Ceil Thursday June 12th, 2003 6:38:14 PM
Sly knees are wobbly, "Did you see what's going on out there with those ferrets? I going to stay here untill They sinner down. I'm in, Yes! Sir! I'm in.
Yes! I am buttering you up. My Question is do we go to the Catacomb for spending the 1,500gp? OR Do I ask for the good here?
Ceil Friday June 27th, 2003 7:09:17 AM
My Dear DM James - I heard that you were looking for me? Sir.
Appolo Saturday June 28th, 2003 2:34:00 AM
Come om let's go!!!
Sly Foxx Saturday June 28th, 2003 7:21:44 AM
Do we have a missing DM?
The Lair of the Beast(DM Jim) Saturday June 28th, 2003 11:49:19 AM
The journey through the portal only took a few seconds but for some reason it seemed like ages have passed. As you shake off the freezing feeling that permeates your bones, you glance to the small building before you. It looks like the entrance to a mausoleum; four huge stone columns stand holding the front part of the roof from falling in and a set of stairs lead up to a doorway into the place. If you had to wager a guess you would say that the building is only about ten feet in all dimensions. The outside is well kept with only a touch of ivy growing up the columns. Looking around the rest of the outside you see only a great expanse of open plains. You jump a little as a face appears on the door leading in, you are sure that it is the devil's face, and smiles at you. "So they send more rescuers to get the princesses...have they learned nothing yet." The head almost seems to shake from side to side before the door opens on its own. From inside you hear laughter that echoes from deep within. "Come little people...lets have some fun...I will give you a sporting chance."
[So it begins...have fun my players.]
Sly Foxx Saturday June 28th, 2003 6:00:08 PM
Sly shakes the cold off and takes inventory of himself. He's no longer wearing his mithral armor, nor does he have that special Magic Sword of his, He is wearing studded armor but a very good armor. The sword fells funny. Sly look around to see who else came through the Tapestry. "I'll wait till my companions get here first." Said Sly almost spitting at that ugly face.
Appolo Saturday June 28th, 2003 6:30:13 PM
Appolo appears next to Sly"Hello, you know you should of went to the party.It was great cookies and pies galore and young attractive women to dance with." He says with a smile.
Aramis d4=4 Saturday June 28th, 2003 8:51:34 PM
With a shiver, Aramis clenches his fists and shakes his head to clear and compose himself. "Lovely place," he begins but the devil face cuts him short. When it finishes "Sporting chance indeed. Before we enter I suggest a little powering up." With that Aramis drops his voice to a deep arcane chant and completes a spell. [Cats Grace 4+1=5 10 hour duration] I have several other spells to cast before we enter and can of course bestow Endurance, Cat's Grace and Bull's Strength of some of you."
Dylan Swiftedge Saturday June 28th, 2003 11:48:20 PM
Dylan shudders as he looks at the crypt, not from the cold but rather from the creatures that tend to live in such places. "I am Dylan Swifedge," the druid says to the group, "a druid of Culverwood and a hopeful rescuer of princess'." Dyaln laughs as he says the last.
Tratain AC 27 :Shield of Faith d20+7=23 Sunday June 29th, 2003 9:25:42 PM
Tratain shrugs off the effects of the cold, and immedietly looks around too see if he can Spot(23) anything besides the obvious entrence to the building.
When the Devil appears Tratain Casts Shield of Faith on himself, and prepares for battle.
At the Entrance to Evil (DM Jim) Monday June 30th, 2003 12:03:18 AM
The devil's head glares at those that have assembled. "Only five...I would have expected the old idiots to send an army." Chuckling the head turns this way and that to look over the group. "By all means...power yourselves up...more sporting that way." "You do have more friends coming do you not??" The head laughs again and sticks out it's tongue at Tratain. "Suppose you expect to hurt me boy...please do?"
[besides the entrance, pillars and ivy; you can see nothing else around, just wide open space...sort of like a void]
Sly Foxx Monday June 30th, 2003 5:23:51 AM
Sly being one of the younger member of this party, cannot help snapping back at the Head of Evil. "OH! wouldn't you know it, a hot bag of wind." Then turning side ways keeping an eye on the demond, "Hi! fellows adventures I glad you all made it. I'm Sly Foxx,a fighter and a dabbler in Wizardry."
Dylan Swiftedge Monday June 30th, 2003 5:33:00 AM
"Is this all of us? I expected more. Oh well, if this is what it is to be let us be away the beasties within already know we are here." Dylan looks a lot more comfortable than he feel on the inside.
Lorth Monday June 30th, 2003 7:36:34 AM
Lorth strides through the portal, his full plate shinning as if it had just been cleaned. He looks up at the demon's face and scowls. "Begone, foul apparition. Your end is near, words and berrating will not save you. You will fall, as is the destiny of all your lot." Lorth draws his sword and readies his shield. He whispers a short prayer to Gargul and then to Domi. Turning to his companions he says, "Before we pass into this fiends home, I suggest we appoint someone to make decisions in a time of crisis, when there is but a instant to decide what to do. It would suit us well to all act as one in those situations. Besides that, I am ready to go."
Aramis [Cat's Grace +5 Dex] d4=2 Monday June 30th, 2003 9:13:51 AM
'The creature has no idea what it is in for' the Sorcerer thinks to himself. Another quick spell bursts from the mans lips. [Endurance 2+1=3] Hearing introductions he pulls himself from his thoughts. "I am Aramis, sorcerer and it sounds like a fine idea to me Lorth. I for one do not want the job as I have no training in such things." As Aramis talks he pulls a potion from a satchel and readies to dink it momentarily.
Tratain AC 27(Shield of Faith) Monday June 30th, 2003 11:02:59 AM
Tratain says "I agree , we need to appoint someone to make descisions. We should probably do that before we spend the 10 seconds it will take to deal with the lackey the real Devil's send to pester us with words. I too am now ready to begin."
Tratain also glances at the little marble he recieved in the GG to see what he can learn about it.
Ceira Monday June 30th, 2003 11:31:22 AM
An odd-shaped creature known as a wemic approaches the gathering of heroes outside of the mausoleum. With feathers, roots, and bags of powder hanging all over her belts, the spell components reveal the female wemic's skill in the arcane. "Hello everybody. It is my pleasure to meet all of you. My name is Ceira Karwyn from Wemic Island. Like Aramis, I am also a sorceress and provide what assistance I can when the time arises."
Ceira is startled by the sudden realization that the door speaks to the group but she quickly regains her composure. "I guess approaching by stealth can be scratched out of the playbook. You can expect me to join the fray little doorman."
"So in regards to Lorth's question, a few of us have expressed their opinions. What about the rest? I have been through my share of adventures but my experience is limited to more of a support role."
At the Entrance to Evil (DM Jim) Monday June 30th, 2003 12:15:49 PM
The head once again sticks out its tongue. "Did the old coot tell you that they have sent elves into my playhouse and none have returned." Glancing to Lorth he smiles an evil grin. "From your manners and SMELL...it take it you are a paladin." With an appraising look he takes Lorth in with eyes and then smiles. "Yes...my sister could have great fun with you, maybe an early present for them."
If the devil had feet you are sure that he would be tapping it right now. "Come on you sods...afraid of the Booger Man." With that he goes into a fit of laughter that rolls on endlessly in the open plains. Spotting the marble it stops laughing. "Ohh...you had better get rid of it, that thing is EEEEVVVIIIILLLL." It goes back into a fit of laughter again and then disappears completely.
From deep in the depths. "Please join my little game."
[the marble is currently completely black with only faint lines of red cutting through it, it gives off a faint aura of evil but gives you no reason for alarm]
Lorth Monday June 30th, 2003 2:07:06 PM
"I am Lorth Jeredosta, Paladin of Jarlswolf, and your tricks will not work on me, foul demon. Go back to the pit of slime that spawned you, we will be there soon enough.", Lorth replies to the face. "Friends, I also do not wish to lead, although I steadfastly beleive we need a leader. Perhaps someone of the healing or arcane arts would make a good leader as they could assess how ready they are to join battle. As for me, as long as I stand I am ready to destroy evil."
Edge Monday June 30th, 2003 2:21:01 PM
A silent figure in black appears. He grips s light mace tightly in his right hand. For now, he says nothing, but listens and observes.
Aramis Monday June 30th, 2003 2:37:19 PM
Aramis turns a dark stare at the face upon the door his eyes narrowing and lip curling slighty, "Devil, Demon you all smell the same to me and upon you I will pour my rage of heritage and curesed existance. For your inherited defenses will encouter thier equal in the magics I wield."
"Lorth if you are to stand against the foe, will you permit me to place a spell of protection upon you?"
Sly Foxx Monday June 30th, 2003 3:57:23 PM
Sly look at Ceira, "you come from the Ilse of Weimic? Do you know of a fighter centaur named Flat-top? Yes! Yes! I heard of you. I agree with you we need a leader, and I think it should be one of the magic-users, Amaris or Ceira. What do you think? my Borthers, (then bows to Ceira)and Sisters." Sly puts on a pair of gloves, as he does so you can see a broken spiral tatoo and it shows blood red.
Ceira d20+16=32 Monday June 30th, 2003 4:11:55 PM
"We should proceed when ready and talk as we move forward. Is everyone accounted for yet? There is no time to waste because every minute ticks against our favor."
"Why yes!" Ceira responds to Sly, "I do indeed know of a centaur named Flat-top. He's such a sweet fellow and a good friend of mine. I should invite you over to our islands and show you around sometime."
Ceira bows at Sly's recommendation. "I would be honored to assume the role of leader for our group. Of course, for the sake of teamwork, my decisions will always be readily open for discussion amongst us. I suppose I ought to familiarize myself with all of your skills. Tratain, judging by that spell you cast, I assume you are some kind of cleric? (OOC: Spellcraft=32)" Ceira turns to look at Edge, "You sir haven't said much since your arrival. Would you care to divulge your name to the rest of us? Judging by your mannerisms, I assume your skills revolve around stealth? And Appolo, what do you bring to the table?"
Appolo Monday June 30th, 2003 7:55:05 PM
Appolo just stood quietly and listened. His game face on the smile gone darkness had fallen over his visagelending ita terrible aspect. The the Ciera spoke to him"What do I bring,well I'm a Pirate of Jack and have spent the past five years fighting G'aal and his minions. I am also quite and accomplished thief and sneak, but most of all I am akiller of men. That is my primary role in my pacticular group. To seek out and destroy the enemy.I acn scout and kill without mercy or thought.I can perform both advance guard and rear guard actions and am often the first member of my group to engage the enemy and the last to cease.I also tend to be lucky." He states coldly and dispassionately as he pulls the hood of his cloak over his head. He's not trying to scare or impress just stating what he is capable of doing,in a rather blunt and cold manner.
Tratain AC 27[Shield of Faith] Monday June 30th, 2003 8:03:29 PM
Tratain says "Looks like its settled, if there are no objections shall we let Ceira make decision when quick decisions are needed. Now shall we go and indulge the Devil with his little game. I think he'll find that playing with us won't be as much fun as he thought it was going to be."
If everyone is ready Tratain will approach the Building with the others.
The eyes have it or is it the mouths??(DM Jim) Monday June 30th, 2003 11:16:22 PM
As you go through the main door and into the first room you get the distinct impression that you are being watched, though you see nothing. It is a big surprise to you all when you reach about the middle of the room and eyes appear all over the walls and ceiling. They do nothing but blink and turn to watch you as you move around. Though they do nothing but watch you it does give you the willies, but as you reach the other side of the room a mouth appear. "I am watching you...always watching...so don't keep me waiting." The mouth laughs then stops talking but does not disappear and the eyes to stare on at you. There is only a single door right in front of you.
[map on its way for reference in the game]
The eyes have it or is it the mouths??*forgot*(DM Jim) Monday June 30th, 2003 11:22:17 PM
[Will save DC 21 for everyone]
Sly Foxx d20+8=27 Tuesday July 1st, 2003 4:56:50 AM
Sly readies himself makinf sure that of his sword and the ring of force Shield. He fall into line. "Oh! how I hate Demons and their Grind their nerves Tacktics" Crossing the room with the others when The Mouth appers "Go Away You Have Bad Breath."
Lorth d20+10=12 Tuesday July 1st, 2003 7:40:49 AM
Lorth attempts to walk at the front or near the front of the party. "Aramis, any spells of protection would be greatly appreciated, thank you."
(OOC: Will save: 12 failed (Oh well), if it is fear I am immune to it and everyone within 10 feet of me gets a +4 bonus.)
Dylan Swiftedge d20+11=23 Tuesday July 1st, 2003 9:15:59 AM
Dylan nods at the others, "Nice call Sly as to a leader, someone not at the front is a better call to make instant decisions." Dylan listens to the face in the door and smiles. "I guess we should be off and inside if we are to save this princess. Dylan smiles as he easily shrugs off the mind attack. "Let us move quickly," Dylan says forcefully.
Aramis [Cat's Grace +5 Dex, Endurance +3 Con, Potion +2 Cha] d4=1 d20=11 Tuesday July 1st, 2003 10:14:16 AM
As the group decides to move in, Aramis asks "Are we sure we cannot take a few more moments outside?" He then quickly drinks his potion [Charisma 1+1=2 for 3 hours] hurries to catch the group and coming up behind Lorth casts a spell [Stoneskin, The subject gains damage reduction 10/+5. Ohnce the spell has prevented a total of 100 points of damage, it is discharged. Otherwise it lasts 100 minutes]
(OoC: Will save 11+8=19 fail unless it is fear then the +4 bonus from Lorth puts me over the top)
Ceira d20+10=12 Tuesday July 1st, 2003 10:57:17 AM
"Hmm... a single door ahead of us." comments Ceira as she looks on. "We'd better not take any chances. Appolo or Edge, care to check for any traps? This entity might have some pregame warmup exercises lined up for us."
Ceira takes a closer look at one of the eyeballs. She will try to discern if all the eyeballs are focused on one party member or of various eyes are looking at each member of the party.
"Once the door is open," continues Ceira, "I recommend we proceed through doors and corridors in a particular marching order. Here's what I recommend: Edge Lorth Tratain Dylan Ceira Aramis Sly Foxx Appolo If any of you feel uncomfortable in a specific spot then voice your opinions now before we move on. This is preliminary until I get a better feel of your talents."
(OOC: Will Save 2+10=12 Are the eyes sticking out of the wall or embedded within? If they are sticking out, Ceira will take out one crossbow bolt and lightly tosses it against one of the eyes to test if they are incorporeal.)
Tratain d20+12=30 Tuesday July 1st, 2003 11:25:45 AM
Tratain is able to fight off the Mind attack(30) he looks around at the room and says "It appeares we only have one way to go, Can anyone check to see if the door is trapped? It seems this Devil likes Games and Trickery so I am expecting traps, poison and the like. I don't think it will actually confront us untill it has no other choice."
Appolo d20+5=15 Tuesday July 1st, 2003 12:48:52 PM
Appolo follows along bringing up the rear quietly watching and listening.
OOC:Will 15
Edge d20+6=16 d20+16=25 Tuesday July 1st, 2003 3:56:05 PM
Edge replies to Ceira. " I am called edge. My occupation is that of a second story burglar. I am good at getting into and out of places where I am not wanted. I can also come out of the shadows with a little sentry removal when required. I always feel the best way to handle a guard though, is to never let him know you're there in the first place." Edge enters the room with the others. he fails his save (16), if he is still able, he will search the door for traps(25).
Little Trouble for the Group (DM Jim) d100=16 d100=16 d100=23 Tuesday July 1st, 2003 5:54:56 PM
Moving towards the door, you hear the sudden screams of three of your number. You turn to stare oddly at what you see before you.
Ceira throws her hands in the air and turns running back the way you came. You see her run through the still open mithril portal that leads back to the Giggling Ghost.
Appolo screams something about the eyes are watching him and to get away, don't look at me. He also runs out the door you entered and through the portal, back to the Giggling Ghost.
Edge had been about to say something before he turns deathly white and covers his face with his arms. It is not surprising with two poeple already having run out, to see Edge do the same thing.
Laying on the floor where all three had been standing is the marble they had gotten in the Giggling Ghost.
What to do now will be a decision that you all must make. You will also not know if the others are coming back or not.
[Ceira, Appolo and Edge may not post for one round in the Mithril Tapestry. You three may reenter the tapestry on Thursday. You must make some post in the Giggling Ghost saying that you have come back through the tapestry.
Sly Foxx Wednesday July 2nd, 2003 5:58:34 AM
"What the...? Where are you guy going?" He yells at there backs. Sly looks down and there are the marbles. Sly will cast Detect Magic on the marbles. sooomenium> (Casting spell). "Don't touch, they may be curse."
Lorth Wednesday July 2nd, 2003 7:38:52 AM
Lorth doesn't seem surprised when he watches three of his companions run off. "Looks like this room is warded by fear magics. Standard fiendish trick to try and separate their foes.", he says, "Hopefully it will wear off them soon, either we should send someone back quickly, to get them, or wait a few minutes and hope they return." Lorth then takes out his marble, then puts his hand to his forehead and stares intently at it. (OOC: Detect evil on the marble. If it is even remotely evil I smash it with my warhammer.)
Dylan Swiftedge Wednesday July 2nd, 2003 8:33:12 AM
Dylan stares in disbelief as the three run out of the tapestry, "That doesn't bode well for our endeveour," says the druid quietly,"Do we wait or do we move on? I for one say we wait a few minutes before we make any hasty decesions." Dylan resets his shield on his arm and places his spear point first into the dirt ready to spring into action.
Tratain AC 27[Shield of Faith] Wednesday July 2nd, 2003 11:14:46 AM
Tratain watches his comrades run out of the house and through the portal in fear and looks down at the marbles they dropped on the floor, and picks them up. He says "I think these are important, and they may need these to return. If they are not back in a minute or two perhapse we should try and send the marbles back through the portal and see if they can return then. I also believe that the marbles tell us how much time we have to rescue the princesses, who know what else they may do."
Aramis [Cat's Grace +5 Dex, Endurance +3 Con, Potion +2 Cha] Wednesday July 2nd, 2003 12:45:46 PM
"Oh this is not good." he says shaking his head slowly forefinger and thumb pinching the bridge of his nose. Sticking close to Lorth, "All right, I say we give them some time. Fear is short term issue, but if and when they come back they may encounter the same problem. Anyone have a spell to counter this or should we ditch these marbles? On another note, Cat's Grace, Bull Strength, Endurance for anyone?"
Aramis delay's on whoever answers first an casts the spell.
Of marbles and lost comrades (DM Jim) 3d6(3+2+3)=8 3d6(5+6+1)=12 3d6(1+2+1)=4 3d6(1+1+5)=7 3d6(2+5+5)=12 Thursday July 3rd, 2003 2:57:48 PM
The time passes eventfully as some of you stand and wait to see if the others will return. The mouths went into a peel of laughter when your companions ran away, making chicken noises after them. The eyes blink several times and then all of the eyes and mouths, but two, disappear. You do notice that the last eye has detached itself from the wall and is currently shrinking to fit into Sly's backpack. It soon disappears inside and is still in there. The single remaining mouth slips around the group. "See what your friends are made of...nothing like leaving you in the bad is it." It continues to float and bob around.
Sly takes the time to cast his spell and finds out that indeed the marbles are magical. He will also remember something about timekeepers being mentioned by the old elf.
Lorth growls with rage as he feels the slight evil in his marble. Laying it on the ground he expertly swings his warhammer at it.
Dylan sets him self in a relaxed position standing and leaning slightly on his spear to see what happens next.
Tratain bends over and pockets the three marbles intent on giving them back to their owners.
Aramis makes his offer of added spells to help out the group, while keeping close to Lorth.
In the next instant there is a deafening boom in the room as the warhammer makes impact with the marble. Warhammer shrapnel flies about the room and you all feel cuts on your unprotected body. Lorth is left holding the still smoking handle of a warhammer, the head completly blown off and the marble still intact on the floor.
Minutes after the explosion Ceira, Appolo and Edge come running back into the room to find the aftermath of the attack on the marble.
[fortitude save DC 22 or be deaf for 3posts for everyone but Ceira, Appolo and Edge, Lorth:8 damage, Aramis:12 damage, Sly:4 damage, Dylan:7 damage, Tratain:12 damage]
[Ceira, Appolo and Edge may post now as well]
[the marbles were to be given to each person as a sort of time keeper while they are in the devil's realm. I am not sure but this should have been in the first post in the GG, if it was left out then please amend your mental notes.]
Aramis AC 18 HP 58,50 [Cat's Grace +5 Dex, Endurance +3 Con, Potion +2 Cha, Stoneskin 100HP] d20=14 Thursday July 3rd, 2003 4:23:48 PM
BOOM! "Ah! Sonuva...." cries the young man as the sound rings through his ears and metal zings by him. [14+9=23 Save] Aramis casts Stoneskin on himself and then sees teh others come back. "Sweet. Glad to see you back with us." he calls hand raised in salutation. "Still leaves us with the door then." Aramis will wait for a burly warrior or Rogue to do thier thing.
Edge d20+18=24 Thursday July 3rd, 2003 4:36:39 PM
Edge makes his way back in. He walks to the door and checks it for traps, saying not one word. (trap search 24)
Appolo Thursday July 3rd, 2003 6:30:27 PM
Applo follows edge to the then turns and looks at the group.:Is everyone ok it looks like you've had your own problems as well."He says as he waits for Edge to complete his work.
Sly Foxx d20+9=23 Thursday July 3rd, 2003 7:45:38 PM
At the explosion Sly yells "Ouch! My ears are ringing. Ahh! the three runner are back. Your eyes are over here." He hands Ceira the eyes. "Ahh! my hearing is comming back."
[edited by CDM Jerry]
Tratain AC 27[Shield of Faith] d20+15=17 d20+17=26 d8+7=15 Thursday July 3rd, 2003 10:56:21 PM
Intent on picking up the marbles for his comrades the deafing explosion takes Tratain completly by surprise "What the..." he shouts. "PLEASE DON'T TRY THAT AGAIN. YOU KNOW, THAT MOUTH IS STARTING TO REALLY ANNOY ME." Tratain Lashes out at the Mouth with his warhammer attempting to silence it.{Hit AC 26 for 15 Damage). "WE SHOULD HEAD IN TO THE NEXT ROOM AS SOON AS WE CAN."
Lorth (STONESKIN 92 HP) Friday July 4th, 2003 1:55:29 PM
Lorth tosses what is left of his hammer to the side. "Well that was a waste of a magical warhammer. I apologize, seems these marbles hold some great magical energies, that was no simple warhammer that just shattered. Furthermore these marbles radiate evil, and obviously are super powerful magical objects to be able to sunder my warhammer so easily. I suggest we get rid of them, I don't feel good about continuing this quest while our party carries evil objects of power." Lorth then takes his marble and throws it on the ground outside. "One wonders why a goodly elf would give us items of evil? Perhaps trickery plays itself out here."
Onto the Next Room (DM Jim) Friday July 4th, 2003 8:27:10 PM
Much to Sly's surprise the eye comes out of the back of his pack and lazily floats in the air. It would appear that this eye will be a little harder than that to catch.
Tratain's attempt to hit the mouth leaves him over-balanced, but he keeps his footing. The mouth just gives you a raspberry after the hammer passes through it.
Edge gently runs his hands over the door, using his eyes and light touch to check for traps. The hand shaped plate, where the knob should be, on the right side of the door is the only oddity. As Edge checks it out for traps as well the door slides open, into the left wall, as his fingers come in contact.
Lorth muttering about the marble hurls it out the room, where is rolls in the short grass and comes to a rest.
The rest stand and wait as they door is check. Aramis taking the time to cast another stoneskin for himself.
Situated in the next room you see a couple of tables with food and drink still on them. Along the left wall are some weapons and armor hanging on hooks. You see a doorway, no door present, that leads deeper into the mausoleum. The room is clean as if used sometime recently and the food looks mouth-watering. After entering the room you will notice a chest off to the left side.
Dylan: AC 25 Hps 70/77 d20+9=29 Saturday July 5th, 2003 12:35:14 AM
Dylan shakes his head to clear out the deafening blast<Reflex 29> and sighs at Lorth, "You wouldn't be needed as a paladin if there were no evil in the wold, perhaps the marbles need to be evil in order to balance out and work in this tapestry. Please in the future dont simply smash things." Dylan looks at teh others,"Let me know if you need any healing." With that the druid enters the room.
Lorth (STONESKIN 92 HP) Saturday July 5th, 2003 11:59:57 AM
Lorth looks at Dylan, "If there wasn't any evil, it would suit me just fine. There would still be plenty to do, helping the poor and sick, general rebuilding after natural disasters, etc...", he trails off thinking to himself what a great world it would be with no evil.
"We certainly wouldn't have to be here.", he says matter of factly, to no one in particular.
Then to Dylan again, "There is no reason to carry anything with the taint of evil. No matter what it helps you overcome. I am wary that you would find it ok to use a lesser evil to destroy a greater one, neither evil is acceptable. And any evil sows corruption, to the bearer."
He turns to the rest of the party, "I suggest we all get rid of those evil marbles. But barring that; Since it was told to us that the marbles are timepieces, I suggest we keep one and lose the rest. How many clocks does one party need?"
Lorth gives a passing glance to the armor and weapons, but the ignores them thinking, anything here will be tainted. "Let's continue on.", he says.

Aramis simply listens as Dyan and Lorth speak, a bit surprised by the clerics views, but knowing nothing of religion he chalks it up to another of his myths dispelled. Lorth on teh other hand was nice and simple, a paladin in all his glorious self righteousness through and through and Aramis had no issues in such a man. A chest, some arms and armor, food and drink not your run of mill mausoleum. Armis will fall back towards the middle of the group as they move into the next room. If the group starts to disperse to look about he will try to remain within 10' of Lorth and keep his eyes and ears about him. [Spot 14-1=13 Listen 13-1=12]

Tratain is aware of the conversaion's going on about him but can hear nothing besides the ringing in his ears. "I wonder if anything here is magical? I wouldn't touch anything, especially not the food on the table. We should probably check that chest, there may be something useful in it, then again there may not be, but I for one would hate to get further along and then have to turn back because we missed a key or some such sitting in the chest." Says Tratain a bit louder than he normally speaks.
Tratain will detect Evil and see if anything in the room radiates evil.
Sly Foxx {Ac 20 hp60/56} Saturday July 5th, 2003 7:40:47 PM
Sly takes a couple of swing at the Eye, but the darn thing moved out of the way. "What this a time piece? Looks like a spy to me... YOU! (Sly points to the eye) stay out of my way." "Yes Dylan I need a little bit of healing." Sly will not eat the food on the table, but will walk with Dylan into the next room.
Appolo Hp 76 Ac27 d20+3=5 d20+6=7 Sunday July 6th, 2003 12:24:43 PM

Dylan shakes his head at Lorth and turns away muttering,"and they wonder why I prefer the company of the forest and the simplicity of the hunt." Dylan slides his wand out of his belt and zaps Sly once with it healing 16 points of damage. "There you go Sly." With that the druid turns around and absorbs the tracks or lack of on the floor. Wilderness Lore DC 32 for track. Spot 10 Listen 13.
Ceira Monday July 7th, 2003 11:17:42 AM
"So much for your fearless leader." mutters Ceira a little embarrassed. "Thanks for the marble Sly. What is the deal with your marble and why is it flying?" Ceira waves her hands in the air and casts Detect Magic to investigate the food, weapons, and chest.
"So Lorth, are you saying all of our marbles radiate evil or was it only yours? It is queer why the elf would give ALL of us a timepiece. I suspect that each function more than just as a timepiece and each one is unique in its own way. I would not be so quick to throw them away." Ceira pulls out her marble and looks at it more carefully.
Of chest, food and weapons on walls (DM Jim) Monday July 7th, 2003 1:40:31 PM
Noone hears or can see anything of interest in the room besides the tables, weapons and chest. Anyone getting near the doorway to the next room will notice a slight copperish hint in the air.
Tratain takes the time to detect evil on the room. He gets a mixed style reading due to being in a devils realm, but with a little concentration he is able to detect nothing in the room. You can still sense a little bit of evil from each person, you would guess it was the marbles.
Sly's attempt to discourage the eye leaves it blinking at him before it starts snooping around the room. Mostly where the group is at, is were you find it. Somtimes floating over a shoulder of one of you.
Dylan taps Sly for some healing and then searches the floor for signs of tracks. He finds nothing of interest in the thin layer of dust on the floor, besides thier own tracks.
Ceira's detect magic spell gives her the impression that the weapons are most definitely magical. The food on the table is also magical somehow. The chest gives of fainter signs of magic that would suggest something inside.
The mouth is still following you around as well and it now floats over to Lorth smiling. "Better check your hand buster." Indeed, Lorth does feels something in his hand and when he checks....there is the marble that he threw earlier. In the distraction the mouth takes the time to kiss Lorth on the cheek.
[note that the eye that is following you detached itself from the earlier room's wall and is not Sly's marble. there is also no door in the doorway leading to the next room.]
Edge d20+16=28 Monday July 7th, 2003 5:18:05 PM
Edge walks to the chest. He pulls out a rolled up piece of soft leather. When it is unrolled, many metal instruments of various shapes and sizes are exposed. Before removing any of the tools, he looks the chest over for any traps.

Aramis casts Bull Strength on himself. [4+1=5] He will then start looking over the weapons on the wall taking inventory of them as he goes, but resisting his natural urge to grab something.
Tratain AC 27 [Shield of Faith, 20% Displaced] d20+7=13 Monday July 7th, 2003 9:29:13 PM
Tratain peers into the next room but does not actually enter it. He tries to see whatever he can in there and in the room the party is in now.
Dylan: AC 25 Hps 70/77 Tuesday July 8th, 2003 4:43:20 AM
Dylan stands behind Edge preparing to help out the professional burgular in case something should go wrong,"I would reccommend that some of us move awa yjust in case our friend her makes a wrong move." Dylan cast resistance on teh rogue and steps back prepared to heal in case of emergency.
Lorth (STONESKIN 92 HP) Tuesday July 8th, 2003 7:35:20 AM
Lorth looks at the marble in his hand, "Now I'm cursed.", he mutters, "Nothing good can come of this."
Then to everyone he says, "This all seems very strange to me. An elf, supposedly goodly, asks us to rescue some captives, and gives us marbles, for time pieces. These marbles turn out to be evil and extremely magically powerful. Then we come to the devil's realm and the fiends floating about this realm, know all about these marbles. Then you can't even get rid of the marble if you wanted to, as it teleports back to your person. No one else sees something wrong here?"
Then sarcastically he adds, "I supposed the elf cursed these marbles, so that we wouldn't be careless and drop them"
Lorth then throws his marble away again.
Aramis AC 18 HP 58,50 [Cat's Grace +5 Dex, Endurance +3 Con, Potion +2 Cha, Stoneskin 100HP, Bull Str +5] Tuesday July 8th, 2003 9:11:25 AM
Aramis stops in mid step as Lorth lays out the illogic of it all. "Hadn't really thought of it like that." he says some what to no one.
"Lorth has a good point, it would not be the first time a demon or devil has duped a mortal."
Ceira Tuesday July 8th, 2003 11:19:49 AM
"The weapons, food, and something inside that chest is magical." announces Ceira. "Be careful."
"Although what you say is right," Ceira says to Lorth, "we have to take a chance at what is transpiring here. Our only two options are to move forward or to turn back to the Giggling Ghost. After all..." she pauses to clear her throat in hesitation, "ahem... nothing stopped us from running back into the tavern."
"If that elf's intent is to hurt us, then he could have unleashed these marbles to do their worst in the first room. I see no reason why he would want to delay our deaths unless he's just cruel. Even still, he would be letting us defile each room we step foot in. There is something else amiss about these marbles. There is a possibility that a fake aura is cast on these marbles by the eyes in the previous room."
(OOC: So Detect Magic did not sense anything from the marbles either?)
Appolo Tuesday July 8th, 2003 2:48:16 PM
Appolo quietly listens and watches as the others discuss the situation.He then says"Excuse me but I think we should be moving along now and Lorth it looks like we have no choice but to keep the marbles for now.So here's the plan we find the demon or whoever is rubnning this place,rescue the princeeses and shove the marble down it's throat. Now can we get moving please." Appolo is still quit irritated.
chest, food and weapons on walls (DM Jim) Tuesday July 8th, 2003 3:44:55 PM
Edge takes his time to check over the chest and is quickly glad that he did. He finds a small hole in the front of the chest and much to his dismay another one right below it. This chest he would say is most definitely trapped.
Sly makes a circuit around the room, looking for anything out of the ordinary that they may have missed. He does notice the mouth watering aroma coming from the table.
Aramis listens to the goings on around him but his main focus is the weapons hanging on the wall, after he takes the time to cast bull's strength on himself. A quick inventory reveals a longsword, battleaxe, composite longbow, longspear, mace, large steel shield and a breastplate hanging from the hooks. It is evident that each is a fine work of art, not some shabby knock-off.
Tratain stands by the doorway and peers into the next room. This close he can taste the copperyness in the air from the next room. It reminds him of something and then it hits him as he sees the blood oozing from the walls. There is a thin layer of blood coating the floor of the next room. The far wall holds a door and a plaque, but you cannot make it out at this range.
Dylan makes to support Edge if he needs it and warns the others to maybe get back a little.
Lorth mutters and rants about his marble, argueing that it is not fight. Though some seem to agree with him about it, some stay quiet on the subject. Still Lorth throws his marble again to get rid of it.
Ceira warns them of the magic evident in the room as she ponders the words of Lorth. She points out thier options and waits to see what is decided. He earlier detect magic reveals the magic contained in the marbles is very srong.
Appolo just wants to continue on and kick some but. It is obvious that he is still upset about earlier and needs to relieve some anger.
[The room is 25' by 25' and 15' high. I will need to know how far away everyone is from Edge.]

Tratain is standing near the entrence to next room and is sickened by what he see's in it.(Failed Will save with a 23, if its a Fort save i make it) He quickly turns to his comrades and says "I couldn't quite hear the conversation but it seems several of us are uneasy about carrying the marbles, I don't think it is a good idea to get rid of them altogether so how about one of us carry's all of them, if we need them, that person can hand them out, if they are dangerous, only one of us is exposed to the danger. i will carry the marbles if we decide to do this."
If able Tratain then casts True Seeing, annoyed at the Devil and its games of illusion and trickery, and then looks about trying to spot(15) the Devil.
Appolo HP 76 Ac 27 Wednesday July 9th, 2003 1:46:42 AM
Appolo move toward Edge he is about 15 ft away. "Need any help or are you ok?" He says clearly but not loudly.
Sly Foxx Wednesday July 9th, 2003 6:55:00 AM
"PEE UUU! Your breath smell of rotting garbage." Sly tell the mouth, but gives the table the once over. (He will not touch anything on it). Sly tell Ceira "I don't like this eye floting around me, makes me feel that a one eyed spy is always looking over my shoulder."
Sly is walking arounr the table. he'll be atless 8' to 10' feet away fron Edge.
Lorth (STONESKIN 92 HP) d20+10=28 Wednesday July 9th, 2003 7:17:42 AM
Lorth moves up to Tratain and hands him his marble, if it once again returned to his hand. "Good idead", he says. He then takes a look into the next room. (WILL SAVE: 28, FORTITUDE SAVE: 33) "Well that sure is disgusting, but none the less expected in this vile place.", he says mostly to himself, "I supposed one of us will have to walk across, unless someone can fly or float?" He thens holds his shield between him and Edge, bracing for impact. I've seen this more than once, he thinks.

Aramis is along the far wall from Edge, about 18-20' away. Truning his attention away from the weapons, can't use any, at the comments of Lorth and Tratain. He heads over to see what they are talking about. Glancing into the room himself, [Will 15+8=23] "Oh, I think I'm gonna be sick. Sorry about the boots guys."
Dylan: AC 25 Hps 70/77 d20+9=19 Wednesday July 9th, 2003 9:12:41 AM
Dylan relaxes as Edge points out the traps and walks over to the door to the next room, "Thats...thats..thats horrible. I c..a..n..'t." The druids words trail off as he attempts to clear out the thought of what he has just seen.
Ceira Wednesday July 9th, 2003 10:49:08 AM
"As soon as we investigate the contents of the chest, we can move on." Ceira looks over at the floating eyeball to see if it is focused on one particular person or taking turns on everyone.

Chest and danger. (DM Jim) Wednesday July 9th, 2003 7:44:35 PM
Aramis and Tratain glance into the next room and feel their bellies riol with revulsion. The next thing they realize is that they are emptying their contents onto the floor. They both look a little green and sheepish at the display. Tratians true seeing spell reveals no devil but when he looks back into the room he notices that he food is actually rotten and the wine soured.
Lorth keeps it together when looking into the next room and gives his marble to Tratain as it has returned to his hand.
Dylan makes his way over to peer into the next room as well and doubles up. The next thing you hear is something splattering on the floor as his stomache rebels at the sight.
Sly mouths a little about the mouth and eye, but knows better than to try anything again as it would not work.
Ceira notices that the mouth and eye makes no attempt to settle on one person but moves around to bug them all.
Appolo moves towards Edge and inquires about help as Edge goes to work on the chest to disarm the traps.
The next thing you know is there is a spray of something from the chest that would appear to be water. Right behind it comes a blast of black soot as well that sprays in an arc.
[soot effects those 15' from Edge reflex DC 24, blinded for 3 rounds if failed] [adic effects those 10' from Edge reflex DC 26, failure causes damage this round and next 3 rounds] [chest is near the door you entered on the other side in the corner. anyone near the far door would be safe from harm.]

Tratain looks at the weapons to see what they really look like, and then looks into the next room to see if the blood is an illusion as well. If he can spot the floating eye and the mouth too try and tell if they are illusions as well. If they come close enough Tratain and seem real he will try and strike at the eye. (Hit AC 20 for 9 damage) If they seem to be illusions Tratain will continue to look around trying to see what he can see. (Spot 13)
OOC: How Far is the chest from the doorway to the next room, from what i understand I should be out of reach of the effects of the Trap as the chest should be near the front of the room. I rolled the saves just incase.
Sly Foxx d20+7=23 d20+7=26 Thursday July 10th, 2003 6:19:11 AM
Sly hears some noise comming from the direction of the chest, not waiting to see what is wrong (yet). He jumps onto then slides accross the table. The Soot gets him, But not the acid. Now Sly stand there with soot on his face and one big mess on the floor.
Lorth (STONESKIN 92 HP) Thursday July 10th, 2003 7:28:06 AM
Lorth watches as the trap goes off and falls short of reaching him.
(OOC: From your description DM Jim, I think I am out of range being I am at the far door.)
"Is everyone ok? Perhaps we should touch nothing unless it bars our way?"
Dylan: AC 25 Hps 70/77 Thursday July 10th, 2003 9:31:13 AM
Dylan turns as the trap is sprung and watches as the soot shoots out,"EDGE!" the druid shouts out as his eyes adjust to the blackness of the trap. Dylan moves quickly through the traps effects and searches for Edge in order to check him and heal him.
Ceira d20+7=17 Thursday July 10th, 2003 10:57:43 AM
Upon hearing the trap go off, Ceira instinctively turns to see if Edge is okay and gets a blast of soot in her eyes. "Eeek!" yelps Ceira. She quickly brushes the rest of the soot off of her face and body by shaking her whole body like a feline would.
"Argh! I can't see a thing! Is everyone okay? Edge? You guys don't sound too well over in that doorway either." Ceira will start feeling her way towards Edge. If she finds him she will drag him away.

"At least it wasn't a big meal." he moans as he takes a sitting position on the floor with his back against the wall facing away from the doorway and room. "Nice" he mutters to himself as the traps go off and the soot cloud rolls forth, but falls short. "we're OK here at the door Ceira. Just a minor disagreement with my our stomachs." As he sits there feeling quesey and looking at the condition most others are in one thought comes to mind, this would be the perfect time.

(open lock 21)
Contents of the chest. (DM Jim) Thursday July 10th, 2003 6:07:38 PM
Appolo, Lorth, Dylan, Aramis are all well out of the range of the soot/acid and suffer no effects though they do check on thier friends. Some of them keep a look-out as the others get thier bearings.
Tratain using his true seeing looks at the weapons and see them for what they are, just normal magical weapons as Ceira stated earlier. A glance into the other room reveals the blood to be just that, pooling blood. The eye and mouth are not illusions and when the eye comes near he smashes it, it makes a nice little splatter mess.
Sly and Ceira are not so lucky that they catch a face full of soot (blinded for 3 rounds) along with the rest of thier body. Ceira moving forward to try and help Edge bumps into Dylan who is going to do the same thing.
Edge just barely moves to the side as both traps are sprung and shoot past him. He breathes a sigh of relief but apologizes for the little problem. He pulls out the rest of his tools and sets to work on the lock which pops easily to his skill. Inside Edge spots a set of six little vials laying in a velvet lined holder.
[when moving onto the next room I will need fortitude or willpower save DC 25*whichever save is worse*from anyone that has not already made one. anyone that does not pass develops a phobia of blood for the rest of the module, roleplay accordingly. another fortitude or willpower save DC 26*whichever is worse will break you free of the phobia.]

Tratain says to the group "The weapons appear to be normal weapons, i didn't sense any evil about them and they look like normal weapons, the food on the other hand is rotten do not touch it under any circumstances. The blood in the next room also appears to be real, i don't see an illusion."(Rolled 31 to break free from the phobia)
"Shall we investigate the next room or shall we wait until Ciera and Sly can see again before we move on."
If the mouth wanders within range Tratain will take a swing at it. (Hit AC 28 for 9 damage, 26 Spot check to locate anything out of the ordinary)

Aramis takes a few deep breaths and tries to steady himself. Getting slowly up he again confronts the room of gore. [12+8=20 fail] He quickly spins back out of sight and his back falls hard against the stone wall so he faces away from the room. his stomach churns and he works to control it. "You might be better off Sly", he says in a low voice. "I don't know if I will be continuing with you." He says sounded defeated. "what would be the point after all."
Ceira (Blinded) Friday July 11th, 2003 11:15:21 AM
"Ugh..." Ceira's balance is still very stable for a feline since she has all four paws on the floor. "Dylan, I don't suppose you'd mind if I grasped on to you too? I need a sense of direction."
"Let's not waste too much time. Let Edge or Appolo scope out the room for more tricky traps while Sly and I recover. Someone also mentioned the room is full of blood? I haven't had my chance to check it out but there's some magical play involved here so be careful of that too."
"If the coast is clear, I recommend we proceed in groups of two's or three's. If a trap is set off, then there is no reason why all of us needs to be a victim."

Appolo sees the vials and quickly grabs themputting then inside one of his pockets. He then turns and helps Sly to his feet."Here Sly let me help you."Appolo reaches down a pulls Sly up the looks around"Aramis are you ok. Hey man snap out of it.The piont is to go find this demon and put a serius beat down on him and his crew, as well as rescue some fair elven damsels in distress. So buck up man it's only a trick." Appolo then heads over to the room and has a look and immediately starts to retch."Well that is cough agh disgusting" he says backing away.
Edge d20+6=10 Sunday July 13th, 2003 5:47:08 PM
Edge has neither the will nor fortitude to handle the gore at this point, and thus vomits into the chest which fortunatly no longer contains the vials.
To Move On Or Not To Move On. (DM Jim) Monday July 14th, 2003 7:19:39 PM
The devil mouth starts traveling around the room, mocking each person especially those that are still sick. The mouth makes its way over to Tratain and sticks out it's tongue. "The eye said that you swat like a girl." It breaks into a peel of laughter and then Tratain lets go smashing the mouth with an audible pop. Looking around he notices that the eyeball is back and floating near Edge who is bent over the chest.
Sly and Ceira are given help so that they can find thier way around, while they are blinded. Tratian feels the queesiness of looking at the blood in the next room fade some and he no longer feels ill.
Aramis pipes up and sounds almost defeated by the few trials that have been thrown at the group so far. Appolo does his best to reassure the man and gives him some insentive to continue...retribution and fair damsels. Appolo also picks out the vials from the chest and just in time as Edge makes a new mess in it.
Discussion of how to proceed becomes the topic as ya'll mill around trying to get ahold of yourselves. Decisions??

Edge Monday July 14th, 2003 7:54:13 PM
Edge takes control of himself after a few moments of sickness. Fear has built within his heart since the very beginning of this journey. He pushes onward though, determined to walk back through the tapestry with a tale of horror, yet success. Stepping into the next room, he is ready for anything, but well aware there will be things he could never be ready for in the days ahead.

Lorth (STONESKIN 92 HP) Tuesday July 15th, 2003 8:09:41 AM
"This next room is covered in blood, it is probably better you can't see it.", says Lorth to Sly, "Do you eyes feel perminently damaged or just irritated and clogged up? Lets wait for your eyes to clear if you think they will."

"I have no problems in staying right here awhile. Tell me when Tratain clears the room, I'm gonna see if I can burn away the blood." The thought of using destructive force brings a small sparkle back to his eyes even above the nauseum churning through his body.

Dylan: AC 25 Hps 70/77 Tuesday July 15th, 2003 10:49:30 PM
Dylan gladly lends his left hand to Ceira as Edge leans on his right, however teh druid moves slowly toward the blood drenched room next door, "I dont believe we should hurry until our companions are capable of seeing."
Blood Room and the Plaque. (DM Jim) Wednesday July 16th, 2003 1:44:03 PM
Edge and Tratain move on into the next room. Tratain makes his way over to the plaque by the next door. Edge is right behind him fully intending to check out the situation. You see no knob on the next door nor does there appear to be a way to open it. You get to read the plaque before the door behind you closes.
How can you say rabbit without the R?
You both turn to see that another door in the doorway that you just entered is closing fast. It is quickly closed fully and you are left standing in the blood room. if that was not enough of a problem the walls are now spewing out more blood...the room is being filled up with blood.
Meanwhile back in the other room...Lorth is letting Sly lean on him while his eyesight returns. Lorth tells Sly about the blood in the next room and that he is better off without his sight at this time.
Aramis talks about burning away the blood in the next room, after Tratain and Edge have cleared it out.
Ceira leans on Dylan and reassures the group that she will have her sight back in a little while. Dylan makes a comment about waiting to move on till the others are ready, but Tratain and Edge have already moved into the blood room.
Appolo growls about all the blood to himself and with some impatience looks to the others to see if they are moving out yet.
[anyone standing in the doorway to the blood room needs to make a reflex DC 20, failing sends you flying into the blood room so you will go with my above post for Tratain and Edge, passing allows you to pick the direction that you roll to get out of the way] [remember that each of your posts is the equivalent to 10 seconds, so keep an eye on your spells duration]
(STONESKIN 92 HP) d20+9=14 Wednesday July 16th, 2003 2:18:44 PM
Lorth doesn't notice when the door starts to close, it firmly hits him and pushes him into the next room.
As he slides across the blood covered room he say, "Could we have waited at least until other people's eyesight returned before we decided to trounce off and spring other traps?"
Lorth the examines the door that just hit him, what is it made out of he wonders? (OOC: what is the door made of?)
Edge Wednesday July 16th, 2003 4:52:50 PM
Edge begins curseing. More words come out of his mouth than the entire time he has been present thus far and none of them are nice words.
Ceira the Sightless Leader Wednesday July 16th, 2003 5:54:14 PM
While still rubbing her eyes, she hears a door close. "What was that?" asks Ceira. "Did someone set off a trap? Quick, I need a head count."
(OOC: How thick was the doorway? Assuming roll call is taken...) "Appolo, I trust you have good eyes. See what you can do about finding a switch or even a weak crack on the door."
"Aramis, think about what spells you have in your repertoire. Anything similar to Open/Close or Stone Shape?"
"Dylan, your hearing as a druid should be keen. Try yelling and listening for their response. Maybe if the door is weak and thin, we can coordinate something and bash down the door from both sides."
"Sly, we need to get this powder out our eyes." (OOC: Last round of blindness right?)
Ceira the Sightless Leader Wednesday July 16th, 2003 6:00:22 PM
OOC: I don't want to sound too bossy so feel free to act as you would like. I'm just giving suggestions.
Sly Foxx d20+7=26 Wednesday July 16th, 2003 9:59:57 PM
"I'm alright, Ceira, I'm trying to whipe the soot out of my eyes, I'll be alright in a few minutes." Then turns to Lorth asking "What was that Tartain was saying 'How can you say Rabbit with out the R?' How about bunny? that's a rabbit with out an R." Sly smiles.
Aramis AC 18 HP 58,50 [Cat's Grace +5 Dex, Endurance +3 Con, Potion +2 Cha, Stoneskin 100HP, Bull Str +5] Wednesday July 16th, 2003 10:41:32 PM
"Oh this just keeps gettin better." he grumbles. To Ceira, " We got Tratain, Lorth and Edge on the wrong side and no I'm afraid I don't. Well, I suppose I could reduce the door. I mean a door half the size would be easier to move right?"
If nobody pops it open and Ceira gives the OK, Aramis casts Reduce at the door. [90% reduction in weight, 50% reduction in size effecting up to a 10x10' cube.]
Tratain AC 27 [Shield of Faith; 20% Displaced; True Seeing] Thursday July 17th, 2003 12:03:06 AM
Tratain Shakes his head upon reading the plaque, and says "Bunny" aloud. He says to his comrades, "What kind of Devil is this? We must have found the most cowardly Devil in existence here. I'll bet his superiors put him here to be rid of him."
Dylan: AC 25 Hps 70/77 Thursday July 17th, 2003 9:05:17 AM
Dylan can only shake his heads as the 3 partymates manage to set off a second trap and get separated all at once. "Ceira here is the wall lean here for a minute let me examine the door." Dylan places the weimics hand against the wall and strides over to the door,"HEY CAN YOU GUYS HERE ME!!" Dylan shouts loudly while banging on the door with his club.
Appolo d20+3=22 Thursday July 17th, 2003 2:32:34 PM
Appolo let's Aramis cast his spell, then quickly steps forward and searchs the door for a lever or any way of opening it."Let's hope they can hold on. You know I was thinking of giving the life of anadventurer and hero up."
Right Answer and Ability to Move On. (DM Jim) 3d6(3+5+2)+2=12 Thursday July 17th, 2003 5:38:02 PM
The door closes and Lorth is hit by it as it does(12damage). He slides on into the next room as the door striking him pushes him forward. He is now covered almost from head to toe in warm blood. Luckily he gets hiself up before the blood reaches almost a foot deep.
Edge goes on a cussing spree that makes both Tratain and then Lorth give him appraising looks. He does not seem to give the looks much notice though.
Ceira calls for a roll call to see who is on this side and that will tell her who is on the other. She quickly sends everyone into action to check on the door and make sure that everyone is alright.
Sly continues to wipe the soot from his eyes as he puts his head into gear on the puzzle that he heard minutes before the door closes. He is not sure if his answer is right or not, but it would do little good on this side he figures.
Aramis sums up the situation for Ceira with who is present and then makes the suggestion of reducing the door.
Dylan makes his way over to the door and thunks on it with his club. There is the resounding sound of wood hitting metal as he does and he whistles lightly. He holler to see how the others on the other side are doing is unanswered and he can only take that one way.
Aramis casts his reduce on the door and can tell that the door has reduced in size from the rub marks on it, but he cannot see into the other room. Evidently this door is extremely big. Appolo moves forward after the spell has had time to take effect and makes checks to see if he can open it somehow. He finds no levers, switches or other ways to open it.
Tratain on the other side blurts out the word bunny. He also considers the devil that put this together to be a sissy and most likely sent here to die.
Both doors slide open as Tratain says the word bunny. You can now see into the final room, you would say that as Tratain and Edge notice no more doors in it just a big hole and some statues. Appolo who had been standing at the other door gets his feet bathed in blood as the door whiskes open on him.
[next post will be round 3 for the blindness and then you will be able to see after that]
Appolo Hp 76 Ac 27 d20+11=23 d20+7=22 d20+7=10 Thursday July 17th, 2003 5:53:02 PM
Appolo sidesteps the blood and then pukes agian. Looking around shakely"Well the doors open shall we continue?" he shakely slogs through the blood and into the next room passing through it with a furius look on his face.Patently ignoring the blood.
Ceira d20+6=9 Thursday July 17th, 2003 7:42:25 PM
Ceira is caught off guard when the oncoming rush of warm liquid brushes by her feet. Her nose does not lie as she smells the taint of blood in the air and begins freaking out, "Oh my god!" shrieks the wemic. "Where is all this blood coming from? Did everyone just die on me? What happened?" Ceira starts trembling while still leaning against the wall... and still blind.
(OOC: I think I've failed every save since stepping into this tapestry. Are you sure you want me leader? ^_^ I now have a phobia for blood.)
Tratain AC 27 [Shield of Faith; 20% Displaced; True Seeing] d20+7=20 Thursday July 17th, 2003 10:52:27 PM
Tratain peers into the next room but does not enter, He examines the statues and whatever else he can see from the doorway, looking for anything out of the ordinary. (Spot 20)
Lorth (STONESKIN 82 HP) (-2 Normal HP) Friday July 18th, 2003 8:59:59 AM
Lorth turns to Ceria when the door opens, "Everyone is ok, don't know who's blood it is but it is not ours. Seems to seep out of the walls." (OOC: Your the leader :) )
Sly Foxx Friday July 18th, 2003 9:00:58 AM
Sly takes his waterskin out and dampins hie handkie, "I hate to wast water on my eyes but if I want to see. WHAT? The word WORK? HA! I can just see this big bad devil sipping lemon juice, with his pinkie out and sniffing roses." Sly hugs the first person next to him.
OOC: Ceira your still number One.

The blood splashes through and try as he might, Aramis can not keep away from it fast enough. Back peddling he trips and lands on his back. Turning to his side he throws up, spits, sputters and then gets back to hands and knees. Casting a look to Ceira, he spits a final time "It's ok Ceira, they're ok, we're ok. Door popped open and it appears that the room was, (small burp and long exhale) filling you could say." Aramis then gives her the quick of the room beyond. Big hole (where?), statues, no exit. "Anyone got rope?"
Edge Friday July 18th, 2003 9:31:54 AM
Edge finally stops cussing and gets ahold of himself. " This blood. Its going to make me sick. I've got some rope. It's 50' long. "
Dylan: AC 25 Hps 70/77 d20+9=18 Friday July 18th, 2003 10:48:21 AM
Dylan turns as the blood pours into the room through the now open door and vomits all over the place, "Thats it I have had it," the druid says as the blood laps over his feet. Dylan proceeds to utter every concieved insult and crummy word he can and them he turns ,"I have a rope in my pack if you need it but hurry, I have got to get out of this."
Holes and Statues. (DM Jim) Friday July 18th, 2003 5:33:23 PM
You all peer into the next room to find four ten feet tall statues. They are all made of stone and hold stone spears. Atop each spear is an elven head, very fresh and driping blood down the stone spear. The statues are in the forms of winged devils and just beyond them you notice a large hole in the floor, about eight feet in diameter. A series of torches line the walls and provide more than ample light to see by.
The eye mocks you as it too peers into the room and rolls over and over. The mouth reappears and floats to the doorway and through. It stops and turns to face you. "Very well done my little players...still the worst is yet to come." The mouth bursts into a peel of laughter and then floats out of your way. "How are your tummies holding up."
Appolo Hp 76 Ac 27 Friday July 18th, 2003 6:01:43 PM
Appolo walks up to the producing 50 ft of rope himself."I have some rope as well." When the mouth appears Appolo replie"Just fine now thatwe'ved emptied them.OH yeah and tell your master when I find him I'm going put his head on a pike personnally."He then checks his rope and grappling hook.
Shy Foxx (Still Blind) Sunday July 20th, 2003 8:51:30 AM
"I hope that I have my sight back when we meet face to face." Sly grind his teeth, "I also have rope in my back pack, if more than one want to desend at the same time?" Sly turn to what he thinks where Dylan is standing "Dylan! you ancher the rope around something and we'll go down together, OK?"
Aramis AC 18 HP 58,50 [Cat's Grace +5 Dex, Endurance +3 Con, Potion +2 Cha, Stoneskin 100HP, Bull Str +5] Sunday July 20th, 2003 10:50:43 AM
Aramis sits tight and waits for the statues to attack wondering if any of his spells will harm them.
Tratain AC 27 [Shield of Faith; 20% Displaced; True Seeing] Sunday July 20th, 2003 10:18:18 PM
Tratain waits at the doorway looking at the statues expecting them to move at any moment. He waits for someone to secure a rope for the party's decent onto the next floor.
Dylan: AC 25 Hps 70/77 Monday July 21st, 2003 6:02:13 AM
Dylan grits his teeth as the floating eye mocks the group and pulls out the length of rope in his pack. "Who still can't see? We need to space ourselves out to protect each other and to spread healing out amongst those that can't," Dylan says trying to appear more confident than his still rolling stomach feels. Turning back to the statues Dylan casts Detect Magic and waits on the others to be ready.
Lorth (STONESKIN 82 HP) (-2 Normal HP) Monday July 21st, 2003 9:03:12 AM
Lorth looks at the elven heads in disgust. "Shouldn't we at least remove them from the spears?" Lorth moves to take one off a spear, if no one objects.
Ceira Monday July 21st, 2003 10:39:27 AM
"Wait Lorth." exclaims Ceira. "It's obvious there is inherent danger here. How about we try sawing off or destroying their hands first? That way, they won't suddenly animate and attack with either their spears or their claws."
"Even if they never animate, there's no harm in leaving a wake of destructive behavior in an evil person's lair right?" Ceira winks and grins mischieviously.

Appolo prepares to set up a rope leading down the hole, while giving the mouth a mouthfull.
Sly produces another rope to add to Appolo's if his is not long enough. He also asks Dylan about securing the rope/s so that they may move on.
Aramis is cautious about the statues and just knows that the are going to attack any minute. With this thought in mind he cast a mirror image on himself and prepares for the worst.
Tratain hangs by the doorway and waits for the rope to be secured while watching the statues. He is also not taking any chances.
Dylan pulls out a length of rope of his own and inquires about the blindness of those that got hit by the soot. He also suggest that they spread out to better cover each other and provide healing. His detect magic spell is still a mixed reading, but it is evident that if the statues themselves are not magic something on them is.
Lorth comments about removing the elven heads from the spears and he steps forward to do just that. It is only with Ceira's interruption that he stops and listens to her about it maybe a trap.
Ceira goes on to suggest they harm the statues in some way. Leaving a little destrucion in thier wake for some of what has been done to them.
Edge moves into the room and starts searching the statues over for traps, triggers or hidden compartments. He is checking out the first statue when he gets the impression that it moved.
Dylan is surprised as one of the elven heads rolls over to stop at his feet. Armais is also surprised as a head lands at his feet. By this time you see that the statues are moving on thier own, very much alive. One of the statues moves towards Dylan, another towards Lorth, one moves towards Aramis and the last stays put to attack Edge (hit ac: 37/18; damage: 12/13).
[the statues are slow and cumbersome, but have the reach advantage against you. it is the players turn for attacks. remember to keep track of spells and thier durations.]

(If there is a statue 5 or less feet from the edge of the hole, Lorth improve bullrushes it, into the hole. Incuring no attacks of opportunity. Str. Check: 24)
(If there is no statue near the hole, I attack the nearest one. )

Dylan: AC 29 Hps 70/77 : Barkskin Tuesday July 22nd, 2003 8:59:43 AM
Dylan quickly casts a spell and touched his chest, feeling the strength of nature reach out ot help protect him the young druid growls sounding like an attacking wolf. "Assist on another, flank this stone beast and lets take 1 at a time. Ceira! Call our target and we need to work as a pack." The druid sets himself with his arms stretched out spear in one hand and wooden shield in the other.
Tratain AC 27 [Shield of Faith; 20% Displaced; True Seeing] d20+19=29 d20+12=23 Tuesday July 22nd, 2003 11:24:33 AM

Club in hand, Aramis calls out, "Ahh, what are ya comin after me for? Go pound a fighter, they love that sort of thing." Energy flows through him and expells out his fingers. Like threads of silk, purple white lightning arcs out and across teh upper portion of the statue heading his way and then upward into the ceiling. [Defensive cast check 33 DC 20 Dmg 30]

Edge is hit by only the first attack. He goes to full defense mode and retreats from the room.

(OOC: What are the dimensions of the room for length, width, and height? How wide was the door we just walked through? Remember, Ceira's a large liontaur so she'll take up some space. Any maps? ^_^)
Ceira backs up a few steps to let the others maneuver. "If we try to beat down one at a time, I suggest making a strategic retreat back to the blood room and engage them at the door." says Ceira. "If we're lucky, they might return to their posts."
She looks over to Appolo, "Appolo, can you make it back around? If not, then we can only charge ahead and make the best of the situation."
(OOC: If he can, then she will move back all the way into the blood room. If Appolo cannot make it then do this...) Ceira will cast Flaming Sphere at a location somewhere behind the statutes and away from everyone else. She will command the sphere to start ramming the statue nearest Appolo.

Appolo's rope and grapnel arches its way around the devil statue's (1a) legs, catching and pulling tight. Just a few seconds after Lorth hits the devil statue (1a) head on and pushes it back. Devil statue (1a) teeters on the brink of the hole and then topples over into the abyss. Appolo rolls out of the way just as the devil statue (1a) goes over so that he will not go with it.
Sly finally getting the last of the soot out of his eyes, looks around and inquires about he fight and why eveyone is so bloody.
Dylan casts a spell on himself to help against the attack of the devil statues and then prepares himself for the battle to come.
Tratain moves in to back up Lorth in the fight. He attempts to cast a spell on Lorth as he gets close that will help in his defense.
Aramis curses his bad luck as one of the devil statues (1d) starts moving towards him. With a movement and some words he lets a bolt of pure lightning streak towards the devil statue (1d), but other than leaveing a little smoke rolling off it the devil statue (1d) appears unharmed.
Edge bits back the pain of the wound inflicted on him, as he dodges the secondary attack. He quickly moves away from the devil statue (1b) and exits back into the room of blood.
Ceira, seeing that both Appolo and Lorth are moving to attack one of the devil statues (1a). She quickly comes up with a spell that should allow for big help for the group. She notices that her two companions are able to topple a devil statue (1a) into the hole. Her flaming sphere appears a little to the side of devil statue (1c) and starts moving towards it.
Devil statue (1a) topples over the side as he had started to make his turn to attack Appolo. He plummets into the hole and is soon missing from the battle.
Devil statue (1b) moves into attack Dylan (hit:29/23, damage:14/14) it's spear driving in with two rapid movements.
Devil statue (1c) takes a pair of arge steps and jabs at Lorth (hit:21/30, damage:21/14 twice. It does not pay any attention to Tratain as he stands nearby, nor does it notice the flaming sphere behind it.
Devil statue (1d) does not stop to take notice of the lightning as it rolls over it, nor does it stop. It makes no noise or shows any emotion as it stabs at Aramis with its spear (hit:23/32, damage:17/17) (hit image:3/5 you are image 2 right now).
[Having fun yet kiddies. You will also find a battle map at the following URL. I will update as needed. I would also like you to put all spells that you have working and your AC on the Post Name line. Do not put hit points on there as this will subtract from roleplaying, thanks.]

After helping to push the statue down the hole, Lorth spins and manages to get his shield up in front him. Narrowly staving off the statue's attacks.

"Ha! All brawn no brains." Aramis taunts the statue as it only hits the figment doubles. "Lorth if you an Prince Charming are done dancing with that one, would you mind terribly?"

Dylan watches as the rest of the party fights and shrugs his shoulders, casting defensivly <DC 29 success> the druid casts Cure moderate wounds on himself healing 20 points of damage. Dylan looks a whole lot better.

Tratain comes charging in at Devil Statue (b) and with all his might he smashes his warhammer into it's exposed back. The beginning of crack lines form across the monsters back as you set yourself for whatever happens next.
Lorth spins and takes all of Devil Statue (c) attacks off his shield. Each thundering impact jars his body and he would swear that his arm is numb. He retaliatory attacks both succeed in getting through the monsters defenses, but to his amazement they leave no marks...not even a scratch.
The attacks from the Devil Statue (b) leave blood trickling down Dylan's side and some pain. He bites through the pain though and brings his own spear snaking in...to only have it bounce harmlessly off the things skin. He knows that he hit it with a solid hit, what went wrong he does not know yet. Taking into account what just happened he backs off and casts a healin spell on himself, while asking if anyone else is hurt.
Aramis breathes a sigh of relief as the Devil Statue's (d) attacks all find images of himself. Calling for help he launches an attack of his own. His club barely missed the monster's kneecap and he only has time to straighten up, wondering if help is coming.
Ceira commands the flaming sphere to circle a little around the Devil Statue (c) and slam itself into the monsters head, hoping to drive it into the hole as well. She watches on as the monster does not even teeter on it's feet.
Edge steps up to the door, leaving room for anyone else needing to escape for a few. He pulls back and lets his dagger fly at Devil Statue (d). His aim is true and the dagger strike the statue full in the chest, only to bounce harmfully to the floor.
Sly charges at Devil Statue (b), cussing about the ugliness of the mouth that keeps following them around and how much it looks like these monsters. His windmill spin finds his sword connecting solidly in the side and he follows through with an overhand chop full on that connects with the thing's body. As he settles into a fighting stance for whatever is to come he notices that his attacks left not a scratch on the things skin.
Appolo is AWOL.
From the hole you hear the beating of wings and soon see Devil Statue (a) come flying back up and out. It has no expression, but from the feelings that you get you can tell it is not happy.
The Devil Statue (b) seeing that Dylan is moving away goes for the more available target. It turns on Tratain and brings it spear (hit:21/34, damage:17/17) slamming in at your body, trying to literally impale you.
Devil Statue (c) simply takes the slam from the flaming sphere as it continues after Lorth. It's first jab is low towards your legs and the next comes up higher towards your upper body (hit:35/23, damage:16/18). These things may not be quick, but they are strong.
Sensing a weakness, Devil Statue (d) continues it's assault on Aramis. With unfeeling moves it jabs it's spear into two more of the images (hit:32/27, damage:13/18)(hit image:2/2 you are image 2 right now).

Aramis tries to spin with the jabs, but a pair of deep lines, one on each side provide more than enough evidence he did not move quick enough. "I really got to learn to keep my mouth shut." he sputters to himself. "Oh nice, he's back." Looking at the creature flying back up the hole. Aramis casts defensively Haste [31 success] and follows up another swing [AC 31 dmg 19] Solidly connecting with the statue's upper leg.
Lorth AC 38 (STONESKIN 82 HP) (Magic Vestment +3 AC) (Full Defense +4 AC) Friday July 25th, 2003 2:58:54 PM
Lorth frowns when his slashes do no damage, "Seems swords to not harm these creatures." He then changes his fighting style to full defense (+4 AC) and moves himself between Aramis and the statues attacking him, he attempts to block them and keep them away from Aramis.
Edge, AC 27 d20+15=34 2d4(2+2)+1=5 Friday July 25th, 2003 4:38:10 PM
Fortunately the dagger is a returning dagger and Edge gets it back quickly. Edge pulls out a wand of magic missiles and forces it to fire for him.
(dc for useing wand is 20. made that with 'use magic device' roll of 34. Magic missile damage of 6 points to statue d. roll says 5, but I should have had +2 instead of +1, so that one would be added to each d4.)
Ceira AC 21 (Flaming Sphere round 2 of 10) 2d6(1+3)=4 Friday July 25th, 2003 4:52:36 PM
"Try to bring out your blunt weapons." suggests Ceira. "If the situation doesn't get any better, I recommend making a strategic retreat back through the door. There, we can let Tratain can bash away to his heart's content while we heal him and buff him up with other spells."
She will command her flaming sphere to leap up at Clay Devil C's arm in an attempt to disrupt its attacks. (damage: 4)
Dylan: AC 29 : Barkskin Saturday July 26th, 2003 9:00:01 AM
Dylan backs away and into the next room. Standing just inside the room the druid pulls his wand out of his belt and places it in his shield hand preparing to heal. "To the door," Dylan calls out "We can do much better in here."

Tratain activates his boots of speed (Free Action) and with the extra action defensively casts Spiritual Weapon and has it attack Clay Devil(c)(Spiritual Weapon hits ac 13 and 21 for 8 and 4 damage Rolled 25 vs DC 17 for casting defensively)
Tratain continues his attack upon Clay Devil(b) (Hits AC 28 and 21 for for 11 and 8 damage)

Appolo is standin quietly trying to figure out how to beat these things when he sees the statue return,this time it's flying. Appolo curses and falls back,draws his sword and prepares to play defence."Our friend is back,anybody got any ideas?"
Sly Foxx 2d6(6+6)=12 Sunday July 27th, 2003 3:34:26 AM
As Sly backs away he keep his eyes on the statue. "Well! If my blade won't do it. Then it will have to be Magic." When Sly thinks he's far enough away from the statue, he will let the spell he has ready (Fire ball) go at the statue hoping to give more time for the rest of the party. "Oh! the shame of it. I have never retreated. But take this statue 'Whossh!'" And Sly cast Fire Ball, hoping to pust the statue back (a 12 for two fire balls)

Aramis tries his best to dodge the two attacks, but a pair of red lines appear on his body. It is then that he notices that the Devil Statue (a) has flown back up out of the hole. He casts a haste spell on himself and then with some furry brings his club crashing into Devil Statue (d) knee. A splintering of lines appears on it's knee.
Lorth is not happy about the ineffectiveness of his sword. He goes on the full defensive as he shouts out to the others about this fact. Seeing that Aramis is in trouble he moves that direction to get between him and Devil Statue (d).
Edge's dagger returns to his hand and he casually slips it into it's sheath. Pulling out a wand he takes aim and fires off two missiles in Devil Statue (d) direction. Both missiles slam into the statue, but they seem to have no effect.
Ceira shouts to everyone to switch to blunt weapons, if they have them, and try them as they have been effective so far. If that does not work then she wants them to retreat and then let Tratain go bash happy. She then commands the flaming sphere to slam into Devil Statue (c) arm, trying to help it miss it's attack.
Dylan backs off and into the blood room. He calls out for everyone to back off into the room where they will have an advantage. He pulls out a cureing wand and slips it into his shield hand.
Tratain activates his boots of speed and then cast spiritual weapon. He commands the weapon to attack Devil Statue (c) and it does. At the same time he continues his own attack on the Devil Statue (b).
Appolo racks his brain for a solution to thier immediate problem and is stunned to see the one Devil Statue (a) come flying back out of the hole.
Sly makes a strategic retreat from Devil Statue (b) and then lets loose with a pair of fireballs. They speed towards their target and impact, leaving that area awash in flames for a few seconds. As the flames die down you notice that the statue is still moving towards you.
Devil Statue (a) lands near Tratain and Appolo. Turning towards Tratian it jabs it spear in at him three times (hit:25/39/34, damage:15/18/20).
Devil Statue (b) walks through the flames left by the fireball and heads straight for Sly. It's spear decends in rapid succession to strike at Sly's body (hit:28/37/31, damage:19/14/20).
Devil Statue (c) continues it's own assault on Tratian, it's spear driving in hard and faster than before (hit:38/26/33, damage:17/17/18).
Devil Statue (d) takes a set of jabs at Lorth as he passes to cover Aramis (hit:37/19, damage:16/16). After that it continues to attack Lorth now that he is in the way of Aramis. His spear comes diving in hard at Lorth and he notices that the attacks are coming in faster now (hit:29/23/35, damage:19/18/13).
[Anyone hit by a successful attack has aquired a bleeding wound...1hp of damage per turn from the time you were hit. Only a heal spell or a healing spell of 6th level or more.]
[Tratain please ignore the first and last attack, they missed.]
[Don't expect this all the time but try checking the potions that you got out of the chest earlier. hint hint]

Lorth AC 38 (STONESKIN 82 HP) (Magic Vestment +3 AC) (Full Defense +4 AC) Monday July 28th, 2003 1:43:05 PM
Lorth knowing that that party is WAY WAY WAY outclassed says, "Time to leave friends, there is no possible way we can win this. I beleive our elf friend, either had it in for us, or WAY WAY WAY underestimated this devil. It would be tough for adventurers of the 20th season to get through this, and who knows what waits down that hole? I am retreating back to the inn and hope you do the same." Lorth turns around to leave and retreats to the blood room.
(OOC: We can only cast 5th level spells which means we can never heal a wound inflicted by one of these insane mud golems.)

Aramis OoC Monday July 28th, 2003 1:59:31 PM
Apparently Lorth is a faster typist then me. If Lorth heads out there is no way Aramis is sticking around. He would cast Shield to help further protect his retreat.
Sly Foxx d6+12=14 d6+7=12 Monday July 28th, 2003 5:14:34 PM
Sly know that he's dying, he's bleeding to death. "This will make you very happy." Sly will look for any thing blunt (chains or a statue arm) He will try for the club, "Domi please help me!" while reaching for that club.
OOC: I don't know how far Sly is from the club, he was on the way to the next room. If he makes it Here are the two attacks rolls 14 & 12 I don't think I made it, But if I did roll the damages for me.
Appolo Retreat Monday July 28th, 2003 5:32:20 PM
Appolo steps quickl forward clicks on his boots of speed and catches Tratain as he is falling with his and carries out of the and makes a beeline back to the Giggling ghost with Tratian over his shoulder.
Dylan: AC 29 : Barkskin d20+21=36 2d8(6+5)+10=21 Monday July 28th, 2003 10:20:14 PM
Dylan glances over Tratain's body and does a quick heal check<DC 36>, then quickly lays his hand on Traitains forehead and casts Cure Moderate Wounds on the young man, healing 21 points of damage. "If that doesn't do it we need serious help." The druid prepares to face teh statues if they come to the door in order to allow his companions time to escape.
Ceira Tuesday July 29th, 2003 11:22:53 AM
"Don't panic yet. Let's see if they are even willing to leave this room. Just to be sure, let's regroup in the room with the table of food. Maybe that weapon rack is a possible solution."
Ceira breaks off her Flaming Sphere spell and now casts Improved Invisibility on herself.
"Try to stay on the defensive. If you cannot get away, I will come to you and cast invisibility on you.
Edge, AC 27 Tuesday July 29th, 2003 11:48:22 AM
Edge hangs out in the room where the table of food is, waiting for the others.
" I ain't giving up yet, but we need to figure out how to hurt these things. "

Edge starts cussing about his lack of usefulness and hopes that someone will give him an idea of what to do...that will work.
Lorth starts retreating back to the door. He hollers to the others to retreat to the inn and he has some rather bad suspicions about the elf that sent them on this mission.
Aramis drops his club and yells to Lorth to take it. He believes that out of all of them Lorth has the best chance of staving off the statues. Seeing that Lorth is going to flee he does not try to cast any spells on him, but does cast shield on himself retreating as he does.
Sly takes a few to look around for any blunt objects. He finds large chunks of rubble that could be thrown at the statues but nothing of serious note. He starts his retreat only to find a club in his way, that he stops to pick up. Resigned to his fate he holds his ground prepared to sell himself if need be.
Appolo catches Tratain as he falls, from massive damage. He can tell that he is still alive just lost consciousness during the battle. Appolo then activates his boot and makes a straight shot to the doorway to the blood room.
Dylan waits for Appolo to get Tratain near him, possibly through the door, and then lays his hands gently on him. He cast a healing spell into Tratain that brings him around if not a little sore.
The Devil Statues were about to give chase when you hear something from the hole. From out of the hole come four forms that quickly assess the situation and dive into action. (spot check DC 8 to notice if not paying attention) A small group of ragged elves have come out of the whole and are now engaging the Devil Statues. One of them is barking out orders and he glances in your direction, he seems to be asking you to stay though he says nothing.
Elf (1) drops down to land by Devil Statue (a). His warhammer gleams in the light and is a blur as he swings it in at the statue (hit:27/19/19, damage:12/8/7).
Elf (2) lands near his companion elf and brings his own hammer to bear on Devil Statue (a). His attacks (hit:33/20/18, damage:8/12/12) are just as swift as his friends and he seems to be fighting for his life.
Elf (3) lands near his two men and brings his own weapon to bear on Devil Statue (c). His own attacks (hit:24/23/24, damage:14/11/10) are just as deadly as his men's attacks.
Elf (4) aims a ring at Devil Statue (b) and says a strange word in the elven language. The statue is slammed (hit:21, damage:10) in the back by a ghostly goathead.
Devil Statue (a) crumbles under the combined attacks of the two elves. It is a given that he will not be getting back up to fight any more.
Devil Statue (b) gets slammed in the back of the head with the ghostly ramhead and ends up laying on the ground. It slowly picks itself back up from the ground and turns to look at the elves, eyes flaming.
Devil Statue (c) is met with the bashes of an elf's morningstar and staggers under the assault. It launches it's own attack (hit:31/20/25, damage:13/18/15) at the elf (3).
Devil Statue (d) continues after Aramis and Lorth as they retreat. It takes a few jabs (hit:19/21/24, damage:17/17/12) at Lorth near the doorway.

"Ah for the love of....SLY! We are leaving the area!" At this point he notices the elves. "Great. That's not what I needed to see." Aramis takes a deep breath mutters a curse of stupidity and springs back in the room for Sly. Upon arrival, he casts Stoneskin on Sly. "OK Hero, you got the club." Assuming the golem thing took a image or two Armis casts another Mirror Image on himself producing 7 of himself.

Tratain Starts awake ready to attack as Dylan heals him, the bleeding wounds hurt greatly. Groaning he retrieves the wand and uses two charges to heal himself after getting Apollo to put him down.(Healed 12 and 11)
Taking in the situation Tratain says "Dylan if you would be so kind as to heal me again im still pretty banged up, and if there are anymore of those stoneskins id appreciate that as well. Lorth Switch weapons with me, Sly meet lorth and I at the statue closest to our position if you can, I have a little trick that can help defend a person or two but they need to be standing right next to me in order for it to work. One of those Statues is busted now, with those elves we can take the other 3"

Once again the devil statues attacks cannot penetrate Lorth's magical vestment. Lorth hears Ceira's and Tratain's words and steadies himself. Lorth drops his total defense and tosses his sword to Tratain, he then grabs Tratain's warhammer and spins to get ready to attack the devil statue on his heels. (OOC: Lorth attempts to hold the door at the blood room if possible. Obviously I let any friends pass, but not the devil statues, if possible)

Sly grabs the club and stands his ground as the Devil Statue (b) starts to move towards him. His attacks get nothing but air as the statue does not even make it to him as it falls flat on it's face.
Aramis charges back in to stand slightly behind Sly. He notices the elves as the appear and is not sure wether he should be thankful or not. He casts stoneskin on Sly and then mirror image on himself, not knowing how long the battle will last even with the obvious help.
Tratain asks for more healing as he switches weapons with Lorth so that he can assist Sly. He has a plan but they must be close to use it so he needs to be healed. Besides he figures they have a chance now with the elves help. His spiritual weapon continues it's assault on Devil Statue (c).
Lorth evades all the attacks and then grabs the warhammer that Tratain offers. He spins on his heels and prepares to guard the door as best he can with Sly.
Dylan, smiling casts a healing spell on Tratain and then hands him his club. He acknowledges the man's courage and his ideas.
Ceira still near the door but now invisible taps Sly with her healing wand. She encourages them to do their best and that thier bravery is not lost on everyone.
Devil Statue (b) turns it's back on the group near the door and glares in the direction of the elves. It lumbers in their direction, murderous intention on it's mind.
Devil Statue (c) continues it's assault (hit:29/23/16,damage:20/15/12) of elf (3). It's eyes also blaze with an inner hatred that is very hard to miss.
Devil Statue (d) trys once again to pierce (hit:22/39*critical35*/27,damage:17/20*critical40*/17) the defenses of the man, Lorth, that he is chasing down. Though the elves have appeared and he can sense them he wants this man that would dare defy him.
Elf (1) turns to center all his attacks (hit:24/30,damage:7/12) on Clay Statue (c) a smile playing across his face as he dances around the thing.
Elf (2) falls into perfect harmony with elf (1) and they are both soon dancing around the statue, slamming (hit:26/23,damage:7/10) it with attacks.
Elf (3) says a few quick words to the other two fighter elves and charges off after Devil Statue (b). The wound that he had recieved earlier is bleeding rather well but he pushes on through the pain. He brings his mornigstar crashing (hit:19/25,damage:9/9) into the statue's knees as he rolls by.
Elf (4) stays in the air and looks over the situation. With a quick movement he points the ring in the direction of Devil Statue (b). Once again you see the ghostly outline of a ram's head as it slams (hit:32,damage:14) into the statue's chest.

Tratain fights defensively in order to hopefully keep the statues from hitting him again, he also uses his Protector ability to defend those near him.

The loss of blood is starting to wear on Aramis, but he knows he still has some fight in him. Aramis moves to assist Tratain casting Stoneskin and Haste on him.
Aramis OoC Wednesday July 30th, 2003 2:34:44 PM

OOC:Sly two attack AC 32/AC 32 - Damages (hopefully) 10+9= 19hp.
Sly take Tartain advice and stands next to him. Now that he fell berter. He bats awy at that Devil's Statue like there's not tomorow, in fact if they dont stop this thing, They'll will be NO Tomorow.
Appolo Hp:76 Ac:27 Wednesday July 30th, 2003 5:39:03 PM
Appolo is exhausted after carrying Tratin fron the room he stands slightly to the side drinking some water. When Trataim is ready Appolo follows close behind him.

Lorth takes the full brunt of the statues attack as it's powerful stab slips through his defenses. (OOC: My AC was 34 at the time the statue attacked, now it is 43, so I am taking the 40 critical damage.) Lorth falls to one knee and blood pours from the gaping wound as the statue retracts it's spear. It then attacks a third time, but Lorth manages to bat that attack aside and respond with some of his own. (OOC: Using Tratain's Warhammer now.)(Hit:25/25/22 Damage: 11/9/9))
Dylan: AC 29 : Barkskin 2d8(1+8)+10=19 d8=1 d8=5 Thursday July 31st, 2003 9:13:36 AM
Dylan seeing that Lorth drops to one knee quickly stepps forward and cast from his wand again, healing Lorth for 23 points of damage, "Call out for healing if you need it," Dylans voice carries of the din of battle.
Ceira AC 21 (Improved Invisibility 3 of 100) 2d8(6+1)+10=17 Thursday July 31st, 2003 9:45:53 AM
Ceira follows Dylan's lead moves over to heal Lorth for 17hps.

Aramis steps back, no need for Lorth and Tratain to have to worry about him as they go about their business. He looks about for his club and if reasonable will go retreive it and return. Either way the 2 previous wounds contine to bleed out his life. Looking to Dylan, "I beleive I'll take you on that offer."

Tratain, Sly and Lorth form a fighting force near the door to the blood room. Tratian gives aid while Sly and Lorth deal with Devil Statue (d). Tratian smiles as his spiritual warhammer continues it's attack on Devil Statue (c).
Aramis steps in behind the group and casts stoneskin on Tratian and then haste on Lorth. Support will be his bread and butter this time.
Appolo thankful for the healing takes time to get himself a drink of water and thank his blessing. He stays behind the group, ready to help if needed.
Dylan steps forward and hits Lorth with a shot of healing to bolster the man.
Ceira follows Dylan's lead, but unseen, to hit Lorth with some more healing...making the young man feel better yet.
Devil Statue (b) goes down under the combined assaults of the elf leader and the elven priest. It lets out a primal scream as it hits the ground and shatters into rubble.
Devil Statue (c) trys to keep up with the pair of dancing elves but it is no good and with all the damage that it has sustained it cannot continue. It topples over the side of the hole, never to be seen again.
Devil Statue (d) can feel its hold on life slowly slipping away. It makes one last attempt to take someone with it. It brings it's spear spearing (hit:21/24/17,damage:16/17/18) in at Sly as it lets out a howl of rage.
The group of elves reform up near the hole as one of their own number slumps to the floor. His warhammer clatters to the ground and he falls face forward. The priest is the first to get to him and he drops to his knees cradling the elf's head in his lap. With a look to the leader he shakes his head in a silent...it is too late.
Sly Foxx Thursday July 31st, 2003 2:31:09 PM
Sly tries to move out of the way, But he mad that devil a litt6le too angry. He'll push Tartain and any body else thats near out of the way and takes all the damages. He falls dead (at least unconscious -7).

Aramis grabs the club as Sly hits the ground and attempts to put an end to the creature that fell him. [ac 35/20 for 17/17 dmg] "Dylan! Tend Sly. remember those spears of theirs magically cause blood loss so don't wuss around and use a real spell"

Seeing Sly fall Tratain defensivly casts Cure Critical Wounds on him,(Healed Sly for 24) and then continues his attack on the Statue while still defending his allies near him.
+5 AC to those near me.
Edge, AC 27 d20+16=21 d20+16=22 d6+5=6 Thursday July 31st, 2003 8:30:28 PM
Edge makes his way back to the room and attacks statue d with a +4 light mace.
" I feel useless, but I can't just watch you guys fight. "
(hit ac 21. roll of 22 was accident. 6 points damage if it hit.)
Dylan: AC 29 : Barkskin 2d8(6+7)+10=23 Friday August 1st, 2003 5:21:20 AM
"The way I was instructed in healing all magical forms of healing could stop bleeding, however none of my spells see to do that at this moment. Perhaps because of teh location we are in." Dylan r eaches out and casts yet again from the wand, hitting Sly for 23 points of healing.

Ceira 2d8(3+8)+10=21 Friday August 1st, 2003 10:39:12 AM
A voice emanates out of thin air "Sly!!! Healing's becoming a full time job here!"
Ceira rushes over to Sly and also heals him with her wand for 21hp.
Devil Statue Combat Round Seven Aftermath. (DM Jim) Friday August 1st, 2003 12:55:55 PM
Sly goes down under the last furious assault of Devil Statue (d), but is not dead.
Aramis steps in and picks back up his club that Sly dropped and brings it in with a fury of his own.
Tratain makes his own set of hammer blows on the statue as well.
Adding injury to insult Edge charges in and slams into the statue with his own mace.
Ceira and Dylan both step forward to heal Sly, getting him back on his feet.
Devil Statue (d) crumbles under he combined assaults of the enraged group never to get up again.
The elves start walking in you direction. The fighter has picked up his comrade and is carrying his dead body. The leader is out in front of his remaining group with the cleric slightly beside him. The leader and cleric stop near the group, but the other fighter continues on under instructions. The leader smiles a little as he looks upon the group with admiration. "I am glad that we made it in time. Is there anything that we can do for your group? We owe you much for if you had retreated surely we would have died." He bows to the group, low and long, in respect. The cleric inclines his head to the group and waits to see what they may ask or request.

As teh elves approach Aramis looks in the last direction he heard Ceira's voice, "I believe they wish to speak to you." Aramis steps back a pace with wobbling legs and acknowlegdes the leader with a nod of his own. "Never gave it thought."
Edge, AC 27 Friday August 1st, 2003 8:23:18 PM
"I'm just glad we're alive. "
Sly Foxx Saturday August 2nd, 2003 7:53:41 AM
"ohhhh! OHhhh! Where am I?" Sly tries to get up but fails. With the help of the group, it does not take long to get him back to full health. "Thank guys and of course Leader Ceira" Sly smiles at the group telling them "Next time we go adventuring, remind me to take a six foot lenth of chain for Golems." Now he make it all the way onto his feet.
Tratain; Bleeding 3 per round Saturday August 2nd, 2003 2:22:59 PM
Tratain Deactivates his boots of Speed and goes to speak with the Elves. He says "I don't think you really owe us anything, we would have been killed as well probably, or at least forced out of here if you had not shown up. You wouldn't happen to know of any way we could stop this blasted bleeding, our normal healing isn't doing the trick it seems. I think we would also like to know how is it that you all came to be in here, and any information you may have about what we can expect further on if we continue. These 4 golems were beyond us, if we can expect opponents stronger than these further in, it will just lead to our deaths for nothing, and while it galls me to have to retreat, we may have no choice."
Tratain also says to Apollo "Thank you for pulling me away from those Golems, I was not prepared for the Savegery of thier attack, I would say I would like to repay you in kind for the deed, but I honestly hope we don't encounter a situation where I would have the chance."
Appolo Hp:76 AC 27 Sunday August 3rd, 2003 3:04:36 AM
Appolo nods at Tratain"Yes I would also like to aviod sua situation."He then turns to the elves"My friend is right until you arrived we were beaten and in retreat.I don't think it is possible for us to accomplish the mission.It may very well be beyond our capabilities to do so."
Lorth AC 34 (STONESKIN 72 HP) (Magic Vestment +3 AC) (Bleeding 1 per round) Monday August 4th, 2003 7:32:29 AM
Lorth sits down and rests. He uses lay on hands on himself for 1 point, testing to see if it will stop the bleeding. (OOC: What level healing is my lay on hands ability? In short, would it stop the bleeding.)
Elves and Help for Those in Need. (DM Jim) Monday August 4th, 2003 12:43:38 PM
The elf captain smiles some at your words. "Then our timing was fortunate for us both." With a nod to the cleric that stayed behind he gestures to the group. The cleric steps forward and pulls a paste out of pouch at his side with a dagger. "This will stop the bleeding, but will do nothing to heal your wounds." With a glance to each of you he sighs. "I have access to two healing spells for you if you have need. I can also set up an area here that you could rest in without being bothered." He moves around applying the past to the wounds inflicted by the Devil Statues.
The captain comes back to the questions at hand. "I cannot really tell you what to expect as this place changes every time someone new comes in. Our start on the quest to save our princesses did not lead us to these Devil Statues but a couple of giants." He looks on with shock as you talk of turning around and leaving. "You would leave this place...just to save your own hides while you still have the numbers."
The cleric and captain look on at you for several minutes before coming to a decision. "We will offer what little help we can...these items we found and would like you to put to good use." They hold out some potions and a magical warhammer. "These items we offer freely...but on the condition that you agree to continue this quest."
[Lorth's lay on hands heals one hit point but did not stop the bleeding.]
Ceira Monday August 4th, 2003 12:45:19 PM
Ceira pats Sly on the back. "You're going to be okay now."
She utters a command word to deactivate her Improved Invisibility spell and walks forward to greet the elves. Ceira bows as best as a liontaur can manage. "What Tratain says is correct. Through our combined teamwork, we managed to survive this incident so you need not owe us anything." She looks at their slain comrade. "I am sorry about your friend. How deadly are his wounds? Is there anything we can do with our wands of Cure Moderate Wounds?"
"From where do you hail? Your sudden appearance was a bit of a surprise to us... a welcome surprise none-the-less. We have been given a quest from an elf known as Ambassador... ummm...Ambassador..." Ceira pauses for a few moments to recollect the name. "Erion! Yes, Ambassador Erion. He showed us disturbing images of your elven princesses chained as prisoners of the evil Lord of Disease. Are you aware of the dire situation at hand? Especially of the new magical wasting disease that now plagues your people? We are here to help so any information you can provide would be welcome. If you feel inclined, your aid in combat would also be welcomed."
Ceira d20+4=17 Monday August 4th, 2003 12:57:46 PM
[OOC: Whoa... bad timing. My previous post was supposed be minutes before Jim's next post. It was sent while I was writing mine. :( Here's the follow-up...]
"Hold on now." Ceira motions to the elven leader, "That was just an audible strategy to relay to the statues to perhaps deter them from chasing us while we regrouped in the adjacent room." She turns back towards her comrades and gives a wink. [OOC: Bluff=17]
"Danger or not, we still intend to finish this quest. So you need not relinquish items necessary for your own survival. However, if you can truly part with these, then we thank you immensely."
Tratain 2d8(8+8)+3=19 d4+1=3 d4+1=5 Monday August 4th, 2003 1:16:17 PM
Tratain Says to the Elves "I did not say that we plan to stop here, it's just that we may be forced to stop. I for one plan to continue onwards until We have rescued the Princeses or until we run into something so tough we can not win past. Until you came up from the hole that place was here in this room, but we are past it now and hopefully there will not be a concentration of our enemies as powerful as these statues were."
"How are you able to create a place for us to rest in peace? Now that the bleeding has stopped I am ready to continue onward again, if everyone else is we should head down to the next floor. Also if it is something you can give us it would be better so that we are not forced to relinquish ground we have won from the Devil's in order to come back to this room to rest."
Tratain then Heals himself with the Wand and some of his Minor spells and then casts Bull's Strength and Endurence Upon himself. (+3 Str, +5 Con)
"Shall we continue on now? Or do we need to rest? I for one am ready to press forward, what about the rest of you?"
Lorth AC 34 (STONESKIN 72 HP) (Magic Vestment +3 AC) Monday August 4th, 2003 2:20:03 PM
"Thanks for you timely help friends. I am ready to go on."

While applying the paste to his two wounds, Aramis cocks his head to one side, "Leave this fun filled fantasy?" Then, gesturing his arms about him and turning in a small circle. "I can't imagine why any creature would wish to. I guess that would depend on who's life they found more value in." To the others "Press on is fine, but I could use someone's healing talents here."
Edge Monday August 4th, 2003 3:55:30 PM
"Yes, Lets press on. Who wants to live forever? "
Sly Foxx Monday August 4th, 2003 8:37:19 PM
"Ahh! Yes let's press on," Sly chockles Then put am arm around Edge shoulders "He He I seem to have heard that phrase before, But I don't remember where."
Dylan: AC 29 : Barkskin 2d8(7+8)+5=20 Tuesday August 5th, 2003 9:01:31 AM
Dylan quietly listens to the elves then slides over to Aramis and zaps him with the cure moderate wand healing the young mage for 20 points of damage. "Leave? We rescue a princess first just like we agreed. Right? I dont think we were actually thinking about running."
Down the Hole and Downward Onward. (DM Jim) Tuesday August 5th, 2003 12:58:00 PM
the captain of the elves shakes his head and turns to Ceira. "He is beyond help for now...we must get him back to our village to get him brought back...if he is willing to return." Nodding to the other question posed to them he speaks. "That is the reason that we are here...to save our princesses, but we have no choice to leave mission unfinished." The two elves watch as you descend into the hole. "We are sorry that we cannot help you any further...best of wishes to you all."
The decent is a long one and your already tired muscles complain on the climb down (climb check DC 15). When you reach the bottom, one way or the other, you notice that this room is filled with a haziness. You see images dancing in the haze; some are of a elven maiden beckoning you to her, another of a bunch of bugs swarming over a dead body, an image of a group of shades come screaming at you, and the images of all you laying dead on the ground (willpower DC 20 versus first image*females unaffected*, fear DC 20 versus the last images).

Aramis will allow a couple fighter types and Rogue types to descend before him. Then grabbing the rope, [10] he tires and plunges to a horrible and painful fate. The only words one might hear as he slips is a mumbled "Freakin typical" If he manages to survive, he heads for the maidens [9] "See now that wasn't such a chore!" ignoring the demon trick of his death [26]
Sly Foxx d20+6=23 d20+7=21 d20+3=18 Tuesday August 5th, 2003 2:54:10 PM
Sly watches the elves as they ask us to save their Princess, then peeks into the hole in the floor. "It' really dark down there. Are these ropes tied well? I'll go down and meet you down there." Sly ties the rope around his waist for safty and climbs down in to this weirs mist like room {Climb= 23}.
When he hit the floor and unties the rope from his waist, he sees a elven females enticing him to come to them. He want to BUT know better to go off by himself {21}, the scene changes to a bunch of bugs swaming over a dead body, if the first was image so is the second. But the third image of all of people in the party laying there dead and Shades screeming{18}, is too much for Sly. He screem and covers his eyes "EEEEEEEEK! NO! NO!"

Tratain Manages to climb down the Rope without falling off. At the Bottom he looks around to see whatever he can see (8 Spot).
Tratain Manages to shrug off the effects of the Mind attack and Fear attack. (Rolled 28 and 32 vs. DC's 20 and 20)
Tratain then says "No one go off into the mists on your own, it is probably a trap" Tratain will then attempt to prevent anyone from running in fear or heading off after the elven maidens which probably aren't really elven at all.
Tratain Continued d20+12=30 Tuesday August 5th, 2003 5:44:57 PM OOC: I think I might have missed a save, I thought there was only two, here's the third incase its needed. Also add +4 to the saves from being in close proximity to Lorth.

Dylan attmepts to gracefully swing doen the rope but all he manages to do is a belly flop onto teh floor below, curling up into a ball until the pain subsides the man sppears to be losing it. Dylan slowly stands up shaking off both images and zaps himself with his wand haeling 10 points of damage.
Lorth AC 34 (STONESKIN 72 HP) (Magic Vestment +3 AC) d20+2=3 Wednesday August 6th, 2003 11:44:08 AM
Lorth eyes the rope. Well we are going to be here a while. He begins to take off his full plate armor... (OOC: When I get my armor off, I tie it up with my rope, hang it off my back, and then proceed down the rope. CLIMB CHECK: 3 (Hah, I fell anyway)) ...Lorth lowers himself over the edge and instantly loses his grip on the rope and falls...
Appolo Hps 76 Ac:27 d20+4=11 d20+4=21 d20+10=26 Wednesday August 6th, 2003 12:04:56 PM
Appolo follows the others and heads down the rope."You know whatever's waiting for us is going to be tougher then those statues." He says as he makes his dissent. Appolo looks around and sees the elven females and thinks that one is Valanthe the love of his life and is immediately drawn toward them." Hey look elves." he walks quickly toward the women. He is uneffected by the other images.

Aramis, Dylan and Lorth start to go down the rope when the loss their grips and start falling. They grab frantically for anything that will stop thier fall and save them (1st-climb DC 17 to stop yourself, 2nd-climb DC 19 to stop yourself or you fall the whole ways).
The others look around the room and see the different images before them, floating in the mist. Sly falls victim to the images of death and cowers in a corner screaming. Appolo sees the elven maidens and thinks that he recognizes one. He walks towards her with a silly grin on his face. The others are unaffected by what they see or have not gotten down yet to see it.
Appolo is pounced head on by a hazy outline that slams him full in the chest, racking with claws (hit:27/34, damage:7/9, rake:5). Both claws hit and it latches onto your chest, raking you with back claws.
Tratain is slammed from behind by another hazy attacker that claws him across the back (hit:23/20, damage:11/7, rake:5). You feels the claws latch onto your back and the racking begin from the unseen attacker.
The images in the haze change to dripping blood that runs down walls and everything. It also forms the laughing head of a demon. You see flames shooting up out of the floor, ceiling and walls.
[note that this first attack is flat-footed so no dexterity bonus unless you have uncanny dodge or some other way to keep you dexterity bonus, back attacks would also eliminate your shield bonus as well]
[no new saves need to be made for anyone that passed, anyone that did not pass will need to make another save, Appolo does not need to do this as he was attacked and can disbelieve the images]
Flat-top Wednesday August 6th, 2003 2:03:09 PM
OOC: I don't know when to stop screeming?
Sly yells "NOOO! It' Comming TRUE! EEEEEeeee! Ceira Help Me!" still covering his head.

OoC I think this will be correct
Aramis's mind races as he falls, how to get out of this. His hands grab for the rope [16], the sides anything [22] and at the last minute he succeeds. Dangling for a minute, he takes a few deep breaths and then finishes the descent. At the bottom, [27] Aramis shakes the elven maiden away, "You are but a lie, like my own mother." Upon closer proximatey to the image of his own death and recent fall which could have very well killed him [15], Aramis breaks down.
Lorth AC 23 (STONESKIN 72 HP) (Magic Vestment +3 AC) d20+2=18 d20+10=30 Wednesday August 6th, 2003 2:32:49 PM
Lorth attempts to arrest his fall... (Made DC 18) ... and he does. "Whew that was close." He then continues his decent. Lorth gives the elven females barely a glance. (Check DC 30) And the ghastly images don't phase him at all.
(OOC: If Lorth sees the fighting he draws his sword and wades in, if not he stops to put on his armor.)
Ceira Wednesday August 6th, 2003 5:21:32 PM
Although Ceira is an awkward shape for a liontaur to climb down a rope, her cat-like reflexes allow her to gracefully descent down using all four paws and her two hands. [Climb=17]
When she arrives, Ceira sees many disturbing images that envelop the group. Familiar with illusions, she is unaffected by the trickery. [Will=27]
"Is everyone okay? Say something to acknowledge me." Ceira will target those who do not acknowledge and move over to tickle their nose with her tail. If that won't work, she will grab them and shake vigorously.
[This post was made by DM Jim. Ceira's players has lost access to this tapestry for a few and I am trying to get that remedied ASAP. I maybe posting for Ceira for awhile, but they will all be posts emailed to me and not my own. Just a warning for all of you.]

Dylan misses in a wild frantic ballet and falls straight down to lie on the floor. Attempting to move the druid merely removes his wand and casts cure moderate on himself curing 19 points of damage.

All of you make it down safely but Dylan, who falls the whole way down (damage:47). The rest of you spread out a little as you watch Appolo and Tratain get attacked by something.
The torches flicker from their places on the walls and the illusions continue. Most of you are unaffected by this bought of tricks now, but they are distracting. Only Sly is still under thier affect and is still cowering in a corner.
Hazy(a) continues it's attack on Appolo raking with it's hind claws (hit:13,damage:15).
Hazy(b) continues it's attack on Tratain raking with it's hind claws (hit:16,damage:11) as well.
Hazy(c) pounces on Ceira hiting with a pair of claws (hit:36*critical26*/22,damage:12*critical24*/7)and then bringing it back claws in to rake (damage:7) at her.
Tratain shakes off the Hazy(b) and his cloak allows him to slip out of the things attack.
Appolo actions to be added later.
As you watch the room you will notice (spot DC 20) three more hazy outlines that fit the three that have attacked. If not you are unaware of the other three outlines and only by someone that sees them pointing them out to you will you notice.

Tratain Shakes off the Creature and then swings his Warhammer at it attempting to finish it off before it can latch onto him again (Hit AC 31 and 30 for 11 and 12 Damage)
Out of the Corner of his eye he notices the other 3 figures and points them out to his comrades while shifting position a little to deny his back to the three new ones.

Aramis [11] doesn't notice the other shapes, but clearly sees the one attacking Ceira. With the snap of his hand five green flickering daggers leap from him to unerringly strike the creature. [magic missile beat SR22 for 18 Dmg]

Lorth forgoes his armor and runs to help Ceira. When he crosses the distance he uses his longsword to attack the hazy outline... (spot: 2) ...he does not notice the other three hazy outlines. (Hit 27 Damage 12)

Reeling from the attack, Ceira's vision is momentarily blinded by the blood dripping down her face. Thus, she is unaware of the three other figures [Spot=15].
She tries to wriggle free but is unable [Escape Artist=8].
Instead, Ceira will stand on hind legs and try to swat the thing off with both of her own claws [Hit:14,18 for Damage: 5,3]

Tratain strikes are true as he sees the appearance of blood on the creature that he hit. Though he had hoped that it would be enough to drop the creature it still retains it's footing.
Seeing the plight of their leader, Aramis sends forth a flurry of magic missiles that cannot go wrong. Each on slams into the Hazy(c) on her back.
Sly's mind is still trying to cope with everything that he has seen, but fails to grasp it this time around. He jumps up to run away but ends up hitting the rough wall and knocking himself silly (damage:5,fort DC 14 or be knocked out for 3 posts).
Dropping his armor to the floor, Lorth charges into the Hazy(c) that is attacking Ceira. His longsword draws blood on the creature and it howls in rage.
Ceira's attempts to dislodge her opponent is unsuccessful as she cannot seem to get a good shot at it. Having gotten on her back the way it is she cannot reach it too well and desperately hopes that her companions can get it off.
Appolo and Dylan's actions to be inserted here.
Hazy(a) is still attached to Appolo.*will update when he posts*
Hazy(b) slowly backs away from Tratain leaving a trail of blood on the floor. It seems to not want anymore of this fight.
Hazy(c) rakes it's back claws down Ceira's back with a furry (hit:16,damage:10).
Hazy(d) moves in to block off Tratain from following after it's packmate. Rearing up a little it takes a pair of swipes at him with claws (hit:31/19*missed-displacement*,damage:8/10).
Hazy(e) moves in on the other side of Tratain to help in cutting him off. It also rears up and swipes at him with it's claws (hit:29/18*miss-displacement*,damage:12/7).
Hazy(f) moves in to attack the most unarmored party member. Lorth sees the outline of claws (hit:32/24,damage:9/8) as they come roaring in at him.
[Dylan and Appolo can make an extra move in thier next post so that I can update for the last turn, plus have one for this post. Sly can make a Willpower DC 16 to shake off the affects of the images he has seen.]

Aramis sends forth another barrage, continuing to pound Ceira's assailant Hazy (c). Then moves to a flanking postion with Tratain on Hazy (e)[Dmg 10] OoC 10?

Dylan stands and moves slowly towards Ceira, "Careful there Ceira,"Dylan rasps his concentration on the wemic precludes him noticing the other hazy outlines. Dylan the reaches out and casts cure moderate wounds on the wemic from hi swand, "Darned thing, good thing I picked it up." Healing Ceira for 17 points fo damage.

When Appolo is attacked it still takes him acouple of minutes to realize what just happenned,thankfully the creatures second attack misses. Once he comes around Appolo produces bothe his short swords and slices vicisously at the creature twice."Is this the best you got.You son of a sea hag !!" He yells at the demon head.

Lorth gets hit twice by the hazy creature, but the claws don't seem to penetrate his skin, as his stoneskin spell stops them. (17 points to my stoneskin) Lorth continues to attack the creature that is attacking Ceira... ignoring the one that tried to intercept him. (Hit: 26/27 Damage: 16/13)

Aramis fires off a round of magic missiles at hazy(c). Each one connects but he does not feel the flow of magic like he is use too.
Dylan moves in and heals Ceira, very glad now that he took a cureing wand with him.
Appolo comes around after the initial attack and throws the hazy(a) off him. Pulling both of his shortswords he drives them home in the creature.
Sly finds himself on the floor watching the pretty birdies in his head flying around. Everyone else hears a moan that signals that he is still alive.
Emailed Edge as he requested and now waiting for a reply. Will see what the tapestry has woven for Edge as we go along.
Lorth continues his assault on the hazy(c) that is attacking Ceira. He smiles with satisfaction when his attacks connect and send the hazy to the ground.
Tratain finds himself with two choices, but decides to attack hazy(e). He has noticed that Aramis has moved to flank that particular hazy.
Ceira's post to be inserted here as the tapestry weaves itself.
Hazy(a) takes a double swat at Appolo with it's front paws (hit:17/23,damage:9/10).
Hazy(b) slides back into the images that still flood the room and is soon lost (spot DC 16 to see).
Hazy(c)slowly gets back up off the floor and looks around. With a roar of rage it throws itself at Dylan (hit:33/32,damage:12/12).
Hazy(d)lunges at Tratian with both sets of claws leading the way (hit:31/23,damage:12/12).
Hazy(e) makes no notice of Aramis as he moves in to flank him. Hazy(e) throws slaps at Tratain with both claws (hit:32/17,damage:10/9).
Hazy(f) continues it's assault on Lorth, trying to break through his defenses. Both of it's claws had come up with no blood and that was very displeasing (hit:26/20,damage:12/7).
[I am still in need of a double attack post from Dylan and Appolo with thier next post. That will be thier attack for combat round 2 and another one for combat round 1. Email me if you don't understand, jade_dragon_1974@yahoo.com, why.]
[I will also be looking for double attacks from Ceira as well.]
Sly Foxx Monday August 11th, 2003 2:54:53 PM
You see Sly has spittle runing down from his mouth, "MOOOAAANNN!" What he sees in his mind eye are cute Medium size Blue birds going "Twetty! twet twet!"

Aramis takes full advantage of the creature not paying him any heed and brandishes his club across its backside. "You just continue looking the other way sunshine." [Hit AC 34 Dmg 15]

Lorth groans as the Hazy(f) breaks through his stoneskin. A small line of blood can be seen on his arm. (10 to the stoneskin, 2 to Lorth). But that doesn't deter Lorth from continuing to attack Hazy(c) (The one I knocked to the ground last round). Lorth concentrates and focus's his will, "You die now foul creature, he says under his breath." (Smite evil +20 to hit + 10 damage.) (Hit: 23/26 Damage: 21/9)
Ceira 2d8(5+7)+3=15 2d8(6+8)+3=17 Tuesday August 12th, 2003 10:34:32 AM
[Combat One:] Unable to reach Haze(c), Ceira pulls out her wand and reaches over to heal Lorth for 15hp.
[Combat Two:] After Lorth connects with his blow, Ceira is relieved of the pesky creature. "Thanks Lorth."
This time, she reaches over to heal Dylan for 17hp. She manages a smile even in the chaos of battle.

Tratain continues attacking Hazy(e) hopeing to kill it (Hit AC 35 and 29 for 13 and 15 Damage, if Aramis or the First attack kill the Hazy then Tratain hits the other Hazy attacking him)
Tratain is able to keep track of the Wounded Hazy and keeps his eye on it for later (Spot 24)

Sly lays on the floor and moans while watching the little birdies.
Aramis slams his club into hazy(e)'s backside as it contiues it's attacks on Tratain. He feels the solid impact of his club with the creature.
Lorth takes the attacks and feels warm blood flow from some small scratches. He presses on and attacks hazy(c). His sword cuts deep and he is sprayed with blood.
Ceira delivers healing to first Lorth and then to Dylan. She gives a weak smile to both for the healing and for getting the beast off her back.
Tratain brings his weapon to impact on hazy(e) so that he can try and take it out with Aramis's help. He keeps an eye on hazy(b) to check on it's movements.
Hazy(a) continues it's assault of Appolo, swatting at him with both claws (hit:34/33,damage:8/8).
Hazy(b) slowly circles as he looks for an opening in someone's defenses.
Hazy(c) drops to the floor dead from the last attacks of Lorth. Blood quickly pools under him but the things form is still not easily seen.
Hazy(d) seeing one of it's own go down renews it's attack on Tratain. Both claws seem to come in harder and faster than before (hit:17/18,damage:12/8).
Hazy(e) falls under the combined attacks of Tratain and Aramis.
Hazy(f) leaps at Lorth with claws forward. It tries to latch onto him with it's front paws so that it can rake him (hit:18/22,damage:7/12,rake:7*if both claws hit*).

"That makes one! Nice moves Tratain." Aramis moves to flank Hazy(d) with Tratain. "And now for you, ya little..." He trails off into a grunt as he brings his magical club around [Hit 28 Dmg 14]

Lorth's wounds close up from Ceira's kind use of her wand. He spins at the last second to see Hazy(f) try to disembowl him and just manages to dodge it's attacks. Catching his breath, he moves into a fighting stance with hazy(f) and starts to square off. He concentrates his attacks high and tries to catch the thing in the neck... (Hit: 35(Crit confirm 21)/13 Damage: 14 +16 if I hit the crit/10)

Sly slowly starts coming around. He moans and sits up holding his head, looking around.
Aramis and Tratain once again pair thier attacks to hit hazy(d). It staggers under he combined assault but does not go down.
Appolo's flurry of blows is enough to silence his attacker for good. He looks around and notices that everyone seems to be doing fine.
Dylan takes the time to hit Lorth with a barkskin and then some healing right afterwards.
Lorth twists out of the path of the claws and brings himself back on the attack. He gets two good solid hits on the monster, one seemed to have more power behind it than the other.
Hazy(a) falls over dead from the blows received from Appolo.
Hazy(b) sees an opening in Aramis's defenses and makes a lunge for him (hit:33/34,damage:9/10,rake:6*if both claw attacks hit*).
Hazy(d) turns thinking that Aramis looks the easier target and attacks him with a pair of claws (hit:36*critical confirm 29*/34,damage:9*critical 18*/12).
Hazy(f) throws itself at Lorth intending to try and rake him besides clawing him (hit:26/19,damage:7/12).

The first creature assaults Aramis claws ripping and tearing to only illicit a chuckle from the arcane protected man. "Tsk tsk tsk. Such a display little one." he smiles. Thinking this to be great fun until a stinging pain comes from his calf and thigh, as the second creature penetrates the magical defenses and leaves two viscious rips. "Ahhhh! Little vermin!" Aramis whirls on his left leg, as the pain causes his right to buckle, striking at Hazy(d) wildly. [hit 31 dmg 14]

Hazy(f) manages to connect with Lorth, but Lorth's magical protections absorb the blow. He then throws his shield far out to feint off balance and then quickly recovers to strike twice more at the creature.

Hazy Combat End. (DM Jim) Thursday August 14th, 2003 12:40:41 PM
Ceira goes invisible once again seeing the need to stay mobile for healing.
Sly shakily makes it to his feet, holding his head. He gives a disheartened smile to the others and rubs the bump on his head gently.
Aramis takes the first series of blows from hazy(d) like it was a love tap and laughs. Then he feels the pricks from the claws of hazy(b) as it hits hit and he is no longer happy. Whirling he hits hazy(d) with his club and just barely keeps his balance.
Appolo is able to make a move in behind hazy(b) as it attacks Aramis. His sword bites deep and drops hazy(b) with the single blow.
Seeing Appolo stagger under all the punishment that he has taken, Dylan makes his way towards him. He taps him with a cure spells and then watches over him.
The creature goes down under Lorth's first attack, but he is not happy with that and stabs the creature again. He takes the time to glance around and notices that only one creature still stands that he can see.
Tratain brings his hammer crashing into hazy(d)'s skull and drops it with the single blow. Seconds before it would fall lifeless to the ground, Edge sneaks in behind it and drives his own sword into the beast.
Hazy(a,b,c,d,e,f) are all dead.
The room still has images flashing in the mist that fills the room, but they are of little effect now. Straight ahead is a large wooden door bound with iron bars.
Aramis AC 18 [Cat's Grace +5 Dex, Endurance +3 Con, Potion +2 Cha, Stoneskin 35HP, Bull Str +5] Thursday August 14th, 2003 1:53:44 PM Pant "See" small gasp "That wasn't so hard." Aramis limps to the wall and sits down gingerly looking over his wounded leg. "Yea, that's probably gonna scar." he mutters to himself. "Any of you cleric types got a spare minute," gesturing to his leg.
Sly Foxx Friday August 15th, 2003 12:06:18 AM
Sly tell eery body "I don't know what happen to me. I came down the rope and look into the mist, There you all were with your head chop off and all gizzards hanging out, even me. then the wall hit me and I don't remember anything. Did I miss the skermish?"
Lorth AC 24 (STONESKIN 38 HP) (Magic Vestment +3 AC) (BARKSKIN +4 AC) Friday August 15th, 2003 1:52:16 PM
Lorth cleans his sword and then heads over to where he dropped his armor. He immediatly begins to put it back on. "Anyone know what those things where? I've never seen something like that."
Appolo Hp:76/51 Friday August 15th, 2003 6:30:11 PM
Appolo looks at Dylan"Thank you my friend." He looks exhausted as cleans his weapons,then steps over to help Lorth put on his armour"No I've never seen them before either,just little nasties that had to put down.Would you like some help?" If Lorth says yes he will help with the armour then say"I think we should rest here before moving on we're all a little busted up and our priests and mages need time to recharge thier magic." After helping lorth Appolo walks around helps any that need it saying to Sly"Na you didn't miss much,just a minor disagreement about the decor." With a smile.
Edge Friday August 15th, 2003 7:03:13 PM
" Alright guys, the blood and gore has gotten me all confused. I think my head is a bit cleared up now though. "
Dylan Swiftedge Monday August 18th, 2003 10:00:58 AM
Dylan sigh as the combat ends, "Whos hurt?" the druid says the slight pep in his voice sounding contrived. "Who else needs a bit of natures love?"
Aramis AC 18 [Cat's Grace +5 Dex, Endurance +3 Con, Potion +2 Cha, Stoneskin 35HP, Bull Str +5] Monday August 18th, 2003 11:14:46 AM
"Dylan, life long pal and chum. A little love of nature would suit me well." Turning to the rest, "I got lots of juice left so don't worry bout me. If we rest though, shouldn't it be up there,' pointing up the hole, 'where the elves said it would be safe?"
Decisions. (DM Jim) Monday August 18th, 2003 4:39:09 PM
The hardwwod iron bound door leads on further into the labyrinth. The rope still hangs from above were you left it.
The elves did set up the spot up above if you want to use it.
[Sorry about the slowness of this. Life sent me a loop that I needed to deal with.]
Ceira [Invisible 1hr-40min] 2d8(6+5)+3=14 Monday August 18th, 2003 9:45:25 PM
Ceira shuffles over to Aramis and also taps him with her wand for 14hp of healing. Her voice suddenly emerges in thin air. "How is everyone else doing? Should we rest or move on after healing? Time is of the essence so I would like to press on. I have no interest on having more of those hazy creatures emerge out of nowhere."
[OOC: Ceira will heal anyone else who asks for healing]
Appolo Hp:76/51 Ac:27 Tuesday August 19th, 2003 2:14:23 AM
Appolo looks around"Well I could use quite a bit of healing.Ceira is our chosen leader so it is her decision weather or not to press on,rememember this will probably get harder as we go. So Ceira,do we stay or go forward?"He then coughs up some blood it is obvious that he still has some internal bleeding.
Sly Foxx Tuesday August 19th, 2003 3:35:26 AM
"If you could spare a little healing for this halfelf, Please? I have a bump on my fore head and a bloody nose." ask Sly "Your the leader, Ceira, If you say we go on then I'm with you."
Lorth Tuesday August 19th, 2003 7:37:46 AM
Lorth thanks Appolo for helping him put on his armor. He double checks his straps and decides everything is in the right place. "I'm all for pressing on if Ceira makes that decision."
Dylan Swiftedge Tuesday August 19th, 2003 9:16:17 AM
Dylan looks towards the nothingness that Ceirs voice springs from and shakes his head,"I agree we should go on, if only to quicken our departure from this place."
Aramis AC 18 [Cat's Grace +5 Dex, Endurance +3 Con, Potion +2 Cha, Stoneskin 35HP, Bull Str +5] Tuesday August 19th, 2003 9:26:15 AM
"I say move on. I really do not feel like testing my luck resting down here, or my muscle in climbing up, or my agility during the inevitable plummet back down."
The Power of Leadership. (DM Jim) Tuesday August 19th, 2003 2:34:31 PM
You argue over the two options that you see open to you at this time. Just to make it nice you lay the ultimate decision on your leaders shoulders.
Keep going on? or Go back up and rest up for awhile?
Sometimes it is great to be the leader Ceira thinks and then there is now.
Edge Tuesday August 19th, 2003 3:39:03 PM
"Do we have any casters who require rest for magic? Time is important, but so is survival. We need to be prepared. I think we all know this place is going to be one life-threatening event after another. I have stated my concerns and will now fully support whatever decision you make, Ceira."
Sly Foxx Tuesday August 19th, 2003 8:04:23 PM
"Ceira, Ihad faith in you back then and I have Faith in you now! You give the word and I do my best, well I'l try not to run into walls anyway." Sly said as he rubs his nose.
Dylan Swiftedge Wednesday August 20th, 2003 9:31:47 AM
Dylan looks at teh battered party, "I still say we need to move on, the sooner we finish our mission the better."
Ceira [Invisible 1hr-39min] 2d8(5+4)+3=12 Wednesday August 20th, 2003 11:12:29 AM
Ceira smiles warmly at the group even though they cannot see her. "Sorry for not revealing myself during this discussion but I feel that we need to move on and I want to carry this spell over to the next obstacle."
"Thank you all for your trust in me. The desire to rest can certainly make our next obstacle easier. But a man named Dr. Rudolf Van Richten once said, 'The fight against creatures of darkness is a difficult, and often painful one! But it is a good fight, and one that must be fought.'" Ceira pauses to let the words sink in. "These are the words that drive me to continue charging forward. If we can pull away from this as the victors, then this is the stuff that heroes are made of."
"Let us heal everyone up before we move on and while we do this, let's check the next door for any traps. The deeper we get, the more deadlier the traps get." Ceira walks over to Appolo and taps him with her wand to heal him for 12hps.
Tratain Wednesday August 20th, 2003 11:39:15 AM
Tratain says "I am ready to move on, I still have the majority of my spells available. Does anyone still require any healing?"
Aramis AC 18 [Cat's Grace +5 Dex, Endurance +3 Con, Potion +2 Cha, Stoneskin 35HP, Bull Str +5] Wednesday August 20th, 2003 11:54:40 AM
"Appolo and Sly mentioned the need Tratain, I will just try and keep out of harms way from this point forward and use more of my natural skills." Then looking about, "So who's gonna play with the door here while I stand safely over here?" walking to a safe distance from the door to the other side of the room, but not aligned with the door itself.
Appolo Hp: 76/63 Ac:27 Wednesday August 20th, 2003 3:20:46 PM
Appolo says"Thank you my firend" as begins to feel measurably better after Ceira heals him He then turns to Tratain"I'm feeling much better now,I think Aramis could use some though and as he said Sly as well." When the door is mentioned, Appolo aproaches it"Well, Edge what do think?"
Edge d20+16=20 d20+7=25 d20+18=34 Wednesday August 20th, 2003 4:08:27 PM
Once Edge gets his mind on the door, he appears trancelike as he looks the door over and selects the tools he will need from a rolled up leather tool pouch. He then begins his job as carefully as if he were in surgery.
( I have included all rolls which may be required. search for trap 20. disable device(trap)25, open lock 34)
Lorth Thursday August 21st, 2003 7:49:37 AM
I am ready, let me know when we move.
Patchwork Rooms and Doom. (DM Jim) Thursday August 21st, 2003 12:49:31 PM
The decision made to move on is made and Edge checks the door. He is surprised to find it locked but not trapped in any way. His skillful hands soon have the door open and you look into a well light room. The first thing that you notice is that the floor is covered with colored tiles; red, blue and yellow ones. Then you look to the ceiling and walls and notice the same thing on them as well.
There is an open doorway on the other end of the room. You hear what could be light crunching from further on. Instinct tells you that this is most definitely going to get more dangerous.
Aramis AC 18 [Cat Grace +5 Dex, Endurance +3 Con, Potion +2 Cha, Stoneskin 35HP and Bull Str +5] Thursday August 21st, 2003 2:31:05 PM
"The decor just keeps getting better. Gold to guano them squares have magical nastyness associated with them. Keep checking Edge, we got you covered." Aramis will stand prepared near the doorway to lend support at whatever may pop out at the rogue.
Ceira [Invisible 1hr 30 min] 2d8(7+5)+3=15 2d8(8+4)+3=15 2d8(1+4)+3=8 Thursday August 21st, 2003 3:44:54 PM
Ceira uses her wand to touch Appolo, Aramis, and Sly for 15hp, 15hp, and 8hp of healing respectively. "Anyone else need healing?" asks Ceira. "There are plenty of charges to go around."
[OOC: What about the walls of the room? What are they made of?]
"I suggest we find a way to get across the room without touching the floor. I have some silk rope here. We should consider shooting an arrow to hit the top frame of the door on the other side. Then we fasten it down on the top frame of the door on this side. The danger of this is what lies on the other side. If only one of us can go at any time, we will be quickly outnumbered. I can try climbing across first to investigate while I'm still invisible."
"This plan only works if all of us are skilled in rope use. I doubt Lorth and Tratain's armor will hold well on the rope so we may need other ideas."
"We can always look for something to throw on those colored tiles."
Edge d20+16=27 Thursday August 21st, 2003 3:58:19 PM
Edge carefully inspects the tiles for signs of a trap. (search check 27)
Sly Foxx Thursday August 21st, 2003 4:52:12 PM
"I have a spell of spider Climb, but that will not help me if the tiles on the walls and ceiling are trap?" Sly wonders as he look into the room.
Appolo HP:76 Ac 27 Thursday August 21st, 2003 6:29:46 PM
Appolo looks at the room"Ok everyone stand back and let's let edge tell us what he knows." He waves evryone back a step, He then looks at the door they just came through."Tratian or perhaps you Lorth,could one of you remove the door from it's hinges I don't want it slamming shut and cutting off our retreat."
Appolo HP:76 Ac 27 Thursday August 21st, 2003 6:30:14 PM
Appolo looks at the room"Ok everyone stand back and let's let edge tell us what he knows." He waves evryone back a step, He then looks at the door they just came through."Tratian or perhaps you Lorth,could one of you remove the door from it's hinges I don't want it slamming shut and cutting off our retreat."
Tratain d20=2 Friday August 22nd, 2003 12:04:52 AM
Tratain says "I'm sure between the two of us we can probably get it off its hinges, either by Prying it off or smashing it."
Tratain will attempt to remove the door from its hinges, or assist Lorth if he is willing to try.
Lorth Friday August 22nd, 2003 8:39:27 AM
Lorth assists Tratain with the door removal. Sadly I cannot fly, or climb very well for that matter, so I'm thinking I might be resigned to running across. If it doesn come to that I volunteer to be the guniea pig.
Aramis AC 18 [Cat Grace +5 Dex, Endurance +3 Con, Potion +2 Cha, Stoneskin 35HP and Bull Str +5] Friday August 22nd, 2003 8:58:49 AM
"Lorth. You will do no such thing. Can't have my shiel..smile and wink..eer companion go running into danger like that. I have a disk spell that will support up to two at a time. I can either create many or use one as a ferry, depending on what Edge discovers. Though I do not think anyone would wish to be in combat on one of these things as they are only 3 feet in diameter."
Knowledge Will Set You Free. (DM Jim) Friday August 22nd, 2003 1:31:49 PM
Taking the door from the hinges is easy enough, Lorth and Tratain soon have it standing to one side as Edge checks over the tiles.
Edge quickly checks the tiles for traps and the like. His time is well spent as he notices that the tiles can be pressed down into the floor, though he does not press one himself. Glancing around the room more he notices that all the walls are well shaped stone, not an easy think to sink an arrow into unless you have special arrows.
You also notice that the ceiling is only eight feet high and that does not give much clearance. There area several fist sized rocks laying around along with loose dirt in patches on the floor of the room you are in.
Edge Friday August 22nd, 2003 9:36:11 PM
Edge relays his discovered information to the party. " I don't believe this is something I can disarm, though I'm willing to attempt. I'd guess it is a puzzle we must solve. "
Dylan Friday August 22nd, 2003 11:19:39 PM
Dylan places his wand in his shiled hand once again and sets his spear in his hand. Looking thru the door after Edge opens it Dylan can only shake his head, "Well its a trap of course, but now what kind is the question?"
Sly Foxx d20+3=20 Saturday August 23rd, 2003 8:50:37 AM
Sly sits haunches and looks for a paternin the placement and grouping of the tiles (looking for a patern or path to the archway at the other end (Int role 20). "I wonder if this is an evil puzzle of some sort? or if there's a safe passage?"
Appolo Hp 76 Ac 27 Monday August 25th, 2003 11:05:44 AM
Seeing that the door has been removed from it's hinges Appolo listens to Edge's report and the others comments."Ok people back up some more ,youtoo Edge."He gently pushes and wves the others back,once the others have backed up agood five or ten feet,"Get ready."Appolo pulls out a dagger and throws into the middle tile as hard as he can.
Tratain Monday August 25th, 2003 12:19:15 PM
Tratain backs away from the room a bit as it becomes clear that Appolo is going to do what he has been thinging of doing.
Aramis Monday August 25th, 2003 2:29:33 PM
Aramis slowly and slightly raises his finger as if to object "Apol..." but the dagger leaves Appollo's hand. Aramis'eyes squint and with a sharp inhale awaiting for something truly unpleasant to happen.
Blast From Four Directions. (DM Jim) Monday August 25th, 2003 2:44:13 PM
Sly studies the pattern on the floor, but there is not pattern to be found. The tiles are arranged all over the floor in the three colors and nothing more.
Everyone steps back as Appolo applies his idea to the solutions. Stepping forward a little he launches a dagger into the room, it slams into a red tile then flips up to land in a crack between two tiles. But as the dagger made contact with the red tile four gets of flame shot out from the tiles.
The dagger is glowing red from its sudden emersion into the fire.
Edge d20+12=23 Monday August 25th, 2003 3:09:12 PM
Edge gets an idea as he watches the glowing red dagger. He looks for a stone or something similar laying around. He throws the object into the room, aiming for a blue square.
(I made a ranged attack (23), because I didn't know what else to do. If you'd prefer a different roll, just let me know.)
Aramis Monday August 25th, 2003 3:58:31 PM
OoC- did the flames hit the whole room? How big are these tiles? 1'x1', 5'x5'?
Ceira [ Invisible 1hr 25 min] d20=6 Monday August 25th, 2003 4:04:04 PM
[OOC: Did the flames come from some kind of visible orifice?]
After waiting for the effect of Edge's stone on a blue tile, Ceira will follow by throwing a stone on a yellow tile. [OOC: Rolled a d20 for you to modify as you will. Probably a miss. (^_^)]
Sly Foxx Monday August 25th, 2003 8:13:44 PM
"Well,Appolo Red tile means Fire, We'll soon find out what the rest of the tiles have in store for us?" Sly sit down cross legged.
Lorth Tuesday August 26th, 2003 7:22:32 AM
Lorth waits for the tests to be over.
Dylan Swiftedge Tuesday August 26th, 2003 8:32:32 AM
Dylan nods as the others try their tests. Looking over the room Dylan searches for any doorways or other ways out of the til room.
Tile Room of Doom. (DM Jim) Tuesday August 26th, 2003 4:07:35 PM
Edge tosses his own stone into the room to test and see what the blue tiles do. As his stone comes in contact with the tile he aimed at, four frigid jets of pure frost shoot out from the matching tiles from the one that was hit. The stone is now ice covered and laying near the edge of the tile.
Ceira tosses another stone in to hit a yellow tile, but it misses and bounces across the room. It sets off a series of tiles as it go soon there are jets of flame, frost and lightning filling the room as the stone hits them.
The rest watch and wait, most likely swallowing hard and wondering how to get past this one.
[The tiles a 1'x1' and the room is covered with them. There are no other colored tiles to be seen. The jets come from the tiles themselves. Just the tiles of that color when activated in that line shoot flames.]
R=flame B=frost Y=lightning
(RBYBYRYRB) (BYRYRBRYB)
Above is what you would see for two rows across the room. When you hit a red tile then all the red tiles go off in that row, along with the ones on the walls and ceiling
Tratain d20+7=13 Tuesday August 26th, 2003 11:16:39 PM
After Viewing what all the tiles do when hit Tratain says "I can probably get one person across the room, I can protect someone from one type of Elemental Damage so if someone is nimble enough they can just hop from one tile to the next. Maybe there's a switch or something to deactivate the tiles on the other side, can anyone see anything over there?"
Tratain attempts to examine the far wall to see if there appears to be any way to deactivate the tiles and trys to see the door to the next room. (Spot 13)
Sly Foxx Wednesday August 27th, 2003 6:09:53 AM
Sly watches the tiles go off, "Hmmm! the colored tile goes off in rows?? Across?? one row at a time and from all sides?? Floor, ceiling and Left and right walls. But still it's burn, freeze and Ouch!" Sly sit there wondering. "Edge is the tiles slipery?? I mean if I should have a running start, to build up my momenthom, then run and slide. How far would I get before I drop dead??"
Lorth Wednesday August 27th, 2003 7:17:03 AM
Lorth turns to Tratain, "Well thats the best idea so far. I'll do it."
Dylan Swiftedge d20+4=10 Wednesday August 27th, 2003 9:02:59 AM
Dylan looks carefully across the room, "I can get across with no problems at all and perhaps get all of us there 1 at a time depending on where there is." Dylan says trying to spot a place to land on the other side.
Aramis AC 18 [Cat Grace +5 Dex, Endurance +3 Con, Potion +2 Cha, Stoneskin 35HP and Bull Str +5] Wednesday August 27th, 2003 11:41:05 AM
"I'm a bit confused. I can create a floating disk and ferry everyone across and no one would have to touch a tile at all, but somehow prancing from tile to tile hoping a magical element protection spell holds long enough to live to the other side is the better idea? I realize paladins and clreics have this overwhelming urge to prove themselves as often as possible and with luck demonstrating your ability to survive despite yourselves, but really gentlemen I must object this time." Aramis makes a quick gesture a 3 foot diameter disk floating 3 feet above the ground. "Now it will last for hours and can hold 1,000 pounds, I can direct it from up to 50 feet and move it at a rate of 5 feet per second. I can create one for each of us or we can ferry in groups of 2 or 3 maybe." Araims looks towards Ceira's voice location and then to the others. "I would also suggest preparing cover fire as there was something having a snack in the other room." He loads his heavy crossbow. "Shall we?"
Ceira [Invisible 1hr 24min] Wednesday August 27th, 2003 12:14:38 PM
"Excellent idea Aramis!" exclaims Ceira. "If Lorth still intends to go first, then at least let me cast Improved Invisibility on you to give you an advantage before reinforcements can arrive. If trouble arises, we will still aid you with whatever spells we can throw from here."
"Does anyone else have anything to add before we proceed?"
[OOC: If not, Ceira will case Improved Invisibility on Lorth]
Getting Across the Tile Room. (DM Jim) Wednesday August 27th, 2003 2:05:11 PM
What seems like a solution is soon proposed and started to be implemented. There is no sight of a switch of any kind across the room and there is no door, only a doorway.
[Need to know who is going across first and all. Remember to keep track of your spells and let me know what spells you have on you still.]
Lorth AC 35 (STONESKIN 38 HP) (Magic Vestment +3 AC) (BARKSKIN +4 AC) Thursday August 28th, 2003 7:55:06 AM
Lorth climbs atop the disc. Before Ceira can cast improved invisibility on him he asks, "Can I drop this spell at anytime? If I cannot, then I thank you, but refuse it. If I had to fight on the other side and was invisible, I would have a hard time attacking something that didn't know I was there. Seems quite unfair."
Dylan Swiftedge Thursday August 28th, 2003 8:43:23 AM
Dylan shrugs and climbs aboard a disk, "I will ride with Lorth incase of a healing emergency." Dylan says fingering his wand.
Aramis AC 18 [Cat Grace +5 Dex, Endurance +3 Con, Potion +2 Cha, Stoneskin 35HP and Bull Str +5] Thursday August 28th, 2003 10:56:22 AM
Aramis creates a disk for Dylan and after Lorth is on one and Dylan the other, sends them across the room to the doorway. AS the two glide acoss the room he calls out, "Get off as fast as you can so I can bring them back to bring the rest of us as fast as possible."
Sly Foxx Thursday August 28th, 2003 1:50:04 PM
"I think I'll go on the next disk. My idea will hurt all over." said Sly as he winks to Aramis.

Lorth and Dylan slowly float across the room, crouching a little as to not touch any of the tiles.
As you get closer to the doorway you see large hunkered forms ripping and chewing on something. One of the forms is standing and looking in your direction, spittle dripping from it's mouth.
Suddenly a pair of long greenish arms shoot out the doorway at Dylan. Another pair of greenish arms shoot out to grasp at Lorth as well. The others can only look on and hope for the best as Aramis calls back the discs.

"oh right that would have been the flaw in my plan" Aramis pinches the bridge of his nose again and softly moans forjust a moment. With a deep cleansing breath he straightens and creates a 3rd Disk. As soon as someone get on he directs it across as the other two arrive at his location.

Dylan manages to avoid falling of the disk onto the tiles but is successfully grappled by one of the trolls (A). Dylan finally gets frustrated and casts Flame Strike,<Concentration DC 32> centered on the drolling troll, catching all he canwithin the 10 foot cylinder.
Trolls At A Tea Party. (DM Jim) Friday August 29th, 2003 7:19:58 PM
The troll makes no real notice of the missiles that slam into it. Though they leave blasted marks on the things skin and a show of blood, it is soon healed over. No sign of the attack is even apparent on the surface of the troll's skin.
Aramis creates another disc to speed up the passage across and will recall the others towards him, as soon as Lorth and Dylan are off of them.
Sly quickly volunteers to be the next one across as he states that he can fight better than his magic would help out.
All the group needs now is a little leadership.

(OOC: Sorry I missed a day) (Hit AC: 32 Damage: 10) Lorth swings quickly as the troll tries to grab him. He hits the troll's arm and avoids being grabbed... (Reflex: 15) ... but he over extends and falls off the disc, foward into the room. (Direction: 2 foward)

Tratain hops on the next disc that comes close and starts across the room on it with Aramis's direction. Sly will hop on another of the discs and start his way across as well.
LAST POST --------- Dylan is grabbed by the troll that reached for him and pulled into the room. The troll leers at him as it brings him close. Dylan manages to keep his cool and draws upon his druidal powers. The flames begin to gather as if to strike, but then go out. Dylan cannot understand it, the power was there and then suddenly gone.
Lorth slashes at the arm of the troll reaching for him and strikes true. Jerking back its arm the troll roars in pain. Unlukily, Lorth overextends himself and tumbles into the room. He is now laying on his back looking up into the ugliest face that you would want to see.
THIS POST --------- The troll holding Dylan brings his teeth in at your shoulder, trying to bite you (hit: 26, damage: 10)[grapple check: 28, can break free by beating grapple check]
The other troll standing over Lorth grins,if it can be called that, and reaches for Lorth. It tries to grab you with both of it's clawed hands (hit: 32/17, damage: 13/11).
Lorth and Dylan will have noticed that there are six trolls in the room. Though at this time that does them little good.
Aramis AC 18 [Cat Grace +5 Dex, Endurance +3 Con, Potion +2 Cha, Stoneskin 35HP and Bull Str +5] Tuesday September 2nd, 2003 3:22:56 PM
"all a board, next stop Trollville." Aramis moves Sly and Tratain across. He also brings the third disk backn for someone else to get on. "Might I suggest some fire."
Dylan d20+8=18 d20+11=23 d8+4=10 Tuesday September 2nd, 2003 3:31:31 PM
Dylan struggles against the grapple but cannot break free. "Get off me ugly," the druid manages to gasp. Dylan jabs his spear in the direction of the troll hoping in his currnet condition to be able to hit him hitting AC 23 for 10 points of damage.
Edge Tuesday September 2nd, 2003 5:17:27 PM
Edge waits for his turn to ride accross, hopeing that everyone survives.

Appolo prepares his bow by wrapping pieaces of oil soaked cloth arround several arrows light them then he hops on the nearest disc,when gets close enough he will fire a flaming arrow at piont blank rang in to the nearest troll.Then quickly relaod and fire agian.

Lorth AC 35 (STONESKIN 28 HP) (Magic Vestment +3 AC) (BARKSKIN +4 AC) Wednesday September 3rd, 2003 9:13:18 AM
Lorth attempts to roll out of the way, but one of the trolls claws rakes his leg. Scrambling back a bit, he stands up and readies his weapons, facing off with the troll.
Sly Foxx Wednesday September 3rd, 2003 10:29:20 AM
Sly will hop on a disk and ride it untill he get close to the opening to the room. the He'' say "erif Ouchies" a fire ball will strike the one enemy that he was eating. Hopefully any emermy near him.

After Reaching the other side of the room Tratain hops off the Disc and Attacks the Troll nearest to him. (Hits AC 25 and 17 for 16 and 10 Damage)
The Party Continues. (DM Jim) d20+10=22 d6+4=6 d20+14=30 d20+13=23 d20+13=18 d8+6=13 d8+6=8 Wednesday September 3rd, 2003 4:04:15 PM
Aramis continues to keep the discs moving back and forth so the the party can get across and help thier friends.
Dylan manages to get his spear into play as the thing does not have his arms pinned. It drives deeply into the troll and it roars in rage, but does not let go.
Edge waits his turn to go across and mix it up with the trolls.
Appolo hopes on the disc that is returning to the trolls and pulls up his bow. He soon has the ends of the arrows flaming as he slowly gets closer. He fires off both arrows at the troll after Lorth. As the arrows enter the room the fires go out and it is just normal arrows that thud into the troll.
Lorth stumbles under the trolls first assault and quickly gets to his feet again to face off against his attacker.
Sly's disc is right beside Appolo's went he lets loose with a fireball into the room. Though it starts out ok, the fireball sputters and dies as it enters the room.
Tratain rides the last disc over from earlier and hops off to go after the troll that holds Dylan, hoping to free him. His first attack leaves a viscious cut in the things skin, but his other attack glances off the rubbery hide.
The troll(a) holding Dylan continues it's grapple (grapple check: 30, beat it and you are free) as it bites at him again (hit: 22, damage: 6).
Troll(b) continues to stock Lorth, even with the new assistance that has arrived. It takes another pair of swipes at him with both claws (hit: 23/18, damage: 13/8)
You notice that the rest of the trolls have stayed near the center of the room, not really seeing any need to get into the fray. Those in the room will notice the body of an elf laying on the floor that is partially eaten on.
Behind the trolls you see another door with no way to open it. There is a plaque beside it and you would guess another riddle to boot. Those that have seen it happen now several times, cannot understand why fire will not live in this room. The room is unnaturally cold, but not uncomfortable.
Sly Foxx Thursday September 4th, 2003 5:55:08 AM
"AAGG! Dragon doung! Just as I though, our magic does not work. Well we have to do this the hard way, Hand to Hand." Sly readies himself for jumping off the disc, Sword to the ready. (but to himself, *I better get a kiss from at less one of those Princess*)

Lorth blocks the trolls two attacks with his shield and then turns his attention to the troll crushing Dylan. Aiming for its head he attacks it trying to get it to drop Dylan. (hit: 22, damage: 9)
Aramis AC 18 [Cat Grace +5 Dex, Endurance +3 Con, Potion +2 Cha, Stoneskin 35HP and Bull Str +5] Thursday September 4th, 2003 10:23:42 AM

Tratain Continues to attack the Troll (Hit AC 22 and 21 for 16 and 13 Damage) Tratain says "When one of these things gets knocked down I think we should try and toss it onto one of those fire tiles to finish it off"
Appolo Hp76 AC 27 Thursday September 4th, 2003 1:49:00 PM
Appolo throws down his bow and arrows and draws his swords. He looks at Sly then says loud enough for the others to hear"No our magic does work, they just have a protection from fire spell up,can anyone cast dispell magic over the room." he then goes on the defensive.

Aramis continues to ferry his companions to the other side, but unless the doorway is unclogged a little noone will be able to move into the room.
Sly pulls his sword and moves into the room towards one of the trolls, muttering to himslef.
Lorth turns on the troll(a) that is crushing the life out of Dylan. His sword bites into troll flesh, leaving a great rend in it. Though some of that heals over before his eyes.
Tratain also continues his assault on the troll(a) holding Dylan. His sword also bites into troll flesh and leaves nasty lashes in it's skin. He throws out an idea to finish off the trolls for good.
Appolo hops into the room, drawing his sword as he comes. Now all he has to do is pick a target he thinks. He also throws out an idea on the magic that surrounds the trolls.
Aramis, Edge and Ceira hop on a disc and ride it across to the door opening.
Troll(a) despite it's wounds continues to hold (grapple check: 17, beat it and you are free) onto Dylan. It once again brings it's teeth to bite (hit: 16, damage: 9)at the poor druid caught in his grasp.
Troll(b) makes a grab at Lorth, both claws (hit: 18/18, damage: 11/8) leading the way.
Troll(c) starts moving towards the group as more people arrive to help out the first two that entered the room.
The other trolls stand their ground were they are and watch. The biggest of the lot roars what must be encouragement to the rest.
[Troll(a)'s post may change depending on what happens with Dylan's reaction.]
[Have not heard from Ciera for awhile. Are you still around or something??]
Dylan d20+1=13 d20+15=30 d20+10=29 Thursday September 4th, 2003 4:12:12 PM
Dylan attempts to free himself and manages only to get grappled a bit tighter for his work. The very breath being squeezed out of him and blood dripping from various bits on the druid show his only signs of wounding. Dylan takes a deep breath and caste Dispel Magic,<Concentration check DC 30>, to dispell the magic around them causing the fire spells and arrows to work.

Sly hops off and into the room, He goes to the troll that is crushing Dylan, with a little momentum run his sword (with both hands) into the troll left side through to the right side. Hoping that the troll will let go of Dylan (Also hoping that he did alot of damage to the trolls vital organs)

Lorth again blocks the two claw attacks from the troll. Seeing the ammount of punishment that the troll holding Dylan is taking, from Foxx and Appolo, he turns his attention back to the other troll. He attacks it twice... (Hit: 27/29 crit chance 24, Damage: 12/9 or 12/22 if crit is good.)

Dylan gasping for breathe is able to get out a spell of his own. One that he hopes will allow for the use of fire in the room.
Apollo brings both of his sword in to cut at the troll holding Dylan. He smiles grimly as the blades bite deeply into the trolls flesh and is sprayed by a fountian of green as he yanks them out.
Sly also charges in at the troll holding Dylan, his own sword running it through the one side and the point exiting the other side. Another fountain of green sprays as he pulls out the sword.
Aramis stops the disc that he is on about fifteen feet from the opening as he watches the melee before him.
Lorth lets his friend handle the troll holding Dylan as he turns back to the one attacking him. His weapon bites deeply into troll flesh and he smiles bitterly but without much compassion...trolls don't deserve that much sympathy.
Tratain finds the opening in the trolls defenses and takes it. His weapon hits home and he hopes that they will soon have Dylan free.
Edge flips the dagger over in his hand and flings it at the newest troll that plans on entering the fray. The dagger embeds itself into the troll's rubbery hide, but gives the troll little pause.
Troll(a) feels it's life slowly ebbing as it takes multiple hits. It's grip loosens on Dylan and then fails altogether as it slumps to the ground.
Troll(b) once again brings it's claws (hit: 29/14, damage: 13/11, if both claws hit rend: 18)slashing in at Lorth.
Troll(c) pulls out the dagger and flings it across the room. Chargeing in it makes straight at Edge, both claws (hit: 30/14, damage: 10/12, if both claws hit rend: 17)*beat opposed strength check 9 or be pushed back into other room* leading the way.
Troll(d) barks out some orders and the other trolls listen to her with undying loyalty.
Troll(e) moves into the fray as well heading straight for Sly as he helps get troll(a) off of Dylan. It swipes at him with claws (hit: 23/21, damage: 9/13, if both claws hit rend: 14), trying to draw him into a loving embrace.
Troll(f) moves to the side and over the fallen form of it's comrade to attack the one weak person that it sees...Dylan. It attemps to bring both claws (hit: 32/25, damage: 11/8, if both claws hit rend: 18) into play and drag Dylan into it's rubbery embrace.

Sly Pulls his sword out of the troll body, when hefeels the pain. "Why am I not suprise?? Want to Play You Yellow teeth Son of a Basklis." As Sly feels his sword leave the Troll body, he will pivet on the ball of his foot, swinging down at Troll(E) hitting(ac30), contiuning the momentum around(like a windmill)to hit the troll with another down ward swing(ac27), Look to see what kind of damage he did.

Aramis looks to the troll on Lorth (b) and extends his arm. A soft blue white glow builds into his as if condesing from the air about him. A fierce look upon his face, Aramis begins to softly chant and the glow, faint at first starts taking deeper tones of blue and begins to streak with purple. Aramis continues to chant, his voice building, his muscles flexing. The glow, a deep purple and hued with green tightens in his grasp elongating to the shape of a heavy bolt. Still chanting, Aramis reaches almost a shout and with a final word lets loose the bolt. It streaks, seperating into 5 distinct, but identical missiles and slam unerringly into the troll. (Empowered Magic Missile (4+1)1.5=7.5 (2+1)1.5=4.5 (1+1)1.5=3 (4+1)1.5=7.5 (3+1)1.5=6 for total =28)

Dylan gasps for air as the trolls lifeless arm slides down off of him. Rolling over to allow for wand room the druid attempts to cast from the wand onto himself healing 19 points of damage. The druid looks much better all bleeding seems to have stopped and color restored to his face. "Now what?"

Sly is still spinning from the attack.

As the Troll that was attacking Dylan Falls, Tratain attempts to toss the body as far into the previous room as he can, towords the wall closest to him. (Strength Check 23)

Tratain lifts the troll up off the floor and with some effort tosses him through the door. The thing only flys about seven feet towards the left wall, where it lands on a red tile and is soon engulfed in flames that continue to shoot.
Sly's sword bites deeply into the trolls form as it comes at him. Another gout of greenish blood cascades onto the floor.
Aramis takes the opening that is provided and fires off a set of powerful bolts at another of the trolls. It rocks backwards with the ferociety of the attack and the sheer power.
Dylan rolls to the side a little and brings his wand to light on himself. He feels the healing powers flood his body and breathes a sigh of relief.
Lorth brings his own sword slashing into the still smoking troll that Aramis had hit earlier. Another gout of blood from his wounded troll flows onto the floor.
Troll(a) burning and dead.
Troll(b) starts to slump to the floor under the conbined assault of Lorth and Aramis, but then straightens as if he got a second wind. It smiles unnervingly at Lorth as it continues to attack him with renewed vigor (hit: 16/24, damage: 10/9, rend: 17)
Troll(c) awaits the reply from Edge before doing anything.
Troll(d) roars again as she sees one of her brood go flying through the doorway and smells the burning of troll flesh. She slowly stalks in on the group, looking to see who she wants to attack.
Troll(e) makes another assault on Sly for the cutting that he has received at his hands. Claws (hit: 18/31, damage: 9/9, rend: 16) leading the way as always it tries to rend Sly in two.
Troll(f) attemps to rip the life from Dylan's prone body. It had seen an opening to claw and rend him to pieces and was not going to let it go (hit: 22/31, damage: 11/10, rend: 18).

"I got him Lorth you go say hi to leader boy." With a quick gesture and word of power, Aramis sends 5 bolts of purple/green fire at the Troll on Lorth (Magic Missile total 17dmg)
The floor is wet with blood and slippery. Sly is hit but he swing with his reflexe at the neck (trying to chop his head off)and tries to hit him a second time anywhere thats solid. Sly will stager back alittle for another attack if this troll does not go down.
Dylan d100=25 d20+11=18 d20+6=14 Thursday September 11th, 2003 8:33:08 AM
Dylan manages to roll out of the way of the troll's first attack but righ into the second taking full brunt of the rend. Dylan attempts to pull his spear out and manages to do so hopint to hit the big ugly in front of him the druid manages to miss badly. "Out of the kettle and all that," the druid mumbles.

*Last Post* Edge easily dodges both clumsy attack and finds his dagger back in his hand. Putting a little room between him and the troll he pitches the dagger again. The dagger bites into troll flesh, but does not slow the troll down as it moves towards him.
Troll(c) just seem to grin at Edge as it marches in at him unafraid. Both of it's claws lead the attack (hit: 16/16, damage: 13/8, rend: 22) as it tries to catch him and then rend him to pieces.
*New Post* Aramis yells to Lorth to take on the leader of the trolls while he finishes off the one that almost dropped last round. He fires off another set of magic missiles that slams the troll and drives it back a step.
Lorth watches as the troll starts to slump again and take the time to move around it to the leader. He brings his sword cutting in at the troll, biting into flesh but doing little real damage.
Sly keeps his balance on the blood soaked floor and brings his sword to bear on the troll again. The little bit of blood trickling down him gives him insentive to end this fight early. Both of his attacks connect solidly on the troll, the one had cut a severe gash in the things throat area...almost taking off it's head.
Dylan rolls to the side and away from the claws of the new troll attacking him. Much to his dislike he rolls into the other set of claws and feels the bite of troll claws.
Appolo slips in behind the troll attacking Dylan with a smile. His swords decend fast on the trolls unprotected rear and strike two grevious wounds.
Tratain forgoes his chance to attack a troll to heal Dylan for a little of the damage that he has taken.
Troll(a) burning and dead.
Troll(b) starts to slump to the floor under the magical attack of Aramis, but then straightens as if he got a second wind. It smiles unnervingly at Aramis but turns and stalks after Lorth (hit: 20/27, damage: 9/14, rend: 15)
Troll(c) awaits the reply from Edge before doing anything.
Troll(d) looks to Lorth as he attacks her and roars in his face. With amazing speed she tears into him with claws showing no mercy (hit: 19/17, damage: 9/12, rend: 17).
Troll(e) keeps up it's assault on Sly trying to get a kill for it's mate (hit: 21/17, damage: 7/10, rend: 17).
Troll(f) stays on the attack with Dylan, despite the fact that Appolo stuck it from behind, seeing an easy target in a prone creature (hit: 20/30, damage: 10/13, rend: 22).
[Rend only takes effect if both claw attacks hit. I cannot disclose if the dispel magic spell worked or not. You will note that Aramis is throwing magic missiles into the room, but was he doing that before the spell was cast.]
[Edge, please make a double attack post next time so I have one for last post and the new one. Thanks.]

Lorth fighting two trolls, defends himself vigorously. He manages to block most of the attacks and the few that get by his sword arm, can't seem to get passed his full plate. He again attacks the troll leader... (Hit: 36/28 possible crits on both attacks, crit checks: 25/12 Damage: 14/10 if either crit then damage is: 29/24)

Tratain Heals Dylan with the Wand again for 13. He then Calls out to the Group "Is anyone in need of healing, I'm having a difficult time keeping track of who is injured, call out if you need healing."
Sly Foxx Tuesday September 16th, 2003 6:32:08 AM
Pauses for a second breath.
Edge slams his mace into the troll, sending a jarring into his own arm. The troll seems to take the blow in stride drooling even more.
Troll(c) takes a pair of swipes at Edge with his long clawed arms (hit: 30/25, damage: 11/14, rend: 19).
*New Post*
Aramis sends off another series of magical bolts into the troll that refuses to stay down. He smiles as the troll stumbles and slumps to the floor.
Edge slams his mace into the troll before him again. He feels more power behind this one than his last. He watches grimly as the fight continues.
Sly, maybe growing a little frustrated, continues to weave his sword in what could be called a dance. He cuts into the troll twice more, yelling for the thing to just die already.
Dylan is almost up and standing on his feet till troll claws drive him back down. With persistance he tries again and makes it to his feet, falling into a defensive stance.
Lorth pours more energy into his attacks on the leader of these trolls. More blood splatters the floor as more wounds are dealt to both sides.
Appolo stabs his own troll in the back again. his swords bite deep and leave large cuts in the troll's flesh.
Tratain yells out to the group to let him know who is in need of healing and he will come to thier aid. At the same time he hits Dylan with a little more healing.
Troll(a) dead.
Troll(b) slowly slumps to the floor once again, but never makes it there as it stands once again. Still having fight in it, it hit's Lorth from behind with it's claws (hit: 21/17, damage: 11/12, rend: 19).
Troll(c) crazily swipes it's claws at Edge, no showing any real tactics (hit: 29/32, damage: 12/14, rend: 19).
Troll(d) shows her displeasure at not being able to hurt Lorth last round takes her flustration out at him again (hit: 32/32, damage: 14/7, rend: 17).
Troll(e) feels the bite of the sword, but it is only a momentary pain...the kill is everything as it goes after Sly (hit: 33*crit 26*/20, damage: 14*crit 28*/11, rend: 17).
Troll(f) watches as Dylan makes his way to his feet after a viscious attack. It smiles some thinking this a fine game (hit: 30/28, damage: 7/12, rend: 23).

Dylan turns from the troll attacking him, taking the attack of opportunity, and grabs Edge by the collar of his armor,< Hit AC 18> and attempts to drag him to the floating disk,<Strength DC 18>. Dylan then stands defensivly over Edge until he can help heal him.

Dylan manages to wiggle free of his troll as it rends at his armor and flesh. He manages to pull the now unconscious Edge to the doorway.
Sly is able to call out for asssistance right before he topples over.
Lorth avoids the blows of the she-troll and comes back on the attack. He now sees that they are fighting for their lives.
Aramis calls for someone to brings sly to the disc and safety. He also comments, loud enough for all to hear, about a retreat for the moment.
Tratain hits Sly with some healing and tells him to pull back for some more healing.
Appolo grabs onto the wounded trolls arm and literally flings him out the doorway into the tile room.
Troll(a) is dead.
Troll(b) flies through the doorway and into the tiled room. He lands on one of the red tiles and is soon ablaze.
Troll(c) roars as Edge is dragged from his clutches. It gives chase after he who would take his meal. It swipes at Dylan with reckless abandon and rage (hit: 33*crit 22*/19, damage: 9*crit 18*/9, rend: 19).
Troll(d) senses the weakness in the group as she roars anew to her fellows. She lets her claws lead on her assault on Lorth with new vigor (hit: 26/25, damage: 8/9, rend: 19).
Troll(e) also roars in rage as his meal is stolen by one of these other meals. It turns on Tratain as he is the one causing the problems (hit: 17/21, damage: 10/7, rend: 21).
Troll(f) lunges towards Dylan only to find another troll in it's way. It roars in rage at one of its own and then greedily watches Dylan. Not seeing anything else to attack or eat it goes after Tratain (hit: 22/22, damage: 13/9, rend: 17)
Aramis AC 18 [Cat Grace +5 Dex, Endurance +3 Con, Potion +2 Cha, Stoneskin 35HP and Bull Str +5 Thursday September 18th, 2003 4:25:00 PM
If anyone is on a disk, Aramis moves it to safety. He then casts Flare into the face of Troll C hoping to allow Dylan more time. [Flare fort DC 17 to negate or be -1 attack for 1 minute]
Sly Foxx Thursday September 18th, 2003 5:24:36 PM
Sly wakes a little bit, his eyes are blurry, His mouth is tastes of death (but it's really his own blood). He crawls toward the opening and the disk. He also tries to bump back of the trolls knees, if he cannot fight he'll try to trip them so that they'll fall and slide out the door.
OOC: DM I'm not sure how to roll on attacking with my body?
Appolo d20+12=17 d20+2=13 Thursday September 18th, 2003 8:57:18 PM
Appolo seeing what Sly is trying to do moves quickly forward and shoves the troll backward over Sly and out into the tiled room with all his strength.
Dylan d20+1=17 Friday September 19th, 2003 8:33:14 AM
Dylan ignores the pain of the attacking troll and throws Edge and himslef onto the first available disc making sure o cover Edge's body with his own.<Strength DC 17>

Tratain barely manages to Block all of the blows with his shield. He calls out, Dylan try and Heal Edge and then come to me, Everyone else we need to stick together and find a place where we can defend where they all can't attack us at once, We're just going to get killed if we stay all spread out like this."
Tratain Then casts Shield of Faith upon himself defensively. And moves into a more defensible position.
Maybe a Retreat. (DM Jim) d20+13=27 d20+13=17 d8+6=7 d8+6=12 2d8(6+6)+9=21 d20+13=26 d20+13=26 d8+6=12 d8+6=9 2d8(8+1)+9=18 d20+12=28 d20+12=28 d8+6=9 d8+6=11 2d8(8+1)+9=18 d8+6=12 d8+6=11 Friday September 19th, 2003 3:48:35 PM
Dylan literally throws himself and Edge onto the first available disc. He can only hope that the others make it out too.
Aramis casts his spell and the troll takes the full force of the spell, slowing it down and allowing Dylan to get away. He then starts the disc that now contains Dylan and Edge to moving away from the opening.
As Sly crawls towards the doorway he places himself behind a troll's legs. With a few well placed kicks to the back of the troll's legs it topples over him, but not before Appolo hits it full force.
Appolo hits the troll alright, but it is like running into a mountain. He stops dead in his tracks and shakes his head trying to clear the cobwebs (Fort DC 14 or be stunned for 1d4 rounds).
Tratain tries to relay some tactics for them to use as he blocks the blows from the troll. He knows that he is hardpressed to keep this up and they are not fighting as a unit. He gets out a single spell as he tries to catch his breathe.
Troll(a) is dead.
Troll(b) is dead.
Troll(c) is in a fit of rage now as he gets hit in the face with a blast of color. It howls as it rakes at it's own face with it's claws (damage: 12/11). Feeling blows to the back of its knees it losses it's balance and falls over Sly. Troll(c) is now on it's back and needs to get back up.
Troll(d) seeing the possible escape of her broods meal she lets fly on Lorth her anger (hit: 27/17, damage: 7/12, rend: 21).
Troll(e) feels that Tratain maybe on his last leg and getting winded. He continues the mindless assault of claws (hit: 26/26, damage: 12/9, rend: 18).
Troll(f) continues to carry the attack to Tratain as his fellow troll attacks him as well(hit: 28/28, damage: 9/11, rend: 18)
[Sly needs to make an unarmed attack or a grapple check versus the troll to knock it over. You will also get a +2 to that attack because of Appolo's help. If that succeeds then troll(c) will most likely fall, though he will not slide out the doorway and into the tile room he will be within six feet of it.]

Aramis flings another flare at troll(e) trying to put her off her game.
Sly slowly struggles to his feet with a little help from Appolo. Sly gets his true strike spell off after getting up.
Appolo helps Sly up and while he does hands him a cure moderate wounds potion for him to drink.
Lorth holds off the attacks that are aimed at him and returns his own set of attacks. His sword cuts fast but he can feel himself tiring really fast.
Troll(a) is dead.
Troll(b) is dead.
Troll(c) struggles to it's feet still feeling the effects of both a spell and the fall.
Troll(d) presses her attack on Lorth, trying to get him out of the way and at the others (hit: 19/17, damage: 12/7, rend: 21).
Troll(e) grasps at his eyes as the flare goes off. It glares at Aramis (fort save 23), drool hitting the floor with small splashes, gnashing it's teeth and working it's claws in anger.
Troll(f) drools some more as it claws at Tratain with all of it's might (hit: 29/28, damage: 11/14, rend: 15).

Dylan heals Edge as they both lay on the disc. With some trouble he sits up enough to survey things.
Tratian brings his weapon in hard on troll(f) trying to end it's life or at least take it out of the battle.
This Post
Aramis seeing no opening to throw out a lightning bolt shakes his head. He tosses out a flare spell instead at troll(f) hoping to blind it for a little bit.
Sly in desperation gets his true strike spell out and charges at troll(c). His sword hits hard and cuts deep, but Sly finds himself on his knees having spent a lot of energy.
Appolo true to his word keeps his eyes on Sly. He hits the troll(c) in the back with his attacks as Sly hits it from the front.
Dylan heals Edge some more with his wand this time. Then shakely stands on the disc to see who he can help next.
Tratain continues his assault on troll(f) intent on cutting the odds against them further by putting it down, though most likely not out.
Edge having received all the healing that he thinks he needs at this time, jumps up and flanks troll(f). His mace cracks into the troll twice as he tries to be of assistance to the whole group.
Troll(a) is dead.
Troll(b) is dead.
Troll(c) staggers as he almost makes it up and then slumps back to the floor.
Troll(d) roars as she sees two of her number slump to the floor. Though she knows that they are not dead yet it is making her angry. She sweeps in on Lorth with renewed vigor and just a little bit of a rage (hit: 14/25, damage: 12/12, rend: 20).
Troll(e) sees the return of more fresh meat and lumber towards Sly and Appolo.
Troll(f) feels the effects of the attacks that have been made on it and slowly starts to slump to the floor. It has no way of trying to fight off the spell that hits it about the same time.

Sly is very suprise that he is still alive, even though he is down on his knees, he is about to try to get on his feet, BUT there's a Troll(e) lumbering down on him and Appolo "Thanks Friend! for your help." As the Troll approches, Sly(still on his knees) raises sword and with all his might will trust his blade(with both hands) into the soft part of the Trolls belly, then twist the blade. "All this for a kiss from an Elven Princess!" he tell Appolo.

Lorth can feel the weight of the battle taking it's toll on him as both of his swings go wild and he misses. He just hopes that things end soon for thier side.
This Post
Aramis, despite his own advice in his head, hops off the disc and attempts to give the downed troll a fling. *strength check please*
Dylan takes in the actions and moves to heal Lorth as he is taking the brunt of the damage.
Sly slams the sword into the troll's belly as it lumbers in his direction. He twists it savagely and is rewarded with a gushing spray of green blood that coats him completely.
Appolo keeps up the banter with Sly as he too hits the troll from behind with one of his two sword attacks.
Lorth attacks again despite the feeling of lead in his arm. His first hit bites into troll flesh but his second is turned aside by the rubbery skin.
With an act of desperation Tratain grabs onto the troll and attempts to toss it out of the room. Much to his dismay he cannot even get the strength to lift it let alone toss it anywhere.
Troll(a) is dead.

Troll(c) slowly rises to it's feet as Aramis tries to pick it up and toss it around.
Troll(d) catches the one attack of Lorths as the other glances off her skin. She shrugs a little as she slams her claws back in at him (hit: 20/17, damage: 9/14, rend: 14).
Troll(e) smiles down at Sly as he is kneeling and has his sword stuck in it's gut. It sends a backhand at Appolo with great force (hit: 22, damage: 12).
Troll(f) fights through it's slight blindness as it turns on Tratain. It attemps to use it's claws on him (hit: 19/17, damage: 11/12, rend: 14).

Sly passes out for a moment, then slowly wakes "What I'm still alive??". As the troll straitens up as he back hands Appolo, sly summons up all the strenth he has left, and trustes the troll again. "I wish I could remember a nice fire spell right about now!"

Aramis's attempt to lift he troll and toss him anywhere, let alone try and push him leaves him straining with no success. He is now staring into the chest of a standing troll.
Dylan hits poor Lorth with some more healing and comments about fighting together.
Lorth shruds off the attacks that are placed agaist him and tears into the troll with more zeal, if not a little tiredness.
Tratain continues his assault of the troll, trying to keep it down for awhile.
Sly, barely able to believe his good luck, slices his blade into the troll again. He gets another fresh gout of blood for his troubles.
Troll(a) is dead.
Troll(b) is dead.
Troll(c) is now fully standing and looking down at Aramis with a big yellow toothy smile, that more than gives him the idea of what comes next (hit: 15/18, damage: 9/8, rend: 18).
Troll(d) is oozing green blood from several wounds that are slowly closing over. It just smiles knowing that whatever they dish out she can heal. She then claws at Lorth again (hit: 14/32, damage: 8/12, rend: 18).
Troll(e) smiles disappears as it feels the blade bite in again and it slumps to the floor.
Troll(f) takes the blows that are rained on it with no problems. It had hoped to return the attack but it could not hold onto it's will to stand for very long as it slumps to the ground.
[Tratain - I am going to let you roll the % for your cloak as I seem to forget it. Anything 20% or lower negates an attack against you. I am really sorry for all the times that I missed your cloaks benefits.]

Aramis quickly sidesteps the first mighty claw, drawing his club now that Lorth is in a flanking position. A wry smile coming to his lips is quickly removed by the second great claw. Spying it at the last moment allows him to shift and avoid most of the power behind the swing. A hiss of energy comes from Aramis as teh Stoneskin spell absorbs the attack leaving him undamaged.
Aramis grips his magical club and brings it around in a bonecrushing level swing [hit AC 23 actually 25 forgot the flank Damage 17]

Sly turns to Appolo Wait a mimute,I do have a Fire ball spell but Lorth is too close to her. I know! I know of another Spell It's Shocking Grasp?? Please help get up and I'll grab her arm." Sly grabs Appolo hand (to help himself up) chanting 'Protectus est appolous Slius um bad bad' (Sly just cast Protection from Evil.)

Aramis just barely avoids the attacks and even takes one off his stoneskin spell. With mixed emotions he takes his club and smacks it into the troll.
Sly slowly gets to his feet with the assistance of Appolo. Sly takes the time to cast a protection spell on the pair of them.
Tratain attemps to grab and throw the troll before him out into the tile room. This would help out the group a lot as another troll would be gone.
Lorth flanks the troll with Aramis and throws his own set of attacks at it. He can feel the effects of all the combat on him acutely now. Soon he knows that he will start having troubles in combat.
Dylan asks for a status report so that he can throw healing at whoever needs it most.
Edge slams his mace into the troll twice, but finds that he only gets solid contact with his last blow.
Troll(a) is dead.
Troll(b) is dead.
Troll(c) claws furiously at Aramis trying it's best to disembowl him (hit: 19/23, damage: 13/14, rend: 16).
Troll(d) feels a weapon impact on a side she had not expected. She slowly turns her head to see Aramis at her side. Then she feels more agony as a sword slices into her. Feeling heavy as lead she slowly slumps to the ground
Troll(e) attemps to struggle free from Tratain's grasp but has no luck. He is soon flying a little ways through the air and lands in the tile room. As it lands on a tile it's body is thrown back up jerking as lightning zaps into it.
Troll(f) starts to stand only to have himself slammed into the ground again from more damage.
Aramis AC 18 [Cat Grace +5 Dex, Endurance +3 Con, Potion +2 Cha, and Bull Str +5] d20+15=16 Tuesday September 30th, 2003 5:44:45 PM
the trolls claws careen off the protective spell, and as the creature's vice like grip tears into his body, he feels the protective ward give under the onslaught. Bleeding, from several wounds Aramis coughs for a little air and spits to his side. With his protection down a little panic creeps into him. Though the combat about is slowing, with only one troll active, now is not the time to make an amatuer like mistake Taking a small step away from the Troll, he defensively casts Shield. The air in front of him wavers momentarily and his clothes and hair ruffle, as if a wind came from behind him.

Aramis gets up a shield spell that will protect himself as his other shield goes down.
Sly successfully touches the she-troll and delivers a not so painful shock of electricity to her.
Lorth presses his attacks on the she-troll with heavy limbs. His first attack hitting and his second going wide.
Appolo makes his way to Aramis and pulls him along. He suggests they work together to toss another troll into the tile room.
Edge continues his attacks on his troll, trying to keep it down until it can be dealt with.
Despite his inability to hit the troll that he attacks, Dylan is not too upset. It finally looks like they have things in hand.
Tratain attempts to throw another troll into the tile room.
Troll(a) is dead.
Troll(b) is dead.
Troll(c) roars in rage and feeling no fear, he throws himself at Aramis (hit: 19/14, damage: 12/8, rend: 14).
Troll(d) was just about to rise before she was hit from several different directions and slumped back to the floor.
Troll(e) is dead.
Troll(f) is hit by a pair of attacks from Edge and missed by a few by Dylan. As if that was not enough; Tratain and Appolo come over to combine their efforts to toss a troll. He sails out the doorway and into the tile room, connecting with a tile and zapped by a lot of voltage.

The she troll is suprized, turns and is hit from diffrent direction fall down,but she's not dead.

The Trolls massive swings meet the arcane energies of the invisible shield. A hissing scream like steel on slate emits from the area, but the blows do not penetrate. Aramis keeps the shield in the trolls direction and follows Apollo in moving out of the area and throwing a downed troll onto the tiles. (Str check=22)

Sly lets loose with his fireball spell at the she-troll. He drops to the floor hands over head, when he notices that nothing happened. Just before he drops the fireball only came out as a little ball of smoke.
Aramis is thankful for the spell that deflects the trolls attack or absorbs it. He makes it over to help out in the toss the troll game.
Edge fires off a magic missile at a troll and then winces when he notices that it just blackened the skin and that is about all.
Appolo makes his way over to the she-troll and grabs her arm to toss her out of the room. He plans to finish her off like the others.
Dylan steps up to stab the troll that Appolo plans on throwing out of the room so that it cannot do anything.
Lorth puts himself between the troll that is attacking Aramis and Aramis. He concentrates on defense as he lets himself catch his breathe.
Troll(a) is dead.
Troll(b) is dead.
Troll(c) roars in rage and feeling no fear, he throws himself at Lorth (hit: 30/30, damage: 10/8, rend: 20).

Sly is suprised at just the puff of smoke, look at his hand "Well! i guess I'm weaker than I though?". He's glad that someone took the advantage to throw her onto the tiles. Noe Sly slides himself up the wall and slowly approches the troll that is doing a number on Lorth. He hits him in the back. "Thanks for taking care of her, and I know it's a little coward of me to strike him in the back, but I like Lorth better."

Sly a little surprised by his spell, shakes it off and attacks the last troll. He hits it from behind and just shrugs it off.
Lorth blocks the blows from the troll and then scores some of his own in retaliation. His sword bites deeply each time and the troll wavers.
Dylan comes out of nowhere and catches the troll with a well placed spear strike. The troll seems to be wavering even more as life flickers in it's eyes.
Aramis hangs back waiting for his chance to toss it out of the room or give aid in tossing it (fort DC 18 for half damage, damage: 11).
Troll(a) is dead.
Troll(b) is dead.
Troll(c) would have tried to retaliate to the attacks but life slips through it's finger as everyone strikes it. It slumps to the ground but fights all the way down.

Aramis heaves the troll with a grunt that quickly turns to surprise as the icy blast tears towards him... [Reflex 20 saved] Aramis quickly spins to the ground, wrapping his cloak about his upper body as a shield from the cold.
Moving slightly farther back from the door on hands and knees, he slowly stands. The pain from multiple wounds and now the frigid numbnesss setting into his body more than evident on his face.
"There, now that wasn't such a chore." he breathes. "Who might I see about a healing touch or two?" his eyes searching those of his companions.

Troll infested room. (DM Jim) Wednesday October 8th, 2003 3:32:54 PM
The fight is over and the adrenaline is starting to wear off. You all feel the efforts of the past few fights and really think you could use some sleep. You must now make a decision as this room seems secure with the tile room back and the locked door before you.
The locked door is of solid steel with no handle or other way to open it. The is a panel across from it with letters written in elvish on it (decipher script DC 20 or ability to speak/read elven). Below the writing are a series of three open panels that appear to have been written in at one time.

Aramis AC 25 [Shield AC +7, Cat Grace +5 Dex, Endurance +3 Con, Potion +2 Cha, and Bull Str +5, Stoneskin 100hp] Thursday October 9th, 2003 12:43:54 PM
Aramis looks at the panels but, can't read elven and language skills are really overated anyway he moves off to let someone else peek.
Noting Sly's quick departure to the realm of sleeping, "I don't mean to be picky, but the elves did say just about anywhere except up that hole was a bad idea on the napping thing. If we're gonna do it though some of us definately need to stand watch."
"I'll be on first so that any more spells I expend I can still recoup during my morning meditations and along that note, Tsho, Soli, Vberum!"
A thick hunter green smoke rolls from his feet to serpentine about him breifly before it disappears. [Cast Stoneskin] Aramis then looks about the room trying to judge the size. If it is larger than 20x20, "Want I should create a shelter for us. 8 bunks a place to build a fire and asuredly more defendable than an open room."
If folks agree Aramis casts Leomunds Secure Shelter. Placing the shelter across the door we did not enter through flush with the wall. The door of the shelter will be orientated to the doorway leading to the Tile Room.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the Chateu de Aramis. Please make yourselves comfortable."
Tratain Thursday October 9th, 2003 2:01:41 PM
Tratain says "I think some rest would be very beneficial. Who needs healing, just tell me how badly you are hurt and I will attempt to spell everyone to health, and save the wands some."
Appolo Thursday October 9th, 2003 2:03:09 PM
"Yes we should definately rest and those who were wounded do not need to stand watch and should be allowed to rest the longest"Appolo agrees as looks around"I stand watch with Aramis and thank you for the shelter my friend." Appolo the walks around making sure everyone is comfortable and passes out some rations and water. He then walks over to the pnels and reads them,studying them closely.
Troll room and the needed sleep. (DM Jim) Thursday October 9th, 2003 3:40:32 PM
Those that decide to not go to sleep yet but stand guard, do a little bit of eating. The rest bed down for some time in the building that Aramis creates for them.
Appolo goes over to look at the plaque on the wall. He reads it off quietly to himself as the others sleep, trying to get the meaning of it to help them move on faster.
Plaque: "Take the number of your fingers multiplied by the number of your toes divided by one half and add it to the number of months in a year"
The night passes uneventfully and everyone wakes up rested and feeling a lot better. Those that want and can read the writing will find the plaque to say what Appolo says it does.

Waking with a stretch and scratch, Aramis rolls out of bed and tells 'fodder' to bring him his gear make him breakfast. Blinking away the sleep, he looks about to note he is one of the last up. Pulling his legs under him on the straw bunk he begins his mediatations, a small iron rubbing stone in one hand and a silver coin in the other.
A breakfast of hard tact, sharp Cheddar, dried fruit and water float to Aramis at his bunk when he finishes his mediataions and he sits back to enjoy, as much as one can, the meal.
Shortly after eating his drinks a potion [Cha+2], and casts several spells.
Energies wrap about him in sickly green and pale gray hues of a nimbus like cloud, before coallesing and vanishing. [Bulll Str+2, Cat's Grace+2, Endurance+4, Stoneskin]

You all wake the next morning and goes through your prayers/studying as needed. A good morning meal is also in order before you start out.
Most of you are feeling a lot better about all that has happened. Still you worry about what today will bring.
But first the plaque must be studied and the riddle solved before you can move on.
Once the everyone is reading and the lodging dismissed you notice that the mouth and eye has returned to haunt you. "Good morning...good morning...how did you all sleep...like the dead I hope." The mouth floats by the door chuckling as the eye blinks several times at the group and then just winks at you.

Aramis moves to Lorth and casts a spell. A viscous green vapor snakes about him and then appears to absorb into his skin leaving a familiar and faint gray palored look to the paladin [Stoneskin on Lorth 100hp for 100 min]
The Plaque. (DM Jim) Monday October 13th, 2003 5:51:34 PM
Those that move forward to have a once over at the plaque find it to read the following. Remember that it is written in elvish so getting someone to translate maybe needed.
Plaque: "Take the number of your fingers multiplied by the number of your toes divided by one half and add it to the number of months in a year."
You still wonder what the series of four smaller plaques below the riddle are for. You once again notice that they appear to have been written in at one time.
Sly Foxx Monday October 13th, 2003 5:57:54 PM
Sly reads the plaque "Hmm! take numbers of your fingers, well that's 10. Multiply by numbers of your toes, well 10 times 10 is one hundred,right? Now devide by one half, that leaves fifty, Add to the numbers of months in a year, well now I never though of the months or ever named then. How many months 10? 12? 14? Then the answer is either 60 or 62 or 64. Is that right Guys?"
Dylan Tuesday October 14th, 2003 8:59:55 AM
"There's month's in a year?" Dylan asks the sarcasm dripping from his words as a smile as warm as the spring sun creps over his face. "I believe you are right Sly. Now which is it?"
Tratain d20+7=21 Tuesday October 14th, 2003 12:13:07 PM
Tratain examines the 4 smaller plaque's to try and determine if anything is written on them. (Spot 21) While Examining them he says "I believe the answer is 212, its cleverly worded to confuse people i think, or im just thinking to much into it."
Lorth AC 32 (STONESKIN 100 HP) Tuesday October 14th, 2003 12:21:33 PM
Lorth turns to Aramis, "Thank you." Then he comments on the riddle, "There are 10 months in the year friends, 2 spring, 3 summer, 2 fall and 3 winter months. At least that is what I was taught as a boy."
(OOC: sorry I've been missing some days, these last few weeks have been crazy. I should be back to normal in one weeks time.)
The Plaque. (DM Jim) Tuesday October 14th, 2003 1:52:33 PM
You sit in discussion of the possible answers to the plaques question. Now all that must be done is an answer chosen from the many that you have.
The mouth continues to rattle on about the things to come and how it is all great fun. The eye floats in front of each of you, blinking several times at you.
Aramis AC 25 [Cat Grace +2 Dex, Endurance +4 Con, Potion +2 Cha, and Bull Str +2, Stoneskin 100hp for 100min] Tuesday October 14th, 2003 2:18:38 PM
Puzzles and such not being Aramis strong suit, he hangs back nodding and smiling to Lorth a 'you're welcome'
So we pick an answer, inevitably wrong and bad stuff happens. Piece of cake. He dryly thinks to himself.
Sly Foxx d20+5=23 Tuesday October 14th, 2003 5:15:12 PM
"Well! we wood elves was out hunting for the village to learn days and months. But thank you Lorth, then the answer is 60. I hope this is not a trap." Sly will go around the room, knocking on the wall and listening for echos(to tell him where the hollow spots are,)
OOC: listening 23
Edge Tuesday October 14th, 2003 8:05:10 PM
" Well, I guess I agree with 60. "
Lorth AC 32 (STONESKIN 100 HP) Wednesday October 15th, 2003 8:08:13 AM
"Well, it is 10 months on our plane of existance anyway. I suppose we could be anywhere." Lorth finishes putting on his armor and readies his weapons, for this days assault.
Dylan Wednesday October 15th, 2003 8:48:08 AM
"Ok, lets go with 60 and get ready for the worst." Dylan says with a slight frown.
Aramis AC 25 [Cat Grace +2 Dex, Endurance +4 Con, Potion +2 Cha, and Bull Str +2, Stoneskin 100hp for 100min] Wednesday October 15th, 2003 10:08:28 AM
Aramis looks to the Eye and Mouth that have arrived to mock them and quietly says, "I am so going to hurt you for this." then more to himself, "Puzzles and trickery. Typical coward and probably a woman to boot."
Aramis notices the others almost waiting on him, "Yea, great 60. Sounds fantastic. What could possibly be wrong with this plan?"
Tratain Wednesday October 15th, 2003 1:40:19 PM
Tratain says "Well these plaques on the bottom do something, I guess we can try and trace our answers on them? or maybe if we examine them close enough some choices are give?"
Tratain continues to examine the Plaques and see if he can make out any fo the writing that was once on them.
The Plaque Dos. (DM Jim) Wednesday October 15th, 2003 4:27:52 PM
After much decision makeing and discussion you come up with an answer, but now what to do with it.
Tratain looks over the bottom panels but cannot make out anything of the writing. He slowly traces the numbers given to him by the group but he only succeed in cleaning off the first two panels. The stuff on his finger could be soot or even ink, it is black in color and could even be blood.
Maybe another idea??
Appolo Wednesday October 15th, 2003 8:38:07 PM
Well rested and feeling fairly good,quietly watches as the others try to figure out the riddle.
Sly Foxx d20+7=23 Thursday October 16th, 2003 10:06:32 AM
Watches Tartain and the stuff on his firgers,"What does that black stuff smell like?"
occ:Arcana Knowledge 23.
Aramis AC 25 [Cat Grace +2 Dex, Endurance +4 Con, Potion +2 Cha, and Bull Str +2, Stoneskin 100hp for 100min] Thursday October 16th, 2003 12:33:58 PM
"um," Aramis pipes up as the problem solvers discuss the riddle and such.
"I have a suggestion. Seems the riddle is in 4 parts and we got 4 smaller plaques. Maybe each sub part of teh riddle goes on a plaque and knowing this place it probably has to be in blood."
"So Take numbers of your fingers, 10 and that's the first small Plaque. Multiply by numbers of your toes, 10 times 10 is one hundred, according to Sly so that's Plaque 2. Divide by one half, leaving fifty, on the third Plaque and finally Plaque 4 for is the final answer of 60."
"what do think?"
Appolo Thursday October 16th, 2003 1:35:39 PM
Appolo looks at Aramis"Yes that sounds good let's try it."
The Plaque, tres. (DM Jim) Thursday October 16th, 2003 2:56:50 PM
You continue to discuss the riddle as the mouth start floating around the room. "6s and 3s to the 0s and 3s." It continues to roam around the room singing this little song and generally getting on your nerves.
The eye stops to blink at Tratain's finger and then seems to shiver a little. It then turns to blink at the group and then wink.
Sly is able to tell after a closer look that the substance on Tratain's fingers is truely blood.
A plan is now formed but what yo use to write with and what do you use as ink.
[What are you going to use to write with??]
Sly Foxx Thursday October 16th, 2003 5:32:50 PM
Sly look up at Tartain and tells him "I know what on your fingers, It' Blood!" Sly scratches his head, "There's some thing running around in my head?? That anoying song of that floating Blinking Eye?? We could use the Blool to write with, but write What?? Where?? Oh! This blood it's not yours is it, Tartain??"
Edge Thursday October 16th, 2003 9:24:38 PM
Edge turns away, " I really can't bear much more blood. "
Dylan Thursday October 16th, 2003 10:39:20 PM
Haring the words blodd and write the druid goes to the far edge of the room, nearest the tiles and sits mumbling to himself and rocking back and forth.
Lorth AC 32 (STONESKIN 100 HP) Friday October 17th, 2003 9:33:01 AM
Lorth waits and watches to see what happens when Tratain starts writing.
Aramis AC 25 [Cat Grace +2 Dex, Endurance +4 Con, Potion +2 Cha, and Bull Str +2, Stoneskin 100hp for 100min] Friday October 17th, 2003 11:42:46 AM
"Tratain another suggestion. Use a troll finger and some troll blood first." At this Aramis points to the still floating disks just outside the room as a mean to reach the trolls in the room of tiles. [disks last 10 hours]
"Failing that a dagger and someone's finger I would think. Or even returning to the room with all the" Aramis appears a bit pale as teh image of the room comes back to his minds eye, "well...you know the room I mean."
Tratain Friday October 17th, 2003 11:59:05 AM
Tratain says "Its not my Blood, I can only guess that we're supposed to write our answer on one of these plaques or on the door itself. I guess we'll just have to try untill we find something that works."
The Plaque, quatro. (DM Jim) Friday October 17th, 2003 3:24:55 PM
After much discussion and finally coming to a decision, Tratain makes his way over to get some of the blood from the floor. He then makes his way back to the door then starts to write on the door. After he is done he backs off, closing his eyes, to see what can happen.
After awhile nothing seems to happen so he moves over to the plaque and starts to write on the panels below the riddle. Once again he steps back from the door and waits.
With a rumbling the door slowly slides open to reveal the room beyond. You see the lights of many torches burning in the next room and in the center is a large hole that most likely leads down.
Dylan d20+3=12 Friday October 17th, 2003 11:42:23 PM
"Are you done with that stuff yet?" Dylan calls over his shoulder. As the groups gives the affirmative Dylan goes up and looks across teh new room.<Spot 12>
Sly Foxx Saturday October 18th, 2003 3:27:04 PM
Sly looksover the shoulder of Dylan, "What another hole in the floor? Where are we going any way? Hadies??" Sly wonders.
Edge Sunday October 19th, 2003 5:13:05 PM
Edge approaches the hole, motioning for the others to stay back. He will look inside the hole and report his findings to the group.
Lorth AC 32 (STONESKIN 100 HP) Monday October 20th, 2003 7:57:33 AM
Lorth waits at the doorway to the new room.
Aramis AC 25 [Cat Grace +2 Dex, Endurance +4 Con, Potion +2 Cha, and Bull Str +2, Stoneskin 100hp for 100min] Monday October 20th, 2003 9:16:37 AM
Aramis stands a few feet behind Lorth and waits for Edge to supply some findings.
The Hole. (DM Jim) Monday October 20th, 2003 2:37:47 PM
Looking over the room you find nothing of interest...except the hole leading down.
Edge looks into the hole and can see a pin-prick of light at the bottom.
Suddenly near the far wall a demon's head appears. "Ahh...good...you have made it this far. This game is getting even better by far." He seems to give each of you an apraising look that gives you the creeps. "I guess I should tell you that nine days have already passed...you are running out of time." With that the head disappears, leaving a peel of laughter to roll around the room.
Edge Monday October 20th, 2003 8:54:43 PM
" I don't know how deep it is, but I can see a pin prick of light at the bottom. "
Tratain Tuesday October 21st, 2003 12:13:41 AM
Tratain says "That looks pretty deep, do we have enough rope to get to the bottom?"
When the Demon's head appears Tratain says "9 Days?!? Is that possible? I have heard that time can run differently on different planes but 9 days have passed? How long do we have left? We need to hurry if its telling the Truth. If that much time has passed already We may already be too late, but we have to press on anyway."
Sly Foxx Tuesday October 21st, 2003 5:10:36 AM
Sly jumps a little when the Devil's head appears, "I'll never get use to that face!" Sly look around to see if there's other magic users them ask "Can any body else cast Spider Climb, here?"
Lorth AC 32 (STONESKIN 100 HP) Tuesday October 21st, 2003 8:05:16 AM
"I have 50ft of rope. Otherwise I have no other way to get down, unless someone can help me", says Lorth.
Dylan Tuesday October 21st, 2003 9:36:09 AM
"Well I can always fly down to see how far it is if you all would like." Dylan says finally glad to be able to do something besides heal.
The Hole. (DM Jim) Tuesday October 21st, 2003 3:17:41 PM
With the disappearance of the demon head you all start talking over the idea of getting down. You can tell that it is going to be greater than fifty feet to the bottom of the hole.
Dylan makes a comment about flying down to see how far it is. Sly also makes the comment of te spider climb spell. Know all you have to do is make a decision.
Aramis AC 25 [Cat Grace +2 Dex, Endurance +4 Con, Potion +2 Cha, and Bull Str +2, Stoneskin 100hp for 100min] Tuesday October 21st, 2003 5:12:36 PM
Looking to Sly "No I'm afraid I do not know the spell. I had a hard enough time withthe first descent with fatigue setting in. There is no way I could make this climb even WITH rope my friends."
Aramis nods his head agreeing with Dylan's suggestion, "Though it would be a hell of mess to get ambushed in there."
Appolo Tuesday October 21st, 2003 6:29:36 PM
Appolo breaks out his 50 ft rope and grappling hook,ties it off then drops the other end into the hole"Alright who's first?"
Lorth AC 32 (STONESKIN 100 HP) Tuesday October 21st, 2003 8:44:21 PM
Lorth waits for others to scout the hole.
Edge Tuesday October 21st, 2003 9:10:44 PM
" I'll go first. I can hopefully disarm any traps I may run into, before I set them off. "
Tratain Tuesday October 21st, 2003 11:51:30 PM
Tratain says "Can those Disk's we used to cross the trap in the last room go up and down as well?"
Sly Foxx Wednesday October 22nd, 2003 5:00:42 AM
Sly ask Appolo, as he also takes out his rope from his backpack, "you can use my rope also, just like we did last time." then to Aramis,"How about a Feather Fall Spell? if not then it's the disk for you??"
Dylan Wednesday October 22nd, 2003 5:27:47 AM
Dylan shrugs his shoulders at the rope and concentrates. The young druid face grows elongated and feathered then like water rollingover a cliff a peregrin falcon sits there, takes flight suddenly and flies halfway down the hole.
Aramis AC 25 [Cat Grace +2 Dex, Endurance +4 Con, Potion +2 Cha, and Bull Str +2, Stoneskin 100hp for 100min] Wednesday October 22nd, 2003 2:49:37 PM
Aramis shakes his head to both Dylan and Sly. "I'm afraid not in wither case friends. The disk will vanish as soon as it is greater than 3 feet from the floor and I do not have Feather Fall wither. I have no means of magical transit. My repotoire mostly involves combat both melee and at range."
Then looking down at his feet he sheepishly says, "Sorry."
The Hole. (DM Jim) Wednesday October 22nd, 2003 3:42:45 PM
Appolo anchors his rope and then adds Sly's to it as well.
Dylan takes on the form of a falcon and flies down the hole. He would estimate that the half way point is about 110 feet down.
Aramis hangs his head as he has none of the needed spells to make traveling down easy. Still a way will be found that is for sure.
Edge offers to go first down the rope but is beat by Dylan who flies down the hole.
The idea of using the disks is discusses but Aramis is able to tell them a little about the magic that makes them work.
[With Appolo's rope and Sly's rope, how much rope altogether do we have?]
[Dylan can go the rest of the way down and report on how far it is down, about. He could also let them know how far it is to the half way point.]
APPOLO OOC: Thursday October 23rd, 2003 3:41:43 AM
Appolo has 50 ft.
Lorth AC 32 (STONESKIN 100 HP) Thursday October 23rd, 2003 7:40:46 AM
Lorth offers his 50' of rope, "Do we need to add this?"
Dylan Thursday October 23rd, 2003 8:34:51 AM
Dylan flies back up to the top of the hole and settles on the edge chirping loudly to get everyones attention. Once most of the party is looking at him Dylan lifts one foot and drags it straight down, takes on step over, drags it straight down, takes one more step over and drags his foot and drags it in a circle.
Sly Foxx Thursday October 23rd, 2003 10:03:26 AM
"GEE? With Lorth rope, along with Ararmis rope and with My 50' rope. I'd think were close to the bottom, Right?" Sly asked with a smile.
Tratain Thursday October 23rd, 2003 1:07:32 PM
Tratain says "I don't look forward to climbing down that rope, I think I as well as Lorth will have to remove all of our armor to even make the attempt, that looks much to deep to chance falling."
Aramis AC 25 [Cat Grace +2 Dex, Endurance +4 Con, Potion +2 Cha, and Bull Str +2, Stoneskin 100hp for 100min] Thursday October 23rd, 2003 2:03:42 PM
Aramis watches Dylan scratch out the distance he assumes with a talon. "Looks like Dylan is saying 110 to the bottom or was that the halfway?" Aramis lets a pause between the two to give Dylan the chance to nod at the right one. 110 to the bottom? You're a corpse friend. Pipe down, I'll make do as always without you.
The Hole. (DM Jim) Thursday October 23rd, 2003 2:33:54 PM
More rope is pulled out and quickly knotted together. You know have 150 feet of rope for all of you to get to the bottom of the hole.
About that time Dylan comes back and starts scratching out something on the ground. Aramis picks it up real fast that he is scratching out the numbers 110 and surmises that it is 110 feet. Now he wonders if that is all the way down or just part way.
Edge Thursday October 23rd, 2003 7:42:42 PM
"Well, no sense worrying about it. You already know every room here is a death trap, so lets just get down there and make sure we all come back out alive."
Sly Foxx Friday October 24th, 2003 8:02:55 AM
With a face of utter disbelief Sly comments "Your Right! Edge! Let's go, I'll be right behind you."
Lorth AC 32 (STONESKIN 100 HP) Friday October 24th, 2003 8:59:45 AM
"I'd go if I knew the rope would touch the bottom. How about throwing it down there and trying to see.", Lorth offers.
Tratain Friday October 24th, 2003 12:47:21 PM
Tratain waits for his turn to head down the rope. He will remove his armor for climbinb down the rope as he will definetly fall if he doesn't.
To Boldly Go. (DM Jim) Friday October 24th, 2003 3:21:07 PM
Edge slips down the rope first, after a little discussion. Those that want can follow after him.
If Dylan flies back down the hole and should go to the bottom, he will find that the rope is too short. If Edge gets down to the end of the rope first he will find that he cannot feel the floor, even when hanging from the knot at the bottom.
[climb DC 16]
Sly Foxx Friday October 24th, 2003 5:16:00 PM
Sly look down the hole, All he sees is Edge going down, he's getting smaller and smaller. Unable to wait any longer, "I'll go next to proteck Edge, ofcourse." Sly slip down the hole and climbs down to where Edge has stop, "Why have you stop, Edge??"...
Aramis AC 25 [Cat Grace +2 Dex, Endurance +4 Con, Potion +2 Cha, and Bull Str +4, Stoneskin 100hp for 100min] d4+1=4 Friday October 24th, 2003 5:32:48 PM
Aramis considers waiting for confirmation on the depth, but realizes his only hope for survival is to be fully healed and stronger for the climb.
"Anyone have a minor curing potion or wand?"
Aramis then issues forth a small dark chant, his eyes alight a subtle crimson his body quakes slightly as blood vessels and muscle swell across him. [Bull Str 4]
Dylan Friday October 24th, 2003 10:55:05 PM
Dylan chirps when Aramis states halfway and flutters his wings. His message recieved the druid takes flight again and plunges down the hole.
Edge d20+5=16 d20+5=24 Saturday October 25th, 2003 11:04:56 AM
While holding on with one hand and both feet, edge reaches into his pack and grabs his 50' of rope. He makes a dc 16 check to tie his rope onto the end of the rope that is already hanging, and a dc 24 dex check to keep from falling.
Lorth AC 32 (STONESKIN 100 HP) Monday October 27th, 2003 8:36:14 AM
Lorth looks at Aramis, "Looks like we are going down, sooner than later." He then starts to take off and stow away his armor.
Tratain Monday October 27th, 2003 11:43:26 AM
Tratain says "Can anyone cast feather fall? or Levitate or Fly? Using magic will probably be alot safer than us trying to climb down."
Tratain follows Lorth's Example and begins taking off and packing away his armor so he has a better chance of making it down the rope.
The decent into the Black Hole. (DM Jim) Monday October 27th, 2003 5:26:37 PM
Edge makes it to the bottom of the rope and notices that he cannot feel the bottom, even hanging from the end of the rope. With a thought he ties on another fifty feet of rope and drops it on down the hole.
Some of you have started following him down the hole as the others prepare themselves for an easier decent. The talks of using spells to get down is still being discussed by some.
Dylan flies back down the hole after getting his message across. He finds that the hole travels on for another fifty feet, for a total of 210 feet to the bottom. Exiting the hole he finds the area unbearably hot and pitted with holes of boiling orange liquid in them.
[Anyone going down the rope will owe me two climb checks at DC 16 or fall. You may make strength checks to stop the fall four times at DC 14, DC 15, DC 16 and DC 17.]

Aramis assists any who are removing armor and will wait to be the last one to descned the rope.
As the others begin thier climb he drly cracks, "When you get to the bottom don't dilly dally, I'll be plummeting into the ground there about shortly. I'll give a holler."
After the last character dissappears down the rope, Aramis waits sitting cross legged near the hole trying to think positive.
One word moron, Kersplat. Quiet. I need no reminding. So you say. I may get lucky like last time. You may not.
Aramis stands and lowers himself down...[climb 19] That's about the halfway point...[climb 13] Sonova Aramis slips and quicly grabs again for the rope...[Str check 22] and grabs ahold. A few steadying breaths before he continues...[climb 24] Finally he makes it to the bottom. Now that wasn't such a chore. he he he

Appolo starts down first half goes well,then suddenly he loses his grip and falls he fall several feet before finally grabbing hold and stopping himself and making the final decent. Standing and the bottom breathing heavily."Well that was fun,let's do it agian."
Dylan Monday October 27th, 2003 11:11:27 PM
As the others climb down the rope Dylan flies down to the bottom and waits flying in a looping figure 8 until he sees his friends descend safely.
Sly Foxx d20+6=11 d20+4=19 d20+6=20 Tuesday October 28th, 2003 9:08:12 AM
"What your putting more rope on?" Sly will wait till Edge is finish and on his way down. Sly starts down again and silps (dc11), falls down wward. Sly grabs at the rope again(Str 19) makes it. "OH! Great! I scared myself so much that I forgot my spider climb spell, Well I'll go down the old fashion way, hand over hand." Sly decends to the bottom. "Boy! it's hot down here! Does anybody have some cool water?"
Lorth AC 32 (STONESKIN 100 HP) d20=19 d20=8 d20+2=22 d20=12 Tuesday October 28th, 2003 9:50:04 AM
Lorth fastens all his gear to his back and starts to lower himself down the rope. (Climb: 19) He rests a second at the halfway mark, then continues on... (Climb: 8) and slips... (Str: 22) For a few feet, then he easily arrests himself. He calms himself then starts again and... (Climb: 12) slips again...and falls to the bottom. (Need falling damage from somewhere just below the halfway mark)
Edge d20+14=29 d20+14=27 Tuesday October 28th, 2003 11:22:47 AM

After stowing his armor Tratain begins to try and climb down the rope and immedietly slips off and begins falling, but after a few feet he manages to catch himself. He tries to slide down the rope again but again slips and begins falling but manages to catch himself. Tratain then slips off the rope and isn't able to catch it again and plumits to the bottom.

Aramis, Appolo, Dylan, Sly and Edge make it to the bottom with few problems. They are met by the sight of a large cavernal area that is filled with pockets of bubbling orangeish liquid. It is unbearably hot in this cavern and you will be glad to get out of it...a cool drink of water would be nice as well.
Lorth and Tratain both have very bad luck as they lose thier grips and are unable to arrest thier fall. Many things pass through their minds as they fall the last little bit (damage Lorth 13, Tratian 16).
[Aramis, Appolo, Dylan, Sly and Edge are needing to do a Reflex DC 13 or be hit by one or both of the two that fell.]
[Once everyone is down you need an initial Fortitude DC 20 or blisters start forming on your exposed skin.]
[Added the damage that I forgot. Got to putting together the rest and forgot to hit the dice button.]

Tratain gets up unsteadily and begins to put his armor back on for the journey onwards.
OOC: How much damage? it doesn't say in the post
Lorth AC 32 (STONESKIN 90 HP) Wednesday October 29th, 2003 9:21:01 AM
Lorth hits the ground with a thud. "Ouch, next time I am bringing flying potions." He then begins to put on his armor.

Dylan is able to get out of the way before Lorth and Tratain fall the last part of thier trip down. You see an opening leading into out in the far wall.
Sly is not so lucky as he finds Lorth and then Tratain both landing on top of him (damage 23). That will teach him to ask what could happen next.
Lorth and Tratain find themselves laying on top of Sly who groans under the combined weight. They both slowly get up off of Sly and then start to put back on thier armor. The offer to help Sly up off the ground with apologies.
Aramis thanks the gods that he was not already down as he might have gotten fallen on. He tries to hide a smile and not laugh. It all stops as blisters start to form on his skin. He looks on with horror as they start to pop (damage 9).
[2 Reflex DC 24 to get through room, Fortitude DC 24 for half damage from more blisters]
[Aramis is -2 to hit and -2 to AC from the blisters]
Sly Foxx d20+7=24 d20+7=26 d20+7=13 Thursday October 30th, 2003 5:46:41 AM
After Sly get's to his feet, Sly see that there's two exits on the far wall(they seem to merge into one another then part again) Sly ask "Which exit do we take? the left one? or the right one? OH! never mind there's only one there now! Let's get out of here NOW! owww!" sly welp in pain as a blister pops.

Edge makes his reflex (21) and fortitude(20) going down the rope.He then begins moving towards the exit.reflex check of (28) and then a horrible (15). His fortitude holds up for now against any blisters(25).
(there is 30 up there because for some reason unknown to me I rolled a d20+24. If only my saves were that high.)

Lorth finishes putting on his armor, looks at Aramis and says, "You don't look so good, perhaps we should get out of here." He then heads for the door... (Reflex 23/23 both missed by 1! and Fortitude 30)
Dylan d20+9=26 d20+9=24 d20+9=25 d20+3=18 Thursday October 30th, 2003 9:47:12 AM

Tratain says "I agree, lets get out of this room as quickly as possible."
Tratain heads for the door and is only partially successful at avoiding the damgerous areas of the room and is not able to fend off the blisters.(Made one of two reflex saves and failed the Fort save.)

Finally after a little tricky maneuvering you get to the other side of the room and look into the passage. It lead off into another lsightly lit room.
You can still feel the heat on your backs and that is making you all the thirstier, but the room ahead is cooler by far. Dylan sees nothing out of the ordinary as he looks into the room. It appears to be open as far as he can see with another way straight ahead.

Painfully he makes his way across the room. [reflex 21,8 Fort 14,16] doh

Lorth AC 32 (STONESKIN 90 HP) Friday October 31st, 2003 7:50:34 AM
Lorth makes his way across the room. Checking to make sure everyone is going to make it. "I'm going to need a bit of healing when we get out of the room, please."
(If Aramis falls down or needs help, Lorth drags him across too. I just saw you bad saves :( )

The group makes it across to the other room. Dylan taps Aramis for a little healing as he makes it across. Tratain does the same for himself after getting into the next room.
Glancing around the room you notice that there are a lot of dark patches. Some of you notice that something gauzy seems to brush against your face and hands. Still you see nothing out of the ordinary, except for some bones scattered out around the room.

Aramis takes 33 damage for crossing room. Appolo takes 14 damage for crossing room.
Appolo takes 6 damage from blisters.

Appolo is breathing heavy and has a few burns after crossing the roomhe looks into the other. "Well first they trie to frie us now they're going to freeze us great."
Sly Foxx Saturday November 1st, 2003 7:47:21 PM
"They think were bake enough, now it's the deep freeze for us?? Sound just like them devils> I hate to ask,Could some one hit me with the cure wounds wand, after those bodies falling on me, I need a little jolt, please!" said Sly as he rubs his arms and back.
Edge Sunday November 2nd, 2003 5:22:26 PM
I suppose I could use a little healing as well, but help others who are more injured first.
Lorth AC 32 (STONESKIN 90 HP) Monday November 3rd, 2003 8:28:47 AM
"I also could use quite a bit of healing, please.", Lorth says. "Seems I burnt my legs pretty bad on the lava."

Tratain heals Lorth with his wand for 10 points.

"Guys, I could really use some help here," he says weakly.
Standing in the doorway. (DM Jim) Monday November 3rd, 2003 4:03:06 PM
After a quick discussion about the need for healing, it is soon passed along. The room you have just entered is not really cold as much as cool. Compared to the room you just left it would be a vacation.
You can see another way through across this fery room that is filled with brighter light. Anyone with the ability to see better in low-light will notice that there are skeletons hanging near the ceiling as well. In places you can make out patterns of what could be rope strung around.
Sly Foxx Monday November 3rd, 2003 7:18:11 PM
Sly enters a little wearry, he (being a halfelf has low light vision) looks around, "WOW! look up there? look like skeletons, just hanging there. Speaking of hanging what are these ropes stroung?? Must be a trap??"
Lorth AC 32 (STONESKIN 90 HP) Tuesday November 4th, 2003 7:49:26 AM
"Thanks for the healing Tratain. Could you hit me twice more, after you take care of Aramis, I'll wait, I really took a beating back there." Lorth waits, to be fully healed before continuing on.

The sorceror sighs happily as he's healed, "Oh, that's a bit better. One more like that and I'll be tip-top."
After (hopefully) getting healed again, the man is ready to follow to wherever.
A plan of action. (DM Jim) Tuesday November 4th, 2003 3:50:24 PM
Dylan passes out some more healing as he waits to get everyone to a better position for possible combat. Sly comments on the skeletons hanging from what appear to be ropes, though small.
From the looks it seems that they will have another obstacle to overcome.

"Ahhhh".
He gets up. "Okay, let's go!"

You start to make your way out into the room, moving slowly as you do. Glancing in all directions you try to spot anything out of place (Spot check from everyone but Dylan).
The sandy ground crunches lightly under your feet but otherwise nothing happens yet. You make it part way across, about a fourth of the way.
Suddenly Aramis and Edge feel something seem to fall over them (touch attack: 20/16). It is gauzy to your touch and slightly sticky if touched. You will notice that it does not want to let go too easily from your skin or clothing.
Appolo HP:73/76 AC:27 d20+9=12 Wednesday November 5th, 2003 4:51:38 PM
Appolo makes his way through then notices Aramis and Edge get something dropped on them. He walks over to them and examines the substance"You know this stuff looks likespider webbing.Spiders!!" Appolo immediately goes on the defensive."We could use a fireball about now straight up." He looks around but doesn't see anything.
Sly Foxx d20+5=24 Wednesday November 5th, 2003 8:14:12 PM
"Oh! Appolo,I wish you didn't say that word, Giant Spider" Sly will look up (Spot ac 24)and let fly a fire ball (if he see any monster there. "El furo roundo" Sly utters the magic words.

"Lorth old buddy old pal mi compadre. That is an excellent idea. I can only think of one thing holding us up there." Aramis looks at t the webbing holding him fast where he and Edge stand.
"I need the use of my hands to cast spells. Anyone know of how to get us out without bodily harm?"
Burning Webs. (DM Jim) Thursday November 6th, 2003 11:12:12 PM
Sly spots a bit of movement that appears to have legs up high in the webs. He fires off his fireball and the webs go up in flames suddenly illuminating the room for a couple of minutes.
Aramis and Egde find themselves suddenly engulfed in a short burst of flames as the webs go up (damage 1d6).
Tratain spots four huge spiders drop in the way of them getting into the next room. The slowly advance on you mandibles clattering.
You know that you have just a few minutes before the huge spiders will be upon you.
Lorth AC 32 (STONESKIN 90 HP) Friday November 7th, 2003 8:53:20 AM
Lorth readies his shield and runs to the front of the party. He sets his sword awaiting the spiders advance.

You make yourselves ready as the spiders scuttle forward to join combat. The spider split to go two-on-two with Lorth and Tratain.
Huge Spiders A&B flank Lorth as he stands his ground. Spider A attacks from the left trying to bite him through his armor (hit: 26, damage: 13, fort DC 24 for poison). Spider B bites at him from the front as well (hit: 27, damage: 13, fort DC 24 for poison).
Huge Spiders C&D flank Tratain as he stands his ground near Lorth. Spider C scuttles forward to bite at any exposed flesh that he can find (hit: 32, damage: 14, fort DC 24 for poison). Spider D flanks him from the right side as he too brings fangs to bear on flesh (hit: 20, damage: 16, fort DC 24 for poison).
The flames die out of the last lingering webs that are around. Aramis finds himself fighting off some more webs as they fall from the ceiling (str DC 22 to break free). Dylan finds himself also engulfed in a set of webs too (str DC 22 to break free). Anyone looking up will notice that a pair of huge spiders are still hanging from the ceiling.
Appolo's second arrow thuds into Spider A as it charges forward to attack Lorth. Though it does not keep burning for more than a few seconds after hitting.
Sly flings off a pair of magic missiles at Spider C as it closes on Tratain. The missiles find the spider easily as it twists a little to avoid them.

Tratain catches one attack on his shield but the other spider manages to get through his defenses, but Tratain is able to fight off the Poison released by the spider (Fort save 28).
Seeing that Spider(c) was hit already Tratain focus's his attacks on that one. (Hit AC 22 for 9 points of Damage. His AC 20 for 14 Points of Damage)
Dylan d20+1=7 Tuesday November 11th, 2003 12:52:13 PM

Aramis' eyes go a bit wide at the size of the spiders moving about the party. "OK enough fun with silly silk." With a burst of power, the sorceror rips the webbing from him and with an upward glance smiles at teh creature above.
"While fire is fun, how about we not set the room ablaze...Arlto Shim" Moisture seems to pull from the very air about Aramis as he touches his thumbs together with fingers spread wide. Then in the blink of an eye, a great cone of frost and ice rips upward into the 2 spiders hanging in the webs. [Reflex DC 23 50'cone for 31]

Lorth blocks both the spiders attacks, a thick black ichor drips from his shield. Switching his stance to offensive he stumbles a bit answering with two feeble attacks... (Hit: 19/13 Damage: 10/12)

Tratain takes the one attack off his shield but is unable to stop the other attack. The wound only burns for a second as his body fights off the poison. He answers with a pair of attacks himself. Both blows connect with the spider's rubbery upper body.
Dylan continues to twist in the web that he is caught in to no avail. He just cannot seem to get enough behind it to break free.
Aramis is able to break free of the webs holding him and then lets loose a blast of icy shards at the ceiling to cut into the spiders.
Appolo steps up beside Lorth to aid him in his battle with the huge spiders. He brings his sword cutting in at the spider cutting deep into their flesh.
Sly lets another set of magic missiles fly into huge spider A. Then looks at Aramis wishing that he had that spell.
Lorth is able to block both of the huge spider's attacks with his shield, leaving black ichor on it's face. His sword is reflected by the rubbery skin and he falls back a little.
Huge Spiders A&B flank Lorth as he stands his ground. Spider A attacks from the left trying to bite him through his armor (hit: 15, damage: 17, fort DC 24 for poison). Spider B bites at Appolo as he moves up to assist Lorth (hit: 25, damage: 8, fort DC 24 for poison).
Huge Spiders C&D flank Tratain as he stands his ground near Lorth. Spider C scuttles forward to bite at any exposed flesh that he can find (hit: 21, damage: 16, fort DC 24 for poison). Spider D flanks him from the right side as he too brings fangs to bear on flesh (hit: 14, damage: 16, fort DC 24 for poison).
Huge Spiders E&F find themselves hit by ice shards fired off by Aramis. Findig their footing a little harder now they lower themselves to the floor.

"I got the two from the ceiling. How you guys doing on the front?" Aramis adjust his position slightly so both spiders [E&F] fit into another icey cone.
"Arlto Shim" Again the air coaleses about his hands before erupting into a geysering cone of super cooled air and ice. [Reflex 22 39 damage]

Sly was hoping to take out all the spider webs around every thing that it hold around this room, Will take his long sword(he had it in his hand) and will swing the sword with all his might(so the sword won't get stuck in the web). If the web is not cut the first slash(ac 28) he will back slash(ac15).

Aramis is able to take out both of the spider that had been lowering themselves from the ceiling.
Dylan is unable to break the webbing that is wrapped around him and he grows frustrated.
Tratain is able to avoid both blows again. He counters with a pair of attacks of his own, both finding places to bite into the spider's body.
Lorth is also successful in guarding himself from the spider attacks. He fares a little worse with his attacks as one goes wild and the other connects.
Sly spins and brings his sword cutting into the spider web that holds Dylan. He is able to cut him free with the loss of a dozen of Dylan's hairs from his head.
Appolo from his place by Lorth brings his own weapon cutting into the other spider. His first attack is good while his second one goes wide.

Aramis surveys the fight going on with Lorth and Tratain on the four spiders about them. While they seem to have things well in control a little help certainly would not hurt.
With a word of power, Aramis points to a spider on Tratain [spider D] and five bolts or green black energy lash out, impacting unerringly into its body. [magic missile 20 damage]

Sly slowly moves forward to engage one of the spider, firing off a series of magic missiles as he goes.
Dylan now free inquires if anyone needs healing. He does not seem too bothered by the haircut.
Aramis having gotten the two other spiders under control now turns his attention to one of the ones attacking Tratain. He also fires off a series of black energy missiles at a spider.
Tratain is able to avoid one of the spiders but the other bites into him leaving poison behind. Luckily his body is able to fight it off again. He strikes back with a pair of well aimed blows.
Appolo takes a hit from the spider and feels a burning sensation in his wound. It slowly fades to nothing as his body is able to fight off the invading poison. He retaliates with a pair of blow, but only one is able to find a place to cut the spider.
Huge Spiders A&B Spider A attacks from the left trying to bite Lorth through his armor (hit: 16, damage: 15, fort DC 24 for poison). Spider B bites at Appolo from his position near Lorth (hit: 22, damage: 8, fort DC 24 for poison).

Much to Dylan's surprise a pair of spider seem to appear out of thin air. Both of them are moving straight towards him. Spider1 comes in from the right side biting at his side (hit: 32, damage: 21, fort DC 30 for poison). Spider2 comes in from the left to attack from that side aiming just a little higher (hit: 29, damage: 14, fort DC 30 for poison).
Another pair of spider appear out of nowhere to attack Aramis as well. Spider3 makes a grab at Aramis's leg, trying to grab him (hit: 24, damage: 17, fort DC 30 for poison). Spider4 takes a shot at Aramis's other leg, trying to grab him too (hit: 34, damage: 17, fort DC 30 for poison).

Dylan grimaces as the spiders both connect the mandibles driving deeply inside of him and the poison briefly burning, then disapating <Immune to all poisons> as his body reacts quickly to nutralize it. Dylan backs away from the two attacking spiders and defensivly casts Produce Flame, hurling the orb at the first spider hitting AC 31 for 12 points of damage.

Despite teh magical protections wrapping him, Aramis feels the fangs of these two new and sudden opponents piece his flesh. A horrid burning sensation wracks his body as the poison of both creatures run unchecked through his system. [Fort 28 Fail and 13 fail]
Sinking to a knee and knowing his time here is almost up, Aramis grits his teeth for is likely his last spell...
His hair stands on end and crackles about sounding as of a life all its own as words of power pour from his mouth, "Ulmich Da Chvin." His face contorts as the power builds and his muscle tense from strain and just before the breaking point, violet-white arcs of electical tendrils leap forth from his hands. the bands lash out seeking to entrap the spider in a great 10 wide net of energy his a squeeling hiss.

Sly is able to connect twice on the spider with his sword. It seems that he is living up to his word.
Lorth also finds his luck working for him as he attacks a spider. He inquires about Aramis and how he is doing.
Dylan grimaces under the assault but knows that the poison will have no effect on him. Hit strikes back at the spider trying to take it out.
Tratain can only hope that they have this good of luck to the end. His weapon finds a hold on the spider, mashing it down.
Aramis feels the poison burning inside of him as he pulls a spell out of his bones. He fries the spider to his one side with lightning.
Appolo slices once into his target and finds his other blade missing. Still it was a telling blow and he seems happy.
Huge spider A rolls onto it's side and twitches.
Huge spider B rolls over onto it's side as well and seems to crumble in on itself.
Spider C is dead.
Huge spider D tries once again to bite into Tratain (hit: 16, damage: 14, fort DC 24 for poison).
Huge Spiders E&F are dead.
Spider1 phases out and then reappears near Lorth, biting at his back (hit: 33, damage: 17, fort DC 30 for poison).
Spider2 bites at Dylan again tyring to inflict more damage (hit: 32, damage: 16, fort DC 30 for poison).
Spider3 bites down on Aramis's leg again, trying to inject more poison into him (hit: 38, damage: 19, fort DC 30 for poison).
Spider4 phases out and then reappears near Sly. It takes a bite at the back of his right leg(hit: 24, damage: 16, fort DC 30 for poison).
[Edge - Just jump in. We will say that you were at the back of the group doing something...making checking out something in the other room.]

After the bolt leaves his hands, he smiles breifly while still paused on his one knee.
"Thought this would last longer." He vaguely stares at his one hand, which has taken an thin stringed necklace with a woman's ring on it from under his shirt. "Coming." The burning sensensation and pain subsides as a peaceful glaze takes his face and he crumples over backwards without another sound except for a sickening thud as he hits the stone.
Aramis never even knows the spider continued the attack.

Lorth shrugs off the spiders attack, "Damm you", he mutters under his breath. He moves over to Aramis quickly, ignoring everything else. "Domi protect us." A bluish, white light surrounds his hand as he touches Aramis.

Aramis knows pain for the briefest of seconds before the cold hand of death takes him in her embrace.
Dylan smokes the spider attacking him as he sees Aramis go down. Both balls of flame hit it square in the face.
Lorth rushes to Aramis's side to hit him with a delayed poison and finds him dead already.
Sly slashes into the new spider that attacks him, twirling to make another attack on it. Both of his sword attacks hit the spider for major damage.

We are now down to four players it looks like. So I must make a decision to involves you. I must request a little imput from those that are left. Please choose one of the following choices for the game and tell me what you think as well.
1) Do you want to make a retreat from the tapestry to find a couple more players to help you out?
2) Do you want to skip to the end of the module after this fight is over?
3) Do you just want to end the module as it stands at this point?
Those are the choice that Jerry and I came up with since we have lost so many players. I should warn you that at this time it will be very difficult to beat the end battle with only the four of you. Not impossible but very hard.
Please let me know what you think and what you would choose for this game.

Finding them selves daown to only four in this Party,Sly prays for the help of Domi, even he is close to dying. His elven blood won't let him quit. He will attack any spider in his range of combat. Swish this way(ac32) and swish that way(ac16). he stagers, droping to one knee, droping his sword(hoping it has spider juce on it)and then he fall pron(hp-4).
Spider Bites. (DM Jim) Monday December 1st, 2003 6:28:31 PM
Lorth smashes into the spider as he yells that it is for Aramis.
Dylan feels the bite of the spider and is about to say something as he topples over. He dies gurgling on his own blood.
Sly makes his own series of attack as he feels his strength ebbing. He finds himself slipping to the floor of the cave, sword clattering on the ground.
There is a sudden clatter as a group of bones start pulling themselves together. Out of the bones are formed four skeletal warriors. They surround the group as the spiders back off.
Huge spiders A&B&C&D&E&F are dead.

Escape to the next room. (DM Jim) Thursday December 4th, 2003 11:27:53 PM
While the spiders are being occupied with the skeletons you all make a beeline for the next room. Breathing a sigh of relief you look around and find another great hole before you.
[Ok, here it is once again folks. Do you want to go out and recruit new help or ocntinue on with only the four of you? I am still not sure if just the four of you can do the last battle or not, but if you pick up more players you will see two more round of combat. One normal battle and then the end, so that tells you how close you are to the final battle anyways.]

Down the Hole and to the Door. (DM Jim) Monday December 8th, 2003 3:39:14 PM
You make it down the hole with no problems and find a set of large doors before you. A quick test finds them locked and another puzzle beside it on a plaque.
"An erinyes and a pit fiend have six sons and each son has one sister. hown many devils are in that family?"
The area seems to be very secure and nothing seems to be coming through that door anytime soon.
Appolo Hp76 Ac 27 Monday December 8th, 2003 7:23:02 PM
"I suggest we rest here for alittle and then figure out the puzzle." Appolo says.
Sly Foxx Monday December 8th, 2003 8:20:44 PM
"Right, Appolo, I need a little rest" Then he pat's his tummy,"Does anyone have a cookie??"
Lorth Tuesday December 9th, 2003 9:40:20 AM
"Friends, I think we should take a quick rest to refresh ourselves before going on. Also, I beleive that both Pit fiends and Erinyes are devils so the riddle isn't a trick. That leaves me to believe that the answer is seven if you count only the kids and nine if you count the whole family. Two parents, six brothers and one sister."
"Is anyone hurt?" (OOC: If so, Lorth lays on hands for 30 healing)

Getting ready for the big one. (DM Jim) Tuesday December 9th, 2003 10:13:44 PM
A good time spent resting see you all ready to take on whatever is behind the door. With a last look at the hole leading back up you all make your way to the door. You give another look to the door and find that the only way to open it is to answer the riddle.
"An erinyes and a pit fiend have six sons and each son has one sister. hown many devils are in that family?"
Looking to the plaque that is beside the riddle you see nine gold bars with numbers on them. A closer look reveals the numbers; 10, 9, 13, 7, 15, 6, 11, 8, 14. You are not sure how many chances you have to get this right or if you only have one chance.
Lorth Wednesday December 10th, 2003 7:37:10 AM
(Lorth heals sly for 30 before they fall asleep)
"I beleive the answer is nine for my reasons stated before we rested. Anyone else have any ideas?"

Sly talks in his sleep "Nine zzz Yes zzz nine zzz that's the zzz number nine"
Appolo Hp76 Ac 27 Wednesday December 10th, 2003 3:00:18 PM
Appolo agrees"Yes 9.That sounds right.It just depends on what kind of creature a erinyes is."
Coming to a decision. (DM Jim) Wednesday December 10th, 2003 8:57:22 PM
Having come to what could only seem to be a unamimous decision on the groups part. The plate with the number 9 is picked up and slid into the slot on the plaque.
With a rumbling the doors slide into the walls and you hear the roar of a giant crowd of people. The inside of the next room is brightly lit and there is no mistaking the general layout of it...it is a giant collaseum.
Lorth Thursday December 11th, 2003 8:14:53 AM
"Hmmm, now if that isn't strange. I suppose we just opened the door to the fighting pit."

Sly awakens "Snort! yawn!" get up on his feet and goes to stand next to Lorth, He takes one look " OH! This is going to hurt!"
The Arena. (DM Jim) Thursday December 11th, 2003 6:25:50 PM
Entering the arena you feel the unholy aura of all the devils sitting around. It is not a comforting feeling or a comforting sight.
Sitting in the stands are hundreds of devils as you enter. Much to your dismay they seem to be cheering for you as you enter, but as you listen closer they are cheering because the game can begin. Standing near the altars is the devil from earlier and behind him are the three elf maidens that you came to rescue.
On the far wall on a ledge/shelf are three little statues of the princesses that appear to be trophies. The devil, pit fiend, spreads his wings and lets out a roar of rage that is tinged with amusement. His muscles ripple as he flexes his claws and then with one finger gestures you to attack. "Come...let the real test begin."

The devil stands for a few minutes as it waits for you to do something (2 rounds). With a below of rage it charges towards the group it's large sword glowing with fire.
With a huge overhanded chop it brings it's sword smashing down on Sly's head (hit: 33, damage: 22). You can feel the intense heat from it's body as it leers into your faces, smiling all the time.
The princesses scream in fear and for help as they hear the fight begin. They soon start sobbing as they realize that you are facing off against the devil that captured them.
Sly Foxx Tuesday December 16th, 2003 6:55:50 AM

Lorth downs a potion as he calls for more buffing of the group to combat the situation.
With the activation of his boots he continues the boosting of the group for the fight.
Appolo slips behind the pit fiend and stabs him in the back or as close as he can get. His stabs are well place and do a fair amount of damage.
The pit fiend roars in rage as he is stabbed in the back. He swings around to face Appolo, his sword leading the way (hit: 21, damage: 22).

Lorth slams his weapon into the pit fiend, yelling as he does.
Tratain slams his warhammer into the pit fiend as well. He makes a good telling blow to the fiend, that rocks it.
Appolo turns to slash his own swords into the pit fiend untill he gets that better look. He then notices the insubstantial nature to it and he knows it is an illusion.
Sly slashes into the pit fiend after getting up off his knees. His slashes are accurate and on target as they draw line across the thing's skin and fiery blood spills out.

The Arena. (DM Jim) d100=98 Monday December 22nd, 2003 4:00:32 PM
You are all greatly surprised as laughter erupts from the princesses laying on the three slabs. You are even more greatly surprised as all three slowly stand, chains melting and falling away from them.
Their forms slowly change into that of three females with bluish grey skin. They wear chainmail bikini bottoms and tops, with flowing black hair. Thier ears are slightly pointed, like an elves, but thier teeth are pointed and thier eyes burn with an inner fire. Appearing in each one's hand is a longsword that glows faintly. "Such good little playthings..." One of them points and then laughs. "Ooooohhh...look a paladin...can I keep him." They other two laugh as they nod, then the oldest one speaks up. "I believe there are enough for all of us my sisters."
The devil filled arena erupts in laughter as all the devils roar in laughter and applause. They seem to be enjoying the scene very much and many of them are salivating with anticipation of what will come next.
The three hop off the stone slabs in unison, working almost like one. The one on the left looks into Sly's eyes and smiles a very charming smile. You fill a drag on your will as she continues to stare at you. The one on the right does the same to Appolo while waving him forward with her finger. You feel an almost irresistable need to go to her as if she is drawing you in. The last last she-devil seems to be concentrating on something but soon it appears that nothing is going to happen and she stamps her foot.

Tratain Deactivates His boots of speed as he approaches the She-Devils. He calls upon the power granted to him by his patron Domi as one of his protectors. He presents his holy symbol and shouts "Away Devil's! Bother us no more"

Sly cannot help himself but walk to the lovely creature before him. It is those lips that seem to draw him on...to know one kiss.
Appolo tries to mimic the actions of Sly and figures that he is doing a good job. If only he can get in close enough to make a play with his weapon and save Sly.
Lorth heads for the she-devil that has captured Appolo's attention, not realizing that she does not really have him in thrall. His weapon cuts a gash in her skin and she howls over it.
Tratain attempts to send the she-devil cowering in fear from them. His posture and tone all tell of a man sure of himself and the power of the god that backs him.
The she-devil calling Sly pulls him into her embrace and kisses him lightly on the lips. "I have a job for you...see these intruders...they seek to defile our home...our home." She purrs into his ear as she smiles at Sly and turns him towards his once friends (Cha DC 21).
The other she-devil watches as Appolo slowly approaches but she is suspicious as you seem to be following Sly. She takes a closer glance at you to confirm her suspicions (Sense Mortive 32). With a low catlike growl she pulls a length of rope from around her waist and throws it at Appolo (touch hit: 20).
The last she-devil hides her face from Tratain as she lets out a scream. You notice that there is laughter mixed in with it though. She suddenly turns on you and hisses loudly. "You think in this place you will see help...you are a fool of a protector." You see her throw her hands in the air and then throw her head back, howling to the nothingness.
From out of a black swirling hole that appears near the sacrificial slabs, appear four creatures. Thier brownish skin is most definitely retilian in nature, but they have the aura of evil around them. A full stragley beard surrounds their face and they gnash thier claws in anticipation of what is to happen. The biggest looks to the she-devil that called them and bows lightly. "You called us mistress?" His eyes flick to the party and he smiles, full well knowing why he was summoned.
The she-devil smiles and then nods. "KILL THEM...SLOWLY." It suddenly dawns on some of you that she-devil on occassion bring back dead victims to play with later.
[Sly - You can ignore that order if you beat her Cha check. You will still be under her control though.]
[Appolo - If the rope hits it will wraps itself around you and start to squeeze. Str DC 24 to break free of the rope.]

Sly advances closer and closer to those lushes lips, he is about to kiss her, (but Sly has taken one of his daggers from the small of his back). Sly's lips presses on the she devil's lips, puts his arm round her waist, pulling her to him and then sticks the dagger up into her rib cage, he's hoping to get her heart, but doughs if she has one.

Sly suckers the she-devil in and leans in close to kiss her. His lips (fort DC 22) on hers he slips a dagger into her, doing a little amount of damage.
Lorth and Appolo tag-team up on the other she-devil, hitting her from two sides.
Tratain also steps in and hits the same she-devil a little after Lorth and Appolo.
She-devilA finds herself in her chosen one's embrace but was not prepared for an attack. She snarls as she takes a step back. Her sword comes up in a stinging slash aimed at Sly (hit: 32/20, damage: 7/4).
She-devilB snarls as her rope misses it's target. With a look of pure furry she rushes forward at Tratain, her sword leading the way (hit: 29/28, damage: 6/11).
She-devilC takes a series of blow from three different people in short order. She starts to buckle under the combined attacks, but somehow keeps her feet. She pulls up her sword and tears into Appolo (hit: 32/12, damage: 11/5).
Tearing thier eyes from thier mistress the three newly summoned devils, turn on the companions. They all charge at the group of three as they attack the she-devil, but one slips the other direction towards Sly.
Devil1&2 brings thier claws in to rend at Lorth's body from two directions. Thier claws seem to be dripping a black ooze (hit: 20/30, damage: 10/12 ; hit: 35/13, damage: 15/16).
Devil3 smiles as it comes at Sly's back. It's claws lead it's charge as it slices at him (hit: 24/19, damage: 10/13).

Appolo slices into the she-devil with both of his swords. He smiles as they both cut deep and well.
Sly slices into his she-devil with a twirl of his sword. He is hurting badly and knows that this maybe the end if something does not turn.
Lorth fights through the pain from the claws and hammers into the she-devil seeing her as more of a danger.
Tratain, as if sensing something, turns on one of the summoned devils and hits him hard. It is a good blow but the first is a little confusing as it is not as solid a blow as he had hoped.
She-DevilA gasps as she snarls one last time. She slowly slips off of Sly's blade and slumps to the floor.
She-DevilB Snarls at Appolo and then lunges at him with her sword (hit: 25/19, damage: 8/6).
She-DevilC gets hit hard by Lorth and tries to make a slash at him, but finds only empty air as she continues forward toppling over.
Devil1 continues it's attack on Appolo as he turns on him to rend him with claws (hit: 17/24, damage: 13/9).
Devil2 slashes at Lorth with sharp black dripping claws (hit: 24/27, damage: 12/15).

Sly Starts getting excited at though of the Elven Princesses, BUT his smile fades when he also though of when the illusion faded into She Devils. "You know I don't like being made a fool of, If you want me dead, you squrges of the univerce, Come and get me." With this said , Sly will attack Devil2 while he's laughing, Hitting him for the first time(ac25- damage 11hp) then Sly pivets on the ball of his foot, putting out his shield (as he spines)then hit him again (attack ac19 - Damages 10hp I hope).

Appolo falls back into a defensive posture to give himself the opening he needs.
Sly twirls around as he spikes his sword once into the devil's side. His other stroke bounces off of the things skin.
Lorth continues his assault on the last she-devil as he maneuvers her around for Tratain. His sword bites into her flesh with a sickening effect as blood flows down her.
Tratain hits the she-devil from the other side, in time with Lorth. His sword cuts into her hitting something vital.
The roar in the arena goes to a deafening pitch as the battle turns in favor of the small group. Many of the devils come to thier feet and beat against the sparkling blue wall that seperates them from the arena. You feel something untanglible seem to settle around the whole arena. It is a feeling really, but you know that all of your magic/magical equipment just stopped working.
She-DevilA is dead.
She-DevilB falls to the floor from the viscious attacks that have fallen on her.
She-DevilC is dead.
Devil1 looks up at the crowd before launching itself at Appolo (hit: 31/27, damage: 12/10).
Devil2 can feel the slight change in thier fortune and throw himself even more visciously at Lorth (hit: 22/28, damage: 13/13).
Devil3 is dead.
[This will have no effect on your weapons, they will still hit the devils. Everything else has been negated though. Your weapons have lost their pluses but are still able to hit the devils. Sorry, that was rather confusing. Hope that this will help]
Joe/Tratain - Need Clarification Friday January 9th, 2004 12:38:45 PM
I'm rather confused about your last statement, does it mean our weapons are still magic and we should count The Plus's for hit and damage? or that they aren't magic but we can still hit the Devil's with them.

The Arena. (DM Jim) Tuesday January 13th, 2004 9:25:20 PM
The last two devils drop to the combined assault of the companions.
To your surprise the marbles given to you materialize in the middle of the arena and come together to make one hazy pink portal in the middle of the coliseum. The dolls begin to softly glow in a bluish light, floating off the ledge/shelf to land on the floor before the assembled heroes. They gradually enlarge and take on the more lifelike appearance of the true elven princesses that they are. All the time that this is going on the devils in the stands start to disappear in flashes of red smoke and howls of laughter. The oldest princess steps forward and curtsies to you all, then looks up through long black lashes. "Tis an honor to meet a group so honorable to rescue someone they do not even know." Turning lightly to look at her sisters she nods and then steps through the portal, that do your further surprise shows the inside of the Giggling Ghost. The approach the second princess leads to another curtsy and she then bestows a kiss to the right cheek of everyone of the heroes. She leaves the scent of jasmine in the air as she walks to the portal nodding to the last princess and the youngest sister. The youngest sister looks to the heroes and blushes brightly as she steps forward. With some inner will she performs a not so perfect curtsy, then turns towards the portal and then through it.
[The portal does not close and will be your exit into the GG.]
Appolo Wednesday January 14th, 2004 12:12:52 AM
Appolo smiles and replies"It is our pleasure to be of some small service to such lovely ladies as yourselves,besides we live for this.Beating down deamons and big nasties is what we do for a living."He bows before them and then follows them through the exit.
Once back in the ghost he buys around of drinks for himself and his companions.
Sly (DM Jim for Ceil) Wednesday January 14th, 2004 7:52:45 PM
Sly accepts the kiss from the one princess and even blushes slightly. He watches each as they move on through the portal that has open and has a crazy smile on his face. "So that is what it is like to be kissed by a princess." With that goofy look still on his face he exits through the portal as well.
He can only hope that it will get better as they get into the GG. Maybe he can get another kiss or two...he can only hope.
Lorth Thursday January 15th, 2004 12:11:53 PM
Lorth accepts their thanks. "Think nothing of it, we would have continued on until none of us drew breath. I only feel remorse for out friends who did not make it." Lorth waits until everyone else crosses the portal then enters the GG last.
A Satyr d20+16=24 d20+21=30 Monday May 17th, 2004 2:07:45 AM
A haunting tune plays on the wind.
A fey sits, relaxed on a nearby rock, playing his pan pipes(Perform 24). His eyes are closed as he plays (Listen 30). There is a staff and backpack leaning against the stone nearby. His cloak billows in the breeze over the stone's surface. He wears worn and weathered leather armor. A clay chalice sits near his knees.
A spirit of the woods, translucent green, dances around the stone as the satyr plays (Cast Wood Wose, using rod, lasts 6 hours). Their is a very alert owl in a tree near the fey.
A Paladin d20=18 Monday May 17th, 2004 8:13:02 AM
A tired Paladin looking for a place to rest, hears in the distant?? Music, Beautiful music. He'll put on his cloak over his chainmail to stiffle the armor's noise. He is very young to be a paladin, very thin also, he look to only 150 pounds. His green eyes looking here and there, he come very near the a open patch of rocks and green grass, in the woods.
There sits a satyr on top a rock, playing the pan pipes. The Paladin will sit under the near by tree (hopefully unnotice). There Sir Henri will rest and listen to the beautiful music.
An Elf Monday May 17th, 2004 11:08:32 AM
An inquisitive looking elf listens to the satyr play his pipes for a bit then opens a pocket and calls out "Kuari!" Out of the pocket comes an Owl the size of a normal sized eagle, half again the size of a normal owl. This snowy white and silver owl flies up and then gracefully lands on the elf's right shoulder. The elf looks around then tells Kuari "stay alert and please don't pick on the other owl."
After a short while the elf looks over to the satyr and the paladin then introduces himself to them "Greetings, I am Aelanthir Willowholm and this is my best friend Kuari." as he scratches the owl's head right above the beak causing the owl to make a soothing "hoot."
A Young Half-Elven Lady Monday May 17th, 2004 1:25:53 PM
The lady has long wavy blonde hair which is worn loose. She has eyes the color of dark amber. The woman is clearly Half-Elven and does not look one wit like her brother. Her garb looks like fancy, well-made travel clothing. In the middle of her forehead; right where a mystic third eye might be found, is a small crystal with one wide flat facet edged by many small ones. The crystal is directly adhered to her skin. Around her neck she wears an unusual amulet. She arrives at the glen shortly after the Elf and stands next to him with arms crossed loosely in front of her. With an aloof look she takes in the scene. The haunting tune catches her interest as she absently reaches over and begins to scratch the large Eagle-owl's head right near one of the ear-tufts. She glances askance at her brother as he introduces himself to the strangers, and doesn't even bother to mention her. She waits with any personal introductions for the mean time since the man looks like he would rather be sleeping, and the satyr is providing the entertainment. She smiles a little and begins to hum the Satyr's tune very softly.
