Orcy The Green Wonder 01-13-07, 03:09 AM	The Riverbowl Hills rest in the area of the Guildlands. A large lake lying centered in a set of mountains and hills. The water rests in the center of the hills, carving a large bowl out of them which is set at a very steep drop down to the water. The hills have a few crude roads running through them that are often traveled to reach crude resources in the mountains. Monsters roam the hills more in recent days than ever before as a result of the shifting balance after the war. These hills are notorious for bandits, and are quite dangerous these days without an armored escort. In recent days the outpost that exists here has been left to the elements, unused and un-tended. Some believe the bandits are using some of these outposts as a stronghold to attack travelers from, but even the bandits are hard pressed with the current group of monsters that walks the land, united under some unknown force. Current Quests: MONSTERS! Battle Map (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v353/BaddieX51/Ogbanar/hills.gif) Orange-brown: Dirt (level ground, example: K1) Dark Brown: Hills/Rocks (difficult terrain, example: A1) (+10-50ft) Light Brown: Road (level ground, example: A9) ((Map color code and the like listed as what the terrain is, as well, examples are given because of an argument over what certain colors should be called on the last map... you know who you are.))
thasis 01-14-07, 05:02 PM	(OOC: same spells prepared today as I mentioned last time) Lucien slips onto the field, invisible as usual with his ring of invisibility tightly fitted aroudn his left index finger. Lucien looks about for signs of these monsters. (OOC: Where are these maps?)
Wilds 01-14-07, 09:56 PM	Patyr walks to the edge of the lake and stares into his reflection. A pondering gaze overcoming his face. Yet aware of what exists around him.
Zombomaniac 01-14-07, 10:40 PM	"Funny, the first to arrive are all heavy spell casters." Osru looks disdainfully at the lake and the grass. "Gods, I miss the desert."
Orcy The Green Wonder 01-15-07, 12:39 AM	Passing through the hills on your way toward the riverbowl lake, it becomes rather clear that you are not alone. The scraping of claws on stone and a low growl attests to the fact that you are indeed not alone. Up ahead a massive form makes itself known and marches down the path, a large blue-skinned lizard creature with many heads. Leaping from the rocks above come three humanoids covered with white scales with a decidedly draconic looking face. The lead draconic creature walks forward, a pair of massive bears walking just behind him. Holding out his sword infront of him he grins. "Leave your possessions and walk away from them. We'll let ya live if you play right. Or maybe we'll just gut ya anyway, I don't know, depends on what mood I'm in when yer done droppin things." ((The battle map is in the first post above the specifics describing what the colors mean. There is a link that says "battle map."))
Wilds 01-15-07, 11:35 AM	Patyr looks up from his reflection. "How about you leave these people alone?" He shifts to fully face the group of draconic bloods. "You know its groups like you that give us bad names...." OOC: Patyr readies to cast ray of enfeeblement at the closest enemy if they attack him.
Zombomaniac 01-15-07, 02:23 PM	OOC: Osru readies a Scorching Ray, but other wise does nothing. Also Orcy how much gold did I get from selling those crossbows and the looted armor?
Lord_of_Vain 01-15-07, 04:03 PM	I'll join, though I am not entirely familiar of how this works online. (I know exactly how to play DnD.)
thasis 01-15-07, 06:21 PM	Lucien stands back and readies a fireball action with a grin on his face. OOC: Still invisible of course.
Zombomaniac 01-15-07, 06:41 PM	I'll join, though I am not entirely familiar of how this works online. (I know exactly how to play DnD.) OOC: Vain you are speaking Out of Character in a In Character Thread. If you want to join and/or have questions go to the Ogbanar: Rise of the Guilds (http://boards1.wizards.com/showthread.php?t=751579)Thread, not here. Thank you.
Orcy The Green Wonder 01-17-07, 05:16 PM	Upon seeing you all begin chanting and waving your hands to prepare spells, the creatures move to the attack. The bears roar loudly as the bandits step forward with drawn swords. On turning toward the many headed beast preparing to give it the command to attack. (initiative, you may place yourselves anywhere in the bottom two rows of the map, Orcy will post up positions when everything is rolled.)
Wilds 01-17-07, 06:22 PM	Initiative roll: 7 http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=830177 I would like to be at S8 but not with in 30 feet of any enemies. I am unclear as too where they all are
thasis 01-18-07, 12:58 AM	I'm on A10 and I'm invisibile. I have a Fireball readied and my iniative is: 18 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=830575)
Dyne 01-18-07, 08:37 AM	While the two groups are disputing, Dench makes his way along the road, whistling all the way. Before he realizes it, he is standing among the adventurers as they are readying spells. When he sees the draconic creatures start to charge, the blood orc readies himself for battle. OoC: Will post up position and initiative later today, I have to run.
Orcy The Green Wonder 01-19-07, 03:21 PM	((Orcy is still waiting on a few initiative rolls, and Thasis, you cannot start at A10, Orcy said bottom of the map.))
Zombomaniac 01-19-07, 06:23 PM	initiative: 15 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=833870) location: T11
Dyne 01-19-07, 06:50 PM	(Location: S10) (Initiative: 22 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=833934)
thasis 01-20-07, 01:47 PM	(alright I'll show up at T10)
Orcy The Green Wonder 01-22-07, 03:18 AM	The creatures move foward, but Dench finds himself faster. Order: Dench Half Dragons Lucien Osru Hydra Patyr Dire bears Dire Bears: H-I 7-8 and H-I 12-13 Half Dragons: L10, F8, F12 Hydra: A-B 10-11
Dyne 01-22-07, 09:45 PM	With lightning reflexes, Dench draws his axe and strides forward several paces. With a surge of arcane energy, he hurls the weapon in a straight line, headed directly for one of the half-dragons and the hydra behind him. Unfortunately, the weapon veers off to the left, totally missing both targets. (Move to N10, cast Whirling Blade) Attack 1 vs. Half-Dragon (1d20+11=17) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=839014) Damage 1 vs. Half-Dragon (1d12+8=9, 1d6=4) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=839018) Attack 1 vs. Hydra (1d20+11=12) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=839021) (Crappy rolls, I think both missed, but I rolled damage for the first just in case)
Orcy The Green Wonder 01-23-07, 02:53 AM	The first of the half dragons steps forward, slashing at Dench with his falchion. Misisng with that he lunges in and snaps his jaws onto the blood orc's shoulder. The others take up javelins, one hurling his at the blood orc and the other at Patyr. Dench is struck by the javelin thrown at him but the half dragon attacking Patyr nearly impales himself throwing his javelin upward. Dench: 16 damage Half Dragons move to: M10, J8, and J12 Lucien is up.
thasis 01-23-07, 10:02 AM	Lucien casts the prepared fireball, right behind the dragon (at square L10), then activating his ring again to disapear as quickly as he apeared. 30 Damage (http://invisiblecastle.com/rolldice.py?u=Lucien&r=1&d=8d6&n=Fireball+Against+Half-Dragons&a=Roll+the+dice)
Zombomaniac 01-23-07, 08:20 PM	Osru looses his readied Scorching Ray at the lead draconic creature (at L10). Two rays shoot from his hand both arching toward the lead creature. Ray 1 Ranged Touch attack roll: 17 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=840402) Ray 2 Ranged Touch attack roll: 15 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=840408) Ray 1 Damage: 4d6 fire = 16 fire (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=840378) Ray 2 Damage: 4d6 fire = 16 fire (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=840389)
Orcy The Green Wonder 01-25-07, 12:55 AM	Thasis, Orcy will need a save DC, and Dench will need to make a reflex save as well.
Orcy The Green Wonder 01-29-07, 01:18 AM	The half dragons scream painfully as the magic of the fireball washes over them. The heat from the flames scorching their white skin in many places. The lead creature growls menacingly before the rays strike him as well and he is sent to an early grave. The Hydra roars and charges forward, it's many mouths lashing out to bite at Dench, being the only individual to have come close enough for it's many jaws. A few of it's mouths manage to clamp down on the blood orc, drawing out some of firey blood his people are known to possess.
Wilds 01-29-07, 08:33 AM	Patyrs turn to the hydra and snarls then wimpers at it. A ray of energy shoots to hit the hydra. Ray of Enfleeblement, ranged touch attack 21 to hit (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=848480) 6 strength damage (http://invisiblecastle.com/rolldice.py?u=Patyr&r=1&d=1d6%2B3&n=Ray+of+Enfeeblement+effect&a=Roll+the+dice) if it hits
Dyne 01-31-07, 02:54 PM	As fire swirls around his form, Dench snarls at Lucien. He ducks down into a defensive crouch just before the flames pass over him, minimizing the burns. Reflex save vs. fireball (1d20+3=21) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=851769) How much damage did the Hydra do?
Orcy The Green Wonder 02-01-07, 12:01 AM	In response to the commands grunted by the remaining draconic figures, the massive bears begin circling around their prey. Bringing themselves closer to those who have so far repained hidden in the back of the group. The Hydra's body spasms a bit in reaction to the ray that strikes it, and it roars angrily, a chill white fog coming from it's mouths. As it looks over those who it would call it's prey. (Dench you are up and you take 15 fireball damage, and 30 hydra bite damage) Locations: Half Dragons: J8 and J12 Hydra: LM 10-11 Dire Bears: NO 1-2 and PQ 12-13
Dyne 02-01-07, 12:16 AM	Roaring in fury, with adrenaline pumping through his veins, the blood orc lashes out against the hydra. The axe barely cuts into the surface, slashing a shallow wound into the creature's body. Aching from his multiple wounds, Dench then retreats a step back. Rage, attack Hydra, 5-foot step back. So I'm now at O10. Attack against Hydra (Rage) (1d20+13=23) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=852716) Damage against Hydra (Rage) (1d12+10=11, 1d6=3) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=852727)
thasis 02-01-07, 08:02 PM	(OOC: Dyne, sorry for the blast, I forgot it'd hit you... :(... oh and it's Lucien not Thasis for IC. Also, who's turn is it now?)
Orcy The Green Wonder 02-01-07, 08:40 PM	The first of the draco's charges forward, slashing with his sword into Patyr's body. His blade leaving a nice gouge in the man's flesh once it has finished it's pass. The second moves foward, opening it's mouth wide to let out a blast of chilling fog. It's breath is aimed however not at the blood orc, but rather the location where the pair of attacks that killed the creature's comrade originated from. The breath flowing out over the two standing in said area. Patyr: 17 damage Lucien and Osru: Reflex saves DC 15, 25 damage on fail, 13 on success Half Dragons at... R8 and P11
Zombomaniac 02-03-07, 10:41 PM	Osru curse as the breath hits him, but is thankfully able to avoid the beunt of it. Ref save: 15 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=857168) success
thasis 02-04-07, 02:12 AM	Lucien warry of his own protection reinforces himself with a Mage Armor.
Orcy The Green Wonder 02-04-07, 02:20 AM	((Orcy needs a reflex save from you thasis...))
Zombomaniac 02-05-07, 08:05 PM	(Pssst...Thasis! Reflex save.)
Orcy The Green Wonder 02-05-07, 08:53 PM	While we wait for that save... Osru can take his turn.
Zombomaniac 02-05-07, 09:46 PM	Osru moves farther from Lucien so as to ensure that he is a less appetizing target (moves to T13) he then launches more rays at the half-breed that had attacked him. "May the desert take you." Ranged touch attack: 7 Damage: (Don't think that hits) Ranged touch attack: 21 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=860393) Damage: 20 fire (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=860426) (should be more if they have a fire weakness) (I need to look that up)
Orcy The Green Wonder 02-05-07, 11:44 PM	Orcy would like to know which one you are attacking.
Zombomaniac 02-06-07, 09:05 AM	Orcy would like to know which one you are attacking. (the one that attacked me)
thasis 02-06-07, 01:44 PM	(the one that attacked me) Unfournetly I cannot give a reflex save for I am not at home, and will not be for another 10 hours or so. But when I can I will give my response. Sorry for the delay.
Zombomaniac 02-08-07, 09:12 PM	(Who's turn is it?) (Also if we are waiting on Thasis's ref save didn't Orcy hold the right to roll for someone if they toke to long?)
Skull_of_Shadow 02-09-07, 04:00 PM	A black shadow comes over the battlefield, flashing by in seconds. After stopping for a moment to allow the celestial to dismount (or to throw her off if she doesn't) a read strek plumets from the sky. Dalag laughs loudly, a wicked grin spread across his face as he streaks downward and thrusts at the hydra with his lance. "DIIIIEEEEE!!!!" Turning after the attack Dalag looks towards the other who are gathered in the area, his grin wide and wicked. With grunt he shakes his head and laughs. "What kind of idiots come to a battle with only mages!?" Attack: 19 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=866625) Damage: 52 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=866636)
Orcy The Green Wonder 02-09-07, 04:16 PM	Roaring in pain and anger the Hydra turns it's heads toward the man who wounded it. Biting at the mount on which he rides from below. It's teeth sink into the dragon's underbelly twice, though Dalag's riding ability is able to guide the dragon out of harms way for the third. Meanwhile, the Hydra's gaping wound begins to close itself quickly. Dragon takes 23 damage It is Patyr's turn.
Zombomaniac 02-09-07, 08:22 PM	Osru smilies at Dalag as he prepares for his next spell. "Hail, Scorpion! I wondered the same myself when the Cold-Bloods showed."
Wilds 02-09-07, 08:37 PM	Patyr takes a step back (5 ft) from the draco that attacked him. He whispers a spell and disappears. Casts Invisibility on self
CaptainShar 02-10-07, 12:43 AM	Girial dives off the dragon's back as she and Dalag arrive; she is a silver streak gleaming in the sunlight. She flies down at the half-dragon Osru was attacking. Charging for Attack: 25 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=867282) Damage: 13 Slashing, Magical (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=867286) and 6 Electrical (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=867295) Total: 19 She smiles triumphantly as white sparks dance around the slicing edge of her greatsword. BTW, what square is everyone on? I'm pretty confused.
Zombomaniac 02-10-07, 06:13 PM	BTW, what square is everyone on? I'm pretty confused. (Yea I dont think Orcy is putting us on the map so we have to keep track. Look at everyones posts and it should say. If you can't figure it out someone should be able to help.:) )
CaptainShar 02-11-07, 12:14 AM	Guess I'm in either O11 or Q8.
Orcy The Green Wonder 02-13-07, 06:32 PM	The first of the bears makes it's way forward. Tromping up toward the invisible Patyr and sniffing around, turning toward him and growling when it locates the man. The second turns, biting and clawing at the Celestial, missing it's attacks completely. Alright... lets see... Positions are: Half Dragons: R8 and P11 (damaged one) Bears: ST 6-7 and PQ 12-13 Blue Hydra: KLM 9,10,11 Dalag/Dragon: IJ 10-11 Girial: O11 Dench: O10 Patyr: T8 Lucien: T11 (before he left) Osru: T13 That should straighten all that out now right? This should put Dench up now.
CaptainShar 02-13-07, 06:41 PM	Throughout the combat, Girial keeps an eye on her new allies. OOC: If you are bleeding to death or have less than 10 hit points and no retreat please let me know. I may not have my spellcasting yet, but I can do a little in the way of healing. And I'm pretty mobile too. Silly casters.
Dyne 02-14-07, 01:16 PM	Clutching his wounds, Dench takes the arrival of these newcomers as an opportunity to retreat. He slips away from the battle, heading for the Orc encampment. Full movement, shouldn't provoke AoO's from whatever I was next to (if anything). I believe I was down to about 5 HP, but I'm leaving the battle, so save your healing.
Orcy The Green Wonder 02-14-07, 03:32 PM	The Half Dragon that had been attacking Patyr looks around and growls in frustration at losing sight of it's prey. It turns toward osru and makes it's way toward him, swinging its bastard sword at the only one of the mages left visible. The other turns on the celestial that struck it, swinging it's own bastard sword around in a mighty slash. It then follows through by bringing it's teeth to bare and biting at the woman's body, coming away with a rewarding taste of blood in it's mouth. Half Dragons: P11 and T12 13 damage to Osru 22 damage to Girial Osru is up.
Skull_of_Shadow 02-14-07, 04:37 PM	Dalag looks toward the mage and where the other mage had been. Growling as he dodges hydra bites. He kicks aside a snapping head and points toward the Hydra. "BURN THE DAMN THING!"
CaptainShar 02-14-07, 05:09 PM	Girial's shiny goodness takes the edge off the half-dragon's bite. Taking only 17 damage.
Zombomaniac 02-14-07, 05:50 PM	After taking damage from the Half-Dragon Osru runs away from it and casts a spell to redure himself invisable. Moves to T19 and casts invisibility.
Orcy The Green Wonder 02-14-07, 07:08 PM	The half dragon beside Osru takes a swing at the mage as he flees. However, the creature nearly slices off his own toe with a horrible swing. The blade fumbles about and allows Osru to get away without any trouble. Dalag and Girial are up.
Skull_of_Shadow 02-14-07, 07:37 PM	Dalag growls and pats the dragon on the back. The dragon, Kekerish-Tchekan, raises its head and sucks in a deep breath. When he exhales a huge gout of flame spreads out over the hydra. Dalag follows up the Dragon's breath attack with a few quick jabs of his Lance. He pierces one of the creature's necks and then drives hard into the beast's chest with his second blow. "Kana Zogalengan!" Fire Breath: 23 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=875105) Attacks: 28, 29 (possible crit) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=875113) Backup: 26 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=875115) Damage: 10, 40 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=875117) extra crit damage (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=875119)
Orcy The Green Wonder 02-14-07, 07:46 PM	The hydra roars in pain and anger with all of it's heads. Then, it slumps to the ground, the last of it's life-blood pouring out on the ground. It's heads fall to the ground and lay limp.
CaptainShar 02-14-07, 09:59 PM	Girial, seeing her allies vanishing, jumps back into the air, swinging her greatsword down heavily at the half-dragon to make up for the opposite momentum. Unfortunately, the movement throws her off and her sword merely glances off that of her foe. Power Attack for 12 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=875320). Girial is now in P10, five feet up (a diagonal move in three dimensions).
Orcy The Green Wonder 02-15-07, 10:35 PM	With the hydra dead, Patyr is up.
Wilds 02-16-07, 06:33 PM	Patyr walks to R12 and readies Lightening Bolt if anything attacks him.
Orcy The Green Wonder 02-17-07, 01:08 AM	The bear beside Patyr, before he begins moving, swats out at him with a paw. It's claws tear into Patyr's flesh and it immediately attempts to force him to the groud with it's powerful limb. Patyr takes 14 damage and needs to make an opposed grapple check, DC to beat is 27. AOOs are killers.
Wilds 02-17-07, 01:30 AM	Opposed grapple: 15 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=878765) Patyr's wounds are starting to take a visible toll.
CaptainShar 02-17-07, 03:41 PM	(Will I need to do anything special to use Lay on Hands on someone who's grappling?)
Orcy The Green Wonder 02-19-07, 10:39 PM	(I'd say you'll need a touch attack to get ahold of him since they're moving around in a grapple.) The bear that has taken ahold of Patyr claws and bites at him in an attempt to maul it's prey. One set of claws tears into the man's body but in it's eagerness it almost bites off it's other claw. The second bear rises up on it's hindpaws and claws and bites at Girial while she is still within reach. One paw striking her and it's teeth digging into her leg. The first half dragon brings it's sword around and slashes at Girial as well, failing to connect with it's blade it bites at her but fails to make contact with it's teeth as well. The second pulls a javelin from it's back and hurls it at Dalag, falling short and hitting nothing. 25 damage to Girial (grapple check DC to beat: 27) 10 damage to Patyr
CaptainShar 02-19-07, 11:05 PM	The bear's paw hit Girial squarely on the head, knocking her unconscious. Uh oh. Maybe the +4 LA wasn't such a good idea. Even with damage reduction, I'm now at -3.
Wilds 02-20-07, 01:40 PM	Patyr takes the blow and slumps in the bear's grasp. OOC: 5 hp left
Orcy The Green Wonder 02-22-07, 01:51 AM	Osru is up, then Dalag and Girial
Zombomaniac 02-22-07, 09:23 AM	(Crap I cant save Patyr and Girial without likely getting myself killed.:thinks: Screw it I'll try it anyways. If i die i at least go out in a blaze of glory.) Osru hears the blights of his allies and moves him self closer to aid them. Osru moves to P17. I'm not sure if he can run or not. If he does run (for the increased speed) does that take up his whole turn? If no the he will move to O16. Cursing to himslef Osru begins casting and unleashes 5 missles of aracne energy at the bears attacking his allys.In the procces losing his invisibility. "Over here you furry wh***sons!" Casts Magic missle. Two missles too the Bear attack Patyr and three to the bear attacking Girial. Missle 1 to Patyer's aid: 4 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=886595) Missle 2 to Patyer's aid:5 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=886602) Missle 3 to Girial's aid: 3 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=886597) Missle 4 to Girial's aid: 3 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=886603) Missle 5 to Girial's aid: 4 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=886606)
CaptainShar 02-22-07, 02:32 PM	In the contorted grasp of the bear, Girial's wounds continue to be twisted open. Lost a hit point; still unconscious. (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=886964) Currently at -4.
Skull_of_Shadow 02-22-07, 02:44 PM	Dalag roars angrily, leaping from the saddle and dropping his lance he charges at the bear that has Patyr pinned. The dragon swoops down and attacks the other creature that has struck down Girial. "YOU FOOLS ARE NO GOOD TO ME DEAD!" Dalag's glaive digs into the body the bear, it's head slicing through fur and flesh. A strange liquid is left in the wound after the glaive passes through the creature's body, and it seems quite effected by whatever it is. Glaive attack:23 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=886968) Glaive Damage:12 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=886971) Strength Damage:5 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=886971) Meanwhile, the dragon swoops down and bites out at the half dragon infront of Girial, who's wounds are many. It's teeth dig into the creature's flesh and rip apart the creature, leaving the remains to turn and roar at the nearby bear. Dragon Attack:30 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=886975) Dragon Damage:8 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=886977) (Not positive but I think that should be enough to kill the half dragon)
Orcy The Green Wonder 02-22-07, 07:47 PM	The half dragon, in it's moment of triumph over the unconcious Girial is ripped apart by the dragon's powerful jaws. (Patyr is up)
Wilds 02-22-07, 10:52 PM	Patyr grabs onto the bear's limb and screams. Dragoncast + Power Word: Pain Dragoncast makes a spell Silent and Still w/o increasing anything else of the spell. "If I'm going to die, your going with me beast."
Orcy The Green Wonder 02-24-07, 02:04 AM	The bear roars in pain and attempts to slam Patyr to the ground beneath one of it's paws. It bites the dragon rider and swats him with its other paw afterward, roaring in rage at it's wounds. The other bear turns from it's injured prey, dropping her roughly to the ground and bringing it's full range of natural weaponry to bear against the dragon. Rising on it's hind legs it swings with both paws and bites at the red beast. It's paws fail to cause any harm to the dragon's thick hide, but it's bite manages to find some soft flesh. The remaining half dragon appears torn as to which enemy to strike at. It makes up it's mind, charging forward to strike at the dragon with it's bastard sword. But it too fails to peirce the creature's thick hide and leather barding. 15 damage to Dalag 13 damage to the dragon Osru, Dalag, Girial
Zombomaniac 02-24-07, 08:42 AM	Osru bleeding fully from numerous wounds decides he has done all he can and that the dragon and his rider can handle it from here. (OOC: Osru flees from the battle. I'd love to stay and fight (and earn some bravery points for saving some lives), but I have Military stuff all day today and tommorrow. Didn't tell you all, but I joined the Army National Guard and today and tomorrow is the whole "One weekend a month" thing. See you all Sunday Night!:D )
Skull_of_Shadow 02-24-07, 11:47 AM	Dalag growls angrily as another flees the battle, swinging his glaive at the bear with a pair of slashes. The attacks are clumsy at best, but both find their target and bite into the bear's body. Causing a pair of large gashes to open on the creature's body, and bringing a sickly satisfied grin to Dalag's face. The dragon meanwhile turns on the bear that has attacked it, lashing out with all of it's body. Claws, teeth, tail and even it's wings as it brings itself fully to the ground. The Dragon's teeth tear into the bear, as does a claw. It's wing slams the creature in the side and it's tail strikes the beast's head. Attacks:16, 18 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=889516) Damage:12, 16 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=889518) Dragon Attacks:22, 31, 13, 13, 23, 20 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=889521) Dragon damage:11, 9, 6, 9 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=889536) Total Damage: 35
CaptainShar 02-24-07, 12:50 PM	Hot blood slowly drips into Girial's feathers and the dirt around her. Not stabilized. (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=889586) At -5.
Orcy The Green Wonder 02-25-07, 02:43 AM	The bear holding Patyr to the ground slumps and falls to the side from the force of Dalag's glaive strikes. The creature dies from the second slash and collapses in a bloody heap, Patyr's spell finishing off what little life the creature had left as it's effects act upon the beast. The second bear stands it's ground despite the horrible wounds inflicted on it by the dragon. The half dragon looks around, a bit worried now that Patyr is free. Though not overly concerned, it frees the rider for him now... Patyr is up.
Wilds 02-25-07, 12:37 PM	OOC: forgot about Draconic Vigor, so i healed 1 pt of damage with power word pain. Patyr stands, whoppling he looks around. He turns to face the second bear. "Your turn....." and he growls in pain again. Power Word: Pain on the second bear, i believe located at PQ 12-13 damage: 3 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=890800) ooc: draconic vigor heal 1 hp of damage hp:7
Orcy The Green Wonder 02-25-07, 03:49 PM	The bear rears up on it's hind legs again, anger and pain twisting it's features into a hideously furious scowl. The creature lashes out with both paws and bites at the dragon that wounded it so. This time, the bear's efforts are rewarded, it's paws and teeth all finding a target on the dragon and tearing at the great creature's flesh. Inspired perhaps by the bear's success the half dragon tries his luck. He too is rewarded by the feel of his blade striking home. Dealing a powerful strike into the Dragon's chest and leaving a wound large enough to give the creature pause. 57 Damage to the Dragon Dalag, Girial, Patyr
Skull_of_Shadow 02-25-07, 04:12 PM	The dragon roars in pain and hate from the wounds opening over it's body. It turns it's head and swings down at the half dragon with all of it's might. Biting, clawing, and swatting with it's tail and one wing. It directs only one with toward the bear. The dragon's attacks fail to strike the half dragon for the most part, though it's bite does succede. The wing directed at the bear as well hits it's mark. Dalag follows the dragon's attack with a charge, bringing his glaive around to slash at the half breed that had cause his ally and friend so much pain. Dragon attacks: 25, 16, 21, 17, 31, 19 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=891050) Dragon Damage:11(HD), 6 (bear) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=891054) Dalag's Attack:21 (23 if flank applies) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=891060) Damage (if hits):19 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=891062)
Orcy The Green Wonder 02-25-07, 05:36 PM	The bear roars one last time and falls limp at the ground beside the half dragon. Leaving only one opponent left for those who have remained in the battle.
CaptainShar 02-25-07, 07:25 PM	Since she's finally lying still, Girial's blood gets a chance to begin clotting in her wounds. Stable (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=891256) at -5 hit points. Still unconscious.
Wilds 02-26-07, 12:06 AM	Patyr turns to face Girial and the half-dragon looming near by. "Get away!" Ray of Enfeeblement Ranged touch attack: 16 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=891590) strength damage: 5 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=891586) hp:8
Orcy The Green Wonder 02-26-07, 08:32 PM	The half dragon, though weakened, manages to bring it's blade into the dragon's throat. Slicing the creature open despite it's wounds and the magic weakening it's body. It then turns to face the dragon's rider, a pained smile of victory spreading across it's face as it prepares for it's next enemy.
Skull_of_Shadow 02-26-07, 08:51 PM	Dalag screams in rage and slashes at the half dragon with a fury that knows no end. The Dragon, bleeding, falls in a heap to the ground and doesn't move. The glaive strikes the half breed in the side, but the blood drawn does not even come close to satisfying the man's rage. Dalag's attacks:29, 13 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=892815) Dalag's Damage:9 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=892817) (I'm assumin it's mine and Patyr's turns since the half dragons the only enemy left.)
CaptainShar 02-27-07, 12:26 PM	I guess it is my turn. Sorry 'bout that. Girial is still lying peacefully on the ground. :)
Wilds 02-27-07, 03:12 PM	Patyr groans from the wounds and whispers to himself touching his heart Mage Armor hp:9
Orcy The Green Wonder 02-27-07, 03:41 PM	The half dragon steps forward, bringing it's bastard sword around and slashing at the rider of the dragon it had recently slain. It's strike however falls short of it's target, cutting only into the air instead of the man's body. Dalag, Patyr (Girial is stable so you don't need to post anything)
Skull_of_Shadow 02-27-07, 03:56 PM	Dalag hops back a step and slashes with his glaive at the half breed. Growling out his anger and swinging as hard as he can. In his anger he fails to hit the half dragon at all. This seems only to anger him further, screaming madly he bares his teeth and stares at the half dragon.
Wilds 02-27-07, 07:04 PM	Patyr watches and waits, knowing the half-dragon will be taken down and not wanting to use any more spells unless necassary
Orcy The Green Wonder 02-27-07, 11:58 PM	The half dragon takes another swing at Dalag, but once again fails to bring any harm to the man. It's frustration begins to show plainly on it's draconic face, anger building for it as well now that the easy victory it thought it had was slipping away.
Skull_of_Shadow 02-28-07, 12:08 AM	Dalag leaps backward again, glancing angrily toward Patyr who is now directly to his east. He swings his glaive at the half breed, screaming insults in his native tounge. This time, his glaive strikes home and carves a bit of flesh from the halfer's body. He turns toward Patyr and roars angrily. "Make yourself useful, after all, I just saved your worthless life." Attack: 32, 12 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=895812) Damage: 13 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=895814)
CaptainShar 02-28-07, 12:12 AM	OOC: Don't know if you'd have time to notice this in the heat of battle, but my sword would probably work well right about now, if you can weild it. (+1 Shocking Greatsword) Especially since Patyr is 1. standing around and 2. close to where I dropped it.
Wilds 02-28-07, 11:09 AM	OOC: this is presuming that Dalag is not in the line of effect, as Patyr is not aligned with him I beleive "Fine fine, if you say so." He growls a static note and lightning bursts from his hand straight at the half-dragon. lightning bolt 32 lightning damage (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=896493)
Orcy The Green Wonder 02-28-07, 12:15 PM	Despite it's best efforts to dodge, and only catching the bolt on the shoulder, the half dragon finally succumbs to it's wounds. Collapsing on the ground in a heap the creature screams it's death to the world. Congrats, the battle is won. Experience and whatnot will be up once Orcy has had a chance to calculate everything out.
Skull_of_Shadow 03-01-07, 12:49 AM	Dalag roars in anger and slashes into the corpse again and again. When his rage has finally played itself out he swings his glaive to his back and walks slowly toward Girial and the dragon's remains. Kneeling at the side of the dragon, Dalag places his head against it's own. He rests there silently beside his old friend.
Orcy The Green Wonder 03-01-07, 01:48 AM	Experience should come out to the following... Lucien: 300 Dench: 300 Osru: 1,200 Patyr: 2,000 Dalag and Girial: 1,700 Items: Well made bastard sword x3 Well made Full Plate x3 Javelin x6
Wilds 03-01-07, 09:02 AM	OOC: Patyr will not take any items
Zombomaniac 03-01-07, 09:09 AM	OOC: Unfortunetly Osru can't take any items since he ran.
CaptainShar 03-01-07, 01:43 PM	Girial would take as many as the other people don't want to take (she has high strength and can probably carry them), if she wasn't unconscious! Can someone please apply a healing potion or something; she'll pay you back.
Skull_of_Shadow 03-02-07, 12:18 PM	Dalag strips the half dragons down and tosses their armor and weapony into a small bag that is obviously larger than it appears to be. He then turns back to the dragon and places a hand on it's forehead. Sighing, he slips a flask from his belt and steps over to Girial's unconcious form. Leaning over, he then pops the cork and pours the flask down Girial's throat. When she comes around, she finds him standing over her, looking down. In quiet, saddened tones he speaks. "You are of more use to me alive than dead." HP restored: 13 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=899338)
CaptainShar 03-02-07, 02:01 PM	Thank you. So we've won? I wasn't expecting everyone to run away like that; I was retreating to a point where I could use my bow when that bear knocked me out. How can I repay you, and do you desire any healing? OOC: I don't know if I need to mention this anywhere, but I'm going to assume she has two Cure Light Wounds prepped unless she specifies differently for a certain day.
Skull_of_Shadow 03-03-07, 01:01 AM	Dalag walks around the Dragon's body, circling it and chanting low to himself in his native tounge. The plainsman whispers to himself a bit more, cupping a bit of dirt and tossing it into the air above the dragon. Upon reaching the dragon's head for the twelveth time he stops. Kneeling down he presses his forehead to the dirt. "Aglen-nek-lan azogar. Rest well my brother." After a few moments with his head to the ground Dalag stands and turns toward Girial. "Go into the city... bring me a shovel. I will not leave any brother of mine to rot in the sun."
CaptainShar 03-03-07, 11:33 AM	Very well. After healing herself a bit more, she takes off for the city. Lay on Hands 12.
Wilds 03-03-07, 12:56 PM	Patyr steps up hesitantly. "Is there anything I can do to help? I realize you will most likely blame me for his death, I am wondering how I can help make it up to you."
CaptainShar 03-04-07, 02:08 AM	Er, almost back. Something came up in the city... Girial comes back with two shovels. Here, let me help you. She gives one of them to Dalag.
Skull_of_Shadow 03-04-07, 02:36 AM	Before Girial's return Dalag looks Patyr over. His eyes are narrowed and he appears to be grinding his teeth as he circles the man. "I should kill you for standing by while others were fighting for their lives. I should kill you for my brother's death saving your hide. But I won't. Not yet. You owe me however... and I'll call on that favor some day. For now... get out of my sight." When Girial returns, Dalag takes the shovel and nods, moving off the path he begins digging a hole next to the dragon. He glances to the corpse now and then, sighing before he continues his work. He does not however say anything at the moment to Girial.
Wilds 03-04-07, 12:04 PM	"Understood, I will leave you to your duty then" Patyr returns to town
Orcy The Green Wonder 03-04-07, 04:16 PM	Is Girial going to help, or whats goin on folks?
CaptainShar 03-04-07, 04:21 PM	Yeah; she's here now. Nothing too big was happening with the badge in the city, so she came out here by nightfall. I was just hanging out there to see what would happen with the badge. Girial continues to dig beside Dalag.
Orcy The Green Wonder 03-04-07, 11:53 PM	The digging takes quite a bit of time, the earth is hard and the going tough. Finally, the hole appears to be large enough to fit the entirety of the dragon within it. It has been easily eight hours since the work was started. The sun is begining to rise again on the horizon signaling the start of a new day.
CaptainShar 03-05-07, 12:05 AM	I'm tired, and you still look pretty beat up from the battle. Shall we rest now and continue to Sarah in the afternoon?
Skull_of_Shadow 03-05-07, 12:18 AM	Dalag raises a hand to silence Girial, grunting as she speaks. He walks over to the hole that they've buried the dragon in. Marking it with rocks and the symbol of Zeiram. Lowering his head to the ground Dalag speaks quietly. "Aglen-nek-lan azogar... kan ekilan." After a few more minutes with his head the the ground Dalag sits back up and looks toward Girial. "I am... useless without my other half. I need a mount if I am to be effective... and none will ever compare to him. So tell me... what exactly do you think I would like to do? I will rest, then return to the city. There is no point in my continuing in this... sorry state."
CaptainShar 03-05-07, 12:22 AM	Girial nods solemnly, finding it best to remain silent about the dragon. Very well. I shall accompany you back to the city; I find it unwise to attempt the rescue alone. I can also heal you tomorrow, at least somewhat. But I forgot; you are a member of a powerful guild already. In any case, two are better than one should we meet any dangers on the return road.
NightScreamer20 03-05-07, 12:36 AM	Travelling along at a slightly scurried pace, the small lizardfolk comes over the hills, scanning the horizon for any signs of life. Along this pathway his scales have become mottled browns and blacks, instead of the normal green color he usually gives off. Off to the road he notices two humanoid figures, and his step becomes more cautious. Hoping to approach these two peacefully he keeps his hands in sight and his bow secured. Not good at first impression he continues towards them, hoping they make the first, and more hopefully peaceful, move.
Skull_of_Shadow 03-05-07, 12:42 AM	Dalag looks as though he is about to say something then turns toward the new arrival. He eyes the lizard with a bit of suspicion and then looks back toward Girial. Ignoring the small creature he heads over and picks up the huge lance he dropped when dismounting his dragon. Moving slowly, he brings it back over, standing a short distance away from Girial again. "We should rest first. Then I will decide if I am going to help you save this stupid little girl who's father was too weak to protect her."
NightScreamer20 03-05-07, 12:57 AM	Noticing he being blatantly ignored, Greenspine looses the caution in his step and appaoraches the travellers. His hearing, much more keen than you'd think for a lizard, picks up the speak of rescuing a girl... Doubtfully a coincedence he decides, this time better than any other, to introduce himself. "Good morning fellow travellersss..." Greenspine his softly with a short bow, not that anyone could tell since they have to look down to see him. "I overheard you ssspeaking of a rescue of a young girl... I was wondering if her name wouldn't have been 'Dehney... would it?" He head tilts slightly as he looks upon the two with his oversized goggles which magnify his already large yellow eyes.
CaptainShar 03-05-07, 10:17 AM	Oh, good! Dalag and I here were on our way to rescue her when we saw some of our citizens fighting some monsters. We were afraid we didn't have enough resources at this point to actually continue the rescue mission - but have you also been sent by Sir Dehney? I'm Girial, what's your name? Detect evil.
NightScreamer20 03-06-07, 01:00 AM	Sorry about the delay, real-life game at stake =P and I'm not evil. "The name is Greensssspine. It isss niccce to meet some fellow travellersss along the road. I too wisssh to partake in the ressscue of Missss Dehney." He says with soft hisses and a short bow to the winged woman.
Skull_of_Shadow 03-06-07, 01:02 AM	Dalag looks the lizard over and grunts. He rests his lance against his shoulder and glances back down the road further into the hills. "Yeah, we're goin after the girl. Or at least, we were. Not much point in going for her now, the orcs are probably organized and know we're coming by now. I'd imagine that they're preparing for us, which is all the better... But I ain't gonna be much use there, not at the moment anyway." Dalag growls and shakes his head, looking toward the dirt beside him. With Girial's detection magic, Dalag glows brightly to her eyes, with the aura of an evil knight. Dalag glows in your detect evil, Blackguard style.
CaptainShar 03-06-07, 01:03 AM	Excellent. Unfortunately we need to rest now because we've been up all night, but I'll be ready to go again in about four hours. So unless you have something really urgent right now, I'm going to sleep, and we can discuss our rescue plans in a bit.
NightScreamer20 03-06-07, 01:09 AM	"Grand idea... a bit of ressst never hurt anyone..." He looks towards the large man. "Asss for them being prepared... Maybe for an assssault... but I doubt they are prepared... for me..." Turning back to them both. "Do you plan to ressst upon the trail... or for usss to make camp?"
CaptainShar 03-06-07, 01:12 AM	Let's set up camp on the other side of the trail. She goes to the other side of the road and breaks out her tent. She goes inside and sits in a relaxed pose, and is soon oblivious to the world around her.
Skull_of_Shadow 03-06-07, 01:14 AM	The Knight looks the lizard over and rubs his chin. "So, you don't think they're prepared for you huh? Why exactly would that be? Don't appear to be a great and powerful warrior, but size has been misleading before, what is it ya do eh?"
NightScreamer20 03-06-07, 01:15 AM	"I do believe that revealing what little sssecretss I have lessssens their integrity. But let me sssay that they don't call me kosj''vhirgix'othiejir (or Ankle-Biter to all you draconic speaking folk) for nothing!"
Skull_of_Shadow 03-06-07, 01:27 AM	Dalag grunts and chuckles a bit. He sets the tip of his lance into the ground and nods. Looking down the road into the distance, peering toward the city that he couldn't see from here. "Dalag Zagran, is what they call me. Though the name is not lived up to as well as it should be."
NightScreamer20 03-06-07, 01:37 AM	"Good to meet you sssir... from your chucles I assssertain you speak the ancient tongue asss well? It isss very rare for me to come upon folk who are able o underssstand sssuch a language..."
Skull_of_Shadow 03-06-07, 01:42 AM	"Yes, I speak the language. My... partner spoke it. It was an easier way of communicating without others listening in on our conversations. As you say... not everyone speaks it."
NightScreamer20 03-06-07, 02:09 AM	With a nod his face becomes less playful and more serious, as his eyes turn to the freshly tilled dirt. "I knew I sssmelled dragonkind..." Walking over the pile he reaches into his satchel and pulls out few loose arrow shafts and a bit of twine. With a little handwork he presents a secondary makeshift cross, however it appears to have the very crude, but distinguishable, appearance of an eye and three small stone hang from it. "Ari'chronepsis'sauriv ocuir'thurirl'shafaer'wux... (May the eye of chronepsis look kindly upon you)" And with a small bow to the cross he turns towards Dalag. "For peace, may he ride onto the afterlife freely...in respect for your loss sir..." And with that tone, Greenspine turns and walks into the woman's tent, not having on of his own. He needs a time of pece, for his people have worshipped these great beings for generations, and served them justly. He curls up in the corner and attempts to rest this thoguht from his mind.
Skull_of_Shadow 03-06-07, 02:14 AM	Dalag watches the small lizard as he goes about his own ritual for the dead. Nodding to him as he enters the tent Dalag grunts and takes a seat on a nearby rock. He rests his lance into the ground, and the other bit against his shoulder. Lowering his head to his chest he rests, watchful of that around him, left to his own thoughts and the waking world with the others both deciding to sleep.
CaptainShar 03-06-07, 12:36 PM	Soon Girial is refreshed. She comes outside, leaving the tent up for the lizard. That was nice of you to watch while we rested, but do you want to sleep now? And how are you doing from the battle yesterday - I can heal you at least a little if you need it.
Skull_of_Shadow 03-06-07, 01:36 PM	Dalag shakes his head and stands. He heads towards Girial's tent, stabbing his lance into the ground just outside of it. "Someone had to watch... its not very intelligent for everyone to sleep on the side of the road. Bandits, monsters, plenty of things could get ya. Keep your healing, I'll recover and something tells me you'll need it." Dalag goes on into the tent and lies down on the ground a bit away from the lizardman. Rolling over and closing his eyes.
CaptainShar 03-06-07, 01:46 PM	Girial in turn keeps watch, hovering above the campsite to have a better view of the surrounding hills, her eyes easily piercing the gathering dusk and the black night.
NightScreamer20 03-06-07, 04:34 PM	With a yapping yawn and a stretch, Greenspine crawls his way out of the tent silently into the dead night, looking over and then wandering towards the winged one. "...The night isss more ssstill then I would have expected..." And with this he climbs his way onto a rock and crouches, his mottled scales carrying the color of the stone unto him. He pulls his goggles up over his eyes and peers around the landscape.
CaptainShar 03-06-07, 06:03 PM	She flutters down to sit beside him. Just a little longer before Dalag is ready, I hope. Has Sir Dehney told you anything else about the operation?
NightScreamer20 03-07-07, 12:50 AM	Greenspine shakes his head and sighs a bit. "Haven't even met the man... sssaw the poster, decided to get a had ssstart. Assumed that the quicker the better... bessst courssse for ressscuesss you sssee... in my opinion."
Skull_of_Shadow 03-07-07, 03:25 AM	After a few hours of rest Dalag emerges from within the tent. His wounds are mostly closed over, though some will leave scars. Pulling his lance from the ground he looks over toward Girial and the lizardman. "I must return to town. If for nothing else... I require a mount. I would prefer not to fight until I am... prepared. But that would take much time that we don't have. Are we all returning to town, or will I be playing catch up once I have retrieved the horse left to me by that poor unfortunate hobgoblin I implaed?"
CaptainShar 03-07-07, 10:10 AM	Looking to the lizardfolk: I do not doubt your courage, but Dalag was incredibly effective in the last battle. Sarah has already been gone for several days; I think now the important thing is to rescue her effectively rather than quickly. But perhaps you might be good at scouting ahead while we wait? To Dalag: If we both leave our heavier equipment here, I can carry you back to the city twice as fast as we could walk. Is that acceptable?
NightScreamer20 03-07-07, 01:45 PM	The lizarfolk stands and hops off his rock. "I will ssscout ahead, for my eyesss are keen and my feet are ssswift... When you are ready you can come find me." Greenspine chuckles a bit "Actually it would be more effective if I come and find you... Ssso my fellow travellersss I hope to sssee you sssoon." He bows and after they say their partings he shall take his leave.. but he stops suddenly. "However... would it be more ussseful for me to ssstay with your equipment for the time being inssstead?"
CaptainShar 03-07-07, 02:03 PM	(Dalag still hasn't agreed yet, but if he does...) That is a good point. Some people steal. But do you think burying it would work? Although the time taken to do that would rather defeat our purpose of speed anyway. So, yes, unless you can think of a better plan, it is probably most efficient for you to watch our things. I'm sorry to ask it of you; we should be back before long.
Zombomaniac 03-07-07, 02:19 PM	(Hide them and watch the area. If no one knows that there is some valuable stuff around then it will be less likely for them to be stolen.)
Skull_of_Shadow 03-07-07, 09:24 PM	Dalag looks the winged woman over as if she had grown a second head. He laughs at what he assumes must be a joke then shakes his head. Seeing it is not he blinks and clears his throat. "No. I won't be leaving my equipment anywhere. Let alone with someone I know nothing about. I mean of course no offense little Greenspine... but trust is something that must be earned. Why Girial sees it as a... good idea to leave her armor and weaponry with someone she knows nothing about I do not know. But I won't be doing it. Nor will I be burying it in the dirt to come and retrieve later."
CaptainShar 03-07-07, 09:30 PM	Very well then. Greenspine and I will go ahead; if it looks too difficult we will come back and meet you somewhere between here and there; otherwise we will be at the orc tower.
Skull_of_Shadow 03-07-07, 09:34 PM	Dalag shrugs and nods, turning and heading off on the road back to town. He jogs steadily, moving swiftly being a man of the plains, he is used to long runs across open lands. The hills take a bit more practice in fooing, but the road is smooth enough to allow him ease of travel.
Orcy The Green Wonder 03-07-07, 09:36 PM	((Orcy feels he must note that Shar and Nightscreamer will not be able to 'head to the orc camp' until Dyne has finished his business. Seeing as hes behind a day or so in game at the moment. When Orcy can get ahold of him, he'll get things done.))
NightScreamer20 03-08-07, 09:54 PM	Looking around Greenspine straps his belt securely around his waist and heads towards the hills talking as he walks. "I'll be back... Just see if I can get a mount!" And with the Greenspine goes out to start hunting, hopefully for vermin (being hills possibly Giant Ants or Giant Stag Beetles... but mammls would do just as well). Knowledge (Arcana) check 13 (taking 10) to know if I know of Magical Beasts that might inhabit the area. Knowledge (Nature) check 26 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=910590) to determine what animals and vermin are in the area... Search check 33 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=910598) to locate any animal, vermin,or magical beast (if any) tracks... Survival check 29 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=910600) to track (33 for Magical Beast tracks; 31 for Vermin)...
NightScreamer20 03-08-07, 10:25 PM	Coming across the trails, Greenspine sniffs the air and ground. Kneeling forward he picks up a small feather and holds it to his snout, then sticks it in his mouth as his eyes gave across the ground. "...Griffons...This might be more difficult than I expected..." Greenspine begins following the tracks, keeping himself low to the ground, his eyes out across the skies. Spot check 30 (taking 10) to ... well ... spot any griffons in the areas ahead. I'm moving as I do this of course continuing to follow the tracks. Soon as I spot anything resembling giant flying creature I'm hiding... immediately.
Orcy The Green Wonder 03-08-07, 10:36 PM	Greenspine finds his way through the hilly passes towards the water that gives the hills it's name. Down below a ways, he makes out a nest set into the side of the large cliff-face. From here, he can see a single griffon on an outcropping beside it's nest from up here, the nest itself is about 90ft down.
NightScreamer20 03-08-07, 10:46 PM	Taking to the ground, Greenspine craws across it to the edge of the cliff and looks over carefully. Hide check 45 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=910669)
Orcy The Green Wonder 03-08-07, 10:59 PM	The griffon is preening it's feathers with it's beak. A pile of semi-fresh meat sitting at it's side with many bite marks in it. The creature looks up the cliff but sees nothing, spreading it's wings and squawking.
NightScreamer20 03-08-07, 11:10 PM	Grasping his bow Greenspine knocks a bone white arrow and plucks one off into the Griffon nesting below and immediately slips back over the edge afterwards. Attack roll 26 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=910693) and 7 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=910710) Damage; DC 13 Fort save or fall unconcious... Hide check 28 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=910704) for Sniping
Orcy The Green Wonder 03-08-07, 11:17 PM	The griffon screeches angrily and looks around for whatever struck it. It cannot however find the offender and simply covers itself with it's wings for defense. Looking around for it's attacker.
NightScreamer20 03-08-07, 11:25 PM	Peeking over the edge he tries again, same arrow type, hoping for a good strike. Attack roll 18 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=910724); 6 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=910725) Damage; 27 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=910730) Hide Check
Orcy The Green Wonder 03-08-07, 11:49 PM	The griffon screeches angrily as it is hit by the arrow, turning and glaring directly at greenspine. The griffon quickly takes wing and launches itself into the air, flying straight at Greenspine. It however falls just short of it's target, snapping it's beak in anticipation of the fight.
NightScreamer20 03-09-07, 12:03 AM	Greenspine sheathes his bow, drops back 40 ft. from the cliff and draws out a small round alchemical package.
Orcy The Green Wonder 03-09-07, 12:12 AM	The griffon swings around and flys up further, making it's way to the cliff above and screeching at Greenspine. It stays where it is just above the ground however, not yet moving.
NightScreamer20 03-09-07, 12:14 AM	Greenspine runs 40 ft diagnolly towards the cliff just still 40 ft from the Griffon, readying himself to toss his package at the beast. Readying action for when it comes close to me to throw the Alchemical Sleeping Gas at it.
Orcy The Green Wonder 03-09-07, 12:15 AM	The griffon flaps it's wings powerfully and charges toward Greenspine, ready to claw and bite at the small lizard man. (take yer action)
NightScreamer20 03-09-07, 12:18 AM	Greenspine tosses the package at the Griffon, throwing over it completely as it charges towards him.
Orcy The Green Wonder 03-09-07, 12:21 AM	The griffon's attack, un-impeded by the lizard's throw continues. It pouces upon the man, slashing with claws and biting with it's powerful beak. It's beak cannot manage to catch the quick little lizard man, but one of it's claws is quick enough to scrape him. The other claws on both front and back legs manage to strike nothing. 5 damage
NightScreamer20 03-09-07, 12:27 AM	Hissing, he rolls backwards 20 ft. pulling out his bow, cocking an arrow and sending it flying at the griffon. Tumbling backwards (minimum 16 so nor rolling). Attack 27 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=910840); 22 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=910846) Damage
Orcy The Green Wonder 03-09-07, 12:34 AM	The griffon charges forward, slashing and biting with it's claws and beak. It cannot however manage to strike the lizard man, who's reflexes are simply too fast for it.
NightScreamer20 03-09-07, 12:37 AM	Rolling backwards once more, he fires another arrow at the immense creature. Tumbling and firing again, 20 ft. Attack 28 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=910854); 18 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=910857) Damage
Orcy The Green Wonder 03-09-07, 12:40 AM	The griffon screeches and launches itself forward again, pouncing on Greenspine and trying again to harm him. One of it's claws manages to scratch into the lizard man's flesh, drawing a bit more blood, finally. 4 damage (this is pathetic)
NightScreamer20 03-09-07, 12:43 AM	Rolling backwards once more, not as far as the other two times, he plucks an arrow into the beast again, hoping to to hit a vital organ. Tumbling 10 ft. back Attack 19 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=910863); 18 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=910864) Damage
Orcy The Green Wonder 03-09-07, 12:47 AM	The griffon moves foward again, yet again launching itself onto the lizardman. It's beak, and many claws begin once more to scratch and peck at him. It's foreclaws and beak fail... yet again, to get through the lizardman's defenses. It's rear talons however both sink into his skin and open a few scratches in him. 13 damage (thats a bit better...)
NightScreamer20 03-09-07, 12:52 AM	Hissing loudly he decides this is no time to pull punches, pulling out a crimson arrow as he rolls backwards and hopes to put this thing down. Tumbling 20 ft. Attack 18 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=910876); 19 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=910878) Damage
Orcy The Green Wonder 03-09-07, 12:57 AM	The griffon screeches, and stumbles about, falling to the ground it rocks on it's hind legs and then slumps to the ground. The creature attempts to stand but eventually gives in to it's injuries and stops moving. Alive and bleeding.
CaptainShar 03-09-07, 01:03 AM	(How close is he? Have I heard any of this?)
NightScreamer20 03-09-07, 01:04 AM	Greenspine sheathes his weapons and goes over to tend to the creature. Kneeling down he moves to the wounds of the creature and begins to tend to them, removing the poisonous arrows from its flesh and patching its flesh. Taking 20 so takes 2 minutes, stopping bleeding... Leaving the creature where it lies, he moves over to the edge of the cliff above the nest, taking out his rope he secures it to a rock and around himself. Use Rope check 20 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=910904) He then begins repelling down the side of the cliff towards the nest, slowly.
Orcy The Green Wonder 03-09-07, 01:10 AM	Girial has not heard the battle, but she did see which direction Greenspine walked off in. If he stayed on that path or not is a completely different matter. Greenspine feels confident that the Griffon will live after his work and makes it down the side of the cliff to the nest, which currently has a single egg inside of it.
NightScreamer20 03-09-07, 01:18 AM	Gently picking up the egg, he holds it up the light, leans his ear onto it listening closely, and sniffs it as well. Knowledge (Nature) check 20 (taking 10) to figure how old the egg is (approximently of course)... Determining he has a few weeks before it matures enough to hatch, he rolls it up in his large hammock and secures it making sure it is snug and packed correctly before returning it into his bag. After this he heads back up his rope and once at the top, he unties both ends secures it back in his back and makes his way back to the grown Griffon. He runs his claws across his feathers and fur and makes sure it is alive and stable, before heading back to base camp.
NightScreamer20 03-09-07, 06:00 PM	Wandering back towards Girial, he hisses softly as he dabs leafy ointments onto his wounds, a tracking technique to secure healing and to stop infections. "My dear... I mussst admit I am a bit ressstlesss... In a bit I wisssh to ssstart up the trail and ssscout out the orc'sss encampment... As he speaks he doesn't make direct eye contact, honestly ashamed of what he is about to say. "M'lady you know I do not wisssh to be rude... But you will sssure hinder my own ssskillsss and tacticsss... So I wisssh to go it alone..." He looks up to her, hoping she doesn't take this for rudeness. For his kind work best alone and doesn't believe she would be up to the task of traversing the terrain ahead without being spotted.
CaptainShar 03-09-07, 06:16 PM	No, no; go ahead. I'm not terribly inconspicuous. She shrugs her silver wings. But did you find a mount? She looks at the egg inquiringly. And are you injured?
NightScreamer20 03-10-07, 12:20 AM	OOC: Egg is inside satchel (read above) Greenspine looks at himself and shrugs. "...Hmm... seems so. A few scratches, but I will live. And yes I did find a suitable mount..." He shakes his satchel a bit. "So... I believe I'm going to start on my trail now..." Greenspine bows his head slightly. "Hope to see you soon fine lady." And with that, Greenspine begins his long trek across the hills towards the Orc Fortress... keeping his eyes keened and ears open, ready to hide at a moment's notice. Taking 10 on Spot and Listen for a 26 and 21 respectively, moving across the hills at full move speed (so 80 ft/round)...
Skull_of_Shadow 03-10-07, 12:57 AM	After a few hours or so from the time greenspine departs, Dalag rides up on horseback, followed by a pair of horsemen, a third man sitting on one of the other's two horses. They slow when the spot Girial and ride up to her, Dalag's horse and the other men's horses are likely tired by this point, about a day or so into the journey, but closing on the old outpost at last. "Ah... there you are... Where did the lizard go?"
CaptainShar 03-10-07, 01:04 AM	He's scouting ahead. I suggest we stay here until he reports back so we don't accidentally tip them off to our presence. She sighs at the prospect of more waiting, and stretches. Hello, all, I'm Girial. And you are?
Orcy The Green Wonder 03-10-07, 01:15 AM	The riders look at the woman, turning toward the man on the back of one of the horses as he dismounts. "Wek?" "Len felkakan, kolra wekularg." Turning to the woman with a smile after speaking to the two mounted men the other spreads his arms. "Greetings... I am Kekerish-ag-barog, Flame of War in your tounge. Your associate here, one of my fellow... hmm.. 'plainsmen' as you say, has asked for our assistance. Do you know much of the targets that we seek?" The other men nod their heads toward Girial, each speaking in turn. "Kan Ularg Dalan Hogra." "Kan Ularg Gan-ag-Tchekan"
CaptainShar 03-10-07, 01:20 AM	Not much. But we really only have one target - Sarah Dehney. She's been captured and we're attempting to rescue her. I think the orcs have some kind of tower they're keeping her in. We have a scout out at the moment - Greenspine - trying to gain more information.
Orcy The Green Wonder 03-10-07, 01:22 AM	"Hmm... I see. So if we can locate the girl, it would be best to simply sneak by them and not worry about the fight. Of course, my men are more than capable of fighting should the need arise. But I would much prefer not to fight unless it is needed. The best way to win a battle is to snatch victory before they even know you are doing so..."
Skull_of_Shadow 03-10-07, 01:27 AM	"Bah, we might as well just slaughter the whole lot of them. They aren't much use and will just raid things. But if you don't feel up to it, we could just do it the sneaky coward way and try and get her without a fight. But I doubt we'll manage that with the orcs. Unless you happen to be prepared to bargain with them and buy her freedom."
CaptainShar 03-10-07, 01:31 AM	How about we wait for Greenspine's information before deciding the best way to handle this? All right? I'm not against fighting them, particularly, because they have attacked the city, but getting Sarah is the most important objective.
Orcy The Green Wonder 03-10-07, 01:34 AM	"While I do not disagree with your plan, we are still about a day or so away from the location you speak of... unless we have a day or two to waste waiting for this information, I suggest we head onward. We will wait a ways away from the old fortress upon the hill. If need be, my men can scout ahead, they are skilled in such things. But waiting this far out does not seem a good idea."
CaptainShar 03-10-07, 01:38 AM	Oh. Girial looks a little embarrassed. Yeah, let's get closer then. I'm still kind of new to the area. Can the horses handle another rider or should I just fly? I can keep up that way.
Orcy The Green Wonder 03-10-07, 01:41 AM	"If we wish the horses to rest up in time for the battle, then they will not be able to carry another rider, unless Dalag Zagran has room upon his steed. It has not carried a second rider yet." The man mounts a different horse than he had ridden in on. Allowing the first to travel lighter this time.
CaptainShar 03-10-07, 01:42 AM	Eh, I'll fly. We've already spent enough time riding together for one adventure. She rises into the air, and follows whichever direction the plainsmen take.
Orcy The Green Wonder 03-10-07, 01:45 AM	The plainsmen take off down the road, motioning for the others to follow as they ride onward.
Skull_of_Shadow 03-10-07, 01:46 AM	Dalag smirks and spurs his mount to action, moving off down the path on the tail of the plainsmen. His lance bouncing at the side of the horse. He grins wickedly thinking of the battle that was to come... and the blood he would get to spill.
NightScreamer20 03-13-07, 01:01 AM	Coming over the hills spotting them men on horses, comes Greenspine. His body a bit broken, bleeding, and although beaten to within an inch of his life... his agility and awareness are fully intact. Above the plainsmen glide Girial and riding with them Dalag. He waves and whistles for them to approach. "Hey! Travellersss!" He looks backwards down the road. "Four againssst one! And I ssstill made it out alive!" He laughs and stops and coughs, bending over and spitting up some blood.
CaptainShar 03-13-07, 11:07 AM	(How many HP do you need healed?) Girial flies down, motioning everyone to halt a moment while they tend to Greenspine's wounds and learn whatever information he gathered. Greenspine! Well, I guess you got close enough to see them, then. As soon as I patch you up a little we'd like to hear your information. Did you see or hear of Sarah?
Faithful_One 03-13-07, 02:53 PM	(How many HP do you need healed?) (i think he has taken 54 damage.)
NightScreamer20 03-13-07, 09:04 PM	(Like the random guy above said I took 54... so anything around 25 to 30 will do fine for now...) Poking his own wounds and wincing he looks at Girial. "Nothing... Didn't get that far. Got carried away actually... But all the Orcsss seemed to be inssside for the moment. A few Hobsss as well. No big deal honessstly."
CaptainShar 03-13-07, 09:15 PM	I should probably save some for the battle coming up... She casts two healing spells and uses the wand three times, then looks at him, and decides to use the wand once more. There you go. Let's continue forward, people! She takes to the air again, carrying Greenspine (if he doesn't object). Healed for: 20 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=917927) And: 7 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=917930) Total 27. Four charges and all spells used.
NightScreamer20 03-14-07, 12:57 AM	(Shar, you are no longer allowed to roll Healing Die Rolls =P Hehe) Greenspine allows himself to be air-lifted... this flying this is a new experiance for sure, but enjoyable.
CaptainShar 03-14-07, 01:34 AM	(Shar, you are no longer allowed to roll Healing Die Rolls =P Hehe) Hmm? I don't get what you mean by this.
NightScreamer20 03-14-07, 03:46 AM	((I checked them, 60% (or so) of your rolls were 3 or lower haha. Just pickin' on bad luck.))
CaptainShar 03-14-07, 02:15 PM	(If you make fun of me too much, maybe next time you won't get free healing. Naw...well, I'd rather roll poorly out of combat than in.)
NightScreamer20 03-14-07, 05:29 PM	(If you make fun of me too much, maybe next time you won't get free healing. Naw...well, I'd rather roll poorly out of combat than in.) That wouldn't be to Lawful Good of you my Paladin friend ;D
CaptainShar 03-14-07, 06:53 PM	That wouldn't be too Lawful Good of you my Paladin friend ;D Charging for goods and services? That's pretty standard practice for everyone. Wands cost money. And it's not like you were bleeding to death. ;)
NightScreamer20 03-14-07, 07:03 PM	Charging for goods and services? That's pretty standard practice for everyone. Wands cost money. And it's not like you were bleeding to death. ;) Check your Code of Conduct.
Skull_of_Shadow 03-14-07, 07:44 PM	Dalag looks greenspine over and shrugs. Riding along beside the plainsmen he clears his throat. "How much further is this place? We've been at it a while we should probably rest before we get there. Then... we'll show these orcs a thing or two. I'm disapointed though.... there aren't many around to kill huh?" (cut it with the OOC)
CaptainShar 03-14-07, 08:08 PM	Girial flies down and begins setting up her tent. If we're going to rest tonight, I can heal you a bit more. 12 HP; lay on hands To the group: I'll take watch when I'm rested in four hours.
NightScreamer20 03-15-07, 02:36 AM	Greenspine takes his place where he was last time, curled up in the winged knight's tent. ith a yapping yawn he falls into a soft sleep.
Orcy The Green Wonder 03-15-07, 09:02 PM	The night passes with no problems, and the group will come upon the orcish base roughly an hour after they set out. (You can start posting at the Shadow Watch thread)
Orcy The Green Wonder 03-18-07, 01:05 PM	A short time after the group leaves to make their attack on the Shadow Watch fortress, another group enters the area. Making their way along the dangerous rock-face just over the water deep within the bowl. They come up to a location that, from a further distance away, appears to hold some sort of building up above on the high top of the rocky hills. Those coming upon it clearly note it to be a good two hundred foot climb.
Sssargoth 03-18-07, 03:38 PM	"And this lady and gentleman is where we rest, and catch our breath. The next stop, up there.
Zombomaniac 03-19-07, 12:30 AM	"I can see why we needed that fly spell. Well just tell me when and who to cast it on."
Sssargoth 03-20-07, 11:59 PM	"Hmm...Well boss, I think you should fly up and place the ropes, since I do this climbing stuff for a living." As Neri is saying this, he unstraps a large bundle of rope with several hooks on one end. "Yeah, and that way you can make sure they don't rush themselves and fall to their deaths. Anyway, I'd like to get a better idea of what we are dealing with up there. Now, Osru, I'm going to need that spell." With that, Jonas takes the bundle and gets ready to head up the cliff.
Zombomaniac 03-21-07, 09:14 AM	Osru casts fly on Jonas
Sssargoth 03-24-07, 12:25 AM	Jonas flys up the cliff, keeping an eye out for a good place to set up the ropes and stay out of sight of the tower. He really doesn't want everyone to get ripped to shreds before they've used up their usefullness.
Orcy The Green Wonder 03-25-07, 11:49 PM	((Jonas needs a search check if hes trying to find a place like that, unless he doesn't care about actually getting all the way to the top and just close. As well, a hide check might help.))
Sssargoth 03-26-07, 12:03 AM	Search: 22 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=939169) Hide: 22 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=939172)
Orcy The Green Wonder 03-26-07, 10:18 PM	As 'Jonas' nears the top of the cliff he finds a suitable place. He does however note that once the first person is off the rope they won't be too hard to spot from up in the tower if one was looking in their direction. It is, however, the only suitable place Jonas can find to secure the rope and allow the others to climb while concealed from view.
Sssargoth 03-26-07, 10:48 PM	Jonas glances at the top of the tower to see if anyone is looking in his direction before setting up the rope ladder, and letting it unroll down the cliff face. As the ladder is unrolling he also hooks up the single rope, and tosses the coil a short ways from the cliff so it doesnt snag on anything on the way down. After that, he takes cover below the top of the cliff, and makes sure at least one of them uncoiled all the way.
Ashariana 04-01-07, 11:50 AM	Seeing as Osru seems to have fallen asleep on his feet Amara looks up and sighs. She takes hold of the robe and begins to climb up the side of the rather large cliff face. "If I fall... I am so haunting you." (Just gonna take 10 on my climb check... I think I can do that can't I?)
Zombomaniac 04-02-07, 11:21 AM	"Haunt me? I knows spells of control undead." Osru follows after Amara up the rope. (Taking 10)
Sssargoth 04-04-07, 02:38 PM	"I think the lady was talking to me. Anyway, it's my job to make sure you don't fall to your doom, so don't worry." Once Neri has made sure that Amara and Osru are steady enough on the rope ladder, he begins climbing up the single rope with considerable ease. Neri taking 10 for a total of 21
Orcy The Green Wonder 04-07-07, 03:57 PM	After some time of climbing the group makes it to the top of the cliff. A 200ft climb leaving them rather tired, but at their location.
Zombomaniac 04-14-07, 03:56 PM	(OOC: Where is everyone?)
Sssargoth 04-14-07, 05:51 PM	(At the top)
Zombomaniac 04-14-07, 11:05 PM	(Well I wish you be at the cliff with the rest of us.:) )
Sssargoth 04-14-07, 11:45 PM	(I am. I dropped down low enough to use the cliff for hiding from the tower, and my cohort followed you up the ropes. Also, since Orcy never said that the spell duratio has elapsed, I still have a minute or two left on that fly spell.)
Orcy The Green Wonder 05-10-07, 03:39 PM	(Since nobody appears to want to RP... say anything... or look anything over, if you are all still interested, then we can start things here. Orcy doesn't know why hes waited this long...) The tower sits ahead of you, large and imposing with little in the way of decoration. Standing by the wall and looking down over the ground a pair of men stand with crossbows. They look toward the group after they climb over the cliff wall and one calls something over his shoulder. That'll be initiative... heres the map with current locations (used the colors you folks were using for speech to decide who is who). http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v353/BaddieX51/Ogbanar/riverbowloutlook.gif
Zombomaniac 05-15-07, 09:34 PM	(I'll be the red dot. initiative: 8 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1047473))

Orcy The Green Wonder 05-18-07, 02:39 PM	Kero, Amara, Neri, Osru, Enemies (Orcy rolled low...)
Faithful_One 05-22-07, 09:02 AM	(OOC: Hey Sssargoth i think they are all waiting on you.)
Orcy The Green Wonder 06-02-07, 02:24 PM	Ok, we are skipping Sssargoth. Amara is up.
Ashariana 06-02-07, 02:45 PM	Amara starts running and goes as fast as she can, ducking beneth the tower to get out of the way of the archers up above her. She heads toward the ladder or stairs (can't tell, I think its a ladder?) and stops there, looking up and getting ready to climb on her next chance. I think that makes Osru up.
Dyne 06-10-07, 04:09 AM	(I'd just like to point out that Zombomaniac has said he will be gone for the rest of summer. I do not know if he plans to come back, either.)
