233. The Jungle Gnomish Base

Corwin · March 28, 2012, 03:04:16 PM

[20:07] <Anastasia> ---------------
[20:07] <Anastasia> Okay, elaborate how you guys are going to TP/who's coming, then start making relevant rolls and note location/success odds?
[20:08] <Demedais> First, teleport group to Kelara?
[20:08] <Alicia> roll 1d100 for Alicia to teleport Alicia, Seira, Deme, Polly, Amaryl, and Donald to Kelara. Lets just aim for the countryside near my house, we won't stay long. Studied Carefully.
06[20:08] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d100 for Alicia to teleport Alicia, Seira, Deme, Polly, Amaryl, and Donald to Kelara. Lets just aim for the countryside near my house, we won't stay long. Studied Carefully. and gets 29." [1d100=29]
[20:08] <Alicia> Hit.
[20:08] <Alicia> Deme, you roll to teleport you and me to the river with Seira's ring?
[20:09] <Anastasia> Nothing's happen ing in the boonies but rain. Typical Kelara. Next TP, yeah.
[20:09] <Demedais> Yeah. Aiming for where Deme and Eudard camped just a bit downriver from the base of the stairs to the temple, should be studied carefully since we were there three nights?
[20:09] <Demedais> roll 1d100
06[20:09] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d100 and gets 28." [1d100=28]
[20:10] <Anastasia> Okay, you arrive. It's typical jungle weather, humid and unpleasant but nothing wrong is immediately happening. Looks as safe as anywher ein the jungle is.
[20:10] <Alicia> Alicia looks around a bit and promptly teleports back to the others.
[20:10] <Alicia> roll 1d100 studied carefully again
06[20:10] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d100 studied carefully again and gets 86." [1d100=86]
[20:10] <Alicia> Success. Now she teleports everyone to rejoin Deme.
[20:10] <Alicia> roll 1d100 seen once
06[20:10] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d100 seen once and gets 50." [1d100=50]
[20:11] <Anastasia> Okay, we'll begin from here.
[20:11] <Anastasia> ----
[20:12] <Anastasia> With a final teleport, the party arrives in the jungle! The stone stairs loom ahead opposite of the raging, heavy river. The air is thick with humidity, so much that you can feel it sticking to your skin like a second layer of flesh. The sound of exotic animals ripples around and about, birdsong and insects and things unknown to most.
[20:12] <Anastasia> Donald sniffs the air and grimaces visibly, "Are you kidding?" He glowers, "It's like I'm covered in sweat already."
01[20:13] <Seira> "I can push you in the river."
[20:13] <Anastasia> Pollyanna mimics Donald's sniffing, "It smells so strange here. Nothing like the plains or a normal forest."
[20:13] <Anastasia> "It's not like Pallanth at all," Amaryl agrees, "It's not so hot, though..."
[20:14] <Anastasia> "I'll be okay," Donald quickly amends, "So now what, anyway?"
01[20:15] <Seira> "We look for a special trench," Seira says with authority.
[20:15] <Alicia> "It's the humidity," Alicia agrees, looking around. "I suppose we head South, although those of us that can fly could go above the canopy to see if we can spot any likely signs of the depression we're looking for from a distance?"
[20:16] <Demedais> "As a quick briefing, only drink your own water or water that's moving quickly, and beware large patches of sand, as they may be quicksand. This being said, yes; we're looking for a depression in the ground, from what I read of the map."
01[20:16] <Seira> "Let's take a look ahead, then?" Seira suggests to Alicia, flying up.
[20:17] <Anastasia> "That shouldn't be too hard to find," Amaryl says hopefully, "Good luck up there!"
06[20:17] * Alicia flaps her wings and takes off after Seira. "We'll take a quick look then be back in a moment," she tells the others.
06[20:17] * Alicia also casts Heroism as she ascends.
[20:20] <Anastasia> Seira and Alicia ascend upward! They break through layer afte rlayer of vegetation! As they ascend, they see treebound apes staring at them, in crude houses tucked away in deep branches. They see rainbow colored birds singing them a song as well, sunlight increasing until they at least break above the canopy! The air moves freer here, feeling refreshing against your body. All around is an endless sea of green, only broken by one obvious thin
[20:20] <Anastasia> All around is an endless sea of green, only broken by one obvious thing on a glance. A great stone temple atop a massive hill, mammoth, in the direction of the stairs. Alicia, who has been there, notes it's familiar to her.
06[20:21] * Alicia did stop over briefly with Celebrimbor a time or two, yes. But it's not too important at the moment. "The air feels a lot better above the trees, doesn't it?" she asks Seira, smiling as she circles higher.
06[20:22] * Seira doesn't feel a need to disguise her true form, for a change. "It's great," she agrees, ascending after her.
[20:22] <Anastasia> OOC: How far/high are you two gonna go?
[20:23] <Alicia> OOC: lets say 500 feet or so
01[20:23] <Seira> "Any point in taking a look at the temple?" Seira asks, gesturing in its direction. "It's not really underground, but could be fun all the same."
[20:24] <Anastasia> OOC: You guys make spot checks then?
[20:24] <Alicia> roll 1d20+10
06[20:24] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+10 and gets 11." [1d20=1]
01[20:25] <Seira> roll 1d20+11
06[20:25] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+11 and gets 31." [1d20=20]
[20:26] <Alicia> "Didn't Demedais say it was a holy site for followers of Helm and Talos around here?" Alicia asks. "I don't think it's much of our place to spend much time there. Besides, I'd rather focus on the gnome ruins we're looking for."
01[20:29] <Seira> "There's something on the other side of the river," Seira tells her, pointing that spot out in turn. "Maybe it's as good a spot as any to start looking?"
06[20:30] * Alicia follows Seira's pointing finger to see what this something could be.
01[20:30] <Seira> "The trees are all wrong! I'd say it warrants a teleport closer."
[20:31] <Anastasia> Alicia can, after several long moments of looking, see something is indeed every so slightly off where Seira points. It's very subtle.
[20:34] <Alicia> "Alright," Alicia flaps in place a bit, marking the area in her minds eye. "Lets gather the others and teleport over?" she agrees before flying back down to rejoin the party.
06[20:34] * Seira agrees with such a plan!
[20:34] <Anastasia> The two descend without incident. "See anything," Donald asks, sitting down and drying his head with a cloth.
[20:34] <Demedais> "Anything?" Demedais asks as the group descends.
01[20:34] <Seira> "Something worth teleporting over for."
[20:35] <Alicia> "It's hard to tell for sure from a distance, but possibly," Alicia agrees. "Lets go," she then proceeds to teleport everyone to the 'off' place.
[20:35] <Alicia> roll 1d100 seen once
06[20:35] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d100 seen once and gets 62." [1d100=62]
[20:35] <Anastasia> OOC: Make a caster level check, Alicia?
[20:36] <Alicia> roll 1d20+16
06[20:36] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+16 and gets 30." [1d20=14]
[20:37] <Anastasia> Wooosh! The party appears further in the jungle! Everything is brighter here, like a rainbow. Flora and fauna glow with intense, magnificent color. The trees are purple and browna nd black and violet and red and blossoms of a million different shades and shapes frolic. Everything is different from another, an ambient hum of shifting noises in the air.
06[20:38] * Demedais pulls the spear out, keeping a level eye out for any signs of the base as he recalls it from the map.
[20:39] <Anastasia> All around you is thick, colorful jungle. In one direction it lessens towards normal colors, in the other ways, it continues in this radiant shades and strange shapes.
[20:40] <Anastasia> "What is this?" Amaryl murmurs, huddling to herself and creeping towards Seira. "It's like the forest isn't a forest at all, not like any I've ever seen. It's so colorful!"
01[20:40] <Seira> "Isn't it pretty?" Seira whispers, admiring the sight.
[20:40] <Anastasia> "I don't know. I like it. Forests are damned boring," Donald looks around with an appreciative grin, This looks like a rainbow!"
[20:41] <Alicia> "Hmm... I know jungle plants tend to be more vibrant than you'll find in temperate forest, but this seems a bit more so - over there seems more what I'd expect," Alicia gestures to the direction of 'normal' colours. Her eyes glow blue as she looks around for any magic in the vicinity.
[20:41] <Anastasia> OOC: Make a caster level check, Alicia?
[20:41] <Alicia> roll 1d20+17
06[20:41] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+17 and gets 33." [1d20=16]
[20:41] <Demedais> "My gut check is that it's in the other direction, actually. The jungle's usually colorful, but that area seems far more so than usual." Demedais says, gesturing to the mass of colors.
06[20:42] * Seira looks curiously between Alicia and Demedais.
[20:42] <Alicia> roll 1d20+11
06[20:42] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+11 and gets 24." [1d20=13]
06[20:44] * Demedais frowns and checks for chaos and evil as he waits on Alicia's own diagnostics.
[20:44] <Alicia> "Careful," Alicia speaks up. "We're in an area of Wild Magic. Any spells you cast could have unpredictable results. Regardless, it's probably evidence of gnomish tampering, so we're likely on the right track."
[20:45] <Anastasia> "Wild Magic? Aw shit," Donald rubs the back of his head, "That means all of our spells are like gambling, right?"
01[20:45] <Seira> "Sounds like fun," Seira agrees, mentally checking with Lagann whether there are any metal secret doors within his detection range below.
[20:45] <Demedais> "Yeah, this entire place oozes slight chaos. As such... I'm going to say it's this way again." Demedais says, pointing to the colors. "Makes more sense for this area, being rather stand-out, to be the direction needed."
01[20:46] <Seira> "You know about rods of wonder?" Seira asks Donald. "Like that! Lots of fun."
[20:46] <Alicia> "They could simply fizzle, possibly backfire, or perhaps even worse," Alicia nods gravely. "So think carefully before casting anything here." She then turns towards the more vibrant area, agreeing with Demedais, "The colours are probably a symptom, yes."
[20:47] <Demedais> "Right. That'd mean back that way is area where magic works more normally, so if we have to pull a retreat that's the safest place to do it from." Demedais nods at this.
[20:47] <Anastasia> "Let's go, then," Pollyanna starts walking, "I tis breattaking...by Helm, it's like a rainbow in every detail my eye can take in."
[20:48] <Anastasia> OOC: Who's taking point?
[20:48] <Demedais> "It is astonishing, but who knows what lies amongst the colors..." Demedais frowns.
[20:48] <Demedais> OOC: Kinda figured Mr. Spot Ahoy would.
[20:48] <Anastasia> OOC: That means you?
[20:48] <Demedais> OOC: Yes.
[20:49] <Alicia> OOC: Lets say we go Deme, Alicia, Seira, Polly, Amaryl, Donald?
[20:49] <Anastasia> OOC: Okay.
[20:49] <Anastasia> roll 1d100
06[20:49] * Hatbot --> "Anastasia rolls 1d100 and gets 10." [1d100=10]
[20:50] <Anastasia> The group spends about a half hour walking. The jungle continues, but as they walk along? Ahead, Demedais sees a great, ancient tree as thick as an oak. Much of it just lies on the ground, as if snapped off like a toothpick. The break area is ragged.
01[20:50] <Seira> roll 1d20+22
06[20:50] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+22 and gets 24." [1d20=2]
[20:51] <Demedais> "That looks vaguely ominous." Demedais grimaces, glancing and listening to see if whatever did it's still nearby.
[20:51] <Anastasia> "Downed tree?" Pollyanna asks aloud, checking her bow and arrows in the meantime. OOC: You can make spot/listen if you like, Deme.
[20:52] <Demedais> roll 1d20+31 spot
06[20:52] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+31 spot and gets 47." [1d20=16]
[20:52] <Alicia> roll 1d20+3 nature, any idea when it was downed?
06[20:52] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+3 nature, any idea when it was downed? and gets 16." [1d20=13]
[20:52] <Demedais> roll 1d20+26 listen
06[20:52] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+26 listen and gets 43." [1d20=17]
06[20:52] * Seira draws her sword at Demedais's warning, waiting in place until he decides to proceed or tell them more.
06[20:54] * Demedais looks at the tree in wonder. "...I think something bit that in half... but it's not nearby, I don't think." Then, to the group, "One of the things Eudard and I encountered here was a set of large, incredibly agile lizards. It's possible that whatever did this is related, but bigger. Be careful."
[20:54] <Alicia> "Looks like it was knocked over maybe a week ago. Weren't there huge lizards roaming around the jungle last time you were here, Demedais? Think it could've been one of them?" Alicia asks, looking around in a less tense manner than the others.
[20:54] <Alicia> OOC: strike my line
[20:54] <Alicia> "Looks like it was knocked over maybe a week ago," Alicia observes, leaning over the tear. "Hopefully whatever did it isn't nearby."
[20:55] <Anastasia> roll 1d20+13
06[20:55] * Hatbot --> "Anastasia rolls 1d20+13 and gets 22." [1d20=9]
[20:56] <Anastasia> "Giant lizards?" Donald grimances, "I've heard of them. They're called 'Dinosaurs', I think. Oh well," His expression brightens, "It can't be as bad as a dragon."
[20:56] <Demedais> "I don't believe it is nearby." Demedais shrugs. "Let's move on?"
[20:57] <Anastasia> roll 1d100
06[20:57] * Hatbot --> "Anastasia rolls 1d100 and gets 55." [1d100=55]
01[20:58] <Seira> "Dragons are great!" Seira protests.
[20:58] <Alicia> "Some of them are," Alicia gives Seira an indulgent smile.
[20:59] <Anastasia> The party continues along, debating the merits of dragons in the meanwhile. After about another hour of sweaty walking, the party is brushing past some thin vines. As Demedais puts them aside, "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" The vines seem to scream, like a man in total fear!
[20:59] <Demedais> "Oh, for the love of." Demedais mutters, quickly glancing ahead to see if there's more in the way of the group.
01[20:59] <Seira> "What the hells?!"
[21:00] <Anastasia> "Gah!" Amaryl jumps a foot into the air!
[21:00] <Anastasia> There's a thin screen of vines, not much more past this. This is most of them. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" The vines continue to scream.
01[21:01] <Seira> "Should we... put them out of their misery?"
[21:01] <Anastasia> "Fucking Helm!" Pollyanna blurts, stepping back, "The vines are SCREAMING?!"
06[21:01] * Alicia jumps at the screaming, looking around warily, her eyes glowing blue in the process to pick up any magic as she focuses on the vines.
[21:01] <Alicia> roll 1d20+3 do screaming vines exist in nature?
06[21:01] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+3 do screaming vines exist in nature? and gets 15." [1d20=12]
[21:01] <Anastasia> OOC: Caster level check again.
[21:02] <Alicia> roll 1d20+17
06[21:02] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+17 and gets 24." [1d20=7]
[21:02] <Demedais> "Okay, everyone past the vines quickly, they'll draw attention." Demedais requests, holding them back for the rest of the group quickly. "I'm not sure I want to hear how loud they get when attacked. They're only around here and they don't seem to be attacking me, so let's get moving quickly before things go awry?"
06[21:02] * Seira finds that advice one she could follow.
[21:03] <Alicia> "It's... it's something to do with the magic affecting the plants. I don't know if they're actually in pain, but I agree with Demedais," Alicia states, tucking in her wings and hunching in a bit to avoid touching any as she hurries past.
[21:03] <Anastasia> Pollyanna, Amaryl and then Donald hurry through as well!
06[21:04] * Demedais drops the vines back and leads the group farther in, keeping an ear out for the stillness that came before the attack last time and an eye out for anything bizarre.
[21:04] <Anastasia> Once the vine is dropped, the sound stops...
[21:04] <Anastasia> roll 1d100
06[21:04] * Hatbot --> "Anastasia rolls 1d100 and gets 13." [1d100=13]
[21:04] <Anastasia> Nothing seems to be immediately happening after. Demedais doesn't hear anything awry now that the screaming is done.
[21:05] <Anastasia> Donald wipes his brow again, taking a waterskin out and drinking. "That was unique. Let's come back and mess with them after we're done?"
[21:06] <Alicia> "Why would you want to?" Alicia asks, grimacing. "That noise was abominable."
[21:06] <Anastasia> "The vines are screaming. That's far more interesting than normal vines." Putting his waterskin back away, "Noisy, though."
[21:06] <Demedais> "If you want, we can do something with them on our return, I suppose. Might make a useful tool for early detection or something if you could re-plant it." Demedais shrugs.
01[21:07] <Seira> "To summon something to fight would be my bet," Seira comments. "If you get bitten by a huge lizard after summoning it so stupidly, I'm not bailing you out."
[21:08] <Anastasia> "Let's bicker later," Pollyanna looks ahead, "Let's go BEFORE something is drawn by those vines?"
[21:08] <Alicia> "Keep moving, yes," Alicia agrees, hurrying along and keeping a wary eye out for trouble.
[21:08] <Anastasia> roll 1d100
06[21:08] * Hatbot --> "Anastasia rolls 1d100 and gets 17." [1d100=17]
[21:08] <Demedais> "On a completely irrelevant tangent..." Demedais muses as he leads the group forward again, "Morund of the Crimson Guard had a question for you two, Alicia and Seira, regarding... well, stuff like Alter Self, from what I can tell. Perhaps drop in when we get back?"
01[21:09] <Seira> "Ah, sure, I guess," Seira responds with a shrug. "Why didn't he stop by? I'm not exactly a hermit."
[21:10] <Alicia> "Hmm? Can he cast arcane magic?" Alicia asks, looking over at Demedais as they walk. "He mentioned he was the more magically skilled of the three, but I assumed he favoured divine magic..."
[21:11] <Demedais> "I don't think so. It's a bit of a weird situation, if I understand it right - he wasn't forthcoming, himself."
[21:11] <Anastasia> As the party advances along, the way is quiet for a time. AFter another hour of walking, you begin to notice a downwards slope to the jungle, subtle, but noticable.
[21:12] <Demedais> roll 1d20+31
06[21:12] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+31 and gets 39." [1d20=8]
[21:12] <Alicia> "Well, I could have a chat with him," Alicia agrees. "I've had to modify the spell myself since Mystra changed me so, but it still works well enough."
[21:13] <Demedais> "Thanks." Demedais nods.
01[21:13] <Seira> "I know plenty of ways for cheating with magic and making clerical magic work for someone like me, so the opposite could be researched as well," Seira offers for her part.
[21:14] <Demedais> "Aaand hold it right here." Demedais suddenly switches to a murmur, looking ahead. "Any of you skilled in reading tracks?"
06[21:15] * Alicia shakes her head. She'd say that Antenora is great at it, but it's really not helpful since she's not here.
06[21:15] * Seira glances at Amaryl hopefully.
[21:17] <Anastasia> Amarly shakes her head, "No, I wasn't ever very good at following things." she blushes and looks away.
[21:18] <Demedais> "Alright..." Demedais says, glancing at the tracks ahead and pointing them out. "I... don't think they're fresh, but that's because I think I would have heard them being made. Still might be recent. Let's keep our guard up."
06[21:19] * Alicia nods silently, making an effort to keep quiet as she continues onwards.
[21:19] <Anastasia> Looking ahead, the party can see them. Oh yes. The thing is, they're huge. As in, HUGE. Whatever made this isn't tiny. It's less an imprint and more a hole in the ground. As you get closer, you see another one ahead, and another and another.
01[21:20] <Seira> "Should be easy enough to follow, at least. If we actually want to. Do we?"
[21:20] <Anastasia> "At least it doesn't have tentacles?" Pollyanna asks, the question hanging in the air, "Right?"
06[21:20] * Seira facepalms. "You just jinxed us and I hate you," she deadpans.
[21:21] <Demedais> "As I said, I think I would have heard them." Demedais says, a slight bit of amusement. "Doubtful, dear - most things here likely don't."
06[21:21] * Alicia wonders exactly why Demedais thought any skill would be needed to follow these... "Well, we're still in the wild magic area, and it's a downward slope so more likely than note we're on the right track," Alicia muses, before shooting Pollyanna a funny look. "Really, we've had enough tentacles for this month I think."
[21:21] <Anastasia> "If they're going in the way we're going, we should follow them," Donald calls from the rear, "We might stumble on whatever it is and get the jump on it."
[21:24] <Demedais> "...or at least see what it is so we have advance forewarning..." Demedais muses... "That may, sadly, be optimal - especially since it might be using the gnomish outpost as some sort of resting area?"
[21:24] <Anastasia> "They've been far too prevalent." Pollyanna agrees, "They make me think of slimy octupuses and it makes my flesh crawl. Let alone when I think of those krakens of the desert horror.:"
01[21:24] <Seira> "I should return and stomp on those upstarts," Seira muses. "Mmm, yes."
06[21:25] * Demedais mutters something about non-dimensional monsters with faces like desert horrors, but then shakes his head. "If there's no better ideas, let's get going.
[21:27] <Anastasia> Thus the party advances on! Another hour of walking follows the tracks, which seem to be getting fresher. At last, you notice the jungle ahead has light peering through it? It's about 200 feet away from here, but it's a sharp contrast to everything else. The tracks continue that way, too.
06[21:28] * Alicia hopes they don't find an end to the wild magic past the bright area, since that means they must have went right past the ruins themselves. Still, only one way to find out.
[21:28] <Demedais> "Well, we seem to be going the right way is my guess. As is whatever was making these tracks." Demedais curses, peering as far ahead as he can before using the spear to look for chaos and evil. "
[21:30] <Anastasia> "Let's just keep going and keep our eyes sharp?" Donald calls, "If it's just a big lizard, we'll whip it anyway."
[21:31] <Alicia> Well, it'll certainly know to expect them if he keeps yelling like that...
[21:31] <Demedais> "Let's hope so, yes." Demedais grins a bit, shrugging as the group moves on.
[21:32] <Anastasia> As you reach about 120 feet away from the light, the ground starts to shake. Like a low grade, casual earthquake is breaking out. Constant THUMPS shaking the ground.
[21:32] <Demedais> roll 1d20+31 ah, hell. Spot.
06[21:32] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+31 ah, hell. Spot. and gets 38." [1d20=7]
06[21:33] * Alicia immediately flaps her wings and takes off, flying up twenty feet amidst the foliage and drawing her sword. "Looks like it heard us coming," she comments.
[21:33] <Demedais> roll 1d20+26
06[21:33] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+26 and gets 40." [1d20=14]
01[21:33] <Seira> Sword-drawing is the order of the hour!
06[21:35] * Demedais grunts. "Several huge... whatevers, around one smaller something." Demedais grimaces, switching spear for sword. "One of them is approaching, I think."
[21:35] <Anastasia> Arrows are readied by both rangers, as Donald trots a bit forward. "Oh yeah," he says, "Then let's deal with it?"
[21:35] <Demedais> "In other words, there's more than one, and they're likely to come and aid... Are they perhaps protecting a nest?"
01[21:36] <Seira> If calling upon Stoneskin will make bad things happen to her, Seira wishes to know in advance, activating it as she flies ten few feet up!
[21:36] <Alicia> "It sounds like it," Alicia agrees, "Maybe we should back off a bit after all?" She flies up another ten feet to be on the safe side.
[21:36] <Anastasia> As Demedais speaks, the light ahead is broken! The thumping grows louder! 120 feet away, five of them break forth! A massive line of huge lizards! Each is absolutely huge, with pulsing yellow veins showing beneath slightly transparent skin. They have gigantic maws with teeth the size of fullblades! They have tiny little forearms, hanging uselessly from their body! With a roar, they charge ahead!
[21:37] <Anastasia> OOC: Make c aster level cehck, Seira, then let's do init.
06[21:37] * Demedais nods slightly, about to motion the group back before he sees the group approach. "Ah, hell. We don't have a choice here, I guess?"
01[21:37] <Seira> roll 1d20+15
06[21:37] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+15 and gets 32." [1d20=17]
[21:37] <Anastasia> OOC: Is that the boot's CL?
01[21:37] <Seira> OOC: Correct
[21:37] <Anastasia> OOC: Spell goes normally. Let's do init here.
[21:37] <Anastasia> "They're..." Amaryl shivers, "HUGE!"

06[21:41] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+22 and gets 31." [1d20=9]
[21:42] <Anastasia> "Heeere we go," Donald stretches and cracks his neck, sword out, "Fall back to me if you need protection!"
01[21:43] <Seira> "Shoot on the run!" Seira cautions the archers. "Their blood itself is dangerous, and the bite poisonous, as if the rest wasn't enough!"
[21:44] <Alicia> "I can hold them back, but if anyone wants to get a shot in first..." Alicia calls, preparing to cast a spell...
[21:44] <Alicia> OOC: delaying
[21:44] <Anastasia> OOC: Seira's up.
01[21:45] <Seira> "Oh, okay then!" Seira exclaims happily, trying to summon a cloud of horrible death all over the enormous lizards!
01[21:45] <Seira> roll 1d20+16 CL
06[21:45] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+16 CL and gets 26." [1d20=10]
[21:45] <Anastasia> OOC: Resolves as normal.
01[21:46] <Seira> OOC: DC is 25

06[21:47] * Hatbot --> "Anastasia rolls 1d20+16 and gets 19." [1d20=3]
[21:47] <Anastasia> A cloud of gas erupts out around the charging lizards! If it has much obvious effect, they don't seem to show it, sickened but still charging! Pollyanna falls thirty feet back, snapping off an arrow as she does!
[21:47] <Anastasia> roll 1d20+18
06[21:47] * Hatbot --> "Anastasia rolls 1d20+18 and gets 27." [1d20=9]
[21:48] <Anastasia> roll 1d8+12+1d6
06[21:48] * Hatbot --> "Anastasia rolls 1d8+12+1d6 and gets 19." [1d8=1][1d6=6]
[21:49] <Anastasia> OOC: +2, she has +20 to range categories thanks to ranged weapon mastery. Irrelevant here, though.
[21:49] <Anastasia> Donald prepares, protective energies wrapping out around him! OOC: Donald activates protection devotion. Are you going, Alicia?
[21:49] <Alicia> OOC: how far is the nearest edge of the cloudkill?
[21:50] <Anastasia> OOC: About 120 feet away. You guys have a lot of room to play with here.
[21:52] <Alicia> Since her own spell has far less range than Seira's, Alicia has to fly another fifty five feet closer and five feet up for safety before she casts.
[21:52] <Alicia> "Invincible barrier of my will, block all who would pass!" she calls, gesturing at the leading edge of the vapours and erecting a 20 foot tall and 80 foot long barrier of invisible force right on the edge to block any lizards trying to charge through the cloud and at the juicy morsels behind her!
[21:52] <Alicia> roll 1d20+16 inevitable CL
06[21:52] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+16 inevitable CL and gets 34." [1d20=18]
[21:53] <Anastasia> The wall of force springs into life, shimmering faintly at Alicia's command! A split second later, the first two lizards charge and smack right against it! The third lizard does the same! OOC: Demedais.
06[21:54] * Demedais pauses, watching the actions of the lizards for a moment... OOC: Holding, will go after the final lizard.
[21:55] <Anastasia> Amaryl falls back as well! The last two lizards repeat it, slamming into the wall uselessly!
03[21:55] * Anastasia changes topic to 'Seira(23)>Pollyanna(22)>Donald(18)>Alicia(17)>Lizard 2=Lizard 4(16)>Lizard 3=Demedais(15)>Amaryl(14)>Lizard 5(8)>Lizard 1(4)'
[21:55] <Anastasia> OOC: Deme.
[21:58] <Anastasia> Amaryl also takes a shot as she flals back!
[21:58] <Alicia> "The wall's twenty feet high, aim for their heads," Alicia tells the archers, not caring that the lizards can hear. They can't understand, after all.
[21:58] <Anastasia> roll 1d20+13
06[21:58] * Hatbot --> "Anastasia rolls 1d20+13 and gets 24." [1d20=11]
[21:58] <Anastasia> roll 1d8+1
06[21:58] * Hatbot --> "Anastasia rolls 1d8+1 and gets 5." [1d8=4]
[21:59] <Anastasia> An arrow grazes one, scraping across it's head! OOC: Deme, holding or acting?
06[21:59] * Demedais seems about to do something, arm raised, but then glances to Alicia somewhat sheepishly. "Right, wall of force. Can't act past it. Always forget that detail." With that, he sheathes his sword and draws his bow!
03[21:59] * Anastasia changes topic to 'Seira(23)>Pollyanna(22)>Donald(18)>Alicia(17)>Lizard 2=Lizard 4(16)>Lizard 3>Amaryl(14)>Lizard 5(8)>Lizard 1(4)Demedais(3)'

01[22:01] <Seira> OOC: DC still 25
[22:01] <Anastasia> As this happens, the cloudkill continues to rack the lizards!OOC: Seira.
01[22:02] <Seira> Unsatisfied with how slow this is taking, Seira decides to try and burn the huge lizards, using an old-fashioned fireball!
01[22:02] <Seira> roll 1d20+17
06[22:02] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+17 and gets 35." [1d20=18]

06[22:03] * Hatbot --> "Anastasia rolls 1d20+12 and gets 15." [1d20=3]
[22:04] <Anastasia> The fireball bursts around the head of the lizards, charring them like coals in a fire! They roar in anger, a bit burnt, but not down yet! Polly stays at this safe distance, firing away en masse for now!
[22:04] <Anastasia> roll 1d20+16
[22:04] <Anastasia> roll 1d20+11

06[22:04] * Hatbot --> "Anastasia rolls 1d20+6 and gets 16." [1d20=10]
01[22:05] <Seira> "Focus on the hardest hit so far!" Seira calls to Amaryl and Pollyanna.
[22:05] <Anastasia> But the arrows whizz by, clattering off hard skin! OOC: Donald.
[22:06] <Anastasia> Donald holds for the moment! OOC: ????es are up.
[22:07] <Anastasia> A sixth T-Rex charges ahead, coming from the light and running into the same barrier and cloud! But above? Another one comes, this one flying at 50 feet! It soars ahead, coming within 30 feet of Alicia! It looks like the other but with green scales all over it's body, bigger teeth, and scaled wings propelling it in the air! With a roar, a gush of gas and acid is belched at Alicia! OOC: Ref, Alicia.
03[22:07] * Anastasia changes topic to 'Seira(23)>Pollyanna(22)>Donald(18)=Lizard 6=Winged Lizard>Alicia(17)>Lizard 2=Lizard 4(16)>Lizard 3>Amaryl(14)>Lizard 5(8)>Lizard 1(4)Demedais(3)'

06[22:08] * Hatbot --> "Anastasia rolls 6d8 halve this and gets 23." [6d8=6, 4, 5, 5, 2, 1]
[22:09] <Anastasia> The acid cloud rips by Alicia, singing her skin and the smell making her stomach complain! Nonetheless, her fast reflexes just lets her avoid acid to the face! OOC: Alicia.
[22:14] <Alicia> "Oh, you are kidding me!" Alicia complains, flapping her wings furiously and coughing as she sheds the acid quickly. "Alright, you want to play? Lets play," she glowers at the terrible dragon-thing, surging forward and spiralling underneath the airborne lizard and flying above the ones on the ground before she stops and turns back to face the acid-spewing monstrosity.
[22:14] <Alicia> "Mystra's grace, protect me from all attackers!" she incants, sweeping her arm before her and summoning another wall of force to pen in the ones on the ground and present a nasty bump for the flying one if it comes after her, which will hopefully result in it crashing atop its brethren and getting a lungful of poison.
[22:14] <Alicia> This wall is forty feet wide and forty feet high, Alicia herself hovering at thirty five feet.
[22:14] <Alicia> roll 1d20+16 CL
06[22:14] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+16 CL and gets 34." [1d20=18]
[22:16] <Anastasia> OOC: Where exactly is the wall in relation to the first one?
[22:17] <Alicia> OOC: it's effectively sandwiching the lizards on the ground, but it doesn't extend as far to the sides but does extend higher in the air
[22:17] <Anastasia> At that, another wall of force springs into being! The second lizard...
[22:17] <Anastasia> roll 1d3
06[22:17] * Hatbot --> "Anastasia rolls 1d3 and gets 2." [1d3=2]
[22:18] <Anastasia> It staggers out of the cloud and to the right, working around the wall! The fourth lizard...
[22:18] <Anastasia> roll 1d3
06[22:18] * Hatbot --> "Anastasia rolls 1d3 and gets 2." [1d3=2]
[22:18] <Anastasia> Follows the second lizard as well! The third lizard...
[22:18] <Anastasia> roll 1d3
06[22:18] * Hatbot --> "Anastasia rolls 1d3 and gets 3." [1d3=3]
[22:18] <Anastasia> Runs straight back into Alicia's wall, bouncing off of it uselessly! OOC: Amaryl.
[22:19] <Anastasia> Amaryl stays where she is, "Those things are terrifying. Don't let them get close," she calls, firing off arrows from far away at the first one!
[22:19] <Anastasia> roll 1d20+11
[22:19] <Anastasia> roll 1d20+11

06[22:19] * Hatbot --> "Anastasia rolls 2d8+2 and gets 13." [2d8=4, 7]
[22:20] <Anastasia> More arrows are shot and fired, stubbing intot he arms and chest of the T-Rex, already wounded by several of them! It's still only lightly injured, despite fire and gas and arrow! The fifth lizard...
[22:20] <Anastasia> roll 1d3
06[22:20] * Hatbot --> "Anastasia rolls 1d3 and gets 2." [1d3=2]
[22:20] <Anastasia> Follows the other two as well! The first lizard...
[22:20] <Anastasia> roll 1d3
06[22:20] * Hatbot --> "Anastasia rolls 1d3 and gets 1." [1d3=1]
[22:21] <Anastasia> Roars around, going to snap at Alicia! But it gets a mouthful of wall instead of a tasty angel treat! OOC: Deme.
[22:22] <Demedais> "Oh no you don't." Demedais growls, gesturing ahead to summon a wall of boiling water to cut off the route of escape three of the dinosaurs have started using!
[22:22] <Demedais> roll 1d20+17 cl check
06[22:22] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+17 cl check and gets 19." [1d20=2]

[22:23] <Demedais> roll 1d100

[22:23] <Anastasia> roll 1d4
06[22:23] * Hatbot --> "Anastasia rolls 1d4 and gets 4." [1d4=4]
[22:24] <Anastasia> No wall of water appears! Instead, Demedais floats up! He levitates 20 feet straight up into the air, bobbing up and down like an apple on the surface of the water! OOC: More.
[22:24] <Anastasia> roll 1d20+2
06[22:24] * Hatbot --> "Anastasia rolls 1d20+2 and gets 3." [1d20=1]

[22:24] <Anastasia> OOC: Seira.
01[22:24] <Seira> Well, then. Slowly but surely the big, stupid lizards are getting exterminated!

06[22:24] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d4 and gets 3." [1d4=3]
[22:25] <Anastasia> OOC: Go ahead and also resolve your turn while I'm BRB.
[22:25] <Demedais> "That... didn't work as anticipated."

01[22:31] <Seira> OOC: Cloud
01[22:31] <Seira> OOC: Wait
[22:31] <Anastasia> "Demedais, what are you DOING?!" Pollyanna calls in utter dismay, "This sin't the time to flying!"
01[22:32] <Seira> OOC: Four? The larger
[22:32] <Anastasia> OOC: Okay.

[22:32] <Anastasia> OOC: Oh wait, arleady said. Dur.
[22:33] <Demedais> "Blame the wild magic - normally I can't fly!" Demedais grimaces.
[22:34] <Anastasia> The fireball streaks out, slamming and bursting around the escaping T-Rexes! Pollyanna groans aloud, before firing more at the wounded, weakening first one!

06[22:34] * Hatbot --> "Anastasia rolls 1d20+6 and gets 18." [1d20=12]
[22:35] <Anastasia> But all of her arrows whizz by harmlessly! Donald continues to hold, unable to easily fight at this range! The sixth lizard, hacking on the fumes...
[22:35] <Anastasia> roll 1d3
06[22:35] * Hatbot --> "Anastasia rolls 1d3 and gets 3." [1d3=3]
[22:36] <Anastasia> It runs straight into Alicia's wall as well, doing little of note!
[22:37] <Anastasia> The winged lizard roars and turns away from Alicia, flying over and manuvering closer to the ground, only ten feet above it and 30 ahead now! OOC: Alicia.
[22:40] <Alicia> Oh, that bastard. No longer interested in eating her after she went to all that trouble? Alicia is furious! She's not really in position to do too much right now, though, so she settles for flying above her walls, climbing up to fifty feet above the ground and then forty feet towards the creature which was probably too clumsy a flier to even turn around anyway.
[22:41] <Anastasia> As Alicia manuvers, two of the escapees run out and past the wall, free now! They hurry ahead, stomping the ground hard! The second and fourth electric T-Rex come to within 40 feet of Demedais on point! The third lizard also follows, doing the same! OOC: Amaryl.
[22:42] <Anastasia> "T-They're coming!" Amaryl calls, "Seira, what should we do?!"
[22:42] <Demedais> "Stay calm." Demedais requests. "I'll try the wall of boiling water again. It might be enough to scare them off."
[22:42] <Anastasia> "Kill them, for Helm's sake! Or fall back, whichever!" Pollyanna snaps. "Can do you anything from there, Deme?"
01[22:42] <Seira> "Shoot and retreat!" Seira calls over to Amaryl. "I'll be right there!"
[22:43] <Anastasia> "Right!" Amaryl says to both of them! She hurries back another thirty feet, snapping off one arrow at the second that becomes two!
[22:44] <Anastasia> OOC: Strike.
[22:44] <Anastasia> "Right!" Amaryl says to both of them! She hurries back another thirty feet, snapping off a pair of arrows that become four as she does!
[22:44] <Anastasia> roll 1d20+11
[22:44] <Anastasia> roll 1d20+11
[22:44] <Anastasia> roll 1d20+11
[22:44] <Anastasia> roll 1d20+11
06[22:44] * Hatbot --> "Anastasia rolls 1d20+11 and gets 14." [1d20=3]
06[22:44] * Hatbot --> "Anastasia rolls 1d20+11 and gets 30." [1d20=19]
06[22:44] * Hatbot --> "Anastasia rolls 1d20+11 and gets 18." [1d20=7]
06[22:44] * Hatbot --> "Anastasia rolls 1d20+11 and gets 26." [1d20=15]
[22:44] <Anastasia> roll 2d8+2
06[22:44] * Hatbot --> "Anastasia rolls 2d8+2 and gets 9." [2d8=6, 1]
[22:45] <Anastasia> More arrows thud into the dinosaur, only seeming to make it a little bloodied and a lot angrier! The fifth lizard follows them as well! The first lizard, meanwhile...
[22:45] <Anastasia> roll 1d2
06[22:45] * Hatbot --> "Anastasia rolls 1d2 and gets 1." [1d2=1]
[22:45] <Anastasia> Goes to the opposite side, fleeing longways and out of the cloud! OOC: Deme, you're up. So's ????.
03[22:45] * Anastasia changes topic to 'Seira(23)>Pollyanna(22)>Donald(18)=Lizard 6=Winged Lizard>Alicia(17)>Lizard 2=Lizard 4(16)>Lizard 3>Amaryl(14)>Lizard 5(8)>Lizard 1(4)Demedais(3)=Lizard 7'
[22:46] <Anastasia> From the light, a seventh ground T-Rex comes out, hurrying ahead...adn slamming right into the back of Alicia's second wall of force!
06[22:46] * Demedais grimaces, calling upon the wall of water again as well as his own protection devotion! "If they charge out, prepare to fire upon them!" Demedais calls out as he does this!
[22:47] <Demedais> roll 1d20+17 cl check mark 2
06[22:47] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+17 cl check mark 2 and gets 37." [1d20=20]
[22:47] <Anastasia> OOC: Where exactly is you rwall going?
[22:48] <Demedais> OOC: Pretty much thirty feet in front of me (and thus 10 feet in front of the dino), going from wherever it'd hit the wall of force on one end and extending out 140 feet from there.
[22:49] <Anastasia> OOC: Is it going - or | relative to you, basically?
[22:49] <Demedais> OOC: -, I guess? Dino | Deme, where | is wall.
[22:50] <Anastasia> OOC: It wouldn't meet the wall of force then, sicne the wall of force is ahead and that would run horizontal, when it needs to run vertical. It would put a honking big wall of hotw ater between you and the rexes, though.
[22:51] <Demedais> OOC: Sure, that works. I was thinking more at an angle, but that works too.
[22:52] <Anastasia> A wall of boiling water springs up in front of the lizards, a defensive barrier partitioning the battlefield! OOC: Roll your 2d4 for heat damage on them, then Seira's up.
[22:52] <Demedais> roll 2d4 I also have my move action!
06[22:52] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 2d4 I also have my move action! and gets 5." [2d4=4, 1]
[22:52] <Anastasia> OOC: Going to try to move then? Try by all mean.s
06[22:53] * Demedais tries levitating back five or so feet, to give himself a bit more breathing room.
[22:53] <Anastasia> But nothing happens! Demedais seems stuck right in place, unable to move his levitating body at all! OOC: SEira.
01[22:54] <Seira> roll 1d4
06[22:54] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d4 and gets 1." [1d4=1]
[22:54] <Demedais> "Oh. Well, that figures."
[22:54] <Anastasia> roll 1d20+15
06[22:54] * Hatbot --> "Anastasia rolls 1d20+15 and gets 26." [1d20=11]

06[22:54] * Hatbot --> "Anastasia rolls 1d20+15 and gets 19." [1d20=4]
[22:54] <Anastasia> "Dammit! Find some way to get down here instead of being a sitting duck up there!" Donald calls, "Or I'll have to kick all their asses by myself!"
[22:54] <Anastasia> roll 1d20+16
06[22:54] * Hatbot --> "Anastasia rolls 1d20+16 and gets 29." [1d20=13]
[22:56] <Anastasia> roll 1d20+16
06[22:56] * Hatbot --> "Anastasia rolls 1d20+16 and gets 32." [1d20=16]
06[22:57] * Seira only needs to get high enough, and once she's twenty five feet above the ground, she tries to let loose with the strongest fire spell in her possession!
01[22:57] <Seira> roll 1d20+17
[22:57] <Demedais> "Yeah, see, I would if I could, you know, move!"
06[22:57] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+17 and gets 33." [1d20=16]
01[22:57] <Seira> roll 18d6
06[22:57] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 18d6 and gets 72." [18d6=1, 5, 6, 2, 4, 3, 4, 6, 5, 6, 2, 6, 2, 4, 4, 1, 5, 6]
01[22:57] <Seira> OOC: DC 26

06[22:58] * Hatbot --> "Anastasia rolls 1d20+12 and gets 20." [1d20=8]
[22:59] <Anastasia> The massive cone of fire scorched all of the lizards, dealing grevious damage to them at a downward roasting angle! They're still up, but burn and heat scarred badly! OOC: Polly.
[22:59] <Anastasia> Pollyanna aims at the second, firing off a flurry of arrows, "Dammit, just go down!" she calls!
[22:59] <Anastasia> roll 1d20+18
[22:59] <Anastasia> roll 1d20+18
[22:59] <Anastasia> roll 1d20+13
06[22:59] * Hatbot --> "Anastasia rolls 1d20+18 and gets 31." [1d20=13]

06[22:59] * Hatbot --> "Anastasia rolls 1d20+8 and gets 18." [1d20=10]
[22:59] <Anastasia> roll 2d8+24+26
06[22:59] * Hatbot --> "Anastasia rolls 2d8+24+26 and gets 62." [2d8=7, 5]
[22:59] <Anastasia> OOC: Er.
[22:59] <Anastasia> roll 2d8+24+2d6
06[22:59] * Hatbot --> "Anastasia rolls 2d8+24+2d6 and gets 38." [2d8=7, 1][2d6=1, 5]
03[22:59] * Anastasia changes topic to 'Seira(23)>Pollyanna(22)>Donald(18)=Lizard 6=Winged Lizard>Alicia(17)>Lizard 4(16)>Lizard 3>Amaryl(14)>Lizard 5(8)>Lizard 1(4)Demedais(3)=Lizard 7'
[23:00] <Anastasia> With a titantic THUMP, the second lizard goes down hard! Meanwhile, Donald advances up, stepping in front of Amaryl and Pollyanna! "If any of them come," he says to them, "Don't worry, I'll stop them!" OOC: Lizard 6 is up.
[23:00] <Anastasia> roll 1d2
01[23:00] <Seira> "That's the spirit!" Seira calls down. "Amaryl, bring another one down! I won't let any past me! Oh, and Donald is there too!"
06[23:00] * Hatbot --> "Anastasia rolls 1d2 and gets 2." [1d2=2]
[23:01] <Anastasia> The sixth lizard breaks to the side, running away from the party and into the forest in a hurry! The winged lizard roars once more, before doing the same! It's eyes lay on Seira, "Dra...gon..." It hisses in draconic, as it retreats! OOC: Alicia.
01[23:02] <Seira> "And stay away!" Seira roars after it.
06[23:02] * Alicia has no interest in pursuing them, instead flying over to join the others. "I thought they'd never give up... hopefully won't return in a hurry after that," she states, assuming the others will break as well now that the rout has started.
[23:03] <Anastasia> The fourth and third mimic this, the pack of T-Rexes retreating away! Amaryl trots closer as they all do, "That was so close!" The ground thumps lighter and lighter as they flee!
[23:03] <Anastasia> OOC: If none of you are interested in potshotting, we can just end the combat here since they seem in full retreat. IS that okay, or do any of you wanna go fight them more?
[23:03] <Alicia> OOC: not me
06[23:04] * Seira watches the lizards flee, glaring at them in what is hopefully an intimidating fashion!
06[23:04] * Demedais nods slightly, before attempting to move somehow!
[23:04] <Anastasia> Demedais tries to move, but nothing happens at all!
06[23:04] * Alicia heals herself now that combat is over, flying over to Demedais and offering a hand. "May I?" she offers impishly.
[23:04] <Anastasia> "Now then..." Pollyanna sighs in deep relief, rubbing her foread, "Demedais, can you come down?"
06[23:06] * Demedais grimaces. "I do seem to somehow be stuck in the air." Demedais grimaces. "Quite literally." Putting the bow back, he accepts Alicia's hand.
06[23:06] * Alicia attempts to pull Demedais down with her as she gently slows her flapping and descends to the ground.
[23:07] <Anastasia> Demedais seems stuck in the air! Despite pulling and prodding, he's not moving down to Alicia's efforts at all!
01[23:07] <Seira> "How about we wait a few minutes?" Seira suggests.
[23:07] <Anastasia> Amaryl giggles, nerves dissipating as she smiles, "S-sorry," she blushes, "It's just kind of funny in a strange way. All of thatn...and then you're stuck in the air."
[23:07] <Anastasia> "It's not funny!" Pollyanna turns to send a withering glare at Amaryl.
[23:08] <Demedais> "..." Demedais grimaces. "Since dispels here are risky, yes. And dear? At least I didn't fall -down-."
06[23:08] * Seira raises a hand. "Sorry. It so is."
[23:08] <Anastasia> "I'll second Amaryl." Crossing his arms, "You sure got stuck up. Gee, isn't that surprising."
[23:08] <Anastasia> "A small mercy." Pollyanna rubs her temple again, "Will it wear off with time? Any of you mages know?"
01[23:08] <Seira> "Of course it will."
[23:09] <Alicia> "Er..." Alicia jerks as Demedais remains immobile, her hand slipping loose and forcing her to spin away a little before she lands. "Waiting a moment might be best," she agrees, passing time by dispelling her own walls of force.
06[23:09] * Seira then considers. "Does this count as you falling so hard you fall skywards?"
[23:09] <Anastasia> Donald's snickering becomes full out laughter, "You're falling so hard that you defy gravity?"
06[23:10] * Seira flies circles around Demedais lazily.
[23:10] <Anastasia> "Will the three of you shut up!" Pollyanna's face is red, stamping her foot as hard as she can on the ground. "Enough already!"
[23:11] <Alicia> "At least there's no actual harm done?" Alicia consoles Pollyanna. "Hopefully he won't be up there too long..."
[23:11] <Anastasia> After a few minutes of waiting, Demedais descends down to the ground without incident.
01[23:11] <Seira> "See?" Seira asks, touching down next to him. "Harmless!"
[23:11] <Anastasia> "Thanks," Pollyanna murmurs. Once he's done, "Thank Helm. It would have been worse if those lizards got to us. Still, let's advance on before they want a second round?"
[23:12] <Demedais> "Annoying, but yes." Demedais smiles to Pollyanna at this. "And yes, let's. I was hoping they'd go for me up there - on eye level and all. Still, let's go."
01[23:12] <Seira> "Are you kidding?" Seira asks in surprise. "Unless they lick their wounds and recover spontaneously, another fireball will bring them all down."
[23:12] <Alicia> "Surely they wouldn't be so suicidal after the thrashing they just got," Alicia opines hopefully, glancing over at the corpse before continuing onwards to the light ahead.
[23:14] <Anastasia> Ahead the foliage thins out! Sunlight comes into the jungle! Ahead is a gently sloping gully, vast and wide! It goes down for about fifty feet, soft vegetation of all colors around it's bottom. But it's not a vast bottom but instead a lake! Dark blue waters stretch vastly wide, bubbles occasionally popping to the surface, full of color! About, several holes are dug into the side above the lake. Half eaten animals are about as well.
[23:14] <Anastasia> Half eaten animals are about as well.
[23:16] <Alicia> "I hope the ruins we're looking for aren't submerged," Alicia remarks, walking over to the lake and observing it for a moment before her eyes widen at the coloured bubbles, peering closer to try and see their source.
01[23:17] <Seira> "If they are, at least I can get us to breathe normally down there," Seira comments, although she doesn't look happy at the prospect. Instead, she decides to search for anything looking like a gnome-made entrance.
[23:17] <Anastasia> The lake is quite large, the other side difficult to see, so far away. You can see maybe about 20 feet into the water in your own vision, darkvision allowing Alicia to see the rest. It goes down more than sixty feet, the bubbles rising up from below, farther than Alicia can see. OOC: Make a spot check, 'licia.
[23:17] <Anastasia> OOC: Search, SEira?
03[23:17] * Taishyr (~ferixstad@adsl-76-235-195-243.dsl.klmzmi.sbcglobal.net) has joined #dunes
03[23:17] * ChanServ sets mode: +o Taishyr
[23:18] <Anastasia> Pollyanna keeps an eye out, as does Amaryl. Donald meanwhile goes to the water, "It's not safe to drink, right?"
01[23:18] <Seira> OOC: I'll take 10 for 35
[23:18] <Taishyr> "Likely not." Demedais shakes his head.
[23:18] <Alicia> roll 1d20+8
06[23:18] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+8 and gets 28." [1d20=20]
06[23:18] * Taishyr then advances a bit and peers down into the lake in an attempt to discern anything. "Lagann sense anything deep down?"
06[23:19] * Seira indeed asks Lagann!
[23:19] <Anastasia> Seira spends some time searching about. She finds the various digs and caves into the side occasionally have broken eggs and shells. On the far side is a dug out hole, quite large and easy for Seira to find. In it are various bright colored stones and bits of metal.
[23:19] <Anastasia> OOC: How far does Lagann sense? Also, spot, Deme.
[23:20] <Taishyr> roll 1d20+31
06[23:20] * Hatbot --> "Taishyr rolls 1d20+31 and gets 41." [1d20=10]
01[23:20] <Seira> OOC: Detect Metal is 60ft
[23:21] <Alicia> "Some sort of really big fish in there," Alicia remarks, backing off and going to join Seira looking over the caves.
02[23:21] * Demedais (~ferixstad@adsl-76-235-202-237.dsl.klmzmi.sbcglobal.net) Quit (Ping timeout)
01[23:21] <Seira> OOC: Appraise on that stuff, 10 for 25?
03[23:21] * Taishyr is now known as Demedais
01[23:21] <Seira> OOC: 27, sorry
01[23:22] <Seira> "An upstart dragon was here," Seira comments, claiming the spoils.
[23:24] <Anastasia> "Was it that flying lizard?" Amaryl murmurs, "Maybe it tried to emulate that, even if it couldn't do it very well?"
01[23:24] <Seira> "Maybe," Seira agrees. "It should try harder next time."
[23:25] <Anastasia> "Now what?" Donald asks, "Are we going to try going into that lake or what?"
[23:26] <Alicia> "Well, this seems to be the lowest point in the vicinity, so the lake is probably our best bet," Alicia muses. "Unless any of these caves lead further underground themselves..."
01[23:26] <Seira> "What if you tried making a hole with spellfire?" Seira asks Alicia. "To drain the water into the upper level of the ruins which might be below? Or divert it all elsewhere with a slope?"
[23:26] <Demedais> "Looks mostly like electric eels..." Demedais muses. "That might be best, yeah."
01[23:27] <Seira> "I could always try and find a way in, or we could attempt a blind teleport below."
[23:27] <Anastasia> Polly stiffens, "Electric? Like shocker lizards?" Her eyes widen a little before she makes look of pure disgust.
[23:28] <Alicia> "I'd prefer to avoid something so destructive without cause. Besides which, I'm not certain how spellfire reacts to wild magic," Alicia shakes her head. "Why don't we try exploring the caves first and search the lake as a last resort?"
06[23:28] * Demedais nods. "Works."
01[23:29] <Seira> "I didn't see anything in them," Seira says, frowning. "I know Lagann would hate this plan, but I'll try heading below after wrapping him up carefully. If anything bad happens, I'll tell Amaryl and you guys get to save me from horrible lake monsters. Works?"
[23:30] <Alicia> After a cursory examination of the caves is completed... "I'll come with you, Seira," Alicia volunteers. "I can ward us against lightning and I'm quite handy in the water."
[23:31] <Demedais> "Alright. I'll have Amaryl notify you two if the dinosaurs return while we're waiting." Demedais nods.
06[23:31] * Seira nods. "Then the only question is how long you can hold your breath. I'm not convinced I should call upon the spell of water breathing just for a quick search of the lake's bottom."
[23:33] <Alicia> "I can manage long enough for a quick dive," Alicia affirms, first warding herself. "Electricity, be grounded by my inviolate magic!"

06[23:33] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d100 and gets 34." [1d100=34]
[23:41] <Anastasia> Alicia wards herself...except not! Instead, a stream of butterflies escapes from her mouth, fying off into the air all around, a pretty rainbow spread!
[23:42] <Demedais> "...Yeah, see, it's not just me." Demedais smiles genially despite his words.
06[23:42] * Seira looks on appreciatively. "Pretty," she comments.
06[23:42] * Alicia stares wide eyed, her mouth open as the butterflies pour out before doubling over and coughing once they've all fled. "Ooohhh..." she wipes her mouth unhappily. "Bleah... did not need that."
[23:44] <Alicia> "Urgh... let me try again," Alicia sighs and repeats her spell.

[20:05] <Anastasia> <Demedais> "...Yeah, see, it's not just me." Demedais smiles genially despite his words.
[20:05] <Anastasia> * Seira looks on appreciatively. "Pretty," she comments.
[20:05] <Anastasia> * Alicia stares wide eyed, her mouth open as the butterflies pour out before doubling over and coughing once they've all fled. "Ooohhh..." she wipes her mouth unhappily. "Bleah... did not need that."
[20:05] <Anastasia> <Alicia> "Urgh... let me try again," Alicia sighs and repeats her spell.
[20:05] <Anastasia> <Alicia> roll 1d20+16 CL

[20:05] <Anastasia> * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d100 and gets 41." [1d100=41]
[20:05] <Anastasia> OOC: Besides all of your magical gear, what do you have on you, Alicia?
[20:07] <Alicia> OOC: As in non-magical clothes? Due to the climate I'd be wearing less than usual. A short blue tunic/dress and my underwear. Is much detail required regarding the latter?
[20:07] <Anastasia> OOC: No. I mean gear/items as well. Any backpack, or is that all in the hole?
[20:08] <Alicia> OOC: Oh, I'd have a flask of Evergold water on my belt, but pretty much everything else is in the hole
[20:09] <Anastasia> This time, nothing immediately seems to happen - but the little flask of water at Alicia's belt momentary pulses with blue and gold energies, whirling into it!
06[20:10] * Alicia pauses after her spellcasting gesture. "That didn't work either..." she looks down at the fragile clay flask of water from Sune's bath and unhooks it, pulling the stopper off to see what the strange magic here has done to it.
01[20:11] <Seira> "We'll get it right eventually, I suppose," Seira muses with a frown. "Want to take a break and I'll try the water breathing spell after all?"
[20:11] <Anastasia> The water seems to bristle and glow with powers unknown. It's quite pretty to look at. The insides of the jar look golden now as well, more like metal than clay.
06[20:11] * Demedais frowns. "Perhaps that's for the best for now?"
[20:12] <Anastasia> "It is rather dangerous to cast magic if you don't have to," Donald agrees, "I'm holding off unless I have to in battle."
01[20:12] <Seira> "Unless you need to go and help us out, and struggle to keep your breath at the same time," Seira points out.
[20:13] <Alicia> "Well... if it's been made more chaotic I can't complain. We won't know what happened till we run into a devil, anyway," Alicia shrugs and stoppers it for the moment, putting the flask away once more. "Anyway, I'm not so much worried about breathing underwater as I am about fish with electrical attacks. Still, I'm not so dense I can't take a hint, so further casting probably isn't wise."
06[20:13] * Seira snorts. "Alright! Lagann's as secured as he could be. Let's go for that swim?"
[20:14] <Alicia> "Just have to hope we don't look very appetising," Alicia nods to Seira, flying up to hover above the centre of the lake. "Quick dive to the bottom, look around then come back?"
06[20:15] * Demedais looks around carefully for any signs of the returning dinos before they go.
[20:15] <Anastasia> OOC: Feel free to make spot then, Deme.
06[20:15] * Seira nods, and dives into the water with a splash!
01[20:15] <Seira> OOC: After Deme's spot
06[20:16] * Alicia inverts herself and dives straight down, her ring of freedom of movement at least allowing her to scythe through the water almost as if it wasn't even there.
[20:16] <Demedais> roll 1d20+31
06[20:16] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+31 and gets 39." [1d20=8]
06[20:17] * Demedais shrugs. "Nothing right now."
[20:18] <Anastasia> As the two dive in, they find the water feels funny. It makes their skin tingle and crawl as they are submerged.
06[20:19] * Alicia doesn't intend to stay any longer than necessary, speeding quickly to the bottom so she can take a quick look around before leaving.
[20:19] <Anastasia> As they dive in, "Mmm." Polly stretches her back out, "They're being aggressive and taking the lead today," her eyes drift to Demedais at that.
01[20:19] <Seira> roll 1d20+22 why is my skin all tingly?
06[20:19] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+22 why is my skin all tingly? and gets 31." [1d20=9]
[20:19] <Alicia> roll 1d20+11 sure
06[20:19] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+11 sure and gets 19." [1d20=8]
[20:20] <Demedais> "Their talents are suited to this sort of investigation, as well as the encounters we've had." Demedais shrugs, looking back to Pollyanna.
06[20:21] * Seira proceeds towards the bottom, hoping Lagann would get a reading even if she doesn't spot any entrance on her own!
[20:21] <Anastasia> OOC: How fast do you two descend?
[20:22] <Alicia> OOC: either 80 feet or 120 feet per round depending on whether I use my land speed or fly speed (Freedom of Movement says I use my 'normal' speed for swimming)
01[20:22] <Seira> OOC: I'll go below for 8 rounds at most, if that doesn't get me to the bottom of the lake I'll go back up.
[20:24] <Anastasia> The two descend two rounds! There's no bottom in sight, the lake as vast as one imagines! Bubbles surge up from below around them, as seen before. Sixty feet below, you get a good glimpse of something descending down further. It is a revolting, fishlike creature, several eyes and tentacles. A thick cloud of mucus or slime clings to it's skin.
[20:24] <Alicia> OOC: knowledge to ID it?
[20:24] <Anastasia> OOC: Dungeoneering.
01[20:25] <Seira> roll 1d20+12
06[20:25] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+12 and gets 28." [1d20=16]
[20:26] <Anastasia> OOC: Cor, again, what's your speed of descending?
01[20:28] <Seira> OOC: I don't really know. I think a half of my speed per round? Which would make it 15ft?
[20:29] <Anastasia> OOC: Okay. Then disregard the info I PMed yo uon that check for now. Strike my line, I'll redo it.
[20:29] <Anastasia> Alicia cuts down deep, traveling fast to freedom of movement! In two rounds she's made it deep into the waters, seeing a revolting, fishlike creature, several eyes and tentacles. A thick cloud of mucus or slime clings to it's skin. Seira, meanwhile, is descending at a slower rate. No sign of metal from Lagann yet.
[20:30] <Alicia> That looks horribly nasty, so Alicia chooses to give it a wide berth, moving horizontally away from it for eighty feet and hesitating to see if it follows before she descends further.
[20:31] <Anastasia> It goes down and out of sight. Meanwhile Seira descends a little further, another round past. Still no metal from Lagann, though she catches up 15 feet to Seira.
[20:32] <Anastasia> Meanwhile, "That may be true," Pollyanna goes to sit against one of the larger rocks here, "Do you think you could've defeated all of those lizards?"
06[20:32] * Alicia resumes descending herself, wanting to at least get a look at the bottom of the lake before she returns, unless accosted by horrible slimy tentacle things.
[20:33] <Demedais> "Would depends on the situation. I'd probably have a fair shot, but they'd wear me down greatly." Demedais shrugs.
[20:33] <Anastasia> Another round of descending shows Alicia something else - far to her left, she can glimpse something that stands out. Farther below and to the west, there's an area of very still, calm water.
[20:35] <Alicia> She'd really rather see the bottom of the lake first, but she might investigate the still water on her way back up. Down she keeps going!
[20:37] <Anastasia> Alicia descends another three rounds! She's still not at the bottom(The still area is closer, and it seems to go down farther than she can see.) Seira continues to descend, when Lagann says 'Metal...lots of little metal in water,' it speaks in her mind. 'West and down.'
01[20:37] <Seira> It should be within sight, and Seira tries to spot what he's talking about.
[20:38] <Anastasia> OOC: Spot, Seira?
01[20:39] <Seira> roll 1d20+11
06[20:39] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+11 and gets 31." [1d20=20]
[20:39] <Alicia> This is ridiculous. It's as deep as the pit she dug in Halla! Idly Alicia wonders if another spellfire empowered servant of Mystra once wreaked havoc upon the local gnomes here... Pushing herself, she continues swimming, intending to turn and swim back up if she doesn't reach the bottom within the next dozen seconds or so.
[20:40] <Anastasia> Alicia swims down a little further! After the last move, she notices something. Far below, at the edge of her darkvision, she can glimpse what looks to be a vast muddy bottom.
[20:41] <Alicia> It's too deep to safely reach without magic she's not willing to cast right now. And actually searching the bottom would take even longer. Adroitly flipping herself around, Alicia surges back upwards towards blessed air!
01[20:41] <Seira> Drawn by the metal fragments, Seira swims closer to them, trying to determine along with Lagann where they're coming from, if they're not just floating freely.
06[20:42] * Seira tries to see the point of origin for all those fragments.
[20:43] <Anastasia> Alicia swims up without incident. As her lungs between to burn for air, her head a bit dizzy, she sees Seira searching about the dark, tingly waters.
06[20:44] * Alicia doesn't linger, swimming straight up without pause. She's pushed herself pretty close to her limit and any delay could prove a mistake.
06[20:45] * Seira turns around about the same time, deciding to return to the surface.
[20:47] <Anastasia> The two come back up for air. The air is refreshing and soothing, the others able tos ee the water color them like a rainbow! Alicia's hair isa honeyed blonde, her skin rippling between dark brown and black. Seira's form shimmers between gold and brown, hair tones inverted to white.
[20:48] <Anastasia> "W-what?" Amaryl stares as the two emerge, "Seira? Alicia?"
06[20:48] * Seira stretches out, once safely out. "What's wrong?" she asks Amaryl curiously.
[20:48] <Anastasia> "It must be more wild magic. See the colored bubbles," Donald points, "It's probably nothing serious...probably."
06[20:48] * Demedais blinks, before eyeing the water. "Any clue if this is what we were looking for, or is it just the Lake of Free Makeovers?"
[20:49] <Anastasia> "Um..." Amaryl blushes, "You're a different color now."
06[20:49] * Alicia splashes right out of the water and then flaps her wings powerfully to take o the air, shaking it off as she flies upwards and sucks in much needed lungfuls of air.
[20:49] <Alicia> She then notices her skin's changing colour, eyes widening in alarm. "Oh, Hells! It's more concentrated in the water! I'm not going back in there again!" she starts to fly back to the shore, doing her best to shake off the water as she does so.
06[20:49] * Seira glances at the water.
06[20:50] * Seira plays with a white strand of hair, observing her reflection do likewise. "I think I can make this white hair thing work," she states. "And gold is a very respectable color, isn't it?"
[20:54] <Anastasia> The water's top is the same dark blue. More colored bubbles continue to emerge out from it. The two drip with water, lines of the original color starting to show amid the altered tones.
06[20:54] * Alicia looks relieved at her colouring starting to return. "I doubt there's anything useful in the lake, even if there is it's far too deep to safely explore, and I saw a slimy tentacled monster down there. I'm going to fly up to dry off a bit more and see if I can see anything from above," she explains to the others before she takes off to the sky.
[20:54] <Demedais> "Right. Be careful." Demedais calls, before eyeing the water again.
[20:54] <Anastasia> The water continues to bubble as it always does. "I don't know," Donald says, "Alicia would make a cute blonde." With a glance at Seira, "Agreed?"
[20:54] <Anastasia> Alicia flies up into the sky! OOC: How far?
[20:54] <Alicia> OOC: say 500 feet or so
[20:55] <Anastasia> As Seira stares there, bits of black begin to return. Meanwhile, Alicia flies up! Thew arming sun helps dry her, her body now a mishmash of her original and new colors, like a patchwork quilt. From above, you can see that this area of the jungle is quite colorful, more mundane green jungle stretching out in every direction. OOC: Make a spot check?
[20:55] <Alicia> roll 1d20+8
06[20:55] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+8 and gets 10." [1d20=2]
[20:55] <Anastasia> Nothing stands out in the vast expanses of colors and then green to Alicia's eyes.
01[20:56] <Seira> "Hmm? What was that?" Seira asks Donald, finally leaving her reflection in peace. "She could make the blonde look work, yes. Or any look, really."
[20:56] <Alicia> Alicia grimaces and wipes at some of the discoloured sections of her skin in hopes they'll go away. She really doesn't want to stick this way.
[20:57] <Anastasia> "Either of you could," Pollyanna murmurs, as meanwhile, Alicia finds that her skin starts returning to normal as she wipes and dries them.
[20:58] <Alicia> Alicia spends a minute trying to fix herself as she circles above the lake, climbing a bit higher in the air as she does so. But finally satisfied both in her appearance and the fact that no structures can be seen from the air, she dives back down to join the others and report her findings.
[20:58] <Alicia> Or lack thereof.
01[20:58] <Seira> "So what freaky tentacled thing did we come across now?" Seira asks Alicia.
[20:58] <Anastasia> As Alicia lands, "Then what?" Amaryl holds a hand to her chest, as the women continue to slowly turn back to the proper colorations, "Do we risk the lake or do we try searching somewhere else. If this isn't it, does that mean we can't find it from the air and well have to do it the hard way?"
01[21:00] <Seira> "Well, I did find a possible something," Seira informs them. "There's traces of metal trailing up towards the surface. I'm thinking rust or something along those lines. Iron exists in nature, but steel doesn't, right? So it has to come from somewhere gnome-made."
[21:01] <Alicia> "It's possible, and I suppose the colouring is only temporary," Alicia seems slightly mollified. "Still, the bottom is extremely deep, we won't be able to reach it without magic."
[21:01] <Anastasia> "Well, if we try the lake?" Donald crosses his arms, "If water breathing wild fails or whatever, we go and find a defensible place to rest, or we risk teleporting to somewhere safe? After that, we try again tomorrow with water breathing and setting up? If spells to allow us to work better in the water are cast, we can probably deal with it okay."
[21:02] <Alicia> "Oh, the thing I saw was a really ugly fish-like thing with too many eyes and tentacles and a disgusting cloud of mucus surrounding it," Alicia adds for Seira's benefit.
01[21:02] <Seira> "Ah! Exciting! In a truly vile way," Seira says happily. "Aboleth it is. And the area has nasty side-effects for using magic, so if we fight it, we shouldn't try relying on spells."
[21:02] <Anastasia> "If not...that's a lot of jungle to search," Pollyanna agrees, "I'd hate to search it for a few weeks, come back here and find out this was right. If it's not it..." Pollyanna shrugs, "...hm. You know, I wonder if this water could be used to change hair color like just now..."
06[21:03] * Demedais nods slightly to all of this. "Pulling back, preparing for the dive and investigation sounds optimal.
[21:03] <Alicia> "Dunk your head in and see?" Alicia suggests to Pollyanna. "I don't think it'll let you choose what colour, though."
[21:04] <Anastasia> "Dunk Demedais' head instead," Donald starts to grin, "Imagine him with a glaring red or blue head for a minute."
[21:04] <Anastasia> "Donald, shut up," Pollyanna glares back to him, "AHEM. That was just idle speculation. Never mind it."
01[21:04] <Seira> "Maybe this water will make hair grow," Seira says sagely. "Or falls off. Dunk Donald.
01[21:04] <Seira> "
[21:04] <Alicia> "Well, we're going to have to go in anyway. Want to try water breathing on us all, Seira?" Alicia asks the half-dragon.
06[21:05] * Seira first tries to estimate whether the augmented wild magic effects on she and Alicia have worn off by now.
01[21:06] <Seira> "Okay, let's hope for nothing embarrassing happening!" Seira announces, trying to cast Water Breathing on them all!
01[21:06] <Seira> roll 1d20+17
06[21:06] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+17 and gets 30." [1d20=13]
[21:06] <Anastasia> The spell goes without incident.
06[21:07] * Seira shrugs. "Let's go to the spot I had to pause at, and take it from there. Lagann will guide us!"
[21:07] <Anastasia> "Does this mean we're going into the drink now?" Donald asks of Seira, "Or was it just a test run?
[21:07] <Alicia> "Why would we wait?" Alicia asks Donald.
01[21:07] <Seira> "Might as well," she suggests. "When in doubt, go forward, all that." And with those words, she dives back into the water.
[21:08] <Anastasia> "Demedais, as much as I disagre---oh well." Donald shrugs as Seira goes in. "Charging ahead works, too."
[21:08] <Anastasia> Pollyanna stares at Donald, "You're sounding unusually reasonable. Isn't he, Deme?" She asks, approaching the water.
[21:09] <Alicia> "Remember to stick close everyone," Alicia instructs. "If anyone gets in real trouble I'll risk teleporting us out, but hopefully it won't come to that." At that she follows Seira into the drink.
[21:10] <Anastasia> OOC: Everyone's staying together then? What speed does that have the party move at?
06[21:10] * Demedais shrugs. "I thought we were going to prepare more, but very well. Let's try to stick together, at least? Everyone in, I guess."
01[21:11] <Seira> OOC: 15ft per round, it seems? Let's go back to the point I stopped at and follow the trail.
[21:11] <Alicia> OOC: 10 feet if Deme keeps his armour on, 15 feet if not. Assuming everyone can make their swim checks.
[21:12] <Anastasia> OOC: Okay. Just for reference, how long does water breathing last?
[21:13] <Alicia> OOC: should be 5.6 hours each at Seira's CL
01[21:13] <Seira> OOC: 34 hours divided for all participants, so 34/6
[21:15] <Anastasia> roll 34/6
06[21:15] * Hatbot --> "Anastasia rolls 34/6 and gets 5.6666666666667."
[21:15] <Anastasia> OOC: Okay.
[21:18] <Anastasia> OOC: Also, any light source?
01[21:18] <Seira> OOC: I can see just fine
[21:18] <Alicia> OOC:I can glow
[21:18] <Alicia> OOC: but it's not very effective as light
[21:18] <Anastasia> OOC: Polly/Deme can't, notably, so some light would be preferred as far as Polly's concerned.
[21:19] <Demedais> OOC: As well as Deme. Even if we can't really see anything beside another member of the group, it'd still be ideal.
[21:19] <Demedais> OOC: Also I can just light a sunrod, that'd be better.
[21:20] <Anastasia> OOC: Feel free to do so IC then. How far does a sunrod's light work?
[21:20] <Alicia> OOC: 30 feet bright, 60 feet shadowy
[21:20] <Anastasia> OOC: Thanks.
06[21:21] * Demedais lights a Sunrod right before he dives in himself!
[21:21] <Anastasia> As you begin to descend, "Demedais," With a mouthful of water gargling her words, "Let me hold that? My arrows aren't worth much down here. You can do more with free hands."
[21:21] <Anastasia> Pollyanna says, right after they jump in.
06[21:22] * Demedais nods and hands the sunrod over, redrawing his spear with that.
[21:23] <Anastasia> Thus the party begins to descend down! The rate of going is slow, about a minute per 100 feet. At this point, as the party begins to descend, they can see something rising up from the depths! Four amphibian abberations, the same as Alicia saw before. In gurgling Aquan, "Who are you? What are you doing in our territory, landbreathers?"
06[21:24] * Alicia has no idea what they're saying, although it sounds like the language she hears around Darlina's village so she assumes they are intelligent.
01[21:25] <Seira> "We only intend to pass through toward what lies beneath the lake," Seira responds in the same language.
[21:26] <Anastasia> As it's mouth emits clear, non colored bubbles, "You cannot pass freely into our domain. If you want to advance further, you must earn it."
01[21:28] <Seira> "But talking is free, isn't it?" Seira asks them. "If I might ask, who made you this domain's guardians? The gnomes, or their enemies?"
[21:29] <Anastasia> "Irrelevant, this is our domain. Consider your next words to be more relevant, landbreather."
06[21:30] * Demedais scans the area for chaos and evil while he waits for Seira to give sort of cue as to relevant actions.
01[21:31] <Seira> Straight to the point. She can respect that. "How does one earn the right to pass?"
[21:33] <Anastasia> "An offering to our exalted leader may suffice. He is an accomplished master of the arcane. Entrust an offering to us and..."
[21:34] <Demedais> "So, uh, what are they saying?"
[21:35] <Anastasia> "Good question," Donald says, "Are we going to have to slice 'em up or what?"
01[21:36] <Seira> "Give me a moment to translate," Seira tells the overgrown fish, before glancing at her allies. "They basically want cash for their great magely leader. I heard of mages amongst them. It could end up kinda bad, so I'm debating our options."
[21:36] <Anastasia> "Will they keep their word if we pay up?" Pollyanna asks, "How much do they want, or what do they want?"
[21:37] <Anastasia> "Yeah," Donald growls now, eyeing the overgrown fish, "If it's just a few potions, it's probably worth the risk. But damned if I want to trust something like that."
01[21:37] <Seira> "What is considered an acceptable offering?" Seira obligingly asks the aboleths.
[21:37] <Demedais> "Our sole objective is to ensure that we all get to the ruins safely and back. Tell them that we will also want safe passage back out, and in return we will not attack them or their ilk in exchange for some small amount." Demedais shrugs.
[21:38] <Anastasia> "Magical items and tools useful to a wizard. Scrolls, wands, so forth."
[21:38] <Anastasia> Amaryl sighs long, "Greed. Under the water and it's still greed."
01[21:39] <Seira> "Some wizardly things," Seira translates. "I'm thinking I'll make a counter offer. Since it's bound to fail, prepare for a fight?" Going back up doesn't really figure in her thoughts.
06[21:39] * Alicia nods grimly, not in the mind to support banditry by giving them anything.
[21:39] <Alicia> Really, how many visitors do they get where robbing people is the first thought on their mind?
06[21:41] * Seira nods back, and then points at herself. "Dragon." She gestures at Alicia. "Angel." Demedais is next, and here she says, "Slew several dragons single-handedly." Seira holds up her Resort afterward. "Ancient artifact of terrible power. I'm thinking, you'll let us pass or you're all dead and we beat your boss up and take his wizard tools for ourselves."
[21:42] <Anastasia> OOC: Make an intimidation check, +5 bonus? I have to admit that was a pretty good line and way to pull it off.
01[21:43] <Seira> OOC: Taking 10 would make that 40!
[21:43] <Anastasia> roll 1d20+16
06[21:43] * Hatbot --> "Anastasia rolls 1d20+16 and gets 26." [1d20=10]
[21:44] <Anastasia> There is a pause amid the fist, and then in a angry, blurbling voice, F-Fine, but you know not the power you have i-insulted this day!"
06[21:44] * Seira just stares at them.
[21:44] <Anastasia> Under that harsh stare, ""Go down and to the west, into the still water. Y-you'll find what you want there..."
06[21:45] * Seira nods. "Have a good day," she says pleasantly, and waves everyone to proceed, herself leading the way.
06[21:45] * Alicia eyes the fish distrustfully as she follows after Seira.
[21:45] <Anastasia> At that, the four aboleth's hurry away!
01[21:46] <Seira> "Ah, the art of negiating," Seira says happily.
[21:46] <Anastasia> "Wow, that worked?" Donald says as he continues to swim down, "You scared those big fish-things off or showed them common sense or what?"
01[21:46] <Seira> *negotiating
[21:46] <Demedais> "A side note: the water radiates no chaos, they radiated a rather faint evil." Demedais shrugs. "For Alicia's sake, mainly; if we encounter them again a smite might work well." With that, he follows the group, led by Seira.
01[21:46] <Seira> "I told them the way things are," Seira relates proudly.
[21:46] <Alicia> "Noted," Alicia gives Demedais a smile. "I'd guessed from their actions, but I wasn't of a mind to risk checking magically."
[21:47] <Anastasia> OOC: Strike that, mistake there. I thought you were purely scanning the aboleths. There's still faint chaos everywhere.
[21:48] <Demedais> "A side note: the water radiates faint chaos still; they radiated a rather faint evil, but no chaos." Demedais shrugs. "For Alicia's sake, mainly; if we encounter them again a smite might work well." With that, he follows the group, led by Seira.
[21:49] <Anastasia> Thus the party descends down into the still waters for a time! A few hundred feet more down, the water still bearable despite the constant tingling. OOC: Who's on point here, by the way?
06[21:49] * Seira will be it.
[21:50] <Anastasia> OOC: Make a spot check then, Seira?
01[21:50] <Seira> roll 1d20+11
06[21:50] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+11 and gets 16." [1d20=5]
[21:51] <Anastasia> At about fourty feet away, in the shadowy light that the sunrod casts, Seira notices something! It's coming up towards the party. It's odd - like a series of metal blocks, faces and limbs, free floating yet staying together. It moves with a smooth coordination, somehow...oozing? Very jelly-like in it's actions as it approaches the party.
06[21:56] * Seira thinks that this is where she'd want to call upon her goddess's aid, drawing the Resort.
[21:56] <Alicia> OOC: any knowledge to ID it?
[21:57] <Anastasia> OOC: If you're going to do that, let's just go into init then? Also, K:A or K:D, whichever you prefer.
01[21:57] <Seira> roll 1d20+22 K:A
06[21:57] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+22 K:A and gets 36." [1d20=14]
[21:57] <Anastasia> "The hell?" Pollyanna shakes her head at that, "What IS that thing?!"
01[21:57] <Seira> roll 1d20+6 init
[21:57] <Alicia> roll 1d20+11 arcana
06[21:57] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+11 arcana and gets 18." [1d20=7]
06[21:57] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+6 init and gets 19." [1d20=13]
06[21:58] * Demedais grunts, hefting his spear. "You two stick back?" he tells Pollyanna and Alicia. "Let us deal with it as best we can."
[21:58] <Alicia> roll 1d20+8 init, guess it's not friendly?
06[21:58] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+8 init, guess it's not friendly? and gets 16." [1d20=8]
[21:58] <Demedais> roll 1d20+2
06[21:58] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+2 and gets 5." [1d20=3]
[21:58] <Anastasia> roll 1d20+7 P
06[21:58] * Hatbot --> "Anastasia rolls 1d20+7 P and gets 14." [1d20=7]
01[21:58] <Seira> "A living spell!" Seira gasps. "Wow, those are so rare! Lagann, it's iron, can you eat it?"
[21:58] <Anastasia> roll 1d20+7 Amaryl
06[21:58] * Hatbot --> "Anastasia rolls 1d20+7 Amaryl and gets 20." [1d20=13]
[21:58] <Demedais> OOC: s/Alicia/Amaryl
[21:58] <Anastasia> roll 1d20+2 Donald
06[21:58] * Hatbot --> "Anastasia rolls 1d20+2 Donald and gets 11." [1d20=9]
[21:59] <Anastasia> roll 1d20+2 ????
06[21:59] * Hatbot --> "Anastasia rolls 1d20+2 ???? and gets 11." [1d20=9]
[21:59] <Demedais> "Living spell of what sort?" Demedais grumbles.
01[21:59] <Seira> "Iron... ish."
03[21:59] * Anastasia changes topic to 'Amaryl>Seira>Alicia>Polly>Donald=Living Spell>Deme'
[21:59] <Demedais> "I see."
[21:59] <Anastasia> Amaryl hangs back, watching, "A living...spell?! That's possible?"
01[22:00] <Seira> "Sure is! We fought one before!"
[22:00] <Anastasia> OOC: Amaryl's holding, underwater+arrows don't mix and she's not charging in melee after last time. Seira?
[22:01] <Anastasia> "This entire place should be opened up as an exhibit for Mystra's temple or your school, Seira," Donald observes, "So many bizzare magical things!"
06[22:02] * Seira prepares to try and sunder the thing as it comes towards them, waiting on Lagann to try and deal with something that should be right up his alley.
01[22:02] <Seira> OOC: I'll AoO it or something if it tries to eat us, my action goes to Lagann
[22:02] <Anastasia> OOC: Okay, which power are you using?
01[22:03] <Seira> OOC: Is it possible to use Crafting to basically reshape it into something without limbs and faces?
[22:04] <Anastasia> OOC: No, that'ws generally for non-living things. This is a functioning creature.
01[22:05] <Seira> OOC: How about tugging on anything loose in the thing to get part of it to fall apart?
[22:05] <Anastasia> OOC: With attraction? Okay, sure.
01[22:05] <Seira> OOC: Cool. I have stoneskin, I might be able to take it.
[22:06] <Anastasia> roll 1d20+15
06[22:06] * Hatbot --> "Anastasia rolls 1d20+15 and gets 22." [1d20=7]
[22:06] <Anastasia> roll 10d6
06[22:06] * Hatbot --> "Anastasia rolls 10d6 and gets 43." [10d6=5, 4, 6, 1, 6, 1, 4, 6, 4, 6]
[22:07] <Anastasia> On calling on Lagann's power, a rain of small parts of the oozing metal objects fly out and away! The problem? They're going right for Lagann, and Seira by obvious extension! OOC: Make a ref save?
01[22:07] <Seira> roll 1d20+24 I knew this would happen
06[22:07] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+24 I knew this would happen and gets 28." [1d20=4]
[22:07] <Anastasia> Seira adroitly dodges the metal, parts of it ripped away and the entire shape somewhat disfigured by the attempt! OOC: Alicia?
[22:08] <Alicia> "It's an abomination. The weave is damaged and disrupted here," Alicia replies to Donald, readying her blades and positioning herself alongside Seira. "I can only hope there's a way to fix it."
[22:08] <Alicia> OOC: readied action to attack if it approaches
[22:08] <Anastasia> "Oh. Then should be eat the hell outta it?" Donald asks.
01[22:08] <Seira> "We'll give it our best!" Seira chirps. "It's possible, we've really learned a lot about that sort of thing!"
[22:08] <Anastasia> Pollyanna holds the sunrod and waits! Donald prepares, swimming forward to the front...OOC: It's up.
[22:09] <Anastasia> roll 1d6
06[22:09] * Hatbot --> "Anastasia rolls 1d6 and gets 3." [1d6=3]
[22:10] <Anastasia> The living thing, whatever it is, seems to reform with a startling speed! As it does, it flows right over to Alicia, turning into a vast mess of ooze as it tries to engulf her! OOC: You can take your readied attack if you like, Alicia.
03[22:11] * Anastasia changes topic to 'Amaryl>Seira>Polly>Alicia=Donald=Living Spell>Deme'
[22:11] <Alicia> roll 1d20+18 -8pa divine might
06[22:11] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+18 -8pa divine might and gets 30." [1d20=12]
[22:12] <Anastasia> Alicia swings hard as she waits, but misses! OOC: It's moving into Alicia's square. Seira, you can AoO. Alicia, you can AoO as well, but if you do, you'll be in no position to effectively dodge it's attack.
[22:12] <Alicia> OOC: I'd rather make a reflex save
01[22:13] <Seira> roll 1d20+20 smite, +1 ignorance
06[22:13] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+20 smite, +1 ignorance and gets 22." [1d20=2]
[22:13] <Anastasia> Seira draws in power and swings hard, but her blow glances around the metal, missing! Then the ooze is all around Alicia! OOC: ref.
[22:13] <Alicia> roll 1d20+17
06[22:13] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+17 and gets 20." [1d20=3]
[22:15] <Anastasia> The ooze surrounds Alicia! In a moment, she starts plummeting! Or rather, an iron statue of her does! Alicia is sinking like, well, how a huge, heavy metal statue does in the water! OOC: Deme.
[22:18] <Demedais> "...what the hell?" Demedais mutters, checking for evil on the spell as he approaches and tries to stab it! "You two stay -well- back!"
[22:18] <Anastasia> "Aaah! Alicia!" Amaryl cries, starting to reach a hand out, before she quickly withdraws it!
01[22:18] <Seira> 'Can you do anything about that?' Seira asks Lagann mentally, slightly worried at the outcome.
[22:18] <Demedais> roll 1d20+20 this is gonna get ugly, isn't it.
06[22:18] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+20 this is gonna get ugly, isn't it. and gets 40." [1d20=20]
[22:18] <Anastasia> OOC: No crit on this, but a solid hit.
[22:19] <Demedais> roll (1d10+11)/2 (+2d6 if it's chaotic)
06[22:19] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls (1d10+11)/2 (+2d6 if it's chaotic) and gets 8." [1d10=5]
[22:20] <Alicia> A word of power is quickly uttered by Alicia before she's fallen more than a few feet, suddenly arresting her rate of descent significantly! She's still sinking faster than anyone else can swim, though.
[22:20] <Anastasia> Demedais hits the ooze! His blade bounces off, having little effect ata ll! OOC: Amaryl.
[22:20] <Anastasia> Amaryl swims back, "Alicia, can you talk?" she calls down.
[22:20] <Alicia> "Yes!" Alicia calls back. "I'll try to dispel it and swim back up!"
[22:21] <Anastasia> "Got it!" Amaryl calls back cheerfully! OOC: Amaryl's getting back as reocmmended. Seira?
01[22:21] <Seira> OOC: Asked Lagann something!
01[22:24] <Seira> "Demedais, can you emulate the effects of adamant?" Seira asks tersely.
[22:25] <Demedais> "With my sword, after a hit against something weak to it." Demedais replies. "Why?
01[22:27] <Seira> "Lagann thinks no other weapon stands a reasonable chance, and you just saw how it regenerated the damage from earlier," Seira tells him. She steels herself, before trying to breathe acid on the spell!
01[22:27] <Seira> roll 1d20+16
06[22:27] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+16 and gets 28." [1d20=12]
[22:27] <Anastasia> OOC: What spell?
01[22:27] <Seira> OoC: Dragon breath, swift
[22:27] <Anastasia> OOC: No caster level check needed. Proceed.
01[22:28] <Seira> roll 8d8+2d8 acid+holy
06[22:28] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 8d8+2d8 acid+holy and gets 39." [8d8=6, 3, 7, 5, 5, 1, 7, 1][2d8=2, 2]
06[22:28] * Seira gestures for Lagann to try and assault the battered magical construct once more, hoping the spell would make it harder on it to regenerate.
[22:28] <Anastasia> roll 1d20+15 ref
06[22:28] * Hatbot --> "Anastasia rolls 1d20+15 ref and gets 22." [1d20=7]
01[22:29] <Seira> OOC: DC is 24
[22:29] <Anastasia> A cloud of billowing acid engulfs the oozing metal, singing and burning it with acidic vapors! Pollyanna continues to be on guard! OOC: Alicia. You've fallen 60 feet already, the battle is at the very edge of your darkvision.
[22:30] <Anastasia> OOC: Hold on a moment.
[22:30] <Anastasia> roll 10d6
06[22:30] * Hatbot --> "Anastasia rolls 10d6 and gets 36." [10d6=1, 3, 3, 4, 3, 5, 4, 6, 3, 4]
[22:30] <Anastasia> roll 1d20+15
06[22:30] * Hatbot --> "Anastasia rolls 1d20+15 and gets 28." [1d20=13]
[22:31] <Anastasia> A moment later, more chunks of metal rip out from the cloud of ooze! OOC: Alicia, now you're up.
[22:32] <Alicia> "Come on... Spell of iron, be undone! Return my form to flesh and bone!" Alicia incants, attempting to dispel the transmutation on herself.
[22:33] <Alicia> roll 1d20+16 wild magic CL
06[22:33] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+16 wild magic CL and gets 36." [1d20=20]
[22:33] <Alicia> roll 1d20+12 dispel magic CL
06[22:33] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+12 dispel magic CL and gets 23." [1d20=11]
[22:34] <Anastasia> OOC: No CL check for wild magic needed there. For now, ask me if you need one before assuming?
[22:34] <Anastasia> Alicia's spell feels uninterrupted, but her iron body remains as the battle above fades from her vision! OOC: Going to do anythinge lse or is that it for you?
[22:35] <Alicia> OOC: I'll try to swim up to maintain my depth if I can?
[22:35] <Anastasia> OOC: Make a swim check? Be aware of the -8 mod that iron body applies.
[22:36] <Alicia> roll 1d20-7
06[22:36] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20-7 and gets 1." [1d20=8]
[22:36] <Anastasia> Alicia flails in the water, but her iron body makes it utterly impossible to gain any swimming momentum at all as she plummets down under the airs of feather fall! OOC: Donald and the cloud are up.
[22:37] <Anastasia> Donald, swimming ahead, goes to try and slash the cloud, staying close to Seira and Demedais!
[22:37] <Anastasia> roll 1d20+19 (-2 underwater)
06[22:37] * Hatbot --> "Anastasia rolls 1d20+19 (-2 underwater) and gets 34." [1d20=15]
[22:38] <Anastasia> roll 1d10+8 Gets halved
06[22:38] * Hatbot --> "Anastasia rolls 1d10+8 Gets halved and gets 15." [1d10=7]
[22:38] <Anastasia> Donald hacks in slow motion at the cloud, but his blade bounces off entirely! "Dammit, it's like hitting an iron wall!" he curses! Then the cloud...
[22:38] <Anastasia> roll 1d5
06[22:38] * Hatbot --> "Anastasia rolls 1d5 and gets 2." [1d5=2]
01[22:38] <Seira> "Risk a spells channel into that thing!" Seira instructs Donald. "Didn't you hear me mention adamant and magic?!"

03[22:39] * ChanServ sets mode: +o Seira
01[22:39] <Seira> "Risk a spells channel into that thing!" Seira instructs Donald. "Didn't you hear me mention adamant and magic?!"
[22:40] <Anastasia> "I will," Donald looks back, taking the chance to try another potshot at the oozing creature!
[22:40] <Anastasia> roll 1d20+19
06[22:40] * Hatbot --> "Anastasia rolls 1d20+19 and gets 20." [1d20=1]
01[22:40] <Seira> roll 1d20+24 ref
06[22:40] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+24 ref and gets 29." [1d20=5]
[22:40] <Demedais> roll 1d20+22 attack, not like it'll do much honestly
06[22:40] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+22 attack, not like it'll do much honestly and gets 41." [1d20=19]
[22:40] <Anastasia> But his attack of opportunity is a total failure, missing! OOC: Seira, wait until the AoOs resolve. That's also a hit, Dem.e
[22:40] <Demedais> roll 1d10+11 augh
06[22:40] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d10+11 augh and gets 12." [1d10=1]
[22:41] <Anastasia> Seira is able to move fast enough, avoiding the iron stream of objects and darting to the side safely! OOC: Deme.
06[22:45] * Demedais grimaces, dropping the spear a bit behind him as he draws his sword. "If someone could grab that as it falls?" A quick word of prayer after this, as he prepares! OOC: Drop weapon as free, draw weapon as move, Law Devotion as swift. This check out? If so, I'm taking a swing at it.
[22:46] <Anastasia> OOC: Okay.
[22:47] <Demedais> roll 1d20+24 (+6 Law Dev, -2 water, -3 PA)
06[22:47] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+24 (+6 Law Dev, -2 water, -3 PA) and gets 39." [1d20=15]
[22:47] <Anastasia> OOC: Hit.
[22:47] <Demedais> roll (2d6+19)/2
06[22:47] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls (2d6+19)/2 and gets 11.5." [2d6=2, 2]
[22:48] <Anastasia> The powerful blow again bounces off it's side, Deme's greatsword just not able to crack it's resistances...yet! OOC: Amaryl's up.
[22:48] <Anastasia> Amaryl swims quickly, grabbing a hold of Deme's longspear with both hands! OOC: Seira.
01[22:48] <Seira> roll 1d4 forgot breath duration
06[22:48] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d4 forgot breath duration and gets 2." [1d4=2]
06[22:50] * Seira swims a few feet back to get some breathing room, a swirling orb appearing above her palm, displacing the water around it. She gestures at the cloud, and the orb of sound tears off the short distance towards it!
01[22:50] <Seira> roll 1d20+16
06[22:50] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+16 and gets 21." [1d20=5]
[22:50] <Anastasia> OOC: Hit.
01[22:51] <Seira> roll 15d6 sound
06[22:51] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 15d6 sound and gets 47." [15d6=1, 2, 5, 4, 3, 3, 4, 2, 5, 4, 2, 5, 1, 1, 5]
[22:52] <Anastasia> The still waters are disturbed as the orb of sound shakes the metal ooze! Vibrations break parts of the metal down, little shards raining about! Pollyanna meanwhile continues to hold, watching and waiting! Meanwhile, the battle is out of sight for Alicia. She slides deeper into the dark depths, her iron body unbothered and unbreathing. OOC: You're up, 'licia.
06[22:53] * Alicia gives up her futile swimming attempts for now and focuses fully on trying to return herself to normal.
[22:54] <Alicia> roll 1d20+12 dispel
06[22:54] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+12 dispel and gets 15." [1d20=3]
[22:54] <Anastasia> But to no avail, the enchantment not yielding to her attempts at abayment! OOC: That it for you this round, Alicia?
[22:55] <Alicia> Swimming is a lost cause, so she doesn't even try it.
[22:55] <Alicia> OOC: yeah
[22:55] <Anastasia> Meanwhile, Donald channels lighting into his blade, striking at the cloud, "Yaaaah!" he cries, "Fall apart already!"
[22:55] <Anastasia> roll 1d20+22 (-2 swimming, +3 for using shocking grasp on a metallic object.)
06[22:55] * Hatbot --> "Anastasia rolls 1d20+22 (-2 swimming, +3 for using shocking grasp on a metallic object.) and gets 29." [1d20=7]
[22:56] <Anastasia> The lightining crackling sword hits the ooze, but can't penetrate past the surface, between it's watery interferences and the toughness of the ooze! OOC: Ooze is up.
[22:56] <Anastasia> roll 1d5
06[22:56] * Hatbot --> "Anastasia rolls 1d5 and gets 2." [1d5=2]
[22:56] <Anastasia> Once again, the ooze goes to engulf Seira! OOC: This provokes AoOs from you three, though if you take it, you can't avoid the engulfment after, Seira.
06[22:57] * Demedais doesn't hesitate at this chance!
[22:57] <Anastasia> Donald takes the movement and hacks away at it!
[22:57] <Anastasia> roll 1d20+19
06[22:57] * Hatbot --> "Anastasia rolls 1d20+19 and gets 34." [1d20=15]
[22:57] <Anastasia> roll 1d10+8
06[22:57] * Hatbot --> "Anastasia rolls 1d10+8 and gets 16." [1d10=8]
[22:57] <Demedais> roll 1d20+24 (+6 Law Dev, -2 water, -3 PA)
06[22:57] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+24 (+6 Law Dev, -2 water, -3 PA) and gets 29." [1d20=5]
[22:58] <Anastasia> Donald swings but can't deal serious damage to it, while Demedais plain misses! OOC: Seira, take our AoO or make a ref save your choice.
01[22:58] <Seira> roll 15d4
06[22:58] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 15d4 and gets 41." [15d4=4, 4, 3, 4, 4, 3, 4, 1, 1, 4, 4, 1, 1, 1, 2]
01[22:59] <Seira> roll 1d20+24 of course I'm dodging
06[22:59] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+24 of course I'm dodging and gets 33." [1d20=9]
[22:59] <Anastasia> Dodging again, Seira can see that the ooze is healing far too fast and quickly, restoring much of the damage done to it! OOC: Deme.
06[23:00] * Demedais grimaces and begins hacking into the thing, attempting to dissemble it at least in part!
[23:00] <Demedais> roll 1d20+23 (+6 Law Dev, -2 water, -4 PA)
06[23:00] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+23 (+6 Law Dev, -2 water, -4 PA) and gets 37." [1d20=14]
[23:00] <Demedais> roll 1d20+18 (+6 Law Dev, -2 water, -4 PA)
06[23:00] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+18 (+6 Law Dev, -2 water, -4 PA) and gets 29." [1d20=11]
[23:01] <Demedais> roll 1d20+13 (+6 Law Dev, -2 water, -4 PA)
06[23:01] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+13 (+6 Law Dev, -2 water, -4 PA) and gets 22." [1d20=9]
[23:01] <Anastasia> OOC: 1 hit.
[23:01] <Demedais> roll (2d6+21)/2 bah to water
06[23:01] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls (2d6+21)/2 bah to water and gets 13.5." [2d6=2, 4]
[23:02] <Anastasia> This time, Demedais finds his blade to cut through it without resistance! He does actual damage to it, able to penetrate it's toughened body! Meanwhile, Amaryl keeps holding and waiting! OOC: SEira.
06[23:03] * Seira breathes more acid on the persistent spell, commanding Lagann to strike at it once more!
[23:03] <Anastasia> roll 1d20+15 breath
06[23:03] * Hatbot --> "Anastasia rolls 1d20+15 breath and gets 23." [1d20=8]
[23:03] <Anastasia> roll 1d20+15
06[23:03] * Hatbot --> "Anastasia rolls 1d20+15 and gets 26." [1d20=11]
01[23:03] <Seira> roll 8d8+2d8 acid+holy
06[23:03] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 8d8+2d8 acid+holy and gets 58." [8d8=2, 3, 8, 3, 8, 4, 8, 8][2d8=7, 7]
01[23:03] <Seira> OOC: Breath dc is 24
[23:04] <Anastasia> roll 10d6
06[23:04] * Hatbot --> "Anastasia rolls 10d6 and gets 35." [10d6=5, 3, 4, 5, 4, 4, 4, 4, 1, 1]
[23:05] <Anastasia> This time Seira manages to do some real damage! It's caught with breath flush on the metal, while Lagann rips out more parts! It's entire form starts to look shaky, "Keep it up!" Pollyanna calls from the sidelines! OOC: Alicia. You're continuing to sink, but not at the bottom yet. Doing anything?
06[23:06] * Alicia doesn't expect to hit the bottom for a long time, given how deep this wretched lake is. Hopefully she can fix herself before then... "Spell, be undone by my will!" she commands harshly.
[23:06] <Alicia> roll 1d20+12
06[23:06] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+12 and gets 21." [1d20=9]
[23:06] <Anastasia> But again, Alicia can't seem to unweave this persistant bit of magic! Her body remains like a iron golem! Meanwhile, Donald channels another shocking grasp, striking hard!
[23:06] <Anastasia> roll 1d20+22
06[23:06] * Hatbot --> "Anastasia rolls 1d20+22 and gets 38." [1d20=16]
[23:07] <Anastasia> roll 1d10+8
06[23:07] * Hatbot --> "Anastasia rolls 1d10+8 and gets 15." [1d10=7]
[23:07] <Anastasia> roll 5d6
06[23:07] * Hatbot --> "Anastasia rolls 5d6 and gets 20." [5d6=2, 4, 5, 6, 3]
[23:07] <Anastasia> His blade stabs into it, penetrating not much at all! However, the shocking energies disrupt it and make the entire thing twitch! It ries to pull itself together, as...
[23:07] <Anastasia> roll 1d5
06[23:07] * Hatbot --> "Anastasia rolls 1d5 and gets 3." [1d5=3]
[23:07] <Anastasia> It abandons the others and goes right for Pollyanna! OOC: You three can all AoO it if you like.
[23:08] <Anastasia> roll 1d20+19 Even if it's worthless, Donald would rather try, y'know?
06[23:08] * Hatbot --> "Anastasia rolls 1d20+19 Even if it's worthless, Donald would rather try, y'know? and gets 28." [1d20=9]
[23:08] <Demedais> roll 1d20+23 (+6 Law Dev, -2 water, -4 PA) oh screw you buddy
06[23:08] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+23 (+6 Law Dev, -2 water, -4 PA) oh screw you buddy and gets 26." [1d20=3]
01[23:08] <Seira> roll 1d20+19 I'll try
06[23:08] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+19 I'll try and gets 21." [1d20=2]
[23:09] <Anastasia> roll 1d20+12 ref
06[23:09] * Hatbot --> "Anastasia rolls 1d20+12 ref and gets 14." [1d20=2]
[23:10] <Anastasia> Pollyanna isn't able to dodge fast enough! She is engulfed by the slime, sunrod and all! She plummets down seconds later, body an iron statue! The source of light vanishes along with her, causing much difficulty for Demedais and seeing! Fortunately, her descent is controlled, feather falled! OOC: You'll be in shadowy light this round since she only falls 60 feet. Go Deme.
01[23:12] <Seira> "Amaryl, get the Sun Blade!" Seira calls over to her girl. "Demedais will need some light!"
[23:13] <Demedais> "Damnit, Pollyanna! I'll be there as soon as I can!" Demedais curses, moving to approach the spell again! OOC: Deme haet water, 10ft moved.
03[23:13] * Anastasia changes topic to 'Seira>Polly>Alicia=Donald=Living Spell>Amaryl=Deme'
[23:13] <Anastasia> "Aaaah!" Amaryl scrambles, "On it!," she says,s winging the blade around her head! Light begins to shed from her and around!
[23:14] <Demedais> OOC: Hold on a sec.
[23:15] <Anastasia> "Demedaaais!" Pollyanna cries, "I feel so strange now!"
[23:16] <Demedais> roll 1d20 swim check to try and charge the spell (+8 to check from Str, -8 from ACP, no natural ranks)
06[23:17] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20 swim check to try and charge the spell (+8 to check from Str, -8 from ACP, no natural ranks) and gets 12." [1d20=12]
[23:17] <Anastasia> OOC: Success, it's calm water. Go for it.
[23:19] <Demedais> roll 1d20+23 (+6 Law Dev, -2 Water, -6 PA, +2 Charge) diiiiiiie
06[23:19] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+23 (+6 Law Dev, -2 Water, -6 PA, +2 Charge) diiiiiiie and gets 34." [1d20=11]
[23:19] <Anastasia> OOC: Hit.
[23:19] <Demedais> roll (2d6+25)/2
06[23:19] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls (2d6+25)/2 and gets 16." [2d6=3, 4]
[23:20] <Anastasia> Demedais charges ahead again, hacking at the living spell! He scores another successful hit on it, weakening it's form further! OOC: Seira.
06[23:20] * Seira snaps her fingers a few times in irritation. What does it take to put that thing out?! Powerful lances of light turn the surrounding waters to steam as she tries to spear the construct with them!
01[23:22] <Seira> roll 3#1d20+15
06[23:22] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 3#1d20+15 and gets 83." [3#1d20+15 = 29, 35, 19]
[23:22] <Anastasia> OOC: Two hits.
01[23:22] <Seira> roll (8d6)*1.5 fire
06[23:22] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls (8d6)*1.5 fire and gets 28.5." [8d6=4, 2, 1, 4, 1, 4, 1, 2]
[23:23] <Anastasia> The ooze shakes all over, pierced by lines of fire! It looks wobbly and disorganized, but it's still managing to stay together! Polly continues to fall in the meanwhile! OOC: Alicia, you continue your descent. Trying another dispel?
06[23:24] * Alicia is sorely tempted to just stick up an antimagic field at this point, but it would only cause more problems than it would solve. Struggling with her now stiff and ungainly limbs, she continues her perhaps doomed attempts at spellcasting to get herself out of this.
[23:24] <Alicia> roll 1d100 45+
06[23:24] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d100 45+ and gets 92." [1d100=92]
[23:25] <Alicia> roll 1d20+12 dispel
06[23:25] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+12 dispel and gets 32." [1d20=20]
[23:25] <Anastasia> This time, Alicia's body returns to normal at last! She can move again without being a giant hunk of metal!
[23:25] <Alicia> Shaking her limbs in relief, Alicia promptly swims sixty feet back up!
[23:25] <Anastasia> Meanwhile, Donald attempts to charge the blob as well!
[23:26] <Anastasia> roll 1d20 seeing where this roll is at before I bother checking his skill ranks
06[23:26] * Hatbot --> "Anastasia rolls 1d20 seeing where this roll is at before I bother checking his skill ranks and gets 18." [1d20=18]
[23:26] <Anastasia> OOC: +18 swim before ACP. Good enough.
[23:26] <Anastasia> roll 1d20+21
06[23:26] * Hatbot --> "Anastasia rolls 1d20+21 and gets 29." [1d20=8]
[23:26] <Anastasia> But despite closing the distance, Donald can't land another needed blow! Then the ooze...
[23:26] <Anastasia> roll 1d3
06[23:26] * Hatbot --> "Anastasia rolls 1d3 and gets 1." [1d3=1]
[23:27] <Anastasia> It goes for Seira once more! OOC: DEme and Seira, you can AoO. You know the drill here by now
01[23:27] <Seira> roll 1d20+24
06[23:27] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+24 and gets 39." [1d20=15]
[23:27] <Demedais> roll 1d20+23 (+6 Law Dev, -2 Water, -6 PA, +2 Charge) diiiiiiie
06[23:27] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+23 (+6 Law Dev, -2 Water, -6 PA, +2 Charge) diiiiiiie and gets 26." [1d20=3]
[23:27] <Anastasia> OOC: If you're aoOing, that means you don't get the ref save, Seira. Also whiff, Deme.
01[23:27] <Seira> OOC: Are you kidding? Of course I'm dodging, my attack is +19
[23:28] <Anastasia> As Demedais misses, Seira manages to weave out of the way once more! The slime is now 20 feet away from Deme again, healing but still badly battered! OOC: Deme.
[23:28] <Demedais> "Oh for the love of...! Pollyanna, it'll be just a moment!" With that, Demedais attempts to charge again!
[23:28] <Demedais> roll 1d20
06[23:28] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20 and gets 11." [1d20=11]
[23:29] <Anastasia> OOC: Go. Charge.
[23:29] <Demedais> roll 1d20+23 (+6 Law Dev, -2 Water, -6 PA, +2 Charge) diiiiiiie
06[23:29] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+23 (+6 Law Dev, -2 Water, -6 PA, +2 Charge) diiiiiiie and gets 35." [1d20=12]
[23:29] <Anastasia> OOC: Hit.
[23:29] <Demedais> roll (2d6+25)/2
06[23:29] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls (2d6+25)/2 and gets 16." [2d6=1, 6]
[23:29] <Anastasia> OOC: Pause there, work looms like a bad day.

[20:09] <Kotono> <Seira> OOC: Are you kidding? Of course I'm dodging, my attack is +19
[20:09] <Kotono> > As Demedais misses, Seira manages to weave out of the way once more! The slime is now 20 feet away from Deme again, healing but still badly battered! OOC: Deme.
[20:09] <Kotono> <Demedais> "Oh for the love of...! Pollyanna, it'll be just a moment!" With that, Demedais attempts to charge again!
[20:09] <Kotono> <Demedais> roll 1d20
[20:09] <Kotono> * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20 and gets 11." [1d20=11]
[20:09] <Kotono> > OOC: Go. Charge.
[20:09] <Kotono> <Demedais> roll 1d20+23 (+6 Law Dev, -2 Water, -6 PA, +2 Charge) diiiiiiie
[20:09] <Kotono> * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+23 (+6 Law Dev, -2 Water, -6 PA, +2 Charge) diiiiiiie and gets 35." [1d20=12]
[20:09] <Kotono> > OOC: Hit.
[20:09] <Kotono> <Demedais> roll (2d6+25)/2
[20:09] <Kotono> * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls (2d6+25)/2 and gets 16." [2d6=1, 6]
[20:09] <Kotono> > OOC: Pause there, work looms like a bad day.
[20:10] <Kotono> Struggling through the water as best he can, Demedais surges forward and once more hacks the metal ooze! It's parts hudder and crack, struggling between repair and ruin! OOC: Seira.
06[20:15] * Seira decides to test out the elven artifact at that time, getting a bit of breathing room once more, fishing out the trio of darts and imbuing them with arcane might before launching them at the living spell!
01[20:15] <Seira> roll 1d20+16 Summon Monster VI used
06[20:15] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+16 Summon Monster VI used and gets 18." [1d20=2]
[20:16] <Kotono> The darts transform into a potent bolt of arcane fire! It rockets through the air, but narrowly misses the globules of metal ooze! OOC: Is that it for you this round?
01[20:16] <Seira> OOC: Yes, my humiliation is complete. Next batter~
[20:17] <Kotono> Pollyanna continues to sink lik ea barely controlled metal stone! OOC: Alicia, Donald and the spell are up. Alicia, you go first?
[20:18] <Alicia> While Alicia has long since sunk out of sight, the light of Amaryl's sword lets her clearly see things above, and what she sees displeases her. Eager to remove the 'living' from this spell, she maneuvers herself directly beneath it and heralds her return to the fray with a titanic pillar of raw magical energy surging up from the depths to consume its metallic form!
[20:18] <Alicia> roll 18d8 DC 26 half
06[20:18] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 18d8 DC 26 half and gets 66." [18d8=2, 1, 4, 5, 5, 4, 7, 6, 3, 3, 5, 1, 5, 1, 5, 1, 3, 5]
[20:19] <Kotono> roll 1d20+15
06[20:19] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+15 and gets 29." [1d20=14]
[20:20] <Kotono> Alicia shoots up! A beam of spellfire rips through the side of the ooze, breaking it apart further! At the same time, Donald channels his arcane power into another blow, swimming with expert skill and going to stab the rebellious magic!
[20:20] <Kotono> roll 1d20+22
06[20:20] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+22 and gets 24." [1d20=2]
[20:21] <Kotono> But his blow just barely misses again as the ooze tries to pull itself back together! As it does...
[20:21] <Kotono> roll 1d3
06[20:21] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d3 and gets 2." [1d3=2]
[20:21] <Kotono> It goes to try and envelope Donald! OOC: Deme and Donald can AoO it if they like.
[20:21] <Demedais> "Die, already!"
[20:21] <Demedais> roll 1d20+21 (+6 Law Dev, -2 Water, -6 PA) diiiiiiie
06[20:21] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+21 (+6 Law Dev, -2 Water, -6 PA) diiiiiiie and gets 24." [1d20=3]
[20:22] <Kotono> roll 1d20+19 why not anyway, it's honestly irrelevant, but.
06[20:22] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+19 why not anyway, it's honestly irrelevant, but. and gets 37." [1d20=18]
[20:22] <Kotono> roll 1d10+8
06[20:22] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d10+8 and gets 9." [1d10=1]
[20:22] <Kotono> OOC: Actually, no, he's taking the ref. My fault there.
[20:22] <Kotono> roll 1d20+6 ref he'll need luck
06[20:22] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+6 ref he'll need luck and gets 7." [1d20=1]
[20:24] <Kotono> Donald is caught right in it! He struggles for a brief moment, but turns to iron and absolutely PLUMMETS down fast and hard! Meanwhile Amaryl keeps spinning the sunblade, sunlight filling the dark depths of the lake! OOC: Deme.
[20:25] <Demedais> "For the love of...!" Demedais grimaces, quickly attempting to dice it up and end this!
[20:25] <Demedais> roll 1d20+25 (+6 Law Dev, -2 Water, -2 PA) diiiiiiie
06[20:25] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+25 (+6 Law Dev, -2 Water, -2 PA) diiiiiiie and gets 27." [1d20=2]
[20:25] <Demedais> roll 1d20+20 (+6 Law Dev, -2 Water, -2 PA) diiiiiiie
[20:25] <Alicia> Alicia sees Donald dropping towards her and quickly cries out a word of power to arrest his descent!
06[20:25] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+20 (+6 Law Dev, -2 Water, -2 PA) diiiiiiie and gets 23." [1d20=3]
[20:25] <Demedais> roll 1d20+15 (+6 Law Dev, -2 Water, -2 PA) what the flying flip
06[20:25] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+15 (+6 Law Dev, -2 Water, -2 PA) what the flying flip and gets 32." [1d20=17]
[20:25] <Kotono> OOC: One hit.
[20:26] <Demedais> roll (2d6+15)/2
06[20:26] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls (2d6+15)/2 and gets 10.5." [2d6=3, 3]
[20:26] <Kotono> Demedais struggles in the water as Donald's fall takes on a more sane speed! He manages to hack into it once, still struggling to wound the metallic ooze! "Aaaaaah! Get Seira!" Donald calls, "She's the one who'shalf everything, not me!" OOC: Seira.
01[20:27] <Seira> "Oh for crying out loud!" Seira exclaims, tossing the magically-empowered darts at the cloud of metal one after the other. "For making me hear such lame jokes, perish!"
01[20:27] <Seira> roll 1d20+16 greater heroism goes here
06[20:27] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+16 greater heroism goes here and gets 22." [1d20=6]
01[20:27] <Seira> roll 9d6 explode, dammit
06[20:27] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 9d6 explode, dammit and gets 31." [9d6=1, 5, 3, 5, 4, 5, 5, 1, 2]
[20:27] <Kotono> OOC: Hit, thank fuck it's ranged touch.
[20:29] <Kotono> Seira lances it with pure arcane fire, managing to score another burrowing wound! But despite this it holds together, struggling to heal as it continues to envelope, coming closer and closer to the bring, yet not going over! Meanwhile Pollyanna continues to fall! OOC: Donald, Alicia and Ooze. Alicia, go?
[20:31] <Kotono> *brink
[20:31] <Alicia> "I'll dispel you two in a moment," Alicia says to Donald and Pollyanna, channelling a magic missile into Hell Striker and then hurling it upwards with magic to bolster its flight, buzzing up through the water in a wake of steam and slashing right through the creature that's giving them so much trouble!
[20:31] <Alicia> OOC: any wild magic on whirling blade?
[20:31] <Kotono> OOC: No, go for it.
[20:32] <Alicia> roll 1d20+30 -3pa divine might 6th level arcane strike
06[20:32] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+30 -3pa divine might 6th level arcane strike and gets 44." [1d20=14]
[20:33] <Kotono> OOC: Hit.
[20:33] <Alicia> roll 1d8+32+1d6+6d4
06[20:33] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d8+32+1d6+6d4 and gets 52." [1d8=6][1d6=2][6d4=1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 4]
[20:33] <Alicia> roll 5d4+5
06[20:33] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 5d4+5 and gets 18." [5d4=1, 1, 3, 4, 4]
[20:33] <Kotono> The ooze is nearly split apart! Only the barest thread keeps it together...which shatters as magic missiles rip it apart! The entire metal mess collapses into hunks of ill shaped goo, falling heavily into the ocean floor! OOC: At last. Free act.
[20:34] <Kotono> "Finally," Amaryl breathes out, relief in every word. "Are you two alright? Donald? Pollyanna," she calls down.
06[20:34] * Alicia catches her sword and promptly turns to Donald as he starts falling past her, swimming down after him and attempting to return him to flesh and bone. "By Mystra's will, let the spell be broken as its master!"
[20:34] <Alicia> roll 1d20+12 dispel
06[20:34] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+12 dispel and gets 14." [1d20=2]
06[20:34] * Seira remains floating in place, relieved. "Alicia?" she calls below. "Need help with Donald and Pollyanna?"
[20:35] <Alicia> "Yes!" Alicia yells back, "If you can swim down fast enough to join us, this spell is a terror to dispel!"
[20:35] <Kotono> "I'll try," Donald struggles as he falls, touching himself as best he can!
06[20:35] * Demedais grimaces and swims down! "Will freedom of movement at least let them move to somewhere safe for us to remove it?"
[20:35] <Kotono> roll 1d100 51+
06[20:35] * Seira nods, and makes use of Waukeen's gift to pull away from the others.
06[20:35] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d100 51+ and gets 69." [1d100=69]
[20:36] <Kotono> roll 1d20+10 snerk
06[20:36] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+10 snerk and gets 15." [1d20=5]
[20:36] <Kotono> "DAmmit!" Donald continues to leisurely fall, as does Pollyanna, illuminated with her held sunrod!
06[20:36] * Alicia makes another attempt at dispelling Donald, focusing on him since he's deeper than Pollyanna right now.
[20:36] <Alicia> roll 1d20+12
06[20:36] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+12 and gets 16." [1d20=4]
06[20:37] * Alicia also has to swim down pretty hard to keep pace with their descent.
[20:37] <Kotono> OOC: How fast can you swim down with Travel devotion, Seira
[20:37] <Kotono> ?
[20:37] <Kotono> As Alicia fails again, Donald tries to touch himself again!
[20:37] <Kotono> roll 1d100 51+
06[20:37] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d100 51+ and gets 39." [1d100=39]
01[20:38] <Seira> OOC: It gives me +30 move, which is probably halved again or something in the water? I don't think it's explicitely stated.
01[20:38] <Seira> OOC: Erm, the ability to move 30 more feet, not +30 to move
[20:38] <Kotono> But the spell fizzles! "Try..." Donald rasps at Demedais! OOC: It's your normal move, I believE? That would be effected by the water. You can look upt the text but that's how I'm inclined to rule it.
[20:38] <Kotono> roll 1d100 51+
06[20:38] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d100 51+ and gets 61." [1d100=61]
[20:39] <Kotono> roll 1d20+10 snerk
06[20:39] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+10 snerk and gets 15." [1d20=5]
[20:39] <Alicia> "Come on... work, dammit!" Alicia curses as she casts, "I'm running out of spells!"
[20:39] <Alicia> roll 1d20+12
06[20:39] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+12 and gets 18." [1d20=6]
06[20:40] * Demedais nods slightly, and lets himself start sinking rapidly right near Pollyanna to try and catch up!
[20:40] <Kotono> As Demedais uses his heavy gear to sink, Donald stays the same before trying again! "This is ridicious! No wonder no one's ever been here!" Donald growls!
[20:40] <Kotono> roll 1d100 51+
06[20:40] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d100 51+ and gets 82." [1d100=82]
[20:40] <Kotono> roll 1d20+10 snerk
06[20:40] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+10 snerk and gets 22." [1d20=12]
[20:41] <Kotono> But again, Donald can't shatter the spell that clings to him! As they continue to descent slowly, the waters get a bit colder. Alicia knows from her trip down that they're probably not far from the bottom at this rate.
[20:41] <Alicia> "Maybe everyone who's been here is buried at the bottom?" Alicia suggests morbidly, casting again with one of her higher level spell slots. Not that the power is increased, sadly. She needs to do this fast, otherwise he'll surely sink up to his neck in the muck below when he lands.
[20:41] <Alicia> roll 1d20+12
06[20:41] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+12 and gets 20." [1d20=8]
01[20:42] <Seira> roll 1d20+22
06[20:42] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+22 and gets 30." [1d20=8]
[20:42] <Kotono> OOC: Deme, if you're going to act, by all means do so. I assume that in heavy armor you can sink down fairly fast.
[20:42] <Demedais> OOC: Ah, alright.
[20:42] <Kotono> But once again Donald is still steel, as he tries his own magic once more!
[20:42] <Kotono> roll 1d100
06[20:42] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d100 and gets 31." [1d100=31]
06[20:42] * Demedais catches up to Pollyanna, quickly trying to cast Freedom of Movement on her!
01[20:43] <Seira> "Can you stop their descent, at least, Demedais?" Seira calls down to the rapidly falling paladin.
[20:43] <Demedais> "I'll try! Let's see if this works..."
[20:43] <Kotono> Pollyanna struggles a little easier in the water, "It's helping a little, but..." She tries, "I still feel so heavy in the water!" Below, sixty feet away, you can see the edges of a muddy boddy. Thick goop rests down there, heavy mud.
[20:43] <Alicia> "Mother of all magic, hear my call! Still the tumultous weave and let my spell be done! Bonds of iron be undone!" Alicia incants desperately.
[20:43] <Alicia> roll 1d20+12
06[20:44] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+12 and gets 28." [1d20=16]
06[20:44] * Seira decides to risk it and cast Haste, to be there in time!
[20:44] <Demedais> "Can you try swimming?" Demedais asks quickly, looking to Donald worriedly.
06[20:45] * Demedais tries supporting Pollyanna in swimming, letting himself just float where he is as they approach the bottom!
[20:45] <Kotono> At last, the spell around Donald shatters! He returns to normal! A moment later, Pollyanna reaches the mud! Alla round is a sea bottom of mud, save for occasionally rock outcroppings here and there, spread out wide and far. Pollyanna starts to sink in the mud, but is able to struggle and stay more or less on the surface of it, Demedais helping with magic and body!
[20:45] <Kotono> Meanwhile, Seira casts haste, reaching faste rspeeds!
06[20:46] * Alicia immediately whirls towards Pollyanna as soon as flesh reappears on Donald. While she still has some grace, she quickly attempts to blast apart the magic on the archer! "Break the spell, iron fall away! Flesh be revealed to the light of day!"
[20:46] <Alicia> roll 1d20+12
06[20:46] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+12 and gets 24." [1d20=12]
[20:46] <Kotono> The spell clings! Donald hurries over and tries the same, "Just go away," he calls, chanting in elven and draconic, calling on words of power as he touches Pollyanna!
[20:46] <Kotono> roll 1d20+10
06[20:46] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+10 and gets 23." [1d20=13]
[20:47] <Kotono> But again, the magic refuses to retreat, as moving and double moving with haste allows Seira to catch up!
[20:47] <Kotono> Amaryl tags along, her sunblade put back away, everyone relying on the sunrod in Polly's iron grip. "Hurry," she says, "It's hard to resist, even with this magic! I feel so heavy!"
[20:47] <Alicia> "Dammit, stubborn dweomer! Your welcome has been overworn, I demand this foul spell be torn!" Alicia incants with all her might.
[20:47] <Alicia> roll 1d20+12
06[20:47] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+12 and gets 20." [1d20=8]
[20:48] <Kotono> "What she said!" Donald says, trying his last spell!
[20:48] <Kotono> roll 1d20+10
06[20:48] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+10 and gets 11." [1d20=1]
06[20:48] * Seira prepares to call upon the magic of Benign Transposition should Pollyanna begins to sink in earnest.
[20:48] <Kotono> No good! Donald swears in elven over and over, "Fuck! What spell is so hard that a dozen dispels barely scratch it?!"
06[20:49] * Alicia pauses for just a moment, taking a deep cleansing breath of... horribly wild magic tainted water. Shit, that didn't help her mindset at all. "It's the nature of this wretched place, magic doesn't work properly! So this horrid spell should take the hint and fall apart, too!" she gestures and incants some more in Pollyanna's direction.
[20:49] <Alicia> roll 1d20+12
06[20:49] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+12 and gets 31." [1d20=19]
[20:49] <Kotono> At last, that does it! Pollyanna returns to flesh, swimming out of the mud and into Demedais' arms!
01[20:49] <Seira> "Victory!"
[20:49] <Kotono> "...fucking finally." Donald growls low in his throat, "Fucking wild magic and fucking gnomes."
06[20:50] * Alicia sags, rather worn out from all that desperate back to back casting while swimming with all her might. "Thank you, Mystra..." she whispers gratefully.
06[20:50] * Demedais braces Pollyanna as she comes to him! "Damnit. Okay, everyone. Seira, Amaryl alright? Everyone else, what's our plan? We're at the bottom, but..."
[20:50] <Kotono> Pollyanna sighs in relief, "That was so damned close! That was a living spell, you said?"
[20:50] <Kotono> As Amaryl slowly catches up, she calls, "Well, we made it? Let's look around since it was so hard to get here?"
01[20:50] <Seira> "Our plan is to celebrate by searching for a way in!"
06[20:51] * Seira intends on doing just that, with Lagann to help.
[20:51] <Alicia> "If another one of them appears we have to retreat," Alicia states finally as she flicks her feet to follow Seira in the water, searching around. "I don't have nearly enough spells left to do that again."
[20:51] <Kotono> OOC: Roll search then if you like, Seira?
[20:52] <Kotono> "I'm out of dispels," Donald agrees as he starts to swim around, "I'm hurting on my lesser charges, too."
06[20:52] * Seira asks Lagann to focus on concentrations of metals, or anything unusual which might've been used for a reinforced door. "I agree," she tells Alicia, looking around herself.
01[20:52] <Seira> roll 1d20+25
06[20:52] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+25 and gets 40." [1d20=15]
[20:53] <Alicia> roll 1d20+2 aid sure why not
06[20:53] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+2 aid sure why not and gets 16." [1d20=14]
[20:53] <Demedais> roll 1d20+2 right, aid as well
06[20:53] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+2 right, aid as well and gets 19." [1d20=17]
[20:53] <Kotono> roll 1d20+3 Donald aid search
06[20:53] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+3 Donald aid search and gets 5." [1d20=2]
[20:54] <Kotono> roll 1d20+8 Polly
06[20:54] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+8 Polly and gets 22." [1d20=14]
[20:54] <Kotono> roll 1d20+10 Amaryl
06[20:54] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+10 Amaryl and gets 14." [1d20=4]
[20:55] <Kotono> As Seira takes point on the search, you approach various things in this zone of still water. One of them is an outcropping of rock jutting from the mud, a dark depth glimpsed as you get closer. But when Seira gets in thirty feet of it...she can't breathe! She suddenly feels weaker, cutoff!
06[20:56] * Seira flails in the water in panic, trying to get back!
[20:56] <Kotono> Swimming back a few feet, Seira can suddenly breathe water again.
[20:56] <Alicia> "Seira?" Alicia looks worriedly at the half-dragon at her flailings.
06[20:57] * Seira breathes in, then out deeply several times. "Anti-magic... I guess?"
[20:57] <Kotono> Donald shakes his head, "Wild magic and then anti magic? What the hell is going on here? Aren't both of those exceedingly rare?"
[20:58] <Demedais> "Seriously?" Demedais muses, swimming close but still behind Seira. "Hmph. Is the entrance perhaps past there, then?"
01[20:58] <Seira> "Alicia did mention the Weave was all wrong, right? It makes sense, if you look at it that way."
06[20:58] * Alicia attempts to see if she can discern the limits of the antimagic zone, her eyes glowing blue momentarily as she looks over towards the outcropping.
[20:58] <Alicia> OOC: wild magic roll for arcane sight?
06[20:58] * Seira considers. "How about I check it out, and if I'm not back in a minute you pull me back with a rope? It'll be funny for most involved!"
[20:58] <Kotono> OOC: No.
[20:59] <Demedais> "Hold on a sec, Alicia seems to be looking it over." Demedais comments. "Let her scan it quickly, but then that might be our best bet."
[20:59] <Alicia> "Hold on a moment, Seira," Alicia requests, floating up directly above the dark depth while staying at the edge of the anti-magic dome.
[20:59] <Alicia> She then looks down to see what she can see.
[21:00] <Kotono> OOC: Spot?
[21:00] <Alicia> roll 1d20+8
06[21:00] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+8 and gets 27." [1d20=19]
[21:01] <Kotono> Alicia peers in! She can see it looks like a natural, rocky cave. It slopes downward. Bits of metal are lying about there.
[21:02] <Alicia> OOC: Can I see the bottom or does it go further than I can see?
[21:03] <Kotono> OOC: It goes further than you can see under this poor light conditions.
[21:04] <Demedais> "Should I toss a sunrod in?" Demedais offers.
[21:04] <Alicia> "Please, the pit extends further than I can see," Alicia nods.
01[21:04] <Seira> "Can't hurt, probably."
06[21:04] * Demedais nods, swimming up to about where Alicia is before pulling out a second sunrod, activating it and dropping it in!
[21:08] <Kotono> The sunrod is tossed in! It illuminates deeper into the cave passage! About thirty feet past where Alicia saw, it splits into three different passages, one to the west, one to the north and one to the north-northeast, roughly. You're in the southwest part of the lake right now, as reference. Near those passages, coral lines the walls. Coral dotted with eyes, dark fish eyes that stare up at the source of light and follow it as it lands.
[21:08] <Kotono> dark fish eyes that stare up at the source of light and follow it as it lands.
[21:09] <Kotono> "Helm Ever-Vigiliant, this entire area is designed to give me night terrors," Pollyanna's face slackens into a look of contained fear, "Are those EYES?"
[21:09] <Demedais> "I... think so, yes." Demedais peers, bemused.
[21:10] <Alicia> "I thought Helm liked eyes?" Alicia wonders. "Anyway, just a second - I want to see if the antimagic extends all the way down." She then swims to the lakebed and looks for a handy pebble.
01[21:10] <Seira> "Demedais, don't lose to them! Use your eye-glaive to fight back!:
[21:10] <Kotono> The lakebed is all mud. However, one of the other rocky outcroppings has a few she can get.
06[21:10] * Alicia grabs one, then attempts to cast a Light cantrip on it.
[21:11] <Kotono> "That thing isn't SUPPOSED to have eyes," Pollyanna loudly insists, "Right, Demedais?"
[21:11] <Demedais> "This reminds me." Demedais blinks, before turning to Amaryl. "Could I get the spear back? It's a bit better on average for water fighting."
[21:11] <Kotono> The light spell is cast without incident.
[21:11] <Kotono> Amaryl offers the spear back to Demedais with a faint blush.
06[21:12] * Alicia swims back over to position above the outcropping, and drops her magically glowing rock down into the sunrod illuminated pit, aiming for the west passage.
[21:12] <Demedais> "Thanks." Demedais grins, before blinking and glancing to Pollyanna. With a frown, he glances back down at the coral carefully, trying to discern if they're fishes or actual eyes of coral.
[21:14] <Kotono> OOC: Make a ranged attack roll? That's far enough where it poses enough difficult to require a check, I think, since you're aiming for one tunnel.
[21:14] <Demedais> OOC: Should I roll spot for eyeing the coral from here?
[21:15] <Alicia> roll 1d20+19
06[21:15] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+19 and gets 25." [1d20=6]
[21:15] <Kotono> OOC: Sure, Deme.
[21:15] <Demedais> roll 1d20+31
06[21:15] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+31 and gets 38." [1d20=7]
[21:16] <Kotono> Alicia throws the rock well enough! IT plummets down the western passage and turns out of sight. It seems to land not far out of sight, a turn even more to the west right after. The light winks out once it goes into the nati magic field, reappearing about not far from the juncture, just before the coral begins.
[21:17] <Demedais> "...Pollyanna, you are quite right, those eyes are definitely attached to what looks like coral." Demedais says, frowning heavily. "That is quite bizarre. I had mistook them for fish at a glance."
[21:18] <Alicia> "We should be able to swim past the antimagic easily enough," Alicia announces. "Just hold your breath for a few seconds. I'll go first," she proceeds to demonstrate, inverting herself and taking a deep breath before she kicks her legs and powerfully swims downwards through the antimagic to hopefully emerge on the other side safely.
[21:18] <Alicia> She'll know to breathe when freedom of movement kicks back in, since it's obvious.
[21:18] <Alicia> roll 1d20+8 swim for when FoM stops applying
06[21:18] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+8 swim for when FoM stops applying and gets 22." [1d20=14]
[21:18] <Kotono> It takes Alicia a few rounds, but she swims through and finds her magic to work fine once to the edge of the coral! The eyes focus on her, so many little fish-eyes attached to coral, staring at her.
06[21:18] * Seira intends to follow Alicia in, taking a deep breath beforehand and then breathing again at the spot she sees Alicia do likewise.
06[21:19] * Alicia eyes the eyes back. "Sense any evil from them, Hell Striker?" she asks her sword, not wanting to risk using her own magical ability but trusting in the blade's innate knack.
[21:19] <Kotono> OOC: The water is still, DC 10 swim check to get through, people.
01[21:20] <Seira> OOC: I'll take ten and get through
[21:20] <Kotono> OOC: Donald does as well he has tons of swim, even with his armor. Scary.
06[21:20] * Alicia nods in satisfaction, her still blue glowing eyes sweeping the area ahead of her for any interesting magic.
[21:20] <Kotono> OOC: Polly's okay too.
01[21:20] <Seira> OOC: Amaryl has +4 to swim, she can take 10 too
[21:20] <Demedais> "Alright, everyone else through?" Demedais shrugs as Alicia and Seira descend, taking the rear guard.
[21:21] <Kotono> Everyone gets through the dead magic field without incident, breathing safe on the other side now!
01[21:21] <Seira> "Well, isn't this homey," Seira mutters. "Let's try going west, first?"
[21:22] <Demedais> "Might as well." Demedais says, a comforting hand on Pollyanna's shoulder as he keeps an eye on the coral.
[21:23] <Kotono> As you get closer, you can see the western passage goes on west. The northern one goes on north and stays more level, while the north-northeastern one is narrower, but slopes sharply down, before rising up in a U shape. You can't immediately see anything past that U bend.
[21:24] <Demedais> "Can Lagann sense anything, or still not yet?" Demedais asks, trying to recall if the map had anything about intro tunnels.
[21:24] <Alicia> "It's as good a choice as any," Alicia agrees with Seira, starting to swim to the West.
01[21:24] <Seira> "Lots of loose metal, but I'm sure once that changes he'll let me know!" Seira says cheerfully. "And let's leave the obvious trap for last, alright?"
[21:25] <Alicia> "Obvious trap?" Alicia blinks, not seeing anything too obvious...
01[21:26] <Seira> "Narrow passage that angles and you can't see far into?"
06[21:26] * Seira grins. "Gnomes lived for that stuff!"
[21:26] <Demedais> "Heh. Whatever works." Demedais says, beginning to move forward.
[21:26] <Alicia> "I suppose, it's also quite likely to lead to an air pocket as well. But we don't need air right now anyway," Alicia shrugs, continuing West at a sedate pace.
[21:28] <Kotono> OOC: Who's going to be on point?
06[21:29] * Seira follows Alicia, on the lookout for nefarious traps and delicious metals!
[21:29] <Demedais> OOC: Uh, I'd probably be best either on point or in back. Seira, you checking for traps or anything as we go? If not I'll spot in front? Or Alicia can be on point with Seira right behind, that works
01[21:29] <Seira> OOC: Alicia, me, Polly+Amaryl+Donald, Deme?
[21:30] <Demedais> Sure.
[21:31] <Kotono> Thus the party heads west! A half hour of travel passes. The walls start lined with much coral, but this begins to lessen out into more of isolated clumps. As the two travel...OOC: Make spot checks, Alicia and Seira?
[21:31] <Alicia> OOC: works
[21:31] <Kotono> OOC: AS the party travels, even.
[21:31] <Alicia> roll 1d20+8
06[21:31] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+8 and gets 23." [1d20=15]
01[21:31] <Seira> roll 1d20+11
06[21:31] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+11 and gets 25." [1d20=14]
01[21:33] <Seira> Seira's hand darts forward and grabs Alicia's, before the latter can proceed. "See that snake up ahead?" she asks the paladin.
[21:34] <Alicia> "Snake?" Alicia looks around, stopping immediately at Seira's prompting.
[21:34] <Kotono> Seira points it out! A dark sea-snake is almost invisible, hiding up against the passage wall. It's only 5 feet away from Seira and Alicia now!
[21:34] <Kotono> It's medium sized, curled up and spread out against the wall.
[21:35] <Kotono> "Snake?" Amaryl repeats right behind Alicia.
[21:37] <Alicia> "Just keep some distance and hopefully it'll leave us alone," Alicia suggests, hoping it's not insanely suicidal like those dinosaurs. She moves to the far side of the tunnel and inches past, her sword held warily in case the snake makes any aggressive movements.
06[21:37] * Seira intends to keep herself between the snake and Amaryl, letting the other girl pass before following herself.
[21:38] <Kotono> Donald eyes it as he goes past, behind Amaryl. The snake doesn't make any movements, laconically watching the party go past.
06[21:38] * Demedais quickly moves near Pollyanna, keeping himself and Pollyanna against the side as they go past, spear ready to block any lunges if the snake tries.
[21:39] <Kotono> The snake does not. The party passes by it without incident. It watches them a little, but soon enough turns away from them.
06[21:39] * Alicia seems pleased enough that the snake knew not to mess with them and continues onwards. "Hopefully it can find an easier meal than us," she opines.
[21:39] <Kotono> OOC: What are you guys using as a light source right now, by the way?
[21:40] <Alicia> OOC: Polly still has her sunrod? They last 8 hours.
[21:40] <Kotono> OOC: That works. Continuing on?
01[21:41] <Seira> OOC: YEp
[21:41] <Alicia> While she does press on, Alicia does seem a bit uncertain. "We've went more than a mile and found nothing. I wonder if we're just going away from the ruins?" she wonders.
[21:41] <Kotono> After about five more minutes of swimming, the party notices something. Lying on the rocky floor are three things that glitter in the light. Some sort of shiny stones on a glance? Two small, pebble sized ones, and one slightly larger one, about the size of a small stone. They stand out considerably in the light.
[21:42] <Demedais> "It's possible? I
[21:42] <Alicia> "Gems?" Alicia swims down for a closer look. Seira would probably know best.
[21:42] <Demedais> "It's possible? I couldn't tell you for sure."
01[21:43] <Seira> "I don't think we'll actually waste our time exploring these paths, even if they don't all take us to our destination," Seira pitches in, swimming alongside Alicia to get a better look.
[21:43] <Kotono> The stones are muted pink-ish. They're very shiny and smooth, yet have occasional bumps on them, black dotted points. OOC: Seira, you can make appraisal here if you'd like.
01[21:44] <Seira> roll 1d20+17 sure
06[21:44] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+17 sure and gets 23." [1d20=6]
01[21:45] <Seira> "It seems to be a rare precious stone!" Seira exclaims, gently poking at one. After checking the immediate area to make sure there're no traps around it.
[21:46] <Kotono> The stone is poked. It doesn't break or anything.
[21:46] <Alicia> "Three of them," Alicia nods approvingly.
06[21:46] * Seira triest to pick one up.
[21:46] <Kotono> The stone tingles in her hand a bit. They're incredibly smooth.
[21:47] <Demedais> "That's... something, at least." Demedais shrugs.
06[21:47] * Seira shrugs, and picks the rest up as well. "Moving on?"
[21:47] <Alicia> "Certainly," Alicia agrees, kicking her feet to propel herself onwards once more.
[21:49] <Kotono> The party continues on another ten minutes. Ahead, they can see an opening of sorts. Here there's a natural open space, several small connecting water streams from every direction feeding into here. Water flows from this way, flowing towards the lake rift. Lying about all over are several snakes, here and there. About a dozen of them on a casual glance, perhaps more. Lying about all over are sparking stones, just like the ones you saw earlier.
[21:49] <Kotono> Lying about all over are sparking stones, just like the ones you saw earlier.
[21:50] <Alicia> How many streams?
[21:50] <Kotono> About two dozen. Most are small and couldn't be followed at your current size, little feeding trickels. There are two that are big enough to allow access if one wanted to.
[21:51] <Kotono> "More of those precious stones?" Amaryl's eyes widen, "Just lying here? What fortune!"
01[21:51] <Seira> "Hi," Seira greets in Aquan, just in case the sea snakes happen to be sentient.
[21:51] <Kotono> No reply. One of the snakes shifts against a wall, coiling and bracing briefly.
06[21:52] * Seira doesn't act in any threatening way as she considers. "I suppose mage hand or telekinesis could help get those stones without actually disturbing those snakes?"
[21:52] <Alicia> "I can try mage hand," Alicia agrees, floating a safe distance from the snakes before she starts to cast.
[21:52] <Alicia> OOC: wild magic?
[21:53] <Kotono> OOC: Yes.
[21:53] <Alicia> roll 1d20+16
06[21:53] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+16 and gets 24." [1d20=8]
[21:53] <Kotono> OOC: Carry on.
[21:53] <Kotono> "Water snakes, hm?" Donald peers at them. "I remember there are snakes that live mostly in rivers and streams..."
06[21:53] * Alicia proceeds to pick up the gems one at a time and deposit them all in a neat little pile at the entrance to this open space.
[21:53] <Kotono> roll 1d20+13
06[21:53] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+13 and gets 23." [1d20=10]
[21:54] <Kotono> Alicia collects about four dozen of the stones without incident. They glitter and sparkle in the light of the sunrod, just stacking up.
06[21:54] * Seira tries to collect them to join their brethen.
[21:55] <Kotono> "Oh yeah, I know these. These things are called River Winders. They show up just south of the jungle sometimes," He continues on, "I hear they have acidic bites, but they're pretty non-hostile."
[21:56] <Alicia> "River? Isn't this extremely deep for them?" Alicia asks as Seira collects the gathered gems.
[21:56] <Kotono> Donald shrugs, "I don't know that much about them. I've only heard about them in a book once or twice." As he watches Seira collect the gems, "Hey Seira, do they ring any bells? Know the answer?"
01[21:57] <Seira> "Seems like coral or pearls, but not quite the same as either," Seira admits, somewhat stumped. "I do think it's very likely they are sellable."
[21:58] <Kotono> "They are pink, like coral," Donald agrees, "Way too smooth to be coral, though."
[21:59] <Alicia> "Well, shall we go back and try another path now?" Alicia asks. "None of these tunnels look particularly easy for us to navigate."
01[21:59] <Seira> "It took us a long time to get here," Seira mentions. "How about trying one of the wider paths here, first, for a bit?"
[22:00] <Alicia> "Alright," Alicia seems unconcerned, swimming over to the leftmost of the larger paths and heading inside.
[22:01] <Demedais> "Shall we follow?" Demedais shrugs, going after Alicia.
06[22:01] * Seira trades places with Demedais, bringing up the rear this time around.
[22:03] <Kotono> The snakes don't react. This passage tilts to the west and also upwards. A few snakes line it here and there, though noe react. After about five minutes, the curse goes to a 45 degree angle upward, th water current a touch stronger. More snakes, too. The way ahead is clogged by one in particular. This one is much larger, with green scales overlaid on it's body, ruining it's camoflague. Little, stubby scaled wings jut from it's serpentine back.
[22:03] <Kotono> ruining it's camoflague. Little, stubby scaled wings jut from it's serpentine back. It watches the party laconically, uncaring.
01[22:05] <Seira> roll 1d20+16 what is this winged snake
06[22:05] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+16 what is this winged snake and gets 20." [1d20=4]
[22:05] <Demedais> "Do we want to even disrupt these guys, or just head back for now?" Demedais shrugs. "I don't see a reason to meddle here."
06[22:05] * Alicia really hopes this isn't another draconic creature. "Excuse me," she says to the snake as if it could understand, wrapping her wings around herself and bracing her back against the far side of the tunnel as she attempts to inch past it without disturbing it.
[22:05] <Alicia> She then pauses at Demedais's words.
[22:06] <Alicia> "Well... I think more likely than not we're going away from our goal. I don't know where this leads, but I doubt it's anywhere productive..."
[22:06] <Kotono> In draconic, the creature burbles, "Fo...oood? Draa...gooonnn?" It looks to the party as if lazily uninterested.
01[22:07] <Seira> "The water has to be flowing from somewhere, doesn't it? And this snake is much like that lizard, earlier," Seira mentions, before switching to draconic. "Dragon, not food. Can we pass?"
[22:07] <Demedais> "Oh. Sorry. Right, forgive me." Demedais steps back a bit slightly, before shrugging - and then glancing to the creature. "Oh, hi. Hey, have you seen any large gatherings of metal or unnatural stone? Also, yes, she's a dragon."
[22:07] <Alicia> Unless this snake went on a strange arcane transformative journey like Seira did, Alicia can only conclude that some dragons have utterly no shame at all. Really, it boggles the mind and conjures up all sorts of unpleasant images.
[22:08] <Kotono> "Draagoonn..." It hisses out, stretching. It approaches Seira, sniffing at her. "Dragon. Dragon." It speaks in draconic all the while, "Draagon." It curls around her, "Dragon."
[22:08] <Kotono> "Are you..." Donald twitches twice, "Is that...?"
[22:08] <Kotono> "I think so," Amaryl murmurs.
[22:08] <Alicia> "I think you made a new friend?" Alicia raises an eyebrow, her lips twitching amusedly.
06[22:09] * Seira pats the dragon-snake happily. "Want to come along?" she offers to it.
[22:09] <Kotono> "Dragon." It agrees, curling up around Seira's arm. "Dragon. Treasure. Dragon."
06[22:10] * Demedais looks to Seira with some amusement, before glancing to the dragonworm. "Oh, my. You just made a fast friend indeed, both of you."
[22:10] <Kotono> "OF for...what sort of dragon...with a SNAKE?!" Donald sputters, "A SNAKE?!"
[22:10] <Kotono> Pollyanna starts to giggle, "I suppose dragons with magic can do all sorts of things? I daresay that must be a bored dragon, though."
[22:10] <Alicia> Since everyone seems happy, Alicia elects to proceed through the now cleared pathway. "Please Donald, just try not to think about it," she suggests primly. "It must have been terribly lonely, and it's not our place to judge."
[22:11] <Kotono> "Not our place? That's something the size of a house mounting something the size of my leg!" Waving his hand as he follows Alicia, "It's dick is bigger than the entire snake!"
01[22:11] <Seira> "Yes," Seira agrees. "It's not like it was a human mating with just about anything, be it ogre or whatever."
[22:11] <Kotono> "Dragon." The snake repeats, curled around Seira.
01[22:12] <Seira> "Dragon," Seira agrees, patting it some more.
[22:12] <Demedais> "Thank you for that mental image, Donald, however unneccesary it was." Demedais raises one eyebrow.
[22:12] <Alicia> "Maybe the dragon was a female?" Alicia replies wearily.
01[22:12] <Seira> "Bad thoughts! Stop!"
[22:12] <Kotono> Amaryl gags visibly, "Let's just move on? This entire discussion is scandalous and unappealing."
[22:13] <Kotono> Donald just shuts up as the party swims up! Another twenty minutes and light can be seen above! The party comes out in a small little pond in the jungle, a few little trickling streams pouring into it. It's relatively peaceful here, as much as a wild magic tainted jungle ever is.
[22:14] <Demedais> "Oh, what. Well, at least we have a far easier route in now?" Demedais grimaces.
06[22:14] * Alicia hauls herself out of the water and looks around, before looking to see what colour she is this time. "Well, back the way we came?"
01[22:14] <Seira> It doesn't look like this is their destination, so Seira asks her snake friend in draconic, "So where is exciting loot? Can you show me?"
[22:15] <Kotono> Shaking herself dry, "You know, if all else failed, we should've thought about it." Pollyanna says. She's as black as a shadow, while Alicia is neon pink haired and with red armor and skin. "A lake is going to have tributaries."
[22:15] <Kotono> "Dragon. Treasure." The snake agrees, "Treasure. Treasure home."
[22:16] <Kotono> Donald flops out on the side of the pond, "Maybe we should take this as a chance to rest up for the day?"
01[22:16] <Seira> "If it's your treasure, I can help you and add to it! But I need to find some exciting metals, first."
[22:16] <Alicia> "Rivers, sure, but this is just a pond connected via an unnecessarily long and elaborate tunnel system," Alicia replies to Pollyanna, holding a lock of pink hair and staring at it in disbelief. "Good grief, I'm only glad Marie isn't here. She'd love this far too much."
06[22:16] * Demedais glances at himself, before nodding to Pollyanna. "Perhaps we should have, but I don't tend to think in that direction."
06[22:19] * Seira is quite curious at how she would come out now, and also at how Amaryl would look with the fun water mixed into her skin and hair.
[22:19] <Kotono> "It's not really normal, no," Demedais gleams silver and purple, radiant. Seira is pure yellow-orange with highlights of blue on her hands, while Amaryl is flour white.
[22:19] <Alicia> "Anyway, if people are tired I suppose we could call it a day," Alicia agrees easily enough with Donald.
01[22:20] <Seira> "I'm not tired, yet," Seira says with a pout.
[22:20] <Alicia> "A caravan moves at the speed of the slowest horse," Alicia tells Seira. "We'll only press on if everyone feels able." She then looks around at the others, feeling quite spry herself.
[22:20] <Demedais> "If we want to keep pushing and people are tired, I can try lesser restorations. Though I don't know how effective they'll be here." Demedais shrugs, looking a bit tired but nothing hindering.
01[22:21] <Seira> "You know, I've been thinking," Seira muses out loud, agreeing enough with Alicia analogy to not bother arguing her case. "What if a green dragon perished in a horrible magical accident, and that's how his blood got into some creatures?"
[22:21] <Kotono> "I can go either way," Amaryl says, "I'll go along with the majority."
[22:21] <Kotono> "I'm fine," Pollyanna says with a little smile, "I've not even fried anything but a few arrows."
[22:21] <Alicia> "I suppose it's more palatable than the obvious answer, yes," Alicia nods to Seira with a smirk.
[22:22] <Kotono> "I'm a little drained, magically...but I can still kick ass," Donald smirks.
01[22:22] <Seira> "Let's go with that, then!"
[22:22] <Kotono> "Treasure. Treasure home," The snake says to Seira. "Treasure good."
[22:22] <Demedais> "Then I think we're all fine to do some more searching. Water breathing should last us at least three hours longer, no?"
01[22:22] <Seira> "Slightly under five, actually," Seira responds, before asking the snake, "Take me home, then!"
[22:23] <Kotono> The party swims back down! You go past the other snakes now, back to the center chamber where the snakes and all the stones lay. Here, "Home." The snake says from Seira's arm. "Home."
06[22:26] * Seira arranges the pretty stones they had found there back in a circle!
06[22:26] * Alicia looks on at Seira's actions before glancing to the dragon-snake and nodding in understanding. "They belonged to it?" she checks.
[22:26] <Kotono> "Treasure!" The snake swims around the stones, "Shiny treasure!" It starts resorting the stones about, in odd places and directions. "Treasure!"
06[22:27] * Alicia can't help but chuckle slightly at the serpent's actions. "It's almost cute like this."
[22:27] <Kotono> "It is!" Amaryl claps her hands together, "Seira..." she looks long to her.
[22:28] <Kotono> "Oh for..." Donald just shakes his head, drifting towards Demedais. Whispering, "Do you believe this, either?"
01[22:28] <Seira> The dragon-snake seems to understand shapes reasonably enough, and Seira decides to try and write a few gnomish symbols on the ground. "Did you see anything like that here?" she asks it.
[22:29] <Demedais> "I've seen weirder. ...Much to my chagrin." Demedais replies.
[22:29] <Kotono> The snake struggles for several moments, "End." it says at last, "End."
[22:29] <Kotono> "Seira..." Amaryl watches it with a growing warmth, "If it likes you so much...can it come home with us?"
01[22:30] <Seira> "Can you show us?" Seira requests with a smile. At Amaryl's question, she briefly wonders whether this snake can even live comfortably on land.
[22:31] <Kotono> OOC: K:N?
01[22:31] <Seira> roll 1d20+16
06[22:31] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+16 and gets 33." [1d20=17]
01[22:32] <Seira> "And after that, want to come home with us?" Seira adds, no longer worried about the snake's survival chances.
[22:33] <Demedais> "...granted, this I didn't expect." Demedais murmurs to Pollyanna and Donald as the three watch.
[22:33] <Kotono> "It's...cute. It's mothering in a way," Pollyanna says, her words very slow and thoughtful.
[22:33] <Kotono> "It's something," Donald rubs his forehead.
[22:34] <Kotono> "Treasure. Dragon!" The snake wraps back up around Seira's arm.
01[22:34] <Seira> "I think that's a yes," Seira tells Amaryl, giving her a thumbs up.
[22:35] <Demedais> "I, uh, think it adopted you, first, would be my guess." Demedais smirks a bit.
[22:35] <Kotono> "Aaah!" Amaryl blushes and goes to pat it's head, "Seira, what should we name...him...or her? Is it a boy or a girl?"
06[22:35] * Alicia grins. "It is a friendly little serpent, isn't it?" she observes. "Much better than those foul natured lizards we fought earlier."
06[22:35] * Seira desperately doesn't want to check. "A gender-neutral name is fine!"
[22:36] <Kotono> Donald draws a long breath in and out, "That's true, but...nevermind. Just...nevermind."
[22:36] <Kotono> "How about...mmmm. What's a good dragon name, Seira?" Amaryl strokes the side of it's head, "Something it can learn in draconic?"
06[22:36] * Demedais muses for a second, before glancing around for chaos and evil with the spear, on a whim.
01[22:38] <Seira> "Umm. Yoshi?" Seira suggests, after thinking it over.
[22:39] <Kotono> "Well..." Amaryl smiles, "That works for now? It's a little plain for a real name, though."
[22:40] <Demedais> "Yoshitsune Minamoto?"
06[22:40] * Alicia gives Pollyanna a sympathetic look upon hearing Demedais's name suggestions. Hopefully she can knock some sense into him if they have children...
[22:40] <Kotono> "WE can name it and give it a life story later?" Donald raises his voice, "Aren't we supposed to be hunting gnome ruins, not wasting time here."
[22:41] <Kotono> Pollyanna looks long at Demedais, "Demedais, what sort of name IS that? That and Yoshi are nothing like names I hear in the Baronies!"
[22:41] <Kotono> Putting a hand on her hip now, "I mean, really."
01[22:41] <Seira> "It's not a waste of time!" Seira tells him sternly. "These passages are all incredibly lengthy, but Yoshi can lead us right where we need to be!"
[22:41] <Alicia> "We're making a friend, that's not a waste of time," Alicia tells Donald firmly. "If only all our encounters could be resolved like this."
[22:42] <Demedais> "...I think it was a name from one of the books I read when young, actually." Demedais rubs his head. "And before you ask, yes, you get first input on kid names."
[22:42] <Kotono> "Why thank you," Beaming as she hugs Demedais, "That works."
06[22:42] * Seira gives them a long look. "Do you need to, you know? Pick out kid names? Already?"
[22:43] <Kotono> "Yes," Polly answers instantly.
01[22:43] <Seira> "Ah. Congratulations!"
[22:43] <Demedais> "Not unless I-" A look to Pollyanna. "Apparently yes, bu- wait, what?"
[22:44] <Alicia> "Pollyanna, you should have said so!" Alicia blurts out, swimming over. "This is no place for a woman in your condition - I'll take you home right now! There's no telling what effect all this wild magic could be having!"
01[22:44] <Seira> "It's harmless! I checked and stuff!"
[22:44] <Kotono> "...no, not that!" Turning very red, "I just meant..." Suddenly looking between everyone, "I didn't mean that at all!"
[22:45] <Alicia> "Even then, what if she gets hurt?" Alicia looks reproachfully over to Seira, before pausing and tilting her head at Pollyanna. "You didn't mean it?" she repeats questioningly.
[22:45] <Kotono> "No, I meant that...I meant that we...nevermind." Blushing horribly now, "I just meant that it wasn't a bad time to think about child names when were talkinga bout names."
06[22:46] * Demedais exhales slightly, before rubbing the back of his neck. "Right. So back to names for the snake? Yoshi work for now, I guess?"
[22:46] <Alicia> "Sorry," Alicia looks abashed at having caused such embarrassment, backing off. "Anyway, shall we head back down the tunnel?" she suggests briskly, moving towards it.
01[22:46] <Seira> "Alright!" Seira says quickly, switching to draconic. "Yoshi, lead the way!"
[22:47] <Kotono> "Let's," Donald takes point! Proceeding back without incident, you reach the main juncture once more. Yoshi stops here, biting off a mouthful of eye-coral and swallowing it whole.
01[22:48] <Seira> "Here?" Seira asks Yoshi, unsure whether they stopped just to eat something or something could lie behind the corals.
[22:48] <Kotono> It eats a few other bites, "Food," it murmurs, and then looks to the north-northwestern passage. "End."
01[22:49] <Seira> "Well, that's where we need to go, then," Seira says, letting others take point for as long as Yoshi's near her.
06[22:50] * Alicia swims off in the indicated direction.
06[22:50] * Demedais nods, going with the group.
[22:51] <Kotono> Yoshi takes one more bite of coral as the party continues on! You swim down the u and go past it's bend! Upwards is a curved chute, the water ebbing and stopping after about 20 feet. Here the passage reaches a V point, but the way ahead adn downward is stopped by an old, rusty metal slab. Some sort of writing covers it.
06[22:52] * Seira decides to examine the writings!
[22:53] <Kotono> Coming out of the water, Seira finds that it's gnomish writing. They're old wards long since having lost power, as well as CONTROL BASE 4 OUTER RING enscribed.
06[22:54] * Demedais exits the water as well, examining it. "Control Base 4. This would be it, or at least part of it."
01[22:54] <Seira> "Pretty much," Seira agrees. "Wards are long dead, too."
[22:54] <Kotono> "Can you open it," Donald gets out of the water, shaking his hair dry.
06[22:54] * Alicia gladly clambers out of the water and attempts to shake herself dry a bit. "Hopefully it's dry inside as well."
06[22:55] * Demedais nods slightly. "Get just inside, take a bit to dry off, and use this as a base for exploration?"
06[22:55] * Seira leaves Yoshi in Amaryl's care and checks the door for a locking mechanism of some sort.
[22:55] <Kotono> OOC: Make a search check?
01[22:56] <Seira> roll 1d20+25
06[22:56] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+25 and gets 27." [1d20=2]
01[22:57] <Seira> "Lagann, we need to open this by force," Seira says, stepping back.
06[22:57] * Alicia decides to go back into the water while Seira does that...
[22:58] <Kotono> Donald follows suit, "You know, Seira, before you set that thing off. We're on a downward slope here. It that entire thing comes crashing down, we're going to all get a face ful of rusty steel."
06[22:59] * Demedais follows them back. "See Donald."
01[23:00] <Seira> "All I want is for Lagann to reshape the metal to make us a way in, like a small door."
06[23:01] * Seira pauses. "Maybe even reinforce the rest of it so it doesn't tumble down on us."

Corwin · March 28, 2012, 03:07:54 PM

[19:17] <Kotono> <Seira> "Pretty much," Seira agrees. "Wards are long dead, too."
[19:17] <Kotono> > "Can you open it," Donald gets out of the water, shaking his hair dry.
[19:17] <Kotono> * Alicia gladly clambers out of the water and attempts to shake herself dry a bit. "Hopefully it's dry inside as well."
[19:17] <Kotono> * Demedais nods slightly. "Get just inside, take a bit to dry off, and use this as a base for exploration?"
[19:17] <Kotono> * Seira leaves Yoshi in Amaryl's care and checks the door for a locking mechanism of some sort.
[19:17] <Kotono> > OOC: Make a search check?
[19:17] <Kotono> <Seira> roll 1d20+25
[19:17] <Kotono> * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+25 and gets 27." [1d20=2]
[19:17] <Kotono> <Seira> "Lagann, we need to open this by force," Seira says, stepping back.
[19:17] <Kotono> * Alicia decides to go back into the water while Seira does that...
[19:17] <Kotono> > Donald follows suit, "You know, Seira, before you set that thing off. We're on a downward slope here. It that entire thing comes crashing down, we're going to all get a face ful of rusty steel."
[19:17] <Kotono> * Demedais follows them back. "See Donald."
[19:17] <Kotono> <Seira> "All I want is for Lagann to reshape the metal to make us a way in, like a small door."
[19:17] <Kotono> * Seira pauses. "Maybe even reinforce the rest of it so it doesn't tumble down on us."
[19:18] <Kotono> So willing, Seira has Lagann work on the heavy iron door! The rusty metal half crumbles as a human sized door forms in it, the rest of it groaning but holding in place!
01[19:19] <Seira> "Good enough for me!" Seira announces, proceeding cautiously through the opening.
[19:19] <Alicia> With the path safely opened, Alicia climbs back out of the water, shakes herself off once more, and follows Seira.
[19:20] <Kotono> Ahead, the V slope doesn't descent. Instead it abruptly meets old, worked stone floor. Ahead is a small chamber, maybe twenty feet wide and thirty long. It ends in an elevator, close topped and waiting.
06[19:20] * Demedais lets Alicia and Seira taking the lead, keeping five feet behind the other three as he peers about.
[19:21] <Demedais> "This looks like a decent place to have a camp set up once we're done exploring for the day. Assuming, of course, the lift doesn't backfire when we try to use it."
06[19:21] * Seira checks the elevator for traps, before proceeding towards it!
[19:21] <Demedais> roll 1d20+31
06[19:21] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+31 and gets 45." [1d20=14]
[19:21] <Kotono> OOC: Search then, Seira?
01[19:21] <Seira> roll 1d20+25
06[19:21] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+25 and gets 35." [1d20=10]
[19:22] <Alicia> "Ahh, gnomish elevator, we meet again," Alicia opines dryly.
[19:22] <Kotono> Donald shudders, "In the name of Lathander, I hope we don't end up in another blizzard."
01[19:23] <Seira> "They look like really cheap construction," Seira agrees, "but then you realize they were all made thousands of years ago and had zero upkeep, and suddenly they become awesome!"
[19:23] <Kotono> "The gnomes know to make things durable. I saw that axe Rods carried around. That was made by the gnomes and it's still a vicious weapon," Pollyanna trots along behind Demedais.
[19:23] <Demedais> "Hold on a second." Demedais says, walking over to within 15 feet of the shadowy corner as he continues to look. "There's a crevasse here. Wonder if it leads somewhere?"
06[19:24] * Alicia wanders over to take a look down the crevasse.
[19:24] <Kotono> In the corner is a slight overlap of stone. It's exceedingly subtle and smooth, but it hides a tiny crevasse in the wall. It would take some squeezing and hard work, but one could squeeze through it and follow it. Notably, the stone inside isn't natural - it's very old but it's smootha nd worked.
[19:26] <Alicia> "Gnomes were a lot smaller than us, but considering most of their structures seem built for a human to walk around easily you don't really notice much," Alicia observes as she peers down the crevasse. "How about the lift? Does it look safe to you, Seira?"
[19:27] <Kotono> "I have some training in escaping bonds and squeezing into hard places," Pollyanna trots along, "I can get in there if no one else can."
01[19:27] <Seira> "Yeah. I could probably also--" Seira pauses, and looks at Pollyanna longer than perhaps necessary.
[19:29] <Demedais> "Odd." Demedais muses, looking at the crevasse. "I can prepare a few spells that'll make its exploration easier, as well. Perhaps we should wait until later, then?"
01[19:30] <Seira> "But why?" Seira asks curiously. "It's way too early to rest! And Alicia should have that spell handy, too, if no one else."
[19:30] <Alicia> "I could turn into a mephit or something and explore it easily enough," Alicia shrugs. "For now lets try the lift so we all stick together, though? We can come back here later."
[19:31] <Demedais> "I was going to suggest the lift, yes, Seira." Demedais nods.
01[19:33] <Seira> "Elevator of doom it is, then," Seira declares, stepping on its surface.
06[19:34] * Demedais moves on as well, grasping the cord attaching it as usual.
06[19:34] * Alicia heads on after Seira, keeping the spell of feather fall in mind in case it's needed.
[19:36] <Kotono> Thus the party moves into the elevator! Indeed, there is a simple pull cord to move it down. It waits to be yanked, perhaps to send heroes into the ruins...or perhaps to doom?
[19:36] <Alicia> Trusting Seira's appraisal of the elevator's functionality, Alicia gives the cord a tug.
[19:37] <Kotono> The elevator moves down! It slowly goes down, a faint creak as it does so. However, the trip is smooth...for a little bit. But abruptly, the elevator stops.
[19:37] <Kotono> OOC: GAh.
[19:38] <Kotono> The elevator moves down! It slowly goes down, a faint creak as it does so. However, the trip is smooth...for a little bit. But abruptly, the elevator stops. You are between walls, the party all crowded into the elevator. No exit is visible.
06[19:39] * Seira gives the mechanism another check, in case she missed something earlier!
01[19:39] <Seira> roll 1d20+25
06[19:39] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+25 and gets 33." [1d20=8]
[19:39] <Alicia> "Oh, lovely... and not even an escape hatch or trapdoor..." Alicia looks up and down. "Well, do we either risk cutting hole out or do we risk teleporting out?"
[19:39] <Kotono> It's a simple level to use the elevator. It looks to have been activated as per normal, though anyone who say Alicia tug it could say that.
[19:40] <Demedais> "I cut a hole in the corner, boost Seira through?" Demedais shrugs.
01[19:40] <Seira> "You have feather fall ready, right?" Seira asks Alicia, hand on the lever. "We can just try to use it again and see what happens."
[19:40] <Kotono> Foosh! In a moment, both side walls vanish! There are ten foot long and wide recesses on each wall! Each one has a single creature in it - made of black matte metal, skulled shaped head and the size of a human! WIthout a word, the strange metal creatures are advancing on you!
[19:41] <Alicia> "If you like," Alicia nods to Seira. "The spell seems to work well enough even with the... oh," Alicia stops. "Well, now. I doubt they're friendly..." she draws her sword in a smooth movement.
06[19:41] * Demedais quickly sheathes the spear for the sword here. "How lovely. I guess the elevator was a trap."
[19:42] <Kotono> "Ah damn. Stay between us, girls!" Donald calls over hsi shoulder to Amaryl. "We can protect you from both sides if needed!" OOC: Let's do init, since yeah, trappings.
01[19:42] <Seira> Resort drawn, Seira grins. "You're just in time, my defensive spell was about to run out!" she announces cheerfully to the no-doubt nasty protectors.
[19:42] <Alicia> roll 1d20+8
06[19:42] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+8 and gets 9." [1d20=1]

06[19:42] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+2 D and gets 8." [1d20=6]
[19:42] <Kotono> roll 1d20+3 Iron 1
06[19:42] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+3 Iron 1 and gets 15." [1d20=12]
[19:42] <Kotono> roll 1d20+3 Iron 2
06[19:42] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+3 Iron 2 and gets 22." [1d20=19]
[19:43] <Kotono> roll 1d20+7 ????1
06[19:43] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+7 ????1 and gets 21." [1d20=14]
[19:43] <Kotono> roll 1d20+7 ????2
06[19:43] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+7 ????2 and gets 19." [1d20=12]

06[19:43] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+7 ????3 and gets 25." [1d20=18]
[19:43] <Kotono> roll 1d20+7 ????4
06[19:43] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+7 ????4 and gets 9." [1d20=2]
03[19:43] * Kotono changes topic to 'Polly(25)>Deme(13)>Amaryl(10)>Alicia(9)'
03[19:45] * Kotono changes topic to 'Polly(25)=????3>Iron Man 2(22)>????1(21)>????2(19)>Seira(17)>Iron man 1(15)>Deme(13)>Amaryl(10)>Alicia(9)=????4>Donald(8)'
[19:45] <Kotono> Pollyanna immediately positions behind Demedais, shooting at the first one while using Demedais as safe cover!
[19:45] <Kotono> roll 1d20+18
[19:45] <Kotono> roll 1d20+18
06[19:45] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+18 and gets 34." [1d20=16]
06[19:45] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+18 and gets 29." [1d20=11]
[19:45] <Kotono> roll 1d20+13
06[19:45] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+13 and gets 24." [1d20=11]

06[19:46] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d8+12+1d6 and gets 22." [1d8=5][1d6=5]
[19:48] <Kotono> The creature has most of the arrows bounce off it's matte black construction, but one manages to drive a flaming bolt into what passes for it's hand, a long tapered claw! A moment later, a howling voice is heard! It appears right at Alicia's side, reaching up through the floor with only it's midbody visible! It looks more or less like a ghostly elf, groaning as it tries to touch her!
[19:48] <Kotono> roll 1d20+6 touch AC flatfooted, Alicia?
06[19:48] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+6 touch AC flatfooted, Alicia? and gets 24." [1d20=18]

[19:48] <Kotono> roll 1d8 and 2 negative levels
06[19:48] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d8 and 2 negative levels and gets 7." [1d8=7]
[19:49] <Kotono> The touch gets Alicia before she can react! It weakens her very spirit, as if her life force was stolen away! The second iron man pounces forward, going to engage Donald brashly!
[19:49] <Kotono> roll 1d20+20
06[19:49] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+20 and gets 24." [1d20=4]
[19:50] <Kotono> roll 2d6+7
06[19:50] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 2d6+7 and gets 14." [2d6=5, 2]
[19:51] <Alicia> "Ahhh!" Alicia cries in surprise, her spirit sapped away at. "Their touch drains the lifeforce! Everyone stay close, I'll have to get us out of here or else we won't be able to leave at all!"
[19:51] <Kotono> Donald almost moves fast enough to block the blow, but the black metalman clubs him in the arm instead! He grimaces, sword lashing out as it flares with arcane fire! A split second later, another howling ghost appears, this time at Pollyanna's side and above her, reaching downa t her head depsite the ceiling bisecting it's ghostly body!
[19:51] <Kotono> roll 1d20+7 touch
06[19:51] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+7 touch and gets 10." [1d20=3]

[19:52] <Kotono> Pollyanna is already moving, diving to Deme's side and brandishing her bow in defense, "Dammit! Undead! Can you drive them off, Deme?" A third then appears, this one menacing Donald, appearing next to the black metal man!
[19:52] <Kotono> roll 1d20+6 sorry, -1 to the polly roll though it doesn't matter
06[19:52] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+6 sorry, -1 to the polly roll though it doesn't matter and gets 11." [1d20=5]
[19:53] <Kotono> Guardianil glows white, the hand of the ghostly creature repulsed away from Donald's face! OOC: Seira.

[19:54] <Demedais> "I can try...!" Demedais grimaces. "Better than nothing, at least!"
[19:54] <Alicia> OOC: +3 on turning checks thanks to consecrated presence
01[19:55] <Seira> "Right!" Seira calls back to Alicia. "Amaryl, draw towards Alicia and try the Sun Blade to clear the enemies around her!" For her part, she's near enough to try and destroy the undead menaching Alicia!
01[19:55] <Seira> roll 1d20+19
06[19:55] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+19 and gets 38." [1d20=19]

06[19:56] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 3d8+9+1d6+2 and gets 29." [3d8=2, 6, 7][1d6=3]
[19:57] <Kotono> Seira is able to tear twice into the ghost, ripping it's undead flesh and weakening it! The elf howls in pain and misery, "Free...us..." it manages, even while menacing Alicia! OOC: Iron man 1 is up.
[19:58] <Kotono> The first iron man advances on Demedais, striking him plain and hard! It's body makes no movement, metal smooth and well kept despite the years!
[19:58] <Kotono> roll 1d20+20 flatfooted, Deme?
06[19:58] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+20 flatfooted, Deme? and gets 33." [1d20=13]
[19:58] <Demedais> OOC: 36.
[19:58] <Kotono> Demedais watches as his armor absorbs the blow, the shock dispersed and negated! OOC: Deme.
[19:59] <Kotono> "Ah!" Amaryl clutches the sunblade, "No! Go away! Not again!"
06[19:59] * Demedais quickly pulls the holy symbol from his belt! "Helm, protect our mission and repel the accursed undead so we may regroup!"
[19:59] <Demedais> roll 1d20+7
06[19:59] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+7 and gets 9." [1d20=2]
[20:00] <Kotono> OOC: What's your cleric level for turning?
[20:00] <Demedais> OOC: Normally 9. With that roll, 8.
[20:00] <Demedais> Er.
[20:00] <Demedais> OOC: 8, with that, 7.
[20:01] <Kotono> The ghostly creatures howl in agony, but none are bidden back by Demedais' display of sacred power! Amaryl steps to Alicia, hacking at the undead horror that menaces her! "GO AWAY!"
[20:01] <Demedais> OOC: Putting up Protection Devotion.
[20:01] <Kotono> OOC: Okay, right.
[20:02] <Kotono> roll 1d20+12

[20:05] <Kotono> The Sun Blade stabs through the spirit, vaporizing it like a grease spot under a cleaning cantrip! "Free..." It's voice lingers a moment after! OOC: Alicia.
[20:06] <Alicia> "This better work," Alicia mutters before sweeping her free hand in an expansive manner to take in the whole group. "Paths of the Weave, take us away!" she incants, intending to teleport everyone to the jungle temple they arrived at this morning.
[20:06] <Alicia> OOC: CL check?
[20:06] <Kotono> OOC: Yes.
[20:06] <Alicia> roll 1d20+16
06[20:06] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+16 and gets 36." [1d20=20]
[20:07] <Alicia> roll 1d100 studied carefully
06[20:07] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d100 studied carefully and gets 23." [1d100=23]
[20:07] <Kotono> Woosh! IN that moment, the party is gone! The ghosts are gone, everything is gone! The stairs to the temple are behind you, the river ahead roaring. No carryon ghosts or steel men here, just safety.
[20:08] <Kotono> OOC: Free act.
[20:08] <Kotono> OOC: Does a negative level reduce your CL check? Irrelevant here, though.
06[20:08] * Seira drops her sword and glomps onto Amaryl. "You were great!" she exclaims happily.
[20:08] <Alicia> OOC: sorry, my bad
[20:08] <Kotono> "Damn..." Donald sheathes his blade, "I didn't move fast enough to cut that damned hunk of metal apart."
[20:09] <Kotono> Amaryl leans into Seira, "They're gone?" she asks, shaking all over.
01[20:09] <Seira> "Yes! And you freed another one of them!"
[20:09] <Demedais> "Right." Demedais says, walking over to Alicia and using a restoration on her. "I'll prepare to try and deal with undead as well, then."
[20:09] <Kotono> "Live to fight another day," Pollyanna smiles, "Good thinking. We were all sitting ducks in that elevator."
06[20:09] * Alicia sighs and puts her sword away, her hands shaking a little. "That was my last teleport, I had to use it since another hit from those spectres would've left us trapped there. We can return tomorrow once we're rested."
06[20:10] * Alicia perks up a bit at Demedais's healing, colour returning to her cheeks. "Thank you, Demedais," she smiles.
[20:12] <Kotono> The night passes in peace and rest. Recovery is had, the next morning dawning. Donald grumps, washing his face with the fast moving river water. "So, are we ready now to go deal with that trap?" OOC: Reply only when you have spells in order. Go ahead and set any buffs you'd liek.
01[20:14] <Seira> "Always!" Seira returns brightly, casting a few spells in preparation.
[20:14] <Kotono> "Yeah," Pollyanna is finishing off her breakfast, tearing through some jerky and dried fruit. "Does anyone have a dagger or a short sword or the like I can use, in case I get caught in close somewher elike that again?"
01[20:15] <Seira> "Archery's probably best for you, actually," Seira muses. "Amaryl is a special case, with that sword."
[20:15] <Alicia> "I'll teleport us back to the entrance room, since the lift is no place for us to fight properly," Alicia explains. "We could even cut the cable to send it crashing down and hopefully destroy that golem that climbed aboard to attack Demedais, then climb or fly down at our own pace."
[20:15] <Alicia> At Pollyanna's words she unbuckles the sword of the sealed gate from her belt and offers it hilt first to the archer. "It's a longsword, but it's a good one."
[20:16] <Kotono> "If I'm so close I can't dodge, archery might get me killed," Pollyanna swings the sword a few times, "It has a good weight to it. Thanks, Alicia."
[20:17] <Demedais> "Alright, so we're going to try a teleport directly to that spot in the ruins?" Demedais asks as he finishes cleaning up the tents.
[20:17] <Alicia> "If anyone wants I can enchant their weapons to make them strike more truly before we leave?" Alicia offers. "Hopefully I won't need to expend so many spells on dispelling attempts today."
[20:18] <Demedais> "I'm going to enchant my own. It won't be as good, I'll admit, but my magic is less likely to work there than yours; using what I can here's the wiser bet." Demedais notes.
[20:19] <Kotono> "I already did the same to mine," Donald taps the hilt of his sword, "Thanks, though. Unless you really wanna touch my sword?" Donald asks Alicia with a big old grin.
01[20:19] <Seira> "Works on bows, right?" Seira asks, offering her own to Alicia. "I'd appreciate it, if you could, then."
06[20:20] * Seira then kicks Donald in the shin.
[20:20] <Kotono> "Ow!" Donald's grin turns into an 'oh' face as he hops on one leg, holding his shin, "Gaaah! Less kicking, Seira! You kick like a mule!"
06[20:20] * Seira kicks him again.
[20:21] <Alicia> "Please, Donald, remember who gave it to you. I had a lot more fun with your sword before you ever laid hands on it," Alicia tells Donald before looking askance at Seira. "Do you even use that bow at all?" she asks oddly, wondering why she'd want it enchanted.
01[20:21] <Seira> "I want to try out a new spell."
06[20:22] * Alicia shrugs. "Well, alright. Lady of Mysteries, watch over this weapon and guide its strikes true," she incants, waving her hand over the offered bow.
01[20:22] <Seira> "Thanks! I'm sure it'll be lots of fun!"
[20:23] <Demedais> "It's like training with the mercenaries in my youth again, except with ninety five percent less cursing." Demedais comments to Pollyanna.
[20:24] <Kotono> "Hehheeh. Well, damn," Pollyanna puts the sword of the sealed gate to her hip, "I'm ready to go when you are, then. You know, you should tell us more stories about that when we have time."
[20:25] <Alicia> "Alright, now remember we not only have the wild magic to deal with, I didn't really get to spend that long in there, so we might land off target," Alicia warns. "Everyone ready?"
[20:25] <Demedais> "For the most part, it wasn't terribly exciting." Demedais shrugs. "Jovial, though. And yeah, I'm ready."
[20:26] <Kotono> roll 1d20+1
06[20:26] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+1 and gets 11." [1d20=10]
[20:28] <Alicia> "Alright, here we go," Alicia gathers everyone around and then teleports to the chamber just past the door Seira opened with Lagann.
[20:29] <Alicia> roll 1d100 seen once
06[20:29] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d100 seen once and gets 91." [1d100=91]
[20:29] <Alicia> OOC: similar area
[20:30] <Kotono> Alicia casts...but the spell fizzles out, doing nothing.
06[20:30] * Alicia frowns a bit. "Had this happen before when I tried to teleport to El Mysha," she observes with a frown. "Let me try again..."
[20:31] <Alicia> roll 1d100 76-
06[20:31] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d100 76- and gets 4." [1d100=4]
[20:31] <Kotono> OOC: Caster level check.
[20:31] <Alicia> OOC: CL check?
[20:31] <Alicia> roll 1d20+16
06[20:31] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+16 and gets 30." [1d20=14]
[20:31] <Kotono> Woosh! The party appears in the chamber with the elevator without incident. The elevator seems to have returned to the top floor, waiting to be used again. Nothing seems to be wrong or dangerous offhand.
[20:32] <Demedais> "And yet we know they're lurking down there." Demedais grimaces.
[20:33] <Alicia> "Some of them came from above. Lets send it down and wait here?" Alicia suggests.
[20:33] <Kotono> "We could go down waiting to fight them, or try the hidden passage," Amaryl shrinks down and to herself, staying close to Seira.
01[20:33] <Seira> "We could just try using it again," Seira muses, "rather than cutting it loose. We're prepared, right?"
[20:34] <Alicia> "There's not much space in the lift, we can't really fight properly all bunched up in there," Alicia shakes her head. "If we send it down and wait here we might attract some ghosts, we can deal with them first then go down ourselves to handle the golems and any remaining spectres."
[20:34] <Demedais> "That sounds more optimal, yes." Demedais nods after a moment.
[20:35] <Kotono> "Use mage hand to pull it," Donald suggests, "So no one risks being trapped in it?"
01[20:35] <Seira> "Or Lagann could!"
[20:37] <Alicia> "It's not metal, and mage hand doesn't actually work that way," Alicia observes, walking over. "I'll just lean in and pull it." She then does so, pulling her arm back quickly after tugging on the cord and standing safely outside the elevator.
[20:38] <Kotono> Alicia tugs the cord hard! The elevator goes down, the party not with it!
06[20:39] * Alicia then flaps her wings, flying a few feet off the ground with her sword ready, so any ghosts reaching through the floor won't catch her by surprise so readily.
06[20:39] * Seira waits happily by Alicia's side, bow in hand.
06[20:39] * Demedais waits about fifteen seconds before triggering his protection devotion, spear out as he keeps alert for any ghosts emerging.
[20:40] <Kotono> The elevator vanishes into the deep pit. You can't see that far down, past sixty feet. But nothing seems to happen. The time trickles by, no ommediate swarm of ghosts rising up.
[20:41] <Demedais> "... Well then." Demedais muses.
01[20:41] <Seira> "The trap really wants to be triggered the right way," Seira observes. "Let's give it a try? Now that we know what's there, we'll totally kick their ass!"
[20:42] <Alicia> "Maybe it doesn't trigger if it doesn't sense any weight on the lift?" Alicia wonders. "How long until it resets, though?"
01[20:42] <Seira> "Let's see if it returns in a minute?"
[20:43] <Kotono> The party waits a minute. Sure enough, the elevator returns up, settling back into place without incident.
06[20:43] * Seira steps inside, trading the bow in for the Resort, however regretfully.
06[20:44] * Alicia steps inside as well and goes to the far end, ready to step onto the hidden passage once the lift stops so she'll have more room to swing her blades around.
[20:44] <Kotono> "It's probably rigged up to only work in it's defined instances. As far as a trap goes, that's a pretty good one," Grumbling with resignation as well, drawing the sword of the sealed gate, "Bastards."
06[20:44] * Seira decides to stick near the cord, and waves Amaryl over.
06[20:44] * Demedais nods and gets on with a shrug. "Pretty much. So let's defeat the defined instances."
[20:45] <Kotono> Amaryl stays next to Seira as she enters. Donald goes for the wall opposite Alicia, sword drawn. "Exactly. We'll kick their metal asses from here to Friday."
06[20:45] * Seira calls upon Stoneskin, and pulls the cord once everyone is in!
[20:45] <Kotono> OOC: CL check for stoneskin?
01[20:45] <Seira> roll 1d20+15
06[20:45] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+15 and gets 20." [1d20=5]
[20:45] <Kotono> OOC: d100.
01[20:46] <Seira> roll 1d100
06[20:46] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d100 and gets 6." [1d100=6]
[20:46] <Kotono> The magic of the boots surges! The power envelopes the entire party, toughening all of them! OOC: Stoneskin, as per the boots, aeffects all of you.
[20:47] <Demedais> "...that was interesting."
06[20:47] * Alicia blinks as her skin adopts a marbled hue from the spell. "Er... well, that's helpful, I suppose?"
01[20:47] <Seira> "Magic! I love it!"
[20:48] <Kotono> "That was...this will protect us?" Pollyanna looks at her protected hands, "That wasn't normal, was it?"
[20:48] <Demedais> "Nope. Usually just affects her." Demedais grins slightly. "Well, I guess we're ready?"
06[20:48] * Seira pulls on the cord again, wondering whether it's broken.
[20:49] <Kotono> With the cord pulled, the party goes down! A minute passes as it descends as it does last time, stopping at just the same moment!
06[20:49] * Demedais is prepared with sword out again, waiting for the ghosties and the skeletonies!
06[20:50] * Seira calls upon Haste!
[20:50] <Kotono> OOC: CL again.
01[20:50] <Seira> roll 1d20+16

06[20:50] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d100 and gets 58." [1d100=58]
06[20:51] * Alicia tenses to jump onto the ledge and do battle with the golem as soon as the side wall vanishes again.
[20:52] <Kotono> As Seira casts, haste does not happen! Instead the time magic swirls into a being of numbers off a clock's face! It's medium sized, right in the middle of the party! As this happens, the walls vanish! The two steel soldiers are there, ready to attack and advancing! OOC: Shit just hit fan. Init.
[20:52] <Kotono> roll 1d20+12 time creature

06[20:57] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 2d6+8 A and hasted as per the spell at your CL and gets 12." [2d6=2, 2]
[20:57] <Alicia> "Oh, Mystra, couldn't it have just been butterflies again?!" Alicia exclaims in alarm as the latest wild magic calamity makes its presence felt.
[20:58] <Kotono> The slams are largely negated by Stoneskin, the affecteffects leaving the two women feeling blazingly fast! OOC: Alicia.
01[20:58] <Seira> "Oh screw you!" Seira snaps. "I'm one of the strongest mages in the world! Either play nice and I fix things, or I send you back in pieces!"
06[20:59] * Alicia decides to focus on the golems for now, since they need to spread out to fight properly anyway. Jumping over onto the passage, she lashes out with Hell Striker to carve through its midsection!
[20:59] <Kotono> "The spell...is alive...again?" Donald groans, "And now they're bitching at us! Seira, just kill it!"
[20:59] <Alicia> OOC: what knowledge for devotion?
[20:59] <Kotono> OOC: Arcnaa.
[20:59] <Alicia> roll 1d20+11
06[20:59] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+11 and gets 22." [1d20=11]

06[21:01] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d8+23+1d6+1d6 and gets 36." [1d8=7][1d6=3][1d6=3]
[21:01] <Kotono> roll 1d6
06[21:01] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d6 and gets 3." [1d6=3]
[21:02] <Kotono> Alicia is able to rip into the golem, dislocating much of it's arm! Pollyanna's previous arrow wound is still there as well, no signs of it beign repaired! A moment later, a ghost appears! It's above Demedais, elven hands lookint to strangle him!
[21:02] <Kotono> roll 1d20+5 touch ac and flatfooted, deme?
06[21:02] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+5 touch ac and flatfooted, deme? and gets 9." [1d20=4]
[21:02] <Demedais> OOC: Touch is 17, flatfooted 36.
[21:02] <Kotono> OOC: Touch with flatfooted into account, but yeah, it's a miss anyway with a 9.
01[21:03] <Seira> "Amaryl, ghosts are our first priority!" Seira exclaims, hoping that her blade would strike true!
[21:03] <Kotono> Demedais pivots, the hand deflecting away from his body with pure force! OOC: Amaryl.
[21:03] <Kotono> Amaryl steps forward, eyes wide as she depserately strikes at the ghostly creature!
[21:03] <Kotono> roll 1d20+20
06[21:03] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+20 and gets 38." [1d20=18]

[21:04] <Kotono> OOC: STrike that one.
[21:04] <Kotono> roll 2d10+16
06[21:04] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 2d10+16 and gets 29." [2d10=6, 7]
[21:04] <Kotono> Amaryl manages one blow, sunlight making the appariation groan in pain and recoil from her blade! OOC: DEme.
[21:05] <Demedais> "Oh. Hi, sorry we summoned you into some vessel somehow, this place doesn't let magic work right at all." Demedais comments quickly, attention on the ghost as he proceeds to try and hack it to shreds!
[21:05] <Demedais> roll 1d20+20 (+1 Haste +1 GMW -5 PA)
06[21:05] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+20 (+1 Haste +1 GMW -5 PA) and gets 36." [1d20=16]

06[21:06] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+10 (+1 Haste +1 GMW -5 PA) and gets 13." [1d20=3]
[21:06] <Kotono> OOC: Three hit. D100 on each hit.
[21:06] <Kotono> OOC: And wait, yeah, see #elysium.
[21:06] <Demedais> OOC: Strike the second attack, I'm braindead, no haste was intended. 17 still it.
[21:07] <Kotono> OOC: Yes. Two hits then.
[21:07] <Demedais> roll 1d100 hit 1
06[21:07] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d100 hit 1 and gets 3." [1d100=3]
[21:07] <Demedais> roll 1d100 hit 2
06[21:07] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d100 hit 2 and gets 86." [1d100=86]
[21:07] <Kotono> OOC: One hit.
[21:07] <Demedais> roll 2d6+24
06[21:07] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 2d6+24 and gets 30." [2d6=2, 4]

[21:08] <Kotono> Ripping into it's body, the ghost fades, "The pain...it's fading..." It cries in relief! Pollyanna cautiously approaches the side of the metalman with Alicia, stabbing at it's side probingly!
[21:08] <Kotono> roll 1d20+16
06[21:08] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+16 and gets 34." [1d20=18]
[21:09] <Kotono> roll 1d8+4
06[21:09] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d8+4 and gets 8." [1d8=4]
[21:09] <Kotono> The blow isn't strong enough, just bouncing off it's metallic skin and doing no good for the heroes at all! OOC: Seira.
[21:10] <Kotono> "Gah! It's like striking, well...steel!" Pollyanna calls, "I can't even dent it!"
06[21:10] * Seira spares her living spell a glance. "I'm Seira," she tells it. "If you want to follow me into battle, I'll forgive that attack. Persist, and it's to oblivion with you!" Waiting on his response, Seira pounces on their metallic opponent!
01[21:11] <Seira> roll 1d20+20
06[21:11] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+20 and gets 21." [1d20=1]
[21:11] <Kotono> Seira's blow is far too misaimed, glancing off the steely man and cutting the air! The second one moves into battle, going after Donald!
[21:11] <Kotono> roll 1d20+20
06[21:11] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+20 and gets 21." [1d20=1]
[21:12] <Kotono> But it's own blow misses, Donald deflecting it away with a quick flick of his wrist, blade narrowly missing Demedais head in the backswing! He then focuses, arcane fire jumping from his blade! "Bye!"
[21:14] <Kotono> roll 1d20+25 (+1 GMW, +3 arcane strike, level 3 and level 2 spell used.)
06[21:14] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+25 (+1 GMW, +3 arcane strike, level 3 and level 2 spell used.) and gets 37." [1d20=12]

[21:15] <Kotono> roll 1d10+8+5d4
06[21:15] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d10+8+5d4 and gets 29." [1d10=9][5d4=4, 3, 1, 2, 2]
[21:16] <Kotono> Donald hacks into it's body with arcane fire, but it proves stupendously tough! Even with that, his blade only hacks in so far, a strong blow turning into only a minor bit of damage!
[21:16] <Kotono> roll 1d6
06[21:16] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d6 and gets 5." [1d6=5]
[21:16] <Kotono> A moment later, a ghost appears beneath Seira, pawing at her legs!
[21:16] <Kotono> roll 1d20+5
06[21:16] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+5 and gets 19." [1d20=14]
[21:16] <Kotono> OOC: Touch AC?
01[21:17] <Seira> OOC: 22, even without shield/bracers of armor
[21:17] <Kotono> But Seira is able to dodge the blow! Then...
[21:17] <Kotono> roll 1d6
06[21:17] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d6 and gets 6." [1d6=6]
[21:17] <Kotono> A ghost appears at Donald's side, rising upf rom the ground!
[21:17] <Kotono> roll 1d20+5
06[21:17] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+5 and gets 14." [1d20=9]
[21:17] <Kotono> roll 1d8 and -2 negative levels. Ow.
06[21:18] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d8 and -2 negative levels. Ow. and gets 5." [1d8=5]
[21:19] <Kotono> The touch leaves Donald reeling, his cheeks ice blue! As he tries to recover, the surrounded first metal creature shimmers! As it strikes out twice, one at Pollyanna and once at Alicia, a crackling circular wave of black energy comes from it's body!
[21:19] <Kotono> roll 1d20+20 Alicia AC
06[21:19] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+20 Alicia AC and gets 23." [1d20=3]
[21:19] <Kotono> roll 1d20+20 Polly
06[21:19] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+20 Polly and gets 21." [1d20=1]

06[21:20] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+8 Polly and gets 17." [1d20=9]
[21:20] <Alicia> roll 1d20+24
06[21:20] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+24 and gets 43." [1d20=19]

06[21:20] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+17 Amaryl has a stunningly high fort save and gets 28." [1d20=11]
[21:21] <Alicia> OOC: AC 34
[21:21] <Kotono> roll 12d6 Polly and Donald take full, the rest of you take half. Unless you have mettle, then it's none.
06[21:21] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 12d6 Polly and Donald take full, the rest of you take half. Unless you have mettle, then it's none. and gets 36." [12d6=2, 2, 2, 1, 6, 3, 1, 2, 6, 1, 6, 4]
[21:21] <Alicia> OOC: 35, sorry
[21:22] <Kotono> The black energy spreads about! The two ghosts glow with it, becoming more intense and potent, while the living beings here feel weakened, sickened by the touch of the foul power! It's blows in the meantime miss, thankfully! OOC: Time being is up.
[21:23] <Kotono> "You dare command me and treat me trivially," It asks of Seira, gliding forward to strike at her! It tumbles past her guard with impossible timing, going to strike right at her!
[21:23] <Kotono> roll 1d20+18 AC, Seira?
06[21:23] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+18 AC, Seira? and gets 21." [1d20=3]
01[21:23] <Seira> OOC: 39!
[21:23] <Kotono> But it's heavy blow, for all it's power, is a miserable miss! OOC: Alicia.
01[21:24] <Seira> "I'm the one who summoned you, dammit!" Seira snaps at it. "Just think for yourself! Would you rather side with a party of Good and of mighty magics, or be on the same team as the undead? Look around you and see who you're supporting by attacking me!"
[21:24] <Alicia> "Vile construct! Fall into scrap!" Alicia calls as she hacks out, Hell Striker blazing with fire and thrumming with sonic energy as it carves through the golem's metal body like tissue paper!
[21:24] <Alicia> roll 1d20+26
06[21:24] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+26 and gets 41." [1d20=15]

[21:26] <Kotono> Alicia strikes hard as she can, sonic and flaming power nearly breaking the warrior apart! It's almost scrap now, about to crumble but barley holding it's metal body intact! Amaryl, meanwhile, goes for the ghost on Donald!
[21:27] <Kotono> roll 1d20+20

[21:28] <Kotono> The Sun Blade cuts into the spirit, it's body burning away in purifying sunlight! "The cold...it's finally warm..." It cries! OOC: Deme.
06[21:30] * Demedais steps over to the final ghost at this! "I'll deal with this ghost! Everyone else, focus on eliminating the constructs!" With this, Demedais uses three side-to-side slices to dispatch the ghost in front of him!

[21:33] <Kotono> With a lunge through the ghost's forgotten heart, Demedais sends the last to it's rest, "Sleepy..." it can be heard whispering, then it is gone! Pollyanna meanwhile defends herself! OOC: Polly's defending since she can't really deal with it's DR very well. Seira?
06[21:34] * Seira steps into a flanking position with Donald that the metal construct had helpfully allowed them to create, and infuses her body with fire before striking at it!

06[21:37] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 2d6+7 Donald, remember stone skin and gets 14." [2d6=4, 3]
[21:37] <Kotono> OOC: Fort all.
[21:37] <Demedais> roll 1d20+24
01[21:37] <Seira> roll 1d20+15
06[21:37] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+24 and gets 38." [1d20=14]
06[21:37] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+15 and gets 21." [1d20=6]
[21:37] <Kotono> roll 1d20+17 Amaryl
06[21:37] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+17 Amaryl and gets 37." [1d20=20]
[21:37] <Kotono> roll 1d20+8 Polly
06[21:37] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+8 Polly and gets 11." [1d20=3]
[21:37] <Alicia> roll 1d20+22
06[21:37] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+22 and gets 25." [1d20=3]
[21:37] <Alicia> OOC: +2 so 27
[21:38] <Kotono> roll 1d20+10 Donald
06[21:38] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+10 Donald and gets 22." [1d20=12]
[21:38] <Kotono> roll 12d6 everyone halves this except for Polly. Ow.
06[21:38] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 12d6 everyone halves this except for Polly. Ow. and gets 51." [12d6=5, 6, 2, 3, 6, 4, 6, 3, 1, 5, 6, 4]
03[21:39] * Kotono changes topic to 'Time Creature(29)>Alicia(25)>Amaryl(24)>Demedais(22)>Pollyanna(21)>Seira(20)>IM2(13)>Donald(11)'
[21:39] <Kotono> The black energy comes crashing down! It rips through everyone still living, a devastating strike! In particular, Pollyanna nearly collapses, buckling and slammed back to the nearest wall! Staggering off of it, wiping her mouth, "I'm still okay..." OOC: Donald's up.
01[21:39] <Seira> "Take it out!" Seira cheers Donald on.
[21:39] <Kotono> Donald growls in utter angerl, hacking into the metal-man fully!
[21:40] <Kotono> roll 1d20+25 (+3 arcane strike, 1 3rd and 2 1sts, +1 GWM, +2 flank, -2 levels)
06[21:40] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+25 (+3 arcane strike, 1 3rd and 2 1sts, +1 GWM, +2 flank, -2 levels) and gets 40." [1d20=15]
[21:40] <Kotono> roll 1d20+20
06[21:40] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+20 and gets 30." [1d20=10]
[21:40] <Kotono> roll 1d20+15
06[21:40] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+15 and gets 30." [1d20=15]
[21:40] <Kotono> roll 1d10+8+5d4
06[21:40] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d10+8+5d4 and gets 33." [1d10=10][5d4=3, 4, 3, 4, 1]
[21:41] <Kotono> Donald manages to nearly hack it's arm off in a burst of arcane fire fuelled fury, though he can't fully sever it, only slicing deep into it's metal joins and shoulder! OOC: Time creature is up.
[21:42] <Kotono> The time creature is not amused, for it slips along and hits Seira in the back, flanking with the metal man!
[21:42] <Kotono> roll 1d20+20
[21:42] <Kotono> roll 1d20+20
06[21:42] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+20 and gets 24." [1d20=4]
06[21:42] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+20 and gets 37." [1d20=17]
[21:42] <Kotono> OOC: AC?
01[21:42] <Seira> OOC: 39!
[21:42] <Kotono> It still can't land a decisive strike, instead missing by a narrow little margin against a field of force surrounding Seira's body! OOC: Alicia.
[21:43] <Alicia> The thing looks pretty ragged, so hopefully this will finish it off. Slipping around the golem's guard, Alicia's silvery blade flashes myriad times, scoring several decisive slashes through its body!
[21:43] <Alicia> roll 1d20+26
06[21:43] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+26 and gets 30." [1d20=4]
[21:43] <Alicia> roll 1d20+26
06[21:43] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+26 and gets 34." [1d20=8]
[21:43] <Alicia> roll 1d20+21
06[21:43] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+21 and gets 22." [1d20=1]
[21:43] <Alicia> roll 1d20+21
06[21:43] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+21 and gets 30." [1d20=9]
[21:43] <Alicia> roll 1d20+16
06[21:43] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+16 and gets 27." [1d20=11]
[21:43] <Alicia> roll 1d20+16
06[21:43] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+16 and gets 33." [1d20=17]
[21:44] <Kotono> OOC: Two hits. I'll just have it hit you now and call it even.
[21:44] <Kotono> roll 1d20+20
[21:44] <Kotono> roll 1d20+20
06[21:44] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+20 and gets 31." [1d20=11]
06[21:44] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+20 and gets 37." [1d20=17]
[21:44] <Kotono> OOC: AC?
[21:44] <Alicia> OOC: 35
[21:44] <Kotono> roll 2d6+7
06[21:44] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 2d6+7 and gets 17." [2d6=5, 5]
[21:44] <Kotono> OOC: Anyway, roll damage?
[21:45] <Alicia> roll 2d8+28+2d6+2d6
06[21:45] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 2d8+28+2d6+2d6 and gets 49." [2d8=3, 6][2d6=3, 2][2d6=6, 1]
[21:45] <Kotono> With a final blow, Alicia cuts the metal man into a hunk of scrap! It collapes on itself, it's skull head bouncing on the floor and landing at Demedais' feet! Yet as it does, it lands a heavy blow on Alicia's shoulder with it's last delayed gasp! OOC: Amaryl.
[21:46] <Kotono> Amaryl backs off, going for the time creature flanking Seira's back! "Seira, I have it!"
[21:46] <Kotono> roll 1d20+23 (+2 flank, +1 haste)
[21:46] <Kotono> roll 1d20+23 (+2 flank, +1 haste)
06[21:46] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+23 (+2 flank, +1 haste) and gets 41." [1d20=18]
06[21:46] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+23 (+2 flank, +1 haste) and gets 37." [1d20=14]
[21:46] <Kotono> roll 1d20+18
06[21:46] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+18 and gets 32." [1d20=14]
[21:47] <Kotono> roll 3d10+24
06[21:47] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 3d10+24 and gets 44." [3d10=7, 9, 4]
[21:47] <Kotono> Amaryl stabs it's back, impaling one of it's numbers off ands coring solid hits all over! OOC: Deme.
[21:47] <Demedais> OOC: Is there a route to the other construct?
[21:47] <Kotono> OOC: No, Donald+Seira are engaging it.
06[21:49] * Demedais quickly moves to Pollyanna's side and clasps her shoulder! "Move back at this point; no point in unnecessary risk." OOC: LoH 24.
[21:49] <Kotono> Pollyannad oes just that, retreating into the recess as she is soothed! "G-got it. Thanks," she says! OOC: Seira.
06[21:50] * Seira grins at Amaryl, and strikes the metal construct, blatantly turning her back on the living spell as she tells it, "You're not worth my time."
01[21:50] <Seira> roll 1d20+22
06[21:50] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+22 and gets 34." [1d20=12]
01[21:50] <Seira> roll 1d20+22
06[21:50] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+22 and gets 42." [1d20=20]
01[21:50] <Seira> roll 1d20+17
06[21:50] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+17 and gets 32." [1d20=15]
01[21:51] <Seira> roll 1d20+16
06[21:51] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+16 and gets 31." [1d20=15]
01[21:51] <Seira> roll 1d20+16
06[21:51] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+16 and gets 23." [1d20=7]
[21:51] <Kotono> OOC: Two hits.
01[21:51] <Seira> roll 3d8+9+2d6
01[21:51] <Seira> roll 3d8+9+2d6
06[21:51] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 3d8+9+2d6 and gets 27." [3d8=4, 4, 2][2d6=5, 3]
06[21:51] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 3d8+9+2d6 and gets 23." [3d8=6, 1, 2][2d6=1, 4]
[21:51] <Kotono> Seira lands a pair of powerful blows on the metal man! It's head nearly rolls off it's shoulders, it's body torn apart! But it still fights on, a slam at both Donald and Seira!
[21:52] <Kotono> roll 1d20+20 Seira
06[21:52] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+20 Seira and gets 36." [1d20=16]
[21:52] <Kotono> OOC: +2 flanking.
[21:52] <Kotono> roll 1d20+20 Donald
06[21:52] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+20 Donald and gets 24." [1d20=4]
01[21:52] <Seira> OOC: 39!
[21:52] <Kotono> But neither blow quite connects! Each is a bare miss, one hitting armor and the other ducked at the last moment! Donald snarls, channeling lighting into his blade!
[21:53] <Kotono> roll 1d20+24 (+1 GWM, +3 shocking grasp on metal, +1 arcane strike 1 1st used, -2 levels)
06[21:53] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+24 (+1 GWM, +3 shocking grasp on metal, +1 arcane strike 1 1st used, -2 levels) and gets 34." [1d20=10]
[21:53] <Kotono> roll 1d10+8+1d4+5d6
06[21:53] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d10+8+1d4+5d6 and gets 34." [1d10=6][1d4=3][5d6=1, 1, 6, 3, 6]
[21:54] <Kotono> Thrusting forward with abandon, Donald severs the metallic chest in front of him! He rips his blade out, kicking the creature back into the recess it came from! With a whirrling, silent movement, it's body crumbles, too damaged to go on! OOC: Free act.
[21:54] <Alicia> OOC: time thing has given up as well?
[21:54] <Kotono> OOC: Dur, forgot. It's up. Sorry.
[21:54] <Kotono> The time creature snarls and slams at Seira again!
[21:54] <Kotono> roll 1d20+20
[21:54] <Kotono> roll 1d20+20
06[21:54] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+20 and gets 24." [1d20=4]
06[21:54] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+20 and gets 23." [1d20=3]
[21:54] <Kotono> But both blows are wasted! OOC: Alicia.
01[21:55] <Seira> "Was that supposed to accomplish anything?"
06[21:55] * Alicia decides to see if she can banish the clock manifestation since there's too much of a scramble in the lift for her to get into melee. "Magic of speed and time, be unbound!" she calls.
[21:55] <Alicia> roll 1d20+12 targetted dispel if it does anything
06[21:55] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+12 targetted dispel if it does anything and gets 26." [1d20=14]
[21:56] <Kotono> OOC: Make a Caster level check?
[21:56] <Alicia> roll 1d20+12
06[21:56] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+12 and gets 15." [1d20=3]
[21:56] <Alicia> OOC: sorry, +16 so 19
[21:56] <Kotono> OOC: d100. Ow.
[21:56] <Alicia> roll 1d100
06[21:56] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d100 and gets 2." [1d100=2]
[21:57] <Kotono> Nothing happens...but then...a horrible smell comes from the time elemental! It smells like a skunk! The stetch is overwhelming! You feel your stomachs turn, the oder utterly offensive! Amaryl gags, before stabbing at it once more!
[21:57] <Kotono> roll 1d20+23
[21:57] <Kotono> roll 1d20+23
06[21:57] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+23 and gets 24." [1d20=1]
06[21:57] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+23 and gets 38." [1d20=15]
[21:57] <Kotono> roll 1d20+18
06[21:57] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+18 and gets 28." [1d20=10]
[21:57] <Kotono> roll 2d10+16
06[21:57] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 2d10+16 and gets 33." [2d10=9, 8]
[21:57] <Alicia> "Oh, Mystra!" Alicia gags in dismay. This is not what was meant to happen!
[21:57] <Kotono> She ravages it's back, nearly shredding it apart! Much of it's 'body' is ruined, but it clings to life yet! OOC:D ee.
[21:57] <Kotono> OOC: Deme.
[21:58] <Kotono> OOC: Oh wait, stop.
[21:58] <Kotono> OOC: Strike my line about the effect.
[21:59] <Kotono> Alicia intones the spell as Amaryl stabs and rips it's back! A horrible oder comes from her, like a skunk! The spell is nauseating, no escape from it in the narrow elevator! OOC: Read it as target when it was caster. Dur-hur. Deme.
06[22:00] * Demedais rushes into the remaining gap, attempting to down the time elemental before something else goes wrong!
[22:00] <Kotono> "Gaaaah." Pollyanna wrinkles her nose, "We'll...need to have you go jump in the water after this..." She nearly retches, holding her stomach.
[22:00] <Demedais> roll 1d20+21 (+1 GMW -5 PA +2 Charge)
06[22:00] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+21 (+1 GMW -5 PA +2 Charge) and gets 25." [1d20=4]
[22:00] <Kotono> OOC: Hit.
[22:00] <Demedais> roll 2d6+24
06[22:00] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 2d6+24 and gets 29." [2d6=3, 2]
[22:01] <Kotono> Cleaving into it's 'neck', Demedais cuts it's head off! The time numbers break apart, fading away into just a pile of numbers on the ground, as if made of plain, broken glass! OOC: Free act.
[22:01] <Alicia> "I miss the butterflies," Alicia grimaces, her eyes watering at the smell.
[22:01] <Kotono> The smell begins to lessen after a few moments, though it lingers in the cramped, relatively packed elevator.
[22:02] <Kotono> "That was still damned tough," Donald goes to rest on one knee, coughing.
06[22:02] * Alicia steps back onto the elevator. "Think it'll go down now or will we have to make our own way?" she asks, offering some healing to Donald.
[22:02] <Alicia> OOC: 20hp lay on hands
[22:03] <Kotono> "Yeah, thanks," Donald stands up after his wounds are balmed. The elevator isn't looking like it's going to go anywhere offhand.
06[22:03] * Demedais grunts, shaking his head a bit. "I don't know. Wonder if it'll go down if we all get off it?"
[22:04] <Alicia> "If not it'll probably reset and go back up, then we can climb the rest of the way," Alicia muses, stepping back onto the recess. "Lets try that?"
06[22:04] * Seira winces. "That spell could have become my minion..." she laments.
[22:07] <Kotono> The party follows suit! Nothing happens when they're all in the recess - the elevator isn't moving.
06[22:08] * Demedais taps Amaryl's shoulder to provide a bit more healing, before frowning. "Well, we know it went up before at one point, since it got back to the top after we teleported out."
[22:08] <Alicia> "It took a minute to reset last time," Alicia points out, content to wait at least that long.
06[22:08] * Seira uses a moment to look inside one of the alcoves!
01[22:08] <Seira> roll 1d20+25 search
06[22:08] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+25 search and gets 43." [1d20=18]
[22:09] <Kotono> The party waits a minute. Still no action at all. Donald sits against the wall of the recess, rubbing his head. "Hey, Demedais. Do you think ou can risk casting a restoration or that sort of spell on me? You know, the one you cast on Alicia yesterday?"
[22:10] <Demedais> "I... can try." Demedais grimaces. "My magic's not as strong as theirs, but..." Walking over, he attempts the magic on Donald!
[22:10] <Kotono> OOC: Caster level check.
01[22:10] <Seira> "We can continue through here," Seira comments, waving at the portion of the stone that is clearly an illusion or a gateway elsewhere.
[22:10] <Demedais> roll 1d20+8 here we go
06[22:10] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+8 here we go and gets 22." [1d20=14]
[22:10] <Kotono> OOC: d100. So close and yet so far.
[22:10] <Demedais> roll 1d100
06[22:10] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d100 and gets 47." [1d100=47]
[22:11] <Kotono> Woosh! Demedais is now sitting against the wall and Donald is now standing over Demedais, his hand on his shoulder. "...huh? Wasn't I sitting down?" Donald jerks his hand back.
[22:11] <Kotono> "Oh, did you find something?" Amaryl trots up to Seira.
06[22:11] * Alicia uses spellfire to provide some healing for Pollyanna, Amaryl, and Seira to heal them without the risk of a wild surge.
[22:11] <Alicia> roll 6d4+6 Polly
06[22:11] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 6d4+6 Polly and gets 26." [6d4=4, 4, 4, 2, 4, 2]
[22:11] <Alicia> roll 6d4+6 Amaryl
06[22:11] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 6d4+6 Amaryl and gets 21." [6d4=2, 1, 4, 3, 2, 3]
[22:11] <Alicia> roll 6d4+6 Seira
06[22:11] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 6d4+6 Seira and gets 18." [6d4=3, 2, 3, 2, 1, 1]
[22:12] <Demedais> "... Wild magic." Demedais comments, standing up with a hint of arrogance. "You were. Sadly, doesn't seem like my magic stands a chance of working well here."
[22:13] <Kotono> "Thanks," Amaryl smiles brightly at Seira.
[22:13] <Kotono> OOC: Alicia.
01[22:13] <Seira> "I did!" Seira responds cheerfully, indicating the nook. "Now you see my hand, now you don't!"
[22:13] <Demedais> *OOC: s/arrogance/annoyance.
[22:13] <Kotono> Amaryl does the same! She frowns, "It's a litle nook. It doesn't feel nearly wide enough to go through. Have you looked in it?"
[22:13] <Alicia> "Lets go, then?" Alicia asks, following after Seira. "If we get in trouble I've got enough spells to teleport us home easily enough, but lets press on for now."
06[22:14] * Seira looks through it, even if it's probably a horrible idea!
06[22:17] * Seira tries to reach for the creepy eye in a glass! If that ends badly, she'll try it again, except with a sword that other time.
[22:19] <Kotono> Seira reaches out, closing her hand around the glass node without incident.
06[22:19] * Seira tries to pull it out.
[22:20] <Kotono> The glass shatters to Seira's pull, stoneskin protecting her from any damage! With a yank, the eye is removed! At that moment, the elevator plummets straight down, a breeze assailing and cooling the party from it's fast fall!
[22:21] <Demedais> "Oh. Well, then." Demedais blinks.
06[22:21] * Alicia jumps and looks back at where the elevator used to be. "Well... glad we all got off first," she notes, heart racing at the close call.
[22:22] <Kotono> "Aaaah!" Pollyanna stares with fish eyes at the falling elevator, "If any of us-" WHAM! The sound of the elevator hitting something below HARD echos from the elevator shaft!
01[22:22] <Seira> "Feather fall it is," Seira decides with a firm nod, before looking curiously at the eye in her hand. Disgust is there, too.
06[22:22] * Alicia walks over to the edge and peers down.
[22:22] <Demedais> "Feather fall sounds good." Demedais nods.
[22:23] <Kotono> The eye looks to be clockwork and finely made. It is still now, unreacting. As Alicia goes to the edge, she sees the chasm goes down sixty feet. However, something's in it! Thirty feet down and ascending up, 8 of them! Like a pair of eyes and optic cords, floating and bobbing in the air as if it was water!
[22:24] <Alicia> Does it look like the eyestalks she saw on the eye tyrants of the endless plains?
[22:24] <Kotono> They do resemble them a fair bit, yes.
[22:25] <Alicia> "Watch out, there's something coming up that reminds me of a monster I fought before," Alicia warns, flapping her wings and floating out into the void of the elevator shaft. "The eyes might shoot spells at you as rays."
01[22:26] <Seira> "Weaknesses?" Seira asks, observing the eye in her hand a moment longer.
[22:26] <Demedais> "Lovely." Demedais says, switching to his spear. "Alright, then."
[22:26] <Kotono> OOC: Let's do init here, then, say? They aren't friendly.
01[22:27] <Seira> roll 1d20+6
06[22:27] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+6 and gets 7." [1d20=1]

06[22:27] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+7 A and gets 16." [1d20=9]

[22:27] <Demedais> roll 1d20+2
06[22:27] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+2 and gets 15." [1d20=13]
[22:27] <Kotono> roll 1d20+4 group init for the eyes
06[22:27] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+4 group init for the eyes and gets 23." [1d20=19]
[22:27] <Alicia> "Well, stabbing worked last time, but these lack the big central body that makes such a good target," Alicia admits.
03[22:28] * Kotono changes topic to 'Eyes(23; 8 sets of them)>Amaryl>Deme>Ailcia>Donald>Seira'
[22:28] <Kotono> The eyes fly up 5 feet! As they do, beams come from each pair of eyes, sixteen in total! With one target, they all fire towards Alicia above!
[22:29] <Kotono> roll 16#1d20+8 Touch AC, Alicia?
06[22:29] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 16#1d20+8 Touch AC, Alicia? and gets 299." [16#1d20+8 = 27, 27, 20, 12, 28, 13, 21, 24, 12, 9, 22, 23, 20, 10, 14, 17]

[22:30] <Kotono> roll 10d4+10 and make 4 will saves?
06[22:30] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 10d4+10 and make 4 will saves? and gets 32." [10d4=2, 1, 4, 4, 2, 1, 1, 1, 2, 4]
[22:30] <Alicia> roll 4#1d20+27
06[22:30] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 4#1d20+27 and gets 140." [4#1d20+27 = 34, 44, 34, 28]
[22:31] <Alicia> OOC: that's a 1 on the end
[22:31] <Kotono> OOC: Also irrelevant, your'e over the HD limit for the effect. Just the damage, then.
[22:31] <Alicia> OOC: DR apply?
[22:32] <Kotono> OOC: Yes, which just made this suddenly hilarious.
[22:32] <Kotono> Alicia is peppered by rays from above, pierced in a storm of them! She's wounded lightly a dozen times, each beam cutting into her skin!...and yet not a single beam is able to damage her, bouncing off her flesh! OOC: Amaryl.
01[22:33] <Seira> roll 1d20+22
06[22:33] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+22 and gets 24." [1d20=2]

06[22:33] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+12 and gets 18." [1d20=6]
[22:33] <Kotono> Amaryl gets her bow, running over to the side and shooting off a single arrow down!
[22:33] <Kotono> roll 1d20+15
06[22:33] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+15 and gets 19." [1d20=4]

[22:35] <Kotono> OOC: -4 to that to hit, forgot her routine. Dur.

06[22:35] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d8+1+1d6+3d6 and gets 13." [1d8=2][1d6=4][3d6=1, 3, 2]
03[22:35] * Kotono changes topic to 'Eyes(23; 5 sets of them)>Amaryl>Deme>Ailcia>Donald>Seira'
[22:36] <Kotono> Arrows rain down as Amaryl fires as many as she can at once! Three of the sets are popped, falling down into the elevator's top below! OOC: Deme.
03[22:44] * Kotono changes topic to 'Eyes(23; 5 sets of them)>Amaryl>Deme>Alicia>Donald>Seira'
03[22:44] * Kotono changes topic to 'Eyes(23; 5 sets of them)>Amaryl>Deme>Alicia>Donald>Seira>Polly'
[22:48] <Kotono> OOC: Deme's holding. Alicia?
[22:49] <Alicia> "Hell Striker, would they be vulnerable to a holy smite?" Alicia asks as she prepares to attack the assembled googly eyes below.
[22:52] <Alicia> "Excellent," Alicia smiles, rearing her hand back before gesturing downwards, an explosion of white light erupting amidst the eyes to hurt and blind them!
[22:52] <Alicia> roll 5d8 DC 22 half/negate blindness
06[22:52] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 5d8 DC 22 half/negate blindness and gets 23." [5d8=4, 7, 1, 7, 4]
[22:52] <Alicia> OOC: sorry, CL needed?
[22:52] <Kotono> OOC: CL check on that SLA?
[22:52] <Alicia> roll 1d20+17
06[22:52] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+17 and gets 29." [1d20=12]
[22:52] <Kotono> OOC: Fort or will?
[22:53] <Alicia> OOC: will
[22:53] <Kotono> roll 1d20+3
[22:53] <Kotono> roll 1d20+3
[22:53] <Kotono> roll 1d20+3
06[22:53] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+3 and gets 7." [1d20=4]
06[22:53] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+3 and gets 16." [1d20=13]
[22:53] <Kotono> roll 1d20+3
06[22:53] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+3 and gets 12." [1d20=9]
[22:53] <Kotono> roll 1d20+3
06[22:53] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+3 and gets 21." [1d20=18]
06[22:53] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+3 and gets 12." [1d20=9]
[22:53] <Kotono> The holy smite fills the chasm with light! The power of the heavens obliterates the five remaining eyes, clearing the path ahead! OOC: Ow. Free act.
06[22:54] * Seira pockets the strange magical sensor and glides down to the bottom!
[22:55] <Alicia> "Looks clear, but let me and Seira check the bottom before the rest of you start climbing?" Alicia suggests, descending down after the half-dragon.
[22:56] <Kotono> Thus the two descend down! They reach the bottom - the elevator fits in the bottom. You can see the edges of the shaft, perhaps leading out into another area if you were in the elevator car. But the roof puts you just above that line, unable to easily advance.
01[22:57] <Seira> "Seems like we'll have to break if after all?"
[22:58] <Alicia> "It's remarkably sturdy," Alicia marvels. "I would've thought such an impact would shatter it to pieces... well, yes, lets do that," she agrees with Seira, using her sword to carve several chunks out of the elevator roof adjacent to the corridor just barely seen.
[22:58] <Alicia> roll 1d20+13 -13pa
06[22:58] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+13 -13pa and gets 16." [1d20=3]
[22:58] <Kotono> OOC: Damage.
[22:58] <Alicia> roll 1d8+36+1d6+1d6
06[22:58] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d8+36+1d6+1d6 and gets 46." [1d8=2][1d6=5][1d6=3]
[22:59] <Kotono> It takes some time and effort, making a din. But nonetheless, Alicia is able to carve out a passage ahead.
06[22:59] * Alicia hops down to see what she can see and make sure there's no threats nearby which could make things difficult for the others as they climb down.
06[23:01] * Seira decides to fly up in the meantime, sheathing her sword, so that she could help Amaryl glide down with her.
[23:01] <Kotono> Ahead is a plain, black floor. Thirty feet ahead is a pair of doors, both plain and made of a heavy iron. These ones aren't rusted, though. Nothing is immediately about. Meanwhile, Seira is able to help Amaryl get down. Pollyanna just jumps, floating down on the wings of feather fall.
06[23:02] * Alicia climbs back up and then flies up. "Should be safe to climb down," she says to the others still up there. "I'll cast feather fall if you slip, but if you brace on the corners you should be okay."
[23:03] <Kotono> Donald takes the time to remove most of his armor, flying down. On landing he puts his armor back on, flexing his unnatural wings.
06[23:03] * Demedais just drops with Feather Fall as well.
[23:04] <Alicia> "Or that..." Alicia shrugs as everyone floats down. She wonders why she bothered scouting in that case, but no matter. Guiding her descent, she follows down after them.
[23:04] <Kotono> The party reaches the top of the elevator without incident. The passage ahead to the door waits. Pollyanna walks to it, going through. On doing so, "Doors? Any idea which we should try?"
06[23:04] * Seira checks both for traps!
[23:05] <Alicia> "How about making sure there's no traps, first?" Alicia suggests, waiting on Seira.
01[23:05] <Seira> roll 2#1d20+25
06[23:05] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 2#1d20+25 and gets 70." [2#1d20+25 = 44, 26]
06[23:05] * Demedais looks around curiously.
[23:06] <Demedais> roll 1d20+26
06[23:06] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+26 and gets 39." [1d20=13]
01[23:07] <Seira> "This one's trapped," Seira informs the others, heading for the one to the right. "Since it's the only one, we should go through it first!
[23:07] <Demedais> "Another crevasse. I begin to think that this was the way the gnomes got through this place." Demedais murmur, wandering over to it.
01[23:07] <Seira> roll 1d20+26 DD
06[23:07] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+26 DD and gets 29." [1d20=3]
[23:07] <Alicia> "If you can disarm the trap, sure," Alicia nods, waiting by the shattered lift.
[23:08] <Kotono> roll 1d20+12
06[23:08] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+12 and gets 20." [1d20=8]
[23:08] <Kotono> roll 1d100
06[23:08] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d100 and gets 12." [1d100=12]
[23:08] <Alicia> "It's not very convenient though, is it?" Alicia asks Demedais. "Doesn't fit with the other ruins we've found, either... I wonder why?"
[23:08] <Demedais> "It'd be convenient for a gnome, and this place seems like it was intended as a military post, almost."
[23:08] <Kotono> As Demedais goes to the crevasse, SEira works on the trap...OH NO! She slips! But...the door grows larger! Much larger! It doubles inside, pushing and grinding the wall back to fit perfectly in place!
[23:09] <Kotono> "It was called control base?" Donald adds, "What does it control?"
06[23:09] * Seira twitches.
[23:09] <Alicia> "Even a gnome would have to stoop, and it'd involve a lot of crawling and climbing..." Alicia shakes her head. She then blinks at the changing door. "What the...?"
[23:09] <Kotono> "It-" Amaryl cuts off, "And...what?"
01[23:09] <Seira> "I'm okay!"
[23:10] <Kotono> "What?" Donald echos, "What in the name of Lathander just happened?"
06[23:10] * Seira tries again!
[23:10] <Demedais> "...this place is inane."
01[23:10] <Seira> roll 1d20+26
06[23:10] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+26 and gets 29." [1d20=3]
[23:10] <Kotono> "That's wild magic for you," Donald crosses his arms and growls!
[23:10] <Kotono> roll 1d20+12
06[23:10] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+12 and gets 13." [1d20=1]
[23:10] <Kotono> roll 1d100
06[23:10] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d100 and gets 70." [1d100=70]
[23:11] <Kotono> Seira falls! She falls about a foot, as does everyone. The top layer of the floor has vanished, revealing unnaturaly smooth rock beneath. It's sedimentary, you can see the debris in it, cut like a slice of cake without a single disruption.
06[23:11] * Seira tries to see whether it's now possible to pass underneath the huge door!
[23:12] <Alicia> "Yah!" Alicia stumbles as she falls onto the reduced floor. "This is beyond reason!"
[23:12] <Kotono> You could, but you'd need to slither over on your belly, and it wouldn't be easy.
[23:12] <Kotono> "It's utterly insane. Magic without control," Donald rubs his forehead, "No technique, just being thrown about because everything is wrong here."
01[23:12] <Seira> "Okay." Seira takes a deep breath, and tries a third time!
01[23:13] <Seira> roll 1d20+26
06[23:13] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+26 and gets 35." [1d20=9]
[23:13] <Kotono> roll 1d20+12 I wonder if making this trap has a good DC was a mistake?
06[23:13] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+12 I wonder if making this trap has a good DC was a mistake? and gets 30." [1d20=18]
[23:13] <Demedais> "I'm impressed. The gnomes had no common sense at all."
[23:14] <Kotono> "I doubt this was intentional," Pollyanna observes. "Right?"
[23:14] <Demedais> "...I maintain my earlier statement."
[23:14] <Kotono> A yellow fog fills the room, a choking, poisonous mist that fills the area!
[23:14] <Kotono> roll 1d4 fort saves, all.
06[23:14] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d4 fort saves, all. and gets 3." [1d4=3]
[23:14] <Demedais> roll 1d20+24 oh rapture
[23:14] <Alicia> OOC: we're 30 feet back, does it still get us?
06[23:14] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+24 oh rapture and gets 34." [1d20=10]
01[23:14] <Seira> roll 1d20+15
06[23:14] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+15 and gets 17." [1d20=2]
[23:15] <Alicia> roll 1d20+28 if needed
06[23:15] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+28 if needed and gets 36." [1d20=8]
[23:15] <Kotono> OOC: You gusy back are off the hook then. Seira, you take 3 con damage, though.
06[23:15] * Seira retreats, feeling weak and useless.
[23:16] <Kotono> Waving a hand in front of her face, "This is going lovely," Pollyanna sighs, "You okay, Seira?"
01[23:16] <Seira> "Nope."
[23:17] <Demedais> "Ugh. Brutal trap... They really seem like they're trying to protect something down here, at least. I'd try healing you, Seira, but odds are it'd work about as well as everything else here."
[23:17] <Alicia> "Seira, let me heal you?" Alicia steps towards the half-dragon as she emerges from the fumes, taking hold of her forearm and channelling healing spellfire into her.
[23:17] <Alicia> roll 6d4+6
06[23:17] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 6d4+6 and gets 21." [6d4=3, 2, 1, 4, 4, 1]
06[23:18] * Seira decides on one of the potions she has in reserve, hoping drinking it doesn't trigger harsh retaliation from the disrupted magic.
01[23:18] <Seira> roll 1d4 lesser restoration
06[23:18] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d4 lesser restoration and gets 2." [1d4=2]
[23:18] <Kotono> Seira drinks the potion! It's effects seem to work without incident.
01[23:19] <Seira> "I don't know, I can try again for horrible results or we could break it. Or crawl under it. Or try the untrapped door after all."
[23:20] <Alicia> "Lets try the untrapped door? Maybe we'll find a key or a way to disable the trap laying around somewhere?" Alicia opines hopefully. "After that cloud dissipates, anyway..."
[23:20] <Kotono> The cloud takes a little while to do so, but soon enough the fumes are gone.
[23:21] <Demedais> "Try blowing the cloud away with your wings? Or wait. That works too."
06[23:21] * Seira tries opening the untrapped door!
01[23:21] <Seira> roll 1d20+15
06[23:21] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+15 and gets 32." [1d20=17]
[23:21] <Kotono> OOC: What was the roll for?
01[23:21] <Seira> OOC: Open door!
01[23:22] <Seira> OOC: Lock, etc
07[23:22] * Ginrai is on IRC (Ginrai)
[23:24] <Kotono> The door isn't locked. On opening it, it leads into a moderately sized room. An ancient table lies collapsed in one corner. On the back wall is a weapons rack. Blue gnomemetal weapons lie in waiting there, still intact. The back wall is dominated by a mural of a fearsome gnome overlooking all the world, wearing a conical cap and armor. His expression brings a sudden chill to your bones.
06[23:24] * Seira remembers this! It's just as unpleasant now, too. She keeps her eyes to the ground, observing the way ahead for traps!
01[23:24] <Seira> roll 1d20+25
06[23:24] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+25 and gets 40." [1d20=15]
[23:25] <Demedais> "Oh hey Mr. Creepyface." Demedais comments, glancing at the gnome.
06[23:25] * Seira decides to search the room, then, ignoring the portrait as best as she can.
01[23:25] <Seira> roll 1d20+25
06[23:25] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+25 and gets 34." [1d20=9]
06[23:26] * Alicia forces herself to look at the mural. If an image frightens her what hope could she have against the real thing? Following Seira inside, she then turns her attention to the weapon rack. "We can check if they're magic when we leave, but to be this well preserved they probably are."
06[23:26] * Demedais looks around the room, trying to see if there's anything interesting about aside from the weapon and the picture.
[23:27] <Kotono> Seira finds that there are three weapons waiting. A dagger and two shortswords, each one wickedly barbed. In the wreckage of the table, Seira finds a book. Most of it's pages are crumbled and too far gone to read, but a few fragments remain. It speaks of 'Praising the True God', the next fragment of 'The Starry Sky above' and the last of 'Overthrowing the False Ones'.
06[23:27] * Seira reads them!
[23:28] <Alicia> roll 1d20+27
06[23:28] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+27 and gets 29." [1d20=2]
[23:28] <Kotono> Alicia feels the gaze of the image bore into her. For a terrible moment she feels an urge of primal fear, but her long tempered spirit forces the instinct down.
[23:29] <Kotono> The fragments have nothing more to give, for they are truly just tiny fragments of an ancient text.
[23:29] <Alicia> "Pollyanna, do you want one of these shortswords or are you happy with that longsword?" Alicia asks as she prepares to toss the weapons into the portable hole.
06[23:29] * Seira decides to try and cautiously get to the other side of the trapped door by crawling underneath it.
[23:30] <Demedais> roll 1d20+26
06[23:30] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+26 and gets 37." [1d20=11]
[23:30] <Kotono> "I'll stick with this for now," Pollyanna says, I'm fine."
[23:31] <Kotono> OOC: Make an escape artist check, Seira?
06[23:31] * Demedais shrugs and goes back out to wait and make sure Seira gets through unharmed.
06[23:31] * Alicia nods and tosses the weapons into the hole. Following Seira and seeing her start to crawl she calls, "Can you open it from the other side?" It's doubtful she could fit underneath now what with her wings and all.
01[23:31] <Seira> roll 1d20+19
06[23:31] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+19 and gets 25." [1d20=6]

Corwin · March 28, 2012, 03:08:34 PM

[20:16] <Kotono> <Alicia> "Pollyanna, do you want one of these shortswords or are you happy with that longsword?" Alicia asks as she prepares to toss the weapons into the portable hole.
[20:16] <Kotono> * Seira decides to try and cautiously get to the other side of the trapped door by crawling underneath it.
[20:16] <Kotono> <Demedais> roll 1d20+26
[20:16] <Kotono> * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+26 and gets 37." [1d20=11]
[20:16] <Kotono> > "I'll stick with this for now," Pollyanna says, I'm fine."
[20:16] <Kotono> > OOC: Make an escape artist check, Seira?
[20:16] <Kotono> * Demedais shrugs and goes back out to wait and make sure Seira gets through unharmed.
[20:16] <Kotono> * Alicia nods and tosses the weapons into the hole. Following Seira and seeing her start to crawl she calls, "Can you open it from the other side?" It's doubtful she could fit underneath now what with her wings and all.
[20:16] <Kotono> <Seira> roll 1d20+19
[20:16] <Kotono> * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+19 and gets 25." [1d20=6]
[20:17] <Kotono> Seira tries to wiggle under! She isn't quite able to do it on her first try, only getting a tiny bit through before having to wiggle out to reposition and prevent herself from becoming stuck.
01[20:18] <Seira> This is embarrassing enough as it is, and Seira decides to drink her cat's grace potion before trying again!
01[20:18] <Seira> OOC: I'll take 10 for 31, if possible?
[20:19] <Kotono> Seira works and wiggles, before at last snaking through! On the other side of the enlarged door is a narrow corridor. It goes fourty feet ahead, only ten feet wide. There's no light here, but Seira's darkvision lets her see well enough.
[20:19] <Kotono> At the far end is a heavy metal door.
06[20:19] * Seira looks for any mechanism that would allow her to disable the trap from this end!
[20:19] <Kotono> OOC: Search?
01[20:19] <Seira> roll 1d20+25 search
06[20:20] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+25 search and gets 40." [1d20=15]
[20:20] <Kotono> Fromt his end, there is a simple switch that allows the trap to be turned on and off.
06[20:20] * Seira does so, before getting the door opened!
[20:20] <Kotono> The door swings open, revealing the rest of the party, waiting for her.
[20:21] <Kotono> "Good. Guess that wild surge wasn't all bad," Donald says as he approaches, "It's safe now?"
[20:21] <Demedais> "Hey." Demedais waves.
[20:23] <Alicia> "Looks that way," Alicia nods. "To be honest I was half worried the hinges would've broken when the door suddenly enlarged like that, but perhaps the possibility was factored into the design?"
01[20:23] <Seira> "Yes, and you even got to see me put on an exciting act for free!" Seira greets Donald brightly, standing on the other side.
[20:23] <Kotono> "This is my first time in one of these places," Amaryl goes to stand behind Seira, "Are they all like this?"
06[20:24] * Demedais raises an eyebrow slightly. "Looks dark that way... Is it perhaps another trap room? Can Lagann sense anything behind the walls?"
01[20:24] <Seira> "A lot of them are unique, actually," Seira responds to Amaryl. "Some have these alcoves where archers stand and shoot intruders while fiends are summoned to attack them."
06[20:24] * Seira checks with Lagann!
01[20:25] <Seira> roll 1d20+25 traps here?
06[20:25] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+25 traps here? and gets 42." [1d20=17]
01[20:27] <Seira> "Oh!" Seira exclaims. "You know how I was just talking about archers creating kill zones?" She points at a particular spot on the nearby wall. "We're in one!"
[20:28] <Demedais> "I am now very glad I asked." Demedais notes dryly.
[20:28] <Alicia> "At least there's no gnomes, but I wouldn't put it past them to leave archer golems behind," Alicia remarks, looking at the pointed spot.
[20:28] <Kotono> "Oh!" Coloring as she looks about quickly, "Are we in danger then?"
01[20:29] <Seira> "Only if they're undead. I don't spot a mechanism for shooting the arrows automatically."
[20:30] <Demedais> "Undead or golems, yes. Though they'd have to not be metal for Lagann to miss them, I think?"
[20:30] <Kotono> "No loss," Pollyanna follows along, "If there isn't, then let's advance? If something is waiting for us, no sense in giving it more time to prepare while we run our mouths."
06[20:30] * Seira agrees, swiftly making her way across! Stoneskin will save her, surely!
[20:31] <Kotono> The walk to the door is without incident.
06[20:31] * Demedais nods, following Seira into the darkness. "Where was the shooting zone?"
06[20:31] * Alicia waits thirty feet back from the door until Seira declares it safe.
01[20:33] <Seira> roll 1d20+25 search TRAPS
06[20:33] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+25 search TRAPS and gets 27." [1d20=2]
[20:33] <Demedais> After looking over the area, Demedais steps back to the usual thirty feet.
06[20:34] * Seira throws everyone a dirty look before retreating along with them and manipulating the door from afar!
01[20:34] <Seira> OOC: Open Lock, legerdemain
[20:34] <Demedais> roll 1d20+26
06[20:34] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+26 and gets 43." [1d20=17]
[20:34] <Kotono> Click! Working from afar, Seira undoes the lock ont he door.
06[20:35] * Seira shrugs, and then asks Lagann if he can nudge it open, before approaching once more.
[20:35] <Kotono> Donald shrugs, "What, would you rather us be incautious than cautious?" Returning the glare with a smile, "I've died once already, you know. I'd prefer not to experience that again."
01[20:36] <Seira> "Then you're already used to it!"
[20:36] <Kotono> The door opens! Ahead is a hallway going twenty feet before going to a long stone stair plunging deeper into the subterrainian. There are two obvious burn marks on the floor, right before the stair.
01[20:36] <Seira> Fresh?
[20:37] <Kotono> Seira would have to get closer to have any hope of identifying that.
01[20:37] <Seira> "I can't believe how deep underground we already are, and we're still going farther," Seira mutters, coming closer. And searching for traps!
01[20:37] <Seira> roll 1d20+25
06[20:37] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+25 and gets 26." [1d20=1]
06[20:38] * Demedais peers in, also looking around himself.
06[20:38] * Alicia walks towards the doorway and eyes the burn marks. "Gnomish remains, maybe?"
[20:38] <Demedais> roll 1d20+26 spot
06[20:38] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+26 spot and gets 45." [1d20=19]
[20:38] <Kotono> Seira doesn't find any traps. There are small doors on each side of the door into here, however, presumably leading into the sniper's nests running along the hall you just came from.
[20:38] <Kotono> Approaching, the party can see a few shards of blasted, burnt metal lying around the scorch marks. That's about it.
06[20:39] * Seira decides to check the burnt metal, since she might as well, and then the supposed sniper's nests.
06[20:40] * Demedais advances into the hallway as well. "At least we're past the main defenses, it seems?"
[20:40] <Kotono> The metal is just a few scraps of fried, burnt metal. It may have been gnomemetal once, but it's so ruined that whatever it was is hardly relevant. Inside of the sniper's nests, Seira finds a few quivers of arrows as well as several more burn marks. A few quivers have a few arrows, barbed tips and all, still remaining.
[20:41] <Kotono> Amaryl stays by the burn marks in the hall by the stairs, looking down to them. "Whatever hit them...it burned them all away like that?"
01[20:41] <Seira> "Maybe an angel set them all on fire?" she suggests with a shrug. "Stuff that still remained in working condition's probably magical."
01[20:41] <Seira> "Oh!" Seira exclaims. "We met two of them, before, guarding gnomish ruins and waiting to smite nonbelievers!"
06[20:42] * Alicia follows after Seira and grabs up the intact arrows, offering them to the archers. "Either of you two want these, or shall I just store them for when we get home?"
[20:42] <Kotono> "Will there be one somewhere around here, then? Are we going to have to fight it?" Donald wipes his forehead clean of sweat, "Did you fight the other ones?"
01[20:43] <Seira> "Why would we fight the messengers of Helm?"
06[20:43] * Seira tilts her head. "If it's Torm, that would be different."
[20:43] <Kotono> There are six intact arrows in total. Pollyanna nods and takes two, "I'll keep them in reserve, just in case." she says. Amaryl looks at them and shakes her head, "No. They look so barbaric! Anyone wounded with those would be hurt in a painful way, wouldn't they? All those barbs would do so much damage inside."
[20:43] <Demedais> "Helm and or other deities, but yes. And... well, it's possible, but I suspect this place was pretty much abandoned."
[20:44] <Alicia> "It might be," Alicia points out in response to Seira's suggestion, "Remember, all of the Gods were against the gnomes, so there's fair odds we might run into a servant of someone we dislike." Giving Pollyanna two arrows she nods to Amaryl and puts the remainder in the portable hole.
[20:44] <Kotono> "That makes them good weapons. Come on, you've killed things before," He crosses his arms, "Amaryl, a weapon is just a weapon."
[20:45] <Kotono> "Yes, but you don't have to be...barbaric about it," Looking down and away, in a tiny little voice, "Besides, if the Gods hated them, wouldn't it be wiser not to use those weapons?"
01[20:46] <Seira> "I'd agree if we were fighting people and not freakish constructs and summons," Seira says for her part. "But being comfortable with one's weapons is more important than having a better weapon!"
[20:46] <Alicia> "I'm not particularly fond of gnomecraft myself," Alicia agrees with Amaryl. "But it is fair to say that normal arrows can easily be used to inflict grevious injuries as well. It's down to how you use them."
01[20:47] <Seira> "For what it's worth, I don't think using their weapons or magic is particularly bad, as long as it doesn't break a taboo," Seira muses. "Like meddling in time, say."
[20:47] <Kotono> "I'll be sure to my comfortable sword the next time I fight something that needs adamantine," Pollyanna calls back, "Alicia's right. I've watched soldiers die in agony from my arrows when I was defending Balmuria. If I had these arrows and they would do the job better, I'd use them."
[20:47] <Kotono> *arrows
[20:49] <Kotono> Amaryl just shakes her head. "Can we go," she asys quietly. "Please?"
[20:50] <Alicia> "Of course, lets move on," Alicia nods understandingly, starting to head down the stairs.
06[20:50] * Demedais nods slightly, looking down the stairs over Alicia's shoulder as he follows.
[20:51] <Kotono> The party walks down the stairs! About half a minute down, you come to a landing. The stairs continue ahead, but there are doors on either side. They are both made of carved stone and steel. One has an image of the God-King, staring ahead with baleful intent. The other is covered with runes and pentagrams.
01[20:52] <Seira> "How about proceeding all the way below to see if there's someone waiting for us?" Seira suggests.
[20:53] <Alicia> "I bet that's a devil summoning chamber," Alicia nods to the door on the right. "I'd like to check it out first, just to make sure there isn't an active portal left or anything like that."
[20:53] <Kotono> "Definintely," Donald draws his sword, "No need to deal with the bearded bastards."
01[20:54] <Seira> "I'm good with that."
[20:55] <Demedais> "Thirded." Demedais nods. looking around quickly for another crevasse possibly hidden.
[20:55] <Demedais> roll 1d20+26
06[20:55] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+26 and gets 41." [1d20=15]
[20:56] <Demedais> roll 1d20+15 K:R
06[20:56] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+15 K:R and gets 31." [1d20=16]
[20:57] <Kotono> "Well?" Donald waits, "Who's going to do the honors? Seira?"
[20:57] <Demedais> "Definitely devil summoning. Hamatula and barbezu, I think?"
01[20:57] <Seira> "Might as well!"
[20:57] <Alicia> "I was waiting for her to make sure it's not trapped, yes," Alicia nods.
01[20:57] <Seira> roll 1d20+25 traps
06[20:57] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+25 traps and gets 44." [1d20=19]
01[20:58] <Seira> roll 1d20+26 DD
06[20:58] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+26 DD and gets 29." [1d20=3]
[20:59] <Kotono> Seira works on the trap! AFter a bit of work, she is able to successfuly disarm the trap!
06[20:59] * Seira can't quite believe it, checking the door again.
01[20:59] <Seira> roll 1d20+25
06[20:59] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+25 and gets 40." [1d20=15]
01[21:02] <Seira> "I guess they used all their talent on that cloudkill door," Seira mutters to herself, shaking her head. "Oh! Ah, I see. You're so nasty!" She turns to face the others. "Okay, there's really no way to disable the real trap from here. I only tagged the decoy. But Dispelling should work!"
[21:02] <Demedais> "..."
[21:02] <Demedais> "I am now recalling the water incident. Let's hope Dispelling does work here."
01[21:02] <Seira> "Knock should work, too, but all I have is a scroll and it'll likely not work."
06[21:03] * Seira steps back!
[21:03] <Kotono> "That..." Donald starts to work, "Yes, but how does that make sense? I mean, if they have to dispel the trap just to get in, what's the point of it?"
[21:03] <Kotono> *walk back
01[21:03] <Seira> "There could be a password. Want to guess at it?"
06[21:03] * Demedais steps back as well.
[21:04] <Alicia> "Well, I could try that..." Alicia replies. "My last dispel didn't work so well, though, so this could get messy." Her eyes glow blue as she studies the door, wanting to see the dweomer for herself before trying to unweave it.
[21:04] <Alicia> OOC: CL on arcane sight?
[21:04] <Kotono> OOC: Yes.
[21:04] <Alicia> roll 1d20+17
06[21:04] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+17 and gets 31." [1d20=14]
[21:05] <Alicia> roll 1d20+8
06[21:05] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+8 and gets 9." [1d20=1]
[21:06] <Alicia> "Hmm... it's a strong aura, so I'll have trouble dispelling it even without the wild magic," Alicia looks thoughtful for a moment before she cocks her head. "Hell Striker, can you sense anything from the door?" Perhaps they used an evil spell, which would be far easier for her to undo.
01[21:07] <Seira> "Think teleportation inside would be barred?" Seira wonders out loud.
[21:08] <Alicia> "But not on the door itself? Right, looks like I'll have to do this the hard way. Let me try and dispel it first, Seira, I'd rather not have to use a high level spell for this..." Taking a deep breath, she gestures at the door, "By Mystra's will, let the spell be broken!"
[21:08] <Alicia> OOC: CL for dispel?
[21:08] <Kotono> OOC: Yes.
[21:09] <Alicia> roll 1d20+16
06[21:09] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+16 and gets 30." [1d20=14]
[21:09] <Alicia> roll 1d20+12 dispel check
06[21:09] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+12 dispel check and gets 32." [1d20=20]
[21:09] <Kotono> The pentagrams and runes on the door fade from sight, the magic shattered!
01[21:09] <Seira> "Nicely done!" Seira says appreciatively.
[21:09] <Demedais> "Very good." Demedais smiles.
06[21:10] * Alicia proceeds to open the door! "There's evil within, so be wary," she cautions.
06[21:10] * Seira draws her sword!
06[21:10] * Demedais nods, standing near Alicia with his sword out, looking in as she opens it.
06[21:11] * Seira draws her bow, yes!
[21:12] <Kotono> Inside you find a large, arched room. Nine arches of old iron surround a 10(or is it 9?) foot wide pentagram. The walls are decorated with murals, of barbazu and hamatula, chained and dominated by armored gnomes. In the back of the room, 50 feet away, a figure is crucified to the back wall. (More)
[21:14] <Kotono> It is nude and hairless, lacking any gender at all. This humanlike creature is about the size of a large warrior, it's body covered with barbed chains, wire and hooks. It's legs are bound together by barbed wire, buried deep into it's infernal flesh. Long ram-like horns curl up from it's head, meeting in front of it's face. It's eyes are closed, it's face in a look of distant, painful comptemplation. Despite being crucified and wrapped in barbe
[21:14] <Kotono> it's face in a look of distant, painful comptemplation. Despite being crucified and wrapped in barbed wire at points, it does not bleed.
[21:14] <Alicia> roll 1d20+24 planes wtf is it
06[21:14] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+24 planes wtf is it and gets 32." [1d20=8]
01[21:15] <Seira> "How's it hanging?" Seira tactlessly asks the suffering fiend.
[21:15] <Demedais> "... you know, every time I start thinking I understand just how assholish the gnomes were, they manage to one-up themselves yet again." Demedais murmurs.
[21:17] <Kotono> The creature's eyes open, black, lusterless pools. Whispers cascade around you and in your minds. You cannot make out the words to them, save for all but one voice. 'Mortals. Well met...'
[21:17] <Alicia> "I wouldn't feel too much pity," Alicia observes, stepping fully inside. "It's a Remmanon. Its proximity clouds the mind, and it deals in dischord and hate - a harvester of souls, this one is."
01[21:18] <Seira> "Oh wow," Seira says dryly. "Haven't met one before. Did you know that you were left here for a few millennia, Mister Devil?"
[21:18] <Kotono> Amaryl whipers and hides behind Seira.
[21:19] <Kotono> 'I deal not in pity...but I will reward you if you are willing to allow me safe passage back to Baator...I see no need to fight you, should you be willing to do such.' The whispers tug and pull at your mind. You feel yourself wanting to strain, to try and listen to those voices.
01[21:20] <Seira> "Do you have any useful information that would warrant sending you back by pretty much killing you here?"
06[21:21] * Demedais looks around the room curiously as they talk.
[21:21] <Kotono> Pollyanna quite evenly readies and nocks an arrow. Her face twists into a sharp, furious mask of grimaces. 'What information do you desire,' the voice whispers into your minds, 'Knowledge for power? Knowledge for wealth? Knowledge for domination?'
01[21:22] <Seira> "Please don't give the bad devil what it wants, Pollyanna," Seira tells the archer girl, shrugging at the fiend. "You're the one who talked about rewards. And devils are all about contracts, so make me an offer. Surprise me!"
06[21:23] * Alicia was about to say there was nothing it could offer them, but at Seira's suggestion she decides to let this play out a little.
[21:23] <Demedais> roll 1d20+26
06[21:23] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+26 and gets 34." [1d20=8]
[21:24] <Kotono> 'I can offer you wealth. I can offer you knowledge to lay low enemies and grant you martial or arcane pussiance. I can offer you magic. I can offer you the lore of a thousand millenia. Free me from here and I will have no emnity against your land or your souls..' The whispers seem to pick up. You can begin to make out the lesser ones, chanting. Chanting in Infernal, if one cares to listen.
01[21:25] <Seira> "No thanks. Alicia, want to do the honors and knock it out?"
06[21:26] * Demedais turns around and looks over the shelf, glancing over it to see if there's anything of note on it.
[21:27] <Kotono> 'Tell me, then...what is it you desire? Speak your mind, for I can provide, instead of this falling to bloodshed...' It's muscles tense and writhe, it's expression becoming more intensly displeasured.
06[21:27] * Alicia looks a bit concerned at the utter lack of concern everyone else is showing, and approaches the devil before speaking. "Your offers have fallen on deaf ears, I'm afraid. We will still return you to Baator, but I'm afraid you'll have to endure the process of respawning as a result."
01[21:28] <Seira> "I think negotiations failed when the whispers started," Seira tells it flatly. "And picked up in intensity."
06[21:28] * Demedais wanders over to the shelf, glancing things over but being unwilling to touch anything here right off. On a whim, he glances at the titles of the books.
[21:29] <Kotono> 'Then...so be it...' The Remmanon whispers in your minds, 'Come here then...should you desire, I will have no choice but to liberate you from the chains of this mortal coil...' OOC: Well, it's going hostile and looks to be doing something. Let's do init?
[21:29] <Alicia> roll 1d20+8

06[21:29] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+2 Donald and gets 21." [1d20=19]
[21:29] <Kotono> roll 1d20+8
06[21:29] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+8 and gets 22." [1d20=14]
03[21:30] * Kotono changes topic to 'Alicia(28)>Seira(26)>Polly(24)>Remmanon(22)>Donald(21)>Amaryl(17)>DemeMiko(3)'
[21:30] <Kotono> OOC: Go Alicia.
[21:30] <Kotono> "Hey Demedais! Not thet ime!" Donald calls to him as Demedais goes to inspect teh bookshelf!
[21:31] <Alicia> With a flap of her wings, Alicia surges forward above the pentagram, charging straight at the fiend and whipping her flaming blade across its chest in a single mighty stroke!
[21:32] <Alicia> roll 1d20+30 -10 pa, divine might, charging, smite
06[21:32] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+30 -10 pa, divine might, charging, smite and gets 39." [1d20=9]
[21:32] <Kotono> OOC: Hit.
[21:32] <Alicia> roll 1d8+47+2d6+1d6+1d6
06[21:32] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d8+47+2d6+1d6+1d6 and gets 66." [1d8=3][2d6=4, 4][1d6=4][1d6=4]
[21:34] <Kotono> Alicia surges forward, flying ahead! She can hear whispers in her mind as she does, slicing into the Remmanon! It's expression of pain grows even more intense, as if in a meditating agony! 'An angel...then I truly wasted my words...' The Remmanon's constant murmurs sound only in Alicia's head now. OOC: Seira.
01[21:35] <Seira> "If only you didn't try to cheat and chant as we were talking!" Seira snaps at the devil, reaching for a pair of silver arrows. "Now look what you've made me do!"
01[21:36] <Seira> roll 1d20+17 (5pa)
06[21:36] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+17 (5pa) and gets 29." [1d20=12]
01[21:36] <Seira> roll 1d20+12 (5pa)
06[21:36] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+12 (5pa) and gets 15." [1d20=3]
[21:36] <Kotono> OOC: One hit.
01[21:36] <Seira> roll 1d8+14-1+5d8 good+silver
06[21:36] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d8+14-1+5d8 good+silver and gets 39." [1d8=4][5d8=8, 6, 4, 1, 3]
[21:37] <Kotono> The arrow goes right into thes tomac of the Remmanon, piercing it's torso violently! No blood comes from it's wounds, yet it's body is greiviously injured! Pollyanna meanwhile draws one arrow in particular, taking careful aim...
[21:38] <Kotono> roll 1d20+22 (+2 helmet, precise shot)
06[21:38] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+22 (+2 helmet, precise shot) and gets 32." [1d20=10]
[21:38] <Kotono> roll 1d8+12+2d6+3d8
06[21:38] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d8+12+2d6+3d8 and gets 44." [1d8=6][2d6=5, 5][3d8=7, 8, 1]
[21:39] <Kotono> The arrow is fired true, taking out the left eye of the Remmanon! It pops with nary a bit of fluid, hissing, foul air spurting from it! It's whispers speak to all of you, 'I have no choice...'
[21:39] <Kotono> roll 1d20+18
06[21:39] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+18 and gets 30." [1d20=12]

[21:39] <Kotono> OOC: Er, +50.
[21:40] <Kotono> But nothing seems to happen! Meanwhile, Donald charges ahead, taking a quick shot at the seemingly defenseless devil!
[21:41] <Kotono> roll 1d20+21 (+2 charge, -2 levels, +2 arcane strike 2 2nd level charges -2 PA)
06[21:41] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+21 (+2 charge, -2 levels, +2 arcane strike 2 2nd level charges -2 PA) and gets 30." [1d20=9]
[21:42] <Kotono> roll 1d10+12+4d4
06[21:42] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d10+12+4d4 and gets 28." [1d10=6][4d4=2, 1, 4, 3]
[21:42] <Kotono> Cutting intot he flank of the devil, the Remmanon is further wounded on it's crucification! Amaryl stays back, moving into the room and sending a volley of arrows inward!
[21:43] <Kotono> roll 1d20+12
06[21:43] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+12 and gets 25." [1d20=13]

[21:43] <Kotono> roll 1d20+12
06[21:43] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+12 split and gets 14." [1d20=2]
06[21:43] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+12 and gets 28." [1d20=16]

06[21:43] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+12 split crit and gets 20." [1d20=8]
[21:43] <Kotono> roll 2d8+2+3d6
06[21:43] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 2d8+2+3d6 and gets 19." [2d8=7, 3][3d6=2, 1, 4]
[21:44] <Kotono> A pair of arrows strike the Remmanon, burrowing light into it's flesh! OOC: Deme.
01[21:47] <Seira> roll 1d20+23
06[21:47] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+23 and gets 36." [1d20=13]
06[21:47] * Demedais quickly pivots at the sound! "Hmph, I did let my guard down." A severe grimace on his face is present as he moves around the room, preparing to engage with a charge from his new angle!
[21:47] <Kotono> As Demedais positions, the whispers grow in intensity in Alicia's mind! She can hear 9 infernal voices, calling on her to give into strife and dischord! OOC: Alicia, you're up, but make a wills ave first.
[21:47] <Kotono> OOC: Mind effecting.
[21:47] <Alicia> roll 1d20+27
06[21:47] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+27 and gets 46." [1d20=19]
[21:48] <Kotono> OOC: Carry on.
[21:50] <Alicia> "Now, return to the pit!" Alicia calls as she slashes out a disembowelling strike at the creature's navel before raking her blade up its torso and finishing with a hopefully decapitating slash at its neck!
[21:50] <Alicia> roll 1d20+30 -2pa divine might
06[21:50] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+30 -2pa divine might and gets 37." [1d20=7]
[21:50] <Alicia> roll 1d20+25 -2pa divine might
06[21:50] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+25 -2pa divine might and gets 29." [1d20=4]
[21:50] <Alicia> roll 1d20+20 -2pa divine might
06[21:50] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+20 -2pa divine might and gets 21." [1d20=1]
[21:50] <Kotono> OOC: Two hits.
[21:50] <Alicia> roll 1d8+29+2d6+1d6+1d6
06[21:50] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d8+29+2d6+1d6+1d6 and gets 45." [1d8=5][2d6=1, 3][1d6=4][1d6=3]
[21:50] <Alicia> roll 1d8+29+2d6+1d6+1d6
06[21:50] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d8+29+2d6+1d6+1d6 and gets 47." [1d8=5][2d6=5, 5][1d6=1][1d6=2]
[21:51] <Kotono> The head of the devil is sliced in twain, it's brains nothing but a gust of windy, hateful whispers! It's body breaks apart into the howling agonies of warriors dying of impossible wounds! There is a clatter as it's chains, barbs and hooks fall to the floor, a great metallic mess of things. OOC: It's dead, Jim. Free act.
06[21:52] * Alicia flicks her blade through the air and turns disdainfully from the corpse. Now her glowing blue eyes sweep across the chamber, looking for any active magic within.
06[21:52] * Seira checks the door from the inside of the room, now that the devil had been slain, before looking over the rest of it.
01[21:52] <Seira> roll 1d20+25
06[21:52] * Demedais gestures to the shelf. "I'd suggest there for a search."
06[21:52] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+25 and gets 40." [1d20=15]
01[21:54] <Seira> "I question the wisdom of a trapped door that only a prisoner but not its guards could open," Seira mutters darkly.
[21:55] <Alicia> First of all, Alicia roots around in the chains to find the source of the magical auras there.
[21:55] <Kotono> Looking about, "You know, I was wondering the same thing. There must be something more to this," Donald comes over to Seira. Meanwhile, Alicia finds two rings are the source of the auras. They're connected to various non magical chains that lined and dotted the Remmanon's body. Alicia gets a few minor cuts as she does this, or would, but her protected skin isn't bothered.
[21:56] <Kotono> The bookshelf has some books, several vases and jars, a cabinet built in. Beyond that and the portal and now the former Remmanon, the room is relatively unremarkable.
01[21:56] <Seira> "Dimension anchor or something fun like that?" Seira calls over to Alicia, before asking Donald, "Like what?"
01[21:56] <Seira> roll 1d20+25 search on shelf, sure
06[21:56] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+25 search on shelf, sure and gets 27." [1d20=2]
06[21:57] * Alicia shatters the chains with a quick blow from her sword, before putting the rings into the portable hole. She then goes to join Demedais at the shelves. "That jar has some magic in it," she points out the one that shone out in her vision, picking it up off the shelf.
[21:58] <Kotono> The books are written in gnomish, with such titles as 'Devilnomicon' 'Domination of the Pit' and 'Hellfire summoning'. Those sort of things. The jars earthenware and are half empty. One has ancient, rotted wood in it and looks useless. One has steel nails. Another has several vials of a clear liquid, old glass still intact. The last, radiating magic, has several blue-tinted metal tokens. Four of them in particular.
[21:58] <Kotono> Four of them in particular. Each token radiates magic.
[21:59] <Alicia> roll 4#1d20+8 spellcraft on tokens
06[21:59] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 4#1d20+8 spellcraft on tokens and gets 71." [4#1d20+8 = 19, 23, 12, 17]
06[21:59] * Seira examines the portal while Alicia checks the magic on the token
01[22:00] <Seira> s
01[22:00] <Seira> roll 1d20+22 arcana?
06[22:00] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+22 arcana? and gets 39." [1d20=17]
[22:00] <Alicia> "Hmm, some are abjuration... do they look familiar to you, Demedais?" Alicia asks, since he has more experience with gnomish deritrus.
06[22:01] * Demedais muses, looking into the vase and examining the tokens by shifting them near to the edge of the vase to get a better look.
[22:02] <Kotono> Demedais can note there is very faint writing on them - tiny sized, his sharp eyes able to notice it. In gnomish, "Ward of Passage," is written.
01[22:02] <Seira> "Need some help with that?" Seira asks distractedly, still observing the portal.
[22:03] <Demedais> "'Ward of Passage.'" Demedais says aloud. "Either it activates this portal or it's used for safe passage through this building."
01[22:04] <Seira> "Yeah, about this portal. We need to break it."
[22:04] <Demedais> "Right."
01[22:04] <Seira> "Can I have the portal-breaking sword?" Seira requests.
[22:06] <Alicia> "I don't think it's safe," Alicia cautions. "We're better off breaking it the way we did the other gnomish portals, considering what happened with the Sharran one..."
01[22:06] <Seira> "I'm sure I'll be fine! I even have Dismissal and everything!"
[22:07] <Kotono> "You know," Amaryl comes up to Seira, looking to her in the eyes, gently, "Even if you think you can protect yourself...Seira..."
06[22:08] * Seira squirms. "We can break it the normal way... I guess...."
[22:08] <Kotono> Smiling warmly, "Thanks," Amaryl whispers to Seira, taking her hand.
01[22:09] <Seira> "Anyway!" Seira proceeds hurriedly. "If left unchecked, some idiot could use it like in the desert!"
[22:09] <Kotono> Covering a laugh with his hand, "So how do we smash it? I don't have the Hammer handy."
[22:09] <Demedais> "Right. Then yes, it must be broken."
01[22:10] <Seira> "That's because I have it! I still get to be the one to smash it, right?"
[22:10] <Kotono> Amaryl nods, "As long as it's really safe."
[22:10] <Demedais> "I can't touch the hammer, so." Demedais shrugs.
[22:11] <Kotono> At this point, Pollyanna quietly excuses herself from the room.
01[22:11] <Seira> "It is! But you all should move out of the room with all the nasty books and the vials and all of the tokens."
06[22:11] * Demedais glances to Pollyanna, before following her out.
[22:11] <Kotono> Donald follows suit, "Don't get yourself dragged into Hell! You know we'd have to come after you." As he goes, "Say, Alicia. I wanted to ask you something."
[22:12] <Alicia> "Holy energy works as well as chaotic to dispel a hellish portal," Alicia points out, walking over to the portal with Hell Striker in hand, then pausing. "Yes, Donald?"
[22:12] <Kotono> "Nevermind, it can wait," he says, going out, "Smash the portal up first."
06[22:12] * Seira waits until anything useful or dangerous had been taken along, and takes out the Hammer, glancing at Alicia. "On three?"
[22:12] <Kotono> OOC: Did you guys take anything besides the two rings, or was that it?
[22:13] <Alicia> OOC: I have the rings, I assume Deme has the jar with the tokens?
01[22:13] <Seira> OOC: I asked for someone to take the books, tokens and vials. Donald should, if no one else.
[22:13] <Demedais> OOC: I took the jar with me, yes.
[22:13] <Kotono> OOC: Okay. Donald will take the books and vials out as well.
[22:14] <Kotono> OOC: Carry on.
06[22:14] * Alicia nods to Seira, standing at the opposite side of the pentagram from the half-dragon. "One... two... three!" And on three she carves through the intricate runes and diagrams with a razing sweep of her flaming and sonic and holy empowered blade!
06[22:14] * Seira slams the business end of the Shard at her segment of the runes on the mark!
[22:15] <Kotono> With a twinned slash and smash, the portal is ruined! It's surface is shattered, the diabolical gateway ruined...this time, before any danger is present to the world.
[22:15] <Alicia> Confirming that the aura has dissipated, Alicia nods in satisfaction and heads back out. "You were saying, Donald?" she prompts the elf.
01[22:16] <Seira> "Anti-climatic," Seira mutters quietly, deciding to check the other door.
01[22:16] <Seira> roll 1d20+25 traps?!
06[22:16] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+25 traps?! and gets 30." [1d20=5]
[22:16] <Kotono> "Where'd you get your wings?" Donald asks lightly.
06[22:16] * Seira makes certain everyone is far away, and tries to open it!
06[22:17] * Demedais looks to Pollyanna worriedly. "You alright, dear?"
[22:17] <Kotono> This room...was perhaps once something. But instead, nothing but burns and ruined walls are about. A few bookshelves in ruin lie about, half charred and with parts missing. The air in here is uneasy...the back wall is nothing but an entire, massive burn mark, half melted.
[22:18] <Kotono> "I'm fine," Pollyanna smiles to Demedais, "...now that those damned whispers are gone."
01[22:18] <Seira> Something must have made a last stand there! Seira still gives it a cursory check, though.
01[22:18] <Seira> roll 1d20+25
06[22:18] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+25 and gets 27." [1d20=2]
[22:18] <Alicia> "I picked them up at the corner shop," Alicia replies dryly as she steps back up the stairs. "Seriously, though? They were a gift from Mystra - I've effectively got one foot in Dweomerheart, now."
[22:19] <Demedais> "Ah. Yeah, that sort of thing is... a frustration. My apologies for seeming distracted and not helping, but I find I can't even bring myself to care about most devils nowadays." Demedais grimaces.
[22:20] <Kotono> "Yeah, it's dead...but why not care?" Pollyanna starts to look startled at that, gasping, "They're a danger to our city and our lives. I worry about them all the time."
06[22:20] * Alicia peers into the ruined room after Seira once it's clear there's no traps around.
06[22:20] * Seira skips out of the room and back into the corridor. "Well, all the bad things have been slain. Are we going ahead, now?"
[22:20] <Demedais> "It's... I phrased it wrong. I can't care to deal with them.
[22:20] <Alicia> OOC: any magic amidst the debris?
[22:21] <Kotono> "Oh." Donald doesn't say much else beyond that. Alicia doesn't detect any magic amid the debris.
[22:21] <Demedais> "It's... I phrased it wrong. I can't care to deal with them." Demedais shrugs. "I'll kill them - don't get me wrong on that - but dealing with them has nothing but apathy to me. No interest."
[22:22] <Kotono> "Wow, you're making good sense," Donald calls as he goes to the downward stairs, peering down them. "One sexy exception excluded, most of them need to die. You're showing common sense! Demedais, are you feeling ill?"
06[22:22] * Alicia nods to Seira and starts going down the stairs. "At least thanks to trailblazers like yourself and Seira I can walk around Balmuria like this and not stand out so much," she smiles slightly.
01[22:22] <Seira> "Are you talking about succubi or erinyes?" Seira asks Donald curiously.
[22:23] <Kotono> "Maybe you're right. I know they offer nothing but enslavement and hate." Pollyanna smiles wanly, taking his hand, "Sometimes listening to one is so...easy. They can talk so WELL when they want to."
[22:23] <Kotono> "Isn't she kind of both," Donald grins, "Those bat's wings look like a textbook succubus wheneve rI study them."
01[22:24] <Seira> "Oh!" Seira exclaims suddenly. "You mean a specific ex-fiend. Right, carry on!"
06[22:24] * Demedais takes her hand. "Yeah, pretty much. I suppose it's just my mind getting used to tuning their speech off."
[22:25] <Kotono> "For all they have, they're very one track minded," Donald smiles briefly to Alicia, "Each time, it's like dealing with a seperate slice of dominating evil. No matter how it's cut, it's still teh same evil."
[22:25] <Alicia> "Actually she's got fluffy white feathered ones like me, now," Alicia tells Donald. "She never much cared for the succubus comparison, anyway."
[22:25] <Demedais> "Didn't someone make that comparison when we first met her?"
[22:26] <Alicia> "I never much cared for her when I first met her," Alicia replies with a thin smile.
[22:26] <Kotono> "Oh. That's nice...she's the second or third prettiest woman I've met, besides her," Donald says absently, "I remember how awkward she looked at the celestial camp when were devil busting."
01[22:26] <Seira> "You know, it's been bothering me," Seira mentions. "For a while, now, too. I'm not the only one who knows that following a fiend leads you to an eternal afterlife of pain and hate, right? It's common knowledge?"
[22:26] <Demedais> "I think people like pretending they'll be an exception."
01[22:27] <Seira> "Stupid people. Works for me."
[22:27] <Kotono> "Common for us." Amaryl speaks up, "But we're educated, aren't we? I know about magic, about planes, about nature. But what does a normal person know?"
[22:27] <Demedais> "There's that, too.
[22:27] <Alicia> "It's what we teach at temple, anyway," Alicia tells Seira, "But Demedais has the right of it - people who deal with fiends either convince themselves they'll come out on top from the bargain, or just don't think what occurs after death truly matters."
06[22:27] * Seira glances at Amaryl as she speaks. "So what if we raised the educational level? Raised awareness? Maybe less people would be stupid, then."
[22:27] <Demedais> "A further education of the people regarding them would be useful, yes."
01[22:28] <Seira> "It shouldn't be too hard to extend a few classes from the school for that end. And Waukeen's all about knowledge, so the temple might pitch in!"
[22:28] <Demedais> "Though how we'd approach it... we'd need to be careful not to cause a panic, or anything like that."
[22:29] <Kotono> "Antenora bothers me a bit about that," Pollyanna follows along as the party walks down the stairs, footsteps echoing around in the cavern passage, "If a fiend can change, are they all so terrible and worth shutting out?"
01[22:29] <Seira> "I try to offer each I fight a chance, now, and if they take it they're worth the time. If not, well, they might reconsider after respawning?"
[22:30] <Alicia> "Don't your churches already teach people such things? But really, It doesn't matter how much theoretical knowledge a person has, intangibles such as souls just often don't feel *real* to a lot of people. Unless they've actually been there and seen it for themselves, it's hard to truly believe it," Alicia reasons.
[22:31] <Kotono> As theology continues to be batted around, the party can see a glowing light far ahead. The light is indistinct, but burns like fire, blazing white fire.
[22:31] <Demedais> "There is that, too, but there are those who do not attend sermons - or do not attend on those days, by coincidence or by disdain."
06[22:31] * Demedais peers ahead at this.
01[22:31] <Seira> "That's what I mean! We can summon outsiders from all stripes and have them tell people!"
[22:32] <Alicia> "It doesn't always work," Alicia tells Seira. "I've heard a few people say after talking to Marie that the afterlife doesn't even matter since if they lose their memories it's not something they'll care about."
[22:32] <Demedais> roll 1d20+26
06[22:32] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+26 and gets 44." [1d20=18]
01[22:32] <Seira> "They might change their minds if an imp tells them some hell can let them keep their minds as they suffer endlessly?"
[22:32] <Kotono> "People are stubborn," Pollyanna wavers her hand back and forth, "Be-hm? What's that ahead?"
01[22:33] <Seira> "You know that feeling," Seira says quietly, "where you hope it's a servant of Torm so you could vent your Torm-anger on it, and at the same time hope it's a nice celestial waiting for us?"
[22:33] <Demedais> "Wait."
[22:34] <Demedais> "... Fire elemental. Huge. Like... the one we saw in the Fifth Resort ruins."
06[22:34] * Alicia shrugs. "That's not really how it works. Although my sister was very terrified after Antenora explained the process of changing a soul into a lemure..." she shudders a little herself, "She was quite graphic- hm?" she pauses at Demedais's warning.
01[22:34] <Seira> "That might work!" Seira agrees. "Also, it can't really set me on fire. I could hold it off for those of you easily burnable?"
[22:35] <Demedais> "It'll have problems burning me, too, though less so than you by far." Demedais shrugs.
[22:35] <Alicia> "Feel free to take point, then," Alicia invites, dropping back in favour of Seira.
[22:36] <Kotono> Pollyanna and Amaryl do likewise.
06[22:36] * Demedais nods and stays a bit behind Seira as he advances, eyes alert to try and spot how many there are.
06[22:37] * Seira draws the Resort, and nods resolutely. "I'll try for a spell, here's to hoping it works!"
01[22:38] <Seira> OOC: I want to cast Greater Heroism
[22:38] <Demedais> "It's also looking like it's pretty hot."
[22:38] <Kotono> OOC: D100.
[22:38] <Kotono> OOC: Er.
[22:38] <Kotono> OOC: CL check.
01[22:38] <Seira> roll 1d20+16
06[22:38] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+16 and gets 21." [1d20=5]
[22:38] <Kotono> OOC: d100.
01[22:38] <Seira> roll 1d100 right
06[22:38] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d100 right and gets 70." [1d100=70]
[22:39] <Kotono> A large chunk of thes tairs ahead vanishes. You can see plain, rugged stone beneath, about a ten foot cube of it gone. It'll make walking ahead a bit difficult, but not impossible as it look sto be on a downward hill.
[22:40] <Alicia> "Didn't that happen before, back at the cloudkill door?" Alicia frowns as she looks down, negotiating this new obstacle.
[22:40] <Demedais> "Patterns in wild magic?" Demedais grins. "There's been weirder concepts, I guess."
06[22:40] * Seira pouts, and decides to hold off on her other spell until she's closed the distance down to at least half.
[22:42] <Kotono> The party advances on! As you get closer, to within about 100 feet, you can see it fairly well. This manlike creature blazes with white fire. It stands stoically in the stair, waiting. Seira and Demedais have seen this creature type before - in previous gnomish ruins, servants of the Gods sent to burn away the heresies of the gnomes.
01[22:42] <Seira> "Hi!" Seira greets it.
[22:43] <Demedais> "Hm, the flames obscured his actual form." Demedais mutters. "Ah well."
[22:43] <Alicia> roll 1d20+24 planes, wtf is it
06[22:43] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+24 planes, wtf is it and gets 44." [1d20=20]
[22:43] <Kotono> It's gaze is terrible, like judgment passing over the party. "You are touched by the True Gods and bear the Resorts of the Heretic God King. I welcome you, honored ones."
01[22:44] <Seira> "I don't know if you've heard, but the time of that final battle and the so-called God-King's destruction draws near," Seira tells the guardian. "We've come for the next Resort."
[22:47] <Kotono> "You may pass," It says, standing aside. "Below lies Control Base 4. This place, a command base for the region, also hosted experiments over many living creatures. The results still exist below, as well as various intact defenses."
[22:47] <Alicia> "Does the Second Resort lie here, or elsewhere?" Alicia respectfully asks the manifestation of deific wrath.
01[22:47] <Seira> "We'll put them to rest, as we've done with the ghosts above," Seira promises solemnly. "Is there a way to fix the Weave, however, without extended research?"
[22:48] <Alicia> OOC: First*
[22:50] <Kotono> "It does." The spirit agrees, "The Weave's damage is a result of the experiments here going afoul in the final days of the Great War. It is the most intense past this point - zones of wild magic, dead magic and empowered magic. The source of the rift lies within the main areas. Should that be stopped, the Weave will repair itself in time."
[22:51] <Alicia> "It will be stopped," Alicia declares at that, the preservation of Mystra's gift foremost in her mind.
[22:51] <Demedais> "Right... then we've no choice but to go at it, then." Demedais muses.
01[22:51] <Seira> "Was there ever any doubt?" Seira asks with a confident smile. "Let's go!"
06[22:52] * Alicia nods. "Lets," she agrees with Seira, pressing onwards.
06[22:52] * Seira lets other proceed ahead, before trying to cast one last spell. Should it fail, better that it fails before the more intense imbalance in the Weave.
01[22:53] <Seira> OOC: Draconic Might
[22:53] <Demedais> "Thank you." Demedais nods, bowing before he follows the other two. "If we can find the empowered areas, I can remove the energy drain and strength sapping while we're there, I suspect."
[22:58] <Kotono> OOC: CL check, Seira?
[22:58] <Kotono> The glowing figure stands aside, letting the party pass.
01[22:58] <Seira> roll 1d20+16
06[22:58] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+16 and gets 35." [1d20=19]
[22:58] <Kotono> The spell triggers without incident! Thus the party continues deeper into the bowels...OOC: It's a fe wminutes early, but this is a great stopping point. We'll resume on Thursday.

Corwin · March 28, 2012, 03:09:06 PM

[20:19] <Kotono_Ibis> > "It does." The spirit agrees, "The Weave's damage is a result of the experiments here going afoul in the final days of the Great War.

[20:19] <Kotono_Ibis> * Seira lets other proceed ahead, before trying to cast one last spell. Should it fail, better that it fails before the more intense imbalance in the Weave.
[20:19] <Kotono_Ibis> <Seira> OOC: Draconic Might
[20:19] <Kotono_Ibis> <Demedais> "Thank you." Demedais nods, bowing before he follows the other two. "If we can find the empowered areas, I can remove the energy drain and strength sapping while we're there, I suspect."
[20:19] <Kotono_Ibis> > OOC: CL check, Seira?
[20:19] <Kotono_Ibis> > The glowing figure stands aside, letting the party pass.
[20:19] <Kotono_Ibis> <Seira> roll 1d20+16
[20:19] <Kotono_Ibis> * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+16 and gets 35." [1d20=19]
[20:19] <Kotono_Ibis> > The spell triggers without incident! Thus the party continues deeper into the bowels...OOC: It's a fe wminutes early, but this is a great stopping point. We'll resume on Thursday.
[20:21] <Kotono_Ibis> Thus the party descends down! The clatter of footsteps on the cold, wet stone beneath you is a constant echo, crashing about you in a subtle, deafening way. With Pollyanna providing light with her sunrod, you walk for another minute. You see that at last the stairs end, before a thickened, reinforced iron door. It's about fourty feet tall and thirty wide, heavy chains attached to huge rings on the center.
01[20:23] <Seira> Clearly, a time to examine it for traps!
01[20:24] <Seira> roll 1d20+25
06[20:24] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+25 and gets 33." [1d20=8]
[20:25] <Alicia> As they reach the door, Alicia picks up their earlier conversation. "Anyway, as we were saying before? I don't think it's realistic to say that people are ignorant of the perils of dealing with fiends - even if they don't go to church they'd hear bard songs or be told bedtime stories by their parents when they were young or something."
[20:25] <Alicia> "It's the sort of thing that's pretty ingrained. The problem is just that a lot of people won't care - they think a life of having their wishes granted by whatever means is worth whatever happens after they die, or worse, they think they can take the deal and find a way to avoid paying the price."
[20:26] <Demedais> "That's possible, too." Demedais inclines his head.
[20:27] <Kotono_Ibis> "Yeah. People are stubborn," Pollyanna looks ahead at the door as Seira searches. "You can speak nothing but truth, but some are going to refuse to believe you."
01[20:27] <Seira> "That's how things are," Seira agrees, "but that's not how they have to remain! And the way seems safe, by the by."
[20:27] <Kotono_Ibis> "It's idealistic," As the blonde archer watches ahead, checking her arrows with one hand, "There's always going to be stubborn idiots out there."
[20:27] <Demedais> "Shall we open it and advance, then?" Demedais offers.
01[20:28] <Seira> "Idealism is great, don't look down on it!" Seira says happily, opening the door ahead.
[20:28] <Kotono_Ibis> The door looks to open by tuggint he chains attached to the door. On a casual tug, Seira realises it's going to take a lot of force to open these huge doors.
06[20:29] * Seira is luckily surrounded by pretty buff paladins!
[20:30] <Demedais> "Need help opening that?" Demedais asks, advancing and taking up one of the chains
[20:30] <Kotono_Ibis> Donald rubs his hands together, "So Demedais, you're big and strong and stubborn. You wanna start pulling?" As the paladin does just that, Donald goes to grab another chain.
06[20:30] * Alicia obligingly goes to help with the doors. "No one's looking down on it, I'm just trying to point out that changing people's hearts is a lot harder than simply pumping them full of information."
01[20:31] <Seira> "Lots of work, great rewards. Sounds like adventuring," Seira says with a laugh, pulling on the chain she's holding.
[20:31] <Kotono_Ibis> OOC: What's your strength mods, guys?
[20:31] <Alicia> OOC: +6 here
01[20:31] <Seira> OOC: +7 while under the spell
[20:31] <Demedais> OOC: +8, buffable to +12.
01[20:32] <Seira> OOC: +8 if it's a str check due to luckstone
[20:32] <Kotono_Ibis> OOC: Donald's +6. One of you make a str check with the sum of those mods?
[20:32] <Alicia> roll 1d20+28
06[20:32] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+28 and gets 37." [1d20=9]
[20:33] <Kotono_Ibis> The party struggles and pulls, but the first effort is in vain. The doors are marvelously heavy, they can't quite get it moving.
[20:33] <Kotono_Ibis> Donald grunts as he pulls, "Damn...like trying to drag blocks of stone dipped in lead."
[20:34] <Alicia> OOC: Deme, want to hulk out and roll?
[20:34] <Demedais> "I'm vaguely impressed." Demedais grimaces. "Made these quite heavy. One more try, then...?" And on three, he leads the pull!
[20:34] <Demedais> roll 1d20+32 sure, let's see here
06[20:34] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+32 sure, let's see here and gets 34." [1d20=2]
[20:36] <Kotono_Ibis> roll 1d4
06[20:36] * Hatbot --> "Kotono_Ibis rolls 1d4 and gets 1." [1d4=1]
[20:38] <Kotono_Ibis> The party pulls! It goes worse, the doors not even budging! Further, Alicia's luck is all wrong! Something in her arm twinges, a rippling cramp passing through her muscles! The pain is sharp as her muscles protest! OOC: 1 str damage, Alicia.
01[20:38] <Seira> "Damn you, door, know your place!" Seira exclaims, the one to lead the others now.
[20:38] <Demedais> "Tch..." Demedais grimaces.
01[20:39] <Seira> roll 1d20+31
06[20:39] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+31 and gets 44." [1d20=13]
[20:40] <Alicia> "Oww!" Alicia yelps, letting go for a moment and giving her arm a shake. "Damn, let me brace myself properly," she grimaces, rubbing some feeling back into her arm before she plants her feet firmly and takes the chains once more, pulling mostly with her other arm this time. Luckily she's ambidextrous.
[20:41] <Kotono_Ibis> This time, there is a massive groan from the door! With a jolt that sends the four pullers staggering back, the doors are thrown wide open! The metal squeals like nothing else, an absolute din of seperated metal! (More)
[20:42] <Kotono_Ibis> Ahead of you is a gentle slope, going down a ways, perhaps 60 feet. At the bottom is a cavern ahead, though you'd need to go down the slope to see what lies in there, as this angle is bad.
06[20:43] * Seira draws her sword, since nothing ahead could've avoided hearing their approach, and steps down the slope.
06[20:43] * Alicia likewise takes hold of her own blade once more and starts heading downwards.
06[20:44] * Demedais follows Seira and Alicia, spear out here as he peers about.
[20:44] <Demedais> roll 1d20+31 spot
06[20:44] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+31 spot and gets 42." [1d20=11]
[20:44] <Kotono_Ibis> Donald rubs his biceps before readying his shield and sword. He follows along, "At least being direct will save us some time later," he says merrily. Pollyanna and Amaryl take up the rear, following along. (More)
[20:46] <Demedais> "Something's coming from the bottom of the slope - it looks almost like glass..." Demedais murmurs. "Another golem like what we fought in the other ruins, Seira?"
01[20:47] <Seira> "Oh that would be just perfect," Seira responds, recalling how that golem cheated death several times.
[20:47] <Demedais> "Indeed." Demedais grumbles, keeping an eye on it so he can point it out with his spear as it advances.
[20:49] <Kotono_Ibis> As the party watches, they come! They are...like glass. No. They are headless humanoids, covered in glass, sharp, broken glass like a shattered set of scales. They run up the slope, or jump to the ceiling and climb that with unearthly grace, or run along the sides of the walls! The light of Pollyanna's sunrod bounces off of them, showing designs of the stars and constellations that seem to turn, as if the night sky was alive in broken glas
[20:49] <Kotono_Ibis> showing designs of the stars and constellations that seem to turn, as if the night sky was alive in broken glass reflections!. They are not only one or two, but eight of them!
06[20:50] * Alicia braces herself to fight the headless horrors, betting that they're not here to provide a peaceful welcome.
01[20:50] <Seira> "This is a new brand of creepy," Seira mutters, stopping at a spot that would allow her to intercept the horrors without letting them past.
[20:51] <Kotono_Ibis> "Where...where are the heads?" Amaryl says in a small voice, "Nothing can live without a head."
[20:51] <Kotono_Ibis> OOC: Are you guys attacking or just watching?
[20:51] <Demedais> "What... the... ... Okay!" Demedais curses, adjusting the glaive in his hands as he stands near Seira, in the way of their motions toward the back. "This ought to be interesting..."
01[20:51] <Seira> "They're not alive. If anything, they want to be put out of their misery!"
01[20:52] <Seira> OOC: Aren't they basically charging towards us? I'm holding till they're in reach
[20:52] <Alicia> OOC: I'm preparing to fight but won't make the first move
[20:53] <Kotono_Ibis> OOC: Okay. Let's go ahead and do initiative to make it all lined up and proper, then?
01[20:53] <Seira> roll 1d20+6
06[20:53] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+6 and gets 8." [1d20=2]
[20:53] <Demedais> roll 1d20+2 kay
06[20:53] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+2 kay and gets 12." [1d20=10]

06[20:53] * Hatbot --> "Kotono_Ibis rolls 1d20+7 Polly wants a 20 and gets 11." [1d20=4]

06[20:53] * Hatbot --> "Kotono_Ibis rolls 1d20+7 Amaryl thinks Hatbot is a jerk and gets 12." [1d20=5]
[20:53] <Kotono_Ibis> roll 1d20+2 Donald wonders if he'll do better by keeping his mouth shut for once?
06[20:53] * Hatbot --> "Kotono_Ibis rolls 1d20+2 Donald wonders if he'll do better by keeping his mouth shut for once? and gets 13." [1d20=11]
[20:54] <Alicia> roll 1d20+8
06[20:54] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+8 and gets 21." [1d20=13]
[20:54] <Kotono_Ibis> roll 1d20+3 1
06[20:54] * Hatbot --> "Kotono_Ibis rolls 1d20+3 1 and gets 15." [1d20=12]
[20:54] <Kotono_Ibis> roll 1d20+3 2
06[20:54] * Hatbot --> "Kotono_Ibis rolls 1d20+3 2 and gets 13." [1d20=10]
[20:54] <Kotono_Ibis> roll 1d20+3 3
06[20:54] * Hatbot --> "Kotono_Ibis rolls 1d20+3 3 and gets 21." [1d20=18]

[20:54] <Kotono_Ibis> roll 1d20+3 6
06[20:54] * Hatbot --> "Kotono_Ibis rolls 1d20+3 6 and gets 15." [1d20=12]
[20:54] <Kotono_Ibis> roll 1d20+3 7
06[20:54] * Hatbot --> "Kotono_Ibis rolls 1d20+3 7 and gets 16." [1d20=13]
[20:54] <Kotono_Ibis> roll 1d20+3 8
06[20:54] * Hatbot --> "Kotono_Ibis rolls 1d20+3 8 and gets 7." [1d20=4]
03[20:54] * Kotono_Ibis changes topic to 'Demedais(12)>Polly(11)>Seira(8)'
03[20:55] * Kotono_Ibis changes topic to 'Alicia=?3(21)>?1(15)>?2=?4=Donald(13)>Demedais(12)=Amaryl>Polly(11)>Seira(8)'

[20:56] <Kotono_Ibis> OOC: Alicia.
06[20:56] * Alicia holds her blade at the ready, poised to strike as soon as the creatures come into range...
[20:57] <Alicia> OOC: readied action to attack when one gets into melee range. What knowledge for devotion?
[20:57] <Kotono_Ibis> OOC: K:D.
[20:57] <Alicia> OOC: i lack it
[20:57] <Kotono_Ibis> The third one, on the left tunnel wall, races along! It comes to within 20 feet of the party, watching! It crawls back and forth, contorting it's body in endless loops and motions! The fifth runs on the ground, coming towards the party's front! OOC: Alicia, you can take your held action to strike it, it's coming within range.
[20:59] <Alicia> The strange movements of the looping one nearby stays Alicia's hand for a moment, unsure whether they really are hostile... "Stop!" she calls as another one races right at them, not wanting to draw blood if there's no cause.
01[21:00] <Seira> "The ghosts wanted to be freed from their existence," Seira calls over to Alicia. "Headless humanoids kept alive by twisted magic through the ages... I'm thinking, they fall into the same category."
[21:01] <Kotono_Ibis> The creature comes to Alicia! It pivots and turns around her body, tumbling and twisting! It's arms and legs bend at angles that would shatter the bones of a human, it's legs going over it's shoulders and twisting it's entire torso over with a soft crack-crinkle of broken glass. OOC: Doing anything, Alicia?
[21:02] <Demedais> "If this really was their base..." Demedais grimaces, eyeing them, "...then they may have papers on these. ...perhaps there's a way to end this, even if not to reverse it?"
06[21:03] * Alicia waves her flaming blade threateningly between herself and the approaching creature, if it doesn't understand her words hopefully the universal language will work.
[21:05] <Kotono_Ibis> The creature draws close to Alicia's blade, the firelight reflecting off the constellations on it's broken body! The seventh meanwhile approaches on the opposite wall, coming to within twenty feet, twisting with such a beautiful horror. The first and the sixth sprint towards the party on the ground! One goes to Demedais, twist-circling around him! The constellations on it's body begin to hum, a low droning sound! Another goes around Donald
[21:05] <Kotono_Ibis> a low droning sound! Another goes around Donald, it's constellations doing the same! OOC: Again, Alicia, or are you going to keep holding?
[21:07] <Alicia> "Maybe they understand gnomish?" Alicia looks over to the people who speak that, uncertain. "I'm not sure they're hostile..."
[21:08] <Alicia> OOC: holding
01[21:08] <Seira> "Retreat at once!" Seira barks in gnomish at the glass figures, willing to test out Alicia's theory.
[21:08] <Demedais> "Please get off us." Demedais utters in Gnomish at this, testing the theory. "Retreat at once."
[21:10] <Kotono_Ibis> The creatures look towards Demedais. At once they twist over, bowing. The ones who haven't advanced immediately retreat back, then the rest follow.
[21:11] <Demedais> "..." Demedais muses at this. "Why me? Seira was more forceful and spoke first."
[21:11] <Alicia> "What did each of you say?" Alicia asks, warily watching them retreat.
[21:11] <Demedais> "Please get off us. Retreat at once."
01[21:12] <Seira> "They like you more," Seira says with a shrug. "I still think we should destroy them to end such a wretched existence, but that could wait." At Alicia's question, she snorts. "Except I didn't bother with the first part."
[21:13] <Alicia> "If they ask to be destroyed I might consider it, but their definition of wretched might be different than yours," Alicia replies. "We should try to better understand the situation here before doing anything rash."
[21:14] <Kotono_Ibis> "Still, that's going to haunt my dreams," Amaryl whispers, "Why didn't they have heads?"
01[21:14] <Seira> roll 1d20+12 K:D
06[21:14] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+12 K:D and gets 24." [1d20=12]
06[21:15] * Demedais pulls out the vase after a few seconds more thought. "Remember when I said I thought these might get us past some of the defenses? Perhaps that's the case." he muses, looking in at them.
[21:16] <Kotono_Ibis> The tokens lie in the jar as Demedais last saw them. "If they're smart, it could also be a chance todraw is into an ambush?" Donald advances down a little more, peering.
01[21:16] <Seira> "If there's any undead around, we could try siccing those abberations on them, at least."
[21:16] <Alicia> "They seemed to hear well enough even without ears... lets continue on and perhaps we'll make some sense of this?" Alicia suggests, continuing down the slope.
06[21:17] * Demedais nods and advances, putting the vase back inside the handy haversack.
06[21:17] * Seira opts to stick by Amaryl for the trip below.
[21:20] <Kotono_Ibis> Once you reach the bottom of the slope, you can see farther ahead. Here, the jungle is alive. All over, plants that should not be plants are about. Plants that are colored in the rainbow, plants with metallic stems or steel petals. Ahead is a road of steel, unrusted by the years. The jungle is thick on either side of it. Sixty feet ahead is a small building, it's front poking out of the jungle. Two hundred feet ahead lies another small bu
[21:20] <Kotono_Ibis> Two hundred feet ahead lies another small building off the sid eof the path. Three hundred feet ahead? The jungle ends on a hard wall. Built into this tall dead end, the ceiling reaching up high? The front of a fortress has been built in, entirely of gleaming steel with highlights of blue metal.
[21:21] <Alicia> "A jungle? We're half a mile underground," Alicia observes in disbelief, shaking her head as she starts flying over the road, heading towards the nearby small building.
[21:22] <Demedais> "...how bizarre." Demedais says, looking around before he walks out.
[21:22] <Demedais> roll 1d20+31
06[21:22] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+31 and gets 51." [1d20=20]
[21:22] <Kotono_Ibis> "I think disbelief went by the wayside when we dealt with...oh, I don't know, all of this?" Donald waves his arms, "You know, wild magic, insanity and all that?"
01[21:23] <Seira> "This is even crazier than that, but at least it makes life unpredictable and fun," Seira muses, for her part.
[21:28] <Demedais> "As a slight note, there are eyes looking at us from the jungle. Don't ask me to count, we'd be here all day." Demedais says, stepping out a bit as well as Alicia moves ahead. "Shall we check this small building first?"
[21:29] <Alicia> "What, eyes like the coral out in the water or eyes belonging to actual creatures?" Alicia asks, looking around herself.
[21:30] <Kotono_Ibis> OOC: You can make spot if you like, Alicia.
[21:30] <Alicia> roll 1d20+10
06[21:30] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+10 and gets 16." [1d20=6]
[21:31] <Kotono_Ibis> Amaryl has arrows ready, "Are they hostile?"
[21:31] <Demedais> "Creatures. Mostly. I think." Demedais grimaces. "Everywhere. I'm not kidding. They... aren't moving? Yet? Let's get inside, either way."
01[21:33] <Seira> Looking over the nearest building has her vote, and Seira decides to seek entry. After searching for traps, of course.
[21:33] <Alicia> "We can see you, so you might as well come out," Alicia challenges the shadowy things, even though they probably can't understand her. Hopefully her tone and body language will get the point across as she hovers in midair and points at the nearest.
[21:34] <Kotono_Ibis> The party approacehs the nearest building as Alicia calls out! At this, the jungle on both sides breaks apart! Six of them come out, four on the left side and two on the right! They were once perhaps trolls. They are now suffused with iron, bodyparts half organic and half metal. They have powerful clubs in hand, screaming in gnomish, "Die...False...Ones!" OOC: These ones are very obviously hostile. Let's do init.
[21:35] <Kotono_Ibis> OOC: These ones are very obviously hostile. Let's do init.

06[21:35] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+2 wooooo and gets 21." [1d20=19]

[21:38] <Demedais> "I don't suppose there's any chance you'd listen to me, is there?" Demedais growls in Gnomish, spear up.
[21:38] <Kotono_Ibis> The second troll charges all out, going right for Pollyanna!
[21:38] <Kotono_Ibis> roll 1d20+21 (+2 charge, -4 PA)

06[21:39] * Hatbot --> "Kotono_Ibis rolls 1d100 and gets 14." [1d100=14]
[21:40] <Kotono_Ibis> The club blow slams where Pollyanna isn't, missing her so close that a breeze sends the small woman's hair flying! The third troll repeats the stunt, going for Pollyanna as well!

06[21:43] * Hatbot --> "Kotono_Ibis rolls 1d20+8 and gets 20." [1d20=12]
[21:43] <Kotono_Ibis> The blow leaves Pollyanna ultimately kneeing, dazed! OOC: Polly's dazed for one round. Now oyu're up, Deme.
[21:44] <Demedais> "Guess not!" With that Demedais steps in and jabs repeatedly at the troll which hit Pollyanna, attempting to judge its defenses via shredding it apart!

06[21:46] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 2d10+22 also, Protection Devotion up and gets 36." [2d10=6, 8]
[21:47] <Kotono_Ibis> Demedais spears into the back of the troll! HE finds his spear has trouble thrusting in, it's metal reinforced body hard to damage! The wounds also seem to begin healing near instantly! OOC: Donald's up.
[21:48] <Demedais> "Resistance -and- regeneration." Demedais grimaces. "We may need magic's aid here..."
[21:48] <Kotono_Ibis> Donald takes a small step in, going to harass the one Demedais just hit, channeling magic into his blade!
01[21:48] <Seira> "All we need is fire!" Seira says happily.
[21:48] <Demedais> "Can Lagann rip them apart?"
01[21:49] <Seira> "I'd rather not ask him try that on the living!" Seira responds instantly.

[21:51] <Kotono_Ibis> Donald rips into the side of the troll, drawing some blood! It barely seems to feel it or care, intent on it's battle! OOC: Alicia.

[21:54] <Kotono_Ibis> The troll is surrounded by two sides and air now! Alicia stabs her sword into the shoulder of the beast, but it lives on! Further, the fire damage starts to mend just like the cut! OOC: Polly's dazed. Amaryl's up.
[21:59] <Kotono_Ibis> Amaryl runs back down towards the stairs, firing off a swarm of arrows at the wounded troll!

[22:01] <Kotono_Ibis> One of the arrows gets into the face of the troll, a shallow wound that has blood trickle down over it's cheek! A moment later, the first troll runs out! The fifth on the right follows, and the both go for Amaryl, doubleteaming her!
[22:01] <Kotono_Ibis> roll 1d20+22 (+2 charge, -3 PA)

01[22:13] <Seira> OOC: Assuming flat-footness and Deme's aura, I'm at 38
[22:13] <Kotono_Ibis> The two go headlong at Seira! One misses bad, while the other one somehow misses, the protective energies of Demedais shielding her from harm! OOC: Seira.
06[22:14] * Seira calls upon Waukeen's blessing, seeing no reason to hold back when Amaryl is in danger. "Lagann, strike at the troll on the left!" Seira commands her friend, trusting it to harrass one of the trolls dangerously close to Amaryl with a dagger, before she's also there, ready to smite the being from the face of the world!
01[22:15] <Seira> OOC: Devotion, I'll tumble to get there
[22:15] <Kotono_Ibis> roll 1d20+8
06[22:15] * Hatbot --> "Kotono_Ibis rolls 1d20+8 and gets 26." [1d20=18]

[22:18] <Kotono_Ibis> Seira tumbles and moves swiftly, going to aid Amaryl! She dodges a flurry of club-swings, each one missing her as she positions! Meanwhile Lagann directs a dagger, but it bounces off the metal studded back of one of the trolls! Seira runs in and smites and swings, but her pair of blows bounce off as well!

01[22:25] <Seira> 'Amaryl, leave this to me and retreat!' Seira thinks to her. 'If you withdraw, trolls may not be able to catch up!'
06[22:26] * Demedais grimaces. "For the love of... Focus on defense when you can, Pollyanna!" This said, the spear is dropped and with a quick draw from the scabbard, a sweeping slash is drawn across the back of the first troll to hit Pollyanna, Demedais seeming to focus intently as he does this! OOC: Spear drop, Law Devotion since this seems like one of the main fights we'll have here, sword drawn, cut troll.

[22:29] <Kotono_Ibis> Demedais slashes into the troll, staggering it horribly! It yet survives, bloodied but intact despite horrific woundings!

[22:31] <Kotono_Ibis> With arcane fire slashes and a kick off, the troll falls onto it's face! It's downed and dazed, even as it's body tries to repair the obviously fatal damage from Donald ripping it's torso into shreds! OOC: Alicia.
[22:32] <Demedais> "Excellent blow, Donald!"
[22:33] <Kotono_Ibis> OOC: Forgot GMW, but it doesn't matter there. Dur.
06[22:33] * Alicia focuses on the thus far untouched troll that's been allowed to maim Pollyanna with impunity, intending to put a stop to that right quick. "Perish, foul thing!" she calls as a slight jink of her flapping wings puts her above it and she whirls around its upper body and head in a blurring storm of blades to rend it into nothingness from which no amount of regeneration will save it!

[22:36] <Kotono_Ibis> What happens to that troll is impossible to describe. If not for the fact it's body still creeps together, one would think it's a pile of green and bloody splatters on the ground. It's certainly not menaching anyone for a long time. OOC: Ow. Polly's up.
[22:38] <Kotono_Ibis> Pollyanan staggers back five feet safely, before unloading on the troll that was wouded by Donald and Demedais, a volley of quick arrows!
[22:39] <Kotono_Ibis> roll 1d20+20 (+2 helmet)
06[22:39] * Hatbot --> "Kotono_Ibis rolls 1d20+20 (+2 helmet) and gets 21." [1d20=1]

06[22:39] * Hatbot --> "Kotono_Ibis rolls 1d20+8 and gets 22." [1d20=14]
[22:40] <Kotono_Ibis> Safe but bloodied, Pollyanna fires! Yet all of her shots are misses, weaving around in the chaotic tides of battle! OOC: Amaryl.
[22:40] <Kotono_Ibis> Amaryl withdraws to safety, running up the steps and and away from the trolls that threaten to turn her into a pile of red giblets! OOC: Trolls are up, Amaryl withdrew and moved away 80ft.
[22:41] <Kotono_Ibis> The first troll turns on Seira, unloading it's clubbing fury onto the half dragon!

06[22:42] * Hatbot --> "Kotono_Ibis rolls 1d20+19 bite and gets 27." [1d20=8]
01[22:42] <Seira> OOC: AC 38
[22:42] <Kotono_Ibis> OOC: AC?
[22:42] <Kotono_Ibis> The troll fails to connect, the other one looking at Amaryl's retreat, before going after Seira as well!
[22:42] <Kotono_Ibis> roll 1d20+23
06[22:42] * Hatbot --> "Kotono_Ibis rolls 1d20+23 and gets 30." [1d20=7]

06[22:43] * Hatbot --> "Kotono_Ibis rolls 1d20+21 and gets 24." [1d20=3]
[22:43] <Kotono_Ibis> But neither troll can successfully land a hit on her! (More)
[22:44] <Kotono_Ibis> The sixth troll turns onto Donald, as does the fourth! Both go after him, reaching to try and maim the duskblade!
[22:45] <Kotono_Ibis> roll 1d20+22 (-1 PA)

[22:46] <Kotono_Ibis> roll 1d6+7
06[22:46] * Hatbot --> "Kotono_Ibis rolls 1d6+7 and gets 8." [1d6=1]
[22:47] <Kotono_Ibis> Donald is clubbed and knocked around, but he mostly stays successfully on the defensive! He blocks one club with a shield, as the mystic energies around him divert another! OOC: Seira.
06[22:47] * Seira smiles nastily. So they've decided to stick around. How nice! She dismisses any opponent but the one she'd already wounded with her claw, and seems to burn with an inner fire as she unwittingly mirrors Alicia's actions and flies up just a bit before attacking it in earnest!
01[22:47] <Seira> roll 1d20+24
06[22:47] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+24 and gets 28." [1d20=4]

01[22:48] <Seira> roll 1d4 man
06[22:48] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d4 man and gets 3." [1d4=3]

06[22:48] * Hatbot --> "Kotono_Ibis rolls 1d20+8 Lagann and gets 23." [1d20=15]
01[22:49] <Seira> OOC: +3 more damage, whee
06[22:49] * Seira then uses her chance to slip away from the two trolls, slipping between then and Amaryl.
01[22:49] <Seira> roll 1d20+15 tumble
06[22:49] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+15 tumble and gets 33." [1d20=18]
[22:50] <Kotono_Ibis> Fighting and hacking, Seira is able to rip her free claw into the arm of the troll as the two fight hard! She can't get a decisive blow, only a bloodied wound for the trouble before she safely retreats back! OOC: Deme.
06[22:51] * Demedais turns to the one Pollyanna attacked, a bitter smile on his face. "Adamantine, eh? No surprise, but let's make this one to remember!" With that, he launches an upward cut, before bringing the blade down and then across the troll's back!
[22:51] <Demedais> roll 1d20+26 (-6 PA, +6 Law Dev, +1 GMW)
06[22:51] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+26 (-6 PA, +6 Law Dev, +1 GMW) and gets 37." [1d20=11]
[22:51] <Demedais> roll 1d20+21 (-6 PA, +6 Law Dev, +1 GMW)

[22:52] <Demedais> roll 4d6+52
06[22:52] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 4d6+52 and gets 68." [4d6=6, 4, 1, 5]
[22:54] <Kotono_Ibis> Demedais finds no trouble cutting into that troll, ripping it's side into bloodied shreds that fail to down it, it's warty face screaming defiance! OOC: Donald.
[22:54] <Kotono_Ibis> Donald does the same, stepping smoothly into range and hacking, channeling another spell in to try and finish thet roll off!
[22:54] <Kotono_Ibis> roll 1d20+12
06[22:54] * Hatbot --> "Kotono_Ibis rolls 1d20+12 and gets 22." [1d20=10]

06[22:55] * Hatbot --> "Kotono_Ibis rolls 1d100 so close and yet so far and gets 91." [1d100=91]
[22:56] <Kotono_Ibis> "Gaaaah!" Donald instead squirms all over, "Gaaack! It's like fire! Itches like fire!" he calls, wiggling about! OOC: Alicia.
06[22:57] * Alicia had been about to go and help Seira and Amaryl, but Donald's issues convince her she's still needed here. Flying overhead, she joins Demedais at the still standing wounded troll, her blade arcing down to slash at its metal-studded torso!
[22:58] <Alicia> roll 1d20+23 -5 pa
06[22:58] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+23 -5 pa and gets 34." [1d20=11]

06[22:58] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d8+23+2d6+1d6+1d6 and gets 43." [1d8=1][2d6=5, 6][1d6=2][1d6=6]
[22:58] <Kotono_Ibis> roll 1d10
06[22:58] * Hatbot --> "Kotono_Ibis rolls 1d10 and gets 4." [1d10=4]
[22:59] <Kotono_Ibis> "It's like my clothes BURN and ITCH!" Donald complains as Alicia stabs the troll! Oh, but it still clings to life, Pollyanna firing to try and remedy this!
[22:59] <Kotono_Ibis> roll 1d20+18
06[22:59] * Hatbot --> "Kotono_Ibis rolls 1d20+18 and gets 27." [1d20=9]
[22:59] <Kotono_Ibis> roll 1d20+18
06[22:59] * Hatbot --> "Kotono_Ibis rolls 1d20+18 and gets 23." [1d20=5]

06[22:59] * Hatbot --> "Kotono_Ibis rolls 1d8+12+1d6 and gets 21." [1d8=7][1d6=2]
[23:00] <Kotono_Ibis> The troll gets an arrow in it's guts, staggering but barely, just barely, clinging to awareness despite bleeding all over! OOC: Amaryl.
01[23:00] <Seira> 'Hit them, go for volume!' Seira thinks to Amaryl.
[23:01] <Kotono_Ibis> Amaryl stays where she is, firing a great volley of arrows!
[23:01] <Kotono_Ibis> roll 1d20+13

06[23:04] * Hatbot --> "Kotono_Ibis rolls 1d20+25 second one continues the charging and gets 33." [1d20=8]
01[23:05] <Seira> "Oh, you poor, deluded things," Seira says with an exaggerated sigh, dodging by a hair's breadth. "So eager to die at my hands."
[23:05] <Kotono_Ibis> The fourth troll, staggering, goes for Donald, as does the other!

[23:07] <Kotono_Ibis> Donald is knocked around, dazed and woozy from a severe case of the clubs and bites! OOC: SEira.
01[23:07] <Seira> It would be trivial for Lagann to strike at the back of the troll she had been fighting from the start, and once he does, Seira would use that chance to commence her assault!

06[23:08] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+24 and gets 32." [1d20=8]

06[23:10] * Seira glares at the remaining one!

[23:15] <Kotono_Ibis> Another horrible end comes to this troll, turning it into a pile of destroyed kibble! Pollyanna smiles in relief, firing at the fourth troll with one precise, pwoerful shot!

01[23:21] <Seira> "This is where you give up and plead for me to spare your life," she tells it in gnomish, striking back in tandem with Lagann!

[20:40] <Kotono> <Seira> roll 1d20+18 again?
[20:40] <Kotono> * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+18 again? and gets 27." [1d20=9]

[20:40] <Kotono> * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 3d8+11+5d8 and gets 58." [3d8=6, 6, 6][5d8=6, 5, 8, 3, 7]
[20:40] <Kotono> <Seira> roll 1d6+3+5d8
[20:40] <Kotono> * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d6+3+5d8 and gets 31." [1d6=5][5d8=4, 3, 5, 4, 7]
[20:40] <Kotono> > OOC: Not quite a kill. I'm really outta time, so we'll resume there tomorrow.
[20:40] <Kotono> * Topic is 'Demedais(21?!)>Donald(19)>Alicia(18)>Polly(13)>Amaryl(12)>Troll 5(10)>Seira(7)'
[20:40] <Kotono> * Set by Kotono_Ibis on Thu May 28 16:18:35
[20:41] <Kotono> Seira catches into the last troll, savaging it's regenerating innards and catching it completely off guards and balance! It's staggered and bleeding, seriously wounded even by it's abilities! OOC: Deme.
06[20:43] * Demedais quickly moves to coup the troll that's had the most time to regenerate with his sword, hoping the adamantine edge will be enough to make this permanent!
[20:44] <Kotono> Demedais hacks into the troll, cutting it's neck! It's blood gushes out as it's body goes still, slain for a second andf inald time! Donald meanwhile huffs air in and out, "SEira, you need help?"
01[20:44] <Seira> "Probably not!"
[20:44] <Kotono> Donald holds his position, in case any of the trolls rise! OOC: Alicia.
06[20:46] * Alicia isn't in any mood to hang about with these things, and whirls in the air to target the last troll standing before a powerful flap of her wings sends her zooming towards it, her flaming blade flicking through its neck as she passes!
[20:46] <Alicia> roll 1d20+25 -4pa, flanking
06[20:46] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+25 -4pa, flanking and gets 36." [1d20=11]
[20:47] <Kotono> OOC: Hit.
[20:47] <Alicia> roll 1d8+21+2d6+1d6+1d6
06[20:47] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d8+21+2d6+1d6+1d6 and gets 38." [1d8=1][2d6=6, 5][1d6=3][1d6=2]
[20:48] <Kotono> Flyign through the air, Alicia charges! THe troll is staggering from Seira's blows, unable to stop a backstab! It collapses down, neck cut deeply! OOC: Free act.
06[20:48] * Seira gives Alicia a wave as she downs the last troll, before moving over to Amaryl and looking her over.
[20:49] <Kotono> Pollyanna takes careful aim, starting to fire arrows regularly into the downed but still alive trolls. "Donald, help me make sure they stay down until Demedais gets to them!"
[20:49] <Kotono> "Yeah," Donald goes to aid, ripping and hacking at trolls as he whistles.
[20:49] <Alicia> "I think Demedais is the only one who can actually kill them, but they should stay down long enough for him to make the rounds," Alicia nods to Seira as she lands beside the one she just downed, ready to act if any get up prematurely.
[20:49] <Kotono> "I'm okay..." Huffing out a long breath of air, "They were so savage! What possessed them to attack us without any provocation?"
[20:49] <Kotono> OOC: Gah.
[20:50] <Kotono> "I'm okay..." Huffing out a long breath of air, "They were so savage! What possessed them to attack us without any provocation?" Amaryl checks over her gear, exhaling and holding her chest. "The stoneskin magic stopped the worst of it."
06[20:51] * Demedais continues to coup trolls until they're all finished, nodding to the group at the end.
[20:51] <Kotono> As he goes about hacking up trolls, "Ow...damn, I still hurt. We could use some healing after this. Stoneskin or not, I'm hurting." Donald keeps his eyes down on his work, as Demedais finishes the trolls off.
01[20:52] <Seira> "Brainwashed by the gnomes, probably?" Seira suggests. "Maybe they just went insane, being the only things left around for millennia?"
06[20:52] * Alicia flies over to Donald and taps his shoulder. "This should work, even if it's not much," she reassures him, channeling some healing spellfire into his form.
[20:52] <Alicia> roll 3d4+3
06[20:52] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 3d4+3 and gets 13." [3d4=4, 2, 4]
[20:52] <Kotono> "Hey, thanks," Smiling to Alicia, "Still," Stretching his body out, "If we get pressured harder, we may need to make a quick retreat, stoneskin or no."
06[20:52] * Alicia then approaches Pollyanna. "I have a healing spell, but... wild magic," she shrugs apologetically. "Still, you look like you need it. Want to chance it?"
06[20:53] * Seira decides to try using healing magic on Amaryl!
01[20:53] <Seira> OOC: CL for CMW?
[20:53] <Kotono> OOC: Yes.
01[20:53] <Seira> roll 1d20+17
06[20:53] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+17 and gets 31." [1d20=14]
[20:53] <Kotono> OOC: Function sas normal.
01[20:53] <Seira> roll 2d8+10
06[20:53] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 2d8+10 and gets 15." [2d8=1, 4]
[20:54] <Kotono> The magic functions correctly, mending some of Amaryl's wounds. "I'll chance it," Pollyanna says in the meanwhile.
[20:54] <Demedais> "I'd offer healing, but the odds of it working for me aren't worth the odds of it backfiring." Demedais shrugs. "Not at this juncture."
06[20:54] * Alicia nods and puts a hand on Polly's flank where a particularly vicious clawswipe got through, attempting to invoke the required positive energies.
[20:54] <Kotono> "I'll try some," Donald speaks up, "What's the worst that could happen? I'd rather risk it now than end up dying later."
[20:54] <Alicia> roll 1d20+17 CL check
06[20:54] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+17 CL check and gets 25." [1d20=8]
[20:54] <Kotono> OOC: Success.
[20:54] <Alicia> roll 3d8+15
06[20:54] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 3d8+15 and gets 31." [3d8=6, 8, 2]
[20:55] <Kotono> "Thanks," Pollyanna brightens up, "While Donald decides to play roulette with his life, are we going to keep going and search the building right ahead, or move onwards past it?"
01[20:56] <Seira> "We might as well search everything we come across," Seira comments, drawing closer.
[20:56] <Alicia> "We should try to avoid leaving anything behind, we might miss a clue or item that could help us later on," Alicia replies, letting Seira check it for traps while Donald is healed, keeping an eye out for trouble.
01[20:56] <Seira> roll 1d20+25 search TRAPS
06[20:56] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+25 search TRAPS and gets 29." [1d20=4]
[20:57] <Kotono> The front of the building is well worn but even better kept. It has a single set of doors near the end facing the party. The sides and back are cloaked by thick rainbow-jungle. The door inside doesn't seem to be trapped. There's a few fragments of what looks to be bleached-white bone around it, though.
06[20:57] * Demedais nods slightly to Donald before walking over and trying to heal his injuries.
[20:58] <Demedais> roll 1d20+8 CL check
06[20:58] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+8 CL check and gets 24." [1d20=16]
[20:58] <Kotono> OOC: Success.
[20:58] <Demedais> roll 4d8+8 (sacrifice Freedom of Movement)
06[20:58] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 4d8+8 (sacrifice Freedom of Movement) and gets 26." [4d8=7, 8, 1, 2]
[20:58] <Kotono> Demedais calls on the power of Helm, successfully mending some of Donald's more egregreious wounds!
06[20:58] * Seira opens the door, glancing inside!
01[20:59] <Seira> roll 1d20+11
06[20:59] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+11 and gets 19." [1d20=8]
[21:01] <Kotono> A front room, an empty front room. Save for a few shards of metal lying about, nothing here signifying what it may have once been. There are twin doors leading farther back and northwards, towards the path the street runs on. They're made of metal and slightly ajar. Lying about the room are a pair of skeletons, perfectly weathered and smooth, bone white.
01[21:02] <Seira> 'Anything fun nearby?' Seira mentally asks Lagann, glancing at the shards of metal curiously.
[21:02] <Demedais> "Should I try again?" Demedais shrugs to Donald.
[21:03] <Kotono> "I'm okay now," Donald says, walking up to Seira. "See anything in there?"
06[21:03] * Alicia follows Seira inside and glances at the skeleton. Are they of gnomish proportions?
[21:03] <Kotono> They're too big for it on a glance. OOC: You can make K:N here if you want, Alicia.
01[21:03] <Seira> "Just really smooth metal," Seira responds, searching the room for anything fun and unusual.
01[21:03] <Seira> roll 1d20+25
06[21:03] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+25 and gets 28." [1d20=3]
[21:03] <Alicia> roll 1d20+5
06[21:03] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+5 and gets 11." [1d20=6]
01[21:04] <Seira> roll 1d20+16 K:N
06[21:04] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+16 K:N and gets 30." [1d20=14]
[21:04] <Kotono> The room has little of interest to be found in it.
06[21:04] * Demedais follows the group over to the room, looking around outside.
[21:04] <Demedais> roll 1d20+31 spot
06[21:04] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+31 spot and gets 48." [1d20=17]
01[21:04] <Seira> "Trolls!" Seira exclaims, nodding to herself.
06[21:05] * Seira goes to check both doors for traps!
01[21:05] <Seira> OOC: 10 for 35 on each?
[21:05] <Kotono> The doors are not trapped or lock. As they're slightly ajar, one could easily open them or peek through.
06[21:06] * Seira peeks through the doors!
06[21:06] * Demedais follows Seira in
[21:07] <Kotono> Inside is a long, long hall. It's very empty...about are occasional burn and blast marks. Every about ten feet or so are piles of what looks to be nails and screws. Occasionally coins, a stray weapon or the like lies about on the floor. No sign of furniture or anything awry.
01[21:07] <Seira> roll 1d20+11
06[21:07] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+11 and gets 29." [1d20=18]
[21:07] <Kotono> Amaryl follows along behind Seira, "What is it?"
01[21:08] <Seira> "I figure where they experimented on the trolls," Seira says with distaste. "I lack the words to express my displeasure properly."
06[21:09] * Seira frowns slightly. "In any case, there's something up ahead, so I'll check it out."
01[21:09] <Seira> roll 1d20+25 search TRAPS
06[21:09] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+25 search TRAPS and gets 43." [1d20=18]
[21:09] <Demedais> "...sickening." Demedais mutters, keeping a bit behind Seira as he follows, looking about.
[21:09] <Kotono> OOC: Going on ahead and in, Seira?
01[21:09] <Seira> OOC: Yes, assuming the path isn't trapped to hell
[21:10] <Kotono> OOC: Following, Deme?
[21:11] <Demedais> OOC: Yeah.
[21:11] <Demedais> roll 1d20+31 Spot spot
06[21:11] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+31 Spot spot and gets 40." [1d20=9]
[21:11] <Kotono> As the two go in and begin to search about...(More)
[21:13] <Demedais> roll 1d20+5
06[21:13] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+5 and gets 7." [1d20=2]
[21:13] <Demedais> "Seira. Ceiling. A rippling movement." Demedais says, low and clipped.
06[21:14] * Seira leaps back towards the more-defensible doorway, looking in the direction Demedais had indicated!
06[21:15] * Alicia looks in from the main room at Seira's sudden leap backwards, a hand tensing on her sword.
[21:15] <Kotono> "What's going on," Amaryl calls, "Are you alright, Seira?"
06[21:15] * Demedais moves to the side as well, watching it carefully.
06[21:16] * Seira backs away until she's standing in the doorway, frowning. "Yeah, I'm fine. But something's weird. Can you keep a lookout outside?"
[21:16] <Kotono> Demedais can just see a strange, odd rippling in the air! It follows you as you move...and then it's falling! OOC: You can make a ref save if you like, Deme. Radius/concentration doesn't apply.
[21:17] <Demedais> roll 1d20+12 kay
06[21:17] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+12 kay and gets 16." [1d20=4]
[21:18] <Kotono> Smoosh! Demedais feels engulfed by something hot and burning! It's all ove rhim, surrounding him, choking him! The others can see Demedais, a slight, transparent glaize over his body! It's like he's being pressed into something from all sides and all around him! There is a soft, wet thump on the ground as this happens! (More)
[21:18] <Kotono> roll 6d8 and 1 dex damage, Deme. Also make a fort save.
06[21:18] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 6d8 and 1 dex damage, Deme. Also make a fort save. and gets 35." [6d8=8, 7, 6, 8, 3, 3]
[21:18] <Kotono> OOC: ACid damage, resistance applies.
[21:19] <Demedais> roll 1d20+24
06[21:19] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+24 and gets 43." [1d20=19]
[21:19] <Kotono> OOC: We'll do init from here, I think. Deme and whatever the hell has him is 30 feet away or so from the entrance to this empty hall.
[21:20] <Kotono> "Demedais!?" Pollyanna draws arrows like lightning, "Demedais?"
[21:20] <Alicia> roll 1d20+8
06[21:20] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+8 and gets 14." [1d20=6]

[21:21] <Demedais> roll 1d20+1 augh, sorry
06[21:21] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+1 augh, sorry and gets 18." [1d20=17]
03[21:22] * Kotono changes topic to 'Demedais=Amaryl>Alicia>Seira>Polly>Donald>????'
[21:22] <Kotono> OOC: Deme, you're up.
06[21:25] * Demedais grimaces at the... slime, or whatever, that seems to be surrounding him, before attempting to disengage with it and retreat!
[21:25] <Kotono> OOC: Grapple checks.
[21:25] <Demedais> roll 1d20+21 right
06[21:25] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+21 right and gets 24." [1d20=3]
[21:25] <Kotono> roll 1d20+19
06[21:25] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+19 and gets 33." [1d20=14]
[21:26] <Kotono> Demedais seems to struggle in some unknown force, white glaize around him shifting as he works, but nothing seems to come of it! OOC: Amaryl's holding for the moment, she has no clue what the hell. Alicia?
06[21:28] * Alicia approaches Demedais somewhat gingerly, a look of intense concentration on her face. "Hold still, Demedais," she murmurs insistently, trying to carefully line her sword up before shearing it through some of the gloop surrounding him hopefully without hurting the man himself!
[21:28] <Alicia> roll 1d20+13 assuming arcana for knowledge?
06[21:28] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+13 assuming arcana for knowledge? and gets 15." [1d20=2]
[21:28] <Kotono> OOC: How close are you getting?
[21:28] <Alicia> OOC: within 5 feet
[21:29] <Kotono> OOC: And it's K:D. Make that first then I'll react before you do anything else.
[21:29] <Alicia> OOC: I lack it
[21:30] <Kotono> Alicia approaches! She comes to nearly five feet within im, but bounces off a strange, soft gloop! It singes her skin lightly, armor steaming from the contact!
[21:30] <Alicia> OOC: Can I see the stuff I just bounced off of?
[21:30] <Kotono> OOC: Yeah, enough to have an idea of what area to attack. You'd still be attacking an invisible foe, bear in mind.
[21:31] <Alicia> "It's a lot bigger than it looks!" Alicia yelps in alarm at the singe, stepping back briefly before her sword whips upwards with abandon, far less restrained since she has a lot more room to play with without endangering Demedais!
[21:31] <Alicia> roll 1d20+20 -5 pa
06[21:31] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+20 -5 pa and gets 30." [1d20=10]
[21:31] <Alicia> roll 1d100
[21:31] <Kotono> OOC: Hit. D100?
06[21:31] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d100 and gets 7." [1d100=7]
[21:32] <Kotono> Alicia swings with wild abandon, but her blow misses whatever it is, not cutting anything! OOC: Seira.
[21:32] <Alicia> "But not that big... dammit, it's hard to tell just where it starts and ends!" Alicia cautions as her swing travels too far without resistance, stepping back to compensate and regain her footing.
01[21:33] <Seira> 'Aim for the target of Alicia's attacks!' Seira thinks to Amaryl, even as she releases the Resort to Lagann so that he might try to aid the pair of paladins. 'Volume over quality!' For her part, she draws her bow and tries to shoot an arrow with all her strength!
01[21:33] <Seira> roll 1d20+10 (10 PA)
06[21:33] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+10 (10 PA) and gets 28." [1d20=18]

01[21:34] <Seira> roll 1d100

01[21:34] <Seira> roll 1d8+24
06[21:34] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d8+24 and gets 27." [1d8=3]
[21:35] <Kotono> Shooting with power, Seira fires off an arrow! It rips through past Demedais, covered in a strange, faint, white gloop as it flies through something, landing past it a ways! The wood of the arrow haft burns and looks corroded, smoking under the glaize! A moment later, Amaryl tries firing arrows at the same spot!
03[21:36] * Kotono changes topic to 'Demedais>Alicia>Seira=Amaryl>Polly>Donald>????'
01[21:36] <Seira> roll 1d20+12 K:D
06[21:36] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+12 K:D and gets 23." [1d20=11]

[21:37] <Kotono> roll 2d8+2+2d6
06[21:37] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 2d8+2+2d6 and gets 17." [2d8=2, 6][2d6=2, 5]
[21:37] <Kotono> Arrow lets rip a great storm of arrows, feeling out at the strange, unseen thing! A few rip through, hissing and burning like SEira's arrows, sending little splurts of the strange material about! Pollyanna adds her own supporting fire in a second later!
[21:38] <Kotono> roll 1d20+18
[21:38] <Kotono> roll 1d20+18
06[21:38] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+18 and gets 27." [1d20=9]

[21:38] <Kotono> roll 2d8+2d6+24
06[21:38] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 2d8+2d6+24 and gets 42." [2d8=3, 8][2d6=4, 3]
[21:39] <Kotono> Flaming arrows follow up a second time, more damage done, perhaps, to whatever it is! The arrows pass through, making smouldering holes in it's wake! Donald charges along with Alicia, hacking around where she did!
[21:39] <Kotono> roll 1d20+19 (-2 levels)
06[21:39] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+19 (-2 levels) and gets 30." [1d20=11]

03[21:40] * Alicia sets mode: -v Hatbot
[21:40] <Kotono> Donald is able to hack and slash at the unseen foe, finding a successful damage point! OOC: Whatever it is, it's up.
02[21:41] * Rei-chan (Rei-chan@user-5af1aba2.tcl121.dsl.pol.co.uk) Quit

03[21:41] * Ebiris is now known as Alicia
[21:42] <Kotono> Something warm and soft is pressing against Alicia and Donald, the captive Demedais moving forward as well! OOC: Ref saves, you two.
[21:43] <Alicia> roll 1d20+19
06[21:43] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+19 and gets 21." [1d20=2]
[21:43] <Kotono> roll 1d20+4 Donald hates those negative levels a whole lot.
06[21:43] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+4 Donald hates those negative levels a whole lot. and gets 18." [1d20=14]
[21:44] <Kotono> A moment later, Alicia and Donald are in the same straights as Demedais! They're surrounded by that white glaize, which then advances to within 10 feet of Seira and the archers! OOC: Alicia, you're considered grappled. So is Donald. You can act on your go to tyr and remedy that. All three of you take 6d8 acid, take 1 dex and have to make a fort save.
[21:44] <Kotono> roll 6d8 acid and 1 dex damage

[21:45] <Alicia> OOC: Doesn't freedom of movement protect me?
[21:45] <Alicia> roll 1d20+24 fort if needed
06[21:45] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+24 fort if needed and gets 32." [1d20=8]
[21:46] <Kotono> OOC: It'll end it's move out of you, but going through all of you will inflict the damage and the need for the save. Donald's the only one that failed it, though.
[21:46] <Kotono> roll 3d6 poor Donald
06[21:46] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 3d6 poor Donald and gets 9." [3d6=1, 3, 5]
03[21:46] * Kotono changes topic to 'Demedais>Alicia>Seira=Amaryl>Polly>Donald(Paralysed 9 rounds)>????'
[21:47] <Alicia> OOC: So I'm not grappled?
[21:47] <Kotono> Donald goes still int he ooze, unmoving! "What the HELL is this?" Pollyanna calls. "Are we hurting it?"
[21:47] <Kotono> OOC: Yeah.
[21:48] <Kotono> OOC: Deme, you're up.
01[21:48] <Seira> "We are!" Seira calls out with more certainty than she is feeling. "Retreat and fire, I'll cover you two!"
[21:49] <Demedais> "Ghhh!" Demedais growls, attempting to get the hell out of whatever this is!
[21:49] <Demedais> roll 1d20+21 let's try this check again
06[21:49] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+21 let's try this check again and gets 31." [1d20=10]
[21:49] <Kotono> roll 1d20+19
06[21:49] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+19 and gets 26." [1d20=7]
[21:50] <Kotono> Demedais surges forward! With a wet sucking sound he erupts out to the side, free of the strange creature! He is covered in a white, glaize like film, but he is free! The film burns, the pain of the acid still on him! OOC: ARe you using your swift or anything, Deme, or should I move it along to Alicia?
06[21:51] * Demedais quickly moves a bit away from the thing, hoping to provide a distraction from another side! "Over here, slab of slime!"
[21:51] <Demedais> OOC: No swift, move 20 feet away.
[21:51] <Kotono> roll 1d3
06[21:51] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d3 and gets 2." [1d3=2]
03[21:51] * Kotono changes topic to 'Demedais(2 rounds)>Alicia>Seira=Amaryl>Polly>Donald(Paralysed 9 rounds)>????'
[21:51] <Kotono> OOC: Okay. Alicia?
06[21:53] * Alicia wipes her face of the stinging goop that clings to it, looking utterly disgusted as she's covered from head to toe in slimy filth. Donald's situation puts worries over appearances out of her mind, though, as she quickly bounds towards where she estimates the gelatinous cube to be, stabbing her sword deep into it!
[21:53] <Alicia> roll 1d20+15 -12 pa
06[21:53] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+15 -12 pa and gets 31." [1d20=16]
[21:53] <Alicia> roll 1d100
06[21:53] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d100 and gets 23." [1d100=23]
[21:54] <Kotono> Alicia pounces and swings again, but misjudges where it is once more! She can't pin it down, blade whistling as it cuts air and not slime! OOC: Seira and Amaryl.
[21:54] <Kotono> Amaryl falls back and out of the building, snapping off four arrows as she does so!
[21:54] <Kotono> roll 1d20+12
[21:54] <Kotono> roll 1d20+12

06[21:54] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 2d8+2+2d6 and gets 18." [2d8=5, 7][2d6=2, 2]
[21:55] <Kotono> A few arrows rip into the hidden slime as she falls back and out, more steaming damage done to it's body! A slight trail of ooze follows behind it, like a slug! OOC: Seir.a
[21:59] <Kotono> OOC: Also.

06[21:59] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 3d8 acid damage on Alicia. and gets 11." [3d8=2, 8, 1]
01[21:59] <Seira> Seira's first thought is to shoot the ooze full of holes until it dies from it, but Donald's limp form within it it worrying. She steps back forty feet, before trying to summon the elven duskblade over to her side!
01[21:59] <Seira> OOC: Regroup
[22:00] <Kotono> Meanwhile, the coating of sludge left on Alicia sizzles, further damaging and sending jolts of pain all over her body! OOC: What book is regrou pin?> Need to check it real quick.
[22:01] <Kotono> OOC: Just Donald?
01[22:01] <Seira> OOC: Yes

06[22:01] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+16 and gets 19." [1d20=3]
[22:02] <Kotono> OOC: If it's a scroll it uses the minimum CL, but that's a d100 regardless.

06[22:02] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d100 and gets 20." [1d100=20]
[22:02] <Kotono> roll 1d3
06[22:02] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d3 and gets 1." [1d3=1]
[22:03] <Kotono> Seira feet suddenly swell! HEr boots strain at the hems, her feet tripling in size! They're quite difficult to even consider moving with! OOC: Polly's up.
[22:03] <Kotono> roll 1d20+8
06[22:03] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+8 and gets 21." [1d20=13]
[22:03] <Kotono> roll 1d100
06[22:03] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d100 and gets 44." [1d100=44]
[22:04] <Kotono> Meanwhile Lagann hacks before Seira moves out of range, missing it's guess at where the slime is! Pollyanna goes to the doors out, snapping off a single arrow as she does!
[22:04] <Kotono> roll 1d20+20
06[22:04] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+20 and gets 24." [1d20=4]

06[22:04] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d100 and gets 21." [1d100=21]
[22:04] <Kotono> But it misses and hits the wall instead! Meanwhile, Donald does nothing, frozen in place! OOC: Oooze.
[22:05] <Kotono> The unseen thing oozes over Alicia, Donald moving with it, before it comes to within ten feet or so of Demedais, a rough curve to it's movement! OOC: ref, Alicia.
[22:06] <Alicia> roll 1d20+19
06[22:06] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+19 and gets 29." [1d20=10]
[22:06] <Kotono> But Alicia springs out of the way, avoiding another sliming! OOC: Demedais. But first...
[22:06] <Kotono> roll 6d8 and 1 dex damage to Donald
06[22:06] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 6d8 and 1 dex damage to Donald and gets 22." [6d8=2, 4, 3, 4, 8, 1]
[22:06] <Kotono> roll 3d8 acid on Deme
06[22:06] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 3d8 acid on Deme and gets 13." [3d8=1, 8, 4]
03[22:06] * Kotono changes topic to 'Demedais(1 round)>Alicia>Seira=Amaryl>Polly>Donald(Paralysed 9 rounds)>????'
[22:07] <Kotono> The acid coating on Demedais continues to burn, but his armor bravely stops most of the skin ruining agony! OOC: Deme.
06[22:07] * Demedais grits his teeth and jabs at the slime with his glaive, before retreating another twenty feet!
[22:07] <Demedais> roll 1d20+17 (-5 PA)
06[22:07] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+17 (-5 PA) and gets 23." [1d20=6]
[22:08] <Kotono> OOC: Hit. D100
[22:08] <Demedais> roll 1d100
06[22:08] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d100 and gets 19." [1d100=19]
[22:08] <Kotono> Demedais thrusts and pokes at the ooze, but misses as he retreats back, knocking a pile of small coins aside as he does so! OOC: Alicia.
[22:09] <Demedais> roll 1d20+31
06[22:09] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+31 and gets 39." [1d20=8]
[22:09] <Alicia> Having had a hell of a time even hitting the thing, Alicia pulls down her blindfold to grant sight beyond the norm, wincing as she can feel the acid continuing to eat away at her...
[22:09] <Alicia> OOC: how close is it now that I can see it clearly?
[22:10] <Kotono> OOC: It's 20 feet away. It's large sized and has Donald wrapped up in it's embrace. It's an utterly translucent slime-blob thing, roughly square.
[22:10] <Kotono> OOC: As in, Donald is literally inside of it and being dragged along.
[22:11] <Demedais> "Oh, for the love of...!" Demedais curses. "I won't be able to pull back safely any farther!"
[22:12] <Alicia> It can really move, that's for sure. Alicia moves as well, positioning herself alongside it to strike...
[22:12] <Kotono> Alicia positions! OOC: Seira and Amaryl.
06[22:12] * Seira has other means of movement! With an arcane word, Seira wills herself to take Donald's place! She cannot allow him to die again, slowly eroded by what should be fodder!
01[22:13] <Seira> OOC: Benign Transposition, SC p27
[22:13] <Kotono> OOC: CL check. Good luck!
01[22:13] <Seira> roll 1d20+16 isn't the luck for Donald?
06[22:13] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+16 isn't the luck for Donald? and gets 25." [1d20=9]
[22:13] <Kotono> OOC: Success.
01[22:13] <Seira> OOC: Does it grapple upon my teleportation?
[22:14] <Kotono> Woosh! Seira is suddenly engulfed in slime! IT's all around her, burning and choking! OOC: Yeah, I'd say so since it's grappling works a bit differently than usual.
01[22:15] <Seira> 'Get Donald away!' Seira thinks, before her mind switches to survival mode as she erupts in angry flames!
01[22:15] <Seira> roll 6d6
06[22:15] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 6d6 and gets 23." [6d6=6, 1, 6, 4, 5, 1]
01[22:15] <Seira> roll 23*1.5 fire
06[22:15] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 23*1.5 fire and gets 34.5."
[22:16] <Kotono> The ooze now has a burning dragon within it, Seira lighting aflame with Balor's Nimbus! She sends cascading light all about! Pollyanna meanwhile kneels by Donald, "Get his shoulders," she instructs, "I'll ready a potion in case he gets critical." Amaryl does just that, grimacing at the contact!
[22:16] <Kotono> roll 1d3 Donald
06[22:16] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d3 Donald and gets 2." [1d3=2]
[22:16] <Kotono> roll 2d8 acid from contact with Donald on Amaryl
06[22:16] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 2d8 acid from contact with Donald on Amaryl and gets 8." [2d8=5, 3]
03[22:17] * Kotono changes topic to 'Demedais(1 round)>Alicia>Seira=Amaryl>Polly>Donald(Paralysed 7 rounds; 2 rounds acid)>????'
[22:17] <Kotono> As Pollyanna readies a potion, Amaryl drags the paralysed elf away, down th steel street! OOC: Donald's paralysed. 3d8 acid.
[22:17] <Kotono> roll 3d8 Donald
06[22:17] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 3d8 Donald and gets 10." [3d8=2, 4, 4]
03[22:17] * Kotono changes topic to 'Demedais(1 round)>Alicia>Seira=Amaryl>Polly>Donald(Paralysed 6 rounds; 1 rounds acid)>????'
03[22:18] * Kotono changes topic to 'Demedais(1 round)>Alicia>Seira=Amaryl>Polly>Donald(Paralysed 6 rounds; 1 rounds acid)>????=????2'
[22:19] <Kotono> The ooze goes for Demedais this time, coming to within feet of him! OOC: Alicia, since you can see it, you can AoO.
06[22:20] * Alicia lashes out with a vicious strike as the ooze wobbles invitingly before her!
[22:20] <Alicia> roll 1d20+15 -10 pa
06[22:20] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+15 -10 pa and gets 29." [1d20=14]
[22:20] <Kotono> OOC: Hit.
[22:20] <Alicia> roll 1d8+31+1d6+1d6
06[22:20] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d8+31+1d6+1d6 and gets 38." [1d8=1][1d6=3][1d6=3]
[22:20] <Alicia> OOC: assuming it's not evil?
[22:20] <Kotono> OOC: It's not.
[22:21] <Kotono> Alicia, finally able to see her foe, stabs her flaming blade deep into it! Little quivers of slime go spraying out from the stab! The creature looks considerably wounded now, all while it's acid eats at Seira!
[22:21] <Kotono> roll 6d8 acid and 1 dex damage, Seira. Make fort?
06[22:21] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 6d8 acid and 1 dex damage, Seira. Make fort? and gets 34." [6d8=3, 6, 7, 8, 6, 4]
01[22:22] <Seira> roll 1d20+14
06[22:22] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+14 and gets 17." [1d20=3]
[22:22] <Kotono> roll 3d6 uh oh.
06[22:22] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 3d6 uh oh. and gets 9." [3d6=3, 3, 3]
03[22:22] * Kotono changes topic to 'Demedais(1 round)>Alicia>Seira(9 rounds paralysed)=Amaryl>Polly>Donald(Paralysed 6 rounds; 1 rounds acid)>????=????2'
[22:22] <Kotono> Seira's movements stop inside the slime, all while it burns from the inside out! OOC: Demedais.
[22:23] <Demedais> "Damnit! Was hoping it hadn't spotted me..." Demedais curses. "We have a second coming from behind me... Guess it's time to take the risk!" With that...
[22:23] <Demedais> OOC: Attempting to trigger boots of haste.
[22:24] <Kotono> OOC: CL check.
[22:24] <Demedais> roll 1d20+10 right
06[22:24] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+10 right and gets 17." [1d20=7]
[22:24] <Kotono> OOC: D100. Bummer.
[22:24] <Demedais> roll 1d100 hell
06[22:24] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d100 hell and gets 51." [1d100=51]
[22:24] <Kotono> roll 1d6
06[22:24] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d6 and gets 5." [1d6=5]
[22:24] <Kotono> roll 1d100 moment, checking auxiliary chart
06[22:24] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d100 moment, checking auxiliary chart and gets 49." [1d100=49]
[22:25] <Kotono> roll 1d100 moment, checking auxiliary chart
06[22:25] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d100 moment, checking auxiliary chart and gets 30." [1d100=30]
[22:25] <Kotono> roll 1d100 mother of God, a third one?
06[22:25] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d100 mother of God, a third one? and gets 23." [1d100=23]
[22:26] <Kotono> A chilly wind blows through the hall! Suddenly, the roof is snowing! Chilly snow comes raining down all over! It's a steady snowstorm sprining from stone itself, turning the entire battle festively snowy! OOC: Deme, continue.
[22:28] <Kotono> Meanwhile as this happens, the acid continues to sear Demedais' skin!
[22:28] <Kotono> roll 3d8 last round
06[22:28] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 3d8 last round and gets 13." [3d8=8, 2, 3]
03[22:28] * Kotono changes topic to 'Demedais>Alicia>Seira(9 rounds paralysed)=Amaryl>Polly>Donald(Paralysed 6 rounds; 1 rounds acid)>????=????2'
[22:32] <Demedais> "Right. That failed." Demedais curses. With a glance at the situation, he instead just tries to withdraw around the slime, moving to within 25 feet of the slime but against the wall! OOC: Effectively moving around the slime so that I make distance between myself and the second, and keep 25 feet away from the other. Should have enough room in there for it.
[22:33] <Kotono> OOC: Okay.
[22:33] <Kotono> OOC: Alicia.
[22:34] <Alicia> "Die!" Alicia snarls, hacking into the slimy agglomeration before her with a fury!
[22:34] <Alicia> roll 1d20+23 divine might
06[22:34] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+23 divine might and gets 41." [1d20=18]

06[22:34] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+18 divine might and gets 20." [1d20=2]
[22:34] <Alicia> roll 1d20+13 divine might
06[22:34] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+13 divine might and gets 24." [1d20=11]

06[22:34] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+13 divine might and gets 14." [1d20=1]
[22:34] <Kotono> OOC: All hit but the 1.
[22:34] <Alicia> roll 5d8+85+5d6+5d6
06[22:34] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 5d8+85+5d6+5d6 and gets 155." [5d8=8, 3, 3, 8, 8][5d6=5, 5, 4, 5, 5][5d6=3, 5, 2, 2, 4]
03[22:35] * Kotono changes topic to 'Demedais>Alicia>Seira(9 rounds paralysed)=Amaryl>Polly>Donald(Paralysed 6 rounds; 1 rounds acid)>????2'
[22:35] <Kotono> Slamming into the ooze, it's shape shatters! Seira collapes to the ground in a puddle of acid,a s waves of it gush from it's ruptured form! OOC: Ref, Alicia.
[22:35] <Kotono> roll 1d3 rounds for Seira
06[22:35] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d3 rounds for Seira and gets 3." [1d3=3]
[22:35] <Alicia> roll 1d20+19
06[22:35] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+19 and gets 29." [1d20=10]
03[22:35] * Kotono changes topic to 'Demedais>Alicia>Seira(9 rounds paralysed, 3 round acid)=Amaryl>Polly>Donald(Paralysed 6 rounds; 1 rounds acid)>????2'
[22:36] <Kotono> Alicia hops over the wave, avoiding a splash of flesh searing agony! Meanwhile Seira burns in the puddle of acid, coated in the sliminess!
[22:36] <Kotono> roll 3d8 acid Seira
06[22:36] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 3d8 acid Seira and gets 11." [3d8=1, 3, 7]
[22:36] <Kotono> Seira continues to sizzle! OOC: Amaryl and Polly.
03[22:37] * Kotono changes topic to 'Demedais>Alicia>Seira(8 rounds paralysed, 2 round acid)=Amaryl>Polly>Donald(Paralysed 6 rounds; 1 rounds acid)>????2'
[22:37] <Kotono> Donald is dragged away even more, Pollyanna at the ready!
[22:37] <Kotono> roll 3d9 acid Donald
06[22:37] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 3d9 acid Donald and gets 11." [3d9=4, 6, 1]
03[22:37] * Kotono changes topic to 'Demedais>Alicia>Seira(8 rounds paralysed, 2 round acid)=Amaryl>Polly>Donald(Paralysed 5 rounds)>????2'
[22:38] <Kotono> At last the acid dies away on him, his body burnt but surviving, clinging to his second life! The other ooze, now dotted with snowflakes, comes close to Demedais! OOC: Deme.
[22:38] <Kotono> OOC: 3d8 oops
[22:38] <Kotono> roll 3d8
06[22:38] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 3d8 and gets 14." [3d8=4, 7, 3]
[22:40] <Demedais> "Alicia, drag Seira back! I'll rejoin with you all soon!" For his part, Demedais moves twenty back again to maintain the distance, providing a tempting target for the acidic ooze!
[22:41] <Kotono> Demedais comes to near the downed dragon-mage and Alicia, on guard! OOC: Alicia.
06[22:43] * Alicia would prefer to simply kill the threat, but decides to follow Demedais's instructions, grapping Seira's hands while doing her best to be careful of her claws and fire, although not really able to do much but hiss at the acid melting into her palms through the contact. Securing her grip as best she's able, she drags Seira back thirty feet.
[22:44] <Kotono> roll 2d8+6d6 (Acid'n'fire)
06[22:44] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 2d8+6d6 (Acid'n'fire) and gets 36." [2d8=7, 3][6d6=4, 2, 6, 2, 6, 6]
[22:45] <Kotono> Alicia drags Seira back into the main room, all while enduring the roaring flames and corroding acid on her body! She gets her back and away, near to the main door out of the building! OOC: Seira, you're paralysed but taking acid damage. Owwies.
[22:46] <Kotono> roll 3d8 acid Seira
06[22:46] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 3d8 acid Seira and gets 19." [3d8=6, 8, 5]
03[22:47] * Kotono changes topic to 'Demedais>Alicia>Seira(7 rounds paralysed, 1 round acid)=Amaryl>Polly>Donald(Paralysed 4 rounds)>????2'
[22:47] <Kotono> As Seira's flesh is burned by the acid, the two archers wait for the moment! Donald is paralysed! OOC: Second ooze is up.
[22:47] <Kotono> The ooze follows Demedais, coming closer to him again! OOC: Deme.
06[22:51] * Demedais grimaces. "Pollyanna, Amaryl, once Donald is stabilized please assist in providing cover fire!" With this said, Demedais quickly retreats to the other side of the hallway! OOC: Withdraw action, operation "Stall The Slime To No End" is go.
[22:52] <Kotono> Demedais withdraws and runs to the other side of the hall! OOC: Alicia.
[22:52] <Alicia> OOC: is the slime within 30 feet of me?
[22:52] <Kotono> OOC: No. You moved on out with Seira.
06[22:53] * Alicia drags Seira back further out of the hallway and into the entrance room of the building, before all too gladly letting go of the acid-covered half dragon and lifting up her blindfold so she can see what's what.
[22:54] <Kotono> roll 2d8 acid ow
06[22:54] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 2d8 acid ow and gets 11." [2d8=8, 3]
[22:54] <Kotono> Alicia can see the entry room to the hall, and through the open doors, the battle ahead. OOC: SEira, you're paralysed but have one more round of acid.
[22:54] <Kotono> roll 3d8
06[22:54] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 3d8 and gets 14." [3d8=3, 8, 3]
[22:54] <Kotono> OOC: Amaryl's up.
[22:55] <Kotono> Amaryl runs into the entry room near Alicia, "Coming!" she calls back. A moment later, "I have Donald!" Pollyanna calls. OOC: Polly's holding/watching Donald, Amaryl went on ahead. Ooze is up.
03[22:56] * Kotono changes topic to 'Demedais>Alicia>Seira(6 rounds paralysed)=Amaryl>Polly>Donald(Paralysed 3 rounds)>????2'
01[22:56] <Seira> 'Hi.'
[22:56] <Kotono> The ooze follows after Demedais, coming to within twenty feet once more! OOC: Demedais.
06[22:59] * Demedais proceeds to step to the side ten feet, ready to dash past it again as it approaches! "It's not intelligent, thankfully. I can keep it distracted with ease while archers try to nail it down."
[22:59] <Kotono> Demedais does so, positioning away! OOC: Alicia.
[23:00] <Alicia> "It needs to die, then we're leaving!" Alicia snaps, rather put out by how badly they've gotten mauled by the troll-control system, deciding to risk a spell rather than risk getting enveloped once more. Rearing her arm back, she whips it forward with a cry, letting Hell Striker fly and scythe through the air to carve apart the frosted cube before reappearing in her waiting grasp!
[23:00] <Alicia> OOC: CL for whirling blade?
[23:00] <Kotono> OOC: Yes.
[23:01] <Alicia> roll 1d20+16
06[23:01] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+16 and gets 32." [1d20=16]
[23:01] <Kotono> OOC: Carry on.
[23:01] <Alicia> roll 1d20+15 -12pa divine might
06[23:01] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+15 -12pa divine might and gets 30." [1d20=15]

06[23:02] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d8+48+1d6+1d6 and gets 64." [1d8=8][1d6=2][1d6=6]
[23:02] <Kotono> Alicia's blade cuts deep into the frosted slime, hacking away a chunk of hissing acidic goo! Meanwhile Seira is paralysed, as Amaryl runs into position just besides the doorway, snapping off four arrows!
[23:03] <Kotono> roll 1d20+12
[23:03] <Kotono> roll 1d20+12
06[23:03] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+12 and gets 21." [1d20=9]

[23:03] <Kotono> roll 3d8+3+3d6
06[23:03] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 3d8+3+3d6 and gets 19." [3d8=2, 3, 2][3d6=3, 1, 5]
[23:04] <Kotono> With a visible target, the goo offer sno resistance to three of the arrows! The last is a misfire, firing down onto the ground! Pollyanna meanwhile keeps a defensive watch on Donald! Donald is paralysed! OOC: Goo.
03[23:04] * Kotono changes topic to 'Demedais>Alicia>Seira(5 rounds paralysed)=Amaryl>Polly>Donald(Paralysed 2 rounds)>????2'
[23:04] <Kotono> The ooze approaches Demedais once more, following and getting within 10 feet! OOC: Deme. You're up.
06[23:05] * Demedais uses this chance to quickly dash across the room again, a bit annoyed at this but doing what he can to make this final opponent not a danger to Alicia and Amaryl!
[23:06] <Kotono> Demedais sprints around in his heavy armor, keeping the ooze's attention! OOC: Alicia.
[23:06] <Alicia> "Come on..." Alicia whispers fervently, already starting to perform the requisite gestures before she once more flings Hell Striker out at the cube with another arcane yell!
[23:06] <Alicia> roll 1d20+16 CL
06[23:06] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+16 CL and gets 33." [1d20=17]
[23:07] <Alicia> roll 1d20+15 -12pa divine might
06[23:07] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+15 -12pa divine might and gets 19." [1d20=4]
[23:07] <Kotono> OOC: Hit.
[23:07] <Alicia> roll 1d8+48+1d6+1d6
06[23:07] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d8+48+1d6+1d6 and gets 55." [1d8=2][1d6=3][1d6=2]
[23:07] <Kotono> Alicia fires through the cube again! She burns and bursts away more as it reaves through, but it's body can take too much punishment! As Seira lies on the ground, Amaryl positions and fires as much as she can!
[23:09] <Kotono> roll 1d20+13
[23:09] <Kotono> roll 1d20+13
06[23:09] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+13 and gets 17." [1d20=4]

[23:09] <Kotono> roll 1d20+8
06[23:09] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+8 and gets 22." [1d20=14]
[23:09] <Kotono> roll 1d20+8
06[23:09] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+8 and gets 26." [1d20=18]
[23:09] <Kotono> roll 5d8+5+5d6
06[23:09] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 5d8+5+5d6 and gets 44." [5d8=4, 6, 5, 8, 7][5d6=2, 1, 3, 1, 2]
[23:10] <Kotono> The ooze is riddles with arrows and shakes all over, as Lagann picks up it's sword and strikes again!
[23:10] <Kotono> roll 1d20+8
06[23:10] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+8 and gets 28." [1d20=20]
[23:10] <Kotono> roll 1d8+1
06[23:10] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d8+1 and gets 5." [1d8=4]
01[23:10] <Seira> OOC: Isn't is 3d8+4?
[23:10] <Kotono> OOC: Oh, the resort? Dur. Okya.
[23:10] <Kotono> roll 3d8+4
06[23:10] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 3d8+4 and gets 10." [3d8=3, 2, 1]
01[23:10] <Seira> OOC: Yes, I gave it to him when I grabbed the bow
[23:11] <Kotono> The Third Resort slices into the ooze, dealing yet more damage to it! Meanwhile, Polly and Donald continue to hold and be paralysed, as the ooze follows Demedais, again coming close to him! OOC: Deme.
06[23:12] * Demedais grimaces, before charging at the slime with his glaive, trying to finish it so that this nonsense can end!
[23:13] <Demedais> roll 1d20+15 (-9 PA)
06[23:13] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+15 (-9 PA) and gets 18." [1d20=3]
[23:13] <Kotono> OOC: Hit.
[23:14] <Demedais> roll 1d10+31
06[23:14] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d10+31 and gets 36." [1d10=5]
[23:14] <Kotono> With that final, heroic thrust, Demedais shatters the goo! A wave of acid flows all about him! OOC: Ref.
[23:15] <Demedais> roll 1d20+24 wee
06[23:15] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+24 wee and gets 31." [1d20=7]
[23:16] <Kotono> Demedais dives out of the way of the acid, predicting it and avoiding every splash! OOC: Free act.
[23:17] <Alicia> "Is that them gone?" Alicia looks down the hallway for a moment, before being satisfied at the lack of further gelatinous movement. "Good, everyone to me - we're leaving."
01[23:18] <Seira> 'Can we wait a moment?' Seira sends to Amaryl upon hearing that. 'I think I'm getting back feeling in my toes! Also, how's Donald doing now?'
[23:18] <Kotono> After a little bit Donald and Pollyanna hobble forward. Both are battered, Donald's entire body has acid burns. "Ugh...can't focus..." he mutters. "Dizzy."
[23:18] <Kotono> 'Bad'. Amaryl sends, and then, "Seira needs a little longer, Alicia."
06[23:18] * Demedais nods. "Let's do this, yeah." As he advances back to the group, he rubs his head. "Wasn't sure what I was seeing, there... I'll remember that."
[23:19] <Kotono> "Seeing what?" Pollyanna positions so Donald can lean on her, "The slime?"
06[23:19] * Seira twitches, before rolling over, and finally climbing to her feet. "Well, that was fun," she says, running a hand through her burning hair.
[23:19] <Alicia> "What?" Alicia looks over to Amaryl and then Seira in surprise. "Longer for what? We can't even heal her here because of the wild magic - we're all in terrible condition, now." She doesn't draw attention to her scarred skin, stringy fragments of clothing hanging off her indecently, and blackened bare patches in her wings. They rather speak for themselves.
[23:19] <Kotono> "Snow...hahaha...I'm hallucinating..." Donald looks up blearily at the snowfall.
[23:20] <Kotono> "To be able to get up..." Amaryl colors, glancing at Alicia briefly before entirely looking away.
01[23:21] <Seira> "Yes, that's it exactly," Seira adds, wrapping herself up in her cloak. "If you went off target, wouldn't it make more sense that we all could defend ourselves?"
[23:22] <Alicia> "I wasn't even sure how long before you'd be able to get up. Sometimes with things like that it lasts hours," Alicia admits. "Come on, I'll teleport us to some water so we can get cleaned up then we'll return to Balmuria," she extends her hands out after putting Hell Striker in the fraying remnants of its baldric. "This place will still be here tomorrow."
01[23:22] <Seira> "No argument there," Seira agrees, taking Alicia's left hand in her own. "But I knew better how much longer I still needed to recover!"
[23:22] <Kotono> "Shhh." Polly holds Donald, "Let's hurry?" She takes hands as well, positioning herself and Donaldf or the teleport.
[23:23] <Alicia> roll 1d20+16 CL?
06[23:23] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+16 CL? and gets 29." [1d20=13]
[23:23] <Kotono> OOC: Where were you TPing?
[23:23] <Alicia> roll 1d100 studied carefully, desert oasis we hung out at during campaign against the devils
06[23:23] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d100 studied carefully, desert oasis we hung out at during campaign against the devils and gets 90." [1d100=90]
[23:24] <Kotono> Woosh! The party appears at the oasis! It's quiet here, a few peaceful animals about. Donald immediately keels over onto the sand, "Ow...ow...ow...ow...ow...ow...ow...ow...ow!"
06[23:24] * Seira doesn't waste time before pressing a hand against him!
[23:24] <Kotono> Pollyanna slumps to her knees, "Helm help us, that was a bitter, tough battle."
01[23:24] <Seira> roll 3d8+15 CSW
06[23:24] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 3d8+15 CSW and gets 30." [3d8=5, 4, 6]
06[23:24] * Demedais moves to Donald as well, first restoring the strength taken by the wights! OOC: Restoration.
[23:25] <Kotono> Amaryl trails behind Seira, keeping her eyes averted. "Our clothes, too...thankfully, it didn't seem to damage our armor at all."
[23:25] <Kotono> Donald perks up at that, craning his neck up. "Aha. Thanks." he sighs in a deep relief. "Damn it all, what were those?"
06[23:26] * Demedais refrains from comment, thankful simply for full plate as he looks to Alicia. "I can heal everyone up some. Alicia, you look the worst off..."
01[23:26] <Seira> "Or me, beyond my pride," Seira returns to Amaryl, nodding at Donald. "People might point and stare at my skin, but it comes in handy at times like this!"
06[23:26] * Alicia promptly casts an enervation spell at herself which is absorbed without any harm, following it up with using the spellfire to mend herself, causing her skin to lighten and smooth out, although her hair and feathers still look somewhat battered. "Thank you, Demedais, I'd appreciate it," she gives him a weary smile.
[23:26] <Alicia> roll 4d4+4
06[23:26] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 4d4+4 and gets 16." [4d4=3, 3, 4, 2]
[23:27] <Kotono> "Yeah...let's just go home." Groaning as he sits up, "We got our asses kicked, but we won. You know, I wonder if we could use more help at this rate."
01[23:27] <Seira> "Need a recharge?" Seira offers Alicia.
06[23:27] * Demedais nods and taps Alicia for more healing to her.
01[23:27] <Seira> "No, you did by charging in recklessly and needing to be rescued," Seira snaps at Donald peevishly. "What happened to guarding the archers?"
[23:28] <Demedais> roll 4d8+8
06[23:28] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 4d8+8 and gets 28." [4d8=5, 6, 7, 2]
[23:28] <Kotono> "Hey, I just wanted to try and kill the thing before it slimed anyone else!" He snaps right back, "It seemed like a good idea at the time!"
01[23:29] <Seira> "It wasn't. You learned from it, hopefully?"
[23:29] <Alicia> "I'm going to wash up before returning to Balmuria," Alicia gestures to the water at Donald's comment. "I'd suggest anyone else hit by those things do the same - Seira and I can take the top before the waterfall and the men can take the pool at the bottom?" she suggests in the interests of decency.
[23:29] <Demedais> "Sure." Demedais says with a shrug.
[23:29] <Kotono> "Yeah, I guess." Donald rubs his head, "If you want...though if you need someone to wash your back, either of you," Donald grins as he gets up.
01[23:30] <Seira> "Go away."
[23:30] <Kotono> Pollyanna sighs and laughs a little, "You're feeling better, idiot mouth and all."
[23:30] <Demedais> "I'll heal people of lingering damage once that's done." Demedais notes as an afterthought, nodding to the ladies before heading down to the bottom pool.
[23:31] <Alicia> "I'll bear that in mind," Alicia replies dryly, flapping her wings and skipping the curved path leading to the upper tier of the oasis, shedding her armour and the tattered remnants of her clothes once at the top and promptly immersing herself.
[23:31] <Alicia> roll 1d100 home very familiar
06[23:31] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d100 home very familiar and gets 53." [1d100=53]

Corwin · March 28, 2012, 03:16:26 PM

[20:29] <Kotono> ---
[20:30] <Kotono> Okay, /nick and start rolling the TPs?
03[20:30] * Ebiris is now known as Alicia
[20:30] <Alicia> roll 1d100 Balmuria to Kelara, studied carefully
06[20:30] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d100 Balmuria to Kelara, studied carefully and gets 13." [1d100=13]
[20:30] <Alicia> roll 1d100 Kelara to steel jungle below the lake, seen casually
06[20:30] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d100 Kelara to steel jungle below the lake, seen casually and gets 9." [1d100=9]
[20:31] <Kotono> CL as well for that second TP?
[20:31] <Alicia> roll 1d20+16
06[20:31] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+16 and gets 20." [1d20=4]
[20:31] <Kotono> D100?
[20:31] <Alicia> roll 1d100 it really should only apply in one direction, since I'm not casting it within the wild magic
06[20:31] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d100 it really should only apply in one direction, since I'm not casting it within the wild magic and gets 4." [1d100=4]
[20:32] <Kotono> Woosh! The second teleport is far from smooth! Rainbow color seem tos urround everyone, a bumpy, jostling ride! Thus they appear in the steel jungle below! AS they do, Alicia's clothes burn on her skin! Itches and hives break out all over her body!
[20:34] <Demedais> "That was... Alicia, you alright?!" Demedais says as he looks over. "What the heck...?"
06[20:34] * Alicia inhales and scratches at her arms a moment. "We got here okay, don't worry. I'll be back in a moment," she grimaces, quickly ducking into the nearby building.
[20:34] <Kotono> "Wild magic again," Donald eyes everyone, scratching at his armored chest, "Anyone messed up or changed or cursed?"
01[20:35] <Seira> "Are you... changed?" Seira asks Donald, glancing meaningfully at his chest where he's scratching it.
[20:35] <Demedais> "She had red spots forming on her body... Hives?" Demedais muses. "This place is just bizarre."
[20:35] <Kotono> "The fire spirit told us that we could start to fix the damage to the Weave if we stop the source of it here. We really should focus on that so we can use all our magic effectively," Pollyanna's eyes follow Alicia as she runs inside.
[20:36] <Kotono> "I read up on it," Donald smirks at Demedais, "It's like the Weave is scrambled, like breakfast eggs. When you cast magic, anything could happen. It's like every spell is cast in Limbo."
[20:37] <Kotono> "Thank you, Sir Knight obvious," Drawling to Donald, Pollyanna runs a hand through her hair. "I think we knew that already."
[20:37] <Kotono> "Hives? I had those once," Amaryl whimpers very low, "From contact with a poisonous plant. They're terrible."
[20:38] <Demedais> "My main concern is that this place might have a guardian system like the other ruins. The main defense drew power from multiple imprisoned or captured objects or beings, and dealing with that system without engaging those systems would have been quite dangerous. We got lucky and reduced it down to two."
01[20:38] <Seira> "Better not cast anything randomly, then," Seira whispers quietly to Amaryl.
[20:38] <Kotono> "Pfft," Ignoring Pollyanna very obviously, "Yeah," Donald nods along, "A prismatic or glass golem or something, wasn't it? I heard the stories."
06[20:38] * Alicia returns a minute later, still with her armour on but instead of the knee-length and sleeveless blue undergarment she was wearing before she's now in one of her usual black tunics, albeit now with the sleeves cut off, which shows off significantly more leg. "Sorry about that," she apologises, rubbing a bit at one of the fading red spots on her thigh. "Lets continue on?"
[20:39] <Demedais> "Sure." Demedais nods slightly.
[20:39] <Kotono> "Are we gonna look back in the slime nest or go on," Donald asks. "Weren't there a bunch of metal coins and stuff lying around there?"
01[20:39] <Seira> "Yes, after we kill something we take its stuff. It's one of the prime rules!"
[20:40] <Alicia> "We should take a look, I suppose," Alicia agrees, turning around to head right back in through the door she just came out of.
[20:40] <Demedais> "There were. Let me take point so I can confirm nothing else is in past the door?" Demedais shrugs, following Alicia and taking the lead before looking into and around the room carefully from the doorway in.
06[20:41] * Seira follows, privately thinking that the wait was well worth it.
[20:41] <Kotono> The party returns inside. Demedais peers in...OOC: Spot.
[20:41] <Demedais> roll 1d20+31
06[20:41] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+31 and gets 33." [1d20=2]
[20:42] <Demedais> "Nothing seen." Demedais shrugs, advancing thirty feet into the room and glancing over what's inside.
06[20:42] * Alicia pulls down her blindfold just in case and follows Demedais inside, strolling along to the end of the hallway.
06[20:43] * Seira follows closely, Resort drawn.
[20:44] <Kotono> Inside the hall, besides blast marks, things are mostly bare. There are occasional piles of nails and screws about, as well as some coins. Several piles of these: The coins have the figure of the God-King on them, with a few platinum ones having images of a starry sky. Near the back, still no ripples or anything in Alicia's blindsight seen, is a pile of metal. It's a complete mish-mash. Some of it is obviously rusted scrap of little use. There'
[20:44] <Kotono> It's a complete mish-mash. Some of it is obviously rusted scrap of little use. There's some jewelry mixed in, an ingot of what might be silver or mithril, several metal rivets, several metal handles, like you might see on a drawer, a few jagged spearheads and a metal ring.
[20:45] <Alicia> Lifting her blindfold back up, Alicia's eyes glow blue as she sweeps the area for magical dweomers.
[20:45] <Alicia> OOC: CL for arcane sight?
[20:46] <Kotono> OOC: Yes.
[20:46] <Alicia> roll 1d20+17
06[20:46] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+17 and gets 25." [1d20=8]
[20:46] <Kotono> OOC: Success.
06[20:46] * Demedais gathers up coins after being confident the coast is clear of slime.
01[20:46] <Seira> "What's left from the less fortunate?" Seira inquires, glancing at the pile of metal.
[20:46] <Kotono> Alicia finds that the metal ingot radiates magic.
[20:47] <Alicia> roll 1d20+10 spellcraft
06[20:47] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+10 spellcraft and gets 21." [1d20=11]
06[20:47] * Alicia picks up the ingot and turns it around in her hands as she studies it. "Transmutation magic... it's the only enchanted thing here," she murmurs.
[20:48] <Kotono> The ingot feels warm and squishy in her hands, yet is solid as steel.
01[20:48] <Seira> "Any clue what it is, Lagann?" Seira asks, peering at the ingot curiously.
06[20:48] * Alicia wonders if it's just a large lump of silversheen... then again, that stuff makes her hands itch these days. She holds it up briefly for Seira's orb to inspect.
[20:49] <Kotono> roll 1d20+8
06[20:49] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+8 and gets 17." [1d20=9]
01[20:50] <Seira> "What's a template ingot, and how do you teach it things?" Seira wonders out loud.
01[20:50] <Seira> roll 1d20+24
06[20:50] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+24 and gets 42." [1d20=18]
[20:50] <Alicia> "Maybe something to do with the metal additions to those trolls?" Alicia suggests at Seira's wonderings.
06[20:51] * Demedais just gathers what looks valuable and hasn't been pointed out to be magic aside from the coins as the two discuss magic.
06[20:51] * Seira raises an eyebrow. "Huh, I seem to recall something. If I'm right, it's way better than that crap."
[20:52] <Alicia> "Anything we can use now or shall I just store it?" Alicia asks.
[20:52] <Kotono> OOC: By what looks valuable, Deme? What's your crieria for that?
06[20:52] * Seira glances sideways at Demedais. "You know how his sword can change its makeup? It's sorta like this. But we'll need either Elle's help to refine it or some time to study the proper rituals to process it back home."
06[20:52] * Seira reaches out to poke at the metal.
[20:53] <Alicia> "Later, then," Alicia nods, putting it in the portable hole after Seira's had a poke. "Shall we go to the main structure, now?"
[20:53] <Kotono> The metal seems to ripple every so slightly, yet stays in shape.
[20:54] <Demedais> OOC: Pretty much anything that easily detaches from the pile of metal, isn't rusted, and doesn't look pointless - the spearheads, jewelry and metal ring being the main three.
01[20:54] <Seira> "I feel a bit like Lagann," Seira admits, snorting to herself. "How about checking the other building, first, and only then advancing?"
[20:54] <Kotono> OOC: Okay.
[20:54] <Demedais> "Sure. That sounds optimal enough." Demedais shrugs.
[20:55] <Alicia> "Hopefully it's devoid of animate jelly," Alicia grimaces briefly, heading back out and towards their next goal.
[20:55] <Kotono> As the party exits out, they find the road ahead stretching. However, straight ahead, just at the edge of the jungle facing opposite the building, they see one of the crystalline, headless creature. It writhes amid the leaves and branches.
01[20:55] <Seira> "I could fireball it in advance, if it features the same corridor?" Seira offers hopefully.
[20:57] <Alicia> "Would be wise," Alicia agrees, eyeing the headless thing dubiously. "They seem to respond to instructions in gnomish, so hopefully won't bother us if we tell it not to..."
01[20:57] <Seira> "How about you try it? Maybe with the token, it wouldn't matter."
01[20:57] <Seira> Having said that, Seira teaches a pair of useful if brief instructions in gnomish to the others, those being 'Go away!' and 'Stop'.
[20:58] <Kotono> As he listens, "Use it on that one?" he says, eyeing the headless, glass creature. "That's incredibly disturbing the more I watch it."
[20:59] <Alicia> "Go away!" Alicia repeats the gnomish phrase as they pass the creature.
06[20:59] * Demedais observes the creature as Alicia speaks.
[20:59] <Kotono> The creature stops and flees back into the jungle on Alicia's command.
06[21:00] * Demedais grimaces slightly. "Let's hope we can find something to help them further in."
[21:01] <Kotono> roll 1d100
06[21:01] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d100 and gets 49." [1d100=49]
01[21:01] <Seira> "Like deactivate or destroy them?" Seira asks, being all for it.
[21:02] <Demedais> "A kinder death then getting chopped to pieces, at least, yes." Demedais mutters. "Presuming we can't... reverse it, somehow. Though with how this blasted place works..."
[21:02] <Kotono> The party advances in, closer and closer. As they do, they get a better look at what lies ahead. The second small building is more of a dome. It's made of brightly polished steel, doors sturdy and bolted shut. The fortress ahead looms, it's entry gates massive and seemingly closed.
[21:03] <Kotono> The party is about 10 feet from the edge of the second smaller building. It has a door to enter if they wish.
06[21:03] * Seira ponders. "It reminds me somewhat of the gnomish library in the ruins below Helm's temple. Well, where they used to be, at least. Let's go in?"
[21:03] <Alicia> "Reverse it to what?" Alicia asks, assuming Seira can bypass any flimsy locks that would bar their way. "We don't even know what those things are. This could be their natural state for all we know."
01[21:03] <Seira> roll 1d20+27 is it TRAPPED?
06[21:03] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+27 is it TRAPPED? and gets 42." [1d20=15]
[21:04] <Kotono> The domed door is not trapped, but it is tightly locked.
[21:04] <Demedais> "Perhaps, but given what we saw of the trolls?" Demedais replies.
01[21:04] <Seira> "Oh, it's actually not," Seira says distractedly. "They were originally meant to fight the undead, but there's been quite a lot of modifications."
01[21:05] <Seira> roll 1d20+17 open lock
06[21:05] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+17 open lock and gets 28." [1d20=11]
[21:05] <Kotono> Seira works a little. She can't pop the lock with her first go. It's a pretty complicated one.
06[21:05] * Seira gives it a few more tries!
01[21:05] <Seira> roll 5#1d20+17
06[21:05] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 5#1d20+17 and gets 148." [5#1d20+17 = 33, 31, 27, 31, 26]
[21:12] <Kotono> Working away, Seira pops the lock open!
06[21:12] * Seira waits until everyone is ready before opening the door a bit and taking a glance inside!
[21:14] <Kotono> Inside, the dome above rises. It is dark, a beautiful starry sky sparkling above. Below, telescopes lie about, as well as bookshelves on the walls.
[21:15] <Demedais> "Seira." Demedais says immediately on seeing the inside. "Is this enchanted the same way as the previous one?"
[21:16] <Kotono> "The previous one?" Amaryl whispers. "What does it do then?"
06[21:16] * Seira glances about to see if there are convenient indications of what bookcase has which books, since it might help to find a manual for the glass construct.
06[21:16] * Alicia looks around inside with her glowing blue eyes.
01[21:16] <Seira> "Oh, I found some books there. They tried to brainwash me about the God-King and all that. We also found a spellgem inside!"
[21:16] <Kotono> There are three bookshelves total, each one having a fair few books. You'd have to go in and get all hands on to see which is which.
[21:17] <Demedais> "It was a compelling library." Demedais mutters.
[21:18] <Alicia> roll 1d20+10 spellcraft
06[21:18] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+10 spellcraft and gets 11." [1d20=1]
[21:19] <Alicia> "The dome is magic," Alicia gestures upwards. "Perhaps enchanted to show the actual night sky on the surface?" she wonders. "I wonder if this is where they first saw the Fairest Star as it descended to Earth..."
[21:20] <Demedais> "What Seira said, for the most part." Demedais tells Amaryl, before glancing to Alicia. "... Possible." With that, Demedais steps past Seira and looks around inside carefully.
[21:20] <Demedais> roll 1d20+31 spot?
06[21:20] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+31 spot? and gets 43." [1d20=12]
01[21:20] <Seira> "If they did, then the gnomes here doomed their entire race," Seira comments. "Well, nothing outright catches my eye. We should--" And she observes Demedais curiously, trailing off.
[21:21] <Kotono> "I hope we can use these powers without making the same mistakes they did," Amaryl holds her arm, looking downwards. "Could our world take what happened 2,000 years ago again?"
06[21:21] * Demedais shrugs and steps back out. "Agreeing with Seira. The ceiling is just the God-King going on a ego trip."
01[21:21] <Seira> "Probably, people seem very resilient. But we won't let it happen!"
[21:22] <Demedais> "We can come back here once we've dealt with the rest of the setup to try and figure out what they've done to the glass creatures, presuming we can't find the answer elsewhere."
06[21:23] * Seira locks the door, ready to proceed!
[21:23] <Alicia> "Anyway, there's nothing else magical here, so likely no spellgems. Unless anyone cares to peruse the library, I agree about moving on," Alicia confirms, stepping back to the door.
[21:23] <Kotono> "I would...but maybe not right now," Donald speaks up, "Maybe I can find a lost spell here that would devastate anyone!"
06[21:24] * Demedais coughs slightly at hearing this, before leading the group on to the final door.
[21:24] <Kotono> "Donald's Dumb Decimation," With dripping sarcasm in her voice, "We should keep going so we don't waste the enchantments we've cast to strengthen ourselves."
[21:25] <Alicia> "Even if there were, it would take careful study to realise," Alicia tells Donald. "Lets press on and we can examine it at leisure afterwards."
[21:25] <Kotono> "Yeah," Donald follows along outside, and then once you are, "Did I step on your foot or something, or is Demedais rubbing off. Stop it," He replies irritably to Polly.
01[21:26] <Seira> "I bet he is," Seira mutters, passing the two by.
[21:26] <Kotono> Ahead lies the fortress! It's a grand expanse of metal and stone built into the wall. There is a gate inside, it's gates closed shut. It awaits silently.
[21:27] <Kotono> "You two shouldn't fight," Amaryl blushes and looks towards Seira, "We need to depend on each other for safety, not fight like children. Right, Seira?"
06[21:28] * Demedais just gives a weary smile to Pollyanna as he steps back to let Seira do her thing at the door, standing next to Pollyanna as he waits.
06[21:28] * Seira feels a bit guilty, before ruthlessly squashing it. "Sure thing. Behave, you wacky kids."
[21:29] <Kotono> "I'm older than you," Donald mutters darkly, but doesn't say anything louder than that.
01[21:29] <Seira> roll 1d20+27 traps on a gate?!
06[21:29] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+27 traps on a gate?! and gets 29." [1d20=2]
[21:29] <Kotono> "...sorry," Pollyanna snaps, "There's just a lot of pressure."
01[21:29] <Seira> "Oh sure like that's hard!" Seira calls over to Donald, grinning.
06[21:29] * Seira pushes the gate open!
[21:30] <Alicia> "But in elf terms you're a pubescent," Alicia tells Donald with an amused smirk.
[21:30] <Alicia> roll 1d20+10 spellcraft
06[21:30] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+10 spellcraft and gets 19." [1d20=9]
[21:31] <Alicia> "Wait," Alicia cautions Seira. "Magic - transmutation. Are you sure it's safe?"
06[21:31] * Seira doesn't push the gate open!
[21:32] <Kotono> At the last moment, Seira stops the gate from opening.
06[21:32] * Demedais puts a hand on Pollyanna's shoulder. "There is. Let's all just calm down for a bit, alright?"
01[21:32] <Seira> "It could always be like that trap on the creepy mural room," she admits. "Is the aura everywhere? I mean, must we actually open the gate to proceed?"
[21:33] <Alicia> "It's all over the gate, anyway," Alicia confirms. "If it's a trap can you disarm it?"
01[21:33] <Seira> "Not if I can't see it," Seira admits, "though I could check again."
01[21:33] <Seira> roll 1d20+27 if I can
06[21:33] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+27 if I can and gets 35." [1d20=8]
06[21:35] * Seira frowns. "Okay, so there really is a pretty nasty trap. Here's to hoping they spent all their resources on that cloudkill door, or this would be a very short expedition?"
[21:36] <Alicia> "I doubt they spared much expense," Alicia replies dubiously, backing off thirty feet. "I can try dispelling it if you have trouble?"
01[21:37] <Seira> "For the record, I don't buy into that final reward thing, so if I die from opening a door, please bring me back," Seira tells Alicia brightly. "As long as how I died in the first place remains a secret. Donald."
01[21:37] <Seira> roll 1d20+28 DD
06[21:37] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+28 DD and gets 41." [1d20=13]
[21:38] <Kotono> Seira works away! Fortunately, Waukeen is at her side, for she is able to safely disactivate the trap's trigger! It should be safe to open the gates now.
06[21:38] * Seira itches to study a trap that seemed so nasty and evasive, but decides to leave it for later, opening the gate!
01[21:38] <Seira> roll 1d20+27 doublechecking for more traps
06[21:38] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+27 doublechecking for more traps and gets 41." [1d20=14]
06[21:39] * Demedais rubs his head as he waits, taking the helmet off for a moment before placing it back on as Seira continues to work!
[21:39] <Alicia> "Your call," Alicia shrugs. "Although given all your work on her behalf I'm certain Waukeen would care very well for you in her realm. Mystra has provided for one of us to be brought back if need be."
[21:39] <Kotono> The gate opens! Ahead is a dead end! A great, black, writhing hole twists on the wall, built into it. The hole is transparent, allowing you to dimly see something past it. It lies ahead twenty feet, inert, taking up the entire path into the building.
01[21:40] <Seira> "Well, I'm a bit weird that way. I don't feel like I've earned the chance to kick back and relax, so it'll all feel very hollow to me unless they mindwipe me to force me to enjoy my heaven. That's also kinda unfun, now that I think about it."
[21:41] <Kotono> "Maybe the point is that you forget so you can enjoy paradise?" Donald eyes the hole ahead, "Anyone know what that is?"
[21:41] <Alicia> "Marie never complains... about that, anyway. She complains about lots of other things," Alicia furrows her brow briefly, walking towards the gate once more and eyeing the black hole. "That doesn't look promising..."
[21:41] <Alicia> roll 1d20+10 spellcraft since it's surely magic
06[21:41] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+10 spellcraft since it's surely magic and gets 21." [1d20=11]
06[21:41] * Seira considers, and looks for another entrance, in case there's a hidden door and a trapped door.
[21:41] <Demedais> "Aaaand this is not something that brings back good memories. More akin to that damn black door, though this looks even more threatening on the surface of it."
01[21:41] <Seira> roll 1d20+27 search
06[21:41] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+27 search and gets 28." [1d20=1]
[21:41] <Kotono> As Alicia comes to within ten feet of the hole, it winks away entirely.
[21:42] <Demedais> roll 1d20+31 trying to spot anything around, just outside or anything inside
06[21:42] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+31 trying to spot anything around, just outside or anything inside and gets 49." [1d20=18]
[21:42] <Alicia> "Seems to be a transmutation aura of... aha!" she nods. "A defensive measure, but our tokens must disable it." So is it just a bare wall now or what?
01[21:42] <Seira> "Well, I'm sure that if I got teleported to a balor's presence again, I'll have a good chance of caving his face in?" Seira muses in response to Demedais.
06[21:43] * Alicia looks sharply towards Seira. "Don't do that. If you have to kill a balor make sure you've got a lot of distance before making the killing blow. It's very bad otherwise."
01[21:43] <Seira> "Oh, I'm sure I could dodge the exploding balor bits!"
[21:43] <Demedais> "Seira, hold on a moment." Demedais muses, pausing. "And yeah, probably, you two." Demedais looks over at the groove in the wall closer, pointing it out to Alicia and Seira. "Perhaps it's a second entrance? I mean, we can go through the front just fine, it seems, but..."
[21:43] <Kotono> Ahead you can see a large, main room. The floor is made of black and white marble, pillars supporting the ceiling and decorating. It's a tall room, walkways lining the walls and leading to doors to a second floor are about - thoguh you don't see any stairways or ways to reach those without flying. (More)
[21:45] <Kotono> There is a large, iron barred door straight ahead, underneath the walkways and on ground level. There is a door on the lower left side of the room, on the ground level as well. On the upper level and thew alkways, there is a door to the right, an open arch. There is also a door to the left, two of them, one with a iron door and the other being another arch. Demedais meanwhile points out a groove back in the outer wall the gate is built into, fo
[21:45] <Kotono> Demedais meanwhile points out a groove back in the outer wall the gate is built into, fourty feet to the left of the main gate.
01[21:46] <Seira> "I'm really good with following either," Seira says with a shrug. "But not many could follow me into that groove."
[21:46] <Alicia> "How about this one first?" Alicia suggests, going towards the door on the left at ground level and checking for magic.
06[21:47] * Demedais nods. "We can also just do a second sweep through of all the grooves later, once we've narrowed down our options. Let's keep going, then?"
[21:47] <Kotono> As Alicia comes to within ten feet of the groove in the wall, it expands! The stone shifts andforms a little circular opening with a stairway leading into the ground revealed!
[21:48] <Demedais> "...or all the grooves could be keyed to react to our tokens." Demedais mutters. "That's... sadly sensible."
[21:49] <Alicia> "It's a lot of effort. If the place was overrun the tokens could be easily stolen, likewise any spy would surely be able to steal one," Alicia muses, peering down the staircase.
[21:49] <Kotono> The staircase is maybe ten feet wide or so. It winds down and down and down. You don't see a bottom within the sixty feet your darkvision allow you to see.
[21:50] <Alicia> "That door's probably trapped, it has magic on it," Alicia indicates the door on the left she originally aimed for. "Want to see if you can open it safely so we can take a look before trying the stairs, Seira?"
[21:50] <Demedais> "Perhaps they were once beter protected?" Demedais hazards. "I didn't spot the shelves at first, and the devil summoning room was probably far more, ah, busy in earlier times.
01[21:51] <Seira> "It could always be a trap, so sure, let me take a look," Seira agrees easily, approaching it.
01[21:51] <Seira> roll 1d20+27 traps?
06[21:51] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+27 traps? and gets 38." [1d20=11]
[21:51] <Kotono> OOC: Are you going in or just checking the entryway to the stair for traps?
01[21:52] <Seira> OOC: Sorry, I'm checking the metal door Alicia asked me to
[21:52] <Kotono> OOC: Which one then, Alicia?
[21:52] <Alicia> OOC: the one on the ground floor on the left
[21:53] <Kotono> Seira goes back into the fortress and past the vanished black hole, searching the metal door! She doesn't find any traps on it.
01[21:54] <Seira> "Are you sure there's magic here?" she calls back to Alicia, not wishing to call upon her own spell of magical sight just yet.
[21:54] <Alicia> roll 1d20+10 spellcraft
06[21:54] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+10 spellcraft and gets 30." [1d20=20]
[21:54] <Demedais> "There was probably magic on the whirling blackness." Demedais comments.
[21:55] <Alicia> "Yes. It's a divination spell," Alicia answers. "Maybe it's not a trap, then, but something to identify when people enter?"
01[21:56] <Seira> "Like whether I have a token or not? Which I do!" And Seira decides to try and open the door.
[21:59] <Kotono> Seira appraoches and opens the door! Ahead is a marble floor. A luxurious hallway has glass cases along it's sides, full of strange objects at a glance. A voice in gnomish speaks in Seira's mind! 'You are entering the Planar Control Museum. Please do not be without your identifying marks at all times or you will risk injury or death. Do not disturb items or subjects. Repeat, do not disturb items or subjects.'
[21:59] <Kotono> Repeat, do not disturb items or subjects.'
01[21:59] <Seira> "O-kay. Anyone without tokens probably shouldn't enter."
[22:00] <Alicia> "Lets try the stairs first?" Alicia suggests after peering over Seira's shoulder down the hallway.
[22:00] <Demedais> "Alright. Should Pollyanna and I wait outside while you four go through, once we get to that point? I'd rather wait until we have to to split up - maybe we'll find more tokens." Demedais notes.
01[22:00] <Seira> "The ones going below? I don't wanna, it's dark and we're likely to be eaten by something."
[22:01] <Kotono> "I'd say we're likely to be eaten by something no matter what. Did you forget the giant lizards, or the aboleths, or the slimes?" Donald ticks off fingers.
[22:02] <Demedais> "...can't you see in the dark?" Demedais asks bemusedly. "Regardless, perhaps we should go for another arch, then?"
[22:02] <Kotono> "Alicia's right. Let's follow the stairs first. We can do an area we have to split up on last." Pollyanna shifts her shoulders, quiver moving back and forth.
01[22:02] <Seira> "I don't like dark places if there's a better alternative!"
[22:02] <Alicia> "We're going to have to explore it eventually," Alicia says reasonably. "I'll even use a light spell if it'll make you feel better."
01[22:03] <Seira> "It probably would," Seira asserts, taking stock of all the doors on ground level.
[22:04] <Kotono> There is only one other door on the ground level, an iron barred door to the north.
01[22:04] <Seira> roll 1d20+27 is the iron-barred door trapped?
06[22:04] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+27 is the iron-barred door trapped? and gets 41." [1d20=14]
06[22:04] * Alicia nods indulgently and goes over towards the half-dragon. "Light of my soul, banish away the unkind shadows," she incants before tapping Seira's cloak.
[22:04] <Alicia> OOC: CL on light?
[22:04] <Kotono> OOC: Yes.
[22:04] <Alicia> roll 1d20+16
06[22:04] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+16 and gets 22." [1d20=6]
[22:04] <Kotono> OOC: d100.
[22:05] <Alicia> roll 1d100 look what you made me do
06[22:05] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d100 look what you made me do and gets 8." [1d100=8]
[22:05] <Kotono> Abruptly, Alicia's hair grows! Suddenly, it becomes longer! A foot or so longer, reaching down to her waist and butt in a cascade of black!
01[22:05] <Seira> "This is fine too," Seira says in approval.
[22:05] <Demedais> "Uh."
06[22:07] * Alicia jerks as her hair clasp springs off at the sudden increase in follical mass. "I'm glad you approve," she sighs, going to pick up the clasp before idly taking hold of her extended locks to examine them a moment. Seeing nothing terribly amiss she ties it off once more, although it's a fair bit more unruly looking and massive than before, gathered at the back of her head.
[22:08] <Kotono> "That was...well, wild and random," Donald mutters, "How about we just use another sunrod. ANyone have one?"
[22:08] <Demedais> "I... was going to suggest a sunrod, but you two rolled ahead with the light spell..." Demedais comments. "I do. Carry a set of six around, usually."
01[22:09] <Seira> "I might keep mine short but that doesn't mean I don't like long hair, too," Seira elaborates, before glancing at the northern door. "So we're going below, I take it? Whatever's here just disengages when I approach, so it's no fun."
[22:10] <Alicia> "It's not likely to catch on my armour these days, but I'd rather not give an enemy a convenient handhold," Alicia explains, letting Demedais use his alchemical light as she leads the way downstairs.
[22:10] <Kotono> OOC: Who's on point then as you go down?
[22:10] <Alicia> OOC: Leads the way? I guess I am
06[22:11] * Demedais nods and strikes the light as they go down, staying right behind Alicia.
[22:11] <Demedais> roll 1d20+31
06[22:11] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+31 and gets 47." [1d20=16]
06[22:11] * Seira decides to stick to Amaryl, asking her quietly, "How about you? Do you prefer long or short hair?"
01[22:11] <Seira> roll 1d20+13
06[22:11] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+13 and gets 16." [1d20=3]
[22:11] <Demedais> OOC: -5, sorry.
[22:11] <Kotono> The party starts to descend down the stair, going perhaps twenty feet down! As they do...(More)
[22:12] <Demedais> "Alicia, move BACK!" Demedais grunts, throwing the light straight at the ripple as he quickly pulls out his spear and backs off twenty feet.
06[22:13] * Alicia abruptly stops and jumps backwards a few feet, drawing her blade in a smooth motion.
[22:14] <Kotono> As Alicia and the party jerk and stumble back, the sunrod is thrown! It lands 5 feet of where Alicia was(10 feet away from her now, treating her jerk back as a 5 ft step), bouncing off something unseen! OOC: I think you know what this might be. Let's do init?
[22:14] <Alicia> roll 1d20+8
06[22:14] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+8 and gets 11." [1d20=3]

06[22:14] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+7 Amaryl, previous was Polly and gets 25." [1d20=18]

06[22:14] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+2 Donald and gets 12." [1d20=10]

06[22:14] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20-4 and gets 13." [1d20=17]
01[22:15] <Seira> roll 1d20+6
06[22:15] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+6 and gets 8." [1d20=2]
03[22:15] * Kotono changes topic to 'Amaryl=Polly>Demedais>????>Donald>Alicia>Seira'
[22:15] <Kotono> "Is it another one of those?" Amaryl calls as she readies arrows. "Fire at it?"
01[22:15] <Seira> "Anything hiding even from my eyes like that in the dark is hostile!"
[22:15] <Demedais> "It is, I'm pretty bloody sure." Demedais nods!
[22:16] <Kotono> At that, the two archers open fire!
[22:16] <Kotono> roll 1d20+22 (+2 heroism, +2 GMW)
[22:16] <Kotono> roll 1d20+22 (+2 heroism, +2 GMW)
06[22:16] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+22 (+2 heroism, +2 GMW) and gets 36." [1d20=14]

06[22:16] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 2d8+28+2d6 and gets 49." [2d8=6, 8][2d6=4, 3]
[22:17] <Kotono> Pollyanna's flaming arrows rip into the thing ahead, arrows coming out with a white sheen of hissing, acidid slime down the stair! A moment later, Amaryl opens fire as well!
[22:17] <Kotono> roll 1d20+17
[22:17] <Kotono> roll 1d20+17

[22:18] <Kotono> OOC: I'm on it.
01[22:19] <Seira> OOC: Damage is getting reduced, then?
[22:19] <Kotono> A second volley of arrows rips through the unseen ooze, tearing into it again! OOC: Deme.
[22:20] <Kotono> "Another one?" Donald grimaces, "Staying back, staying back!"
06[22:20] * Demedais nods slightly and steps in, jabbing viciously at the thing quickly! "I'm not going to enjoy this... Kill as quick as possible, everyone!"
[22:21] <Demedais> roll 1d20+16 (+1 GMW -7 PA)
06[22:21] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+16 (+1 GMW -7 PA) and gets 35." [1d20=19]

06[22:22] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 2d10+50 I presume it's not chaotic. and gets 56." [2d10=1, 5]
[22:23] <Kotono> Demedais thrusts into his unseen foe, ripping hard with the eyed glaive! As he does, the slime surges forward unseen, risking to engulf Alicia and Demedais and Donald! OOC: Ref, you three.
[22:23] <Kotono> roll 1d20+8 (+2 heroism)
06[22:23] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+8 (+2 heroism) and gets 10." [1d20=2]

06[22:24] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 6d8 and 1 dex damage to Donald and Deme owwies this is still acid damage at least for Deme and gets 29." [6d8=5, 1, 5, 8, 8, 2]

[22:24] <Kotono> roll 3d6 bummer you two
06[22:24] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 3d6 bummer you two and gets 11." [3d6=2, 4, 5]
03[22:24] * Kotono changes topic to 'Amaryl=Polly>Demedais(Paralysed 11 rounds)>????>Donald(paralysed 11 rounds)>Alicia>Seira'
[22:25] <Kotono> Alicia is able to dive off the stairway, flying in the air! The other two aren't so lucky, caught and dragged along inside of the invisible ooze! They go still, paralysed instantly! It surely can't be fara way from the other three now! OOC: Donald is paralysed. Alicia?
03[22:25] * Kotono changes topic to 'Amaryl=Polly>Demedais(Paralysed 11 rounds)>????>Donald(paralysed 10 rounds)>Alicia>Seira'
01[22:26] <Seira> "Dammit, Donald!" Seira curses, dismayed that Demedais of all people was also caught off guard. At least with the elf, she's come to expect it.
[22:26] <Kotono> LIght also shines within the slime, the usnrod carried along with it as well, acid eating away at it!
[22:27] <Alicia> Carefully flapping her wings to stay aloft in this confined space, Alicia angles herself above the cube containing the menfolk, hoping this vantage will keep her safe from the inevitable torrent of acid as she slices rapidly through it, rending apart whatever surface tension holds it together!
[22:27] <Alicia> roll 1d20+20 -5pa divine might flying
06[22:27] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+20 -5pa divine might flying and gets 37." [1d20=17]

[22:28] <Alicia> roll 6#1d100
06[22:28] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 6#1d100 and gets 293." [6#1d100 = 45, 58, 72, 34, 37, 47]
[22:28] <Kotono> OOC: Two hits.
[22:28] <Alicia> roll 2d8+46+2d6+2d6
06[22:28] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 2d8+46+2d6+2d6 and gets 74." [2d8=7, 7][2d6=2, 5][2d6=1, 6]
[22:29] <Kotono> Alicia tags the slime twice, doing grevious damage but the thing doesn't release it's dying wave of acid, surely still surviving as Demedais and Donald are held! OOC: Seira.
01[22:31] <Seira> "Alright. I'll cover your retreat and try to dodge that thing," Seira tells the archers, "while you two should retreat a bit and shoot it some more. Sounds like a plan?" She steps twenty feet back, drawing a trio of darts and imbuing them with arcane might, following that up with a toss at the sunrod!
01[22:31] <Seira> roll 1d20 don't 1, channeling summon monster vi
06[22:31] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20 don't 1, channeling summon monster vi and gets 10." [1d20=10]

[22:33] <Kotono> roll 1d3
06[22:33] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d3 and gets 2." [1d3=2]
01[22:33] <Seira> "Lagann, see if you could help me out?" Seira asks the metal orb calmly, entrusting it with the Resort once more.
[22:34] <Kotono> Firing off arcane energies, Seira pierces the slime! Abruptly, Donald and Demedais drop to the ground, hissing and sizzling in a pool of gooey acid! OOC: Free act, it's dead. Resolving the first of two rounds of follow up acid damage on the two.
[22:34] <Kotono> roll 3d8
06[22:34] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 3d8 and gets 18." [3d8=7, 3, 8]
[22:34] <Kotono> Lagann begins to strike, but only hits dissolving slime and air as the ooze is slain.
06[22:35] * Seira decides to keep Lagann occupied with the blade just in case there's another slime further ahead that they'll eventually come across.
[22:35] <Kotono> "Good plan, but I think it's dead," Pollyanna peers down, "Isn't it?"
01[22:35] <Seira> "Seems like! But you always plan for the worst even as you hope for the best!"
06[22:35] * Alicia pulls down her blindfold so that no other slimes will be able to sneak up on them, landing back on the stairs. "The paralysis should wear off quickly, if last time is any indication, at least."
[22:36] <Kotono> roll 3d8 second and last applicaiton of acid damage.
06[22:36] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 3d8 second and last applicaiton of acid damage. and gets 10." [3d8=5, 1, 4]
[22:36] <Kotono> "The paralysis should wear off soon, right?" Amaryl gasps as she watches.
01[22:36] <Seira> "I'm thinking that as well," Seira agrees. "I'll help Donald out!"
06[22:36] * Demedais does not respond, as he is paralyzed.
01[22:36] <Seira> roll 1d20+17 CMW CL
06[22:36] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+17 CMW CL and gets 30." [1d20=13]
01[22:36] <Seira> roll 2d8+10
06[22:36] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 2d8+10 and gets 23." [2d8=5, 8]
[22:36] <Kotono> Donald's wounds heal as he stays there, unmoving and paralyzed!
06[22:37] * Alicia isn't in any hurry to touch them and burn her hands, merely keeping guard until they rouse themselves.
[22:37] <Kotono> About a minute passes before the paralysis wears off, nothing of note occuring while they wait.
06[22:37] * Seira observes the two affected in case their condition deteriorates, but otherwise is content to give it as much as five minutes.
[22:38] <Kotono> Donald sits up, "Oooow. Okay, I hate those things now."
[22:38] <Alicia> "Do either of you require healing?" Alicia asks as the duo become once more dynamic.
[22:38] <Demedais> "..." Demedais grimaces. "Damn slime got into my armor this time..."
01[22:39] <Seira> "Did you bring a spare outfit? Because I didn't. That's part of why I didn't jump in myself."
[22:40] <Demedais> "I should be fine for now, thanks. More just a case of the stuff managing to stun me somehow." A glance to Seira as he stands. "I should be fine for now; I have a change of clothes if the opportunity arises later, Let's keep going." Demedais grimaces.
[22:40] <Alicia> "I have several, but they're unlikely to fit either of you two," Alicia says, before looking thoughtful. "Maybe Donald," she adds more quietly.
01[22:40] <Seira> "A crossdressing Demedais? I'm all for it!"
[22:42] <Demedais> "... That would likely only end in tears for everyone present, no matter which iteration taken." Demedais says with a wearily amused glance to Donald before continuing down. After a moment, he pulls a second sunrod out and lights it, before kicking the first so it rolls down the stairs! "Advance warning."
06[22:42] * Seira laughs. "But still, in all seriousness, doesn't all that span of full plate... chafe?"
[22:44] <Demedais> "No. Why would it?" Demedais asks.
01[22:45] <Seira> "Because swimming in acid is bad for your underwear?"
[22:45] <Demedais> "Not enough got in to manage that." Demedais replies.
01[22:45] <Seira> "Its hardness must be top notch."
06[22:46] * Alicia covers her mouth to keep from snickering as the party continues downwards, not wanting to get involved in this one.
[22:47] <Demedais> "The armor? Yes. And my shoulders and arms are used to carrying armor without any intervening clothing anyway. ...thinking back on that, the mercenary was probably just sadistic."
[22:47] <Kotono> "It is," Pollyanna murmurs to herself.
06[22:47] * Seira laughs."
[22:47] <Kotono> "That's terrible," Donald grunts, "I'm okay, but mithral's a lot lighter than steel. Wearing steel full plate is horrible without padding."
[22:47] <Alicia> "Ow," Alicia allows a vocal wince at that. "I can't stand wearing full plate even with padding. Having it against the skin would be intolerable."
[22:48] <Kotono> As Demedais kicks the sunrod along as they proceed down, "Armor's a sad fact of life. It looks nice, but it's so uncomfortable..." Amaryl murmurs.
[22:49] <Demedais> "I've gotten used to carrying things. ...not like my shoulder muscles ever unclench."
01[22:49] <Seira> "I'll join you in misery soon enough, when I get a suit for myself," Seira tells Amaryl, falling back into step with her. "I actually wore some a few years back, but I never really got back to it."
[22:50] <Kotono> "I wish I was an outsider who has skin tough as steel. I'd run around in a bathing suit or underwear," Pollyanna mutters dark things under her breath, "So I could forgo wearing armor."
06[22:50] * Seira gives Pollyanna a thumbs up. "I approve of this bold plan!"
[22:51] <Alicia> "My armour's great, actually," Alicia pats the silvery metal practically molded to her torso. "Honestly feels like I'm just wearing an overshirt."
[22:51] <Kotono> Kick! As Demedais punts the rod another 20 feet ahead, it hits against something solid and unseen!
[22:51] <Demedais> "You would, Seira." Demedais comments wryly. "... Everyone back up!"
01[22:52] <Seira> "Friendly banter stage, placed on pause!"
06[22:52] * Alicia readies her sword. "Definitely another one."
[22:52] <Kotono> OOC: You detected it before it could do any harm. Init again?
[22:52] <Alicia> roll 1d20+8
06[22:52] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+8 and gets 11." [1d20=3]

[22:52] <Demedais> roll 1d20+1 weee, shit init
06[22:52] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+1 weee, shit init and gets 10." [1d20=9]
[22:52] <Kotono> OOC: -4, so +1. 9.
03[22:53] * Kotono changes topic to 'Polly>Amaryl>Alicia>Demedais>OOZE>Seira=Donald'
[22:53] <Kotono> Pollyanna steps five feet further back, firing off a heavy bevy of arrows!
[22:53] <Kotono> roll 1d20+22
[22:53] <Kotono> roll 1d20+22
06[22:53] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+22 and gets 25." [1d20=3]

[22:53] <Kotono> roll 1d20+17
06[22:53] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+17 and gets 36." [1d20=19]
[22:53] <Kotono> roll 1d20+12
06[22:54] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+12 and gets 30." [1d20=18]
[22:54] <Kotono> roll 4#1d100
06[22:54] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 4#1d100 and gets 221." [4#1d100 = 81, 40, 63, 37]
[22:54] <Kotono> roll 2d8+2d6+28
06[22:54] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 2d8+2d6+28 and gets 48." [2d8=7, 5][2d6=2, 6]
[22:55] <Kotono> Twin arrows pulse through the invisible horror, cutting into it's slimy body and doing flaming, sizzling damage! Amaryl follows up with her own shots!
[22:55] <Kotono> roll 1d20+18
[22:55] <Kotono> roll 1d20+18
[22:55] <Kotono> roll 1d20+18

[22:55] <Kotono> roll 6#1d100
06[22:55] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 6#1d100 and gets 292." [6#1d100 = 47, 24, 79, 61, 56, 25]
[22:55] <Kotono> roll 3d8+12+3d6
06[22:55] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 3d8+12+3d6 and gets 30." [3d8=1, 8, 4][3d6=1, 1, 3]
[22:57] <Kotono> Another storm of arrows penetrates the creeping goo, dealing yet more harm to it! OOC: Alicia.
[22:58] <Demedais> "Non-archers, wait until my move?" Demedais suggests. "It's gonna try going for me first, most likely."
06[22:58] * Alicia flies up into the air above the stairs, positioning herself fifteen feet ahead of the slime and five feet above its height. "I'll be safe up here," she reassures Demedais, poised to sweep her blade beneath to hack its upper side as it passes below.
[22:59] <Kotono> OOC: Okay. Deme.
[23:01] <Demedais> "Right." Demedais nods, stepping back and readying his glaive for the slime's approach!
[23:01] <Kotono> The ooze sludges forward, sunrods and all! OOC: You two can do your held actions/aoos now.
06[23:02] * Demedais nods and jabs in at the slime!
06[23:02] * Alicia cuts wickedly through the slime as it passes below her!
[23:02] <Alicia> roll 1d20+13 -13pa
06[23:02] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+13 -13pa and gets 26." [1d20=13]
[23:02] <Kotono> OOC: Hit.
[23:02] <Alicia> roll 1d8+39+1d6+1d6
06[23:02] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d8+39+1d6+1d6 and gets 52." [1d8=2][1d6=5][1d6=6]
[23:02] <Demedais> roll 1d20+10 (+1 GMW, -13 PA)

06[23:03] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 2d100 miss chances and gets 184." [2d100=91, 93]
[23:03] <Kotono> OOC: Two hits.
[23:03] <Demedais> roll 2d10+76
06[23:03] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 2d10+76 and gets 86." [2d10=4, 6]
[23:04] <Kotono> Between Demedais and Alicia, the slime is torn in two! A gush of ooze comes from it's ruptured body! OOC: Ref, Deme.
[23:04] <Kotono> OOC: Concentration applies.
[23:04] <Demedais> roll 1d20+24 kay
06[23:04] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+24 kay and gets 41." [1d20=17]
[23:04] <Kotono> Demedais steps back, predicting the flow of acid and avoiding it utterly! OOC: Free act.
[23:04] <Alicia> "That one went a lot more painlessly," Alicia smiles as she lands back on the steps and continues heading downwards.
[23:05] <Kotono> "Whew." Donald follows along, "No harm at all. I have to say, good idea with the sunrod."
01[23:05] <Seira> "I think we're getting the hang of this," Seira agrees.
[23:07] <Demedais> "I like this sunrod method." Demedais nods, holding the sunrod with his gauntlet before kicking the other one down further still. "Did the gnomes let these loose, or did this all occur after they got eliminated, or... did they have a way around it?"
01[23:07] <Seira> "For all we know these paths are horrible traps meant to kill the intruders."
[23:08] <Alicia> "Maybe they're just a particularly outlandish method of keeping their corridors dust-free?" Alicia suggests dryly.
01[23:08] <Seira> "Maybe they're the gnomes, twisted by evil magics!"
[23:08] <Demedais> "This seems too, uh... uptight, defenses-wise, to be just a trap. If they wanted that they'd just have had a trap twenty feet ago." Demedais notes amusedly. "And I'd buy Alicia's explanation."
01[23:09] <Seira> "Twisted magics always make for a better story."
[23:09] <Kotono> The way down proceeds perhaps another one hundred feet. Ahead you see the bottom - it feeds directy into a room below. As you come down, you see ahead of you, it stretches in all directions. Glass tubes are everywhere. Large glass tubes. Some have barely visible slime floating in them, in briny water. Others have barely visible lions - hellcats, the party knows, having faced them many times - floating in translucent red fluid. The glass contain
[23:09] <Kotono> hellcats, the party knows, having faced them many times - floating in translucent red fluid. The glass containers stretch farther than the eye can see in all directions.
01[23:09] <Seira> "Slimes, hellcats. Fun, fun."
06[23:10] * Demedais looks around carefully. "Orrrr they could be more experiments. What fun."
[23:11] <Kotono> "What...what is this?" Amaryl holds a hand to her chest, "What are these things, Seira?"
[23:11] <Alicia> Once the stairs open up, Alicia lifts up her blindfold to look around. "Mother of all magic..." she gasps, staring. "That's how they're invisible - they've... crossbred, slime with bezekira." She frowns, parsing that. "Goodness, they really were a horribly imaginative lot, weren't they?"
[23:11] <Demedais> roll 1d20+31 right
06[23:11] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+31 right and gets 47." [1d20=16]
[23:11] <Kotono> Donald snaps his fingers, "Yeah, that makes sense! I've fought bezekira before! They're invisible except in pitch black dark."
01[23:11] <Seira> "Devil cats," Seira whispers to Amaryl. "Gnomes were creepy and played with joining species that weren't meant to be joint together."
06[23:12] * Alicia studies the flows of magic in this chamber, sweeping her gaze around as far as she can see.
[23:12] <Demedais> "They were. Emphasis on horribly." Demedais mutters.
[23:13] <Alicia> roll 1d20+10 spellcraft
06[23:13] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+10 spellcraft and gets 21." [1d20=11]
[23:13] <Demedais> "What we fought were escapees of these glass tubes. There are broken ones over there." Demedais gestures.
[23:13] <Kotono> Pointing down quite a ways, the party cna note there are several broken tubes to the north and the east.
06[23:14] * Seira checks to see whether any container is close to breaking.
01[23:14] <Seira> OOC: Search, 10 for 37?
[23:14] <Alicia> "I wonder if there's a failsafe, something to kill them all in the tubes without us having to break them out and fight them one by one - there's so many, after all," Alicia muses, before starting to walk onwards in the same direction as the stairs came from. "Lets see how far this goes?"
[23:14] <Kotono> Some of the containers are showing their age. A few have small cracks here and there, signs of slow breakdown.
[23:15] <Demedais> roll 1d20+26 listen
06[23:15] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+26 listen and gets 34." [1d20=8]
01[23:15] <Seira> "There probably is, but I wonder if it's here."
[23:17] <Kotono> The party begins to walk along. As they do, past glass containers...(More)
[23:17] <Demedais> "Regardless, I don't like this at all..." Demedais grimaces. "Wide open areas with broken canisters... Alicia, keep the blindfold down?"
06[23:17] * Alicia nods and yanks said cloth over her eyes.
[23:18] <Alicia> "Hellcats!" Alicia yells, whirling and pointing in the direction they're charging from. "Polly, Amaryl, move!"
01[23:18] <Seira> "Get over here!" Seira calls out to Amaryl and Pollyanna, leaping past them to place herself between the archers and the hellcats she had seen advance, Resort drawn. Lagann would have to make do with the gnomish sword, for now. "Three of them, right here!"
[23:18] <Kotono> OOC: Init. You avoided a surprise attack of mauling pain.
[23:18] <Alicia> roll 1d20+8

[23:21] <Kotono> Unseen to all but Alicia and Seira, the second hellcat is the fastest! It oozes and pounces forward at Pollyanna!

[23:25] <Kotono> Pollyanna is pounced on! Invisible teeth rip into her, jets of oozing acid splashing into deep, bleeding wounds! Blood and acid fly everywhere! OOC: Amaryl, Polly and the second cat are up.
[23:25] <Kotono> Amaryl hurries straight backwards, but as she does, the other Hellcat pounces on her!
01[23:25] <Seira> "Shoot at Pollyanna's attacker!" Seira calls out tersely, pointing it out needlessly, if the spurts of blood from Pollyanna failed to make the point.
[23:26] <Kotono> roll 1d20+27 (+2 invis, +2 charge, -5 PA)
06[23:26] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+27 (+2 invis, +2 charge, -5 PA) and gets 40." [1d20=13]

[23:27] <Kotono> Staggering back, Amaryl gets her back ripped into! Her flesh is horrifically seared by claws of oozing acid as she flees behind Seira! As she does, she snaps off a foursome of arrows at the one that attacked Pollyanna, hoping!

[23:30] <Kotono> Two arrows seem to hit something unseen, causing oozing blood to trickle out! Pollyanna withdraws back, hurrying behind Demedais! OOC: Polly withdrew since she got jacked up. Alicia.
[23:31] <Alicia> Knowing Amaryl has a pure heart and Pollyanna is now safely out of the way, Alicia gestures towards the cats, calling upon Mystra's holy radiance to smite them! "Back to the pit, fell felines!"
[23:31] <Alicia> OOC: CL for holy smite?
[23:31] <Kotono> OOC: Yes.
[23:31] <Alicia> roll 1d20+17

[23:32] <Kotono> Four little orbs of light dance around near the unseen hellcats, weaving and wobbling in the air like they're dancing! OOC: Deme.
01[23:33] <Seira> "Donald, wait on me!" Seira commands, eyeing the nearest hellcat warily.
[23:33] <Alicia> "Dammit! Not now!" Alicia curses vehemently at her magic's failure.
06[23:35] * Demedais grimaces and lashes out at the spot where Pollyanna got violently bit into, attempting to outguess the hellcat with a whisper to Helm and a keen eye!

[23:38] <Kotono> Demedais thrusts in the dark, managing one plunging hit blind! Yet the blow is somewhat resisted, it's toughened body resisting even that! "I can...or cast see invisible? Seira?" Donald asks quickly! OOC: Donald's up.
01[23:38] <Seira> "Just give me a moment!"
01[23:39] <Seira> OOC: Is he holding on me?
[23:39] <Kotono> OOC: Okay, if you want. Go Seira.
06[23:41] * Seira sends Lagann to harass the deformed hellcat that struck at Amaryl, directing it towards its last estimated position. Even if Lagann misses however, his main goal is to allow Seira to strike at the distracted beast! She flies up suddenly, and then she's in range, attacking herself!
[23:41] <Kotono> roll 1d20+8
06[23:41] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+8 and gets 13." [1d20=5]

[23:43] <Kotono> OOC: If you wanna move right over to it and give it a potentially easy target, sure.
[23:43] <Alicia> OOC: I do
[23:45] <Kotono> "Fine, fine! Don't blame me if I miss, I'm swinging blind!" With that, Donald quickly 5 ft steps into range and swings!

06[23:48] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d2 and gets 1." [1d2=1]

[23:51] <Kotono> Despite having it's side ripped like a jelly roll, the cat charges, pouncing right on Alicia!
01[23:51] <Seira> "Sorry, it got away!" Seira calls after it apologetically.
[23:51] <Kotono> roll 1d20+27 (+2 charge, -3 PA) claw

[23:53] <Kotono> Alicia has her flank torn open with hissing acid, the hellcat taking advantage of it's pounce to inflict grevious damage! OOC: First cat and the archers are up.
[23:54] <Kotono> Safely back now, Pollyanna takes cover behind a glass tube and snaps off a single shot at the first cat!

[23:56] <Kotono> But she doesn't land a clean shot on any of them! The first hellcat can be seen by Seira, withdrawing back and away from the melee fourty feet! OOC: Alicia.
[23:57] <Alicia> "I've fought the top of Baator's aristocracy and you think your pride of gnomish cast-offs can defeat me?!" Alicia demands of the cats at the mental taunting she's receiving.
[23:57] <Alicia> "Suffer for your arrogance!" A golden glow illuminates her angelic form as she pirouettes away from the one who just charged her, whipping her blade around to scythe brutally through the first in several quick slashes too fast to be seen before she rounds on the second, carving it up as well!
[23:58] <Alicia> roll 1d20+22 knowledge (planes, right?)
06[23:58] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+22 knowledge (planes, right?) and gets 26." [1d20=4]

03[00:01] * Kotono changes topic to 'Cat1=Amaryl=Polly(26)>Alicia(23)>Demedais(20)>Seira(16)>Donald'
[00:01] <Kotono> Alicia catches both cats before they can move, ripping them into utter flaming shreds! They settle down and die, fading into puddles of hissing ooze! OOC Deme.
01[00:02] <Seira> "Can you see the last one?" Seira asks Demedais.
[00:02] <Demedais> "No, I can't! Not in front of you, then?"
01[00:03] <Seira> "It retreated. Give me a moment and I'll point it out!"
06[00:03] * Demedais holds on Seira's action, then!
[00:03] <Kotono> OOC: Seira.
06[00:03] * Seira charges the ooze-like hellcat!
01[00:03] <Seira> roll 1d20+24
06[00:03] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+24 and gets 30." [1d20=6]
01[00:04] <Seira> roll 3d8+9
06[00:04] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 3d8+9 and gets 24." [3d8=8, 3, 4]
[00:06] <Kotono> OOC: It has reach on you, Seira, you'll get AoOed if you charge. You okay with that?
01[00:07] <Seira> roll 1d20+17 tumble
06[00:07] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+17 tumble and gets 29." [1d20=12]
[00:07] <Kotono> Seira dives and rolls in, stabbing into the hellcat's side! It's not a deep wound, but it's a safe one as she avoids a snap of it's maw! OOC: Going Deme or should Donald go?
06[00:08] * Demedais charges at the area Seira attacked, trying to shield the rest of the group from harm as he aims to impale the cat!
[00:08] <Demedais> roll 1d20+22 (+6 Law Dev +1 GMW -9 PA +2 Charge) plz die now kitty
06[00:08] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+22 (+6 Law Dev +1 GMW -9 PA +2 Charge) plz die now kitty and gets 34." [1d20=12]
[00:09] <Kotono> OOC: Now you WILL get AoOed, since it's invisible to you and has reach. <_<
[00:09] <Kotono> OOC: Oh wait, reach weapon. Nevermind.
[00:09] <Kotono> OOC: D100.
[00:09] <Demedais> roll 1d100
06[00:09] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d100 and gets 94." [1d100=94]
[00:09] <Kotono> OOC: Damage.
[00:09] <Demedais> roll 1d10+30
06[00:09] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d10+30 and gets 39." [1d10=9]
[00:10] <Kotono> Demedais rips it's shoulders open with a jagged cut, while Donald quickly snaps off arcane words as he goes to guard Pollyanna!
[00:10] <Kotono> roll 1d20+12
06[00:10] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+12 and gets 22." [1d20=10]
[00:10] <Kotono> roll 1d100
06[00:10] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d100 and gets 76." [1d100=76]
[00:11] <Kotono> A ring of fire appears around Donald, heat basting him!
[00:11] <Kotono> roll 2d4 fire damage
06[00:11] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 2d4 fire damage and gets 6." [2d4=3, 3]
[00:12] <Kotono> Donald is completely covered with a circular wall of fire, hidden from view by raging flames! OOC: Cat and the archers.
[00:12] <Kotono> The hellcat flat runs this time, leaving it's flank vulnerable as it flees! OOC: Seira, you can AoO, it's running like hell.
01[00:13] <Seira> roll 1d20+22 just die!
06[00:13] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+22 just die! and gets 33." [1d20=11]
01[00:13] <Seira> roll 3d8+9
06[00:13] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 3d8+9 and gets 16." [3d8=2, 3, 2]
[00:13] <Kotono> Seira gets a graze on it's flank as it turns and flees amid the glass capsules! AS it starts to, Amaryl snaps off a burst of arrows at it!
[00:14] <Kotono> roll 1d20+16
[00:14] <Kotono> roll 1d20+16
06[00:14] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+16 and gets 36." [1d20=20]
06[00:14] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+16 and gets 32." [1d20=16]
[00:14] <Kotono> roll 1d20+16
[00:14] <Kotono> roll 1d20+16
06[00:14] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+16 and gets 20." [1d20=4]
06[00:14] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+16 and gets 26." [1d20=10]
[00:14] <Kotono> roll 1d20+11
06[00:14] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+11 and gets 18." [1d20=7]
[00:14] <Kotono> roll 1d20+11
06[00:14] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+11 and gets 23." [1d20=12]
[00:14] <Kotono> roll 3d8+12
06[00:14] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 3d8+12 and gets 27." [3d8=2, 7, 6]
[00:15] <Kotono> Amaryl's arrows hit the blubbry cat as it vanishes and runs quite a ways, deep into the various glass tubes all about! OOC: It's out of sight. You guys can free act a moment, we'll do init again if you can find it/catch it.
[00:15] <Demedais> "Seira, is it still here?" Demedais asks tersely.
01[00:15] <Seira> "No, it ran off. Use the chance to help Pollyanna?" Seira responds, herself making way towards Amaryl to guard her.
06[00:16] * Alicia flies over to Pollyanna for the moment, avoiding the flaming elf nearby and putting a hand on the archer's arm. "Hold still a second," she asks, channeling spellfire to heal her.
[00:16] <Alicia> roll 18d4+18
06[00:16] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 18d4+18 and gets 67." [18d4=3, 4, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 3, 1, 3, 4, 1, 1, 3, 2, 3, 2, 1]
[00:16] <Kotono> Meanwhile, Donald cries out and runs past the barrier, taking pain as he escapes his oven-like fate!
[00:17] <Kotono> roll 2d6+12 beats frying alive
06[00:17] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 2d6+12 beats frying alive and gets 20." [2d6=6, 2]
06[00:17] * Demedais nods and quickly sprints back to Pollyanna, moving to heal her- but on seeing Alicia reach her first, holds five feet away.
[00:17] <Demedais> "Pollyanna, will you be alright for now?" Demedais asks, glancing to Donald's crispified self next.
[00:18] <Kotono> Pollyanna rests against a glass tube, stained with her fresh blood. "T-thanks..." she says, taking Alicia's hand as she touches her to help herself up.
[00:18] <Kotono> "Ow!" Donald hurries away from the wall, "Damn wild magic!"
[00:18] <Alicia> "Sorry I didn't spot them earlier," Alicia apologises. "Lets be more careful, there could be more... does anyone else need healing?" She does heal herself on that note.
[00:18] <Alicia> roll 9d4+9
06[00:18] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 9d4+9 and gets 32." [9d4=1, 2, 3, 3, 4, 2, 3, 2, 3]
06[00:19] * Demedais grimaces. "Donald, over here. Alicia, you're not looking that great, yourself..."
01[00:19] <Seira> "Nasty cats," Seira murmurs, placing a hand across Amaryl's shoulders and waving Alicia over. "A bit, if you could."
[00:19] <Kotono> Donald goes over to Demedais without comment.
[00:19] <Kotono> "Who thinks of breeding hellcats and slimes?" Pollyanna walks out with Alicia, "What sort of sick mind even...":
06[00:20] * Demedais taps Donald on the shoulder, healing him some. "Stupid bloody gnomes."
[00:20] <Demedais> OOC: 28 loh
01[00:20] <Seira> "Would it be better if they used snakes and dragons?"
[00:20] <Alicia> "Gnomes. That's all I can say," Alicia just shakes her head, walking over to Seira and Amaryl and using her divine healing power, saving her spell in reserve for now.
[00:20] <Alicia> OOC: 24 lay on hands
[00:20] <Demedais> "Zetsubokou and Esthan." Demedais growls, looking around some more.

Corwin · March 28, 2012, 03:17:19 PM

[20:01] <Koaway> <Seira> "Nasty cats," Seira murmurs, placing a hand across Amaryl's shoulders and waving Alicia over. "A bit, if you could."
[20:01] <Koaway> > Donald goes over to Demedais without comment.
[20:01] <Koaway> > "Who thinks of breeding hellcats and slimes?" Pollyanna walks out with Alicia, "What sort of sick mind even...":
[20:01] <Koaway> * Demedais taps Donald on the shoulder, healing him some. "Stupid bloody gnomes."
[20:01] <Koaway> <Demedais> OOC: 28 loh
[20:01] <Koaway> <Seira> "Would it be better if they used snakes and dragons?"
[20:01] <Koaway> <Alicia> "Gnomes. That's all I can say," Alicia just shakes her head, walking over to Seira and Amaryl and using her divine healing power, saving her spell in reserve for now.
[20:02] <Koaway> <Alicia> OOC: 24 lay on hands
[20:02] <Koaway> <Demedais> "Zetsubokou and Esthan." Demedais growls, looking around some more.
[20:02] <Alicia> OOC: 20 lay on hands, my mistake
[20:02] <Koaway> As wounds are healed and the party reassesses, "Let's keep going or what?" Donald looks around, "There has to be something besides glass tubes down here, right?"
[20:03] <Demedais> "Hopefully, yes."
01[20:03] <Seira> "We should search for the wounded beasty, first," Seira cautions, before looking at Alicia strangely. "And not that I'm one to talk, but why did you rant at the oozecats?"
[20:04] <Alicia> "I'll risk protecting us from acid if anyone wants it," Alicia offers. "It burns and numbs the blood, which we could do without." She then turns to Seira and taps her head, "Devils like to use telepathy. They thought I'd make a good meal."
01[20:04] <Seira> "They talked to you?" Seira asks in surprise.
[20:04] <Koaway> "I'll take the risk," Pollyanna volunteers. "That was horrible."
[20:05] <Alicia> "Bezekira often do that," Alicia replies as if it were obvious, approaching Pollyanna and attempting the spell. "It's never happened to you?"
[20:05] <Alicia> OOC: CL on resist energy?
[20:05] <Demedais> "My armor protects me from the brunt of it; I should be fine. I'd recommend it, though, if only to take the bite out of any further attacks." Demedais nods.
[20:05] <Koaway> OOC: Yes.
[20:06] <Alicia> roll 1d20+16
06[20:06] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+16 and gets 18." [1d20=2]
[20:06] <Alicia> roll 1d100 bah
06[20:06] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d100 bah and gets 24." [1d100=24]
[20:06] <Koaway> roll 1d6
06[20:06] * Hatbot --> "Koaway rolls 1d6 and gets 5." [1d6=5]
[20:06] <Koaway> Nothing seems to happen...
01[20:06] <Seira> "Not this time," Seira responds with a shake of her head. "I thought they were too stupid for that, from all the ooze parts."
[20:06] <Koaway> Donald eyes Alicia and Pollyanna, "The oozes seemed dumb, but maybe the hellcats retained an intellect? Say, it's kind of like how that snake-dragon could talk a bit?"
06[20:07] * Alicia frowns. "Let me try again. Acid be neutralised by my barrier!"
[20:07] <Alicia> roll 1d20+16
06[20:07] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+16 and gets 29." [1d20=13]
[20:07] <Koaway> Alicia's voice comes out as the spell works! However, it is high pitched and squeaky. OOC: Second casting works.
06[20:07] * Demedais waits patiently, before blinking at Alicia's voice. "Uh.
06[20:08] * Alicia claps a hand over her mouth afterwards. "I'm... going to be quiet, now," she whispers, trying very hard to deepen her voice.
[20:08] <Demedais> "Wild magic. That's all I can say." Demedais grumbles.
[20:08] <Koaway> It doesn't work so well. Even her whispers are squeaky.
[20:08] <Alicia> "Hate this stuff," she grumbles in an annoyingly cutesy tone, repeating the spell to protect herself.
[20:08] <Alicia> roll 1d20+16
06[20:08] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+16 and gets 30." [1d20=14]
[20:09] <Koaway> The spell works as designed. Donald snickers, but raises his hand, "Protect me, too?"
06[20:09] * Seira shrugs. "Might be fun!" she agrees.
[20:09] <Alicia> "Not a word," Alicia gives Donald a glare at odds with her girlish tone as she casts another spell.
[20:09] <Alicia> roll 1d20+16
06[20:09] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+16 and gets 33." [1d20=17]
[20:10] <Koaway> Amaryl comes forward, and very seriously, "Me as well, Alicia?"
[20:10] <Koaway> Donald doesn't say a word about it. Instead," Thanks," he can't quite keep the smile down, though.
06[20:10] * Alicia gives Amaryl a smile at her less demeaning attitude, bestowing her with protection against acid.
[20:10] <Alicia> roll 1d20+16
06[20:10] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+16 and gets 20." [1d20=4]
[20:11] <Koaway> OOC: d100. Brace.
[20:11] <Alicia> roll 1d100
06[20:11] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d100 and gets 28." [1d100=28]
[20:11] <Koaway> OOC: Hold on, my table lacks a 28. Let me check the maste,r I might've messed up my copy.
[20:11] <Alicia> OOC: maybe that means it works as designed?
01[20:12] <Seira> OOC: Ahahahaha
[20:12] <Koaway> OOC: Just reroll.
[20:12] <Alicia> roll 1d100 dammit
06[20:12] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d100 dammit and gets 74." [1d100=74]
[20:12] <Koaway> A flash of golden light fills the area! The wounds of the party heal! OOC: Everyone benefits from a heal spell at CL 17.
01[20:13] <Seira> "Nice work!" Seira exclaims.
[20:14] <Koaway> "Hey, I feel great now," Donald gushes, "See, now that's what your wild surges should be doing!"
06[20:14] * Alicia rolls her eyes. "That couldn't have happened before we spent all that effort on healing? Let me try again, hold still Amaryl..." she repeats the spell, saddened that it didn't fix her voice.
[20:14] <Alicia> roll 1d20+16
06[20:14] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+16 and gets 21." [1d20=5]
[20:14] <Demedais> "... Well, there's one other wild surge that worked well. Now if only that could be consistent, I could just act as a healing font while we cut our way through.
[20:14] <Koaway> OOC: Again, d100. Man.
[20:14] <Alicia> roll 1d100
06[20:14] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d100 and gets 31." [1d100=31]
[20:15] <Koaway> The spell wraps around Alicia, the protective magics embracing her instead of Amaryl! OOC: spell targets you instead.
[20:16] <Alicia> "The wild magic seems very focused here," Alicia grumbles. She was going to cast it on herself anyway, so no harm done. Still, she has to try once more...
[20:16] <Alicia> roll 1d20+16
06[20:16] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+16 and gets 30." [1d20=14]
[20:16] <Koaway> This time, Amaryl is safely enchanted as well!
[20:16] <Alicia> And lastly Seira!
[20:16] <Alicia> roll 1d20+16
06[20:16] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+16 and gets 22." [1d20=6]
[20:16] <Koaway> OOC: Man. d100.
[20:16] <Alicia> roll 1d100
06[20:16] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d100 and gets 17." [1d100=17]
[20:17] <Koaway> Instead of words, rainbow colored bubbles out of Alicia's mouth! They hover in the air, floating around her face!
06[20:18] * Alicia isn't even sure if this is an improvement, all things considered. Huffing and giving Seira an apologetic shrug, she attempts to channel the spell into Hell Striker instead. She can't cast normally if she can't speak.
[20:18] <Alicia> OOC: CL on a channelled spell?
06[20:18] * Seira gives Alicia one in return.
[20:18] <Koaway> OOC: Do you complete the spell when you channel it?
[20:19] <Alicia> OOC: No, the spell doesn't trigger till I hit something
[20:19] <Koaway> OOC: Okay.
[20:19] <Koaway> The channeling goes without incident.
06[20:19] * Alicia then delicately taps Seira's forearm with the flat of the blade.
[20:19] <Alicia> roll 1d20+16 inevitable CL?
06[20:19] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+16 inevitable CL? and gets 17." [1d20=1]
[20:20] <Alicia> roll 1d100
06[20:20] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d100 and gets 5." [1d100=5]
[20:20] <Koaway> Instead of the spell, Alicia and Hell Striker glow with radiance...more than usual, anyway.
[20:21] <Alicia> A flurry of colourful bubbles fly out of Alicia's mouth, the angelic figure looking particularly cross. Shaking her head she turns away from Seira, not willing to risk another spell at this point.
[20:21] <Koaway> The bubbles join the previously emitted ones, floating about and drifting int he air.
[20:22] <Demedais> "This is just inane." Demedais mutters. "How did they ever get any work done down here without blowing themselves up?"
06[20:22] * Alicia throws up her hands irritably with a few more bubbles escaping as she starts to resume walking in the direction they were headed originally.
[20:22] <Koaway> "You know. I always wondered why Marie would send a coure to you instead of a lantern archon. I think I know why now. This has to mean she's chaotic." Donald checks his sword and shield over, "It probably wasn't like this when they were here, I'd bet."
[20:23] <Koaway> *Mystra
[20:25] <Koaway> roll 1d100
06[20:25] * Hatbot --> "Koaway rolls 1d100 and gets 33." [1d100=33]
[20:26] <Koaway> The party begins to wander about, searching the area. It stretches long in all directions, endless tubes. Most are intact, having slimes or hellcats or some crossbreed of them inside. Yet occasionally you find broken tubes about, nothing inside of them. After about five minutes of searching, you come to a wall. Before it the tubes stop, about ten feet of open space. Against the wall are steel tables, various instruments, a bookshelf and sevearl
[20:26] <Koaway> Against the wall are steel tables, various instruments, a bookshelf and sevearl arcane diagrams engraved into the floor and wall.
06[20:27] * Seira checks to see whether there's anything there beyond a mere wall!
01[20:27] <Seira> roll 1d20+27
06[20:27] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+27 and gets 34." [1d20=7]
06[20:27] * Demedais looks around carefully for anything attempting to ambush them, not looking forward to the idea of being ambushed again.
[20:28] <Demedais> roll 1d20+31 (likely useless against invisioozecat, but)
06[20:28] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+31 (likely useless against invisioozecat, but) and gets 46." [1d20=15]
06[20:28] * Alicia keeps her blindfold on to stay alert to any invisible attackers, letting the others look around as they will.
[20:28] <Koaway> The wall doesn't seem to be trapped. The diagrams are about alteration and transmutation, mostly, as well as various abjurations to protect.
01[20:30] <Seira> "We could follow the wall to circle this room," Seira proposes.
[20:31] <Demedais> "That's an idea, yes." Demedais muses, quickly checking the books.
[20:32] <Koaway> The books look to treatises on oozes and hellcats on the lower shelves. On the upper shelves, flanked by a pair of earthenware jars engraved with the image of the God-King, are three books labeled in gnomish as 'Research Records'.
[20:33] <Demedais> "Wonder if that translates to 'Here's what we did to everything within reach'..." Demedais growls, pulling out the books. "I can look over these later. Let's keep searching."
[20:35] <Koaway> OOC: Were you guys going to follow the wall like Seira suggested?
[20:35] <Demedais> OOC: I have no better plan.
[20:35] <Alicia> OOC: sure
[20:35] <Koaway> OOC: Seira, make a spot check?
01[20:35] <Seira> roll 1d20+13
06[20:35] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+13 and gets 31." [1d20=18]
[20:36] <Koaway> The party walks about another minute. As they do, following a fairly plain, if rune enscribed wall...(More)
[20:38] <Alicia> A few bubbles escape from Alicia's mouth as she points to the right with her flaming sword, quickly moving to engage the new threat!
06[20:38] * Seira shifts as she walks, drafting outwards, before she suddenly charges the hellcat she'd seen with a cry of "Stay down already, oozecat!"
[20:39] <Koaway> OOC: Okay, you spotted it. It's watching you so it's not particularly surprised. We'll do init here then?
[20:39] <Alicia> roll 1d20+8
01[20:39] <Seira> roll 1d20+6 eventually I'll roll high
06[20:39] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+8 and gets 24." [1d20=16]
06[20:39] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+6 eventually I'll roll high and gets 16." [1d20=10]
06[20:39] * Demedais spins around at seeing Alicia's bubbles, spear readied!
[20:39] <Koaway> roll 1d20+7 Amaryl
06[20:39] * Hatbot --> "Koaway rolls 1d20+7 Amaryl and gets 14." [1d20=7]
[20:39] <Koaway> roll 1d20+7 Polly
[20:39] <Demedais> roll 1d20+2
06[20:39] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+2 and gets 19." [1d20=17]
06[20:39] * Hatbot --> "Koaway rolls 1d20+7 Polly and gets 8." [1d20=1]
03[20:39] * Koaway is now known as Kotono
[20:40] <Kotono> roll 1d20+2 Donald
06[20:40] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+2 Donald and gets 13." [1d20=11]
[20:40] <Kotono> roll 1d20+14
06[20:40] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+14 and gets 25." [1d20=11]
03[20:41] * Kotono changes topic to 'Oozecat(25)>Alicia(24)>Demedais(19)>Seira(16)>Amaryl(14)>Donald(13)>Pollyanna(8)'
03[20:42] * Kotono changes topic to 'Big Oozecat(33)>Oozecat(25)>Alicia(24)>Demedais(19)>Seira(16)>Amaryl(14)>Donald(13)>Pollyanna(8)'
[20:43] <Kotono> As the party reacts, another one comes within thirty feet, visible to Seira and Alicia! This one is bigger, standing head and shoulders above the oozecat you first saw! It bellows forth a magnificent roar of terror! OOC: Will. This is a mind effecting fear ability, so Deme's immune.
01[20:43] <Seira> roll 1d20+24
06[20:43] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+24 and gets 43." [1d20=19]
[20:43] <Alicia> roll 1d20+25 (+4 if I'm close enough to Deme)
06[20:43] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+25 (+4 if I'm close enough to Deme) and gets 36." [1d20=11]
[20:43] <Kotono> OOC: I'll assume you are, sure.
[20:43] <Kotono> roll 1d20+13 Donald
06[20:43] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+13 Donald and gets 30." [1d20=17]
[20:44] <Kotono> roll 1d20+13 Polly
06[20:44] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+13 Polly and gets 32." [1d20=19]
[20:44] <Kotono> roll 1d20+15
06[20:44] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+15 and gets 29." [1d20=14]
[20:45] <Kotono> The roar is terrifying, but none of the heroes succumb to the fear it embodies! A moment later, the first seen hellcat pounces forward onto Seira!
[20:45] <Kotono> roll 1d20+27 (+2 charge, -3 PA)
06[20:45] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+27 (+2 charge, -3 PA) and gets 39." [1d20=12]
[20:45] <Kotono> roll 1d20+27 (+2 charge, -3 PA)
06[20:45] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+27 (+2 charge, -3 PA) and gets 33." [1d20=6]
[20:45] <Kotono> roll 1d20+25 bite
06[20:45] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+25 bite and gets 38." [1d20=13]
[20:45] <Kotono> roll 1d20+27 rake
06[20:45] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+27 rake and gets 31." [1d20=4]
[20:45] <Kotono> roll 1d20+27 rake
06[20:45] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+27 rake and gets 41." [1d20=14]
[20:45] <Kotono> OOC: Flatfooted AC, Seira?
01[20:46] <Seira> OOC: 37 at the moment
[20:47] <Kotono> roll 1d8+13+2d8 (rolling seperately since I know you have stoneskin up)
06[20:47] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d8+13+2d8 (rolling seperately since I know you have stoneskin up) and gets 28." [1d8=6][2d8=1, 8]
[20:47] <Kotono> roll 2d8+13+2d8 (rolling seperately since I know you have stoneskin up)
06[20:47] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 2d8+13+2d8 (rolling seperately since I know you have stoneskin up) and gets 26." [2d8=2, 7][2d8=2, 2]
[20:47] <Kotono> roll 1d8+13+2d8
06[20:47] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d8+13+2d8 and gets 31." [1d8=4][2d8=8, 6]
[20:49] <Kotono> Seira is pounced on hard, ripped and clawed and bitten! Acid sears her after each bite, rocking her back! A moment later, another normal sized oozecat comes within thirty feet, also seen by Seira and Alicia! OOC: Alicia.
03[20:49] * Kotono changes topic to 'Big Oozecat(33)>Oozecat(25)>Oozecat 2=Alicia(24)>Demedais(19)>Seira(16)>Amaryl(14)>Donald(13)>Pollyanna(8)'
[20:50] <Alicia> Whatever battlefield wit Alicia might utter is sadly lost in a flurry of bubbles as she steps alongside Seira, whipping her blades in a vicious arc through the slimy feline molesting her!
[20:50] <Alicia> roll 1d20+27 divine might
06[20:50] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+27 divine might and gets 47." [1d20=20]
[20:50] <Alicia> roll 1d20+27 divine might
06[20:50] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+27 divine might and gets 33." [1d20=6]

[20:50] <Alicia> roll 1d20+17 divine might
06[20:50] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+17 divine might and gets 34." [1d20=17]
[20:50] <Kotono> OOC: All but the 21 hit.
[20:50] <Alicia> roll 5d8+105+10d6+5d6+5d6
06[20:50] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 5d8+105+10d6+5d6+5d6 and gets 188." [5d8=1, 6, 4, 4, 3][10d6=2, 2, 3, 1, 6, 3, 6, 1, 4, 4][5d6=4, 3, 3, 2, 3][5d6=3, 4, 4, 3, 4]

[20:51] <Kotono> Alicia steps forward, ripping that big cat apart! It falls apart into a puddle of slimy acid that vanishes away! As they do, another normal cat appears at the other flank of the large hellcat!
03[20:51] * Kotono changes topic to 'Big Oozecat(33)>Oozecat 2=Alicia(24)>Oozecat3(20)>Demedais(19)>Seira(16)>Amaryl(14)>Donald(13)>Pollyanna(8)'
[20:51] <Kotono> OOC: Deme.
[20:53] <Demedais> "I'm going to presume that the cat that roared was- ...Uh, sorry, but ahahaha hell no, ooze cats." Demedais growls in response, muttering a quick prayer to Helm as the protection devotion goes up! "Location?"
01[20:54] <Seira> "Follow my angry stabbings?" Seira snaps, glaring at the large cat.
[20:54] <Alicia> A few bubbles come out of Alicia's mouth as she points her fiery blade in the direction all the cats are gathering around the large one.
06[20:54] * Demedais nods slightly to Seira, holding! OOC: Waiting on Seira.
[20:56] <Kotono> As they do, a fourth cat appears just behind the large hellcat!
03[20:57] * Kotono changes topic to 'Big Oozecat(33)>Oozecat 2=Alicia(24)>Oozecat3(20)>Demedais(19)>Oozecat 4(18)>Seira(16)>Amaryl(14)>Donald(13)>Pollyanna(8)'
[20:57] <Kotono> OOC: SEira.
06[20:57] * Seira tries to summon a nasty wave of fiery death, sending Lagann on its tails to strike at the largest of the devils. For her part, she'd approach as well and breathe a cone of utter coldness on the whole damned group!
01[20:57] <Seira> OOC: Cone of fire, cl?
[20:58] <Kotono> OOC: Yes.
01[20:58] <Seira> roll 1d20+17
06[20:58] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+17 and gets 19." [1d20=2]
01[20:58] <Seira> roll 1d100
06[20:58] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d100 and gets 66." [1d100=66]
[20:59] <Kotono> Instead of a cone of fire, a lightning bolt crackles out towards the largest hellcat!
[20:59] <Kotono> roll 1d20+29 ref
06[20:59] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+29 ref and gets 33." [1d20=4]
[20:59] <Kotono> OOC: Roll normal lightning bolt damage, 10d6?
01[20:59] <Seira> roll 10d6 alas, dc26
06[20:59] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 10d6 alas, dc26 and gets 36." [10d6=5, 3, 4, 1, 5, 4, 5, 1, 6, 2]
01[21:00] <Seira> OOC: CL on the breath, too?
01[21:00] <Seira> OOC: Its range is 15ft, I want to cover all the four cats without getting bitten. Doable?
[21:00] <Kotono> OOC: You're using your breath weapon as well? That's an Ex or Su, I believe?
01[21:00] <Seira> OOC: Using the spell, so it's a spell
[21:00] <Kotono> The large one flows apart and together in the air like a dream, avoiding the worst of the lightning botl as it crackles away!
[21:00] <Kotono> OOC: CL theny es.
01[21:00] <Seira> roll 1d20+16
06[21:00] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+16 and gets 33." [1d20=17]
01[21:01] <Seira> roll 8d8+2d8 cold+holy, dc24
06[21:01] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 8d8+2d8 cold+holy, dc24 and gets 56." [8d8=2, 4, 4, 8, 8, 8, 6, 7][2d8=6, 3]

06[21:02] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+22 4 and gets 24." [1d20=2]
[21:03] <Kotono> Breath and magic ripple amid the cats, but most of them are able to avoid the worst of it with speed! Meanwhile Amaryl falls back against the wall, firing off four shots against where Seira breathed, hopeful!
[21:03] <Kotono> roll 1d20+18
[21:03] <Kotono> roll 1d20+18

06[21:04] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 3d8+12 and gets 29." [3d8=5, 4, 8]
[21:04] <Kotono> Seira can see the big one take arrows, but they don't penetrate into it's skin at all, bouncing off harmlessly! OOC: Donald.
01[21:04] <Seira> OOC: Deme, surely
[21:04] <Kotono> OOC: Er Deme yes, if he wants to go.
[21:05] <Demedais> OOC: Yes please.
01[21:05] <Seira> "Arrows don't seem to do much damage!" Seira calls over her shoulder.
[21:07] <Demedais> Demedais mutters wordlessly, dropping his spear to the side and pulling out his sword as he advances in front of Alicia and Seira. "It's worth a shot... maybe it'll disrupt them or something. How far away?" he asks Seira as he passes.
01[21:08] <Seira> OOC: Lagann should so be there stabbing it to show Deme the way
[21:08] <Demedais> OOC: Right, then strike.
[21:09] <Kotono> roll 1d20+8
06[21:09] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+8 and gets 22." [1d20=14]
[21:09] <Demedais> Demedais mutters wordlessly, dropping his spear to the side and pulling out his sword as he advances in front of Alicia and Seira. "It's worth a shot... maybe it'll disrupt them or something." With that, Demedais gestures up a wall of water!
[21:09] <Kotono> Lagann strikes in the airmeanwhile 30 feet ahead, but hits nothing! OOC: Carry on.
[21:09] <Kotono> OOC: How far ahead?
[21:10] <Demedais> OOC: About two feet in front of Lagann's stabby knife, perpindicular to that.
[21:11] <Kotono> OOC: Basically to shield the party from the 'cats?
[21:11] <Kotono> OOC: ANd yeah, CL check.
[21:11] <Kotono> OOC: Uses your HD as CL since it's an SLA, remembe.r
[21:12] <Demedais> OOC: Well, I figured that whatever Lagann's stabbing will still be partially visible and thus targetable by the rest of the team. The rest of the cats Deme doesn't know about, so.
[21:12] <Demedais> roll 1d20+17 kay
06[21:12] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+17 kay and gets 26." [1d20=9]

[21:13] <Kotono> The wall of boiling water manifests! It hisses and steams, a barrier between the party and the hellcats! They don't seem terribly put out by the fire at all, from what Alicia and Seira can see! OOC: Donald.
[21:14] <Kotono> "Oh, not again!" He groans, "Mystra, Waukeen, Lathander, all of you, please! Please don't let this spell get messed up!" With that, Donald calls on the names to see the unseen!
[21:14] <Kotono> roll 1d20+12
06[21:14] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+12 and gets 15." [1d20=3]

[21:14] <Kotono> roll 1d100
06[21:14] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d100 and gets 12." [1d100=12]
[21:14] <Demedais> "Damn. Well, that's why I pulled out the sword." Demedais mutters.
[21:14] <Kotono> roll 1d3
06[21:14] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d3 and gets 1." [1d3=1]
[21:15] <Kotono> Donald's head grows! It grows to triple it's size, helmet and all! It's like a giant inflated balloon attached to his neck! OOC: Polly.
[21:15] <Kotono> Pollyanna falls back as well, hissing. "Should I fire?" she asks quickly.
01[21:15] <Seira> "Fire five feet to the left of Lagann!" Seira calls back, directing the archer towards a weaker-seeming hellcat.
[21:15] <Kotono> At that, Pollyanna fires!
[21:16] <Kotono> roll 1d20+22
[21:16] <Kotono> roll 1d20+22
06[21:16] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+22 and gets 31." [1d20=9]

[21:17] <Kotono> With all her firing, Pollyanna doesn't hit anything even once! As arrows rain down, the big Hellcat surges through the wall!

06[21:17] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 2d6+17 and gets 21." [2d6=1, 3]

[19:13] <Cute_Rabite_Kokokokoko> <Alicia> roll 1d8+24+2d6+1d6+1d6
[19:13] <Cute_Rabite_Kokokokoko> * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d8+24+2d6+1d6+1d6 and gets 45." [1d8=6][2d6=4, 3][1d6=5][1d6=3]
[19:13] <Cute_Rabite_Kokokokoko> > Alicia slashes it's back leg halway out, but not enough to stop it from retreating! The fourth Oozecat does the same, fleeing back and away into the collection of glass tubeS! OOC: The enemies have fled. You can free act for the moment. If you catch up or get to them again we'll redo init.
[19:13] <Cute_Rabite_Kokokokoko> * Seira charges after the wounded hellcat!
03[19:13] * Cute_Rabite_Kokokokoko is now known as Kotono
03[19:13] * torodachi is now known as Demedais
[19:14] <Alicia> A bubble comes out of Alicia's mouth before she quickly flies after the half-dragon, not wanting her to get caught in an ambush. Of course it does mean leaving the others behind, but hopefully the four of them can take care of themselves...
[19:15] <Kotono> Donald curses again, once more trying to invoke See Invisibility! Meanwhile, Amaryl catches her breath. Pollyanna goes up to Demedais, "Are we following?"
[19:15] <Kotono> roll 1d20+12
06[19:15] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+12 and gets 14." [1d20=2]
[19:15] <Kotono> roll 1d100
06[19:15] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d100 and gets 56." [1d100=56]
06[19:17] * Demedais grunts. "I'm not sure we have a choice, though I can't exactly move that fast. Everyone, let's see if we can catch up? I'll keep sight of them presuming they don't turn too much.
[19:17] <Kotono> As the four mobilize and Donald lets out a cry of triumph, Alicia and Seira zoom ahead! OOC: Make spot checks, you two.
[19:18] <Alicia> OOC: I see everything within 30 feet, nothing at all past that
01[19:19] <Seira> roll 1d20+13
06[19:19] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+13 and gets 15." [1d20=2]
[19:19] <Kotono> OOC: Okay Alicia.
[19:19] <Kotono> The two soar above the glass containers, searching about! While Seira doesn't spot anything, Alicia detects the cat with her blindsight. It's hiding between two close together tubes 15 feet away, well hidden but not well hidden enough.
[19:19] <Alicia> OOC: Hell Striker sees further, though, and is free to warn me if it spots any evil creatures
06[19:20] * Alicia emits a single colourful bubble before she charges at the hiding feline!
[19:20] <Alicia> OOC: attack or init?
01[19:20] <Seira> That's certainly enough to get Seira's attention!
[19:21] <Kotono> OOC: We'll do init. Your'e glowy and not particularly hiding, if nothing else. Deme, I'll have you and the rest roll if this lsats more than a round or two.
01[19:22] <Seira> roll 1d20+3
06[19:22] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+3 and gets 17." [1d20=14]
[19:22] <Alicia> roll 1d20+8
06[19:22] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+8 and gets 25." [1d20=17]
[19:22] <Kotono> roll 1d20+14
06[19:22] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+14 and gets 21." [1d20=7]
03[19:22] * Kotono changes topic to 'Alicia>Oozecat>Seira'
[19:22] <Kotono> OOC: Go Alicia.
06[19:23] * Alicia flies above the cat and stabs downwards with her buzzing and flaming blade into its neck!
[19:23] <Alicia> roll 1d20+24 -5pa
06[19:23] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+24 -5pa and gets 25." [1d20=1]
[19:24] <Kotono> Alicia charges at the cat, stabbing downward at it! However, her strike is too early, hitting the air above it in a show of mistiming! IN retort, the wounded cat roars, returning the attack on Alicia!
[19:24] <Kotono> roll 1d20+28 claw
[19:24] <Kotono> roll 1d20+28 claw
06[19:24] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+28 claw and gets 37." [1d20=9]
06[19:24] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+28 claw and gets 45." [1d20=17]
[19:25] <Kotono> roll 1d20+26 bite
06[19:25] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+26 bite and gets 45." [1d20=19]
[19:25] <Kotono> OOC: AC?
[19:25] <Alicia> OOC: AC 35
[19:25] <Kotono> OOC: You have acid res up?
[19:25] <Alicia> OOC: 30 of it, yes
[19:26] <Kotono> roll 1d8+10+1d8+10+2d8+10 and it's time for a grapple check. This one is wounded and pissed enough to meet you up close and personal.
06[19:26] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d8+10+1d8+10+2d8+10 and it's time for a grapple check. This one is wounded and pissed enough to meet you up close and personal. and gets 40." [1d8=2][1d8=3][2d8=4, 1]
[19:26] <Kotono> OOC: DR applies to each.
[19:26] <Kotono> roll 1d20+32
06[19:27] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+32 and gets 41." [1d20=9]
[19:27] <Alicia> roll 1d20+34
06[19:27] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+34 and gets 46." [1d20=12]
[19:27] <Kotono> Alicia is torn and ripped, a bite into her leg! But with strength, she reaches down and rips it's jaws off her leg, preventing it from dragging her down to him! OOC: Seira.
[19:28] <Kotono> OOC: Seira, it's attakcing and you have see invis, so you can see it now.
06[19:28] * Seira circles the oozecat, before bringing the Resort down in a single, powerful swipe!
01[19:28] <Seira> roll 1d20+24 (flight, flanking) smite
06[19:28] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+24 (flight, flanking) smite and gets 28." [1d20=4]
[19:29] <Kotono> OOC: Hit.
01[19:29] <Seira> roll 3d8+9+6d8+2d8 at last!
06[19:29] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 3d8+9+6d8+2d8 at last! and gets 53." [3d8=1, 1, 6][6d8=1, 4, 5, 8, 2, 8][2d8=6, 2]
[19:30] <Kotono> Seira plunges down, her blade cutting into the spine of the oozing cat! As acid drips down and away from it, it's body is critically torn! But it's not down yet! OOC: Alicia, you're up.
[19:31] <Alicia> An invective is lost amidst fluttering bubbles as Alicia slices downwards at the grasping cat, a flurry of hits to rend it asunder!
[19:31] <Alicia> roll 1d20+30 flying/flanking
06[19:31] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+30 flying/flanking and gets 35." [1d20=5]
[19:31] <Alicia> roll 1d20+30 flying/flanking
06[19:31] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+30 flying/flanking and gets 47." [1d20=17]
[19:31] <Alicia> roll 1d20+25 flying/flanking
06[19:31] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+25 flying/flanking and gets 43." [1d20=18]
[19:31] <Alicia> roll 1d20+25 flying/flanking
06[19:31] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+25 flying/flanking and gets 32." [1d20=7]
[19:31] <Alicia> roll 1d20+20 flying/flanking
06[19:31] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+20 flying/flanking and gets 23." [1d20=3]
[19:31] <Alicia> roll 1d20+20 flying/flanking
06[19:31] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+20 flying/flanking and gets 34." [1d20=14]
[19:32] <Kotono> OOC: Everything but the 23 hit. It's pretty much dead, it was on critical anyway. Roll up damage if you want.
[19:32] <Alicia> roll 5d8+65+10d6+5d6+5d6
06[19:32] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 5d8+65+10d6+5d6+5d6 and gets 170." [5d8=4, 8, 7, 7, 3][10d6=5, 1, 3, 1, 4, 3, 4, 6, 5, 1][5d6=2, 3, 6, 6, 6][5d6=5, 3, 3, 4, 5]
[19:33] <Kotono> Catching the cat up close and personal, Alicia continues what Seira started, ripping it's spine apart and sending it to be a puddle of hissing goo ont he ground! Meanwhile, the rest of the party hurries along, catching up. OOC: Free act.
01[19:33] <Seira> "Not bad for prey," Seira mutters. "So, I'm thinking, the rest are easy pickings, now, so we can continue the tour of the room?"
06[19:34] * Alicia lifts up her blindfold a moment and looks around to see if she can see the rest of the group. Seeing them coming over, she replaces the blindfold and gives Seira a vexed shrug.
[19:35] <Demedais> "Right." Demedais grumbles as they catch up. "So... what do we want to do here? Continue on? You're looking rather injured, Seira."
06[19:36] * Seira nods. "Yes and yes."
06[19:37] * Demedais pulls out two potions. "I don't trust that cat. Drink these, they'll help." OOC: CSW/CMW.
06[19:37] * Alicia reaches out to Seira but doesn't touch her, hoping she gets the hint that Alicia could use her healing spell and will respond with whether she wants it or not. Given her recent luck she doesn't want to attempt casting unless it's absolutely necessary.
01[19:38] <Seira> roll 3d8+5
06[19:38] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 3d8+5 and gets 22." [3d8=5, 5, 7]
01[19:39] <Seira> "I should be fine," Seira responds after one potion dose.
06[19:39] * Alicia nods and retracts her hand.
[19:40] <Demedais> "Keep the other, just in case." Demedais notes, still nodding. "Alright. We hunting the big one down, or just searching the room some more?"
[19:41] <Alicia> Surely one leads to the other. But, unable to meaningfully contribute to any discussion, Alicia merely settles for shrugging.
06[19:42] * Demedais nods to Alicia, then, "Let's go, then. Alicia, Seira, you two can see invisible; Donald, can you? If you can, assist Alicia and Seira in spotting for it. I'll keep an eye out for mundane objects of note."
[19:45] <Kotono> "I can now," Donald asserts. "Let's go?"
06[19:45] * Seira reconsiders, and tries using a healing spell upon herself after all.
01[19:45] <Seira> roll 1d20+17 csw
06[19:45] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+17 csw and gets 30." [1d20=13]
[19:45] <Kotono> OOC: Success.
01[19:45] <Seira> roll 3d8+15
06[19:45] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 3d8+15 and gets 31." [3d8=8, 6, 2]
[19:45] <Kotono> OOC: Circling the wall still or?
01[19:45] <Seira> OOC: Yes
[19:46] <Kotono> Thus the party continues to circle. About five minutes pass until you come to an alcove in the wall. It's sunken in 5 feet or so, an iron barred door.
[19:49] <Demedais> "Shall we? Seems like the most obvious departure point thus far." Demedais shrugs.
06[19:51] * Alicia mutely nods her assent.
01[19:52] <Seira> roll 1d20+27 traps!
06[19:52] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+27 traps! and gets 47." [1d20=20]
[19:54] <Kotono> Amaryl peers at the door, a simple and undecorated affair. "It doesn't look overtly dangerous, but neither did that gas trap." Meanwhile, Seira finds out that the door is not trapped but it is sealed. It seems to be far more complex than the average trap. It has four release mechanisms. Your token seems to be undoing one of them. The second Seira thinks she can undo - it's mostly mechanical, routing to an access tunnel in the wall. It's hidden
[19:55] <Kotono> The second Seira thinks she can undo - it's mostly mechanical, routing to an access tunnel in the wall. It's hidden nearby, a false wall panel. The tunnel is small, which would require her to crawl. The other two are entirely magical, she might be able to undo them, but only if she gets the tunnel trap first.
01[19:56] <Seira> "Yeah, it's locked pretty well. My first instinct would be to leave it for later, but let me try it anyway first?"
06[19:56] * Alicia nods her agreement to this plan.
[19:57] <Kotono> "Be careful," Amaryl pats Seira's arm, "This place is so dangerous."
[19:57] <Demedais> "Alright." Demedais nods.
01[19:57] <Seira> "I'll be fine!" Seira tells Amaryl with a grin, even as she gets the false wall panel and takes a look into the tunnel it leads through.
[19:58] <Kotono> Putting the panel aside, Seira crawls in! The tunnel is made of smooth steel, going down ten feet. The eway is dotted with occasional slits in the tunnel at all angles. At the end is a clockwork device, built into the back of the wall.
06[19:59] * Seira takes a moment to study the device.
01[19:59] <Seira> roll 1d20+27 search?
06[19:59] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+27 search? and gets 33." [1d20=6]
[19:59] <Kotono> "Hope so," Donald stretches back as he keeps hie eyes moving. "So if that cat fell back, that means there's something here it doesn't want to give up? Since otherwise it would just reappear in Hell?"
01[20:00] <Seira> "Do oozecats go to hell?" Seira muses in response, her voice tinny at it comes through the short tunnel.
[20:01] <Demedais> "The big one told me I'd burn forever, so maybe?"
[20:01] <Kotono> Seira finds that the box is not trapped. However, in the various slits in the wall are serrated, sawlike circular blades. They look quite sharp and barbed, even after all this time.
[20:01] <Kotono> OOC: Strike, mislined.
[20:01] <Alicia> "It doesn't want to become a lemure," Alicia suggests cutely, before her eyes widen (unseen behind her blindfold) and she claps a hand over her mouth. "I can talk!" she exclaims happily. "Although I sound like an idiot..."
[20:02] <Demedais> "Better than bubbleworks." Demedais comments.
[20:02] <Kotono> Seira finds that the box is trapped. However, in the various slits in the wall are serrated, sawlike circular blades. They look quite sharp and barbed, even after all this time. Any mistake here while bypassing the seal will be...bloody.
06[20:02] * Alicia nods in agreement to that.
[20:02] <Kotono> "It's kinda cute," With a lopsided grin to Alicia, "Try singing like that?"
[20:03] <Kotono> Pollyanna can't help but smile as she speaks, "It really is."
01[20:03] <Seira> 'Lagann,' Seira thinks to her partner, 'Do you think you could reshape the saws into something that wouldn't pass through the slits? And wouldn't be as painful if it did?'
06[20:04] * Alicia would glare at them, but her eyes are covered as well. "I sound like I'm nine," she mutters.
06[20:04] * Seira smiles to herself, and asks Lagann to give it a try.
[20:05] <Kotono> "One two, buckle my shoe. Three four, shut the door," Donald murmurs as he grins to Alicia. "Come on. We're facing down possible death every ten minutes. Why not live a little in between?"
[20:05] <Kotono> roll 1d20+8
06[20:05] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+8 and gets 18." [1d20=10]
[20:05] <Kotono> In the slits, Seira can see the serrated blades twist and dull under Lagann's influence!
06[20:06] * Seira figures this is the perfect time to try and disable the trap!
01[20:06] <Seira> roll 1d20+26 DD
06[20:06] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+26 DD and gets 39." [1d20=13]
[20:06] <Alicia> "Considering what the wild magic has done to you, you should be the last one to find amusement from it," Alicia tells the bigheaded elf.
[20:07] <Kotono> Seira fiddles! She works hard, sweat trickling down her face in the tunnel! Every move has to be perfect...no mistakes...with an exhaled breath, Seira succeeds! The mechanical lock is disengaged.
06[20:07] * Seira happily retreats to study the main lock some more!
[20:07] <Kotono> Donald just shrugs. "There's not much amusing I can do with a giant head."
01[20:07] <Seira> "Just be yourself," she tells Donald in passing.
[20:09] <Kotono> The final two locks are intracate magical seals. Any failure will result in various magics triggering. These traps are highly formidable, Seira can tell. The kicker? If much time passes between one of the two being disabled and the other isn't, it automatically trips it's effects. Seira might have one or two attempts to get it right after disabling the first one.
[20:09] <Kotono> "I wonder what's behind that door?" Amaryl goes up to Seira as she looks over the magical seals, "A treasure? Magic? Something that shouldn't be seen?"
06[20:09] * Seira considers the consequences of using dispel magic on either.
01[20:10] <Seira> "The latter, possibly," Seira responds. "Since the tokens we have help towards dispelling the ward, but don't eliminate it altogether."
[20:10] <Kotono> Seira thinks if it worked, the other would need to be disabled right away as well.
01[20:11] <Seira> "Okay," she says at last. "We'll either use luck and try to bypass the other two locks quickly, or just try to revoke the magic here altogether. It should be safe since the mechanical locks have been disabled."
06[20:11] * Alicia eyes the door at that, gauging the strength of the magic on it.
[20:14] <Demedais> "Mmm. There are two other options. Either Alicia supresses them as we open the door, or we go check the rest of the building for anything else that might let us disable them like the tokens?" Demedais shrugs. "Granted, not sure we want to cast magic here, given that this place seems to be more unstable based on Alicia's magic. Still, it might be an idea for later when we can afford the risk."
[20:14] <Alicia> "The magic is very strong, dispelling it would likely take a while," Alicia admits childishly. "Simply negating it is probably our best bet, and what's behind there might help us deal with the creatures here." At that she lifts up her blindfold and goes to stand next to the door. "In Mystra's name, I becalm the Weave!"
[20:14] <Alicia> OOC: CL on antimagic field?
[20:15] <Kotono> OOC: Yes.
[20:15] <Alicia> roll 1d20+16
06[20:15] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+16 and gets 26." [1d20=10]
[20:15] <Kotono> OOC: Success.
[20:15] <Kotono> Alicia casts antimagic aura! The magic around the door is suppressed.
06[20:15] * Seira tries to use the chance to open it!
06[20:15] * Alicia stops glowing and experimentally tries, "Do re mi fa so," to see if her voice is fixed.
[20:15] <Demedais> "That works." Demedais shrugs.
[20:16] <Kotono> Her voice is normal right now.
06[20:16] * Alicia smiles. "At least I know I should be able to fix my voice once this is all over."
06[20:17] * Demedais nods at this. "Perhaps, like the bubbles, it isn't permanent."
01[20:17] <Seira> "Most things fade away. Donald's head would return to normal, too!"
06[20:17] * Seira considers. "Well, maybe. It is his head."
06[20:18] * Demedais refrains from commenting for now.
[20:18] <Kotono> Donald refrains from comment. "Going to open the door?"
[20:23] <Kotono> Seira opens the door! Ahead lies a room perhaps fifty feet long. It is covered with runes and magical wards, all written in red, crimson and still burning, seemingly living fire. Against the back wall is a shimmering field of force. In the field, chained to the wall with ethereal bonds of silver and cold iron, is a wraith. This wraith is streaked with white and cold. Every second or two ice gushes out, pushing past the sphere! Yet the wards an
[20:23] <Kotono> pushing past the sphere! Yet the wards and magics past it burn hot, pushing the ice back! This repeats every second, as if holding off winter's direst advance.
[20:23] <Alicia> roll 1d20+13 religion, what's that?
06[20:23] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+13 religion, what's that? and gets 31." [1d20=18]
06[20:24] * Seira blinks. "Didn't expect that one."
06[20:24] * Demedais eyes it, also trying to gauge its identity.
[20:24] <Demedais> roll 1d20+15 also K:R
06[20:24] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+15 also K:R and gets 22." [1d20=7]
[20:24] <Kotono> roll 1d20+18 Donald'll hlep
06[20:24] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+18 Donald'll hlep and gets 25." [1d20=7]
[20:25] <Demedais> "...No clue." Demedais shrugs.
06[20:25] * Alicia just shakes her head. "It looks a bit like a wraith, but... it's something different, and I've no idea what," she admits.
[20:25] <Kotono> roll 1d20+11 Polly's been takin glevels too
06[20:25] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+11 Polly's been takin glevels too and gets 14." [1d20=3]
01[20:25] <Seira> roll 1d20+14 how can I resist?
06[20:25] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+14 how can I resist? and gets 19." [1d20=5]
[20:25] <Kotono> "I've seen wraiths, but never anything lik ethat," Pollyanna agrees. "I'm stumped."
06[20:26] * Seira prepares to reset the door, even as she calls out, "So what are you?"
[20:26] <Alicia> "It seems securely bound. Perhaps we should leave it for now - we might find out what it is elsewhere in the ruins," Alicia suggests.
06[20:26] * Demedais pauses, before quickly pulling out the last of the three books and leafing through it to see if he can find a reference to this with a quick glance.
[20:29] <Kotono> Most of the book look sto be about studies and observations about how the cross-breeding project was going. A few things catch Deme's eye 'the success of the corruption devils noted...' 'Once merged, it may be possible to bestow or retain intellect, as seen in Subject 392...' and the like. Near the end, one entry does catch his eye. It talks about expanding it with a third subject. It is called a 'Winterwight'. If it's 'blightfire' can be trans
[20:29] <Kotono> It talks about expanding it with a third subject. It is called a 'Winterwight'. If it's 'blightfire' can be transfered, the power added would be immense. Be it in t his project or starting a new one, the prospects are good either way.
[20:30] <Demedais> "... Winterwight?" Demedais frowns. "Also, you guys, a warning. Apparently they worked with corruption devils. But back to this... It's what they called a 'winterwight'; sounds like they were trying to give its 'blightfire' ability to the oozecats."
[20:31] <Demedais> "Either that or the prospective guardian golem, but it reads a bit more as if it pertains to the oozecats."
01[20:31] <Seira> "Right. It's evil and bound, and it's not responding. Let's follow Alicia's suggestion, lock this place up and try to kill the rest of the evil cats."
[20:31] <Alicia> "I don't know what Blightfire is, but it sounds bad," Alicia opines. "Still, I'm guessing they never succeeded. Lets leave it alone for now? We can come back when we're better prepared to fight a cold-themed undead."
[20:32] <Demedais> "Agreed."
06[20:32] * Seira manipulates the door to close, at that, locking it.
[20:32] <Kotono> Seira does so without incident.
06[20:33] * Alicia then ceases her antimagic field and pulls her blindfold back down. "So we resume our search for now?" she asks in her damnably cutesy voice.
[20:33] <Demedais> "Let's, yes." Demedais nods.
06[20:34] * Seira checks whether the magical traps have reset, and once she can confirm that is more than willing to proceed.
[20:41] <Kotono> The traps have reset now that Alicia's antimagic field is gone.
06[20:42] * Seira decides to stick near the rear, along with Amaryl, while sending Donald ahead with Alicia. That should allow them to catch any invisible cats before they attack.
[20:42] <Kotono> The party continues to walk. As they do...OOC: Make spot checks, Seira and Donald? Deme, make a spot check as well?
01[20:42] <Seira> roll 1d20+13
06[20:42] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+13 and gets 33." [1d20=20]
[20:43] <Kotono> roll 1d20+1 Donald
06[20:43] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+1 Donald and gets 14." [1d20=13]
[20:43] <Demedais> roll 1d20+31 kay
06[20:43] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+31 kay and gets 45." [1d20=14]
[20:44] <Kotono> The party walks along, slowly moving along in a circle. It's quiet for now, ten minutes of walking passing. You're getting close to looping back around by the curvature of the wall. Demedais hasn't seen anything unusual and Donald has been silent. (More)
01[20:45] <Seira> "Slime cube, dead ahead!" Seira exclaims, pointing with her sword. "Twenty feet over there!"
[20:46] <Demedais> "There's a- what Seira said." Demedais says, spear immediately ready.
06[20:47] * Alicia flaps her wings to take off and fly above the height of a slime cube, moving in the direction indicated!
[20:48] <Kotono> "Ah damn, at least we spotted it," Donald readies! The cube doesn't seem to be moving. OOC: You guys can act for the moment, it's not mkaing any offensive gestures.
01[20:49] <Seira> "I'll try using fire, then we'll strike?" Seira suggests.
[20:49] <Demedais> "That's odd. It's not moving, is it?" Demedais muses. "The oozecats are telepathic... Is this some form of trap?"
06[20:50] * Demedais shrugs. "Keep everyone twenty-five feet away except Alicia, but sure. That'd probably be best."
01[20:50] <Seira> roll 1d20+17 SP fireball
06[20:51] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+17 SP fireball and gets 19." [1d20=2]
01[20:52] <Seira> roll 1d100
06[20:52] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d100 and gets 81." [1d100=81]
[20:53] <Kotono> The bottom of the slime grows! It's bottom 1/6th or so is now ten feet wide and longerthan the rest. As if ths lime was resting on a bed of slime.
[20:53] <Demedais> "...Seira, stop helping the slime."
[20:53] <Kotono> The slime continues not to move.
[20:53] <Kotono> "That was...queer," Amaryl mutters. "It's like you spread out the bottom like jam."
[20:54] <Alicia> "I'll just hack it apart from above," Alicia offers as she flies over to position herself above it, preparing to full attack...
06[20:54] * Seira rolls her eyes and shoots it.
01[20:54] <Seira> roll 1d20+5 (10pa)
06[20:54] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+5 (10pa) and gets 6." [1d20=1]
01[20:54] <Seira> roll 1d20 (10pa)
06[20:55] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20 (10pa) and gets 18." [1d20=18]
[20:55] <Kotono> OOC: One hit.
01[20:55] <Seira> OOC: +1, actually, but....
01[20:55] <Seira> roll 1d8+21
06[20:55] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d8+21 and gets 25." [1d8=4]
[20:55] <Alicia> "Seira, stop! It's intelligent!" Alicia calls as the arrows leave Seira's bow.
01[20:56] <Seira> "It's what?" Seira exclaims, as the warning comes too late.
[20:56] <Kotono> The arrow flies, slamming into the slime's body! It ripples through, hissing with acid!
[20:56] <Kotono> OOC: Init here.
[20:56] <Alicia> roll 1d20+7
06[20:56] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+7 and gets 10." [1d20=3]
[20:56] <Demedais> "Oh." Demedais grimaces, seeming to stand back up. "Well. Uh... damnit. Sorry?"
[20:56] <Demedais> roll 1d20+1
06[20:56] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+1 and gets 19." [1d20=18]
[20:57] <Kotono> roll 1d20+7 Amaryl
06[20:57] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+7 Amaryl and gets 26." [1d20=19]
[20:57] <Kotono> roll 1d20+7 Polly
06[20:57] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+7 Polly and gets 22." [1d20=15]
[20:57] <Kotono> roll 1d20+2 Donald
06[20:57] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+2 Donald and gets 13." [1d20=11]
[20:57] <Kotono> roll 1d20-8
06[20:57] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20-8 and gets 11." [1d20=19]
01[20:57] <Seira> roll 1d20+3
06[20:57] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+3 and gets 13." [1d20=10]
03[20:57] * Kotono changes topic to 'Amaryl>Pollyanna>Demedais>Donald=Seira>Ooze>Alicia'
[20:57] <Kotono> "Seira?"A maryl asks, "Fire?"
01[20:58] <Seira> "Ah, hell. Alicia, is it a good slime?"
[20:58] <Demedais> "Uh, Alicia, can you talk to it, then?" Demedais grunts. "If it wants healing, I can try to provide it."
[20:59] <Kotono> Amaryl and Pollyanna hold for the moment then, waiting. OOC: Deme?
06[21:00] * Demedais holds as well, watching the slime carefully.
[21:00] <Kotono> Donald holds, "An intelli-nevermind," Donald just shakes his head.
[21:01] <Demedais> "Call it gut, but we chose to leave a sentient crystal alive in the previous ruin. That decision, for the most part, worked out just fine." Demedais shakes his head.
01[21:01] <Seira> "It wasn't hiding invisible like this!"
[21:01] <Kotono> Seira waits and holds as well! The ooze advances forward ten feet in the meanwhile! OOC: Alicia.
[21:02] <Kotono> roll 1d3
06[21:02] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d3 and gets 2." [1d3=2]
06[21:02] * Alicia floats along just above the cube, concentrating...
[21:03] <Demedais> "It wasn't, no, but I'm not sure we can blame it for the actions of the gnomes. We've fought in self defense from the ones that attacked us, and that's what motivated our instincts toward aggression here; regardless, if we can deal peacably here, I'd rather do that."
01[21:04] <Seira> "You don't see me shooting it now, do you?"
[21:04] <Alicia> roll 1d20+32 (+2 if it's good)
[21:04] <Alicia> OOC: another +2 from heroism
06[21:05] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+32 (+2 if it's good) and gets 52." [1d20=20]
03[21:05] * Rei-chan (Rei-chan@user-54405835.wfd77b.dsl.pol.co.uk) has joined #dunes
02[21:05] * Rei-chan (Rei-chan@user-54405835.wfd77b.dsl.pol.co.uk) Quit (nevermind!)
[21:05] <Demedais> "I know, I know, Seira. I'm just thinking this through out loud." Demedais shakes his head.
[21:07] <Kotono> The slime doesn't seem to be immediately advancing further.
[21:07] <Alicia> "I've got it talking, hold on," Alicia tells the others as she focuses on mental dialogue.
06[21:08] * Demedais muses, before nodding slightly and stepping forward a bit in a show of trust, nodding up to Alicia as she communicates with it.
06[21:08] * Seira tries to wrap her mind around the concept of intelligent, gnome-made good slime.
[21:09] <Kotono> "You know, this place continues to be bizzare," Donald observes to no one in particular.
01[21:10] <Seira> "Yes, it never really stopped."
[21:10] <Kotono> "I'm just surprised it doesn't have wings and green scales," Amaryl murmurs with a hot blush.
[21:10] <Demedais> "It could be worse, we could be dealing with teleporting cyclopean vampire horses."
[21:10] <Kotono> "And when did you fight THOSE, Demedais?" Pollyanna glares at him.
[21:11] <Demedais> "We haven't, yet. Hopefully we never do."
[21:11] <Demedais> "But vampires in general sound like a worse bet than this place thus far, aside from the oozecats. And even that's not so competitive."
[21:12] <Kotono> "Oh good." With a cross of her arms as she levelly looks the paladin over, "This is really bad enough."
06[21:13] * Alicia lazily flaps her wings as she hovers above the slime, intent on her inner dialogue...
[21:14] <Demedais> "It is, in many regards. And yet a part of me keeps bringing up the fact that, in some ways, this is a vacation."
01[21:15] <Seira> "It so isn't."
06[21:15] * Seira frowns. "A vacation is where you go exotic places and when you fight horrible things there, you weren't expecting it from the start!"
[21:17] <Demedais> "So the mansion was a relative vacation, but this isn't?"
01[21:18] <Seira> "Mansion?"
[21:18] <Demedais> "The one with the abombination against existence."
01[21:18] <Seira> "Which one?"
[21:19] <Demedais> "Which abombination? All of them. But mainly the crazy woman who thought I was her brother, and the anti-existence horror she had in her."
01[21:20] <Seira> "Oh!" Seira considers. "No, it wasn't really a vacation. We knew exactly what we were going after, or we thought so, at least."
[21:21] <Demedais> "Yes, but what we got was something a lot more horrible than what we expected. Thusly, a relative vacation."
01[21:21] <Seira> "No, you're doing it wrong."
[21:22] <Demedais> "Oh? Sorry, but I can't always track which definition you're using.
[21:22] <Kotono> "Anything, Alicia?" Donald calls.
[21:23] <Kotono> "Isn't this a silly argument?" Pollyanna looks cross at all of them, "If you want a vacation, let's teleport to a beautiufl beach or a gorgeous meadow or hell, even a plane after this to celebrate."
01[21:23] <Seira> "You have to at least pretend you're going to be having fun!"
06[21:23] * Seira nods at Pollyanna. "See? The wife knows how to have fun!"
[21:24] <Demedais> "Given our general luck, the beach will be a humongous monster's upper lip and the meadow's flowers, poisonous."
01[21:24] <Seira> "Now you're getting it!"
[21:24] <Alicia> "It doesn't know about anything outside this chamber," Alicia replies cutely. "The oozecats apparently leave it alone because it's not part of their pride, but it was scheduled to be infected with Blightfire. Its masters never came back. Not surprised when I told it why." She hesitates a moment, "Hell Striker, what do you think about it?" she asks her blade what it can sense of the slime.
[21:24] <Kotono> Pollyanna sighs and rubs her forehead.
[21:26] <Demedais> "And perhaps, dear, but I admit I'm trying to entertain as we wait." After, a nod to Alicia. "Alright. Hmmm. Can it give directions or requests to other slimes like it? Not the oozecats, but the others."
06[21:27] * Demedais idly glances around at this as he waits, a bit suspicious.
[21:27] <Kotono> OOC: Feel free to make a spot check?
[21:27] <Demedais> roll 1d20+31 kay
06[21:27] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+31 kay and gets 40." [1d20=9]
[21:33] <Kotono> The ooze oozes ahead slowly, back towards the glass tubes.
01[21:33] <Seira> "So what's up?"
[21:33] <Alicia> "Don't worry, it's just showing me what way to go to find the lair of the oozecats," Alicia reassures them, keeping pace with the cube.
06[21:34] * Seira raises her eyebrows. "Wow, you don't say?"
[21:34] <Kotono> The ooze very slowly advances forward. It reaches the edge of the glass tubes.
[21:34] <Demedais> "Alright." Demedais nods. "Cool, that'll let us finish the damn things off." This being said, he keeps his ears open at this - his eyes being mostly useless against the oozecats.
01[21:35] <Seira> "Sorry, non-evil ooze! I thought you were ambushing us like the others!"
[21:36] <Alicia> "Okay, we want to go something like twelve hundred feet in that direction," Alicia points in the heading the slime indicated. "There's a gap in the tubes where the pit of slime is. That's probably where they retreated to."
01[21:36] <Seira> "Let's not give them too much time to recover, then."
[21:44] <Kotono> The party advances on! They walk perhaps a thousand feet, through endless tubes. Ahead, about 150 feet or so, they can see a break in the tubes. It's too far away with all the tubes about to really get a look.
06[21:45] * Alicia can't see that far anyway, with her blindfold on. She'll rely on the others letting her know if they spot it before she gets in range.
01[21:45] <Seira> It seems like the perfect moment to risk a spell! Eventually, one will succeed!
01[21:46] <Seira> roll 1d20+16 draconic might
06[21:46] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+16 draconic might and gets 26." [1d20=10]
[21:46] <Kotono> OOC: Carry on, success.
01[21:47] <Seira> Properly prepared, Seira advances with a drawn sword, looking around for the oozecats!
06[21:48] * Demedais has his spear out, but relies mainly on his hearing to try and catch any signs of them sneaking up on the group.
[21:49] <Kotono> OOC: Make spot/listen, Deme/Seira?
[21:50] <Demedais> roll 1d20+31 spot
06[21:50] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+31 spot and gets 46." [1d20=15]
[21:50] <Demedais> roll 1d20+26 listen
06[21:50] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+26 listen and gets 42." [1d20=16]
01[21:50] <Seira> roll 1d20+13 spot
06[21:50] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+13 spot and gets 20." [1d20=7]
01[21:50] <Seira> roll 1d20+3 listen
06[21:50] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+3 listen and gets 22." [1d20=19]
[21:54] <Demedais> "...keep going slowly, but we have company." Demedais says, a low hiss while trying to keep his face perfectly still. "Seventy feet away and approaching us."
01[21:54] <Seira> "Which direction," Seira asks just as quietly.
[21:55] <Demedais> "Straight ahead."
06[21:55] * Alicia continues onwards exactly as she had been, waiting till said company enters her small sphere of vision...
[21:57] <Kotono> OOC: Let's do init here then?
01[21:57] <Seira> roll 1d20+3
06[21:57] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+3 and gets 10." [1d20=7]
[21:57] <Alicia> roll 1d20+7
06[21:57] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+7 and gets 19." [1d20=12]
[21:57] <Kotono> roll 1d20+7 Amaryl
06[21:57] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+7 Amaryl and gets 27." [1d20=20]
[21:57] <Kotono> roll 1d20+7 Polly
06[21:57] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+7 Polly and gets 13." [1d20=6]
[21:57] <Kotono> roll 1d20+2 Donald
06[21:57] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+2 Donald and gets 14." [1d20=12]
[21:57] <Demedais> roll 1d20+1 Was gonna trigger protection devotion once Alicia and Seira both responded, allowable or no?
06[21:57] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+1 Was gonna trigger protection devotion once Alicia and Seira both responded, allowable or no? and gets 14." [1d20=13]
[21:58] <Kotono> roll 1d20
06[21:58] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20 and gets 5." [1d20=5]
[21:58] <Kotono> roll 1d20+14 +14 to that first one too
06[21:58] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+14 +14 to that first one too and gets 20." [1d20=6]
03[21:58] * Kotono changes topic to 'Amaryl>????2>Alicia=????>Donald=Demedais>Pollyanna>Seira'
[21:59] <Kotono> Amaryl has her arrows ready as the party advances, waiting and cautious! OOC: She's holding.
01[22:02] <Seira> roll 1d20+13
06[22:02] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+13 and gets 24." [1d20=11]
[22:03] <Kotono> OOC: Alicia and ???? are up.
[22:03] <Kotono> Surging forth with a aroar, an oozing hellcat pounces ahead, going for Seira on point!
01[22:04] <Seira> "Alicia, something's moving off to the left towards you guys!"
[22:04] <Kotono> roll 1d20+28 (+2 charge, -2 PA)
06[22:04] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+28 (+2 charge, -2 PA) and gets 33." [1d20=5]

06[22:04] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+28 (+2 charge, -2 PA) and gets 41." [1d20=13]
[22:04] <Kotono> roll 1d20+26 bite
06[22:04] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+26 bite and gets 36." [1d20=10]

[22:04] <Kotono> roll 1d20+28
06[22:04] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+28 and gets 37." [1d20=9]
[22:04] <Kotono> OOC: AC?
01[22:04] <Seira> OOC: Does Deme has his AC boost up?
[22:04] <Kotono> OOC: Yeah, okay.
01[22:05] <Seira> OOC: 40 normally (with the dex damage), 46 with it
[22:05] <Kotono> OOC: Flatfooted AC, you haven't gone yet. So 40?
01[22:06] <Seira> OOC: Then 37/43
01[22:06] <Seira> OOC: 43 with the Deme boost, I meant
[22:06] <Kotono> roll 1d8+13+2d8
06[22:06] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d8+13+2d8 and gets 32." [1d8=8][2d8=3, 8]
[22:06] <Kotono> OOC: Also 1 dex damage.
[22:07] <Kotono> Seira gets a faceful of oozing kitty, clawed on her side as her body goes number! OOC: Alicia?
06[22:08] * Alicia quickly flaps her wings and takes off, flying up and over Seira's side to slash into the side of the hellcat assailing her!

[22:09] <Kotono> Alicia gets the oozecat in it's side, landing a soild blow against it! OOC: Donald.
[22:09] <Kotono> OOC: And Deme.
[22:09] <Kotono> Donald holds on guard, "What did you say, Seira?"
01[22:10] <Seira> "Something rushing past us to the left!"
[22:10] <Kotono> Donald turns that way, on guard and in front of the archers! OOC: Donald's basically holding. Deme?
[22:11] <Demedais> "Seira, you go deal with that rush, then! Let Alicia and I deal with this!" Demedais suggests, stepping to the side to flank the cat with Alicia as he slashes across the cat a few times with his glaive!
[22:12] <Demedais> roll 1d20+20 (+1 GMW +2 Flanking -5 PA)

[22:13] <Kotono> Demedais tries a few blind thrusts at his target, but doesn't land a single helping blow! Amaryl meanwhile readies arrows, sending a swarm of them blind!

[22:14] <Kotono> roll 2d8+12
06[22:14] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 2d8+12 and gets 24." [2d8=7, 5]
[22:15] <Kotono> Amaryl fires, some of her arrows landing and lightly wounding the cat! OOC: Sec, Polly holds, go ahead and go, Seira. Polly'll go after you.
06[22:17] * Seira scowls, but withdraws from the battle, even as she calls upon the power bestowed to her by Waukeen, moving off to the left to look for the oozecat she believes she'd spotted there.
01[22:18] <Seira> OOC: Tumble, devotion to move there and take a look
[22:22] <Kotono> OOC: Okay. How far do you move?
01[22:22] <Seira> OOC: Say ten feet to the left, take a look, then farther back towards the archers?
01[22:23] <Seira> OOC: If I don't see anything, I'll rejoin them and Donald, and do something with my standard action
[22:23] <Kotono> Advancing ahead, Seira gets a better look. She can see the leading hellcat, snarling silently as it positions to pounce on the archers form an angle!
01[22:23] <Seira> OOC: How much movement did I use up, and how far is it?
[22:24] <Kotono> OOC: 10 ft, like you said.
01[22:24] <Seira> OOC: How far away is it?
[22:24] <Kotono> OOC: Say 40ft or so.
03[22:25] * Kotono changes topic to 'Big oozecat>Alicia=Oozecat>Donald=Demedais>Amaryl>Pollyanna>Seira'
06[22:25] * Seira gestures at the overgrown hellcat, trying to summon up a spell!
01[22:26] <Seira> roll 1d20+16 emp. orb of elec
06[22:26] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+16 emp. orb of elec and gets 20." [1d20=4]
[22:26] <Kotono> OOC: d100.
01[22:26] <Seira> roll 1d100 of course
06[22:26] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d100 of course and gets 24." [1d100=24]
[22:26] <Kotono> roll 1d6
06[22:26] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d6 and gets 3." [1d6=3]
[22:26] <Kotono> Seira calls on arcane rites! But instead nothing happens, her voice turning into a squeaky, high pitched cuteness like Alicia! OOC: Polly.
01[22:26] <Seira> OOC: Still acting
[22:27] <Kotono> OOC: You have more after a swift+standard? Okay.
01[22:27] <Seira> OOC: I will... MOVE
06[22:27] * Seira retreats to cover the archers along with Donald, looking dismayed, and points straight in the direction of the leader cat, siccing Lagann at it!
[22:29] <Kotono> roll 1d20+8
06[22:29] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+8 and gets 9." [1d20=1]
[22:29] <Kotono> A sword goes out, striking at the only somewhat seen predator! OOC: Polly's taking her held action now.
03[22:30] * Kotono changes topic to 'Big oozecat>Alicia=Oozecat>Donald=Demedais>Amaryl>Seira>Pollyanna'
[22:30] <Kotono> Pollyanna provides more support to Demedais, firing her arrows at his quarry!
[22:30] <Kotono> roll 1d20+22
[22:30] <Kotono> roll 1d20+22
06[22:30] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+22 and gets 26." [1d20=4]

[22:30] <Kotono> roll 1d20+18

06[22:30] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d100 and gets 20." [1d100=20]
[22:30] <Kotono> roll 1d100
06[22:30] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d100 and gets 13." [1d100=13]
[22:32] <Kotono> But not a single arrow lands! OOC: Big oozecat is up.
[22:32] <Kotono> OOC: Actually, moment.
[22:33] <Kotono> Donald sees the cat ahead, channeling his arcane words, "Oh Mystra, Waukeen, any of you...don't let me screw this one up!" With that, he points his finger out once and then twice, a pair of crackling black beams coming out and towards the huge cat!
[22:34] <Kotono> roll 1d20+14 touch
[22:34] <Kotono> roll 1d20+14 touch
06[22:34] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+14 touch and gets 33." [1d20=19]
06[22:34] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+14 touch and gets 16." [1d20=2]

[22:34] <Kotono> roll 2d8
06[22:34] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 2d8 and gets 10." [2d8=8, 2]
[22:35] <Kotono> roll 1d20+22 fort
06[22:35] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+22 fort and gets 31." [1d20=9]
03[22:36] * Kotono changes topic to 'Big oozecat>Alicia=Oozecat>Demedais>Amaryl>Seira>Pollyanna>Donald'
[22:37] <Kotono> As all the magical gear the party wears beginst o glow bright, a single beam connects with the Hellcat! It's movements suddenly slow, as if becoming lethargic! It starts to charge forward, but can't even break a slow walk! It falls back back as well, retreating back into the tubes! OOC: Alicia and the oozecat are up.
06[22:38] * Alicia attempts to kill the oozecat next to her before it can do anything else!
[22:38] <Alicia> roll 1d20+28 divine might
06[22:38] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+28 divine might and gets 47." [1d20=19]

06[22:38] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+28 divine might and gets 31." [1d20=3]

[22:38] <Alicia> roll 1d20+18 divine might
06[22:38] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+18 divine might and gets 20." [1d20=2]
[22:39] <Kotono> OOC: All but the last hit.
[22:39] <Alicia> roll 5d8+110+10d6+5d6
06[22:39] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 5d8+110+10d6+5d6 and gets 191." [5d8=6, 7, 8, 8, 1][10d6=6, 2, 5, 1, 6, 6, 3, 4, 3, 5][5d6=1, 2, 2, 4, 1]
01[22:39] <Seira> roll 1d20+24 K:A

03[22:39] * Kotono changes topic to 'Big oozecat>Alicia>Demedais>Amaryl>Seira>Pollyanna>Donald'
[22:39] <Kotono> As Alicia rips the cat to shreds, it tries to maul her as well!
[22:39] <Kotono> roll 1d20+28
[22:39] <Kotono> roll 1d20+28
06[22:39] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+28 and gets 37." [1d20=9]
06[22:39] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+28 and gets 40." [1d20=12]

[22:39] <Kotono> OOC: AC?
[22:40] <Alicia> OOC: 36 (doesn't it normally get 3 attacks?)
[22:40] <Kotono> OOC: Oh yes, non charge so no rakes.
[22:41] <Kotono> roll 1d8+11+1d8+11+2d8+11 and 3 dex damage.
06[22:41] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d8+11+1d8+11+2d8+11 and 3 dex damage. and gets 49." [1d8=3][1d8=3][2d8=2, 8]
[22:41] <Kotono> As it dies, it does land some blows on Alicia, but none that are decisive! OOC: Deme.
06[22:42] * Seira snaps her fingers, and gestures in the direction the large cat had fled.
[22:43] <Demedais> "Next one's on the left, Seira?" Demedais calls. "Where Lagann's weapon is, right?" At Seira's point, "Right." With that, Demedais runs forward to Lagann's weapon, before attempting to jab where said weapon was engaging!

[19:40] <Kotono> > As it dies, it does land some blows on Alicia, but none that are decisive! OOC: Deme.
[19:41] <Kotono> * Seira snaps her fingers, and gestures in the direction the large cat had fled.
[19:41] <Kotono> <Demedais> "Next one's on the left, Seira?" Demedais calls. "Where Lagann's weapon is, right?" At Seira's point, "Right." With that, Demedais runs forward to Lagann's weapon, before attempting to jab where said weapon was engaging!
[19:42] <Kotono> Demedais dashes forward, striking at where the hellcat was! His spear hits nothing, only empty air! OOC: Amaryl's up.
01[19:44] <Seira> 'It fled,' Seira thinks to Amaryl. 'I'll see where to!'
[19:44] <Kotono> OOC: Amaryl holds, her weapon doesnt' do much to this and she knows it. She'll save an action in case it's needed. SEira.
[19:44] <Kotono> 'Okay,' Amaryl thinks back quickly.
06[19:45] * Seira proceeds on the oozecat's trail, drawing the darts. If magic doesn't want to cooperate, there are other means of attacking.
01[19:45] <Seira> OOC: I'll use the 30ft of travel to spot it, first
[19:46] <Kotono> Seira advances ahead! The oozecat has retreated back another 60 feet, hissing and keeping low to the ground.
06[19:47] * Seira approches to within thirty feet of it. While Lagann can't easily catch up across all that distance, darts empowered with the strongest spell remaining with her can!
01[19:47] <Seira> roll 1d20+14 ranged touch, overwhelm
06[19:47] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+14 ranged touch, overwhelm and gets 18." [1d20=4]
[19:48] <Kotono> Seira's magical energy converts to pure arcane fire, but the ooze cat nimbly avoids the darts, it's fell feline stare on Seira as it does so! OOC: Any more actions or is that it?
01[19:49] <Seira> OOC: No, those were all my actions, I'm 30ft away from it, sword drawn
[19:49] <Kotono> OOC: Ooops, you're right, roll damage.
01[19:49] <Seira> roll 9d6 bad kitty
06[19:49] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 9d6 bad kitty and gets 25." [9d6=3, 1, 1, 3, 4, 1, 6, 1, 5]
[19:50] <Kotono> The arcane fire lances through the great oozecat, ripping it's forepaw deeply and sending hissing acid ooze all about! OOC: Polly's up.
[19:50] <Kotono> "Now what?" she asks out loud, on guard. Donald sighs in relief, "Finally, that stupid spell worked...I don't see it, Pollyanna. It ran that aways."
06[19:51] * Demedais shrugs slightly. "Alicia, you can see it; you pursue, while us four keep pace?"
[19:53] <Kotono> While Pollyanna nods and waits a moment, Donald trots ahead up, catching up with Seira. He holds there. OOC: Donald follows along since he can see invis. Polly's holding on Deme and the others. Greatcat is up.
[19:53] <Kotono> The oozing behemoth of a cat ripples with energy!
[19:53] <Kotono> roll 1d20+20
06[19:53] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+20 and gets 22." [1d20=2]
[19:53] <Kotono> roll 1d100 snerk
06[19:53] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d100 snerk and gets 100." [1d100=100]
[19:53] <Kotono> OOC: Oh boy.
[19:54] <Kotono> roll 1d10*1d10
06[19:54] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d10*1d10 and gets 24." [1d10=3][1d10=8]
[19:55] <Kotono> roll 1d9
06[19:55] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d9 and gets 3." [1d9=3]
[19:55] <Kotono> With a wink, the leader of the Hellcats is gone, chaotic energy rippling all around it! OOC: Free act.
01[19:55] <Seira> roll 1d20 what the fuck did he do roll, K:A or spellcraft
06[19:55] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20 what the fuck did he do roll, K:A or spellcraft and gets 1." [1d20=1]
[19:56] <Alicia> "I actually can't," Alicia admits in her whiny high-pitched voice. But even as she says that she's already circling around and flapping her wings to fly off in the direction it went. "Nothing to stop me following Seira, though."
[19:57] <Demedais> "True." Demedais shrugs, before moving over in Seira's direction, gesturing the archers to follow.
01[19:57] <Seira> "It teleported away!" Seira exclaims. "Second time in a fucking row, what a cheapskate!"
[19:57] <Demedais> "... Okay." Demedais grunts, showing no reaction to Seira's voice. "Where'd he go? Do we know?"
[19:58] <Kotono> "Wow. It has the ability to withdraw safely from any battle and it actually uses it?" Donald puts a hand on his hip as he look sto Seira. "How come it takes turning it's brain to slime to make it an intelligent enemy?"
[19:59] <Alicia> "It already did that. This is hardly a new development," Alicia observes. "It's surely skulking around here somewhere - lets at least clean out the pit and it'll probably show up sooner or later."
06[19:59] * Seira stomps back, sulking. "It attacked us after we tore is apart the last time, and the last time was just ten minutes ago. Not quite the level of intelligence you allude to. And not a fucking word."
06[19:59] * Seira glares at Donald for good measure.
[20:00] <Kotono> "What? If I ever learn teleport, you bet I'll use that instead of getting maimed," Donald crosses his arms and glares right back. "Don't you do the same when a battle goes bad?"
01[20:00] <Seira> "And it's not hiding here, Alicia. I meant it teleported, an honest to goodness teleport out of these ruins he stayed at for millennia without ever leaving."
[20:00] <Kotono> "Why are you defending it?" Pollyanna just sighs very long. "Anyway, let's deal with that pit?"
[20:00] <Alicia> "How do you know it left?" Alicia asks. "It could have teleported anywhere, after all, just as it did last time."
[20:01] <Kotono> "You know," Amaryl come sto Seira's side, taking her hand into hers, "If it can teleport, why does it stay here?"
01[20:01] <Seira> "I saw the wild magic surge... thing," Seira says awkwardly, stumbling over the term before proceeding. "Seemed very powerful."
[20:03] <Alicia> "Well, if that's the case it could be anywhere in the world, now. There's no range limit as it is on a devil's greater teleport ability," Alicia observes. "Still, just because it was a powerful effect doesn't necessarily mean it's left outright. This chamber is huge enought to have any number of hiding spots."
[20:03] <Kotono> As the party walks along, they come to the Pit. It is a sunken metal vat surrounded by torn apart metal railing. Inside is a clear, semi transparent pit of ooze, about twenty feet deep. In it, leonic faces occasionally surface like air bubbles, growling and snarling. The smell from it is foul, like boiling acid.
06[20:04] * Alicia lifts up her blindfold to see properly, before she takes off and hovers thirty feet above the pit. "It might be a good idea if everyone else stands back," she suggests. "I'm going to try washing it out."
06[20:04] * Demedais rubs his head. "If we don't find it after a final sweep through here, we can and should look outside. But until then..." Demedais glances at Alicia, before motioning everyone well back of the pit, at least fifty feet.
06[20:04] * Seira doesn't want to be close enough to a washing of that thing, and steps well clear.
[20:05] <Kotono> The rest of the party follows Seira and Demedais, giving Alicia her space.
[20:07] <Alicia> Once everyone has some distance, Alicia aims her newly made decanter of endless water down at the pit at a slight angle to ensure any splashback should be directed away from her and her friends. Duly aimed, she utters the command word to unleash a geyser of water down into the slime, leading off with a small portion of Evergold water and backed up by a whole lot of the regular kind!
[20:07] <Alicia> roll 1d20+6 DC 12 str to avoid being knocked back
06[20:07] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+6 DC 12 str to avoid being knocked back and gets 21." [1d20=15]
[20:08] <Kotono> Alicia sends a torrent of water down! The first splash hisses in the slime, cutting through it like soap through grease! The following geyser spreads the water about, the slime dissipating under it's watery ministrations! Soon the slime is dissolved, a pit of slightly greasy water in it's place instead.
06[20:09] * Alicia shuts off her decanter and puts it back on her belt before she floats down a bit to look into the water and see if anything interesting has been revealed.
[20:10] <Kotono> OOC: Make a spot check?
[20:11] <Alicia> roll 1d20+10
06[20:11] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+10 and gets 30." [1d20=20]
06[20:12] * Alicia casts mage hand, attempting to snag said gem and pull it up for scrutiny without getting herself wet.
[20:12] <Alicia> OOC: CL?
[20:12] <Kotono> OOC: Yes.
[20:12] <Alicia> roll 1d20+16
06[20:12] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+16 and gets 32." [1d20=16]
[20:12] <Kotono> OOC: Link me to mage hand?
[20:13] <Kotono> The mage magic tugs at the gemstone, but it's set intothe metal around it. It'll need more work than that to dislodge.
[20:13] <Alicia> "Seira, there's a gem set into the metal at the bottom of the pit here," Alicia calls over. "Want to have Lagann try and pry it out?"
[20:13] <Kotono> As Alicia works, "I thought she was going to use spellfire," Donald mutters, "Alicia, what are you doing?" he then calls, "You really are washing out the slime pit?
[20:13] <Kotono> "
[20:14] <Demedais> "Diluting it enough that it can't coalesce into something solid, at least. Works for me." Demedais mutters.
01[20:14] <Seira> "Sure thing," Seira responds, flying over. "Lagann, give us a hand?"
[20:15] <Alicia> "It worked, didn't it?" Alicia calls back to Donald.
01[20:16] <Seira> "I remember washing out a creepy pit of undead and corruption devil remains," Seira agrees. "Seemed to work then just fine."
[20:16] <Kotono> Seira uses Lagann! Lagann rips away the metal around the gem, retreiving that, and the gem by extension, out. It looks like an emerald with a few strange black dots inside, about the size of a small apple.
01[20:16] <Seira> "So what now?" Seira asks, offering the gem to Alicia. "Search the rest of this place, return home and try to scry on the large cat?"
06[20:17] * Alicia puts the gem into the portable hole. "If it's not in here we should, yes," Alicia agrees. "A creature like that could cause no end of terror if set loose in the world."
[20:17] <Demedais> "If we need to scry on him, yes. For all we know he managed to teleport himself right next to the angel."
06[20:18] * Seira snorts. "That would be funny, yeah. Let's go ask before we leave?"
06[20:19] * Alicia pulls down her blindfold. "Lets resume our circuit of this chamber for now?"
06[20:20] * Demedais nods. "Agreed."
[20:21] <Kotono> Thus the party searches! most of the interior of the area is just tubes. However, as they search, about 1/3 of the way done, they come across a table. Here, amid tubes, lie several metal or glass bottles. In the glass ones, you can see tiny quantities of clear, semi-transparent slime. Surrounding the vials looks to be a general laboratory with various tools.
[20:23] <Demedais> "A maintenance or testing area?" Demedais hazards, looking at the small samples.
01[20:23] <Seira> "All of the above. We can always try to look at the research at leisure much later, and see whether there's any benefit whatsoever to be gained from it."
06[20:25] * Alicia nods. "For now lets keep looking around to see if we can find that cat anywhere... even though it'll see us a mile away with how much we're glowing..."
[20:26] <Kotono> "So," Donald picks up a glass container, moving the slime in it back and forth, up and down, "Are we going to do anything with it or leave it here to rot? Do we want to try our own efforts into slime monsters? You know, they'd make decent support for the guards, if everyone could accept slimes." Notably, the metallic and glass containers do not glow. "Oh yeah. Heh," rubbing the back of his head, "At least the spell worked?"
01[20:26] <Seira> "Like I said, we'll see about that later. This slime isn't going anywhere, and the research might well provide something not as offensive as fiendish crossbreeds."
[20:27] <Kotono> OOC: Ready to move along then?
06[20:27] * Demedais nods slightly. "See Seira. It may be convertable; no reason to pass judgment just yet."
[20:27] <Demedais> OOC: Sure.
[20:28] <Kotono> The search continues. Near the end you come to a pillar that connects to the ceiling, a little island amid the glass tubes. Several drawers are built into it, made of steel.
[20:30] <Alicia> "Want to check it for traps, Seira?" Alicia asks as they congregate around the pillar.
01[20:30] <Seira> roll 1d20+27 sure
06[20:30] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+27 sure and gets 36." [1d20=9]
06[20:31] * Demedais looks over it himself for anything blaringly off as Seira does the general check.
[20:31] <Demedais> roll 1d20+31 spot
06[20:31] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+31 spot and gets 37." [1d20=6]
01[20:31] <Seira> "The traps think we're the gnomish caretakers. We can open them just fine," Seira responds, demonstrating on the nearest drawer.
[20:32] <Demedais> "Gnomish writing on each drawer, too. Perhaps by category?" Demedais points out.
[20:35] <Kotono> Inside the variouds drawers: One has for little stoppered glass vials. Another has a pair of metal bottles and a small little stick, capped with metal. The other two have three scrolls each.
06[20:35] * Seira carefully writes down what was in each drawer, along with the names the gnomes had for each drawer.
[20:36] <Kotono> Antitoxin, resistance to acid and delay poison wand, scrolls of neutralize poison and restoration, respectively.
06[20:38] * Alicia puts all the items into her portable hole. "Well, I think we're about done," she remarks. "Lets circle back to the entrance now? I'll let 408 out into the steel jungle then we can check if the guardian knows what happened to the oozecat before we leave?"
[20:38] <Demedais> "Sure." Demedais shrugs. "408 is the friend slime?"
[20:38] <Alicia> "Subject 408, yes," Alicia nods. "It doesn't remember being anything else, I'll see about giving it a better name, though..."
01[20:38] <Seira> "Yeah, about your nonevil ooze friend. Can you tell him that it was an honest mistake? I tried, but he's snubbing me."
[20:39] <Demedais> "I won't offer any names." Demedais notes dryly as they head back.
[20:39] <Alicia> "I did," Alicia tells Seira. "I spoke up quite earnestly in your defence."
[20:39] <Kotono> The party returns to the stairs without incident. There, they find the surviving intelligent ooze waiting for them.
06[20:40] * Seira gives Alicia a thumbs up. "How about Jill? For the name, I mean."
06[20:40] * Alicia flies over directly above it as before. "It's talking now. I'll suggest it - the rest of you take the lead and we'll follow?" she suggests.
[20:41] <Demedais> "Sure." Demedais says, waving slightly to the ooze before heading up the stairs.
06[20:41] * Seira tags along with Demedais.
[20:43] <Kotono> Thus the party escapes out of the slime laboratory, climbing back up! They enter back to the steel jungle, the slime following behind them at it's own sedate pace. On reaching here, 'This is outside? There is no glass outside, but there is metal?' Alicia hears.
[20:44] <Kotono> The ooze starts to slither ahead, as if merely sliming around. If it has emotion, it's jelly-body doesn't show them.
[20:45] <Alicia> 'This is a small part of outside,' Alicia replies. 'There is far more, but it is not always safe - for now you can roam around the area between the fort entrance and the gate at the opposite end freely. Don't go any further, as one of the ones who killed your masters is beyond, and would attack any who claim loyalty to the God King.'
06[20:46] * Seira turns back to give the ooze a friendly wave.
[20:46] <Kotono> The slime oozes towards the jungle, pressing into it.
[20:46] <Kotono> Pollyanna watches and shakes her head.
01[20:46] <Seira> "Well, we've met some friends here. Maybe you will be next?" Seira offers to Pollyanna.
[20:47] <Alicia> "I've told it not to go beyond the gate at the far end, since I don't know if the guardian would leave it alone or not," Alicia speaks up. "Shall we go and check in with it now before departing?"
[20:47] <Demedais> "Sure." Demedais nods at this.
[20:47] <Kotono> "Well, let's see. You adopted a snake-dragon, and Alicia's adopted a gelatinus cube. I'm not sure what that bodes for me," Pollyanna says with a tight, smirking smile.
01[20:48] <Seira> "That was the plan!" Seira agrees with Alicia, before telling Pollyanna, "Anything but a troll."
[20:48] <Kotono> As you walk back to the being of flame, standing aside on the path still, "You know, are you going to take that home with you or leave it here?" Donald asks.
01[20:49] <Seira> "Take what? By the way, I didn't have to say this, but that was a really great moment where you shone, back there, taking out the hellkitty."
01[20:49] <Seira> *have a chance to
[20:50] <Alicia> "It's far too deadly to live in a city," Alicia shakes her head. "Someone could walk into it and die without it even meaning harm. I'll either send it to a place where it can do no harm, or find a way to make it less dangerous before being set loose on the world." Explanation done she seconds Seira, "And yes, you sent it running with a single spell. Good job, Donald," she gives him a smile.
[20:50] <Kotono> "Heh...glad I got a spell through at last. These wild surges are terrible," Donald grins.
[20:50] <Kotono> "Any ideas," Amaryl asks Alicia, blushing as she looks at her, "To make it less deadly."
01[20:50] <Seira> "Yes. A lot seem almost designed to be humiliating," Seira agrees.
[20:51] <Demedais> "Indeed. You did well there." Demedais nods to Donald.
06[20:51] * Alicia shrugs in response to Pollyanna, somewhat annoyed that her current humiliating voice is probably the reason for said blushing. "No, but I'll study the research materials left here to see if I can get any ideas."
[20:51] <Alicia> Amaryl*
01[20:52] <Seira> "We did find quite a few reference books."
[20:52] <Kotono> The flaming being waits as the party talks, the walk having taken them to it.
01[20:53] <Seira> "Hi!" Seira calls out to it, wincing instantly. But there's no regretting it, now. "So we fought this evil cat, but there was a surge of wild magic as it tried to teleport, and it flung it far away. I think. Would you know better?"
[20:54] <Kotono> "I have seen nothing," It replies, "This path has been silent."
01[20:54] <Seira> "Guess scrying is the way to go, then."
[20:55] <Alicia> "We'll try that in the morning before coming back here," Alicia nods. "Everyone ready for the return trip?"
[20:55] <Demedais> "Thank you. Guess we're off, then." Demedais nods to the flaming being, then to Alicia.
01[20:55] <Seira> "Sure thing," Seira agrees.
06[20:55] * Alicia first of all teleports their merry little band to the desert oasis!
[20:55] <Alicia> roll 1d20+16 CL
06[20:55] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+16 CL and gets 22." [1d20=6]
[20:56] <Kotono> OOC: d100.
[20:56] <Alicia> roll 1d100
06[20:56] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d100 and gets 41." [1d100=41]
[20:56] <Kotono> roll 1d6
06[20:56] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d6 and gets 3." [1d6=3]
[20:58] <Kotono> OOC: Deme, what do you have on your possession? PM me all the items and gear you have real quick?
[21:00] <Kotono> roll 1d13
06[21:00] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d13 and gets 5." [1d13=5]
[21:01] <Kotono> In Deme's backpack, another source of bright light begins to glow!
[21:02] <Demedais> "... Right. Wild magic." Demedais comments, shifting his backpack off quickly to check and see what it is.
[21:02] <Kotono> Demedais' cold weather clothes now glow like the other magical items the party has when they're nearby Donald.
06[21:02] * Alicia quirks a half-smile. "Might want to have Seira look at that, it'll probably be enchanted like my flask of water was." She gives him a minute to check before trying her spell again.
[21:02] <Alicia> roll 1d20+16 CL
06[21:02] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+16 CL and gets 31." [1d20=15]
[21:03] <Alicia> roll 1d100 studied carefully
06[21:03] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d100 studied carefully and gets 15." [1d100=15]
[21:03] <Kotono> Woosh! The party at appears at the oasis without incident.
[21:03] <Alicia> And now on to home!
[21:03] <Alicia> roll 1d100 very familiar
06[21:03] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d100 very familiar and gets 30." [1d100=30]
[21:03] <Kotono> OOC: Okay, what are you guys doing at home now?
[21:03] <Alicia> OOC: spam dispel magic to fix my voice before Marie shows up
[21:04] <Kotono> OOC: Make DM checks?
[21:05] <Alicia> roll 1d20+12
06[21:05] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+12 and gets 32." [1d20=20]
[21:05] <Kotono> The first spell is sufficient to return Alicia's voice to normal.
06[21:05] * Alicia then does Seira a favour.
[21:05] <Alicia> roll 1d20+12
06[21:05] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+12 and gets 20." [1d20=8]
[21:05] <Kotono> No dice.
[21:06] <Alicia> roll 1d20+12
06[21:06] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+12 and gets 30." [1d20=18]
[21:06] <Kotono> The second time restores Seira's voice to normal!
[21:06] <Alicia> Does Donald need help deflating his head?
[21:06] <Kotono> Please.
[21:06] <Alicia> roll 1d20+12 the ladies will never love you like this
06[21:06] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+12 the ladies will never love you like this and gets 20." [1d20=8]
[21:06] <Kotono> No luck. Alicia's dispel fails.
[21:07] <Alicia> roll 1d20+12
06[21:07] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+12 and gets 17." [1d20=5]
[21:07] <Alicia> roll 1d20+12
06[21:07] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+12 and gets 29." [1d20=17]
[21:07] <Kotono> The third try is enough, Donald's head back to normal.
[21:07] <Alicia> Anyone else have anything they need fixed?
[21:08] <Kotono> Donald also makes magical items glow, if you wanna fix that.
[21:08] <Alicia> roll 3#1d20+12 I've been hitting him with targetted dispels, so one of the earlier ones might've got him
06[21:08] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 3#1d20+12 I've been hitting him with targetted dispels, so one of the earlier ones might've got him and gets 70." [3#1d20+12 = 22, 26, 22]
[21:09] <Kotono> Donald no longer makes magical items glow as well.
[21:09] <Alicia> All is right with the world once more.
[21:10] <Kotono> Lemme know when you guys have spells re-prepped.
[21:10] <Demedais> Done, precasting GMW on both sword and spear, not sure why I didn't do this before.
[21:10] <Kotono> Okay.
[21:11] <Kotono> The group gathers at Seira's inn. Here, deep within it's safe recesses, Seira has her scrying mirror ready. OOC: Gof or the scrying?
[21:11] <Alicia> Shield, Heroism, Greater Magic Weapon, and Sonic Weapon. Donald gets Heroism as well.
[21:12] <Alicia> Axe the heroism for D, Seira's got him covered.
[21:12] <Alicia> And Resist Energy (Acid) for me and Donald
[21:13] <Kotono> Okay.
06[21:13] * Seira casts the scrying spell, seeking out the nasty oozekitty that got away!
[21:13] <Kotono> Get with the scryin' whenever and note buffs in #evil?
01[21:13] <Seira> OOC: DC 24?
[21:13] <Kotono> roll 1d20+22
06[21:13] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+22 and gets 30." [1d20=8]
[21:13] <Kotono> Seira casts...but the scrying fails.
06[21:14] * Demedais nods to Seira and tries himself.
[21:15] <Kotono> roll 1d20+22
06[21:15] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+22 and gets 34." [1d20=12]
[21:15] <Kotono> Demedais fails to scry as well.
[21:16] <Demedais> "We might as well do what we can with the ruins and try scrying again tomorrow." Demedais shrugs after the failure.
01[21:16] <Seira> "We'll get it one day!"
[21:16] <Alicia> "Well, lets go to the ruins instead, now?" Alicia suggests.
[21:17] <Demedais> "Yeah. We can try again tomorrow, though having it be loose is worrying." Demedais grumbles. "I'll try to think of some way to track it down."
06[21:17] * Alicia casts a few last minute spells on Amaryl and Pollyanna before teleporting the group to the desert oasis!
06[21:17] * Seira doesn't argue with that, merely casting a few other spells before she is ready.
[21:17] <Alicia> roll 1d100 studied carefully
06[21:17] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d100 studied carefully and gets 43." [1d100=43]
[21:18] <Kotono> Woosh! The teleport to the oasis is without incidnet.
[21:18] <Alicia> Next stop the steel jungle!
[21:18] <Alicia> roll 1d20+16 CL
06[21:18] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+16 CL and gets 26." [1d20=10]
[21:18] <Alicia> roll 1d100 seen casually
06[21:18] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d100 seen casually and gets 75." [1d100=75]
[21:19] <Kotono> The party once again appears on the road amid the steel jungle. Ahead, the fortress looms. Around you, several skeletons lie. Some sort of large creature, littered about.
[21:19] <Alicia> Are they in the same place as the troll corpses were?
[21:19] <Kotono> They are. Further, there are more dotted about ahead.
[21:20] <Demedais> "Some ooze has been busy." Demedais mutters.
[21:21] <Alicia> "There seem to be more of them... I wonder why they never attacked us, though?" Alicia wonders. "Well, anyway, lets investigate the fort for now?"
06[21:21] * Seira is agreeable with that.
[21:22] <Demedais> "Alright."
[21:27] <Kotono> Ahead you can see a large, main room. The floor is made of black and white marble, pillars supporting the ceiling and decorating. It's a tall room, walkways lining the walls and leading to doors to a second floor are about - thoguh you don't see any stairways or ways to reach those without flying.
[21:27] <Kotono> There is a large, iron barred door straight ahead, underneath the walkways and on ground level. There is a door on the lower left side of the room, on the ground level as well. On the upper level and thew alkways, there is a door to the right, an open arch. There is also a door to the left, two of them, one with a iron door and the other being another arch.
01[21:27] <Seira> "Let's try that planar museum for now?" Seira suggests. "We'll need tokens, though."
06[21:28] * Alicia pats the pouch on her belt where she has hers. "Got it," she confirms, approaching said doorway.
[21:28] <Kotono> "We'll wait here then," Pollyanna hangs back with Amaryl.
06[21:29] * Seira opens the door and heads inside!
06[21:30] * Demedais pauses for a moment, considering...
[21:31] <Kotono> Seira appraoches and opens the door! Ahead is a marble floor. A luxurious hallway has glass cases along it's sides, full of strange objects at a glance. A voice in gnomish speaks in the minds of all that enter! 'You are entering the Planar Control Museum. Please do not be without your identifying marks at all times or you will risk injury or death. Do not disturb items or subjects. Repeat, do not disturb items or subjects.'
[21:31] <Kotono> "Coming, Demedais?" Donald calls back as the party enters.
06[21:32] * Seira silently resolves to make Donald an exhibit if he makes them risk injury or death through a random bout of stupidity, and heads farther in to take a look.
[21:32] <Demedais> "Amaryl, go with the group." Demedais says, handing the token to her. "I'll stick back." With that he stays near Pollyanna, nodding the group on.
[21:32] <Kotono> "O-Okay," Amaryl blushes and takes the token. "Be careful, both of you!" OOC: Deme, hop into #terror?

---

[21:37] <Kotono> Once the rest are gone, Pollyanna blows out a breath. "Thanks," she says to Demedais.
[21:37] <Demedais> "No problem." Demedais shrugs. "...If there are more skeletons, it stands to reason there are more trolls. Leaving you two here suddenly seemed silly once I thought about it that way."
[21:39] <Kotono> With a blossoming smile as she goes to rest against a wall, "I know. Not to mention whatever else could be around here. Helm's Throne, there are so many things here! Those giant lizards, the slimes, the trolls..." Blowing out a harsh breath, "It makes Kondrux look relatively mundane."
[21:40] <Demedais> "It does, yes. Not any less deadly, but definitely more mundane." Demedais nods, resting against the same wall but keeping a level eye out, sword in hand here. "Hopefully everything goes well in there. We can't exactly go in to help, but... Donald's good at defending others. That might be enough."
[21:41] <Kotono> "Yes." After closing her eyes and composing herself, "Demedais. You pray to Helm and he speaks to you many a time, yes?"
[21:43] <Demedais> "...apparently more than most, yes." Demedais rubs the back of his head. "I try not to request anything directly unless it seems we're in great need, or I have no other option at hand, but..."
[21:44] <Kotono> "Has he every told you why it's you? Why are you the one to face everything and not someone else?"
[21:47] <Demedais> "No. To be honest, it never occured to ask." Demedais shrugs. "I'd guess a case of what was available at the time?"
[21:49] <Kotono> "I really hate that answer." Pollyanna looks to Demedais, "It's not really an answer. There has to be a better reason for why we're here, deep underground, risking our lives against historic fossils."
[21:51] <Demedais> "...because Daa-vid became a pure engine of breaking this planet, and... I have to think that the chaos we're letting loose upon the world is just a herald of a greater peace, a better stability?" Demedais muses.
[21:51] <Kotono> "You're missing the point," With a little pout as she walks up to Demedais, "I mean, why are YOU it. It can't just be because you were convienent."
[21:55] <Demedais> "...Two other alternatives present themselves to me, based on what I've seen. One is that, well, I was the closest paladin- well, at the time, paladin-in-training and warrior around, and was thus the best possible option. The other..."
[21:55] <Demedais> "Well, I'm still convinced Helm has a rather, ah, sharp sense of humor, and that might be the other reason."
[21:56] <Kotono> "A sense of humor? What does that mean?" With a completely puzzled look, "Like this is some sort of joke?"
[21:56] <Demedais> "No, more like... the one person that least expected or understood what he'd be getting into with what he was doing, but was determined to damned well try anyway."
03[21:58] * Hatbot (~Hatbot@24.174.51.230) has joined #terrorofdunes
[21:58] <Kotono> roll 1d100
06[21:58] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d100 and gets 71." [1d100=71]
[21:59] <Kotono> "Also stubborn enough to keep it up despite that?"
[22:00] <Demedais> "Despite all the resulting, ah, adventures, yes." Demedais grins. "I'd be lying if I said my viewpoint hasn't changed immensely since then, and I'm glad to have this chance, but... For a long time I wondered when it'd end, whether things would 'return to normal'. I've stopped thinking that."
[22:04] <Kotono> "So this is normal now?" Starting to laugh weakly, "All this is normal?"
[22:06] <Demedais> "Not normal, hardly normal... but I've not been walking a normal path." Demedais sighs.
[22:07] <Kotono> "I don't suppose Helm will take complaints about it, will he?" With her own sigh, "No, it's your duty. That's the point of Helm's worship, but..."
06[22:09] * Demedais looks at Pollyanna, one hand put on her shoulder. "... at least at this rate you'll likely be able to call Celestia home as well?" he says with a somewhat crooked smile.
[22:11] <Kotono> "Arcadia, isn't it? I mean...Helm's realm is in Arcadia in the House of the Triad. Right?" With a blink-blink, "I'm not growing wings like Alicia, am I?"
06[22:12] * Demedais closes his eyes. "It's obvious I'm a bit tired, isn't it. Yes, Arcadia."
[22:13] <Kotono> "Heh..." Laughing a little more at that, "Point taken."
06[22:18] * Demedais looks around during the lull in conversation, hand on Pollyanna's shoulder still.
[22:18] <Kotono> As a silence settles over the two, "Say, Demedais." OOC: Make a spot check if you like?
[22:18] <Demedais> roll 1d20+26
06[22:18] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+26 and gets 27." [1d20=1]
[22:18] <Demedais> "Hm?
[22:19] <Kotono> "What do you think of Amaryl?"
[22:20] <Demedais> "...Ah. She's learning quickly as an archer, but I remember reading that it takes a long time for full-born elves to reach adulthood. Translated to our age, she's probably a bit younger than us? Probably still trying to find her own road." Demedais shrugs after a moment. "Why?"
[22:24] <Kotono> "Yes," Looking downward and downcast, "Yeah. I don't know, just curious."
[22:24] <Demedais> "...Something bothering you?" Demedais asks at that.
[22:25] <Kotono> "No, nothing," With a hint of peevishness in her voice, "Nothing at all."
[22:26] <Demedais> "...Right." Demedais says. "A side note; I've been thinking. You know that spell Alicia, Seira and Marie use? Magic missile?"
[22:27] <Kotono> "Yeah?" Pollyanna's gaze stays downward, her voice distant. "What abou tit?"
[22:30] <Demedais> "They pierce hard and resistant skin... I was thinking of getting you a bow that'd turn arrows you shoot to those, or something close to them."
[22:33] <Kotono> "Mmm. Really?" Looking up to Demedais now, "Hwo wouldtha twork?"
[22:34] <Demedais> "I'm not sure, but I'd think it'd be simple. Just enchant the bow to change the properties of the arrows." Demedais muses. "Would need to clear it with Elle, but it seems feasible. The splitting arrows trick could probably be added as well... hm."
[22:38] <Demedais> "Anything you can think of that'd help you, there?
[22:38] <Kotono> "Let me think about it," Pollyanna bites down her lip, "I like my bow, but it could stand to be better."
06[22:40] * Demedais nods. "Hmmm..."
[22:45] <Kotono> After another pause, "Alicia's very pretty, isn't she?"
06[22:49] * Demedais blinks. "I..." After a moment, he puts his sword up against the wall as he clasps Pollyanna's other shoulder in his left hand. "You're the only one I have eyes for, Pollyanna. Alright?"
[22:51] <Kotono> "I know. That wasn't what I meant..." Pollyanna blushes like the sun. "I mean, well...I wanted to ask you. Are you ever...tempted at all? Seira and Alicia and Antenora...they're so pretty. Amaryl's an elf and so exotic."
[22:56] <Demedais> "... I once saw Alicia shred an upper-rank devil to shreds in the blink of an eye and with a complete rage on her face. Seira once accidentally - very accidentally, mind, she thought I was protected from it - hit me with a charm effect. Amaryl is... well, she fawns over Seira enough that warning bells would come up in most minds anyway, and Antenora's an outsider and devoted to the concept of it." Demedais mutters.
[22:57] <Kotono> "...I don't quite follow," Pollyanna admits, "I mean...explain that a little more?"
[22:58] <Demedais> "Those are why I'd steer clear of them even if I weren't with you." Demedais shakes his head. "... Which one do you want me to elaborate on?"
[23:01] <Kotono> "Well...Alicia first, since I brought her up?"
[23:05] <Demedais> "...Remember the desert advance against the devils? The one that bow came from?" Demedais asks. "The Cornugon she killed there, without any hesitation or second thoughts... The rage that she can go into, with that sword of hers. I see her face and I remember that, and it's profoundly disconcerting. ...She's also an outsider now, I guess? Doesn't help."
[23:08] <Kotono> "What about the others? Go ahead," Smiling a little now, "Finish that thought."
[23:10] <Demedais> "Seira... well, the surest way to make me wary is to mess around with my mind. While I've forgiven her for it, I still haven't forgotten it. That, and she and Amaryl are cute together, all things considered." Demedais muses.
[23:11] <Demedais> "Antenora... outsider. Really, that's about the end-all of it from that direction, to me. Amaryl... well, first, Seira and her. Secondly, just feels... vacilliating."

---

[21:33] <Kotono> Amaryl runs, catching up with the rest of the group. "Demedais gave me his...so, let's go in?"
01[21:34] <Seira> "So Demedais stayed behind, all alone with Pollyanna?" Seira asks to clarify, turning around.
[21:34] <Kotono> "Looks that way," Donald glances back, "Maybe they just want some alone time?"
01[21:34] <Seira> "I honestly don't know. Let's ask him when we return."
[21:34] <Alicia> "I can think of more romantic places," Alicia mutters dryly, looking around as they head down the hallway.
[21:36] <Kotono> The hallway is pleasant and smells good, in a strange, earthy sort of way. The first wave of display cases looks to have little things. Each is labeled. A cog from Mechanus, still turning endleslsy. A sliver of a slaadi's nail, cut and twisting in color. An angel's feather, a handful of angry red soil said to be from the Abyss. Ahead, the hallway connects to what looks to be a larger room.
01[21:37] <Seira> The larger room is their destination!
01[21:37] <Seira> roll 1d20+29 traps, just in case
06[21:37] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+29 traps, just in case and gets 30." [1d20=1]
[21:37] <Alicia> Knowing how the gnomes operated, Alicia's rather doubtful that the donors of these exhibits were willing. Still, it's innocuous enough for the moment...
[21:38] <Kotono> The way ahead is not trapped. As you get closer, there is a shudder. Your magic ceases to function, as if cut off abruptly.
01[21:39] <Seira> "Now I'm really glad you came along," Seira tells Amaryl, shuddering.
06[21:39] * Alicia shivers. "Something's trapped here..." she murmurs, picking up the pace forwards to the larger chamber.
[21:40] <Kotono> "Really?" Donald grumbles under his breath after, commenting about dead magic irritably. "How do you know that?"
[21:41] <Alicia> "I just... feel it," Alicia replies vaguely. "Can't you? Something... sad and lonely?"
01[21:41] <Seira> "No, sorry."
[21:41] <Kotono> "Nope," Donald shakes his head back and forth.
[21:42] <Kotono> "Not a thing," Amaryl says, looking at her bow with a frown.
[21:42] <Alicia> Must just be her. Perturbed but undeterred, Alicia presses on.
01[21:43] <Seira> "If you feel like something's influencing you, let us know right away?"
[21:43] <Kotono> Ahead is a grand hall. Several doors are about it on the sides. The back of the hall is taken up by a vast image of the God-King, his gaze boring down on the party. You can almost feel His presence, weighing down on your bodies and spirits. Unbidden, images of the Magus of time briefly flicker in your mind.
01[21:44] <Seira> "Our old pal must've made this place," Seira comments. "Lagann's hate is certainly real."
06[21:44] * Alicia goes to open the first door they come across, nervous energy papable in her movements.
[21:45] <Kotono> The rooms each have a plaque on the door, engraved with gnomish.
06[21:45] * Seira reads the plaques for all the doors, first, translating them.
[21:45] <Alicia> Since she can't read that language, Alicia just opens the door.
[21:48] <Kotono> The door Alicia is by is titled 'Abyssal Specimens'. Ahead is a small front room with several glass windows spaced apart, doors besides each one. One looks into an empty, scorched pit. The glass over it is shattered. Another shows an idyllic realm of sunlight and beauty. Behind that intact glass, a beautiful, breathtaking man sits in comtemplation. Behind another, a sea of filth sits, stagnant and untouched. A fourth has a frozen wasteland.
[21:49] <Kotono> Behind another, a sea of filth sits, stagnant and untouched. A fourth has a watery pit.
[21:49] <Alicia> roll 1d20+22 planes surely to ID the man?
06[21:49] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+22 planes surely to ID the man? and gets 34." [1d20=12]
06[21:51] * Seira just quickly proceeds to read and translate the names for the other doors, for now.
[21:51] <Alicia> "Eurgh..." Alicia grimaces. Is that the source of the feeling she's getting? "A succubus..." she steps fully into the room, going to stand before the glass panel holding the fiend.
01[21:52] <Seira> "Hello, pretty demon," Seira greets the breathtaking man upon rejoining Alicia.
[21:54] <Kotono> Seira keeps going. The rooms are the following 'Yugoloth Examination Chambers' 'Diabolical Dissections' 'Inevitable Mechanicals' 'Slaadi Amorphic Display' 'Beastlands Zoo' 'Celestial Alterations' 'Archonic Harvesting' 'Eladrin Service' 'Interbreeding categories' and 'Studies room'.
[21:55] <Kotono> "Aren't they supposed to be girls?" Donald grumps.
01[21:55] <Seira> "Gender is a state of mind for them, I think."
[21:55] <Kotono> "Oh, hello," His voice is flawless. It's like listening to a speaker that stirs your soul. It's muffled from behind the glass. "You aren't gnomes."
[21:56] <Alicia> "Shapechangers, Donald," Alicia gives him a sidelong look. "The gnomes are all dead," she then tells the fiend.
01[21:56] <Seira> "Pretty much," Seira agrees. "So what's a nice demon like you doing in a place like this?"
[21:58] <Kotono> "I was summoned and trapped here," It answers, "It seems that an unpleasant end has befallen the gnomes, but alas, they did not think to leave a way out for their speciments. Pity." He wears only an old tunic that barely covers the essentials standing up. A tail swishes as he stands. "Are you to smite me and return me screaming to the Abyss?"
[21:58] <Alicia> "In fact, surely you know the gnomes are dead," Alicia muses, giving the succubus a suspicious look. "This fortress was razed by the combined forces of... well, effectively everyone except from the gnomes and the devils. I can even see one of the other holding chambers here has been broken open. So why didn't anyone care to let you out?"
01[21:59] <Seira> "This is a good point, actually. What did happen to those other holding chambers?"
[22:00] <Kotono> A shrug. "A molydeus escaped, but it cared nothing for me. The thing was mad, even for it's standards. Ah, of course. You want information about this place?"
01[22:00] <Seira> "You can talk. We'll listen," Seira agrees once more.
[22:00] <Alicia> "If you care to offer it, we'll take it with the appropriate consideration given the source," Alicia replies levelly.
[22:03] <Kotono> "To the right is a a Broodswarm, gifted with filth and power over water. The farthest one is home to frosted Bar-Lgura. I do not believe either has escaped."
01[22:04] <Seira> "Sounds about right. So what made you so special to be summoned amongst all the other succubi?" Seira asks curiously.
[22:05] <Kotono> "Who knows? They wanted a specimin to house and breed. I don't know what criteria they used in summoning me." With a dazzling grin, "Besides beauty."
[22:05] <Alicia> "Breed?" Alicia repeats, a queasy expression manifesting on her features.
01[22:05] <Seira> "Ah, yes." Seira winces. "There was a door for that as well. I hoped we'll find anything beyond it empty and I wouldn't need to share."
[22:05] <Kotono> "Why yes. Even with the inevitable and with magic applied. Quite different, I must say."
01[22:07] <Seira> "How about we just leave for now?" Seira asks Alicia. "There were rooms with celestials, and we can try to free them before all else."
06[22:07] * Alicia shudders. "This is only going to get worse, isn't it?" she asks despairingly. "Lets... lets check the other rooms before anything else?"
06[22:07] * Alicia nods to Seira, going back out into the corridor.
[22:07] <Kotono> "Do let me out," The succubus calls as you go, "Before you leave!"
06[22:07] * Seira returns towards the celestial alterations door, takes a deep breath and opens it.
[22:07] <Kotono> Amaryl shudders as she follows behind Seira, "What...but aren't they...metal?"
[22:08] <Alicia> "We will," Alicia calls back. "Behave and you'll go home in one piece rather than several."
01[22:08] <Seira> "A wizard did it," Seira mutters in response. "But just because we can doesn't mean we should!"
[22:10] <Kotono> Inside...are tables. Tables still stained with dark patches are all about. Strapped to one wall is an angel, an astral deva. It's wings are gone, replaced by jagged metal laced with semitransparent slime in the shape of new wings. It is slumped as it is chained to the wall. On a table another astral deva is pinned. It's form is unclad, but otherwise untouched. The room is otherwise clean. Diagrams of celestial bodies line the walls.
[22:10] <Kotono> The room is otherwise clean. Diagrams of celestial bodies line the walls.
06[22:11] * Seira rushes towards the table, intent on checking the deva for lifesigns.
[22:11] <Alicia> "Oh... Mystra!" Alicia gasps, rushing to the deva on the wall.
[22:12] <Kotono> The deva looks up, a warm smile. "At last. Please, free me," He asks. "I have been here far too long at the hands of sadistic gnomes, left and forgotten."
[22:12] <Kotono> The one on the table speaks as well, "Has mercy at last come?"
[22:12] <Alicia> "Why...? The guardian was right outside, why did it leave you here to suffer?" Alicia asks despairingly, working feverishly to release the straps.
[22:12] <Kotono> The deva on the table is alive, unharmed. "Remove this chains, dragonling. I bid you in the name of all that is holy!"
[22:13] <Kotono> The chains are difficult and strong. Undoing them will not be easy, there is no obvious way to do so.
[22:13] <Alicia> "Hold still," Alicia requests, readying Hell Striker and striking down to sever the chains with her blade!
01[22:13] <Seira> "We're here to get you out!" Seira promises. "I don't know!" she calls to Alicia, thinking the same thing. Returning her mind to the task at hand, she commands, "Lagann! Let's do it together!" She draws the gnomish Resort, an artifact that would still work even in here, and slashes at them.
[22:14] <Kotono> With a roar of anger in Seira's mind, Lagann undoes the chains holding the angel! OOC: Alicia, make a sunder attempt.
[22:15] <Alicia> roll 1d20+10 -8pa
06[22:15] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+10 -8pa and gets 23." [1d20=13]
[22:15] <Kotono> OOC: Hit. damage.
[22:15] <Kotono> OOC: Damage, even.
[22:15] <Alicia> roll 1d8+26
06[22:15] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d8+26 and gets 33." [1d8=7]
[22:15] <Kotono> The metal cracks at the slam, but does not break all the way.
[22:15] <Alicia> roll 1d20+5 -8pa
06[22:15] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+5 -8pa and gets 6." [1d20=1]
[22:15] <Alicia> roll 1d20+0 -8pa
06[22:15] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+0 -8pa and gets 1." [1d20=1]
[22:15] <Kotono> The deva on the table sits up, "Finally. Thank you." Meanwhile, Alicia swings again and again, but both blows somehow miss the chian!
[22:15] <Alicia> roll 1d20+10 -8pa
06[22:15] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+10 -8pa and gets 19." [1d20=9]
[22:16] <Kotono> OOC: Hit.
[22:16] <Alicia> roll 1d8+26
06[22:16] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d8+26 and gets 28." [1d8=2]
[22:16] <Kotono> This time, the chain breaks! The Astral Deva half hangs off, half of it's bindings undone.
06[22:16] * Seira sheathes her sword, helping the deva up. "I can't help you with magic right away, but as soon as we take you out, we could do more," she promises.
[22:16] <Alicia> "Hold on," Alicia reassures, shifting position to hit the other half of the train.
[22:16] <Alicia> roll 1d20+10 -8pa
06[22:16] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+10 -8pa and gets 20." [1d20=10]
[22:17] <Alicia> roll 1d20+5 -8pa
06[22:17] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+5 -8pa and gets 23." [1d20=18]
[22:17] <Alicia> roll 2d8+52
06[22:17] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 2d8+52 and gets 54." [2d8=1, 1]
[22:17] <Kotono> "I'm not hurt. Draiel is," Looking to the other angel as Alicia frees it, "He'll need Regeneration."
01[22:17] <Seira> "Yeah, I gathered," Seira agrees. "At least we have that option, now."
[22:18] <Kotono> Draiel slumps to his knees, looking up at Alicia. "Thank you, my kin. My heart is lifted on seeing one ofus after these long years."
[22:18] <Alicia> "Can you plane shift on your own?" Alicia asks, offering a shoulder to Draiel as he's freed. "Travelling to Ysgard should work to mend your wings."
[22:19] <Kotono> "I would here if I could. The magic of the place bound me before, and now, no magic works. A dead magic area has fallen, otherwise we would have escaped."
06[22:19] * Seira smiles at the deva she's supporting, even as she waits for Alicia's question to be answered. "I'm Seira. Let's get you out of this crazy no magic zone?"
[22:19] <Alicia> "It doesn't extend far, we'll get you out of here," Alicia offers, supporting Draiel towards the door. "Alicia is my name, by the way."
[22:19] <Kotono> "Milliel," The angel resting on Seira says.
[22:20] <Kotono> As the party starts to walk out, "Donald," Donald adds his own name in, "Donald Smurth. Glad we're getting you out of here."
01[22:20] <Seira> There may be more to talk about, but right now the priority is getting back and hoping no tempering with the exhibits would be detected by the defenses, given those in this part are literally dead.
[22:21] <Kotono> The party staggers back out to the hall, just past the edge of the dead magic aura. Magic returns to the party!
[22:22] <Kotono> "The magic...is it back?" Draiel slowly uses the wall and Alicia to position up, "Then we can return to the Heavens from here?"
01[22:22] <Seira> "Should we remove those wings before you go back, Draiel?" Seira asks uneasily, eyeing the unnatural things. "I think Lagann should be able to do it painlessly."
[22:23] <Kotono> "Thank you, but no. Magic will do it just as well. Seira. Alicia." He looks to both of them, "Thank you. What Heaven do you come from? It would be our honor to pay you visit and respect afterwards?"
01[22:24] <Seira> "Balmuria! It's on Prime, next to the Bay of Sparkling Stars! Can't miss it!"
06[22:24] * Alicia notably perks up when the magic returns. "None as yet, I'm still bound to the Prime," she replies. "But one day you'll probably find me in Dweomerheart."
[22:24] <Kotono> "Ah. Balmuria..." Milliel says, "Thank you. We will find some way to repay your kindness," He promises, before...
[22:25] <Kotono> roll 1d20+12
06[22:25] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+12 and gets 26." [1d20=14]
[22:25] <Kotono> The two angels vanish away.
[22:25] <Alicia> "There were a lot more doors, weren't there?" Alicia asks, deflating once the pair are away. "I don't doubt we'll find just as bad in the next..."
[22:26] <Kotono> "Hey, we did the right thing." Donald thumps his chest, a metallic ringing, "Besides the gnomes already got theirs."
[22:27] <Alicia> "And it didn't occur to any of the triumphant victors to see to the welfare of those captured during the war?" Alicia asks, stalking back into the dead magic zone. "I will have harsh words for that guardian when this is done, I don't care how powerful it is."
01[22:27] <Seira> "I think we'll find worse," Seira says dejectedly. "Even Sharrans were more horrible, and gnomes were pretty depraved." Achonic harvesting is her next destination, although she doesn't say it out loud.
[22:28] <Kotono> As you reach the door 'Archonic Harvesting', your magic returns within about 5 feet of it.
06[22:28] * Seira pauses, and checks the door thoroughly.
01[22:28] <Seira> roll 1d20+29 traps
06[22:28] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+29 traps and gets 36." [1d20=7]
06[22:28] * Alicia is starting to get the hang of this. "There's probably magical defences or confinement in here..."
01[22:29] <Seira> "But this, at least," she says, holding up her token, "disabled it." And she opens the door.
[22:30] <Kotono> Inside are several cells. The bars are torn apart, ripped open. No one seems to be in them now.
06[22:31] * Seira looks extra carefully, in case they're invisible and just hiding.
[22:31] <Kotono> OOC: Make spot if you like, then.
[22:31] <Alicia> "Whomever was in here must have broken out as the Molydeus did," Alicia muses, before frowning. "I wonder what their excuse for not helping those two devas was?"
[22:32] <Kotono> "That doesn't make much sense, no," Donald agrees, "They should be ashamed of themselves."
01[22:32] <Seira> "You heard the devas," Seira says thoughtfully. "If they could, they would have plane-shifted right away. And so would I, to be honest, if I'd gotten trapped and tortured here and my jailors were just outside the door, armed."
[22:33] <Alicia> "True," Alicia thinks briefly of all the souls trapped in the Halls of the Vanquished that she's failed to liberate. "We don't know the circumstances of their escape," she concedes.
01[22:33] <Seira> "That stupid guardian is at fault, anyway! I bet he stealthily serves Torm, the god of failure!"
[22:34] <Kotono> "Now what? Check another room?" Amaryl speaks up.
01[22:34] <Seira> roll 1d20+29 search for clues before moving on
06[22:34] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+29 search for clues before moving on and gets 40." [1d20=11]
[22:34] <Alicia> "Could be anyone," Alicia agrees. "But couldn't anyone have spared the time to come and free them, regardless of who was left to watch over? It's just shameful," she shakes her head as she goes back into the hallway, this room seemingly barren.
06[22:35] * Seira tries the 'eladrin service' door, considering it to be disturbing, but likely to find survivors there.
[22:37] <Kotono> Inside of the eladrin service door, you find a mock forest about. Tied to trees are various eladrin, banded with jagged blue chains. A few courre, a shiradi eladrin and a firre eladrin. However, each is covered in wounds.
[22:38] <Kotono> "Careful!" One of the coure cries immediately, "This place is not safe! Be on guard!"
[22:38] <Alicia> "What should we watch for?" Alicia calls from the doorway. "We need to get you all out of here!"
[22:39] <Kotono> The shiradi eladrin turns it's head, "Molydeus," It licks blood flecked lips.
01[22:39] <Seira> Sword drawn, Seira asks Lagann, "Can you do something about the chains from here?"
[22:39] <Kotono> At that, you hear a manic laughter echoing from deeper within the forest.
[22:40] <Alicia> "Damn... going to be hard to kill without magic," Alicia grimaces, her own sword held ready... just how big is this room?
[22:41] <Kotono> It's fairly big. The mock forest makes determining dimensions difficult, but there's at least 20 feet of space on eithe rside.
[22:41] <Kotono> OOC: Roll init here?
[22:41] <Kotono> "Guests at last? Come, welcome to my beautiful gallery! Isn't everything here lovely? Come, take a closer look at them!"
01[22:41] <Seira> roll 1d20+6
06[22:41] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+6 and gets 21." [1d20=15]
[22:41] <Kotono> The laughing voice howls from within the forest.
[22:41] <Alicia> roll 1d20+6
06[22:41] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+6 and gets 21." [1d20=15]
[22:42] <Kotono> roll 1d20+2 Donald
06[22:42] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+2 Donald and gets 8." [1d20=6]
[22:42] <Kotono> roll 1d20+6 Amaryl
06[22:42] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+6 Amaryl and gets 9." [1d20=3]
[22:42] <Kotono> roll 1d20+10
06[22:42] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+10 and gets 15." [1d20=5]
03[22:42] * Kotono changes topic to 'Seira=Alicia>Molydeus>Amaryl>Donald'
[22:45] <Alicia> roll 1d20+8
06[22:45] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+8 and gets 13." [1d20=5]
01[22:45] <Seira> roll 1d20+9 spot
06[22:45] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+9 spot and gets 13." [1d20=4]
[22:46] <Kotono> roll 1d20+2 guess who doesn't have hide as a class skill?
06[22:46] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+2 guess who doesn't have hide as a class skill? and gets 19." [1d20=17]
[22:46] <Kotono> OOC: -4, for 15.
[22:47] <Kotono> roll 1d20+1 Donald
06[22:47] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+1 Donald and gets 8." [1d20=7]
[22:47] <Kotono> roll 1d20+17
06[22:47] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+17 and gets 24." [1d20=7]
[22:47] <Kotono> "There!" Amaryl points, "It's in the forest a little ways," she points back, maybe twenty to thirty feet, a little ways past the chained eladrin.
01[22:48] <Seira> 'Lagann, free the eladrin right next to it,' Seira thinks to her friend.
[22:49] <Kotono> OOC: Any in particular you want to freE? Closest is a courre.
01[22:49] <Seira> OOC: Closest, really
[22:50] <Kotono> Lagann springs into action, undoing the chains around one eladrin! The courre slumps down, fluttering free and fleeing towards you! It's body is covered with little injuries. "Waaah! Get him! He's terrible!" OOC: Alicia.
01[22:50] <Seira> "Get over to the door," she calls over to the courre, moving towards another chained eladrin to guard it. "We've come to free you all!"
[22:51] <Kotono> "Freedom!" The firre calls, "Free us, please!"
[22:51] <Alicia> "This is more suited for devils, but hopefully it'll sting," Alicia hazards, taking out her jar of Evergold water and pitching it right at the demon's face!
[22:51] <Alicia> roll 1d20+19 ranged touch
06[22:51] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+19 ranged touch and gets 32." [1d20=13]
[22:51] <Alicia> roll 1d20+22 knowledge devotion
06[22:51] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+22 knowledge devotion and gets 35." [1d20=13]
[22:51] <Alicia> OOC: +4
[22:54] <Kotono> roll 10d8+10
06[22:54] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 10d8+10 and gets 54." [10d8=4, 5, 4, 1, 7, 4, 4, 5, 6, 4]
[22:55] <Kotono> The jar is thrown onto the molydeus! It shatters onto it's body, steaming like acid! It lets out a pained howl, "Aaah! You little bitch!" it swears, rushing out of the forest in a hurry, trampling ahead! It's like a bloody man with a snake and wolf's head, charging right at Alicia!
[22:56] <Kotono> roll 1d20+19 (+2 charge, -2 water, -8 PA)
06[22:56] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+19 (+2 charge, -2 water, -8 PA) and gets 28." [1d20=9]
[22:56] <Kotono> OOC: AC?
[22:56] <Alicia> OOC: AC 22
01[22:56] <Seira> roll 1d20+19 smite
06[22:56] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+19 smite and gets 31." [1d20=12]
[22:57] <Kotono> OOC: Whiff.
[22:57] <Kotono> roll 3d6+30
06[22:58] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 3d6+30 and gets 38." [3d6=3, 1, 4]
[22:58] <Alicia> OOC: silver?
[22:58] <Kotono> OOC: No, and also hit. I forgot to add the charge mod, Seira.
01[22:59] <Seira> roll 3d8+9+6d8 divine, bitch
06[22:59] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 3d8+9+6d8 divine, bitch and gets 54." [3d8=4, 4, 5][6d8=7, 4, 8, 4, 6, 3]
[23:00] <Kotono> As Seira rips into it's side, the molydeus charges Alicia! It's enchanted blade bites deep into her flesh, wounding her greatly! The Molydeus is wounded as well, body still mending devastatingly fast, far from normal! OOC: Fast healing is also an EX, amusingly. Amaryl's up.
01[23:01] <Seira> "Retreat to the devas!" Seira calls to Amaryl and Donald. "Lead the eladrin there!"
[23:02] <Kotono> "Got it!" Donald calls, Amaryl and Donald leading the courre out! OOC: They're busy doing that then. Seira and Alicia are up.
06[23:03] * Alicia tumbles away from the Molydeus to land by the entrance to the archon door, patting the flask on her belt that looks identical to the one she just threw. "Come on, I've got lots more bathwater for you!" she taunts it.
06[23:03] * Seira uses the chance to free another of the imprisoned celestials, and moves towards a third.
[23:03] <Alicia> OOC: move and total defence
[23:04] <Kotono> This time Seira frees the firre, who stays by her side. Despite it's wounds, "I'll protect you in case it comes this way," it vows, "Don't argue, just freethe others!"
06[23:05] * Seira doesn't argue with that, ready to defend any of the helpless in case the demon charges back!
[23:06] <Kotono> The Molydeus follows Alicia, rushing out of the room in pursuit! It swings at her again as it comes into range!
[23:06] <Kotono> roll 1d20+15 (+2 charge, -2 water, -14 PA) It doesn't like you and is aiming to do something about it. Something PAINFUL.
06[23:06] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+15 (+2 charge, -2 water, -14 PA) It doesn't like you and is aiming to do something about it. Something PAINFUL. and gets 29." [1d20=14]
[23:06] <Alicia> OOC: AC 41
[23:08] <Kotono> This time, the powerful swing meets Alicia's full defenses, stopped cold! Meanwhile, Donald and Amaryl help the eladrin along! OOC: Alicia and Seira are up. Alicia, if you're attacking it, it's still a square inside of the anti magic area. Your attacks will be subject ot that, i.e., no spells or arcane strike.

03[19:47] * Taishyr is now known as Demedais
06[19:48] * Alicia suddenly realises she's made a tactical error and backs off some more, retreating fully into the emptied out archon chamber until her back is to the wall, affecting an alarmed look as if she's just realised she's got nowhere left to run, and grimly raises her guard against the inevitable.
[19:48] <Alicia> OOC: move and total defence
06[19:48] * Seira entrusts the Resort to the firre with the Resort, tossing it over before having Lagann break out another eladrin. "The sooner we get everyone out, the quicker I can help Alicia put that overgrown freak down," she tells it, before snorting in amusement. "Don't argue, just do it?"
01[19:48] <Seira> OOC: Freeing another one, hoping my new friend does likewise

[19:51] <Kotono> More eladrin are freed as Alicia runs back, Seira working away at the same time! As more eladrins are freed, the molydeus charges Alicia once more!
[19:51] <Kotono> roll 1d20+30 (+2 charge)
06[19:51] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+30 (+2 charge) and gets 47." [1d20=17]

01[19:52] <Seira> OOC: Total defense doesn't help?
[19:52] <Alicia> OOC: normally 35
[19:55] <Kotono> Alicia is cut into with it's axe, as the wolf's head grins! A magical force rips from it's body, striking out at Alicia's weapon! OOC: Quickened TK into a disarm attempt.
[19:55] <Alicia> OOC: Can I spellfire it?
[19:56] <Alicia> OOC: wait, no, shouldn't be able to
[19:56] <Kotono> OOC: Yeah, the target is your sword, not you.
[19:56] <Kotono> OOC: No AoO, so pposed checks.
[19:57] <Alicia> roll 1d20+34
06[19:57] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+34 and gets 35." [1d20=1]
[19:57] <Kotono> roll 1d20+28
06[19:57] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+28 and gets 39." [1d20=11]
[19:59] <Kotono> With a jerk, Hell-Strike is knocked free from Alicia's grasp! The molydeus smirks with a sickening air, "Do you think I'm a fool to chase you out of the dead magic area now, warrior? I'll demonstrate all my techniquesof torment on you!" OOC: Donald and Amaryl are up, still herding Celestials along. Alicia and Seira.
[20:00] <Alicia> "Don't worry, I've got a few of my own to show off," Alicia returns gamely, attempting to defensively cast a spell first of all...
[20:00] <Alicia> roll 1d20+13 DC 19 concentration for greater invis
06[20:00] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+13 DC 19 concentration for greater invis and gets 21." [1d20=8]
[20:01] <Alicia> OOC: CL?
[20:01] <Kotono> OOC: Yes.
[20:01] <Alicia> roll 1d20+16
06[20:01] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+16 and gets 17." [1d20=1]
[20:01] <Kotono> OOC: Ow.
[20:01] <Alicia> roll 1d100 shit
06[20:01] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d100 shit and gets 37." [1d100=37]
[20:02] <Kotono> Alicia channels arcane power, but all that happens is that a tense, electric music fills the air! OOC: Any other actions?
06[20:02] * Seira trusts the eladrin to free the others with the borrowed Resort, which has no issues cutting through the chains in dead magic, and finally heads to catch up to Alicia, drawing the gnomish short sword she brought along for Lagann's sake.
[20:02] <Alicia> Okay... that was pretty bad, she has to admit. She actually looks worried now, tumbling away from the Molydeus towards the side of the room, buying herself some room as she draws the sword of the sealed gate!
01[20:03] <Seira> OOC: I'll move 60ft towards the sounds of combat, and if that gets me out of dead magic, I'll use Travel to move 30ft more closer. How far would I end up?
[20:03] <Kotono> OOC: You could reach the molydeus if you like for a strike.
01[20:03] <Seira> OOC: I'd prefer staying 10ft away
01[20:03] <Seira> OOC: Close, but out of FA range for it even on a 5ft step
[20:03] <Kotono> OOC: You'd need more than that. It's large so it has 10ft reach.
01[20:03] <Seira> OOC: 15?
[20:03] <Kotono> OOC: Alicia, how far did you tumble away?
[20:04] <Kotono> OOC: 20. 10+5ft step is 15.
01[20:04] <Seira> OOC: 20 it is!
[20:05] <Alicia> OOC: depends how big the room is, lets say 20 feet though to avoid full attacks
[20:05] <Kotono> OOC: That's fine.
[20:06] <Kotono> The molydeus laughs hard, snake head wrapping around it's forehead like a scaly bandage! As it's wounds mend, it's sides held with laughter, "Oh, this is so beautiful! I've grown so bored of helpless prey! Oh, you'll just DIE AND DIE AND DIE AND DIE AND DIEEE!" The last word is a horrible blasphemy, ripping through the two heroines! OOC: Will saves, -2.
[20:07] <Alicia> roll 1d20+25
06[20:07] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+25 and gets 36." [1d20=11]
01[20:07] <Seira> roll 1d20+24
06[20:07] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+24 and gets 35." [1d20=11]
01[20:08] <Seira> roll 1d20+14
06[20:08] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+14 and gets 26." [1d20=12]
[20:10] <Kotono> The powerful word of pure evil slams into the two, but the vile force is resisted safely! Yet a jolt of pure force slams into Seira's weapon a moment later! OOC: Quickened TK again, disarming Seira. Opposed checks.
[20:10] <Kotono> roll 1d20+28
06[20:10] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+28 and gets 33." [1d20=5]
01[20:11] <Seira> roll 1d20+22
06[20:11] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+22 and gets 36." [1d20=14]
[20:12] <Kotono> But Seira's grip is like iron, resisting the powerful jolt of force! Meanwhile, Donald and Amaryl continue to work! OOC: You two are up.
06[20:12] * Alicia decides she's had enough of this thing, it's time to go all out. With a whispered command, she activates the magic of her boots...
[20:13] <Alicia> OOC: CL on time stop?
[20:13] <Kotono> OOC: Yes. Seira, wait a sec, lemme resolve you one at a time.
[20:13] <Alicia> roll 1d20+17
06[20:13] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+17 and gets 21." [1d20=4]
[20:13] <Alicia> roll 1d100 at least it was only a swift action, but man
06[20:13] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d100 at least it was only a swift action, but man and gets 49." [1d100=49]
06[20:16] * Alicia curses quietly, settling instead for whipping her sword at the creature, sending it arcing across the prison to cut into the demon's flesh before reappearing in her hand!
[20:16] <Alicia> roll 1d20+16 CL for whirling blade
06[20:16] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+16 CL for whirling blade and gets 22." [1d20=6]
[20:16] <Alicia> roll 1d100 wtf
06[20:16] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d100 wtf and gets 98." [1d100=98]
[20:19] <Kotono> Alicia summons more magic! But her blade merely floats a little in the air, gleaming with rainbow colors! It whizzes by the molydeus and returns to Alicia's hand, leaving him unarmed! However, it's colors are gold and white and silver now, as if dipped in the Heavens! OOC: That it, Alicia?
[20:19] <Alicia> OOC: that's all she wrote
[20:19] <Kotono> OOC: Man, Hatbot hate. Seira.
01[20:19] <Seira> "Quit talking about death like you have any say in it, retard," Seira snaps at the demon, waving her temporary sword at it menacingly. And then she tries to slam it with an orb of sound, steps closer to breathe fire on it and then retreats the five feet back once more.
01[20:19] <Seira> OOC: Two cl checks?
[20:20] <Kotono> OOC:Yeah, one for each spell.
01[20:20] <Seira> roll 1d20+16 orb
06[20:20] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+16 orb and gets 31." [1d20=15]
01[20:20] <Seira> roll 1d20+16 ranged touch
06[20:20] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+16 ranged touch and gets 25." [1d20=9]
[20:20] <Kotono> OOC: Hit.
01[20:20] <Seira> roll 15d4 sound, fort24 or deafened
06[20:20] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 15d4 sound, fort24 or deafened and gets 41." [15d4=3, 2, 3, 2, 3, 2, 3, 2, 2, 4, 4, 3, 3, 2, 3]
[20:21] <Kotono> roll 1d20+21 fort
06[20:21] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+21 fort and gets 40." [1d20=19]
[20:21] <Kotono> OOC: Resolve your othe rspell now.
01[20:22] <Seira> roll 1d20+17 quickened breath, I'll use the holy tonic
06[20:22] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+17 quickened breath, I'll use the holy tonic and gets 35." [1d20=18]
[20:22] <Kotono> OOC: Okay. Success. Ref?
[20:22] <Kotono> OOC: It has evasion so give me the DC first
[20:22] <Kotono> .
01[20:22] <Seira> OOC: 24, and I hate it
[20:22] <Kotono> roll 1d20+17 Yeah, I figured you might.
06[20:22] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+17 Yeah, I figured you might. and gets 35." [1d20=18]
[20:23] <Kotono> As an orb of sound crashes into the molydeus, it's side is shaken and burst apart! In the sonic crashing, it weaves past Seira's breath, it's snake extending f ully out and snapping at Seira! OOC: Molydeus is up then, unless you have more?
06[20:23] * Seira glares at the demon.
[20:24] <Kotono> The molydeus channels in more words of blasphemy, great power unleashed at both women! OOC: Cl check.
[20:24] <Kotono> roll 1d20+19
06[20:24] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+19 and gets 23." [1d20=4]
[20:25] <Kotono> OOC: Saves. It's funny none of you have hitten 23 until now. That also lets you know what the CL target is.
01[20:25] <Seira> roll 1d20+26
[20:25] <Alicia> roll 1d20+25
06[20:25] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+26 and gets 29." [1d20=3]
06[20:25] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+25 and gets 28." [1d20=3]
[20:25] <Kotono> OOC: -2, remember.
[20:26] <Kotono> OOC: Still just made it, Seira.
01[20:26] <Seira> OOC: 27
[20:26] <Alicia> OOC: factored in
[20:26] <Kotono> The horrible blasphemy rocks both, but again they endure! OOC: Donald and Amaryl are finishing up celestial help. You two are up.
[20:27] <Alicia> Once more Alicia tries to freeze time so she can regroup!
[20:27] <Alicia> roll 1d20+17 CL
06[20:27] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+17 CL and gets 32." [1d20=15]
[20:27] <Kotono> OOC: Success.
[20:27] <Alicia> As everything around her slows to a crawl and then stops utterly, she walks over to the frozen Molydeus and picks up Hell Striker, healing herself as she does so.
[20:28] <Alicia> OOC: 20hp lay on hands, round 1
[20:28] <Kotono> OOC: Okay.
[20:28] <Alicia> She then sheathes the sword of the sealed gate and positions herself to attack.
[20:28] <Alicia> OOC: round 2 ends, time resumes and I take my full round action
[20:29] <Alicia> As time begins to speed up back to its normal rate, Alicia appears to have teleported behind the fiend! Before it can even react, she leaps upon it in a flurry of vicious strikes to rend it apart before its fast healing can save it!
[20:30] <Alicia> roll 1d20+36 raging, divine might, 6th, 4th, and 3rd level arcane strike, bracers

[20:30] <Kotono> OOC: Three hits and a crit.
[20:31] <Kotono> OOC: You don't bypass it's DR, but go ahead and roll it all at once. I'll do the math on my end.
[20:31] <Alicia> roll 4d8+96+8d6+4d6+4d6+52d4
06[20:31] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 4d8+96+8d6+4d6+4d6+52d4 and gets 283." [4d8=7, 5, 2, 7][8d6=1, 5, 2, 5, 3, 2, 3, 1][4d6=2, 2, 3, 1][4d6=2, 5, 4, ]
[20:32] <Kotono> The molydeus is maimed and hacked horribly, withstanding Alicia's fury! It's body struggles to mend as it's guts are splayed, it's head cracked in twain! Despite it, somehow the abomination lives! As brain ichor drips down into it's mouth, "Aaaaah! You hit like a balor!" OOC: Seira.
06[20:32] * Seira slides into a flanking position with the grace bestowed upon her by Waukeen, not even batting an eye at Alicia's placement, attacking as soon as she's in position!
[20:33] <Kotono> OOC: No flanking bonuses, molydeus are immune to flanking.
01[20:33] <Seira> roll 1d20+23 (flying, it can be symbolic)
06[20:33] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+23 (flying, it can be symbolic) and gets 28." [1d20=5]

[20:34] <Kotono> Seira closes in and hacks at the molydeus! She has it's back, but it's snakehead, dripping blood, turns around to follow her movements! It reacts perfectly, weaving between the two women, one head on each of them! OOC: The molydeus is up.
[20:35] <Kotono> Surrounded by foes, the molydeus fights hard now, snapping and tearing into them!
[20:35] <Kotono> roll 1d20+23 (-5 CE) axe Alicia
06[20:35] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+23 (-5 CE) axe Alicia and gets 35." [1d20=12]
[20:36] <Kotono> roll 1d20+18 (-5 CE) axe Seira

[20:36] <Kotono> roll 1d20+8 axe Seira
06[20:36] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+8 axe Seira and gets 18." [1d20=10]
01[20:36] <Seira> OOC: AC is currently 43
[20:36] <Alicia> OOC: AC 35
[20:36] <Kotono> roll 1d20+20 wolf head bite Alicia
06[20:36] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+20 wolf head bite Alicia and gets 28." [1d20=8]
[20:36] <Kotono> roll 1d20+20 snake head bite Seira
06[20:36] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+20 snake head bite Seira and gets 24." [1d20=4]
[20:37] <Kotono> roll 3d6+14 Alicia owwies
06[20:37] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 3d6+14 Alicia owwies and gets 22." [3d6=2, 3, 3]
[20:37] <Kotono> As it's wounds try and mend, the molydeus fights without a word! A split second later, another jolt of force flies out at Alicia's weapon! OOC: TK again.
[20:37] <Kotono> roll 1d20+28
06[20:37] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+28 and gets 40." [1d20=12]
[20:37] <Alicia> OOC: CL?
[20:37] <Kotono> roll 1d20+19 CL
06[20:37] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+19 CL and gets 33." [1d20=14]
[20:37] <Kotono> OOC: Carry on.
[20:37] <Alicia> roll 1d20+36
06[20:37] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+36 and gets 38." [1d20=2]
[20:38] <Kotono> Hell Striker is knocked flying again, pried out of Alicia's hands and sent to the ground! Meanwhile, "Seira? Alicia?" Donald's voice can be heard, "We're about clear!" OOC: You two are up.
01[20:39] <Seira> roll 1d4
06[20:39] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d4 and gets 1." [1d4=1]
06[20:40] * Seira decides to slide out of reach, aborting this failed experiment, and throws out her hand at the demon, channeling her very rage into arcane energies to strike it with!
01[20:40] <Seira> roll 1d20+16 orb of sound, pearl'd
06[20:40] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+16 orb of sound, pearl'd and gets 19." [1d20=3]
[20:40] <Kotono> OOC: d100. Not your day.
01[20:41] <Seira> roll 1d100
06[20:41] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d100 and gets 35." [1d100=35]
01[20:41] <Seira> "Having my sword back would be nice!" Seira calls back, relying on Lagann to help relay it to her if need be.
[20:42] <Kotono> OOC: Where did you drop your sword?
01[20:42] <Seira> OOC: I gave it to the firre to free other eladrin
[20:43] <Kotono> From away, "Coming!" You can hear the firre call! OOC: Lagann can't get it since the firre is in the dead magic zone. The firre is coming now, though. Anything else, Seira?
01[20:43] <Seira> OOC: Not right now
[20:43] <Kotono> OOC: Alicia.
[20:44] <Alicia> "Just accept the inevitable and die!" Alicia snarls as her weapon is sent away once more, quickly grabbing the sword of the sealed gate and stabbing the fiend in the neck with everything she has!
[20:45] <Alicia> roll 1d20+41 divine might, 6th and 5th and 2nd level arcane strike, smite
06[20:45] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+41 divine might, 6th and 5th and 2nd level arcane strike, smite and gets 57." [1d20=16]
[20:45] <Kotono> OOC: Hit.
[20:45] <Alicia> roll 1d8+22+13d4
06[20:45] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d8+22+13d4 and gets 50." [1d8=3][13d4=3, 3, 2, 1, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 1, 4, 2, 2]
[20:46] <Alicia> OOC: +1
[20:46] <Alicia> OOC: sorry, +5
[20:46] <Kotono> Alicia stabs the demon in the neck! The rippling blow is massive as Seira's spell fizzles, the dragon-mage stepping back! Despite a jet of blood gushing from it's neck, the creature lives yet! With a grotesque grin, "Hehehhehe...harder!" It barks! OOC: Molydeus is up.
[20:47] <Kotono> The wolf-snake demon reaches out for Alicia with one hand!
[20:47] <Kotono> roll 1d20+19 CL
06[20:47] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+19 CL and gets 28." [1d20=9]
[20:47] <Kotono> roll 1d20+27 melee touch
06[20:47] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+27 melee touch and gets 31." [1d20=4]
[20:47] <Kotono> OOC: Touch AC?
[20:47] <Alicia> OOC: 16
[20:47] <Alicia> OOC: I'll spellfire it if it's a spell
[20:47] <Kotono> OOC: It is.
[20:48] <Kotono> OOC: Vampiric touch in particular.
[20:49] <Kotono> As it's neck wound closes up, the hand of the molydeus touches Alicia! However, it's magic flows into her safely! It snarl-snaps in amusement! Meanwhile, the firre races up, holding the sword out to Seira! Donald and Amaryl are there as well! "Need help," Donald calls, Amaryl snapping off arrows at it!
[20:49] <Kotono> roll 1d20+18
[20:49] <Kotono> roll 1d20+18
06[20:49] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+18 and gets 22." [1d20=4]
[20:49] <Kotono> roll 1d20+18
06[20:49] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+18 and gets 23." [1d20=5]
[20:49] <Kotono> roll 1d20+18
06[20:49] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+18 and gets 25." [1d20=7]
06[20:49] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+18 and gets 28." [1d20=10]
[20:49] <Kotono> The arrows miss entirely, the molydeus batting them out of the air with one grand swing of it's axe! OOC: Seira and Alicia are up.
01[20:50] <Seira> The gnomish sword drops as Lagann seizes the Resort out of the air, and Seira is off in a charge back at the demon, hoping that this one strike will be enough to support Alicia!
01[20:50] <Seira> roll 1d20+28 fly, charge, impromptu SA
06[20:50] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+28 fly, charge, impromptu SA and gets 38." [1d20=10]
01[20:51] <Seira> roll 3d8+11+5d8 good
06[20:51] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 3d8+11+5d8 good and gets 44." [3d8=7, 3, 4][5d8=1, 3, 6, 8, 1]
01[20:51] <Seira> Though she could easily tumble out of the way, Seira decides to support Alicia further and remain in melee.
[20:52] <Kotono> The molydeus is stabbed in the bakc, Seira plunging the resort deep into it! Yet it staggers and lives yet! OOC: Alicia.
[20:54] <Alicia> Hoping against hope that this will prove decisive, Alicia flicks her sword out to sever the snake from its ravaged but freakishly healing neck, before she reverses and plunges the blade into its gut, raking upwards to shatter apart the molydeus's ribcage and organs!
[20:54] <Alicia> roll 1d20+33 divine might, 6th and 4th and 3rd level arcane strike, bracers
06[20:54] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+33 divine might, 6th and 4th and 3rd level arcane strike, bracers and gets 39." [1d20=6]
[20:54] <Alicia> roll 1d20+33 divine might, 6th and 4th and 3rd level arcane strike, bracers
06[20:54] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+33 divine might, 6th and 4th and 3rd level arcane strike, bracers and gets 40." [1d20=7]
[20:54] <Alicia> roll 1d20+28 divine might, 6th and 4th and 3rd level arcane strike, bracers
06[20:54] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+28 divine might, 6th and 4th and 3rd level arcane strike, bracers and gets 32." [1d20=4]
[20:55] <Alicia> roll 1d20+23 divine might, 6th and 4th and 3rd level arcane strike, bracers
06[20:55] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+23 divine might, 6th and 4th and 3rd level arcane strike, bracers and gets 34." [1d20=11]
[20:55] <Kotono> OOC: One hit. Better hope it counts.
[20:55] <Alicia> roll 1d8+25+13d4
06[20:55] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d8+25+13d4 and gets 72." [1d8=7][13d4=3, 2, 4, 3, 4, 2, 2, 4, 4, 4, 3, 1, 4]
[20:58] <Kotono> With one last, desperate lunge, Alicia stabs into it's front! It meets Seira's sword in the back! Together, the two surge up, ripping out it's chest! The molydeus staggers, it's snake head thrashing and screetching as it's wolf's head howls! In a gush of infernal flame, it's body collapses! It's axe melts into a foul black ichor, leaving behind only some bloodied with cloth, a ring, a pair of metal bracers and a small sack.
[20:58] <Kotono> leaving behind only some bloodied with cloth, a ring, a pair of metal bracers and a small sack.
[20:58] <Kotono> OOC: Free act.
06[20:58] * Seira stares at the ichor for a moment, before laughing haltingly.
06[20:58] * Alicia sags in relief, leaning back against the wall and catching her breath. "Damn... that was a hell of a fight..."
[20:59] <Kotono> "What was that?" Donald trots up, looking about, "Any more of them?"
01[21:00] <Seira> "One was enough," Seira tells him, picking up Hell Striker and carrying it over to Alicia.
[21:00] <Alicia> "That was the Molydeus the succubus mentioned. It seems it didn't care to go far after escaping," Alicia replies tiredly, flicking the blood off her sword before sheathing it and gratefully accepting her primary weapon from Seira.
01[21:01] <Seira> "Makes me wonder why not," Seira admits, before glancing at the cells. "And whether the prisoners here managed to run away or not."
[21:01] <Kotono> Poking what it left behind with his sword, "I gathered it spent it's days tormenting the eladrin," Donald's blade gets a soft clinking sound on hitting the sack, "They're all bad off."
01[21:02] <Seira> "If there's any who need immediate healing, I can provide that," Seira offers.
[21:02] <Alicia> "Lets get them out of here, we can sort through that junk after," Alicia gestures at the debris left behind and draws herself up, heading back towards the 'eladrin service' room.
[21:02] <Kotono> The eladrin are seen not in it, but outside of it in the hall. There they wait, ragged but alive. Alicia finds the 'eladrin service' room is empty now.
06[21:03] * Seira waves at them. "So how does it feel to be free after all that time?"
[21:03] <Kotono> From far away, you can hear a scream of some sort, echoing.
06[21:03] * Alicia starts at the scream, looking around to try and tell where it came from.
[21:03] <Kotono> The firre limps, "We owe you, dragon and angel," With a long nod, "AS well as you elves."
[21:03] <Kotono> It sounds like it came from back the way you came, back out where Deme and Polly are.
01[21:03] <Seira> "There weren't two of them, right?" Seira asks warily. "Because that wouldn't be fair."
[21:04] <Alicia> "Hold on, it sounds like there's more trouble," Alicia remarks, jogging back the way they came with her sword at the ready.
01[21:04] <Seira> "Let's get you all back before something nasty shows up again," Seira tells the eladrin for her part, intending to guard them for long enough to get them out. "Can you return home on your own?"
[21:04] <Kotono> "Just the one," The firre responds, "We've only ever seen one."
[21:05] <Kotono> "I can get us home," The firre speaks up.
[21:05] <Kotono> Jogging back, Alicia reaches near the door when she hears another shout. Sounds like Demedais calling, asking if you need help. It's still muffled.
[21:06] <Alicia> "We're fine!" Alicia yells back, before going back to tend to the injured celestials.
01[21:06] <Seira> "It's best that you do," Seira tells him, glancing towards the direction Alicia left in. "If you ever feel like visiting, Balmuria by the Bay of the Sparkling Stars is it. Very easy to find, nice place all around. Come when you've all recoverd!"
[21:07] <Kotono> The celestials are all injured. A courre lands on Alicia's head, whimpering.
[21:07] <Kotono> Amaryl holds another in her arms, "Shh," she soothes, "We'll help you and get you home."
[21:08] <Alicia> "Come on, the antimagic ends a little bit this way, we'll get you all healed up," Alicia reassures, reaching up to steady the wounded eladrin on her head as she walks back to where the weave reasserts itself.
[21:08] <Kotono> "I'll remember that. All of us, we owe you something for our freedom. So long denied...bastards." The firre whispers, "Strange beings for the mortal world, though."
01[21:08] <Seira> "Yeah, I guess it's a bit strange," Seira agrees, helping the weaker of the eladrin along gently.
[21:09] <Alicia> "It's a disgrace that no one cared to come and rescue you before now," Alicia opines viciously.
[21:09] <Kotono> OOC: Going back out to where Deme is or just to the hall
[21:09] <Kotono> ?
[21:09] <Alicia> OOC: back to where magic comes back
01[21:09] <Seira> OOC: The same spot our devas left from
[21:09] <Kotono> The party returns back to where magic reasserts wtihout incident.
06[21:10] * Alicia bestows a little healing on the coure atop her head before looking to see who else needs the most help.
[21:11] <Alicia> roll 2d4+2
06[21:11] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 2d4+2 and gets 4." [2d4=1, 1]
[21:14] <Kotono> The coure's wounds are somewhat mended by Alicia's touch. All the celestials need a fair bit of healing, really.
01[21:14] <Seira> "Need a recharge for that?" Seira asks Alicia.
[21:15] <Alicia> "Wouldn't hurt," Alicia replies. "Likewise if any of you have spell like abilities you can target on me I can convert it into healing energy," she then tells the celestials.
[21:15] <Alicia> OOC: howsabout we handwave the healing, since surely at least one of them has an at-will SLA they can tank me up on
[21:16] <Alicia> OOC: nevermind that
01[21:16] <Seira> roll 1d20+17 remove curse
06[21:16] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+17 remove curse and gets 32." [1d20=15]
01[21:16] <Seira> roll 1d20+17 water breathing
06[21:16] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+17 water breathing and gets 36." [1d20=19]
01[21:17] <Seira> OOC: lvl4, lvl3
[21:17] <Alicia> OOC: lets say 25 spellfire levels are distributed amongst the group (average of 2hp each) to take the edge off according to who needs it most
[21:17] <Kotono> OOC: Okay.
01[21:18] <Seira> roll 1d20+17 spider climb
06[21:18] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+17 spider climb and gets 22." [1d20=5]
01[21:18] <Seira> roll 1d100
06[21:18] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d100 and gets 38." [1d100=38]
[21:19] <Kotono> Seira casts spider climb! Instead, bowls of soup and bowls ofw ater appear!
06[21:19] * Seira giggles at the sight, after staring at it in disbelief for a long moment.
[21:19] <Alicia> "Well... anyone hungry?" Alicia hazards.
[21:20] <Kotono> The firre laughs helplessly, "No, I'll wait a little longer. Do any of you need a heal spell? I can invoke as such once."
01[21:20] <Seira> "I'm good," Seira says, waving off his concerns.
[21:20] <Kotono> Donald picks one up and drinks down the water. "It's not bad. Cold."
01[21:21] <Seira> "I can breathe fire on it. Hold very still, Donald."
[21:21] <Alicia> "The Molydeus did land a few blows, it would help," Alicia nods. "No telling what other unfriendly prisoners we might run into down here."
[21:21] <Kotono> Thus, Alicia is attempted to be healed!
[21:21] <Kotono> roll 1d20+12
06[21:21] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+12 and gets 18." [1d20=6]
[21:21] <Kotono> roll 1d100 uh oh.
06[21:21] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d100 uh oh. and gets 88." [1d100=88]
[21:22] <Kotono> roll 2d20 damage, DR applies to this.
06[21:22] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 2d20 damage, DR applies to this. and gets 36." [2d20=18, 18]
[21:22] <Kotono> A giant metal anvil appears in the air, slamming right into Alicia's head! It cracks the top of her head open, agony flaring through!
01[21:22] <Seira> "Let's, ah, stop while we're ahead," Seira says diplomatically, wincing.
[21:22] <Kotono> "W...what?!" The firre turns deathly pale, "Sorry!"
01[21:23] <Seira> roll 1d20+17 CLW on Alicia, no anvils please
06[21:23] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+17 CLW on Alicia, no anvils please and gets 29." [1d20=12]
01[21:23] <Seira> roll 3d8+15
06[21:23] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 3d8+15 and gets 32." [3d8=8, 5, 4]
[21:23] <Kotono> OOC: There was also a courre on your head, thinking about it. I'll give the poor thing a reflex save, too.
[21:23] <Alicia> OOC: it should've taken off after I healed it
01[21:24] <Seira> OOC: Also, meant CSW, of course, I lack CLW
[21:24] <Kotono> OOC: Oh, okay.
[21:24] <Alicia> "Aooow!" Alicia cries, buckling and falling to her knees at the sudden unexpected impact, a hand gingerly going to the goose-egg she's developing there, which thankfully dies down at Seira's healing. "I... didn't expect that..." she winces.
[21:25] <Kotono> "Did anyone?" The courre that was until just recently on Alicia's head, "An ANVIL?"
[21:25] <Alicia> "Wild magic is such a hateful concept," Alicia grimaces as she picks herself up. "Hopefully it won't interfere with your attempts to return home."
02[21:25] * Demedais (~ferixstad@adsl-76-253-127-193.dsl.klmzmi.sbcglobal.net) Quit (Ping timeout)
[21:26] <Kotono> "I hope so as well," With that, the firre attempts to get all the eladrin home!
[21:26] <Kotono> roll 1d20+12
06[21:26] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+12 and gets 25." [1d20=13]
01[21:26] <Seira> "We could attempt to teleport them out in groups, if so," Seira suggests to Alicia.
[21:26] <Kotono> Luck is with them, for they all vanish away!
[21:27] <Alicia> "Seems we don't need it," Alicia looks relieved. "Anyway, there's still more rooms of horrors for us to check. And we'd better grab all the junk that demon left behind. Shall we?"
[21:28] <Kotono> OOC: Which one first?
01[21:28] <Seira> "Sure," Seira agrees, before frowning. "About what I said earlier. You don't think that freak ate the archons or anything, do you?"
[21:28] <Alicia> OOC: I'll just grab the loot and shove it in the portable hole. What rooms are left?
01[21:28] <Seira> OOC: Mechanus
06[21:29] * Alicia has a look at the cages in the archon room. Do they look broken from the inside or outside?
01[21:29] <Seira> OOC: The rooms are the following 'Yugoloth Examination Chambers' 'Diabolical Dissections' 'Inevitable Mechanicals' 'Slaadi Amorphic Display' 'Beastlands Zoo' 'Celestial Alterations' 'Archonic Harvesting' 'Eladrin Service' 'Interbreeding categories' and 'Studies room'
01[21:29] <Seira> "I mean, I found some blood," Seira mutters. "Could have been from the experiments...."
[21:30] <Kotono> OOC: You've been to Celestial Alternations, the abyssal room Seira forgot to paste, archonic harvesting and now eladrin services.
01[21:30] <Seira> OOC: Didn't forget, you had it in a different line >_>
[21:31] <Kotono> The cages look broken from the outside.
[21:31] <Alicia> "You might be right, but that just means they'll have reformed in Celestia," Alicia tells Seira. "It's still an escape, and better than what those left behind here got."
06[21:32] * Seira nods sadly, and proceeds to the door marked Inevitable Mechanicals, not wishing to deal with fiends again so soon.
[21:34] <Kotono> Inside, you find a great wall of gears. Clockwork walls, made of iron and metal, running smooth and eternal. Six voices speak as once as the party enters, "Hello."
01[21:35] <Seira> "Hi!" Seira returns, not letting her honed prejudice show. "We're here to free you, if you'd like to be freed."
[21:36] <Alicia> Is there even anything to be freed? It just looks like a bunch of cogs to Alicia...
[21:36] <Kotono> "We are not imprisoned." Indeed, it looks like merely cogs and clockwork. "There is no need to free us."
[21:37] <Alicia> "What... who, are you?" Alicia asks, looking around curiously.
06[21:37] * Seira is tempted to ask if it's fun to be that way for eternity, but instead voices, "Anything we could do for you, then?"
[21:38] <Kotono> "We are. We are and will always be. We need nothing."
01[21:39] <Seira> "Can you tell us anything about this place or its defenses, perhaps, then?"
[21:40] <Kotono> "There is one that is free in this place. A demon that calls itself a molydeus, with a snake and a wolf's head. However, most of the defenses are down thanks to the failure of magic within."
06[21:41] * Alicia tries a different tack. "What is your purpose?" she asks
[21:41] <Alicia> .
01[21:41] <Seira> "At least there was only the one," Seira mutters.
[21:41] <Kotono> "We are to be studied. Our purpose is to be studied."
01[21:42] <Seira> "I won't bother you much, but a somewhat related question from me? I've been thinking of finding a way of making a mechanical body for my buddy Lagann. Do you think you could share the design with him? This close, he can probably link with your mind if you allow it."
03[21:42] * Taishyr (~ferixstad@24-247-220-129.dhcp.klmz.mi.charter.com) has joined #dunes
03[21:42] * ChanServ sets mode: +o Taishyr
03[21:43] * Taishyr is now known as Demedais
[21:49] <Kotono> At this, there is a silence. However, Lagann begins to twitch in Seira's possession, gears in the wall grinding.
06[21:49] * Alicia holds off on her follow up questions for now, letting things play out between the orb and the wall...
06[21:50] * Seira can't believe her luck, should this work out. She'd been talking about this with Elle on and off, but they hadn't really gotten a major breakthru as of yet on their own, only having a few ideas involving Lagann using his telekinesis on a body similar to an Inevitable.
[21:51] <Kotono> Another voice overlays the voice of the gears, chanting as one. "Kill...kill...kill...kill HIM!" Lagann grows hot in Seira's possession, "Give it to me...Kill him...my work...!"
[21:52] <Alicia> This... doesn't sound too promising. "Seira?" Alicia gives the half-dragon a questioning look, trusting her judgement regarding the metal-controlling orb.
01[21:56] <Seira> Seira's initial thought is to dart out of the room, but she decides to try and calm Lagann down, focusing her mind on his!
[21:56] <Kotono> OOC: Make an int check?
01[21:57] <Seira> roll 1d20+11
06[21:57] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+11 and gets 13." [1d20=2]
[21:57] <Kotono> roll 1d20+
06[21:57] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+ and gets Error: Check syntax." [1d20=4]
[21:57] <Kotono> OOC: Forgot the mod by mistake, but you won.
[21:58] <Kotono> The voices calm. Speaking without the overlaying one once more, "It has been done, Master Yandrazrt."
06[21:59] * Alicia relaxes as things seem to settle down.
06[21:59] * Seira sighs in relief. "Thanks. I appreciate it, honestly!"
[22:00] <Kotono> "Weird," Donald mutters.
[22:00] <Kotono> "We exist to be studied," The voices repeat.
[22:00] <Alicia> With Lagann dealt with, Alicia addresses the gears. "What is the purpose of studying you?"
[22:02] <Kotono> "We were created with the knowledge of Master Yandrazrt. We are to be studied to gain an understanding of the clockworks of Mechanus and it's metalline powers."
[22:03] <Alicia> "What understanding has been revealed through studying you?" Alicia follows up from that opening.
[22:03] <Kotono> "None have completed a study of us," They answer.
[22:04] <Alicia> Well, so much for that. Seeing that no one else has anything to ask, Alicia shrugs and heads out. "Which room next?" she asks Seira.
01[22:05] <Seira> "How about the 'Studies Room'?" Seira suggests, pointing it out. "Hopefully it's not tasteless."
[22:05] <Alicia> "A forlorn hope if ever I heard one," Alicia remarks dourly, going to open said door.
[22:06] <Kotono> Inside, you find an empty room. Besides for a single glass prism lying on a single table in the room, there is nothing of note here at all.
[22:06] <Alicia> Alicia's eyes glow blue as she regards the prism...
[22:07] <Alicia> roll 1d20+17 CL arcane sight
06[22:07] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+17 CL arcane sight and gets 19." [1d20=2]
[22:07] <Alicia> roll 1d100 or not
06[22:07] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d100 or not and gets 32." [1d100=32]
[22:07] <Kotono> Alicia vanishes from view!...except for Seira, who can still see the invisible paladin.
06[22:08] * Alicia sighs vocally and tries again. "Don't worry, I'm still here," she reassures the others.
[22:08] <Alicia> rolll 1d20+17
06[22:08] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+17 and gets 37." [1d20=20]
[22:08] <Kotono> This time it works! The prism radiates magic.
[22:08] <Alicia> roll 1d20+10 spellcraft (strength?)
06[22:08] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+10 spellcraft (strength?) and gets 27." [1d20=17]
[22:09] <Alicia> "Hmm... illusion. Could be a spellgem, perhaps?" Alicia wanders over and picks the prism up.
[22:10] <Kotono> Holding the prism, Alicia can see images inside. Images of angels and demons, of slaadi and inevitables. They winkle inside.
06[22:10] * Seira approaches the prism Alicia is holding. "Could be a control gem, too, like the one we found in other gnomish ruins."
[22:11] <Alicia> "Or a scrying gem? No, wait, that'd be divination..." Focusing on the images, Alicia tries to follow the angels and see exactly what the gem is showing regarding them.
[22:12] <Kotono> As Alicia thinks on angels, the prism emits light! Around the room, images of angels spring up! They are diagrammed and rotate slowly. It shows body types and has notes in gnomish. Seira can see that it's information on how celestials are composed, from physical to spiritual and everything in between with them. It is currently explaining how a half human/half angel hybrid functions. For example, this female specimin has extra veins running int
[22:12] <Kotono> For example, this female specimin has extra veins running into her wings, but not nearly enough. The very nature of the wings is enough to make t hem work, regardless of biology.
[22:14] <Alicia> "Oh!" Alicia blinks, looking around at the illusory diagrams. "That is interesting... lets see, how about...?" she changes her mindset, now thinking of pit fiends and trying to pick out one inside the gem to focus on.
[22:17] <Kotono> The image of a pit fiend appears! Seira can read that it's body is composed primarily of hatred and an insaitiable need to dominate. It's blood is made of concentrated contempt for lesser beings. It has nine glands within it's body, each holding an element of sin. From these, poison flows into it's mouth. It's heart is nine chambered, ethereal and yet always there. Within it's heart beats an uncontrollable design to dominate, to kill to enslav
[22:17] <Kotono> Within it's heart beats an uncontrollable design to dominate, to kill to enslave.
[22:20] <Alicia> "This is fascinating," Alicia remarks, studying it for a moment before she takes her attention off the gem and pockets it. "I doubt the subjects were examined voluntarily, but it's certainly more intuitive than a book. We'll have to see if we can copy the design... anyway," she shakes her head, aware that she's gotten distracted, "Shall we move on?"

Corwin · March 28, 2012, 03:22:28 PM

01[20:18] <Seira> "Why not?" Seira responds, going over their options briefly. "There was some kind of zoo, so let's try it next?"
[20:21] <Kotono> The party heads to the 'zoo'. In particular, the Beastlands Zoo. The door to it is like the others, nothing immediately identifying it as out of sorts.
06[20:21] * Seira opens it, peering inside.
[20:25] <Kotono> Inside are rows of cages. It's dark here, dark and silent and quiet. On a glance, many of the cells are destroyed. Inside lie bones and rubble and little else. What once lay within can be hinted at, for each cage has a little written plaque besides it.
06[20:26] * Alicia walks down the row of cages, her arcane-seeing eyes scanning them all for any activity within or around.
06[20:26] * Seira enters for an inspection of the premises. Something may still be hiding, or managed to escape their cells, and it would be good to know what they might face.
[20:27] <Kotono> There's no magic about that Alicia can see. OOC: Feel free to make a search check, Seira?
01[20:27] <Seira> roll 1d20+27
06[20:27] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+27 and gets 31." [1d20=4]
01[20:27] <Seira> OOC: Actually +2
[20:29] <Kotono> There were once things such as celestial creatures, unicorns, pegasus and other such magical, good aligned animals. But none seem to have survived. In the back is a little door, not hidden, but very easy to miss, between two empty cages.
06[20:30] * Seira waves everyone over, examining the door for traps.
01[20:30] <Seira> roll 1d20+29
06[20:30] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+29 and gets 47." [1d20=18]
[20:31] <Kotono> The door is not trapped.
06[20:32] * Seira gets it open, wondering what might lie past it. The caretaker's office, perhaps?
[20:35] <Kotono> Inside is a nicely kept office. On the back is a bisected map of some sort. A desk is broken down the middle, a great scorch mark in the center. Beyond the rubble of the desk, several bookshelves are lined up. One of the shelves is broken, a few of the books burnt, but many intact. On the side walls, amid shattered glass cases, a few survive. Inside of them are things such as floating eyeballs, hearts floating in transparent blood, golden skin
[20:35] <Kotono> hearts floating in transparent blood, golden skin stretched out on a metal plate, a clump of fur that sparkles like polished mithral and other such things.
06[20:36] * Seira shakes her head in open disbelief. "So that guardian or his allies got this far, and then just left, while leaving everyone here as slaves for two thousand years?!"
[20:37] <Kotono> "I'd expect better," Donald grouses and goes to kick a chunk of destroyed desk, "I wonder what self righteous answer it has? 'It was my duty?'"
[20:38] <Alicia> "No wardens or jailers... simple apathy kept those people trapped here," Alicia notes sadly. "It really is a disgrace."
01[20:38] <Seira> "The whole working in mysterious ways bullshit again, probably. And how doing more would just invite evil to do the same," Seira mutters. "Well, at least we have our chance to set things right."
[20:38] <Kotono> "There must have been a good reason." Amaryl murmurs as she hangs back, eyes taking in the various glass-displayed samples. "I wonder...was it for whomever finally came here after the Resort?"
01[20:39] <Seira> "It's easy enough to justify their actions," Seira admits, "but I think it's rather telling we all think there is a need for a reason. Or that none of us would've let this stand."
[20:40] <Kotono> "It's a disgrace. Whomever set this up deserves a steel armor clad kick in his treasure chest." Donald runs a hand down his helmeted head, "Say, you know..." Looking ot Seira, "I wonder if that is the point. That we won't let it stand, that is."
01[20:40] <Seira> roll 1d20+14 planes, just what eyes are here?
06[20:40] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+14 planes, just what eyes are here? and gets 32." [1d20=18]
[20:40] <Alicia> "For all we know it was followers of Bane or Cyric that were responsible for destroying this outpost," Alicia points out. "It's possible they just didn't care and never told anyone who would have cared about who was left behind. Those devas and eladrin had to have friends back home, they wouldn't have left them if they'd known, I'm sure of it."
01[20:40] <Seira> "Wouldn't they have freed the fiends to use as minions?"
[20:41] <Alicia> "Demons make poor minions, for obvious reasons," Alicia replies. "Plus many of those types would simply rationalise that anyone captured is too incompetent to be worth their time."
[20:42] <Kotono> "Unless it's a pretty succubus who has found true love and the light," Donald mutters under his breath, nkeeling down to start picking through the desk-rubble.
01[20:42] <Seira> It sounds like another excuse, but Seira is willing to entertain it until more evidence either way. "I'll check once we have more time," she promises, helping Donald look through things.
01[20:42] <Seira> roll 1d20+29 search
06[20:42] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+29 search and gets 42." [1d20=13]
[20:43] <Kotono> roll 1d20+3 Donald aids search
06[20:43] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+3 Donald aids search and gets 15." [1d20=12]
[20:43] <Kotono> OOC: Amaryl will take ten to boost up your result by another +2 as well.
01[20:43] <Seira> OOC: You need to roll to aid
[20:43] <Kotono> roll 1d20+10
06[20:43] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+10 and gets 13." [1d20=3]
[20:45] <Kotono> You don't find much in the desk of note. However, there is a scroll within. Unfurling it, you find it to be a small but beautifully painted scene. A trackless forest, wild animals cavorting and roaming free. It's rather well drawn.
06[20:46] * Seira can't quite see Alicia but knows she is around, and holds the drawing up. "Is it magical, by chance?"
06[20:46] * Alicia looks to see.
[20:46] <Alicia> "No. It's nice, though," Alicia replies, studying the painting.
[20:47] <Alicia> roll 1d20+22 (+2 if we're not in the antimagic) planes
06[20:47] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+22 (+2 if we're not in the antimagic) planes and gets 31." [1d20=9]
[20:48] <Kotono> "I sort of like it," Amaryl murmurs, "Seira, wouldn't it look nice if we hung it up?"
[20:48] <Alicia> "Looks like the Beastlands - I've never been, but I've seen pictures, and it fits for where we are," she adds.
01[20:48] <Seira> "It is a very nice scene," Seira agrees. "Let's bring it back, then."
[20:49] <Kotono> Meanwhile, Donald meanders over to the books. He takes an unburnt one out and starts to read it. "The Ecology of Heavens Touched Wolves - Pack Habits Related To Ritual Summonings." He reads aloud.
[20:50] <Alicia> "You can read that?" Alicia asks, wandering over to join Donald.
[20:50] <Kotono> "It's in Celestial," He answers, passing the book over to Alicia. "The shorty here probably killed an innocent angel to get it."
[20:51] <Alicia> "Wouldn't surprise me," Alicia nods, opening up the portable hole and putting all the intact books inside. "Want to put the painting in here as well for safe keeping?" she asks Seira.
06[20:52] * Seira gravitates towards the books as well, glancing at them. At Alicia's question, she nods, and then hesitates. "Would you mind storing that eye there as well?" she requests, pointing out the jar with a blink dog eye. "I've needed one for a ritual for the longest time, and kept on putting off asking an actual blink dog for help. Now I won't have to."
[20:53] <Alicia> "Fixing that portal to the elemental plane of water?" Alicia asks, nodding as she takes the jar and puts it inside as well.
06[20:54] * Seira nods. "It's about time I finally got around to it, now that this issue has finally been settled."
06[20:54] * Seira claps her hands. "Now, then! How about a visit to the frogs?"
[20:54] <Kotono> As Alicia gathers up the books, it revels a little cache in the back of on eof the shelves. An obvious little nook, with a little handle to open it up.
06[20:54] * Alicia opens the nook, naturally!
06[20:55] * Seira pauses, in disbelief at failing to notice something so obvious.
06[20:57] * Seira spends a bit of time to search the rest of the room, since she had clearly missed something!
01[20:57] <Seira> OOC: I could take 20 for 49, if someone aids it's 50+?
06[20:57] * Alicia lets Seira check it for traps.
[20:57] <Alicia> OOC: don't take 20!
[20:58] <Alicia> OOC: we have buffs that could run out!
01[20:58] <Seira> OOC: I'll defer to you, sure
01[20:58] <Seira> roll 1d20+29 search traps
06[20:58] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+29 search traps and gets 42." [1d20=13]
01[20:58] <Seira> roll 1d20+29 search everything
06[20:58] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+29 search everything and gets 46." [1d20=17]
[20:59] <Kotono> Searching about, Seira finds the nook is indeed trapped. Further, she finds a small pile of loose coins behind one shelf. Just a few of them, really.
01[20:59] <Seira> roll 1d20+30 DD
06[20:59] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+30 DD and gets 34." [1d20=4]
[21:00] <Kotono> Click! As Seira works on the trap, her hands slip and trip it! A moment later, a great shock of electricity travels through her body! OOC: Fort, Seira.
01[21:01] <Seira> roll 1d20+21
06[21:01] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+21 and gets 35." [1d20=14]
[21:01] <Kotono> roll 10d6 full damage but no other ill effect, you passed th esave.
06[21:01] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 10d6 full damage but no other ill effect, you passed th esave. and gets 37." [10d6=3, 4, 3, 1, 5, 4, 2, 6, 5, 4]
06[21:02] * Seira twitches, jerking her hand away.
[21:02] <Kotono> "Hey, Seira!" Donald approaches her carefully, "I can just bash it open if it's electric?"
01[21:03] <Seira> "No trap is allowed to get the better of me," Seira seethes, trying again.
[21:03] <Alicia> "That might break what's inside," Alicia tells Donald.
01[21:03] <Seira> roll 1d20+30 DD#2
06[21:03] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+30 DD#2 and gets 31." [1d20=1]
[21:03] <Kotono> Click! As Seira works on the trap, her hands slip and trip it again! A moment later, a great shock of electricity travels through her body! OOC: Fort, Seira. Again.
[21:04] <Kotono> roll 1d20+11
06[21:04] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+11 and gets 19." [1d20=8]
[21:04] <Kotono> roll 1d100
06[21:04] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d100 and gets 57." [1d100=57]
[21:05] <Kotono> roll 1d100 Reroll.
06[21:05] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d100 Reroll. and gets 30." [1d100=30]
[21:05] <Kotono> This time, however, colored streamers spray out over Seira!
06[21:05] * Alicia raises an eyebrow at the display but refrains from comment.
06[21:06] * Seira gets everyone to step back and does likewise, trying to disable the trap from a safer distance!
[21:06] <Kotono> "Wild magic? Useful?" Donald laugh sa little as he watches Seira work!
01[21:06] <Seira> roll 1d20+25 DD, ranged legerdemain, 30ft
06[21:06] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+25 DD, ranged legerdemain, 30ft and gets 37." [1d20=12]
[21:07] <Kotono> SEira fiddles with it from afar! She can't quite undo it, but it doesn't rip this time, either.
06[21:07] * Seira palms her face. "Amaryl, can I have the amulet for a moment? Just in case."
[21:07] <Kotono> Amaryl hands over the amulet. "Careful," she says.
06[21:08] * Seira puts it on, and then tries again.
01[21:08] <Seira> roll 1d20+30
06[21:08] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+30 and gets 44." [1d20=14]
[21:08] <Kotono> Click! This time the trap is undone!
06[21:10] * Seira searches for yet more traps!
01[21:10] <Seira> roll 1d20+29
06[21:10] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+29 and gets 38." [1d20=9]
[21:10] <Kotono> There are no more traps.
06[21:10] * Seira takes a look of what's beyond the nasty, disabled trap!
[21:13] <Kotono> Inside the cubby hole is the following: A statue of a golden jaguar, cast in solid-soft gold; a small set of colorful glass vials; a three-set of tokens like the ones the party carries; a small book about the size of a girl's diary.
06[21:13] * Alicia looks them all over for magic.
[21:14] <Alicia> "Vials are magic potions," Alicia comments.
01[21:15] <Seira> "If the tokens read the same, we can bring Demedais and Pollyanna over?" Seira suggests. "Unless it would cut into their private time. Donald, you go and ask them."
[21:15] <Kotono> Donald takes the tokens and departs away.
06[21:15] * Alicia puts everything in the portable hole, except the three tokens which are given to Donald. And the diary which she gives to Seira, "Check if it says anything relevant?" she asks.
01[21:15] <Seira> "I wonder whether he'd really ask them."
06[21:16] * Seira dutifully reads from the diary as she ponders that.
06[21:16] * Alicia starts to wander back into the main hallway as Seira skims the book.
06[21:16] * Seira is there to point out the evil frog door.
[21:17] <Kotono> Inside of the book are writings in gnomish. It looks to be poems, writings and reflections of the glories of the God-King, slayer of the False Gods, the True One that shall cast down the Gods and ascend into the starry sky.
06[21:17] * Alicia opens the door as requested, leading the way in.
01[21:19] <Seira> "A little fangirl wrote this," Seira comments, placing the diary away. "It's somewhat disturbing."
[21:19] <Kotono> As Alicia goes to that door, Demedais, Donald and Pollyanna approach.
06[21:20] * Seira uses the chance to return the amulet to Amaryl, as its purpose had been served.
[21:20] <Demedais> "So where is everyone?" Demedais muses.
[21:21] <Alicia> "We're... right here?" Alicia replies, turning briefly back from the open door to regard Demedais before she returns her attention back inside lest a giant frog suddenly leap out at her.
01[21:21] <Seira> "Everyone?"
[21:22] <Demedais> "Eh? Heard Alicia, don't see her. You at the door, then?" Demedais muses, stepping up to just a bit away from the door and peering in.
01[21:23] <Seira> "She has a slight case of being invisible."
[21:23] <Kotono> Inside the room, you see... a horizon that stretches on forever. No, you see a whirling black void...no, you see a sunrise-bright sky...no, you see a mother and child mourning a lost husband...no, you see a cat and dog, procreating...no, you see a silver rainbow droplet cake...no, you see a dozen frogs singing a poem to ever shifting names...no, you see griffons dancing with lemures...no, you see a little girl building a castle out of living h
[21:23] <Kotono> .no, you see griffons dancing with lemures...no, you see a little girl building a castle out of living human ears, whispering into them...no, you see..you see...you see everything. OOC: Make will saves, all.
[21:23] <Alicia> roll 1d20+27
06[21:23] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+27 and gets 39." [1d20=12]
01[21:23] <Seira> roll 1d20+26 dammit, frogs!
06[21:24] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+26 dammit, frogs! and gets 31." [1d20=5]
[21:24] <Demedais> roll 1d20+21 (+5 if I still have mindarmor uses and this is mind-affecting)
06[21:24] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+21 (+5 if I still have mindarmor uses and this is mind-affecting) and gets 23." [1d20=2]
[21:24] <Kotono> roll 1d20+9 It is mind effecting, so 28 for Deme.
06[21:24] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+9 It is mind effecting, so 28 for Deme. and gets 18." [1d20=9]
[21:24] <Kotono> roll 1d20+9 Polly
06[21:24] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+9 Polly and gets 11." [1d20=2]
[21:25] <Kotono> roll 1d20+11 Amaryl
06[21:25] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+11 Amaryl and gets 26." [1d20=15]
[21:27] <Kotono> Donald stares into it, hands twitching. "Oh yes...so many...possibilities..." (More)
[21:27] <Kotono> Pollyanna stares into it, a look of naseau passing over her face. But she can't seem to look away, captivated. (More)
[21:28] <Kotono> Amaryl blushes as she stares into it, "It's like a dream, when you imagine you can see so much more than you can."
01[21:29] <Seira> "It's disgusting, and there's nothing here to interest me," Seira says with a frown. "Let's move on? At this point, I'd rather see a devil."
[21:30] <Alicia> "It's horrible," Alicia frowns. "Without meaning or form... Mystra, hear me, let the unbound chaos before me be made plain, its wasteful magic undone!" she finishes with an incantation, gesturing with finality into the room.
[21:30] <Demedais> "WE. ARE GOING. TO BURN IT. WITH FIRE." Demedais growls. "Seira, please assist." With that and a gesture, a wall of water slams straight up into the room, obscuring steam and boiling water rising! OOC: CL check?
[21:30] <Alicia> OOC: CL for dispel magic?
[21:30] <Demedais> OOC: Let Alicia resolve first, Deme will hold his.
[21:31] <Kotono> OOC: Yes, Alicia.
[21:31] <Alicia> roll 1d20+16 wild magic CL
06[21:31] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+16 wild magic CL and gets 19." [1d20=3]
[21:31] <Alicia> roll 1d100 hate
06[21:31] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d100 hate and gets 63." [1d100=63]
[21:32] <Kotono> roll 2d10
06[21:32] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 2d10 and gets 14." [2d10=8, 6]
[21:35] <Kotono> Rainbow light fills the room, refracting off the endless visions inside the room! It dazzles all briefly then passes.
[21:36] <Demedais> "Right. That failed." Demedais grumbles, before raising up the wall of water!
[21:36] <Demedais> roll 1d20+17 wild CL
06[21:36] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+17 wild CL and gets 26." [1d20=9]
[21:36] <Kotono> OOC: Roll fire damage? Assume full contact.
[21:37] <Demedais> roll 2d6+17
06[21:37] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 2d6+17 and gets 21." [2d6=2, 2]
06[21:37] * Seira frowns, but doesn't really have a good reason to reject Demedais's request out of hand. A fireball is ready to be summoned within the room, if Demedais's wall of boiling water doesn't do the job on its own.
[21:38] <Kotono> A wall of fire bursts into the images! AS it does, the images change! They become one - of a beautiful mountain-city over a burning silver-fire and purple sky. A sense of gentle peace can be seen, even as the wall ofw ater sizzles. Donald blinks hard, "What the hell was that?"
[21:38] <Demedais> "...Wait, this one's better." Demedais muses. "Maybe hitting it was the key to let us in? Still, it's obviously deception..."
06[21:39] * Alicia blinks a few times before she starts to laugh. "Hahaha! I was so foolish - I could no more impose order on chaos than hold back the sun!" she giggles merrily, before frowning at the display. "Hey, why's it staying like that all of a sudden? Maybe I did stop it... oooh, that's not good..."
01[21:39] <Seira> roll 1d20+16
06[21:39] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+16 and gets 36." [1d20=20]
06[21:39] * Demedais pauses at this, before looking to Alicia calmly. "Alicia? Are you alright?"
[21:39] <Kotono> "Alicia?" Pollyanna tears her gaze away from th eimage with a shuddering lurch, "What was that?"
01[21:40] <Seira> "Is the vision of Dweomerheart too overwhelming?" Seira inquires for her part.
06[21:41] * Alicia turns to regard Demedais with a wide smile. "Never better!" she replies gaily. She then leans close, regarding Demedais's head intently. "You should really grow your hair out, you know. You've shaved it as long as I've known you and it's getting boring... How about we swap? I'll shave my hair and you grow yours out!"
[21:41] <Demedais> "It's Dweomerheart?" Demedais asks, blinking before looking to Alicia again, checking for chaos.
01[21:41] <Seira> "Please don't," Seira says immediately.
[21:41] <Kotono> OOC: Alicia has Nondeteciton, remembeR? Make a caster level check.
[21:41] <Kotono> OOC: Also, is that an SP or an SU?
[21:42] <Demedais> "It's... not shaved, it's tonsured." Demedais says slowly, eyeing Alicia. OOC: Sp. I presume the CL check for it would... just be my level?
[21:42] <Kotono> OOC: It's from the paladin list, so it's an SP. Make a caster level check for wild magic first, yeah.
[21:42] <Kotono> OOC: Your paladin level.
[21:42] <Kotono> OOC: Or Prestige paladin level in this case.
01[21:43] <Seira> "What's the difference?" Seira asks curiously.
[21:43] <Kotono> "You? Bald?" Donald starts to laugh, before double-taking. "Wait a minute. Alicia, why would you even think about that?"
[21:43] <Demedais> roll 1d20+5 ah, right. Fuck, thought this would run off base level or something. Kay, wild magic~
06[21:43] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+5 ah, right. Fuck, thought this would run off base level or something. Kay, wild magic~ and gets 25." [1d20=20]
[21:43] <Kotono> OOC: success! Amazingly! CL check for nondetection on Alicia.
[21:43] <Demedais> roll 1d20+5 yeah, that was pure bulls***.
06[21:43] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+5 yeah, that was pure bulls***. and gets 9." [1d20=4]
[21:44] <Alicia> "Marie says I've been keeping my hair the same way for too long," Alicia turns to Donald, rubbing her loosely bound ebony tresses. "I even got it cut yesterday right after the wild magic grew it out... I really should listen to her, though. She's surprisingly perceptive, you know."
[21:44] <Kotono> "...uh...huh." Donald sharply look at Seira, "But bald? Really? Are you Demedais?"
[21:44] <Demedais> "Tonsured is- okay this conversation is pointless and you're calling Marie perceptive. We're going inside and resolving this."
01[21:44] <Seira> "And you're surprisingly succeptible to magic. Want to call it a day, or can you hold it together?"
06[21:47] * Alicia waves Seira off. "I've never felt better," she replies dismissively, before frowning. "Well... actually, that's a lie. I... I actually feel like I'm suddenly missing a lot." She focuses briefly but nothing happens, eliciting a snarl. "Bah, hardly anything works anymore! At least I still have my magic, though!"
[21:47] <Alicia> She proceeds to demonstrate by firing a barrage of magic missiles aimlessly down the hall towards the antimagic! Hopefully.
[21:47] <Alicia> OOC: CL for MM?
[21:47] <Kotono> OOC:Yes.
[21:47] <Alicia> roll 1d20+16
06[21:47] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+16 and gets 25." [1d20=9]
[21:47] <Kotono> Magic missiles fly off, vanishing when they hit the antimagic.
[21:47] <Demedais> "... You're missing a lot? Such as...?"
[21:48] <Kotono> "Common sense if you're firing those off at nothing?" Amaryl whimpers softly, "Alicia, are you sure you're okay?"
06[21:48] * Alicia grins happily at the rainbow coloured projectiles as they spiral dizzily away from her. "Oh, little things. I can't glow any more, and I feel a little bit off-balance. But it's refreshing, really," she insists.
01[21:48] <Seira> "Can you take us back?" Seira asks. "You helped fix my voice yesterday, I'll return the favor for you. It has to be temporary and removable."
[21:49] <Demedais> "... or it's something we need to stab whatever's in here for." Demedais curses.
[21:49] <Alicia> "Back? We just got here ten minutes ago!" Alicia insists. "There's still loads more to explore!"
06[21:50] * Seira tilts her head. "Rather than lamely pulling rank, take it as a request from a friend? This place won't run away."
[21:50] <Kotono> "I don't know. Say, Alicia." Donald smiles to her, "You're always teleporting us to that same oasis? How about you teleport us somewhere different entirely right now instead?"
06[21:51] * Demedais inhales sharply, waiting for Alicia to respond as he peers into the room, attempting to find some sort of source to this madness."
06[21:51] * Alicia looks thoughtful for a moment, before a smile starts to slowly split her face. "Donald you're a genius!" she grins, grabbing his head and pulling him in for a kiss full on the lips. Seperating quickly enough while he's hopefully still stunned, she extends her hands. "Gather round everyone, we're going on a trip!"
[21:52] <Kotono> You see a beautiful landscape, no sign of anything amiss of it at all. OOC: Make a spot check, Deme.
[21:52] <Demedais> roll 1d20+26 nothing amiss my left foot
06[21:52] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+26 nothing amiss my left foot and gets 34." [1d20=8]
06[21:52] * Seira takes Alicia's hand, looking mildly disturbed.
[21:52] <Kotono> Donald blushes hard at that, "A...Ali..." he tries, sputtering, "Wow."
[21:53] <Kotono> Pollyanna is at Demedais' sside, while Amaryl goes behind Alicia. "O..okay..."
[21:55] <Demedais> "This has to be deception... but damn if it isn't good." Demedais growls. "If it's showing Dweomerheart, that has to mean the spell and Alicia swapped... something, I guess? Since like hell you're normal right now, Alicia. As you said yourself, you're not feeling well." Swinging his spear out, he steps in very slightly, trying to feel out the floor with the tip of his spear.
06[21:56] * Alicia focuses intently on her mental image as she gestures towards Demedais. "Come on, Demedais, or I'll leave without you!" she sing-songs.
[21:56] <Kotono> The spear hits what seems to be solid ground. As he steps in, Demedais feels stepped in feelings of love, compassion, honor, justice and righteousness.
[21:56] <Kotono> *steeped
[21:56] <Kotono> "I'm not sure she's lying, either," Pollyanna whispers to Demedais, "Can we risk her going off and leaving us here?"
06[21:58] * Demedais pauses. "Can we risk going with her like this? ... We don't have a choice, do we. She's needed in all this, too, as much as right now..." A deep, resounding growl echoes from his throat, before he stalks outside with Pollyanna and slams the door shut. "Fine. Go, then, if you're willing to risk the teleport."
[21:58] <Demedais> *"Let's go, then"
[21:59] <Alicia> "Such a grouch," Alicia sighs. "Not to worry, this'll cheer you up! Lady of Mysteries, take us away! The place we're going, who's to say!" She chants. The fact that her mental image of a massive mountain-top high above the clouds is one she's never actually been to in this part of the world is entirely besides the point.
[21:59] <Alicia> roll 1d20+16 CL
06[21:59] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+16 CL and gets 18." [1d20=2]
[21:59] <Alicia> roll 1d100
06[21:59] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d100 and gets 33." [1d100=33]
[22:00] <Kotono> But instead of magic, a color spray gushes from Alicia's hands! OOC: I'll say it gets two people in it's spray. I'll determine randomly.
[22:00] <Kotono> roll 1d5
[22:00] <Kotono> roll 1d5
06[22:00] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d5 and gets 3." [1d5=3]
06[22:00] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d5 and gets 1." [1d5=1]
[22:00] <Kotono> OOC: Deme and Donald. Make an check for SR, Alicia.
[22:01] <Alicia> roll 1d20+16
06[22:01] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+16 and gets 22." [1d20=6]
[22:01] <Kotono> OOC: Deme's unaffected. Donald gets a will save.
[22:01] <Kotono> roll 1d20+9
06[22:01] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+9 and gets 17." [1d20=8]
[22:01] <Kotono> OOC: What's your cha mod, Alicia?
[22:01] <Alicia> OOC: +8
[22:01] <Kotono> The cone engulfs Demedais and Donald! It parts around Demedais, while Donald drops to his knees!
06[22:02] * Demedais immediately moves over to Donald. "Damnit... you okay?"
[22:02] <Alicia> "Whoops!" Alicia claps a hand to her mouth in surprise. "I didn't mean it!" she insists quickly.
[22:02] <Kotono> After a few seconds, Donald starts to pick up his things. "F-fine. It just surprised me."
01[22:02] <Seira> "Maybe it's because we're trying to go somewhere new," Seira mentions. "How about we try the oasis after all?"
[22:03] <Demedais> "... ... ..." Demedais closes his eyes and counts mentally as the group converses.
[22:03] <Kotono> "H-how about we go home?" Donald says, "You can catch up with Marie now, then? Plus maybe Antenora's back?" He rubs his face, "Maybe talking to someone different will be more fun?"
[22:05] <Demedais> "Excellent idea, let's do it." Demedais growls, almost down to a low roar.
06[22:05] * Alicia giggles lamely. "Okay, it didn't like that, let me try somewhere else?" she offers, focusing once more on the spell. This time she conjures up the image of an idyllic desert island, with pure white beaches and palm trees and such.
[22:05] <Alicia> roll 1d20+16 CL
06[22:05] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+16 CL and gets 26." [1d20=10]
[22:05] <Kotono> OOC: d100 then.
[22:05] <Kotono> OOC: For the TP.
[22:06] <Alicia> roll 1d20+80 false destination 81-92 similar area, 93-100 mishap and 1d10 damage plus roll again
06[22:06] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+80 false destination 81-92 similar area, 93-100 mishap and 1d10 damage plus roll again and gets 83." [1d20=3]
[22:07] <Kotono> Woosh! The party appears! Around you is the deep blue sea. You stand on a beach, palm trees about. The ocean surf leisurely crashes into the white sand beach. Behind you a mountain can be seen, a volcano surrounded by forest.
01[22:07] <Seira> "Not bad," Seira comments, taking in the sights. And casting Detect Magic, just in case it succeeds, before glancing at Alicia.
[22:07] <Kotono> "...oh. It actually worked?" Amaryl looks about, "It's...pretty."
01[22:07] <Seira> roll 1d20+16
06[22:08] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+16 and gets 31." [1d20=15]
[22:08] <Demedais> "You were thinking of home, correct?" Demedais asks Alicia, a low glare.
[22:08] <Kotono> "It's an island." Donald starts to pace about, sand crunching beneath his boots.
[22:08] <Kotono> OOC: What's the CL on nondetection for you, 20?
[22:08] <Alicia> "And the best part is, I have no idea where we are!" Alicia exclaims happily, spreading her arms and flapping her wings. "Isn't it exciting?"
[22:08] <Alicia> OOC: 20, so DC 35
[22:09] <Demedais> "Alicia?" Demedais says calmly. "Can you take us back to your place so you can go talk to Marie?"
[22:09] <Kotono> "So...ah...what are we going to DO here?" Pollyanna has a hand on her hip, "There's nothing to do here but cook in the sun."
[22:09] <Alicia> "I can talk to Marie any time," Alicia waves her hand negligently, flying up to a nearby tree and grabbing the fruits she finds. "Who wants a coconut?"
01[22:09] <Seira> "You lack imagination," Seira informs her. "But I'm with Demedais on this one, actually. I kinda want to get home."
06[22:10] * Demedais closes his eyes and begins counting again.
[22:11] <Alicia> Alicia's wings slow in their flapping as she glides to the ground, her eyes staring vacantly for a moment before a wince creases her expression. Putting a hand to her temple, she shakes her head slowly. "Oh, Mystra..." she groans in a soft voice.
[22:11] <Demedais> "Are you better now?" Demedais says calmly, looking to Alicia.
06[22:11] * Seira flashes over to Alicia. "Are you alright?" she asks worriedly.
[22:12] <Alicia> "Mmmm... no," Alicia returns after a moment's consideration, not looking up to risk meeting anyone's eyes. "Altogether I feel downright terrible, and incredibly foolish."
01[22:13] <Seira> "Foolish? For getting hit with magical recoil?" Seira scoffs at the idea.
06[22:14] * Demedais rubs head. "Since you were fine until you attempted to do the right thing by dispelling it... but yes, let's get everyone here home and figure out what must be done from there."
01[22:14] <Seira> "What must be done is enjoying this resort for a bit, before we actually return," Seira states firmlu.
[22:15] <Alicia> "Even if I was, I should have better control than that," Alicia murmurs. "Anyway, I could always take us back to the ruins so we could resume our search? There might still be others trapped there, after all."
01[22:15] <Seira> "Only if you're sure that you're fine after all that, and can manage to return today."
06[22:15] * Seira also uses the chance to restore some of Alicia's vitality back with a touch.
[22:15] <Kotono> roll 1d2
06[22:15] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d2 and gets 2." [1d2=2]
01[22:16] <Seira> roll 2d8+10
06[22:16] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 2d8+10 and gets 25." [2d8=7, 8]
[22:16] <Alicia> "Assuming no teleport mishaps I have enough to get us back there and then again home, but it'd be cutting things fine," Alicia admits.
06[22:16] * Demedais looks to Seira, than to Alicia. "Do you have the rest of your abilities back? Either way, I hate to sound callous, but they will not expire due to one more day there. We can handle things once you've recovered to full strength, and this gives us another chance to scry for the big oozecat anyway." Demedais replies.
01[22:16] <Seira> "We have one teleport as well in reserve, each," Seira says, nodding in Amaryl's direction. "That, at least, is no trouble."
[22:18] <Alicia> "Lets try going back now. If we miss we'll head straight home with the ones I have left?" Alicia suggests, looking up hesitantly.
[22:19] <Kotono> "I say it's up to Alicia since she does most of it," Donald agrees.
01[22:19] <Seira> "I'm good with that," Seira responds, before calling upon another spell. "Might as well recharge you a bit, right?"
[22:19] <Alicia> "Right... um, sorry Donald," Alicia doesn't quite meet the elf's eyes as she has everyone gather around once more.
06[22:19] * Demedais exhales slowly, before muttering under his breath. After a moment he nods to Alicia. "Very well, then."
01[22:20] <Seira> OOC: Spider climb, lvl2
[22:20] <Kotono> "Hey, you're a great kisser!" Donald grins ear to ear as he goes to take one of Alicia's hands. "If only she would, too..." He murmurs below his breath
[22:20] <Kotono> .
[22:20] <Alicia> roll 1d20+16 CL for teleport back?
06[22:20] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+16 CL for teleport back? and gets 19." [1d20=3]
[22:21] <Alicia> roll 1d100 bah
06[22:21] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d100 bah and gets 28." [1d100=28]
[22:22] <Kotono> OOC: Reroll.
[22:23] <Alicia> roll 1d100 bah x2
06[22:23] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d100 bah x2 and gets 41." [1d100=41]
[22:23] <Kotono> roll 1d6
06[22:23] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d6 and gets 2." [1d6=2]
[22:23] <Kotono> OOC: Deme, list me your non magical items in PM on you?
[22:24] <Kotono> roll 1d10
06[22:24] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d10 and gets 6." [1d10=6]
[22:25] <Kotono> The party teleports wth a jerk! You appear before the closed door of the slaadi room, rainbow colors arching over Demedais!
[22:25] <Demedais> "What was that?" Demedais mutters. "Why do I get the rainbows now?"
06[22:25] * Seira takes out a piece of chalk and writes 'off limits' in Common on the door.
06[22:26] * Alicia kicks the door closed behind her. "Something in your backpack just became magic that wasn't before," she tells Demedais after a sidelong look at Donald, curious as to his murmurings.
01[22:27] <Seira> "Let's go watch dissected devils, now, and return any back to hell?"
06[22:27] * Demedais pulls out the item in his bag.
[22:27] <Kotono> It's Deme's old gnomish anatomy notes he took after Shamal passed.
[22:28] <Alicia> roll 1d20+10 spellcraft
06[22:28] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+10 spellcraft and gets 25." [1d20=15]
01[22:28] <Seira> "Congratulations," she tells him, passing over to the door in question. "Conjuration, specifically aimed at healing uses."
[22:30] <Demedais> "Interesting." Demedais muses, putting them back at that. "We can see what they do later."
06[22:30] * Demedais nods to Seira after this.
06[22:30] * Seira actually opens the door.
[22:32] <Kotono> Inside the room are several tables. They're white enamel. On them bloodstains are rapant. Chains and hooks hang from the ceiling, body parts on them. On the tables themselves are a dozen barbed devils tied down and cut into various parts. You can see diabolical hearts, organs and visera on display. From above, a voice sounds, 'Welcome to the Diabolical Dissections area.'
[22:33] <Alicia> They're not... still alive, are they?
[22:33] <Demedais> "..." Demedais says nothing, stepping in and looking around carefully.
[22:33] <Kotono> "Hahahaa..." A laugh comes from one of them, "Finally...do you hear me, someone? Do you hear me, child of the Serpent?"
06[22:34] * Seira approaches the dissected devil warily. "Well, I hear you. That good enough for you?"
[22:34] <Kotono> OOC: Make spot, Deme.
[22:34] <Demedais> roll 1d20+26
06[22:34] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+26 and gets 36." [1d20=10]
[22:34] <Kotono> This one has it's legs split open like sausages, it's chest exposed. It's boil like magma, narrow little slits as it breaks it's neck to be able to look in Seira's direction. "Ten thousand trillion of them...and you are not one of them! Out of my sight!" It snaps!
01[22:35] <Seira> "Yeah, like you can command me," Seira says with disdain. "Do you want to die or not? Because I could just leave."
06[22:36] * Alicia idly wonders why the Molydeus didn't bother to 'play' with these unfortunate fiends. Then again, it left the other demons to rot as well, so who can speculate on its motivations?
[22:36] <Kotono> "Die? I am DEATHLESS, dragon!" With a snapping snarl as it laughs, laughing and shaking all over, "Dragon! Angel! Mortals! None of you are worth anything!"
01[22:36] <Seira> "Who is, then? Some serpent?"
[22:37] <Alicia> "From where I'm standing you don't amount to a whole lot yourself," Alicia observes cooly, hanging back near the door.
06[22:37] * Demedais goes over to the nearest body, ignoring the talking devil as he examines the corpse.
[22:39] <Kotono> "The broken 999,999,999,999 that wait for you...hehehhehehehehe...oh, I wait for even one of them! A whisper from one of them!" Spittle flies from it's mouth, it's red-black tongue licking it's lips and cheeks. Barbs there tear it up, blood coming in sputs from it's ruined tongue. Despite that it speaks yet! "Let me join you, oh children of the Serpent! Let me bask in your infernal glories!"
[22:39] <Alicia> OOC: any knowledge to know wtf he speaks of?
[22:39] <Kotono> The body looks like a dead body of a barbed devil. No signs of life at all, which is unusual considering fiends don't leave bodies on the Prime.
06[22:39] * Seira draws her sword, and glances briefly at the others. "A good reason not to send him back?"
[22:39] <Kotono> OOC: K:P.
[22:39] <Alicia> roll 1d20+24
06[22:39] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+24 and gets 30." [1d20=6]
01[22:40] <Seira> roll 1d20+16 I'll also play
06[22:40] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+16 I'll also play and gets 33." [1d20=17]
[22:40] <Demedais> "Considering that their bodies remained here when these ones died? I'm not sure killing him would send him back, even presuming that he can be sent back and is not, in fact, deathless like he claims." Demedais muses.
01[22:40] <Seira> "Only one way to check."
[22:41] <Demedais> "And here I liked the idea of sending him back to Hell direct to let him pal around with the pit devil."
[22:41] <Alicia> "There are ways of making the shell remain," Alicia observes. "So long as the animate spirit is sundered from it, that's all that really matters."
01[22:42] <Seira> That's all Seira really needs, and she attempts to separate the devil's head from its body with the Resort.
[22:43] <Demedais> "Mmm, true. Irenes did similar. Still, leaving these around isn't appealing."
[22:43] <Kotono> "Let me join you! I know! I know! I know!" The barbed devil howls, rocking up and down in it's bonds. "Come forth and devour all that oppose the Lord of the Nine! Devour the skies in your maws! Swallow the sun for all time!" Seira cuts down! The creature's head is cut from it's body! It's head's eyes roll up, looking at Seira, cackling laughter following despite blood gushing out all around it.
06[22:43] * Seira gives it a few more moments, to see if the deathless devil will die from blood loss, at least.
[22:44] <Kotono> It continues to laugh, it's blood flow slowing. Yet it still seems to live.
01[22:45] <Seira> "Huh. You really are deathless. Have fun with that." Seira decides to check the room, ignoring the weird devil.
[22:45] <Alicia> Well, this is unsettling. Taking out her prism from the study room, Alicia focuses on what she's seeing now to see if it can shed any light on what motivates these fiends to remain animate and on the prime in defiance of all reason.
01[22:45] <Seira> roll 1d20+29 search
06[22:45] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+29 search and gets 40." [1d20=11]
[22:46] <Kotono> OOC: Make an K:P check with a +5 bonus, Alicia?
[22:46] <Alicia> roll 1d20+29
06[22:46] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+29 and gets 32." [1d20=3]
[22:46] <Kotono> Seira searches the room. She finds some old dissection equipment, nasty tools and cutting instruments. Not much else - no sign of anything secret or a diabolical portal.
01[22:47] <Seira> "Need help with that?" Seira offers Alicia as soon as she notices what the paladin is doing. "I can read that, after all."
[22:47] <Alicia> "Tell me what it says if it generates an image, yes," Alicia replies distractedly as she focuses...
[22:48] <Kotono> OOC: Disregard your PM, Alicia.
[22:48] <Kotono> OOC: I forgot yo ucan't read gnomish.
[22:48] <Alicia> OOC: should be a big hologram like before as well, right?
[22:49] <Kotono> The images of a bisected barbed devil appears in front of the party, as well as writings in gnomish.
01[22:49] <Seira> "Can you check what happens to an outsider taken out of this room?" Seira asks Alicia. "Alternately, we could just test with one of the dead bodies."
[22:50] <Kotono> "Come here...come here..." The beheaded devil whispers several times, raising in tone from nearly silent to loud on the ninth whisper.
06[22:50] * Demedais shrugs. "I can test that." With that, he takes the arm of the one he was examining before glancing to the devil.
06[22:50] * Alicia pockets the prism after Seira's read what it produced, picking up the laughing skull by the back of its head and marching out of the room with it held at arm's length.
[22:51] <Kotono> It's face twists into a grin, "Let me talk to you...oh, I'll show you the fruits of the forbidden knowledge!" It gloats in Infernal! Going out of the room, the head still seem sto live.
06[22:52] * Seira waits to see what happens to the dead arm Demedais is carrying.
[22:52] <Kotono> The dead arm stays as well outside of the room.
01[22:52] <Seira> "Maybe they're been treated with preservatives," Seira muses. "Let's try a dead magic zone now?"
[22:52] <Alicia> "What could you *possibly* know?" Alicia asks, wondering if it's necromancy at work here. "Demedais, could you possibly use a touch of healing on this thing?" she asks, since she used up her own earlier. "Just a little to see if it has any adverse effect."
[22:53] <Demedais> "The head or the arm?" Demedais says, keeping his stomach calm with somewhat relative ease.
[22:53] <Kotono> "I know IT!" Laughing and writhing in Alicia's grasp, "I know the most important thing of all!"
01[22:53] <Seira> OOC: Actually, any magic I see on the head?
[22:53] <Alicia> "Head," Alicia confirms. "It might be undead."
01[22:53] <Seira> OOC: Magic different from anything on the arm?
[22:53] <Kotono> Meanwhile, the others just stay and watch this grisly display.
06[22:54] * Demedais taps it with some healing, then. OOC: 4 expended.
01[22:54] <Seira> "Whatver it is, it's magic. Antimagic or dead magic would probably make it dead."
[22:54] <Kotono> The head looks slightly healed but otherwise unaffected.
06[22:55] * Seira blinks. "Although the arm might be slightly undead. Better toss that back in."
06[22:55] * Alicia grimaces as the healing takes effect, wandering over towards the anti-magic zone. "How do you even talk? Your lungs... even your throat, is gone."
01[22:55] <Seira> "A wizard did it."
06[22:56] * Demedais puts the arm back down. "We still need a way to destroy these." he mutters.
06[22:56] * Seira glances towards Amaryl. "But I wouldn't! It's creepy and I don't like things like that."
[22:56] <Kotono> "Death holds no dominion over me!" He cackles as Alicia enters the dead magic zone! Yet...some how it continues to live! "Nothing does! Oh, listen, listen, listen to me! Listen to the great blessing I have been shown!"
[22:57] <Kotono> "Oh..." Amaryl continues to watch, "Just destroy the head? It's making my skin crawl."
01[22:57] <Seira> "But that's disturbing, it might still be alive and we won't even know it!"
[22:58] <Alicia> Well, this sure is disgusting. "We can try feeding it to the slime?" she suggests, sighing. "Severing his neck seems to have really loosened his tongue."
[22:58] <Demedais> "Did you find an extra token?" Demedais muses.
[22:58] <Kotono> "Listen! Listen! Listen!" The head rocks back and forth in Alicia's grip, it's bloodied tongue licking out, trying ot reach Alicia's fingers.
[22:59] <Demedais> "You're as bad as a hyper fairie." Demedais tells the head.
01[22:59] <Seira> "Okay," Seira gives up. "Tell us your big bad secret."
06[22:59] * Alicia has her hand on the back of its head with it pointed away from her at arm's length, so it's getting nowhere with that. "We listen and yet you say nothing at all..."
[22:59] <Kotono> "Closer...closer...such things must be whispered!" The head insists.
[23:00] <Demedais> "Go ahead and whisper it from here. I'll hear it." Demedais replies.
01[23:01] <Seira> roll 1d20+26
06[23:01] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+26 and gets 33." [1d20=7]
[23:01] <Kotono> "Closer!" With a laugh, "I won't bite!"
01[23:02] <Seira> "Alicia, just toss it back in the room. This is getting us nowhere, and we'll find out what to do with it eventually."
[23:02] <Demedais> "We may be back to listen later, but we aren't in the mood right now." Demedais tells the head sternly, before leaving the room.
[23:03] <Alicia> "We could give it to one of the demons?" Alicia suggests, putting it on one of the tables in the dissection room before grimacing and rubbing her dirty-feeling fingers together as she exits.
01[23:03] <Seira> "If I had to guess, Asmodeus had a hand in keeping that thing alive," Seira muses. "Normal means of killing it probably won't work."
[23:03] <Kotono> You hear it's laughter chasing you as the party leaves. "I'll wait...I'll wait for a child of the Broken One to come to me!"
[23:03] <Demedais> "Who's the Broken One?"
[23:04] <Kotono> "What, WHAT?" Donald snap-looks to Seira, a click of metal as his armor turns. "Asmodeus, the King of Hell? Seriously?"
01[23:04] <Seira> "No, Asmodeus, the grocer down the road."
06[23:04] * Demedais gives an amused look to Seira.
[23:05] <Kotono> "Oh stop that," Donald snaps, "Not the point! It's note very day you see something that you can point at and say 'Oh, Asmodeus did it!'"
01[23:05] <Seira> "It was 'Oh, Asmodeus might have done it'!" Seira insists. "That's totally different!"
[23:05] <Demedais> "Maybe Esthan's higherup did it." Demedais shrugs.
[23:06] <Alicia> "There's no evidence," Alicia retorts. "It could just as easily have been Daa-vid, or some horribly powerful gnome like that time magus plumbing arcane depths best left unexplored. It'd be easy to accomplish with necromancy, but the fact that it isn't makes it strange."
06[23:06] * Seira pauses. "Actually, it's easy enough to try and check." She heads to the room with the gears, and opens the door once more.
01[23:07] <Seira> "Daa-vid is another possibility, I suppose," she admits. "But I'm thinking it should be near that level of divinity to accomplish that feat."
[23:11] <Alicia> OOC: knowledge for Broken One?
[23:11] <Kotono> Seira returns to the room of gears. They continue to turn eternally.
[23:11] <Kotono> OOC: K:P if you like.
[23:11] <Alicia> roll 1d20+24
01[23:11] <Seira> roll 1d20+16 me too
06[23:11] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+24 and gets 31." [1d20=7]
06[23:11] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+16 me too and gets 32." [1d20=16]
01[23:12] <Seira> "You knew about the moly-whatsit demon, right?" Seira addresses the room. "Any chance you would know about a crazy devil still alive after being dissected?"
[23:12] <Demedais> "Uh, no? Don't know if it ever came up..."
[23:15] <Kotono> "We do not," The gears answer, "We know of the molydeus becauseit made itself apparent."
[23:16] <Alicia> "Lets just keep looking around? The fortress is big, there's bound to be something," Alicia suggests. "If not we'll figure something out."
[23:16] <Demedais> "Sure." Demedais shrugs.
01[23:16] <Seira> "Did he say anything before his ignoble demise?" Seira asks curiously. "And come to think of it, Alicia's right. Where would the record room for everything be located?"
[23:18] <Kotono> "There may be," The gear agree, "But we know of this place, not of beyond it."
01[23:19] <Seira> "Oh well, thanks anyway," Seira tells the gears, and closes the door. "Yugoloths next, fun!"
[23:19] <Demedais> "Right."
06[23:19] * Seira opens the door in question.
[23:21] <Kotono> Ahead, the room is pitch black. Shadowy, pitch black ahead as far as the eyes can see. From the darkness, faint, silibant whispers can be almost heard.
01[23:21] <Seira> "Anything alive in there?" Seira calls out, ready to close the door.
[23:21] <Kotono> 'Welcome to your graves. Welcome to the place where life rots into death. Enter! The gnomes went first, but there's still plenty more!'
[23:21] <Kotono> OOC: Gah.
[23:21] <Kotono> 'Welcome to your graves. Welcome to the place where life rots into death. Enter! The gnomes went first, but there's still plenty more!' The voice sounds from above, calm and collected, lik ethe voice that welcomed you into this museum.
01[23:22] <Seira> roll 1d20+16 planes, what the hell
06[23:22] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+16 planes, what the hell and gets 32." [1d20=16]
[23:23] <Alicia> roll 1d20+24 do the eyes match any 'loth I'm familiar with?
06[23:23] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+24 do the eyes match any 'loth I'm familiar with? and gets 43." [1d20=19]
[23:23] <Demedais> "You sound boring." Demedais comments.
[23:25] <Kotono> 'Yet you cannot resist my beautiful killing chamber...oh, did you dispatch the molydeus yet? You may be worthy for a glorious death within!'
06[23:26] * Alicia pulls down her blindfold. "Ultraloth. It sacrificed its lesser brethren to create this illusory killing field," she warns the group. "Be wary, they are not foes to take lightly."
01[23:26] <Seira> "I might consider it if you tell me how to kill the unkillable devil?" Seira asks hopefully. "Or you could kill the unkillable devil!"
[23:27] <Demedais> "I take it that's what we heard you two fighting?" Demedais shrugs. "Also, illusory killing field? Ultraloth?"
[23:27] <Kotono> roll 1d20+18
06[23:27] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+18 and gets 33." [1d20=15]
[23:28] <Kotono> 'Can you turn away? Can you turn away from me? Oh yes, you know the evil that lurks inside, waiting. It's not in your nature to turn away from evil.'
[23:29] <Alicia> "Think of it as the Yugoloth equivalent to a Pit Fiend," Alicia whispers to Demedais. "The area within will make it even stronger than normal."
01[23:29] <Seira> "Sure I can," Seira says, closing the door before turning to look at the others. "Do we want to bother with them right now?"
[23:30] <Demedais> "I'd suggest trying to dispel it but I remember the last time you tried dispelling something. Also, Seira, you read my mind for reactions. Though... hm." Demedais muses.
06[23:30] * Alicia lifts up her blindfold after Seira closes the door. "I'd rather not leave it at my back," she reasons. "We could toss that devil head at it to start things off if you really want to test its killing power versus the unkillable fiend."
[23:30] <Kotono> roll 1d20+18
06[23:30] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+18 and gets 30." [1d20=12]
01[23:31] <Seira> "If this records room exists, it might have a clue for what to do with them. And yes, tossing the devil head inside would be interesting."
[23:31] <Kotono> roll 1d20+18
06[23:31] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+18 and gets 27." [1d20=9]
[23:32] <Demedais> "Alicia, the first question is - can it escape? The second question is, if not, are we likely to find some way to trigger the defenses here? If not we may as well leave it for now and worry on it later."
[23:33] <Kotono> roll 1d4
06[23:33] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d4 and gets 1." [1d4=1]
06[23:33] * Seira decides to quickly fetch the deathless devil's head.
[23:34] <Kotono> OOC: Stop there, lining.
[23:36] <Kotono> As the party talks, there is a roar from deep within the darkness! It emerges out, seen by those with darkvision. It is green and has four arms, it's bloated body bedeckoned by a belt of metal orbs. It's eyes glow like yellow bile, "Blood for the sacrifice!" this creature calls. OOC: Whatever it is doesn't look friendly. Let's do init.
[23:36] <Alicia> OOC: the door was closed. Did it open the door?
[23:36] <Kotono> OOC: Oh. Dur.
[23:37] <Kotono> OOC: Let me reline then.
[23:37] <Kotono> As the party talks, there is a roar from deep within the room! It emerges out, the door thrust open! It is green and has four arms, it's bloated body bedeckoned by a belt of metal orbs. It's eyes glow like yellow bile, "Blood for the sacrifice!" this creature calls. OOC: Whatever it is doesn't look friendly. Let's do init.

[23:38] <Kotono> roll 1d20+13 ????
06[23:38] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+13 ???? and gets 26." [1d20=13]
01[23:38] <Seira> "What hurts it, Alicia?" Seira calls over to the female paladin, switching gears.
[23:38] <Demedais> roll 1d20+2 woo.
06[23:38] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+2 woo. and gets 20." [1d20=18]
[23:39] <Alicia> roll 1d20+24 planes, what is it and how does it die?
06[23:39] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+24 planes, what is it and how does it die? and gets 39." [1d20=15]

06[23:41] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+13 will and gets 27." [1d20=14]
[23:41] <Kotono> OOC: Carry on.
[23:41] <Kotono> OOC: ???? is up.
[23:42] <Alicia> "Nycaloth! Holy mithral weapons are needed!" Alicia calls back to Seira in alarm.
[23:43] <Alicia> OOC: Deme got skipped in the topic btw
01[23:43] <Seira> "What about magic?"
[23:43] <Kotono> OOC: Thanks, dur.
03[23:43] * Kotono changes topic to '????1(26)>Pollyanna(24)>Amary=Demedaisl(20)>Donald(19)>Big Axe Guy(16)>Seira(15)>Alicia(13)'

[23:43] <Kotono> roll 1d20+18
06[23:43] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+18 and gets 34." [1d20=16]
[23:43] <Kotono> From within the darkness, a crackling, enervating ray fires out at Pollyanna!
[23:44] <Alicia> "Acid!"
[23:44] <Kotono> roll 1d20+ ah hell, if it's not a 1 on a ranged touch it doesn't matter
06[23:44] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+ ah hell, if it's not a 1 on a ranged touch it doesn't matter and gets Error: Check syntax." [1d20=2]

[23:45] <Kotono> roll 1d100
06[23:45] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d100 and gets 52." [1d100=52]
[23:46] <Kotono> The black beam hits Pollyanna, making her body shrink and energy shrivel! As she weathers this storm...
[23:46] <Kotono> roll 1d20+18
06[23:46] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+18 and gets 30." [1d20=12]
[23:46] <Kotono> Crackling magic crumbles around Alicia! OOC: Alicia, what effects do you have up?

[23:47] <Kotono> OOC: Gets everything but arcane sight.
[23:47] <Kotono> The magics around Alicia unweave, breaking apart! OOC: Pollyanna's up.
[23:48] <Kotono> Pollyanna steps a few feet back, readying arrows and firing off a batch! "Back!"
[23:48] <Kotono> roll 1d20+21
[23:48] <Kotono> roll 1d20+21

06[23:48] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+11 and gets 19." [1d20=8]

[23:49] <Kotono> roll 1d8+14+2d6
06[23:49] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d8+14+2d6 and gets 24." [1d8=4][2d6=5, 1]
[23:50] <Kotono> Of her arrows, one slam into the creature! It doesn't penetrate far into it's vitals, but isn't resisted entirely, either! The flames on it don't even seem to bother it! OOC: Amaryl and Deme.
[23:50] <Kotono> Amaryl quickly steps back as well, snapping off a foursome of arrows as she retreats away!
[23:50] <Kotono> roll 1d20+18
06[23:50] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+18 and gets 22." [1d20=4]

06[23:51] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 3d8+12+3d8 at least one of the non split arrows hit and gets 43." [3d8=6, 3, 2][3d8=8, 8, 4]
[23:51] <Kotono> Arrows slam into the unruly charging outsider, doing little damage as well, but finding some penetration! OOC: Deme.
[23:52] <Alicia> OOC: strike my Acid line, I was confused.
[23:52] <Alicia> "Anything but acid!"
06[23:53] * Demedais steps in to the side, quickly moving to dice it up as an aura of protection comes over the group! "Right. Let's see what you've got, ugly."
[23:53] <Demedais> roll 1d20+25 (+1 GMW)
06[23:53] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+25 (+1 GMW) and gets 26." [1d20=1]

06[23:53] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+15 (+1 GMW) Screw you too bot and gets 28." [1d20=13]
[23:54] <Kotono> OOC: One hit. The 26 would hit if it wasn't a 1.
[23:54] <Demedais> roll 2d6+13 wee, I can bypass DR next round~ all I was hoping for~
06[23:54] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 2d6+13 wee, I can bypass DR next round~ all I was hoping for~ and gets 21." [2d6=5, 3]
[23:54] <Kotono> Demedais squares up with the brute of a monster, hacking into it! He finds the going hard as well, but scores a wound on it's arm!
[23:54] <Kotono> OOC: Donald.
[23:55] <Kotono> Donald steps back, conjuring up a ray of tiring energies, firing at the 'loth...or trying!

06[23:55] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d100 siiigh and gets 2." [1d100=2]
[23:56] <Kotono> But instead, a horrible stench rolls off Donald's body, nasty and sickening! "Argh!" Cursing, he quickly fires off another!

06[23:56] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+12 and gets 17." [1d20=5]

06[23:56] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d100 siiigh and gets 18." [1d100=18]
[23:57] <Kotono> At that a strange sensation passes over the party! Donald says something, but it's incomprehensible to all! A moment later, the Nycaloth roars something as well, also babel-speak, as it tears into Demedais!
[23:58] <Kotono> roll 1d20+28 (-2 PA)
06[23:58] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+28 (-2 PA) and gets 47." [1d20=19]

Session Time: Sat Jun 13 00:00:00 2009
[00:00] <Kotono> Demedais defends himself well from a flurry of strikes, including an axe into his gut! But he endures, as...
[00:00] <Demedais> OOC: If it's within my range (which, since I had to step in to hit it, it might be?) I get an AoO since it missed me.
[00:00] <Kotono> OOC: Does it mention how it resolves timewise in the power writeup?
[00:01] <Kotono> OOC: It has a quickened SLA it's going to fire first unless it interrupts, so I can finish it's routine and then you can counter-AoO.
[00:01] <Demedais> OOC: Desc. is When an opponent misses you by 6 or more points, you may make an attack of opportunity on them. Kinda reads like I get it immediately, but I may be wrong.
[00:02] <Kotono> OOC: Go ahead and AoO then.
[00:02] <Demedais> roll 1d20+25 this still doesnג€™t bypass DR if it hits
06[00:02] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+25 this still doesnג€™t bypass DR if it hits and gets 44." [1d20=19]

[00:03] <Kotono> roll 1d20+16 CL
06[00:03] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+16 CL and gets 20." [1d20=4]
[00:03] <Kotono> roll 1d100 uh oh
06[00:03] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d100 uh oh and gets 85." [1d100=85]
[00:05] <Kotono> Rainbow energies crackle around Demedais! His body seems to shorten somewhat, clad in armor and hidden as magic works on him! OOC: Seira.
01[00:06] <Seira> 'Still there?' Seira thinks to Amaryl, maneuvering herself into a flanking position with Demedais, her weapon striking from above at the Nycaloth's exposed neck.
[00:06] <Kotono> 'Yeah,' Amaryl thinks back, 'I'm here.'
01[00:06] <Seira> roll 1d20+28 (flight, flanking, lots of other stuff, lifetheft)
06[00:06] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+28 (flight, flanking, lots of other stuff, lifetheft) and gets 48." [1d20=20]

06[00:07] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 9d8+33+5d8 I see and gets 102." [9d8=5, 6, 8, 5, 7, 2, 4, 1, 6][5d8=8, 3, 7, 5, 2]
[00:08] <Kotono> Seira gets the fiend right in the throat, ripping deep into it's body and scoring a massive wound! OOC: It's hurt now. Alicia?
01[00:09] <Seira> 'So Demedais looks different,' Seira thinks in an almost conversational tone. 'Think he got transmuted into an elf?'
[00:09] <Kotono> 'That would be a gift...if he wanted it, that is. Donald's...oh, this isnt' the time!' Amaryl grimaces, 'Later, I'm trying to draw more arrows!'
06[00:10] * Seira laughs.
06[00:10] * Alicia attempts to finish it off, standing next to Demedais as she lays into the creature while its distracted by the gaping neck wound Seira granted it.
[00:10] <Alicia> roll 1d20+31 divine might, 4th level arcane strike

06[00:11] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d8+23+2d6+1d6+1d6+4d4 and gets 50." [1d8=1][2d6=4, 6][1d6=2][1d6=5][4d4=1, 2, 4, 2]
[00:11] <Alicia> roll 1d8+23+2d6+1d6+1d6+4d4
06[00:11] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d8+23+2d6+1d6+1d6+4d4 and gets 55." [1d8=8][2d6=4, 4][1d6=4][1d6=4][4d4=1, 1, 2, 4]

03[00:11] * Kotono changes topic to '????1(26)>Pollyanna(24)>Amaryl=Demedais(20)>Donald(19)>Seira(15)>Alicia(13)'
[00:11] <Kotono> Alicia cuts ahead into the wounded Nycaloth, breaking it apart into black ooze! It fades away, slaughtered! From the darkness, you hear whispering chuckles. OOC: ???? is up.
[00:12] <Kotono> roll 1d20+18
06[00:12] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+18 and gets 26." [1d20=8]
[00:13] <Kotono> OOC: Whatever it did you can't see it. Polly's up.
[00:13] <Kotono> Pollyanna holds, saying something aloud - but it makes no sense! She looks to Demedais and speaks again, more nonsense! OOC: She's holding for the moment. Amaryl and Deme.
[00:14] <Kotono> 'Now what?' Amaryl think sto Seira.
06[00:16] * Demedais looks between Alicia, Seira and the darkness with some confusion apparent on the helmeted face.
01[00:16] <Seira> 'If that thing keeps on summoning them, we have to put it down,' Seira thinks back, gesturing indoors with her sword for everyone's sake. 'Wait until I'll go in, then follow?'
[00:17] <Kotono> 'Right,' Amaryl holds! OOC: Are you doing anything or holding, Seira?
[00:17] <Kotono> OOC: Er, Deme.
[00:17] <Demedais> OOC: Holding.
[00:18] <Kotono> Donald says something unknown, looking about the party and pointing into the darkness and shrugging, and then pointing back towards th eexit of the museum and shrugging! OOC: Donald holds. ???? time is up.
01[00:18] <Seira> OOC: Not me?
[00:19] <Alicia> OOC: or me?
[00:19] <Kotono> OOC Nope.
[00:20] <Kotono> It comes out from the darkness, emerging forth! It is sort of human - it has a wolf's head, carrying a book under one arm. A thin pair of spectacles top it's canine face, which is full of a self isolated contempt. "Hmph," It looks on with utter disdain, magic weaving around it's hands as it invokes arcane powers!
[00:21] <Kotono> roll 1d20+13 CL check for wild magic.
06[00:21] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+13 CL check for wild magic. and gets 21." [1d20=8]
[00:21] <Kotono> roll 1d100
06[00:21] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d100 and gets 43." [1d100=43]
[00:21] <Kotono> Instead, smoke gushes out from the ears of all, acrid, nasty smoke! It's eyes widen in surprise! OOC: Seira.
03[00:21] * Kotono changes topic to '????1(26)>Pollyanna(24)>Amaryl=Demedais(20)>Donald(19)>Dog-creature(16)>Seira(15)>Alicia(13)'
[00:21] <Alicia> OOC: if it's a summon DC 20 will or fuck off
06[00:21] * Seira is filled with even more disdain towards someone who fails at being intimidating with such an attitude.
[00:21] <Kotono> roll 1d20+15
06[00:21] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+15 and gets 21." [1d20=6]
[00:22] <Kotono> OOC: Carry on.
[00:22] <Demedais> OOC: Taking held action once I can see it, I figure, if I can?
[00:22] <Kotono> OOC: Sure. Go ahead go instead then, Deme.
03[00:22] * Kotono changes topic to '????1(26)>Pollyanna(24)>Amaryl(20)>Donald(19)>Dog-creature(16)>Demedais=Seira(15)>Alicia(13)'
06[00:23] * Demedais nods slightly and charges the creature, aiming for one quick and brutal slash across it!

06[00:24] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+23 (+6 Law Dev, +2 Charge, -10 PA) and gets 39." [1d20=16]

06[00:24] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 2d6+33 and gets 35." [2d6=1, 1]
[00:25] <Kotono> Demedais runs up into the unseen darkness, trusting the image that he can glimpse inside! He hacks away inside, landing a barely seen blow at the creature within! OOC: Seira.
06[00:25] * Seira scowls, but just opts to dart inside the room as well, lest the ultraloth keep on swarming them. She's willing to draw fire from the others for that goal! For now, however, she is content with taking stock of the situation inside, and getting into flanking position with Demedais to harrass the canine creature.
01[00:25] <Seira> roll 1d20+28 same as before sans lifetheft
06[00:25] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+28 same as before sans lifetheft and gets 48." [1d20=20]

[00:27] <Kotono> The room is big. There seems to be more ahead, more cages and no end in sight from here for Seira! Meanwhile she plunges her sword into the canine creature, stabbing it's guts all out in one savage blow! OOC: Alicia.
[00:29] <Alicia> Flapping her wings, Alicia takes off and flies into the room, swooping in alongside Demedais to attack the creature while flanking with Seira, intent on killing it quickly!
01[00:29] <Seira> 'Now's a good time to follow!'
[00:29] <Alicia> roll 1d20+29 -8pa divine might 4th level arcane strike charge
06[00:29] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+29 -8pa divine might 4th level arcane strike charge and gets 49." [1d20=20]

06[00:30] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 2d8+68+2d6+1d6+1d6+4d4 and gets 105." [2d8=2, 8][2d6=4, 4][1d6=5][1d6=3][4d4=3, 1, 3, 4]
03[00:30] * Kotono changes topic to '????1(26)>Pollyanna(24)>Amaryl(20)>Donald(19)>Demedais=Seira(15)>Alicia(13)'
[00:31] <Kotono> Alicia charges in, decapitating the canine creature! It fades away into black mists, gone! Amaryl follows in as well into the darkness! OOC: ???? is up.
03[00:31] * Kotono changes topic to '????1(26)>Pollyanna(24)>Donald(19)>Demedais=Seira(15)>Alicia(13)Amaryl(12)'
[00:32] <Kotono> roll 1d20+18

06[00:32] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d4 and gets 1." [1d4=1]
03[00:32] * Kotono changes topic to '????1(26)>Pollyanna(24)>Nycaloth(22)>Donald(19)>Demedais=Seira(15)>Alicia(13)Amaryl(12)'
[00:33] <Kotono> About twenty feet ahead of the party, another four armed terror appears out of the blue! OOC: Rolling sword of the sealed gate.
[00:33] <Kotono> roll 1d20+7
06[00:33] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+7 and gets 14." [1d20=7]
[00:33] <Kotono> OOC: It's save is +13, not 7. Dur. Thatmakes it 20 even, my mistake.
[00:35] <Kotono> Pollyanna calls, but her words are meaningless babble! OOC: Polly's holding. She can't see much in the dark and can't communicate this. The 'loth is up.
06[00:35] * Alicia glows to hopefully provide some light along with her flaming sword which already provides plenty!
[00:35] <Kotono> Alicia glows with holy light! It provides a sickly, weak radiance here, but it's neough for Pollyanna to shoot!
[00:35] <Kotono> roll 1d20+21
[00:36] <Kotono> roll 1d20+21

[00:38] <Kotono> The swing is heavy and misses, as the Nycaloth pivots and turns! It whirls about, exposing it's back ot the part! OOC: Donald is up.
[00:38] <Kotono> Donald scoots in to ten feet in the room, taking a long breath before invoking magic!
[00:38] <Kotono> roll 1d20+12 here's hoping
06[00:38] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+12 here's hoping and gets 25." [1d20=13]

01[00:39] <Seira> OOC: Deme can go first

06[00:45] * Alicia would rather not have to just keep fending off summoned minions, she she flies around the nycaloth a further sixty feet into the room. "Hell Striker, let me know if you detect anything," she whispers as she looks around...
[00:45] <Kotono> Alicia flies about! The room seems to stretch out and out and out endlessly!
[00:46] <Kotono> 'It is not natural,' Hell-Striker sounds in your mind.
[00:46] <Alicia> Except said words come out gibberish?
06[00:47] * Alicia waits, hoping her arcane sight will let her see the ultroloth when it next employs its magic against them. Summons have short range, so it can't be too far...
[00:47] <Alicia> OOC: readied action to holy smite it if I detect it casting
[00:47] <Kotono> OOC: Okay.
[00:47] <Kotono> Amaryl steps forward, firing off another volley of arrows!
[00:47] <Kotono> roll 1d20+18

06[00:48] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d8+4 and gets 5." [1d8=1]

06[00:50] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+27 touch AC for Amaryl and gets 33." [1d20=6]
[00:50] <Kotono> roll 1d20+17 fort
06[00:50] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+17 fort and gets 22." [1d20=5]
01[00:51] <Seira> OOC: She has heroism on for +2 more, if that matters
[00:51] <Kotono> OOC: It does. Thanks.
[00:52] <Kotono> From nowhere and everywhere, a beam strikes out at Amaryl! It leaves her staggering, yawning! OOC: Amaryl is fatigued. (More)
03[00:52] * Kotono changes topic to '????1(26)>Pollyanna(24)>Nycaloth(22)>Donald(19)>Demedais=Seira(15)>Alicia(13>)Amaryl(12)'
[00:53] <Kotono> roll 1d100 Dur

[00:53] <Kotono> OOC: Polly's up.

[00:54] <Kotono> roll 1d20+21
06[00:54] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+21 and gets 23." [1d20=2]

06[00:54] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+16 and gets 29." [1d20=13]
[00:54] <Kotono> roll 1d20+11
06[00:54] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+11 and gets 16." [1d20=5]
[00:54] <Kotono> But none of her arrows can land this time, missing the creature! OOC: It's up.
[00:54] <Kotono> With boundless fury, the Nycaloth hollers as it strikes out at the two warriors around it!
[00:55] <Kotono> roll 1d20+28 (-2 PA) Deme
06[00:55] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+28 (-2 PA) Deme and gets 43." [1d20=15]

[00:55] <Kotono> roll 1d20+23 claw Seira
06[00:55] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+23 claw Seira and gets 26." [1d20=3]
[00:55] <Kotono> OOC: ACs?
01[00:55] <Seira> OOC: AC 43, 49 if Deme has the protection aura
[00:55] <Demedais> OOC: 44, presuming Donaldג€™s not in range. And yes, I do.
[00:55] <Kotono> roll 1d20+16 CL check for it's quickened SLA
06[00:55] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+16 CL check for it's quickened SLA and gets 29." [1d20=13]
[00:56] <Kotono> A moment later, magic unweaves around Seira! OOC: You got dispelled. Whta spells do you have active?
01[00:56] <Seira> OOC: Oh wow. Let's see....
01[00:57] <Seira> OOC: CL16: Greater Heroism, Draconic Might, Greater Resistance, Keen Edge (Resort), Heroism, Dragonskin, Shield, Detect Magic

[00:58] <Kotono> roll 1d20+16 Stoneskin
06[00:58] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+16 Stoneskin and gets 18." [1d20=2]
[00:59] <Kotono> Magic crumbles around Seira, many of her enchantments undone! OOC: Donald.
[01:00] <Kotono> Donald hangs back, holding his action for the moment! OOC: Doesn't wanna get AoOed or risk a spell on a wounded foe, so he'll wait if something happens. Seira and Deme.
[01:01] <Kotono> OOC: Hold that.
[01:01] <Kotono> roll 1d20+16 see invis
06[01:01] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+16 see invis and gets 31." [1d20=15]

06[01:01] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d4 (*10 minutes) and gets 3." [1d4=3]
[01:02] <Kotono> OOC: Carry on.
06[01:03] * Demedais goes first, moving to chop it to pieces with three more strikes!
[01:03] <Demedais> OOC: Forgot my AoO, but Iג€™ll pretend Demeג€™s too, ah, distracted right now.
[01:04] <Demedais> roll 1d20+26 (+6 Law Dev, -5 PA)
06[01:04] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+26 (+6 Law Dev, -5 PA) and gets 43." [1d20=17]
[01:04] <Kotono> OOC: Okay, fair enough. Just make a note on your sheet by your AC about it.
[01:04] <Kotono> OOC: Crit check.
[01:04] <Demedais> roll 1d20+26 (+6 Law Dev, -5 PA) crit check and I already did! I just have my AC memorized so I didnג€™t look. >_>
06[01:04] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+26 (+6 Law Dev, -5 PA) crit check and I already did! I just have my AC memorized so I didnג€™t look. >_> and gets 39." [1d20=13]
[01:04] <Demedais> roll 1d20+21 (+6 Law Dev, -5 PA)
[01:04] <Kotono> OOC: Crit. Continue your string on.
06[01:04] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+21 (+6 Law Dev, -5 PA) and gets 24." [1d20=3]
[01:04] <Demedais> roll 1d20+16 (+6 Law Dev, -5 PA)
06[01:04] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+16 (+6 Law Dev, -5 PA) and gets 26." [1d20=10]
[01:04] <Kotono> OOC: Only one hit but it's a c-c-crit.
[01:05] <Demedais> roll 4d6+46
06[01:05] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 4d6+46 and gets 62." [4d6=5, 1, 4, 6]
[01:06] <Kotono> Demedais plunges into it's side, impaling it's guts as it staggers in the grip of it's serious wounding! OOC: Seira. It's still alive but obviously not by much.
01[01:06] <Seira> Quite annoyed by both the lack of progress in this unnatural surroundings and at her better spells leaving her for the day, Seira decides to show the creep just how displeased she is. Hopefully Alicia could do something about the room spawning more of them.
01[01:06] <Seira> roll 1d20+24
06[01:06] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+24 and gets 29." [1d20=5]

01[01:06] <Seira> roll 1d20+18
06[01:06] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+18 and gets 31." [1d20=13]
01[01:06] <Seira> roll 1d20+18 crit?
06[01:06] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+18 crit? and gets 34." [1d20=16]
[01:06] <Kotono> OOC: One hit but it's a crit.
01[01:07] <Seira> roll 2d4+6+5d8 woohoo?
06[01:07] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 2d4+6+5d8 woohoo? and gets 47." [2d4=4, 2][5d8=6, 8, 7, 8, 6]
03[01:07] * Kotono changes topic to '????1(26)>Pollyanna(24)>Donald(19)>Demedais=Seira(15)>Alicia(13>)Amaryl(12)'
[01:07] <Kotono> Together with Demedais, Seira plunges her claw into the side of the creature! It buckles and breaks apart into nothingness, another one slain! OOC: Alicia.
[01:08] <Alicia> Frustrated, Alicia cries out some gibberish, arcane gestures filling the air before her!
[01:08] <Alicia> roll 1d20+16 wild magic CL?
06[01:08] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+16 wild magic CL? and gets 33." [1d20=17]
[01:08] <Alicia> roll 1d20+12 dispel CL on general illusory ambience
06[01:08] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+12 dispel CL on general illusory ambience and gets 29." [1d20=17]
[01:09] <Kotono> With that, the surroundings around the party shatter! It's dimly lit here - cages do indeed hang about. However, the room is only about sixty feet long if that. In the back, a throne of bones sits proud...ye tnothing seems ot sit on it. The party all is in the center of the room, Alicia above the others. OOC: Amaryl's up.
[01:10] <Kotono> 'What's going on?' Amaryl asks in Seira's head.
01[01:10] <Seira> 'Maybe it's invisible?' Seira thinks back, cursing her crucial spell being gone at such a time.
[01:11] <Kotono> OOC: Amaryl's holding for the moment, as she has little to do. Donald did have the same thought, so he's gona go.
[01:11] <Kotono> Donald calls on his magic at this!
[01:11] <Kotono> roll 1d20+12
06[01:11] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+12 and gets 19." [1d20=7]
[01:11] <Kotono> roll 1d100 sigh
06[01:11] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d100 sigh and gets 82." [1d100=82]
01[01:11] <Seira> 'Try to step out of the room and shoot at that stupid throne?' Seira suggests mentally a moment later.
03[01:12] * Kotono changes topic to '????1(26)>Pollyanna(24)>Demedais=Seira(15)>Alicia(13>)Amaryl(12)>Donald(11)'
[01:12] <Kotono> Instead, a strange, rust colored creature with long, antenne! It has four legs, about man sized and bug-like!
[01:12] <Kotono> roll 1d20+3
06[01:12] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+3 and gets 6." [1d20=3]
03[01:13] * Kotono changes topic to '????1(26)>Pollyanna(24)>Demedais=Seira(15)>Alicia(13>)Amaryl(12)>Donald(11)>????1'
[01:13] <Kotono> OOC: Which means it's up.
03[01:13] * Kotono changes topic to '????1(26)>Pollyanna(24)>Demedais=Seira(15)>Alicia(13>)Amaryl(12)>Donald(11)>????1(6)'
01[01:13] <Seira> OOC: Or Amaryl could shoot it and retreat?
[01:13] <Kotono> OOC: she could. Okay.
[01:13] <Alicia> OOC: DC 20 will if it's a summon, dunno how close I am since I moved sixty feet away then the room got a lot smaller
03[01:13] * Kotono changes topic to '????1(26)>Pollyanna(24)>Demedais=Seira(15)>Alicia(13)>Donald(11)>Amaryl(10)>????1(6)'
[01:14] <Kotono> roll 1d20+5
06[01:14] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+5 and gets 25." [1d20=20]
[01:14] <Alicia> OOC: has to be within 30 feet
[01:14] <Kotono> Amaryl moves back, firing off at the strange creature in front of Donald!
[01:14] <Kotono> roll 1d20+18
[01:14] <Kotono> roll 1d20+18
[01:14] <Kotono> roll 1d20+18

06[01:15] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 4d8+16+4d6+6d6 and gets 59." [4d8=3, 6, 2, 8][4d6=2, 3, 1, 2][6d6=1, 3, 2, 1, 4, 5]
03[01:15] * Kotono changes topic to '????1(26)>Pollyanna(24)>Demedais=Seira(15)>Alicia(13)>Donald(11)>Amaryl(10)'
[01:15] <Kotono> With those arrows, the creature is gone just like that, as if it never was! OOC: ???? is up.
01[01:15] <Seira> 'Nice, very nice!' Seira compliments happily.
[01:16] <Kotono> roll 1d20+18
06[01:16] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+18 and gets 31." [1d20=13]
[01:16] <Kotono> 10 feet ahead of the throne, another canine creature appears, the same as the last!
[01:16] <Kotono> roll 1d20+7
06[01:16] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+7 and gets 25." [1d20=18]
03[01:16] * Kotono changes topic to '????1(26)>Canine(25)>Pollyanna(24)>Demedais=Seira(15)>Alicia(13)>Donald(11)>Amaryl(10)'
[01:18] <Kotono> The canine waves his hand dismissively, as...
[01:18] <Kotono> roll 1d20+13
06[01:18] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+13 and gets 29." [1d20=16]
[01:18] <Kotono> roll 1d20+13 SR check for Deme
06[01:18] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+13 SR check for Deme and gets 14." [1d20=1]
[01:18] <Kotono> OOC: Will saves for all but Deme.
[01:18] <Alicia> roll 1d20+25
06[01:18] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+25 and gets 39." [1d20=14]
01[01:18] <Seira> roll 1d20+22
[01:18] <Kotono> roll 1d20+11 Amaryl
06[01:18] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+22 and gets 42." [1d20=20]
06[01:18] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+11 Amaryl and gets 26." [1d20=15]
[01:18] <Kotono> roll 1d20+9 Donald

[01:19] <Kotono> roll 1d20+8 Polly ow Donald
06[01:19] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+8 Polly ow Donald and gets 27." [1d20=19]
[01:19] <Kotono> Time crawls to a near stop around Donald, his movements ridiciously slow! OOC: Donald has eaten SLOW. The rest of you didn't botch the save. Polly's up.
[01:20] <Kotono> Pollyanna resists the magic, before snapping off more arrows at the canine! She calls something, but it's one again meaningless babble!
[01:20] <Kotono> roll 1d20+21
[01:20] <Kotono> roll 1d20+21
06[01:20] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+21 and gets 37." [1d20=16]

[01:20] <Kotono> roll 1d8+14
06[01:20] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d8+14 and gets 15." [1d8=1]
[01:20] <Kotono> One of the arrows hit home, dealing minor graze damage to it's canine throat! OOC: Deme and Seira.
06[01:22] * Demedais growls low, sound turning into meaninglessness, before charging at the canine again with a brutal upward slash!
[01:22] <Demedais> roll 1d20+23 (+6 Law Dev, +2 Charge, -10 PA)
06[01:22] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+23 (+6 Law Dev, +2 Charge, -10 PA) and gets 24." [1d20=1]
06[01:22] * Seira is more subtle than that, using Demedais's wild charge to conceal her own approach until it should be too late to avoid her blade!
[01:23] <Kotono> Demedaid closes in with the brutal monster, but his swing is just too early, his breastplate bulging out from something unseen as he mises!
[01:23] <Kotono> *misses
01[01:23] <Seira> roll 1d20+24
06[01:23] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+24 and gets 25." [1d20=1]
[01:24] <Kotono> Seira swings too quickly as well, the dog avoiding both attacks with a unconcealed look of contemptious boredom! OOC: Alicia.
06[01:24] * Alicia yanks down her blindfold, first off!
[01:24] <Kotono> Alicia yanks down her blindfold! She can see normally again.
[01:24] <Alicia> OOC: what?
[01:25] <Kotono> OOC: Oh, blindsight ENABLED, not disabled. Dur-hurf.
[01:26] <Alicia> OOC: So... can I see our boy?
[01:26] <Kotono> Alicia yanks down her blindfold! She can see it sitting on the throne, one leg crossed over. It's pallid green skin is humanlike, wearing a heavy robe. A longsword rests in one hand. It's head is oblong, piercing eyes looking at Alicia.

06[02:09] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+32 (-2 CE) and gets 35." [1d20=3]
[02:09] <Kotono> roll 1d20+32 (-2 CE)
06[02:09] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+32 (-2 CE) and gets 52." [1d20=20]
[02:09] <Kotono> roll 1d20+32 (-2 CE) crit?
06[02:09] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+32 (-2 CE) crit? and gets 40." [1d20=8]
[02:09] <Kotono> roll 1d20+27
06[02:09] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+27 and gets 43." [1d20=16]
[02:09] <Kotono> roll 1d20+22
06[02:09] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+22 and gets 26." [1d20=4]
[02:09] <Alicia> OOC: AC 35
[02:09] <Kotono> roll 1d20+17
06[02:09] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+17 and gets 29." [1d20=12]
[02:11] <Kotono> roll 4d8+44 and 3 con damage, Alicia.
06[02:11] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 4d8+44 and 3 con damage, Alicia. and gets 64." [4d8=1, 8, 6, 5]
[02:12] <Kotono> Alicia is stabbed back in return, sliced and impaled four times! Critical wounds bleed out from her, her own body ravaged in return! OOC: CHAIN LIGHTNING TIME.
[02:13] <Kotono> OOC: Deme resisted it so it misses him. Seira's next at 12d6, she's still in range and fighting.
[02:13] <Kotono> roll 12d6 ref save, Seira
06[02:13] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 12d6 ref save, Seira and gets 47." [12d6=1, 5, 3, 2, 4, 2, 6, 4, 6, 4, 4, 6]
01[02:13] <Seira> roll 1d20+24
06[02:13] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+24 and gets 26." [1d20=2]
[02:13] <Kotono> roll 11d6 I'd pass this save if I were you or you might be in a spot, Alicia.
06[02:13] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 11d6 I'd pass this save if I were you or you might be in a spot, Alicia. and gets 47." [11d6=2, 6, 4, 5, 4, 5, 4, 2, 5, 4, 6]
[02:14] <Alicia> roll 1d20+17
06[02:14] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+17 and gets 28." [1d20=11]
[02:14] <Kotono> OOC: The others fleed out of radius. Smart of them.
[02:15] <Kotono> The lightning arches out and around, as Pollyanna is outside the room and safe! She nonetheless fires off blind shots at the 'loth!
[02:15] <Kotono> roll 1d20+21
[02:15] <Kotono> roll 1d20+21
06[02:15] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+21 and gets 28." [1d20=7]
06[02:15] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+21 and gets 39." [1d20=18]
[02:15] <Kotono> roll 1d20+16
06[02:15] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+16 and gets 35." [1d20=19]
[02:15] <Kotono> roll 1d20+11
06[02:15] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+11 and gets 28." [1d20=17]
[02:15] <Kotono> But none of them can hit it at all! OOC: Deme'n'Seira girl power tag team is up.
06[02:16] * Seira decides to flip out of immediate range, considering how nasty the beating Alicia took was, and her own inability to stab the creep on her best strike. She draws a trio of darts in midair, charging them with her best spell before trying to send them flying at where her enemy must be!
01[02:16] <Seira> roll 1d20+17 ranged touch, summon monster vi
06[02:16] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+17 ranged touch, summon monster vi and gets 31." [1d20=14]
01[02:16] <Seira> roll 1d100
06[02:17] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d100 and gets 34." [1d100=34]
[02:17] <Kotono> OOC: Hit. d100. Ooooh, bummer.
[02:17] <Kotono> Seira fires blind, but her darts narrowly miss the Ultroloth! OOC: Deme.
06[02:17] * Seira curses in gibberish.
06[02:20] * Demedais grimaces, charging the throne and attempting to cleave whateverג€™s being targeted with one sweeping, holy cut!
[02:21] <Demedais> roll 1d20+39 (+2 Charge, +6 Law Devotion, +7 Smite, +1 GMW all totaled
06[02:21] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+39 (+2 Charge, +6 Law Devotion, +7 Smite, +1 GMW all totaled and gets 47." [1d20=8]
[02:21] <Kotono> OOC ...d100.
[02:21] <Demedais> roll 1d100
06[02:21] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d100 and gets 89." [1d100=89]
[02:21] <Kotono> OOC: Hit.
[02:21] <Demedais> roll 2d6+18 hah!
06[02:21] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 2d6+18 hah! and gets 25." [2d6=5, 2]
[02:22] <Kotono> With that final, desperate charge, Demedais impales the Ultroloth! It's body is bloodied as it's chest caves in! It drops it's blade, bouncing off the throne and to the ground! "Impo..." It tries, "Die...with me..." It licks it's lips as it fades, trying to reach for Alicia's throat, but coming short by an inch, as lightning continues to arch around wildly! OOC: Donald and Amaryl have little to do. Alicia, you're up before the lightning again.
[02:22] <Kotono> OOC: Donald and Amaryl have little to do. Alicia, you're up before the lightning again.
06[02:23] * Alicia desperately heals herself with every iota of magical energy stored in her body, wheeling around in the air and soaring quickly back out of the electrical death chamber!
[02:23] <Alicia> roll 12d4+12
06[02:23] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 12d4+12 and gets 38." [12d4=2, 1, 3, 2, 3, 3, 1, 1, 4, 3, 1, 2]
[02:24] <Kotono> Alicia flees out just in time, as the lightning arches at Demedais(Pointlessly) and Seira once more!
[02:24] <Kotono> roll 12d6 ref Seira
06[02:24] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 12d6 ref Seira and gets 46." [12d6=1, 4, 6, 3, 1, 6, 6, 5, 3, 1, 4, 6]
01[02:24] <Seira> roll 1d2
06[02:24] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d2 and gets 2." [1d2=2]
01[02:24] <Seira> roll 1d20
06[02:24] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20 and gets 16." [1d20=16]
[02:24] <Kotono> Seira dodges the bolt safely, Demedais simply immune! OOC: Polly's up, holding. Seira and Deme.
[02:25] <Kotono> Pollyanna lets loose meaningless words as Alicia flees out of the room!
06[02:25] * Seira leaves the room as well, not seeing a reason to stay!
06[02:25] * Demedais quickly follows Alicia out of the room with as much speed as is possible in full plate! OOC: 40 ft. out.
[02:26] <Kotono> Thus the party retreats out of the electric killing chamber! With incomprehensible words Donald slooowly plops to the ground, staring wide eyed at the lightning and giving the the throne an obscene gesture.
[02:26] <Kotono> OOC: Free act.
06[02:26] * Demedais quickly moves to heal Alicia as well! OOC: 26 HP heal
06[02:26] * Alicia lands outside and lifts up her blindfold, attempting still to heal herself, knowing well that she's running on fumes.
[02:26] <Alicia> roll 1d20+17 CL for cure serious
06[02:26] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+17 CL for cure serious and gets 20." [1d20=3]
06[02:26] * Seira pats Demedais on the shoulder in congratulation!
[02:26] <Alicia> roll 1d100 oh noes
06[02:26] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d100 oh noes and gets 53." [1d100=53]
[02:27] <Kotono> The spell seems to have no effect at all.
[02:27] <Kotono> Donald growls. Dabbing his finger in Alicia's freely flowing blood still, he draws the word 'Home?' in common on the wall.
[02:27] <Alicia> But Demedais does help, and Alicia rewards him with a brilliantly grateful smile. Which fades into a look of confusion as she registers the changes in his appearance, several gibberish words coming out.
06[02:28] * Demedais grimaces and tries a spell, swallowing a bit before he casts it...
[02:28] <Demedais> roll 1d20+8 cl check
06[02:28] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+8 cl check and gets 23." [1d20=15]
[02:28] <Kotono> OOC: Success!
[02:28] <Demedais> OOC: Itג€™s Restoration on Alicia.
[02:28] <Kotono> OOC: Con is restored then.
[02:29] <Kotono> Amaryl looks faintly sick as she watches Donald, 'Seira, are we giong home?'
01[02:29] <Seira> 'After you smack Donald upside the head.'
06[02:29] * Alicia nods to Donald, although she only has one teleport she can hopefully get them close enough for Seira's backup to take them the rest of the way. Beckoning everyone around, she teleports the group to the desert oasis. Hopefully.
[02:29] <Alicia> roll 1d20+16 CL
06[02:29] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+16 CL and gets 24." [1d20=8]
[02:29] <Alicia> roll 1d100 studied carefully
06[02:29] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d100 studied carefully and gets 47." [1d100=47]
[02:29] <Kotono> Woosh! The party appears in the desert oasis without incident!
06[02:30] * Alicia gives a shrug before waving her hands in a negative gesture, hoping to get across that she's out of relevant spells.
06[02:30] * Seira takes out a piece of parchment, and spends a moment to write on it, 'Let's recover a bit here, until we can talk at least?'
[02:30] <Alicia> She suddenly perks up and tries to dispel the enchantment that's affecting their language skills!
[02:30] <Alicia> roll 1d20+12
06[02:30] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+12 and gets 14." [1d20=2]
[02:30] <Kotono> OOC: Who were you targetting? Either way, total fail.
[02:31] <Alicia> OOC: I'm assuming it's a single spell that hit all of us, so I'm targetting that one spell.
[02:31] <Kotono> OOC: It's actually an effect on each of you.
06[02:31] * Demedais grimaces and walks away around the water.
[02:31] <Alicia> OOC: but didn't it come from the one spell Donald cast?
06[02:31] * Seira writes 'That was disgusting!' on her sign and smacks Donald with it.
06[02:32] * Alicia grumbles and nods to Seira, gesturing up to the water above the waterfall before she flies up there to get herself cleaned up.
[02:32] <Kotono> OOC: Yeah, but what the wild surge doesn't isn't always exactly as the spell that triggered it did, you know.
06[02:32] * Demedais stays away from the water on either side, looking out over the desert.
[02:32] <Kotono> Donald glares but shrugs, before looking at Demedais. He follows, pointing at his bulging breastplate.
06[02:33] * Demedais glares at Donald, before pointing him away, back to the lower pool.
06[02:33] * Seira has certainly taken note, especially while leaning over him, but Demedais seems sulky. It seems best to tease him afterwards, when it's just a funny memory. For now, she follows Alicia at a more sedate pace.
[02:33] <Kotono> Donald continues to point, making nonsense as his eyes widen! He keeps on pointing.
[02:33] <Kotono> Pollyanna triple-blinks, eyeing Demedais as well.
06[02:34] * Demedais grimaces and continues to walk off into the desert, stopping another hundred feet away.
[02:34] <Kotono> Donald just stares with a growing grin on his face.
01[02:35] <Seira> roll 1d100 ring TP to Balmuria
06[02:35] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d100 ring TP to Balmuria and gets 40." [1d100=40]

Corwin · March 28, 2012, 03:25:47 PM

[20:56] <Kotono> Okay, you guys were TPing back to Balmuria? What were you guys going to do there?
01[20:57] <Seira> Scry on the cat next day, then TP either to it or back to the ruins
[20:57] <Alicia> Before going back I'll alter self Deme back to his usual studly self if there are no objections.
[20:57] <Demedais> None at all, thankyouverykindly.
[20:57] <Alicia> Won't help him beyond two and a half hours, but better than nothing.
01[20:57] <Seira> Rod of extend spell for an even 5?
[20:58] <Alicia> That's oddly fitting, so sure.
[20:58] <Demedais> >_>;
[20:58] <Alicia> Anyway, scry-age the next day first of all, sure.
[20:58] <Kotono> Okay.
[20:59] <Kotono> What's your DC on scry, Seira?
01[20:59] <Seira> 24? Deme will also scry in hopes of having it 1.
[20:59] <Kotono> roll 1d20 Seira I'll open up it's hseet if it rolls low enough to possibly matter
05[20:59] -atarians.dejatoons.net:@#dunes- Kotono invited Hatbot into the channel.
03[20:59] * Hatbot (~Hatbot@24.174.51.230) has joined #dunes
03[20:59] * Kotono sets mode: +v Hatbot
[20:59] <Kotono> roll 1d20 Seira I'll open up it's hseet if it rolls low enough to possibly matter
06[20:59] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20 Seira I'll open up it's hseet if it rolls low enough to possibly matter and gets 9." [1d20=9]
[21:00] <Kotono> roll 1d20 Deme
06[21:00] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20 Deme and gets 6." [1d20=6]
[21:00] <Kotono> No dice on those, I'm pretty sure.
[21:00] <Alicia> Anyway, time to buff and then head to the ruins?
[21:00] <Kotono> Yes, +17.
[21:01] <Kotono> Okay.
[21:01] <Demedais> OOC: Am I back to male, for reference?
[21:01] <Kotono> Declare your buffs in #evil for everyone once they're worked out.
[21:01] <Kotono> No, it doesn't seem to be durationing out. Alicia's offered to alter self you for now if you like.
[21:01] <Kotono> If ou wanna look into dispel magics or whatever while in Balmuria, by all mean ssay so.
[21:02] <Demedais> If Elle could try and has a use or two, itג€™d be nice?
01[21:02] <Seira> If you want to pose for an artist for postery, that's also fine?
[21:03] <Kotono> Elle can try a few. She'll giggle and try the first one on the house in sympathy for your situation.
[21:03] <Kotono> roll 1d20+15
[21:03] <Demedais> Ahahahahahaha oh you so funny, Seira. Such a wit. ^_^
06[21:03] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+15 and gets 16." [1d20=1]
[21:03] <Kotono> roll 1d20+15
06[21:03] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+15 and gets 27." [1d20=12]
[21:05] <Kotono> She tries twice, no dice. She can try another few times(She'll have to charge after this, though.) if you like.
[21:06] <Demedais> Demedais is willing to pay for this at her usual price, understanding the need to charge even as he is rather uncomfortable about it.
[21:06] <Kotono> roll 1d20+15
06[21:06] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+15 and gets 31." [1d20=16]
[21:07] <Kotono> That try does it. The magic on Demedais cracks like an egg, his twin eggs gone and his normal form resumed.
06[21:07] * Alicia is notably relieved.
[21:07] <Kotono> Pollyanna quietly thanks Helm.
06[21:07] * Seira is just amused all the while.
[21:08] <Kotono> Let me look up the price of Greater dispel magic ot cast real quick.
[21:08] <Demedais> Demedaisג€™ expression seems unchanged too much, but he does deeply thank Elle.
[21:09] <Alicia> Would be 900gp for CL 15
[21:09] <Kotono> roll ...thanks.
[21:09] <Kotono> 900 GP, just toss that in the loot topic and we'll begin then? Spells all ready?
[21:09] <Alicia> Yep
[21:10] <Kotono> Okay. Begin your TPs?
[21:10] <Alicia> roll 1d100 oasis studied carefully
06[21:10] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d100 oasis studied carefully and gets 24." [1d100=24]
[21:10] <Alicia> roll 1d20+16 CL for ruins?
06[21:10] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+16 CL for ruins? and gets 31." [1d20=15]
[21:10] <Kotono> Success. Where in them before you roll?
[21:11] <Alicia> Steel jungle
[21:11] <Kotono> Okay.
[21:11] <Alicia> roll 1d100 seen casually
06[21:11] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d100 seen casually and gets 98." [1d100=98]
[21:11] <Alicia> This is why rolling wild magic is silly, since we're not even going to touch the ruins.
[21:11] <Alicia> Similar area.
[21:12] <Kotono> Woosh! The party appears...in a jungle, at least. The rainbow colored jungle, filtered sunlight making it through the canopy. The fresh air, the heat, the humidity, the lack of metal all point to being above ground. So does the pair of T-Rexes about 150 feet away, feasting on a downed lizard of some sort.
[21:13] <Alicia> "Slight mishap, hold on tight and don't make any loud noises," Alicia suggests, trying again before the dinosaurs take note of their presence.
[21:13] <Alicia> roll 1d20+16 CL
06[21:13] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+16 CL and gets 22." [1d20=6]
[21:13] <Demedais> ג€œ...ג€ Demedais holds his hand up quickly, nodding to Alica as he regrasps hands.
[21:13] <Kotono> OOC: d100.
[21:14] <Alicia> roll 1d100
06[21:14] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d100 and gets 2." [1d100=2]
02[21:14] * Demedais (~ferixstad@24-247-220-129.dhcp.klmz.mi.charter.com) Quit (asdfgfdsa)
03[21:15] * Taishyr (~ferixstad@24-247-220-129.dhcp.klmz.mi.charter.com) has joined #dunes
03[21:15] * ChanServ sets mode: +o Taishyr
03[21:15] * Kotono is now known as Demedais
03[21:15] * Demedais is now known as Kotono
03[21:15] * Taishyr is now known as Demedais
[21:17] <Kotono> Woosh! This time you appear in the steel jungle! Around you the area is quiet - however, Alicia smells something like a skunk, the stentch a painful nose-pounding!
06[21:17] * Alicia grimaces and quickly steps back from the group. "One second," she requests, pinching her nose as she attempts to cast prestidigitation. It's a risk but she's not going to smell like this all day.
[21:17] <Alicia> roll 1d20+16 CL
06[21:17] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+16 CL and gets 27." [1d20=11]
[21:17] <Kotono> Donald steps away from Alicia, "Whew. I liked it better when it made Deme alot more fun to look at."
[21:18] <Kotono> The magic works, the smell dissipating.
01[21:18] <Seira> "It seems like you have some competition, now," Seira tells Pollyanna with a meaningful glance at Donald.
06[21:18] * Alicia just gives Donald a dirty look, starting to head into the fortress.
[21:19] <Kotono> "Oh come on! I heard the jokes when MY magic went wrong here," Following along with Alicia, "Besides, you're just jealous. From the way that breastplate bulged, Deme was more of a woman than all of you."
[21:20] <Kotono> Pollyanna groans out loud. "Donald. Don't."
01[21:20] <Seira> "Oh come on," Seira calls over to him. "Those were obviously fake!"
[21:21] <Alicia> "Typical. Can't see farther than the lumps on our chest," Alicia shakes her head in irritation.
06[21:21] * Demedais just follows Alicia, staying alongside Pollyanna, with a bemused face.
06[21:22] * Alicia intends to head for the 'museum' and the Yugoloth room first of all.
[21:22] <Kotono> "Pfft. Haven't you ever wanted to curl up with a pair of them and rest between them?" Donald smirks, "Heck, I know Seira and Amaryl certainly have." As you walk back, past the black gate and into the main entryway, yo udon't see much amiss at all. It's quiet enough right now.
[21:23] <Kotono> "Donald. Wisdom comes from knowing when not to open your mouth, not spraying it about like a drunken satyr," Amaryl lightly goes to him, "This is not only crude, it's inapproriate."
06[21:23] * Seira mentally docks some pay from Donald.
[21:24] <Alicia> "Really, Donald, that was uncalled for," Alicia agrees. "Whoever it was that you'd rather had kissed you instead of me yesterday, I can assure you they wouldn't be impressed by that sort of talk."
[21:24] <Kotono> "Yeah, well..." Donald just shrugs, "You know what? I'm facing down creatures that could slaughter a city a few years ago. I'm going to at least have some fun while I risk my life in incomprehensible ways." As you reach the entrance to the museum of the outer planes, "I remember when Febras was a big deal, but he's a kitten compared to these things."
[21:24] <Demedais> "Donald, I'm going to be somewhat blunt here. If we were not in a potential combat zone I would proceed to knock you senseless with the flat of my blade."
[21:24] <Demedais> "I don't mind you having fun, but if you need to do so do it at my expense.
[21:24] <Kotono> Donald turns very red at Alicia's words and then Demedais', muttering something incoherent and shutting up.
[21:25] <Demedais> Do not insult the rest of the team, please." Demedais finishes his commentary, continuing to move on.
[21:25] <Kotono> The party reaches in front of the Ultroloth's room without incident. The door is still open, silent. The room is broken apart, deep scorch marks where the lightning manifested.
[21:26] <Alicia> Alicia's eyes glow blue as she steps inside, looking around for any magic.
[21:26] <Alicia> roll 1d20+17 CL
06[21:26] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+17 CL and gets 21." [1d20=4]
[21:26] <Alicia> roll 1d100 should've precast this
06[21:26] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d100 should've precast this and gets 15." [1d100=15]
01[21:26] <Seira> "I'll check if it's safe," Seira announces, proceeding with that.
[21:26] <Kotono> The spell triggers normally enough.
01[21:26] <Seira> roll 1d20+29 search
06[21:26] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+29 search and gets 39." [1d20=10]
01[21:27] <Seira> OOC: traps
[21:28] <Alicia> "Magic sword - as if the wounds it inflicted weren't obvious," Alicia comments, pointing at the throne. Walking over she picks it up and gives it a few practice swings before dumping it in the portable hole.
01[21:28] <Seira> roll 1d20+29 search for interesting stuff
06[21:28] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+29 search for interesting stuff and gets 32." [1d20=3]
06[21:28] * Demedais nods. "Alright. There was a cross-species room as well, if I read it correctly? That may be our next best bet.
01[21:29] <Seira> "Ah, yes. The most disturbing so-called exhibit. I've tried to put it off for as much as possible, until now," Seira says unhappily.
01[21:29] <Seira> roll 1d20+26 K:A
06[21:29] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+26 K:A and gets 41." [1d20=15]
[21:30] <Demedais> "That's understandable." Demedais mutters. "Still, there might be something of use about the greater oozecat."
[21:32] <Alicia> Folding up her portable hole once more, Alicia rejoins the group in the hallway. "That's a wholesome thought," she remarks dourly, going to open the last door.
[21:34] <Kotono> You go to this door! Inside, you come to a steel hallway. Ahead are several glass panes on either side of the wall, too far ahead to see what lies in them form here. Each pane is large, about ten feet by five feet or so.
06[21:34] * Seira steels herself and steps forward to see whether anything alive is past the doorway.
06[21:34] * Alicia walks down the hallway, looking in each window for anything... eye-catching.
[21:36] <Kotono> 'Welcome. Do bear in mind that crossbreeds are often extremely unstable. Exercise extreme caution,' A voice sounds in your minds. As the two women take the point, the first two glass windows are reached. In each is a simple bed and a plain steel room, often with magical runes at points. The one on the left is empty. Th eone on the r ight has an ever shifting, ever changing frog made of clockwork gears. It contiously runs around in it's room. I
[21:36] <Kotono> It contiously runs around in it's room. It's a little larger than a human, it's colors shifting between various shades of metal.
[21:37] <Demedais> "That's just..." Demedais eyes.
01[21:37] <Seira> "Didn't need to see that," Seira mutters, stepping past it.
[21:37] <Kotono> "Pointless. Is it even sane?" Pollyanna holds a hand ot her chest.
[21:37] <Alicia> "Hello? Can you hear us?" Alicia taps on the window, looking to see if there are any doors for access.
[21:38] <Kotono> On tapping on the window, a voice sounds in Alicia's head. 'This is Subject C2. It does not understand language and is not appraised as dangerous. The crossmerging of law and chaos has resulted in a creature that lacks intellect, unable to resolve the fundamental issues tearing it's core apart.'
[21:39] <Alicia> "They claim it's mindless... I'll leave it for now, I suppose, but we should let it out before we leave. Not even an animal deserves this," Alicia reflects sadly, following after Seira.
[21:39] <Demedais> "...I... right. Perhaps there's somewhere that's willing to adopt it?" Demedais suggests halfheartedly.
[21:40] <Kotono> "Take it to Lathander's realm. They were kind there...if anyone can help it.." Amaryl murmurs quietly.
[21:40] <Demedais> "Amaryl's suggestion would work, I think." Demedais nods.
01[21:41] <Seira> "It gets my vote," Seira agrees.
[21:42] <Alicia> "Maybe... the outer planes might not be the best place for such a conflicted being, though," Alicia muses as they check the other cells.
[21:42] <Kotono> As Seira advances, she reaches the next two windows. The one on the right is empty - it's bed is overturned, splotchy blood all over the room. The one on the left is a beautiful creature sitting there. It's white wings and bare body are overwhelmingly male, yet it's head features short black horns and it's lower legs turn into furry hooves. It is staring at the glass asSeira approaches, sprinting up and pressing it's body against it, staring
[21:42] <Kotono> It is staring at the glass asSeira approaches, sprinting up and pressing it's body against it, staring into her eyes.
01[21:43] <Seira> That's a clear invitation, and Seira approaches the glass from her side. "Hello," she greets the creature. "I'm Seira. Who are you?"
06[21:43] * Demedais eyes the being a bit warily, head tilted but willing to let Seira lead.
[21:43] <Kotono> It stares at Seira, eyes wide. It speaks one word of Gnomish, over and over. "Mother? Mother? Mother? Mother? Mother?"
06[21:44] * Seira glances at Alicia awkwardly. "I think he wants me to adopt him," she says, trailing off.
[21:45] <Alicia> "He's better off than the last one, although his mental state is probably questionable..." Alicia looks at the being with sad eyes. "Is the announcer telling you anything about him?" she asks, tapping her fingertips on the pane.
06[21:45] * Demedais muses. "Seira, tap the glass- thanks, Alicia."
06[21:45] * Seira blinks at Alicia's words, but follows her gesture.
[21:46] <Kotono> As Alicia taps on the pane, words fill her mind, and then Seira's as she repeats it. 'Subject C3 is a crossbreed of Yugoloth and Angel. It's good aligned nature is dominate. While able to form coherent thought and intelligent, it has not progesssed past a natal level of intellect. It is dangerous if provoked, much like a child.'
[21:47] <Kotono> The creature stares at Alicia's wings, mouth opening wide and with rapt eyes.
06[21:47] * Seira bites on her lower lip, before trying again. "Hi," she says, switching to Gnomish. "I'm Seira. Who are you?"
[21:47] <Kotono> "Mother? Mother?" It quirks it's head, "I'm Seira. Who are you?" It repeats in Gnomish.
06[21:48] * Seira can't help but wonder how something incapable of telling right from wrong can possibly be good or evil. Nevertheless, she tries smiling at the creature, to see whether the act is reciprocated.
06[21:48] * Demedais shakes his head slightly. "Ah... I realize that the good-aligned planes are not centers for those that the Gnomish broke, but I cannot but think that it's our only real option."
[21:48] <Kotono> The creature smiles back at Seira. "Hi! I'm Seira! Who are you?" it repeats.
[21:49] <Kotono> "It's the only merciful thing to do," Donald looks away, "I vote we do that as soon as possible."
[21:50] <Alicia> "They say his intellect never advanced, but how much stimulation did they give him? It's like a child raised by wolves," Alicia shakes her head.
01[21:50] <Seira> He may not understand the words, but the meaning behind them should be clear, when she is sincere. "I will free you and take you to your home," Seira promises.
[21:50] <Kotono> "All this in the name of the glory of the God King, eh?" Pollyanna takes a moment to gargle and then spit in disgust, "I'm thankful all over again that the Gods put paid to every last one of them."
[21:50] <Kotono> "I will free you and take you to your home! Hi, I'm Seira! Mother?" It repeats in a chorus, flapping it's wings and tapping it's hooves.
01[21:50] <Seira> "That's not really fair," Seira tells Pollyanna quietly. "There were plenty of gnomes who resisted this, and were annihilated by their own kind."
[21:51] <Demedais> "Pretty much, Alicia. He shows the capability to learn, but, like everything else, the gnomes wasted it." Demedais shakes his head.
[21:52] <Alicia> "I think it would be cruel to leave him here while we explore the rest of the ruins - he won't understand and will think we abandoned him," Alicia notes. "Lets see what else has been abandoned here then see about getting them all out before we resume our explorations?"
[21:52] <Kotono> "Yeah," Donald says very quietly, starting to walk ahead.
06[21:53] * Seira nods curtly, fully agreeing.
[21:53] <Kotono> "Gnomes and devils. Devils and gnomes. Not much of a difference?" Pollyanna mutters darkly. The next two rooms are empty, though there are four more after that, then a door at the end of the hall.
[21:54] <Demedais> "Agreed. Let's keep looking." Demedais says, before saying to the being "We'll be right back." and moving ahead with the group.
[21:54] <Alicia> "I'll stay here - yell if you need help?" Alicia suggests, not wanting to frighten the poor hybrid by leaving it all alone.
[21:54] <Kotono> OOC: Okay. I'll chuck you into #terror then, Alicia.
06[21:55] * Seira is reluctant to leave him as well, opting to stay with Alicia.
[21:55] <Kotono> The pair befor ethe last pair has one empty. The one on the right has something, though. Namely, the glass is tinted dark. A single word is engraved into the glass, 'CAUTION' and below it, 'TOUCH FOR INFORMATION.' OOC: #terror as well, Seira.

---

[21:55] <Kotono> ---
[21:56] <Kotono> Alicia and Seira stay. The creature behind the glass stares at them, smiling. It holds it's hands up. In it, plain gruel and water appear, pressed against the glass several times.
06[21:57] * Alicia smiles wanly, pressing her own hand against the glass. "Don't worry, little one. We'll get you out of here soon, then we can eat together," she reassures in a soft voice. "Poor thing, left alone so long and not even understanding why..."
[21:58] <Kotono> "Don't worry, little one," It says, licking up a bit of the food. It's tongue is forked, like a snake's. "Mother? Mother?"
06[21:58] * Seira chances calling upon faerie lights for entertainment, feeling out of her element.
[21:59] <Kotono> OOC: CL check.
03[22:00] * Hatbot (~Hatbot@24.174.51.230) has joined #terrorofdunes
01[22:00] <Seira> roll 1d20+17
06[22:00] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+17 and gets 33." [1d20=16]
[22:00] <Kotono> The fearie fire appears, the creature watching them with utterly focused attention.
06[22:00] * Alicia idly wonders which one was even the mother in the unnatural pairing that produced this being. She decides to sing him a lullaby, something calm and soothing remembered from her cut-short period of motherhood, mostly meaningless rhymes and humming.
[22:01] <Kotono> OOC: Make a charisma check, +2 since Seira's lights are calming it?
06[22:01] * Seira summons the full range of colors available from the spell!
[22:01] <Alicia> roll 1d20+10
06[22:01] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+10 and gets 20." [1d20=10]
[22:01] <Kotono> Watching the lights and listening to Alicia, the creature lies down on the floor. It's eyes close, sleep coming to it within about a minute.
06[22:02] * Alicia keeps up the humming a little longer once it's settled down before observing, "Most outsiders don't even sleep... but what else to do to occupy the time here?"
01[22:03] <Seira> "If you don't know what you're missing, it may not matter to you," she whispers back. "To us, he's been jailed all this time. To him, though?"
[22:06] <Alicia> "He has to know there's more - why else would he call out for his mother?" Alicia asks. "I wonder... his parents are probably still out there, somewhere. Although one of them is unlikely to care much."
01[22:08] <Seira> "If the gnomes experimented on him as the announcement suggested, he might feel safe from them in this room," Seira muses, before her face twists. "Mother, was it? Maybe we'll be able to find the records, or that succubus could tell us more."
[22:10] <Kotono> As they talk, Amaryl comes back in a pallid tizzy. She goes to Seira's side, "I-I' think I'll stay out here now."
[22:10] <Alicia> "Possibly," Alicia agrees, looking down the hallway to see Demedais and company peering into the far door. "What did you find?" she asks Amaryl.
01[22:11] <Seira> "That bad?" Seira asks sympathetically, taking Amaryl's hand.
[22:11] <Kotono> "...the room where...maybe, they made them."
[22:11] <Kotono> "Hey, Seira or Alicia!" Donald bellows back. "Deme wants one of you to hlep."
[22:11] <Alicia> "He's asleep now, anyway... I'll brave it," Alicia nods, heading over to join Donald.
[22:12] <Kotono> OOC: #dunes, Alicia.
[22:12] <Kotono> "Yeah," Amaryl says quietly.
01[22:13] <Seira> "We do come across a lot of nastiness in our line of work," Seira says with a sigh. "Wish it were different."
[22:14] <Kotono> "It's so...extreme." Sliding next to Seira, "I...I suppose, that after a place like Lathander's realm or Elysium, the extremes seem worse, too. But I don't have the resiliency of an angel to take these things in stride."
01[22:22] <Seira> "I don't think we need to take it in stride," Seira muses out loud in response. "I might, but I'm a special case, and even I'm not immune to it all. But as long as we see it as sparing the people of this world from going through such horrors, what we do gets a lot of meaning, doesn't it?"
[22:22] <Kotono> "Y...yeah," Amaryl says quietly. Befores he has a chance to reply, "Hey Seira," Donald walks up, "You're needed. Trapped or locked door."
01[22:23] <Seira> "It's always something," she mutters. Giving Amaryl a smile, Seira heads for the room at the end of the corridor.
[22:23] <Kotono> Donald lingers while Seira goes off! OOC: #dunes.

---

06[21:56] * Demedais taps it, being the represenative here of the Gnomish-speakers.
[21:57] <Kotono> 'Subject C8 is extremely dangerous. It is a crossbreed of a Lilitu demon and a brachina devil. The sight of it is enough to make one fall in love with it. Only view with proper permissions and protections!'
[21:59] <Demedais> "Right, we're ignoring this one for now." Demedais comments, waving the group on. "Powerful magic, triggers on sight with the specimen."
[21:59] <Kotono> "What's it do?" Donald trots along with Demedais.
[22:00] <Demedais> "It's the combination of a demon and a devil. You do the math. Apparently it's quite bewitching, but also sounds deadly." With that he checks the remainder of the rooms before glancing to the door.
[22:00] <Kotono> The last two are both empty. Only the door is ahead - a plain steel door, gnomish style.
[22:01] <Demedais> "You guys stand back in case it's trapped, but it shouldn't be." Demedais waits until the group's thirty feet away before opening it.
[22:06] <Kotono> The door opens! Ahead is a large chamber. Strange clockwork machines and magical runes line the places. The designs are curious to the sexually profane. Hanging from walls are various explicit diagrams of outsiders, focusing on the reproductive systems. A pair of doors are in the room, on on the side of the back wall, and one on fthe left wall's midsection.
[22:07] <Demedais> "Oh, geez." Demedais grunts.
[22:08] <Demedais> This being said, he looks in and peers about!
[22:08] <Demedais> roll 1d20+26 spot
06[22:08] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+26 spot and gets 41." [1d20=15]
[22:08] <Kotono> Amaryl steps back, turning pale. "E-Excuse me," she scurries away, back towards Seira.
[22:08] <Kotono> Donald just whistles, "Makes sense to have this, but..."
[22:09] <Demedais> "But it's sickening." Demedais mutters.
[22:10] <Kotono> The diagrams cover all the outsiders Demedais could imagine, and then some. There's runes and clockwork devices here that do Gods only know what. Tucked away in the back, Demedais finds a glass encased cabinet, unlocked. Inside are several glass vials of a purple-pink fluid.
[22:10] <Demedais> "Someone get Seira or Alicia. The help could be used in looking this place over." Demedais leaves the cabinet open for easier reference.
[22:11] <Kotono> Donald goes to the door and shouts out for Seira or Alicia.
06[22:12] * Alicia trots over, looking into the room with her magic seeing eyes, expression unreadable.
[22:12] <Demedais> "Thank you, Donald." Demedais says somewhat dryly, examining some of the clockwork devices with his eyes to try and understand their purpose.
[22:14] <Alicia> roll 1d20+10 spellcraft potions
06[22:14] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+10 spellcraft potions and gets 25." [1d20=15]
[22:14] <Alicia> roll 1d20+10 spellcraft door
06[22:14] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+10 spellcraft door and gets 28." [1d20=18]
[22:15] <Alicia> "Enchantment... love potions I'd bet," Alicia observes with a grimace, putting them into the portable hole. She then walks over and taps the left hand door experimentally.
[22:16] <Kotono> 'Entrance forbidden,' Sounds in Alicia's mind.
[22:16] <Demedais> "Yeah, that was my guess, Alicia." Demedais grimaces.
[22:16] <Kotono> "For when you have to have fun with a giant frog," Pollyanna looks ill.
[22:16] <Alicia> "Says entrance forbidden, so it's something our tokens probably won't help with," Alicia steps back from the door. "We'll need Seira to disarm it."
[22:17] <Demedais> "Right."
[22:17] <Demedais> roll 1d20+2 int check
06[22:17] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+2 int check and gets 11." [1d20=9]
[22:19] <Kotono> "I'll go get her," Donald volunteers, trotting out of the room this time.
06[22:19] * Alicia does go to try and open the door on the back wall, however.
[22:19] <Demedais> "These gear constructs look themed toward the same concepts, as well." Demedais muses. "Odd."
[22:20] <Kotono> This door opens easily enough. It leads to a narrow, short stairway going down. It would be possible to go down it, but you'd have to hunch over.
[22:20] <Demedais> "Any ideas what all the runes mean, Alicia?" Demedais asks, turning to see her open the door and look down. "Stairway?"
06[22:20] * Alicia elects to leave it for the moment, preferring to see what can be found behind the forbidden door. "Hmm?" she turns her attention speculatively to the runes...
[22:21] <Alicia> roll 1d20+10 spellcraft
06[22:21] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+10 spellcraft and gets 30." [1d20=20]
06[22:23] * Alicia sighs. "They make the love potions stronger. You really don't want anything to hit you with a charm spell around here, trust me," she warns.
[22:24] <Kotono> Seira enters at this point, coming into the room. Meanwhile, "I wish I'd been wrong," Pollyann asighs with her whole body. "Helm above, what possessed the God King and his followers? It's like a child that set s adog's tail on fire just ot see it squirm."
[22:24] <Demedais> "...Then keep Donald away from the black window back there." Demedais says shortly before Donald re-enters.
[22:25] <Kotono> Donald seems to have not returned with Seira, at least not immediately.
[22:25] <Alicia> "Why? What's behind it?" Alicia asks, poking her head out the door to have a look at said window.
[22:25] <Demedais> "Uh... a cross between a Lilitu demon and a brachina devil."
06[22:26] * Seira takes the room in, raising an eyebrow. "So what's here you wanted me to take a look at?"
[22:26] <Kotono> The window is tinted black, unable to be seen into it.
01[22:26] <Seira> roll 1d20+11 int for gears o'porn?
06[22:26] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+11 int for gears o'porn? and gets 12." [1d20=1]
[22:26] <Demedais> "That door. Apparently it's locked and 'access is forbidden' or something.
01[22:27] <Seira> roll 1d20+29 searching door for traps it is
06[22:27] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+29 searching door for traps it is and gets 35." [1d20=6]
01[22:27] <Seira> Nothing to do but get everyone to stay back and try to disable the trap!
01[22:28] <Seira> roll 1d20+30 DD
06[22:28] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+30 DD and gets 36." [1d20=6]
[22:28] <Alicia> "Interesting..." Alicia blinks at Demedais's appraisal, leaving it alone for now and stepping back inside while Seira works on the door.
06[22:28] * Demedais nods at Seira's usual warning, moving back.
[22:28] <Kotono> Click! With some effort, Seira is able to unlock the door!
01[22:29] <Seira> "It wasn't very trappy," Seira says, frowning. "Is that even a word?" And burnt by recent experiences, checks for traps anew.
01[22:29] <Seira> roll 1d20+29
06[22:29] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+29 and gets 31." [1d20=2]
06[22:30] * Seira glances at what's past the door.
[22:30] <Kotono> OOC: Opening it.
01[22:30] <Seira> OOC: Yes
[22:30] <Kotono> OOC: As a quesiton, even.
[22:31] <Kotono> Ahead is a hallway. It's lit, light shining on as you approach. There's a pair of doors twenty feet away. Sixty feet past those is a small elevator. It's quite a bit warmer in this hall, head coming out of it like from the spout of a teapot.
[22:31] <Kotono> *heat
06[22:32] * Alicia pokes her head back into the hallway. "Donald? Amaryl? We're moving on now," she calls over, not wanting the party to get too split up.
01[22:32] <Seira> "I wonder if a dragon's here," Seira voices, waiting for everyone to catch up.
[22:32] <Kotono> Amaryl takes a breath and follows along, as does Donald.
[22:32] <Demedais> "...In these cramped corridors? That's a cheerful thought. Let's check the doors first? I'd... rather not deal with elevators right now." Demedais comments.
[22:33] <Kotono> "Why not?" Pollyanna asks as she peers ahead.
06[22:33] * Alicia takes the obvious hint and casts a warding against fire on herself before going towards the doors.
01[22:33] <Seira> roll 2#1d20+29 search traps on doors
06[22:33] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 2#1d20+29 search traps on doors and gets 74." [2#1d20+29 = 44, 30]
[22:33] <Demedais> "Just memories of the last elevator trap."
[22:33] <Alicia> roll 1d20+16 CL for resist energy
06[22:33] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+16 CL for resist energy and gets 26." [1d20=10]
[22:34] <Kotono> The spell triggers without incident.
[22:34] <Alicia> "Anyone want to risk me casting protection against fire on them?" Alicia asks after her spell goes off flawlessly.
[22:35] <Kotono> "I will," Donald raises his hand.
[22:35] <Kotono> "Likewise," Pollyanna considers after a moment. Amaryl shakes her head, however.
01[22:35] <Seira> As various preparations are being made, Seira tries to open the door to the left.
06[22:35] * Alicia gives the two the benefit of her magic!
[22:35] <Alicia> roll 1d20+16 CL Donald
06[22:35] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+16 CL Donald and gets 24." [1d20=8]
[22:35] <Alicia> roll 1d20+16 CL Polly
06[22:35] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+16 CL Polly and gets 28." [1d20=12]
[22:36] <Demedais> "I'm fine." Demedais shrugs.
[22:37] <Kotono> The spells trigger without incident. Meanwhile, Seira opens the door. It leads to a pleasant, cooled sitting room. A carpet is here, a fireplace with a cheery fire and several chairs. A painting above the fireplace is of the God-King, fearsome. Several vases are about, a few paintings of underground caverns, and several curios of a shelf.
[22:37] <Kotono> *on a shelf
06[22:37] * Seira startles! Could it be the trapped carpet of fiery doom that she'd wanted to take home and never could?
06[22:38] * Alicia peers into the room for any magic of note.
06[22:38] * Demedais looks around the room as well for anything of note.
[22:38] <Demedais> roll 1d20+26 spot, just in case.
06[22:38] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+26 spot, just in case. and gets 38." [1d20=12]
01[22:39] <Seira> roll 1d20+29 are you the trapped carpet of doom?
06[22:39] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+29 are you the trapped carpet of doom? and gets 49." [1d20=20]
[22:39] <Alicia> "Nothing magical," Alicia notes. "I wonder how it's cooled... and what's keeping that fire going..." she starts to frown. "I think we should be careful, it's obviously warded against divination."
01[22:40] <Seira> Seira's face falls. "Well, maybe next time," she mutters, before making her way towards the shelf by flying above the carpet.
[22:41] <Demedais> "There's some sort of rock-and-gem thing over there." Demedais notes, pointing to it. "Aside from that.... you're possibly right, yes, Alicia. Perhaps..." Demedais frowns, before watching Seira advance, glaive switched in.
06[22:41] * Alicia pulls her blindfold down for a second in case there's anything invisible in the room that will be revealed.
[22:43] <Alicia> "Hmm," Alicia lifts it back up. "Nothing invisible, at least." With nothing to keep her interest, she opens the opposite door.
[22:43] <Kotono> Seira reaches the shelf. It's full of various curios. There's a geode lined with silver, a pair of dice made out of some sort of pink rock, a goat-demon's head in minature, bronzed, a few white feathers that look to have been dipped in golden dust, a brassy scale large enough to perhaps be a dragon's scale, a gold coin of strange make, a wooden carving of a conical cap, a teardrop gemstone surrounded by a solid, stable skin of water.
[22:43] <Kotono> a teardrop gemstone surrounded by a solid, stable skin of water.
[22:44] <Kotono> Alicia opens the other door. It looks to be one half office and one half bedroom. The office side is obliterated - utterly scorched. Some of the bedroom seems to survive, including most of a bed, unruined.
01[22:44] <Seira> roll 1d20+29 are you trapped, shelf?
06[22:44] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+29 are you trapped, shelf? and gets 45." [1d20=16]
[22:44] <Alicia> Any magic in here?
06[22:45] * Seira just decides to collect the curios, seeing no reason not to.
[22:45] <Alicia> roll 1d20+10 spellcraft
06[22:45] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+10 spellcraft and gets 11." [1d20=1]
06[22:45] * Alicia goes to look under the bed!
[22:46] <Kotono> Under the bed looks to be a book. It's a bit scorched, but is otherwise intact. It's blue bound and a bit on the thick side.
06[22:47] * Alicia picks the book up and opens it to the first page to see if any of it's in a respectable language.
[22:48] <Alicia> "Found a book on metamagic here," Alicia waves it briefly before it goes into the portable hole. "That's about everything in here of note."
01[22:49] <Seira> "Found some souveniers," Seira calls over. "How about taking the picture as well? I don't think we actually brought along anything clearer than some faded images of Daa-vid on old coins."
[22:51] <Alicia> "Well, if you really want it," Alicia shrugs, going over to take down the painting and put it in the portable hole, frame and all. "Now, do we take the elevator or the stairs?"
01[22:54] <Seira> "Stairs?"
[22:54] <Demedais> "Hopefully, the tokens will protect us from the evil elevator traps." Demedais says, a bit flippantly.
[22:55] <Alicia> "There was a stairway back in the room with all the gears and runes," Alicia nods her head back. "But lets try the elevator since we're here," she agrees, heading onwards.
01[22:55] <Seira> "No elevator has managed to kill us yet," Seira agrees.
[22:55] <Kotono> "The one in the desert came close," Donald mutters.
[22:55] <Demedais> "Yeah." Demedais nods.
01[22:56] <Seira> "It's not the drop but the sudden stop at the end?"
[22:57] <Kotono> The elevator is pretty small - it'll only fit four people in, maximum, on a glance.
01[22:58] <Seira> "Let's take it three at a time?" Seira suggests.
[22:58] <Demedais> "Seira, Alicia, Donald, you three go first?" Demedais suggests.
06[22:58] * Alicia doesn't particularly care and duly steps on.
[22:58] <Kotono> Donald shrugs and gets intothe elevator. "Wish us luck."
06[22:58] * Seira looks for the switch to operate it.
[22:59] <Kotono> There is a switch set into the wall.
[22:59] <Demedais> "Good luck." Demedais nods.
01[22:59] <Seira> roll 1d20+29 are you trapped?
06[22:59] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+29 are you trapped? and gets 42." [1d20=13]
06[23:00] * Seira flips the switch.
[23:01] <Kotono> Thus, the elevator goes doooown! OOC: #terror, you two.

---

[23:01] <Kotono> --
[23:02] <Kotono> Down the elevator goes! AS it does, you feel more heat welling up. As you go down, hotter and hotter washes of air bathe the party! However, the magic(and Seira's natural immunity) prevent anything from coming to it. Nonetheless, the air begins to wobble and shimmer with waves of heat.
06[23:03] * Alicia is glad she took the time to cast that spell, content to patiently wait till they reach the bottom.
06[23:03] * Seira worries over Amaryl's refusal to accept Alicia's help in that department, and draws her sword as the elevator continues down, just in case.
[23:08] <Kotono> After about a minute of going down, the heat is bastingly hot! But you come to the end! Ahead of you is a vast open cavern, farther than the eye can see. Beams of rainbow colored force make walkways, hanging chains of liquid metal forming boundaries to them. They criss cross, dozens of them going about. Below, there is no floor beyond about ten feet. Instead, about a hundred feet down, is a rich, deep pool of molten red magma. Dotted
[23:08] <Kotono> is a rich, deep pool of molten red magma. Dotted about, closer to the bottom, are heavy metallic cups of gigantuan size. They take the magma, hissing and popping, up with great scoops. They then rise up of their own volition to the ceiling and vanish away. They then reappear about 20 seconds later, going down and repeating this. (More)
[23:09] <Kotono> There aren't any other doors the party can see, though you'd need to spend some time searching. Visibilty isn't great with the heat waves. Several hundred feet ahead, a wide pillar of stone rises up from the magma, seemingly unaffected by it. Atop it a sturdy building of some sort lies.
01[23:10] <Seira> "Think we could one day do something like this back hom--" Seira starts saying, before cutting off abruptly, leaning on Donald's shoulder.
[23:10] <Kotono> "Huh?" Donald blink-blinks, "Seira?"
[23:10] <Alicia> "I have no idea what this has to do with cross-breeding experiments," Alicia deadpans as she steps off the lift and looks around. She then looks to Seira in concern at her aborted statement.
01[23:11] <Seira> "Something bad happened here," she says with some effort. "I'll stay near the lift for a bit."
[23:12] <Kotono> "How the helldo you know that," Donald squints through the heat haze.
06[23:13] * Seira grimaces. "Lagann. I might be reading the overwhelming emotions incorrectly, though. Would you like to try?"
[23:13] <Alicia> Bad things seemed to happen everywhere in this pit, Alicia thinks... "Do you want to go back up?" she asks. "See if any of the others want to investigate that structure over there?"
[23:14] <Kotono> roll 1d20
06[23:14] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20 and gets 1." [1d20=1]
06[23:15] * Seira tries to deduce the direction Lagann is forcing into her head.
01[23:16] <Seira> "I could ask," she finally responds to Alicia. "But would you terribly mind if we checked it out ourselves, first? We can all fly, and heat's not an issue. Neither is facing a sudden attack."
[23:17] <Alicia> "It would be quicker," Alicia admits. "You can let Amaryl know what we're doing?" she asks, flapping her wings and lifting off as she starts to tilt towards the pillar.
06[23:18] * Seira pauses, tilting her head. "I think we can turn out the... lava? Some mechanism. Worth a chance."
01[23:19] <Seira> 'It's very hot down here,' Seira thinks to Amaryl. 'The lift itself goes for a minute and comes to a pit of lava. There seems to be something that was stolen from Lagann here, and we'll try to find a way to make the heat manageable. Can you wait for us for a bit?'
[23:19] <Kotono> "Sure," Donald readies his sword, checking over his gear.
06[23:19] * Alicia starts to fly over towards the pillar, reducing her speed so as not to go too far ahead of the other two.
06[23:20] * Seira flies parallel to Alicia, guiding herself from Lagann's directions.
[23:20] <Kotono> Thus, the party begins to fly along! As you get closer, you can see the building is about the size of a medium sized normal house. It's had iron barred doors that seem to sizzle with heat. The rest of it is built of black and gray stone.
06[23:21] * Seira looks for the back entrance.
06[23:21] * Alicia looks over the structure for magic as they near it.
[23:21] <Kotono> There's no back entrance that Seira can see. Just one set of doors.
01[23:22] <Seira> Confused, Seira looks for anything that could be termed control runes.
[23:22] <Alicia> roll 1d20+10 spellcraft
06[23:22] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+10 spellcraft and gets 30." [1d20=20]
[23:23] <Kotono> OOC: Spot?
01[23:24] <Seira> roll 1d20+17
06[23:24] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+17 and gets 27." [1d20=10]
[23:25] <Alicia> "Abjuration magic all over the structure," Alicia reports. "Not too strong, though. Shall we try the door?"
06[23:25] * Seira thinks gnomish thoughts, looking it over!
01[23:25] <Seira> roll 1d20+28 UMD?
06[23:25] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+28 UMD? and gets 38." [1d20=10]
01[23:26] <Seira> roll 1d20+29 search traps
06[23:26] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+29 search traps and gets 38." [1d20=9]
[23:26] <Kotono> Nothing happens. The doors inside don't seem to be trapped.
06[23:26] * Seira tries to open the doors like any proper gnome would.
[23:27] <Kotono> The doors open! Inside is one large chamber. Several circular layers of symbols and diagrams focus in the center. Here several runes float in the air, glittering red and iron-gray. They're about the size of Marie each.
01[23:28] <Seira> "I think we've found our control runes," Seira says, thinking to Lagann, 'Okay, what next?'
06[23:28] * Alicia looks inside after Seira, eyeing the runes and symbols.
[23:29] <Alicia> roll 1d20+10 spellcraft
06[23:29] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+10 spellcraft and gets 18." [1d20=8]
06[23:29] * Seira tries to operate the runes, retaining her gnomish thoughts processes!
[23:29] <Kotono> OOC: How are you trying to operate them?
01[23:29] <Seira> OOC: UMD was my thought, is there a better way?
01[23:30] <Seira> OOC: Or a way to study them, like K:A?
[23:30] <Kotono> OOC: No, no, I mean IC. Looking at them? Touching the rooms? Talking to th erunes? What?
[23:30] <Kotono> OOC: KA If you want, sure.
01[23:30] <Seira> roll 1d20+26 KA
06[23:30] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+26 KA and gets 32." [1d20=6]
[23:30] <Kotono> Donald lingers at the door, peering inside.
06[23:31] * Seira presses her hand against the nearest rune, focusing on aligning her mind with the gnomish magical construct.
[23:32] <Kotono> OOC: UMD first and then spellcraft, regardless sof the UMD result?
01[23:32] <Seira> roll 1d20+28 umd
06[23:32] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+28 umd and gets 43." [1d20=15]
01[23:32] <Seira> roll 1d20+27 spellcraft
06[23:32] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+27 spellcraft and gets 41." [1d20=14]
[23:33] <Kotono> Seira touches the runes! As she does, they turn to a soft blue-white color. The heat in the room begins to fade instantly. Crackling sounds can be heard below, and a few moments later, massive gouts of warm-hot steam begin to surge up.
[23:33] <Kotono> "Aaah!" Donald dives into the room, "Fucking Lathander's foot!"
06[23:33] * Seira raises her eyebrows at the sound. It must be a pretty incredible system, and she wants to take it home!
06[23:34] * Alicia follows Donald into the presumed safety of the room. "What exactly are you doing?"
01[23:35] <Seira> "Turning off the lava."
[23:35] <Kotono> The steam continues to rise up, blanketing everything outside in a thick, almost total fog! Vision quickly becomes obscured to within 5 feet at best!
[23:35] <Alicia> "Is it safe?" Alicia asks, deciding to pull down her blindfold so she can see better.
06[23:36] * Seira opens her mouth, before frowning. "Nothing here is safe. But I get a feeling of success rather than imminent danger."
[23:36] <Kotono> Alicia can see that lots of steam is rising up from above.
[23:37] <Alicia> "Well, I'll trust your instincts," Alicia relents.
[23:37] <Kotono> "So we wait out the steam or what?" Donald asks.
01[23:38] <Seira> "Lagann seems to think whatever that was stolen from him is below, and these runes make going below safe," Seira elaborates. "I'm pretty sure about this part, at least. So yeah, let's give it a bit."
[23:39] <Alicia> "Lets try and find our way back to the lift and join the others - it'll probably take a while for it to settle and we can come back here after checking out that stairway that went off the... breeding, room," Alicia suggests.
01[23:39] <Seira> "I can't wait to set foot in there again," Seira deadpans, but agrees with the suggestion.
[23:40] <Alicia> Since the fog inhibits flying for some, Alicia guides the party along the walkways of force, having everyone hold hands in a chain to keep from getting seperated in the fog.

[23:01] <Kotono> As the elevator smoothly goes down, leaving the other three behind, "I'm sorry," Amaryl turns and bows to Demedais.
[23:03] <Demedais> "Hm?" Demedais says, looking to Amaryl in confusion. "For the, ah, previous room? Don't worry about it. No two ways about it, it was disturbing."
[23:05] <Kotono> "Still," Looking down and away, holding her arm, "Were you disturbed as well?"
[23:07] <Demedais> "Some. A resistance comes with time and training, though. It never numbs away what you see, however. On some level, you do have to cope with it." Demedais says, looking to Pollyanna for a moment before glancing back to Amaryl.
[23:10] <Kotono> Pollyanna goes and rests a hand on Demedais' shoulder.
[23:10] <Kotono> "You take it in stride so well. Evne yesterday, with that change, you kept your composure." Amaryl colors, "It's admirable."
06[23:11] * Demedais pats Pollyanna on the back, before glancing to Amaryl. "Uh... honestly, the most annoying part was not being able to vent at the sudden change due to not being able to speak properly. It's... how to explain? The sudden gender change was more offputting on its own, but... not being able to speak during it made it worse than I thought it would."
[23:13] <Kotono> "I see..." Amaryl blushes a little. Pollyanna smiles just a little bit, "It was just magic. Don't go swooning over Demedais now."
[23:13] <Kotono> "It wasn't that!" Amaryl turns red as a flame, head jerking up.
[23:13] <Kotono> "Sorry," Chuckling under her breath, "Stop blushing everytime you say something. Hasn't Seira told you to have more confidence?"
06[23:16] * Demedais rubs head, before finally nodding at Pollyanna's comment. "If she hasn't, let us, then."
[23:16] <Kotono> "Yes," Amaryl still looks away. "It still comes hard."
[23:17] <Demedais> "Still. Keep at it; it's one of those things that does require patience."
[23:19] <Kotono> "Thank you," Amaryl murmurs. Then, after a pause, "If you don't mind me asking...what was it like?"
[23:20] <Demedais> "Being female? My armor hurt." Demedais notes.
[23:20] <Kotono> Amaryl stops, "It's hot down there. Lava pit, it sounds like. Explains the heat. They're looking for something stolen from Lagann, whatever that means."
[23:20] <Kotono> "Oh, I mean Seira just told me that," Amaryl blushes.
[23:20] <Demedais> "... Tell them to be careful. And... also, it might be the Resort." Demedais grimaces.
[23:22] <Kotono> Amaryl nods quietly.
[23:23] <Demedais> "Thank you." Demedais nods at this.
06[23:24] * Demedais muses. "It... was just disorienting more than anything else, I guess? No profound insights, here."
[23:24] <Kotono> "It would be nice if we're near the end of this. You know..." Holding her arm, "Afte rall of this, maybe a vacation would be good, like one of us suggested a few days ago?" AFter that, "Hehehe. I wondered a little bit, that was all. Since, well..." Blushing, lots of it, "I wonder sometimes if I feel somewhat like a man, since...well..."
[23:26] <Demedais> "...I could get behind a vacation. Not particularly wanting to put the other Resorts in just yet, either." Demedais comments, before thinking about Amaryl's last comment. "It's possible, maybe? Talk to Seira about it sometime. She'd... ah, probably know better than either of us?"
[23:28] <Kotono> "Maybe," Amaryl goes quiet, then, very cheerfully, "How about that island Alicia took us to? Or Elysium?"
[23:30] <Demedais> "Both ideas, though I don't know how well Elysium would mesh with me." Demedais notes, nodding. "Definitely worth discussing after we're done here."
[23:32] <Kotono> "After defeating a gnomish leftover, we do the impossible and go visit the Heavens before we die," Pollyanna smiles wainly.
[23:34] <Demedais> "Could be far worse. Heard enough of the lower planes that I've zilch interest, thanks."
[23:34] <Kotono> "I think the point of the Lower Plains is to avoid them, unless it's to crack heads of do something worthwhile," Pollyanna smiles a little now, "Like when Alicia went to free souls in Hell, or to go slay some demons."
[23:38] <Demedais> "Pretty much." Demedais nods. "Of course, they have their own... idiotic... incomprehensible... motives. But for our sakes, yes, avoiding them until we need to deal with them's the simplest road."
[23:44] <Kotono> After quite some time, the conversation dulling down, the elevator returns up. It comes up with a gush of steam, revealing the three.
[23:45] <Demedais> "Hi." Demedais says, after recognizing the two. "What's going on?"
01[23:46] <Seira> "It might take a while for the lava to cool."
06[23:46] * Alicia dries herself off with her still active prestidigitation spell as she steps out. "We've got to wait for the steam to dissipate before we go back, but it should be safer now to find whatever's at the bottom," she reports. "For now lets try those stairs back there?" she points back down the hallway.
[23:46] <Demedais> "I see." Demedais nods, leading the way back to the stairway.
06[23:48] * Seira sticks by Amaryl. "So I'm curious, why didn't you want to be protected from the elements?" she asks her. "Were you worried over wild magic accidents?"

[20:01] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> "Yes," Amaryl admits as the party heads back to the stairway. It awaits in all it's cramped, small glory.
01[20:01] <Seira> "Even with magic like this, I bet we could fix it easily enough!"
06[20:01] * Alicia takes the lead, stooping down as she descends the staircase.

[20:04] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> The stairway goes down three full twisting loops, requiring some deft work and crawling. Nonethless, the party reaches the bottom. Here, scorch marks are all about.

06[20:05] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+26 spot or something for an initial appraisal or something to help guide Seira Iunno maybe I can help and gets 29." [1d20=3]
[20:06] <Alicia> "Nothing magical here, anyway," Alicia remarks after a brief scan of the debris.
06[20:07] * Seira grabs a book from the rubble, handing it over to Demedais. "This might be helpful. You collect this sort of thing, right?"
06[20:07] * Demedais picks it up, quickly glancing to see what it is.
[20:08] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> The burnt, waterstained book is still intact despite it's damages. It looks to be a tome on how fantastical creatures reproduce, a study of magical biology if one will. It's pretty complex.
[20:09] <Demedais> "...It might provide some insight, though I suspect a lot of it will be details I'm uninterested in. Still, thank you." Demedais nods gratefully, putting the book in his haversack before glancing around. "Nothing else? A disappointment..."
01[20:09] <Seira> "Once we've found the Resort and sorted out the problems with the Weave, we should take a week and search everything a bit more thoroughly," Seira suggests.
[20:10] <Demedais> "That would probably be wise, yes. I'd be willing to assist in that. Also have to find the slime cat, but that's a side duty in a way." Demedais nods.
[20:10] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> "Should we go back now?" Donald looks upwards, "How long do you think it'll take for the steam to dissipate?"
[20:10] <Alicia> "For now it seems like we've seen everything there is in this area, so how about we let out the captives upstairs and take them to Balmuria before we look over another section of the ruins?" Alicia suggests.
01[20:12] <Seira> "You want to take the mindless frog to Balmuria and leave it there?"
[20:13] <Demedais> "I guess that'll work, yeah. Though I'm not convinced taking the frog back is optimal." Demedais muses as he leads the way back up.
[20:13] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> "We should do something to it, be it putting it out of it's misery or freein git," Pollyanna says with a little sigh, "Even if it's mindless, it deserves better."
[20:14] <Alicia> "Marie and Jessica can look after them for now until we get back," Alicia opines. "It's kinder than leaving them here any longer."
[20:14] <Demedais> "If they're up for it, sure." Demedais nods at that.
[20:15] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> Thus the party returns upstairs. You return to the glass panes without incident, finding them how you left them. The hooved angel is still asleep, while the chaotic inevitable continues it's pacing. The window of the third creature is still tinted black.
01[20:15] <Seira> "I'm not convinced that we should take both back home, frankly," Seira states. "And can Jessica and Marie really control both, if they got out of hand?"
[20:16] <Alicia> "They could certainly do more than most people," Alicia replies. "But I can see your concern - lets just free the angel/yugoloth hybrid for now, then? It's the one that seems most aware of what it's missing."
06[20:17] * Seira nods. "Exactly. And we'll try to find out more about him. If we do manage to get in touch with a parent and they decide to offer their help, we could try and see about helping the other one."
[20:17] <Demedais> "Alright. Perhaps the wall of machines in that other room would adopt the frog, on that note?" Demedais suggests.
01[20:18] <Seira> "Not while there's wild magic rampant here, I hope," Seira mutters. "Still. Can we wait a bit before doing this? I wanted to talk to the succubus first in case he knew more, and it might be a bad idea to ask that kid to tag along with us over to that section."
[20:19] <Demedais> "Fair, I guess."
[20:19] <Alicia> "I'm not sure that would be an improvement..." Alicia replies dubiously, going to tap her fingers briefly on the window confining the fiendish/celestial hybrid. "I'll just teleport him to Balmuria and then come back once I've explained things to Marie and Jessica, I won't be gone more than a minute."
06[20:19] * Seira sees no problem in waiting that long, of course.
[20:20] <Demedais> "Alright."
[20:20] <Alicia> There's definitely no doors or other obvious signs of ingress to the chamber?
[20:20] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> There doesn't look to be, no.
06[20:20] * Seira presses her hand against the window and focuses on an opening.
[20:21] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> Nothing seems to happen to Seira's touch.
06[20:22] * Seira presses the token to it briefly, before looking for any means entry can be gained into the room.
06[20:22] * Alicia takes her heavily enchanted blade and presses it against the glass at the corner away from the sleeping being, scoring a box out that she can hopefully push the glass through to make an entry without shattering the whole thing.
01[20:22] <Seira> roll 1d20+29
06[20:22] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+29 and gets 39." [1d20=10]
[20:23] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> OOC: Roll damage, Alicia?
[20:25] <Alicia> roll 1d8+13
06[20:25] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d8+13 and gets 14." [1d8=1]
[20:25] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> The glass is surprisingly difficult to cut. It doesn't shatter - it's more like scraping against metal. Alicia makes a decent gouge in it, but doesn't cut all the way through.
01[20:26] <Seira> "There had to be a way that didn't require replacing the window," Seira mutters in frustration, thinking about it.
01[20:26] <Seira> roll 1d20+26
06[20:26] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+26 and gets 37." [1d20=11]
06[20:26] * Alicia doesn't want to shatter it, since that would surely frighten the occupant. Instead she continues slowly scoring out a groove which she can use to simply partition the glass and open up a section without much collatoral damage.
[20:28] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> It takes a lot of cutting, but eventually Alicia powers through. A large chunk of the glass is scored out.
06[20:29] * Alicia pushes the partition through and carefully lowers it to the floor, before she steps into the cell. "I'll teleport back to the main entrance once I'm done and meet you all at the room with the demons?" she suggests.
01[20:29] <Seira> "Sure thing," Seira agrees.
[20:29] <Alicia> Putting a hand on the sleeping creature's arm, Alicia teleports the both of them to the desert oasis, first of all!
[20:30] <Alicia> roll 1d20+16 CL?
06[20:30] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+16 CL? and gets 29." [1d20=13]
[20:30] <Alicia> roll 1d100 studied carefully
06[20:30] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d100 studied carefully and gets 33." [1d100=33]
[20:30] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> OOC: Success. I'll resolve Alicia's TPs then you guys.
[20:30] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> OOC: Go for the nexst one.
[20:30] <Alicia> roll 1d100 home very familiar
06[20:30] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d100 home very familiar and gets 11." [1d100=11]
[20:31] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> OOC: Just going to dump himo ff on Marie/Jessica?
[20:31] <Alicia> OOC: Yeah, I'll give them both a quick run down on events as well as his particular situation and ask them to take care of him until I get back. Then I away~
[20:31] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> OOC: Go ahead and roll your 'ports back?
[20:32] <Alicia> roll 1d100 desert studied carefully
06[20:32] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d100 desert studied carefully and gets 87." [1d100=87]
[20:32] <Alicia> roll 1d20+16 CL for steel jungle
06[20:32] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+16 CL for steel jungle and gets 27." [1d20=11]
[20:32] <Alicia> roll 1d100 seen casually
06[20:32] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d100 seen casually and gets 95." [1d100=95]
[20:32] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> OOC: #terror, Alicia.
[20:32] <Alicia> OOC: similar area

[20:35] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> Woosh! Alicia appears, standing on a toppled tree. Around her is rainbow plants and greenery of all sorts. Around her, beautiful flowers bloom. The air is heavy with pollen. From above, heavy vines hang about all over. The vines are moving, moving in a dance towards Alicia in the jungle! OOC: Initiative, your luck was...poor.
[20:35] <Alicia> roll 1D20+8
06[20:35] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1D20+8 and gets Error: Numeric values only."
[20:35] <Alicia> roll 1d20+8
06[20:35] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+8 and gets 13." [1d20=5]
[20:37] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> roll 1d20+7
06[20:37] * Hatbot --> "Infinite_Ko_Loop rolls 1d20+7 and gets 8." [1d20=1]
[20:37] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> roll 1d20+7
06[20:37] * Hatbot --> "Infinite_Ko_Loop rolls 1d20+7 and gets 27." [1d20=20]
03[20:37] * Infinite_Ko_Loop changes topic to 'Vine 2>Alicia>Vine 3'
[20:37] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> One of the vines whip out, lashing at Alicia fast and hard!
[20:37] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> roll 1d20+21
06[20:37] * Hatbot --> "Infinite_Ko_Loop rolls 1d20+21 and gets 22." [1d20=1]
[20:38] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> But it whizzes over her head, missing her entirely!OOC: Go Alicia.
03[20:38] * Infinite_Ko_Loop changes topic to 'Vine 2>Alicia>Vine 1'
[20:38] <Alicia> "Wretched luck..." Alicia grimaces, darting away from the mobile vines before she quickly recasts her teleport spell!
[20:38] <Alicia> roll 1d20+16 CL
06[20:38] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+16 CL and gets 24." [1d20=8]
[20:38] <Alicia> roll 1d100 seen casually
06[20:38] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d100 seen casually and gets 77." [1d100=77]
[20:39] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> Woosh! A moment later, Alicia appears in the steel jungle! Just ahead of her, a glimmering white force can be seen. Inside of it, a troll's skeleton is seen, mostly stripped of meat and flesh. It slithers back along towards the right side of the road's jungle.
[20:40] <Alicia> "Ahh... Four oh eight?" Alicia queries on seeing the cube.
[20:40] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> In Alicia's mind, she hears, 'It is good to eat again.' With a wet plop, the skeleton is propelled out of the slime, chucked onto the road and clattering.
06[20:41] * Alicia replies in the same vein. 'Did the trolls not hurt you?' she asks.
[20:42] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> 'They are not sufficient to hurt me,' The ooze answers, 'They are easy prey.'
[20:44] <Alicia> Odd, considering how badly the trolls mauled her friends during their battle. Maybe 408 has more than just intellect over his peers? 'I'm glad this area agrees with you,' she instead replies. 'In time we may be able to let you roam further afield, but it seems your needs are being met for the time being.'
[20:45] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> 'They are. I thank you.' It slithers away, unseen now, 'I go to hunt again.'
[20:45] <Alicia> 'Until we talk again,' Alicia returns, heading on into the fortress to rejoin her friends at the demon prison.

---

[20:32] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> Alicia teleports away, leaving the rest of the party by themselves. "So where did she say we were going?" Donald asks, "Sorry, I spaced out a moment."
06[20:33] * Seira decides to press her hand against the remaining empty glass windows, both queasy and unable to turn away.
[20:37] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> Most of them bear a simple message 'Room empty, previous occupatant terminated.' The one with it's bed ruined and splotchy blood about? 'Eladrin/Devil crossbreed. Unstable. Suicidal tendencies. Possesses considerable might, but only seeks to hurt itself. Call for aid if it's binds show any signs of failing.'
01[20:39] <Seira> "...right." Frowning, Seira decides to head towards the room with the succubus and wait for Alicia there.
[20:40] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> As the party walks back, "What are we going to do with the succubus, anyway?" Donald asks.
06[20:40] * Demedais follows behind the group slowly.
01[20:41] <Seira> "Now, or eventually?"
[20:41] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> "Now. Are we going to let it rot or what?"
01[20:42] <Seira> "We're going to ask him some questions, and if he is helpful, once we've gotten the Resort we will send him back. Until that time, it is a liability to do that."
[20:42] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> Thus, the party heads to the succubus' room. It waits there, looking your way as the group enters in.
06[20:43] * Seira gives him a wave.
[20:44] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> "You return." The succubus rises, going against the glass.
06[20:44] * Seira nods. "Yep. In a few days, you should be able to return, too."
[20:45] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> "Ah, at last." Nodding to Seira's words, "Why the delay?"
01[20:47] <Seira> "Personal reasons, mostly. I still need some information, and it's not really safe to let you out just yet in case you decide to betray us like pretty much a model demon would. I hope you understand."
[20:49] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> "Do go on," The demon invites, "What information do you want?"
01[20:50] <Seira> "You mentioned the gnomes experimenting with... well, with crossing species. There was someone who was apparently the product of a yugoloth and an angel. Can you tell me anything that would help in identifying the parents?"
[20:53] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> "My, no accounting for taste," The succubus mutters, "Well, if the parents aren't here, then they're either dead or back out in the Outer Planes. I'd just use divinations to solve it, rather than goinghunting on long shots."
01[20:54] <Seira> "What about records, or even the means to opening the chambers short of brute force?"
[20:54] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> Meanwhile, Alicia approaches from the back, catching up with the party.
06[20:54] * Alicia silently approaches, not wanting to interrupt the current conversation.
[20:54] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> "Try touching the glass windows," The succubus eyes Alicia briefly, "I do know they used teleportation to get subjects in."
01[20:56] <Seira> "What's preventing you from leaving, then?" she asks curiously.
[20:57] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> "If it was possible for a subject to teleport out, they would." With a chilly, sardonic grin, "From what I gathered and I speculate, the wards are set so that the subject can't teleport out."
01[20:57] <Seira> "A shame we didn't find anything on the wards," Seira mutters. "Maybe I could've taken the chance of freeing you earlier, then. What about a records room, again? Would you know anything about that?"
[20:59] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> "I'm a prisoner. I regret that I didn't get a full tour," Spreading his arms out and shrugging, "No such luck."
01[21:00] <Seira> "You and me both," Seira agrees. It seems this is pointless, but at least there's more to explore. "Till later, then."
[21:01] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> As Seira turns away, "So where now, then?" Donald looks to the various members? "Back out to the main entry room?"
01[21:01] <Seira> "Let's see what else is here aside from this museum."
[21:02] <Alicia> "There's several doors we haven't explored from there, yes," Alicia nods, heading back.
06[21:03] * Demedais nods at this, giving the succubus a final wary glance before heading out.
[21:04] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> Returning back...
[21:05] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> 00> There is a large, iron barred door straight ahead, underneath the walkways and on ground level. There is a door on the lower left side of the room, on the ground level as well. On the upper level and thew alkways, there is a door to the right, an open arch. There is also a door to the left, two of them, one with a iron door and the other being another arch.
06[21:05] * Seira tries the other ground level door.
[21:08] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> The door opens! Ahead you see a pillared hallway, cast in iron and steel. A pair of scorch marks are just inside of the hall. The hall goes about fourty feet and is about twenty wide. Everything is of smooth metals. At the end is a thin, transparent wall of steel, almost ghostly.
01[21:09] <Seira> "Easy, easy," Seira murmurs, stepping forward slowly.
06[21:09] * Alicia looks for any magic down the hallway as she follows Seira.
06[21:10] * Demedais looks around as well for anything out of the ordinary.
[21:10] <Demedais> roll 1d20+26 usual spot check
06[21:10] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+26 usual spot check and gets 28." [1d20=2]
[21:11] <Alicia> roll 1d20+10 spellcraft
06[21:11] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+10 spellcraft and gets 24." [1d20=14]
01[21:12] <Seira> 'We'll get it back!' Seira promises to Lagann. 'I haven't let you down so far, have I?'
[21:12] <Alicia> "There's some sort of transmutation effect on that wall," Alicia comments, walking up to the ghostly wall and rapping her knuckles on it.
[21:13] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> Getting closer, Alicia can see through the wall. The hall continues. The steel feels solid as she touches it, yet at the tsame time, her hand easily passes through it.
01[21:13] <Seira> "Wait!" Seira calls out to Alicia.
06[21:14] * Seira takes the time to study the area just near the transmutative wall.
[21:14] <Alicia> "I think our tokens will let us pass, though," she concludes, about to step through before abruptly stopping and looking back at Seira.
01[21:14] <Seira> roll 1d20+29
06[21:14] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+29 and gets 40." [1d20=11]
01[21:15] <Seira> "Strange," Seira muses out loud. "The tokens seem to be working, but Lagann's still worried. Do we risk it?"
[21:15] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> "Creepy," Amaryl murmurs as she watches. Pollyanna continues to look about in the meantime.
[21:16] <Demedais> "... I don't see anything else, so it seems our best option..." Demedais grimaces. "Unless the fliers want to look for a way to deactivate this above somewhere?"
[21:16] <Alicia> "It seems fine," Alicia shrugs. "But if he's worried could he do something about the wall? It is metal, I think..."
01[21:17] <Seira> "Lagann could try shifting it aside, but that should be more dangerous." Seira does ask, however, "How about it? If you think it would be safe with our tokens, want to try and making a way through for us, Lagann?"
01[21:21] <Seira> "Umm." Seira feels silly repeating the voices in her head out loud, but she's a mage. She can always claim it was a failed spell due to wild magic. "Za dom Spremni?"
[21:22] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> The ghostly wall blinks thrice, before fading away entirely. The way ahead no longer has a ghostly wall ahead of it.
[21:22] <Alicia> "Well, that's even better," Alicia nods in satisfaction, continuing down the hallway and alert for magic as she goes.
01[21:23] <Seira> "I guess it was literally your magic," Seira whispers to Lagann. "Sorry about misunderstanding. I thought you meant it as a metaphore."
[21:23] <Demedais> "Hm." Demedais muses as he continues down the hall, spotting on the way.
[21:25] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> The hall continues for about another sixty feet. Ahead, hanging on the walls, are various portraits. They are of fearsome looking gnomes and great works of metal. Men made of metal, golems. Of great jagged weapons cast true, of metal everywhere. At the end the hall starts to curve, a raised metal platform waiting there. It is decorated with a circle of runes about it. Above it, words emblazed on gnomish can be seen. They read the fol
[21:25] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> Above it, words emblazed on gnomish can be seen. They read the following, 'Cast in the glory of the True God!'
06[21:25] * Alicia eyes the runes...
[21:25] <Alicia> roll 1d20+10 spellcraft
06[21:25] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+10 spellcraft and gets 26." [1d20=16]
06[21:26] * Seira does likewise, examining them. And glancing casually at the portraits in case Lagann is there, somewhere.
01[21:27] <Seira> roll 1d20+27 spellcraft
06[21:27] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+27 spellcraft and gets 33." [1d20=6]
06[21:27] * Demedais glances around himself for anything that stands out in particular as off.
[21:27] <Demedais> roll 1d20+26 spotlol
06[21:27] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+26 spotlol and gets 29." [1d20=3]
01[21:28] <Seira> "Oh wow!" Seira exclaims. "A portal! I wonder where it goes? I'll just have to check tomorrow~!"
[21:28] <Demedais> "That portrait's eyes move." Demedais whispers to the rest of the group, glancing to the one in question discreetly.
[21:28] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> The portrait is of one stern, unblinking gnomish man. He is clad in armor, face emotionlessly cold.
06[21:29] * Alicia glances over at the portrait in question. "It's not magic..." she observes, eyeing it herself.
[21:29] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> The portrait's eyes don't seem to be moving as the party looks at it.
06[21:30] * Seira eyes the portrait in question. "How's it hanging?" she asks in greeting.
[21:30] <Alicia> "Well, anyway, if we don't want to risk the portal today shall we try the upstairs passages now?" Alicia asks.
[21:32] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> There's no reply to Seira's words.
[21:32] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> Donald groans. "Hows it han...Seira, that was horrible."
06[21:32] * Seira grins. "Thanks! It is a gift!"
06[21:33] * Seira mentally wonders whether Lagann knows the stern-looking gnome in the portrait.
01[21:36] <Seira> Since there's no answer from her buddy, she's quite ready to follow Alicia's suggestion. The open arch to the right sounds like a good place to start.
[21:38] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> The party returns to the main room. Above, the walkways loom and wait for the party, if they care to reach them.
06[21:39] * Seira flies up to ensure it is safe. A rope could easily be fixated to the upper floor, if no normal path to it exists.
06[21:39] * Alicia flies up and produces a rope from her survival pouch, looking for something handy to tie it to so the non-flyers can climb up.
01[21:39] <Seira> roll 1d20+29 are there traps by the arch?
06[21:39] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+29 are there traps by the arch? and gets 37." [1d20=8]
[21:40] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> There's some railings Alicia can tie it to if she wishes.
[21:40] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> OOC: There's two arches, one to the left and one to the right. Which one?
06[21:41] * Alicia ties the rope to a railing and tosses it down.
01[21:41] <Seira> OOC: Previously-stated desire to go to the one on the right
[21:41] <Alicia> OOC: taking 10 for 16 on use rope
[21:42] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> The arch on the right isn't trapped. Ahead, you can see halls going to the left and to the right, each studded with connected rooms.
[21:42] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> Pollyanna grabs the rope once it's down, "Want me to go first, Demedais?"
01[21:42] <Seira> "Yes, it is forbidden to climb below Demedais!" Seira calls over.
[21:43] <Demedais> "Everyone else should go before me, yes." Demedais says.
[21:43] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> Pollyanna climbs up! OOC: Taking 10/she has a ring of feather fall anyway so it's irrelevant.
[21:43] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> Amaryl takes the rope next, attempting to climb up!
[21:43] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> roll 1d20
06[21:43] * Hatbot --> "Infinite_Ko_Loop rolls 1d20 and gets 5." [1d20=5]
[21:44] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> Amaryl is able to climb up as well, making it up.
[21:45] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> Looking back down, "You're up now, Demedais!" Pollyanna shouts down.
[21:46] <Demedais> "Right." Demedais shrugs, before trying to climb up!
[21:46] <Demedais> roll 1d20+4 welp, here goes
06[21:46] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+4 welp, here goes and gets 12." [1d20=8]
[21:47] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> Despite all his tries, Demedais gets up on the first effort!
06[21:49] * Seira proceeds ahead.
[21:50] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> You walk down. You see that the halls curve to the left and the right. Dotted along them are rooms - simple rooms, from the looks of it. Some of them have open doors, normal, if small bedrooms are seen on a glance.
[21:50] <Demedais> "The residence areas here, then. Search them one at a time?" Demedais shrugs.
06[21:51] * Alicia walks along behind Seira, a cursory eye out for magic.
06[21:52] * Seira is agreeable to that, and Lagann can easily tell her if there's anything of metal she'd missed in her cursory scan.
01[21:52] <Seira> roll 1d20+29 searching it all?
06[21:52] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+29 searching it all? and gets 39." [1d20=10]
06[21:53] * Demedais helps look in this.
[21:53] <Demedais> roll 1d20+2 kay
06[21:53] * Hatbot --> "Demedais rolls 1d20+2 kay and gets 5." [1d20=3]
[21:59] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> The party finds that these quarters loop around. There are about fifty rooms total. About half of them are blasted and ruined, little of interest. From the rest you get a pile of things: Clothes, glass jars, metal containers, bits of jewelry, knick-knacks and curious, coins, that sort of thing. Not much in the way of magic: A jagged dagger and a red necklace are found, however.
[22:00] <Alicia> Into the hole they go! "Lets try the opposite passages now?" Alicia suggests.
[22:01] <Demedais> "Sure." Demedais shrugs.
