A slime approaches, Command?

OOC: COntinuing from last session

Aug 31 19:36:25 <Mari>   "Everybody okay?"
Aug 31 19:36:52 <Kotono>   Yulia flies down, "Hey listen, is everyone okay? Does anyone need healing?"
Aug 31 19:37:02 *   Adail nods, "I'm fine, yes. One of the advantages to being this light, I suppose. I land easily."
Aug 31 19:37:26 *   Nikkolai crawls out of the snow, shivering and gasping as the cold ran in rivulets down his back. "I'm fine, though I think we all desperately could use some healing. That worm packed a nasty punch."
Aug 31 19:37:39 <Kamvakua>   "I'm a bit chilled, but mostly alright," Kamvakua nodded, looking over the more injured ones first.
Aug 31 19:38:29 <Kamvakua>   roll 1d8+4 Casting CLW on Nikkolai
Aug 31 19:38:31 <Hatbot>   
ACTION --> "Kamvakua rolls 1d8+4 Casting CLW on Nikkolai and gets 7." [1d8=3]
Aug 31 19:38:35 <Kotono>   Yulia flies over to Nikkolai, touching him as the bracelet from Adail glows bright!
Aug 31 19:38:43 <Kotono>   roll 1d8*1.5
Aug 31 19:38:44 <Hatbot>   
ACTION --> "Kotono rolls 1d8*1.5 and gets 9." [1d8=6]
Aug 31 19:38:48 <Adail>   "Use Vigor, Yulia. We're in no immediate danger, I think." Adail reminds her.
Aug 31 19:38:50 <Kotono>   roll 9+3 total healing.
Aug 31 19:38:51 <Hatbot>   
ACTION --> "Kotono rolls 9+3 total healing. and gets 12."
Aug 31 19:38:57 <Mari>   "Ugh...I feel like I've got frostbite all over my body, but I'm alive."
Aug 31 19:40:29 <Kotono>   "Who else?" Yulia looks around, "I can cast Lesser Vigor on someone, and you can watch your pain go away! Mari? Knight?"
Aug 31 19:41:09 *   Adail scouts a bit ahead of the others, getting a good look around while Yulia heals the others. (OOC: might go about 60-70ft away from the party to look about at most)
Aug 31 19:41:27 <Mari>   "If you've got any left, I could use some help, Yulia."
Aug 31 19:41:57 <Kotono>   Yulia comes over, invoking Lesser Vigor on Mari! OOC: 12+3 HP back over a minute and a third or so. 15 HP total.
Aug 31 19:42:25 <Kotono>   OOC: Will you go down any of the passages or just look, Adail?
Aug 31 19:43:02 <Adail>   OOC: He'll go a bit down the passages, but not far enough that he couldn't still see the entrance(so 60ft at max due to his darkvision I suppose?)
Aug 31 19:43:27 <Kamvakua>   OOC: I'm glad to take any healing after Mari and Nikkolai are near full
Aug 31 19:44:26 <Kamvakua>   Knight nodded as well to any available healing.
Aug 31 19:44:38 <Kotono>   The various tunnels look to be large burrow holes going in every direction. They wind about. One of them leads down a turn, a faint blue light glowing past the turn and spilling over.
Aug 31 19:44:53 <Kotono>   Knight gets the same Vigor treatment as Mari! OOC: +15 HP.
Aug 31 19:45:36 *   Adail doesn't take the turn just yet, instead going back to his companions to report, "Hmm, there's a light down one of the tunnels. I didn't duck around to see what it was, just in case it was hostile, but I suppose that gives us an obvious direction?"
Aug 31 19:47:01 <Kotono>   "I have one more spell," Yulia announces, "Should I use it or hold onto it for later?" OOC: Also +3 HP to Nikkolai, forgot the +3 from her healing bonus feat.
Aug 31 19:47:10 <Mari>   "Uh, I guess. I don't know if we want to blundering down strange tunnels when we came here looking for something on the surface. I...suppose we could see what it is." Mari walks over in Adail's direction. "But if it's more worms, I'm running and leaving you behind. Nothing personal."
Aug 31 19:48:00 <Kotono>   "How does a worm even get that big?!" Yulia blurts out, "Worms are tiny and taste good with greengrass and robin egg shell stew!"
Aug 31 19:48:17 <Mari>   "What? Ew!"
Aug 31 19:48:23 *   Adail snorts, "That's fine, I think that worm did it's worst up there and I didn't even get bruised until the fall."
Aug 31 19:48:34 <Kotono>   "Ew?" Yulia flutters over to Mari, landing atop her head. "It's a delicacy in Arborea!"
Aug 31 19:49:18 <Nikkolai>   "Much like snails are a delicacy in some places." Nikkolai comments absently, trying to shake the excess snow off of his robes.
Aug 31 19:49:30 <Mari>   "Yeah? Well, I'm used to worms being what, like, birds and stuff eat. Not people." Mari starts off down the tunnel towards the blue light. Well, assuming Adail's with her.
Aug 31 19:50:13 *   Gatewalker (~strikerul@c-67-188-204-136.hsd1.ca.comcast.net) has joined #dunes
Aug 31 19:50:37 *   Nikkolai shrugs, following the others, if they are indeed leaving. "You'd be surprised what people will eat when they're hungry."
Aug 31 19:50:46 <Kamvakua>   OOC: Give the last heal to Knight.
Aug 31 19:51:38 <Kotono>   Knight gets another Lesser Vigor for her troubles, wounds amending.
Aug 31 19:51:44 <Kotono>   OOC: +15 HP to Knight.
Aug 31 19:51:46 *   Gatewalker is now known as Adail
Aug 31 19:52:11 <Kamvakua>   "Different races have different eating habits.  We should explore the cavern though.  It could have things that earlier victims of the worm dropped, which could be helpful.  Or at least it is a route outside the snow above.  We can always retrace our steps if not."
Aug 31 19:52:20 *   Adail does indeed go along with Mari, adding, "Well I don't exactly see a way back up, so."
Aug 31 19:53:07 <Kotono>   The party proceeds on down the tunnel and past the turn. Eighty feet ahead lies a stone archway, carved with symbols all over. What the symbols are you can't tell from this distance. The archway does not glow. What is past does.  A ways past is what looks to be the bank of a river. A river of pure flowing, icy blue Coldfire.
Aug 31 19:53:38 *   Adail lets out a low whistle.
Aug 31 19:53:52 *   Nikkolai raises an eyebrow. "Oh, that nasty stuff again. Think it's a good time to go swimming?"
Aug 31 19:53:56 *   Kamvakua heads along the front of the group, interested in the archway as he continued toward it.  It was quite the site with a river behind it.
Aug 31 19:54:07 <Kamvakua>   "Perhaps for you, I think I'll avoid it myself."
Aug 31 19:54:18 <Mari>   "Sure, Nik. You first." Mari approaches the archway to see if she can read the runes around it.
Aug 31 19:58:12 <Kotono>   The runes are written in slightly twisted but readable dwarven, sprinkled with a bit of Auran. Mari can read a few scraps, while Kamvakua can read all of it as follows: "Cursed Brandabar's Vein." reads the first part of the symbols. Thes econd part reads, "Beware the Coldfire ghosts!" The last reads, "Ahead is so cold that words, thoughts and ideas can freeze. A will can materialize them, but a weak one invites lamentation."
Aug 31 19:58:46 *   Adail eyes Nik as he walks along, "Man, you took the brunt of that up there, didn't you? Hold still a moment." And he casts a small cure spell to augment what Yulia had done.
Aug 31 19:58:52 <Adail>   roll 1d8+4 CLW
Aug 31 19:58:53 <Hatbot>   
ACTION --> "Adail rolls 1d8+4 CLW and gets 9." [1d8=5]
Aug 31 19:59:54 <Adail>   "Brandabar?" Adail mused on the name a bit, seeing if it's one that sounded familiar to him at all..
Aug 31 20:00:11 *   Mari frowns, scratches her head. "Something about...ghosts? Curses?"
Aug 31 20:00:22 <Kotono>   OOC: Make an K:P check if you're curious about Brandabar?
Aug 31 20:00:37 *   Nikkolai frowns. "What? Who? What's it say?"
Aug 31 20:00:44 <Adail>   OOC: Take 10 for 20.
Aug 31 20:00:49 <Kamvakua>   "This is a cursed passage.  A mining passage most likely, from dwarves of long ago.  Haunted.  We'll have to be very careful if we go this way," Kamvakua explained, not reading it literally unless someone asked.  "If you are letting your mind wander, your thoughts can turn into specters."
Aug 31 20:00:51 <Mari>   roll 1d20+13 I assume I can roll since Adail mentioned the name?
Aug 31 20:00:52 <Hatbot>   
ACTION --> "Mari rolls 1d20+13 I assume I can roll since Adail mentioned the name? and gets 32." [1d20=19]
Aug 31 20:03:10 <Mari>   "Oh, great. So everyone empty your head before we go in? I don't think would even work--the moment you tell someone not to think of anything awful, what's the first thing they're gonna do?"
Aug 31 20:04:38 <Adail>   "Think of marsh mallows, obviously," Adail quipped, randomly picking one of the least threatening possible things he could imagine.
Aug 31 20:04:43 *   Mari searches her memory for a moment. "Brandabar? He was this dwarven conqueror. I think I heard something like he went to the source of all cold or something to make a kingdom out of his thoughts. Or something like that."
Aug 31 20:04:44 <Kamvakua>   "It may be better simply to concentrate on getting through." Kamvakua mused.  "Prevent distraction and keep our defenses ready."
Aug 31 20:05:26 *   Nikkolai muses silently, a small grin on his face. "Or...perhaps a bridge for us to cross?"
Aug 31 20:06:06 <Kotono>   OOC: EAch of you PM me what you're thinking of as you go past the arch and to the river-banks.
Aug 31 20:06:35 <Kamvakua>   "That's the better question," Kamvakua looked over the riverbank beforehand, trying to surmise a route that was safe from the dangerous coldfire.
Aug 31 20:08:42 <Kamvakua>   OOC: Survival or anything for routes across?  If not I'll start going with other solutions :)
Aug 31 20:09:23 *   Mari crosses through the arch and takes a look around the riverbank.
Aug 31 20:11:35 <Kotono>   Kamvakua can see no immediately safe route - unless you feel like jumping over a 15ft wide river of Coldfire. It goes farther than you can see in either direction. It's bitterly, bitterly cold here to all of you. So cold it sucks your breath away, each time you breathing like sucking in little globs of ice into your body. OOC: Make a will save, Mari and Nik?
Aug 31 20:11:56 <Mari>   roll 1d20+8 will my improved wisdom mod save me?
Aug 31 20:11:56 <Hatbot>

Aug 31 20:12:00 <Hatbot>   
ACTION --> "Nikkolai rolls 1d20+14 Here we go, lads! and gets 18." [1d20=4]
Aug 31 20:12:02 <Kotono>   OOC: If you wanna go searchin' for some safe way over feel free to roll survival but it'll take you a few, Kam.
Aug 31 20:13:47 <Kotono>   From the river of ice a bridge of pure ice appears, arching over the coldfire! Sitting in the middle is a radiant solar of pure frozen ice and coldfire. Calariel in ice relief stands there in her utter glory.
Aug 31 20:14:33 <Kamvakua>   "Please wait a moment.  I will see if I can...find another way through," Kamvakua eyed the apparation in surprise, and a bit of distrust, looking over it carefully
Aug 31 20:14:46 <Mari>   "Oh, hey, a bridge! Way to go, whoever thought of that. And, uh...Nik, try to focus here!"
Aug 31 20:15:21 *   Nikkolai smiles, a slightly dreamy look coming across his face, and he strides forward to set foot upon the bridge. "Oh, come now. It's just an apparition. Besides, we have a way to cross now."
Aug 31 20:15:35 *   Adail silently moves forward and tests the bridge gently with a paw, making sure it is both solid and made only of normal ice, not coldfire.(OOC: Yes, he's touching it with a bare paw. Cold Res 10)
Aug 31 20:15:37 <Kamvakua>   "Let us cross quickly, while it is still there.  I will lead," Kamvakua offered, heading across to test that the bridge does not collapse under them.
Aug 31 20:16:07 <Kotono>   "Nikkolai," Calariel-of-ice says in a chilling timbre, your soul and groin both freezing solid at her words. "Why have you come here, unworthy one? Why do you think of me so when you have no right to? You are utterly beneath me!"
Aug 31 20:16:15 *   Mari strides after Kam (assuming the bridge supports his weight).
Aug 31 20:16:18 <Kotono>   Adail touches the bridge. It's very cold but not painful.
Aug 31 20:16:29 <Kotono>   The brige looks solid enough, though the ice angel stnading in tehw ay is a bit of a concern.
Aug 31 20:16:58 *   Nikkolai stops in mid-stride, paling rapidly. "Calariel? Beloved?" He says uncertainly, forgetting for a moment that she was merely a product of his thoughts.
Aug 31 20:17:00 *   Kamvakua rushes it at that line, trusting his instincts as he tried to trip it to the ground and smash the statue, or so he was telling himself it was.
Aug 31 20:17:30 <Kotono>   OOC: Okay, roll init then since Kam's starting some hostilities by attacking.
Aug 31 20:17:36 <Mari>   "It's just a, you know, a thing. It's not really real. I--oh, hells."

Aug 31 20:20:54 <Kotono>   OOC: Open Nik.
Aug 31 20:22:04 *   Nikkolai shakes his head slightly, eyes narrowing and face hardening. This was *not* his Calariel. Only a pale shade. Throwing a hand up, he sent two thin streams of flame whooshing toward the ice statue!
Aug 31 20:22:09 <Nikkolai>   roll 1d20+9 TA1

Aug 31 20:28:05 <Kotono>   Mari strikes out, but the edge of her blade nicks off the slippery ice of Calariel! Her gaze turns to Kamvakua, "Who are you to interfere?" She demands, her words frosting out of her mouth! Each letter in Auran can be seen, turning to a storm of ice-knives that lunge at Kamvakua! "Unworthy brute!"

Adail states flatly to the ice angel, "you have no right to judge where the real Calariel has seen worth." then he encourages his freind, "Nikkolai, focus. Do not doubt yourself, for that only gives her more strength." As he speaks he does not attack, but ducks under and around the angel, getting behind her and setting up a flank for his allies if they choose to attack.(OOC: tumble~)

Aug 31 20:41:50 *   Nikkolai sighs, shoulders slumping slightly. "That was...unpleasant. Even it was a shadow of a thought."
Aug 31 20:41:58 *   Mari hustles over to the other side, drawing in a deep, frigid breath afterwards as she glances back.
Aug 31 20:42:11 <Kotono>   The party hurries across the bridge, reaching the other side quickly! OOC: Pause right that second, each of you PM me what your character is thinking about right that moment asy ou cross.
Aug 31 20:42:24 <Mari>   "Focus, Nik! Come on, doon't bring us down here."
Aug 31 20:44:30 <Kamvakua>   "Is everyone alright?" Kamvakua kept his eyes more on the bridge as he waited for them all to get across.
Aug 31 20:45:36 <Kotono>   OOC: Will, all.
Aug 31 20:45:57 <Mari>   roll 1d20+8 focus, Mari!
Aug 31 20:45:58 <Hatbot>   
ACTION --> "Mari rolls 1d20+8 focus, Mari! and gets 23." [1d20=15]
Aug 31 20:46:05 <Nikkolai>   roll 1d20+14
Aug 31 20:46:06 <Hatbot>   
ACTION --> "Nikkolai rolls 1d20+14 and gets 22." [1d20=8]
Aug 31 20:46:46 <Adail>   roll 1d20+17 will
Aug 31 20:46:46 <Hatbot>   
ACTION --> "Adail rolls 1d20+17 will and gets 27." [1d20=10]
Aug 31 20:47:02 <Kamvakua>   roll 1d20+10
Aug 31 20:47:03 <Hatbot>   
ACTION --> "Kamvakua rolls 1d20+10 and gets 12." [1d20=2]
Aug 31 20:48:20 <Kotono>   The bridge is strong, ceasing it's buckling. It grows wider and bigger, spanning the coldfire river! Around Mari they appear - four Nikkolais. Each one is bare-chested and strapping, muscular and ruggedly handsome. They carry a litter, kneeling before Mari. "Ride, Princess," they speak as one. "We shall fulfill your every desire, unworthy of your love as we are."
Aug 31 20:49:07 *   Adail only avoids snickering because the mantra he is repeating in his mind leaves room for nothing else.
Aug 31 20:49:22 *   Mari climbs onboard, looks around at her companions. "Well, this place isn't so bad after all."
Aug 31 20:49:26 <Kotono>   "..." Yulia just stares, eyeing Mari, then Nikkolai, "Poor Mari.." she murmurs, glancing back at where the remnants of Calariel are. "So that's why she attacked so fiercely..."
Aug 31 20:49:37 <Nikkolai>   "..." Nikkolai is flabbergasted. "I--whu--FLGRBH!?"
Aug 31 20:50:46 <Mari>   "What? What are you talking about, Yulia? Anyway, let's keep moving." All smiles, Mari reaches down and pats one of the men on the shoulder. "Stand. March."
Aug 31 20:50:58 <Kotono>   On the other side of the bridge are a few tunnel-passages, leading deeper in. One leads to what looks to be another stone archway, about 100 feet ahead.
Aug 31 20:51:23 <Kotono>   The four Nikkolais rise and carry Mari on the litter, "Thank you for this honor!" They intone as one, "WE are not worthy of the purity of your love."
Aug 31 20:52:06 *   Nikkolai is shell-shocked, looking to Yulia and Adail for guidance and rescue, even as he shuffles along after the...other hims.
Aug 31 20:52:14 *   Kamvakua resists snark as he headed on, the dwarvish words encouraging caution as he kept his mind ahead, and his eyes occassionally back at the princess.
Aug 31 20:52:52 *   Adail is stone cold focused, not bothered by the other Niks as they seem to be harmless, and advances towards the archway.
Aug 31 20:53:14 <Kotono>   You advance to the archway! This one isn't covered in any writing, but it's solid and able to be passed through if you wish.
Aug 31 20:53:36 <Mari>   "Onwards, men!" Mari points through the arch.
Aug 31 20:53:39 <Kamvakua>   "One at a time, just in case...Adail, is there anything amiss here?" Kamvakua asked.
Aug 31 20:54:05 *   Adail casts around with his mystical senses for magic, evil and the invisible!
Aug 31 20:54:11 <Kotono>   Mari's beefcake special marches on through! They pass through the archway...and cease to be, gone like a fond memory! Mari promptly lands butt first on the ground with a meaty thump! OOC: 1 damage.
Aug 31 20:54:52 *   Kamvakua steps through at that, helping Mari to her feet. "Well, that at least settles what that archway was for.  We must be at the other end."
Aug 31 20:55:06 *   Nikkolai laughs out loud. "Well, those other Nikkolai's had enough sense to dump your ass."
Aug 31 20:55:20 *   Adail turns back to the bridge he reinforced, and bows, "Thank you. Be at ease again."
Aug 31 20:55:32 <Mari>   *Whump* "Ow!" Mari gets up, rubs her behind in quite unladylike fashion. "It was nice while it lasted, I guess...HEY. You wish you looked half as nice as the fake ones did, Nik."
Aug 31 20:55:42 <Adail>   Then he continues on through the archway.
Aug 31 20:56:03 <Kotono>   "Hey, Master's cute," Yulia says, going to land on Nikkolai's head.
Aug 31 20:56:26 *   Nikkolai grumbles as he passes the archway himself. "At least *someone* other than Calariel thinks so."
Aug 31 20:56:49 <Mari>   "*Cute* isn't the same thing as *dreamy*. I mean, maybe if he'd get some more exercise..." Mari follows Adail onwards.
Aug 31 20:57:10 *   Kamvakua eyes the sorcerer, wondering why he would at all be...unconfident about his looks.  He shrugged, humans could be strange sometimes as they walked along.
Aug 31 20:57:50 *   Nikkolai muses, "Well, I suppose I didn't look *too* bad like that."
Aug 31 20:58:18 <Kotono>   After about 500 feet of walking you come to a short, five step descend. At the bottom of this little alcove is an ironshod door, coated completely in ice. A gargoyles head takes up much of the front, frozen over as well.
Aug 31 20:59:35 *   Mari walks up, raps on the door experimentally.
Aug 31 20:59:53 <Kotono>   No response.
Aug 31 21:00:37 <Nikkolai>   "Perhaps I should melt the ice off?" Nikkolai looks aside at Adai, waiting to be told that there isn't a flaming *dragon* or something around the door.
Aug 31 21:00:41 *   Adail eyes the door with his array of mystical senses~
Aug 31 21:00:54 <Kamvakua>   "We can probably melt the ice," Kamvakua looked over it, trying to figure out if it looked like he could just yank it open from brute strength.
Aug 31 21:01:05 <Kotono>   Kam thinks he could certainly try.
Aug 31 21:01:17 <Adail>   "The gargoyle head is magical," Adail notes, "and that's all I can tell about this door."
Aug 31 21:02:09 <Mari>   "Is it? It looks kinda important, yeah. Kam, see if you can shove this thing open before we go setting it ablaze?"
Aug 31 21:02:22 <Nikkolai>   "Perhaps we need to play a riddle game to pass through." Nikkolai notes dryly. "The way our luck runs, that will indeed be the case."
Aug 31 21:02:43 <Kamvakua>   "Alright, pull back," Kamvakua waited for the others to do so.  "I'll try and yank it open."
Aug 31 21:02:55 *   Mari steps clear of the alcove.
Aug 31 21:03:39 <Kotono>   Yulia and Knight get well back!
Aug 31 21:03:43 <Kotono>   So does Serith for that matter!
Aug 31 21:03:43 *   Nikkolai nods silently and steps back with Mari.
Aug 31 21:04:05 *   Adail stands there with Kam, afraid of nothing.
Aug 31 21:04:07 *   Kamvakua moves close, trying to line up a grip so that his body wasn't directly in front of the gargoyle in case it decided to spit an ice spear or something at him, grabbing firmly and yanking with all his strength.
Aug 31 21:04:12 <Kotono>   OOC: Str check.
Aug 31 21:04:18 <Kamvakua>   roll 1d20+6
Aug 31 21:04:20 <Hatbot>   
ACTION --> "Kamvakua rolls 1d20+6 and gets 16." [1d20=10]
Aug 31 21:04:42 <Kotono>   Kamvakua budges the door slightly, but it's not giving way to that sort of tug.
Aug 31 21:05:32 <Adail>   "I half wonder if the head doesn't speak..." Adail muses, "I could try to use my gloves to melt the ice over it without using any of Nik's magic? If I can get them to work down here..."
Aug 31 21:05:34 <Kamvakua>   roll 1d20+6 try 2
Aug 31 21:05:34 <Hatbot>   
ACTION --> "Kamvakua rolls 1d20+6 try 2 and gets 15." [1d20=9]
Aug 31 21:05:37 <Kamvakua>   roll 1d20+6 try 3
Aug 31 21:05:37 <Hatbot>   
ACTION --> "Kamvakua rolls 1d20+6 try 3 and gets 22." [1d20=16]
Aug 31 21:06:17 <Adail>   "Or that." Adail dryly adds as Kam continues yanking at the door.
Aug 31 21:06:57 <Mari>   "It kind of looks like it's supposed to talk, doesn't it?" Mari says. "It must be lonely down here, if so."
Aug 31 21:07:21 <Kotono>   The third try is the charm! The door, ice and gargoyle head are all ripped away! Ahead lies a room...with no ice. It's...not cold in there! You can feel the relative warmth coming off like a balmy spring breeze! It even starts to melt the ice around the edges of the door! There's a door ahead and a door on the right of the room - it's a rough square, with a great big metal orb and connecting
Aug 31 21:07:21 <Kotono>   crystalline wires running into the ground.
Aug 31 21:07:21 <Nikkolai>   "Who wouldn't be lonely in such a dark, cold place?"
Aug 31 21:08:19 *   Adail gives the room the hairy eyeball!(We all know the drill by now~)
Aug 31 21:08:53 *   Mari walks up and peers inside. "Nice and warm in here. Can't say that makes me real happy given what happened last time I was happy to find a warm place on this plane."
Aug 31 21:09:03 *   Nikkolai is immediately drawn inwards, fascinated by the orbs and wires!
Aug 31 21:09:04 <Adail>   "Quite a bit of magic in there," Adail notes, as he walks in.
Aug 31 21:09:18 <Kotono>   OOC: Make an K:A check, Nikkolai?
Aug 31 21:09:38 <Kotono>   Yulia flies in, "Oooh, it's like spring in here!" She says, staying on Nikkolai's head after flutteringa round. "Aaaah!"
Aug 31 21:09:56 *   Kamvakua tosses the door aside, eying a bit confused at the sight behind it, not immediately entering it as he distrusted seeing spring in the middle of winter.
Aug 31 21:10:07 *   Mari walks in, strolls over to the door on the right and gives it a tug. Unlocked?
Aug 31 21:10:15 <Nikkolai>   roll 1d20+17 K:A Hmm....
Aug 31 21:10:16 <Hatbot>   
ACTION --> "Nikkolai rolls 1d20+17 K:A Hmm.... and gets 20." [1d20=3]
Aug 31 21:10:18 <Kotono>   It's unlocked, but it feels stuck. It's not opening easily.
Aug 31 21:11:22 *   Nikkolai reaches out to touch the orb. "I wonder..."
Aug 31 21:11:35 <Kotono>   OOC: If you're trying to manipulate it, spellcraft.
Aug 31 21:11:47 *   Mari shrugs and walks over to the remaining door. "That one over there's stuck," she says. "Kam, want to get in here and put your back into it?" Mari tries the other door instead. "Mm. You know, you forget how nice it is to be warm after a while," she says, realxing despite herself.
Aug 31 21:11:57 <Kotono>   That one feels the same thing - not lucked, but stuck.
Aug 31 21:12:10 <Nikkolai>   roll 1d20+19 Dude, this should be fun
Aug 31 21:12:12 <Hatbot>   
ACTION --> "Nikkolai rolls 1d20+19 Dude, this should be fun and gets 37." [1d20=18]
Aug 31 21:12:26 <Kamvakua>   "Nikkolai, can you tell what kind of magic this is?"
Aug 31 21:12:36 <Kotono>   The room goes warmer, from pleasantly warm to a balmy summer day. OOC: PM, Nik.
Aug 31 21:12:49 <Nikkolai>   "A moment, please." He responds, concentrating on the orb.
Aug 31 21:13:08 <Kotono>   OOC: You think you can control the temperature of the room with this. It's a channel directly to Fire, made to counter Cold's grip in this room. Further, if manipulated properly, it could hurtle the entire room into Fire.
Aug 31 21:13:13 <Kotono>   OOC: Meant to PM that. Dur.
Aug 31 21:13:18 *   Mari kicks the door, shrugs, leans against the nearest wall and rubs the warmth back into her hands.
Aug 31 21:13:19 *   Adail sniffs at the air as it gets warmer, then stretches a bit.
Aug 31 21:14:32 <Kotono>   Serith sniffs, and to Adail, "It's so hot...I've never felt anything like this!"
Aug 31 21:15:10 <Nikkolai>   A little grin flits onto Nikk's face. "Interesting. *Very* interesting. What we have here is a direct portal to Fire. Why it's here in the heart of Cold, I'd like to know."
Aug 31 21:16:05 <Adail>   "This feels like a summer day back in Elysium," Adail explains to Seirith, "and...as a note, if you have no desire to stay here without your pride, you would be welcome there. It's the home of Guardinals, like myself. All of whom can speak the language of animals."
Aug 31 21:16:07 <Kamvakua>   "Then we have the wrong way," Kamvakua returned.  "There's no way the fae queen is on the other side of that gateway."
Aug 31 21:16:22 <Kotono>   Steam begins to tricke into the room from the open door you came from. The ice is starting to melt rapidly, a trickle-drop of thaw-water starting to sound.
Aug 31 21:16:52 <Adail>   "Someone shut the door, or Nik turn the heat back down to spring levels, one of the two," Adail quickly notes.
Aug 31 21:17:22 <Mari>   "Huh? Why? It's kind of nice like this...Although I guess Serith isn't used to it."
Aug 31 21:17:23 *   Nikkolai nods absently...reluctantly. "I suppose not. Let me at least thaw the other doors so that we might see what are behind them."
Aug 31 21:17:57 <Adail>   "This much heat wasn't meant to exist here. Do you want the ice above us melting and floodling the room?"
Aug 31 21:18:17 <Mari>   "Oh. Right."
Aug 31 21:18:54 <Nikkolai>   "I'm quite sure I can concentrate the heat on a single point. Or two of them, at least. Then turn the heat back down." Nikk furrows his brows. "I'll try to, at least."
Aug 31 21:19:06 <Kotono>   OOC: Make spellcraft, +5?
Aug 31 21:19:15 <Kamvakua>   "Do you really think we should carry on here?" Kamvakua was still outside the room, water streaming along his boots.
Aug 31 21:19:39 <Nikkolai>   roll 1d20+24 SC
Aug 31 21:19:40 <Hatbot>   
ACTION --> "Nikkolai rolls 1d20+24 SC and gets 43." [1d20=19]
Aug 31 21:19:48 <Mari>   "Well, break one of these doors down for us and we don't have to hang around!"
Aug 31 21:20:01 <Adail>   "Do you want to go back across the river? We still need to find a way back up to the surface."
Aug 31 21:20:04 <Kotono>   The heat immediately goes down to mellower levels. It stops around the doorway, the meltwater immediately re-frezing.
Aug 31 21:20:38 <Kotono>   "It is curious," Yulia says, "And it is an adventure. We should deal with that Fey, but exploring is fun. Fun or duty?"
Aug 31 21:21:38 <Nikkolai>   "I do want to visit Fire...especially since Balinbomb has mentioned that I have some roots in Fire. Well, insinuated."
Aug 31 21:21:51 <Nikkolai>   "But I suppose our duty must come first."
Aug 31 21:21:51 <Mari>   "Fire's just as nasty as it is up on the surface here, right? Just for different reasons? We shouldn't just hop on over there if we're not ready for it. So hey, this is fun and all, but let's not get carried away with it."
Aug 31 21:22:46 *   Adail nods, "Fire is harsh, yes. And if I recal correctly, has many connections to Baator. We should continue our current quest."
Aug 31 21:23:37 <Kamvakua>   "The planes are more vast than we can imagine," Kamvakua headed in.  "If we lose our path, we will find ourselves ancient before accomplishing anything."
Aug 31 21:23:37 <Mari>   "Baator?" Mari says, sounding more intrigued. "Well...maybe we can use it to get there later or something."
Aug 31 21:24:33 <Kamvakua>   "Which door shall we try?" Kamvakua checked the one Mari hadn't, seeing if it was simply open to a pull.
Aug 31 21:25:30 <Kotono>   Both of the unexplored doors feel stuck. Some force could help, perhaps.
Aug 31 21:26:24 *   Kamvakua heads to the right door where Mari was first investigating, bringing brute strength to bear on the problem of barred passage.
Aug 31 21:26:27 <Kamvakua>   roll 1d20+6
Aug 31 21:26:28 <Hatbot>   
ACTION --> "Kamvakua rolls 1d20+6 and gets 23." [1d20=17]
Aug 31 21:27:53 <Kotono>   The door is ripped off! Ahead you can see a sloping downward path to yet another stone arch. Torches blazing with ghostly blue light shed the way ahead, leading to some sort of room below past the archway, but you can't see from here.
Aug 31 21:29:02 *   Mari steps out into the corridor, reluctantly leaving behind the warmth, and walks down to look at the next archway. Might be expecting too much for them all to be helpfully labeled like the first one, but it doesn't hurt to look, right?
Aug 31 21:29:29 <Kamvakua>   "There might've been a small town here, for the diggers to live in," Kamvakua made a wild guess as he headed down there with Mari.  "They couldn't have just stayed in the tunnels.  But I wonder what happened to them."
Aug 31 21:29:33 *   Adail doesn't like that it leads down, but keeps close to mari anyway.
Aug 31 21:30:46 *   Nikkolai silently follows, taking glances back at the orb as he does so.
Aug 31 21:31:34 <Kotono>   It's not labeled. Ahead is a large room, two doors on the back wall, seperated a fair bit. To the southwestern corner is a large pentagram, steel pivots dotted in the ice around it. Hanging in the air from the ceiling is a chord, right over the middle of the pentagram, about 5 feet off the ground.  To the east is a small table, full of frozen bottles of liquid and such. A little ahead of it
Aug 31 21:31:34 <Kotono>   towards the back of the room is a podium. An ice statue of a wolf stands on it. The two doors in teh back are both iced over.
Aug 31 21:32:36 *   Mari walks over to take a closer look at the statue. All that magic stuff isn't really her style, after all.
Aug 31 21:33:05 <Kotono>   It looks to be a statue of a medium sized wolf. It's good work, carved of pristine ice and very life-like.
Aug 31 21:33:07 *   Adail notes that Mari's first reaction wasn't to go for the bottles and breaths a small sigh of relief, then joins her in looking at the statue.
Aug 31 21:33:25 *   Adail also looks around with the sensory array.
Aug 31 21:33:45 *   Nikkolai walks over to the pentagram, looking over it.
Aug 31 21:33:49 *   Kamvakua looks over the pentagram with detect evil, careful not to step inside the odd symbol, having read more than one story of a demon using it in that book he'd gotten some time ago.
Aug 31 21:34:25 *   Adail eyes the table...then notes, "The pentagram is magic."
Aug 31 21:35:41 *   Nikkolai squats down, looking to see if he can recognize the pentagram, to see if it's connected with a summoning or something else. Perhaps some symbols will be familiar?
Aug 31 21:36:25 <Kotono>   OOC: K:A.
Aug 31 21:37:05 <Nikkolai>   roll 1d20+17 KA
Aug 31 21:37:05 <Hatbot>   
ACTION --> "Nikkolai rolls 1d20+17 KA and gets 18." [1d20=1]
Aug 31 21:37:37 *   Kamvakua checks the bottles, looking to see if they are frozen through or just coated in ice.  OOC: basically  are they solid bricks of ice or have liquid inside.
Aug 31 21:37:55 <Kotono>   They're frozen into solid bricks of ice.
Aug 31 21:38:28 *   Adail wanders over to Kam, and points out which bottles are magical.
Aug 31 21:39:18 *   Nikkolai frowns, rising to standing position. "I'm very confused. First we find a room bound to Fire...and now we have a warding meant to funnel Cold directly into whoever is standing in the pentagram."
Aug 31 21:40:07 <Nikkolai>   "I find it hard to believe that such a vast and confusing complex could exist hidden under our very feet."
Aug 31 21:40:20 <Mari>   "Probably a wizard made this place. Who knows what he wanted it all for? They're all a little crazy, right?" Mari wanders over to Adail and Kam by the table. "You guys find anything good here?"
Aug 31 21:40:46 *   Kamvakua tries taking any of the ones Adail points out as magical and puts them in the bag, if he can without shattering them anyway.
Aug 31 21:40:58 <Kotono>   There ar efour that are magical in total.
Aug 31 21:41:48 *   Adail shrugs, "I don't know what they are, merely that those four are magical."
Aug 31 21:41:57 <Kotono>   "Channel cold into you?" Yulia peers, "Like you're supposed to dothat?"
Aug 31 21:41:58 <Kamvakua>   "Not sure, but we'll find out later.  Some of these are magical, but they are completely iced.  Not worth worrying about for now." Kamvakua replied.  "And don't wizards generally make their hideouts in particularly obscure areas?" Kamvakua said in an offhand fashion, a story heard on the mouths of rumors.
Aug 31 21:42:36 <Mari>   "Yeah, really. It'd be a failure of a secret base if it was easy to find!"
Aug 31 21:42:47 <Adail>   "Like caverns burried under the snow in Frost?" Adail deadpans.
Aug 31 21:43:49 <Nikkolai>   "Perhaps someone from Fire needed to cool down quickly?" Nikkoai muses. "Adail, any wizard or sorcerer worth their salt has their own marble reality. Who'd bother with a base when you could have your own universe at your beck and call?"
Aug 31 21:44:11 <Kotono>   roll 1d100
Aug 31 21:44:12 <Hatbot>   
ACTION --> "Kotono rolls 1d100 and gets 12." [1d100=12]
Aug 31 21:44:30 <Kamvakua>   "Guarded by tunnels of ghosts and hidden behind a magic door," Kamvakua continued.  "I don't suppose anyone wants to mess with the pentagram?" He went toward the back door on the right, waiting a bit.
Aug 31 21:44:34 <Mari>   "*You* don't have your own reality yet, Nik. Well, except maybe the one that exists in your head. So anyway, want to try and pry these doors open or head back up and try the other one in that last room?"
Aug 31 21:45:09 <Adail>   "So that portal master back in town is still an amature? The one that killed you, geased the lot of us and can open Gates on command?"
Aug 31 21:45:15 <Kamvakua>   "Let's keep going here," Kamvakua eyed the first one. "Any traps before I pull?" He wondered, a bit more cautious with the increasing signs of the place once being habitated.
Aug 31 21:45:21 *   Mari keeps clear of the pentagram. "That thing doesn't sound like my idea of a good time."
Aug 31 21:46:25 *   Adail nods and follows Kam towards the door, "I didn't see any magic on it when I did my sweep of the room."
Aug 31 21:47:18 *   Kamvakua nods and checks if the door will open normally first.
Aug 31 21:47:32 <Kotono>   The door's stuck - a bit of forc emight do it.
Aug 31 21:47:52 *   Kamvakua gives a yank again.  Glad this wasn't his place.
Aug 31 21:47:55 <Kamvakua>   roll 1d20+6 yank
Aug 31 21:47:56 <Hatbot>

Aug 31 21:49:13 <Kotono>   The door pops right off! Ahead is a ten foot walkway into what looks to be an white pool of some sort. It's about twenty feet wide or so and fourty long. Otherwise it's a dead end.

Aug 31 21:50:40 *   Mari trails along after Kam, eyeing the pool from a safe distance. "What is that stuff?" Mari picks up a small piece of ice broken from the door, tosses it in.
Aug 31 21:50:45 <Adail>   "Hmm. The pool doesn't seem to be magic. Interesting."
Aug 31 21:50:47 <Kamvakua>   "Pull back," Kamvakua said firmly but not loudly, stepping back himself. "THere's something in there."
Aug 31 21:51:52 *   Adail hadn't actually entered, so he moves out of the doorway to let the others back.
Aug 31 21:52:01 <Kotono>   The ice lands in the pool! It bounces on the surface twice, dissolving as it does.

Aug 31 22:57:47 <Mari>   "I'm so sorry! I didn't know that was going to happen!"
Aug 31 23:00:14 *   Merc is now known as Merc-zzz
Aug 31 23:01:31 <Kamvakua>   Kamvakua eyed his impetuous friend, shaking his head as he reached for...well, what might've once been personal affects.  He simply leaned back against the wall, not remonstrating, but simply exhausted a bit as he came down from drawing upon his inner wrath.
