Rond Wednesday January 26th, 2000 10:04:23 PM
Rond will look around for any indications of recent activity in the area (footprints and the like)
Branze Bones Thursday January 27th, 2000 1:53:26 AM
"Let Domi help guide are path from here. Domi show me any deciptions that may lie before us1" he says the quick prayer with holy symbol of twinned swords before him.((cast find traps))
DM Kent d100=14 d20=18 d20=16 d20=3 Thursday January 27th, 2000 9:41:03 AM
sedar opens the box and it doesn't blow up in his face. Inside is a sandwich, a small bottle of dark liquid, and a dried apple. Milo dips the pick into the barrel of liquid and nothing happens. Draxx looks around and somehow can tell that there has been quite a bit of activity down here recently, but all tracks end at the unfinished wall. Branze casts his spell and gets an indeterminate result. there are no "traps" but something isn't right. Kisst and the others neither see nor hear anything approaching.
K'isst Friday January 28th, 2000 8:16:11 AM
K'isst continues her vigil. She glances around for another exit however. She takes the opportunity to wipe and clean her weapons. "We should hurry when we can...I think."
Sedar d20=9 Friday January 28th, 2000 8:16:12 AM
Unwilling to beleive the mixed signals that he has received (tunnel ending , but tracks going on) the mage tries to see through the illusion that he perceives to have hold of this area. (successful save). ( OOC If true he will try and explain it to his friends)
Draax Friday January 28th, 2000 8:16:13 AM
Draax presses on the unfinished wall, checking to see how stable it is.
Arien Friday January 28th, 2000 11:51:49 AM
Noticing how the footsteps end Arien scoops up some loose pebbles and throws them one by one at differnent places in the wall to check if it is all solid.
Bill Troublefinder d20=10 d20=8 d20=1 d20=4 Friday January 28th, 2000 1:50:32 PM
Bill takes the rusty pick, and tries to whomp it into the wall a few times. On the third swing, the pick flies out of his hands at the height of its arc, and ascends toward the ceiling. He dodges to get out of its way, and manages to escape being impaled by the now descending pick (dex check). He picks himself up, dusts himself off, and says, "Hmm. I guess I forgot how to use that thing."
Branze Bones d20=11 Sunday January 30th, 2000 1:07:22 AM
::Disbelieving in the wall hoping it is false sorcerery that is trying to lead the Headhunters astray he stares hard at the wall.
DM Kent (A wall by any other name is just as solid... or is it?) d20=20 Sunday January 30th, 2000 4:23:09 PM
As Sedar wonders about the dead end he really never lloked around the area except to look at, check out, open and inspect the lunch pail. The samdwich looks fresh and eatible and the liquid is still warm, or at least the container it is in is. As K'isst stands guard waiting, Bill is playing at being a miner(or is that minor) and he discovers the wall is quite solid. Draxx also finds that when pressed upon the wall feels like solid rock and holds him up. Arien throws pebbles at the wall and watches them bounce off and hit the floor. Branze after reviewing his spell's results tries to not believe that the wall is there and to his suprise, he realises that it really isnt there. Or at least he doesnt see it anymore. In fact as he makes this discovery he sees Bill's pick and Arien's pebbles appear to both hit the wall and bounce back and go through the open space at the same time. In fact seeing that, kind of makes Branze a bit dizzy.
Branze Bones Monday January 31st, 2000 3:44:05 AM
"Its an Illusion." says the straight foward Branze. As he strides foward and contunies his concentration on the wall that isn't there. He attempts to walk right through it. Sword out and holy symbol before him.
K'isst Tuesday February 1st, 2000 11:48:24 AM
K'isst grins fiercely. "Nice trick that. Perhaps these Sahuagin devils are trickier than we first thought." She continues to watch vigil her eyes darting this way and that.
Bill Troublefinder d20=13 Tuesday February 1st, 2000 11:48:25 AM
"Oh. It seemed real." Bill follows after K'isst and Branze.
Rond Tuesday February 1st, 2000 11:48:26 AM
With the amount of activity there is in this room, somthing happened here. And it's odd that this food would be left with all this activity. I wonder if there is some kind of enchantment to these food items?
Draax d20=12 Tuesday February 1st, 2000 11:48:27 AM
Draax hearing Branze's words Draax looks again at the wall. "Now that you said something I can see that its does looks transparent, but for a while there it felt real,"
Sedar Tuesday February 1st, 2000 9:56:01 PM
waits for the others to enter, then trails behind
DM Kent (A wall by any other name is just as solid... or is it?) Tuesday February 1st, 2000 10:39:19 PM
Branze walks on thru the wall and the others follow as they are able. Once on the otherside the path winds around a bit and ends at the opening of a large cavern. 120 ft in to the cavern, There is a stone 12 ft tall pedestal in the center of the room and what appears to be a pool of water laps at the base of the pedestal behind it. On the top of the pedestal is a familiar looking item. It is the sentinel head.
Bill Troublefinder Wednesday February 2nd, 2000 1:47:23 AM
A very quiet, "Glory be," escapes from Bill's lips. His brief moment of rapture is followed by his scanning the area about. Ceiling, walls, floors, water...
Rond Wednesday February 2nd, 2000 7:01:16 AM
"The end of our Journey is at hand. Or is it?' As Rond looks around
Draax Wednesday February 2nd, 2000 12:08:33 PM
Draax follows the other through the false wall. He looks at the head that they were sent to find and then scans the area for the guards that he knows must be near. He puts most of his attention on monitoring the surface of the water in the pool, looking for any ripples in the water that would warn them of anything hiding in or coming out of the water.
Sedar Wednesday February 2nd, 2000 3:44:46 PM
"well. well how shall we move it now. " as he looks over the head, approaching it slowly. "we must'n forget to revisit Atomos be fore we leave the water also..." in response to those who may have forgotten that.
Bill Troublefinder Wednesday February 2nd, 2000 8:50:52 PM
Replying to Sedar, Bill comments, "You're right, Sedar. He's on our way back, and anyway, we won't forget." The halfling massages his forehead with his left hand for a moment.
Branze Bones Thursday February 3rd, 2000 3:09:39 AM
::find traps spell still active he cans the room looking for signs of trechory:: "I do not like this. One of the Sea Devils escaped perhaps to warn the others. So where are the others?" he says sword in front of him and shield up. "What water lowering scrolls do we have? Any or where they all water breathing.
K'isst Thursday February 3rd, 2000 3:50:55 AM
K'isst moves to the front of the party and motions Bill and Draax forward trying to get the fighters in the front. "Let's move cautiously friends. I don't think it's gonna be this easy." K'isst looks at the head to see how heavy it seems.
Bill Troublefinder Thursday February 3rd, 2000 8:55:08 PM
Bill scoots forward at K'isst's urging. Dart in right hand, short sword in left.
Dm (Kent) Thursday February 3rd, 2000 10:32:23 PM
As you approach the pillar more closely, you see several things. First and foremost is that little pond actually covers the entire rear side of the cavern behind the pillar. Second there are three levers at the base of the pillar. thirdly the head at best guestimates looks like it might weigh in the area of around 500 pounds give or take a few. Branze's spell again comes up with no traps per se, although there was a mechanical type bleep when he checked the pillar.
K'isst Thursday February 3rd, 2000 11:35:03 PM
K'isst continues to move forward slowly to a few feet from the edge of the water. She screws up her nose at the smell of the water, but forces her eyes to look for any movement. She tries to take in the scope of the room, it's shape, any exits. She motions Sedar forward and points at the levers base of the pillar where the levers are. She mouths the word "traps" silently.
Sedar Friday February 4th, 2000 8:56:22 PM
"trapped or check for ?" replying to K'isst. Taking a sidelong glance at triple B as he seems to keenly aware of his enviroment at this time. Giving Triple B a questioning looking about what he sees.
Branze Bones Saturday February 5th, 2000 4:18:14 AM
"There is something Sedar and Kisst. I know not exactly what. Something mechanical, i think. Perhaps are troubleshooters halflings could take a look at it. Do you still have that ring Borbo? Perhaps walking over under the cover it can provide will grant a better look at it." he says eyeing the water waiting for at any moment a sea devil. "That head will be heavy to move. We will need all of are efforts once we get it.
Bill Troublefinder Saturday February 5th, 2000 4:18:15 AM
"Uh, Branze, I haven't seen Borbo since just after we entered the temple. I think he put his ring on. It makes him invisible, you know. But, I'da thought he'd show up again once the immediate troubles were over. I've been keeping my eyes and ears out for him. Just hope nothin' bad has happened. Remember how he disappeared yesterday for most of the day? Then just showed up on the wagon?" Then Bill covers his mouth, realizing he is beginning to babble. Yet, unable to restrain himself, he briefly takes his hand away from his mouth. "Uh, Borb is good at the type of thing you're askin', Brother Branze. Anybody else here know how to fix traps? Or unfix 'em? I don't." His hand returns to cover his mouth. It looks as though a dart is growing sideways out from his nose.
Rond Saturday February 5th, 2000 12:24:29 PM
Rond will keep an eye out to the rear of the company. "I am not much with traps myself, other than finding them at the most inopportune time!"
Sedar d100=81 Sunday February 6th, 2000 10:03:33 AM
If the Borbo does not appear to check for traps sedar will begin to investigate it. (failed chk)
Dm (Kent) d3=2 Sunday February 6th, 2000 12:30:24 PM
Once again, Branze knows that there is not a trap on the pillar, just that there is a mechanical device that the spell had to think about for a moment. Borbo is nowhere to be found (he popped out again for awhile. Kisst is staring at the black reflective water and sees basically nothing. Sedar in checking the pillar out catches his hand on lever number two and as it slides down you hear a grinding noise as a stone slab slides nto place where the opening to the cavern was. The head is still atop the pillar t2 feet up.
Dm (Kent) d3=2 Sunday February 6th, 2000 12:31:08 PM

Branze Bones Sunday February 6th, 2000 11:42:00 PM
"Well lets get ropes around the head and see if we can lead it out of here. We will need all of are combine muscle to do it." he says as he pulls rope from his back and heads foward.
Rond Sunday February 6th, 2000 11:42:01 PM
I think first we have to figure how to get it off the pillar?!
K'isst Sunday February 6th, 2000 11:42:02 PM
K'isst her eyes wide says, "Pull that lever back! Pull it back!" She races over to the pillar and yanks on the lever pulling it back up into it's former position.
Draax Monday February 7th, 2000 4:45:35 AM
Draax stands with his weapon ready, still not believing that the fish men would leave the head unguarded.
Bill Troublefinder Monday February 7th, 2000 11:19:37 AM
"Yeah. Then, try that lever on the left," suggests Bill.
Arien Monday February 7th, 2000 11:51:36 PM
(OOC: Sorry about not being around but I just moved and things have been rather hectic but now, they're settiling down so I should have consistent access to the net now) Quietly bemused that there objective was here in front of them Arien idly scans the room for anyhting of interest, if he sees anything he wanders over to it to inspect it. If not he simply waits for the levers to be pulled.
Sedar Tuesday February 8th, 2000 1:05:18 AM
As the others try and move the other levers, The mage attempts to bock them. "They may be worse than just a door sliding into places"

KIsst pulls the lever back to where it was previously and the stone slab slowly starts raising back up. Bill makes the suggestion about moving another lever but is blocked by doing so by Sedar. While Branze gets out his rope, and ponders how it is going to be useful, the others are pondering how they are going to get the head down from the 12 ft high pillar.

as the door behind you is still grinding upward there is the familiar sound of cross bows firing and mere monents later Kisst, Bill, Arien, Draxx, and Rond are struck by bolts (Damage: K3, B3, A4, D3, and R3)
Bill Troublefinder Tuesday February 8th, 2000 12:25:21 PM
[d20=2 d20=9 d20=14 d20=15 d3=2 d3=1] Bill partly hides behind the pillar, looks to the source of the crossbow bolts, and returns fire with his darts. The first two find no mark, but the last two should hit (if there is anything to hit), for a total of 3 hp damage. [If there is no clear target, disregard the dart throwing. Session lost connection to internet, so copied post & rolls, clipped to Word, restarted, and posted here. Thus rolls in text above.]
K'isst d20+2=7 2d4(3+4)+5=12 Wednesday February 9th, 2000 7:34:37 AM
"Oww! Here we go again." K'isst spins to see who is there. Assuming that it is more Sahuagin, she charges them, not wanting to be trapped from the rear, and assuming they are within charging distance, charges the nearest one attacking with her bastard sword and using it with both hands. She rolls a 7 hitting AC 8 which in the unlikely case that it hits, does 12 hpd. She then prepares for the onslaught.
Rond d20=19 d20=16 d8=2 d8=1 Wednesday February 9th, 2000 7:34:38 AM
Seeing that the crossbow bolts didn't come from the rear of the party, Rond shout, "check above, they did not come from behind". Rond then figures as best he can, how to return fire with arrows. (hitting ac -4 and ac -1) for 3 points of damage. (if no way to figure a target, then negate attacks).
Draax Thursday February 10th, 2000 7:14:22 PM
Draax scans the area for where the crossbow bolts can from, if he is capable of getting to them he will charge them. If he is unable to get to them he will look for some cover from the crossbows and look around for any other uninvited guests.
Arien Friday February 11th, 2000 4:21:26 AM
Arien grunts as the bolts hit him and grabs his side. He attempts to get behind some cover to buy enough time to string his bow.

The bolts actually did come from the rear of the party as the door raised back up. Bill realizes that even should he be as strong and large as K'isst that he could never hope to throw darts 120 feet. He moves to the side of the pillar hesitating before moving into the water. Kisst charges and meets a moving sea devil(#5) who is currently holding his crossbow as a club. Kisst misses her attack and readies herself for the upcoming assault and takes 2 points as a crossbow is broken over her back. Rond quickly fires off two arrows, grazing the arm of sea devil #2, and causing him to drop the bolt he ws trying to load into his bow. Draxx charges and meets #1 and then stands suprised wondering what he should do now as he has no weapon in hand. #1 seadevil drops his crossbow and draws a nasty looking curved sword swinging with an evil leer at the weaponless Draxx and hits for 5 points of damage. #6 and #3 and #5 all fire their bows. hitting Branze for 2 points and arien for another 3. (the sea devil AC is 5)(we are in combat and see attached map)
Rond d20=11 d20=19 d8=3 d8=5 Friday February 11th, 2000 10:24:47 PM
Rond will move to his left to get a better angle on S#1, and first two shots at him, to try to keep him busy for Draxx. The smiling sea devils frowns as he discovers there are two arrows sticking out of him. (8 pts dam).
Sedar Friday February 11th, 2000 10:24:48 PM
As the sea devils enter, the 1/2 elf drops the lever that controls the door. Hoping that no more backup will arrive, from that direction then. He then readies a spell, if a sea devil charges him. And waits......
K'isst d20=1 d20=9 Saturday February 12th, 2000 12:47:53 AM
K'isst, undaunted, without losing her contact on s5 rotates to her right and also closes with s3 placing herself just to the "north of" or "above" both of them in an attempt to get both to switch to melee weapons. Then she attacks s3 twice dropping her sword during the first attack and picking it up again in lieu of the second attack thus not ever closing with s3 as planned, but instead just moving to her stated position to the north of s3 and s5. In frustration, she screams, "AAAAUUUUGH!"

"Sedar, guard the levers!" Bill runs in an arc from where he stands adjacent to the pillar, over to a point near the wall (upper left part of map), within dart range of the six sahuagin. Once within range, he hurls his darts. He focuses on S3, nailing the first dart for 6hp, and 4 more points from the next three darts (10 hp total).
Sedar Monday February 14th, 2000 8:45:55 PM
"right .. Bill" as he covers the levers.
Draax d20=16 Tuesday February 15th, 2000 2:30:54 AM
Having no idea what happened to the weapon that was in his hand Draax punches #1.
DM Kent (switching gears) d20=3 d20=18 d4=3 d20=9 d20=5 d20=7 Tuesday February 15th, 2000 9:04:12 PM
K'isst let's out a scream of frustration as she fumbles around with her weapon and then is attacked by #5 as it tries to draw a nasty looking sword, but gets it caught in its sheath and the stroke, when it finally comes, happens when Kisst is bending down so totally misses her. #2 charges through the crowd and is heading toward Draxx, Arien and the head and has a trident in hand but is too far away to attack. #3, after being stuck by bill's darts gets angry and charges forgetting that he only has an unloaded crossbow in his hands. Weilding it like a club, he connects solidly and causes Bill 4 pts of damage. #4 joined #2 in its charge but veared off and is engaging Branze with its trident and was distracted by Sedar re-activation of the lever, and missed Branze badly. #1, having been ounched in the nose by drax for a point of damage ( sorry Drax I missed your weapon in hand post several back) and then being skewered by Rond's arrows, decides he should try and take out the archer and charges Rond trident lowered and ready. the only problem was he wasnt paying attention to where he was going and runs 3ft past Rond. #6 steps up to replace 1 and attacks Draxx with his mace and misses. Meanwhile Drax Found his weapon in his sheat ready to draw(sorry again) And the door is grating closed yet again.
Sedar Tuesday February 15th, 2000 9:04:13 PM
Quite happy about no direct confrotation yet he takes in the battle. looking at the 2 remaining levers, he checks for any inscription for a hint at what they may be for. Keeping an eye for any stray tridents poking in his direction.

Bill Troublefinder d20=18 d6+1=3 Wednesday February 16th, 2000 3:24:58 AM
"Hey, ow! You started it!" Bill draws his short sword and slashes S3, trying to cripple the sahuagin at his knee (called shot, 18+1-4=15, hits), doing 3 hp damage. He dances back a bit along the wall, preparing to defend himself further.
Draax d20=19 d8=2 Wednesday February 16th, 2000 6:21:04 AM
Remembering where his weapon was (no problem) Draax gladly changes opponents and slashes #6 across the chest (6dmg).
Rond d20=9 Wednesday February 16th, 2000 6:41:51 AM
As Rond watches S1 approach, he will draw his weapon. Raising his eyebrow as the Sanguin passes, Rond slashes at him, missing, since he did not come straight at Rond, as anticipated.
Arien d20=16 d20=18 d6=3 d6=5 Wednesday February 16th, 2000 6:52:59 PM

Sedar looks at the three levers on the pillar's base and finds that they are identical in length, circumference, color, and material. The only apparent difference is that they each fit in to their own groove. Each lever is 18 inches long, gray metal and about 5 inches in circumference. The lever you all used is in the full down position the others are in a neutral middle position. As Sedar plays inspecter #13, the Sahuagin attack again and #1 again misses Rond and stares at his trident, like it is to blame for the misses. #2 continues its charge toward Sedar but being distracted by the arows that hit him misses his attempt at making the Wold's first Sedar-Que skewer. #3 Responds to Bill's complaints by missing, cursing in a tongue none can understand, and throwing his crossbow to the floor in disgust. #4 Does a quick reversal and manages to stick Branze, not once but twice, with his trident for 13 points of damage. #5, almost taunting K'iist as it dances away just out of reach of her last attack counters with her jagged sword connecting for 4 pints. #6 whirls his mace around and swings mightily at Draxx's body but manages only to hit air as he reels from the wound inflicted by Draxx. (The sahaugin are still AC 5 as posted above)
Sedar Thursday February 17th, 2000 8:02:14 PM
Ducking the near impalement by the sea devil. The Mage grabs both centered levers and pulls them down. hoping that Arien's aim be true.
Branze Bones d20=18 d8=5 Friday February 18th, 2000 3:08:41 AM
"Ugh." only the years of careful training keep the warrior priest from falling to teh wounds to his abdomen. the piercing of three sharp prongs through chainmail armor and shield is not a thing most men can handle easily. Branze is no exception. ANger fills him and desperetaion. "Not to the likes of you." he says staring into black beedy eyes. Losing his cool and taking a wild swing rather then the usual effiecent calculating swings that branze is known for pays off. The rage driven blow strikes the hide of the sea devil drawing blood.((8 points damage.))
Bill Troublefinder d20+1=20 d6+1=3 d6+1=2 d20+1=7 Friday February 18th, 2000 3:16:46 AM
Bill swings at S3 again, again he focuses on the sahuagin's knee (called shot). He again does 3hp damage (or is it 7hp w/adjusted 20? If so, no extra post-20 damage, anyway). He hopes this sea devil's leg is getting wobbly. "You're not very nice to your weapon." He again dances back a little, near the north wall.
Draax d20=19 d8+4=9 Friday February 18th, 2000 5:28:19 AM
While the creature is off balanced from its last swing, Draax steps in and hits it again with his longsword (9dmg)

Her self frustratoin growing, she strikes out at what she now realizes is #5 twice joyously hitting the sea-devil for 9 and 11 = 20hpd. "Ha! Bring in on! Can you see the death in your own eyes! Huh?" She glances back to Branze. "You ok back there?"

Sedar lowers the two levers and only one apparent thing happens. The pillar and the head start rising up even higher. The pillar starts to slowly move upward and by the end of the round has come to a stop at 30 ft up. Only 2 ft from the roof. #1 seems a bit wobbly, or is it a ruse as he steps up after being hit by Rond and deals a blow of his own that causes pain and 4 points of damage to the stalwart Rond. #2 taken by surprise by Sedar's ducking action, two more arrows, and the quick rising of the pillar lunges at Sedar and sends his trident out into the pool of water. The seadevil has a look in his eye like he would like to join it. #3 strikes out at Bill and misses and throws his weapon away looking like he is going to use his natural weapons on the little fellow but instead fals to one knee. #4 goes for Branze again and misses so badly that for a moment he is turned all the way around(+2 to hit Branze) #5 has a shocked look on its face as it is not only hit once but twice, by the troggish warrior princess. It recovers enough to send a strike K'isst's way but it glances off and does no damage. the Seadevil then collapses. While Sedar has his back to the fight and is facing the pillar and hence the pond, he now sees two more things. First it looks as if there is more water pouring into the room from below and there is an awful lot of other activity coming from under the surface.
Rond (upto his neck in things) d20=10 Monday February 21st, 2000 9:29:02 AM
Wincing in pain, the next attack misses, as Rond favors the fresh wound.
Branze Bones d20=16 d20=17 d8=1 d8=8 Monday February 21st, 2000 12:46:17 PM
"Time to die for your sins. Domi greets all that die in battle." he says as he quickly slashes out at the back of the turned Sea Devil. THe first slash a light faint to draw the Sea devils guard high strikes and draws light blood on its shoulder. The second a piercing blow aimed at the midsection, drives home as Ghetto Blaster slides easily into the skin of the sea devil. The green and red ichor covers the blade as branze quickly pulls the blade out to se if the creature still draws breath.((15 points total)) "I will live, i cant say the same for my oppanant." says the black cloaked and badly bleeding Branze, blood coating his chain mail and sword, truely he now looks the image of the Battle Brother of Domi he is.
Sedar Monday February 21st, 2000 8:03:39 PM
Cursing to himself at seeing the pillar rise instead of dropping he jams the two levers up to upmost positions" MOVEMENT in The WATER .." he yells out in warning to the others. as he again tries to duck out of the way of the nearest seadevils coming attack.
K'isst d20=10 d8+5=9 Monday February 21st, 2000 10:43:23 PM
K'isst looks down at the fallen #5 she has been fighting. If it is squirming she attacks it again. If it is still, she will race to join Bill and attack #3. Wherever the attack goes, K'isst hits AC5 which if it hits does 9hpd. "We need to finish these off so we're not fighting on two fronts. Let someone know if you need help."
Bill Troublefinder d20=20 d20=9 d6=2 Tuesday February 22nd, 2000 2:14:32 AM
Now that the sea devil's head is closer to his level, Bill swings for the neck. He connects well (nat. 20) for (6+1) 7 hp damage. "Hi!" he says to K'isst.
Arien d20=19 d20=6 d6=5 Tuesday February 22nd, 2000 12:02:37 PM
Not liking whats going on in the water Arien manuvers away while shooting at s2 again. He strikes the Sea Devil with the first (5pts)but stumbles when launching the second, which skids along the floor.
DM Kent (as the tide turns) d20=12 d20=18 d6=2 Tuesday February 22nd, 2000 5:12:52 PM
#2,#3,#4 and #5 all fall to the party's offensive onslaught. #1 gets distracted by his comrades falling and misses Rond. #6 swings at Draxx again and meets with some success as he connects for 2 points. Sedar and Arien who are faced more toward the pool and pillar see two things. The first is that there seem to be an awful lot of seadevils rising out of the surf, and second, as the pillar reaches its highest point there is an object attached to the base of the pillar that has obviously been under water and seen better days. (Sedar and Arien Roll perception and then save vs petrification no bonuses).
DM Kent (as the tide turns)part two d20=12 d20=18 d6=2 Tuesday February 22nd, 2000 5:24:29 PM
Sedar and Arien also notice that their feet are now getting wet, where before, they were several feet from the water.
Draax d20=12 d8+4=9 Tuesday February 22nd, 2000 6:32:34 PM
Not aware of the situation developing behind him. Draax takes the hit from the creature in stride and again delivers his own blow (9 dgm).
Sedar d20=18 Tuesday February 22nd, 2000 6:32:35 PM
"what is tha......" (failed save) pointing towards the object on the base of the pillar as his body stiffens.
Bill Troublefinder d20=15 Tuesday February 22nd, 2000 9:30:33 PM
Bill calls out, looking up toward the head upon the pedestal, "Donyra, and Alemi, Domi, and Mighty Sentinel - help us! Help us against our enemies, the Sea Devils, who stole the Heart, who stole the Head!" He takes the hammer, and strikes the ground.
Branze Bones Wednesday February 23rd, 2000 1:30:26 AM
"By Domi, I will go down as a battlelord should." he says seeing the onrushing lot of sea devils. He quickly quaffs one of the potions of healing. "Some of use will have to stay and hold them off. The stronger of the party, Kisst, Rond, Draxx. You need to get the head out of here." he says trying to urge the party on. "We cant let the town down, even if it means some sacrifice." he says stepping foward and looking at the overwhelming odds, with small smile.
K'isst d20=18 d20=10 2d4(4+2)+5=11 2d4(3+2)+5=10 Wednesday February 23rd, 2000 1:30:27 AM
K'isst seeing the panic turn to fatalism in her friends, turns resolutely to assess the coming onslaught. "No one dies here. We all get out." She grits her teeth. "These guys are the ones who will die. We do this for Windhorn! We do this for US! Beware the true heroes that stand together this day!" Deciding she has to attack something while awaiting those in the water, she races over to s6 and strikes at him twice hitting AC -3 and 5 for 11 and 10hpd just in case that the mighty Draax didn't finish the devil off.
Rond (knee deep) d20=7 Wednesday February 23rd, 2000 1:30:28 AM
Rond continues the (not so ) good fight. He misses as he notices the other Sea Devils falling, and hears his friends comments.
Arien d20=7 d20=16 Wednesday February 23rd, 2000 7:54:05 PM
"What the heck is that?!?" Arien exclaims as sees whatever the thing is. (made both rolls)
DM Kent (reunited and it makes me sick....) d20=8 Wednesday February 23rd, 2000 8:44:39 PM
Draxx and Kisst disintegrate s6 and #1 misses Rond when it attacks. The water has now surrounded the pillar and is several feet past Sedar and Arien. Arien sees that the object tied to the side of the pillar is the missing Borbo and he is very dead. Sedar loses his lunch as he realizes what the bundle is. The 14 new Sahaugin will be able to attack in one round...Decisions and actions??
Branze Bones Thursday February 24th, 2000 2:28:18 AM
"Two for each of us then if none of us leave and we all leave together." he says watching the advance...." Well lets even the odds of battle a little more. DOMI, freeze some of the sea devils so teh battle may be even under your eyes, let strategy of battle be praised.." ((cast hold person on 4 of them)) "Lets hope that helps Kisst."
Sedar d4=3 d4=3 Thursday February 24th, 2000 2:28:19 AM
seeing his companion dead. The mage steels himself for battle. Looking over the new mass of Sea Devils. He begins some arcane rite (sleep spell 6 hit die total). Stratigicly avoiding Triple B's area of effect.
Rond d20=18 d10=6 Thursday February 24th, 2000 3:46:27 AM
Determined not to miss again, Rond connects for 6 more points of damage.
Draax d8=7 Thursday February 24th, 2000 12:06:56 PM
Draax looks a the number of creatures they are about to face. With his free hand he reaches for one of his potions of extra healing and take a third of the potion (regains 7 HP). "Aw, that hit the spot." He puts away the unused 2 portions.
Arien d4+1=4 Thursday February 24th, 2000 7:00:19 PM
Arien slings his bow over his shoulder for a moment and whilst backing away from the new Sea Devils casts Mirror Image, creating 4 copies around him.

Rond Takes a second to breathe and celebrate as his opponent finally falls and then sees two more ready to take his place. Branze's spell comes off easily and three sea devils cease forward movement. Sedar somehow manages to recover enough from losing his lunch to cast a sleep spell and two sahaugin stop advancing. Sedar has a pleased half second before he realizes that he is now basically surrounded and behind enemy lines. Arien is rushed by two sea devils and they are surprised to be suddenly faced with four of Ariens instead of one. Branze also has only a moment to be pleased with his spell results as he is now facing two sea devils himself. Rond and Sedar are both hit for 3 points each.
Branze Bones d8=4 d20=4 Friday February 25th, 2000 1:31:54 AM
::first die roll was for potion drank 3 rounds ago:: "For Domi, For windhorn.....We cannot fail...get the head out of here, if some must sacrifice....then the whole village doesnt die from dragon flight. The ropes are ready just start pulling it away from raising water." he shouts as his ankles start to get wet from rising water he launches an attack at first sea devil. But the twin devils use tactical placement to cause his wepaon to miss.
Sedar Friday February 25th, 2000 1:31:55 AM
Seeing the large number of sea devils he becomes overwhelmed for a moment. Quickly calling forth a quick pulse of persusion (charm spell). He sends it forth over the nearest sea devil. Without waiting to see if it has taken effect he says to the creature "protect me" before turn to lower the levers to bring the statue head down. Spinning away to duck any pointy objects he looks for the ropes.
Arien d4+1=5 d4+1=4 Friday February 25th, 2000 1:31:56 AM
Arien, using the distraction caused by the images quickly casts magic missile and blasts the nearest Sahugin with both missiles for a total of 9 points of damage.
Bill Troublefinder d20=19 d20=11 d20=19 d20=14 d3=2 d3=3 d3=1 d3=1 Friday February 25th, 2000 1:31:57 AM
As the hammer strike had no immediately apparent effect, Bill dashes forward to aid Arien - er, Ariens. He aims his darts at S7, striking thrice for a total of 4 hp damage. Bill stays within dart range, but not at the front.

Rond d20=10 Friday February 25th, 2000 1:31:59 AM
Rond misses. (ooc to the tune of I've been working on the railroad).
Draax d20=10 d8+4=6 Friday February 25th, 2000 5:14:59 AM
Draax moves up to Sedar and helps give the mage some space. He moves in between the mage and #14 striking the creature across its side (6dgm).
K'isst d20+2=14 d8+5=11 Saturday February 26th, 2000 1:01:50 AM
"Good move Draax." K'isst races forward "charging" s13 (+2 for charge; -1 penalty to AC next attack on K'isst) rolling a 14 and hitting AC 1 for 11hpd. She makes sure that Sedar is protected from s13 placing herself in front of Sedar. She'll try and take any attacks that come his way.
DM Kent (the charge of the light brigade...or Seadevils to the left of me......) d20=15 d20=13 d20=6 d20=12 d20=8 d20=11 d20=18 d20=4 d20=16 d20=18 d20=12 d20=16 d20=16 Saturday February 26th, 2000 11:01:08 AM
Sedar's spell takes effect although he doesn't notice. And in his hurry to work the levers, Sedar moves them all. Several things happen the pillar starts lowering, quickly resubmerging Borbo, and the rear door starts opening again. The head will be at a reachable level in 2 rounds. Draxx, Branze, Arien and Rond are each facing three sea devils. Rond is hit for 6 points. Branze's attackers all miss and Draxx is hit for 4 points. K'isst also would be facing three opponents except that s20 steps in front of the two approaching sahaugins in order to carry out his, protect Sedar, directive. K'isst's opponent hits her for 5 points. Two of the false Ariens are also hit and disappear. As the rear door opens you hear the sounds of angry voices coming from behind it.
DM Kent (the charge of the light brigade...or Seadevils to the left of me......) Saturday February 26th, 2000 1:33:29 PM
You all notice that everyone except for Bill is standing/fighting in, just over, ankle deep water.
Branze Bones d20=16 d20=9 d8=3 Sunday February 27th, 2000 6:43:53 AM
"Your evil shall not truimph." says the warrior priest as a sword blow connects from his blue bladed steel he has come to call ghetto blaster. One of the three sea devils in front sprouts a small wound as he presses the attack. A second blow just missing as the rising water causes much reason for concern. Hearing the noises in the distance, he sets his face in determantion. "If we wish to fight this and win we should pull back to a defenseable formation. To the doorway where no more then 2 or three can get to us at a time, and we could rotate to rest heal and suck down potions." says branze as he begins to move back towards the doorway in a fighting retreat.
Sedar Sunday February 27th, 2000 6:43:54 AM
Hearing Branze's cry for defensive postioning, sedar begins making his way towards. Stopping for a moment as he realizes that a seadevil is actually blocking attacks towards himself.
Rond d8=6 Sunday February 27th, 2000 10:43:12 AM
Showing signs of fatigue, and showing several cuts from various attacks, Rond pulls out, and quaffs a healing potion for 6pts of dam. It not apparent whether it did any good or not. Rond will then start backing up as best he can.
Draax d20=18 d20=15 d8+4=11 d8+4=6 Sunday February 27th, 2000 10:00:12 PM
Hearing Branze's call to move back to a defensive position. Draax will move back slowing letting the others move back first. He will take slow backward steps continuing to be offensive and defensive. He take two more swings at #14 as he take his first step backward (17dmg total).
K'isst d20=13 d20=13 d8+5=7 Monday February 28th, 2000 4:22:31 AM
K'isst screams, "Not until we have the head!" Realizing that she was not to get the opportunity to kill all of these sea devils and that she is biding her time until the head can be had, she attempts to parry the hit that just did the 5 hps to her rolling a 13 which hits AC2. She then attacks the beast with her second attack hitting AC2 again for 7hpd.
Arien d20=16 d20=14 d6=4 d6=3 Monday February 28th, 2000 4:22:32 AM
"Getting Borbo would be a good idea too!" Arien cries out as he retrieves his bow and launches another pair of arrows at the Sea Devil he already hit and strikes twice again for a total of 7 pts
Bill Troublefinder d20=4 d20=1 d20=4 d20=12 d3=1 Monday February 28th, 2000 4:22:33 AM
The noise of battle and shouted commands serve to distract Bill somewhat, and he grabs one of his darts by the feathers, which he holds as the solid body of the dart drops to the floor. Then, when Arien mentions getting Borbo, Bill yells back, "Yeah, have you seen him? B-O-R-B-O, Where Are Y-O-U-?" He finally connects with a feeble throw, hitting S19 [I think - map at home] for 1 hp damage.
