[17:59] <Kotono> ---
[18:01] <Kotono> Thus, do another generation of noble adventurers fall. The next day, four new heroes are called! Through the goblin-tunnel they go, to the Illusory Isle. Here the camp awaits them, Boney curled up and taking a nap beneath a tree. But there is no Boss awaiting them. Instead there is a severe middle aged woman, graying brown hair done up in a bun. In one hand she holds a baton, tapping it into
[18:01] <Kotono> the palm of her other hand. She wears a plain gray dress that comes to her knees. "That's the four of you? Good. Attention, here are today's announcement and orders."
[18:02] * Alric eyes the Librarian of Doom cautiously.
[18:03] * Noved raises an eyebrow. "Little bro didn't mention that the Boss was an old matron," she muttered under her breath.
[18:04] * Clank awaits these so-called announcement and orders.
[18:04] * Zara marches up and stands at attention! Tall, buried under a mountain of crimson armor, red hair to match cut straight at her shoulders, snub-nosed and plain but imposing.
[18:05] <Kotono> "Excellent. I am Emerelda." A moment to nod them, "This camp's previous supervisor, The Boss, is no longer with the company. According to our investigation, he was hiring inferior talent on the cheap and syphoning off the rest to a truly impressive collection of...things." Coughing at that last word, voice crisp throughout, "But no matter. Your ill-fated predecessors explored that tower there,"
[18:05] <Kotono> Pointing, and then quickly explaining the six towers once more, "You may pick up in that one or attempt a new tower, at your discretion."
[18:05] * Clank is a small metal man, sitting atop a velociraptor, while holding a shield and scimitar! Does anything else -really- need to be described?
[18:06] * Zara raises her hand. "Ma'am, was any intelligence of note regarding that tower returned before our predecessors' demise?"
[18:06] * Alric leans against his quarterstaff, his chainmail shifting against itself with a quiet whisper..
[18:06] * Noved is a chick. With boobs. Also, with long black hair.
[18:07] <Kotono> "I'm afraid not, as they all died horrible, painful and lonely deaths," Clapping her hands together, "Good luck."
[18:07] <Clank> "Before we depart...His name was 'The Boss', Madam Esmerelda?" Clank asks along a different note.
[18:07] <Clank> "What a curious name!"
[18:07] * Noved blinks. "No wonder Devon's letters were so nasty and spiteful. This job turned him into a jerk."
[18:08] <Kotono> "That is the name he worked with, yes," Nodding to that, "Dismissed. Come back with glory and treasure!"
[18:08] <Zara> "I propose we select another tower," Zara says after a moment, "so that through training we can be better prepared to resist horrible, painful and lonely deaths."
[18:09] * Alric shrugs.
[18:09] * Noved sighs. "Somehow, this isn't sounding like a good way to avenge my brother's death. Maybe I should just go back to school."


[18:09] <Clank> "As commanded, so shall we do," Clank says with a nod to the woman, clicking his heels on the velociraptor and beginning to lead it towards a random tower. In particular, this random tower appears to be the fifth one.
[18:09] <Alric> "If they went through that tower already, there shouldn't be anything left to do in there. I say we go to another."
[18:09] * Zara follows the...thing...on the lizard...she can't help but stare.
[18:10] * Noved shrugs and ambles after the little metal man-thing, hands in pockets.
[18:10] * Alric sets the quarterstaff on his shoulder and follows after.
[18:11] <Kotono> Thus the party heads to the fifth tower, Vivacious Greed! A golden door bars the way in, closed. Opening it would be advised.
[18:12] * Zara walks forward...and opens it!
[18:12] * Noved eyes the door up and down. "I bet the bar alone would be worth our time."
[18:12] <Kotono> The door resists being open, just like a cranky dog that doesn't want to go out.
[18:13] * Zara pushes really hard!
[18:13] <Kotono> Pushing forward, Zara encounters complete futility. Most notably, there are handles to pull the door open, not push it, being locked or jammed aside.
[18:13] * Zara hmphs, and PULLS.
[18:13] <Kotono> OOC: Str check.
[18:14] <Zara> roll 1d20+4
[18:14] * Hatbot --> "Zara rolls 1d20+4 and gets 19." [1d20=15]
[18:14] * Noved snickers at Zara's obliviousness to the handles.
[18:14] <Noved> "A lovely start to our venture."
[18:14] <Kotono> The door pops open! Within is an entry room - 30ft by 30ft, with a door straight ahead. 15ft to each side is a small sloped pyramid, both of them having a bright red and gold treasure chest atop them!
[18:14] <Alric> "I.. Think I want move in here when we're done."
[18:14] * Alric looks around..
[18:15] <Zara> "Sarcasm will not aid our survival," Zara says to Noved as she walks in.
[18:16] * Noved peers inward. "Ooh, shiny. Really, putting those two chests right inside the entrance is pushing it. Do they really think we're greedy enough to go for the first shiny thing we see?"
[18:16] <Kotono> Your footsteps echo off the golden floor - though it isn't cold like metal, but stony-clacky instead.
[18:17] <Clank> "I've met other humans before who would," Clank remarks at Noved's observation. "It's why beings such as I were created, you know."
[18:17] <Zara> "It is a priority of our employment to retrieve treasure," Zara concedes. "Surely they cannot *all* be traps?"
[18:18] <Noved> Stony-clacky? Noved bends down and scrapes the floor with a long fingernail out of curiosity. She wouldn't be surprised if the floor was made of fool's gold or painted over to merely look like gold!
[18:18] <Kotono> The floor indeed seems to be gold painted - it's scraped a bit with some effort.
[18:18] * Alric stares flatly at Zara.
[18:18] <Alric> "There's always traps. Always."
[18:19] * Alric glances around shiftily..
[18:19] <Noved> "Yeaaaaaaah. Guys? The floor is painted gold. I would be willing to bet good money that those chests are booby trapped to make us die hideously painful, lonely, tragic deaths."
[18:19] <Zara> "Of a certainty. But our employers could hardly persist in financial solvency if there were no treasure at all to be had."
[18:19] <Clank> "They might well be all trapped, miss, but still it's our job to spring them. Without getting caught in the trap, of course," Clank remarks once more. "Now do either of you humans know how to disable traps?"
[18:19] * Zara shakes her head.
[18:20] * Noved shakes her head. "Sorry. I specialize in offensive magic."
[18:20] <Alric> "Magic only, sorry."
[18:20] <Noved> "I suggest the metal one does it. If they're poison traps, he can't very well die from poison, can he?"
[18:22] * Clank rotates his head a hundred and eighty degrees so he's looking behind his body, at the warmage. "This is correct. I am in fact immune to poisons," he remarks. "I can still explode if there's explosive runes or the like, of course."
[18:23] * Zara shakes her head. "We have no knowledge of what nature of trap may lie inside. Might we proceed through the door and leave the chests for later? In case there are more active hazards about in the tower. We could deal with any enemies we find and search the chests at our leisure later?"
[18:23] * Noved shrugs. "Sure thing, boss. I'm just along to kill a few things and bring home enough money to pay Devon's debts off. That boy racked up bills like you wouldn't believe in the brothels."
[18:24] <Clank> "We could do so," Clank says with a nod. "Do we have any information about these towers though? It might be more prudent to try another tower if we're concerned with our lack of trap detection experts, as I had simply chosen one at random."
[18:25] <Alric> "Might be a worthwhile idea."
[18:26] <Zara> "No doubt they all have their hazards, but I myself am best suited for those which we can resolve through direct combat."
[18:27] <Alric> "As am I. Traps require a thief."
[18:27] <Clank> "I as well. Let us return to our leader and ask for any scouted information about the towers, hopefully one tower is better suited for our abilities."
[18:27] <Clank> OOC: Skip ahead and move to tower 3?
[18:28] <Zara> OOC: 3 is fine by me.


[18:28] <Kotono> Tower 3 has a simple wooden door. It's closed, just like tower five's door. It awaits!
[18:28] * Zara attempts to open this door!
[18:30] <Kotono> This door is also resistant to opening, as if mocknig Zara's efforts.
[18:30] * Zara pushes really hard! Or pulls really hard! Depending on circumstances.
[18:30] * Noved giggles cutely behind her hand.
[18:30] <Kotono> OOC: STr check.
[18:30] <Zara> roll 1d20+4
[18:30] * Hatbot --> "Zara rolls 1d20+4 and gets 18." [1d20=14]
[18:31] <Zara> "You could always assist and facilitate your own enrichment, mocking one," Zara chides as she strains at the door.
[18:31] <Kotono> Pop! The door is thrown open! Ahead of you is a riot of colors. A path painted rainbow goes ahead, 10ft wide. To either side is shimmering, empty void. This path goes on 50ft, coming to a single red disc.
[18:32] * Zara winces. "This place offends my vision," she says, stepping inside to walk towards the disc.
[18:33] <Noved> "Do I look like I'm fit for physical labor, cutie?" Noved steps inside, smiling brightly. "Oh my goodness! These colors are so bright and cheerful! I really must get ahold of their interior decorator."
[18:33] * Alric eyes the disc, running through his mind trying to see if there's anything he knows about it..
[18:33] <Clank> "Does it?" Clank questions, once again rotating his head, tapping the tip of his blade against his chin, making a clanking noise. "What about it bothers you, if I might ask?"
[18:34] * Clank eyes the different reactino from the other human female. "...fascinating," he remarks.
[18:34] <Alric> "Rather garish.."
[18:34] <Zara> "Perhaps you might be if you attempted such regularly," Zara responds to Noved. "No doubt you would benefit from the effort."
[18:35] * Zara just shakes her head. "The colors...disagree with one another."
[18:35] <Kotono> The disk is about 10ft in diameter, a coppery red color. It awaits the foursome as they reach the end of the rainbow path.
[18:35] <Kotono> OOC: K:A, Alric.
[18:36] <Alric> roll d20+8 Arcana
[18:36] * Hatbot --> "Alric rolls d20+8 Arcana and gets 28." [d20=20]
[18:36] <Noved> "A girl needs to be shapely and cute, not muscley and bulgy~" Noved responds, curiously inspecting the path and enjoying the riotous colors. "But really, how can you hate so many happy colors in one spot!?"
[18:37] <Alric> "Hmm.. I recognize the disc.. It's a floating disc. No idea where it'll take us to, though."
[18:37] * Clank leads Ratchet along the rainbow path, towards the disk, looking around, wondering where all the so-called enemies are. "I thought this tower was supposed to be filled with evil creatures for us to best?"
[18:37] <Zara> "A girl can be whatever she likes!" Zara insists, in a challenging tone.
[18:38] <Noved> "No one who likes bright colors can be evil!" Noved comments, poking her head down the left hallway, seeing if she can see anything beyond the colorless void!
[18:40] <Kotono> OOC: There's no left hallway, Noved. Ther'es the disc. The colorless void stretches on ahead past it - you don't see anything except it.
[18:41] <Noved> OOC: Oh. Well, I meant poking my head into the void! Toeing past the line!
[18:42] <Zara> By way of experiment, Zara tosses a copper coin out into the void.
[18:42] <Kotono> OOC: As in going off the path or just sticking your head out?
[18:43] <Noved> OOC: Just sticking my head out. Totally not dumb enough to completely leave the path.
[18:43] <Kotono> Noved finds that the void isn't solid. She's able to stick her head out easily. Nothing unusula happens. A coin is tossed out as well - and it falls and plummets outof sight.
[18:44] * Noved blinks at the sight of the copper coin falling. "So glad my mother taught me to stay in the lines when I color." After making her horrible joke, she trots down the path and alights on the red disc!
[18:44] <Zara> "There is nothing to be accomplished loitering here," Zara decides. "Let us proceed onward." She continues on and steps onto the disc.
[18:45] * Clank has been waiting for the humans while they did their experiments with the void.
[18:47] <Kotono> Zara steps onto the disc! IT begins to rumble, slowly rising!
[18:47] * Zara readies her weapon, just in case. There Has to be an enemy eventually, after all.
[18:48] * Alric hops onto the disc with Zara..
[18:49] * Clank should have been on the disk before Zara, but if he's not, he also gets on.
[18:49] * Noved curiously watches her surroundings as they rise into the heavens. Well, the tower. Well, whatever.


[18:52] <Kotono> You rise up about 50ft, then the void vanishes! You stand in a circular room of rainbow. A door to the north, east and south can each be seen.
[18:53] <Clank> "Any preference?"
[18:54] * Zara shrugs, walks south, tries the door.
[18:54] <Noved> "Hmm. The rainbow motif is fun, but it's starting to get old already. How about south?"
[18:54] * Noved follows the manly woman!
[18:54] <Kotono> The door opens. Ahead of you, you see a path leading to a small lake. A waterfall cascades into it from above.
[18:54] <Kotono> OOC: Listen checks, all.
[18:55] <Zara> roll 1d20+1
[18:55] <Alric> roll d20+1
[18:55] * Hatbot --> "Zara rolls 1d20+1 and gets 16." [1d20=15]
[18:55] * Hatbot --> "Alric rolls d20+1 and gets 15." [d20=14]
[18:55] * Clank follows, eyeing the surroundings. "Shall we find enemies this time, Ratchet?" he asks his mount.
[18:55] <Noved> roll 1d20+3 listen
[18:55] * Hatbot --> "Noved rolls 1d20+3 listen and gets 22." [1d20=19]
[18:55] <Clank> roll d20+2 listen Clank
[18:55] * Hatbot --> "Clank rolls d20+2 listen Clank and gets 16." [d20=14]
[18:55] <Zara> "A pleasant scene," Zara admits. "This makes me wary."
[18:55] <Clank> roll d20+10 listen Ratchet
[18:55] * Hatbot --> "Clank rolls d20+10 listen Ratchet and gets 28." [d20=18]
[18:56] * Noved whirls around! "You better not be laughing at my butt! I spent *weeks* trying to drop two sizes!"
[18:57] <Clank> Ratchet starts to make clicking noise and whips around, the heckles on the dinosaur raising as it searches for prey. "What is it, Ratchet? Did you sense something?" Clank asks, not understanding the mount's reaction.


[18:57] <Kotono> Whirling about, you see it! Where there was empty space by the north door seconds ago is now two figures. Each is about four feet tall, with pale yellow skin. They wear nothing and have no bodily features or gentials...save for one aspect. They have huge, face splitting grins, as if locked in the most intense, overwhelming laugh of all time! The two both point at Noved, before pouncing at the party! OOC: Init. The natives are restless.
[18:57] <Kotono> roll 1d20+3 smiley 1
[18:57] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+3 smiley 1 and gets 16." [1d20=13]
[18:57] <Kotono> roll 1d20+3 smiley 2
[18:57] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+3 smiley 2 and gets 13." [1d20=10]
[18:57] <Zara> roll 1d20+5
[18:57] * Hatbot --> "Zara rolls 1d20+5 and gets 20." [1d20=15]
[18:57] <Noved> roll 1d20+6 init
[18:57] * Hatbot --> "Noved rolls 1d20+6 init and gets 18." [1d20=12]
[18:58] <Clank> roll d20+4
[18:58] * Hatbot --> "Clank rolls d20+4 and gets 12." [d20=8]
[18:59] <Alric> roll d20+3
[18:59] * Hatbot --> "Alric rolls d20+3 and gets 9." [d20=6]
[18:59] * Kotono changes topic to 'Alric 18/18 Zara 28/28 Clank 29/29 Noved 12/12 |Zara(20)>Noved(18)>Smiley 1(16)>Smiley 2(13)>Clank(12)>Alric(9)'


[18:59] <Kotono> OOC: Open Zara.
[18:59] <Clank> "At last, we have purpose once again, Ratchet!" Clank states.
[19:00] * Zara immediately whips her sword toward the leftmost creature's neck. No battlecries or savagery from here, just controlled precision.
[19:00] <Zara> roll 1d20+8
[19:00] * Hatbot --> "Zara rolls 1d20+8 and gets 13." [1d20=5]
[19:01] <Kotono> A quick, deft slash - that narrowly misses, as if the ghost of Xyoria haunts Zara! OOC: Noved.
[19:02] * Noved deftly swings her spear at the leftmost creature as well!
[19:02] <Noved> roll 1d20+3
[19:02] * Hatbot --> "Noved rolls 1d20+3 and gets 19." [1d20=16]
[19:03] <Kotono> OOC: That be a hit.
[19:03] <Noved> roll 1d8+3 damage woo hoo!
[19:03] * Hatbot --> "Noved rolls 1d8+3 damage woo hoo! and gets 4." [1d8=1]
[19:03] <Kotono> Deftly thrusting out, Noved impales the first smiley! It staggers but keeps on grinning, starting to cackle and point at Noved! OOC: Will save, Noved.
[19:05] <Noved> roll 1d20+4 will
[19:05] * Hatbot --> "Noved rolls 1d20+4 will and gets 8." [1d20=4]
[19:06] <Kotono> Noved seems to find it funny, for she falls over, bursting with laughter and rolling on the floor! The second smiley points and laughs, pointing at Zara as Noved's mirth echos throughout the chambers! OOC: Will save, Zara, -1 mod.
[19:06] * Kotono changes topic to 'Alric 18/18 Zara 28/28 Clank 29/29 Noved 12/12 |Zara(20)>Noved(18; laughing)>Smiley 1(16)>Smiley 2(13)>Clank(12)>Alric(9)'
[19:06] <Noved> roll 1d20+3 I reallllly don't find this funny
[19:06] * Hatbot --> "Noved rolls 1d20+3 I reallllly don't find this funny and gets 10." [1d20=7]
[19:06] <Zara> roll 1d20+1
[19:06] * Hatbot --> "Zara rolls 1d20+1 and gets 14." [1d20=13]
[19:06] <Kotono> OOC: Zara for the second save. Not you, Noved.
[19:06] <Noved> OOC: Whoops
[19:07] <Kotono> Despite a sudden urge to laugh, Zara masters herself and stops the onslaught of humor! OOC: Clank.
[19:09] * Clank click his heel on Ratchet's side, and the velociraptor leaps at one of the creatures, Clank simultaneously swinging his scimitar as the velociraptor closes in.
[19:09] <Clank> roll d20+6 ride DC 5 to guide~
[19:09] * Hatbot --> "Clank rolls d20+6 ride DC 5 to guide~ and gets 19." [d20=13]
[19:09] <Clank> roll d20+6 attack
[19:09] * Hatbot --> "Clank rolls d20+6 attack and gets 11." [d20=5]
[19:09] <Kotono> OOC: Miss.
[19:10] <Kotono> Clank comes in and swings, but manages to copy Zara and narrowly miss! OOC: Ow. Alric.
[19:11] * Alric throws his hand out, summoning a Ray of Frost!
[19:12] <Kotono> OOC: Which one are you attacking?
[19:12] <Alric> OOC: The hurt one.
[19:13] <Kotono> OOC: Right, make your attack roll.
[19:13] <Alric> roll d20+4
[19:13] * Hatbot --> "Alric rolls d20+4 and gets 19." [d20=15]
[19:13] <Kotono> OOC: Hit. Damage.
[19:13] <Alric> roll 1d4+3
[19:13] * Hatbot --> "Alric rolls 1d4+3 and gets 5." [1d4=2]
[19:13] <Kotono> Dead hit! The wounded smiley is frozen solid, shattering into hunks of ice! OOC: Brr. Zara.
[19:14] * Kotono changes topic to 'Alric 18/18 Zara 28/28 Clank 29/29 Noved 12/12 |Zara(20)>Noved(18; laughing)>Smiley 2(13)>Clank(12)>Alric(9)'
[19:14] * Zara swings round to his grinning companion to finish the job!
[19:14] <Zara> roll 1d20+8
[19:14] * Hatbot --> "Zara rolls 1d20+8 and gets 15." [1d20=7]
[19:14] <Kotono> OOC: HIzzit.
[19:14] <Zara> roll 2d6+6
[19:14] * Hatbot --> "Zara rolls 2d6+6 and gets 16." [2d6=6, 4]
[19:15] <Kotono> With one heavy blow, the smiley is bisected! Down it goes, smiling and DEAD! OOC: Free act. Noved, you recover from the giggles.
[19:15] * Noved abruptly stops laughing, lying panting on the floor. "So---dying of---laughter? Check."
[19:15] * Zara frowns. "What did they mean to accomplish provoking naught but mad laughter? I do not understand these creatures."
[19:16] <Clank> "They wish to spread joy?" Clank theorizes.
[19:17] <Clank> "They could be good little denizens and we are simply murdering them and destroying their innocence."
[19:17] <Zara> "Perhaps," Zara says skeptically, stepping inside to take a look around the out of place lake.


[19:18] <Kotono> Stepping in, you see that the sides flare out. On the right side near the waterfall is a door leading further that way. Beyond that it looks to be a dead end...OOC: Spot check, Zara.
[19:19] * Noved climbs to her feet. "Don't think like that. It only leads to moral quandries. In our line of work, we really can't afford to have those." Noved follows Zara, peering curiously into the watery depths of the lake!
[19:19] <Zara> roll 1d20+1
[19:19] * Hatbot --> "Zara rolls 1d20+1 and gets 17." [1d20=16]
[19:19] <Clank> "Oh, it's only a thought. We'd clearly need more empirical data before we can prove the hypothesis true...or at least be relatively certain."
[19:19] <Clank> "Thus, more of these creatures must die first."
[19:20] <Clank> "For science."
[19:21] * Clank leads Ratchet deeper into the room, looking for more creatures to slaughter.
[19:21] <Kotono> OOC: Spot check, Clank.
[19:21] * Zara circles round to approach the waterfall, glancing down in the lake to see how deep the water might be near the waterfall itself.
[19:21] <Kotono> The water looks to be about only 5 feet or so deep at the most.
[19:22] * Zara is more than five fee! And thus steps in to reach the chest she spied lurking behind the waterfall.
[19:22] <Zara> *feet
[19:22] <Clank> roll d20+4 spot Clank
[19:22] * Hatbot --> "Clank rolls d20+4 spot Clank and gets 18." [d20=14]
[19:22] <Clank> roll d20+10 ratchet
[19:22] * Hatbot --> "Clank rolls d20+10 ratchet and gets 29." [d20=19]
[19:22] * Noved splashes some cold water on her face and sips some water to cool her parched, scratchy throat. All that laugher is debilitating!
[19:23] <Kotono> Zara goes into the water, splashing in towards the waterfall. She gets quite wet nad is up to her chest in water, but she reaches the treasure chest!
[19:23] * Zara attempts to open it and retrieve the contents! Possibly something of a chore while deep in water, but still.
[19:23] <Noved> "Oh? Whatcha got there?" Noved moves closer to the waterfall, presumably to help Zara out!
[19:24] <Kotono> OOC: Into the water, Noved?
[19:24] <Noved> OOC: Nah, I'm still on the bank. In case she needs to be dragged out
[19:25] <Kotono> The chest opens! A white mist gushes out - you can see gold coins and then GAH! This whit emist is freezing cold, and with a flash, the entire waterfall and lake freeze solid! OOC: Fort save, Zara. Brrr.
[19:25] <Zara> roll 1d20+8 I'm tough!
[19:25] * Hatbot --> "Zara rolls 1d20+8 I'm tough! and gets 26." [1d20=18]
[19:25] <Kotono> roll 4d6 cold halve this
[19:25] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 4d6 cold halve this and gets 16." [4d6=4, 1, 6, 5]
[19:25] * Kotono changes topic to 'Alric 18/18 Zara 20/28 Clank 29/29 Noved 12/12 |Zara(20)>Noved(18; laughing)>Smiley 2(13)>Clank(12)>Alric(9)'


[19:26] <Kotono> GAH! Zara finds herself chest deep in freezing cold ice, trapped! The waterfall above is now a steep slope ascending up a good 60ft, frozen in place. Atop it you can see a passage, the way it flowed dow.n The frozen waterfall is full of little holes and hooks, as if designed to be climbed up.
[19:27] <Noved> "Oh, hang on!" Noved carefully steps out onto the ice, intent on reaching Zara quickly!
[19:27] * Zara struggles to break free of the clinging ice. At least she has her hands free, right? "Mayhaps someone brought an icepick?" she wonders, without much hope.
[19:28] * Clank clicks his heels together and goes to help Zara as well. "No, but my scimitar should do in a pinch," the small robot man says as he tries to crack the ice around Zara.
[19:28] <Noved> "My spear should do as well!" Noved chips in, chipping away at the ice around Zara!
[19:28] <Kotono> With strength and pulling, Zara is freed! The chest sits atop the frozen ice - gold coins can be glimpsed inside!
[19:29] <Kotono> OOC: Balance check, Clank and Noved.
[19:29] <Noved> roll 1d20+2 aw, come on. I was only kidding!
[19:29] * Hatbot --> "Noved rolls 1d20+2 aw, come on. I was only kidding! and gets 6." [1d20=4]
[19:29] <Clank> roll d20+3 balance for Ratchet, since I'm riding.
[19:29] * Hatbot --> "Clank rolls d20+3 balance for Ratchet, since I'm riding. and gets 14." [d20=11]
[19:29] <Kotono> roll 1d6 Noved
[19:29] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d6 Noved and gets 5." [1d6=5]
[19:29] * Kotono changes topic to 'Alric 18/18 Zara 20/28 Clank 29/29 Noved 7/12 |Zara(20)>Noved(18; laughing)>Smiley 2(13)>Clank(12)>Alric(9)'
[19:30] <Zara> "Thank you," Zara says as she climbs to her feet, suppressing a case of the shivers.
[19:30] <Noved> roll 1d6
[19:30] * Hatbot --> "Noved rolls 1d6 and gets 6." [1d6=6]
[19:30] <Kotono> As they do it, Noved slips on the iced over lake! His feet come out from him, hitting down HARD, bonejarringly so. OW!
[19:31] <Zara> "Careful! Move slowly on the ice," Zara advises as she reaches down to help her companions up.
[19:32] <Clank> "It looks like we can climb up this waterfall, ladies," Clank observes, frowning as he looks down at Ratchet then back up the waterfall. "I don't know if we should go this route or not though. I shall be without a ride if we do, for one thing."
[19:32] * Noved groans from her heap on the ice. "Ow. If that's what I get for being so nice all the time, maybe I should stop being nice."
[19:32] * Alric pulls out a wand and waves it in Noved's general direction..
[19:32] <Alric> roll 1d8
[19:32] * Hatbot --> "Alric rolls 1d8 and gets 3." [1d8=3]
[19:32] <Clank> "Isn't it talk like that which led to your brother's demise according to your earlier statement about him, miss?"
[19:32] <Kotono> OOC: 1d8+1. CL 1 CLW is 1d8+1. So 4.
[19:32] * Kotono changes topic to 'Alric 18/18 Zara 20/28 Clank 29/29 Noved 11/12 |Zara(20)>Noved(18; laughing)>Smiley 2(13)>Clank(12)>Alric(9)'
[19:32] <Kotono> Noved's mini concussion fades away, as do the bruises from his fall!
[19:33] <Noved> OOC: Noved is a she
[19:33] <Kotono> OOC: Thank you.
[19:33] <Noved> OOC: Are you saying I'm a tranny?
[19:33] <Alric> OOC: I am.
[19:33] <Clank> OOC: If the shoe fits.
[19:33] <Kotono> OOC: Well, I figure since no one in the group has trapfinding, it's the perfect tiem for you to.
[19:33] <Zara> Zara's hand glows with healing light, which she applies to Noved's remaining bruises as well as her own. (OOC: lay on hands exhausted for the day, 1hp to both of us.)
[19:33] <Noved> OOC: Oooooh. That hurt, Dune.
[19:33] <Alric> "Climb the waterfall?"
[19:33] * Alric eyes it dubiously..
[19:34] <Alric> "I'm.. not adept at such things."
[19:34] * Kotono changes topic to 'Alric 18/18 Zara 21/28 Clank 29/29 Noved 12/12 |Zara(20)>Noved(18; laughing)>Smiley 2(13)>Clank(12)>Alric(9)'
[19:34] <Noved> "Well, I hate to see our little metal man lose his mount."
[19:34] <Zara> "A climb up an icy slope such as this would be difficult. Did anyone bring climbing tools? I did not. If we lack such, I suggerst we tryt he door."
[19:34] <Clank> "To another room then," Clank says, easily convinced as he leads the velociraptor towards the room the creatures came from.
[19:34] <Noved> "I have some rope and a grappling hook!"
[19:34] <Noved> "Come back, Clank! We can haul the cute little bugger up!"
[19:34] <Zara> "Oh? This would facilitate our climb," Zara says. "And I admit to some curiosity."
[19:35] * Noved stuffs her pockets and backpack with gold!
[19:35] <Alric> "If.. you think we can do it effectively, I suppose we will try."
[19:36] <Noved> "Never hurts to try, at least!"
[19:36] * Noved uncoils the silk rope and grappling hook from her side after stuffing her pockets with gold.
[19:37] * Alric stuffs his pack full of gold, as well..
[19:37] <Kotono> It looks to be 200 gold coins, all told.
[19:37] * Noved twirls the grappling hook a few times, and then lets loose, aiming for the top of the falls!
[19:37] <Kotono> With a toss, the grapple is in position!
[19:37] * Clank shrugs and leads the raptor back after seeing the grapple set.
[19:38] * Noved yanks the rope tightly, making sure the grapple is in place.
[19:38] <Kotono> It looks to be good and tight.
[19:38] <Noved> "Zara, I suggest that you go first. You can haul the raptor up, since you look to be stronger than all of us combined!"
[19:38] * Zara grabs hold of the rope and hauls herself up. "I will lead, in case others need to be pulled up, yes."
[19:39] <Kotono> OOC: Make a climb check, Zara? Remember ACP applies.
[19:39] <Clank> "I'll follow after her and help with pulling Ratchet up. I am fairly strong myself, and would be decent at climbing were it not for all the weight of the materials that went into building me," Clank remarks, waiting for Zara to reach the top.
[19:39] <Zara> roll 1d20 I took ranks just so this wouldn't be negative!
[19:39] * Hatbot --> "Zara rolls 1d20 I took ranks just so this wouldn't be negative! and gets 12." [1d20=12]
[19:40] <Kotono> It's slippery ,but a rope helps immensely! Zara makes it up 30ft of the 60ft. The path ahead is a little steeper, but she's halway there! OOC: Unless you're doing something else here, make a second climb check.
[19:40] <Zara> roll 1d20
[19:40] * Hatbot --> "Zara rolls 1d20 and gets 20." [1d20=20]
[19:41] * Alric eyes the rope and prepares to follow..
[19:41] <Kotono> Up to the top Zara goes! Atop this path is a small little cave. The river comes from several tiny holes in the wall, all pouring out water. Below those, just at the dead-end head of the river, is another treasure chest!
[19:41] <Alric> roll 1d20-1 Climb
[19:41] * Hatbot --> "Alric rolls 1d20-1 Climb and gets 9." [1d20=10]
[19:42] * Clank had planned to go next, but seeing Alric start to climb, decides to wait.
[19:42] <Kotono> Alric starts to climb up, making it 20ft up before her footing slips! OOC: Reflex save to see if you manage to hold onto the rope and prevent a fall.
[19:42] <Alric> roll d20+3 Reflex (Also, male.)
[19:42] * Hatbot --> "Alric rolls d20+3 Reflex (Also, male.) and gets 17." [d20=14]
[19:43] <Kotono> OOC: Sorry.
[19:43] <Zara> "No need for all of us to make the climb!" Zara calls down. "There's just another chest here!"
[19:43] <Kotono> Clinging to the rope, Alric loses his footing but prevents a fall!
[19:43] * Zara opens it!
[19:43] <Kotono> The chest opens! A warm mist comes out from it - and abruptly the frozen water flows again! Within you see more good gold coins, as meanwhile with the water going, the grapple and rope fall, along with Alric!
[19:44] <Kotono> roll 2d6 fall damage owwies
[19:44] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 2d6 fall damage owwies and gets 5." [2d6=4, 1]
[19:44] * Kotono changes topic to 'Alric 13/18 Zara 21/28 Clank 29/29 Noved 12/12 |Zara(20)>Noved(18; laughing)>Smiley 2(13)>Clank(12)>Alric(9)'
[19:44] <Kotono> SPLASH! Alric makes a heavy impact into the water, hitting the stony, shallow botton of the now unfrozen lake. OW
[19:46] * Alric scrambles to his feet, coughing out the cold water, now *fully* wide awake.
[19:46] * Zara collects the coins, then gets out her own rope to facilitate her trek back down. (OOC: is the chest the only thing up here I can tie stuff to? Or are there any bits of rock around the cave I could use?)
[19:47] <Kotono> It looks to be another 200 gold coins! OOC: It looks like it. There's not much here - everything's weathered smooth.
[19:47] * Noved drags herself out of the pool, soaking wet. She makes sure to drag her rope and grapple with her, grumbling.
[19:48] <Zara> Well, she'll just have to hope it's heavy enough to support her weight climbing down. Zara loops the rope around the chest, ties it off, and makes her way to the edge to descend.
[19:48] <Kotono> OOC: Make a use rope check here?
[19:48] <Zara> roll 1d20+1 DEX, right?
[19:48] * Hatbot --> "Zara rolls 1d20+1 DEX, right? and gets 18." [1d20=17]
[19:48] <Kotono> OOC: Yes.
[19:48] <Kotono> OOC: Climb check now.
[19:48] <Zara> roll 1d20
[19:48] * Hatbot --> "Zara rolls 1d20 and gets 17." [1d20=17]
[19:49] <Kotono> With a sturdy rope down and good climbing, Zara makes it down safely, laden with gold!
[19:49] <Clank> "A resourceful human, you are. Impressive," Clank congratulates Zara after she makes it down.
[19:50] * Zara will have to buy new rope after leaving, but they certainly have the money for it now, no? "Thank you," she says. "Is everyone prepared to continue on? Shall we try the door by the waterfall?"
[19:50] * Noved wrings the water out of her long hair. "I'm all for it. Why not?"
[19:51] <Alric> "I'm ready to go forth.."
[19:51] * Zara nods and continues onward. Hopefully her difficulties with opening doors are done for the day!


[19:52] <Kotono> The next door seems to be locked or stuck - it doesn't open to a casual attempt. Meanwhile the party is rather wet from that entire affair, but otherwise not seriously harmed.
[19:52] <Noved> "Try kicking it down?"
[19:53] * Zara does just that!
[19:53] <Kotono> OOC: Str check.
[19:53] <Zara> roll 1d20+4
[19:53] * Hatbot --> "Zara rolls 1d20+4 and gets 12." [1d20=8]
[19:53] <Kotono> KICK! The door is not impressed. Just like a disapproving parent it does nothing to react or give gratification to that outburst, young lady. Didn'te ven budge.
[19:54] * Noved ponders. "Wellll. I could try to burn it down?"
[19:54] * Clank attempts to slash it to pieces first!
[19:54] <Clank> roll d20+6 attack roll?
[19:54] * Hatbot --> "Clank rolls d20+6 attack roll? and gets 22." [d20=16]
[19:54] <Clank> roll d4+3 hit?
[19:54] * Hatbot --> "Clank rolls d4+3 hit? and gets 4." [d4=1]
[19:55] <Alric> "We could work together to knock it down?
[19:56] <Kotono> The door is hit. It does not look damaged.
[19:57] * Clank searches for a way to open the door next and if finding one, uses it.
[19:58] <Kotono> OOC: Search check.
[19:58] * Zara makes one more attempt to batter it down, backing up and building a small head of steam before smashing her armored bulk into it.
[19:58] <Kotono> OOC: Str check, Zara. +2
[19:58] <Zara> roll 1d20+6
[19:58] * Hatbot --> "Zara rolls 1d20+6 and gets 17." [1d20=11]
[19:59] <Clank> roll d20+2 search
[19:59] * Hatbot --> "Clank rolls d20+2 search and gets 18." [d20=16]
[19:59] <Kotono> Clank's search is stopped by Zara SLAMMING into the door! Despite making paladin pancakes of herself, the door refuses to budge an inch.
[19:59] * Clank tries to continue his search while Zara recovers from the pancake manuever.
[19:59] <Zara> "Hmph," Zara mutters and backs away. "Mayhaps there's a key elsewhere in the tower. We can come back later?"
[20:00] <Alric> "Zara, let's try together..."
[20:00] <Noved> "Oh, move aside!" After her companions move aside, she flings an orb of acid at the door!
[20:00] * Alric moves next to Zara, intending to slam into the door with her..
[20:00] <Clank> "This isn't even a door. It's...a painted wall. Clever creatures."
[20:00] <Kotono> The orb of acid hits the door! IT sizzles a bit, revealing stone as it eats away what looks to be paint.
[20:01] * Zara blinks, examines it closely. "I am not amused. Let's be away from here."
[20:01] <Clank> "The door has been defeated," Clank says. "Onward!"


[20:01] <Kotono> OOC: Marching order?
[20:01] <Clank> ooc: Clank > squishies > Zara?
[20:01] <Noved> OOC: Yep.
[20:02] <Kotono> As you advance back to the entry room, you find company! By the north door are three of the smileys, 20ft away from you! Behind them are three lean, muscular goblins, each with oversized crossbows at the ready! "Get 'em, Giggle Team!" they call! "No one takes our treasure!" OOC: The ntaives seem downright unhappy with your efforts. Roll init.
[20:02] <Zara> roll 1d20+5
[20:02] * Hatbot --> "Zara rolls 1d20+5 and gets 16." [1d20=11]

[20:02] <Kotono> roll 1d20+3 Smiley 3

[20:05] <Kotono> OOC: Alric, init.
[20:05] <Alric> roll d20+3 Init
[20:05] * Hatbot --> "Alric rolls d20+3 Init and gets 6." [d20=3]
[20:06] * Kotono changes topic to 'Alric 13/18 Zara 21/28 Clank 29/29 Noved 12/12 | Goblin 1(23)>Smilely 2(22)>Noved(21)>Goblin 3(18)>Zara(16)>Clank(15)>Goblin 2(13)>Smiley 1(12)>Smiley 3(7)>Alric(6)'
[20:06] <Kotono> The first goblin hefts it's too large crossbow, pointing it right at Alric! "Get the ones without armor in back! They're probably wizards or priests!" he calls, as his arrow flies!
[20:07] <Kotono> roll 1d20+5 flatfooted AC, Alric?
[20:07] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+5 flatfooted AC, Alric? and gets 17." [1d20=12]
[20:07] <Alric> OOC: 14.
[20:07] <Kotono> roll 1d8+1+1d6
[20:07] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d8+1+1d6 and gets 8." [1d8=4][1d6=3]

[20:08] <Kotono> Alric learns an important moral out of this! When a giant crossbow bolt is sent your way, dodge! Don't let it hit you in the stomach! Having a crossbow bolt poking out of your back hurts a lot! OOC: Smilely 2
[20:08] <Kotono> The second smiley points and laughs at Clank! OOC: Are you subject to mind affecting, Merc?
[20:08] <Clank> ooc: yes
[20:08] <Kotono> OOC: Will.
[20:09] <Clank> roll d20+2 (+3 if fear effect, though I think it's probably not)
[20:09] * Hatbot --> "Clank rolls d20+2 (+3 if fear effect, though I think it's probably not) and gets 21." [d20=19]
[20:09] <Kotono> But Clank resists the urge to cackle and laugh madly! OOC: Noved, g.
[20:09] <Kotono> OOC: Go.
[20:09] * Noved flings an orb of acid at the goblin that told his comrades to focus on her and her squishy fellow! How rude!
[20:10] <Noved> roll 1d3+3 damage
[20:10] * Hatbot --> "Noved rolls 1d3+3 damage and gets 6." [1d3=3]
[20:11] <Kotono> OOC: Requires a ranged touch attack roll.
[20:11] <Kotono> OOC: Also, which target? The one that said that and just attacked, I presume?
[20:12] <Noved> OOC: I thought we'd ruled that OoA *didn't* require a RAR, which is why I didn't roll. But ok.
[20:12] <Kotono> OOC: News to me.
[20:12] <Noved> roll 1d20+3 ranged attack
[20:12] * Hatbot --> "Noved rolls 1d20+3 ranged attack and gets 5." [1d20=2]
[20:13] <Kotono> Noved focuses the orb and points, letting it rip...and hitting the wall to the side instead of her target! At that moment the third goblin follows up, firing its crossbow bolt at the wounded Alric!
[20:13] <Kotono> roll 1d20+5 flatfooted on Alric vs AC 14
[20:13] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+5 flatfooted on Alric vs AC 14 and gets 10." [1d20=5]
[20:13] <Kotono> But the bolt flies past him, lost into the lake well behind each of you! OOC: Zara.
[20:14] * Zara stomps forward to to butcher those bowmen before they can perforate her companions any further!
[20:14] <Zara> roll 1d20+8 may as well hit the one who was talking, sure
[20:14] * Hatbot --> "Zara rolls 1d20+8 may as well hit the one who was talking, sure and gets 12." [1d20=4]
[20:14] <Kotono> OOC: You'd have to get past the line of three smileys to do that, by the by.
[20:15] <Zara> OOC: oops! forgot they were in front. Well, I can swing and miss them instead. >.> Hardly matters given roll.
[20:15] <Kotono> Zara closes in, swinging heavy and hard...and managing ot miss anyway! OOC: Indeed. Clank.
[20:15] <Clank> ooc: You could have hit one of the flatfooted ones!
[20:16] * Clank leads Ratchet into the thick of the smileys, directing the velociraptor to attack one while he attacks another, focusing on the ones that have yet to try and ensnare someone's brain (as far as he can tell)!
[20:16] <Clank> roll d20+6 ride DC 10 to both act
[20:16] * Hatbot --> "Clank rolls d20+6 ride DC 10 to both act and gets 8." [d20=2]
[20:17] <Clank> Ratchet moves a little too wildly, and Clank is unable to attack as Ratchet attempts to claw one of the smileys.
[20:17] <Clank> roll d20+4
[20:17] * Hatbot --> "Clank rolls d20+4 and gets 16." [d20=12]
[20:17] <Kotono> OOC: Hit.
[20:17] <Clank> roll d8+3
[20:17] * Hatbot --> "Clank rolls d8+3 and gets 6." [d8=3]

[20:17] <Kotono> The third smiley gets a claw in the face, splitting apart that grin for good! A moment later, the second goblin aims and fires at the wounded Alric!
[20:17] <Kotono> roll 1d20+5 vs AC 14
[20:17] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+5 vs AC 14 and gets 8." [1d20=3]
[20:18] <Kotono> But the shot misses completely, whizzing past him again! The first smiley then points at Zara, cackling madly! OOC: Will.
[20:19] <Zara> roll 1d20+2
[20:19] * Hatbot --> "Zara rolls 1d20+2 and gets 7." [1d20=5]
[20:21] <Kotono> Zara collapses over, cackling madly! Everything's just so FUNNY now! OOC: Alric.
[20:21] * Kotono changes topic to 'Alric 5/18 Zara 21/28 Clank 29/29 Noved 12/12 | Goblin 1(23)>Smilely 2(22)>Noved(21)>Goblin 3(18)>Zara(16; laughing)>Clank(15)>Goblin 2(13)>Smiley 1(12)>Alric(6)'
[20:21] <Clank> "Fascinating," Clank observes.
[20:22] * Alric summons a Magic Missile, sending it towards the smiley that just downed his companion!
[20:23] <Alric> roll 1d4+4
[20:23] * Hatbot --> "Alric rolls 1d4+4 and gets 5." [1d4=1]
[20:23] <Kotono> The magic missile flies, striking fast and true! The first smilely collapses, a magic missile hole in its head! OOC: Ow. Goblin 1.

[20:24] <Kotono> The first goblin scowls and steps back, raising it's crossbow again and firing another bolt at Alric, "At least get one of them!" he calls! "Get 'em!"
[20:24] <Kotono> roll 1d20+5 AC?
[20:24] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+5 AC? and gets 15." [1d20=10]
[20:24] <Alric> OOC: 17.
[20:25] <Clank> "You'll never get the magicians while my aura of invincibility protects them now that I have had a chance to activate it!" Clank declares, trying to draw the fire to him from the goblins.
[20:25] <Kotono> But Alric nimbly sidesteps the lethal projectile! A moment later, the second smiley laughs all over again, pointing at Clank! OOC: Will.
[20:25] <Clank> roll d20+2
[20:25] * Hatbot --> "Clank rolls d20+2 and gets 17." [d20=15]
[20:25] <Kotono> Again Clank nobly resists the urge to laugh mightily! OOC: Noved.
[20:26] * Noved hastily digs out a jade chip from the pouch at her side and blows gently on it, calling down a storm of stone on the goblins!
[20:26] <Noved> roll 2d4+3 damage
[20:26] * Hatbot --> "Noved rolls 2d4+3 damage and gets 9." [2d4=3, 3]
[20:28] * Kotono changes topic to 'Alric 5/18 Zara 21/28 Clank 29/29 Noved 12/12 | Smilely 2(22)>Noved(21)>Zara(16; laughing)>Clank(15)>Alric(6)'
[20:28] <Kotono> Under that stony assault, the goblins are plummeled to a wet, mushy read paste! OOC: Ow. Zara, will sav.e
[20:28] <Zara> roll 1d20+2
[20:28] * Hatbot --> "Zara rolls 1d20+2 and gets 19." [1d20=17]
[20:28] <Kotono> Zara manages to compose herself, pulling herself back together! OOC: No more laughing, but it takes your turn to do so. Clank.
[20:28] * Kotono changes topic to 'Alric 5/18 Zara 21/28 Clank 29/29 Noved 12/12 | Smilely 2(22)>Noved(21)>Zara(16)>Clank(15)>Alric(6)'
[20:29] <Clank> "Clearly, I need to work on my bluffing skills. That didn't even merit a raise eyebrow from the cretins before they splattered," Clank mumbles as he and the velociraptor focus on the remaining creature.
[20:29] <Clank> roll d20+6 dc 10 to both attack
[20:29] * Hatbot --> "Clank rolls d20+6 dc 10 to both attack and gets 12." [d20=6]
[20:29] <Clank> roll d20+6 scimitar
[20:30] * Hatbot --> "Clank rolls d20+6 scimitar and gets 24." [d20=18]
[20:30] <Kotono> OOC: Hit.
[20:30] <Clank> roll d20+6 threat
[20:30] * Hatbot --> "Clank rolls d20+6 threat and gets 17." [d20=11]
[20:30] <Clank> roll d20+4 talons
[20:30] <Kotono> OOC: Crit.
[20:30] * Hatbot --> "Clank rolls d20+4 talons and gets 20." [d20=16]
[20:30] <Kotono> OOC: Hit.
[20:30] <Kotono> OOC: It dead.
[20:30] <Clank> roll d20-1 foreclaw
[20:30] * Hatbot --> "Clank rolls d20-1 foreclaw and gets 2." [d20=3]
[20:30] <Clank> roll d20-1 foreclaw
[20:30] * Hatbot --> "Clank rolls d20-1 foreclaw and gets 9." [d20=10]
[20:30] <Clank> roll d20-1 bite
[20:30] * Hatbot --> "Clank rolls d20-1 bite and gets 6." [d20=7]
[20:30] <Clank> ooc: Aww, no puree
[20:30] <Clank> roll 2d4+6+d8+3 just to see
[20:30] * Hatbot --> "Clank rolls 2d4+6+d8+3 just to see and gets 20." [2d4=3, 2][d8=6]
[20:30] <Kotono> With a slashing scimitar slice, the last smiley is cut into ribbons! OOC: Free act.
[20:31] * Zara climbs to her feet, a mighty scowl on her face. "I cannot abide this senseless laughter," she gripes.
[20:31] <Clank> "Senseless slaughter is much better," Clank says with an agreeing nod.
[20:31] * Alric chuckles as he grips his wounds, pulling out his wand... So hand..
[20:31] * Noved steps over to Alric, supporting him upright! "Dig out that wand of yours!"
[20:32] <Alric> "Well.. You can't spell slaughter without laughter?"
[20:32] * Alric wands himself.
[20:32] <Zara> "Perhaps this tower's madness is contagious," Zara speculates, eyeing her companions warily.
[20:33] <Alric> roll 1d8+1
[20:33] * Hatbot --> "Alric rolls 1d8+1 and gets 9." [1d8=8]
[20:33] * Kotono changes topic to 'Alric 14/18 Zara 21/28 Clank 29/29 Noved 12/12 | Smilely 2(22)>Noved(21)>Zara(16)>Clank(15)>Alric(6)'
[20:33] <Kotono> Alric's wounds heal considerably with one application of his wand!
[20:33] <Clank> "I'm a warforged. I do not get sick," Clank says in an almost snooty afronted tone.
[20:34] * Noved pats Alric on the back. "I'm glad you know how to handle that wand."
[20:34] * Alric nods.
[20:34] <Alric> "It takes a skilled hand to milk the most out of any wand."


[20:35] <Noved> "So! Shall we continue on? Or haul what loot what have back out to the boss?"
[20:35] <Clank> "I am still uninjured, and good to go, but I know humans require more rest than my kind," Clank graciously offers.
[20:35] <Zara> "I am sufficiently hale and hearty to continue," Zara says.
[20:36] <Kotono> Giggles sound right behind Zara a moment as she says that.
[20:36] * Zara whips round instantly, sword at the ready!
[20:36] * Noved groans. "More gigglers? Really?"
[20:36] <Kotono> Nothing's there - just empty air.
[20:36] * Zara narrows her eyes. "Then again, perhaps retreat and rest would be of benefit."
[20:37] * Noved squints her eyes dangerously. "Hmm....I wonder...."
[20:37] <Clank> "Well, the tower description did say there were plenty of those to kill. And as you wish. Will we be returning to this tower soon, or move on to another after this?"
[20:37] <Noved> She says aloud to thin air, "Knock, knock!"
[20:37] <Kotono> There is no reply to Noved.
[20:38] * Noved pouts. "I had an excellent joke lined up, too."
[20:38] <Alric> "One bolt through the stomach is enough for me, I think.."
[20:39] * Clank doesn't particularly seem to care, happy to leave the decision to the humans.
[20:40] * Noved shrugs. "Let's try the north door then!
[20:40] <Noved> "
[20:41] * Zara shrugs, and moves to take the lead away from the fragile spellcaster, opening the door in her place.
<Cidward> God willing, we'll all meet in Buttquest 2: The Quest for More Butts.
