Gareth was sold into slavery at a young age since he was a bastard child and could not be provided for. He went through childhood with no teaching other than work and work and thats what keeps you fed. This gave the large man a strong sense of resolve and self worth, he was determined to surrvive and if this was his calling so be it, but that wasn't so. As Gareth reached a young adult age he was used for a new purpose, seeing that he was an above average sized man his master decided he could make more money if he made the boy fight. Gareth found himself in many harsh battles and learned he could some how make the ground shake with a slam of his foot. This aided him well and got him noticed one day by a man he would soon call "Master". The mans name was Godfrey and decided that day that a talented boy like Gareth deserved better. Godfrey was growing old and had no family but wanted to pass his teaching on. He bought Gareth freedom and started teaching the boy in the ways of the Psionic Warrior. The two seen a great many things together and enjoyd there adventures, however this was short lived as Godfrey contracted an illness that they both sensed may be the end. With money getting short Gareth knew only one way to make a living and had heard of this great city were fighters would fight because they wanted to, and not because they were made to, and a simple commonner could amass fame and fortune. Gareth never believed this while fighting in the pits, but decided to travel ther and see for himself along with Godfrey. Now they are here and Gladdius is there new home..

Erithmu 06-22-07, 11:42 PM	Nest was talking with the servant in charge of the traveling arrangements. Apparently Cyra was never seen except in the results that she produced. Nest was looking at pair of psions that were discussing the travel route. From what she could gather is that they were not using Dimensional travel as non of the members could transport the entire party, so they were going to travel by cart. Nest hated slow travel, but looking at the cart she was glad that it wasn't as bad as it could have been, they could have only gotten horses. Raskos was in the doorway to his office talking to a Half-Giant that Nest had not met. The Half Giant appeared to be a rather sizable warrior and Nest did not want to be on the other end of his sword. The pair came over and Nest nodded at Raskos. "Cyra is very good at what she does, She picked a very direct route through Lakagin, then up the trade route to Fhork's Bridge where we enter the mountains. From there it will get interesting. Who is this? RP is open.
Malither76 06-24-07, 03:42 PM	Forgive my rudeness, I am Gareth "Called the Irontower". and you are? Gareth extends his hand.
Erithmu 06-24-07, 07:34 PM	Nest takes Gareth's hand and shakes it, the woman's hand rather dwarfed by the half-giant's, Nest Freemark of the Tegzett Enclave to the east of Gladius. It is a pleasure to meet your acquaintance. You will probably meet Wraith later, he is rather shy sometimes and doesn't like to come out and play. So if you see a small ball of light floating around my head, that is my familiar.
Malither76 06-26-07, 02:27 AM	The pleasure is mine, so your coming along with us? I will keep you safe. along with the old man. I hope this artifact will help to find my masters killer. Then finally I can have some peace of mind. Gareth smiles very wide, he shows a little insecurity in talking to the lady. He's never been good at it and usually has alcohol aid in loosening him up.
SauroGrenom 06-26-07, 11:15 PM	The approaches the small group. He wears his traveling cloak and carries a small pack. I see that Gareth has introduced himself. He is a new member of our Consortium and a stout warrior who wishes to learn what he can from this artifact of information. Nest here is a friend of Owen. We are hoping to find some information about the expedition. Looking over the materials...I see that Cyra has everything here. Her report is very detailed, and I expect that every foreseeable need has been met. It appears we are ready to begin travels. There is a long road ahead, shall we begin?
Erithmu 06-27-07, 12:35 AM	Nest nodded, "It will be nice to travel with someone who will make the brigands think twice about attacking .." Nest looked down at the sheet of paper in front of her. "...A daughter and her 'Godfather.' "Either way we should get moving, we should be able to make Lakagin by nightfall. Is it just the three of us?" Both of you are still set as ready for the 20th, which is why I haven't moved ahead very quickly. Also ... I'm wondering when Yaurl is going to make his appearance.
Malither76 06-27-07, 04:25 AM	I was waiting for Gareth's bracers of divine power to be ok'ed in the black market, Sauro said they would be ok in a PM, so I will go ahead and ready and link it after his ok post goes up. Brigands?, I don't think two talented in the arts as you and the old man have to worry about Brigands. No I am here for myself.. Selfish as that may sound its true. I can not rest until I finish what I started with when I took that mans arm, He killed my master and he will be killed in return, but don't let my vendetta scare you.. I will give my life to protect either of you as that is who I am.. I may cary selfish motives but I am anything but that when it comes to battle. I only hope to prove my self to both of you.. Gareth comes across very much as a young man who needed the approval of a father type, and that was taken from him. No matter what he does he puts 110% into it, in hopes he earns others approval. It was a lot of fun for him in his first campaign becoming close friends with the others. I hope he doesn't come across as whinny though. :)
SauroGrenom 06-27-07, 09:56 AM	Yep this is it. I posted the blackmarket, and updated Raskos to be ready now for this week. So I think we can get moving. This weekend is going to be busy or me. I have a minor surgery on my hand tomorrow. That may effect my typing ability. Also on Saturday, I'm moving to a new place. That's probably going o get complicated for a while. I think we'll have the utilities worked out, and there won't be any interruption in the internet (I hope). I can probably just "borrow" some random neighbor's unsecured wireless network if necessary. But there could be a hickup. The real pain is going to be trying to move into a new apartment with no right hand for carrying things. The three of us will be it. Oh, well my hound Yaurl will be meeting us outside. He is an otherworldly hound of infernal decent. Although he cannot speak, he understands Infernal and is more cunning than any animal. He is about as dimwitted as a child, but loyal to me and well behaved.
Malither76 06-27-07, 04:41 PM	Then let us be off. The sooner we find the artifact the sooner I get revenge.
SauroGrenom 06-27-07, 06:12 PM	When they go outside, a large hound stands atop a nearby building and it leaps down to the street below joining Raskos. It's coat is black, and jaws tremendous. It gazes at you all with glowing eyes. This is my hound Yaurl. His eyes and ears are sharp, and he is always alert at night. He will always follow my instruction and protect us. Raskos speaks to the creature in infernal, and it sniffs his companions... Technically yeth hounds fear the light of the sun. So I suppose we are either traveling by night, or we make some kind of accommodations for Yaurl. He can catch up to us each night, or we can take him in a covered crate in the cart, or we can ignore this aspect of the base creature (since he's a cohort and can presumably overcome his fears).
Erithmu 06-27-07, 06:20 PM	Cyra's travel plans were a fourteen day round trip with well mediated breaks. It seemed that the spy master was sending a few of the Consortium's eyes and ears back out into the world to gain information. For Raskos, Gareth, and Nest the trip was rather uneventful to Fhork's Bridge and the accomadations were nice through most of the trip. Wraith did not make an appearance except at night to provide help in lighting the camp and stayed away from Yaurl. Fhork's Bridge was the last section of the journey that could be made via Horse and cart. The rest would have to be done on foot, although the way was well paved the natural wildlife was not friendly. ----*****---- The Morning meal was over and the Three humanoid members and singular hound began to travel north towards the mountains. It seemed that there was a festival in town that had drawn a rather large group of travelers. The crowds made travel difficult through the city and many Bards were showing their skill. One of them seemed to take an interest in Nest. "My Lady, It seems you have such charming company, but neither of them seem to be interested in a find conversation. Perhaps you might favor me with a kiss and an evening of fine food? I doubt that you will find much conversation in a brute, and while our elders are wise, they do not always focus on the needs of others ..." "I think not..." Nest moved to step around the man, but he moved to block her. "Then perhaps just your name?" Gareth and Raskos were a few steps ahead of the conversation, but it seemed that the man would not take no for an answer, he had not turned angry or violent, but the mentalists could tell that he was getting there.
SauroGrenom 06-27-07, 06:31 PM	Raskos barks an order to Yaurl (in infernal) telling him to be alert before Raskos turns to addresses the young man, Although charming, your advances are unwanted. Please don't make a scene, and leave the lady to her own business. She is under our protection, and we cannot allow you to inconvenience her.
Erithmu 06-27-07, 06:53 PM	The young man turned around to face Raskos. The man sized up the elder elf still being interposed between Nest and Raskos. "I assure you this is no inconvenience, in my culture you pursue women until they fall for you, however, if you insist may I at least play a song for the lady before she is taken from my sight?" The man takes one step back and casts a spell that summons a flute to his hands, Raskos easily identifies the spell as a bardic cantrip.
Malither76 06-27-07, 07:27 PM	The lady said we are busy... So forgive us friend your song will have to entertain the ears of others, we have business to attend to. Gareth was thinking his business involved heavy drinking if they were to stay the night.
Erithmu 06-27-07, 07:31 PM	The man seemed to persist ... "Please sir, just allow me to give you the title of the song, and let the lady decide." Raskos looked over his shoulder and found Yaurl with his attention focused in Gareth's general area, sniffing the air. Yaurl took a few steps in that direction.
Malither76 06-27-07, 07:37 PM	Look Bard!! I told you nicely, don't mistake my tone for kindness. I have slain many a man in my troubled life and I know of the charms your types music can do. If I hear one note I'm afraid I will make you choke on that flute. Gareth will ready to start a grapple if he plays music.
Erithmu 06-27-07, 11:33 PM	The Bard backs away from Gareth keeping the flute well away from his lips. "Fine fine, I won't play..." Sauro mentioned something about having a rough weekend, so if you want to cross post for each other some basic actions it would be helpful in the grand scheme of things.
SauroGrenom 06-27-07, 11:56 PM	Raskos is suspicious. Draw and cast one of the scrolls of See Invisibility. I suspect a trap of some kind. Since Yaurl is sniffing around, there could be some kind of hidden attacker about to put a blade between Gareth's shoulder blades. If a combat breaks out, Raskos will hit the bard with a blindness spell (unless threatened in some other way).
Erithmu 06-28-07, 12:18 AM	Raskos drew his scroll as the Bard was talking, at first he saw nothing, and then as a delayed reaction the spell kicked in with a human standing next to Gareth with a short sword drawn. "... But perhaps I'll tell you 'The Dirge of Godfrey and his apprentice Gareth.'" Gareth blinked as Nest suddenly opened her eyes wide. A loud yell from behind her drew her attention as three humans came out of the crowd, a general scream came about from the crowd in her direction. She steeled herself as they came on.

Malither76 06-28-07, 12:58 AM	Gareth will do a 7pp expansion as a swift action, activate boots of speed free action, 2pp charge deepcrystal free action, will then roll 3points into power attack and will full attack bard, releasing focus on first 2 attacks for deep impact. so attacks are +10/+10 touch then +5 normal, damage is 4d6+2d6+4d6acid+16, Attack 2 damage is 4d6+16, attack 3 is 4d6+16 if hit. This assuming we get attacked or Gareth is still alive after death attack :)
SauroGrenom 06-28-07, 01:01 AM	Raskos calls out his warning as he backs up and casts Hideous Laughter on the Rogue. Then cast Blindness on the Bard. Yaurl moves closer and attempts to bite the laughing rogue.
Erithmu 06-28-07, 01:28 AM	Raskos sees that Gareth will not be able to react in time and lashes out the mind of the rogue who drops his weapon and begins to roll on the ground laughing. Without missing a beat he fires of a second spell that blinds the bard just as the bard finishes his own magic that makes Gareth land on the ground. Yaurl moves up and finds the rogue on the ground and sinks his teeth into him. Nest manages to cast a spell that causes the three men charging her to turn and look at each other for a moment. It is during this moment that Gareth pivots from his prone position and brings his sword around as he grows in size. With a single swing he cleaves the Bard in two. The other three men turn to flee, not wanting part of the giant. Yaurl finishes off the laughter with a few more bites. Surprise round: 20 - Raskos: HL on Rogue (Will: fail) 16 - Rogue: Laughs invisibly Round 1: 20 - Raskos: Blindness on Bard (Fort: Fail) 19 - Bard: Blinded Casts Grease where Gareth was standing (Rflx: 12 fail) falls prone 16 - Yaurl: moves to where the laughing rogue is and attacks (atk: 26 Invis miss: pass dmg 18) 16 - Rogue: laughs in pain 16 - Gareth: manifests a swift expansion and stands and attacks the Bard (DI + PW + DW + PA 5: 12 hit dmg: 52 kills) Round 2+ Yaurl finishes off the rogue ... Notes: Well that was sudden, Sauro you got all the rolls to make this an easy fight. The Rogue/Asn had non-detect up and your scroll rolled a nat 20 on the check. Then you win init and wreck shop.

Malither76 06-28-07, 02:16 PM	since when do they not cary across, dissolving weapon has always carried over here. These were no strangers, I'm sorry I endangered the two of you. They were obviously here after me, he know my masters name. They must have gotten word that I was back and looking for them again. Thank you for the assistance. Gareth will take a moment to refocus himself and psicrystal.
Erithmu 06-28-07, 05:19 PM	Nest waved a hand to put off the apology, "You need not worry about it, however I am concerned that someone knew where you would be and only a few days after you joined the traveling caravan. There could be a leak in your spymaster's system. Either way we should get moving to avoid 'delays' Raskos nodded and spoke in Infernal to Yaurl who joined the group in a quick departure. ----*****---- Moving on ... The mountain travel was difficult at times but often the path was well marked. Wraith made an appearance and along with Yaurl provided aerial views of the paths looking for obstructions but also more assassins. Shortly after midday the group reached the mountain cavern that was marked with draconic markings. Nest quickly disabled the basic wards and stepped inside. The rest of the group followed. The cavern held a rough magical and psionic resonance that all three members could recognize relative to their internal powers. Raskos felt both and could feel the power that the artifact produced. That is odd, I haven't felt that power in this cavern before. The only time that I have it was ... in use ... Nest let the last words trail from her lips as she came to the realization. Any long prebuffs? These are all subject to a time roll (and I might roll it just to keep moving) but I need to get this quest done. I know Sauro is on spotty connection and might not be posting much. I'm pretty sure that was done as people were keeping DW charges across multiple fights. It was done away with around the time of the 3FC installation. Mostly as a tracking thing and also to prevent someone from winning their last fight and then dropping the rest of their pp into a maxed DW and then having it carry over. It is mostly a balance thing. Rules: Prebuff section: here
SauroGrenom 06-28-07, 08:34 PM	Raskos prepares himself with a protection before continuing further. Any manner of creature could be using the artifact here. Ready yourselves. Had some hand surgery today. Right hand is totally messed up. Can barely type. It hurts. Raskos uses inertial armor. Overchannel with with 7pp, for a long duration and +7 AC. Then regain focus. If we have a moment before combat, Raskos will use Mirror Image scroll. Yaurl can quaff a potion of mage armor when we think that a combat is imminent.
Malither76 06-28-07, 09:57 PM	I may not be very smart but by the look on your face it would seem they are using the device to track me. which means they know we are here. We must be careful. Gareth will use 3pp's to put dissolving weapon on his sword.
Erithmu 07-02-07, 05:49 PM	The party continues on some distance. Nest knows the way and is in the lead with Yaurl shortly behind her. Rounding a corner a sudden crack sounds through the cavern as what seems to be a cave-in takes place. Nest gets pushed forward and Yaurl backwards. The sound continues and ceases to halt as it appears behind them now. A sudden cracking in the wall reveals a rather large creature causing the trouble. It appears to be a gem formed golem but Raskos recognizes it's true nature as a Psion Killer. Nest seems to have some of her own problems on the other side of the debris as Raskos hears the sounds of a Feeblemind spell. They had their own problems right now... Round 1: Gareth - ??? Yaurl - ??? Psion Killer - ??? Raskos - ??? |xy|A|B|C|D|E|F|G|H|I|J|K|L|M|N|O|P|Q|R| S|T|U|V|W|X|Y| | 0|*|*|*|*|*|*|*|*|*|*|*|*|*|*|*|*|*|*|*| *|*|*|*|*|*| | 1|*|*|*|*|*|*|*|*|*|*|*|*|*|*|*|*|*|*|*| *|*|*|*|*|*| | 2|*|*|*|*|*|*|*|*|*|*|*|*|*|*|*|*|*|*|*| *|*|*|*|*|*| | 3| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |*|*|*|*|*|*|*| | 4| | | | | | | | | | |*| | | | | | | | | |*|*|*|*|*| | 5| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |*| | | | |*|*|*|*|*| | 6|*|*| | | | | | | |*| | | | | | | | | | | |*|*|*|*| | 7|*|*| | | |P|P| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |*|*|*| | 8|*|*| | | |P|P| | | | | | | | | | | | | |*| | |*|*| | 9|*|*| | | | | | | | | | |*| | | | | | | | | | |*|*| |10|*|*|*| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |*|*| |11|*|*|*|*| | | |*| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |*|*| |12|*|*|*| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |*|*| |13|*|*| | | | | | | | | | | |*|*| | | | |*| | | |*|*| |14|*|*| | | |*| | | | |*| | | | | | | | | | | | |*|*| |15|*|*| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |*|*| |16|*|*| | | | | |*|*| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |*|*| |17|*|*| | | | | |*|*| | | | | | | | | | | | | |*|*|*| |18|*|*| | | | | | |*| | | | | | | | | | | | |*|*|*|*| |19|*|*| | | | | | | | | | | | |*| | | |G| | |*|*|*|*| |20|*|*| | |*| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |*|*|*|*| |21|*|*|*| | | | | | | | |*| | | | |R| | |Y|D|D| | | | |22|*|*|*| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |D|D| |N| | |23|*|*|*|*| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |D|D| | | | |24|*|*|*|*|*|*|*|*|*|*|*|*|*|*|*|*|*|*| *|*|*|*|*|*|*| D = Debris
Malither76 07-03-07, 03:56 AM	Gareth will move to N21 and do a 3pp animal affinity strength. Be careful here old man, I may go invisible to get an alpha strike in, if you can whittle it down a little that will help.
SauroGrenom 07-05-07, 04:58 PM	Raskos's mind races as he considers the ways in which this creature can destroy all of them. Knowing his own attack are rather limited, he deduces that mobility and strategy will carry the day. Yaurl, follow me. We will flank so the warrior can do his work. Raskos will activate his boots of flying and move to the east. Yaurl will activate the tattoo of force screen and follow. In future rounds, Yaurl will move to the east and fight defensively try to setup a flank for Gareth to charge with his alpha strike. Raskos will try to soften it up with crystal shard. Overchannel the first one (7pp) using psionic focus. Stay mobile and at the limit of the crystal shard range. If he gets into trouble, invisibility is the way out. Yaurl can delay till after Raskos, so Raskos can get in a clear shot with his first crystal shard. Against the touch AC, Gareth has a good chance to hit. I'd advise against using psionic weapon on the alpha strike. Rather use the deep impact twice, and combine it with power attack, for more damage potential. Also don't waste time with lots of buffs. I crunched the numbers, and you cannot expect to down this thing in one hit. Your average damage with maxed buffs and everything into the alpha strike is about 60, then apply the DR and your power attack and compare to the 120hp we've got to chew through. This thing has an area dispel that goes off every round in a burst. So most buffs will be lost rather quickly, and the are likely to be going down as you bring them up. Conserve the pp for deep crystal to help penetrate the DR round after round. Deep crystal cannot be dispelled. Yaurl can only last 1 or 2 rounds in melee alone with this thing. But if Gareth spends two rounds doing the deep crystal-deep impact-power attack thing, and yaurl flanks biting with his psionic focus, and raskos can get in a few crystal shards, then we can chew this thing up before it has a chance to take any of us out.
Malither76 07-05-07, 10:11 PM	Gareths next actions are, drink potion of invis, activate bracer's of divine favor, do 1pp expansion. after this move to set up charge, do 9pp psionic lion charge activate boots of speed and put 2pp into deep crystal, use focus on second two swings and full power attack, may get lucky and hit with first swing. Attack 1 is at 12+2animal affinity,+2 charge, +1haste, +3divinefavor, +2 invis, -6 power attack= +16 against normal AC hopefully will get +2 more for flank, Damage is 6d6+4d6acid+34-10DR Attack 2 is +14 vs touch damage is same as above if attack 1 missed, if attack 1 hit damage is 4d6+34-10DR Attack 3 is +9 vs touch damage is 4d6+34-10DR Sauro you were a little off in your calculations, if all 3 of these hit with average damage its dead, If I wanted to truly get nasty I would drink potion of fly for diving charge and really kill it out right. But this along with your help should make quick work of it.
SauroGrenom 07-06-07, 11:59 AM	Well if you are going to spend 4 rounds buffing, then I'm not going to send Yaurl in there to die in 2 rounds. We'll just have to evade and try to use the rocks and obstructions to slow the creature enough to stay out of melee. This is a cave, so the ceiling isn't likely to be high enough to allow for a fly away strategy. Also this thing casts Dispel Magic at a 10th level with a 30' radius burst centered on itself once per round as a free action. That's almost the whole area of the cave. During the time you spend buffing, we are almost certain to loose some of the buffs (perhaps invisibility).
Erithmu 07-06-07, 10:03 PM	Gareth moves first and begins to manifest powers as Raskos clicks his heels together and plays a game of cat and mouse. Yaurl remains mostly out of combat as Raskos knows that his companion would not last an encounter with the monster's fists. Gareth remains hidden for the most part as Raskos using his mobility is afforded three shots with his mental abilities. Gareth on the other hand watches as each power that he manifests gets dispelled due to the proximity of the creature. It is only at the last moment as his invisibility fails rather than his size increase that he steps in and with two quick strokes finishes the creature off. The crystal beast cloven in two Gareth is quick to use his current size to begin to remove the rubble. From the sounds on the other side it seems that the battle is over one way or the other. In under a minute Gareth has moved the large pieces of rubble away and finds Nest in one piece looking at a drooling drow.

Malither76 07-07-07, 12:13 AM	Gareth takes another moment to regain his focus, as well as manifesting dissolving weapon back onto his blade. Looks like you were right old man, I wasted a little too much time, and didn't keep range well enough, forgive me as I still make rash decisions in my youth, My intentions were not to put you in danger.
Erithmu 07-08-07, 12:18 PM	Judging from the drow it seemed like someone knew about this place as well. Raskos muttered as they didn't have a 'cognitive' captive to question. Checking his equipment they found a spellbook and a few loose notes written in what appeared to be Drow, but none of it was intellegable. Continuing on they saw only further signs that the Drow had been here, They reached what Nest stated was the chamber to the scrying artifact. It sounded like at least one someone was inside. A female voice. Waiting for Sauro to Prebuff Raskos with anything. If you want to prebuff something outside the doors you are welcome to take that 'risk'.
SauroGrenom 07-08-07, 04:03 PM	Don't worry Gareth. I wasn't in any danger as long as the boots allowed me to fly beyond the creature's reach. Prepare yourself some drow caster is in the chamber beyond. Raskos draws a scroll and casts a quick illusion that makes him fade from view. Draw scroll of mirror image, and cast invisibility.
Erithmu 07-08-07, 04:13 PM	Raskos casts his spell while drawing a scroll. As he disappears there is movement inside the room. It appears that the spellcasting was heard through the walls. There could be a second person within the halls. Mal any single ability you want to use? Do you want to open the doors?
Malither76 07-09-07, 01:13 AM	Will draw and use stone of expansion. Sounds like they know we are here.Gareth will open the door.
Erithmu 07-09-07, 09:31 AM	Gareth opens the door to see a woman standing in some surprise at what appears to be the artifact. It appears to be a glass floor that is built into the ground. She scowls as she looks at Gareth and Yaurl, not knowing that Raskos is invisible. But she isn't the only one in the room ... Gareth feels a sharp pain across his chest as a second drow appears directly infront of him with a Crystal sword finishing it's downward slashing movement. Bringing the sword around again the sword flares to life but the Male drow fails to bring the sword around for a second strike putting way too much energy into the power rather than accuracy. Raskos watches this happen as his team acts...

Treat the stairs as the doors that you just came in.
SauroGrenom 07-09-07, 05:13 PM	Raskos seeks to disable the dangerous caster immediately, and hopes that Gareth can handle the warrior for a few moments at least. Raskos moves aside quickly skirting past Yaurl before casting a cloud of stench that engulfs the drow woman. Knowing what he must do, Yaurl charges forward delivering the most powerful attack he can muster with his bite. Raskos moves east (can move though allies square w/o penalty) and casts Stinking Cloud to cover the area north of the woman and including her but not the square to the south of her. Yaurl will charge and use psionic focus to bite the woman drow. He should be able to hit her without getting into the stinking cloud's AoE.
Erithmu 07-09-07, 05:55 PM	Raskos summons a cloud of yellow vapor. At the same time that he does the glass seems to go dark but still gives off enough illumination to see. Behind him the sounds of multiple drow come from the hallway. He looks back and sees Nest working more of her magic. "There are a few more out here, I'll take care of them." He quickly identifies a confusion spell coming from her mouth and smiles before turning his attention back to the two warriors standing toe to toe. Round 1: Man: Psi Lions charge + Charge Gareth (atks: 24,9 dmg: 56 Mass Dmg: 26 (Pass)) -- (Full info: PA: 6, DW prebuffed, DC, Psi Lions charge (+6dmg), Deep Impact on both attacks, atks at: +8,+1) Raskos: Move East 30ft and cast stinking cloud (Fort: 11 fail) Yaurl: Charge (atk 31: dmg 16) Gareth: ???

Malither76 07-09-07, 09:03 PM	If you can keep the woman busy I got this little one old man...YOU should practice more, now you will regret not killing me in your first attack.Doesn't look like I will be able to use PP's on much else so do a 9pp grip of iron for +8 to grapples, activate boots of speed and use 3 attacks to grapple, pin, then damage, then keep him pinned and damage over next rounds. Also keep him from talking. If for some reason something happens like getting hit with a spell feel free to do a 9pp vigor. Also go ahead and keep boots active for 3 attacks around 1 to pin and the other 2 to damage.
Erithmu 07-09-07, 10:21 PM	Hurm ... just realized something ... that 9 hits due to Gareth's expansion ... that may change your actions Mal. Round 1: Man: Psi Lions charge + Charge Gareth (atks: 24,9 dmg: 56 Mass Dmg: 26 (Pass) 33 dmg) -- (Full info: PA: 6, DW prebuffed, DC, Psi Lions charge (+6dmg), Deep Impact on both attacks, atks at: +8,+1) Raskos: Move East 30ft and cast stinking cloud (Fort: 11 fail) Yaurl: Charge (atk 31: dmg 16) Gareth: ??? (Grapple or use Vigor?) Woman: Moves out of fog (5 rnds) Round 2: Man: ??? Raskos: ??? Yaurl: ??? Gareth: ??? Woman: nauseated Raskos 29/29 Yaurl 47/47 (no Focus) Gareth 1/90 (DW-G.Sword)(Expanded) Woman xx-16 (nauseated 6) (Buff 1) (Buff 2) Man xx
Malither76 07-09-07, 10:52 PM	Yeah that makes a difference, do a 9pp vigor for the 45hp's take a 5' step away if possible if not manifest defensively. Could use a little help here old man the dark elf cut me good, maybe you could make him hold still or something
Erithmu 07-09-07, 11:29 PM	Gareth steps backwards, an unusual maneuver for the Stout warrior, but he was greatly wounded. Halfway between the hallway and the scrying room he saw what Nest was dealing with. It seemed that there were about 6 Drow guards that were fighting each other, Nest had disappeared from sight, but judging from an illuminated area he could guess that she was watching from a cloak of invisibility. A quick glance told him that they were the new recruits and that their Captain was the one that had delivered the two slashes across his chest. Gareth steeled himself for another assault as the Captain grew in size to match his own and then struck out with his sword, hitting once. The battle was flowing oddly as each side had suffered a major set back. Round 1: Man: Psi Lions charge + Charge Gareth (atks: 24,9 dmg: 56 Mass Dmg: 26 (Pass) 33 dmg) -- (Full info: PA: 6, DW prebuffed, DC, Psi Lions charge (+6dmg), Deep Impact on both attacks, atks at: +8,+1) Raskos: Move East 30ft and cast stinking cloud (Fort: 11 fail) Yaurl: Charge (atk 31: dmg 16) Gareth: Steps SE and manifests vigor (9pp) Woman: Moves out of fog (5 rnds) Round 2: Man: Swift Expansion (no AoO vs swift actions) + Full attack Gareth (Atks: 11,22 Dmg 13) Raskos: ??? Yaurl: ??? Gareth: ??? Woman: nauseated Raskos 29/29 29pp Yaurl 47/47 (no Focus) Gareth 1/90 13pp (DW-G.Sword)(Expanded)(+32 Vigor) Woman xx-16 (nauseated 6) (Buff 1) (Buff 2) Man xx (Expansion 8) I must say this is one of the more interesting battles I have run. I hope you guys are having fun ... I am.
SauroGrenom 07-10-07, 12:41 AM	Yaurl continues to tear at the woman drow, while Raskos turns to his wounded ally. He shouts out Step back Gareth!, and then utters his arcane words and gestures. A mass of magical webbing flies forward and the heavy strands of webbing fill part of the room rolling over the drow warrior. Malither, These drow have a SR of about 20. For Raskos's CL of 5, that's a problem. He has only a 20% chance of success at getting a spell through that. Also they are elves, and this warrior is a wisdom caster. So his will save is bound to be descent. Especially considering that most of Raskos' save or die spells are will saves and enchantments and telepathy effects (elven racial bonus). So as GM I would give this guy empty mind to have him with a descent chance to survive into round 2. Given those factors, he's probably got about a 90% chance of surviving a hold person or ego whip. Perhaps a bit lower chance of surviving blindness. The other tricks in Raskos's bag that don't suffer SR are Web, TK Thrust Arrows and Crystal Shard. So Raskos can cast a web to cover the drow, but not Gareth. Yaurl will continue to bite away at the caster, and with his superior movement speed, he should have no trouble getting in all the attacks he can normally get in a round.
Erithmu 07-10-07, 01:00 AM	With a quick gesture Raskos immoblizes the drow Captain with strands of webs. Gareth however is face with the inability to get further into the room unless he goes through the Captain. Round 2: Man: Swift Expansion (no AoO vs swift actions) + Full attack Gareth (Atks: 11,22 Dmg 13) Raskos: Casts Web placing the warrior in the area of effect (Rflx: 16) Move anywhere? Yaurl: charges the woman (atk: 1!) Gareth: ???

Malither76 07-10-07, 03:10 AM	Nice work old man.. Let me see if I can put an end to this annoyance. Gareth activates boots of speed puts 2pp into sword releases focus for deep impact full power attack 6d6+22+4d6acid swing one, deep impact swing 2 with another 2pp channeled 6d6+22, swing 3 normal 4d6+22. Thats how its done elf...
Erithmu 07-10-07, 11:09 AM	Gareth gets overconfident and swings wildly connecting only once. The elf feels the pain as Gareth finishes his attacks ... "Apparently No...." A flash of energy sparks from the blade and the Captain falls limp Round 2: Man: Swift Expansion (no AoO vs swift actions) + Full attack Gareth (Atks: 11,22 Dmg 13) Raskos: Casts Web placing the warrior in the area of effect (Rflx: 16) Move anywhere? Yaurl: charges the woman (atk: 1!) Gareth: As above (Atks: 9,12,10 1 hit:58 dmg Massive:22) Forgot the +1 from boots, min dmg kills Woman: nauseated Round 3 Raskos: ??? Yaurl: Gareth: Woman: Nauseated Raskos 29/29 29pp Yaurl 47/47 (no Focus) Gareth 1/90 13pp (DW-G.Sword)(Expanded)(+7 Vigor) Woman xx-16 (nauseated 6) (Buff 1) (Buff 2) Man xx-33 (Expansion 8)
SauroGrenom 07-10-07, 11:17 AM	Raskos steps forward, draws forth his tremendous arrows, and with a focused force of mind sends them flying toward the drow woman. Raskos moves closer, TK Thrust arrows at her. Yaurl bites, assuming she survives that attack.
Malither76 07-10-07, 03:20 PM	Gareth will move to intercept and help finish off the woman while she is sick, if able use rest of pp's for a psionic lion charge to finish her. Well old man I will see how Nest is doing, she had a few low ranked guards outside. See if you can figure out how this thing works, Looks to me like its not movable unless some great magic is used.
Erithmu 07-10-07, 06:38 PM	Raskos summons mental energy firing the five arrows he carries at the drow woman. Four hit as one flies wide, this however gives Yarul the opening he needs as he charges in delivering a hit that makes the woman scream through her nauseated state. Gareth closes in circumnavigating the webs. While Yaurl bite bounces off some unknown screen, Gareth lands a hit knocking the woman into unconsciousness and adding two more before her limp body hits the floor. Outside it seems as if the last of the guards are finishing killing each other. The doors to the scrying chamber close without any means of operation, before Nest fades into view. "Wraith will join us when he is finished." Round 3 Raskos: (TK Thrust: 4 hits dmg:44) (Psicraft: yea .. she had vigor up) Yaurl: Charge (20! confirm 22 dmg 23) Gareth: Double moves to base (no charge due to web) Woman: Nauseated Round 4: Raskos waits Yaurl (atk: miss) Gareth Full +BoS (3 hits 100 dmg total) Raskos 29/29 29pp Yaurl 47/47 (no Focus) Gareth 1/90 13pp (DW-G.Sword)(Expanded)(+7 Vigor) Woman xx-38 (nauseated 6) (Buff 1) (Buff 2)-45
SauroGrenom 07-10-07, 10:49 PM	Raskos looks at the drow woman and tries to determine if he recognizes her as being a member of the drow clan he has tangled with in the past. I've some experience with the drow. About a year ago, there was some trouble with them, and it seams they keep appearing. I wish we could know what this one was scrying... I assume we are done now officially, but I cannot recall the official schedule. Are we a week ahead on the official end date?
Erithmu 07-10-07, 11:17 PM	Raskos observes the drow as dismisses his spells in the room to allow for a more through search of the room. Nest seems to navigate her way around the scrying room well. Most of the walls are lined with half filled bookshelves. "There might be a way. Common scrying simply has a focus, but this is a little stronger. In addition to functioning as a scrying spell the creators of this artifact attached the ability to send verbal communication through the portal. I have heard that the Druids in Gladius have a similar location but it does require druidic magic to use. This is powered by any form of magic: Druidic, Arcane, Divine, and Psionic. Thus the creators each added their own 'touch' to the artifact." Raskos took a moment to detect the auras on the artifact and was surprised to find almost every single school of magic embedded within the glass. Nest went over to a corner and found a book that she wanted from the shelves and began to skim through it. Wraith suddenly appeared in the room and flew over to Nest and then disappeared within her clothing. Nest continued, "In addition to looking one can have a conversation with someone across great distances, sort of like a telepathic mental link but more like the conversation you and I are having presently. "Now ... I have only done this once so it will either work, or ... it won't." Nest began reading words in draconic and the crystal floor lit up. Suddenly the view shifted and a human male face appeared, and had what must have been his side of the conversation ... "So you wish to make a deal?" Short pause "Well I am guessing by the fact that I am talking to a floating image of your face that you are in possession of the Scrying glass?" Longer pause "You know what my terms are, neither of us have had success in our progress. Yours on setting up the ability to move into Gladius, and ours ... well he is only one person but he fights well." Very Long pause "Well if your information is correct I will have two of my best go after him." The man turns around and looks behind him. As he does two men cross behind him one is familiar ... the Bard. The other Raskos recognizes as the invisible assassin, although Gareth and Nest didn't see him. "What makes you think that you can resist the old one? He has many skills and what seems to be many friends." Short pause "I think this deal could work out. I will expect to hear from you soon." The scrying crystal fades the man's face out and glows softly. You are a week ahead so we did a 3 week quest in 2 weeks and still had some fun RP ... I'm happy w/ that. Rewards are up.
Malither76 07-10-07, 11:56 PM	what was that, I thought we killed the bard, is this a conversation stored in the disk, it can actually save and recall things like this? I am confused.
