WotA Kano (6:07:08 PM): *stomp!* Not so well
AussieScum (6:37:36 PM): OK, recap
WotA Dethel (6:37:59 PM): Howdy Steve :-)
AussieScum (6:38:21 PM): The walls of this room have recently been painted
blood red. Five sconces hold lit torches, but their flames fail to hold the
dreary shadows at bay.
AussieScum (6:38:28 PM): A yellow sand pentagram occupies the middle of the
floor, and upon the elaborate design are several splatters of blood from the
Dwarf who hangs upside down above it.
AussieScum (6:38:32 PM): Upon the wall opposite from the door is a long,
narrow stone table serving as an altar.
AussieScum (6:38:39 PM): Upon it are two burning candles of black wax, a
dead rat, a thick leather-bound tome and several jars made from green and
orange clay.
AussieScum (6:38:44 PM): Two other figures stand in the dark chamber:
AussieScum (6:38:49 PM): One, a gray skinned Nothrog in dark robes with a
long, crooked nose
AussieScum (6:38:54 PM): The other, a tall, beautiful red-headed woman in
shiny chain shirt with a longsword at her hip.
AussieScum (6:38:58 PM): The Dwarf is bound and gagged, and suspended by a
rope that binds his feet.
AussieScum (6:39:04 PM): The rope passes through a metal ring set in the
shadowy ceiling and is tied to a peg in the altar.
AussieScum (6:39:12 PM): He looks weak and blood drips from his dangling
fingers....

AussieScum (6:45:04 PM): OK
AussieScum (6:45:35 PM): In an odd little twist, one fellow points his
finger at the wall in the NE corner of the room.
AussieScum (6:46:35 PM): The wall vanishes and he runs out through it.

swing to your full attack ))
WotA Daere (6:55:45 PM): Can I get a shot off
at the albino, or do I need to follow him through that secret door?
AussieScum (6:55:58 PM): You're in the same room as him
AussieScum (6:56:14 PM): You hadn't made it into 3.6 yet, so he appears
through the wall and is in 3.5 with you
AussieScum (6:56:17 PM): Silly throggie
WotA Kano (6:56:29 PM): ((I think the word is EEDEEOT.))
WotA Daere (6:56:38 PM): Ah, OK. I shoot him. :) AussieScum (6:56:57 PM): (( But he has a plan so

one
WotA Kano (7:01:13 PM): "OW!" WotA Kano (7:01:22 PM): "Hey, you traitor!" WotA Daere (7:01:27 PM): "Oh, gods,
they're multiplying..."
AussieScum (7:01:41 PM): 2 + 2 sneak is 4 - better gimme a concentration
check or lose that spell WotA Kano (7:02:04 PM): (20, no prob)
AussieScum (7:02:06 PM): ok
AussieScum (7:02:48 PM): The throg places his hand in a mouth on the wall,
mutters something (listen check MR). The wall opens, he slips in and the wall
closes behind him. Hey, it's a lot for one round, but work with me for dramatic
effect. WotA Eirlys (7:03:33 PM): listen 16
WotA Eirlys (7:03:36 PM): Don't I get an AoO?
WotA Eirlys (7:03:54 PM): At least I can smack him
while he's doing a lot :-)
AussieScum (7:03:57 PM): Sure WotA Eirlys (7:04:09 PM): heh. maybe not
WotA Eirlys (7:04:25 PM): (too busy listening)
AussieScum (7:04:26 PM): You only hear him say "Kavara mumble mumble
mutter"
WotA
Eirlys (7:04:50 PM): AD to reroll?
AussieScum (7:05:10 PM): Sure WotA Jarek (7:05:14 PM): (( you can add d6,
but not reroll )0
WotA Eirlys (7:05:25 PM): (ah, thanks)
AussieScum (7:05:26 PM): Ah yes, like a spycraft AD WotA Daere (7:05:31 PM): ((and technically you
have to call that before you know the result))
WotA Kano (7:05:32 PM): ((Reroll is a Mike house rule. And, it costs 2.))
WotA Eirlys (7:05:33 PM): :-(
WotA Eirlys (7:05:36 PM): 17!
AussieScum (7:05:40 PM): Um, no ;-)
AussieScum (7:05:45 PM): Finally...
AussieScum (7:05:54 PM): The redhead drops her sword and raises her hands.
AussieScum (7:06:01 PM): "Don't kill me, I'll tell you what I
know"
AussieScum (7:06:05 PM): Jarek
AussieScum (7:06:58 PM): (( I gotta remember that
this was designed for a party of 4 and beef these encounters up a little :-) ))
WotA Jarek (7:07:18 PM): "Stay down...." :: kick her sword
away, bodily move her out of the doorway and back into the 'ritual' room ::
AussieScum (7:07:41 PM): She obediently stays down
WotA Jarek (7:07:42 PM): :: over shoulder
:: "Sit Rep?"
WotA Dethel (7:07:54 PM): :move to dwarf, and
heal:
AussieScum (7:08:00 PM): (( We'll call this combat
done, you can easily dispose of the nimbic ))
WotA Kano (7:08:06 PM): ((Let me do it!))
WotA Axton (7:08:08 PM): then talk!!! where did
the other one go?
AussieScum (7:08:11 PM): He has 3 HP!
WotA Jarek (7:08:23 PM): so does Kano (at this point)
WotA Dethel (7:08:32 PM): He, who?
WotA Kano (7:08:33 PM): ((I finish the summon, spend an action point to retrieve the spell,
then Scratch Fury and I whack him))
WotA Daere (7:08:34 PM): ::thwick:: Not anymore... AussieScum (7:08:45 PM): (( Let me take care of
the dwarf tending, Curtis, then we'll get to your interrogation :-) ))
WotA Axton (7:08:55 PM): ok AussieScum (7:09:04 PM): AC 15 on the rogue there Kano AussieScum (7:09:12 PM): But y ou don't seem to have a problem with that! WotA Kano (7:09:33 PM): Scratch Fury did him for 6, and I hit him for 3
AussieScum (7:09:42 PM): Scratch Fury and Kano rip into the Nimbic Servant
and he falls down, bleeding out
WotA
Eirlys (7:09:42 PM): ((will keep watch for the
Nothrog and other trouble, while I go do my work. Poke me in IM (or Curtis yell
:-) ) )) when you need me))
AussieScum (7:09:51 PM): OK
WotA Jarek (7:09:52 PM): :: slash, claw,
grar ::
AussieScum (7:10:03 PM): OK, you heal the dwarf (and cut his ass down I
assume?)
WotA Dethel (7:10:20 PM): And the rest of him, yes and yes :-)
WotA Axton (7:10:20 PM): and the rest of his body also
WotA Kano (7:10:49 PM): ::keep whaling on the other
nimbic:: "What the heck was that for?"
AussieScum (7:11:07 PM): (( What the heck was what
for? ))
WotA Jarek (7:11:39 PM): "Kano! Enough, little
man. Why don't you go treasure-hunting in here for a minute?"
WotA Kano (7:11:40 PM): ((Stabbing me in the back!))
WotA Kano (7:11:50 PM): ::perks up:: "Huh? Oh! Good
idea!"
WotA Daere (7:12:02 PM): ::will also stand watch::
AussieScum (7:12:16 PM): The dwarf introduces himself as Barrin
AussieScum (7:12:37 PM): "Thank you for saving me, I think I was about
to end up bleeding out all over the floor after that thing sliced my neck
open"
WotA Dethel (7:12:50 PM): "Thing?"
AussieScum (7:13:06 PM): "That albino"
WotA Dethel (7:13:15 PM): "Oh, and your welcom"
WotA Jarek (7:13:17 PM): "Never seen a Nothrog before, eh?
Heh"
AussieScum (7:13:34 PM): "Many things I've never seen before"
AussieScum (7:13:44 PM): "But enough small talk! There are things you
must know!"
WotA Kano (7:13:47 PM): ::look around in 3.6 while they
talk::
WotA Jarek (7:13:52 PM): "Any idea why you were chosen to die?" :: look to the girl too ::
AussieScum (7:14:07 PM): "Garkar'l is intent on getting the Crystal of
Corruption. You must stop him!"
WotA Dethel (7:14:08 PM): "Go ahead."
AussieScum (7:14:25 PM): (( oops Crystal of
Corrosion ))
AussieScum (7:14:48 PM): "Down the passage behind the wall in the
temple is the place where it is found"
WotA Dethel (7:14:49 PM): "Who is Garkar'l, adn what is the Crystal?
And where are they both?"
AussieScum (7:15:04 PM): "The end of the passage is guarded by two
gargoyles"
AussieScum (7:15:11 PM): "I can give you a passphrase to get past
them"
AussieScum (7:15:36 PM): "You must say, in dwarven, "The Stone
holds the Strength of Sjonegaard'"
AussieScum (7:15:49 PM): "Garkar'l is the name that the albino used
for himself"
WotA Dethel (7:16:05 PM): "Must we each say the words?"
WotA Jarek (7:16:21 PM): "Right. And how bad is this Crystal? Why
didn't he have it before?"
AussieScum (7:16:30 PM): "The Crystal is an artifact that the
Sjonegaard, the Elemental King, helped the priests of Kavara obtain ages
ago"
AussieScum (7:16:53 PM): (( Coming back to your
questions after I spill more info ))
WotA Dethel (7:17:01 PM): NP
AussieScum (7:17:21 PM): "The Crystal corrodes anything metal by
merely a touch. It instantly falls to dust" (( Portable Rust Monster. Kewl ))
WotA Jarek (7:17:23 PM): (( lots of talk for a
guy in a rush. :) ))
AussieScum (7:17:39 PM): "If Garkar'l had it, he could possibly defear
the mightiest of warriors"
AussieScum (7:17:54 PM): "If one of you says the phrase, all may
pass."
AussieScum (7:18:30 PM): "The Crystal is down the end of the hall
behind the secret door." :: he blushes in shame
:: "He had not had it before because he had been unable to get the
password out of me."
AussieScum (7:18:47 PM): "But after the last torture session, I would
have said anything to make the pain stop"
AussieScum (7:19:16 PM): "Quickly, go and stop him, I beg you"
AussieScum (7:19:43 PM): Moving over to Axton and the redhead....
AussieScum (7:19:56 PM): While the dwarf is spilling the above, the redhead
tells a version of the same story.
AussieScum (7:20:11 PM): The Nothrog is after the Crystal of Corrosion.
She, however, has the passphrase to the secret door
WotA Axton (7:20:34 PM): the 2nd one or the 1st one
AussieScum (7:20:45 PM): If you place your hand in the mouth (the same one
that Garkar'l did) and say "Kavara fears no flame", the two traps on
the door will be bypassed.
AussieScum (7:21:02 PM): Looking close at the hole in the wall that the
baddie came out of, you realize that it's not a secret
door
AussieScum (7:21:08 PM): There's a section of wall missing.
AussieScum (7:21:15 PM): A very neat 10x10 square
AussieScum (7:22:10 PM): Kano, over to you
AussieScum (7:22:15 PM): You're doing the treasure hunt thing....
WotA Axton (7:22:18 PM): tie her up and yell at the others
AussieScum (7:22:24 PM): Going into the room marked as 3.7 on the map?
WotA Axton (7:22:32 PM): let go i have the passcode to bypass the traps
WotA Axton (7:23:05 PM): but i want to take her with us just incase she
is lieing to me
WotA Axton (7:23:46 PM): take her over to the wall
WotA Kano (7:23:47 PM): (Yes, I'll end up poking around in 3.7)
AussieScum (7:23:57 PM): The baddies treasure chest is in here
WotA Kano (7:24:03 PM): ((Woo!))
WotA Axton (7:24:15 PM): put her hand in the mouth.... now say the phase
AussieScum (7:24:16 PM): And a book on the table in the room is a prayer
book to Kavara with the inscription on the first page "Kavara fears no
flame"
WotA Kano (7:24:21 PM): "Ummm...Erilys? You want to take a look at these?"
AussieScum (7:24:24 PM): Hold on a sec Curtis :-)
WotA Axton (7:24:29 PM): ok
AussieScum (7:24:38 PM): We're split up here, we'll get you all synched
here in a moment :-)
WotA Eirlys (7:24:52 PM): "Sure."
AussieScum (7:24:53 PM): (( You tied her up, gives
Mike a sec to play treasure hunter ;-) ))
WotA Kano (7:24:53 PM): ::bouncing from one foot to the
other as he stands by the treasure chest::
WotA Kano (7:25:12 PM): "I probably shouldn't try to open it..."
WotA Eirlys (7:25:12 PM): ::takes a careful trap look :-)
::
AussieScum (7:25:17 PM): Roll it
WotA Kano (7:25:23 PM): ::looks over her shoulder,
standing on tiptoes to do so::
WotA Eirlys (7:25:24 PM): "Not yet you
shouldn't." WotA Eirlys (7:25:51 PM): 25 search
WotA Eirlys (7:26:13 PM): ::resists the urge to elbow the
little guy ;-) ::
AussieScum (7:26:34 PM): Yes, there's a trap here
AussieScum (7:26:40 PM): Looks like a poison needle trap
WotA
Eirlys (7:26:54 PM): "Stand back - I
don't want to blow you up, too."
WotA Eirlys (7:27:07 PM): ::flexes fingers and goes to
work:: WotA Eirlys (7:27:16 PM): 30 DD :-D
AussieScum (7:27:27 PM): You disable the trap
AussieScum (7:27:30 PM): Now, it's still locked
WotA
Eirlys (7:27:39 PM): ::holds up the needle carefully, then tucks it safely away::
WotA Eirlys (7:27:46 PM): ::work on the lock:: WotA Eirlys (7:27:52 PM): 15 OL
AussieScum (7:28:00 PM): How do you feel about that number at your Tier?
WotA
Eirlys (7:28:09 PM): LOL!
WotA Eirlys (7:28:18 PM): Oh, let's add the d6 WotA Eirlys (7:28:28 PM): heh 17.
AussieScum (7:28:31 PM): So close, but no cigar
WotA
Eirlys (7:28:36 PM): I think I'll be working
on it a while ...
AussieScum (7:28:48 PM): You can take it with you and work on it later if
necessary
AussieScum (7:28:54 PM): Meanwhile, back at the ranch....
WotA
Eirlys (7:29:17 PM): ::That works:: "Kano - PLEASE don't hover so close!"
AussieScum (7:29:23 PM): As you all finish your healing / talking &
interrogating and binding redheads / looting, it's a miracle that you're all
done about the same time.
AussieScum (7:29:44 PM): Axton, impatient as most green giants are, places
his hand in the mouth on the wall and says the phrase
AussieScum (7:29:46 PM): The wall opens.
AussieScum (7:29:54 PM): And a long tunnel looms before you.
WotA Axton (7:29:57 PM): no her hand
WotA Axton (7:30:37 PM): and she says the phase.
WotA Jarek (7:30:46 PM): :: take point ::
"Keep an eye out for any other surprises, Kano."
WotA Axton (7:30:51 PM): might have been traped and
WotA Axton (7:30:57 PM): might have lost my hand
WotA Daere (7:30:58 PM): ::takes rear guard::
WotA Kano (7:31:03 PM): ::nods:: "You got
it." ::will keep watching behind::
AussieScum (7:31:05 PM): (( ha ha ))
WotA Kano (7:31:11 PM): "All I see is Daere's hips."
WotA Eirlys (7:31:11 PM): ((good point, Axton - but
I could've checked that :-) ))
AussieScum (7:31:23 PM): The tunnel is long.
WotA Kano (7:31:24 PM): ::look up at Daere, waggle my
eyebrows and grins::
AussieScum (7:31:25 PM): Very long
AussieScum (7:31:27 PM): And dark
AussieScum (7:31:39 PM): The walls are pitch black
WotA Daere (7:31:40 PM): ::rolls eyes::
WotA Axton (7:31:49 PM): i have dark vision 120'
WotA Eirlys (7:31:50 PM): ::right behind Jarek, looking
for traps as we go (the casual look, not searching every 5 feet::
AussieScum (7:32:00 PM): As you walk along, you realize that the passage is
sloping slightly downwards
WotA
Eirlys (7:32:03 PM): ::will get out a light if necessary::
WotA Jarek (7:32:08 PM): "Someone grab a
torch or two from the main room."
AussieScum (7:32:11 PM): (( Yes, necessary ))
WotA Axton (7:32:34 PM): ((well there goes my darkvision))
WotA Daere (7:32:45 PM): "Would you mind
grabbing one of those, Short Stuff? I kinda need both hands for the bow."
WotA Eirlys (7:32:46 PM): ((sorry, green guy))
WotA Jarek (7:32:47 PM): (( or I have this

WotA Kano (7:33:56 PM): "Wow, this is a long tunnel..."
WotA Jarek (7:34:13 PM): (( did we hear
running footsteps echoing or anything? ))
AussieScum (7:34:16 PM): The markings on the map, which should have been
the gargoyles you were told about, are not there
AussieScum (7:34:37 PM): (( I"ll say not,
because you healed a dwarf, tied up a redhead and looted some. He had plenty of time ))
WotA Kano (7:34:38 PM): ((Which means that Dorkwad Nothrog already dealt with them...))
WotA Axton (7:34:57 PM): or they him

WotA Jarek (7:37:14 PM): :: motion to
her, whisper :: "Call for your friend."
WotA Dethel (7:37:33 PM): "Would you accept the power of the Four
Elements?"
AussieScum (7:37:34 PM): He says "It's possible that the albino has
control of the gargoyles now, this could be bad"
AussieScum (7:37:49 PM): Borka, to Jarek: "And then what?"
WotA Jarek (7:38:07 PM): :: look at
Dethel - who is he talking to? ::
AussieScum (7:38:33 PM): (( Joe, who are you

WotA Dethel (7:39:49 PM): "No, a blessing only"
WotA Jarek (7:39:52 PM): (( I have a sizable
owie, now that I think about it. down 10 of 26 ))
WotA Axton (7:39:56 PM): ((little people have little ones))

AussieScum (7:46:55 PM): OK, you head down.
WotA Axton (7:47:06 PM): have my great club out\
AussieScum (7:47:08 PM): The further you head down, the rougher the "terrain"
gets
AussieScum (7:47:33 PM): It's almost as if acid has eaten away the stone
rather than it being cut
AussieScum (7:47:42 PM): The grays and blacks are splattered with red
AussieScum (7:47:53 PM): The room at the end seems even more damaged
AussieScum (7:48:03 PM): It sort of looks like a natural cavern
AussieScum (7:48:24 PM): The rock on the floor and ceiling is covered in
dark borwns and deep reds
AussieScum (7:48:39 PM): You see the albino here with a rust colored object
in his hand.
AussieScum (7:48:49 PM): On either side of him, you see one of these: AussieScum (7:49:22 PM): (( Come on Vic, what are
they? ))
WotA Daere (7:49:35 PM): ((eeep!))
WotA Jarek (7:49:54 PM): (( Sandstone. one of

AussieScum (7:50:00 PM): ( Whee! )
AussieScum (7:50:17 PM): (( I remember my first
dwarf deck had Sandstones in it. But I digress ))
AussieScum (7:50:31 PM): The albino says simply "Destroy them"
AussieScum (7:50:38 PM): And the rock creatures lumber toward you

albino
WotA
Eirlys (7:53:25 PM): ((:-) Hot

WotA Jarek (7:54:11 PM): is borka in A4? or Tunnel 1? ((so I'm in either Tunnel 2 or tunnel 2,

AussieScum (7:54:19 PM): Call her in A4

so it's no biggie
WotA Axton (7:56:13 PM): i only c 1 tunnel
AussieScum (7:56:32 PM): Tunnel 1 = first square in tunnel. Tunnel 2 = 2nd
square in tunnel etc.
AussieScum (7:56:44 PM): Work out what you're doing, I need a quick bio
then we can wrap this puppy up :-)
WotA Axton (7:57:31 PM): thought boka was in c4 and i was in b4
WotA Dethel (7:58:28 PM): So, what are we doing??
WotA Eirlys (7:58:39 PM): Looks like Borka in A4,

Jarek.
WotA Eirlys (7:58:45 PM): the rest behind me.
WotA Axton (7:58:47 PM): making sandstone in to a pile of sand
WotA Daere (7:58:51 PM): My big plan is to stay
back here in the tunnel and stand by to disrupt casting.
WotA Jarek (7:59:09 PM): I just wonder if taking down the throg will
free the gargoyle's minds.
WotA Jarek (7:59:17 PM): Barrin didn't say so...
WotA Eirlys (7:59:18 PM): planning to get to the
other side of Noggie and hope for the chance to sneak attack :-)
WotA Kano (7:59:28 PM): ((Just don't disrupt mine, Hips. ;-) ))
WotA Daere (7:59:47 PM): ((Then don't blunder
into my line of fire. :-P))
WotA Jarek (7:59:54 PM): I'll take the gargoyles, axton. you and that nice wooden weapon of yours can take the mage.
WotA Dethel (8:00:13 PM): I'll move in, find a corner, and focus on the
big G

WotA Kano (8:26:07 PM): ((for 3 points))
WotA Kano (8:26:17 PM): ::The one in d3::
WotA Kano (8:26:26 PM): ((the one he was flanking with Jarek::
AussieScum (8:26:30 PM): That's the standing one
AussieScum (8:26:35 PM): Me
AussieScum (8:26:38 PM): Pound
WotA Kano (8:26:39 PM): ::SF then goes back home with
a *pop*:: WotA Jarek (8:26:49 PM): "<The Stone holds the Strength of
Sjonegaard>" (( forgot to do that sooner
after Garkarl fell )) AussieScum (8:26:57 PM): Ooooh
AussieScum (8:27:10 PM): They stop attacking
AussieScum (8:27:31 PM): OK, on Grak is a key, that will open your chest.
WotA
Eirlys (8:27:48 PM): Oooh!
WotA Jarek (8:27:50 PM): nice AussieScum (8:27:54 PM): Before I go doing loot from the assorted carcasses ....
WotA Kano (8:28:01 PM): "All you guys all right?"
AussieScum (8:28:15 PM): What are you doing with the little stone now.
Start yakking about all that, gotta do turn a light off that my son can't reach
WotA Jarek (8:28:16 PM): "These things don't hit very hard."
WotA Axton (8:29:31 PM): make sure the red-head is still here
WotA Daere (8:29:31 PM): ::look at Barrin::
"Right. So. What do we do with the rock thingie
now?"
WotA Dethel (8:29:37 PM): "I'm not complaining..."
WotA Jarek (8:29:41 PM): "Barrin, what are the consequences of
removing the Stone from this place?"
WotA Dethel (8:29:46 PM): "The Stone?"
WotA Axton (8:30:09 PM): this one probably
WotA Dethel (8:30:12 PM): "Why don't we keep it?"
WotA Eirlys (8:30:26 PM): "Keep it? Why?"
WotA Kano (8:30:32 PM): "Look at what it did to all the rocks around here. I'm not
sure that we'd *want* it."
WotA Axton (8:30:33 PM): fine by me, but i dont want it
WotA Eirlys (8:30:34 PM): "Why not leave it
with Barrin?"
WotA Jarek (8:30:47 PM): (( Crystal == Stone :)
))
AussieScum (8:30:48 PM): "More than likely we should leave it here
until I can send in help to secure the place. The guardians should suffice to
keep it safe"
WotA Axton (8:31:09 PM): like they did earlyier
WotA Dethel (8:31:15 PM): "Are you sure?"
WotA Eirlys (8:31:28 PM): "He had the password
... so he could get by."
AussieScum (8:31:30 PM): "Not 100% sure, but I have a feeling that we
won't be permitted to remove it"
WotA Kano (8:31:34 PM): "The Nothrog knew the password."
WotA Jarek (8:31:47 PM): "These gargoyles are pushovers. Inadequate defense, Barrin."
WotA Axton (8:31:53 PM): so did we
WotA Axton (8:31:58 PM): but they attacked us
WotA Dethel (8:32:05 PM): "What would stop us?"
AussieScum (8:32:26 PM): "I had forgotten that he who has the password
has control. So since Garkar'l used it to pass them, he had control until his
death"
WotA
Eirlys (8:32:29 PM): "Why do you want it,
Dethel?"
WotA Axton (8:32:54 PM): but they still attacked after he died
WotA Daere (8:33:02 PM): "Pffft. Elves use
bone, not steel. You do the math."
WotA Kano (8:33:14 PM): "Right until Jarek said the magic word, Green Mountain."
WotA Jarek (8:33:15 PM): "Following last command, Axton. I
probably have control right now."
WotA Eirlys (8:33:28 PM): "Good point,
Daere."
WotA Axton (8:33:33 PM): ah
WotA Eirlys (8:33:37 PM): "Well, it's not
something *I* want to travel with."
WotA Jarek (8:33:45 PM): "I concur."
WotA Axton (8:33:50 PM): me neither
WotA Kano (8:33:51 PM): "It's a dwarf thing, I'd let the dwarf decide."
WotA Axton (8:33:56 PM): lets just leave it
here
WotA Jarek (8:34:26 PM): "I don't imagine the ambassador would
appreciate us removing it, either."
WotA Dethel (8:34:40 PM): "I just figured we could use it to
further our goals"
AussieScum (8:34:41 PM): Kano, you note a light glow coming from your
pocket.....
WotA Kano (8:34:47 PM): "Ooooh!"
WotA Kano (8:34:50 PM): ::pull it out::
AussieScum (8:34:58 PM): The stone that you recently were given?
AussieScum (8:35:00 PM): It's glowing
WotA Kano (8:35:02 PM): ((Yup))
WotA Kano (8:35:14 PM): ((Now, if only I could remember what that glow was supposed to
signify...))
AussieScum (8:35:19 PM): A white light appears above your hand and peels
back to reveal a stone cavern
WotA Dethel (8:35:31 PM): "If it the Dwarves, I'm fine with leaving
it here"
WotA Kano (8:35:50 PM): "Hey...guys...look at this..."
AussieScum (8:35:52 PM): Dim light reflects off a thousand stalgmites and
stalactites and then so slowly at first that you are not sure you see it at
all, the stones move away
WotA Axton (8:35:56 PM): look
AussieScum (8:36:10 PM): The earth itself parts before you to take in the
light..... then the vision ends
WotA Jarek (8:36:12 PM): "Fair point, Dethel. But it obviously
eats thru anything and everything around it. It could be dangerous even to
us."
WotA Axton (8:36:48 PM): what was that??
WotA Kano (8:36:52 PM): "Hmmm...what the heck was that supposed
to mean?"
WotA Kano (8:37:01 PM): "The earth eating up the light???"
WotA Jarek (8:37:04 PM): :: whistle ::
"Barrin, was that a gargoyle Army?"
WotA Daere (8:37:16 PM): "A what,
now?"
AussieScum (8:37:34 PM): "I think that may have been a message from
Shonegaard himself"
AussieScum (8:37:49 PM): "Perhaps, one day when you need to find your
way to the World Below, he will open the way for you"
WotA Kano (8:37:59 PM): "Oh. Um, OK."
AussieScum (8:38:10 PM): (( Meaning, had you
failed here, there's a couple of adventure paths closed to you. :-)))
WotA Axton (8:38:14 PM): that may be nice....... someday
WotA Kano (8:38:20 PM): "I guess I'm not good at interpreting portents yet."
AussieScum (8:38:44 PM): (( OK approaching wrap
time.... decision on the stone? ))
WotA Daere (8:38:44 PM): ::grimaces in distaste::
"Ugh, no thanks. This is more than World Below enough for me..."
WotA Axton (8:38:54 PM): leave it here
WotA Kano (8:38:57 PM): ((Sounds like we leave it here? And lock up behind us?))
WotA Daere (8:38:58 PM): ((I say do what the
dwarf wants. Leave it.))
WotA Jarek (8:39:18 PM): (( sounds like that's
the plan ))
WotA Dethel (8:39:21 PM): "Let it stay here"
AussieScum (8:39:24 PM): OK, assume you're stripping your red headed
prisoner of her goodies before handing her and the rest of your prisoners over
to the Andoverans?
WotA Kano (8:39:31 PM): ((You betcha.))
WotA Eirlys (8:39:40 PM): ((yup))
AussieScum (8:39:44 PM): OK, time for the phat lewts
WotA Kano (8:39:47 PM): ((And opening up the chest with the key))
AussieScum (8:39:51 PM): XP for this little jaunt:
WotA Axton (8:39:53 PM): ((oh i wanted her as a bed warmer for one
night))
AussieScum (8:39:54 PM): 2000 for the adventure
AussieScum (8:40:01 PM): +100 for helping Sirinus
AussieScum (8:40:06 PM): +200 for saving Barrin
WotA Kano (8:40:07 PM): (Woot!)
AussieScum (8:40:28 PM): We're starting to see a little XP buffer, should
you guys want to take up crafting goodies one day ;-)
WotA Axton (8:40:32 PM): it means we leveled again>>>
AussieScum (8:40:33 PM): Level up before December :-)
WotA Kano (8:40:34 PM): ((Nice))
WotA Jarek (8:40:35 PM): (( that's wrong in so many ways, curtis. cruel
and unusual, certainly. plus, her screams will keep us all up. ))
WotA Daere (8:40:35 PM): ((Ooh, that's a level,
right?))
WotA Kano (8:40:45 PM): ((It be a level. We be at 3300))
AussieScum (8:40:56 PM): You'll pretty much level after each adventure.
WotA Axton (8:41:03 PM): i am NE afer all
WotA Eirlys (8:41:09 PM): ((dunno - look who she
works with. She might actually *like* Throgs))
AussieScum (8:41:13 PM): About 22 playable adventures. You need to be level
20 by the last one to take on the Medusans after all.
WotA Daere (8:41:15 PM): Sweet. :) Another
scout level for me, methinks... when in December are we playing?
AussieScum (8:41:29 PM): In the chest:

WotA Axton (8:42:21 PM): she had shorts
WotA Kano (8:42:31 PM): ((And Axton wants to get in 'em.))
WotA Axton (8:42:41 PM): :-P
WotA Daere (8:42:50 PM): ((I'd take both the
shirt and the sword, if no one objects... Axton can do whatever he likes with
the shorts. :) ))
AussieScum (8:42:59 PM): um, Shirt ;-)
AussieScum (8:43:18 PM): She also has 20 bolts and a potion of Cure

change.
WotA
Eirlys (8:44:20 PM): (Agreed on the OooH! :-) )
AussieScum (8:44:31 PM): The ring is how the wall appeared when the
throggie made a run for it.
WotA Axton (8:44:32 PM): i guess money or gems would be nice
WotA Kano (8:44:51 PM): ((Anything on the Nimbic that Scratch blew up?))
AussieScum (8:45:07 PM): Oh, leather armor and a sling
WotA Kano (8:45:16 PM): (wuss)
AussieScum (8:45:17 PM): The Andoverans are of course thrilled at the haul

AussieScum (8:45:28 PM): All these prisoners, proof of bandits etc.
AussieScum (8:45:43 PM): K'evan of the Green is excited to see Barrin and
pays you the 1000 gp in gems he promised.

bracers))
WotA Dethel (8:46:17 PM): fine by me
WotA Daere (8:46:25 PM): ((yup yup))
AussieScum (8:46:29 PM): I believe that's a wrap. Next time, I believe you
had a lead that points you towards Deverenia, following the information
extracted from the elf prisoner.....
WotA Daere (8:46:53 PM): Sweet.
WotA Eirlys (8:46:58 PM): (I'll work on selling the
items and getting a money summary out later)

WotA Eirlys (8:47:08 PM): Anyone want the Boots?
WotA Axton (8:47:18 PM): cant use them

WotA Dethel (8:47:23 PM): not I
WotA Kano (8:47:33 PM): ((I love Boots of the Winterlands, but I'm not going to be greedy))
WotA Daere (8:47:33 PM): ((Danke, MR... I have
a MW battleaxe you can sell off, now, if I've got a magic sword instead. :) ))
AussieScum (8:47:39 PM): Oh for the next time.... can we try for the Tu/Th
again. While Wendy's working her current 80 hour weeks, I have to play Dad's
Taxi ot gymnastics and Church on Wednesdays. I just
can't be home before 11 ET.
WotA
Eirlys (8:47:52 PM): Winterlands is cold
protection, no?
AussieScum (8:47:55 PM): Tuesday and Thursdays are my only night's where
I'm home by 9:30 apart from weekends.

WotA Eirlys (8:48:12 PM): ((Will make the battleaxe
as sell))
WotA Daere (8:48:14 PM): T/R is fine with me.

WotA Jarek (8:48:59 PM): np here
WotA Kano (8:49:08 PM): fine by me
WotA Daere (8:49:34 PM): Cool. If somebody a
little more familiar with the terrain between wherever the hell we are and
Deverenia would like to get some IC posting rolling (hint, hint), that'd be
great. :)
WotA Eirlys (8:49:51 PM): Good idea
WotA Kano (8:49:59 PM): Sounds cool to me.
WotA Jarek (8:50:05 PM): forests. then foothills.

WotA Dethel (8:50:27 PM): Thanks gang!
WotA Kano (8:50:29 PM): I'm pooped, so I'm gonna log off. Talk to you all soon
AussieScum (8:50:34 PM): If someone with the source material wants to post
that, go ahead.
WotA Daere (8:50:35 PM): As always, it was a
good time, and well worth the late night. :) See you guys soon!
WotA Jarek (8:51:13 PM): Steve - Safe to assume we backtracked to the
Keep to meet up with Kevan? So we launch out from there?
AussieScum (8:51:25 PM): Yes, sorry, fast forwarded that bit
WotA Dethel (8:51:46 PM): Steve what the rule re: mighty bows?
AussieScum (8:52:06 PM): I see no problem with mighty bows

to sell you one
