[20:13] <Kotono> Hit by dark energies, the bebelith crumbles into dust! It's immortal body becomes nothing more than foul, choking dust on the wind, slain!

[20:33] <Alicia> OOC: oh, thought it was bebilith 4 you said...
[20:34] <Kotono> OOC: It was stunned.
[20:34] <Kotono> OOC: I meant it was Bebelith 4 that was dazed/recovering, not 1. Anyway, go.
[20:35] <Alicia> So many new targets to choose from... still, the harrying glittery demon continues to vex her, so she elects to slay it by swooping down again to hopefully take its head off before she ascends back up and out of the fray!

[20:36] <Kotono> Wounded and weakened, the demon starts to slow down! This gives Alicia a chance to swoop in, coming in low and cutting deep into it's shoulders! It starts to evade away, but nearly runs into Seira and then Antenora! Caught flatfooted, it's cut across it's shoulders and rudely decapitated! It's weapons fall to the ground, it's body following!

[20:48] <Kotono> The bebelith is mauled by phantom jaws far away, supporting Demedais as they eat the demon alive! Blood and ichor fly as legs and body are munched! OOC: Donald.
[20:49] <Kotono> Donald grins, "Say hi to oblivion for me! Say, if you have a Blood War in oblivion, tell all the devils there that the Crimson Guard sent you there! They'll be able to relate!" With that, his sword strikes out!

06[20:51] * Seira decides to get just close enough to the pair of hezrou to breathe fire on them! And if she can position herself into catching the bebelith as well, all the merrier!

[20:57] <Kotono> OOC: AC right now?
[20:57] <Demedais> OOC: 46.
[20:57] <Kotono> But Demedais is a mountain, stolidly stopping each slash! OOC: AoO?
06[20:58] * Demedais grins and replies with an upward cut of his own!

06[20:58] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+23 (+6 Law -3 PA -3 CE) and gets 37." [1d20=14]

06[20:58] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 2d6+19 and gets 28." [2d6=5, 4]
[20:58] <Kotono> Demedais hacks into the bebelith, retorting by breaking one of it's claws with his blade, cutting it away! OOC: Alicia.
[21:00] <Alicia> The bebilith is the bigger threat at the moment, so Alicia decides to focus on it as she charges over to support Demedais with a vicious downwards swing of Hell Striker, putting all her weight into slicing through the creature's many-eyed face!

06[21:00] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+25 -10pa charge flying and gets 27." [1d20=2]
[21:00] <Kotono> OOC: It's AoO refreshed so it gets an AoO on you. That's also a clean miss.

06[21:00] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+15 DC 15 and gets 24." [1d20=9]
[21:00] <Kotono> Alicia charges in and flies back, but can't manage to land a blow before she has to dart away! OOC: Deme and Polly.
[21:01] <Alicia> OOC: I charged, so I'm still in range
[21:01] <Kotono> OOC: Okay, right. Dur. Okay, still, Deme'n'Polly variety hour is up.
06[21:01] * Demedais grins wider and continues to lay into the demon with four wide, sweeping cuts!
[21:02] <Kotono> OOC: Sec, resolve your attacks. You know it's AC 30 by now.

[21:05] <Kotono> With this final paired assault, the last demon is cut apart! As it's body hits the ground, a faint laughing can be heard. Giggles from all around you, constant, teasing tittering begins. It rings in your ears and fills your heads...OOC: Free act.
[21:05] <Kotono> OOC: Wait, the last hezrou is still alive. Sorry.
03[21:05] * Kotono changes topic to 'Alicia>Demedais=Polly(22)>Saul(20)>Donald(18)>Antenora=Latha=Seira(16)>Hezrou 2(blinded)(2)'
[21:05] <Kotono> OOC: Ignore the laughing. Saul's up.

06[21:05] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+15 SR and gets 21." [1d20=6]
[21:06] <Kotono> OOC: Hit.
01[21:06] <Seira> OOC: 60, ref half at dc20
[21:06] <Kotono> Saul's powerful jaws rip the wounded hezrou apart, leaving nothing but gore and ruinination! As it's body hits the ground, a faint laughing can be heard. Giggles from all around you, constant, teasing tittering begins. It rings in your ears and fills your heads...OOC: Free act, split sec.
06[21:08] * Demedais ignores the laughter, looking to Latha. "You alright?
[21:08] <Alicia> "So much for surprise," Alicia sighs, flicking the charred ichor off her blade as her eyes glow blue and she takes in the area for any magical signatures.
01[21:08] <Seira> "There's surprise and there's surprise," Seira says with a shrug. "He might know someone's here, but not just who."
[21:10] <Alicia> roll 1d20+23 planes
06[21:10] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+23 planes and gets 29." [1d20=6]
[21:10] <Kotono> Antenora breathes out a moment, eyeing Donald without saying anything.
01[21:10] <Seira> roll 1d20+15
06[21:10] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+15 and gets 25." [1d20=10]

06[21:10] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+24 spellcraft on web and gets 31." [1d20=7]
06[21:11] * Alicia cocks her head and frowns a moment, before her eyes widen in alarm. "Back through the door!" she snaps, gesturing for everyone to get moving into the red corridor with all possible haste and retreating that way herself.
01[21:12] <Seira> "No, wait!" Seira calls out. "Dad, cast Silence! We'll wait it out!"
06[21:13] * Seira makes her way over to her father with all due haste.
06[21:13] * Alicia doesn't like the idea, since that spell could be useful if another storm comes up when they're travelling, but there's really no time to argue so she turns about and quickly moves towards Saul.
06[21:14] * Demedais blinks at Seira and Alicia's commentary, before quickly heading over to where Seira and Alicia are.
[21:14] <Kotono> The others dart to Saul as he quickly casts Silence! Just as he finishes you begin to hear roars of laughter, mocking and terrible, but they're cut off! Silence reigns! Antenora looks out, 'Cacklestorm?' she asks in Alicia's head after a moment. LAtha looks on and makes a sigh of relief.
06[21:15] * Seira uses the chance to give her father all of the pearls she has, since he would make use of the utility better than her in these surroundings.
06[21:15] * Alicia nods to Antenora. 'It shouldn't last more than a minute.'
06[21:15] * Demedais looks to Pollyanna with a very confused expression on his face, shrugging.
06[21:16] * Alicia watches the magical aura of the storm as they wait it out, rather than risking poking her head out to listen for when it stops.
[21:18] <Kotono> Pollyanna shrugs as well. Saul scowls and waits, tapping his foot. As the magical aura of the storm fades, th ewebs begin to melt away. Ahead you can see endless plains all aroun dyou. Hilly planes, the hills shifting and bobbing just underneath the fleshy ground. Behind you, one of the hills bursts, covering the doorway with a thick layer of white pus. This begins to shift almost immediately, turning into a hill of flesh over the doorway. The
[21:18] <Kotono> This begins to shift almost immediately, turning into a hill of flesh over the doorway. The sky above is an angry red streaked with a foul green. Terrible odors are smelt all over, death, decay, rot and a hundred other abomination sthat turn your stomachs.
06[21:19] * Alicia makes a cutting gesture and steps away from Saul once the aura has diminished, judging it now safe.
06[21:19] * Demedais follows, looking around in bemusement.
06[21:20] * Seira follows Alicia, eyeing the pus-blocked doorway with distaste.
[21:20] <Kotono> The silence is gone. "Whew," Donald looks about, "Charming."
[21:21] <Kotono> Antenora goes to the door, "Fine. Gurlan, if you don't want us running back to the Infinite Staircase, we'll come to you." With an angry scowl as she looks ahead, "We fought are way in. The Green Castle's our goal now, yes?"
[21:21] <Alicia> "Some places have acid rain, others have flesh stripping winds... here we have cacklestorms," Alicia explains succinctly as she unfurls her portable hole and tosses the marilith's sword inside, before collecting the Kelvezu's weapons and doing the same. "It's Abyssal weather, effectively. Listening to it can drive you mad, but it's fortunately brief."
[21:22] <Kotono> "It's powerful, but don't be afraid. The Abyss will prey on those fears," Latha says with warmth and energy in her every word. "Stay strong."
01[21:22] <Seira> "Blocking your ears might tide you through," Seira adds. "If there's no other way."
[21:23] <Kotono> "Terrible. To think that Torm..." Pollyanna looks down, and after a breath, "Which way is the Green Castle? That's our goal, isn't it?"
[21:23] <Demedais> "Alright. What's the safest way across these? Around the... hills, so we don't explode them by walking on them?"
[21:23] <Alicia> Folding up the hole and putting it away, Alicia confers with Antenora for a moment to get their bearings and work out Abyssal North. "The Castle is to the Northwest - since flying will probably make us visible to every demon for miles, we're going to have to walk it. Hope everyone's up for a hike."
06[21:25] * Seira shrugs. "Just as long as we remember the time limit on our protection from poisons."
[21:25] <Alicia> roll 1d20+23 best way to avoid pus-bursting sores on the ground?
06[21:25] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+23 best way to avoid pus-bursting sores on the ground? and gets 39." [1d20=16]
[21:26] <Alicia> "Just avoid cresting over any hills and work around them. If you have spikes on your shoes you might want to blunt them," Alicia suggests to Demedais as she leads the group out of the webby dome.
[21:28] <Demedais> "I don't, so." Demedais shrugs, following Alicia carefully out.
[21:30] <Kotono> Thus the party begins to travel! The scents in the air are vile and toxic, your stomachs churning with each step. After about fourty five minutes of this, you can spot something ahead. Several large metal spikes, about fourty feet tall, jut out into the air. Even from here, you can see they are used like kebab skewers, with unclad humanoids stuffed along it and impaled from the base to the pointed, bloody tips. A coating of green mold covers m
[21:30] <Kotono> from the base to the pointed, bloody tips. A coating of green mold covers much of the humanoids.
06[21:31] * Seira peers closer to see if the humanoids are dead.
[21:32] <Alicia> "They'll probably start screaming and alert every demon in the area if we get too close," Alicia speculates darkly. "Lets try and work around them and use the hills for cover to avoid notice."
[21:32] <Kotono> Pollyanna holds her mouth and looks away, "Is that what..."
01[21:32] <Seira> "Shouldn't we kill them? Death is final here, right?"
[21:34] <Demedais> "If we can kill Gurlan, that should either buy us enough time to return and end their torment, or end it with his own death. Right now our duty's to end Gurlan. We don't want to risk this, I feel."
[21:34] <Alicia> "I don't mind depriving the Abyss of a few souls, but be prepared to pay the price if that's what you want - the demons we've encountered here have already been stronger than expected, and I doubt our interference would go unchallenged," Alicia cautions.
01[21:34] <Seira> roll 1d20+13
06[21:35] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+13 and gets 30." [1d20=17]
01[21:35] <Seira> "Before I advocate for anything, would slaying those impaled free their souls from torment?"
[21:36] <Kotono> "They'd find oblivion," Antenora says, voice bleak. "A mercy compared to the Abyss, but it's final. It's nothingness.:"
06[21:36] * Seira frowns. "And there's also an invisible white frog with a maul about one hundred and thirty feet away, two o'clock from me," she adds much quieter.
06[21:36] * Alicia shrugs. "If they are the souls of Abyssal petitioners - in other words, demons," she allows. "They could be constructed lures for all I can tell."
[21:36] <Kotono> "Yeah, what Antenora said..." Donald stretches back, despite his color being pale and green, "I liked the idea of all the outsiders we've offed being there and bitching, though."
06[21:38] * Demedais blinks and looks to Donald carefully.
[21:38] <Alicia> "What's it doing?" Alicia asks Seira quietly, carefully not looking in that direction.
[21:38] <Kotono> roll 1d20+23
06[21:38] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+23 and gets 32." [1d20=9]
[21:38] <Kotono> "That may be very dangerous," Latha hisses under her breath, "If that's a slaadi and it's white...are you certain?"
01[21:39] <Seira> "Coming closer. Pretty certain. I could preempt it, or point it out for a few smites? If so, we'll go on three."
[21:39] <Alicia> roll 1d20+23 white slaad?
06[21:39] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+23 white slaad? and gets 27." [1d20=4]
01[21:39] <Seira> roll 1d20+15 ditto
06[21:39] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+15 ditto and gets 32." [1d20=17]
[21:39] <Kotono> roll 1d20+21
06[21:39] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+21 and gets 39." [1d20=18]
[21:41] <Alicia> "It's in the Abyss and it's approaching us under cover of invisibility. I doubt it has kind intentions," Alicia remarks, already casting Heroism on herself.
[21:41] <Kotono> "White slaad?" Antenora hisses, "They're incredibly powerful agents of utter chaos," Antenora says tightly.
01[21:42] <Seira> "They never do," Seira agrees as she calls for Bear's Endurance, while hoping that her father calls upon the Globe of Invulnerability spell.
[21:42] <Kotono> The slaad continues to approach, and abruptly calls out, "Mortals!" It booms from over one hundred feet, Seira able to see it slinging it's maul over one shoulder to rest it there.
[21:43] <Kotono> OOC: The spells can go without incident, but it also said something so bear that in midn.
06[21:44] * Alicia looks over at the sound of the voice, drifting a bit away from the others so they're not bunched up neatly for area effects. "If you wish to parley then show yourself," she calls back.
[21:44] <Kotono> "Hah! As if you can't detect me!" It laughs heartily, "I can hear your arcane words to protect and strenghten yourselves!"
[21:45] <Demedais> "Mortals and some assorted immortals and other types, but hey, who's counting." Demedais muses almost silently, stepping away about five feet as well and looking in the general direction of where Alicia's looking.
06[21:45] * Seira opts to stay near her father, both for the defense and to protect him, if need be. "Or we could've just been thinking of taking out those spikes and preparing," Seira reasons. "Then you've just given away your presence pointlessly."
[21:46] <Kotono> "And there's also an invisible white frog with a maul about one hundred and thirty feet away," The White Slaadi's voice becomes Seira's, laughing in her voice right after. "Off to smite the demons?"
01[21:47] <Seira> "Sorry. You look like a frog, and I call them as I see them."
[21:47] <Alicia> "As if a group looking like we do could have any other purpose in this corner of the lower planes," Alicia banters back. "What's your excuse?"
[21:48] <Kotono> "Went portal chasing, didn't work out so well," He banters right back, Seira able to see it grinning, full of black and white and uprple and green and blue and rainbow colored teeth. "Fortune chose to toss me into the Abyss."
[21:50] <Alicia> "Well if you don't mind digging through a few feet of flesh, there's a doorway to the Infinite Staircase about an hour that way, in the middle of the bebilith-web dome," Alicia offers magmanimously as she gestures back on their path. Might get out of this one peacefully after all.
[21:52] <Kotono> "Boring. I'm bored of portals. No, I'm heading for a city in this layer. It's called Jova. Hmmm...you know what would be interesting? A bunch of angels and the like coming with me to crash Jova. I hear there's an uppity vampire or fallen celestial or something running the place. It'll be a wonderful experience!"
[21:52] <Alicia> roll 1d20+25 Jova?
01[21:53] <Seira> "It's obvious why you need us, but why exactly would we need you?" Seira inquires curiously. "If we're here, it makes sense we think we're up to the task on our own."
06[21:53] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+25 Jova? and gets 31." [1d20=6]
[21:54] <Kotono> "If you're interesting, maybe I'll tag along with you," It answers back, "It could be fun."
01[21:55] <Seira> "It could be," Seira agrees with a shrug, eyeing Demedais for his rage level at the prospect.
[21:55] <Kotono> "Absolutely not," Antenora mutters under her breath, "It's a slaad."
[21:56] <Alicia> He could be a powerful ally. But also an unreliable one, and Alicia isn't sure how she feels having a slaad watching her back. "We have an appointment in the Green Castle first. It's a balor we're after, though, so it's a bit cliche compared to your abyssal vampire," Alicia explains apologetically.
06[21:56] * Demedais looks to Seira quite calmly in reply.
[21:57] <Kotono> "Oh, going after the big demon...That might be interesting," Eyeing Alicia now, "Burn Jova to the ground, figuratively or literally, then go visit the lord of the Green Castle...I like how you think, celestial."
01[21:58] <Seira> "No, no. Set the balor on fire, then dance on the vampire's ashes."
[21:58] <Kotono> Antenora glares at Seira.
06[21:59] * Demedais looks to Antenora before rubbing his head and glancing back to the area the slaad's in.
06[22:00] * Seira mirrors Demedais's look as she smiles at Antenora peacefully.
06[22:00] * Alicia nods in agreement with Seira, wondering if Marie would be proud of her for garnering a slaad's approval on her thought processes. "Gurlan is our priority here, so anything else would be secondary for us."
[22:00] <Kotono> "I say we go deal wth Jova first." The slaadi banters back, "But how about we settle it the right way? We flip a coin to decide?"
01[22:00] <Seira> "Only if it's heads I win, tails you lose."
[22:02] <Kotono> "Boring! It's boring if you alread know the result!" Turning away from Seira now, "You there!" Back to Alicia now, "Surely YOU appreciate the beauty of a good coin flip, or a roll of the dice!"
[22:04] <Kotono> Pollyanna look sto the slaad, staying close to Demedais.
[22:04] <Alicia> When did it become 'we'? "I prefer games of skill over pure random chance," Alicia admits. "Sadly I never brought my playing cards, and we don't really have time for a proper game... besides, we really can't afford to be sidetracked."
[22:04] <Alicia> "But I'm sure whatever ruckus we raise in the castle will have some nice aftershocks in Jova which should make things interesting for you if you go ahead and visit there while we carry on to our goal." Poor Antenora's blood pressure would never survive travelling with a slaad.
01[22:04] <Seira> "Pal, I think you're missing the point. We want to go there. We've traveled through disgusting pus to get there. For us to divert, it would have to be pretty damn important. For us to consider it with you coming along as the bonus, you have to bring a pretty overwhelming bonus. So are you like the white king of planar frogs? The undefeated slaadi champion of martial arts?"
06[22:04] * Seira tilts her head. "You wouldn't be a philosopher, would you?"
[22:05] <Kotono> "He's not so bad," Donald murmurs. "More interesting than Demedais there at least."
01[22:05] <Seira> "That's just the unresolved sexual tension you have for him talking."
[22:05] <Kotono> Antenora goes to rub her forehead with her hand.
06[22:06] * Demedais looks to Seira unreadably.
01[22:07] <Seira> "I didn't say it had to be resolved!"
[22:07] <Kotono> The slaadi croaks laughter at that, "Right parts, wrong parts, it's all love if you're in the mood! Anyway, ever seen a gray or a death slaad? I'm superior to them in every way!"
[22:07] <Kotono> OOC: Gah.
[22:08] <Kotono> The slaadi croaks laughter at that, "Right parts, wrong parts, it's all love if you're in the mood! Anyway, ever seen a gray or a death slaad? I'm superior to them in every way!" It comes a little closer, to within about 100 feet. "It goes the other way! Jova goes nuts and it'll ripple to the Green Castle! What'll it be like there if that fallen celestial or cornugon or whatever gets the axe? Interesting, that's what!"
[22:08] <Kotono> whatever gets the axe? Interesting, that's what!"
01[22:09] <Seira> "Can you demonstrate your superiority by destroying the spikes and all that's on them?" Seira asks the slaadi.
[22:10] <Alicia> "Ah, but you see," Alicia holds up her finger, "You want interesting - a wild riot in Jova, carnage and uncertainty and all sorts of madness. We want easy - a quick in and out after knocking over big red and fiery. So our goals, while complementary in one sense, don't actually lend well towards us sticking together."
[22:11] <Kotono> roll 1d100
06[22:11] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d100 and gets 76." [1d100=76]
[22:11] <Demedais> "Actually, I think I have an idea that might please both sides." Demedais says after a moment. "You're looking to see as much chaos as you can while down here, I take it?"
[22:11] <Kotono> roll 1d4
06[22:11] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d4 and gets 3." [1d4=3]
[22:12] <Kotono> The slaad doesn'te ven turn away. Behind it, three other slaad appear. They are white and purple, with skull like faces. They immediately head over towards the spikes, fireballs bursting around them! Amid the din of that as the slaadi close in and distantly seen demons appear to engage the slaadi, "You've been quiet. What's your idea, then, knight?"
06[22:13] * Alicia can't deny, she likes this slaad's style.
01[22:14] <Seira> "I've changed my mind, if there's any way this can work without speargirl's head exploding, let's hear it."
[22:16] <Demedais> "If you're looking to cause chaos, then it seems that while a large group causes a bigger impact, surely, the impact of two separate forces on two distinctly large targets would be far more interesting in this regard - frantic communications back and forth, the straining of defenses and suchlike. Thusly, it would seem best - as you are quite clearly capable of calling forth reinforcements - to try and cause a large an impact as possible on both
[22:16] <Demedais> " - to try and cause a large an impact as possible on both targets and not only spread the chaos that way, but prolong it as the native defenses struggle to react to both assaults."
[22:17] <Kotono> "Ooooh, that could be interesting too," The slaadi eyes Demedais, "Chaos on two fronts...more chaos for everyone!"
[22:18] <Kotono> "Splitting up our forces?" Saul asks right back, "That's very dangerous and a serious risk to take."
01[22:19] <Seira> "But not impossible, I must admit," Seira muses, waiting to see whether Demedais has a plan for this, or just a way to chase the frog away.
[22:20] <Demedais> "I wasn't suggesting splitting us up." Demedais notes. "Our friend here has the capability to bring his own reinforcements in, it seems - and with no small lack of capability themselves. It would seem that we would be best able to provide our side of the attack grouped, as we work best together anyway. Meanwhile, striking at Jova with a group of reinforcements while Gurlan and his castle are distracted would provide an equivalent amount of chao
[22:20] <Demedais> ג€œGurlan and his castle are distracted would provide an equivalent amount of chaos, if not more, and I would guess that you and your kin are far more than capable of that."
[22:22] <Demedais> ג€œThere is one more advantage to this.ג€ Demedais notes after a moment.
[22:23] <Kotono> Behind you the battle rages. From it a head goes flying, hurtling right to the slaad's waiting, abruptly thrust out hand. It's the head of what looks to be a succubus or marilith, which is immediately tossed down it's throat like a bit of candy. It swallows it whole, rubbing it's stomach. "Good work back there," it calls, as more fireballs flash. "Keep it up!" Then to Demedais, "What's the last advantage then?"
06[22:26] * Demedais watches the digestion of the head with nothing more than a slight grin, before nodding and pacing slightly. ג€œIt becomes the wager. Which group makes the most impact? Clearly as a group of mortals and celestials, weג€™d find it difficult to judge the amount of chaos produced - and besides, youג€™ve got an innate advantage, especially over, say, me or her.ג€ Demedais gestures slightly to Antenora.
[22:27] <Demedais> ג€œThis being said, thereג€™s still the stakes of time - how efficiently can this be managed? Weג€™ve got the advantage of more people from the outset, and your summoning might be limited - weג€™re also required to rest, whereas you might be able to avoid that. In this, the game is played - speed and impact the measures.ג€
[22:28] <Demedais> ג€œThat and one side finishes fast enough, they can go taunt the other side while helping them clean up there.ג€
[22:31] <Kotono> As more fire bursts out around the spikes, the slaadi listens to Demedais, "Oh I like that, I lik ethat, but there's one problem. The summons there? They go away in an hour. Jova isn't that close, either."
01[22:32] <Seira> "Well, you've been here longer. Is it and Green Castle even on the same way?"
[22:32] <Demedais> ג€œHm.ג€ Demedais muses. ג€œAnd no way to extend them, I take it?ג€
[22:33] <Kotono> Gesturing to the south, "Opposite ways as the chaos flows. I can yell at them, but they always go away in an hour. I try sometimes, but it never works. They're so boringly predictable. Then they show up for compensatino a century later. Booooring! Same routine over and over. Disgraces to Limbo!"
[22:35] <Demedais> ג€œAnd how often can you use that?ג€ Demedais asks. ג€œIf you can call a fresh batch every hour, it might still work - if those three handle a marilith and such no issue, the two groups are probably still evenly matched in this regard.ג€
[22:36] <Kotono> "Couple of times per day." It eyes Demedais now, "The questions are starting to get boring. Get on with it!"
01[22:38] <Seira> "Let's add a deadline for good measure and call it a fun game for everyone involved?" Seira suggests.
[22:40] <Alicia> "Or we could make it interesting," Alicia adds speculatively, not liking the slaad's expressions of boredom and what it foretells for peaceful coexistence.
[22:40] <Demedais> ג€œThen the game should still be viable, since our own pace will likely be far slower than yours through here.ג€ Demedais nods after a moment. ג€œUsing the summons to create a mass of chaos when attacking the city before striking at another point in the cityג€™s defenses... Yeah, Iג€™d still consider this fairly interesting, as you definitely have options available to you here. You could also get reinforcements from Limbo to possibly shift dow
[22:40] <Demedais> ג€œYou could also get reinforcements from Limbo to possibly shift down either through the Eternal Staircase or just straight in, while weג€™ll be locked out of such reinforcements at the Castle. So, see my comradeג€™s suggestio- hm?ג€ Demedais glances to Alicia. ג€œYou have a suggestion?ג€
06[22:43] * Alicia nods to Demedais and then smiles at the slaad. "A wager on the outcome could make things more invigorating, wouldn't it?" Chaotic types love to gamble, and this should hopefully keep the slaad focused on the game rather than rewriting the rules in a manner that could disadvantage them if it seems more entertaining.
01[22:44] <Seira> "And a penalty game for the loser? I like those."
[22:44] <Kotono> "A wager on the outcome, with Jova as the playing field?" It strokes it's froglike chin.
06[22:46] * Alicia unfurls her portable hole and reaches inside, holding up an oddly shifting grey sphere. "You might like this. It's a metal, and yet not a metal... it's *every* metal, constantly in flux until a final form is chosen. Should you manage to identify and kill the hidden ruler of Jova first, its yours... assuming you can put up a suitable stake of your own should we slay Gurlan first."

03[20:13] * Ebiris is now known as Alicia
05[20:14] -atarians.dejatoons.net:@#dunes- Alicia invited Hatbot into the channel.
03[20:14] * Hatbot (~Hatbot@24.174.51.230) has joined #dunes
03[20:14] * Alicia sets mode: +v Hatbot
[20:15] <Kotono_Ibis> The slaad's eyes light up as he stares at it, "Marvelous! A suitable stake..." He thinks, eyeing the party. Meanwhile, in the background, carnage takes place at the edge of your vision. The spikes are collapsing, burning down with a deep clatter. "I shall give you CHAOS itself. Are any of you suitable of receiving CHAOS?"
[20:16] <Kotono_Ibis> Antenora shudders and looks away.
01[20:16] <Seira> "Is it tasty?"
[20:16] <Alicia> "I'm afraid my last experience with it didn't go so well," Alicia demurs.
[20:17] <Kotono_Ibis> "Are any of you of chaos? Eladrin or a chaotic weapon?" The slaadi enquires, "Chaos strengthens chaos."
06[20:18] * Seira looks pointedly at Donald.
[20:19] <Kotono_Ibis> "Hey, wait a minute!" Donald holds up hands, "Seira, what about you? You're better at adding metaphysical stuff to yourself! You're half dragon, half human and half elf!"
[20:19] <Alicia> "Actually," Alicia interjects. "She's not here, but I do have an eladrin friend and on her behalf I'll accept your wager."
[20:20] <Kotono_Ibis> "Good then." The slaadi says, "Off to Jova, to burn it to the ground!" It takes up a merry step, maul slung over it's shoulder.
06[20:21] * Seira blinks as the frog departs. "That was weird. But in a good way."
[20:21] <Alicia> "What's your name?" Alicia calls after the slaad. They'll need to contact one another to confirm once they've done their respective parts, after all.
[20:22] <Kotono_Ibis> Shouting back, "Ssnjssi!" It says in barely comprehensible syllables.
[20:22] <Kotono_Ibis> "It was just weird," Antenora looks pale, "The raw chaos from that creature..."
[20:22] <Kotono_Ibis> "If it serves to weaken Gurlan, it has done well enough." Latha murmurs as she looks to the burning spikes, "Let chaos weaken chaos."
01[20:23] <Seira> "And the spikes are gone. Let's get moving, too?"
[20:23] <Alicia> "He didn't seem a bad sort," Alicia opines as she tosses the ingot back into the hole. "Anyway, lets get moving. I'd rather not lose the bet, after all."
06[20:24] * Demedais nods silently, looking forward.
[20:24] <Kotono_Ibis> Thus the party begins to travel anew! OOC: Who's on point?D  eme still?
[20:24] <Alicia> OOC: might as well be
[20:25] <Kotono_Ibis> OOC: Make a spot check then, Demedais?
[20:26] <Demedais> roll 1d20+27
06[20:26] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+27 and gets 45." [1d20=18]
[20:27] <Kotono_Ibis> You travel for two hours. The rolling, unstable hills support you well enough with a careful pace. ABout 150 feet ahead, Demedais can see the fleshy ground on the horizon starting to shake and sink down. It's a very slow, very subtle motion.
[20:29] <Demedais> "... Something might be coming." Demedais warns after a moment. "The horizon in front of us is sinking..."
06[20:29] * Alicia reaches into her survival pouch and tosses something out which resolves into a hearty mule. "Lets see if we can bait it, then," she suggests, giving the donkey a slap and sending it running ahead of the group.
[20:30] <Kotono_Ibis> Donald crosses his arms and watches, "We can hope."
[20:30] <Alicia> roll 1d20+25 planes is it quickflesh?
06[20:30] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+25 planes is it quickflesh? and gets 29." [1d20=4]
[20:32] <Kotono_Ibis> Thus Alicia sends her ass ahead! As it runs ahead to the shaking, the ground seems to deflate and sink! Splurts of vile pus erupt out all ahead, sending gushers of it as the ground collapses down! As you watch, a vast lake of pus forms, countless geysers of the foul material spraying into the air and flling the new lake up.
[20:32] <Kotono_Ibis> Donald looks away, "That is absolutely DISGUSTING!"
[20:33] <Kotono_Ibis> Saul puts his hand over his face, "I worry more about any stench or crossing the damned thing."
01[20:33] <Seira> "So the demons who live here," Seira whispers to Latha. "They like it here?"
[20:33] <Alicia> "At least it didn't happen while we were walking over it," Alicia resists the urge to gag as the mule skids to a halt at the edge of the new lake. "Come on, lets just walk around it."
[20:33] <Kotono_Ibis> "As much as pyschopaths do," Latha grimaces and turns away, "Demons are incomprehensible to me."
01[20:34] <Seira> "Creepy."
[20:34] <Kotono_Ibis> As you begin to turn away from it, a terrible smell batters the party! OOC: Fort saves, all.
06[20:34] * Demedais eyes the pool of pus with a clinical detachment.
[20:34] <Demedais> roll 1d20+24
06[20:34] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+24 and gets 41." [1d20=17]
[20:34] <Kotono_Ibis> roll 1d20+19
06[20:34] * Hatbot --> "Kotono_Ibis rolls 1d20+19 and gets 28." [1d20=9]
[20:34] <Kotono_Ibis> roll 1d20+28
06[20:34] * Hatbot --> "Kotono_Ibis rolls 1d20+28 and gets 42." [1d20=14]
[20:34] <Alicia> roll 1d20+24 (+4 vs poison, +6 vs evil)
06[20:34] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+24 (+4 vs poison, +6 vs evil) and gets 34." [1d20=10]
01[20:34] <Seira> roll 1d20+21
06[20:34] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+21 and gets 40." [1d20=19]
[20:35] <Kotono_Ibis> roll 1d20+11
06[20:35] * Hatbot --> "Kotono_Ibis rolls 1d20+11 and gets 14." [1d20=3]
[20:35] <Kotono_Ibis> roll 1d20+16
06[20:35] * Hatbot --> "Kotono_Ibis rolls 1d20+16 and gets 27." [1d20=11]
[20:35] <Kotono_Ibis> roll 1d20+10
06[20:35] * Hatbot --> "Kotono_Ibis rolls 1d20+10 and gets 23." [1d20=13]
[20:36] <Kotono_Ibis> Pollyanna buckles and falls to her knees, crying out before she turns and is noisily sick, retching over and over.
06[20:37] * Alicia hopes Demedais has the decency to hold her hair back as she casts a cantrip to produce a refreshing lemony scent. "Come on," she starts walking around the lake, giving it ample clearance as she makes sure to breath with her mouth and not her nose. "Faster we move the sooner we're away from this."
06[20:38] * Demedais does make sure Pollyanna's hair is back, bracing her some as he waits for her stomach to calm.
[20:38] <Kotono_Ibis> Pollyanna loses her meals, then begins to dry heave over and over and over. She doesn't stop, shaking as each terrible spasm passes through her.
[20:39] <Kotono_Ibis> "Allow me," Latha approaches Demedais, "Let us try our talents to ease her suffering?"
06[20:39] * Alicia stops, Pollyanna's illness seeming rapidly more sinister than simple nausea at an overwhelmingly bad smell. But hopefully those better than she at healing can remedy it...
[20:42] <Demedais> "Right." Demedais nods slightly. "I don't have much prepared to directly counter this, but..." With that, he tries his Remove Disease first, anticipating that Lesser Restorations would fail here.
[20:42] <Kotono_Ibis> Pollyanna's shakes stop. Her color is waxen as she weakly wipes her mouth with the back of her hand. "I...thank you." she wheezes, "I...I think I can go on now...just...water. Can I have some water?"
06[20:43] * Demedais pulls out a canteen and opens it before handing it over.
[20:44] <Kotono_Ibis> Pollyanna takes a few shaking swigs from it, passing it back before rising. She takes a careful step and then another. "I can go on."
[20:45] <Demedais> "Alright. Tell me if you need anything further." Demedais holds her shoulder for a bit longer.
[20:45] <Kotono_Ibis> Thus the party advances! As they walk...they find the lake stretches out ahead. The ground ahead turns to puss, as if the lake is becoming a long river. You come no closer to wrapping around it after several minutes of walking.
[20:46] <Alicia> "Okay, we're going to have to fly over," Alicia announces as she comes to a stop. "Thing is, some flying demons are sure to come out of hiding and attack us as we do, so carrying people across might not be too wise... any ideas?"
01[20:47] <Seira> "We can just fly near ground level and ward ourselves from sickness?" Seira suggests. "If that fails, there's Dimension Door."
[20:48] <Alicia> "Dimension door is best - you can take Demedais, Pollyanna, and Lord Saul across, and the rest of us can fly over?" Alicia nods agreeably.
01[20:48] <Seira> "Sure thing," Seira agrees. "And you guys should go one at a time. If there's any trouble, I'll use a short distance spell to swap places with the one ambushed or incapacitated."
06[20:49] * Demedais nods slightly. "Very well."
[20:49] <Kotono_Ibis> "I don't see anything wrong with it," Donald pronounces. "Better than trying to wade or swimt hrough that."
01[20:51] <Seira> "Good, because you're coming along," Seira tells him, glancing at Latha, Alicia and Antenora. "Got a spot for one more, if you'd like."
[20:52] <Kotono_Ibis> "I'll fly with Alicia," Antenora says. Latha considers a moment, "Go ahead. Three is safer than two."
01[20:52] <Seira> "If you say so. My effective range is a bit over a thousand feet, so that's where I'll aim. On three, one, two, three--" And Seira disappears with the others.
[20:53] <Kotono_Ibis> Woosh! Seira and company appear on the other side safely and without incident. It's about 130 feet across, by the by.
06[20:53] * Seira still wants to keep her distance.
[20:54] <Alicia> "Didn't she say she wanted us close for a short range spell?" Alicia wonders as the rest of the party turn into small dots in the distance. "Oh well, lets fly up and get some clearance over the stench before we cross over?" She flaps her wings and begins spiralling upwards, intending to get eighty feet up so that feather fall will offer some relief if an accident happens.
[20:55] <Kotono_Ibis> Antenora and Latha follow suit. With a grimace below, "Such filth for no reason." Antenora says, "I shudder that I may have once found this tolerable."
[20:56] <Alicia> "Almost makes the plane of ooze seem homey, doesn't it?" Alicia agrees wryly as she angles to fly over the expanding river, descending once clear and swooping in towards the party.
[20:57] <Kotono_Ibis> Thus the party flies over! Belwo the river bubbles and pulses, bu tnothing comes close to them this high. They make it over without incident.
[20:58] <Alicia> Landing back on semi-solid ground, Alicia is relieved her suspicions came to naught, and eager to continue on to the northwest!
[20:58] <Kotono_Ibis> "Yes, let's hurry," Donald picks up his pace. :"The sooner then damned better."
[20:58] <Kotono_Ibis> OOC: Ready to move along?
06[20:58] * Demedais nods and leads the way, keeping eye out for any further problems.
[20:59] <Kotono_Ibis> OOC: Make another spot check for reference, Deme?
[21:03] <Demedais> roll 1d20+27
06[21:03] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+27 and gets 41." [1d20=14]
[21:04] <Kotono_Ibis> It's only been about ten minutes of walking, the river of pus barely left behind. But far away, perhaps 230 feet away and skyborne, are a V-shaped formation of twisted grey creatures. Demedais can see they dimly remind him of gargoyles.
[21:06] <Demedais> "Flying enemies. Kinda look like gargoyles. V formation, either tactics or coincidence and it's the Abyss so who knows." Demedais notes, gesturing with his head in the precise direction
[21:07] <Alicia> Considering the distance is less than Alicia can cover in six seconds, she doesn't doubt that their potential enemies are right on top of them as she draws Hell Striker and looks up.
06[21:07] * Seira mirrors Alicia's actions, looking eager for a fun fight!
[21:08] <Kotono_Ibis> As the party looks up, you can see a V-shaped formation racing at the party! The creatures look somewhat like gargoyles, yet are only human sized. Six of them, racing ahead at the party without restraint! OOC: Init, they're obviously comin' for you and the Abyss ain't friendly.
06[21:08] * Demedais already had his sword out, and simply follows them with his eyes.

[22:13] <Kotono_Ibis> Bringing the Third Resort down, SEira severs the neck of the last demon, making it fade away into the pussy, pus leaking ground! OOC: Free act.
[22:13] <Kotono_Ibis> Antenora lowers her spear and looks about. "Everyone alright?"
[22:13] <Kotono_Ibis> "Just a bit violated by dark magic," Donald coughs, "They were quick to run when they were outclassed."
[22:14] <Alicia> "Urgh... wretched things," Alicia grimaces, working her pallid arm before she sheathes her blade. "The strength of this layer's residents exceeds expectations."
01[22:15] <Seira> "Doesn't it?" Seira agrees, sheathing her Resort in turn. "But it also makes the whole thing more worthwhile."
[22:15] <Kotono_Ibis> "I wonder if that was purely attrition," Antenora takes an exhaling breath, "Soften us up and drain or magic. Notice how most of the beams were fired at our spellcasters?"
[22:16] <Demedais> "Seems likely." Demedais nods after a moment.
01[22:16] <Seira> "I noticed how they forgot I existed until they were running away," Seira mutters peevishly.
[22:16] <Kotono_Ibis> "For which I'd say you should be thanking Waukeen for," Saul says as he starts to weave restorative magic around himself.
[22:17] <Alicia> "Likely Gurlan wants to strip away your allies and then take his time with you himself," Alicia remarks, glancing at Seira. "It's beyond question that he knows we're here, though."
[22:18] <Kotono_Ibis> Going to Donald after and repeating the restoration, "It's only going to get harder from here to the Green Castle. What the 10,000 gold coin question is that what Gurlan has cooked up and where he's getting it from. Is this all his, or is Demogorgon or another fiend helping out?"
01[22:19] <Seira> "That's vaguely disrurbing," Seira muses in response to Alicia. "How about we summon some help of our own to even the odds?"
[22:19] <Demedais> "I'd guess the latter, but that's just a personal hunch."
[22:20] <Kotono_Ibis> "Helm will see us through." Pollyanna says softly, "We will not waiver and we will be triumphant. The demons are parting before us like wheat before a scythe."
[22:20] <Alicia> "A few fire elementals are about all I can offer, unless you want me to cripple myself by using that tablet of armageddon," Alicia tells Seira. "Anyway, everything I'd heard about Gurlan said he was fairly minor and didn't have much under him - his molydeus bodyguard was a big deal. Six mature nabassu could tear a molydeus apart. He's surely getting outside help."
01[22:21] <Seira> "No, don't cripple yourself!" Seira tells Alicia brightly. "That's what's Dad is for!"

[20:29] <Alicia> "Such a loving family... anyway, we should get moving first," Alicia suggests, looking around warily. "The Nabassu that got away have our exact position and could come back with reinforcements - I could teleport us to the horizon. Get us some distance and shave time off our journey to the castle."
[20:30] <Kotono> "That may be wise," Saul agrees, "If we are to do so, let us do it sooner than later."
01[20:30] <Seira> "And after that, we should let Dad summon some aid," Seira insists.
06[20:31] * Alicia unfurls her portable hole and gives Latha a sheepish look. "I can only take six passengers normally, but if you wait in here for a second that'll let me bring all eight of us." Since Latha can plane shift out of the hole if something goes terribly wrong, she's the logical choice.
[20:32] <Kotono> Latha looks at the hole before nodding, "Very well then."
[20:33] <Alicia> Once Latha obliges Alicia gathers everyone round and focuses on a point at the far horizon visible to the Northwest in the direction they'd been heading, before she teleports the group along.

[20:34] <Kotono> Woosh! You appear on a lumpy plain much like where you were before. Ahead lies more fields of cysts, more abyssial terrain to be overcome. The sky above rumbles a few times, little pockets of air above twitching. In the sky above you, dozens of eyes open out of thin air. Each eye is desiccated and dead, glaring down with a pussy, weeping red gaze.
06[20:35] * Alicia opens up the hole so Latha can egress while she looks at the eyes warily, her own eyes glowing blue as she tries to figure out what magic or abyssal weather this portends.
[20:35] <Demedais> "Tracking teleportation?" Demedais hazards, looking up with distaste.
01[20:35] <Seira> "I take it, this is a bad place to stop and summon planar allies?" Seira asks warily, for her part.

06[20:38] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+27 and gets 44." [1d20=17]
06[20:38] * Demedais shrugs. "I just hear some buzzing."
[20:38] <Kotono> "I hear nothing," Latha steps out and gazes to the sky, "More signs of Abyssial madness?"
[20:38] <Alicia> "Can't hear anything, but... the Abyss itself is watching us," Alicia replies as she furls up the hole. "It'll get worse - if anyone can dispel magic, try it now," she recommends earnestly as Latha and Antenora both oblige with their innate abilities before Alicia has to recourse to her powerful spells.
[20:39] <Alicia> roll 1d20+10 Latha dispel

[20:39] <Kotono> "Do y'here that now," Donald looks about, "Someone's crying." His gaze sweeps about, "You hear that, don't you?"
[20:39] <Kotono> The eyes do not relent to the dispels.
[20:39] <Alicia> Seeing a lack of effect, Alicia uses her own magic. "In Mystra's name, let the Abyss not look back upon us!"

[20:40] <Kotono> To this, the eyes peel back. They flay apart a strip at at a time, vanishing from the air. The scent of death lingers like a heavy miasma.
[20:40] <Demedais> "The buzz is louder now, but I don't hear any crying. It must be trying to target you two specifically?" Demedais mutters, looking around.
[20:41] <Demedais> "Er, never mind. The eyes were the buzzing sound."
[20:41] <Alicia> "Lets press on," Alicia suggests, getting her bearings and focusing on the Northwest before striding purposefuly onwards. "Lingering here would be unwise after that."
[20:41] <Demedais> "Indeed."
[20:41] <Kotono> "I...it's stopped," Donald's sword is drawn, his gaze whipping around, "I don't hear it anymore."
01[20:41] <Seira> "Going," Seira agrees, pushing Donald along as well.

[20:49] <Kotono> The horizon buckles and twists. As if the sky itself has gone ill, vomiting out poison. What appears is a flock of dragon-like creatures, fiendish and twisted.

[20:51] <Kotono> His voice is like the thud of a mace slamming and splitting your skull apart into messy bits, "Turn away your quest for The Green Castle. All that awaits you is oblivion."

[20:55] <Alicia> Well, that confirms who's backing Gurlan. "So the Prince of Demons sends more of his minions into the grinder for Gurlan's benefit?" she challenges, refusing to be intimidated. "We will not be turned aside. You will move out of our way, or you will BE moved."

[20:57] <Demedais> "Other than that split gauntlet marking him as a foe of Helm? He doesn't ring any bells." Demedais murmurs.
[20:57] <Kotono> Rumbling darkly, the death knight raises scythe at Demedais, "Loathe am I to waste a woman's blood. You! Your life ends here, dog of Helm!"
[20:58] <Alicia> "Death Knight of Demogorgon," Alicia whispers, raising up Hell Striker at the ready now that battle seems inevitable. "And a complement of half-fiend wyverns."
06[20:58] * Seira sighs in regret. "I'm sorry, I've got nothing profound to say here. Are we moving from the bantering stage to the fighting, now?"
[20:59] <Demedais> "Right." Demedais mutters.
[21:00] <Demedais> "Good luck if you think you can down me, fiend." he adds after a moment, stepping a bit forward.
[21:01] <Kotono> The nightmare takes a step forward as well, as it's master speaks, "Before the slaughter, let us celebrate with your sacrifice! I challenge you to single combat, dog!"
01[21:03] <Seira> "But that would run counter to our plan of ganging up on you and beating on you like a drum together," Seira feels the need to point out.
[21:04] <Kotono> "It might work better if you don't say it out loud," Saul murmurs, spells at the ready.
[21:04] <Kotono> Antenora is tense, waiting, glaring ahead.
06[21:04] * Alicia will oblige if Demedais feels the need to prove his manliness, but would honestly rather get this over with.
[21:05] <Kotono> Pollyanna looks to Demedais and nods, "If you do...strike him down. His breastplate is blasphemy."
01[21:05] <Seira> "Like that's going to matter," Seira tells her father with a snort. "It's a demon, right? What kind of sad demon wouldn't expect it?"
[21:06] <Kotono> "If you'd paid attention in religious classes," Saul murmurs low, "Demons usually don't turn to undead. That was likely a mortal once."
01[21:07] <Seira> "But those were such a waste of time!" she complains. "All that droning on and on while you could actually study something fun!"
[21:09] <Demedais> "Someone who fell from his duty, yes... Hope you have Benign Transposition. If things look dire, I request you use it and immediately pull back; though I am compelled to do this, my duty is first and foremost to make sure everyone survives this. However, if I can do something here..." Demedais murmurs, before stepping forward again, sword and shield ready. (More)
[21:10] <Demedais> "Very well, death knight. I will stand against your measure."
[21:11] <Kotono> With a leap, the death knight propels himself off his nightmare. He lands 20 feet away from Demedais, "Then prepare to face your Father of Lies, dog! I am Teraak Flayflesh, Knight of Demogorgon! I shall feast on your heart and shatter your marrow to the four howling winds!" OOC: Init. I'll call for more inits if it turns out other people get involved.
06[21:11] * Alicia reluctantly backs off to give them some room, keeping a wary eye on the wyverns of dubious parentage. Regardless of how the fight goes, she has little doubt that all hell will break loose upon its conclusion. "Give him a quick death, Demedais."

[21:21] <Kotono> OOC: Immunity to fear covers it, carry on.
06[21:21] * Demedais nods slightly. "Alright, then. And a rebuttal..." With that, he charges in, aiming for a powerful sweep at the chest of the death knight!

[21:24] <Kotono> Demedais goes blade to scythe with Teraak Flayflesh, the two pressing together, face to face! "Your power is meaningless here, dog! Even Helm's light comes here to wither and die! What hope do you have, a tired human, to overcome this?"
[21:24] <Kotono> With that, his scythe strikes out again and again and again!

[21:27] <Kotono> Dueling back and forth, the scythe of the death knight slices into Deme's arm! As blood trickles down, the eyes of the knight blaze with green fire! "First blood is mine." OOC: Deme.

06[21:30] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+13 have I? and gets 14." [1d20=1]

06[21:31] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+20 and gets 27." [1d20=7]
[21:31] <Kotono> "I have..." Donald murmurs, "An old, old, old story about a knight who fell from Helm's graces in a slaughter. There's not much on it - we're talking God-King old, if not older."

06[21:32] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+15  and gets 27." [1d20=12]
06[21:32] * Demedais grins slightly despite the hit. "That's fine. All I wanted was the one blow to start things off..." With that, his boots glow slightly as he tenses up, before quickly lancing out with a mighty blow aimed at the opponent's chest again! "So let's see how this set of blows goes, Teraak."
[21:33] <Kotono> "That...I remember a tale I read in one of the books Demedais brought back..." Pollyanna whispers, "A fallen knight who disgraced an entire church..."

[21:38] <Kotono> With that blow the death knight staggers back! Hissing he glares at Threadsplitter like a baleful hatred, "Your sword wounded me...burn in the hateful fires of the Abyss, dog!" With that, a dreadful fire of howling screams erupts out from the death knight, engulfing Demedais! OOC: Reflex. It's an Su so no SR.
[21:39] <Demedais> OOC: Is it an area effect?

[21:40] <Demedais> OOC: Yep. Divine Oracle.
[21:41] <Kotono> The storm of fire leaves a howling agony of burning death around Demedais! It screams to the sky and vanishes, yet Demedais walks out of it untouched! OOC: Go.
[21:43] <Demedais> For his part, Demedais seems a bit surprised at the attack, but doesn't hesitate to step inward! "I, ah, -hate- to say it, but that was perhaps not your best move..." With that, he lashes out four times, each trying to seek out - or make - a gap in his defenses!

[21:49] <Kotono> Demedais plunges his blade into the death knight! It's breastplate breaks into a blazing white fire, melting down it's bony ribs like fire! Demedais' sword glows a hot white light, a word coming from Demedais's mouth unbidden! "BEGONE." (More)
[21:52] <Kotono> Teraak Flayflesh staggers back, a hand clutching it's nearly destroyed ribs. "Think not...that I will forgive this, dog!" In an instant Teraak Flayflesh is gone, the wyverns howling with fury, pouncing ahead at the party! OOC: Go ahead and roll init everyone.

[21:56] <Kotono> OOC: Go ahead and go, Polly.

[21:57] <Kotono> OOC: Wyvern 6 then, say.
[21:58] <Kotono> "Here they come...!" Donald readies his shield, "Nice that the warmup's over...come on, dragons or not, you're all dead!"

[22:11] <Kotono> The black, greasy miasma strikes, but barely even phases the hardy warriors!
[22:14] <Alicia> Latha decides turnabout is fair play, moving forward amongst the wyverns but also denying the group the benefit of her holy aura as she gets enough range to avoid hurting Demedais or Pollyanna with the sound of her beautiful voice as she calls out Celestia's judgement upon the wyverns!

06[22:32] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+27 -8pa divine might 4th level arcane strike and gets 31." [1d20=4]

[22:33] <Kotono> Both wyverns are greviously wounded, whirling blade cutting through them like misty silk! OOC: Antenora.
[22:33] <Alicia> Taking wing, Antenora flies over to pounce on Seira's target, her spear jabbing viciosuly down to impale its head!
[22:33] <Alicia> roll 1d20+25 -8pa charge
06[22:33] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+25 -8pa charge and gets 44." [1d20=19]

06[22:34] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+25 -8pa charge crit check and gets 34." [1d20=9]
[22:34] <Kotono> OOC: It is a crit.
[22:34] <Kotono> OOC: It counts as an outsider as it's a half fiend, sooo.
[22:35] <Alicia> roll 4d8+164+2d6+2d10
06[22:35] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 4d8+164+2d6+2d10 and gets 200." [4d8=8, 2, 6, 6][2d6=6, 1][2d10=4, 3]
03[22:35] * Kotono changes topic to 'Pollyanna=Wyvern 5(25)>Wyvern 1(23)>Wyvern 4(P;22)>Wyvern 3(P; 21)>Latha(19)>Saul(18)>Demedais=Donald(14)>Seira(11)>Alicia=Antenora(10)'
[22:35] <Kotono> Seira charges in and lands a solid blow, followed by Antenora plunging her spear into it's back, ripping it's spine apart! It plummets to the ground, dead and gone! OOC: Pollyanna and the 5th wyvern.
[22:36] <Kotono> The wyvern screetches, soaring ahead to Demedais!
[22:36] <Kotono> roll 1d20+27
06[22:36] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+27 and gets 41." [1d20=14]
[22:36] <Kotono> But the Fifth Resort flies up, stopping it's looming stinger cold! OOC: Polly.
[22:37] <Demedais> Pollyanna grimaces and steps back, aiming at the wyvern antagonizing her and letting loose a set of arrows!
[22:37] <Demedais> OOC: Wyvern 1
[22:38] <Kotono> OOC: Right.
[22:38] <Demedais> roll 1d20+27
[22:38] <Demedais> roll 1d20+27
06[22:38] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+27 and gets 35." [1d20=8]

[22:39] <Kotono> Shot full of force arrows and already wounded, the first wyvern lies still and dead as well! OOC: Next two are paralysed. Latha.
[22:40] <Alicia> Latha finally takes the time to use her mace, whirling around and descending upon the wyvern attacking Demedais with a punishing overhead smash!
[22:40] <Alicia> roll 1d20+25 -5pa flying
06[22:40] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+25 -5pa flying and gets 42." [1d20=17]
[22:40] <Kotono> OOC: Hit.
[22:40] <Alicia> roll 1d8+22+2d6
06[22:40] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d8+22+2d6 and gets 30." [1d8=1][2d6=4, 3]
[22:41] <Kotono> The wyvern buckles in the air, smashed heavily and wobbling about under the blow! OOC: Saul.
[22:41] <Alicia> OOC: +1 forgot the boost to damage from GMW
01[22:42] <Seira> Saul decides to also attack the wyvern harrassing Demedais, drawing a trio of darts and imbuing them with destructive arcane might before sending them along their way!
01[22:42] <Seira> roll 1d20+6 ranged touch, into melee, empty slot from lesser wish
06[22:42] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+6 ranged touch, into melee, empty slot from lesser wish and gets 8." [1d20=2]
[22:43] <Kotono> Saul fires the arcane darts, powerful magic crackling in them! However he narrowly misses, the wyvern somehow avoiding! OOC: Not Saul's day. Deme and Donald. Go ahead and go, Deme.
01[22:43] <Seira> OOC: Actually 9, but yeah
06[22:43] * Demedais grimaces, turning to the wyvern attacking him and lashing out with a series of sweeping cuts!
[22:44] <Demedais> roll 1d20+30 (+6 Law +1 Haste -2 PA)
[22:44] <Demedais> roll 1d20+30 (+6 Law +1 Haste -2 PA)

[22:44] <Kotono> OOC: Two hits.
[22:44] <Demedais> roll 4d6+38
06[22:44] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 4d6+38 and gets 52." [4d6=2, 3, 4, 5]
[22:44] <Kotono> With that, the last moving wyvern is cut down, belly sliced open as it crashes to the lumpy ground! OOC: Free act, the last two are paralysed.
[22:45] <Kotono> Antenora nods to Seira, then, "Everyone alright?"
06[22:45] * Demedais exhales, before tapping himself to heal off the damage the scythe inflicted. "Injured some, but otherwise fine."
[22:45] <Alicia> "Well fought, Demedais," Alicia gives the Helmite an approving smile as she relaxes, while Latha starts tending to the wounded.
[22:45] <Kotono> Donald proceeds to go very stabby on the wyvern he's next to, finishing it off. "Yeah, I'm fine. Hey Demedais, what was that about? Religiuos tussle?"
[22:45] <Alicia> roll 2d8+10 for Alicia
06[22:45] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 2d8+10 for Alicia and gets 19." [2d8=2, 7]
[22:46] <Alicia> roll 2d8+10 for Latha
06[22:46] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 2d8+10 for Latha and gets 26." [2d8=8, 8]

[22:46] <Alicia> roll 1d8+5 for Seira
06[22:46] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d8+5 for Seira and gets 13." [1d8=8]
06[22:46] * Seira shrugs. "They weren't much, after all. And hey, just because Demedais kicked that guy's sorry ass let's not forget to summon some help?"
[22:46] <Kotono> Pollyanna exhales, a hand over her chest. "I think so. Teraak Flayflesh is an old enemy of the church of Helm. It was Helm's will we crossed paths with him."
[22:47] <Demedais> "I think Pollyanna knows more of it than I do, honestly. Sounded like she remembered the story better than I." Demedais nods to her slightly, before raising up his sword. "Think it explains this lingering, too."
[22:47] <Demedais> OOC: Lesser Restoration self, +1 con remove. Do I need to roll it?
[22:47] <Kotono> OOC: No.
[22:47] <Alicia> "Likele he'll have been scared off by that and won't return soon," Alicia agrees with Seira.
[22:47] <Kotono> "Certainly," Saul murmurs, "Some reinforcements wouldn't go amiss."
06[22:49] * Demedais lets Saul and Seira decide on that as he focuses some on the blade, hefting it slightly to get a sense of any balance shifts.
[22:49] <Kotono> After a moment, "It takes some time to focus and call on the proper names. About ten minutes, all of you will have to watch me so I'm not disturbed as I call on it."
01[22:50] <Seira> "That's what I'm here for!" Seira readily agrees.
[22:51] <Alicia> "I know how it is, Demedais," Alicia gives Demedais a commiserating look, patting Hell Striker which indeed looks far different from how it was when she first found it. "It's often for the best, though, and we can analyze it for any new enchantments in detail when we get home."
[22:51] <Kotono> Antenora takes a watch to the north, "Get casting with haste. The longer we stay put, the more chances we are that we're disturbed."
[22:52] <Kotono> Saul nods, taking out vials and pouches. "Stand back while I draw the circle, all of you." OOC: Going to basically chat and keep watch?
06[22:52] * Demedais nods slightly to this as Alicia speaks. "I believe the changes to be primarily for the better. It... feels like it cuts more surely, based on that last fight."
[22:52] <Demedais> OOC: Yeah, figure Deme will be spotwhoring.
01[22:53] <Seira> "No better time and place for your sword to be sharper, at least?"
[22:53] <Demedais> "Indeed."
[22:54] <Kotono> About five minutes pass as Saul works. It's easy enough to see - about 40 feet away, one of the cyst-hills abruptly shudders and bursts! Pouring out from it are hundreds of flying dots, a thick buzzing sound! They cluster together like a horrifying swarm, beginning to approach towards the party!
[22:55] <Alicia> Antenora and Latha are quick to respond with a holy smite and flame strike respectively atop the swarm!
[22:55] <Alicia> roll 10d6 holy smite 22
06[22:55] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 10d6 holy smite 22 and gets 31." [10d6=1, 1, 3, 6, 2, 4, 2, 3, 4, 5]
06[22:55] * Seira throws her own fireball into the mix, just in case it would do any good!
[22:55] <Alicia> roll 15d6 flame strike DC 20
06[22:55] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 15d6 flame strike DC 20 and gets 61." [15d6=5, 4, 4, 4, 2, 6, 5, 2, 4, 1, 6, 3, 4, 6, 5]
[22:55] <Kotono> OOC: Go ahead and resolve, Seira, you guys were on guard.
01[22:56] <Seira> roll 10d6 dc19
06[22:56] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 10d6 dc19 and gets 38." [10d6=4, 5, 3, 3, 3, 6, 6, 3, 4, 1]
[22:56] <Kotono> Flames and holy power leave little of the swarm left, only a few sputtering motes that fall to the ground. Donald looks up, "What was...oh, well done." he murmurs, "Well then!"
[22:57] <Alicia> "Very well done," Alicia seconds agreeably.
01[22:57] <Seira> "Bees are horrible, so it's pretty neat we burned them all till they died from it."
06[22:57] * Demedais watches the light show impassively, a slight smile on his face as the final ones fall. "Right."
[22:59] <Kotono> "Barely even a ripple," Saul manages around arcane words, getting back to work! After ten minutes in total, the circle is complete! He calls in draconic and celestial, in words of long forgotten might! A mote of white gathers in the circle, expanding out! A beautiful angel, crimson red hair long and also with long bangs covering one eye, floats in the air. A mace is in one hand, delicate, silk-like robes of white worn. In a voice like lyrical
[23:00] <Kotono> A mace is in one hand, delicate, silk-like robes of white worn. In a voice like lyrical celebrations, "In the name of the Mother of Trade, you have called me to the Abyss? What profit to the light can be done here?"
01[23:01] <Seira> "Once we're done, there'll be one less balor around," Seira voices, coming closer. "Is that enough, or should I keep on going?"
[23:02] <Kotono> Saul clears his throat, stepping forward as he leans on his quarterstaff. "We seek your aid in vaniquishing the balor Gurlan. He has done great wrong to two of Waukeen's mortal represnatives on the Prime Material Plane. His defeat will be a blow against his Abyssial master, Demogorgon."
[23:02] <Alicia> It's a divine servant of Waukeen, so Alicia leaves it to the mortal servants of same to convince it, keeping her eyes open for any further demon reprisals.
06[23:02] * Demedais glances over to the angel appraisingly, before looking back out over the plane warily.
[23:03] <Kotono> As the others watch, the sky begins to darken. Abruptly, thunderclouds form out of nothingness, blocking the sky. Even as thunder is begun to be heard, "I understand...I feel the endless malice of the Abyss like a noose around my neck. But the sacred laws of summoning cannot be so easily discarded. In return for this service, I bid you to tithe 5% of your earnings of this righteous mission to the Golden Goddess."
[23:03] <Kotono> this righteous mission to the Golden Goddess."
[23:04] <Kotono> "If there are any objections," Saul looks back very briefly.
[23:04] <Alicia> roll 1d20+22 planes, anything special about abyssal thunderstorms I need to know?
06[23:04] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+22 planes, anything special about abyssal thunderstorms I need to know? and gets 32." [1d20=10]
06[23:05] * Demedais gestures to Saul in assent, still keeping his eyes out for interference as his glance travels up to the thunderstorm.
06[23:05] * Seira doesn't really have a problem with showing her appreciation to Waukeen in a monetary fashion from time to time.
[23:06] <Kotono> "We accept." Saul nods quickly, "Come, let our agreement be sealed and let us make haste. We must hurry to defeat Gurlan before we drown in his minions and dark magics."
[23:06] <Alicia> "Weather's about to take a nasty turn..." Alicia remarks queasily, pulling her hood up and drawing her wings close.
[23:07] <Demedais> "This is annoying." Demedais murmurs.
[23:07] <Demedais> "A thunderstorm at this point in the journeyt
[23:07] <Kotono> The circle glows briefly and burns into the ground, the astral deva stepping out. "I am Agathaiel, Golden Wing of Waukeen. Let us make haste."
[23:07] <Demedais> OOC: Strike
[23:08] <Demedais> "A thunderstorm at this point in the journey...?" Demedais grumbles, before turning and nodding to Agathaiel. "Demedais of Helm. And agreed, let's go."
[23:08] <Kotono> roll 1d20+19
06[23:08] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+19 and gets 35." [1d20=16]
[23:08] <Alicia> "Glad to have you aboard," Alicia tells the new astral deva distractedly, starting to walk onwards.
01[23:08] <Seira> "Agathaiel?" she asks with a smile. "I'm Seira. Nice to meet you!"
[23:09] <Kotono> "Demedais of Helm..." With a look to Demedais, "I have heard that...The name Seira as well. Famous company."
[23:10] <Kotono> "WE'll be more famous after we mount Gurlan's head on a pike," Donald looks up to the black sky, "Wonderful. How bad are the thunderstorms in the Abyss?"
06[23:10] * Demedais keeps an eye on the thunderclouds. "Let's hope we don't learn firsthand?"
[23:11] <Alicia> "Depends on the layer. Here I'd bet on it raining diseased-filled pus and other foul muck," Alicia replies, hood up and head down as she presses on.
01[23:11] <Seira> "Oh, we so will," Seira mutters to herself, following Alicia's guidance and wrapping her cloak ever-closer to her body.
06[23:11] * Demedais adjusts his helmet, nodding as the group advances.

[Corwin]

[19:35] <Tiny_Ko_Army> <Alicia> "Weather's about to take a nasty turn..." Alicia remarks queasily, pulling her hood up and drawing her wings close.

[19:35] <Tiny_Ko_Army> * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+19 and gets 35." [1d20=16]
[19:35] <Tiny_Ko_Army> <Alicia> "Glad to have you aboard," Alicia tells the new astral deva distractedly, starting to walk onwards.
[19:35] <Tiny_Ko_Army> <Seira> "Agathaiel?" she asks with a smile. "I'm Seira. Nice to meet you!"

[19:35] <Tiny_Ko_Army> <Alicia> "Depends on the layer. Here I'd bet on it raining diseased-filled pus and other foul muck," Alicia replies, hood up and head down as she presses on.
[19:35] <Tiny_Ko_Army> <Seira> "Oh, we so will," Seira mutters to herself, following Alicia's guidance and wrapping her cloak ever-closer to her body.
[19:35] <Tiny_Ko_Army> * Demedais adjusts his helmet, nodding as the group advances.
[19:38] <Tiny_Ko_Army> As the party continues to walk for the next half hour, the stormclouds above crackle and shimmer. They grow thicker and darker, concentrating overhead. The wind takes a howling, mournful cry as you advance, whipping about. Yet nothing comes down, not quite yet. But as you walk along...OOC: Deme, you're on point. Would you make a spot check?
03[19:39] * Tiny_Ko_Army sets mode: +o Demedais
[19:39] <Demedais> roll 1d20+27
06[19:39] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+27 and gets 41." [1d20=14]
01[19:41] <Seira> roll 1d8+5 S
[19:41] <Demedais> "We have an approaching guest... ...a floating... thing? Creature? With... ...it's holding up a white flag." Demedais finishes, staring at it as he gestures toward it slightly.
01[19:41] <Seira> roll 2d8+10 D
[19:43] <Tiny_Ko_Army> "I doubt that's Gurlan surrendering," Antenora peers ahead herself, holding a hand up to shield her face from the foul wind, "A quasit or some such?"
[19:43] <Demedais> "It's tiny, green and winged." Demedais shrugs.
06[19:47] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d8+5 S and gets 12." [1d8=7]
06[19:47] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 2d8+10 D and gets 23." [2d8=8, 5]
06[19:47] * Alicia mutters a spell, gesturing before herself before she looks up in the direction indicated, a hand going to her blade.
[19:47] <Alicia> OOC: heroism cast
[19:47] <Alicia> "A disposable messenger," Alicia snorts, annoyed that the only demons they meet on this journey are the ones deliberately sent after them. It points towards Gurlan being too well prepared.
01[19:47] <Seira> roll 2d8+10 D2
06[19:47] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 2d8+10 D2 and gets 18." [2d8=2, 6]
01[19:47] <Seira> roll 1d8+5 P
06[19:47] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d8+5 P and gets 9." [1d8=4]
[19:48] <Tiny_Ko_Army> As the party prepares, the creature comes forward. A quasit with a white flag approaches closer, calling, "I come in peace," it says in Common, "Bearing a message of interest to you, mortals!"
[19:49] <Alicia> "Speak it, then," Alicia commands, willing to listen but not about to get sidetracked.
[19:49] <Tiny_Ko_Army> Agathaiel holds back, gaze cool and distant.
[19:51] <Tiny_Ko_Army> "My master, son of the Dread Demon Lord Graz'zt, shares emnity with Gurlan, dog of Demogorgon." The creature flies to within 50 feet, speaking sweet, cast down words. "As our interests are the same, he wishes to ensure that we do not interfere with each other's affairs in Greenrot."
06[19:52] * Alicia is about to tell the quasit that they should stay out of their way, then, but hesitates a second - this is Seira's vendetta, after all.
06[19:54] * Demedais also hangs back at this, letting Pollyanna come up next to him as he watches coolly.
[19:55] <Tiny_Ko_Army> Antenora has her spear in hand, gazing ahead with a cold, unblinking glare.
01[19:55] <Seira> That's nice, Seira muses, but she lacks any interest in Greenrot's affairs beyond the forcible removal of Gurlan's head from his shoulders. "We go trash the dog of Demogorgon, you go... and do whatever it is you do here?" she asks the quasit. "Don't care much. Was there anything else?"
[19:56] <Tiny_Ko_Army> "An offer of aid." The quasit bobbles in the air, "The storm coming is a fearsome one, a fatal one. My Master offers his hospitality so that you may prepare, rest and come closer to the Green Castle without enduring it."
06[19:56] * Seira involuntarily casts her gaze towards the skies at that.
[19:57] <Tiny_Ko_Army> The sky is dark and burbling with terrible clouds. The winds smell of death and rotten meat, the ground below quivering, almost in anticipation.
06[19:57] * Alicia isn't going to even risk the possibility of acceptance on this matter. "We can look after ourselves," she interjects. They can teleport beyond its scope if they have to.
06[19:57] * Demedais keeps his own eyes focused on the mephit, attempting to ascertain its honesty as the rest of the group talks.
06[19:58] * Seira returns her attention to the quasit, smiling politely. "Was there anything else?" she repeats.
[19:58] <Tiny_Ko_Army> OOC: You can roll sense motive if you like, Deme.
[19:58] <Tiny_Ko_Army> "Turn down my master's aid at your own peril, mortals!" With that it turns and flies away as fast as it's little wings can carry it.
[19:58] <Demedais> roll 1d20+22
06[19:58] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+22 and gets 40." [1d20=18]
[19:59] <Alicia> OOC: on our travels have we seen any caves/structures?
[19:59] <Demedais> "While I understand your reasons, Alicia, it was being honest, I think. We should find cover or shelter quickly." Demedais notes.
[19:59] <Tiny_Ko_Army> OOC: No, just the endless cyst-hills.
[19:59] <Tiny_Ko_Army> As it flies away, "I don't like this," Antenora says in low words, speaking softly.
[20:00] <Tiny_Ko_Army> Latha looks to the sky, "I fear Demedais is right. The Abyssial storm promises to be a fearsome one, doubtless."
[20:00] <Tiny_Ko_Army> "It's the Abyss," Donald grunts, "Is there ANYTHING to like, let alone the inhabitants?"
[20:00] <Alicia> "It was being honest as far as it knew. It's master surely wouldn't have told it his full intentions," Alicia replies. "I can teleport us along - the storm can't encompass the entire layer. Or we could simply flee to another plane if necessary and wait it out before returning to this spot."
01[20:00] <Seira> "We could always teleport away, have a good fight with whatever defenses that triggers, and rest," Seira suggests.
[20:01] <Demedais> "Either one would be more optimal than just letting it rain on us, yes." Demedais nods slightly. "Whatever that rain may be."
[20:01] <Tiny_Ko_Army> "I wonder..." Antenora looks to the sky, "I can understand Gurlan's dogs finding us - he rules the layer. But how would a spawn of Graz'zt find us quickly and effectively, or even know we were coming and react fast enough?"
01[20:02] <Seira> "Scrying?" Seira muses out loud.
[20:02] <Alicia> "Gurlan's only a balor, not a true demon lord - he doesn't rule nearly as much as he might think," Alicia remarks darkly. "And if he knows our location, so too do any of Grazzt's spies in his midst."
[20:03] <Tiny_Ko_Army> Above the clouds crackle, a massive black bolt of lightning the size of a small house flitting from cloud to cloud.
[20:03] <Demedais> "The Abyss hates anything and everything in it, I confess I can't be shocked. Alternately, scrying; I wouldn't be able to tell right now. But can we get moving soon?"
[20:03] <Tiny_Ko_Army> "That is true. Psft." Antenora tries to smile, the lack of light making it sinister, "I see possible conspiracies in every action. Let's worry about shelter then?"
01[20:04] <Seira> "My vote's for teleportation, and only then a plane shift if that fails," Seira states. "Rope trick wouldn't be comfortable, anyway. Let's try this now?"
06[20:04] * Alicia unfurls the portable hole. "Latha, Agatha, could you two climb in here? I'll start teleporting us to the horizon to the Northwest. If we haven't escaped the storm in three jumps we can retreat to another plane instead."
[20:04] <Tiny_Ko_Army> Latha and Agathaiel do so, "Agatha..." The latter astral deva faintly smiles, "Mortals so love to shorten my name."
06[20:05] * Alicia has the good grace to look embarrassed. "Sorry, it's a bad habit I picked up from my familiar," she apologises, teleporting the group to the horizon a moment later.
[20:05] <Alicia> roll 1d100 studied carefully
06[20:05] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d100 studied carefully and gets 24." [1d100=24]
[20:07] <Tiny_Ko_Army> Woosh! You appear on rolling, cystic hills! The couds above scream with windy fury, as a vast lightning bolt slams down from the clouds to the appearing party! As it hits, the ground erupts, a spray of vile pus enveloping them! OOC: Ref for the bolt, fort for the pus everyone. LAtha and Agathaiel are in the hole and exempt.
[20:07] <Alicia> roll 1d20+19 reflex
06[20:07] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+19 reflex and gets 23." [1d20=4]

[20:08] <Tiny_Ko_Army> roll 1d20+11 Donald Ref
06[20:08] * Hatbot --> "Tiny_Ko_Army rolls 1d20+11 Donald Ref and gets 23." [1d20=12]
[20:08] <Tiny_Ko_Army> roll 1d20+19 Donald fort
06[20:08] * Hatbot --> "Tiny_Ko_Army rolls 1d20+19 Donald fort and gets 26." [1d20=7]

01[20:08] <Seira> roll 1d20+21 fort

06[20:08] * Hatbot --> "Tiny_Ko_Army rolls 1d20+24 Antenora ref and gets 41." [1d20=17]
[20:08] <Tiny_Ko_Army> roll 1d20+ whatever Antenora fort
06[20:08] * Hatbot --> "Tiny_Ko_Army rolls 1d20+ whatever Antenora fort and gets Error: Check syntax." [1d20=3]
[20:08] <Demedais> roll 1d20+24 fort Deme
06[20:08] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+24 fort Deme and gets 37." [1d20=13]
01[20:09] <Seira> roll 1d20+6 ref Saul
06[20:09] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+6 ref Saul and gets 15." [1d20=9]
01[20:09] <Seira> roll 1d20+10 fort Saul
06[20:09] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+10 fort Saul and gets 16." [1d20=6]
[20:09] <Tiny_Ko_Army> roll 1d20+13 ref Polly
06[20:09] * Hatbot --> "Tiny_Ko_Army rolls 1d20+13 ref Polly and gets 15." [1d20=2]
[20:09] <Tiny_Ko_Army> roll 1d20+11 fort Polly
06[20:09] * Hatbot --> "Tiny_Ko_Army rolls 1d20+11 fort Polly and gets 18." [1d20=7]
[20:10] <Tiny_Ko_Army> roll 16d6 half electric half non typed, DC was 26 for the ref save.
06[20:10] * Hatbot --> "Tiny_Ko_Army rolls 16d6 half electric half non typed, DC was 26 for the ref save. and gets 63." [16d6=3, 6, 6, 4, 4, 4, 4, 3, 2, 1, 6, 1, 6, 1, 6, 6]
[20:11] <Tiny_Ko_Army> The blast leaves the party charred and soaked in foulness, Donald sputtering, "What the...What sort of Tymora accursed luck is that?"
[20:11] <Tiny_Ko_Army> Antenora wobbles, "Not luck...I refuse to believe that was luck..."
[20:12] <Demedais> "..." Demedais, standing untouched after stepping just out of range, blinks. "I... think plane stepping may be slightly saner if this is how the plane reacts. Regardless, we can't stay here; the storm's already active here."
[20:12] <Tiny_Ko_Army> Pollyanna looks at her soaked armor and screams. She staggers back, "Get this off me! Water, someone water!"
[20:13] <Alicia> "It was too sudden to be deliberate," Alicia spits and wipes her face on her arm, looking around to get her bearings and see if any landmarks are visible. "Beshaba smiles on us."
[20:13] <Tiny_Ko_Army> The cystic hills stretch on as far as you can see at first, but on the dim horizon, you can see some sort of edifice rising.
06[20:14] * Demedais whips his head around, before beginning to fumble quickly for water on the side of his pack. "Seira, you have that create water skill, no? Rinse her off quick, please!"
01[20:14] <Seira> With a snap of her fingers, Seira rinses those soaked, using the lion's share on Pollyanna.
06[20:14] * Alicia marks the edifice in her mind, knowing it'll be the target of her teleport when they return. She hands Demedais her decanter of endless water, "The command word is Ixywen," she tells him before opening the hole for the devas.
[20:15] <Tiny_Ko_Army> The water washes the filth from Pollyanna. She buckles and falls to her knees, "Helm...Helm...Protect us...everything here is so wrong!"
[20:15] <Tiny_Ko_Army> Saul smiles with a shaking face, "Let us make action before another bolt can finish us."
06[20:16] * Demedais grunts and hands the decanter back to Alicia. "Thanks." Heading over to Pollyanna and helping her up, "Let's. This is just... annoying."
[20:17] <Tiny_Ko_Army> Donald looks to Pollyanna, going to help her up as well. "It is...I want to throw up and go home. I can't even think of anything stupid to say after that."
[20:17] <Alicia> "Latha, can you take us to Ysgard? We can try returning here later, and it will soothe our wounds," Alicia asks, still looking at that edifice in the distance. An outpost, or the green castle itself?
[20:17] <Tiny_Ko_Army> OOC: Spot, Alicia.
[20:17] <Alicia> roll 1d20+3
06[20:17] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+3 and gets 6." [1d20=3]
[20:18] <Tiny_Ko_Army> Latha gathers everyone in a loose circle, winds howling about you. "If there is nothing else, we can go as soon as we are all ready."
[20:18] <Alicia> "Lets go. We can come back and check if it's safe in an hour," Alicia nods grimly, looking forward to cleaning herself off once they're out of the Abyss.
[20:19] <Tiny_Ko_Army> Woosh! The party vanishes. You appear on a rocky outcropping, a slope on a great mountain. Cool-cold air blows, and far below, a vast glacier fed fjord flows. The air is clean, your wounds immediately finding succor.
06[20:20] * Alicia immediately casts a cantrip and starts to clean herself off, before doing the same to everyone else. "Better," she sighs as the muck vanishes under her magic. "Lets rest and eat while we can?"
[20:21] <Tiny_Ko_Army> Saul slumps down, itching his arms. "We may wish to take a little longer than an hour. The more rest, the better."
[20:21] <Tiny_Ko_Army> Pollyanna clings to Demedais, closing her eyes and mouthing a ritual prayer to Helm for strength and vigliance.
06[20:21] * Demedais holds onto Pollyanna as he looks around carefully.
[20:22] <Tiny_Ko_Army> You are on a vast mountain slope, peaks extending to higher than you can see. Below is a glacier fed fjord. A few trees cling to the mountain slope here, but you see nothing else of immediate danger and interest.
[20:22] <Alicia> "It also gives our foes longer to prepare themselves," Alicia retorts. "The day is still young, anyway."
[20:23] <Tiny_Ko_Army> "Demogorgon's already sent a Death Knight and reinforcements. I think that boat has long since sailed the Styx," Antenora sits down, looking downwards to the fjord. "Speaking of him, he was a fallen of Helm?"
[20:25] <Demedais> "Believe so." Demedais confirms.
01[20:25] <Seira> "What with the hatred and the zealotry and the religious symbols? Yep, pretty good guess," Seira agrees.
[20:28] <Tiny_Ko_Army> About a half hour has passed. Most of the party is resting and preparing, the remnants of a meal scattered about. Pollyanna has dozed off, leaning against Demedais. Donald looks up to the sky, quiet. Antenora is in prayer to Mystra. Latha and Agathaiel are quietly talking to one another. It's then that Saul raiseshis voice, fingers itching his arms. "Demedais," he says, "Check Pollyanna's arms."
[20:28] <Tiny_Ko_Army> "Demedais," he says, "Check Pollyanna's arms."
[20:28] <Tiny_Ko_Army> roll 1d20+18
06[20:28] * Hatbot --> "Tiny_Ko_Army rolls 1d20+18 and gets 29." [1d20=11]
06[20:29] * Demedais glances to Pollyanna'
06[20:29] * Demedais glances to Pollyanna's arms worriedly.
06[20:30] * Alicia looks up from the stew she's making. "Turning green?"
[20:30] <Tiny_Ko_Army> Pollyanna's arms have patches of green on them, as if the skin is changing color. As Demedais does that, Saul clears his throat, "Everyone, check your arms." He holds up his arms, patches of green on them. "Exactly. Limbrot."
06[20:31] * Alicia rolls up her sleeves. She hasn't felt itchy, so... At least they have lots of people able to cure exotic diseases, here.
[20:32] <Tiny_Ko_Army> Alicia's arms seem untouched and ungreened.
06[20:32] * Demedais mutters something very low underneath his breath. "Right, I prepared cures for disease - that should cover it?" he mutters, taking off his gauntlets to check his hands beforehand.
[20:32] <Tiny_Ko_Army> Demedais' arms seem to be fine. Meanwhile, "I'm fine," Donald says, Antenora checking hers over. "No Limbrot here."
06[20:33] * Seira should be fine, but sees no problem with checking, just in case.
[20:33] <Tiny_Ko_Army> No Limbrot on Seira, either.
06[20:34] * Demedais mutters again and first tries healing Pollyanna, a frown on his face. "Hate these damned places so much..."
[20:35] <Tiny_Ko_Army> Antenora walks over as Demedais banishes the green from Pollyanna's arms. "The Abyss is the worst place in the multiverse."
[20:35] <Alicia> At worst they can always amputate and fresh healthy limbs will grow right back in this place. But she's in no hurry to suggest it while other avenues remain.
06[20:35] * Demedais nods slightly and heads over to Saul, incanting the same spell.
[20:37] <Tiny_Ko_Army> The green vanishes from Saul's arms. He nods slightly to Demedais, "My thanks." Sitting back down now, "So Demogorgon has laid his hand open to protect Gurlan, eh? Maybe it's not for us...if this son of Graz'zt is true and not the dreck of a quasit, there may be another angle to this besides our crusade."
[20:38] <Alicia> "So he's having to rely on forces granted to him by his patron to protect against said patron's nemesis in order to stall us, his own resources insufficient?" Alicia muses. "I suppose that's flattering."
[20:38] <Demedais> "Seems logical. Which means the pressure on him is mounting quite quickly."
[20:40] <Tiny_Ko_Army> "Demogorgon and Graz'zt are ancient enemies. Proxy against proxy for influence in another layer of the Abyss." Antenora's prayers slow and cease before she speaks to all, "I wonder if in a few years a spawn of Graz'zt or a thrall of Graz'zt will rule Greenrot, should we succeed?"
01[20:41] <Seira> "I don't really care. Does anyone here?"
[20:41] <Tiny_Ko_Army> "Can't say I do," Donald lies back, staring up at the sky again.
[20:42] <Alicia> "Then of course there's our slaadi friend who'll hopefully be causing quite the fuss... though I can't help but hope he doesn't progress to far before we're done with our part," Alicia reflects, smiling faintly as she stirs her cookpot. "And not particularly, Seira. Anyone actually wanting that cesspool is welcome to it as far as I'm concerned."
[20:42] <Tiny_Ko_Army> "Our friend Gurlan seems to have been dealt a bad hand today." Agathaiel speaks in words, "Let's cash in on this and end him."
[20:44] <Tiny_Ko_Army> A few more hours pass in rest. The party has prepared now, recovered, mended and healed.
[20:44] <Alicia> "Okay, Latha will take us to Greenrot. If it's still storming, Agathiel will immediately pull us back here. If not we'll take stock and I'll try to teleport us back on track - works for everyone?" Alicia asks.
01[20:45] <Seira> "No issues!"
[20:45] <Demedais> "Sure." Demedais shrugs slightly. "We don't have any better options."
[20:46] <Tiny_Ko_Army> Thus, Latha calls on the forces of light to teleport you!
[20:46] <Tiny_Ko_Army> roll 5d100
06[20:46] * Hatbot --> "Tiny_Ko_Army rolls 5d100 and gets 328." [5d100=98, 24, 56, 52, 98]
[20:47] <Tiny_Ko_Army> You appear on the rolling cyst hills. The sky above is dark green and foul, but free of clouds. The ground is wet with a strange foulness.
06[20:48] * Demedais looks around warily at the horizon, not trusting magical eyes or storm clouds to not suddenly begin coalescing over them.
06[20:48] * Alicia sighs in relief. "There, we avoided the worst of it and didn't need any dubious demon hospitality," she observes. "Any volunteers for the hole while I teleport us back to where we were?" Going straight to the edifice is likely too risky, she now thinks.
[20:50] <Tiny_Ko_Army> Latha steps forward, as well as Antenora this time.
[20:50] <Alicia> Once the two are into the hole of mystery, Alicia teleports the party back to where they were hit by lightning!
[20:50] <Alicia> roll 1d100 viewed once
06[20:50] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d100 viewed once and gets 18." [1d100=18]
[20:52] <Tiny_Ko_Army> You appear where you were. The ground is scorched with lightning, the sky above an angry green. Ahead of you, you see...it has grown. An edifice seems to have been built on while you were away, a hall stretching ahead and inviting you inside, it's doors held open by stone statue succubi.
[20:54] <Alicia> OOC: the thing that was on the horizon is now big enough for us to clearly see its door/hallway from where we are now?
[20:54] <Tiny_Ko_Army> OOC: Yes.
[20:54] <Alicia> OOC: just how far away is the horizon?
[20:54] <Tiny_Ko_Army> OOC: SEveral hundred feet. It's grooooown.
[20:54] <Alicia> OOC: I normally think of horizon in terms of tens of miles... I see that my teleport shortcut plan was flawed from the start
[20:55] <Tiny_Ko_Army> OOC: The Abyss? Inconsistent, cruel and illogical? Tell me more.
[20:55] <Alicia> "It's not the green castle, I'm not going to go wandering in there - lets go around it?" Alicia suggests, starting onwards.
[20:56] <Demedais> "'kay." Demedais shrugs. "I'll keep an eye on it to make sure nothing comes out toward us - Pollyanna, keep an eye ahead?"
[20:58] <Tiny_Ko_Army> "Understood," Pollyanna takes a breath as the party begins to go around it. It's quite large as you hoof it, working around it a ways. You walk for a half hour, slowly getting around the vast building. It's constructed of green stone, several stories tall. The outside is plain, undecorated. It occasionally seems to start to sink ito the ground, but rebounds out.  OOC: Deme/Polly, since you two have said you're looking around, make spot?
[20:58] <Tiny_Ko_Army>  OOC: Deme/Polly, since you two have said you're looking around, make spot?
[20:59] <Demedais> roll 1d20+27 spot Deme
06[20:59] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+27 spot Deme and gets 36." [1d20=9]
[20:59] <Demedais> roll 1d20+19 spot Polly
06[20:59] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+19 spot Polly and gets 35." [1d20=16]
[21:00] <Tiny_Ko_Army> You're roughly halfway around it, well on your way to bypassing the building. But as yo udo...OOC: More in PM to Deme, sec.
06[21:03] * Demedais pauses slightly. "It's... bending... into itself? What on the Prime...? Those angles, that movement... shouldn't that be technically..." Demedais closes his eyes very briefly. "Okay, that building is giving me headaches. It's probably for the best we didn't go in, but we sure this isn't our target?"
01[21:04] <Seira> "Doesn't really look like it," Seira muses, "but I guess it could've changed?"
[21:04] <Alicia> roll 1d20+22 planes, what does the green castle look like
06[21:04] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+22 planes, what does the green castle look like and gets 28." [1d20=6]
[21:06] <Tiny_Ko_Army> "There's also no antipathy effect," Saul says, "I doubt it's a new Green Castle."
[21:06] <Alicia> "There's no battlements, no fortifications," Alicia shakes her head. "I don't know what this is, but it's not a castle."
[21:07] <Tiny_Ko_Army> "No attacks from it, either. What's the point," Antenora gazes at it, "Why bother?"
06[21:07] * Demedais just shrugs after a moment. "Fine. I'm going to alternate watching this with looking around elsewhere, though. This place is going to give me a headache very quickly."
[21:08] <Tiny_Ko_Army> "It's the Abyss. Let's just hurry and thank the forces that be that it's not hostile," Latha hurries her own stepalong.
[21:09] <Alicia> Alicia's eyes glow blue for a moment as she looks over at the building, wondering if it's just an illusion. Even if they could make a structure magically expand so much, it's a lot of effort just for a distraction.
01[21:09] <Seira> "Maybe it's the place Graz'zt wanted to lend us for the storm?"
[21:10] <Alicia> roll 1d20+23 spellcraft
06[21:10] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+23 spellcraft and gets 31." [1d20=8]
[21:10] <Alicia> "It was the direction the quasit came from," Alicia admits. "Rather showy, though, isn't it? Gurlan must really be losing control to allow such a large enemy structure on his soil."
[21:11] <Alicia> "Or what passes for soil," she adds with a queasy look at the ground.
[21:11] <Tiny_Ko_Army> "Either way...let's just go," Antenora hurries along, "I'd rather get to the business of ending him than pontificate on his realm's politics."
[21:12] <Demedais> "Right."
[21:13] <Tiny_Ko_Army> You walk another half hour, getting around the building. On the other side, it seems tiny, barely of notice at all, unmassive. Thew ay ahead stretches, the hills starting to get smaller.
06[21:14] * Alicia glances back at the now shrunken structure and frowns, before deciding it's just not worth dwelling on. Resolute, she presses on!
01[21:16] <Seira> "What?!"
[21:17] <Alicia> "What?" Alicia looks askance at Seira.
01[21:18] <Seira> "Oh, you are so not gonna believe this," Seira says slowly, coming to an abrupt halt. "Malmuth's capital was pillaged!"
[21:18] <Tiny_Ko_Army> "What?" Pollyanna stops, "Wh..." she blinks, "WHAT?"
01[21:18] <Seira> "I know!"
[21:19] <Alicia> "By who?" Alicia asks in surprise.
01[21:19] <Seira> "What the hell's a remorhaz?!" Seira exclaims.
[21:20] <Tiny_Ko_Army> OOC: K:A if anyone cares to roll.
[21:20] <Demedais> "..." Demedais remains quiet for a moment. "...A... remorhaz? ...Regardless, that's stressing news."
[21:20] <Alicia> roll 1d20+13 sure why not
06[21:20] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+13 sure why not and gets 19." [1d20=6]
[21:20] <Demedais> roll 1d20+6 eh, sure, this Deme has
06[21:20] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+6 eh, sure, this Deme has and gets 16." [1d20=10]
01[21:21] <Seira> roll 1d20+24 I actually have this!
06[21:21] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+24 I actually have this! and gets 31." [1d20=7]
[21:22] <Alicia> "Aren't they just wild animals? Someone had to have been controlling them, surely?" Alicia asks, wondering just what exactly occured there.
[21:23] <Demedais> "...That... from where would such a being have..." Demedais muttered, before rubbing his head. "We can't do anything from here. I realize how shocking this news is, but we really should keep going, finish our job here, and go deal with what we can of that. Ashes and rust..."
01[21:23] <Seira> "Magical beasts, actually," Seira says, calming down somewhat. "Fairly dumb beasts. It has to be coordinated, yes."
[21:23] <Tiny_Ko_Army> "A mastermind? Who has a grudge against Malmuth?" Pollyanna crosses her arms now, "Besides half of the Baronies?"
[21:24] <Alicia> "If the news has just reached Balmuria then it's too late for us to do anything by now anyway, I'd think," Alicia reasons.
[21:25] <Tiny_Ko_Army> "How'd it reach them? On foot or sped up with magic?" Antenora asks, "Do you know that, Seira?"
01[21:25] <Seira> "I don't know anyone who would wish this fate on them," Seira says dubiously, before frowning. "Alright. Here's the deal. The attack happened yesterday, and the city is still being evacuated. Queen Tant escaped, apparently. Commander Oberuth thinks it's up to us if we return, and I think we should do what we can to help."
[21:26] <Alicia> "Evacuated? You mean there's still creatures loose there?" Alicia asks, then more thoughtfully, "And would Malmuth permit our interference?"
[21:27] <Tiny_Ko_Army> "To help a former enemy and make them a friend, I can appreciate," Antenora begins, "But we also seem to have a chance to strike Gurlan hard while he's distracted and spread out."
01[21:28] <Seira> "They explicitely asked for our help. Well, the Guard's help, not specifically ours, although it clearly covers us. Even if it's somehow related to our quest here, and we're being manipulated and diverted, I can't really proceed knowing that this is going on back home."
[21:29] <Alicia> "This is your show, Seira. If you say we go, we go," Alicia nods understandingly. "I've never been to the capital - if Latha plane shifts us to the Prime someone else will have to teleport us there."
[21:29] <Tiny_Ko_Army> "You're the ranking officer," Pollyanna agrees after a moment, "I think it's a hard choice either way, but..."
01[21:29] <Seira> "I've been there, so it's easy enough. Plane shift should land us within range for my ring of teleportation, and Demedais could use it. I'll use my own teleport."
06[21:30] * Demedais looks to Agathaiel with some amount of pity.
[21:30] <Tiny_Ko_Army> Agathaiel smiles, "If you are to put aside this quest for now, the terms of my binding will fade. Should you resume it, I will not object if the summons are recast and the pact renewed."
06[21:31] * Demedais does nod slightly to Seira's comment, however. "Very well. If that's your wish, Seira, let's do this. And thank you for your time thus far, Agathaiel."
01[21:31] <Seira> "Just give me a moment to get all the details?"
06[21:32] * Alicia nods to Seira, looking around to take in the local landmarks to have a good fix on this location for future teleports if they come back.
06[21:34] * Seira nods herself, shaking Agathiel's hand with a smile. "I certainly look forward to getting to know you better," she tells the angel.
[21:35] <Tiny_Ko_Army> "Blessed be you," she shakes the hand, "If that is all, then the pact is undone." A moment later, she is gone.
01[21:36] <Seira> "Right. Then the plan is simple enough. Plane shift to Prime, aiming for Malmuth's capital. I'll take it from there and aim for the outskirts of the city. There, we'll ask to be directed to Queen Tant and see what we can do."
[21:37] <Tiny_Ko_Army> "Let's go then," Latha says, and with that, teleports the party back to the Prime!
[21:37] <Tiny_Ko_Army> roll 5d100
06[21:37] * Hatbot --> "Tiny_Ko_Army rolls 5d100 and gets 215." [5d100=10, 20, 7, 78, 100]
[21:37] <Tiny_Ko_Army> roll 1d9
06[21:37] * Hatbot --> "Tiny_Ko_Army rolls 1d9 and gets 8." [1d9=8]
[21:37] <Tiny_Ko_Army> Woosh! You appear in the cool air of the planes, flat lan dstretching about around you. It's peaceful and serene here, the stentch of death leaving your nostrils with every breath.
[21:38] <Tiny_Ko_Army> From the position of the faint sun above, it's late afternoon.
06[21:39] * Seira doesn't recognize the region, but she hardly needs to. "I can take five along with me, so do we split up and have Demedais use the ring, or try for the same method as in the Abyss?"
[21:40] <Alicia> "Best to keep us all together," Alicia replies, opening up the portable hole.
[21:40] <Tiny_Ko_Army> Latha dutifully enters Alicia's hole.
06[21:41] * Seira aims for the outskirts of the city, where she and Amaryl had traveled a couple of times earlier!
01[21:41] <Seira> roll 1d100 seen casually?
06[21:41] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d100 seen casually? and gets 68." [1d100=68]
[21:42] <Tiny_Ko_Army> All around you is chaos. Ahead the city of Malmuth is in ruin. Buildings are shattered, people fleeing around you. Soldiers carry wounded and rush forward and back, the streets leading from Malmuth a complete clog of people. Cries of pain, worry, fear and sadness all echo around the party.
06[21:43] * Seira seeks out anyone with a commander's patch amidst the soldiers.
06[21:44] * Alicia lets Latha out, eyes widening at the scale of the devastation now made clear. "Just how many were there?" she wonders quietly.
06[21:46] * Demedais feels his eyes widen. "Alicia, Latha, contact me while people are working. I've got the notes that got enchanted; I'm going to go heal who I can while you all sort this out." Without saying anything more, he quickly moves to seek out a medic tent to do what he can.
01[21:47] <Seira> "Donald, those things can melt a weapon that hits them, so take that in mind," Seira says quietly, even as she keeps on searching for an officer to approach.
06[21:48] * Alicia casts a message spell as Demedais runs off so she can contact him at a distance of a few hundred feet wherever he might be, before she follows behind Seira. She's half tempted to take on a disguise to hide her wings, but she'll want full mobility if she's going to fight anything, so it's a waste of a spell.
[21:50] <Tiny_Ko_Army> OOC: Deme, what's the take 10 result on your notes?
[21:50] <Tiny_Ko_Army> The party immediately gets attention - a few people point and sob, a few more crying out. "Saviors! Saviors from above!" Several soldiers are staring, including a few with rank.
[21:52] <Demedais> OOC: 21 HP. Kinda figure it'll cover a good deal that way.
01[21:52] <Seira> "Colonel Seira, Crimson Guard," Seira introduces herself, striding towards the highest-ranking one. "We're answering the call for aid. Is it possible to meet with Queen Tant in due haste?"
[21:52] <Tiny_Ko_Army> OOC: It will, yeah, especially on normal people. Okay.
[21:53] <Tiny_Ko_Army> "The Cr-cr-" The captain gawks, "I have my orders, yes. Follow me," he says immediately, "To Queen Tant."
01[21:53] <Seira> That's just as Seira wishes it.
[21:54] <Alicia> "We're going to see the Queen," Alicia whispers to Demedais, telling them what direction in case they go out of range.
03[21:54] * Alicia is now known as Ebiris
[21:55] <Demedais> "Pollyanna will speak for me for now. I'll remain to tend the wounded until we move to take action." Demedais replies.

[Corwin]

[19:09] <Kotono> <Demedais> OOC: 21 HP. Kinda figure it'll cover a good deal that way.
[19:09] <Kotono> <Seira> "Colonel Seira, Crimson Guard," Seira introduces herself, striding towards the highest-ranking one. "We're answering the call for aid. Is it possible to meet with Queen Tant in due haste?"
[19:09] <Kotono> > OOC: It will, yeah, especially on normal people. Okay.

[19:09] <Kotono> <Seira> That's just as Seira wishes it.
[19:09] <Kotono> <Alicia> "We're going to see the Queen," Alicia whispers to Demedais, telling them what direction in case they go out of range.
[19:09] <Kotono> * Alicia is now known as Ebiris
[19:09] <Kotono> <Demedais> "Pollyanna will speak for me for now. I'll remain to tend the wounded until we move to take action." Demedais replies.
[19:09] <Kotono> OOC: #evil, Deme.
03[19:10] * Alicia sets mode: +o Demedais
[19:11] <Kotono> The party is taken along, out of the devastated city. Hordes of people stare, others merely with their heads down and hurrying. Some carry sacks of goods, clothes and items hauled away in a panic. Guards and soldiers are everywhere, running to and ahead, never standing still. After some time, you come to several large tents outside the city. Here a cluster of soldiers stay, as the setting sun begins to sink towards the horizon and herald Selun
[19:11] <Kotono> soldiers stay, as the setting sun begins to sink towards the horizon and herald Selune's coming. "Stand aside," the captain orders, "I bring the Crimson Guard, as ordered by Her Majesty!"
[19:12] <Kotono> The guards look over the party briefly, before doing just that. The captain nods and breathlessly hurries inside. "Hurry, her Majesty awaits"
[19:12] <Kotono> The guards look over the party briefly, before doing just that. The captain nods and breathlessly hurries inside. "Hurry, her Majesty awaits."
06[19:13] * Alicia takes careful note of the refugees and encampments as they move, figuring out what supplies will be most needed to alleviate conditions in the coming days while the city is reclaimed.
[19:14] <Kotono> Antenora looks about, "Senseless," she says under her breath, "Spawning nothing but misery and chaos."
06[19:14] * Seira is confident that Demedais would do what can be done for the hurt refugees, while eager to prevent more of them by destroying the invaders. She proceeds into the tent at the bidding, ready to greet the Malmutian queen.
[19:16] <Kotono> Pollyanna merely casts her eyes down as you enter into the tent. Here Queen Tant sits, a torn royal dress of sky blue worn. Her eyes are weary, her posture rigid but her eyes are so tired. Four guards stand just in front of her, swords drawn. After a split second, "You may stand down, my loyal soldiers," she commands, "That is the Crimson Guard, as I hoped would come."
[19:17] <Kotono> The soldiers step away slightly, swords sheathed.
01[19:18] <Seira> "We came as soon as we've heard, Your Majesty," Seira voices, bowing before the monarch.
06[19:19] * Alicia bows respectfully but lets Seira handle the talking. She's not going to let the Baronies seem slipshod in this situation.
[19:21] <Kotono> "I thank you." Queen Tant continues now, "For a great crisis has befallen us. Last night, they came from nowhere and everywhere in the center of the city. These creatures, which my learned sages call remorhazes, have gone on a rampage. The city guard has been overwhelmed, with weapons melting into liquid on touching them and arrows failing to wound them. As the battle raged, we called on our magical defenses, yet magic only made them stronger.
[19:21] <Kotono> As the battle raged, we called on our magical defenses, yet magic only made them stronger."
01[19:23] <Seira> "Was it any specific magic, Your Majesty?" Seira asks, shifting into a businesslike mindset at the news. "Or any magic whatsoever, regardless of school, that was used on them?"
[19:24] <Kotono> "Offensive magics such as magic missile and fireball," Queen Tant continues on now, "The sages say this is not of what the studies and legends speak of for remorhazes."
01[19:25] <Seira> "That's why I asked," Seira agrees, frowning. "And being no more than stupid magical beasts, I find it likely that someone altered them in this fashion."
[19:26] <Alicia> "Have they been contained or are they still at large in the city, your majesty?" Alicia asks her most important question. No sense wasting time on relief efforts for the refugees if a horde of the beasts could come pouring out of the walls any moment.
[19:27] <Kotono> "They are still in the city, devastating. We manage to hold them at bay as best we can, but we know not if we can hold them long." With this, "I have sent for aid because we were caught unawares and devastated before we can fight. I ask of you, to save all the people of this city, to slay the foul beasts that have attacked."
01[19:28] <Seira> "Then we'll need to know how many there are, in what way they became strong with the application of magic, and whether there are large clusters of people that should be evacuated remaining in the city."
[19:30] <Kotono> "We estimate a dozen. They become stronger, faster, more hardy. As for evacuations, we believe large clusteres have escaped. However, there are countless refugees surely within, trapped. Also..." After a moment, Queen Tant goes on, face grave. "Twice we have pushed lightly back into the city before being repulsed. The soldiers report that there is magic afoot - for not a single corpse can be seen in the city."
[19:30] <Kotono> for not a single corpse can be seen in the city."
01[19:31] <Seira> Oh that's just swell, Seira thinks, but keeps such thoughts to herself. "Let's see what we can do about the beasties?" she asks the rest of the Guard, glancing at Alicia to see if they need any more information before heading into the city.
[19:32] <Alicia> "There's probably something reinforcing them - you said they came from a single point at the outset, your majesty?" Alicia volunteers. "Colonel, if we could find out where that is, one group could perhaps go to deal with that while another presses in from the outside to begin clearing the streets?" she then turns to Seira as she makes her tactical suggestion, deferring to her commanding officer.
[19:33] <Kotono> "From the center of the city." Queen Tant slightly nods her head, "The exact point is uncertain due to the confusion involved."
01[19:33] <Seira> "So you're thinking that some of us should teleport in?" Seira queries.
06[19:34] * Alicia shakes her head. "Teleporting blindly into such a situation would not be wise. However, some of us are swift fliers, and for all their improvements, there's no indication these remhoraz can take to the sky."
01[19:39] <Seira> "Works for me," Seira agrees after briefly thinking it over. "Do you need anyone beyond Antenora and Latha along with you? I'll lead the other group and rendezvous with you."
[19:41] <Alicia> "We three are the fastest fliers here," Alicia shakes her head.
[19:41] <Alicia> "We'll swing in towards the centre, deal with any spellcasters or any magic that could be empowering the creatures, then swing back to reinforce you - barring any complications on the way," she outlines crisply, a vague half-smile at the mention of surely inevitable complications that will make her simple plan far more difficult in practice.
03[19:42] * Zephyrus (~shivandes@76.177.147.50) has joined #dunes
[19:42] <Kotono> "There's one more thing," Donald speaks up here, "Seira, you mentioned these remorhazes melt weapons before, too. Will they do it to our magical weapons?"
01[19:44] <Seira> "Artifacts cannot be destroyed, and Alicia's blade should be immune as well," Seira responds. "If you're really worried about your sword, however, the magic weapon spell could imbue any mundane weapon with the power to strike at the creatures."
[19:44] <Alicia> A flaming weapon like Hell Striker is surely safe, and Alicia's confident in the enchantments she put on Latha and Antenora's weapons keeping them safe from such paltry heat. "I can empower your blade for you, Donald," she volunteers.
[19:45] <Kotono> "I can do it. As long as you're sure...but hell. Your Majesty," Turning to Queen Tant, "Do you have a few weapons I could borrow? Just in case?"
01[19:46] <Seira> "I'm confident a weapon like your cannot be destroyed in a single strike, especially if imbued by Alicia."
[19:47] <Kotono> "It can be done. Ask the guards outside and they will provide them," Queen Tant says.
[19:47] <Kotono> "Yeah, well..." Donald eyes Alicia and Seira, "I think playing by the odds is already out the window tonight, with the way everything's gone."
[19:49] <Alicia> "We'll be on the safe side," Alicia nods, approaching Donald and incanting her spell. "Mother of all Magic, lend your strength to this blade!" as she touches the hilt of Guardinal. "Now, permission to proceed with our mission, colonel?" she asks Seira formally.
01[19:50] <Seira> "We should be about it," Seira decides with a nod. "Alicia, send out a flare if you need anything? We'll do the same."
[19:51] <Alicia> "Understood," Alicia nods. "Antenora, Latha?" she asks the other two angels to come with her, bowing once more to the Queen before she leaves the tent.
01[19:54] <Seira> "We should move out as well, Majesty," Seira tells Queen Tant. "If you were to assign a contingent of troops to us, then they could lead any survivors we encounter to safety. Would that be possible, under the circumstances?"
[19:55] <Kotono> "It shall be," A nod, "The guards outside will make it so. Travel and fight with my thanks."
01[19:56] <Seira> As she leaves, Seira pauses next to Pollyanna and quietly instructs the archer to fetch Demedais if he is available, and regroup with them by the main entrance to the capital.
[19:57] <Kotono> OOC: Okay. Seira'n'company here, Alicia into #dunes. Deme, I'm going to assume you finish the healing and then Polly comes and gets you. Work?
01[19:57] <Seira> OOC: This. Is. DUNES!
[19:58] <Demedais> OOC: Can Deme get an answer to the question in #e? If so, I'd like to do/have done one thing before heading out.
[19:58] <Kotono> OOC: Okay. And Alicia in #evil, I mean.
[20:12] <Kotono> ----
[20:12] <Kotono> Seira and Demedais gather with a few dozen troops behind them at the gates to Malmuth. The soldiers are about, the last line of defense before you head in. Donald cracks his neck and looks about, "We ready to do this?"
[20:13] <Demedais> "I guess." Demedais says after a moment. "You all have been briefed; I'll follow your leads."
01[20:14] <Seira> "Reasonably so," Seira agrees. "We'll stick to defensive magics unless absolutely necessary, and just cut through the opposition. Simple, elegant, effective. I like it!" And with those words, she sets off into the city.
[20:15] <Kotono> Pollyanna curtly nods, bow out. "Let's go in and do what needs doing," She says, as the setting sun paints everyone red-tinted, following Seira. "My force arrows should be fine too. Just keep them away from me so I can fire safely.
[20:15] <Kotono> "
[20:15] <Demedais> "Got it." Demedais nods, following with Pollyanna and Seira.
[20:18] <Kotono> Thus you proceed into the city, a squadron of soldiers following. Once away from things, everything is...quiet. You walk down a few broad, ruined streets, picking your way through the rubble. It's empty - blood splatters on occasion, but not a single body. Just broken houses and buildings, rubble all over. OOC: Make listen checks, all.
[20:19] <Demedais> roll 1d20+27

06[20:21] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+7 and gets 13." [1d20=6]
06[20:22] * Demedais stiffens for a moment, before glancing to the building. "There's... there might be someone in there." he mutters. "Or something. A crunching sound... crumbling? The building might be starting to fall apart..."
[20:23] <Kotono> The building in question is 3 stories and made of stone, a bit beaten up. It's about 30ft away from you now.
[20:26] <Kotono> Donald looks to it, "Well, if it's going to collapse, shouldn't we get the hell out of the way?"
06[20:26] * Seira doubles the distance between she and the building, before tripling it altogether. "Let's do that. Donald, you go and search it."
[20:27] <Kotono> Donald, Pollyanna and Saul follow Seira, "Coming, Demedais?" Saul asks.
[20:28] <Demedais> "And if there's someone in it?" Demedais grunts. "I can search it instead, if desired. I can heal anyone that's inside, which will make it easier to get people out."
01[20:28] <Seira> "If it doesn't collapse in half a minute, we can search it," Seira says reasonably.
[20:29] <Demedais> "...Very well, Colonel." Demedais says, standing twenty feet away from the rest of the group and nearer to the building as he waits the designated time.
[20:30] <Kotono> As the party talks, the building seems to explode outward! Rubble rains around you, the worst of it falling short! Amid the storm, it comes bursting out! The creature is vast, with several chitinous eyes and long like a snake or a centipede! It's a light, cold blue, it's body hissing with steam as stone melts around it's body! As there is a spray of rubble about all over, the creature advances towards the party! OOC: Roll init, it's hostile an

[20:30] <Demedais> OOC: Er, closer.
[20:31] <Kotono> OOC: Dur, I missed that. Strike my line then.
[20:31] <Kotono> As the party talks and Demedias gets closer, the building explodes outwards! Rubble rains down around Demedais! OOC: Ref, Deme. Radius.
01[20:32] <Seira> OOC: No, no. We've moved back 60ft for a total of 90ft, and Deme's 20ft from US
[20:32] <Kotono> OOC: I'm aware.

06[20:32] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+25 and gets 30." [1d20=5]

[20:33] <Kotono> Amid the storm, it comes bursting out! The creature is vast, with several chitinous eyes and long like a snake or a centipede! It's a light, cold blue, it's body hissing with steam as stone melts around it's body! As there is a spray of rubble about all over, the creature advances towards the party! OOC: Roll init, it's hostile and it wants you very dead.
[20:33] <Kotono> OOC: Go ahead and keep your init, Deme.

06[20:44] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+17 crit check? and gets 24." [1d20=7]

[20:45] <Demedais> roll 6d6+28
06[20:45] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 6d6+28 and gets 52." [6d6=6, 6, 4, 1, 4, 3]
[20:45] <Kotono> Pollyanna peppers it with arrows, leaving twinned holes in it's throat, but yet it lives easily! OOC: Seira.
06[20:48] * Seira darts to the beast's opposite side, tumbling past it in the brief moment that the remorhaz is occupied with Donald. The Resort flashes, and before it could even be fully seen, the weapon is already in motion, seeking to cut off the remorhaz's tail!
01[20:49] <Seira> roll 1d20+23 (flight, flanking?)
06[20:49] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+23 (flight, flanking?) and gets 32." [1d20=9]
[20:50] <Kotono> Seira darts in, but can't quite land a hit on the powerful creature, penetrating past it's outer defenses but unable to score a wound! OOC: Deme.
06[20:51] * Demedais grimaces. "Kch... Let's see if you can manage that again, beast!" Moving quickly, Demedais leans in slightly before lashing out four times against the beast's face, his boots aiding his speed!
[20:52] <Demedais> roll 1d20+23 (+1 Haste -2 CE -1 PA)
[20:52] <Demedais> roll 1d20+23 (+1 Haste -2 CE -1 PA)

06[20:54] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+24 and gets 43." [1d20=19]
[20:55] <Kotono> Demedais hacks into the creature, Threadsplitter glowing white hot as it rips into the remorhaz! It endures, snarling and fighitng along! OOC: Saul.
01[20:56] <Seira> Saul knows that magical spells have only empowered the beast, and his aim with the darts is not so hot, so he decides to heal Donald a bit for the time being.
01[20:56] <Seira> roll 3d8+15 CSW
06[20:57] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 3d8+15 CSW and gets 24." [3d8=3, 2, 4]
[20:57] <Kotono> Stepping forward, Saul heals Donald! OOC: Da BEAST is up.
[20:57] <Kotono> The creature roars, going back down for Demedais and biting again!

06[20:58] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 2d8+55 DR applies at least it lacks improved crit! and gets 64." [2d8=3, 6]
[20:59] <Kotono> Once again it blows past Deme's guard, biting his chest and nearly ripping him in half! It snaps an dtears, dealing grevious wounds! Donald braces down, "Back to Hell with you, monster!"
[21:00] <Kotono> roll 1d20+31 (+1 haste, +2 GMW, +3 1 3rd, 3 2nd)
[21:00] <Kotono> roll 1d20+31 (+1 haste, +2 GMW, +3 1 3rd, 3 2nd)

[21:01] <Kotono> roll 1d20+19
06[21:01] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+19 and gets 31." [1d20=12]
[21:02] <Kotono> Donald's blade glows like a forge tempered rod of iron, sizzing as he ravages the remorhaz, screaming at the top of his lungs! OOC: Polly.
[21:02] <Demedais> Pollyanna grimaces, before firing another volley into the foe!
[21:02] <Demedais> roll 1d20+27
06[21:02] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+27 and gets 29." [1d20=2]

06[21:04] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 3d6+14 and gets 28." [3d6=5, 4, 5]
[21:08] <Kotono> Polly fires again, another wound hit, but the beast isn't giving up even with a third hole in it's long body! OOC: Seira.
06[21:09] * Seira tries to get it to give up, then!
01[21:09] <Seira> roll 1d20+23
06[21:09] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+23 and gets 39." [1d20=16]
01[21:09] <Seira> roll 1d20+18
06[21:09] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+18 and gets 31." [1d20=13]
01[21:09] <Seira> roll 1d20+13

06[21:09] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+14 and gets 23." [1d20=9]

01[21:10] <Seira> roll 3d8+9+5d6
06[21:10] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 3d8+9+5d6 and gets 37." [3d8=8, 3, 1][5d6=4, 2, 5, 1, 4]
[21:10] <Kotono> Seira rips into it's vitals, making it stagger a little more! The beast is seriously wounded, but it yet clings to life! OOC:D eme.
06[21:11] * Seira also decides that what the heck, she might as well call upon Stoneskin's protection. If they still haven't regrouped with Alicia in a couple of hours, something's gone plenty wrong.
02[21:15] * Demedais (~ferixstad@141.218.13.79) Quit (Ping timeout)
03[21:15] * Demedais (~ferixstad@pix013-079.pix.wmich.edu) has joined #dunes
01[21:16] <Seira> Saul decides to test the effects of Spiritual Weapon, summoning a golden disc to strike at the remorhaz's head. If that somehow regenerates the beast, then Saul would naturally claim he intended that all along.
[21:17] <Kotono> OOC: It allows SR so make a cater level check.
[21:17] <Kotono> CAster, even.
01[21:17] <Seira> roll 1d20+15
06[21:17] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+15 and gets 18." [1d20=3]
[21:18] <Kotono> The spell fizzles on touching the remorhaz, it's body glowing with arcane power, wounds somewhat mending! OOC: Deme, you're up.
03[21:19] * Seira sets mode: +o Demedais
06[21:20] * Demedais grumbles slightly at seeing the spell heal him, before invoking divine accuracy and striking at the remorhaz yet again!
[21:20] <Demedais> roll 1d20+27 (+1 Haste +6 Law -5 CE)
06[21:20] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+27 (+1 Haste +6 Law -5 CE) and gets 38." [1d20=11]

06[21:21] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+17 (+1 Haste +6 Law -5 CE) and gets 21." [1d20=4]
[21:21] <Kotono> OOC: Two hits.
[21:21] <Demedais> roll 4d6+30
06[21:21] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 4d6+30 and gets 45." [4d6=4, 5, 5, 1]
[21:22] <Kotono> Demedais hacks into the beast, maiming it as it roars! It's bleeding bad now, but takes his chance to bite Demedais hard!
[21:23] <Kotono> roll 1d20+27 (-20 PA)
06[21:23] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+27 (-20 PA) and gets 29." [1d20=2]
[21:23] <Kotono> But this time, Demedais surges forward! He leaps up, meeting it's mouth in midair and stopping it with his sword, tossing the giant remorhaz back! OOC: Donald.
[21:24] <Kotono> Donald braces in place, hacking and hacking and hacking!
[21:25] <Kotono> roll 1d20+29 (+1 haste, +2 GMW, +1 1 1st level charge)
[21:25] <Kotono> roll 1d20+29 (+1 haste, +2 GMW, +1 1 1st level charge)

06[21:25] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+29 (+1 haste, +2 GMW, +1 1 1st level charge) crit and gets 32." [1d20=3]
[21:25] <Kotono> roll 1d20+19 crit
06[21:25] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+19 crit and gets 37." [1d20=18]
[21:25] <Kotono> roll 4d10+4d4+48
06[21:25] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 4d10+4d4+48  and gets 73." [4d10=3, 3, 3, 4][4d4=3, 3, 4, 2]
[21:25] <Kotono> roll 1d20+19
06[21:25] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+19 and gets 33." [1d20=14]
[21:26] <Kotono> At this savage thrusting over and over, the remorhaz is brought down! It collapses in a thump, shaking the ground as if the Gods fell to the earth! OOC: Free ac.t
[21:27] <Kotono> Donald sags down, "Waukeen and Lathander...okay, time out." He wobbles, "No way. No way this isn't something big. One of those could take out a small army!"
06[21:27] * Seira cuts off the remorhaz's head from its body, just to be on the safe side. "Eleven more to go, was it?" she asks casually. "I figure we have at least five to slay, if we don't want Alicia to take our share. Let's go!"
[21:28] <Demedais> "... Why are we making this a competition, as well?" Demedais notes as he heals himself slightly.
[21:28] <Demedais> roll 4d8+9 CCW sac Neutralize Poison
06[21:28] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 4d8+9 CCW sac Neutralize Poison and gets 26." [4d8=4, 5, 1, 7]
[21:29] <Kotono> "At least one's dead," Pollyanna starts to walk, "Demedais, do you need help? That thing nearly bit you in two!"
01[21:29] <Seira> "We could be horrified at the loss of life instead, or at our opposition. But I'm thinking it's better to just try to kill them all as fast as we can."
[21:30] <Demedais> "I'll heal myself up some as we go." Demedais says, nodding slightly at Seira's comment and healing himself with a spare wand as they begin walking.
01[21:30] <Seira> Saul also helps!
01[21:31] <Seira> roll 4d8+15 CCW/Lesser Planar Ally
06[21:31] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 4d8+15 CCW/Lesser Planar Ally and gets 33." [4d8=7, 1, 4, 6]
[21:33] <Kotono> Thus you continue to walk along a time as night falls. As it does, "You know," Pollyanna says, "We're going to need light sources about now."
01[21:34] <Seira> "Oh right." Seira looks at Pollyanna with badly disguised pity. "I suppose we could grab a torch?"
06[21:35] * Seira looks back at the soldiers bravely accompanying them to see if they could help with that.
06[21:35] * Demedais holds up his sword. "This should be enough light, I think? At least for up front."
[21:35] <Kotono> The soldiers light severa torches, Deme's sword also casting plenty of light to see by.
06[21:36] * Seira takes to the air, herself, deciding that having a vantage point wouldn't hurt.
06[21:37] * Seira is high enough to clear a five story building by ten feet.
[21:40] <Kotono> Thus you continue on. Seira's perspective gives her a good chance to spot ahead as they walk...OOC: Spot check, SEira.
01[21:42] <Seira> roll 1d20+11
06[21:42] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+11 and gets 17." [1d20=6]
[21:44] <Kotono> Thus you walk on ahead for a time in the quiet city. As you do, you pass by a total ruin. This building has been razed to the ground, stones smoking terrifically, everything on the ground around it black.
01[21:45] <Seira> "Hear anything?" Seira calls down to Demedais.
06[21:46] * Demedais listens carefully at this point...
[21:46] <Kotono> OOC: Make a listen check.
[21:46] <Demedais> roll 1d20+27
06[21:46] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+27 and gets 39." [1d20=12]
[21:46] <Kotono> "What happened here?" Pollyanna approaches it, "Looks like something worse than usual occured."
01[21:47] <Seira> "Two of them at once?" Seira ventures, on the lookout but otherwise waiting on Demedais.
[21:49] <Demedais> "...for the love of- Everyone, away from me! It's burrowing up from underneath!" Demedais bellows. "Twenty feet ahead of me, a fair bit under!"
06[21:51] * Seira immediately casts Dancing Blade on the Resort at Demedais's bellow!
[21:52] <Kotono> The rest of the party falls back at this and away from Demedais! A few moments later, the ground in front of Demedais erupts out, stone going everywhere around Deme! OOC: ref, Deme. Good call.
[21:53] <Demedais> roll 1d20+25 I'm presuming area.
06[21:53] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+25 I'm presuming area. and gets 38." [1d20=13]
[21:54] <Kotono> Demedais nimbly predicts the chunks of stone, avoiding each of them with ease! Another remorhaz erupts out 20 feet ahead of Demedais, whirling out of the ground and pouncing towards the party with speed! OOC: Init, they're baaaack.
01[21:54] <Seira> roll 1d20+6
06[21:54] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+6 and gets 14." [1d20=8]

[21:54] <Demedais> roll 1d20+7 Polly
06[21:54] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+7 Polly and gets 18." [1d20=11]
03[21:55] * Kotono changes topic to 'Donald(23)>Demedais(22)>Pollyanna(18)>Saul(14)>Remorhaz=Seira(13)'
[21:55] <Kotono> Donald pounces ahead this time, going to engage it before it can bite him in two!
[21:55] <Kotono> roll 1d20+27 (+2 charge)
06[21:55] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+27 (+2 charge) and gets 41." [1d20=14]
01[21:55] <Seira> OOC: Hey, I rolled 14 too!
[21:55] <Kotono> roll 1d10+12
06[21:55] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d10+12 and gets 21." [1d10=9]

[22:00] <Kotono> Donald's blade hisses terribly as he cuts into it, the edges smelting as it rips into them! OOC: Deme.
[22:02] <Demedais> OOC: How far away is it?
[22:02] <Kotono> OOC: 20ft.
06[22:02] * Demedais grimaces, before charging as well with a wide swing, intent on stalling it there!
[22:03] <Demedais> roll 1d20+17 (+1 Haste -9 CE)
06[22:03] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+17 (+1 Haste -9 CE) and gets 27." [1d20=10]
[22:03] <Kotono> Demedais misses, putting up a powerful barrier of defense instead! OOC: Polly.
[22:04] <Demedais> And that's all Polly needs, quickly aiming at the remorhaz and letting loose a volley!
[22:04] <Demedais> roll 1d20+26
[22:04] <Demedais> roll 1d20+26
06[22:04] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+26 and gets 28." [1d20=2]

[22:05] <Kotono> Pollyanna leaves it full of holes again, scoring solid hits! OOC: Saul'n'Seira

[19:09] <Kotono> Donald is bitten hard, his midsection pressed into and spurts of blood coming freely! He rocks back as he wiggles out of it's mouth, gasping for air and in agony as he withdraws back! OOC: Donald's withdrawing back, his sword's damaged and he's lost a bunch of HP. time to regroup. Deme.

[19:19] <Kotono> Stabbed and set on fire, the remorhaz staggers mightly, thrashing about as it's beaned with an orb of fire, this one not absorbed! OOC: Saul?
01[19:19] <Seira> OOC: Saul holds indefinitely, remember?
[19:20] <Kotono> OOC: Right.
[19:20] <Kotono> This time the wounded remorhaz bites down hard and harder at Seira!
[19:20] <Kotono> OOC: Immediate?

06[19:21] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+27 and gets 31." [1d20=4]
[19:21] <Kotono> Demedais is assailed, but he steps back as the creature completely misses him! OOC: AoO?
06[19:22] * Demedais takes his window of opportunity to strike up at the remorhaz' throat!
[19:22] <Demedais> roll 1d20+24
06[19:22] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+24 and gets 43." [1d20=19]

[19:24] <Kotono> Demedais gets a good solid blow of revenge, wounding it again as meanwhile Donald holds back and defends himself! The beast is shaking and bloodied, wounded terrifically! OOC:D eme.
06[19:24] * Demedais leans in and presses his advantage, lashing out at it four more times to try and finish it!
[19:24] <Demedais> roll 1d20+26
[19:24] <Demedais> roll 1d20+26

[19:25] <Demedais> roll 4d6+30
06[19:25] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 4d6+30 and gets 43." [4d6=4, 2, 2, 5]
[19:25] <Kotono> With a final desperate thrust, Demedais impales the remorhaz through the eye! It thrashes and obliterates thes treet in it's death throes, collapsing down to the ground! OOC: Free act.
01[19:27] <Seira> Scowling, Seira flies up to try and estimate the distance to the spot the monsters have originally emerged from, and thus their group's distance to Alicia.
[19:27] <Kotono> Pollyanna heaves a breath out, "I think we were fighting demons weaker than this! By Helm, why this and why now?"
[19:28] <Kotono> Seira flies up! She's quite a ways away from town center, presumably where Alicia went as she said before.
01[19:28] <Seira> "I don't think Helm's got anything to do with that," Seira mutters, next calculating the time it would take them to reach the capital's center at their present speed.
[19:29] <Kotono> Quite a while. Hourish? Flying is -much- faster and can ignore things ilke road, rubble, being ambushed by giant remorhazes, that sorta thing.
[19:31] <Demedais> "Two down..." Demedais murmurs. "The Resorts seem most efficient at dispatching these things - my weapon and Donald's have taken some heat. In addition, they seem groundbound - it may be that aerial strikes with those orb magics and ranged weapons are the best way to clear the town out..."
06[19:31] * Seira clucks her tongue. It would probably catch Alicia at a bad moment, given their luck today, but she promised a response much sooner than that. Gesturing skywards, she sends a flare straight up!
[19:31] <Kotono> OOC: Listen check, Deme.
[19:31] <Demedais> roll 1d20+27
06[19:31] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+27 and gets 39." [1d20=12]
[19:32] <Kotono> OOC: What spell, Seira, or breath or what?
01[19:32] <Seira> "The orb family of spells has been proven to work where other magic, even of clerical nature, had failed," Seira agrees from where she's hovering in the air. "It's all been useful knowledge."
01[19:32] <Seira> OOC: Flare. It's a cantrip!
[19:33] <Kotono> OOC: Link me real quick?
06[19:33] * Demedais stiffens, looking straight to the right. "I... think I hear a survivor..." Demedais says, before moving to the right. "As in I hear someone speaking this time." OOC: What's to my right? Rubble and ruins?
[19:34] <Kotono> OOC: Yes.
[19:35] <Kotono> As Demedais advances into the stony ruin, he can  hear it clearer, "Help..By Her Majesty...help!" The man's voice is louder as you get closer, "I'm trapped!"
06[19:35] * Demedais grimaces. "Calm down, and move as little as possible so things don't shift. Hold on..." OOC: Can I make listen/spot to try and pinpoint his position?
03[19:35] * Merc (~k@c-98-196-68-69.hsd1.tx.comcast.net) has joined #dunes
[19:36] <Kotono> OOC: Go ahead.
[19:36] <Demedais> roll 1d20+27 spot
06[19:36] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+27 spot and gets 32." [1d20=5]
[19:36] <Demedais> roll 1d20+27 listen
06[19:36] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+27 listen and gets 33." [1d20=6]
01[19:36] <Seira> "If he's not too far, I could swap places with the survivor," Seira calls down to Demedais. "I'll survive even if a building falls on me. Are there more trapped, though?"
[19:36] <Kotono> Donald hangs back, "Saul, can you spare some healing for my wounds? I feel like I was half digested."
[19:37] <Demedais> "I don't know. Sir, are there more with you?" Demedais speaks loudly if calmly, looking for where the man might be.
[19:37] <Kotono> Demedais picks his way into the rubble of a house. Amid it, he can hear it closer and closer, coming from slightly below a large stone slab wall, collapses down. "I hear you...I hear you! I won't move! I'm the only one here. It's dark and I can't move."
[19:38] <Demedais> "Okay." Demedais replies, before glancing to Seira. "That might be the most efficient method of extraction; alternately, I can try to lift it, but I am concerned about what might happen if the wall crumbles as I lift it."
01[19:39] <Seira> Saul heads over to Donald and heals him up some.
[19:39] <Demedais> "Either way, I can lift it and you're good at getting through tight spaces, so... that would probably be optimal, yes."
01[19:39] <Seira> OOC: Gembomb -> CMW, CLW x4
[19:40] <Kotono> OOC: Okay, roll 'em.
01[19:40] <Seira> roll 2d8+10+4d8+20
06[19:40] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 2d8+10+4d8+20 and gets 54." [2d8=6, 8][4d8=2, 2, 3, 3]
06[19:40] * Seira gets within range, for her part, ready to use benign transposition if it looks like Demedais's efforts would fail.
[19:41] <Kotono> Donald approaches as well, after nodding ot Saul, "Let me help. Two of us can lift this better than one."
06[19:42] * Demedais nods at seeing Seira's action, before taking the wall. "Alright, sir. If you can move after I lift this, do so; if you can't, we'll get you out." At Donald's offer, he nods. "Alright. Lift on my count, then?" A moment of focus for Demedais, before, "One... two... three!"
01[19:42] <Seira> roll 3d8+15 Donald
06[19:42] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 3d8+15 Donald and gets 32." [3d8=6, 7, 4]
01[19:43] <Seira> OOC: CMW, Obscuring Mist->CLW
[19:43] <Kotono> OOC: Make a str check, Deme? Add Donald's str mod of +8 to your roll.
[19:44] <Demedais> roll 1d20+20 (+4 Kensai, +8 Donald)
06[19:44] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+20 (+4 Kensai, +8 Donald) and gets 38." [1d20=18]
[19:45] <Kotono> With a terrific grunt, the two men lift th wall up! Slowly, a man comes crawling out - he's scuffed and cut all over, but intact. He wears gray rock-dust covered trouses and pants, a merchant's garb thta's seen better days. He manages to get to his knees, "T-thank you..."
[19:45] <Kotono> As this happens, Alicia and the others get within visual range, descending down to join the others.
06[19:45] * Demedais slowly puts the wall down, nodding to the man.
[19:46] <Kotono> The wall is put down, Donald grimacing. "You're welcome," he says, wiping his brow, "Hey, some of you!" He points at the soldiers, "Make sure he gets out in one piece!"
06[19:46] * Alicia alights on the ground nearby. "We were too late?" she surmises, seeing no hostiles around. At least everyone seems intact.
01[19:46] <Seira> "We took two down," Seira greets Alicia's party with. "How about you?"
[19:47] <Alicia> Except for the massive remorhaz corpses, yes. "Two as well, and a wraith - its spells were as bad as those nabassu from earlier," Alicia explains. "There was a portal there as well, but summoned elementals didn't report back after going through so I closed it."
[19:48] <Kotono> "A portal? So it means outsiders are behind it?" Pollyanna glowers, "Which ones then?"
[19:48] <Kotono> The man is helped away by the guards, but he turns back as he does. "I thank each of you...if Moren Silverwind can ever do anything to repay you.." he says, before being safely hurried away.
01[19:49] <Seira> "Alright. I'm sure you're curious why I had us regroup," she says, getting right to the chase. "I received a Sending, purportedly from King Lorthan. It said that Celebrimbor had been abducted and that temples were sacked. The king wanted to warn us to be cautious and requested our presence."
[19:49] <Alicia> "We don't know where the portal went," Alicia reminds Pollyanna. "And it was overseen by an undead, not an outsider." At Seira's words she then frowns. "How dire is the situation there? We can't well leave Malmuth in its current state..."
[19:49] <Kotono> "Oh fuck," Donald whispers, "Another attack? All the way in Pallanth?"
01[19:51] <Seira> "I've asked Amaryl to check from her end, both that it's not a trick and just how dire and urgent the situation is," Seira elaborates further. "My own somewhat shocked original response promised we would show up half an hour to an hour and briefly detailed what we were doing at present. If the situation is highly urgent, we would know soon when another Sending goes through."
[19:53] <Demedais> "..." Demedais remains silent for a moment, before grunting. "And this pattern...  if it's groundbound at all... the only real target is west. Tell Amaryl to put Balmuria on high alert as well." Demedais replies, before nodding to Alicia. "If this is authentic, a group should head to Pallanth while another group stays here."
[19:53] <Alicia> "Assuming they can spare the resources to contact us in that way - if the situation is truly bad then their spellcasters will surely be occupied with more pressing matters," Alicia suggests. "But there's no way Malmuth can hold off those remhoraz without our help. We may have to split up."
[19:54] <Kotono> "You think it's moving west then? Balmuria," Donald begins to tick off, "Victoria, all the oasises, Arad, Kelara and all the little city-states past it? How far will it go?"
[19:54] <Kotono> "Don't forget about Valandia, too. Or Purinn," Pollyanna wipes her hand over her face, "We may have to split up if they're serious about this, then. Another attack the next night on one of those?"
01[19:55] <Seira> "But not ours, back in Balmuria," Seira points out. "Everyone is already on high alert. That the Citadel got attacked with a measure of success despite that speaks much of our enemies." It goes left unsaid that Malmuth's situation wasn't enough to determine that.
[19:56] <Demedais> "I can't think of any targets to the north, east or south, so west seems the only real direction to go. And alright. Then... let's see if we can eliminate another of the remorhaz while we wait for the return Sending? The things are durable - a group effort might prove a far faster way of dispatching them." Demedais suggests.
01[19:57] <Seira> "For now, let's do what we can here. Those who can fly should do so, spreading out slightly to search for fresh targets, while the rest advance with Demedais. Our immediate goal is still finding survivors here and ridding the city of its menace."
[19:57] <Kotono> "Don't let it focus on any one person. It's attacks are vicious." Flapping her wings and taking to the air, "Hit and run if we have to. Attrit it down, they don't seem to be interested in self survival."
[19:58] <Alicia> "Have to find it first - we haven't seen any on the streets while flying over the city," Alicia observes. "They must be hiding - although how such monstrously huge beasts can hide I'm note quite sure."
[19:58] <Kotono> Latha says that as she checks of her mace.
01[19:58] <Seira> Saul uses this chance to call upon his dwindling magical reserves and use a Restoration on Alicia.
[19:58] <Kotono> "Burrowing," Pollyanna looks to the street, "The last one came right up out of the ground. Reminds me of the shocker lizards."
[19:58] <Demedais> "Right." Demedais nods slightly. "One was hiding in a building and burst out of it in an attempt to ambush us." he notes to Alicia.
[19:59] <Demedais> "Burrowing, too, yes." Demedais nods. "They're effectively lurking for people passing through, which is part of why I suggested sticking together - flying may not provoke any of them out."
06[19:59] * Alicia nods to Saul in thanks. "In that case Antenora has the best chance of locating them - they do have minds you can sense, right?" she asks the former erinyes.
[19:59] <Kotono> "They do. They're..." Antenora blushes, "They're about as smart as a quick human, too. They used intelligent tactics when Alicia went invisible, but they refused to retreat once they had a chance to attack us, either."
01[20:00] <Seira> "Flying might, however, discover--" Trailing off, Seira waves one of the Malmuthian soldiers over, and asks, "What was this building here?" as she points at the extra scorched ground.
06[20:00] * Alicia blinks. "They're that smart? Maybe you can try communicating with the next one? With their leader and retreat cut off we may be able to negotiate, or at least learn of their masters and objective."
[20:01] <Kotono> "A new temple," He shakes his head, "An order to..." He thinks a moment, "Orrly, what was the name of the God?" Another soldier steps forward, "It was Lathander, sirs."
[20:02] <Demedais> "The temples were razed here, too, then?" Demedais hazards.
[20:02] <Kotono> After a moment, "That remind me of the gnomes. They hated the Gods because of the God-King, didn't they?"
[20:03] <Kotono> OOC: Gah.
[20:03] <Kotono> After a moment, "That remind me of the gnomes. They hated the Gods because of the God-King, didn't they?" Pollyanna looks down and away, "Do you remember some of the attitudes and things we're read about them?"
[20:03] <Alicia> "I wonder if it was the Dark Six?" Alicia wonders quietly. "The level of power we've seen is consistent - there was a spell on the town square that was beyond the ninth circle, and an undead lieutenant in the form of a spellcasting wraith makes sense. We know they seek to disavow the sanctity of the Gods..."
01[20:03] <Seira> "We can predict where other attacks might be, and prevent needless casualties that way," Seira muses, even as she passes all available information on.
[20:04] <Demedais> "...and that would make both Valandia and Balmuria large targets as it stands." Demedais murmurs.
[20:04] <Kotono> "Still though..." After a few moments, "Time is valuable to us. Let's go?" Antenora starts flying as well, "The sooner these remorhazes are slain, the more survivors that might be saved."
[20:05] <Demedais> "Right." Demedais nods slightly.
01[20:06] <Seira> "Let's head towards the nearest temple," Seira suggests, getting directions.
06[20:06] * Alicia nods and takes off, flying forty feet high and checking for magic since the remohoraz had spells active on them which should show up through building walls for her.
[20:06] <Kotono> "The nearest one is a ways away - it's to Tempus," Leading on now, "It's going to be a bit of a walk." OOC: Moving along? Anyone doing anything else too? You're scanning for magic, Alicia? Radius?
01[20:07] <Seira> OOC: Let's go there, unless something better comes up
[20:07] <Alicia> OOC: 120ft
[20:08] <Kotono> Thus you walk along. As you do...after about 9 minutes or so, perhaps ten, you travel through another rubble choked street. From above, Alicia can see a band of magic below ground, moving towards the party. It's about 70 feet away, but moving towards them fast.
[20:09] <Alicia> "Incoming!" Alicia yells, pointing in the direction it's coming from with her flaming sword. "Below the ground, coming fast!"
[20:09] <Alicia> roll 1d20+24 spellcraft
06[20:09] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+24 spellcraft and gets 28." [1d20=4]
[20:09] <Demedais> "Everyone, away from me again!" Demedais says, sword drawn as he braces! "Same pincer we did last time!"
06[20:09] * Seira evades, ready to unleash a torrent of flame as the remorhaz emerges!
[20:10] <Kotono> "Right!" Donald cries, darting to one side and ready to go! "Once it comes up, end it fast!"
[20:11] <Kotono> OOC: Your'e basically twenty feet ahead, flies are in the air, everyone else is back and ready to pincer it, Deme?
[20:11] <Demedais> OOC: Back and to the sides, yes.
[20:12] <Demedais> OOC: Figure mr. Heavy Metal Armor is the loudest one.
[20:12] <Kotono> A few moments pass, before the ground below Demedais erupts out in a storm of exploding stone! OOC: Ref, deme.

06[20:12] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+25 and gets 44." [1d20=19]

06[20:23] * Demedais growls, before swinging his sword widely, initiating stalling maneuvers as the fliers, archers and spellcasters whittle it down!

01[20:28] <Seira> Saul calls upon Waukeen's mercy, bestowing it to Demedais in turn!
01[20:28] <Seira> OOC: Heal
[20:28] <Kotono> OOC: Saul will get AoOed if he gets close enough to touch Deme for it, he doesn't have handy AoO avoidance tricks like you guys. Just a heads up.

01[20:29] <Seira> OOC: What, if he approaches Deme from behind?
01[20:29] <Seira> OOC: Can Deme 5ft step back, then?
[20:29] <Kotono> OOC: Yeah, it has reach. Hasn't mattered much besides Donald eating an AoO.

01[20:31] <Seira> roll 1d4
06[20:31] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d4 and gets 3." [1d4=3]
[20:31] <Kotono> The remorhaz dodges some of it, but is still singed here and there! OOC: Latha, assuming Seira's done.
[20:32] <Alicia> Latha flies around to the rear of the beast, slamming her mace into its back where it came out of the ground!

[20:35] <Kotono> roll 1d20+27 AoO
06[20:35] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+27 AoO and gets 28." [1d20=1]
[20:35] <Kotono> Donald sprints between it's bite, leaping up to rip into it's underthroat!

[20:38] <Alicia> Antenora follows Alicia's example, swooping down and stabbing her spear into the creature's back, wrenching apart chitinous scales and mangling its softer innards before withdrawing back up out of range!

06[20:40] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+27 and gets 38." [1d20=11]

[20:41] <Alicia> Pivoting in midair, Alicia tucks her wings in briefly to arrest her ascending motion, dropping back down before they fan out behind her, carrying her onwards in a swoop to once again slice apart the monster's back and carry her up and out of harm's way!

[20:42] <Kotono> Alicia spears it's back, ripping in and out as she flies back an dforth past it, scoring wound after wound! OOC: Polly.
[20:42] <Kotono> OOC: Oh yeah, Deme, what was your AC? AoO?

[20:45] <Demedais> OOC: 24.
[20:46] <Kotono> With that bevy of slashes, the remorhaz collapses! It thrashes and dies, a 5th slain! OOC: Free act.
[20:46] <Kotono> "Whew," Donald steps back, "Got that one before it got a chance to do any worse."
[20:47] <Demedais> "Indeed." Demedais mutters.
[20:47] <Alicia> "They fall readily enough to all eight of us," Alicia agrees. "Wonder how many are left, though?"
01[20:48] <Seira> "And I've got more news," Seira announces. "Some good, some nasty. Apparently, Pallanth weathered the attack and is in no immediate need for aid. Unfortunately, all the bodies of those who fell there disappeared. Wraiths were lead by some skeleton with a scythe, who used a spell with green special effects to make most people wither and die within moments, in case that rings any bells."
[20:48] <Kotono> "That's five and they said around a dozen? With luck, about half. With bad luck, more than," Pollyanna counts, and then scowls. "Does it? That sort of thing's not my strong suit."
[20:48] <Alicia> roll 1d20+24 spellcraft, ring any bells?
06[20:49] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+24 spellcraft, ring any bells? and gets 36." [1d20=12]

06[20:49] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+16 religion okay, Alicia and gets 32." [1d20=16]
06[20:49] * Demedais thinks for a moment.
[20:49] <Alicia> roll 1d20+23 Latha knows religion
06[20:49] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+23 Latha knows religion and gets 29." [1d20=6]
[20:50] <Demedais> roll 1d20+15
06[20:50] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+15 and gets 34." [1d20=19]
06[20:52] * Demedais looks to Seira evenly, before closing his eyes. "This is just getting absurd. Completely bloody absurd."
[20:52] <Alicia> "Could be an entropic reaper?" Alicia hazards. "They're manifestations of death from Limbo - their scythes are to all living things like the hammer of the shard is to devils." She sighs and shakes her head, "The focus of the attack and disappearing bodies are the same, but the creatures used are entirely different. How far does this go?"
[20:53] <Kotono> "Worse, as long as we're like this, we're being jerked around instead of doing the jerking," Donald growls, "We need to hurry up and pick up the pace."
[20:54] <Demedais> "That was my conclusion as well, Alicia... Those scythes are supposed to be even more lethal than the Hammer is to devils, too." Demedais mutters.
[20:54] <Alicia> "Agreed, we can't do much else until Malmuth has been retaken," Alicia nods, taking off once more. "Lets press on?"
01[20:54] <Seira> "We don't presently know of no new attacks, and since temples and people seem to be their targets, it does allow for some measure of preparation," Seira muses, nodding at Donald. "Is your spare weapon enchanted properly? Lagann will fix Guardianil once we regroup, so that's not an issue."
[20:55] <Kotono> "I can do it," Donald switches and draws a plain bastard sword, "Unless you have the magic to spare."
[20:55] <Kotono> "The Dark Six, demons, outsiders, gnomes...Mystra, show us the answer soon, so we can stop this," Antenora murmurs low. "Onward to the temple?"
[20:56] <Alicia> "Here, use this instead," Alicia draws the third resort from her boot and offers it to Donald.
[20:56] <Kotono> Donald takes the dagger, scowling, "I know it's an artifact and all, but I feel so...pathetic, just using a little dagger like this." Nonetheless he holds it, putting his bigger swords away.
06[20:56] * Demedais begins moving wordlessly toward the stated location of the temple.
[20:57] <Alicia> "It's rather lacking in comparison to its siblings, I won't deny," Alicia shrugs, "But it's a servicable weapon nonetheless." With that she takes off and keeps watch for further hidden remorhaz.
[20:57] <Kotono> Thus you walk for a time. A half hour, perhaps? You pick your way amid rubble, making slow but steady progress. Night has fallen, the light of your weapons showing the way. Malmuth is ruined - the city is collapsing, a bodiless ruin of death. You reach the site of the temple - or was. It's utterly blasted, ruind here.
[20:58] <Alicia> "Two of them coming our way!" Alicia points in the direction the beasts are coming from, readying her weapon.
01[20:59] <Seira> Saul is ready to call upon the magic of Haste!
[20:59] <Demedais> "Underground?" Demedais says, lifting his foot and slamming it into the ground. "Everyone, away from me again! Inform us if one targets someone else, Antenora!"
06[21:00] * Seira is more than ready to follow with the previous pattern.
[21:00] <Kotono> "Got it," Antenora says, aireborn! OOC: You guys have a roun dof prep to do anything you like real quick. That includes haste if you want, Saul

01[21:03] <Seira> OOC: It's not +6 for her/
[21:03] <Kotono> OOC: That's her protective aura. Different thing.
06[21:03] * Demedais prepares himself for the coming onslaught! OOC: Total defense, +4 AC, was gonna do this before you continued.

[21:05] <Alicia> Alicia and Antenora swoop down in tandem to attack a remorhaz each before darting up out of harm's way!

[21:21] <Kotono> As Donald is tossed around like a rag doll, he stabs up and takes out it's eye! He rips it out, attached and burning away on the Resort as he is dropped to the ground, the remorhaz thrasoing it's head straight up in agony! OOC: Ow. Antenora and Polly.
[21:21] <Alicia> "Hold fast, Donald!" Antenora encourages, working up a holy fervour as she divebombs the wounded Remorhaz, hoping desperately to finish it off. He might be an annoying elf but he's their annoying elf!

[21:39] <Kotono> Donald leaps up and slices this one's head in two, the creature collapsing to the ground and slain! OOC: Free act.
[21:39] <Alicia> "Phew," Alicia breathes out as she lands amidst the others, flicking the gore off of her sword. "We're getting better at killing them, but they're still terribly dangerous."
[21:39] <Kotono> "Ugh." Antenora shakes her head. "They're senseless brutes." Going to one of the bodies, "Violent brutes. I tried to communicate with it and it went nowhere."
[21:40] <Alicia> "Couldn't even find out what they hope to achieve?" Alicia asks.
01[21:40] <Seira> "I'm pretty certain we're at a stage where diplomacy has failed," Seira says as tactfully as she can. "And you know me, trying to befriend everyone."
[21:40] <Kotono> "Nothing," Antenora just grunts, "Agreed. This is war and we're on the frontlines. Let's see about breaking the rest of them."
[21:41] <Demedais> roll 1d20+27
06[21:41] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+27 and gets 29." [1d20=2]
[21:41] <Alicia> "Even if we can't make them stand down, diplomacy still has value in gaining valuable information from the enemy... but clearly that's no option here. Anyway, it seems they're laying in wait near the temples, so finding the next one should find our next monsters."
[21:42] <Kotono> "Say, who was this one to?" Donald walks up, wobbly on his feet.
01[21:42] <Seira> "That was the plan, yes," Seira agrees, also hoping they'll find some more people actually alive along the way.
01[21:42] <Seira> "Ah, Tempus, I believe?"
[21:43] <Alicia> "Tempus," Alicia reminds Donald. "Perhaps the Lord of Battles smiled upon as as we slew those two?"
06[21:45] * Demedais shrugs. "Possible. Let's keep going?"
[21:45] <Kotono> "Hmph," Antenora looks to him, "An unorganized bloodshedder, but...his temple didn't deserve this. Let's continue?"
01[21:45] <Seira> "What other temples were around?" Seira asks the resident Malmuthians.
[21:47] <Kotono> "A few more," Orrly comes forward, "There's been a lot of religious buzz over the past year. Kelemvor and a new one to Kossuth that had just started. The Kossuth one isn't too far, the Kelemvor one's a bit farther."
01[21:48] <Seira> "Kossuth it is, it'd fit better anyway. But we'll have to check out Kelemvor's afterwards."
[21:48] <Kotono> "Let's go then?" Latha is already flying away. "Lead on."
06[21:49] * Alicia nods in agreement, taking off and keeping watch as they depart.
[21:50] <Kotono> Thus you begin to wakl. About ten minutes pass as you pick through the ruined streets. As you do...
01[21:51] <Seira> "Oh hell no!" Seira exclaims. "The dead are attacking the Temple of Waukeen back home!"
[21:52] <Kotono> "Like hell they're going to," Saul says calmly, "You've already taken precautions through Amaryl, haven't you?"
01[21:52] <Seira> "Alicia, could you take Latha and Dad to Balmuria to reinforce them?" Seira asks immediately after. "Precautions are fine, but we shouldn't take any chances either, especially if it's not a single attack!"
06[21:52] * Alicia stops abruptly. "If Balmuria's under attack we have to go right now," she states firmly, landing amongst the group. Malmuth is in a bad way but more or less stable. They can stop deaths happening in Balmuria if they act quickly, though.
[21:54] <Demedais> "... I'm inclined to agree with Seira. Get people over there to help support; let us finish up what we can here. If we're needed, Amaryl can tell Seira." Demedais says.
[21:54] <Alicia> Of course it's not a single attack, they had the numbers to hit all the temples at once here and surely Balmuria's in the same way. Amaryl can see Waukeen's temple right outside Seira's inn, but that leaves Alicia's own home on the far side of town, along with Jessica, Hugo, and Marie... "Alright, it'll be just the three of us," she accedes, grabbing the two as Latha puts up a holy aura.
01[21:55] <Seira> "Hang on a second," Seira requests, seeking out all the relevant details first.
[21:55] <Alicia> Hopefully they can quickly deal with Seira's problem then she can teleport home.
06[21:56] * Alicia refuses to wait for a detailed summary, when every second puts her family at risk away from what Amaryl can see, and immediately teleports herself and her two tagalongs to Waukeen's temple.
[21:56] <Alicia> roll 1d100 just outside temple of waukeen, studied carefully since I guess I see it every day
06[21:56] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d100 just outside temple of waukeen, studied carefully since I guess I see it every day and gets 26." [1d100=26]

[19:12] <Ebiris> <Seira> "Alicia, could you take Latha and Dad to Balmuria to reinforce them?" Seira asks immediately after. "Precautions are fine, but we shouldn't take any chances either, especially if it's not a single attack!"
[19:12] <Ebiris> <Demedais> "... I'm inclined to agree with Seira. Get people over there to help support; let us finish up what we can here. If we're needed, Amaryl can tell Seira." Demedais says.

[19:12] <SleeplessDiseasedKo> OOC: #evil, Alicia. It's you, Saul and Latha, right?
[19:13] <Ebiris> OOC: yep
[19:13] <SleeplessDiseasedKo> With a flash of arcane power, Alicia, Saul and Latha are gone.
03[19:13] * SleeplessDiseasedKo is now known as Ko
[19:15] <Ko> "Now then," Donald looks about, "We've kille dabout seven now?"
03[19:16] * Taishyr is now known as Demedais
01[19:16] <Seira> "That's exactly right," Seira confirms. "Let's move on to the next temple. Balmuria would be safe, it can't possibly fall to undead."
03[19:16] * Ebiris is now known as Alicia
06[19:16] * Demedais nods grimly. "Let's try to finish up here and then lend aid wherever else it's needed."
[19:18] <Ko> Thus you continue to walk on. As you do, a little further down a ruined street, Antenora stops cold. "I can feel the mind of one," she speaks up, "100 feet ahead and coming this way."
06[19:19] * Seira prepares to breathe on it, positioning herself fifteen feet to Antenora's left and a few feet up.
[19:19] <Demedais> "Again, everyone away from me." Demedais calls, waving people away from him and Seira to his left instead as he stamps on the ground.
[19:22] <Ko> "Got it, this'll be easy if it's just one. Well, easy enough," Donald scurries back as the party positions! Thus the party takes up familiar positions...and the ground around Demedais erupts, a remorhaz arching up for him amid a storm of stone! OOC: Ref, Deme.
[19:23] <Demedais> roll 1d20+25
06[19:23] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+25 and gets 44." [1d20=19]
[19:23] <Ko> Yet Demedais is beyond mere rubble, dodging each with lazy ease as the remorhaz arches up...OOC: Go ahead and take held actions.
01[19:23] <Seira> roll 8d8 flames
06[19:23] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 8d8 flames and gets 38." [8d8=3, 2, 6, 7, 2, 8, 3, 7]
06[19:24] * Demedais takes the chance he has and swings his blade quickly through the rain of stone at the remorhaz!
[19:24] <Demedais> roll 1d20+20 (-6 CE)
06[19:24] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+20 (-6 CE) and gets 34." [1d20=14]

06[19:26] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 2d6+15 and gets 22." [2d6=5, 2]
[19:26] <Ko> Demedais and Seira maul it at once, flames and blade cutting into it! OOC: Anyone else?
[19:27] <Demedais> Pollyanna lets loose an arrow as soon as she can see it as well!
[19:27] <Demedais> roll 1d20+27
06[19:27] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+27 and gets 46." [1d20=19]

06[19:27] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+27 crit check and gets 47." [1d20=20]

06[19:28] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 12d6+56 so i hear you like pain and gets 104." [12d6=6, 6, 1, 1, 5, 4, 6, 3, 5, 2, 5, 4]

[19:29] <Alicia> roll 1d20+25 -7pa charge

06[19:30] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 2d8+58 and -1 con and gets 70." [2d8=8, 4]
[19:30] <Ko> Donald rushes in as well!

06[19:30] * Hatbot --> "Ko rolls 1d20+29 and gets 40." [1d20=11]

06[19:30] * Hatbot --> "Ko rolls 1d4+12+3d6+3d66 and gets 125." [1d4=4][3d6=1, 5, 3][3d66=2, 53, 45]

06[19:30] * Hatbot --> "Ko rolls 1d4+12+3d6+3d6 and gets 40." [1d4=1][3d6=6, 6, 2][3d6=6, 1, 6]
[19:31] <Ko> Under a massive assault the remorhaz buckles, nonetheless managing to bite at Demedais!
[19:31] <Ko> roll 1d20+27
06[19:31] * Hatbot --> "Ko rolls 1d20+27 and gets 47." [1d20=20]

[19:32] <Ko> roll 2d8+55
06[19:32] * Hatbot --> "Ko rolls 2d8+55 and gets 65." [2d8=4, 6]
[19:33] <Ko> Demedais is bitten deep and hard, staggering back but managing to keep his balance under the withering, biting assault! OOC: Init.
[19:33] <Alicia> roll 1d20+5 Anty
06[19:33] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+5 Anty and gets 17." [1d20=12]

06[19:33] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+4 Deme and gets 14." [1d20=10]

[19:34] <Ko> OOC: Go.
01[19:35] <Seira> Moving into melee, Seira easily slides into a flanking position with Demedais, ready to deflect attention from the paladin!
01[19:35] <Seira> roll 1d20+23 stabbings
06[19:35] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+23 stabbings and gets 41." [1d20=18]
01[19:36] <Seira> roll 3d8+9+5d6
06[19:36] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 3d8+9+5d6 and gets 37." [3d8=6, 1, 3][5d6=2, 3, 5, 5, 3]
[19:37] <Ko> Stabbing into it before it can act again, the remorhaz collapses, slain! It bleeds out all over, defeated swiftly! OOC: Owwies. Free act.
06[19:38] * Demedais exhales and heals himself as he begins to walk again. "Let's talk and move. And... This seems like a solid strategy for now, at least?"
01[19:38] <Seira> "That's how it all should go," Seira declares, flicking her blade to clean it and walking alongside Demedais.
[19:38] <Ko> "We've beaten the majority barring reinforcements," Antenora takes to the air once more, "Demedais, do you have any more ways to mend yourself? You're badly wounded."
06[19:39] * Seira decides to do something about it, at Antenora's words.
01[19:39] <Seira> roll 3d8+15
06[19:39] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 3d8+15 and gets 27." [3d8=4, 5, 3]
[19:39] <Ko> roll 4d8+14 donald heals
06[19:39] * Hatbot --> "Ko rolls 4d8+14 donald heals and gets 31." [4d8=5, 2, 8, 2]
06[19:40] * Demedais nods to Antenora. "Some. Thanks, Seira, Donald."
[19:40] <Ko> As Donald and Seira mend Demedais, Antenora does the same by touching him all over.
[19:40] <Ko> OOC: +16 HP\
[19:40] <Demedais> roll 4d8+14 2x CMW.
06[19:40] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 4d8+14 2x CMW. and gets 33." [4d8=7, 2, 6, 4]
[19:41] <Demedais> OOC: Er, whoops. I sacked two Remove Diseases for that, so two more d8s + 4.
[19:41] <Demedais> roll 2d8+4
06[19:41] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 2d8+4 and gets 14." [2d8=2, 8]
[19:42] <Ko> As you begin to move along, "What about after we clear Malmuth? Then what? How many died and vanished here? How many have no homes and no lives to return to now?"
01[19:43] <Seira> "Our strongest magic might help with the rebuilding some, if only by providing the necessary materials," Seira says in a businesslike manner. "That's all we can do, for now, aside from providing temporary shelter and protection."
[19:44] <Ko> "They're our recent enemies, but...we should. This is a fucking massacre," Donald gestures all about, "It's turned the biggest city I've ever seen into a graveyard and ruin!"
06[19:45] * Demedais closes his eyes momentaraily, before opening them and looking up. "We'll do what we can to help them, as Seira and Donald have said. And they may be recent enemies, but they are not, currently. Compassion dictates our action here."
01[19:45] <Seira> "They weren't really my enemies to begin with," Seira mutters. "I only had one enemy in a Malmuthian, Ferdi, and that was of his own choosing."
[19:46] <Demedais> "That too, pretty much."
[19:46] <Ko> "Yeah." Pollyanna looks down, "If not for bad politics and greed, the Baronies may not even exist."
01[19:46] <Seira> "I doubt greed had much to do with it, but this isn't the time to debate that. Let's focus, shall we?"
[19:47] <Demedais> "Indeed. What was divided could have once been one, still. And though I don't lament the division, there's no purpose in hate between the two. Let's move on."
[19:47] <Ko> As you advance onward, you come to a building - or a burnt scorchmark showing one was once here, perhaps. There is an eerie silence here.; Antenora looks about, "I don't sense anything right now," she says, "No minds at all."
[19:47] <Ko> Donald goes to the scorched site, kneeling down, "There's barely even ash. You need incredibly hot fmales to do that. I've tried."
06[19:47] * Demedais looks around at the silence. "How far does your sense extend?"
[19:48] <Ko> "100 feet, give or take," Antenora flies up a bit, looking about. "If pressed I can sweep quickly and try to feel one as I pass."
01[19:48] <Seira> "Kelemvor's next and last, then," Seira decides, before turning towards Demedais. "Unless you'd like to take a look around?"
[19:48] <Ko> *flames
[19:49] <Demedais> "For now, we're fine. Your sense is more consistent than my eyes and ears, though I think I can claim distance..." Demedais muses, stepping into the ashes of the temple gingerly and looking around again.
[19:49] <Ko> OOC: Spot if you like.
[19:49] <Demedais> roll 1d20+27 check in case
06[19:49] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+27 check in case and gets 29." [1d20=2]
[19:49] <Ko> Nothing at all remains - only burnt ruin.
06[19:50] * Seira just makes a target of herself, since better she than the tagalong soldiers.
06[19:50] * Demedais shakes his head sadly. "Then let's keep going. If we don't find them all on the way there, we check other parts of town."
[19:51] <Ko> "Maybe we got all of them, and they overcounted in the chaos?" Donald says with earnest hope in his voice, "Of course, there's a lot of city to still check."
01[19:52] <Seira> "Survivors to look for, and maybe even a clue or two," Seira agrees.
[19:52] <Ko> Thus the party takes to the search again. After about five minutes of walking, Antenora bobs in the sky, pointing to a park with burnt, destroyed trees, "I sense a mind in there," she points.
01[19:53] <Seira> Then that's where Seira heads.
[19:53] <Demedais> "Our priority is killing them, I still think. While finding survivors is ideal as we do this, we want to confirm their deaths so people can keep rebuilding." Demedais notes, before looking to Antenora. "Remorhaz, or other?" he asks, beginning to move toward it already. "Everyone else, prepare."
[19:54] <Ko> "Other. It's not as smart," Antenora says with a twist of her lips.
06[19:54] * Demedais nods, pushing in to the park. "Hello? Anyone hear me?"
[19:55] <Ko> No response to Deme's calling. Antenora points towards a grove of destroyed trees, "In there, I think."
06[19:55] * Demedais nods and advances to the grove gestured to, looking it over carefully and listening.
[19:55] <Demedais> roll 1d20+27 spot in case
06[19:55] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+27 spot in case and gets 47." [1d20=20]
[19:55] <Demedais> roll 1d20+27 listen in case
06[19:55] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+27 listen in case and gets 45." [1d20=18]
01[19:56] <Seira> "This is a rescue mission!" Seira calls out, since they're not exactly stalking the survivors. "We're here to help you!"
[19:56] <Ko> Spotting ahead, Demedais sees a young girl lying amid the burnt trees. She's bloody but breathing, lying face down.
06[19:57] * Demedais quickly steps inward, touching her back to heal her as she checks her over. "Damn... must have been looking for somewhere to hide."
[19:58] <Ko> OOC: Ho wmuch healing?
[19:58] <Demedais> OOC: Let's say 10 or until she's capped out.
[19:58] <Ko> OOC: 5.
[19:59] <Ko> The girl's wounds heal as she lies there, mending up and away. Antenora flies down, "She's alive? A small miracle."
06[19:59] * Seira remains alert, in case it's a trap their unusually-smart enemies have laid out.
[20:00] <Demedais> "Yes, she seems to be." Demedais turns her over and sits her up, glancing to the contingent of guards. "Can one of you take her? She should be healed now."
[20:00] <Ko> "What do we do with her? Have someone run her back?" Donald goes to brush her forehead.
[20:00] <Ko> The guards step forward, claming the little girl.
01[20:00] <Seira> "She would be safest with us," Seira announces. "Let's keep going."
[20:01] <Demedais> "Yeah, considering how far we are into the town, I'm in agreement. Apologies, sir, but take care of her for now. Let's finish up?"
[20:05] <Ko> Thus you continue to wander about. For a little time nothing happens, heading down ruined grand streets. You're in the nice parts of Malmuth now - or what once were. It's only empty here as you walk and fly along. "Still nothing," Antenora relays.
[20:07] <Demedais> "...Alright, you want to make circles around us? I worry that perhaps we're missing something..." Demedais suggests. "Hopefully the remaining four aren't attacking the camps..." he pauses after a moment.
06[20:08] * Seira waves one of the soldiers over once more. "Orrly, was it?" she asks him. "Aside from the temples, where did other attacks originate? How about that extravagant crypt? Did it get assaulted as well as one of the first targets?"
[20:09] <Ko> "I'm not sure, ma'am," He reports, "What we know is somewhat confused - the attacks were so unexpected and devastating. The temples did stand out, I didn't hear anything about a crypt."
01[20:10] <Seira> "Well, maybe they're congregating around Kelemvor's temple," Seira muses. "If we find nothing there and near the palace, we'll return and see whether Queen Tant now has a more complete version of events from the survivors."
[20:17] <Ko> Thus the party walks amid the night to Kelemvor's temple. They find it obliterated as well...and yet Antneora flies about, "Nothing," she say announces after a lap around. "Nothing at all."
01[20:18] <Seira> "The palace, and then... did you and Alicia have time to examine the portal you've mentioned?"
[20:19] <Demedais> "I've got a bad feeling. Let's head back for now?" Demedais proposes, a curse under his breath. "I think Alicia mentioned sealing the portal. Swing by the palace on our way back, sure."

[Corwin]

[19:13] <Kotono> * Seira waves one of the soldiers over once more. "Orrly, was it?" she asks him. "Aside from the temples, where did other attacks originate? How about that extravagant crypt? Did it get assaulted as well as one of the first targets?"

[19:13] <Kotono> <Seira> "The palace, and then... did you and Alicia have time to examine the portal you've mentioned?"
[19:13] <Kotono> <Demedais> "I've got a bad feeling. Let's head back for now?" Demedais proposes, a curse under his breath. "I think Alicia mentioned sealing the portal. Swing by the palace on our way back, sure."
03[19:15] * Kuchinashi is now known as Seira
03[19:16] * Taishyr (~ferixstad@141.218.211.234) has joined #dunes
03[19:16] * ChanServ sets mode: +o Taishyr
[19:16] <Kotono> OOC: What was your agenda, Seira?
01[19:18] <Seira> OOC: Until/unless I hear anything, it's temple of kelemvor -> ex-portal site -> temple -> queen
01[19:18] <Seira> "I know. Something might've remained, perhaps invisible? Worth a try still, in my opinion."
[19:19] <Kotono> The walk to the temple of Kelemvor is a quiet one. Night settles deeper onto the destroyed city, reaching it by the light of Deme's sword. You come to an obliterated place, a zone of utter devastation. "It was here," Orrly reports, "Was."
06[19:19] * Seira glances at Antenora in case she senses anything.
[19:20] <Kotono> "Nothing," Antenora replies, "The only thing I sense is us."
01[19:20] <Seira> "Onwards it is."
[19:20] <Kotono> Pollyanna approaches the temple's scorchd remnants, "Damn it to Helm...but at least there's not another remorhaz here."
01[19:20] <Seira> "Huh, I'd actually be happier if more attacked us. Oh well."
[19:24] <Kotono> Eventually, the party comes to a blasted square. It is ruined, a once grand square reduced to nothingness. A pair of remorhazes lie here, slain by sword wounds.
[19:24] <Kotono> Antenora flies about, "Nothing still. I'll show you where the portal was," she says, "There was a wraith-like creature as well, but it didn't leave any sort of remnants."
01[19:25] <Seira> No time like the present to cast detect magic and see whether anything magical or evil remains, or anything invisible that was overlooked. "Lead the way," she tells Antenora, following her around.
[19:26] <Kotono> Demedais keeps a watch with Pollyanna as the others advance. Seira finds lingering magic all over, incredible amounts of power remaining yet. In the center of where Antenora points, Seira can see quasi visible, transparent and flickering runes, scorched but still visible, yet ever so slowly seeming to fade into the night.
06[19:28] * Seira commits the runes to memory, sketching them briefly in her notes as she relies on her companions for protection, before attempting to make sense of them.
[19:28] <Kotono> OOC: K:A.
03[19:29] * Taishyr is now known as anumbernotaname
01[19:29] <Seira> roll 1d20+24 let's try
06[19:29] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+24 let's try and gets 37." [1d20=13]
01[19:35] <Seira> "What do you know, there really was something interesting here," Seira mutters quietly. "Alright, I think we can forego with the palace. Let's report to Queen Tant. I doubt I'll have time enough to make it to my meeting in Pallanth otherwise."
[19:40] <Kotono> After a few moments, Seira's mind is spoken to. 'Seira,' Amaryl calls, 'The battle's over. The Temple's safe. How are you?'
01[19:42] <Seira> 'We haven't found any other signs of a remorhaz since I talked to you last, but the spot where the portal used to be still has a fading ward of some kind. It's about binding and control, if you were trying to bind a piece of reality. Pretty freaky!'
[19:43] <Kotono> Antenora looks about, "Still nothing," she says as she takes to the air. Meanwhile, as Demedais and Pollyanna begin to take point, 'We're just getting in word of what's happening now.  I'll let you know once I have an idea of what's happened, but Saul and Latha are safe. Alicia went off to the sky for something.'
01[19:43] <Seira> 'That's nice.'
[19:47] <Kotono> Thus you travel back to Queen Tant now. It's a long walk, and as you do, another message comes from Amaryl. 'Alicia's alright,' She says, voice slow, 'Seira...Elle was hurt pretty bad, but the Commander's saying she'll make it. But her assistant Alice...she fell to wraiths and was the one who hurt Elle before Elle...'
01[19:50] <Seira> There's not much she can say to say. 'Understood,' Seira thinks to Amaryl, before informing the others, "We won, Alicia's fine. It seems the situation was far better than elsewhere, but wraiths still ensure casualties on our side."
[19:50] <Kotono> "Who?" Demedais turns back to ask.
01[19:51] <Seira> "I only know of Alice, likely because Elle's shop is close enough to the temple and my place and reports from there would be easiest to gather."
[19:53] <Kotono> "Elle's assistant? She was always so nice," Pollyanna sighs, as the rest of the party continues on. You reach the evacuating outskirts safely, escorted to Queen Tant. She looks even more tired when you enter in and are introduced, waiting for Seira's reply.
06[19:53] * Seira personally disagrees, but it's not really something she can voice, and certainly not about someone who bravely gave their life in Balmuria's defense.
01[19:55] <Seira> "Eight of the monsters as well as a wraith from all apparences controlling them were destroyed, Your Majesty," Seira informs the monarch once the obligatory greetings are out of the way. "Balmuria had been attacked, which is where Alicia as well as my father and Latha left after dealing with most of the enemy forces here."
[19:58] <Kotono> "Eight are defeated...thank you, for all of Malmuth," Queen Tant bows her head to Seira and the rest of the Guard. "Balmuria has been attacked as well? How badly?"
01[19:59] <Seira> "We've been forewarned by the attacks here and at the Citadel, and managed to mount a successful defense at the incursion points," Seira responds diplomatically.
[20:00] <Kotono> "We are pleased...Mercy be that no more cities suffer as fair Malmuth did. Our nation is in your debt" Queen Tant rises now, "Colonel Seira, approach me."
06[20:03] * Seira approaches as she is bidden.
[20:06] <Kotono> "Were times better I could take leisure to offer greater thanks, and I will in the future. But for now," Withdrawing a simple, slightly flawed agate stone encased in a silver pendant, "This is a magical stone kept in my family's heritage, the Soothsayer's Spite. As a token of friendship and gratitude to the Crimson Guard, take it. For a wizard as yourself it will be a great boon."
06[20:09] * Seira bows before the Malmuthian queen. "I still don't have complete knowledge of the situation in Balmuria, but once that part has been settled, we may be able to send aid to the civilians, Your Majesty."
[20:11] <Kotono> "If we have aid as well to help Balmuria, we will send it." Tant seconds, "The Guard's willingness to come to it's former enemy's aid is a testament to the generosity that thrives in your hearts."
01[20:14] <Seira> "Our thanks, on behalf Lord Salman," Seira returns, bowing once more. "These enemies we seem to share are not the only ones who can open portals. If you could designate a section of the city for us, Queen Tant..." she continues, before trailing off.
[20:15] <Kotono> "You have my leave to do what you wish," she says, and with a weary sigh, "Choose a section that suits you, save for the palace grounds. It will be the work of a generation to undo this devastation."
01[20:20] <Seira> "It's only buildings. They can and will be rebuilt, Your Majesty, and it would not take an entire generation to do it, that much I'm certain of," Seira responds, taking back a step. "It also seems that the attacks continue, and Valandia was also targetted. I will leave at this time, but Demedais will remain behind to ensure that Malmuth is well-guarded until we manage to prepare a counter-attack."
[20:20] <Kotono> "Thank you," Queen Tant nods briefly.
[20:21] <Kotono> In a lower voice, whispered to Seira, "Seira," Pollyanna asks, "Splitting up again?"
06[20:22] * Seira draws closer to Demedais and the rest of their group. "It appears Claris was abducted, but Valandia pushed the undead horde back. Someone needs to go to our most important allies, and I think it's best we ensure Malmuth doesn't suffer a repeat attack, so I'll head to Pallanth on my own. You guys should be able to stop just about anything coming for you."
[20:23] <Kotono> "Will you be safe alone," Antenora asks, "No offense, but the opposition here is far from feeble. If you need help at all..."
[20:23] <Kotono> Pollyanna nods, "I understand. Nothing will endanger Malmuth while we're here."
01[20:23] <Seira> "Who do you think you're talking to?" Seira asks with a grin.
[20:24] <Kotono> Antenora nods to that.
06[20:25] * Seira concentrates on the front of Celebrimbor's estate, and calls upon the ring of teleportation!
01[20:25] <Seira> roll 1d100
06[20:25] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d100 and gets 15." [1d100=15]
[20:27] <Kotono> Woosh! The night air is cool as you appear in Pallanth. The estate is full of lights, a small platoon of elven guards at the front door. It's quite busy here, a few eyeing Seira immediately. "Halt-" one begins, "Hold, it's Seira of the Crimson Guard!"
06[20:28] * Seira nods curtly at them. "I come on the invitation of King Lorthan. Where might I find him at this time?"
[20:28] <Kotono> "At the Citadel proper," One salutes, "An escort is ready for you, ma'am."
06[20:29] * Seira nods once more. "My thanks."
[20:31] <Kotono> Thus Seira is hurried to the Citadel. In private chambers you find King Lorthan and the Council save Celebrimbor. They wear tense faces, "Seira," His Majesty does not rise from his seat, "Thank you for coming."
06[20:32] * Seira bows deeply as she approaches him. "Your Highness, I wish I could have been prompter, and even more so that I was certain to stay. Unfortunately, these attacks still continue. I don't know how long I have before I might be pulled towards the next one."
[20:34] <Kotono> "I understand. We were hit hard, but warning and our good graces were enough to stop the worst of it." Ambrose Highsun leans forward in his chair, face tired, fine features sagging. "Intervention and our power was not enough fast enough to save the Temple of Sevenfold Elysium or Celebrimbor, but worse catastrophy was averted."
[20:35] <Kotono> Idril Silverleaf coughs, "So it was, barely. I saw the cold face of Death and I spite the God who spawned it."
[20:36] <Kotono> "Then I will cut to the heart of the matter," His Majesty rises. "One of the defeated minions dropped a magical bauble of interest."
01[20:36] <Seira> "On our side, Balmuria was attacked, followed by Valandia," Seira informs the elven council. "We've had some casualties, but the defenses held, as far as I can tell. Valandia's governor, a priest of Lathander, was however taken in the latest attack." At Idril's words, she frowns.
01[20:36] <Seira> "Considering the way all the temples I came across were burnt down to the ground with extreme prejudice, I doubt the involvement of any deities in this."
01[20:37] <Seira> "A magical bauble?" Seira asks then, her attention instantly riveted.
[20:37] <Kotono> Kortan Chillander shakes his head, "It matters little the puppeteer now. We must gird ourselves for the coming cold struggle."
[20:40] <Kotono> King Lorthan leads Seira into the next room. It is a bedroom, something lying on a deep, thick carpet within. A steel baton lies there, carved with glyphs that glow with their own bright green light. It is studded with gemstones, green lit from the glpyhs.
06[20:41] * Seira studies it, giving the artifact her full, undivided attention.
[20:41] <Kotono> OOC: K:A check?
01[20:42] <Seira> roll 1d20+24
06[20:42] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+24 and gets 38." [1d20=14]
[20:43] <Kotono> The glyphs promise the power to energize, control or turn undead. They are written in archaic, twisted, chaotic Abyssial, often borrowing and perverting words from Celestial.
01[20:44] <Seira> "Has anyone tried to use this?"
[20:45] <Kotono> "No." King Lorthan looks down to it, "A brave and foolish soldier picked it up and it did him no physical harm."
03[20:45] * anumbernotaname is now known as taikotoro
01[20:46] <Seira> "It doesn't seem likely to harm the wielder," Seira agrees. "Not from my understanding of it, at least. A priest might be able to use it to hold the undead off, in fact, unless the device is somehow trapped."
[20:47] <Kotono> "Curious." King Lorthan peers down at it, "The holder was a spirit of some sort, if that is any aid."
01[20:49] <Seira> "Empowering the undead and holding them at bay are two sides of the same coin, the way my admittedly limited religious teaching went," Seira elaborates. "The rod here appears to augment both."
[20:51] <Kotono> "That makes more sense." WIth a long look to Seira, "Will the Crimson Guard be benefited by borrowing it? In the coming days...both of our nations have been assaulted. Cooperation is inevitable to punish the blasphemous fools who did so."
01[20:54] <Seira> "We are certainly in a position to study it better," Seira muses. "Unless Lord Silverleaf would like to wield it in battle, of course."
[20:55] <Kotono> "Such is not a request to be made lightly, but the coming days may leave it with no choice. For now, take it." King Lorthan agrees, "For I know Celebrimbor is a personalf riend of yours, and that you will work towards freeing him."
01[20:58] <Seira> roll 1d20+12 let's try
06[20:58] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+12 let's try and gets 16." [1d20=4]
06[20:59] * Seira nods. "The plan right now is to ride out this wave of attack. Our enemies are using the casualties from the attack as means to strike again, but as we repel them time and time again, their military strength should be reduced. I hope to use that time for divination, to gain insight into their identity, and take the fight to them.
01[20:59] <Seira> Alicia believes this might be the work of the Dark Six, a group of atheist liches that transcended mortal magic. All that I've seen so far seems to support that theory."
[21:00] <Kotono> "The Dark Six? I'll have our records searched for any mention of them," His Majesty says.
01[21:03] <Seira> "Together, we might get hold of a clue," Seira agrees. "For now, is there anything I can help with? Unless I get word of a new attack, I intend to spend some of the night here at the Citadel."
[21:04] <Kotono> "Join with Lord Desjardin and study the ancient text and libraries." King Lorthan says, "If we have knowledge of them, let us use it as fast as we can."
[21:08] <Kotono> OOC: Make an int check, +5 bonus for Desjardin helping out? You're pretty much fishing right off and there's a lot to go through, but you could get lucky right away.
01[21:08] <Seira> roll 1d20+17 let's go for initial results, then
06[21:08] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+17 let's go for initial results, then and gets 36." [1d20=19]
[21:12] <Kotono> Past midnight, Seira is engrossed reading through a libram. In one ancient chaper, it talks of 'Dark Six'. It talks of the mage Adammal of the Black Mantle, of the 'Dark Six'. It is said he traveled to the sky and left it torn in chaos, shrouding an entire realm in dischord. He took on the name Sylian, it is said, and contested with 'The Unspoken Chaos'.
01[21:17] <Seira> "Sounds nasty," Seira comments, pointing the grimoire to Desjardin.
01[21:17] <Seira> roll 1d100 Victoria's gates, recharged ring TP!
06[21:18] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d100 Victoria's gates, recharged ring TP! and gets 95." [1d100=95]
[21:18] <Kotono> roll 1d10
[21:18] <Kotono> roll 1d10
06[21:18] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d10 and gets 3." [1d10=3]
06[21:18] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d10 and gets 1." [1d10=1]
[21:19] <Kotono> roll 1d9
06[21:19] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d9 and gets 6." [1d9=6]
[21:19] <Kotono> Seira stands in grassy, slightly barren fields. Above her, Selune sheds her eternal light down in a chilly night.
06[21:20] * Seira frowns, but Waukeen does not want her to smite evil here, so she decides to sacrifice one of her precious scrolls to get her back on course.
01[21:20] <Seira> roll 1d100
06[21:20] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d100 and gets 3." [1d100=3]
[21:20] <Kotono> Woosh! You appear at the gates to Victoria without incident. They are quite well closed, as city gates at night tend to be.
06[21:21] * Seira takes flight, aiming for the guard post above.
[21:22] <Kotono> As Seira approaches on wing, a guard points and salutes. "Ma'am," he calls, "We have orders to escort you in if you appeared."
01[21:23] <Seira> "And I have," Seira agrees. "Lead the way."
[21:24] <Kotono> The streets of Victoria are quiet and well patrolled. You are lead not too deep into the city, into a street with several red brick buildings. One is painted white, the soldiers leading Seira inside. Just inside Amaryl waits, breaking into a sunny smile, "Seira!" she calls, turning to face her. "Thank goodness you're safe! The others are deeper inside, staying with Lord Salman."
01[21:26] <Seira> "Not the circumstances I expected to see you under," Seira admits, before wrapping her arms around the elf with a smile of her own. "Figures it'd take the end of the world as we know it."
[21:28] <Kotono> The embrace is returned, Amaryl resting, "Alice...Abagail's upset about her. Be soft about it." After that long, blissful moment, Amaryl straights. "Let's go see Lord Salman?"
06[21:30] * Seira was hardly going to mock Alice, and so nods into the embrace before Amaryl lets go. "That's the other reason I'm here for. Let's go see him."
[21:32] <Kotono> After a summary and instructions, Seira goes to rest. The night passes in peace...the next morning, as Seira wakens, she does to words in her mind. 'Seira, report back to Balmuria if circumstance permit at all. Will be marshalling information and forces. Commander Oberuth.' It's not his voice, but Gilartal's.
01[21:33] <Seira> "I'll be there in fifteen," Seira murmurs, before instructing Amaryl and Abagail to be ready by then, while she prepares the spells of teleportation.
[21:34] <Kotono> OOC: Roll TP and I'll move us along in here? Also, nick, Ailcia?
01[21:34] <Seira> roll 1d100
06[21:34] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d100 and gets 52." [1d100=52]
03[21:34] * Ebiris is now known as Alicia
[21:35] <Kotono> The morning is still and snowy as the Crimson Guard meets. The windows show the steady, slight snowfall continuing outside. Commander Oberuth heads this meeting, Saul, Alicia and Latha already there. "Welcome back," he says to Seira right off. "I received words of thanks from Arad last night. They repelled attacks there, though I don't have much information on what yet."
01[21:36] <Seira> "Kesse and the surroundings are likewise safe, as is Kelara?" Seira inquires, looking at Saul and Alicia.
[21:37] <Kotono> Saul leans deep in a chair, looking out a snowy window. "Pallanth, Malmuth, Valandia, Balmuria, Arad. That's five attacks within two days...they're quite serious about this."
[21:37] <Kotono> "I've heard no word on them," Commander Oberuth replies, as Amaryl goes over to a seat and sits. "For now, we'll hope no news is good news."
06[21:38] * Alicia shrugs in response to Seira. "I don't know about Kesse but I imagine I'd be summoned if there was trouble in Kelara," she replies. "Sir, could you tell us how the attack began last night? In Malmuth the remorhaz all appeared from a single portal in the centre of the city - was it the same pattern with the undead in Balmuria?"
06[21:38] * Seira places the metal rod liberated from Malmuth's attackers on the Commander's table. "This is our only tangible clue from the attacks, so far. It belonged to one of the wraiths behind the attack on the Citadel." She briefly describes the rod's apparent capabilities to those lacking in magical aptitude.
06[21:39] * Alicia puts a shard of tibia next to the rod. "That bone came from the entropic reaper that you mentioned was in Pallanth," she adds to Seira, "It appeared in Balmuria as well, and retained a spiritual form even after I shattered its body. Could be useful for a scrying focus."
[21:40] <Kotono> "Get Elle to identify it. Speaking of, she wants the two of you," A look to Alicia and Seira, "To stop by as soon as possible." Thereafter, Commander Oberuth stares intensely, "From what I gather, they appeared in the streets and attacked towards the temples. Nothing normal, pure magic. fortunately, we heavily fortified the temples and had warning, so most of the attacks were handled well. Further, the owners of the temple sent divine word the
[21:40] <Kotono> so most of the attacks were handled well. Further, the owners of the temple sent divine word they disapproved of these attacks. Incidentally, we may be able to rule out Torm having any part of this. His temple had it's own defenses."
01[21:40] <Seira> And so it gets to stay another day, Seira muses to herself. "Sir, did the undead appear in close proximity to the temples, then, in several groups?"
[21:41] <Kotono> "Yes, that appears to be what happened,' Commander Oberuth nods, stopping only to yawn and rub his bloodshot eyes. "Countess Stronger said it was likely teleportation circles or similar magic."
[21:43] <Kotono> "Who then? Our running idea is the Dark Six, is it not?" Latha speaks in a warming, glorious voice that makes the snow seem to shrink away from the window. "Do we know any of this beyond riddles and tidbits of scraps?"
06[21:43] * Seira seethes with rage, deep down, at how easily their foes accomplish this and flaunt it.
01[21:43] <Seira> "That's what we're going with for now," Seira agrees, relating her own tidbit courtesy of the Pallanth library.
[21:44] <Alicia> "Either teleport circle or gate would be needed to move so many creatures... given that even one of those spells is beyond us, producing so many in such a short period implies an utterly vast reservoir of highly powerful spellcasters, or a smaller number who are entirely beyond our concept of normal magical limits," Alicia opines, frowning.
01[21:45] <Seira> "It's always possible they augment their magic," Seira voices. "Both this rod and the runes left over from the portal grounds in Malmuth all had this same theme of augmentation and control, so perhaps our enemies have perfected those means for any magic they employ."
[21:46] <Kotono> "Possible. I can look into that," Saul says, "Alicia, I recall you saying you found out at the Dark Six in the Planeswalker's Guild as well? Does it relate to what Seira said?"
[21:47] <Alicia> "Runes?" Alicia blinks. "I must have missed those... but anyway, that one spell that was in place guarding the portal in Malmuth was beyond the ninth circle, so again..." she trails off and turns to Saul.
[21:47] <Alicia> "They're liches, which fits with the use of undead. They disavow the Gods, which fits with attacking temples. And they're tremendously powerful, which is what we've just been saying... it fits so far, anyway."
[21:48] <Kotono> "There is one other thing," Latha turns, "A slaadi philospher," A faint smile shows on he rface, "His name was Yiziy? A lead to follow up on, but one I am certain would be time consuming."
06[21:50] * Alicia nods. "With the situation so unstable here we can't afford to spend much time hunting across the planes for him," she admits.
[21:50] <Kotono> "Could magic be used to contact him?" Commander Oberuth look sto Seira, "Can't you summon outsiders and bind them, or find ways to find them with scrying?"
01[21:52] <Seira> "Summoning and binding a slaadi whose help we want would not ingratiate him to us, but we could certainly ask him to come?"
[21:54] <Alicia> "He's probably too powerful for us to bind. We could try sending, but... if you got a random terse message from someone you've never met asking about an immensely powerful and secretive cabal of undead wizards, would you be keen on responding?" Alicia muses.
01[21:55] <Seira> "If we made it interesting, a philosopher might just bite," Seira counters with a smile. "Rather than going 'need help, please tell us things'."
[21:55] <Kotono> "No. Still, maybe if we think of a way to sugarcoat it..." Saul rubs his chin, "A way of getting his attention."
01[21:56] <Seira> "And speaking of sendings and frogs, how about sending word to that white one we came across in the Abyss?" Seira voices.
01[21:56] <Seira> "He certainly thought it would be fun to fight on our side."
[21:58] <Kotono> "I'll consider it," Saul says, "Give me some time to think it over."
[21:58] <Alicia> "Twenty five words doesn't allow for a lot of leeway in your speech. Perhaps we could use it to arrange a meeting, at least..." she pauses at the next suggestion. "Ssnjssi? It wouldn't hurt to ask..." At least Antenora isn't around to get outraged.
01[21:59] <Seira> "It certainly wouldn't, and a meeting at least might be easy to set up," Seira adds, thinking along the same lines.
[22:00] <Kotono> "Alright. We'll meet again ina f ew hours to outline our plans," Oberuth says, "Go see Countess Stronger now and make your own preparations."
01[22:02] <Seira> "I'm afraid that barring breakthroughs, I will depart to make that portal to Malmuth as soon as I've seen Elle, Sir," Seira responds. "They were the hardest hit, and it would allow us to give them aid."
[22:02] <Kotono> AFter a moment of thought, "Alright. Do that then."
06[22:02] * Alicia nods and gets up, pocketing the nasty bone shard once more. "Elle might be able to help us get a lead on the so-called Death, but lets see what she wants first of all."
06[22:03] * Seira does likewise with the rod, nodding at Alicia.
[22:05] <Kotono> You find Elle in her shop. She wears a black dress, face drawn and sitting at the front desk of her shop. She stands, "Glad you two could make it," her voice is composed, calm, waverless.
01[22:06] <Seira> "I'm sorry for your loss," Seira automatically tells her.
[22:07] <Alicia> "I heard what happened with Alice," Alicia commiserates, approaching the desk. "She was a good woman."
[22:08] <Kotono> "She was." Elle bows her head, "She's resting now, I made sure of that." She bends over, starting to go for something, "You're going after who's behind this."
01[22:09] <Seira> "They won't get away with it, and that's not an empty promise."
[22:10] <Alicia> "I don't know if you saw the green-glowing skeleton in the sky last night," Alicia puts the tibia bone on the desk. "But he left a few things behind when I was through with him. This might help in tracking him down to finish the job, and find out who else he had backing him."
[22:11] <Kotono> Elle comes out with several wrapped scrolls, covered with cloth and simple wax seals. "Teleport and greater teleports for you two," Going down and getting another set, "Heal and Restorations for Demedais and Saul. Take them."
06[22:12] * Seira volunteers the metal rod, for her part, even as she nods and accepts Elle's scrolls. "A souvenier from the attack on Pallanth, in case it helps with that as well."
06[22:12] * Alicia takes the divine scrolls since she can teleport lots anyway. "Demedais is in Malmuth right now, but I can make sure he gets these," she affirms.
[22:13] <Kotono> Picking up the bone, "Scrying? I can do that." She puts it down and the rod as well, "I'll see to them. Seira." Meeting her eyes in her own, "This was going to be a surprise for you later, but...no time like the present."
01[22:14] <Seira> "Hmm?" Seira asks, indeed surprised.
02[22:14] * Kallen (~carthrat@c122-107-246-130.eburwd9.vic.optusnet.com.au) Quit (Ping timeout)
[22:15] <Kotono> Reaching down under the desk, Elle takes out a carved wood staff. It's head is the head of a roaring red dragon. "It's a metamagic rod." She places it down onto the desk, "Every archmage should have one that really suits them."
01[22:16] <Seira> And Seira is surprised once more! She shakes her head slowly. "I don't believe this. Custom-made metamagic? For me?"
[22:16] <Alicia> "That does suit Seira," Alicia agrees, managing a faint smile despite the overall grim situation.
[22:17] <Kotono> "My apprentice deserves nothing less," No smile on Elle's face as she takes it and presses into into Seira's chest. "It'll make your magic fiery as can be, and then a little hotter for good measure."
06[22:18] * Seira finds it very easy to give in to her impulses and hug Elle.

[Corwin]

[19:12] <Kolunch> * Seira volunteers the metal rod, for her part, even as she nods and accepts Elle's scrolls. "A souvenier from the attack on Pallanth, in case it helps with that as well."
[19:12] <Kolunch> * Alicia takes the divine scrolls since she can teleport lots anyway. "Demedais is in Malmuth right now, but I can make sure he gets these," she affirms.
[19:12] <Kolunch> > Picking up the bone, "Scrying? I can do that." She puts it down and the rod as well, "I'll see to them. Seira." Meeting her eyes in her own, "This was going to be a surprise for you later, but...no time like the present."
[19:12] <Kolunch> <Seira> "Hmm?" Seira asks, indeed surprised.

[19:12] <Kolunch> <Seira> And Seira is surprised once more! She shakes her head slowly. "I don't believe this. Custom-made metamagic? For me?"
[19:12] <Kolunch> <Alicia> "That does suit Seira," Alicia agrees, managing a faint smile despite the overall grim situation.
[19:12] <Kolunch> > "My apprentice deserves nothing less," No smile on Elle's face as she takes it and presses into into Seira's chest. "It'll make your magic fiery as can be, and then a little hotter for good measure."
03[19:12] * Ebiris is now known as Alicia
[19:12] <Kolunch> * Seira finds it very easy to give in to her impulses and hug Elle.
03[19:12] * Kolunch is now known as Kotono
03[19:12] * ChanServ sets mode: +ao Alicia Alicia
[19:14] <Kotono> Elle doesn't relax in the touch, "If you need any particular spells to help you stop them, come to me." Closing her eye sas her face twists and contorts, "Go and crush them...but be careful. All my life I researched and learned this sort of power...and it's still not enough to oppose the forces behind this.""
[19:16] <Alicia> "I'll go and deliver these to Demedais," Alicia hefts some of the scrolls Elle donated. "Then when I get back we can try and hunt down the owner of that bone and give him the death he deserves."
01[19:17] <Seira> "It's pretty clear," Seira agrees, letting up, "that whoever picked a fight with us, we can't coexist with them. That means they'll die, as simple as that."
[19:20] <Kotono> "It's them or us, and it wont' be them." Elle nods to Alicia, "Use these well and go. I'll survive, get moving."
06[19:21] * Alicia nods. "Want to come with me to Malmuth, Seira, or will you be busy here?"
01[19:22] <Seira> "Contact me through Waukeen's temple, if it's urgent, then," Seira tells Elle, before giving Alicia an apologetic look. "I'll be busy for the following day trying to open a path to Malmuth. If there is a second round of attacks, it'll allow us to truly respond in force, not to mention eventually cut down on having to wait for a Sending. Give them my best?"
[19:23] <Alicia> "I won't be long," Alicia tells them both, teleporting herself to the refugee camp outside of Malmuth that they visited yesterday.
[19:23] <Alicia> roll 1d100 seen once
06[19:23] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d100 seen once and gets 23." [1d100=23]
06[19:24] * Seira proceeds to the hidden temple of Helm!
[19:25] <Kotono> OOC: #evil, Seira.
[19:26] <Kotono> Woosh! Alicia appears in the refugee camp. People are all about, a mess of endless tents and displaced people. The sky is cold but sunny, ruined Malmuth stretching ahead in one direction. The people stare at Alicia as she appears.
[19:28] <Alicia> "Peace," Alicia holds up her hands in a non-threatening gesture, not wanting to alarm these sorely overstressed people. "I'm here to help." Hopefully having affirmed her benevolent intentions, she looks for a soldier who could tell her where Captain Demedais might be.
[19:29] <Kotono> Soldiers quickly hurry up as Alicia soothes the populace. A fe salute, "Ma'am." One bows, "Her Majesty offers us for what you need while you are here."
[19:31] <Alicia> "I just need to find the other members of the Crimson Guard that were left here," she explains after returning the salute.
[19:34] <Kotono> With a salute they lead Alicia on. The rest of the guard is found amid the people, healing an dproviding food. Antenora notices Alicia coming first, kneeling next to a child and talking to her with a smile. "Alicia," Antenora says, voice quietly carrying, "How are things?"
[19:36] <Alicia> "We may have a lead on those responsible," Alicia returns, tempering her words so as not to disturb Antenora's new friend. "I'm just stopping by to give Demedais some scrolls Elle donated before she tries a divination."
[19:38] <Kotono> Demedais and Pollyanna approach, the latter smiling with grim determination. "Who?"
[19:38] <Kotono> Demedais comes forward to collect the scrolls.
[19:40] <Alicia> "Remember that Entropic Reaper Seira mentioned was seen in Pallanth?" Alicia explains, keeping her voice low and drifting off with the other grown-ups. "It was in Balmuria as well - styled itself as Death incarnate, but didn't quite live up to the hype."
[19:40] <Alicia> "I shattered its body but the spirit remained able to fight - my sister called for help before the fight could be concluded, but with the remains of its earthly shell left behind I'm hoping Elle will be able to track its location."
[19:43] <Kotono> "Good luck," Pollyanna says. "When the battle comes, if you need our help..."
[19:44] <Alicia> "We'll probably be going immediately if Elle can find anything," Alicia replies. "If it remains in a ghostly form then you and Antenora would be the most helpful to have around," she tells Pollyanna.
[19:45] <Kotono> "Come back then," Demedais says, rubbing his head, "Helm travel with you."
[19:48] <Alicia> "Thanks, Demedais," Alicia nods, proceeding to depart with any volunteers.
[19:48] <Alicia> roll 1d100 Elle's shop, studied carefully
06[19:48] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d100 Elle's shop, studied carefully and gets 94." [1d100=94]
[19:49] <Kotono> Pollyanna and Antenora come with Alicia. They appear at Elle's shop, just outside. More snow continues to fall, Pollyanna sneezing. "Brr..." Looking up to the sky, "Helm preserve us, even with the winterwight slain, it's a cold winter."
[19:50] <Alicia> "Given how many bodies fell here last night, I'm counting the cold as a blessing," Alicia remarks grimly, heading inside.
[19:53] <Kotono> Heading inside, you find a soldier staring at an intricate suit of armor. As you enter he whirls around, saluting, "Ma'am!" He says, "Countess Stronger is currently conjuring. You may go back if you wish."
06[19:54] * Alicia returns the salute. "Thank you, we will," she returns, heading through to the rear of the shop and keeping quiet so as not to disturb any delicate work Elle might be doing.
[19:56] <Kotono> You find Elle in back of the shop, before a polished silver mirror. She chants, calling on the names of those who hold secrets to grant vision: From exalted names of truth to the whispers of Shar to let loose her vile secrets.  Floating in front of the mirror is the shard of bone, glowing as Elle chants and calls.
[19:58] <Kotono> Antenora steps well back, bowing her head and murmuring words of CElestial. Pollyanna smiles and waits, watching.
[19:58] <Alicia> Looks like she's already started, although it's unfortunate she's not employing the greater scrying spell. Nonetheless, Alicia settles in to wait, knowing firsthand how long this can take to cast.
[20:00] <Kotono> At last, the final words are invoked, "Mysteries, reveal themselves to me! Show me what I seek!"
[20:00] <Kotono> roll 1d20+16 CL check
06[20:00] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+16 CL check and gets 17." [1d20=1]
[20:01] <Kotono> Elle snaps off a vile curse, "It was resisted. Fine." She begins to gesture again, "Greater scrying it is. Alicia, go get me a scroll from the next room. One of the ones that weakens magical resistance."
[20:02] <Alicia> "Got it," Alicia nods, heading back and quickly rifling through Elle's scroll case till she finds the one spoken of.
[20:02] <Alicia> OOC: taking 10 for 24 on spellcraft to find it
[20:02] <Kotono> The scroll is brought back without incident. Elle reads off it, then intones devastating words of power, making the mirror glow hot white!
[20:03] <Kotono> roll 1d20+26
06[20:03] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+26 and gets 29." [1d20=3]
[20:03] <Kotono> roll 1d20+13 will, yep, you missed the SR 1 by, 'licia.
06[20:03] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+13 will, yep, you missed the SR 1 by, 'licia. and gets 27." [1d20=14]
[20:05] <Kotono> The mirror flickers to life! You see oblivion, darkness and obilvion, all around you. Utter blackness, umbral blots of nothingness. Floating in this sea of oblivion, Death floats. His body is half reformed, lantern shedding it's terrible light and scythe held by a half reassembled, bony hand.
06[20:06] * Alicia peers at the mirror, frowning. "Is it on the negative energy plane?" she wonders.
[20:06] <Kotono> OOC: You can make an K:P check if you wish.
[20:07] <Alicia> roll 1d20+23
06[20:07] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+23 and gets 33." [1d20=10]
[20:08] <Kotono> "I think so," Elle stares at it, "The dead heart of entropy and death in existance."
[20:10] <Alicia> "Looks like it to me too," Alicia nods. "Going there unprotected is suicide - we'd want either death ward or a spell to protect against planar traits before going there. We'd also need Latha to even get there. Antenora, can you go to the garrison and find her? And do you have any scrolls that would help, Elle?"
[20:11] <Kotono> "I have a few, but be careful. If you die there..." She looks down, "Don't become another Alice."
06[20:13] * Alicia nods, shuddering at the thought of what Elle must've gone through. She can think of few things more traumatic than watching a friend die to protect you, only to immediately rise as a screaming vengeful wraith...
[20:13] <Alicia> "We'd have to be tremendously careful, but this is our best chance to destroy it while it's weakened... I won't force anyone to go there, though," she concludes for Pollyanna and Antenora's benefit.
[20:15] <Kotono> "You don't need to force me," Antenora says, "If you're going, I'm going."
[20:15] <Kotono> Pollyanna takes a breath, "It's my duty to protect Balmuria. If that takes me to the plane of entropy, that's where it takes me."
[20:16] <Kotono> After that, "I'll get Latha now, if your'e ready," Antenora steps away.
[20:17] <Alicia> "I'm glad to have both of you on my side," Alicia gives the duo a smile, before nodding to Antenora. "Lets get ready, yes."
[20:18] <Kotono> OOC: So it's you three angels and Polly?
[20:18] <Alicia> OOC: yep
[20:20] <Kotono> OOC: Gimme just a sec.
[20:23] <Kotono> OOC: Okay, what spells are prepped before you teleport?
[20:24] <Alicia> OOC: one thing first - using arcane sight to see what spells are on Death while waiting on Anty and Latha. Taking 10 for 34 on spellcraft.
[20:24] <Kotono> OOC: Arcane sight doesn't work through scying, remember.
[20:24] <Alicia> OOC: it's basically detect magic +. But okay, I'll ask Elle to check for me?
[20:27] <Kotono> OOC: One abjuration spell up.
[20:28] <Alicia> OOC: isn't her spellcraft good enough to id the spell?
[20:28] <Kotono> OOC: Mage armor.
[20:30] <Alicia> OOC: Okay. As for buffs? GMW on Latha and Anty. Heroism on Self, Anty, Polly (Latha can self-cast it on herself). Channelled Might of the Planetar onto Latha, Might of the Planetar on self. Avoid Planar Effects on everyone via scroll. Polly gets to wear the plane-shift ring.
[20:31] <Alicia> OOC: oh, and shield on self, what the hell
[20:34] <Kotono> Thus the party is protected and prepared! Latha looks them over, "Is everyone ready? Once there, we'll want to move as fast as possible. None of us will last long if our protections fail, so haste is of the essence."
06[20:35] * Alicia nods, channelling a greater dispel magic into her sword. "I'll teleport us there as soon as we arrive on the plane. Antenora, you try to shatter that lantern it carries, I'll try to shatter the scythe - Pollyanna and Latha can take care of the regenerating body. Lets go now before our spells wear off?"
[20:37] <Kotono> With that, Latha invokes the might needed! The party winks and vanishes away! Black. Black is everywhere. Nothingness, pitch black oblivion. You are like tiny fading bits of light amid the end of everything, past the end of existance. It is a nightmare of nothing and everything, shaking all over with non-life. You feel your blood freeze, your heart wanting to stop and succumb.
06[20:38] * Alicia trusts in Elle's protections, immediately teleporting the group to the creature she spent an hour watching through Elle's scrying mirror while Antenora fetched Latha.
[20:38] <Alicia> roll 1d100 studied carefully
06[20:38] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d100 studied carefully and gets 19." [1d100=19]
[20:40] <Kotono> Before you, Death shines with green energy! The green energy of it's lantern engulfs you! It feels even worse than thet oblivion around, draining terrifically! "What suicidal bravery...you have come to Death to have your lives snuffed!"
[20:42] <Alicia> "Silence, puppet," Alicia hefts Hell Striker and immediately moves to attack according to the plan, not wanting to waste any time while negative energy gnaws against their protections. "You are no Death, but a mere pawn!"
[20:43] <Kotono> OOC: Go ahead and go, you have a surprise round since you teleporte din on it.
06[20:45] * Alicia uses her boots to freeze time for an instant, buying her a moment to cast true strike as she refuses to let this go to chance before slicing her blade down in a vicious arc to shatter his scythe into shrapnel and kindling!
[20:45] <Alicia> roll 1d20+16 knowledge devotion
06[20:45] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+16 knowledge devotion and gets 21." [1d20=5]

06[20:47] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+33 and gets 50." [1d20=17]
[20:48] <Kotono> Death is too quick! His scythe comes up, parrying Alicia's massive smash!  A moment later, Latha charges in, her mace looking to shatter his body!
[20:49] <Kotono> roll 1d20+35
06[20:49] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+35 and gets 44." [1d20=9]

06[20:50] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 2d6 der and gets 8." [2d6=5, 3]
[20:50] <Kotono> Latha slams into it's body body, shattering bits of dust and motes of bone!  Pollyanna does the same, snapping off a storm of arrows from her safe position back and away!
[20:51] <Kotono> roll 1d20+36 (law devotion)
[20:51] <Kotono> roll 1d20+36 (law devotion)

[20:53] <Kotono> A hail of arrows nearly shreds apart the bony body, leaving only a few bits clinging to it's shawl! Antenora charges in, throwing everything she has to a strike on it's lantern!

Above, a fast skull-face appears, brown and black! A field of scythes spins around, enveloping the party, dancing and slicing at all of you and shielding the great skull face above!

06[21:53] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 12d4+222+8d6+4d6+4d8+24d4 and gets 377." [12d4=4, 4, 2, 1, 4, 4, 1, 1, 1, 2, 4, 4][8d6=3, 4, 2, 5, 5, 2, 1, 4][4d6=2, 3, 3, 5][4d8=5, 8, 4, 5][24d4=1, 4, 3, 2, 1, 2, 1, 4, 1, 4, 1, 4, 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 4, 4, 4, 2, 3, 4]
[21:55] <Kotono> With an finality, Death's face breaks apart! A howling scream is heard from horizon to horizon! "This is impossible...you can't kill DEATH!!...!!!!" With a burst the skull rots away into black smoke, choking the air around you. Closer now, you can hear mournful, agonized howlings... OOC: Free act.
06[21:56] * Alicia looks around for the light of the green lantern. "Lets grab the lantern and get out of here," she suggests grimly, knowing that when her skin turns back to normal instead of green she's going to be really feeling the fatigue.
[21:56] <Kotono> The lantern drifts below, seen like a hazy bit of light from far away.
[21:56] <Kotono> "We need to hurry, more are coming," Latha says, "Our wounds are not insignifigant."
[21:57] <Alicia> "Come on," Alicia urges, flying down to grab the lantern and stuff it in the portable hole.
[21:57] <Kotono> OOC: Make a fort save as you do so.

[21:58] <Kotono> Alicia feels weak on handling the lantern, but gets it into her hole fast! LAtha takes there hands, "Back tothe Prime!" With that, the world shifts!

06[21:58] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d9 and gets 1." [1d9=1]
[21:59] <Kotono> You appear on small island, only the size of Alicia's house or so. It's dominated by a stone momument in the center, but is otherwise lightly grassy. The sea surrounds it completely.
06[22:00] * Alicia wonders why they always arrive at sea when they do this. "Good job everyone," she congratulates the group, blinking a moment and going to examine the monument.
[22:01] <Kotono> Antenora rubs her bleeding arm, wounds mending. "It's a start."  OOC: Lay on hands, full.
[22:02] <Kotono> The stone monument is a slab of stone jutting out of the soil. Written on it in faded letters of Common, "Naygon."
[22:02] <Alicia> "Anyone ever heard of Naygon?" Alicia asks, vaguely curious as to why someone would put a monument way out here.
[22:02] <Kotono> OOC: You can make K:R if you like.

[22:04] <Kotono> "Naygon...It's a warped form of Dagon, Abyssial Lord of the 89th layer." Latha kneels before it, before raising her mace. "Master of forbidden and vile lore."
06[22:06] * Alicia grimaces, looking for any lingering evil auras or magic here, her eyes glowing blue as she does so.

06[22:07] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+26 spellcraft and gets 37." [1d20=11]
[22:09] <Alicia> "The taint of evil still lingers, and I can sense necromantic magic here as well," Alicia remarks uncomfortably. "It descends beneath the surface... we should come back to investigate later, but for now we should return to Balmuria."
[22:09] <Kotono> "Let's go home then," Antenora says, "Though I admit were the circumstances not what they were, I would like to eradicate this on the spot."
[22:11] <Alicia> "Tempting, but it may be more fruitful if we see where it leads, we're just in the best shape to pursue it," Alicia suggests, gathering everyone together and teleporting back to Elle's shop.
[22:11] <Alicia> roll 1d100
06[22:11] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d100 and gets 16." [1d100=16]

[Corwin]

[19:15] <Kotono> --
[19:16] <Kotono> After resting up, Alicia prepares to teleport to the Galkass mountains...OOC: Going along or...? Either way, roll TP and destination?
[19:17] <Alicia> OOC: I'll take Anty along
[19:17] <Alicia> roll 1d100 studied carefully, portal to earth
06[19:17] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d100 studied carefully, portal to earth and gets 54." [1d100=54]
[19:19] <Kotono> Woosh! The portal to earth is as you remember it. Several human and larger sized earth elementals are about here, working the walls of the cave. They seem to be inscriping glyphs and adding carvings.
[19:19] <Alicia> "Greetings," Alicia speaks up in Terran as soon as they arrive. "Is your leader present?"
[19:26] <Kotono> One comes and speaks to Alicia in kind, the size of a boulder, "He is. You are in good standing with him. Come."
[19:27] <Alicia> "Lead on," Alicia nods, doing her best to mask her tiredness. Things look peaceful here, but she might as well relay the information across so they're forewarned if trouble does land on their doorstep.
[19:30] <Kotono> Antenora says close, smothering her own yawn with a flicker of her face muscles. You are taken to their leader, sitting on a throne of stone. It speaks naught when the two are in his presence, but looks to them instead.
[19:32] <Alicia> "Greetings," Alicia ducks her head respectfully. "We come with a warning - numerous cities on the surface have been attacked by fierce burrowing monsters and undead. We believe the ones responsible are also the ones who first built the portal you use, so it's possible they may have an interest in your domain as well."
[19:33] <Kotono> "We thank you for this information," It's words are slow, dragging like stones tumbling down a hill. "Our realm has been peaceful in this time. We will be vigliant and have been, since the sign of the Black Rock Triskelion."
[19:37] <Alicia> Well, this hasn't been terribly productive, but it's still a nice neighbourly thing to do. Alicia decides to satisfy her curiousity on one point before departing, however, "I'm glad to hear that. I won't take much more of your time, then, but have you had any success in locating the ley line near here?"
[19:39] <Kotono> "We come closer," he speaks, "The inevitability of it's discovery is certain."
06[19:42] * Alicia nods. "Would that I had the time to assist you, but matters on the surface continue to demand my attention. Until next time," she bows, backing away from the throne and intending to teleport once outside of the chamber since it's a bit more polite.
[19:43] <Kotono> Once outside of the chamber, Antenora yawns vastly and stretches. "Damnable magic of Death. I feel like I could sleep for a month, but the same ideas keep going around and around in my head."
[19:46] <Alicia> "The problem is that most of our leads are hard to access - tracking a slaad across three planes or seeking out the Prince of evil earth elementals are hardly minor undertakings, and would leave us overstretched if something does occur back home," Alicia agrees tiredly. "Lets go home, anyway - if no other crisises occur today we can make a fresh start in the morning."
[19:46] <Alicia> roll 1d100 home
06[19:46] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d100 home and gets 2." [1d100=2]
[19:47] <Kotono> "After sleep...we can work harder tomorrow,' Antenora agrees, the two vanishing! OOC: Let me pause you for a few hanging on #evil.
[21:08] <Kotono> It is duskfall. Alicia is finishing dinner with Jessica, Marie, Dawnhope and Antenora. As they chat...
[21:12] <Alicia> A faint flicker of a frown mars Alicia's face but she continues with the current conversation, leaving the sender of the message with only twenty five words of inane dinner-chat to go on.
[21:15] <Kotono> "Hm?" Antenora cocks her head, "Alicia, dinner not agreeing with you?" she smilesa little, "Or did you space out about things again?"
[21:20] <Alicia> "Just thinking about this whole situation," Alicia replies evasively. "It's so frustrating, fumbling around in the dark."
[21:20] <Kotono> "I know..." Antenora closes her eyes, "I know." Rising up and patting Alicia's shoulder. "I'm going to go train and get my mind off of it."
[21:20] <Kotono> Jessica smiles, "Just enjoy dinner right now, sis."
06[21:22] * Alicia forces a smile for her sister's benefit, finishing her dinner before retiring to her room. As soon as she's gone Marie doesn't help matters by immediately blabbing to Jessica that Alicia was disturbed by something suddenly in the middle of dinner, with no apparent cause.
[21:24] <Kotono> OOC: Doing anything in your room right off or...?
02[21:26] * Kobot (~dunefar@ip68-99-109-25.hr.hr.cox.net) Quit (I suck.)
[21:26] <Alicia> Once in her room, Alicia consults with her sword telepathically. 'It's clearly a trap, but I can't place fancy dagger over two people's lives,' she concludes after relaying the demand placed upon her.
[21:27] <Kotono> 'Be strong.' Hell-STriker replies, 'You will triumph over the evil, as you have all others.'
[21:29] <Alicia> 'This is one I'm going to have to triumph over without you helping me, though,' Alicia responds, sighing softly as she starts removing her magical items - save the ring of eternal celerity, of course.
[21:29] <Kotono> Hell-Striker is set down, no further words. As Alicia removes her magical blessings, there is a knock on the door. "Sister?" Jessica calls.
[21:30] <Alicia> Her familiar probably blabbed... Alicia hates being so furtive. "Come in, Jessica," she replies, slipping off her boots and sitting on her bed.
[21:31] <Kotono> Jessica comes in, "Well..." She closes the door behind her, "What's wrong?" Asking softly as she sits next to Alicia, "Marie...well, you know Marie. She said you were upset, bless her."
[21:34] <Alicia> "I just hate what's happening," she replies, dodging the whole truth. "It's like we're only seeing part of what's happening, and there's more we're missing - we don't even know who's really behind this."
[21:35] <Kotono> Going to hug her sister with warmth in her arms, "Antenora's really upset, too. That night was so horrible, but as long as you can't put a stop to it..." Looking down, "It's like a guillotine hanging over our necks."
06[21:37] * Alicia weakly returns the hug. "I know. The sort of power that could unleash such forces against five cities with impunity... it's terrifying, if you let yourself stop and think about it. It's not so bad when you're busy and doing something, but when things seem to go quiet, that's when it's worst of all."
[21:38] <Kotono> "Yeah. Antenora called it th etime that breeds paranoia and plots." Patting Alicia's back, "But I'm sure you'll figure it out, Mystra willing."
[21:40] <Alicia> "Either that or have it revealed in a painful fashion when the other shoe drops," Alicia grimaces faintly, shaking her head. "I'm sorry, Jessica, I'm being dreadfully morose - it's been a trying few days. I think I'll try lying down for a while, see if I can relax."
[21:41] <Kotono> "Okay." Jessica stands up. "Sleep well, and dream of Dweomerheart."
[21:42] <Alicia> "Thanks, sister," Alicia stands up as well to see Jessica out. Once she's alone again, she resumes removing her magical jewellery and kneels beside her bed, praying to Mystra for the strength to get through tonight, and refreshing her sense of the divine.
[21:43] <Kotono> This passes well and peacefully. Alicia feels her worries leave her, resting deep in her prayers. Yet...'Alicia.' Antenora's voice is heard, after that a knock on her door. 'We need to talk.'
[21:44] <Alicia> Damn, she'd just been about to leave, too! "Come in, Antenora," she responds verbally, getting up and dusting off her knees.
[21:44] <Kotono> Antenora enters, replying mentally. 'Latha got in contact with me for Seira, through Amaryl. We need to talk - there's been a demand placed on her tonight.'
[21:46] <Alicia> 'If it's the same as the demand that was placed on me then she also would've been told not to tell anyone,' Alicia remarks, sighing in defeat and sitting back down on the mattress.
[21:46] <Kotono> '...hmph.' Antenora mutters, 'I suspect it is then...damnations, Seira.' Antenora sits next to Alicia. 'What was your demand?'
[21:47] <Alicia> 'Go to Kondrux's former lair, alone, with no weapons or armour or magic items except for those stupid gnomish artifacts... of course I gave mine to Donald, but I suppose our foes aren't quite up to date on recent developments,' Alicia summarises wearily.
[21:48] <Kotono> 'Shit.' Antenora says darkly, every word full of venom. 'It more or less is, from what I gathered. What are we going to do then?'
[21:51] <Alicia> 'If I don't comply then Claris and Lord Drake will suffer for it, so I don't see that I have much choice. I can try to work things out once there, but when you get right down to it, I'm going in blind.'
[21:51] <Alicia> Alicia finally pegs that they might be under observation and this silence is perhaps curious, so she fills it by speaking aloud. "I had Dawnhope and Marie check with Rosamund and Ajan this morning. At least they're both fine."
[21:52] <Kotono> "Small favors. No matter who's behind this, there's been too many losses." Meanwhile, Antenora sighs. 'I understand. If you decide you want me to come...say the word.'
[21:53] <Alicia> "It seems they're focused on the cities, although I still don't know to what end..." Alicia muses emptily. 'It's too big a risk for their hostages. I'll try to come up with a plan when I'm there, but at the end of the day I'm willing to sacrifice the dagger if it saves Claris and Lord Drake.'
[21:54] <Kotono> "Chaos?" Antenora shrugs, "If governments are decapitated, order will break down." In her mind, 'I agree. It's...the best thing to do if you have to, if it saves them. You can always take the dagger back from them, and...even at worst, if there's a more terrible motive behind it...we'll stop them anyway.'
[21:56] <Alicia> 'As a weapon it's nice but hardly a world-shattering threat like Arondaaq - I can give it up easily. And if they want to use it to get to Daa-vid, they still need to get through Ajan.' "You're probably right," she agrees. "Anyway, it's late, and we've both had a long day..."
[21:59] <Kotono> "I know." Antenora goes and takes Alicia's hand, "If you need anything or just want to talk..." she says, rising. 'Good luck. Mystra watch over you, Alicia.'
[22:00] <Alicia> "I'll see you tomorrow," Alicia promises as she squeezes the hand back, a bit more earnestly than a normal bidding of goodnight.
[22:00] <Kotono> OOC: Ball's in your court then.
[22:03] <Alicia> A few minutes to center herself after Antenora leaves, Alicia borrows a pair of hiking boots from her sister before she teleports to Malmuth.
[22:03] <Alicia> roll 1d100 refugee camp seen casually
06[22:03] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d100 refugee camp seen casually and gets 51." [1d100=51]
[22:04] <Kotono> Alicia appears in the refugee camp without incident.
06[22:04] * Alicia then goes to find Donald back where she saw him with Pollyanna and Antenora this morning.
[22:06] <Kotono> Donald's found practicing in a quiet corner of the camp. The Second Resort is in hand, Seira's blade flashing as he thrusts and parries and slashes with it.
06[22:08] * Alicia blinks in surprise at seeing Donald with that weapon. "Good evening, Donald. Found an appreciation for gnomish weapons, have you?" she greets him.
[22:09] <Kotono> "Oh yeah, Seira traded me while she gets Guardianil fixed by Lagann." Stopping to wipe his brow, "I'm wondering if I can sweet-talk her into letting me use it. It's incredible!"
[22:10] <Alicia> "Well, if you're using that then you won't mind letting me have the dagger back?" Alicia offers, wondering what Seira's playing at.
[22:11] <Kotono> "Sure," Donald stops and hands over the dagger. He then grins, "You seem to be in a good mood. You know, the last time you were in a a good mood you were a LOT of fun to be around..." With a big ol' grin, "You remember?"
06[22:13] * Alicia is pretty far from being in a good mood. Either her acting skills are that good or Donald is that stupid. Sadly it's probably the latter. "I was possessed by an aspect of primal chaos. My mercurial mood could have easily led to me punching you," she replies tartly, slipping the dagger into her boot.
[22:14] <Kotono> "Yeah, yeah," Donald waves a hand, "Primal chaos this, uptight that. Relax. So what if horrible dark forces are attacking the world? It's not an excuse to go around brooding all over."
[22:16] <Alicia> "I suppose you think we should have a nice senseless roll in the hay since tomorrow we might be dead?" Alicia asks in an unimpressed tone, wishing she hadn't sheathed the dagger quite so quickly.
[22:17] <Kotono> "Oh no. I was going to suggest you and Antenora get in touch with your chaotic sides...preferably with syrup and sugar involved." Now grinning ear to ear, an din a softer voice, "What I'm saying is to lighten up. Things'll work out in the end, they always do."
06[22:21] * Alicia gives him a smile that doesn't reach her eyes. "Trust me, Donald. Much as I prefer Antenora's company over yours, you manage to place higher on my list than she does for that sort of thing. Goodnight." She walks away, leaving him with that to chew on.

06[19:10] * Hatbot --> "Ebiris rolls 1d20+28 and gets 43." [1d20=15]
[19:15] <Tiny_Ko_Army> Titans are wild and chaotic outsiders, livers of life and masters of destiny.  Most are chaotic good, though some drift to chaotic neutral or chaotic evil, such as Melancton.  They possess potent physical powers above even a balor or a pit fiend; they are also greatly gifted with spell like abilities such as quickened chain lightnings, meteor swarm, gate, word of chaos, etherealness, invisibility and other such nasty things.
[19:16] <Tiny_Ko_Army> Lawful weapons are needed to seriously harm them, and stronger ones need epic weapons as well. They have spell resistance but lack the immunities to elements most outsiders have.

03[19:30] * Ebiris is now known as Alicia
[19:31] <Tiny_Ko_Army> The rooms at the garrison are military and clean. Celebrimbor's body sits on the bed, hands folded in his lap. Saul sits next to him, looking into his eyes. After some quiet pause, "This is a reach. It may work or it may not, but..." Standing up, "The question is, what do we ask him?"
[19:33] <Alicia> "Maybe ask where they took him?" Alicia posits, eyeing the soul-less elf uncomfortably. "I don't know that he'd be able to tell us anything useful, though..."
01[19:34] <Seira> "Well, we know a couple of names for those Dark Six, yeah?" Seira says, studiously averting her eyes from Celebrimbor and studying the ceiling. "We can start by asking him if the Six had him captured, and if he can't answer, we'll see if his captors dropped a name or two while addressing each other. Maybe ask if they have more than Claris hostage or prisoner. Ask if they're all undead?
01[19:34] <Seira>  If the captors are in league with demons?"
[19:34] <Tiny_Ko_Army> "I know." Saul smooths his clothes, "This is entirely unexplored territory. Even if it works, they may have taken precautions or simply not let him see anything telling. But Waukeen-damned if it's not better than sitting on our hands."
01[19:34] <Seira> "I wish it could've remained unexplored," Seira mutters.
[19:36] <Tiny_Ko_Army> "A fine start. We'll see from there if he's answering questions," Saul says, bowing his head. "Step back as I intone the magic."
[19:39] <Tiny_Ko_Army> Saul closes his eyes, drawing lines in th eair with his fingers towards the grounds. Circle and pentagrams appear beneath him, scrawled with necromantic symbols. Saul's voice starts to chant, low and rising in tone. "I am Saul! Magic of the Weave, hear my call! Kelemvor, stand aside! Shar, spill your secrets through this mouth! Waukeen, bless this magic! In my name and the name of magic, hear my request!" In words of draconic he calls, a
[19:39] <Tiny_Ko_Army> In words of draconic he calls, as...(More)
[19:41] <Tiny_Ko_Army> Celebrimbor's body buckles, leaning forward. Saul's eyes blaze with black fire, reaching out. "Celebrimbor. Answer me, tell me of what happened to you!"
[19:43] <Tiny_Ko_Army> Celebrimbor's head bobbles forward, "...bleak...black, bleak black bleak black. Bleak black bleak black...bleak...black...nightmare."
[19:44] <Tiny_Ko_Army> Saul reaches out, holding Celebrimbor's shoulder. "What was bleak and black? Where were you taken? Do you know? Another realm? Another plane? Do you know at all?"
[19:45] <Tiny_Ko_Army> "Bleak...bleak...bleak...Bleak...ren....Bleak Rendor...nightmare..." Celebrimbor looks to Saul, "The nightmare of oblivion."
[19:46] <Tiny_Ko_Army> Glancing away a mere moment, "Mean anything to you two?" Saul asks.
06[19:46] * Alicia watches in sick fascination as knowledge is dragged forth from the empty shell. She's seen it done with corpses before, but it was never as disturbing as this. "Bleak Rendor?" she repeats, wracking her brain.
[19:46] <Alicia> OOC: knowledge?
[19:46] <Tiny_Ko_Army> OOC: P.
[19:46] <Alicia> roll 1d20+23
06[19:46] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+23 and gets 35." [1d20=12]
06[19:51] * Alicia bites her lip, dredging up memories. "I heard it in a song once, years ago..." she remarks, thinking hard. "Damn, I can't remember most of what it was about, but the name's definitely familiar. It was something to do with turning life into undeath, a terrible place in the plane of negative energy."
[19:51] <Tiny_Ko_Army> "Another tip towards the Dark Six. A place where a lich would be at home," Saul grimaces, "Celebrimbor, what happened to Claris? Do you know?"
[19:53] <Tiny_Ko_Army> Celebrimbor's body quakes all over. "...taken...to what was...the Neverborn..."
[19:55] <Alicia> "What's the Neverborn?" Alicia asks breathlessly.
[19:56] <Tiny_Ko_Army> OOC: You can make an K:R check if you lik.e
[19:56] <Tiny_Ko_Army> "Neverborn..." Saul bites his lip down, closing his eyes a moment. "It almost..."
[19:56] <Alicia> roll 1d20+14
06[19:56] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+14 and gets 16." [1d20=2]
[19:56] <Tiny_Ko_Army> roll 1d20+26
06[19:56] * Hatbot --> "Tiny_Ko_Army rolls 1d20+26 and gets 31." [1d20=5]
[19:57] <Tiny_Ko_Army> "Dammit...I can almost..." Saul curses, "The Neverborn, what is it?"
[20:00] <Tiny_Ko_Army> "What must not be. A crown of chaos, a mantle of death." Celebrimbor's eyes leak tears, "The end. The end. The end. The end. The end. The end. The end. The end. The end. The end. The END THE END THE END THEND!"
01[20:01] <Seira> "Were Celebrimbor and Claris taken to be used as leverage, to trade for the Resorts? Or was that something the captors saw an opportunity for and took? Why do they need the Resorts, anyhow, and do they need more than our two?"
[20:01] <Tiny_Ko_Army> Saul hisses, "It sounds so damned familiar. I've heard that term somewhere before, but I can't remember where." Saul takes a breath, "I'll try those next."
06[20:02] * Alicia cringes a bit at Celebrimbor's crying and droning, but doesn't interrupt.
[20:03] <Tiny_Ko_Army> "Be calm." Saul places a hand on Celebrimbor's shoulder, his quaking body wearin ga mask of terror. "Do you know why they took you and Claris?"
[20:03] <Tiny_Ko_Army> "Tribute...riches...tribute...to...Neverborn..." Celebrimbor looks up to Saul.
[20:04] <Alicia> "It ate their souls," Alicia concludes, horrified. Bad enough when she thought their souls were imprisoned, but this... this is the absolute worst thing imaginable.
01[20:05] <Seira> "Did it, or are they still held somewhere?" Seira asks urgently.
[20:05] <Tiny_Ko_Army> Saul's face becomes utterly calm now, "I understand. Do you know who took you; was it the Dark Six or any named Glaciante Devarim or Adammal?"
[20:08] <Tiny_Ko_Army> "The reaper...the death...the reaper incarnate...a leering skull wearing a crown of hoary white, the jailor."
[20:09] <Tiny_Ko_Army> "Good. You're almost done. Did it ...eat souls, or did it just take them and hold them or...how did you lose your soul?" Saul asks.
[20:10] <Tiny_Ko_Army> "Black...black bleak...bleak...bleak black gem. A million points of darklight...pentagram...of chaos...storms...and...the whore..."
[20:12] <Tiny_Ko_Army> "Any of that register for you?" Saul looks back, "One more question's left, too."
[20:14] <Alicia> "The reaper would be the one we killed yesterday," Alicia remarks. Odd that they found it 'in the wild' so to speak rather than at their jail. "The rest of it's too vague."
[20:15] <Tiny_Ko_Army> "A pentagram of chaos, storms and the whore? Hmph." Saul shakes his head, "Seira, what about you? Anything?"
01[20:17] <Seira> "Why were our five cities targetted?"
[20:19] <Tiny_Ko_Army> Saul repeats that very question! Celebrimbor's head shakes. "Knowledge I know not...unknown knowledge." With that, Celebrimbor's head slumps down, his glazed over eyes returning to normal. Saul falls back onto the bed, propping himself up with his elbows. HIs color is waxen as he slowly sits up. "So what do we have here?"
01[20:20] <Seira> "The hope that Celebrimbor's state is still reversible?"
[20:21] <Tiny_Ko_Army> "Of course we do. Waukeen knows that we'll do that." Rubbing his forehead as he stands slowly, "Let's get some fresh air and talk about this. Bleak Rendor, neverborn, pentagrams of chaos, whores and storms...what does it all mean together?"
01[20:22] <Seira> "Don't forget the million points of darklight, I guess," Seira adds. "Didn't we come across darklight before?"
[20:22] <Alicia> "If there's anything left of his soul, killing this Neverborn thing is the only way to save it. And that's a big if to start with," Alicia states grimly. Now she's really regretting her failed attempt at bargaining with the titan last night. "It showed up in Demedais's prophecies a lot," she nods distractedly to Seira.
01[20:23] <Seira> "Doesn't have to be," Seira voices. "They could've placed it in that gem he mentioned."
[20:24] <Tiny_Ko_Army> As he starts to walk out, a glance back at Celebrimbor, "We need to figure out these mysteries as fast as we can. Bleak Rendor, a place in the negative energy plane where death takes over life. Neverborn I can't put anything on. Chaos seems to be recurring, doesn't it? An entropic reaper is a creature of chaos, and isn't that what we thought Death was?"
[20:26] <Alicia> It's a bit of a stretch but Alicia isn't going to stamp on hope. "Yes," she nods to Saul. "We're going to have to find a way to Bleak Rendor, somehow."
[20:27] <Tiny_Ko_Army> "This makes me wonder if it ties back to the Abyss. Chaos aplenty, negating evil. Further, storms of chaos and evil - that screams Talos, doesn't it? As for whores...well..." With a tired smile, "We know succubi."
01[20:28] <Seira> "Do we actually have a list of temples that were hit in all the cities?" Seira wonders out loud. "Perhaps we were quick in dismissing divine intervention just because it wasn't Torm."
[20:30] <Alicia> "Talos doesn't seem as bad as old scripture paints him," Alicia is compelled to note. "And honestly, Seira, I think Balmuria is the only city 'blessed' with a public temple to an outright evil deity. We're unlikely to find any other unpleasant ones were attacked."
[20:31] <Tiny_Ko_Army> "We could get the Commander to have one for us," Saul says, "He seems the together sort. Also, do you have a copy of this prophecy? If it mentions darklight I'd like very much to read it now."
[20:32] <Alicia> "Demedais had it all written down, we should be able to get a copy at the temple of Helm," Alicia nods.
[20:34] <Tiny_Ko_Army> "Let's get a copy, get a copy of that list from the Commander, gather up any we can think of with the proper learnings and see if any of this clicks together?" Saul remarks as you walk past a window, the morning sunshine cool against the frosted-cold window.  Soldiers walk past, many giving you respect and salutes.
[20:39] <Alicia> "I'll see if I can find Latha and Antenora then we can meet up at Elle's shop with the documents?" Alicia suggests, naming three knowledgable people she knows that are handy.
[20:40] <Tiny_Ko_Army> "I'll see you there," Saul says. OOC: Moving along now?
[20:41] <Alicia> OOC: by all means
[20:43] <Tiny_Ko_Army> Elle still wears black, while Latha and Antenora wear armor and full gear. The group settles into Elle's shop in the back, Saul holding a scroll of parchment. "Alright. We have a defininte mystery here and I think we have several parts of it in front of us. If it were just a children's game, I'd be having fun, but lives and souls are on the line. All of you, lend us your wisdoms so that we can come closer to ending this before it gets an
[20:43] <Tiny_Ko_Army> lend us your wisdoms so that we can come closer to ending this before it gets any worse."
[20:44] <Tiny_Ko_Army> Elle smiles sadly, "Yes. I'll do anything I can to help." Antenora and Latha both quietly voice affirmment as well.
[20:46] <Alicia> "Lets recap what we learned from Celebrimbor first for those who weren't there?" Alicia suggests, before summarising what the soul-less elf told them along with their own suppositions and further points such as what Bleak Rendor could be.
[20:47] <Tiny_Ko_Army> roll 1d20+13 Antenora
06[20:47] * Hatbot --> "Tiny_Ko_Army rolls 1d20+13 Antenora and gets 30." [1d20=17]
[20:47] <Tiny_Ko_Army> roll 1d20+23 Latha
06[20:47] * Hatbot --> "Tiny_Ko_Army rolls 1d20+23 Latha and gets 37." [1d20=14]
[20:47] <Tiny_Ko_Army> "Neverborn..." Latha very suddenly turns pale, "You said Neverborn?"
[20:48] <Alicia> "You've heard of it?" Alicia asks. She figured if anyone had it would be the three millenia old deva.
01[20:48] <Seira> "Any chance these horrible things have equally-powerful enemies?"
[20:52] <Tiny_Ko_Army> "Once. Lathander's teachings were somewhat..." A momentary repreive of a smile, "Erratic. At times He taught me charms and wards, other times He taught me dire warnings. He said that things live on that hav eno business doing so, cursed. There are ones worse than even a winterwight or a lich or a vampire lord. A Neverborn, a child that never lived. Lathander bid me that by all of the light and that all that would ever be, that if I ever
[20:52] <Tiny_Ko_Army>  Lathander bid me that by all of the light and that all that would ever be, that if I ever heard of one to destroy it."
[20:54] <Alicia> Worse than a winterwight... well, the reaper already came close and it was a mere minion, so perhaps she shouldn't be surprised. "What exactly is it?"
[20:56] <Tiny_Ko_Army> "That I know not. His words were a 'child that never lived'." Latha says, "He spoke with overwhelming gravity and seriousness unsuited to His normal moods."
01[20:57] <Seira> "Just how badly does Lathander want them destroyed?" Seira wonders.
[20:59] <Tiny_Ko_Army> "Greatly, I would think on his words." Latha considers this beforelooking Seira in the eye, eyes blazing with light. "Seldom is Lathander serious."
[21:01] <Tiny_Ko_Army> "This fits," Saul says, "The sections on darklight mention a 'lost child," Unrolling the scroll as he looks ahead, "It definintely fits."
[21:01] <Alicia> "Okay, so we know a little bit more about what the Neverborn is," Alicia tries to move things along, sensing this well has been tapped. "So, what are all the prophecies mentioning darklight? I recall there were several..."
[21:01] <Tiny_Ko_Army> Saul begins to speak...
[21:01] <Tiny_Ko_Army> 5.1
[21:01] <Tiny_Ko_Army> Lost child will pour lifeblood in darklight
[21:01] <Tiny_Ko_Army> Yet the gleaming will never sink below
[21:01] <Tiny_Ko_Army> The endless march of death's ascension high
[21:01] <Tiny_Ko_Army> 5.2
[21:01] <Tiny_Ko_Army> Sterling mercy will not rise that night
[21:01] <Tiny_Ko_Army> Shattered gleaming will lie in mourning repose
[21:01] <Tiny_Ko_Army> Dirge eternal in the darklight that looms
[21:01] <Tiny_Ko_Army> 5.3
[21:01] <Tiny_Ko_Army> Every end begets sparks fertile and new
[21:01] <Tiny_Ko_Army> Blessed be the lost child in darklight
[21:01] <Tiny_Ko_Army> One day all will begin once more
[21:02] <Tiny_Ko_Army> 12.1
[21:02] <Tiny_Ko_Army> Noble hearts seek the infinite answer six
[21:02] <Tiny_Ko_Army> Darklight brightened with the fairy music summoned
[21:02] <Tiny_Ko_Army> Freeing the echos of tempered divine time
[21:02] <Tiny_Ko_Army> 12.2
[21:02] <Tiny_Ko_Army> The kingdom comes in vivid greatness unbound
[21:02] <Tiny_Ko_Army> It shall mark beginning and end equal
[21:02] <Tiny_Ko_Army> A warm breeze and wonderful child's laughter
[21:02] <Tiny_Ko_Army> 12.3
[21:02] <Tiny_Ko_Army> A crown of salt and roses woven
[21:02] <Tiny_Ko_Army> Worn by the smiling child of life
[21:02] <Tiny_Ko_Army> Shall be more powerful than any blade
[21:04] <Tiny_Ko_Army> "Y'know," Antenora clears her throat, "That's yet another time a crown's been mentioned, too. A crown of chaos, a crown of hoary white, a crown of salt and roses. Three of them, no less."
[21:04] <Alicia> "We thought the fairy music one referred to the trapped eladrin children on Androylnne," Alicia points out. "And Noonbreath said that Melancton had crusaded to protect them, prior to his disappearing for six thousand years."
01[21:05] <Seira> "A connection, yes," Seira agrees, listening for the most part.
[21:06] <Tiny_Ko_Army> "But it speaks of a child of life," Elle bows her head, "Whatever is behind thi sis far from a child of life."
[21:07] <Alicia> "The lost child and the child of life are perhaps different beings," Alicia ponders. "Notice how they're grouped, three belonging to five, and three to twelve. They might only be interconnected within each group. But there's still Darklight appearing in each..."
01[21:08] <Seira> "Maybe the two places are literally connected to each other?"
[21:08] <Tiny_Ko_Army> "There's another verse that's relevant, too, Saul speaks it out as well.
[21:09] <Tiny_Ko_Army> 4.1
[21:09] <Tiny_Ko_Army> When at farthest outreaches of the falling
[21:09] <Tiny_Ko_Army> Dominion of the old a stormy Umberlee
[21:09] <Tiny_Ko_Army> Abates her hate and shows the way
[21:09] <Tiny_Ko_Army> 4.2
[21:09] <Tiny_Ko_Army> Malice of the dark six waits timeless
[21:09] <Tiny_Ko_Army> Those who forsook all but revelation dark
[21:09] <Tiny_Ko_Army> Tossed essence for a mantle of lies
[21:09] <Tiny_Ko_Army> 4.3
[21:09] <Tiny_Ko_Army> Old ways pounce yet in hidden six
[21:09] <Tiny_Ko_Army> The gateway to the Mother's gifts again
[21:09] <Tiny_Ko_Army> Shall open to mortalkind with splendid mercy
[21:11] <Tiny_Ko_Army> Putting the scroll down before steepling his hands together, "A mother and child, perhaps? The mother part is what struck me on reading."
[21:11] <Tiny_Ko_Army> "Two places?" Antenora looks sidelong to Seira, "Well, we know of a place named Bleak Rendor. Do they have another base of operations?"
06[21:11] * Alicia resists the urge to sigh as things grow more complex. Puzzling over obscure prophecies is the domain of grey sages with too much time on their hands. Time is something they really don't have. As she's about to voice her frustration, an idea occurs, "Farthest reaches of the falling... maybe there's a clue at the edge of the bay? Something that'll lead us to the Dark Six?"
01[21:13] <Seira> "No, but we know where the trapped eladrin are, and we know that titan was there, like Alicia said," Seira tells Antenora quietly. "Or there could be something at the bay, perhaps, yes."
[21:15] <Tiny_Ko_Army> "It's a good idea. It definintely has something to do with the sea, no doubt." Saul considers, "We also know Androlynne ties into this somehow. Also...another thing struck me. The only other mention of a woman we have to work with is the 'whore' Celebrimbor mentioned."
[21:17] <Alicia> "Remember this is what Celebrimbor overheard from his captors. It could just be a female servant of theirs that they hold in little esteem," Alicia points out.
[21:20] <Tiny_Ko_Army> "Also, if it's chaos, that puts it down to what, the entire population of succubi in the Abyss?" Antenora chuckles. "Just for starters."
[21:20] <Tiny_Ko_Army> "It may not be connected," Saul admits, "I'm drawing castles in the air and seeing which ones don't fall over."
[21:22] <Tiny_Ko_Army> "It could also mean it has something to do with the Fairest Star," Elle coughs, clearing her throat thickly before she goes on. "If this doesn't work, the dragon Ajan knows more about it than any other I can think of."
06[21:23] * Alicia nods. "Unlike Neverborn it's a very common and not very evocative term, so it helps little," she tells Saul before considering Elle's words. "It's worth a shot going over things with him and seeing what he says."
[21:24] <Tiny_Ko_Army> "Try those things?" Saul says at last, "We'll continue pouring over this, but if some of us investigate leads at the same time.."
01[21:24] <Seira> "We're bound to come across Ajan soon enough, so that at least is easily achieved," Seira agrees.
[21:27] <Alicia> "I could fly out to the edge of the bay and see if the Bitch Queen chooses to abate her hate and show anything helpful, today," Alicia offers. "If anything comes up here, Jessica can summon me back."
[21:29] <Tiny_Ko_Army> OOC: Okay, Seira into #evil then?
[21:29] <Tiny_Ko_Army> "WAnt company?" Antenora asks as Alicia prepares to go.
[21:30] <Alicia> roll 1d20+14 religion what sacrifices does Umberlee like?
06[21:30] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+14 religion what sacrifices does Umberlee like? and gets 32." [1d20=18]
[21:32] <Tiny_Ko_Army> Umberlee is vain and greedy. Wealth and beauty offered to her pleases her.
[21:32] <Tiny_Ko_Army> Anything along those lines. More evil inclined sorts would sacrifice, but y'know.
[21:33] <Alicia> "It would be nice, but it's too risky," Alicia apologises. "Better for you to be here in case trouble comes up, since Jessica's bracelet will only be able to call me back."
[21:34] <Tiny_Ko_Army> "Understood," Antenora nods briefly, "I'll be around in case anything happens here then."
[21:35] <Alicia> "I'll teleport back when I'm done but it'll take me a few hours to fly that far. Hopefully I'll return around midday," Alicia tells her friend, before taking flight and flying North!
[21:36] <Tiny_Ko_Army> Thus Alicia flies! The snow has stopped, the rims of the bay crusted with snow. Thus Alicia flies to the outermost point of the bay, blue and green water lapping against each other. The passage into the greater sea is ahead, the sun shining watery, weak winter sunshine down.
[21:42] <Alicia> Reaching the Western side of the bay's mouth, Alicia hovers in the air about twenty feet above the water and opens up her money-pouch. "Queen of the Depths, hear me!" she calls out to the waves, disliking the idea of petitioning such a deity but resolved to do so. "In your name I give this sacrifice freely!"
[21:42] <Alicia> She starts casting glittering platinum coins to the surf below, a fortune squandered in moments. "Take of my offering and show the way!"
[21:42] <Tiny_Ko_Army> OOC: How much?
[21:42] <Alicia> OOC: 1,000gp tossed away
[21:46] <Tiny_Ko_Army> The coins fall into th eocean! They splash in, each one lost into the sea! Alicia's vision begins to haze over, shimmering with indistinct light. Below, she looks at solid land, a seashore full of forest just beyond it's beaches.
[21:48] <Alicia> Slowing the rate of her flapping, Alicia descends down, testing her feet on this new land beneath her.
[21:49] <Tiny_Ko_Army> The ground is solid. As she does, she finds that above, a great light begins to shine.
06[21:51] * Alicia settles her feet on the ground, looking up at the sky. An idea starts to form, recognition of what she's being shown...
[21:54] <Tiny_Ko_Army> Above, the sky is transfixed into light! Glorious light, light that Alicia knows has little equal. It is as if the sun itself was crashing down to the world. It engulfs everything above, racing downward!
[21:55] <Alicia> This isn't what she expected - she was expecting to find a portal or somesuch, not a vision of the past. But now that she's here Alicia remains transfixed, watching as the Fairest Star falls to Earth...
[22:00] <Tiny_Ko_Army> It is the most beautiful thing Alicia has seen. It races down and down and down and down and down...and yet...her vision is pulled. Far away, in the trees...a man of death stands. His skin is like dead parchment, a black orb in his hands. A field of silver and white energy encases him, as well as another. A tiny baby, yet far too large. It's dead skin is beautiful, one eye scarred over. The other is a thrilling dead black, staring ahead.
06[22:05] * Alicia is sufficiently distracted from the instrument of Daa-vid's apotheosis by the sight of these strangers. Are they watching this remotely as she is, or where they there the first time? The man looks like a lich if ever she saw one, does that mean the infant is the Neverborn? Uncertainly, she steps towards them, unsure what she'll even do if she reaches them.
[22:05] <Alicia> Assuming the Fairest Star doesn't impact first.
[22:06] <Tiny_Ko_Army> The man falls back, the field of light starting to shatter as the Fairest Star falls! "It cannot...withstand...even the Curse..." He says in a voice like drying death. "We must not stay."
[22:08] <Tiny_Ko_Army> The child floats in the air, one rotted hand reaching up, It speaks in your mind, speaking about, 'To the south...to the south while there is time. Our plans are not ruined yet.'
06[22:09] * Alicia picks up her pace. What curse? She's now reasonably sure that she's seeing these two in the past, and has less fear of getting closer in order to overhear. How might things have been different if these two had gotten to it before a certain gnome? She cannot say if it would be better or worse, knowing the horrors both are capable of.
[22:09] <Alicia> "Where in the South?" she finds herself asking, sensing this is the lead Umberlee was meant to show her.
[22:14] <Tiny_Ko_Army> Thus Alicia watches and follows! The two zoom ahead, Alicia's vision following! Past mountains...past grasslands, past forests...to the ocean. Thus the two descend into the waves...and seconds later, the shore turns black. A scream is heard, as the ground dies, twisting. The land dies, wasteland spreading in a moment's breath.
06[22:17] * Alicia spins around from the black sea to the dying land racing behind her. Aren't these the wastes South of the desert? Didn't Seira and Demedais say it was made that way by the battles with Daa-vid? Completing her spin she stares at the charnel surf, stepping towards it. Is there redoubt here? Is this where they'll find the Dark Six, or at least some of them?
[22:18] <Tiny_Ko_Army> The sky above is clear. Alicia hovers over the Bay of Sparkling Stars, a feeling of...jealousy? A feeling of envy and jealous lingering in her mind. An irrational, consuming hatred that vanishes like a moment's stomach gas.
[22:21] <Alicia> Jealous? Why would the Goddess of the Sea feel jealous over a misbegotten undead thing like that? It's the only source Alicia can ascribe to the feeling, but she's not sure why. "If you're jealous of those beings, Bitch Queen, be comforted by their impending demise," Alicia mutters, before uttering the magic to teleport herself back to Balmuria's garrison.
[22:21] <Alicia> roll 1d100
06[22:21] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d100 and gets 45." [1d100=45]

[19:46] <Kolunch> Seira and Alicia return to Elle's shop. The others wait for them there, lunch scattered about as well as several old tomes. Once inside, "How'd it go?" Saul looks up. "Turn up anything interesting?"
01[19:49] <Seira> "So Ao, being all-around nasty, apparently terminated the baby of Talos and Malcanthet before it could even be born, which is our Neverborn. Or so Ajan thinks."

03[19:49] * Nabuu is now known as Seira
[19:49] <Kolunch> Seira and Alicia return to Elle's shop. The others wait for them there, lunch scattered about as well as several old tomes. Once inside, "How'd it go?" Saul looks up. "Turn up anything interesting?"
03[19:49] * ChanServ sets mode: +o Seira
[19:49] <Ebiris> "It's probably best if I show you so you can see for yourselves," Alicia suggests, standing back and casting a spell that envelops the room in an illusion which repeats the exact same scene she was shown by Umberlee, from the falling of the Fairest Star, to the conversation between lich and neverborn, to the swift passage to Southern shores of death.
01[19:50] <Seira> "So Ao, being all-around nasty, apparently terminated the baby of Talos and Malcanthet before it could even be born, which is our Neverborn. Or so Ajan thinks," Seira says for her part, before summarizing the other highlights of the conversation.
03[19:50] * Ebiris is now known as Alicia
[19:52] <Kolunch> Latha watches the illusion, her expression turning sickened.
[19:52] <Kolunch> "Talos and Malcanthet?" Antenora's drips with disdain, "I would think that shows Ao has fine sense, besides the part about it coming back as Neverborn."
[19:53] <Kolunch> Elle looks to the image, "A lich...and that too large baby, that's the Neverborn," she murmurs, closing her eyes and turning away. "It's disgusting."
01[19:53] <Seira> "I'm sorry, I think you lost me at the part where he allowed it to come back."
06[19:53] * Alicia doesn't reply to Seira until she's done with her own little performance. "Clearly Ao didn't do a very good job, then," she remarks, rather disgusted by the situation, visions of Mystra swollen with child only for a bloody undead fetus to be ripped from her belly and hurled across the planes rising unbidden to mind.
[19:54] <Kolunch> "The only right and merciful thing is to put it to sleep." Latha looks away from the image as it finishes, "And punish the lich and all the others who supported it."
01[19:55] <Seira> "And see Talos about providing some help, even though he's not allowed to intervene directly. How about it?"
[19:55] <Alicia> "Umberlee has shown us the way," Alicia states at that. "I'm confident I can teleport us to the spot I was shown - even with two thousand years the land can't have changed much. We'll either find an abandoned outpost of the Dark Six, perhaps holding clues, or it will still be active and therefore give us a chance to strike a blow at their forces."
[19:56] <Kolunch> "Then it's a matter of who does what," Saul smooths his shirt, "To find Talos while another group explores this base."
01[19:58] <Seira> "Taking the more direct approach appeals to me," Seira comments.
[19:59] <Alicia> "I'm not sure how helpful Talos could be, if the Gods are unable to directly act against such beings. The neverborn was cursed and banished before it could even be born, so the Stormlord most likely has never even known it," Alicia points out. And asking the mother is even less of an option.
01[20:00] <Seira> "You never know until you ask, really."
[20:04] <Alicia> "How, then?" Alicia asks. "Do we even know where Talos dwells? I had thought Pandemonium, but I have the feeling he's changed perhaps as much as Torm since scriptures were first written."
[20:04] <Alicia> She then pauses and looks at the two outsiders who haven't been kept out of the loop on outer planar goings on unlike everyone else in this world.
[20:05] <Kolunch> "I had been curious on that myself," Latha says, "I hear that Limbo has a new divine realm, a realm called Season's Heart. His old realm was Fury's Heart."
01[20:06] <Seira> "Yes, very subtle," Seira agrees. "Anyone interested in visiting it, by chance?"
[20:07] <Kolunch> "No." Antenora's complexion turns waxen, "Limbo is a place I would need a truly catastrophic reason to visit."
[20:08] <Kolunch> "I'm curious now," Saul nods to Seira, "I would not mind going and seeing this new realm with my own eyes."
[20:08] <Alicia> "This perhaps qualifies, but it's true you're not the best ambassador in this case," Alicia comments delicately in response to Antenora.
01[20:08] <Seira> "Don't get abducted," Seira tells her father.
[20:10] <Kolunch> "Are the two of you going to investigate this base?" Saul asks, "I'll want company, traveling the planes alone is a foolhardy venture."
[20:10] <Alicia> "If you like I could ask Dawnhope or Marielle to go with you," Alicia offers to Saul. "They're perhaps the closest we have to native guides on that side of the Great Wheel. Perhaps Eudard could be persuaded to go as well? He's had dealings with Talos, I understand."
[20:11] <Kolunch> "Eudard is a good guardian," Saul's voice is thoughtful, "Marielle, she's your familiar?"
06[20:12] * Alicia nods. "She's very competent despite her carefree demeanour, and she always carries several banishing arrows that could be used to quickly retreat from Limbo if it became necessary."
[20:14] <Kolunch> "I'll take her," Saul decides, "Latha, if you could manage the transport there to conserve my own magic for the trip back?"

Session Start: Wed Oct 21 20:20:24 2009
Session Ident: #dunes
02[20:20] * Disconnected
02[20:20] * Attempting to rejoin channel #dunes
03[20:20] * Rejoined channel #dunes
03[20:20] * Topic is 'Latha(25)>Death(22)>Alicia(20)>Pollyanna(14)>Antenora(8)'
03[20:20] * Set by Kotono on Wed Oct 14 21:04:25
03[20:20] * Nabuu is now known as Seira
03[20:20] * ChanServ sets mode: +o Seira
01[20:22] <Seira> "I'll see if I can borrow the Sun Blade, then, just in case," Seira says, agreeing with the plan at hand.
[20:25] <Kolunch> OOC: So Saul/Latha/Marie/Alicia/Seira/Eudard are going to Season's heart, then Seira/Latha/Alicia are going to the shore?
[20:25] <Alicia> OOC: Anty, too
[20:27] <Kolunch> OOC: Antenora too? Okay. Seira, you're borrowing Amaryl's Sun Blade?
01[20:28] <Seira> OOC: Yes, unless Amaryl wants to be borrowed instead.
[20:29] <Kolunch> OOC: She can go with you if you like, depending on how you wanna spread your forces. Your call, Seira.
01[20:29] <Seira> OOC: Sure let's go
[20:31] <Kolunch> Thus seven gather together at Elle's shop. Arms and armor are had, the party prepared. "If everyons ir eady," Latha call,s "Join hands."
[20:31] <Kolunch> Amaryl stays close to Seira as she does so, "Season's Heart..." she murmurs, "It sounds almost festive, somehow."
06[20:32] * Alicia obligingly does so, as does her familiar.
06[20:32] * Seira shrugs. "Better than anything fury-themed, that's for sure?"
[20:33] <Kolunch> With a shift, the party is gone! You appear in a hot desert. Heat beats down as the sky clouds over. Rainclouds come, grass springing up as water cascades down to the ground.
[20:33] <Kolunch> OOC: Gah.
[20:33] <Kolunch> With a shift, the party is gone! You appear in a hot desert. Heat beats down as the sky clouds over. Rainclouds come, grass springing up as water cascades down to the ground. A wind blows, cooling rapidly, bits of steam rising from the grassy sand.  The air becomes thick with moisure, humid.
[20:34] <Alicia> "Hey, I like this place already," Marie floats down to the grass growing from sandy desert, before circling up to position herself between Saul and Eudard. "So, which way will we go, first?"
[20:35] <Kolunch> Antenora sneezes, raising a hand over her face to shield from the rain. "Good luck, the three of you. Let's go."
[20:35] <Kolunch> Saul looks about and shrugs, "We'll search and find a settlement or non hostile residents and find more information there." Meanwhile Eudard wipes his face of the rain, which splatters off his steel armor.
[20:36] <Alicia> "Don't offend any deities," Alicia tells her familiar as they close ranks into a smaller circle for the return trip.
01[20:36] <Seira> "You know, it just occured to me," Seira has to point out. "We're in Limbo, aren't we? And without a catastrophic reason, too!"
[20:36] <Kolunch> "We make great sacrifices for what's right," Antenora sneezes again, sniffling and rubbing her nose.
06[20:37] * Seira laughs.
[20:37] <Alicia> "No, we're neck deep in a catastrophe and this is a lead on getting out of it," Alicia corrects. "Good luck you three," she calls as Marie waves back.
[20:37] <Kolunch> Latha takes the hands of th eothers, Season's Heart winking away into a blip of light as...
[20:37] <Kolunch> roll 5d100
06[20:37] * Hatbot --> "Kolunch rolls 5d100 and gets 194." [5d100=85, 19, 9, 11, 70]
[20:37] <Kolunch> roll 1d9
06[20:37] * Hatbot --> "Kolunch rolls 1d9 and gets 7." [1d9=7]
[20:38] <Kolunch> You appear in rugged mountains. The air is chilly, standing near a tall, long cliff. A single shocker lizard lies atop it, limpid and unmoving.
01[20:39] <Seira> "So even they can die out," Seira mutters. "Next, a horrible place of undeath?"
06[20:40] * Alicia nods, taking out the scroll of greater teleport Elle gave her. "Be on guard, we don't know exactly what we'll find over there," she cautions, reading off the words of power to unerringly transport them to the same place Umberlee showed her on the charnel shore of the continent's South coast.
[20:43] <Kolunch> Woosh! The air is cold, blowing off a ruined shoreline of bleak wasteland. It clashes with warmth, not so cold here as to freeze you. Ahead is the ocean, endless and blue, bits of ice lining the shore at points. The sun seems weak but there, distant.
01[20:45] <Seira> "I could take a look beneath the waves," Seira offers. "Unless there's a better idea?"
06[20:46] * Alicia looks around a moment, inland and out to sea, in order to get her bearings. "Alright, we're going to have to go underwater to proceed further - I hope it's not too far, but it'll surely be cold. Does anyone want me to ward them against the chill?"
01[20:48] <Seira> "We should be fine, but I won't say no to precaution if you've got the spells for it."
06[20:49] * Alicia nods and casts resist energy on herself and Seira to ward off cold both natural and unnatural.
[20:50] <Kolunch> "I'll be fine," Antenora says, "More problematic will be breathing underwater."
[20:50] <Alicia> "Seira can fix that," Alicia assures the former erinyes.
01[20:51] <Seira> "I'll manage that, somehow," Seira affirms.
03[20:53] * Mystia is now known as Mystia_GhostFood
06[20:53] * Seira casts water breathing on everyone present.
[20:54] <Kolunch> With the ability to breathe water given, Antenora goes ankle deep in the waves. She shivers, "...the last time we went into the flowing ocean...will be far less fun than this one, I'm afraid."
[20:55] <Alicia> "No, I don't imagine this will be particularly fun at all," Alicia shakes her head, wading into the surf purposefully and continuing until she's beneath the water entirely before swimming perpendicular to the shoreline out to sea.
[20:56] <Alicia> Her eyes glow blue, sensing for magic and the telltale taint of evil as she follows the path walked over two thousand years ago by a lich and a neverborn child.
06[20:56] * Seira opts to keep to the surface, even if it means she is submerged as a result.
[20:57] <Kolunch> As you descend into the water, you see the shore only goes out about ten feet. There is a sharp, long, deep, black drop. It's as if the land ends just before a great chasm, only able to get about chest deep in the water. However ahead, faint evil comes from above, plunging into the waters a little way and going deeper into it.
06[20:57] * Alicia casts message to aid in talking underwater. "Looks like we're going to have to go deep. Everyone stay close together?" she suggests, starting to descend into the chasm.
[20:58] <Kolunch> "Found something?" Antenora follows along, going beneath the waves.
01[20:59] <Seira> "Close enough for a teleport," Seira confirms, after ensuring that Amaryl has the ring to pull off an emergency one if need be.
[20:59] <Alicia> "Speaking of, if I suddenly vanish it means trouble in Balmuria, so don't delay in heading back yourselves."
01[21:00] <Seira> "Naturally. We won't be far behind."
[21:00] <Kolunch> "I have it," Amaryl confirms, "Down below...can everyone see in darkness here?"
[21:01] <Alicia> "For a short distance," Alicia replies. "Antenora, can you see the bottom?" she asks the one with unsurpassed nightvision.
[21:02] <Kolunch> Antenora peers down, "....no. Not form here, I'll take point and keep looking? It's like looking into an endless chasm."
[21:03] <Alicia> "Lets go, then," Alicia agrees, starting to swim downwards and sticking close to Latha.
[21:07] <Kolunch> Thus the party swims down! As they do...
[21:08] <Kolunch> roll 1d20+22
06[21:08] * Hatbot --> "Kolunch rolls 1d20+22 and gets 37." [1d20=15]
[21:08] <Kolunch> After about a minute of swimming down, the water turning heavier and colder, "Incoming," Antenora whispers through Message, "They're coming fast and straight up - more of those dread wraiths, three of them."
01[21:10] <Seira> This is clearly time for a spell!
06[21:10] * Alicia casts mirror image and moves to replace Antenora on point. "Stay back and I'll try to draw their attacks," she suggests, drawing Hell Striker and eliciting a hiss of steam in the water as it ignites.
[21:10] <Alicia> roll 1d4+6
06[21:10] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d4+6 and gets 10." [1d4=4]
06[21:11] * Seira goes for extended dragonskin and heroism, for her part, which she really should've precast.
[21:11] <Kolunch> "Right. Mys pear isn't very effective underwater anyway," Antenora has it out, "They'll be on us and in range of your vision in a moment. If you're going to prepare..."
06[21:13] * Seira draws her own sword, leaving it in Lagann's care.
[21:14] <Kolunch> Amaryl quickly  mouths the words to a shield spell, as things are seen below! Three phantasms, vaguely human like, racing right up towards the party! They scream silently, coming right at you! OOC: Roll init.
[21:14] <Alicia> roll 1d20+7
06[21:14] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+7 and gets 17." [1d20=10]
01[21:14] <Seira> roll 1d20+6

[21:15] <Kolunch> roll 1d20+8
06[21:15] * Hatbot --> "Kolunch rolls 1d20+8 and gets 24." [1d20=16]
01[21:16] <Seira> OOC: Lagann'll just go last
[21:16] <Kolunch> roll 1d20+8 Amaryl
06[21:16] * Hatbot --> "Kolunch rolls 1d20+8 Amaryl and gets 24." [1d20=16]
[21:16] <Kolunch> OOC: Okay.
03[21:17] * Kolunch changes topic to 'Latha=Amaryl(24)>Seira(20)>Alicia(17)>Antenora(11)>Lagann(0)'

06[21:17] * Hatbot --> "Kolunch rolls 1d20+13 and gets 14." [1d20=1]
06[21:17] * Hatbot --> "Kolunch rolls 1d20+13 and gets 16." [1d20=3]
03[21:17] * Kolunch changes topic to 'Wraith 1(26)>Latha=Amaryl(24)>Seira(20)>Alicia(17)>Wraith 3(16)>Wraith 2(14)>Antenora(11)>Lagann(0)'
[21:18] <Kolunch> With a silent scream the first wraith darts right for Antenora!
[21:18] <Kolunch> roll 1d20+16
06[21:18] * Hatbot --> "Kolunch rolls 1d20+16 and gets 20." [1d20=4]

06[21:18] * Hatbot --> "Kolunch rolls 2d6 an dfort incoming and gets 8." [2d6=6, 2]
[21:18] <Kolunch> roll 1d20+28
06[21:18] * Hatbot --> "Kolunch rolls 1d20+28 and gets 47." [1d20=19]
[21:18] <Kolunch> OOC: DR applies.
[21:21] <Kolunch> Antenora's arm is grazed, but she resists the vile draining and rips her arm out of the wraith's ghostly grasp! Latha immediately advances forward, her mace glowing with sunlight! The wraith screams, Latha's mace swinging for it's skull!
[21:21] <Kolunch> roll 1d20+23
06[21:21] * Hatbot --> "Kolunch rolls 1d20+23 and gets 39." [1d20=16]
[21:21] <Kolunch> roll 1d100
06[21:21] * Hatbot --> "Kolunch rolls 1d100 and gets 91." [1d100=91]
[21:22] <Kolunch> roll 1d8+13+2d6
06[21:22] * Hatbot --> "Kolunch rolls 1d8+13+2d6 and gets 21." [1d8=5][2d6=1, 2]
[21:23] <Kolunch> The wraith screams without a word as it's slammed, the sunlight making it's form indistinct and watery! Amaryl hangs back for the moment...OOC: Holding based on what Alicia said. Go, Seira.
01[21:24] <Seira> Stoneskin's familiar influence settling over her, Seira gestures at the slowest of the wraith and conjures three rays of fire to lance through it!
06[21:24] * Alicia moves after the wraith that bypassed her, flanking it with Latha while keeping herself between the remaining wraiths and the rest of the party.
[21:24] <Alicia> OOC: sorry, strike

01[21:25] <Seira> roll 1d100

01[21:25] <Seira> roll 1.5*8d6

[21:27] <Kolunch> Fiery rays lance the wraith as it's penetrated, staggering back in the waters! OOC: Alicia.

06[21:27] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+20 -11pa flanking and gets 25." [1d20=5]
[21:29] <Kolunch> But the wraith is just a little too fast, writhing in thes unlight as Alicia's blade heavily swings past it! OOC: Wraith 3.
[21:29] <Kolunch> The other two wraiths eye the sunlight, before plunging back down into the waters and away! Antenora's wound heals as she takes slow, ponderous swings at the wraith!
[21:31] <Kolunch> roll 1d20+27
06[21:31] * Hatbot --> "Kolunch rolls 1d20+27 and gets 30." [1d20=3]

[21:34] <Kolunch> Antenora manages a few thrusts through it, ripping into it's sunlight perforated body and dealing thrusting gashes! OOC: Lagann.
01[21:34] <Seira> Eager to participate, Lagann makes a good effort to crowd the wraith and penetrate it with his steel!
01[21:34] <Seira> roll 1d20+20
06[21:34] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+20 and gets 22." [1d20=2]

01[21:34] <Seira> roll 1d100
06[21:35] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d100 and gets 25." [1d100=25]
[21:35] <Kolunch> Lagann's blade passes through harmlessly! OOC: Amaryl's going to go ahead and go since the wraith is surrounded.
03[21:35] * Kolunch changes topic to 'Amaryl>Wraith 1(26)>Latha>Seira(20)>Alicia(17)>Wraith 3(16)>Wraith 2(14)>Antenora(11)>Lagann(0)'
[21:35] <Kolunch> As Lagann misses, Amaryl comes forward, the sun blade cutting into the wraith!
[21:36] <Kolunch> roll 1d20+14
06[21:36] * Hatbot --> "Kolunch rolls 1d20+14 and gets 24." [1d20=10]
[21:36] <Kolunch> But the wraith is too fast! It twists and howls, fleeing straight down away from the sun! OOC: The wraith is triggering AoOs from pretty much everyone who's around it.
[21:37] <Alicia> roll 1d20+20 -11pa flanking
06[21:37] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+20 -11pa flanking and gets 23." [1d20=3]

06[21:37] * Hatbot --> "Kolunch rolls 1d100 and gets 37." [1d100=37]
01[21:38] <Seira> OOC: Doesn't it autohit them?
01[21:38] <Seira> roll 3d8+4
06[21:38] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 3d8+4 and gets 22." [3d8=2, 8, 8]
01[21:38] <Seira> OOC: 11 here
[21:38] <Kolunch> OOC: I ruled that, didn't I? Remind me to write it on her sheet then.
[21:40] <Kolunch> roll 3d8+24+4d6
06[21:40] * Hatbot --> "Kolunch rolls 3d8+24+4d6 and gets 58." [3d8=3, 8, 7][4d6=3, 3, 6, 4]
[21:40] <Kolunch> The wraith is torn apart savagely, wounded bad as it flees straight down and out of sight, into the inky darkness below!
[21:40] <Kolunch> OOC: Goa head and act for the moment.
06[21:41] * Seira chases it down, hoping to come close enough to set it on fire!
[21:42] <Alicia> "Well, we'll be seeing them again soon I imagine. Along with any other reinforcements they scare up," Alicia sighs, her bad luck at hitting such creatures continuing as she sedately matches pace with Seira. "Stay close everyone."
[21:44] <Kolunch> OOC: What's your movement speed underwater, Seira?
[21:47] <Kolunch> Seira swims ahead, but doesn't move fast compared to the ethereal wraith, not getting far ahead at all. No sight of it. As Seira swims ahead, Amaryl continues on, "How deep does this go? No bototm yet?"
06[21:48] * Alicia looks expectantly at Antenora there.
[21:50] <Kolunch> As you swim ahead a little further, Antenora peers. After another few minutes, "There," Antenora points, "I can start to see a bottom now. It's...there's definintely something unnatural there. A raised stone slab."
[21:51] <Alicia> "Keep at it, we'll soon be at the bottom, then," Alicia encourages, pausing momentarily to cast heroism before continuing downwards on point.
06[21:52] * Seira decides to boost the Resort and the Sun Blade's chances, for her part.
01[21:53] <Seira> roll 1d20+5
06[21:53] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+5 and gets 18." [1d20=13]
01[21:53] <Seira> OOC: +2, I think, sec
[21:53] <Kolunch> As you continue to swim, a stone slab comes into view. It's quite long and large, carved with strange, incoherent symbols on a glance.
[21:53] <Kolunch> OOC: Gah.
[21:54] <Kolunch> As you continue to swim, a stone slab comes into view. It's quite long and large, carved with strange, incoherent symbols on a glance. The tablet is made of unweathered, undamaged black and gray stone, not a single speck of debris or anything wrong on it. The symbols make no sense on the most casual look. Bits of ice rim the edges of the stone slab.
[21:54] <Kolunch> Antenora stops here, "Something's wrong..."
[21:54] <Kolunch> OOC: Gah, again. -_-
[21:55] <Kolunch> Antenora stops here, "Something's wrong..." She takes a breath, "Do you feel it?"
06[21:55] * Seira drifts close enough to Amaryl to crowd her.
06[21:55] * Alicia nods grimly. "This place is far from the Gods," she affirms, checking for any magic nearby first of all.
[21:55] <Kolunch> Latha's words are quiet, subdued, "I feel forgotten. I feel as if Lathander's sunshine and Celestia's grace are gone, as if I'll never see them again."
[21:55] <Kolunch> OOC: Caster level check, Alicia.
[21:55] <Alicia> roll 1d20+18
06[21:55] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+18 and gets 32." [1d20=14]

06[21:57] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+26 spellcraft and gets 40." [1d20=14]
01[21:57] <Seira> "Is that what the Neverborn's presence feels like?" Seira wonders quietly in response.
[21:58] <Kolunch> "Might be. You said that the Gods can't interact or do anything to the Neverborn, that they're seperated by Ao's curse?" Amaryl murmurs.
01[21:59] <Seira> "You think that extends to us, too?"
[22:03] <Kolunch> "I don't think it does. Lathander instructed me to kill a Neverborn should I ever encounter one." Latha kneels down, peering at the symbols. "Seira, you're skilled with magecraft. Do these mean anything to you?"
06[22:04] * Seira doesn't mind taking a look, if only to take her mind off the sudden melancholy.
[22:05] <Kolunch> OOC: K:A and spellcraft, Seira.

[19:36] <Alicia> "I think this is some sort of teleportation device," Alicia remarks as she studies the play of magic around the slab. "I think I might be able to activate it, but the question is, do we want to?"
01[19:36] <Seira> "And the problem is, the trap built-in may well just send us elsewhere," Seira adds, focusing on the runes once more.
[19:36] <Kotono> "It's likely defended," Antenora swims just above it, whispering over message. "But is that going to stop us?"
01[19:37] <Seira> roll 1d20+28
05[19:37] -sebben.dejatoons.net:@#dunes- Kotono invited Hatbot into the channel.
03[19:37] * Hatbot (~Hatbot@24.174.51.230) has joined #dunes
[19:37] <Kotono> OOC: Seira, activating the runes?
03[19:37] * Alicia sets mode: +v Hatbot
01[19:37] <Seira> OOC: Maybe I misunderstood? I thought it may give me the activation key.
[19:38] <Kotono> OOC: Another spellcraft check could let you activate it.
01[19:38] <Seira> OOC: Ah, I see. Then not yet.
[19:39] <Alicia> "Can you disable the trap?" Alicia asks, looking around the bottom of the chasm to see if there's anything else here.
[19:39] <Kotono> OOC: Spot, Alicia.
[19:39] <Alicia> roll 1d20+2
06[19:39] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+2 and gets 13." [1d20=11]
[19:39] <Kotono> The bottom of the chasm is mostly unworked, natural seabed beyond the slab. Alicia doesn't see anything of immediate interest.
01[19:41] <Seira> "It's not impossible, but may be pretty difficult," Seira returns. "That aside, do we think the wraiths came through the runes, and then retreated there?"
[19:42] <Alicia> "It's possible, but it's equally likely they're hiding in the bedrock. Being incorporeal doesn't exactly limit the places you can go," Alicia surmises.
03[19:44] * merc-zzz is now known as Merc
[19:45] <Kotono> The cold current rustles as water flows about you. Amaryl shivers, "We need to try. I don't want this to keep happening, Seira. It can't keep happening, it was like a nightmare. Please."
01[19:46] <Seira> "One way or the other, we'll end up teleported somewhere, then," Seira muses, getting to work.
06[19:47] * Alicia has no objection to chancing it, since she rather regrets letting the chance in Malmuth slip by given all that's happened since then.
01[19:47] <Seira> roll 1d20+26 let's try UMD
06[19:47] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+26 let's try UMD and gets 31." [1d20=5]
[19:49] <Kotono> The slab glows white! The air blazes around the party, twisting! There is a sensation of being pulled downward, grabbed by unseen hands and dragged! You pass through bedrock and searock, plummeting down! (More)

06[19:49] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 2d6 damage to all, DR applies and gets 2." [2d6=1, 1]
[19:52] <Kotono> WHAM! There is a sharp impact of hitting the ground. Your vision flashes red as you take in your surroundings. You are in a vast cave, grottos all about. There is no light, only pure darkness. This room is shaped like a circle, dozens and dozens and dozens of large holes dotted about. From them they begin to emerge - snakes, with the head of a woman on each. Each head looks dreadfully ugly, tongue lolling out as they advance at all angles! OOC

[19:56] <Kotono> OOC: Latha starts.
[19:57] <Alicia> OOC: how close are the nagas?
[19:57] <Kotono> From about the snake women twist near and far, above and at level and below at once, coming from so many holes! One of them licks it's lips, calling out in words, "Kill them, rip them apart for the glory of Snake Goddess!"
[19:57] <Kotono> OOC: Closest one is 15 ft away. They're spread out in ever direction.
[19:57] <Kotono> OOC: Imagine you're in the center of a perforated circle.
[19:58] <Kotono> OOC: Well, center-bottom on the ground, anyway.
[19:59] <Alicia> Since they're surrounded on all sides and the creatures are reasonably close, Latha calls upon her connection to Celestia that was so diminished in proximity to that slab, uttering a single word of sublime clarity that was never meant for the debased ears of such creatures!
[19:59] <Alicia> OOC: DC 22 will for holy word, not counting the houseruled mod on it. I think it's -2 or 4 to saves?

[20:07] <Kotono> OOC: Antenora's up then.
[20:08] <Alicia> Antenora targets the one that first spoke and urged its fellows on, surging forward and aiming her spear just so to drive it down the naga's throat!

[20:10] <Kotono> Antenora pounces forward, clearing the naga away in one deep plunge of her spear! It gurgles and dies, head impaled! The fourth one hisses in the air, intoning words of arcane power! An orb of roiling force appears, shooting at Latha! "Kill the one with the sacred word!"

[20:13] <Kotono> This naga's head is cut clean off, sputtering down to the ground as she becomes a geyser of foul blood! As the fifth naga twitches on the floor, two others turn, "No!" One yells, "Kill the wizard instead!" With that, two orbs come at Seira, one acid and one force! OOC: Any immediates, Seira?
[20:14] <Kotono> OOC: Touch AC while you're at it.

[20:20] <Kotono> roll 1d20+1 2-1
06[20:21] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+1 2-1 and gets 12." [1d20=11]

[20:22] <Kotono> OOC: Latha.
[20:24] <Alicia> Latha promptly gestures at the largest cluster of newly arriving nagas and calls down Lathander's wrath upon them in the form of a pillar of fire that flares brightly enough to momentarily put Hell Striker to shame!
[20:24] <Alicia> roll 15d6 DC 20 reflex half
06[20:24] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 15d6 DC 20 reflex half and gets 52." [15d6=4, 6, 2, 1, 1, 3, 4, 6, 5, 3, 6, 2, 3, 5, 1]

[20:25] <Kotono> One naga bursts into flames, melting down to ash and bone! Two others(2-5 and 2-2) are burnt terribly, but move fast enough to avoid the worst of the pillar of hateful fire! OOC: Seira.
06[20:27] * Seira decides to burn the new arrivals with fire as well, gesturing at the survivors of Latha's attack and another naga who clearly didn't know what it was getting into.
01[20:27] <Seira> roll 3#1d20+19 empowered scorching ray, one each
06[20:27] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 3#1d20+19 empowered scorching ray, one each and gets 90." [3#1d20+19 = 28, 29, 33]
[20:27] <Kotono> OOC: All hit.
01[20:27] <Seira> roll 3#4d6+5d8

[20:28] <Kotono> The burnt naga are pierced and burst into flames, dying and shedding dim light as they immolate! Another is seared badly, staggering with a hole in it's tail! OOC: Antenora.
[20:29] <Alicia> Antenora pauses a moment to take stock of the new arrivals before she surges forward at an uninjured one to share the pain, her black unicorn horn-tipped spear doing much as Seira's unicorn hordes have been doing!
[20:29] <Alicia> roll 1d20+20 -9pa charging
06[20:29] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+20 -9pa charging and gets 35." [1d20=15]

[20:30] <Kotono> Racing ahead, Antenora spears another naga through the neck, ripping it's head off and sending it to oblivion! The floors are littered with slain naga now, ripped apart in mere seconds, rills of blood everywhere! OOC: Alicia and Naga 2-3.
[20:31] <Kotono> One of the naga survives yet! It intones words of power, this time aiming for Antenora! "Kill them! For the glory of the Snake Goddess!"
[20:31] <Kotono> roll 1d20+9 force at Antenora
06[20:31] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+9 force at Antenora and gets 11." [1d20=2]
[20:31] <Kotono> But the orb misses, Antenora whirling to the side as the wall nearby erupts in a shower of force weakened stones, bouncing off Antenora's armor! OOC: Alicia.
[20:32] <Alicia> "The only ones dying here are you! Surrender or you'll all die!" Alicia exhorts, making an example of the one that just attacked Antenora by flying over and embedding Hell Striker into its forehead!
[20:32] <Alicia> roll 1d20+18 -10pa
06[20:32] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+18 -10pa and gets 24." [1d20=6]

[20:33] <Kotono> Alicia severs this naga as well! As the fifth one lies on the ground, the second one calls on a fireball that erupts around Alicia! "Never! Glory for Her name!" OOC: Ref.
[20:34] <Kotono> roll 9d6
06[20:34] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 9d6 and gets 24." [9d6=6, 3, 2, 1, 1, 5, 2, 1, 3]
[20:34] <Alicia> roll 1d20+19
06[20:34] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+19 and gets 20." [1d20=1]
[20:34] <Kotono> OOC: Amusingly full damage.
[20:34] <Kotono> Alicia dodges, but right into the center of the fireball! It leaves her burnt and scorched all over, little injuries all over her body, but none serious! OOC: Amaryl and naga 2-1 areup.
01[20:35] <Seira> Emboldened by how well they're doing, Amaryl moves swiftly, this time picking two near targets for her arrows!
01[20:35] <Seira> roll 2#1d20+16
06[20:35] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 2#1d20+16 and gets 47." [2#1d20+16 = 20, 27]

[20:37] <Kotono> Amaryls' arrows finish one off, wihle another is greviously arrowed! As it bleeds everywhere, it spitefully sends an orb of acid right at Amaryl's face!
[20:37] <Kotono> roll 1d20+9
06[20:37] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+9 and gets 16." [1d20=7]
[20:37] <Kotono> OOC: Touch AC?
01[20:37] <Seira> OOC: Over that, especially with skirmish
[20:37] <Kotono> But Amaryl simply dances out of the way, moving like a whirlwind in combat as arrows fly! OOC: Lagann.
01[20:39] <Seira> Lagann is more than happy to slice up the naga foolish enough to remain near a blade he wields!
01[20:39] <Seira> roll 1d20+22
06[20:39] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+22 and gets 35." [1d20=13]

[20:39] <Kotono> OOC: Two hits.
01[20:39] <Seira> roll 6d8+8
06[20:39] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 6d8+8 and gets 32." [6d8=1, 7, 2, 6, 5, 3]

[20:40] <Kotono> The last naga ist orn apart, as no reinforcements seem to be coming, only paralysed naga left! OOC: Free act for the moment then.
[20:40] <Kotono> Antenora looks about, "That seems to be it for the moment - they're not much smarter than humans and they sound like fanatics."
[20:41] <Alicia> Latha obligingly goes to heal Alicia, who asks Antenora, "Can you talk to the paralysed ones telepathically? They might be more amenable in their current state - see if you can find out where we are to start with."
[20:41] <Alicia> roll 2d8+10
06[20:41] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 2d8+10 and gets 24." [2d8=6, 8]
[20:42] <Kotono> Antenora hops on over as Latha heals Alicia's wounds. She kneels next to it, frowning. "It's screaming at me that we'll bow before the Snake Goddess." Reaching forward to tap the Naga's forehead, "Any idea who that is? It doesn't fit the MO of the Dark Six to have servants who are ranting about a Goddess."
[20:43] <Kotono> Amaryl checks herself over and sighs, holding her chest. "That was close. That's the same spell tha tsends balls of acid around that you use, Seira?"
[20:44] <Alicia> roll 1d20+16 religion, who's the goddess of snakes in our pantheon?
06[20:44] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+16 religion, who's the goddess of snakes in our pantheon? and gets 36." [1d20=20]
01[20:45] <Seira> "Pretty much, although I'm better at it," Seira responds. "I'll show you if more show up, okay?"
06[20:45] * Seira thinks for a moment. "You know, if I did end up triggering the trap, it may well be possible we were sent somewhere nasty that isn't actually related to our current enemies."
[20:47] <Alicia> "It's possible they're referring simply to an elder naga rather than an actual deity - the only deity of snakes I know is a god, not a goddess," Alicia remarks. "Can you see any way out of here that's big enough for us to fit?" she then asks the ever so helpful Antenora, since her own darkvision is so less extensive.
[20:47] <Kotono> Antenora flies about, "No, just passages that go around bends and go this way and that," After so flying around, "I don't sense any minds nearby, either."
[20:48] <Kotono> "Basically pass us off onto someone else and let them deal with us?" Latha's voice lights the darkness, "A miserable trick, but one that makes tactical sense."
01[20:48] <Seira> "That's what I would do. If I were a villain."
06[20:49] * Seira doesn't feel terrible about killing the naga who wanted to kill her in the name of their goddess before she could even get a word in, however.
[20:49] <Alicia> "Shall I teleport us back to the slab and we can try again?" Alicia asks in that case.
[20:49] <Kotono> "The Dark Six do seem to have enough intelligence to use these sort of plans, too," Antenora cocks her head back to Seira, "It was self defense, but still."
01[20:49] <Seira> "What about the paralyzed ones? They're nasty and insane, so are we just going to leave them like this?"
[20:52] <Alicia> "Killing them serves little purpose at this point. We can hope they'll learn something from this, but even if not, I don't think they're much of a threat to anyone," Alicia shrugs.
06[20:54] * Seira shrugs as well. Even if there is some sort of elder naga that would try to seek vengeance for how they defended themselves from her minions, they'll just deal with that. "A teleport and another attempt, then?"
[20:55] <Alicia> Gathering everyone together, Alicia visualises the forlorn slab at the bottom of the sea and teleports them back to it! Hopefully.
[20:56] <Alicia> roll 1d100 seen once
06[20:56] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d100 seen once and gets 96." [1d100=96]
[20:56] <Alicia> OOC: similar area
[20:56] <Kotono> Alicia invokes her magic ot teleport...but nothing happens at all! The spell fizzles!
[20:57] <Kotono> "...Celestia's light..." Latha murmurs under her breath, "Did the spell fail?"
[20:57] <Alicia> "It seems so..." Alicia frowns, checking for any dimensional anchoring type magic in the air around them.
[20:58] <Kotono> OOC: Make a caster level check, Alicia?
[20:58] <Alicia> roll 1d20+18
06[20:58] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+18 and gets 38." [1d20=20]
01[20:58] <Seira> "We can always dig our way out," Seira says unhappily. "Going to try again?"
[20:58] <Alicia> roll 1d20+26 spellcraft
06[20:58] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+26 spellcraft and gets 27." [1d20=1]
[21:01] <Alicia> "There's abjuration magic suffusing the rock all around us," Alicia remarks unhappily. "I'm not sure but I'd guess it's probably some sort of dimensional anchor effect." She glances at Antenora, "I don't suppose the Naga know anything about it?"
[21:02] <Kotono> "I'll try." Antenora kneels next to her again...
[21:02] <Kotono> roll 1d20+15
06[21:02] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+15 and gets 29." [1d20=14]
[21:04] <Kotono> "It's ranting how we can't escape the domain of the Snake Goddess, that her wrath is inescapable." Antenora stands back up, stretching hre back out as she does. "That the magic of the Snake Goddess is inviolate."
01[21:04] <Seira> "Alicia, how about violating the magic of the snake goddess so that we could leave?" Seira queries.
[21:06] <Alicia> "It's not really that strong - Antenora or Latha could probably manage it, which would save my own spells for if we end up somewhere worse when we use the tablet again," Alicia suggests, glancing at the other two angels hopefully. Admittedly it's not *weak* magic, but her perceptions have been skewed of late.
[21:07] <Kotono> Antenora nods and steps forward, "Allowme," she says, as Latha repeats the trick!
[21:07] <Kotono> roll 1d20+10
[21:07] <Kotono> roll 1d20+10
06[21:07] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+10 and gets 23." [1d20=13]
06[21:07] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+10 and gets 27." [1d20=17]
[21:07] <Kotono> But the magic withstands! They try again!
[21:07] <Kotono> roll 1d20+10
[21:07] <Kotono> roll 1d20+10
06[21:07] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+10 and gets 28." [1d20=18]
06[21:07] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+10 and gets 28." [1d20=18]
[21:07] <Kotono> "Nothing," Antenora says, "The magic isn't giving so easily." Latha tries again, "By Celestia's wisdom, be shattered, magic!"
[21:07] <Kotono> roll 1d20+10
06[21:07] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+10 and gets 18." [1d20=8]
[21:08] <Alicia> "Okay, I'll do it then," Alicia interjects as it seems futile on their end. "Mother of all Magic, let me end the spell of this false goddess that we might away from here," she intones, casting her own spell.
[21:08] <Alicia> roll 1d20+20
06[21:08] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+20 and gets 32." [1d20=12]
[21:09] <Kotono> Calling on Mystra's magic power, the aura in the stones buckles and weakens! It disperses, already starting to regenerate mere seconds later, reknitting itself as fast as it can! OOC: Go ahead and act.
[21:10] <Alicia> "Done, lets hurry," Alicia quickly repeats her teleport spell before the magic in the rocks can regenerate enough to stop them.
[21:10] <Alicia> roll 1d100 seen once
06[21:10] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d100 seen once and gets 99." [1d100=99]

[21:11] <Kotono> roll 1d10
06[21:11] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d10 and gets 4." [1d10=4]
[21:11] <Kotono> OOC: I'll do it, I gneerally deal with TP mishaps.

06[21:11] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+80 and gets 93." [1d20=13]
[21:11] <Kotono> OOC: 19 damage to all of you.
[21:13] <Kotono> It's as if the magic itself is wrong! You feel twisted and scrambled, mixed up! You appear in warmer waters, a great hunk of stone lying on the ocean bed. It is covered in strange red paint, uneroded by water's passage. It forms the pattern of a hawk over it's length, far different than the slab that got you in this mess.
[21:13] <Kotono> "Owww...!" Amaryl whimpers, "I feel like a dragon just tried to twist me end over end!"
01[21:14] <Seira> "Stupid snake goddess magic," Seira mutters, instantly moving to help Amaryl.
01[21:14] <Seira> roll 3d8+15
06[21:14] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 3d8+15 and gets 31." [3d8=6, 6, 4]
[21:14] <Kotono> "This also isn't where we were," Antenora goes to examine the slab, "Interesting, but it's not what we came for. Was the magic interfered with, Alicia?"
[21:15] <Alicia> "The anchoring magic regrew quickly, I think we're lucky we got out at all," Alicia remarks, wincing and holding her stomach as she gets the feeling her insides are in the wrong place. "It didn't help that my mental image of the slab wasn't very good... Latha, can you heal us a bit while I refocus to try again?"
[21:15] <Alicia> roll 1d8+5 CLW Seira
06[21:15] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d8+5 CLW Seira and gets 13." [1d8=8]

06[21:15] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d8+5 CLW Latha and gets 7." [1d8=2]
[21:16] <Kotono> Latha goes about, healing wounds. "At least we weren't shunted into a pool of acid or intot he middle of a wall. I know a story of a wizard whom that happened to." With a sad smile, "He became an instant fossil."
[21:17] <Kotono> "Thank you," Amaryl smiles to Seira, her smile banishing the darkness for a moment, "That's terrible!"
[21:18] <Alicia> roll 1d20+16 arcana
06[21:18] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+16 arcana and gets 28." [1d20=12]

[21:18] <Alicia> "That's not supposed to happen except in extreme circumstances, at least," Alicia remarks. "Hmmm..." she pauses, eyeing the slab a moment.
01[21:19] <Seira> "And there are precautions to take against that, although I can see how many wouldn't normally bother," Seira adds her own thoughts, before focusing on the hawk pattern as well.
[21:19] <Kotono> OOC: K:A if you like, Seira.
01[21:19] <Seira> roll 1d20+26 sure
06[21:19] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+26 sure and gets 44." [1d20=18]
[21:19] <Alicia> "It looks like a ritual component," Alicia indicates the slab. "The magic lingering on it is merely preservative in nature, so its of no more interest than that, I think."
01[21:22] <Seira> "Here's to making certain our own achievements don't end up amounting to this?"
[21:23] <Kotono> "Let's go then, and make our acheivements sung in the Heavens, by defeating the Neverborn and his servants?" Antenora looks ahead, "Time's wasting."
[21:23] <Alicia> "I'm sure whomever made this left other things behind as well, but its of little import to us. I'll try teleporting again," Alicia offers, gathering everyone around and repeating her spell.
[21:23] <Alicia> roll 1d100 seen once
06[21:23] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d100 seen once and gets 8." [1d100=8]
[21:24] <Kotono> Woosh! This time yo8u appear at the stone slab. You feel isolated, as if the light of the Gods above is gone. Chills race through your body once more!
06[21:25] * Alicia shivers a little in the far colder water, looking around warily in case the wraiths come back while Seira tries to disable the trap again.
[21:27] <Kotono> OOC: Spot again, Alicia.
06[21:27] * Seira this time decides to search the premises before activating the device.
[21:27] <Alicia> roll 1d20+2
06[21:27] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+2 and gets 17." [1d20=15]
01[21:27] <Seira> roll 1d20+30 anything of interest?
06[21:27] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+30 anything of interest? and gets 45." [1d20=15]
[21:28] <Kotono> Alicia doesn't see anything of interest, nor does Seira's search turn up anything of interest.
01[21:28] <Seira> roll 1d20+29 let's try dd now
06[21:28] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+29 let's try dd now and gets 30." [1d20=1]
[21:29] <Kotono> AGain, you feel pulled down! You rac ethrough the earth, as if hands drag you down to Hell itself! You plummet down, a hard impact with wet cave floor once more!
[21:29] <Kotono> roll 2d6 ow
06[21:29] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 2d6 ow and gets 6." [2d6=5, 1]
[21:29] <Kotono> You stand and lie where you started before - the naga lie about, still slain and still very dead.
[21:30] <Kotono> "Urgh," Antenora gets up onto one knee, as Latha rises. The latter is the one that speaks, "We must find a way to help Seira with this, then. If one cannot solve the problem, then we all must strive to do so, together."
01[21:30] <Seira> "At least it's not a smarter trap," Seira says in resignation.
06[21:30] * Alicia checks to see if the anchoring spell has regenerated before she risks another teleport.
01[21:30] <Seira> "And I didn't say I couldn't solve it! Just give me a moment to think of a better way."
06[21:31] * Alicia takes a deep breath. "I'll have to dispel the anchor once more. Hold on a moment," she requests, doing just that.
[21:31] <Alicia> roll 1d20+20
06[21:31] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+20 and gets 28." [1d20=8]
[21:31] <Kotono> This time, the anchor does not give way! The mgaic in the rocks is inviolate!
06[21:32] * Alicia frowns, pausing a moment to work a crick out of her neck before she tries agin with a clearer head.
[21:32] <Alicia> roll 1d20+20
06[21:32] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+20 and gets 40." [1d20=20]
[21:32] <Kotono> This time the magic shatters apart, stunned momentarily as it tries to regroup itself! Alicia has her chance!
[21:32] <Alicia> "Brace yourselves," Alicia warns as she teleports out again.
[21:32] <Alicia> roll 1d100 seen once
06[21:32] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d100 seen once and gets 54." [1d100=54]
[21:33] <Kotono> Woosh! This time yo8u make it back to the stone slab without incident! Once again the cool waters lap at your bodies all over...
01[21:34] <Seira> "Here's the deal," Seira states unhappily. "I'm fairly certain I could get it to work in four-five tries. But we know what happens if that doesn't work. Are we risking it now?"
[21:34] <Kotono> "The price of not risking it is high," Latha says, "I would rather risk my life than risk the lives of those who would be attacked by the depredations of the Neverborn."
06[21:34] * Alicia eyes the play of magic around the slab. Is it all one spell or is the trap a seperate dweomer that might potentially be dispelled without disrupting the primary teleport function?
[21:35] <Alicia> "We'll just have to risk it. Do you want me to cast heroism on you to improve your focus, Seira?" Alicia offers.
01[21:36] <Seira> "Already got it covered," Seira responds, flashing Alicia a smile. "Here goes...."
01[21:36] <Seira> roll 1d20+29 dd
06[21:36] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+29 dd and gets 47." [1d20=18]
03[21:40] * Retrieving #dunes modes...
[21:41] <Kotono> This time, working as hard as she can, Seira is able to edge the trap off, the platform glowing! A moment later, you are pulled down! But this time you appear safely. You stand atop a statue, of a skeleton with it's hands spread outward. A stairway leads to the ground, twenty feet below. Everything here is bone white. The path ahead is bone white, inlaid with tiny skulls, each one fixed into a grimace of tormented agony. The eyes of each skull
[21:41] <Kotono>  each one fixed into a grimace of tormented agony. The eyes of each skull have a dim light within them. They seem to light up, a thousand voices assailing you! OOC: Will saves all.
[21:42] <Alicia> roll 1d20+25 +6vs evil Alicia
06[21:42] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+25 +6vs evil Alicia and gets 38." [1d20=13]
[21:42] <Alicia> roll 1d20+26 +4vs evil Anty
06[21:42] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+26 +4vs evil Anty and gets 40." [1d20=14]
[21:42] <Alicia> roll 1d20+14 +6vs evil Latha
06[21:42] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+14 +6vs evil Latha and gets 30." [1d20=16]
01[21:43] <Seira> roll 1d20+27
06[21:43] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+27 and gets 42." [1d20=15]
01[21:43] <Seira> roll 1d20+11 A
06[21:43] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+11 A and gets 20." [1d20=9]
[21:46] <Kotono> Images. From each voice images come in. Of being in a warm, happy place. Of being held in soft warms, looking up at a face with absolute love, absolute devotion. Then...terror and agony. One smiling, demented face staring down, whispering, "It wasn't fair you got to be born...oh no...I won't be lonely...join me..." Then a thousand echos of agony, hearts stopping in an intense, death cold...over and over this repeats in your minds, the skull's
[21:46] <Kotono> death cold...over and over this repeats in your minds, the skull's eyes winkling with light! OOC: Everyone but Amaryl is shaken, suffering double the normal penalties. Amaryl is stunned.
[21:46] <Kotono> Amaryl screams, falling down in a heap!
[21:47] <Kotono> "In the..." Antenora holds her head, "Shut them up...stop it! Stop it!"
[21:47] <Alicia> OOC: Anty has Remove Fear as an SLA. This is a good time
[21:47] <Alicia> OOC: So does Latha
06[21:47] * Seira stands over Amaryl, her sword drawn, eyes darting in every direction for something to fight!
[21:48] <Kotono> Latha weeps, all while reaching out to Seira first. The fear retreats, though the voices do not stop. Antenora touches Alicia there after, her own voices fading.
[21:48] <Kotono> OOC: STrike.
[21:49] <Kotono> Latha weeps, yet does not stop as she murmurs a single calming word of Celestial. The fear leaves your bodies, though the images and voices continue unabated. As this happens, you hear a heavy, thudding sound, clapping.
06[21:49] * Alicia shudders, gripping Hell Striker tightly in both hands as she looks down at the leering skulls. "Don't listen to it," she hisses, gritting her teeth, before looking around for the source of the clapping.
[21:51] <Kotono> "Six thousand, six hundred and sixty-six." The clapper approaches from far away, walking with easy steps. Melancton has his great warhammer in one hand. At his side are the dead - at least a dozen of the dire wraiths, screaming silently in time with the skulls. "A small army of babies. There's no room for you here, but we have another part of Silence for you, so fear not."
[21:53] <Alicia> "Your friends back in Arborea asked that we bring you in alive," Alicia tells the traitor titan, stepping forward to face him without fear. "That might make what I said to you last time a lie," she's forced to admit.
01[21:54] <Seira> "I'm sure they'll understand if we couldn't, though," Seira adds. "What can they possibly expect from someone who became what he fought?"
[21:55] <Kotono> "I'll make sure to throw their bones in with yours," Melancton and his horde are 90 feet away, on ground level. "Heh, that's right. There's nothing but agony waiting for every living being. I'm blessed to be able to bring it to so many of them...and you're next!" With a furious roar, the titan gestures his warhammer forward, the horde of undeath advancing! OOC: Init.

[22:03] <Kotono> Seira's skin resists, while her spirit is unbowed by the unlife touching her! She wards them back with her sword, flames licking out of her mouth! The next two go for Antenora, surrounding her with haste!

[22:05] <Kotono> Antenora endures as well, used to the terribly draining touches of the wraith! The fourth and second wraith hurtle straight for Latha!

06[19:14] * Alicia activates the magic in her boots, and for an instant all goes silent around her, the shades frozen for an instant in their torment, her allies standing bravely against their foes. She uses this time first of all to call upon the might of heaven's champions,
[19:14] <Alicia> her skin turning green, her wings gold, and her muscles developing such sculpted perfection as to rival the traitor titan's. Channelling a spell into Hell Striker, she follows this up by casting another spell while flying up and forward thirty feet, righteous orange flames surrounding her!
[19:14] <Alicia> As time returns to normal, she hurls her blade down at Melancton from her new vantage point, the wounds it inflicts 'blessing' him with the negative energy he professes to love.

[19:20] <Ko> Sunlight spills forth from the Sun Blade, Amaryl whirling it over her head! The lumenince of Lathander fills the air around her, the dread wraiths hissing back as the sun burns away at their unholy spirit!  OOC: Anything else?

01[19:21] <Seira> OOC: Not really, no

[19:36] <Ko> Lagann thrusts forward, passing through the plates of Melancton's armor and finding a hole! It stabs into his gut, burying in! Meanwhile...
03[19:36] * Ko changes topic to 'Wraith 1=Wraith 9(32)>Wraith 8(31)>Wraith 12(30)>Wraith 4(29)>Wraith 2(26)>Wraith 5=Wraith 10(23)>Wraith 11(22)>Wraith 7(21)>Wraith 3=Antenora=Latha(18)Wraith 6(16)>Seira(14)>Alicia(12)>Amaryl(9)>Melancton(6)>Lagann(0)>Giant Skeleton(-1)'
[19:36] <Ko> From the ground, wisps of black emit out, flowing into the skeleton who's hands Amaryl and the angels stand on! The skeleton's eyes above light up, it's body starting to move! OOC: Top of init now.

[19:40] <Alicia> OOC: How far above the ground is the skeleton's hand they're standing on?
[19:40] <Ko> OOC: 20ft.
[19:41] <Alicia> Seeing the skeleton starting to animate itself, Latha looks concerned! "Alicia, catch us if this works!" she requests, planting her palm on the bony palm at her feet and attempting to plane shift the skeleton all the way to the plane of positive energy!
[19:41] <Alicia> OOC: DC 22 will
[19:41] <Ko> OOC: No need.
[19:42] <Ko> Latha tries to shift the planes...but nothing happens! OOC: Antenora.
[19:42] <Alicia> Straightening up, Latha hefts her mace warily. "Try to dispel it, Antenora?" she asks hopefully, causing the former erinyes to nod, closing her eyes a moment to focus before glaring at the skull!
[19:43] <Alicia> roll 1d20+10 dispel
06[19:43] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+10 dispel and gets 23." [1d20=13]
[19:44] <Ko> But the skull does not bend to her magic, resisting the call to be broken! OOC: More wraith fleeing. Seira.
[19:44] <Alicia> Both angels fly ten feet away from the hand as their efforts come to naught!
06[19:46] * Seira steps back, drawing Elle's gift for her, and attempts to erode at the enormous skeleton!

[19:48] <Ko> OOC: Okay. Oh, so that's what it was. In the future, point bank tell me you're using that, Cor. Use the exact words and PM me so I can take a note. I just didn't register it was using it when you said that. Dur.
01[19:48] <Seira> OOC: Okay. I'll move after this.
[19:49] <Ko> The searing fireball catches the skeleton before it can move, blasting bone and leaving it's midsection terrifically charred! OOC: Continue
[19:49] <Ko> .
06[19:49] * Seira continues her withdrawal for thirty more feet, unwilling to let Melcanton remain in melee with her.
[19:51] <Ko> Thus Seira flips back and withdraws, avoiding a massive blow form Melancton as she does so! OOC: Alicia.
[19:53] <Alicia> "So how did the Abyss get to you, anyway, Melancton?" Alicia asks, hefting Hell Striker and channelling a different spell into this time, one that makes it crackle with electricity. "What was the chink in your armour? What was the weakness it exploited to turn you into something you hate?" she probes bitterly as she lets the sword fly once more, recalling her own hard earned knowledge of how that loathesome realm works.
[19:53] <Alicia> roll 1d20+40 -5pa divine might 4th level arcane strike

01[19:58] <Seira> Amaryl follows after Seira, moving just enough that she's barely cleared the skeleton, before lashing out at its outstretched hand.
01[19:59] <Seira> roll 1d20+16
06[19:59] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+16 and gets 23." [1d20=7]

01[20:07] <Seira> "He ran away!" Seira exclaims. "That cheating bastard!" Lagann shares her anger, but uses it to imbue Seira with greater heroism, the Resort drawing closer to her.
[20:07] <Alicia> "He's still there, he went ethereal! Like that cauchemar!" Alicia warns Seira.
[20:07] <Ko> The skeleton rises! It grabs th stairway in it's hands, taking it as a weapon! This sends Amaryl flying down! OOC: 1d6 falling, does she have featherfall or tumble or anything?

06[20:10] * Hatbot --> "Ko rolls 1d20+25 Amaryl ACs? and gets 27." [1d20=2]
03[20:10] * Mystia_Ghostfood is now known as Mystia
01[20:10] <Seira> OOC: 28 normal, 30 due to skirmish
[20:10] <Alicia> OOC: Anty's 39, Latha's 41
[20:11] <Ko> But the whirling, bony staircase misses all of them, the two angels flying around it and Amaryl already moving, tumbling backwards and pass a vicious smash! OOC: Wraiths are still retreating. Antenora and Latha.
[20:11] <Alicia> Hearing what Alicia said, Latha calls upon her innate ability to see invisible or ethereal creatures so she can target the cowardly titan!
[20:12] <Ko> Black faces and souls whirl around the skeleton, babies' faces distorted and crying! Latha invokes See Invisiblity, but does not see Melancton! OOC: Rest of Latha's turn/Antenora.
01[20:12] <Seira> "We have about a minute until the wraiths return, give or take," Seira says quietly via the Message spell. "Let's take care of the skeleton before that?"
[20:13] <Alicia> "I can't see him - are you sure?" Latha asks Alicia in confusion as she looks around, while Antenora focuses on the immediate problem and charges the skeleton, impaling her spear through its skull!
[20:13] <Alicia> roll 1d20+25 -4pa charging
06[20:13] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+25 -4pa charging and gets 30." [1d20=5]
01[20:14] <Seira> "I think he went underground," Seira comments. "Didn't see him return yet."
[20:14] <Ko> Antenora flies ahead at the skeleton, but whirling souls deflect her spear, as solid as any steel shield! OOC: Seira.
[20:14] <Alicia> OOC: divine succor on Amaryl, too
[20:14] <Ko> OOC: Okay.
06[20:15] * Seira draws her staff, taking to the air, as she calls for a supercharged fireball to assault the enormous skeleton!
01[20:15] <Seira> roll 10d6+10
06[20:15] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 10d6+10 and gets 46." [10d6=2, 3, 5, 3, 5, 2, 5, 4, 2, 5]
01[20:15] <Seira> roll 1.5*46
06[20:15] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1.5*46 and gets 69."
01[20:16] <Seira> OOC: dc 25
01[20:16] <Seira> OOC: Also, I'll fly up 20ft
[20:16] <Ko> roll 1d20+11
06[20:16] * Hatbot --> "Ko rolls 1d20+11 and gets 21." [1d20=10]
[20:18] <Ko> The skeleton is roasted by another fireball, legs charring as black as a balor's heart! OOC: Alicia.
[20:20] <Alicia> Recalling what Latha told Antenora to do, Alicia tries to see if her superior dispelling magic might hold any sway here. "Tortured marionette of unlife, be at peace and find rest!" she calls, trying to dispel it!
[20:20] <Alicia> roll 1d20+20
06[20:20] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+20 and gets 24." [1d20=4]
[20:20] <Ko> Alicia calls on Mystra's magic...but the skeleton does not listen to her words of power! OOC: Anything else?
[20:20] <Alicia> OOC: I'm done
[20:20] <Ko> OOC: Lagann.
01[20:20] <Seira> OOC: Amaryl, surely?
[20:21] <Ko> OOC: Oh wow, dur. Amaryl.
01[20:22] <Seira> Amaryl retreats thirty more feet, dropping the Sun Blade as she draws the bow she's far more comfortable with, letting loose with a single arrow that births another!
01[20:22] <Seira> roll 1d20+20
06[20:22] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+20 and gets 27." [1d20=7]
01[20:22] <Seira> roll 1d20+20
06[20:22] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+20 and gets 26." [1d20=6]
[20:23] <Ko> But neither arrow can pierce, both bouncing off the bony behemoth and falling ot the ground, snapping in two! OOC: Lagann.
01[20:23] <Seira> Lagann manipulates the Resort until it is safely in Seira's sheath, before picking up this new and exciting blade!
[20:24] <Ko> OOC: Switching? Okay, Skeleton's up.
[20:25] <Ko> The skeleton's burns reform as it makes a few thundering steps forward! It strikes at both Latha and Antenora, mauling at them!
[20:25] <Ko> roll 1d20+25
06[20:25] * Hatbot --> "Ko rolls 1d20+25 and gets 35." [1d20=10]
[20:25] <Ko> roll 1d20+25 Antenora
06[20:25] * Hatbot --> "Ko rolls 1d20+25 Antenora and gets 33." [1d20=8]
[20:26] <Ko> But the luminesence around them stops the stairway, stopping the improptu club! OOC: More.

[20:32] <Ko> From ahead, where Melancton came, you can begin to see a pale white mist creeping ahead, slow and steady. OOC: Wraiths are still fleeing. Antenora/Latha.
[20:35] <Alicia> Latha drops a flame strike on the skeleton, while Antenora takes note of the mist. "Watch out, these might be reinforcements!" she warns, conjuring up a wall of whirling force-blades to block the path!
02[20:35] * Sierra_Comatose (~Melanchth@pool-71-178-109-78.washdc.east.verizon.net) Quit (Ping timeout)

06[20:35] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+17 DC 21 casting defensively for Anty and gets 36." [1d20=19]
[20:36] <Alicia> roll 15d6 DC 20 reflex for Latha's flame strike
06[20:36] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 15d6 DC 20 reflex for Latha's flame strike and gets 45." [15d6=6, 2, 3, 2, 2, 3, 1, 1, 3, 6, 2, 3, 1, 6, 4]
[20:36] <Ko> roll 1d20+11
06[20:36] * Hatbot --> "Ko rolls 1d20+11 and gets 13." [1d20=2]
[20:37] <Ko> A blade barrier comes into life, as more fire burns the skeleton! More than half it's body is charred bone and ash, crumbling here and there! But yet it glows with wailing souls, unrelenting! OOC:  Seira.
06[20:38] * Seira encases herself in acid, flying back towards the skeleton until she is within its striking range.
02[20:38] * Mystia (~Melanchth@pool-71-191-16-93.washdc.east.verizon.net) Quit (Ping timeout)

[20:38] <Ko> OOC: Seira?
01[20:39] <Seira> OOC: Just getting within its extreme range, not passing it
[20:40] <Ko> OOC: Okay. Alicia.
03[20:40] * Mystia (~Melanchth@pool-96-231-68-153.washdc.east.verizon.net) has joined #dunes
06[20:41] * Alicia maintains her current position, gesturing at the skeleton as almost two dozen orbs of crackling electricity manifest around her and her images, before lancing across the cavern at it in a furious barrage!
[20:41] <Alicia> roll 1d20+16 knowledge
06[20:41] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+16 knowledge and gets 31." [1d20=15]

06[20:42] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+26 ranged touch and gets 45." [1d20=19]
[20:42] <Ko> OOC: All but the 1 hit.
[20:42] <Alicia> roll 18d6+4
06[20:42] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 18d6+4 and gets 76." [18d6=2, 5, 2, 4, 1, 5, 5, 3, 3, 6, 6, 3, 5, 5, 4, 6, 4, 3]
[20:43] <Ko> The skeleton rocks, it's left arm splintering apart and it's skulltop shattering! It looks like it's about to collapse as orbs of lightning strike it and blow parts of it to smithereens! OOC: Amaryl.
01[20:43] <Seira> Amaryl uses this as her chance to chip away at the massive skeleton. It's so huge some of the arrows in her barrage are bound to hit!
01[20:43] <Seira> roll 4#1d20+17
06[20:43] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 4#1d20+17 and gets 94." [4#1d20+17 = 19, 24, 22, 29]
01[20:43] <Seira> roll 2#1d20+12
06[20:43] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 2#1d20+12 and gets 45." [2#1d20+12 = 19, 26]
[20:44] <Ko> Amaryl fires arrows after arrow, but none manage to impact the skeleton! OOC: Lagann.
01[20:44] <Seira> Lagann picked up the Sun Blade just at the range of its ability, but it still means he can try and stab it!
01[20:45] <Seira> roll 1d20+22
06[20:45] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+22 and gets 29." [1d20=7]
[20:45] <Ko> The dim-golden blade thrusts forward, but bounces off what remains of the skeleton! It surges forward, making one overwhelming blow at Latha!
[20:45] <Ko> roll 1d20+30 AC?
06[20:45] * Hatbot --> "Ko rolls 1d20+30 AC? and gets 35." [1d20=5]
[20:46] <Alicia> OOC: 41
[20:46] <Ko> The massive stairway ripples through the air, tearing it apart, yet Latha is still too fast! She weaves out of the way, as the floor is vastly impacted! Meanwhile, the white mist comes closer, to within 15 feet of Alicia. OOC: Antenora and Latha re up.
[20:47] <Alicia> Antenora stabs out her spear repeatedly at the chipped and charred skeleton, trying to excabarate its weak points and make the whole thing fall apart!
[20:48] <Alicia> roll 1d20+27 divine succor for Amaryl
06[20:48] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+27 divine succor for Amaryl and gets 32." [1d20=5]
[20:48] <Alicia> roll 1d20+22
06[20:48] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+22 and gets 24." [1d20=2]

[20:48] <Alicia> roll 1d20+12
06[20:48] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+12 and gets 21." [1d20=9]
[20:49] <Alicia> Latha relies on her spells that have worked well enough so far, calling down Celestia's fiery wrath atop the skeletal behemoth!
[20:49] <Alicia> roll 15d6 DC 20 reflex half
06[20:49] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 15d6 DC 20 reflex half and gets 75." [15d6=5, 3, 6, 6, 5, 6, 5, 3, 4, 6, 6, 5, 6, 6, 3]
[20:49] <Ko> OOC: No hits for Antenora.
[20:49] <Ko> roll 1d20+11
06[20:49] * Hatbot --> "Ko rolls 1d20+11 and gets 19." [1d20=8]
[20:50] <Ko> AS Antenora tries in vain to land a blow, another flame strike rocks the skeleton! It's spine crumbles into dust, the entire thing collapsing under it's own weight, the stairway falling to the ground and breaking in two! OOC: Seira.
03[20:50] * Ko changes topic to 'Wraith 1=Wraith 9(32)>Wraith 8(31)>Wraith 12(30)>Wraith 4(29)>Wraith 2(26)>Wraith 5=Wraith 10(23)>Wraith 11(22)>Wraith 7(21)>Wraith 3=Antenora=Latha(18)Wraith 6(16)>Seira(14)>Alicia(12)>Amaryl(9)>Melancton(6)>Lagann(0)>Mist(-2)'
01[20:51] <Seira> Wary of the mist and figuring it can't be anything good, Seira summons a mist of her own overlaying it, this one made of acid.
[20:52] <Alicia> roll 1d20+18
06[20:52] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+18 and gets 22." [1d20=4]
[20:53] <Ko> The acid fog overlays the coming white fog, the two mingling together! OOC: Alicia.
01[20:55] <Seira> roll 1d20+28
06[20:55] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+28 and gets 42." [1d20=14]
06[20:55] * Alicia employs yet another greater dispel magic, this time trying to banish away the forboding necromantic mist!
[20:55] <Alicia> roll 1d20+20
06[20:55] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+20 and gets 24." [1d20=4]
[20:56] <Ko> But the mist does not relent, unmoved by Alicia's potent magery! OOC: Amaryl.
[20:56] <Alicia> And with that failure she flies back sixty feet! "We might have to leave at this rate..."
01[20:56] <Seira> roll 1d20+22
06[20:56] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+22 and gets 31." [1d20=9]
[20:56] <Ko> OOC: Into the fog or backwards towards the skeleton?
[20:56] <Alicia> "I think this chamber is warded like where we fought the Nagas - my plane shift didn't work earlier," Latha warns.
[20:56] <Alicia> OOC: back towards the skeleton. Away from fog.
01[20:57] <Seira> "The transportation runes can't be one way if the wraiths used them, right?"
01[20:57] <Seira> Amaryl, in the meantime, wards herself with Shield and regroups with Alicia.
[20:58] <Ko> OOC: Lagann.
[20:58] <Alicia> "Do you see any runes here?" Alicia asks, noting the lack of magical glyph covered slabs in the vicinity.
[20:58] <Ko> Behind the ruined skeleton, one can see it goes fourty feet to a dead end, a wall of sleek black metal.
01[20:59] <Seira> "From the way it's acting, it seems to be some demon fog from this Pale Night character," Seira reports, studying it with a frown. Holy Word or Dispel Evil might work, but only from within, and the fog saps peronality until death. Anyone want to try it anyway?"
01[20:59] <Seira> *personality
01[21:00] <Seira> Lagann enchants some of Amaryl's arrows, in case something they can actually fight appears.
[21:00] <Alicia> "I can try..." Alicia resolves bravely.
01[21:01] <Seira> "If I can still see you, I could try a short ranged teleport if things go badly," Seira tells her. "Whenever you're ready."
[21:01] <Ko> The fog continues to advance closer! As it does, all of you can hear strange, incoherent whispering from within the fog! The fog comes closer, to within 20 feet of the party! OOC: Latha and Antenora.
[21:02] <Alicia> Latha and Antenora both try to dispel it on the off chance they get lucky!
[21:02] <Alicia> roll 1d20+10 Latha
06[21:02] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+10 Latha and gets 11." [1d20=1]
[21:02] <Alicia> roll 1d20+10 Anty
06[21:02] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+10 Anty and gets 14." [1d20=4]
[21:03] <Ko> Neither of the devas can dispel the fog, the magic rolling off it like water off a duck's back! OOC: Seira.
01[21:03] <Seira> OOC: My fog is remaining behind, right? So if Alicia goes there, she's not going to be eaten by acid?
[21:03] <Ko> OOC: Yes.
06[21:04] * Seira waits for Alicia to try their plan, ready to attempt to pull her out if there's a need.
[21:04] <Ko> OOC: Alicia.
06[21:05] * Alicia takes a deep breath, focusing as a shimmering field of white holy energy surrounds her, sparkling brightly amidst the orange flames also coruscating over her form, before she plunges into the mist, discharging the holy power when she's ten feet inside just as Seira suggested!
[21:05] <Ko> OOC: Make a will save first?
[21:06] <Alicia> roll 1d20+28
06[21:06] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+28 and gets 34." [1d20=6]
[21:06] <Ko> roll 1d6 cha drain and make a caster level check.
06[21:06] * Hatbot --> "Ko rolls 1d6 cha drain and make a caster level check. and gets 5." [1d6=5]
[21:07] <Alicia> roll 1d20+18 (+2 if this counts as SR vs an evil outsider)
06[21:07] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+18 (+2 if this counts as SR vs an evil outsider) and gets 36." [1d20=18]
[21:07] <Ko> The whispers are all around Alicia. She can hear them, incoherent and unknowable. Each one whispers a story that cannot be told, should not ever have been. Yet amid it, as Alicia's mind recoils, her pure soul emits the power within her! The fog blinks once and fades away, the voices ceasing! OOC: Free act for the moment.
01[21:08] <Seira> "Are you alright?" Seira asks worriedly, as the fog is dispelled.
[21:09] <Ko> Antenora alights down, "We survived, but Melancton got away." She looks about, "I don't sense his mind, either."
06[21:09] * Alicia grimaces, looking somewhat out of sorts for a moment. "I've been better," she admits honestly as Antenora dispels her blade barrier. "Question is, do we press on or retreat?"
[21:10] <Ko> "Can we retreat? My attempt to banish the skeleton failed," Latha flicks her mace clean, "We may have no choice but to venture deeper in."
01[21:10] <Seira> "Our survival is still somewhat in doubt, since the wraiths return in half a minute," Seira can't help but voice. "Let's advance and see if we can find out more or erode their numbers in the time we have?"
[21:10] <Ko> "Pale Night, too," Looking sidelong at Seira, "The mistress of Androlynne. Are you sure about that?"
01[21:11] <Seira> "It worked as I said it would, didn't it?"
[21:12] <Alicia> "I could try and dispel the anchoring field again, but I could make few attempts," Alicia admits wearily as she takes stock. "That mist sapped at my spirit terribly."
01[21:13] <Seira> "I could take care of the teleportation, at least," Seira offers. "But let's press on for a bit, until we have to think of that."
06[21:13] * Alicia nods, glancing back at the stairway for a moment... is it still babbling?
[21:16] <Ko> The stairway and floor are now silent. Ahead you can see Seira's acid fog, which is blocking further view.
06[21:17] * Seira flies above the fog to glance past it.
06[21:17] * Alicia wonders if slaying the skeleton while those souls were animating it has brought them peace... she hopes so. She walks forward then stops at Seira's fog, not wanting to burn herself if she doesn't have to. "Seira, if you don't mind?" she gestures to it, wanting to proceed while her defensive spells are still up. She most certainly won't be casting them again, now.
[21:19] <Ko> Past the fog is an ornate door. It's of a praying man, split open and slain. His spilt stomach is where the door is placed.
01[21:19] <Seira> With no recourse, Seira dismisses the fog so that they could all proceed.
[21:19] <Ko> The way ahead is clear, the door waiting if one wishes to open it.
[21:20] <Alicia> Any magic on the door?
06[21:20] * Seira checks it for traps!
01[21:20] <Seira> roll 1d20+32 search
06[21:20] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+32 search and gets 39." [1d20=7]
01[21:21] <Seira> "Seems okay. Let's go?"
06[21:22] * Seira waits for Alicia to give her the sign that it's clear before opening the door.
06[21:22] * Alicia pushes open the door!
[21:25] <Ko> The door opens. Ahead is a vast circular room, wide around in all directions. Five other doors are littered at exact equal distances from this one, forming circle-points. The walls are made of black metal, lightless. Above each door is a balor's head, grinning and burping acid, fumes leaking from their mouths. Standing in the center of the room is Melancton, clapping. "You survived a single room. Were your deaths not pre-destined, I would be impre
[21:25] <Ko>  "You survived a single room. Were your deaths not pre-destined, I would be impressed." His wounds are gone, body whole. "Come then, let us finish our battle!" OOC: Roll init, he's not doing much besides throwing down and trying to kill you. Again.
01[21:25] <Seira> roll 1d20+6
06[21:25] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+6 and gets 22." [1d20=16]
01[21:25] <Seira> roll 1d20+8 A
06[21:25] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+8 A and gets 21." [1d20=13]

[21:27] <Ko> OOC: Oh right, dur.
[21:27] <Ko> OOC: Anyway, Latha.
[21:28] <Alicia> Flame Strike's worked well so far, so Latha does it again, calling down a pillar of divine fire atop Melancton's head!
[21:28] <Ko> OOC: Caster level check.
[21:28] <Alicia> OOC: wait, no she doesn't
[21:28] <Ko> OOC: Okay then.
[21:30] <Alicia> Latha attempts to dispel any protective spells Melancton might have on him!
[21:30] <Alicia> OOC: targetted dispel, how many?
[21:30] <Ko> OOC: Two.
[21:30] <Alicia> roll 1d20+10
06[21:30] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+10 and gets 26." [1d20=16]

06[21:36] * Alicia was going to tell Melancton where to stick his being impressed, but Seira really said it all. So she settles for drawing the sword of the sealed gate and hurling it at him to ensure he won't be retreating from this battle!

06[21:36] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+36 smite divine might and gets 42." [1d20=6]

[21:54] <Ko> OOC: You two are up, go.
01[21:54] <Seira> Amaryl calls upon the power within her ring, bestowing Haste upon everyone! Once she is done, she retreats so that the statues, at least, would not be able to target her.
01[21:56] <Seira> OOC: 20ft away from the entrance
06[21:56] * Alicia endures the acid as best she can, dropping the sword of the sealed gate and flying over and around Melancton to flank him with Seira, Hell Striker slashing across his head as she descends!

[22:14] <Alicia> Latha idly wipes the acid out of her eyes, unbothered entirely by its presence. Seeing the titan is close to falling but knowing the ruin he can inflict if he remains in the fight much longer, she flies forward to clatter her mace on the side of his head!

06[22:17] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 9d8+45 not alive, I guess and gets 91." [9d8=4, 5, 5, 5, 8, 3, 5, 4, 7]
[22:18] <Ko> As a gush of water appears, washing away acid from bodies and soothing the dreadful burns, Melancton's chest is pierced! He wobbles back, pawing at his chest as blood comes racing down, "Imposs..." he grunts, "I am a Ti...I cannot be..." With that he falls over, rattling the ground. His body fades away, leaving behind his armor, weapon and a pair of rings.
[22:18] <Ko> OOOC: Amaryl and Alicia are up.
01[22:19] <Seira> "Yeah, whatever," Seira mutters, continuing to retreat out of the room.
03[22:19] * Ko changes topic to 'Latha(24)>Seira(22)>Amaryl=Alicia(21)>Melancton(19)>Antenora(12)>????(4)>Lagann(0)'
03[22:19] * Ko changes topic to 'Latha(24)>Seira(22)>Amaryl=Alicia(21)>Antenora(12)>????(4)>Lagann(0)'
01[22:20] <Seira> Amaryl uses the wand of healing to restore a bit of Seira's health, in case something horrible appears and tries to eat them.
01[22:20] <Seira> roll 1d8+1
06[22:20] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d8+1 and gets 2." [1d8=1]
[22:20] <Ko> Seira's wounds are slightly soothed! OOC: Antenora.
01[22:20] <Seira> OOC: Actually, on herself, not on me. Not sure how sheath works.
[22:20] <Ko> OOC: Okay.
[22:20] <Ko> OOC: Anyway, Antenora's up.
[22:21] <Alicia> "Tch..." Antenora looks at the lack of remains from where the titan fell, before turning and fleeing along with Seira away from the acid spewing statues.
[22:21] <Alicia> Alicia does the same, leaving Latha alone with them!
[22:22] <Ko> Thus the two flee! Acid shoots at Latha! It covers her in dripping foulness, but fails to wound her atall! OOC: Lagann.
01[22:22] <Seira> Lagann carefully retrieves first Amaryl's sacred blade, and then the titan's belongings, one by one.
[22:24] <Ko> OOC: Okay, Latha.
[22:24] <Alicia> Latha grabs Alicia's fallen sword as she sedately follows the rest of the group out, entirely unbothered by the acid.
[22:25] <Ko> OOC: Free act for the moment.
[22:26] <Ko> Antenora leans against a wall, "Safe for now." She exhales, spear still in hand. "How're the rest of you?"
01[22:26] <Seira> roll 2d8+10
06[22:26] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 2d8+10 and gets 19." [2d8=2, 7]
[22:26] <Alicia> As most of Alicia's protections wear off and she sags tiredly, she offers her portable hole to Antenora. "Put all the titan
01[22:26] <Seira> "In pretty horrible pain, but I'll live."
[22:27] <Alicia> 's belongings in there?" she asks, accepting her sword back from Latha and sheathing it before she heals Seira.
[22:27] <Ko> Antenora goes over, her healing hands soothing Seira's wounds, before she packs the things into Alicia's hole. OOC: +16 HP.
[22:27] <Alicia> roll 18d4+18
06[22:27] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 18d4+18 and gets 66." [18d4=2, 4, 2, 3, 4, 2, 3, 3, 3, 4, 1, 3, 2, 1, 4, 1, 4, 2]
[22:27] <Ko> OOC: Strike, since yous till have acid up.
[22:27] <Alicia> OOC: oh yeah, say I healed Latha instead
06[22:29] * Seira resolves to casting an extended spell of Bear's Endurance upon herself.
[22:29] <Ko> Rubbing her remaining wounds, "We need to keep moving. I have no doubt more forces are coming towards us as we idle."
[22:29] <Alicia> Latha returns the favour with a pair of dispel evils on Alicia which she absorbs before converting into healing energy for herself.
[22:29] <Alicia> roll 18d4+18
06[22:29] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 18d4+18 and gets 71." [18d4=1, 4, 3, 2, 4, 3, 3, 2, 1, 1, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 3, 2, 4]
[22:30] <Alicia> "Then we can find out if Melancton was the greatest of their champions or the least," Alicia muses, moving to heal Amaryl.
[22:30] <Alicia> roll 3d8+15
06[22:30] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 3d8+15 and gets 22." [3d8=1, 3, 3]
[22:31] <Alicia> OOC: 12hp lay on hands, too
01[22:31] <Seira> roll 3d8+3 Amaryl'll use the wand of CLW, too
06[22:31] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 3d8+3 Amaryl'll use the wand of CLW, too and gets 18." [3d8=5, 6, 4]
[22:32] <Alicia> Latha fills Alicia up with several more dispel evils which are converted to spellfire. "Alright, that room's small enough that I can destroy all those statues in one blast of spellfire. It'll take out the walls, floor, doors, and ceiling as well, so we'll see what lies ahead in all directions... and possibly flood the place. Everyone ready?"
01[22:33] <Seira> "As ready as we can be. At least we'll still be able to breathe?"
[22:35] <Alicia> "As will all the undead, which is the only reason I didn't try blowing the roof at the outset," Alicia notes with a grim smile. Making sure everyone's well back from the door, she takes a deep breath and she flies quickly into the cenre of the room where Melancton died, drawing on her inner welspring of power and unleashing it in a ruinous spherical blast!
[22:35] <Alicia> roll 18d8 DC 24 reflex half, 70ft radius
06[22:35] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 18d8 DC 24 reflex half, 70ft radius and gets 76." [18d8=8, 8, 5, 2, 2, 5, 4, 6, 3, 3, 1, 1, 8, 4, 2, 3, 3, 8]
[22:36] <Ko> Alicia soars in! Spellfire gushes out, the room's walls devastated! The heads are gone, as well as the doors! Alicia can see each other hallway goes down about sixty feet. At the end of each is a stone arch, glimmering and shimmering with haze and magic. Each one has art of skeletons, wraiths and other undead surrounding them.
06[22:37] * Alicia flaps her wings, staying in place at the centre of the emptied out sphere. "Way's clear," she calls back.
06[22:37] * Seira instantly follows!
[22:37] <Ko> Latha emerges out, peering down each hall. "Looks the same," she observes, "Archways at the end of each."
01[22:38] <Seira> "Let's start from the rightmost and work our way clockwise?" Seira proposes.
[22:38] <Alicia> Any magic that Alicia can see down any of them?
[22:40] <Alicia> roll 1d20+26 spellcraft
06[22:40] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+26 spellcraft and gets 46." [1d20=20]
[22:43] <Alicia> "They're all portalways... given how each dweomer is identical, I'd wager they all go to the same place, so it shouldn't matter which path we take," Alicia surmises.
01[22:44] <Seira> "Nothing to do but try one, then."
[22:46] <Ko> Antenora looks ahead, "Rightmost one like Seira said then?"
06[22:46] * Seira checks the door for traps!
01[22:46] <Seira> roll 1d20+32
06[22:46] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+32 and gets 45." [1d20=13]
[22:46] <Alicia> Latha finally gets around to casting heroism on herself as the group follows Seira.
[22:46] <Ko> The door is rather obliterated. If there were traps on thedoor, spellfire undid them forever.
06[22:46] * Seira proceeds!
[22:47] <Ko> Thus you reach the portalway! It shimmers with haze, nothing seen on the other side, indistinct.
06[22:48] * Seira steps through the portal.
[22:49] <Ko> Seira vanishes away as she steps through the portal!
06[22:49] * Alicia follows after Seira. A bit late in the day to be hesitant about chancing strange portals.
[22:52] <Ko> Thus the party steps through the portal! A moment later, all of you stand in a twenty foot wide square room. Three walls are black iron, covered with glowing ice blue symbols and runes. Twenty feet ahead, the way ahead is stopped by a faint, shimmering barrier. There is a complication...your gear is gone. All of you save Amaryl stand unclad and without a scrap of possessions, save Alicia's ring of eternal celerity.
[22:52] <Ko>  save Alicia's ring of eternal celerity.
[22:53] <Ko> "..." Antenora looks about, "...trapped. Of course. Trapped like lemures."
01[22:55] <Seira> 'It's a trapped portal,' Seira thinks to Amaryl. 'Everything's gone, down to clothes. But it's still a better place to be, rather than the stupid ruins with the wraiths, all alone. Coming?'
[22:55] <Ko> 'I...if that's what you want.' Amaryl answers.
[22:56] <Ko> A moment later, Amaryl appears. She looks about, a faint blush creeping to her cheeks. "So...um....S-Seira, what do we do now?"
01[22:57] <Seira> "Well, I have a few ideas, but how about we destroy that barrier ahead and get our things back?"
[22:57] <Alicia> "We'll get everything back," Alicia wraps her wings around herself for some semblance of modesty given Seira and Amaryl's presence. "This isn't the best situation but it still gets us closer to our foes." She spends a moment studying the weave of magic within the room.
[22:58] <Alicia> roll 1d20+26 spellcraft
06[22:58] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+26 spellcraft and gets 28." [1d20=2]
[22:58] <Ko> "G-good idea," Amaryl murmurs, glancing about before looking down at her toes.
01[22:59] <Seira> "It could be worse," Seira muses, not particularly bothered.
[22:59] <Alicia> "It's just a wall of force - spellfire should be able to disintegrate it," Alicia gestures at the wall and a beam of pure white spellfire blasts out to impact it!
[23:00] <Alicia> roll 8d8 DC 22 reflex for anything within the 280ft line
06[23:00] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 8d8 DC 22 reflex for anything within the 280ft line and gets 40." [8d8=6, 7, 4, 7, 3, 3, 2, 8]
[23:03] <Ko> Alicia's spellfire arches ahead, carving a hole through the Wall of Force! As you do, you hear a harsh clapping sound. Walking ahead out of the darkness, it wears black robes. It has blasphemies sewn into them, searing your eyes with words that must not be. Atop it's fleshless skull is a circlet of white, it's face fixed into a disapproving scowl. It's bony hands clap together, "So, you maggots continue to squirm? Impressive, much how a dying anim
[23:03] <Ko> It's bony hands clap together, "So, you maggots continue to squirm? Impressive, much how a dying animal resists the inexorable death disease inflicts on it's carcass."
01[23:04] <Seira> OOC: Empowered Flame Whips, Cloudkill, Chain Missile, Fearsome Grapple, Targetting Ray are gone
[23:04] <Ko> OOC: Okay.
[23:05] <Alicia> "Not impressive how a dead thing refuses to lay still in the ground like it should," Alicia returns, balling her fists. If this thing thinks it has them where it wants them, it's in for a terribly rude awakening.
[23:06] <Ko> "Be silent, worthless whore!" With a sudden snarl, "You talk to one infinitely above your station! Know your place in eternity and do not speak against your betters! I am here to pass your judgment into oblivion...unless you beg like the rubbish you are. Beg and plead, scream to be allowed to live in my graces."
[23:06] <Alicia> OOC: I'm attacking. Init?
[23:06] <Ko> OOC: If you like, sure.
[23:07] <Alicia> roll 1d20+5 Alicia
06[23:07] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+5 Alicia and gets 9." [1d20=4]
[23:07] <Alicia> roll 1d20+8 Latha
01[23:07] <Seira> roll 1d20+6
06[23:07] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+8 Latha and gets 15." [1d20=7]
[23:07] <Alicia> roll 1d20+5 Anty
06[23:07] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+6 and gets 22." [1d20=16]
06[23:07] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+5 Anty and gets 23." [1d20=18]
01[23:07] <Seira> roll 1d20+6 A
06[23:07] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+6 A and gets 13." [1d20=7]
[23:07] <Ko> roll 1d20+9
06[23:07] * Hatbot --> "Ko rolls 1d20+9 and gets 12." [1d20=3]
03[23:08] * Ko changes topic to 'Antenora(23)>Seira(22)>Latha(15)>Amaryl(13)>Lich?(12)>Alicia(9)'
02[23:08] * Mystia_Ghostfood (~Melanchth@pool-96-231-68-153.washdc.east.verizon.net) Quit (Ping timeout)
[23:08] <Ko> OOC: Latha's up.
[23:08] <Ko> OOC: Er, Antenora.
[23:09] <Alicia> OOC: Latha and Antenora presumably haven't gotten entirely pissed off beyond the banter stage like Alicia has, so neither are going to immediately attack until it's obvious communication has broken down
[23:09] <Ko> OOC: Okay. Seira.
06[23:11] * Seira falls on her last resort. Reading the mood, she can tell things won't resolve by them begging for their lives, and she begins to quietly recite the words to her final contingency spell.
01[23:12] <Seira> OOC: Flame Whips, full round spell
[23:12] <Ko> OOC: Okay. Amaryl then. Is she doing anything?
01[23:12] <Seira> It would be foolish to just stand there and stare, so Amaryl wards herself with Shield.
[23:13] <Alicia> Seeing that Seira is starting to cast, Latha and Antenora both share a moment of silent understanding, focusing their attention on the lich intending to disrupt anything he tries to cast...
[23:13] <Ko> The lich watches with an unreadable expression. "Worms like you only know force against your betters. Try." OOC: Alicia.
[23:16] <Alicia> "Don't." Alicia snarls furiously, a muttered word causing her nude form to once more be empowered by the might of heaven's greatest warriors, pale skin tinting green and muscles standing out starkly on her flesh as she walks brazenly through the whole she carved in the wall of force, confronting the lich. "Don't you dare try to even put up the pretense of civility! Not after what you've done!"
[23:18] <Ko> "I have lead mewling sheep to the butcher's blade." He looks on at Alicia, "I have turned them into something of at least marginal use and thus being worthwhile. If you will not make your lives useful to us, then your corpses and souls shall be!" OOC: Antenora's up, still holding?
[23:19] <Alicia> OOC: she figures interrupting a spell is the most useful thing she can do, so readied action stands. Same for Latha
[23:19] <Ko> OOC: Seira, you're spell finishes. Go.
01[23:21] <Seira> As her arms transform into fiery whips, and something deep within her shifts, Seira silently follows Alicia, taking to the air and flanking the blasphemous thing with her. Once in position, she lashes out, hoping to connect!
01[23:21] <Seira> roll 1d20+23 touch
06[23:21] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+23 touch and gets 38." [1d20=15]
[23:21] <Ko> OOC: Hit.
01[23:22] <Seira> roll 6d6+4d8 fire+sa
06[23:22] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 6d6+4d8 fire+sa and gets 33." [6d6=6, 1, 5, 4, 4, 1][4d8=2, 7, 2, 1]
[23:23] <Ko> The flaming whip rips through the lich...as if it wasn't there, the lich winking out and then back into visibility. With a chuckle that sounds like Hell shifting itself, "Your might is wasted. Now, I shall see how you will die. I wait ahead...surprise me and make it to my throne, so that you may have the undeserved honor," His voice begins to raise, sharp and dry, "Of dying at my hand!" OOC: Alicia.
[23:24] <Alicia> roll 1d20+26 spellcraft, what magic is he using here? And what other magic is around the vicinity?
06[23:24] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+26 spellcraft, what magic is he using here? And what other magic is around the vicinity? and gets 43." [1d20=17]
06[23:28] * Alicia silently curses herself for not paying more attention to the flows of magic. Such inattention will probably get her killed. "Come on, he's just wasting our time," she gestures for the others to follow, ignoring the illusion now and starting down the path it came via.
06[23:28] * Seira follows at Alicia's side, not showing a sign of her settling depression.
[23:28] <Ko> The image thus vanishes a moment later. Antenora beginst o follow, "It's about power. It's always about power, but it's especially like that for him. He did all that just to gloat."
06[23:30] * Alicia sets a brisk pace onwards, desperately hoping for an excuse to punch something before her spell wears off. "Arrogant piece of shit. I can't wait to grind his loathesome bones into dust."
[23:30] <Ko> Advancing ahead, the party comes to a door. It's black metal, carved right out of the wall. A pull ring allows it to be pulled open if one wishes.
[23:30] <Alicia> Is it magic?
[23:31] <Ko> "There's not a drop of light in his soul. In this case, I'll bring light into his heart...and his ribs, his skull cavity, his legbones..." Latha says with a serene, calm smile. "A good, burning light will do him much good."
01[23:32] <Seira> "You're so creepy when you act like that."
06[23:32] * Alicia doesn't hesitate in grabbing the ring and roughly yanking the door open. "It's a creepy I can get behind."
[23:32] <Ko> "I have complete faith that Celestia's light will guide me to victory," Latha says without a hint of worry. "In the darkest is where Celestia shall glow the brightest. Come."
01[23:33] <Seira> "I have complete faith in our chances lying in being too stubborn to die as we should," Seira returns with a shrug.
[23:33] <Ko> You enter to a long hall of black metal. It goes in either direction from you, doors dotted here and there. It stretches farther than you can see from either direction.
[23:33] <Alicia> Any magic?
[23:34] <Ko> "I have faith in Alicia, Seira, Amaryl and Latha." Antenora says quietly, "And in the fact that Marie and Jessica will drag our souls out even if we die."
[23:34] <Ko> Antenora cocks her head, "Problem," she says, "60 feet that way, about ten down. Two minds, wraiths I think."
01[23:35] <Seira> "I was with you until that last bit," Seira mutters. "Wraiths to kill, though? Oh yes!"
06[23:35] * Seira immediately heads in the direction indicated by Antenora.
[23:35] <Alicia> "Which direction?" Alicia asks. Without magic weapons they can hardly do much against wraiths. But Seira seems eager... Oh well, she still has magic missile?
[23:35] <Ko> Amaryl jerks her gaze away from Seira and Latha's rears, blinking. "Wraiths? Where?"
[23:35] <Alicia> OOC: strike me asking direction, since she said that way
[23:35] <Ko> Antenora points to the right. "Latha and I can use holy power, what about the rest of you?"
01[23:36] <Seira> "Fire!"
[23:36] <Alicia> "Magic missile," Alicia smiles weakly.
[23:36] <Ko> At those words...OOC: roll init here?
01[23:36] <Seira> roll 1d20+6
[23:36] <Alicia> roll 1d20+5 Alicia
06[23:36] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+6 and gets 20." [1d20=14]
06[23:36] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+5 Alicia and gets 8." [1d20=3]
01[23:36] <Seira> roll 1d20+6 A
06[23:36] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+6 A and gets 14." [1d20=8]
[23:36] <Alicia> roll 1d20+8 Latha
06[23:36] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+8 Latha and gets 17." [1d20=9]
[23:36] <Alicia> roll 1d20+5 Anty
06[23:36] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+5 Anty and gets 13." [1d20=8]
[23:36] <Ko> roll 1d20+13 Wraith 1
06[23:36] * Hatbot --> "Ko rolls 1d20+13 Wraith 1 and gets 30." [1d20=17]
[23:36] <Ko> roll 1d20+13 Wraith 2
06[23:36] * Hatbot --> "Ko rolls 1d20+13 Wraith 2 and gets 14." [1d20=1]
03[23:37] * Ko changes topic to 'Wraith 1(30)>Seira(20)>Latha(17)>Amaryl=Wraith 2(14)>Antenora(13)>Alicia(8)'
[23:37] <Ko> A moment later, one of the wraiths erupts out from the metal ground! It's keening voice is heard about, as it darts for Antenora!
[23:37] <Ko> roll 1d20+16 touch
06[23:37] * Hatbot --> "Ko rolls 1d20+16 touch and gets 36." [1d20=20]
[23:37] <Ko> roll 1d20+16 touch this is just insult on injury
06[23:37] * Hatbot --> "Ko rolls 1d20+16 touch this is just insult on injury and gets 23." [1d20=7]
[23:38] <Ko> roll 4d6 and fort
06[23:38] * Hatbot --> "Ko rolls 4d6 and fort and gets 13." [4d6=1, 5, 3, 4]
[23:38] <Alicia> roll 1d20+30
06[23:38] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+30 and gets 50." [1d20=20]
[23:39] <Ko> The touch is terrible, but Antenora refuses to be bowed by it, enduring it without a single cry! OOC: Seira.
06[23:41] * Seira swiftly steps in place as the first wraith appears, having already lead the way as it is, before lashing out at the filthy undead!
01[23:41] <Seira> roll 3#1d20+27
06[23:41] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 3#1d20+27 and gets 98." [3#1d20+27 = 34, 32, 32]
01[23:41] <Seira> roll 3#1d100
06[23:41] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 3#1d100 and gets 72." [3#1d100 = 34, 29, 9]
[23:42] <Ko> Seira's whips lash out, but the phantasm is completely unmoved and unmenaced by them! OOC: Latha.
[23:42] <Alicia> Latha hesitates a moment, since Antenora said there were two. She'll unleash Celestia's wrath when the second appears!
[23:42] <Ko> OOC: Okay. Amaryl and wraith 2 are up.
01[23:44] <Seira> Amaryl tries to defend herself as best she can, stepping back.
01[23:44] <Seira> OOC: Total defense
[23:44] <Ko> The second wraith bursts out, charging right at Alicia! OOC: Latha?
01[23:44] <Seira> OOC: Can I AoO it?
03[23:44] * Ko changes topic to 'Wraith 1(30)>Seira(20)>Latha=Amaryl=Wraith 2(14)>Antenora(13)>Alicia(8)'
[23:44] <Alicia> An instant later a nova of white holy power erupts amidst them!
[23:44] <Ko> OOC: Yes, you have range.
01[23:44] <Seira> roll 1d20+25
06[23:44] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+25 and gets 33." [1d20=8]

06[23:45] * Hatbot --> "Ko rolls 2d6 and fort and gets 9." [2d6=3, 6]
[23:45] <Alicia> roll 1d20+21
06[23:45] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+21 and gets 29." [1d20=8]
[23:45] <Alicia> OOC: oh, images
[23:46] <Ko> roll 1d5
06[23:46] * Hatbot --> "Ko rolls 1d5 and gets 3." [1d5=3]
[23:46] <Ko> Another image has it's heart ripped out, gone! OOC: Antenora and then Alicia.
[23:46] <Alicia> Antenora copies Latha's example, hopefully with more success!
[23:46] <Alicia> roll 5d8 DC 19 will half/avoid blindness
06[23:46] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 5d8 DC 19 will half/avoid blindness and gets 18." [5d8=3, 2, 7, 5, 1]
[23:46] <Alicia> roll 1d100

[23:47] <Ko> roll 1d20+14
06[23:47] * Hatbot --> "Ko rolls 1d20+14 and gets 33." [1d20=19]
06[23:47] * Hatbot --> "Ko rolls 1d20+14 and gets 23." [1d20=9]
[23:47] <Ko> The holy smite slams into both wraiths this time, making them slightly flicker as holy power tries to put them back to rest! OOC: Alicia.
06[23:47] * Alicia steps back from the wraith attacking her, pointing her palm at it as a flurry of magic missiles blast out making her feel oh so nostalgic!
[23:47] <Alicia> roll 5d4+5
06[23:47] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 5d4+5 and gets 22." [5d4=3, 3, 3, 4, 4]
[23:49] <Ko> The magic missiles strike true, each one slamming the wraith hard enough to make it's body shake all over! The first wraith keeps on Antenora, touching her to steal her life away!
[23:49] <Ko> roll 1d20+16
06[23:49] * Hatbot --> "Ko rolls 1d20+16 and gets 22." [1d20=6]
[23:49] <Ko> roll 2d6 and fort

[23:49] <Alicia> roll 1d20+28
06[23:49] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+28 and gets 34." [1d20=6]
[23:49] <Ko> Antenora endures this as well, barely phased by it at all! OOC: Seira.
01[23:49] <Seira> Enraged beyond belief at how her attacks are being dodged so casually, Seira lays into the insulting wraith with all her fury!
01[23:49] <Seira> roll 1d20+27
06[23:49] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+27 and gets 32." [1d20=5]
01[23:49] <Seira> roll 1d100
06[23:49] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d100 and gets 33." [1d100=33]
01[23:50] <Seira> roll 1d20+27
06[23:50] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+27 and gets 35." [1d20=8]
01[23:50] <Seira> roll 1d100
06[23:50] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d100 and gets 51." [1d100=51]
01[23:50] <Seira> roll 6d6+4d8 at last!
06[23:50] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 6d6+4d8 at last! and gets 40." [6d6=1, 5, 6, 4, 6, 2][4d8=6, 2, 7, 1]
01[23:50] <Seira> roll 1d20+27
06[23:50] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+27 and gets 47." [1d20=20]
01[23:50] <Seira> roll 1d100
06[23:50] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d100 and gets 87." [1d100=87]
01[23:50] <Seira> roll 6d6+4d8 just die
06[23:50] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 6d6+4d8 just die and gets 25." [6d6=6, 2, 1, 1, 2, 2][4d8=6, 1, 1, 3]
[23:50] <Ko> OOC: The first or second wraith?
01[23:50] <Seira> OOC: First
[23:51] <Ko> The first wraith is burnt alive, it's ghostly body withering as spectral flames lick it form Seira's arms! OOC: Latha/Amaryl/Wraith 2.
01[23:51] <Seira> Amaryl isn't really suited to this, and thus maintains her defense.
[23:51] <Ko> The second wraith turns, this time gliding ahead for Amaryl! OOC: This triggers an AoO from you, Seira.
[23:51] <Alicia> Latha unleashes another holy smite!
[23:51] <Alicia> roll 5d8 DC 19 will half/avoid blindness
06[23:51] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 5d8 DC 19 will half/avoid blindness and gets 19." [5d8=3, 3, 2, 5, 6]
[23:51] <Alicia> roll 1d100
06[23:51] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d100 and gets 82." [1d100=82]
[23:52] <Ko> roll 1d20+14
[23:52] <Ko> roll 1d20+14
06[23:52] * Hatbot --> "Ko rolls 1d20+14 and gets 22." [1d20=8]
06[23:52] * Hatbot --> "Ko rolls 1d20+14 and gets 25." [1d20=11]
01[23:52] <Seira> roll 1d20+25 where do you think you're going  >_<
06[23:52] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+25 where do you think you're going >_< and gets 30." [1d20=5]
01[23:52] <Seira> roll 1d100
06[23:52] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d100 and gets 65." [1d100=65]
01[23:52] <Seira> OOC: Am I in a flanking position with it as well?
[23:53] <Ko> OOC: Yeah, you all are a tightly packed bunch.
01[23:53] <Seira> roll 6d6+4d8
06[23:53] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 6d6+4d8 and gets 43." [6d6=4, 2, 4, 6, 5, 6][4d8=4, 2, 6, 4]
[23:53] <Ko> The wraith's body is tormented, this one burning with ghostfires as well, even as it goes for Amaryl!
[23:53] <Ko> roll 1d20+16
06[23:53] * Hatbot --> "Ko rolls 1d20+16 and gets 20." [1d20=4]
[23:53] <Ko> OOC: AC?
[23:53] <Ko> OOC: Touch, rather.
[23:54] <Ko> But Amaryl is waiting for it, diving to the side and rolling away from the wraith, her hair whirling by, reached for and missed! OOC: Antenora and Alicia.
01[23:54] <Seira> OOC: Touch ac is 10+5+4+4+1
01[23:54] <Seira> OOC: 24, nice
[23:55] <Alicia> Antenora goes for another holy smite!
[23:55] <Alicia> roll 5d8 DC 19
06[23:55] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 5d8 DC 19 and gets 30." [5d8=6, 4, 6, 7, 7]
[23:55] <Alicia> roll 1d100
06[23:55] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d100 and gets 44." [1d100=44]
[23:55] <Alicia> Alicia meanwhile puts all of her magic missiles into the most wounded wraith!
[23:55] <Alicia> roll 5d4+5
06[23:55] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 5d4+5 and gets 21." [5d4=4, 4, 4, 2, 2]
[23:56] <Alicia> OOC: wraith 1
[23:56] <Ko> The wraith flickers terribly, body starting to dissipate, but it clings yet to it's accursed life! OOC: It's up.
[23:56] <Ko> With desperation, it reaches out for Antenora!
[23:56] <Ko> roll 1d20+16
06[23:56] * Hatbot --> "Ko rolls 1d20+16 and gets 28." [1d20=12]
[23:57] <Ko> roll 2d6 and fort
06[23:57] * Hatbot --> "Ko rolls 2d6 and fort and gets 5." [2d6=4, 1]
[23:57] <Alicia> roll 1d20+28
06[23:57] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+28 and gets 39." [1d20=11]
[23:57] <Ko> But again Antenora endures the unholy touchings of her unprotected form! OOC:  Seira.
06[23:57] * Seira attempts to put the impudent wraith out of its misery! Much as she might wish to come to Amaryl's aid, eliminating the numbers of their enemies means more for their survival.
01[23:58] <Seira> roll 1d20+27
06[23:58] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+27 and gets 42." [1d20=15]
01[23:58] <Seira> roll 1d100
06[23:58] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d100 and gets 56." [1d100=56]
01[23:58] <Seira> roll 6d6+4d8
06[23:58] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 6d6+4d8 and gets 32." [6d6=2, 6, 1, 2, 1, 5][4d8=1, 1, 5, 8]
06[23:58] * Seira proceeds with her attack, intending to switch targets when her original one expires.
01[23:58] <Seira> roll 1d20+25
06[23:58] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+25 and gets 26." [1d20=1]
01[23:59] <Seira> roll 1d20+25
06[23:59] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+25 and gets 29." [1d20=4]
01[23:59] <Seira> roll 1d100
06[23:59] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d100 and gets 47." [1d100=47]
Session Time: Sun Oct 25 00:00:00 2009
03[00:01] * Ko changes topic to 'Seira(20)>Latha=Amaryl=Wraith 2(14)>Antenora(13)>Alicia(8)'
[00:01] <Ko> Whipped with pure fire, the first wraith fades away, leaving only the second! It reaches for Amaryl once more! OOC: All three are up, I'm just resolving it first. Ia ssume Amaryl's still dodging?
01[00:01] <Seira> Amaryl continues to dodge!
[00:01] <Ko> roll 1d20+16
06[00:01] * Hatbot --> "Ko rolls 1d20+16 and gets 22." [1d20=6]
01[00:01] <Seira> OOC: Still 24!
[00:01] <Alicia> Latha smites mightily!
[00:01] <Alicia> roll 5d8 DC 19
06[00:01] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 5d8 DC 19 and gets 22." [5d8=6, 3, 5, 7, 1]
[00:01] <Alicia> roll 1d100
06[00:01] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d100 and gets 73." [1d100=73]
[00:02] <Ko> As Amaryl whirls and evades, the phantasm blinks out of sight, vaporising into holy energies! OOC: Free act.
[00:02] <Ko> Antenora looks around, whipping her head about, her hair following. "I don't sense any more minds nearby," she says after a few moments.
[00:02] <Alicia> "Good, that's the last of them," Alicia nods in satisfaction, going to push/pull open the nearest door on this side of the hallway.
06[00:03] * Seira looks down at her transformed hands, then at Amaryl and gives her a hesitant smile.
[00:03] <Ko> The door opens. You see a room much like the one youc ame into, down to the wall of force shimmering.
[00:04] <Ko> Amaryl smiles back. She goes to Seira and hugs her, "We'll make it...to be honest...this is kind of exciting when I get caught up in it."
06[00:04] * Alicia dismisses it promptly and moves onto the next one.
01[00:04] <Seira> "Really? Exciting wouldn't be what I'd call it, but admittedly, that's only because I dragged you into this."
[00:04] <Ko> You walk down a little further, the same thing as the last. Latha pads along, following. "How many holding cells do they have?"
01[00:05] <Seira> "As many as the portals they had?"
[00:05] <Ko> Blushing now, "It's dangerous and heart racing and exciting and very pretty," Amaryl whispers back.
[00:05] <Alicia> "We'll keep looking till we find something," is all Alicia can say, swiftly moving on while she still has her most powerful magic backing her up.
[00:06] <Ko> "We'll find an end to them sooner or later," Antenora takes up the rear, keeping a watch out. The next door is the same, but ahead, you see an end to the hall. A large arch is ahead, filled in with black bricks. A single doorway is in the center, made of black metal.
01[00:06] <Seira> "For that kind of exciting, we can just invite everyone to a hotspring resort," Seira whispers back with a roll of her eyes, not falling behind as Alicia sets the pace.
[00:07] <Alicia> OOC: any magic?
[00:07] <Alicia> roll 1d20+26 spellcraft
06[00:07] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+26 spellcraft and gets 29." [1d20=3]
[00:09] <Alicia> "There's an evocation trap on the door," Alicia warns. "If Seira can't disable it without her tools then Latha might at least be able to resist it," she suggests.
06[00:09] * Seira waves a fiery whip in response. "If we wait for my trump card to expire to try this, I'll be very sad."
[00:09] <Alicia> "We can try dispelling it instead," Antenora volunteers as she and Latha try doing so.
[00:09] <Alicia> roll 1d20+10
06[00:09] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+10 and gets 30." [1d20=20]
[00:09] <Alicia> roll 1d20+10
06[00:10] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+10 and gets 24." [1d20=14]
[00:10] <Ko> Antenora casts dispel magic, waving her hand! The magic around the door fades away.
[00:10] <Alicia> "That did it," Alicia smiles, going to open the door.
[00:11] <Ko> Ahead of you lies a long hall. It's 20 feet wide, past that fenced off with wooden fences. Lying within the fences are...bodies. More bodies than you can see, simply lying there. The stench of fresh death is night overwhelming to you! OOC: Fort all.
01[00:12] <Seira> roll 1d20+18 A
06[00:12] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+18 A and gets 38." [1d20=20]
[00:12] <Alicia> roll 1d20+21 Alicia (+4 vs evil)
06[00:12] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+21 Alicia (+4 vs evil) and gets 38." [1d20=17]
[00:12] <Alicia> roll 1d20+24 Anty (+4 vs evil)
01[00:12] <Seira> roll 1d20+23
06[00:12] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+24 Anty (+4 vs evil) and gets 30." [1d20=6]
06[00:12] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+23 and gets 24." [1d20=1]
[00:12] <Alicia> roll 1d20+16 Latha (+4 vs evil)
06[00:12] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+16 Latha (+4 vs evil) and gets 22." [1d20=6]
[00:13] <Ko> The smell is simply too much. While Alicia, Amaryl and Antenora can withstand it, Latha and Seira give! Their stomachs protest, erupting out their mouths as they bend over, being terribly sick!
[00:13] <Ko> OOC: Latha and Seira are nauseated for 3 rounds.
[00:14] <Ko> Antenora brings a wing up over her face, coughing. "Ugh...that charnel stench...!"
[00:15] <Ko> Amaryl turns away, gagging. "Waukeen..." she whimpers.
01[00:15] <Seira> 'It's the same!' Seira thinks in terror, dropping to her knees and unable to control herself.
[00:16] <Alicia> Alicia's cheeks bulge momentarily, her emerald skin adopting a far more sickly greenish cast as she covers her mouth and nose. "Gods... didn't they use them up on their attacks?" She promptly pulls the door shut. "We're going the other way."
[00:16] <Ko> "We're going to come back," Antenora staggers away, "Mystra as my witness, I'll burn each of them with fire to purify them."
[00:17] <Ko> Amaryl goes to Seira's side, holding her shoulders and hair back, "What was," she murmurs into her ear. "Shh."
06[00:17] * Seira closes her eyes, trying to find her lost focus.
[00:17] <Alicia> "Not right now, though," Alicia says with a meaningful look at the distressed Seira and Latha.
[00:18] <Ko> The spasms pass for both women, Antenora going to help Latha up, while Amaryl does the same with Seira.
[00:19] <Alicia> Her transformation spell is a lost cause at this point, so Alicia doesn't mind spending a moment on a cantrip to clean up Seira and Latha, washing away the foul odours. "Shall we try the other direction?"
01[00:19] <Seira> "We have to destroy that place," Seira insists, struggling to her feet. "Before all else!"
06[00:21] * Alicia certainly doesn't mind. "Are you sure?" she checks, not wanting to force anyone to face such an endless charnel house.
01[00:22] <Seira> "We can't let them be used to attack their own homes, their own families!" Seira turns towards Latha. "You talked about overkill? This is where you should cut loose!"
[00:23] <Ko> Latha nods, "Your goal is pure...and I can think of no reason to dissent, save our own wellbeing. Let us go then and bring rest to those who yearn for it."
06[00:24] * Alicia nods, amping up the pine scent of her cantrip to hold off on the nausea as she opens the door once more, and conjures several fire elementals, instructing them in Ignan to start as many fires as they can.
[00:24] <Alicia> roll 1d4+1 small elementals
06[00:24] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d4+1 small elementals and gets 5." [1d4=4]
[00:24] <Ko> Latha follows, stepping in, as pillars of fire strike down and about!
06[00:26] * Seira intends to breathe holy fire to cleanse the place!
[00:28] <Ko> Thus fire takes to the endless fields of the dead! They stretch farther than you can see, but so do the flames! Yet as you do..."Incoming," Antenora announces sharply, standing a little back and behind, "It's not a wraith...Alicia, remember the golgotha! We've fought one of these before!"
[00:31] <Alicia> "Golgotha?" Alicia repeats, grabbing a fencepost and ripping it out of the ground before she casts greater magic weapon on it, turning her impromptu club into a lethal weapon. She doesn't recall that word, though...
[00:32] <Ko> Turning, Alicia can see it, about 150 feet away. A giant hound made of skulls and bones...A charnel hound, like the one you fought in the great field of skulls in the ruins.

[Corwin]

[20:03] <Kotono> > Thus fire takes to the endless fields of the dead! They stretch farther than you can see, but so do the flames! Yet as you do..."Incoming," Antenora announces sharply, standing a little back and behind, "It's not a wraith...Alicia, remember the golgotha! We've fought one of these before!"
[20:03] <Kotono> <Alicia> "Golgotha?" Alicia repeats, grabbing a fencepost and ripping it out of the ground before she casts greater magic weapon on it, turning her impromptu club into a lethal weapon. She doesn't recall that word, though...
[20:03] <Kotono> > Turning, Alicia can see it, about 150 feet away. A giant hound made of skulls and bones...A charnel hound, like the one you fought in the great field of skulls in the ruins.
[20:03] <Kotono> OOC: Roll init here, let's say. Seira/Latha are 30ft into the room, so the hound is 180ft away from them.
[20:04] <Alicia> roll 1d20+5 Alicia
06[20:04] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+5 Alicia and gets 16." [1d20=11]
[20:04] <Alicia> roll 1d20+8 Latha
06[20:04] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+8 Latha and gets 19." [1d20=11]
[20:04] <Alicia> roll 1d20+5 Anty
06[20:04] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+5 Anty and gets 24." [1d20=19]
01[20:04] <Seira> roll 1d20+6
06[20:04] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+6 and gets 18." [1d20=12]
01[20:04] <Seira> roll 1d20+6 A
06[20:04] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+6 A and gets 9." [1d20=3]
03[20:04] * Kotono changes topic to 'Antenora(24)>Latha(19)>Seira(18)>Alicia(16)>Amaryl(9)'
[20:04] <Kotono> roll 1d20+2
06[20:04] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+2 and gets 11." [1d20=9]
03[20:05] * Kotono changes topic to 'Antenora(24)>Latha(19)>Seira(18)>Alicia(16)>Charnel Hound(11)>Amaryl(9)'
[20:05] <Kotono> OOC: Antenora starts.
[20:05] <Alicia> OOC: how high is the ceiling?
[20:06] <Kotono> OOC: Say 25ft up.
[20:07] <Alicia> OOC: can the hound fit through the door into the corridor behind us?
[20:07] <Kotono> OOC: Maybe. It would be a tight fit.
[20:08] <Alicia> Antenora blasts the hound with a holy smite, before she falls back into the corridor!
[20:08] <Alicia> roll 5d8 DC 19 will
06[20:08] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 5d8 DC 19 will and gets 15." [5d8=1, 7, 2, 4, 1]
[20:08] <Kotono> roll 1d20+12
06[20:08] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+12 and gets 18." [1d20=6]
[20:09] <Kotono> OOC: SR check, by the way.
[20:09] <Alicia> roll 1d20+16
06[20:09] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+16 and gets 17." [1d20=1]
[20:10] <Kotono> The holy magic crumbles before the dreadful collection of bodies that advances towards you! OOC: LAtha.
[20:10] <Alicia> Latha follows Antenora's example, knowing that their best chance lies in blinding it before it can savage them!
[20:10] <Alicia> roll 1d20+16
06[20:10] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+16 and gets 36." [1d20=20]
[20:10] <Alicia> roll 5d8 DC 19 will
06[20:10] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 5d8 DC 19 will and gets 19." [5d8=4, 4, 2, 7, 2]
[20:10] <Kotono> roll 1d20+12
06[20:10] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+12 and gets 20." [1d20=8]
[20:11] <Alicia> Latha also retreats to the corridor.
[20:11] <Kotono> A blast of holy power vaporizes some of the body of the hound, a few bits of corpses returned to dust! OOC : Seira and then Alicia.
06[20:12] * Seira follows the pattern with a shrug, tossing a fireball at the mockery of a hound while taking flight.
01[20:12] <Seira> roll 1d20+18
06[20:12] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+18 and gets 31." [1d20=13]
01[20:12] <Seira> roll 10d6 dc17
06[20:12] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 10d6 dc17 and gets 32." [10d6=1, 6, 2, 5, 5, 1, 3, 1, 6, 2]
[20:12] <Kotono> roll 1d20+12
06[20:12] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+12 and gets 31." [1d20=19]
01[20:12] <Seira> OOC: 15ft up it is
[20:12] <Alicia> "Watch out, there's a wraith coming from above!" Antenora warns.
[20:13] <Kotono> The fireball catches the mid-body of the hound, but it charges ahead, the flames only getting a moderate chance to char the outer bodies of the hound! It's still coming! OOC: Alicia.
03[20:14] * Kotono changes topic to 'Antenora(24)>Latha(19)>Wraith=Seira(18)>Alicia(16)>Charnel Hound(11)>Amaryl(9)'
[20:15] <Alicia> Calling out in Ignan for her summoned elementals to place themselves in the path of the hound in hopes of slowing it down, Alicia hands off her impromptu club towards Amaryl before casting a spell, transforming her into a glowing orb of light!
[20:15] <Kotono> OOC: Alter self into a lantern archon?
[20:15] <Alicia> OOC: yep
[20:16] <Kotono> Thus Alicia becomes a floating spirit of law and purity, Amaryl now armed with a magical club, as magic weaves around Alicia! OOC: Hound.
[20:16] <Kotono> The Charnel Hound sprints ahead 80 feet, approaching rapidly despite fire and holy energies flaring around it's body! OOC: It's 70ft from the door and abount 100ft from everyone else past it. Amaryl.
01[20:17] <Seira> "Are we retreating into the corridor, or making our stand at the entrace?" Seira asks.
[20:18] <Alicia> "It probably can't fit in the corridor, and definitely not the side-rooms. We should do anything we can to avoid going toe to toe with it in this state," Alicia reasons, not sounding any different at least.
01[20:21] <Seira> Amaryl retreats out of the doorway at that.
[20:21] <Kotono> OOC: Antenora then.
[20:22] <Alicia> Antenora throws another smite at the onrushing hound!
[20:22] <Alicia> roll 1d20+16
06[20:22] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+16 and gets 31." [1d20=15]
[20:22] <Alicia> roll 5d8 DC 19
06[20:22] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 5d8 DC 19 and gets 20." [5d8=6, 1, 8, 2, 3]
[20:22] <Kotono> roll 1d20+12
06[20:22] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+12 and gets 22." [1d20=10]
[20:22] <Kotono> Another bit of the hound is pulverised, but it stuborrnly refuses to be down, slavering with hunger as it advances! OOC: LAtha.
01[20:22] <Seira> "Is it coming from straight above me?" Seira calls out to Antenora, referring to the wraith she had mentioned.
[20:23] <Alicia> "Looks like it," Antenora confirms as Latha follows her lead, wanting to burn the malign hound with cleansing flames but recognising that blinding it helps them more right now.
[20:23] <Alicia> roll 1d20+16
06[20:23] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+16 and gets 33." [1d20=17]
[20:23] <Alicia> roll 5d8 DC 19
06[20:23] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 5d8 DC 19 and gets 15." [5d8=3, 6, 4, 1, 1]
[20:23] <Kotono> roll 1d20+12
06[20:23] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+12 and gets 19." [1d20=7]
[20:24] <Kotono> OOC: Wraith and Seira. Go ahead and resolve first, Seira.
01[20:24] <Seira> Not questioning her ally in the least, Seira breathes golden flames at the ceiling, gliding down towards the entrance afterwards.
01[20:24] <Seira> roll 8d8 fire?
06[20:24] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 8d8 fire? and gets 50." [8d8=7, 5, 8, 7, 8, 3, 4, 8]
[20:24] <Kotono> As she breathes, a screaming wraith appears out, right into her flames! OOC: Resolve damage and then we'll resolve it's attack.
01[20:24] <Seira> roll 1d100
06[20:24] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d100 and gets 97." [1d100=97]
01[20:25] <Seira> OOC: DC is 18 now
[20:25] <Kotono> roll 1d20+14
06[20:25] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+14 and gets 30." [1d20=16]
01[20:25] <Seira> roll 1d4 as expected
06[20:25] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d4 as expected and gets 3." [1d4=3]
[20:25] <Kotono> roll 1d20+16 touch
06[20:25] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+16 touch and gets 25." [1d20=9]
[20:25] <Kotono> roll 2d6 and fort, Seira.
06[20:25] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 2d6 and fort, Seira. and gets 6." [2d6=2, 4]
01[20:26] <Seira> roll 1d20+23
06[20:26] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+23 and gets 40." [1d20=17]
[20:26] <Kotono> Burned by golden fire as it descends, body turning golden with heat, the wraith grazes SEira's arm, but she's already moving down and out of the worst of it! OOC: Alicia.
[20:28] <Alicia> Nothing she can hurt is in range right now, so Alicia settles for flying into the corridor to join Antenora and Latha.
[20:28] <Kotono> The Charnel Hound advances! IT reaches the doorway, trying to bull through!
[20:29] <Kotono> roll 1d20+9
06[20:29] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+9 and gets 18." [1d20=9]
[20:29] <Kotono> It struggles against the door, but can't get through, only it's head managing to get inside! OOC:Amaryl.
01[20:29] <Seira> OOC: How far from it is she?
[20:30] <Kotono> OOC: About thirty feet, she retreated into the corridor.
[20:30] <Kotono> OOC: It does have reach on her, bear in mind.
01[20:31] <Seira> For as long as the hound is kept at bay, Amaryl uses her chance to cast Shield and position herself before Latha.
[20:31] <Kotono> OOC: Okay. Antenora.
[20:33] <Alicia> Antenora backs off so she's now forty feet down the corridor and well away from the hound, blasting it with another smite!
[20:33] <Alicia> roll 1d20+16
06[20:33] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+16 and gets 26." [1d20=10]
[20:33] <Alicia> roll 5d8 DC 19
06[20:33] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 5d8 DC 19 and gets 17." [5d8=8, 1, 3, 1, 4]
[20:34] <Kotono> roll 1d20+12
06[20:34] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+12 and gets 20." [1d20=8]
[20:34] <Kotono> Again the head of the hound is smited, holy power ravaging it even worse this time! OOC: Latha.
[20:35] <Alicia> Latha tries her own smite, hoping one of them will work as advertised eventually as she follows Antenora to ensure she's well out of biting range!
[20:35] <Alicia> roll 5d8 DC 19
06[20:35] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 5d8 DC 19 and gets 19." [5d8=4, 6, 2, 6, 1]
[20:35] <Alicia> roll 1d20+16
06[20:35] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+16 and gets 23." [1d20=7]
[20:35] <Kotono> roll 1d20+12
06[20:35] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+12 and gets 31." [1d20=19]
[20:36] <Kotono> Again the hound is battered, but again it resists despite lines of white traveling over it's body, like cracks in it's corpse construction! OOC: Wraith'n'Seira.
[20:36] <Kotono> OOC: Go ahead and go first, Seira.
06[20:37] * Seira stays on the defensive for now, keeping in the air near Latha.
[20:37] <Kotono> The wraith changes targets, going for Amaryl before flowing into the ground after!
[20:37] <Kotono> roll 1d20+16
06[20:37] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+16  and gets 28." [1d20=12]
[20:37] <Kotono> OOC: Touch AC?
[20:38] <Kotono> roll 2d6 and fort assuming hit
06[20:38] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 2d6 and fort assuming hit and gets 7." [2d6=3, 4]
01[20:39] <Seira> OOC: Should be 24, counting shield, so yeah
01[20:39] <Seira> roll 1d20+16
06[20:39] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+16 and gets 27." [1d20=11]
[20:39] <Kotono> Amaryl's pristine form is raked by ghostly claws, welts of blood swelling across her shoulders! OOC: Alicia.
01[20:39] <Seira> OOC: I meant 28 counting shield. Such bad luck.
[20:40] <Kotono> OOC: No kidding. Wow.
[20:41] <Alicia> At the edge of her own range 30 feet from the dog, Alicia pings its nose with a pair of beams that bypass its defences!
[20:41] <Alicia> roll 1d20+16 knowledge
06[20:41] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+16 knowledge and gets 32." [1d20=16]
[20:41] <Alicia> roll 1d20+25 ranged touch
06[20:41] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+25 ranged touch and gets 26." [1d20=1]
[20:41] <Alicia> roll 1d20+25 ranged touch
06[20:41] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+25 ranged touch and gets 41." [1d20=16]
[20:41] <Alicia> roll 1d6+4
06[20:41] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d6+4 and gets 9." [1d6=5]
[20:42] <Kotono> Of the beams, one white beam goes into the chin of the beast, flaying away undead flesh and bringing it closer to oblivion! In retort, it tries to force through the doorway once more!
[20:42] <Kotono> roll 1d20+14 Sorry, misread it's STR score, it's 38 and not 28. Dur
06[20:42] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+14 Sorry, misread it's STR score, it's 38 and not 28. Dur and gets 34." [1d20=20]
[20:43] <Kotono> The doorway buckles! The hound gets about three quarters of the way through as the metal distends to it's powerful form! It's not quite through, but it's close! OOC: Amaryl.
01[20:44] <Seira> Amaryl prepares to attack the wraith when it appears!
[20:44] <Kotono> OOC: Okay. Antenora.
[20:44] <Alicia> Antenora puts all her will into this next holy smite!
[20:44] <Alicia> roll 1d20+16
[20:44] <Kotono> The smoke of the burning dead is starting to fill the air, a charnel stench of choking, air depriving intensity.
06[20:44] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+16 and gets 27." [1d20=11]
[20:44] <Alicia> roll 5d8 DC 19
06[20:44] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 5d8 DC 19 and gets 26." [5d8=1, 8, 4, 6, 7]
[20:44] <Kotono> roll 1d20+12
06[20:44] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+12 and gets 17." [1d20=5]
[20:45] <Kotono> This time the hound's eyes are glowing white, overwhelmed by the dazzling holy power that bursts rightin it's face! OOC: Latha.
07[20:45] * Ginrai is on IRC (Ginrai)
[20:45] <Alicia> With it now finally blinded, Latha has no qualms about using something with a little more oomph, calling down cleansing flame atop the vile mutt!
[20:45] <Alicia> roll 15d6 DC 20 reflex
06[20:45] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 15d6 DC 20 reflex and gets 53." [15d6=2, 5, 6, 5, 3, 1, 2, 2, 4, 2, 1, 6, 6, 3, 5]

[20:46] <Kotono> roll 1d20+9
06[20:46] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+9 and gets 14." [1d20=5]
[20:46] <Kotono> Righteous fire makes a hole in the back of the Hound, bodies burning away in a vicious, nearly cutting in two cylender of righteous justice! OOC: Wraith and Seira.
[20:47] <Kotono> OOC: go ahead and resolve first, Seira.
06[20:47] * Seira dives upon the blinded hound!
01[20:47] <Seira> roll 1d20+19
06[20:47] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+19 and gets 21." [1d20=2]
[20:47] <Kotono> OOC: Hit.
01[20:47] <Seira> roll 1d4+5
06[20:47] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d4+5 and gets 6." [1d4=1]
[20:48] <Kotono> Seira claws into the hound, struggling but ripping into the toughened deathflesh! Meanwhile, the wraith erupts back out, passing by Amaryl once more! OOC: Amaryl, taking your action?
03[20:48] * Kotono changes topic to 'Antenora(24)>Latha(19)>Wraith=Seira=Amaryl(18)>Alicia(16)>Charnel Hound(11)'
01[20:49] <Seira> Amaryl does her very best to club the wraith to final death!
01[20:49] <Seira> roll 1d20+14
06[20:49] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+14 and gets 17." [1d20=3]
01[20:50] <Seira> roll 1d20+9
06[20:50] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+9 and gets 15." [1d20=6]
[20:50] <Kotono> roll 1d20+16 wraith resolves now, terrible luck
06[20:50] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+16 wraith resolves now, terrible luck and gets 31." [1d20=15]
[20:50] <Kotono> roll 2d6 and fort geez.
06[20:50] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 2d6 and fort geez. and gets 4." [2d6=1, 3]
01[20:50] <Seira> roll 1d20+16
06[20:50] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+16 and gets 23." [1d20=7]
[20:50] <Kotono> roll 1d8 ow
06[20:50] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d8 ow and gets 8." [1d8=8]
[20:52] <Kotono> Amaryl's clubs miss, as the phantasm reaches in! Her heart is grasped, nearly ripped out as it flies by! Her entire body turns porcelin white, all life and color gone from it in the merest second! OOC:Geez. Alicia.
[20:53] <Alicia> "Antenora, Latha, try to smite the wraith when it comes back!" Alicia urges the two angels, continuing to beamspam the dog!
[20:53] <Alicia> roll 1d20+25 ranged touch
06[20:53] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+25 ranged touch and gets 38." [1d20=13]

06[20:53] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+25 ranged touch and gets 44." [1d20=19]
[20:54] <Alicia> roll 2d6+8
06[20:54] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 2d6+8 and gets 20." [2d6=6, 6]
[20:54] <Kotono> Alicia homes in, both rays hitting the dog rightin the crown of it's head! It's starting to show holes all over, burnt and smited! OOC: Hound.
[20:54] <Kotono> The hound blindly thrashes about, trying to pull through the door!
[20:54] <Kotono> roll 1d20+14
06[20:54] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+14 and gets 15." [1d20=1]
[20:55] <Kotono> But it merely holds it's position! OOC: Seira, this provokes an AoO since it's blind and trying to move in vain.
06[20:55] * Seira claws the damn thing across its blind eyes.
01[20:55] <Seira> roll 1d20+19
06[20:55] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+19 and gets 27." [1d20=8]

06[20:55] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 3d8 I've been forgetting my bonus damage vs undead and gets 5." [3d8=2, 2, 1]
[20:56] <Kotono> Seira claws the struggling beast, another wound into it as she finds it's flesh far too tough! OOC: Antenora.
[20:56] <Alicia> Recognising Alicia's wisdom, Antenora waits for the wraith to reappear - she'll hurt the dog with her smite when it does anyway, so it's no loss either way. Latha does the same.
[20:56] <Kotono> OOC: Wraith, Seira and Amaryl. Seira, go ahead and do yours first, then I'll do the wraith.
01[20:58] <Seira> Amaryl stays on the defensive, as that is her best chance, while Seira moves away from the mutt, breathing fire above Amaryl's head as she hopes to catch the wraith in time.
01[20:58] <Seira> roll 8d8
06[20:58] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 8d8 and gets 38." [8d8=2, 5, 3, 7, 4, 4, 7, 6]
01[20:58] <Seira> roll 1d100
06[20:58] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d100 and gets 13." [1d100=13]
[20:58] <Kotono> At this, the wraith comes hurling down, flame passing through it...OOC: Latha'n'Antenora, go.
03[20:58] * Kotono changes topic to 'Antenora=Latha=Wraith=Seira=Amaryl(18)>Alicia(16)>Charnel Hound(11)'
[20:59] <Alicia> The smites immediately erupt, battering dog and wraith alike while leaving heroes untouched!
[20:59] <Alicia> roll 1d20+16 Anty SR

06[21:00] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+14 wraith 2 and gets 23." [1d20=9]
[21:00] <Kotono> As the hound starts to crumble, parts of it's body beginning to collapse as death comes closer for it again, the wraith endures and dives at Amaryl!
[21:00] <Kotono> roll 1d20+16
06[21:00] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+16 and gets 32." [1d20=16]

01[21:03] <Seira> roll 1d4
06[21:03] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d4 and gets 3." [1d4=3]
[21:03] <Kotono> Diving through Amaryl, the wraith turns her body into snow-white flesh! She falls to her knees, lips turning blue and then gray. "S..se..ira..." she cries in a tiny voice, "...co...ld..." Her eyes glaze over, falling face down onto the ground.
[21:03] <Kotono> roll 1d4
06[21:03] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d4 and gets 4." [1d4=4]

[21:03] <Kotono> OOC: Alicia.
[21:04] <Alicia> OOC: the wraith is back in the walls, right?
[21:04] <Kotono> OOC: Yes.
[21:05] <Alicia> "Oh no..." Alicia gasps quietly, before she immediately moves above Amaryl's body, firing a blast of spellfire through the walls in the direction the wraith fled, hoping to catch it! Hopefully her presence can at least keep Amaryl's spirit safe...
[21:05] <Alicia> roll 10d8 DC 22 reflex, 280ft line so it might open up to another chamber or something
06[21:05] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 10d8 DC 22 reflex, 280ft line so it might open up to another chamber or something and gets 37." [10d8=8, 2, 5, 6, 2, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4]
[21:06] <Alicia> roll 1d100
06[21:06] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d100 and gets 7." [1d100=7]
[21:06] <Kotono> The spellfire rips forth! It passes through the wraith, burrowing above it 30ft into the wall! Sixty feet up, you see light spilling down, a faint, flickering light, some sort of chamber above! OOC: Hound.
[21:07] <Kotono> The hound continues to blindly thrash!
[21:07] <Kotono> roll 1d20+14
06[21:07] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+14 and gets 27." [1d20=13]
[21:07] <Kotono> The wall buckles and groans, but just barely holds it! OOC: Seira, you can AoO it.
01[21:08] <Seira> OOC: Pass
[21:08] <Kotono> OOC: Okay. Antneora/Latha/Wraith/Seira are up. Go ahead and go first, I'll resolve the wraith last.
06[21:08] * Seira lands quietly.
[21:09] <Alicia> Antenora and Latha both look sadly at Amaryl's corpse, but there's no time to mourn when any of them could be next. Standing back to back, the duo tense ready for its reappearance to punish it with holy light!
[21:09] <Kotono> OOC: The wraith is visible, due to the spellfire hole.
[21:10] <Alicia> OOC: they're waiting for it to approach so they can hit it and the dog at once
[21:10] <Kotono> OOC: Okay.
[21:10] <Kotono> The wraith plummets down like the wrath of Demogorgon, flying down towards Alicia as it swells with stolen life-energy! OOC: Go you two if you're gonna.
[21:11] <Alicia> roll 1d100 Latha
06[21:11] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d100 Latha and gets 90." [1d100=90]

06[21:11] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+14 and gets 34." [1d20=20]

03[21:12] * Kotono changes topic to 'Antenora=Latha=Wraith=Seira=Amaryl(4 rounds)(18)>Alicia(16)'
[21:13] <Kotono> In this dual bursts, the hound collapses! Bodies litter the ground now, the beast defeated! The wraith endures, still furious and aching for life force from Alicia!
[21:13] <Kotono> roll 1d20+16
06[21:13] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+16 and gets 21." [1d20=5]

[21:14] <Alicia> roll 1d4
06[21:14] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d4 and gets 2." [1d4=2]
[21:15] <Kotono> Alicia's arm is grazed, a small patch of white on her flesh, but she evades the worst! OOC: Alicia.
03[21:15] * Kotono changes topic to 'Antenora=Latha=Wraith=Seira=Amaryl(3 rounds)(18)>Alicia(16)'
[21:15] <Alicia> OOC: Arm? I'm a ball of light!
[21:15] <Kotono> OOC: Point. Ball then. Anyway, go ahead and go, sec.
06[21:16] * Alicia cancels her transformation, reverting to her humanoid form now that the archon's rays are of little use. "Seira," she gets out while trying to dodge the still hungry wraith. "Mystra granted me a spell to return the dead to life. If we can get to our belongings, we might get her back."
[21:16] <Kotono> OOC: Everyone and the wraith, basically. Everyone can go first.
06[21:17] * Alicia magic missiles the wraith while stepping back from it, while Latha and Antenora unleash their smites again!
[21:17] <Alicia> roll 5d4+5 magic missile
06[21:17] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 5d4+5 magic missile and gets 14." [5d4=2, 4, 1, 1, 1]

[21:18] <Kotono> roll 1d20+14
06[21:18] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+14 and gets 20." [1d20=6]
[21:18] <Kotono> Holy power and arcane missiles riddle the wraith, rocking it over and over as it whirls and goes for Alicia again, before going back into the ground!
[21:18] <Kotono> roll 1d20+16
06[21:18] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+16 and gets 34." [1d20=18]

06[21:19] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+23 and gets 35." [1d20=12]
[21:19] <Kotono> Alicia again endures this terrible violation, body withstanding! OOC: Any action, Seira?
03[21:20] * Kotono changes topic to 'Antenora=Latha=Wraith=Seira=Amaryl(2 rounds)(18)>Alicia(16)'
06[21:20] * Seira looks at Alicia, before back towards Amaryl, not really comprehending.
06[21:21] * Alicia picks up the club after her magic missile as well, while the wraith is fleeing.
[21:21] <Kotono> OOC: Okay. Alicia, go.
[21:22] <Alicia> With club in hand she waits for the wraith to return so she can beat the shit out of it, while Latha and Antenora prepare their smites for its reappearance. They can comfort Seira when they're not in imminint danger of sharing Amaryl's fate.
[21:25] <Kotono> Thus, the wraith rips out of the ground, going for Alicia once more! OOC: Go ahead and go, holders.
[21:26] <Alicia> roll 1d100 Latha
06[21:26] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d100 Latha and gets 86." [1d100=86]

01[21:26] <Seira> Seira's fiery breath joins the smites, targetting the wraith.
01[21:26] <Seira> roll 1d100
06[21:26] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d100 and gets 72." [1d100=72]
01[21:26] <Seira> roll 8d8
06[21:26] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 8d8 and gets 41." [8d8=6, 8, 1, 2, 6, 3, 7, 8]

06[21:27] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d4 and gets 2." [1d4=2]
[21:27] <Kotono> OOC: Alicia?
06[21:27] * Alicia whips her club through the wraith, trying to bash it apart with magical empowered bludgeoning force!
[21:27] <Alicia> roll 1d20+24 -2pa
06[21:27] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+24 -2pa and gets 43." [1d20=19]

[21:27] <Alicia> roll 1d20+14 -2pa
06[21:27] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+14 -2pa and gets 22." [1d20=8]
[21:27] <Alicia> roll 1d100
06[21:27] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d100 and gets 42." [1d100=42]

[21:27] <Alicia> roll 1d100
06[21:27] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d100 and gets 57." [1d100=57]
[21:27] <Alicia> roll 1d6+18
06[21:27] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d6+18 and gets 21." [1d6=3]
[21:28] <Kotono> The wraith is greviously mangled, it's form half faded as it goes for Alicia!
[21:28] <Kotono> roll 1d20+16
06[21:28] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+16 and gets 19." [1d20=3]
[21:28] <Kotono> OOC: Touch aC?
[21:28] <Kotono> roll 2d6 and fort if it hits
06[21:28] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 2d6 and fort if it hits and gets 6." [2d6=4, 2]
[21:28] <Alicia> OOC: hilariously it goes down to 19 now that I'm out of lantern form
[21:28] <Alicia> roll 1d20+23
06[21:28] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+23 and gets 30." [1d20=7]
[21:28] <Kotono> Alicia is touched one more, enduring! The wraith goes up and down, coming around for nather pass! OOC: Go ahead and go everyone, we're all on the same init
[21:29] <Kotono> ,
[21:29] <Alicia> roll 1d100 Latha
06[21:29] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d100 Latha and gets 40." [1d100=40]

06[21:29] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d100 Anty, divine succor on Seira now that I remember it and gets 29." [1d100=29]
[21:29] <Alicia> Alicia keeps whacking its head as it emerges!
[21:29] <Alicia> roll 1d20+26
06[21:29] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+26 and gets 35." [1d20=9]
[21:29] <Alicia> roll 1d20+21

[21:29] <Alicia> roll 3#1d100
06[21:29] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 3#1d100 and gets 93." [3#1d100 = 14, 32, 47]
[21:29] <Kotono> OOC: Seira?
01[21:29] <Seira> OOC: Pass this time
03[21:30] * Kotono changes topic to 'Antenora=Latha=Wraith=Seira=Amaryl(18)>Alicia(16)'
[21:30] <Kotono> Amaryl's body has a hissing sigh escape it, but nothing more happens, as Alicia is once again menaced! All the powers simply miss the wraith!
[21:30] <Kotono> roll 1d20+16
06[21:30] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+16 and gets 17." [1d20=1]
[21:30] <Kotono> But this time Alicia springs out of the way, just barely avoiding the touch, going up and then back down! OOC: Party.
[21:30] <Alicia> roll 1d100 Latha
06[21:30] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d100 Latha and gets 76." [1d100=76]

[21:31] <Alicia> roll 1d20+21
06[21:31] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+21 and gets 30." [1d20=9]
06[21:31] * Seira once more strafes the wraith with fire.
[21:31] <Alicia> roll 1d20+16
06[21:31] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+16 and gets 35." [1d20=19]
01[21:31] <Seira> roll 1d100
06[21:31] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d100 and gets 77." [1d100=77]
[21:31] <Alicia> roll 3#1d100
01[21:31] <Seira> roll 8d8
06[21:31] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 3#1d100 and gets 160." [3#1d100 = 35, 64, 61]
06[21:31] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 8d8 and gets 41." [8d8=3, 7, 4, 8, 6, 8, 3, 2]
[21:31] <Alicia> roll 2d6+28
01[21:31] <Seira> roll 1d4
06[21:31] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 2d6+28 and gets 35." [2d6=3, 4]
06[21:31] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d4 and gets 1." [1d4=1]
[21:31] <Kotono> Golden fire erupts around the wraith, it's bodyburning away! As it's last bit of power manifests as gold turns it to air, it desperately reaches for Alicia!
[21:31] <Kotono> roll 1d20+16
06[21:31] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+16 and gets 29." [1d20=13]
[21:31] <Kotono> roll 2d6 and fort
06[21:31] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 2d6 and fort and gets 6." [2d6=2, 4]
[21:32] <Alicia> roll 1d20+23
06[21:32] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+23 and gets 33." [1d20=10]
[21:32] <Kotono> But Alicia endures, the wraith slain! OOC: Free act.
[21:32] <Kotono> Antenora closes her eyes and turns away, her voice a murmuring prayer in Celestial.
[21:33] <Kotono> Latha goes to Seira, walking towards her. In a gentle, loving words filled with warmth that rages against the fortress around you, "Seira. Amaryl still needs your help."
06[21:33] * Seira looks incredulously at Latha.
06[21:34] * Alicia breathes out, the battle won for the moment. Technically Mystra said the scroll was for the Crimson Guard, but she knows Seira needs this. "Seira, we can use the scroll of resurrection Mystra gave me - if Amaryl ignored the temptations of the Magus of Time for you, we can surely bring her back from the afterlife with it."
[21:34] <Kotono> "You heard what Alicia said. We can bring her back if we find our possessions." Looking right back at her, "You have the strength within you to do this, I've seen it before. Come with us." She offers out a hand, "For Amaryl's sake."
06[21:38] * Seira stares at Latha for a long time. "I can't really care, it seems. About anything. But if you want me to kill things for you, I can do that."
[21:40] <Kotono> "Very well then." Latha reaches out, taking Seira's hand, "We'll do that together, and we'll save Amaryl together. We need to keep moving, too."
[21:42] <Kotono> After a moment, "Do we have any means to find our gear fasteR? Hell Striker can communicate if he senses us. What about Lagann, isn't he your familiar? Any magic, too?" Antenora looks up above, "We also have a new path to explore, if we choose to."
[21:42] <Alicia> "Perhaps its best if you were to guard the rear," Alicia suggests, recognising that she's surely in shock and won't be any good to anyone now. Kneeling down, she picks up Amaryl's corpse, appreciating that she's a delicate elf for once. "Lets try climbing up that path I burrowed?" she nods her head to the spellfire tunnel and light glinting at the end of it.
[21:42] <Alicia> "Also, Latha, can you cast dispel evil on me so I can convert it to more spellfire energy?" she asks the deva.
[21:43] <Kotono> Lathat does so, casting it as many times as Alicia wishes.
[21:44] <Alicia> Six castings is enough for the moment, Alicia handing her club off to Antenora and flying up into the sloping tunnel, bracing herself so she can start climbing up with her burden.
[21:46] <Kotono> Thus Alicia flies up 60 feet, Antenora following. Latha looks upward, "Let's go," she urges very gently. "Follow me, Seira?" Above, you come into a room covered in head to toe with black velvet.  The entire room is engraved with eyes carved from bone, embedded into the velvet. Another sixty feet up the blast hole, you see another dim source of light.
[21:47] <Alicia> Any magic?
06[21:47] * Seira follows, staring around with something approaching apathy.
[21:48] <Alicia> roll 1d20+26 spellcraft
06[21:48] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+26 spellcraft and gets 42." [1d20=16]
[21:48] <Kotono> In the room, there's two doors, opposite each other. They are like giant eyes, the pupils slashed apart for small doors.
[21:51] <Alicia> "I think this is where they make the wraiths..." Alicia represses a shudder that has nothing to do with Amaryl's clammy cold skin against her own. "Could you two try dispelling it? I don't like the thought of someone activating it while we're in here."
[21:51] <Kotono> Antenora and Latha attempt so.
[21:51] <Kotono> roll 1d20+10
[21:51] <Kotono> roll 1d20+10
06[21:51] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+10 and gets 15." [1d20=5]
06[21:51] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+10 and gets 15." [1d20=5]
[21:51] <Kotono> roll 1d20+10
[21:51] <Kotono> roll 1d20+10
06[21:51] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+10 and gets 13." [1d20=3]
06[21:51] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+10 and gets 20." [1d20=10]
[21:51] <Kotono> After a few tries, "Nothing. The magic's very strong," Antenora breathes out, before looking to Alicia, "Let's keep moving then, before someone does?"
06[21:52] * Seira can't help but wonder whether it is something she can break.
[21:52] <Alicia> "There's no magic on the doors... lets try the one on the left?" Alicia suggests, starting towards it but leaving the opening to someone with their hands free.
[21:53] <Kotono> Antenora steps forward, opening the door! It leads to a long hall, about sixty feet long. The walls, floor and ceiling are transparent force, only barely visible. A miserably cold breeze blows ahead, Antenora stepping back and covering herself!
[21:54] <Alicia> What's at the end of the sixty feet?
[21:55] <Kotono> At the end of the sixty feet is another door, an archway with a wall of shadows. The door is carved of the same stuff. The floor near it is covered in ice.
[21:55] <Kotono> "I can see ahead," Latha says, "The cold will not slow me, nor will it harm me."
[21:56] <Alicia> "Seira and I are both warded against it as well." Alicia spends a moment to share that same blessing with Antenora. "Lets go, then?" She steps onto the forcefield, her skin crawling at the sensation and her burnt wings ready to take flight at any moment should it give way beneath her.
[21:57] <Kotono> Thus you advance ahead! The wind gets worse, ice forming on your bodies! But you advance on, even as you gain clothing of a sort - a layer of black ice forms on your bodies, making movement slow. But you reach the door! OOC: -10 movement speed. No damage, you're cold protected.
[21:58] <Kotono> "At least the timing of it's fortunate..." Antenora mutters darkly, going to the door. "Seira, do you want to search for traps on it?"
06[21:59] * Seira gives it a try at Antenora's prompting, looking over the door dispassionately.
06[21:59] * Alicia adjusts the dead weight of Amaryl that she carries, really not wanting their skin to become frozen together. "This cold is clearly magical... You two might be able to dispel it?"
01[21:59] <Seira> roll 1d20+27
06[21:59] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+27 and gets 30." [1d20=3]
[21:59] <Kotono> roll 1d20+10
[21:59] <Kotono> roll 1d20+10
06[21:59] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+10 and gets 27." [1d20=17]
06[21:59] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+10 and gets 26." [1d20=16]
[22:00] <Kotono> The ice crumbles away from the party! Meanwhile, Seira finds the door is not trapped.
06[22:00] * Seira opens the door.
[22:00] <Kotono> As Seira opens the door...(More)
[22:01] <Kotono> Ahead lies a plaza. The floor is painted to resemble a gaping mouth of a skull, the planes drawn in it's mouth. Six doors are here, the party coming through one of them.
[22:02] <Alicia> roll 1d20+26 spellcraft
06[22:02] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+26 spellcraft and gets 31." [1d20=5]
01[22:03] <Seira> "Lagann," Seira states, using the word to call upon the draconic magic of location almost instinctively.
[22:03] <Alicia> "This place is warded against divination... probably where they hold meetings," Alicia muses, stepping inside, before blinking in surprise and looking at Seira. "Can you sense him?"
[22:04] <Kotono> "We're close? Thank Mystra," Antenora turns back, "Which way?"
01[22:04] <Seira> "It has been very quiet lately," Seira explains to Alicia. "Of course I would sense anything."
06[22:04] * Seira proceeds down the plaza, at that.
[22:05] <Kotono> Latha and Antenora follow Seira. She reaches the door directly opposite this one without incident.
06[22:05] * Alicia isn't quite sure what Seira means by that, but since she seems to be showing some initiative she's just going to be grateful for it, and follows along after the half-dragon.
06[22:07] * Seira heads straight ahead, intent on opening the door at the end of her path one way or the other.
[22:08] <Kotono> The door opens! Ahead is a large room, a single door in the back. This door is covered with runes all over, glowing with arcane fury! But ahead of it...ahead of it...it is carved from one vast block of stone. It is humanoid in shape, a giant creature of pure stone! It's eyes are lifeless, but it begins to move as the party approaches! OOC: This is obviously a problem. Roll init here.
01[22:08] <Seira> roll 1d20+6
[22:08] <Alicia> roll 1d20+5 Alicia
06[22:08] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+5 Alicia and gets 15." [1d20=10]
06[22:08] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+6 and gets 22." [1d20=16]
[22:08] <Alicia> roll 1d20+8 Anty
06[22:08] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+8 Anty and gets 13." [1d20=5]
[22:09] <Kotono> roll 1d20-2
06[22:09] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20-2 and gets 17." [1d20=19]
[22:09] <Alicia> roll 1d20+5 Anty (+8 was Latha)
06[22:09] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+5 Anty (+8 was Latha) and gets 22." [1d20=17]
03[22:09] * Kotono changes topic to 'Latha=Seira(22)>Stone creature(17)>Alicia(15)>Antenora(13)'
[22:09] <Kotono> OOC: Go ahead and go, you two.
[22:10] <Alicia> Latha promptly blasts it with a flame strike!
[22:10] <Alicia> OOC: SR?
[22:10] <Kotono> OOC: No need.
[22:10] <Alicia> roll 15d6 DC 20
06[22:10] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 15d6 DC 20 and gets 53." [15d6=4, 4, 5, 5, 4, 4, 5, 1, 5, 6, 2, 4, 1, 2, 1]
[22:10] <Kotono> The spell simply fizzles around the creature, failing to even appear near it! OOC: Seira.
06[22:11] * Seira launches a corrosive orb of acid at what dares stand between she and Lagann!
[22:11] <Kotono> OOC: That doesn't allow SR? Carry on.
01[22:11] <Seira> roll 1d20+19
06[22:11] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+19 and gets 39." [1d20=20]
[22:11] <Kotono> OOC: Hit.
01[22:12] <Seira> roll 5d8
06[22:12] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 5d8 and gets 15." [5d8=1, 3, 6, 4, 1]
[22:13] <Kotono> The golem is hit head on by the acid, sizzling on it's stony body! It lumbers forward, going to the door and slamming out HARD at Latha!
[22:13] <Kotono> roll 1d20+42 yeah it's not missing, golems have crazy to hit
06[22:13] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+42 yeah it's not missing, golems have crazy to hit and gets 55." [1d20=13]
[22:13] <Kotono> roll 4d8+13
06[22:13] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 4d8+13 and gets 31." [4d8=3, 8, 5, 2]
[22:14] <Kotono> The blow sends Latha reeling back, tumbling and jiggling as she's slammed hard enough to shatter steel! OOC: Alicia.
[22:15] <Alicia> "Everyone, run back through the corridor of force - I've got a plan!" Alicia yells, setting Amaryl's body down to the side and then flying back the way they came!
[22:15] <Kotono> OOC: Antenora.
[22:16] <Alicia> Antenora is happy to follow Alicia's lead, healing Latha as she flees back after her fellow paladin!
[22:17] <Kotono> OOC: Latha'n'Seira.
[22:17] <Alicia> Latha exercises the better part of valour and withdraws, flying back and easily overtaking Antenora and Alicia with her superior flying speed.
06[22:19] * Seira spends more time than perhaps necessary choosing her course of action, but ends up picking up Amaryl and retreating as well.
[22:19] <Kotono> Thus the party flies back! The golem strikes out at the wall between it and the party!
[22:19] <Kotono> roll 1d20+42 formality
[22:19] <Kotono> roll 1d20+42 formality
06[22:19] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+42 formality and gets 56." [1d20=14]
06[22:19] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+42 formality and gets 61." [1d20=19]
[22:19] <Kotono> roll 8d8+26
06[22:19] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 8d8+26 and gets 59." [8d8=5, 4, 1, 5, 6, 3, 3, 6]
[22:19] <Kotono> The doorway and wall are obliterated, the golem stepping through as it pursues! OOC: Everyone else, are you still running straight back this round?
06[22:20] * Alicia comes to a stop at the centre of the 60 foot long force-passage, but Latha and Antenora flee further, back into the velvet room and out of the potential blast radius.
06[22:20] * Seira follows Latha.
[22:21] <Alicia> OOC: readied action to go with a spellfire blast when the golem comes into the passage after me
[22:21] <Kotono> Thus the party retreats back! The golem follows, plummeting the shadowy doorway as well!
[22:21] <Kotono> roll 1d20+42
[22:21] <Kotono> roll 1d20+42
06[22:21] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+42 and gets 55." [1d20=13]
06[22:21] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+42 and gets 46." [1d20=4]
[22:21] <Kotono> roll 8d8+26
06[22:21] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 8d8+26 and gets 66." [8d8=4, 2, 5, 6, 6, 7, 2, 8]
[22:21] <Kotono> The shadows shatter apart, the golem just barely stepping inside! OOC: Alicia.
06[22:21] * Alicia holds, waiting for the golem to rush her, needing it to be standing fully on the force-floor before she lets loose...
[22:22] <Kotono> OOC: Rest of the party holding?
01[22:22] <Seira> OOC: So it seems
[22:22] <Alicia> Antenora and Latha wait inside the velvet room, seventy feet from Alicia
[22:23] <Kotono> Thus Seira and the rest follow! The golem advances in...OOC: Go ahead and go, Alicia.
[22:24] <Alicia> With the golem suspended over air on nothing but magic, Alicia flaps her wings to hold herself aloft before detonating a massive spherical blast of spellfire to send it plummetting into the darkness below!
[22:24] <Alicia> roll 18d8 DC 22 reflex half
06[22:24] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 18d8 DC 22 reflex half and gets 81." [18d8=6, 2, 6, 5, 5, 5, 1, 1, 5, 7, 7, 5, 1, 6, 8, 4, 6, 1]
[22:24] <Kotono> roll 1d20+12
06[22:24] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+12 and gets 28." [1d20=16]
[22:25] <Kotono> The golem is blasted by spellfire, rippling in it...and them plummeitng down and out of sight, the walls of force shredded and dropping it! OOC: Free act.
[22:25] <Alicia> "Way's clear, lets go," Alicia waves the others forward, flying back towards the chamber the construct guarded.
[22:26] <Kotono> Thus the party files back to the room. The runed door awaits ahead...
[22:26] <Alicia> Any magic?
[22:27] <Alicia> roll 1d20+26 spellcraft
06[22:27] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+26 spellcraft and gets 38." [1d20=12]
[22:27] <Alicia> "There's strong magic on the door, but it should be possible to dispel it," Alicia states as Latha and Antenora catch up.
06[22:28] * Alicia heals Latha as she waits on the dynamic duo doing something about said magic.
[22:28] <Alicia> roll 12d4+12
06[22:28] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 12d4+12 and gets 37." [12d4=1, 4, 3, 1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 3, 2, 2, 1]
[22:28] <Kotono> roll 1d20+10
[22:28] <Kotono> roll 1d20+10
06[22:28] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+10 and gets 23." [1d20=13]
06[22:28] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+10 and gets 25." [1d20=15]
[22:29] <Kotono> "It's not budging," Antenor aannounces, "Also, problem. 100 feet down's naother wraith, and it's coming this way," Antenora says.
06[22:29] * Alicia holds out her hand to Antenora for the club. "Lets deal with that first, then," she states grimly.
[22:30] <Kotono> "Better yet," Antenora passes over the club, "Seira, can you disarm it while we deal with the wraith?"
01[22:31] <Seira> "It might blow up," Seira responds, setting Amaryl's body down and heading towards the door without reservations.
01[22:31] <Seira> roll 1d20+27 search
[22:31] <Kotono> OOC: Roll init then, everyone.
06[22:31] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+27 search and gets 43." [1d20=16]
[22:31] <Alicia> roll 1d20+5 Alicia
06[22:31] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+5 Alicia and gets 12." [1d20=7]
[22:31] <Alicia> roll 1d20+5 Anty

[22:31] <Alicia> roll 1d20+8 Latha
06[22:31] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+8 Latha and gets 16." [1d20=8]
01[22:31] <Seira> roll 1d20+6
06[22:31] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+6 and gets 17." [1d20=11]
[22:32] <Kotono> roll 1d20+15
06[22:32] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+15 and gets 27." [1d20=12]
03[22:32] * Kotono changes topic to 'Wraith(27)>Antenora(24)>Seira(17)>Latha(16)>Alicia(12)'
[22:33] <Kotono> It comes ripping out of the ground, screaming curses in the dreadful words of heresy! It's body is pure black, writhing with utter energies of negation! It's like a wound on your souls to look at, as it claws at Antenora!
[22:33] <Kotono> roll 1d20+18
06[22:33] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+18 and gets 35." [1d20=17]
[22:33] <Kotono> roll 3d6 and fort, Antenora
06[22:33] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 3d6 and fort, Antenora and gets 5." [3d6=1, 1, 3]
[22:33] <Alicia> roll 1d20+30
06[22:33] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+30 and gets 36." [1d20=6]
[22:34] <Kotono> Antenora somehow withstands the agony, even as it's presence seems to rip the life out of you! OOC: 10 negative energy damage to all. Antenora's up now.
[22:35] <Alicia> Antenora retorts with a holy smite, healing Seira with her own divine fury!
[22:35] <Alicia> roll 1d100
06[22:35] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d100 and gets 44." [1d100=44]
[22:35] <Kotono> Even as SEira's wounds heal, the wraith simply ignores the smite altogether! OOC: Seira.
06[22:36] * Seira takes a moment away from the door as she gives the wraith a cold glare, trying to roast it.
01[22:36] <Seira> roll 1d100
06[22:36] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d100 and gets 32." [1d100=32]
01[22:36] <Seira> roll 1d4
06[22:36] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d4 and gets 1." [1d4=1]
[22:36] <Kotono> But the wraith isn't evne bothered by the fire, it's black form utterly absolute and ungiving! OOC: Latha then.
[22:37] <Alicia> Latha unleashes her own smite! One of them has to get lucky, surely.
[22:37] <Alicia> roll 1d100
06[22:37] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d100 and gets 8." [1d100=8]
[22:37] <Alicia> roll 1d20+25 religion
06[22:37] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+25 religion and gets 44." [1d20=19]
[22:39] <Alicia> Latha replies to the heresies the creature spouts with her own tongue, speaking in the primal language of creation as she drowns it out with her heartwarming song!
[22:39] <Kotono> The smite fails to wound it, once again simply like air through air! OOC: Alicia.
06[22:40] * Alicia really can't overstate how much she hates these wretched things, channelling all of her fury into her club as she bashes it again and again and again till it shuts up and stops moving!
[22:40] <Alicia> roll 1d20+16 knowledge
06[22:40] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+16 knowledge and gets 18." [1d20=2]
[22:40] <Alicia> roll 1d20+24 divine might
06[22:40] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+24 divine might and gets 26." [1d20=2]

06[22:40] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+14 divine might and gets 34." [1d20=20]
[22:41] <Alicia> roll 3#1d100
[22:41] <Kotono> OOC: Two hits, first is a miss.
06[22:41] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 3#1d100 and gets 88." [3#1d100 = 1, 39, 48]
[22:41] <Kotono> OOC: Irrelevant, it seems.
[22:41] <Kotono> The clubblows fail to even phase the wraith, as it sings it's words of un-life, Latha's words of creation countering each one! It darts to Latha, going for her throat! OOC: AoO is triggered, Alicia, if you wanna take one.
[22:42] <Alicia> roll 1d20+24 damn right
06[22:42] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+24 damn right and gets 43." [1d20=19]
[22:42] <Alicia> roll 1d100
06[22:42] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d100 and gets 12." [1d100=12]
[22:42] <Kotono> roll 1d20+18 Latha grab
06[22:42] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+18 Latha grab and gets 38." [1d20=20]
[22:42] <Kotono> roll 1d20+18 Latha grab crit?
06[22:42] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+18 Latha grab crit? and gets 23." [1d20=5]
[22:42] <Kotono> OOC: Latha's touch AC?
[22:42] <Alicia> OOC: 18
[22:42] <Kotono> roll 6d6 and fort
06[22:42] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 6d6 and fort and gets 22." [6d6=6, 5, 2, 3, 1, 5]
[22:42] <Alicia> roll 1d20+20
06[22:42] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+20 and gets 28." [1d20=8]
[22:43] <Kotono> roll 1d8 con drain
06[22:43] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d8 con drain and gets 8." [1d8=8]
[22:43] <Kotono> Latha's throat is ripped, her vocal cords nearly pulled out through her mouth! She coughs and continues her song weakly, even as her angelic form turns half ghostly and drained! OOC: Antenora.
[22:44] <Alicia> "Latha!" Antenora cries in alarm, furiously smiting the undead blasphemy as she comes to her friend's aid!
[22:44] <Alicia> roll 1d100
06[22:44] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d100 and gets 38." [1d100=38]
[22:45] <Kotono> But the wraith is unstoppable! It's power is nothing to Latha's holy energy! OOC: seira.
01[22:46] <Seira> "No!" Seira exclaims, as it comes off too much like a repetition of Amaryl's final moments, and fire once more tries to burn the wretched wraith.
01[22:46] <Seira> roll 1d100
06[22:46] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d100 and gets 67." [1d100=67]
01[22:46] <Seira> roll 8d8
06[22:46] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 8d8 and gets 36." [8d8=8, 6, 6, 1, 5, 2, 1, 7]
01[22:46] <Seira> roll 1d4
[22:46] <Kotono> roll 1d20+16 dex whore, sorry
06[22:46] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+16 dex whore, sorry and gets 26." [1d20=10]
06[22:46] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d4 and gets 4." [1d4=4]
[22:46] <Kotono> The fires lick the wraith! IT glows with Latha's life energy, whirling around as it's gaze burns into Seira! OOC: Latha.
[22:48] <Alicia> If the wraith wants Latha dead so much, it's going to have to earn it. Continuing her song with everything she has, the deva protects herself with an orb of whirling blades surrounding her form tightly, forcing the wraith to endure them if it wishes to remain in melee with her!
[22:48] <Alicia> roll 15d6 DC 21 reflex for blade barrier, it'll have to leave melee if it saves though
06[22:48] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 15d6 DC 21 reflex for blade barrier, it'll have to leave melee if it saves though and gets 50." [15d6=6, 5, 3, 4, 2, 6, 6, 1, 2, 3, 2, 2, 6, 1, 1]
[22:48] <Kotono> OOC: Alicia.
[22:48] <Kotono> roll 1d20+16
06[22:48] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+16 and gets 33." [1d20=17]
[22:48] <Kotono> The wraith floats back, it's attention fully on Seira now!
[22:49] <Alicia> With the wraith moving back into range, Alicia continues hammering at it with her club, trying to attain some clarity of focus rather than swinging wildly, counting on her skill to make the blows count!
[22:49] <Alicia> roll 1d20+24
06[22:49] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+24 and gets 26." [1d20=2]
[22:49] <Alicia> roll 1d20+19
06[22:49] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+19 and gets 28." [1d20=9]

[22:49] <Alicia> roll 1d6+20+1d8
06[22:50] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d6+20+1d8 and gets 28." [1d6=1][1d8=7]
[22:50] <Kotono> The wraith is struck, it's attention turning to Alicia now, hateful glares! It goes for her, ignoring Latha as it reaches for Alicia!
[22:50] <Kotono> roll 1d20+18
06[22:50] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+18 and gets 19." [1d20=1]
[22:50] <Kotono> But Alicia wihrls back, hair shielding her face as she evades out of the way! OOC: Antenora, lucky break.
[22:50] <Alicia> Sensing it's on the ropes (and wishing she had hers) Antenora smites it most mightily!
[22:51] <Alicia> roll 1d100
06[22:51] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d100 and gets 76." [1d100=76]
[22:51] <Alicia> roll 5d8 DC 19
06[22:51] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 5d8 DC 19 and gets 21." [5d8=3, 6, 5, 5, 2]
[22:51] <Kotono> roll 1d20+15
06[22:51] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+15 and gets 26." [1d20=11]
01[22:51] <Seira> "Hit it and fall back!" Seira calls out.
[22:51] <Alicia> OOC: divine succor for Latha, too
[22:51] <Kotono> Antenora's holy energies lick at the phantasm, slightly disrupting it's body! OOC: Seira.
01[22:52] <Seira> "I'm opening the damn door, and that wraith better be the only thing here when I do," Seira warns.
01[22:52] <Seira> OOC: I'll wait on Alicia's init
[22:53] <Kotono> OOC: LAtha and then Alicia.
[22:53] <Alicia> Latha smites the undead again from her safe shelter!
[22:53] <Alicia> roll 1d100
06[22:54] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d100 and gets 89." [1d100=89]
03[22:54] * Rei-chan (Rei-chan@user-5443bf7e.lns5-c8.dsl.pol.co.uk) has joined #dunes
03[22:54] * Alicia sets mode: -v+v Hatbot Rei-chan

03[22:54] * Alicia sets mode: +v Hatbot
[22:54] <Alicia> Trusting Seira knows what she's doing, Alicia tumbles away from the wraith and to the side of the room, before blasting it with a fusillade of glowing blue bolts of force!

[22:55] <Kotono> roll 1d20+15
06[22:55] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+15 and gets 19." [1d20=4]
[22:56] <Kotono> Smites and missiles pepper the wraith, weakening it further but yet barely slowing it down as Alicia falls back! OOC: Wraith.
[22:56] <Kotono> The wraith howls, going right for Alicia and following!
[22:56] <Kotono> roll 1d20+18
06[22:56] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+18 and gets 38." [1d20=20]

01[22:56] <Seira> OOC: No, mr
01[22:56] <Seira> OOC: Me, even
[22:57] <Kotono> OOC: Okay. Go ahead and go then. I'll hold it's rolls assuming it's action doesn't change.
03[22:57] * Kotono changes topic to 'Wraith(27)>Antenora(24)>Latha(16)>Alicia(12)>Seira'
06[22:57] * Seira slams her claw into the rune-covered door, forcing it open.
01[22:58] <Seira> OOC: I'll just fail the DD check intentionally and blow up with it.
[22:58] <Kotono> The trap triggers! A massive gout of dark flames erupt out around Seira and the wraith! OOC: Ref you two.
[22:58] <Kotono> roll 1d20+16
06[22:58] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+16 and gets 32." [1d20=16]

06[22:59] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d100 dur for Wraith and gets 2." [1d100=2]
[23:00] <Kotono> Seira avoids the flames, rolling amid them even as the detonate, moving about in an instant! The wraith's body just flickers, the fires missing it entirely! OOC: Wraith goes and hits Alicia as it did. Antenora.
[23:00] <Alicia> Still focusing her healing efforts on Latha, Antenora smites the wraith some more!
[23:00] <Alicia> roll 1d100
06[23:00] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d100 and gets 26." [1d100=26]
[23:03] <Alicia> Latha tries to smite it where Antenora failed!
[23:03] <Alicia> roll 1d100
06[23:03] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d100 and gets 13." [1d100=13]
[23:04] <Kotono> But both smites fizzle through the phantasm, failing to injure it! OOC: Alicia.
[23:06] <Alicia> Hit it enough and something's bound to stick! Or so Alicia hopes as she whips her fencpost through the wraith's grasping arms before pounding at its shadowy body and head!
[23:06] <Alicia> roll 1d20+27 divine might 3rd level arcane strike

[23:07] <Alicia> roll 1d6+20+1d8+3d4
06[23:07] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d6+20+1d8+3d4 and gets 43." [1d6=5][1d8=8][3d4=4, 3, 3]
[23:08] <Kotono> The wraith is clubbed hard, body flickering but staying intact despite the furious blow Alicia lands on it! OOC: Seira.
06[23:08] * Seira attempts to spear the wraith's back with fiery rays, in the meantime.
01[23:08] <Seira> roll 1d20+15
01[23:08] <Seira> roll 1d20+15

01[23:08] <Seira> roll 4d6 fire
06[23:08] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 4d6 fire and gets 12." [4d6=3, 1, 5, 3]
[23:09] <Kotono> A ray of fire spears through the phantasm, making it whirl towards Seira! With a moan of the Dark Speech, it darts at her! OOC: Alicia, you can AoO it.
[23:09] <Alicia> roll 1d20+27 with great gusto
06[23:09] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+27 with great gusto and gets 30." [1d20=3]
[23:09] <Alicia> roll 1d100
06[23:09] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d100 and gets 30." [1d100=30]
[23:10] <Kotono> But the phantom ignores Alicia as it races for Seira!
[23:10] <Kotono> roll 1d20+18
06[23:10] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+18 and gets 33." [1d20=15]
[23:10] <Kotono> roll 3d6 and fort
06[23:10] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 3d6 and fort and gets 9." [3d6=6, 2, 1]
01[23:10] <Seira> roll 1d20+23
06[23:10] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+23 and gets 41." [1d20=18]
[23:10] <Kotono> Seira takes it hard, rocking back, but she endures it with only gritted teeth! OOC: Antenora/Latha/Alicia.
[23:11] <Alicia> The deva and wannabe deva both unleash their smites, while Alicia sends another volley of magic missiles at the indecisive wraith!
[23:11] <Alicia> roll 1d100 Latha
06[23:11] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d100 Latha and gets 40." [1d100=40]

06[23:11] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 5d4+5 and gets 16." [5d4=2, 2, 4, 2, 1]
[23:12] <Kotono> Again the wraith is hit, but only the missiles even touch it's ghostly form! OOC: Alicia.
[23:12] <Kotono> OOC: Er, Seri.
[23:12] <Kotono> OOC: Seira.
06[23:13] * Seira steps back very calmly, and then conjures up an orb of fire, which she then almost literally presses into the wraith's face.
01[23:13] <Seira> roll 1d20+19
06[23:13] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+19 and gets 39." [1d20=20]
01[23:13] <Seira> roll 1d100

06[23:13] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 5d8 and gets 18." [5d8=4, 4, 2, 2, 6]
[23:13] <Alicia> OOC: divine succor on Alicia
[23:13] <Kotono> Seira presses pure fire into the wraith's face, which gets it to snarl and reach at her!

06[23:13] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+18 and gets 29." [1d20=11]

06[23:14] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+23 and gets 30." [1d20=7]
[23:14] <Kotono> Seira withstands the touch, just barely as her heart skips a few beats! OOC: Alicia crew.
[23:14] <Alicia> Second verse, same as the first.
[23:14] <Alicia> roll 1d100 Latha
06[23:14] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d100 Latha and gets 60." [1d100=60]
[23:14] <Alicia> roll 1d100 Anty
06[23:14] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d100 Anty and gets 77." [1d100=77]

06[23:15] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+15 and gets 16." [1d20=1]
06[23:15] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+15 and gets 30." [1d20=15]
[23:15] <Kotono> With that triple blast of power, the wraith screams as it's body tears apart, leaving behind no sign of it's passing! OOC: Free act.
[23:15] <Alicia> OOC: divine succor on SEira
[23:15] <Kotono> Antenora sags heavily, nearly falling to a knee. "Mystra...we have to be closer. If we have to face a few more of those....we'll see Mystra far too soon."
01[23:16] <Seira> "Door is open," Seira announces simply.
[23:16] <Alicia> "Lets hope it was worth it," Alicia sighs wearily, going to investigate what they fought so hard for.
[23:17] <Kotono> Ahead, you see a large room full of chests, drawers, shelfs and jars. Richesand treasures are all about! On one table near the door, the party's gear lies about, scattered! Lagann sits in a transparent box of crystal, thrashing about in it!
[23:17] <Kotono> Once her wall is gone, Latha apparoaches, "Get your bag, Alicia," she says, even as she goes for her mace and clothes, immediately beginning to rearm herself.
06[23:17] * Seira gently picks the discarded Amaryl, and follows into the room.
06[23:18] * Alicia cheerfully discards her club, locating the portable hole first of all and opening it up to root around for the scroll of resurrection.
[23:18] <Kotono> This is found without incident.
[23:19] <Alicia> "You can use this, Seira?" Alicia asks, handing it over to her hopefully. "To bring Amaryl back?"
06[23:19] * Seira dresses quickly and efficiently while the others do, before approaching Lagann's prison and examining it.
[23:19] <Kotono> It's a crystal box with a heavy crystal lid.
06[23:19] * Seira pauses at Alicia's words. "You were serious, then?" she asks, looking back at the paladin. "You really think she'll return?"
[23:20] <Alicia> "I doubt neither Mystra's magic nor Amaryl's devotion to you," Alicia replies seriously.
[23:20] <Kotono> "She loves you," Latha says, half dressed and topless as she goes to Seira. "I have no doubt she'll return to you."
06[23:20] * Seira returns her attention to the crystal box.
01[23:20] <Seira> roll 1d20+30 search
06[23:20] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+30 search and gets 49." [1d20=19]
[23:21] <Alicia> "Er..." Seeing Seira's disinterest, Alicia isn't quite sure what to make of it. "If you don't think you can cast it yourself, I can have Shankar do it when we return to Balmuria?"
06[23:21] * Seira backhands the box, smashing through the crystal and freeing her familiar. "Then I sure as hell'll give it a try!"
[23:21] <Kotono> The crystal shatters, leaving Lagann free!
06[23:21] * Seira reaches for Alicia's scroll.
06[23:23] * Alicia is far too fascinated by this sort of magic to waste time on such mundane things as recovering her armament or gettint dressed, so watches intently...
[23:23] <Kotono> "Be blessed in your magic," Latha says, ever so gently. "Once Amaryl returns, we will bring terrible, glorious judgment to the darkness that rests within."
01[23:23] <Seira> It never worked for her before, and whenever she complained, yelled, cried or plead, nothing was given but the stock replies. But maybe this time--
[23:23] <Kotono> OOC: Casting?
[23:23] <Kotono> OOC: What's your wisdom?
01[23:24] <Seira> roll 1d20+30 emulate wisdom score
06[23:24] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+30 emulate wisdom score and gets 34." [1d20=4]
[23:24] <Kotono> OOC: Good enough. Make the roll for the scroll.
01[23:24] <Seira> roll 1d20+30 RESURRECTION!
06[23:24] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+30 RESURRECTION! and gets 49." [1d20=19]
[23:25] <Kotono> Seira chants! Each word turns the room brighter, glowing from the scroll! Each verse is beautiful, pushing back the gloom of Silence! As Seira chants, a terrible feeling passes over you, a watching that chills eacho f youto your very souls...but the words Seira speaks pushes it back, repelling it! The ground quivers as circles of great magic form of their own accord around Seira and Amaryl's body! (More)
[23:26] <Kotono>  and Amaryl's body! (More)
[23:27] <Kotono> The presence is darkness. The presence is death. The presence is the end. It screams wordless fury, yet each perfectly pronounced word Seira chants counters it! A cone of golden light appears over Amaryl's body! There is a note of perfect music, Silence shaking hard enough to shatter a mountain..."Ugh..." Amaryl coughs, "Seira...Seira...where are you? Seira...!"
06[23:28] * Alicia smiles at the heartwarming scene, turning away to give the pair some sort of privacy as she starts recovering her belongings and getting dressed.
01[23:29] <Seira> "Amaryl!" Seira exclaims, tackling the elf.
[23:30] <Kotono> Amaryl's arms wrap around Seira! "Oh Seira...I missed you!" She holds the half dragon close to her, "Listen to me. Waukeen's power cannot reach this place through normal means. The Gods have no sway here, but...she was able to send a gift back with me."
[23:30] <Kotono> Antenora smiles, mimicking Alicia. Latha watches for a few moments, eyes warm as she finishes dressing.
01[23:37] <Seira> "I gave up for a while," Seira admits, biting on her lower lip. "I should've just trusted in Waukeen more, but it was just so hard... I was afraid all along, and then the worst happened...." Rather than continue, she buries her face in Amaryl's hair. "I'm happy that you came back."
[23:38] <Kotono> "Waukeen says she understands and..." Amaryl leans in, kissing Seira. As she does, white light engulfs the party! The light soaks into you, washing away your pains and exhaustion like water removes dirt! OOC: Your spells are restored, as are SLA and daily item uses. Your HP is restored, ability drain is reversed and all negative status is negated.
[23:39] <Kotono> OOC: This applies to the entire party.
[23:40] <Kotono> Amid the light, Latha laughs. "Come then...we have righteous fury to dispense."
[23:40] <Kotono> Antenora chuckles, "A shame Marie's not here..." She murmurs a little too loudly.
[23:41] <Kotono> At this...far away, from the door you came, as you stand amid your gear and all the riches otherwise...crying. The crying of babies can be heard, a mournful, eternal sound. Babies are crying in pain, crying for warmth, crying for Mother...
[23:41] <Kotono> ---
