[12:14] <@Kotono> LAST TIME ON PLANAR BALL Z: People beat the shit out of things and the Abyss was fucked up! Now our heroes stand atop a spike-lined descent, leading to an illusionary floor into a blood pit! To the side of the illusionary floor is a passage into what looks to be blue skies and sunshine! What will happen next?!:
[12:15] <@Kotono> Yulia looks down the shaft, shivering and curling back on Nikkolai's shoulders, eyeing Knight and Adail. "That blood must have surely been rotten...but now what?"
06[12:16] * Adail considers, "What do the rest of you think? Is that path worth investigating, or is it just too obviously a trap?"
[12:16] <Kamvakua> "First, should we try and wash that off you two?" Kamvakua wondered.
[12:17] <Mari> "We already found the trap, right?" Mari says hopefully.
[12:17] <Kamvakua> "A trap," Kamvakua grimly reminded.
01[12:17] <Knight> "What difference does it make?" points out Knight, as Nikkolai intones a brief spell that washes away the fetid blood. "One way is as good as another. Only the logistics here present an issue."
06[12:19] * Adail looks back down the hole, trying to figure out if he could swing into the passage from the rope.
[12:19] <Kamvakua> "Going forward, we'd have to go down the rope and swing into the opening?" Kamvakua mused. "And hope not to fall or get speared by the spikes."
[12:19] <Mari> "It does seem too good to be true. But I figure, at worst it's bait and it's not real. Getting to it is the hard part, right?"
[12:19] <@Kotono> ADail thinks he could do it easily enough, wouldn't be too hard.
[12:21] <Adail> "Well, I think I can get in. And Yulia isn't a problem, of course. Mari's nearly as agile as I am, so if I can do it I'm sure she can as well." Adail then looks the two larger party members over, "Ah, do you two think you could make it?"
[12:22] <Mari> "If someone else gets in, they can bring the end of the rope with them, right? Anyone else can sort of slide down it."
01[12:22] <Knight> "I am not bad at climbing," intones Knight, whilst Nikkolai snorts. "Or I could summon a giant bat. That would be much simpler."
[12:22] <@Kotono> "I can do that," Yulia chirps, "I can untie the end and fly right down!"
[12:23] <Kamvakua> "Before we go as a group...let's see about just checking what's down there with one person. Adail or Yulia," Kamvakua encouraged.
[12:24] <Kamvakua> "Rushing over ourselves only gets two or three of us caught in the trap."
[12:24] <Mari> "Adail!" Mari suggests. "Sorry, but I trust you to fight off anything nasty that might be in there better than Yulia could."
01[12:24] <Knight> "Instead of risking ourselves, then, a summoned creature of any kind would be more suitable," points out Knight, gesturing to Nikkolai.
06[12:25] * Adail nods, "And as I can communicate with anything living, questioning the creature on it's return would not be a problem at all."
01[12:25] <Knight> Gesturing, Nikkolai brings a flock of owls into existence.
06[12:26] * Kamvakua nods. "That sounds safer. With the realm being as hostile as it is, we have to be far more careful."
[12:26] <Mari> "Or we could do that. Monsters are more expendable than Adail."
01[12:26] <Knight> roll 1d4+1 sm 3 whee
06[12:26] * Hatbot --> "Knight rolls 1d4+1 sm 3 whee and gets 5."12 [1d4=4]
01[12:27] <Knight> One of the creatures swoops into the pleasant-seeming tunnel!
06[12:27] * Adail chirps at the owls, asking the one down there to call back what it sees as it goes!
01[12:27] <Knight> The rest soon follow suit, as there's no reason to hold them back when they won't last long in any case.
06[12:28] * Mari waits. Not entirely patiently, occasionally glancing back at the tunnel behind them, just in case. It already produced one horror, after all.
06[12:28] * Kamvakua keeps an eye on pathway back the way they came as the owls go scout.
[12:28] <@Kotono> The tunnel is empty enough on a glance. Nothing unusual there.
06[12:29] * Adail asks the owls to go scout out the tunnel and call back what they see!
06[12:29] * Knight coughs for a moment, raising a hand to her lips.
[12:30] <@Kotono> As the owls fly off, Knight coughs! It's a deep rattle, black coming from her mouth! A great burst of tiny spiders covers her hand, crawling up her arm and falling to the ground!
[12:31] <Mari> "What the--OH HELLS." Mari gets AWAY from Knight, watching in horror!
[12:31] <@Kotono> "AAAAH!" Yulia screams and gapes, "KNIIIGHT!"
01[12:31] <Knight> "gghghaack!" says Knight, shaking her arm up and down until she can fling the disgusting creatures off!
[12:31] <@Kotono> The spiders fall off, some crawling under her armor plates but most falling away! They skitter down and away!
[12:32] <Mari> "Knight--what--are you okay?"
06[12:32] * Adail eyes Knight, "Did that thing just come out of your MOUTH?" Quickly he suggests, "Can you induce vomiting in yourself? That may help get rid of any others still..uh, inside."
01[12:33] <Knight> Knight is already on the task, dropping her shield and reaching into her throat with her (thankfully) non-clawed hand!
[12:33] <@Kotono> OOC: Make a fort save, Knight?
01[12:33] <Knight> roll 1d20+13
06[12:33] * Hatbot --> "Knight rolls 1d20+13 and gets 17."12 [1d20=4]
[12:34] <@Kotono> Knight retches all over! She throws up her lunch, spiders, bits of blood and drying blood, tiny white silken sacs...but it comes out and out and out, the crawling inside of her stopping. She feels raw inside, empty, jagged. Hurts. OOC: 5 damage due to internal trauma, Knight.
06[12:35] * Knight continues to cough, the signs of trauma going unabated for several moments. Clumsily, she reaches for a skin of water.
06[12:36] * Kamvakua hands her one.
[12:36] <@Kotono> Below in the foulness, the tiny silken sacs begin to split open. From within come tiny spiders, covered in a thin layer of brown fur. Each one's fur is the exact shade of Knight's hair, skittering away slowly through the mess. Meanwhile water soothes Knight's miserable insides, providing some relief.
06[12:37] * Mari is ready to stomp on any of the little critters that wander her way! "How did they even--eugh."
06[12:37] * Adail starts picking them off with strategic Magic Missile shots!
[12:38] <@Kotono> The tiny spiders are stomped and Hunting Fanged into oblivion in short order. Each one dies with nary a struggle, only turning to gaze with a distinct look of whimpering despair at Knight, a tiny, almost inaudible whimper.
01[12:38] <Knight> Knight seems to echo Mari's sentiment, repeatedly grinding her armoured boot into the ground in order to crush the filthy little things. "I do not wish to know the answer," she chokes, draining the waterskin.
[12:40] <@Kotono> Meanwhile the owls come back, flying back up the chasm and returning.
06[12:40] * Adail questions the owls on what they saw!
[12:40] <@Kotono> It's a beautiful sunny field - smells nice and they could smell mice in there. Live mice, good food.
06[12:41] * Adail relays that to the party.
[12:42] <@Kotono> Yulia whimpers and doesn't look up at all, hiding behind Nikkolai's neck.
01[12:42] <Knight> "It just occured to me," notes Knight, reaching to pick up her equipment. "That if it is truly an outdoor land, we may be subjected to acidic rain. Were there any clouds?"
[12:42] <Mari> "I...guess we go through? I don't know what a place like that is doing in the Abyss, but we check out the one pocket of it that doesn't sound horrible and scarring, or we head back and climb to some other place that is doubtlessly horrible and scarring."
06[12:43] * Adail asks the owls about clouds before they vanish!
[12:43] <@Kotono> There aren't any clouds. Clear blue sky.
[12:43] <@Kotono> The owls vanish after, the duration up.
[12:43] <Kamvakua> "An outdoor land with grass in an acidic rainstorm? I don't think this would last long."
[12:43] <Adail> "They say it's completely clear."
[12:43] <Kamvakua> "It might be some inside trick of the abyss. But it sounds less trouble than going back."
[12:44] <@Kotono> "Let's just go!" Yulia cries, "Anywhere there aren't those...spider...things!"
01[12:45] <Knight> "It is not completely intolerable. As you can see, I'm fine," points out Knight, with a shrug. "If we are to go, let's get to it, then."
[12:45] <Mari> "Yeah," Mari agrees, getting in line.
[12:46] <Kamvakua> roll 3d8+3 Healing wand on Knight
[12:46] <Adail> "I'll go first then." Adail says, then starts climbing down the rope, attempting to swing over into the tunnel when he gets low enough.
06[12:46] * Hatbot --> "Kamvakua rolls 3d8+3 Healing wand on Knight and gets 18."12 [3d8=3, 5, 7]
[12:46] <Kamvakua> OOC: 3 charges spent
[12:47] <@Kotono> OOC: Climb check, Adail.
[12:47] <Adail> roll 1d20+10 climb
06[12:47] * Hatbot --> "Adail rolls 1d20+10 climb and gets 30."12 [1d20=20]
[12:47] <@Kotono> Adail slides right on down, reaching the desired spot without a single hitch!
[12:48] <Mari> roll 1d20+7 ?!?
06[12:48] * Hatbot --> "Mari rolls 1d20+7 ?!? and gets 16."12 [1d20=9]
[12:48] <Kamvakua> "Anything over there?" Kamvakua called.
[12:48] <@Kotono> OOC: Just attempt it, it'll be a general dex check.
[12:49] <Adail> roll 1d20+8 dex check to swing over
06[12:49] * Hatbot --> "Adail rolls 1d20+8 dex check to swing over and gets 15."12 [1d20=7]
[12:50] <@Kotono> Adail easily makes a deft leap, landing just inside! Oh! It's warm here! Sunny! It smells so good, fresh, alive! His fur feels better under the sun!
06[12:52] * Adail calls back up, "I'm down. Yulia, give me a hand here?" Then he tries to find something to tie the rope to!
[12:52] <Kamvakua> "Adail, how is it? Anyone there?"
[12:52] <@Kotono> Yulia flies down and joins Adail. There's a few rocks nearby, tyable if Adail wishes.
[12:52] <Adail> "Nobody I can see. And it smells like real sunlight at least."
06[12:53] * Mari clutches her head suddenly, doubling over. "Shut up! I never killed anyone I didn't have to! LEAVE ME ALONE!" Almost as soon as she's started this fit, it's over; she stands up again, looking around sheepishly. "I hate this place," she says quietly.
06[12:53] * Adail tries to tie off the rope to a rock, hoping Yulia knows more about this then he does. Either way, he'll try to hold it taut himself as well, just in case.
[12:53] <@Kotono> This goes without incident, the rope properly secur4ed for the next one in line!
01[12:54] <Knight> "It brings out the worst," agrees Knight.
[12:54] <@Kotono> roll 1d20+9
06[12:54] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+9 and gets 23."12 [1d20=14]
[12:54] <@Kotono> The rope is indeed very well secured, Yulia knotting it right up.
[12:54] <@Kotono> "Next!" Yulia calls.
[12:55] <Mari> "Yeah, it does. I'm getting out of here next." Mari shoulders her way forward, taking the rope down.
[12:55] <Kamvakua> "Knight, then mari, then nikkolai, then Me. I'll cover the rear. Go."
[12:55] <@Kotono> OOC: Looks like Mari beat you do that. Go ahead and roll climb, Mari.
[12:55] <Mari> roll 1d20+17 she's not waiting, no
06[12:55] * Hatbot --> "Mari rolls 1d20+17 she's not waiting, no and gets 20."12 [1d20=3]
[12:55] <@Kotono> Mari gets down without incident as well, skillfully making it to the bottom! "Next!" Yulia calls.
06[12:56] * Knight grabs the rope and tries to sail down it with all the grace she can muster.
01[12:56] <Knight> roll 1d20+5
06[12:56] * Hatbot --> "Knight rolls 1d20+5 and gets 7."12 [1d20=2]
[12:56] <@Kotono> Knight stumbles a bit, a spike going right into her hip as she makes it down!
[12:56] <@Kotono> roll 1d4+2 and fort
06[12:56] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d4+2 and fort and gets 6."12 [1d4=4]
01[12:56] <Knight> roll 1d20+13 of course
06[12:56] * Hatbot --> "Knight rolls 1d20+13 of course and gets 32."12 [1d20=19]
[12:56] <@Kotono> Knight makes it to the bottom, bloodied and a bit chilled, but not immediately dead. "Next!" Yulia calls.
01[12:59] <Knight> Nikkolai follows suit.
01[12:59] <Knight> roll 1d20+4
06[12:59] * Hatbot --> "Knight rolls 1d20+4 and gets 24."12 [1d20=20]
[13:00] <@Kotono> Nikkolai makes it down in a stunning display of magely speed! OOC: Kam.
[13:01] <Kamvakua> roll 1d20+11 climb check
06[13:01] * Hatbot --> "Kamvakua rolls 1d20+11 climb check and gets 18."12 [1d20=7]
[13:01] <@Kotono> Kamvakua manages to climb down safely as well! Yulia then flies up and brings the rope down, the party all down! Ahead of you is an open green field...hm? About 200 feet ahead, you can see three figures. Two obviously in armor, somoene in white robes behind them. They look roughly humanoid.
06[13:03] * Knight marches forward, always ready to talk to people she doesn't know in strange places.
06[13:03] * Mari is unspeakably glad to be out of that wretched pit! And whoever these people are can only be an improvement over spiders and invisible lightning orbs. She strides forward with Knight, relishing the returned presence of green fields.
06[13:04] * Adail follows along, still keeping his standard spells, including the disguise, active.
[13:05] <@Kotono> At about 60 feet away, you can see them better. The men wear heavy armor, emblazed with golden suns. The woman in white robes is strikingly beautiful, blonde hair like sunshine through the window first thing in the morning. "Halt and hail, in the name of Pelor!" The woman declares, "If you are not demons, you will not be harmed! If you show signs of aggression, you will be summarily executed for the good of the Northlands! Please, do not make
[13:05] <@Kotono> executed for the good of the Northlands! Please, do not make us do that!"
06[13:05] * Knight promptly stops. "We are not demons," she declares, putting her hands on her hips. "We are... what are we?" she asks, glancing at Mari.
[13:06] <Mari> "We're not looking for a fight. We've had plenty of these already today. Can you tell us where we are?"
06[13:06] * Adail chuckles, "Adventurers, Knight. Of a sort, at least,"
06[13:06] * Mari glances back at Knight. "We're just simple folk. Nothing special!"
[13:07] <Kamvakua> "It is surprising and good to meet good folk down here. I had not thought we'd see such until we left the Abyss."l
[13:07] <@Kotono> "I am Silesstra Fairhand of Pelor!" Her voice is commanding but a little high pitched, making it endearingly alluring. "I see a courre? Are you vagabonds from the Abyss? Portals from the Abyss sometimes open here."
01[13:08] <Knight> "Where is here?" asks Knight, glancing over her shoulder at the way they came.
[13:08] <Mari> "We were there looking for something and found a door that led here. We took since it was the first thing we'd seen in days that wasn't covered in blood or spiders or worse."
[13:09] <@Kotono> "The Northlands of Umrembor, the domain of Arthking Samon, may he live forevermore." Silesstra Fairhand bows her head at that name, as do the two armored men, "You do not appear demons. We offer succor then, a safe cabin is not far from here. You are our guests - we both offer and insist, under the circumstances."
06[13:10] * Mari sighs. "You have no idea how much I'd like a warm bed and dinner. I'd be glad to accept if no one else objects."
[13:11] <Kamvakua> "A night's rest would be good. Though now we are clearly lost. We will have to find our way back afterwards, as much as that hurts to say."
01[13:11] <Knight> "We can only accept if the portal back to the abyss will remain open," notes Knight, sighing. "Regrettably, there is something there we must do."
06[13:11] * Adail nods, "Our buisiness in that wretched place isn't entirely concluded yet."
[13:12] <@Kotono> "It is likely already closed," The fair maiden informs you, "The portals rarely last long, cosmic ripples of chance. In most odds you are here to stay."
06[13:13] * Mari turns around quickly to look. "But it took us a lot of work to get there! We'll have to start all over again if we can't get right back!"
06[13:14] * Adail frowns, taking a look around him with his Detect Evil ability...
01[13:14] <Knight> "Even if a second portal should open, there is no guarantee that it will take us to the correct layer," mutters Knight. "Damn! So much was wasted..."
06[13:15] * Kamvakua looks back to see if the gate is completely closed.
[13:15] <Kamvakua> "This would truly be bad luck if so. We'd have no choice but to try again from the top."
01[13:18] <Knight> "Perhaps it is our method that needs changing. Better to know the whereabouts of this... dragon-demon's lair than to wander aimlessly," notes Knight, sighing. "Miss Fairhiand, please show us to your lodgings."
[13:19] <@Kotono> Turning around, you see no portal back at all, only open, sunny fields.
06[13:19] * Adail looks around, then sighs and shakes his head.
06[13:19] * Mari smacks her forehead and groans in dismay. "We walked through that nightmare for nothing. I didn't think I could hate it even more, but now I do!"
[13:20] <@Kotono> "Come with us," The robed woman smiles radiantly, "No matter if a quest has ended in avertment, we can at least offer you hospitality."
[13:20] <Kamvakua> "The abyss thrives upon misery and hate. It is only natural that it would seek to cause more," He patted mari's shoulder. "We should thank the gods none of us died there."
01[13:20] <Knight> "It is unusual," murmurs Knight, so only her confidantes can hear. "Why would the portal close only immediately after we step through it?"
[13:21] <Mari> "I'm not thanking anybody if it means we have to go back later!" She sighs, walking forward. "Alright, lead on. I admit, rest would be good."
[13:21] <@Kotono> "Such is the nature of the Abyss." With a little shrugs as the soldiers fall in line and she starts to walk, "I've given up trying to figure it out."
[13:21] <Adail> roll 1d20+10
06[13:21] * Hatbot --> "Adail rolls 1d20+10 and gets 21."12 [1d20=11]
[13:22] <@Kotono> You are lead along to a very large log cabin, about the size of three or four normal ones. The entire back is one great big set of beds, over a dozen of them. A big pot over a cooking fire far to the east side simmers, a pleasant smelling stew on. The armored men go to fix up bowls, a large table near the door. "Sit down, sit down and we'll eat in a moment."
06[13:22] * Kamvakua glances around, detecting evil for his own paranoia.
06[13:22] * Mari sits, glad to get off her feet. "So, you guys live right next door to the Abyss? That must be rough. You get a lot of nasty visitors?"
06[13:23] * Adail sniffs at the pot, "That's...an interesting aroma. What meat did you use?"
[13:23] <@Kotono> Bowls are brought over, placed before people as they sit. "It's our duty, to make sure nothing slips out and causes trouble." Lady Fairhand sits down opposite all of you, "Oh, that? It's wild planes game - bison and forest roses for flavoring and the scent."
01[13:24] <Knight> "I am not hungry right now. Don't feel you need to serve me," mutters Knight, wincing at her aching throat.
[13:24] <@Kotono> A bowl is brought nonetheless. One of the armored men goes and fetches a tall glass of cool water, "Your throat hurts?" he offers, smile glimpsed beneath his helmet.
06[13:25] * Kamvakua tries the stew, just a taste.
[13:25] <Adail> "Perhaps it's merely the lingering effect of the Abyss in my nostrils, but it smells like nothing so much as...to be quite honest, cooked elf." Adail shakes his head, "I think I'll pass on the food, thank you. I find myself without a appitite now."
06[13:25] * Mari glances back at all the beds. "There are more of you, I guess? On patrol or whatever?" She sniffs at the stew, gives the contents a prod with her spoon before trying a taste.
[13:25] <Mari> "MMRF?"
01[13:25] <Knight> "You could tell?" asks Knight, in some surprise, before she peers dismally at Adail.
[13:26] <@Kotono> It's a very good stew, meaty and warm. Mari and Kamvakua both find it quite tasty. "Ah." shaking her head, "I'm sorry then...a few people say that about forest roses. Would you like some other provisions?"
[13:26] <@Kotono> The man smiles, "Well, ah, your voice was a little horse when you spoke there, so I assumed."
06[13:27] * Adail waves off the offer of other food, "I'm fine, actually. A bit of rest will do me more good then a meal."
06[13:27] * Kamvakua sniffs carefully, seeing if he can confirm or deny himself whether this is Bison in his bowl.
[13:27] <@Kotono> "As you wish," Nodding to the 'kobold', "The beds are more than welcome to be used if you're tired."
06[13:28] * Mari eyes the stew critically. But she IS hungry, and these people seem nice at least..."I would love a bath if it's possible. I can't tell you how much I want to get this dead dog smell out of my hair."
[13:28] <Kamvakua> roll 1d20+10
06[13:28] * Hatbot --> "Kamvakua rolls 1d20+10 and gets 23."12 [1d20=13]
[13:28] <@Kotono> "There's a spring not far from here. I can escort you," Lady Fairhand smiles winsomely.
[13:29] <Mari> "Maybe when we're done here. Anyone else need a wash? I don't know how you couldn't, after where we'd been. Knight and Adail were covered in blood for a while!"
06[13:29] * Kamvakua frowns and puts down his spoon. "I don't particularly like being lied to." His voice rumbled.
01[13:30] <Knight> "I"m not feeling comfortable here," replies Knight, frowning. "Miss Fairhand, perhaps you could direct us towards the nearest town?"
[13:30] <@Kotono> "I'm sorry?" Lady Fairhand blink-blinks at Kamvakua, "But I wasn't aware I lied to you."
06[13:30] * Mari glances around uneasily, setting down her spoon. "...Guys? What's up?"
[13:30] <@Kotono> "Ah," Picking up in a moment, "There isn't one withint wo weeks ot travel. The entire area is forbidden, on royal orders, due to the portals."
06[13:31] * Kamvakua stands, "That is not bison in that pot. I have hunted them on the planes and cooked them a number of different ways, and that is not bison."
[13:31] <@Kotono> The two armored men look to each other and shrug, "MAybe they're a bit abyss-sick?" One offers, "The horrors have them a bit demented?"
[13:32] <@Kotono> "I assure you it's bison," Lady Fairhand says, voice straining and becoming high pitched with effort, "Perhaps you ar enot familiar with our methods of preparing it?"
[13:32] <Mari> OOC: can I roll sense motive here?
[13:32] <@Kotono> OOC: Go for it.
[13:32] <Mari> roll 1d20+12 you sound pretty tense there~
06[13:32] * Hatbot --> "Mari rolls 1d20+12 you sound pretty tense there~ and gets 29."12 [1d20=17]
[13:33] <Kamvakua> OOC: Can I as well?
[13:33] <@Kotono> OOC: If you like
[13:34] <Kamvakua> roll 1d20+12
06[13:34] * Hatbot --> "Kamvakua rolls 1d20+12 and gets 18."12 [1d20=6]
06[13:34] * Adail rocks back on his heels a bit, not quite giving voice to the full extent of his suspicions just yet.
[13:34] <Kamvakua> "Oh, then you would surely be willing to show it in your kitchens?"
06[13:34] * Mari eyes Fairhand for a long moment, then her bowl. Then she pushes the bowl away. "I'm glad I didn't swallow that after Adail started talking."
[13:34] <Kamvakua> "Fresh bison after all is more than enough meat for a house."
06[13:35] * Kamvakua gently thrumed his walking staff/pike against the floor at that, calling what he believed firmly to be a bluff.
01[13:36] <Knight> "This is the prime material plane, I believe," remarks Knight. "I assumed at least one of my siblings would end up here, but I cannot sense anything along those lines."
[13:36] <@Kotono> The Lady Fairhand meets Mari's eyes and smirks, "Aaaaah, what can you do. Sometimes they play along, sometimes they don't." She steps back, tittering with a hand to her lips, "A pity, the elf child put so much misery into every bite of that stew! Saaaaah, shall we get to to brass tacks then?"

It cackcles back and forth, "Eat guests! Guests, eat!" WIth wild abandon it rips hunks of flesh off it's arm, the flesh bursting into flames!

[14:47] <@Kotono> OOC: 60 damage, Knight takes half and Kam and the man takes full. DC 24 never looked quite so infuriating.
[14:47] <@Kotono> Blood pours down the thing's arms as it's flesh becomes a weapon! It grins wickedly at it's disfigurement, even as a great big BOOM rocks Knight! She rolls with it but Kamvakua is send reeling! This utterly obliterates the surviving armored man, gas erupting out! OOC: Fort yout wo. Collateral damage.

[14:50] <Mari> "All of you monsters are going in the pot yourselves when this is over with, I swear," Mari grumbles. She's not approaching that monster in her current state. She stays where she is, focusing on calling the winds to wrap around her. (OOC: AD up, not doing anything else but puking)
[14:51] <@Kotono> OOC: Okay. Nikkolai's up, puking.
03[14:51] * Kotono changes topic to 'Friar(23)>Mari(19;Nauseated 1 rounds)>Nikkolai(18)>Kam(16)>Adail=Yulia(11)>Armored Man 2(7)>Knight(6)'
01[14:52] <Knight> Nikkolai stands aside a window, continuing to clutch his stomach.
[14:52] <@Kotono> OOC: Kam, go. He's 60ft away from you.
06[14:54] * Kamvakua steadies himself amidst the flames and the fumes, knowing that if he was to stumble the fiend would tear easily into those behind him. "Come knight, let's shatter this man," He moved swiftly, closing the gap and stopping 20 feet out as his spear whipped out to trip him.
[14:54] <Kamvakua> roll 1d20+15 touch attack

[14:56] <@Kotono> WIth deft speed, Kamvakua endures his wounds and charges forward! He trips the beast and stabs it, folds of fat torn apart! As he rips them apart, gaping wounds are made! OOC: Adail and Yulia.
[14:56] <@Kotono> Yulia continues to hide on Nikkolai, pating his shoulder as he retches! OOC: Adail.

01[15:02] <Knight> OOC: This is a big shack, though.
[15:03] <@Kotono> Knight lunges ahead, impaling the beast! More holes are created! From these gashes and holes, more fire comes instantly and immediately at Knight and Kamvakua, seeking them out on teh spot! OOC: Ref you too, it has more after this, this is a swift action.

06[15:15] * Mari trudges towards the creature, determined to cut it to shreds as soon as she's able to do so! (OOC: just moving into attack range for next round. I assume with haste I can reach him.)
[15:15] <@Kotono> OOC: Okay. Nikkolai, no longe rsick, go!
01[15:15] <Knight> "There is a possibility we will not all perish," intones Nikkolai, pointing a finger through the window and instilling everyone within with some measure of hope.
01[15:16] <Knight> OOC: Good hope, +2 to... everything, really
01[15:16] <Knight> OOC: All rolls, not AC
[15:16] <@Kotono> OOC: Okay. Kam.
[15:17] <Kamvakua> OOC: Dc 17 will save btw. I forgot last time
06[15:17] * Kamvakua moves around the beast in a wide pattern to stay out of range, cornering it between him and knight and Mari...before lashing out, his pike glowing white with holy death.
[15:18] <Kamvakua> roll 1d20+21 attack 1
06[15:18] * Hatbot --> "Kamvakua rolls 1d20+21 attack 1 and gets 22."12 [1d20=1]

[15:19] <@Kotono> Kamvakua impales the vile creature! It goes still, body crackling with flame as it lies there! OOC: Done, Kam?
[15:19] <Kamvakua> OOC: DC 17 will save for being struck or be shaken Yes done.
[15:20] <@Kotono> OOC: Dead creatures don't make saves. ADail and Yulia, go.
[15:20] <@Kotono> Yulia continues what she's been doing so well.
01[15:21] <Knight> Something tells Knight that she wants to be anywhere but where she is, and makes to leave the shack, post-haste!
06[15:21] * Adail looks around, using his See Invis to try and make sure there aren't any hidden combatants he needs to throw Hunting Fangs at.
01[15:21] <Knight> OOC: Ah, yes, apologies
[15:21] <@Kotono> OOC: WAit your turn, Knight.
06[15:22] * Adail nods after a second, "I'm not seeing anything invisible sneaking around. I think that's that, then?"
[15:22] <@Kotono> OOC: Okay then, assumign that's it for Adail(Correct me if I'm wrong, you're up Knight.)
01[15:22] <Knight> Something tells Knight that she wants to be anywhere but where she is, and makes to leave the shack, post-haste! "Let us not linger."
[15:23] <@Kotono> Knight hurries away, as the fat body bursts aflame! Flames erupt around out of it asi t's body melts down! OOC: Ref, Kam.
[15:23] <@Kotono> OOC: M ari too, yes.
[15:23] <Mari> roll 1d20+15+1+2 don't fuck with me here, Hatbot
06[15:23] * Hatbot --> "Mari rolls 1d20+15+1+2 don't fuck with me here, Hatbot and gets 28."12 [1d20=10]
[15:24] <@Kotono> OOC: No damage for Mari since she evasions. Kam?
[15:24] <Kamvakua> roll 1d20+10+2+1-4 please
06[15:24] * Hatbot --> "Kamvakua rolls 1d20+10+2+1-4 please and gets 14."12 [1d20=5]
[15:24] <@Kotono> roll 10d6 full Kam
06[15:24] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 10d6 full Kam and gets 43."12 [10d6=4, 5, 4, 2, 5, 4, 6, 6, 4, 3]
[15:26] <@Kotono> Nothing is left of it! Only charred beds...and a burnt Kamvakua, body aflame as he lies there, downed! Mari somehow avoids it entirely as...everything ripples. You stand in a 20ft by 20ft cavern room. To the left is the wa you came in, the illusary floor in place. Ahead is a narrow passage, winding deeper in. The various corpses lie about here and there, as do you, all close together now that everything is much more compact. OOC: Kam's toasty.
[15:26] <@Kotono> all close together now that everything is much more compact. OOC: Kam's toasty, corpses are nearby of baddies. Go.
01[15:27] <Knight> "It was... a trick. From the beginning, I- ah," says Knight, now able to see the remnants of the battle proper.
06[15:27] * Adail rushes over to Kam, checking him over then pounding a tiny paw into the floor, "DAMMIT!"
[15:27] <Mari> "Kam? Kam!" Mari rushes to kneel by the fallen goliath, tearing up.
[15:28] <@Kotono> Kamvakua is currently cooking, quite dead and quite on fire.
[15:28] <@Kotono> Yulia looks on, tearing up. "I hate this place! I hate it, I hate it, I hate it!"
06[15:28] * Adail uses a create water spell to put him out, at the very least.
[15:28] <@Kotono> Kamvakua is now not burning, terribly burned and having left this mortal coil, but not burning.
01[15:30] <Knight> "Get it together!" barks Knight, sharply, before staggering herself and leaning against a wall. "We're- ugh- still in deep- demons won't stop for tears- we can't let our guard down!"
[15:30] <@Kotono> "We're going to die, aren't we," Yulia starts to sob, looking away and clinging to Nikkolai, "We're all going to die!"
06[15:31] * Adail pulls out his wand and starts seeing to Knight's wounds.
[15:31] <Adail> roll 5d5+5
06[15:31] * Hatbot --> "Adail rolls 5d5+5 and gets 17."12 [5d5=2, 1, 1, 5, 3]
[15:31] <Mari> "I know they won't," Mari replies, through sobs. "But we have to, for now at least. You can barely stand!"
[15:32] <@Kotono> Knight's wounds mend somewhat, but still terrible.
06[15:32] * Adail shakes the wand, "I swear this thing is defective." Then he tries again.
[15:32] <Adail> roll 5d8+5
06[15:32] * Hatbot --> "Adail rolls 5d8+5 and gets 31."12 [5d8=1, 8, 4, 8, 5]
01[15:32] <Knight> "We are not all going to die!" declares Knight, sounding angry. "I will not tolerate that kind of thinking. Damn that... that commoner woman... if Rogue were here..." she mutters, sliding down against the wall.
[15:34] <Mari> "I'm not saying we give up! I'm just saying, a few minutes, you know? Is it that hard to understand, Knight?"
06[15:35] * Adail incantates, calling on his bracers and hoping his own magic will have a bit more effect. (Empowered CLW)
[15:36] <Adail> roll 1.5*(1d8)+3
06[15:36] * Hatbot --> "Adail rolls 1.5*(1d8)+3 and gets 13.5."12 [1d8=7]
[15:36] <@Kotono> Yulia wipes her eyes, "W-what should we d-do now then...what should we do?"
01[15:36] <Knight> "We don't really have a choice at the moment," mutters Knight, grimacing. "Thank you, Adail. Should we chance across an exit from the Abyss, I suggest we take it," she adds, with a frown. "This world is far too dangerous for us to stumble about in."
[15:37] <Adail> After healing what he can, Adail looks up, "Knight, do you still have the magical harness you used to shrink Bell?"
[15:37] <Mari> "We...we did hear about a couple portals out. I dunno how far away any of them might be, though..."
01[15:38] <Knight> "I do. I see your intention," notes Knight, producing the harness with a frown.
[15:39] <Adail> "I'm sure we can transfer enough rations from the Bag of Holding to my Haversack to make room."
[15:40] <Mari> "I--what are you two planning...? Oh. Well...if it's the only way we can carry him...I can probably carry some food too, if I have to."
01[15:41] <Knight> "Right. Let's organize that now," states Knight, starting to unpack the bag to make some room. "If we find an escape within a week or so, there is a possibility we'll locate a method to ressurect him. If we sell off some goods, we should have sufficient funds."
06[15:43] * Adail helps, and talks while doing so, "To be honest, I suspect we'll find a portal to somewhere down this very tunnel. It's...well, predicting how demons think is always successful, but they have some common thought processes. Spur of the moment types, especially. I'd wager the ones here saw a portal nearby, then got the idea for thier trap from that."
[15:43] <Adail> He shrugs, "It's...not the safest bet in the world, but nothing here is. That's my guess, though."
[15:43] <Adail> *isn't always successful
[15:43] <Mari> "I have some money still, and an extra sword," Mari says, wiping her face with the back of her hand. "Throw it at anything that might help. I don't care."
01[15:44] <Knight> "In the end, it's as good a direction as any," notes Knight, finding a blanket to wrap Kamvakua up in. "Search the bodies of the defeated, as well. They may have valuables we could use," she adds.
[15:45] <Mari> "Yeah. Yeah, I know..." Mari mutters, hating the need to be pragmatic at a time like this. She wanders over to the dead Fairhand, kicking the body in desultory fashion before kneeling to search it.
[15:46] <@Kotono> She has some gold rings and jewelry on her, as well as a plain lead ring. She also has a scroll tucked within her robes.
01[15:46] <Knight> Always willing to help, Nikkolai invokes detect magic whilst maintaining a silent vigil.
06[15:46] * Adail checks them all over with Detect Magic.
06[15:46] * Mari takes all of it. "I dunno if any of this is magic...someone check? Nik, want to check out the scroll?"
01[15:47] <Knight> Nikkolai bends over to pick up the scroll.
01[15:47] <Knight> "The rings are also magical," he mumbles.
01[15:48] <Knight> "This scroll can heal critical injuries," he notes, passing it to Adail. "The rings are all of abjuration. Protective charms, I believe."
06[15:48] * Adail tucks the scroll away with a nod.
06[15:50] * Mari pockets the various jewelry. "Wish we had some idea what they did. I guess we can try 'em out later..." She proceeds to search the dead men as well, just to be thorough and to take her mind off other things.
01[15:51] <Knight> "If they're protective, they might be useful," replies Knight, slipping on the lead ring. "Even if we don't know what they do..."
[15:51] <@Kotono> The men have a long sword, full armor and a lead ring on each.
[15:51] <Kamvakua> roll 1d20+7 (+2 if enchant, +2 if binding)
06[15:51] * Hatbot --> "Kamvakua rolls 1d20+7 (+2 if enchant, +2 if binding) and gets 15."12 [1d20=8]
[15:52] <Mari> "More rings. All the same, I guess?"
01[15:53] <Knight> "I don't feel any ill effects," notes Knight.
[15:56] <@Kotono> Kamvakua's body shimmers for a moment, before fading away into nothingness, his gear and the ropes falling away from his corpse to the ground.
06[15:56] * Mari stuffs into her bag anything that's not being immediately taken by someone else, then leans against the cave wall. "Look, you guys want to stop and sleep for a while? You know we have to at some point, and I think everyone's beat right now. I--what?!"
01[15:56] <Knight> "Er..."
06[15:56] * Adail blinks, "What."
06[15:56] * Adail casts about with Detect Magic and See Invis!
01[15:57] <Knight> "Has the abyss consumed his body, even after taking his life?" murmurs Knight, wincing.
06[15:57] * Adail blinks and squints at where Kam's body was, "Magic...so much magic. It's nearly blinding..."
[15:58] <Mari> "The good kind?" Mari says tiredly, not having much hope for that in this place.
[15:59] <Adail> "I...really can't tell. It doesn't seem evil, itself. But neither is a fireball cast by an evil mage."
[15:59] <@Kotono> "I just..." Yulia shakes her head, "Let's...let's go or rest or do something? Please? Please? Before something else happens."
01[16:00] <Knight> "If anything happens, it will be when we rest," murmurs Knight. "You and Adail will have to stand guard. It is only us that need sleep to function, correct?"
[16:01] <Mari> "That doesn't help me much, Adail," Mari says. "Look...let's just set up here for the night? There's a big pit through that door, it should be hard for something to creep up on us from that side. Dump the bodies out there and, well, I'm sure there are worse places to sleep."
06[16:01] * Adail utters a quick prayer for his freind, then nods to Knight. "Yes, I will stand vigil. Let Yulia get some rest, though. Her body may not need it, but her mind does."
[16:02] <Mari> Mari, with a touch of vindictiveness, shoves Fairhand's body out the door, followed by her flunkies.
01[16:02] <Knight> "Perhaps she should stay wakeful, then. This place is a nightmare in itself; how terrible must the fever-dreams of creatures who sleep here be?" wonders Knight, appropriate some of Kamvakua's belongings before settling in to sleep.
[16:04] <Mari> "I don't know, Knight. But we will soon enough." Mari settles in to sleep as well, her cloak for a blanket and arm for a pillow. It's going to be a restful night, surely.
06[16:06] * Adail looks over at Yulia and nods, "I'll leave that for you to decide then. Rest or stay watch with me, as you will."
[16:06] <@Kotono> "I'll stay up," Yulia whimpers, going over to Adail.
06[16:08] * Adail nods, places a comforting paw on her shoulder, then settles in to keep watch.
