/20/2015 4:58:08 PM] Janis: ((19 K:N))

[3/20/2015 4:58:11 PM] Nilani: (( 27 notice 15 K:N ))

[3/20/2015 4:58:27 PM] Valerian: ((14 K:N))

[3/20/2015 5:00:43 PM] Nilani: Guys, it looks like someone else was here already.

[3/20/2015 5:00:53 PM] Janis: .......this is bad.

[3/20/2015 5:01:04 PM] Wynn: Someone else? Like the rest of the crew?

[3/20/2015 5:01:07 PM] Nilani: Nilani points into the thing's skull.

[3/20/2015 5:01:19 PM] Janis: Janis follows Nilani's finger.

[3/20/2015 5:01:26 PM] Wynn: Wynn looks!

[3/20/2015 5:02:31 PM] Canto: There's a little tucked away area in a recess of the skull -- looks like there was a campsite.

[3/20/2015 5:03:04 PM] Wynn: Guess we found shelter then.

[3/20/2015 5:03:28 PM] Valerian: Good. Let's make sure the previous occupants didn't die horribly.

[3/20/2015 5:03:32 PM] Janis: ...guys...do you know what this was? This creature?

[3/20/2015 5:03:38 PM | Edited 5:03:53 PM] Wynn: Wynn climbs in (to look around better).

[3/20/2015 5:03:45 PM] Janis: I think it might've been a tarrasque.

[3/20/2015 5:04:06 PM] Valerian: Too small.

[3/20/2015 5:04:10 PM] Canto: It is indeed a small campsite!

[3/20/2015 5:04:31 PM | Edited 5:04:40 PM] Nilani: You mean the things that eat absolutely everything and keep going until they die?

[3/20/2015 5:04:33 PM] Canto: long abandoned.

[3/20/2015 5:04:50 PM] Janis: That's exactly what I mean.

[3/20/2015 5:05:02 PM] Nilani: Yeesh.

[3/20/2015 5:05:17 PM] Wynn: Doesn't matter much at this point. Probably better to be eaten than to freeze to death.

[3/20/2015 5:05:41 PM] Canto: Well, it's fossilized. It's not like it was running around and eating stuff recently.

[3/20/2015 5:05:54 PM] Janis: How about we do neither of those things? That sounds good, too.

[3/20/2015 5:06:17 PM] Wynn: ...then why isn't everyone else in here too?

[3/20/2015 5:06:27 PM] Valerian: We were proximate in the ship.

[3/20/2015 5:06:34 PM] Valerian: Maybe it's an area effect.

[3/20/2015 5:06:54 PM | Edited 5:06:55 PM] Wynn: ((She meant inside the skull camp. Far as I can tell, Wynn's the only one that went in))

[3/20/2015 5:07:17 PM] Valerian: Valerian follows Wynn!

[3/20/2015 5:07:24 PM] Janis: Janis climbs in

[3/20/2015 5:07:39 PM] Nilani: Nilani pulls out the communicator and examines it.

[3/20/2015 5:07:40 PM] Canto: Yep. Old campsite. No corpses!

[3/20/2015 5:07:49 PM | Edited 5:07:52 PM] Wynn: ((Anything burnable?))

[3/20/2015 5:08:03 PM] Canto: The communicator is still blinking! Still cyan.

[3/20/2015 5:08:07 PM] Canto: Roll search!

[3/20/2015 5:08:25 PM] Wynn: ((13.))

[3/20/2015 5:08:56 PM] Canto: You find the remnants of an old fire, but the wood doesn't look terribly burnable anymore. looks burnt out. Charcoal.

[3/20/2015 5:09:05 PM] Nilani: Hey, Nation, can you hear me, or is this just in tracking mode?

[3/20/2015 5:09:19 PM] Canto: Static!

[3/20/2015 5:09:27 PM] Wynn: I can turn my shield to fire, but only for a very short time.

[3/20/2015 5:09:27 PM] Nilani: Oh.

[3/20/2015 5:09:30 PM] Nilani: Lovely.

[3/20/2015 5:09:39 PM] Canto: But the cyan light is still blinking.

[3/20/2015 5:09:46 PM] Janis: ...maybe he can hear us but just can't say anything back.

[3/20/2015 5:09:56 PM] Nilani: Perhaps.

[3/20/2015 5:09:58 PM] Canto: Anyone can roll Search.

[3/20/2015 5:10:18 PM] Janis: ((14))

[3/20/2015 5:10:21 PM] Valerian: ((24 search.))

[3/20/2015 5:10:29 PM] Nilani: (( 25 ))

[3/20/2015 5:11:49 PM] Canto: Okay. Val and Nilani actually find a few old packs half-buried under some cold dirt at the back edge of the camp.

[3/20/2015 5:12:18 PM] Nilani: Ooh.

[3/20/2015 5:12:28 PM] Nilani: Nilani starts digging one out.

[3/20/2015 5:12:54 PM] Valerian: Valerian does too.

[3/20/2015 5:16:25 PM] Canto: One pack contains 5 heavy, fur-lined cloaks.

[3/20/2015 5:17:00 PM] Valerian: Oh thank gods.

[3/20/2015 5:17:02 PM] Canto: One of them is shredded half to hell by what looks like claw-marks.

[3/20/2015 5:17:12 PM] Valerian: ... less so for that one.

[3/20/2015 5:17:35 PM] Janis: ....I think we can guess what happened to the camp.

[3/20/2015 5:18:15 PM] Canto: Another pack contains a bunch of rotten food, along with a single metal spoon.

[3/20/2015 5:18:34 PM] Janis: Janis takes the spoon "Could be useful."

[3/20/2015 5:19:47 PM] Valerian: It would be lovely if someone were to show up and offer us pudding or something.

[3/20/2015 5:19:57 PM] Valerian: ... that spoon is magic.

[3/20/2015 5:19:58 PM] Janis: Or soup.

[3/20/2015 5:20:08 PM] Wynn: ...handy.

[3/20/2015 5:20:20 PM] Nilani: What kind of magic?

[3/20/2015 5:20:25 PM] Canto: The last pack contains an old journal, mostly illegible. There's a folded up map in there, almost mostly illegible.

[3/20/2015 5:20:36 PM] Valerian: Um.

[3/20/2015 5:20:40 PM] Valerian: Valerian peers at it.

[3/20/2015 5:22:25 PM] Valerian: It's one of those magic spoon enchantments.

[3/20/2015 5:22:27 PM] Canto: Also in that last pack is stuff like some pots and pans.

[3/20/2015 5:22:35 PM] Valerian: ... I mean that is what they're called, I think.

[3/20/2015 5:22:58 PM] Janis: ...there's a magic spoon enchantment? That's a special thing?

[3/20/2015 5:22:59 PM] Valerian: Put it in a pot and the pot fills up with kind of an oatmeal like substance.

[3/20/2015 5:23:17 PM] Valerian: Leomund's... Magic Spoon? Maybe? I don't know.

[3/20/2015 5:23:20 PM] Janis: Janis looks at a near by pot and throws it in.

[3/20/2015 5:23:37 PM] Valerian: A lot of soup kitchens use them, it's a lot better than nothing, especially on a cold day.

[3/20/2015 5:23:44 PM] Valerian: Armies too.

[3/20/2015 5:24:30 PM] Canto: After a few moments, yes, the pan fills up with a greyish gruel. It's luke-warm in temperature and looks like it tastes like cardboard.

[3/20/2015 5:24:58 PM] Janis: .......ok....well...if we get stuck here...now we have...this.

[3/20/2015 5:24:59 PM] Wynn: At least we won't starve.

[3/20/2015 5:25:49 PM] Valerian: I'm more worried about freezing, frankly.

[3/20/2015 5:25:53 PM] Valerian: We need fuel for a fire.

[3/20/2015 5:26:02 PM] Wynn: I hope this isn't one of those permanent blizzards. Our best bet is probably to wait out the storm and try to find landmarks once it clears up.

[3/20/2015 5:26:29 PM] Janis: We can use the torn up coat for fire and wear the others

[3/20/2015 5:27:05 PM] Valerian: That won't last long, though. We need something that takes longer to burn.

[3/20/2015 5:27:18 PM] Valerian: Now would be a useful time to have a wizard.

[3/20/2015 5:27:18 PM] Nilani: I might be able to help with the food a bit.

[3/20/2015 5:27:36 PM] Valerian: Valerian throws one of the coats on, by the way, and huddles into it.

[3/20/2015 5:27:47 PM] Janis: Janis does the same

[3/20/2015 5:27:55 PM] Nilani: Nilani pulls out a thick tome-y book and starts flipping through the pages.

[3/20/2015 5:27:58 PM] Wynn: Wynn takes one too.

[3/20/2015 5:28:48 PM] Canto: http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/forgottenrealms/images/3/31/Mask_symbol.jpg/revision/latest/scale-to-width/200?cb=20111007145116  This is emblazoned on the cover of Nilani's book, btw.

[3/20/2015 5:29:07 PM] Nilani: Do you guys like potato and onion soup?

[3/20/2015 5:29:11 PM] Janis: ...where did you get that?

[3/20/2015 5:29:27 PM] Nilani: Nilani shrugs.

[3/20/2015 5:29:40 PM] Nilani: I had it when I woke up after we all died.

[3/20/2015 5:29:53 PM] Janis: .....you're a wizard now?

[3/20/2015 5:29:55 PM] Wynn: ...whose symbol is it?

[3/20/2015 5:29:58 PM] Nilani: Seems so.

[3/20/2015 5:30:14 PM] Valerian: Can you light a fire or let us hide in one of those rope trick things?

[3/20/2015 5:30:59 PM] Nilani: I'm still filling the thing out. I've got ideas, but I still need to write them down.

[3/20/2015 5:32:04 PM | Edited 5:32:23 PM] Nilani: Nilani messes with the spoon/pot a bit, then tastes the contents.

[3/20/2015 5:32:23 PM] Janis: Wynn asked a good question. Who's symbol is that on your book?

[3/20/2015 5:32:52 PM] Canto: If you want to prepare spells, Nilani, I'll say that you've had enough rest,, you just need to do your studying to fill your spell slots.

[3/20/2015 5:33:01 PM] Nilani: If you're asking who I met with, the guy said his name was Mask.

[3/20/2015 5:33:09 PM] Canto: Which is 15 minutes to an hour.

[3/20/2015 5:33:13 PM] Janis: MASK?!?

[3/20/2015 5:33:17 PM] Janis: Mask is a god?!?

[3/20/2015 5:33:47 PM] Nilani: They're different people, but yeah, there's a god named Mask.

[3/20/2015 5:34:15 PM] Janis: ...huh...that's...weird. I need to get better at naming things.

[3/20/2015 5:34:31 PM] Valerian: I certainly hope they're different.

[3/20/2015 5:35:07 PM] Wynn: ...I wonder if that's the cause of your aura shift.

[3/20/2015 5:35:36 PM] Valerian: It could be. Mask isn't a nice god.

[3/20/2015 5:36:20 PM] Janis: I thought all the gods we met were part of some nice god guys club, or something.

[3/20/2015 5:36:33 PM] Nilani: How so? I mean, I don't expect a god of thieves and darkness to be good, but he seemed civil.

[3/20/2015 5:37:00 PM] Valerian: He might be civil, but he's not good, either.

[3/20/2015 5:37:15 PM] Valerian: Besides, the enemy of my enemy can definitely still be my enemy, trust me on that one.

[3/20/2015 5:37:52 PM] Wynn: A particularly insidious evil would pretend to be good to strike at just the right time.

[3/20/2015 5:38:14 PM] Valerian: Most of the evil gods don't like each other much more than any of the good ones.

[3/20/2015 5:40:14 PM] Wynn: Waiting out the storm, then?

[3/20/2015 5:40:37 PM] Janis: I guess. Assuming this world isn't, you know, snowstorm land.

[3/20/2015 5:40:53 PM] Wynn: Maybe we'll magically pop back to Nation before we freeze.

[3/20/2015 5:40:57 PM] Valerian: As long as it's not bloody Tarkishi.

[3/20/2015 5:41:08 PM] Wynn: If it is, we've found home.

[3/20/2015 5:41:40 PM] Janis: I don't think I've been to Tarkishi much, but is it really a frozen wasteland with giant monster skeletons?

[3/20/2015 5:41:55 PM] Valerian: Only the good parts, Janis. Only the good parts.

[3/20/2015 5:41:56 PM] Wynn: Wynn finds the warmest part of the skull and takes a seat, propping her shield up.

[3/20/2015 5:42:45 PM] Canto: It's still cold, but the back of the small recess is the best place for that, back where the packs were.

[3/20/2015 5:43:03 PM] Wynn: What's in the book you pulled out?

[3/20/2015 5:44:04 PM] Nilani: A lot of blank space.

[3/20/2015 5:44:12 PM] Nilani: And some cantrips

[3/20/2015 5:44:16 PM] Wynn: No, the book from the pack.

[3/20/2015 5:44:24 PM] Nilani: Oh.

[3/20/2015 5:44:36 PM] Nilani: Gibberish, mostly.

[3/20/2015 5:44:56 PM] Nilani: You can take a look, if you like.

[3/20/2015 5:45:13 PM] Wynn: Unless it's in Common, I won't be able to read it anyway.

[3/20/2015 5:45:13 PM] Janis: Janis takes a peek.

[3/20/2015 5:45:25 PM] Nilani: Nilani hands her the thing.

[3/20/2015 5:45:42 PM] Canto: Roll Decipher Script if you got it. If not, straight Int.

[3/20/2015 5:45:55 PM] Valerian: Valerian looks too.

[3/20/2015 5:46:10 PM] Janis: ((21, nat 20))

[3/20/2015 5:46:14 PM] Valerian: ((31.))

[3/20/2015 5:48:05 PM] Canto: Most of you have been on this plane long enough to recognize that the journal is written in the common language of this plane, which is a mix of a couple different Outsider languages like Celestial and Abyssal. Between you guys, it's the journal of a small band of adventurers that came up this way. They were hired by a Wizard to accompany him on a hunting trip -- he had said that the creatures native to this area provided great spell components.

[3/20/2015 5:48:36 PM] Valerian: Adventurers. Hm.

[3/20/2015 5:48:50 PM] Valerian: Were they swallowed whole?

[3/20/2015 5:49:40 PM] Canto: outside, the storm seems to be dying down a bit. The wind gets quieter after about half an hour, while you're trying to decipher what you can from this book.

[3/20/2015 5:50:43 PM] Janis: I don't think so.

[3/20/2015 5:50:55 PM | Edited 5:51:01 PM] Janis: How would they camp in the head, then?

[3/20/2015 5:51:18 PM] Janis: My guess is the tarrasque was long dead when they came by.

[3/20/2015 5:51:45 PM] Valerian: Yes.

[3/20/2015 5:52:33 PM] Canto: Do you guys poke your head out to maybe get a better lay of the land once visiblity conditions go up?

[3/20/2015 5:52:44 PM] Valerian: Valerian does.

[3/20/2015 5:52:49 PM] Janis: Janis does so too

[3/20/2015 5:52:50 PM | Edited 5:53:00 PM] Valerian: I wonder what creatures he was talking about.

[3/20/2015 5:53:19 PM] Janis: Dunno. Lots of animals can be used in spells.

[3/20/2015 5:53:21 PM | Edited 5:53:29 PM] Nilani: Nilani joins the others in head-poking.

[3/20/2015 5:53:23 PM] Valerian: Isn't bat guano a spell component?

[3/20/2015 5:54:58 PM] Canto: It's... well, it's a frozen wasteland, really. The tarrasque bones are the biggest landmark... you guys are in the head, but the spine forms a ridge that leads easterly. Now that things have cleared up, you can discern some landmarks that you can match up to some of the legible landmarks on the map. Some are circled, some have checkmarks beside them.

[3/20/2015 5:55:26 PM] Canto: There's one landmark on the map that's circled that you think says 'hut?'

[3/20/2015 5:55:32 PM] Canto: Or possible 'nut?'

[3/20/2015 5:55:43 PM] Canto: But since it's not near the pelvis, probably not.

[3/20/2015 5:56:03 PM] Janis: Seems like as good a place to head as any.

[3/20/2015 5:56:21 PM] Wynn: Wynn puts her shield on her arm and gets ready to go!

[3/20/2015 5:56:32 PM] Valerian: Right. If nothing else we can burn it for heat.

[3/20/2015 5:59:33 PM] Janis: It's hard to tell, but, I think the sun might poke through in about an hour. We may wanna wait until then.

[3/20/2015 6:00:19 PM] Wynn: Ok.

[3/20/2015 6:00:21 PM] Valerian: ... good idea.

[3/20/2015 6:01:43 PM] Canto: So you guys hang out! The sun actually starts poking through after about 40 mintues or so.

[3/20/2015 6:03:26 PM] Janis: Janis leaves, assuming the others come too

[3/20/2015 6:03:30 PM] Canto: The sky isn't clear, by any stretch of the imagination, but the sun is out.

[3/20/2015 6:03:54 PM] Wynn: Wynn will go too.

[3/20/2015 6:04:04 PM] Nilani: Nilani pulls her coat closer around her and sets out.

[3/20/2015 6:04:37 PM] Canto: Okay! So you head out! Toward the 'hut?/nut?'  on the map?

[3/20/2015 6:04:55 PM] Valerian: Valerian follows.

[3/20/2015 6:05:00 PM] Janis: ((Everyone to the Nut Hut. I hear the macadamias are good))

[3/20/2015 6:06:17 PM] Canto: It's apparently along the ribcage, the tallest part of the 'mountains' that this critters bones seem to make.

[3/20/2015 6:06:41 PM] Canto: As you're walking along, you hear Nation's Voice, quietly. "--ello?  Am I getting through?"

[3/20/2015 6:07:02 PM] Nilani: Nilani holds up the thing.

[3/20/2015 6:07:12 PM] Nilani: We can hear you now!

[3/20/2015 6:09:02 PM | Edited 6:09:12 PM] Canto: "... I'm not -- any sendings from your end.  So -- listen.  Somewhere in the northern --"  "On my way, but don't know when -- interference, better fix when I'm closer."

[3/20/2015 6:09:25 PM] Janis: Northern what?

[3/20/2015 6:09:56 PM] Wynn: Sounds like he's on his way, but it'll take time. Let's get to this place and hope it'll be warm enough.

[3/20/2015 6:10:28 PM] Valerian: Right.

[3/20/2015 6:10:55 PM] Canto: There's just static after that.

[3/20/2015 6:11:24 PM] Canto: You guys continue to trudge forward! Notice checks.

[3/20/2015 6:11:43 PM] Janis: ((28))

[3/20/2015 6:11:55 PM | Edited 6:12:03 PM] Nilani: (( 28 ))

[3/20/2015 6:11:55 PM] Janis: ((Sorry, 30, looking at Nilani's))

[3/20/2015 6:11:56 PM] Wynn: ((2. lol))

[3/20/2015 6:12:02 PM | Edited 6:12:37 PM] Wynn: ((snow, snow, snow, snow, Val, snow, snow))

[3/20/2015 6:12:22 PM] Valerian: ((1.))

[3/20/2015 6:12:31 PM] Valerian: ((The lovebirds are distracted...))

[3/20/2015 6:15:13 PM] Canto: Awwww.

[3/20/2015 6:15:39 PM] Canto: Janis and Nilani see a corpse-shaped form in the snow up ahead!

[3/20/2015 6:16:18 PM] Janis: Dead guy up aheaad.

[3/20/2015 6:16:46 PM] Wynn: Wynn frowns and moves up to it. (And moves a bit more quickly than the others!)

[3/20/2015 6:17:29 PM] Valerian: Valerian follows after her.

[3/20/2015 6:18:12 PM] Janis: Janis ditto

[3/20/2015 6:19:10 PM] Wynn: Wynn clears the snow or whatever she has to do to take a look!

[3/20/2015 6:19:30 PM] Canto: It's a corpse. Half-frozen. Dessicated. Been here awhile. She's wearing chainmail armor, and a cloak.

[3/20/2015 6:19:52 PM] Canto: You can find a sword buried in the snow near her hand, as well. Bastard sword.

[3/20/2015 6:20:05 PM] Valerian: We should take the cloak at least. Poor woman.

[3/20/2015 6:20:21 PM] Janis: Think she was one of the adventurers?

[3/20/2015 6:20:29 PM] Valerian: She must be.

[3/20/2015 6:20:36 PM] Wynn: Wynn takes the sword too, just in case, and says a prayer for her.

[3/20/2015 6:21:26 PM] Canto: The sword is very nice, and has a symbol on its hilt, a sun with a mans face in it.

[3/20/2015 6:22:20 PM] Valerian: ... the cloak and the sword are both magic.

[3/20/2015 6:22:40 PM] Janis: Can you specify?

[3/20/2015 6:22:57 PM] Valerian: Not really.

[3/20/2015 6:22:58 PM] Wynn: Wynn then says another, more casual prayer, this one to Pelor.

[3/20/2015 6:23:44 PM] Wynn: I'm sure someone would appreciate if this was returned to them. Family or friends or someone.

[3/20/2015 6:24:29 PM] Wynn: Let's continue.

[3/20/2015 6:25:09 PM] Janis: Hold on, let me try something.

[3/20/2015 6:25:33 PM] Janis: Janis casts Detect Magic on the area (taking the full minute if we are not attacked))

[3/20/2015 6:26:28 PM] Janis: ...well, that was a waste of time. Let's go.

[3/20/2015 6:26:52 PM] Valerian: The cloak probably helps against the cold, I think. Janis, you should put that on.

[3/20/2015 6:27:02 PM] Janis: I have a coat.

[3/20/2015 6:27:28 PM] Valerian: We all do, but this is better than that.

[3/20/2015 6:27:46 PM] Valerian: And besides, you're the one who actually spends the most time outdoors anyway.

[3/20/2015 6:27:53 PM] Valerian: I hate nature.

[3/20/2015 6:28:34 PM] Janis: Then maybe you need it. We're all gonna freeze if we don't find shelter. It shouldn't just be me who doesn't.

[3/20/2015 6:29:14 PM] Valerian: Believe me, I am not volunteering to freeze to death.

[3/20/2015 6:29:35 PM] Wynn: Wynn continues in the general direction and hopes they will figure it out and catch up.

[3/20/2015 6:29:47 PM] Janis: Janis is following while arguing

[3/20/2015 6:30:09 PM] Canto: Roll notice!

[3/20/2015 6:30:13 PM] Janis: Why don't we take turns? You wear it for now, in a little bit, we'll give it to someone else.

[3/20/2015 6:30:22 PM] Valerian: ((1.))

[3/20/2015 6:30:26 PM] Valerian: All right.

[3/20/2015 6:30:28 PM] Janis: ((23))

[3/20/2015 6:30:30 PM] Valerian: Valerian puts it on over the coat.

[3/20/2015 6:30:31 PM] Wynn: ((12.))

[3/20/2015 6:30:37 PM] Nilani: (( 26 ))

[3/20/2015 6:32:03 PM] Canto: You guys head off, leaving the corpse behind. As you guys walk away and Wynn and Val start making out again or whatever, Nlani and Janis notice the corpse you just left has gotten to its feet.

[3/20/2015 6:32:25 PM] Janis: ....guys?

[3/20/2015 6:32:54 PM] Canto: She's still dessicated, but now she seems to have ice crystals growing off of her.

[3/20/2015 6:33:08 PM] Nilani: Nilani whirls around to face the thing

[3/20/2015 6:33:11 PM] Wynn: Wynn turns to look!

[3/20/2015 6:33:23 PM] Valerian: Valerian does too.

[3/20/2015 6:33:28 PM] Valerian: Oh, great.

[3/20/2015 6:33:37 PM] Janis: Janis draws her bow

[3/20/2015 6:33:52 PM] Wynn: Wynn moves in front of the group!

[3/20/2015 6:33:53 PM] Canto: Roll initiative!

[3/20/2015 6:34:05 PM] Valerian: ((21.))

[3/20/2015 6:34:27 PM] Janis: ((22))

[3/20/2015 6:34:29 PM] Wynn: ((4. Wynn's the only one that walks around the ship without her weapon or armor, isn't she? lol))

[3/20/2015 6:34:53 PM | Edited 6:35:12 PM] Nilani: (( 22 paranoid elf adventures, awaaaay!))

[3/20/2015 6:35:04 PM] Valerian: ((Diplomatic necessity for a Tarkishian diplomat. You're not even considered dressed without at least one visible weapon.))

[3/20/2015 6:35:06 PM] Canto: ((I'm gonna say that if you wanted to say you had your weapons on you, that's fine.))

[3/20/2015 6:35:13 PM] Canto: ((I'm not a total asshole.))

[3/20/2015 6:35:44 PM] Wynn: ((Psh. Nope. I got a spiffy new sword to whack it with anyway. I'll roll with her decisions.))

[3/20/2015 6:36:32 PM] Canto: Round 1:  Zombie-thing, Janis/Nilani, Val, Wynn

[3/20/2015 6:36:43 PM] Canto: It charges at Wynn!

[3/20/2015 6:37:09 PM] Canto: First of all, everyone roll a Fort save.

[3/20/2015 6:37:14 PM] Wynn: ((12 AC now))

[3/20/2015 6:37:24 PM] Valerian: ((20 fort.))

[3/20/2015 6:37:37 PM] Wynn: ((nat 1.... so close...))

[3/20/2015 6:38:21 PM] Janis: ((14))

[3/20/2015 6:39:00 PM] Canto: ((Nilani?))

[3/20/2015 6:39:30 PM] Nilani: (( 9 ))

[3/20/2015 6:41:09 PM] Canto: Okay! Wynn, you take 2 pts of cold damage. Nilani, 7 pts. Janis, 3 pts. The air around this thing just seems to get colder in an instant. Everyone but Val feels it. Val feels fine.

[3/20/2015 6:41:39 PM] Valerian: Valerian is fiiiiiiine. Fortunately. He's down to 17 HP at this point.

[3/20/2015 6:41:44 PM] Canto: 12 AC?

[3/20/2015 6:41:48 PM] Wynn: ((yup))

[3/20/2015 6:42:42 PM] Canto: ((Wow, I'm rolling shitty. Good, I didn't want to kill anyone yet.))  It charges at Wynn, but misses as it tries to swipe at her with its claws.

[3/20/2015 6:42:50 PM] Canto: Janis

[3/20/2015 6:42:51 PM] Wynn: ((yet.))

[3/20/2015 6:43:36 PM] Janis: Janis opens with a rapid fire shot!

[3/20/2015 6:44:21 PM] Janis: ((Crit hit, 27 and a 26 to confirm the crit))

[3/20/2015 6:44:32 PM] Janis: ((YEAH BABY!))

[3/20/2015 6:44:33 PM] Canto: Undead.

[3/20/2015 6:44:44 PM] Janis: ((FUCKING FUCK!))

[3/20/2015 6:45:38 PM] Janis: ((Where am I in relation to Wynn and the undead?))

[3/20/2015 6:46:00 PM] Canto: Probably not far away. Your shot still hit.

[3/20/2015 6:46:10 PM] Janis: ((Ah, right))

[3/20/2015 6:46:38 PM] Canto: I'll even say you hit twice, you can use that 26 for the second shot.

[3/20/2015 6:47:09 PM] Janis: ((Well, 8 regular damage and 7 frost damage))

[3/20/2015 6:47:39 PM | Edited 6:47:50 PM] Canto: K! Worth noting that despite its cold abilities, it does not seem to have any particular resistance to the cold damage.

[3/20/2015 6:47:51 PM] Janis: ((kk))

[3/20/2015 6:48:05 PM | Edited 6:48:15 PM] Canto: Nilani

[3/20/2015 6:49:19 PM] Nilani: Nilani attempts to flank with Wynn! (sneak attack is nullified, but flanking bonuses are still nice!)

[3/20/2015 6:49:33 PM] Canto: Yep, you can flank.

[3/20/2015 6:50:17 PM] Nilani: (( 26 ))

[3/20/2015 6:50:27 PM] Canto: That's a hit.

[3/20/2015 6:51:32 PM] Nilani: ((5 damage, 1 of which is fire damage.))

[3/20/2015 6:51:58 PM] Canto: Okay! you stab at the zambi!

[3/20/2015 6:52:25 PM] Canto: Val

[3/20/2015 6:52:44 PM] Valerian: Valerian tries to charge the zombie-thingy. ((13?))

[3/20/2015 6:56:56 PM] Valerian: Valerian misses!

[3/20/2015 6:57:06 PM] Canto: Your blow goes a bit wide, deflected by the thing's armor.

[3/20/2015 6:57:09 PM] Canto: Wynn

[3/20/2015 6:57:48 PM] Wynn: Wynn uses the Pelor sword in one hand and the Cuthbert shield in the other to totally eff this guy up. (Hopefully, lol)

[3/20/2015 6:58:35 PM] Canto: To use a Bastard Sword one-handed takes Exotic Weapon Proficiency, otherwise youre taking the -4 penalty.

[3/20/2015 6:59:05 PM] Wynn: ((14 and 24. Flanking's +2, right? -4 was already counted in.))

[3/20/2015 6:59:34 PM] Canto: Which attack is first?

[3/20/2015 6:59:38 PM] Wynn: ((sword))

[3/20/2015 6:59:59 PM] Canto: Okay. You hit with your shield!

[3/20/2015 7:00:16 PM] Canto: The large blade is a bit unwieldy in one hand.

[3/20/2015 7:00:25 PM] Wynn: ((4 dmg because I NEVER roll above a 1 on bash damage))

[3/20/2015 7:00:38 PM] Canto: Alright!

[3/20/2015 7:00:47 PM] Canto: Round 2:  Zombie, Janis/Nilani, Val, Wynn

[3/20/2015 7:02:28 PM] Canto: It swipes at Wynn again, connecting this time. Its hand is supernaturally cold! It slams her in the shoulder for7 damage + 6 Cold damage.

[3/20/2015 7:02:51 PM] Canto: Oh, and everyone but Val make Fort saves.

[3/20/2015 7:03:07 PM] Wynn: ((25.))

[3/20/2015 7:03:11 PM] Janis: (music)

[3/20/2015 7:03:23 PM] Nilani: (( 11 ))

[3/20/2015 7:04:28 PM] Canto: Wynn, you take 4 damage from its aura of cold. Nilani, you take 6. Janis, you take 5. Val, you're very cozy in your cloak.

[3/20/2015 7:05:54 PM] Canto: Janis

[3/20/2015 7:06:19 PM] Janis: ((Is there a side of this creature not being flanked?))

[3/20/2015 7:06:29 PM] Canto: Its back.

[3/20/2015 7:07:18 PM] Janis: ((Would I be able to get there in one move action?))

[3/20/2015 7:07:26 PM] Canto: Yeah.

[3/20/2015 7:07:34 PM] Janis: ((All I needed to know))

[3/20/2015 7:08:43 PM] Janis: Janis summons a flaming sphere and moves it to engulf from behind

[3/20/2015 7:08:56 PM] Janis: ((It needs a reflex save to avoid it))

[3/20/2015 7:09:23 PM] Janis: ((Save is 16))

[3/20/2015 7:10:28 PM] Canto: It does not make that save.

[3/20/2015 7:10:52 PM] Janis: ((4 DAM, and the ball exists for five rounds))

[3/20/2015 7:11:11 PM] Canto: Nilani

[3/20/2015 7:11:50 PM] Nilani: Nilani continues stabbitystabbing! (( 27 ))

[3/20/2015 7:12:12 PM] Canto: That is a hit.

[3/20/2015 7:13:22 PM] Nilani: (( 9 ))

[3/20/2015 7:14:53 PM] Canto: Okay!

[3/20/2015 7:14:55 PM] Canto: Val

[3/20/2015 7:15:28 PM] Valerian: Valerian tries to hit it again! ((18.))

[3/20/2015 7:15:32 PM] Canto: That is a hit.

[3/20/2015 7:16:57 PM] Canto: Val stabs the thing squarely in the shoulder!

[3/20/2015 7:17:02 PM] Canto: It basically explodes.

[3/20/2015 7:17:08 PM] Valerian: Valerian creates a weird zappy discharge when he pulls the rapier back out. "... right, lightning sword."

[3/20/2015 7:17:27 PM] Valerian: I think it was allergic to lightning.

[3/20/2015 7:18:00 PM] Janis: You ever notice we fight a lot of things that either explode or melt?

[3/20/2015 7:18:00 PM] Canto: Explosively allergic.

[3/20/2015 7:18:06 PM] Wynn: Good job. Let's get out of here so I can tend everyone's wounds.

[3/20/2015 7:18:09 PM] Valerian: Valerian brushes some zombie off his cloak.

[3/20/2015 7:18:30 PM] Canto: I mean, it wasn't a really juicy corpse. It mostly shattered. But it did explode.

[3/20/2015 7:18:58 PM] Janis: ...I changed my mind. I'd like the cloak.

[3/20/2015 7:19:08 PM] Valerian: Valerian tosses it to her.

[3/20/2015 7:19:16 PM] Janis: Janis catches it and puts it on.

[3/20/2015 7:19:46 PM] Canto: Yeah, the cold aura goes away as well.

[3/20/2015 7:20:22 PM] Canto: Now it's just normal cold.

[3/20/2015 7:20:32 PM] Valerian: Valerian shivers.

[3/20/2015 7:20:46 PM] Valerian: Right. Where were we going? I got disoriented.

[3/20/2015 7:21:32 PM] Canto: It's not hard to get your bearings again if you're headed to the hut marked on the map.

[3/20/2015 7:22:44 PM] Valerian: Valerian is generally always disoriented, though. Low notice, low wisdom. He's waiting for someone better with directions to point.

[3/20/2015 7:23:07 PM] Janis: Janis heads back where we were heading.

[3/20/2015 7:23:24 PM] Valerian: Valerian follows her!

[3/20/2015 7:23:28 PM] Wynn: Wynn too!

[3/20/2015 7:23:33 PM] Janis: So, I have fire powers now. That's pretty cool. All in all, this god thing is working out pretty well.

[3/20/2015 7:23:59 PM] Valerian: I just hope there's a fireplace and a good stack of wood in the hut.

[3/20/2015 7:24:09 PM] Valerian: And not, say, a succubus or an angry pit fiend.

[3/20/2015 7:24:16 PM] Canto: ((Good idea.))

[3/20/2015 7:24:23 PM] Canto: It's their summer retreat.

[3/20/2015 7:24:29 PM] Canto: Roll notice everyone!

[3/20/2015 7:24:42 PM] Janis: ((21))

[3/20/2015 7:24:46 PM] Valerian: ((1. See?))

[3/20/2015 7:24:48 PM] Wynn: ((9.))

[3/20/2015 7:24:51 PM] Nilani: (( 17 ))

[3/20/2015 7:24:55 PM] Valerian: ((Would YOU trust Val to walk the right direction in a snowstorm?))

[3/20/2015 7:26:35 PM] Canto: Janis spots another corpse! This one is actually propped against one of the gigantic ribs. ONce you get closer, it looks like it's been sheared from its left shoulder to under its right arm.

[3/20/2015 7:27:12 PM] Janis: Janis fires and arrow at it first, to be safe

[3/20/2015 7:27:17 PM] Valerian: ((This time we should cut its head off FIRST.))

[3/20/2015 7:27:22 PM] Canto: It has no head.

[3/20/2015 7:27:36 PM] Janis: ((She does so anyway, unnat 20))

[3/20/2015 7:27:45 PM] Wynn: Wynn moves up to take a look.

[3/20/2015 7:28:22 PM] Valerian: Valerian does too.

[3/20/2015 7:28:41 PM] Nilani: Nilani peeks over, cautiously.

[3/20/2015 7:29:47 PM] Canto: K! You staple the corpse to the fossilized rib. This one seems to be a male dwarff, wearing heavy armor. He's sitting crosslegged, and has a battleaxe on his lap.

[3/20/2015 7:30:29 PM] Canto: Looks like he was sitting here, probably looking for cover from the wind, and maybe he fell asleep and something with a giant sword kinda bisected him.

[3/20/2015 7:30:44 PM] Wynn: Wynn kneels and says a prayer for him too!

[3/20/2015 7:31:22 PM] Janis: ...who would come along and just behead a guy like that?

[3/20/2015 7:31:36 PM] Wynn: Someone trying to murder a group of adventurers?

[3/20/2015 7:31:39 PM] Janis: They either weren't fighting, or his killer propped him up like that.

[3/20/2015 7:32:33 PM] Valerian: That's disturbing.

[3/20/2015 7:32:39 PM] Valerian: The cloak is magic.

[3/20/2015 7:32:47 PM] Valerian: So is the battleaxe and something in his pack.

[3/20/2015 7:33:11 PM] Wynn: Wynn takes a look in his pack!

[3/20/2015 7:33:35 PM] Canto: He's got several bottles filled with a red liquid! Five of them.

[3/20/2015 7:34:02 PM] Valerian: Potions of some kind. We should take those back with us.

[3/20/2015 7:34:13 PM] Canto: ((Or use them. To not die.))

[3/20/2015 7:34:26 PM] Janis: Any idea what they do?

[3/20/2015 7:35:00 PM] Valerian: Not really, no.

[3/20/2015 7:35:07 PM] Valerian: Hang on.

[3/20/2015 7:36:09 PM] Valerian: Um. I'm pretty sure they're healing potions.

[3/20/2015 7:36:44 PM] Canto: Or Healing Potion Pops, right now, as they're pretty frozen. You can still use em, though.

[3/20/2015 7:36:59 PM] Valerian: Or... healing slushies, I guess.

[3/20/2015 7:37:08 PM] Valerian: We'll get ice cream headaches if we use those.

[3/20/2015 7:37:24 PM] Janis: But they're healthy.

[3/20/2015 7:37:26 PM | Edited 7:38:20 PM] Wynn: Wynn carefully removes the pack and cloak.

[3/20/2015 7:37:47 PM] Canto: The cloak looks like the same kind of cloak that Janis is wearing.

[3/20/2015 7:38:14 PM] Janis: This is probably another anti-freezing cloak. So, now we can trade between two at a time.

[3/20/2015 7:38:23 PM] Valerian: Nilani should wear that one.

[3/20/2015 7:38:33 PM] Wynn: Wynn hands it to her.

[3/20/2015 7:38:40 PM] Valerian: For now, anyway. I've had my turn already, and I'm fine for now.

[3/20/2015 7:39:03 PM] Wynn: ((There any way to stick the sword in the pack? lol))

[3/20/2015 7:39:18 PM] Nilani: Nilani takes the thing and fastens it around her. "Thanks!"

[3/20/2015 7:39:44 PM] Canto: Sure. You can jam the sword through the straps so you can sling it over your back.

[3/20/2015 7:40:04 PM] Canto: The battleaxe has flame motifs over its blade.

[3/20/2015 7:40:08 PM] Canto: So it probably does sonic damage.

[3/20/2015 7:40:10 PM] Wynn: ((Awesome. Wynn, walking armory. Axe in hand, sword on shoulders))

[3/20/2015 7:40:25 PM] Janis: ...so...I'm noticing some themes with the stuff we find.

[3/20/2015 7:40:26 PM] Valerian: (("So hot."))

[3/20/2015 7:40:42 PM] Valerian: A certain flamish motif.

[3/20/2015 7:41:08 PM] Wynn: Go ahead and start walking. I'll make sure this one stays down and catch up.

[3/20/2015 7:41:21 PM] Janis: Janis does so

[3/20/2015 7:41:44 PM] Valerian: Valerian hesitates, but goes with Janis.

[3/20/2015 7:41:49 PM] Nilani: Nilani also starts trudging off.

[3/20/2015 7:42:06 PM] Canto: Okay! you head off. Wynn can do whatever she wants to with this corpse, it does not get up again.

[3/20/2015 7:42:19 PM] Wynn: Wynn catches up once she's sure it's not getting up.

[3/20/2015 7:44:28 PM] Canto: So you travel along for while and you spot the 'hut'. It's a somewhat rickety consctruction that seems to be built between two of the ribs and into the rock that this fossilized monstrosity has kinda melded with.

[3/20/2015 7:44:37 PM] Canto: Anyone gonna use a healing potion?

[3/20/2015 7:45:11 PM] Janis: ((Not me, just yet))

[3/20/2015 7:45:27 PM] Valerian: Valerian doesn't need it, he had the cloak on and still has a whole 17 HP.

[3/20/2015 7:45:40 PM] Wynn: Wynn isn't even half dead yet. Psh.

[3/20/2015 7:46:25 PM] Nilani: Nilani is at exactly half health, but she'd feel bad about depleting resources.

[3/20/2015 7:50:04 PM] Canto: Okay. So, there's the hut, half built into the 'hill/tarrasque-side'. There's a rickety door at the top of a small rickety set of six steps.

[3/20/2015 7:51:01 PM] Janis: ...Wynn...I believe you like to take the lead in these situations.

[3/20/2015 7:51:35 PM] Wynn: Wynn nods and starts climbing!

[3/20/2015 7:51:35 PM] Valerian: Yeah.

[3/20/2015 7:51:46 PM] Janis: Janis follows

[3/20/2015 7:51:58 PM] Wynn: Wynn knocks on the door!

[3/20/2015 7:52:05 PM] Canto: Everyone roll Will saves.

[3/20/2015 7:52:29 PM] Wynn: ((16.))

[3/20/2015 7:52:31 PM] Valerian: ((9.))

[3/20/2015 7:52:37 PM] Janis: ((10))

[3/20/2015 7:52:38 PM] Nilani: (( 22 ))

[3/20/2015 7:52:50 PM] Janis: ((Finally get a boost to that stat, and I fudge the roll))

[3/20/2015 7:52:59 PM] Valerian: ((Ditto!))

[3/20/2015 7:55:39 PM] Canto: You guys hear beautiful music from inside the hut as the door slams open and three skeletal figures come out! Val and Janis are fascinated. It's like those peole that hear American Pie and have to stop and sing along with it.

[3/20/2015 7:55:45 PM] Canto: Roll initiative everyone!

[3/20/2015 7:56:15 PM] Wynn: ((19 on a nat 20. finally a good roll))

[3/20/2015 7:56:18 PM] Valerian: ((Ouch, baby. I resemble that remark.))

[3/20/2015 7:56:18 PM] Janis: ((24))

[3/20/2015 7:56:22 PM] Nilani: GAH! (( 22 ))

[3/20/2015 7:56:28 PM] Valerian: ((3.))

[3/20/2015 7:56:32 PM] Valerian: ...

[3/20/2015 7:57:16 PM] Janis: ((You were that fascinated))

[3/20/2015 7:57:53 PM] Canto: ((Yep. in other news, I only roll good for initiative tonight.))

[3/20/2015 7:58:23 PM] Canto: Round 1:  Deathloks, Janis, harper, Nilani, Wynn, Val

[3/20/2015 7:59:10 PM] Canto: the skeletal guys are wearing tatters of what look like once magnficent robes. Wynn's in front, right?

[3/20/2015 7:59:25 PM] Wynn: Yup.

[3/20/2015 8:01:00 PM] Canto: The first one lashes out at Wynn! It paws at her. Gimme a fort save, please.

[3/20/2015 8:01:58 PM] Wynn: ((nat 1. AGAIN.))

[3/20/2015 8:02:47 PM] Canto: It touches you and your frail fleshy body is assailed with negative energy! You take 7 points of damage.

[3/20/2015 8:03:25 PM] Canto: The second skeleman points at Nilani, and launches two magic missles at her! 7 damage.

[3/20/2015 8:03:46 PM] Canto: The third skeleman paws at Wynn but misses.

[3/20/2015 8:03:56 PM] Canto: Janis  -- Janis is entranced.

[3/20/2015 8:04:51 PM] Janis: (

[3/20/2015 8:04:59 PM] Canto: Wynn can see that inside the hut itself, there is a figure in leather armor strumming a harp. She continues to strum.

[3/20/2015 8:05:05 PM] Canto: Nilani

[3/20/2015 8:05:24 PM] Valerian: ((FUCKING BARDS.))

[3/20/2015 8:05:34 PM] Janis: ((Kill the lot of em!!!)))

[3/20/2015 8:07:07 PM] Janis: ((If Val weren't fascinated too, he could try countersong))

[3/20/2015 8:08:11 PM] Nilani: Nilani attempts to get up in their faces and knock them about a bit, waving her rapier about wildly.

[3/20/2015 8:08:19 PM] Canto: Okay!

[3/20/2015 8:08:26 PM] Nilani: ((11))

[3/20/2015 8:08:43 PM] Canto: That is a miss.

[3/20/2015 8:08:47 PM] Canto: Wynn

[3/20/2015 8:10:26 PM] Wynn: ((Can I get inside to the harp player?))

[3/20/2015 8:11:56 PM] Canto: The skeletons seem to be set to disallow that very action. you can try and Bull Rush past them, but that would allow for some attacks of opportunity.

[3/20/2015 8:12:34 PM] Wynn: ((Smite with the axe on skellie it is then))

[3/20/2015 8:12:42 PM] Canto: Okay!

[3/20/2015 8:13:09 PM] Wynn: 31 hits I'm guessing.

[3/20/2015 8:13:24 PM] Wynn: 7 dmg assuming it's a reg. battleaxe.

[3/20/2015 8:13:39 PM] Wynn: wait

[3/20/2015 8:13:41 PM] Canto: 31 really hits.

[3/20/2015 8:13:46 PM] Wynn: 11 damage. forgot the smite dmg

[3/20/2015 8:14:11 PM] Canto: Okay. It also bursts into flame as you strike the thing, so roll  another d6

[3/20/2015 8:14:57 PM] Wynn: ((no... dammit where did I get that? 8 damage not 11.))

[3/20/2015 8:15:07 PM] Wynn: then 5 fire.

[3/20/2015 8:15:18 PM] Canto: How much total?

[3/20/2015 8:15:24 PM] Wynn: 13. lol

[3/20/2015 8:15:36 PM] Canto: You smash it good! It goes down to one knee.

[3/20/2015 8:16:17 PM] Canto: Don't you get another attack?

[3/20/2015 8:16:27 PM] Wynn: ((Not if I.... I didn't move.

[3/20/2015 8:16:33 PM] Canto: nope!

[3/20/2015 8:16:40 PM] Wynn: ((But... I also didn't take the -2 to attack for it.))

[3/20/2015 8:16:47 PM] Canto: Don't worry about it.

[3/20/2015 8:17:23 PM] Wynn: ((15 for bash))

[3/20/2015 8:17:27 PM] Canto: That's a hit.

[3/20/2015 8:17:37 PM] Wynn: 7 more

[3/20/2015 8:17:53 PM] Canto: ((Don't you also get an attack from your BAB?))

[3/20/2015 8:18:31 PM] Wynn: no

[3/20/2015 8:18:34 PM] Canto: You bring your shield down on its head, and it shatters into dust!

[3/20/2015 8:19:20 PM] Canto: Val --BYE BYE MISS AMERICAN PIE

[3/20/2015 8:19:29 PM] Valerian: ...

[3/20/2015 8:19:43 PM] Janis: ((Does that count as countersong?))

[3/20/2015 8:19:46 PM] Canto: Round 2:  Deatlocks, Janis, Bard, Nilani, Wynn, Val

[3/20/2015 8:19:58 PM] Janis: ((Maybe his singing is so off-key, it breaks the spell))

[3/20/2015 8:20:36 PM] Canto: The two remaining skelemen both use magic missle. One hits Wynn for 8 damage.

[3/20/2015 8:20:49 PM] Canto: The other hits Nilani for 5 damage.

[3/20/2015 8:21:21 PM] Canto: Janis Still fascinated.

[3/20/2015 8:23:32 PM] Janis: A LONG LOOOONG TIME AGO! I CAN STILL REMEMBER--

[3/20/2015 8:24:14 PM] Canto: The bard stops playing and walks over toward Wynn. She changes her shape from this ethereal looking undead lady into a young human woman as she reaches out to touch Wynn! Wynn, make a Fort save.

[3/20/2015 8:24:45 PM] Wynn: ((13.))

[3/20/2015 8:25:41 PM] Canto: Wynn, you take 3 pts of Charisma damage.

[3/20/2015 8:25:47 PM] Canto: JAnis and Val, roll Will.

[3/20/2015 8:26:21 PM] Janis: ((NAT 20!!!! 28))

[3/20/2015 8:26:51 PM] Canto: Janis snaps out of it! She can go on her next initiative.

[3/20/2015 8:27:01 PM] Valerian: ((5.))

[3/20/2015 8:28:04 PM] Canto: Val has one more round, then he'll snap out of it.

[3/20/2015 8:28:08 PM] Canto: Nilani

[3/20/2015 8:29:07 PM] Canto: The lady that the undead bard has shapeshifted into, btw, looks a bit like Wynn.

[3/20/2015 8:29:15 PM] Nilani: Nilani goes over to shake Val, and then hide behind him. Erm, I mean provide tactical support!

[3/20/2015 8:29:50 PM] Canto: Okay!

[3/20/2015 8:30:35 PM] Canto: Val snaps out of it! Nilani slaps him.

[3/20/2015 8:30:57 PM] Valerian: Valerian blinks.

[3/20/2015 8:31:01 PM] Canto: Wynn

[3/20/2015 8:31:03 PM] Valerian: Pie. What?

[3/20/2015 8:31:57 PM] Nilani: Nilani points at the two Wynns.

[3/20/2015 8:32:01 PM] Wynn: Wynn shouts and rages. And actually rages... and attacks one of the other skellies. ((There's 2 now and the lady, right?))

[3/20/2015 8:32:17 PM] Canto: Yep!

[3/20/2015 8:32:46 PM] Wynn: ((21, 21))

[3/20/2015 8:33:13 PM] Canto: Who are you attacking?

[3/20/2015 8:33:17 PM] Wynn: Skellie

[3/20/2015 8:33:27 PM] Canto: Hit.

[3/20/2015 8:33:30 PM] Canto: Both of them.

[3/20/2015 8:33:50 PM] Wynn: ((SO MANY DICE! 22 + 6 fire))

[3/20/2015 8:34:07 PM] Canto: YOu smash a second skeleman!

[3/20/2015 8:34:30 PM] Canto: To bits!

[3/20/2015 8:34:31 PM] Canto: Val

[3/20/2015 8:34:45 PM] Janis: ((Still singing))

[3/20/2015 8:34:59 PM] Canto: Nah, Nilani woke him up.

[3/20/2015 8:35:08 PM] Janis: ((Ah, nevermind))

[3/20/2015 8:37:16 PM] Valerian: Valerian reaches out a hand to the skeleton and shoots a bolt of roiling black-red-black energy at it.

[3/20/2015 8:38:05 PM] Canto: pew pew!

[3/20/2015 8:38:28 PM] Canto: It esplodes.

[3/20/2015 8:39:59 PM] Canto: Both hit.

[3/20/2015 8:40:30 PM] Janis: ((9 reg dam with 8 frost dam))

[3/20/2015 8:41:04 PM] Canto: Okay! The undead Wynn-looking bard reaches out toward Wynn again!

[3/20/2015 8:41:09 PM] Canto: Roll fort, Wynn.

[3/20/2015 8:41:22 PM] Wynn: ((18.))

[3/20/2015 8:41:33 PM] Wynn: ((wait. 20.))

[3/20/2015 8:41:38 PM] Canto: Okay, nothing happens.

[3/20/2015 8:41:41 PM] Canto: Nilani

[3/20/2015 8:41:43 PM] Wynn: ((forgot RAGE))

[3/20/2015 8:43:45 PM] Canto: Nilani

[3/20/2015 8:44:29 PM] Nilani: Nilani attempts to flank the undead bard with Wynn.

[3/20/2015 8:44:40 PM] Canto: You can take a five foot step and do that.

[3/20/2015 8:44:45 PM] Canto: WYnn

[3/20/2015 8:45:32 PM] Wynn: ((Did I miss something? Isn't it still Nilani?))

[3/20/2015 8:45:44 PM] Canto: ((Oh, right, sorry.))

[3/20/2015 8:45:50 PM] Canto: Still Nilani

[3/20/2015 8:46:20 PM] Nilani: (( 14 for stabbitystabbing ))

[3/20/2015 8:46:38 PM] Canto: That hits.

[3/20/2015 8:47:37 PM] Canto: Wynn

[3/20/2015 8:48:16 PM] Wynn: HOW DARE YOU? ((Double attack))

[3/20/2015 8:48:50 PM] Wynn: ((23, 13))

[3/20/2015 8:48:58 PM] Canto: First one hits.

[3/20/2015 8:49:14 PM | Edited 8:49:23 PM] Wynn: ((13+ 3 fire dmg))

[3/20/2015 8:49:44 PM] Canto: She smashes the bard with furious anger! DAMN BARDS.

[3/20/2015 8:49:47 PM] Canto: Val

[3/20/2015 8:50:04 PM] Valerian: Valerian finds a spot and stabs at her!

[3/20/2015 8:50:17 PM] Valerian: ((25.))

[3/20/2015 8:50:28 PM] Canto: Hit!

[3/20/2015 8:51:30 PM] Canto: Val stabs her and she EXPLODES. He's doing a lot of exploding.

[3/20/2015 8:51:37 PM] Canto: end combat

[3/20/2015 8:51:56 PM] Wynn: Wynn goes inside and smashes the harp for good measure.

[3/20/2015 8:52:00 PM] Canto: She takes on her original form.

[3/20/2015 8:52:46 PM] Canto: She was apparently the bard of this ill-fated group. It's interesting to note that she was drow.

[3/20/2015 8:53:00 PM] Canto: Just looking at her remains.

[3/20/2015 8:53:19 PM] Janis: So, a cleric, a fighter and a bard went on an adventure.

[3/20/2015 8:53:38 PM] Janis: The first one becomes a zombie, the second one dies, and this one becomes...whatever this is.

[3/20/2015 8:53:53 PM] Valerian: I don't know.

[3/20/2015 8:53:59 PM] Valerian: Valerian picks up the pieces of the harp.

[3/20/2015 8:54:06 PM] Canto: There is a door in the back of this hut, leads deeper into the hill.

[3/20/2015 8:54:12 PM] Janis: DON'T DO THAT!

[3/20/2015 8:54:23 PM] Janis: For all you know she was possessed by it!

[3/20/2015 8:54:24 PM] Wynn: Wynn goes back outside and kinda collapses to her knees.

[3/20/2015 8:54:43 PM] Valerian: She wasn't possessed by it, it's just an ordinary--Wynn?

[3/20/2015 8:54:55 PM] Valerian: Valerian follows her out. "... are you all right?"

[3/20/2015 8:55:01 PM] Janis: Janis follows

[3/20/2015 8:55:05 PM] Janis: ...everything ok?

[3/20/2015 8:55:52 PM] Wynn: ...no.

[3/20/2015 8:56:03 PM] Wynn: Who needs healing?

[3/20/2015 8:56:27 PM] Janis: Janis looks at Nilani "I think Nilani's about to die.

[3/20/2015 8:56:53 PM] Canto: She does not look good.

[3/20/2015 8:57:09 PM] Valerian: Wynn, can you...?

[3/20/2015 8:57:20 PM] Nilani: Oh, I'm fi-Nope. Nevermind. That is certainly frostbite.

[3/20/2015 8:57:35 PM] Valerian: Nothing's fallen off yet, has it?

[3/20/2015 8:57:47 PM] Nilani: I don't think so, no.

[3/20/2015 8:57:56 PM] Wynn: Wynn stands slowly and moves to her, touching her shoulder. ((10 hp for now))

[3/20/2015 8:57:58 PM] Valerian: Good. That's a lot more expensive to fix.

[3/20/2015 8:58:06 PM] Valerian: ... long story.

[3/20/2015 8:58:33 PM] Valerian: The harper has a bunch of magic stuff, by the way. If anyone wants to take it.

[3/20/2015 8:58:46 PM] Wynn: Wynn scowls at it.

[3/20/2015 8:59:07 PM] Nilani: What kind of magic? There's a bunch of different flavors.

[3/20/2015 8:59:15 PM] Valerian: Another frost-resistant cloak, I think, plus magic armor, the bow and ... something in her pack?

[3/20/2015 8:59:25 PM] Janis: What bow?

[3/20/2015 8:59:37 PM] Valerian: The shortbow.

[3/20/2015 8:59:40 PM] Wynn: Wynn goes back inside to sit against a wall and let them figure out the loot. ((And I need a drink))

[3/20/2015 9:00:02 PM] Janis: Janis takes a look at the shortbow. "It has magic?"

[3/20/2015 9:01:01 PM] Nilani: Nilani glances outside occasionally.

[3/20/2015 9:01:27 PM] Valerian: It does.

[3/20/2015 9:01:42 PM] Valerian: I'll just... make sure she's all right.

[3/20/2015 9:02:10 PM] Valerian: Valerian checks on Wynn. "Anything I can do to help?"

[3/20/2015 9:03:19 PM] Wynn: ...no. I just... need to catch my breath.

[3/20/2015 9:05:25 PM] Valerian: I wonder why she made herself look like you.

[3/20/2015 9:05:42 PM] Wynn: Not me.

[3/20/2015 9:06:15 PM] Valerian: Well, not exactly like you.

[3/20/2015 9:06:20 PM] Valerian: But a little bit.

[3/20/2015 9:06:21 PM] Canto: The bard also had a pack with three potions, two red ones, one green one.

[3/20/2015 9:07:13 PM] Wynn: ...my sister.

[3/20/2015 9:07:25 PM] Janis: Janis turns to look over.

[3/20/2015 9:08:30 PM] Valerian: Oh gods, that's awful. I'm so sorry.

[3/20/2015 9:10:51 PM] Janis: ...it wasn't her.

[3/20/2015 9:10:58 PM] Valerian: Of course it wasn't.

[3/20/2015 9:10:59 PM] Wynn: Wynn sets her jaw and stands. "Are we staying here or checking the door?"

[3/20/2015 9:11:31 PM] Valerian: Checking the door.

[3/20/2015 9:11:33 PM] Janis: ...Nilani, can you check the door for traps?

[3/20/2015 9:11:44 PM] Valerian: Valerian loots the bard, if nobody else did.

[3/20/2015 9:11:51 PM] Nilani: Sure. Hold on a sec...

[3/20/2015 9:12:17 PM] Nilani: (( 19 search ))

[3/20/2015 9:12:30 PM] Canto: No traps.

[3/20/2015 9:12:43 PM] Nilani: Wait.

[3/20/2015 9:12:54 PM] Wynn: I'm low on everything. If we want to try those potions, now's probably the time to do it.

[3/20/2015 9:12:54 PM] Nilani: Don't open that door.

[3/20/2015 9:13:07 PM] Nilani: There is something behind there.

[3/20/2015 9:13:38 PM] Janis: Janis grips her longbow again

[3/20/2015 9:13:42 PM] Nilani: Something sapient and hostile.

[3/20/2015 9:14:11 PM] Nilani: Well, no. It's actually not right behind the door.

[3/20/2015 9:14:22 PM] Valerian: No?

[3/20/2015 9:14:22 PM] Nilani: But it's... Behind there.

[3/20/2015 9:14:31 PM] Nilani: Somewhere in the hill.

[3/20/2015 9:15:22 PM] Nilani: I could actually feel it trying to possess me.

[3/20/2015 9:15:29 PM] Valerian: ... that is not good.

[3/20/2015 9:15:34 PM] Wynn: Wynn scowls more.

[3/20/2015 9:15:36 PM] Nilani: Not at all!

[3/20/2015 9:15:38 PM] Janis: Nilani...back away.

[3/20/2015 9:15:39 PM] Valerian: Maybe that's what happened to the harper.

[3/20/2015 9:15:55 PM] Valerian: Maybe she killed her friends.

[3/20/2015 9:16:16 PM] Nilani: Nilani continues backing away. She was already halfway to the door.

[3/20/2015 9:16:48 PM] Wynn: Wynn moves towards the door.

[3/20/2015 9:17:11 PM] Janis: Wynn...maybe that's not the best idea.

[3/20/2015 9:17:26 PM] Janis: If it possesses you, we will have the hardest time...stopping you...

[3/20/2015 9:18:01 PM] Wynn: Why? I'm unarmored. I'm... wounded.

[3/20/2015 9:18:28 PM] Janis: Maybe we should just wait here.

[3/20/2015 9:18:46 PM] Janis: We have shelter from the cold, which is what we wanted. If we keep an eye on the door, it cannot sneak up on us.

[3/20/2015 9:18:55 PM] Valerian: Yeah.

[3/20/2015 9:19:06 PM] Janis: That way we can heal and, if we're lucky, Nation can pick us up before anything else happens.

[3/20/2015 9:19:11 PM] Valerian: Best not to engage when we're already hurt and insufficiently prepared.

[3/20/2015 9:19:21 PM] Valerian: We can come back to fight when we're healed.

[3/20/2015 9:21:18 PM] Janis: If nothing else, Wynn, you should heal up.

[3/20/2015 9:21:29 PM] Janis: Besides Nilani, you've taken the brunt of everything.

[3/20/2015 9:22:16 PM] Wynn: Wynn tosses the pack and weapons to the side and sits against the door with her shield.

[3/20/2015 9:22:47 PM] Canto: It's a fiarly rickety door.

[3/20/2015 9:23:09 PM | Edited 9:23:21 PM] Nilani: Nilani finds a spot as far away from the inner door as she can, and huddles against the wall.

[3/20/2015 9:23:30 PM] Janis: Janis sits and keeps her bow out.

[3/20/2015 9:23:46 PM] Valerian: I can apparently explode my enemies now.

[3/20/2015 9:24:00 PM] Janis: Yes, you're very good at it.

[3/20/2015 9:24:07 PM] Valerian: ... it's a little disconcerting.

[3/20/2015 9:24:15 PM] Janis: But useful.

[3/20/2015 9:24:17 PM] Canto: K. YOu guys taking a sit down. Anyone gonna use the potions to heal up?

[3/20/2015 9:24:20 PM] Wynn: ...don't let me have those weapons back.

[3/20/2015 9:24:28 PM] Valerian: Why?

[3/20/2015 9:24:31 PM] Janis: Janis takes a poiton.

[3/20/2015 9:24:41 PM] Janis: Because she's the human sacrifice.

[3/20/2015 9:24:46 PM] Valerian: Valerian is only down 7 HP.

[3/20/2015 9:24:51 PM] Janis: If it wants to possess someone, she wants it to possess her.

[3/20/2015 9:25:02 PM] Canto: 1d6+5 hp back, Janis.

[3/20/2015 9:25:25 PM] Janis: ((I rolled a 1, so 6 HP?))

[3/20/2015 9:25:32 PM] Janis: ((OR do you roll?))

[3/20/2015 9:25:38 PM] Valerian: It would probably be best if it didn't possess anyone.

[3/20/2015 9:26:01 PM] Janis: As someone with experience, yes, possession sucks. We shouldn't let it happen.

[3/20/2015 9:26:02 PM] Canto: 6 HP. I also rolled a 1.

[3/20/2015 9:26:18 PM] Janis: :D

[3/20/2015 9:26:29 PM] Wynn: It's... amused.

[3/20/2015 9:27:02 PM] Janis: Ooooh. Scary demon thing. I'm shaking.

[3/20/2015 9:27:06 PM] Nilani: Nilani gazes concernedly over.

[3/20/2015 9:27:08 PM] Wynn: Probably thinks it's clever.

[3/20/2015 9:27:33 PM] Wynn: Bet she can't fight her dead sister.

[3/20/2015 9:27:47 PM] Janis: .......she...?

[3/20/2015 9:27:53 PM] Janis: Janis readies her bow.

[3/20/2015 9:27:58 PM] Wynn: Me.

[3/20/2015 9:28:07 PM] Janis: I know. The third person was...disconcerting.

[3/20/2015 9:28:25 PM] Janis: ...hey, I'm learning all kinds of new words these days, ain't I?

[3/20/2015 9:28:38 PM] Wynn: Wynn rolls her eyes. "That was supposed to be what it was thinking."

[3/20/2015 9:28:54 PM | Edited 9:28:59 PM] Janis: Sorry. I didn't...

[3/20/2015 9:29:02 PM] Janis: Nevermind.

[3/20/2015 9:29:16 PM] Wynn: I'm guessing whatever's back there is the reason why that... thing out there was wearing my sister's face.

[3/20/2015 9:29:23 PM] Valerian: Almost certainly.

[3/20/2015 9:29:42 PM] Valerian: I hate this world.

[3/20/2015 9:30:10 PM] Wynn: Try Nation again.

[3/20/2015 9:30:20 PM] Canto: Hey, what has this world done to you? I mean besides all the death.

[3/20/2015 9:30:50 PM] Nilani: Nilani pulls out the cube and sets it on the floor in front of her.

[3/20/2015 9:31:07 PM] Canto: Static.

[3/20/2015 9:31:17 PM] Nilani: Bleh.

[3/20/2015 9:31:31 PM] Canto: Everyone roll notice, please.

[3/20/2015 9:31:48 PM] Janis: ((26))

[3/20/2015 9:31:55 PM] Nilani: (( 30 ))

[3/20/2015 9:31:57 PM] Wynn: ((14.))

[3/20/2015 9:32:09 PM] Valerian: ((8.))

[3/20/2015 9:32:42 PM] Canto: Nilani and Janis hear the sounds of armored footsteps coming from behind the door that Wynn is leaning against.

[3/20/2015 9:32:55 PM] Nilani: Oh drat.

[3/20/2015 9:33:05 PM] Janis: ...ok...this might be a bigger deal than we thought.

[3/20/2015 9:33:40 PM] Janis: There might be an army behind the door.

[3/20/2015 9:33:48 PM] Janis: Most likely, more skelemen.

[3/20/2015 9:34:21 PM] Valerian: Let's keep the door shut, then.

[3/20/2015 9:34:51 PM] Wynn: Wynn stands and braces the door with her shield. "On it."

[3/20/2015 9:35:05 PM] Canto: Okay. Wynn, gimme a Str roll.

[3/20/2015 9:35:32 PM] Wynn: ((hahahaha I need new dice. 7.))

[3/20/2015 9:36:34 PM] Canto: The somewhat flimsy door kinda expodes inward, throwing Wynn back as a seven-foot-tall figure covered in ancient armor and holding a greatsword that is currently on fire kicks it in.

[3/20/2015 9:36:58 PM] Janis: Well, we knew this would happen eventually.

[3/20/2015 9:36:59 PM] Canto: Wynn, you are thrown back and will have to take a move action to get back up.

[3/20/2015 9:37:02 PM] Canto: Initiative!

[3/20/2015 9:37:02 PM] Nilani: Oh just wonderful.

[3/20/2015 9:37:17 PM] Janis: ((23))

[3/20/2015 9:37:17 PM] Valerian: Shit!

[3/20/2015 9:37:19 PM] Wynn: ((5.))

[3/20/2015 9:37:28 PM] Valerian: ((7.))

[3/20/2015 9:37:41 PM] Nilani: (( 21 ))

[3/20/2015 9:38:21 PM] Canto: Janis

[3/20/2015 9:38:42 PM] Janis: ((How far are we all from the armor dude?))

[3/20/2015 9:39:01 PM] Canto: You're all inside the hut, so you're not terribly far. Maybe ten feet.

[3/20/2015 9:39:27 PM] Janis: Janis rapid shots while I think of a better plan

[3/20/2015 9:39:44 PM] Janis: ((11, 12))

[3/20/2015 9:39:50 PM] Janis: ((We're boned))

[3/20/2015 9:40:00 PM] Canto: Those both ping off its armor.

[3/20/2015 9:40:06 PM] Canto: Nilani

[3/20/2015 9:40:46 PM | Edited 9:41:03 PM] Canto: ((I will say that while you were sitting around you guys could have distributed the 6 remaining health potions whatever way you wanted.

[3/20/2015 9:41:09 PM] Valerian: Valerian took one!

[3/20/2015 9:42:27 PM] Janis: Janis did so too.

[3/20/2015 9:42:31 PM] Canto: ((There is a reason I gave them to you. -_- ))

[3/20/2015 9:42:50 PM] Nilani: Nilani attempts to fire a crossbow bolt at the thing. (that never fails. EVER. :P) (she also took a potion during the rest.)

[3/20/2015 9:42:57 PM] Canto: ((It's like in a video game when you find a bunch of supplies right next to the save point.))

[3/20/2015 9:43:06 PM] Janis: ((NILANI!!!!!!!!!!!!)

[3/20/2015 9:43:15 PM] Janis: ((NILANI! SAVE US!))

[3/20/2015 9:43:19 PM] Canto: Okay!

[3/20/2015 9:43:19 PM | Edited 9:43:25 PM] Valerian: ((A place to put a tent.))

[3/20/2015 9:44:54 PM] Canto: ((What did you get?))

[3/20/2015 9:45:17 PM] Nilani: (( 22 ))

[3/20/2015 9:45:29 PM] Canto: Hit!

[3/20/2015 9:45:48 PM] Canto: This isn't a very dextrous creature.

[3/20/2015 9:46:27 PM] Nilani: (( 1. ))

[3/20/2015 9:46:43 PM] Valerian: ((I'm sure that was a very important toe.))

[3/20/2015 9:46:59 PM] Nilani: (( OH, THE CARNAGE! WHY MUST WE BE SO VIOLENT? ))

[3/20/2015 9:47:03 PM] Canto: Monster

[3/20/2015 9:47:50 PM] Canto: It swipes at Wynn with its greatsword! It misses TWICE. Because I can't roll high unless it's for initiative tonight.

[3/20/2015 9:47:56 PM] Canto: Val

[3/20/2015 9:48:11 PM] Valerian: Valerian takes a stab at it! 21 attack.

[3/20/2015 9:48:17 PM] Canto: Hit!

[3/20/2015 9:49:45 PM] Canto: Val stabs at an opening in its armor, channeling a burst of energy through the rapier! IT reels a little.

[3/20/2015 9:50:08 PM] Canto: WYnn

[3/20/2015 9:51:51 PM] Wynn: Wynn action hero rolls to her feet and goes for the axe!

[3/20/2015 9:52:12 PM] Canto: Okay! you can grab it.

[3/20/2015 9:52:26 PM] Canto: Round 2:  Janis, Nilani, Monster, Val, Wynn

[3/20/2015 9:53:44 PM] Janis: ((Ok, two nat 20s, confirm the first with a 12 and the second with a 19))

[3/20/2015 9:53:52 PM] Canto: Undead.

[3/20/2015 9:53:57 PM] Canto: But they both hit.

[3/20/2015 9:54:11 PM] Janis: ((.............................MOTHERFUCKING SHIT ASS........ok, well, that is good))

[3/20/2015 9:54:32 PM] Janis: ((12 DAM))

[3/20/2015 9:54:34 PM] Wynn: (((Janis goes into a rage))

[3/20/2015 9:54:58 PM] Canto: Okay! Both arrows find their way through its armor!

[3/20/2015 9:55:03 PM] Canto: Nilani

[3/20/2015 9:55:40 PM] Nilani: Nilani flanks with Wynn and attemts to stab the thing!

[3/20/2015 9:56:34 PM] Canto: You can do so!

[3/20/2015 9:56:44 PM] Nilani: (( Nat 1! ))

[3/20/2015 9:57:24 PM] Canto: That is a wondrous miss! Your rapier didn't simply deflect off its armor, you just plain missed!

[3/20/2015 9:59:40 PM] Canto: It swipes at Wynn with its flaming greatsword, cutting at her midsection! Fifteen damage.

[3/20/2015 10:00:09 PM] Wynn: Wynn falls! (-1)

[3/20/2015 10:00:27 PM] Canto: Wynn's down!

[3/20/2015 10:00:35 PM] Canto: Val

[3/20/2015 10:02:04 PM] Valerian: Valerian 5-foot steps away from the guy, then runs to Wynn and pours a potion down her gullet.

[3/20/2015 10:02:24 PM] Canto: Okay!

[3/20/2015 10:02:48 PM] Canto: Wynn gets 10 pts back.

[3/20/2015 10:03:00 PM] Canto: And doesn't miss her turn.

[3/20/2015 10:03:04 PM] Canto: Wynn

[3/20/2015 10:03:35 PM] Wynn: Wynn heals herself with the last of her LoH, stands, and rages.

[3/20/2015 10:06:05 PM] Janis: ((20 dam))

[3/20/2015 10:06:33 PM] Canto: Two more arrows find their way to its tender bits!

[3/20/2015 10:07:20 PM] Canto: The creature swings at Wynn again and rolls a damn 1. Wynn, you should praise Kord.

[3/20/2015 10:07:28 PM] Janis: ((What about Nilani?))

[3/20/2015 10:07:38 PM] Canto: Oh, right, whoops.

[3/20/2015 10:07:41 PM] Canto: Nilani

[3/20/2015 10:07:47 PM] Canto: Just remember that it misses Wynn.

[3/20/2015 10:08:12 PM] Nilani: Nilani continues attempting to skewer the thing!

[3/20/2015 10:11:33 PM] Canto: Val stabs it with his rapier and channels more power into it! It EXPLODES.

[3/20/2015 10:12:56 PM] Canto: A bunch of pieces of ancient armor clatter to the floor.

[3/20/2015 10:13:00 PM] Valerian: ... I really have mixed feelings about being able to do that.

[3/20/2015 10:13:12 PM] Janis: It's really, really useful.

[3/20/2015 10:13:40 PM] Wynn: Wynn growls, then sits abruptly. Again.

[3/20/2015 10:13:43 PM] Janis: Let me guess, Val. The armor is magical?

[3/20/2015 10:13:53 PM] Valerian: Um.

[3/20/2015 10:13:56 PM] Valerian: Valerian peers at it.

[3/20/2015 10:14:02 PM] Janis: Janis runs over to Wynn "You ok?"

[3/20/2015 10:14:09 PM] Wynn: Fine.

[3/20/2015 10:14:12 PM] Valerian: Not anymore.

[3/20/2015 10:15:20 PM] Valerian: I don't think it was one of the adventurers at all. No cape.

[3/20/2015 10:15:34 PM] Janis: So...what was it?

[3/20/2015 10:15:48 PM] Janis: Janis looks through the door it came from

[3/20/2015 10:16:20 PM] Canto: There's a rough hewn passageway leading down into the hill!

[3/20/2015 10:16:45 PM] Janis: ...it just never ends.

[3/20/2015 10:17:24 PM] Wynn: Wynn stands, hefts shield and axe and moves towards the door.

[3/20/2015 10:17:39 PM] Valerian: We don't have to go down there. ... well, all right.

[3/20/2015 10:17:41 PM] Valerian: Valerian follows.

[3/20/2015 10:17:57 PM] Janis: Janis follows too.

[3/20/2015 10:18:07 PM] Janis: You notice how this has all focused on Wynn?

[3/20/2015 10:18:29 PM] Wynn: Wynn continues.

[3/20/2015 10:18:36 PM] Valerian: So they have good taste.

[3/20/2015 10:18:50 PM] Janis: The zombie woman took her sister's form, the other monster taunted her and then it ignored us to attack her.

[3/20/2015 10:18:56 PM] Janis: No one else finds that weird?

[3/20/2015 10:19:28 PM] Valerian: She's the strongest-looking.

[3/20/2015 10:19:58 PM] Janis: You hit him with lightning. Still focused on Wynn.

[3/20/2015 10:20:07 PM] Nilani: Well, she's a paladin. Something sufficiently evil might be able to sense that, and attempt to take her down first.

[3/20/2015 10:20:14 PM] Wynn: Wynn continues walking.

[3/20/2015 10:20:17 PM] Valerian: And I don't look threatening.

[3/20/2015 10:20:53 PM] Valerian: ... and besides, I don't think it was lightning.

[3/20/2015 10:21:05 PM] Valerian: Most of it, anyway.

[3/20/2015 10:21:19 PM] Valerian: The sword's got electrical energy, but that was....

[3/20/2015 10:21:39 PM] Canto: You guys go down this passage a ways. On the way down you find another corpse. Looks like it was cut down on the way up the passage, dead from greatsword wounds. This one was a halfling wearing leather armor. He also had a cloak.

[3/20/2015 10:22:15 PM] Wynn: Wynn kneels with another prayer.

[3/20/2015 10:23:04 PM] Janis: The rogue.

[3/20/2015 10:23:08 PM] Canto: This is another one that looks like it's not intact enough to get up and start trying to kill you.

[3/20/2015 10:23:21 PM] Valerian: Valerian takes any of the pieces that seem magical.

[3/20/2015 10:23:30 PM] Janis: How did it choose?

[3/20/2015 10:23:50 PM] Canto: Cloak, an amulet, and the daggers. Two more red potions.

[3/20/2015 10:23:50 PM] Janis: It kills this and the dwarf, but turned the cleric and the bard. Why?

[3/20/2015 10:24:14 PM] Valerian: Magic?

[3/20/2015 10:24:26 PM] Valerian: Bad luck?

[3/20/2015 10:24:28 PM] Janis: Maybe.

[3/20/2015 10:24:44 PM] Valerian: ((They rolled 1s.))

[3/20/2015 10:24:55 PM] Wynn: They just didn't have the good fortune to be killed dead enough?

[3/20/2015 10:25:13 PM] Wynn: Wynn continues walking.

[3/20/2015 10:25:16 PM] Valerian: I don't... think it works quite that way, but it might?

[3/20/2015 10:25:41 PM] Nilani: Nilani pulls out the potion she had grabbed earlier, and chugs it.

[3/20/2015 10:25:45 PM] Janis: If I die. Make sure I'm extra dead, then.

[3/20/2015 10:25:56 PM] Canto: 9 pts of hp back, Nilani.

[3/20/2015 10:25:56 PM] Janis: I want to be, like, super-awesome-ultra dead.

[3/20/2015 10:26:08 PM] Valerian: I honestly don't know very much about necromancy. It's an area of study that never interested me much. Quite possibly due to the smells it generally involves.

[3/20/2015 10:28:29 PM] Canto: You follow the passage down into what looks like the ruins of an ancient building. Maybe the tarrasque fell on it way back when. Looks like it was once much bigger. A bunch of shambling corpses are currently digging using crude tools, attempting to excavate more of the room.

[3/20/2015 10:28:41 PM] Canto: They don't pay any attention to you. The smell is awful.

[3/20/2015 10:29:45 PM] Valerian: .... speaking of...

[3/20/2015 10:30:03 PM] Wynn: Wynn narrows her eyes.

[3/20/2015 10:30:31 PM] Janis: Janis covers her nose "Ugghh"

[3/20/2015 10:31:18 PM] Canto: There's an altar at the center of the room, and there's a woman seated on it. A drow woman, in studded leather armor. She looks.... bored. She's playing idly with a short sword. She looks up as you enter!

[3/20/2015 10:31:43 PM] Valerian: Good afternoon.

[3/20/2015 10:32:04 PM] Valerian: Or do you prefer Undercommon?

[3/20/2015 10:32:28 PM] Canto: Drow:  Either, or.

[3/20/2015 10:32:32 PM] Wynn: Wynn tightens her grip on the axe.

[3/20/2015 10:32:35 PM] Valerian: In that case.

[3/20/2015 10:32:40 PM] Janis: Janis readies her bow

[3/20/2015 10:32:42 PM] Valerian: Valerian repeats the greeting politely in Undercommon.

[3/20/2015 10:33:12 PM] Canto: She looks at Wynn. "ohhhh, hello, Sarah Wynn.  Did you know there's a price on your head back where I come from?"

[3/20/2015 10:33:33 PM] Janis: Janis looks over at Wynn "What did you do?"

[3/20/2015 10:33:35 PM] Wynn: And where would that be?

[3/20/2015 10:34:33 PM] Canto: Drow:  Selethrae.

[3/20/2015 10:34:41 PM] Valerian: I congratulate you on your excavations. It all looks very orderly.

[3/20/2015 10:35:25 PM] Canto: Drow:  One of the matrons put it out on you. Don't know who. This was years ago, of course. But time gets weird when we're talking about cross-planar travel, don't you find?

[3/20/2015 10:35:53 PM] Valerian: As I understand it the rate of timeflow changes depending on one's speed and spell-optimization.

[3/20/2015 10:36:21 PM] Janis: ......yes....I also know words. What's going on here?

[3/20/2015 10:36:24 PM] Canto: She looks around at the excavations in a bored manner. "Oh, this?  Not my project."

[3/20/2015 10:37:08 PM] Valerian: Oh? My apologies, then.

[3/20/2015 10:38:08 PM] Canto: She hops off the altar. "I suspect that contract is why you're here.  It pulled one of my memories and used it to pull more victims here."

[3/20/2015 10:38:51 PM] Valerian: I'm Valerian, by the way. Wynn you seemed to recognize; this is Janis and Nilani.

[3/20/2015 10:39:10 PM] Valerian: "It"?

[3/20/2015 10:39:12 PM] Janis: And we more showed up to just not freeze to death.

[3/20/2015 10:39:14 PM] Nilani: Nilani nods politely.

[3/20/2015 10:40:25 PM] Canto: Drow:  The necromancer I work for, of course.

[3/20/2015 10:40:35 PM] Janis: Who's that?

[3/20/2015 10:41:05 PM] Canto: She shrugs. "I dunno.  Never gave me its name."

[3/20/2015 10:41:14 PM] Valerian: Ah, I see. Was it looking for more bodies, then?

[3/20/2015 10:41:59 PM] Canto: Drow:  Yes. It's also looking for one body in particular. You might be a good choice, cutie.

[3/20/2015 10:42:19 PM] Janis: Why one in particular?

[3/20/2015 10:42:33 PM] Wynn: Wynn scowls.

[3/20/2015 10:42:41 PM] Valerian: Um, thank you, I think, but I'm afraid mine is taken at the moment. Very, very taken.

[3/20/2015 10:42:56 PM] Canto: Drow:  Oh, it likes yours, though. Very.... versatile.

[3/20/2015 10:43:14 PM] Valerian: Valerian reddens a little bit.

[3/20/2015 10:43:19 PM] Valerian: Um. Be that as it may.

[3/20/2015 10:43:22 PM] Janis: Ew. This conversation got gross.

[3/20/2015 10:43:54 PM] Valerian: I'm sure the necromancer could do better than us four.

[3/20/2015 10:43:57 PM] Janis: ((Search roll 10 to see if anything is creeping up on us while we talk))

[3/20/2015 10:45:13 PM] Janis: You didn't answer my question. Who is it looking for in particular and why?

[3/20/2015 10:45:25 PM] Valerian: Yes, perhaps we could keep an eye out.

[3/20/2015 10:46:06 PM] Janis: An eye out?

[3/20/2015 10:46:24 PM] Valerian: For a body more appropriate to the task at hand.

[3/20/2015 10:46:36 PM] Wynn: Wynn clenches her teeth.

[3/20/2015 10:46:42 PM] Janis: Janis shoots Val a look but says nothing.

[3/20/2015 10:47:04 PM] Janis: Ok, we can do that, but we'd need to know exactly what we're looking for. Which brings us back to my last two questions.

[3/20/2015 10:47:19 PM] Canto: Drow:  It's cute that you think you're leaving.

[3/20/2015 10:47:49 PM] Canto: Drow:  But I like your diplomat there. Is that the trace of a Tarkishi accent I'm picking up?

[3/20/2015 10:48:39 PM] Valerian: More than a trace, I'm afraid. You know, you could leave with us. I'm sure there are better places to work than here, and some people do like a bit less supervision.

[3/20/2015 10:49:19 PM] Canto: Drow:  I can pull some strings. If you guys submit, you'll get to be mostly intact in undeath. If not... well, you saw the rest of my group, didn't you? Rather nasty.

[3/20/2015 10:49:34 PM] Wynn: That will never happen.

[3/20/2015 10:49:38 PM] Janis: ...you were with the party?

[3/20/2015 10:50:01 PM] Janis: You were the wizard, you led them here.

[3/20/2015 10:50:04 PM] Janis: Didn't you?

[3/20/2015 10:50:07 PM] Valerian: Are you postmortal yourself, then?

[3/20/2015 10:51:06 PM] Canto: Drow:  Oh, no, I'm not the wizard. The necromancer. He lured us all here so he could start on this project of his.

[3/20/2015 10:51:36 PM] Canto: Drow:  but yes, I am... postmortal? I like that.

[3/20/2015 10:52:15 PM] Valerian: That's a nuisance. It means no matter what we agree on he can force you to try and kill us for him.

[3/20/2015 10:52:44 PM] Janis: So...all peaceful solutions would be...problematic?

[3/20/2015 10:52:53 PM] Wynn: ..."try"...

[3/20/2015 10:55:00 PM] Canto: Drow:  Mmm. Well. You've done fairly well to get to this point, I admit. But it would be easier if I didn't have to kill you. I mean, you killed the Helmed Horror, it will take awhile for the necromancer to reconstitute him.

[3/20/2015 10:55:51 PM] Valerian: You know, you could just tell us how to get to the necromancer and stay here. After we killed him you'd be free to do as you like.

[3/20/2015 10:56:07 PM] Janis: I think this is as she likes it.

[3/20/2015 10:57:10 PM] Valerian: Being undead with a master is like being mindcontrolled. Even if he's allowing her something she likes now, it doesn't mean it'll be like that always.

[3/20/2015 10:57:11 PM] Canto: Everyone roll notice checks, please.

[3/20/2015 10:57:23 PM] Valerian: ((2! WOOT.))

[3/20/2015 10:57:31 PM] Janis: ((26))

[3/20/2015 10:58:11 PM] Wynn: ((2.))

[3/20/2015 10:59:04 PM] Nilani: (( 23 ))

[3/20/2015 10:59:52 PM] Canto: She makes a face, and her eyes kinda flash toward a weird cylinder sitting on the altar.

[3/20/2015 11:00:06 PM] Janis: Janis looks over at the cylinder

[3/20/2015 11:00:47 PM] Valerian: ... phylactery? or...

[3/20/2015 11:01:14 PM] Janis: Janis fires an arrow at the cylinder!

[3/20/2015 11:01:26 PM] Canto: Okay! Roll.

[3/20/2015 11:01:26 PM] Janis: ((18))

[3/20/2015 11:01:29 PM] Canto: Hit!

[3/20/2015 11:01:37 PM] Wynn: Wynn lifts her shield to defend, just in case!

[3/20/2015 11:01:44 PM] Janis: ((Do I roll damage on the cylinder?))

[3/20/2015 11:01:47 PM] Canto: Yep.

[3/20/2015 11:01:59 PM] Janis: ((13))

[3/20/2015 11:02:08 PM] Canto: Janis, give me a will save.

[3/20/2015 11:02:21 PM] Janis: ((25))

[3/20/2015 11:03:57 PM] Canto: Janis, you take 6 points of damage as it feels like your brain is on fire.

[3/20/2015 11:04:13 PM] Janis: Janis screams in pain

[3/20/2015 11:04:44 PM] Nilani: Nilani rushes up to Janis and attempts to stabbitystab her.

[3/20/2015 11:05:18 PM] Canto: What's Janis' AC? I'd say she's probably surprised?

[3/20/2015 11:05:38 PM] Janis: ((16 regular, 12 flat-footed))

[3/20/2015 11:05:52 PM] Nilani: (( 11 ))

[3/20/2015 11:06:03 PM] Valerian: Woah, what...

[3/20/2015 11:06:03 PM] Canto: Yep, it misses anyway! We can do initiative now!

[3/20/2015 11:06:19 PM] Janis: ((9))

[3/20/2015 11:06:23 PM] Wynn: ((14.))

[3/20/2015 11:06:33 PM] Janis: ((Well, given my brain is melting, that's probably to be expected))

[3/20/2015 11:06:37 PM] Nilani: (( 13 ))

[3/20/2015 11:06:42 PM] Janis: Bad plan...that was such a bad plan.

[3/20/2015 11:07:37 PM] Canto: Val?

[3/20/2015 11:07:46 PM] Valerian: ((Back, sorry.))

[3/20/2015 11:07:53 PM] Valerian: ((17.))

[3/20/2015 11:08:29 PM] Canto: Round 1:  Drow, Val, Wynn, Cylinder, Nilani, Janis.

[3/20/2015 11:08:47 PM] Canto: The drow woman looks around,a nd turns into mist, and attempts to float away!

[3/20/2015 11:08:54 PM] Canto: Val

[3/20/2015 11:10:21 PM] Valerian: Valerian shoots at the cylinder, unhappily.

[3/20/2015 11:11:07 PM | Edited 11:11:30 PM] Canto: Several metal plates fall off of the cylinder, revelaing a glass cylinder within that. And floating in there, suspended in roiling liquid, is a brain.

[3/20/2015 11:11:15 PM] Canto: Wynn

[3/20/2015 11:11:38 PM] Wynn: Wynn smash!

[3/20/2015 11:12:06 PM] Canto: What are you smashing?

[3/20/2015 11:12:15 PM] Canto: The brain is about 30 feet off.

[3/20/2015 11:12:23 PM] Wynn: ((Only thing I can- brain in a jar. lol I can move 40!))

[3/20/2015 11:12:50 PM] Wynn: ((22.))

[3/20/2015 11:13:04 PM] Canto: That is a hit.

[3/20/2015 11:13:16 PM] Wynn: 11 + 2 fire

[3/20/2015 11:14:01 PM] Canto: You smash at the thick glass cylinder!

[3/20/2015 11:14:11 PM] Canto: It springs a lcouple of leaks.

[3/20/2015 11:15:04 PM] Valerian: One hundred quatloos on that thing being a jerk.

[3/20/2015 11:15:06 PM] Canto: The shambling zombies slowly start making their way towards you guys.

[3/20/2015 11:15:55 PM] Nilani: Nilani 's voice is a little shaky as she says "You won't stop it from reanimating the mighty tarrasque!"

[3/20/2015 11:16:07 PM] Janis: ...what?

[3/20/2015 11:16:08 PM] Canto: Nilani

[3/20/2015 11:16:43 PM] Nilani: Nilani continues trying to stabbitystab Janis.

[3/20/2015 11:17:19 PM] Janis: Nilani's possessed!

[3/20/2015 11:17:23 PM] Nilani: (( 25 ))

[3/20/2015 11:17:29 PM] Canto: Does that hit Janis?

[3/20/2015 11:17:37 PM] Janis: ((Most definitely))

[3/20/2015 11:18:00 PM] Canto: THERE IS NO NILANI ONLY ZUUL

[3/20/2015 11:18:20 PM] Nilani: (( 10 dmg, 3 of which is fire damage. ))

[3/20/2015 11:18:24 PM] Janis: ((I bet you have a very lovely singing voice))

[3/20/2015 11:18:48 PM] Janis: ((One more hit like that, and it's basically curtains for me))

[3/20/2015 11:18:49 PM] Canto: Janis

[3/20/2015 11:18:51 PM] Nilani: Nilani says in a tiny voice, " 'elp."

[3/20/2015 11:19:05 PM] Janis: ((How far away are the zombies?))

[3/20/2015 11:19:16 PM] Canto: Maybe two rounds.

[3/20/2015 11:19:23 PM] Canto: They are not quick.

[3/20/2015 11:19:35 PM] Canto: some of them kinda fall over as they approach.

[3/20/2015 11:19:40 PM] Janis: ((I mean distance wise))

[3/20/2015 11:19:59 PM] Canto: 30-60 feet. There are about 20 of them. Target rich.

[3/20/2015 11:20:01 PM] Valerian: We will, Nilani. Keep fighting it, you're doing very well.

[3/20/2015 11:20:41 PM] Janis: Janis casts entangle on the zombies to slow them down even further ((Reflex save DC 14 for the zombies))

[3/20/2015 11:21:05 PM] Canto: BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA. Yeah, that gets about half of them stuck.

[3/20/2015 11:21:23 PM] Janis: ((Not done yet))

[3/20/2015 11:21:42 PM] Canto: Gonna move?

[3/20/2015 11:21:48 PM] Janis: ((Checking something real quick))

[3/20/2015 11:21:54 PM] Janis: ((Have an idea about Nilani))

[3/20/2015 11:22:30 PM] Janis: ((NEvermind))

[3/20/2015 11:22:40 PM] Janis: Janis five foot steps away from Nilani and ends turn

[3/20/2015 11:23:05 PM] Canto: Round 2:  Drow, Val, Wynn, Brain In A Jar, Nilani, Janis

[3/20/2015 11:23:12 PM] Canto: The drow leaves.

[3/20/2015 11:23:19 PM | Edited 11:23:43 PM] Canto: Val

[3/20/2015 11:24:34 PM] Canto: Val

[3/20/2015 11:24:46 PM] Valerian: Valerian tries to hit the brain again.

[3/20/2015 11:25:08 PM] Valerian: ((Natural 20.))

[3/20/2015 11:25:18 PM] Canto: Roll damage!

[3/20/2015 11:25:53 PM] Valerian: ((12 for an eldritch blast!))

[3/20/2015 11:26:10 PM] Canto: Val pew pews! The brain goes pop.

[3/20/2015 11:26:33 PM] Canto: Nilani kinda crumples like a string-cut puppet or some other cliche metaphor.

[3/20/2015 11:26:45 PM] Valerian: Gods that's disgusting. Why does everything explode?

[3/20/2015 11:26:46 PM] Canto: End combat

[3/20/2015 11:26:54 PM] Wynn: Wynn goes to Nilani.

[3/20/2015 11:27:20 PM | Edited 11:27:33 PM] Canto: The zombies all collapse as well.

[3/20/2015 11:27:23 PM] Wynn: Are you ok, Janis?

[3/20/2015 11:27:23 PM] Janis: Janis goes over to make sure Nilani's ok.

[3/20/2015 11:27:31 PM] Janis: I...I think so.

[3/20/2015 11:28:00 PM] Valerian: I wasn't hit, I just... hope Nilani is all right.

[3/20/2015 11:28:02 PM] Janis: ...I think I've got the hang of Entangle now. That worked much better than...than last time.

[3/20/2015 11:31:43 PM] Wynn: Good enough for me.

[3/20/2015 11:31:46 PM] Janis: ((18))

[3/20/2015 11:31:51 PM] Valerian: At some point remind me to convince somebody to upgrade your portal systems. Or fix them. But thank you. I'm happy enough to walk.

[3/20/2015 11:32:24 PM] Valerian: Valerian sticks with Janis just in case.

[3/20/2015 11:32:25 PM] Canto: Okay! There's a secret compartment in the altar.

[3/20/2015 11:32:41 PM] Janis: Bingo! This looks like something.

[3/20/2015 11:32:44 PM] Canto: Val can tell that it looks like it was trapped, but it's long since discharged and wasn't reset.

[3/20/2015 11:32:58 PM] Janis: Janis opens it

[3/20/2015 11:35:23 PM] Canto: You find a jeweled dagger! Like, gaudily jeweled. You also find a jeweled circlet, you find a horn, and you find a deck of cards.

[3/20/2015 11:35:46 PM] Janis: Coooooool. Also weird. But mostly cool.

[3/20/2015 11:35:57 PM] Janis: Janis brings out the booty to show the others.

[3/20/2015 11:36:36 PM] Wynn: Let's go.

[3/20/2015 11:36:40 PM] Wynn: Wynn starts walking.

[3/20/2015 11:36:55 PM] Janis: Janis follows

[3/20/2015 11:37:10 PM] Valerian: Valerian goes with them.

[3/20/2015 11:37:28 PM] Canto: Nation is floating there!

[3/20/2015 11:37:40 PM] Canto: Nilani can wake up whenever.

[3/20/2015 11:37:51 PM] Valerian: I am incredibly glad to see you.

[3/20/2015 11:37:51 PM] Wynn: Wynn carries Nilani up the ramp!

[3/20/2015 11:37:57 PM] Valerian: Valerian follows them!

[3/20/2015 11:38:47 PM] Canto: You guys wrote down all of the stuff you picked up along the way, right?

[3/20/2015 11:39:01 PM] Wynn: ((it's... in the logs. lol))

[3/20/2015 11:39:22 PM] Nilani: Nilani 's eyes snap open!

[3/20/2015 11:39:26 PM] Nilani: GAH!

[3/20/2015 11:39:28 PM] Janis: GAH!

[3/20/2015 11:39:37 PM] Janis: Janis draws an arrow just in case

[3/20/2015 11:39:48 PM] Nilani: Nilani squirms, flailing wildly and probably being dropped.

[3/20/2015 11:40:00 PM] Wynn: ((or being held TIGHTER))

[3/20/2015 11:40:03 PM] Valerian: Woah, woah.

[3/20/2015 11:40:08 PM] Valerian: Calm down, it's okay. Nation's here.

[3/20/2015 11:40:09 PM] Wynn: Nilani! Calm down.

[3/20/2015 11:40:22 PM] Wynn: Wynn sets her on her feet, but keeps an arm around her to steady her.

[3/20/2015 11:40:29 PM] Valerian: You're okay. We killed it, it's gone and it's not coming back.

[3/20/2015 11:40:40 PM] Janis: Janis holds the arrow on Nilani

[3/20/2015 11:41:37 PM] Nilani: Nilani stands there, shivering for a bit, and then just sort of crouches down and sits in a fetal position for a bit.

[3/20/2015 11:42:13 PM] Janis: Janis unreadies the arrow and puts it back in her quiver

[3/20/2015 11:42:18 PM] Janis: This place sucks.

[3/20/2015 11:42:24 PM] Janis: Let's not come back here.

[3/20/2015 11:42:39 PM] Janis: ...what do you suppose happened to the drow lady?

[3/20/2015 11:42:44 PM] Valerian: Valerian pats Nilani on the shoulder reassuringly.

[3/20/2015 11:42:54 PM] Valerian: The vampire? No idea. Hopefully we won't meet her again.

[3/20/2015 11:43:10 PM] Wynn: If we do, she's not escaping again.

[3/20/2015 11:43:50 PM] Valerian: Just make sure she's awful under her own power. Controlled undead don't have agency.

[3/20/2015 11:44:23 PM] Valerian: ... like controlled people.

[3/20/2015 11:44:32 PM] Wynn: Wynn frowns.

[3/20/2015 11:44:42 PM] Nilani: Nilani curls a bit tighter.

[3/20/2015 11:45:09 PM] Valerian: Nilani, would you like to go to your room, or maybe just the lounge? It ... might be more comfortable there.

[3/20/2015 11:45:28 PM] Nilani: ...

[3/20/2015 11:45:41 PM] Valerian: We can stay with you if you want.

[3/20/2015 11:46:10 PM] Nilani: Yeah, that's... probably better than being partially outside.

[3/20/2015 11:46:24 PM] Valerian: Yes.

[3/20/2015 11:46:36 PM] Wynn: I can even give you a ride if you like.

[3/20/2015 11:46:42 PM] Wynn: Wynn holds her arms out.

[3/20/2015 11:48:02 PM] Nilani: Nilani shakily gets up.

[3/20/2015 11:48:17 PM] Nilani: No, no. I can walk.

[3/20/2015 11:48:36 PM] Wynn: Wynn nods. "Didn't think so."

[3/20/2015 11:48:45 PM] Valerian: Right. We'll stay with you as long as you want. You're safe here.

[3/20/2015 11:48:50 PM] Valerian: Annnd it's not snowing.

[3/20/2015 11:49:03 PM] Canto: It is a very comfy 68 degrees in there!

[3/20/2015 11:49:34 PM] Canto: Gnarmak meets you guys. "... you guys look like you could use some healing."

[3/20/2015 11:49:51 PM] Valerian: Yes, please, if you don't mind.

[3/20/2015 11:49:54 PM] Janis: What gave it away?

[3/20/2015 11:50:05 PM] Canto: Gnarmak:  All the blood.

[3/20/2015 11:50:28 PM] Wynn: ...at least I figured out what Kord gave me.

[3/20/2015 11:50:30 PM] Canto: He starts tossing out heals!

[3/20/2015 11:51:04 PM] Janis: Yeah, the power to kill all the things!

[3/20/2015 11:51:30 PM] Valerian: She had that before, really.
