(08:03:09 PM) Eric entered the room.
(08:03:15 PM) Drew entered the room.
(08:04:13 PM) KoshiirRaCor: Sophie pulls her hand away from Felix and kicks him in the crotch.
(08:06:34 PM) KoshiirRaCor: Trunac replies to Aiolos "I had my suspicions, and apparently they were true. Whats surprising is Daask attacking here, we aren't affiliated with Boromar or the Tyrants. Any idea when they will attack?"
(08:06:52 PM) Laharl01: "Tonight, that's all I know."
(08:09:26 PM) KoshiirRaCor: Trunac thinks for a minute, "Well, closing early would cause a panic and probably tip Daask off that we know something"
(08:10:53 PM) Laharl01: "Probably, yes."
(08:11:29 PM) KoshiirRaCor: "So, what do you reccomend?"
(08:11:50 PM) KoshiirRaCor: Felix falls over on the ground, writing in pain
(08:12:19 PM) KoshiirRaCor: *writhting
(08:12:23 PM) Laharl01: "I recommend that you have business as normal, just with a few extra bouncers."
(08:12:25 PM) KoshiirRaCor: *writhing
(08:12:40 PM) KoshiirRaCor: "I assume you are volunteering to be an extra bouncer?
(08:13:32 PM) Laharl01: "Yep, I imagine the cap'n and some of the others would be willing to help out too."
(08:14:14 PM) KoshiirRaCor: "I assume they would. Do you want to tell them?"
(08:14:37 PM) Laharl01: "Nah, it's your bar. I'll let you do the honors."
(08:15:25 PM) KoshiirRaCor: "Nope, too busy manning the bar."
(08:16:30 PM) Laharl01: "Alright, if you insist." Aiolos walks back downstairs.
(08:16:50 PM) KoshiirRaCor: Trunac follows him down and goes back to working the bar
(08:23:43 PM) KoshiirRaCor: Felix gets up and goes inside mumbling under his breath. He starts looking around for a bag of ice.
(08:24:46 PM) Eric: "hehehe, Do try and be a bit gentler with my crew in the future please. A simple no would suffice."
(08:25:34 PM) KoshiirRaCor: "Sorry, reflex," Sophie says
(08:26:58 PM) Eric: "Well, now your reflex is going to cost me a good mug of ale. Now lets go get me one for myself too."
(08:27:05 PM) Eric: Manta then enters the bar.
(08:27:10 PM) Dai entered the room.
(08:27:51 PM) Laharl01: When Manta enters the bar, Aiolos motions him, Felix, and Calen into a back room. "Quick chat, if you guys don't mind?"
(08:28:36 PM) KoshiirRaCor: Sophie follows Manta into the inn/tavern and takes a seat at the bar.
(08:28:44 PM) Drew: "Certainly." Calen responds, draining the rest of his ale and moving towards Aiolos.
(08:30:18 PM) Eric: "Aiolos, Let me get a mug of SOMETHING before we start talking buisness. Trunac, what you got?"
(08:30:47 PM) Laharl01: Aiolos shrugs. "Alright, we've got a fair amount of time anyway."
(08:31:12 PM) KoshiirRaCor: Trunac pours him a mug of Trunac Stout, "Ye think ye can handle it?"
(08:31:30 PM) Eric: "You know I can, silly dwarf."
(08:31:40 PM) KoshiirRaCor: "We'll see about that"
(08:31:50 PM) Eric: Manta grabs the mug takes a sip, smiles, then walks into the room Aiolos just entered.
(08:34:17 PM) Unable to send message: The message is too large.
(08:34:34 PM) Unable to send message: The message is too large.
(08:34:43 PM) Laharl01: Once the party has assembled in the room, Aiolos begins to speak. "You may or may not know that I work for Boromar. We've received reliable intel that this bar will be hit tonight by Daask at some point.
(08:34:55 PM) Laharl01: As a representative of Boromar, I've got certain intelligence-gathering responsibilities. As such, I've volunteered as an extra bouncer for tonight. Would you all be willing to join me? Oh, and make sure one survives."
(08:35:55 PM) Drew: "I am not familiar with this Daask, fellow. Who is he?"
(08:36:17 PM) Eric: "Yeah, I'm up for a good fight. A strong reputation calls forth strong crew. but a Survivor? Why?"
(08:38:18 PM) Laharl01: "Daask is a newcomer syndicate that's been quite aggressive lately. They tend to use rather more muscular tactics than we at Boromar."
(08:41:13 PM) Drew: "You will have to pardon me. I am not of this nation, nor this continent. As such, I now not of this Boromar either."
(08:42:17 PM) Laharl01: "Sorry, Sharn and its affairs loom so large in the minds of those of us who live here that we can't imagine anyone not knowing of them. The Boromar Syndicate is Sharn's oldest and most powerful organized crime group."
(08:42:43 PM) Drew: "Ah."
(08:44:06 PM) Eric: "Alright, so now that we know why we're being attacked, why are we letting one of them live? You wanna interrogate him?"
(08:44:59 PM) Drew: "Though I do not delight in the notion of making the affairs of either of these families my own, I do you all a debt for my rescue."
(08:45:19 PM) Drew: "If this be what you wish to ask of me, then my fists are yours."
(08:45:58 PM) KoshiirRaCor left the room.
(08:47:03 PM) Laharl01: "I have a tracking device we can pin on him, as well as a recording device if I get the chance. Interrogation is always a possibility, though I'd rather leave nothing linking us to Boromar."
(08:47:58 PM) Eric: well, we don't have to release him after we interrogate him
(08:48:24 PM) Eric: "Or we could offer him the chance to defect. I could use a strong crew member."
(08:49:20 PM) Laharl01: "I suppose that one's up to you, though he's not likely to be too inclined."
(08:51:19 PM) Eric: "eh alright. One survivor it is. Should I send for Nemo, or you think we can handle it? I don't wanna get my rookies involved here."
(08:51:37 PM) Marty entered the room.
(08:53:30 PM) Laharl01: "Honestly, I'm not sure we'll need Nemo. It should be fairly straightforward, in all honesty. Let them come in, get the drop on them, "convince" them to leave, possibly with the application of force."
(08:55:14 PM) Drew: "Hmm. I may be able to help you if you intend to surprise them."
(08:55:58 PM) Drew: "These gauntlets I wear allow me control light within about 80 feet."
(08:56:26 PM) Drew: "I can make the area as dark as obsidian, or as bright as a beacon."
(08:57:19 PM) Laharl01: "An interesting thought. Darkness is out, most of Daask's toughs are hobgobins and other such races that see just fine in the dark. The bright light...that has possibilities, though."
(08:58:17 PM) Drew: "The light I speak of was what was gave our position out to you in the water." Calen said with a hint of a smile.
(09:01:00 PM) Laharl01: "Oh. Yes, that will do very well, as long as the rest of us have sufficient warning to close our eyes."
(09:01:44 PM) Drew: "I'll yell 'exalt' when I'm about to do it."
(09:02:28 PM) Laharl01: "Very well, then. Anyone else have any ideas?"
(09:03:37 PM) Eric: "nope, should be a fun night." Manta says as he takes a drink from his tankard
(09:06:59 PM) Drew: Calen establishes a mindlink between him and Aiolos.
(09:07:25 PM) Drew: This might come in hands.I
(09:08:34 PM) Laharl01: Aiolos jumps about a foot in the air. "How in the name of the Dark Six did you do that? Your lips didn't move, yet I heard you clearly."
(09:11:22 PM) Drew: It is merely an ability my people of cultivated over the millennia. I cannot sense anything beyond what you choose to tell me.
(09:11:40 PM) Eric: Manta casts Detect Magic
(09:12:15 PM) Marty: Manta detects the presence of magic
(09:12:29 PM) Marty: (obviously)
(09:12:53 PM) Laharl01: A-a-all right, I guess.
(09:13:15 PM) Drew: Once our encounter is decided. I shall break the link.
(09:13:57 PM) Laharl01: Okay.
(09:14:05 PM) Eric: Manta focuses on Aiolos, then Calen. Trying to figure out what's going on.
(09:15:11 PM) Drew: Your friend looks curious. Feel free to tell him, if you wish. Calen said, walking away.
(09:15:13 PM) Marty: Manta detects magic auras around Aiolos and Calen.
(09:15:22 PM) Marty: A bunch of magic auras
(09:15:37 PM) Laharl01: "Calen's people have the ability to speak with others through their minds, it would appear."
(09:16:27 PM) Drew: Besides, how else will I know when to activate the beacon?
(09:16:52 PM) Laharl01: Now that is a good point.
(09:16:53 PM) Eric: "huh. I may have to talk to Felix and see if I can get some sorta counterattack if he tries that at a bad time."
(09:20:33 PM) Eric: Manta then finishes his drink, and returns to the bar to ask Trunac for another, before sitting down next to Sophie
(09:20:52 PM) Marty: (make a fort save squall)
(09:21:25 PM) Eric: (fort save 27)
(09:21:37 PM) Marty: (you passed the save)
(09:26:13 PM) Marty: Sophie finishes her ale and asks Trunac for another one.
(09:28:20 PM) Eric: after she's had her second ale, "so how much sailing have you done?"
(09:29:48 PM) Marty: She puts down her ale, "I was stationed at the Karrnathi Naval detachment in Stormreach since the end of the War"
(09:32:17 PM) Eric: "Oh really? How about you Bartz? Wedge?"
(09:33:19 PM) Marty: "We just graduated from the Academy, Sir. However, the four of us all have went through basic training on naval vessels in Scion's Sound before it froze over."
(09:33:41 PM) Eric: hmmm
(09:37:34 PM) Eric: "You ever see a ship breath fire?"
(09:38:10 PM) Marty: "I was stationed in Xen'drik. I've seen quite a lot of strange things."
(09:39:51 PM) Eric: "Yes, but have you seen the ship under your feet come alive, and the headpiece move infront of you, and roar, before spewing fire into the air and across the water?"
(09:41:09 PM) Marty: "You mean a Draconic Figurehead? Yeah, we saw them occasionally on ships that the Seren Barbarians would sail over to Stormreach in to trade once or twice a year."
(09:43:20 PM) Marty: "I've never seen that Sir, and I'm pretty sure none of the other three have either," Wedge said as he finished his ale.
(09:48:40 PM) Eric: "Well, then I think I'll have Nemo take you out as it's getting dark, and you can give Sharn a fun little demonstration. Keep the night alive huh?"
(09:52:52 PM) Marty: "Sounds entertaining, Sir." Bartz says, putting down his empty tankard.
(09:55:22 PM) Eric: "Actually, speaking of the ship, I need some of this ale stored there, and should probably get some for the house."
(09:56:15 PM) Eric: "Do you three mind going and grabbing a cart while I speak with trunac over a fair price?
(09:56:23 PM) Eric: "
(09:57:19 PM) Eric: *editing above statement*
(09:58:01 PM) Eric: "Sophie, you mind going to the harbor and help Nemo get ready to set out tonight and make room for the delivery?"
(09:59:24 PM) Eric: "Bartz, I need you to go and get a cart or something to transport the kegs."
(09:59:36 PM) Marty: "Sure thing Captain," Sophie replies as she heads for the exit.
(10:00:08 PM) Eric: "Wedge, you're in charge of making sure those two back home have cleared out room for the two kegs that are going there."
(10:00:26 PM) Marty: Bartz and Wedge respond "Roger" and head for the door.
(10:01:47 PM) Eric: Manta haggles with Trunac over 4 kegs of ale.
(10:03:57 PM) Marty: Time dissolves into a blur as the DM warps Eberron's space-time continuum like some kind of black hole for the sake of expediting this. Trunac and Manta reach an agreement over the ale and Bartz returns with a cart.
(10:04:00 PM) Marty: The ale is loaded onto it and he heads back to the HQ. Meanwhile, patrons come and go. It is about 9PM now, the band is still playing, and the patrons are still lively.
(10:08:27 PM) Marty: SUDDENLY (jarring chord in soundtrack)
(10:10:28 PM) Marty: Suddenly a huge crashing noise is heard, and Fist - the Warforged bonucer - is sent flying into the tavern by some unknown force.
(10:10:47 PM) Laharl01: "Look alive, everyone! They're here!"
(10:10:51 PM) Marty: A loud maniacal laugh is heard echoing from the entrance "MUAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA"
(10:11:02 PM) Drew: It begins.
(10:11:10 PM) Marty: (ROLL INITIATIVES!)
(10:11:12 PM) Eric: "I've heard that one before."
(10:11:17 PM) Drew: Calen says, standing from his seat.
(10:22:13 PM) Marty: (up first, dave)
(10:23:08 PM) Laharl01: Aiolos calls out "Do you have something you wish to say, or are you just going to stand there laughing like a lunatic?"
(10:23:32 PM) Marty: "Fool!" the voice shouts back.
(10:23:53 PM) Marty: "You shall pay for your insolence!"
(10:24:32 PM) Laharl01: "I only pay in two currencies: gold, and kicking ass. And I'm all out of gold."
(10:27:56 PM) Laharl01: Aiolos calls out to the bar's patrons in a fairly low voice. "Everyone, I recommend you move away from the door quickly, and do not panic."
(10:28:35 PM) Marty: (another jarring chord in the soundtrack!)
(10:29:06 PM) Marty: Suddenly, four chicken-like creatures come flying in through the entrance and charge random patrons.
(10:29:24 PM) Marty: (correction, Rooster-Like)
(10:29:30 PM) Laharl01: Aiolos blinks, wondering to himself if Daask has lost its collective mind.
(10:29:56 PM) Marty: The creatures savagely bite four patrons, who quickly freeze in place and take on a grayish hue.
(10:30:29 PM) Marty: (Drew, thou art up)
(10:32:01 PM) Drew: Calen moves forward, turning his bracers to face away from him, and yelling "EXALT"
(10:32:35 PM) Drew: In an instant, a bright blast of light cloaks the room (DC 14 vs. blindness).
(10:34:01 PM) Marty: 3 of the Cockatrices squawk loudly and begin to peck randomly around them, while the fourth appears to have been looking the other way.
(10:34:37 PM) Marty: The voice from the door shouts "Is that all you've got? Fancy light shows?"
(10:34:55 PM) Laharl01: "That was just a warmup. Why don't you come in here and see for yourself exactly what we have?"
(10:35:15 PM) Eric: "Not all light is harmless."
(10:35:29 PM) Marty: "Silence maggot! You shall receive your due punishment very soon!"
(10:35:53 PM) Marty: (Felix is up)
(10:36:11 PM) Marty: (disregard)
(10:36:48 PM) Drew: After the bright flash, Calen calls forth a shield of force around himself, and prepares for battle. (Standard for Force Shield).
(10:36:57 PM) Marty: (Felix is up)
(10:37:17 PM) Marty: A decent amount of the patrons also appear to have been blinded by the light.
(10:38:53 PM) Eric: "This is it? I hunted these for fun when I was a kitten!" Felix calls as he leaps forth and attacks the unblinded bird.
(10:40:15 PM) Marty: (25 hits)
(10:40:20 PM) Marty: (roll damage)
(10:40:57 PM) Eric: Attack: 25, damage:10
(10:42:00 PM) Marty: The rooster-like creature crows loudly as Felix's blade slices into a wing, but it remains airborne.
(10:42:12 PM) Marty: (next: Trunac)
(10:43:48 PM) Marty: Trunac screams "NOBODY ATTACKS MAH TAVERN!" and leaps over the bar to attack a rooster-thing.
(10:44:11 PM) Marty: (23 hits)
(10:45:00 PM) Marty: (18 damage, 6 cold, ZOMGMAX)
(10:45:45 PM) Marty: The creature crows loudly as Trunac's axe slices deep into its side, freezing the wound as it goes.
(10:46:54 PM) Marty: The bards on the stage dive for cover backstage, taking their instruments with them.
(10:47:44 PM) Marty: The barmaids all scramble into the kitchen.
(10:48:27 PM) Marty: The remaining 2 employees draw implements of combat from hidden places as Fist pulls himself back to his feet.
(10:49:10 PM) Marty: A loud crashing noise is heard, and a stream of goblins erupts from one of the windows facing the street!
(10:49:42 PM) Marty: (Squall: thou art up)
(10:51:50 PM) Eric: "You think that quantity matters?" *pew pew laser noises!* Eldritch blast at the wounded bird. Touch:24, damage 25
(10:54:03 PM) Marty: The blast of eldritch power flies towards the bird and collides with a sickening "plop"
(10:54:16 PM) Marty: The bird's body explodes in a gooey, bloody mess.
(10:55:56 PM) Eric: Manta then stands up (thats right, the shot was from sitting down!) "I can do that ALL day long." he says with a grin
(10:57:02 PM) Marty: Suddenly (yes, i like that word), a large figure erupts from the entryway and charges towards Aiolos
(11:00:03 PM) Marty: The figure is a hulking brute wielding a large greatsword, it charges into Aiolos and swings its sword wildly, slashing Aiolos brutally.
(11:01:08 PM) Marty: (damage: 35 damage)
(11:01:43 PM) Laharl01: Aiolos is bleeding pretty hard after that, and he'd really rather not get hit like that again...
(11:01:45 PM) Marty: "Fool! That is what you get for your insolence to Tozogg!"
(11:02:05 PM) Laharl01: "Ah...shut it ya big lug."
(11:02:19 PM) Marty: (Aiolos also has a -1 to AC right now)
(11:02:51 PM) Dai left the room.
(11:03:57 PM) Marty: After that savage attack, Tozogg is followed by a swarm of larger goblins (educated know them as Hobgoblins)
(11:05:16 PM) Marty: The crowd in the room is now in a state of panic, with the run of the mill patrons running for the exits from the room,
(11:05:17 PM) Marty: and the adventurers in the room reaching for weapons which are supposed to be kept sheathed according to Sharn Law.
(11:05:55 PM) Marty: (Dave is up)
(11:07:43 PM) Unable to send message: The message is too large.
(11:07:55 PM) Laharl01: Aiolos, realizing he's in real danger of death (and is now clearly acting in self-defense), pulls his sword, tumbling around the ogre to wind up on the far side of it from Calen.
(11:07:56 PM) Laharl01: I could use a hand here...He then stabs viciously at the ogre.
(11:10:08 PM) Marty: Your blade finds a chink in the ogre's plate armor and penetrates, but does not seem to deal as much damage as you thought it would.
(11:10:29 PM) Laharl01: Aiolos swears viciously.
(11:13:26 PM) Marty: The birds peck randomly around them, but can't hit any targets in their blind rage
(11:13:37 PM) Marty: (Drew, thou art up)
(11:17:19 PM) Drew: Noticing the opening given to him by Aiolos, Calen sent a charge of psionic power into his gauntlets, and, in an instant, surged up to the ogre...
(11:18:08 PM) Drew: (free action to charge deep crystals, swift for Psionic Lion's Charge, full action full attack/charge)
(11:23:35 PM) Marty: Calen's claws rip through the exposed flesh of the brute, leaving deep wounds in its hide.
(11:23:53 PM) Marty: (next: Felix)
(11:24:09 PM) Marty: (who is currently next to an exploded cockatrice)
(11:25:33 PM) Eric: Felix moves into flanking position with Trunac, and lets loose with his Courtblade
(11:26:58 PM) Marty: The creature explodes in a gory mess reminiscent of a chicken being sent through a room full of bladed traps. Like that one in the temple of Kha'sha'zhul.
(11:27:17 PM) Marty: (next: Trunac)
(11:27:49 PM) Marty: Trunac turns around and charges towards the ogre, slashing savagely at the brute with his axes,
(11:29:17 PM) Marty: (nat 1, crit threat (does not confirm but hits), nat 20 (does not confirm), o_O second nat 20 (nat 20 to confirm, does not auto-kill))
(11:30:19 PM) Marty: (nat 1 result: backswing)
(11:30:35 PM) Marty: Trunac's first swing is brought back too far and he bashes himself in the back of the head.
(11:33:35 PM) Marty: (14 damage, 14 damage, 48 damage, target sickened for 3 rounds)
(11:34:10 PM) Marty: The ogre falls over snoring loudly.
(11:35:46 PM) Marty: The employees look bolstered by the fall of the brute, and charge headlong into the oncoming wave of goblins and hobgoblins, hacking, bashing, and spellcasting their way through
(11:36:18 PM) Marty: The goblins attempt to stand their ground, but are having trouble withstanding the assault.
(11:36:23 PM) Marty: (Squall, thou art up)
(11:38:24 PM) Eric: "Look upon your leader! He has fallen! So shall you if you stay to fight. Go, and you might be spared." *Arcane energy is growing around Manta's right hand* (Intimidate check 28)
(11:42:57 PM) Marty: The goblins look at you and fear grows over their faces. Some of them flee out of the window, and others drop their weapons and prostrate themselves on the floor.
(11:43:40 PM) Marty: (call it 50/50 for the ratio of those that fled and those that didnt
(11:44:47 PM) Marty: The brute on the floor continues to snore, and the wounds on his bum, continue to run.
(11:46:33 PM) Marty: (edit previous: about half the hobgoblins fled, a quarter of them are dead, and a quarter of them shat bricks and are prostrated on the floor)
(11:46:42 PM) Marty: (in addition to the gobllins)
(11:47:07 PM) Marty: The crowd is no longer panicking as much, with people beginning to poke their heads out of hiding places.
(11:47:17 PM) Marty: (Up next: dave)
(11:49:34 PM) Laharl01: Aiolos pulls out a tracer and shoves it into a large wound in the ogre mage, trying to get it pretty far in. "Let's make sure he stays out long enough for this wound to heal over, shall we?"
(11:53:21 PM) Drew left the room.
(11:56:31 PM) Marty: Aiolos is not able to get the tracer to stay in
(11:57:02 PM) Marty: the brute's rapidly regenerating hide pushes the tracer outwards as you try to get it to stay in
(11:57:23 PM) Laharl01: Aiolos swears, pulling out his sword. "Looks like I'll have to make a deeper hole..." *stab* *shove*
(11:59:09 PM) Marty: another attempt to place it has failed
(11:59:17 PM) Marty: more wounds on the brute heal
(11:59:39 PM) Marty: (another round goes by: cocktrices are now all dead)
(11/06/2008 12:01:18 AM) Laharl01: "Alrighty, then." Aiolos stabs yet again, this time as hard as he can, then uses an arrow to try and hold in the tracer, snapping off the arrowhead when the wound has closed around it.
(12:01:41 AM) Eric: "Now, what to do with you..." Manta says while looking at the goblinoids spread out before him.
(12:02:12 AM) Marty: The arrowhead holds the beacon in place as the flesh over the wound seals
(12:02:27 AM) Marty: you estimate that the brute will be waking back up any second now
(12:02:38 AM) Laharl01: "Quick, he's about to wake up. Knock him back out!"
(12:03:52 AM) Marty: edit
(12:04:04 AM) Marty: you've got maybe 10 minutes before he wakes back up
(12:05:55 AM) Marty: The goblins and hobgoblins continue to whimper and lay prone on the ground
(12:05:58 AM) Eric: "now, you were not as loyal as your allies who fled, but seemed to trust that surrender meant you'd keep your life."
(12:07:12 AM) Eric: "Now, I'm not a cruel man, and a ship is always in need of strong workers."
(12:09:58 AM) Marty: "We're not worthy, we're not worthy," is all you hear coming from the goblinoids.
(12:11:48 AM) Eric: "No, you're not." Manta said flatly. "But I don't really feel like hiring help. So I offer you the chance to join my crew."
(12:12:10 AM) Laharl01: Aiolos divests the hulking brute of his gear and then hauls him out the door, still unconscious and making sure he has a bumpy trip. "Just taking out the trash."
(12:12:16 AM) Marty: "Please don't hurt us master," they say as the continue to remain prostrate.
(12:13:07 AM) Marty: Fist, the warforged bouncer quickly moves towards Aiolos and takes hold of the other end of the brute, helping you move the hulking figure.
(12:13:30 AM) Eric: "You will live on my ship, eat what i give you, do what I tell you, when I tell you, and I'll make loyal sailors out of you. It will be hard."
(12:14:10 AM) Laharl01: Aiolos nods his appreciation. Once they're out the door, he mutters, "Let's get this guy to a back alley someplace."
(12:14:19 AM) Marty: "We obey master, master is fair"
(12:14:20 AM) Eric: "However, look at yourselves now. Groveling on the floor of a tavern, as your leader is carried outside."
(12:14:54 AM) Eric: "Alright, well. Stand up then. I can't have part of my crew groveling in public.
(12:15:10 AM) Eric: hand me your weapons. You won't be using them for some time.
(12:16:55 AM) Marty: "Yes master," the goblins intone as one and they all stand up in unison like some hive minded creature. They all drop their weapons simultaneously, the objects clattering the floor.
(12:19:22 AM) Eric: "Now, help clean up the mess left by your birds. I want this place clean and serviceable just the way it was before you arrived."
(12:19:40 AM) Marty: After some time, Aiolos and Fist find a convinient alley and leave Tozogg there.
(12:19:49 AM) Laharl01: (beat me to it
)(12:20:25 AM) Laharl01: "Let's get back to the bar, I wanna see how many the captain's scared into service..." Aiolos heads back.
(12:21:08 AM) Marty: The goblins quickly set to work disposing of the cockatrice carcasses. The hobgoblins start moving glass and debris from the window out of the room.
(12:21:39 AM) Marty: One of the employees, a cleric by her dress and the fact she was wielding a mace earlier sets about de-petrifying the patrons that were bitten by the cockatrices.
(12:21:40 AM) Eric: Manta then walks around collecting the various fallen weapons, and setting them behind the bar.
(12:24:27 AM) Marty: <END MEET>

(12:49:56) Eric Holland entered the room.
(12:51:28) Laharl01 left the room.
(12:52:48) Laharl01 entered the room.
(12:59:27) ForSovietRussia: <!-- COMMENCE GAME -->
(13:01:05) ForSovietRussia: day.init("Zol",24,"Therendor",998);
(13:01:46) ForSovietRussia: The party wakes up on the 24th of Therendor. The skies are clear and the temperature mild.
(13:02:26) ForSovietRussia: Felix swaggers out of a tent, followed by 2 barbarian women who giggle and walk off.
(13:02:55) ForSovietRussia: Trunac was up about an hour ago, and is off learning the finer points of Barbarian Breakfast Food.
(13:03:17) Laharl01: Aiolos hopes that such breakfast food includes lots of bacon.
(13:04:33) Eric Holland: Captain Manta awakens.
(13:05:06) Eric Holland: He then starts thinking of what he's going to teach his new crew for the day.
(13:08:23) Eric Holland: "Hopefully the dragons will be done their work on my ship, and we can begin loading to leave today." he thought as he sat down to Trunac's breakfast.
(13:09:18) ForSovietRussia: The table was covered in all sorts of barbarian breakfast foods, ranging from wild boar bacon, to fried wyvern eggs.
(13:11:01) Laharl01: Aiolos munches until he's full.
(13:11:57) Eric Holland: As does Manta
(13:12:53) Eric Holland: Manta then excuses himself "Good cooking Trunac. Dry some of that bacon, we'll take it with us." and headed off to check in on his ship.
(13:13:01) Drew entered the room.
(13:13:01) Drew: (test)
(13:13:02) ForSovietRussia: Felix sits down next to the barbarian women and eats until he is full.
(13:13:36) ForSovietRussia: Trunac eats until he is full. Felix and Trunac then head off in the direction of the Cove.
(13:14:27) Laharl01: Aiolos shrugs, wondering if the ship is ready yet, and follows them.
(13:15:23) ForSovietRussia: As they get to the cove, they find the crew of dragonborn artificers putting the finishing touches on the figurehead.
(13:15:46) ForSovietRussia: One of them looks up and then appears to cast a spell.
(13:16:37) Eric Holland: understanding the intricacies of spellcasting, Manta waits for the artificer to finish before calling out "Hail Dragonfriend! How goes it?"
(13:16:42) ForSovietRussia: You see no visible affects, but about a minute later Celebrimbor teleports in with a crate.
(13:17:21) ForSovietRussia: "We just finished up the job on your ship Captain Manta," he says before he turns and salutes Celebrimbor.
(13:18:09) Eric Holland: "Thank you. Good morning Celebrimbor. How are things with you? Need some help with that crate?"
(13:22:38) ForSovietRussia: "Everything's good Captain. The Chamber had some things for your crew to send with me," he says as he opens the crate.
(13:23:26) ForSovietRussia: Inside are 3 +1 Breastplates for the Cloudreaver Sergeants and 7 +2 Bracers of Armor for the Cloudreaver Crew
(13:24:23) Eric Holland: "This must have come at great expense to the Chamber. We thank them for their trust."
(13:25:12) ForSovietRussia: "They also sent this, I believe you had asked them for it," He pulls out a tome about the size of an average spellbook with a folded piece of paper in the middle of it.
(13:27:41) Eric Holland: "Aye, we were. Felix, I believe this was your specialty?" Manta says while handing him the tome.
(13:28:17) ForSovietRussia: Felix takes the book from Manta, "Oh goody, something to read on the trip."
(13:29:24) ForSovietRussia: The artificer who had cast the spell jumps down from the ship and walks over to Celebrimbor. "You're good to go sir. Don't worry, we'll hold down the fort while you are off."
(13:31:47) ForSovietRussia: Several burly barbarians walk into the cover carrying a bunch of crates labeled "food". They turn to Trunac and say, "Here's the supplies you asked for, where should we put them?"
(13:32:43) Eric Holland: Stepping forward,Manta tells them where the storage facility is on his ship
(13:33:55) Eric Holland: "Now if you will excuse me, time to go gather the crew and we will be ready to set sail. You all going to be ready in about 2 hours time?"
(13:34:03) ForSovietRussia: The barbarians climb aboard the ship and take the crates to the storage bay.
(13:34:53) ForSovietRussia: The artificers all jump down from the ship and admire their work, the bow of the Night's Dawn is now a lifelike representation of a Red Dragon head and neck.
(13:35:07) Laharl01: Aiolos oohs and aahs.
(13:35:31) ForSovietRussia: Palgrave climbs down from the side of the ship and walks over to admire their work as well.
(13:36:05) ForSovietRussia: He turns to the artificers and tosses their leader a bag that looks like it is filled with coins. He then turns to Manta and says "I had them do a few more things while they were at it."
(13:36:35) Eric Holland: Before heading off, Manta exlaims "With a figurehead like that, people will think twice before attacking us. What's this?"
(13:37:43) ForSovietRussia: "I had them improve the controls, the rudder had been sticking lately. And they also added a few surprises for any would-be boarders."
(13:40:02) ForSovietRussia: "The surprises go off whenever someone without one of those coins keyed to the lantern," he says, pointing at the lantern hanging by the wheel, "boards the ship without the captain's permission."
(13:40:37) Eric Holland: "Thank you again. That'll keep the crew in line. Haha."
(13:41:07) ForSovietRussia: Palgrave laughs with Manta. "You forgot they already have their coins."
(13:42:22) Eric Holland: "I guess I did. Well, let's get them all over here and make sure they didn't spend it already"
(13:43:04) ForSovietRussia: "Lets hope not, I don't want to keep hearing that alarm. I'll go get the crew," Palgrave says as he walks into the woods in the direction of where the crew had been camping.
(13:46:51) Eric Holland: "Alright, thanks Palgrave."
(13:47:31) ForSovietRussia: The artificers show Manta the new things while Palgrave is off getting the crew.
(13:51:13) Unable to send message: The message is too large.
(13:51:19) ForSovietRussia: Palgrave returns about 10 minutes later with the crew. About 5 minutes after that Asmund and Bjorn (with his white dragon wyrmling companion) arrive from the Barbarian Camp with more supplies.
(13:51:20) ForSovietRussia: "Thats the last of them," Asmund says as he hands the crates to the crew.
(13:52:51) Eric Holland: "Alright crew. We're setting sail for Sharn. Nothing's getting in our way. Now lets go and make it happen. Remember all the training you've had."
(13:53:25) Eric Holland: "Now let's make it happen men!"
(13:54:19) ForSovietRussia: The crew, Asmund, Bjorn, Trunac, and Felix climb aboard the ship, and Celebrimbor jumps onboard (show-off).
(13:54:51) Laharl01: Aiolos climbs onboard too.
(13:55:22) ForSovietRussia: Palgrave stands next to the helm, "Crew all present and accounted for, Sir!"
(13:56:03) Eric Holland: "Alright. Let's get moving then. CAST OFF!" Manta shouts, clearly happy to be back at sea
(13:57:14) ForSovietRussia: (Squall: Prof(Sailor) check plz)
(13:57:42) ForSovietRussia: (add your shiphandling bonus from the ship)
(13:58:00) Eric Holland: (Prof Sailor 33)
(13:59:22) ForSovietRussia: Manta successfully turns the ship around inside the cove and steers it out into the Dragonreach that separates Argonnessen from Khorvaire, Aerenal, and the Sea of Rage
(13:59:41) ForSovietRussia: (Know(Geo) plz. you get aid another +4 from Palgrave and Sam)
(14:00:43) Eric Holland: (Know Geo: 21)
(14:01:58) ForSovietRussia: Working together, Manta, Palgrave, and Sam plot a course that takes them east, going south of Aerenal and into the Thunder Sea on the way to Sharn.
(14:02:42) ForSovietRussia: *Westwards
(14:03:02) ForSovietRussia: The ship sails west, and the day is uneventful.
(14:03:52) ForSovietRussia: The second day comes.
(14:04:21) ForSovietRussia: Around noonish, the seargeant who is on lookout duty spots a ship in the distance, coming closer to you.
(14:04:36) ForSovietRussia: (Spot checks anyone?)
(14:04:58) Laharl01: (21)
(14:06:07) ForSovietRussia: (Manta: 9, Trunac: 15, Felix: 22)
(14:07:35) ForSovietRussia: Felix, Celebrimbor, and Aiolos see a ship with sails that seem more like bird's wings than sails. It has graceful lines and looks delicate.
(14:08:41) ForSovietRussia: As it draws closer, you can see that it has 2 Ballistae and a Catapult mounted on its deck, but none of the weapons appear manned.
(14:10:37) Eric Holland: Manta steers the ship so as to avoid a collsion, and trying to keep out of attack range. "Any Colors on their ship? Peaceful or otherwise?" He shouts at his crew.
(14:11:30) ForSovietRussia: Palgrave looks at the ship as it draws closer, "Its an Elf Wingship sir, the elves use them to Patrol the waters around Aerenal."
(14:12:16) ForSovietRussia: "Just hold your course steady," he says before shouting orders to the crew. "Prepare to lower speed and come alongside!"
(14:12:34) ForSovietRussia: "Break out the mooring lines on the starboard side!"
(14:13:24) ForSovietRussia: The crew on watch spring into action, some climbing the rigging and furling sails, others opening the starboard side lockers and taking out heavy ropes.
(14:13:57) ForSovietRussia: Palgrave turns to Manta, "Just let them come alongside us, they only want to ask us what we are doing in their waters and where we are headed."
(14:15:16) Eric Holland: "Yeah. Sounds like a plan." Manta says, happy that they'll be in close should combat begin.
(14:15:50) ForSovietRussia: The Wingship pulls alongside and matches speed, its crew of elves breaking out their mooring lines as well as the two ships draw closer.
(14:16:18) ForSovietRussia: When they are about 10 feet apart, several crew members from each ship toss their lines to the other and they quickly tie the two ships together.
(14:18:54) ForSovietRussia: An elf (the captain by the look of him), climbs over the railings onto the deck of the Night's Dawn. "I am Captain Haldir of the Penitent Tangent, Aerenal 343rd Coastal Patrol Wing. Who is master of this vessel?"
(14:19:10) ForSovietRussia: Palgrave nudges Manta in the side "That would be you," he says to him quietly.
(14:19:11) Eric Holland: "That would be me. Captain Manta."
(14:19:59) Eric Holland: "How can we help you this fine morning Captain?"
(14:21:01) ForSovietRussia: "We are conducting a routine patrol of Aerenal waters. Can you please tell us what you are doing in these waters and where your destination is?"
(14:21:24) ForSovietRussia: The elf next to him opens up a logbook and takes out a quill pen.
(14:22:05) L17713ANGRYM4N entered the room.
(14:22:15) Eric Holland: "We are sailing to the city of Sharn in Khorvaire, from the land of Argonnessen
(14:22:21) Eric Holland: " Manta replies.
(14:24:30) ForSovietRussia: "Argonnessen? That would explain the....different...crew members you have," he says motioning at Asmund and Bjorn (whose dragon is sitting on his shoulder) as his assistant records this information in his logbook.
(14:25:30) Eric Holland: "This being my ship, is it not my right to have whatever crew I choose? Faithful hands and strong hearts make for a merry voyage wouldn't you agree?"
(14:28:16) ForSovietRussia: "I fully agree, it just isn't every day we come across a ship captained by an Elf, crewed by humans, and carrying a Catfolk, a Dragonfolk, and 2 Dragon Tribesmen."
(14:29:10) ForSovietRussia: "Well, I'll let you be off then. But be warned, there have been reports of strange weather activity in the Thunder Sea of late. Storms coming out of clear skies and what-not," he says as he heads back to the railing.
(14:29:35) Eric Holland: "Well, I couldn't be too ordinary. I just so hate Cliches. Thank you Sir."
(14:30:08) ForSovietRussia: Haldir and his assistant jump back over the railing onto their ship and the crew unties the two vessels.
(14:30:23) Eric Holland left the room.
(14:30:36) ForSovietRussia: Palgrave takes the wheel again and guides the Night's Dawn away from the Penitent Tangent.
(14:31:04) ForSovietRussia: The crew quickly gets the ship back up to full speed.
(14:33:57) ForSovietRussia: The ship sails on for the rest of the day.
(14:34:16) ForSovietRussia: init.day("Sailing day 3");
(14:36:05) L17713ANGRYM4N left the room.
(14:37:05) ForSovietRussia: And on the third day...nothing notable happens as the party passes into the Thunder Sea. A few ships can be seen on the horizon, but none of them come close.
(14:38:14) ForSovietRussia: The fourth day dawns, with clear skies and 26 degree temperatures.
(14:42:12) L17713ANGRYM4N entered the room.
(14:43:38) Laharl01: Aiolos enjoys the good weather.
(14:44:15) L17713ANGRYM4N: As does Felix.
(14:44:18) ForSovietRussia: Manta takes the helm from Sam when he gets up, taking the day shift for today's steering.
(14:45:18) ForSovietRussia: The crew lounges around the ship, enjoying the excellent weather they are having. Trunac breaks open a keg of Trunac Stout and passes around mugs of it for everyone.
(14:45:52) Laharl01: Aiolos sips at his mug. "This is a fine brew, Trunac."
(14:46:15) L17713ANGRYM4N: Felix takes a swig. "Oh, yes. I second that. Well done sir."
(14:47:02) ForSovietRussia: Someone breaks out traditional shipboard instruments (fiddle, etc) and starts playing.
(14:47:25) ForSovietRussia: nightsDawn.init("Stereotypical Shipboard Party Scene");
(14:49:22) ForSovietRussia: (skip a bit brother...)
(14:49:32) ForSovietRussia: Night comes, and Manta passes the helm to Palgrave.
(14:53:04) ForSovietRussia: Celebrimbor relieves the crewman on lookout duty and takes his place in the crow's nest.
(14:53:37) ForSovietRussia: The night air is crisp, and it is about 25 degrees out.
(14:54:25) L17713ANGRYM4N: Felix meanwhile dozes next to the stairs
(14:54:53) ForSovietRussia: Manta falls asleep on the quarterdeck.
(14:55:12) Laharl01: Aiolos crashes in his bunk.
(14:55:49) L17713ANGRYM4N: (main deck stairs that is)
(15:00:42) ForSovietRussia: Trunac is sleeping next to his (sealed) keg of ale in the galley underneath the Forecastle
(15:01:23) ForSovietRussia: Bjorn and Asmund are sleeping on the main deck.
(15:02:03) ForSovietRussia: Sam is in his quarters on the lower deck.
(15:02:47) ForSovietRussia: Anyone who was awake could see a storm brewing in the distance. Palgrave steers the ship to avoid the storm.
(15:03:52) ForSovietRussia: As the storm dissappates, Palgrave steers the ship back onto its original course.
(15:04:18) ForSovietRussia: <!-- INTERLUDE -->
(15:05:17) ForSovietRussia: Calendorani sat in a lifeboat, packed in with 4 other passengers of the Traffic, one of its officers, and two of its crewmen.
(15:06:17) ForSovietRussia: The officer was fiddling with a metal plate that had a glass disc on it, he suddenly shouted out "I've got it! There's a ship about 5 miles away from us!"
(15:07:10) Drew: "Alright then, you can all open eyes now."
(15:07:26) Drew: "Assuming that we know they're heading for us."
(15:08:31) ForSovietRussia: The officer fiddles with the dials and knobs some more, "No, they haven't changed heading yet. They might not be able to see the light yet," he said. "However, on their current course they will pass within a mile of where we are."
(15:08:50) Drew: "Tell me when they're within a mile."
(15:10:43) ForSovietRussia: Time passes as the officer stares at the glass disc, watching as the green blip grew closer. "Okay, they are about a mile away. I've got some more details, its a Caravel-class vessel, the Night's Dawn."
(15:11:21) ForSovietRussia: "You've got about a 10 minute window where they could see your beacon"
(15:11:30) Drew: "Excellent. Everyone close their eyes."
(15:12:02) Drew: Calendorani began activating his gauntlets again.
(15:12:19) ForSovietRussia: <-- END INTERLUDE -->
(15:14:44) ForSovietRussia: Celebrimbor sees a light flare to life in the distance off the port bow, about 1 mile distant. He rings the bell on the crow's nest and shouts back to Palgrave, "Bright light off the port bow Sir!"
(15:14:55) ForSovietRussia: (listen checks for all those asleep)
(15:15:40) Laharl01: (21 -5asleep=16)
(15:15:55) ForSovietRussia: dave, you take another -3 due to the deck over your head
(15:16:01) L17713ANGRYM4N: (24)
(15:16:04) Laharl01: (13, then)
(15:16:14) L17713ANGRYM4N: (oh, there
(15:16:27) L17713ANGRYM4N: 's a penalty for being asleep? 19 then)
(15:17:09) ForSovietRussia: (Drew, gimme a listen check)
(15:17:43) Drew: (15)
(15:20:58) ForSovietRussia: Aiolos, Felix, and Trunac all hear the bell ring through their dreams.
(15:21:31) L17713ANGRYM4N: "Uh... what, is it dinnertime already...?"
(15:21:34) Laharl01: Aiolos jerks awake, sitting up before he realizes he's on a ship. He recoils from the ceiling, holding his head in pain, before stumbling up to the deck.
(15:21:40) ForSovietRussia: Asmund and Bjorn jump to their feet, grab their weapons and look around, clearly thinking they were under attack.
(15:21:45) Laharl01: "Whassa...matter....?"
(15:22:06) ForSovietRussia: Captain Manta does not stir however, hes still passed out on the quarterdeck and is sleeping like a baby halfling.
(15:22:09) L17713ANGRYM4N: *staggers upright* "What the.... what's going on, guys?"
(15:22:43) ForSovietRussia: Samuel L Jones staggers up the stairs onto the main deck, clearly fighting off a hangover, "What in Risia is going on?"
(15:23:12) Laharl01: Aiolos, not seeing or hearing Manta, goes to make sure he's awake.
(15:23:16) L17713ANGRYM4N: "I dunno. Somebody's ringing the bell and shouting for some reason."
(15:23:44) L17713ANGRYM4N: Trunac stumps out of the galley and onto the main deck. "What's all the racket about?"
(15:23:47) ForSovietRussia: Aiolos finds Manta snoring loudly. Palgrave fights back laughter at the fact that their leader slept through the bell.
(15:24:06) ForSovietRussia: The crew starts to stir and slowly makes their way up onto the deck.
(15:24:08) Laharl01: Aiolos wakes Manta up with some hard nudges.
(15:24:51) ForSovietRussia: "Who! What! Wheres my rum!? What's going on?" Manta says as he awakes with a start
(15:25:28) Laharl01: "The bell's ringing, I'm not sure why."
(15:25:31) ForSovietRussia: Palgrave turns to him and says "Lookout spotted a light in the distance off the port bow, orders sir?"
(15:26:48) ForSovietRussia: <!-- INTERLUDE 2: THE RETURN OF THE HTML COMMENT TAG -->
(15:27:43) ForSovietRussia: Calendorani hears the bell ring, and the officer apparently hears it too and says "They must have seen the beacon."
(15:28:33) Drew: "Alright, open yours again."
(15:28:42) Drew: "Looks like we might yet survive."
(15:29:20) ForSovietRussia: "Okay, let me send them a message," he says as he fiddles with the device he is holding again.
(15:29:41) ForSovietRussia: <-- END INTERLUDE -->
(15:30:27) ForSovietRussia: Everyone onboard the Night's Dawn suddenly hears this message in their heads:
(15:31:45) ForSovietRussia: "Nights Dawn, Nights Dawn. This is the survivors of the Blue Moon Line Caravel Traffic. We have sunk and taken to lifeboats. We require assistance."
(15:32:32) L17713ANGRYM4N: Felix: "What the... does everyone else hear that?"
(15:32:47) L17713ANGRYM4N: Trunac: "Aye, I hear it too. What do we do, cap'n?"
(15:33:20) ForSovietRussia: Manta looks more awake as he ponders the message, "Opinions, Palgrave?"
(15:34:12) ForSovietRussia: Palgrave responds "My crew and I have had no dealings with the Blue Moon Line before, but they do routinely run caravel's between Sharn and Stormreach. And there was quite a storm in this area recently."
(15:34:52) ForSovietRussia: Manta replies, "So your saying its most likely a valid distress signal?"
(15:35:15) ForSovietRussia: Palgrave nods, "Yes, commercial passenger ships often have a device that lets them signal nearby ships."
(15:35:47) ForSovietRussia: "And rescuing them could bring us profit too," Manta says. "Well then, change course to intercept that light"
(15:36:54) ForSovietRussia: Palgrave starts shouting orders to the crew, "Prepare to change course! Increase speed to maximum and prepare to decrease on my command!"
(15:37:24) ForSovietRussia: The crew snaps into action, mucking about in the rigging and unfurling more sails as Palgrave turns the ship to intercept the light.
(15:37:48) ForSovietRussia: <!-- Interlude 3: The Exclamation Point Strikes Back -->
(15:38:17) Unable to send message: The message is too large.
(15:38:49) ForSovietRussia: The officer says excitedly to Calendorani, "They've turned to intercept us, they must have gotten our message!"
(15:42:37) ForSovietRussia: The officer spreads the word to the other lifeboats.
(15:42:45) ForSovietRussia: <-- END INTERLUDE -->
(15:44:23) ForSovietRussia: As the Night's Dawn draws closer, those aboard can see that the source of the light is 180' wide patch of sea that seems to just be brighter than the surrounding area. There are 6 small boats in this middle of the area.
(15:44:50) ForSovietRussia: "Lifeboats from the look of them," Sam says as he walks up the stairs to the Quarterdeck.
(15:46:34) ForSovietRussia: The ship sails into the lighted area. In each lifeboat there are 8 humanoid figures, 2 manning the oars in each.
(15:47:15) L17713ANGRYM4N: Felix: "Right, well let's toss em some lines" and he grabs a rope to do just that
(15:47:23) Laharl01: Aiolos grabs a line too.
(15:48:44) Drew: Calendorani is one of the last to climb up onto the Night's Dream. Upon stepping onto the vessel he takes a moment to over look the ship and crew.
(15:48:54) ForSovietRussia: (HEY)
(15:49:10) ForSovietRussia: (IGNORE PREVIOUS LINE)
(15:50:41) ForSovietRussia: The two nearest lifeboats grab the lines and pull themselves alongside the Dawn. In one of them is a figure in a hooded cloak (drew, thats you), a man with a metal plate, 2 people on the oars, and 4 frightened looking humans...
(15:51:25) ForSovietRussia: In the second is a body, 2 people on the oars, a man in garb suggesting he is an officer, and another 4 frightened looking humans.
(15:51:32) L17713ANGRYM4N: Felix gets to work helping people onto the deck. "The hell happened to you guys?"
(15:52:38) Unable to send message: The message is too large.
(15:52:44) ForSovietRussia: The man in officer's garb replied as he climbed aboard, "Storm came out of nowhere, captain ordered us below. We came up after the storm ended....
(15:52:47) ForSovietRussia: captain was just a smear on the deck and we were taking on water from holes in the sides."
(15:53:50) L17713ANGRYM4N: Trunac busies himself preparing a few tots of booze for the survivors
(15:53:57) ForSovietRussia: (Spot checks for people near the sides of the ship (including drew), listen checks for everyone)

(20:17:07) L17713ANGRYM4N: Felix attacks the puking fighter ( 17+12=29)
(20:17:51) ForSovietRussia: The sahuagin retches one more time before his head is severed by Felix's blade. His body falls to the deck, quickly followed by his head.
(20:18:29) L17713ANGRYM4N: Felix moves onto an actual floor and shakes the blood off his blade. "Yuck."
(20:19:14) Laharl01: Aiolos swims over to the boat and makes ready to attack the shark if it comes close enough.
(20:19:40) ForSovietRussia: Asmund fires a dagger at the shark
(20:24:17) Drew: With a burst of strength, (pouring 2 pp into the talon), Calendorani attempts to punch his talon into the shark. (atk roll 25)
(20:24:30) ForSovietRussia: (hit)
(20:26:01) Drew: As he hits, he wills his gauntlet to unleash the infernal flame bound with in them, while his talon crackles with psionic energy. (dmg: 17 slashing, 25 fire)
(20:26:49) ForSovietRussia: The jet of flame shoots through the shark and out the other side, blood pours from the wounds created.
(20:27:15) ForSovietRussia: It does not stir, but its heart keeps pumping out blood.
(20:27:46) Drew: "It is done."
(20:27:56) ForSovietRussia: The officers finish loading their crossbows and fire one last volley at the beast.
(20:28:29) ForSovietRussia: The shark slowly slips below the waves
(20:28:46) ForSovietRussia: All the sahuagin that were killed bob to their surface, their stomachs bloated.
(20:29:15) Drew: Calendorani swims out to collect the druid's body.
(20:30:23) L17713ANGRYM4N: Felix cleans the last of the gore off his sword. "Well. That was invigorating, no?"
(20:30:49) ForSovietRussia: The other rowboats pull alongside and the passengers climb out onto the Night's Dawn.
(20:30:51) Laharl01: Aiolos climbs back onboard just in time to catch that. "It certainly was."
(20:31:05) ForSovietRussia: Asmund heals whoever needs healing.
(20:31:54) ForSovietRussia: Celebrimbor climbs back aboard the ship and asks "So what are we doing with the rowboats?"
(20:32:56) L17713ANGRYM4N: "Ah, keep however many we can. If nothing else we can hawk them when we get to Sharn."
(20:33:19) Laharl01: "Or we can return them to their rightful owners, who have marked them."
(20:33:37) ForSovietRussia: Celebrimbor and Palgrave do some quick discussing and determine that they can fit two of the boats aboard the main deck, and they can rig up 2 temporary davits for the other 2 boats.
(20:33:48) L17713ANGRYM4N: "Oh, have they?" Felix looks closely at one. "Huh. Must have missed that earlier."
(20:34:04) L17713ANGRYM4N: "Might have had something to do with the fish men, perhaps."
(20:35:09) ForSovietRussia: After some work, the boats are stowed aboard the ship and davits, and the ship proceeds on its voyage.
(20:38:35) Drew: After climbing back on board with the druid's body, Calendorani takes a few moments to stretch and ring out his long hair.
(20:44:19) ForSovietRussia: The last people to climb out of the lifeboats were a Warforged covered in plants, the halfling with the handaxe, a half-elf, and a human with a metal hand (hes the one who had been magic missileing things)
(20:45:07) ForSovietRussia: They dont appear to be affiliated with each other at all.
(20:47:53) ForSovietRussia: The half elf appears to weave some magic and a tatoo on her arm glows brightly.
(20:56:18) Drew left the room.

[21:05:08] Charles Geckle says: (test)
[21:05:45] qwaar_jet says: Last Line from previous chat: (20:47:53) ForSovietRussia: The half elf appears to weave some magic and a tatoo on her arm glows brightly.
[21:06:18] qwaar_jet says: The ship seems to surge ahead, as if the winds favored it.
[21:10:12] Squall Holland says: "Thank you lady Half Elf. Your aid is greatly appreciated. Would you mind telling me your name so I could thank you properly?"
[21:10:18] qwaar_jet says: Palgrave takes the helm once again, and sails the ship out of the debris field.
[21:11:43] qwaar_jet says: She turns to Manta, "Malenda d'Lyrandar, I was hired as a guard by the Blue Moon Line. Thank you for coming to our aid Captain...?"
[21:12:35] Squall Holland says: "The name is Captain Manta. This here is my second in command, Captain Palgrave."
[21:13:50] Squall Holland says: "I'll let the rest of my crew introduce themselves, and then we shall send Trunac down to whip up some food for all of us."
[21:14:52] qwaar_jet says: Trunac hears this and shouts over "Already on it Captain!" as he grabs the massive Elasmosaurus steaks off of the deck.
[21:15:02] Charles Geckle says: Calendorani, by this point, has sat down near the forecastle, and began to meditate.
[21:16:16] qwaar_jet says: Felix follows Trunac into the galley.
[21:16:45] qwaar_jet says: Asmund and Bjorn head downstairs to go back to sleep. (its about 4AM right now)
[21:17:02] laharl01 says: Aiolos introduces himself and then returns to his bunk for some shuteye.
[21:17:08] qwaar_jet says: Celebrimbor climbs the fore mast to the crow's nest and resumes his role as lookout.
[21:17:25] qwaar_jet says: Sam hobbles back to his cabin and goes back to sleep.
[21:17:50] qwaar_jet says: The crew disperses, several of the crewmen and one of the sergeants staying above deck, but the majority going back belowdecks.
[21:18:33] qwaar_jet says: Palgrave chuckles as he watches the crew disperse, "I think they might be too tired to do anything else right now."
[21:22:05] Squall Holland says: "Yeah, maybe. Oh well, introductions will happen eventually. I'll show miss d'Lyrandar and the rest of our new passengers to their sleeping quarters."
[21:23:02] qwaar_jet says: "Aye, but don't go passing out on the quarterdeck again, we don't need you falling overboard...again," Palgrave replies.
[21:25:02] Squall Holland says: "What are you talking about Palgrave? You know that I never fall overboard." He then whispers "Mention that infront of a lady again, and I'll put a magic blast so far up your... you get the picture."
[21:25:34] Squall Holland says: and then flies over the helm and leads the new people down to some of the spare bunks.
[21:25:49] qwaar_jet says: On the way downstairs, the other 3 people introduce themselves.
[21:27:07] qwaar_jet says: The crazed halfling (no longer crazed) is Esseldair McCrock, brother of the founder of McDino's and Vice President of the company. He says that he was in stormreach to surpervise the opening of their new location there and is on his way back to the corporate HQ in Sharn.
[21:27:46] qwaar_jet says: The plant covered warforged is Greenbody, apparently he is a member of the Wardens of the Wood.
[21:28:12] qwaar_jet says: The human with the metal fist introduces himself only as Thalas, and he is travelling for the sake of travelling.
[21:28:55] qwaar_jet says: And the half-elf is Malena d'Lyrandar, a dragonmarked sword-for-hire.
[21:29:56] Squall Holland says: "Well, welcome aboard. Mr. McCrock, you'll be happy to know that we are heading directly to Sharn. Have as good a sleep as is possible under these conditions, and don't worry, we'll make sure everyone reaches dry land again in the swiftest way possible."
[21:31:22] qwaar_jet says: Everyone goes to sleep/whatever they are doing. Morning comes on the 6th day of the journey. The skies are partly cloudy, and its about 24 degrees.
[21:32:03] qwaar_jet says: The world seems brighter than normal, with colors more vibrant and sensations more intense.
[21:33:58] qwaar_jet says: A ship is seen on the horizon. The officer that was in the rowboat with Calendorani pulls out the metal and glass device and fiddles with it again.
[21:35:31] Charles Geckle says: Calendorani is still apparently in contemplation.
[21:35:47] qwaar_jet says: "It's the Pride of the Docks, Caravel Class vessel, registered out of the Sharn Naval Base."
[21:36:25] qwaar_jet says: Palgrave walks up the stairs to the quarterdeck, "Must be another patrol ship," he says, yawning.
[21:36:28] Squall Holland says: "Seems like we're getting close eh?"
[21:37:37] qwaar_jet says: "Should be about a day out, but I don't know how much our speed has increased by thanks to the Lyrandar half-elf."
[21:38:59] qwaar_jet says: The ship draws closer, you can see that it is flying the Brelish flag. "Just let them pull alongside like the Aerenal patrol ship."
[21:39:33] qwaar_jet says: Palgrave shouts orders to the crew, "Reduce speed, break out the mooring lines on the starboard side!"
[21:39:42] qwaar_jet says: (Squall, gimme a Prof(Sailor) check)
[21:40:11] qwaar_jet says: (wait, NM, i'll roll)
[21:41:05] qwaar_jet says: (check result: 24)
[21:41:40] qwaar_jet says: The two ships match speed and pull alongside each other, each crew tossing lines to the other ship and tying the two ships together.
[21:42:02] Charles Geckle says: Calendorani awakens from his state as the ships lock. Rising to his feet.
[21:42:53] qwaar_jet says: The captain of the Brelish ship and an assistant with a logbook climb over the railings and onto the Night's Dawn. "Who is master of this vessel?" he aks.
[21:44:08] Squall Holland says: "That would be me. Captain Manta at your service."
[21:45:03] qwaar_jet says: "I am Captain Kerr of the Brelish Patrol Ship, Pride of the Docks. What is your destination?"
[21:45:37] Squall Holland says: "The Metropolis of Sharn sir."
[21:46:25] qwaar_jet says: "I see, reportedly a ship was sunk in this area last night. The Blue Moon Line Caravel, Traffic. Do you know anything about this?" he asks as his assistant writes in the logbook.
[21:47:03] Squall Holland says: "Aye, we came across the wreckage, and helped some of the crew survive. They are currently aboard this ship."
[21:47:59] qwaar_jet says: "That would explain the lifeboats," he says as he motions to the boats stored on the deck. "Very well, we shall send word back to the Blue Moon Line office in Sharn. Where do you intend to dock?" he asks as he walks back towards his ship.
[21:49:46] Squall Holland says: "Grayflood sir. I actually intend to buy some dockspace there when I arrive."
[21:52:59] qwaar_jet says: "Very well, there will be Blue Moon Line representatives there when you arrive. And probably media too, no doubt," he says as he climbs back onto his ship. "At your current speed you should be there by nightfall," he finishes as the crews untie the ships.
[21:53:14] qwaar_jet says: The Pride of the Docks peels away and continues its patrol.
[21:53:53] Squall Holland says: "Thank you sir. Have a good day."
[21:56:15] qwaar_jet says: The day continues, with the towers of Sharn in early afternoon. You arrive at Grayflood around dusk, and ease the Night's Dawn into its berth. The crew tosses the mooring lines down to the dockhands, who secure the ship to the dock. Down on the dock is a rotund man smoking a pipe, and a gaggle of people in long coats with notebooks out.
[21:56:50] qwaar_jet says: At the end of the dock are an assortment of people, presumably family members of the passengers your rescued.
[21:58:07] Squall Holland says: "Well, here we are, safe and sound just as I promised."
[21:59:20] Charles Geckle says: "Thanks for the ride. I own you a favor." Calendorani says in passing. Before hopping over the ship and onto the docks, and walking away.
[21:59:29] qwaar_jet says: A gangplank is raised to allow for people to exit the ship. The passengers of the Traffic swarm off of the ship and barrel through the assembled reporters, eager to get to their families and friends.
[22:05:37] qwaar_jet says: Esseldair McCrock hands a bag full of golden cards to Captain Manta on his way off the ship. "I know my brother hates it when I give these out, but you guys deserve them. They let you eat for free at any McDino's location," he says with a grin.
[22:07:02] Squall Holland says: "Thank you very much mr. McCrock. We'll put them to good use I think."
[22:08:42] qwaar_jet says: He walks down the gangplank and starts to talk with the media representatives on the dock.
[22:10:15] qwaar_jet says: (RETCONNED DIPLO CHECKS: Greenbody - 30, Thalas - 33, Malena - 35)
[22:11:24] qwaar_jet says: Greenbody the warforged walks towards the gangplank. "Thank you for your aid, you shall see me again sailors," he says before walking down the gangplank, avoiding the media and heading into the city.
[22:13:45] qwaar_jet says: Thalas looks down at the crowd of media-persons and suddenly looks very sick. "On second thought, I think I'll keep travelling," he says as he turns to Manta. "If thats okay with you," he asks.
[22:15:27] qwaar_jet says: Malena walks towards the gangplank and stops before turning back towards Manta, "Hmmm...Looks like I have no job now. Looking for another crewmember?"
[22:16:13] Squall Holland says: "Yeah sir. You're free to stay on as long as you wish. Trunac keeps us well fed, and you'll get a share of whatever gold we happen to find. Plus you have the look of an artificer, so all your services will be paid for."
[22:17:17] Squall Holland says: "And Aye to you too Malena. You're welcome aboard this ship. The aid in our speed will be greatly appreciated. And I do not doubt your ability in combat either. Welcome to the crew."
[22:17:54] qwaar_jet says: "Aye, I am an artificer," Thalas says. "And speaking of food, I am a mite hungry. Thank you Captain," he says as he heads towards the galley.
[22:18:26] qwaar_jet says: "Thank you Captain," Malena says before she too heads towards the galley.
[22:19:27] qwaar_jet says: The rotund, pipe-smoking man heads up the gangplank and stops, "Permission to come aboard, Captain?" he asks, looking at Manta.
[22:20:15] Squall Holland says: "Granted. And who might I have the pleasure of welcoming aboard my fine vessel?"
[22:23:25] qwaar_jet says: He steps off of the gangplank and onto the ship, "I am Bruce Ismay, the head of the local Blue Moon Line office. I see that you and your crew did a fine job rescuing our passengers and crew. And you even saved some of the boats!" he says.
[22:25:33] Squall Holland says: "Aye we did. You're welcome to have them returned to you as well. We saved what we could, but it was quite a mess."
[22:28:42] qwaar_jet says: "Yes, I heard the halfling talk about it with the media. Sahuagin, were they? Dastardly creatures they are. Strange, we usually don't have problems with them in the area where this occurred though," he continued, "Oh, where was I. Ah, yes, I have been authorized to compensate you for your actions by the management."
[22:28:50] qwaar_jet says: He hands you a sack filled with gold coins.
[22:30:05] Squall Holland says: "Thank you kindly sir. We only did what needed to be done, but will graciously accept your generous donation to our cause."
[22:32:09] qwaar_jet says: "Now, I must be off. There's a mountain of paperwork waiting to be done," he says as he walks down the gangplank. The crew and officers of the Traffic pick up the two lifeboats on deck and carry them down the gangplank onto the dock.
[22:32:37] qwaar_jet says: The other two boats are lowered and rowed away, towards the Blue Moon Line docks at the other end of Grayflood.
[22:32:39] Squall Holland says: "Hey, what do you want us to do with the boats?"
[22:35:26] qwaar_jet says: The people on the dock disperse, but a few media representatives remain on the dock, anxious to talk to anyone else who disembarks.
[22:37:04] *** qwaar_jet has changed the chat topic to "In Game Chat"
***
[22:40:45] Squall Holland says: Manta then walks down and says "I am Captain Manta,the man in charge of this ship. How can I help any of you?"
[22:44:03] qwaar_jet says: The reporters left swarm you and start asking questions. "Captain Manta, Howard Smith with the Korranberg Chronicle. Can you tell us what you were doing when you found the survivors?"
[22:48:43] Squall Holland says: "Well, it was the dead of night...a short while past midnight. My good friend Celebrimbor was on watch duty, and my second in command, Captain Palgrave was behind the wheel."
[22:49:24] Squall Holland says: "I had retired for the night, but as soon as the warning becon was spotted, one of my crew members rushed to awaken me.
[22:51:00] Squall Holland says: "We approached the scene and it was a terrible sight to behold. Wreckage was everywehre."
[22:51:51] Squall Holland says: "So I order my crew to raise the sails, and help get the survivors onboard and dry as quickly as possible."
[22:52:03] qwaar_jet says: Another reporter spoke up, "Katie Couric, with the Sharn Inquisitive. And then the sahuagin attacked, correct?"
[22:53:41] Squall Holland says: "It's almost as if you scryed the event! Haha, you're dead on miss Couric. They attacked as we were loading the first two groups of people onto Night's Dawn."
[22:54:55] Squall Holland says: <insert battle description latter, with minor exagerations, and dramatic pauses as appropriate>
[22:55:47] qwaar_jet says: The mediapersons scribble furiously into their notebooks as Manta describes the battle.
[22:56:35] qwaar_jet says: A third reporter spoke up, this one older than the others "Dan Rather, with the Breland Ledger. So Captain, what are you going to do now?"
[22:59:52] Squall Holland says: "Why, we're going to resupply, and reequip, and head right back out. Pirates of the waters beware, if we can take out Dire Sharks and Sahguin while half asleep and without shipboard arms, just wait till we're done here!"
[23:00:43] Squall Holland says: "Watch out Ebberon. Captain Manta is hitting the seas, and nothing is going to stand in my way." he says with a glare of pride and purpose.
[23:01:09] qwaar_jet says: The reporters laugh and scribble more in their notebooks. "Thank you for your time, Captain," they say as they scurry away to interview the survivors.
[23:02:31] Squall Holland says: Manta then returns to his ship to help get everything in order, and prepare to go put down payments on a new ship, dock space, and some real estate.
[23:03:45] qwaar_jet says: About an hour after the people disperse, a group of 4 soldiers appears at the land end of the dock. They shout towards the ship, "Ahoy, is there a Colonel Roland Manta here?!"
[23:04:53] qwaar_jet says: The sergeant on duty shouts back "Manta? We have a Manta here, but I don't know if he is a Colonel! Hang on!" and he scurries into Manta's quarters. "Theres some soldiers here looking for a Colonel Manta, Captain."
[23:07:37] Squall Holland says: "Yeah, that's my rank in Karnath. Show me to the soldiers."
[23:08:21] qwaar_jet says: The sergeant leads you up onto deck and points towards the soldiers standing on the boardwalk.
[23:10:56] Squall Holland says: Manta then returns to the top of the deck, and addresses the men "I am Colonel Manta. Are you the men Warlord Himmler told me to expect?"
[23:12:37] qwaar_jet says: (squall, you are nowhere near them. they are down on the dock, at the shore end of it)
[23:14:07] Squall Holland says: (scratch that, I walk to the boardwalk and meet them and ask them the above question)
[23:15:08] qwaar_jet says: The soldiers snap to salute and the one in front of them says, "It's an honor to meet you sir. Commandant Himmler has assigned us to your Honor Guard under the command of Navy Lieutenant Grubersk. Only thing is, she was supposed to meet us here, but we haven't seen her."
[23:18:13] Squall Holland says: "Well, this is my first time off of the Night 's Dawn since putting into port."
[23:18:55] qwaar_jet says: Manta hears someone running down the docks behind him.
[23:19:00] qwaar_jet says: *boardwalk
[23:20:52] Squall Holland says: Manta turns to look
[23:22:20] qwaar_jet says: He turns to see a silvery blonde haired woman charging down the docks with a large sword strapped to her back, a vest full of knives, and a bracer with what look like oversized shurikens attached to it. She barrels past Manta and comes to a stop in front of the Honor Guard. "He's not here yet, is he?" she asks them, panting for breath. The guard that was talking to Manta says "Actually...you just kinda ran right by him. Ma'am," and then quickly salutes her. She turns around, red in the face and highly embarrased and quickly snaps to salute Manta. "Lieutenant Sophie Grubersk, Karrnathi Navy, reporting for duty sir."
[23:24:26] Squall Holland says: "Haha, at ease soldier. i'm sure you'll be more prompt when on a boat. much less room to wander around."
[23:27:13] qwaar_jet says: She eases up, "Sorry for being late Sir, the ship from Stormreach was delayed due to a storm."
[23:29:58] Squall Holland says: "ah"
[23:37:06] Squall Holland says: "Yeah, that was a heck of a storm. Come with me Lieutenant, as well as you soldiers. Let me show you where you'll be staying till we can aquire some shoreside property." Manta says, motioning down the dock
[23:37:48] qwaar_jet says: Before you can depart, Sophie turns to the soldiers, "Where is Nightwing? Did they not let you bring her to the docks?"
[23:38:38] qwaar_jet says: One of the soldiers replies, "Yes, they wouldn't let us bring her here without authorization, which apparently we didn't have. She's in the aviary at the Embassy right now."
[23:42:20] Squall Holland says: "I assume you mean the Giant Owl who delivered the original message? We can stop by and get that sorted out after you become aquainted with the ship. We're going to be here for a week at least. No rush."
[23:43:12] qwaar_jet says: "Actully Nighting is your Dire Hawk. The giant owl was just a Karrnathi Military messenger owl," Sophie responds.
[23:49:44] qwaar_jet says: DM EDICT: Fast Fowarding!
[23:50:59] qwaar_jet says: Manta goes and makes the downpayment on the housing/shop and the docks (1000 GP total)
[23:51:16] qwaar_jet says: The crew and everyone else turns in for the night
[23:52:01] qwaar_jet says: Manta is about to turn in for the night but the itching in his arm returns, worse than before. Then, in a flash of blinding light, an intricate swirl of lines appears on his forearm.
[23:52:18] qwaar_jet says: You think it looks like a dragonmark.
[23:52:39] qwaar_jet says: But of a kind you have never seen before.
[23:53:03] qwaar_jet says: (Manta Gains Bonus Feat: Least Dragonmark [Sailing])
[23:53:10] qwaar_jet says: (END MEET LOG)
[23:53:16] Squall Holland says: "hmm... Better keep this quite for now. I'll see if something developes in the morning. Maybe I'll have Melena look at it tomorrow."

(12:00:09) ForSovietRussia: Hokay, so heres the party. Chilling. Damn, that is one sweet spider gut covered party you might say.
(12:01:44) ForSovietRussia: Seamus speaks up, "Hey guys, I'm not feeling so good"
(12:02:02) Drew: "What's wrong?"
(12:02:12) ForSovietRussia: "I don't know, i just feel sick"

(12:10:22) Drew: Balthazar guides him while walking.
(12:10:30) Drew: "And leave him defenseless?"

(12:13:15) L17713ANGRYM4N: "No, I'm good."
(12:13:26) Laharl01: "I'm fine as well."
(12:13:32) Eric Shealy: I'm good.
(12:13:35) ForSovietRussia: "Guys, I really have to lie down"
(12:14:27) Drew: Balthazar helps him down.
(12:14:28) L17713ANGRYM4N: Felix stops moving. "You know, guys, the tomb's not going anywhere. Maybe we should see to Seamus and then head down."
(12:15:03) Drew: "Unfortunately, there's not much more I can do."
(12:15:24) ForSovietRussia: <PAUSE>
(12:22:33) ForSovietRussia: <RESUME>
(12:23:26) Drew: "My restorative magic did nothing, and I don't see any wounds for my healing magic."
(12:24:09) ForSovietRussia: "Maybe some sleep will help, it might just be something I ate"
(12:25:41) Drew: "I'd have hoped to get a bit farther."
(12:25:56) Drew: "But your health is more important that some quest."
(12:26:06) Drew: "I think..."
(12:26:46) Drew: "Aiolos. Care to go scout ahead?"
(12:27:03) Laharl01: "Sure, why not?"
(12:27:10) Drew: "Before you go."
(12:27:26) Drew: Balthazar casts Airwalk on Aiolos.
(12:27:35) ForSovietRussia: "If you guys want to go on without me, go ahead"
(12:27:51) Drew: "That doesn't sound wise."
(12:27:57) ForSovietRussia: "I'll just sit at the entrance to the next room and wait."
(12:28:14) Drew: "Are you sure?"
(12:28:15) Laharl01: Aiolos zips up over the webs and peers inside the door to the next room.
(12:28:33) ForSovietRussia: (light source? or do you have darkvision or something?)
(12:28:47) Laharl01: (bullseye lantern)
(12:29:40) ForSovietRussia: The chamber is about 30' high and is empty except for a large stone pedastal at its center
(12:30:06) ForSovietRussia: it rises 5' from the floor and is engraved with symbols. (knowledge (arcana) check)
(12:30:36) Laharl01: (untrained 12)
(12:31:13) ForSovietRussia: On the floor around the base of the pedestal is a circular arrangement of triangular flagstones, the points of which each touch the pillar
(12:31:21) ForSovietRussia: (they look like dragonmarks)
(12:32:09) Laharl01: Aiolo mutters "Hmm..." and then zips back down to the others.
(12:32:30) Laharl01: "The room looks empty, but there's this weird pedestal thingie surrounded by designs on the floor that look like dragonmarks."
(12:33:30) Drew: "I guess I should have a look."
(12:33:37) L17713ANGRYM4N: "Probably"
(12:33:49) Drew: Balthazarr zips up to where Aiolos saw the marks.
(12:33:58) L17713ANGRYM4N: As does Felix
(12:34:24) Drew: ((Know: Arcana 18)
(12:34:55) ForSovietRussia: One of the marks looks like the Mark of Handling, but the other 5 look like nothing you have ever seen before.
(12:35:30) L17713ANGRYM4N: (Does one of them look like the mark on the staue's shoulder?)
(12:35:43) ForSovietRussia: (Yes)
(12:36:21) L17713ANGRYM4N: "Hm. If I were to hazard a guess, I'd say these were their party's marks."
(12:37:10) Drew: "Looks like one had a proper dragon mark, and the others had the aberrant ones we've heard about."
(12:37:42) L17713ANGRYM4N: "Yeah. And look there." he points. "That one look like the one on the statue outside."
(12:39:00) ForSovietRussia: The marks aside from the Handling are oddly similar to yours though.
(12:39:34) L17713ANGRYM4N: "I wonder.." Felix steps up to the pedestal.
(12:39:49) L17713ANGRYM4N: (anything happen?)
(12:39:54) ForSovietRussia: Nope
(12:40:04) L17713ANGRYM4N: Felix activates his dragonmark
(12:40:12) Laharl01: "Give me a second to poke around here." (Search check)
(12:40:13) L17713ANGRYM4N: "See if this does anything."
(12:40:20) ForSovietRussia: You hear a series of loud clicks
(12:40:27) ForSovietRussia: And then the sound of stone grinding on stone
(12:40:42) ForSovietRussia: The flagstones sink into the floor forming a stairway of sorts.
(12:40:46) Laharl01: (26 search, but I think we're good)
(12:41:01) ForSovietRussia: You find a trap!
(12:41:02) L17713ANGRYM4N: "Hey, what do you know. It did do something."
(12:41:21) Laharl01: "Hold up! It's a TRAP!"
(12:42:54) ForSovietRussia: The third stair is rigged to trigger stones to fall from the ceiling onto the stairs
(12:45:08) Laharl01: Aiolos pokes around, trying to disable the trap without triggering it. (DD 29)
(12:47:13) ForSovietRussia: You aren't able to disable it, but you think you can try again.
(12:47:33) Laharl01: "Give me a minute here..."
(12:48:37) Laharl01: (make that 34 from AP boost)
(12:49:29) ForSovietRussia: After a little more poking, prodding, and manipulating, you are pretty sure you have disabled the mechanism
(12:50:04) Laharl01: "Alright, I've got it." Aiolos runs up the stairs.
(12:51:06) ForSovietRussia: (you mean down)
(12:51:14) Laharl01: (whatever)
(12:51:16) Drew: Balthazar follows.
(12:51:31) L17713ANGRYM4N: as does Felix
(12:52:00) Eric Shealy: ditto
(12:54:40) ForSovietRussia: You descend the stairs and enter a new room. For a moment, your light flickers and fades before springing back to life.
(12:54:41) ForSovietRussia: It reveals a wide shadowed corridor extending into inky blackness. On either side of the door are empty dark iron cages, 6' tall and 20' wide. The shadows here seem to writhe with a life of their own.
(12:54:53) Laharl01: "This place is creepy."
(12:55:05) Drew: "Agreed."
(12:55:33) ForSovietRussia: Correction: Your light sputters and dies, you can't see anything
(12:55:54) Drew: ((EDIT: IGNORE LAST POST))
(12:56:00) L17713ANGRYM4N: "Here, lemme try." Felix holds his lit-up sword into the room.
(12:56:01) Drew: "Well, crap."
(12:56:03) ForSovietRussia: The light from Felix's sword sputters and then flares back, revealing the previously described terrain.
(12:56:14) L17713ANGRYM4N: "Charming."
(12:56:50) Drew: "I don't like this."
(12:57:23) Drew: Balthazar casts Divine Protection on the group.
(12:58:27) ForSovietRussia: Those with darkvision can see that the room is 60' long and at the end there is a circular door flanked by 4 statues.
(12:59:36) Eric Shealy: Trunac heads towards the statues to check them out.
(12:59:48) Drew: "Trunac, where are you going?"
(13:00:10) L17713ANGRYM4N: (can I with low light vision see the door too?)
(13:00:17) ForSovietRussia: (nope)
(13:00:24) L17713ANGRYM4N: (crap)
(13:01:33) Eric Shealy: "I'm just gonna check these things out. You guys prolly can't see 'em, but there's statues."
(13:01:58) L17713ANGRYM4N: "Just down at the end of the hall?"
(13:02:43) Eric Shealy: "Ayup."
(13:02:48) Drew: "I can't see a bloody thing."
(13:02:56) Laharl01: "Me either."
(13:03:06) L17713ANGRYM4N: "...Something's wrong. I should be able to see that. This darkness is not natural."
(13:04:17) ForSovietRussia: (Know (The Planes) checks?)
(13:04:27) Drew: Balthazar casts Detect Magic.
(13:04:50) Eric Shealy: (8 Untrained)
(13:04:53) L17713ANGRYM4N: (untrained: 17)
(13:04:54) ForSovietRussia: You detect some summoning magic from the cages.
(13:05:11) Laharl01: (untrained 17_
(13:05:19) Drew: "I think something might be bound to those cages."
(13:05:28) ForSovietRussia: Felix and Aiolos think that this might be a manifest zone to Mabar, the Endless Night)
(13:05:29) Drew: "Be vigilant."
(13:06:11) ForSovietRussia: (IGNORE LAST LINE)
(13:08:41) L17713ANGRYM4N: "Well, reagrdless. Eyes open, everyone." He starts slowly making his way to the door.
(13:09:03) Laharl01: Aiolos goes with Felix, sword drawn.
(13:09:18) Drew: Balthazar follows, sword out, and ready to swing at the first enemy.
(13:09:41) Drew: Balthzar also casts Light on his sword.
(13:09:45) ForSovietRussia: The door is made of stone and has a complex locking mechanism. There are dozens of interlocking adamantine gears connected to 15 seals along the edges.
(13:09:59) L17713ANGRYM4N: "All yours, Aiolos."
(13:10:03) ForSovietRussia: The light from his sword sputters and activates in full a moment later.
(13:10:22) Laharl01: Aiolos cracks his knuckles as he walks up to the door. "Just stand back and let me work."
(13:10:30) ForSovietRussia: (Open Lock or DD)
(13:10:49) Laharl01: (Open Lock, it's higher)
(13:10:56) ForSovietRussia: (Roll)
(13:11:08) Laharl01: (20)
(13:11:19) ForSovietRussia: A low growl issues from the darkness around the cages.
(13:11:28) ForSovietRussia: (I NEED POSITIONS OF EVERYONE)
(13:11:33) Laharl01: (at the door)
(13:11:43) L17713ANGRYM4N: Near the door, next to Aiolos w/ his light
(13:12:54) Drew: Within 5ft of Felix
(13:13:18) ForSovietRussia: Metal grinds on metal and from out of each cage steps a hound which blends in with the shadows seemingly. They growl loudly and turn to face you.
(13:13:22) Eric Shealy: I'm around the door and/pr statues
(13:13:26) ForSovietRussia: INITIATIVE!
(13:13:35) Eric Shealy: crap
(13:13:36) Laharl01: (11)
(13:13:42) L17713ANGRYM4N: (14)

(13:23:36) Drew: (Nemo 16)
(13:24:18) ForSovietRussia: (First Up: Manta)
(13:27:41) ForSovietRussia: (Skipping to Balthazar)
(13:29:00) ForSovietRussia: (Skipping back to Manta)
(13:29:04) Drew: Balthazar casts Shield of Faith on himself. "Be ready, comrades."
(13:29:19) ForSovietRussia: (IGNORE CASTING)
(13:29:21) Laharl01: Manta fires an Eldritch Blast at one of the dogs. (22 touch)
(13:29:38) ForSovietRussia: (Hit)
(13:29:39) Laharl01: (7 damage)
(13:30:15) ForSovietRussia: (Accountant of the Gods, go)
(13:30:32) Drew: Balthazar casts Shield of Faith on himself. "Be ready, comrades."
(13:30:44) ForSovietRussia: (Trunac, Go)
(13:36:21) Eric Shealy: Trunac roars, enraged, and charges the wounded shadow dog on the left with a flurry of axeblows. (30, 16, 26 (nat20), and 16)
(13:36:44) ForSovietRussia: (they all hit, roll confirm on the nat 20)
(13:36:55) ForSovietRussia: (crit confirmed)
(13:37:01) ForSovietRussia: (roll damages)
(13:37:10) ForSovietRussia: (lemee get the crit deck)
(13:37:39) L17713ANGRYM4N: (woo!)
(13:41:06) Eric Shealy: Trunac apparently splatters the first dog and goes crazy on the second.
(13:41:07) ForSovietRussia: (Cards: Spun Around - normal damage and target is flat footed for 1 round. Missing Digits - Normal Damage and target loses 1d3 fingers and takes 1 CON and STR drain)
(13:41:16) Laharl01: not bad
(13:41:59) Eric Shealy: (second attack 14 damage)
(13:42:24) Eric Shealy: (third attack 26 damage)
(13:43:17) ForSovietRussia: Both the hounds fall to Trunac's mad hacking.
(13:43:56) ForSovietRussia: (Nemo up)
(13:44:31) ForSovietRussia: Aiolos's initial try opened three of the locks.
(13:46:03) Drew: Nemo readies to strike anything that comes within 10ft of him.
(13:46:19) ForSovietRussia: (Felix up)
(13:46:31) L17713ANGRYM4N: Same as Nemo
(13:46:53) ForSovietRussia: (Aiolos up)
(13:47:00) Laharl01: Aiolos keeps working on the locks.
(13:47:05) Laharl01: (Open Lock 31)
(13:47:46) ForSovietRussia: Your fiddling triggers a cascade reaction which causes all the seals to open.
(13:47:57) ForSovietRussia: And the huge stone door falls inwards.
(13:48:12) Laharl01: Aiolos straightens up and brushes his hands off. "Told you I'd have no trouble."
(13:48:12) ForSovietRussia: REF Saves anyone who was near the door
(13:48:25) Laharl01: (28)
(13:48:29) L17713ANGRYM4N: (26)
(13:48:36) Laharl01: (trap sense?)
(13:48:41) ForSovietRussia: (Felix, Nemo, Balthazar, Aiolos)
(13:48:48) ForSovietRussia: (no dave)
(13:49:01) Laharl01: (just checking)
(13:49:36) Drew: (Balthazar: 18, Nemo 16)
(13:50:00) ForSovietRussia: You all successfully dodge the falling door as it clangs to the floor.
(13:50:24) L17713ANGRYM4N: "Right then. Onward, before more dogs show up."
(13:50:49) Laharl01: "Sounds fine, not that Trunac seems to have had much trouble."
(13:50:55) Drew: "Everyone in. Let's move.!"
(13:52:51) Unable to send message: The message is too large.
(13:52:57) ForSovietRussia: This large circular chamber is empty except for a stone pool at its center. From a distance, the pool appears to be filled with gently rippling black water.
(13:52:58) ForSovietRussia: A single door to the east is carved with the same six dragonmarks as the pillar in the chamber above.
(13:53:19) Laharl01: "Let me check for traps first."
(13:53:33) Laharl01: (26)
(13:54:01) ForSovietRussia: (you are going near the fountain?)
(13:54:08) ForSovietRussia: (pool)
(13:54:41) Laharl01: (guess so)
(13:55:44) Unable to send message: The message is too large.
(13:55:50) ForSovietRussia: Four ghostly black forms rise from the surface of the pool, their cowled faces hidden as the glide gently toward you.
(13:55:51) ForSovietRussia: Behind them materializes a translucent gray figure in ceremonial robes, hollow sockets gaping where its eyes should be.
(13:55:56) ForSovietRussia: Initiatives!
(13:56:11) L17713ANGRYM4N: (21, dex 20)
(13:56:25) Laharl01: (Aiolos: 8, Manta: 25)
(13:56:40) Eric Shealy: (Trnac 18, dex 14)
(13:57:08) Drew: (Balthazar 12, Nemo 10)
(14:00:21) ForSovietRussia: (Up first: Manta)
(14:00:38) Laharl01: Manta launches a blast at one of the creatures.
(14:00:44) Laharl01: (nat 1)
(14:00:53) ForSovietRussia: (Felix, go)
(14:03:08) L17713ANGRYM4N: Felix moves to one of the shadowy thingies and attacks
(14:03:53) L17713ANGRYM4N: (14+11=25)
(14:04:08) ForSovietRussia: (Hit)
(14:04:34) L17713ANGRYM4N: (16 damage)
(14:05:02) ForSovietRussia: The shadow shrieks as bits of it begin to dissipate
(14:05:21) ForSovietRussia: One of the shadows moves to attack Aiolos.
(14:05:32) ForSovietRussia: (FF Touch AC?)
(14:05:42) Laharl01: (11)
(14:06:17) ForSovietRussia: It reaches through Aiolos armor and skin, and he feels the strength being sapped from him. (3 points of STR damage)
(14:09:01) ForSovietRussia: The robed figure behind the fountain flies towards Balthazar and extends its ghostly hand towards him. (Touch FF AC?)
(14:10:01) Drew: (AC 14)
(14:10:34) ForSovietRussia: The figures hand somehow doesn't touch Balthazar.
(14:10:42) ForSovietRussia: (Trunac, go)
(14:11:05) Eric Shealy: Well... not sure what I'm gonna do to these guys.
(14:11:16) Laharl01: (charge)
(14:11:21) Eric Shealy: kk
(14:14:58) Eric Shealy: Trunac charges the nearest ghostly thing with a flurry of axeblows.
(14:15:12) ForSovietRussia: (and they all miss due to miss chance)
(14:15:28) ForSovietRussia: Trunacs axes fly through the figure doing no apparent damage.
(14:15:53) Eric Shealy: Trunac is sad. Ragey sad.
(14:16:13) ForSovietRussia: The shadowy figure Trunac tried to attack extends its ghostly hand towards him.
(14:16:19) ForSovietRussia: (Touch AC?)
(14:18:58) ForSovietRussia: The figure seems to forget that Trunac is a dwarf and puts his hand where a human's chest would have been.
(14:19:19) ForSovietRussia: The figure behind that one moves and tries to do the same to Trunac.
(14:19:50) ForSovietRussia: And remembers that Trunac is a dwarf, sliding his hand into Trunac and sapping his strength. (5 STR damage)
(14:20:37) ForSovietRussia: (Accountant of the Gods, go)
(14:23:59) ForSovietRussia: (CARD: Planar Rift - Normal damage and target sent to a random plane)
(14:24:53) Drew: Balthazar casts Cure Critical Wounds on the one in front of him (22 CON to cast defensively) Touch 28 (crit)
(14:25:05) ForSovietRussia: A rift opens in the magic-space-time-continuum and sends the vile creature to the positive energy plane.
(14:25:28) ForSovietRussia: *Negative
(14:25:34) ForSovietRussia: *Negative energy plane
(14:25:52) Drew: Balthazar looks at the rift, and back at his hand with wide eyes.
(14:25:58) Drew: "Well, okay then."
(14:27:20) ForSovietRussia: (Nemo, GO)
(14:30:55) Drew: Nemo gets into position, and breathes a line of superheated steam at two of them. (5 fire, DC 14 for 2)
(14:32:08) ForSovietRussia: One of the shadowy figures dodges it line completely, but the other is caught in it for full effect.
(14:32:24) ForSovietRussia: and it dissipates into nothingness.
(14:32:42) ForSovietRussia: (Aiolos, go)
(14:33:16) Laharl01: (any of them still next to me?)
(14:33:30) ForSovietRussia: (one N of you)
(14:33:43) Laharl01: Aiolos tumbles 20' south and launches a shot from his wand. Or tries to.
(14:33:55) Laharl01: (Magic Missile wand, UMD 27)
(14:34:01) ForSovietRussia: (success, roll damage)
(14:34:25) Laharl01: (9 damage)
(14:34:46) ForSovietRussia: Bits fall off of the thing and dissapate
(14:35:18) ForSovietRussia: The shadow behind the one Aiolos just shot moves to Dave and tries to touch him.
(14:35:26) ForSovietRussia: And misses horrendously.
(14:35:35) ForSovietRussia: (Up next: Manta)
(14:36:02) Laharl01: Manta shoots at the one Aiolos just shot.
(14:36:09) Laharl01: (nat 20)
(14:36:19) Laharl01: (confirm 17)
(14:36:41) ForSovietRussia: (confirms, nothing usable from card and no extra damage)
(14:36:49) ForSovietRussia: (roll damage)
(14:36:55) Laharl01: (12)
(14:37:48) ForSovietRussia: The figure screeches and dissipates.
(14:37:58) ForSovietRussia: (Felix, go)
(14:38:05) L17713ANGRYM4N: (How many left?
(14:38:07) L17713ANGRYM4N: )
(14:38:55) L17713ANGRYM4N: (and where?)
(14:39:31) ForSovietRussia: (you've got one adjacent to you and one 10' away threatening trunac)
(14:40:07) L17713ANGRYM4N: (Full attack on one next to me, attack rolls 22 and 18)
(14:40:28) ForSovietRussia: (first misses, second hits)
(14:40:45) L17713ANGRYM4N: (20 damage)
(14:41:26) ForSovietRussia: The shadow dissapates in a screech.
(14:41:55) ForSovietRussia: (Trunac, Go. You have on ajdacent to you (its the last one))
(14:44:34) ForSovietRussia: (16 hits)
(14:44:44) ForSovietRussia: (10 misses)
(14:45:08) ForSovietRussia: (17 hits)
(14:45:38) ForSovietRussia: (20 hits)
(14:46:32) ForSovietRussia: The shadow figure screeches and goes poof.
(14:47:29) Eric Shealy: "I think I'll sit."
(14:47:51) Laharl01: "Me too...those things take a lot out of you, don't they?"
(14:49:31) Drew: "Who needs restorative magic?"
(14:49:51) Laharl01: "Me, but I think Trunac's hurt worse."
(14:51:00) Drew: Balthazar casts Lesser Restoration on Aiolos (4 points), and then Trunac (4 points)
(14:52:50) Laharl01: "Thanks, Balthazar."
(14:53:07) Laharl01: Aiolos walks over to the door. "This looks familiar, let me check for any more surprises."
(14:53:18) Laharl01: (28)
(14:53:23) ForSovietRussia: (You find nothing)
(14:53:45) Laharl01: "Alright, here goes." Aiolos concentrates on his dragonmark, activating it,
(14:53:49) Laharl01: *.
(14:54:42) ForSovietRussia: The door whirs and clicks for about a minute as it unlocks before sliding open.
(14:55:04) ForSovietRussia: You see a green glow from inside the next room.
(14:55:13) L17713ANGRYM4N: "All right. Next room. Hey, Trunac, how're you doing there?"
(14:55:33) Laharl01: "I've never been a fan of that color light..."
(14:55:51) Eric Shealy: "I'm better. I think I'll manage."
(14:56:28) L17713ANGRYM4N: "Well, if everyone's back on his feet, let's go then." And on to the next room.
(14:56:43) Laharl01: Aiolos follows the catfolk.
(14:57:00) Drew: Balthazar follows suite.
(14:57:29) Eric Shealy: ditto
(14:58:16) ForSovietRussia: Images float gently through the air in this room. Each one seems to convey a scene, as if viewed through a crystal ball.
(14:58:21) ForSovietRussia: A raised dais on the far wall is the only feature. Upon the dais is an ornately carved marble sarcophagus studded with glowing green crystals.
(14:58:22) ForSovietRussia: It is covered in strange runes and images of humans and hideous creatures doing battle.
(14:59:05) Drew: (Know Arcana: 24)
(14:59:19) ForSovietRussia: (to know what?)
(14:59:29) Drew: (anything?)
(14:59:58) Drew: (the images)
(15:00:18) ForSovietRussia: The images appear to be memories of an adventurer, most likely Jhaemast, whose tomb this is.
(15:00:18) Drew: (nevermind)
(15:01:10) Drew: "Well, I see two eyes."
(15:01:18) Drew: "Weren't we supposed to get one?"
(15:01:57) L17713ANGRYM4N: "What are these images anyway?" (Spot 20)
(15:02:49) ForSovietRussia: Felix sees an image that looks like the Altar of the Dragon's Eye in Q'barra. You see the man take the relic that must have been missing from when you where there.
(15:03:19) L17713ANGRYM4N: "Hey guys, have a look at this." *points out the image inquestion*
(15:03:26) Laharl01: "Interesting..."
(15:05:01) Laharl01: (Spot check to see anything else of interest in the room that hasn't been mentioned yet: 25)
(15:05:13) ForSovietRussia: (Nothing)
(15:05:35) Drew: Balthazar examines the sarcophagus.
(15:05:36) L17713ANGRYM4N: "I wonder if that object is what we're looking for."
(15:05:39) Laharl01: Aiolos walks over to the dais. "Guess we'd better get a look around up here."
(15:06:37) ForSovietRussia: The sarcophagus is made of marble and can be opened in theory.
(15:06:51) Eric Shealy: str check?
(15:06:56) Laharl01: "Trunac? We're gonna need some brute force over here."
(15:06:57) ForSovietRussia: (go for it)
(15:07:13) Eric Shealy: (21)
(15:07:50) ForSovietRussia: The cover to the sarchophagus slides off, revealing a dessicated corpse. On its forehead is a mithral circlet, identical to the one you saw in the image.
(15:08:08) ForSovietRussia: On its shoulder is a discoloration that looks like a dragonmark.
(15:08:17) L17713ANGRYM4N: "Is that it? What we've come all this way to find?"
(15:08:23) Laharl01: "That looks like something we might need."
(15:08:37) ForSovietRussia: <PAUSE>
(15:09:20) ForSovietRussia: A sudden chill threads the chamber, and with a hideous shriek, a creature born of nightmare manifests in the doorway behind you.
(15:10:03) ForSovietRussia: Unblinking eyes and stunted limbs cover its torso and its powerful claws and stinger tipped tail thrash as it slithers toward you.
(15:10:07) ForSovietRussia: <RESUME>
(15:10:11) ForSovietRussia: (INITIATIVES!)
(15:10:21) L17713ANGRYM4N: (20, dex 20)
(15:10:26) Laharl01: (Aiolos: 22, Manta: 12)
(15:10:59) Eric Shealy: (Trunac 8, dex 14)
(15:11:43) ForSovietRussia: (Balthazar, Nemo)
(15:12:22) Drew: (Balthazar 9, Nemo 24 (dex 12)
(15:13:06) ForSovietRussia: (Up first, Nemo. The thing is 30' away from you.)
(15:14:01) Drew: Nemo moves up, and unleashes a blast (line) of steam at the foul creature (1 damage, DC 14 for 1).
(15:14:31) ForSovietRussia: It dodges out of the way and just gets nicked by the steam
(15:14:40) ForSovietRussia: (Up next: Aiolos)
(15:15:14) Laharl01: Aiolos sprints in and stabs with his sword.
(15:15:24) Laharl01: (30 attack)
(15:15:34) ForSovietRussia: (Hit, roll damage and sneak/skrimish)
(15:15:41) Laharl01: (28 damage)
(15:16:19) ForSovietRussia: The creature shrieks loudly and flails at Aiolos.
(15:16:23) ForSovietRussia: (AC?)
(15:16:36) Laharl01: (26)
(15:17:16) ForSovietRussia: (Gimme a will save)
(15:17:22) Laharl01: (sonofabitch)
(15:17:35) Laharl01: (25 after AP boost)
(15:17:51) ForSovietRussia: You felt the things telepathic commands in your head but drove them out.
(15:18:13) ForSovietRussia: (Felix, go)
(15:18:47) L17713ANGRYM4N: Move to flank (if possible) and attack
(15:19:22) ForSovietRussia: (you cant get into position to flank, roll attack)
(15:19:41) L17713ANGRYM4N: (17+11=28; confirm= 29)
(15:20:17) ForSovietRussia: (hit, confirm. Card: We've got a bleeder - normal damage and 2d6 bleed)
(15:20:43) L17713ANGRYM4N: (15 damage, 11 bleed)
(15:22:32) ForSovietRussia: The thing shrieks as Felix's blade leaves a gaping wound in its side
(15:23:31) ForSovietRussia: (Manta, go)
(15:23:44) Laharl01: Manta launches an eldritch blast at the thing.
(15:23:51) Laharl01: It sails wide.
(15:24:00) ForSovietRussia: (Balthazar, go)
(15:25:18) Drew: With a wild yell, Balthazar charges at it.
(15:25:36) Drew: "DIE FOUL CREATURE!!! AAAAAHHH!!!"
(15:25:55) Drew: (ac 23)
(15:26:21) ForSovietRussia: Balthazar misses.
(15:26:59) Drew: (ap boosted to 27)
(15:27:02) ForSovietRussia: Hit
(15:27:45) Drew: (9 magic bludgeoning, 5 shock)
(15:28:34) ForSovietRussia: (Up next: Trunac)
(15:29:58) ForSovietRussia: (roll attacks)
(15:30:11) Eric Shealy: Trunac charges and flurries.
(15:30:27) Eric Shealy: And lands a single blow.
(15:30:57) Eric Shealy: (23 damage)
(15:31:41) ForSovietRussia: (up next, nemo)
(15:33:26) Drew: Nemo surges up, eager to strike the creatures from range. (atk roll 25)
(15:33:32) ForSovietRussia: (miss)
(15:33:42) Drew: ((sorry, 27)
(15:33:49) ForSovietRussia: (hit)
(15:34:13) Drew: (11 magic, piercing)
(15:34:26) ForSovietRussia: (Up next, Aiolos)
(15:35:45) Laharl01: Aiolos tumbles past the creature into a flanking position for another stab.
(15:35:50) Laharl01: (Tumble 29)
(15:35:56) ForSovietRussia: (succeed,roll attack)
(15:36:02) Laharl01: (32)
(15:36:05) ForSovietRussia: (hit)
(15:36:11) Laharl01: (27 damage)
(15:36:34) ForSovietRussia: The creatures is bleeding its strange colored blood all over the place and is clearly near death.
(15:36:41) ForSovietRussia: It flails out with all its limbs
(15:36:42) Laharl01: "FINISH HIM!"
(15:36:57) ForSovietRussia: (I need ACs from Aiolos, Trunac, and Balthazar)
(15:37:02) Laharl01: (26)
(15:37:29) Drew: (B22, N24)
(15:37:57) ForSovietRussia: (nemo is out of range of its attacks, hes got a reach weapon IIRC)
(15:38:14) Eric Shealy: um 24 normally, -4 for rage and charge
(15:38:15) Laharl01: (he does)
(15:38:37) ForSovietRussia: The creature's 2 pincers lash out at Balthazar.
(15:39:10) ForSovietRussia: (12 and 15 damage to Balthazar)
(15:39:25) ForSovietRussia: The 4 claws on its torso grope at Trunac.
(15:40:27) ForSovietRussia: (5, 4, 5, 7 damage to Trunac)
(15:42:09) Eric Shealy: "Shit! Ow!"
(15:42:31) ForSovietRussia: And its tail lashes at Aiolos (critting)
(15:42:49) ForSovietRussia: Its tail stabs Aiolos right in the eye.
(15:43:38) ForSovietRussia: (27 damage, 2 Con drain, -4 on spot, search, and ranged attacks until eye is regenned. Oh, and give me a will save too)
(15:45:22) Laharl01: (16 will save)
(15:45:31) ForSovietRussia: (gimme a fort save)
(15:45:49) ForSovietRussia: Horrific images begin to coalesce inside your mind.
(15:45:55) Laharl01: (17)
(15:46:22) Laharl01: (*23)
(15:47:19) ForSovietRussia: You succeed in driving out the phantasms in your mind (just barely) but they rip away some of your energy. (take 22 points of damage)
(15:47:48) Laharl01: Aiolos crumples to the floor.
(15:47:51) Drew: (Immediate action to cast Close wounds 7 points)
(15:48:01) Laharl01: And gets back up.
(15:48:07) ForSovietRussia: This appears to be the last effort this creature had as its wounds spurt more blood and it collapses ontop of aiolos.
(15:48:32) Drew: The party proceeds to bash and stab at it for a few moments.
(15:48:47) Laharl01: Aiolos tries to squeeze out from under it.
(15:48:48) ForSovietRussia: Dave takes 1 more point of damage from the creature falling on him
(15:48:49) L17713ANGRYM4N: "Looks like it bled out."
(15:48:59) ForSovietRussia: *Aiolos
(15:49:04) ForSovietRussia: <PAUSE>
(15:49:05) Laharl01: "I...guess...get this thing...off me!"
(15:49:21) L17713ANGRYM4N: Felix helps the monster off Aiolos
(15:49:29) ForSovietRussia: Aiolos's eye is missing
(15:49:30) Drew: Balthazar casts CSW on Aiolos (28 points)
(15:49:38) ForSovietRussia: It has been ripped completely out.
(15:50:02) ForSovietRussia: The creature continues to flow blood.
(15:50:09) Laharl01: "My eye...guess I'll be giving a rather substantial donation to one of the temples..."
(15:50:38) L17713ANGRYM4N: "Yeah, looks that way. Don't worry buddy, I'll chip in."
(15:51:00) ForSovietRussia: The ghostly images begin to circle around.
(15:51:05) Drew: (Balthazar then casts lesser restoration on him, 3 CON)
(15:51:09) L17713ANGRYM4N: "Oh, what now?"
(15:51:11) ForSovietRussia: And finally merge together in a flash of light.
(15:51:39) ForSovietRussia: When your vision clears, there is a translucent and softly glowing image of a human male floating above the sarcophagus
(15:51:42) Laharl01: "Thank you, Balthasar."
(15:51:53) ForSovietRussia: He looks hardy and weathered, and an aberrant dragonmark is on his shoulder.
(15:52:03) L17713ANGRYM4N: "Jheamaast, I presume?"
(15:52:05) ForSovietRussia: "Greetings strangers,"
(15:52:23) ForSovietRussia: (jeez people, i said PAUSE)
(15:52:44) Laharl01: (given my health, we have more important concerns than some guy appearing out of nowhere)
(15:53:13) ForSovietRussia: "I would say I owe you my life for freeing me from my tormenter, but it was merely visiting upon me the same honor i bestowed it in my life."
(15:53:26) ForSovietRussia: "It is better off destroyed however, and for that you have my thanks."
(15:53:41) ForSovietRussia: "Yes, it is I Jheamast,"
(15:53:48) ForSovietRussia: </PAUSE>
(15:54:17) L17713ANGRYM4N: "Uh, sorry to sound abrupt, but what the hell was that thing?"
(15:54:42) Drew: Balthazar casts CSW on himself.
(15:55:20) ForSovietRussia: "That was a Quori, a creature from the realm of nightmares, which I trapped in my mind many years ago."
(15:56:08) L17713ANGRYM4N: "And... why?"
(15:56:12) ForSovietRussia: "Why/.
(15:56:17) Drew: Balthazar finishes by casting CSW on Trunac. (20 points)
(15:57:07) ForSovietRussia: *"Why did I do it? Because I was seeking to overthrow the lords of Sarlona who were in their service. By binding it to me I gained some of its powers. But it was not enough, so I sought the Dragon's Eye"
(15:58:12) Laharl01: "What exactly is the Dragon's Eye, anyway?"
(15:59:27) ForSovietRussia: "An unfinished artifact, designed to control dragonkind. You thought it was a tangible relic like I did? I spent my life chasing it, but never found it."
(15:59:33) ForSovietRussia: (theres more)
(16:00:56) Unable to send message: The message is too large.
(16:02:23) ForSovietRussia: "The dragon's defeated the Eye's demonic creator before it could be finished. They moved the power source to the Orrery of Vortuum, an abandoned observatory in Argnossen.
(16:02:23) ForSovietRussia: However, it seems the magical energies used in its construction remain in Kha'shazul."
(16:03:00) Laharl01: "Kha'shazul?"
(16:03:06) L17713ANGRYM4N: "And that's where these wierd marks come from."
(16:03:11) ForSovietRussia: (you should know that name, it was the temple in act 1)
(16:03:19) Laharl01: (ignore that, then)
(16:03:52) Drew: "Where is Argonessen is this observatory?"
(16:04:18) ForSovietRussia: "It is south of Talon Bay, atop the Crater of Fangs."
(16:04:37) Drew: "Someone make a note."
(16:04:43) Laharl01: Manta makes a note.
(16:04:57) L17713ANGRYM4N: "Whoa, whoa, wait a minute Balthasar. This is Argonessen we're talking about. Land of dragons, remember?"
(16:05:35) L17713ANGRYM4N: "We don't just prance on down there because we've heard the name."
(16:06:15) Drew: "I'm aware of that, Felix."
(16:06:15) L17713ANGRYM4N: "Unless there's some reason to go there... These marks don't actually kill people do they?"
(16:06:28) Drew: "Neither was I suggesting we just prance in there."
(16:06:48) ForSovietRussia: "The marks killed the rest of my group, I survived because I was able to get to the Orrerry. It seemed to cancel out the curse that the marks had."
(16:06:54) Drew: "But I have a feeling we need to get there."
(16:07:26) L17713ANGRYM4N: Felix stares at Jheamaast for a minute. "You have got to be joking. Looks like we don't have much of a choice then does it?"
(16:08:27) Drew: "If extra planar dream spirits are involved, then this is a lot bigger than we thought."
(16:08:51) L17713ANGRYM4N: "You don't say."
(16:09:41) L17713ANGRYM4N left the room.
(16:10:19) Drew: "Which means that we have a duty to see it through."
(16:10:37) Laharl01: "Indeed. After we go back someplace where I can get my eye regrown."
(16:10:58) Drew: "Agreed."
(16:11:34) ForSovietRussia: "Well, is there anything else?" Jheamast asks
(16:11:54) Drew: "Thank you Quori-hunter. We shall take on your quest as our own, and do our best to see it finished.
(16:11:56) Eric Shealy left the room.
(16:12:09) Laharl01: Manta asks "Can you give us any more details on where in Argonessen this observatory is?"
(16:13:08) ForSovietRussia: "It is inland from Talon Bay. You cant miss it, it sits atop the Crater of Fangs and almost always has a lightning storm going on above it.
(16:13:22) Laharl01: "Alright, thank you."
(16:13:53) Laharl01: (I'm done if you are)
(16:14:03) ForSovietRussia: He hovers over to his body and says "Oh, you can take the circlet, just don't destroy my skull when you take it."
(16:14:03) Drew: (Done.)
(16:14:12) ForSovietRussia: And with that he merges with the corpse and is gone.
(16:14:27) Drew: Balthazar removes the circlet as carefully as he can.
(16:15:05) ForSovietRussia: Balthazar gets the circlet without damaging the skull.
(16:15:08) Drew: Trunac then slides the top of the sarcophagus into place.
(16:15:23) ForSovietRussia: The room is slient as the images begin to flow around the room again.
(16:15:38) Drew: "Rest in peace."
(16:15:45) Drew: "Let's go."
(16:15:54) ForSovietRussia: (heading out?)
(16:15:57) Laharl01: (yes)
(16:16:01) Drew: (aye)
(16:16:18) ForSovietRussia: Your trip out of the tomb is uneventful until you get to where Seamus was supposed to be.
(16:16:33) ForSovietRussia: He isn't there, but his gear is.
(16:16:38) ForSovietRussia: Including his clothing.
(16:16:51) Drew: "Seamus!!!" Balthazar calls out.
(16:17:06) Laharl01: "Oh god, he's streaking somewhere." Aiolos mutters as he grabs Seamus's equipment and clothing.
(16:17:17) ForSovietRussia: His shirt and jacket have 2 strange tears in the back like something had forced its way out. The tears are vertical.
(16:18:32) ForSovietRussia: Seamus's gear consists of: Masterwork rapier, Cloak of CHA +2, Bracers of Armor +2, Ring of Protection +1, Amulet of Natural Armor +1, Eversmoking Bottle, and a shortbow with 60 arrows
(16:19:12) Laharl01: "We've explored everything behind us, so he must be closer to the ship."
(16:19:17) ForSovietRussia: The party collects up his stuff and continues out of the tomb. (Spot checks)
(16:19:50) Drew: (B17, N11, 7)
(16:19:55) Laharl01: (33 for aiolos)
(16:20:49) ForSovietRussia: You see signs that someone has been here recently, since you entered the tomb.
(16:22:01) ForSovietRussia: The tracks head in the direction your ship is in.
(16:22:19) Laharl01: The party walks over to the ship.
(16:23:48) ForSovietRussia: When you finally reach the ship, there are people waiting for you. There is a campfire going where you made camp previously. Sitting at it are two humanoid figures.
(16:24:13) Drew: "Who goes there?!"
(16:26:18) ForSovietRussia: The figures stand and turn to you. One of them is a male elf with a metal arm wearing a chainshirt and the other one is an female elf wearing robes usually worn by mages.
(16:28:31) ForSovietRussia: "Oh good, we have been waiting for you. Sur'kil sent us, he requires your assistance," the male elf says in a hurried voice.
(16:29:38) Drew: "How did you get here?" (Sense Motive 29)
(16:31:28) ForSovietRussia: "We flew here," the female answers. (no lie detected)
(16:32:12) Drew: "How did you know where to find us?" (Sense Motive 28)
(16:33:20) ForSovietRussia: "Sur'kil gave me a description of your group so that I could divine your location. Except one of you seems to be missing," she says.
(16:33:55) Drew: "Very well."
(16:34:20) Drew: "Pardon me more my skepticism, but this has been a less than average day."
(16:34:30) Drew: "And, week, for that matter."
(16:35:30) ForSovietRussia: "Nor has it been for us, Sur'kil contacted us 3 days ago when he was not able to contact you. He has been kidnapped by his enemies and taken to Argnossen, he tasked us with finding you and together, we are to rescue him."
(16:36:02) Laharl01: "He'd better shell out for this," Aiolos mutters sourly.
(16:36:37) ForSovietRussia: "He will most likely pay very well if you rescue him"
(16:38:51) Drew: "Right then, let's get going."
(16:40:13) ForSovietRussia: "Indeed, Sur'kil wishes us to sail to Talon Bay and make our way to Fang Crater where he is being held hostage."
(16:40:52) Drew: "Balthazar looks at Aiolos."
(16:40:52) Laharl01: "How convenient. That's exactly where we're going. After a stop someplace civilized so I can get my eye regrown."
(16:41:45) ForSovietRussia: "There is not really time for that, but Regalport is on the way to our destination," the female elf answers.
(16:43:29) Drew: "The spell does not take that long to cast. It will be more a matter of finding someone who can cast it."
(16:43:43) Drew: "The spell is quite powerful."
(16:43:50) Drew: "But, we digress."
(16:43:55) Drew: "Let's get going."
(16:47:50) ForSovietRussia: The party gets on the boat and Manta sails them away
(16:48:00) Laharl01 left the room.
(16:48:02) Drew left the room.

[14:33] judson256: "Enraged elementals make a spot secure?"
[14:33] theonecag: "Well, maybe before we killed it!"
[14:33] Squall2551337: "No, but now that they're gone, I think it's safe to say that nothing is going to come anywhere near here for a few hours."
[14:33] judson256: "I was thinking that where theres one, theres likely to be more"
[14:33] theonecag: Balthazar said, motioning to the burn marks on his armor.
[14:33] L17713ANGRYM4N: "Not from this airship."
[14:34] judson256: "You an airship expert kitty?"
[14:34] Squall2551337: "Well, how many mages bind MULTIPLE elementals to anything?"
[14:34] judson256: "Know all the ins and outs?"
[14:34] L17713ANGRYM4N: "Are you?"
[14:34] judson256: "Since I'm not, I'd rather be safe than sorry"
[14:35] theonecag: ((Know: Arcana 20 to know the number of elementals bound in a ship))
[14:35] L17713ANGRYM4N: "Speaking of which, let's go find this 'course' that we're supposed to be getting off our dead friend, shall we?"
[14:35] Squall2551337: "Well, we can decide what we're going to do about camp after we learn what we came here to learn."

[14:38] theonecag: "I was thinking that where theres one, theres likely to be more"
[14:38] ForSovietRussia: Balthazar recalls that normal airships and all elemental craft in general only have one elemental
[14:39] Squall2551337: *Manta flies over to the skeleton in the pilots section of the ruined aircraft."
[14:39] theonecag: "To my knowledge, which I'll admit is mot immense with regards to airships, there is usually only one fire elemental per airship."
[14:40] ForSovietRussia: The helm of the ship is ruined in all regards, with a skeleton draped over the helm itself.
[14:40] Squall2551337: *Manta goes over and inspects the skeleton*
[14:40] theonecag: "So, we should be safe." Balthazar finished, calling on his deity to cure his wounds. ((casting Cure Serious Woulds for 26 points of healing))

[14:42] ForSovietRussia: Manta notices that the hand of the skeleton, presumably the navigator mentioned in the journal, is pointing at the compass.
[14:43] Squall2551337: *Manta then looks at the compas, and then pulls out his own to compare the directions*
[14:44] ForSovietRussia: The compass is not pointing north, but why would it. It was locked in place by way of a dagger stabbed through the glass cover.
[14:44] ForSovietRussia: The compass appears to be pointing due east.
[14:44] L17713ANGRYM4N: "Oh, that's charming. Looks like our friend here had some sort of disagreement with somebody."
[14:45] Squall2551337: "Well, this poor sap seems to want us to go East"
[14:45] *** ForSovietRussia has left the chat.
[14:45] L17713ANGRYM4N: "And the journal couldn't have just said so, heavens no."
[14:45] Squall2551337: nope
[14:45] Squall2551337: *(add quotes)
[14:46] *** ForSovietRussia has joined the chat.
[14:46] ForSovietRussia: (RECOMMENCE)
[14:47] Squall2551337: "Well, What's the consensus men? Camp here for the night? or strike East and hope we find a good place to rest after a few more miles?"
[14:48] L17713ANGRYM4N: "I vote for East, but that's just me."
[14:48] judson256: "I say we go onwards, see if we can find something more concrete"
[14:51] theonecag: "Well, we can either follow some obscure prophecy, or we can wander until we run out of supplies, or get eaten. My vote is for the prophecy."
[14:51] Squall2551337: Nemo: "I'd like to get a little closer to a river or a stream. Someplace with some water."
[14:53] Squall2551337: Manta:" Alright, Seems like we're going to keep walking. And our prophesy says to venture this way" *gestures east,*
[14:54] Squall2551337: *As he flies back to the group, Manta makes a quick hike above the treetops to see what's in that direction*
[14:54] theonecag: "But I would to put forth the notion that we rest here a bit. I believe that Kol Korran would grant me more spell power, if I could meditate on it."
[14:56] Squall2551337: Nemo: "I'm running low on spells as well, but maybe a little bit more secluded place, near some water would be better?"
[14:57] L17713ANGRYM4N: "Yeah, I like that idea. Hey Cap'n! You see anything up there?"
[14:58] Squall2551337: (Spot check 23)
[14:58] ForSovietRussia: You see trees, trees, and more trees.
[14:59] theonecag: "What do you see!"
[14:59] ForSovietRussia: You also finally realise that you arent ever going to see anything due to the dense canopy. It would have to be a massive clearing for you to see it or you would have to be right by it.
[15:00] Squall2551337: "Nope, just a ton of trees. They're unnaturally close together, making the cannopy too thick to see any indication of water."
[15:00] L17713ANGRYM4N: "Hold on. How far did the poem say to 'hold steady his course' or whatever?"
[15:01] ForSovietRussia: 3 leagues
[15:01] theonecag: "Also, Nemo, you needn't worry about water. Kol Korran grants me many powers, and calling fresh water happens to one of them."
[15:02] Squall2551337: Nemo: "I'm not worried about our supplies, though I do appreciate your god's gifts. It's just that flowing water helps me concentrate, and puts me to sleep at night."
[15:02] L17713ANGRYM4N: "3 leagues, huh. Doesn't sound so far. Shouldn't take too long to find whatever we're looking for."
[15:04] theonecag: "I'd agree more, if we weren't in the middle of this damned forest."
[15:05] Squall2551337: "What's after 3 leagues again? cause if we try, we should be able to hit that right around dusk."
[15:05] L17713ANGRYM4N: "And that'd be an excellent time to rest up before we tackle whatever riddle it throws at us next."
[15:06] Squall2551337: "But what if some form of magic activates when we get there? We could be placed under a time constraint. I say we go 2 leagues, then rest. and Tackle the last league after we're ready."
[15:09] Squall2551337: "What do you think Balthazar? Go all the way, or break before we hit the third league?"
[15:09] L17713ANGRYM4N: "Well. Since there appears to be some concern over this, let me propose something."
[15:10] L17713ANGRYM4N: "We do the two league business, after which Aiolos and I go scout ahead to see if there is some big nasty waiting for us, and report back our findings to you guys. How's that sound, everyone?"
[15:11] Squall2551337: "Sounds good enough. Choose to cross the bridge when we get to it so to speak. Good thinking Felix."
[15:11] theonecag: "Perhaps we should go 2 leagues, and then see how we feel. We have no knowledge of what dangers we may face tomorrow, and Kol Korran only gives me so much."
[15:12] Squall2551337: "Right. And while the rest of us catch our breath, our scouts go on Recon for the morrow's adventure."
[15:12] theonecag: indeed
[15:13] Squall2551337: *Party begins working it's way east*
[15:17] ForSovietRussia: The party continues east....always east....
[15:18] ForSovietRussia: <2 league marker>
[15:18] L17713ANGRYM4N: "Alright. Aiolos let's go have a look, shall we?"
[15:19] Squall2551337: Aiolos: "Sounds like a plan to me. Swift and silent, like a fly on the wall right?"
[15:19] L17713ANGRYM4N: "That's the stuff. We'll be right back, guys."
[15:20] L17713ANGRYM4N: *off ahead go the scouts*
[15:20] Squall2551337: Manta: "Meanwhile, we'll start making some chow for when you get back."
[15:22] theonecag: After praying for a spell (pun intended), Balthazar activates his cloak, and summons forth a rather sizeable portion of prime rib, potatoes, and vegetables.
[15:23] Squall2551337: Nemo and Manta work on collecting wood and building the fire.
[15:23] Squall2551337: *Dinner is being cooked*
[15:24] Squall2551337: *Camera zooms out, and comes back in on the scouting party*
[15:25] ForSovietRussia: The scouting party continues onwards, verily.
[15:25] ForSovietRussia: Eventually they come to a small clearing.
[15:26] ForSovietRussia: In said clearing is a statue similar to the one you found on the beach.
[15:26] ForSovietRussia: Remembering the journal, you recall that "The mournful maiden marks the entrance"
[15:27] Squall2551337: Aiolos: "Well, I've seen one of those before. Looks like another crazy dream tonight if we get the rest of the party down here."
[15:27] ForSovietRussia: (Spot, search, know(nature), survival checks anyone?)
[15:27] L17713ANGRYM4N: (Spot 23)
[15:28] Squall2551337: Aiolos (Spot 31)
[15:28] ForSovietRussia: You see no evidence that any creatures come near the statue.
[15:28] Squall2551337: *not close enough for search*
[15:29] L17713ANGRYM4N: "I don't know, Aiolos. I think the crazy dreams had more to do with whatever was in that box then the statue."
[15:30] Squall2551337: "It's possible, but then we would have had them as soon as we opened the box I think. Also, didn't Manta detect some sorta magic on the statue? Either way, I say it's time to go report our findings."
[15:32] L17713ANGRYM4N: "Hmm. What kind of magic is the question."
[15:33] L17713ANGRYM4N: Felix cautiously approaches the statue.
[15:33] Squall2551337: "I don't remember, but I'm sure he could check again. when he get's here."
[15:33] Squall2551337: "Woah, what are you doing? Let's just head back already."
[15:33] L17713ANGRYM4N: (anything happen?)
[15:33] Squall2551337: "Curriosity killed the cat and all. Let's get backup first."
[15:34] ForSovietRussia: Nothing happens
[15:34] ForSovietRussia: You feel strangely calm though
[15:35] L17713ANGRYM4N: "Interesting. Like some sort of calm aura, but nothing else. But yeah, let's go."
[15:35] Squall2551337: "Gladly." *Scout team returns to report their findings*
[15:36] ForSovietRussia: While one the way back...nothing happens.
[15:36] ForSovietRussia: The scout party returns
[15:36] L17713ANGRYM4N: "Guys! We're back!"
[15:36] Squall2551337: Aiolos: "Yeah, found another one of those statues like back on the beach."
[15:37] L17713ANGRYM4N: "Mournful maiden and all that. Radiates this wierd calm aura, and no creatures have been anywhere near it for quite a while."
[15:37] L17713ANGRYM4N: "Seems safe enough, but I'll leave that to the magic experts."

[15:42] Squall2551337: Manta: "So what do you say Balthazar, Nemo? Up for a little hike after dinner?"
[15:42] theonecag: Finishing his meal, Balthazar tosses the plate away, allowing it to dissolve. He then finds a log, lays down with his head resting on it and says "I'll take last watch." as he falls asleep.
[15:43] theonecag: "And promptly begins to snore."
[15:43] L17713ANGRYM4N: "I guess not."

[15:46] Squall2551337: Nemo: (Know Nature to ID the noise: 25)
[15:46] ForSovietRussia: Nemo has no clue what it is
[15:46] theonecag: Balthazar springs up immediately. "What in the name of the Divine Auditor was that!?!?"
[15:46] Squall2551337: Nemo: "Whatever that was, it wasn't natural."

[15:49] theonecag: ((casting bless))
[15:49] L17713ANGRYM4N: "Yeah, I think discretion is the better part of valor here." *starts moving east*

[15:52] L17713ANGRYM4N: *makes a run for the statue area*
[15:52] Squall2551337: Aiolos and Nemo: *Follow Felix's lead*
[15:53] theonecag: "On that note: Everyone out!" he says, taking off with his allies.
[15:53] ForSovietRussia: The ground starts to rumble as you run off
[15:54] Squall2551337: *Seamus and Trunac run as well*
[15:54] ForSovietRussia: Cracks begin to appear as everyone finishes clearing the campsite...
[15:54] ForSovietRussia: when you are all about 200 feet away a giant wormlike head bursts out of the ground and up through the trees. If you had all still been there you would have been swallowed.
[15:55] ForSovietRussia: The worm goes back down into its hole and the rumbling stops.
[15:56] L17713ANGRYM4N: *shortly thereafter, at the statue* "What... *pant* the.. *gasp*... hell... *pant* was that thing??? *gasp*"

[16:16] L17713ANGRYM4N: "Well, this 'mournful maiden' here was supposed to be guarding some sort of entrance, yes? Presumably that of this tomb we've gone through all this crap to find?"
[16:18] L17713ANGRYM4N: (search 21)
[16:19] ForSovietRussia: You find a chasm with stairs leading down into it. At the bottom you can see what appears to be an entrance to an cave or something that was dug into the wall
[16:20] L17713ANGRYM4N: "Hey guys, I think we found our entrance."
[16:20] Squall2551337: "Well, that looks like the place. You guys ready?"
[16:20] L17713ANGRYM4N: (btw are we close enough to the statue to make out details?)
[16:21] theonecag: "Lets do it." Balthazar replied, activating his weapon, causing magicl sparks to crackle along its length.
[16:22] Squall2551337: (Spot check on the statue Aiolos: 22)
[16:23] ForSovietRussia: On the shoulder of the statue is an strange mark, possibly a dragonmark.
[16:25] Squall2551337: Aiolos: "Hey, this statue has a weird mark on it. Come check it out."
[16:25] L17713ANGRYM4N: *has a look* "Huh, that's funny. looks kinda like a dragonmark."
[16:31] theonecag: "The plot thickens."
[16:31] Squall2551337: Manta: "That's odd, let me look at it." *Detect magic focusing ONLY on the mark*
[16:31] ForSovietRussia: no magic aside from the magic radiating from the statue as a whole which keeps creatures away
[16:32] L17713ANGRYM4N: "Indeed. Well, if what Sur'kil said was true, then that pretty much proves we've got the right place."
[16:35] L17713ANGRYM4N: "Well, no point in standing around gawking. Down, down, into the valley of death, rode the six hundred. Well, seven."
[16:35] Squall2551337: Manta: "Well, the mark is not magical, so I guess it's just a marker."

[16:38] theonecag: "And my weapon should create some light as well."
[16:38] Squall2551337: Nemo: "But I can cast it on any item we want, so it's really who feels like going first."
[16:39] L17713ANGRYM4N: "Magnificent. Gimme a light, and down I go."
[16:39] Squall2551337: Nemo: "Sure thing, what do you want to use as a torch? that sword of yours, or something you can hide if you need to?"
[16:40] L17713ANGRYM4N: "Anything living down there will probably be able to see in the dark anyway. I really don't see much in the way of hiding potential given that. Besides, that's more up Aiolos' alley than mine."
[16:41] L17713ANGRYM4N: "Hit the sword, that way I'll be able to actually fight back."
[16:42] theonecag: "I'll do it."
[16:43] theonecag: "Kol Korran, light this noble feline's path." (casting Light on his weapon).
[16:43] L17713ANGRYM4N: "Sweet. Now that we're not blind down there, onward!" *goes down the creepy dark tunnel first*

[16:56] ForSovietRussia: The Party (R) descends into the Dark Scary Chasm Of Plot Significance (R)
[16:59] ForSovietRussia: The party gets to the bottom of the chasm and finds the Big Foreboding Entrance To Place Of Plot Significance.
[17:01] L17713ANGRYM4N: in we go
[17:03] theonecag: "This place seems important."
[17:03] ForSovietRussia: The party enters the place.
[17:03] ForSovietRussia: (gimme a minute)
[17:03] L17713ANGRYM4N: "Or was a thousand years ago."
[17:04] ForSovietRussia: The entrance gives way to a ledge overlooking a steep drop with no bottom in sight. The sticky webs before you appear to be the only method of traversing the cavern.
[17:05] ForSovietRussia: The tunnel splits, one path going down and the the left, the other staying on the same level and to the right
[17:06] L17713ANGRYM4N: "Oh joy. Can these webs actually support our wieght?"
[17:06] Squall2551337: Manta: "I'm not sure, who's got some rope?"
[17:06] ForSovietRussia: (NOTE: The 'floor' is webs. You need climb or balance checks to move at half speed on them. Attempting to move at more than half speed means you might get entangled.)
[17:06] theonecag: "I don't plan on finding out."
[17:07] ForSovietRussia: CORRECTION: the path to the left goes UP
[17:07] theonecag: "To the skies." Balthazar whispers, as wind seems to rush by him. Suddenly, his feet lift up about 2 inches, and he begins to airwalk.
[17:08] Squall2551337: "Balthazar, you going to join me in the air now? Kol Korran mus be starting to like you!"
[17:08] L17713ANGRYM4N: Well, I've got a nice little fly potion in case it breaks. Here I go." *takes a deep breath and steps out on the web floor to the right* (balance check: 26)
[17:08] Squall2551337: Manta: "woah woah woah, lets get you a rope first."
[17:09] ForSovietRussia: Felix stays steady on the webs
[17:10] L17713ANGRYM4N: "Well, looks like these things have been down here long enough to support me, anyhow. Kinda sad really. Just nobody try moving very fast."
[17:11] Squall2551337: "Woah! let's get a rope out here. Who's got one?"
[17:11] judson256: Seamus moves out onto the webs
[17:11] judson256: taking a swig of whiskey to steady himself before he goes
[17:12] Squall2551337: "Alright, your own dumb faults if you fall. I'm not strong enough to catch you."
[17:12] judson256: ((untrained balance check: 5))
[17:13] ForSovietRussia: Seamus falls over
[17:13] ForSovietRussia: and lands prone on the webs
[17:13] L17713ANGRYM4N: "I told you manta, I have a potion for that."
[17:13] Squall2551337: Aiolos: "Manta, here's some rope. go secure it somewhere so our drukkard friend can make it across."
[17:15] Squall2551337: *Manta takes one end of the rope, and flies to the other side, looking for a place to secure the grappling hook on the end*
[17:15] ForSovietRussia: (Who is on the webs right now?)
[17:15] L17713ANGRYM4N: (felix and seamus: seamus has fallen)
[17:16] Squall2551337: (Is there a doorway on the other end of the webs?)
[17:16] ForSovietRussia: (PAUSE)
[17:16] theonecag: "Hand me a end of the rope, I'l walk it down to him."
[17:16] ForSovietRussia: Manta: While flying through the right side you see many corpses scattered on the webs. (Spot Check)
[17:18] Squall2551337: (Manta's spot check: 20)
[17:18] ForSovietRussia: (How high up are you?)
[17:19] Squall2551337: (Prolly 5' above the webs)
[17:19] ForSovietRussia: (okay)
[17:20] ForSovietRussia: You fly over to the other side and find a place to secure the rope.
[17:21] ForSovietRussia: The rope is secured by the exit from the web chamber to a more normal room with an actual floor.
[17:22] Squall2551337: Manta: "Here ya go Balt, let's get him outta there, then lets wait for them to climb up.
[17:22] Squall2551337: "

[17:23] L17713ANGRYM4N: (no, but felix is still up and moving around)
[17:23] Squall2551337: (he flew towards me I assume, within range of a throw )

(02:04:35 PM) Scott T: "Freaky elf chick huh?"
(02:04:39 PM) Drew: "I take it that everyone else has a strange dream as well."
(02:04:40 PM) Eric: "Let's move some men."
(02:05:02 PM) Scott T: "Lucky bastard. I got stuck with a pint sized klepto who took all my stuff."
(02:05:28 PM) Drew: "All I got was a bleak field of nothingness, and a strange figure I couldn't catch up to."
(02:05:52 PM) Dave: "Indeed, we can talk as we walk." Aiolos starts walking. "Basically, that box had a thirteenth moon locked inside somehow that's related to the Thirteenth Dragonmark."
(02:05:59 PM) Eric: "I had the Dwarf."
(02:07:25 PM) Scott T: "Dwarf?"
(02:07:27 PM) Dave: "One of us will be able to read the book that was in the box, and there's lots of info there we'll need."
(02:08:10 PM) Marty left the room.
(02:08:13 PM) Eric: "Yeah, dwarf forge mistress. Built some kinda high magic ship."
(02:08:54 PM) Marty entered the room.
(02:08:57 PM) Scott T: "Huh. That's interesting. Oh, by the way, anybody have any idea what the hell a kender is?"
(02:09:40 PM) Eric: "Nope, never heard of it."
(02:09:46 PM) Drew: "Can't say I've heard of one."
(02:09:53 PM) Dave: "Me either."
(02:10:30 PM) Scott T: "Hm. Well, that's what the damn halfling-looking bugger in my dream called himself. No matter."
(02:10:57 PM) Marty: PAUSE!
(02:11:12 PM) Marty: (Who is closest to Trunac right now?)
(02:11:36 PM) Dave: (good question)
(02:11:44 PM) Marty: (drew, you is posting in wrong chat)
(02:12:13 PM) Marty: Drew roll initiative
(02:12:39 PM) Marty: (Correction, everyone roll except shealy)
(02:13:01 PM) Scott T: (17)
(02:13:12 PM) Dave: (14)
(02:13:30 PM) Drew: (10)
(02:13:42 PM) Judson: (8)
(02:14:05 PM) Eric: (23)
(02:16:09 PM) Marty: (Drew, FF AC?)
(02:17:38 PM) Drew: ((16))
(02:18:08 PM) Marty: Trunac suddenly launches himself at Balthazar like dwarf out of hell and latches onto his neck with his teeth.
(02:18:18 PM) Scott T: "What the hell??"
(02:18:26 PM) Drew: "Trunahhhhhhhhhh!!!!"
(02:18:39 PM) Dave: ((TRUNAAAAAAC mmJENKINS!))
(02:18:54 PM) Marty: Trunac bites into his neck dealing 6 points of damage.
(02:19:33 PM) Eric: "What the..?"
(02:19:46 PM) Marty: First up...Squall.
(02:19:49 PM) Drew: "Get i'm off! Get 'im off!"
(02:21:30 PM) Eric: "Stand down Trunac!"
(02:21:59 PM) Eric: (Move 5-10 ft. for a clear shot, then Eldritch blast)
(02:23:41 PM) Marty: (IN GAME)
(02:23:42 PM) Marty: (FYI)
(02:23:53 PM) Marty: (INCLUDES ATTACK ROLLS, ACs, ETC)
(02:24:14 PM) Eric: (first roll: nat 20 for a 27)
(02:24:32 PM) Marty: (roll damage)
(02:24:32 PM) Eric: (Confirm: 12 (Touch))
(02:24:48 PM) Marty: (confirms due to DEX loss)
(02:25:47 PM) Eric: (13 damage)
(02:26:39 PM) Marty: (up next...Scott)
(02:28:24 PM) Scott T: (spot check to see if the blast had any effect on his.... sanity: 22)
(02:28:53 PM) Marty: Trunac is still latched onto Balthazar's neck like some crazy dwarven leech.
(02:30:32 PM) Scott T: Felix stabs him and hopes for little damage (roll:24)
(02:30:38 PM) Marty: (hit)
(02:31:01 PM) Scott T: (damage: 17)
(02:31:48 PM) Marty: (Up now...Dave)
(02:32:28 PM) Dave: Aiolos sprints around to get the proper angle and tries smack the enraged dwarf with the flat of his sword to knock some sense into him.
(02:32:51 PM) Dave: (24 attack roll, doing nonlethal, and yes I did apply the penalty)
(02:33:17 PM) Marty: (hit)
(02:33:57 PM) Dave: (21 nonlethal)
(02:35:58 PM) Marty: Trunac remains latched onto Balthazar's neck, but his wounds from the eldritch blast and elven courtblade appear to close a little.
(02:36:04 PM) Marty: Up next...Drew
(02:37:05 PM) Drew: "Off of me, ye blasted dwarf!"
(02:37:43 PM) Drew: ((Grapple 27))
(02:39:27 PM) Marty: Balthazar manages to rip Trunac off of his neck, leaving a set of teeth marks that look like Trunac has grown pointier canine teeth.
(02:39:52 PM) Marty: </COMBAT>
(02:40:07 PM) Marty: <!-- unless the PCs want to beat down on Trunac some more -->
(02:40:24 PM) Shealy: "Huh--wha?!"
(02:40:55 PM) Dave: Aiolos looks distrustfully at Trunac. "You just tried to rip Balthazar's throat out with your teeth."
(02:40:58 PM) Scott T: "Trunac, what the hell is wrong with you!? The hell did you do that for?"
(02:40:58 PM) Eric: "The hell were you doing man?!"
(02:41:51 PM) Shealy: "I.. uh.. don't know? I woke up and... what?"
(02:41:51 PM) Drew: "Kol-Korrans grace." Balthazarr said, channeling the power of the gods into his kneck. (11 points of healing)
(02:42:23 PM) Eric: "My crew members do NOT attack each other. So you better come up with a good reason for us to let you stick around." (24 intimidate)
(02:42:24 PM) Shealy: Trunac continues stuttering confusedly.
(02:42:26 PM) Scott T: "That didn't look like a normal bite wound. Something happen that we don't know about?"
(02:42:38 PM) Drew: "Settle down."
(02:42:51 PM) Drew: "I have a feeling he's just as confused as we are."
(02:43:08 PM) Dave: (rabble rabble rabble)
(02:43:49 PM) Drew: "Trunac, what do you last remember."
(02:43:53 PM) Eric: "Yes. but he's also a liability. And I don't like taking liabilities with me."
(02:44:16 PM) Drew: "Assets equal liabilities. Remember that."
(02:44:49 PM) Judson: "I doubt that our group is in balance, Balthazar."
(02:45:17 PM) Scott T: "Um... guys? the matter at hand?"
(02:45:26 PM) Dave: "Which one?"
(02:45:48 PM) Scott T: "*sigh* Back to the question. Trunac, the last thing you remember?"
(02:47:17 PM) Eric: Manta shoots a glare at Trunac, awaiting a response.
(02:47:19 PM) Shealy: Waking up and feeling kind of funny.
(02:47:47 PM) Eric: "Yeah? funny like just attacking a friend kinda funny?"
(02:47:53 PM) Scott T: "And then nothing, and now you wake up with a few wounds and us yelling at you?"
(02:47:54 PM) Drew: "Cease!"
(02:48:08 PM) Drew: "This is the first time this has happened"
(02:48:20 PM) Shealy: Something came over me that... wasn't me. Magic is not my area of expertise.
(02:48:22 PM) Eric: "And it will be the LAST time as well."
(02:48:29 PM) Drew: "We do not know that."
(02:48:45 PM) Eric: "I aim to make sure of it."
(02:48:48 PM) Scott T: "Captain, please calm down."
(02:48:51 PM) Drew: "but I will not see us turn on him so quickly."
(02:49:26 PM) Eric: "Fine. I'll take a look at him." *Detect Magic on Trunac*
(02:49:30 PM) Scott T: "This came clear out of the blue, and if half the nasty stories I hear about this place are true..."
(02:49:44 PM) Drew: "What stories?"
(02:49:54 PM) Dave: "Beats me."
(02:49:58 PM) Marty: Manta detects no magic around trunac aside from the magic on his gear.
(02:50:45 PM) Scott T: "Balthazar, this is Trebaz Sinara we're talking about. There are alleged to be all kinds of nasty things floating around here. Most of them probably came from a bad mug of ale, but you never know."
(02:51:22 PM) Dave: "Really? I'd never heard of this place before a few weeks ago."
(02:51:43 PM) Eric: turning to look at Felix "I don't detect anything on him. so either it left, or he's responsible. And yeah, I've never heard of it either."
(02:51:55 PM) Drew: "Let me try something." Balthazar said, walking over towards Trunac.
(02:52:20 PM) Drew: "Kol-Korran. Protect his soul." (casting Protection from Evil on Trunac).
(02:53:11 PM) Judson left the room.
(02:54:04 PM) Judson entered the room.
(02:55:44 PM) Shealy: "My will is my own for the time being. Should I feel again as I did this morning, I will take my life and deny that malice its host."
(02:56:30 PM) Drew: "See, Manta, as honorable as we've come to know him for."
(02:57:20 PM) Scott T: "Well, that still doesn't answer the question of what happened to him."
(02:57:26 PM) Eric: "Alright. good enough I guess."
(02:57:28 PM) Drew: "Such hastiness would have lost us a valuable ally." Balthazarr said, giving a rather nasty glare to Manta.
(02:58:54 PM) Eric: "Yeah, but if it happens again, we could still lose and ally.""
(02:59:34 PM) Shealy: "A threat to your life is a threat to your life. I would not hold it against you."
(03:00:22 PM) Eric: "Good man. Now that we have this straightened out, and know that there will be trouble, shall we continue with both our movement, and our talking?"
(03:01:21 PM) Eric: *keeps Detect Magic active, through light concentration*
(03:01:25 PM) Scott T: "Please. Let's get a move on, I'm tired of this by now."
(03:01:31 PM) Dave: Aiolos starts walking wordlessly.
(03:01:42 PM) Drew: "Let's move on."
(03:01:47 PM) Scott T: "Now where were we headed? Some kind of 'ring of fire?'"
(03:02:34 PM) Eric: *Manta pulls out the map, and checks their location*
(03:03:51 PM) Marty: According to the map, you should head northeast until you find "the burning wheel of fire."
(03:03:52 PM) Marty: The journal said to "seek the burning wheel of fire. Within, the dead navigator points the way. Hold steady his course for three leagues."
(03:04:23 PM) Scott T: "Huh. Any bets on what that's supposed to mean?"
(03:04:37 PM) Dave: "Keep going NE for now, I think."
(03:04:43 PM) Eric: "Yeah, Burning wheel of fire. Dunno what it means, but we'll find out soon enough."
(03:05:05 PM) Eric: (that wasn't all instantly relayed to you guys btw)
(03:05:16 PM) Scott T: (sorry)
(03:05:21 PM) Dave: (>_>)
(03:07:03 PM) Eric: (Know Geo to determine NE: 17)
(03:07:50 PM) Marty: You determine that NE is heading inland into a jungle.
(03:08:16 PM) Eric: "looks like we're heading into the Jungle men."
(03:08:39 PM) Dave: "Oh joy. Be still my beating heart."
(03:09:22 PM) Drew: "Thank the Gods for Endure Elements."
(03:09:30 PM) Scott T: "Indeed."
(03:10:05 PM) Eric: "Well, *shows map* that's what this says, so no other choice, I'm afraid."
(03:11:31 PM) Scott T: "Like we expected to run into any other terrain on this godsforsaken rock."
(03:12:01 PM) Eric: "Well, sooner we go, sooner we get back to the open ocean. Let's move men."
(03:12:17 PM) Scott T: *moves*
(03:12:19 PM) Dave: Aiolos nods and starts moving.
(03:12:45 PM) Drew: Balthazar follows suite.
(03:12:52 PM) Eric: *Casts Fell Flight, and walks at 6" off the ground"
(03:13:01 PM) Dave: (showoff)
(03:13:09 PM) Drew: "Bloody showeoff."
(03:13:22 PM) Drew: ((*show-off))
(03:13:26 PM) Scott T: "You guys said it, not me."
(03:13:42 PM) Eric: "better than being caught on vines and such."
(03:13:46 PM) Dave: (mine was OOC, scott)
(03:14:14 PM) Marty: Distracted, Manta promptly flies into a low hanging tree limb.
(03:14:19 PM) Marty: (Commence laughter)
(03:14:33 PM) Scott T: "Are you ok, capn?"
(03:15:16 PM) Eric: "Yeah I'm fine."
(03:15:37 PM) Eric: (would like to note that I'm concentrating on my surroundings to keep Detect Magic active)
(03:17:31 PM) Drew: "Watch those branches. They tend to jump out." Balthazarr says, before tripping on vine and nearly knocking over Trunac.
(03:18:02 PM) Eric: "Yeah, lesser of two evils i guess."
(03:18:05 PM) Scott T: "Good job idi-ah!" as he stumbles into a bush
(03:18:49 PM) Eric: "If only we could all go OVER the forrest."
(03:18:51 PM) Shealy: "Woah, man, what's all this." Trunac remains standing... as the old dwarven saying goes, weebles wobble but they don't fall down.
(03:19:19 PM) Dave: Aiolos pulls his sword out and hacks his way through.
(03:20:29 PM) Eric: *continues to move through the jungle with the party*
(03:20:38 PM) Drew: Balthzar looks at his mace dishearteningly, as he moves towards the back of the group.
(03:21:12 PM) Eric: "Keep going men, I'm going up for a look" *Manta Points skyward*
(03:21:54 PM) Drew: After he flies up. "So when did we elect him leader?"
(03:22:13 PM) Eric: *manta Flies above the treetops, looking out in the direction we're headding (NE) (Spot Check: 22)
(03:22:17 PM) Dave: "About the time he knew what the hell he was doing on a ship."
(03:22:30 PM) Drew: "Well, there is that I suppose."
(03:22:36 PM) Scott T: "Just roll with it. I do not want to deal with the jungle and Manta's ego at the same time."
(03:23:59 PM) Marty: Manta sees jungle, jungle, and more jungle.
(03:25:05 PM) Eric: Manta sigh's and returns to the group
(03:25:15 PM) Marty: No ring of fire in sight, but you can only see about 3 hours travel distance at your present crusing altitude
(03:25:18 PM) Eric: "Looks like it's jungle for as far as the eye can see."
(03:25:28 PM) Dave: "Oh joy."
(03:25:28 PM) Marty: (correction, less than that)
(03:25:39 PM) Scott T: "Just what I always wanted."
(03:26:53 PM) Drew: "That's uplifting."
(03:27:40 PM) Shealy: "Uplifting?" The dwarf looks up at everybody.
(03:28:05 PM) Shealy: (short joke falls flat)
(03:28:11 PM) Eric: "Well, I'll check again when we stop for lunch, maybe we can see something then."
(03:28:14 PM) Dave: Aiolos groans.
(03:28:50 PM) Scott T: "Well, nothing for it." Felix starts hacking his way forward with the rest of them.
(03:30:02 PM) Shealy: Trunac joins in the hacking with both axes.
(03:31:41 PM) Marty left the room.
(03:31:53 PM) Eric: "Carefull not to tire yourselves out. who knows what we may be facing. Maybe if you hacked in shifts, we could conserve some energy."
(03:32:07 PM) Dave: "That might not be a bad idea."
(03:35:28 PM) Marty entered the room.
(03:37:00 PM) Eric: (Know Geography to travel through Jungle faster: 26)
(03:37:19 PM) Marty: You know precisely what the goggles do
(03:37:23 PM) Marty: NOTHING!
(03:37:24 PM) Dave: (NOTHING!)
(03:39:55 PM) Judson: holy shit
(03:40:17 PM) Marty: (okay, DM magic to speed things up)
(03:40:19 PM) Judson: an alligator got swallowed by a burmese python in florida
(03:40:24 PM) Judson: and tore its way out
(03:40:30 PM) Judson: htat is badass

(03:40:40 PM) Judson: wtf
(03:42:18 PM) Eric: *time passes: Lunch time*
(03:43:13 PM) Eric: "I'm going up to see where we are." *moves up a few dozen feet above the treetops (40ft. ish)*
(03:43:21 PM) Marty: you see more jungle
(03:43:34 PM) Eric: (16 spot)
(03:43:41 PM) Marty: you see jungle
(03:43:43 PM) Marty: but no fun and games
(03:43:53 PM) Eric: *looks back the way we came*
(03:44:00 PM) Marty: you see jungle
(03:44:02 PM) Marty: jungle
(03:44:06 PM) Marty: and did i mention, jungle?
(03:44:10 PM) Eric: (still more jungle, can't see where we entered?)
(03:44:20 PM) Marty: absonotetively
(03:44:41 PM) Eric: *flies back down*
(03:46:39 PM) Dave: *walk walk walk*
(03:47:06 PM) Eric: "Well, forrest in every direction. But we're outta sight of where we entered"
(03:47:52 PM) Scott T: "Goody."
(03:48:08 PM) Dave: "Great."
(03:49:02 PM) ***Marty casts Accellerate Overland Movement Interlude
(03:50:53 PM) Marty: After six total hours of haxing, hacking, hax0ring, and |-|4xx0RRi|\|g j00r way through the jungle, you arrive at the +6 Sizing Mainframe of Epic Data and SSN storage.
(03:50:55 PM) Marty: I mean you arrive at a hidden clearing that has a thing in it. It looks to be a crashed airship, half of it embedded in the ground. Flickers of fire dance along the elemental binding ring.
(03:51:22 PM) Dave: "...Ring of Fire, anyone?"
(03:51:25 PM) Scott T: "Airship wreck. I might have known."
(03:51:41 PM) Eric: "looks like one to me."
(03:52:11 PM) Scott T: "How the hell is that ring still holding?"
(03:52:29 PM) Marty: The helm of the vessel is exposed
(03:52:55 PM) Marty: and a strange glow is coming from the base of the uppermost binding strut
(03:53:25 PM) Eric: (Pro Sailoer to know basic ship design: 20)
(03:54:16 PM) Dave: Aiolos goes over to check the weird glow.
(03:56:16 PM) Drew: "Let's just be happy the ring is still holding."
(03:56:32 PM) Eric: "Sounds like a good plan to me."
(03:56:38 PM) Drew: "We'd have a hell of a fight on our hands if that thing got loose."
(03:56:48 PM) Dave: this is true
(03:56:49 PM) Eric: (Do I know where the Navigator would be on this ship?)
(03:56:56 PM) Dave: *" "
(03:57:09 PM) Marty: Its a standard airship. The <ahhnuld>navigator</ahhnuld> would be at the helm.
(03:58:26 PM) Drew: Balthazar is heading for generator to see how stable it looks.
(03:58:41 PM) Eric: "I'm gonna go find that navigator. Nemo, you wanna stand guard around the perimeter, Seamus you wanna see what you can find out about that ring?"
(03:59:54 PM) Marty: (you heading up to the heml?
(03:59:55 PM) Judson: "Sure."
(04:00:07 PM) Marty: (*helm?)
(04:00:08 PM) Eric: (yeah)
(04:00:22 PM) Marty: PAUSE!
(04:00:54 PM) Scott T: (here we go again)
(04:01:55 PM) Marty: As manta flies up to the helm, he catches sight of a body draped over the controls. Before he can do anything a loud roar is heard.
(04:02:03 PM) Marty: The binding ring surges with new life, glowing molten red. The fires writhe and twist and then wrench off of the ring, forming into a 15 foot tall humanoid figure with a jagged mouth of white hot flames.
(04:02:05 PM) Marty: It lurches at you with terrifying speed.
(04:02:09 PM) Marty: </PAUSE>
(04:02:53 PM) Scott T: "I just had to open my mouth, didn't I?"
(04:03:15 PM) Marty: INITIATIVES!

(04:11:23 PM) Marty: The appendages smash into Balthazar and light fire to his hair and his arm. (28 bludgeoning damage, 27 fire damage.)
(04:13:00 PM) Drew: Balthazar wobbled a bit, nearly collapsing from the blow
(04:13:25 PM) Eric: "Balthazar!"

(04:21:59 PM) Marty: Up next: Dave
(04:23:37 PM) Dave: Aiolos looks at this beastie, figures his sword isn't gonna be much help, and steps back 30' (I can't fail the Tumble).
(04:24:05 PM) Dave: He then zaps the monster with a Magic Missile from his wand. Or tries to. (UMD 16...)
(04:25:20 PM) Marty: Nothing happens as Aiolos waves the wand around and tries jabbing it towards his target.
(04:25:31 PM) Marty: Up next: Squall

(22:11:56) Drew entered the room.
(22:13:32) ForSovietRussia: Hokay, so, I dont feel like retyping that monologue about what the cave looked like.
(22:13:50) ForSovietRussia: So, heres the party, sailing into this forbodeing cave.
(22:13:57) ForSovietRussia: It looks like a lions open mouth
(22:14:09) ForSovietRussia: Now, make me spot checks

(22:15:53) Drew: ((Balthazar 7; Captain 7))
(22:17:45) ForSovietRussia: Aiolos notices a creature perched atop a pile of rubble as they sail in. Its large and brass colored and looks like a lion with dragon wings.
(22:17:54) ForSovietRussia: (know (arcana) checks if you want0
(22:18:00) Laharl01: "Lo!" *points*
(22:18:36) Drew: ((Knowledge Arcana: 26 for Balthazar if he can))
(22:18:50) ForSovietRussia: (Tis a Dragonne)
(22:18:54) ForSovietRussia: AND!
(22:19:22) ForSovietRussia: It roars loudly, shaking the cave around you. You hear a cracking noise and look up to see rocks and stalactites falling right onto you
(22:19:28) ForSovietRussia: Roll me Will and Ref saves

(22:29:17) ForSovietRussia: Okay
(22:29:31) ForSovietRussia: Everyone but Trunac made their will saves
(22:30:03) ForSovietRussia: Trunac suddenly feels as if the roar has sucked the strength from him (he is now exhausted)
(22:31:01) ForSovietRussia: Seamus and trunac take 9 damage each as they accidently dodge to where a large rock is falling
(22:31:12) ForSovietRussia: Everyone else takes 4 damage as smaller rocks land on them
(22:31:26) ForSovietRussia: And the dragonne is up
(22:33:45) ForSovietRussia: The dragonne flies at Balthazar. ((Drew, AC?))
(22:36:04) Drew: ((AC 19))
(22:36:27) ForSovietRussia: The dragonne smashes into Balthazar, its clawed hand swiping at him forcefully.
(22:37:02) ForSovietRussia: (Drew, take 10 slashing damage and make a REF save)
(22:37:27) Drew: ((Ref save 15))
(22:37:59) ForSovietRussia: Balthazar manages to roll out of the way before the dragonne sends him flying.
(22:38:20) ForSovietRussia: Up next Nemo (squalls cohort)
(22:40:30) ForSovietRussia: Nemo turns and stabs at the dragonne with his longspear.
(22:41:29) ForSovietRussia: The spear sinks into the dragonnes hide and leaves a bloody wound
(22:41:53) ForSovietRussia: Captain is up!
(22:43:39) Drew: "Have at ye, fiend!" Arrowhawk calls out, as the a ball of pure arcane energy blasts forth at the Dragonne from his palm. ((atk roll 19 touch, 16 dmg if confirm))
(22:44:35) ForSovietRussia: The eldritch blast flies towards the dragonne and splashes against its hide, leaving a nasty wound
(22:45:07) ForSovietRussia: Aiolos is up next
(22:45:50) ForSovietRussia: (everyone is in melee range or a 5' step out of melee range)
(22:46:04) Laharl01: Aiolos tumbles around and slices at the dragonne with his sword. ((Attack roll 30))
(22:46:12) Laharl01: ((Tumbling into a flanking position))
(22:46:15) ForSovietRussia: (Hit)
(22:46:36) ForSovietRussia: (it is assumed that manta is not in melee)
(22:46:41) ForSovietRussia: (for he would be at the ships wheel)
(22:46:50) Laharl01: ((35 damage, all slashing/magic))
(22:47:25) ForSovietRussia: The dragonne howls in pain and bleeds profusely.
(22:47:29) ForSovietRussia: Up next, Felix
(22:47:36) ForSovietRussia: (remember to tell me about crits)
(22:47:45) ForSovietRussia: (for i have the mighty crit deck of fun)
(22:50:53) judson256: Felix steps forward and swings at the beast (attack roll 24)
(22:51:06) ForSovietRussia: (hit, that doesnt sound like a crit)
(22:51:17) judson256: (9 damage)
(22:52:46) judson256: (and 10 sneak attack)
(22:53:55) ForSovietRussia: The dragonne falls unconcious from the attack and proceeds to breed more profusely
(22:54:06) ForSovietRussia: up next: Balthazar
(22:54:22) Laharl01: ((FINISH HIM!))
(22:57:24) Drew: "Into darkness with thou!" Balthazar cries, as he drops his shield spins his sword, and drops down upon the beasts kneck with all of his might." ((crit confirmation 23, 15 nomral and 5 shock damaged))
(23:00:18) ForSovietRussia: The dragonne explodes in a gory mess from the Balthazar's attack.
(23:00:47) ForSovietRussia: The dragonne is no more
(23:00:52) ForSovietRussia: <cue victory music>
(23:00:56) Laharl01: ((Is it an ex-dragonne?))
(23:01:11) ForSovietRussia: ((it is now a deadgonne))
(23:01:18) ForSovietRussia: so
(23:01:24) ForSovietRussia: you have killed the dragonne
(23:02:14) Laharl01: Aiolos says "Shall we continue?"
(23:02:29) judson256: "aye, onwards"
(23:02:35) ForSovietRussia: Nemo says "Perhaps we should search the cavern?"
(23:02:41) Laharl01: Trunac is still exhausted, and asks Balthasar if he can do anything about it.
(23:03:16) Laharl01: Aiolos scans the cavern with his eyes, not his tricorder. ((Spot 26))
(23:03:37) ForSovietRussia: You see an area of dry ground that might have stuff on it, but you cant see from here
(23:03:50) Laharl01: "Land ho, Cap'n!"
(23:03:53) Drew: Balthazar calls upon his deity and casts lesser restoration on Trunac, and then Cure Light Wounds on himself.
(23:05:18) ForSovietRussia: (search checks on the dry land anyone?)
(23:05:46) Laharl01: ((19))
(23:06:34) ForSovietRussia: You find a platinum skull with emerald eyes, a black dragonscale eye batch studded wit small rubies, and a small locked chest. Nemo tells you that none of the items are magical
(23:07:21) ForSovietRussia: (if anyone wants to make appraise checks to determine value go ahead. same goes for open lock check or brute forcing)
(23:07:45) Laharl01: ((Aiolos appraises. 30 and 30.))
(23:08:11) ForSovietRussia: the skull is worth 600 GP and the eye patch is worth 400
(23:08:14) ForSovietRussia: gp
(23:08:54) ForSovietRussia: does anyone have open lock?
(23:08:58) ForSovietRussia: or knock?
(23:09:04) ForSovietRussia: or the ability to make an STR check?
(23:09:30) Laharl01: ((Neither Trunac nor Aiolos has Open Lock, though Felix might.))
(23:09:58) judson256: nope
(23:10:14) ForSovietRussia: and nobody has the ability to make an str check?
(23:10:25) Laharl01: Trunac goes for the brute force. ((15))
(23:11:15) Drew: "Let me help you, comrade." ((aid another 14))
(23:11:24) ForSovietRussia: trunac successfuly shatters the lock with Balthazars help
(23:11:32) ForSovietRussia: you now have an unlocked chest
(23:11:38) Laharl01: Aiolos combs it for traps before anyone opens it.
(23:11:52) Laharl01: ((...4...))
(23:11:55) ForSovietRussia: you find no traps at all
(23:12:06) Laharl01: ((certainly not...))
(23:13:44) Laharl01: Trunac grabs the chest out of Aiolos's hands and opens it.
(23:14:47) ForSovietRussia: all sorts of terrible things fly out of the box, and then a black beam shoots out of the box towards the ceiling of the cave, burrowing its way through the rock as if it was eating away at it. (Gimme a REF, FORT, and a WILL save)
(23:15:00) ForSovietRussia: (everyone else just give me will saves)
(23:15:34) ForSovietRussia: The terrible things appear to be ghostly apparitions of terrible demons, devils, undead, and other monstrosities.
(23:15:46) judson256: (Felix: 15; Seamus: 13)
(23:15:53) Laharl01: ((Trunac: F16, R21, W9. Aiolos: W21))
(23:16:30) Drew: ((Balthazar 18; Captain 24))
(23:20:50) ForSovietRussia: Trunac, make a second will save
(23:20:58) ForSovietRussia: same goes for Felix and Seamus
(23:21:01) ForSovietRussia: and Balthazar
(23:21:11) Laharl01: ((Trunac: 23))
(23:21:24) judson256: (Seamus: 11; Felix: 10)
(23:22:19) Drew: ((Balthazar: 27))
(23:23:06) ForSovietRussia: Okay, Trunac manages to get his face out of the beam before it goes to full force.
(23:23:40) ForSovietRussia: He takes 17 points of damage as parts of his face are disintegrated off
(23:26:06) ForSovietRussia: The whole party hears a disturbing moan/scream in their minds. (i need one more save for Seamus and Felix)
(23:26:10) ForSovietRussia: (will)
(23:26:25) judson256: (Seamus: natural 1; Felix: 12)
(23:27:21) judson256: (Felix surges with heroic effort to throw off the demonic stream [New Roll: 18])
(23:28:26) ForSovietRussia: Aiolos, Nemo, and Manta manage to block out the moan/scream through mental willpower.
(23:28:57) ForSovietRussia: The noise echoes through Felix, Seamus, Trunac, and Balthazar's heads however, driving them temporarily insane
(23:29:56) ForSovietRussia: Correction: Seamus falls unconcious
(23:31:03) ForSovietRussia: Felix walks over to the dragonne corpose and proceeds to beat on it further, shouting something about "killing the dragon son of a bitch"
(23:31:52) ForSovietRussia: Trunac sits down and proceeds to babble like a madman
(23:32:21) ForSovietRussia: Balthazar appears to act normal, but he starts twitching oddly
(23:32:46) ForSovietRussia: The beam continues to bore its way through the rock roof until it is all the way through and it shoots off into space.
(23:34:22) ForSovietRussia: The beam cuts off as Trunac and Balthazar return to their normal states, but Felix continues to beat the corpse.
(23:35:15) Drew: "Lad, its dead." Balthazar says, walking over to Felix.
(23:35:27) ForSovietRussia: <im not done drew>
(23:35:27) Laharl01: Trunac keeps bashing.
(23:36:19) ForSovietRussia: Felix seems oblivious to the world and continues to desecrate the corpse
(23:37:00) Drew: "Lad. You're only getting yourself for bloody. Cut it out." he says, taking Felix by the arm.
(23:37:12) ForSovietRussia: <MONOLOGUE STARTING>
(23:39:34) ForSovietRussia: The image forming around the chest is that of a group of humanoids.
(23:40:05) ForSovietRussia: One is a human female who appears to be a mage from her manner of dress.
(23:40:12) ForSovietRussia: The second is a male orc who appears to be a druid.
(23:40:18) ForSovietRussia: The third is a dwarf of unknown gender that appears to be a forge master/mistress.
(23:40:20) ForSovietRussia: The fourth image is that of an elven warrior of ambiguous gender, most likely from Arenal due to the skull motifs on he/she/its garb.
(23:43:12) ForSovietRussia: The human female image speaks, her eyes shining like the radiance of a thousand suns, however, you cannot understand a word she is saying. One phrase is repeated though, "Atropus Gragish."
(23:43:18) ForSovietRussia: <END MONOLOGUE>
(23:43:35) Laharl01: ((know[history]?))
(23:43:43) ForSovietRussia: (you can try xD)
(23:44:12) ForSovietRussia: (if anyone has knowledge [religion] feel free to give me a check too)
(23:44:36) Drew: ((Blathazar: 24))
(23:44:36) Laharl01: ((15 history...and we /do/ have a cleric...))
(23:47:34) Zanaikin entered the room.
(23:47:40) ForSovietRussia: Balthazar recalls coming across the name "Atropus" in an old sacred text of Kol Korran he read, but he cannot remember anything else about it.
(23:48:21) Drew: "The name is familiar. But I can't place it."
(23:50:21) ForSovietRussia: The rest of the figures all speak as well, and then the image fades. The box turns over and a small text falls out of it. The box then closes and a glyph on the top begins to glow white.
(23:52:08) ForSovietRussia: Nemo cautiously examines the box and the book. "The book appears to be mundane, but the box seems to have some image projection magic upon it now."
(23:52:27) Laharl01: "Can anyone read the book?"
(23:52:32) Drew: "How 'bout we let it be?"
(23:52:53) Laharl01: "It's mundane, he says, so it shouldn't be a problem."
(23:54:18) Laharl01: Aiolos leafs through it to see if he recognizes anything. (Elvish, Infernal, Dwarven)
(23:56:04) ForSovietRussia: The book appears to be written in a language that you have never seen or heard of before. Also, the glyphs that make up the language constantly shift and warp, and sometimes change color or appear to sink into the page.
(23:56:25) Laharl01: "This is some ridiculous writing...I can't make anything out of it."
(23:58:29) ForSovietRussia: (Aiolos, make a will save)
(23:58:47) Laharl01: ((16))
(23:58:54) ForSovietRussia: (and i need a fort save for Trunac)
(23:59:03) Laharl01: ((nat 20))
(23:59:08) ForSovietRussia: Aiolos feels a sudden compulsion to slam the book shut and does.
(23:59:14) ForSovietRussia: (i need the total save for trunac)
(23:59:21) Laharl01: ((31))
(23:59:24) ForSovietRussia: (ok)
(3/22/2008 00:08:51) Laharl01: "Anybody else want to take a look, or should we just grab it and wake Seamus up."
(00:08:55) Laharl01: ?
(00:10:22) Drew: "Wake him, and lets be moving along I say."
(00:10:35) Drew: "On that note, does anyone else need healing?"
(00:10:53) ForSovietRussia: (nemo is at 38/42)
(00:11:07) Laharl01: Aiolos goes and smacks Seamus's shoulder. "Wake up, ya lazy bum."
(00:11:33) ForSovietRussia: There is no change to seamus's status
(00:13:00) ForSovietRussia: Seamus is still breathing but appears to be unresponsive
(00:13:56) Laharl01: "Oy, Balthazar, looks like he needs something a little stronger...got some booze? Its proximity might wake him..."
(00:15:24) Drew: "Hmm." Balthazar says, kneeling down next to Seamus.
(00:15:46) Drew: "It looks like he's been knocked out."
(00:17:17) Drew: Balthazar casts Lesser Restoration on Seamus.
(00:17:54) ForSovietRussia: There appears to be no initial effects
(00:18:36) Drew: "AWAKEN!"
(00:18:55) Laharl01: "Wake up, ya damn potato farmer!"
(00:19:00) ForSovietRussia: Seamus starts snoring loudly.
(00:19:42) Drew: Balthazar slaps him with a gauntleted fist.
(00:20:13) Drew: ((1 point of nonelethal))
(00:20:19) ForSovietRussia: Seamus continues snoring
(00:20:32) ForSovietRussia: Also, trunac is still beating on the corpse
(00:20:46) ForSovietRussia: whoops
(00:21:04) ForSovietRussia: FELIX is continuing to desecrate and do foul, unspeakable things (just kidding) to the corpse
(00:21:49) Drew: "Gods, will someone get him off the blasted dragonne! I can't concentrate with all of those scales being ruffed about!"
(00:22:39) Laharl01: Trunac goes over and smacks Felix in the head to bring him to his senses.
(00:22:53) ForSovietRussia: Felix looks away from the corpse
(00:22:57) Drew: "God's blast ye, ye tap dancing fool" Balthazar says, before granting him another restore.
(00:23:11) ForSovietRussia: and stares at Trunac with a wild look in his eyes
(00:23:26) ForSovietRussia: He swings his sword at trunac
(00:24:04) ForSovietRussia: And misses horrendously
(00:24:16) ForSovietRussia: (free sense motive checks)
(00:24:39) Drew: ((Balthazar 30))
(00:24:48) Laharl01: ((Trunac 18, Aiolos 16))
(00:24:57) Drew: (Captain: rolled a 1))
(00:25:00) ForSovietRussia: Balthazars restoration has no effect on Seamus, who appears to be sleeping quite well.
(00:25:28) ForSovietRussia: Everyone that beat a 5 realizes that this isnt the felix they are used to and he is probably still under the effect of that insanity effect
(00:26:53) Drew: "Blasted trap!" Balthazar calls out, summoning the power of Kol Korran to dispel the insanity ((31 dispel check))
(00:28:31) ForSovietRussia: Felix snaps back to reality. (oh there goes gravity, oh there goes rabbit yadda yadda yadda i dont know the rest of the song)
(00:29:42) Laharl01: "What do you think we should do about Seamus?"
(00:30:02) ForSovietRussia: as if in response, Seamus snores loudly again
(00:30:16) ForSovietRussia: and he mumbles something about a "Jack Daniels" in his sleep
(00:31:19) ForSovietRussia: *"Jameson"
(00:31:48) Drew: "Hmm, lets see if the power of Kol Korran can help him as well." (34 ap boosted dispel)
(00:31:57) Laharl01: ((win!))
(00:31:59) ForSovietRussia: Nothing happens and he continues to sleep.
(00:32:26) ForSovietRussia: His eyes appear to be moving rapidly beneath his eyelids, as if he is in a deep dream state.
(00:34:50) Laharl01: "Boy, that worked well."
(00:40:07) Drew: "Let's move on. We'll just have to carry him with us."
(00:40:27) Laharl01: "Might as well."
(00:42:09) ForSovietRussia: The party reassembles on the boat and sails onwards, deeper into the cavern. Eventually you round a bend and see moonlight shining in from an opening.
(00:42:47) ForSovietRussia: As you sail out, you find yourselves in an inland cove, with a sandy beach that has a life sized statue of a woman on it.
(00:46:14) ForSovietRussia: As you sail towards the beach, you feel an aura of calm wash over you when you get within 100 feet of the statue.
(00:48:58) ForSovietRussia: Nemo suggests that this is probably a good place to set up camp. He has determined that the statue has magic that radiates an aura of Calm Emotions and keep hostile animals away.
(00:49:19) Laharl01: "Ok, let's set up and maybe Seamus will have awoken by morning."
(00:49:35) Drew: "Sounds good."

(10:52:19 PM) ForSovietRussia: A monolith of black volcanic stone reaches skyward from the sea, its base shrouded in whitecapped waves. In one spot, the rock curves inward like a mouth drinking deep from the sea.
(10:52:33 PM) ForSovietRussia: Waves surge within this black bay, but beyond them the bleached white of bone catches the light. Ribs of enormous size reach up like talons from the shallows below the black monolith.
(10:52:41 PM) ForSovietRussia: The spine of some tremendous creature lies embedded in the rock face. Its skull sits atop the rock, water coursing from hollow eye sockets as the sea pulses in and out.
(10:52:46 PM) ForSovietRussia: The skeletons of two enormous draongs are scattered within the recess in the rock. As if gathered to pay homage to the fallen dragons, the bones of dozens of whales lie broken around the black maw of stone.

(10:02:14 PM) Marty: You have looted their corpses and (presumably) disposed of the corpses
(10:02:14 PM) Scott T: Felix fetches a mop and pail
(10:02:34 PM) Scott T: and starts cleaning up the gore
(10:05:51 PM) Marty: So
(10:06:00 PM) Marty: Theres the party, chilling
(10:06:46 PM) Dave: Aiolos whistles cheerfully. "Guess I know what I'm doing over the next few days, guys: IDing loot."
(10:07:04 PM) Marty: Captain Manta feels the map fade slightly in is mind
(10:07:18 PM) Scott T: Yeah. While we're doing that, let's go grab that paper before the Cap'n forgets it all
(10:07:39 PM) Shealy: I'll go grab some paper.
(10:07:54 PM) Eric: "Aye, Let's be off."
(10:08:44 PM) Eric: Manta goes and purchases some paper, a scroll case, and some ink and a pen
(10:10:00 PM) Marty: Manta finds a store that will sell him what he needs for 10GP
(10:12:00 PM) Judson: "Aiolos, could you take a look around a bit between IDing items? I'd like to find a decent place to perform in this city."
(10:12:10 PM) Dave: "Sure, no problem."
(10:12:28 PM) Dave: (GI 22)
(10:12:47 PM) Eric: Manta returns to his quarters and scribes the map onto the paper, and stores it in the scrollcase he bought
(10:14:37 PM) Marty left the room.
(10:29:16 PM) Marty entered the room.
(10:29:32 PM) Marty: not yet guys
(10:39:27 PM) Marty left the room.
(10:39:46 PM) Marty entered the room.
(10:39:50 PM) Marty: test
(10:41:20 PM) Marty: Captain Manta is off drawing the map
(10:41:46 PM) Scott T: Fleix is getting his face fixed
(10:42:15 PM) Marty: Aiolos determines that the best place for a performer to practice his trade is at the Rusty Anchor (yes, thats where you were last night)
(10:43:15 PM) Dave: "Seamus, go back to the Anchor. You'll get some good cash there."
(10:43:26 PM) Judson: "roight"
(10:43:43 PM) Judson: Seamus heads over to the Rusty Anchor, looking for the proprietor
(10:44:42 PM) Marty: The proprietor is found working behind the bar, cleaning some glasses.
(10:45:21 PM) Judson: " 'allo mate. You got a pretty good crowd going here tonight"
(10:46:19 PM) Marty: "You must be new here, because there's always a crowd here at the Anchor," he says. "What can I do yo fer?"
(10:47:06 PM) Judson: "I was wondering if I might be able to put on something of a performance here tonight"
(10:48:52 PM) Marty: "What kind of performance are we talking here?"
(10:50:11 PM) Judson: "A dance show, you might say. If you could round up a couple musicians for accompaniment, it could be truly epic."
(10:50:54 PM) Marty: "The house band will be playing tonight, and they are already in the back warming up. If you can get them along with it, you have my permission"
(10:51:29 PM) Judson: "Thanks," says Seamus, heading off to the back room
(10:52:45 PM) Marty left the room.
(10:53:42 PM) Marty entered the room.
(10:56:28 PM) Marty: Seamus enters the back room and sees the house band that was playing the previous night warming up.
(10:56:47 PM) Judson: "Allo mates, hows it going?"
(10:56:57 PM) Judson: "I was wondering if you could use another performer tonight."
(10:57:11 PM) Marty: "That depends, whats your instrument?"
(10:57:31 PM) Judson: "Instrument? Don't need one. I'm a dancer."
(10:58:32 PM) Marty: They stifle back a laugh and the leader responds, "A dancer?"
(10:58:51 PM) Judson: "Aye. Something amusing about that?"
(10:59:23 PM) Marty: "Lets see your 'dancing' then"
(11:00:32 PM) Judson: Seamus breaks it down
(11:00:38 PM) Judson: (Perform check = 32)
(11:00:52 PM) Judson: Seamus has Feet of FIre
(11:01:21 PM) Marty: The drum player turns to the lead and says "We just got served"
(11:01:39 PM) Marty: The leader says "Okay, you'll do. What kind of music do you want?"
(11:02:33 PM) Judson: "I'm thinking a Disco Inferno would be be spot on"
(11:03:03 PM) Marty: "You got it then"
(11:03:18 PM) Judson: "Excellent"
(11:04:30 PM) Shealy: Trunac heads in the direction of the booze.
(11:04:44 PM) Dave: Aiolos goes to spread the word of Seamus's performance, then returns to the Anchor to get good and drunk.
(11:05:30 PM) Scott T: Felix heads for the anchor as well, having little if anything better to do.
(11:05:38 PM) Eric: After scribing his map, Manta walks to the ship that we will be taking, and checks to make sure that everything will be ready in the morning. "*sigh* I guess we'll have to wait for the morrow."
(11:05:54 PM) Eric: he then starts checking the forcasts for the morning
(11:06:42 PM) Marty left the room.
(11:11:38 PM) Marty entered the room.
(11:12:07 PM) Marty: ((it aint letting me into bwaggles. invite plz))
(11:12:07 PM) Marty left the room.
(11:12:36 PM) Marty entered the room.
(11:13:29 PM) Marty: The Anchor begins to liven up as the night goes on, faces familiar from last night begin to reappear. The knife throwing and armwrestling competitions start up again.
(11:15:09 PM) Judson left the room.
(11:15:31 PM) Eric: 32 Know Geography check to predict sailing conditions for tomorrow
(11:15:43 PM) Eric: and learn optimal time to put outta port
(11:18:04 PM) Marty: The band comes out of the back room and sets up on the stage.
(11:19:23 PM) Dave: Seamus struts out as the band starts playing, his suit a beacon of light in the dim tavern. His limbs fly as he enters into the dance, all else dissipating. (perform = 25)
(11:19:26 PM) Marty: Captain Manta has learned that the weather tomorrow will be dark early, followed by increasing and steady bright during the day, leading to increasing dark towards the end of the day.
(11:19:59 PM) Marty: The optimal time to put to port is any, the weather will be good all day.
(11:24:47 PM) Eric: After learning what he could from the weather, Manta checks the ship one final time, then returns to discuss loots with his mates.
(11:25:32 PM) Marty: Meanwhile, the Anchor slowly devolves into a Disco Dance Fest as people become inspired by Seamus
(11:26:06 PM) Dave: Seamus just keeps adding to the DISCO INFERNO!
(11:27:18 PM) Marty: People are dancing and the club now looks like some scene from Saturday Knight Fever
(11:28:16 PM) Marty: <FAST>
(11:28:28 PM) Marty: The night continues and everyone dances their pants off (not literally I hope)
(11:28:54 PM) Marty: Everyone goes to sleep. Everyone wakes up in the morning and assembles at the ship.
(11:30:00 PM) Eric: "Alright men, we have some good weather for sailing today, so I want us to be running high Knots all day."
(11:30:05 PM) Marty: Captain Manta stands at the ship, waiting for everyone else. "So, are we ready?"
(11:30:18 PM) Scott T: "As we'll ever be."
(11:30:29 PM) Shealy: "I reckon."
(11:30:34 PM) Dave: "Aye, cap'n!"
(11:31:36 PM) Marty left the room.
(11:41:12 PM) Eric left the room.
(11:52:23 PM) Scott T left the room.

(10:31:35 PM) Dave: Aiolos heads to a local inn and spends the night.
(10:35:54 PM) Marty: The party proceeds (verily) to a local inn and spends the night.
(10:36:07 PM) Judson: Seamus puts on a performance for the inn patrons before going to bed
(10:37:42 PM) Marty: By inn patrons Seamus means the almost empty common area of the inn. Most of the patrons had still not returned from their boozing.

(10:51:56 PM) Scott T: Felix is already down there with his breakfast. "Morning, Aiolos. Don't try this fish, it's terrible."
(10:55:46 PM) Shealy: Trunac sleeps in, dreaming of gods only know what.
(10:56:05 PM) Eric: Captain Manta awakens and takes his food in his room, reviewing the local sea maps a final time
(10:57:59 PM) Marty: The housecleaning crew barges into Seamus's room.
(10:59:10 PM) Dave: "Thanks for the tip, Felix, but it's a little late. This 'fish' is truly foul. The bacon is good, though."
(10:59:11 PM) Judson: Seamus staggers downstairs, shouting hoarsely for whiskey
(10:59:36 PM) Scott T: "Thanks, I think I may try... oh, g'morning Seamus."
(11:00:06 PM) Marty: The barkeep pours him a shot and slides it down the bar to him.
(11:00:28 PM) Dave: "Well...if it isn't our resident fractional gender, Seamus." He gives the Irishman a funny look. "Isn't it a little early for that, even for you."
(11:00:48 PM) Judson: *gulps the shot*
(11:01:15 PM) Scott T: "It's never too early for Seamus and booze. I swear he lives on the stuff."
(11:01:41 PM) Dave: "He's got blood in his alcohol content, I swear, the way he guzzles booze."
(11:02:04 PM) Scott T: "Aye. Makes him dance like nothing I've ever seen though..."
(11:03:52 PM) Shealy: Trunac takes a swig of his homebrew, as discretely as he can manage at this early hour.
(11:08:33 PM) Scott T: With some difficulty, Felix finishes what passes for food at this dump. "Right. Everybody else done?"
(11:09:20 PM) Dave: Aiolos wipes his mouth weakly. "Yup, I'm done."
(11:09:41 PM) Eric: Manta comes down and anounces "I'm ready to go, you men all set? If so, we move out now."
(11:10:10 PM) Marty: Felix feels his stomach begin to turn. (Gimme a fort save)
(11:10:32 PM) Marty: Seamus also feels drunkeness set in. (Gimme a fort save)
(11:10:37 PM) Scott T: (20)
(11:10:50 PM) Marty: Felix manages not to double over and puke.
(11:11:17 PM) Scott T: "Argh.... that stuff was worse than I thought. But it's passed. I think."
(11:11:24 PM) Shealy: "Never woulda had this problem if I'da cooked."
(11:11:27 PM) Judson: (24)
(11:11:43 PM) Marty: Seamus manages to fight off becoming intoxicated.
(11:11:44 PM) Scott T: "Probably. Probably so."
(11:13:42 PM) Marty: Balthasar walks down and joins the group, yea verily.
(11:14:30 PM) Shealy: Trunac: "Gods, ya slept later'n I did!"
(11:14:43 PM) Shealy: Balthazar: *grumbles*
(11:15:08 PM) Scott T: "Hangovers are a pain aren't they?"
(11:15:27 PM) Shealy: Balthazar: "No comment."
(11:15:39 PM) Scott T: Felix chuckles.
(11:17:11 PM) Eric: "Alright guys, time to move out. I want to go out with the tide. Lets move."
(11:17:31 PM) Dave: "Sounds good."
(11:17:49 PM) Shealy: Both: "Aye."

(11:20:45 PM) Eric entered the room.
(11:22:08 PM) AllLucky777s entered the room.
(11:22:41 PM) Marty: The party proceeds verily to the Crownpoint Pier, the location of the Dragoneye.
(11:23:57 PM) Marty: Dark mahogony planks line the pier, and everbright lanterns in the shape of serpentine dragons hang from posts spaced every 30 feet along the walkway. Moored at the far end is Dragoneye, its sailed tight around each its five masts.
(11:24:08 PM) Marty: Workers move about the docks loading fresh supplies for Dragoneye's upcoming patrol of the principalities. Several of the flagship's gangplanks extend dockside, trodden by sweat-soaked, bare-chested human and dwarf laborers.
(11:24:13 PM) Marty: They work under the watchful eye of a tall human with close-cropped black hair, dressed in full Seadragon regalia with several stripes cresting his upper arm. Other Seadragons assist with the unloading of supplies on deck.
(11:24:22 PM) AllLucky777s left the room.
(11:25:57 PM) Marty: The human turns to you guys as you approach.
(11:26:26 PM) Scott T: "Hail! We were told to speak to Syn. Are you he?"
(11:27:46 PM) Marty: "I am not Syn, wait here." He shouts an order to a crewmember who runs off and returns with a pale humanoid.
(11:28:17 PM) Shealy: Trunac: "Ah, we were given this letter.."
(11:28:51 PM) Shealy: "Here it is." Truncac shows the letter to Syn.
(11:30:09 PM) Marty: Syn takes the letter and reads over it. He then turns to the the tall human and says "They have Ryger's permission, have some crewmembers escort them to the War Room"
(11:31:36 PM) Eric: "Good, streight to busness. Just my kinda sailor. Thank you for welcoming us aboard." Manta says, with obvious pleasure.
(11:32:07 PM) Scott T: *whispers* "Don't mind the pompous buffoon, he's like that with everyone."
(11:32:27 PM) Shealy: Trunac chuckles.
(11:32:52 PM) Marty: The Sergeant shouts an order and six crewmembers come up and escort you to the war room.
(11:33:08 PM) Marty: At the center of this chamber stands a large display table with a topographical map of the Lhazaar Principalities and the surrounding ocean.
(11:33:09 PM) Marty: The waters of the Lhazaar Sea shift and ripple as if real, and storm systems can be seen floating above the tabletop. Miniature ships of startling detail are positioned across the water.
(11:33:16 PM) Marty: On every wall of the room are mounted meticulously detailed nautical charts, showing coastlines and reef systems in varying scales.
(11:33:43 PM) Scott T: Felix whistles. "Now that is impressive."
(11:33:57 PM) Eric: "Ah... such fine maps and tools you have. It is truely an honor to sail with you gentlemen."
(11:34:08 PM) Dave: "I would expect nothing less out of a prince's flagship."
(11:34:55 PM) Shealy: Trunac looks around, and takes a sip from his flask. "Damn."
(11:35:09 PM) Scott T: "Empty?"
(11:35:57 PM) Shealy: "Eh? I was referring to the room."
(11:36:31 PM) Dave: Aiolos goes and looks at the maps on the walls, seeing if any contain the landmarks in question.
(11:37:25 PM) Marty: Aiolos finds a map of Trebaz Sinara, but it does not include the landmarks described in the journal.
(11:38:04 PM) Scott T: "Here, lemme try." (Search check: 19)
(11:38:11 PM) Dave: "Guys, none of these maps have what we're looking for. I think a more...thorough perusal of the room is required."
(11:38:33 PM) Marty: Aiolos finds no more map similar to what they needed
(11:39:08 PM) Dave: (Search 24)
(11:39:11 PM) Marty: *Felix finds no more map similar to what they needed
(11:39:13 PM) Marty: Aiolos finds no more map similar to what they needed
(11:39:49 PM) Marty: The seadragons notice your searching and say "Prince Ryger does have some more maps in his Quarters"
(11:39:50 PM) Dave: Aiolos combs every inch of the room as tightly as he can. ((Taking 20, that's a 37)).
(11:40:10 PM) Dave: "In a second, we'd love to look at them."
(11:40:11 PM) Marty: Aiolos finds no more maps similar to what they needed
(11:40:27 PM) Dave: "Alright, we'll try his quarters."
(11:40:56 PM) Scott T: "Good idea. "If... that's alright, of course."
(11:41:17 PM) Marty: "As long as you remove nothing"
(11:41:31 PM) Dave: "Anyone have paper to copy the map?"
(11:41:54 PM) Scott T: "If not, we can always have somebody pull a Thraxis. Let's go."
(11:42:53 PM) Dave: "I nominate Seamus." Aiolos walks off towards the quarters.
(11:43:23 PM) Marty: The soldiers escort the party to Prince Ryger's Quarters
(11:45:50 PM) Dave: Aiolos combs the room with the same intensity as the previous room. ((Search 37, taking 20))
(11:46:04 PM) Marty: Hanging on a wall is a tapestry, beneath it is a map of Trebaz Sinara
(11:46:20 PM) Scott T: "Aha! Here we go. Well done, Aiolos."
(11:46:47 PM) Shealy: Trunac: "Odd place for a map, if you ask me."
(11:47:36 PM) Shealy: Trunac turns his flask over, disappointed to find it empty.
(11:47:43 PM) Eric: "Allow me to look at it if you will please."
(11:47:44 PM) Scott T: "Right then. Somebody find ink and a needle. Seamus, come here."
(11:48:07 PM) Dave: Aiolos steps aside to allow Manta access. "Sure thing, Cap'n."
(11:49:08 PM) Eric: "Thank you, now lets see here, where are we..." Manta studies the map, commiting as much of the odd landmarks to memory as he can
(11:52:41 PM) Marty: Captain Manta manages to burn the map into his mind. He will be able to duplicate it if he can get paper in the next few hours.
(11:53:08 PM) Marty: Each party member gets 600 XP
(11:54:35 PM) Scott T: "Got it, Cap'n?"
(11:54:40 PM) Eric: "Alright, I thnk I've got this pretty well memorized. Lets go get some paper, and set sail."
(11:55:08 PM) Scott T: "Right, then. Thank you fine gentlemen very much for the use of your charts."
(11:55:21 PM) Judson left the room.
(11:55:31 PM) Judson entered the room.
(11:56:23 PM) Eric: "Yes thank you very much. We should be able to get where we're going with these."
(11:57:32 PM) Marty: The soldiers escort you out of the room and back onto deck.
(11:58:34 PM) Scott T: "Alright then, let's find the good Captain a paper shop."
(11:58:45 PM) Dave: "A fine idea."
(11:58:48 PM) Eric: "Alright men, let me go get some paper before we head out. You guys wanna go make sure the ship's ready to sail in a half an hour?
(11:58:49 PM) Eric: "
(01/26/2008 12:00:50 AM) Dave: Aiolos goes over to the ship while the Cap'n goes shopping.
(12:00:52 AM) Marty: PAUSE!
(12:00:57 AM) Marty: AIOLOS NEVER MAKES IT OFF
(12:02:44 AM) Marty: A thick fog is rolling in off the harbor as you make your way toward the Swiftwind (thats your ship). The sound of the busy dock ward are muffled, and you strain to see more than 5' in front of you.
(12:02:44 AM) Marty: Suddenly three cloaked figures emerge from the fog, tossing back their hoods tor reveal their cleaning shaven heads.
(12:02:50 AM) Marty: ROLL INITIATIVE!

(12:28:09 AM) Scott T: : (attack roll 26)
(12:28:55 AM) Scott T: (confirm roll 27)
(12:30:31 AM) Marty: Felix's sword schwings across the Fanatic's neck, severing it cleanly like so many Persians had their heads severed in the movie 300.
(12:31:02 AM) Marty: A voice cries out from the heavens, "FATALITY!"
(12:31:12 AM) Scott T: Felix poses
(12:31:57 AM) Dave: "You can pose when the rest of them are dead, if you want to has your cheezburger later."
(12:32:17 AM) Scott T: "Tell it to Soulja Boy there."
(12:32:50 AM) Marty: The enemy that looks like a monk charges at Felix, swinging his wicked looking chain-and-dagger.
(12:34:35 AM) Marty: The Divinty Seekers' chain and dagger slashes across Felix's arms. (7 Slashing damage)
(12:37:06 AM) Eric: 27 (20 confirm) Eldritch Blast on the far enemy.

(12:38:51 AM) Eric: 23 damage.
(12:39:49 AM) Dave: Seamus starts busting a move to a funky beat only he can hear. [Inspire Courage]
(12:47:49 AM) Shealy: I charge one of them and unleash a crazy axe flurry.
(12:48:09 AM) Marty: The exarch starts bleeding, he doesnt look too good.
(12:49:04 AM) Dave: Aiolos moves over to the Exarch, tumbling and bouncing around, before spotting an opportunity to attack, which he takes with his usual fervor.
(12:49:47 AM) Dave: ((32 attack roll))
(12:49:59 AM) Marty: ((hit))
(12:50:30 AM) Dave: ((30 damage))
(12:50:51 AM) Marty: And the exarch falls over and starts bleeding profusely.
(12:56:19 AM) Shealy: Balthasar charges the monk with his +1 shocking heavy mace.
(12:57:24 AM) Scott T: Felix tumbles to a position in which he's flanking the monk. (tumble 32)

(01:03:12 AM) Marty: The divinity seeker attacks Felix again with his chain and dagger, shouting "Give us the Dragon's Eye!"
(01:05:07 AM) Marty: The seeker's dagger slashes upwards from Felix's chin all the way to his forehead. (4 damage, 1 CON damage, 1 CHA damage. -2 to spot, search, and ranged attacks until healed.)
(01:08:43 AM) Eric: Captain Manta starts moving in closer, looking around for other enemies. "Hang in there Felix! We'll finish them!"
(01:12:24 AM) Dave: Seamus shifts his dance slightly, ignoring what those idiots at work say, going into more of a Riverdance routine.
(01:16:21 AM) Shealy: Trunac coup de graces the exarch.
(01:17:13 AM) Marty: Trunacs axe slices over the exarchs shoulder and severs his arm like in some monty python movie. Blood flows out from the wound like in some anime, and the exarch quits bleeding.
(01:17:29 AM) Marty: *Breathing
(01:18:29 AM) Dave: Aiolos runs over to the last remaining footpad and stabs viciously with his shortsword. (23)

(01:19:19 AM) Marty: The divinity seeker falls over dead from Aiolos's stab.
