[Yuthirin]

[17:28] <@Kotono> OOC: Are y'all ready to move along?
[17:29] <Fiora> OOC: y
[17:29] <Chloe> OOC: sure
[17:31] <@Kotono> OOC: Note that as you guys didn't have uninterrupted rest, your arcane spells have not recovered as normal. That said, are you all going to move on now that it's dawn or do something else?
[17:32] <Hamish> OOC: As casters, we need sleep
[17:32] <Chloe> OOC: I'm all for resting. >_>
[17:32] <Iris> OOC: that!
[17:33] <Fiora> OOC: Im fine, but sure.
[17:33] <@Kotono> OOC: ARe you guys going to keep a watch then?
[17:33] <Chloe> OOC: who wants to go first? I will if no one else wants to
[17:34] <Hamish> OOC: Good deal, I'll take second, even though my Spot is laughable
[17:35] <@Kotono> OOC: Okay then.
[17:35] <@Kotono> roll 1d100
[17:35] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d100 and gets 69." [1d100=69]
[17:38] <@Kotono> Soon the rest of the party is asleep. Chloe lingers awake, and as she does, 'Chloe,' Siri is heard in your head, 'I remembered something. Have you heard the one about the nun, the cucumber and the tarrasque?'
[17:38] * Chloe raises an eyebrow. "I can't say I have." She leans back against the wheel of the cart. "Tell me, then."
[17:40] <@Kotono> OOC: Make a listen check in the meanwhile?
[17:41] <Chloe> roll 1d20+10 Listen
[17:41] * Hatbot --> "Chloe rolls 1d20+10 Listen and gets 19." [1d20=9]
[17:42] <@Kotono> From ahead, Chloe hears the sound of a twig breaking, sharp and sudden. 'Well,' Siri begins in the meatime, 'So one day the nun found a cucumber under her bed...'
[17:43] * Chloe stands up, peering into the dark. She calls out loudly, trying to wake her companions. "Who goes there?"
[17:46] <@Kotono> Coming out of the forest ahead as the party just begins to stir is a woman. She isn't wearing anything except a sensual smile. Unfortunately, she carries a club bigger than she is! It's decorated with skulls all over, as her smile becomes nasty, "Hello! You're new around here! I don't like civilized types around here! Those that refuse to embrace the natural order will be smitten!"
[17:48] * Fiora starts to blink awake as she hears voices, especially Chloe's raised voice, "Please tell me that lizard isn't back again..."
[17:48] * Hamish sits up, eyes wild. "God dammit can't a man get some DECENT SLEEP IN THIS FUCKING PLANE JUST ONCE!"
[17:49] * Chloe sighs. "I think your ass is a little too fat to be prancing around in the nude."
[17:49] <Chloe> "Be a dear and go find some clothes first. *Then* I'll fry you to a crisp."
[17:51] * Iris sits up, calmly assesses their visitor: "This is a new look for Ysgard." She does not sound greatly surprised.
[17:51] * Chloe pauses for a moment. "And shouldn't that be
[17:51] * Hamish points at the woman. "GO AWAY. NOBODY LIKES YOU!"
[17:51] <Chloe> 'smote'?"
[17:52] <@Kotono> "You...!?!?" The woman twitches violently, before letting out an blood curdling stream and pouncing at Chloe! OOC: Init. Nice job escalating.
[17:52] <Chloe> roll 1d20+7 init
[17:52] * Hatbot --> "Chloe rolls 1d20+7 init and gets 24." [1d20=17]
[17:52] <Iris> roll 1d20+11
[17:52] * Hatbot --> "Iris rolls 1d20+11 and gets 20." [1d20=9]
[17:53] <@Kotono> roll 1d20+10 club woman
[17:53] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+10 club woman and gets 29." [1d20=19]
[17:53] <Fiora> roll 1d20+1 init
[17:53] * Hatbot --> "Fiora rolls 1d20+1 init and gets 4." [1d20=3]
[17:53] * Kotono changes topic to 'Club Woman(29)>Chloe(24)>Iris(20)>Fiora(4)'
[17:53] <Hamish> roll 1d20+12
[17:53] * Hatbot --> "Hamish rolls 1d20+12 and gets 20." [1d20=8]
[17:53] * Kotono changes topic to 'Club Woman(29)>Chloe(24)>Hamish=Iris(20)>Fiora(4)'
[17:55] <@Kotono> OOC: Oh right, Morana's not here yet. Someone roll for her real quick?
[17:55] <Iris> roll 1d20+1 Morana
[17:55] * Hatbot --> "Iris rolls 1d20+1 Morana and gets 2." [1d20=1]
[17:56] * Kotono changes topic to 'Club Woman(29)>Chloe(24)>Hamish=Iris(20)>Fiora(4)>Morana(2)'
[17:57] <@Kotono> As the woman pounce at Chloe, she screams again! It's a scream of pure rage, spreading out the party! OOC: Will saves, all.
[17:57] <Iris> roll 1d20+9
[17:57] * Hatbot --> "Iris rolls 1d20+9 and gets 20." [1d20=11]
[17:57] <Hamish> roll 1d20+11
[17:57] * Hatbot --> "Hamish rolls 1d20+11 and gets 12." [1d20=1]
[17:57] <Iris> roll 1d20+11 and Morana
[17:57] * Hatbot --> "Iris rolls 1d20+11 and Morana and gets 24." [1d20=13]
[17:58] <Fiora> roll 1d20+10 will. Immune to fear if this is a fear effect
[17:58] * Hatbot --> "Fiora rolls 1d20+10 will. Immune to fear if this is a fear effect and gets 18." [1d20=8]
[18:00] <Chloe> roll 1d20+8 will
[18:00] * Hatbot --> "Chloe rolls 1d20+8 will and gets 12." [1d20=4]
[18:00] <@Kotono> The sound brings fear to the party, fear and rage that blankets the thoughts and cloaks the mind! OOC: Shaken and Raging for Hamish, Chloe and Fiora. See #elysium for details. Fiora negates the shaken part but it still raged. More for her.
[18:00] <@Kotono> Closing in, she brings up her oversized club for one titanic blow!
[18:00] <@Kotono> roll 1d20+10 (+2 charge, -5 PA) flatfooted AC, Chloe?
[18:00] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+10 (+2 charge, -5 PA) flatfooted AC, Chloe? and gets 13." [1d20=3]
[18:01] <Chloe> OOC: 17
[18:01] <Chloe> OOC: Wait, -2 f
[18:01] <Chloe> OOC: so 15
[18:01] <@Kotono> But Chloe is fast enough to dodge, avoiding the massive blow with a quick sidestep! OOC: Okay. Chloe.
[18:03] * Chloe snarls as lightning dances on her fingertips, "Only a shameless HUSSY prances around, baring to the world what only her husband should see!" A bolt of lightning surges forth!
[18:03] <Chloe> roll 9d6 damage, Lightning Bolt
[18:03] * Hatbot --> "Chloe rolls 9d6 damage, Lightning Bolt and gets 43." [9d6=5, 1, 6, 6, 6, 5, 6, 2, 6]
[18:03] <@Kotono> OOC: Uh, no. You're raged as the rage spell. That means you can't cast magic.
[18:04] <Chloe> OOC: What?The link doesn't say I can't cast spells
[18:04] <Hamish> OOC: Read whole link dood
[18:06] <@Kotono> OOC: Okay, line scratched. Go Chloe.
[18:06] * Chloe snarls as she grips her trusty smashing hammer, Ukonsvara, and deals the naked hussy a fierce blow!
[18:06] <Chloe> roll 1d20+11 Hammer of Doom
[18:06] * Hatbot --> "Chloe rolls 1d20+11 Hammer of Doom and gets 22." [1d20=11]
[18:06] <@Kotono> OOC: Hit.
[18:06] <Chloe> roll 2d4+3 damage
[18:06] * Hatbot --> "Chloe rolls 2d4+3 damage and gets 5." [2d4=1, 1]
[18:07] <@Kotono> Chloe strikes back! The blow hits dead on, but the woman's body is hard as stone, resisting the blow well! OOC: Okay. Hamish and Iris. Go.
[18:07] <Hamish> "NYARRR!" Hamish cries, spraying spittle everywhere as he rolls over and hides underneath the covers! Maybe the crazy naked weirdo will leave him alone if he hides!
[18:09] * Iris casts an enchantment to boost the agility of her and her companions--then scurries away from the barbarian as fast as her feet can take her! (OOC: haste is up)
[18:10] <@Kotono> OOC: Okay. Fiora, go.
[18:12] <Fiora> As the rage washes over her....Fiora's hand does not go for Skyrose. Even in such a state, her honor will not allow her to stain that sacred blade by wielding it in anger. Instead her hand closes around the hilt of that strange club....and she launches from her spot on the ground to attack the woman who forced this rage upon her.
[18:12] <Fiora> roll 1d20+11+1 join the club
[18:12] * Hatbot --> "Fiora rolls 1d20+11+1 join the club and gets 20." [1d20=8]
[18:13] <Fiora> (OOC: that is counting both rage and haste)
[18:13] <@Kotono> OOC: Hit.
[18:13] <Fiora> roll 1d10+4 CLUB
[18:13] * Hatbot --> "Fiora rolls 1d10+4 CLUB and gets 5." [1d10=1]
[18:14] <@Kotono> OOC: Make a quick cha check.
[18:14] <Fiora> roll 1d20+3 cha
[18:14] * Hatbot --> "Fiora rolls 1d20+3 cha and gets 6." [1d20=3]
[18:16] <@Kotono> The mace strikes true as well, exchanging a blow onto her shoulder! It's a solid hit, but doesn't rock her much, either! OOC: Okay. Morana. Someone run the robo-rage/shaken Morana.
[18:21] <Hamish> Morana snarls, leaping to her feet and drawing her sword in one smooth motion! She charges down the naked earthy chick, orcish features pronounced as she shouts incoherently! OOC: Charging, assuming I can get all that done in a round
[18:21] <Hamish> OOC: Cool?
[18:22] <@Kotono> OOC: Sure.
[18:23] <Hamish> roll 1d20+12+1+1-2+2
[18:23] * Hatbot --> "Hamish rolls 1d20+12+1+1-2+2  and gets 29." [1d20=15]
[18:23] <@Kotono> OOC: Hit.
[18:23] <Hamish> roll 1d6+4+1
[18:23] * Hatbot --> "Hamish rolls 1d6+4+1 and gets 11." [1d6=6]
[18:24] <@Kotono> Morana closes in as well, trading blows with the nude woman! She tanks it well, before snarling and turning her full attentions onto Chloe!
[18:25] <@Kotono> roll 1d20+13
[18:25] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+13 and gets 19." [1d20=6]
[18:25] <@Kotono> roll 1d20+13
[18:25] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+13 and gets 23." [1d20=10]
[18:25] <@Kotono> OOC: AC, Chloe?
[18:26] <Chloe> OOC: 20
[18:26] <@Kotono> roll 3d8+10 wham
[18:26] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 3d8+10 wham and gets 18." [3d8=1, 2, 5]
[18:27] <@Kotono> Chloe gets a thwap right upside her head by the club, sending her pinwheeling back before landing on her knees! She's down but not out! OOC: You got knocked 15ft back. You're up now.
[18:32] * Chloe shakes her head woozily, but staggers to her feet. "Bitch! Drop that hammer and face me like a WOMAN!" Chloe charges forward, screeching a warcry!
[18:32] <Chloe> roll 1d20+14 Charging
[18:32] * Hatbot --> "Chloe rolls 1d20+14 Charging and gets 29." [1d20=15]
[18:32] <Chloe> roll 2d4+3 damage, dammit
[18:32] * Hatbot --> "Chloe rolls 2d4+3 damage, dammit and gets 10." [2d4=3, 4]
[18:33] <@Kotono> WHAM! Another solid hit on her, barely rocking her at all despite hitting her directly in the chest! OOC: Okay. Hamish'n'Iris.
[18:34] <Hamish> So far so good! Hamish is unscathed! Blanket of Invulnerability! Haha!
[18:35] <Iris> "You may find it of some benefit to HELP us put down the naked lunatic before she smashes our skulls to bits," Iris chides Hamish as she fires off twin beams of fire at the madwoman.
[18:35] <Iris> roll 1d20+9 ranged touch 1
[18:35] * Hatbot --> "Iris rolls 1d20+9 ranged touch 1 and gets 29." [1d20=20]
[18:36] <Iris> roll 1d20+9 ranged touch 2
[18:36] * Hatbot --> "Iris rolls 1d20+9 ranged touch 2 and gets 16." [1d20=7]
[18:36] <Iris> roll 1d20+9 ranged touch 1 crit?
[18:36] * Hatbot --> "Iris rolls 1d20+9 ranged touch 1 crit? and gets 26." [1d20=17]
[18:36] <@Kotono> OOC: HIt and crit, Iris.
[18:36] <Iris> roll 8d6 fire crit
[18:36] * Hatbot --> "Iris rolls 8d6 fire crit and gets 31." [8d6=2, 6, 4, 6, 4, 1, 5, 3]
[18:37] <Iris> roll 4d6 fire regular
[18:37] * Hatbot --> "Iris rolls 4d6 fire regular and gets 15." [4d6=4, 4, 2, 5]
[18:37] <@Kotono> Twin lances of fire rip through the woman's chest, leaving it empty with the heart burned out! She stands there a moment, staring down in disbelief, before tumbling to the ground! OOC: Free act. Killing her negates the statuses on y'all.
[18:38] * Fiora drops to her knees, shaking.
[18:38] * Hamish replies with a muffled, "Yer fine, I'm tired."
[18:38] * Chloe slumps, hoisting her hammer over her shoulder. Grumbling, she walks over to the woman's corpse. "Pretentious little chit."
[18:38] * Chloe kneels down and picks up the club!
[18:40] <Iris> "Can we not spend a night here without such rude interruptions?" Iris complains, performing the perfunctory scan for magical auras around this weapon.
[18:41] <@Kotono> OOC: What classes do you have, Chloe?
[18:41] <Iris> (OOC: Detect Magic at work, spellcraftan a thing?)
[18:41] <Chloe> OOC: Fighter, Sorcerer, Stormmage.
[18:41] <Fiora> "Pretentious? Perhaps. But that does not excuse your behavior," Fiora notes, though in a quiet voice. "I don't care if this is Ysgard, I wouldn't care if this was the abyss itself, you do not greet someone, even a strange nude berserker, with such childish insults. The next creature you provoke into attacking you, do not ask for my healing aid afterwards."
[18:42] * Fiora then gets up, and moves to pick up the berserker woman's body to move her a good distance away from where they were sleeping.
[18:43] * Chloe shrugs at Fiora. "Dunno what you're so annoyed at. The lady was spoiling for a fight. I decided not to be nice while fighting."
[18:43] <Iris> "I feel I have expressed this sentiment before myself, before giving up in despair," Iris says to Fiora. "I wish you better luck convincing them."
[18:44] <@Kotono> Chloe picks up the club, but immediately puts it down. It feels wrong for her to hold. OOC: Radiates magic, Iris. Spellcraft.
[18:44] <Iris> roll 1d20+16
[18:44] * Hatbot --> "Iris rolls 1d20+16 and gets 31." [1d20=15]
[18:45] <Iris> "Powerfully enchanted," Iris says on consideration, "but of little use to anyone without abilities as savage as hers."
[18:46] <Chloe> "Meh. We can toss it on the cart and sell it." Chloe considers. "Or leave it her for her. Might be the only thing she has, if she doesn't own a stitch."
[18:49] * Hamish snores.
[18:49] <Iris> "I do not consider it the most attractive option to amass a collection of stolen weapons that will incite all these depraved fighters to seek us out to retreive their property," Iris admits. "Encountering them once is sufficient. If you wish to take it for monetary gain, I won't fault the usefulness of the goal, however."
[18:50] * Fiora carries the woman until she can't see the camp anymore, then a bit further, and sets her down. Then she turns around and begins plodding back towards the camp.
[18:50] <Chloe> "Money doesn't mean much to me. I don't really care either way. Take it or leave it." Chloe resumes her position of leaning against the cart's wheel, intending to finish her watch and then sleep.
[18:53] <@Kotono> OOC: Okay, decide on the club and I'll move y'all along.
[18:53] <Chloe> OOC: I don't care. Up to the rest. I just wanna sleep. ;_;
[18:53] <Iris> OOC: Iris will leave it. anyone who wants the thing can take it.
[18:54] <Fiora> OOC: Fiora won't take it.
[18:55] <Chloe> OOC: And Hamish is passed out. Morana can take it if she wants.
[18:56] <@Morana> ooc: pass
[18:56] <@Kotono> OOC: Club is left. Are yo uall resting or continuing on now after your disrupted sleep?
[18:56] <Chloe> OOC: Resting
[18:59] <Fiora> OOC: Fiora will take Hamish's watch for him, since she's having trouble sleeping after that.
[18:59] <@Kotono> OOC: Okay.
[18:59] <@Kotono> roll 1d100
[18:59] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d100 and gets 63." [1d100=63]
[19:00] <@Kotono> The morning and early afternoon passes without incident. But come mid afternoon the party is up, rested and recovered. No disruptions this time!
[19:01] <Fiora> "This may be a better idea while in Ysgard. Sleep by day and travel by night," Fiora notes, as she conjures 'breakfast' for the party.
[19:01] * Hamish rises from the bundle of blankets, all smiles. "Ahh, finally! Smell that cold refreshing air!" He grabs some food and goes to tend the horses.
[19:03] <Iris> "It does not appear that the natives do anything but wait to interrupt our sleep at night, so perhaps youa re right," Iris admits.
[19:03] * Chloe munches on a bit of conjured sustenance. "Whatever you think is best. I won't back down from a fight, but being perpetually challenged is getting annoying. Especially while sleeping."
[19:04] <@Kotono> OOC: Going to wait until nightfall then? Feel free to keep chatting, sec.
[19:05] <Fiora> OOC: Well, no reason we couldn't get some late afternoon hours of travel in as well?
[19:06] * Hamish preps the carriage and gets the horses ready.
[19:09] <@Kotono> OOC: Okay then.
[19:10] <@Kotono> You travel the afternoon and into the light. It's getting on towards midnight without incident, the terrain relatively stable right now. As you wander...mmm. There's a feeling in the party, a strangeness. Your shard sense ripple, a soft TING echoing in your minds.
[19:10] * Fiora stops, and focuses on the feeling.
[19:11] * Iris stops in her tracks, attempts to determine whether the direction of the their target has changed.
[19:11] * Chloe cocks her head, focusing intently!
[19:12] * Hamish looks around. "That was new."
[19:15] <@Morana> "It was," Morana agrees. "Any idea what it means?"
[19:16] <Hamish> "Nope!"
[19:16] * Chloe frowns. "Does it feel like the direction of the shard has changed?"
[19:18] <@Kotono> There is a distinct feeling of resonation within you, strange and unsettling. Strangely again, you feel as if the shard is closer now.
[19:19] <@Morana> "It feels closer," Morana admits.
[19:19] * Iris shrugs. "We can draw no conclusions without data," she says. "Let us proceed onward."
[19:20] <Chloe> "Hmm. Well, the only thing to do is investigate!" Chloe points into the setting sun. "Forward!"
[19:20] * Hamish guides the horses toward their revised goal!
[19:21] * Fiora shrugs and keeps going, keeping her focus on her shardsense for awhile to make sure she has a handle on the right direction.
[19:22] * Iris decides to summon up some magical protection before proceeding onwards--because where there's a shard, there's often trouble! (OOC: Mage Armor up)
[19:23] <@Kotono> As the party travels, the sense of the shard being closer grows quickly!
[19:24] * Chloe raises both eyebrows. "Be prepared for trouble!"
[19:25] <Iris> "I can't help but suspect someone is searching for us," Iris says, augmenting her existing protections with a Shield spell just in case the potential foe happens to be immediately nearby.
[19:26] * Fiora incants as well, setting her Sunset Blessing over the party. (OOC: Divine Protection, +1 AC/Saves for 7 minutes)
[19:26] * Hamish concentrates for a moment as he guides the cart. OOC: Inertial Armor up
[19:26] <@Kotono> It's getting closer - and it's above you! At the same time, suddenly the tree canopy above begins to rustle! OOC: Noted on the buffs.
[19:27] * Chloe roars, "Whatever it is, it's right above us! MOVE!"
[19:27] * Chloe darts out from beneath the rustling canopy!
[19:27] * Hamish calmly looks up, squinting at the trees.
[19:28] * Fiora draws Skyrose and moves to the side!
[19:28] <Iris> "Whatever it is, it also assuredly knows where we are," Iris says, not seeing the point in running and ready with the fireworks if it proves to be trouble coming their way after all.
[19:31] <@Kotono> The canopy is brushed aside with a great gust of wind! Above you is the T-Rex! It's entire face is covered in ethereal light, roaring down at you! IN it's roar you find you can understand it despite no words being spoken. "Little things, return what you have taken and surrender the fragments of dreams you have taken!"
[19:31] <Hamish> "Get fucked!" Hamish cries cheerfully.
[19:32] <Iris> "We're on a mission," Iris replies simply. "We cannot do that."
[19:32] * Chloe grins. "I was going to keep my mouth shut, but what the lecher said!"
[19:32] <@Kotono> 'Get fucked!' Siri adds cheerfully! 'WE can't do that, so why doncha do something about it?'
[19:33] * Fiora looks up at it, "...your skin marks you as one thing...but I call it false. You are no holy creature!"
[19:33] <@Kotono> At this, the tyrant lizard roars! No meaning in this, and yet the world seems to shatter! Your shardsense pings loudly, as...(More, no more lines yet.
[19:33] <@Kotono> )
[19:36] <@Kotono> You stand in cracked, ground-down and broken land. An arid region with the sun high in the faded blue sky. It's oppressively hot here and bone dry, the scent of burnt dust in the air. Before you are several shacks, with ragged, dying fields of small tomatoes, withered grapes and wilting lettuce.
[19:37] <Hamish> "...what."
[19:37] <Chloe> "....uh, where's the dinosaur of doom?"
[19:38] <Iris> Through gritted teeth, Iris's immediate reaction is: "Not. Again."
[19:39] * Chloe eyes Iris curiously. "Is this scene familiar to you?"
[19:39] * Fiora keeps her eyes locked on where the lizard should be, "You think such a scene will break my spirit? Show yourself!"
[19:40] <Iris> "I am merely contemplating the possibility of us being cast to the planar winds against our will again and rebelling at the inconvenience," Iris explains, cautiously examining the landscape for any sign that it might be just a very elaborate illusion.
[19:41] * @Morana tries her senses for both portals and shards, and sees what she gets now.
[19:41] <Hamish> "At least we're not in the Abyss or whatever again." Hamish Helpfully points out.
[19:42] <@Kotono> "It's a miserable lot, isn't it?" As Morana tries tos ense, she finds the shard everywhere! Her senses short out after a moment, overwhelming her! Coming out from one of the shacks is a lean faced man wearing worn leather clothes and form-fitted armor. "Doing things against your will, being the victim of whimsy."
[19:43] <Chloe> "We chose this task. We weren't forced into it." Chloe replies calmly.
[19:44] * Fiora calms a bit, and offers the man a half smile, "No one forced me to take my vows. Though if you mean magical compulsions, then I will agree those are fairly miserable."
[19:44] <Hamish> OOC: Manifesting Detect Psionics, no visible indicator that I am.
[19:44] <Iris> "We were offered an honest bargain," is Iris's summation of their quest in general.
[19:45] <Hamish> OOC: Scratch
[19:48] <@Kotono> His hair is short and brown, his gaze unyielding. "You were just offered another one. Give me the damn shards. You got no idea what they are, do you? While you're at it, give me the sword too."
[19:49] <Fiora> "...who are you, that we should take your word over the Lady of Dreams?" Fiora asks pointedly.
[19:49] <Iris> "Would you be interested in explaining precisely what they are, and from whence you derive this knowledge?" Iris challenges. "I will surrender nothing without explanations."
[19:50] * Chloe nods in agreement. "That doesn't sound like a bargain at all. More like a command."
[19:50] * Chloe narrows her eyes. "I don't like commands. I suspect my friends don't, either."
[19:50] <Hamish> "Would you like the cart, too? The horses are magical." Hamish offers.
[19:52] <@Kotono> "You met me already," Smirking coldly and spreading his arms, "Nice to finally be like myself. They're crystallized dreams and rule over them, that's what they are. See, this is my dream and you're in it. I reckon that means I control everything here."
[19:53] * Chloe instantly retorts, "If this is a dream, then nothing is real. An iron will is all that's needed to control a dream."
[19:55] <Hamish> "Wait, we've already met you? Were you the the crazy naked lady or the meathead we met when we first got here?"
[19:55] <Fiora> "Well, we did already know that they are crystalized dreams." Fiora tells him, "We are on a quest for the Lady of Dreams, to gather them all and repair her Sphere of Dreams."
[19:55] <Iris> "Your dream is a distinctly bleack landscape" Iris observes. "This does not fill me with confidence."
[19:57] <@Kotono> "No, you drooling idiot!" Giving Hamish a glare of disdain, "The mighty cursed lizard! No matter. You can surrender here or lose them by force. All I wonder is...will Ysgard protect you in this dreamrealm, or will this be your final deaths?"
[19:58] <Hamish> "You mean the irritating overgrown iguana is YOU? Ahahahaha!"
[19:58] <Iris> "We do not require the protection of others," Iris says. "All the force we require is our own."
[19:59] * Chloe snickers. "You and those tiny, stubby little arms?"
[20:00] <@Morana> "You squander dreams if all you wish with them is this illusion, mage," Morana finally comments, having been observing everything around her and the man speaking to them.
[20:00] <Fiora> "Then I was right," Fiora says cooly, before raising her sword, "You are no holy creature."
[20:00] <@Morana> "Agreed."
[20:00] <Chloe> "Let's fry this little lizard!"
[20:01] <@Kotono> "Damn right I'm not," Spitting to the side and crossing his arms, "Victim of a cursed item, nothing more." Then he vanishes, and around you appear eight tyrant lizards! They surround you utterly, roaring as one! "This is MY dream! You're powerless here!"
[20:03] * Iris calmly observes this display and examines the effect to determine if it's illusion magic at work, or a genuine reproduction of hostile tyrant lizards.
[20:03] * Hamish looks around at the lizards. "So because you couldn't handle us as a giant magical gecko, you're gonna send FAKE giant geckos at us?"
[20:03] <Hamish> "That's...something, man."
[20:03] <@Kotono> OOC: Iris, make spellcraft.
[20:03] <Iris> roll 1d20+16
[20:03] * Hatbot --> "Iris rolls 1d20+16 and gets 22." [1d20=6]
[20:03] <@Kotono> 'C'mon, stop talking and start fighting! It'll be grand!' Siri calls.
[20:04] * Chloe boredly looks around. "Say fellows, this is a dream. And we're champions of the Lady...I'd say that combined, we can wrest control of the dream from this man. Shall we try?"
[20:05] <Iris> "Hm." Iris concentrates on one particular aggressor and focuses on, well, willing the giant lizard out of existence. They may be in a dream shard, but she has one of her own, after all!
[20:05] * Chloe adds her will to that of Iris, trying to wrest control of the dream from the Lizard Man!
[20:06] <Hamish> "Stormy's got a point there." Hamish says, focusing on the dream itself!
[20:07] <@Morana> "Sounds like a plan to me," Morana says, deciding Chloe's idea has merit. Closing her eyes as she concentrates, she makes a short plea outloud as prayer. "Lady of dreams, grant us power in this dream. Lady of strategy, grant us wisdom to pierce this falseness."
[20:07] <@Kotono> OOC: Will saves, all of you.
[20:07] <Fiora> "Powerless?" Fiora smiles, "Hardly. If this is what you dream, then I pity you. My dream is of life and beauty, not desolation. I...will show it to you!" With that, Fiora concentrates as well, focusing on her inner dream, a world where the sun and moon move in harmony and beauty, where all are free to live and love!
[20:07] <@Morana> ooc: can I use my immediate to grant us +5 boost here?
[20:07] <@Kotono> OOC: Yes.
[20:07] <Iris> roll 1d20+9+4 for Fiora's/Morana's bonuses
[20:07] * Hatbot --> "Iris rolls 1d20+9+4 for Fiora's/Morana's bonuses and gets 14." [1d20=1]
[20:08] <Fiora> roll 1d20+10+1+2+5 yay save bonus stacking
[20:08] * Hatbot --> "Fiora rolls 1d20+10+1+2+5 yay save bonus stacking and gets 34." [1d20=16]
[20:08] <@Morana> roll d20+11+1+1+2+5 will save
[20:08] * Hatbot --> "Morana rolls d20+11+1+1+2+5 will save and gets 26." [d20=6]
[20:08] <@Morana> ooc: you forgot a 1, Fiora!
[20:08] <Fiora> OOC: 35 then.
[20:08] <Hamish> roll 1d20+11+1+2
[20:08] * Hatbot --> "Hamish rolls 1d20+11+1+2 and gets 32." [1d20=18]
[20:08] <Hamish> OOC: +5
[20:08] <Chloe> roll 1d20+8+2+5 Will save
[20:09] * Hatbot --> "Chloe rolls 1d20+8+2+5 Will save and gets 34." [1d20=19]
[20:09] <@Morana> roll d20+7+1+1+2+5 will save for the robo-dragon
[20:09] * Hatbot --> "Morana rolls d20+7+1+1+2+5 will save for the robo-dragon and gets 35." [d20=19]
[20:10] <@Kotono> The tyrant lizards pounce on the party, maws coming down to tear you apart!  But at the same time it is the lizards that are consumed, the entire dreamscape shattering to a cry of "NOOOOO!" Then you find yourselves dazed and lying on the ground, waking up. You can hear the sound of rustling and branches breaking above.
[20:11] * Iris glances up and raises a hand, ready to rain fire is their adversary insists on pressing his claim. She does focus a second to check whether shardsense still registers right before them.
[20:11] * Chloe groggily looks above, hoping to see the unconcious form of the lizard man thing come crashing from above!
[20:11] * Fiora pulls herself up as quickly as her dazed state can manage, and prepares for another assault if he has one coming.
[20:12] <@Kotono> The link is above you. The tyrant lizard flees through the canopy of the forest and away, flying with all due haste and away.
[20:13] <Hamish> "Wherezzat oversized snake?" Hamish mutters, stumbling to his feet. "I'mma stab him with stabs until...he's gonna be so stabbed. HEY GET BACK HERE!" He shakes his fist at the sky.
[20:14] <Iris> "Coward!" Iris calls after it. "Where is your conviction now?"
[20:14] * Chloe leaps to her feet. "After him! We can't let that lily-livered reptile get away!"
[20:15] * Chloe dashes after the reptile!
[20:15] <Fiora> "Hamish, can you dispel his flight?" Fiora asks as they give chase!
[20:16] <Hamish> "Mebbe!" OOC: Distance?
[20:16] <@Kotono> OOC: You can't tell since he's gone above the canopy and is fleeing now. The canopy naturally blocks sight/line of effect.
[20:17] <Hamish> "If we can find him again, I can keep him down."
[20:18] * Chloe focuses on her shardsense as she runs, trying to keep a bead on the fleeing lizard!
[20:21] <Fiora> "Alright, be ready. Let's keep after him!"
