Gargul's voice fades and the shadows recede as Beri places the crushed berry in bosk's mouth and all returns to peaceful oblivion as Bosk rests, stable yet unconscious.

Yondrim (Jon) 65/65 HP AC 20/14/16 CMD 19 DR 1/- 2d8+6=14 ; Saturday January 7th, 2012 1:16:35 PM
Yondrim approaches the group warily with his empty hands held out to his side to show that he was unarmed, or at least not holding any weapons. He was a large centaur, tall and broad of shoulder to look like a well-built human placed on top a black warhorse. A worn breastplate covers his upper body and there's a spot of dried blood on his head from a blow sometime in the recent past. His gait is broken by a small limp on one of his rear legs, but it does not seem to slow him down any and indeed, he moves quick even in the confines of the sewer. He stops a few paces away from the group and speaks, "You have wounded and I can help. I mean no harm if you do not."
Unless challenged further he'll move forward and lean down to place a hand on Bosk's chest and after a moment of concentration his hand glows a soft, pale yellow and some of the priests wounds knit themselves together. "Rise, horned one.. you look to be a priest and your companions have need of you."

In the distance Bosk hears a whisper, "Rise, horned one.. you look to be a priest and your companions have need of you." Suddenly the sound of water and talk surrounds him and a moment later he opens his eyes to the sight of carnage covering everything. Suddenly the memory of the exploding children comes rushing back to him and all at once the pain of his wounds sweeps over him. There isn't a spot on his body that doesn't ache, but he was alive. Brought back once again from the edge of death. If he wasn't careful, one of these day's he wouldn't be so lucky.
Thank you Sir. I'm not sure who you are, but I am indebted to you. Carefully the cleric rises and tests out all his limbs, making sure nothing is broken. My name is Bosk DeOx, son of Cenoios and Adatia of Taur Island, and one of the Iron Adventurer's of Hook City. Sorry, I seem to have missed introductions and anything else that happened after our quarry unexpectedly exploded.
Bosk graciously accepts Beri's wand and listens to the introduction of the centaur and the conclusion of events after he was knocked unconscious. As they speak he quickly performs triage, starting with those worst off. ......Where's Kyan? Following the group's gaze, the cleric is able to put the events together without being told. Silently he goes about healing the group. Once the Wand is out he switches to using his spells, starting with healing himself and then healing the rest of the group.
Let me know if I missed anyone and I will heal you too. Cast CLW on Zeoll 5,9,8,8, 3 Healed for 32 Cast CLW from spell = 11 for + 44 HP Cast CLW on Restlin 6+5+3+3+6+8+4+3 for 38 HP, cast CLW from Spell for 14 Healed for 52 HP Cast CSW on Bosk 21, 17, 12 = 50HP Cast CMW on Alexi 18, 12, 14 = 54HP almost forgot Alexi, thought you evaded all damage.
DM Info: All of my remaining spells for the day except my cantrips, Bless(cl1) and Restoration, Lesser(cl2) have been converted to healing spells.
Zane Stormfront AC 21 CMD 22 HP 48/50 Saturday January 7th, 2012 5:47:20 PM
As most of his new friends regain their feet, or some semblance of it, Zane plays the last few moments of the fight over in his mind.... "There was nothing that I can see that if we did differently, except give up the chase entirely, that would have changed this end result. As for Kyan's body, I was busy pulling those who could be saved to the edge of the room, and by the time I noticed it vanishing over the edge of the drain, it was way to late and try to save it. There was no warning before the explosions, just that when one went, the rest followed suit. Some kind of fail safe maybe." Zane will refresh his light cantrip, and assist in helping in what ever ways he can.

Filthy conditions -- DM Jim Saturday January 7th, 2012 6:08:21 PM
Rising from his near-death experience and seeing the sight of Yondrim, a curious bit of trivia pops up in Zeoll's mind--had he indeed heard rumors that some unknown exotic culinary types were seeking centaur meat as a delicacy to supply to their clients?
Everyone that took damage in the explosion, please make a Fort DC12 save
Restlin (Carl) -- AC: 14/12/12 CMD: 15 HP:43/43 (Spells) - Wand charges: 41 d20+4=10 ; Saturday January 7th, 2012 6:44:01 PM
Something is poking at Restlin, but he's far too gone to care. Slowly, he realizes he's starting to hurt less. By the time he can be bothered to move, his once grievous wounds have been healed. Still sore, he props himself on up his cane and raises to his feet.
That's when he realizes that's not just water dripping off him.
"No," he starts. "No no no no no. This will just not do. THIS WILL NOT DO AT ALL." If it's possible to produce a handkerchief angrily, Restlin nails it. He reaches into his sleeve and whips the cloth out without flourish. As he wipes his face, the filth magically seems to fall off him. Its charge spent, the wizard drops the cloth and lets the current take it away.
He casts prestidigitation, a familiar site by now, no doubt, and gets to work. He recognizes Bosk's handiwork and cleans the sewage and gore off him first before moving on to the others. He pauses as he finishes with Beri.
"Where's Kyan? He could use a good cleaning on the best of days...and why's there a centaur in the sewer all the sudden? No no...this isn't right. Not right at all."
Restlin finishes by producing his bottle of lavender oil & dabbing some directly beneath his nose. He offers some to any who are interested.
***
Fort save 10, but if Restlin is saving vs. disease, I get a +2 for my clean trait, bringing it to 12.
Bosk AC: 20/11/18 CMD:21 HP 54 of 55 Spells d20+8=15 ; Sunday January 8th, 2012 1:30:09 AM
Bosk thanks Restlin for cleaning him up and then says a paryer for Kyan's soul.
Almighty Gargul, be kind to the soul of Kyan, a devoted ranger of the wold who has on many occasions assisted your humble servant. He has been called from the wold in an untimely death while journeying with one of your priests in an attempt help two lost spirits in our plane find their peace that they may cross over to the Land of Rest. We ask that you remember his goods deeds and generous heart while deciding his fate and hope that we will see him again when reunited in the Land of Rest.
Fort Save = 15
Yondrim (Jon) 65/65 HP AC 20/14/16 CMD 19 DR 1/- Sunday January 8th, 2012 9:52:41 AM
Yondrim remains respectively silent while Bosk says a word for their fallen comrade before responding to Restlin's inquiry as to why there is suddenly a centaur in the sewer, though Yondrim answer provides little help, "I'm not sure how a centaur ended up in the sewer myself.. One moment I knew I was walking a street in Mudtown and the next I woke up in the sewer with a headache. I'm not sure why I was dragged down here, but whoever did it must have tired of dragging around near a ton of limp centaur. All the better for me I suppose, but I was wondering down here for near an hour trying to find a way out before I heard," and he waved his hands at the gore splattered walls and people, "whatever did this."
Zane Stormfront AC 21 CMD 22 HP 48/50 Sunday January 8th, 2012 11:08:23 AM "Well, you're in for a bit of a shock..... You're a long ways from Mudtown. I've never been there, but I hear it's fairly strange there. You're in a City, well, under a city on the Southern Continent. Hook City as a matter of fact."
Zeoll (HP35 of 35, AC22, CMD17) d20+6=19 ; Sunday January 8th, 2012 11:19:57 AM
Zeoll thanks Bosk for the curing and Restlin for the clean-up. "I feel almost my old self," he says.
He hangs his head when he hears about Kyan, and nods at Bosk's prayer.
The liontaur rolls a 19 on his save.
He asks, "Do we continue to follow DeRrais, orr rreturrn to the house?"
Suddenly he realizes a centaur has joined the party's ranks. "This group is a taur magnet!" he thinks wryly to himself, wondering if Domi is trying to remind him of his broken vows.
Restlin (Carl) -- AC: 14/12/12 CMD: 15 HP:43/43 (Spells) - Wand charges: 41 d20+11=12 ; Sunday January 8th, 2012 11:29:09 AM
"This," he starts while mimicking Yondrim's wave, "is the remains of our ranger friend, a few bits from the rest of us, and 6 or so very, very naughty children. We came that way." Restlin points towards the wardrobe entrance they used. "However, if you want to avoid getting caught up in our drama, you may want to find another exit.
"Real shame about Kyan. He was the only one besides me who seemed to realize adventuring was supposed to be fun. We'll need to take care of this De Rais person soon, but I doubt we're prepared to do so now. Let's find a way out of this...mess."

Ladder across the way -- DM Jim Sunday January 8th, 2012 4:21:47 PM
Restlin spies the outline of a ladder across the way, leading up about 50' to a manhole with small pinpricks of light coming through. Manageable enough for most, but for a centaur and his hooves--almost impossible.
Zeoll (HP35 of 35, AC22, CMD17) d20+17=29 ; Sunday January 8th, 2012 9:04:11 PM
Zeoll tries his keen senses (and magic lens) to tell if DeRais has gone that way.
Track: 29.
Ladder across the way -- DM Jim Sunday January 8th, 2012 11:58:09 PM
From his current location, Zeoll can't tell much of whats on the other side of the large room in the dark, other than it's a metal ladder heading upwards.
Beriothian (Will)-- AC:22/16/16 HP:57/57 CMD = 22 d20+12=31 ; Monday January 9th, 2012 12:40:27 AM
When he sees Zeoll trying to check for DeRais Beriothian looks around for equipment or clues that the assailants may have dropped, as well as Kyans bow. If DeRais is fleeing they group will likely be taking off very quickly.

Zeoll (HP35 of 35, AC22, CMD17) d20+2=3 ; d20+2=4 ; d20+2=8 ; Monday January 9th, 2012 5:39:58 AM
OOC to DM: Did the "children" have any gear, and did any of it survive the blasts? Zeoll will detect magic. He will also use his new sift cantrip to search under water and places he can't reach.
Sift perception checks: 3, 4, and 8! LOL! Zeoll makes a mental note to finish creating his Int/Perception booster item asap.
Zeoll (HP35 of 35, AC22, CMD17) Monday January 9th, 2012 8:48:18 AM
If he finds no new leads, Zeoll will propose going back the way we came. "I want to sniff the trrail we just followed and trry to figurre out if the ourr firrst quarrry, Kebi Vorrkov of Sarrgrrass Equities, was with DeRrais and the childrren. Eitherr way, going back to check out the house, top to bottom, may be useful."
Also, Zeoll would like to identify that evil branding iron, he says.
By the way, for the sake of the newcomer, Zeoll declares that the group is known as the Iron Adventurers, and that our goal is to do good around the city. Would the centaur like to accompany us? It is always good to meet a fellow taur.
Nothing but blood and guts -- DM Jim Monday January 9th, 2012 12:17:17 PM
Bits and pieces here and there, but nothing survived the acid and it's explosive effects amongst the remains of the children--even Kyan's items have been swept away into the vortex.
Bosk AC: 20/11/18 CMD:21 HP 54 of 55 Spells Monday January 9th, 2012 2:20:01 PM
Bosk looks up to the ladder and realizes that the centaur might have a bit of a problem climbing up that high. Reaching into his belt pouch he pulls out an odd assortment of items, a pill box, vial of liquid with the words "Drink Me" written upon it, and a miniature pirate hat. At one time all of these items would have helped to shrink the centaur and help the group to carry him up, but looking down he realizes that all the items have lost their power (powers expired on Jan 1st). Yondrim, I'm afraid I have very little I can offer you in by means of magical help to reach the ladder. Only a simple Guidance cantrip that can temporarily boost your climbing ability slightly. I do, however, have a 50ft rope with a grappling hook attached. It is large sized, designed for us larger creatures.
Dm Jim: the "drink me" potion had no expiration date :)
Restlin (Carl) -- AC: 14/12/12 CMD: 15 HP:43/43 (Spells) - Wand charges: 41 Monday January 9th, 2012 2:20:36 PM
"Well...since we're obviously not giving chase, let's case his joint (to use the popular vernacular) and get out of this place before someone comes to investigate. You four-legged folks aren't getting up there anytime soon, so we'll likely need to head back anyway."
Restlin will begin heading back, casting detect magic on the way...

Alexi AC 25 Tch 12 Ffted 22 HP 62/66 CMD 22 Monday January 9th, 2012 3:19:59 PM
OOC: DM, you DO realize that anytime you say Almost Impossible your are inviting the PCs to dare try, right? heheh.
IC: Alexi eyes the newcomer centaur carefully and remains poised for any trickery. Although De Rais did't have a centaur with him, these are sewers, and weird things live in the sewers. Weird things that might pass themselves off as centaurs.
Zeoll's Detect Magic didn't reveal anything unusual about the centaur and his healing seems very effective, so Alexi, for now, takes him for his word.
Alexi bows his head in honor of Kyan's soul and after the prayer. He feels bad about the devastation he caused by slicing the punk in half, but it was bound to happen at some point in the fight, might as well have happened in his first swing.
Alexi is not for going back. "We can scour the house anytime. Right now we've got De Rais and that secretary guy to keep chasing. If we definitely lost their trace, then going back is good. Otherwise, let's keep looking until there's just nothing left to look for."
"Zeoll, go over and see what you can sniff up. Try at the top, the fumes of this place are less up there. I'll be right behind you. We can lift that manhole and sniff the street too. We'll go from there depending on what we find."
Zeoll (HP35 of 35, AC22, CMD17) d20+17=31 ; Monday January 9th, 2012 4:31:39 PM
Zeoll will do as Alexi suggests, taking a sniff at the manhole to see if DeRais or Vorkov or both passed that way.
Track 31.
Beltrin (Keith) AC: 18/15/18 HP: -14/56 CMD: 20 Spells Monday January 9th, 2012 8:14:53 PM
Beltrin groans, his subconscious dimly flickering to life and hoping that someone finds him under the muck and gore piled atop of him.
If and when he regains consciousness, he is glad to let Zeoll examine the cursed branding iron. He says a quick prayer to Gargul for Kyan's soul and introduces himself to Yondrim. "I'm Beltrin Starkson, born and raised here in Hook City, although only recently returned from my travels. Like my friends here, I'm a member of the Iron Adventurers."
Bosk AC: 20/11/18 CMD:21 HP 54 of 55 Spells Monday January 9th, 2012 8:25:09 PM
As the cleric begins putting his trinkets back into his pouch he gives the potion a slight shake....Ho, ho, ho...it looks like there is some potion left in this vial. To be honest, I cannot say with 100% certainty what potion is in the vial, but my research has lead me to believe that it contains a potion of Reduce Person. That would make it much easier to help us haul you up and we would be able to continue tracking....do you know about our mission? Our tower is haunted by the ghosts of two young girls who have asked we help them track down their murderer. When we went to the city to research the previous owners of the tower the paper pusher ran and fled to a house in the city. We followed him there and heard him scream. We tried to learn what happened and owner sent a bunch of children with poisoned blades to attack us. He then fled through the house into the sewers where he had the children ambush us. We tried to hold back, but the first strike caused the child to explode, sending acid everywhere and the other children exploded right after him. We aren't sure what his role is, but we cannot in good conscious let a man run free who is blowing children up.
Yondrim (Jon) 65/65 HP AC 20/14/16 CMD 19 DR 1/- Tuesday January 10th, 2012 8:55:12 AM
"Indeed you can not. A man like that must be brought to pay for his crimes." Yondrim says in response to Bosk's description of their mission, "I am Yondrim Blackhoof and will gladly lend my sword to your hunt."
To the potion, Yondrim looks at it skeptically a moment before shrugging. "If we need it I'll use it. Be interesting to see what the world looks like from down there" He raises a hand to about head level for a man for emphasis on 'down there'.
Alexi AC 25 Tch 12 Ffted 22 HP 62/66 CMD 22 d20+5=24 ; Tuesday January 10th, 2012 12:18:35 PM
Before Alexi turns to follow Zeoll, he looks down at Yondrin's hoofs. Are they really black? No matter I guess, not in this muck anyway.
"I'm Alexi, welcome to our group. Sorry to have introductions under these circumstances. On the other hand, good thing we are here, eh?"
Aleix then follows Zeoll and readies to push the manhole up and open a window for some fresh air. He listens to activity on the other side before he opens the lid to make sure no cart or person is right over head and suffer injury stepping into the sudden hole in the ground.
Perception +5: 24
The trail is lost -- DM Jim Tuesday January 10th, 2012 12:43:01 PM
Making their way up to the manhole cover is precarious at best; years of sludge buildup, rust, and other things unidentifiable have taken up residence on the rungs leading up to freedom. Zeoll smells nothing in reference to De Rais, so he definitely did not come this way. When the top is reached, it takes some concerted effort to pop open the manhole cover. Alexi finds himself in a small alleyway--an old lady walking down it is surprised by his sudden appearance and runs off best she can, out of sight.
It takes some time and the use of the potion Bosk has in his possession, to get everyone up and through the manhole. The Taur's are particularily difficult to make it through, although the muck that has remains in their fur helped them somewhat to squeeze through the confining manhole.
Once out, the group finds they're several blocks away from De Rais' abode. Traveling back there, they hear the sounds of many a city guard nearby, and a quick peek around the corner reveals a dozen or so guards near De Rais' home. If the group were to approach, either two things would happen; they would be forced to surrender and submit to the authorities, or a fight would ensue. Choices...
Move on, or try to talk to the guards?
Zane Stormfront AC 21 CMD 22 HP 48/50 Tuesday January 10th, 2012 4:04:25 PM
Zane spots the city guard, after making his way out of the sewer and trekking back to the house they had entered earlier. During the trip, he'd been using prestidigitation to clean the gunk off of himself. He'd also pulled his hood up covering his head and all of his face, except for his snout. "I do believe we would make unwelcome guests at this time. I suggest a return to our tower."

Alexi peers down the alleyway at the grouping of guards. "I agree with Zane, however it would be good to know what they are discussing. What about sending our new comrade, Yondrin down there to casually pass by and listen in? He knows nothing of what has happened and no one can peg him as one of us, yet."
"You up for that, Yondrin?"
Bosk AC: 20/11/18 CMD:21 HP 54 of 55 Spells d20+6=17 ; Tuesday January 10th, 2012 7:43:10 PM
Bosk does his best to listen from around the wall. The other way to look at it is that it might be better if we speak to the guards before De Rais can come up with a story and lie to them. Surly after saving the city they will have an easy time figuring out that we are the ones they are looking for. How many groups can there be with this many taurs in it?
Listen / perception = 17
Beriothian (Will)-- AC:22/16/16 HP:57/57 CMD = 22 Tuesday January 10th, 2012 8:16:09 PM Why not combine Alexi and Bosk's ideas? Clearly nobody should be looking for a centaur. He can hopefully give us a sign as to whether we should approach or disperse and meet up later. In either case, we clearly were in the sewers, and I'm sure that De Rais would be hesitant that we wound up their through a secret passage in his children's torture chamber.

Knowledge, local = 17...I'm going to assume that's high enough to realize the IA are going to jail if we saunter over.
***
"Well, our very well recognized group broke into this person's house. Even if this De Rais guy personally slaughtered dozens of children, we'll still likely end up in jail. Still, that could be our thing, you know? The Iron Adventurers? Oh yea, they're a hoot. They do a great job saving the city when they're not sitting in jail."
Restlin's attempt at humor likely falls flat, but he knows Kyan would have chuckled.
"Anyway, no reason to make the guards' job easy. Yondrin, if you want to be our spy, that would be awesome. You can meet us at our tower later. It's hard to miss, it's the one that will have guards milling around putting us into wagons while I remind my friends here how I thought all this was a bad idea."
"Or...

Even without Kyan here, we're likely to end up sitting in a cell awaiting trial while De Rais figures out who we are and sets up a myriad amount of problems for us. Yondrin, if you're willing to go ask them what they're about, we'd appreciate it, but I say that the rest of us stay far away."
Although Yondrin has given the group no reason to doubt him, Beltrin is still distrustful. How much do we know about this centaur anyways? For all we know, De Rais may have sent him along to spy on us.
Zeoll (HP35 of 35, AC22, CMD17) Wednesday January 11th, 2012 5:52:06 AM
"My intuition tells me we should go home, Identify this poker, Gather some Info, and see what we get."
Zeoll is not eager to spend time in jail. He is thinking that some ranks in Profession (Lawyer) would be useful.
Alexi AC 25 Tch 12 Ffted 22 HP 62/66 CMD 22 Wednesday January 11th, 2012 10:39:09 AM
"Don't forget," Alexi chimes in, "I've not been in their jail and I'm pretty new here too. It's more likely that these guards don't know me from a sewer rat. Yondrin and I can mosey on over, pretending to look for a different home. The two of us won't be as suspicious as one, and my Mailed Fist Regiment shield looks kinda official anyway."
"So, Dear Leader of the Iron Adventurers, give the word and we go," Alexi states, a little impatience hinting in his low keyed voice.
Zane Stormfront AC 21 CMD 22 HP 48/50 Wednesday January 11th, 2012 12:42:45 PM
Zane listens to the others, "I too am new, but I truly prefer to remain on this side of a jail's cell door. I think sending anyone to "spy" on the City Guard, is a bad idea. I hate to make assumptions, but his Maid must have gotten out of the house and summoned them. She may be there and remember those who were near the door when she answered it. I believe I was around the corner out of sight, but she may still have seen me. A Minotaur in a hooded robe is hard to miss, even when he is being nonchalant about standing around."
Zane will again go with the groups decision, but he felt better now that he had made his two chits worth known.

Beltrin stays away from the guards and will proceed home. He isn't in favor of anyone that was involved in the initial confrontation (including Alexi) approaching the guards. Although if Yondrim is game, it would be interesting to see what he could find out.

Yondrim (Jon) 65/65 HP AC 20/14/16 CMD 19 DR 1/- Wednesday January 11th, 2012 4:08:55 PM
Yondrim heads to the tower with the others due to his player not having enough time to post doing anything else.
(house remodeling)
Bosk AC: 20/11/18 CMD:21 HP 54 of 55 Spells Wednesday January 11th, 2012 5:45:47 PM
Seeing the group's mind is made up, Bosk joins the group in returning to the tower.
Alexi AC 25 Tch 12 Ffted 22 HP 62/66 CMD 22 Wednesday January 11th, 2012 6:29:05 PM
Alexi shruggs. "Oh well, like Zeol said. We can snoop around later when things cool off. I'd like a bath now anyway, then some good grub. Hope those girls aren't too disappointed and visit me while in the washtub," he chuckles.
OOC: back to the tower we go...
Beriothian (Will)-- AC:22/16/16 HP:57/57 CMD = 22 Wednesday January 11th, 2012 7:27:19 PM
Beriothian nods in agreement and follows the others back to the tower. Hopefully a long shower will wash away the memory of the sewer's stench.
Back Home -- DM Jim Wednesday January 11th, 2012 9:37:24 PM
The group carefully moves around the area under investigation and once clear of it is pretty positive they are not being followed. Once home, the group cleans up--the evidence of the sewers and the exploding children, washed away with soap, water and magic.
As Zeoll relaxes in his room after a much needed bath, the two little girls slide into view from the corner of his eye, "It's alright ZeeZee, you don't have to chase after the bad man anymore. I told my mother all about him and she, my father and brothers have left the tower in search of him. He's not going to be happy when they find him. As for us, we decided to stay, we like it here with you. TEA TIME!"
Zeoll, please make two Will saves :)
The rest of the group lounges about on their new furniture. Whoever their benefactor was, he had great taste. Not only was the furniture beautiful and masterfully crafted, it was very comfortable and some would find, easy to fall asleep in.
Thus ends the transitional module. I will start the new one tomorrow.
Bosk AC: 20/11/18 CMD:21 HP 54 of 55 Spells Wednesday January 11th, 2012 10:02:49 PM
Will there be time for a catacombs run to sell the flaming swords and buy some gear?
DM Jim: Yes, please take care of that asap.
Zeoll (HP35 of 35, AC22, CMD17) d20+6=12 ; d20+6=7 ; Thursday January 12th, 2012 6:21:06 AM
Will saves: 12 and 7 -- Zeoll puts up little fight!
Bosk AC: 20/11/18 CMD:21 HP 54 of 55 Spells Thursday January 12th, 2012 10:30:26 AM
ooc: Bosk is selling the flaming swords he took off the skeletons in the ring for 74,574gp. I believe only Bosk, Zeoll, Beri, Restlin and Zane were present for the fight. That would be 14,914.8gp each. Email me if you want some of it spent healing wands or other items for the group or to split it differently.
Zeoll (HP35 of 35, AC22, CMD17) Thursday January 12th, 2012 12:05:25 PM
Zeoll would thank you, Bosk, if he weren't serving tea!
Tea Time -- DM Jim Thursday January 12th, 2012 12:23:30 PM
The sound of hysterical laughter comes from Zeoll's room as he's having the time of his life, or at least someone elses life :)
Zane Stormfront AC 21 CMD 22 HP 48/50 Thursday January 12th, 2012 1:28:21 PM
OOC: will we be able to hit the Catacombs once we get the $$. This will be Zane's first trip, as he still owes some $ for paying the Registration Fees.
IC:
Once the group gets back to the Tower, he asks, "Anything you can do to remove this effect on my Agility? If not, then I guess I'll rest up a few days until I'm back to normal."
Zane gets cleaned up and then heads to his room to relax. What he does is maneuver so he is on a pair of posts and then drops into a lotus position and meditates for a period.
Spell Info:
Level----- 0 1 Available- * 4 Cast------ * 1

Zane's Spells in effect: Mage Armor, 3 hours duration
Others spells and effects on Zane: Dexterity drain 3 points
Bosk AC: 20/11/18 CMD:21 HP 54 of 55 Spells d4=3 ; Thursday January 12th, 2012 9:03:10 PM
Bosk casts Restoration, Lesser on Zane and heals him for 3 points of Dexterity. If anyone else needs healing Bosk will prepare more spells in the morning to heal them. If there is time he will spend his free time working on the items he is crafting, going to the catacombs and getting some poison.
Beriothian (Will)-- AC:22/16/16 HP:57/57 CMD = 22 Thursday January 12th, 2012 10:01:08 PM I feel a little sapped still, but I believe I'll have no problem sleeping it tonight. Beriothian heads to his room to recuperate. On his way up something inexplicably puts him in the mood for a hot cup of tea.
Interlude -- DM Jim Thursday January 12th, 2012 10:02:48 PM
I'll post something tomorrow, after Zeoll is done with his Tea Time and you all get your shopping in.
Alexi AC 25 Tch 12 Ffted 22 HP 62/66 CMD 22 Thursday January 12th, 2012 10:09:05 PM
Effects still in effect: Str -2 due to poison
Alexi spends much time in a hot bath and then much time cleaning his armor, unaware of Zeol's Team Time, otherwise, he would have joined in, just for grins.
Word of the Catacomb Shopping Spree ignites an idea in the cavalryman's mind and he joins Bosk. He hopes that he can, from the Catacombs, exit somewhere near where he left his horse, hunt for it for a while, then come back to the Catacombs, then back to Hook City, Lobo in tow.
OOC: DM, I thought this could be a way to reunite Alexi with his famous horse. Up to you.
IC: "Anyone else not doing anything want to help me find my horse?"
Yondrim (Jon) 65/65 HP AC 20/14/16 CMD 19 DR 1/- Friday January 13th, 2012 7:37:10 AM
Yondrim spends his time in the tower mostly on the first floor as he's not a fan of stairs. However, he does cook for the group as well. His meals are not those made by a refined chef, but are all tasty, hearty affairs made by someone with a skilled hand and obvious experience as a cook.
"I do have some skill at enchanting weapon and armor if you have any need of it. I'm sure I can manage it for less than you can get such it at the Catacombs."
Restlin (Carl) -- AC: 14/12/12 CMD: 15 HP:43/43 (Spells) - Wand charges: 41 d20+13=15 ; d3=2 ; d20+13=25 ; d20+13=31 ; d20+13=20 ; Friday January 13th, 2012 8:36:19 AM
OOC: How much time do we have? Restlin would like to craft a wand and some scrolls. I'm going to make all the spellcraft rolls needed below w/ a +5 to the DC for rushing it. The 3 scrolls will take 12 hours rushed, and the wand will take 3 days.
Scroll rolls (DC 5+caster level 5+5 for rushing=15): 15,25,31 Wand roll (Same, but caster level 6=16): 20
All successes! Restlin fails to blow up his room.
Bosk AC: 20/11/18 CMD:21 HP 54 of 55 Spells d20+14=20 ; d20+14=28 ; Friday January 13th, 2012 10:57:34 AM
Bosk's smiles when Yondrim mentions that he can enchant weapons and armor. You truly know how to get on my good side. A room just opened up in our tower on one of the upper levels, but if you prefer the main level I think something could be arranged. We have numerous servant's quarters and no servants. If you ever join our group we could knock down a few walls and make a large room for you on the ground level. I also keep a large anvil and bellows in my room, or bag of holdings when we travel. Let me know if you ever have need of them.
If you ever have the time I would love it if you could add a +2 bonus to my shield and armor and a +1 bonus to by sword. Just let me know how much it will cost. Also, I can craft a large variety of wondrous items, let me know if you ever have need of anything and like you I will craft it cheaper than the catacombs. ooc: If you can enchant these for me I will purchase the materials in the catacombs.
Craft checks to complete Bosk's Bag of Holding and a Slotless version of Ishgaran Belt of Dexterity = 20,28. Both Succeeded.
Bosk AC: 21/12/18 CMD:21 HP 54 of 55 Spells Friday January 13th, 2012 10:59:40 AM
ooc: I don't know if Alexi and Zane know this, but Bosk is usually willing to craft wonderous items at cost for party members if he isn't working on anything and is also willing to prepare spells for party members who need them in their crafting.
Interlude -- DM Jim Friday January 13th, 2012 12:16:24 PM
You have 3 days of crafting. I'll start the module today as we're already behind.
Zeoll (HP35 of 35, AC22, CMD17) Friday January 13th, 2012 12:32:51 PM
Zeoll, assuming he is done with his tea party, asks Bosk what he is working on crafting now. If nothing, Zeoll would love to put his able hands to use. "I've already purchased all the parts and such," he explains. "All I need is time or help to get things done!"
If anyone is interested, Zeoll currently has the following items planned, with ingredients purchased:
Upgrade +1 Headband of Charisma to +2 -- 2 days
Upgrade Slotless +1 Headband of Intelligence to +2 -- 4 days
Create Eyes of the Eagle -- 3 days
Upgrade +1 Cloak of Resistance to +2 -- 4 days
Restlin (Carl) -- AC: 14/12/12 CMD: 15 HP:43/43 (Spells) - Wand charges: 41 Friday January 13th, 2012 12:49:28 PM
*Restlin will use the three days crafting his wand of fireball. He will name it Vera.
DM Jim: You receive a brownie point from a fellow browncoat :)
Zeoll (HP35 of 35, AC22, CMD17) Friday January 13th, 2012 1:35:01 PM
Zeoll will work on upgrading his Chr item and starting the Int one.
Zane Stormfront AC 21 CMD 22 HP 48/50 Friday January 13th, 2012 5:51:04 PM
OOC: I'll keep that in mind, just so you know, I'll be looking for a set of Robes of Arcane Heritage (slotless). Just didn't want to wait on the Monks robe....
Yondrim (Jon) 65/65 HP AC 20/14/16 CMD 19 DR 1/- d20=14 ; d20=14 ; Friday January 13th, 2012 6:40:10 PM
Crafting Rolls (forgot the 10 spellcraft): Bosk +1 sword, DC 13 to craft 2000 GP in 1 day: 24, pass Bosk, +2 shield, DC 16 to craft 4000 GP in 2 days: 24, pass
This is my first attempt at ever crafting anything... hope those are the right numbers.
Alexi AC 25 Tch 12 Ffted 22 HP 62/66 CMD 22 Friday January 13th, 2012 8:41:46 PM
Alexi has 3gp on him, a pearl, and a couple Mother of Pearl stones. He looks at them and wonders how much it would cost to upgrade his Masterwork Longsword, Cold Iron to a +1. He sighs and decides to concentrate on finding his horse first as he may have to bribe a few people to find Lobo, or even buy him back!
Beriothian (Will)-- AC:22/16/16 HP:57/57 CMD = 22 Friday January 13th, 2012 9:50:13 PM
ooc: in case some people were unaware and curious, during the switch to APG I switched from craft- leather item to craft-trap making.
Restlin (Carl) -- AC: 14/12/12 CMD: 15 HP:43/43 (Spells) - Wand charges: 41 Saturday January 14th, 2012 3:57:57 PM
After three days of furious crafting, an almost disheveled Restlin erupts from his room with a holler. "Friends! I have an introduction to make!"
After he's sure he has everyone's attention, he holds aloft a slender wand made from obsidian. "This," he begins, "is Vera. A thing of beauty, is she not? She is quite testy, though. She'll burn you just as soon as the bad guys I'll use her on. Consider this a warning: next time we encounter a group of nasties, let Vera have some fun before you go charging in, eh?"
Zane Stormfront AC 21 CMD 22 HP 48/50 Saturday January 14th, 2012 4:16:48 PM
Zane arrives at the tower, in what seems like a new robe, but it looks almost exactly like his old robe, just that this one has black edging on it, where the other was just the standard brown of the rest of the robe. "I can help I guess, but I do believe that trying to use the Catacombs to go elsewhere is impossible. There is some sort of marker left on you when you enter the place, that only allows you to exit in exactly same place that you entered from. We'll have to find some other way to locate your horse."

OOC: so how much did we end up getting in the end, and how much were the chits and stuff found in the first room with the skeletons
Alexi AC 25 Tch 12 Ffted 22 HP 62/66 CMD 22 Saturday January 14th, 2012 9:30:27 PM
OOC: oops. I've only been to the catacombs only once, and wanted to return the same way. :(
Bosk AC: 21/12/18 CMD:21 HP 54 of 55 Spells Saturday January 14th, 2012 11:53:43 PM
ooc: Every player got 2 red chits upon exiting the ring, in addition to the 14,914.8gp Bosk, Zeoll, Beri, Restlin and Zane got from the flame swords.
Taken from a prior post of Beri's:
As you wish, here is the treasure count (I added the totals in white chits at the end. A red is worth 5 white, an orange is worth 3 red):
Zombie fight: Coffin #1: 5 white chits Coffin #2: 1 red chit (5 white) Coffin #3: 1 orange chit (15 white) Coffin #4: 5 white chits
First two fights: The hole on the left holds a solid gold urn with no lid upon it. Inside the urn is many White Chits (fifteen total) and two Red Chits. (25 white) The hole on the right has a blue satin pillow with 1 Orange Chit and two Red Chits, resting easily upon it. (25 white)
Extra Centipede Fight: A new hole in the floor opens. Inside is a green satin pillow with three red chits. (15 white)
I believe that is 95 white chits, worth a total of 9,500 gold.
Later we decided each of the seven player's that entered the ring would get 2 red chite (aka 1,000gp or 10 white chits) and the rest would be spent on the following healing items, although I don't think anyone ever bought them, so I will add them to my list in the catacombs.
Restlin (Carl) -- AC: 14/12/12 CMD: 15 HP:43/43 (Spells) - Wand charges: 41 Sunday January 15th, 2012 8:07:18 AM
*Not true, Bosk. Restlin purchased those from the catacombs after he got back from the ring. He left them in the tower for us to take when we needed them.
Bosk AC: 21/12/18 CMD:21 HP 54 of 55 Spells Sunday January 15th, 2012 11:07:11 AM
Thanks. I forgot that.
Interlude -- DM Jim Sunday January 15th, 2012 2:10:20 PM
I'll start Monday since you guys need more time to figure past treasure and catacombs stuff.
Beltrin (Keith) AC: 18/15/18 HP: 56/56 CMD: 20 Spells Monday January 16th, 2012 10:55:25 PM
OOC: Sorry for the missed posts, was out of town for the weekend and I'm just calculating out Beltrin's purchases now. Wasn't he present for the skeleton fight as well?
Zeoll (HP35 of 35, AC22, CMD17) d20+19=37 ; d20+19=37 ; Tuesday January 17th, 2012 6:50:38 AM
First day, the liontaur upgrades his charisma headband to +2. The CL is 8, so the base Spellcraft DC to do the work is 5+8=13.
Zeoll recalls his mastery of item crafting and decides to rush things. [OOC: "This process can be accelerated to 4 hours of work per 1,000 gp in the item's base price (or fraction thereof) by increasing the DC to create the item by +5."] He also cannot cast the required spell, eagle's splendor, so that boosts the DC by another 5. The total DC is 23.
Zeoll's spellcraft is +9. He uses his natural divination to gain a +10 on skill rolls. So he has a +19. He rolls a 37, and the upgrade is complete in a day.
Second and third day, the liontaur upgrades his slotless +1 Headband of Intelligence to +2. The DCs and mods are the same, and Zeoll rolls another 37! Lucky!
Therefore, the recent changes to Zeoll's PC sheet are:
-- added 14,914.8 gp and two red chits. -- completed two item upgrades -- removed two hero points and added three -- added 1403 xp plus 30x3 for hero points
Um, sorry, rather, I plan to make those changes to my PC sheet. Gotta get to work!
Alexi AC 25 Tch 12 Ffted 22 HP 62/66 CMD 22 Tuesday January 17th, 2012 2:02:39 PM
Alexi asks if there is still time to upgrade his Masterwork Cold Iron Longsword to a +1 status.
Bosk AC: 21/12/18 CMD:21 HP 54 of 55 Spells Tuesday January 17th, 2012 2:11:59 PM
ooc: During these few days of crafting Bosk will also prepare spells to heal everyone of any attribute damage they may still have.
Yondrim (Jon) 65/65 HP AC 20/14/16 CMD 19 DR 1/- Tuesday January 17th, 2012 2:36:28 PM
All of Yondrim's time is spent with Bosk's sword and shield. For Alexi's sword it will take two days of Yondrim's time (and 3000 of Alexi's GP)
Bosk AC: 21/12/18 CMD:21 HP 55 of 55 Spells Tuesday January 17th, 2012 2:53:35 PM
ooc: Will there be a chance of failure when you attempt Bosk's armor (no hurry)? The steelgrass is precious to him, so he will be sure to cast spells to aid you or offer you a few skill pills to ensure success. Also, did Yondrim want Bosk to craft any wondrous items for him? For helping Bosk you are first on his list to craft items for.
Alexi AC 25 Tch 12 Ffted 22 HP 62/66 CMD 22 Tuesday January 17th, 2012 6:10:22 PM
Alexi looks at his two red chits and decides to wait for a sword upgrade. He may need the extra money to get his horse.
However he does convert one of his red chits to five white chits and spends one white chit to purchase a vial of anti-toxin to replace the one he drank and a tanglefoot bag.
Beriothian (Will)-- AC:22/16/16 HP:57/57 CMD = 22 Tuesday January 17th, 2012 8:41:24 PM
Beriothian returns from a trip to the the catacombs. He has a bag full of new toys with him, though it looks like he managed to set aside a fair amount of gold for the Celestial Armor he's been drooling over in the store windows.
ooc: I noticed that I actually managed to fall behind on updating my character sheet finances (despite being the guy that originally went back and crunched the numbers for our arena fights). I'm not sure if I just didn't publish my last changes, but I will try to go back and get everything up to date in the next couple days.
Interlude -- DM Jim Wednesday January 18th, 2012 1:54:53 AM
sorry for the delay guys, I'll have a post out today (wednesday) for sure.
Beltrin (Keith) AC: 18/15/18 HP: 56/56 CMD: 20 Spells Wednesday January 18th, 2012 6:10:14 PM
Seeing Restlin's new creation, Beltrin takes a deep breath, thinking to himself Oh my, now that thing will get us into even more trouble. But he smiles and compliments him on the fine craftsmanship. "Very nice, perhaps you'd do me the favor of making something similar when you have a chance? Also, I know that there were a couple spells in my book that you'd like to have another look at. When you're rested, I'd be happy to swap knowledge again."
------------------ Beltrin's still saving money for something bigger.... and more scrolls.
