Justin Webber (DM) Catacombs Thursday August 5th, 2004 8:53:31 PM
The group after gearing up is lead through some hall ways till they reach a small room where High priest Bale looks to a heavy wooden door set into the floor. After alittle bit Bale leans down and undoes the heavy masterwork lock on the door and lifts the lid with some heavy grunting. After getting the lib completely up you notice a thick sheet of metal attached to the under side of the door.
Bale looks to the group and smiles, "I'm sorry, I forgot about your one question. You see, the armory is a few rooms from this one and it was one of the rooms raided by the drow elves."
Bale motions to the large stone stairs leading down some dozen feet. The steps are some what sttep but also roughed on the top for some footing and they look dry so there is little chance of slipping. You do notice after a long way of darkness that below is light flickering and Bale grins, "We have placed magical torches to light the catacombs some months back before the drow attack. I guess they don't feel like taking them down since we already know they are there."
You hear no sounds coming from the stairway that is revealed yet anyway and see no sign of threat as of yet either.
(OOC:Thank you for going to keep track of the items and such Dom.)
Tyal [HP: 49/49, AC: 21] [darkvision] Thursday August 5th, 2004 9:54:45 PM
Tyal gathers up his gear from the room that he left it in and double checks to make sure that everything is adjusted right. He makes his way down to the catacombs entrance to stand with the others.
The darkness does not hinder him much as he can see quite well in the darkness. Positioning himself further towards the fore of the group this time, he takes a spot about the third or fourth person in. "Watch the ceilings as well...a favored tactic of the drow that one is." He smiles in the coming light as his armor chagnes to a darker set of clothes that gives him alittle more edge.

The satyr takes up a position near the front of the group as they move. (move silently 32, listen 27 and spot 35, low light vision) He leaves no tracks as he moves and looks for signs of recent movement (survival 31). He walks with his quarterstaff out, uncomfortable with all the talk of the abberant elves known as drow. These creatures were supposedly the most ruthless beings of the Underworld. Never having met a 'real' drow, Hart is uncertain what to expect. 'This party has a drow. I think. He doesn't seem all bad.' He thinks to himself.
Spirit hides in the satyr's hood.
Loran keeps his eyes open. (spot 40, dark vision and low light)

Then back to Hart with a pat to his shoulder, "I'll be right behind you." Marek descends the stairs on Hart's heels, weapon at the ready. [Spot 5]
Kashmari d20+2=14 Friday August 6th, 2004 4:14:25 PM
Kashmari is not overly worried about the dark at the moment. She knows that she will see well enough all in all. Also she is in a very good mood due to Henri's very favourable reaction towards herself earlier.
She takes a position in the middle of the group, but closer to the rear.
She sifts through her memories for any pertinent info on the drow, and doesn't really recall anything of great import about them at the moment. (wis 14)
Kashmari pays close attention to the area around herself - including the ceilings like Tyal mentioned. She is carrying several of her daggers and her morningstar; the daggers can be drawn and ready in a moments notice.

Justin Webber (DM) Catacombs Monday August 9th, 2004 7:08:54 PM
You all slowly move down the stairs and for a few mins except those who can see in the dark and the others who have some source of light you otherwise are in darkness and there is no sound but the occasional dripping of water somwhere in the distance of the catacombs.
At the bottom of the stairs you see that their are indeed torches hanging on the walls at regular intervals that have a flickering flame but do not seem to be burning down. A closer look will find thatthe flames also do not produce heat.
High priest Bale nods as he glances at the torches and whispers, "Glad to see they are still burning and not been ran off with. Took alittle money to afford all the materials to make thos."
The hallway extends a good 20ft ahead and then turns left. The walls a roughly carved and also contain pockets here and there where mostly wrapped bodies lay, clearly of dead clerics of Bahamut that were layed to rest in the catacombs. Some of the wrappings on some of the bodies have rotted away and here and their skeletal hands hang down which some have rings on them while others don't. The ones with rings on them look to be of little to no valued rings.
You still hear nothing ahead of you or even see nothing yet that looks out of place. The floor is wet but not really slick and this leaves no trace of dust or anything that would leave tracks.

Glancing to the others he shakes his head. "This has been a little easy so far." With a look around again he smiles as he silently hopes for some fun. "So the armory is which direction??"

Everyone moves on slowly through the hall way thats large enough for two people to stand side by side and still beable to fight.
You still hear nothing and the priests who are laid to rest here are all in the alcoves, some in better shape then others since the moisture and water in the catacombs sets a nice non presurving factor.
When you round the corner up ahead you can see down the 80ft hall ahead of you and see that the hall leads to a large open room ahead. The room looks to be well lit and High priest Bale looks up ahead and whispers, "That was the room we stored some of our relics in to honor those buried here. I don't think there was anything they would want in there though but we better be careful none the less."
Uphead you hear dripping of water but now and then the voice of a drow speaking though. They seem to be talking about the items they have found in the room or something else. (For those who can understand drow, you will know they are speaking of the junk relics here and how none of it's worth much.)

Kashmari d20+4=15 d20+4=23 d20+9=27 d20+9=23 Wednesday August 11th, 2004 5:49:42 PM
Kashmari peers into the distance to see who is speaking. The voices are not very loud so she moves nearer to the stone walls which should carry the sound better. She recognizes the language as being somewhat similar to a 'trade language' that she had learned long ago. Hopefully she will be able to understand a few words in order to get the gist of what they are talking about.
Kashmari pulls up her hood just a bit, but not enough to muffle her hearing. She stays close to the wall and very quietly edges closer to the room where the voices are coming from. She makes certain not to draw the attention of her companions as she sneaks down the hallway; being fairly well hidden in her stealth. Marek's clamour is more than adequate to conceal most anything she does.

Hears some mumbling but too faint to understand. But Marek who make silent jesters and moves a head, is making a lot of noise. Henri figures that with marek making noise, the paladin might as well follow behind him so Marek will not get killed.

Tyal realizes that the voices ahead are not any language that he knows and looks to the others to see if anyone knows anything. He tries to move as quietly as possible with his armor on and winces with the noise he makes. Still he figures maybe some of it is masked by the others in heavy armor as well.
He keeps his morningstar at the ready as he moves his small shield tighter to himself. It would appear that they group was preparing for an attack on the drow. Maybe they would catch them unawares, but not likely.

Justin Webber (DM) Drow Room Thursday August 12th, 2004 4:39:50 PM
The group slowly inches forward and when you get to peak into the room you see that the drow have been to busy to even notice anything at the moment.
Infact four drow are in one corner with a set of knucklebones and are rolling them and holding friendly or as friendly as drow get, wagers.
Another six drow are looking at a pile of what they said is junk and tossing pieces here and there. Among the pile of junk that you can see is mainly brass candle holder, some pottery, a few holy symbols but mainly made of wood or brass.
The room is very large and other then the junk and the few drow you see the walls are all lined with small pockets where a dead cleric lays wrapped in it's slowly rotting cloth. Some once again are not covered well as the cloth is rotten away and down one wall water steadily drips into a small forming pool. Straight ahead of the room is another doorway like the one you guys are coming from.
Aelanthir sees nothing invisble currently and so far you are un-noticed.
(OOC:Just to make a comment since I'm not sure if I miss read Eiras post. There is no other way into the room besides the entrance across the room. Moreless no way for you to get any other attack on the drow beyond the way you guys are coming.)

She will not enter to room proper, but linger at the enterance. Kashmari is too intent on listening to what the drow were saying to move as silently as she had before.

The group looks to hang back abit and prepare themselves when Fern flings her dagger at one of the drow's, hitting the man in side but causing little damage really.
Marek moves into the room and swings his chain, taking another of the gambling drow with the wicked attacks.
Namfoodle takes aim and fires a crowwbow quarrel and hits one of the drow looking over the temple items. Once again the attack causes little damage other then make the drow mad.
Aelanthir sees no spell casters in the group of drow in the room so just moves in as does the others of the group except those hanging back or hiding in shadows.

Kashmari concentrates on whichever drow is closest to both Namfoodle and Aelanthir (eventhough he is indeed invisible, Kashmari is making an "educated" guess on her brother's position). She quiets her mind and concentrates on kindling a flame on that particular drow's skin. That hapless drow is suddenly covered in a burning, silvery sheen of goo and the room echoes with the sound of flames popping and crackling.

The fight is officially on and almost everyone joins in to the attack as others move to find a good attack position etc.
Marek has moves in and attacked the drow gambling in the corner. Injuring a most of them more then they already were from previous attacks. (Drow#1,2,3,4)
Hart rushes in and attacks one of the drow who was looking over the junk, scoring a hit on him as Hart's owl also tries to attack but misses. (Drow#7)
Henri moves in and attack one of the gambling drows. Cutting a nasty gash on the drow. (Drow#3)
Namfoodle begins playing a song to help his companions out in the fight.
Kashmari concentrates on one of the drow and soon the drow is hollering as his skin begins to turn red, etc. (Drow#7. Saying etc since Eunice is doing a great job with the description.)
Mykell moves in and attacks one of the drow gambling also, slashing a nasty cut into it. (Drow#4)
The others are moving etc so sorry for not making more of a comment for now.
Drow#1 turns and grabs his longsword from the floor as he does. With lightning like slashes the drow slashes at Marek. (Can hit AC:25/25 Damage:5/11)
Drow#2 turns and also moves in on Marek, growling at him and savagely slashing at him as it speaks in drow, "You'll pay over worlder!" (Can hit AC:25/17 Damage:12/5)

Drow#6 also charges Hart, slashing at him in unison with Drow#5. (Can hit AC:22/12 Damage:9/8)
Drow#7 is alittle addled by the sudden burning of his skin so doesn't make a attack at the moment.
Drow#8 and #9 charge in at Tyal as he is to far away to move and attack all in one round.
Drow#10 has a suprise maybe not expected by everyone and a hand crossbow suddenly appear in each of his hands and he fires a pair of bolts at Namfoodle. (Can hit AC:30*crit missed*/10 Damage:5/6)
(OOC:A few things I have missed previously and sorry for that. Loretta, the catacombs is offlimits for buying stuff in this game. Drow elves also have their own language plus a hand language that they use.)

Kashmari continues to concentrate on psionically burning the drow enemy. She lets nothing distract her as she remains hidden just beyond the doorway; with an overview over the drow she is burning. The drow should be in complete agony, not to mention going half-insane watching himself blister, smolder and smoke!

Marek shifts and keeps his feet moving under him as the enemy swords find thier mark. A deep cut to his left arm, a line across his cheek and another mark to the shoulder. Marek quickly sidesteps and tries to keep some distance between himself and Drow#1 [Drow#1 is Dodge opponent] Biting down the pain, Marek snaps the great chain repeatedly, his arms pumping quickly in and out sending strikes at stomach level toward the 4 drow.

Tyal meets the charging drow with a smile that quickly turns to a sneer. "Inana be praised and blessed." He turns his shield to help in warding off the one drow as he brings his morningstar crashing in at the other one (hit: 25, damage: 10). He then takes a five foot step back to put some distance between his attackers and himself.

Marek feels his knees slack and the world about him tunnels to darkness as the 2 drow slice past his defenses. The pain is there, but not much, a small thanks on Mareks lips, At least they use sharp weapons
Before he falls though a silver light shines into the darkness about him and he feels a resurging strength coarse into his frame. Spitting blood from his mouth, "Not yet Gargul." he pushes back into the 4 drow, unemotional and unrelenting teh chain lashes out again at the four. [Hit AC13/26/18/31*crit*29* Dmg Miss/16/miss/36]

Tyal is able to take the first blow from the drow off his shield, but the second finds a way past his guard. Feeling the bite of steel into his flesh he concentrates harder on the other approaching drow and is able to block both blows with his shield.
His next attack goes wide of his target and he feels the onset of an ill omen. This does not bode well for the group against these more highly skilled fighters.

Kashmari focuses the burning on Drow#7 and it falls to the ground, screaming before going still and silent.

High priest Bale frowns at how well these drow have done on the party and mumbles under his breath slowly as he closes his eyes a moment. Soon each member of the party feel a sudden shimmering aura around them, giving them a +4 to AC.
(OOC:Brent, to help you out I will explain the combat alittle. The drow are high enough level to have two attacks in a round. Each attack to hit and damage is split by the / and the * show the critical to hit and in the damage area it shows the total damage done if a critical hits. I hope this helps out.)

I do not want any possible problems for Woldian gods used, the catacombs are off limits, you must buy stuff through me and during the correct times like between modules when you have access to a town or shops. I'm not aiming this at anyone but just making sure no possible problems arise in the future. Thank you all and I hope you all are and have been enjoying the game. I have many plans layed out for all of you and can't wait to see how you all continue on your character's path.)

She focuses on whatever drow she can see retreating out the back-door. After concentrating more intensly than usual she sends a burst of energy against the fleeing drow hopefully knocking him off of his feet. Oddly there is no tell-tale display this time.

Tyal takes a five foot step back away from the drow as they start to retreat. His eyes narrow as he takes in the situation and speaks up. Switching his morningstar to his other hand he gestures out at fleeing drow.
A concussive explosion of sound detonates in the doorway of the retreating drow. The next round he will either press the attack on the drow before him or take after the others. He does take the time to give Marek a nod of thanks for his help.

Fern attacks Drow#6, injuring him and causing the drow a nasty wound
Eiras moves and also attacks Drow#6, increasing the amount of damage on the drow and making him try to speed up his retreat faster.
Henri attacks Drow#3 and succeeds in injuring it more also.
Kasmari's attack succeeds in hitting her targets but all of the drow but Drow#8 seem to shrug off the damage from the blow.
Hart attacks and hits drow#6, weakening him farther, the drow now looking almost dead.
Aelanthir goes invisible and moves.
Marek swings his chain and the remaining retreating drow that he was damageing and succeeds in injuring Drow#1 before he turns his attention on Drow#9 and injures it more.
Tyal concentrates his attack on the doorway going into the hall leading to the next room that the drow are retreating through and injures and stuns two of the drow but the other is able to shrug it off.
Mykell moves and attacks, sending Drow#6 to the ground dead now.
The drow's retreat suddenly seems to stop and you hear a loud voice now which you have never heard before speaking.
Woman's voice, "*HIC!* hey, shoe polished covered surface elves....WOW *HIC!* I heard you elves had interesting customs and parties but this is interesting *HIC!*"
Out of the tunnel entrance, moving between two stunned drow comes a woman dressed in very dirty rags and carrying a large bottle with something in it that she drinks in huge swigs. She looks to the drow and picks the remaining one near the tunnel who isn't stunned to approach, staggering all the way.
Woman, "Come on, give me a quick dance *HIC*....I heard you surface elves have great dancing skills."
The drow the woman approaches seems finally to get over the shock and anger flares as the drow is refered to as a surface elf and the drow swings it's sword twice and with fierce speed at the woman.
To everyones suprise the woman stumbles under the first attack and into the stumble twists to the side to be misses by the second attack. As if on complete accident the woman turns and her hand which clutches the bottle slams into the back of the drow's head, "Ohhh! *HIC!* I'm sooo sorry...are you okay?"

His morningstar switched back to his good hand he brings his shield up before him for defense. He then brings his morningstar crashing in at the drow striking him hard in the side.

Kashmari Wednesday August 25th, 2004 2:50:46 PM
Kashmari isn't really sure what to make out of the terribly drunk woman. She finds her to be unbelievably common and is thankful that she shares no relations with the woman. Needless to say Kashmari cannot believe that the drow warrior hasn't diced the drunk woman to pieces yet. 'Drunk and incredibly lucky!' The young Half-Elven woman is becoming rather certain that she and her companions must be in some form of Divine Comedy...
"So, do we stay for the show or rid the world of a few more bad apples?", Kashmari asks as she taps her foot petulantly.

Fern steps over and aids Hart with Drow #5 causing a slight wound.
Eiras disappears then moves over near the back of Drow #3.
Hart watches as both attacks miss and Loran causes a glancing blow across the forehead of Drow #5.
Sir Henri stands there in complete defense.
Tyal lands a solid blow on his opponent.
Kashmari wonders who is this new person showing up.
Aelanthir appears behind Drow #9 and stabs him in the back giving a nasty wound.
The strange woman staggers around the two drow (#1 & #8)nest to her while they continue to swing at her when one of the drow lands a glancing blow on her. When this happens you see her lash out with a quick series of blows on that drow #8 knowcking him to the ground. She then looks at the prone drow and says "look at what you've gone and done this was my only shirt."
Drow #5 swings at Hart hitting with a glancing blow. (hit AC 14 dmg 0, hit AC 21 dmg 10)

Tyal takes both blows off his shield and smiles at the drow as he spots Namfoodle move in behind him. He once again brings his morningstar smashing in at the drow as he gets nailed in the back. His blow is true and well placed but lacking much power behind it.
He glances around at the group and shakes his head at the happenings. "Sing out if you need healig." He knows that some of them are most likely in need of it and he can help in that area as well as fight.

Everyone's attack succeed in injuring the drows they fight more except those who miss.
With combined efforts drow#3 is dead and the other drow are trying to fall back more and not put up as much of a fight.
The drunk lady who was just lightly knicked wobbles some and in the process delivers 3 vicious kicks to the drow she had knocked down previously and the drow doesn't move after that.
The drow remaining are in to big of a hurry to get away and have no intentions of attacking anymore at the moment.
High priest Bale looks to Marek and nods as he hears the man's words, "Certainly sir." Bale casts a spell quickly and with a gentle touch Marek feels healing powers flow through him again. (Healed:22 hit points)

You find nothing of interests in the since of anything ivign you any clues of what they are doing here for sure. (You do find some misc items, coins, etc but since I do not have them rolled up yet please be patient.)
Aelanthir goes invisible and scouts out ahead, finding this tunnel to be more twisty then the previous onces and about half way down it he does find a small side entrance but wood support beams here have been broken as if someonering their retreat or something. Either way (Spot:18) will show that the beams have fist and well placed kick marks with quite abit of force. Something only a few martial artists could do.
The lady shoots Henri and dirty look and speaks now but without a hint of a hiccup, "I'm not a drow I'm a normal human just like you."
The lady now looks at Namfoodle also and smiles at him, showing no signs of drunkness what so ever as she speaks and makes a gentle hand gesture to him of hello, "My name is Viera. A long ways into the underground is a small drow city that I excaped from. I was captured and put there many years ago and been biding my time to excape. Luckily my training and the extreme work they have us do kept me in shape to excape."

Henri is listening for trouble down in the tunnel for trouble. When the tipsy old drow points a bonny finger at him and telling the others, that she was like him.
Henri look at her and he wonder what she means. "Are you telling me that you are also a Paladin of Palor? That cannot be? We are loyal to the Sun God for one thing, but we seldom drink wine to excess for another!"
Henri goes back to listening for trouble.
OOC: Listening 12 - Oh Boy! Aetanthir better not need help??
Marek Isentomb Friday September 3rd, 2004 9:07:34 AM
Marek finishes with binding the drow and to Kashmari's comment, the old soldier nods, "If you have things here?" Not waiting for an answer he stands and moves over to the woman.
Marek pulls a blanket from his pack and goes to wrap it around her shoulders and also takes out some fresh water and an apple, handing those to her as well. AS he puts the blanket on her he will move her to a sitting position. "Here take this and these, you may not know it, but it is cold and damp and you need to dry off and warm up." Marek takes a step back and then squats in front of her. "Can you give us any information on these drow? Do you know if this place is common knowledge to the city? How many are in a normal raiding party?, Can we expect them to reinforce their position here, or leave for home? How far is this small city? Do you pass any other small drow or any other groups coming here?"
Aelanthir (Invisible, Darkvision, See Invis) d20+11=22 Friday September 3rd, 2004 4:21:49 PM
Aelanthir returns to the group then says "I did not see anything coming from the passage the drow tried to flee down. There is a side passage further down the passage but it looks like someone was trying to knock the supports out."

Kashmari waits for her brother to get back with any relevant info. She has barely begun to pace, as she wants to get a move on ASAP. She is slightly inquisitive about the unusual woman but leaves any contact and questioning to the others milling around her. When Aelanthir returns she takes note about his observations about the supports being damaged. "Aelanthir, did it look like anyone or anything fled away from us down that passage?"

Veira eats the apple, enjoying it and then uses abit of the water to drink and also wash the dirt from her face abit. Showing rather healthy white skin under the dirt.
Viera looks to Marek and shrugs, "The city is a long ways under ground and the side tunnel I came through is sealed now as your friend there says. Thanks to my training and some well placed kicks and punches." Viera shrugs at the other questions, really showing no sign of being drunk, "I have no idea if the drow will fortify or even bring more people here. I guess it will all depend on why they are here and the purpose behind it. I have no clue as far as that goes of why drow are here anyway or what family since I have heard nothing of it."
(OOC:If Aelanthir tracked clear to the next room he is right in the sense of he didn't see nothing. Also the floor is covered in a small layer of water so flower would turn to paste on the floor.)
Eiras moves down the tunnel that Aelanthir went down and sees no sign of tracks really beyond those of the drow who had been in the room you just came from. It looks like the drow came in and had either been waiting in the previous room for more orders or they had just moved on this far for some other reason.
Sir Henri Tuesday September 7th, 2004 4:31:27 AM

Standing, he pats the woman firmly on the shoulder and turns looking for Sir Henri. "We should go after the ones that bugged out A-sap." INdicating to the woman, "her story tracks at least some, which means they may essentially be trapped on this side and we don't need that." Turning to the priest he continues, "where is the arms and armorey chambers? That would be the best place to fall back to if they can't get home."
Fern d20+6=22 d20+5=12 d20+5=15 Tuesday September 7th, 2004 12:36:13 PM
Fern continues to keep watch, but is a bit distracted by the conversation.

Flashing a look at Marek and Henri.The gnome then looks at Veira as she washes her face,"You are quite striking without all the clown makeup." He winks at her slyly,"I can see that you are quite capable of taking care of yourself,I was curious how was it that you came to be a captive in the first place?" He sits down at her side and begins to play a soothing tune,"Carry on,I am listening but the music helps brighten the mood. I will stop if you would rather I didn't play." (Diplomacy 26 Natural 20 Perform 14) He sits and listens to the woman's story.
Kashmari d20+4=22 Tuesday September 7th, 2004 5:27:58 PM
Not pleased that she hasn't recieved any answers she continues her pacing. "We are wasting time aren't we? For all we know the drow are seeking the same thing we are." She glances at the woman, "and we don't even know if we can trust what she says... For all we know she could be lieing through her teeth!"
"So... Priest, Father... Bale, where do we go from here?"
Kashmari is now looking over the artifacts that the drow were mostly ignoring.
"Do we need any of these for later?" Kashmari holds out one of the artifacts towards the priest and directs her question only to High Priest Bale.
(Appraise 22)
Eiras Tuesday September 7th, 2004 11:35:33 PM
Eiras comes back to relate the information he gathered from tracking the drow.
"Where to now? You did say that there was a sizable force of Drow?" He asks the priest.
Mykell Zweihand Tuesday September 7th, 2004 11:49:32 PM
Mykell listens to what is said by the woman and then looks to his friends as they continue to talk to the lady mostly anyway, "We should be moving on, if any of us don't trust the lady then we just have her come along till we know if she is truely friendly."
Mykell looks to the others when the comment of the armory is brought up and frowns abit, "High Priest Bale, didn't you say the armory was in the temple above ground? I do not see why you would put a armory underground inless it is some type of relic you wish to keep a secret."
Hart Wednesday September 8th, 2004 8:43:16 AM "Where do we go now?" askes the impatient centaur.
Sir Henri Wednesday September 8th, 2004 11:57:41 AM
Henri ask the little old lady,"Mother, can you hepl us further?" will listen a little further, than turn to the Hight Priest Bale, "Yes! Hight Cleric? what now?"
Aelanthir Wednesday September 8th, 2004 12:09:45 PM
Aelanthir walks over to the surviving drow that is tied up then kneels down by it. Quietly in undercommon Aelanthir says to the drow "where were you and your friends headed to when you were done here?"
Marek Isentomb Wednesday September 8th, 2004 3:35:20 PM
Marek waits for orders to move out.
Justin Webber (DM) Moving on Wednesday September 8th, 2004 9:04:35 PM
When the drow is confronted by Aelanthir he grunts and shakes his head before speaking, "We are claiming what is rightfully ours. Anything we find is ours." This is of course spoken in drow.
After alittle while of speaking the drunken or was suppose to be drunken lady stands and shrugs, "I have no problem with going with you all as long as I get out of here sooner then later. I been down here way to long."
Veira looks to the people speaking to her and shrugs, "I was captured while out from the temple I lived at. I was sent to gather water and herbs before returning to the temple. The temple was near to a elven village that the drow raided."
With this said the group moves out along with High priest Bale who shakes his head and points the way the group came, "The armory for the temple is back the way we came and a couple rooms down from the entrance to the catacombs. There is nothing down here except some old relics mainly."
(OOC;Figure people will comment on what they did with the tied up drow, etc.)
Hart, Spirit and Loran Thursday September 9th, 2004 1:47:52 AM
The Trio move off, close behind the group.
He feels stifled in the dank caverns, but moves cautiously along.
Sir Henri Thursday September 9th, 2004 8:36:02 AM
The Paladin unties the old woman, "I'm sorry that I doughted you! but you see you do look an alot like a drow. I had tomake sure. Come stay close to me! I'll protect you."
They bothe follow the rest of the group.
Namfoodle Thursday September 9th, 2004 11:56:27 AM
After talking with the woman,he stands up and preparese to move on again.
Kashmari d20+4=5 Thursday September 9th, 2004 6:09:31 PM
Kashmari will help with guarding the drow if the group decides to bring him along as a prisoner. Kashmari takes her time to point out to the drow prisoner (in Undercommon) that he would be wise to cooperate since the majority of the group would be most happy to kill him. She also points out that she and Aelanthir are the only two people willing to safe guard him while he is a prisoner. Let him make out of her words what he will. The Half-Elven woman was kneeling next to the drow prisoner while talking to him, she will stand up after she has finished talking.
(Just an Int check to see if she could pick up anything that the drow said in his native tongue. Either she didn't hear anything he said or she just plain didn't understand a single word of it; even with her knowledge of Undercommon. Int check 5...)

Aelanthir looks at the drow again then says in undercommon "she speaks true. I would ask that you tell us what we want to know as one day you might get to see your home again."
Hart Friday September 10th, 2004 1:18:32 AM
The satyr continues on with the group.

Justin Webber (DM) Moving on Sunday September 12th, 2004 6:37:28 PM
The drow shakes his head and looks to Kashmari and then Aelanthir and finally the others before speaking calmly in undercommon, "You will get no more info from me. Lollth be praised that I give you nothing."
The lady continues on with the others while High priest Bale also follows, looking over this and that as he follows along. The tunnel ahead which Eiras and Aelanthir has seen this already, the water in this area is covering the floor in just barely under a inch. You all find just before a bend in the tunnel the area where a passageway has been colapsed, another thing that Aelanthir found earlier. You still hear nothing coming from up ahead and around the been in a long hall way which looks like it opens up into a large room again.
Hart Monday September 13th, 2004 4:30:03 AM
The satyr suggests that the two best scouts, him and Fern move ahead to scout terrain.
Spirit rejects this suggestion with a slap to the fey's head.
Loran remains asleep.
Sir Henri Monday September 13th, 2004 7:53:55 AM
The paladin follows askin the old woman, "Have you ever been here before?" Then enters the room very carefuly with swotd in hand.
Fern d20+10=21 d20+6=15 d20+8=26 d20+5=24 Monday September 13th, 2004 12:12:24 PM
Fern will move to the head of the group and start to scout ahead. If there is light in the tunnel she hands her everburning torch to someone else, if not she keeps it with her.

Marek Isentomb Monday September 13th, 2004 5:30:10 PM
"Good idea Hart, take about a 40' lead, but don't put to many corners between us and you."
Marek takes lead of the remaining group. Looking to Kashmari and then Aelanthir, "You two got the prisoner then. He flinches, kill him." Marek will point to the drows bound hands and then draw a line across his neck so the drow understands his position as well. Marek's voice in plain and matter of factly without malice.
At the final bend before the hall and eventual opening he waits holding the rest of the group up, while the two appointed scouts take a quick look
Kashmari Monday September 13th, 2004 6:33:44 PM
Kashmari grins at the drow, and tells him in Undercommon.
"It is a pity that your Goddess won't help you now. You would be wise to cooperate. As you see there are those here would rather see you dead now. But it is your life..."
With her brother's help she will haul the prisoner to his feet. If he still refuses to share any information then she will gag the prisoner while they travel so he cannot warn any of his possible allies by calling out.
"Put the lady in the center of the marching order. No matter what she says we still do not know who she truly sides with.... or what her intentions are."
Kashmari is not near the head of the party while they travel; if Fern's target of a torch is passed back to her then she will most likely leave it behind rather than keep the beacon of light with the party.
Kashmari will either walk beside the prisoner or behind him. If he tries anything suspicious then she will either flay some of his skin or burn him to keep him in "good behaviour". Kashmari will certainly intervene if the drow even makes an attempt at harming either her or especially Aelanthir.
Loran opens his eyes, but remains atop the staff. (Spot 37)
Aelanthir d20+11=28 d20+6=23 Monday September 13th, 2004 7:03:37 PM
Aelanthir looks to the group then to the drow with a evil glint and says "If you give anyone of use any problems or try to do something that would cause us harm I will make sure that you wish that you were going to be dead. Your kind has the reputation of being cruel torturors, well I will show you that your not the only one that can torture someone."
Aelanthir then checks to make sure that the ropes tying the drow go from his ankles to his wrists (behind the back.) The hands will be tied at the wrist then the thumbs and ring fingers will be tied togeather. Keeping the drow in front of himself Aelanthir will stay around the middle of the group with the drow.

"You know my Lady(The old woman)That is a very good idea, You stay in the center and we will all protect you. You know safty first!"
To Kashmari he smile at her "Very good! Friend, Very Good." following the rest of the party some where in the frount.
Justin Webber (DM) Moving Along Monday September 13th, 2004 9:48:52 PM
The group moves down the hallway, hauling the drow and also the lady has no problems with being in the middle of the group so stays there. The group talks over also sending the two best scouts in the group forward and await any opinion on that.
(OOC:I doubt there is no problem with the two scouting.)
Hart and Fern move forward to scout and find out in the room ahead is a large empty room and there is large wooden tables tipped over on their sides near the door way and in the far corners of the room.
Sir Henri Tuesday September 14th, 2004 7:26:07 AM
Sir Henri, who is in back of the scouts, listening to what they see "Hmmm? over turned tables, nobody in sight, sound like a perfice trap?? I say 'Better safe than sorry', and we'll never find out if we don't enter."

Spirit mimics Hart.
Loran cocks his head at the darkness ahead.
(Hart has no problem seeing in the dim light.)
Kashmari Tuesday September 14th, 2004 7:02:23 PM
Kashmari continues to keep watch on the drow rather than trying to see what is up ahead.If anything should occur then she will obviously either hear it or be informed by the scouts.
The psion smiles a wicked grin at what her brother says to the drow; she will be sure to support his statements even though she is not entirely certain that he would actually do what he says. At least if he is bluffing then she won't be the one to give it away!
- If Henry mentions his musings about traps loud enough for Kashmari to hear then she will hiss out this reply: "Let only the scouts enter it. There is no point in all of us becoming pin-cushions." - Obviously if he isn't speaking loud enough then she will remain quiet, and wait for the scout report.
Marek Isentomb d20+10=29 2d6(3+2)+10=15 Tuesday September 14th, 2004 9:13:29 PM
Marek stays back 20 feet knowing he makes far too much noise. Whomever is in the room surely knows the party is near, but he figures if he stays back a bit maybe they won't know exactly how close some of them are.
Marek nods at Kashmari's comments. Marek points to Hart and Fern, then to the room and then to the left and right. Marek then holds up all five fingers and begins a slow countdown. Four fingers, three fingers, two fingers, one and then points into the room as he moves forward. [Move 20 ready on an enemy. Chain has 15' reach Att AC 29 Dmg 15]

He does not have any concerns for the newest lady that travels with them, leaving that to the others. He will keep his mind sharp and clear for the battles to come.

The group decides on who to send in and slowly each member begins to enter in single file? As you enter Namfoodle gets a good look around and sees nothing at first.
There is no movements that you can see but who knows whats on the other side of those tables. With a startling realization Namfoodle does notice something finally as he looks up. Up at the ceiling hanging upside down and on a lizard are 3 drow lizard riders. The drow's are grinning and one issues a command in drow, "Kill the over worlders, send them to the pits the bath in the dark glories."
Suddenly noise can be hear from behind the tables across the room which are moved just right to block anyway around, the only way is over them or through them. You see a total of 3 archer with bows behind both tables and a group of atleast 4 fighters. 3 of the fighters on each side have longswords but the last 1 on each side also have a rapier and dagger readied.
Drow lizard riders are 120' off the ground suprisingly this room has a very high ceiling.
The drows behind the tables are 90' away.

Marek curses under his breath as the rest of the group frontally assaults a vastly superior foe in a defensive posistion. We're gonna get creamed Marek moves into the room 10 feet, stows his chain and draws his bow. Calling the the group to pull back into the hallway. "Fall back!"
Kashmari Monday September 20th, 2004 3:48:55 PM
Kashmari has no real clue what Henri is saying since she never even set foot in the room with the drow lizard-riders in it.
She stays where she was, but now standing very much closer to the captured drow with one of her knives held close to his throat as a reminder to not try and escape.
Kashmari moves herself and her prisoner close to one of the walls. This way her back is covered.
[In Undercommon to the drow prisoner of course] "Do not even think about trying to escape or call for any help - of course if you do call for help then your Spider Queen will likely reject you as a coward; and a complete waste of her time."
"I cannot guard two people at once Henri, someone else will have to keep an eye on her."
((OOC: Justin neither Kashmari nor Aelanthir stated that they were entering the room, just thought that I would let you know.))

Tyal takes in the situation from the doorway and shakes his head. This is most definitely going to go bad for the group as part of them charge forward. Still with only a thought he calls upon the powers of his battle goddess.
With extended hand he brings it open palmed towards the group of archers behind the tables. "Bragollach en templa." A ball of sound races in that direction to explode behind them with a defening sound.

Everyone prepares to enter the room or does except Kashmari and Aelanthir who hold back and wait.
Tyal is lucky enough to stun every drow behind one of the tables except one of the archers who looks very un happy at the fact that his friends are stunned.
Fern fires off a pair of arrows and misses with her first arrow just barely and the second hits the un stunned drow behind the table that Tyal had aimed his sound blast at. The drow now looks dangerously at Fern.
Eiras looks for a table or something to turn over and sees only one table at the side of the room. He gets there in this round but is unable to turn it over as of yet.
(I will try to get a map out asap but for now please try to work with me everyone.)
(DA=Drow Archer)*Table to the right of next exit/entrance* DA1 is stunned/injured DA2 is stunned/injured DA3 is injured but not stunned.
(DF=Drow Fighter) DF1 is stunned/injured DF2 is stunned/injured DF3 is stunned/injured DF4 is stunned/injured
*Drows to the left of next exit/entrance* DA4 uninjured DA5 uninjured DA6 uninjured
(LR=Lizard Rider) LR1 is uninjured LR2 is uninjured LR3 is uninjured
The single unstunned drow archer on the right side takes aims and fires at Fern. (Can hit AC:20 Damage:8)
The fighters behind the table on the left side of the room quickly move over the table and stay back as they await the group to move in.
DA4 takes aim and fires at Eiras as he moves to over turn the table left in the room. (Can hit AC:27 Damage:9)
DA5&6 both take aim at Mykell as he steps out of the tunnel and tells the group they should fall back, both archers let their arrow fly at the same time. (Can hit AC:22/14 Damage:6/11)
LR1,2 and 3 stay where they are on the ceiling seeing no reason to enter the combat as of yet.
(The drow all have a AC of 20 except the lizards which no one has tried to hit.)

OOC: I think that is all that this paladin can do in one round? I hope that he can defend.
Tyal [HP: 49/49, AC: 25] [darkvision] Wednesday September 22nd, 2004 11:33:43 AM
Tyal will move in on the archers and thier table blockade. He will attempt to clear the tables the next round so that he can get on the other side with them.
A smile touches his face as he swings his morningstar menacingly and moves his shield around in front of him. "Time to play a little game." He hopes that the sound burst has bought the group enough time to make their moves and get into position.

Marek again calls for the group to fall back out of the room, the drow being 90' away, with cover and ranged capability.
Marek lets loose a single shot at DA3 and then moves 20' back and out of the room. [Hit AC 14 miss]

Not liking the the fact that once again the group finds itself severly outnumbered,he dives for the nearest shadows to get himself out of the donnybrook that is erupting around him,"He thinks to himself how did someone like me get into a situations like this...again?" Chuckling a little to himself at the randomness of that thought he dives for cover.(Jump 24 Tumble 12)
As he comes up he begins to conceal himself as best he can. (Hide 16) While hiding he takes out his crossbow and his lyre setting them at his feet With a quick inventory of bolts he thanks the gods for his foresight to pack whole extra case,seeing as how his first one only has six left. He sits there waiting for his time to strike.

Aelanthir's grease spell on the ceiling seems to do the job since the lizard riders all drop from the ceiling as their mounts could not hold on to the slickened surface. One of the three lizards lands hard but the other two land easily and the rider simply glare at the group as each grab their spears in readiness.
Kashmari focuses her mind on lizard one and it's skin begins to redden and blister some.
Eiras over turns the table and readies himself for combat. (Ignore the attacks on your character, I missed that he was invible.)
Hart moves out towards the table with the stunned drow behind it and swings at one of the fighters. His attacks miss though and he can only guess that the stunned drow is laughing at him.
Fern attacks the archer who shot at her back, injuring the drow badly and leaving it bleeding pretty nastily behind the table.
Henri runs across the room to move the table on the left side of the room that the drow are hiding behind, allowing the onces nearest him a shot at him.
Tyal moves in on the drow he has stunned, planning on moving the table when a chance arises.
Marek calls to the group to fall back but most of the group has charged in to attack. Marek's attack misses it's target badly and slams into the wall.
Namfoodle succeeds in diving into the nearest shadows and hiding as he readies himself for combat more not.
(Didn't make my post but here it is) Mykell looks to the group and sighs as he realizes the situation and pulls a small gem from out of his gauntlet that was hidden and whispers, "May the elements help me and my friends. Come to my aid earthen one." Mykell launches the gem to the floor and when it hits and breaks a earth elemental appears, growling at the drow enemies.
All drow's that were stunned come to this round but stay behind the table that they were behind.
DA1&2 take aim and fire at Mykell. (Can hit AC:23/16 Damage:5/11)
DA3 takes aim and fires at Tyal. (Can hit AC:18 Damage:6)
DF2 takes a swing at Tyal as he tries to keep the table from being moved. (Can hit AC:22 Damage:11)
DF4 takes a swing at Hart with both his weapons. Slashing in quick movements. (Can hit AC:25(crit:18)/12 Damage:6(11)/5)
DA4&5 take aim and fire at the elemental who appeared. (Can hit AC:23/17 Damage:6/6)
DA6 takes aim and fires at Fern, yelling out, "The people first, elemental last." (Can hit AC:13 Damage:10)
DF5&6 move in quickly towards Mykell and his earth elemental.
DF7&8 move in and slash at Henri as he tries to move the table, growling at him. (Can hit AC:21/26(critical miss) Damage:10/10)
LR1&2 move quickly in on the door way to the tunnel that Aelanthir, Kashmari and now Marek is retreating too.
LR3 is moving in on Fern as the lizard's sticky tongue wags out a moment at her as if tasting the air. ****************** High Priest Bale looks at the situation infront of him and pulls out a wand and calls out quickly, "speak up if your in need of healing you guys."
The monk lady looks ratheru n happy at all this going on around her and she rushes out into the mix. Her speed is uncanny for a normal person and she suddenly jumps and and spins in mid air, cetching the drow ridig L3 in the chest. The impact of the spin kick makes the drow wobble in the saddle on the lizard but not fall off.
(Monk lady is not noted on map, neither is High Priest Bale or drow prisoner.)

Mykell swings at the drow who moved in and attacked him. He is biting off the pain of any injuries he has sustained to this point. He frowns though when his swing goes wide.
Eiras shoots and kills DF6, easing the problem on the field alittle more.
Marek and the help he gets drops LR1&3, the riders now laying on the ground dead and leaving only the lizard.
Kashmari injures the lizard she has been attacking worse.
The elemental slams a heavy earth arm down on DF8, the drow goes sprawling on the floor after the heavy blow.
Most everyone elses attacks miss there targets.
DF6&7&8 lay dead on the ground. LR1&3 are also laying dead.
High Priest Bale rushes over to Henri when he sees him go down and slaps him with the wand once, "You couldn't say you needed healing ahead of time huh?" (Healed:32 damage)
The monk lady not able to wait and play around any longer drops into a crouch and mumbles to herself slowly before she suddenly vanishes and reappears behind the archers at the table on that Hart and Tyal are trying to get behind.
DF1&2 see a drastic problem now and try to move to defend their archers.
DA1-2-3 all look confused on what to do but soon start to levitate up in the air.

Turn to Fern "I thank you my Dear Lady and patron in Arms. You also have saved my life, I hope I can repay you one day."

*last round* Tyal swipes his morningstar at the drow fighter before him as he just smile at the idiot. He is not too concerned with the outcome as of yet. Though he does have some reservations when the paladin goes down.
[drow3 - hit: 21, damage: 8]
*this round* Tyal takes the fighter more or less spitting what can only be drow speak in his face with a laugh. His shield catches the aimed blow and turns it away with practiced ease. "Will have to do better than that mate." He brings his own weapon crashing in at the fighter with little mercy. If this fighter is down then he will of course switch his attack to the next nearest drow.

The combat slowly rounds up and the battle is going very well with the group. With this round of attacks the group is happy to find all the enemies are dead except four of the drow and the three lizard.
DA1-2-3-4-5 are all dead DF1-4-5-6-7-8 are dead LR1-3 are dead
The lizards look pretty docile now and are being non combative. The remaining four drow though two of which aren't injured begin falling back to the door except those behind a table yet.
DF2 is being taken care of by the lady monk and behind a table.
DF3 is behind a table and takes a swing at Tyal, trying to stand his ground. The drow misses though as he swings.
DA6 is stuck behind a table and fires another arrow at Fern again as he knows the elemental will get him atleast. (Can hit AC:26 Damage:6)
LR2 is the only one with a rider yet. The drow kicks his lizard mount into gear and quickly begins to retreat to the tunnel.

Justin Webber (DM) Combat Ending d20+12=14 Thursday October 14th, 2004 8:54:46 PM
With everyones hit including the monk lady's and the elementals you are down to two remaining enemies, the single lizard rider who is injured badly and drow fighter#3 who is badly injured.
The battle is pretty well simmered down and with everyone being able to concentrate on the last two drow the battle will shortly be finished.
The monk lady quickly and easily jumps the table and leans against the wall now as the group can finish everything up. High priest Bale though stays active as he holds his healing wand at the ready.
(OOC:Sorry for the lame post but since the battle is wrapping up and my time is abit pressed tonight.)

With the combined attacks of the group the LR falls from the lizard he rides to the floor dead and the remaining fighter dies quickly there after.
Silence is clear in the room now after the sounds of the combat that just had ended. High Priest Bale walks around to look at each person and will tap each person with his wand of cure serious wounds till the person is fully healed.
The monk lady still leans against the wall watching everything and nods towards the lizard mounts, "They seem less then willing to fight without being lead so they could be just left alone."

"Dees lizards deserve freedom to servitude." He rolls the drow and searches for items of interest, such as signs of where they might inhabit, looking for mosses on clotheing or mud-pack on boots so that he might get an idea how much deeper the drow lair might be. (Spot 38, Survival 29 for tracking purposes, Knowledge Nature 33) He then proceeds to remove the harnesses from one of the living lizards. (Handle Animal 23)
Spirit remains in the hood, but pokes his head and shakes his little hand at the corpses.
Loran remains perched on the staff and quickly falls back to sleep. He is soon wakened by the tell-tale sound of a mouse in the fast side of the cavern. The mouse is soon dinner for the chubby owl.

Nothing magical in like secret passages or anything are seen when detect magic is used and any searches in the room for anything out of the ordinary comes up with nothing.

Justin Webber (DM) Moving on Tuesday October 26th, 2004 10:18:51 PM
Everyone slowly moves on along the tunnel the leads to the next room. There is a suprise as the group reaches the next room, mainly that it is bare of any enemies.
Around the room is scattered furniture of various makes and styles but all rather old looking still. The room is fairly clean and little water stands at all in the room. The small wall holes where the dead are buried are relatively covered with a thin sheet of decaying cloth.
High priest Bale smiles as he looks around, "I see this room is less bothered then the others. That is good news since this is where all our higher level priests are buried. It would be a shame to know that Cardinal Aldrel was disturbed in his peaceful slumber." High priest Bale looks to the group and thinks a moment, "I can fortify this room rather easily if any need to rest. The last battle was pretty tough for everyone and I can tell you that their is only one more room up ahead which I would guess we will find the root of the problems."

Hart looks at the room and the passage and just shakes his head. "Thees ees bad, real bad. We are to make a stand here eef anyting comes up from der? Thees weell be our tomb."
"I feel no fresh air, der are no trees and animals." The satyr seems to be getting very upset and unwilling to cooperate. He sits and begins picking at the dirt.
Spirit looks out from the hood and whispers in the fey's ear. Hart simply grins.
Loran pops one eye open, then nuzzles his face under a wing.
Sir Henri (AC 20) Wednesday October 27th, 2004 6:09:56 AM
That paladin tells Heart "See It's not bad, for now?"
Marek Isentomb Wednesday October 27th, 2004 5:44:45 PM
Marek looks to Hart and shakes his head slightly, For the love of all that good, stop whining he thinks. Instead, he simply states, "Nice."
"Ok my question is do we need to hold up here? Any wounded, any spellcasters in need of rest? In other words is there any benefit? I think we gear up and hit 'em. Who's got power up abilities?"

"Power oop abilities?" He askes Marek. "What do you mean?"
Sir Henri Thursday October 28th, 2004 5:40:48 AM
the paladin speaks to both Heart and Marek, "I think it's a good idea! the preist did say the room ahead will be the hardest battle thus far!
So you magic user should see to your abilities. As for me I think I'll pray for mine." then Henri is off the a quiet corner to pray.
Eiras d20+11=28 Thursday October 28th, 2004 7:47:40 AM
Eiras says quietly, "I can go on, I need no healing."
He moves to look around the room they have entered just to walk out the dimensions and to do a spot check. {Spot:28}

The satyr sits down and begins his pre-sleep rituals with his entourage.
Sir Henri Friday October 29th, 2004 8:15:02 AM
The paladin prays to Palor, after he will eat a little,the polish his sword.
Marek Isentomb Friday October 29th, 2004 9:53:12 AM
"I was thinking of physical enhancing spells, protections like prayer, that sort of stuff Hart"
"Fern or Eiras, how confident are you at being able to take a peek and get a count of them without being seen or heard?"
Hart Friday October 29th, 2004 9:54:04 PM
"Aw yes, those. I weell consider theem carefully." Says the satyr, to pacify the metal clad human.
Fern Saturday October 30th, 2004 3:41:05 PM
Fern agrees to rest.
Mykell Zweihand Sunday October 31st, 2004 9:36:40 AM
Mykell looks to everyone and nods as he thinks, "I think we should rest here also. Many of us have taken injures in the previous battles and if there is only one more room ahead then we will need to be at full strength."
Mykell goes to one of the corners and sits on a chair if their is a suitable one to be sat on.
Eiras {AC:18 HP:47/47 Hiding/Moving Silently} d20+15=32 d20+15=29 d20+11=31 d20+11=29 Sunday October 31st, 2004 10:20:19 PM
"I can scout for more drow if you like. From what I have seen so far, I doubt they will find me," Eiras says simply.
With that he moves to strip out of his leafwoven armor. He takes off his pack and other equipment and unpacks a small black roll. He strips down to his loincloth and slips lithely into a tight fitting black suit. He slips off his kerchief and quickly replaces it with a completely black one.
In one move, Eiras slips into a cross-legged sitting position and pulls out a small mirror. A small cannister reveals some black face paint that he applies to his face and neck. He slips on gloves over his hands and secures his short sword and a brace of daggers. A couple of non-descript pouches are also tucked into his black sash belt.
"I will be gone no more than an hour. If I am gone longer than that, I'm not coming back or I decided to head back to the forest," in the gloom and black facepaint it is hard to make out the slight smile on his face.
He doesn't wait for a reply but moves off to scout out the passages. {Hide in shadows:32 Move Silently:29 Search:31 Nat 20! Spot:29}
Marek Isentomb d20=8 Monday November 1st, 2004 1:27:01 PM
The veteran nods to Eiras, "Good luck." he says mostly to himself.
Marek then moves a a spot near the direction of the next and last room. He loads and sets his Heavy crossbow down and then sits with his back to the wall, resting but keeping an ear out for trouble down the corridor. [Listen 8]
Sir Henri Monday November 1st, 2004 3:26:04 PM
Hemri then moves near the entrance of the tunnel, Ready to defend Eras if he should need it. He has a feeling that he'll soon will.
Hart Monday November 1st, 2004 6:39:10 PM
He falls asleep.
Spirit disappears.
Loran finds a cubby and watches the group sleep.
Justin Webber (DM) Resting Monday November 1st, 2004 10:01:19 PM
The group talks about sending someone on to scout while others get ready to relax. High Priest Bale pulls out some dust from a small pouch and tosses it up in the air as he whispers slowly to himself. As High Priest Bale finishes his whispering the sparkling dust spreads and lands at each corner of the room and settles.
High Priest Bale nods and looks to each person, "There, the room will be safe from any problems or threats. Everyone can rest here without fear." ------------------------------------------------ Eiras scouts on ahead for the group and finds the next hallway to be really long before he finally reaches the end of the hallways. Ahead of him he can see a large oblong room where he can only count three drow moving around. Two of the drow are males and wear leather armor and a single sword hangs at their waist. The third however is a female whoe wears a simple chainmail armor and a snakehead whip hangs at her waist. At the back of the room is a large hole in the wall and from the angle it looks like it curves to go down.
Other then the three drow the room is relatively bare of any signs of this being a burial area instead there are many chairs, tables and such in this area. The chairs are in great shape and the tables have cloth on them with the symbol of a dragon which gives the idea that the area has not been changed by the drow yet atleast. Behind in the very back of the room is the strangest thing though, there is a single very large egg that stretches from floor almost all the way to the ceiling. The egg is platinum in color and infront of it is a single alter.
Eiras Monday November 1st, 2004 11:44:04 PM
Eiras comes back and relays the information about the room to those still awake.
Methodically, Eiras goes back and reverses his procedure, taking off his stalking gear and going over his equipment, affecting small repairs and taking stock of the status of his weapons, armor and other gear.
Hart d20+16=30 Tuesday November 2nd, 2004 1:18:26 AM
Hart does look at the platnum egg closely before going to sleep. (Knowledge Nature 30) "Hmmm..."
Sir Henri Tuesday November 2nd, 2004 6:12:19 AM
After being told that the room is safe, the paladin tries to relax. When Eiras reapears again as to what he saw??. The paladin is very itrested in this Egg.
Marek Isentomb Tuesday November 2nd, 2004 9:59:37 AM
Marek greet Eiras return and report, "Well done. OK I don't think we have time to wait about. Anyone not healed see Bale and he can fix it. Far as spells go, we'll have to make do with what we have. If we sit here there are two things very likely to happen. One is, a crew returns from wherever these drow are from with the equipment needed to take that egg or two reinforcements show up and our job gets that much tougher."
Turning to Bale, "That egg's important as in we need it for your dragon-god right? We outnumber them 2-1 and Hart here, being a druid can summon in some help. We should gear up and hit them now."
Marek looks to the rest to see where they stand on this.
Tyal [HP: 35/49, AC: 25] [darkvision] Tuesday November 2nd, 2004 4:03:05 PM
Tyal looks around to the rest and just shrugs his shoulder. You are not sure if it is out of boredom or what. "I still have most of my own spells to make us of for the group." With a look of excitement he taps his morningstar lightly in his hand. "So do we hit them now and hard or wait??"

Kashmari having been oddly silent and reclusive recently chimes in with: "It doesnt matter to me whether we wait or confront the enemy now. I am not hampered by a shortage of 'magic'." She waits to hear what the others say; especially Aelanthir.

Eiras Tuesday November 2nd, 2004 9:05:36 PM
"I say we hit them now. It would be good if someone with some blocking conjuration could cut off the retreat down the passageway in the back of the room to prevent any from escaping."
"I will be ready in a few moments," Eiras has almost finished getting his gear stored and back on.
Mykell Zweihand Tuesday November 2nd, 2004 10:12:04 PM
Mykell looks to the others and shrugs as he gets his longsword out and tests the edge once, "I will go with the group on the decision. If we go now then let us take the fight to them."
Fern Wednesday November 3rd, 2004 12:54:01 AM
Fern waits to see what the group decides. She makes sure everyone is healed by the cleric before anything else is done.
Aelanthir Wednesday November 3rd, 2004 8:13:47 PM
Aelanthir looks around at everyone then cleans up and starts getting ready to head out.
After a couple of moments Aelanthir looks up then says "I think that we need to rest long enough to recover our spells that we have expended."
Justin Webber (DM) Talks Wednesday November 3rd, 2004 9:50:22 PM
The group is deciding rather to move out or not. High Priest Bale frowns abit since he just used a spell to make the room safe and the group has pretty much said they will move on.
The monk lady though shrugs as she looks to the group and looks rather ready to move on actually. After a few moments thought she looks to everyone and speaks up, "The drow you seen sounds like such a small party to be holding that area. I would be on guard of more drow somewhere, maybe even from the hole you described."
High Priest Bale pulls out a wand and looks to the group, "If you really want to move on then all who are still injured should be fully healed, just speak up." High Priest Bale will heal each person to full hit points again inless the group decides to spends some time here resting.
Hart Wednesday November 3rd, 2004 10:15:14 PM
The fey just waits to follow. "Where are we going?"
Kashmari Thursday November 4th, 2004 3:06:10 AM
Kashmari hides a grin as she notes that the group doesn't seem to share quite the same ideas of what to do.
"So just how badly off are we magically? Brother, you said that you wished to rest to regain your magic; I will stay here with you and wait until you have done so."
Kashmari glances over at High Priest Bale.
"Would you be staying here to rest and prehaps begin formulating a plan of attack or ambush Priest?"
Kashmari will try and figure out ways to make this area more defensible. She will only leave here to confront the drow if her brother changes his mind about resting first. She is well aware that her decision might just annoy her other comrades, but her concern is first and foremost for her brother.
Hart Thursday November 4th, 2004 6:24:10 AM "By Shalm! Let us move out of this pit! Regain mageec... amboosh.... attacks... bah! I can do notheeng withoot sleep. SHHHH!!" The fey finds a corner and slumps.
His owl just turns and looks at Hart with a tilted head.
(OOC: What did the check reveal about the egg exactly?) :)
Marek Isemtomb Thursday November 4th, 2004 11:36:45 AM
The soldier closes his eyes and pinches the bridge of his nose as Hart sits down and Kashmari declares she is staying with her brother here. "Fine, we stay. They reinforce and prepare, we get it handed to us when we go in.." He moves off to a more private corner of the room still mumbling about tactical disadvantages, lack of unity and questioning his survival on this trip.
Marek will keep his loaded crossbow with him as he sits. Bale claims the room safe and he has no reason to not believe him so he will remove his armor, drop his bedroll and catch some sleep.
Namfoodle Thursday November 4th, 2004 3:31:54 PM
"Namfoodle forgets that mortals need rest. Namfoodle shall be patient,and rest with you all." With another flourish of his cape he turns dramatically and finds an uncluttered place on the floor where he will hunker down for the evening.
Aelanthir Thursday November 4th, 2004 3:53:39 PM
Aelanthir moves over to the side then sits down and rests and studies his spells.
Tyal [HP: 49/49, AC: 25] [darkvision] Thursday November 4th, 2004 5:46:34 PM
Tyal slips out of his armor and lays his shield on the floor. He lays his morningstar by his shield as he takes out his bedroll. Spreading it out he lays down and checks to make sure that his weapon and shield is close at hand. "A little rest would not be a bad thing really." He takes the time to take a little of his rations out of his pack as well and nibble on them as he sits and relaxes.
Soon after he will fall into a light sleep as he had already talked earlier about a watch for himself if it is needed.

Eiras does not react when he sees the group setting back up for camp. He sits down, still in his leafweave armor, and puts his back to the wall with his bow across his knees and a half dozen arrows to his his side. He pulls his hood down low, but not so low he obscures his vision if he looks out from its folds.

The satyr falls asleep after all his fussing and complaining... it must have been exhausting.
Loran watchs through the night.
Fern Friday November 5th, 2004 3:29:14 AM
Fern opens up her pack and gets ready for a night of slumber. She finds or clears an area on the floor and starts making her bed first two thick blankets then a bedroll and if it's cold another thick blanket on top. She uses a little water, a rag and some soap to wash her face and hands then begins to eat dinner. She puts some water and tea leaves in a cup to steep during the night and eats bread, cheese, smoked salmon, and dried apples for dinner, with of course a lot of water. She then crawls into bed.
Kashmari Friday November 5th, 2004 4:00:30 AM
Kashmari will get what rest she can and then spend what time is left meditating. She will eat a little bit of her dry rations and drink a little water while walking.
Sir Henri Friday November 5th, 2004 7:33:42 AM
The paladin listens to the others as they want to rest before going on. "Wise move, People!" Henri tries to cheer the party, he now realise that he is tired also. He'll losen his armor a little, saying his prayers. He sits down and leans his back to the wall, Falling asleep almost instantly.

High Priest Bale shakes his head at any comments of a watch need, etc and speaks up, "My spell will make fighting here imposible as any one who enters this area can not raise arms against you all though neither can you attack them."
High Priest Bale and the monk lady also sit down in a nice spot in the room to rest, the monk lady pulls a small wood carving from her pocket the size of a chess piece and looks at it while spinning it between her fingers.
The night slowly passes by with little to interupt it and you hear nothing right off except the steady drip of water.
(OOC:A quick comment to everyone. I was thinking about changing Mykell some to fit the setting more but also to bring in more of the various cultures in the game. If no one has a problem then I will be switching him in my next player post and just a small note, he will still be a fighter type.)
Namfoodle Minstrel of the nigh d20+7=22 d20+7=24 d20+7=27 Saturday November 6th, 2004 1:57:56 PM
Namfoodle will take time to create some water and then wash his garmnets.(prestidigitation Spellcraft 22)
He will then cast Message,targeting Fern,Kashmari,and the monk.(Spellcraft 24) After finishing the spell he will very quietly sing lullabies,a sort of quiet private concert of sorts.
If any of the ladies look at him he will just smile,nod his head and flash a quick wink at them.
Aelanthir Saturday November 6th, 2004 2:43:08 PM
Aelanthir will eat a small bit of fruit and cheese while he is stuying his spells. When Aelanthir is finished he will gather up his gear and clean himself and his weapons.
Eiras Saturday November 6th, 2004 5:47:20 PM
"Shall we go see if the egg is still here," Eiras asks sarcastically. It is obvious that he doesn't believe that the Drow, after having lost contact with the bulk of their force, are still around.

Tyal finds his sleep more than relaxing and the fact that he did not have to stand a watch made it even better. Though he did have a slight pain in the way of inactivity that he was not use to.
Early the next morning he is up and going about his morning prayers to Inana. Most of this is in the form of a fully armored and armed series of exercises that would make most balk. Though tired from his morning workout and prayers he is still in a good mood as he nibbles on a little breakfast. "Inana be praised and may the battle go our way this day."

After blowing his nose on his shirt tail, he back hand wipes his mouth and stands with a loud stretch. His exersise done he pulls out some jerk beef for breakfast and while chewing starts to don his armor.
Not looking up, but concentrating on what he is doing he says, "Here here Tyal. So I hear you volunteering to take a look Eiras then? No undue risk, just look and get back here."

"I have no qualms with scouting it again," Eiras says flatly.
In a repeat of his performance the night before, Eiras ends up bedecked in his black stealth suit. To add to his stealth after he finishes he disappears.
His voice comes from near the door, "I shouldn't be gone more than half an hour this time, unless something is really wrong in which case I'll blow a whistle."

Justin Webber (DM) Morning Monday November 8th, 2004 10:08:49 PM
Morning comes pretty easy and no probalems occur all night. In the morning the group slowly prepares to head off to the last room in the catacombs.
A few strike off early and find the last room and find that the room has gathered some more enemies while the group rested up for the battle. Now in the room is the priestess and around 4 drow fighters from the looks of them. One non drow person stands out of place though.
A man standing back by the egg stands looking at it and you see a huge spoon on his back. The spoon looks to be normal, it is not shaped to be weilded by the looks. The man wears straight gray clothes and loose silver hair hangs down to cover his back. The man chuckles as he looks back to the drow priestess, "Looks like this egg has yet to hatch. My master will be very pleased at this and the priests of this temple have not found a way to awaken it which is even better." As the man speaks the huge spoon hanging on his back looks to shiver and a audible whine seems to come from it.
(OOC:Sorry not to answer before Hart. The egg is Bahamuts egg, the one to hatch when all the peices are gather to make it hatch and Bahamut to be reborn.)

"Ok, we have 4 fighters a cleric and an unknown, but likely dangerous individual. Off hand I would say the organizer of the drow on this little expedition and very likely direct report/servant to Mr. High and Mighty that we met back in the throne room."
Marek looks across to the assembled group, his unkept face locked in a stern visage. "Big factor here is to keep the cleric from casting spells. Silences anyone? Barring that Henri, myself and Kashmari will occupy the soldiers and the rest of you deal with the priest and human."
Marek draws the enormous chain and gives it a couple quick spins. "Lets move with a purpose people."

The group enters the room with weapons ready to fight. The drow priestess turns around and humphs when she sees the group, "Dear me, don't tell me these guys and girls think they are going to drive us back into a hole." The drow fighters laugh at the priestess comment and weapons snap out of their sheathes instantly into their hands (quick draw)
The man with the spoon chuckles as he hears the comment, "Always hasty to judge ain't you. hmm hmmm ohh I know who these people are. HA! they haven't even began to be a real threat and I doubt they could be....why would Beowulf's old friend be worried of these fools." The man shrugs and his brow barely wrinkles which to eveyones amazment the huge spoon on his back suddenly looks to come to life and spins around the man, making small circles around him, "Well, I guess when push comes to shove I will just have to spoon it back. OHHH and whats this, I sense maybe a psionic near, how utterly delightful."
(OOC:Okay, this room is huge in size but the egg takes up a nice chunk of it as does the alter with the scroll on it. The enemy is 60ft away from the entrance you have came out of which the spoon wielder 20ft behind the drow.

Kashmari d20+6=20 Wednesday November 10th, 2004 4:15:54 PM
((OOC: I am not entirely certain the willpowerstat is 100% correct.))
Kashmari immediately detects the psionic(?) scan (will 20). She tenses slightly; almost imperceptively, and begins her own scan - the mundane variant using her eyes. When the be-spooned priest comments about a psion her eyes narrow and she quickly studies each of the enemies looking for any indications of a psion among them. She particularly seeks any tell tale signs of a psionic manifestion (she has a rather high PsiCraft stat and Knowledge Psionics stat). Kashmari will hold any attacks for the moment; unless she is directly attacked of course. If the enemy doesn't realize that she is the psion then she will offer no indications as to her nature.
Tyal [HP: 49/49, AC: 25] [darkvision] d8=3 Wednesday November 10th, 2004 7:36:07 PM
Tyal steps into the room and smiles as he moves out of the way of the others. He thrusts his morningstared hand forward and throws out a burst of sound at the drow. "Pelekta yassen I handele." His next move will be to close in for some personal combat.

Justin Webber (DM) Drow Fight d20+6=16 d20+6=26 d20+6=7 d20+6=24 Saturday November 13th, 2004 4:31:47 PM
One of Fern's arrows slams into the cleric while the other one misses. The drow priestess looks rather upset at being shot.
Kashmari concentrates and does notice that the spoon wielder has a big grin on his face suddenly and is look straight at her and even speaks, "Quite interesting, yes yes this shall be quite fun."
Henri is to far away to lay a blow on the enemy so he will have to wait till next round.
Tyal flings a sound burst at the drow and succeeds in stunning two of the four fighters.
Suprising to the group, when one of the drow fighters charge forward, Marek's chain slashes him and drops him easily to the ground.
The last remaing drow fighter who isn't stunned takes both of Eiras's arrows and also falls to the ground twitching.
Everyone else moves into the room except Alenthir who goesi nvisible and moves to flank as best as he can.
At the loss of two of the fighters the drow female screeches, "What is going on?!? there is no way my bodyguards are that week."
The man with the spoon flying around him laughs now, "Ohhh dear me how could I of forgotten something so high on the must tell list....ohh well, but you see I need life force and your men are just right for the task. Anyway I need those people over there for they will up my ranking with my master."
Before you breaks down a large fight as all this probably leaves most of you in awe since they are fighting among themselves.
The drow priestess turns on the spoon wielding man and snarls as she rushes him with her snake headed whipe out. Before she can reach him though the giant spoon slams into her stomach and then with te curved side of the head of the spoon slams into the drow priestess head which makes her fall to the ground quite dead as he head is lopsided now.
The spoon flies back to it's master and it hums almost in glee as it circles him and Kashmari can almost swear she hears a voice in her head from a coversation going on between the spoon and the man <hehehe this is so much fun for Glandel...the portal of abysial is almost open with the energy my partener.> The man grins and looks to the group as he begins to laugh, "Ahhh yess, time draws near for my creation....ohhh my bautiful creation come to this world...show yourself for all these mortals infront of me...show the true power of the Seekers of Darkness....let the light end here."
An outline around the room has suddenly began to glow in black light and near the man a large dark area is beginning to show on the floor. Kashmari once again can hear a psionic call to some other plain...some dark plain of existence where a dark force awaits...all though the force doesn't feel like it is living, it is more like a creation of sometime a construct.

Namfoodle entering the room on Kashmari's heels,doing his best to stay concealed as best he can manage.(Hide 22)
Surveying the room and seeing that the group is managing to hold it's own without his aid he decides to move into position to flank the spoon wielding chatterbox.
Coming to the conclusion that the fastest way to get there would be to dive and tumble to the perimeter of the skirmish.(Jump 11 Tumble 4 Move Silently 21 OOC disregard that second d20+8 it was an accident)
After closing the gap to 30ft of Mr. Spoon he will take aim with his crossbow and fire it at the curmudgeon.(AC 18 Damage 8 Sneak attack 4 total 12)

Marek moves 20', skirting the glyph now glowing on the floor and readying a responce to an enemy closin with 15' of him. [Readied attack AC 16 dmg 22] [AoO AC 23 dmg 14]

Mykell frowns as he looks over the situation and speaks up quickly, "Looks like this could be bad, what is this spoon man up too?" Mykell holds his katana at the ready as he awaits anything to happen. He knows that the spoon man is way to far away for him to help to much on.

He slowly moves forward afterwards, keeping his eye on the spooner.

The group find it easy to cut down the remaining drow and watch as the spoon moves with amazing speed as it blocks each arrow fired at the spoon wielder. The curved inside of the spoon reflescting the arrows to slam into the floor near each persons foot the fired it (not hitting.)
The spoon wielder grins as a massive head raises from the glyph on the floor and slowly comes fully into the worlder before you. The creature looks to have gray, metal looking skin and it has large powerful arms, each finger though ending in shortsword sized claws and each of it's feet have three toes which also have dagger sized claws. The creatures face is flat looking but has two powerful metal looking horns much like a minataur. The creatures yellowish glowing eyes glare around the room before it strikes a slightly crouched and arms flexed before it, growling loud enough to shake the walls of the catacombs.
The spoon wielder grins and nods, "Here he is...thanks to Grendel and myself you have the honor of meeting my friend and creation Bulkidun. Enjoy and please don't worry about writting." After speaking the man steps into Bulkidun's shadows and melts into the floor, clearly using a shadow teleport spell.

Hart says in a very uncharacterist way, "Oh crap." He charges the creature with a head butt, hoping to delay it, if only for a moment (Charge Action, no flank yet... if you wish to take the flank Justin, he hits AC 21 :)). (AC 19, magic head butt, for 9 damage) [b]"Thees oonatural creeture moost die!"[/]
Spirit lets out a minimal shreek and ducks quickly into the hood.
Loran takes the safer position and flies to a high perch in the cave and avoids the beast entirely. He often seems smarter than his satyr friend. (Full Move)
The Augmented Black Bear on the other hand goes for the creature, flanking with Hart (Move and Single attack into Flank). (AC 15 for 9 claw damage)

Bulkidon roars as it is hit by Marek's chain, Fern and Eiras's arrows. Hart's head hurts just abit from the head butt which does hit, the creature does seem to be made of metal after all. The bear however doesn't hit and misses pretty badly.

Marek easily avoids the clumsy swing, but certainly is not happy with the creatures reach. New tactic and hopefully Mykell and Sir Henri can keep out of its way. "Mykell, Henri, go defensive and keep its attention!"

Everyone continues to try pounding on Bulkidon as Namfoodle plays his music to help each person out more.
Once again arrows slam into Bulkidon and Marek's chain slashes the creature alos. Even Hart and his bear are able to score a hit on the large creature. Mykell's katana finds ferm holding also in the creatures side but Bulkidon is still standing all though now silverish blood drips from many wounds on it's body.
Bulkidon unleashes a nasty suprise ashe bursts into a rage now, it's muscle mass looksl ike it increases as the rage takes hold and it slashes one set of claws at Hart. (Can hit AC:21 *forgot bonuses for Bulkidon's rage* Dam:15)
Bulkidon also turns it's other hand back on Mykell, roaring again but having it's head turns to glare at Marek. (Can hit AC:19 Dam:22)

Tyal moves in at the big creature and swings his morningstar at the beast. It's newest attack does not faze him too much but it does give him something to think about.

(OOC:Ceil, sorry for not replying sooner and please when you post go ahead and post your attack for last round also. Except for those shooting arrows at it and such I have it where everyone has pretty well surrounded the target. Anyone shooting into melee will take a -4 to hit inless you have precise shot which will knock it to a -2.)
The group continues beating on Bulkidon as it growls in flusteration. Hart missing with one swing but hitting with another.
Tyal misses yet again on his attack.
Marek slashes Bulkidon yet again, causing a new wound to open on Bulkidon.
Fern and Eiras both fire a pair of arrows which slam into Bulkidon and leaves it slumping alittle.
Aelanthir casts shocking grasp.
Kashmari begins searching her memory for any psionic creature like Bulkidon as she watches the creature. She can come up with that Bulikidon looks to be actually mainly constructed of magical metal and it IS psionic but not the type that uses psionic attacks. This particular psionic creature once defeated will erupt in a psionic blast (think big fireball).
Bulkidon growls loudly in it's rage and reaches out with actually amazing speed as it grabs for Sir Henri. (Grapple DC:18)
With it's other hand it yet again slashes at Mykell. (Can hit AC:19 Dam:miss)

Sir Henri Swing his sword and hit the darn thing, BUT Bulkindon grab the paladin. Hank twises and tries to turn in the monster grasp.
Kashmari 5d6(3+2+5+6+1)=17 Tuesday November 23rd, 2004 5:11:54 PM
Kashmari has the good grace to look worried; very worried.
She calls out: "We must not destroy this creature! If we do it's destruction will destroy us all and this entire room in a catastrophic blast!"
The psionicist frantically tries to think of a way to avoid destroying the construct.
"We need to immobilize the construct and go around it but leave it alive!"
In the middel of her shouting out warnings Henri is grabbed by the construct. Kashmari mutters an oath under her breath. She quiets her mind and begins to manifest her psychic energy. The half-elven woman summons a sonic energy missile aimed directly for the contruct's arm holding the paladin. She focuses her anger into the manifestation increasing its power. An unsettling whistling screech issues from around Kashmari; it is eerily akin to the sound of a flight of arrows. The sound grows in level from hardly audible to a loud, strident hiss. Before the construct's arm shimmers and wavers (DC 18, dmg 12).
(Energy Missile (sonic), Manifestation time: 1 standard action, Range: Medium (100ft+10ft/lvl), The missile deals 3d6 points of damage to each creature or object you target, to the maximum of 5 targets.

The satyr looks briefly at the female psion and shouts a question. "Woold eet be bad to bring down the ceiling atop the beast?" He asks, thinking about his Earth and Stone spell. He swings again, keeping the beast occupied. (AC 20 and 24 with flank, for 15 and 11 damage.)
Spirit squirms in the hood as he asks about the ceiling.
Loran remains in preening mode, but looks up at the ceiling.
The Bear strikes out again. (AC 18, 26 and 24 with flank, for 7, 7 and 9 damage) The Black Bear then snarls at the beast as a parting comment and blinks out of exsistance.
Sir Henri Wednesday November 24th, 2004 11:16:10 AM
The paladin turns to Kahsmarie, asking her "What are we supose to do? Tickle him to death? His punches hurt, you know!" His feet are still dangling.
Fern d20+6=17 Wednesday November 24th, 2004 12:36:26 PM
Upon hearing Kashmarie Fern slings her bow onto her back and starts rummaging in her bag of holding for her coil of silk rope. As soon as she gets it she will try to lasso the construct.

Kashmari (first to Hart, then to Henri) Wednesday November 24th, 2004 4:20:01 PM
"I wouldn't think that bringing down the ceiling would be a bad thing... but we need to free Henri first. Also we have to make sure that whatever measures we take to incapacitate the construct do not hamper our passage from here."
Kashmari chuckles lowly, "if tickling helps then I won't advise against it." It is obvious that Henri's suggestion has amused the psion greatly.
Mykell Zweihand d20+13=24 d10+10=13 Wednesday November 24th, 2004 9:41:48 PM
Mykell looks around and frowns to himself as he hears the comments made and growls, "You mean to tell me this great bloke of a creature is going to blow if we kill it. Great." Mykell glances up at Henri and sighs as he steps back and then rushes forward and leaps up, grabbing his katana in both hands as he slashes down hard at the creatures arm. (Can hit AC:24 Damage:13)
Justin Webber (DM) Bulkidon Battle Flux d20+24=39 Wednesday November 24th, 2004 9:53:41 PM
Bulkidon begins to droop as the damage continues to rain down on it from all members pretty much. Mykell's attack does get Bulkidon to drop Henri from it's great clawed hand.
Fern however finds the creature way to big to rope effectivly.
Talks on how to bring down Bulkidon erupt among the various members of the group and the priest calls back answers now, "Bringing down the roof would cause no harm as the room is big and the blast would probably destroy alot of the rubble you bring down. The egg can be used as cover to as it is a egg of the god Bahamut and much tougher then you would imagine."
The monk lady rushes forward now having stayed out of this till now and jumps Bulkidon, grappling it's left arm and locking a hold on it using all her body as she does, amazingly too in the time she has been off her size looks to of almost doubled and from the looks it is all pure muscle. (Grapple 39 on Bulkidon's arm) The monk lady has a feral look in her eyes as she Bulkidon swings around in a wild rage and it's body has began to glow now as psionic energies inside it have began to surge to exploding levels, "Blow the ceiling now then, you all have killed it already and if you do not hurry then it will blow."
The monk ladies hold and disabling it's left arm has gotten Bulkidon's attention off of you as it gets ready in moment to blow up.
High Priest Bale rushes to the egg, grabbing the scroll as he passes and gets behind the egg clearly to avoid the blast.
Henri has a interesting sensation also coming from katana of the herald of light you had met much earlier. It speaks directly to Henri <the egg...you must hide behind it...all of you or the explosion will destroy you and the will of the Seekers of Darkness will come true>
(OOC:You have exactly 12 mins to do what ever and get to the egg to hide. 6 mins equal a whole round.)

Hart moves back and casts Soften Earth and Stone at the nearest point above the creature. [Effects 30 square feet of unworked stone, targeting the ceiling or wall 30 feet up] "Hit the ceiling weeth arrows, do whot you can to bring it down."
Hart turns to Kashmari. "Hit the ceiling weeth your mind magic! Now! At that spot, just there!" He points to his targeted and sagging ceiling.(I suggest a concussive type sonic wave. Rattle them rafters!)
Spirit hides deeper in the hood.
Loran flies to the ceiling and attempts to use his talons to loosen the dirt.

"Kashmari, get behind cover and do it!" calls out Aelanthir as he follows the high priest. When Aelanthir is behind the egg, if Aelanthir can see the point that Hart indicates he will cast Magic Missle at that point (dmg 6.)

Marek calls out, "Take Cover! Behind the egg, MOVE!
Marek moves towards the egg, but does not quite get behind it yet, looking towards the construct and the woman. He yells to her, "Get off that thing!"
OoC Is the construct still operational or just standing there? Does it still have Henri?
fern d20+10=27 d8+3=6 Thursday November 25th, 2004 2:48:16 PM
Fern quickly grabs her bow shoots at the roof and darts behind (and maybe under) the egg.

Kashmari 6d6(5+4+1+4+4+6)-6=18 Thursday November 25th, 2004 2:52:19 PM
Seeing that Henri is now free of the construct Kashmari will move close to the egg so that she can quickly hide behind it as the ceiling falls. She concentrates on the rocky area above the constructs head. She sends six bale-fire green missiles speeding towards the soft rock and then hurriedly ducks behind the egg.

The paladin falls to the floor, when Bulkidon releast his grasp. He land on his unpadded seat with out much fanfair. Henri is in such a hurry the he is on his hands and knees, moving on all four as fast as he can. "clank! clank! clank!"(sound made by the armored knee pads.)

Tyal looks to the spot on the ceiling and shakes his head as he cannot think of anything to use on it. He instead rushes for the egg to hide behind. "Most undignified." You can hear him muttering under his breathe.

Justin Webber (DM) Explosions our us! Monday November 29th, 2004 5:48:03 PM
Mykell rushes for the egg to hide behind as does everyone else.
The soften earth directed at the ceiling along with the other attacks made on it makes the ceiling over Bulkidon to begin fall on him.
As the ceiling begins to fall the monk lady releases Bulkidon's arm and makes a kick off from him. Her back flip lands her alittle ways from the egg and she scrambles quickly to reach safty behind the egg.
Just before the monk lady makes it ocmpletely behind the egg you hear a giant eruption out in the middle of the room area and rock flies all over as the ceiling parts are blown to even smaller pieces. The monk lady cetches part of the blast and you see a large, overly muscled monk woman fly across the room and slam into the wall, leaving a partial body imprint.
The egg simply rocks alittle but seems un harmed as you all are hundled behind the egg. The walls all smoke some and are blackened. Kashmari can feel the psionic energys from Bulkidon's blast slowly beginning to leave the air of the room, the power of the blast though was morep owerful then anything she had ever felt before.

Spirit is nowhere to be seen.
Loran is off at one end of te chamber preening himself.

Sir Henri Tuesday November 30th, 2004 6:57:16 AM
The paladin has some what of a head ache, as he tries to dig himself from under th rubble. He sits up and as he tries to bring his arm down to push himself up from the floor. there is a lump in his arm pit?? He take it out of there and see that it Heart's Spirit pal. As he hand over the little body to him "Here! this belong to you and it's not moving right now."
Hank mumbles to himself "If I knew that my arm pit was a hidding places, I would have wash it this morning."
Marek Isentomb d20+1=2 Tuesday November 30th, 2004 12:57:59 PM
Marek stands and moves out from behind the egg, spitting to the side to clear his mouth of some dust, not bothering to wipe the drips from his beard. "Sound off eveyone! Give Status!" he barks in a deep barritone of command.
Marek moves to the woman to see how badly she may be hurt. [Heal check 2] Obviously he can assess little. "Bale, get over here!"
Aelanthir Tuesday November 30th, 2004 4:19:19 PM
Aelanthir comes out from behind the egg and then says "Ok, no injuries. I think we better get ready to get moving."
Aelanthir starts to check to see if any of the drow bodies are still there. If they are Aelanthir will start to check them for anything useable.

Hart speaks up. "Yes, I am here... mostly."
Spirit wakes up in Henri's armpit and begins waving his hands around as if he was saying, 'Stinky!'
Loran continues preening.
Kashmari Tuesday November 30th, 2004 5:49:34 PM
Kashmari props her back against the cavern wall behind the egg. She first presses her right index finger and thumb against the bridge of her nose and then rubs her temples. Her eyes are closed as she rests them. The power of that psionic enegy blast is certainly something to keep in mind. That man with the "spoon" is an enemy to reckon with. 'possibly another psion? Odd he was not mentioned... I suppose Beowulf has never met him; or known of him.' Slowly Kashmari will stand and look at the chaos in the room. She looks at the entry ways and exits to the room. "Can anyone find out which way those drow went?"
Kashmari barely pays MArek's command any mind, but does answer him; more or less. "I think we all survived, mostly intakt. We cannot waste too much time waiting here, we need to find those drow."
Eiras Tuesday November 30th, 2004 6:23:17 PM
Eiras will go check on 'the monk lady', stepping agily through the rubble.

Tyal moves slowly as he comes out from behind the egg. He slowly shakes off some of the dust and debris that has accumulated on him. He feels a sudden pain in his side and finds that a large piece of wood has embedded itself into a crack in his armor. "By the mother." He looks around to the others as he pulls it out and winces.
He then moves over to kneel by the wounded or maybe dead monk lady. "Here let me have a look at her...the Father can help out the others that need it." With rough hands he start to check on the situation with the monk lady (heal 25). His own side still bleeds but that seems to be secondary to him at this time.

Mykell quickly looks over at the monk lady and then around the room, "Is the lady okay?" (Spot:21)

Loran continually preens his feathers.
Marek Isentomb Wednesday December 1st, 2004 10:02:21 PM
Satisfied teh woman is being seen after by those far more skilled than he in the matter and that all survived, Marek moves to help inspect the dead drow. Surely the leader has some items of note or interest.
[take 20 on search=21]
Justin Webber (DM) Aftermath Thursday December 2nd, 2004 1:12:53 AM
High Priest Bale walks over to the monk lady and looks her over also while some people check on her and others go about inspecting the room.
High Priest Bale along with Tyal both note that the monk lady is just knocked uncouncious and only a large lump on her head from the blow against the wall. High Priest Bale shakes his head and whispers, "Terribly lucky, she could of been killed."
The others who look over and search the room find that the hole in the one wall where the drow had cae through is blasted shut so any drow who would of retreated or came in through it are now shut out or shut in.
The few who look over the bodies for stuff find a few pouches with platinum in it. Looks like about 200 platinum per pouch (4 pouches). You also find 4 longsword that are in good shape. 1 robe and 2 cloaks, 1 chainshirt and 1 leather armor. All other armors and weapons have been blasted to bad to be made use of. You also find in one corner stashed a backpack the holds a pair of wands and 6 potions.
On carefuller inspection of the drow cleric you do find on a burnt string around her neck is a single ring that has a ruby set in the center.
The exit to the room is still open and other then the egg smoking just abit and the alter blasted to kindling you see nothing of interest.
Sir Henri d6+1=6 Thursday December 2nd, 2004 6:18:48 AM
The paladin smiles at the Spirit tries to go in a strait line to Hart. Henri will put a hand on the satry shoulder, muttering a few words (Curing him of 6hp), hoping that he fell better.
He tell him "Oh! look in the corner there!" As the paladin points to the backpack, "I would not have notice that backpack if it was not to help your wound."
Tyal [HP: 49/49, AC: 28] [darkvision, barkskin, bless, bull's strength] Thursday December 2nd, 2004 3:30:57 PM
Tyal pulls a larger pouch out of his pack and then removes a stoppered bottle. He pulls off the stopper and gently waifes it under the monk's nose. He turns his head slightly as he gets a whiff from the bottle himself. "Man that is bad." He glances around to the others and shakes his head at how lucky they were. "Anyone else need healing let me know and I can supply it as well."

Loran finishes preening and flies over to the staff and begins preening again.

Marek will move to the exit of the room and stand guard with his chain out til the woman and others feel ready to move on.
"Bale, where does this lead to?"

Kashmari will stay near the exit along with Marek. She absently plays with a lock of her long blonde hair as she stares down the tunnel in front of herself. If Bale comes over to look at the tunnel then she will move aside for the meantime, so he can get a good look ino the tunnel and figure out (hopefully) where it leads to.
Eiras Thursday December 2nd, 2004 9:26:11 PM
Eiras leaves the tending of the wounded monk to others and goes over to the egg.
"How do you think we could move this out of here?" He asks to the entire room.
Fern Friday December 3rd, 2004 1:56:38 AM
Fern helps the others gather together anything useful and asks the priest "Which way now?"
Huur flies around looking for something to eat.

Loran continually preens.
Sir Henri Friday December 3rd, 2004 8:31:13 AM
the Paladin look at the egg from all angles, Asking all the magic users, "Does any body have a Shrink Spell? or even a reduce Spell?? Maybe that would do it??"
Justin Webber (DM) After Battle and Leaving Sunday December 5th, 2004 4:04:01 AM
High Priest Bale and Tyal both succeed in taking care of the monk who once she awakens her body shrinks back to it's normal size and the heavy muscling seems to of just vanished.
High Priest Bale looks to everyone and shakes his head as he holds up the scroll, "We have what we came for. This lists the places where the things needed to resurrect Bahamut lay. The egg...well it must stay here. There is no way of moving it out of here and all our spells will not work on the god's egg. It is like a magical fortified armor."
The monk lady looks to the blasted closed tunnel and nods towards it, "That would lead down to where the drow came from. I had heard that they set goblin and other slaves to working on digging a couple holes to the surface. Anyway, there is no other evident way for them of got here inless teleportation I guess."
High Priest Bale nods and looks to everyone, "It is time to head out of here. I will send priests down to secure this area with wards and spells and also we will get to work on deciphering this scroll and finding the relics needed."
Before the loot is gathered up though Hart casts a spell on the treasure and finds out the following. longswordx4 (one long sword radiates a faint illusion, two give off moderate evocation and the last one gives off a faint conjuration) robex1 (strong abjuration) cloaksx2 (one faint illusion and other moderate transmutation.) chainshirtx1 (faint magic but no aura) leather armorx1 (faint illusion) wandsx2 (faint illsuin, second is ID'd by High Priest Bale as a wand of cure moderate wounds.) potionsx6 (Are ifentified by High Priest Bale for the group. Counter spell potion, cure moderate woundsx2, cure serious woundsx1, Barkskin+3x1 and haste.)
High Priest Bale looks at the items the group has won and points to the potions and one wand, telling the group of what they are before moving to the way out and shrugging, "everone follow me out of here?" Inless the group has more to do High Priest Bale leads you slowly through the place, now fussing over the sorry state of the crypts and commenting on how he will have to have these fixed up.
Once you are lead upstairs a man with a long but well trimmed beard stands waiting, his finger nails are longer then any man's you have ever seen except for Mykell who has seen the man's kind since Mykell is of the same nationality, "Greetings sirs, I believe you have a conference to attend now that you have went to help the priests and my mistress believes you are now ready. I would ask each of you to please go clean up first and then meet me at the great courtyard of this place." The man turns now and his robe like outfit swirls around him, the color golden with small flowers like adorning it in silver the man before he does puts his left fist in the palm of his other hand and bows slightly to High Priest Bale, "My lady wishes to thank you for letting her be a quest here and wishes me to tell you that shortly we will be moving on and troubling you no more. We do wish you could stop you search for resurrecting Bahamut though good sir but as our saying goes "those who do not see the light will find it in time." You notice the man walking away looks to be wearing what looks like wooden sandals.
High Priest Bale frowns when the man leaves and shakes his head, "My god needs to be brought back, he is our only hope. What do "they" know that I do not." High Priest Bale looks to the group and shrugs, "I must go work on this scroll now so you all should do what you must and meet with his mistress if you truely wish. I believe that is what was said when you first started on helping us."
(OOC:Sorry for not posting till now and everyone can post up to the courtyard if you wish. Remember that this is also your chance to role play out since battles are over for awhile.)

Loran continually preens.
Sir Henri Monday December 6th, 2004 5:41:21 AM
The paladin prays for the soles they disturbed. Then he will carry some of the stuff they found and start going back with therest of the party.
Kashmari Monday December 6th, 2004 6:33:04 PM
Kashmari keeps her gaze fixed on the sealed tunnel as High Priest Bale says that they will be returning to the temple rather than pursuing the Drow; and the (what she seriously believes is another) psionicist.
'I should have remembered why taking quests from religious groups is a bad idea. They only really care about their own priorities and their Gods. Lets hope those Drow and their allies don't get up to much mischief in the mean while.' Naturally the disappointed psion reminds herself why religious quests just aren't really her thing.
Once up in the courtyard she will listen to the strange man with the apalling fashion sense and the unmanly long nails. She frowns slightly at his appearence. Kashmari looks even more displeased when conferences come up in the monologue. She envisions being nearly unbearably bored as priests and who knows who else will be talking and talking and talking.
When everyone is given leave to do more or less what they want Kashmari will find a novice or a servant and get the person to some how organize a hot bath and laundry services for at the least herself and for Aelanthir. Kashmari will spend quite some time getting cleaned up and soaking out whatever discomforts nearly getting blown up brings. If they do decide to participate in any meeting then she will make sure that she is wearing presentable clothing - if anything to make a point out of how one should look in her opinion.
Mykell Zweihand Monday December 6th, 2004 7:10:02 PM
Mykell follows the others out and seeing Kashmari's concern he steps over by her and taps her shoulder once before quickly dropping his hand back to his side, "We are mainly doing what we are paid for so try to not let it concern you to much. Anyway, a nice hot bath and long soak looks like it would be more fitting for you right now." The last comment is meant as a normal thought from where Mykell grewup ladies were meant to luxury and ease not long battles.
At the entrance to the catacombs where the group comes up Mykell bows to the man who is there and one hand touches his trusted katana. He remembers his home only alittle and his title of ronin there, here in these lands though he is simply a mercenary. Mykell who still hangs back by Kashmari and her brother commented under his breath, "He reminds me alot of Master Chin. A some what nice man till he was angered and then he was a master of the war fans fighting style."
Mykell waits till the man is out of sight before moving out and quickly to the room that the guys shared. He sits here for quite awhile first working on his armor and cleaning it and then his katana and two hand katana. Lastly he goes to wash and change clothes before beginning a quick meditation on the situation.
Mykell has all plans to go to the meeting after his meditation.
Hart(45/64 hps), Spirit and Loran Tuesday December 7th, 2004 1:30:16 AM

Hart finishes looking at the magic items, tells the group what he found and then avoids the meeting (or at least tries.) He finds a nice piece of green wood and attempts to fashion a flute (craft roll).
Spirit remains asleep.
Loran continually preens.
Fern Tuesday December 7th, 2004 4:33:14 AM
At the courtyard "Before I meet anybody I need to get this filth washed off."
Unless approached by someone she will see about getting a hot bath, in fact if it's possible she'll get more than one. the first one to get all the blood, dirt, sweat, cobwebs, and other gunk off her and wash her hair. As that bath will probably be filthy before she's wash off again (including her hair) in clean water, and then soak in water as hot as she can stand it to help her bruises. She'll then put on some clean clothes, have her clothes taken to be washed and start on getting her armor and sword as clean and as polished as can be.
All of this will take several hours.
Eiras Tuesday December 7th, 2004 8:54:40 AM
Eiras spends the few hours waiting for the meeting out of doors, relishing the open sky. He even drops the hood and scarves so that he can feel the wind and sun on his face.
Sir Henri Tuesday December 7th, 2004 9:07:20 AM
Once the paladen stepp out side and into the sunshine, It hits him as to how much he missed the sun, the trees, the air that's is so clean and crisp. He'll follow the leader and the others to the meeting place.
Aelanthir d20+11=31 d20+11=31 d20+11=16 d20+11=24 d20+11=19 d20+11=18 d20+11=23 d20+11=29 d20+11=19 d20+11=21 Tuesday December 7th, 2004 2:16:14 PM
Aelanthir heads out with Kashmari and gets cleaned up. After a long hot soak Aelanthir will ask around for a quiet place to to do a little work. When shown Aelanthir will spend a few hours looking at the items (casts detect magic) and then will head out and look for High priest Bale. When Aelanthir finds him Aelanthir asks "is there any of your orders members that can identify these items for us?"
Justin Webber (DM) Talks and more talks Tuesday December 7th, 2004 2:47:58 PM
Everyone goes about getting prepared for meetings and mainly their own little thing while others do theirs.
Aelanthir hunts down High Priest Bale once hei s washed and everything and asks about finding out about the magic items. High Priest Bale scratches his chin and snaps his fingers after a moment, "I do believe that the man named Karfax who wished to speak with all of you was a wizard of some type. Surely he could help you out. He should be in the courtyard with your friends I would guess."
Out in the courtyard the members of the group who have went out there find in deed that the servant you had seen earlier is out in the courtyard looking over the statue madeo f pure cyrstal. There is also another man wearing a pure golden robe setting in the sun cross legged watching as another man wearing a lighter gold colored robe and a monk priest who wears the symbol of Bahamut bow to each other and strike fighting poses.
Before your eyes a very quick fight breaks out, starting and ending as the priest monk slams his fist into the robe of the oriental looking man. The priest monk grabs his hand and yelps in pain as he backs off. The light gold cloaked man chuckles as he speaks up, "Looks like my iron robe technique is still better then the dragon fist taught tothe Bahamut priests."
The man sitting and who was watching the fight now looks up and notices the group and shakes his head, "Quiet Larnas, our guests have arrived. Greetings to all of you. I am Karfax the Truthsayer and left hand man of the creator god. I have been looking forward to seeing those who Sahikito helped."
Before more can be said a sudden beam of light shoots from the sky and a lady in a brilliant white dress appears beside Karfax. The ladies hair is almost silver in whiteness and her eyes look over each person as she flexes her white wings and folds them behind her. The lady pats Karfax on the shoudler once when the man looks up at her and she too introduces herself to the group, "Greetings, I bring greetings from the creator god also. I am Kalie of the Crown and right hand woman of the creator god. I bring news that you all shall meet him or her soon enough. The creator god choses his form upon what best suits the time. So we are never sure rather he will be a male or female in form. First to our buisness."
Kalie leans against a wall and lets Karfax speak. Karfax looks to the group again and raises a finger to point at each person, this man's nails also as long as the man you met before and the ends pointed, "We have watched and seen that all of you do not wish to be heroes, nor do you wish this game that the gods seem to be playing with you so we on order of the creator god have come to make a offer....you see, the creator god is a divine god...a ruler of life, death, creation...he created all in his time...he is the maker of the gods themselves. An he wishes simply a balance in the world. He sees the awakening of Bahamut or Tiamat as a bad thing since neither god should come to power. This is not the time for gods but for people to make their lives.....so we of the Heralds of Light with the order of the creator god extend a invitation to you all to become a member of the Heralds of Light. If you join you are simply looking to make a balance among the people here. You are not good, nor evil, you are neutral in all aspects....in joining you also get a granted gift from our god to help you. For you wish to see the Seekers of Darkness atleast stopped of their plans and we do not wish them to resurrect Tiamat. But you see the Seekers of Darkness have obtained secret teachings from the demons of the deep and they hold powers much powerfuller then you could imagine."
Kalie nods and smiles lightly, "Yes, you have met Gimblus who was once a friend of Beowulf. Inside him resides Lord Quenzdel, a high ranking demon and one who can set the land a blaze if he gains enough power. Also in the catacombs of this place you met Ledan who's psionics is powerfuller then most of the lands and his spoon called Glendel is a psionic enhancer and ancient artifact that lives and is intelligent." Kalie looks to the group and comments, "An Gimblus has learned the secret Backlash technique which is terribly dangerous and with Grendel Ledan can contact a secret plain called the plain of psionics which holds powerful psionic monsters which you have also wittnessed in the catacombs. Bulkidon is a design of Grendel itself and trust me, it is one of many creations it has."
Karfax smiles and shrugs, "Simply put your fate is in your hands. We, the Herlads of Light will not force you to decide or join any side. We however know that some of you wish not to be a play thing of gods, we also know that resurrecting dragon gods is not in your interest. So we offer the chance to join a group who simply wants balance."
As Karfax and Kalie wait for a reply the sky begins to look abit different. A silvery white seam looks like has formed in the sky and it stretches farther then anyone can see.
Namfoodle d20+10=28 Tuesday December 7th, 2004 5:10:26 PM
(OOC sorry everyone I have been sick the last couple days. I am better now and I see Namfoodle has a lot to catch up on.)
After the battle the gnome spends quite some time being very somber and distant. ruly out of character for the gregarious little fellow.
He sits quietly and listens to everyone introduce themselves and speak of the evils they face.
He absently strums his lyre,catching himself he stops and puts it away and concentrates harder on teh subject matter at hand. Only he is having some trouble doing so,there is somehting about the way things are unfolding that just doesn't seem right,but he can't quite put his finger on what it is.
Finally breaking his silence he stands up and says,"May I ask a question? If you know all of the players involved,what can you tell me about their personalities. There is no doubt that they are clearly more powerful than we are,but maybe if we can play one of them off the other and create dissention in their ranks we can take advantage of them." He begins strumming his finger on the table in front of him,"A few rumours is all we need for now,it doesn't have to be profound,or even truthful,just someting that sounds believable and that whoever we choose to discredit will have a lot of trouble denying."
Marek Isentomb Tuesday December 7th, 2004 5:46:43 PM
Marek's lips purse as he muses over the apparent offer of the Heralds of Light, but he quickly steps forward.
"I am here to defend my people, my freedoms and my home. I have made no secret of opinion on resurrecting the dragon god Bahamut to say the least of idly standing by while Tiamat rises again."
With a quick upturn of his head he continues, "You say you seek nuetrality and balance, so I must ask to what extent that lies. By rite of arms I shall defend those in need of it and my freedom for naught but the asking that I may continue my own pursuits and they theirs."
"So I ask if this life, that of high adventure for advnetures sake with promise to defend those who ask in need fits with the Heralds of Light. If so I will join you, If not? my answer is no."
Markes thick Barritone voice falls silent his last words spoken from a position of one who has commanded an audience before leaving no room for doubht in the sinsarity of the words.
Sir Henri Wednesday December 8th, 2004 6:13:21 AM
Henri is kneeling with his wooden Holy Symble of his God Palor. When the pointing finger came to his turn. The paladin got to his feet and face them. He give them his answer, "I'm a Royal Plaldin of Hardell and a loyal servant of Palor. I have meditated on my faith.
I know that my King wants what is good for the people, and My God Palor agrees with you and wants balance. I will join you if I'm worthy." The paladin waits to see if he is accepted or not?

Hart continues to widdle his flute. (Craft roll 27, high quality) It's a fine looking flute! He plays it a bit to get the tune just right.
Spirit pokes Hart in the head to get him to answer the question. Looking disgusted at Hart, Spirit jumps up on Hart's horns and flexs his tiny muscles and shakes his head 'Yes!'.
Loran continues to preen but looks at Hart from the top of the staff.
Tyal [HP: 49/49, AC: 28] [darkvision, barkskin, bless, bull's strength] Wednesday December 8th, 2004 7:35:39 PM
Tyal listens to all that is being said and shakes his head in wonder. He would not mind accepting the invitation, but would the battle maiden allow it. Well she did not actually favor one side over the other that was for sure.
"One path is as good as another when you follow the Battle Maiden Inana...if it will please her then I will join in your group." He looks around at the others and listens as each speaks up or has spoken up already. "Hopefully the pay will be good though." His smile tells you that he is kidding...or maybe not as you know the mercenary cleric.

Mykell Zweihand Wednesday December 8th, 2004 8:25:52 PM
Mykell bows low to Karfax and Kalie and looks to either as he speaksup, "I will join you for sure. We are brothers in a way. I also come from the area you lived in but I wondered from my home to become a mercenary."
Mykell shrugs and looks to the others while waiting, looking to Kashmari for a moment and wondering what her and her brother will do. He does hope both decide to join also since Kashmari is rather interesting and her brother is helpful too since he brings abilities to the group muchly needed.
Justin Webber (DM) Holding on Wednesday December 8th, 2004 8:32:14 PM
(OOC:This is not a DM post, just making a few comments so people will know. I want to wait till everyone posts so I can see who wishes to join the Heralds and who doesn't. Plus you all gain 5,215 exp. High Priest Bale also has awarded the group each one statue of solid gold that can be sold for 1,500gps a piece as payment for your help. With that said I wish to comment that you may pay the temple 100gps if you gained a level. The temple will supply you with a teacher who can give you advice (non rped) to train you. For those who might wonder I'm doing the 100gps training fee as to keep money limited down alittle and also to cut out a down time where you would be training to show you gained a level, logically speaking.)
Fern Wednesday December 8th, 2004 9:57:29 PM "I'll join as well." Fern replies.
ooc: is anyone going to do a treasure distribution thing this time? Fern pays the temple 100g as she levels up :)

Hart plays his new flute. It is unclear whether he is joining or not.
Spirit on the other hand is clearly a new member of the Heralds of Light and happy about it. Spirit jumps down off Hart's horn and starts biting the new statue.
Loran finally stops preening and sits, staring at Hart from the staff.
Sir Henri d10+3=10 Thursday December 9th, 2004 7:41:32 AM
The paladin will go to Bail and pay the 100gp. To learn more.
OOC: Sir Henri has gone up to level 6, up hit points by 10.
Eiras Thursday December 9th, 2004 3:34:17 PM
Eiras listens intently to the Heralds, his hands concealed under his cloak.
Emotions play across his pale face and he clearly is torn and undecided.
Aelanthir d4=3 Thursday December 9th, 2004 4:25:23 PM
Aelanthir lisens to Karfax and Kalie as well as the others. Aelanthir will then move over to Karfax then say quietly "I was told by Bale that you would be able to identify some items for me. I would be willing to pay you 1000gp to have all the items identified."
Aelanthir will look to Kashmari and say "shall we join this group in order to help maintain a balance?"
**** Aelanthir pays the 100gp for training as he goes up in level. +5 hp. ****

Marek will pay the 100 as well and joins based on the answer he recieves.

Hart d8=3 Thursday December 9th, 2004 6:23:22 PM
Hart finally excepts the offer to join the Heralds with a shake of his horned head. He wishes for balance, even if it is a lofty and nearly impossible goal.
(OOC: I just added up totals from the last XP given in July and now. I never leveled Hart in July. He should be 4th level druid, not 3rd. He's very close to 5th. Sending you updated 4th level Hart PC sheet ASAP, Justin.)
(Rolled 3hp for 4th level.)
Each of us get a gold statue?
Marek Isentomb Thursday December 9th, 2004 9:08:35 PM
Marek, who is also highly interested in having the magic items identified, says loudly, "Karfax, Bale informed us you could identify some possessions we gained from combat with the drow. Will You?"
Kashmari d6+3=8 Thursday December 9th, 2004 10:02:02 PM
Kashmari listens to the offer and is certainly undecided on what to do. Accepting to become some form of 'Holy defender' doesn't sit well with her. Change and growth should come from within she reminds herself.
'Psions don't primarily relie on things beyond themselves, powers outside of their own skills. What will change if I agree? Will I still be me, with my knowledge and skills that I have worked long and had to undertsand and hone? What might I have to give up?'
She does not envy those others who seem to have had an easy decision. It is easy to see that the Half-Elven woman is concidering some serious thoughs.
"Aelathir I do not know if it would be the right thing to do. Keeping balance is well and fine, but that may not be my true purpose in this world. You know that. Honestly I might find more purpose in finding this Ledan and learning from him," Kashmari answers her brother quite seriously.
Aelanthir would of course know that she is speaking about psionics the others might not figure that out immeditely.
Kashmari regards Kalie and Karfax.
"I suspect that you know of my abilities. Thus you may understand why your offer is not so wonderful to me. What you offer how can it be beneficial to me? Why should I accept a boon from entities beyond myself, rather than finding out what my own true potential is?"
The psion waits respectfully for an answer. She doesn't care right now if her actions and words are shocking and rude. She needs to know more in order to make a decision, she cannot just act on 'blind faith'.
*************************************************
Kashmari will pay 100gp to the temple if they can actually find her someone for her to train with! :D
+8 HP for level 6

Hart Friday December 10th, 2004 2:29:15 AM
The satyr is curious. "You seek balance een nature as well? I wish to see the Shadow Boundary gone."
Sir Henri Friday December 10th, 2004 7:04:58 AM
The paladin raises his head and tells Kashmari, "I'll train with you!"
Justin Webber (DM) The hard headed Saturday December 11th, 2004 3:36:30 AM
Kalie stays quiet during everything and is letting Karfax speak yet when questions and comments are brought up.
Karfax laughs when the comment on magical items is brought up and nods, "Yes indeed, I can identify all of them for you and as a bonus if you join I will not charge you a single copper even." Karfax shrugs and simply comments on this, "Perks of joining us I guess."
Karfax smiles, "Tales of your enemy rather true or not huh, well I'm Karfax the Truthsayer and therefore unable to lie. The moment a lie comes from my mouth a Herald I am no more."
Kalie now snickers at Karfax's comment, "Must be hard being mainly our diplomat. Maybe you can be upgraded to battle Herald some day."
Karfax grins at Kalie's comment, "Battle Heralds work way to hard and anyway, finding out info is my job. My ability to disguise myself to the enemy has made me priceless to lots of battles I would say."
Karfax looks to the group again now and comments, "Enemy stories later for now there is one among you who is uncertain and one for sure who is down right against it by the sounds. Who am I to complain though, the Heralds are a mysterious bunch and even though we we're heros does not mean we are now. Yes I can think like any of you and reason it out." Karfax looks to Kashmari, "Dear lady, Laden is a man bent on power. Yes you could learn so much from him and his spoon which is a living artifact and also psionic power increaser. Laden wants power though so quite simply would you learn anything really or be a pawn. Not to mention more psionicists live in the world who you could learn from. You seen his power of psionic summoning though and I know that must interest you."
Karfax shakes his head abit, "We have a psionic in our group also, how do you think we know your powers Kashamri? Your interests? An how everything revolves around something to gain?"
Kalie looks to Karfax, "Remember, Laden is a subject not to be spoken of from us. His existence prior to being on Har Del soil is forgotten by decree of the god we serve."
Karfax sighs and shakes his head, "I remember, promising student to dear Jarlan also. Was a shame."
Karfax closes his eyes in though and comments, "In every city we have information networks that are shared with anyone who is among our ranks. If you seek something that we can find out about or know about then you would only have to find one of us and ask. Not hard since we all have a certain guild inside all the cities called the "Helping Hand." Karfax looks to Aelanthir, "An the guilds do a host of things, identifying is one of those things but we do charge a small fee or our guilds would not run well and be questioned. We also sell goods to adventurers and helpers. Get robbed and we offer a hand up when you would normally go broke till you could make money."
Kalie speaks up now, "An if you except our lord gives onto you a power to help defeat your and our enemies. Powers that do not take away from the actual you. You join the Seekers of Darkness and gain powers from them then your excepting gifts in exhchange for something. You all have no idea about the seekers yet and how come they are so powerful."
Karfax looks to the group now as a whole and motions to the ground infront of him, "Lay the magical items here for me to look over. I will identify them shortly but first I let you think and also listen to alittle info on your enemies."
Karfax slaps his hands together and closes his eyes, "Laden is a simple half elf. He obtained part of his knowledge from a powerful person named Jarlan. His spoon is his over bearing power and is what helped him find the secret plain of psionic summons. I doubt even Kashmari has heard of it since it was just recently came to knowledge here in Har Del. Gimblus leads the Seekers of Darkness and within him is a lord demon from the 9 pits. His power, his technique is all from the demon, the demon has the power to turn this world into scortched earth and will not be satisfied once it gains complete power over Gimblus till the land is burned to nothing. The there is Karista who is a duelist, she loves the sight of blood and is quite insane. Believe it or not insanity helps her though since it renders her mind to hard to control by most spells. She kills for the love of the blood and is not bothered by who or what she kills."
Kalie flexes her wings suddenly and frowns, "An Mordis and Krelan. A blackguard and arch mage who have perfected a twin attack. My greatest foe."
Karfax laughs, "Yes, you can handle many people single handedly by two Seekers defeated you."
Kalie looks to Karfax and lightly growls, "An you know Gimblus turned Krelan against me. He was..." Kalie turns her face away from the group and Karfax, "....someone special." ------------------------------------------------ Just as the last comments are left hanging in the air in the distance something happens with the silverish split that was forming in the sky. Suddenly a loud crack is heard almost like glass broke and the sky in the silver area looks like small pieces of the sky is falling to the ground and in the falling pieces is a flaming object that shoots towards the land at a terribly fast speed.
The small flaming ball nearly hits the ground when it stops and comes shooting now, almost touching the ground as it races towards the city. (spot:16 to tell there is something really small in the ball of fire.)
The priests scream when they see the ball of fire racing towards their fort and begin to move to shut the doors to the fort. To the priests horror though the flaming ball speeds up faster like it senses that the door is going to be closed.
Within moments the ball of fire blasts into the courtyard, as it enters though the flames vanish and landing near to the group and beside Karfax and Kalie is a 3 inch almost translucent looking dragon of some sort. The little dragon other then being pure white has four wings which stretch out and it looks to each person with a single eye set in the middle of it's forhead. The dragon gives a small yelp like noise before flicking it's tail.
Karfax laughs and motions to the dragon, "Well, he could of chose a better entrance, let alone form."
Anyone who looks at the dragon can get a extremely huge sense of power radiating from it. The dragon seems to radiate peace and holyness. Something about this very small dragon gives you the sense that it is older then anything you have known, older the gods you have seen or maybe worshiped and even older then the land itself. Hart can even swear he senses a powerful link between this very small dragon and the land, trees and everything a druid seeks to protect. Sir henri can swear he feels a link between this dragon and his god Palor, Tyal can feel the same for his goddess and this dragon. Kashmari can even feel a link between this dragon and psionics. Aelanthir can sense a link between arcan magics and even divine magics and this dragon. Everyone can sense a link of some type and in some form. It's so strong that there is no need to look for it, no need to do any type of sense check. it is just there and very very powerful.
Eiras Saturday December 11th, 2004 8:36:32 AM
Eiras moves close the Heralds and says, "For the sake of the forest and to vanquish these demons, I will accept your offer."
It is easy to tell in his demeanor that he is unhappy, presumably about the decision.
Namfoodle the Thespian Saturday December 11th, 2004 2:24:56 PM
Listening with rapture clear upon his face,it appears that Namfoodle enjoys listening to stories as much as he likes telling them. He studiously takes notes.
After all the talking is done he walks over to Kashmari and looks up at her,"Listen to Namfoodle,just because your companions have decided to join the heralds,does not mean that you must. Namfoodle will think no less of you as a woman,in truth Namfoodle will think the opposite,it takes strength to remain true oneself. If the Heralds are not for you then they are not for you." Reaching up to take her hand in both of his,"You know what choice is right for you,that is the choice you must make."
Letting go of her hands he turns,"Namfoodle the Magnificent and Amazing has heard your offer and...........(Dramatic Pause)" His voice booming as he uses all of his bardic training to become the center of attention of any room he is in,"Will gladly accept your offer to become a member,and Namfoodle will go down in the history books as the most Magnificent and Amazing member in the history of the universe." He proclaims,and with a mumbling of words and a few quick gestures he is surrounded by dancing lights.(Dancing lights his natural magical ability)
Raising his hand,"Under one condition though,Namfoodle's stallwart companion must also be accepted into the order. For he is the most noble and loyal friend Namfoodle has ever met. Namfoodle cannot be a part of an order that will not allow Mule to be a member."
(He will also pay the 100gp to the priests)

Sir Henri Saturday December 11th, 2004 4:14:41 PM
The paladin stay there standing still, even at the entrance og thr Little Dragon, "Impressive!" He whispers.
Henri's mind feela bond between his Palor to the dragon, then a connection betwenn the dragon to himself, the bond goes back to Palor. The paladin wany to know more about the trouth and Knowlage on psionics. He will answers once more,"I am ready to learn,"
Mykell Zweihand Sunday December 12th, 2004 11:37:55 AM
Mykell holds his single katana in one hand now, by the case and watches the others as they go about agreeing or disagreeing. He shrugs to himself as he looks to Kashmari and nods, "It is of your own choosing I must agree so you must decide what benefits yourself more."
Mykell looks to the small dragon now as it has appeared and frowns abit as he looks to the creature. His mind swirls abit as he thinks of where he might of seen this dragon before but can only come up with a few tapestries on walls back home. Mykell finally shrugs, giving up on that and just feels the inner peace radiating off of the dragon and understands that this creature is connected to the meditations and peace that he seeks in his mind to attain his true skills.
Mykell does glance to Kashmari and wonders, "Your talents do interest me I must admit. I must seek inner peace to obtain my true potential, much like a monk. Your skills sound like they might go off of peace or atleast calmness of mind." Mykell smiles having not guessed Kashmari is a psionicist though since her skills could be from magic cast silently and Kashmari hasn't actually came out and said her skills that he knows of to the group.
Marek Isentomb d20+1=5 Monday December 13th, 2004 9:30:00 AM
Marek listens to Kalie and Karfax with interest trying to pick up the answers to his questions and dryly notes to himself His lips move an awful lot for one not saying anything. Well if it turns to a bad decision it can always be corrected at a later date
Marek nodes to the Heralds, "I am with you then Karfax and Kalie."
As the comet soon to be revealed small dragon rockets towards them, Marek reacts based on those of Kalie and Karfax. Who apparently are unconcerned and therefore he dismissee the incoming object as freindly.
As the dragon reveals itself Marek begins to feel the ease and times of peaceful tranquil days and it disturbs him greatly, for what use is adventure and a warrior if there is no risk. He shakes the unwanted thought and feeling away, perhaps a glimpse of what lies at the end of the road and nothing more.
Hart(45/64 hps), Spirit and Loran Monday December 13th, 2004 3:03:37 PM
The satyr sits down on the floor and digs for his money pouch, not having used for months. He counts out 100gp and sets them to one side. He gives the little dragon a strange but familiar nod, acknowledging him, her.... it.
Spirit plays with the coins and chews on them occassionally.
Loran spots a moth and begins stalking it.
Kashmari Monday December 13th, 2004 5:50:45 PM
Kashmari listens to the answers Kalie and Karfax give her. The answers do not make things any easier for her, in fact in few ways they make things even more difficult. She is particularly alarmed with the "forgotten by decree of the god we serve" comment. Serving a god is not her idea of a life goal; especially a god who hides knowledge for what seems its own personal reasons. She is beginning feel very isolated indeed since everyone else seems to accept the offer without question. Not for the first time she wonders if she is just too suspicious sometimes.
Kashmari is of course pleased that Namfoodle trusts her judgement and commends her for her priniciples. She smiles at the gnome bard to show her appreciation. She is also pleased that Henri won't mind training with her, thus she flashes the paladin a smile as well. Then she continues her discussion with the two heralds.
"In all the time that I have travelled this world only once before have I come across another like myself. Now Ledan shows up making it only one other that I know of. If there are so many psions around I should dearly like to know where I might find them," Kashmari points out matter-of-factly.
"You speak of diplomats and battle heralds, yet not one of those things offer me any real opportunies for self understanding it seems to me. Those do not come across as tasks one such as myself would seem suited for. I see no place for a psion among your ranks. Please enlighten me as to why my skills and abilities would be useful to you and yours."
(FYI Kashmari is being very respectful in making her statements and questions, et al.)
Kashmari grins and adds a jibe, "figuring out that I am concerned with gains is easy. I follow a mercenary path, that means living at least long enough to collect your pay."
Enough of self-humour for now, Kashmari continues with the serious issues.
"If you indeed have a psion among you then how is it that he or she can reconcile their individuality and focus on introspection with serving a god?"
Kashmari really wants to know how that can be done, since she honestly believes that true "power" comes from within through self-knowledge. On the other hand she has seen the divine spellcasters she now travels with do some notably interesting things.
"I need more compelling reasons to accept your offer I must admit. Serving a god certainly holds no interest what-so-ever to me; gifts or no gifts."
Then the dragon shows up...
The feeling of great power radiating from the dragon and the fact that it radiates a connection to psionics put Kashmari visibly on guard. She knows of psionic abilities which can; and do, manipulate others' thoughts to benefit the psion - in a very limited way she can do this herself. Kashmari reflexively suspects this to be an attempt to manipulate her. Not good when she needs to make a potentially life altering choice for or against becoming a herald.
The half-elven psion looks to Kalie and Karfax with a questioning look, a look that seems to say "what are you two up to?" Her continuing undecidedness is appearent as well. Hopefully they will see fit to explain the dragon creature and just what it is up to.
"When you can honestly tell me that I need not ever give up my sovereignity to a god, and can give me a good explanation as to why joining the Heralds is a benefit for a psion and not just a means to an end for some god's schemes, then I will throughly think through your offer and give you an informed reply."
Kashmari politely answers the two heralds and sends a really suspicious look the dragons way. She wishes that they had brought the psion-herald here, that would have made diciding much easier.
The psion acknowledges Mykells comments with a new smile.
"Inner peace isn't what I would call what I do. Meditating is a better descriptor. I am nothing like a monk however."
Kashmari will not futher explain how psionics work or state anything more about their nature at this time. She is content to let the others consider psionics to be some sort of sorcery for now. She doesn't think that this is the time or place for a course in psionics 101...
((Justin your dragon remains me of Mushu, just bleached instead of red. LOL!))
Eiras Monday December 13th, 2004 7:11:14 PM

Kashmari (OOC) Monday December 13th, 2004 7:18:00 PM
((Oh no! I didn't mean to say that I thought that everyone made the choice easily. I meant to convey that Kashmari perceives it that way, and we all know that perceptions are not always correct. I hope that no one is offended.))
Justin Webber (DM) Talks Cont.... Monday December 13th, 2004 7:33:57 PM
Karfax and Kalie both just shake their heads at some of the comments said and motion to the small dragon, sepaking once, "Lord, if you would please."
The dragon yelp once and it's body erupts into a glow and then vanishes completely to leave a human female standing there. She wears a pure silver dress of beautiful design and of craftsmanship that is so unmarked and different that it could not of been made by mortal hands. The lady radiates a beauty to her that is remarkable and her charm is so strong that most men would be drawn to her in a instant. She smiles and bows now before speaking, "I see being a dragon is maybe a bit much for you so maybe this form is better."
The lady looks to Eiras, Kashmari and all others that seem reluctant in their joining or even bothered, "I seek not to trick you into nothing so only speak your mind and ask what you will. I have more patience then you or any mortal would ever understand. I know none of you know me but yet you can also feel a connection to me and I feel connected to everything. In this sense you are right, I am the creator god/goddess. I take any form I see fit and my powers dwarf almost all powers anyone knows." The lady looks to Kashmari, "I am stronger then the gods these priests wish to resurrect and I'm stronger then the god the Seekers wish to resurrect....I'm stronger then both the gods together since I created them. I created all the gods and even this land you stand on. The world of psionics, the world of magics....I'm a divine source of magic...pure, strong and powerful."
The lady waits a few moments for what she said to sink in before continuing, "With my power I could very well stop what is going on in this world but I do not take a active roll in it. You see I believe that you all have the deciding factor in your lives, the way you live, the survival or fall of this world is in all this worlds hands. I however believe that a balance should be maintained. I do not want to see what I have created be destroyed by anything and this is not the time for gods to walk among humans or rule over them." The lady waves her hand around to indicate the temple, "Balance can only be maintained if neither of the gods come to power. Also if they come to power and fight can you imagine what will happen to this place you all call home? imagine god like magics and forces clashing over the lands? The clash of powerful magics can bring new or destroy magics and other powers throughout the world."
The lady looks to the group as a whole again and speaks up gently, "You would be doing things for me so to speak as Heralds of Light but beyond seeking balance your life is your own. Anyway, something we wish among members is that you seek personal improvements and we hope that we can aid in that mission. An young lady, I will send our psionicist to meet with you as you might wish. Maybe he will be of some help."

Hart looks up as the lady appears. He's not suprised by her appearance, he simply returns to the counting of coin, which he isn't used to.
Spirit moves around coin piles, as Hart swats him away.
Loran eats the moth he stalked.
Sir Henri Monday December 13th, 2004 11:44:48 PM
The paladin is not suprised at the shape change from dragon to beautiful woman. He smiles because this is more pleasent to his eyes. after listening to what this goddest was saying, he turn his head towards Kaskmari "Well! It look like you will not be training with me!!"
Fern Tuesday December 14th, 2004 4:49:56 AM
Fern stares in wonder as the dragon appears and remains quietly listening.
Marek Isentomb Tuesday December 14th, 2004 10:03:27 AM
Marek doesn't know what to think, All his life he has followed the teachings if not the embodiment of Sif. Skill, excellence and self realization through the mastery of war and steel. He always realized that others were beyond him, most notably, those focusing on the divine and arcane mysteries. And as of late, Kashmari has introduced him to a new power of inner realization, psionics.
It mattered not to him, for his heart and path did not lead down that of power or even glory and riches like his companions. Marek did it for personal satisfaction and accomplishment. The thrill, the travel and the adrenaline rush was second to none.
But this, this is too much, deities weilding cosmos altering powers, claiming to have created all and the gods themselves were as puppets to Marek. Too much.
Marek gives a quick sharp salute to the Heralds, pivots on his heel and heads towards the building where they bedded down the other night.

Looking to heralds and their mistress,then turning to Kashmari,"We have all joined for our own personal needs my beautiful one. Some for more selfish reasons than others,some have joined to make a difference,others to finally be truly accepeted in a group. I joined for the most selfish of reasons,I can admit,but no matter what our reasons for joining are we are all thriving to accomplish the same goal."
Looking around the room,"I think you should hear from someone that is close to you,maybe you should consult your brother for advice. When a difficult choice needs to be made sometimes a little advice from a loved one can clear the murky waters."
Taking advantage of the moment,"My friends,we have ventured into the bowels of the very earthe we walk upon every day of our lives,we have met new friends and seen great things. I think difficult choices would be made more bearable,after a little celebration. So let us eat drink and be merry!" Drawing his lyre from his back he immediatly begins to strum it's delicate strings with his tiny fingers.(Perform 25)
He plays his lyre,tells jokes,sings,juggles and even does a short tumbling routine.The tiny figure seems to have an endless supply of energy,even though there are clearly peaks and valleys in the quality of what can only be called his one gnome show,it is evident that he is pouring his heart and soul into this performance. And he continues alternating his entertainment selection as long as the has an audience.(Perform Comedy 10 Perform Singing 23 Sleight of Hand 15 Jump 6 Tumble 12 Con Check 14 to keep up the intensity of his performance)

Eiras listens and watches the antics, his face giving away nothing, nor does he offer any other words.
Kashmari Tuesday December 14th, 2004 3:18:25 PM
Kashmari studies the lady goddess. Kashmari is almost awed by the lady.
"Yes, please do send your Herald to speak with me. I have need of his insight."
Kashmari will treat the goddess the same as any other person of rank. The fact that she even exists bothers Kashmari quite a bit however, now she will be forced to have to rethink how she sees the world and the beings that affect it.
The psion listens to Namfoodle's council and nods slowly.
"My brother and I will be discussing this at length I assure you my friend. Though neither he nor I are much used to serving others only on the basis of an ideology."
"Selflessness isn't an impulse I follow very often Namfoodle, and we all make a difference in the world just by living and thinking. I must say that my reasons for doing want I do must be selfish as well."
Kashmari leaves to find a quiet place to consider everything she has heard and seen, and to make a decision; hopefully after having has a chance to learn how that unusual psion that is also a herald deals with the conflicts he surely must have had. She will motion for her brother to join her if he wishes.
Before going too far she does say to Henri,
"we might still train together, but I believe that you will find me woefully inadequate as a sparring partner." She chuckles as she leaves the group for a few hours.
Aelanthir Tuesday December 14th, 2004 3:27:59 PM
Aelanthir slowly contemplates everything that has been happening and what has been said he then turns and walks over to Kashmari. "Kashmari, I am willing to join as they declair themselves as a neutral force not wanting to see either group get ahead of the other. I am also going on my compulsion for acquireing knowledge and magic as you well know I can't just seem to pass up."
Aelanthir will then move over towards the Heralds and lay everything that needs to be identified out for the Herald to look at.
OOC: I will be sending out a division sheet for the treasure we have recieved as soon as everything has been identified. I would like everyone to let me know what they would like to claim once I have sent out the sheet please.

Mykell shakes his head as he listens to everything that is said and sighs softly as he nods, "Well, I have already agreed to join so that is that. Everything is fine as is for me, no need to explain this more."
Mykell walks by, tapping Kashmari on the shoulder as he has ignored the goddess's beauty, "Maybe later I can see about some food for us if you wouldn't mind having a meal with me m'lady."

Justin Webber (DM) Talks Ending and Renewed Life Given Wednesday December 15th, 2004 11:16:28 AM
The lady shakes her as everyone moves off to do their own thing and looks to Karfax and Kalie before speaking to them, "Kalie, to the North they are of need of your services. A small town is being built in the wilderness and is or will be attacked. You know what to do, followers of mine are in the mix and will play a great role later in our keeping balance."
Kalie grins and steps back, suddenly flexing her wings as slowly battle armor forms around her and a single rapier rests in her right hand, "Divine protetion and judgement will be made this day m'lady."
The lady shakes her head, "No going over board this time, evil or not the enemy does deserve mercy even from a hardened battle Herald."
Kalie grins and begins flapping her wings as she takes lift off and calls out, "When you send me m'lady then you know the need of help if great. I have never failed and leave excellence. I'm Kalie of the Crown." With that Kalie speads off to the North, her rapier glinting breifly in the light.
Karfax shakes his head as he speaks, "If only she wasn't so excellent in her work at times. I know she believe in leaving no enemy standing and then you leave no threat but still. M'lady maybe you should send Nordis too."
The lady nods and thinks it over, "Your right, Nordis hasn't been out for some time and his healing arts may be of great use. Nordis of the Light will go too. I leave you to this work Karfax and then you must head back to your homelands. Things will need sorting there."
Karfax nods and smiles, "As you wish m'lady, my silver tongue and ability of truth will prevail in the task. Now on to this treasure for these folks."
Karfax runs a finger nail over each item layed infront of him. The long nail making a soft scratching noise but leaving no mark at all as he whispers and talks to himself. After bit he pulls out a ink pen and paper and writes in his own language what each item is and hands it to whoever is close. (the writting is in oriental script)
(Items are as follows) Longsword1: (longsword+2, 30ft sight, cast darkness 3 times a day. Wants to defend the weak. Longsword Int:12 Wis:12 Cha:10)
Wand2: Wand of cure moderate wounds charges:34 ------------------------------------------------
Longsword1 now that it's identified begins a strange effect though, Henri can feel a pull to it as if the longsword is calling him, telling him to take it. (Will:16 to resist the call.)
Karfax smiles and slowly stands as he speaks to the person he gave the paper too, "My duty calls but the man who is coming to speak to Kashmari will speak more to you." Karfax now turns and walks to a shadow that glows slightly now and walks through it, vanishing quickly from sight.
The lady however walks into the temple now, letting the group to their own things.
Kashmari finds a new suprise when she enters her room. A tall high elf stands in her room with his back to her and he seems to be staring out the window. This man seems different from all the priests or even the Heralds in the sense that he wears a dark gray nobleman's clothes with silver bordering. His strange for a elf, black hair is tied back in a pony tail and a single rapier rests at his him.
The man does turn around when Kashmari enters her room or even speak but the door does shut, softly on it's own and a chair slides over to Kashmari, stopping just at her feet. The man still having not turned now finally speaks, "My mistress says you need to speak to someone like you, am I right?" The man's voice sounds noble even and it is quite clear by his standing that he must be.
The man waits only alittle bit for Kashmari's answer before speaking again, "So, you wonder of your own kind is it? Psionicists? You have not been to the city I would take it called the "Spire"." (Kashmari can make a knowledge psionics check of DC:12 to know she has heard legends of a small floating island that is rumored to be ruled by psionicist. The place is even rumored to have a council of psionicists who decide on various issues for the psionic people.) The man now turns to looks at Kashmari, his almost hawk like eyes looking at her closely before he speaks again, "So many thoughts, so many possiblities...right?....if this a fluke? is he just a mage with mind magics or a very good guesser maybe? what to do? where to go? So many questions is there not?" The man now sits down in a chair also, crossing his hands gently infront of him as he gazes at Kashmari, "Forgive me for not introducing myself, I am Hindro Kren'des Efestal. As you may guess I work for the lady you met or atleast assist her in matters that I can. In my off time I spend time usually perfecting my skill for Laden one day must answer to his master if I'm so lucky as to meet him again myself. I can simply offer advice to you though as a psionicist her really hasn't chosen her way is a loose mind in which needs to be given a path. The question is, which path is currect for you? My path lead me to one of helping people and in doing so it has helped me obtain more control and power and finally having seen the Spire. For Laden it was to obtain power also but to use it to destroy and kill. For those in the Spire most seek to just live, learn and master their skills where some of them also wish to leave and see the world, find their own place in whatever form it is. An you, what will be your path? tell me you concerns, tell me what you wish...I have a sense of wanting to meet more of your own type but is that all?" The man waits now silently for Kashmari to speak, his patience seeming to great as if he has all the time in the world.
A gem on the man's sword does cetch Kashmari's eye and it is clearly a psionic recepticle stone.
(OOC:Letting everyone enjoy their down time for now. Hey everyone, role play, this is your chance to let your character's personality shine, or let a soft spot show, what ever you wish.)
Sir Henri d20+7=15 Wednesday December 15th, 2004 12:35:22 PM
The paladin watches as Karfax finger nail goes over the treasure, Then Henri sences a pull weak at first, But then growing stronger like a lovely song of a bird. It grows until he cannot no longer resist, he picks up the sword and ask Karfax "May I take this sword? It seem to want me."
Marek Isentomb Wednesday December 15th, 2004 6:23:49 PM
Marek feels right now sleep is needed, he just joined an abviously powerful organization with far reaching ramifications.
To the group he says, "I suggest we sleep on it and divide the treasure in the morning."
Marek goes to bed.
Kashmari d20+14=27 d20+14=16 d20+11=27 Wednesday December 15th, 2004 6:52:40 PM
Kashmari enters her room and moves just beyond the door; where she stops. The door closing on its own doesn't bother her one bit. The psion is indeed surprised by her visitor but hopefully she has overcome that reaction before the man turns to face her.
Immediately the half-elven psion takes note of the Elven man's clothing and demeanor. You could suppose that she is somehow 'appraising' him. So far as she can tell he seems normal for an Elf; except that something is different. Something that Kashmari cannot quite figure out. Kashmari cannot imagine that it would be psionics that would come across as unusual, so what is it? 'Thanks be that he has a great sense of fashion.'
Kashmari ignores the offered chair for now. She does answer his first question quickly, "Correct. Word certainly travels fast. Your lady must have some very lofty agenda to put such a high priority on my doubts. I was not expecting to be graced with a visit from Elven nobility." Kashmari decides to opt for honesty, pure and simple.
She listens to all of the questions he is presuming she has wondered about. When the opportunity arises she will answer a few of them.
"It is not so much that I wonder about other psionicists. It is more that I have not met more than a scant few in all of my travels," Kashmari certain recalls hearing about the Spire, "I have heard of the Spire, but left it considered a mere utopia - a dream or legend if you wish."
The clearer it becomes to her that Master Efestal must be another psion; and seemingly a powerful one, the more excited she becomes. If he is as perceptive as he claims he won't miss that.
"For all I know about you - which is of course nothing. You could be any of the things you said. However I somehow do not believe that your Goddess would waste your time, sending you here if you didn't have something in common with me. Since only a psionicist who found it viable to believe in a Preternatural entity could possibly sway my opinions and solve my doubts."
Finally Kashmari decides to sit down. She never once stops looking at the Herald. She is not about to come across as nervous or lacking in strength of will. After he finally introduces himself Kashmari allows herself a small smile.
"I suppose I hardly need to say anything about myself. Certainly your Lady has told you all you need to know about me," she smiles charmingly, "however just in case she decided to be secretive, my name is Kashmari Willowholm."
She briefly contemplates what Hindro says about lifepaths. "What makes you think that I do not already follow a path? Granted I work for others solving their problems for gold rather than selfless martyrism. Does the role of Herald necessarily involve having to want to save others whether they wish it or not?"
Her face shows an expression of polite challenge.
"While on the subject of heralds... how do you reconcile what you are and all that being a psion entails with submitting your will to an entity beyond yourself?" This is one of the key questions keeping Kashmari from excepting any offer of joining the heralds. Her body language does subtlely reflect this.
"I will admit that one of my concerns is most certainly losing myself; my right to determine my own path as you call it. I don't have a great need for power. Self understanding is what I care for; and loyalty to my brother. I just cannot see any true benefit to serving your Lady. I dare say that we should be able to do what is necessary on our own?"
Kashmari leans forward in her chair, "tell me what would I gain from her offer that I could not achieve on my own? A sense of belonging would be a good thing I am sure, but I already have that with my brother. Seeing the Spire; and knowing that it truly exists would be a wonder, but I could live without that," Kashmari pauses before admitting, "I do often miss having some one who can honestly understand me and what I am capable of achieving. You seem to know quite a bit about me. Which path do you think I would be suited to?"
She remembers the demons in the Shadow Boundary and wonders if that will be mentioned. Naturally Kashmari would love to hear some of his person history and more about him, since he surely must have an interesting life. Now Kashmari politely waits to see if Hindro can actually prove to her that joining the Heralds is the right thing to do. Hopefully he can also tell her how she can personally benefit from such a choice. She feels that if anyone can understand her hesitation if would have to be him.

Hart(45/64 hps), Spirit and Loran Wednesday December 15th, 2004 6:57:16 PM
Active Spells: Wood Wose (6 Hours extended, rod used, cast in the morning)
Prepared Spells~ Orisons: Detect Magic, Create Water x2 First Level: Detect Snares and Pits, Produce Flame, Obscuring Mist Second Level: None Rod: 2/3 used Pearl 1: Unused
(Note: Justin, Hart never introduced himself to the Heralds, and he won't. He doesn't often use his name or others names.) The satyr eyes the robe and leather armor with some curiousity. The potions and wands don't interest him, however, if the wands aren't claimed, he'll carry them. He stands, sets down his flute and clops over to the suit of armor and feels the quality, then feels the quality of the armor he has on. "I am interested een thees armor. The armor I am wearing will go eento the pile eef I can oos thees armor." He doesn't look twice at the swords. If no one objects, Hart will take the new armor and replace it with the old armor. As far as he is concerned, the items found as a group remain the groups unless otherwise stated.
The party should know now what Hart's opinion is on treasure, gold and belongings. His philosophy is as follows, 'When you take, you should give. Many peoples think, "Eef you make eet, take eet or buy eet eet's yours." Everything belongs to nature. We own nothing, nature owns us.'
(OOC: The armor he currently wears was part of the last loot in July, it is a +1 shadow leather armor, adds +5 to hide checks, doesn't stack with cloaks of elvenkind)
Spirit plays with the robe, hiding in and out of the sleeves.
Loran watches the people around him looking at the pieces of pointy metal and wonders what is so interesting. He cocks his head frequently.
Hart suggests that he goes fishing later. He asks where the nearest and best pond is for fishing.
Hart(45/64 hps), Spirit and Loran Thursday December 16th, 2004 5:07:06 AM
The satyr realizes the group is apart currently and decides that he'll wait for everyone to be here to answer his question about the armor.
Sir Henri Thursday December 16th, 2004 6:37:34 AM
The paladin answers Hart's question. "If it talks to you or if you feel it want you. Then take it." Henri feel the sword, polishs the blade to a miorror finish. Then goes to his room for his prayers and sleep.
Eiras Thursday December 16th, 2004 8:09:49 AM
"I wouldn't mind the cloak of elvenkind and a healing draught," Eiras mentions before he heads back to the quarters for some rest.
Mykell Zweihand Thursday December 16th, 2004 9:50:01 AM
Mykell goes to do his own thing while everyone else does. He does spend alot of time practicing by himself. Mykell seems to like his new fighting style of using the heavy wooden sheath as a secondary weapon.
After a small practice he walks to his room and kneels on the floor and begins praying gently, mainly to clear his mind.
After all this he will seek out some food and see if he can possibly get something special scrounged up to share with Kashmari.
Marek Isentomb Thursday December 16th, 2004 6:26:24 PM
AFter a night of fitless sleep, Marek has come to a singular conclusion. First and foremost he is a thrill seeker of high adventurer now possibly embarking on the most challenging adventure of his life. The powers involved and at what levels are truly not relevant, only the matter and task at hand. To think too much on the greater ramifications will certainly just hurt his head.
Marek, with a fresh out look if not the same dirty physical look, returns to the group gathering room at breakfast to discuss future moves and the treasure from the earlier victory.
"I would have the chainmail and one of the curing potions." he offers, "The rest while holds interest is not of as much importance"
Kashmari (treasure note) Friday December 17th, 2004 5:14:35 AM
Kashmari would only be interested in: -Cloak2: cloak of charisma+2 -any of the cure potions -maybe even the Barkskin +3 potion?
The rest of the treasure hold items she either already has or cannot use.
Justin Webber (DM) Nights and Mornings Again Friday December 17th, 2004 10:39:16 AM
Some of the group has finally set off for sleep while others still go about their own thing and Kashmari has her meeting with Hindro.
Henri finds that the sword he has just gotten enjoys being in the paladin's presence and even at one point speaks mentally to the paladin, "I think we will make a fine team for now Henri." The sword speaking may of been a shock but no matter how much Henri tries to get it to talk again he just can't seem to get it to speak but there is always the pressence of not letting the sword go in Henri's head (Not letting it go in the sense of selling it, etc.) Karfax does in turn after watching Henri and the sword speak up before he leaves, "Sir, you have the sword of our departed friend. Will you please hand it over to me so I can see that it returns to his family?"
Hindro listens to what Kashmari says and reaches up to rub his chin as he thinks over her comments, "My mistress started seeking me out once my true powers began. I know she is a goddess and something quite stronger then me but I would like to see peace brought to the psionicists of the world. The Spire exists as a safe haven for them since many people consider our powers as...well, something less then good. You weren't born yet when the rumors were being spread of psionics going to take over the powers of magic or replace them. That sparked a giant fight between us and magic users. How very interesting that you can use psionics and yet your brother uses magics. A very interesting thing in deed and part of why the Spire watches you and a few others."
Hindro stretches and stands slowly to his full height, "Being a member of the Herald's offers the chance of doing good I know but it offers money for the user, steady money which as you know is hard to find at times. An the chance of seeing wonders not every adventuerer would ever dream of. The Spire for instance is limited access only. The great temple of Poi that is under the ocean is another...ahh I have forgotten you do not know of the temple of Poi. That temple trains people in all arts so they can become the best in the world. Karfax studied there for 20 years or more." Hindor walks by Kashmari slowly and pats her shoulder once, "It is hard to explain to someone young why she should join the Heralds. If you were seeking to just do good deeds, get your reputation boosted, make plentyo f money in doing so then there is plenty....however I can say maybe a couple things that will get you interested. Join and you would see me more and I can try to help you with your powers, you could train with me once you obtained the ability to grow in power. You also would meet Ledan again for you and your friends are already marked targets by the Seekers of Darkness and I believe you will get to see the Spire some day in the future....many mysteries await you and many trials. You hold the key but you must decide which door to open." Hindro walks to the door of Kashmari's room and it swings open for him without him touching it, "Rest and decde later. You have lots to think about, many decisions to make. Something for you lays on your desk by your bed. Farwell till morning." With that said Hindro leaves the room and the door shuts behind him silently. On the desk of Kashmari's desk is a small crystal clear gem that Kashmari can swear would hold some psionic energy is she wanted to let it hold some. ------------------------------------------------
With all the meetings and talks over the night slowly passes and before long though the day breaks again and birds can be heard chirping as day light begins slowly filtering through the windows of the rooms.
Members of the group slowly rise from their beds and meet to discuss the treasure or whatever their normal morning rituals may be.
Mykell is able to find with some gold as a tip a priest that gets him a bottle of wine and a nice selection of food.
(Jay:Did I mess up and have one of the Herald's use Hart's name? if I did then sorry about that. I didn't do what I meant to do and through in a Will check since the goddess was going to scan each persons mind for atleast their name if one isn't given but I forgot to do that so that didn't happen.)
Sir Henri Friday December 17th, 2004 12:01:16 PM
After the paladin has wash off the dirt of the day, Prayers are all said. He pick up his new sword with gentel hand, turning it this way and that way, swishing it a few times. the Sword seen to speak to him, but not in sound words. The sword seem to talk to him from inside his head, Like the time his God Palor wanted him in his fold. Henri talk to the sword, nothing not a though. Then He tries to think to the sword 'what is you name? what shall I call you?". Still nothing.
As he is so busy with his new sword, Henri did nor hear Karfax come into his cubical, only when Karfax ask him about the Samari's Sword. "Oh! I almost for got about the promise I made to his memory. The paladin serches in his belonging but it's not there. Then he remembers he put it with his Celestrial War Horse Flash! "Sir! I don't have it right now, But I'll have it first thing tomorow morning. If that's alright with you."
In the morning the paladin dresses himself in a shirt, pants, boots and his tunic. Out he goes in to the big field, raising his hands to the sky, he calls out "Flash! My beloved friend, Come to me, I need you." Out of the heavens come a flash of lightning and there in frount of him, stands his horse ready for his master. Henry's hand does in between the saddle and the blanket. There in his hands is the sword wrap, in a blue satin wraping is the Samari's Sword. Henri turns to see Karfax standing there ready to receive the sword. "Here is his sword, He died bravely saving all of us from Evil."
Mykell Zweihand Friday December 17th, 2004 5:34:11 PM
Mykell smiles as he was able to get some special food and some wine to share with Kashmari and makes his way to her room. He happily tips the priest abit more money to help bring the wine and food to Kashmari's room.
Once at Kashmari's room Mykell coughs abit and brushes imaginary dust and wrinkles from the front of his traditional samurai armor and then knocks on the door, waiting for her to answer before entering with the food and wine and has it laid on the table in her room. Mykell smiles abit nervously and speaks up, "Morning Kashmari, I thought you might like a nice meal and maybe abit of company. I mean, you were thinking about things pretty hard yesterday so if you rather be alone then I understand." Mykell motions to the wine and food that the priest lays out on the table before the priest leaves, "I was able to come up with some fruit and even some eggs an abit of ham and the priest was nice enough to find a light bottle of wine." Mykell now bows low to Kashmari which is common tradition for his race.
Kashmari d20+4=16 d20+14=33 Friday December 17th, 2004 6:46:59 PM
Kashmari has just barely woken up when she hears a knock at her door. She rolls out of bed and combs her fingers repeatedly through her long blonde hair until it looks nice enough. She quickly straightens the bedclothes, and her nightgown.
The half-elven woman opens her door wearing just a thin shift made of soft pearlessent light grey silk. The shift is not very long, it goes down to almost her knees. The light, shimmering silk clings to her shapely body in all of the right places. She looks as lovely as ever, but perhaps not as blindingly beautiful as the Goddess did last night?
Kashmari somehow mangages to hide her surprise and dons an amused smile instead. She stands framed in the doorway for a few seconds before opening her door wide enough for Mykell and his 'hired help' to enter. They have already had a good look at her so why do something silly like try and hide behind the door? She calmly ties her slightly messed up hair back into a loose pony-tail; the tying leather is tied low on the pony-tail almost near the pony-tail's end. Kashmari does have the good grace to be blushing very lightly herself, but the lighting is maybe not goos enough for that to show??
With a low laugh she comments, "Had I known I would have visitors so early in the morning I would have dressed for the occasion. You are welcome to come in or not..."
Of course it is clear that she just got up if one bothers to look around the room. Kashmari doesn't seem the least bit bothered about her attire. She doesn't have anything to put on over her nightgown anyway. The psion sits noticably lady-like on the chair nearest the window. She has an expectant; and still amused, expression on her face as she waits to hear how bothered Mykell might be. Kashmari is clearly amused by the priest's reactions though, since he could hardly possibly ignore her appearence. She half expects at least the priest to refuse to enter. The contrast between Mykell's armor and her 'state of "undress"' is almost funny to the psion.
"Mykell I would be interested in hearing why you chose to opt for becoming a Herald. *she raises an eyebrow in question* Or would you rather wait until I am more appropriately dressed?"
Kashmari idly picks up the unusual crystal from her desk and studies it almost intently. Patiently she waits for some form of reply. She absolutely recognizes the crystal's potential as a psionic device.
(Appraise 16, Knowledge Psionics 33)
Tyal Friday December 17th, 2004 8:22:07 PM
Tyal finds himself up early the next morning and outside of the building. He is just wandering around aimlessly as he ponders over the turn of events.
Though he has kept to himself a lot lately he cannot help but wonder as to what the others had thought of joining the Heralds. Still he was not going to ask any of them. He even wonders what the lady will decide on this day or if she can come to a decision. "My life has always been run by a Goddess...but Inana does not press herself until battle is before me...she rarely favors any side even if her priests are on one side."
Hart(54/64 hps) and Loran d20+16=21 d4=3 d4=3 d20+17=23 Friday December 17th, 2004 8:35:32 PM
Active Spells: Wood Wose (cast in the morning, lasts 8 hours) Goodberries (6)- Lasts 4 days.
Prepared Spells~ Orisons: Guidance, Detect Magic, Create Water, Light, Purify Food and Drink First Level: Regenerate Light Wounds, Speak with Animals Second Level: One with the Land, Creeping Cold, Brambles Rod: 1 charge used Pearl 1: Unused
(OOC: No Justin, you didn't use his name that I know of. I was simply reminding you about his little quirk. He doesn't often use someones actual name.)
Hart rests completely that night, healing up and readying himself for the new tasks ahead, the tasks that may be appointed by the Heralds of Light upon the satyr. (Natural healing, 5HD creature and 4 druid levels, heals 9 hps.)
Spirit disappears sometime before dinner.
Loran leaves the structure in the evening and hunts for dinner, returning just before dawn.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
The next morning, Hart rises early, as usual and goes out for a morning walk to find a quiet place for prayer and renewal of spells. He searches for berries and another nice piece of wood for another instrument. (Knowledge nature 21) He returns to the building and goes off to his room. The satyr is alone with his thoughts for the first time since he started on this journey.
Playing his flute, he contemplates what the Heralds want for the world and wonders if he should believe them. He thinks about the Darkness and the Boundary, the group he is with, and the balance within it. Thinking. 'These people are confusing and irritating, but for once, I don't mind spending time with others. I do desperately need out of this unnatural city.'
A few hours later as everyone else is rising, he returns to the room with the treasure and the like, the old armor with him. "I weell put thees armor een the pile, eef I can use the newest leather."
(OOC: The old armor he currently wears was part of the last loot in July, it is a +1 shadow leather armor, adds +5 to hide checks, doesn't stack with cloaks of elvenkind)
At about mid-morning, around 10, he casts goodberry, twice(getting 6 goodberries), on the bunch of berries he found earlier that morning. He summons Spirit back (using the rod). The little semi-translucent figure dances around and materializes fully, hugging Hart's thigh.
Hart rummages in his pack and begins to reorganize, at the same time, removing what looks to be breakfast. Hickory nuts, mushroom wine and salted cod and to finish it off, he chews a lotus petal(running low in supply). He removes a partial bottle of Elven Aleeian Wine, the bottle he shared a few night back, and sets it on top of the old armor. After he cleans out his pack, he sits cross legged and plays a calming tune on the new flute for everyone as they eat (perform 23).
Eiras Saturday December 18th, 2004 11:55:58 AM
"I wondor where our fortunes will lead us, tying our fate to the Heralds," Eiras ponders aloud to the others of the group.
Mykell Zweihand Sunday December 19th, 2004 6:22:54 PM
Mykell at first doesn't notice that Kashmari isn't in normal clothes but once it hits him he quickly steps infront of her while the priest brings in the food. Mykell being in his armor and covers any sight of Kashmari pretty well and his back is to her as to cover the blush on his face.
After the priest has left the room Mykell leaves his back to Kashmari and speaks gently as his eyes train on the table and the food as to not go wondering around, "Actually I can wait while you dress, out of the room of course out of respect."
Mykell steps into the hall and shuts the door silently and await Kashmari to tell him to come back in. When he is finally able to enter his face is only lightly pink from earlier.
Kashmari Sunday December 19th, 2004 6:46:02 PM
Kashmari does something completely uncharacteristic - she howls with laughter. Mykell can hear muffled (through the door), continued but less spontaneous laughter as the overly amused half-elven woman dresses.
Kashmari finds a particularly flattering, form-hugging, soft blue cote-hardie gown with loose, flared "trompet" sleeves - beautifully embroidered. The "collar" consists of a wide embroidered band that enables the gown to be designed so her shoulders remain bare. She wears a matching embroidered belt resting on her hips. She brushes her hair carefully and ties it back nearly the same way as earlier; but now her hair is tied back into a short loose braid with the hair below the tie remaining a pony-tail. She wears a silver filigree choker as her only jewelry. In essence she might as well be making an appearence at some royal court, rather than a simple breakfast.
Kashmari opens the door again and sits down on the same chair as earlier. She expects Mykell to close the door behind himself after entering. Now she looks almost regal, and very much a Lady. This is the way she actually prefers to dress when she gets the chance. Though her travelling leathers and silks are more often worn than anything; but such is life for a merc.
"I imagine that this is far more preferable to you Mykell? I couldn't help but note the terribly bright color on your cheeks."
The psion is trying hard not to break into peals of laughter again.
"Wine?" She asks Mykell as she fills her own glass.
Kashmari (addendum) Sunday December 19th, 2004 6:51:34 PM
Kashmari will ask if there are any questions he wants to ask her. She will answer what she feels is necessary (on a need to know basis). She will not say whether or she will join the Heralds - she will say "wait and see" instead. Kashmari will of course be friendly in demeanour and try to make this a pleasant meal with hopefully interesting chit-chat.
Fern Sunday December 19th, 2004 11:48:06 PM
Fern spends the night reading books from the temple's library (if she's allowed to take any to her room) eating, and sleeping. In the morning she mends her clothes before bathing. She will practice her archery and swordfighting with anyone who is willing.
ooc: sorry for not posting, what's the nonmagical treasure we have gathered this time?
Marek Isentomb Monday December 20th, 2004 9:20:00 AM
Marek hits the breakfast table with a vengence. If it appears edible in ends up on his plate and is even quicker to find his mouth. You'd think he had not eaten in days. Occassionally, if the food is piping hot he would pause to grab a utensil, otherwise a leather gauntleted hand seems to suffice.
After ravenging his breakfast, Marek takes a large drink of water and fires across the table at teh populace in general.
"All right we got some treasure to split up and from what I have heard no real conflicts of interest. The Satyr is getting the leather and putting his back in the pot soto speak, Henri is taking the one long sword, me the chain mail and its too early in the morning for me to remember what else has been claimed."
Justin Webber (DM) Breakfast&Treasure Monday December 20th, 2004 10:08:17 AM
Breakfast commences with the group and a large variety of food is placed on the table for the group to tear into. Most of it being fruits but there is some meat, eggs and bread in the line up also. As breakfast goes the subject of how the treasure should be split comes up and who gets what.
(OOC:All non magical treasure was each not worth taking *ie, broken in combat, etc*)
Mykell and Kashmari have a nice breakfast in Kashmari's room. Talking about this and that as they eat.
Kashmari (treasure note, just reiterating this in case it gets missed) Monday December 20th, 2004 5:44:28 PM
Kashmari would only be interested in: -Cloak2: cloak of charisma+2 -any of the cure potions -maybe even the Barkskin +3 potion?
The rest of the treasure hold items she either already has or cannot use.
Hart(54/64 hps), Spirit and Loran Monday December 20th, 2004 6:15:25 PM
Active Spells: Wood Wose (cast in the morning, lasts 8 hours) Goodberries (6)- Lasts 4 days.

At breakfast, having eaten already, Hart picks at the fruit on the table. Removing a chalice from his pack, he says a few words and the cup fills, on its own, with wine. He drinks.
Spirit moves about, just happy to be back.
Loran swoops out of no where and grabs a hunk of meat off the table.
Also just reiterating what Hart currently has... Wearing- New Leather armor+2 silent moves Carrying for the party- Wand of cure moderate wounds 34 charges
He has also added a +1 shadow leather armor to the pile of treasure.
Aelanthir Monday December 20th, 2004 7:23:42 PM
Aelanthir looks at the others then says "I am going to claim the potions of haste and counterspell plus the wand of darkness."
Aelanthir picks up the two items and places them in his pack.
Mykell Zweihand Monday December 20th, 2004 8:52:31 PM
Mykell enjoys the meal with Kashmari, watching her as he eats and thinking before speaking, "We both have some things in common. Like your abilities are a mystery and I suppose something you can't talk much about. My abilities are a mystery to many people too or atleast my way of life, and beliefs."
Mykell sips abit of his wine before thinking and grinning, "I have a great idea. Maybe I can get Namfoodle to play some music from where I come from and I can show you and the others abit of my culture." Mykell smiles and pulls out what looks like a pair of sticks that look to be hinged together and flips it open to reveal a oriental fan with a painting of a sunset on the paper fan area. He holds the fan out to Kashmari, "A gift for you. I was going to give it to you sooner."
Mykell after Kashmari eats and has abit to drink stands and motions to the door, "Shall we see if Namfoodle will play some music from where I'm from so I can give abit of a show for everyone? Surely you and everyone will enjoy it."
Marek Isentomb Tuesday December 21st, 2004 12:00:35 AM
As no objections seem to be forthcoming, Marek moves forward and claims the elven chainmail and cure serious potion. He does not change right there however, but folds the armor and lays in on the floor next to him at the table. The potion he stows in a belt pouch.
"We still have several longswords, the robe, the cloak, a curing potion, a barkskin potion and the saytr's original leather. Kash has mentioned the cloak and both potions, but what of you Mykell, Fern and Tyal? Anything hold your interest. If not I could always use a magical backup weapon and the Merciful blade would suit that purpose well."
OOC below is the item list for easy reference and who has laid claim on what
Longsword1: (longsword+2, 30ft sight, cast darkness 3 times a day. Wants to defend the weak. Longsword Int:12 Wis:12 Cha:10) Claimed by Sir Henri

Sir Henri Tuesday December 21st, 2004 5:04:17 AM
The paladin leaves the field, to let his horse feed. He enter the house to go to breackfast with the others. Enters the room, sits at an empty place and serves himself. He will drink milk or water, but nothing that will mess with his mind.
He look up from his plate and ask "Well! What is the news of the day??"
Eiras Tuesday December 21st, 2004 8:49:10 AM
"I will take the holy longsword, it will be useful against the demons," Eiras says, picking up the scabbarded sword and holding it in his hand for now.
Fern Tuesday December 21st, 2004 1:36:22 PM "I dont really need any of the weapons. I have a +1 longsword, and while the other swords are a bit better I really need a good bow. After everyone is done choosing may I trade one of the swords for a bow?"
Fern says as she eats porridge with milk, honey, and spices.
Huur is eating a bit of meat outside.
"I also need a few days to visit my teacher who's training a giant eagle for me."
ooc: justin how far are we from the trainer? Can I now ride the eagle?
Kashmari Tuesday December 21st, 2004 5:45:24 PM
Kashmari eats her breakfast at a leisurely tempo; she sips her wine slowly as well.
"I can speak of psionics if I wish. It is not a taboo subject after all. I choose not to speak of it because there are perhaps not many who would care to listen and learn. Also coming across as somewhat 'mystic' is not a bad thing."
Kashmari smiles softly at Mykell, "if you wish to learn more about psionics; and care to take the time, then please don't hesitate to ask me."
Kashmari accepts the gift of the fan. She takes time to admire the art work, and wonder what the reason for the gift is. The psion seems slightly taken aback as Mykell determines to make a hasty exit, by suggesting some entertainment.
"Why do you feel a need to give me a gift Mykell? I am flattered and I do not mean to seem an ingrate, but I do not understand what has prompted this."
Smiling she closes the fan and slides it into her belt pouch.
"Namfoodle will hardly pass up an opportunity to entertain," Kashmari ends with a low chuckle before exiting her room. She wonders at Mykell's behaviour, but does not ask any further questions at this time.
***********************************************
When joining the others she will accept the cloak of charisma if everyone is fine with that. She will have no trouble with anyone claiming any of the potions if that would be more fair.
If there are any empty chairs at the table she will sit down and try to catch up on what the others are discussing. Some may note that she has dressed vastly different today from her usual travelling garb.
Hart, Spirit and Loran Wednesday December 22nd, 2004 1:48:11 AM
Active Spells: Wood Wose (cast in the morning, lasts 6 hours) Goodberries (6)- Lasts 3 days.

Hart looks at the rest of the new gear and wonders out loud. "No one ees taking the pointy metals?" He quirks an eyebrow. "Eenteresting."
Spirit kicks at the swords on the table.
Loran flies back to the staff and falls asleep with a full stomach.
Marek Isentomb Wednesday December 22nd, 2004 9:32:57 AM
Marek gives the merciful weapon a few test swings before returning it to its sheath and then places it with the folded elven chain. Glancing at Fern he takes the last longsword and gives the sheathed weapon a quick flip towards her. "All ya need to do is ask."
"No one wants the robe then or the old shadow armor? I say we then sell those to the guild we just joined, surely there's a wizard and rogue out there who'd buy them."
"So that takes care of treasure and food which leaves us with planning our next move. Besides not resurrecting a dragon-god, anyone got any ideas on what that move might be?"

OOC: In that list of goodies, you keep forgetting the Wand of Cure Moderate Wounds that Hart said he'd carry for the party. :)
Justin Webber (DM) Entertainment Wednesday December 22nd, 2004 1:00:54 PM
The group continues to talk about this and that, mainly treasure. Finally Kashmari and Mykell join the group in the feasting hall and Mykell asks Namfoodle if he could play some oriental type music or knows anything of that type of music.
Nothing of real note at the moment in the feast hall, some priests sit about the hall eating and talking about this and that. A few of the priests are talking of the tiny dragon that showed up and then turned into the goddess you all spoke too but other wise nothing is going on yet.
A lady priest does approach Hart and looks at him a few moments almost shyly. Hart can figure the priest lady is probably no older then 17 and before long she finally speaks, "I uhh...you see...I'm sorry for staring...I never seen one of your kind before." The lady's cheeks are flushed deep red now as she mumbles almost to low for Hart to hear, "Can I feel your horns? I seen a unicorn horn once, High Priest Bale was given one by a unicorn friend of his....I was wondering if your horn is like the unicorns?"
A priest also approaches Henri as he sits and had asked about rumors and such. The priest is a big beefy looking man and at his waist is a large mace that looks just abit over sized, "You serve a different god then us don't you? Is your god stronger then ours? hmmm, you look like alittle waif of a man, how about showing me how strong you are with a arm wrestling contest." The priest now sits down hard and slams his elbow on the table with his hand up to grasp Henri's in a armwrestling position.
Sir Henri d20+9=24 Wednesday December 22nd, 2004 3:42:02 PM
The paladin is sitting wondering if he should ask for the robe also, when a big Burly Priest interoups his though. The pe=riest sit down so hard that you can fell the floor boards shake,
Henri look up and answers his question, "Yes! My God is the Sun God. He is pretty strong, they say when in his present you have to look down or else you could go blind!"
When the priest puts his arm on the table and put his hand up to armwrestle, henri will grasp his hand. "Say when?"
OOC: if they do armwrestle, Henri roled a 24.
Aelanthir Wednesday December 22nd, 2004 4:17:11 PM
Aelanthir watches as Henri and the priest armwrestle while listening to any music that Namfoodle plays. Aelanthir will continue to eat fruits, cheese and drinks some wine.
Kashmari Wednesday December 22nd, 2004 4:56:04 PM
Kashmari doesn't really pay much attention to those around her instead she decides to meditate instead while enjoying Namfoodle's music. She will only end her meditation if spoken to or when (if?) Mykell starts doing something from his culture. Before beginning her meditation Kashmari will fold her new cloak across her lap. A glass of watered wine stands on the table nearby her.
Fern Wednesday December 22nd, 2004 6:47:08 PM
after breakfast Fern finds someone with a map and finds out how far it is to her teacher's home. She will then discuss with the group the possibility of either her going there by herself or the group traveling there in a few days.

Hart is sitting, just minding his own business, cleaning his pipes and flute. He ignores the girl for a few minutes, but is startled when she actually speaks, and asking such a stupid question. He seems outwardly irritated by the girls comparison between satyr horns and unicorn horns. He says to her in a condescending tone, "No. Do my horns look anything like eet's horn doos? Are my horns straight? No you can not touch theem. You have now seen a satyr horns, once as well, which doos not require your hands. Good day." Hart stands, pushing past the girl, and goes to join Namfoodle in song, on his pan pipes. (Perform wind instruments, 20)
Spirit is a bit taken by the table-leg. He seems to stare at it for a very long time, unmoving, unblinking.
Loran remains asleep.
Marek Isentomb Thursday December 23rd, 2004 9:00:42 AM
Marek munches on anything near him and drinks anything he can get his hands on that is not alcoholic. Sitting back enjoying Mafoodle's practiced art and the general goings on about him. appears we are going to stay for a bit
As the big cleric sits, Marek will shift for a better view and to cheer Sir Henri on.
Eiras Thursday December 23rd, 2004 9:49:45 AM
Eiras sits off to the side, eating some cheese and drinking some wine.
Mykell Zweihand d20+8=28 d20+5=8 Thursday December 23rd, 2004 6:00:32 PM
As Mykell hears Kashamri's comment on the gift of the fan he chuckles and smiles, "The fan is simply a giving day present. If I remember right giving day is only a couple days away."
Mykell does approach Namfoodle and asks if he can play a song from Mykell's homeland. If Mykell can't get Namfoodle to then he will see if anyone else in the room may since it is possible that one or more of the priests here may know music from his homeland.
Mykell moves to the side of the room and strips out of his armor so he is in the normal clothing he wears underneath it. He brushes the smooth fabric from his homeland once and steps out into the middle of the room where there is less tables and is actually glad that he wears a light blue outfit this day since it will fit what he has planned.
When the music starts Mykell's face suddenly drops all emotion and he bigs slowly to spin once, as he turns back to face everyone a fan appears from each hand, the fan noticeably coming from Mykell's sleeves which he mentally doesn't like since the fans are suppose to flow smoothly from his sleeves. At this point he slowly begins kneel slightly as he does he snaps both fans open and begins to move in slow bug agile movements, the fans whirling around him almost like small blades, the sunset painted on each fan adding to the movements he makes which are perfect beyond the small fan mistake.
Mykell continues his agile and gentle movements with the fans and spins till the music ends and he snaps the fans shut right as the music ends and he bows low.
After this Mykell moves to a table and sits, breathing hard from the exertion of the constant movements of the fans, the twirling, kneeling and such.
(Perform dance:28 (nat 20 so it should be breath taking) sleight of hand:8)
Tyal Thursday December 23rd, 2004 11:47:22 PM
Tyal sits with the group this day and eats some of the food set out before them. He looks up when treasure is mentioned and just shakes his head. "There is nothing there that I really have use for." It seems that he is happy with what equipment he has at the time and goes back to eating.
He does pause long enough to look up as Mykell and Kashmari come down the steps and he finally pushes away his plate. "Not bad...lots better than trail rations." Looking back to the others he indicates what is left on the table and nods his head. "Sell what is left if that is the decision and I will take a share of the profit from that." Looking around at the small fortress he shakes his head again and starts for the door. "Maybe they have someone here to see about other magical gear." He is quickly outside of the door and gone from the rest of the group.
You get the idea that he has a hard time being with a group or people in general. He often seems so cold and distant and then cheerful the next, or is it an act.

Hart stops his playing and goes to his pack. He is soon counting gold, 130gp. Then he produces the statuette. He seems to be pondering his funds, that are quite low and meager in comparison to the others. "How might one go aboot earning more gold?" He leans on his staff.
Spirit dances, simply dances.
Loran lets out a low 'chortle sound' as he sleeps.
Sir Henri Friday December 24th, 2004 5:16:27 AM
The paladin look into the big priest eyes, asking "Are we going to play or just hold hands?"
Justin Webber (DM) Shows d20+8=21 d20+10=22 Friday December 24th, 2004 5:58:26 PM
The big priest grunts and grasps Henri's hand ,squeezing it hard and begins trying to push Henri's hand down, (oppsing strength:21) The priest looks like he is doing good for a moment but then Henri slams the priests hand on the table. The large priest sighs and looks at Henri, "You win little man. Guess even a willow has stregnth somedays." The large priest slaps Henri's shoulder though and breaks into a grin, "Bring me and my friend a drink." The man looks to Henri, "You have to have a drink with me or you that little of a man not to have one drink?"
The lady priest who was trying to talk to Hart for a moment her mouth looks to fall open as she didn't expect Hart to act so mean. After a few moments she huffs and glares daggers at the satyr.
As Hart walks away a couple priests point and whisper to each other, "He offended Lady Miriam High Priest Bale's daughter....this isn't going to be good."
After Hart gets only alittle distance away the girl strides up behind Hart and slaps him on the shoulder or tries. (touch attack:22) She glares at Hart more and speaks clearly now and not to shyly suddenly, "Now listen here you horned goat boy! I was just trying to be polite and try to talk to you. Maybe you do take after goats and are as stupid brained as one, should I get some grass for you to chew on goat boy?" The priest lady glares at Hart yet and spits out really quick another angered comment, "hmmph! all this time I thought and read your people were nice and repectful of ladies. So much for that being true I guess or finding out anything."
Other then this everyone is still kind of doing their own thing. Mykell has finished his dance and show and a couple priests (inless Namfoodle jumps in) were able to perform a nice song of Mykell's homeland to go with Mykell's breathtaking performance.
(OOC:There is nothing in the current treasure that Mykell wants so he will just take part of the gold that is gotten after selling the remaining stuff.)
Fern finds out after consulting a map that the teacher of her pet lives a good distance away yet. (Consulting my info on your bird about this so I can find out when you can ride the thing and it will be fully trained. I thought it was sometime like when your character gains 7th or 8th level.)

Looking annoyed at the girl, Hart stops and says simply. "Theen I shood guess that you won't be believing everyt'ing you read een the future. I also suggest that you not 'think' so much either." He smirks and returns to cleaning his gear.
Spirit wonders over to the girl and tugs on her tunic. It looks up at her and waves.
Loran remains asleep, though, he peeps one eye open when Hart is slapped by the girl.
Sir Henri Saturday December 25th, 2004 7:07:56 AM
The paladin smiles at the priest, "You had me worried there for a few seconds, I really though I was in trouble and you was about to best me. As For a drink? I don't drink the hard stuff, I must keep my mind clean. I must be on the watch and ready to fight evil at all the times. But once in a while I can take one glass of sacramentle wine. I'm sorry if you disaprove, But that is all I will alow myself."
Henri's eyes are cast down as he tell the Prist hoping not to offend him.
Justin Webber (DM) Suprise Visit Saturday December 25th, 2004 1:59:21 PM
Before anything else can go on or react to current things said something is heard coming from the fireplace in the room. Shortly something comes shooting down it and lands hard on the floor, the fire not seeming to bother the man any as he steps out, clean of any soot.
The man is kind of tall but large around the middle. He looks to be human actually and he wears a red suit and his beard is pure white. He looks around as he moves a bag infront of him and begins digging through it.
As the man searches in his bag a priest runs in and calls at the man, "You parked your horses and sled outside on the lawn. You couldo f used the front door!"
The large man in the red suit only laughs, "Tradition must be followed dear boy. Now everyone stay where you are." The man finally finds what he is looking for and slowly goes around handing out presents to each person in the place. The group all get one large present laid infront of them and the man winks to all as he walks to the fireplace and begins to step inside, "Merry Gift Giving Day to all." As the man vanishes up the chimmney the hall suddenly sprouts colorful decorations and candycanes hang here and there. Tyal even finds himself suddenly teleported back into the feat hall and sitting infront of him is his gift.
Hart will find that he has a gift for not only him but spirit and his owl. Everyone who has a animal companion also has a gift for his/her animal companion.
Outside you can hear a jolly laugh and a crack of a whip before the yalling of, "On Whitefoot, On Star, On Sprinter and Spice," Cutting the nice rythem of the saying though is one last addition, "Lead the way Jazzele."
Aelanthir and Kuari Saturday December 25th, 2004 5:03:57 PM
Aelanthir moves his hands quicklyt to his swords when the man in red comes out of the fireplace. When no hostile actions are taken Aelanthir relaxes and removes his hands from his swords. Aelanthir calls Kuari over and then examines what was left for himself and Kuari.
Kashmari Saturday December 25th, 2004 5:33:05 PM
Kashmari smiles widely and applaudes Mykell's dance performance. It is simply some of the best choreography that she has maybe ever seen.
When Mykell is finished she beckons him over and gives him a glass of wine. She motions to the empty chair next to herself so he can sit down if he likes.
"That was beautiful Mykell. You should grace us with your talent more often."
Kashmari continues to smile and was about to ask about Mykell's culture when she suddenly tilts her head slightly to one side and looks both surprised and amused. Then the odd man that came out of the chimney starts walking around dealing out gifts.
Kashmari looks back to Mykell and blushes.
"Aelanthir and I don't really practice the custom of gift giving. I have nothing to give anyone."
Evidently she feels guilty and it shows somewhat. Kashmari gives Mykell a look of apology. In the back of her mind she considers what she could find to give the others - but especially Mykell, Henri, Namfoodle and Aelanthir. She resolves to make a trip to the local market first chance she gets.
Kashmari recieves her gift from the red-robed man and thanks him. She leaves the gift on her lap like her new cloak. She isn't certain whether to open it now or later. So she will wait and see what the locals do.
"Mykell, if there is anything you would li..." Kashmari begins; with a smile, before rethinking the formulation of the question, "rather is there anything useful I could give you in honor of the local tradtions?"

Hart views the gift with some scepticism and taps it with his staff. Oddly, Hart has alot of fun watching the mating ritual of Mykell and Kashmari. 'Apparently, the ruses and tokens have to be of value. Material wealth again.' He thinks to himself.
Spirit bites the gifts.
Loran remains asleep.
Sir Henri Sunday December 26th, 2004 6:26:19 AM
The paladin just sit there, in real suprise! He has never seen such as the sight before him??
Henri thinks as to what the priest as just said that this man had come down the chiminy?? But park his horses out in Front?? Then HE goes back up the chiminy after he has given each person in the room a gift?? How Strange??
Henri quickly goes to the window, just in time to see the man in the red suit, taking off very quickly. "No wonder the horses run so fast, the lead horse is a female!!" said the Paladin!
Eiras Sunday December 26th, 2004 5:52:17 PM
Eiras is sincerly puzzled by the antics of the strange red man. He stands there with the present in his hand, with an eyebrow raised.
"Humans are very bizarre, I still understand very little of them," he says.
He opens the package to see the insides.
Mykell Zweihand Sunday December 26th, 2004 6:50:45 PM
Mykell smiles at the compliment given him by Kashmari but watches the suprise visit from the stranger before answering. He leaves the present laying infront of him and turns his attention back to Kashmari as he speaks to her, "Ahh, present day is just a special time of the year where people exchange or give presents to people they know or like." Mykell winks and smiles, "I have presents for the others also, they should be arriving soon."
Mykell pulls a small tanto from behind his back that rest just under the blue cloak he wears and slices the bindings on the present, he leaves it closed otherwise though as he turns his attention back to Kashmari, "hmmm, something I might like from you." Mykell breaks into a grin suddenly and winks, "I know, how about a date. An maybe even a nice dance after we see what the man left us?"
(OOC:I set up with the DM (me) to have presents delivered to the group from Mykell. If others would like to buy gifts for the group then please just tell me what you would like to get, post it privately here or email me.)
Kashmari Sunday December 26th, 2004 7:56:34 PM
Kashmari smiles teasingly. "I did say anything didn't I?"
She ponders her answer as she looks down at the gift on her lap and then up at Mykell again. It takes her quite awhile before she answers.
"You think there will be any time for such things? It seems to me that the Powers are in a hurry, and would prefer that we had their crisises solved yesterday."
Kashmari smiles charmingly and laughs a little bit.
"I will grant you your request if we are given the time. I haven't been on a "date" in years..."
Kashmari waits to see what Mykell's reaction will be, since she agreed to honor his request. makes a mental note to go to market the first chance she gets so that she can find something useful for everyone in the party.
Tyal Sunday December 26th, 2004 8:57:12 PM
Tyal looks around at his surroundings and then to the rest of the party. "What the...." The rest of his statement is left hanging as he notices the present laying on the table in front of him. "Ohhh...that would explain it." He looks a little embarrassed as he thinks of what he was about to say in a monastery and in front of ladies to boot.
With a total look of embarrassment he turns to each lady in turn. "Please excuse me for my rude language...it is unseemly." For some it is a surprise that this battle priest would also have a polite side. With a look to each of the people that is gathered he shakes his head one last time as he plops down on the bench. "Bother...forgot about Giving Day." He makes a mental note to go and figure out something useful to all those that are present.
Been talking over some ideas with the DM. :)

Marek Isentomb Monday December 27th, 2004 4:12:42 PM
The old soldier does not miss a beat as he sits with a newly aquired gift and unwraps it. A mighty "Welcome" tears from his mouth at the departing giver.
Looking to the others, "Hard to beleive another year has already caught us. Tonight be merry and at ease. Tomorrow brings challenges and excitement that which will make woman swoon, men envious and children desire to be like us. Let us feast and drink!"
Marek sets the gift down next to the chain and begins to disarm. Long sword, short sword, mace, axe, chain, dagger the parrade of weapons the man has seems endless, log bow, arrows, a second dagger, hammer and still another long sword....
Justin Webber (DM) Opening of Presents and Deliverys Monday December 27th, 2004 7:16:10 PM
As each person open their packages they find within a few items of interest.
Tyal finds 4 cure moderate wounds potions and a pure silver amulet with a slot to insert both his pearls of power and a ion stone inserted in it (note that says ion stone increases Wis+1).
Hart opens his to find 4 CMW potions also and a pure silver amulet also that he can place his pearl of power and also has a ion stone (note saying the ion stone is a Wis+1).
Eiras finds 4 CMW potions also and a pure silver amulet that contains a ion stone in it (there is a note saying the ion stone boosts Dex+1)
Marek finds 4 CMW potions and a pure silver amulet that has a ion stone inserted in it (there is a note saying the ion stone is a Str+1)
Aelanthir finds 4 CMW potions and a pure silver amulet with a ion stone set in it (there is a note saying the ion stone is a Int+1)
Kashmari finds 4 CMW potions and a pure silver amulet with a place to insert her psionic gem and a ion stone inserted in it (Increases Int+1).
Fern finds 4 CMW potions and a pure silver amulet with a ion stone set in it (note saying the ion stone is a Str+1)
Henri finds 4 CMW potions and a pure silver amulet with a ion stone set in it (note saying the ion stone is a Str+1)
Mykell finds 4 CMW potions and a pure silver amulet with a ion stone set in it (note saying the ion stone is a Str+1)
The other priests open their gifts to find various potions, wands and other useful things to themselves.
Also as the people settle down a man comes in packing a large bag and nods to Mykell before moving around to pass out a gift to everyone in the room and even one to Kashmari.
Another man also comes in packing a bag who passes a package out to each person in the room. These gifts have a single fancy letter on it "T".
(OOC:Mykell and Tyal will be saying what they got everyone in their posts.)
The priest who was talking to Henri slaps the man on the back suddenly and has a huge grin as he waves his new wand around, "I love gift day and that man is some guy. I always wondered who he was. Most just call him "the Gift Man"."
The lady priest who was getting onto Hart is now staring at a wand before going back to glareing at Hart, "you.....you...you....errr" The lady humphs and pulls out a pair of panpipes and sits down in a chair almost in tears, "He's soo mean." The girl begins playing a light tune on the panpipes, mainly to herself. Hart and anyone else who remembers the tune played by the elf you met a long time ago in the forest and who had the legendary harp knows the song she plays as the same that elf played....maybe some connection here...(I believe the elf's name was Melic if that helps people.)
Sir Henri Monday December 27th, 2004 9:16:47 PM
Henri Who has open his box, he takes out the four Cure Moderate Wounds "This Gift Man, sure knows what a paladin needs." Henri also shows an silver Amulet with a Ion stone, The shape is almost like his holy simble.
Henri slowly come to realise that someone is playing some music, A tune he remembers But cannot quite put his memories together?? Then it hits him, He whispers "The unknown Elf in the woods, played that same tune. I think his name was Metric, No! that's was not it, Melic and his harp." The paladin will wear the Amulet and sit back to listen to that song once more.
Marek Isentomb Tuesday December 28th, 2004 10:23:26 AM
A quick reading of the 4 vials and Marek sets them into his belt pouch, before extracting the stone from the wrapping. The rough man nods and smiles. Lifting the stone to his head he gently lets it go and it begins a slow regular orbit. "Praise to Big Dave!" he lets out a shout.
The melody catches his ear, but Marek has no thought for the matter and quickly puts it out of his mind. Marek hoists a large flagon and glances about the room for nothing in paticular, but everything peculiar.
He pushes those thoughts aside soon as well. it is perfectly safe here, there is no need for suspision. enjoy it while you can

Hart takes his gift and looks at the man, ignoring the girl priest. "Do I owe you gold? Shiney tip perhaps?" He raises an eyebrow, looking at the amulet. "Why do you give sooch items willingly? Do you wish payment?"
Hearing the tune, Hart does turn his attention to the girl, listening carefully. 'Could this annoying human be a Herald too?' He wonders.
Spirit dances around.
Loran sleeps.
(OOC: Justin, expect an email from me soon.)
Mykell Zweihand Tuesday December 28th, 2004 8:18:48 PM
Mykell smiles as the gifts he has payed to have delivered finally arrive. The grin comes and goes just as quick as he forces himself to hide it and he watches Kashmari mainly now as he listens to the song and waits to see what she thinks of the second gift now.
(Present listed below) Hart finds a pure silver figure of a satyr playing a flute as a owl sits on his shoulder.
Tyal finds a pure silver figure of his goddess.
Henri finds a solid silver figure of his god.
Eiras finds a solid silver figure of a caped figure with a rapier held in his left hand.
Aelanthir finds a solid silver figure of a wizard who looks to be casting a spell.
Kashmari finds a solid silver figure of a lady riding a unicorn.
Fern finds a solid silver figure of a lady riding a giant eagle.
Marek finds a solid silver figure of a valiant looking knight.
Kashmari Tuesday December 28th, 2004 9:00:48 PM
Kashmari carefully opens the gift from Mykell. She turns it in her hands slowly, appraising the subtle forms and engravings of the figurine. She seems quite engrossed in studying the figurine.
The psion looks up at Mykell and smiles gently.
"Thank you."
Kashmari places the statuette on the table. She holds her other gift and the cloak on to her lap. She leans forward and gives Mykell a quick hug as she says thank you(Basically placing one hand on his shoulder and pressing her cheek to his.)She sits back in her chair.
Finally she gets round to opening the gift from the jolly visitor. She manages to place the vials of potion on the the table and takes out the amulet. She holds it in her hand and fishes the recepticle stone from her pouch. Kashmari places it in the empty mounting on the amulet. She gracefully places the amulet around her neck.
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
Later during the day she will go to market and try and find a suitable gift for everyone.
Eiras Wednesday December 29th, 2004 1:21:05 AM
Eiras says, "Thank you Mykell. You did not need to do this. I have done nothing of the sort for the rest of you... That is not my way."
He falls silent as he leans back, holding the small figure in his hand.
Sir Henri Wednesday December 29th, 2004 6:58:39 AM
The paladin will wear the Amulet, the thanks the giver, then listen to the music,
Marek Isentomb Wednesday December 29th, 2004 11:11:15 AM
Marek looks over the statuette, Nice, quite nice. If I keep collecting such things I may have to buy a house to hold them he chuckles slightly to himself as he places the piece in his bely pouch with the golden statue
He gives a salute with his mug, "Many Thanks"
Marek sits back down and has another large drink and picks at any foods nearby. Socializing is not his strong suit, his mind seems ever preoccupied with the next adrenaline rush of adventure. So he watches others, who dance flirt and sing, maybe when he older such things will interst him.

Justin Webber (DM) Buzz of Market Thursday December 30th, 2004 11:30:19 AM
As everyone enjoys the music that the young priest lady plays suddenly a man comes rushing in and the buzz of a caravan coming in circulates around the room. Evidently this is a rare occassion at the temple and it seems the caravan is a trade caravan that buys, sells and trades good.
(OOC:Shopping time everyone! Like to get buying, selling, etc done before we move on to much more. This also gives those who want to buy gift day presents for people a chance to do that, etc. Have fun and sorry for not posting yesterday, I took a personal day off yesterday.)
Outside in the courtyard area 3 large wagons have came in and men rush around and quickly small tents or extentions of the wagons are set up and trade goods are laid out to be seen. It looks like this caravan trades and sells almost everything you can thing of. Many of the priest mill about and are looking over various items.
Tyal Thursday December 30th, 2004 12:56:02 PM
Tyal unwraps both of his newly aquired presents and shakes his head in wonder at them. Both of them are extremely nice gifts but the silver statue is special to him somehow. He turns slightly to regard the man known as Mykell and cuts him a deep bow of the head in respect. "Many thanks for this my new friend." He lays the statue on the table and stares at it as he takes out the amulet and slips it around his neck. With another quick movement he slips the potions into a pouch at his waist and sighs. Another year has went by and still his quest remains undone.
He looks up as the presents with the fancy T are delivered and tries to keep his eyes on all the group. Though his face reflects no emotion he does feel some pride inside that he was able to get something personal for all of them. He silently hopes that Marek and Hart are not offended or upset with just potions, but he could not think of anything better to give them and healing items are always a boon....even low level ones.
------------------------------------- FANXY LETTER "T" PRESENTS
Sir Henry: scabbard - black leather tooled with the pattern of the sun god on it, chips of ruby and emeralds run the length.
Hart: 3 CLW potions.
Mykell: tea set - done in a nice ivy leaf pattern with enough cups for eight people, includes pot; whisk; cups; warmer to set pot on; 20 bags of an oriental tea.
Kashmari: dress, shawl, shoes and undergarments - all done in a powder blue with silvery gray lace, tailored to fit her perfectly, dress is off the shoulder.
Marek: 3 CLW potions.
Alenthir: dragon tarot deck - a brown leather pouch with the head of each dragon color on it, the deck is of bone with the dragons composing the tarot cards, for divination and fun.
Fern: dress, shawl, shoes and undergarments - all done in a light green with reddish trim lace, tailored to fit her perfectly, dress covers the shoulders.
Erias: 10 darkness arrows - makes an area of darkness per the spell upon impact or when it reaches the arrows limit, cast by a 6th level wizard.
Marek Isentomb Thursday December 30th, 2004 2:15:27 PM
Marek turns to look at the market assembling outside and yet another gift shows up. Unwrapping it a chuckle comes from the veteran, "More curing, Looks as if I'm being told I don't dodge well." Marek gives another chuckle and then hoists his flaggon towards Tyal. "A splendid gift for a soldier my friend, I shall do my best to not drink them too soon."
With the market fully assembled outside, Marek scoops the chain mail and long sword and goes out. Moving about the carts he looks for the weaponsmith and armoror where he will atempt to sell his Breastplate +2 (4550gp), his Short sword +1 (2310gp) and the Long sword +2 Merciful (18,315gp). Marek wil not take less than half of the value.
He will also look to sell the ion stone of Str, since his gauntlets are more powerful ehancments. (4000gp)
I'm guessing Marek will have at least 15,000gp from the items above
With the money he will be looking to Purchase a Cloak of Resistance +3 (9000gp) and use his Cloak +1 for part of that. (spend 8000gp) Then Purchase a Ring of Protection +2 (8000gp) using his Ring Protection +1 (2000gp) for part and spend another (6000gp)
Total spent 14,000gp.
Marek Will also shop the Potion dealer looking for Resist Energy, Remove disease and remove curse potions.
Kashmari Thursday December 30th, 2004 4:22:56 PM
Kashmari has been busy these last few days...
She gets some help from one or more of the temple acolytes to deliver the gifts to the others from herself. The gifts are wrapped in fancy paper as local custom requires.
Kashmari hopes that the others will be at least pleased with their gifts, she didn't find shopping for them to be an easy task! She will hide any nervous or anticipatory reactions from the others; yes even pride and relief if everyone actually likes what they get.
A little later Kashmari will head off to her room and change into the clothing that Tyal gave her for 'gift giving' day. She also has the fan she got from Mykell earlier with her in her belt pouch. The other gifts will be stored in her locked room. She will have her hair styled into a nice coiffure.
***********************************************
When everyone unwraps their gifts they will find this:
Aelanthir - MW Lockpicks (expanded version) (wires, rods, angled wrenches, funnel, magnifying glass, hammer, oils, acids, chisels, listening cone) (gives 20% bonus (+2, without being MW, gives +4 since they are MW) to Open Locks, listening cone gives +10% (+1) to Listen checks).
Hart - 25 large lotus blossoms - a nicely tooled pouch to keep the blossoms in, the decorations are stylized lotus flowers.
Marek - Armour cleaning kit in storage bag (with straps and buckles to close it), (contains 9oz jar of cleaner, 9oz jar of polish/rust inhibitor, 1 stiff cleaning brush, 1 soft polishing brush, kit weighs 1.5 lbs, - Folding Hunting knife with two blades (treat as a regular knife listed in the PHB 3.5) (Yes, this is just like the pen knives we are familiar with RL)
Fern - Field glass (a leather tube that can be unbuckled and stored flat, it has two removable lenses made of ground glass; it has a lanyard sewn onto it so it cant be lost -- the field glass doubles the range and detail-level of normal vision. It is almost the same as what Morgan Freeman's character used in the movie "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves".)
Eiras - A neutral grey cloak cleverly designed so the wearer can easily blend into shadows, it is of gnomish make. This is a non-magical cloak. (+5 bonus to hide checks, cannot be detected magically). - Folding Hunting knife with two blades (treat as a regular knife listed in the PHB 3.5) (Yes, this is just like the pen knives we are familiar with RL)
Tyal - Gold holy symbol of Inana with durable gold chain (already blessed by the proper Temple, 8oz gold). - Armour cleaning kit in storage bag (with straps and buckles to close it), (contains 9oz jar of cleaner, 9oz jar of polish/rust inhibitor, 1 stiff cleaning brush, 1 soft polishing brush, kit weighs 1.5 lbs)
Henri (paladin) - Armour cleaning kit in storage bag (with straps and buckles to close it), (contains 9oz jar of cleaner, 9oz jar of polish/rust inhibitor, 1 stiff cleaning brush, 1 soft polishing brush, kit weighs 1.5 lbs), - Gold Holy symbol of Pelor with durable gold chain (already blessed by the proper Temple, 8oz gold)
Mykell - A finely carved sandalwood box, inside it is a gnomish invention with gears and such in it, there is a removable winding key on the outside. Opened or closed the box can be wound up and it will play 3 different pieces of music via tiny metal tines when the cylinder underneath them turns and different bumps on the cylinder touch the tines. One melody is local, one is from Kashmari's home area, one sounds sort of like the music Mykell had the bards play. The cylinder, gears and tines are shielded under a perfect plate of crystal. The mechanical instrument is perfectly tuned and even a person with perfect sense of pitch (tone, melody?) can enjoy the music this box can make.
Namfoodle - empty journal book (see spellbook stats, 100pgs parchment, leatherbound book, pg 130 PHB 3.5), - ink pen (pg 128 PHB 3.5) and - ink (1oz. vial, pg. 128 PHB 3.5) to record our travels or write music in; if he wants.
Kashmari (addendum) Thursday December 30th, 2004 4:49:38 PM
Kashmari will of course thank Tyal for the gift and give him a quick hug like she gave Mykell. Kashmari will not be rude, it is appropriate to give thanks for gifts. :)
Aelanthir Thursday December 30th, 2004 7:44:37 PM
Aelanthir thanks Mykell for the gift. Aelanthir then thanks Tyal for the tarot deck. Aelanthir thanks Kashmari for the gift.
Aelanthir heads off and goes to purchase some items. When Aelanthir comes back and hands out packages to each person.

Mykell Zweihand Thursday December 30th, 2004 7:47:33 PM
Mykell smiles and does his best to hang around Kashmari the next day or so that is free. smiling and enjoying himself as he gets free time with her.
While outside in the caravan area where the shops are set up he moves along with her and looks over things as he spends time wondering what he should do. At one point he grins thinking of something, "You know, I heard from one of the priests the at the towers here you can see a beautiful sunset. Maybe we should try cetching one tonight."
Hart, Spirit and Loran Thursday December 30th, 2004 8:13:30 PM
Active Spells: Wood Wose (cast in the morning, lasts 8 hours) Goodberries (6)- Lasts 4 days.

The satyr seems very confused at the gift giving. He thanks the givers with a simple nod.
He takes the opportunity to go to the market and trade or barter. The druid is rather confused with the amount of gold that the other party members actually have on hand.
Spirit rides in the hood.
Loran flies off to hunt after exiting the building.
Quick Comments (DM) Friday December 31st, 2004 11:18:19 AM
Ammendment to Mykell's post: Mykell when given his present from Kashmari will for the first time quickly hug her and gives her a quick kiss on the cheek.
(OOC:now on the gifts. I have decided that as long as each person doesn't go over or close to the 1,000gps mark per present then the presents given are free of charge. Also everyone and I'm sorry for not bringing this up before would know that the gift giving was for gift day (Christmas) Hart being possibly the only exception.)

Hart looks around the market. (What is of interest there?)
Sir Henri Saturday January 1st, 2005 8:24:02 AM
Sir Henri walk around the shops and stops at the magic shop, asking the dealer "do you have any healing wands?"
Kashmari Saturday January 1st, 2005 1:41:06 PM
Kashmari admires the travelling gear she now has gotten. She gives her brother a very big hug and thanks him. Next adventure they go on she can look stylish. She is pleased to be given the honor of wearing her family heraldry as well; especially since she has never really done so before.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kashmari will spend her mornings actually training. She will gladly spar with anyone who would like to join her morning training session. Naturally her martial skills seem almost nil in comparison to any of the warriors in the party!
(Here is the chance for Mykell and Henri to get a laugh. I know a dagger against a sword is quite the challenge; she will not use any psionics during sparring, just a dagger and unarmed strikes.)
иииииииииииииииииииииииииииииииииииииииииииииии
Kashmari doesn't mind Mykell's company over the next few days. In fact she does enjoy the (extra?) attention. She enjoys the marked with its 'bustling' life.
When Mykell mentions catching a sunset one night she chuckles, and with a demure smile she answers.
"I haven't had the time to enjoy a sunset since all this began. Perhaps we could make the time?"
Kashmari has nothing that she would really like to sell, and doesn't necessarily find anything she wants to purchase.
Tyal Saturday January 1st, 2005 6:24:33 PM
Tyal turns a deep shade of red as Kashmari gives him a hug as thanks. He looks to her brother and returns it quickly with some embarrassment. "You are welcome m'lady." He could not think of anything else to say and then said the first thing that came to mind.
As he opens the present from Kashmari he shakes his head in wonder at the elegance of both. Looking to Kashmari he nods his head as a tear comes to his eye. "Thank you very much." He slips the chain with holy symbol around his neck and then under his armor. With the presenting of another present he opens it slowly and tears up some more. "This will come in most handy when we run into the unpure." He holds up the aspergill with the rose emblazened on it.
He takes his leave to slip out to the caravan and look around before he really embarrasses himself.
[Inana's symbol is a rose or a star for those that are interested.]

Justin Webber (DM) Following Days Monday January 3rd, 2005 7:16:01 PM
(OOC:People who are looking for things at the market should post what their looking for. Everything will be priced directly from the book though, just a FYI.)
Everyone goes about their own buisness, looking around the shopping area and the daily activites of the priests go by also. As the day slowly trickles along a few things of interest happen.
Mainly around high noon a strange man comes striding through the gates. The man is wearing pitch black platemail and at his waist hangs a well used bastard sword. The man's t faced helm hides his face but a wear eyes would normally be made out can be seen two pinpoints of red. The man's left hand which looks like a demon's hand rests on the handle of the sword and one of the talon like finger nails taps on the handle lightly as he walks along. Trailing behind the man though are three skeleton's who wear red platemail and have a longsword at their waist. (Local Knowledge DC:16 to remember rumors of Drake and his Crimson Guards being in the area. Also you will know that Drake is a fighter of great skill and knowledge in the wizard arts. You also know that Drak is not really a bad guy but not really a good guy either, he walks the middle moreless.)
Later just before mid day another two quest show up at the temple. One wears a copper colored robe and even his elven skin is slightly copper colored. He holds a staff which he leans on when he enters the feast hall. (Local Knowledge DC 16: will tell you that this man is known as Gilan Moonstar, a dragon wizard of great power. The man usually stays out of most things, enjoying his chess and such games but now and then he showsup in times of need.)
The last person is a man wearing a flaming red chainmail and a great two handed hammer hangs on his back. The mans hair is also red and a light red tinge can be seen on all the skin exposed. (Local Knowledge DC 16: You will know this man to be Baron the Red. He is a dragon cleric who has obtained quite abit of power and influence.)
During supper and with Drake, Gilan and Baron present the goddess shows up along with Hindro who smiles faintly when he walks in. The goddess looks over everyone abit before sighing and walking over to the group and looking to you all, "I have dire news for all here but first I must ask those who haven't said they would join the herald's, will you join us now?"
Once the goddess has her answer she steps forward and lightly touches each person's arm. A sudden zap can be felt come from the lady's touch and you can feel the power of creation, death, life, everything flow through your body and imparting the knowledge for your first beginning special ability. (Official giving of the beginning abilities.)
Now the goddess walks to the middle of the room as High Priest Bale enters the room and speaks clearly upset, "What is the meaning of Drake and Baron being here? We do not mind Gilan."
The goddess shakes her head and looks to High Priest Bale, "I summoned them here, shortly you will be needing everyone here and my Herald's except Hindro are busy. I can not take part in this either beyond the info I'm about to give."
Hindro steps forward and clears his throat, "Allow me m'lady. A large group of soliders lead by all the Seekers of Darkness are on there way here. A battle will start that you stand no chance winning without these men's help. Except it or not you will be needing their help come tomorrow afternoon. You will see the start come morning."
Drake grins and slams a fist on the table he sits at, his demon looking hand glowing, "YES! WAR!...let them come...I already agreed to hold my end of the battle. The ground troops will be covered by me."
Baron grins and bows low, "Aye, Drake can handle the ground troops and I will handle siege equipment. Me and the Southern Flames will succeed."
Gilan shakes his head and chuckles as he moves a few cups around on his table in a odvious game of some type, "Yes yes, while the two boys play I will handle the hard work."
The goddess nods and grins as she looks to the group, "An you will need to handle the covering of the front gate. Their are not enough priests here to handle a attack if the enemy gets into the fort. Can we count on you with this? An either way leaving is not a option with that army moving so close already."
Hart, Spirit and Loran Monday January 3rd, 2005 9:07:38 PM

Hart looks around the market. He eats a goodberry and drinks cheap ale from his everfull chalice. Pan pipes hang and swing from his neck. The satyr looks for anything that only a druid could love. He looks for rare herbs, spices and pieces of unusual woods. The druid looks for special scimitars, wood weapons and other types of natural material made weapons (such as bone, scale, tooth, spines, etc). He also looks for wind instruments he's never seen before.
Spirit rides in the hood.
Loran sleeps atop the staff.
Eiras Tuesday January 4th, 2005 12:43:40 AM
Eiras will look to see if he can find any magic arrows in the market. The price will determine how many.
Sir Henri Tuesday January 4th, 2005 5:05:55 AM
The Paladin wait to see how much the wand of healing are and how much the potions are.
Hart, Spirit and Loran Tuesday January 4th, 2005 6:52:05 AM
The trio mingles about, looking, wondering and marveling at the strange goods.
Spirit especially enjoys all the sparklies and shinies about the place.
Loran, however, could care less. He remains asleep.
Kashmari d20=18 d20=16 d20=2 Tuesday January 4th, 2005 7:25:07 AM
Kashmari has watched the three mercenaries (?) arrive. She strongly disapproves of Drake's 'travelling companions'. The psion has certainly heard of the first two gentlemen but the third one to arrive she doesn't recall who he is. She wonders why they have bothered to come, but the info at the meeting will certainly clear that up.
It seems that the group is having a 'working dinner'. Kashmari is not surprised when the goddess arrives again; she is surprised to see Hindro arrive though. Kashmari somehow was not expecting to see the Elven psion again so soon.
Kashmari stands after the goddess askes who hasn't agreed to join the Heralds. Notably she is dressed more like a lady of some court rather than in her travelling garb. Kashmari probably looks out of place among all of the armorclad priests and mercenaries. She answers the goddess directly, speaking just loud enough to be heard above the din.
"I believe it is only I who have not already agreed to join. Truthfully, I cannot say that I am completely convinced that becoming one of your Heralds is what I would prefer to do. However I have thrown my lot in with my comrades; and they have agreed to join your Heralds, therefore I will consent to your offer," Kashmari tells the goddess plainly.
Kashmari will remain standing as the goddess most likely considers what she has just said. She glances over at Hindro; halfway expecting him to disapprove of her reply. The psion figures that the goddess should be satisfied that she at least agreed to join; even if it wasn't for the sake of ideals or devotion to a higher being.
Once the goddess has bestowed her 'blessing' (as Kashmari sees her 'gift giving') she will sit down. Then all of the macho talk about going to war starts among the three gentlemen. Kashmari finds herself disapproving of them even more.
With a suppressed sigh, and some willpower, she opts to tolerate them for as long as she can. She keeps her facial expression completely neutral. She will not reveal her dislike to any of the three visitors, though hiding her extreme dislike of the undead will be difficult at best for her.
"I don't suppose there is a local militia to be mobilized in this area? Then again it is too late for that since scouts never even reported the arrival of a large army..." Kashmari adds matter-of-factly (with a possible hint of scorn when the lack of scouts is mentioned); addressing High Priest Bale rather than anyone else.
Marek Isentomb Tuesday January 4th, 2005 10:35:46 AM
Marek sells his Amulet Ion Stone, the Breastplate +2, his Short sword +1 and the Long sword +2 Merciful
With the money he purchases a Cloak of Resistance +3, a Ring of Protection +2 and a potion of cure blidness.
Marek will track down Aelanthir and Kashmari and thank them for the gifts and will then head for the sparring area of the temple.
Mostly he will pratice his deadly art against dummies. The 15' chain whips about him in a blur, as he spins and weaves his way through the makeshift obstacle course. If any wish to grapple or prcatice with padded weapons, Marek will happily oblige and through the sparring will offer advise and tips to his opponent.
With the arrival of the three, Marek pays little attention, not knowing any of them and since no one else seems to be concerned, he decides not to be.
Dinner comes with the goddess again and her touch bestows the Diamond ability to the soldier kneeling before her. "M'lady is most kind."
As talk turns to an approaching army, Marek leans in and while impressed with the men as individuals, Marek has quickly decided that it apparently does not extend to tactical stratedgy. "Pardon for asking m'lords, but I have a few questions. How are you going to 'handle' the siege engines, ground troops and whatever else while my men protect the gate proper? We shall need to know the overall battle plan in order to be most effective. Who is in charge in each area and who will be in overall command of defences? Where can my men appropriate material for the gate? How large of an army and consisting of what troops? Can we expect a siege on will they simply fling themselves at us in human wave assaults?"
Feeling he has vollied enough questions Marek waits for some answers.
Aelanthir d20+4=17 d20+4=19 d20+4=16 Tuesday January 4th, 2005 6:21:31 PM
Aelanthir spends the time readying himself for what ever he might come across in the future with the group. At the dinner Aelanthir will look closely at the three strange Heralds (checks of 17, 19, & 16.) When the goddess bestows her blessing (spell spirit) upon him Aelanthir thanks her.
Aelanthir then asks the goddess "What kind of support will we be having? What kind of opposition will we be facing, both mundane and non-mundane (magical/psionic)?"
Mykell Zweihand Tuesday January 4th, 2005 7:39:55 PM
Mykell looks around as the new people come into the area and he looks to Kashmari as he is spending time with her and frowns abit in wonder.
In the feast hall Mykell sits with Kashmari and before the goddess and everyone shows up he spends time talking with her and smiles as he holds a grape up for her to take.
Just before the goddess and everyone comes in and starts talking about important matters Mykell leans close and whispers gently in Kashmari's ear, "You know, I really been enjoying our time together and believe I really like you Kashmari. How about after we get out of here we make our way to the tower to see the sunset together."
Mykell nods to the goddess when she gives the gift of aura strike to him. He listens to the others as he listens and then looks to Kashmari as he comments to her lowly, "Looks like alot of trouble coming our way. Hope we can handle this."
Mykell awaits the responses to the questions given to the people gathered here.
Justin Webber (DM) Comments Tuesday January 4th, 2005 7:51:33 PM
Bringing up a couple comments here before making my DM post after while.
1st: Anyone who is looking to buy or sell something can email Dom at kngtfall@rpg-r-us.com also just wanting to let you know that there is no markup or down on the price of a item but you only get 90% of a items full price when selling.
2nd: Namfoodle hasn't posted in a long time now so till he comes back or whatever he is officially out.
Tyal d20+6=14 d20+6=21 d20+6=23 Tuesday January 4th, 2005 9:37:45 PM
Tyal spends some time going around the set up shops and sees a few things of interest. He plans to hit the shops as soon as he gets down with the meeting that was called.
As he watches the newcomers enter the eating hall, he bends his mind to remember them. Though he is quick to pick up on the last two he is unsure of the first, though something does tickle his memory.
He looks to the goddess as she moves about the group and when she comes to him he stays seated for her. He does incline his head as she touches it. "Thank you for the gift." He looks to the others but does not give much away as he keeps his face stoic.
He lets the others speak of numbers and forces as the war is brought to the front. He knows his roll will be to heal and send souls to the next life. "Then again...maybe the scouts were caught...it happens even to the best." He sits back in the chair and goes over the gate layout in his mind.
Justin Webber (DM) Meeting Continued Tuesday January 4th, 2005 11:07:25 PM
Hart can find various items of different wood types in the market, ranging from little figures, some swords that look more like practice swords made of wood, etc in the market. one of a gnome drinking a large mug of ale and sitting on a stump seems to be one of the best figures.
Eiras finds that one shop sells some arrows of various designs and types, including magical ones.
(OOC:once again please email Dom with any sales or buying you wish to do. He is handling the sales and buying to make things abit easier and speedier in the game. All though transactions may take about a day a peice.)
In the feast hall comments are taken in stride that are bad and other wise High Priest Bale looks to the group and simply shrugs, "This fort is usually hidden but at the moment it is not shielded by our magic shield. We did not think a open attack would come. Any scouts we would of had keeping a eye out would of been here in warning inless something happened to them."
Gilan who stills moves glasses around on his table in his little game looks up as the question on how things will be handled comes up and suddenly in comes clear to everyone that Gilan is playing a game of chess with the glasses, "Well you see, Baron and the Southern Flames will probably burn and use brute force to take care of any siege equipment and Drake there has "alot" of help that can take the ground troops. The problem is that they both will be to busy to notice if any slip through and get to the fort, let alone we do not know how big this army is yet so no more plans can be really made. We also will not know what they throw against us till morning really either but we shall be prepared none the less, we must have faith in our comrades and I have fought beside Drake and Baron before and I have heard of you new guys also....quite abit of trouble you been giving the Seekers of Darkness."
The goddess nods and looks around, "Hindro has done his best to see how big the army is but is having little luck in finding out. Something very powerful is blocking his abilities. An I can not let my powers be known. If they know I'm here then they will deffinetly hit this place full force and we can not risk that."
Talks can go on about the on coming army but seeing as how the size of the army is not known you really can do nothing but wait till morning and see for yourselves. The main thing at the moment is you know you will protect the front gate.
Drake slides a talon like finger nail of his demon hand over the table he sits at and comments, "Any wood or such needed to reinforce the gate if needed could be surely gotten from the merchants that just came in."
(Gate info: The front gate is the only way in or out of the fort. The gate is made of heavy logs (think aboutthe size of a normal adult tree) and bound in iron. The gate would take alot of blows before falling inless hit by something of great force.)
The night passes slowly other wise and other then being severely nervous alot of the priests in the place go off to bed, seeming to drag their feet and look abit worried about tomorrow.
Morning however for some comes way to soon, specially since before the break of morning a very loud roar comes from outside. Anyone looking out the window of their room will see the man named Baron along with Drake standing outside in the large courtyard. In the courtyard also are 3 large red dragons which Baron strokes the cheek of one and speaks gently to it, "Soon Southern Flames we will be meeting our enemies. You lost many friends when you would not join the Seekers of Darkness, this is your chance lead by me to teach them their place or atleast bloody their noses."
One of the red dragons seems to laugh and speaks in common, "After we burn and destroy the siege equipment, do we go home or fight."
Baron smiles and looks to his allies, "We fight, we are the great Southern Flames and can not let Drake here shows us up."
Drake who had been standing back all this time chuckles, "Hmph, this is no game Baron. Our enemy is coming for blood. Of course that will matter so very little to my troops when I call upon them. We have been payed and we will deliver victory this day. I heard Gilan has stayed up all night preparing magics to help defend this fort also so I guess we will be on the battle field alone."

Seeing nobody around leaves.
Kashmari Wednesday January 5th, 2005 5:02:10 AM
Kashmari will go to one of the towers facing the direction the enemy will be coming from. She will keep her eyes fixed in that direction, but not be looking for anything particular. If any sign of the enemy presents itself she will tell Aelanthir about it before going to bed.
If Mykell decides to join her she will stay at the tower and watch the sunset (since the tower surely has windows in every direction watching the sunset should be only a matter of changing what direction you look at?). She will not talk about anything war related; except if she sees hide or hair of the enemy - then of course she will inform Mykell as well. Other than that she will maybe discuss the goddess, psionics, and anything else that might come up.
If Mykell foregoes joining her she will retire early for the night, though she only needs a few hours sleep. The next morning she will wake early and have all of her finery and equipment packed. She will be wearing her new travelling garb that her brother gave her. Kashmari has no need to prepare anything before battle, but she does meditate for an hour or so before breakfast.
Kashmari will not be thrilled to overhear the discussion between the Baron and Drake. Dragons aren't one of her most favorite creatures and undead rank very low on her list of potential allies. She resolves to have as little to do with those two Warlords as she can. *It is just as well that those two will be on the front lines.*
(Because Kashmari is certain that she will more than likely end up somewhere near melee she will choose 'Diamond Body' as her gift from the goddess.)
Fern Wednesday January 5th, 2005 6:20:33 AM
Fern loves her presents, you can tell by the look on her face. She goes to everyone and thanks them before going upstairs to put on her new dress and daggers.
When she comes down she looks different, VERY different. Where normally she wears brown pants and natural cream shirts, she is now wearing the green and red dress that Tyal bought. Where as she normally wears her bow, quiver, sword, dagger and mail shirt she is now just wearing the three daggers that Aelanthir bought her. Where she normally wears her hair braided and in a knot at her neck today it is down reaching to her waist and very curly. She smiles at the others and makes her way through the market to buy some presents and some stuff for herself.
At lunch she hands out the presents she bought everyone. "I hope you like these books"
Later that night at dinner she kneels with the others before the goddess and receives her new ability Diamond Body.

Mykell Zweihand d20+3=20 Wednesday January 5th, 2005 3:23:39 PM
Mykell smiles and joins Kashmari later as makes her way to the tower. He smiles and moves over by her, placing his cloak around her gently as it is abit cold in the tower at this time of night. Afterwards he just stands looking out the window while one arm slowly slips around Kashmari's shoulders, "Beautiful night even with so much danger coming."
Mykell looks to Kashmari and thinks a moment as he speaks, "Our help looks quite capable. My opinion only but atleast they seem capable which says some for them."
After staying up with Kashmari for awhile, hopefully till she goes to bed and will escourt her to her room. Once he is at her door he looks alittle nervous but quickly kisses Kashmari on the lips (charisma:20) and begins to back off afterwards to go to his room inless stopped.
In the morning Mykell is woke by the roar and goes to check on it out of curiousity. As he looks at Drake and Baron he frowns some and whispers to himself, "red dragons....evil creatures....I was willing to put up with undead as it's not uncommon for my lands but dragons are different."
Marek Isentomb d20=2 d20=15 Wednesday January 5th, 2005 4:47:08 PM
After Dinner, Marek will see what kind of authority he can drum up. He begins with an inspection of the gate area. Places to stand atop the wall for missile fire and if there are any good paces to get hot oil or such to pour down.
Next stop is to attempt to commandeer several wagons and secondary beams. [Cha check 2] The wagons he plans to overturn right behind the gate, the beams to be near by to reiinforce teh gate as it is broken down.
Whether or not he can get the wagons, Marek also heads to locate tar, oil and or pitch. If he has too, he'll spend money to get it but will attempt a 'I'm in charge of the gates defenses and am comandeering this equipment for that defense' approach. [Cha check 15] With as much as he can get his hands on, Marek will start saturating the ground outside of the gate, about 15' away and in as large of an area as he can.
This will surely take him fairly deep into the night, where upon he returns to his room for some sleep.
Morning will take Marek a moment to acknoledge like always, but soon he is battle dressed and heading for breakfast. After a fairly light meal and plenty of water to drink, he heads outside to report back to the gate. As he leaves, "Don't dauddle too long at the table and report to the gate when you're done."
Marek, of course, notices the dragon adn hears part of the conversation, but there is no reason to comment and whatever happens to them matters little. His assignment is the gate and that is where his body will be found.
Tyal Wednesday January 5th, 2005 6:25:41 PM
Tyal spends the better part of the night lost in his own thoughts as he ponders the turn of events. Though he is not sure about it he feels that Inana is testing him in some small way with this battle.
Up early in the morning he eats a light breakfast as he looks to the others as they show up. He frowns at Marek as he speaks but turns a deaf ear to it not really caring one way or the other.
When he reaches the outside of the small fortress and enters the courtyard he is startled to see reds in there. He makes it a purpose to give them a wide bearth as he travels to check on the gate. "Red dragons and undead...." He cannot help but wonder what other types of help they will end up with.
Hart, Spirit and Loran Wednesday January 5th, 2005 7:42:56 PM
Active Spells: Wood Wose (cast in the morning, lasts 8 hours) Goodberries (5/6)- Lasts 4 days.
Prepared Spells~ Orisons: Guidance, Detect Magic, Create Water, Light, Purify Food and Drink First Level: Regenerate Light Wounds, Speak with Animals Second Level: One with the Land, Creeping Cold, Brambles Rod: 1 charge used Pearl 1: Unused
(Hart nods in thanks at Fern's generousity, he simply nods at all the gifts given to him.)
The market trip takes Hart most of the day, until most of the shops are closed. He's a practical person, the gifts should reflect a practicality of use and a longevity, something useful and that will last awhile. He wants to get gifts for the party, but he's having a hard time figuring what these unusual folks might like. What could they each use? He thinks to himself.
Spirit points at everything it sees, and likes anything shiny or sparkling.
