Constructe 11-27-06, 12:32 AM	Rules: You need not band up, be pals, or fight with one another. You appear taken from your place of origin and plopped into some other world. You can meet people, learn stuff, etc. Starting characters must be believable. You can not learn new spells, must polymorph into stuff you've had experience with. If you polymorph into something you read it appears a bit unreal and may lack some functions you want. You can not play pun pun cross buff games. See the DM about other cracked rule modifications. You can, however, be and become anything that is official. Please get approval by the DM. You can not learn new levels or get new spells etc. without it being in game. That is you must find the appropriate trainer or someone that will teach you the move you want, someone with that spell you want to learn, etc. I tend to reject unbelievable mini-maxed characters. It's pushing it to have 3 classes by level 8. You may be lower than level 8 and keep or use the exp for other things. You have 30,000 exp to start and 27,000 gp. In fact, real world experiences may actually lead you to be a totally different character than you thought you may be. You may accumulate a lot of experience points before you actually choose to level since it may take a long time to find something worthy of leveling for. Also not all merchants have what you want so sometimes it serves to pay an overpriced cost for something good or meet a nice artificer. Most players become quite valuable for getting what you actually want. There is a total, all encompassing plot but you probably won't unravel it until way up in epic levels if you are lucky. If not, you will most likely be dead. If you quit you become a NPC and probably die horribly. I accept up to the golden number of 120 players at any 1 time. How will I do it? I have a lot of feats and accept DM fill ins. Warning: Some players may act like this is a arena and can do so if it is all in character and are not evil getting giant rocks dropped on them. However, do not complain if you find it impossible to mini-max or advance fast in the more real world this land provides. You may also run into things way beyond your level. Fighting in such cases usually means you may not be as bright as your ability scores imply.:rofl: You may post as often as you like. Message me (Constructe) to join up. Send your character sheets. If you use something strange please send me the reference info (Book and page, or clip of the rules) You may be a legal monster, etc. The DM has the right to reject monsters and other things it sees as unfit or pushing the bounds and/or to limit it with a rule. We will start with 12 people placed on a map that would take 250 days to cross by horseback if it were actually all land. So there are plenty of beasties and civilizations to conquor if you think of yourself as Napoleon or something. Of course, you must discover it first.
FruitOfTheShroom 12-11-06, 04:17 AM	((Hey, just introducing myself and making a few comments. I suggest gettnig a private forum to keep this organized. Anyone know of any? Also, I'm willing to do some of the more mechanical DM work if you need it. Otherwise, just gonna play a character I've been mulling around for some time I will be playing a female human by the name of Alexis "Alabaster," a young woman with a humble yet terrifying past. She is a cleric/warlock and walks a thin line between good and evil. While Chaotic Good by nature, the source of her deadly powers are always a point of contention with her, whether they are from the less serious Fey or the most dangerous Devils and Demons of her worst nightmares, she does not know. Alexis has a personality that does not quite meet her appearances. While stubborn like an ox, and built like one too, she is also incredibly playful and is a constant joker. To bring her mind off her turbulent past and her otherworldy powers she often jokes and is very rarely serious (at least on the outside). She is nearly 6 feet tall, and has a muscular build to rival that of a strong male Half-Orc. Her skin is dark tan, and her eyes and hair are dark brown. She keeps her hair tightly kept into a bun, and she wears modest clothes. I look forward to this taking off! Even if we don't get nearly enough players, enough for a party or at least some interaction would be ideal. Alexis functions alone quite well, but she is willing to work with a team of like-minded people who don't mind her antics and strange power.
Constructe 12-12-06, 08:43 PM	:rolleyes: Ok. But how do we get more players if we play on a private forum? Haha... Well umm... it looks like there aren't any takers anyway... This post has been up for a while.:weep:
Gideon_Gideonson 12-12-06, 08:56 PM	Umm...how exactly are you doing this? Is it a normal PbP game? Or is it free-form like most of the others? What if you get fewer players? Please explain...I might be interested.
Constructe 12-13-06, 09:11 PM	Well the story can ramp to however many players and if players take leadership or otherwise organize a society that will generate its own story lines and plots etc. Yes, you don't have to micro every move but you still have to roll and post, use your feats, skills, spells etc. according to rules. If they are just wrong (like say you use fireball in an antimagic field) rather than modifying the story it just won't work the way you expect (like it will not damage anything although it might be a bit shocking to see lol). Anyway... creatures are not dumb and I'm pretty neutral so it is possible for you to die. 3 players is ok to start... I'll ask another if they would like to join. I guess send your characters to me at constructe@yahoo.com. You are allowed to keep secrets from other players. Let's start at level 10 since we are short handed. :)
Gideon_Gideonson 12-13-06, 09:14 PM	Sure, I'll give it a try...if we get enough other people. I've PMed you two ideas (not using e-mail, since my computer is being lame...).
Constructe 12-15-06, 12:12 AM	Great. Let's get started. Send me your character and I'll plop you down in the right location on my mega map. I was thinking of having you start in random locations but since its just you to start I'll place you together. After you e-mail I'll let you know the situation and you can introduce yourselves. BTW you get credit for relations, making peace, etc. So you need not attack everything you see all the time unless you want to.
Gideon_Gideonson 12-15-06, 10:54 PM	well, I PMed you the info...and I'd like a PM back with which character works best...
Revlis_Nogard 12-15-06, 11:15 PM	I'll join in too. I've been looking for a while to play one of these guys. I'm assuming that we're starting with the level ten starting gold, cause that's what I'm going with.
Constructe 12-17-06, 01:29 AM	Ok... everyone make a level 10... Send me your characters. I'll look them over to make sure there are no pun puns haha. I'll post the story soon. Then you can introduce your characters. We may break them into private stories later but to save my sanity posting multiple places we will start on this thread.
Constructe 12-17-06, 01:41 AM	You were happily or not so happily doing whatever you were doing when suddently you felt a tug and quicky became dissoriented. Stumbling a step, for the portal is 2 feet above groung you find yourself on a grassy knoll with a multicolored portal approximately 20 feet wide behind you. The grassy knoll is not dissimilar to the one by where JFK got shot, therefore offering good protection from prying eyes. Before you lays a beatiful meadow with a few white and yellow flowers. You can see the smoke of some village in the distance. If you happen to be hungry a deer stands in the clearing looking at all of you quizzically. You know you are not anywhere that you are familiar with because there is a large yellow (same as earth) and smaller blue sun above. If you happen to have sharp eyes you see a bee thinking that the portal is a flower run into the portal and bounce off of it.
Gideon_Gideonson 12-17-06, 01:42 PM	Okay...here goes...the character is in the Spoiler block...page number are for my own reference...

Basically, Ianis has a 1/20 chance of losing control of Uthag in any given day...at which point, he simply casts Dominate Person again. This does decrease his spells per day, however.

The last thing he remembers is going to sleep in his home town...and now he's completely lost, in what appears to be a new world... He packs up his bedroll and tent, before noticing the people standing with him... OOC: So...everyone else...take it from here... And just so you know...occasionally I will post things in Spoiler text (blacked over). Don't read this. Its for Constructe only. Same with any responses he puts the spoiler (you know how to, right Constructe? If not, tell me).
Revlis_Nogard 12-17-06, 09:32 PM	OOC: I like Gideon's idea of chars. in spoiler block, so here's mine. (Sorry for taking the idea, dude.)

He gets up immediately, his blade now covered in a malevolent frost, and stands ready. "Haluoran?! Where are you?! Is this part of the training?" Recieving no answer, he begins to survey his new surroundings. He begins to wipe the sweat that was already on his brow from whatever activity he was taking part in before he was transported to this strange place.
Gideon_Gideonson 12-17-06, 09:46 PM	Uthag looks down at the little man next to him. His deep, gravelly tones carry an intelligence and personality completely out of sync with his appearance. "Who might you be, little elf? Do you possess any knowledge about our current whereabouts?
Revlis_Nogard 12-17-06, 09:53 PM	Enalias cracks his neck and puts away his blade and shield. As he cracks his knuckles, he looks at the giant beside him. "Damn...I was really hoping you'd know. Oh well. Such as life." He quickly takes another survey of his surroundings and speaks up again. "You got a name, man? Or is "surprisingly intelligent ogre" sufficient?"
Gideon_Gideonson 12-17-06, 09:56 PM	"I do have such a moniker. You may refer to me as Uthag Bonebreaker. Cliche, I know, but it gets the point across. I hate for people to be misled.
Revlis_Nogard 12-17-06, 09:58 PM	Enalias sits down and uncorks a bottle of spiderblood and takes a long drink. His body shudders and his face makes a twisted grimace. "Wooo! Always goes down smooth! Anyway, my name's Enalias Galanodel....it doesn't mislead, but it doesn't answer much, I suppose."
Gideon_Gideonson 12-17-06, 10:01 PM	"Enalias Galanodel, I am pleased to make your accquaintance. One does not often meet strangers so polite, or open. Since you to are lost, mayhap we might press on together? If ever you have need of a strong blade at your side, I can provide."
Revlis_Nogard 12-17-06, 10:04 PM	"Uthag, I'd be an idiot if I said no. But don't you get confused; I'm a pretty handy swordsman myself. He looks down at his bottle and lifts it up to the giant. "You want some? It's Drow spiderblood. It's a little...well, poisonous if you're not used to drinking it. But it's alcohol, and sometimes, that's all that matters."
Gideon_Gideonson 12-17-06, 10:07 PM	Uthag takes the offered bottle in his mighty hand and takes a long pull. "I have no qualms against strong drink, or toxins. And I suspected your ability from the first. The speed at which you came to your guard after arriving proved that. not many could match that."
Revlis_Nogard 12-17-06, 10:11 PM	"Aww, stop, you're gonna make me blush, man." Enalias laughs for a moment, pauses, and picks up with a louder laugh. "Oh man! I just remembered neither of us have any clue where we are! I don't know whether it'd be better to stay here or get away from this place. Whaddya think?"
Gideon_Gideonson 12-17-06, 10:14 PM	Uthag stands still for a moment, his eyes distant and out of focus. Finally, he shakes it off and responds. "That depends...standing here will do nothing to advance our current state of affairs, while moving would remove us from this possible exit portal, and require communication. I must admit that it is likely that neither of us speak the language of this area. The fact that WE can communicate normally suprises me, actually. Where do you come from?"
Revlis_Nogard 12-17-06, 10:18 PM	Enalias scratches his head, puzzled, and answers. "Actually, that's a good point... Anyway, I come from a small forest kingdom called Xiloscient, but I've been living with my master on the World's Spine Mountain range for the past 24 years or so. What's your story?"
Gideon_Gideonson 12-17-06, 10:24 PM	Uthag looks thoughtful for a moment, and then his eyes go blank again briefly, as if he were staring at something in the distance. His response is hesitant, and strained, as if he wasn't quite being truthful...but you're not sure. (Roll Sense Motive...he may be lying, he may not be.) "Honestly, I don't remember much of my life. I had a run in with a archmage recently...a little mix-up with my orders in the war...and he hit me with some spell, I have no idea as to what. I don't recall much before the war now. But since then I've been wandering as a mercenary, selling my blade to whoever has enough to pay me.
Revlis_Nogard 12-17-06, 10:28 PM	OOC: A 28 (13 roll +15 mod) on that Sense Motive. BIC: We had a war not too many years before I was born back where I come from. It's where my master...well, pretty muched kicked a bunch of goblin and hobogoblin ass, became a hero, and took on a student 50 years later. Me. My master was a mercenary too, actually, which I guess would make me one if I'm gonna continue tradition...
Gideon_Gideonson 12-17-06, 10:32 PM	You get the idea that Uthag may be shading the truth somewhat... "Probably not the same war then. But setting out as sellswords might not be a bad idea. Our finances would improve greatly, and we might begin to ingrain ourselves into this world. And I think that to survive, we need to do that.
Revlis_Nogard 12-17-06, 10:34 PM	"Hmm...well, I can't say it's a bad idea. If anything, it'll give me the chance to discharge some of this excess energy finally. Okay, lead on, Uthag!"
Gideon_Gideonson 12-17-06, 10:42 PM	"Good. Let's go." So saying, Uthag packs up the rest of his belongings, straps them onto his back along with his axe, and walks down the hill for the town.
Revlis_Nogard 12-17-06, 10:43 PM	Enalias waits for Uthag to take a few steps forward before following suit towards the town.
Gideon_Gideonson 12-17-06, 10:51 PM	Make a listen check OOC: By the way...me requiring these checks is allowed (I assume) by Constructe based on something I sent him...
Revlis_Nogard 12-17-06, 10:53 PM	Ooc: 18 (14+4)
Gideon_Gideonson 12-17-06, 10:55 PM	You hear nothing but the wind in the grass and the heavy footsteps of Uthag.
Constructe 12-18-06, 10:55 PM	As you stroll down towards the village you notice how peaceful and calm everything seems. there are fields of wheat and piles of hay. A cow moos at you as you pass. And as you go you see little silk clothed ratlike figures blink at you with their red brown or blue eyes before making chittering sounds that seem like speaking and then scurry off quickly on all fours. Some are even the size of humans. A few hide and seem to be following you. If you look directly at them they also scamper off. One small one drops a small cookie on what looks to be a semi-cobbled road leading directly into the village and then runs back and hides in the brush to see if you pick it up and/or eat it. You can tell its hiding in the brush because its pink ears are sticking up and twitching above the leaves.
Revlis_Nogard 12-19-06, 12:19 AM	"'Don't learn tounges,' Halouran said. 'You won't need it' Halouran said...it probably would've come in handy now, master...oh well. Uh, hey, we...are not here...to hurt you! We come...in peace! Like, not hurting...and stuff..."
Gideon_Gideonson 12-19-06, 07:15 PM	OOC: Spoiler Time!!! For Constructe only!! BIC: If they can't understand the language, Ianis will cast tongues so he and Uthag can understand.
Constructe 12-19-06, 08:34 PM	You still can't understand them but one says what sounds like "Ita m'ooha'sst'er'tah" in a funny ratlike accent. "m'ooha'sst'er'tah Lei'keet Cooo-keth-eee?", the creature asks as it drops another cookie on the ground. "Spe'ech Coo'um'um uursst met'bett'eze eeed'doteh?" A few other ones talk to it and it looks like some are giggling. A increasing crowd of them have gathered to stare at you. You can now tell only about a tenth of the ones you see are in silk clothes. The others flit about running hiding and staring. You see a couple with pichforks and other possible makeshift weapons in hand although they are always hard to detect and scampering into hiding places.:pile:
treetrunker 12-23-06, 08:29 PM	Would joining still be an option? If so I want to play a Lawful Neutral Fighter, or a Cleric, depending on the deities you're using. Also, what are the rules for stat and hp generation?
Constructe 12-24-06, 10:15 PM	You are welcome to pop through the portal still. Please make your character level 10. You can mini max to a degree that is believable using standard gold for level 10. Send me your char on the post or to my mail. Since you got sucked through a portal you can come from just about anywhere so any deity is ok as long as it's not evil cause the site tends to drop big heavy stones on evil looking heads unless you're a NPC haha.

Constructe 12-26-06, 10:56 PM	You see some clothed and not so clothed ratlike people below gathering around a small band of adventures a ways down the grassy knoll you appear on. Some seem to be speaking to them in a chittering ratlike voice. (Unfortunately you were not around to get tongues). The others hear random questions like, "Are you monsters? My what weird ears you have. Did you come to help us? Do you like cookies? Can I see your weapon? Stay away from them they are wild animals. etc." Most of the ones gathering around are kids not obeying their parents demands to stay away from scary creatures like yourself.:cool:
Gaelro_Nailo 12-27-06, 12:04 AM	Alexander's cat starts to run over to the orge and trys to jump onto him. "Sam come back here, you dont know who that is." Alexander trys to catch up to the cat before she gets to the orge. As he is about to get her he trips over his robes and falls to the ground. "Blast it!" Getting up and dusting himself off he glares at the cat as he walks over to the adventures. Under his breath you can hear, "She always dose this, even when master went dragon hunting. And I still has that scar."
Revlis_Nogard 12-27-06, 12:53 AM	Enalias turns to see the newcomer run down the hill, temporarily distracted from the rat creatures. "Well I'll be! It looks like another elf! Who might you be, sir?" He looks down at the cat and picks her up and begins to pet her. "Awww....who're you? Aren't you just the cutest thing on four legs? Yes you are! Yes you are!" OOC: This is for those who understand Elven only (And the DM)! "Is this yours? I'm guessing it is, since I don't think that these rat folk would keep cats as pets. Not many would bring a cat along with them on a quest of any sort...unless you're an arcanist of some kind, perhaps."
Gaelro_Nailo 12-27-06, 01:02 AM	"My name is Alexander Nailo, and that is Samantha. And shes cute till she gets a dragon mad at you. Mind if I ask where this place is, I was heading to the Mages Guild hall in Carth." Sam starts to purr as she is getting petted.
Gaelro_Nailo 12-27-06, 01:11 AM	OOC:This is in Elven. Hope I got everone there :OOC Alexander bows before Enalias and Halouran and Uthag. "Yes I am a wizard, and she is my familier. She won't stay even if I tell her to. Though I though I was only going to be delivering a message for my master so I didn't expect to be on a quest"
Revlis_Nogard 12-27-06, 01:24 AM	OOC: Halouran is Enalias' master. He isn't in this plane of reality. "Carth....can't say I've ever heard of it...and there certainly aren't any 'Mages Guilds' where I come from. Looks like we have someone from yet another realm...this is getting hard to keep track of. Anyway, as far as where we are, neither of us know. Anyway, the name's Enalias Galanodel. The big guy here is Uthag Bonesnapper or Neckbreaker...sorry, I'm not so great with names. Anyway, pleased to meetcha, Alex." Enalias continues petting the cat until something in his head clicks. "Hey! If you're an arcanist, you could cast tongues on us so we can understand these rat guys!"
Gaelro_Nailo 12-27-06, 01:30 AM	"I knew i sould of listen to my sister. Sorry don't have that spell. I could try and charm one but then how would I get it to understand me?" Alexander seems to be talking to himself then to anyone else. "Wish I would of brouhgt my helm of comprehend languages and read magic. But like master always says no use crying over spilt potions."
Revlis_Nogard 12-27-06, 01:35 AM	"My master always told me 'If you want something dead, make damn sure it's in at least five different pieces when you're through with it. That way, you know it's not playing'...but I guess that really has no relevence here... Anyway...do you know any useful spells? The only ones I know don't really have a use outside of combat..."
Gaelro_Nailo 12-27-06, 01:44 AM	"Well I dont have any spells that would be usefull right now. Umm, sould I try and charm one of them?"
Revlis_Nogard 12-27-06, 01:51 AM	"I don't think that would help move along the current situation...it can't understand us, or us it, so I don't know what we'd have it do. Oh, wait, I have an idea!: Enalias puts the cat down, and shuts his eyes. He makes a few gestures with his hands, and reopens his eyes. They're now glowing a pale blue light. OOC: DM ONLY Enalias uses his detect magic spell like ability
Gideon_Gideonson 12-27-06, 11:12 AM	Uthag has been looking at the newcomer for some time, but now he finally speaks. "A wizard, hmm? And another of the elven race...I begin to feel like an outsider...or would, of course, except that I am perfectly fluent in elven. When one is a mercenary, one learns to pick up on these things. But by no means cease your conversation on my account." "And Enalias...what is that supposed to accomplish? Pray enlighten us non-arcanists as to the meaning of that gesture." "And I think we should simply press onward. These creatures obviously cannot communicate with us, and I see a town on the horizon. Onward, I say!" DM only: Spellcraft check got a 31 to determine his spell.
Revlis_Nogard 12-27-06, 12:08 PM	"Simple, Uthag. I'll just whip out some ol' detect magic, see if anyone in this village is magical, and have THEM cast tongues...or cast tongues on themselves...you know? That way we can communicate! Pretty smart, huh?"
Gideon_Gideonson 12-27-06, 04:30 PM	Uthag's voice is sarcastic. "I am floored by your genius...but what if there are no mages in the town? What if there are no mages in this world? There are many flaws in your plan...but I suppose that it is the best we have.
Revlis_Nogard 12-27-06, 04:50 PM	Enalias looks with a bit of offense. "Yeah, because you definately have a great plan with your nothing you suggested...it's worth a shot if anything."
Gideon_Gideonson 12-27-06, 04:56 PM	"As I said...its the best we've got. May as well try it."
Gaelro_Nailo 12-27-06, 11:51 PM	Sam looks at Alex and Meows. "Yes, I think that might be a good idea. Go look and see if there are any of your kind in this village" Sam then jumps down to the ground and runs off into the village. DM: Sam is searching for another cat or catlike creature to talk to
Gideon_Gideonson 12-28-06, 02:00 AM	OOC: Just so you know, spoiler blocks aren't for in game text, if that's what you're doing. I'm not sure if your character has some secret, but unless you do have one, just put actions in brown or something. Not quite sure what you're doing with that black space, but just a heads up. Spoilers are DM only.
Constructe 12-28-06, 05:27 AM	:bigeyes: Well for that matter, those with detect magic can detect there are magical auras where there seems to be nobody. And some of these rat people have magical doodads on their bodies . Jewelry, weapons, etc. As for your cat, these ratlike people wiggle their whiskers and look at it funny. But they are looking at you guys equally funny. Perhaps they have not seen these things before. I wonder if your cat thinks they are food... Some get bored gawking at you and walk off. You notice they all seem to move abnormally fast (40 ft which is 33% faster than average people). Perhaps they are very hard workers and like to speed walk everywhere. You also notice some of the buildings are a bit odd. They seem to be mostly round and triangular constructions with entrances that look like giant tubes (how avant guarde back then). And occasionally you find some built like houses with castle features. Most of the clothed rat looking people seem to come from them. The whole village seems to be comprised of this race. A rat person approaces you down the road. He seems not to be hiding like all the rest and purposely speaks common although with a gruff chittering accent. he seems to be talking to himself although clearly wanting you to hear. "Ah more portal scum. I suppose you are looking for free food like the rest in exchange for shiny metal fake cheese?" He says snobbishly, "Oh the primitive folk are always soo hungry. I suppose they haven't discovered farming yet. Who only knows why our leader is interested in your type. He must be insane. Oh the loathesome the travesty of it all. Our virgin ground being trampled undertoe by barbararous primitive pointy ears and their like. Will the portal ever go away. We do all the work and they get cookies from the kids for free. I wish we still had a king rather than our titular shaman." As he rambles he appears to be taking no heed of you and intends to just walk straight past you without noticing. The only problem is he is in the center of the road and apparently expects you to move out of the way. Also he is moving quite fast as well 40 feet per round meaning he will reach you in 1 round. Will you yield?:bigeyes: He is not clothed aside from a silk cape and two adamantine rapiers strapped to his side. The hilt of the rapiers have a big crystal on the hilt which eminates some magic but makes it seems more for looks than usefulness.
Gaelro_Nailo 12-28-06, 11:55 AM	Alex starts to speak some arcane words and makes a few gestures with his hands. DM: Casting Prestidigitation, then making some glowing balls of colors;blue, green, red, orange. As 4 balls of color appears in alexs hand, he starts to juggle them. The colors are blue, green, red, and orange. "Now I wounder how you would act if you was to go to where we come from? Would you be as grumpy as you are now?" The balls travel though the air, aided my alex magical abilitys and his elven graces. "I don't know about my companions, but I'm not a barbararous primitive pointy ears, and I would suggest that you not call me that again." Violet, indigo, and yellow balls forms and alex dosnt seems to be bother with the extra task of keeping them flying, he is juggleing them all with ease. Sam comes back and watchs alex juggling, not finding any others cats around.
Revlis_Nogard 12-28-06, 01:30 PM	"Whoa...hold on a second...what is this thingy here?" Enalias begins to poke at the outline of the thing that shouldn't be there.
Gideon_Gideonson 12-28-06, 01:38 PM	DM ONLY!!!! Dude...did you forget the post I sent you about moving away? I'm gone...there was nothing for him to sense, let alone poke...you need to fix this. He already suspects something, cause he's a friend of mine...can you remedy this situation? Maybe something else invisible around?
Constructe 12-28-06, 10:35 PM	As you reach for the invisible thing it darts away and becomes visible. It is also a ratlike person with a bow and a dagger. He looks a bit angry and glances at the person in the road for directions. Then darts off into a building. The snobbish ratperson stops. "My my my, you are upsetting some guards. There are just around to insure the people's safety you know. Like mine for instance. Wow, I like your colored globes. May I try juggling them? In fact, you may be better than the regular fare after all. For one thing, it appears that you don't pick up food on the ground like the greenish orc thing that passed through before. Why he got food from our leader beats me. I heard he got eaten by the wild things..." "Guards...", he snaps his finger and 3 more guards become visible. " Please lead them to the ummm our leader." He then speaks in the wierd rat language. The guards, each bearing large adamantine spears with some magic aura on them, clears away the rabble to a distance and off the road and gets infront of you as an escort into the city. Two more appear behind you. "I am afraid they don't speak your language and I'm much too busy to be a lowly interpreter. But many third whiskers speak an amazing variety of bizzare languages and our leader... well he knows everything (he rolls his eyes) so convesing with him will be no problem." "Now can I play with those round baubles?"
Gaelro_Nailo 12-29-06, 12:04 AM	"I don't think it will work. But I'll try and let you have them." Alex sends the seven balls of light toward the rat-like guy. "My name is Alexander Nalio, what are you called good sir?" DM: I mantian the spell so when he trys to juggle they work, as well as it sould with his skill.
Constructe 12-29-06, 12:55 AM	As expected, the orbs fade shortly after you give them to him. "Why you must be a gentlenezumi. Finally someone with manners. My name is Lord Tehthchteh from the tribe of the grasping paw. Well I must be going, I have no interest in seeing our leader. My my how disheartening that we should be led by a tattered ear tribe. And those third whiskers are no better."
Gaelro_Nailo 12-29-06, 01:27 AM	"Before you go may I ask a question?" Alex reforms the orbs and has them orbiting him, roughly 1 foot away fom him.
Constructe 12-30-06, 01:36 AM	"Sure... I suppose as long as you are snappy about it. For my belly is churning with hunger now. Almost enouh to want to dine in the castle. What ever happened to building more traditional homes. Culture has gone out the door I tell you.", though he says that he's busy you very much doubt it.
Gaelro_Nailo 12-30-06, 03:10 AM	"How many outlanders are there in this place? Where do your people or other outlanders go to use there skills and gain knowledge? Where are the shops? What kind of currency do you kind use? What do yall call yall selfs? Where is this place?" Alex talks a deep breath and looks like he is about to ask more questions. DM: If you don't stop him he can ask questions forever, and i mean that.
Gideon_Gideonson 12-30-06, 06:57 PM	"Come on, good sir. Give the poor beast a chance to recover from your verbal barrage and answer." "As for food, lead on. Trail rations get so...disgusting after the seventeenth straight day."
Gaelro_Nailo 12-30-06, 10:58 PM	Realizing that he did it again, alex bows before the Rat-like creature (Still dont have a name for it), "Sorry about that, master always says I ask to many questions. Though he also said that it would help with my arcane studies."
Constructe 12-30-06, 11:11 PM	Funny you should ask. Well umm we all seem to be outlanders. Our ancestors destroyed some naga and made it into this portal to escape the shadowlands. We consider this place a paradise but out leaders worry its a trap. As for weird beings they have popped in here and there. Most are out and about either abandoning us or helping out our leader. Some I hear get mauled or eaten so we are scared to go too far past the lands we have tamed unless you are smart and sneak around. I must be fair and say our leader does well making us safe in our township. But so did our tribe. Oh we used to use some wierd currency but abandoned it since getting here. We trade for food. Everyone needs food. We like food. We are the richest in food. If you have cheese I'll trade you 10 pounds of rice for it or 1 pound of wheat. We value grain over rice. Rice is so common. The king hordes wheat saying we must store for the days of darkness. There hasn't even been one day here that we could call winter since our fathers died. Hmmm those were the dark days. Who says they will return. You can buy stuff from anyone. If you have food they will solicit you directly haha. Why have stores. We deliver directly to you. We are Nezumi. We are fast and take advantage of it. So we like speedy delivery. Well hmmm you know I'm not a tour guide. Actually I like your equipment. Could I have some magic item as a token of your friendship. We do trade in magic. Yup magic items are very useful. I'll give you a barrel of rice for a ring of fireballs. It makes it easy to kill cockroaches. I hate pests.
Gaelro_Nailo 12-30-06, 11:36 PM	"I left most of my magic items at home." Alex digs into one of his belt pockets, pulling out a small vial. "But I do have a potion of healing." He hands the potion to the nezumi. "And thanks for telling me about this place. Do I call you nezumi?
Constructe 12-31-06, 04:37 AM	As I mentioned before my nane is Lord Tehthchteh of the grasping paw but maybe its too hard for you primitive folk. Do you mind if I don't get too close to you? You seemed horribly diseased for having lost all your fur. Some of our elders loose their fur before dying. Naked skin is so revolting. Thanks for your potion though. If you need it to cure yourself of your horrid disease I would not wish to take it from you though.s where m While you have been talking you are led to a village with strange geometrical buildings with tubelike entrances. There are a few human looking building resembling small house castles or blue topped asian homes. This is where most of the clothed nezumi seem to be coming in and out of. In the center you see a large castle which would seem like the ruler's residence. It seems out of place because such a few dwelling sized village seem completely insufficent to support such a large structure in bulding or in economic feasability (if you happen to take knowledge, governmental finances).
Gaelro_Nailo 01-01-07, 09:12 PM	Alex laughs loudly, "No my small friend, my kind are not covered in fur like yours. And if I needed something it wouldn't be a very smart idea to give it away, now would it?" He then looks over to the others, "I think our gold coins will not help us here, unless we find more of these outsiders to trade with. And I didnt bring alot of my magical item with me." He looks backs to Tehthchteh, "Mind if I just call you Tehth? And would there be a place where I could buy or trade for spell components?"
Constructe 01-03-07, 04:42 AM	Why sure. Tehthchteh snaps his funger and some Nezumi runs up and grovels before him. These folk want to trade. The nezumi wrinkles its whiskers, "More yellow garbage metal?" "No my good friend, I hope not. Perhaps they can make some item or something." "What do you want and what can you offer oh sickly folk hairless ones?", the grovelling Nezumi asks.
Gaelro_Nailo 01-03-07, 07:08 PM	"Well guys, what do yall think we sould need? I will need some parchments, with a few vials of ink and a couple ink pens. I do not know what my friends can make or have to trade, but i can create magical scrolls and magical weapons and armor, given time and what I need. But i dont have anything with me that will help create stuff. I would also like a place to stay if we are going to stay in this village. I can also cast a few spells that can help everday living. Ohh and I am also a novice healer, though I dont cast healing spells I know how to set bones, and treat the sick. Stuff like that."
Constructe 01-03-07, 09:24 PM	"Well how about this. I'll give you 50 parchments, normal ink, and pens. However, you must make me 5 spell scrolls of whatever the highest level spell you make with them. I'll pay you extra if I really like the scroll. And I'll throw in some general components garbage too. My kid's use it to scare neighbors, they can make smelly smoke, start campfires, and play marbles with wierd stones. They like the jade, coal ball, and pearl the most. As for Armor, we just use Adamantine. I think it's good enough, but if you want an extra cart of wheat you can always sell your talents for food." "You can stay with the leader. He has the biggest house here and he will probably ask you to do ridiculously dumb things that will get you killed sooner or later" He says nonchalantly. "Also can't you cast a spell to hide your naked flesh. It looks so repulsive. You can give them to Tehthchteh. He will be our go between. Frankly, I am scared of you."
Gaelro_Nailo 01-03-07, 10:10 PM	"Very well, I will make you 5 scrolls, 2 major creaton, 2 lesser planar binding, 1 hold monster. Are those good for you? But I think I will wait and create those after I travel around some and see how I can gain more knowledge about the arcane arts." Alex then pulls his robe's hood over his head, casting a shadow over his face and then puts on some purple gloves so there isn't any trace of his skin shown. "Dose this help little one?" DM: Will cost me 3125 gp and 125 exp. I think i dont have my books with me right now. I dont have the money, but because we dont use gp here how will that work? Ohh and it will take 4 days to make the scrolls
Constructe 01-07-07, 03:22 AM	Very well here you go. Thanks for covering your naked flesh. I also have a lot of those shiny metal cheeses if you need them. The leader does too. We exchange them for favors. Please the leader and he will reward you with some. Sure you can give them to me at a later date. These materials are an advance. I expect more in return than the average value that I give. It is hard to get magic sometimes. Asides from our tribe's magic. Is our business concluded. I'll await your scrolls if you should survive the wilds which you all seem to like to adventure into. As for me, I don't know why everyone can't just relax and enjoy the food and civilization.
Gaelro_Nailo 01-07-07, 12:29 PM	"Then I think I will go to see your leader. He lives in that big building over there?" Alex points to the large Keep. "Well then I shall go pay a visit then. Come Sam." Sam jumps up onto alex as he passes her on his way to the ruler's keep.
Constructe 01-08-07, 12:25 PM	Lo and behold you come upon an audaciousy nice gothic castle and are ushered into the main hall with the floor covered in a layer of golden wheat. The walls are painted different browns although gold, silver, adamantine, and other metals show through some of the painting. You are led into a room with a table and lots of food and asked to be seated while for the leader. The food smells wonderful with rich assortments of cheese, bread, better,cooked meats, pies cookies, etc.
Gaelro_Nailo 01-08-07, 09:58 PM	Alex sits down and waits for the leader to show up. While Sam jumps off of alex and searchs the room for anything interesting, to a cat at the very least.
Constructe 01-10-07, 10:41 AM	Your cat hops onto the table and drinks some milk. Then its ears pick up as a door opens and a giant cat enters. It is in fact a tiger and a regal Nezumi walks in. The other Nezumi's keep their distance and appear a bit scared. "Gentlemen and elves, I welcome you to our town. We have been waiting for more portal people to aid us to tame this new land." the leader says. he is carrying a big staff, a green cape and painted red armor. A very young Nezumi sits to his side. Presumably his son or nephew. He pets the great tiger. "Eat please." the younger Nezumi says as he grabs some food.
Gaelro_Nailo 01-11-07, 08:25 PM	Alex glares at Sam, "Samantha, what have I told you about drinking milk? You know you......", as sam starts to throwup the milk she just drank. Alex then proceeds to clean up the mess, "Sorry about that, she knows that she dosn't need to drink milk." "Ok, now that that is all cleaned up. My name is Alexander Nailo, apprentice of Af'mah Freanianea.", alex lowers his head, best bow he could do while sitting down, "Lord Tehthchteh of the Grasping Paw was so kind as to tell me about this place", (OOC: He spoke the name perfectly), "as well as to tell me where to find you. Like I told him I am a magic user of some skill, as well as a medic. Since I have a feeling that I am going to be here awhile I might as well make myself useful. How may I help you?"
Constructe 01-13-07, 11:39 AM	Thanks for asking. Please enjoy the meal. I am currently seeking hardy outsiders to scout beyond our borders and to seek further education for me son. I am a shaman and need to let my son who is a wizard to continue his education. If he remains here I fear it may be stunted. I would hope he would become the next leader but there are several tribes who constantly vie for that status. I would go myself, however, I must remain here to protect and guide our burgeoning civilization. We also pay well for mounts. There seems to be no horses in the area. Whatever you can find would be a benefit for our community. But let us not speak about business anymore. Let's enjoy our meal. When your magic suts off don't be alarmed. We have various protections to prevent deceit and theft in this castle. You hear 3 gongs sound. If you have any magical effect please roll to see if it is dispelled, or you can volunarily turn it off.
Gaelro_Nailo 01-13-07, 11:57 PM	Alex looks a bit disapointed as his orbs of light fades, but he lets the spell fade. Looking at the younger nezumi, "So you are studing to become a Magi? Do you have a master yet?", while he is talking to the nezumi he starts to pick at the meal, but most of what he takes he gives to sam, he dosnt seem to eat much as the meal gose on, "Have you study basic encantions and rudimentary hand movements yet? Have you started on your spellbook yet. Do you care to trade spells, and if so what circlet have you mastered?"
Constructe 01-19-07, 12:50 PM	The young Nezumi fiddles with his food. I just learned a bunch of stuff in books of my father. I can do some spells but my dad says to keep them secret and only use them when it is imparative. Anyway, I'm out of books to read although reading old books is fun. I don't know anything about circlets and stuff. Maybe you can teach me.:P
Constructe 01-19-07, 12:51 PM	It seems we are playing solo or just 2 players... If others are still around please make a reply...:confused:
Gideon_Gideonson 01-19-07, 03:30 PM	Yeah...sorry bout that. I couldn't be on for a while...give me another day or so, and I should be able to catch up again. My life was a bit of a mess... Hope I'm forgiven :D -Gideon
Gaelro_Nailo 01-19-07, 08:55 PM	"Where to begin, when I learned the arcane arts the diffent level of magic are called circlet, from apprentice (0-level) to master (9-level). I don't have a problem teaching you spells but as your father is sure to understand I don't give stuff for free. If you want one of my spells you must ether trade for it or preform a service." He then makes some room on the table and pulls out a small black book with silver runes along the binding, "If you would go fetch one of your spellbooks we may start, and as you are gone it will give me and your father some time to talk so I know what kind of spells he dosnt want you to know, if any."
Constructe 01-25-07, 08:20 PM	I am sure you are much better than I and since you are around I don't need to know any of yours yet. I need experience. That's what my father says. Or else I will not become more accomplished. I'm just worried that the beasts outside may munch on me if I travel without a good enough team. My father is worried about it.
Constructe 01-25-07, 08:23 PM	I have rooms for all. If you wish to escort my son and/or hunt down some animals I would be most gracious and you will earm my confidence. I have a tendancy to richly reward those that aid me no matter what the race is. Of course I have earned some emnity from others for that, but I am not overly concerned about that right now.
Gideon_Gideonson 01-25-07, 10:48 PM	Actually, I'm sorry, but count me out for now. I'm still to busy to do a focused story right now.
technomagi 01-26-07, 05:59 PM	Do you have room for one more?
Constructe 01-28-07, 01:44 PM	Yah... please add yourself to the table... I think you will get to fight soon afterwards. Just post your character and introduce yourself. We actually really need people lol.
Gaelro_Nailo 01-28-07, 07:28 PM	"Well I dont know how I can help teach our son, but I will give it a try. If you want we can head out in the morning. If you will excuse me for now I think I'll get some rest. If someone could show me to my room?" Alex stands up, after replacing his spellbook back into his bag. Sam jumps up onto alex as he head out of the room, with or without someone to show him the way.
Constructe 01-29-07, 10:07 PM	You are led to a spacious room filled with fruits. The draperies and walls are fruity colors too. A bit too fruity for most. A bowl is labeled eat me if you feel sick, another one says eat me if you want to sleep, and onother one says eat me if you want to wake. Strangely all the fruit in the bowls look the same.
Gaelro_Nailo 01-30-07, 01:17 AM	Alex looks around the room, finding it to his liking he walks over to the bed. He then mutters some arcane words, with a quick gesture his spell is completed. He just cast Detect secret door, and he spends the next few minutes searching for any secret doors. Unless his spell failed for some reason. You dont live to be 197 years old by bening trusting, especially as an elven nobleman.
technomagi 02-01-07, 09:18 PM	how are you doing character creation
Constructe 02-02-07, 12:46 AM	You create a level 10 character. You can send me the character to review first if it is questionable. Otherwise just post it. I accept most all 3.5 Characters as long as they have no ridiculous circular mini maxes like I buff my pet and my pet buffs me 1,000 times or Pun Pun Characters. Characters should be believable with a "character" persona.
Constructe 02-02-07, 12:50 AM	You finish and when you fall into a deep sleep you dream strange dreams of the home you left and of empires rising and falling. However, you find it strange that the bowl of fruit keeps appearing in your dream.

Gaelro_Nailo 02-02-07, 10:36 PM	After about 4 hours alex sits up, looking around for sam. Upon finding her he seems to relax somewhat, though it is clear to anyone who is watching ((you know who you are)) that he is worried about something. Sitting on the bed he closes his eyes and dosn't move for 4 more hours. Upon completion his rest alex pulls out his spellbook and gose over it for the next hour, sometimes stopping to pet sam. He then leaves his rooms searching for the lord of the village.

Constructe 02-05-07, 09:08 AM	You find the leader together munching on eggs and bacon. They seem to be talking to a halfling. They greet you and ask you to dine before setting out on a grand adventure. "I must warn you, it is not the biggest things that will be your concern as much as the malformed. For this land is new and there are things... well not quite finished there."
technomagi 02-06-07, 05:43 PM	Gimble loads his plate with a healthy serving of bacon and eggs speaking with his mouth full Some *chew* hot steaming biscuits *chew* would be grand He pauses sopping up some egg with the bacon. So where are we exactly, and what are we doing here? Halflings do love their food!
Gaelro_Nailo 02-06-07, 07:44 PM	Taking a set next to the halfling alex starts to select his breakfast; eggs, bacon, bread, fruit. Just like last night he dosn't eat much himself, but gives most of it to Sam, who is sitting on his lap watching the Nezumi with much interest. "So there are halfings here as well. Its a pleasure to meet you, my name is Alexander Nailo, but most call me alex. What may I call you as?"
technomagi 02-07-07, 10:05 AM	Gimble Redfern, but me friends be calling me Gimble. He takes the hand shaking it enthusiastically. Something on the table catches his attention, and he licks his lips Ah, I see strawberries. One thing we halflings have in common with our most gracious hosts is that we both know the real value of food Alex. He seems capable of putting away an unbelievable amount for such a small being.
technomagi 02-07-07, 09:17 PM	Gimble addresses the leader. So what sort of job is it that you be offering? What are the risks and what are the rewards? The tenor of his voice suddenly changed with those questions. The carefree whimsical bent common in most halflings gone, his voice is all business. As he speaks shadows in the room deepen slightly and the light dims noticably. Then just as suddenly the effect is gone as if it had never happened.
Constructe 02-07-07, 11:31 PM	Well I need you to escort my friend around, rustle up something to ride, and generally explore. I am too busy around here to do it myself unfortunately. Traveling... what pleasure. Sadly I am the head of the state and must look after my people. Do be careful about any malformed creatures. They are often dangerous. And don't forget to find some books and stuff for my son to continue his magical learning. Unfortunately he is not have the aptitude to study my arts. Few really do.
Constructe 02-07-07, 11:33 PM	Oh and about reward... Well you may always dine with me will helkp you in any way possible, be it magical items etc. Civilizations are few and far between I think and friendly ones are a fraction of that.
technomagi 02-08-07, 06:47 PM	Gimble looks to Alex wiping his fingers on a napkin. Well then I guess it is time to go to work. Are you coming with me? If you want to stick together just say so. I will stay close to you. Hide in plain sight roll 12+19 from skill= 31 to hide. Gimble vanishes before your eyes. Gimble summons his shadow companion. Which will hide in the shadows nearby. He rolls 14+ 15 from skill=29 to move silent He quickly writes a note. He rolls 15+ 12 sleight of hand. To place the note on the table where Alex can find it. The note reads. I will scout ahead. You just signal the direction you want to go with a gesture. If you notice something strange in the shadows it is probably my companion. If I spot some danger ahead I will signal you by leaving something shiny in your path or tossing a small stone in your direction. Nod if you understand.
Gaelro_Nailo 02-08-07, 07:05 PM	Alex stands up and streaches before picking sam up."I think I will go explore the area around you village. Nodding to himself he walks out of the room, heading toward the wilderness around the village. He starts to hum an odd elven song while he takes in the sights of the terrian.
technomagi 02-09-07, 06:11 PM	Gimble keeps ahead of Alex staying hidden in the shadows and moving silently. He is keeping his eyes open for danger.Do I need to make multiple spot checks or is one sufficient?
Constructe 02-10-07, 10:35 AM	One spot check is ok until it is used up. This is what you see. You find that outside the village is filled with giant leafy plants and very large grass that are as high as corn stalks. There are some half beaten tracks and open areas or large rocks you can occasionally see from. What disquiets you is that you see some huge armored lizard like creatures ambling about. They seem to travel in pairs.:eek:
technomagi 02-10-07, 02:20 PM	Roll 8 + Spot Skill +13=21 To spot check. Gimble does a sense motive on the large lizards. Roll 15 +1 from wisdom=16 to figure out if they are hostile or dangerous. He will also do a listen check. Roll 16 + 7 Listen skill= 23 Regardless of what he determines about the lizards he will attempt to double back and signal Alex in the manner he described earlier to let him know something is ahead.
Constructe 02-11-07, 08:31 AM	They are territorial and will attack anything they see that is faintly hostile but do not seem to be evil in nature. They are also larger than anything you have ever seen. Undoubtedly they could swallop you with one gulp by accident. You do not see how you can cross without the troupe catching at least one group's attention or crossing the path of them. Encountering them might not be if but more akin to when unless sonething changes.
technomagi 02-11-07, 12:32 PM	based on that imformation Gimble will double back and catch Alex rather than simply signalling him. He will go ahead and come out of hiding in a safe location and relay this information to him. Gimble steps out the shadows in front of Alex with his finger to his lips to signify the need for silence. He takes a stick and writes in the dirt with it waving Alex over to read what he has written. Mentally he commands his shadow companion to watch for approaching danger and to warn him if anything approaches. Trail ahead. Giant lizards. Look dangerous. No way around.
Constructe 02-13-07, 10:52 PM	"My father protects the village from beasts like these. Isn't he great!" The young magician stares astoundedly at the lumbering 15 foot high lizard things with armor ans impressive spikes. So far none of them seem to have paid interest in you.
technomagi 02-14-07, 06:07 PM	Once Gimble has relayed the information he gives Alex a hand signal to let him know that he is going back to scouting. hide in plain sight roll 13+19=32 Move silently roll 7+15=23 Gimble stalks through the clearing where the lizards chew silently. He prepares to defend drawing his rapier silently. He waits as the Mage moves into the clearing gawking at the beasts. If they attack then Gimble will move in otherwise he will stay hidden. On the opposite side of the clearing his shadow companion moves through the shadows. also in stealth mode. I'm not sure what the stats are for the shadow to roll its hide and move silent rolls.
Constructe 02-14-07, 11:10 PM	They do not notice you. The party moves silently behind the first group of animals and passes them without incident. Then proceeds forwards and approaces another set of beasts. Shadows hide quite well, however, that isn't the biggest concern about them. Is your shadow your cohort/? If it is summoned or you created it, shadows have a malovelent will of their own and will often do things within your instructions that may cause disasterous effects if they can (ergo not hiding, attacking if not told to, etc.)
Gaelro_Nailo 02-15-07, 02:08 AM	OOC:Shadowdancer shadows are there familer i though OOC: Alex keeps walking with the young mage, sometimes stopping for a second to look at a strange plant or animal.
Constructe 02-15-07, 09:38 AM	One of the giant lizards sniffs and decides to attack. The partner raises its head and moves to assist. Moving towards the party (suprise round) it attempts to slam Alex with its tail (37 to hit causing 22 damage, DC 31 Reflex save to avoid being thrown 30 ft. to the left and getting an additional 2 damage and landing prone). The other one eyes the young wizard closing withing 30 feet of him. Gimble if you wish to remain hidden you better roll a hide check. All please roll initiative.
technomagi 02-15-07, 06:09 PM	ooc:the shadowdancer summoned shadow has stats similar to the shadow in monster manual. It differs from those in that its alignment matches that of the shadowdancer who summoned it. It cannot be turned, rebuked or controlled. It serves as companion to the shadowdancer and it can communicate with the shadowdancer intelligebly. It starts out as a 2 HD shadow but as the shadow dancer goes up in levels he gains additional companions and they gain more HD. It functions much like a familiar. Stats for Shadow 2d12 HD; 21 hp; Init +2; Speed 30, fly 40; AC 13;Att. incorporeal touch +3 melee; Dam 1d6 temporary strength; Special Qualities undead, incorporeal, cannot be turned, rebuked or controlled by a 3rd party.

The shadow will remain hidden and avoid combat at this time.
Gaelro_Nailo 02-15-07, 10:56 PM	Alex relfex roll: 11+7=18 Alex Init roll: 19+3=22 Sam Init roll: 4+2=6 When Alex turn comes up he stands up and pulls out a metal rod and cast hold moster at the lizard closer to the other mage. Sam just watchs for now.
Constructe 02-16-07, 12:00 PM	Alex takes the 22 damage from the attack (failed reflex) as he is tossed away from the tail swooping at him landing on the shrubbery with a crashing thud taking 2 more damage. The giant armored beast turns and looks at where Alex landed (will save 17 fail vs hold monster) and stops advancing. The other animal is suprised to see another threat to its side (the cow) and whacks at it with its tremendous tail (27 to hit dealing 20 damage to the cow (if the cow is not large it must make a fort save or be hurled 30 feet back). The creature listens for other threats (Gimble please do a move silent check).
technomagi 02-16-07, 05:21 PM	ooc: the cow is only an illusion made out of the shadows. It works just like the spell silent image. The illusion can be moved by the will of the caster. However, it makes no sound, has no smell or texture. You will have to determine how that effects things. Anything that interacts with it can make a will save to disbelieve it. There is nothing in the spell description about the illusion having hp. Move silent check roll 12+15 from skill=27 Shadow's move silent is automatic due to being incorporeal. As the tail sweep hits the illusionary cow Gimble will have it fly off and roll on the ground to similate how it would react if it were a real cow. He will then make it run away. I think that is a free action since all he has to do is will it. Its already formed. Meanwhile he will move in on the one that attacked Alex striking at its soft underbelly with his rapier. roll 15+13=28 for 1st attack. rapier is keen critical threat range is 15-20. critical treat. roll 13+13=26. If those hit he rolls 1d4 damage. He rolls 3+4=7 damage. If he got the critical damage doubled for critical hit that makes 14 damage. Add sneak attack damage. roll 4d6 for 19 additional damage. total 33 damage 1st attack If he got the critical. 2nd attack roll 19 + 8 = 27 critical threat. roll 13 +8=21. roll 1d4 for damage. Rolled 2+4=6. If he got the critical then damage is 12. Add 4d6 for sneak attack. roll 14 damage. for a total of 26 damage if he got the second critical.

technomagi 02-23-07, 05:01 PM	I hope we didn't lose our DM here. Its been a week.
Constructe 02-24-07, 12:32 AM	Sorry was on vacation. You puncture the beast greatly in several spots but get hit by the sharp armor taking 13 damage (Reflex 18 for half damage). I guess Alex is having a stare out with the other one. The young wizard shoots a few magic missiles. He seems to be scared and excited at the same time and backs up to make sure he keeps his distance. "Ummm" he says. "I heard most people try to run away from them. But I did hear they make great steaks. You could eat one for a month if you frost them every day to keep them from rotting."
Constructe 02-24-07, 12:45 AM	The lumbering beast whacks at Gimble (32 to hit) for 23 damage. DC 31 or be thrown to the left 30 feet and take 2 falling damage as you roll and tumble through shrubbery. If it throws you it turns its eyes on the young wizard again.
technomagi 02-24-07, 02:24 PM	roll reflex save roll 14 +12=26 vs. sharp armor. Gimble has evasion so he actually saves for none. Gimble lets out grunts with pain as the great tail smashes into him. roll reflex save roll 9 + 12=21 He failed. He flies off to the left. tumble check to avoid falling damage. roll 16 + 8 =24 He lands in a practiced tumble rolling lithely to his feet. Gimble makes a quick decision to do what he does best. Hide in plain sight roll 20 + 19= 39 Enveloped in shadows Gimble vanishes from sight. move silent 16 +15=31 He stealthily changes his location.
Gaelro_Nailo 02-24-07, 04:41 PM	"I realy dislike using this spell but sometimes theres not many options." Staring at the lizard that gimble wounded he utters a word and points at it. As phantom imiages invade its mind. Phantasmal Killer
Constructe 02-25-07, 08:16 PM	(Please provide me your phantom save.) The beast looks around for Gimble and then settles on the cow. it is somewhat perplexed that it was not splattered from the first hit and whacks it again with its massive tail. It then agitatedly focuses on finding its other target.
Gaelro_Nailo 02-26-07, 02:37 AM	(Will save 20 to disbelive. If failed fort save 20 or die. If successful still take 3d6 points of damage. If that happens I rolled 2+6+3=11)
Constructe 02-26-07, 03:19 PM	The creature ends its stareout (Will fail, fort success, 13 damage) with a loud peicring cry as it is is invaded by a image of giant clawed beasts. At the same time a new volley of missiles from the wizard hits it. The creature bars its dorsal plates and looks back at Alex and the nezumi smacking the nezumi with its tail and sending him aloft. You can hear a doppler effect heeeelllllpppp as he goes flying.
technomagi 02-26-07, 08:55 PM	Gimble will stealthily move into position for another sneak attack on his next turn.
Gaelro_Nailo 02-27-07, 12:19 AM	Alex pulls out a metal rod and points its at the beast, "I know that, if you have time to point out what I did wrong, then you have time to help." Sam runs over to where the nezumi landed and sees if he breathing. With arcane words and a gesture the beast feels his limbs growing stiff and rigid. Hold Monster
technomagi 02-27-07, 04:56 PM	Gimble concentrates on the cow making it jump up and attach across the eyes of the big lizard.
Constructe 03-02-07, 04:20 AM	The creature makes a will save 15 vs Alex as he stares at him. The other beast goes mad listening and sniffing out opponents. If it wasn't so dangerous and mad it would be quite funny seeing a cow stuck on a big angry lizard. It sniffs out Gimble and moves towards him ready to smack him with its tail. The Nezumi thanks Gimble for the help and stares at the curious and threatening sight before him. "Ummm, he tells Gimble. I think the cow got it really mad."
technomagi 03-02-07, 05:25 PM	Gimble throws scentbreaker at the creature as a grenade weapon after seeing the beast sniffing and heading in his direction. attack roll 17 + 9 (base ranged +13 -4 non proficency)=26 (scent breaker will break on the lizards face and make a 10' cloud of noxious smelling dust. DC fortitude save of 18 or lose sense of smell for 1 minute. After 1 minute make a second DC 18 fortitude save or lose sense of smell for 1 hour. Anyone or anything caught in the cloud or that sniffs the ground where it is scattered must make two DC 15 fortitude saves with the same results for failing.) He smiles slyly making a move action into the treeline to get out of its path.
Constructe 03-04-07, 12:39 PM	It shudders in absolute anger as it smacks gimble with its tail again (listen check 30). 31 to hit 22 damage (DC 31 or be trown 30 feet again and take 3 more damage landing prone.) "Umm" the nezumi says as he summons a beetle to divert an attack, "I thinkz maybe we are over our head don't you? Or are you just warming up?"
Gaelro_Nailo 03-05-07, 12:02 AM	Alex pulls out another metal rod and points it at the lizard attacking Gimble. Closing his eyes he calls upon hidden reserves of magic as he utters arcane words of power. Praying that his spell works he takes a step toward gimble. Hold Monster, Will DC 20, 10 rounds
Constructe 03-05-07, 10:51 PM	Both beasts now stare at Alex.... It is hard to tell what they are thinking although a trace of hostility still shows on the recently tamed beast. "Are they your pets now?" the nezumi asks in awe.
Gaelro_Nailo 03-05-07, 11:18 PM	"If I wan't to then yes, but all I have done is paralysis them for a little while." Pointing at the one that seems most wounded alex speak arcane words and moves his hand in a strange way, as 4 yellow darts spring from his fingertips stiking the beast.

Gimble himself takes 4 more HP of cuts from the beasts sharp hide. It's tail wags to ward off further attacks.

technomagi 03-15-07, 07:19 PM	Nimble sees that Alex is not moving. He isn't very strong so he does not think that he could carry the man. He is hurt pretty bad himself. He doesn't know if there is anything he can do. He watches the beasts from the shadows near the path out of the clearing.
Constructe 03-16-07, 03:28 PM	The other giant lizard awakens and seeing its mate amble off also waving its tail and looking a bit frightened. "Well, I am not any cleric but I think he's dead. We can take him back to my father. He has a doc who has raised quite a few from the dead. But he extracts some sort of price from them, so most don't savor the idea of falling dead." Is this death? Alex feels a comingling of lights that don't have a specific color. He feels warmth and then no sensation, no feeling. He hears mumbling voices but can't identify anything. So strange. Time passes but he seems not to notice or care.
technomagi 03-16-07, 08:30 PM	Nimble seeing the beasts amble off comes out of the shadows. He looks to the Nezumi. I could never carry him by myself but the two of us may be able to manage it. My companion can scout for us and warn us if anything lies ahead. I could maybe scout and create distractions to help us avoid them. What say you? If the Nezumi agrees then Gimble will have his shadow companion fly and scout from the air so that they can carry Alex. If neccessary it can try to create a distraction to lead other lizards away. It can fly and stay out of reach and it is almost as good at hiding as Gimble.
Constructe 03-20-07, 03:45 AM	That sounds good. You don't have a bag of holding? I think if I squished him I could fit him in mine. Well I hope he fits in the opening or you may have to disjoint him to squeeze him in. My my I hope it won't harm him if we can bring him back. I don't know much about dead rituals.
technomagi 03-20-07, 07:36 PM	Gimble rubs his chin thoughtfully. Aye, I got a bag of holding but I don't know if he would fit in it or not. Does your priest require the whole body or just part of one? Perhaps we could just bring his head and all his belongings. At any rate we can try squeezing him in here and if that don't work then we could just bring his head.

I must warn you, ressurection does not work to well in this land for some reason. At best it works once and I have only known a few people who have done it successfully twice."

technomagi 03-24-07, 08:49 PM	OOC:We could use a good fighter type and a cleric definately.
sinrae_kinesti 03-25-07, 07:41 AM	ooc how are you doing stats?
technomagi 03-25-07, 08:12 PM	ooc: or maybe we could just all get tanked lol Gimble needs to track down more scentbreaker when he returns to town.
Constructe 03-25-07, 09:56 PM	As the ressurection proceeds the Tribal leader directs you into his Bazaar, a giant room filled with many merchants. "This place is a little confulsing. If you want give a list of what you want and the market price and my son will see what he can do for you. (Regarding stats, please make yourself a level 10 with normal gold for that level. If it is complicated or super mini maxed please mail me privately first. I accept all official 3.5 books and Dungeon and Dragon Magazine classes etc. Please no Pun Pun stuff... see intro.)
Constructe 03-25-07, 09:59 PM	Alex is a bit unaware of himself as he floats from memory to fleeting memory. Suddenly he feels a warm light and also a gentle tugging. The light fades and he can feel his heart beating. (Please roll D20 and relay to roll to me to complete the awakening).

sinrae_kinesti 03-28-07, 01:29 AM	OOC hey DM dude let me know if and when youre ready to introduce my character
Constructe 03-29-07, 11:52 AM	Light enfolds you and then you hear an angelic voice, but there is something obscuring it... It says something about final times, creation is delicate, wicked construction, for your well being destroy the engine that fuels it... You try to reply, to ask more. But gray and darkness reach out to you. You feel numb... water... water... You wake up from lifelessness and all is blurry, as water is splashed on your face. Your shoulders are aching. "Sorry about that, I had to reset your shoulders. Drugs, metabolism, I could feel your spark... what a name" a ratlike voice chitters away. He talks a mile a minute.... you can't rightly catch most of the conversation."
Constructe 03-29-07, 11:58 AM	They young nezumi returns with scentbreaker. "Is this what you wanted... whew does it stink... Smells a lot like rotten cheese. In fact, he gave me some of the smelly cheese, he said you could rub it on if you think it would help or eat it. He said it was delicious.":P The noble leader returns and says, "I have consulted with my trusting friends and have found an adequate person to aid you on your journey. For I fear for my son. He has been assisting us with the healing arts and seems to be a bit tired of the medical wards. I will leave him to introduce himself." "By the way, regarding the lizards, we tend to clear them away using a vigorous brushfire. It takes brains as well as bravery to survive out there."
technomagi 03-29-07, 06:04 PM	Gimble thanks the nezumi taking the scentbreaker and putting it into the air tight containers he has prepared for it. Thank you, this will do just fine. It helps to throw creatures with sensitive noses off of your trail. This has saved my hide more than once my friend. Gimble smiles at the Nezumi winningly. He heads over to the temple to see if Alex is back with the living or not. Tell me is there a cliff near here?
Constructe 03-30-07, 03:33 AM	"There is no cliffs here. we are on a plain, however there are a few hillocks if you want to jump down a couple feet for fun. We like to have fun too. Simple pleasures are the best. That's what my mom said", the young nezumi said showing his youthfullness with a excited gleam in his eye while thinking about playing around.
technomagi 03-31-07, 02:25 PM	As Gimble walks toward the temple he tells the young Nezumi a heroic tale of how he and and a handful of companions once stopped a huge orc invasion by utilizing a combination of courage, wits and trickery. By executing their ingenious plan they had actually managed to turn the two largest orc chieftains against one another. In their lust for battle the orcs had fought each other rather than destroying the human city they intended to invade. To this day those two tribes war with one another Gimble laughed. They have never figured out the real reason their feud started. Mean while the city of Kaldern has had a long period of peace and prosperity. The warring tribes of orcs have been at one anothers throats so much that they leave them alone.
Constructe 04-03-07, 12:41 PM	That is smart. My father would praise your ingenuity, however, orcs must be a dumb race. Such a tactic could be rooted out by my father and others easily. For he can tell a lie through deep understanding of your nature. That is why he is so careful, for many would wish to be leader and all of them know my father is well aware of their ambition. This is one secret you must keep. For it is why my father wishes me to study abroad. To learn faster than than staying in camp and to put distance from those who think they can assure their family dominance by killing off competitors children. It is a known practice but one no one directly acknowledges. For to commit or attempt to commit such acts requires the death of the plotter and those who assisted along with two of their closest family members innocent or not. Accusations of such are a great big deal. By the way, lets leave tomorrow if its ok with you?
technomagi 04-04-07, 06:18 PM	Gimble laughs. No one ever accused orcs of being very bright. Although I have met a few who are very canny. They usually end up as their leaders. They are very tough and strong though so it is stupid to underestimate them. Fortunately they really don't care who they fight just so they are fighting. That is a little knowledge about the nature of orcs you should remember in case you should ever meet some. They are also only courageous when they believe they are the strongest. Most of the war bands I have seen occur when one very strong leader rises up. The rest only follow him out of fear. And when he dies the arrangement falls apart and they resort to fighting one another. Well let us see how Alex fares then we can make plans from that point on.
sinrae_kinesti 04-05-07, 01:26 AM	He wasn't sure where he was. that wasnt good never was it good when he kne little of his surroundings, he glanced about assessing the landscape, an open plain had little in the way of defensive structures so they would have to be built. what is this place? why am i here? he thought he pulled his red trimmed white cloak up about his dark colored metal armor. he noticed his painted mare 30 paces from his location, grazing contentedly, and smiled at least i still have stacy he smiled thinking about the beautiful horse his father in law had given him. she wasnt much as far as a war horse went but she could run like the wind. throwing his sheild over his back he walked over and took her reins and began leading her toward the largest hill he could find. in the distance he saw a village so he climbed into his saddle and nudged his horse toward the village. She took off like a shot galloping through the plains his white cloak flowing in the wind and his silver holy symbol gleamed in the sun, within no time they were but a short distance from the village so he pulled her back to a slow trot. Rats?... the village is populated by rats? he had heard many things of these creatures and none were good. he brought his sheild down and strapped it to his arm the image of a red horses head dominated his sheild. he rested his hand on his sword pondering how to continue.
Gaelro_Nailo 04-05-07, 02:21 AM	Oening his eyes alex looks around, Well, it would seem that I am not dead. Standing alex begins to look around for gimble. OOC Might not be on much for a few days.
Constructe 04-05-07, 12:38 PM	"Well now that you are together again, would you be so kind as to meet the new portal visitor? It seems he is not too use to us. Perhaps he could go with you. I have peered into his name and he seems not to be evil..." The chief nezumi says. "If he does not wish to join my trusty healer can accompany you, although being quite old he doesn't see too well and can't run. He uses his staff as a crutch. I am sure he could perform his medical duties but he may hold you up a bit." You see the old healer decked out in expensive silk robes. His mane is a white fur and he looks quite fragile and wears overgrown spectacles. If he was human you would guess he was about 85.
technomagi 04-05-07, 06:11 PM	Alex Gimble says with a smile. I am glad to see you. I thought you were a goner. We should go find this new guy I think. I sure hope he is good with a sword or an ax or that he carries weapons of mass destruction or that he can at least shoot a bow. He grins and grabs Alex's hand and shakes it, which probably looks funny since he has to reach up and Alex has to reach down to accomplish this.
sinrae_kinesti 04-06-07, 01:12 AM	there was movement in the village stacy stamped feeling his tenseness. he pulled his helm out from his saddlebags and snapped the visor down. if this turned ugly he didnt want to be caught with his pants down. he drew out his sword and balanced it across his saddle. silently he said a prayer to the lady of strategy asking her not to let him falter on his chosen path. he took the reins in his left hand and guided his sheilded side about so that there would be more steel between him and any coming attacks as well as to conceal his enchanted sword from its out and ready position. he warily watched gathering rats. stacy would bolt if combat ensued and he wouldnt be able to control the frightened beast. he would have to charge her away if any of the ratkin drew steal on him. if that made him look a coward so be it. better a coward than a dead fool, but at least he'd get in one good lick

Hide in plain sight roll 16+19=35 Move silent roll 11+15=26 He orders his shadow companion to to move on the opposite side of the street. Hide in shadows 13+8=21 move silent automatic.
sinrae_kinesti 04-07-07, 07:24 AM	entire post ooc i cant make a 35 just bear in mind i'm in the middle of the feild making no aggressive moves on a horse that looks nervous and ready to bolt anyone with knowledge religion could make a check to identify the red knight holy symbol (she's in faiths and pantheons i dont know the exact page number)
technomagi 04-07-07, 11:58 AM	Once Gimble gets to you he will watch your actions and try to figure out what your intentions are. He doesn't know much about religion so holy symbol you carry doesn't mean much to him other than telling him that you may be a cleric of some kind. If you can make a 21 spot then you can spot his companion. rolls a spot check 12+13=25 to see if he notices anything about you. Could you make a hide check for the sword you are attempting to conceal please. He will note your defensive posture and how skittish your horse is.
Constructe 04-07-07, 02:50 PM	A crowd of nezumi assembles in the village to watch, none makes any hostile moves towards you. Some kids toss some carrots and cake out towards you to see if you go to eat any of them. A couple of kids show little figurines of horses and horses and knights obviously noticing the similarities. I assume you see Gimble and Alex by now.
Gaelro_Nailo 04-07-07, 11:33 PM	Never bening one to wait, Alex walks out toward the newcomer. Once he comes within 40 feet from him alex stops. "Hello there, welcome to.......", alex seems at a lost as to where this place realy is, "..... well I don't truly know where here is but welcome no the less. My name is Alexander Nailo, whom might you be?"
sinrae_kinesti 04-08-07, 12:18 AM	Men in a village of rats? are they lycanthropes? he quietly spoke the words of a detect evil spell gesturing behind his sheild to conceal the casting"Greetings to you sir Alexander, My Name is Andromache and last i recall i rode through Kalimar, though this land has little in common with my home." stacy stamps nervously at the smell of so many of the ratfolk gathering she begins to shift uneasily "easy girl easy" he says to her quietly and comfortingly stroking her neck OOC i see neither of you my adjusted roll is 18, Constructe do i detect any evil?
technomagi 04-08-07, 11:25 AM	I am rolling a spot check to see if Gimble notices the casting of the spell. This is mainly to see if he can conclude that this is some type of spell caster and draw the obvious conclusion as suspected that he is a cleric of some kind. spot roll 5+13=18
sinrae_kinesti 04-09-07, 12:37 AM	OOC i dont see why you wouldnt have already drawn that conclusion he is wearing symbols of an obscure little known demigod who was elevated to godhood by tempus lol (i'm wearing a full helm so you wouldnt see the casting especially since i did the gestures behind the sheild, the 18 was to see if i could spot your shadow twin or whatever you called it, sorry for the miscommunication)
sinrae_kinesti 04-09-07, 01:58 AM	ooc thought to let you know i will be leaving to head back to the states soo so i wont be able to post for a few days minimum. you guys have fun
technomagi 04-11-07, 07:23 PM	ooc: I'm sure Gimble can figure out that you're a cleric but he is scouting you out to figure out your intentions. If you are hiding your sword and hiding the fact that you are casting spells and he can see this because he is watching for it then it gives him information. For instance if he knows that you just cast a spell but there are no ill effects then he might ascertain that you are either putting up protective magics or attempting to gather information. knowing that you have your sword readied but are keeping it concealed says that you are either cautious and prepared for the worse or that you are prepared to make an assassination attempt. Given certain information then he can make judgements pertaining to your character. The shadow's hide was a 21 so your 18 didn't spot him.
Constructe 04-11-07, 09:57 PM	Game Mechanics: The fact you cast behind shields etc. makes no difference regarding their ability to spot such things unless there is a specified modifier to the save. Maybe they see your shoulder muscles move or your fumble or look distracted, etc. Otherwise every spellcaster would make a fake shield just to never be detected casting lol. BTW you detect no evil auras. And if you check you will find a smattering of good auras.
technomagi 04-24-07, 08:15 PM	Are we still playing?
Gaelro_Nailo 04-25-07, 12:19 AM	Was waiting till sinrae_kinesti said something before I posted again.
Constructe 04-25-07, 01:45 AM	I was waiting for something to happen too. We can continue as long as there are two players. Let's assume the new guy is too leery to talk and makes camp outside the village. Then we can get on with the show. He can show up later if he comes back. Everyone is waiting for you guys to go on your journey again. You hear a casual conversation from a young Nezumi mentioning that the weather will change soon.
technomagi 04-28-07, 04:50 PM	I have an idea that might help a little. What if we either played a second character or got some cohorts as per the leadership feat? Then we would have our much needed extra manpower.
Constructe 04-29-07, 02:07 AM	Yes... I suppose leadership would help... although they might have to get used to death a lot haha. Anyway it's pretty clear you need a tanker. 2 heroes never really works because it is human to always naturally favor one and let te other go lacking. Well leadership really doesn't give you a tank more like it gives you fodder unless you prime your build around your mount etc.
technomagi 05-02-07, 10:21 PM	What ever you think is best. A plain jane fighter doesn't take much thought to play and would be a huge help.
Constructe 05-03-07, 01:43 AM	Sure why don't you add a second character like you had leadership, provided ypou commit to take leadership later. You do not get any othe leadership benefit than a cohort. Then lets get going... Time's a wastin...

sinrae_kinesti 05-04-07, 01:51 AM	thank you for your support techno.
sinrae_kinesti 05-04-07, 04:43 AM	detecting no evil he sheathes the sword he had balanced across his saddle and dismounts. not totally lowering his guard but more relaxedthan before. stacy however continues to stamp about nervously as he holds her reigns. "you will have to excuse my cautiousness but you can never be too sure when coming to a new place, that and it isnt often i see ratfolk." he glances about the gathering.
technomagi 05-04-07, 07:12 PM	Gimble steps out of the shadows as if stepping out of nowhere. He is cautious as well, but he figures this fellow is probably friendly. Greetings, I am gimble. You see a hafling dressed in dark colored leather armor wearing a dark grey cloak. When I get a chance I will make a cohort and put it up. It will be a fighter. I guess 9th level. I will get leadership as soon as I get another feat. Also how do you want me to do stats and gold for the cohort?
technomagi 05-04-07, 07:25 PM	Cohort Background: Long ago as a young boy Taggart had his city saved by a group of adventurers. He decided that he would try to keep his city safe when he became older so he trained as a fighter and for some time did much to keep his city safe. He soon learned that he had a nack for training animals and creatures which could be useful in different ways. During quiet times Taggart would train citizens to fight or train his pets. During times when the city was threatened he would work to defeat the threats. Eventually his town no longer needed him. He had done his job well enough that the city had one of the best standing armies around to defend it augmented by well trained animals and creatures to help them in various ways. He felt that he had completed this life goal, but there was something else that he wanted to do. He wanted to travel with the heroes that had set him on this path and help them save other towns. His new quest eventually led him to Gimble.

Description: The statistics presented here can describe any arboreal monkey that is no bigger than a housecat, such as a colobus or capuchin. Bobo has been trained to come when she is called, fetch things, Untie knots and spy by Taggart. Unfortunately Gimble has been a bad influence on her and taught her how to pick pockets. She is harmless but she does like to try and get at food items and shiny things. Trained Guardian creature: Krenshar Merlin: Medium Magical Beast ; HD 2d10 (Magical Beast) ; hp 20; Init +2; Spd 40; AC:15 (Flatfooted:13 Touch:12); Atk +2 base melee, +4 base ranged; +2/-3 (1d6, Bite; 1d4, 2 Claws); SA: Scare (Ex) ; SQ: Scent (Ex); AL N; SV Fort +3, Ref +5, Will +1; STR 11, DEX 14, CON 11, INT 6, WIS 12, CHA 13. Description: The krenshar is a strange, catlike carnivore with extremely flexible skin. A typical individual measures 4 or 5 feet in length with a long, narrow head. Males and females hunt together in packs, preferring herd animals for food but attacking humanoids when game becomes scarce. Krenshars are very social among their own kind, and occasional attempts to domesticate cubs have produced fierce and loyal companions. They otherwise behave much like mundane great cats. A lair contains cubs numbering half the adult total. Merlin is trained to guard, stay, attack and come when he is called. His ability to scare is handy against would be thieves and he is even house broken. Combat: Krenshars use solitary scouts to drive prey into the waiting clutches of the pack. The scout appears from hiding, uses its scare ability, then chases the fleeing target to join the attack. Special Attacks: Scare (Ex or Su): As a standard action, a krenshar can pull the skin back from its head, revealing the musculature and bony structures of its skull. This alone is usually sufficient to scare away foes (treat as a Bluff check with a +3 bonus). Combining this scare ability with a loud screech produces an unsettling effect that works like scare cast by a 3rd-level sorcerer (save DC 12). If the save is successful, that opponent cannot be affected again by that krenshar's scare ability for one day. The shriek does not affect other krenshars.
sinrae_kinesti 05-05-07, 12:54 AM	"greetings to you Gimble"he lifts his visor to show his battle worn visage then extends a hand in greeting. he glances about the place his blue eyes taking in the surroundings. OOC im going to take 10 on a knowledge planes check for a 22 to see if this region exhibits qualities of the material plane or if it seems to favor an alignment. being that i was pulled through a portal
sinrae_kinesti 05-05-07, 06:46 AM	i have an idea for a heck of a fighter. dumb as a stump though but thats alright. i love the character
technomagi 05-05-07, 08:21 AM	i have an idea for a heck of a fighter. dumb as a stump though but thats alright. i love the character It would really help. We got slaughtered pretty bad in our first encounter. I have had the idea for Taggart for a long time. I wanted to make a fighter that capitalizes on their ability to train animals. Will your fighter refer to himself in the third person and consider two word sentences to be long conversations? lol "Hulk Smash!
technomagi 05-05-07, 08:46 AM	Gimble reaches up and takes his hand. He notes how you seem unshaken by his sudden appearance out of no where. Pleased to meet you. If you approve Taggart, how soon will you work him into the story?
sinrae_kinesti 05-06-07, 11:54 PM	"does any of the locals know where we are?" he looks over at the rat folk. "where is Kalimar from here? or Calimshan? or even Waterdeep? does anyone know the name of the nearest city?"
sinrae_kinesti 05-06-07, 11:56 PM	strogan is a fighter/barbarian/frenzied berserker. and he is a braindamaged down syndrome dwarf
Constructe 05-07-07, 12:54 AM	The rat people just shrug. "We have no idea what you are talking about? Is that a place or a country or something?" "Well we must be off..." the young nezumi says, "Time's a wasting and spring is getting long in the tooth. I'd hate to be out too long during the making time." "You bet... a few kids chuckle, you may get eaten by nasty fire or rocks." The nezumi wizard glares at them and run off. "Haha I won't be afraid of your evil eye if you become toast to a fire demon or water monster." "You just shut up." The wizard yells back at them, "They are elementals not demons you oaf. And anyway, spring's not over."
sinrae_kinesti 05-07-07, 01:04 AM	thinking to himself he scratches his chin.they have not heard of any of the major regions of faerun. unless I now find myself in a backwater far far from civilization i must no longer be within the realm of faerun. perhaps no longer even on toril "Elementals? it makes little sense to make a distinction between them and demons if they make no distinction between you and intruders to their realms. you still wind up just as dead." he looks directly at the one who was yelling at the children. "elementals are a selfish being they care for neither good nor evil, only for themselves"
technomagi 05-07-07, 07:06 PM	Their logic is whimsical and thier culture alien to you tall one. They probably won't understand what you are saying to them. Gimble begins singing a common tavern song from his own realm called A Five Foot Flirt. It seem a little strange to hear a three foot halfling singing about a two timing five foot woman but his voice is good and he even throws in a little dance as he moves along.
Gaelro_Nailo 05-07-07, 09:56 PM	"Your from toril? Master been there before, he showed me all kinds of maps." Alex kneels down and traces lines in the dirt. When he is done he looks up at Andromache. "Is this the area around Waterdeep? Or is masters maps off again." OOC: Do I need to do an Int check to see how well alex remembers the map?
Constructe 05-07-07, 10:08 PM	"You are right." the young Nezumi Wizard says. "Only I understand you. Also we have no idea what lands you speak of. My father said that elementals are creatures of nature unlike demons that are perversions of spirit. Anyway, after the mild time comes a cycle of making and unmaking in which this world gets altered by elemental forces. This time is much more dangerous than the mild time we use for growing and harvesting. Then there is another mild time followed by a time of chaos. This is the most dangerous time I think where unnatural beings tend to appear. After that there is the respite and then the time of the dead. That is when demons come out usually but not often. It is a time of undead. Although there are not too many given that this land is new. I suppose most of them come from the worlds you speak. Old, corrupted lands. We Nezumi have no love for the barbarous human worlds that would drive us out just because we are closer to nature and more physically and spiritually talented. That's why my father insists we learn human ways, magic and science and the like. The other elders hate him for that but he is the not just the leader but is also the tribe's shaman making him the head spiritualist so they can't say much."

"yes that is waterdeep" he looks back to the young nezumi wizard and nods. "it is wise to learn the ways of those who seek to destroy you. but never should you give up the roots you hold dear.

He pats the cat like creature gently on the head and scratches its ear making it purr. A monkey climbs onto Taggert's shoulder and routes through his back pack coming out with a snack. It perches there munching on a piece of dried fruit. You got a scent again, Merlin? Taggert says to the krenshar. It looks up at him its tail flicking back and forth. It has been months sense we've seen any sign of him. He reaches back and scratches the monkey behind the ear. Then he puts his fingers in his mouth and gives an odd combination of whistles. Shortly a war horse trots up. Taggart climbs into the saddle. Merlin, track. The krenshar looks up at him makes a strange mewling sound. It sniffs the ground and continues in the direction it was travelling before.

Constructe 05-14-07, 07:22 AM	"Yes I do. But it is not sweet. It's a meat pie. It may not suit you too well though." He pulls some meat pie out and casts some spell on it.

technomagi 05-15-07, 06:19 PM	Gimble accepts the meat pie sniffing it, "It smells good." He munches on it. "I have been thinking about this leader thing and I think that I should be the leader because I am the shortest. Every one knows the best leaders are vertically challenged so they tend to make up for it by exibiting remarkable leadership talents. ooc: Did they ever find your missing soldiers sinrae? I hope they do. Sometimes I wonder if why we didn't just drop a nuke on the place a long time ago. I know that isn't the right attitude. A lot of good innocent people live there too. I really cannot say what bothers me more, the complacency of Americans or the growing boldness of the terrorists. Did you know that it has become politically incorrect to say terrorist or to call something a terrorist attack? Next thing you know they will just ship a nucleur missile to the terrorists UPS and stand out in their front yard and wait for it to land because it is to politically incorrect to keep breathing. Sorry I'm ranting. Back to Reality.

My dad told me not to eat in the open because the smell attracts predators." the young Nezumi says matter of factly as he falls behind you as the party tromps through the path surrounded by large leafted plants, some of which are about 6 feet high.
technomagi 05-17-07, 09:28 PM	Actually I got that covered. He says polishing off the last couple of bites and licking his fingers. He commands his shadow to fly and scout ahead. It remains hidden in the shadow of trees if there are any and it will report back if it spots anything. OK, well I am off to do what I do, and when we get back to town we are having a party. I love being the leader. I'm going to scout ahead. If I spot anything I will send my companion to signal you. hide in plain sight roll. 12+18=30 Move Silent 16+15=31
Constructe 05-18-07, 12:03 AM	The path ahead seems devoid of the huge lumbering beasts last time however your shadow is a bit confused. In replacement there seems a veritable feast of large sized birds and animals roaming about. All seem possible threats. Farther off there seems to be an area to the left where the number of creatures seem very sparse for some reason. The only thing the shadow really feeds back is lots of animals... big animals... less animals left.
sinrae_kinesti 05-18-07, 08:07 AM	ooc: not yet techno... but we will find them no soldier is left behind. and then we will slaughter the ...people that took them. i couldnt give a ... crap about being politically correct. thhe only reason I censor my language here is because if i dont the admin guys will.

technomagi 05-18-07, 07:04 PM	Gimble doubles back popping out of the shadows in front of the group. We haven't spotted any of the large Lizards that we saw last time. We do seem to have a lot of large animals and birds. My companion says there are less animals off to the left. He looks to the Nezumi. Is there anything that you can think of that we should be on the look out for? Me and my companion can go back to scouting ahead. Also if any of you know sign language then you can communicate to me without making a bunch of noise and alerting big critters to our approach. OOC:I will continue to pray for those soldiers. I am getting real sick of this PC stuff. It shows a severe lack of common sense to shoot yourself in the foot or to allow someone else to harm you in a very real way just to avoid hurting their feelings. I like to see how PC all these politicians would remain if they were the ones being held prisoner by Al Quaida. Besides that you will never appease these people by giving them what they want or talking all pretty to them. How can you appease someone who wants to kill you so badly that they will surrender their own life to end yours. They don't care about diplomacy they just want to blow **** up. Sorry I'm venting again.
Constructe 05-21-07, 02:48 AM	Gulp the young wizard says. "I don't see how we're going to get through this plain without a fight although I'm happy the big beasts we saw last time aren't around." The nezumi looks to the left where there are some large snakes gorging on zebra looking things (you see at least 3). Ahead there are some very big bears fishing in a stream (5), and to the right there area pack of wolves prowling around (around 8 or so). All are large and threatening looking. A few birds fly overhead. "If we can get past the snakes it looks clear but I fear that may mean an even bigger danger. The simple fact is we should hurry, before the season changes. Elementals are dangerous. If we are lucky we have a few weeks before the next seasonal phase."
technomagi 05-21-07, 05:56 PM	"And where exactly are you trying to get to?" Gimble asks picking up a half dozen stones and juggling them. If we get past the plain what lies beyond?
Constructe 05-22-07, 10:03 AM	"Actually I have no idea. My dad says he can feel other races somewhere but doesn't know exactly where. Nezumis tend to keep to themselves so since we have what we want for the most part we stay in our community. That is unless resources run thin. Anyway, I need some experience to advance my wizardry..." The nezumi smiles.
technomagi 05-22-07, 07:49 PM	I sometimes ponder the irony of travel. Gimble allows the stones to click together as they land in his left hand one by one. The more places one goes the more they all seem the same. Yet the last time I returned home it seemed alien and strange to me. It looked just like I remembered it only a little older, some of the hovels had collapsed and the paint seemed more faded. A couple of new things had been built. Yet I felt like I didn't belong there any more. Do you think that will happen to you young Nezumi?
sinrae_kinesti 05-24-07, 08:29 AM	he looks over at gimble "you have paint on your hovels?" even in the big towns i have seen very few homes had paint, your village must be wealthy"
technomagi 05-24-07, 07:21 PM	"No it isn't a wealthy village. Halflings just happen to love music, food and colorful accomadations. Our small villages are much different than human towns. We tend to decorate our homes and to plant flowers in our gardens as much as we do food. He gives him a wink. My family always thought that I was much to serious. It is why I became an adventurer you know." Gimble sighs looking dreamily off into space. "You know I miss their celebrations. No one celebrates like a halfling. Oh, and my grandmother's cookies." He licked his lips at the thought.

Well the Nezumi says, "Maybe you can find some halflings in this world. We Nezumi love to meet fun people although we have not had good experiences with humans. They tend to be rather racist against whiskered people."
technomagi 05-26-07, 05:07 PM	Taggart looks back at Strogan as he mounts his horse. "Merlin, has caught a scent I think." The cat like creature bounds off and Taggart rides after. He tends to put a little distance between the smelly dwarf and himself. Gimble points looks extremely pleased at the compliment to halflings. "Aye, sir that would be a party to be remembered.
sinrae_kinesti 05-27-07, 05:23 AM	Strogan looks at Taggart then back to the cat. "kitty go? strogan go kitty kitty good" strogan chases after the cat afoot singing dumbly "strogan strogan, strogan strogan" Andromache "what sort of beasts are we seeking?"
Gaelro_Nailo 05-27-07, 08:50 PM	"I have a suggestion, why don't we return to the village and I will scry on the surronding area. That way we know what kind of creatures are here and if there are any places of interests."
technomagi 05-28-07, 07:05 PM	Taggart didn't laugh even though he found it all a little amusing. The dwarf wasn't to bright and he smelled like the trash heap behind a seaport tavern, but he could fight. For some reason Merlin found him amusing and the two would play whenever they camped. Taggart suspected the Kreshar was the smarter of the two although he could not speak. He was sure the monkey was smarter. It found it amusing to steal things from the dwarf and then tease him with it. It was a wonder the dwarf hadn't snapped and killed the little pest and he had found himself in the uncomfortable position of playing referee.
technomagi 05-28-07, 07:10 PM	Gimble looks to the mage. Do you have to be in town to do that or could be just pause here and let you do that?
Gaelro_Nailo 05-28-07, 07:17 PM	Alex smiles sheepishly, "Well I could, but was hoping to sleep in a real bed soon. But if I find anything I have a feeling it will be a long time till we get a chance to."
sinrae_kinesti 05-29-07, 12:52 AM	ooc in regard to strogan and taggart. it is not a good idea to mess with a brain damaged dwarf that doesnt know when to stop. the only thing he carries on him that the monkey could take is his "kitty bag" which typically has something dead in it and usually ends up in the cauldron he carries on his back or his large soup ladle which smells just as bad as he does and has stuff caked on it from whatecer he was cooking last. (by the way the monkey is also referred to as beard kitty) as for the krenshar strogan would probably kill it with his "love" or hurt it in such a manner that it would never play with him again completely unintentionally (imagine a three year old with a kitten) BIC Andromache "there is no sense in back tracking once our journey has begun" he leads stacy by the halter occasionaly reaching back to stroak her mane.

His English is hard to understand and he often has to repeat things twice. (Let me know what you're scrying and your scry check)
technomagi 05-29-07, 08:29 PM	Gimble does a little any meany miny moe thing and ends up on the bears. "any feel like going to see the bears?" ooc:they haven't won a super bowl in years how tough could they be. lol gotcha on the taggart and Stroggan thing. Merlin is leary of letting the dwarf get to close to him, besides he smells bad. The monkey probably still messes with him. He knows slight of hand so Stroggan probably keeps finding rocks in his kitty bag. Hopefully he isn't dumb enough to try and eat them. Monkeys are mischievous and don't have much in the way of common sense. (really mean 3 yr old with a magic kitten the size of a puma that can cast scare.)

Do any of you want to roast marshmellows?" he says as he pulls out little fluffy white things and starts sticking them on sticks. You have never heard of such things but they start to smell good.

Andro asks leaning forward curiously stacy resting in the darkness tosses her mane as though something foul came across her nose. Strogan pokes Taggart with a stubby pointer finger "Strogan look shiny burn burn." he points off toward the horizon where there is the faint glowing speck of a fire. "no beard go, go strogan? strogan go, go burn burn, no beard go strogan?"
Gaelro_Nailo 05-30-07, 10:50 AM	"That dose smell good, I'll try some." Alex watchs the young wizard as he roasts the little white fluff.

Merlin lay on the ground facing looking toward the fire. Her tail flicking back and forth showing her excitement. "Alright Stroggan let's see if they are friendly. We should be able to get there pretty quick as long as we don't meet anything in the dark. The monkey jumps up on his shoulder and he climbs up onto his horse.

Constructe 05-31-07, 05:55 AM	Yes. The nezumi offers you some. I suppose he has a different protocol for eating since afterwards he offers you some sort of stew that starts brewing in a pot. Unfortunately, the delicious smell of cooking meat seems to have attracted a few onlookers as you see a few eyes in the dark darting around the trees. If you have any wilderness ability you will notice that they are canine eyes, and quite large at that. And there are several. They seem to be circling in... closer and closer...:eek:
sinrae_kinesti 05-31-07, 06:33 AM	ooc be sure and let us know when our reinforcements arrive Andro looks up and notes the canine advance "we have company friends" he smiles as he stands and draws his blade and readies his sheild.

Constructe 06-03-07, 02:42 AM	Gimble spies upon a couple nearest to him. As he moves undetectedly he is attacked (Scent). These are wolves with strong sinew muscles and sharp fangs. They are larger than any you have seen before and well honed for taking out prey fast. They attack together landing upon you at exactly the same time. Their viselike jaws snap at your neck ans shoulders... (42 and 36 to hit dealing 19 and 17 damage respectively. If they hit you must avoid a trip attack Str+7). The other wolves seem to still be looking for a a good opportunity to attack. They seem to be very used to such ambushes.
sinrae_kinesti 06-03-07, 03:12 AM	the nearest one so long as it is not within attack of opp range i am going to smite with my flame strike spell in an attempt to frighten the others away. (i imagine a pillar of flame falling from the heavens to kill or maim one of there buddies might be a little intimidating) Andro roars loudly and proclaims "the wages of your transgression is death and death shall you recieve! By the power of the Red Knight Icondemn you to the fires of hell!" with a flourish he releases his flame strike spell. 42 points of damage reflex dc 20 for half when i finish the spell i'm going to cast bless (unless something happens between now and then to make me change my mind) Strogan sees the pillar of flame and is momentarily awe inspired. "oooooooooooooooooo shiny burn burn. shiny burn burn good. Strogan go go" strogan pushes as much speed as he can out of his stubby legs because "shiny burn burn" usually implies battle and that is one of strogans favorite verbs (though he doesnt know the word)
technomagi 06-03-07, 09:32 AM	ooc:You must be using a house rule here. I have read what Scent does and all it says is +4 to wilderness lore checks for tracking. It does not say that the creature with scent suddenly knows blind fighting. Nor do I see where scent allows the creature to know what sqare Gimble would be in. They would have to make a spot check to overcome my hide.
sinrae_kinesti 06-04-07, 03:02 AM	ooc just had to add my two cents I'm not sure if i'm thinking the right game or not (ive played and ran five different systems) but if wolves have tracking scent doesnt that allow them a limited blind sense? from a biological standpoint canines have poor eyesight that is counteracted by their scent, though D&D doesn exactly go along with biological realities. so i suppose it wouldnt be too much of a stretch to say an wolf has blind sense as a feature of its scent. so if this is the case then the intimidate factor of my pillar of flame would in reality be the sudden flash of light and heat followed by the scent of burnt hair and brimstone.
Constructe 06-05-07, 12:03 AM	SRD: Scent: If it moves within 5 feet of the scent’s source, the creature can pinpoint that source. (They have been tracking you for a while not like they needed to while you were camping.) And yes, D&D isn't exacly like the real world. Creatures tracking by scent ignore the effects of surface conditions and poor visibility. Hide is a visual thing, it has nothing to do with masking smell. If the wolf can speak he would say "I don't have to see you if you stink". The flash of light does 3 things. You clearly see there are 5 massive wolves. The ones that was hit yelps and pulls back with its comrade (closest easily targeted one is the ones that attacked). The other wolves keep at bay. They seem to be watching one another to determine their next action.
technomagi 06-05-07, 05:27 PM	ooc:actually Gimble has hide in plain sight which is described as a supernatural ability to hide even when there is nothing to hide behind. Besides that in the monster manual under Special qualities it says that scent does not reveal the exact location of a creature it only reveals its pressence. Gimble is moving not staying in one place they might know that he is in the vicinity but they still need to make a spot to attack him. It is no different than when he uses the ability right in front of someone. They know he is around but they cannot see where he is.
Constructe 06-05-07, 10:15 PM	SRD trumps MM. Anyway, I don't want to get caught up in semantics. Let's just say they attacked you but you get a 50% miss chance. Roll a 6 die and 1-3 they hit you. Technically if something pinpoints you that means it is the same as seeing you. Also hide has nothing to do with masking your BO. Unless your hide in plain sight includes taking a 15 minute bath or shower each time you do it (then I guess I'd allow it but it probably isn't worth wasting 15 minutes). Ummm next time please note that I don't allow hide in plain sight to hide from animals using scent to detect you.:P If I do recall someone was sharp enough to buy scent blocking stuff last time you were in town. He was on the right track. BTW.. their spot is +10. Speaking of Spot. The wolves are now lurking in the shadows and trees. The Nezumi shoots a weak ass fireball. You see two eyes close to where it went off before it runs off behind another tree.

(I'm casting detect evil)
Constructe 06-10-07, 07:06 AM	There is no trace of evil in them... You hear growling in the woods.
sinrae_kinesti 06-10-07, 07:16 AM	Andro reaches for the simmering pot takes it by the handle and hurls it into the woods in the direction of the wolves. (i dont know how big it is but i'm assuming it isnt huge just in case it is i made a str check of 14... that is unless someone stops me)

"Well, at least it wasn't my best pot the Nezumi laughs. I'll have to settle for beef jerkey." To those who have a listen check over 15... You hear wolves munching on the stew. Apparently they like it.
sinrae_kinesti 06-12-07, 04:51 AM	"lets move before they decide they want more" andro says as he brings stacy to her feet. "there is still a wounded animal amongst the wolves and it may decide it wants to bite back"
Constructe 06-14-07, 01:56 AM	"I'm up for that." The Nezumi says. (It seems like there is only 1 poster after the scent discussion. I wonder if they dropped?)
sinrae_kinesti 06-14-07, 02:06 AM	ooc that would be unfortunate. perhaps someone could PM them to see if they plan on continuing?
