Mini Game Logs / Re: Into the Mine 027
Last post by Corwin - October 22, 2026, 06:14:54 AM19:19 <Ko> A direct hit, and the ooze retreats entirely, back whence it came and out of sight from the outside of the house. You splatter some, but it seems content not to pursue or give you any more shots.
19:19 <Ko> "Something's definitely learning not to confront us head on," Rina remarks after that.
19:20 <Skaya> "We can't even sneak past it! Because it's a wall of goo!"
19:21 <Devar> "That didn't really look like much of a mine though, did it?" Devar asks.
19:24 <Ko> "No, it did not," Liza sniffs, "Which means the mine itself is in a different location, though that may connect to it."
19:24 <Ko> "May, might, maybe. We stilld on't have a mine entrance," Rina grouses. "Only more of that miserable slime."
19:25 <Ko> "It's been here long enough to make its own burrow tunnels, assuming it can burrow or dig at all," LIza reasons, scowling at the house. "Which means we found one of those rather than the mine itself."
19:25 <Skaya> "How about we look at it from a different perspective?" Skaya muses. "Mine shafts are usually closer to the mountains, aren't they?"
19:26 <Devar> Devar nods. "Makes sense."
19:27 <Skaya> "Let's look for a road that used to lead to the mountains?" Skaya proposes. "It'll probably be neglected after decades, but we might see something here and there."
19:28 <Ko> "Good thinking, or at least the hilliest ground," A reasoned thought by Liza, "Worth trying."
19:28 <Ko> WIth that the party rises back up and...OOC: Give me Perception here, +2 bonus for reasoning it out well.
19:30 <Skaya> OOC: I'll take 10 and use inspiration for 40
19:32 <Ko> OOC: Okay. Devar? Just in case of spontaneous 20s and all that.
19:32 <Devar> roll 1d20+13 you never know
19:32 <Kobot> Devar rolled 1d20+13 you never know --> [ 1d20=16 ]{29}
19:33 <Ko> Sure enough, on the hillier land? It's almost entirely overgrown, but Skaya spots what might have once been a trail. It's overgrown, but from above you can see how the lay of the land would fit it.
19:33 <Skaya> "Ooh! Found one!" Skaya says, pointing it out. "Devar, want to let Anne in on it so she knows what we're doing?"
19:34 <Devar> Sure. Devar will let Anne know the details of where they're going in case she comes over or anything happens!
19:35 <Devar> "Sure," Devar says as he does that. OOC: My head is not all fully today, sorry
19:35 <Ko> OOC: No worries, been there plenty of times.
19:35 <Ko> OOC: Going to wait on Devar returning, Skaya?
19:37 <Skaya> OOC: Telepathy ring?
19:37 <Devar> OOC: Sorry, that's on me, yes he will let her know via the ring. Good lord, it is one of those days for me.
19:40 <Skaya> OOC: Let's go~
19:40 <Ko> A bit of telepathy gets simple confirmation, the entire thing easily enough done. With that, the party heads along to the trail. You fly onward and...OOC: Both PErception and Survival here. +2 bonus to both if you have 5 or more ranks of K:Geography or K:Dungeoneering.
19:41 <Devar> roll 1d20+11 you never know perception
19:41 <Kobot> Devar rolled 1d20+11 you never know perception --> [ 1d20=17 ]{28}
19:41 <Skaya> roll 1d20+22 I actually do have it, perception
19:41 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+22 I actually do have it, perception --> [ 1d20=17 ]{39}
19:42 <Devar> roll 1d20+1 untrained survival woo baby
19:42 <Kobot> Devar rolled 1d20+1 untrained survival woo baby --> [ 1d20=20 ]{21}
19:42 <Ko> OOC: For giggles, give me 1d20+21, Devar.
19:42 <Skaya> Taking 10 for 30 with inspiration for survival
19:42 <Devar> roll 1d20+21 gimme that sweet 1 kobot
19:42 <Kobot> Devar rolled 1d20+21 gimme that sweet 1 kobot --> [ 1d20=17 ]{38}
19:48 <Ko> It's tough to find. It's so overgrown, but a combination of Devar's surprising survival skills and Skaya's sharp eyes lead to the end of the path. Here, overgrown with vines and trees, is a large cave opening. Broken and rusted tools litter the ground, such as pickaxes and shovels.
19:49 — Skaya starts cleaning up the entrance. It might waste some time, but if they need to escape in a hurry it'd be best to have the opening as clean as possible.
19:49 <Devar> Devar will help cut away it with his sword!
19:55 <Ko> IT takes a little work, but the entrance is revealed. No sign of ooze, just an old cavern wtih visible, if worn by time, wooden supports and structure within. More broken tools lie ahead, as well as a large sack of something. The sack's rotten enough to see inside is some sort of rock or ore.
19:56 — Skaya kneels by the sack to check the ores. Perhaps she could tell what it is!
20:04 <Ko> No need to look too hard. An examination shows they're nothing but common rock and rubble. It's only valuble if you like rocks.
20:04 <Ko> In the meantime, "No sign of the slime yet," Rina keeps her sword out and wnaders just a little ahead. "Wonder how deep it's in?"
20:04 <Skaya> "Time to find out!" Skaya says, happy that Rina suggested it. Then, she leads the way in.
20:07 <Ko> OOC: Since it's likely going to matter here, what's your general formation?
20:08 <Ko> The party heads right on in. The mine entrance is full of old things. Old tools, old sacks, old supplies. Nothing that looks worth salvaging at a glance, and a single path leads further in. There's no light but what you bring, the light from outside barely reaching within.
20:10 <Skaya> OOC: Skaya, Rina, Liza, Devar
20:10 — Skaya happens to be glowing due to Devar's armor spell!
20:11 <Ko> That provides ample light to see. Ahead the path winds on, but not far. It quickly comes to a larger central area. The walls are dug out here, various sacks, barrels and wooden carts all about here. It's big enough for a little wooden shack to be built to the side, its door torn off. Inside old furniture and a table can be seen. Branching out from here are five different paths, each one supported
20:11 <Ko> by wood. There's a sixth that is not, dug out and rougher-looking.
20:13 <Ko> Rina wordlessly drifts towards the shack, looking ahead carefully. "I'd guess that's the boss's shack, where he oversaw everything."
20:14 <Devar> "I'm not terribly well-versed in this craft, but I'd imagine the newer tunnel has more potential?" Devar asks. "But we'll probably explore all of them anyway."
20:15 <Ko> Liza clicks her tongue in thought, "It would have the most unmined ore, all things being equal. That or it's a tunnel they trie dbut found it wasn't as rich as the others, so was abandoned."
20:15 <Ko> "In other words, you don't know." Rina retorts, checking over the shack. "Hey, there's something in here!"
20:17 <Devar> Devar will go over to check!
20:18 <Ko> Inside the shack, the tableis not empty. Rina puts down a rusted but intact set of iron keys, as lying on the table itself is the remnants of a map. It's old and faded with age, but it looks like some sort of tunnel map, perhaps. It's just on the edge of still being readable, and even that is barely.
20:18 <Ko> Liza lingers outside, keeping her eyes peeled.
20:19 <Ko> "Here," Rina taps a finger in the air just above the map. "It's in awful shape, though. I don't suppose you have the right spell to fix it up?"
20:21 <Devar> "I'm not sure if it'd work, but Prestidigitation can at least clean it." Devar says. "I'm not sure what other spells would work to make legible."
20:24 <Ko> "Probably not. Skaya? Liza?" Rina calls on over.
20:24 <Ko> Liza glances back, "Specialized magic would be best, not the sort you prepare for a fight."
20:25 <Ko> "I thought so," Rina lets out a little sigh, "Still, keys." She takes those, "Better than having to spell doors open or pick locks."
20:26 <Ko> "OBviously they're for the rooms that store the valuables," Liza comments, glancing back again, "So that peasants can't run off with a small fortune."
20:26 <Skaya> "Yes, it'll save Devar some time," Skaya agrees, peering at the map. Would it help if she tried to trace it and drew on a blank piece of paper?
20:26 <Ko> You could try, at least. It wouldn't be easy, but it's worth a try.
20:29 <Skaya> "I can try to clean up the map some," Skaya offers, "but it'll destroy it."
20:30 <Devar> "I say go for it, we can always add to what you draw as we explore, and then don't have to worry about it being illegible." Devar says.
20:30 ⇐ Iddy quit (uid408070@lunarnet-B8D5816D.irccloud.com) Quit: Connection closed for inactivity
20:32 — Skaya nods, and decides to spend some time on this.
20:33 <Ko> OOC: Okay. Perception while Skaya works, Devar. Skaya, do you have any relevant skills to this?
20:33 <Devar> roll 1d20+11 you never know perception
20:33 <Kobot> Devar rolled 1d20+11 you never know perception --> [ 1d20=1 ]{12}
20:35 <Skaya> OOC: Nothing particularly relevant. Maybe knowledge geography?
20:35 <Ko> OOC: Sure, that's tangential enough to at least provide something, though it won't be great. Give me a check on it.
20:37 <Skaya> roll 1d20+13+8
20:37 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+13+8 --> [ 1d20=7 ]{28}
20:39 <Ko> You work with what you have. IT's not a lot, but you manage to get something useable for two of the established tunnels. One looks to be mostly straight and with a few branch offs. The other has lots of little side paths, cubbies and a notation that suggests it drops sharply lower into the earth. A few of the farthest tunnels on that path are crossed out, notably.
20:43 <Ko> As Skaya finishes up, Rina looks over, "Better than nothing. If that's right, that one path might get unstable or there's bad air."
20:45 <Devar> Devar nods. "Definitely something to save us some time. I wonder if they're crossed off due to difficulty or just not finding anything?" He asks. "Either way, where do we start?"
20:46 <Skaya> "We do carry a portable source of breathable air," Skaya muses. "And I can skip the need for breathing altogether if it comes to that and we need to explore. Let's look at the first path first? The drop into the earth is interesting."
20:46 <Ko> "My gut says the unfinished one," Rina speculates, "But maybe whichever is closest to the village would be best. That is, if we want to find the ooze."
20:48 <Devar> "If the drop in leads down back to where we came from." Devar agrees. "We also likely will see signs of it, if it came from here."
20:49 <Skaya> "I proposed the first path since it's the quickest to check out," Skaya adds. "Let's give it a try. We can always return and look elsewhere if it doesn't pan out."
20:51 <Ko> "Let's try it," Rina agrees, as...OOC: Just to be clear, which one do y'all wanna try then? Sec regardless.
20:51 <Skaya> OOC: In order, the first, then the second, from the two we have a map for
20:56 <Ko> OOC: Perceptionb oth of you, but +4 bonus fo r??? reasons.
20:56 <Devar> roll 1d20+15 you never know perception
20:56 <Kobot> Devar rolled 1d20+15 you never know perception --> [ 1d20=10 ]{25}
20:57 <Skaya> roll 1d20+24
20:57 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+24 --> [ 1d20=16 ]{40}
20:57 <Ko> Hm? As you walk out, you feel it. A familiar sensation, one you've dealt with before. IT brings to mind ankhegs, the ground beneath you shaking slightly.
20:57 <Skaya> "Ankhegs?! Here?!" Skaya exclaims, taking to the air in the cramped confines of the tunnel.
20:59 <Ko> "Oh no!" Rina jukes to the side as Liza goes in the opposite direction. "Why now!?"
21:00 <Devar> Devar raises himself up as well off the ground with a frown.
21:03 <Ko> Ah! Just in time, because the ground breaks open. You know an ankheg when you see it, but this one has a much bigger mouth. Far too big, full of teeth as it lets out a high pitched whine. "Oh come on!" Rina exclaims, "Whatever you are, stop that!"
21:04 <Ko> "What is wrong with your world's underground?" Liza shoots back, "Something is very wrong with everything you all hav eunderground!"
21:04 — Skaya shoots the emerging ankheg! Time to see if it bleeds goo!
21:13 <Ko> OOC: In that case, init.
21:13 <Ko> roll 1d20+14 Rina
21:13 <Kobot> Ko rolled 1d20+14 Rina --> [ 1d20=11 ]{25}
21:13 <Ko> roll 1d20+6 LIza

21:13 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+13 --> [ 1d20=16 ]{29}

21:13 <Kobot> Ko rolled 1d20+5 ??? --> [ 1d20=10 ]{15}

21:13 <Kobot> Ko rolled 1d20+6 --> [ 1d20=1 ]{7}

21:13 <Kobot> Ko rolled 1d20+1 ??? --> [ 1d20=5 ]{6}
21:14 <Devar> roll 1d20+3
21:14 <Kobot> Devar rolled 1d20+3 --> [ 1d20=16 ]{19}

21:15 <Skaya> roll 1d20+14 ranged touch on visible ankheg
21:15 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+14 ranged touch on visible ankheg --> [ 1d20=4 ]{18}
21:15 <Skaya> roll 8d6
21:15 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 8d6 --> [ 8d6=27 ]{27}
21:18 <Ko> WHAM! Water jets hit the ankheg dead on. It's tossed out of its burrow and to the side, end over end. Not down but hit, even as Liza...OOC: Liza holds to let the melee girl do it and not waste valuable resources, and act after depending. Go Rina.
21:18 <Ko> Rina dashes after it, "Get back here," She snaps, sword following.
21:18 <Ko> roll 1d20+18
21:18 <Kobot> Ko rolled 1d20+18 --> [ 1d20=15 ]{33}
21:18 <Ko> roll 1d6+3+1d6+3d6
21:18 <Kobot> Ko rolled 1d6+3+1d6+3d6 --> [ 1d6=6 1d6=5 3d6=5 ]{19}
21:20 <Ko> Rina leaps atop its side and stabs down deep into it. It tries to right itself even as it bleeds goo, water pooling on the floor. She lands to the side untouched, in a crouch. It's not down as...OOC: Now LIza.
21:20 <Ko> INit is Skaya (29) > Rina (25) > Liza (24) > Devar (19) > Ankheg (17) > ???2 (15) > ???1 (12) > ???3 (7) > ???4 (6)
21:21 <Devar> OOC: Is it bleeding goo like the definitely-not-mimic houses were or just bleeding regular Ankheg good?
21:21 <Ko> OOC: The former.
21:21 <Skaya> "I knew it!"
21:21 <Ko> Liza stays back and readies a spell, hand reaching in to grasp something to pull out. OOC: She'll finish it if Devar doesn't. Yeah, she's spent enough lately she's trying not to spend more before a bigger payday. Go Devar.
21:22 <Ko> "I know, right?" Rina shouts back in the meantime.
21:22 <Devar> "Of all the things to take the form of!" Devar shouts, flying down to try and finish this first one off!
21:22 <Devar> roll 1d20+15 whack
21:22 <Kobot> Devar rolled 1d20+15 whack --> [ 1d20=5 ]{20}
21:24 <Devar> roll 1d8+7 if that hit
21:24 <Kobot> Devar rolled 1d8+7 if that hit --> [ 1d8=4 ]{11}
21:31 <Ko> OOC: Bare hit, yes. Was deep in something DMy on my end.
21:32 <Devar> OOC: hooray
21:32 <Ko> Devar dashes in and brings his sword down. IT's a true strike,a direct hit to its head. With it wounded and struggling, Devar lands the finishing blow. LIza lets out a breath of relief, "Well done," she begins, before-! OOC: More, still in init.
21:32 <Ko> INit is Skaya (29) > Rina (25) > Liza (24) > Devar (19) > ???2 (15) > ???1 (12) > ???3 (7) > ???4 (6)
21:32 <Ko> Off to the side, a wall breaks open. ANother ankheg tears through, landing, distorted as the last one was. "Another one!" LIza yelps, as...OOC: LIza will now go, since this is getting ugly.
21:33 <Ko> INit is Skaya (29) > Rina (25) > Devar (19) > Ankheg 2 (15) > Liza (14) > ???1 (12) > ???3 (7) > ???4 (6)
21:41 <Ko> Liza dashes forward, hair fanning out as she extends her hand out. SHe chants a few words, crackles of electricty flying at the ankheg dead on.
21:41 <Ko> roll 1d20 touch AC so this is mostly a 1/20 check
21:41 <Kobot> Ko rolled 1d20 touch AC so this is mostly a 1/20 check --> [ 1d20=7 ]{7}
21:41 <Ko> roll 6d6
21:41 <Kobot> Ko rolled 6d6 --> [ 6d6=18 ]{18}
21:42 <Ko> LIghtning rakes over the ankheg, just in time as -! AH! Beneath Rina the ground breaks, another ankheg coming out, this one right at her.
21:42 <Ko> INit is Skaya (29) > Rina (25) > Devar (19) > Ankheg 2 (15) > Liza (14) > Ankheg 3 (12) > ???3 (7) > ???4 (6)
21:42 <Ko> roll 1d20+15 chomp chomp
21:42 <Kobot> Ko rolled 1d20+15 chomp chomp --> [ 1d20=13 ]{28}
21:43 <Ko> Devar's mage armor shines around her, absorbing the huge bite harmlessly. "There's more of-!" It's all Rina can get out, as from above, the ceiling shatters, an ankheg falling right at Devar.
21:43 <Ko> roll 1d20+16 falling chomp chomp
21:43 <Kobot> Ko rolled 1d20+16 falling chomp chomp --> [ 1d20=1 ]{17}
21:43 <Ko> Devar doesn't even have to dodge. IT misses and smacks into the ground hard, completely whiffing on anything at all.
21:43 <Ko> roll 2d6 fall damage for general failure
21:43 <Kobot> Ko rolled 2d6 fall damage for general failure --> [ 2d6=4 ]{4}

21:44 <Ko> ""So many!" Rina hurries back to the side, the magic lit cavern echoing with battle sounds now. OOC: Whatever the last one does is unknown. Skaya, go.
21:45 → Iddy joined (uid408070@lunarnet-B8D5816D.irccloud.com)
21:45 — Skaya steps over to the ankheg that attacked Rina, doing her best to beat it up!
21:45 <Skaya> roll 1d20+14 haste
21:45 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+14 haste --> [ 1d20=16 ]{30}
21:45 <Skaya> roll 1d20+14 haste

21:45 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 3d6+6+1d8 #2 --> [ 3d6=7 1d8=2 ]{15}
21:46 <Skaya> roll 3d6+6+1d8 #3
21:46 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 3d6+6+1d8 #3 --> [ 3d6=11 1d8=3 ]{20}
21:49 <Ko> Three solid hits. A kick to its lower parts and then two crushing punches leave it reeling. Flesh cracks and teeth break, all of it pushed back. IN time for Rina to settle in, going to finish what Skaya started, "Together!"
21:49 <Ko> roll 1d20+16
21:49 <Kobot> Ko rolled 1d20+16 --> [ 1d20=14 ]{30}
21:49 <Ko> roll 1d20+16
21:49 <Kobot> Ko rolled 1d20+16 --> [ 1d20=10 ]{26}

21:51 <Ko> What follows is simple bloody carnage. WIth the ankheg half broken, Rina attacks it side and strikes thrice. Each is a deep stab, the last barely getting resistance. With it vulnerable, all it can do is be overwhelmed. Then...OOC: Devar, go.
21:52 <Devar> Since there's a target right there, Devar wields Goldenfang and tries to dispatch it, or at least injure it!
21:52 <Devar> roll 1d20+15 whack
21:52 <Kobot> Devar rolled 1d20+15 whack --> [ 1d20=17 ]{32}
21:52 <Devar> roll 1d20+10 whack
21:52 <Kobot> Devar rolled 1d20+10 whack --> [ 1d20=4 ]{14}
21:53 <Devar> roll 1d8+7 whack
21:53 <Kobot> Devar rolled 1d8+7 whack --> [ 1d8=8 ]{15}
21:56 <Ko> Devar takes a swing and slicesthrough its side. More of that strange goo flows from the wound, as then the second ankheg rears up and attacks...next time! OOC: Just a few minutes early, but we'll start there tomorrow.
19:19 <Ko> "Something's definitely learning not to confront us head on," Rina remarks after that.
19:20 <Skaya> "We can't even sneak past it! Because it's a wall of goo!"
19:21 <Devar> "That didn't really look like much of a mine though, did it?" Devar asks.
19:24 <Ko> "No, it did not," Liza sniffs, "Which means the mine itself is in a different location, though that may connect to it."
19:24 <Ko> "May, might, maybe. We stilld on't have a mine entrance," Rina grouses. "Only more of that miserable slime."
19:25 <Ko> "It's been here long enough to make its own burrow tunnels, assuming it can burrow or dig at all," LIza reasons, scowling at the house. "Which means we found one of those rather than the mine itself."
19:25 <Skaya> "How about we look at it from a different perspective?" Skaya muses. "Mine shafts are usually closer to the mountains, aren't they?"
19:26 <Devar> Devar nods. "Makes sense."
19:27 <Skaya> "Let's look for a road that used to lead to the mountains?" Skaya proposes. "It'll probably be neglected after decades, but we might see something here and there."
19:28 <Ko> "Good thinking, or at least the hilliest ground," A reasoned thought by Liza, "Worth trying."
19:28 <Ko> WIth that the party rises back up and...OOC: Give me Perception here, +2 bonus for reasoning it out well.
19:30 <Skaya> OOC: I'll take 10 and use inspiration for 40
19:32 <Ko> OOC: Okay. Devar? Just in case of spontaneous 20s and all that.
19:32 <Devar> roll 1d20+13 you never know
19:32 <Kobot> Devar rolled 1d20+13 you never know --> [ 1d20=16 ]{29}
19:33 <Ko> Sure enough, on the hillier land? It's almost entirely overgrown, but Skaya spots what might have once been a trail. It's overgrown, but from above you can see how the lay of the land would fit it.
19:33 <Skaya> "Ooh! Found one!" Skaya says, pointing it out. "Devar, want to let Anne in on it so she knows what we're doing?"
19:34 <Devar> Sure. Devar will let Anne know the details of where they're going in case she comes over or anything happens!
19:35 <Devar> "Sure," Devar says as he does that. OOC: My head is not all fully today, sorry
19:35 <Ko> OOC: No worries, been there plenty of times.
19:35 <Ko> OOC: Going to wait on Devar returning, Skaya?
19:37 <Skaya> OOC: Telepathy ring?
19:37 <Devar> OOC: Sorry, that's on me, yes he will let her know via the ring. Good lord, it is one of those days for me.
19:40 <Skaya> OOC: Let's go~
19:40 <Ko> A bit of telepathy gets simple confirmation, the entire thing easily enough done. With that, the party heads along to the trail. You fly onward and...OOC: Both PErception and Survival here. +2 bonus to both if you have 5 or more ranks of K:Geography or K:Dungeoneering.
19:41 <Devar> roll 1d20+11 you never know perception
19:41 <Kobot> Devar rolled 1d20+11 you never know perception --> [ 1d20=17 ]{28}
19:41 <Skaya> roll 1d20+22 I actually do have it, perception
19:41 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+22 I actually do have it, perception --> [ 1d20=17 ]{39}
19:42 <Devar> roll 1d20+1 untrained survival woo baby
19:42 <Kobot> Devar rolled 1d20+1 untrained survival woo baby --> [ 1d20=20 ]{21}
19:42 <Ko> OOC: For giggles, give me 1d20+21, Devar.
19:42 <Skaya> Taking 10 for 30 with inspiration for survival
19:42 <Devar> roll 1d20+21 gimme that sweet 1 kobot
19:42 <Kobot> Devar rolled 1d20+21 gimme that sweet 1 kobot --> [ 1d20=17 ]{38}
19:48 <Ko> It's tough to find. It's so overgrown, but a combination of Devar's surprising survival skills and Skaya's sharp eyes lead to the end of the path. Here, overgrown with vines and trees, is a large cave opening. Broken and rusted tools litter the ground, such as pickaxes and shovels.
19:49 — Skaya starts cleaning up the entrance. It might waste some time, but if they need to escape in a hurry it'd be best to have the opening as clean as possible.
19:49 <Devar> Devar will help cut away it with his sword!
19:55 <Ko> IT takes a little work, but the entrance is revealed. No sign of ooze, just an old cavern wtih visible, if worn by time, wooden supports and structure within. More broken tools lie ahead, as well as a large sack of something. The sack's rotten enough to see inside is some sort of rock or ore.
19:56 — Skaya kneels by the sack to check the ores. Perhaps she could tell what it is!
20:04 <Ko> No need to look too hard. An examination shows they're nothing but common rock and rubble. It's only valuble if you like rocks.
20:04 <Ko> In the meantime, "No sign of the slime yet," Rina keeps her sword out and wnaders just a little ahead. "Wonder how deep it's in?"
20:04 <Skaya> "Time to find out!" Skaya says, happy that Rina suggested it. Then, she leads the way in.
20:07 <Ko> OOC: Since it's likely going to matter here, what's your general formation?
20:08 <Ko> The party heads right on in. The mine entrance is full of old things. Old tools, old sacks, old supplies. Nothing that looks worth salvaging at a glance, and a single path leads further in. There's no light but what you bring, the light from outside barely reaching within.
20:10 <Skaya> OOC: Skaya, Rina, Liza, Devar
20:10 — Skaya happens to be glowing due to Devar's armor spell!
20:11 <Ko> That provides ample light to see. Ahead the path winds on, but not far. It quickly comes to a larger central area. The walls are dug out here, various sacks, barrels and wooden carts all about here. It's big enough for a little wooden shack to be built to the side, its door torn off. Inside old furniture and a table can be seen. Branching out from here are five different paths, each one supported
20:11 <Ko> by wood. There's a sixth that is not, dug out and rougher-looking.
20:13 <Ko> Rina wordlessly drifts towards the shack, looking ahead carefully. "I'd guess that's the boss's shack, where he oversaw everything."
20:14 <Devar> "I'm not terribly well-versed in this craft, but I'd imagine the newer tunnel has more potential?" Devar asks. "But we'll probably explore all of them anyway."
20:15 <Ko> Liza clicks her tongue in thought, "It would have the most unmined ore, all things being equal. That or it's a tunnel they trie dbut found it wasn't as rich as the others, so was abandoned."
20:15 <Ko> "In other words, you don't know." Rina retorts, checking over the shack. "Hey, there's something in here!"
20:17 <Devar> Devar will go over to check!
20:18 <Ko> Inside the shack, the tableis not empty. Rina puts down a rusted but intact set of iron keys, as lying on the table itself is the remnants of a map. It's old and faded with age, but it looks like some sort of tunnel map, perhaps. It's just on the edge of still being readable, and even that is barely.
20:18 <Ko> Liza lingers outside, keeping her eyes peeled.
20:19 <Ko> "Here," Rina taps a finger in the air just above the map. "It's in awful shape, though. I don't suppose you have the right spell to fix it up?"
20:21 <Devar> "I'm not sure if it'd work, but Prestidigitation can at least clean it." Devar says. "I'm not sure what other spells would work to make legible."
20:24 <Ko> "Probably not. Skaya? Liza?" Rina calls on over.
20:24 <Ko> Liza glances back, "Specialized magic would be best, not the sort you prepare for a fight."
20:25 <Ko> "I thought so," Rina lets out a little sigh, "Still, keys." She takes those, "Better than having to spell doors open or pick locks."
20:26 <Ko> "OBviously they're for the rooms that store the valuables," Liza comments, glancing back again, "So that peasants can't run off with a small fortune."
20:26 <Skaya> "Yes, it'll save Devar some time," Skaya agrees, peering at the map. Would it help if she tried to trace it and drew on a blank piece of paper?
20:26 <Ko> You could try, at least. It wouldn't be easy, but it's worth a try.
20:29 <Skaya> "I can try to clean up the map some," Skaya offers, "but it'll destroy it."
20:30 <Devar> "I say go for it, we can always add to what you draw as we explore, and then don't have to worry about it being illegible." Devar says.
20:30 ⇐ Iddy quit (uid408070@lunarnet-B8D5816D.irccloud.com) Quit: Connection closed for inactivity
20:32 — Skaya nods, and decides to spend some time on this.
20:33 <Ko> OOC: Okay. Perception while Skaya works, Devar. Skaya, do you have any relevant skills to this?
20:33 <Devar> roll 1d20+11 you never know perception
20:33 <Kobot> Devar rolled 1d20+11 you never know perception --> [ 1d20=1 ]{12}
20:35 <Skaya> OOC: Nothing particularly relevant. Maybe knowledge geography?
20:35 <Ko> OOC: Sure, that's tangential enough to at least provide something, though it won't be great. Give me a check on it.
20:37 <Skaya> roll 1d20+13+8
20:37 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+13+8 --> [ 1d20=7 ]{28}
20:39 <Ko> You work with what you have. IT's not a lot, but you manage to get something useable for two of the established tunnels. One looks to be mostly straight and with a few branch offs. The other has lots of little side paths, cubbies and a notation that suggests it drops sharply lower into the earth. A few of the farthest tunnels on that path are crossed out, notably.
20:43 <Ko> As Skaya finishes up, Rina looks over, "Better than nothing. If that's right, that one path might get unstable or there's bad air."
20:45 <Devar> Devar nods. "Definitely something to save us some time. I wonder if they're crossed off due to difficulty or just not finding anything?" He asks. "Either way, where do we start?"
20:46 <Skaya> "We do carry a portable source of breathable air," Skaya muses. "And I can skip the need for breathing altogether if it comes to that and we need to explore. Let's look at the first path first? The drop into the earth is interesting."
20:46 <Ko> "My gut says the unfinished one," Rina speculates, "But maybe whichever is closest to the village would be best. That is, if we want to find the ooze."
20:48 <Devar> "If the drop in leads down back to where we came from." Devar agrees. "We also likely will see signs of it, if it came from here."
20:49 <Skaya> "I proposed the first path since it's the quickest to check out," Skaya adds. "Let's give it a try. We can always return and look elsewhere if it doesn't pan out."
20:51 <Ko> "Let's try it," Rina agrees, as...OOC: Just to be clear, which one do y'all wanna try then? Sec regardless.
20:51 <Skaya> OOC: In order, the first, then the second, from the two we have a map for
20:56 <Ko> OOC: Perceptionb oth of you, but +4 bonus fo r??? reasons.

20:57 <Skaya> roll 1d20+24
20:57 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+24 --> [ 1d20=16 ]{40}
20:57 <Ko> Hm? As you walk out, you feel it. A familiar sensation, one you've dealt with before. IT brings to mind ankhegs, the ground beneath you shaking slightly.
20:57 <Skaya> "Ankhegs?! Here?!" Skaya exclaims, taking to the air in the cramped confines of the tunnel.
20:59 <Ko> "Oh no!" Rina jukes to the side as Liza goes in the opposite direction. "Why now!?"
21:00 <Devar> Devar raises himself up as well off the ground with a frown.
21:03 <Ko> Ah! Just in time, because the ground breaks open. You know an ankheg when you see it, but this one has a much bigger mouth. Far too big, full of teeth as it lets out a high pitched whine. "Oh come on!" Rina exclaims, "Whatever you are, stop that!"
21:04 <Ko> "What is wrong with your world's underground?" Liza shoots back, "Something is very wrong with everything you all hav eunderground!"
21:04 — Skaya shoots the emerging ankheg! Time to see if it bleeds goo!
21:13 <Ko> OOC: In that case, init.
21:13 <Ko> roll 1d20+14 Rina
21:13 <Kobot> Ko rolled 1d20+14 Rina --> [ 1d20=11 ]{25}

21:15 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 8d6 --> [ 8d6=27 ]{27}
21:18 <Ko> WHAM! Water jets hit the ankheg dead on. It's tossed out of its burrow and to the side, end over end. Not down but hit, even as Liza...OOC: Liza holds to let the melee girl do it and not waste valuable resources, and act after depending. Go Rina.
21:18 <Ko> Rina dashes after it, "Get back here," She snaps, sword following.
21:18 <Ko> roll 1d20+18
21:18 <Kobot> Ko rolled 1d20+18 --> [ 1d20=15 ]{33}

21:20 <Ko> Rina leaps atop its side and stabs down deep into it. It tries to right itself even as it bleeds goo, water pooling on the floor. She lands to the side untouched, in a crouch. It's not down as...OOC: Now LIza.

21:21 <Ko> OOC: The former.
21:21 <Skaya> "I knew it!"
21:21 <Ko> Liza stays back and readies a spell, hand reaching in to grasp something to pull out. OOC: She'll finish it if Devar doesn't. Yeah, she's spent enough lately she's trying not to spend more before a bigger payday. Go Devar.
21:22 <Ko> "I know, right?" Rina shouts back in the meantime.
21:22 <Devar> "Of all the things to take the form of!" Devar shouts, flying down to try and finish this first one off!
21:22 <Devar> roll 1d20+15 whack
21:22 <Kobot> Devar rolled 1d20+15 whack --> [ 1d20=5 ]{20}
21:24 <Devar> roll 1d8+7 if that hit
21:24 <Kobot> Devar rolled 1d8+7 if that hit --> [ 1d8=4 ]{11}
21:31 <Ko> OOC: Bare hit, yes. Was deep in something DMy on my end.
21:32 <Devar> OOC: hooray
21:32 <Ko> Devar dashes in and brings his sword down. IT's a true strike,a direct hit to its head. With it wounded and struggling, Devar lands the finishing blow. LIza lets out a breath of relief, "Well done," she begins, before-! OOC: More, still in init.
21:32 <Ko> INit is Skaya (29) > Rina (25) > Liza (24) > Devar (19) > ???2 (15) > ???1 (12) > ???3 (7) > ???4 (6)
21:32 <Ko> Off to the side, a wall breaks open. ANother ankheg tears through, landing, distorted as the last one was. "Another one!" LIza yelps, as...OOC: LIza will now go, since this is getting ugly.

21:41 <Ko> Liza dashes forward, hair fanning out as she extends her hand out. SHe chants a few words, crackles of electricty flying at the ankheg dead on.
21:41 <Ko> roll 1d20 touch AC so this is mostly a 1/20 check
21:41 <Kobot> Ko rolled 1d20 touch AC so this is mostly a 1/20 check --> [ 1d20=7 ]{7}

21:41 <Kobot> Ko rolled 6d6 --> [ 6d6=18 ]{18}
21:42 <Ko> LIghtning rakes over the ankheg, just in time as -! AH! Beneath Rina the ground breaks, another ankheg coming out, this one right at her.

21:42 <Kobot> Ko rolled 1d20+15 chomp chomp --> [ 1d20=13 ]{28}
21:43 <Ko> Devar's mage armor shines around her, absorbing the huge bite harmlessly. "There's more of-!" It's all Rina can get out, as from above, the ceiling shatters, an ankheg falling right at Devar.
21:43 <Ko> roll 1d20+16 falling chomp chomp
21:43 <Kobot> Ko rolled 1d20+16 falling chomp chomp --> [ 1d20=1 ]{17}
21:43 <Ko> Devar doesn't even have to dodge. IT misses and smacks into the ground hard, completely whiffing on anything at all.
21:43 <Ko> roll 2d6 fall damage for general failure

21:46 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 3d6+6+1d8 #3 --> [ 3d6=11 1d8=3 ]{20}
21:49 <Ko> Three solid hits. A kick to its lower parts and then two crushing punches leave it reeling. Flesh cracks and teeth break, all of it pushed back. IN time for Rina to settle in, going to finish what Skaya started, "Together!"
21:49 <Ko> roll 1d20+16
21:49 <Kobot> Ko rolled 1d20+16 --> [ 1d20=14 ]{30}

21:51 <Ko> What follows is simple bloody carnage. WIth the ankheg half broken, Rina attacks it side and strikes thrice. Each is a deep stab, the last barely getting resistance. With it vulnerable, all it can do is be overwhelmed. Then...OOC: Devar, go.
21:52 <Devar> Since there's a target right there, Devar wields Goldenfang and tries to dispatch it, or at least injure it!

21:56 <Ko> Devar takes a swing and slicesthrough its side. More of that strange goo flows from the wound, as then the second ankheg rears up and attacks...next time! OOC: Just a few minutes early, but we'll start there tomorrow.

Mini Game Logs / Into the Mine 027
Last post by Corwin - October 22, 2026, 06:14:35 AM19:06 <Kotono> The night passes quietly. You hear the howl of wolves a few times, but never too close. It rains in the later stretch of things, and is still gray and drizzly come morning. Unpleasant weather, but nothing to stop the group as they rise and shine.
19:07 — Skaya waits for Sanda to wake up properly, observing her for now.
19:09 <Kotono> Sanda rises and gets a quiet breakfast. She's not talkative on a glance, but doesn't seem twitchy or unusually out of sorts.
19:09 <Skaya> "How did you sleep?" Skaya asks, sitting down next to her.
19:14 <Devar> Devar for his part will scout the air to make sure nothing seems too amiss around them!
19:15 <Kotono> After a few moments to gather herself, "Nightmares," Is all she says, then with a sigh, "I won't fall apart. Statistically speaking, it's normal to have this sort of problem." She rubs her restored arm. "I go between thinking it didn't happen and trying not to scream that it did. I've been hurt before, but that was different."
19:15 <Kotono> OOC: Perception, Devar.
19:15 <Skaya> "It's a lucky hit when we manage it," Skaya voices.
19:16 <Devar> OOC: Take 10 for 22
19:17 → Iddy joined (uid408070@lunarnet-B8D5816D.irccloud.com)
19:19 <Kotono> Devar can see all is rainy, but nothing much seems to be out. The forest and rain makes it hard to tell much, admittedly. From the looks of it, there's no end to the rain in sight. It's also a bit chillier than summer rain, hints that the seasons are indeed moving on.
19:20 <Kotono> Sanda quietly shakes her head, "No matter how I try to convine myself, I-" Her voice stops.
19:20 <Kotono> *convince
19:21 <Skaya> "Forget about statistics, then. What do you want to do? Even if you think we should deal with the mine for ethical reasons, we don't absolutely need to do it today."
19:21 <Devar> Devar will stay up there for the time being and let Skaya and Sanda chat it out!
19:27 <Kotono> Sanda bunches in on herself, "I want to go home," she whispers, "I want to go home and just forget about all of this for a little while." Her voice is weak, trembling as she goes. She sits with her knees bunched up, arms wrapped around them.
19:27 — Skaya nods and pats Sanda's shoulder before getting up to chat with the others.
19:31 <Kotono> IT's not hard to gather the rest to you, a bit away. "I see," Anne murmurs, "Do you want to delay, then?"
19:31 <Skaya> "There was a ton of coins that we can spend a couple days ferrying with teleport," Skaya proposes. "It's not glamorous but it's a decent profit."
19:32 <Devar> "There's a spell that helps in these situations, that helps to ease one's mental traumas." Devar says. "I don't have the ability to cast it, but I think Anne could, if we wanted to offer her a little bit of extra help in dealing with this. We could also scout the mine in the meantime, if you wanted to."
19:33 <Kotono> "We could split up," Rina suggests, "WE aren't all needed to gather coins, and a scout party is best small."
19:34 <Skaya> "Who wants to return with Sanda, then, and spend a bit of time getting all the copper from that underwater hideout?"
19:36 <Kotono> Anne raises her hand, "Better me than Rina, but only if you all have good sense to be careful while I'm not there."
19:36 <Devar> "I don't have a preference." Devar says. "That being said, I can stay with Sanda if you want - this sort of thing falls pretty squarely in Lady Eldath's domain to help with."
19:37 — Skaya raises an eyebrow in surprise. "Let me put it differently, then. Who wants to go and immediately explore the mine?"
19:39 <Kotono> "I do," Rina says, "Look, I'm better at that and it's not underwater."
19:39 — Skaya glances over at Liza next.
19:39 <Kotono> Liza considers, head slightly bowed. "Better to poke at the mine now, I think. Time gives a chance for things to go out of control."
19:40 <Kotono> "Me? I suspect whatever this is will not advance, so we have the luxury of time," Anne decides, "We need not choose hastily."
19:42 <Skaya> "How about this?" Skaya proposes. "Anne, stay with Sanda here for a few hours. We'll look into the mine, return by lunch, and then teleport away together. I'll leave the telepathy ring and the plane shift candle with you, so you could always escape if needed to a safe realm."
19:44 <Kotono> "That's fine with me," Anne decides, "Unless you prefer it, Devar?"
19:46 <Devar> "You stay for now." Devar says. "If it seems like she isn't getting any better, I'll take over more long-term."
19:47 <Kotono> "I'll handle it," Anne rises, "Good luck with hunting for that mine."
19:48 <Skaya> "We'll get back in time," Skaya promises, before offering her hand to Liza. "Let's get going?"
19:50 <Kotono> Liza takes it and the party ascends. What's your approach for this?
19:52 <Skaya> First, they have to actually find the entrance to the mine. Perhaps it would be inside one of the houses, if nothing is visible when they search the place?"
19:53 <Kotono> The party flies back to over the town. The rain doesn't help visibility, but nothing seems to be happening there. It's silent. No people, no animals. Only the steady drizzle and the broken remnants of the larger creatures they defeated.
19:54 <Skaya> "Let's look inside the buildings still standing first?"
19:56 <Devar> Devar nods. "Makes sense."
19:57 <Kotono> OOC: Perception and int checks.
19:58 <Skaya> OOC: Perception 10 for 30
19:58 <Devar> roll 1d20+12 if you need them from me too, perception
19:58 <Kobot> Devar rolled 1d20+12 if you need them from me too, perception --> [ 1d20=15 ]{27}
19:58 <Devar> roll 1d20+5 int
19:58 <Kobot> Devar rolled 1d20+5 int --> [ 1d20=19 ]{24}
19:58 <Skaya> roll 1d20+7 int
19:58 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+7 int --> [ 1d20=13 ]{20}
20:01 <Kotono> With Rina and Liza brought along, the party lands to do that. No reaction as you go to check b uildings. By and large, you find them empty. No signs of holes or passages belowground. If you didn't know better, you'd think this was an abandoned village. What's more, you notice there's no sign of food in the houses. There's remnants of where it would be kept, but it's all gone. Nothing at all.
20:02 <Devar> "I suppose no reason to keep up the charade inside." Devar says. "But that must mean the mine is somewhere else, maybe we just didn't see it from the air?"
20:03 <Skaya> "Let's try to find a basement or break into one?" Skaya proposes next. "There was that one place with a basement, so perhaps that's how we get to the mine."
20:03 <Devar> Devar nods. "No harm in checking."
20:07 <Kotono> "Worth trying," Rina agrees, as you search around. You soon enough find one, heavy wooden doors leading into from above. It's reinforced, nothing that'll give easily. Which prove sannoying when sure enough, it doesn't open. It seems locked somehow, and not visibly from the outside. It's on the side of a house, tucked away.
20:08 <Devar> "Knock time?" Devar offers.
20:09 <Skaya> "Yeah. Use it, I'll open it in case it has a stupid locking mechanism."
20:09 <Devar> Devar casts Knock on the wooden doors!
20:11 <Kotono> The door opens wide. Chains and wood planks fall away and clatter down the steps going in.
20:12 <Kotono> Liza peers down, "They definitely beat a defensive retreat."
20:13 <Skaya> "Devar, how about casting the luminous armor spells and others in advance? It'll either be risky from here on, or we'll waste the spells and return without seeing any more combat today."
20:14 <Devar> Devar nods, casting Luminous Armor on himself and Skaya, and a regular Mage Armor for Rina and Liza, although the latter tends to stay out of combat, just in case! OOC: +7 armor for Rina and Liza, +8 for Skaya.
20:18 <Kotono> The spells are all cast. "Thank you," Rina inclines her head, "Let's hope we won't need them for once."
20:19 — Skaya leads the way in!
20:20 <Devar> "Hopefully." Devar says. "But we'll see."
20:23 <Kotono> The cellar beneath is mostly quiet. It's stripped of food and supplies it looks like, only a few bare odds and ends about. No sign of further passage below, at least to the casual eye.
20:26 — Skaya knocks on the ground every few feet to see if there's any difference that would signify an open space below.
20:26 <Kotono> There's several points that do seem to sound hollow.
20:27 — Skaya kicks at one! While flying, to make sure she doesn't fall if in if the floor collapses!
20:28 <Kotono> The floor cracks. It doesn't give, but it definitely cracks. Rina hops back while Liza says, "They just covered the holes up?"
20:29 <Skaya> "Maybe it's been done ages ago?" Skaya muses, kicking at the other places that sound hollow.
20:34 <Kotono> They likewise crack, though none give way easily.
20:34 — Skaya is actually quite strong so she tries to break through.
20:38 <Kotono> CRACK! CRACK! CRAAAAACK! It takes several blows, but the floor gives way. A straight drop down into the darkness can be seen below.
20:38 <Kotono> Rina takes one look at that before, sword drawn, "No goo eruption?"
20:39 <Kotono> "Thankfully," Liza sniffs, though her eyes roam the basement.
20:39 <Skaya> "It'd be easier once we get down!" Skaya says, hovering and shining light into the darkness.
20:40 <Kotono> Light shines down and you see it's a deep drop. Maybe 50 to 60ft, into some sort of area that looks wet below. Glistening, moist stones.
20:41 <Skaya> "Let's fly down?" Skaya proposes to Liza.
20:42 <Kotono> "Fine with me," Liza says, Rina already studying it by the edge.
20:42 — Skaya picks Liza up and descends!
20:45 <Devar> Devar will follow suit with Rina in tow.
20:49 <Kotono> The party flies down. You land in a larger chamber, with dregs of goo all about. Not a lot, lying about in small, quivering puddles. Various circular tunnels proceed deeper in, about half a dozen of them to choose from in various directions. Not much of immediate interest is here.
20:50 — Skaya washes the puddles away, just in case they decide to merge or attack them.
20:51 <Kotono> They're splashed about without any resistance. It takes a few moments and a little effort, but it's done.
20:52 — Skaya checks whether any tunnel heads downwards.
20:58 <Kotono> They all do to varying degrees it looks like, some steeper than others. It's also not hard to hear a watery, sloshing noise coming from most of them.
20:58 — Skaya picks one of the paths with the sloshing noise at random and heads into it!
21:02 <Kotono> It heads downward at a steady clip. All of it is smooth, like polished stone-! AH! Slippery too, though flight saves Skaya from a pratfall. "Careful," Rina agrees on seeing that, kneeling and rubbing a finger along the ground. "It's smooth as polished, oiled steel."
21:03 <Kotono> "Wait." LIza suddenly says, "Am I the only one who didn't think of a burrow tunnel, but of veins instead?"
21:03 <Kotono> Rina's entire expression turns sour, "Anne would know best, but I see the analogy."
21:03 <Skaya> "You think we're already inside this creature?"
21:04 <Kotono> "It could be," Liza speculates, "Some sort of huge underground parasite."
21:05 <Devar> "I can't say I have a lot of experience with this sort of thing, so I couldn't hazard any kind of guess." Devar admits. "But... why bother with the doors? The whole situation is just strange to me."
21:06 <Skaya> "Let's just keep going for now," Skaya proposes. "Want me to carry you here, Liza?"
21:13 <Kotono> "Easy defenses," Liza reasons, "The same way you put on leather gloves even if you have skin stronger than steel."
21:14 <Kotono> "Please," Liza agrees, goign right to Skaya.
21:14 <Kotono> *going
21:14 <Kotono> OOC: Since this is fairly narrow, what's your walking order here, in case it matters?
21:14 — Skaya picks her up again and flies onwards. But slowly!
21:14 <Skaya> OOC: We'll be in front
21:20 <Kotono> The party goes ahead. The tunnel doesn't stretch far before it curves in two, one path straight up and one path straight down. Above, you can see a dead end. Below, you can see goo, about 10ft down adn blocking further progress.
21:24 <Skaya> "Let's first see what's up?" Skaya proposes, flying there for a quick look.
21:26 <Kotono> "Beats going down," Rina seconds, as you fly up. It ends in a dead end, wood and stone flooring from the looks of it.
21:27 <Devar> Devar follows along and up. "Another basement?" He wonders.
21:27 <Skaya> "So there really are multiple exits," Skaya confirms. "Let's wash away the goo, then?"
21:28 <Kotono> "Must be," Quiet agreement from Rina there, "There's a lot of it down there, too.
21:31 <Skaya> "Does anyone have a better idea?"
21:32 <Kotono> Liza sniffs, "Not myself, beyond trying other passages. It seems almost asleep."
21:32 <Skaya> "We can do that, it's not like they're very long," Skaya agrees. "Devar, this time you'll be in the lead!"
21:35 <Kotono> "By all means," Rina says, looking at him, "Maybe it's given up fighting us."
21:35 <Devar> Devar nods, heading back to try the first tunnel they found, starting with the left-most. "If it's asleep, then what was the stuff we met up top?" He asks. "I realize we aren't going to get any answers, since this creature doesn't seem keen on communication."
21:35 <Kotono> OOC: Perception in that case.
21:36 <Skaya> OOC: 10 for 30 for me
21:36 <Skaya> "It may not even be the same creature but several of the same goo race?"
21:37 <Devar> roll 1d20+12 you never know
21:37 <Kobot> Devar rolled 1d20+12 you never know --> [ 1d20=14 ]{26}
21:38 <Kotono> AH! As you start to fly back, you hear a wet gurgling rush coming back from the two tunnels you just turned your back on.
21:39 — Skaya turns back and fires water at the no-doubt rushing goo!
21:47 <Kotono> OOC: In that case, we'll go to init. Good luck!
21:47 <Kotono> roll 1d20+14 Rina
21:47 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+14 Rina --> [ 1d20=20 ]{34}
21:47 <Kotono> roll 1d20+6 Liza
21:47 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+6 Liza --> [ 1d20=14 ]{20}
21:47 <Skaya> roll 1d20+13
21:47 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+13 --> [ 1d20=17 ]{30}
21:47 <Kotono> roll 1d20+8 goo wave
21:47 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+8 goo wave --> [ 1d20=11 ]{19}
21:47 <Devar> roll 1d20+3
21:47 <Kobot> Devar rolled 1d20+3 --> [ 1d20=8 ]{11}
21:47 <Kotono> Init is Rina (34) > Skaya (30) > Liza (20) > Goo Wave (19) > Devar (11)
21:48 <Kotono> OOC: Rina'll hold pending your watery assault. Go Skaya.
21:48 <Skaya> It's a tactic she'd used a lot the other day, but it does seem effective!
21:48 <Skaya> roll 1d20+14 ranged touch
21:48 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+14 ranged touch --> [ 1d20=2 ]{16}
21:48 <Skaya> roll 8d6
21:48 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 8d6 --> [ 8d6=32 ]{32}
21:50 <Kotono> The blast of water barrels down. It slams into it hard, goo lining the walls. However, a burst of water doesn't stop a tidal surge, and it's still coming even after that. "Plan B?" Rina asks as it rises in spite of the pressure against it.
21:52 <Skaya> OOC: How far is it?
21:58 <Kotono> OOC: It's about 20ft away and surging.
21:59 <Skaya> "A fighting retreat?" Skaya suggests, flying back from the wave of goo and towards the exit. Of course, if the Feybone Arcana has a suggestion of how to protect her friends, she could try that next!
22:00 <Devar> "Back to the more open space, at least." Devar says.
22:00 <Kotono> Thus the party flies back in retreat as the ooze follows...next time!
19:07 — Skaya waits for Sanda to wake up properly, observing her for now.
19:09 <Kotono> Sanda rises and gets a quiet breakfast. She's not talkative on a glance, but doesn't seem twitchy or unusually out of sorts.
19:09 <Skaya> "How did you sleep?" Skaya asks, sitting down next to her.
19:14 <Devar> Devar for his part will scout the air to make sure nothing seems too amiss around them!
19:15 <Kotono> After a few moments to gather herself, "Nightmares," Is all she says, then with a sigh, "I won't fall apart. Statistically speaking, it's normal to have this sort of problem." She rubs her restored arm. "I go between thinking it didn't happen and trying not to scream that it did. I've been hurt before, but that was different."
19:15 <Kotono> OOC: Perception, Devar.
19:15 <Skaya> "It's a lucky hit when we manage it," Skaya voices.
19:16 <Devar> OOC: Take 10 for 22
19:17 → Iddy joined (uid408070@lunarnet-B8D5816D.irccloud.com)
19:19 <Kotono> Devar can see all is rainy, but nothing much seems to be out. The forest and rain makes it hard to tell much, admittedly. From the looks of it, there's no end to the rain in sight. It's also a bit chillier than summer rain, hints that the seasons are indeed moving on.
19:20 <Kotono> Sanda quietly shakes her head, "No matter how I try to convine myself, I-" Her voice stops.
19:20 <Kotono> *convince
19:21 <Skaya> "Forget about statistics, then. What do you want to do? Even if you think we should deal with the mine for ethical reasons, we don't absolutely need to do it today."
19:21 <Devar> Devar will stay up there for the time being and let Skaya and Sanda chat it out!
19:27 <Kotono> Sanda bunches in on herself, "I want to go home," she whispers, "I want to go home and just forget about all of this for a little while." Her voice is weak, trembling as she goes. She sits with her knees bunched up, arms wrapped around them.

21:05 <Devar> "I can't say I have a lot of experience with this sort of thing, so I couldn't hazard any kind of guess." Devar admits. "But... why bother with the doors? The whole situation is just strange to me."
21:06 <Skaya> "Let's just keep going for now," Skaya proposes. "Want me to carry you here, Liza?"
21:13 <Kotono> "Easy defenses," Liza reasons, "The same way you put on leather gloves even if you have skin stronger than steel."
21:14 <Kotono> "Please," Liza agrees, goign right to Skaya.
21:14 <Kotono> *going
21:14 <Kotono> OOC: Since this is fairly narrow, what's your walking order here, in case it matters?
21:14 — Skaya picks her up again and flies onwards. But slowly!
21:14 <Skaya> OOC: We'll be in front
21:20 <Kotono> The party goes ahead. The tunnel doesn't stretch far before it curves in two, one path straight up and one path straight down. Above, you can see a dead end. Below, you can see goo, about 10ft down adn blocking further progress.
21:24 <Skaya> "Let's first see what's up?" Skaya proposes, flying there for a quick look.
21:26 <Kotono> "Beats going down," Rina seconds, as you fly up. It ends in a dead end, wood and stone flooring from the looks of it.
21:27 <Devar> Devar follows along and up. "Another basement?" He wonders.
21:27 <Skaya> "So there really are multiple exits," Skaya confirms. "Let's wash away the goo, then?"
21:28 <Kotono> "Must be," Quiet agreement from Rina there, "There's a lot of it down there, too.
21:31 <Skaya> "Does anyone have a better idea?"
21:32 <Kotono> Liza sniffs, "Not myself, beyond trying other passages. It seems almost asleep."
21:32 <Skaya> "We can do that, it's not like they're very long," Skaya agrees. "Devar, this time you'll be in the lead!"
21:35 <Kotono> "By all means," Rina says, looking at him, "Maybe it's given up fighting us."
21:35 <Devar> Devar nods, heading back to try the first tunnel they found, starting with the left-most. "If it's asleep, then what was the stuff we met up top?" He asks. "I realize we aren't going to get any answers, since this creature doesn't seem keen on communication."
21:35 <Kotono> OOC: Perception in that case.
21:36 <Skaya> OOC: 10 for 30 for me
21:36 <Skaya> "It may not even be the same creature but several of the same goo race?"
21:37 <Devar> roll 1d20+12 you never know
21:37 <Kobot> Devar rolled 1d20+12 you never know --> [ 1d20=14 ]{26}
21:38 <Kotono> AH! As you start to fly back, you hear a wet gurgling rush coming back from the two tunnels you just turned your back on.
21:39 — Skaya turns back and fires water at the no-doubt rushing goo!
21:47 <Kotono> OOC: In that case, we'll go to init. Good luck!
21:47 <Kotono> roll 1d20+14 Rina
21:47 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+14 Rina --> [ 1d20=20 ]{34}
21:47 <Kotono> roll 1d20+6 Liza
21:47 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+6 Liza --> [ 1d20=14 ]{20}
21:47 <Skaya> roll 1d20+13
21:47 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+13 --> [ 1d20=17 ]{30}
21:47 <Kotono> roll 1d20+8 goo wave
21:47 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+8 goo wave --> [ 1d20=11 ]{19}
21:47 <Devar> roll 1d20+3
21:47 <Kobot> Devar rolled 1d20+3 --> [ 1d20=8 ]{11}
21:47 <Kotono> Init is Rina (34) > Skaya (30) > Liza (20) > Goo Wave (19) > Devar (11)
21:48 <Kotono> OOC: Rina'll hold pending your watery assault. Go Skaya.
21:48 <Skaya> It's a tactic she'd used a lot the other day, but it does seem effective!
21:48 <Skaya> roll 1d20+14 ranged touch
21:48 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+14 ranged touch --> [ 1d20=2 ]{16}
21:48 <Skaya> roll 8d6
21:48 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 8d6 --> [ 8d6=32 ]{32}
21:50 <Kotono> The blast of water barrels down. It slams into it hard, goo lining the walls. However, a burst of water doesn't stop a tidal surge, and it's still coming even after that. "Plan B?" Rina asks as it rises in spite of the pressure against it.
21:52 <Skaya> OOC: How far is it?
21:58 <Kotono> OOC: It's about 20ft away and surging.
21:59 <Skaya> "A fighting retreat?" Skaya suggests, flying back from the wave of goo and towards the exit. Of course, if the Feybone Arcana has a suggestion of how to protect her friends, she could try that next!
22:00 <Devar> "Back to the more open space, at least." Devar says.
22:00 <Kotono> Thus the party flies back in retreat as the ooze follows...next time!

Mini Game Logs / Re: The Shark Pirates 026
Last post by Corwin - October 22, 2026, 06:14:02 AM19:43 <Skaya> roll 1d20+13
19:43 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+13 --> [ 1d20=18 ]{31}
19:46 <•Kotono> Init is Skaya (31) > House (19) > Devar = Rina (15) > Liza (9)
19:46 <•Kotono> OOC: Open.
19:47 — Skaya comes down from above, heralded by a beam of pressurized water!
19:47 <Skaya> roll 1d20+14 ranged touch vs HOUSE
19:47 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+14 ranged touch vs HOUSE --> [ 1d20=14 ]{28}
19:47 <Skaya> roll 8d6
19:47 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 8d6 --> [ 8d6=31 ]{31}
19:50 <•Kotono> Water slams into the house. The house, already battered, broken, burned and beaten, buckles at that blast. The roof gives way, pushed downward. The entire house thrashes at that, before clawing out wildly, but no one is close enough. All in vain before it leaps up, then right down at Rina.
19:50 <•Kotono> roll 1d20+15 improved evasion
19:50 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+15 improved evasion --> [ 1d20=16 ]{31}
19:51 <•Kotono> The moment it leaps, Rina's gone. She's a fiery blur, sprinting to the side. There's a tremendous CRASH as the house slams down roof first, and this time it buckles even further. It falls apart a loud crash of stone, wood and more. Goo leaks out from it as it lies there, more ruin than structure now. OOC: It turns out using yourself as a weapon like that isn't great when you're already taking
19:51 <•Kotono> heavy damage. Who knew? Free act.
19:52 <•Kotono> "Devar?!" Rina looks around, "Where are you?"
19:52 <Skaya> "I seriously hope we're finally done with this," Skaya says as she touches down next to Rina. "What happened to Devar?"
19:52 <•Kotono> Liza lets out a deep exhale of relief, "Cursed thing," she growls, "The house leapt on him!"
19:53 <Skaya> 'Devar, still alive?' Skaya asks him telepathically.
19:53 <•Kotono> "Like a child leaping around at play," Rina seconds, "Roof first."
19:53 <Devar> "Sorry, I'm up here!" He shouts, coming down.
19:53 <•Kotono> Eyes turn upward, "You're alright?" Rina shouts up.
19:53 — Skaya waves at Anne to descend with Sanda.
19:53 <Devar> "I definitely wasn't!" He says. "But Anne helped and I had a moment to recover." He says, rejoining the others. "I've never been more thankful for keeping a 'just in case' teleportation spell that doesn't need anything but your voice to use."
19:54 <•Kotono> The party gathers. Sanda's passed out in Anne's arms, "Even healed, she's in shock and needs both rest and healing," Anne says, "It would be best if she gets it as soon as possible. She's not in any threat of death, but that sort of wound can cause catastrophic reactions as the body adjusts."
19:54 <Skaya> "Please use the scroll to regenerate her here. I'll keep you two safe."
19:56 <•Kotono> Anne nods briskly, "I will. This spell is not simple for me, and even with a scroll, is not free of the risk of mishap. Be alert in case something goes wrong. I do not think it will, but many have said that before calamity."
19:56 <Skaya> "Devar, Liza, Rina, please form a perimeter. I'll hover just above these two."
19:56 <Devar> "You bet." Devar says.
19:56 <•Kotono> "Got it," Rina doesn't argue, falling in as Liza does the same.
19:57 <•Kotono> roll 1d20+8 CL check don't blow this one
19:57 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+8 CL check don't blow this one --> [ 1d20=19 ]{27}
19:58 <•Kotono> The spell is cast. IT's a longer one, requiring chanting. It's all subvocal, Anne lost in it. She works as energy gathers around what's left of Sanda's arm, flesh reknitting and regrowing, bone alone with it. Veins weave around thema nd inward, an arm regrow before your eyes.
19:58 <•Kotono> *regrown
19:58 <Skaya> Once Anne is done, Skaya calls the others over and asks Anne to heal them all real quick, just in case.
20:03 <•Kotono> Anne checks Sanda over first, "She'll need some sleep, but she's whole." A little nod before she says, "Gather around. Please, Lady Jetnia..."
20:03 <•Kotono> roll 4d6
20:03 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 4d6 --> [ 4d6=19 ]{19}
20:03 <•Kotono> OOC: 28 all bu ther.
20:03 Skaya set the topic: Skaya: 100/100 (+6AC/+4 vs melee, GMW+2, Sanda's bracers of +4CON) Devar 113/113 Anne 83/83 Sanda 60/60 Rina 85/85
20:04 <•Kotono> Healing comes from that, washing away your wounds. Nothing else seems to be happening here. Whatever's the root of this seems stunned, or perhaps isn't fighting back right now.
20:04 <Skaya> "Thanks! I think we're finally at a good point," Skaya says gratefully, allowing herself to relax at long last.
20:04 <•Kotono> Anne floats up and exhales, "Someone else carry Sanda for a bit," she requests, stretching her arms out.
20:04 <Devar> Devar lets out a relieved sigh. "Still, I wonder what was going on here. Was this some sort of horrible experiment some archmage just left?" Devar asks. "We probably won't ever know the answer. If we do need to transport her, I saw a few other villages a bit of a ways away."
20:04 <•Kotono> "It does have that randomness to it," Rina considers, "Or some sort of extraplanar creature is the root of it."
20:05 <•Kotono> "I favor an archmage experiment gone wrong," Liza speculates, "It seems to come from one root, at the least."
20:05 — Skaya accepts Sanda from Anne.
20:06 <Devar> "Still, we likely saved the lives of anyone else who's unknowingly come here." Devar says.
20:06 <Skaya> "I wonder," she says then. "Can someone stay back here, way up, and see if the goo makes a comeback? Perhaps Anne and Rina? The rest of us can go check out the other villages to see if they've been overrun. We can stay in touch via telepathy."
20:08 <Devar> Devar nods. "We probably should, just to be safe."
20:10 <•Kotono> "We should," Anne agrees, "Though in all truth, it may be safer alone. Less temptation to go down to bait than if with another, and less chance of something happening to cause a fall. I can fly, Rina still can't."
20:10 <•Kotono> Rina scowls at that, "Being alone's dangerous, even if you're high up."
20:11 <•Kotono> "It's a watch, not a battle. I have no intention of going down no matter how it may bait me, and my response is to fly away. If it can reach that high, prevent me from fleeing and trap me, then I was doomed the moment I agreed to this." Anne counters with a small shake of her head.
20:12 <Skaya> "We should actually manage ways to fly for everyone, and maybe some feather fall backups," Skaya muses, "but overall I'm really with Rina on this. What if someone tries to get at your mind? Rina could snap you out of it."
20:12 <•Kotono> "We should," Liza agrees, "In truth, you're tired of hauling people around in the sky, aren't you?"
20:12 <Skaya> "It's the armor. It must be very heavy."
20:12 <•Kotono> "I can only carry so much," Anne agrees, "That is a concern, though my reasons stand." A hint of stiffness in her words.
20:14 <Skaya> "If you are okay with the risk, then fine. I'll carry two people with me." Skaya takes off the telepathy ring and gives it to Anne. "Stay in contact with Devar, alright?"
20:14 <Devar> "It's always safer to go with someone else, unless you're trying to sneak and by stealthy." Devar says. "I can carry someone if you need me to."
20:15 <•Kotono> "I will," Anne takes the ring, "I'll be over a thousand feet up. If they can reach that fast and outrun me, I'll tell you immediately," she promises, slipping it on and taking off.
20:16 — Skaya nods, before shifting Sanda with her left arm to position her head comfortably on her shoulder, and offer the right to Liza. "It'll be a bit slower than usual, but still decently fast?"
20:21 <•Kotono> LIza takes it, "Good luck," Liza says, as...OOC: Okay, so what's the battleplan here?
20:21 <Skaya> OOC: There were a couple villages we saw from high up. We'll fly towards the nearest one. Once there, Devar and Rina will descend and see what's up.
20:25 <•Kotono> OOC: Okay, sure thing. One of you give me a d100.
20:26 <Skaya> roll 1d100
20:26 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d100 --> [ 1d100=96 ]{96}
20:30 <•Kotono> You fly to the next village. The weather begins to turn, hints of stormier weather. Still, you make it and see from above, it looks like a quiet, simple village. Nothing too interesting there, at least from a bird's eye view.
20:30 <•Kotono> OOC: Gah.
20:30 <Skaya> "Devar, Rina, go and take a look to see if it's humans or goo cannibals?"
20:31 <Devar> Devar will head down, looking for any actual people who hopefully are actual people!
20:31 <•Kotono> You fly to the next village. The weather begins to turn, hints of stormier weather. Still, you make it and see from above, it looks like a quiet, simple village. Nothing too interesting there, at least from a bird's eye view. On descending, you see that there's farmers and workers, nothing fancy in the slightest to the eye. A few greet you with raised hands, "Ho there, heroes," One young man
20:31 <•Kotono> calls, "Are you traveling?" He looks normal - dirty, brown haired and a little hungry.
20:32 — Skaya will hover high enough up that she won't get in the way. Or get jumped by cannibals.
20:33 <Devar> "So... I'll just be blunt." Devar says, gesturing towards the direction they just came in. "We were attacked by all the creatures pretending to be houses and other things over there. They didn't seem terribly interested in talking, despite our best efforts. Is everyone here, uh... normal?"
20:33 <Devar> For his sake, Devar will also utilize his ability to detect evildoers!
20:39 <•Kotono> "Normal." The man's expression tightens, "We don't go to Sun Meadow, it's a cursed place." There's no evil here, at least from the young man.
20:42 <Devar> "Well, all of it is gone, for whatever that's worth." Devar says. "We tried to understand them, but all they did was attack us." He says. "Well... maybe not all of it, we're still investigating, but once we rid the world of it, we will let you all know here."
20:43 <•Kotono> "I only hope you're right. Others have tried before," Is the answer, "Most don't come back. It's so remote that no one comes out to solve it, usually."
20:44 <Skaya> "Devar's not getting eaten," Skaya says quietly to Liza. "Think it's safe, or they only can't control themselves if it's me?"
20:44 <Devar> "We kind of ended up here by chance." Devar says. He turns around and will give a thumbs up to Skaya in the air.
20:44 — Skaya slowly descends.
20:46 <•Kotono> Liza nods slightly back, "I think it is."
20:47 <•Kotono> "You're blessed and lucky both," The man scratches at his arm. "It's said ti was good land there, too, and a better mine."
20:47 <Devar> "A mine, huh?" Devar asks. "We didn't explore too much, but maybe that's worth taking a look at?" He looks over at Skaya. "They might be hiding down there."
20:48 <Skaya> "Where's the mine entrance supposed to be? And what was mined there?" Skaya asks, seamlessly joining the conversation.
20:49 <•Kotono> "Ah!" A little noise of surprise, "I don't rightly know. It was my grandpa's time it was lost. But story says that the area around it changed, too. Houses where there weren't houses before."
20:49 <Devar> "So it's been a while that they've been here?" Devar asks.
20:50 <•Kotono> "Right," The man agrees, "And my grandpa's seen seventy summers."
20:51 <Devar> "But nothing ever, as far as you're aware, came here or anything, right?" Devar says. "It was just a place you all shouldn't ever go to?"
20:52 <•Kotono> "That means it's stable at least, and it's not expansing," Rina remarks, "That' ssome good news."
20:53 <•Kotono> "It's never come here," He agrees, "Not as far as anyone's said, but a lot of people think it would? But it never happens. But sometimes wolves..."
20:53 <Skaya> "Wolves?"
20:56 <•Kotono> A headshake, "Sometimes people blame attacks on Sun Meadow, but I think it's mostly wolves. That's what my grandpa said, it's the wolves."
20:57 — Skaya nods her understanding. "And you keep in touch with all the villages nearby, right?" It would be a pain to visit them all in person.
20:57 <•Kotono> "A pack of nasty wolves or dire wolves could do that," Liza speculates, "Normal wolves aren't that aggressive, but they can easily turn into monsters with magic or influence. Just like dogs."
20:57 <•Kotono> "Yes, ma'am." A nod, "We all do."
20:58 <Skaya> "Come to think of it, just what nation are we in?" Skaya asks. "Sorry, there was a teleportation mishap, so...."
21:04 <•Kotono> "Eis," Is the answer, "Far, far, northeastern reach of it, if ya have a map."
21:04 <•Kotono> Rina smiles, "Good to know, thanks. It's easy to lose track up there. Nothing but the clouds and wind."
21:05 <Skaya> Ah, of course. "Oh good, I think I know the spot," Skaya voices. "Thanks!"
21:06 <Devar> Devar nods. "Thank you for the hospitality." He adds. "We'll hopefully have the situation at Sun Meadow dealt with soon." He smiels.
21:06 <Devar> OOC: Smiles, too
21:06 <•Kotono> "Be careful," The man says, "Hate to see you not come back, you seem like good folks."
21:07 — Skaya smiles as well, before gently rising into the air.
21:08 <•Kotono> With that the party rises up. Once you're a bit up, "So now what?" Liza asks, "This is your world."
21:08 <•Kotono> 'All's quiet,' Anne sends back in the meantime. 'I've not seen a soul or a speck, or even a stray animal. This high up it's easy to miss things, but it seems still.'
21:09 <Skaya> "Let's at least look for the entrance to that mine?" Skaya proposes. "Maybe it'll have something that makes this trip worthwhile in a monetary sense, and not just as charity."
21:10 <Devar> 'We're on our way back, found a friendly village that were at least aware that the place we were at was no good.' Devar sends to Anne.
21:10 <Devar> "Anne says everything has stayed quiet." Devar reports.
21:12 <•Kotono> 'We'll talk when you return, then.' Anne agrees, as you fly back. The trip back is peaceable enough. It's getting cloudier. Storms are in the offing soon, but not yet. On listening, "Well then," Anne decides, "It seems hostile but strangely stable. Curious."
21:13 <•Kotono> "What I'd like to know if it can't spread further, or chooses not to," Rina adds her two copper coins into it, "For all the hostility, if it's been quiet that long?"
21:14 <Skaya> "One option is that they are expanding, just below the ground. Another is that they're building up their forces. And the third I can think of, they're crazy but don't want to expand?"
21:14 — Skaya shrugs. "For all we know, they can't go too far from their source of power."
21:15 <•Kotono> "All are plausible," Anne agrees with Skaya, "Or that there's some other consideration beyond our reckoning. Between Sanda and the weather, if nothing is quickly apparent, I suggest a retreat and rest. Sanda's still not fighting fit, and I mislike us challenging such a problem short a good staff arm."
21:15 <Skaya> "How far do you want to retreat?"
21:16 <•Kotono> "Are we able to teleport home? If that? Home. Otherwise, at least a village away," Anne says, "Somewhere quiet we can rest, or maybe the wilderness since if we're recognized, it's a political concern."
21:17 <Skaya> "Yes, it's Eis, after all. Better to minimize contact to avoid causing trouble to the locals."
21:17 <•Kotono> Rina grimaces, "Yeah, politics. We're not on good terms with Eis. We're probably safe in the sticks here, but if word spreads? You know, I was strongly advised to step carefully in situations like this, since nobles reflect the crown."
21:19 <Skaya> "So long as we contain it to that brief visit, by the time any contact is made the story would've distorted a lot," Skaya voices. "But it'd be different if we actually stay overnight. Anyway, let's just get some distance from here and set up a night watch. We'll decide together once Sanda wakes up on our next move."
21:20 <•Kotono> OOC: Okay, where are you looking to set up a camp then?
21:21 <Skaya> OOC: Let's do an hour's flight. My speed is 120ft.
21:22 <•Kotono> OOC: Looking for any sort of direction or terrain?
21:23 <Skaya> OOC: Let's go in the opposite direction from the villages we saw (and visited one)
21:25 <•Kotono> The party ultimately flies further east. It's hillier and with lots of tree cover. You also avoid the storms, which seem more westernly and coming from the south. You end up beneath the trees, in a quiet little clearing with logs for seats and tents set up. It's in the afternoon when Sanda stirs, awakening with a gasping, confused noise. "Ah!" She sits straight up at once, breathing all too
21:25 <•Kotono> fast.
21:26 <Skaya> "Welcome back, Sanda!"
21:26 <•Kotono> One hand goes to her arm, and Sanda shudders all over. She closes her eyes tight before, "What happened?"
21:27 <•Kotono> Looking up from her thoughts, "Too many mouths," Rina declares. "You're alright now."
21:27 <Skaya> "We beat all the cannibal goo that stepped out, then found out we're in the boonies of Eis and the village isolates itself usually. Also yes, Anne lovingly healed you."
21:28 <Devar> "You owe us a regenerate scroll." Devar says, then waits for a moment and waves his hands. "I'm kidding, I'm kidding."
21:29 <Skaya> "All kidding aside, we can only lose one more limb before we're out of those scrolls. Don't take too many risks, girls. And Devar."
21:30 <Devar> "Don't worry, I remember the debt I still owe everyone anyway, so hopefully that horrible goo hasn't taken over the mine and turned all of the ore there into icky goop ore." He says.
21:31 <Skaya> "I'm actually hoping something altered a normally harmless slime there and it's highly advanced magic we can use!"
21:31 <Devar> "You don't think it's related to that weird stuff we found all over when we were chasing Brachidos, do you?"
21:32 <Skaya> "Nah. That was still going on recently, but this place has been around for what, seventy years?"
21:33 <Devar> "Oh, that's a good point." Devar nods. "Still, if it's a mine that's been untouched for that long, our dwarven patron might decide to step in again."
21:34 <•Kotono> All of it leaves Sanda silent, perhaps overwhelmed. Eventually she shakes her head, "A moment, please."
21:34 <Skaya> "A better point is, are we good to explore it properly and kill all the goo remnants?"
21:34 <•Kotono> "Finish it or solve it, one way or another," Rina says, "Then leave no trace we were here."
21:35 <•Kotono> Afterwards Sanda breathes slow, "I'm okay. I'll be okay. Just...not today." She lies back down, "Give me a little time, please."
21:36 <Skaya> So distracting Sanda failed. That's fine, Skaya will just give her time. "What spells do we want to use tomorrow, then?" she asks Anne and Devar.
21:38 <•Kotono> "We'll need healing and offense both," Anne reasons, "If underground, anything to help with local conditions. Light shouldn't be a problem, at least."
21:38 <Skaya> "Neither would air, given the bottle."
21:39 <•Kotono> "It wouldn't, if we need it," Rina agrees, "Defense. Mobility's bad underground a lot of the time, so we won't be able to use our mobility as well."
21:39 <Devar> Devar nods. "I'll have my usual contingent of protective spells." Devar says. "And I'll keep something to get us out in an emergency. Ah, yes, to Rina's point, it does depend on how big the mine is."
21:40 <Skaya> "I wish we'd found an actual weak point of those creatures," Skaya says wistfully.
21:42 <•Kotono> "Dimension door proved its weight in gold," Anne confirms, "I don't think there is one, unfortunately."
21:42 <•Kotono> "Statistically speaking," Anne says quietly, "Spells don't have weight to be gold."
21:42 <Devar> "It could be acid, maybe?" Devar offers. "I think we covered all the other ones by fighting them."
21:43 <Skaya> "Maybe sound?"
21:43 <•Kotono> "I tried acid on the house," Liza speaks up from her own thoughts, gaze mostly on Sanda, "It didn't react unusually to it."
21:43 <•Kotono> "You," Rina turns, "How many scrolls and magic items do you have to expend?"
21:44 <•Kotono> "Not all that many left right now," A scowl, "And my petal missed, too. I can't believe it!"
21:44 <Devar> "Oh, true, we didn't try anything sonic." Devar says. "That's not really my forte anyway, though."
21:45 <Skaya> "That's another reason I just don't want to turn away without getting something material," Skaya muses.
21:45 <•Kotono> "I can manage a slight bit of it," Anne comments, "But it's rarely worth the trouble. It's not where my magic lies."
21:45 <•Kotono> "That too," Liza smiles warmly at Skaya, "This trip and underwater has been expensive."
21:46 <•Kotono> "We need to get back on board after this," Sanda looks up, "The shopping alone makes it worth it, and we can liquidate our gains there."
21:46 <Skaya> "At least we found coins underwater! And with Devar's purchase we'll be in the black there even before we hit the shark bandits."
21:48 <•Kotono> In the distance, thunder booms. "I'll check in case those storms are turning our way," Anne announces, getting up.
21:48 <•Kotono> "I doubt it," Rina sits back, "Storms don't usually change direction like that, but you can hear thunder from far away. A good way to curdle milk, as they say."
21:49 <•Kotono> "We're getting money back," Liza agrees, "A good chunk of silver or gold ore would sell well. Ah, we'll make more than we've spent back and then some!"
21:50 <•Kotono> OOC: Assuming nothing happens, and big if, anything to add here or good to move along to prep/seeing if anything happens before then?
21:51 <Skaya> OOC: We'll do proper shifts at night and rest and recover!
21:51 <•Kotono> roll 1d100
21:51 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d100 --> [ 1d100=52 ]{52}
21:51 <•Kotono> OOC: Give me a d100, each of you. Devar gets a +3 modifier.
21:52 <Skaya> roll 1d100
21:52 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d100 --> [ 1d100=72 ]{72}
21:52 <Devar> roll 1d100+3
21:52 <Kobot> Devar rolled 1d100+3 --> [ 1d100=80 ]{83}
21:54 <•Kotono> OOC: Okay, no interruptions and a quiet night. Go ahead and make any prepared spell adjustments. I'll go over Anne and SAnda's before Thursday and tweak as needed. Anything else I need to cover?
21:54 <•Kotono> roll 1d100 Liza almost forgot to roll for those two
21:54 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d100 Liza almost forgot to roll for those two --> [ 1d100=41 ]{41}
21:55 <•Kotono> roll 1d100 Sanda and no Devar, this wasn't the same roll for you
21:55 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d100 Sanda and no Devar, this wasn't the same roll for you --> [ 1d100=2 ]{2}
21:56 <Devar> OOC: Just noting Rina will get a +7 Mage Armor
21:56 <•Kotono> OOC: Remind me start of next session. Skaya?
21:56 <Skaya> OOC: I think we're good
21:58 <•Kotono> OOC: Okay, then more next time. I flop over to see the back o my eyelids.
19:43 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+13 --> [ 1d20=18 ]{31}
19:46 <•Kotono> Init is Skaya (31) > House (19) > Devar = Rina (15) > Liza (9)
19:46 <•Kotono> OOC: Open.
19:47 — Skaya comes down from above, heralded by a beam of pressurized water!
19:47 <Skaya> roll 1d20+14 ranged touch vs HOUSE
19:47 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+14 ranged touch vs HOUSE --> [ 1d20=14 ]{28}
19:47 <Skaya> roll 8d6
19:47 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 8d6 --> [ 8d6=31 ]{31}
19:50 <•Kotono> Water slams into the house. The house, already battered, broken, burned and beaten, buckles at that blast. The roof gives way, pushed downward. The entire house thrashes at that, before clawing out wildly, but no one is close enough. All in vain before it leaps up, then right down at Rina.
19:50 <•Kotono> roll 1d20+15 improved evasion
19:50 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+15 improved evasion --> [ 1d20=16 ]{31}
19:51 <•Kotono> The moment it leaps, Rina's gone. She's a fiery blur, sprinting to the side. There's a tremendous CRASH as the house slams down roof first, and this time it buckles even further. It falls apart a loud crash of stone, wood and more. Goo leaks out from it as it lies there, more ruin than structure now. OOC: It turns out using yourself as a weapon like that isn't great when you're already taking
19:51 <•Kotono> heavy damage. Who knew? Free act.
19:52 <•Kotono> "Devar?!" Rina looks around, "Where are you?"
19:52 <Skaya> "I seriously hope we're finally done with this," Skaya says as she touches down next to Rina. "What happened to Devar?"
19:52 <•Kotono> Liza lets out a deep exhale of relief, "Cursed thing," she growls, "The house leapt on him!"
19:53 <Skaya> 'Devar, still alive?' Skaya asks him telepathically.
19:53 <•Kotono> "Like a child leaping around at play," Rina seconds, "Roof first."
19:53 <Devar> "Sorry, I'm up here!" He shouts, coming down.
19:53 <•Kotono> Eyes turn upward, "You're alright?" Rina shouts up.
19:53 — Skaya waves at Anne to descend with Sanda.
19:53 <Devar> "I definitely wasn't!" He says. "But Anne helped and I had a moment to recover." He says, rejoining the others. "I've never been more thankful for keeping a 'just in case' teleportation spell that doesn't need anything but your voice to use."
19:54 <•Kotono> The party gathers. Sanda's passed out in Anne's arms, "Even healed, she's in shock and needs both rest and healing," Anne says, "It would be best if she gets it as soon as possible. She's not in any threat of death, but that sort of wound can cause catastrophic reactions as the body adjusts."
19:54 <Skaya> "Please use the scroll to regenerate her here. I'll keep you two safe."
19:56 <•Kotono> Anne nods briskly, "I will. This spell is not simple for me, and even with a scroll, is not free of the risk of mishap. Be alert in case something goes wrong. I do not think it will, but many have said that before calamity."
19:56 <Skaya> "Devar, Liza, Rina, please form a perimeter. I'll hover just above these two."
19:56 <Devar> "You bet." Devar says.
19:56 <•Kotono> "Got it," Rina doesn't argue, falling in as Liza does the same.
19:57 <•Kotono> roll 1d20+8 CL check don't blow this one
19:57 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+8 CL check don't blow this one --> [ 1d20=19 ]{27}
19:58 <•Kotono> The spell is cast. IT's a longer one, requiring chanting. It's all subvocal, Anne lost in it. She works as energy gathers around what's left of Sanda's arm, flesh reknitting and regrowing, bone alone with it. Veins weave around thema nd inward, an arm regrow before your eyes.
19:58 <•Kotono> *regrown
19:58 <Skaya> Once Anne is done, Skaya calls the others over and asks Anne to heal them all real quick, just in case.
20:03 <•Kotono> Anne checks Sanda over first, "She'll need some sleep, but she's whole." A little nod before she says, "Gather around. Please, Lady Jetnia..."
20:03 <•Kotono> roll 4d6
20:03 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 4d6 --> [ 4d6=19 ]{19}
20:03 <•Kotono> OOC: 28 all bu ther.
20:03 Skaya set the topic: Skaya: 100/100 (+6AC/+4 vs melee, GMW+2, Sanda's bracers of +4CON) Devar 113/113 Anne 83/83 Sanda 60/60 Rina 85/85
20:04 <•Kotono> Healing comes from that, washing away your wounds. Nothing else seems to be happening here. Whatever's the root of this seems stunned, or perhaps isn't fighting back right now.
20:04 <Skaya> "Thanks! I think we're finally at a good point," Skaya says gratefully, allowing herself to relax at long last.
20:04 <•Kotono> Anne floats up and exhales, "Someone else carry Sanda for a bit," she requests, stretching her arms out.
20:04 <Devar> Devar lets out a relieved sigh. "Still, I wonder what was going on here. Was this some sort of horrible experiment some archmage just left?" Devar asks. "We probably won't ever know the answer. If we do need to transport her, I saw a few other villages a bit of a ways away."
20:04 <•Kotono> "It does have that randomness to it," Rina considers, "Or some sort of extraplanar creature is the root of it."
20:05 <•Kotono> "I favor an archmage experiment gone wrong," Liza speculates, "It seems to come from one root, at the least."
20:05 — Skaya accepts Sanda from Anne.
20:06 <Devar> "Still, we likely saved the lives of anyone else who's unknowingly come here." Devar says.
20:06 <Skaya> "I wonder," she says then. "Can someone stay back here, way up, and see if the goo makes a comeback? Perhaps Anne and Rina? The rest of us can go check out the other villages to see if they've been overrun. We can stay in touch via telepathy."
20:08 <Devar> Devar nods. "We probably should, just to be safe."
20:10 <•Kotono> "We should," Anne agrees, "Though in all truth, it may be safer alone. Less temptation to go down to bait than if with another, and less chance of something happening to cause a fall. I can fly, Rina still can't."
20:10 <•Kotono> Rina scowls at that, "Being alone's dangerous, even if you're high up."
20:11 <•Kotono> "It's a watch, not a battle. I have no intention of going down no matter how it may bait me, and my response is to fly away. If it can reach that high, prevent me from fleeing and trap me, then I was doomed the moment I agreed to this." Anne counters with a small shake of her head.
20:12 <Skaya> "We should actually manage ways to fly for everyone, and maybe some feather fall backups," Skaya muses, "but overall I'm really with Rina on this. What if someone tries to get at your mind? Rina could snap you out of it."
20:12 <•Kotono> "We should," Liza agrees, "In truth, you're tired of hauling people around in the sky, aren't you?"
20:12 <Skaya> "It's the armor. It must be very heavy."
20:12 <•Kotono> "I can only carry so much," Anne agrees, "That is a concern, though my reasons stand." A hint of stiffness in her words.
20:14 <Skaya> "If you are okay with the risk, then fine. I'll carry two people with me." Skaya takes off the telepathy ring and gives it to Anne. "Stay in contact with Devar, alright?"
20:14 <Devar> "It's always safer to go with someone else, unless you're trying to sneak and by stealthy." Devar says. "I can carry someone if you need me to."
20:15 <•Kotono> "I will," Anne takes the ring, "I'll be over a thousand feet up. If they can reach that fast and outrun me, I'll tell you immediately," she promises, slipping it on and taking off.
20:16 — Skaya nods, before shifting Sanda with her left arm to position her head comfortably on her shoulder, and offer the right to Liza. "It'll be a bit slower than usual, but still decently fast?"
20:21 <•Kotono> LIza takes it, "Good luck," Liza says, as...OOC: Okay, so what's the battleplan here?
20:21 <Skaya> OOC: There were a couple villages we saw from high up. We'll fly towards the nearest one. Once there, Devar and Rina will descend and see what's up.
20:25 <•Kotono> OOC: Okay, sure thing. One of you give me a d100.
20:26 <Skaya> roll 1d100
20:26 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d100 --> [ 1d100=96 ]{96}
20:30 <•Kotono> You fly to the next village. The weather begins to turn, hints of stormier weather. Still, you make it and see from above, it looks like a quiet, simple village. Nothing too interesting there, at least from a bird's eye view.
20:30 <•Kotono> OOC: Gah.
20:30 <Skaya> "Devar, Rina, go and take a look to see if it's humans or goo cannibals?"
20:31 <Devar> Devar will head down, looking for any actual people who hopefully are actual people!
20:31 <•Kotono> You fly to the next village. The weather begins to turn, hints of stormier weather. Still, you make it and see from above, it looks like a quiet, simple village. Nothing too interesting there, at least from a bird's eye view. On descending, you see that there's farmers and workers, nothing fancy in the slightest to the eye. A few greet you with raised hands, "Ho there, heroes," One young man
20:31 <•Kotono> calls, "Are you traveling?" He looks normal - dirty, brown haired and a little hungry.
20:32 — Skaya will hover high enough up that she won't get in the way. Or get jumped by cannibals.
20:33 <Devar> "So... I'll just be blunt." Devar says, gesturing towards the direction they just came in. "We were attacked by all the creatures pretending to be houses and other things over there. They didn't seem terribly interested in talking, despite our best efforts. Is everyone here, uh... normal?"
20:33 <Devar> For his sake, Devar will also utilize his ability to detect evildoers!
20:39 <•Kotono> "Normal." The man's expression tightens, "We don't go to Sun Meadow, it's a cursed place." There's no evil here, at least from the young man.
20:42 <Devar> "Well, all of it is gone, for whatever that's worth." Devar says. "We tried to understand them, but all they did was attack us." He says. "Well... maybe not all of it, we're still investigating, but once we rid the world of it, we will let you all know here."
20:43 <•Kotono> "I only hope you're right. Others have tried before," Is the answer, "Most don't come back. It's so remote that no one comes out to solve it, usually."
20:44 <Skaya> "Devar's not getting eaten," Skaya says quietly to Liza. "Think it's safe, or they only can't control themselves if it's me?"
20:44 <Devar> "We kind of ended up here by chance." Devar says. He turns around and will give a thumbs up to Skaya in the air.
20:44 — Skaya slowly descends.
20:46 <•Kotono> Liza nods slightly back, "I think it is."
20:47 <•Kotono> "You're blessed and lucky both," The man scratches at his arm. "It's said ti was good land there, too, and a better mine."
20:47 <Devar> "A mine, huh?" Devar asks. "We didn't explore too much, but maybe that's worth taking a look at?" He looks over at Skaya. "They might be hiding down there."
20:48 <Skaya> "Where's the mine entrance supposed to be? And what was mined there?" Skaya asks, seamlessly joining the conversation.
20:49 <•Kotono> "Ah!" A little noise of surprise, "I don't rightly know. It was my grandpa's time it was lost. But story says that the area around it changed, too. Houses where there weren't houses before."
20:49 <Devar> "So it's been a while that they've been here?" Devar asks.
20:50 <•Kotono> "Right," The man agrees, "And my grandpa's seen seventy summers."
20:51 <Devar> "But nothing ever, as far as you're aware, came here or anything, right?" Devar says. "It was just a place you all shouldn't ever go to?"
20:52 <•Kotono> "That means it's stable at least, and it's not expansing," Rina remarks, "That' ssome good news."
20:53 <•Kotono> "It's never come here," He agrees, "Not as far as anyone's said, but a lot of people think it would? But it never happens. But sometimes wolves..."
20:53 <Skaya> "Wolves?"
20:56 <•Kotono> A headshake, "Sometimes people blame attacks on Sun Meadow, but I think it's mostly wolves. That's what my grandpa said, it's the wolves."
20:57 — Skaya nods her understanding. "And you keep in touch with all the villages nearby, right?" It would be a pain to visit them all in person.
20:57 <•Kotono> "A pack of nasty wolves or dire wolves could do that," Liza speculates, "Normal wolves aren't that aggressive, but they can easily turn into monsters with magic or influence. Just like dogs."
20:57 <•Kotono> "Yes, ma'am." A nod, "We all do."
20:58 <Skaya> "Come to think of it, just what nation are we in?" Skaya asks. "Sorry, there was a teleportation mishap, so...."
21:04 <•Kotono> "Eis," Is the answer, "Far, far, northeastern reach of it, if ya have a map."
21:04 <•Kotono> Rina smiles, "Good to know, thanks. It's easy to lose track up there. Nothing but the clouds and wind."
21:05 <Skaya> Ah, of course. "Oh good, I think I know the spot," Skaya voices. "Thanks!"
21:06 <Devar> Devar nods. "Thank you for the hospitality." He adds. "We'll hopefully have the situation at Sun Meadow dealt with soon." He smiels.
21:06 <Devar> OOC: Smiles, too
21:06 <•Kotono> "Be careful," The man says, "Hate to see you not come back, you seem like good folks."
21:07 — Skaya smiles as well, before gently rising into the air.
21:08 <•Kotono> With that the party rises up. Once you're a bit up, "So now what?" Liza asks, "This is your world."
21:08 <•Kotono> 'All's quiet,' Anne sends back in the meantime. 'I've not seen a soul or a speck, or even a stray animal. This high up it's easy to miss things, but it seems still.'
21:09 <Skaya> "Let's at least look for the entrance to that mine?" Skaya proposes. "Maybe it'll have something that makes this trip worthwhile in a monetary sense, and not just as charity."
21:10 <Devar> 'We're on our way back, found a friendly village that were at least aware that the place we were at was no good.' Devar sends to Anne.
21:10 <Devar> "Anne says everything has stayed quiet." Devar reports.
21:12 <•Kotono> 'We'll talk when you return, then.' Anne agrees, as you fly back. The trip back is peaceable enough. It's getting cloudier. Storms are in the offing soon, but not yet. On listening, "Well then," Anne decides, "It seems hostile but strangely stable. Curious."
21:13 <•Kotono> "What I'd like to know if it can't spread further, or chooses not to," Rina adds her two copper coins into it, "For all the hostility, if it's been quiet that long?"
21:14 <Skaya> "One option is that they are expanding, just below the ground. Another is that they're building up their forces. And the third I can think of, they're crazy but don't want to expand?"
21:14 — Skaya shrugs. "For all we know, they can't go too far from their source of power."
21:15 <•Kotono> "All are plausible," Anne agrees with Skaya, "Or that there's some other consideration beyond our reckoning. Between Sanda and the weather, if nothing is quickly apparent, I suggest a retreat and rest. Sanda's still not fighting fit, and I mislike us challenging such a problem short a good staff arm."
21:15 <Skaya> "How far do you want to retreat?"
21:16 <•Kotono> "Are we able to teleport home? If that? Home. Otherwise, at least a village away," Anne says, "Somewhere quiet we can rest, or maybe the wilderness since if we're recognized, it's a political concern."
21:17 <Skaya> "Yes, it's Eis, after all. Better to minimize contact to avoid causing trouble to the locals."
21:17 <•Kotono> Rina grimaces, "Yeah, politics. We're not on good terms with Eis. We're probably safe in the sticks here, but if word spreads? You know, I was strongly advised to step carefully in situations like this, since nobles reflect the crown."
21:19 <Skaya> "So long as we contain it to that brief visit, by the time any contact is made the story would've distorted a lot," Skaya voices. "But it'd be different if we actually stay overnight. Anyway, let's just get some distance from here and set up a night watch. We'll decide together once Sanda wakes up on our next move."
21:20 <•Kotono> OOC: Okay, where are you looking to set up a camp then?
21:21 <Skaya> OOC: Let's do an hour's flight. My speed is 120ft.
21:22 <•Kotono> OOC: Looking for any sort of direction or terrain?
21:23 <Skaya> OOC: Let's go in the opposite direction from the villages we saw (and visited one)
21:25 <•Kotono> The party ultimately flies further east. It's hillier and with lots of tree cover. You also avoid the storms, which seem more westernly and coming from the south. You end up beneath the trees, in a quiet little clearing with logs for seats and tents set up. It's in the afternoon when Sanda stirs, awakening with a gasping, confused noise. "Ah!" She sits straight up at once, breathing all too
21:25 <•Kotono> fast.
21:26 <Skaya> "Welcome back, Sanda!"
21:26 <•Kotono> One hand goes to her arm, and Sanda shudders all over. She closes her eyes tight before, "What happened?"
21:27 <•Kotono> Looking up from her thoughts, "Too many mouths," Rina declares. "You're alright now."
21:27 <Skaya> "We beat all the cannibal goo that stepped out, then found out we're in the boonies of Eis and the village isolates itself usually. Also yes, Anne lovingly healed you."
21:28 <Devar> "You owe us a regenerate scroll." Devar says, then waits for a moment and waves his hands. "I'm kidding, I'm kidding."
21:29 <Skaya> "All kidding aside, we can only lose one more limb before we're out of those scrolls. Don't take too many risks, girls. And Devar."
21:30 <Devar> "Don't worry, I remember the debt I still owe everyone anyway, so hopefully that horrible goo hasn't taken over the mine and turned all of the ore there into icky goop ore." He says.
21:31 <Skaya> "I'm actually hoping something altered a normally harmless slime there and it's highly advanced magic we can use!"
21:31 <Devar> "You don't think it's related to that weird stuff we found all over when we were chasing Brachidos, do you?"
21:32 <Skaya> "Nah. That was still going on recently, but this place has been around for what, seventy years?"
21:33 <Devar> "Oh, that's a good point." Devar nods. "Still, if it's a mine that's been untouched for that long, our dwarven patron might decide to step in again."
21:34 <•Kotono> All of it leaves Sanda silent, perhaps overwhelmed. Eventually she shakes her head, "A moment, please."
21:34 <Skaya> "A better point is, are we good to explore it properly and kill all the goo remnants?"
21:34 <•Kotono> "Finish it or solve it, one way or another," Rina says, "Then leave no trace we were here."
21:35 <•Kotono> Afterwards Sanda breathes slow, "I'm okay. I'll be okay. Just...not today." She lies back down, "Give me a little time, please."
21:36 <Skaya> So distracting Sanda failed. That's fine, Skaya will just give her time. "What spells do we want to use tomorrow, then?" she asks Anne and Devar.
21:38 <•Kotono> "We'll need healing and offense both," Anne reasons, "If underground, anything to help with local conditions. Light shouldn't be a problem, at least."
21:38 <Skaya> "Neither would air, given the bottle."
21:39 <•Kotono> "It wouldn't, if we need it," Rina agrees, "Defense. Mobility's bad underground a lot of the time, so we won't be able to use our mobility as well."
21:39 <Devar> Devar nods. "I'll have my usual contingent of protective spells." Devar says. "And I'll keep something to get us out in an emergency. Ah, yes, to Rina's point, it does depend on how big the mine is."
21:40 <Skaya> "I wish we'd found an actual weak point of those creatures," Skaya says wistfully.
21:42 <•Kotono> "Dimension door proved its weight in gold," Anne confirms, "I don't think there is one, unfortunately."
21:42 <•Kotono> "Statistically speaking," Anne says quietly, "Spells don't have weight to be gold."
21:42 <Devar> "It could be acid, maybe?" Devar offers. "I think we covered all the other ones by fighting them."
21:43 <Skaya> "Maybe sound?"
21:43 <•Kotono> "I tried acid on the house," Liza speaks up from her own thoughts, gaze mostly on Sanda, "It didn't react unusually to it."
21:43 <•Kotono> "You," Rina turns, "How many scrolls and magic items do you have to expend?"
21:44 <•Kotono> "Not all that many left right now," A scowl, "And my petal missed, too. I can't believe it!"
21:44 <Devar> "Oh, true, we didn't try anything sonic." Devar says. "That's not really my forte anyway, though."
21:45 <Skaya> "That's another reason I just don't want to turn away without getting something material," Skaya muses.
21:45 <•Kotono> "I can manage a slight bit of it," Anne comments, "But it's rarely worth the trouble. It's not where my magic lies."
21:45 <•Kotono> "That too," Liza smiles warmly at Skaya, "This trip and underwater has been expensive."
21:46 <•Kotono> "We need to get back on board after this," Sanda looks up, "The shopping alone makes it worth it, and we can liquidate our gains there."
21:46 <Skaya> "At least we found coins underwater! And with Devar's purchase we'll be in the black there even before we hit the shark bandits."
21:48 <•Kotono> In the distance, thunder booms. "I'll check in case those storms are turning our way," Anne announces, getting up.
21:48 <•Kotono> "I doubt it," Rina sits back, "Storms don't usually change direction like that, but you can hear thunder from far away. A good way to curdle milk, as they say."
21:49 <•Kotono> "We're getting money back," Liza agrees, "A good chunk of silver or gold ore would sell well. Ah, we'll make more than we've spent back and then some!"
21:50 <•Kotono> OOC: Assuming nothing happens, and big if, anything to add here or good to move along to prep/seeing if anything happens before then?

21:56 <Skaya> OOC: I think we're good
21:58 <•Kotono> OOC: Okay, then more next time. I flop over to see the back o my eyelids.

Last post by Corwin - October 22, 2026, 06:13:44 AM19:03 <•Kotono> Liza retreats back, "I have something!" she calls, reaching out for a little, knotted rope. It's covered with large, colorful runes and with a pull, she yanks it apart. From it a blast of acid comes, a large spray that strafes the side of the entire house.
19:03 <•Kotono> roll 1d20+8
19:03 → Kobot joined (~dunefar@35E7EAFA.13257001.C00DC4F4.IP)

19:03 <•Kotono> roll 6d6
19:03 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 6d6 --> [ 6d6=20 ]{20}
19:04 <•Kotono> The acid sprays all about, splattering against it. It burns away from the blast, hit by it as the house lets out a high pitched near roar, before taking a wild chomp at Devar again, thrashing about.
19:04 <•Kotono> roll 1d20+21 the joys of being the designated target
19:04 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+21 the joys of being the designated target --> [ 1d20=20 ]{41}

19:05 <•Kotono> roll 4d6+20 chomped
19:05 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 4d6+20 chomped --> [ 4d6=14 ]{34}

19:06 <Kobot> Devar rolled 1d20+25 --> [ 1d20=2 ]{27}
19:08 <•Kotono> AH! Devar's side is bitten and bashed. It's not as bad as what happened to Sanda, thankfully, but it still tearas him open and draws blood. It leaves him with a flash of agony before...OOC: Go, you and Rina. Update HP too.
19:08 Devar set the topic: Skaya: 94/100 (+6AC/+4 vs melee, GMW+2, Sanda's bracers of +4CON) Devar 79/113 Anne 83/83 Sanda 60/60 Rina 85/85
19:09 <Devar> Devar grimaces, but holds tightly to his sword and slashes at the face of this monster repeatedly! OOC: Do I count as flanking with Rina or is it not really possible due to it being, you know, a house?
19:11 <•Kotono> OOC: Too big and she's mobile anyway.
19:11 <Devar> OOC: Okay
19:11 <Devar> roll 1d20+15 whack

19:12 <Kobot> Devar rolled 2d8+14 big whack --> [ 2d8=12 ]{26}
19:14 <•Kotono> Thet wo trade blows. Devar tears into the side of it, running along ot drag the blade. It spills more of the ooze from within, as Rina dashes in to slash across it's corner.
19:14 <•Kotono> roll 1d20+18
19:14 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+18 --> [ 1d20=14 ]{32}

19:14 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d6+3+1d6 --> [ 1d6=6 1d6=2 ]{11}
19:15 <•Kotono> Rina slashes in further, tearing away more. The three of you keep it occupied as it thrashes about, Liza bringing her hands together and chanting, before the old mainstay fires once more, four missiles seeking the house.
19:15 <•Kotono> roll 4d4+4
19:15 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 4d4+4 --> [ 4d4=8 ]{12}
19:15 <•Kotono> They pepper it even further, striking hard and true as...OOC: House as I get Skaya rolling.
19:21 <•Kotono> The house continues to thrash, dazzled and wounded. Whatever intellect it has isn't enough to stop this, as it tries to barrel over Devar, crush it beneath him with a sudden leap up nad then down at him!
19:21 <•Kotono> OOC: Ref save, try not to get crushed.

19:24 <•Kotono> Pain. Pain explodes in Devar's senses as he's suddenly trapped under a great deal of weight. He's crushed down, breathing hard and painful as...OOC: You're obviously pinned by a great weight underneath you and that limits your options. Go ahead and tell me what you want to try and do, and we'll go from there. Rina will be slashing in the meantime.
19:24 <Devar> OOC: Cast Dimension Door.
19:25 <•Kotono> OOC: Components? Somantics are going to be extremely difficult here.

19:26 <•Kotono> OOC: Your lucky day. Where are you aiming for?
19:26 <Devar> OOC: Up towards Anne if he can see her. Her services are suddenly in high demand.
19:27 <•Kotono> OOC: You're pinned beneath something. Seeing much of a nything's the problem. But I assume you have an idea of where she's at, roughly.
19:28 <•Kotono> With a wink you're in air, a gasp for breath you don't need. Far above, body brokena nd bashed. "Devar!" You hear Anne from above you. All as...

19:35 <•Kotono> "Coming," Anne descends down, healing you. Sanda's slumped over in her arms, passed out. One hand reaches out, "Please," she whispers.

19:36 <•Kotono> Meanwhile there's a loud BOOM below, one that rattles the air.

19:42 <•Kotono> You're high up enough you're only part way back down, still about 150ft to go. Anne was quite high up, as requested. As you descend, you see Rina again strafe it, slashing and staying moving.

Mini Game Logs / Re: The Shark Pirates 026
Last post by Corwin - October 22, 2026, 06:13:22 AM19:16 <•Kotono> This time no more comes right away. At least that Skaya can see before-! OOC: Ref save, Skaya.
19:17 <Skaya> roll 1d20+14+1+7 evasion
19:17 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+14+1+7 evasion --> [ 1d20=17 ]{39}
19:20 <•Kotono> The ground beneath her cracks open, goo reaching up for her. She's too fast, taking to the air and avoiding it all. Nothing more's coming at her right away - no more launched attacks, at least. OOC: Go.
19:21 <Skaya> Surely the goo is finite in quantity? So long as she keeps washing it away, it'll eventually reach a critical point and then collapse? So Skaya keeps at it!
19:21 <Skaya> roll 1d20+14 ranged touch
19:21 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+14 ranged touch --> [ 1d20=18 ]{32}
19:21 <Skaya> roll 8d6
19:21 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 8d6 --> [ 8d6=34 ]{34}
19:25 <•Kotono> The rest above ground is washed away. No more's coming out, at least for now. No more ground opening beneath her. Did it run out of goo to throw, perhaps?
19:25 <•Kotono> OOC: Go ahead and go, seemingly no action that you notice. We'lls tay round by round for now.
19:26 — Skaya decides to set the building itself on fire!
19:26 <Skaya> roll 1d20+14 ranged touch
19:26 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+14 ranged touch --> [ 1d20=19 ]{33}
19:26 <Skaya> roll 1d6 fire
19:26 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d6 fire --> [ 1d6=6 ]{6}
19:27 <•Kotono> Fire. The building begins to burn, flame doing what flame does. It's just a start for it, but you've lit a proverbial match.
19:28 — Skaya gets out and allows it to burn. If there's any goo left, surely it'll be easier to spot after the fire consumes all it can.
19:34 <•Kotono> It burns away, not eagerly, but certainly not slowly. It's doing the job, at least, and no attacks are following. No signs of goo, at least nothing obvious.
19:36 — Skaya gains some altitude and observes for any other signs of goo, in house form or otherwise.
19:36 <Skaya> OOC: Perception 10 for 30, please
19:37 <•Kotono> Nope, none of that. Just the ongoing battle, with the house side down as a huge blast of fire and force explodes just past the house. Somehow something big missed a huge target.
19:39 — Skaya heads back to rejoin the others, then. They can do cleanup together later.
19:41 <•Kotono> OOC: I'll have you rejoin next round, I'll integrate you in
19:17 <Skaya> roll 1d20+14+1+7 evasion

19:25 <•Kotono> The rest above ground is washed away. No more's coming out, at least for now. No more ground opening beneath her. Did it run out of goo to throw, perhaps?
19:25 <•Kotono> OOC: Go ahead and go, seemingly no action that you notice. We'lls tay round by round for now.
19:26 — Skaya decides to set the building itself on fire!
19:26 <Skaya> roll 1d20+14 ranged touch
19:26 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+14 ranged touch --> [ 1d20=19 ]{33}
19:26 <Skaya> roll 1d6 fire
19:26 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d6 fire --> [ 1d6=6 ]{6}
19:27 <•Kotono> Fire. The building begins to burn, flame doing what flame does. It's just a start for it, but you've lit a proverbial match.
19:28 — Skaya gets out and allows it to burn. If there's any goo left, surely it'll be easier to spot after the fire consumes all it can.
19:34 <•Kotono> It burns away, not eagerly, but certainly not slowly. It's doing the job, at least, and no attacks are following. No signs of goo, at least nothing obvious.
19:36 — Skaya gains some altitude and observes for any other signs of goo, in house form or otherwise.
19:36 <Skaya> OOC: Perception 10 for 30, please
19:37 <•Kotono> Nope, none of that. Just the ongoing battle, with the house side down as a huge blast of fire and force explodes just past the house. Somehow something big missed a huge target.
19:39 — Skaya heads back to rejoin the others, then. They can do cleanup together later.
19:41 <•Kotono> OOC: I'll have you rejoin next round, I'll integrate you in

Last post by Corwin - October 22, 2026, 06:13:05 AM19:20 <Kotono> This time her aim is bad. She can't land a blow as she dodges, as goo fires. At the same time-! A large, beefy humanoid leaps out from one of the holes, clad in ragged clothes and with a big, heavy warhammer in both hands. He charges Skaya outright, letting out a high pitched bellow.
19:21 <Kotono> roll 5#1d20+12 goo blasts at you

19:25 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+14 hammer time --> [ 1d20=4 ]{18}
19:26 <Kotono> Yet none of these hit Skaya. She weaves between blasts as non touch her, while the hammer is parried with a forearm redirect. Tight and tense, as the man's face is more mouth than anything else. He looks terribly ready to eat you bite by bite, no mercy given. OOC: Goooo.
19:29 <Skaya> Ah, of course. Of course it's more humanoid goo. Just why are they even fighting? But Skaya doesn't let such random thoughts defeat her. After all, she's well aware that there are monsters out there who only care about setting the world on fire, so she just retaliates as best as she can against this fresh opponent!

19:33 <Kotono> Three hits slam the man hard. He's kicked in the middle, bent over before a spinning kick sends him flying. He lands hard and doesn't get up, unable to do much. As he goes still, the rest...OOC: Okay, we'll pick up with their next turn Tuesday. At least we got a tiny bit in. Hope Neph's okay.

19:21 <Skaya> roll 1d20+20
19:21 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+20 --> [ 1d20=19 ]{39}
19:29 <•Kotono> ! The floor beneath you suddenly begins to open up, but you notice it right away, a chance to react.
19:32 — Skaya is a flier, and as such dashes up and out of immediate range! Let's see if the goo creatures can match her agility and speed!
19:35 <•Kotono> AH! Just in time, Skaya avoids all of them. Splashes of goo come out of tha tnd other holes that open up. Dozens beneath where she was, all of them, widening. Skaya might have a problem! OOC: Init here, good luck.
19:35 <Skaya> roll 1d20+13

19:36 <Skaya> roll 6d6
19:36 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 6d6 --> [ 6d6=24 ]{24}
19:41 <•Kotono> It's a spray. What comes out is washed back and away, but there's more opening. Several open up past your range to sweep, and a barrage of goo shots come your way, the ground cracking open with them.
19:41 <•Kotono> roll 3#1d20+12
19:41 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 3#1d20+12 --> [ 1d20=1 ]{13}, [ 1d20=8 ]{20}, [ 1d20=19 ]{31}

19:42 <Skaya> OOC: 37 unless melee
19:47 <•Kotono> All the shots miss Skaya, able to dodge, at least for now. More are opening up, and who knows what'as going on inside now, though. OOC: Go.
19:50 <Skaya> Can she really do anything else? For now, Skaya decides to stick the course and see whether her efforts are bearing fruit and less goo comes out to attack her.

Last post by Corwin - October 22, 2026, 06:12:20 AM19:03 <•Kotono> Skaya flies over. Inside the house, hidden from sight as you peek in, you see goo. Goo is building up in there, like a rising tide of it. It's pumping up from holes in the floor, pushed upwards.
19:03 — Skaya washes it down with more water! She has to take responsibility all the way, doesn't she?

19:09 <Devar> OOC: Take 10 for 24
19:13 <•Kotono> As Skaya does that, Devar notices something. One of the buildings is starting to squirm, like jelly wobbling in its bowl. Far away from Skaya, but notable to his eyes. A simple cottage, not that large.
19:14 <Devar> "Do you things have no sense of self-preservation!?" Devar shouts. "Skaya, got another building that's decided today is the day to die!" He calls out to her, pointing it out to the others. For now he'll stay airborne and hold where he is.

19:17 <Devar> "To be honest, I have no idea, but hitting the last one with a sword enough times made it stop moving, so perhaps I'm overcomplicating this!" He calls out. "You keep on the one you're on."
19:20 <•Kotono> OOC: Okay, two separate things are about to break out. Devar in here, Skaya in #evil. I'll sort both out. For this side, roll init for Devar, Liza and Rina. Anne's still keeping the wounded Sanda above and safe.

19:29 <•Kotono> "Yes!" Rina hangs back a moment for that, the party a decent distance away. The house is about 200ft away and lumbering up. Legs form beneath it as its entire side becomes a big, sharp toothed mouth. It begins to advance, closing 120ft in moments. It's coming your way fast as...! OOC: DEvar.
19:30 <Devar> Devar flies over, quickly casting Mage Armor for Rina's benefit, before flying at the creature and aiming for its legs! OOC: If I need to eat an AoO that's fine, AC is 39 against melee attacks, and if it does it also has to make a DC24 will save

19:46 <•Kotono> Devar manages to rush in and slice at the creature's legs. It scores wounds throughout, little hits. It's so big it somewhat mitigates the attack, but blood is still drawn. Then Rina's right behind him, racing forward as...OOC: Rina taking her held action. More.

19:47 <•Kotono> Rina's fast, able to swipe by. It's not quite enough to land a hit, but she slashes away in vain. "Go higher," she cries as its maw opens wide, chomping at both youa nd her, but both of you are too fast. OOC: Liza.

19:42 <Devar> roll 1d20+15 whack
19:42 <Kobot> Devar rolled 1d20+15 whack --> [ 1d20=17 ]{32}

19:42 <Devar> roll 1d8+7 whack
19:42 <Kobot> Devar rolled 1d8+7 whack --> [ 1d8=4 ]{11}
19:46 <•Kotono> Devar manages to rush in and slice at the creature's legs. It scores wounds throughout, little hits. It's so big it somewhat mitigates the attack, but blood is still drawn. Then Rina's right behind him, racing forward as...OOC: Rina taking her held action. More.
19:46 <•Kotono> Init is House (19) > Devar = Rina (15) > Liza (9)
19:46 <•Kotono> roll 1d20+18 slash
19:46 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+18 slash --> [ 1d20=6 ]{24}
19:47 <•Kotono> Rina's fast, able to swipe by. It's not quite enough to land a hit, but she slashes away in vain. "Go higher," she cries as its maw opens wide, chomping at both youa nd her, but both of you are too fast. OOC: Liza.
