039.2 Ithea at Rapture

[Corwin]

[19:47] <Kotono> Finding Stille isn't hard. He's lingering in the training hall, arms crossed as he watches Ysgardian regulars clang metal against metal. His expression is thoughtful and concentrated, eyes narrow as he observes.
[19:49] <Ithea> "Hey Stille, what're you doing?" the catfolk warrior asks as she approaches, her eyes flickering towards the Ysgardians, searching for what might have caught Stille's attention.
[19:51] <Kotono> His face transforms into a smile, "I'm studying." Gesturing towards them, "I've noticed both yourself and fair Sylvie have a way of analyzing and weaponizing bursts of inspiration. I think it would be a good skill to learn. So I'm studying them and trying to make intellectual leaps to what they're going to do before they do it."
[19:59] <Ithea> "Ah, I see. That is one way to learn that," Ithea says with a nod. "You may only learn that sort of insight regarding schools of combat that way though, some creatures mostly fight through instinct so they're harder to predict just from observation."
[20:01] <Kotono> "Yes, but I believe the principals are the same," Stille says, "Ultimately, it's another approach to intuition. I intend to harness that thoughtless feeling." Shaking his head, "Still, it's no matter. Perhaps we can worry about other things, such as dinner?"
[20:10] * Ithea laughs. "Dinner would be lovely. I was actually searching for you, wanted to see if you'd like to take a short trip away from Aurora," Ithea admits. Pausing, she scratches the back of her head as she often does when nervous. "I -may- have accidentally pissed off a goddess by forgetting all about a small little task she'd left me. I may have also entirely accidently completed said task because of you. It's a... long story, and one I should probably explain to you first before we go out on said trip out."
[20:24] <Kotono> "Oh. Well, yeah, you should," Stille chuckles warmly, going to take Ithea's hadn after it scratches. "I have something prepared in my quarters. How about we retire there and we talk it over?"
[20:36] * Ithea nods. "Yeah, let's go there. I wouldn't mind some privacy. Sylvie was horribly teasing when she heard the story, so I'd rather more people didn't find out than needed."
[20:45] <Kotono> "Ah, fair Sylvie does have a sharp tongue," Stille says as the two of you walk back. Stille's quarters are decorated with knick-knacks all over. Things of metal and crystal, of glass and earth. Carvings, jars, pottery. Simple paintings, woven shawls. Broken blades hanging on the wall. Immediately, the smell of rich meat and sweet sugars fills the air.
[20:48] <Ithea> "Nice collection," Ithea says, as she follows her nose towards the smell of food. "Now Stille...Are you in the habit of leaving food prepared in your room just waiting for a pretty girl to come say hello and get invited for dinner?" she jokes as she searches for the source of those smells.
[20:54] <Kotono> Grinning easily as he goes to his table, where a pot sits, as well as a bowl of what looks to be chocolate coated cookies, "I like to come back to a prepared meal. It's a special treat to smell your food so sublimely before you eat."
[20:58] * Ithea chuckles. "Yes, I do suppose it's rather pleasant," she admits, as she sits on the other side of the table, facing him. "So that story, you want it after dinner, or during?"
[20:59] <Kotono> Serving out what looks to be a rich stew of beef, savory bacon and mild peppers, "Tell me as we eat," he says, passing out bowls and sitting down. "My ears are yours alone."
[21:06] * Ithea shakes her head, looking both amused and pleased. "You really are such a non-stop charmer," she says with a smile, before she starts to tell him about Sharess.
[21:08] <Ithea> "Alright, first, you've heard stuff about Willim before, right? Big troll guy, died helping to save Queen Ilsenine?" Ithea asks, as she crunches on a slice of bacon.
[21:09] <Kotono> The food is rather good - seasoned right and meaty. A nod, "I've heard that story. Go on."
[21:12] <Ithea> "Alright, so him and the others were trying to recruit Vul'lath at some point, but he had the problem of being...well, damn old. So we were looking for a way around that. Afina and Jaela eventually found such a way, but in the meantime, Willim found his own way, through Sharess," Ithea continues. Pausing, she shakes her head and says, "Well, 'obviously' that meant I was getting recruited for his little quest..." while drawling on the 'obviously'.
[21:14] <Ithea> "Willim, Dana and I headed in a search for Sharess, had some encounters along the way, including a room full of bathing nymphs...don't ask, please," Ithea hurriedly interjects as she mentions that. "Well, anyway, so we found her, and told her about our search."
[21:15] <Kotono> Stille grins, but he graciously does not ask. "You met Sharess? How was she?"
[21:16] <Ithea> "Soft, fluffy, and she loved having her fur stroked," Ithea answers drily.
[21:19] <Kotono> Stille grins even more. "My, my, my," is all he says.
[21:21] <Ithea> "She was in the form of a housecat," Ithea explains with a shrug. Pausing, she adds, "A pink one, at that."
[21:22] <Ithea> "...Aaaaanyway, so we found her, and asked her about these apples she had access to that would have helped Vul'lath," Ithea continues. "Sharess' stated she'd consider it if we completed a little quest for her."
[21:24] <Ithea> "She wanted us to be responsible for starting up a passionate romance. Get two people together, have 'em be very happy together, yadda yadda...uh, yeah, tough request when you consider we had Dana, a troll, and well, me," Ithea says, tossing her hands up into the air helplessly.
[21:25] <Kotono> Chuckling, "Impressive apples," Listening and nodding, "No, I can understand where she was coming from. It was a crime you weren't spoken for," Stille says, smiling warmly. "Clearly she sought to bring justice and fix that mind-boggling turn of events."
[21:34] * Ithea blushes. "Uh, yeah, well, that wasn't exactly the plan, though it was what Sylvie tried to suggest I should do when she heard the story. You're pretty much the first guy I've ever gone out with, so romance wasn't exactly at the forefront of my mind back then. We tried to pair up some other people, didn't exactly work out, Willim died, Afina and Jaela found their solution, and we kinda just left Sharess hanging on that quest for...well, it really has been a while now."
[21:39] <Kotono> "So you want to make things right, out of respect to Sharess?" Stille concludes. "Admirable.  I would suspect Sharess would be fond of you to begin with, for she rules over cats and catsblooded of all types."
[21:41] <Ithea> "I did say Willim considered that me an obvious recruit for his little quest," Ithea says with an amused smile. "And I'll be honest, while yes, there is respect going on, there's mostly the part of not wanting to have a goddess pissed off at me if I can help it."
[21:41] <Ithea> "Though I guess that counts as a form of respect too."
[21:41] * Ithea pauses, and grins more widely. "I certainly don't care about pissing off Tiamat, come to think of it."
[21:44] <Kotono> "Amen." Stille says, just leaning back now, "So..." Pausing a few moments in thought, "We go back as a happy, loving couple and let Sharess see us?"
[21:45] * Ithea blushes. "When you say it like that I almost feel like I'm introducing my boyfriend to my mom or something," Ithea says, looking embarrassed.
[21:48] <Kotono> "Well, if Mystra is the Mother of all Magic, then Sharess is the Mother of all...well, not love. Sune handles love. Lovemaking, perhaps." Stille just smiles at that, gentler.
[21:50] * Ithea squirms, not quite comfortable going there just yet. "Right, well, anyway, are you up for a trip out, see if we can find her, catch her up on stuff, and make peace if she's a bit pissed?" she asks, moving the conversation along.
[21:54] <Kotono> Stille nods, "My thoughts exactly," he says, "When do you want to go? Not much is happening since the demon attack."
[21:56] <Ithea> "Once we finish here sound okay?"
[22:00] <Kotono> Before Stille can reply, there is a scratcy knock on the door. "A moment, let me see who is calling on us."
[22:02] * Ithea nods.
[22:04] <Kotono> On the door opening, 27 just about bowls over Stille! 27 comes up to Ithea, sitting before her. "Anarch."
[22:15] <Ithea> "Hey 27, what's up?" she asks, as she leans to the side, and pats 27 on the head.
[22:18] <Kotono> 27 sits next to Ithea, "I want to come with you," he announces right off.
[22:22] * Ithea blinks. "Why?" she asks, wondering what reason the slaad would have to want to join them, given he's never really joined them for any other trips outside.
[22:46] <Kotono> "Want to come." 27 replies. Stille smlies ever so nicely, "27, I'm afraid I don't think you'd fit into Rapture that well. Ah, I mean, it would be awkward for everyone."
[22:51] <Ithea> "Stille has a point, Willim had trouble fitting in there too, you know, 27," Ithea muses.

[Corwin]

[03:31] <Kotono> "I want to come," 27 repeats, looking at Stille. "I need to come."
[03:31] <Kotono> Stille's eyebrow twitches a moment, his brow furrowing. "I...see. I presume you have some manner of prophecy regarding this?"
[03:40] <Ithea> "If he needs to come, I'm willing to trust that really is the case, even if it's just an instinct, not a prophecy outright," Ithea says at 27's last comment, as she speaks to Stille.
[03:42] <Kotono> "I need to come," 27 asserts again. Stille smiles ever so easily, "Well, if your mind is made up, I suppose we must bring him along. Well then, if we're to go, we should go."
[03:56] <Ithea> "Alright. Do you have a way to travel planes, Stille, or should I go ask Tepen? I can also ask if he has a scroll of sending so we have a way back afterwards," Ithea asks.
[03:57] <Kotono> "I'm afraid not," Stille says, "That would be prudent. Why don't 27 and I meet you by the front gates?"
[03:57] <Kotono> 27 stares at Stille, not moving from his position.
[03:58] <Ithea> "Alright, I'll meet you there in a bit, then," Ithea says with a nod as she stands up. "Dinner was lovely by the way."
[03:59] <Kotono> "Why thank you," At those words 27 goes to join Stille, as he smiles, "Perhaps we can do this again tomorrow night?"
[04:00] <Ithea> "That sounds great, it's a date then," Ithea says before she vanishes out the door and is off to the library to search for Tepen.
[04:19] <Kotono> Tepen and Ithea walk out to the gates of Aurora. Here you find Stille standing just outside. He has a strained smile on his face, as 27 lingers a goodly distance from him. 27 looks...well, like 27. He paces about, staring at Ithea as she approaches. "Anarch!"
[04:21] <Ithea> "Sorry to keep you both waiting," Ithea says, throwing an apologizing glance to Stille before turning to the slaad. "27, remember to behave, alright?"
[04:25] <Kotono> 27 comes to Ithea, nodding silently. Stille coughs, clearing his throat before going on, "Well then, we're ready to go."
[04:25] <Kotono> Tepen looks between them and just smiles a little bit, "Brightwater's ahead. Gather around me."
[04:26] <Ithea> "Thanks again, Tepen," Ithea says, as she does just that.
[04:29] <Kotono> In an instant, the three of yous tand in the shining city of Brightwater. The wealth of Waukeen surrounds you all over, the air filled with the sounds of bartering and the jangling of coins.
[04:35] <Ithea> "Alright...27, I don't suppose you happen to know where we can find her exactly, do you? If not, we may just want to head to the Heartsfire," Ithea asks the slaad first, turning to Stille for the second part.
[04:36] <Kotono> 27 just stays by Ithea, "Well, we may as well head there then." Stille says, as the three go on. As they do...
[04:36] <Kotono> roll 1d100
[04:36] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d100 and gets 63." [1d100=63]
[04:36] <Kotono> roll 1d100
[04:36] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d100 and gets 23." [1d100=23]
[04:42] <Kotono> You wander towards Rapture. The streets are wondrous, but ultimately without incident. As you approach the bridge leading into Rapture, you find that a great lioness stands atop the middle of it. She is the size of a horse, all lean muscle and restrained predatory power.
[04:45] <Ithea> "That's unusual and probably a sign meant for us...right?" Ithea asks Stille for his opinion, before she slowly approaches the lioness. "Hello..." she says in polite greeting, still finding it weird to talk to cats, even if she'll likely be a talking one, just like every other one has seemed to be whenever she's visited.
[04:46] <Kotono> "Probably," Stille says, smiling to the lion, "G'day, fair huntress. We seek to pass into the realm of Sharess."
[04:47] <Kotono> 27 follows, as the lioness raises her head, "I sense that one of you opposes love and romance," she declares, "Which of you carries such blackhearted thoughts to this realm?"
[04:47] * Ithea smiles as well at Stille's confident and charming greeting, before frowning at the lioness' words, immediately turning her eyes towards 27. "...27?"
[04:51] <Kotono> Stille clears his throat, "If I may, Ithea? I had thought 27 sought to avert my interest in you, and heading with you into Rapture alone. I feel he did not disguise his intent to me in any manner."
[04:52] <Kotono> 27 looks up at Ithea, "Anarch?" it responds, sounding almost...sheepish. "Sylvie, Kascha, Simmer, Kascha again, Afina and Crystal."
[04:53] <Kotono> "What about them?" Stille challenges back, before he pauses, "Are you...jealous of me?" he says with a onte of dawning surprise in his voice, "Ithea, does that sound right to you?"
[04:54] * Ithea blinks. "What about them?" Ithea echoes, confused as to that string of names, and Kascha coming up twice. She's not entirely disbelieving about 27 being jealous, but what do the other girls have to do with anything? She waits for 27 to (hopefully) explain himself more before answering Stille.
[04:56] <Kotono> "I don't want Ithea to get hurt," 27 mutters, heart-sword thrusting out, in and out. "You'll hurt her."
[04:56] <Kotono> Stille blinks as well, "Is that a logical, coherent reply from a slaad? One that makes sense and shows an active plan?"
[04:59] * Ithea smiles gently as she pats 27, touched a bit by that even if it doesn't explain the girls. Looking between Stille and 27, she says to 27, "I did call him a heartbreaker from the start, 27. I'm prepared for it if it happens. Besides...I've made something of a habit to go against what the future is supposed to hold for me." Ithea smiles at Stille with the last part. "Who knows what'll really happen in the end?"
[05:02] <Kotono> "Besides, if it's what I think it is, fair Sylvie I have already determined to be beyond my reach," Stille sighs dramatically, "I've set my heart on Ithea."
[05:02] <Kotono> 27 just looks up to Ithea, the badger slaad meeting her gaze. "Okay."
[05:08] * Ithea blinks. "You had a crush on Sylvie?" Ithea asks, attempting to decipher Stille's statement.
[05:10] <Kotono> "Women are beautiful things. I find it easy to admire any and all of them. Alas, Sylvie's own heart barricades her away," Still explains, "I do believe that 27 is implying I would break your confidence in me with those other ladies. I assure you he is mistaken, or speaking from other motives besides pure prophecy."
[05:11] <Kotono> After a beat, "I have the woman in Aurora I want," he says, taking Ithea's hand, "I don't need any of the others, no matter what 27 implies."
[05:14] <Ithea> "You really are a charmer, you damn heartbreaker," Ithea says with an amused look, as she grips his hand and pecks him on the cheek. "I don't mind you admiring them, you know. And I'm sure you're smart enough to know that I will kick your ass all over the place if you ever do more than just admire them."
[05:15] <Ithea> Turning back to the lioness, still looking amused, Ithea pats 27's head again with her free hand. "So he's not going to try to break us up anymore, he okay for a pass in now, fair huntress?" Ithea asks, borrowing Stille's charming little title for the feline.
[05:17] <Kotono> The lioness steps inside, "May you find passion within this abode."
[05:18] <Ithea> "Thank you. Before we continue onward...Do you know if we could find Lady Bast at the Heartsfire? And if not there, where we might do so?" Ithea asks as well.
[05:48] <Kotono> "Lady Bast is about. I do not know where," The lioness confesses.
[05:52] <Ithea> "Alright, thank you anyway," Ithea says with a nod. With a short nod to Stille and 27, she starts leading the way to the Heartsfire, figuring the fountain is a good enough starting place.
[06:00] <Kotono> roll 1d100
[06:00] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d100 and gets 32." [1d100=32]
[06:00] <Kotono> roll 1d100
[06:00] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d100 and gets 38." [1d100=38]
[06:01] <Kotono> On and on you go, through Rapture. Eventually, after passing through several alleyways, another right takes you along a narrow alley, opening up into a dead end. Here sunshine comes down, grass and a fountain. Dozens of couples sit about, staring into each other's eyes and in utter rapture. As you come closer, you feel a momentary shiver over your body, as if a feather was tickling every inch
[06:01] <Kotono> of your flesh.
[06:06] * Ithea recalls that feeling from the last time she passed near the fountain. She isn't sure if it's because of the structure, or a sign of Sharess' presence though, and she immediately starts looking for a pink cat almost instinctively after that sensation passes by.
[06:10] <Kotono> "My," Stille shivers, "That was an interesting sensation. I think I'd like to feel that again." Meanwhile Ithea looks about! OOC: Spot check?
[06:15] <Ithea> roll d20+42
[06:15] * Hatbot --> "Ithea rolls d20+42 and gets 62." [d20=20]
[06:16] <Kotono> OOC: Roll 1d20+62.
[06:18] <Ithea> roll d20+62 sure why not
[06:18] * Hatbot --> "Ithea rolls d20+62 sure why not and gets 69." [d20=7]
[06:18] <Ithea> ooc: You're a perverse one, Ko. Hatbot too.
[06:21] <Kotono> OOC: I cracked up, I admit it.
[06:21] <Ithea> ooc: Shocker.
[06:22] <Kotono> Tucked way in a little corner alley you can see a momentary blur of pink.  It's in the very depths of the shadows, only a milimeter of it visible.
[06:23] <Ithea> "...I think I saw her?" Ithea says a little uncertainly to her companions, as she heads towards the source of pink, trying keep track of it and get a better glance.

[Corwin]

[03:09] <Blondezilla> Stille and 27 follow Ithea! The alley is dark and softly lit, a haziness to it, everything in soft, romantic focus. As you enter into the alley, your vision shifts and swims. You stand in a great pleasure-hall, a glass dome of delicate pink crystal refracting the light from above into a pink glow. On an oversized divan a feline sits. It is the size of a tiger, yet glows pinker than even the
[03:09] <Blondezilla> light around it. Ten catfolk surround the feline, five male and five female. Each are clad in silken gauze, hiding little and suggesting much. Each has a vast wicker fan, fanning the feline. "Eyes just like a feline, sharp enough to find me." The voice from the tigeress is a sensual purr, the ten catfolk staring at her with lovesick, adoring gazes.
[03:15] * Ithea raises an eyebrow at the other catfolk, but doesn't judge. Focusing on the pink feline, given the whole display and past experience Ithea herself feels pretty confident that it's Sharess. Ithea gives a small courtsy at her words...just a bit more than polite, but not totally deferring. "Thank you for the compliment. It's been a while, Lady Bast."
[03:17] <Blondezilla> With a sweeping florish Stille bows deep and replies in Celestial, "My awestruck greetings, Radiant Goddess."
[03:17] <Blondezilla> 27 stares at Sharess, hiding quickly behind Ithea's legs.
[03:22] <Blondezilla> "The Goddess speaks!" The ten catfolk sing as one, a perfect melody of adoration. Sharess awaits them to finish, before replying, "Oh, don't be so coy!" Purring, "Come here and tell me all about your adventures."
[03:33] * Ithea rises up again and moves closer to Sharess, patting 27 on the head before she starts moving. "Well, uhm, a lot's happened. Willim died when we tried to rescue someone, fought a lot with hell," Ithea replies before she starts summarizing some of what's gone on since the last
[03:33] <Ithea> time she met that white cat telling them about Jessica and her 'best friend'/not-boyfriend, given that there was no real sign of the goddess presence the next time she'd been in the area.
[03:35] <Blondezilla> 27 stays back, darting behind Stille and clinging to his legs. In the background Stille tries to subtly detangle, but 27 is clinging for dear life. Meanwhile the feline listens intently, "Oh, keep going. Just come over here. Don't be shy!"
[03:39] * Ithea had approached already, and pauses briefly at the words. With a small shrug, Ithea even moves further into the alley, until she passes the other catfolk, and sits next to the pink tigress. She eyes the cat straight in the eyes, checking for approval before she continues.
[03:42] <Blondezilla> roll 1d20+27
[03:42] * Hatbot --> "Blondezilla rolls 1d20+27 and gets 36." [1d20=9]
[03:42] <Blondezilla> Sharess purrs, laying down and placing her head in Ithea's lap, just like a feline looking for attention. "Mmmmmm. What interesting things! And you brought that lovely man there with you!" The fans of the catfolk blow the breeze on you, scented like islands and beaches, of the sea air and the scent of exotic oils.  As one they sing, "The Goddess shows her favor!" Meanwhile Stille is still trying
[03:42] <Blondezilla> to get 27 off, managing a bow even as his footwork dances about. "You flatter me, Radiant Goddess."
[03:44] <Ithea> "He's charming too," Ithea says with a smile directed towards Stille following his words.
[03:45] <Blondezilla> "I do question your choice of companion beyond him," The voice of the Goddess is contentedly lazy, "Slaad are so ugly! Why suffer carrying around that thing?"
[03:46] <Blondezilla> The ten catfolk turn and stare at 27, who goes bone still and hides his gaze. "The Goddess expresses her displeasure!"
[03:50] <Ithea> "27 is loyal, and he's saved many of my people. Even if he annoys a lot of them, we've accomplished much thanks to him as well," Ithea says in his defense. In fact, she continues on with her stories, skipping past the stories involving Time and Oblivion (for obvious reasons, given the warnings made on those subjects, even if Bast would likely not give a damn).
[03:50] <Ithea> In fact she goes right into the story of Yian, Operation Black Cloud and Makaril, both catching up to the present and giving one good show of what 27 has helped them accomplish.
[03:51] <Blondezilla> OOC: Are you mentioning what he is, precisely?
[03:53] <Ithea> ooc: herald of ygorl? No. I'm giving enough details to keep stories engaging, and that's about it. She didn't ask for me to bear all my secrets anyway.
[03:53] <Blondezilla> OOC: Okay.
[03:54] <Blondezilla> Sharess lies there in seeming contentment, listening to all of Ithea's stories. "So interesting...." She purrs, and wiggles her whiskers! Abruptly 27 goes still and keels over, fast asleep! "Now then," A low purr deep in her throat, "Why don't you invite Stille over here and we have a little talk?"
[03:56] * Ithea raises an eyebrow at 27's odd choice of time to sleep. "I'm sure Stille will be happy to do just that. He doesn't like 27 much either," she says in amusement, gesturing for him to do as requested.
[03:59] <Blondezilla> At last free of 27, Stille deeply smiles and bows as he approaches. He sits on Ithea's other side, "Ah, 27 is...protective of Ithea," Stille says after a moment's hesitation.
[04:00] <Blondezilla> "Oh, don't worry about him. Slaad are sometimes interesting and sometimes not, and this one strikes me as not." Sharess purrs, butting her head up and rubbing against Ithea's tummy. "I'm pleased you came here with someone dear to you, who can help spark bonfires of passion within you."
[04:04] * Ithea blushes, still finding it embarrassing to talk about passion and all that, given Stille is pretty much her first boyfriend and they haven't really done all -that- much honestly. "...thanks."
[04:06] <Blondezilla> Laughter comes. It is a sound of pure joy, one that pierces through everything and brings a smile to face. Sharess looks to Ithea, "Don't be embarrassed. Embrace your love. Stille will take good care of you." Looking over to him, "All felines are under my protection, including those with feline blood."
[04:06] <Blondezilla> "Ah!" Stille quickly nods, "I understand, Radiant Goddess. Fear not, for I intend nothing but the best for lovely Ithea."
[04:29] * Ithea coughs, still a bit embarrassed. "Ah...anyway, like I mentioned before, we don't really need those apples anymore, and I kind of just gave up on trying to do anything with Jessica or anybody else since my companions solved the problem on their own. I just figured I should have left you know, even if it's a bit late now," Ithea says.
[04:29] <Ithea> ooc: assuming I mentioned something about Afina's/Jaela's success while telling stories...skipping over Tepen and reaction there
[04:32] <Blondezilla> "Well, you got yourself someone nice, so you're forgiven," Sharess purrs away, "On one condition."
[04:32] <Ithea> "What's that?"
[04:33] <Blondezilla> Rolling over to present her tummy to Ithea, "Rub my tummy?" she asks, sounding utterly hopeful, looking like an oversized lapcat.
[04:33] <Blondezilla> Stille tries to say something, he really does, but he settles for shaking his head.
[04:34] * Ithea smiles and does as requested easily enough.
[04:35] <Blondezilla> She is very warm and soft, Ithea can note. A loud purring comes from the Goddess at this, "Aaaaaah..." she sighs in complete contentment. "You're forgiven!"
[04:36] <Ithea> "That's very kind of you, Lady Bast."
[04:40] <Blondezilla> "Thank you very much," STille seconds, as Sharess purrs away. Softly now, "So now that we have all that unpleasant business worked out..." In a warm haze everything becomes blurry, and you find yourself in a suite. A glorious, luxurious suite. A large, heart shaped bed is ahead of you, the large windows letting in copious amount of sunset purple-pink light. A bucket of ice is besides the bed,
[04:40] <Blondezilla> a bottle of champaign nestled in.
[04:43] * Ithea is startled by the change and looks around the room.
[04:47] <Blondezilla> The room is all soft luxury. A corner is taken up by a deep bath, a table full of what look to be delicacies, bottle of syrup and a folded up note. Stille is standing by you, with no sign of 27. "Doubtless Lady Bast's manners are impeccable," Stille begins, going to lay a hand on Ithea's shoulders, "Is she always like that?"
[04:48] <Ithea> "I haven't met her that often...but I did mention pink cats before, didn't I?" Ithea says with a smile, eyeing the folded up note. Pulling away from Stille, she goes for the note, opening it.
[04:50] <Blondezilla> Written in swirling black letters, "I sent the slaad home for you. The room's all yours for as long as you two want to stay up there."
[04:55] <Ithea> "You know, when I thought of bringing you along, I wasn't expecting this. Somehow, I think I should have, but I didn't," Ithea admits as she sets the note down, and rubs her temples.
[05:00] <Blondezilla> "Yes, I suppose you should have," Stille agrees gently, going to put an arm around Ithea. "Expecting anything less from a Goddess of Love was...naive of us." Settling on that, "But," With a sweep of his arms, "Would you care for a snack, milady?"
[05:04] * Ithea laughs. "A snack would be nice, Stille," Ithea answers, feeling a bit more comfortable with those words.
[05:07] <Blondezilla> Bowing again, Stille goes over to the table. He takes up a silver chalice, full of what looks to be fish shaped crackers. They swim in the air of the chalice, as of these little bready things were in the ocean proper. "Now this is a curious thing," he says, bringing it over.
[05:11] * Ithea eyes it curiously, and on a whim casts detect magic as she observes the little crackers, wondering if it's an enchantment on the chalice or the crackers.
[05:12] <Blondezilla> The crackers radiate faint magic. OOC: Spellcraft.
[05:13] <Ithea> roll d20+31
[05:13] * Hatbot --> "Ithea rolls d20+31 and gets 39." [d20=8]
[05:17] <Blondezilla> The crackers are infused with the magic to move and a special taste. They'll taste like fresh, rich fish.
[05:21] * Ithea blinks and reachers for one of the crackers, and muches on it. "...Neat."
[05:25] <Blondezilla> The taste is strong, like a fresh fish speared out of a rushing stream. Stille takes one as well, "Ah, worth the trip alone," Stille says approvingly, "It's like eating crunchy fish."
[05:27] * Ithea nods. "Crunchy, but still somehow the taste of fresh fish," she says as well, agreeing.
[05:27] <Blondezilla> Stille says, "I'll get another treat. Close your eyes." Stille says, murmuring to her. "I'll surprise you with this one."
[05:32] * Ithea raises an eyebrow, and looks at him amusingly. Still, she closes her eyes, and murmurs, "Just so you know, if it's a kiss, you're going to have to be very impressive to pull off surprise out of me." Not actually kissing her would probably be surprising too, but Ithea doesn't say that.
[05:36] <Blondezilla> It is indeed a kiss - a soft and tender one, but doesn't last long. At the same time Ithea feels something go around her neck, a soft weight there. "Open your eyes," Stille murmurs.
[05:37] * Ithea does so, and stares at what Stille's placed on her neck.
[05:42] <Blondezilla> Around Ithea's neck is a necklace of silver, with a large blue topaz at the center, resting against her neck.
[05:45] * Ithea actually does look surprised at the sight of the stone.
[05:45] <Blondezilla> Stille smiles, running a hand across Ithea's cheek, "Do you like it," he asks.
[05:47] <Ithea> "I do," Ithea answers with a smile. Mind you, she prefers orange topaz to blue...but it's the thought that counts, and the blue stone is still rather stunning.
[05:51] <Blondezilla> "Then my labors have paid well," Stille whispers to Ithea, "This place is lovely, but the smile on your face outshines even Sharess."

[Corwin]

[02:24] * Ithea doesn't say anything just continues to smile.
[02:26] <Kotono> "How about..." Stille whispers, "I show you how much I appreciate that lovely smile, Ithea."
[02:26] <Ithea> "Alright..." Ithea whispers back.
[02:31] <Kotono> OOC: Okay, going to return to Aurora now?
[02:32] <Ithea> ooc: To the mighty fortress of devil slaying!
[02:33] <Kotono> Your return is without incident. On return Elena appears as you walk through the courtyard. "Oh Ithea!" she chirps, "Morniel and Gisfal are looking for you now that you're back."
[02:35] <Ithea> "Sure. The strategy room, Elena?" Ithea asks for confirmation.
[02:36] <Kotono> "Right!" Elena chirps, vanishing away.
[02:37] <Ithea> "Alright, I'll see you later then, Stille," Ithea says before she starts heading to said room.
[02:38] <Kotono> Stille just smiles and waves as Ithea goes off. You find both Gisfal and Morniel awaiting, the latter speaking. "Ithea, please, sit down," He offers, "How was your trip to Brightwater?" Gisfal nods as you enter, but stays quiet.
[02:40] <Ithea> "Interesting, but haven't had a trip there that wasn't," Ithea says with an amused shake of her head. "Do you know if 27 popped in before Stille and I did, out of curiosity? I'll ask Elena after we finish talking otherwise."
[02:41] <Kotono> Gisfal scowls at that, "He appeared just outside Aurora. Adrian dragged him back in, he was dazed. Elena mentioned he was in your quarters."
[02:42] <Ithea> "Ah, well, as long as he's fine he can sleep it off then. The locals didn't much like him," Ithea says in lieu of explaining.
[02:42] <Kotono> "I find Brightwater interesting, but it's a land of the physical." Morniel shakes his head, "In any case, General Gisfal has a possible lead on a way to procure considerable wealth and resources for Aurora."
[02:42] <Ithea> "Oh?" Ithea asks, focusing on Gisfal, looking curious.
[02:44] <Kotono> "Have you ever herd of Dralicus the Demented?" Gisfal asks, going right to business. He sits in good posture, at attention. OOC: You can make an K:P check here if you like.
[02:45] <Ithea> roll d20+33 (guessing at K:P, SR page isn't really loading)
[02:45] * Hatbot --> "Ithea rolls d20+33 (guessing at K:P, SR page isn't really loading) and gets 52." [d20=19]
[02:46] <Ithea> ooc: ah, there it goes. -1 that result
[02:47] <Kotono> Dralicus the Demented is a death slaad wild mage. If that isn't terrifying enough, it's said that he mantains a giant dungeon in Limbo and uses magic to 'recruit' adventurers to fight in it. A dungeon that's entirely morphic and under his control...though it's said it's stuffed to the gills with treasure, including that of the adventureres who didn't escape.
[02:49] <Ithea> "I've heard of him. Hrm...is he an anarch? From what I know of his dungeon, that might seem to be the case," Ithea muses outloud as she ponders the name.
[02:53] <Kotono> "It is possible," Gisfal nods, "I can't confirm it, but slaad in any case possess an ability to control Limbo. A few centuries ago, I crossed paths with him when he came into Ysgard. We got along well enough and he made me an offer." Taking out a six sided....thing...from his pocket and placing it on the table before you, "This token will take three people to his dungeon to compete for fantastic
[02:53] <Kotono> riches and treasure." The object looks like an iron pentagram, but it twists 'round and shifts as you watch it, as if shifting between angles and geometry. "He said I could use it, or give it to worthy heroes who wanted to risk much to gain much."
[02:56] <Ithea> "Sounds intriguing," Ithea says. "You think it's an honest offer? Has anyone actually ever escaped with riches from it?"
[02:57] <Kotono> "There are stories of that," Gisfal agrees, "Dralicus insisted that it was so when we discussed it, as much as you can keep a slaad on topic. "
[03:00] * Ithea laughs. "Well, I'm in. Who else would come? Any of the other generals? I suppose it'd get interesting if Baleruk joined in too, have three anarchs in the same area all fighting for control..." Ithea comments.
[03:01] <Kotono> "That's up to you. You'll be the commanding officer in this, if you accept," Gisfal says, "Form a team that can function well together and handle anything."
[03:06] <Ithea> "Hrm...I'll have to see if either Afina or Jaela is interested. If Afina is, I'll take Baleruk along, she seems to have the best handle on keeping him focused, and having an extra anarch card to play could save us in a tough spot," Ithea comments.
[03:09] <Kotono> "Take this, then," Gisfal pushes the object towards Ithea, "When you're ready to use it, lie it on the ground, link hands and smash it with your foot."
[03:13] <Ithea> "Alright, I will," Ithea says, grasping the object and placing it in a pocket for the time being, before calling Elena.
[03:13] <Kotono> Elena immediately appears, dressed up in a military uniform. Gleaming medals shine on her chest, as she salutes, "Yes General?"
[03:15] <Kotono> Morniel chuckles at that, but otherwise holds his opinion to himself.
[03:15] <Ithea> "Heya..." Ithea greets, eyeing the number of pips that signify the 'rank' of Elena's uniform before continuing, playing along with the uniform, giving a short salute back as she continues, "...Lieutenant Elena. Do you know where I can find Jaela and/or Afina?"
[03:17] <Kotono> More pips than ranks. By this Elena would be a super-major admiral general or something crazy. "They're both out. Afina's at the Cauldron investigation her new condition, while Jaela and Hanna went ot the Court of the Stars on diplomacy."
[03:19] <Ithea> "Do you know when either is expected to be due back?" Ithea asks.
[03:19] <Kotono> "Afriad not," Elena replies, "Sorry!"
[03:24] <Ithea> "Hrm...I don't particularly want to deal with Baleruk on my own, and I suppose I can just handle this with some of the others instead," Ithea says making a thoughtful face as she considers grabbing both Sylvie and Stille instead. "What about Sylvie, is she around?"
[03:25] <Kotono> "She's on the roof," Elena replies, "Her and Balyss are practicing up there - combat reading."
[03:28] <Ithea> "...combat reading?" Ithea muses, as she heads for the roof to see this. Part of her ponders grabbing Balyss instead of Stille for that matter now. Eh, she'll ask.
[03:29] <Kotono> Up to the roof you go! Here Balyss flies about, swinging her mace at Sylvie! Sylvie has her nose deep in a book, trying to dodge as best she can while reading! She narrates aloud, "...and Sir Worthington drew his shining blade and blew his gleaming trump-OW!" Sylvie winces as Balyss scores a hit to her side, the winged aasimar fiercely grinning, "Got you that time!"
[03:31] <Ithea> "Ah, so -that's- combat reading. When do you two switch roles?" Ithea asks with an amused look.
[03:32] <Kotono> "Every ten minutes," Balyss replies as Sylvie rubs her side. "Really, it's concentration focus and learning to react when you're distracted. Move without thinking, dodge without realizing."
[03:37] <Ithea> "Right, well, do either of you feel up for an actual adventure instead? Gisfal gave me a little ticket to a fun park by a crazy slaad. Promises to be filled with oodles of both treasure and danger," Ithea says as she pulls out the 'die' she was given and waves it around for the two Balmurians to see.
[03:46] <Kotono> "Death defying treasure seeking?" Suddenly Sylvie smiles, "Say Balyss, you heard the stories about that time with the dragon and the sahuagin monks?"
[03:47] <Kotono> "Yeah," Balyss says, "Heard it was a good time and a rewarding time. "But before we go off, let me make an augury about it to seek Selune's guidance."
[03:51] <Ithea> "You seen the painting she got out of there, Balyss?" Ithea asks with an amused smile.
[03:51] <Kotono> Balyss giggles, "No, but Anna told me about it," As Sylvie turns a rather bright red, "It's art! Really, it's art. I'm sure it is."
[03:52] <Ithea> "Right. Art," Ithea says with a solemn nod.
[03:53] <Kotono> "It has sentimental value," Sylvie huffs, muttering. As she grumps over that, Balyss laughs, "C'mon," Taking to the air, "Let's go see what Selune thinks of the idea and how she'd like to guide us."
[03:54] * Ithea nods.
[03:57] <Kotono> From there you head to the altar of Selune. Some chanting and casting leads Balyss to kneeling before the altar, focused. At last she arises, "Selune has spoken!" she announces, "I quote, 'The aegis of madness bears both the desire of dragons and the promises of Mammon.'"
[04:00] <Ithea> "...That's actually more vague than 27's usual," Ithea says with a raised eyebrow.
[04:01] <Kotono> "Selune speaks in rhyme and omen. It's all about answering it," Balyss explains, "Okay, so a crazy slaad is running this. I'd say that's the aegis of madness. He bears both the desire of dragons and the promises of Mammon. What do dragons desire?"
[04:02] <Ithea> "Power, gold, and hot dragon chicks according to Sylvie," Ithea answers readily.
[04:04] <Kotono> "Right, power, gold and hot catfolk," Sylvie retorts, "But the most common one is wealth, and the bit about Mammon makes me think of treasure too. He's the Lord of the Nine who deals with greed."
[04:05] <Ithea> "I've never had a dragon hit on me. Baleruk actually tried to chew me and dip me in acid the first time we met," Ithea comments.
[04:06] <Kotono> "Kinky," Sylvie murmurs, "Still, I think the gist of this is that there's treasure to be had. I'll empty out all my non-essential things from my bag of holding so we'll have plenty of space to take things."
[04:06] <Ithea> "So are you both up for it then?"
[04:07] <Kotono> "Selune didn't tell me no," Balyss says, "I think I am."
[04:07] <Kotono> "I can't let you go alone," Sylvie says, "Besides, I feel like I'm cooped up in here. I could use something to really fight against."
[04:10] <Ithea> "Alright then. Sylvie, since you're going to empty out your bag, shall we just meet again here in say...10 minutes?" Ithea suggests. "I'll go say bye to people, let others know the three of us are going out."
[04:11] <Kotono> "Right," She says, as...OOC: Any prep, purchases or supplying?
[04:13] <Ithea> ooc: No purchases, I should still have GMW.
[04:13] <Ithea> ooc: So I'm good to go
[04:15] <Kotono> Thus ten minutes later the trio is gathered at the gates of Aurora. Both are dressed for battle, awaiting Ithea's command!
[04:17] <Ithea> "Alright, let's grab hands, then I stomp on this and off we go," Ithea directs, waiting for one of them to grab one of her hands and the other to grab onto that person, before slamming the six-sided thing into the ground and stomping on it.
[04:17] <Kotono> Woosh! In that instant you vanish, moved to another place! OOC: More.
[04:18] <Kotono> Around you lies a great circular room, at least a hundred feet from one wall to another. The walls are  of cold, plain looking stone, faintly damp. The scent of moss fills your noses as you look about. The  floor is covered with bones and skeletons of all types, as if a cemetery dumped its wards here.
[04:18] <Kotono> To the left and ahead are dark archways, leading further along. Light comes from torches hanging on the walls all over, emitting no smoke or foulness.
[04:23] * Ithea casts Detect Magic immediately, eyeing around their surroundings and also getting a sense for the feel of the place, whether it feels like Limbo itself (without actually trying to change anything though), or more of a demiplane that she wouldn't be able to touch.
[04:25] <Kotono> Balyss peers around, mace held at the ready. Ithea looks about - oh, there's magic! But she scarcely has time to reckon it! Around you, the dead rise! Dozens lf skeletons rise up all around you! Humanoids skeletons with rusty weapons and armor, canine skeletons with teeth bared, a giant skeleton that looms over the others, and even the skeleton of what looks to be some sort of crawling,
[04:25] <Kotono> legless...thing! They all rise, coming towards you! Sylvie slips into a fighting stance, one fists out, "Guess this is our warm welcome!" OOC: Init.

[04:25] <Ithea> roll d20+17
[04:25] * Hatbot --> "Ithea rolls d20+17 and gets 18." [d20=1]
[04:25] <Kotono> roll 1d20+3 Balyss
[04:25] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+3 Balyss and gets 23." [1d20=20]
[04:25] <Kotono> roll 1d20+17 Ithea
[04:25] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+17 Ithea and gets 31." [1d20=14]
[04:26] <Kotono> OOC: Er, Sylvie.
[04:26] <Kotono> roll 1d20+4 skeleton swarm
[04:26] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+4 skeleton swarm and gets 22." [1d20=18]
[04:26] * Kotono changes topic to 'Sylvie(31)>Balyss(23)>Skeleton Swarm(22)>Ithea(18)'
[04:28] <Kotono> Withdrawing a wooden holy symbol of a book, Sylvie calls out, "Great light of Oghma's reading lamps, purge the lies of false life!" A burst of life-energy explodes out from around her, healing your non-existant wounds and plummeling the undead!
[04:28] <Kotono> roll 8d6
[04:28] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 8d6 and gets 33." [8d6=1, 4, 4, 1, 6, 5, 6, 6]
[04:29] <Kotono> roll 1d20+10 will
[04:29] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+10 will and gets 15." [1d20=5]
[04:30] <Kotono> Several of the skeletons shudder and explode out, crumbling to naught but dust! Several more remain as Balyss holds her own holy symbol! "Selune, show what true training and faith can do against the living dead! Shine down your holy light on them all!"
[04:30] <Kotono> roll 8d6*1.5
[04:30] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 8d6*1.5 and gets 48." [8d6=3, 4, 6, 5, 5, 2, 3, 4]
[04:30] <Kotono> roll 1d20+19
[04:30] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+19 and gets 35." [1d20=16]
[04:31] <Kotono> OOC: -9 for a total of 26.
[04:31] <Kotono> Yet more of the undead shatter, the swarm crumbling under the assault! Only a few remain, descending on the heroes swiftly, clawing and biting with fleshless grasps and mouths!
[04:31] <Kotono> roll 1d20+15 AC all
[04:31] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+15 AC all and gets 32." [1d20=17]
[04:32] <Kotono> OOC: Missed both of them. What's your AC, Ithea?
[04:32] <Ithea> ooc: 42 flat-footed
[04:33] <Kotono> Amid this, the three women dodge! Ithea parries away with her glaive, keeping the remaining undead at bay! Sylvie weaves around them deftly, while bites and claws glance of Balyss's heavy armor! OOC: Ithea, go.
[04:34] * Kotono changes topic to 'Sylvie(31,9/10 inspiration )>Balyss(23)>Skeleton Swarm(22)>Ithea(18)'
[04:40] * Ithea focuses on the swarm and lets loose a magically powered scream as she attempts to shatter the remainder of the swarm if she can get them all in the burst, if not as many of them as she can.
[04:40] <Ithea> roll 5d6 sonic, dc 21 fort for half
[04:40] * Hatbot --> "Ithea rolls 5d6 sonic, dc 21 fort for half and gets 15." [5d6=1, 5, 5, 3, 1]
[04:40] <Kotono> OOC: How isthat, a cone?
[04:40] <Ithea> ooc: yes
[04:40] <Kotono> roll 1d20+5 fort
[04:40] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+5 fort and gets 12." [1d20=7]
[04:41] <Kotono> Under that final scream, the remaining skeletons crumble to ruin! OOC: Free act.

[04:41] <Kotono> "Barely a warm up," Sylvie cracks her neck, nudging the bones beneath her foot. "Want to go looking through this to see if anything valuable is mixed in?"
[04:42] <Kotono> Balyss makes a face, "These bones need to be put to rest, not ransacked. Unfortunately, we don't have an altar or a place to bury them right now."
[04:44] <Ithea> "Well, given the reputation of this place, I'd rather ransack them anyway, since that's the whole point. That said, since we can't bury them, burn them to ashes and take the ashes with us, maybe?" Ithea suggests to try to appease Balyss' desire to do good for the poor dead.
[04:44] <Kotono> At that Sylvie kneels down and starts to search, "Too bad Simmer's not here," she adds.
[04:44] <Kotono> roll 1d20+12
[04:44] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+12 and gets 18." [1d20=6]
[04:45] <Ithea> "I would have offered her a spot, but Gisfal said the invite ticket was for three only and I didn't want to sit out," Ithea comments.
[04:45] <Kotono> "Got some oil or anything to light them ablaze?" Balyss meanwhile asks, as Sylvie makes a little nose, "Found something!"
[04:49] <Ithea> "I've got some lightning," Ithea offers. "We can put them all together in a pile and I can try to zap and vaporize it...not as efficient as a good fire would be though."
[04:49] <Kotono> Balyss nods as Sylvie holds her find up. It looks like a silver brooch and a coin bag, the latter jingling as it's held. She tucks them into her bag of holding, "There's na awful lot of bones. It'll take some time and make a bunch of noise ot make a heap out of them.e"
[04:52] <Kotono> "It's the right thing to do," Balyss hangs her mace on her belt, "Let's get to it."
[04:53] <Ithea> "If our host for this weren't known as 'the Demented', I'd suggest asking for a respite for the poor souls as part of our reward, but since that -is- the case..." Ithea notes as she starts helping Balyss. "Don't worry, I'm sure I'll hear anything dumb enough that tries to sneak up on us with all the noise."
[04:54] <Kotono> With that, Sylvie settles into help as well! (More)
[04:54] <Kotono> roll 2d100
[04:54] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 2d100 and gets 68." [2d100=17, 51]
[04:54] <Kotono> OOC: Make a spot check, Ithea.
[04:56] <Ithea> roll d20+42
[04:56] * Hatbot --> "Ithea rolls d20+42 and gets 55." [d20=13]
[04:57] <Kotono> As you move a pile of bones, you catch sight of a golden ring on the finger of a broken hand.
[04:58] <Ithea> "Sylvie, I think you missed something while searching the bones," Ithea comments as she moves to grab the ring, separating it from the hand and tossing the bones into the pile with the rest and the ring towards Sylvie to put in the bag.
[05:00] <Kotono> Sylvie catches it and takes a glance, "Real gold," she says approvingly, "It's not cut like a typical wedding ring, but who knows?" Bagging it away, "Good catch."
[05:01] <Ithea> "See? The dead approve of us giving them some last rites," Ithea says with a grin.
[05:02] * Ithea continues forming the pile until they have it big enough to zap it good so they can move on.
[05:02] <Kotono> It takes a good half hour of work, but the bones are in a big, tall heap now.
[05:07] <Ithea> "Alright, I'm just going to zap it with a shocking grasp," Ithea says as she motions for them to move back before zapping the pile.
[05:07] <Ithea> roll 1.5*5d6
[05:07] * Hatbot --> "Ithea rolls 1.5*5d6 and gets 25.5." [5d6=5, 2, 6, 2, 2]
[05:09] <Kotono> Lightning crackles through the pile, andthe old bones smoulder and char! Fire begins to burn in the aftermath, spreading sluggishly! Thick, black and foul smoke begins to spread, befouling the large room you are in. Sylvie holds a hand to her mouth, waving the other one in front of her face, "Urgh!" Balyss coughs into her hand, "Let's get moving before the smoke gets to us."
[05:09] * Ithea nods, leading the way onward.
[05:10] <Kotono> OOC: Which passage. One to the left(Presumably west) and one ahead (Presumably north).
[05:10] <Ithea> ooc: Left!
[05:13] <Kotono> As you approach the left arch, torches within it come to life! The passage is 10ft ahead of you and 30ft long/15ft wide. At the end is a shut door, and flanking the door are two stone statues, human sized. They are engraved to look like warriors and even hold heavy crossbows in hand...which as the lights come on, they begin to raise and point at the party! Balyss hefts her mace, "Watch out!"
[05:13] <Kotono> OOC: Init again, the native population seems notably hostile.

[05:13] <Kotono> roll 1d20+3 Balyss
[05:13] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+3 Balyss and gets 4." [1d20=1]
[05:13] <Kotono> roll 1d20+17 Ithea
[05:13] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+17 Ithea and gets 20." [1d20=3]
[05:13] <Kotono> OOC: Er, Sylvie.

[05:13] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+5 statue 1 and gets 22." [1d20=17]
[05:13] <Kotono> roll 1d20+5 statue 2
[05:13] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+5 statue 2 and gets 15." [1d20=10]

[05:14] <Kotono> OOC: Open, Sylvie.
[05:14] <Kotono> OOC: ITHEA. ARgh.
[05:14] <Ithea> ooc: You need help, man =p
[05:15] * Ithea ponders using her favorite teleport trick, but decides a pair of statues don't warrant it, as she charges for the one on the left side and slams her glaive into its chest.
[05:15] <Kotono> OOC: Hold there.
[05:16] <Ithea> ooc: Holding there.
[05:16] <Kotono> As Ithea reaches 10ft and into the corridor proper, abruptly winds begin to blow! A powerful headwind slams into Ithea! OOC: Str check. +2 since you're charging in.
[05:16] <Ithea> roll d20+18
[05:16] * Hatbot --> "Ithea rolls d20+18 and gets 28." [d20=10]
[05:17] <Kotono> OOC: Str check? +16 str?
[05:17] <Kotono> OOC: Oh right, brain over brawn.
[05:17] <Kotono> OOC: Carry on.
[05:17] <Ithea> ooc: +1 to that actually, I used +6 int instead of +7
[05:17] * Ithea charges even in the face of the wind and reaches her target!
[05:17] <Ithea> roll d20+34+2-5 (PA-5)
[05:17] * Hatbot --> "Ithea rolls d20+34+2-5 (PA-5) and gets 41." [d20=10]
[05:18] <Kotono> OOC: That be a hit. Damage.
[05:18] <Ithea> roll d10+30
[05:18] * Hatbot --> "Ithea rolls d10+30 and gets 39." [d10=9]
[05:18] <Kotono> The left statue now has a huge gouge in its side! Ithea manages to hold her ground despite the oppressive wind blowing at her! A second later the statue aims its crossbow at her and...OOC: This provokes an AoO.
[05:19] * Ithea takes the offered opening and jabs!
[05:19] <Ithea> ooc: does the charge bonus still apply?
[05:19] <Kotono> OOC: No, just a normal attack roll.
[05:20] <Ithea> roll d20+34+4-5 (I imagine power attack does still apply though, otherwise add that back)
[05:20] * Hatbot --> "Ithea rolls d20+34+4-5 (I imagine power attack does still apply though, otherwise add that back) and gets 34." [d20=1]
[05:20] <Kotono> OOC: PA still applies, as does HATEBOT.
[05:20] <Ithea> ooc: yeah, no kidding
[05:20] <Kotono> As Ithea brings her glaive up, the wind is too much! It disrupts her shot, as the arrow-bolt explodes out like a wind guided missile at her, point blank!
[05:20] <Kotono> roll 1d20+18 (+5 wind) AC?
[05:20] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+18 (+5 wind) AC? and gets 20." [1d20=2]
[05:21] <Ithea> ooc: AC 40 after charge, anyway.
[05:21] <Kotono> But it bounces right off her breastplate, falling at her feet with a dented head! A moment later Sylvie is racing after Ithea, going after ther other statue with a kiai shout and flying kick, even as she struggles against the wind!
[05:21] <Kotono> roll 1d20+13 str check
[05:21] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+13 str check and gets 30." [1d20=17]
[05:22] <Kotono> roll 1d20+34 (+2 charge)
[05:22] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+34 (+2 charge) and gets 51." [1d20=17]
[05:22] <Kotono> roll 3d10+23
[05:22] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 3d10+23 and gets 39." [3d10=3, 7, 6]
[05:23] <Kotono> Her kick hits the golem right in the chest, sending cracks down its entire front! A moment later its own arrow-bolt rips out, right for Sylvie!
[05:23] <Ithea> ooc: I'll use opportunist to attack that golem
[05:23] <Kotono> roll 1d20+18 (+5 wind)
[05:23] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+18 (+5 wind) and gets 31." [1d20=13]
[05:23] <Kotono> OOC: Go for it.
[05:23] <Ithea> Even as an arrow gets shot at Sylvie, Ithea attempts to smack the other golem!
[05:23] <Ithea> roll d20+34+4-5
[05:23] * Hatbot --> "Ithea rolls d20+34+4-5 and gets 34." [d20=1]
[05:24] <Ithea> ooc: ...
[05:24] <Kotono> Ithea strikes, a moment too slow! Instead her glaive hits the arrow-bolt, shattering it but missing the golem! OOC: Okay, Balyss is up.
[05:26] <Ithea> ooc: That was a pretty decent result for a 1, all things considered.
[05:28] <Kotono> Balyss hangs back, chanting, "Selune, protect them all!" A protective light surrounds you and Sylvie, shielding you from harm! OOC: +1 morale to AC from divine protection. Ithea, go.
[05:29] * Ithea splits her attacks between the two golems, channeling a small burst of magic through her attacks. (ooc: AS 2)
[05:29] <Kotono> OOC: Noted.
[05:30] <Ithea> roll d20+34+2-4 (PA4) Golem 1
[05:30] * Hatbot --> "Ithea rolls d20+34+2-4 (PA4) Golem 1 and gets 36." [d20=4]
[05:30] <Ithea> roll d20+29+2-4 (PA4) Golem 2
[05:30] * Hatbot --> "Ithea rolls d20+29+2-4 (PA4) Golem 2 and gets 33." [d20=6]
[05:30] <Ithea> roll d20+24+2-4 (PA4) Golem 1
[05:30] * Hatbot --> "Ithea rolls d20+24+2-4 (PA4) Golem 1 and gets 25." [d20=3]
[05:30] <Ithea> roll d20+19+2-4 (PA4) Golem 2
[05:30] * Hatbot --> "Ithea rolls d20+19+2-4 (PA4) Golem 2 and gets 32." [d20=15]
[05:30] <Kotono> OOC: Three hits.
[05:31] <Ithea> roll d10+28+2d4 Golem 1
[05:31] * Hatbot --> "Ithea rolls d10+28+2d4 Golem 1 and gets 39." [d10=8][2d4=2, 1]
[05:31] <Ithea> roll 2d10+56+4d4 Golem 2
[05:31] * Hatbot --> "Ithea rolls 2d10+56+4d4 Golem 2 and gets 80." [2d10=6, 10][4d4=2, 2, 1, 3]
[05:31] <Kotono> Under Ithea striking with power and magic, the two golems are cut apart, crumbling into hunks of stone! The crossbows fall to the ground, as the wind ceases! OOC: Free act.

[05:32] <Kotono> "That's how you do it," Sylvie turns to Ithea, smiling a bit as she goes to pick up a crossbow. "See the wind, out-think it instead of powering through. Anyway, pass me the other crossbow? They aren't shoddily made, so they'll be worth a bit."
[05:32] <Ithea> "Hrm...did the wind come from the crossbows?" Ithea wonders as she leans down to grab the closest crossbow, giving it a brief examination before passing it on to Sylvie.
[05:33] <Kotono> Balyss walks on up, nudging the nearest golem with her foot. "Not particularly powerful animates," she adds, "But the wind was a good trick. Knock you back, hit you with a wind sped crossbow bolt."
[05:33] <Kotono> "Don't know," Sylvie admits as both go into the bag, "If they did, they'll be worth a lot more."
[05:34] * Ithea gives a brief search through the remains of the golems for anything extra before attempting to open the door.
[05:34] <Kotono> OOC: Search check.
[05:34] <Ithea> roll d20+7 I search like a champ... >_>
[05:35] * Hatbot --> "Ithea rolls d20+7 I search like a champ... >_> and gets 8." [d20=1]
[05:35] <Ithea> ooc: Yup. A champ.
[05:35] <Kotono> Ithea finds nothing of note, except....oooh! A mouse darts under fromt he collapsed golem, as she has to fight back a momentary urge to pounce.
[05:37] * Ithea resists the urge, blaming Sharess influence for the brief urge (what little influence she's exerted anyway), and goes open the door. Knowing Sylvie, she'll probably find something and mention that she missed something for the earlier ring while she examines the next room.
[05:38] <Kotono> The next room is a 10ft wide cylender. Going down 10ft one is able to see a spiked floor, full of footlong spikes, nestled close together. Lying amid them is a skeleton, hand reaching out for a golen crown that rests amid the spikes. 20ft above, on the opposite side of the cylender, is a small platform with another door. 10ft above that is a roof, with lots and lots of sharp, pointy spikes on
[05:38] <Kotono> it. A howling wind blows in the cylinder, gusting upwards heartily.
[05:41] <Ithea> ooc: Can I reach the crown with 15ft reach and hook on glaive?
[05:42] <Kotono> OOC: Yes, if you're willing to stick it out.
[05:43] <Kotono> Balyss whistles, "I'd hate to go flying in that upbreeze," she says, "Don't ask unless I have really well secured rope that holds me back. That would probably send me right into those spikes."
[05:44] <Kotono> "Right, so we'll out-think it," Sylvie looks up, "The right amount of rope should get you close enough without risking impalement above. At worst you'd get slammed into the wall if you miss, but that's far better than the alternative. Now about that crown...Ithea, how far can your glaive reach?"
[05:45] <Ithea> "I can teleport us to the next room, unless there's some magic preventing that, though I want to try to go for the crown...and I think I can reach it as is. I can extend my reach briefly to 25ft if needed, long enough to hook it if I need the extra reach," Ithea replies.
[05:46] <Kotono> "Go for it," Sylvie says, "If it's trapped you should be safe, and if not that crown's got to be worth at least a few thousand gold," Pointing, "I can see the filigree work from here."
[05:47] * Ithea nods, as she tightens her grip on her weapon, holding the blade so the edge points down, minimizing the surface, and then sticks it forward while she stays near the entrance with the other two, attempting to hook and grab the crown.
[05:47] <Kotono> The winds tear at Ithea's glaive as she tries the tricky stunt, pulling with considerable power! OOC: Str check.
[05:48] <Ithea> roll d20+17
[05:48] * Hatbot --> "Ithea rolls d20+17 and gets 34." [d20=17]
[05:48] <Kotono> As they watch, "Where'd you pick up turning?" Balyss asks, "You turned those undead like a master priest." Meanwhile Ithea is able to keep the glaive down and in her grasp, as she angles for the crown! OOC: Attack roll.
[05:49] <Kotono> "I watched you a few times, practiced and figured it out," Sylvie replies as she watches Ithea's fine glaive manuevers. "Call on the right names, the syllables to channel life and the names of the right deity and there you go. C'mon, Ithea," She breathes after.
[05:51] <Ithea> roll d20+34+7 (ooc: using inspiration)
[05:51] * Hatbot --> "Ithea rolls d20+34+7 (ooc: using inspiration) and gets 42." [d20=1]
[05:51] <Ithea> ooc: ...
[05:52] <Kotono> "A few times?!" Balyss blurts, "Sylvie, it takes years for an acolyte to learn how to turn the walking dead!" Meanwhile Ithea pokes out, but can't quite hook it! The winds continue to blow at her grip! OOC: Str check.
[05:52] <Ithea> "That's Sylvie for you," Ithea mutters. "Now shush, trying to hook the pretty crown..."
[05:53] <Ithea> roll d20+17
[05:53] * Hatbot --> "Ithea rolls d20+17 and gets 30." [d20=13]
[05:53] <Kotono> "Shh!" Sylvie murmurs, still watching, "Getting closer, just a little more," she encourages, keeping her voice down. Meanwhile Ithea keeps her grasp on her glaive, despite the winds pulling on it! She holds her grip, able ot take another attempt! OOC: Attack roll.
[05:53] <Ithea> roll d20+34+7 (inspiration again, hopefully better)
[05:53] * Hatbot --> "Ithea rolls d20+34+7 (inspiration again, hopefully better) and gets 56." [d20=15]
[05:54] <Kotono> This time Ithea gets the crown but good, holding it in place on the glaive's hook, sliding down it! "Got it!" Sylvie calls, "Get it in!" After a moment, "I'm a fast learner," she murmurs, "I should tell you about that one singing girl sometime."
[05:55] <Ithea> "Right, ready to see if teleportation works?" Ithea asks once she's got the crown safely in their reach and in Sylvie's hands.
[05:55] <Kotono> OOC: One more str check as you pull it in.
[05:55] <Ithea> roll d20+17
[05:55] * Hatbot --> "Ithea rolls d20+17 and gets 33." [d20=16]
[05:55] <Kotono> With one final, deft move Ithea pulls the glaive safely back in, crown retreived! Sylvie takes it and puts it away, "Let's try. Aiming for inside or outside the door?"
[05:59] * Ithea eyes the platform again. "Hrm...think we can all fit on that without risk of getting sent flying?" Ithea asks as she does her own mental calculations.
[06:01] <Kotono> The platform is large enough for the three of you. As you look, you can notice that the wind seems to buffer against the bottom of it, blocked by the platform and shielding those on it.
[06:03] <Ithea> "Hrm...I'm going to try to teleport there on my own, open the door and see what's that way. If it looks like we can keep going, I'll teleport you guys to me, otherwise I'll just teleport back here," Ithea decides, figuring that's the safest option. No sooner has she finished saying so that she attempts a dimension hop that should result in her reappearing next to the door.
[06:05] <Kotono> In an instant, Ithea appears on the ledge! Winds howl around her, but her feet stay safely planted! The door is a plain iron one - nothing interesting about it at all. OOC: Spot check.
[06:06] <Ithea> roll d20+42
[06:06] * Hatbot --> "Ithea rolls d20+42 and gets 55." [d20=13]
[06:06] <Kotono> Ithea notices a clear fluid seeping out from the edges and hinges of the door.
[06:07] * Ithea moves closer and attempts to examine the fluid, hopefully identifying it, though she still keeps a small amount of distance from the door.
[06:08] <Kotono> OOC: K:N check.
[06:09] <Ithea> roll d20+27
[06:09] * Hatbot --> "Ithea rolls d20+27 and gets 39." [d20=12]
[06:09] <Kotono> It looks to be saliva of some type. You can't identify it more than that. But as you get closer, you can feel something. A faint suction towards the door, a subtle sensation. You can also notice the saliva doesn't drip down or out - if anything you notice is undulates backwards, as if constantly being sucked back.

[Corwin]

[03:04] * Ithea frowns, and prepares to teleport back down depending on what happens next, as she reaches for the door, attempting to open it.
[03:05] <Kotono> The door opens! Inside is a hellish hall of pulsing pink flesh riddled with sharp, humanlike teeth! A pulsing passage, barely glimpsed as a tremendous suction hits, trying to suck everything inward! OOC: Concentration check to see if you can get the spell off, Ithea. This is a pretty big disruption.
[03:07] <Ithea> roll d20+22+3 (+CK)
[03:07] * Hatbot --> "Ithea rolls d20+22+3 (+CK) and gets 28." [d20=3]
[03:08] <Kotono> But the suction is too much, the spell disrupted, fizzled and wasted! It's just a fight to resist being sucked in! OOC: Reflex save.
[03:08] <Ithea> roll d20+25+6 (inspiration again!)
[03:08] * Hatbot --> "Ithea rolls d20+25+6 (inspiration again!) and gets 45." [d20=14]
[03:09] <Kotono> Through a burst of pure inspiration, Ithea is able to see how the sunction flows, finding a gap between it! She whirls through it, kicking off the thrown open door and back, buying herself time! OOC: You have a round's actions, go. Note the sunction makes spellcasting difficult and requires concentration.
[03:10] <Kotono> *Suction. Gah.
[03:10] * Ithea attempts to teleport again! (OOC: If I fail, I'll use quick cast to try and get a second teleport attempt as well)
[03:10] <Kotono> OOC: Okay. Concentration.
[03:10] <Ithea> roll d20+22
[03:10] * Hatbot --> "Ithea rolls d20+22 and gets 34." [d20=12]
[03:11] <Kotono> OOC: Where ar eyou teleporting to?
[03:11] <Ithea> ooc: back down to behind Sylvie and Balyss
[03:11] <Kotono> In an instant the suction ceases to pull Ithea! A moment later she realizes her spell was successful, returning her to behind Sylvie and Balyss! Said women are at the edge of the door, staring up! "Ithea!" Sylvie calls up, "Ithea!"
[03:11] <Ithea> "Okay, we're trying the other way," Ithea says flatly.
[03:12] <Kotono> "Ithea!" Both women say at once, turning 'round! Balyss sees that look and holds up her hands, "Woah, wait a minute. What in Selune's glory was up there?"
[03:12] <Ithea> ooc: any knowledge check to recognize the thing now that I have time to think?
[03:13] <Kotono> Based on her previous check, Ithea can now identify it as a twisted and mutated human styled mouth. It's simply not something that is natural.
[03:15] <Ithea> "Nothing natural. It was this...huge mouth just trying to suck me in," Ithea answers, pushing her frazzled hair back after dealing with that suction.
[03:17] <Kotono> Sylvie visibly shivers, "I'll second Ithea. Let's go take that other passage!" She takes off quickly!
[03:17] * Ithea raises an eyebrow at the quick reaction. "Any story behind that, Balyss?" Ithea asks as she turns to follow Sylvie, if a bit more slowly until Balyss starts moving as well.
[03:21] <Kotono> "None that I know," Balyss replies as you follow, back to the now smoky and burnt boneyard. It is quite unpleasant here, no wind to force anything back. Sylvie's just before the next passage, torches having lit up ahead. The passage continues for 15ft, until breaks open into a chasm. A 20ft wide chasm, witha simple rope and wood bridge over it.
[03:21] <Kotono> Sylvie effortlessly takes to the air, lifting up off the ground, "Let's just fly over it."
[03:26] * Ithea just nods at the suggestion as she channels a bit of magic into her glaive, transforming the weapon as she grips tightly onto it and floats on, towards the other side.
[03:28] <Kotono> Thus the three fly over! The other side goes ahead 10ft, before coming to aturn to the right.
[03:30] * Ithea continues on and peeks across the corner to see if anything's waiting before making a full turn to the right.
[03:30] <Kotono> Ahead the passage opens up into another circular room. This one is smaller, and you can see what looks to be full sized mirrors hanging on the walls.
[03:33] <Ithea> Given the only other option was a room with a mutant mouth, Ithea heads towards the circular room, observing the mirrors from outside, also looking up and to the sides, checking to see if there's anything else to be seen in the room once she's by the entrance to it.
[03:36] <Kotono> As the other two follow along, "Too bad Aaeru's not here," Balyss murmurs, getting a curious look from Sylvie. "The last time something tried swallowing her whole, she kicked her way out and just about killed the thing." Ahead you come in from the west. On each of te other seven compass pounts is a full body mirror, hazy and indistinct reflections. On the floor in the center of the floor is an
[03:36] <Kotono> engraven image, of a single humanoid body. Beneath ti in simple common is 'Self'.
[03:39] <Kotono> Sylvie walks up to the inscription, kneeling and studying it. "Mirrors, an image of a body and self. I can sort of grasp the theme, anyone have an idea of what to make of it?"
[03:40] <Ithea> "I could probably do that with less kicking and more slashing, but...who wants to deal with all that saliva?" Ithea says, making a face, even as Sylvie reads.
[03:41] <Kotono> "Beats being eaten," Balyss observes, "That worm was out for blood. We'd been clearing out a Frost Worm infestation, and one of them ate Aaeru whole. It worked well - they were harder to kill from the outside."
[03:43] <Ithea> "I guess, though I'm still happy just skipping past dealing with that thing," Ithea murmurs as she ponders the room.
[03:45] <Ithea> "Do we maybe stand on top of the image and stare into each mirror?" Ithea gives the first idea that pops into her head.
[03:55] <Kotono> "Maybe, but it doesn't sound right," Sylvie says, "Try it and see if the mirrors clear up?"
[03:57] * Ithea dutifully moves to the center and tries to look at the mirror to the left of the entrance.
[03:57] <Kotono> Ithea does so. She sees a mirror, reflections in it a hazy, indistinct blur.
[03:58] * Ithea looks over at the other mirrors in turn to see if they're still hazy too.
[03:59] <Kotono> All the other mirrors are still hazy.
[03:59] <Kotono> "Maybe the mirrors need to be polished?" Balyss says after some thought, "I know that my mirror at home gets all blurry if it gets hand oils or anything like that on it."
[04:00] <Kotono> OOC: LIsten check.
[04:00] <Kotono> roll 1d20+3 Sylvie listen
[04:00] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+3 Sylvie listen and gets 12." [1d20=9]
[04:00] <Kotono> roll 1d20+11 Balyss listen
[04:00] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+11 Balyss listen and gets 19." [1d20=8]
[04:01] <Ithea> roll d20+42
[04:01] * Hatbot --> "Ithea rolls d20+42 and gets 62." [d20=20]
[04:02] <Kotono> Ithea can hear a soft swishing of air and faint clitter-clattering of something dry and hard hitting together from the way you came.
[04:04] <Ithea> "Girls? I think I hear something coming from the way we came. You may want to move away from the entrance until we know what's coming," Ithea warns the other tw.
[04:05] <Kotono> Sylvie springs away in a tense leap, whirling around in midair! Balyss settles for silently clanking back and turning 'round, shield and mace up! Coming thew ay you came, around the corner? It is a loose, human shaped cloud of ash, smoke and blackened bone! A steady clitter-clack is heard as it approaches, Sylvie groaning, "Great idea, burning the bones!"
[04:05] <Kotono> "This just means there's more souls to put to rest," Balyss says without a hint of perterbment. "Let's put whatever tormented soul is manifesting this to peace!"
[04:09] <Ithea> "I'm concerned what brought them back to unlife...the slaad maybe?" Ithea says with a frown.
[04:10] <Kotono> OOC: Roll init.

[04:10] <Ithea> roll d20+17 init
[04:10] * Hatbot --> "Ithea rolls d20+17 init and gets 25." [d20=8]
[04:10] <Kotono> roll 1d20+17 Sylvie
[04:10] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+17 Sylvie and gets 29." [1d20=12]
[04:10] <Kotono> roll 1d20+3 Balyss
[04:10] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+3 Balyss and gets 16." [1d20=13]
[04:10] <Kotono> roll 1d20+1 giant bone and smoke golem
[04:10] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+1 giant bone and smoke golem and gets 17." [1d20=16]
[04:11] * Kotono changes topic to 'Sylvie(29)>Ithea(25)>Golem(17)>Balyss(16)'
[04:11] <Kotono> Sylvie immediately whirls, "How was it...right! Got it!" In a burst of inspiration, she draws arcane patterns in the air! A gushing cone of cold comes out from her, engulfing the golem!
[04:11] <Kotono> roll 1d20+7 reflex
[04:12] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+7 reflex and gets 20." [1d20=13]
[04:12] <Kotono> roll 15d6 ow
[04:12] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 15d6 ow and gets 64." [15d6=4, 4, 6, 5, 6, 1, 5, 3, 3, 6, 4, 6, 1, 5, 5]
[04:13] <Kotono> Freezing cold batters the bones and causes ice to join the hovering smoke! Several bones grow heavy with ice and fall away from the main mass, catching it dead on! Sylvie immediately hurries back, "Anyone got any idea how to stab or punch smoke to death?" she calls, hopefully! OOC: Ithea.
[04:13] * Kotono changes topic to 'Sylvie(29 9/10 inspiration)>Ithea(25)>Golem(17)>Balyss(16)'
[04:14] <Kotono> "Turn it, of course!" Balyss counters, "If the soul controlling it is purified and put to rest, the force behind it is gone!"
[04:15] <Kotono> "That assumes it's not some slaad controlling it!" Sylvie shoots back in the meanwhile!
[04:15] <Ithea> "Ice seems to be working decently enough!" Ithea exclaims as she raises a white prism and with a flick and incantation, fires a ray filled with the coldest energy she can muster. (OOC - polar ray. Any SR?)
[04:15] <Kotono> OOC: Nada.
[04:16] <Ithea> ooc: sec, I haven't done a ranged touch in a while so checking math
[04:16] <Kotono> OOC: You'll hit on anything but a 1. This thing has zap touch AC.
[04:16] <Kotono> OOC: Seriously, just roll a d20.
[04:16] <Ithea> roll d20 okay
[04:16] * Hatbot --> "Ithea rolls d20 okay and gets 9." [d20=9]
[04:16] <Kotono> OOC: Hit. Damage.
[04:17] <Ithea> roll 20d6
[04:17] * Hatbot --> "Ithea rolls 20d6 and gets 67." [20d6=6, 5, 5, 2, 4, 6, 4, 4, 5, 1, 1, 1, 3, 3, 3, 1, 1, 4, 3, 5]
[04:19] <Kotono> The polar ray strikes the mass of smoke and bone! Several more bones fall away adn shatter on impact with the ground, frozen to the scorched marrow! Smoke starts leaking ouf ot the golem as it advances, obscuring it! It advances ahead at the nearest target: Ithea! OOC: Golem now has concealment, 20% miss chance. You can AoO if you please, Ithea.
[04:20] * Ithea is happy enough to take any shot she can.
[04:20] <Ithea> roll d20+34
[04:20] * Hatbot --> "Ithea rolls d20+34 and gets 45." [d20=11]
[04:20] <Kotono> OOC: Hit.
[04:20] <Ithea> roll d100
[04:20] * Hatbot --> "Ithea rolls d100 and gets 19." [d100=19]
[04:20] <Kotono> OOC: d100.
[04:20] <Kotono> OOC: Bummer.
[04:21] <Kotono> Ithea strikes out, but can't manage a solid shot at the golem due to the smoke! As she gags on the foul odor, a golem fist comes right for her face!
[04:21] <Kotono> roll 1d20+20 AC?
[04:21] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+20 AC? and gets 23." [1d20=3]
[04:21] <Kotono> But Ithea sidesteps smoothly, the fist deflecting away anyway! OOC: Balyss.
[04:22] <Kotono> Gathering her will, "Quickly," Holding her silver holy symbol, "Selune, put them to eternal rest!" Holy light fills the area, soothing the living and banishing the dead!
[04:22] <Kotono> roll 8d6*1.5 quickened turning
[04:22] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 8d6*1.5 quickened turning and gets 58.5." [8d6=6, 5, 5, 5, 3, 5, 4, 6]
[04:22] <Kotono> roll 1d20+7 will
[04:22] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+7 will and gets 9." [1d20=2]
[04:23] <Kotono> The burst of holy power causes several more bones to collapse, and with a terrible clatter of bones, the entire thing falls apart! A soft sigh of relief is heard, even as the cloying smoke begins to choke the three ladies! OOC: Free act.

[04:24] <Ithea> "Okay, what do we do to keep that from happening again?" Ithea asks the expert on undead and clerical matters.
[04:25] <Kotono> Balyss answers with an eloquent cough, stumbling away from the smoke and coughing several more times! As Sylvie follows suite, holding her hands to her face and waving them, "If we find any more golgothas, put them to rest and consecrate the remains," she says. "That -will- do - COUGH - it!" Taking a breath, "God, we must reek like a charnel house now."
[04:26] <Kotono> "Sounds about right," Sylvie wrinkles her nose, waving her hand, "Let's figure out these mirrors so we can get away from the smoke already!"
[04:28] <Ithea> "Right, well, let's try Balyss' suggestion next," Ithea says as she moves closer to one of the mirrors, pressing a gloved hand against one of the mirrors, seeing if moving her hand over it does anything about the haziness.
[04:28] <Kotono> OOC: Which mirror? By compass point is fine.
[04:29] <Ithea> ooc: the one to the left of the entrance. Whatever point that comes out to
[04:29] <Kotono> OOC: North. Okay.
[04:29] <Kotono> As you approach the northern mirror, you find it focuses! Within it you see your reflection - as a regal queen, clad in ermine robes and with a crown and scepter.
[04:33] <Kotono> Balyss whistles, "Nice look. Queen of Lifasa?" she calls, though her humor dies down, "That doesn't look like yo uat all. You're not like a queen."
[04:34] <Ithea> "No, but it -is- a nice look. I'd love to see what Dana looks like in this mirror though," Ithea says with amusement. "I'd bet she'd hate it."
[04:34] <Kotono> "Probably." Sylvie comes closer, peering, "I can't see anything in the mirror," she adds. "Just emptiness. Black emptiness."
[04:34] <Ithea> "Anyway, I guess I just look into each mirror until I find the right 'look' then, maybe?" Ithea asks the other two for an idea.
[04:35] * Ithea tries the next mirror to the left.
[04:35] <Kotono> The northwest mirror shows an image of the three, perfectly normal and unremarkable.
[04:36] <Ithea> "I see the three of us as we are. What about you guys? Still empty?"
[04:36] <Kotono> "I see it, just like the last one," Balyss opines, "I see it too," Sylvie says, "I think 21 was interacting with the last mirror."
[04:37] <Ithea> "Did you just see me as a queen, Balyss, or did you see yourself as one too?" Ithea asks curiously.
[04:38] <Kotono> "I was at an angle, but I saw that. Wings and everything," she adds.
[04:39] <Ithea> "Hrm, well, let's keep looking," Ithea says as she keeps trying the other mirrors. She does wait for the others, so as to see what the others look like in them, even if Sylvie can't see the images.
[04:39] <Kotono> The southwest mirror shows the three as warriors, clad all in gleaming mail and carrying longswords. "Nothing," Sylvie reports, "More darkness."
[04:40] <Kotono> "It's not too far different than what I'm wearing," Tapping her armor, and turning towards the southern mirror, "It's actually lighter."
[04:41] <Ithea> "All of us as warriors with longswords," Ithea says for Sylvie's benefit before moving on to the next! "This is kind of fun, you know? Almost like a makeover party or something. Too bad Sylvie can't see this stuff."
[04:43] <Kotono> Balyss suddenly smiles at that, "I had some great parties in Balmuria, especially with my closest friends." A longing look passes over her face as you reach the next mirror. This mirror shows the group as peasants, carrying garden hoes and bushels of wheat. "More black," Sylvie reports, followed by, "Days long gone," she murmurs, "Let's not start that sort of nostalgia, okay?"
[04:43] <Kotono> "I'm not nostalgic!" Balyss reports, "I just miss...well...you know."
[04:47] <Ithea> "This one's boring, it's us as farmers," Ithea says, trying the next one, deciding not to get involved in a discussion of nostalgia.
[04:48] <Kotono> "Then don't bring it up?" Sylvie's own retort sounds momentarily tired, "Sorry." The southeast mirror is the three wearing nothing but elaborate hair ribbons and jewelry. "Black," Sylvie's report is laconic, and then Balyss shakes her head. "Sorry," she adds. "I'm trying to keep my personal life out of this since I'm supposed to be the professional and wise representative of Selune here. Turning
[04:48] <Kotono> into a sighing, wistful girl who misses her love isn't that."
[04:49] <Kotono> Balyss blinks and reddens a moment, but it fades. She leans in to peer, "That jewelry looks expensive," she observes, "If nothing else, and I sort of like that blue ribbon I'm wearing."
[04:50] <Ithea> "I think I'm glad I asked you to come instead of Stille," Ithea mutters, also reddening at the sight.
[04:50] <Kotono> "What is it?" Sylvie asks, a teasing lilt coming to her voice, before thoughtfully stepping out of range of the mirror.
[04:50] <Ithea> "Next mirror, right?" she hastily adds as she starts moving.
[04:51] <Kotono> "Yes!" The eastern mirror shows the three of you, as normla. "I see this one," Sylvie says. "It's normal."
[04:52] <Kotono> "I wonder if we're supposed to do something with the normal ones," Balyss speculates, "Touch them?B reak them? Break the others?"
[04:54] <Ithea> "Well, the inscription did say 'self', so probably you're on the right track. I still want to see what all of them show. They're alternating though, aren't they?" Ithea also observes while moving to the next one.
[04:54] <Kotono> The northeastern mirror shows the three of you as blue skinned slaad! "Hold on," Sylvie says, "I see black, but in the middle there's a recess. There's what looks to be coins and some jewelry in there, and a few loose gemstones."
[04:56] * Ithea blinks. "Really? Weird, we appear on this one as slaad. Humor from our host in reference to his own 'self'?"
[04:56] <Kotono> "Might be," Sylvie says, "That's all of them. Now what?"
[04:57] <Ithea> "Let's try for that jewelry you mentioned, and then do...something, with the normal ones. Not sure what yet."
[04:58] <Kotono> "Want me to smash it?" Balyss hefts her mace, "Or something more subtle?"
[04:58] <Ithea> "Sylvie, you mentioned a recess in the middle?" Ithea asks as she tries to feel around the central area of the mirror.
[04:59] <Kotono> OOC: Touching the northwest mirror?
[04:59] <Ithea> ooc: yes
[05:00] <Kotono> The moment Ithea touches the mirror, the surface ripples and moves! Ithea feels a shot of pain in her finger, then her hand is forced back! A small droplet of blood wells up from her fingertip, as the mirror glows a bloody red! From within the mirror she emerges - a blue skinned, slaadic Ithea, glaive and all! She emits a thick croack before pouncing at the trio! OOC: 1 damage to Ithea. Init.

[05:00] <Kotono> "Oh, THOSE mirrors! I've heard the horror stories!" Balyss yelps, fumbling for her mace!
[05:00] <Kotono> roll 1d20+3
[05:00] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+3 and gets 14." [1d20=11]
[05:01] <Kotono> "Great time to share!" Sylvie replies quickly, "Let me guess, magic duplicates?"
[05:01] <Kotono> roll 1d20+17 Sylvie
[05:01] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+17 Sylvie and gets 34." [1d20=17]
[05:01] <Kotono> "Close enough!" Balyss calls back, mace in hand now and shield raised! "Quickly!"
[05:01] <Kotono> roll 1d20+17 Ithea mirror
[05:01] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+17 Ithea mirror and gets 32." [1d20=15]
[05:02] * Kotono changes topic to 'Sylvie(34)>Ithea-Mirror(32)>Balyss(14)'
[05:02] <Ithea> roll d20+17 the real Ithea
[05:02] * Hatbot --> "Ithea rolls d20+17 the real Ithea and gets 26." [d20=9]
[05:02] * Kotono changes topic to 'Sylvie(34)>Ithea-Mirror(32)>The Real Ithea Shady(26)>Balyss(14)'
[05:03] <Kotono> "Okay," Sylvie is in before any guard can be raised, "Hell with this!" A flurry of punches and kicks follows, attacking before anyone else can react!
[05:03] <Kotono> roll 1d20+30 flurry
[05:03] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+30 flurry and gets 43." [1d20=13]
[05:03] <Kotono> roll 1d20+30 flurry
[05:03] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+30 flurry and gets 44." [1d20=14]
[05:04] <Kotono> roll 1d20+25
[05:04] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+25 and gets 37." [1d20=12]
[05:04] <Kotono> roll 1d20+32 (+12 inspiration)
[05:04] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+32 (+12 inspiration) and gets 48." [1d20=16]
[05:04] <Kotono> roll 1d20+27 (+12 inspiration)
[05:04] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+27 (+12 inspiration) and gets 38." [1d20=11]
[05:05] <Kotono> roll 3d10+23+3d10+23+3d10+23+3d10+23+3d10+23+60 (5 more inspiration)
[05:05] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 3d10+23+3d10+23+3d10+23+3d10+23+3d10+23+60 (5 more inspiration) and gets 275." [3d10=5, 1, 10][3d10=4, 8, 1][3d10=8, 9, 9][3d10=6, 8, 10][3d10=10, 10, 1]
[05:07] <Kotono> The flurry that follows snaps bone! The fake ithea takes plummeling to her chest and stomach, causing cracks to spread all over! With a thrusting palm strike the left armor of Mirror-Ithea shatters into fleshy glass, and with a final whirlwind kick Sylvie shatters the head of the fake Slaad-Ithea! It dissolves into a rime of blood, which leaves only a faint rusty stain on the floor before you!
[05:07] <Kotono> OOC: Free act.

[05:07] <Kotono> "Selune, Sylvie!" Balyss gapes a moment, lowering her mace. "...something about that hit close to home."
[05:08] <Kotono> "I've seen Ithea fight." Sylvie shakes her head, "I don't want to face that in a fair fight."
[05:08] <Ithea> "...you know, maybe we should beat up our queen and jewelry mirror-images, try to get their stuff off them," Ithea suggests, then pauses and looks at the mirror again, wondering what she'll see after her mirror self is dead.
[05:08] <Kotono> You still see yourself in the mirror. Nothing has changed.
[05:09] <Ithea> "That's such a nice thing to say," Ithea says at Sylvie's words, giving a catty grin. "Hrm, I still see myself in the mirror. Since I don't think anybody wants to risk another fight, just smash it then?"
[05:09] <Kotono> "Seconded," Balyss says, and Sylvie nods, "Thirded. It's unanimous."
[05:10] <Ithea> "Well, you have the smashing weapon, will you do the honors, Balyss?"
[05:10] <Kotono> Sylvie smiles back a moment, while Balyss readies her mace, before pausing, "You know, just in case," she says, "Let's all step back. I can throw my mace and that should still do it. Just inc ase there's any more surprises."
[05:11] * Ithea pulls away with a nod, though she stays within reach to full attack anything else that comes out of the mirror.
[05:11] <Kotono> OOC: How far back?
[05:11] <Kotono> Sylvie gets all the way across the room, and Balyss backs up 10ft.
[05:13] <Ithea> ooc: 15ft, duh
[05:13] <Kotono> Thus Balyss throws her mace! It slams into the mirror, shattering it! It shatters FORWARD, the shards coming out in a deadly cone that threatens to engulf both of you! OOC: Ref, yo utwo.
[05:14] <Kotono> roll 1d20+15 ref Balyss
[05:14] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+15 ref Balyss and gets 28." [1d20=13]
[05:14] <Kotono> OOC: Evasion for her, forgot since it's labeled with a different name on her sheet.
[05:20] <Ithea> roll d20+25 evasion
[05:20] * Hatbot --> "Ithea rolls d20+25 evasion and gets 42." [d20=17]
[05:20] <Kotono> The moment her mace leaves her hand, Balyss' eyes widen! She throws herself to the side, dodging out of the way of the storm of shards with a split-second to spare! Meanwhile Ithea reacts with superhuman speed, bringing her glaive up and spinning it in a circle! This rapid, blurry spin deflects the glass away, protecting her!
[05:21] <Ithea> Once the shards are no longer a danger, Ithea looks to see if the small treasure Sylvie saw can be reached now.
[05:22] <Kotono> Indeed they can. There are loose coins, a few loose gemstones of varying colors, and several pieces of jewelry. A ring with what may be a ruby, some earrings, a green stone necklace, that sort of thing. Sylvie comes up to Ithea, "Want me to bag it all?"
[05:23] <Ithea> "Sure. Any thought on my idea of touching the mirrors with our queen versions or the, err, ribbon versions?" Ithea asks. "Or try to just move on?"
[05:24] <Kotono> "How about we not risk fighting ourselves, since we're far more dangerous than anything else here so far?" Sylvie says, "Besides, I have no idea what 21 would do to one of those mirrors, but I doubt it could copy it."
[05:27] <Ithea> "You have no sense of adventure," Ithea says, but doesn't protest the opinion given. "Okay, so how do we move on, try shattering the two normal mirrors you think then?"
[05:29] <Kotono> "Unless you want to risk touching them again?" Balyss shrugs, retreiving her mace and shaking it clean of glass dust.
[05:33] <Ithea> "The fact that they look normal doesn't necessarily mean they don't create a mirror image of us," Ithea comments as she scratches her chin in thought. "I think I'd rather just break it. Worst case, we're left with one good normal mirror we can still touch if that was the wrong decision."
[05:35] <Kotono> "Right!" Balyss goes to the northwestern mirror, 20ft away this time, "Everyone ready?"
[05:36] <Kotono> Sylvie dutifully scurries back.
[05:38] * Ithea also stands a bit further off this time, so she won't have to dance around shards of glass. "Ready when you are."
[05:39] <Kotono> The mace is thrown! This time it flies through the mirror, the entire thing shattering! Ahead is a circle in the ground, blue-green in color. It blinks between blue and green.
[05:40] <Kotono> Balyss goes in and takes up her mace, "Looks like a portal," she says, "The obvious aside, want to try it?"
[05:40] <Ithea> "Let's see what's on the other mirror as well before making a decision. It could have more treasure and that portal could be one-way," Ithea suggests.
[05:42] <Kotono> Thus the other mirror is shattered! It leads to a 40ft hallway going ahead and sloping down gently. At the bottom is a door leading further along.
[05:46] <Ithea> "Not treasure, but since we don't know if the portal is one-way, I'm more inclined to try this direction," Ithea says at that, before she starts going down the hallway.
[05:47] <Kotono> OOC: What marching order?
[05:50] <Ithea> ooc: I'll go in the front, don't care what order the other two go in.
[05:50] <Kotono> OOC: Make a quick spot check then.
[05:52] <Ithea> roll d20+42
[05:52] * Hatbot --> "Ithea rolls d20+42 and gets 60." [d20=18]
[05:53] <Kotono> Ithea's sharp eyes can notice a soft, subtle gleam to the slope - as if greased.
[05:56] <Ithea> "Wait a second..." Ithea says, gesturing a stop with a hand before she leans down and touches the slope, running a finger over it.
[05:59] <Kotono> Slippery! A thick, nasty grease clings to Ithea's finger! Balyss comes closer, "Oh Selune," she sighs in complete despair, "THIS. Slippery slopes. The last time it was that stupid fake jungle. We had to haul ourselves up the slope with vines, and if we made a mistake we'd painfully tumble down to the bottom. I had bruises all over by the time it was done, I think everyone but Marianne took a
[05:59] <Kotono> tumble that time."
[06:00] <Kotono> Sylvie takes to the air, an inch off the ground, "Problem solved," she adds brightly.
[06:02] * Ithea eyes the distance down, wondering if some acrobatics would be enough to get her down without having to resort to using up another spell.
[06:02] <Kotono> It's only 40ft ahead and maybe at most 10ft down. It's not a seriously nasty slope.
[06:04] <Ithea> "Check if the door looks safe, or if it's something like that mouth trap before. There looked to be saliva on the door or something like it. The slope doesn't really imply a lot of danger from grease, so there must be something more to it..." Ithea asks Sylvie, hoping she can scout what's surely hiding ahead.
[06:06] <Kotono> Sylvie nods, flying down! She goes to the door and peeks around, before calling back, "No saliva that I can see. It looks like a normal door."
[06:08] * Ithea frowns, and nods. Since the distance doesn't look bad, Ithea simply moves forward, sliding down the greased slope. She shouldn't slip now that she's aware of it and she's letting gravity do the job of moving her along the slope.
[06:08] <Kotono> OOC: Balance check just to be clear here.
[06:09] <Ithea> roll d20+26
[06:09] * Hatbot --> "Ithea rolls d20+26 and gets 35." [d20=9]
[06:09] <Kotono> It's an easy slide down, Balyss flying behind Ithea.
[06:09] * Ithea moves to open the door once she's next to it.
[06:14] <Kotono> The door is opened! Ahead is a vast, dark place. Flares of red light occasionally show the way - vast dark forges are here, the clang of pounding metal echoing all over. It goes further than the eye can see, weaving passages amid burning forges, racks of red hot worked steel and great troughs of water.
[06:15] <Kotono> "This is going to end with burns, I can already tell," Balyss says, "Too bad Simmer's not here."
[06:17] <Ithea> "You're going to make me feel unloved," Ithea says, before casting resist fire on all three of them.
[06:19] <Kotono> "Thanks," Sylvie smiles, "You're not unloved, we just think a pyromaniac fey is a perfect fit for a slaad." Whistling at that, "Shall we?"
[06:20] <Ithea> "I don't disagree. I did ask for Afina first, but she was out," Ithea says without missing a beat, as she steps in.
[06:22] <Kotono> Thus you step inside, beginning to wander! Amid the forges and troughs, amid the racks of hot metal, you advance ahead. After a little bit of this, you reach a clearing. Here a giant stands before a forge big enough to boil a titan in, flamescarred hammer slung of his shoulder. His body is all reds and yellows, "Well, well," he calls, "Finally, more supplies!"
[06:23] <Ithea> "Sorry, we're not here to bring supplies," Ithea says as she examines the giant.
[06:24] <Ithea> "What do you craft here, anyway?"
[06:24] <Kotono> OOC: You can make K:N here if you care to.
[06:24] <Ithea> roll d20+27 K:N
[06:24] * Hatbot --> "Ithea rolls d20+27 K:N and gets 33." [d20=6]
[06:24] <Kotono> "Oh, but you are the supplies," The giant gives yo ua big, leering grin, "I put one of you in there, forge you, and an intelligent weapon comes out!"
[06:25] <Kotono> "I think we'll have to decline that," Sylvie says, a rather pale color coming to her cheeks. "Right Ithea?"
[06:25] * Ithea nods. "I'm sorry, but if you try to stick me in there, I'm going to have to cut you up," Ithea says firmly.
[06:26] <Kotono> "Oh, that just means you have spirit!" The giant laughs, hefting that huge hammer! "If that's how ou want it? C'MON OUT, BOYS!" From the furnace it climbs out - an elemental larger thant he giant, pure blazing fire with fists bigger than Ithea!" Get 'em, so I can forge 'em good!" OOC: Init.

[06:27] <Ithea> roll d20+17
[06:27] * Hatbot --> "Ithea rolls d20+17 and gets 30." [d20=13]
[06:27] <Kotono> "Right, self defense it is," Balyss says quickly, "Let's go!"
[06:27] <Kotono> roll 1d20+3
[06:27] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+3 and gets 21." [1d20=18]
[06:27] <Kotono> "Got another ice ray, Ithea?" Sylvie asks, falling into a fighting stance!
[06:27] <Kotono> roll 1d20+17
[06:27] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+17 and gets 32." [1d20=15]
[06:27] <Kotono> roll 1d20+7 giant
[06:27] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+7 giant and gets 20." [1d20=13]
[06:27] <Kotono> roll 1d20+13 elemental
[06:27] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+13 elemental and gets 17." [1d20=4]
[06:28] <Kotono> roll 1d20+15 ????
[06:28] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+15 ???? and gets 23." [1d20=8]
[06:28] * Kotono changes topic to 'Sylvie(32)>Ithea(30)>????(23)>Balyss(21)>Giant(20)>Elemental(17)'
[06:28] <Kotono> OOC: Sylvie opens.
[06:29] <Kotono> Immediately Sylvie draws symbols in the air, "Got it again!" she cries, as inspiration leads to a second cone of cold, this one engulfing elemental and giant both!
[06:29] <Kotono> roll 1d20+25 elemental
[06:29] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+25 elemental and gets 26." [1d20=1]
[06:29] <Kotono> roll 1d20+6 giant lucky Sylvie today
[06:29] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+6 giant lucky Sylvie today and gets 13." [1d20=7]
[06:30] <Kotono> roll 15d6*1.5
[06:30] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 15d6*1.5 and gets 63." [15d6=3, 5, 4, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 4, 3, 5, 3, 1, 5, 2]
[06:31] <Kotono> Waves of cold freeze both intensely, getting shocked yelps! OOC: Go Ithea.
[06:31] <Ithea> "I've got a few," Ithea confirms, as she fires a polar ray at the elemental, followed by a second towards the giant. (ooc: using quick cast)
[06:31] <Kotono> OOC: Duly noted.
[06:31] <Ithea> roll d20+27 elemental
[06:31] * Hatbot --> "Ithea rolls d20+27 elemental and gets 29." [d20=2]
[06:31] <Ithea> roll d20+27 giant

[06:33] <Kotono> The elemental burns blue, chattering and shivering! Meanwhile the giant simply freezes solid,f alling back and cracking apart, utterly dead from exposure to pure arctic cold! OOC: Brr. ??? is up.

[06:39] <Kotono> Balyss cries out as she's knocked onto her stomach! Nothing is on her, even as her flesh is ripped apart - but Ithea can see minute vibrations and distortions, indicating an invisible creature! Whatever it is, it's big and tearing Balyss apart the hard and painful way! OOC: Balyss.

[06:44] <Kotono> Balyss struggles, foe still unseen as she perhaps gets free, perhaps not! To Ithea's eyes she just can't tell precisely enough! Meanwhile, the elemental advances - right towards Ithea with a distinctly angry roar, fist coming right for her cold dealing body!

[06:46] <Kotono> But Ithea leaps back with feline nimbleness, landing in a safe crouch as the floor she stood on is boiled! OOC: Sylvie.
[06:46] <Ithea> "You want the elemental, or whatever's on top of Balyss?" Ithea asks Sylvie.
[06:47] <Kotono> "Elemental," Sylvie turns, "I got this one!" Sidestepping in to the huge elemental, Sylvie throws a quick flurry at it, fire warded hands protecting her!

[06:50] <Kotono> Sylvie promptly batters the elemental down, the cold wracked body giving way to several leaping punches! The elemental stumbles back, sputtering out into dust and ash! OOC: It's down. Go Ithea.

[06:52] <Kotono> The craeture on Ithea is a transparent lion-ish feline, a faint red cast to it! OOC: K:P.

[06:53] <Kotono> The creature before you is a hellcat, a bezekira. While not considered a true devil by devilkind, it's a resident of hell and fights with Baator.

[06:58] <Ithea> ooc: I would assume that Balyss, Sylvie and I were all close enough that I could reach something attacking her with 15ft reach.
[06:58] <Kotono> Torn open, the hellcat is bleeding from three deep stabs into its side! Ribs can be seen, ghostly thing sthat are barely there! Before you have a chance to ponder it, the bezekira leaps up, pouncing right at Ithea! OOC: Provokes an AoO.
[06:59] * Ithea tries to impale the hellcat before it lands on her!

[07:01] <Kotono> Ithea finds herself flat on her back, a giant hellcat on her! She manages to stop most of the blows, only a clawrake tearing open a wound on her left leg, just above the knee! That bleeds, but not deeply! OOC: Ow.Balyss is up.
[07:04] <Kotono> Balyss rolls onto her side! Her back is torn open, wings bloodied and more blood pouring out! Despite that she holds her holy symbol, "Selune, grant me the light of your mercy!" she calls, as ab urst of silver moonlight explodes around and above the hellcat!
[07:05] <Kotono> roll 1d20+18

[07:05] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+13 will and gets 21." [1d20=8]
[07:06] <Kotono> Under this moonlight the hellcat seems to wither away, the weight of it gone from Ithea! OOC: FRee act.

[07:09] <Ithea> "Some mercy, that hellcat withered away," Ithea comments. "Not complaining though. Nasty little beast."
[07:20] <Kotono> Balyss painfully gets up, back bleeding badly. Holding her holy symbol with a look of distinct pain on her face, "Selune," she prays softly, as healing light envelopes both Ithea and Balyss! A circle of healing runes appear beneath both, as flesh begins to mend! Balyss lies back at this, "Just let the magic heal us," she advises.OOC: Fast healing 3 for 28 rounds.

[Corwin]

[00:55] <Koaway> ----
[00:56] <Koaway> As the two women let magic and Selune's grace heal them swiftly, Sylvie goes to check the remains of the giant. "The hammer's a bit big for my bag," she calls over, "But he has a ring. How're you two doing?"
[00:58] <Koaway> "Healing," Balyss sits up as her back slowly knits back into solidity before your eyes, holding her holy symbol, "Guide my eyes to what is seen before it happens, Moonmaiden!" Balyss chants! "I'm not going to be so slow on my feet next time. I barely had time to take a step before that damn invisible thing knocked me over."
[01:00] <Ithea> "I kind of didn't expect the giant to go down quite so easily. I think Afina might have been interested in picking his brain, but oh well, better him dead than one of us," Ithea says. "Thanks for the heal, Balyss."
06[01:01] * Ithea casts detect magic again and observes the hammer and the forge, pondering if there's any magic there that they can take for Afina to play around with later. Might be worth dragging the hammer out if the magic's there, things might be a bit tougher if it's in the forge.
[01:01] <Koaway> After a few more moments, "No, don't think that's enough," she announces, chanting again, "Part the veil of the present and show the future!" Balyss so intones, as momentarily a third eye blooms on her forehead. It fades away, but she nods nonetheless, "Thanks for saving my life!" Getting up now that the healing's done, "Anything else around?"
[01:03] <Koaway> The forge and hammer both radiate magic.
[01:03] <Koaway> OOC: Spellcraft.
[01:04] <Ithea> ooc: separate or together?
[01:04] <Ithea> roll d20+31 forge
06[01:04] * Hatbot --> "Ithea rolls d20+31 forge and gets 40." [d20=9]
[01:04] <Ithea> roll d20+31 hammer
06[01:04] * Hatbot --> "Ithea rolls d20+31 hammer and gets 32." [d20=1]
[01:05] <Koaway> The forge has the ability to forge souls into weapons. It is powerful, arcane magic that is rarely seen. Of course, doing so kills the physical body and traps the soul within a new weapon. Thus it can fail as the soul resists it. It's also likely immensely painful. The hammer is a greathammer+1, impact.
[01:07] <Ithea> "That forge...we should destroy it before leaving. The hammer is magical so let's carry it. One of the giants back home might get some better use out of it," Ithea says.
[01:07] <Koaway> Sylvie nudges the hammer and grunts, "It's heavy. I'd be a sitting duck carrying it," Sylvie says, "It's too big for my bag, too. One of you will have to lug it around."
06[01:08] * Ithea moves to pick up the hammer, hefting it. "I can carry it. It weights less than Yian, honestly."
[01:09] <Ithea> "Any suggestions on destroying the forge? The magic that giant was talking about, using souls to forge weapons, that's in that thing. I don't like the idea of it getting use again after we leave."
[01:09] <Koaway> The hammer is indeed heavy - but made for a creature much larger than Ithea. While she can lift it, wielding it impossible, and carrying it is unpleasant. Dragging it would be easier.
[01:10] <Koaway> "We could smash the forge," Sylvie takes a look at it, "But it's huge. We'd need a lot of time and effort or some impressive magic to do that."
06[01:10] * Ithea can drag it!
[01:12] <Koaway> "Yeah," Balyss agrees as she looks up for it, "I can't think of any spell I have ready that could deal with it. You got any better ideas, Ithea?"
06[01:13] * Ithea frowns. "I'm going to try something," Ithea says, as she tries to concentrate, searching for that feeling from being out in Limbo, of warping everything to her whims, seeking for it and trying to use it there and now to collapse that forge into itself. (ooc: do the anarch abilities work, or not really part of limbo?)
[01:14] <Koaway> OOC: Make a control check for Limbo. Note that your normal bonus to it applies.
[01:15] <Ithea> ooc: wisdom+8, correct? That's what I have in my sheet, so making sure!

[01:16] <Koaway> You can feel Limbo - but an outside force is controlling everything here. It is like rigid iron, enforcing an over-will onto everything here.

[01:17] <Koaway> Ithea can hear a rattling of chains coming from the right of all of you.
[01:18] <Koaway> "Hear that?" Balyss turns to the right, shield already up and in a defensive position, "Sounded like metal or chains."
[01:19] <Ithea> "Chains," Ithea clarifies, agreeing. "And that's usually trouble. Either our host decided he wants to keep the forge, or he didn't like my attempt to exert control."
[01:19] <Koaway> As the three turn and hear it? Bursting out from behind a rack of hot iron, 20ft away, are five chains! A mass of them, darting towards the heroines! OOC: Init here. Chains comin'.

[01:21] <Koaway> OOC: Go Ithea.
[01:24] <Koaway> Sylvie quickly pulls out a silver holy symbol of Oghma, chanting, "Give me the freedom to pursue all knowledge, unfettered and unbound!" OOC: Freedom of Movement. Ithea, you're up.
[01:25] <Ithea> Metal chains... That brings back horrible memories. With a twist of her hands around her weapon, her reach magically extends as she channels a lightning spell through it. (OOC: greatreach bracers to reach, then shocking grasp and AS2)

[01:28] <Koaway> Four chains are brutally severed, sparking with electricity and fallign apart in chunks! Only one chain remains! OOC: Balyss.
[01:29] <Koaway> Balyss springs forward, mace striking otu at the last chain in a bold, sudden charge! "Moon, guide my blow!"

[01:31] <Koaway> Lunarock hits the chain hard, rattling it as lightning crackles through the length! As this happens...the air around the forge shimmers! A deep groan comes from within the forge, as the shimmering air aroudn its sides forms into long, thick metal armos! With a push down the entire forge comes out of the floor, revealing legs that form even as it does so! The entire enchanted forge is now up and
[01:31] <Koaway> moving, the shimmering ceasing! OOC: Chains are up now.
03[01:31] * Koaway changes topic to 'Sylvie=Ithea(they both luv luv 27)>Balyss(25)>Forge?!(15)>Chains(9)'
[01:32] <Koaway> "Oh. Fuck." Sylvie stares up at it, face dropping! Meanwhile the last chain counters on Balyss, striking at her!
[01:32] <Koaway> roll 1d20+14
06[01:32] * Hatbot --> "Koaway rolls 1d20+14  and gets 34." [1d20=20]
[01:32] <Koaway> roll 1d20+14 crit?
06[01:32] * Hatbot --> "Koaway rolls 1d20+14 crit? and gets 34." [1d20=20]

06[01:32] * Hatbot --> "Koaway rolls 1d20+14 crit?!?! and gets 25." [1d20=11]
[01:33] <Koaway> roll 1d8+4 and improved grab ow add their HP to #elysium.
[01:33] <Ithea> "...Okay, I think that confirms the need for that forge to go away," Ithea says flatly. "This slaad is fucking living up to his 'Demented' name!"
06[01:33] * Hatbot --> "Koaway rolls 1d8+4 and improved grab ow add their HP to #elysium. and gets 10." [1d8=6]
[01:33] <Koaway> roll 1d20+19
06[01:33] * Hatbot --> "Koaway rolls 1d20+19 and gets 27." [1d20=8]
[01:34] <Koaway> Balyss is raked over the side with the chain, a heavy smack of metal on metal! Balyss grunts but is otherwise not seriously effective, able to shield bash the chain off her before it wraps around her waist! OOC: Sylvie'n'Ithea. Go Ithea.
06[01:36] * Ithea decides the forge takes priority over the chain, and fires a polar ray at it.
[01:36] <Ithea> roll d20+24
06[01:36] * Hatbot --> "Ithea rolls d20+24 and gets 28." [d20=4]
[01:36] <Koaway> OOC: Hit. CL check.
[01:37] <Ithea> roll d20+22 (probably should have smacked it first so I can get spell power in too. oh well)
06[01:37] * Hatbot --> "Ithea rolls d20+22 (probably should have smacked it first so I can get spell power in too. oh well) and gets 42." [d20=20]
[01:37] <Koaway> OOC: Success. Damage. It is weak to cold, so 1.5.
[01:37] <Ithea> ooc: or maybe it's fine
[01:37] <Ithea> roll 1.5*20d6
06[01:37] * Hatbot --> "Ithea rolls 1.5*20d6 and gets 88.5." [20d6=2, 2, 3, 5, 2, 2, 2, 3, 5, 1, 2, 3, 5, 4, 3, 5, 2, 2, 5, 1]
[01:38] <Koaway> The beam of ice flies out, right into the heated forge! The chill forms ice all over it, steam rising up! As this happen Sylvie shakes her head, "Oghma..." she breathes, before doing the only thing she can - trying to tumble past its fists and strike it!
[01:39] <Koaway> roll 1d20+69 (+17 inspiration) tumble
06[01:39] * Hatbot --> "Koaway rolls 1d20+69 (+17 inspiration) tumble and gets 73." [1d20=4]
[01:40] <Koaway> roll 1d20+32 (2 inspiration for cunning breach since she bets it has DR)
06[01:40] * Hatbot --> "Koaway rolls 1d20+32 (2 inspiration for cunning breach since she bets it has DR) and gets 35." [1d20=3]
[01:40] <Koaway> roll 3d10+23
06[01:40] * Hatbot --> "Koaway rolls 3d10+23 and gets 40." [3d10=1, 10, 6]
03[01:40] * Koaway changes topic to 'Sylvie=Ithea(they both luv luv 27; 7/10 inspiration)>Balyss(25)>Forge?!(15)>Chains(9)'
[01:41] <Koaway> The blow Sylvie hits on the front of the forge is heavy, rattling the entire thing like sheet metal - but it's barely even dented! Meanwhile Balyss focuses on plummeling that one last chain down, "I can drain the heat from it if I get close," Balyss calls over, as her mace slams down again and again!
[01:41] <Koaway> roll 1d20+20
06[01:41] * Hatbot --> "Koaway rolls 1d20+20 and gets 22." [1d20=2]
[01:41] <Koaway> roll 1d20+15
06[01:41] * Hatbot --> "Koaway rolls 1d20+15 and gets 33." [1d20=18]
[01:41] <Koaway> roll 1d20+10
06[01:41] * Hatbot --> "Koaway rolls 1d20+10 and gets 26." [1d20=16]
[01:42] <Koaway> 1d8+7+1d6
[01:42] <Koaway> 1d8+7+1d6
06[01:42] * Hatbot --> "Koaway rolls 1d8+7+1d6 and gets 13." [1d8=2][1d6=4]
06[01:42] * Hatbot --> "Koaway rolls 1d8+7+1d6 and gets 15." [1d8=5][1d6=3]
03[01:42] * Koaway changes topic to 'Sylvie=Ithea(they both luv luv 27; 7/10 inspiration)>Balyss(25)>Forge?!(15)'
[01:43] <Koaway> The chain is plummeled down, shattering apart under Balyss's Lunarock! A split second later, the mouth of the forge erupts out, the entire world becoming a hellscape of fire and pain! OOC: Ref saves, all. Note if you have evasion or whatever.
[01:43] <Koaway> roll 1d20+23 evasion Sylvie
06[01:43] * Hatbot --> "Koaway rolls 1d20+23 evasion Sylvie and gets 30." [1d20=7]

06[01:43] * Hatbot --> "Ithea rolls d20+25 evasion and gets 33." [d20=8]

06[01:44] * Hatbot --> "Koaway rolls 24d12 Balyss only, -30 for fire res full otherwise and gets 155." [24d12=2, 7, 8, 5, 1, 8, 8, 1, 11, 6, 9, 3, 5, 4, 5, 11, 9, 11, 5, 2, 12, 8, 6, 8]
[01:46] <Koaway> Somehow Ithea dodges. She isn't aware of it, just moving faster than she can even perceive! When it's over she's holding her glaive up in defense, flames burning all around her! The entire forge area is now ablaze, only magical warding preventing you from cooking alive! Sylvie is likewise unburnt, arms crossed over her face, shielding her! But Balyss is not so lucky! She is burnt all over, hair
[01:46] <Koaway> ablaze and face-flesh melting off like warm butter off toast! Somehow she still seems to be alive! "Kill it!" she manages in a gargling voice, "Selune...will save me!" OOC: Ow. Sylvie'n'Ithea.
06[01:47] * Ithea looks briefly horrified, before it turns to determination and she channels icy magic once more. (OOC: casting polar ray again. If it's still up, I'll quick cast a second after)
[01:47] <Ithea> roll d20+24
06[01:48] * Hatbot --> "Ithea rolls d20+24 and gets 41." [d20=17]

[01:48] <Ithea> roll 1.5*20d6
06[01:48] * Hatbot --> "Ithea rolls 1.5*20d6 and gets 127.5." [20d6=6, 3, 4, 5, 4, 4, 4, 5, 6, 6, 6, 5, 2, 5, 5, 1, 2, 3, 6, 3]
[01:48] <Koaway> OOC: It's still up.
[01:48] <Ithea> roll d20+24
06[01:48] * Hatbot --> "Ithea rolls d20+24 and gets 42." [d20=18]
[01:48] <Koaway> OOC: Hit. SR.

[01:48] <Ithea> roll 1.5*20d6

[01:51] <Koaway> Twin rays of ice fly into the maw of the burning forge, the innards going cold! The entire thing is covered in ice now but still up, a hideous quenching sound heard within! Ahead of you, Sylvie screams. It is a scream better coming out of the mouth of a savage, "Not again, you bastards!" OOC: Mimic class feature, rage. +4 con, so +34 hp/max hp. She's attacking it.
[01:52] <Koaway> roll 1d20+32 (+2 rage, flurry)
06[01:52] * Hatbot --> "Koaway rolls 1d20+32 (+2 rage, flurry) and gets 51." [1d20=19]
[01:52] <Koaway> roll 1d20+32 (+2 rage, flurry)
06[01:52] * Hatbot --> "Koaway rolls 1d20+32 (+2 rage, flurry) and gets 35." [1d20=3]
[01:52] <Koaway> roll 1d20+27 (+2 rage, flurry)
06[01:52] * Hatbot --> "Koaway rolls 1d20+27 (+2 rage, flurry) and gets 42." [1d20=15]
[01:52] <Koaway> roll 1d20+22 (+2 rage, flurry)
06[01:52] * Hatbot --> "Koaway rolls 1d20+22 (+2 rage, flurry) and gets 26." [1d20=4]
[01:52] <Koaway> roll 1d20+17 (+2 rage, flurry)
06[01:52] * Hatbot --> "Koaway rolls 1d20+17 (+2 rage, flurry) and gets 27." [1d20=10]
[01:52] <Koaway> roll 9d10+75
06[01:52] * Hatbot --> "Koaway rolls 9d10+75 and gets 125." [9d10=1, 6, 9, 2, 9, 4, 8, 6, 5]
[01:53] <Koaway> Sylvie hits the forge over and over, plummeling the icy-heavy and creaking metal plates! The entire beast rocks back, under assault from cold and fists both! Yet the massive forge is still up, even if the innards have gone ice cold! To this Balyss holds her holy symbol in one smouldering hand, "Selune, moon healing!" And then, Balyss is better, her flesh immediately restored and hair even unburnt!
[01:53] <Koaway> OOC: Heal, +150 hp. Forge is up.
[01:55] <Koaway> The forge rocks, it's big steel hands raised! It forms a double axe handle, smashing down in between Sylvie and Ithea, getting both of them within it's huge range!
[01:55] <Koaway> roll 1d20+31 AC vs both Sylvie and Balyss (-10 PA)
06[01:55] * Hatbot --> "Koaway rolls 1d20+31 AC vs both Sylvie and Balyss (-10 PA) and gets 46." [1d20=15]
[01:55] <Koaway> OOC: Er, Ithea, not Balyss there.
[01:55] <Koaway> OOC: AC?
[01:55] <Ithea> ooc: 43. This may hurt.
[01:56] <Koaway> roll 3d12+50 it might just, yes
06[01:56] * Hatbot --> "Koaway rolls 3d12+50 it might just, yes and gets 71." [3d12=11, 1, 9]
[01:57] <Koaway> The two ladies are smashed down hard! The blow is enough to send both of you onto the ground, bones broken and agony exploding out from your bodies! Nothing lethal, but Ithea feels like she just got a mountain dropped on her! OOC: Ow. Both of you are prone. Ithea'n'Sylvie are up.
06[01:59] * Ithea stands up and casts another polar ray with a wince.
[01:59] <Koaway> OOC: Standing provokes an AoO from it. You okay with that?
[01:59] <Ithea> ooc: no option so yeah.
[02:00] <Koaway> roll 1d20+31 AC?
06[02:00] * Hatbot --> "Koaway rolls 1d20+31 AC? and gets 50." [1d20=19]
[02:00] <Koaway> roll 1d20+31 AC ow
06[02:00] * Hatbot --> "Koaway rolls 1d20+31 AC ow and gets 39." [1d20=8]
[02:00] <Ithea> ooc: not a crit at least ;_;
[02:00] <Koaway> roll 1d12+10 continue
06[02:00] * Hatbot --> "Koaway rolls 1d12+10 continue and gets 14." [1d12=4]
[02:01] <Ithea> roll d20+24
06[02:01] * Hatbot --> "Ithea rolls d20+24 and gets 32." [d20=8]
[02:01] <Ithea> roll d20+22 CL
06[02:01] * Hatbot --> "Ithea rolls d20+22 CL and gets 31." [d20=9]
[02:01] <Koaway> OOC: Success.
[02:01] <Ithea> roll 1.5*20d6
06[02:01] * Hatbot --> "Ithea rolls 1.5*20d6 and gets 109.5." [20d6=2, 2, 5, 4, 5, 3, 2, 6, 6, 3, 2, 6, 2, 4, 4, 5, 2, 3, 3, 4]
[02:03] <Koaway> As Ithea is punches she rolls to her feet, staggering and firing off a polar ray! This one is enough to cause the entire mass to groan, collapsing under its own weight! The din is deafening, as before you lies a ruined forge! Otherwise the area around you burns. Yet as you see this, a glimpse of light amid the burnign can be seen - a doorway of light opens, far to the left.
[02:03] <Koaway> OOC: Free act.
[02:04] <Koaway> Sylvie sends several more blows to the forge before she stops, exhaling out. She wipes her brow and looks around, coughing at the growing unpleasant miasma of smoke. "Balyss! Are you alright?"
[02:04] <Koaway> "I'm fine," Balyss smiles slightly, coughing into her hand, "Ithea, you alright?"
03[02:13] * Koaway is now known as Ktoono
03[02:13] * Ktoono is now known as Kotono
02[03:02] * Ebiris (Ebiris@cpc11-sgyl31-2-0-cust274.sgyl.cable.virginmedia.com) Quit (Quit: bedtime)
[03:04] <Ithea> "My ribs are killing me...but I'll live," Ithea says with a wince, leaning on her glaive, resting the end of the pole against the ground for support. "At least that forge won't be used to torture any poor souls any longer."
[03:06] <Kotono> As the air becomes foul and hot to breathe, "Good work," Balyss offers Ithea a hand, "See the door there? I think we're being her-" Balyss coughs at the smoke several times, tears r unning down her face, "Before we choke," she appends, as the blazes continue to burn.
06[03:07] * Ithea nods. "Let's keep moving," Ithea says, grabbing the giant's hammer again and dragging it along, even as she winces every couple of steps.
[03:09] <Kotono> Thus you stumble ahead! The threesome head into the door of light! As you pass through it the light closes behind you, fresh and sweet air ahead. You now stand in a room curved like a u, with the party at the upper end. The walls are the same as before, yet the floor is nothing but sand dunes. Ahead at the lowest point of the 'u' is a door going on, and there's also a door directly ahead, at
[03:09] <Kotono> the other tip of the u. OOC: The floor here counts as difficult terrain for movement.
[03:10] <Kotono> Coughing a few more times, "Hold it," Balyss says, "You two could use some healing after being smashed around."
[03:11] <Kotono> "You think," Sylvie holds her own ribs, "You took it worse than we did. Oghma's books, Balyss, your face was melting!"
[03:12] <Kotono> Shaking her head and frowning a bit, "I've had worse before. Work past the pain with faith in Selune above. Now..." Balyss concentrates, a burst of healing power buffeting both Sylvie and Ithea!
[03:12] <Kotono> roll 8d6*1.5 turn, healing for you two
06[03:12] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 8d6*1.5 turn, healing for you two and gets 28.5." [8d6=1, 2, 1, 1, 4, 2, 5, 3]
[03:13] <Kotono> "Hm." Inspecting both, and reaching out to poke Ithea's ribs, "Does it still hurt?"
[03:14] <Ithea> "A fair bit, but more than tolearable now. Thanks," Ithea says, standing a fair bit more easily now.
[03:14] <Kotono> "I'm not done," Balyss says, holding her holy symbol aloft! Gleaming golden light spreads as healing again salves both of you, "Selune, guide us to health!"
[03:14] <Kotono> roll 8d6*1.5 turn, healing for you two
06[03:14] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 8d6*1.5 turn, healing for you two and gets 42." [8d6=2, 3, 3, 4, 1, 4, 5, 6]
[03:15] <Kotono> Wounds heal once more! This time the pain is gone! "Now I can breathe clear," Sylvie reports, "That sharp pain you get when your ribs are hurt is gone."
06[03:17] * Ithea nods. "Let's keep moving. Every time we dawdle, our host seems to get bored and send something else to attack us," Ithea says as she starts walking onto the sand towards the door ahead of them.
[03:18] <Kotono> The door ahead is plain enough. Just another door - save for one thing. There is a keyhole above the doorknob. Above the keyhole is an image of a club, like from a deck of playing cards.
02[03:18] * Muirfinn (~Yuthirin@c-71-57-26-119.hsd1.il.comcast.net) Quit (Ping timeout)
03[03:18] * Muirfinn (~Yuthirin@c-71-57-26-119.hsd1.il.comcast.net) has joined #dunes
[03:19] <Kotono> "Locked?" Balyss questions, "Can either of you pick locks?"
06[03:20] * Ithea shakes her head. "I can always just try to break it," she says as she momentarily drops the giant hammer to get a good grip on her own weapon, attempting to force it open, even if it shatters it.
[03:21] <Kotono> OOC: Make an attack roll against it.
[03:21] <Ithea> roll d20+34
06[03:21] * Hatbot --> "Ithea rolls d20+34 and gets 38." [d20=4]
[03:21] <Kotono> OOC: Damage.
[03:21] <Ithea> roll d10+20
06[03:21] * Hatbot --> "Ithea rolls d10+20 and gets 22." [d10=2]
[03:21] <Kotono> Ithea carves a gash into the door, but not a deep one.
06[03:22] * Ithea tries again, this time putting more force into it!
[03:22] <Ithea> roll d20+20 PA-14
06[03:22] * Hatbot --> "Ithea rolls d20+20 PA-14 and gets 27." [d20=7]
[03:22] <Kotono> OOC: DAmage.
[03:22] <Ithea> roll d10+20+28
06[03:22] * Hatbot --> "Ithea rolls d10+20+28 and gets 50." [d10=2]
[03:23] <Kotono> Sylvie watches both slashes, the second carving deeper in, but still struggling to cut through solid stone. "I can try to pick it," Sylvie announces. "I know the tricks."
06[03:23] * Ithea sighs. "Have at it. I'd normally just teleport through, but I'm starting to run low on spells," Ithea finally says after seeing the results of her second attempt, moving away and gesturing for Sylvie to try at it.
[03:24] <Kotono> Balyss comes close as she watches, "I'm impressed you cut that deep into solid stone." Tapping a nearby wall, "Then again, you cut through those chains easily."
[03:25] <Kotono> Sylvie meanwhile kneels, starting to work on the door!
[03:25] <Kotono> roll 1d20+29 (+17 inspiration)
06[03:25] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+29 (+17 inspiration) and gets 30." [1d20=1]
[03:25] <Kotono> Sylvie works away, before abruptly a splurt of gas erupts out of the keyhole at her!
[03:25] <Kotono> roll 1d20+28 fort
06[03:26] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+28 fort and gets 42." [1d20=14]
[03:26] <Kotono> Stumbling back and coughing, waving her hand in front of her face, "Bad idea!" she blurts out, sneezing. "Okay, Ithea, maybe it is better to break it down."
[03:27] <Ithea> "I'll give it another shot, otherwise we'll just move onto the next room instead," Ithea says with a nod as she pulls back and then thrusts full force at it.
[03:28] <Ithea> roll d20+34-18 (PA)
06[03:28] * Hatbot --> "Ithea rolls d20+34-18 (PA) and gets 22." [d20=6]
[03:28] <Kotono> OOC: Damage.
[03:28] <Ithea> roll d10+20+36
06[03:28] * Hatbot --> "Ithea rolls d10+20+36 and gets 57." [d10=1]
[03:28] <Kotono> You cut deeper in again! The gough is reasonably deep now, but it hasn't broken through the door. It looks to be at least four inches thick, based on how far you cut in.
[03:30] <Ithea> "This may take a while since we don't know how thick the door is overall, and I don't want to use up any more of my magic than I have to," Ithea says with a sigh, turning towards the next door after grabbing onto the hammer again. "We'll just have to remember to keep an eye out for any clubs."
[03:32] <Kotono> "Right," Sylvie says, taking to the air a few inches, floating over the dunes. "Lazy," Balyss chastises, but takes to the air as well. "Want me to carry you over, Ithea?"
[03:32] <Kotono> "Anticipatory," Sylvie's retort lacks any heat, "The way this is going, giant worms will come up and turn the floor into a whirlpool of death or something else unpleasant."
06[03:35] * Ithea laughs. "I'll walk, since I'm dragging the hammer, Balyss," Ithea says. "If we do get attacked, I'll abandon the hammer and take to the air myself."
[03:35] <Kotono> Thus the trio advance on! OOC: Make a listen check, Ithea?
[03:35] <Ithea> roll d20+42
06[03:35] * Hatbot --> "Ithea rolls d20+42 and gets 60." [d20=18]
[03:36] <Kotono> As you're about halfway down, 40ft to go to the door? Ithea can hear the soft, swishing sound of swirling sand below her!
06[03:39] * Ithea curses, and abandons the hammer as she takes to the air, drifting straight up as her weapon transforms with a spell.
[03:40] <Kotono> "What?" Sylvie begins, before it erupts out! A great sand colored shark leaps out of the sand, pouncing where Ithea was! It swims through the sand like water, only a fin visible! OOC: Init here.
[03:40] <Kotono> OOC: You have 20ft of space above to ascend before the roof, by the by.
[03:40] <Kotono> "Sand SHARK?!" Balyss stares down,
[03:41] <Kotono> "Sand SHARK?!" Balyss stares down, jaw agape a moment, "That's...so stupid!"
[03:41] <Kotono> roll 1d20+3
06[03:41] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+3 and gets 13." [1d20=10]
[03:41] <Kotono> "It's what we get for going into a slaad dungeon," Sylvie retorts, "A sick mind designed this!"
[03:41] <Kotono> roll 1d20+17
06[03:41] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+17 and gets 18." [1d20=1]
[03:41] <Ithea> roll d20+17

06[03:42] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+11 SANDSHARK and gets 30." [1d20=19]
[03:42] <Kotono> roll 1d20+11 ????
06[03:42] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+11 ???? and gets 24." [1d20=13]
[03:42] <Kotono> roll 1d20+15 ???? 2
06[03:42] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+15 ???? 2 and gets 33." [1d20=18]
03[03:42] * Kotono changes topic to '???(33)>SANDSHARK(30)>???(24)>Ithea(22)>Sylvie(18)>Balyss(13)'
[03:43] <Ithea> "...is it wrong that I actually don't think that's as strange as you two are making it out to be?" Ithea asks.
[03:43] <Kotono> "YES!" Balyss shouts back, as another fin emerges! Yet this sand shark that leaps up is made of sand-eroded ice, leaping up right for Sylvie!
[03:43] <Kotono> roll 1d20+25 (+2 'charge')
06[03:43] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+25 (+2 'charge') and gets 40." [1d20=15]
[03:44] <Kotono> roll 3d8+10 and improved grab
06[03:44] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 3d8+10 and improved grab and gets 25." [3d8=2, 7, 6]
[03:44] <Kotono> roll 1d20+30 CMB vs 53+FoM bonus, won't even bother looking it up
06[03:44] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+30 CMB vs 53+FoM bonus, won't even bother looking it up and gets 34." [1d20=4]
[03:44] <Ithea> "You'll be happy to know that an ice sandshark goes into strange territory even for me then!" Ithea says.
[03:45] <Kotono> "Great!" Balyss shouts back, as Sylvie gets bit on the leg! The wound freezes over instead of drawing blood, Sylvie's right leg quickly turning frostbitten! Before she has a chance to even cry out, the actual sand shark leaps up for Ithea, swimming past the descending ice-sand shark!
[03:45] <Kotono> roll 1d20+21 (+2 'charge) AC? Flatfooed if you don't have uncanny, I forget if yo udo
06[03:45] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+21 (+2 'charge) AC? Flatfooed if you don't have uncanny, I forget if yo udo and gets 26." [1d20=5]
[03:46] <Ithea> ooc: I do. 43 AC
03[03:46] * Kotono changes topic to 'Ice Shark(33)>SANDSHARK(30)>???(24)>Ithea(22)>Sylvie(18)>Balyss(13)'
[03:46] <Ithea> "See, that makes sense!" Ithea says, pointing at the sand shark. "The ice one just dumb! It should be melting or something!"
[03:47] <Ithea> ooc: ice one is*
[03:48] <Kotono> But Ithea is already flying straight up, the shark's leap too low! As Sylvie's gasp of pain is heard, a third shark emerges! This one is frog skinned and gray colored, looking like a cross between a slaad and a shark! In words that Ithea understands even if she doesn't know them, "Ode of the sharks, volume one! Oh, it was a fine and vigorous hunt..." OOC: Inspire Courage+4. Ithea, you're up.
[03:48] <Kotono> The sharks have cover and concealment thanks to the sand, only fins visible. That's +4 AC and 20% miss chance.
03[03:48] * Kotono changes topic to 'Ice Shark(33)>SANDSHARK(30)>Slaad-bard shark(24)>Ithea(22)>Sylvie(18)>Balyss(13)'

[03:51] <Ithea> "...okay, I don't even know what to say about that one," Ithea says, trying to wrap her mind around that. Knowing that they'll all likely aim for her once she's ground-bound again so she can attack, Ithea casts blink.
[03:52] <Kotono> OOC: Okay.
[03:52] <Ithea> ooc: That's it for my actions.
[03:53] <Kotono> Sylvie stares down in pain and complete disbelief, "What?" she utters, "What?" For a few moments she just stays there in seeming shock, before she dives down foot first at the ice-shark trying to kick it in twain!
[03:53] <Kotono> roll 1d20+46 (+2 charge, +12 inspiration since nothing makes sense here, also using inspiration on damage for 8/10 left)
06[03:54] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+46 (+2 charge, +12 inspiration since nothing makes sense here, also using inspiration on damage for 8/10 left) and gets 57." [1d20=11]
[03:54] <Kotono> roll 3d10+23+12
06[03:54] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 3d10+23+12 and gets 53." [3d10=8, 7, 3]
[03:54] <Kotono> roll 1d100 concealment
06[03:54] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d100 concealment and gets 2." [1d100=2]
[03:54] <Kotono> Sylvie kicks down - and does a lovely job of hitting the sand next to the shark instead of the actual ice shark! OOC: Ow. Balyss.
[03:56] <Kotono> Balyss bows her head and begins to whisper! Soundless whispers that nonetheless raise the fur on the back of Ithea's neck! It sounds like a dozen voices speaking without sound, as...!
[03:56] <Kotono> roll 1d20+13 vs DC 26 ice
06[03:56] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+13 vs DC 26 ice and gets 25." [1d20=12]

[03:58] <Kotono> The sand shark stops, simply not moving any more! OOC: Ice Shark.
[03:58] <Kotono> The Ice Shark comes 'round in the sand again, doing a quick circle before leaping at Sylvie once more!
[03:58] <Kotono> roll 1d20+25 (+2 'charge)
06[03:58] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+25 (+2 'charge) and gets 41." [1d20=16]
[03:59] <Kotono> roll 3d8+10
06[03:59] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 3d8+10 and gets 16." [3d8=2, 3, 1]
[03:59] <Kotono> Sylvie is bitten again, hips frozen now from a sharkbite! Yet she isn't pulled down, warded and protected! Meanwhile the Sandshark just stays where it is, unmoving! OOC: Slaad-shark.
[04:00] <Kotono> "Ode of the sharks, volume two! The blood of our enemies is the sweetest nectar and the foulest poison..." Thus he continues to perform! OOC: Okay. Ithea, go.
06[04:01] * Ithea decides to go for the ice shark, since that's what's been the most dangerous so far, swooping down and slashing past the fin.
[04:02] <Ithea> ooc: actually, first, any roll for knowledge devotion?
[04:02] <Kotono> OOC: K:D.
[04:03] <Ithea> roll d20+20 K:D
06[04:03] * Hatbot --> "Ithea rolls d20+20 K:D and gets 37." [d20=17]
[04:03] <Ithea> roll d20+30 PA-9
06[04:03] * Hatbot --> "Ithea rolls d20+30 PA-9 and gets 35." [d20=5]
[04:04] <Kotono> OOC: Hit. d100, concealment.
[04:04] <Ithea> roll d100
06[04:04] * Hatbot --> "Ithea rolls d100 and gets 65." [d100=65]
[04:04] <Kotono> OOC: Damage.
[04:04] <Ithea> roll d10+20+18
06[04:04] * Hatbot --> "Ithea rolls d10+20+18 and gets 39." [d10=1]
[04:05] <Kotono> Ithea comes on over and slices into the ice shark! She scores a direct hit, as Sylvie shakes off her pain and stunnedness! With a quick shout she plummels down on the ice shark, already wounded by Ithea!
[04:05] <Kotono> roll 1d20+30 flurry
[04:05] <Kotono> roll 1d20+30 flurry

[04:06] <Kotono> roll 15d10+115

03[04:06] * Kotono changes topic to 'SANDSHARK(30 +4 IC; stupor)>Slaad-bard shark(24m +4 IC)>Ithea(22)>Sylvie(18)>Balyss(13)'
[04:07] <Kotono> The ice shark is stomped down hard, shattering apart into hunks of ice all over! As shark-ice pelts Ithea, Balyss continues to whisper those disquieting phrases of madness!
[04:07] <Kotono> roll 1d20+16 vs DC 26 bard
06[04:07] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+16 vs DC 26 bard and gets 30." [1d20=14]
[04:09] <Kotono> But the songs continue! "Lo!" The slaad-shark declares, "I must draw my sword and fight!" Yet no sword is there, "I must crispily defend myself from bright and burly bandits!" AT this, a great wave of chaos comes from the fin of the shark, shaking the air all over! OOC: Will, all.
[04:09] <Kotono> OOC: Balyss is immune due to mind blank.
[04:10] <Kotono> roll 1d20+28 Sylvie
06[04:10] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+28 Sylvie and gets 36." [1d20=8]
[04:10] <Ithea> ooc: Is that a spell or SLA?
[04:10] <Kotono> OOC: Yes. That means your SR applies, doesn't it?
[04:10] <Kotono> roll 1d20+18 SR?
06[04:10] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+18 SR? and gets 26." [1d20=8]
[04:10] <Ithea> ooc: doesn't beat my SR
[04:10] <Kotono> OOC: Which benefit?
[04:11] <Ithea> ooc: temp HP, 5xspell level
[04:11] <Kotono> Yet the waves of chaos pass with nothing more happening! OOC: Okay, add 'em. Ithea's up.
[04:11] <Ithea> ooc: what level is that?
[04:11] <Kotono> OOC: 6th.
06[04:12] * Ithea goes on to attack the slaad-shark, moving as fast as she can on the sandy terrain and attacking!
[04:12] <Ithea> roll d20+39-9 PA-9
06[04:12] * Hatbot --> "Ithea rolls d20+39-9 PA-9 and gets 43." [d20=13]
[04:12] <Kotono> OOC: That be a hizzit.
[04:12] <Kotono> OOC: d100 for concealment.
[04:12] <Ithea> roll d100
06[04:12] * Hatbot --> "Ithea rolls d100 and gets 59." [d100=59]
[04:12] <Kotono> OOC: Damage.
[04:12] <Ithea> roll d10+20+18
06[04:12] * Hatbot --> "Ithea rolls d10+20+18 and gets 47." [d10=9]
[04:13] <Kotono> "AH!" The slaad shark cries out as Ithea cuts a good chunk of his flank away, "You filthy paladin! You angel of light! You INEVITABLE!" it calls, "I shall have to braise you for fourty five minutes then boil you in a pear reduction!" As he goes on about that, Sylvie follows, leaping up for a diving karate kick right at the shark's head!
[04:13] <Kotono> roll 1d20+32
06[04:13] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+32  and gets 34." [1d20=2]
[04:14] <Kotono> But she narrowly misses, hitting sand and landing in a roll instead! At this Balyss flies well opposite the shark, "Enough!" she declares, as light bursts to the flank of the shark, enough to dazzle but not hurt both Sylvie and Balyss!
[04:15] <Kotono> OOC: Ithea.
[04:15] <Kotono> roll 1d20+16 will halves
06[04:15] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+16 will halves and gets 27." [1d20=11]
[04:15] <Kotono> roll 15d6
06[04:15] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 15d6 and gets 48." [15d6=4, 4, 3, 4, 6, 1, 4, 4, 1, 3, 3, 4, 2, 1, 4]
[04:15] <Kotono> Lunatic light momentarily blinds the slaad-shark, but it isn't put down! Instead it rears up and out of the sand, "My fervent love!" he declares, going to bite Sylvie!
[04:16] <Kotono> roll 1d20+18 (+4 IC, -18 PA)
06[04:16] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+18 (+4 IC, -18 PA) and gets 26." [1d20=8]
[04:16] <Kotono> A huge, massive bite -b ut Sylvie's too fast, springing back and backpedaling through the dunes! "Gah!" she declares, "Just die!" OOC: Ithea.
06[04:17] * Ithea attempts to oblige Sylvie's request as she sends a barrage of slashes towards the aberration!
[04:17] <Ithea> roll d20+39-6 PA-6
06[04:17] * Hatbot --> "Ithea rolls d20+39-6 PA-6 and gets 42." [d20=9]
[04:17] <Ithea> roll d20+34-6 PA-6
06[04:17] * Hatbot --> "Ithea rolls d20+34-6 PA-6 and gets 39." [d20=11]
[04:17] <Ithea> roll d20+29-6 PA-6
06[04:17] * Hatbot --> "Ithea rolls d20+29-6 PA-6 and gets 43." [d20=20]
[04:17] <Ithea> roll d20+24-6 PA-6
06[04:17] * Hatbot --> "Ithea rolls d20+24-6 PA-6 and gets 26." [d20=8]
[04:18] <Ithea> roll d20+29-6 PA-6 threat?
06[04:18] * Hatbot --> "Ithea rolls d20+29-6 PA-6 threat? and gets 30." [d20=7]
[04:18] <Kotono> OOC: Three normal hits. d100.
[04:18] <Ithea> roll 3#d100
06[04:18] * Hatbot --> "Ithea rolls 3#d100 and gets 131." [3#d100 = 28, 42, 61]
[04:18] <Kotono> OOC: Hits. Damage.
[04:18] <Ithea> roll 3d10+60+36
06[04:18] * Hatbot --> "Ithea rolls 3d10+60+36 and gets 121." [3d10=8, 10, 7]
[04:19] <Kotono> Under that assault, the slaad-shark sings no more ballads! He is cut apart, sinking into the dryness of the desert sands! Its fin is sliced, its teeth littering the sand nearby and blood sinking deep into the sands indeed! OOC: Free act.
[04:20] <Ithea> ooc: Don't we still have the sandshark to deal with?
[04:20] <Kotono> What Sylvie says next is utterly profane and ill worth repeating. She rubs her frozen hip in the meantime, and then, "It's like he gets what a dungeon is, but not what's in it. Sometimes it makes sense and then you open the door, and it is a giant suction mouth or sand sharks."
[04:20] <Kotono> OOC: It's incapacitated.
[04:21] <Kotono> Balyss meanwhile flies down, looking at the sand shark. "Would you finish it, Ithea?" she says, looking away, "I'd rather not."
06[04:21] * Ithea goes and rams her glaive onto the sandshark lest it attack them later if they return and balyss' magic wears off. (OOC: coup de grace~)
[04:21] <Kotono> The sandshark is so slain, unable to do anything but be utterly slain!
[04:23] <Ithea> "Done. Want to take their fins? They're supposed to be a delicacy aren't they? Well, on normal sharks anyway, but still...well, maybe not the slaad one actually."
[04:23] <Kotono> "If you want," Sylvie says, "Cut them off. I'd rather not tear them off."
06[04:25] * Ithea nods and cuts off the sand shark's, and the ice shark's, passing them on to Sylvie for her bag before grabbing the hammer again. "Moving on to the next stage of this demented slaad's room of fun..." she comments as she heads towards the next door.
[04:25] <Ithea> ooc: rooms*
[04:25] <Kotono> OOC: Make a spot check.
[04:25] <Ithea> roll d20+42
06[04:25] * Hatbot --> "Ithea rolls d20+42 and gets 51." [d20=9]
[04:25] <Kotono> As you go to cut the sand shark's fin off, you happen to glance down into the hole you cut into the slaad. In its exposed stomach, you catch sight of the image of a club.
06[04:27] * Ithea stops and points at the slaad shark's stomach. "Will you look at that," she comments.
[04:28] <Kotono> Sylvie and Balyss do just that! The former reaches in, taking the image - the head of a key with a club-top. Balyss makes a face, "I'm more disturbed at how we were supposed to get it. If we were much later, we'd have to go outhouse digging to find it."
[04:29] <Ithea> "Try not to think too much about it, that way leads into the demented slaad's mind, and can't be healthy," Ithea recommends.
[04:30] <Kotono> The key drips brown juices, Sylvie making her own face as a smell of waste and bile batters you. Her face scrunches up and she looks away, sticking her tongue out. "It may be what we were looking for, but hell and high water!" Going back towards the club-door, "Are we going to use this?"
[04:30] <Kotono> "We should have brought Simmer and 27. One to burn everything and the other to translate from lunacy-speak."
[04:30] <Kotono> OOC: Gah.
[04:31] <Kotono> "We should have brought Simmer and 27. One to burn everything and the other to translate from lunacy-speak." Balyss looks away from the entire thing a few moments, "Selune grants me the power to drive minds insane, as is the power of the moon, but this goes beyond mere madness."
[04:32] <Ithea> "Can't do anything about that, ticket in only allowed three according to Gisfal," Ithea says with a shrug. "Anyway, let's go ahead and try that club door since Sylvie already went to the trouble of digging it out."
06[04:33] * Ithea nods to Sylvie to put the key in and open the door.
[04:34] <Kotono> Thus the nasty club key is put into the club lock! The door opens! Ahead is a marble floor, clean and white with veins of black. Ahead is a burbling fountain, surrounded by greenery. A booming voice from above calls, "Brave champions, taste some of the waters of victory! You have come far, be rewarded!"
[04:35] <Ithea> "What do you guys think? Actual treasure, or trap?" Ithea asks, peeking in and casting detect magic as she eyes the fountain.
[04:35] <Kotono> The fountain radiates overwhelming magic! OOC: Spellcraft.
[04:36] <Ithea> roll d20+31
06[04:36] * Hatbot --> "Ithea rolls d20+31 and gets 48." [d20=17]
[04:36] <Kotono> "At this point, I have no idea. It may be neither," Sylvie admits, hand on a hip as Balyss comes up behind her. A quick tap on her shoulders brings healing to her frozen body!  OOC: Trading in divine power for CCW.
[04:36] <Kotono> roll 4d8+18 Sylvie healing
06[04:36] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 4d8+18 Sylvie healing and gets 39." [4d8=7, 4, 5, 5]
[04:38] <Kotono> "Thanks," Sylvie smiles at Balyss, who shakes her head and taps her holy symbol, "Thank her."
[04:40] <Ithea> "You still haven't told me what to do that's appropriate thanks for Selune for the tear and my not dying against evil undead dragons, you know," Ithea points out. "Anyway, the fountain is safe for one drink. Do not take two. Unless you want to melt from the inside out."
[04:40] <Kotono> Sylvie smiles a little bit, looking more bemused before leaning into the holy symbol, "Thank you, Selune." With a growing smirk, and tapping the holy symbol that hangs from Balyss's neck, "Say, Ithea, think Balyss would get more converts if she had prospective worshipers study at this particulary holy symbol?" That draws a blush and a look of pique from Balyss, who puts her hands on her hips
[04:40] <Kotono> and gives Sylvie a glare.
[04:40] <Kotono> That breaks that glare, Balyss looking to Ithea, "Damn, I forgot in everything that was going on. We'll talk about it later - melt from the inside out? What does one drink do?"
[04:41] <Ithea> "Increases an attribute permanently. I don't know if it's random, if we choose or what, but either way, it's beneficial. I don't suppose you have some bottles so we can take stuff with us for some of the others?" Ithea asks as she drops the hammer next to the fountain before leaning down to get a drink.
[04:42] <Kotono> OOC: roll 1d6
[04:42] <Ithea> roll d6
06[04:42] * Hatbot --> "Ithea rolls d6 and gets 3." [d6=3]
[04:42] <Kotono> Ithea drinks! The water is powerfully refreshing, restoring energy to her body! OOC: +1 con.
[04:43] <Kotono> "Afraid not," Sylvie says, shrugging and going to take a drink once Ithea doesn't explode or turn into a rainbow fish.
[04:43] <Kotono> roll 1d6
06[04:43] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d6 and gets 2." [1d6=2]
[04:43] <Ithea> "I feel a bit healthier after that," Ithea says, pleased. "More fortified."
[04:43] <Kotono> "Faster," Sylvie replies, "I can feel it in my bones."
[04:43] <Kotono> Balyss looks to the two, "Selune, just in case, protect me," she prays, before going for a drink.
[04:43] <Kotono> roll 1d6
06[04:43] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d6 and gets 6." [1d6=6]
[04:44] <Kotono> "I feel...more confident?" Balyss finally says, her voice a little stronger, more compelling. It's an obvious change to your ears.
[04:45] <Ithea> "You paused there, that doesn't sound very confident," Ithea teases.
[04:46] <Kotono> Balyss chuckles, as Sylvie rubs her chin, "You know, I do have a backup pair of gloves. I could get a draught in them and pinch them shut with a bit of twine, if you don't mind drinking from used gloves."
[04:47] <Ithea> "Hrm...that'd work. But hey, Sylvie, you know a lot of stuff, do you think you could possibly hollow out a vial or two out of that ice shark that we could fill and then plug, toss into the bag? Might be a bit better than the gloves, or maybe get a bit more of this magic water out of her that way," Ithea says.
[04:48] <Kotono> "I could, but assuming it's not magical ice, it'll melt in there," Sylvie says, "If we really want to get industrious we could try and make waterskins from the sandshark's organs. It would take some time, though, and be tough work."
[04:51] <Kotono> "The last time we lingered, we got a giant forge trying to kill us," Balyss points out, "We don't need magic water that bad."
[04:51] <Ithea> "I figured it was magical ice, it would have to melt from the friction of the sand, really. Hell, just to exist, it'd have to be magic. If it'll take time though, neither alternative's very good, we'll have to stick to the gloves," Ithea says, agreeing with Balyss.
[04:51] <Kotono> With that Sylvie takes out her reserve gloves and some twine, getting two glovefuls of water! Once done, tied and put away, "Shall we continue?"
06[04:52] * Ithea nods. "Let's," she says in agreement.
[04:53] <Kotono> Thus the threesome continue on! The door is opened, and ahead - is a curved spiral path going down, torches burning on the walls. It's a rather steep slope down, winding down and out of sight.
[04:55] <Ithea> "I will groan horribly if this turns into a slide," Ithea says as she moves forward, still dragging the hammer along the path downward, taking the lead still to spot anything dangerous first.
[04:56] <Kotono> "I'll kill him if it is," Balyss mutters as you walk down! AS soona s the party takes a few steps in, the door behind you slams shut! Then...WHAM! From above, just behind you, a huge boulder slams down, taking up all the hall, only 5ft behind you...and it's starting to roll down! Sylvie stares back, expressing everything in one succinct phrase, "It's not bullshit, it's slaadshit." She then whirls
[04:56] <Kotono> around and begins to run down, FAST!
[04:59] <Ithea> "It really is," Ithea says as she clicks her shoes together, raises the hammer and starts running with all haste.
[05:00] <Ithea> ooc: speed 70
[05:02] <Kotono> Ithea takes the lead, Sylvie not too far behind! Balyss meanwhile takes to the air, careening down the hall and bouncing off walls, but following! Quickly the boulder picks up speed as you race ahead, pursuing faster and faster! It's 15ft behind Balyss, 20ft behind Sylvie and 40ft behind Ithea! As you race down, ahead you see blades coming from the ceiling and roof, twin guillotine blades,
[05:02] <Kotono> slicing up and down in a steady pattern! Unless you move quick and dive through with good timing, you'll get cut up or stop and get crushed!
[05:04] <Ithea> "Oh, screw that," Ithea says, deciding to let the boulder take care of the traps, she yells at the others behind her, "I'm going to teleport us behind the boulder! Converge on me and as soon as you're touching me, I'll cast the spell!"
[05:04] <Kotono> "Got it!" Sylvie calls, sliding to a stop! AS the rumble of the boulder grows louder, rocketing down the two of you, Balyss bounces off a wall to the side and glomps onto Ithea, "DO IT! It's coming!"
06[05:06] * Ithea nods and immediately casts dimension door, teleporting them a fair distance behind the boulder, letting it crash through everything along the way and making the rest of their trip down a safer, and more importantly, less stressful endeavour.
[05:07] <Kotono> Thus the three teleport! ?You appear on ground crossed moments ago in haste, safe from the boulder! After a splits econd the rumbling stops, as Balyss exhales and lets go of Ithea. She smells of foul smoke, a reminder of previous trials. "Good thinking," she says, "Whew."
[05:07] <Kotono> A moment later, the rumbling resumes, growing louder! Down below, you can see the boulder rocketing back up! It isn't spinning downward, but flying straight at you at tremendous speeds! As it approaches, "CHEATERS PROSPER!" it howls, a voice coming from the sonic-fast rock hurtling at you!
[05:08] <Kotono> Balyss screams, a loud and girly scream!
[05:08] <Ithea> "...I officially hate that slaad," Ithea says flatly.
[05:09] <Kotono> Sylvie barely has time to throw up her guard, as the rock hurtles towards you...and steers away at the last second! A titanic impact with the wall 5ft ahead of you, to your left. A hole is now in that wall, the boulder gone! Within the hole you can see a small recess of some sort.
[05:10] <Kotono> "Seluneseluneseluneselune!" Balyss whimpers, clutching her holy symbol, eyes bugging out of her head as she stumbles back, falling onto her butt.
06[05:10] * Ithea pauses, and shares a confused glance with the other two. "I still hate that slaad."
[05:10] <Kotono> "So do I..." Sylvie takes a long, cooling breath, then several more. She hums softly before replying, "Alright, my center is back. Cheaters prosper?"
[05:11] <Kotono> Balyss shuts her eyes and breathes in and out rapidly, "Aaah...aaaah....aaaah...DID YOU SEE THAT?!" Balyss blurts, "The damn rock came back and SCREAMED at us!"
[05:12] <Ithea> "Worth keeping in mind," Ithea says with a nod as she calms back down. "And yes, we all saw that, Balyss. Now work off the shock, girl!"
06[05:13] * Ithea moves towards the recess opened by the boulder and peeks through.
[05:13] <Kotono> Sylvie goes and half drags, half helps Balyss up. Balyss looks shaky on her feet, holding her holy symbol like a ward a stuffed animal to hold the monsters beneath the bed at bay. "R-right....hole in the wall." She stumbles forward, "There's weapons in the hole!"
[05:14] <Kotono> Within the hole you see three divans. On each is a weapon. One is a heavy mace, one is a glaive and one is a pair of gloves.
[05:15] <Ithea> "...is it me, or are those kind of personalized to our tastes?" Ithea asks, as she casts detect magic.
[05:15] <Kotono> Sylvie heads in, picking up the gloves. They're gray in color, made of supple leather and studded with what looks to be iron and silver or mithral. "Just what I was thinking," Sylvie murmurs, "I think our host approved of your stunt."
[05:15] <Kotono> OOC: Spellcraft.
[05:15] <Ithea> roll d20+31
06[05:15] * Hatbot --> "Ithea rolls d20+31 and gets 35." [d20=4]
[05:18] <Kotono> The heavy mace is lightning purple, with designs of stormclouds on it. The glaive is a sharp glaive, sharp enough to cut stone and colored the same shade as Ithea's fur. The gloves are gloves+1, impact. They count as silver and cold iron to bypass damage reduction. The mace is a heavy mace+1, shocking and thundering. The glaive is a glaive+1, holy.
[05:19] <Ithea> "Hrm...extra pair of gloves..." Ithea muses briefly before shaking her head. "...No, he'll probably drop another boulder on us if we try to get more of the fountain water, I bet."
[05:19] <Kotono> "Boulder rain," Balyss shudders,
[05:19] <Kotono> OOC: Gah.
[05:19] <Kotono> "Boulder rain," Balyss shudders, "L-let's just bag it and keep going."
06[05:20] * Ithea nods, giving Sylvie space to grab everything. "Yeah, I think it's for the best. Let's keep going with our winnings so far and hurry onward before he tries to hit us with some other bit of madness."
03[05:22] * Yuthirin (~Yuthirin@c-71-57-26-119.hsd1.il.comcast.net) has joined #dunes
02[05:22] * Muirfinn (~Yuthirin@c-71-57-26-119.hsd1.il.comcast.net) Quit (Ping timeout)
[05:38] <Kotono> Down the trio goes! Past dozen sof broken blades, crushed crushers and uselessly expended, broken spears. After a goodly deal of walking you come to the bottom. There is but a single door here, engraved with golden writing above it, 'Grand Finale!'
[05:39] <Kotono> "How nice, a warning," Balyss says, still just a small hint of shakiness to her voice, "How bad could it be?"
[05:40] <Ithea> "Can't be any wor..." Ithea starts to say and stops. "You know what, let's just go see what's out there," she finally says as she goes to open the door.
[05:41] <Kotono> The door opens! Ahead is the blue, open sky and puffy clouds! A single, stone wrought stair ascends up and up and up, into the clouds above.
[05:44] <Ithea> "Lovely view," Ithea says flatly, before she starts climbing the stairs.
[05:45] <Kotono> "I hope our reward isn't to go to heaven - figuratively or literally." Sylvie's voice is just as flat.
[05:47] <Kotono> For some reason Balyss laughs and shakes her head, a blush coming to her cheeks. She takes up the rear, "Really, you've been out here far too long if you can say that, Sylvie."
[05:48] <Kotono> "I guess we're lucky. We've been to paradise." Sylvie admits as you climb up, "To be honest, I never thought all that much about the afterlife until..." She shrugs, "It existed and I was aware of it, but I was never all that pious."
[05:50] <Kotono> "That's a horrible attitude for someone who can call on the blessings of the Gods," Balyss isn't harsh with her words in tone, softer instead. Up and up and up and up and up you climb, higher and higher! Ahead, far up, you can see some sort of stone platform through the clouds, the stairs going to it.
[05:51] <Kotono> "I worship Oghma in my own way," Sylvie's retort comes quickly as she looks up, "See that up there?" After a beat, "Besides, I paid attention to you and Andrea a bit and I figured out the trick to it. It's really not that hard."
[05:51] <Ithea> "Looks like we're almost there," Ithea says, speeding up slightly in her steps.
[05:55] <Kotono> "Right," Balyss says as she looks up as well, sparing a moment ot give Sylvie a dirty look. Thus yo ureach the top! The platform is a 50ft in diameter circle, undecorated. Just a stone slab floating in the air. The sides have a few pillars about, but are otherwise wide open! As you step onto it the stairway behind you fades away! From above a titanic voice thunders, "Let the festival of death
[05:55] <Kotono> begin!" AT that, 20ft away in the center of the circle? An oversized tiger with fangs and horns appears, snarling! Behind it is a man in full plate armor, brandishing a greataxe! Above them, floating in the air, is a small, rainbow colored bird! At this Sylvie falls into a fighting stance, on guard, "C'mon, if it's another fight he wants, let's showthem why we got this far!"
[05:55] <Kotono> OOC: Init here.
[05:55] <Kotono> OOC: 15 and 0.

[05:58] <Kotono> OOC: Open Ithea.
[06:01] <Ithea> Channeling the power of chaos for a bit more extra push in this fight, Ithea then attacks the armored warrior first.

06[06:01] * Hatbot --> "Ithea rolls d10 chaos devotion and gets 9." [d10=9]

[06:04] <Kotono> roll 1d20+20 AC vs Balyss
06[06:04] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+20 AC vs Balyss and gets 25." [1d20=5]
[06:05] <Kotono> It moves incredibly fast, before anyone can react, even Ithea! It's there and back in a second, but not a peck made it past Balyss's shield, raised up preternaturally fast, as if anticipating! Then before anything else can happen, the dire tiger pounces right at Ithea! OOC: You have reach on it and can AoO, Ithea.
[06:05] <Ithea> ooc: is it charging out of curiosity?
[06:05] <Kotono> OOC: Yes.
[06:05] <Ithea> ooc: glee

06[06:06] * Hatbot --> "Ithea rolls 2d10+80 (double damage due to auto-set enchantment vs charging opponents) and gets 86." [2d10=5, 1]
[06:07] <Kotono> Ithea impales the tiger, running it through the chest up to the hilt of her glaive - but it doesn't stop it, as it attempts to savage Ithea!
[06:07] <Kotono> roll 1d20+22 (+2 charge) claw
[06:07] <Kotono> roll 1d20+22 (+2 charge) claw

06[06:07] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+16 bite and gets 22." [1d20=6]
[06:08] <Kotono> But not a single blow can touch her, the tiger held at bay! Smoothly Sylvie steps in, going to assail it from its impaled side!

[06:09] <Kotono> Already impaled and half dead, the tiger's neck is cleanly snapped with one chop! As that happens, a wind begins to blow, north to south! It's heavy, picking up speed rapidly! Not enough to do anything, but if it keeps getting faster...! OOC: Balyss.

[06:12] <Kotono> "It's just a bird," Balyss shakes her head, before stopping, "What am I saying?! It's probably a shapechanged demon or dragon! Selune, give me you rpower!" At this Balyss lifs into the air, arching back! Golden light and ribbons surround her, as her skin becomes metallic silver, shining like moonlight! She spins in the air once as a halo appears over her head and a glow radiates off her body!
[06:12] <Kotono> OOC: Greater Visage of the Deity. Lasts for 18 rounds. ???? is up.
[06:12] <Ithea> "No, I think it's just a bird," Ithea says at that. "I mean look how long the overgrown cat and tin can lasted!"
[06:15] <Kotono> At this more appear! Two appear, one 20ft straight above you and one opposite it, above the stone slab on the other end! Loathesomely ugly, nude women who turn into birds from the waist down! They each hold a bow that crackles with frost, arrows nocked at the party! In the center of the slab, just under the rainbow bird, a shadow appears. It looks like a man, but is completely black and empty,
[06:15] <Kotono> the sunlight shying away from it! OOC: Adding to init.

[06:27] <Kotono> A trio of arrows slams into Ithea, shallow wounds that are more freezing bruises than real injuries! Then the rainbow bird is at it again in the winds, darting forward and trying to peck Sylvie this time!
[06:27] <Kotono> roll 1d20+20
06[06:27] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+20 and gets 21." [1d20=1]
[06:28] <Kotono> But Sylvie easily sidesteps as the bird darts back! She follows it and zooms past it, going for the harpy archer with a determined focus on her face, delivering one big punch!
[06:28] <Kotono> roll 1d20+34 (+2 charge)
06[06:28] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+34 (+2 charge) and gets 37." [1d20=3]

06[06:28] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 3d10+23 and gets 38." [3d10=7, 2, 6]
[06:29] <Kotono> A solid blow gets the harpy in the stomach, before the winds pick up! Suddenly it is a tornado force gale, blowing at the three - and not even touching the monsters! OOC: Reflex saves, all. -5 for Sylvie since she's airborn. Evasion doesn't matter here, so don't bother to note it.
[06:29] <Kotono> roll 1d20+30 (-5 airborne, +12 inspiration 9/10 she doesn't like where this is going)
06[06:29] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+30 (-5 airborne, +12 inspiration 9/10 she doesn't like where this is going) and gets 36." [1d20=6]

06[06:30] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+18 (+2 foresight, +1 greater visage) and gets 22." [1d20=4]
[06:31] <Kotono> Ithea is blasted by the wind, knocked prone as she rolls with it! So is Sylvie, forced down and onto her stomach as she holds on for dear life! Despite being prone they are able to hold on...but not Balyss, who is sent careering down off the ledge and out of sight! (More, this resolves on her turn and she's next.)
[06:32] <Kotono> roll 1d20+18
06[06:32] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+18 and gets 37." [1d20=19]

[06:32] <Kotono> OOC: 15 damage to Balyss.
[06:33] <Kotono> A moment later Balyss reappears, several small, bleeding wounds all over her body! She lies prone where she is, dazed a moment! OOC: That eats up her turn.  ??? is up.
[06:33] <Kotono> "Hell!" Balyss gasps, "Don't fall off the ledges, it takes you to Hell!"
[06:35] <Ithea> Ithea's eyes widen, and then narrow. "Like hell it does! This is still Limbo, it's just one of that slaad's tricks...though I'm sure that doesn't change that it'll suck," Ithea admits, observing the wounds on Balyss.
[06:35] <Kotono> Meanwhile, in the center of the circle there is a shimmering! What appears there is a black hooded figure, clad in black robes! His entire features are hidden! In the air directly above you, it appears with a tremendous roar! A creature so huge it casts the entire platform into shadows! A dragon red as lava, roar loud enough to momentarily deafen you! OOC: Adding to init.
[06:35] <Kotono> roll 1d20+9 cultist
06[06:35] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+9 cultist and gets 28." [1d20=19]

[06:37] <Kotono> OOC: You're safe.
[06:37] <Kotono> OOC: Go Ithea.

[06:38] <Ithea> roll d10 chaos devotion
06[06:38] * Hatbot --> "Ithea rolls d10 chaos devotion and gets 4." [d10=4]
06[06:42] * Ithea frowns and sacrificing some of her other spells, she channels lightning through her glaive and fires it at the dragon, enhancing the magic of the spell with all the charges of her ring! (ooc: expending three charges from ring to add +4d6 lightning damage)
[06:42] <Kotono> OOC: Okay. Staying prone?
[06:43] <Ithea> ooc: oh wait, standing first.
[06:43] <Kotono> OOC: You'll provoke an AoO from the dragon if you stand up. You okay with that?
[06:43] <Ithea> ooc: I'll provoke it, sure.
[06:43] <Kotono> As Ithea rises, the claw of the dragon comes barreling down at Ithea, looking to rip her apart!
[06:43] <Kotono> roll 1d20+43 AC?
06[06:43] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+43 AC? and gets 55." [1d20=12]

06[06:47] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+16 harpy and gets 29." [1d20=13]
[06:47] <Kotono> The main blast of lightning fizzles out against the dragon, the bird likewise untouched! Lesser bolts arch to the cultist and harpy, who both largely avoid them! OOC: Cultist.
[06:47] <Kotono> The hooded man says nothing, but merely stares at Ithea! OOC: Fort.
[06:48] <Ithea> roll d20+27

[06:48] <Kotono> OOC: No, Su.
[06:48] <Ithea> ooc: alright
[06:48] <Kotono> Myriad cuts and scratches appear all over Ithea's body, springing into being! Blood trickles down from above her eye, going down her face! OOC: Harpy 2.
[06:49] <Kotono> Meanwhile the harpy changes targets, holding position as Sylvie gets her fair share of arrows!
[06:49] <Kotono> roll 1d20+26
[06:49] <Kotono> roll 1d20+26
[06:49] <Kotono> roll 1d20+21

[06:49] <Kotono> roll 1d20+16
06[06:49] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+16 and gets 18." [1d20=2]
[06:50] <Kotono> But not a single arrow hits, Sylvie prone and able to roll out of the way of the closest! Meanwhile the Rainbow Bird flies out in a blur, this time at Balyss again!
[06:50] <Kotono> roll 1d20+20
06[06:50] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+20 and gets 36." [1d20=16]

06[06:51] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+18 half and gets 35." [1d20=17]
[06:51] <Kotono> Abruptly acid appears all over Balyss a moment after the peck, but just before that! Balyss' eyes widen, "Selune, guide me!" she cries, rolling to the side even as the acid forms around her, dodging it by a split second! OOC: Okay. Red dragon is up.
[06:53] <Kotono> The dragon flies around in a circle, vast bulk bringing night to the circle! It looks round and round, before focusing on Ithea! It rears back, a massive torrent of flames erupting out for her! OOC: Ref.
[06:53] <Ithea> roll d20+25 evasion
06[06:53] * Hatbot --> "Ithea rolls d20+25 evasion and gets 45." [d20=20]
[06:54] <Kotono> But Ithea dives forward, with all her speed! The edge of the circle she was lying by is now vaporized, superheated into nothingness! But she's safe, just barely! OOC: Close call. Sylvie.
[06:55] <Kotono> Grunting with effort, Sylvie springs to her feet! The dragon's claw lashes out at this chance!
[06:55] <Kotono> roll 1d20+43
06[06:55] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+43 and gets 49." [1d20=6]

06[06:55] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 2d8+14 ow and gets 22." [2d8=4, 4]
[06:56] <Kotono> Sylvie gets clawed, rolling with it as she manages to get up! Turning her attention to the dragon, she points at it after a moment of concentration ,a corscuating black beam going right for it! OOC: Enervation+assay SR.
[06:57] <Kotono> roll 1d20+30 SR

[06:58] <Kotono> The beam hits the dragon, withering his body down and robbing it of osme of the majestic might of dragonkind! As this happens the winds slacken off, dying down! At the same time, the air starts to get hotter and hotter! OOC: Balyss.
[06:59] <Kotono> Lying prone, Balyss does not try and get up. With a still dazed grin, "Guess I gotta do some good work on my back," she declares, beginning to whisper! Disquieting, horrible whispers, ones that make Ithea feel queasy!
[07:00] <Kotono> roll 1d20+18 SR
06[07:00] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+18 SR and gets 34." [1d20=16]

[07:11] <Kotono> The great red dragon whirls on Sylvie, rearing its head back before unleashing a torrent of hellish fire at her, barely giving a chance to dodge!

[07:16] <Kotono> roll 10d8 fire damage, halve this, resistance applies
06[07:16] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 10d8 fire damage, halve this, resistance applies and gets 36." [10d8=2, 4, 3, 6, 7, 6, 1, 3, 1, 3]
[07:16] <Ithea> ooc: no damage if all of us halve that~
[07:17] <Kotono> But properly warded and protected, the heat does little more than claw at the heroines futilely! OOC: Vine 2.
[07:17] <Kotono> Meanwhile the second vine slithers forward, barely notice and lashing at Sylvie's foot!
[07:17] <Ithea> "Damn crazy weather!" Ithea exclaims. "What's next, snow?"
[07:17] <Kotono> roll 1d20+29 (+0 smite law)
06[07:17] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+29 (+0 smite law) and gets 30." [1d20=1]
[07:18] <Kotono> But the vine misaims, hitting the ground next to Sylvie instead! OOC: BAlyss.
03[07:18] * Kotono changes topic to 'Ithea(34)>Rainbow Bird(26)>Red Dragon(21, -4 levels)>Sylvie(18)Weather(15)Vine 2(13)>Balyss(9)>????(0)'
[07:18] <Kotono> Balyss bows her head, continuing to whisper!
[07:18] <Kotono> roll 1d20+18 SR
06[07:18] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+18 SR and gets 35." [1d20=17]
[07:18] <Kotono> roll 1d20+23 vs 26 dragon
06[07:18] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+23 vs 26 dragon and gets 39." [1d20=16]
[07:18] <Kotono> roll 1d20+13 birdie
06[07:18] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+13 birdie and gets 22." [1d20=9]
03[07:19] * Kotono changes topic to 'Ithea(34)>Rainbow Bird(26; panicked)>Red Dragon(21, -4 levels)>Sylvie(18)Weather(15)Vine 2(13)>Balyss(9)>????(0)'
[07:19] <Kotono> A shrill caw of boredom comes from the Rainbow Bird, expressing pure panic unmistakably! At this point no more monsters seem to come - but instead the temperature plunges downwards rapidly! OOC: Go Ithea.
[07:20] <Kotono> OOC: Also +2 to her DCs, forgot. Don't think it changed anything, though.
06[07:24] * Ithea gives a small sigh of relief at that. Sensing the pattern with the weather, Ithea dashes towards Sylvie, and slaps a resist energy spell on herself and Sylvie. Balyss should be able to shoulder the cold a bit better than them, and she's unfortunately not within reach to catch with the spell as well. (OOC: I'll tumble if I'd provoke AoO from vine otherwise)
[07:24] <Kotono> OOC: The dragon too. Tumble.
[07:25] <Ithea> roll d20+37+3 tumble+inspiration because OW if dragon hits
06[07:25] * Hatbot --> "Ithea rolls d20+37+3 tumble+inspiration because OW if dragon hits and gets 46." [d20=6]
[07:25] <Kotono> OOC: No joy ont he dragon's CMD.
[07:25] <Kotono> As Ithea runs forward, the dragon's claw lashes out for her!
[07:25] <Kotono> roll 1d20+39 (-4 negative levels)
06[07:25] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+39 (-4 negative levels) and gets 55." [1d20=16]
[07:25] <Ithea> ooc: that hits
[07:26] <Kotono> roll 2d8+14 ow
06[07:26] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 2d8+14 ow and gets 23." [2d8=6, 3]
[07:26] <Kotono> Ithea gets a claw across her back, but she reaches her goal and enchants the both of them safely! At this the rainbow bird takes off and away, fleeing in panic! OOC: DRagon.
03[07:26] * Kotono changes topic to 'Ithea(34)>Red Dragon(21, -4 levels)>Sylvie(18)Weather(15)Vine 2(13)>Balyss(9)>????(0)'
[07:27] <Kotono> The dragon whirls 'round on the two, before breathing a blast of pure melting fire as thet clustered Sylvie and Ithea!
[07:27] <Kotono> OOC: Ref you two.
[07:27] <Ithea> roll d20+25+7 evasion+inspiration
06[07:27] * Hatbot --> "Ithea rolls d20+25+7 evasion+inspiration and gets 36." [d20=4]

06[07:27] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+35 (+12 inspiration 7/10 she has a baaaad feeling about this after seeing what it did to that stone) and gets 54." [1d20=19]
[07:28] <Kotono> Both women leap apart, like syncronized dancers! They avoid the flame, perfectly in tandem! "That's it!" Sylvie grins suddenly, "Just like that, Ithea!" OOC: Okay, Sylvie's up.
[07:29] <Kotono> Sylvie turns, taking a moment to stomp that damn vine out!
[07:29] <Kotono> roll 1d20+32
[07:29] <Kotono> roll 1d20+32
06[07:29] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+32 and gets 51." [1d20=19]
06[07:29] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+32 and gets 34." [1d20=2]
[07:29] <Kotono> roll 1d20+27

[07:29] <Kotono> roll 1d20+22
06[07:29] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+22 and gets 38." [1d20=16]
[07:29] <Ithea> "The graceful blow girls would be jealous," Ithea says, grinning back, even though she was just raked along the back by that dragon getting there.
[07:29] <Kotono> roll 1d20+17
06[07:29] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+17 and gets 25." [1d20=8]

03[07:29] * Kotono changes topic to 'Ithea(34)>Red Dragon(21, -4 levels)>Sylvie(18)Weather(15)>Balyss(9)>????(0)'
[07:30] <Kotono> The vine is crushed, withering away under massively impactful bootings! "They wou-" Sylvie begins, as it is suddenly ice cold, sucking the air out of your lungs! OOC: Fort all.
[07:30] <Kotono> roll 1d20+28 fortitude Sylvie
06[07:30] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+28 fortitude Sylvie and gets 43." [1d20=15]
[07:30] <Ithea> roll d20+27
06[07:30] * Hatbot --> "Ithea rolls d20+27 and gets 47." [d20=20]

06[07:30] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+24 (+2 greater visage) Balyss and gets 28." [1d20=4]
[07:31] <Kotono> roll 10d8 cold damage, Balyss full and you two halve. Cold res applies. Balyss has cold res...15.
06[07:31] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 10d8 cold damage, Balyss full and you two halve. Cold res applies. Balyss has cold res...15. and gets 41." [10d8=4, 7, 4, 1, 5, 1, 6, 8, 4, 1]
[07:32] <Kotono> The bitter cold turns the air full of gusting snow, hints of an ice and snow storm starting up with a howling wind! The red dragon doesn't even look remotely bothered by it! Balyss meanwhile screams over it, "We need to end this! The weather's out of cont-control!"
[07:32] <Kotono> OOC: Spekaing of, she's up.
[07:32] <Ithea> "Just one left!" Ithea yells over the howling wind back at Balyss.
[07:34] <Kotono> "On it!" Balyss draws circlets and patterns in the air, forming a radiant moon! From this a lance of pur elight erupts out, soaring to the red dragon!
[07:34] <Kotono> roll 1d20 touch AC so really only a 1 botches this
06[07:34] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20 touch AC so really only a 1 botches this and gets 7." [1d20=7]
[07:34] <Kotono> roll 1d20+18 SR
06[07:34] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+18 SR and gets 23." [1d20=5]
[07:35] <Kotono> The Lucent Lance flies at the dragon...but sputters out entirely, coming to naught! Then the howling winds and bitter cold take all of you, a sudden blizzard ice storm! OOC: Fort save all and a ref save. Evasion doesn't apply here.
[07:35] <Kotono> roll 1d20+28 fort Sylvie
06[07:35] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+28 fort Sylvie and gets 37." [1d20=9]

06[07:36] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 10d8 cold damage, all of you halve this. and gets 58." [10d8=5, 2, 2, 7, 7, 7, 8, 8, 8, 4]
[07:38] <Kotono> The winds blow massively, freezign you solid and knocking you down! Sylvie and Ithea are knocked prone, but at least no one is blown off this time, holding onto the circle for dear life! Abruptly the blizzard ends, the sound of thunder and lightning beginning not a second later! OOC: Ithea, go.
[07:38] <Kotono> OOC: To be clear, both you and Sylvie are prone again.
[07:38] <Ithea> roll d10 chaos
06[07:38] * Hatbot --> "Ithea rolls d10 chaos and gets 8." [d10=8]
[07:39] <Ithea> ooc: using inspiration point to add int to AC
[07:39] <Kotono> "This is getting as vicious as the Bitter Black Bitch herself!" Balyss screams!
[07:39] <Kotono> OOC: Okay.
06[07:40] * Ithea stands up, and then holds her action for a moment. "As soon as you stand, Sylvie, I'm teleporting us onto his back," Ithea says, loud enough for Sylvie to hear over the thunder, and hopefully not loud enough for the dragon to hear.
[07:41] <Kotono> OOC: Okay. AoO from standing, as I'm sure you were anticipating.
[07:41] <Kotono> roll 1d20+39 AC?
06[07:41] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+39 AC? and gets 41." [1d20=2]
[07:41] <Ithea> ooc: AC 58 right now
[07:41] <Ithea> ooc: You goddamn sonnuvabitch Hatbot, making the 2 -now- instead of when I couldn't do shit to dodge.
[07:41] <Ithea> ooc: teasebot
[07:41] <Kotono> This time Ithea is ready, able to anticipate and dodge the blow quickly! OOC: Okayo. Dragon.
[07:42] <Kotono> With Sylvie and Ithea so convienently together, the dragon turns around and breath-blasts them again! OOC: Ref.
[07:42] <Ithea> roll d20+25
06[07:42] * Hatbot --> "Ithea rolls d20+25 and gets 45." [d20=20]
[07:42] <Kotono> roll 1d20+35 (+12 inspiration 6/10 she has a baaaad feeling about this after seeing what it did to that stone)
06[07:42] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+35 (+12 inspiration 6/10 she has a baaaad feeling about this after seeing what it did to that stone) and gets 41." [1d20=6]
[07:43] <Kotono> Again the two dodge - Sylvie rolls aside into a cartwheel, while Ithea rolls back with the flames, an inch away from them but just barely out of range! OOC: Sylvie'sup.
[07:43] <Kotono> Sylvie begins to stand up...OOC: AoOed.
[07:43] <Kotono> roll 1d20+39
06[07:43] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+39 and gets 57." [1d20=18]
[07:43] <Kotono> roll 2d8+14
06[07:43] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 2d8+14 and gets 19." [2d8=1, 4]
[07:43] <Kotono> She gets a fierce clawing for her efforts as she manages to stand! OOC: Ithea?
06[07:43] * Ithea teleports Sylvie and herself even as her friend gets slashed, reappearing on the dragon's back!
[07:44] <Ithea> "Let's see how he likes it when we're up close and personal..."
[07:44] <Kotono> You reappear atop the dragon's back! Sylvie takes this chance to stomp down, even as you see above! You're just 5ft below huge stormclouds, cracklign with lightning! You can smellt he ozone, your fur and Sylvie's hair going straight out and up!
[07:44] <Kotono> roll 1d20+32
06[07:44] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+32  and gets 41." [1d20=9]
[07:45] <Kotono> roll 3d10+23
06[07:45] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 3d10+23 and gets 38." [3d10=2, 4, 9]
[07:46] <Kotono> CRACK! A soldi blow on a scale line cracks it open, a small trickle of blood welling out after! Sylvie looks up and stares, "Oh..." The next few words are obscene and unpleasant, commenting on the parentage of slaads and wondering who had such a bright idea to come up here! Then, "Just kill the damn dragon QUICK!" OOC: Weather.
[07:46] <Kotono> Abruptly all the wrath of the thundering heavens is directed at Sylvie and Ithea, massive lightning and bursting thunder! OOC: Reflex saves, you two.
[07:47] <Kotono> roll 1d20+28 Sylvie hopes for a good roll!
06[07:47] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+28 Sylvie hopes for a good roll! and gets 32." [1d20=4]
[07:47] <Ithea> roll d20+25 evasion
06[07:47] * Hatbot --> "Ithea rolls d20+25 evasion and gets 44." [d20=19]

06[07:47] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 10d6+10d6 Sylvie, plus she's deafened and gets 76." [10d6=3, 5, 3, 4, 6, 4, 3, 1, 5, 1][10d6=5, 1, 4, 4, 6, 2, 3, 6, 5, 5]
[07:47] <Kotono> OOC: Lightning and sonic damage, respectively.
[07:48] <Kotono> Amid the howling maelstrom of the storm, you can't even see or hear below as...
[07:48] <Kotono> roll 1d20 touch
06[07:48] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20 touch and gets 5." [1d20=5]
[07:48] <Kotono> roll 1d20+18 SR
06[07:48] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+18 SR and gets 26." [1d20=8]
[07:49] <Kotono> OOC: -5 from sylvie's roll there, used fort instead. She failed anyway so this is academic.
[07:49] <Kotono> Meanwhile the weather turns! The clouds are gathering, gaining more lightning, gathering for something huge! OOC: Ithea, go.
06[07:50] * Ithea winces as she briefly sees Sylvie's skeleton light up as she's struck by lightning, but she focuses on attacking the dragon full-out.
[07:50] <Ithea> roll d10 chaos
06[07:50] * Hatbot --> "Ithea rolls d10 chaos and gets 9." [d10=9]

[07:55] <Ithea> ooc: did I get vampiric touch to hit? And does holy apply?
[07:56] <Kotono> Ithea leaps up, lightning crackling around her as she plunges down! Like a lance she pierces throught he dragon's scales, plunging deeper! Through the magma-burning heart she rips, coming out the bottom - and then, in an instant. You stand before Aurora. Balyss and Sylvie are with you, and just before the gates is a heavy looking treasure chest. You're right back where you started before breaking
[07:56] <Kotono> the six sided object!
[07:56] <Kotono> Sylvie smokes and smoulders, falling to a knee, "Damn!"
[07:56] <Kotono> Balyss is still on her back, at last sitting up, "We won?"
[07:57] <Ithea> "Oh thank god, I almost suspected we'd have to deal with a Tiamat-powered zombie dragon after that," Ithea says as she slides to the ground and spreads on the ground staring into the sky. "That last challenge was a goddamn gauntlet."
[07:58] <Ithea> Her eyes quickly widen, and she turns towards Sylvie and slaps her with some healing, given she got toasted thanks to her!
[07:58] <Ithea> roll 4d8+18
06[07:58] * Hatbot --> "Ithea rolls 4d8+18 and gets 46." [4d8=7, 5, 8, 8]
[07:58] <Kotono> "A hellish, weather hating gauntlet made by an insane slaad," Sylvie flops onto her stomach, "You know, that was for someone he invited to the entire thing, wasn't it? I don't want to see what he does to uninivited guests." A sigh follows after that, "Thanks."
[07:59] <Kotono> "A slaad. Don't be redundant," Balyss groans, as the magic of her transformation leaves her. She sits up, "Let's get this inside and go rest. WE can get Elena to bring us some refreshments and we can celebrate."
[08:00] <Kotono> Sylvie slaps the side of her head, quickly mouthing healing words. "Better. My hearing was mostly gone after that lightning clap," she says.
[08:00] <Kotono> OOC: That good here?
[08:00] <Ithea> "Let's have a small party, yeah," Ithea says with cheer as she eyes the chest, wondering what it holds on top of what they'd already looted.
[08:01] <Ithea> ooc: Yes, more than good. I've been on fumes for past hour. Sleeeeeepy~
[08:01] <Ithea> roll 10d6 holy
06[08:01] * Hatbot --> "Ithea rolls 10d6 holy and gets 31." [10d6=1, 1, 5, 3, 3, 5, 3, 4, 2, 4]
