Orcy The Green Wonder 08-24-07, 08:00 PM	The horechound jungle, once a lush and rich land filled with exotic creatures and plantlife. Now, the jungle belongs to the rampaging undead, sealed beneath perpetual darkness by the deposed Lord of the Damned, Sargatanas. It's once exotic beauty has since been reduced to a dying and rotting place, filled with the stench of death and rot. The walking hordes of undead that call this place home wander through it's dark borders, growing more violent as of recent events. The trees sag and even the tallest of them cannot reach up above the darkness. The bones that lie in various locations mark the once homes of the nomadic undead, no doubt the spoils of some raid into human lands, and no doubt future recruits for the damned. On the borders of the jungle there are small settlements, each bearing a small detachment from Tyrannor propper for use in watching and keeping track of the undead. Recently many of these have come under attack, but none have fallen so swiftly as that which was rumored to have some devlish device brought against them. The undead run rampant, the settlements are in a constant state of alert. It is now, only a matter of time before the undead break their bonds and are loosed across the known world, unless they are stopped. ((We'll be using group colors here, Include a 'LOCATION:' tag in each of your posts if you would since we're likely to have two groups running here at once (at the very least). For example, if you are aboard a ship just off the shore 'LOCATION: At Sea' if your group's color is red. The first poster from said group will choose the color to be used by them, this should help everyone determine what they see and know and all that.))
Sargatanas 08-27-07, 02:57 PM	Location: Off the shore The greatship captained by Sargatanas sails forward slowly now, the Horechound jungle clearly in vew on the shore. His crew march toward the side of the ship, their eyes and empty sockets scanning across the shore. Giving the wheel over to another of his crew he makes his way down to the deck and looks at the jungle, his eyes glowing slightly brighter than usual. "Ah... home... it has been far too long. Soon, we'll be on MY soil, and ready to take back MY lands."
Demonfey 08-27-07, 10:55 PM	It occurs to me that you mentioned a need of a mask when you brought it up at the GoUE. Do you still have any? (Actually remembered from before the merchant's guild, just didn't want to bring it up)
Sargatanas 08-29-07, 03:38 AM	Sargatanas tosses Davar a mask, watching as they pass much of the Jungle's shore. The ship moves along at a steady pace, the forest drifting by while Sargatanas eagerly looks on his lands. He cackles often, looking down to see undead fish feasting on the flesh of living sea creatures. He seems overjoyed at the spread of the undeath he started. After another while of travel the ship finally moves toward shore, lowering it's anchor just off of a steep cliff face thats almost level with the ship. A few skeletons stretch out a long plank that runs from ship to shore and Sargatans moves madly across it with a wicked grin on his face. He spins around under the dying trees, shrouded in the darkness of the fell magics of this jungle. "Ah... home.."
Orcy The Green Wonder 08-29-07, 12:04 PM	Location: The shores of Horchound Various undead, skeletons and zombies for the most part wander about by the shore. They largely ignore Sargatanas, noticing him more as one of their own than some intruder. Over the course of the journey, monstrous undead fish and sea creatures of the sort have approached the ship, examining it's contents but doing nothing else. It would seem for now that the mad necromancer's plan was working, the undead took little interest in a ship full of the dead. When he steps to the shore a few turn to look in his direction but look away just as quickly. To Davar's nose the stench here is almost unbearable even through the mask. The stench of rot is heavy in the air, clinging to everything and covering all.
Sargatanas 08-29-07, 03:24 PM	Location: The shores of Horchound William and Nhyris make their way to the shore to stand beside Sargatanas. Turning back toward the ship he waves a skeleton over and after a short conversation the skeleton returns to the ship. He disappears downstairs only to re-emerge carrying one of Sargatanas' large leather chairs. Brining it over to the shore the skeleton sets it down and Sargatanas takes a seat, leaning back and watching the forest.
Demonfey 08-29-07, 08:05 PM	Location: The shores of horchound. After trying hard not to begin coughing and gagging due to the smell, Davar finally comes down. What is the plan, sir?
Sargatanas 08-29-07, 08:20 PM	Location: The shores of horchound "Kick back, wait around for a little bit, gotta give them stupid goodies a nice chance to get themselves into a mess and under attack. Once thats happened we can get things inta swingin. Sure, we could probably destroy hordes upon hordes of undead by ourselves and charge inta the temple, but whats the fun when ya ain't hurtin the good guys in the doin eh? So, what we're gonna do is sit back and let em get themselves swarmed. Then we go inta the temple. I figure its been about two days since we left. That means they'll be right about at the edge of the settlement by now if they took that woman's ship. Undead should be noticin em soon and then we waltz inta the temple with much less resistance. Course, no problem with these undead here long as ya wear the mask, had that borrowed without the intent ta return from the 'new ruler' here. Makes these poor saps think you're about as undead as I am, and protects ya from the infections. So the little chump skellies won't be a problem. If they are... willie will take care of em for us."
Demonfey 08-29-07, 09:21 PM	location: the shores of horchound Sounds good to me. He cuts down a tree with his knee. (Found a feat that lets me switch between bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage when using natural weapons in Secrets of Sarlona, if anyone wonders how he can do that.)
Sargatanas 08-29-07, 10:46 PM	Location: The shores of Horchound "Yep, a great plan that will be flawless, unless we die. Well... you'd die, I'd re-die. But, don't fear, if you die I'll simply bring you back as a more powerful, more un-dead creature! You would be much better off undead you know. You'd be stronger... faster... varying degrees of both depending on what you want. You'd be far better off though like I said." Sargatanas waves a hand toward William and Nhyris as he speaks. Pointing to William when he mentions greater strength and Nhyris when he mentions greater speed.
Demonfey 08-29-07, 11:27 PM	Location: the shores of Horchound A little diversity in your group never hurts. If everyone you work with is undead, then your weak point is really easy to spot. Unless you have some visages under your control. I'm pretty sure they don't suffer the same positive energy weakness of the average undead.
CaptainShar 08-30-07, 12:18 PM	Location: North-west shore of the jungle Shar slows the Blade as the vegetation deepens on the horizon. She takes a mask and hands another to Alexander. She signals all captains of any accompanying vessels to come aboard for a brief discussion before going ashore, and to divide the masks.
CaptainShar 08-30-07, 12:22 PM	Location: Northern edge of the jungle Taking turns to 'detect evil' (when they get reasonably close) the paladins set off in the direction of the forest. Nedin hands Korraemus his belt again, I'll lend this back to you, since I haven't finished my new bow yet.
Demonfey 08-30-07, 12:45 PM	Nothern edge of the jungle Korraemus lightly pushes it back towards the pixie. I needed one sooner than this, so I already bought another one. Had tae trade in a couple'a items to do it, but in the end I managed to get a new one.
Orcy The Green Wonder 08-30-07, 03:29 PM	Location: North-West shore of Horchound The ship arrives by the shores of the jungle. Tall trees rise up bordering on a massive globe of darkness. There is little in the way of stench here, though the occasional strong wind brings the un-plesant odor of rotting flesh and plant matter from out of the globe. Alexander, donning the mask looks warily at the shore. His settlement is distant on the horizon but just barely noticible by the columns of smoke rising from within it. Location: Northern edge of Horchoud The Paladins as well come upon the sight of tall trees, backed by a massive globe of darkness. From this distance their detection abilities cannot note anything within this globe, but the feeling it eminates is pure evil. Even from their location nearing it's borders they can see the occasional shadowy figure shift within the tree-line. The sight of a pale while limb, tattered clothing, many signs of creatures lurking within. As they grow closer the stench grows thicker. Location: Shores of Horchound (south) While Sargatanas reclines and speaks about the wonders of undead, the branch of a dead tree shifts and groans under a new weight. A skeletal creature with no discernable flesh rests above him. It's red eyes shining out from beneath it's cloak. It clicks it's teeth and stares down at him, a raspy, haunting voice forcing it's way out from it's open mouth. "You are... the one who will not be named... the... deposed... You are... the fallen lord... why.... have you returned?"
Demonfey 08-30-07, 04:57 PM	Location: northern edge of Horchound. Korraemus watches the things in there, before activating heat vision. He also draws his halberd. So, jus' charge in and begin laying about, o' what?
CaptainShar 08-30-07, 05:41 PM	Northern Edge Seems a good way to start. Hmm, I don't think I can see in there too well...I guess I'll just aim at whatever feels evil, and if I'm terribly amiss, shout out something, OK? Then if we find folk who need help, or maybe someone who's behind all this, we can formulate a more specific plan later. Nedin goes invisible (30 ft. in the air) and nocks an arrow, following Korraemus into the black. Northwest Shore Those folks need help. Now. Palaver later; I'm going in. Shar fastens her mask as well, takes Alexander on the carpet, and flies toward the village, keeping a sharp eye below, and staying well out of reach of the ground for now.
Demonfey 08-30-07, 05:48 PM	Location: Northern edge Arright. He charges the massed undead in the forest, halberd held to be used as an axe. HRAAAAAAAAAAAAGH! (Raging, charging right into the darkness) Location: Shores of Horchound Davar looks at the skeletal creature. Shall I, sir?
Sargatanas 08-31-07, 03:33 AM	Location: Shores of Horchound Sargatanas looks up and tilts his head to the side laughing and standing up with a hop. He walks toward the tree and cranes his neck to look up at the other undead creature. "Well skinny. Goes like this. Throne stolen, ruler angry. Throne not given back, ruler take back. You see skinny, I'm going to destroy everything that gets in my way until I have my throne back. Those of you that do not resist will be granted forgiveness and even rewarded. Those of you who do get in my way will be reduced to ash and dust in my wake. So, you can either fall in line and serve, or I can break you into so many tiny little bits that it will take all the undead in this jungle years to put you back together right."
Orcy The Green Wonder 09-01-07, 01:35 AM	Location: Northern Edge Korraemus charges forward into the blackness, promptly finding that charging at full speed, head first into a jungle is a bad idea. Even worse when one finds they cannot see. He collides with a tree almost instantly, moving barely ten feet into the jungle before his head and one of the remnants of a once proud tree meet head on. His collision drives him to the ground as the tree proves a bit sturdier than he himself. Nedin hears this, barely managing to avoid clipping his wings on a branch when he flys into the darkness. The shuffling of feet and clicking of bones can be heard moving toward the savage paladin. He feels a curved blade dig into his side and another slice just barely through the padded joints of his armor. The sound of other ringing metal echoes from around him as old blades reflect off his armor. Korraemus takes 19 subdual damage from running headfirst into a tree. Korraemus takes 13 and 3 damages from two seperate attacks. Nedin barely avoids clipping his wings on a branch and stays airborne. Location: Northwest Shore Kaer-Thok watches Shar fly off and turns toward Salise. He gives her a quick peck on the cheek before leaping overboard and running through the empty skies after her, fastening a mask to his face as he moves. He quickly catches up to her and slows his pace to keep from running too far ahead. The group makes their way toward the settlement, the smoke rising up from it is only part of it's worries. A thick cloud of purplish-black gas is dispersing slowly around the settlement, little vapor still remaining within walls that are shattered and broken. The gates of the small fort are shattered completely and resting broken in the dirt streets. Location: The Shores of Horchound (south) The skeletal being looks Sargatanas over slowly, it's eyes glowing brightly for a time before they dim and it's hooded head shakes. "No... cannot betray. Know this... you... know... cannot. Master's hold... too great. Perhaps... needn't fight... perhaps. Not alone... more on path. More you fight... more... always more..."
Aramar the Black 09-01-07, 01:04 PM	Location: Northwest Shore Brace watches silently as the others depart. He scans the jungle, tightening the straps of his spiked chainmail. He takes a mask and attachs it to his face as he leaps overboard and chases after the those ahead.
Demonfey 09-01-07, 01:57 PM	(You have to put a location and group color at the top, like this) Location: Northern Edge Not particularly phased by the tree (although if he survives, he will be embarrassed later), he swings at the creatures that stabbed him, eyes blazing. Initiative: 22 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1236911) Attack: 40 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1236914), 30 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1236914), 29 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1236923) Let us know what you want for miss chance (ex: hit 1, miss 2, on 1d2) Damage: 18, 26, 21 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1236931)
Orcy The Green Wonder 09-01-07, 02:55 PM	Location: Northern Edge Korraemus swings wildly at the creatures he is unable to see. His blade manages to strike only one of the creatures, but the damage done is enough to destroy the beast. The other swings go wide and one hits the tree he ran into instead of any creatures. Orcy would like to note that Detect Evil is a concentration effect, which means that you need to take a standard action to keep it active. Which means that you are indeed completely blind in this forest. Even if you do detect evil, as Orcy said, the globe of darkness itself is EVIL. Which means the very darkness around your registers under detect evil.
Demonfey 09-01-07, 04:26 PM	Which is why I asked about if you wanted to have us roll something for miss chance.
CaptainShar 09-01-07, 11:36 PM	Location: Northern edge Get out, fly out! I can't sense a thing in here, and I might be hitting you for all I know! Nedin casts Dispel Magic (Area, DC 14) and then flies back and upward. Location: Northwest Shore Shar nods at Kaer-Thok. When they reach the settlement, she scrutinizes the area from above, looking for any signs of movement or activity, plus any places that look like they haven't been broken into. Any idea where the strongest might have managed to hold out, Alexander?
Orcy The Green Wonder 09-02-07, 02:28 AM	((Orcy rolls miss percent chances himself, its supposed to be done by the DM if Orcy remembers correctly, and it makes it a bit easier on boards. If you have a prefered set of numbers for miss chance, feel free to send them to Orcy.)) Location: Ravaged Settlement The settlement lies mostly in ruins. Buildings burnt down and bodies lying in the streets in many a place. Much commotion can be heard in the heart of the settlement. A group of undead bashing away and clawing at the doors to what appears to be the largest building in the settlement. From it's design it appears to be some sort of meeting hall/makeshift keep. Rather crude ramparts and the like have done little to hold back the oncoming dead, but it's sturdy doors seem to be doing the trick for the moment. Who inside is alive however is hard to tell because of the blocked windows and doorways. Alexander directs Shar's attention toward this scene when asked where the survivors may have held out. Kaer-Thok motions toward Shar and silently directs her attention toward a single undead figure lurking in the background. It hides just beyond viewing range, it's shadow and the occasional glimpse of it's rotting features visible when it peeks it's head out from the corner. It stands back, but near enough the undead to be heard. The figure moves and the undead change tactics, a few yanking on boards that rest outside the windows. Another set of more agile skeletons begin to scale the wall of the building. Drawing his sword Kaer-Thok begins to creep through the air toward the hidden figure, motioning Shar toward the climbing skeletons. He moves silently across the air, glancing over his shoulder toward the following hob, hoping their reinforcements arrived first.
CaptainShar 09-02-07, 01:52 PM	Location: Ravaged Settlement Shar whispers to the boy: Lie down and hold tight to the carpet. She stands and directs the carpet to dive quickly down to the scaling skeletons, maintaining her balance easily aboard the pitching carpet. (I'll post rolls if I get there this round.)
Aramar the Black 09-02-07, 04:38 PM	Location: Ravaged settlement Brace runs along quietly as always, soon getting a clear view of the ruins. Noticing the actions of those ahead of him, and those they are after, he readies his stave and goes into a long-strided jog.
Orcy The Green Wonder 09-02-07, 06:43 PM	Location: Northern Edge Korraemus feels another scimitar slice across his body, barely piercing his armor but cutting into him regardless. The sounds of shuffling grow closer and a few low moans can be heard from around him in the darkness of the jungle. Nedin's words sounding from somewhere nearby. Location: Ravaged Settlement Kaer-Thok easily slips toward the hidden creature, making his way stealthily and swiftly through the air until he stands beside the corner the creature hides around. Alexander nods quickly and drops to the carpet, clinging tightly to it and closing his eyes. Shar brings the carpet swiftly around and guides it quickly to the skeletons that scale the wall. They are, however, aware of the danger she poses and waiting. As the two come near to colliding with their foes, Brace makes his appearance at the entrance to the settlment. Witnessing his allies approach as he comes into viewing range. Initiative needed, including Brace. Korraemus may act.
Demonfey 09-02-07, 07:04 PM	Location: Northern edge Not hearing the pixie's wise words through the rage he feels towards these aberrations, Korraemus continues to swing. (If he drops one, I'd like to attempt a cleave) Attacks: 43, 42, 20 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1238591) Damage: 20, 21, 17 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1238593)
Orcy The Green Wonder 09-02-07, 07:52 PM	Location: Northern Edge Korraems swings blindly in the darkness, his blade strikes nothing but the air around him. He can hear and feel as scimitars move past his head. With the moans close now he feels a fist slam into his side with a rough deal of force. Korraemus takes 2 damage (forgot to post last time). Korraemus takes 6 damage (this time).
Aramar the Black 09-02-07, 07:59 PM	Initiative: 6 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1238671)
CaptainShar 09-03-07, 01:11 AM	Location: Northern Edge Nedin narrows his eyes and, hovering in place to avoid hitting branches, turns all the undead he can hear. Turn: 22 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1238987) (Level 10 max) Location: Ravaged Settlement Initiative: 25 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1238982)
Orcy The Green Wonder 09-03-07, 01:49 AM	Location: Northern Edge The sound of undead collapsing and their bodies bursting sounds all around Korraemus. He can hear as the dust falls around him into the dead leaves and even over his body as well. Location: Ravaged Settlement Initiative Order: Shar, Kaer-Thok, Undead, Figure, Brace
CaptainShar 09-03-07, 02:04 AM	Location: Ravaged Settlement Shar draws her light mace (of Disruption!) and spins completely around with it, smashing it into all the skeletons in her path. Whirlwind attacks: Whirlwind attack mace vs. climbing skellies 28, 39) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1239024) Damage: Light mace damage vs. skellies 4, 3 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1239027) DC 14 Will Save or destroyed
Sargatanas 09-03-07, 06:45 PM	Location: Shores of Horchound Sargatanas hisses and waves his hand. Lifting an arm and motioning for his allies to disembark from the ship. A detachment of skeletons follows the orders quickly and come to shore, forming up behind him. He and his others stare at the creature in the trees and start to move on, marching deeper into the forest.
Orcy The Green Wonder 09-04-07, 02:18 AM	Location: Shores of Horchound The creature hangs it's head, letting them pass and making no moves to stop them. It leans back against the tree and looks out to the sea, turning it's gaze toward the ship full of the dead and watching it. Location: Ravaged Settlement Kaer-Thok rounds the corner, stepping forward with his rapier and stabbing at the creature with his rapier. He thrusts into it's body only twice, his third attack glancing off it's heavy armor. His blows, which would prove painfully accurate were the thing living, strike deeply but with less power than one would hope. The first two skeletons fall easily as another three climb upward. They grip the wall tightly with one claw each and draw scimitars in unison as they move. All three swing at Shar, one's blade managing to cut into her flesh. The figure steps forward and swings it's large mace with both hands. Attempting to slam the mace into Kaer-Thok's body with bone-breaking force, but his blows fail to land. Kaer-Thok retaliates, stabbing with his own quick attacks while the creature is left off-balance by it's attacks. His rapier peirces skin a number of times, stabbing into the creature's innards but lacking his usual lethal efficiency. His blade remains dim, covered with the creature's foul necromantic fluids. Shar takes 4 damage. Kaer-Thok does 22 damage then 27 damage in retaliation.
Aramar the Black 09-04-07, 10:37 AM	Location: Ravaged Settlement Being behind as he is, Brace will spend his turn getting close enough to the battle so that he can be within attacking range on his next turn.
CaptainShar 09-04-07, 11:08 AM	Location: Ravaged Settlement Laughing at the clumsiness with which the skeletons are trying to climb and fight at the same time, Shar repeats her previous maneuver on these three. Whirlwind attack light mace (1d20+19=27, 1d20+19=35, 1d20+19=34) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1240935) Damage light mace (1d6+2=6, 1d6+2=4, 1d6+2=3) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1240936) Again, DC 14 Will Save Location: Northern Edge Get out of there, you daft bird-brain! We can fight them once we have a plan!
Orcy The Green Wonder 09-04-07, 03:37 PM	Location: Ravaged Settlment Kaer-Thok again thrusts with his rapier, his lenses flash and his arm moves swiftly, stabbing more than should be possible. Three wounds appear in figure's body as his blade flashes back to his side. Kaer-Thok grins slightly beneath his mask, perhaps undead would not be so difficult after all. The creature hisses angrily, gritting it's rotting teeth it hefts it's mace and swings at Kaer-Thok hard. It's mace flashes with a dark crackling energy but it fails to strike him, his reflexes simply prove too fast for it's own. Cursing it swings another pair of times but fails to hit all the same. Kaer-Thok takes the opportunities given to him. He thrusts between the zombie-like creatures swings. Stabbing his blade into it's rotting flesh all three times in retaliation. While the monster Kaer-Thok battles staggers and attempts to catch it's balance, the skeletal climbers swing their blades at Captain Shar. Two miss their attacks, the other, appears to be struggling but finally collapses into dust and falls from the wall. Below her, the twang of a number of bowstrings sound, arrows flying into the air. Four arrows fly up past the carpet completely missing their marks, one however manages to connect, peircing Shar's defenses and leaving it's mark on her arm. The skeletons reload their bows as Brace comes into range of the massed group of undead huddled around the doors. Many of them turn toward him, raising old blades or other weapons. Kaer-Thok deals 29 damage then retaliates with another 36. Shar kills one skeleton and takes 4 damage.
Aramar the Black 09-04-07, 05:22 PM	Location: Ravaged Settlement Brace runs nearer the skeletons, and twirls his quarterstaff. Planting himself directly before the front line of them, he attempts to strike those nearest to him. Quarterstaff Attack: 23, 19, 11 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1241713) Quarterstaff Damage: 13, 12, 10 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1241720)
CaptainShar 09-04-07, 07:21 PM	Location: Ravaged Settlement Oh, come on! Fall down! Shar is a little more precise this time and whacks both of them in quick succession, twice. (ABAB) Light mace (1d20+19=24, 1d20+19=34) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1241993), Attack light mace, (1d20+14=26) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1242004), Attack light mace (1d20+9=22) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1241996) Damage light mace (1d6+2=3, 1d6+2=7, 1d6+2=8, 1d6+2=8) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1242008) DC 14 Will Save
Orcy The Green Wonder 09-05-07, 03:21 AM	Location: Ravaged Settlement Kaer-Thok presses his attack, lightning sparking and running along his arms, up the blade of his sword. He thrusts repeatedly into the zombie creature's body, stabbing it in the chest a number of times. His blows again are accurate but do not have the same impact against the creature's already-dead anatomy. The creature hisses at Kaer-Thok, bringing it's mace back and changing tactics. It lunges forward with an outstretched hand, attempting to lay it's hand on Kaer-Thok's body. A burst of black energy pulses out of the creature's hand as it presses against the fencer's chest. The creature grins at the fencer and hefts it's mace in preperation for his strike. Kaer-Thok winces, not used to being hit all that often. He narrows his eyes and spins his blade around quickly, stabbing at the creature while it is still off balance from it's attack. The skeletons turn on Shar again, slashing with their blades. One fails to hit anything but air, barely coming close enough to be called an attack. The other however is either more skilled or luckier, slashing across Shar's thigh with it's scimitar. Meanwhile, the skeletons below reload and take aim again, firing their bows at the woman on the carpet. This time two archers hit their target, a pair of arrows flying across her limbs again to leave marks of their own. Brace strikes one of the skeletons in the chest with his staff, cracking a few bones. The next two, unarmed creatures, he crushes completely with his staff. Apparently angered by being struck the first of the creatures retaliates with it's scimitar. It's attack cutting into the Hob's body to give him his first wound of the battle. A few more skeletons approach, a couple swing, but only one is noteworthy in it's ability to weild it's weapon. Shar Kills another skeleton. Kaer-Thok does 27 damage. Kaer-Thok takes 14 damage. Kaer-Thok does 15 damage. Shar takes 6 damage, 5 damage, and 2 damage. Brace kills a skeleton. Brace takes 8 damage. Location: In the Jungle (Southern Section) Sargatanas and his people move through the thick rot that was once jungle vegitation. The stench coming on again new each time they disturb a pile of the foul smelling stuff. Their good luck however cannot go on forever. They soon find themselves approached at the front by a small contingent of undead. Weapons drawn and at the ready they face a group of skeletons lead by a pair of gaunt creatures in armor. Their skin drawn tight agaisnt their muscular forms where visible beneath their armor. A voice, unused to being used, cracks from beneath one of the helms. "Return to where you have come from. There is nothing for you here but death. Unless you come to swear your loyalty to our lord. Otherwise, you will die here, for some of you, this will be nothing new. This is your last warning, leave here now, we have no time to play with the fallen."
Demonfey 09-05-07, 02:53 PM	Location: Northern edge Korrae, without obvious foes, calms down shortly. Uh...Which way's out? Location: In the jungle (southern section) Davar stands back, wishing to find out what Sargatanas will say first before he tears into the hostiles, though he does get ready to rush them.
CaptainShar 09-05-07, 03:05 PM	Location: Northern Edge I suggest: Up. Keep your hands out to feel for branches, though. Nedin follows his own advice.
Demonfey 09-05-07, 04:46 PM	Location: Northern edge Hm... He draws his warpike, and uses it to feel around for the tree he ran into originally, or for other obstacles in the nearby area.
Aramar the Black 09-05-07, 11:09 PM	Location: Ravaged Settlement Brace ignores the scimitar's bite, and attacks again with his staff, focusing on the armed skeletons.

CaptainShar 09-06-07, 12:20 AM	Location: Ravaged Settlement Haven't had enough of this medicine yet? Shar divides her blows among any climbing skeletons within reach, and glares down at the others, daring them to try and climb. As this thought occurs to her, she takes a quick glance around for any who've sneaked to another side of the building. Attacks: Nat 1 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1245053), Light mace (1d20+14=27) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1245058), Light mace (1d20+9=22) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1245060) DC 14 Will (Sorry; I took too many attacks earlier, because I usually take so many with either my TWF or my Spring Attack.) Location: Northern Edge Once they reemerge into the light, Nedin blinks into visibility and hovers in front of Korraemus. Well, that was pretty much a disaster. I have two ideas: one, lurk on the edges and pick them off. Or two, find something that'll let us see in there. Detect evil does no good when the background's evil, and those things don't have any body heat either. I'm favoring a side trip to the city to pick up a magical antidote to this darkness. You?
Demonfey 09-06-07, 01:11 AM	Location: Northern Edge Plan B sounds good tae me 'bout now. Think I ran intae a bloody tree in there.
Lady Rolindin 09-06-07, 02:13 AM	The Raven's Song arrives (Travel time?), while making a heading for Horchound Eala would have used a locate spell to find the Blade. Once the location is found, the ship haeds toward the shores and gets close to the Blade. Captain Fi'rua has Eala cast a wind walk and she will go over to the Blade deck. Kord, Brensaw, and Julius (if Ssaragoth wish to travel on the Raven's Song). Kord and 1 3rd level cleric will make their way to the village then, any others who wish to go along need to replie; Eglentyne and SSaragoth.
Eglentyne 09-06-07, 03:38 AM	Brensas go on land, He remember what things crew do on ship. He look back at them in wonder how they make ship move on water. Brensas tell others this, " this place smell."
CaptainShar 09-06-07, 10:51 AM	Location: Northwest Shore On board the Noumenal Blade are Salise and Shar's crew. Janine, the First Mate, tells everyone that the others have all gone to the village in the distance, but they also all wore masks, and there aren't any more masks. Location: Northern Edge I see. Well then. You're a little hurt. Nedin heals Korraemus as they fly back to the sunlit outer edge of the jungle. Let's go, I suppose. They start flying west to the city.
Orcy The Green Wonder 09-06-07, 01:33 PM	Location: Ravaged Settlement Kaer-Thok spins his blade, his bracers flashing and crackling again with electricity. Bringing his sword around he stabs into the undead creature with yet another three swift strikes, keeping his steps quick and his typical unusual stance. Burying his blade deep into the creature's body twice, he brings it around and thrusts the tip into the creature's head. When he pulls back he brings his sword up infront of him and nods toward the monster. The remaining skeleton on the wall shakes violently for a moment before it too falls to the enhancement of Shar's mace. Those below raise their bows again, regardless of the activity above them and fire their arrows toward the woman on the carpet yet again. The young Alexander lies gripping tightly to the same carpet below the woman, a look of terror plastered across his face for all to see. Three of the skeleton's arrows fly wide and vanish somewhere above the rooftops, while a fourth cuts across Shar's body again. The fifth however flys true and burries itself deeply in Shar's side. The other dead raise their weapons or claws again, slashing and clawing at Brace. The two sword weilders hit the hob, their blades leaving shallow cuts across his more exposed flesh. The others flail helplessly at him but don't do much more than make themselves look less a threat with each attack. Looking down at it's wounds the creature in combat with Kaer-Thok grins wickedly. It lifts it's hand and growls, pulling back and ready to thrust it forward. It never finishes the movement. Blinking it falls to it's knees and collapses dead on the ground. Kaer-Thok does 45 damage. Shar takes 21 damage. Brace takes 8 damage.
CaptainShar 09-06-07, 04:29 PM	Shar whispers quickly at Alexander: It's OK, we're winning! Just stay where you are! She guides the carpet to within ten feet of the ground and dives off it into the clump of archers, mace at the ready to hit any who try to back away for a better shot. How do you like it now that I'm close enough to reach you, eh? (Oops, I forgot that Brace goes first. I'll do this if nothing drastic happens during his turn.)
Lady Rolindin 09-06-07, 05:48 PM	Location by the ships: Kord ( Paladin of Celestial), has one of the wizards scury the village. Seeing what is happening, he tells the others to stay while he goes in first. Brensaw can travel with the other if he wishes too eglentyne, Kord then disappears. Kord apprears by the gates of the village. Then goes through the gate, what the others can see is a man dressed in black full plate armor, carring an shield. on the shield is a larger cresent moon, then a smaller cresent moon on the top of the symbol, each symbol has gems in the cresent moons. He has the same symbol around his neck. He is carrying an war hammer on him. Kord then dissapears and appears at the Halls of refuge having traveled with the raven's songs and now leaving to take care of what he needs to. Juskirk will wait untill the captain gets back and tell her what he saw. On captain ship Captain Fu' Rua then thinks for a moment, " Masks what do they have masks, if you don't mind me asking. Would my crew need these masks you speak of ? I know your trying to help some people, but this wasen't mention before. Will my paladin's and cleric's aboard my ship be allright to go ashore then and try and help", she asks the first mate.
CaptainShar 09-06-07, 06:28 PM	As far as I can understand it, the masks are there to combat some kind of breathable curse that turns you into an undead under the control of whoever's on the throne at the Temple of the Damned. You might want to be careful if you don't have one. (Remember, Rolindin, that your followers haven't been approved yet. You can't use them in combat - or to cast spells - until they're approved. If you want us to detail out the allowed followers for your character, please ask us to do so. If you want to keep your followers as they are, we can discuss such things as paying them (for the extra Level 15, for example.))
Sargatanas 09-06-07, 08:08 PM	Location: In the Jungle (Southern Section) Sargatanas groans loudly with a long drawn out sigh. He puts his hands on his hips and the gem in his eye flashes brightly.Taking up his staff from against his shoulder he waves it through the air toward the undead that are infront of them. "You don't have time eh? Well, that'd be true since you are all going to die. Ya can serve me or ya can die, and since I'm knowin what you'll pick.... boys... SLAUGHTER THEM!"

My character sheet is linked in my signature.)) Kady briefly closes her eyes, and the air nearby twists out of shape. Out of a portal steps a large, yellow dog, his fur scintillating strangely. (Paladin's Mount, blink dog, using the rules in AeEG.) The portal closes as the dog emerges. Kady nods a greeting to her partner and stands awaiting orders. "My abilities are mostly suited towards fighting dragons... I'm afraid I may not be much use with undead, if that's what we'll face. Still, I may be able to place some healing spells in the right spots."
Aramar the Black 09-06-07, 10:47 PM	Location: Ravaged Settlement Brace growls at the resistance of the boney creatures. "El-Davrien!" he cries as he repeats his previous action.

Sargatanas 09-06-07, 11:05 PM	Location: In the Jungle (southern section) William steps foward with a wicked grin spreading across his partially rotten face. He raises a hand, forming arcane gestures and weaving a small ball of electrical energy into the air. Finishing his spell he points a single finger toward the lead creature and laughs loudly, a bolt of lightning leaping forward. The bolt streaks out and through the first of the creatures, leaping to the second then into the skeletons behind them, each time tearing through the air with a crack. Sargatanas simply laughs. Chain Lightning: 58 damage (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1246897) 29 to the second, 14 to the first skelly, 7 to the second, 3 to the third, 1 to the fourth and I think it'd be doin 1 to the next... 9 skellies...
Orcy The Green Wonder 09-07-07, 12:24 AM	Location: Ravaged Settlement Kaer-Thok looks down at his rapier and back up toward the skeletons. He sighs and shakes his head, moving forward and walking past a group of skeletons, stabbing with his blade at each of them as he passes by, leaving himself seeminly open. His strikes bring a few skeletons down, their bodies collapsing from shattered bones and falling into lifeless piles, the third however is stronger and strikes back, but fails to hit. Kaer-Thok retaliates stabbing into bones again. The skeletons turn on shar as she lands, the archers dropping their bows to favor their claws. Bony digits slash and claw at her body as she drops into the midst of them. Four claws connect, digging into her skin and tearing at her exposed flesh. Brace takes another scimitar slash and a skeleton's luck proves to be on the better side, finally landing a claw on him. The skeletons on Kaer-Thok's side move in, clawing and slashing with their weapons at him. He proves much too quick for them however, stabbing and retaliating against any that move in and attempt to strike at him. He retaliates against the other skeletons, striking down to more after their attacks. Kaer-Thok kills 2 skeletons. Kaer-Thok does 19 damage. Shar takes 17 damage. Brace takes 10 damage. Kaer-Thok does 12 damage. Kaer-Thok kills 2 skeletons. ((Kady, Orcy believes you meant to be with the Paladin group, if that is so then you're posting with the wrong location. The paladins are currently at the location Northern Edge. If you did intend however to join the other group, feel free to roll initiative.))
Demonfey 09-07-07, 02:24 AM	@Kady: Actually, we weren't part of that, partially because of a DM rule that says no player can run two of their characters in the same area, meaning Nedin and Shar couldn't be in the same area. We are currently heading to the merchant's guild to try and find a viable way to see in the darkness since it also gives off an evil aura. However, Team Purple (due to their location color) could benefit from a paladin, so it works out in the end. @team evil: I'll deal with combat in the morning.
Demonfey 09-07-07, 01:10 PM	Location: jungle (southern section) Moving faster than most can into attack range of the contingent, he begins a small flurry into the first of the armored foes. Flurry rolls: 23, 30, 24, 24 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1248302) Damage (where applicable): 9, 9, 13, 12 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1248314)
Sargatanas 09-07-07, 02:11 PM	Location: In the Jungle (southern section) Sargatanas laughs, raising one hand and pointing toward the second creature. A hail of arrows errupt from the skeleton unit a ways back behind Sargatanas and his small group. The arrows plummet downward, all concentrated solely on the creature Sargatanas pointed to. Shifting his hand while the other works through the motions of a spell he laughs again. A small marble sized red ball streaks out from his finger. Flying through the air it lands almost in the center of the skeletal group, exploding in a burst of flames that expands out to cover the two armored foes as well, stopping just infront of Davar. Concentrated Arrow Volley: Attack: 24 (hit) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1248414) Damage: 55 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1248414) Reflex save for half: DC 16 Fireball: DC 20 Damage: 35 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1248420)
Orcy The Green Wonder 09-07-07, 04:23 PM	Location: In the Jungle (southern section) The creautres groan and roar with thunder and flames crashing down around them. Impaled by arrows and struck by bolts of energy the two groan but remain standing. Their skeletons surge forward toward their enemies. A number are struck down by the flames and lightning but the majority remain as they charge forward. Davar quickly finds himself surrounded by undead, skeletons swinging their scimitars at him with quiet, emotionless stares. Only a single scimitar cuts into his flesh, leaving a small gash on his arm. Sargatanas and William combined kill 7 skeletons. Davar takes 7 damage.
Sargatanas 09-07-07, 04:35 PM	Location: In the Jungle (southern section) Nhyris slithers forward and hacks at the nearest creature with his scimitar. Brining the blade around and swinging with all the might his new undead body can muster. He drives hard into the creature infront of him.

NightScreamer20 09-07-07, 05:34 PM	@CaptainShar & Demonfey: Would you allow Ray to join in upon your group? And if sooo... @Orcy: If I'm allowed I would assume I'd be with the Paladins group? Being that Ray was traveling from the north to the South towards Horchound and was planning to make his "Garden" near the edges... I would only assume this is where I would be if I belonged with this group, correct?
Kady_Small 09-07-07, 07:36 PM	((So...uhm, where exactly am I right now, considering I started at the Halls of Refuge? And what's around me? Could somebody post a group summary also?))

Kady_Small 09-07-07, 10:12 PM	((OK. Logically, I would have left with the paladins, so that puts me in the green group, and thus Tyrannor.)) "So, what do we know about the situation? We'll need to plan carefully before we move in. My personal suggestion would be to hide ourselves from the weaker undead and find out who's controlling them. After we take out those people, mopping up should be pretty easy. There is the problem of survivors, though... Do we have a way of protecting or quickly transporting anyone we find out of there?"
Demonfey 09-07-07, 10:18 PM	Location: Heading towards the Merchant's guild Well, tha main thing we ken is tha' we cannae see in tha jungle. We need tae fix tha', so we're goin' tae try tha merchant sector. Tha's all we ken.

I forget, can you cast Daylight on something, like you can do with a simple light spell? "I can figure out most scrolls, if that's all we can find, but the armor gets in the way sometimes. ((UMD +19, 15% failure.)) Have we got any spellcasters?"
Demonfey 09-08-07, 12:28 AM	Location: Heading towards Merchant's guild Dunno what'd work. We're pallies of freedom, we tend to rush intae combat first. So we go tae find out wha' will work an' what willnae. (We should probably move conversation to the Merchant's guild)
NightScreamer20 09-08-07, 03:33 AM	Location On way from the North to Horchound Robes aflutter, satchel swung over his pack and whistling an uncannily haunting tune for such a cleric dressed in gold and white, Ray sees upon a group of adventurers upon the horizon. His shimmering glass bauble like a beacon upon the dark sky.
Kady_Small 09-08-07, 07:47 AM	Location: En Route to Merchant's Guild Kady sighs and smiles wryly, remembering many similarly impulsive companions. "I'm used to that, unfortunately. Don't see how you folk ever get anything done without any decent plans. All right. I have some knowledge of magic, and it seems it's magic we need." Kady tries to remember what might be useful on the island--specifically, the nature of the darkness and how to counter it, the undead and who might be controlling them, and any other relevant information.

Greetings there! Greetings I say!
CaptainShar 09-08-07, 01:14 PM	Location: Ravaged Settlement Shar grimaces at the unexpected cuts and lays about her with furious speed and whirling fury. Whirlwind attack with light mace (1d20+19=37, 1d20+19=35, 1d20+19=39, 1d20+19=26, 1d20+19=23, 1d20+19=35, 1d20+19=32, 1d20+19=21) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1250672) Damage for whirlwind attacks (1d6+2=4, 1d6+2=7, 1d6+2=7, 1d6+2=8, 1d6+2=4, 1d6+2=4, 1d6+2=5, 1d6+2=5) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1250675) That's all for me for the moment, folks!

Gulien 09-08-07, 02:30 PM	Location:Southern Edge descending from the mountains Descending into the jungle from the foothills to the south a large figure walks into the darkness. At home in the darkness Gorad shifts the tarped and covered burden from his back to his shoulder. Walking deeper into the Jungle he looks about for a place to hide the item. Finding a spot he goes to work to conceal it amongst the trees. Once done he stands and peers into the jungle. With a voice like a corpse being drug over gravel the man whispers to himself. The hunt begins anew... With that he jumps into the air shifting to the form of a Dire Bat and flies off into the jungle reveling in the beautiful darkness. Hide Check to conceal the package in the jungle. (1d20+30=44) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1250813)
Orcy The Green Wonder 09-08-07, 03:57 PM	Location: Ravaged Settlement A circle of skeletons surround Shar when she spins and strikes with her mace. When she has finished an explosion of dust and bone flys all about her, leaving only one of the skeletons to remain standing. Kaer-Thok glances toward Shar as she speaks, he grits his teeth and leaps up into the air, spinning over the skeletons and stabbing downward at them with lightning coursing along his blade. Landing inside the thinned out grouping of skeletons Kaer-Thok circles around thrusting at a few more skeletons before stopping beside Shar. "A fine mess you've gotten yourself into... couldn't resist jumping into the middle?" A line of skeletons collapse as Kaer-Thok brings himself to a hault. Bodies falling into piles of bones where they had once stood. A few survive the attacks and those that do move in to attack Shar and Kaer-Thok, the other group staying to try and fight it out with Brace, though the two strongest are looking awfully beaten and cracked. Shar is struck by another group of skeletons, though not as many with Kaer-Thok at her back. Kaer-Thok is struck at as well, but he parries their blows quickly and retaliates stabbing into a few of them yet again. Two more fall to his counter attacks. Shar kills 7 skeletons. Kaer-Thok kills 5 skeletons. Shar takes 11 damage. Kaer-Thok kills 2 skeletons. Kaer-Thok does (total) 49, 37, and 35 damage. Location: In the Jungle (southern section) The larger, armored creatures roar angrily at the ineffectiveness of their minions. Hefting his greataxe the one directly infront of Davar brings two quick chops down at the man's body. Both chops appear to be slightly deflected by an unseen force, doing nothing more than enraging the big beast. The second of the beasts skirts around the outside of the battle, making his way forward and stopping a good five feet away from William. He swings his massive greatsword it's blade errupting with the elements. The swing is deflected by William's buckler when he brings it up to block however. Leaving the Sargatanas force largely unscathed.
Gulien 09-08-07, 04:31 PM	Barely able to fly through the dense jungle Gorda retreats back to the earth taking on the form of a sleek black dire wolf, licking his snout he smells the air and skulks in the shadows looking for prey....

But it is good to see such faces on my quest to a place so dark and sinister. Raises the fighting spirit so to speak! He laughs heartedly and his bauble shines bright as he does, clearing the area around them of even the faintest of shadows.
CaptainShar 09-09-07, 12:55 PM	Location: Northern Edge You know, my brilliant fellow, we were just on our way to Tyrannor to find anything to help us see in the cursed darkness of the jungle. And lo and behold, it comes striding toward us! How convenient. If you should care to join us paladins, I think we may make much greater headway now. We guess there must be some dark power deep in the jungle, to give it the globe of darkness you can see; our plan is to fight any undead we find until we learn either of some living folk who need help, or find where the source of this evil darkness is located so we can stop it.
Aramar the Black 09-09-07, 03:10 PM	Location: Ravaged Settlement Brace laughs as he sees his opponents weakened so. He whacks the two skeletons with the blades, then in a fit of adreneline he attempts a kick at one of the unarmed skeletons.

Kady_Small 09-09-07, 10:18 PM	Location: Northern Edge "I'm of the opinion a more subtle approach would be better. There's magic that can hide us from the undead; we should make our way through them and confront the main problem, whatever it is. I'm betting on a cleric of some evil god, personally, though a curse isn't out of the question... But if we can do that first, then destroying the weaker minions will be easier--maybe unnecessary. "Why don't you come with us to the marketplace? The more prepared we are, the better..."

And then, with a brilliant flare from his soul he raises himself in a leap then lands, posing, flexing mightly. Ah! The light of Pelor shall rip through that darkness! Of course I shall accompany you! All of us together, we are formidable foes indeed...! He smiles and holds out his hand for Nedin to shake it, and then out to the other man, in order to introduce himself. Greetings my new companion!

Sargatanas 09-10-07, 01:43 AM	Location: In the Jungle (southern section) Stormhand steps forward, shifting his foot and raising his greatsword above his head. A flash and the blade begins to glow with arcane energy, leaving a silvery trail behind when he swings it down into the helmed thing infront of him. His sword cuts through the armor and into the undead flesh below. He gashes the creature's body and sends ichor spewing everywhere with a sadistic grin on his rotting face. William's Attacks: 30, (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1254272)27, 21 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1254315) William's Damage: 33, (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1254291)19,19 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1254326) Sargatanas looks around at the battlefield, taking note of everything going on. He laughs and rubs his exposed jaw giving everyone a look over. He notes plainly that the armored things did not seem too harmed by his fire, but shrugs and hurls another ball anyway into the mass of assembled skeletons. Fireball: 30 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1254334) DC 20 for half.

In the latter case... after which I must rest and pray to m'lord Pelor.

So I say we save time and accept Ray's fine offer. I rather imagine that we might be separated - Nedin gives Korraemus a look - given some of our natures. But we should start out together and takes turns turning the little skellies, until we meet something that would pose more of a challenge. Leastways, that's my plan.
NightScreamer20 09-11-07, 02:11 AM	Location: Northern Edge Ray thinks a moment. Then puts the baubles away. A good plan... however Turning every skeleton and zombie that approaches would drain us of our divine prowess very quickly my friend. He looks towards the jungle. We need a good plan if we are ever to survive.
CaptainShar 09-11-07, 10:34 AM	Location: Northern Edge Ah well, I suppose we could shoot some of 'em too. And we can all fly out of it of a night, I imagine. There's no need to troop straight through, day in and day out. When we weary of channeling Kord's might we may leave, and resume in the next place the next day. And if we meet any powerful ones, I can probably heal 'em to death with a touch.
Demonfey 09-11-07, 11:02 AM	Location: Northern edge An' I kin jus' smack'em til they're broken.
NightScreamer20 09-11-07, 12:45 PM	Location: Northern Edge Ray chuckles a bit. You know, a little brute force could do the trick. I say we blaze forth upon that Jungle like Ravages of Light!
Demonfey 09-11-07, 01:03 PM	Location: Northern edge Korrae pulls out his dwarven warpike, its blade changing shape slowly, a halberd, a sword, a spear, and a hammer. Anyone wanna borrow somethin' wit' a little more heft ta it?
CaptainShar 09-11-07, 01:51 PM	Location: Northern Edge My arrows may not do much, but the powers my bow gives them will. I usually fight better from a distance. So, Onward! Nedin turns to the forest and marches resolutely forward.
Kady_Small 09-11-07, 06:31 PM	Location: Northern Edge "All right, all right," says Kady. "Wait for me! But let me at least try my magic. If we can evade the minions instead of letting them wear us down, we'll be stronger for the larger battles." Kady reaches into her pack and takes out a scroll, ready to use it as they enter the forest. (Hide from Undead (http://www.systemreferencedocuments.org/35/sovelior_sage/spellsHtoL.html#hide-from-undead)) "I have two more of these, but whether that matters depends on whether or not they work."
Orcy The Green Wonder 09-11-07, 07:07 PM	Location: Ravaged Settlement Bace slays the sword wielding skeletons quickly, but his kick fails to hit the other. The skeletons numbers are dangerously low now, Kaer-Thok stepping back over Shar's unconcious form. He hurls his blade downward into the ground and quickly drops low, scooping up Shar's mace and striking at the skeletons who take the opportunity to strike at him. Three of the six skeletons that he sends the mace slamming into collapse into dust. He brings the mace around for another swing, striking at the other skeleton of the group. That one too collapses into dust. As Kaer-Thok strikes at the skeletons a loud scream is heard from inside the building. The remaining skeletons with blades look toward the building and leap away from Kaer-Thok and the others, climbing the walls of other structures and making their ways over the fences. The others move in and attempt to claw at Kaer-Thok, two remaining on Brace, five on Kaer-Thok. Only one gets lucky, clawing into Brace with it's sharpenend digits. Kaer-Thok retaliates, striking out at the skeletons around him when they leave themselves open to attack. Each one that strikes him is struck back save one, and they all collapse either in dust or piles of bones on the ground around him. Brace kills 2 skeletons Kaer-Thok kills 10 skeletons Brace takes 2 damage. Location: In the Jungle (Southern section) Most of Davar's attacks strike nothing but metal, deflected harmlessly by the creature's thick metal hide. Similarly William's slashes cut only into armor, not managing to break through the thick plate. The skeletons click their jaws and bring their blades around, slashing at Davar again, all failing to get through his skilled defenses. Another pair attack Nhyris and William, only one managing to make it through, stabbing william through a more exposed joint in his armor. William takes 2 damage.
DragonStrife 09-11-07, 08:17 PM	( Sorry I've been off for a while, internet has been down. I really hope that I'm in the right place. I've also edited her profile so she is just a half-elf.) Location: Horchound Jungle Lurania looks up from deep though. "Oh great, un-dead and jungles this should be fun." She mumbles under her breath. "Hey, Shar where you at?" She shouts out the room. Looking back in "I'm sorry, I don't know your name would you mind letting me know? Also, where are we?"
Demonfey 09-11-07, 09:10 PM	(Captain Shar's group is at the Ravaged Settlement, being attacked. To signify being in that group, use the color purple. The Holy Warrior group's under the green header, and are about to go into the jungle from the north. Finally, there's Team Evil, under red, who's the only one in the jungle. Well, besides the new vampire, anyway.)
CaptainShar 09-12-07, 12:11 AM	Location: Ravaged Settlement Shar's breathing becomes a little shallower. Stabilize (1d10=8) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1257864) Janine, aboard the Noumenal Blade, fills Lurania in: "Shar and an orc and a hobgoblin and the young man went in toward that village a few minutes ago to see if anyone was still alive. There aren't any more protective masks, though." She indicates a smoky smudge on the land visible from the ship's deck.
NightScreamer20 09-12-07, 01:18 AM	Location: Northern Edge As they begin to walk, Ray taps everyone on the head once with his Holy Symbol, a spark of divine light envelopes each of their bodies and the dissapates. Save the scroll my friend. This should give us at least 2 hours of safety before it requires to be recast... a good head start. However, once that time has ended, we will be vulnerable, so until then keeps your hands, and spells, to yourself. A smile creases his bearded face. Aye... This will be an adventure for the Ages my friends... an adventure for the Ages. Hide From Undead on all of us DC 19 Will for Undead that have a brain...
Lady Rolindin 09-12-07, 05:02 AM	Captain Shar, how long would ti take the 4 warforged to raech the village, from back on page 2. Since Juskirk though that they would not be effected, by what ever it is. The warforged are 2 1st level, 2 2nd level, how long for them to go to the village from the ships? I would think that to use the dmg fighters npc stats and warforged class abilites added. they are part of my crew.
DragonStrife 09-12-07, 06:27 AM	Location: Ravaged Settlement She looks out the window at the smoke. "I wonder, Janine, wold rain douse the fire? I'm not sure if the spell will reach, but I can try." She looks to Janine for an answer, the slowly gets up and climbs up on deck. (I've changed her spells slightly)
CaptainShar 09-12-07, 11:18 AM	Location: Offshore of the Ravaged Settlement To the best of my knowledge, water usually puts out fire. The ship is about a hundred feet offshore; the village is a bit further than that. (Rolindin: If you want some of your followers to be put in initiative, that is a question for Orcy, who is running this campaign.) Location: Northern Edge Nedin springs into the air and turns around when he feels the rap on his head. What did you do to me, Ray? He asks, flying backward.
DragonStrife 09-12-07, 02:51 PM	Location: Off shore near ravaged Settlement She nods her head, "Now the hard part, how do I get over there." She casts 'Sunbeam' to create enough water vapor then using 'Control Weather" has the new cloud go and rain on the settlement and rain. Turning around she asks Janine about the masks, how their made and what they are for.
Lady Rolindin 09-12-07, 09:41 PM	Yes I do, this would be the same as ship to ship combat. This is why, in ship to ship combat, my followers would be the ones who would run the ballists and trebuchets, not my charcter. Orcy the warfoged should be able to go help, that was the descion of my first officer, to send them. Since they have qualities that might not need a mask for. I could be wrong, about that but the 4 warfoged were sent to go help. they would have been sent ashore to go to the village.
Kady_Small 09-12-07, 10:07 PM	Location: Northern Edge "So our plan is to search the woods until we find out what's at the center of the problem, then take steps to eliminate it? Sounds good to me. Lead on!" Kady draws her rapier as they approach the woods.
Demonfey 09-12-07, 10:36 PM	Location, Northern Edge Korrae puts back most of his weapons, leaving out only the maul. Lead on, people wit' better eyes.
Aramar the Black 09-12-07, 11:15 PM	Location: Ravaged Settlement Brace laughs out loud, unceasing in his repeatitious quarterstaff attacks on the boney creatures, as he utters again in another tongue. "Rane-yam rochonecout!" Two attacks at the skeleton that scratched him; one attack at the other: 28, 20, 25 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1259792) Damage: 13, 9, 11 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1259795)
NightScreamer20 09-13-07, 01:20 AM	Location: Northern Edge, heading into the Jungle Ray takes the inner spot of the group. He brandishes no weapon, just his necklace which sheds light in a 15 ft. radius from them that cuts through the darkness as if it weren't there. Aye, it's what Kady was attempting herself, however I like 'er scrolls as backups, in case something hapenns to you or me Nedin... Hide From Undead, the dumb ones can't see, hear, hell they can't even smell us. We are as good as ghosts. And even the smart ones well... They may have a ahrd time seeing us as well.
Demonfey 09-13-07, 01:28 AM	Location: Nothern Edge, heading into jungle. So, will usin' heat vision ruin tha', or no?
DragonStrife 09-13-07, 09:34 AM	Location:Off shore near the Ravaged Settlement Needing sometime to think Lurania goes back into her cabin and pulls her chain mail from her bag. Looking over to the corner she wishes she had brought her bow. Sighing, she dons her armor in silence trying to find some sense in this mess of things.
CaptainShar 09-13-07, 10:09 AM	Location: Offshore of the Ravaged Settlement Shar told me that the masks are used to prevent infection and mind-control by the undead. Location: Northern Edge And even the smart ones can't see me! Nedin says as he goes invisible. His voice comes from above Ray's head. But next time tell me what it is before you slap a spell on me. Living with pixies makes you mighty twitchy when someone sneaks up behind you like that.
DragonStrife 09-13-07, 10:17 AM	Location:Off Shore near Ravaged Settlement "Undead with mind-control what mad-brained person created them. Nevermind that, is there any way that a few could be made or any spell that you think might counter act the effects?" She asks, fighting a losing battle with one of the clasps.
Sargatanas 09-13-07, 11:57 AM	Location: In the Jungle (the mighty jungle) Nhyris raises his sword in both bony hands and hacks at the undead attacking him. His great scimitar cutting into the body of the skeletons. When he's brought his sword back around he lunges forward, his mouth opening wide and snapping shut attempting to bite the bony thing. He fails horribly, had he a tongue he would have likely bit it at the moment. Attacks: 21, 17 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1261751) Damages: 14, 16 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1261753) Bite was natural 1
DragonStrife 09-13-07, 12:15 PM	(Hey, Orcy, (or someone who knows) is there anyway for a mask or the equivalent to be made/bought or even found? Thanks!)
CaptainShar 09-13-07, 02:06 PM	Location: Offshore Ravaged Settlement "Shar seemed a bit squeamish on the subject, but I gather that it's pretty hard to make them. That's why she only had four. We'd be a lot closer in if she had enough for the whole crew."
DragonStrife 09-13-07, 02:14 PM	Location: Offshore Ravaged Settlement She sighs and gives up on the snap for the moment. "I am truly sorry if I've sounded rude, but I really need to know as much as possible about these masks, and the jungle otherwise I am just going to hope that prayer and holy water will be enough."
CaptainShar 09-13-07, 02:29 PM	"They weren't aiming to take on the whole jungle just now. They're trying to evacuate as many people from the area as possible. And I'm guessing they've found something that needs a little work at that village in the distance, since they haven't come back yet."
DragonStrife 09-13-07, 03:35 PM	Location: Offshore Ravaged Settlement She looks out to the smudge "That's what I'm afraid of. Did Shar tell you anything about what should happen if they run into trouble over there, anything at all? I don't really know this area to well so anything that you think would be helpful is welcome." She rummages in her pack and pulls out piece of paper quickly she writes: Shar, I'm wondering where you are and what is going on. When you get a chance come to the Blade. Lurania then casts a send spell on the message directing it to Shar.
CaptainShar 09-13-07, 07:48 PM	Location: Offshore Ravaged Settlement "My job is to keep the ship safe. And if she doesn't send word or come back by tomorrow, I might mount a little rescue party. But I wouldn't get too worried." No message comes back. (Seeing as Shar is currently busy dying.) "I'd guess there is something dangerous going on, then. If she didn't take the time to reply."
DragonStrife 09-13-07, 08:01 PM	Location: Offshore Ravaged Settlement "That's what I'm worried about." she sighs"Well, no use worrying about it, I might as well ready myself for anything that may come up. If you need me I'll be in the cabin." she walks of to go commune with her goddess. (I was sort of hoping that one of the others would find it but I'm not sure if the spell works that way. That's all for today.)
Orcy The Green Wonder 09-14-07, 02:41 AM	Location: Ravaged Settlement Kaer-Thok rushes past the skeleton that stands before him, moving around it and ignoring it almost completely. When it strikes at him in the opportunity he give it, he retaliates swiftly, smashing it's undead body with Shar's mace. Making his way toward the doors he looks them over and pounds on them, shouting to those inside. "Open the doors, we have come to help you, I am Kaer-Thok a member of the seafarers guild. Hurry and we shall get you to saftey before more arrive!" Turning on his heel and looking toward the hobgoblin he motions down to the unconcious form of Captain Shar. "Tend to her if you can, I've not skill in healing wounds only causing them." From within the building the sounds of more screams and an angry cry pour out. The sound of hurried movement and the banging and snapping on boards and wood is quite clear as those inside attempt to break down their own protections. Rising above the shouts and movement comes the ring of steel and a loud hacking sound. Another person screams and the movement grows more frantic. Location: In the Jungle (southern section) The large creatures growl in unison at their opponents. The one battling Davar takes a step away from him, content to allow his skeletons to do the fighting for him at the moment. Raising a gauntleted hand he calls forth ice and chill winds, sending a freezing cone out over Davar and those around him, the skeletons apparently unnafected. The other hefts his greataxe and continues to swing at William, bringing to weapon down twice in quick succession. Both blows land with a violent explosion of energy rocking both William's body and the armored creature's as well. William takes 37 damage and 36 damage. Cone of Cold damage: 36 (18 half) Save DC 21 for half (Davar only since everyone else in the range is immune) Location: Northern Edge The light dispells the darkness and the trees themselves seem to shake in the sudden brightness. A few of the mindless skeletons, seeing no prey, turn around and wander back away from the light and into the comforting darkness of the veil around the jungle. Location: Noumenal Blade (Offshore Horchound) Salise stares out at the settlement, angrily but with a longing obvious in her eyes. She continuously paces back and forth on the deck looking out toward the settlement and the smoke rising from it, the rains starting to come close and pour down on the settlement. She frowns but immediately returns to an angry expression. Walking up out of the Captain's cabin, Glenn scratches the top of his helmet with his iron fist. He looks around at the deck and makes a thoughtful noise. "Hello there people, how are you? Good? Thats good. Where's the captain, I've a delivery for her. Unless she's out then I don't have one for her but for whoevers going to sign for it for her so I can say that it was delivered even if not in person. Say, neat rain cloud, I made a device once that creates rain clouds and causes massive storms and a lot of scary things. Don't know why I made it though it really didn't have any use but scaring the neighbor's dogs."
DragonStrife 09-14-07, 06:09 AM	Location:Noumenal Blade (Offshore Horchound) Sighing Lurania comes out of her stupor and goes up on deck to greet them. "I'm sorry, I don't know your name, I'm Lurania Trumblin Cleric of Ehlonna" She says very polite to Salise, then she turns to both of them. "Shar's on the mainland right now, I'm starting to get worried. As much as I love a forest of undeath, I don't think that it would have taken them that long." she looks back out to the cloud."Oh,wait, I have a quick question for you, well two, but that's besides the point, the first is wirther or not you have any masks on, oh say four or five, second is are you willing to go on the mainland with me, and one or two of the crew if they wish, to go find Shar, Kaer-Thok, Alexander, and Brace, the offer stands for both of you." She looks pleased with most likely making a huge mess of things, even though she didn't plan to.
Lady Rolindin 09-14-07, 05:29 PM	Location: Noumental Blade Captain Fi' Rua who is still abourd the blade, says this to Glen, "I think the first officer can sign for Captain Shar, Glen. It would be helpful Glen if any information you have about the masks and why there needed. Lurania first lets find out some things about the masks and then if no moreare aviliable here then a party can be sent ashore with those that would not need the masks." She will look over at her ship, having seen a row boat leave with her 4 warfoged earler going ashore.
DragonStrife 09-14-07, 06:39 PM	Location:On the Blade off shore Lurania looks down and closes her eyes. "I Highly doubt, correct me if I'm wrong Capitan Fi' rua, that any of your war foraged have healing skills or the ablity to turn undead. Though, it would seem like we do need skilled fighters, may I request that they be sent ahead to, in a way, scout out the settlement. I would really like to know what we will be against once there." She looks up her eyes kind and friendly, "Thank you for the help," she turns toward Selise, Glenn and Janine,"All of you."
Demonfey 09-14-07, 10:20 PM	Location: In the Jungle (south) With reflexes that could be out of a martial arts movie, Davar easily dodges the cone of freezing energy sent at him. Reflex: 28 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1266314), no damage thanks to evasion (and to cover this for later) Then, he flips out on the skeletons around him, lashing out at the skeletons near him. KIIIIIII YAI! Attack: 30, 31, 32, 28 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1266343) Damage: 6, 8, 17, 9 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1266351)
Aramar the Black 09-14-07, 11:42 PM	Location: Ravaged Settlement Brace looks at Shar, and tilts his head. After a moment's thought, he walks toward her form, rummaging through his belt. He kneels down and glances over the various cuts on her body. He pulls a large link of chain from his belt and slides it somewhat untenderly into a cut along her side, just under the skin. He then places a hand on her navel and begins to whisper. The contect point glows lightly, and Shar's wounds close themselves and she regains her color. Cure Moderate Wounds: 11 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1266545)
NightScreamer20 09-15-07, 12:07 AM	((For my team I am only the light (in more ways than one)... I don't want to "Take up leadership" its kinda rude haha)) Location: Northern Edge Ray begins walking slowly to the jungle ahead. Nah, just don't blast, chop, smash, slice, hit, swing at, burn, freeze, shock, throttle, charge, or dance with the undead... and we should be fine. Not to mention any other hostile actions that come to mind.
CaptainShar 09-15-07, 12:32 AM	Location: Ravaged Settlement Shar flips to her feet, grasping her fist around the nonexistent mace. A message flutters to the ground. Quickly taking stock of the fallen skeletons and the screams, she writes... (She has 9 hp now, for those of you who are counting.) Location: Offshore Ravaged Settlement Lurania receives the blood-bespattered message: "Anchor Blade close to shore, prepare boats. Withdraw if a leader arrives before us but otherwise expect weak undead. We have survivors." Janine raises the anchor and sails in to shore, and lowers the boats. She also signs for Glenn's items. Location: Northern Edge Nedin amuses himself by becoming visible again and making faces at the undead who wander into the light.
Demonfey 09-15-07, 12:50 AM	Location: Northern Edge Aw... His eyes point down, where they scorch the ground before he dims them further, being little more than embers now. I take it sum'un danced wit' em once? If so, ya gotta give tha whole story.
Lady Rolindin 09-15-07, 04:46 AM	Location off shore of the village "Captian Larania I'm sure that the warforged have reached the shore by now. I do have more than fighters on my crew, if their are undead then they can be dealt with, one way or another." Fi'rua say to her. With that she will give signals towards her ship, while shars ship moves. Captain Fu' rua ship moves alittle colser following suit, a row boat is aslos lowered into the water and makes it way to the blade. Once shars ship stops, Captain Fi' rua will go over by the side and wait to clinb down the scafling rope to the row boat. then will go over to her ship and talk with Juskirk. After that 2 boats make their way towards shore.
DragonStrife 09-15-07, 09:00 AM	Location:In or heading to the Ravaged Settlement Lurania nods her head as she reads Shar's message looking up she says to Capitan Fi' rua, "It would seem as if a cleric is needed, I hope you don't mind if I tag along." with that she climbs down into Fi' rua's boat. (If it's with in reach otherwise she as for a ride asks well.)
CaptainShar 09-15-07, 04:00 PM	Location: Offshore Ravaged Settlement Janine lets Lurania take charge of one of the Noumenal Blade's boats. She turns to Glenn: And what will you give me to keep me from telling Shar you teleported into the Captain's Cabin? I can count the times I've been in her room on my fingers, and I'm her best friend and have sailed with her these twenty years. Location: Northern Edge Well, does one of you two giants mind if I ride in your pack and catch forty winks? I figure if we sleep in shifts we can get farther, and at least one of us will be fresh all the time.
Sargatanas 09-15-07, 04:25 PM	Location: In the Jungle (southern sectrion) William steps away from the armor covered man. Raising his arms and weaving a spell while attempting to avoid his swings. Three balls of lightning appear around him, circling slowly. He immediately raises a finger and sends one ball at the creature and a second at it's brother. Attacks: 27, 20 (ranged touch) SR rolls: 25, 17 Damage: 32, 20 Rolls (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1267453)
DragonStrife 09-15-07, 08:20 PM	(Hey everyone, I planing on making a new character for the Guild house but have her in around the Jungle(as long as that's OK with Orcy as he is the GM). I'm just giving everyone a bit of a heads up for everyone so they aren't surprised.)
Demonfey 09-15-07, 11:36 PM	Location: Northern Edge Gae ahead. He opens his bag.
CaptainShar 09-16-07, 12:16 AM	Location: Northern Edge Nedin settles himself in, mutters a prayer of safe sleeping, and turns himself invisible. Soon little high-pitched snores emanate from the backpack.
Orcy The Green Wonder 09-16-07, 03:11 PM	Location: Offshore Ravaged Settlement Glenn stares blankly at Janine then laughs, leaning back and swinging his metal arms into the air. He smiles and puts an iron limb around her shoulders, walking away from the rest of the people. He glances over his shoulder and then looks back to Janine once hes sure nobody has followed him. "In her room, why, I have no idea what you're talking about. It's not like I teleported into it or have any sort of magical portals on this ship anywhere. Which I don't, I'm just giving an example of course. IF, and thats an if, I had teleported into her room I'd think it might be because it would be a good place to find her. One often finds someone in their room when they're in a relatively small place you see. But, since I was never in her room, I wouldn't know what you're talking about. You see, me angering a client would be a bad business practice so I would never do anything to anger them right? Right." Meanwhile, Salise stares blankly at Lurania as she climbs off the ship. She seems completely confused as to why the woman had adressed her like she was new to the scene. As the boats pull away she curses herself for having not gotten on one and looks toward Janine and the other crewmen of the blade, waiting for them to get boats ready rather impatiently. Location: Ravaged Settlement The doors to the building infront of Kaer-Thok bulge. Pushing forward slightly until they shatter with splinters of wood and metal flying outward. Deflecting a good number of these with Shar's mace, Kaer-Thok spins to look at the others and back into the building's opening. From this opening men and women run madly, fleeing before something unseen. At the front are guardsmen, wearing the colors and symbols of Tyrannor with weapons drawn. Behind them comes one of their own, armored more heavily and carrying a greatsword in two hands. His eyes seem to be trailing blood and he screams madly at the top of his lungs, cutting down anyone that gets in his way with a sadistic grin. Orcy needs initiative from the Settlement team. Location: In the Jungle (Northern Edge) The paladins and their cleric friend make their way into the jungle. The light from Ray's orbs and other magics shines brightly even in the oppresive darkness. It does not however reach high enough to show the natural sun through the black dome's top. As they walk the occasional glimpse is caught of a creature moving off out of the edge of the light. Something shifting in the shadows provided by the same darts back into the darkness. For the most part, it seems, they are being left alone. Location: In the Jungle (southern section) The skeletons slash madly at Davar, one of their number struck down by his swings. Their blades are deflected and dodged by the monk flawlessly, not a single strike getting through to him. William's ball of energy crashes against the creature nearest Davar and disipates harmlessly, the other however shouts in anger as the ball explodes and tears it down. Like their counterparts, the skeletons attacking William and Nhyris fail to do any good for their side of the fight. Location: OOC Lounge (sorry, there was a theme going here) Orcy isn't sure what your character is going to be Dragon Strife. But Orcy would like to be informed of what it is and why it may be in the jungle. He's had this discussion with a few other players as well who have shown up at the Jungle and would like to see why your character is going to be there.
CaptainShar 09-16-07, 03:31 PM	Location: Ravaged Settlement Shar, understandably, is a tad slower after the near brush with death. Initiative: Initiative (1d20+5=8) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1269354) Location: Offshore Ravaged Settlement Uh huh. And what are you going to give me to keep me from telling her? Janine waves Salise into the other boat, along with the Second mate and one of the fighters.
Orcy The Green Wonder 09-16-07, 04:09 PM	Location: Offshore Ravaged Settlement Glenn stares at her for a moment, leaning back and placing a metal hand over the mouth plate of his helmet. He gasps as if shocked. "My dear, do you mean to tell me that you intend to blackmail and otherwise attempt to persuade me to give you something for this? You intend, that I should give you a token, or perhaps a discout, becase of such a thing? Why, I've never had someone try and take money from me before in such a way, I must say it is quite insulting! Why, I, the Lord of Glenndria, the master of Effigies, the lord of the smithy, the undsiputed champion of all this constructed and bulilt am offended!"
CaptainShar 09-16-07, 04:29 PM	Location: Offshore Ravaged Settlement You know, perhaps it would be better if I just told her how rude you are and to take her business elsewhere. You should have seen the time she found out the Lord of Lennaws's steward - the Lord was her second husband - had actually found her ship again but didn't tell her because he thought she'd be happier staying with Lennaws. She had been friendly with the steward before that. She doesn't like it when people intrude. And she doesn't like it when people don't tell her things.
Orcy The Green Wonder 09-16-07, 04:39 PM	Location: Offshore Ravaged Settlement Glenn tilts his helmed head to the side and rubs the metal plate near the chin. He shakes his head and shrugs his metal shoulders. "Nope, can't say I know any of those names. But it would be a very bad thing if you were to go tell her to take her business elsewhere. I'm not rude at all, at least I don't think I am. But honestly how am I supposed to know nobody is allowed in there? Its her room, its the most likely place to find her, why not go there? But, if you insist on going to her and telling her all this then I suppose I don't have much choice in stopping you now do I? I mean, I could, but that just wouldn't be nice."
CaptainShar 09-16-07, 04:52 PM	Location: Offshore Ravaged Settlement Look. I thought you had quite a bit of intelligence. And if you think about it for just a moment, you might realize that the Captain would be on deck sailing the ship far more than she would be hanging about inside. Also, you might recall that she doesn't like it when people board any area of her ship without notification - though I imagine she asked you to deliver these items, I highly doubt she specified that you come to the Captain's Cabin. Third, on a ship you don't get much privacy, so any violation thereof is considered an extreme offense. So that pretty well kills your excuse; but, if you want to prove me wrong about you, tell her yourself. Then I won't. Janine nods curtly and turns to watching the progress of the boats.
Aramar the Black 09-16-07, 07:43 PM	Location: Ravaged Settlement Brace mutter a few colorful phrases as he puts away his quarterstaff and reaches for the bag at his side. Initiative: 17 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1269755)
NightScreamer20 09-17-07, 12:02 AM	Location: Northern Edge Ray looks around at the Darkness. He stops and puts his hand out. Wait a second my friends... Do you mind if I attempt an experiment while we are here? It will put you in no harm, you have my word.
Demonfey 09-17-07, 12:49 AM	Location: Northern edge Gae ahead.
Orcy The Green Wonder 09-17-07, 01:20 AM	Location: Offshore Ravaged Settlement The gems over Glenn's eyes flash brightly and he folds his metal arms over his chest. "How dare you insult my intelligence when evidence of it is all around Tyrannor. Warriors weild my equipment, mages wear my protection, a city flys by my intelligence, MY strength. Why... I've never been so angry! I could destroy you with the wave of my hand you... you... you insolent little girl! Why... fine! Make your own masks! That is... if you can." Glenn waves his iron arm through the air and vanishes in a burst of fancifully colored smoke. ((Initiative Order: Kaer-Thok, Madman, Brace, Shar. Orcy will post round one tomorrow morning when hes less sleepy))
Orcy The Green Wonder 09-17-07, 01:41 PM	Location: Ravaged Settlement Kaer-Thok curses and looks around, tossing Shar's mace back toward her while extending his hand. His blade shakes a bit in the ground and lifts out, flying back to his hand. He then spins back toward the madman and lowers himself into a defensive crouch. Pausing for a moment in the doorway, the large man points his sword at Kaer-Thok and screams loudly. "YOU! YOU'RE MINE!" He hefts his sword and roars again, moving swiftly over the grounds despite his heavy armor and charging forward toward Kaer-Thok. He swings the blade around in a heavy slash. His blade is barely parried by Kaer-Thok's, turned aside just in time.
DragonStrife 09-17-07, 02:44 PM	Location: Ravaged Settlement Lurania hops of the ship and looks around. Cursing under her breath she draws her sword and readies her self. Rushing toward where Kaer-Thok is fighting. Seeing as he looks like he can handle on his own, she enters the building that the man came out off sword ready. (I'm not sure if this is the right place for this but oh well. My planed character is going to be (if she passes) a evil rouge 7/Shadow Dancer 8 or just a rouge if no prestige classes are allowed. I'm mainly making her to gain some experience in running an evil character given I'm creating a campaign in which I'm the GM. Also, she is going to be in the Jungle because that's where most people are and will move around. Though she gets there via a messed up teleport spell scroll.)
Lady Rolindin 09-17-07, 04:01 PM	location : the shore by the village Juskirk has the boats pulled on the shore, he looks around to see who is there. Once he's thinks it's safe he'll leave 4 of the crew to the boats. The boats the warforged were in are there. Go look ahead to see if he can spot the village from where he is. Not knowing if the masks are something that will help or not he'll have the crews wait. The warforged tracks (most proubaly can be seen), lead off toward the village. Now the warfrged should be close to the village, depnding on how far the walk is.
Aramar the Black 09-17-07, 10:54 PM	Location: Ravaged Settlement Brace pulls a giant falchion out of his bag, removing its sheath to reveal razor-sharp serrations on the cutting edge. He moves up towards Kaer-Thok and the madman, staying barely outside the latter's reach
Sargatanas 09-18-07, 01:35 AM	Location: In the Jungle (Southern section) Sargatanas looks over his shoulder remembering his archers. Raising his hand he points toward the remaining large figure and another volley of arrows descends upon him. Sargatanas himself hangs back and lets his minons handle the battle. He takes a blade from in his hair and runs it underneath a fingernail, cleaning the gunk out from beneath it while humming a tune quietly. Attack: 29(hit square) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1271915) Damage: 56 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1271917) (Ref 16 for half) (This was the turn Orcy skipped on me... think that was an accident but I don't know) Nhyris swings his sword at one of the skeletons. Hacking at it with his blade and biting at it with his powerful snake-head jaws. A pair of serpent like limbs extending from his sides rise up and bite out at the same skeleton, their small fangs attempting to sink into it's bones. Attacks: 28, 24, 28, 16, 23 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1271950) Damages: 17, 17, 12 (2 of it cold), 7 (2 cold), 9 (2 cold) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1271963)
NightScreamer20 09-18-07, 10:14 AM	Location: Northern Jungle Ray takes a deep breath and concentrates, then exhaling slowly he spreads his arms and his radiance explodes through the darkness. Darkness... Be gone! Light expands to a 240 ft. radius
Orcy The Green Wonder 09-18-07, 03:09 PM	Location: In the Jungle (southern section) The last of the large armored men falls. Collapsing to the ground in a heap of metal and dead flesh. His body is pierced by many an arrow and the ground around him is covered with them. Nhyris' attacks strike down one of the skeletons, sending to to it's death in a heap beneath him. Armored foes are dead, William is up. Location: Northern Jungle The light moves quickly and covers the distance almost as fast as Ray acts. Revealed by the light are many many skeletons and zombies. A few shambling about aimlessly. With the pushing of his light a good half of them stop and look around as if confused. His light even reveals a few large monstrosities of necromancy. One of which stands at about twenty feet in height, it's leathery body covered with pus-filled sores and surrounded by insects. It screeches angrily at the light and looks around for the source. Location: Shoreline Ravaged Settlement The boats with Juskirk and the others reach the shore without trouble. In the distance on the horizon they can make out the settlement and the rain just begining to fall on it. The warforged are just reaching it now. Lunaria is not close enough to the settlement to take the actions listed. It is not on the shoreline and still a distance away. As for the character, the jungle would be a good place for an evil one... but the necromantic blight that infects it would still harm her. Orcy would like to limit the number of people in the jungle here since it is not the only part of the game. But everyone seems to wish to have a part of it (indeed, thats what the masks were supposed to help with, but others have decided to enter without them).
Demonfey 09-18-07, 05:08 PM	Location: Northern Edge So, if'n it comes to a fight, how many o' tha small guys can ye take oot whilst I distract yon giant brutes? He pokes Nedin awake.
CaptainShar 09-18-07, 06:14 PM	Location: Ravaged Settlement Shar catches the mace by second nature. She looks grimly at the man who spilled the blood they were trying to save. All right, don't die, she mutters to herself. Once more. She grips the mace and starts at a run to the man, smashing him with its Disruptive power and then darting past to face him again. Spring attack (light mace) (1d20+19=34) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1273140) Light Mace damage (1d6+2=7) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1274865) DC 14 Will Save. Location: Forest, North Ahh, can't you see you got your finger in my ear? Oh wait, you can't. Hmm, let's see...how 'bout I alternate between going visible and shooting five at a time so they gather around, and then exploding 'em once they bunch up near me? So I think I could do about...three hundred a minute? Although after the first minute I'd be running low on turning spells.
Lady Rolindin 09-19-07, 02:17 AM	location: the shorew bt the village Juskirk and the otherswill stay there by the boats while the boats have the 4 guards not far away. The warforged should have reached the village gates by now, (if I remember right they have some damage to them), they will go through and into the village. They will look around, seeing the damage to the village then.
NightScreamer20 09-19-07, 02:39 AM	Location: Northern Jungle Ray's face turns into a grimace. This... this.. place. It churns my very soul. It must be cleansed... for PELOR! He clenches the Shard of the Sun in his hand as it pulses with light and thrusting his fist into the air his ring shimmers and his body is encased in armor, shield readied in hand. His armor and shield all pulsing with a radiance not of this plane. He begins to walk toward the monstrosity. Are ye ready friends? Just say when, and these abominations will scatter like leaves in a storm...
CaptainShar 09-19-07, 11:12 AM	Location Jungle, North By the strength of Kord, no more skulking through the shadows! Nedin, in a burst of green and gold, moves forty feet away from Ray and fits an arrow to his string, hovering fifteen feet up in the air. (Hey Orcy, was that enough rest to replenish his healing and spells, or no? And do you want initiative?)
NightScreamer20 09-19-07, 03:59 PM	((Initiative for what? We have yet to actually attack them... most of them still cannot hear nor see us except notive it got a tad brighter outside...))
Demonfey 09-19-07, 09:51 PM	Location Jungle (North) Korrae quickly switches to his warpike, his eyes blazing with joy at the thought of an oncoming fight. Arright! Flying above the larger horde of undead, he charges one of the giants. SENIIL LIMNA!
Sargatanas 09-20-07, 12:08 PM	Location: In the Jungle (southern section) William hefts his greatsword and looks over the skeletons on the battlefield. He pulls back and swings the sword around his head a few times before hurling it across the field. The blade spins through the air slicing and slashing into everything it passes, whirling around and then flying into the air and returning to William's hand. Attack: 29 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1277132) Damage: 23 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1277133)
Orcy The Green Wonder 09-20-07, 01:27 PM	Location: Ravaged Settlement Kaer-Thok spins his sword around, thrusting repeatedly at the madman. His sword pierces into the man's flesh twice out of his three thrusts and draws blood. The sword flashes red and absorbs the blood from the man's wound, brining a somewhat confused look to Kaer-Thok's face. "Might want to switch styles Shar... this one is still alive." The man roars, stepping to the side and swinging his blade once at Kaer-Thok and twice at Brace. His eyes burn brightly with a madness that drives him on, ignoring the wounds from Kaer-Thok's blade and slashing wildly. He roars and grunts with each movment, a low, constant laugh coming from the back of his throat in between grunts. "So... many... VICTIMS! Come here little girl... come play!" Kaer-Thok does 38 damage and 2 con. Brace takes 25 damage and 44 damage (one crit). Kaer-Thok's retaliatory strike deals 52 damage and 1 con. Location: Jungle (Northern) The massive beast turns it's dead eyes toward Korraemus and roars loudly. A number of undead gather and begin to approach it. Meanwhile it's growl echoes through the forest. (You can roll initiative if you'd like, the creature is about 200ft away right now. But all the screaming and yelling has drawn it's attention... and it made it's save... so yes actually, initiative may help.)
Aramar the Black 09-20-07, 01:52 PM	Location: Ravaged Settlement Falling to his kness, Brace cries out once more. "Chains take us all!" His eye closes and he slumps to the ground. Stabalize check: 6 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1277292)
Kady_Small 09-20-07, 03:47 PM	Location: Jungle (Northern) Initiative (1d20+6=23) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1277392) "Careful!" Kady warns. "When we attack the big guys, all the others'll know where we are, too!" Kady says something to the big yellow dog she's riding. The language sounds like barks and growls, but her partner evidently understands what she means. He lifts his lip in a snarl of agreement and begins running towards the battle. ((Double move, 80 ft.)) As the dog begins moving, Kady touches her holy symbol with the tip of a finger and recites a short prayer. A blue light ripples over her and the dog, then dissipates. ((Protection from Evil.)) Concentration DC 10: Moving mount (1d20+8=16) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1277414) That done, Kady draws her rapier and prepares to engage the enemy.
Demonfey 09-20-07, 04:32 PM	Location: Jungle (north) Initiative: 16 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1277505) Flying charge, to 20 ft off the ground and 80 ft closer to the giant undead.
CaptainShar 09-20-07, 04:55 PM	Location: Ravaged Settlement Madness. Shar's voice is bitter as she quickly tosses the mace to her off hand and draws the rapier. She rushes past the man and gives him one stab, as before. Attack keen rapier (1d20+19=26) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1277522) Damage (1d6+2 Piercing, 1d6 Cold): rapier damage (2d6+2=11) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1277524) (What are you at, Aramar?) Location: Jungle (north) Initiative (1d20+9=11) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1277526) (Orcy, I need to know about those spells. He would prepare a tailored selection for today; if he still has yesterday's, they'd be the typical ones listed on his character sheet.)
Gulien 09-20-07, 06:06 PM	Location:Southern Edge descending from the mountains Finding nothing of interest in the general area Gorda returns to the package he hid in the woods and, after switching to his humanoid form, retrieves it from the alcove in the roots where it had laid hidden. Hefting it again with little effort he places the straps around his shoulders and decides to widen his hunt. Taking up a quick pace his untiring legs begin to blur as he travels north. Running
NightScreamer20 09-20-07, 06:59 PM	Location: Jungle (North) Ray prepares for the fight... Initiative (Northern Horchound) (1d20+1=16) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1277708)
Aramar the Black 09-20-07, 11:27 PM	(What are you at, Aramar?) Brace, you mean? Just outside the hut, at the feet of teh madman, as of this last round.
Orcy The Green Wonder 09-21-07, 02:09 PM	Location: Ravaged Settlement Kaer-Thok spins around, stabbing at the madman with his blade. He thrusts into the man's abdomen a few times and draws yet more blood from him. Spinning his blade around quickly he brings it backwards and drops into his typical stance, watching the man carefully. The madman raises his sword into the air, roaring with clear insanity. He brings his sword down but cannot follow through with the attack and collapses to the ground instead. Location: In the Jungle (North) The creature growls and roars loudly, taking a step toward the group of approaching paladins. Order: Kady, Korraemus, Ray, Undead, Nedin Since Kady and Korraemus have both already taken a turn before everyone had rolled initiative... Ray is up. Location: In the Jungle (southern section) Davar is up... (william just went).
CaptainShar 09-21-07, 02:22 PM	Location: Ravaged Settlement Shar shouts out to the assembled people: All right everybody! March to the coast, on the double! Now! She pauses to bend over Brace and restore him to consciousness. CLW (1d8+4=9) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1279259) She gives him a hand up.Thanks for helping out, stranger. She binds the madman quickly Use Rope (1d20+9=28) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1279254) and gags him, then heals him as well. CLW (1d8+4=8) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1279257) She whistles the carpet down and lets Alexander dismount. She stands on it herself and sets herself at the head of the troop, at a fast walking pace.
Orcy The Green Wonder 09-21-07, 02:42 PM	Location: Ravaged Settlement The man immediately begins to struggle as soon as he is healed. He pulls and tugs against the ropes and almost immediately his muscles bulge and cause the ropes to burst apart. Kaer-Thok reacts quickly and drives his foot into the man's head. The man screams in anger but his eyes go dim and he collapses again to the ground. The others quickly begin to make their way toward the shore at Shar's urging. Fleeing from the settlement while the undead are absent from sight. All of them look around warily as they move, terror rather plain on their faces. Kaer-Thok meanwhile trys to drag the heavy madman and the thick metal armor.
Demonfey 09-21-07, 03:10 PM	Location: Jungle (South) Still stuck in the group of skeletons, Davar lashes out at the nearby enemies, before asking for something abnormal. Mind dropping a fireball on my position? Otherwise, this's going to take all day... Attacks: 19, 22 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1279333)
Orcy The Green Wonder 09-21-07, 03:41 PM	((Psst... does davar have damage to go with those attacks?))
Sargatanas 09-21-07, 03:46 PM	Location: In the Jungle (south) Sargatanas stares blankly at Davar for a moment. Just a moment however, he shrugs and flings a fireball directly into the center of Davar's position. Allowing it to explode and wash over everything around him and a number of the other skeletons as well. He motions to the archers to fire on the remaining skeletons or skeleton depending on the effectiveness of his fireball. Fireball: 35 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1279380) (ref 20 half) Arrow Volley: 21 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1279396) Arrow Volley damage: 46 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1279398) (ref 16 half)
Demonfey 09-21-07, 04:03 PM	(Oops.:embarrass ) Location: Jungle (South) Damage: 7, 6 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1279406) Reflex: ...16 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1279409) Being bogged down by some of the skeletons, Davar's normally impossibly fast reflexes fail him. However, he still manages to avoid more than normal, non-monk opponents would, and his devil blood further dampens the effects. (12 damage taken.)
Orcy The Green Wonder 09-21-07, 04:12 PM	Location: In the Jungle (south) The remaining skeletons slash at their nearest foes. Most failing to hit anything more than the air around davar. The single skeleton left near Nhyris however manages to bounce it's blade off his boney hide. It does nothing against his hardnened bones.
CaptainShar 09-21-07, 04:28 PM	Location: Shore You managing there, Kaer-Thok?
Sargatanas 09-21-07, 04:34 PM	Location: In the Jungle (south) Nhyris lashes out at the offending skeleton, biting and slashing like he had against the one before. The snake-like arms below his snaping their jaws down on bone and his blade cutting in swiftly. Attacks: 38, 31, 16, 17, 20 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1279416) Damage: 15, 15, 9, 6, 6 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1279418) William raises his greatsword, charging across the open groun and bringing the blade around to swing at one of the remaining skeletons. His blade cleaving into the boney body of the skeleton near Nhyris. Attack: 34 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1279422) Damage: 23 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1279422)
Lady Rolindin 09-21-07, 05:04 PM	location the village I do think the warforged would have found their way around the village gates and into the village and been looking around. How long till they spot the villagers and shar, and Kaer-Thok. They sohould be close by now, maybe.
NightScreamer20 09-23-07, 02:55 AM	((Sorry I read that wrong I was waiting for Kady and Kor haha)) Ray moves 20 ft towards the beast, aiming his Shard of the Sun towards him and letting loose a beam of pure sunlight. Touch Attack vs Undead thing... (1d20+10=20) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1282120) 24 Damage (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1282123) ((If there are other Undead I would make 3 more attacks around him but... until specified that's my turn))
Orcy The Green Wonder 09-23-07, 02:15 PM	Location: Ravaged Settlement Kaer-Thok gives a slight nod, dragging the heavy man along behind him. The others come upon the group of warforged and mostly ignore them in their move to flee the settlement. Alexander walks among the people looking them over and directing certain ones toward a specific grouping. Most of these look sickly or have some sort of dark wound. Location: Northern Jungle The larger monstrosity roars angrily, making it's way toward the paladins swiftly. It slows itself long enough to focus, it's body twitches and one of it's sores pulses. Pushing hard the sore rips open and insects pour out of the opening. The swarm turns as one toward the approaching paladins and begins to beat it's many wings, moving toward them quickly. Location: In the Jungle (southern section) The skeletons slash with their blades at Davar and william. All three skeleton's blades are deflected or dodged by Davar. The fourth skeleton's slash cuts into William. William takes 6 damage.
CaptainShar 09-23-07, 04:36 PM	Location: Shore Shar keeps the people in Alexander's groups and starts sending them to the Noumenal Blade in the ships' boats. She sends one of her sailor/fighters in every boat to make sure it's steered properly. She keeps all the skilled fighters - Lurania, Salise, Fi'rua's group - on shore for the moment to cover the retreat. If I guess aright, you're a skilled healer, Lurania. We could use some patching up. But before you start on our honest wounds, we should check all the villagers, to make sure all of them can last the trip back without permanent damage from that curse. Finally getting a chance to look herself over, Shar notices the chunk of metal in her skin. What's this? Did I fall on a metal chain or something when I blacked out back there? Location: Jungle, North Ugh, that does not look like fun. Abandoning his original plan, Nedin goes invisible and lets loose with a volley, sending the first arrow with an extra burst of holy power. Five arrows suddenly appear in the air, bursting into flame and a heavenly glow, and speeding towards the giant. First arrow (with Smite Evil) (1d20+27=48) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1282808) Second and third arrows (1d20+20=39, 1d20+20=23) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1282812)(Nat 1) Fourth arrow (1d20+15=27) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1282816) Fifth arrow (1d20+10=14) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1282820) (I added 2 to all of them afterwards for invisibility.) Damage: 1d6 piercing, 1d6 fire, 2d6 Holy (4d6+1=15, 4d6+1=14, 4d6+1=15) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1282822) First: 5 pierce/6 fire/4 holy + 11 from the Smite Second: 2 pierce/4 fire/8 holy Fourth: 5 pierce/6 fire/4 holy
Aramar the Black 09-23-07, 05:18 PM	Location: Shore Brace busies himself with putting away his falchion and looking over his wounds. He speaks at Shar with an almost off-hand manner. "No. You have been marked by the Chained Gods."
CaptainShar 09-23-07, 05:24 PM	Location: Shore Shar sees the next wave of boats out, then stands next to Brace. Oh really? How, when, and what for? And how do you know? Are they your gods? And why wasn't I consulted?
Aramar the Black 09-23-07, 05:37 PM	Location: Shore Brace looks up from his wounds and gives Shar a look that seems to imply a mix of disdain and pity. "How? Through their vassals. When? When your body fell towards death and your soul cried for life. What for? So that you may never forget your debts and never take for granted the aid of the gods. How do I know? My people are the vassals of the Chained Ones. A mark such as yours in well understood." At these last words he turns away again, watching the waters and the movements of the people towards the ships.
CaptainShar 09-23-07, 05:50 PM	Location: Shore Shar rubs her thumb over the metal embedded in her skin. She gives Brace an appraising look. Now that's very pretty religious talk, but what it really means is that you decided that you could stick this in me because you slapped a tiny healing spell on me during the heat of battle? That's just good tactics, man. I did the same for you. And this thing is remarkably ugly. She concentrates, and a blur emanates from her ring and makes the flesh appear pure again.
Aramar the Black 09-23-07, 07:29 PM	Location: Shore Brace replies while continuing to look away towards the water. "Your mind is narrow, human." he says as he slowly shakes his head. "Small as the spell may have been, it did more than close the cuts you had received. It saved your life. And for such was I punished. And it does not matter what you did for me. The punishment remains, and the outcome would have been little different." He look at Shar, and the place where the link once stood out. "Try as you might, you cannot fool yourself."
CaptainShar 09-23-07, 08:07 PM	Location: Shore Oh, a death god. Hmm. Well. I guess he can look me up if he's interested - I've escaped death by a rope's thickness many a time. She finishes herding the people into the boats and flies over the waves to her ship.
Aramar the Black 09-23-07, 08:27 PM	Location: Shore As Brace climbs into the last boat to leave, he chuckles to himself, groping around his bag and shaking his head once more.
CaptainShar 09-23-07, 11:42 PM	Location: Noumenal Blade As Brace climbs over the bulwark, Shar meets him and looks him in the eye. If saving a life gives one a claim on another, forget not that I saved your life as well. She turns to go back to her duties, then calls over her shoulder - And I killed quite a few more of those skeletons than you did.
Orcy The Green Wonder 09-24-07, 12:59 AM	Kaer-Thok clears his throat and looks over Brace and Shar. He rests his hands on his hips, one near his rapier and raises an eyebrow. "And I killed their leader, a good number of them did a fair bit to knock out a madman. Now, if we would like to keep talking about how the other one is inferior because you BOTH nearly died today, I'd be happy to knock you both into tomorrow and let the gods decide who lives. Otherwise, we've got a ride on a ship and I do not feel like listening to the bickering the whole way. So if you would both not mind too terribly-" Salise butts in as Kaer-Thok speaks and finishes the words for him. "Shut up." She glares a little at both of them and then at Kaer-Thok as well. Folding her arms over her chest she appraises him slowly. "So you ran off and had all that fun without me? Coulda brought me instead of the kid, I'd be a lot more useful. But no, you left me to sit on a boat with bossy women and the crazy metal merchant bickering like children."
CaptainShar 09-24-07, 01:08 AM	Location: Noumenal Blade Weigh anchor! We sail to Tyrannor! Shar gets the ship under weigh and has her first and second mates perform a more careful examination of the villagers.
Orcy The Green Wonder 09-24-07, 01:38 AM	Kaer-Thok and Salise head toward the side of the ship talking quietly. He smiles at her as he removes the mask he was given to protect from the blight. "Well my dear, I am sure you would have done wonders for us and been magnificent. But we did not have enough masks and the boy knows the people. Besides... as you heard from their argument two of our number nearly died. Had you fallen I might have just struck every one down in a fit of blind rage. Which would have been a bit counter-productive." Salise purses her lips looking toward Kaer-Thok. She lifts an eyebrow just slightly and shifts back and forth in a slow manner. She lets her lips curve into a hint of a smile. "Well... I'm not that easy. But I do like the idea of you avenging me by taking out everything in a mile radius..."
CaptainShar 09-24-07, 02:00 AM	Location: Noumenal Blade Shar spends her time sailing, mending, and healing (asking for Lurania's help but not Brace's). She also gives Janine a good talking-to (privately) about Glenn.
Lady Rolindin 09-24-07, 04:11 AM	The warfoged at least one of them would have offered to carry the man for Kear-Thok. If he still wanted to drag the man then ok. They would go with the group back to the beach. At the beach when they arrived Juskirk would have the villagers out into the boats, with atleast one guard minnon. Maybe two. Once they have all gone back to the ship, the villagers on the ship will be put together and the priest will use some healing spells to help some of the worst. Once The blade is moving the Raven's Song will weigh anchor and follw Shae's ship. If any of the villager;s do get the madness they will be put in irons. Question Shar and Orcy did you want the list of Herbs for ad&d, the hall of refuge I think would have people who would know the right herbs to use for what.
CaptainShar 09-24-07, 11:03 AM	Location: Noumenal Blade Shar thanks Fi'Rua for her thoughtfulness, but absolutely prevents her from healing any of the villagers who have been cursed. It just makes them worse, Fi'Rua. Shar clears her throat next to Kaer-Thok and Salise. If you want to be useful, Salise, you could use some of your manacles on this man. Prevent him from hurting himself and others. He's completely insane. They are about halfway back to the city now.
Aramar the Black 09-24-07, 11:30 AM	Location: Noumenal Blade Brace spends his time alone in prayer, occasionally digging through his bag or attending to his wounds.
Sargatanas 09-24-07, 01:36 PM	Location: In the Jungle (South) Sargatanas lifts a hand with little interest and sends a few bolts of magic at the far skeleton. Pointing toward the closest of the and nodding toward the archers. He leans back and yawns, waving a hand toward the others a bit annoyedly. Arrows raining down from the sky as he speaks. "Hurry this up." Magic Missile: 15 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1284167) Arrow Volley: 19 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1284198) Volley Damage: 50 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1284198) Miss Square: 7 (empty) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1284207) Nhyris goes through his normal routine of attacks, biting, slashing and biting again. His jaws and blade moving quickly while the snake arms at his sides snap and bite out at bones, trying to break the skeleton that is still putting up a fight and end this battle. Attacks: 28, 23, 27, 31, 20 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1284211) Damage: 17, 19, 8, 6, 4 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1284215) William moves around Nhyris as the skeleton collapses to the ground. He brings his sword up and slashes down at one of the two remaining skeletons quickly with powerful blows. Attempting to break it in half. The blow lands and sunders the skeleton's body and sends it crashing to the ground in a heap. Sargatanas claps and nods to the remaining skeleton with glee. Attack: 32 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1284227) Damage: 30 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1284229)
DragonStrife 09-24-07, 04:46 PM	Location: The Blade Lurania nods and goes about healing the most critically wounded or unconscious survivors. She then goes about to the reaming people and uses her healing kit (given she is most likely nearly out of spells by now) and helps dress the wounds. "Pardon, I'm sorry if I'm interrupting but would you mind to taribly much if you chain that person," she nod toward the mad-man "up, I'll try to get what information I can from the others to see why he has taken such a dislike to Kaer-Thok. I don't think that Capitan Shar would like random people attacking other aboard her ship." she asks of a near by sailor.
Orcy The Green Wonder 09-25-07, 03:54 PM	((Since Kady hasn't posted for the past two days its Korraemus' turn in the paladin group. It also happens to be Davar's turn in the undead group. Orcy thought people would keep track of their own locations in initiative but it appears he was wrong so He'll have to post whos up next when he updates things.))
Demonfey 09-25-07, 04:33 PM	(Sorry, I forgot after having to deal with some other stuff. I'll post later today.)
Kady_Small 09-25-07, 08:07 PM	((I posted my action already, when I posted my initiative. Double move and cast Protection from Evil on self and mount.))
Demonfey 09-25-07, 11:16 PM	Location: Jungle (North) Korraemus flies to the side of the swarm, nearing the giant undead, but not quite in reach yet. (20 to the right, 80 more towards the giant.) Location: Jungle (South) Davar pummels the undead near him again. Attacks: 26, 20, 37, 22 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1286613) Damage: 13, 15, 17, 11 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1286619)
NightScreamer20 09-26-07, 01:46 AM	Location: Northern Jungle Ray closes in slightly more, concentrating on getting within close of the creature. Double move; 40 ft forward.
Eglentyne 09-26-07, 08:58 AM	Brensas wounder what wrong with the one who come on ship, they not look good. He go ask some ones who bring them back on the boats.
CaptainShar 09-26-07, 01:07 PM	Location: Noumenal Blade The port of Tyrannor is in view. Thanks for the help and the company, everyone. I will hold a meeting at the Guild House here at this time tomorrow for any who wish to go back to fight the undead. For now, I'm going to see about helping these people.
DragonStrife 09-26-07, 02:51 PM	location: Noumenal Blade Lurania nods her head and looks out toward port.
Orcy The Green Wonder 09-26-07, 04:05 PM	Location: In the Junlge (south) Davar's attack crack ribs and break bones, shattering the already damaged skeleton nearby. The final one collapses to the ground in a heap and offers no more resistance. ==END COMBAT== Location: In the Jungle (north) The insects emit a loud buzzing noise as they swarm down on Korraemus. They bite and nip at his body as soon as they come into contact with him, many creatures tearing at his exposed flesh. The huge undead monstrosity moves forward, stretching out it's body and snapping at Korraemus with it's twisted sharp teeth. Korraemus takes 10 damage and gains 1 negative level. Korraemus takes 18 damage and needs to make a fort save (DC 19 (poison)). Failure against poison save = 6 strength damage. Nedin is up, then Kady, Korraemus, and Ray.
Demonfey 09-27-07, 12:28 AM	Fort save: 35 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1288260)
Sargatanas 09-27-07, 12:38 PM	Location: In the Jungle (south) Sargatanas claps his hands together as if dusting them off and heads toward the rest of the group. The endless grin on his face is brightened slightly by the curvature of his cheeks. He gives a nod to the others in his group, looking at the corpses and giving the larger of the creatures a kick. "Well boys, not bad, not bad. Could have used these things if they weren't so stupid but looks like I'll have to... not now. Anybody hurt badly enough as to be useless to me?"
CaptainShar 09-27-07, 06:50 PM	Location: Jungle, North Nedin shifts invisibly to the side and again releases a full volley at the giant. Attacks: First arrow (Smite Evil) (1d20+29=36) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1289353) Second and third arrows (1d20+22=28, 1d20+22=37) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1289373) Fourth arrow (1d20+17=19) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1289377) Fifth arrow (1d20+12=26) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1289382) Damage: Damage: pierce/flame/holy (4d6+1=13, 4d6+1=11, 4d6+1=14, 4d6+1=20, 4d6+1=11) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1289393) Piercing: 5, 2, 4, 7, 4 Flaming: 1, 1, 3, 6, 1 Holy: 7+11 (Smite Evil), 8, 7, 7, 6 (Can we shoot at individual bugs in the swarm?)
Kady_Small 09-27-07, 11:44 PM	((I think these are too small to be hurt by weapons at all; but elemental damage from a weapon will still hurt it. Anybody have area of effect spells or effects?)) Kady closes the distance to the monster, trying to avoid the swarm as she grabs a wand from her backpack. The big dog shimmers out and reappears on the other side of the monster, leaving Kady hanging in midair. She drops to the ground, landing on her feet. Tumble (1d20+17=36) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1289831) ((Anyone on the opposite side of my mount now has +2 for flanking.)) Kady orders the dog to protect itself. ((Total Defense, AC +4))
Kady_Small 09-28-07, 12:04 AM	((Before I do this: Knowledge Religion to tell me whether this creature is really undead! Just in case: Knowledge: Religion (1d20+10=18) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1289925))) Concentrating briefly, Kady activates the wand in her hand... Use Magic Device (1d20+19=26) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1289918) ...and reaches out to touch the big creature. Touch (1d20+20=24) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1289927) Cure Critical Wounds, Save DC 16 for half (4d8+7=17) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1289929)
Sargatanas 09-28-07, 12:03 PM	Location: In the Jungle (south) Sargatanas glances between the uninjured Nhyris and over toward William. William's wounds are healing themselves nicely so he shifts his gaze to the silent Davar and shrugs, waving a hand. "Loot em and lets get goin!"
Orcy The Green Wonder 09-28-07, 04:54 PM	((Orcy is slightly confused Kady. You double move to reach the creature then your dog dimension doors and you use a wand after drawing it. It may just be him but that appears to be too many actions))
Kady_Small 09-28-07, 11:12 PM	((I thought I was within 30 feet now; but if it requires a double move to get to the creature, then I'll do that, drawing the wand while the dog moves. The dimension-door and attack can be next round.))
Demonfey 09-29-07, 10:29 AM	Location: Jungle (south) The reason Davar is silent is due to a small meditation, as he clears his mind. The effects of it are soon apparent, as the wounds he had taken begin to force themselves to heal. (healing 19 damage, back to full) Then, he begins helping with the looting.
Demonfey 09-29-07, 03:48 PM	Location: Jungle (north) In the midst of a swarm, and being attacked by lots of bugs, Korraemus activates his most defensive ability, his flesh glowing with heat, as his eyes begin emitting rays. He then begins to hack at the large beast. Attacks: 33, 37, 19 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1291559) Damage: 25, 21, 24, unless creature is lawful. (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1291565) All things attacking me in melee currently get hit for 1d6 points of fire damage -1 hp/round for having activated the incendiary skin ability. 5 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1291570) fire damage to creature within 30 feet (heat vision).
NightScreamer20 10-01-07, 02:31 AM	Location: Northern Jungle Ray hustles ahead still glowing furiously. - Another double move towards the beast.
Orcy The Green Wonder 10-02-07, 02:08 AM	Location: In the Jungle (north) Many of the wounds recently delt by Korraemus simply close themselves back up. It roars and bends it's head low again, biting out at Korraemus as the swarm nips and claws at his body, a few of the small insects not escaping the flames, though many do. The creature's jaws clamp down on Korraemus' lightly armored form and tear into flesh. The bulky creature then rises up on it's hind legs and slams down it's forefeet attempting to stomp on the paladin as well. Both of it's mightly legs slam down onto his body. A pair of lashing tentacles swing out from the thing's body and strike out at Kaddy when she comes into it's range. Only one of them strikes her, it's rotting pus-covered surface excreting it's poison as it attempts to wrap around her body. Meanwhile, the skeletons and zombies in the area move ever closer... at an extremely slow pace. Korraemus takes 9 damage and 1 negative level. Korraemus takes 22 damage and needs a fort save (DC 19) or 6 str damage. Korraemus takes 9 damage and 13 damage (another 22 total). Kady takes 7 damage and needs a fort save (DC 19) or she takes 1 str damage (from poison). Kady needs to make an opposed grapple check (against a 39). (To previous questions: You can shoot at the swarm if you'd like, but there are thousands of the extremely small insects. As well, anybody casting spells against the creature needs to roll to overcome Spell Resistance for future reference.) Location: In the Jungle (south) The southern contingent of adventurer's are lucky in their findings. The creature felled by the arrow volley has it's armor and weapon relatively unharmed. A set of armor with obvious demonic design. It's axe is large and well crafted, with a few strange designs of it's own. The other creature's armor appears to have been shattered by William's lightnings, though it's sword remains in tact and usable, also crafted for a man larger than usual. As they continue onward into the jungle they can not only feel the eyes upon them but see a number of creatures moving about attempting to hide in the dying jungle. Again the mindless undead seem to pay no attention to them. In the distance, Gorad, the only one who appears to be traveling alone through the jungle at this moment, hears the marching feet of Sargatanas' war party. The skeletal clicking of bones and the sound of metal armor and leathery flesh creaking and groaning.
Gulien 10-02-07, 11:56 AM	Location: In the Jungle (south) "Ahhh, finally..." Gorad moves swiftly towards the noise and when within sight of the undead party he watches, taking care to remain insconspicuous and tries to ascertain who is in charge before he approaches. Feeling the hunger gnaw at his insides he also looks for a snack... Move Silently (1d20+30=44) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1295837) Hide Check (1d20+30=44) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1295838) Spot to notice any living amongst the dead. (1d20+15=24) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1295841)
CaptainShar 10-02-07, 12:29 PM	Location: Jungle (North) Keeping an eye on the approaching swarms of undead (let me know when they're within two moves of the main party), Nedin continues to shoot at the giant, figuring attacks from a distance are the best way to take it down. First Arrow (Smite Evil) (1d20+29=46) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1295860) Second and Third arrows (1d20+22=38, 1d20+22=29) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1295861) Fourth arrow (1d20+17=32) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1295865) Fifth arrow (1d20+12=24) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1295868) Damage (4d6+1=21, 4d6+1=13, 4d6+1=15, 4d6+1=20, 4d6+1=16) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1295870) Pierce: 5, 3, 4, 5, 2 Fire: 6, 4, 4, 6, 4 Holy: 10+11 (Smite Evil), 6, 7, 9, 10 Sorry, I just want to brag: even if the piercing does nothing, that's 77 damage. :D
Demonfey 10-02-07, 02:57 PM	(After Kady goes, just dealing with it all now) Location: Jungle (North) Current HP: 25 (if remembering rules for negative levels and HD (lose level, lose HD and Con bonus, right?)). If not, 42 Fort Save: 22 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1296060) Bleeding heavily from all the wounds he's taking, Korrae still soldiers on, striking at the creature again as his body burns it every time he is attacked. Attacks: 28, 20, 17 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1296062) His aim's definitely being affected by blood loss. (If any of those hit) Damage: 20, 21, 18 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1296072)
Orcy The Green Wonder 10-02-07, 03:48 PM	Negative level: -5 HP, -1 attack rolls, saving throws, skill checks and -1 to effective level. You also lose one spell or spell slot from your highest level of spells known
Demonfey 10-02-07, 04:33 PM	Ah, then current HP 31 (heat body ability), and not applicable for spells
Kady_Small 10-02-07, 07:09 PM	Northern Jungle Grapple (1d20+9=19) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1296519) Fort Save (1d20+18=23) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1296525) Kady shakes off the poison, but she's too small to do much against the gigantic tentacle. Current HP: 94 8 Rounds left on Protection from Evil (+2 AC, +2 to saves) Seeing she has little chance of escaping from the creature, Kady tries to hurt it enough to make it drop her. The wand she's still holding should come in handy... Activate Wand of Cure Critical: Use Magic Device (1d20+19=32) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1296546) Cure Critical Wounds (4d8+8=22) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1296541)
Orcy The Green Wonder 10-03-07, 12:05 AM	((While you can activate the wand without a problem in a grapple you'll still need to make the touch attack (-4 penalty as usual in a grapple) or an opposed grapple check to hit the creature with the spell. Also, don't forget to roll a caster level check (wand's caster level) to overcome spell resistance.))
Kady_Small 10-03-07, 03:29 PM	Melee touch attack (1d20+10=25) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1297706) Caster level check (1d20+8=9) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1297707)
NightScreamer20 10-03-07, 11:36 PM	Location Northern Jungle Ray stomps on the ground and a pair of wings erupt from his boots as he skims across the ground to the creature. Flying 40 ft forward.
Orcy The Green Wonder 10-04-07, 12:48 AM	Location: In the Jungle (north) Screeching with incessant noise the swarm continue's it's relentless assault on Korraemus. The massive monstrosity roars, bending over and snapping it's jaws down on Korraemus once again. It's mighty jaws close over his body and rend his flesh, leaving him bloody when it is done. Turning it's attention toward Kady it's legs rise up one by one and slam down at her. It's lashing attacks fail to harm her even in her currently held condition, but it switches tactics and uses the tentacle already around her to squeeze roughly. Korraemus takes 18 damage and gains one negative level. Korraemus takes 23 damage. Kady takes 10 damage (if she fails a DC 37 opposed Grapple) Kady needs a fort save DC 19 (poison) or she takes 4 strength damage.
Demonfey 10-04-07, 02:03 AM	And Korraemus is down for good.
Sargatanas 10-04-07, 02:19 AM	Location: In the Jungle (Southern section) Sargatanas looks around with a bit of annoyance apparent on his rotting features. His missing flesh reveals a constant smile on the bones of his face but his eyes flare violently from time to time. A growl emits from deep within his throat as he steps forward past his undead guardians. "Where are the enemies! Where are the VICTIMS!? Surely this fool doesn't intend to leave the path open for me to simply walk up and reclaim the throne. Unless of course he has seen the futility of attempting to stop me, that could be. With the ease we delt with his last 'defenses' I wouldn't be suprised if he was preparing a welcome and getting ready to bow at my feet. That would make it so much easier to take off his filthy unworthy head! Ah well gentlemen... what ever shall we do with our time here?" Davar is the only one of the group that seems to be alive, but he is also demonic in nature.
Gulien 10-04-07, 11:54 AM	Location: In the Jungle (Southern section) Hearing Sargatanas' words Gorad decides he has found the leader and steps from the darkness towards the parade of undeath. Stepping from the shadows into the thick of the undead Gorad begins to approach Sargatanas and goes as far as the minions will let him. Showing no hostile actions he speaks. "You there, your name?"
CaptainShar 10-04-07, 01:43 PM	Location: Jungle, north Nedin grimaces; even from that distance, Korraemus doesn't look so good. He shrugs and lets loose with another volley, shifting to the side once more. A new fountain of shining arrows shoots out of nowhere. Arrows 1, 2, 3 (1d20+22=32, 1d20+22=24, 1d20+22=42 crit threat) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1299565) Confirm crit (1d20+22=29) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1299566) Fourth arrow (1d20+17=31) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1299569) Fifth arrow (1d20+12=19) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1299570) Damage: (the third and fourth rolls both belong to the third arrow which crits) Damage (4d6+1=13, 4d6+1=11, 4d6+1=17, 4d6+1=16, 4d6+1=18, 4d6+1=17) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1299571) Pierce: 4, 4, 10, 4, 4 Flame: 6, 3, 7, 6, 3 Holy: 3, 4, 16, 8, 10
Sargatanas 10-04-07, 03:19 PM	Location: In the Jungle (south) "Talk with some respect boy, don't ye know ya should respect yer elders? Who am I? WHO AM I? I am the Lord of the Damned, Master of Undeath, Commander of great legions of the walking dead and the most powerful CORPSE you will ever meet. I am Sargatanas, and this forest... all you see... is MY will. Though an ursurper sits on the throne he won't for long, at least not most of him. I may decide to place his head on a pike next to it, or maybe out in front. A warning to any and all who dare to challenge the power of my Temple ever again. You boy.... who are you?" While Sargatanas has been speaking William, a man in heavy armor with bits of flesh hanging off his his body where skin is exposed steps between the two. He hefts a heavy sword and depsite his rotting state his strength is quite notable.
Gulien 10-04-07, 03:45 PM	Location: In the Jungle (south) Looking down and sizing up the little man that stands between he and Sargatanas, Gorad looks up and begins to speak over William's head. "My name is Gorad, and although my chief may have wanted to strip my name, my title is Nighthunter. I have traveled here from far to the North and after seeing this jungle and traveling within it i wish to thank you. Here the sun... it never rises. I can again hunt, albeit the pickings are slim. But through my travels i see very little method to this madness. These things have no order. I wish to find the source and impose rule to this and once again make my own clan... but it would seem it is not my place to do. Lord Sargatanas i wish to join you, eradicate the chaos that has taken this land, and once again have a place within a clan. With your permission perhaps, to raise my own within this pleasant darkness." With that Gorad bows his head as a showing of respect towards Sargatanas.

Sargatanas 10-05-07, 02:24 AM	Location: In the Jungle (south) Sargatanas adjusts his lower jaw and looks Gorad over, motioning William to the side so he can get a better look at the large man. He cackles to himself and nods a few times. "Alright boy... might be able to put you to use. But, I'll tell ya now... failure is not an option. Failure is met with punishment, I'm sure ya know what that means. Don't fail me, and ya won't have a problem. We'll see what ya can do then we'll decide on what you'll be doin... afterwards ya know? First, we get my throne back from this idiot thats sittin on it." Where ya at demoney? Ya dissapeared on me man, you're here to ain't ya?
Demonfey 10-05-07, 02:40 AM	I'm here, just don't really have much to add to the evil. Except, perhaps, for this: Location: Jungle (South) Word of warning: If I feel fangs anywhere near my flesh, I'm keeping them.
Gulien 10-05-07, 01:30 PM	Location: In the Jungle (south) "I would expect no less from a chieftain with such a large clan." Gorad stands straight and looks around at his new allies. Now looking to the one who spoke of his fangs he again speaks. "Keep what you kill little man..." Turning back to Sargatanas. "Mmmmm... my lord, have you yet had a chance to explain to that one the benefits of undeath? Perhaps with you permission... i could show him...?"
Demonfey 10-05-07, 01:51 PM	Location: Jungle (South) You need some variety. Be completely undead and people will just gear against that.
Gulien 10-05-07, 02:15 PM	Location: In the Jungle (south) Gorad ignores Davar, looking to Sargatanas for approval.
Sargatanas 10-05-07, 05:12 PM	Location: In the Jungle (south) "As much as I would love to watch you two gentlemen beat eachother brutally for my amusement I'd prefer to keep you both in tact at the moment. The more good soldiers I have the better off you'll be. Now gentlemen there will be plenty of time to beat on one another when I'm back on my throne and can throw things at the winner. For now, lets be moving on toward the goal and taking back the throne... and of course, the glorious destiny of the Damned."
Gulien 10-05-07, 05:21 PM	Location: In the Jungle (south) "Yes, my lord. Then shall we continue, the chaos of this place sickens me..."
Orcy The Green Wonder 10-06-07, 05:10 PM	Location: In the Jungle (south) Words flow out of the darkness, from the dying and decaying trees that surround the group. Whispers on the wind, flowing to your ears and speaking softly as if scolding a child. "Perhaps then... we should remove your organs... take out that sickened stomach. Or, maybe you would prefer to just have it all ended quickly and finally, so you don't have to worry about growing... sickened again? My lord will be quite happy when I present him with your heads..." Nothing stirs, not even the breeze flows through this place. The whispers are all that make a sound, and even they seem... insubstatial.
Gulien 10-07-07, 12:10 PM	Location: In the Jungle (south) Gorad looks around and laughs at the voice. Pounding his chest he looks outward trying to find the source in the darkness while his booming voice fills the area. "You speak a big game for a being who hides in the shadow's. If you want my organs, come and get them. I assure you, they are harder to get than you may think. As for your master, you may want to return to him with a warning, before the end of my days i will wrench his head from his body and it shall sit on a pike in Lord Sargatanas's temple, be it still animate or not." Spot check. To see where voice is coming from. (1d20+15=33) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1304543) Listen check to pinpoint the voice. (1d20+15=22) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1304547)
Demonfey 10-07-07, 01:54 PM	Location: Jungle (South) Davar simply takes another battle stance, such that his arms and legs will move like scythes through whatever is coming. (Just switching from bludgeoning to slashing damage with my unarmed strike)
Orcy The Green Wonder 10-08-07, 12:08 PM	Location: In the Jungle (north) The large monster screeches loudly from it's wounds. It's body twists slightly and the sores covering it suddenly expand, a ring of acidic pus spewing forth from it's many wounds to rain down on everyone nearby. It slams Kady to the ground and holds her tight, it's tentacle twists strangely and Kady can feel something attempting to affect her body. The swarm now shifts to a new target, flying over the small paladin. Kady takes 6 damage and needs a fort save DC 19 against poison or takes 3 str damage. Kady takes 10 damage and gains one negative level. Kady can make a reflex save DC 18 or take 19 acid damage and 2 str, in addition if you fail you are nauseated, the same goes for the blink dog on this one. Successful save is 10 damage and no str. Kady also needs a DC 18 fort save of she takes 6 charisma damage. Finally, Kady needs to make another fort save (DC 19) against distraction at the begining of her turn. ((Orcy is sorry hes taken so long to post, he was hoping Ray would do something.))
CaptainShar 10-08-07, 01:06 PM	Location: Jungle (north) Not Kady! Nedin shifts closer to the monster this time. Gritting his teeth at the choice between shooting or coming to get Kady, he still decides that killing the giant will probably help more than anything else. First arrow; Smite Evil (1d20+29=35) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1306263) Second and Third Arrows (1d20+22=34, 1d20+22=26) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1306267) Fourth Arrow (1d20+17=31) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1306270) Fifth arrow (1d20+12=28) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1306273) Damage (4d6+1=17, 4d6+1=11, 4d6+1=9, 4d6+1=15, 4d6+1=16) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1306277) Pierce: 6+11 (Smite), 4, 5, 3, 5 Flame: 4, 1, 1, 6, 6; Total: 18 Holy: 7, 6, 3, 6, 5; Total: 27
Sargatanas 10-08-07, 05:07 PM	Location: In the Jungle (south) "Well then get out here and lets get it over with already. I mean really, Only I'm allowed to be dramatic and cocky! Now come out here so we can kill you or re-kill you so we can finish this already. Unless you're afraid of my real ultimate power."
Kady_Small 10-08-07, 07:30 PM	Jungle (North) Nearly helpless and wounded, Kady depends on the one thing that has never failed her: Her faith. ((These are before the negative level, but would all pass even if made afterwards. Also, I officially love Divine Grace.)) Fort Save (poison) (1d20+16=29) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1306842) Reflex Save (1d20+22=24) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1306843) Fortitude Save (1d20+16=35) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1306846) Save vs Distraction (1d20+16=27) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1306850) Current Status: HP: 53 1 Negative Level 7 Rounds left on Protection from Evil
Orcy The Green Wonder 10-10-07, 12:27 AM	Location: In the Jungle (north) The large beast twitches, letting out another long, loud roar before collapsing to the ground. It's tentacle twitches and releases Kady. The insects however continue to bite, nip and attack. ((Orcy believes it is Kady's turn still? Nedin's attacks killed the larger creature but the swarm is still presant.))
Kady_Small 10-11-07, 11:03 PM	Location: In the Jungle (north) ((Is this thing tall enough for me to need to make a save to land on my feet? If so...)) Tumble (1d20+17=21) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1312250) "Thanks, Nedin!" Kady calls. She touches her holy symbol, wondering whether more than just the pixie's arrows figured into her rescue. Kady grabs a wand of invisibility from her backpack and activates it, hoping the insects might lose track of her if they can't see her. Use Magic Device (1d20+19=30) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1312247)
Orcy The Green Wonder 10-13-07, 11:32 PM	((Orcy has been putting things off a bit after the whole deal with the change in logins and whatnot so folks could post, but it seems like Nightscreamer is going to have to be skipped again.)) Location: In the Jungle (north) The swarm seems confused by the sudden disappearance of their target, moving onward toward the next available, they flow down over Ray. Biting and clawing at the armored man, finding any gaps that they can when they strike. Ray takes 11 damage and gains one negative level. Ray needs a fortitude save DC 19 on his trun against distraction. Location: In the Junlge (south) Soft laughter comes from the shadows, feminine laughter along with a deeper male voice. Again the first speaks quietly, a hint of contemptuous amusement in it's tone."Violent aren't we? Well, I suppose the threat of taking the head would cause such a reaction... especially for one who has lost his head before. If you would like... we will kill you quickly. Or... we could draw things out and make you feel pain the likes of which you never thought you could feel again."
CaptainShar 10-13-07, 11:54 PM	Location: Jungle, north Nedin becomes visible again, and flies toward his friends (double move). Ray! Wake up, you big torch! I'm no good against these bugs, and I say we get a move on out of here. Kady's doing bad and Korraemus looks worse. But a little light would be helpful! He also tries to attract the attention of the small skeletons.
Gulien 10-14-07, 12:16 AM	Gorad growls and paces back and forth. Looking to all places the voices float out of the forest. "As ever, big on talk, little on action. Move it on before we walk away from your grandiose threats."
Kady_Small 10-14-07, 11:56 AM	Location: North Jungle ((This would be on my turn, which I don't think is up yet.)) Good. They can't see invisible things. Kady activates the wand again and heads towards Ray, touching him and discharging the invisibility spell. "Hey, Nedin, blink out again, and we can just sneak away. We can come back later with a giant flyswatter. Or something." Use Magic Device (1d20+19=26) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1315676)
Orcy The Green Wonder 10-16-07, 02:21 PM	Location: In the Jungle (north) The swarm of insects appear confused, and after a while fly off. A few stop to eat as they pass over Korraemus' corpse. The rest however take off into the forest ignoring the shambling dead that really seem to be doing nothing more than wandering now that the large beast is dead. Location: In the Junlge (south) The laughter is joined by a second depper voice. The shadows swirl silently save for the laughter before a pair of figures seem to fade slightly into view nearby. They draw wickedly curved daggers and a smile is all that can be seen beneath the hooded cloaks they wear. (Initiative folks, if you all think Orcy is taking to long feel free to bug him in an IM, he has it listed in his profile for a reason)
Gulien 10-16-07, 03:58 PM	Location:In the Jungle(South) Gorad prepares for a fight, grunting in distaste at the insubstanial mass of their assailants.Growling in his smooth grating voice. "I hate ghosts." Initiative (1d20+12=18) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1319128)
Demonfey 10-17-07, 11:55 AM	Location: Jungle (south) Davar mentally curses a little. If they are incorporeal, then this will be a long fight... Initiative: 12 (http://forums.gleemax.com/leaving.php?destination=http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py%3Fid%3D1246636)
CaptainShar 10-17-07, 12:05 PM	Waiting on Nightscreamer before I decide what to do.
Sargatanas 10-17-07, 04:51 PM	Location: In the Jungle (south) Sargatanas appears likewise annoyed by the interruption. His annoyed groan echoes loudly when he sees the insubstatial forms infront of him but he quickly mutters and shakes his head. Raising a hand. "Kill them!" Initaitive: 14 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1321494)
Kady_Small 10-17-07, 09:27 PM	Location: Jungle (North) Kady sighs in relief as the insects depart. When they're gone, she retrieves her healing wand and drops it into her backpack. I have to be better prepared for situations like this. Kady walks over to where Korraemus lies. A man died because we couldn't help him. Can't let that happen again. Kady takes another wand from her pack. A few moments later, the dirt and blood magically disappear from the body, unfortunately making the man's horrible wounds much more evident. UMD (1d20+19=39) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1321902) Not a pleasant way to die, thinks Kady, wincing as her own experience with the insects replays itself. "A courageous man," she says. "He won't be left here. My pack's enchanted; I'll be able to carry him 'til we get back to the Halls. Does either of you have a blanket, or something of that sort? Mine would be too small for him." ((If it's agreed to carry Korraemus back, Kady will check the dead man's belongings to be sure none of them contain extradimensional spaces.)) "Does anyone need healing?" Kady asks. "I've got a Cure Light wand with quite a lot of use left in it yet; even if you can heal yourself, it's best to save your energies for battle. Also, if you've been poisoned, I have supplies that can help with that." ((Healing resources: CLW wand, 50 charges; CSW wand, 22 charges; 3 scrolls of Lesser Restoration.)) Kady heals herself. Cure Light Wounds wand (1d8+1=3, 1d8+1=8, 1d8+1=4, 1d8+1=6) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1321916) Cure Light Wounds wand (1d8+1=4, 1d8+1=4, 1d8+1=9) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1321918) Status: 91 HP (Full=96) 1 negative level
Orcy The Green Wonder 10-19-07, 08:13 PM	The creatures both smirk, their faint outline shimmering slighty before they once again disappear from view. Cackling laughter echoing through the air. Phantoms, Gorad, Sargatanas, Davar
Gulien 10-22-07, 02:56 AM	Location: Jungle (South) Gorad watches the area around him for evidence of invisible enemies and takes a full defensive posture. +4 to AC. Sorry about how long i took. Didnt realize it was my turn, new guy mistake.
Sargatanas 10-23-07, 12:29 PM	Location: In the Jungle (south) Sargatanas emits a low growl, looking around him and noting his allies are near he whispers a few words of his spell. Quickly thin whisps of smoke appear and wrap around each of those near him. All of them instantly vanish from sight. ((Davar and Gorad included in that vanishin act, invisibility sphere.))
demonfey02 10-23-07, 11:46 PM	Location: Jungle (South) Davar activates his ring before heading out into the general area that the phantoms were in. Once they decloak, he will find out how incorporeal these phantoms are...
CaptainShar 10-24-07, 12:57 PM	OOC: Looks like Nightscreamer vanished. Location: Jungle, North I don't know what's come over him, Lady Kady, but we can't go forward if we can't see. Guess we'll go back to the halls for now and perhaps make a fresh start in a few days? Nedin goes invisible as well. The four of them make their way out of the jungle.
Orcy The Green Wonder 10-27-07, 11:43 PM	Location: In the Jungle (South) The air rushes around suddenly, no sound made despite the blowing winds and the feel of something moving, something insubstantial flows throughout the area. With both parties unseen and unseeing there is an eerie silence, even the shambling, moaning dead seem to have grown silent. Location: Northern Jungle The group turns back, making their way out of the forest slowly but surely, avoiding the shambling dead and their type. Soon they find themselves back on the border, passing the point where Korraemus had run himself into a tree. (Sorry... Orcy forgot he hadn't posted.)
Kady_Small 10-29-07, 12:29 AM	Location: Northern Jungle Kady dismounts as they leave the jungle. Leaning aginst the dog, which nuzzles her hair, Kady sighs in mixed relief and disappointment. "Back to the Halls of Refuge, then?" she says. "We need to find out whether anybody knows Korraemus, and whether he wants to be raised. "After that, I don't know about you, but I'm going back in; there's something going on there that needs to be stopped. We really need a good spellcaster on our side here... though I suppose I could try to find some scrolls to stand in for one."
Gulien 11-02-07, 11:48 PM	Location: In the Jungle (South) Gorad again waits for one of the creatures to become visible.
Sargatanas 11-03-07, 01:16 PM	Location: In the Jungle (south) Sargatanas grunts spits and curses in annoyance, taking a vial from his robes, unseen by the naked eye. He opens the stopper and spits it toward where the ghostly figures had been, the cork appearing and dropping to the ground with a bounce. He pours the contents of the vial into each of his eye sockets and incants quietly, a flash of light in the shape of eyes appears hanging in mid air for a moment and is gone.
demonfey02 11-04-07, 01:01 PM	Location: The jungle (south) After a couple rounds of waiting with no one doing anything, Davar decides to try a daring plan. He drops his invisibility and takes a defensive stance, hoping that one of the creatures will take the bait.
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-11-07, 12:14 AM	Location: In the Jungle (south) As Davar appears from his hiding, a pair of thin half-seen daggers thrust into his back. The blade and creature wielding it appearing only for the briefest of seconds before each again vanishes. Davar takes 51 damage.
Gulien 11-14-07, 03:08 PM	Location: The jungle (south) Gorad again waits for an oppurtunity to strike.
demonfey02 11-15-07, 04:44 PM	Location: The jungle (south) Quickly stepping away from where he was attacked, Davar activates his ring again before going on a full defensive. (5 ft step, full defense. If nothing happens next round, I'm just going to head further into the jungle.)
Sargatanas 11-20-07, 12:00 AM	Sargatans watches all with un-characteristic calm. He hisses a sickly sigh, raising a hand and thrusting it into one of the creatures. A holy, white light appears, flowing from his outstretched hand and into the ghostly figure. With his hand smoking from the channeling of positive energy Sargatanas and those concealed by his spell appear. Touch: 16 (+2 from invis and its flat footed) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1382703) 100 damage (HEAL)
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-07-07, 01:56 PM	The figure appears from the air around the group, and it screams loud and painfully. It shimmers once before it's body melts away and disperses in a cloud of sickly vapors. To Sargatanas' magically enhanced eyes the other appears terrified, and quickly flees. ((Wow... Orcy eh... seems to have forgotten to post here, hes sorry. Lets try to get this back up and moving shall we?))
redhase 12-07-07, 03:10 PM	Artimas watching this from the shadows will wait to introduce him self to Sargatanas.
demonfey02 12-07-07, 04:32 PM	Guess they are ghosts.
Gulien 12-08-07, 01:08 PM	Gorad grunts. "That was impressive."
Sargatanas 12-09-07, 10:48 PM	"Burns like a *****, but yeah, effective." Sargatanas shakes his arm and blows some smoke off of it from the focusing of the positive energy. "Lets keep movin. Now they can try again, but we'll just crush em again. If this boy is smart he'll meet me in MY temple. Then we'll see who the true Lord of the Damned is.. then we'll see."
demonfey02 12-10-07, 01:07 AM	Lead on, Boss.
DragonStrife 12-11-07, 02:58 PM	Adrelial sits up in the branches of a dead tree hiding in the shadow, in plain sight. Keeping perfectly still, trying to listen in on the conversation to gain any information. She prepares herself for a fight, or worse to explain herself. Once she knows their direction she follows silently. She rolled a 41 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1420364) for a listen check on Sargatanas's group. (Note: her listen bonus is 21, I put in 20 by accident, so the above number is correct.) And a 31 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1420370) for her move silently check
Sargatanas 12-11-07, 09:28 PM	Nhyris leans foward and whispers to Sargantas, who turns and mutters as he continues walking. "Damned spys, always spys. Why the hell do these bastards keep spying on me? Sitting in a tree, acting like they're smart and sneaky. What is wrong with all these morons trying to hide and watch me? HAVE SOME BALLS YA COWARDS!" Sargatanas spits, mutters and waves arms about wildly. Making his way onward toward the temple with obvious annoyance. (Ya know that this happened a lot before all the crap at the seafarer's guild right? We're way behind on this.)
Gulien 12-11-07, 11:56 PM	Looking around and eyeing the surroundings Gorad searches the forest around them for any of the spies Lord Sargatanas is refering too. Spot Check: To see spy/snacky girl. (1d20+15=24) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1421303) Lucky.... -.-, for now...
DragonStrife 12-12-07, 03:04 PM	Adrelial at this point is have a very heated discussion inside her head on if she should show herself, cat call Sargantas or just stay put. Right now she's leaning more toward making a dramatic entrance. She gently jumps down about 20 ft behind the group, her lack of wisdom getting the better of her. She calmly leans against a tree and readies herself for a shadow jump to the closest person, if need be. Her hand is placed, but not as a threat, on the hilt of her rapier. "No really point in sneaking around now is there?" She says just quite enough to be heard. I hope for Adrelial's sake the snacky girl part was a miss spelling:P
Gulien 12-12-07, 10:20 PM	Gorad's eyes lock onto the foolish girl with a ravenous hunger, with a flexing of muscles he prepares to attack. Initiative: Elf girl, im gonna eat you. (1d20+12=31) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1422785) It wasnt. Sorry, havent eaten in days.
Sargatanas 12-12-07, 10:54 PM	Sargatanas leans against a tree, waving one arm in exaggerated slow motion. His voice comes out in the most monotone way his dead body can form. "No... wait... don't." With a hand over the missing part of his jaw's flesh he yawns loudly.
DragonStrife 12-13-07, 06:25 AM	Aderial's eyes don't show fear, in fact they don't show ant emotion. They're completely black. She stands up and bows her head to Davar and Gorad politely, then a full bow to Sargatanas. "I must thank you for that Lord..." She says following proper court behavior for greeting someone with status. She keeps watch of Gorad out of the corner of her eye. :P No eating a new character, it's not nice
redhase 12-13-07, 06:35 AM	DragonstrifeGorad is talking about sucking your charcters blood and making her an vampire spawn, that is the kind of food Gorad likes is blood. :eek: Anyway Artimas sends Sargatanas a message, " Spies no, were here to help. Too join your cause" Artimas is of course in the shadows and has shadow wraped about him., becoming part of the darkness.
Sargatanas 12-13-07, 11:58 AM	(Ain't very easy to show sarcasm online looks like. But he was bein sarcastic... roll initiative. Sargatanas ain't fond of spies, hates it actually. Had enough of it early on. So you need ta make a really good case before Gorad eats ya. And wher ethe hell have you peoplem been comin from? This battle is days before the things goin on at the rest of the guild house, we're behind, in the middle of a jungle of undead where we'd be harder than hell ta track and you people are poppin outta thin air to spy on Sargatanas, or join him. But wait for a time thats more up with the rest of the board.)
Gulien 12-13-07, 11:59 AM	Hes being sarcastic. Im attacking you. Roll Init.
DragonStrife 12-13-07, 03:10 PM	Not yet, your forgetting Adrelial was anticipating an attack, or some other thing that would cause her to fight or flee, she's not really found of the idea of fighting a hungry vampire. Right now, flight in her mind is her only choice. I'll still roll init, though. Init 26 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1424479) (19+7) Seeing now way to ovoid a fight Adrelial starts to draw her rapier but with out warning blinks out. Need to know timing in relation to others' actions. By the way she's now in Gorad's shadow, using hide in plain sight again. Yeah I know I don't get to go first, but remember, she still a bout 20 ft away from you before the attack started. :)
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-13-07, 03:51 PM	Wrong, sorry. You are both aware of one another. You must roll initiative since there is no suprise round. Since you can't 'ready' an attack when everyone is aware...
DragonStrife 12-13-07, 04:39 PM	I have... 26 (See my above post) or do I need to roll again?
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-13-07, 04:45 PM	Which would mean he beats you and you can't 'blink out.'
Gulien 12-13-07, 04:52 PM	With a howl of anticipation of his upcoming feast Gorad darts forward and tackles the tasty looking elf. Touch Attack to Grapple: +2 from charge. (1d20+18=32) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1424714) Grapple Check: To Start Grapple (1d20+39=52) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1424725) Slamming into the slim figure with his considerable bulk Gorad attempts to take Adrelial to the ground and begin this long overdue feast. "Fear not little one in a second this discomfort will be over and you shall rise as the beginning of my tribe in the night. Fear not... Fear not..."
DragonStrife 12-13-07, 06:17 PM	Now can she use shadow jump? Got to hate unbeatable rolls :P Being tackled the breath has been knocked out of her and her black lenses are on the ground. Her violet eyes stare upwards.
Gulien 12-13-07, 06:30 PM	If you beat my grapple check. If your grappled im pretty sure you wont be able to jump away seeing as how you have a ravenous goliath vampire holding you down.
DragonStrife 12-13-07, 06:42 PM	It's more like a spell, I think. Her eyes are hard no fear shows in them, just anger at herself. "May I ask you one question?" her voice is very soft so only Gorad can barely hear it being asked, "Why?" she stops struggling and her body is limp, no longer straining against Gorad's hold.
Gulien 12-13-07, 07:00 PM	Im assuming since you are making no opposition you are going to allow it to happen. Gorad flexs and wrestles the small elf to the ground pinning her. Grapple Check: To pin the elf. (1d20+39=54) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1425103) His voice comes to her softer now, just loud enough for her to here. "Because I did not choose this life but still i must live it. In living it i must eat, for the hunger gnaws at me eternally. Fear not, you shall understand. Fear not, you shall rise stronger than ever. Fear not, for i shall love you as i loved the tribe that was stolen from me.... Fear not..."
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-13-07, 07:12 PM	(You can 'cast a spell' but you need to make a concentration check like all spells.)
Gulien 12-13-07, 07:43 PM	Just read dimension door, you can do it. But im going with you.
DragonStrife 12-13-07, 08:17 PM	That ought to be fun given I'm going to your shadow. She rolled a 16 for concentration (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1425208)(15+1)
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-13-07, 08:34 PM	((DC to cast a spell while grappled is 20 + spell level, so Orcy would have to say that doesn't make it.))
Gulien 12-13-07, 08:42 PM	Hungrily Gorad darts his huge mouth in and bites the neck of the elf, starting to engorge himself on her blood. Grapple Check: Maintain the pin (1d20+39=59) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1425309) Blood Drain: 1d4 Con drain. (1d4=3) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1425312) Gorad gains 5 temporary HP.
DragonStrife 12-13-07, 08:49 PM	She bits her lip hard to avoid screaming. Her eyes stare right at Gorad. Her whole body stiffens and she tries to wiggle but can't move. She knows she can't do anything but she hasn't given up yet, she tries to reach for her rapier or dagger in her belt. "Could you let me die with some dignity by allowing me to defend myself?" Hey Orcy, when can she roll again for anything. Also, how would she having a LA for being a Vampire spawn work with her being lvl15?
Gulien 12-13-07, 09:11 PM	Im not trying to step on Orcy's toes but grappling works by making opposed grapple checks. I have you pinned right now so you can either try to cast a spell or try to break my grapple. Im doing this next part assuming that you are doing what you tried to do in your last turn as your turn. Pretty much roll a opposed grapple and if you beat my 43 you will get free of the pin, but still be grappled. Gorad ignores the pleas of the girl and continues to suck. Drinking away her blood. Grapple: maintain the pin 2 (1d20+39=43) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1425351) Blood Drain: 1d4 con drain. (1d4=4) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1425355) Gorad gains 5 temporary HP.
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-13-07, 09:11 PM	Your next turn you will be able to make your rolls... so now. As well, as a vampire (not a spawn) You'd have quite a high LA and be under Gorad's control.
redhase 12-13-07, 09:24 PM	Sargatanas (Ain't very easy to show sarcasm online looks like. But he was bein sarcastic... roll initiative. Sargatanas ain't fond of spies, hates it actually. Had enough of it early on. So you need ta make a really good case before Gorad eats ya. And wher ethe hell have you peoplem been comin from? This battle is days before the things goin on at the rest of the guild house, we're behind, in the middle of a jungle of undead where we'd be harder than hell ta track and you people are poppin outta thin air to spy on Sargatanas, or join him. But wait for a time thats more up with the rest of the board.) That is fine with Artimas, when the days are cought up in the jungle then fine. Artimas would only be one day after attack on the kender and shar. But artimas would still try to help the group even if from the shadows, after the days are cought up. So then let the days be cought up then. This would be his first visite to get your character to know that others wish to help.
DragonStrife 12-14-07, 06:15 AM	32 for grapple (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1425975)(20+12) She's now screaming at Gorad. "What the Heck is wrong with you? You know there is no where for me to escape to that I can't be followed so let me up." She's fighting hard and wiggles and squirms trying to get up. "Are you so desperate that your afraid I'm going to run away!" She's now over being mad at herself, now she's just plain mad. Oddly enough I was considering when I was plaining her to make her a vampire.
Gulien 12-14-07, 03:23 PM	Gorad again ignores the girl and continues to drain her of the sweet sweet blood flowing from her neck. Grapple Check: Maintain the pin 3 (1d20+39=46) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1426575) Blood Drain: 1d4 Con drain. (1d4=1) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1426576) Gorad growls a bit as her struggling has deprived him of a full mouthfull of her blood. I fear nothing girl and soon neither will you... Fear not... Gorad gains 5 temp HP.
DragonStrife 12-14-07, 03:32 PM	"Oh, and that's a good thing? Fear keeps you from doing stupid stuff, keeps you alert and warns you when you shouldn't be doing something. Me and fear are friends. I was stupid and dropped my fear, that's how I got to be like this. From your point of view this might be just peachy, but for me this is a tad painful." She isn't giving up just yet. and continues to wiggle trying to move away or reach a dagger, or anything that would help. How I manged to get 2 20's in a row I will never know She got 32 for grapple, again (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1426589) (20+12) I'm not sure but does a 20 have a automatic success in grapples? And she's down to 4 as her Con score (12-3-4-1)
Gulien 12-14-07, 05:33 PM	Gorad continues to drain her of her life esscense. Grapple Check: maintain pin 4 (1d20+39=49) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1426842) Blood Drain: 1d4 con drain. (1d4=2) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1426844) Gorad gains 5 temp HP.
DragonStrife 12-14-07, 06:34 PM	She looks sad but is resined to her fate and knowing she can do nothing closes her eyes and waits for the end. down to 2 for Con May the dice gods be with you Gulien, I'm not sure I can take another couple posts of this. Oh, and will she be a vampire or a vampire spawn. I'm confused because Orcy said Vampire. I believe that Gulien is say spawn. Once that's sorted out how would I deal with the LA?
DragonStrife 12-14-07, 07:00 PM	Just looked through the Vampire/Vampire Spawn entries in the MM. I believe she would be an elite Vampire, or just a plain Vampire Spawn. Still iffy about the LA, the sample elite vampire, and the sample vampire seemed to not have an LA, but later on it mentioned a LA of +8 for Vampires and +5 for spawn. This is Orcy's call though.
Gulien 12-14-07, 08:23 PM	Gorad takes one final massive draw from her neck and her body goes limp in his arms. Standing he cradles her body in his arms and places it into the coffin on his back scooping dirt from the ground he fills the coffin with enough dirt to fully submerge her. Looking around he locks eyes with Sargatanas. Grapple Check: Maintain the pin 4 (1d20+39=47) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1427117) Blood Drain: 1d4 Con drain. (1d4=3) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1427120) Create Spawn: 1d4 days till she rises as a vampire. (1d4=4) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1427125) "Lord, I apologize for the delay. In a few days time a new subject will rise in my thrall and as proxy be ruled by you. Thank you for the opportunity to eat."" The book under create spawn says it all i think. You will raise as a full vampire in my thrall. Because of the Advanced Spawn ability add an additional +2 str and dex to the scores in the vampire template. See you in 4 days ;) . But ofcourse it is up to Orcy what you would do.
DragonStrife 12-14-07, 08:26 PM	Thanks. See you then. Given the rate so far, four days could take years. :P
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-14-07, 09:00 PM	(By the rules and the fact you have over 4 HD... you rise as a Vampire, not a spawn.) The group marches onward, many undead wandering the jungle as they continue onward. None however make any moves to stop them. In fact, some gather and walk in the distance alongside the group, a silent and unspeaking escort. The days pass, the group resting as needed until on the fourth day Gorad's new 'child' spawns. It is late on the next day that in the distance a colossal skull comes into view. Green ghostly flames burn in it's eyes and the mouth stands gaping wide upon the ground. The Temple of the Damned. Outside a contingent of undead stand at attention, two units each facing one another with weapons raised to form an arch of sorts. A black robed figure stands at the end of the long pathway, a nod visible from it's hooded head as the group comes into view.
Gulien 12-14-07, 09:35 PM	This happens as soon as Adrelial rises. On the morning of Adrelial's awakening Gorad is waiting and lifts the top to the coffin to greet her into this new world. Pulling her from the dirt he makes her stand. Taking his leave of the rest of the undead troop he pulls her aside and extends his arm. "Drink from me child." For the next hour she suckles slowly from his arm while he whispers his secrets into her ears. Explaining her new abilities and weaknesses she can feel his blood enter her and make her even stronger than she was before. "Rise now, my first of many. You are your master's chosen. I rename you now, with my blood fresh in your veins, Adrelial Shadowstalker, Master's Chose of Gorad Nighthunter, Deadly Blade of Sargatanas, Bane of the Living." In his mind Gorad can feel the connection between he and the girl. Relaxing it a bit he allows her to have her own mind again but with necessary control over her views as Him as her master. After the ritual they arrive back at the undead troop and they approach Sargatanas. Waving his arm he florishes to indicate Adrelial who is kneeling before Sargatanas. "My lord, I would like to introduce you to Adrelial Shadowstalker, Master's Chose of Gorad Nighthunter, Deadly Blade of Sargatanas, Bane of the Living." OOC:Hey Dragonstrife! Welcome to the family. Pretty much for RP purposes you have your free-ish will. You can say and think what you want but have to do as I say no matter what i say to you. Thats the constraint, you CANNOT disobey me, if this irks you you can turn the character over to me and i will control her. But if you want to continue RP'ing you may. Up to you man.
demonfey02 12-14-07, 11:43 PM	This happens slightly before Adrelial dies: Sargatanas hears Davar near him. You see, this is why I stayed invisible afterwards. Didn't feel like being his food source. Over the days, he's fully healed himself. He silently drains a few flasks of blood for the new minion, though-he heals it quickly, though.
DragonStrife 12-15-07, 09:33 AM	She's still trying to get use to being stronger and faster then before and often when lifting something tosses it into the air by accident. She tries out her new abilities and seems to enjoy her alternate form as a dire wolf. She's still nervous around the others and is always within a few feet of Gorad. She growls quietly when she sees the dark hooded person, she really doesn't like the look of him. She stands straight and waits for directions. No, I'm fine with that. I think it would be best if I still RP'ed her.
Sargatanas 12-15-07, 03:46 PM	Sargatanas aknowledges the newcomer to the fold. Examining her new undead form he grants Gorad an approving nod. He says little and walks onward, amused by the escort given to them, as if anything in the jungle would, or could, harm him and his soldiers. When the temple comes into view, he stops. Staring ahead at the temple but managing to control himself. "My Temple... my home. It is finally time to reclaim it... to take my place on it's throne once more. Come... it looks as if we're expected." Sargatanas waves Nhyris and William infront of him before stepping in line and heading straight for the man in the cloak. He walks casually, going to meet with this hooded individual.
demonfey02 12-15-07, 04:13 PM	Falling into step with Nhyris and William in the front lines, Davar begins trying to decide what combat style would be best, before deciding on crushing blows.
DragonStrife 12-15-07, 05:37 PM	Adrelial steps away from Gorad to give them both room and steps forward so that she's only slightly behind Davar, Nhyris and William, and readies herself to draw her rapier.
Gulien 12-16-07, 01:09 AM	Gorad surveys the situation and decides to take up a position one step back and one step to the left of Sargatanas ready to pull him out of harms way if need be or protect him from rear attack.
DragonStrife 12-16-07, 07:44 AM	Adrelial looks around her taking note of everyone's positions, including the enemies. She looks to Saragtanas, and Gorad "My lords?"
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-16-07, 06:37 PM	The hooded creature bows extrememly low to Sargatanas. Shining red eyes are the only visible feature below the cowl. It waves a clawed hand with a flourish toward the entrance and a sweet hissing voice echoes from beneath the hood. "Ah, the great and mighty Sargatanas, you have been expected. Please enter, His Majesty, the Lord of the Damned awaits you."
DragonStrife 12-16-07, 07:14 PM	Adrelial isn't looking very happy at the moment. She moves in closer to Sargatanas and Gorad as she passes the hooded figure, she adopts a more slinking mode of walking and her eyes dart watching for anything threating. She moves closer, but still far enough away that they can still fight, to Gorad as they enter the Temple of the Damned, then moves to the opposite side of Sargatanas. Mainly to keep a look out on that side and keep out of the way .
Sargatanas 12-18-07, 10:19 AM	"Oh yes, the 'lord of the damned' that you serve. I'd be happy to meet the idiot, see just how he thinks to call himself that. After all, it isn't really a 'borrowable title' what with it being mine and mine alone. You know, I think I might just have to take that issue up with him, we'll have a little chat. Maybe over some nice tea and fireballs... I mean biscuits of course." Sargatanas steps into the temple, making his way toward the throne room.
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-19-07, 10:48 PM	A smile flashes for a split second across the hooded figures face before it once more vanishes with the rest of it's features. Guiding them inward though Sargatanas seems to know his way, the hooded man bows low and waves his arm toward the high archway that marks the throne room. Within, on the black, polished throne set upon a stylized base of bones and skulls is a man. Or rather, what might be considered a man. His body is concealed completely by black cloth and chain armor. Eyes, black like the rest of him stare out from a chain helm, only the eyes visible from beneath it. In the center of the black mass of each eye floats a white pupil with a red pinpoint of light in the center of each. A voice whispers, but speaks with a resounding, powerful tone, seemingly from every direction at once. "So... the festering corpse returns."
Sargatanas 12-20-07, 01:18 PM	Sargatanas steps into the room flanked by Nhyris and William, he laughs loud and obnoxiously when he sees the man on the throne. "Drauguril! So good to see you, means you ain't sent back to death yet and I can kill ya myself. Still wearing those wraps I see, not yet willing to admit that you're a rotting, shambling, insignificant corpse with no future? No? Oh well, I'm sure you'll be forced to see things my way soon enough now won't you? Why don't you get up off that boney backside of yours and lets have us some fun time huh?"
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-23-07, 03:51 PM	Drauguril rises from his throne, shaking his head slowly. He extends a hand palm down and closes it over the air. Flames extend from each side of his hand as a blade extends from each side into a solid black two-bladed sword. He takes a step foward and sinks down into a combat stance. "If you are so eager to return to your grave then we can begin any time corpse."
DragonStrife 12-23-07, 04:09 PM	Adrelial is still now and not shifting her weight from foot to foot any more. Her eyes train on Draguril and keep changing focus from fore ground to background to check for anything hiding in the shadows. Her hands don't move to her rapier, yet.. She waiting for an attack or command from Gorad or Sargatanas before she does anything rash. Spot Check 25 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1442469) (13+12)
demonfey02 12-23-07, 07:15 PM	Davar moves into his own combat stance, poised to hack into his foe's flesh. Shall we, boss? Initiative: 17 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1442586)
DragonStrife 12-23-07, 08:32 PM	She draws her rapier which becomes coated in a thin layer of frost. "Ready when you are" Initiative 33 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1442638)
Gulien 12-24-07, 12:54 AM	Gorad changes stance and prepares for battle. Initiative (1d20+12=14) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1443095)
Sargatanas 12-27-07, 10:08 PM	Initiative (1d20+3=22) (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1446225/) Sargatanas laughs and pounds his staff on the ground, the gem over his eye flashes and flares. Sparking with an arcane brilliance. "Time to dance!"
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-27-07, 10:44 PM	Drauguril spins his blade and takes only a step forward before Adrelial takes action. He emits a low growl of annoyance when she proves faster than him. Order: Adrelial Drauguril Sargatanas and Gang Davar Gorad
DragonStrife 12-28-07, 09:14 AM	She attacks with her rapier 35 (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1446486/) Damage if applicable: 15 (1d6+1d6+8 → [6(rapier),1(frost),8(Str)]) (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1446488/)
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-28-07, 09:10 PM	Drauguril laughs, his sword spinning infront of him he lunges toward the woman that had struck. Slashing with each end of the blade quickly three times. The chilling heads strike home once each, leaving behind scorched gouges. 39 damage (first hit, 6 fire) 22 damage (second hit, 2 fire)
Sargatanas 12-29-07, 12:53 AM	Sargatanas places a hand on William's back, the bones visible on various points of his body shift and change, taking on the appearance of thick metal. With a flick of his wrist toward Drauguril Sargatanas gives the most obvious command yet. "Kill the fool." Casting Iron Bones on William. William hefts his greatsword, stepping forward and swining the weapon around his own head to mock the 'lord' before him. The blade shimmers with a purple-blue arcane force leaving the notable tail of energy after the slash. His blade strikes with an explosion of magical energy, dispersed into the ursurper's body. Attack: 43 (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1446923/) Damage: 37 (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1446929/) Nhyris too slithers forward, his great scimitar gripped between his boney fingers. Bringing the blade up and down to hack at Drauguril's body. The keen edge of the blade slices through the armor of the undead ursurper, cutting clean into the flesh below. Attack: 35 (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1446931/) Damage: 16 (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1446932/)
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-31-07, 01:04 AM	(Gorad may go, we'll skip Davar since he hasn't posted yet.)
Gulien 12-31-07, 01:19 AM	Rushing forward Gorad moves around the other combatants flanking Drauguril and swings his limbs in a flurry of might and speed attempting to end the un-life of usurper. Flurry of Blows: +2 to attack Flanking. 1st(1d20+14=22) 2nd(1d20+14=27) (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1448528/) Damage: Flurry of Blows 1st(3d6+12=19) 2nd(3d6+12=23) (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1448532/) Gorad declares dodge on Drauguril for +1 AC.
DragonStrife 12-31-07, 08:52 AM	Adrelial declares dodge against Drauguril. She really doesn't like that sword, 38 Sunder check (18+20) (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1448597/) She hisses with pain and swings her rapier at Daruguril's sword.
Orcy The Green Wonder 12-31-07, 11:46 AM	Draguril spins his blade, slashing down across Adrelial's body when she leaves herself open. Even as the blade cuts into her flesh his blade spins once more, catching the rapier at an angle and parrying it off to the side. He laughs, spinning his sword through motions before once again pressing the attack. Slashing at Adrelial with a number and spinning to strike at her sire as well. His blade flashes and spins swiftly, the vampires manage to dodge nearly all of his strikes. One comes uncomfortably close to Adrelial's neck, while another cuts into Gorad's side deeply. 23 damage to Adrelial (2 fire) (aoo from sunder) Sunder Parried. 11 damage to Gorad (1 fire)
DragonStrife 12-31-07, 05:10 PM	Wait, Orcy I believe that I had forgotten to read that Gorad is now flanking Draguril, so she gets +2 on attack, meaning her actual sunder check was 40, sorry I didn't notice that earlier.
demonfey02 12-31-07, 08:47 PM	(Sorry. I was visiting family, and was hoping to be able to get internet there)
demonfey02 01-02-08, 11:45 AM	(I think that was Sargatanas's time limit) After watching his foe against two others, Davar quickly moves in, before launching a flurry of attacks. Flurry: 32, 24, 30, 27 (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1449728/) Damage: 7, 15, 9, 13 (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1449731/)
Gulien 01-02-08, 03:36 PM	Gorad again strikes to bring down the usurper. Flurry of Blows: Flanking +2 to attack. 1st(1d20+14=18) 2nd(1d20+14=33) (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1449896/) Damage: Flurry of Blows 1st(3d6+12=27) 2nd(3d6+12=22) (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1449900/) Gorad again declares dodge on Drauguril.
DragonStrife 01-02-08, 03:59 PM	Adrelial seems to be taking a break from trying to break that a cursed sword Attack roll(worst yet she rolled a three :rolleyes: ) 25 (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1449910/) Damage: 17(4 frost) (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1449914/) Dodging for Draguril
Gulien 01-03-08, 09:24 PM	Gorad uses his influence over Adrelial and she attacks two more times. Adrelial's Last two attacks. (1d20+18,1d20+13=2nd[15+18=33], 3rd[15+13=28]) (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1450928/) Second attack: Rapier (2d6+8=16)2 Frost (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1450933/) Third Attack: Rapier (2d6+8=14)4 Frost (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1450937/) OOC: Dont forget you have 3 attacks per round because of your BAB.
Orcy The Green Wonder 01-04-08, 01:07 AM	Drauguril laughs at the attacks, scratching against his thick armor and undead flesh. He brings his own blade around in a slashing frenzy at those nearby, a blow landing against both Davar and Adrelial. "How could a pathetic worm like you have ever been the Lord of the Damned? This is laughable!" Adrelial takes: 25 damage (6 fire) Davar takes: 17 (1 cold, 2 fire)
DragonStrife 01-04-08, 03:52 PM	"My my, aren't we full of ourselves" she half say half mutters. Adrelial starts to sing, not any song in particular, just words and sounds that sound good together. ( :P my mission is to annoy Drauguril to no end, and hopefully not Sargantanas...)
Sargatanas 01-05-08, 01:04 AM	Sargatanas' eternal grin seems to widen for but a moment, the soft clack of his teeth float clearly through the sounds of battle. He raises his hand, eye glowing bright as he steps forward. "Oh quite cocky indeed! The mightiest fool this side of Tyrannor. There is something you have not forseen though... something you are too cocky, too foolish to realize! That... my dear naive fool... is that there is NO saftey. There is NO sanctuary for you when you are dead and gone. None will take you after this perversion... none will take you after the fool and dread thing you have become. You've become what you and yours once accused me of being... you've become a monster. A cold, unfeeling, bloodthirsty monster. The only thing that awaits you after this life is over... is rot!" Sargatanas thrusts his hand forward, slipping past the sword and brushing over his breastplate. Holy energy bursts from the Lord of the Damned's outstretched hand, flowing into the undead body of the ursurper. Touch Attack VS Drauguril (1d20+10=15) (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1452192/) Caster Level Check (1d20+10=28) (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1452193/) Damage: 100 (heal) William leaps back a step, extending his own hand. An echo begins to sound within the darkened halls, shaking the ground around the slain prince. Forcing it into the form of a spear he hurls it forward, unerringly striking the ursurper's body and exploding in a cacaphony of sound. Sound Lance (10d8=46) Caster Level (1d20+15=16) (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1452194/) Nhyris brings his weapons to bear, all of them. Sword swinging and jaws lashing, he cuts and bites at Drauguril's body. The dangling bones once part of snake-like limbs raise and lash out with their own deadly bites, less effective against a dead foe but with the renewed strength of undeath flowing through them. Attack Rolls VS Drauguril (Nhyris) (1d20+19=35, 1d20+14=25, 1d20+17=26, 1d20+12=15, 1d20+12=22) (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1452195/) Damage Rolls VS Drauguril (1d8+11=13, 1d8+11=15, 1d6+7=11, 1d4+3=5, 1d4+3=5) (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1452196/)

Gulien 01-05-08, 12:35 PM	Gorad grunts and attempts to tackle the usurper. Touch Attack: To Grapple. (1d20+18=31) (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1452387/) Grapple Check.

Orcy The Green Wonder 01-06-08, 08:06 PM	Drauguril roars in anger, pain, and hatred. Hurling those gripping him off his body he leaps behind the group. Standing in the doorway he holds his sword out infront of him, teeth grit tightly. "You... filthy... corpse! I was strong... I was skilled... until you came along. You... you will pay for all that you've done to me. If I can't kill you with some semblance of the man I once was in tact... then I will do it... as an Abomination!" Drauguril thrusts his sword into his own chest, he rises from the ground and a bubble of black energy surrounds him. The sounds of breaking bone and tearing flesh echoes disturbingly from within the dark mass.
DragonStrife 01-07-08, 06:21 AM	Adrelial growls she doesn't like the dark cloud but she hates being denied a kill. She backs up a few steps and unslings her bow aiming for the heart of the mass if it were to do something. She keeps silent though, a part from the muted growl. Her lack of wisdom gets the better of her. "You were all ready an abomination. Were you so naive not to notice. It's kind of hard not to. So, what an abomination of the undead?" She calls out her voice heard clearly across the room. "Oh and, dibs on the sword." she wispers to Sargatanas
Sargatanas 01-08-08, 01:06 PM	Sargatanas whispers the words to a spell, energy very similar to that which covers Drauguril seeps into his skin. His muscles enlarge, a growling echo following. "Adrelial... watch your mouth. You're one of us now yourself. I'm interested ta see what this boys going to be pulling out here... has been quite some time since I've seen anyone take in this much negative energy. Almost like hes givin himself over to the forces that animate him... fascinating, but also... gonna hurt." William weaves his own spell, his body shifting and changing into a bear-like form. His muscles as well bulge and claws grow from the back of his rotting hands. His roar echoes throughout the temple, and he takes up his greatsword with a frightening eagerness. Nhyris slithers up infront of Sargatanas and takes up a defensive posture, sword held forward infront of him. "I don't like the sssmell of thiss..."
DragonStrife 01-08-08, 02:52 PM	She keeps her mouth shut and nods her head keeping a weary eye on Draugril. "I am ready if need be." She says quietly her bow aimed at the middle of he mass. She stands slightly in fount of Sargatanas but of to the side to get a clear shot at the negative energy thingy.
Orcy The Green Wonder 01-09-08, 01:27 AM	((Orcy will be posting Drauguril's next actions tomorrow, so those of you who haven't taken a turn do so.))
demonfey02 01-09-08, 02:12 AM	(oh.) Davar turns invisible. Probably best to try and catch it off guard, after all...
Gulien 01-09-08, 04:36 PM	Gorad takes full defense and declares dodge on the blob thing/drauguril.
Orcy The Green Wonder 01-09-08, 07:30 PM	The black field shimmers a few times then explodes outward, dark shards flying in all directions and piercing everything they touch with a corrupting energy, even the dead can feel the pain. Revealed in the center of the mass is what can only be described as a monstrosity. It's face has the barest of a humanoid shape. The mouth however is wide, and split in two direction. It roars, a sound that resembles thousands screaming, and it's mouth opens in four directions, revealing hundreds of razor sharp teeth. Arms covered with grey flesh end fused into what were each once the blades of Drauguril's sword. The legs bend backwards and split off at the ends into a pair of clawed toes. A grotesque tail swings up into the air, a spiked tip topping it's end. The huge creature roars once more and brings it's blade-arms infront of itself. Everyone takes 19 damage (10 if you are undead).
DragonStrife 01-09-08, 07:52 PM	Adrelial says a few choice curses in Abbysal before calming down. "Take him out? Oh, and he's not living right?" she asks Sarganatas she's ready for combat, though she is slowed from the damage. Her arrow is flaming, but not burning to ash. Initiative: 26 (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1457585/) Dodge against Beasty
demonfey02 01-11-08, 12:21 AM	(Quick mention: I'm going to be out of town for a few days, so I'm just warning you now if my turn comes up, I might not be able to go. Also posting actions...) ...If anyone else has a stronger form, now's probably a good time to use it. Davar moves away from where he had been standing before, hopefully suitably far enough from the group to be out of any area effects. (move 50 ft back from Drauguril, if I'm not around when my next turn comes up, full defensive and combat expertise for +6)
Sargatanas 01-11-08, 12:46 AM	Sargatanas' eternal grin almost widens for a moment. He laughs loudly and begins speaking the words to an arcane spell. He quickly weaves the magical energies into a spell and upon the last word his body falls to the ground. Inside a particular nearby gem, Sargatanas attempts to force the remnants of his soul into the beast's body. Magic Jar, Save DC 22 Caster Level Check (1d20+15=30) (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1458600/) William takes the opportunity to charge forward, his sword arcing toward the monster's body in a wide slash. Should Sargatanas fail... it would be good to at least get started on the beast. William attack VS beastie (1d20+30=38, 2d6+19=25) (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1458632/) Nhyris stays near Sargatanas' body, his blade up in a defensive posture, watching the creature warily. ((Still in the same order I'm guessin since it only took a turn ta change))
Gulien 01-11-08, 12:55 AM	Gorad approaches and punches at the beast. Attack (1d20+15=35) (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1459361/) Damage (3d6+12=25) (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1459362/) Dodge against it ofcourse.
DragonStrife 01-11-08, 04:44 PM	Adrelial losses 3 flaming arrows toward Beasty 1st attack:32 2nd attack:22 3rd attack:32 (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1459114/) Damage: 1st arrow: 7 (5 fire) 2nd arrow: 10 (7 fire) 3rd arrow: 7 (1 fire) (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1459115/)
Orcy The Green Wonder 01-11-08, 11:38 PM	The creature shakes off each of the attacks, and spells without much apparent trouble. Only Gorad's strike seems to make it through the creature's thick skin. Roaring at the small creatures striking at it, the beast lifts it's massive arms. Swinging down at different opponents with each limb. Gorad and Adrelial are both struck by it's claws, while it's tail is thrust into William's chest. Gorad takes 33 damage and 3 fire damage. Adrelial takes 37 damage and 11 cold damage. William takes 23 damage.
DragonStrife 01-12-08, 09:11 AM	Adrelial grimises and withdraws ten feet to the side of Sarganatas or however far foe her to be out of range. Finds a wall then climbs on to the celling and finds a safe vantage point to fire at beasty. (Sorry I know I'm out of turn but I won't be on for most of the day. A quick question, because she was back with Sarganatas and Nhryis, is she in meele combat? Thanks.)
Sargatanas 01-14-08, 12:19 AM	Sargatanas' body grumbles as it slinks back and stands up, shaking his head after the failure of his spell and waving a hand at the beast. "Kill the filthy thing." William raises his blade and swings at the monster. Slashing repeatedly he goes into a frenzy of whirrling blades. When he is finished with his slashes he leans forward and bites at the monster with his newfound jaws. Attacks against Drauguril (1d20+25=34, 1d20+20=26, 1d20+15=21, 1d20+19=32) (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1460805/) Nhyris charges forward at the creature, twirling his great scimitar around and slashing at the body of the beast. Charge Attack (1d20+21=40) (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1460808/) Charge Damage (1d8+11=13) (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1460809/)
demonfey02 01-14-08, 02:58 PM	(Orcy, what would you rule to be needed to jump on top of this thing's back and hold on to its eyes? Jump and balance checks, maybe a grapple in there?)
Sargatanas 01-16-08, 02:02 AM	(Since he ain't sayin anything, I'm guessin it's like trying ta block somethin's mouth. You gotta grapple it and pin it ta do it. You can stop things from castin spells by covering their mouths that way, so why not eyes?)
DragonStrife 01-16-08, 06:28 AM	(Harder to aim when you can't see)
Orcy The Green Wonder 01-16-08, 07:11 PM	(Sargatanas is right, to block someones eyes you either need a blind spell or something of the sort, or you would need to pin him and cover the eyes.)
Gulien 01-17-08, 01:19 AM	Gorad grunts as he is struck by the claw. Where previously in the fight his wounds have healed quickly they are now open and dripping with the black ichor that is his blood. He takes his cloak and wraps it around himself. With a grunted command word he sinks into the stone at his feet. Gorad activates his Cloak of Stone's meld into stone ability.
DragonStrife 01-17-08, 02:33 PM	Adrelial's lack of maturity prompts her next action "You know, I still am clueless about what a living person, live, not undead, is fighting for the right to rule over undead." She looks to the hoards of undead below her. "You see, he has just crafted an illusion around his body, to disguise his fleashyness. He doesn't trust any of you. So I ask you why is he fit to be your lord and master?" (If she can she will fire arrows and him as well, the attack rolls are included) Bluff: 28 (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1464649/) (If it was a natural 20, he would have been a duck :D. All right, I am confused, in the PHB, talking is a free action, so I don't know if she can attack, I included the attacks and damage just in case.) Attack Rolls for bow: 1st attack: 31 2nd attack: 25 3rd attack: 24 (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1464668/) Damage from arrows: 1st attack: 15 (9 fire damage) 2nd attack:8 (4 fire) 3rd attack:6 (1 fire) (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1464671/)
demonfey02 01-17-08, 02:36 PM	(She can talk all she wants and still fight, unless she goes on a Vaarsuvius-style and length rant.)
Orcy The Green Wonder 01-20-08, 01:13 AM	The abomination ignores it's wounds as they begin to heal themselves. Turning it's attention to focus on Adrelial and William it slashes at Adrelial with it's long clawed arms. It's jaws and tail strike toward William as one, the tail peirces William's chest, but the jaws tear up only ground. Adrelial does not fare as well however, both claws ripping into her body. It's roar at the new scent of dark blood in the air is ear splitting. 33 damage and 7 fire to Adrelial 36 damage and 4 cold to Adrelial 24 damage to William
Sargatanas 01-20-08, 01:43 AM	Sargatanas grumbles, drawing a white cudgel from a black bag at his belt. He charges forward, swinging the cudgel at the creature's body with a suprisingly practiced ease. His red eye shines in the dim flames that flicker around the battle, a dark, faded light shines from the broken holy symbol of Afflux on an altar to the side of the room. Attack and Damage (1d20+23=40, 1d8+7=15) (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1467189/) William's muscles bulge and flex, the hole from the abominations assault begining to heal itself immediately. He grips his sword tightly, spinning it around over his head to gain momentum before slashing at the beast's body. Cutting a gouge into the abomination he brings the blade around once more, slicing into it's body. A third thrust, missing, before he lunges in and clamps his undead jaws down one of it's limbs, tearing it's flesh away. Attacks (sword/bite) (1d20+28=46, 1d20+23=36, 1d20+8=21, 1d20+24=34) (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1467190/) Damage (2d6+20=24, 2d6+20=25, 2d8+9=18) (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1467191/) Nhyris as well lets loose, slashing and biting at the monstrosity with everything he has in him. Which is not much seeing as one can see visibly through the skeletal body. Still, his blade and jaws slash and snap. Attacks (sword) (1d20+20=38, 1d20+15=28) (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1467192/) Natural Attacks (1d20+20=37, 1d20+15=18, 1d20+15=29) (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1467196/) Damage (1d8+12=17, 1d6+8=14) (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1467198/)
DragonStrife 01-21-08, 08:10 PM	(Uh Orcy, what's the range on this thing. Adrelial is a good 60ft away from him, sorry I hadn't mentioned that earlier. Thanks.)
demonfey02 01-22-08, 01:13 AM	As Davar watches invisibly, he can tell things will not end well. The beast is simply too strong to fight head on the way they are, it's form too alien to identify its abilities. As such, he's been quietly watching, trying to figure out how to hold it. Then, he remembers an important detail: We're inside...and we don't necessarily need that roof... Without waiting further, Davar moves up to it-and above, as he takes flight*. He stops just before hitting the wall. Hey! Up here, you pile of bones!...and claws and teeth and things that I can't quite tell the function of. Live meat! He returns to visibility too. *Double move to be about 30 feet up and 50 feet to where I was originally
Gulien 01-22-08, 03:23 PM	Gorad stays in the stone.
DragonStrife 01-22-08, 04:00 PM	Adrelial tries to rally the undead minions below again and fails miserably (apparently insulting them doesn't help), while firing from her spot on the celling 60ft away from beastie. Diplomacy: 6 (nat 1) (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1469619/) Attacks- Attack 1: 33 Attack 2:28 Attack 3: 24 (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1469614/) Damage- Attack 1 damage: 8 (7 fire) Attack 2 damage: 4 (3 fire) Attack 3 damage: 9 (6 fire) (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1469617/)
Orcy The Green Wonder 01-23-08, 02:26 PM	((Orcy didn't realize that you'd moved, he appoligizes and shall redirect those attacks to Nhyris)) The abomination roars in pain. It thrusts an arm into the ground and rises it's massive body upward, spinning it's entire form around and slashing with it's free arm. The blade slices across all of those nearby, Nhyris, Sargatanas, and William are left with gashes where the arm strikes. William, Nhyris, and Sargatanas take 33 damage and an additional 9 fire.
Sargatanas 01-23-08, 02:43 PM	Sargatanas continues his attack, swinging his cudgel at the monster infront of him. The divine power of his god guides his mace, but the monster's hide is extremely thick in most places. One blow has luck and catches it in the jaw. Attacks (1d20+21=28, 1d20+16=31, 1d20+11=15, 1d20+6=15) (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1470531/) Damage (1d8+7=9) (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1470541/) William, struck by the monster but healing slowly from his dead body's natural abilities, raises his blade into the air. The blade begins to shimmer with energy as he swings down at the monster while it is off balance from it's spin. He follows with another set of slashes and hacks before attempting to rip it open with his jaws. Each of his blows lands hard on the creature's thick hide. William Attacks (first with arcane strike 6) (1d20+35=45, 1d20+24=43, 1d20+19=33, 1d20+24=37) (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1470554/) Damage (2d6+6d4+20=43, 2d6+20=26, 2d6+20=26, 2d8+7=13) (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1470556/) Nhyris quickly slithers away from the monster, withdrawing from the battle. His boney body shattered in many places from the attacks, barely keeping itself together. The Lord of the Damned looks over his shoulder, his gem covered eye flashing dangerously. He looks up to the air and shouts over the sounds of battle. "Stop dancing around and kill it you cowards!"
DragonStrife 01-23-08, 03:58 PM	"Try fire, my lord, whacking it only seems to make it cranky." she growls
demonfey02 01-23-08, 07:34 PM	I was hoping it'd take the bait and then be able to use it's own strength against it in making it cave in the roof above it, but apparently it's too distracted already! With that, Davar drops down, unleashing a flurry of kicks at the monstrosity. Rolls: 26, 25, 20, 18 (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1470881/) ...unfortunately, the creature's hide is incredibly thick.
DragonStrife 01-26-08, 08:46 PM	She grumbles and fires more arrows Attacks 1st: 33 2nd: 32 3rd: 32 (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1473972/) Damage 1st: 12 (9 fire) 2nd:13 (9 fire) 3rd: 11 (6 fire) (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1473975/) (Dodge for beastie, I keep forgetting -.-')
Orcy The Green Wonder 01-26-08, 09:24 PM	The arrows sink into the monster's thick hide and their flame burns into it's flesh. Most simply scratch it and leave scorch marks, but a single shot finds it's way deep into one of the beast's open wounds. It's body convulses and it twists and shrieks. Tilting it's head back it screams it's anger and disappointment to the heavens, then, as soon as it had come to be... it falls to the ground and moves no more.
demonfey02 01-27-08, 01:12 AM	... Davar pokes it. Well, congrats, you managed to put it down. Now, immolation, or dismemberment and scattering the pieces across a large area?
DragonStrife 01-27-08, 08:39 AM	Adelial flies downward as a bat and return to her normal form upon landing. "I vote that we burn the body to ash."
Sargatanas 01-27-08, 01:38 PM	Sargatanas directs William to it's head, turning and looking upon the throne. He approaches slowly, walking over to run a rotting hand over the smooth stone. He turns and seats himself slowly on the throne, laughing loud and hard. Sargatanas' eternal smile widens ever so slightly, arms raising in triumph. "Yes.... YES! The throne is mine once more... the Temple is mine!" William hacks the head off the downed monster, turning as Sargatanas sits. He drops to a knee, setting the tip of his sword into the stone and bowing his head to Sargatanas. Nhyris, likewise lowers himself down and bows his head.
Orcy The Green Wonder 01-27-08, 04:44 PM	As the head is removed the body starts to burn with black flames. The remains of the monster start to melt and pool on the floor, drying out and falling into dust. In the center of the dust, the remnants of the monster's arms lay. Two blades rest in the ashes, each of them bearing a piece of bone extending from the bottom that could easily act as a handle.
DragonStrife 01-27-08, 05:25 PM	"Forget the sword." she mumbles under her breath "Let's see what else is here." She walks up to the throne and bows to Sarganatas, "My I have permission to loot ash-boy's stuff, my lord? Or would you rather I dismember his old advisers?" A grin creeps across her face as she looks out of the corner of her eye for the person that lead them to this room.
demonfey02 01-27-08, 11:02 PM	Davar picks up the blades, looking them over. Whichever you choose, the other should probably go to snake boy. Good to see Nhyris became useful in death. He goes towards the throne, and bows before the Once and Present Lord of the Damned before straightening.
Orcy The Green Wonder 01-28-08, 12:33 AM	The strange man that had lead you into the room, though you are sure he stood near the entrance for the entire fight, is gone. In his place rests a small leather-bound book that appears beaten and quite well battered.
DragonStrife 01-28-08, 11:18 AM	Adrlial looks at the book and pokes it with the tip of her rapier to see what it does.
Gulien 01-28-08, 11:36 AM	Gorad rises from the stone he had sank into during the fight and approaches the throne. Kneeling before the Lord of the Damned he lowers his head. "My apologies for my performance during the battle, Lord. " Turning to Adrelial he stands and speaks. "Careful my child. We know not what traps the usurper and his ilk left in case he should fall."
Sargatanas 01-28-08, 02:00 PM	Sargatanas shakes his head, slapping palm to forehead and muttering. "For the love of Afflux, you're undead! Vampires! You don't DIE. Keep the coffin safe and you'll never truely fall in battle. Bring the book to me, its just a damn book." Sargatanas shakes his head, muttering under his breath. "I've never seen undead act so much like the living."
DragonStrife 01-28-08, 06:12 PM	"Quite frankly my lord, I did not like my stay in hell enough to go back. Vampires are only safe as long as their coffins are safe if this explodes with a large enough charge I'm dead dead. My background has taught me to be careful of anything left after a Coup de tat. They are normally trapped or poisoned or both." She shishcurbobs the book on to her rapier and drops them both at Sarganatas's feet. " People don't mysteriously leave with out a reason, may I have permission to track the ex-escorter down, Lord Sarganatas of the Dead and Damned?" She looks nervous, shifting her weight from one foot to the other.
demonfey02 01-28-08, 11:50 PM	Tossing the two scimitars to Nhyris for the moment, before picking up the book. Removing the rapier and tossing it to Adrilal, he says You're undead. Live a little. Worst this'll do is blow up in your face, after all. Or mine, as the case may be. With that, he flips the book to a random page and reads "I prepared explosive runes thi..." Just kidding. But seriously, hide your coffin, and then you're safe. With that, he looks through the book, away from the scared undead.
Gulien 01-30-08, 12:00 PM	I take it from the Temple of the Damned on the main page that we should start to post there. So im gonna.
