The Dwarven Memorial 024

[Corwin]

19:43 <•Kotono> The next day a dwarf is produced. A squat fellow, he has a face that has burn patches all over it. No facial hair but a wild mane of thick stone-gray hair that reaches past his shoulders. He wears simple enough cltohes with a breastplate over them. He walks in with a stare down at all of you, patches of burnt, ruined skin all on his face like he got sprayed with fire. Milla enters a step behind
19:43 <•Kotono> him.
19:44 <•Kotono> Anne simply nod to him, expression blank. Sanda's not quite so good and stares several moments, before clearing her throat and looking away.
19:45 <Skaya> "Hello!" Skaya greets him, coming over to shake his hand. "Thank you so much for coming on short notice!"
19:47 <Devar> Devar raises a hand in greeting!
19:49 <•Kotono> Skaya gets a handshake back, Devar and Anne a nod. "The pay's good," he says, "And the story's better." His voice is gruff and rough. More than that, damaged perhaps. "Tell me what you found down in the soil's bones."
19:50 <Skaya> "Why don't we talk as we go?" Skaya proposes. "It is a bit of a walk."
19:53 <•Kotono> "Go ahead," The dwarf says, "All of you are?"
19:54 <•Kotono> "Skaya, Devar, Anne, Sanda, Liza," Anne lists off one by one, pointing each time. "You are?"
19:55 — Skaya smiles when Anne says her name.
19:56 <•Kotono> "Petrove," The dwarf answers as he follows, not adding anything else.
19:56 <•Kotono> Liza sniffs but doesn't push it, perhaps for the best.
19:57 <•Kotono> OOC: Any precautions heading down or just going on down?
19:58 <Skaya> OOC: We'll go without precautions! But tell him about what's below.
20:03 <•Kotono> The trip down is uneventful. No more signs of ankhegs - at least until you reach the lake. A much large than normal burrow hole is here, and an anhkeg lies on the ground here, torn in half. Blood splatter is about, along with unmentionable parts that are normally on the inside.
20:04 <Skaya> "What do you think? Lava dragon strikes again?"
20:05 <•Kotono> Rina smoothly advances, checking the burorw hole. "It's waterlogged deeper in," she says after peering in. "It went a little too close to the lake's edge.I'm guessing it turns into a clogged, impassable mess further past that because of the water."
20:05 <•Kotono> Anne grimaces, "Perhaps, or perhaps something else. I hope it was only the lava dragon."
20:06 <•Kotono> Petrove looks on, "At least one less of those are around. Miserable pests, those things."
20:06 <Skaya> "So it's still dangerous here, but nothing that would immediately cause us to retreat," Skaya muses. "Alright, let's see if we can open the door, then."
20:06 <•Kotono> Milla sniffs the air and kneels next to half of the ankheg. "It didn't die within the past few hours. I'd assume overnight."
20:07 <•Kotono> That gets a few side eyes, but nothing more. Anne instead takes to the air, "Then let us cross over to the other side of the lake with all haste."
20:07 <•Kotono> Sanda goes to the lake's edge, "What do you think the odds are that there's anything worthwhile in the water?"
20:08 <Devar> "Closer to zero than further away from it, I imagine." Devar says.
20:08 <Skaya> "Even odds of riches and danger," Skaya voices. "Want to take Devar's telepathy ring so we can rescue you if things go bad?"
20:10 <•Kotono> "Please," Sanda says, going to Devar, "I fnothing else, I'll be safe from the fire sahuagin in there."
20:12 — Skaya grins at Devar, saying, "Worthwhile things can be experiences, too. You can't just think in terms of material treasure!"
20:12 <Devar> Devar hands it over to Sanda! "Don't do anything reckless." He says with a smile.
20:13 → Kobot joined (~dunefar@8C90D1D6.E43ECEC5.F259B257.IP)
20:13 <•Kotono> roll 1d100
20:13 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d100 --> [ 1d100=10 ]{10}
20:13 <•Kotono> roll 1d20 Perception Sanda
20:13 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20 Perception Sanda --> [ 1d20=16 ]{16}
20:13 <•Kotono> roll 1d20+6 ???
20:13 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+6 ??? --> [ 1d20=9 ]{15}
20:16 <•Kotono> Eventually, Sanda emerges back up. "Nothing interesting," she says blandly, unbothered by the water. "
20:16 <•Kotono> Eventually, Sanda emerges back up. "Nothing interesting," she says blandly, unbothered by the water. "At least nothing worth dredging out of there."
20:17 <Skaya> "It's better to try than to give up! At least now we can move on with a calm heart."
20:19 <•Kotono> "Onward," Anne says, as a bit of a flight and then a walk takes you to the archway you found before, that Rina stoneswam past. Ball's in your court.
20:21 <Skaya> "So like I was saying, unlike the mausoleum, there is no clear way to enter here," Skaya tells Petrove. "We figured that since going through stone lets you pass, it's not a complicated magical defense but one that looks for kin. So an honest appeal from you should do it?"
20:33 <•Kotono> PEtrove looks over it, "I'll take a look," He promises, going up. He touches the archway, reads it. After a little bit he kneels and goes into prayer. After several minutes of that, the stone shimmers and changes, a passageway ahead revealed.
20:33 <•Kotono> Anne smiles, "Easier than I had anticipated."
20:33 — Skaya waits for Petrove to finish before asking, "Are we allowed inside?"
20:44 <•Kotono> Once done he stands, "I don't see why not, but yo um ight get a surprise or three," he warns, "Your skin."
20:44 <•Kotono> Anne considers this, as Sanda says ,"I like those odds. We can handle it." She steps on in and ahead.
20:44 <•Kotono> Liza follows, as does Rina, unbothered.
20:44 <Devar> Devar will go in last with the others!
20:44 — Skaya steps in with them.
20:51 <•Kotono> The party steps in. HEre is a wide, broad passage lit with smokeless torches on the walls. The way ahead is paved stone, like an underground road. You walk a little distance, before in Common, "You come in without sneaking this time, woman?" A man's voice, echoing all around.
20:51 <•Kotono> Rina immediately looks about, hand on her sword, "You saw me last time?"
20:52 <Devar> It *would* make sense for something like this to have some sort of guardian...
20:52 <Skaya> "We didn't know what the proper key was at the time," Skaya speaks up. "If you wish to blame someone for that, I'll take full responsibility."
20:54 <•Kotono> Petrove bows and in Dwarven, "Greetings, honored protector."
20:55 <•Kotono> "I saw you." The voice continues, "Well met, blood of the stone and earth. I have no quarrel with you. As for the interloper, you would take responsibility for her?"
20:56 <Skaya> "I'm responsible for my choices," Skaya responds with a nod. "What amends should I make?"
21:02 <•Kotono> "Are you willing to face danger and death to make amends?" Is the question back.
21:03 — Skaya doesn't see a need to drag this out. So long as she's not asked to go against her conscience, the rest is easily done, and so she nods.
21:09 <•Kotono> "Then step forward and have the others step back," Is the answer.
21:09 <•Kotono> "Be careful," Anne says simply, "We don't know what this iwll be."
21:10 — Skaya spreads her arms helplessly in return to Anne's words. Of course they don't! But this is fine. She takes several steps ahead, clearing the potential blast radius.
21:14 <•Kotono> A figure manifests. Indistinct, but vaguely human like. A heavy, two handed mace is wielded as it advances, "Prepare yourself. Trial by combat shall set things to right, no matter the outcome."
21:15 — Skaya nods before casting two spells, one for offense and one for defense. "What are the rules?" she asks. "And what are the victory conditions, besides death and surrender?"
21:15 <Skaya> roll 1d10+8 false life
21:15 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d10+8 false life --> [ 1d10=3 ]{11}
21:15 <Skaya> OOC: Second spell is GMW
21:15 Skaya set the topic: Skaya: 11+100/100 (Sanda's bracers of +4CON, GMW +2) Devar 113/113 Anne 83/83 Sanda 60/60 Rina 85/85
21:16 <•Kotono> The moment you cast the figure advances, giving you no chance to do so. OOC: It's not going to let you sit there and prep, so rather than spells, roll init.
21:16 <Skaya> OOC: He did liteally say prepare yourself, but fine!
21:17 <Skaya> roll 1d20+13
21:17 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+13 --> [ 1d20=7 ]{20}
21:17 <•Kotono> OOC: Very much a turn of phrase they didn't think through, but fair. Still, init, since spellcasting usually means a fight.
21:17 <•Kotono> roll 1d20+8
21:17 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+8 --> [ 1d20=8 ]{16}
21:17 <•Kotono> OOC: Open. The figure is 15ft away.
21:18 <•Kotono> "Good luck!" Sanda calls, "Show them how strong you are!"
21:18 <Skaya> Suddenly, Skaya is all the way by the indistinct figure! And then she attacks relentlessly!
21:19 <Skaya> OOC: Travel devotion as swift, haste boots as free, let's go
21:19 <Skaya> roll 1d20+12+7 inspiration, stun
21:19 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+12+7 inspiration, stun --> [ 1d20=18 ]{37}
21:19 <Skaya> roll 1d20+12+7 inspiration, stun
21:19 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+12+7 inspiration, stun --> [ 1d20=9 ]{28}
21:19 <Skaya> roll 1d20+12+7 inspiration, stun
21:19 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+12+7 inspiration, stun --> [ 1d20=20 ]{39}
21:19 <Skaya> roll 1d20+12+7 inspiration, stun crit?
21:19 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+12+7 inspiration, stun crit? --> [ 1d20=6 ]{25}
21:20 <•Kotono> OOC: Three hits, and that is a crit. Immune to stun, though.
21:20 <Skaya> roll 1d20+8+7 inspiration, and the previous were all +1 more not that it mattered
21:20 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+8+7 inspiration, and the previous were all +1 more not that it mattered --> [ 1d20=19 ]{34}
21:20 <Skaya> roll 3d6+5+1d8 hit1
21:20 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 3d6+5+1d8 hit1 --> [ 3d6=15 1d8=4 ]{24}
21:20 <Skaya> roll 3d6+5+1d8 hit2
21:20 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 3d6+5+1d8 hit2 --> [ 3d6=11 1d8=3 ]{19}
21:20 <Skaya> roll 3d6+5+1d8 hit4
21:20 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 3d6+5+1d8 hit4 --> [ 3d6=6 1d8=4 ]{15}
21:21 <Skaya> roll 6d6+10+1d8 crit
21:21 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 6d6+10+1d8 crit --> [ 6d6=21 1d8=3 ]{34}
21:22 <Skaya> roll 1d8 this is also from the crit
21:22 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d8 this is also from the crit --> [ 1d8=4 ]{4}
21:23 <•Kotono> Punches and kicks rain down on the figure. A jab snaps its head back, then a kick to the gut knocks them back. Their guard is broken, letting Skaya pummel its ribs, blow after blow striking. It's resistant, hard to hurt, but you still feel it giving some each time, each blow effective if reduced. It's hard to tell detail son the figure, more a suggestion than real, but you hit it several times.
21:23 <•Kotono> It does not yield, but instead steps forward, returning fire at Skaya.
21:23 <•Kotono> roll 1d20+23 (+2 ???)
21:23 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+23 (+2 ???) --> [ 1d20=12 ]{35}
21:23 <•Kotono> roll 1d20+23 (+2 ???)
21:23 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+23 (+2 ???) --> [ 1d20=17 ]{40}
21:23 <•Kotono> roll 1d20+18 (+2 ???)
21:23 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+18 (+2 ???) --> [ 1d20=8 ]{26}
21:23 <•Kotono> roll 1d20+13 (+2 ???)
21:23 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+13 (+2 ???) --> [ 1d20=10 ]{23}
21:23 <•Kotono> OOC: AC?
21:23 <Skaya> OOC: AC is 32 due to haste
21:24 <•Kotono> roll 1d8+12+2d6+1d6 nonlethal owwies
21:24 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d8+12+2d6+1d6 nonlethal owwies --> [ 1d8=5 2d6=4 1d6=3 ]{24}
21:24 <•Kotono> roll 1d8+12+2d6+1d6 nonlethal owwies
21:24 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d8+12+2d6+1d6 nonlethal owwies --> [ 1d8=5 2d6=8 1d6=5 ]{30}
21:24 Skaya set the topic: Skaya: 46/100 (Sanda's bracers of +4CON, GMW +2) Devar 113/113 Anne 83/83 Sanda 60/60 Rina 85/85
21:24 <•Kotono> OOC: Nonlethal, Skaya.
21:24 Skaya set the topic: Skaya: 100(46)/100 (Sanda's bracers of +4CON, GMW +2) Devar 113/113 Anne 83/83 Sanda 60/60 Rina 85/85
21:26 <•Kotono> Skaya brings her guard up, but the mace blow to her arms shatters her guard. She stumbles back as the mace hits her right in the stomach, doubling her over. She wheezes and retreats back, coughing and seeing nothing but a white-red haze of pain. That blow was tremendously powerful, each attack devastating. It's only her awkward stumbles that saved her from two more swings, fire returned indeed.
21:26 <•Kotono> OOC: Go.
21:26 <•Kotono> Liza gasps, a hand to her chest. Anne looks intense, "This won't last long, either way."
21:26 <•Kotono> "They both hit hard," Rina agrees.
21:26 <Skaya> That's ridiculously strong! But Skaya doesn't give up, and instead launches into her own counter-offensive before clicking her heels and dancing out of the way.
21:27 <Skaya> OOC: I want to full attack, then retreat with the travel devotion's move action and avoid an AoO with acrobatics
21:28 <•Kotono> OOC: You're welcome to try.
21:28 <Skaya> roll 1d20+13+7 inspiration
21:28 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+13+7 inspiration --> [ 1d20=2 ]{22}
21:28 <Skaya> roll 1d20+13+7 inspiration
21:28 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+13+7 inspiration --> [ 1d20=12 ]{32}
21:28 <Skaya> roll 1d20+13+7 inspiration
21:28 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+13+7 inspiration --> [ 1d20=7 ]{27}
21:28 <Skaya> roll 1d20+8
21:28 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+8 --> [ 1d20=2 ]{10}
21:29 <•Kotono> OOC: Two hits.
21:29 <Skaya> roll 3d6+5+1d8 hit1
21:29 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 3d6+5+1d8 hit1 --> [ 3d6=9 1d8=2 ]{16}
21:29 <Skaya> roll 3d6+5+1d8 hit2
21:29 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 3d6+5+1d8 hit2 --> [ 3d6=6 1d8=1 ]{12}
21:30 <Skaya> roll 1d20+24 acrobatics, I'm going to move for 120ft and then end up 60ft away from my opponent. I activated Presip's Life Walk as a swift before moving.
21:30 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+24 acrobatics, I'm going to move for 120ft and then end up 60ft away from my opponent. I activated Presip's Life Walk as a swift before moving. --> [ 1d20=11 ]{35}
21:30 Skaya set the topic: Skaya: 100(70)/100 (Sanda's bracers of +4CON, GMW +2) Devar 113/113 Anne 83/83 Sanda 60/60 Rina 85/85
21:32 <•Kotono> Skaya retreats away, past everyone and buying time. Her wounds mend as she does, as in return the figure suddenly breaks apart - only to reform a moment later above Skaya, coming down for a single, heavy downward blow from above.
21:32 <•Kotono> roll 1d20+21 (+2 ????, +1 higher ground, -3 PA)
21:32 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+21 (+2 ????, +1 higher ground, -3 PA) --> [ 1d20=20 ]{41}
21:32 <•Kotono> roll 1d20+21 (+2 ????, +1 higher ground, -3 PA) crit?
21:32 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+21 (+2 ????, +1 higher ground, -3 PA) crit? --> [ 1d20=2 ]{23}
21:32 <Skaya> OOC: AC still 32
21:33 <•Kotono> roll 1d8+18+2d6+1d6
21:33 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d8+18+2d6+1d6 --> [ 1d8=5 2d6=9 1d6=1 ]{33}
21:33 Skaya set the topic: Skaya: 100(37)/100 (Sanda's bracers of +4CON, GMW +2) Devar 113/113 Anne 83/83 Sanda 60/60 Rina 85/85
21:34 <•Kotono> Skaya can't react fast enough. Liza's dismayed crit is heard as Skaya brings her arms up, but is knockeddown hard. The impact leaves her ears ringing, a reflexive roll back and spring up the only reason she's not down and out. The power behind that blow was tremendous, the figure now before her as...OOC: Go.
21:35 <Skaya> Well then. She decided to go all in, and it hasn't actually carried her across. But when magical reserves fade, there is still her!
21:35 <Skaya> roll 1d20+13
21:35 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+13 --> [ 1d20=19 ]{32}
21:35 <Skaya> roll 1d20+13
21:35 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+13 --> [ 1d20=13 ]{26}
21:35 <Skaya> roll 1d20+13
21:35 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+13 --> [ 1d20=6 ]{19}
21:35 <Skaya> roll 1d20+7
21:35 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+7 --> [ 1d20=9 ]{16}
21:35 <Skaya> roll 3d6+5+1d8 hit1
21:35 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 3d6+5+1d8 hit1 --> [ 3d6=13 1d8=8 ]{26}
21:35 <Skaya> roll 3d6+5+1d8 hit2
21:35 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 3d6+5+1d8 hit2 --> [ 3d6=6 1d8=3 ]{14}
21:36 <Skaya> And turns out, her skills are still decent! So she tries to weave out of the figure's range and recover her breath a bit.
21:36 <Skaya> roll 1d20+24 acrobatics, I'm going to move for 120ft again for recovery
21:36 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+24 acrobatics, I'm going to move for 120ft again for recovery --> [ 1d20=10 ]{34}
21:37 Skaya set the topic: Skaya: 100(61)/100 (Sanda's bracers of +4CON, GMW +2) Devar 113/113 Anne 83/83 Sanda 60/60 Rina 85/85
21:40 <•Kotono> Two blows. Neither the best, both resisted. It's still enough to stagger the figure, who then breaks apart. Then this time to your side, swinging again once heavily, everything it has behind it. "Dodge!" Liza cries, as Milla watches with intense concentration.
21:40 <•Kotono> roll 1d20+21 (+2 ????, +4 smite, -6 PA)
21:40 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+21 (+2 ????, +4 smite, -6 PA) --> [ 1d20=19 ]{40}
21:41 <•Kotono> roll 1d20+21 (+2 ????, +4 smite, -6 PA) crit yeesh Kobot has opinions on dice today
21:41 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+21 (+2 ????, +4 smite, -6 PA) crit yeesh Kobot has opinions on dice today --> [ 1d20=15 ]{36}
21:42 <•Kotono> roll 1d8+32+2d6+1d6 all the ow
21:42 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d8+32+2d6+1d6 all the ow --> [ 1d8=7 2d6=11 1d6=5 ]{55}
21:43 Skaya set the topic: Skaya: 100(6)/100 (Sanda's bracers of +4CON, GMW +2) Devar 113/113 Anne 83/83 Sanda 60/60 Rina 85/85
21:43 <•Kotono> This time the blow is so heavy that Skaya's knocked flying back. She lands hard, barely able to breathe. No lethal strikes but her entire body screams as her as she scrambles up, the creature's mace raised up for another strike as...OOC: Go.
21:45 <Devar> Devar's been watching this whole time with a frown, but he isn't going to interfere now. It doesn't seem like her life is actual in any real danger here, so he just stays put.
21:46 <Skaya> Looks like this is the end. Skaya is disappointed, quite frankly. Surely she hit him hard enough to take someone like her twice over? But there's always someone here to teach her a lesson about not being ready for her challenges, so all she can do is give her best. Wiping blood off her lips, she narrows her eyes at her opponent. "Take my last attack. If you can still stand afterwards, it's fully my loss."
21:47 <Skaya> roll 1d20+13
21:47 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+13 --> [ 1d20=7 ]{20}
21:47 <Skaya> roll 1d20+13
21:47 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+13 --> [ 1d20=1 ]{14}
21:47 <Skaya> roll 1d20+13
21:47 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+13 --> [ 1d20=16 ]{29}
21:47 <Skaya> roll 1d20+8
21:47 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+8 --> [ 1d20=4 ]{12}
21:47 <Skaya> roll 3d6+5+1d8 hit1
21:47 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 3d6+5+1d8 hit1 --> [ 3d6=13 1d8=2 ]{20}
21:53 <•Kotono> The blow hits hard. It's not hard enough. The figure staggers but stays up and swings hard - but doesn't finish the swing. "I'll accept your yielding. Well fought." The figure speaks, "You are courageous and your friends honorable not to interfere. You do not have the feel of thieves." He reaches out, one glimmering hand touching Skaya as healing flows through her. OOC: Nonlethal damage restored.
21:54 <Skaya> "Thank you," Skaya says gratefully, not having taken such treatment for granted. "You are very strong."
21:54 <•Kotono> Petrove comes forward, "Are you one of those created by Moradin?"
21:54 Skaya set the topic: Skaya: 100/100 (Sanda's bracers of +4CON, GMW +2) Devar 113/113 Anne 83/83 Sanda 60/60 Rina 85/85
21:56 <•Kotono> "You have strength for a mortal," A gracious nod back, "I am a servant of Moradin, nothing more. Why have you all come to this place of rememberance?"
21:57 <Skaya> "Beyond lies the Valley of Echoing Rivers. Only enter if you wish to see the remains of the past," Skaya recites. "After accidentally visiting Moradin's memorial for the Last Day here, we did truly wish to see these remains of the past."
22:04 <•Kotono> "Then go on," The figure invites, "If you wish to see what lies in memorial, I will not stop you."
22:05 <•Kotono> roll 1d8
22:05 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d8 --> [ 1d8=5 ]{5}
22:06 <Skaya> "Thank you," Skaya repeats, inclining her head, and then proceeds.
22:10 <•Kotono> As you walk along, "There's always someone stronger," Milla muses, a glance back as you go. "But that was no one normal."
22:11 <Devar> "I guess it's a good thing you only looked around when you were here, Rina." Devar says with a nod to Milla.
22:11 <Skaya> "I really need some kind of a trump card," Skaya says with a sigh. "That was just unreasonable."
22:12 <•Kotono> "We're each other's trump cards," Anne counters, "We don't normally fight alone."
22:12 <Skaya> "Nice!"
22:12 <•Kotono> "It is good," Rina admits, "Geez, I dodged one there."
22:12 <•Kotono> "You really did," Petrove says grimly, "I doubt it would held those strikes otherwise."
22:15 <•Kotono> At that you advance forward adn Anne starts to speak...next time! OOC: Ran a bit over since I started a bit late, but it's that time.

[Corwin]

19:08 <•Kotono> "Nevertheless, we go onward," Anne walks, "How far it is, Rina?"
19:08 <•Kotono> "
19:08 <•Kotono> "Not far, I'll show you," Rina invites, "It's a view you won't forget."
19:10 — Skaya is content to follow, siding up to Liza. "Sorry I couldn't win that fight."
19:12 <Devar> Devar will follow along from the back, taking in the sights as they go.
19:19 <•Kotono> For now it's only a long hallway. At the end of it, it breaks into two passages. One is a little path upwards to a cliff, to some sort of opening. The other is a path that winds downwards at a more gentle slope. "This way," Rina leads you upwards, to the cliff. Here it opens up at the top of an impossibly wide and deep chasm. A chasm that's a view of an underground valley, terrance after terrance
19:19 <•Kotono> carved into the walls by nature and then dwarven hands. Here great towns and villages are built into each one, roads and paths connecting them. Deep below, so deep mist mostly hides it, a vast river silently roars. It's a big river even for above ground standards, winding through relentlessly. All about are buildings of stone, brick and similar, not a single other soul seen here. Only a view
19:19 <•Kotono> of what lies below, so many lost worlds.
19:21 <Skaya> "Are we still under Mellanics?" Skaya wonders, taking that astonishing view in.
19:22 <Devar> "Oh, Picke had no idea this was here, for what it's worth." Devar says. "I do also have some other news, but it can wait until after we're done here." He adds, taking to the air to get a look around. "Preserved like this for however long... is this all just some piece of what that river does, I wonder? Or is it all just really down there?"
19:26 <•Kotono> "This can't be natural," Anne decides at last, voice strained. "It's impossible. This has to be an act of the divine."
19:26 <•Kotono> "Of course he didn't," Milla says, but her voice lacks any heat, anything as she looks down. "It's an entire valley kingdom down here, undisturbed."
19:27 <Skaya> "Do you think it's meant to remain undisturbed, a memorial? Or is it to be used again?"
19:27 <•Kotono> "Moradin," Petrove whispers, hand over his chest. "As he carved the bones of the world, he surely crafted this valley."
19:28 <Devar> "Maybe we'll understand if we keep going?" Devar says.
19:34 <•Kotono> "We go on," Petrove says, "Moradin's wisdom will be shown to us deeper in, closer to the stones of the world."
19:34 <•Kotono> "There's no way I'm not seeing more," Sanda agrees, "This is an once in a lifetime chance."
19:36 <Skaya> "Let's try the other path, then," Skaya proposes. "It feels rude to just fly there directly."
19:43 <•Kotono> With that, the party heads down the other path. It doesn't have a view, but on you walk. Several minutes you follow the path, until ahead you see a larger opening. It's sealed with heavy stone doors, decorated with dwaves at work. Mining, smithing, crafting, brewing, building. The carvings are remarkably life-like, excellent quality and often inset with shining gold or lustrious silver to accent
19:43 <•Kotono> them.
19:45 <Skaya> "Dwarves are renown as great smiths and builders," Skaya muses, studying the decorations. "Alcohol makes sense, too. But does it mean that dwarves don't take pride in farming or hunting, say?"
19:53 <•Kotono> "We farm, but this is built to Moradin, I'm sure of it," Petrove explains, "Other deities see to that and to hunting. Moradin himself is a hunter, but it's not his primary virtue."
19:54 <Skaya> "Ah, so that's how it is!"
19:54 <•Kotono> "You serve Moore? There's more to Moore than hope, but what would a common man say of Moore, if the knew of him at all?" PEtrove continues, a glance to Anne.
19:54 <•Kotono> "That's how it is," Anne concurs, "Surface level knowledge is what is most salient."
19:56 <Devar> "Is this sort of thing...hmm, I don't want to say normal, because nothing about here is really normal, but..." Devar considers, looking up at the mural. "Something of significance must've happened here beyond just what the mausoleum was erected for?"
20:04 <•Kotono> "I don't know," PEtrove says in thought, "But we'll find out of we go on." He goes to the door and touches it, pushing it open. Ahead the stone gives way to brickwork, a torch lit passage leading to stairs going down. Fine stairs of pristine white marble, shined and undulled by the passage of time.
20:05 — Skaya heads down the passage!
20:05 <Devar> "I'm sure the enchantments here are things of legend." Devar says, marveling at the condition of everything.
20:10 <•Kotono> Not a single chip, stain or worn down point. Not even the torches are anything but at their best. "It's like time refuses to touch it, or it's so well made time does nothing to it," Sanda marvels, "Imagine being a smith this good. You coul dname your prices."
20:12 <•Kotono> Down the passage and out. There! You step out into the streets of a dwarven village. Each building is stone or brick, sturdily built. The roads are paved gray stone, smooth and with no unevenness. They are far superior to dirt path, cobblestones or town roads. The buildings are all in fine condition, not a one disturbed. Before each doorway a plaque is set into the ground.
20:13 <Skaya> Who could even afford it? No, who would even sell it to random strangers in the first place? Demand must be quite higher than supply, Sanda! Thinking thus, Skaya approaches to read a nearby plaque.
20:13 <Devar> "Beyond the fact that this place is a marvel, Petrove, is this pretty standard for a village?" Devar asks, gesturing at the buildings and then the plaque.
20:18 <•Kotono> "Far nicer, but it's about right," Petrove follows, absorbed in every little thing. The plaque reads, "Salline's Butcher Shop. Mother and father stood proud against the shadows of Shar as their children ran out the back. Let their bravery and sacrifice never be forgotten."
20:18 <Devar> "Ah, perhaps 'river' is metaphorical in this case." Devar says.
20:19 <Skaya> "This town is not meant to be lived in again," Skaya says quietly, moving over to read the other plaques one by one.
20:27 <•Kotono> It's all much the same. A tailor's shop. A stonesmith. Residential houses. Farmhouses. All with stories of those who stood against Shar's shadows. In time this takes you to the town square. Here statues of hundreds of dwarves stand. Common dwarves, each one made life-like perfection. Each one stands, a momentry captured and preserved. "You're right. This isn't a place for the living, but for
20:27 <•Kotono> the memories of what came before. A monument to spite Shar's memory, that those who stood against her would not be forgotten," Anne says, voice solemn.
20:29 <•Kotono> "I remember the stories of the Final Day, but all fo this makes it seem so alive." Rina says, likewise serious.
20:30 <Devar> "That certainly also explains why there hasn't been anyone down here. I mean... besides the dragon, really." Devar says. "But this place shouldn't just be forgotten down below, I hope more people can see it eventually."
20:37 <•Kotono> "Do we go deeper or is this enough?" Sanda questions at this, "It's fascinating, but if it's all ike this, it's history."
20:37 <Skaya> "Let's take a look at any public works. Perhaps there is a mine or a smithy?"
20:38 <•Kotono> "Fine with me," Milla says, taking it all in. "Even if you don't, I'm going to stay longer. I need to make sure it's not goign to make trouble for us."
20:39 <•Kotono> The party wanders a little more. There's several paths into the earth leader deeper in, but also to the side. A larger cave entrance. Within can be spied dig tunnels, as well as minecarts and tracks. Mining equipment lies stacked about neatly, all of it in perfect condition. A plaque sits within as well.
20:39 — Skaya studies this plaque. As it is one of the things Moradin is well known for, perhaps there would be some difference?
20:42 <•Kotono> It reads: She wished for the mines to go silent and fade into nothing. Then, the greatest act of defiance is to mine the earth's treasures. Success or failure, all spites Shar's memory.
20:43 <Skaya> "What do you think about this?" Skaya voices, gesturing at the plaque. "Unlike those in the town itself, it seems like Moradin wishes the mines to be used again?"
20:48 <•Kotono> Petrove reads it, "I can see no harm in doing that," he agrees, "It's not theft, but carrying on the legacy of the miners who died to Shar's shadows."
20:49 <•Kotono> "It does sound like an invitation," Milla concurs, and goes and takes a pickaxe. She hefts it, "Good weight to it, too. I've held professionally smithed weapons worse than this."
20:50 <Skaya> "So maybe that's the true intent here? To both serve as a memorial, and allow for people to work where it's allowed? Perhaps later, the town itself will change and allow new people to settle there alongside the memorials of the old."
20:52 <•Kotono> "I like the symmetry of it," Anne considers, "Death but life. Memories honored and new ones created."
20:52 <•Kotono> Sanda meanwhile takes a pickaxe as well,  "And if we get lucky, more luck to us."
20:53 <Devar> "There may be places in town without plaques." Devar says. "It is pretty big, we saw a lot from up high."
20:53 <Skaya> "Perhaps. For now, let's all give mining a try?"
20:53 <•Kotono> "Ther emight be," Rina considers, before takine one of her own. "It feels like an invitation, and maybe one of us will get lucky."
20:54 <Devar> "Mining isn't exactly my strong suit, but I'll give it my best shot along with the rest of you." He says.
20:55 <•Kotono> "Very well," Anne considers it and joins you, as does everyone. Thus the party goes in and...OOC: d100 all. If you have 5 or more ranks of K:D, +5 bonus. If you have ranks in a related profession or other skill that you feel is topical to mining, +5 bonus (ask first). If you have the earth subtype, +10 bonus. If you have a skill that's 100% relevant, such as profession(miner), say so and you'll
20:55 <•Kotono> get a supplementary roll as well.
20:56 <Devar> roll 1d100 nothing at all!
20:56 <Kobot> Devar rolled 1d100 nothing at all! --> [ 1d100=13 ]{13}

20:57 <Skaya> OOC: I indeed have 5 ranks of K:D. I also think that since inspiration boosts a skill 1/day by +8 it should give a bonus!

20:59 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d100+5 Petrove subtable --> [ 1d100=57 ]{62}
21:08 ↔ Devar nipped out 
21:10 <•Kotono> It becomes a haze. It's not anything you remember entirely, but instead little memories of it. Of mining, of working hard. Day in and day out. It's good, honest work and slowly the earth yields its treasures. It's Rina who gets lucky first, a vein of silver found and mined. Memories of mining it out and finding a few others nearby, taking it all and then refining it. Refining it into small
21:10 <•Kotono> slender little bars of silver. Next is Petrove, who strikes gold. It glitters beautifully as you dig out chunk after chunk and then refine it as well. Finally, Milla? She finds red gemstones. Rubies the color of red-purple wine, carefully taken, polished, refined and carved. Until you have handfuls of gorgeous cut rubies, well crafted. Then...with exhaustion so deep you can barely think, each
21:10 <•Kotono> of you realize yu're standing before the mine entrance. A stack of gold bars, of silver bars and of polished rubies sits on the ground, along with fading memories. OOC: All of you are exhausted, as per the condition. Additionally, each of you gain the following in loot and in nagging. Posts incoming.
21:11 <Skaya> "Let's... let's see if there is an inn here where we're allowed to rest?" Skaya proposes, not relishing the trek back or further exploration.
21:12 <•Kotono> OOC: Posts.
21:13 <Devar> Devar has ways of restoring his fatigue, but given where they are, Skaya's idea sounds better. "Yes, I agree." He says with a nod. "After a hard... however long it was."
21:15 <•Kotono> Anne clutches her holy symbol, and in moments her visible bags under her eyes and stooped posture rights itself. "What a strange experience. Fear not, I'll help any who lack the strength to go back on their own."
21:16 <•Kotono> Rina sinks to her knees, yawning hugely.
21:16 <•Kotono> Sanda slumps down next to the treasure, "So shiny," she whispers, "Look at what we dug up." She takes a gold bar, running a finger along it.
21:16 <•Kotono> Milla looks tired, but simply says, "We need to rest, you're right."
21:18 <Skaya> "And after resting, let's experience the other echoes of the past. Smithing, brewing and the rest."
21:24 <•Kotono> There's nods all around to that. The party goes out and...OOC: PErception, both of you.
21:25 <Devar> OOC: Take 10 for 22! No 1's for me, thanks!
21:25 <Skaya> OOC: 10 for 30
21:29 <•Kotono> More asleep than awake, the party stumbles on a building with a plaque. Sure enough, it's a simple, communal inn. More like barracks, but there's beds here. Sanda slumps into one without a word, not even changing, and Rina's right behind her. Anne simply says, "Rest, I'll keep vigil."
21:29 <•Kotono> Petrove grunts and gets a bed, "Change and wash later," he says, closing his eyes.
21:29 — Skaya seeks out a place to wash up first. She can manage that much, with a proper place to rest found.
21:30 <Devar> "It's odd to be fatigued after our other gift." Devar says with a yawn. "Get me if anything happens, Anne." He says as he goes to lay down.
21:33 <•Kotono> roll 1d100
21:33 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d100 --> [ 1d100=62 ]{62}
21:36 <•Kotono> Liza sits on a bed, sitting up but eyes closed. At trance, perhaps. Like this a rest passes for the party. OOC: More. Devar in here, Skaya in #evil.

[Corwin]

21:39 <•Kotono> Skaya sleeps deep. She dimly remembers incoherent dreams. She only awakens slowly, and has to blink sunlight out of her eyes. That doesn't feel right, but it's bright. Morning sun bright.
21:40 — Skaya stretches as she wakes up, careful not to hit anyone who might be nearby. Then, covering her eyes from direct sunlight, she looks about.
21:44 <•Kotono> Sunlight. Skaya rises from a grassy hill near a road. It feels and looks like autumn out here, the bright morning sunshine taking the edge off the cool morning. Trees full of changing colors are about, everything pretty in that way only about a week of autumn usually is.
21:45 <Skaya> "Surely you're not jealous that I visited Moradin's memorial?" Skaya says with a silly grin, starting to head down the road after a few stretches to warm up.
21:53 <•Kotono> You walk. It looks like a long path, but hm? You crest a hill and you see. Ahead lies winter. A long winter, cold and bitter. The people are emanciated, starved and desperate. Snow choked winds scream, and all looks frozen.
21:54 <Skaya> "Even though we've alerted all the nations we had contact with? Even though there should be no wars in the meantime? Even though we've been stockpiling food for the winter?" Skaya asks in dismay, staring at the people.
22:04 <•Kotono> The people are desperate. On the horizon you see the winds blow the snow harder, only a few figures standing against it in the far distance. They stand against it and struggle as the dying people fade away, fighting.
22:05 — Skaya approaches the people facing off against the winter. Would she see herself? Or someone she hadn't met yet?
22:08 <•Kotono> Skaya approaches and sees things...next time!

[Corwin]

21:37 <•Kotono> It's natural to sleep after that, new nature or not. When Devar awakens, he finds himself refreshed. His body is restless as he rises. All around him, everyone else is still asleep. However, there's no sign of Anne.
21:38 <Devar> Hm. She's probably fine, but it'd be best to at least go look for her, so he carefully gets up and goes to head out!
21:40 <•Kotono> Devar heads out. It take sa bit of searching, but she finds Anne at the statues in the town square. She kneels there, weapon and shield laid down as she is deep in prayer. Her hands are together, focus entirely inward on first glance.
21:41 <Devar> There's no reason to bother her, so he will take up a spot nearby and pray too. Eldath may have not been as active as Moore and the other gods during the Final Days, but he knows the peace she desired was fought and bled for by other faiths as well.
21:52 <•Kotono> This is peaceful. Nothing disturbs you and the quiet stillness of the village envelopes you. You feel your concerns fade away as you work, leaving behind only a sense of rightness.
21:53 <Devar> Skaya was likely right - that's what the purpose of this place is, to be a living memorial. He will simply continue praying until Anne finishes or something else catches his interest.
21:56 <•Kotono> There's a sense of peaceful amusement, gentle. It's like waters washing over you.
21:58 <Devar> Is this Her way of getting him to look around? He pulls himself up to his feet and then takes to the air.
22:03 <•Kotono> You don't see anything awry, but instead feel a sense of being loved and protected.
22:05 <Devar> Perhaps he can just rest then, and not worry about anything else for right this second. He decides to keep Anne company but just rest his body and mind, leaning back against some nearby structure.
22:08 <•Kotono> Thus Devar rests and enjoys those feelings until Anne says something...next time!

[Corwin]

19:11 <•Kotono> Anne doesn't speak for some time, but she finally rises. She stretches slowly and murmurs out loud, carrying in the quiet, "Rest well." she concludes. Another stretch, "They should be awake by now, or close to it."
19:13 <Devar> "It certainly seems like a peaceful place that's welcoming us." Devar says as he moves to stand up. "I imagine Moridin has hoped people would come here again for a while."
19:22 <•Kotono> "Ah!" Anne visibly startles, a hop up into the air. She flutters like a surprised bird, whirling on you. "D-Devar. Ah, you're awake."
19:25 <Devar> "I've been up for a bit. Didn't want to interrupt." He gestures around. "Not sure if you had any guidance, but I just got a sense of peacefulness here."
19:27 <•Kotono> "I didn't, but it is the respectful thing to do. We're guests here," Anne lands once more, "Are you well recovered?"
19:28 <Devar> He nods. "As far as I can tell anyway." He says.
19:32 <•Kotono> "Then let's return to the others," Anne floats off back in the way she came, "I did look around a little more, and it's as we suspect. Monuments mostly, rememberances. All to spite a dead woman. One has to wonder how horrible she was to inspire such things."
19:34 <Devar> "I don't think anyone has to wonder. I do feel... bad? I guess? I mean it's easy to hope, it's more tragic to feel despair... but those things have to go hand in hand, don't they?" Devar asks as they go along. "I hope whoever governs loss and despair nowadays isn't quite as heavy handed."
19:39 <•Kotono> "Just so," Anne says as you fly back. By the time you arrive, you see Sanda's up. She's sitting blearily on the side of her bed, more asleep than awake.
19:39 <•Kotono> "Good morning," Anne says, voice full of bright cheer. "Isn't it a lovely day?"
19:40 <•Kotono> Sanda slowly turns and looks with sleep crusted eyes at Anne, then blankly turns back and her head drops down, eyes closed.
19:41 <•Kotono> Liza stirs at that, her trance breaking. She opens her eyes and rises, murmuring polite greetings and heading off to cleanse herself.
19:41 <Devar> "Rough night?" Devar asks. "If you're still feeling lousy lay back down."
19:48 <•Kotono> Sanda flops back with a soft whooomp of displaced air, then rolls onto her stomach. In moments she begins to softly snore. "Well, I shalln't begrudge her more sleep and peace," Anne murmurs, as meanwhile Milla sits up. She stretches long and slowly, "That was a good rest."
19:49 <Devar> Devar nods. "Hopefully it'll be a quiet trip."

[Corwin]

19:12 <•Kotono> The figures are indistinct, hazy. One of them looks like you, you realize, fighting with all the rest.
19:13 <Skaya> The process of elimination, then! Skaya goes through her friends. Devar, Anne, Sanda, Rina, Milla, Liza. Can she recognize all of them?
19:21 <•Kotono> It's hazy, flickery. Glimpses of them you think, but other possibilities as well. Starre? Picke? Her Majesty? Other faces are seen. You have a sudden feeling a journey lies ahead of you, or at least it may. Many roads spread out, and not all go towards that winter. Some go in far different directions, to realms that look nothing like Laremy.
19:22 — Skaya picks a road not leading to Laremy and starts walking again.
19:25 <•Kotono> You find a ship and exotic vistas. A familiar ship, full of faces familiar and otherwise. "A journey is a journey," A familiar man's voice says as he settles in to walk next to you. "There's nothing wrong with going on one, and you aren't bound with a chain to Laremy."
19:29 <Skaya> "That's true," Skaya agrees. "I want to help, and it's not like I'm in any rush. I won't really grow old. But does it mean that unless I go all in with this Auril mess, nothing I do will matter to the people here? They're doomed to all that death and suffering?"
19:34 <•Kotono> "Of course not. Few roads are immutable," he agrees as he walks with you, unbothered. "Messages like this are warnings, not certainties."
19:35 <Skaya> "Is it just Laremy? We tried to warn all the neighbors, so what state would they be in?"
19:41 <•Kotono> "Some better, some worse," Is the answer, "Laremy has gotten the lion's share of the attention. Predators often go after the sickest of the pack, or the one already surrounded."
19:44 <Skaya> "There is a twisted sort of logic there," Skaya admits, before asking, "What about my curse? It's fine when it's all fun and games, but less so if I'm going to be fighting Auril's guys to the death. Can I even protect people if I could just go to the bathroom and end up on another plane?"
19:49 <•Kotono> "That is a problem. To keep it or not is your choice," That's the answer you get, "Now, you have another path to walk."
19:53 <Skaya> "Is it really a choice, though? It seems like a choice of 'you can be true to yourself and endure hardship to save people, or you can just ignore them and let them die horribly'," Skaya voices, glancing at him. "Can you call that a true choice?"
19:59 <•Kotono> "Many have," He answers with patience, "That it's not a real choice for you says much about you. For now though, you have another path to walk." A new path before you, one that - ah! OOC: More, #dunes.

[Corwin]

19:59 <•Kotono> "I hope it will, too," Anne says as suddenly Skaya awakens, the veil of sleep giving way to reality once more.
20:00 <Skaya> "Morning," Skaya greets everyone, stretching slowly.
20:04 <Devar> "Have any divine revelations?" Devar asks. "All I've had is a sense of peacefulness and that sort of thing."
20:04 <•Kotono> "As did I," Anne concurs, "I feel lovely from it, though."
20:05 <Devar> He nods in agreement. "I definitely get the sense that we're welcomed here."
20:05 <Skaya> "I had the opposite. Apparently Auril is playing for keeps and decided to focus on Laremy."
20:07 <Devar> He frowns a bit at that. "Yeah, I had a bit of a similar situation when I was talking with Picke." Devar says. "The good news is I can make, uh... well I can basically create as much water as we need in the future."
20:07 <•Kotono> "Troubling," Anne answers, "And how did you manage that?"
20:08 <Skaya> "It's not just the food, too. People will get frozen to death in amounts that really suggest active intervention by her agents, not just weather."
20:09 <Devar> "They found the last piece," he says, taking the amulet to show Anne. "Apparently all of them together let me just make water forever." He turns to Skaya, "Well Rina will hate that for sure."
20:10 <•Kotono> "Water? Interesting." Anne examines th eamulet, "Congratulations." Then to Skaya, "Then we'll have battles this winter. Should her champions try, they will be defeated."
20:12 <Devar> "I'd honestly love it if her champions just walked up to hurl blizzards at the city, but I'm sure it won't be that easy."
20:21 <•Kotono> "A hunt could be fun," MIlla says, "Everyone, rise. We have things to do." HEr voice is loud and others stir - except for Sanda, whos tays face down.
20:22 <Skaya> "Are we sticking with the original plan? Experiencing the professions depicted on the entrance? If it happens again, like with the mine, that might confirm it's the expected way to visit the memorial."
20:24 <Devar> Devar nods. "I'd like to."
20:25 <•Kotono> "I don't see why not," Anne agrees, no real arguments to that. OOC: Okay, how are y'all gonna do this?
20:27 <Skaya> OOC: Let's find a smithy and try to use it!
20:31 <•Kotono> It's not too hard to find a smithy. There's several to choose from, and soon enough you stand before one. Another big building, the door unlocked if you care to go in. Inside, you see an entire setup for a forge, the fire in it still lit despite everything. Warmth fills the room, something that makes Rina perk up, "I like that." she goes right to the forge, sticking her hand into the flames. 
20:31 <•Kotono> "The fire's strong, too."
20:31 <Skaya> "That's a bit unconventional," Skaya says with a long look at Rina, before searching for a hammer. At least she understands this sort of work a bit more.
20:33 <Devar> Devar summons Storm's Eye. "You can want to see if we can make some divine improvement here?" He asks, looking over the forge. "I can't say I've any experience, but this place seems special."
20:37 <•Kotono> There's lots of tools there like hammers, tongs, gloves and similar. Meanwhile, Storm's Eye crackles with lightning before, "Why not? I bet Rina's embrace in the flames owuld be red hot!"
20:38 <•Kotono> Rina doesn't even look back, "Too bad it's Devar only for you," she says, "Anyway Skaya, it's about understanding the fire."
20:38 <Devar> "Don't blame me if you get melted down." He says with a sigh.
20:39 — Skaya turns away from Devar with a cringe. "Right, right," she tells Rina. "I've studied how to make golems, but the thing I realized after is just how expensive it is to actually bring them to life. And without that, isn't it just making iron dolls? I want to try my hand at blacksmithing instead!"
20:42 <•Kotono> "Then let's try this," Rina agrees, as...OOC: Okay more, sec.
20:45 <•Kotono> OOC: d100 all. If you have ranks in a related profession or other skill that you feel is topical to smithing, +5 bonus (ask first). If you have the fire subtype, +10 bonus. If you have a skill that's 100% relevant, such as craft (blacksmithing), say so and you'll get a supplementary roll as well.
20:46 <Skaya> OOC: All I have is craft traps and craft golems
20:48 <Devar> Roll 1d100 not a blacksmith
20:48 <Kobot> Devar rolled 1d100 not a blacksmith --> [ 1d100=5 ]{5}
20:48 <•Kotono> OOC: That's not quite relevant dead on, but enough to get a +5 bonus.
20:49 <•Kotono> roll 1d100 Sanda
20:49 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d100 Sanda --> [ 1d100=40 ]{40}
20:49 <•Kotono> roll 1d100 Anne
20:49 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d100 Anne --> [ 1d100=21 ]{21}
20:49 <Skaya> roll 1d100+5
20:49 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d100+5 --> [ 1d100=75 ]{80}
20:49 <•Kotono> roll 1d100+10 Rina
20:49 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d100+10 Rina --> [ 1d100=58 ]{68}
20:49 <•Kotono> roll 1d100 Liza
20:49 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d100 Liza --> [ 1d100=42 ]{42}
20:50 <•Kotono> roll 1d100 Milla
20:50 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d100 Milla --> [ 1d100=48 ]{48}
20:50 <Skaya> OOC: Petrove?
20:51 <•Kotono> roll 1d100+10 Petrove was half a sec
20:51 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d100+10 Petrove was half a sec --> [ 1d100=67 ]{77}
20:51 <•Kotono> Crafting. Forging. Efforts. Time passes as you all work, but in the end? All of you stand there when it's done, nothing worthwhile made. All that persists is a sense of exhaustion and dim memories that don't quite help you at all. OOC: Party completely whiffed on that one, rough. Everyone's exhausted again.
20:52 <•Kotono> Anne reaches out for her holy symbol and her fatigue seems to melt away. "I have another if someone wants it," she announces, then, "Unfortunate."
20:52 <•Kotono> Petrove yawns heartily, "It seems we were not blessed in this endevour."
20:52 <•Kotono> "Obviously," Sanda adds scathingly. She yawns as well and looks hopefully to Anne.
20:53 <Skaya> "Let's try brewing something after a bit of rest?"
20:53 <Devar> "It was worth a shot." Devar says with a tired shrug.
20:59 <•Kotono> OOC: Going to rest and try again, then?
21:00 <Skaya> OOC: Yes
21:02 <•Kotono> This time the party tries a brewery. You find one, all full of big barrels and kegs. Lots to work with here as you all step in, "Worth trying," SAnda agrees, "If we succeed, we'll get something nice."
21:02 <•Kotono> "At the least, the price of failure is low," Anne concurs.
21:02 <•Kotono> Liza lingers close to Skaya, "I have some ideas for this."
21:03 <Skaya> "Oh?"
21:05 <•Kotono> "I can do lovely things with berries and apples," Liza leans in, "I bet you'll love the taste of it."
21:05 <Skaya> "How can I help?"
21:05 <Devar> "I never drank much even before everything, so we'll see what happens." Devar says with a smile.
21:18 <•Kotono> "Well, I'll show you," Liza says, as...OOC: More.
21:19 <•Kotono> OOC: d100 all. If you have ranks in a related profession or skill that's topical to smithing, +5 bonus (ask f irst). If you have the water subtype, +10 bonus. If you have a skill that's 100% relevant, such as profession (brewer), say so and you'll get a supplementary roll as well.
21:20 <Devar> Roll 1d100 Devar is not skilled at everything like a certain bard was
21:20 <Kobot> Devar rolled 1d100 Devar is not skilled at everything like a certain bard was --> [ 1d100=95 ]{95}
21:21 <Skaya> roll 1d100
21:21 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d100 --> [ 1d100=72 ]{72}
21:21 <•Kotono> OOC: Give me a second roll, Devar.
21:21 <•Kotono> roll 1d100+10 Sanda yes she has the water subtype
21:21 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d100+10 Sanda yes she has the water subtype --> [ 1d100=64 ]{74}
21:21 <•Kotono> roll 1d100 Anne
21:21 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d100 Anne --> [ 1d100=35 ]{35}
21:22 <•Kotono> roll 1d100 Rina
21:22 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d100 Rina --> [ 1d100=19 ]{19}
21:26 <Skaya> OOC: Devar, second roll?
21:26 <Devar> OOC oops
21:26 <Devar> Roll 1d100
21:26 <Kobot> Devar rolled 1d100 --> [ 1d100=1 ]{1}
21:29 ↔ Devar nipped out 
21:30 <•Kotono> You work, work and work. Eventually Devar come son something - a barrel of something that ages in no time and over months, and when it ends? The party lies there, exhausted once more. In front of them sits a large wooden cask, the fruits of Devar's labors. OOC: Nagging Neph.
21:31 <Skaya> OOC: Shouldn't the others roll as well?
21:33 <•Kotono> OOC: Oh, I awayed a few and that ruind my train of thought. Thank you, I had a severe stupid.
21:33 <Devar> "...Well, I don't know how good it is, but it's probably at least worth drinking?" He offers. "We can enjoy it together while we..." he yawns. "Rest."
21:33 <•Kotono> OOC: Devar still gets the above, but hold on a sec for possibly more.
21:33 <•Kotono> roll 1d100+5 Liz
21:33 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d100+5 Liz --> [ 1d100=63 ]{68}
21:33 <•Kotono> roll 1d100+5 Petrove
21:33 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d100+5 Petrove --> [ 1d100=32 ]{37}
21:33 <•Kotono> roll 1d100 Milla
21:33 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d100 Milla --> [ 1d100=30 ]{30}
21:33 <•Kotono> OOC: Carry on, no luck with the dice.
21:34 <•Kotono> "This is turning time consuming," Milla mentions, as Anne refreshes herself, then does the same to Milla. "I won't stop all of you from going further, but I've been away too long as it is."
21:35 <Skaya> "Says the woman who wanted to stay here and take a look even if we left?"
21:36 <•Kotono> "I didn't think it would run this long," Milla retorts, "I would prefer to stay here, but..." she shakes her head, "FAther left me too much to do."
21:36 <•Kotono> Liza mopes in the meantime, arms crossed. "I swore I remembered how," she murmurs, sounding downcast.
21:36 — Skaya laughs. "That's fine. But think about it differently. If things take a bad turn, this might be the best refuge for Mellanics. I think the guardian will let them in for shelter. So shouldn't we explore properly?"
21:37 — Skaya then sidles up to Liza and nudges her, regardless of tiredness. "Don't worry, it just means we get to try again and again. It doesn't have to be here."
21:39 <Devar> "There's nothing that says you can't try again." Devar offers towards the brewery. "I mean, maybe that's the point, you just keep trying at this stuff until you succeed?"
21:42 <•Kotono> "That's what I have all of you for," Milla sm iles a little at Skaya, "I expect a report when you're done."
21:43 <•Kotono> "Practice makes perfect," Anne agrees, "We can try at leisure, though we have spent some time down here. Do we wish to explore further in?"
21:43 <•Kotono> Liza nudges Skaya back, "Y-yes, of course!"
21:43 <Skaya> "I think we should, after some rest."
21:52 <•Kotono> With that and no other arguments, the party rests. This goes well enough, and soon enough? The party proceeds down one of the paths further in. Here all of you walk a time, until you come to a smaller cavern. Several paths connect to it, but here sits a single cathedral of stone. The doors are open if you wish to explore within, a large building able to hold hundreds with ease.
21:52 — Skaya wishes to explore within!
22:01 <•Kotono> The party follows. Anne floats along as she says, "Interesting. To the dwarven pantheon?"
22:01 <•Kotono> "It's likely," Petrove grunts as he follows, "It's either buildings like this or open caverns consecrated to them.
22:01 <•Kotono> "
22:02 <•Kotono> "So big and something to show you can build, too?" Rina comments as she takes it in, the scale large. Far and away larger than it needs to be for dwarves.
22:02 <•Kotono> "Moradin made the mountains of the world," Petrove says solemnly, "Something small can forge things beyond measure."
22:03 <•Kotono> "One person, however small, can make all the difference at the right place," Anne reflects, "A lesson I teach my charges."
22:03 <•Kotono> "A call for responsibility? Sounds right," Rina says, "Orphans need to apply themselves after all."

21:15 <Skaya> OOC: AC is back to 31 due to haste
21:16 <•Kotono> The armored dwarf doesn't yield easily. He takes those blows stoically, battered and struck, the sound of metal hit hard. He stays up despite the abuse, that not enough to put him down. Meanwhile the lizard on Skaya predictably keeps on trying to turn her into Skaya flavored meat confetti, while the one on Devar lets out a screetch at the light, but attacks nonetheless.

21:22 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+7 will doesn't matter for this attack strong either way, since only the crit hit anyway --> [ 1d20=7 ]{14}

21:22 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d8+4 claw --> [ 1d8=3 ]{7}

21:24 <•Kotono> Skaya? Ravaged. Torn open. The lizard manages to pierce her guard again and again. Her side is bitten deep, her leg slashed. She feels pain war with the faintness from the poison, all as the dwarf steps away, holding his chest as...
21:24 <•Kotono> roll 3d8+9 healing
21:24 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 3d8+9 healing --> [ 3d8=10 ]{19}
21:24 <•Kotono> OOC: Go Devar, happens at the same time.
21:25 <Devar> Devar takes another step backwards and flies over to land next to Skaya, quickly chanting and putting a hand on her. OOC: Skaya gains +8 AC from Luminous Armor, and anyone trying to melee her will have a -4 to hit.
21:26 <Devar> "I'll cover you!" Devar calls out, readying Goldenfang for another onslaught from the lizards, taking a defensive posture. OOC: Total defense, +4 dodge to AC for himself, and because of a feature, to Skaya too until next round as long as she stays next to me.
21:27 <•Kotono> OOC: Did you 5ft step and then move?
21:29 <Devar> OOC: Oh, I see, the 5ft is only part of something else, huh. Okay, then scratch the total defense, I'll use a standard as a move action, take the 5ft before it, move to Skaya, and do Luminous Armor as a swift.
21:29 <•Kotono> OOC: You can't take a 5ft step if you make another type of movement. From the SRD:
21:29 <•Kotono> You can move 5 feet in any round when you don't perform any other kind of movement.
21:30 <Skaya> OOC: You can take the dazzled dog lizard
21:30 <Skaya> OOC: Just tank the AoO
21:31 <Devar> OOC: Fair enough - that's fine I'll just take the AoO instead and do all the stuff listed originally.
21:32 <•Kotono> roll 1d20+20 AoO times
21:32 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+20 AoO times --> [ 1d20=17 ]{37}
21:32 <•Kotono> OOC: AC?
21:32 <•Kotono> OOC: Should be 34, forgot te -3.
21:34 <Devar> OOC: 35! thankfully.
21:36 <•Kotono> Devar dashes over, narrowly avoiding another claw at his flank. He flies over and lands next to Skaya, shielding her as light protects her. It buys her time and extra protection, as...OOC: Rina.
21:36 <•Kotono> Glances at Devar and Skaya, before, "Come over here, lizard," she snaps, dashing past the lizard that gave Devar so much grief, slashing away at it again.
21:36 <•Kotono> roll 1d20+18
21:36 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+18 --> [ 1d20=11 ]{29}
21:37 <•Kotono> roll 1d6+3+1d6+3d6
21:37 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d6+3+1d6+3d6 --> [ 1d6=1 1d6=1 3d6=12 ]{17}
21:37 <•Kotono> Her blade rips a wound in its tail, ice forming int he aftermath of the slash. It's a solid hit, as then...OOC: Skaya.
21:37 <•Kotono> Init is Rina (34) > Skaya (Poisoned)(23) > Lizard 2 (Dazzled) (16) > Lizard 1 (14) >  Devar (Poisoned) = Dwarf (10)
21:38 <Skaya> No longer understanding what's happening anymore, Skaya flies a bit higher and out of immediate reach of the lizard. It can jump and try to catch her for all she cares! Then, she takes out her trusty wand. If the dwarf wants to stand there and heal, she will fly there and cast!
21:38 <Skaya> roll 2d4+2+5 MM, I'm 10ft up
21:38 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 2d4+2+5 MM, I'm 10ft up --> [ 2d4=3 ]{10}
21:42 <•Kotono> Magic missles pelt the dwarf as Skaya retreats up and further out of reach. Those get low grunts from him but little else, the armored figure enduring. The bonus burns worse as the dazzled lizard takes the bait and charges Rina, going to rip her to bits. At the same time, the lizard by Skaya and  Devar lets out its own angry noises, before turning and assailing Devar head on.
21:42 <•Kotono> roll 1d20+22 claw (+2 charge, +1 ???, +4 ???) Rina
21:42 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+22 claw (+2 charge, +1 ???, +4 ???) Rina --> [ 1d20=7 ]{29}

21:42 <•Kotono> roll 1d20+22 bite (+2 charge, +1 ???, +4 ???) Rina
21:42 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+22 bite (+2 charge, +1 ???, +4 ???) Rina --> [ 1d20=18 ]{40}

21:49 <•Kotono> Rina is bitten, clawed. Her front and sides get ravaged as she tries to defend, but slows more and more. She looks weaker, unsteady on her feet from the assault as meanwhile Devar gets attacked and...
21:49 <•Kotono> roll 1d20+20 (+1 ???, +4 ???) claw Devar time
21:49 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+20 (+1 ???, +4 ???) claw Devar time --> [ 1d20=9 ]{29}

21:50 <•Kotono> roll 1d20+7 will
21:50 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+7 will --> [ 1d20=14 ]{21}
21:52 <•Kotono> The lizard claws and bites in vain, dazzled like the other from the failed onslaught. It buys them more time, more time as...OOC: Dwarf and Devar. Go.
21:53 <Devar> OOC: I can hit a lizard and the dwarf with a line lightning bolt I assume - I'm guessing Rina is too tied up to hit all three of them and not hit her
21:53 <Devar> OOC: It's a 120 foot line
21:56 <•Kotono> OOC: You could hit the two, sure. Not Rina's, though.
21:57 <Devar> OOC: Okay.
21:58 <Devar> Devar flies up slightly himself, curious what the dazzled lizards will do at this point as he unleashes a bolt of lightning across the battlefield! Time to turn the tides!
21:59 <Devar> OOC: DC 19 reflex, I think? DC is 10+mod, right?
21:59 <Devar> roll 8d6 bzzzzt
21:59 <Kobot> Devar rolled 8d6 bzzzzt --> [ 8d6=26 ]{26}
22:00 <Devar> OOC: If it includes the spell level then 22
22:05 <•Kotono> OOC: Is it an SLA or does it say?
22:05 <•Kotono> OOC: Or does it just provide a flat save DC?
22:05 <Devar> OOC: It is an SLA
22:05 <•Kotono> OOC: 10 + 1/2 hit dice + cha mod.
22:06 <Devar> OOC: Oh, whoops, in that case it is 23
22:06 <•Kotono> roll 1d20+8 ref dwarf
22:06 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+8 ref dwarf --> [ 1d20=18 ]{26}
22:06 <•Kotono> roll 1d20+11 lizard
22:06 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+11 lizard --> [ 1d20=15 ]{26}
22:10 <•Kotono> The lightning bolt flies, a flash of white that soars across the battlefield. Both are struck, but both grazing blows. Sparks still go up from each contact, a solid enough blow to stagger the dwarf, as at the same time he points at Devar, this time a stone spike rising up from under him.
22:10 <•Kotono> roll 1d20+17 AC Devar?
22:10 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+17 AC Devar? --> [ 1d20=3 ]{20}
22:10 <•Kotono> Yet Devar rolls out of the way, kicking up sand as he dodges the quick attack. This allows Rina to...OOC: Rina.
22:11 <•Kotono> OOC: She'll hold a second pending Skaya here, since what she does and ohw that influences things matters a lot to her action.
22:12 <Skaya> "Go ahead and stab this guy, I'll pick you up into the sky afterwards!" Skaya encourages Rina when she sees her hesitate.
22:16 <•Kotono> Rina, bleeding and still up, settles in to trade blows and hopefully not die.
22:16 <•Kotono> roll 1d20+16
22:16 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+16 --> [ 1d20=20 ]{36}

22:17 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d6+3 --> [ 1d6=6 ]{9}
22:17 <•Kotono> roll 1d6+3
22:17 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d6+3 --> [ 1d6=6 ]{9}
22:17 <•Kotono> roll 1d6 repeating frost damage
22:17 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d6 repeating frost damage --> [ 1d6=2 ]{2}
22:18 <•Kotono> OOC: Forgot the -4 from poison. That makes the crit a non crit, but doesn't change any hits.
22:18 <•Kotono> roll 1d6+3 now non crit
22:18 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d6+3 now non crit --> [ 1d6=2 ]{5}
22:19 <Skaya> OOC: That +3d6+1d6 bit only happens on crits?
22:19 <•Kotono> OOC: Need to reroll the entire string due ot -str.
22:19 <•Kotono> OOC: Yes, due to telling blow.
22:19 <•Kotono> OOC: Frost should though, I must messed that entire string up.
22:19 <•Kotono> OOC: End of session dead brain.
22:19 <Skaya> OOC: Can't you reduce str? It's not part of the roll, it's just flat bonus.
22:20 <•Kotono> OOC: I don't follow.
22:20 <Skaya> OOC: Like if she rolled 1d6+3 for 9, and it should be -4 due to str damage, then just do 9-4?
22:21 <•Kotono> OOC: I also dropped the frost damage, so I'm going to rule the entire thing's munged enough to reroll it.
22:21 <•Kotono> roll 1d6+1d6-1
22:21 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d6+1d6-1 --> [ 1d6=6 1d6=4 ]{9}
22:21 <•Kotono> roll 1d6+1d6-1

22:21 <•Kotono> roll 1d6+1d6-1
22:21 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d6+1d6-1 --> [ 1d6=2 1d6=1 ]{2}
22:22 <•Kotono> Rina trades blows with it, slower, staggering. She's hurting and bleeding, slashing away. Nothing serious, the wounds shallow but crackling with frost that lingers as...OOC: Go Skaya.
22:22 <Skaya> OOC: She did stab the dwarf, right?
22:23 <•Kotono> OOC: No, the lizard she's off to the side fighting, that Devar was previously engaged with. It's why she's full attacking.
22:23 — Skaya flies over to pick Rina up and escape into the skies! The vast skies! She's plenty acrobatic for that, even with a bit of poison.
22:23 <•Kotono> OOC: I wanted to finish this this session, but I'm tired and it's past our time even with a late start, so more next time.

19:03 <Kotono> Skaya lifts Rina up and escapes, out of range of the deadly lizards. In return, despite being dazzled, the two lizards now only have one target - Devar. One stays close and the other charges in, and dazzled or not, the two converge on him to rip him apart.

19:06 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d6+4 claw --> [ 1d6=4 ]{8}
19:08 <Kotono> Surrounded by both, Devar dodges as best he can. Swipes and slashes mostly miss him as he weaves around them, save for a nasty gash on his outer leg. It's not serious but it hurts, as then...OOC: Go Devar, you and dwarf.
19:08 <Kotono> "Got a plan," Rina asks Skaya, voice pained.
19:09 — Skaya glances between Rina and Devar, before patting her head. "It's just pain, it'll pass," she responds, having already readjusted to the feeling of fresh wounds as only someone used to healing them quickly before gaining new ones would. "We'll take out the dwarf, then deal with the lizards. There really is no need for a special plan aside from brute force."
19:11 <Devar> Devar, seeing an opportunity, decides to just fly up to join Skaya and Rina. OOC: I'll eat any AoOs they might have for doing that.
19:12 <Kotono> roll 1d20+19 they both get flanking now at least

19:15 <•Kotono> Devar takes to the air, claws raking at his legs. Not serious wounds again, but more blood is drawn as he takes to the air. At the same time the dwarf gestures and points, as four large stones, about as big as your heads, rise up behind him and hurtle at Skaya and Rina.
19:15 <•Kotono> roll 2#1d20+17 vs Skaya
19:15 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 2#1d20+17 vs Skaya --> [ 1d20=12 ]{29}, [ 1d20=14 ]{31}

19:16 <Skaya> OOC: 36
19:16 <Devar> OOC: I'm gonna blast him!
19:16 <Devar> Away from the lizards and in the air, Devar gestures and sends another bolt of lightning at the dwarf!
19:16 <Skaya> OOC: Standard 31, 30 now due to dex damage, +6 from Devar's spell (only +6 since it's not melee)
19:16 <•Kotono> OOC: Were you not done with yur turn, Devar? And noted, Skaya.
19:17 <Devar> OOC: Yeah sorry, I was flying up to then cast a spell

19:21 <•Kotono> Rocks and lightning fly. The dwarf is struck and sparks fly up from his armor, while at the same time Skay amanages to swoop and dodge her rocks. Rina isn't so capable, slowed and still in your grasp. She's pelted twice, one hitting her right in the face to crack her nose good. She reels from it, before...OOC: Rina's holding pending whatever Skaya does. Go Skaya.
19:22 <Skaya> "Can you hold onto Rina, Devar?" Skaya asks, sending another pair of magic missiles at the dwarf while pursing her lips. "And possibly stop my bleeding a bit? If that's the best you have left for ranged attacks, I might as well drop back down to fight him."
19:22 <Skaya> roll 2d4+2+5
19:22 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 2d4+2+5 --> [ 2d4=7 ]{14}
19:23 <Devar> "Yeah, I can play Anne's role for a bit." Devar says.
19:24 <•Kotono> Magic missiles strike the dwarf as the two of fly, Rina more bleeding and dazed than coherent. The dwarf lets out a loud gasp of pain, hit again. While that happens, Rina holds, knowing for the moment she's out of the fight. OOC: Rina holds. Lizards can't do anything but hop around futilely. Devar and dwarf, go.
19:25 <Devar> Devar will fly over and help to carry Rina instead, channeling healing into Rina and Skaya.
19:25 <Devar> roll 3d6 channel energy shouldn't hit the lizards or dwarf
19:25 <Kobot> Devar rolled 3d6 channel energy shouldn't hit the lizards or dwarf --> [ 3d6=8 ]{8}

19:28 <Devar> OOC: oh, i have a swift, so one more thing
19:29 <Devar> Devar also quickly gestures over Rina to hopefully protect her from further mauling. OOC: Mage Armor for Rina, +7 armor bonus to AC which I don't think she has any of so should get full benefit
19:29 <•Kotono> Healing soothes injured bodies, washing away some of their pain. The bleeding's mostly stopped at least, but the injuries are still there. As they do a midair exchange, the dwarf points, another volley of rocks fired at Skaya and Rina. OOC: She does not so AC++, but it won't apply to this since you're acting at the same time.
19:29 <•Kotono> roll 2#1d20+17 Skaya

19:31 <Skaya> "One more try, and then I'm back to hitting him," Skaya says, giving Rina a worried look. Yes, that's the last time Rina would participate in these trials.
19:31 <•Kotono> It's an ugly tradeoff and exchange. Rina is gotten as more rocks fly, Skay afree to dodge but Rina taking them dead on. Magic armor wraps around her, helping her even as she's struck again. One hits her collarbone, a loud CRACK suggesting more than just a bruise. "It's....It's not over yet," Rina gasps out blood, as...OOC: Rina holds, this was really not her fight. Skaya.
19:31 <Skaya> roll 2d4+2+5 MM on the dwarf again
19:31 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 2d4+2+5 MM on the dwarf again --> [ 2d4=4 ]{11}
19:32 <•Kotono> The dwarf's hit again. This time he stumbles to a knee, needing a moment to recover as his armored frame is struck. The lizards continue to run and leap around in vain as...OOC: Devar and dwarf, go.
19:33 <Devar> roll 2d4 lightning damage I didn't forget!!!
19:33 <Kobot> Devar rolled 2d4 lightning damage I didn't forget!!! --> [ 2d4=6 ]{6}
19:33 <Devar> Devar will again channel healing into Skaya and Rina, flying up slightly more to hopefully make less of an easy target for the dwarf after that.
19:33 <Devar> roll 3d6 channel energy
19:33 <Kobot> Devar rolled 3d6 channel energy --> [ 3d6=11 ]{11}

19:36 <•Kotono> Wounds heal as the dwarf is shockeda gain. He doesn't utter a sound but he's stumbling, staggered as he clutches himself once more.
19:36 <•Kotono> roll 2d8+9 healing
19:36 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 2d8+9 healing --> [ 2d8=11 ]{20}
19:37 <•Kotono> The dwarf is mended, healed in part as Devar does the same, both sides licking their wounds. Then...OOC: Skaya.
19:37 <Skaya> Is it a sunk cost fallacy? Is Skaya falling into one here? She decides to try and blast him again after all!
19:37 <Skaya> roll 2d4+2+5
19:37 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 2d4+2+5 --> [ 2d4=4 ]{11}
19:41 <•Kotono> The missiles hit. He's again staggered but doesn't go down, surely a result of his healing. As the lizards below make noise, the rest of you...OOC: Devar and dwarf, again.
19:41 <Devar> Devar again will heal his allies and let the lightning arrow do its continued work!
19:41 <Devar> roll 3d6 channel energy
19:41 <Kobot> Devar rolled 3d6 channel energy --> [ 3d6=10 ]{10}
19:41 <Devar> roll 2d4 zapzap
19:41 <Kobot> Devar rolled 2d4 zapzap --> [ 2d4=8 ]{8}
19:41 Skaya set the topic: Skaya: 57/100 (Sanda's bracers of +4CON, -2str, poisoned) Devar 85/113 (-3 str/dex) Anne 83/83 Sanda 60/60 Rina 35/85
19:42 <•Kotono> Wounds continue to mend as the dwarf is hit. At the same time he heals himself once more, a pained, wheezing gasp.
19:42 <•Kotono> roll 1d8+9
19:42 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d8+9 --> [ 1d8=6 ]{15}
19:43 <Skaya> OOC: Doesn't he need to pass concentration or something since he received 8 damage as he tried to heal?
19:43 <Devar> "How do memories even heal themselves?" Devar asks aloud, not expecting any answer.
19:43 <•Kotono> roll 1d20 I'll check the math if it's not a particularly high or low result
19:43 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20 I'll check the math if it's not a particularly high or low result --> [ 1d20=19 ]{19}
19:44 <•Kotono> OOC: Okay, can eyeball tell that passes the concentration DC without doing all the math.
19:44 <•Kotono> Devar indeed doesn't get an answer, but Rina chips in with, "Whatever it is, finish him off!" OOC: Skaya.
19:44 — Skaya descends with a kick! She can now act more freely, thanks to Devar's assist!
19:45 <Skaya> roll 1d20+12+1+7 inspiration
19:45 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+12+1+7 inspiration --> [ 1d20=10 ]{30}
19:45 <•Kotono> OOC: Hit.
19:45 <Skaya> roll 3d6+5+1d8
19:45 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 3d6+5+1d8 --> [ 3d6=3 1d8=8 ]{16}
19:46 <•Kotono> That blow is finally too much. A kick right to his head knocks the dwarf down and out. He goes down and stays down. IN return the two lizards let out baying howls of despair, shrinking down in side to little, cat sized menances, with claws no more dangerous than a cat's.
19:47 <Skaya> "We don't need to drag this out, do we?" Skaya voices.
19:47 <Devar> Devar lets out an audible sigh. "I thought the strength they had was unnatural..." He rubs at one of his arms while holding Rina.
19:49 <•Kotono> Rina lets out a groan as the two lizards retreat to the dwarf, and like that? You return. In an instant healing washes over all of you, Anne there in a moment.
19:49 <•Kotono> roll 4d6
19:49 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 4d6 --> [ 4d6=14 ]{14}

19:52 <Skaya> OOC: Are we still poisoned or has it run its course?
19:52 <•Kotono> OOC: It's run its course. More coming.
19:52 Skaya set the topic: Skaya: 78/100 (+6 AC, Sanda's bracers of +4CON, -7str/dex) Devar 85/113 (-3 str/dex) Anne 83/83 Sanda 60/60 Rina 56/85 (-18 str/dex)
19:53 <•Kotono> Slowly the light headedness leaves Devar. Skaya feels worse, her entire body weak and drained. Rina simply collapses, struggling to get up but unable. Anne is at her side, checking her, "Poison," she says, "Not a lethal one I believe, but your body is severely damaged." OOC: Anne takes 10 on Heal.
19:54 <Skaya> "The lizards were... very well trained."
19:54 <Devar> "I can help with the temporary damage, at least some of it." Devar says, withdrawing a small rod. "And tomorrow if we need more of it."
19:55 <Skaya> "Let's do it, then. We can still keep going!"
19:55 <•Kotono> Meanwhile, there's a clatter. Nearby a set of ten large beer steins appear. Each is made of pure gold on a glance, decorated with little inlaid bands of shiny black stone, making elaborate patterns. They sit atop a serving tray of polished silver, and what's more? Besides them is a large keg. "Your reward."
19:56 <•Kotono> Sanda shakes her head, "Are you sure you're up to it? Best to be careful, that fight was worse than the odds said."
19:56 <•Kotono> "Caution from Sanda?" Anne says briskly, "By all means, Devar."
19:57 <Devar> Devar taps Rina a few times with the rod. "You're probably not going to be able to move until later, but hopefully this helps." OOC: removing 8 points of STR and 4 points of DEX damage from her.
19:57 <•Kotono> Petrove checks out the treasure, "Remarkably good quality, this would be fit for a noble's table for high holidays."
19:57 <Skaya> "It's not like I'm delusional, it's just that suboptimal choices were made," Skaya says diplomatically. "This made the fight more difficult than it had any right to do, as we've seen once the summoner was defeated. Focusing on him fully would've allowed us to win in half the time, I believe."
19:58 •Kotono set the topic: Skaya: 78/100 (+6 AC, Sanda's bracers of +4CON, -7str/dex) Devar 85/113 (-3 str/dex) Anne 83/83 Sanda 60/60 Rina 56/85 (-10 str -14 dex dex)

19:58 <Devar> "I should've cast defensive spells before we even started." Devar says. "That's my fault."
19:59 <Skaya> "Are we allowed to prepare with such spells before the next bout?" Skaya inquires with the statue.
19:59 — Skaya heals herself in the meantime.
19:59 <Skaya> OOC: Channel for +23hp to myself
19:59 Skaya set the topic: Skaya: 100/100 (+6 AC, Sanda's bracers of +4CON, -7str/dex) Devar 85/113 (-3 str/dex) Anne 83/83 Sanda 60/60 Rina 56/85 (-10 str -14 dex)
20:00 <•Kotono> "You are. Your opponent was prepared," The statue states, simply.
20:01 <•Kotono> "Indeed, a harsh lesson learned," Anne concurs, "We can expect our enemies to be fully girded against us."
20:01 <Skaya> "Okay! Please tell me our choice of opponents."
20:01 <•Kotono> Meanwhile, Rina sits up slowly. She eyes the treasure, "At least that looks worth it."
20:02 <Skaya> OOC: I'll precast Enthropic Shield, False Life and GMW
20:02 <Skaya> roll 1d10+8

20:03 <•Kotono> The writing on the doors has changed. It now reads...
20:03 <•Kotono> Battle 2v2, versus Thorn Irons and Thistle Steel, the masters of sword and shield. Reward: A fine dwarven sword and shield.
20:03 <•Kotono> Battle 2v1, versus The Stonebard. Reward: Dwarven lyre, dwarven drums, dwarven cymbals.
20:03 <•Kotono> Battle 1v5, versus Deepdark Clan. Reward: A backpack full of precious ores.
20:04 <Skaya> "Can you please elaborate on the last one? One of us against five of... who?"
20:04 <•Kotono> "The Deepdark Clan, five siblings," Is the answer, plain. "All they know of you is your names, thus all you know of them is their names."
20:05 — Skaya scratches her head. "Right. Anne, any chance you can help me recover my strength?"
20:06 <•Kotono> "As you like, I have several of those prepared, though I'd like to use at least two of them on Rina," Anne comes over to you, "Your strength, you say?"
20:07 <Skaya> "And my agility. It seemed like a double pleasure sort of poison."
20:08 <•Kotono> "Lady Jetina, heal her wounds," Anne chants, as...OOC: Two lesser restorations, one on str and one on dex.
20:08 <•Kotono> roll 1d4 str recovery
20:08 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d4 str recovery --> [ 1d4=3 ]{3}
20:08 <•Kotono> roll 1d4 dex recovery

20:09 <•Kotono> The weakness leaves Skaya in part, though she still feels off her game. Anne then kneels before Rina, "Once again, I know you know them, and I ask once agan for your mercy," Anne requests.
20:09 <•Kotono> roll 1d4 str Rina
20:09 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d4 str Rina --> [ 1d4=1 ]{1}

20:11 <Devar> "We can just take some time to explore the other parts and come back to this when we've rested." Devar offers. "There's no rush, right?"
20:11 <Skaya> Handing a small pearl to Anne, Skaya requests, "Once more, help me regain my strength? Could make all the difference for me."
20:11 <Skaya> OOC: Pearl of Power lvl2
20:11 <•Kotono> "Very well," Anne agrees, "Once again, Lady Jetina."
20:11 <•Kotono> roll 1d4 str
20:11 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d4 str --> [ 1d4=4 ]{4}
20:11 <•Kotono> OOC: I somehow sense Jetina has her favorites amid the group, and it's not Rina.
20:12 — Skaya clenches her fists before relaxing them slowly. "Good. I want to challenge Thorn Irons and Thistle Steel. Who's with me?"

20:12 <•Kotono> "Devar, do you have another in you? If not, I sha-" Anne begins.
20:12 <•Kotono> "I will," Sanda pushes past Anne, "I want to try this."
20:13 <•Kotono> "Excuse you?" Anne stares in surprise, "That eager?"
20:15 <Skaya> "Well, it's fun," Skaya protests. "We're going all out but not killing anyone because it's just a memory. When else will you get such a good opportunity?"
20:15 <Devar> "It's definitely good training." Devar says. And he waves the Rod in the air pitifully. "Not until tomorrow."
20:20 <•Kotono> Rina makes a weak little noise at that, struggling to stand. She needs Anne's help, leaning heavily on her.
20:20 <•Kotono> "Well, today or tomorrow," Sanda says, "Whenever you're up for it, Skaya."
20:20 <Skaya> "I'm good. Let's go, Sanda!"
20:20 <•Kotono> Liza sniffs but doesn't comment, more distracted by the treasure. Admittedly, it is shiny treasure.
20:21 <Skaya> OOC: Please precast any defensive spells!
20:22 <Devar> OOC: You'll still have luminous armor for a while, I can give Sanda mage armor if it helps her
20:22 <Skaya> OOC: Sure, if she lacks it
20:34 <•Kotono> OOC: Bacj.
20:34 <Devar> OOC: Then Sanda gets mage armor, +7 armor bonus. Don't die!
20:35 <•Kotono> OOC: +1 over her greater mage armor, but noted. Sanda will cast See Invisibility just before you go over so she has 7 rounds of it.
20:36 <•Kotono> OOC: Strik.e
20:36 <•Kotono> OOC: +1 over her greater mage armor, but noted. Sanda will cast See Invisibility, then Greater Invisibility just before you go over so she has 7 rounds of it.

20:37 <•Kotono> Thus it is cast, and then? OOC: More.
20:38 <•Kotono> While Devar and the rest appear in the stands, Skayan and an unseen Sanda appear. 30ft away are a pair of dwarves. Both are clad in heavy plate armor, have massive shields and large swords to go with it. They stand side by side, forming a defensive line as...OOC: INit. Good luck!

20:43 <•Kotono> Suddenly Thistle's head snaps back as his entire frame quakes with electricity, a gasp from him. The heavy THUD of wood on steel is heard. It's a heavy blow that seems to rattle him, as....OOC: Skaya, go.
20:43 — Skaya is already charging towards the dwarves when Sanda's attack lands, and then she's suddenly next to Thistle, unleashing a devastating attack!

20:48 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+18 fort --> [ 1d20=18 ]{36}
20:49 <•Kotono> Skaya's punch hits hard enough to send the reeling Thistle back even further, shield out of position from the one-two. The dwarf's been hit hard but isn't down, letting out a savage scream before rearing back with one big, overwhelming attack at Skaya.
20:50 <•Kotono> roll 1d20+17 (-4 PA, +2 ???, +1 ???)

20:50 <•Kotono> OOC: AC?
20:50 <Skaya> OOC: AC is 35, 39 vs melee
20:51 <•Kotono> Skaya's already gone, blurring past and around the sword swing. In revenge Thorn turns, before charging forward shield first, right into Skaya.
20:52 <•Kotono> roll 1d20+23 (+2 charge, +1 ???, +3 ???)
20:52 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+23 (+2 charge, +1 ???, +3 ???) --> [ 1d20=12 ]{35}
20:53 <Skaya> OOC: Miss, though he really can't charge me as I explicitly positioned myself on the other side with Thistle to break direct line, and he remained in melee with me
20:53 <•Kotono> The charge is heavy but not heavy enough. Skaya then takes off straight up, soaring above the charge and missing it by niches. Thorn goes barreling past, while...OOC: Okay either way, he'd move do to it but doesn't change the miss is a miss part.

20:54 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d12+8+5d6 flatfooted is pain here --> [ 1d12=1 5d6=17 ]{26}
20:54 <•Kotono> Another blow and another shock leaves Thistle down and out, collapsed and beaten. Smoke rises from his shocked form, no more resistance from him from the looks of it. OOC: Skaya.
20:54 <•Kotono> Init is Thorn (21) > Sanda (16, 5 rounds of invisibility left) > Skaya (14) > Thistle (12)

20:55 <•Kotono> "Amazing how much better this fight's going," Rina comments as she rests against Anne, "Isn't it?"
20:55 <•Kotono> "The difference between a good and poor guess at tactics," Liza says as she watches, "Everything about that previous battle was ill advised."
20:55 <Devar> Devar slowly turns to look at Rina without saying anything.
20:56 <•Kotono> Rina returns the look wearily, "What? We were both there."
20:57 <Devar> "In the future, we should probably coordinate better." Devar says.
21:00 <•Kotono> "No argument from me," Rina agrees, "Come on Skaya, get the other one!"

21:02 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 6d6+10+2d8 crit --> [ 6d6=23 2d8=12 ]{45}
21:02 <Skaya> OOC: +1 for each hit, not that it probably matters
21:02 <•Kotono> OOC: As in the last three are hits, and the last of those is a crit, not three hits and a crit. It doesn' tmatter doing the math, though.
21:03 <Skaya> OOC: I wasn't sure so I labeled them for you
21:03 <•Kotono> What happens next is sheer, simple violence. Skaya's blows beat, batter and crush Thorn's defenses. He's struck, slammed and hit again and again, unti he drops his sword and his shield goes limp, until he's knocked down with an uppercut and doesn't get up. Then everyone's back once more, another victory, this time without any bleeding. OOC: Amazing how different fights, approaches and luck of
21:03 <•Kotono> the draws impact things.
21:04 <Skaya> "Fun times!" Skaya cheers. "Let's fight again before the spells expire!"
21:05 <•Kotono> Before you a heavy dwarven greatsword and tower shield appear, Liza and Anne going to fetch them. Meanwhile the door now reads: OOC: More, one moment.
21:06 <•Kotono> Battle 2v1, versus The Stonebard. Reward: Dwarven lyre, dwarven drums, dwarven cymbals.
21:06 <•Kotono> Battle 1v5, versus Deepdark Clan. Reward: A backpack full of precious ores.
21:06 <•Kotono> Battle 5v1, vs Logan Wyrmsblood. Reward: Staff of the Wyrmsblood.
21:06 <•Kotono> OOC: Loot updated again.
21:07 <Skaya> "How about the Stonebard?" Skaya proposes. "Who wants to fight him with me? Or her! Could be her!"
21:11 <Devar> "I don't have many resources left." Devar says. "So I'm not sure how much help I'd be."
21:12 <Skaya> "Sanda? Liza? Anne?"
21:12 <•Kotono> "I could," Anne steps forward, as Liza does the same.
21:12 <•Kotono> "My spell's almost up," SAnda steps back, "I had my turn."
21:12 <•Kotono> Liza sniffs, "I could too, of course. Don't you think so?"
21:12 <•Kotono> "On the other hand, a healer is only prudent," Anne counters.
21:13 <Skaya> "Let's flip a coin for it!" Skaya proposes, before doing just that. "It's not the last fight, promise!"
21:13 <Skaya> roll 1d2 1=Liza,2=Anne
21:13 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d2 1=Liza,2=Anne --> [ 1d2=1 ]{1}
21:17 <•Kotono> The coin comes up heads. Liza steps forward, "I'll accept," she offers primly. "Shall we go now?"
21:18 <•Kotono> Meanwhile, q uietly to Devar, "Somehow I'm not surprised," Rina murmurs.
21:18 <Skaya> "Let's do it," Skaya agrees, before casting Invisibility. Let's try a sneaky attack this time!
21:19 <Devar> "Anne will get her time to shine in the team fight." Devar says with a smile.

21:21 <•Kotono> "A good idea," A potion is taken out and drank, Liza vanishing as well. OOC: Ready to go then?

21:23 <•Kotono> A woosh as one group is stands bound and the other is in the arena. An invisible Liza and Anne face off against a dwarf with vibrant, sun yellow hair. She claps her hand as an entire phantasmal orchestra floats around her, "Everyone," she calls, "To the beat!"  She's 50ft away from the two of you as...OOC: Init.

21:24 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+6 Liza --> [ 1d20=17 ]{23}
21:27 <•Kotono> Init is Liza = Stonebard (27) > Skaya (17)
21:27 <•Kotono> "Now," As presumably Liza races in, "Dance to the beat!" The instruments all around her play loud and louder, a tidal wave of overwhelming sound pummeling both of you.
21:27 <•Kotono> roll 5d6 and fort both of you
21:27 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 5d6 and fort both of you --> [ 5d6=13 ]{13}
21:27 <•Kotono> OOC: Sonic damage if you have any resistances.
21:28 <Skaya> roll 1d20+13+7 inspiration, also it doesn't pass my temp hp from false life, does it still trigger the fort?
21:28 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+13+7 inspiration, also it doesn't pass my temp hp from false life, does it still trigger the fort? --> [ 1d20=7 ]{27}

21:30 <•Kotono> Whatever Liza is doing, it's not obvious or apparent. At least right away, anyway. OOC: Liza's up to something. Go.
21:30 <Skaya> What else can Skaya do but appear behind the blonde dwarf while elbowing her back as hard as she can?
21:31 <Skaya> roll 1d20+13+2+7 invis, so she's hopefully flatfooted, also inspiration and stunning fist
21:31 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+13+2+7 invis, so she's hopefully flatfooted, also inspiration and stunning fist --> [ 1d20=13 ]{35}
21:31 <•Kotono> OOC: d100, you want a result higher than 20.
21:32 <Skaya> roll 1d100
21:32 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d100 --> [ 1d100=85 ]{85}

21:32 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+12 --> [ 1d20=9 ]{21}
21:32 <Skaya> OOC: +1, I will eventually stop forgetting the extra damage
21:33 <•Kotono> WHAM! A direct hit to the dwarf's head, knocking her back. Skaya shimmers into visibility as the dwarf's attention turns, "Ah! A critic!" she calls, just before suddenly?
21:33 <•Kotono> roll 1d20+11 will save
21:33 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+11 will save --> [ 1d20=7 ]{18}
21:33 <Skaya> "Just a humble martial artist!"
21:34 <•Kotono> The dwarf simply collapses, as if she fell asleep on the spot. Liza shimmers back into visibility as the instruments play in vain, "Finish it!" she cries.
21:34 — Skaya doesn't let the opportunity pass her by!
21:34 <•Kotono> "...we really did do that awfully, didn't we?" Rina says n a flat voice, meanwhile.
21:34 <•Kotono> Anne politely coughs into her fist.
21:35 <•Kotono> "It's all treasure either way," Petrove says, "You lived."
21:36 <•Kotono> OOC: Go Skaya, just to be clear. Dwarf's in sleepyland.

21:38 <•Kotono> OOC: Two htis.
21:38 <Skaya> OOC: 40 damage
21:41 <•Kotono> Out cold and nigh defenseless, not even an instrumental defense can protect her now. A few blows send her into sleepyland more permanently, and that's that. The two reappear, untouched again. OOC: Free act.
21:41 — Skaya holds out her fist to Liza for a bump. "Nicely done!"
21:42 <Devar> "It's a learning opportunity." Devar echoes.
21:42 <•Kotono> Skaya gets a hug instead, "What a perfect win! We weren't even touched!"
21:43 <Skaya> "It felt pretty great!" Skaya agrees. "I can probably fight one more time-- ah, can we return after rest? Would we need to start from the beginning again if we do?"
21:44 <•Kotono> "You can return when you wish, and resume from where you stopped," Is the answer, "Go if you want. Stone is patient."
21:44 <•Kotono> "Some rest and recovery would be well advised," Anne admits, "Those were difficult fights, and the poison lingers."
21:45 <Skaya> Tempted all the same, Skaya glances at the refreshed list of opponents!
21:51 <•Kotono> OOC: Okay, that's a good pausing point. IT's a few early, but we'll pick up there next time.

[Corwin]

19:08 <Kotono> Battle 1v5, versus Deepdark Clan. Reward: A backpack full of precious ores.
19:08 <Kotono> Battle 5v1, vs Logan Wyrmsblood. Reward: Staff of the Wyrmsblood.
19:08 <Kotono> Battle 3v4, vs The Orgar Family. Reward: Stoneblade.
19:10 <Skaya> "You know, it occurs to me that I never quite asked. Are the memories always of dwarves? Or dwarves are at least leading figures?"
19:12 <Kotono> "The memories are dwarves," Is the plain answer back
19:12 <Kotono> "The memories are dwarves," Is the plain answer back.
19:13 <Skaya> "Liza, Anne, I want to challenge the Orgar family. I promise to stop for today afterwards! Are you with me?"
19:14 <Kotono> Anne considers before she shakes her head. "Skaya, why risk it now? We can rest, recover and be fully prepared for a challenge tomorrow. Let us not gamble our lives haphazardly when we do not need to."
19:14 <Kotono> "I'm for it," LIza says, "All of us together should be more than four dwarves."
19:16 <Skaya> "I feel I'm getting more out of this, training-wise, when I'm not quite as fresh," Skaya admits. "I had so many options to use originally, but now I'm down to my bread and butter, so to speak. So we can test new ways to use them, new combinations between our skills, that sort of thing. Doesn't it put a certain pressure on you? And if we get in over our heads, I'm not beyond surrendering. It doesn't have to be to the death."
19:18 <Devar> "If a group surrenders, can another group try?" Devar asks.
19:18 <Kotono> "Truly?" Anne asks, "I fear that should death come, it may come suddenly and before any can surrender. Surrendering won't fix a fatal blow."
19:19 <Kotono> "Another group may try, but do not expect it to get easier, but harder," The statue warns.
19:19 <Skaya> "I can't really force you to fight and we don't have three without you," Skaya says, spreading her arms helplessly. "If you hate it that much, okay." But someone else will be asked to fight the next day!
19:20 <Devar> "Could you use this to fight things without a reward?" Devar asks, "I mean... like Skaya says, this is good for training. Or was it not designed for that?"
19:26 <Kotono> "Why would you not want a reward?" Thes tatue asks, sounding confused.
19:26 — Skaya looks even more confused.
19:26 <Kotono> Meanwhile Anne says, "I don't hate it, but my goal is to preserve your lives, not see them lost on needless gambles."
19:27 <Devar> "It was just hypothetical - being able to fight against strong opponents, but without a fear of death would be useful to anyone aspiring to get stronger." He explains. "Either way, I'm with Anne - I can cast all my defensive spells for you all before you fight anything tomorrow, so it'll be an easier fight either way."
19:28 <Skaya> Shaking her head, Skaya gives up for the day. Forcing someone unwilling to fight will just result in a bad outcome.
19:33 <Kotono> OOC: Going back to rest then? If so, any prep or anything I need to know?
19:34 <Skaya> OOC: Just regular rest, the prep is before tomorrow's battles!
19:36 <Skaya> OOC: Anne should have a few lesser restorations, not just for Rina
19:36 <Kotono> OOC: She used all fou rof her ones for today already, but she can for tomorrow, sure. Devar, your rod recharges too?
19:37 <Devar> OOC: yep
19:39 <Kotono> OOC: Okay, let's sort that out first. Devar, do your rodding?
19:40 <Skaya> OOC: She recovers with sleep a bit, too!
19:43 <Kotono> OOC: Both of you do, eys.

19:49 <Kotono> The next day the party approaches the statue and doors once more. Freshly rested and recovered, they're free to proceed how they wish.
19:50 <Skaya> "Devar, fancy a fight with Liza and I against the Orgar Family?" Skaya offers.
19:52 <Devar> "I'd love to redeem myself." He says with a nod.
19:53 <Skaya> "Brand new day! So let's precast the armor spells!"
19:53 — Skaya precasts her own False Life and Greater Magic Weapon, in fact!
19:53 <Skaya> roll 1d10+8

19:54 <Devar> He nods. OOC: Luminous Armor for him and Skaya, mage Armor for Liza.
19:54 <Kotono> "Thank you," Liza offers, "I'll cast something once the battle begins."
19:54 <Devar> OOC: Luminous is +8 Armor, Mage Armor is +7
19:55 <Skaya> "Sure! Let's see how the situation goes, alright? And please let me try and command that battle. We can rotate afterwards if you're interested?"
19:56 <Devar> Devar nods. "Sure thing."
19:58 <Kotono> OOC: Which fight are y'all gonna do?
19:59 <Skaya> OOC: The Orgar Family!
20:09 <Kotono> WIth that there is another shift. Skaya, Liza and Devar appear in the arena once more. Before them stand four male dwarves, each in heavy armor and floating off the ground. A massive field of rocks surrounds them, reaching out 10ft in every direction. They're currently 50ft away, each of them facing you and ready. OOC: Init.

20:11 <Kotono> OOC: OIpen Skaya.
20:13 — Skaya decides to test things out, and maneuvers to the left flank! At least they wouldn't be able to all charge at her that way, and she can trade blows with just one dwarf at start.
20:13 <Skaya> roll 1d20+14+7 inspiration, stunning fist
20:13 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+14+7 inspiration, stunning fist --> [ 1d20=7 ]{28}

20:16 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+24 let's try --> [ 1d20=2 ]{26}

20:19 <Skaya> OOC: 35
20:23 <Kotono> The rocks slam around Skaya. She's forced back and unable to close in, movement arrested. She's able to retreat back unharmed, but she's unable to get closer than 10ft. "Ranged attacks," Liza calls, pulling out a scroll, "Like this!" She chants and a little streak of fire flies out, until it explodes into a fireball around the dwarves.
20:23 <Kotono> roll 1d20+12 Ref
20:23 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+12 Ref --> [ 1d20=18 ]{30}
20:24 <Kotono> The stones rocket inward fast, coming to form a protective shella round the dwarves. When the fire burst fades, the stones fly back out, the dwarves within unharmed. They float there, chanting lowly as...OOC: Orgar family is up.
20:25 <Kotono> The stones whirl faster and faster, until a pair fire out blazingly fast, one at Skaya and one at Liza.
20:25 <Kotono> roll 1d20+20 Skaya
20:25 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+20 Skaya --> [ 1d20=3 ]{23}
20:25 <Kotono> roll 1d20+20 Liza
20:25 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+20 Liza --> [ 1d20=6 ]{26}
20:26 <Kotono> Yet both projectiles are avoided, Liza leaping aside as Skaya jets up intothe air. For now a tleast, neither is injured. OOC: Devar.
20:27 <Devar> Devar decides to see if this can just be dispelled - or supressed in some way! OOC: Dispel magic, area, against the family.
20:31 <Kotono> OOC: Dispel cehck.
20:32 <Devar> roll 1d20+10 I am pretty okay at these!
20:32 <Kobot> Devar rolled 1d20+10 I am pretty okay at these! --> [ 1d20=6 ]{16}
20:32 <Devar> OOC: When Kobot isn't rude, of course
20:32 <Kotono> OOC: Of course. Second dispel check, as there's more than one effect withinr ange.
20:32 <Devar> roll 1d20+10 I am pretty okay at these!
20:32 <Kobot> Devar rolled 1d20+10 I am pretty okay at these! --> [ 1d20=18 ]{28}
20:33 <Kotono> Whatever happens, it doesn't stop the storm of rocks. Theyr'e still going strong as...OOC: Skaya, you're just outside of the 10ft radius of the rocks.
20:33 <Devar> Devar hums. Maybe it wasn't strong enough?

20:34 — Skaya decides to burn the dwarves with Burning Hands! It's mostly annoying rather than harmful, but they're clustered together, she just can't help herself! And then she flies up and away!
20:34 <Skaya> roll 5d4 Ref DC19 half
20:34 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 5d4 Ref DC19 half --> [ 5d4=17 ]{17}
20:34 <Skaya> OOC: I'll get back 60ft
20:37 <Kotono> roll 1d20+12 ref
20:37 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+12 ref --> [ 1d20=16 ]{28}
20:38 <Kotono> The stones come inward once more, shielding the dwarves from the blast of fire. Liza scowls darkly, "How unbelievably annoying," she calls, "We need something that can pierce through!"
20:39 <Skaya> "That's not a skill I have," Skaya admits. "But it does teach us more about what we should purchase later!"
20:44 <Kotono> CHanting, "Fly, magic missiles!" A quick chant from Liza, missiles at least flying true.
20:44 <Kotono> roll 4d4+4 when in doubt, magic missile
20:44 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 4d4+4 when in doubt, magic missile --> [ 4d4=6 ]{10}
20:44 <Skaya> "You've read my mind!"
20:45 <Kotono> Magic missles dart out one after another, at least these slipping past the stones and hitting the dwarves. They take them well enough, but it's a start. At this two more rocks fly, this time both aimed dead on at Devar!
20:45 <Kotono> roll 2#1d20+20 AC?
20:45 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 2#1d20+20 AC? --> [ 1d20=15 ]{35}, [ 1d20=16 ]{36}
20:45 <Devar> OOC: 31 except against melee attacks which these are unfortunately not
20:46 Devar set the topic: Skaya: 17+100/100 (+6 AC, Sanda's bracers of +4CON) Devar 113/113 (-2 str/dex) Anne 83/83 Sanda 60/60 Rina 56/85 (-4 str -3 dex)
20:48 <Kotono> roll 5d6
20:48 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 5d6 --> [ 5d6=15 ]{15}
20:48 <Kotono> roll 5d6
20:48 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 5d6 --> [ 5d6=17 ]{17}
20:49 <Kotono> Two stones fly and hit Devar right in the stomach, two shots that leave him gasping. They hurt, thrown far too fast and powerfully. It's not the worst he's ever taken, but he'll feel that without healing. OOC: Go Devar.
20:49 Devar set the topic: Skaya: 17+100/100 (+6 AC, Sanda's bracers of +4CON) Devar 81/113 (-2 str/dex) Anne 83/83 Sanda 60/60 Rina 56/85 (-4 str -3 dex)
20:49 <Devar> Hmm, so there is something to this... Devar doesn't have much that's going to pierce this either, so he decides to try his hand at dispelling again, the same way as before!
20:49 <Devar> roll 1d20+10 I am pretty okay at these!
20:49 <Kobot> Devar rolled 1d20+10 I am pretty okay at these! --> [ 1d20=14 ]{24}
20:54 <Kotono> There! Thes tones all rain down in a loud din, falling as th epower controlling them is disrupted. The dwarves are unprotected for now! OOC: Go Skaya.
20:55 <Skaya> Once more, Skaya charges in! Left flank is hers!
20:55 <Skaya> roll 1d20+14+7 inspiration, stunning fist, not actually charging
20:55 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+14+7 inspiration, stunning fist, not actually charging --> [ 1d20=9 ]{30}
20:55 <Skaya> roll 3d6+6+1d8 and Fort DC 21
20:55 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 3d6+6+1d8 and Fort DC 21 --> [ 3d6=13 1d8=5 ]{24}
20:59 <Kotono> roll 1d20+15
20:59 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+15 --> [ 1d20=13 ]{28}
21:13 <Kotono> WHAM! You strike one dwarf and all four recoil back, as if hit in the chest just like the leftmost one was. Their armors even dent the exact same way. Meanwhile, Liza takes the opening to chant again, this time...
21:14 <Kotono> roll 1d20+14 will it worked last time so why not try this time
21:14 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+14 will it worked last time so why not try this time --> [ 1d20=5 ]{19}
21:14 <Kotono> As one, the dwarves slump over and fall asleep, helpless for the moment. Ther ocks don't go back up, leaving all them even more vulnerable. OOC: Go Devar.
21:16 — Skaya tilts her head.
21:16 <Devar> "I...oh, I think I see how this works." Devar says as he moves slightly over to strike them all with a lightning bolt in their current state!
21:17 <Devar> roll 8d6 zappy zap DC 23 reflex which i am guessing they can't actually do right now
21:17 <Kobot> Devar rolled 8d6 zappy zap DC 23 reflex which i am guessing they can't actually do right now --> [ 8d6=19 ]{19}
21:20 <Kotono> OOC: They cannot, no.
21:20 <Kotono> The lightning bolt hits all of them, scorching them away. They convulse, shocked badly by that as...OOC: Skaya, go.
21:20 <Skaya> Even though it feels a bit bad, Skaya still smacks the prone dwarf near her!
21:21 <Skaya> roll 1d20+14+7 inspiration
21:21 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+14+7 inspiration --> [ 1d20=13 ]{34}
21:21 <Skaya> roll 1d20+14+7 inspiration
21:21 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+14+7 inspiration --> [ 1d20=7 ]{28}
21:21 <Skaya> roll 1d20+9+7 inspiration
21:21 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+9+7 inspiration --> [ 1d20=17 ]{33}
21:21 <Kotono> OOC: All hit. Pain.
21:21 <Skaya> roll 3d6+6+1d8+7 inspiration
21:21 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 3d6+6+1d8+7 inspiration --> [ 3d6=6 1d8=1 ]{20}
21:21 <Skaya> roll 3d6+6+1d8+7 inspiration
21:21 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 3d6+6+1d8+7 inspiration --> [ 3d6=8 1d8=7 ]{28}
21:21 <Skaya> roll 3d6+6+1d8+7 inspiration
21:21 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 3d6+6+1d8+7 inspiration --> [ 3d6=13 1d8=7 ]{33}
21:25 <Kotono> Blow after blow rains down. The dwarves are beaten, battered - and like this helpless. The last blow slams down and breaks something in them, and moments later the party returns, safe and sound. OOC: Nicely done, that could've been an ugly, nasty little fight.
21:26 <Skaya> "Very nice! Devar and Liza, without each of you this would've been a really tough slog!" Skaya cheers. Even though her own intentions fell apart right away, it's still good to see where she needs to improve.
21:30 <Kotono> Liza brushes her hai back, "As expected. Dispelling is always useful as ewll."
21:30 <Kotono> Rina claps, "Congratulations!"
21:30 <Skaya> "Let's see our next opponents!"
21:30 <Kotono> "Another win," Sanda declares, "Another prize, too." She comes over, bearing a bastard sword made of what looks to be solid stone. Gray stone, heavy rock. "This has some heft to it."
21:31 <Devar> "Oh, I'll spend some time going through all of them, I should've done that yesterday and forgot." Devar says. "Assuming most of them are magical, anyway."
21:32 <Kotono> OOC: Loot updated.
21:33 <Kotono> "You must defeat Wyrmsblood to see more opponents, and they will be stronger ones after that," The statue warns.
21:33 <Kotono> Battle 1v5, versus Deepdark Clan. Reward: A backpack full of precious ores.
21:33 <Kotono> Battle 5v1, vs Logan Wyrmsblood. Reward: Staff of the Wyrmsblood.
21:34 <Skaya> "Oh! Then let's do that!" Skaya readily agrees. "So Devar, Liza, Anne, Sanda?"
21:37 <Devar> "If you want me, sure." Devar agrees.
21:37 <Skaya> "We also want Anne to heal you beforehand, and for you to share mage armor with Sanda. Works?"
21:38 <Devar> "I can do that." Devar says.
21:39 <Kotono> "I'm in," Sanda agrees as Devar gets looked over. OOC: How much healing do you need?
21:40 <Devar> OOC: I'd think two channel energies will be enough
21:43 <Skaya> OOC: She'll just use a spell, surely. Topic says he needs 32
21:44 <Kotono> roll 4d6
21:44 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 4d6 --> [ 4d6=20 ]{20}
21:44 <Kotono> OOC: 30 healing to Devar, which is close enough. That worked.
21:44 Devar set the topic: Skaya: 17+100/100 (+6 AC, Sanda's bracers of +4CON) Devar 111/113 (-2 str/dex) Anne 83/83 Sanda 60/60 Rina 56/85 (-4 str -3 dex)
21:44 <Kotono> Devar is healed, pain washed away. "We're ready,"  Anne confirms.
21:45 <Skaya> OOC: Mage Armor is on Sanda and Liza, right? For +7 AC?
21:45 <Skaya> "We're ready!" Skaya agrees.
21:45 <Devar> OOC: Yep
21:48 <Kotono> OOC: Yes. Okay. We'll cover the next fight...next time! We have 12 minutes and I don't wnat to start init then pause right there, so we'll start with a new encounter next tiem.

[Corwin]

19:06 <•Kotono> OOC: Refresh me on party as I line?
19:07 <Skaya> OOC: Skaya, Devar, Liza, Anne, Sanda vs Logan Wyrmsblood
19:11 <•Kotono> The group appears in the arena once more. Before you, 50ft away, is a dwarf. This one has wings the color of polished gold, wearing flowing pants and a loose shirt. He slowly cracks his knuckles, giving the party an intense grin. He then beckons them forward before...OOC: OInit.
19:11 <•Kotono> roll 1d20 Sanda sucks at init, story at 11.
19:11 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20 Sanda sucks at init, story at 11. --> [ 1d20=4 ]{4}
19:11 <Skaya> roll 1d20+13
19:11 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+13 --> [ 1d20=15 ]{28}
19:11 <Devar> roll 1d20+2 don't worry Devar is there with you sanda
19:11 <Kobot> Devar rolled 1d20+2 don't worry Devar is there with you sanda --> [ 1d20=16 ]{18}
19:12 <•Kotono> roll 1d20+4 Anne
19:12 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+4 Anne --> [ 1d20=6 ]{10}
19:12 <•Kotono> roll 1d20+6 Liza
19:12 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+6 Liza --> [ 1d20=18 ]{24}
19:12 <•Kotono> roll 1d20+10 Logan
19:12 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+10 Logan --> [ 1d20=7 ]{17}
19:13 <•Kotono> Init is Skaya (28) > Liza (24) > Devar (18) > Logan (17) > Anne (10) > Sanda (4)
19:13 <•Kotono> OOC: Go Skaya.
19:13 <Skaya> The dwarf has wings, so Skaya circles around to come down on him with a dropkick! That way it would be harder for him to take flight, and she'd be in a perfect position for flanking!
19:14 <Skaya> roll 1d20+15+7 inspiration, Stunning Fist
19:14 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+15+7 inspiration, Stunning Fist --> [ 1d20=7 ]{29}
19:14 <Skaya> roll 3d6+6+1d8 if hit, Fort DC21 vs stun
19:14 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 3d6+6+1d8 if hit, Fort DC21 vs stun --> [ 3d6=14 1d8=2 ]{22}
19:15 <•Kotono> roll 1d20+18 fort
19:15 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+18 fort --> [ 1d20=8 ]{26}
19:16 <•Kotono> Skaya closes in and drop kicks him right in his dwarf-dragon face. It knocks him back several steps, reeling from the impact. OOC: Liza will hold pending Devar, since what he does matters here. Go Devar.
19:17 <Devar> There's no reason yet not to get in close, and maybe he'll get lucky with something! He flies over to land and flank with Skaya, taking a swing with Goldenfang!
19:17 <Devar> roll 1d20+13+2 flanking
19:17 <Kobot> Devar rolled 1d20+13+2 flanking --> [ 1d20=7 ]{22}
19:17 <Devar> roll 1d8+5 if it hit
19:17 <Kobot> Devar rolled 1d8+5 if it hit --> [ 1d8=4 ]{9}
19:19 <•Kotono> This time it's a swing and a miss, not quite enough to get the reeling dwarf. With two in melee Liza hangs back, pointing and gesturing as she takes out a little gemstone. It fades away as shards of gems rain down on the dwarf.
19:19 <•Kotono> roll 8d6 and ref dwarf
19:19 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 8d6 and ref dwarf --> [ 8d6=27 ]{27}
19:19 <•Kotono> roll 1d20+17 evasion booo
19:19 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+17 evasion booo --> [ 1d20=18 ]{35}
19:22 <•Kotono> Logan reacts fast, tumbling back and out of the sharp rain of shards. It gives him a chance to thump his chest and step back, just out of reach. He gestures and snaps his fingers, then rears back. A titanic gout of fire erupts out of his mouth, engulfing both Devar and Skaya. OOC: Ref.
19:22 <Devar> roll 1d20+17 i also have evasion
19:22 <Kobot> Devar rolled 1d20+17 i also have evasion --> [ 1d20=13 ]{30}
19:24 <•Kotono> OOC: Skaya?
19:32 <Skaya> roll 1d20+14+7 inspiration, evasion
19:32 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+14+7 inspiration, evasion --> [ 1d20=16 ]{37}
19:33 <•Kotono> Yet both of them manage to dodge the breath, but it's not done. It forms into a hulking shape larger than either of them, a great menacing brute of fire. It looms over them as...OOC: More.
19:33 <•Kotono> Init is Skaya (28) > Liza (24) > Devar (18) > Fire Breath = Logan (17) > Anne (10) > Sanda (4)
19:37 <•Kotono> Anne approaches and holds up her holy symbol, "Take heart and fight on," she cries, light shining from above. OOC: Good Hope on Devar, Skaya and Anne. +2 morale to saves, attack rolls, ability checks, skill checks and weapon damage rolls. Sanda.
19:40 <•Kotono> Meanwhile Sanda stays back for once, hurling magic missiles at the new threat, "Stay down," she cries, as they hit the fire creature right in the center mass.
19:40 <•Kotono> roll 4d4+4
19:40 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 4d4+4 --> [ 4d4=8 ]{12}
19:41 <•Kotono> They plunk the creature, tearing through but not downing it. It endures the wound with ease, standing tall as...OOC: Skaya. The giant fire creature is between you and Devar's direct path to Logan.
19:42 <Skaya> This is fine! Skaya circles around the creature, giving it a wide berth, before getting behind the dwarf and kicking him in the head again!
19:42 <Skaya> roll 1d20+15+7 inspiration, Stunning Fist
19:42 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+15+7 inspiration, Stunning Fist --> [ 1d20=16 ]{38}
19:43 <Skaya> roll 3d6+6+1d8 and Fort DC21 vs stun
19:43 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 3d6+6+1d8 and Fort DC21 vs stun --> [ 3d6=13 1d8=6 ]{25}
19:44 <•Kotono> OOC: Give me a d100, you want 21 or higher.
19:45 <Skaya> roll 1d100
19:45 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d100 --> [ 1d100=23 ]{23}
19:48 <•Kotono> roll 1d20+18 fort
19:48 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+18 fort --> [ 1d20=17 ]{35}
19:48 <•Kotono> Skaya loops around longways, managing to slam a kick right into hsi head. He rolls with it, clobbered but nothing more. He shakes his head, taking it well enough. OOC: Devar, go, then Liza.
19:49 <Devar> Devar follows suit with Skaya - the fire creature can attack them all it wants, but the real focus needs to be Logan! He takes another swing, hopefully with more precision this time!
19:49 <Devar> roll 1d20+13+2 flanking
19:49 <Kobot> Devar rolled 1d20+13+2 flanking --> [ 1d20=16 ]{31}
19:49 <•Kotono> OOC Hyti.
19:49 <•Kotono> OOC: hit.
19:49 <Devar> roll 1d8+5
19:49 <Kobot> Devar rolled 1d8+5 --> [ 1d8=6 ]{11}
19:49 <•Kotono> OOC: Hit. Gah.
19:52 <•Kotono> Devar closes in and presses him further, a slash across his arm. It's a parry that draws blood, getting a breathless gasp from the dwarf. Pressure is applied further as this time the old reliable comes, magic missiles pummeling him furthe ras Liza approaches from the side, staying back from it all.
19:52 <•Kotono> roll 4d4+4 dwarf ow
19:52 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 4d4+4 dwarf ow --> [ 4d4=8 ]{12}
19:53 <Skaya> OOC: +2 damage to him from my hit, forgot Anne
19:53 <•Kotono> The missiles hit home, another blow to the dwarf. He spits up blood, wings flairing out as meanwhile, the great creature of flame turns. It lumbers forward for Skaya, swinging away at her with one heavy, overwhelming blow.
19:53 <•Kotono> roll 1d20+20 AC?
19:53 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+20 AC? --> [ 1d20=3 ]{23}
19:53 <Skaya> OOC: Higher
19:54 <•Kotono> Which Skaya fades back from, untouched. Just in time for the dwarf to step back before the legs of both Skaya and Devar tingle. OOC: Fort both of you.
19:55 <Skaya> roll 1d20+13+2
19:55 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+13+2 --> [ 1d20=6 ]{21}
19:55 <Devar> roll 1d20+25
19:55 <Kobot> Devar rolled 1d20+25 --> [ 1d20=15 ]{40}
19:55 <•Kotono> roll 8d8 Skaya full ow Devar half
19:55 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 8d8 Skaya full ow Devar half --> [ 8d8=31 ]{31}
19:55 Skaya set the topic: Skaya: 86/100 (+6 AC, Sanda's bracers of +4CON) Devar 111/113 (-2 str/dex) Anne 83/83 Sanda 60/60 Rina 56/85 (-4 str -3 dex)
19:56 <•Kotono> CRACK! For Devar it's pain. His legs scream at him but he controls himself, nothing more than a nasty shock. For Skaya her legs are what make the noise, legs broken. She tumbles to the ground, knocked prone. Her legs are no good to help her move, at least until she gets some medical attention.  Which comes immediately, Anne positioning just so and calling, "Once again please, Lady Jetina!"
19:56 <•Kotono> roll 4d6
19:56 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 4d6 --> [ 4d6=14 ]{14}
19:57 <•Kotono> OOC: 21 healing both of you.
19:57 Skaya set the topic: Skaya: 100/100 (+6 AC, Sanda's bracers of +4CON) Devar 113/113 (-2 str/dex) Anne 83/83 Sanda 60/60 Rina 56/85 (-4 str -3 dex)
19:57 <Devar> OOC: That just undoes all the damage so I'm back to full
19:58 <•Kotono> Skaya's still prone, but her legs snap back into rightness, no longer broken and free to support her. Just in time for Sanda to keep it up, this time more missiles at the dwarf, circling around opposite Liza.
19:58 <•Kotono> roll 4d4+4
19:58 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 4d4+4 --> [ 4d4=15 ]{19}
19:58 <•Kotono> These missiles hit hard, enough to check the dwarf back. He coughs up red from that, staggering before then...OOC: Skaya.
19:58 <Skaya> OOC: I'm prone even though I was flying? Okay.
20:02 — Skaya rolls out of the way before standing up, and magic missiles shoot into the dwarf once more!
20:02 <Skaya> roll 2d4+2+5 5ft step away, move action to stand up, standard to use the wand
20:02 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 2d4+2+5 5ft step away, move action to stand up, standard to use the wand --> [ 2d4=5 ]{12}
20:04 <•Kotono> OOC: Was one moment. Did you ever say you were flying or anything? I thought you were on the ground here.
20:04 <Skaya> OOC: Yes, I was attacking from above the whole time
20:05 → Iddy joined (uid408070@lunarnet-423F0355.irccloud.com)
20:07 <•Kotono> OOC: Okay, fair enough then, you wouldn't be prone.
20:08 <Skaya> OOC: Okay! Then I'll redo!
20:08 <Skaya> Speeding up, Skaya decides to beat up this stupid dracodwarf before something worse happens!
20:08 <Skaya> roll 1d20+17+7 haste, Anne, inspiration
20:08 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+17+7 haste, Anne, inspiration --> [ 1d20=2 ]{26}
20:09 <Skaya> roll 1d20+17+7 haste, Anne, inspiration
20:09 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+17+7 haste, Anne, inspiration --> [ 1d20=15 ]{39}
20:09 <Skaya> roll 1d20+17+7 haste, Anne, inspiration
20:09 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+17+7 haste, Anne, inspiration --> [ 1d20=15 ]{39}
20:09 <Skaya> roll 1d20+12 haste, Anne
20:09 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+12 haste, Anne --> [ 1d20=17 ]{29}
20:09 <Skaya> OOC: +2 to all of them from flanking with Devar, sorry
20:09 <Skaya> roll 3d6+8+1d8 #1
20:09 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 3d6+8+1d8 #1 --> [ 3d6=5 1d8=6 ]{19}
20:09 <Skaya> roll 3d6+8+1d8 #2
20:09 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 3d6+8+1d8 #2 --> [ 3d6=13 1d8=3 ]{24}
20:09 <Skaya> roll 3d6+8+1d8 #3
20:09 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 3d6+8+1d8 #3 --> [ 3d6=12 1d8=3 ]{23}
20:09 <Skaya> roll 3d6+8+1d8 #4
20:09 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 3d6+8+1d8 #4 --> [ 3d6=8 1d8=2 ]{18}
20:14 <•Kotono> This time the blows are unrelenting and the dwarf is hit again, again and again. The last one knocks him down and-AGH! All of you are suddenly slammed back. No pain, just slammed back to the far side of the arena. Now, 100ft away and rising up where the dwarf was is a golden dragon. It's the size of a house, letting out a defiant roar. The only good thing is that the fire creature is gone.
20:14 <•Kotono> "Dragon," Anne says grimly, "A half dragon that fully unlocked his draconic power?"
20:14 <Skaya> "Now we're getting somewhere!" Skaya cheers, picking her up from the ground. "Let's do this!"
20:14 <•Kotono> "The real battle," Sanda agrees, as...OOC: Init all, but sec.
20:15 <Devar> "Is this really just a memory?" Devar asks.
20:15 <Skaya> roll 1d20+13
20:15 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+13 --> [ 1d20=18 ]{31}
20:15 <Devar> roll 1d20+2
20:15 <Kobot> Devar rolled 1d20+2 --> [ 1d20=7 ]{9}
20:17 <Skaya> OOC: Is this a new encounter for the purpose of inspiration points renewal?
20:20 <•Kotono> roll 1d20 Sanda
20:20 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20 Sanda --> [ 1d20=4 ]{4}
20:21 <•Kotono> OOC: Same encounter for that, just a new init.
20:21 <•Kotono> roll 1d20+4 Anne
20:21 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+4 Anne --> [ 1d20=12 ]{16}
20:21 <•Kotono> roll 1d20+6 Liza
20:21 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+6 Liza --> [ 1d20=19 ]{25}
20:21 <•Kotono> roll 1d20+4 Dragon?!
20:21 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+4 Dragon?! --> [ 1d20=12 ]{16}
20:21 <•Kotono> Init is Skaya (31) > Liza (25) > Anne = Dragon (16) >  Devar (9) > Sanda (4)
20:21 <•Kotono> OOC: Go Skaya.
20:23 — Skaya tries to get away from the others to prevent presenting an exciting breath target! And while keeping 120ft from the dragon, shoots it with her wand of Magic Missiles!
20:23 <Skaya> roll 2d4+2+5
20:23 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 2d4+2+5 --> [ 2d4=2 ]{9}
20:28 <•Kotono> OOC: Caster elvel check.
20:29 <Skaya> roll 1d20+3
20:29 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+3 --> [ 1d20=2 ]{5}
20:29 <•Kotono> The missiles fly true, but sputter out when they hit the dragon. They lose form and become sparks rather than a real attack, as...OOC: Liza.
20:30 <•Kotono> Liza goes in the opposite direction, getting space and positioning, 80ft away. OOC: She's setting herself up to the sides and just so. Since dragon and breath weapons. Anne and Dragon.
20:30 <•Kotono> OO:C Anne will hold since healing and clean up duty is what it is.
20:31 <•Kotono> The dragon takes to the air, flying 30ft up. Barely visible bands of armor surround it, protecting its scaled body further. OOC: Anne.
20:31 <•Kotono> Init is Skaya (31) > Liza (25) > Dragon (16) > Anne (15) >  Devar (9) > Sanda (4)
20:33 <•Kotono> Anne goes to Devar nearby and whispers powerful words, that wrap Devar in protection. OOC: Aid, so the morale bonus parts overlap with good hope, but the temp HP is notable.
20:33 <•Kotono> roll 1d8+7 temp HP Devar.
20:33 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d8+7 temp HP Devar. --> [ 1d8=8 ]{15}
20:33 <•Kotono> OOC: Go Devar.
20:33 Devar set the topic: Skaya: 100/100 (+6 AC, Sanda's bracers of +4CON) Devar 113/113 (15) (-2 str/dex) Anne 83/83 Sanda 60/60 Rina 56/85 (-4 str -3 dex)
20:34 <Devar> Devar wishes he still had some ways to dispel magic, but for now he chants words of protection, then flies up about 30 feet as well, not getting into melee just yet! OOC: Protection from Energy on everyone sans Skaya since she doesn't need it, fire res 20 since surely it still breathes fire now and not something else
20:35 <Devar> OOC: Actually, that's a lie, scratch that line
20:35 <Devar> Devar wishes he still had some ways to dispel magic, but for now he chants words of protection, then flies up and towards the dragon, getting just outside of melee range with it for now! OOC: Protection from Energy on everyone sans Skaya since she doesn't need it, fire res 20 and then getting within 15 feet of the dragon.
20:36 <•Kotono> More protections wrap around the party as Sanda hustles ahead 80ft, still on the ground but much closer to the dragon now. That gives Skaya a chance to...OOOC: Go.
20:39 <Skaya> On reflection, didn't this whole thing started because of a dragon? And now this is their chance to fight one, except... can she even hit it? Skaya decides to give it a try, closing into melee!
20:40 <Skaya> roll 1d20+15
20:40 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+15 --> [ 1d20=12 ]{27}
20:40 <•Kotono> OOC: It has reach on you and you'll provoke an AoO. Okay with this?
20:40 <Skaya> OOC: I'm not okay with this but let's do it
20:41 <•Kotono> roll 1d20+20 chomp
20:41 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+20 chomp --> [ 1d20=5 ]{25}
20:41 <Skaya> OOC: Higher than that
20:44 <•Kotono> The dragon's mouth comes down but Skaya's too fast. The closes in and strikes - but her fist bounces off unseen force, doing nothing. Her attack is stopped as Liza pulls out a scroll and begins to chant, "Oh great four forces, come together in one form," she chants, before...
20:44 <•Kotono> roll 1d20+9 CL vs ???
20:44 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+9 CL vs ??? --> [ 1d20=15 ]{24}
20:44 <•Kotono> roll 1d20+18 fort vs ???
20:44 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+18 fort vs ??? --> [ 1d20=18 ]{36}
20:48 <•Kotono> Whatever is called on, light comes down but it seems to have no visible effect. Then the dragon whirls in the air and turns on Skaya, unleashing a titanic cloud of gas that engulfs Skaya. OOC: Fort, Skaya.
20:48 <•Kotono> roll 1d4-1
20:48 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d4-1 --> [ 1d4=1 ]{0}
20:49 <Skaya> roll 1d20+13+2+4 Anne+improved lungs
20:49 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+13+2+4 Anne+improved lungs --> [ 1d20=8 ]{27}
20:54 <•Kotono> The gas is horrible, but Skaya holds her breath. She forces herself through it, in time for Anne to...OOC: Anne holds since she's in a weird place here. No desire to melee and not much in ranged options, so she'll hold for emergency healing/bail outs. Devar, go.
20:56 <Devar> Devar flies in as well - he unfortunately can't do anything about the protective spells, but he'll try to join Skaya and help out! OOC: I assume it's easy enough to flank him since he's pretty big, and if need be I'll eat an AoO to do so - AC is 35 against melee
20:56 <Devar> OOC: and if he goes to hit me he has a DC 24 will save or get dazzled
21:01 <•Kotono> roll 1d20+16 will
21:01 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+16 will --> [ 1d20=19 ]{35}
21:01 <•Kotono> OOC: MIsread, but let me see if he hits first regardless.
21:01 <•Kotono> roll 1d20+20 melee chomp
21:01 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+20 melee chomp --> [ 1d20=7 ]{27}
21:01 <•Kotono> OOC: Is that it for your turn?
21:02 <Devar> OOC: I might as well take a swing
21:02 <Devar> roll 1d20+13+2+2 flanking, Anne
21:02 <Kobot> Devar rolled 1d20+13+2+2 flanking, Anne --> [ 1d20=3 ]{20}
21:04 <•Kotono> Devar swings, but it glances off the wyrm's scales. It does nothing as Sanda chants, sending her own four-volley of magic missiles up in the meantime.
21:04 <•Kotono> roll 1d20+8 CL check
21:04 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+8 CL check --> [ 1d20=12 ]{20}
21:05 <•Kotono> roll 4d4+4
21:05 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 4d4+4 --> [ 4d4=8 ]{12}
21:05 <•Kotono> This time the missiles don't sputter out, enough to hit the wyrm right in the snout. Hardly a lethal blow by itself, but it hits home and that's something, as...OOC: Skaya, go.
21:06 <Skaya> If at first she couldn't hit, why not try again? And again! And again! One more time!
21:06 <Skaya> roll 1d20+18 Haste,Anne,flanking
21:06 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+18 Haste,Anne,flanking --> [ 1d20=10 ]{28}
21:06 <Skaya> roll 1d20+18 Haste,Anne,flanking
21:06 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+18 Haste,Anne,flanking --> [ 1d20=14 ]{32}
21:06 <Skaya> roll 1d20+18 Haste,Anne,flanking
21:06 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+18 Haste,Anne,flanking --> [ 1d20=10 ]{28}
21:06 <Skaya> roll 1d20+13 Haste,Anne,flanking
21:06 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+13 Haste,Anne,flanking --> [ 1d20=1 ]{14}
21:07 <Skaya> roll 3d6+8+1d8 #1
21:07 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 3d6+8+1d8 #1 --> [ 3d6=11 1d8=2 ]{21}
21:07 <Skaya> roll 3d6+8+1d8 #2
21:07 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 3d6+8+1d8 #2 --> [ 3d6=12 1d8=5 ]{25}
21:07 <Skaya> roll 3d6+8+1d8 #3
21:07 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 3d6+8+1d8 #3 --> [ 3d6=11 1d8=4 ]{23}
21:10 <•Kotono> Two blows hit that same field of force, disrupting the attack. Only one manages to power through, a kick to the dragon's foreclaw. It cracks one of them, a solid hit but only so much. She dives and swoops through the air desperately, the dragon's attention on her for now as...
21:10 <•Kotono> Init is Skaya (31) > Liza (25) > Dragon (16) > Anne (15) >  Devar (9) > Sanda (4)
21:10 <•Kotono> OOC: LIza.
21:24 <•Kotono> "Skaya!" LIza cries, "Do you need help?"
21:25 <Skaya> "I think it comes down to luck!" Skaya calls back. "Ours or his! Don't rush into danger if you don't have to!"
21:33 <•Kotono> Liza pulls out another scroll and chants, this time pointing at Skaya as she closes in. OOC: +1 luck bonus to attack and weapond amage rolls, saves an dskill checks. Prayer, CL 5. This gets Liza, Devar and Skaya. Draogn is up.
21:36 <•Kotono> Now hovering ther eand in melee combat, the dragon turns on Skaya and tears into her in return, claws, mouth and more coming for her.
21:37 <•Kotono> roll 1d20+22 (+2 ???) bite
21:37 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+22 (+2 ???) bite --> [ 1d20=1 ]{23}
21:37 <•Kotono> roll 1d20+20 (+2 ???) claw
21:37 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+20 (+2 ???) claw --> [ 1d20=19 ]{39}
21:37 <•Kotono> roll 1d20+20 (+2 ???) claw
21:37 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+20 (+2 ???) claw --> [ 1d20=13 ]{33}
21:37 <•Kotono> roll 1d20+20 (+2 ???) tail
21:37 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+20 (+2 ???) tail --> [ 1d20=19 ]{39}
21:37 <•Kotono> OOC: AC?
21:39 <Skaya> OOC: AC is 38 with Devar's armor spell and haste, and enemies get -4 to attacks on top of that so all should be missed
21:45 <•Kotono> The barrage is massive, but not a single claw manages to hit. INstead the barrage misses entirely, the armor enough to shield Skaya from it all along with her own speed. She moves in the air as then...OOC: Anne.
21:45 <•Kotono> With a surprising lack of healing needed for once, Anne continues to be at the ready. OOC: Devar.
21:46 <Devar> Devar takes his opportunity to strike at the dragon - he's quite familiar with the protective spells its used so does his best to pierce them!
21:46 <Devar> roll 1d20+13+2+2+1 flanking, Anne, Liza's spell
21:46 <Kobot> Devar rolled 1d20+13+2+2+1 flanking, Anne, Liza's spell --> [ 1d20=14 ]{32}
21:47 <Devar> roll 1d20+8+2+2+1 flanking, Anne, Liza's spell
21:47 <Kobot> Devar rolled 1d20+8+2+2+1 flanking, Anne, Liza's spell --> [ 1d20=5 ]{18}
21:47 <Devar> roll 1d8+10 whack
21:47 <Kobot> Devar rolled 1d8+10 whack --> [ 1d8=8 ]{18}
21:54 <•Kotono> Devar swings. A heavy blow hits the wyrm's back, cutting into its flank scales. The second bounces off, but dragon blood flows freely. It's a direct hit, something that gets a roar of pain. At the same time another barrage of missiles come, following up on that.
21:54 <•Kotono> roll 1d20+8
21:54 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+8 --> [ 1d20=2 ]{10}
21:54 <•Kotono> Which fizzle out on contact, Sanda's blast from afar wasted. OOC: Skaya, go.
21:55 <Skaya> Clearing her mind of anything unnecessary, Skaya strikes at the dragon anew!
21:55 <Skaya> roll 1d20+19 Haste,Anne,Liza,flanking
21:55 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+19 Haste,Anne,Liza,flanking --> [ 1d20=18 ]{37}
21:55 <Skaya> roll 1d20+19 Haste,Anne,Liza,flanking
21:55 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+19 Haste,Anne,Liza,flanking --> [ 1d20=11 ]{30}
21:55 <Skaya> roll 1d20+19 Haste,Anne,Liza,flanking
21:55 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+19 Haste,Anne,Liza,flanking --> [ 1d20=14 ]{33}
21:55 <Skaya> roll 1d20+14 Haste,Anne,Liza,flanking
21:55 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+14 Haste,Anne,Liza,flanking --> [ 1d20=14 ]{28}
21:56 <Skaya> roll 3d6+9+1d8+7 #1 Inspiration
21:56 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 3d6+9+1d8+7 #1 Inspiration --> [ 3d6=11 1d8=5 ]{32}
21:56 <Skaya> roll 3d6+9+1d8 #2
21:56 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 3d6+9+1d8 #2 --> [ 3d6=9 1d8=2 ]{20}
21:56 <Skaya> roll 3d6+9+1d8 #3
21:56 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 3d6+9+1d8 #3 --> [ 3d6=12 1d8=1 ]{22}
22:01 <•Kotono> The rain of blows comes...next time!

[Corwin]

18:59 <•Kotono> Init is Skaya (31) > Liza (25) > Dragon (16) > Anne (15) >  Devar (9) > Sanda (4)
19:03 <•Kotono> Skaya's blows rain down. They pound the dragon, some hitting. It's hard to tell at points what scores through the scales, but at the least the punches, kicks and elbows rattle the scales of it. Indeed, the dragon lets out a hiss of pain, as Skaya strikes again and again. She keeps the pressure up, as...OOC: Liza.
19:04 <Skaya> OOC: I bypass DR magic, just in case it wasn't clear
19:06 <•Kotono> OOC: Good to know, thank you.
19:06 <•Kotono> Meanwhile Liza chants, a new spell, but one that seems to run long. She takes the chance to prepare somethin as...OOC: Liza's casting something. Dragon is up.
19:08 <•Kotono> Now the dragon whirls about. It spins in the air, its fiery breath gathering in its maw. It spins around faster and faster, before spewing flames everywhere. An inferno of fire that engulfs all the arena, though it doesn't go to your friends watching in the stands as...OOC: Ref all.
19:08 <•Kotono> roll 1d4+5
19:08 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d4+5 --> [ 1d4=2 ]{7}
19:09 <Skaya> roll 1d20+14+1+1+2 haste+liza+anne evasion
19:09 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+14+1+1+2 haste+liza+anne evasion --> [ 1d20=7 ]{25}
19:09 <•Kotono> roll 1d20+10 Sanda
19:09 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+10 Sanda --> [ 1d20=11 ]{21}
19:10 <•Kotono> roll 1d20+17 Anne
19:10 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+17 Anne --> [ 1d20=5 ]{22}
19:10 <Devar> Roll 1d20+17+2+1 evasion and everyone has 20 fire res
19:10 <Kobot> Devar rolled 1d20+17+2+1 evasion and everyone has 20 fire res --> [ 1d20=2 ]{22}
19:13 <•Kotono> roll 1d20 LIza, need to do some emergency math since I deleted her ref save total and didn't realize it, so let me see if it's an obvious pass/fail first.
19:13 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20 LIza, need to do some emergency math since I deleted her ref save total and didn't realize it, so let me see if it's an obvious pass/fail first. --> [ 1d20=8 ]{8}
19:15 <•Kotono> OOC: +13 so 21 before bonuses. Okay.
19:21 <•Kotono> roll 12d10 fire all Skaya full, Sanda full, Anne full, Devar full, Liza full. Owwies all around
19:21 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 12d10 fire all Skaya full, Sanda full, Anne full, Devar full, Liza full. Owwies all around --> [ 12d10=80 ]{80}
19:21 •Kotono set the topic: Skaya: 100/100 (+6 AC, Sanda's bracers of +4CON) Devar 113/113 (15) (-2 str/dex) Anne 23/83 Sanda 0/60 Rina 56/85 (-4 str -3 dex)
19:22 Skaya set the topic: Skaya: 50/100 (+6 AC, Sanda's bracers of +4CON) Devar 113/113 (15) (-2 str/dex) Anne 23/83 Sanda 0/60 Rina 56/85 (-4 str -3 dex)
19:23 Skaya set the topic: Skaya: 50/100 (+6 AC, Sanda's bracers of +4CON) Devar 53/113 (15) (-2 str/dex) Anne 23/83 Sanda 0/60 Rina 56/85 (-4 str -3 dex)
19:25 <•Kotono> The flames come. Hot and devastating, they fill the arena. None of you are fast enough, each of you put to the torch. There's agony, bright and brilliant. Burning everywhere, all of you sizzling. Only Devar's protections prevent worse as you all burn. Screams. Sanda screams, Anne cries out, Liza lets out a curse in Elven. All the party suffers from this, all as..OOC: Anne next with the healing.
19:29 <•Kotono> Anne rushes in now, flying fulls peed. Despite her burns and heated armor, she gets under the aerial dragon and raises her holy symbol, "Can we win this?" she asks, before, "Lady Jetina!" Healing comes, mercy if not nearly enough after that.
19:29 <•Kotono> roll 4d6
19:29 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 4d6 --> [ 4d6=17 ]{17}
19:29 <•Kotono> OOC: 25 healing all but Anne.
19:29 •Kotono set the topic: Skaya: 50/100 (+6 AC, Sanda's bracers of +4CON) Devar 53/113 (15) (-2 str/dex) Anne 23/83 Sanda 25/60 Rina 56/85 (-4 str -3 dex)
19:30 Skaya set the topic: Skaya: 75/100 (+6 AC, Sanda's bracers of +4CON) Devar 78/113 (15) (-2 str/dex) Anne 23/83 Sanda 25/60 Rina 56/85 (-4 str -3 dex)
19:30 — Skaya lowers the arms she crossed in front of her face, now scabbing swiftly under Anne's magic. "We ARE winning this," she insists.
19:31 Skaya set the topic: Skaya: 75/100 (+6 AC, Sanda's bracers of +4CON) Devar 92/113 (-2 str/dex) Anne 23/83 Sanda 25/60 Rina 56/85 (-4 str -3 dex)
19:33 <•Kotono> With healing coming then....OOC: Devar, go.
19:34 <Devar> "Sanda, try some ice magic!" Devar calls out as he takes some more swings at the dragon, hoping his aim is true!
19:35 <Devar> Roll 1d20+19 swing one
19:35 <Kobot> Devar rolled 1d20+19 swing one --> [ 1d20=3 ]{22}
19:35 <Devar> Roll 1d20+14 swing 2
19:35 <Kobot> Devar rolled 1d20+14 swing 2 --> [ 1d20=15 ]{29}
19:39 <•Kotono> Devar can't quite land a blow. IT's close, but the wyrm's scales and protections repel his blade each time. Sanda staggers, horribly off and leaning on her staff. She still raises her hand and chants, an orb of cold flying right at the dragon's center mass.
19:39 <•Kotono> roll 1d20+8 touch AC at least so she has a decent shot
19:39 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+8 touch AC at least so she has a decent shot --> [ 1d20=3 ]{11}
19:41 <•Kotono> Unfortunately, luck is not with Sanda. Her aim is off, the orb soaring low and under the dragon rather than scoring a hit. As it misses, Skaya...OOC: Go Skaya.
19:49 <Skaya> "Eyes on me, Dragon!" Skaya calls out, striking at her opponent anew!
19:50 <Skaya> roll 1d20+19 haste,flanking,liza,anne,gmw
19:50 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+19 haste,flanking,liza,anne,gmw --> [ 1d20=12 ]{31}
19:50 <Skaya> roll 1d20+19 haste,flanking,liza,anne,gmw
19:50 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+19 haste,flanking,liza,anne,gmw --> [ 1d20=4 ]{23}
19:50 <Skaya> roll 1d20+19 haste,flanking,liza,anne,gmw
19:50 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+19 haste,flanking,liza,anne,gmw --> [ 1d20=3 ]{22}
19:50 <Skaya> roll 1d20+14 haste,flanking,liza,anne,gmw
19:50 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+14 haste,flanking,liza,anne,gmw --> [ 1d20=5 ]{19}
19:50 <Skaya> roll 3d6+9+1d8
19:50 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 3d6+9+1d8 --> [ 3d6=11 1d8=1 ]{21}
19:51 <Skaya> OOC: Please confirm if that hit
19:54 <•Kotono> Another blow. It lands, slamming into the wyrm. It's not enough even as it cracks scales across its snout, a direct hit head on as it faces Skaya. OOC: Liza.
19:56 <•Kotono> With her spell ruined by the agony of dragonfire, Liza stumbles back. She fumbles and pulls out a scroll, gasping out arcane words before a gust of cold flies out from her finger, a cone of ice arching up at the dragon's belly.
19:56 <•Kotono> roll 1d20+9 CL check
19:56 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+9 CL check --> [ 1d20=20 ]{29}
19:57 <•Kotono> roll 1d20+17 evasion boo
19:57 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+17 evasion boo --> [ 1d20=4 ]{21}
20:00 <•Kotono> Yet somehow the wyrm twists out of the air in the air, angling just so that its scales deflect the cold rather than succumb to it. The dragon then looks down at the gravely wounded Anne, and in a single word of Draconic demands, "Surrender," to the party.
20:01 <Devar> "Hang on a second, aren't these just memories?" Devar asks. "None of these things have talked before!"
20:05 — Skaya pauses, and glances at the others before asking, "Does this challenge have to be five on one?"
20:06 <•Kotono> You don't get an answer, but the dragon is starting to descend.
20:07 <Skaya> OOC: How do the others look? Do they want to surrender?
20:10 <•Kotono> OOC: Anne and Sanda are obviously badly burned, and Liza's not great off either. Anne looks grim, starting to react while Sanda's in a lot of pain. You have about a second or two IC to do something or not, not really time for any deeper conversation than this.
20:13 <Skaya> "Okay, we're giving up on this challenge," Skaya announces helplessly.
20:14 <•Kotono> The party reappears back where they started. Anne staggers but immediately channels more healing over everyone as the group is reunited. Liza slumps while Sanda lets out a whimpering cry, "That stupid overgrown firebreathing newt!"
20:14 <•Kotono> roll 4d6 healing all
20:14 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 4d6 healing all --> [ 4d6=18 ]{18}
20:14 <•Kotono> OOC: 27 all but anne.
20:14 <•Kotono> OOC: Anne, even.
20:15 <Devar> Devar will heal everyone to help Anne out!
20:15 <•Kotono> "That," Anne coughs, "WAs...aaah..." She holds her holy symbol up again, channeling it further.
20:15 <•Kotono> roll 4d6 healing all again
20:15 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 4d6 healing all again --> [ 4d6=9 ]{9}
20:15 <•Kotono> OOC: 13 all on top of 27.
20:16 <Devar> Roll 3#3d6 healing for Anne mostly here
20:16 <Kobot> Devar rolled 3#3d6 healing for Anne mostly here --> [ 3d6=7 ]{7}, [ 3d6=4 ]{4}, [ 3d6=8 ]{8}

20:19 <•Kotono> Wounds heal. Anne slumps down in releif, sitting on the ground. "Ah. If it's any consolation, you made the right choice, Skaya. I almost did the same instead of rushing under the dragon, because I  knew it was a reckless move."
20:20 <•Kotono> Sanda joins Anne on the floor, "Then why'd you do it?" she asks, as if she can't help herself. Which is probably true, knowing Sanda.
20:20 <Skaya> "It wasn't that strong, given how dragons are," Skaya says with a sigh. "It was just a shame, the small arena played to his strengths." And Anne giving up mentally while healing them just before was probably Skaya's deciding vote to begin with. "Sorry, Liza. I think you lost the most given the scrolls, this time."
20:21 <•Kotono> "It did," Anne says, "And truth be told, it rankles and niggles at me, but our lives are not worth victory agaist memories."
20:21 <•Kotono> Afterwards, to Sanda, "Because I wasn't sure I could surrender, and I had no time or thought to argue with Skaya. I wasn't sure if she needed ot be the one to do it or not, considering the circumstances of how she chose this."
20:22 <•Kotono> Liza huffs out, "Well, at least we've made good treasure here, and I'll take a little extra as recompense."
20:23 <•Kotono> Rina lingers back, "That battle plays to my strengths, particularly if I can be aerial as well," she points out, "And with my defenses augmented as well."
20:23 <Skaya> "Can you be aerial?"
20:23 <•Kotono> "Not burning does have its advantages," Sanda agrees with a weary grimace, "Statistically speaking, it was due to come up."
20:24 <•Kotono> "Not without magic cast beforehand," Rina confesses, "I'm thinking more to the rematch."
20:25 <•Kotono> Anne floats up slowly, righting herself upright through flight. "Hardly an unreasonable request should be prepare for such in the future."
20:25 <•Kotono> *should we
20:29 <•Kotono> Meanwhile, after a little bit of rest, Sanda rises, "So now what?" she asks.
20:30 <Skaya> "I wanted to do another challenge."
20:36 <•Kotono> Skaya looks and sees the following challenges:
20:36 <•Kotono> Battle 1v5, versus Deepdark Clan. Reward: A backpack full of precious ores.
20:36 <•Kotono> Battle 5v1, vs Logan Wyrmsblood. Reward: Staff of the Wyrmsblood.
20:37 <Skaya> "I want to fight against the Deepdark Clan," Skaya tells the others, recasting False Life. "Any objections?"
20:37 <Skaya> roll 1d10+8
20:37 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d10+8 --> [ 1d10=10 ]{18}
20:37 Skaya set the topic: Skaya: 18+100/100 (+6 AC, Sanda's bracers of +4CON) Devar 113/113 (-2 str/dex) Anne 78/83 Sanda 60/60 Rina 85/85 (-4 str -3 dex)
20:38 <•Kotono> Anne gives Skaya a weary look, "It's your choice," She says, "But perhaps it would be wise to accept our victories for now and move on, rather than court one more chance for misfortune to strike at us?"
20:38 <•Kotono> "On the other hand, an entire backpack full of ores," Sanda counters, "That's not nothing."
20:39 <Skaya> "No, I just really want to hit someone."
20:39 <•Kotono> Anne clears her throat, starts to speak but thinks better of it.
20:39 <•Kotono> "Theraputic violence," Petrove laughs lowly, "When your fists do all the work for your heart."
20:40 <Skaya> "The path of kicking people isn't wrong," Skaya insists. "Just watch!"
20:40 <Skaya> OOC: Anne's spell was Heroism, right? That would still be up, unlike Prayer.
20:41 <•Kotono> OOC: Good Hope.
20:41 <Skaya> OOC: Still up! Okay. Let's fight@!
20:44 <•Kotono> With that everyone else appears in the stands. Anne relaxes back with a groan, while Sanda adds to Devar, "Dragons," in a tone of annoyance, "I'm more than a little annoyed."
20:44 <Skaya> Thinking dark thoughts, Skaya prepares to let out all of her anger. It's not good to keep it within!
20:45 <Devar> "I'm still not convinced it was just a memory simulacrum." He says. "But we can try again."
20:45 <•Kotono> Meanwhile down below, in a moment Skaya appears. She's surrounded, five armored and helmeted dwarves, short for dwarvenkind, surround her on all sides in a loose circle. They're all 15ft away, each one with a vicious looking axe in their hands.  OOC: Init.
20:45 <Skaya> roll 1d20+15
20:45 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+15 --> [ 1d20=19 ]{34}

20:47 <•Kotono> OOC: Go.
20:48 <Skaya> A loose circle, is it? Skaya picks one of them and suddenly appears before him, striking with all her strength! She'll definitely reduce their numbers in this attack!
20:48 <•Kotono> "Neither am I, but it's interesting," Sanda admits, voice warming as she watches. She adds in a, "Go Skaya," cheer, before, "Or maybe they're really good memories?"

20:49 <•Kotono> Init is Skaya (34) > The Deepdark Clanx4 (9)
20:50 <•Kotono> Skaya's blazingly fast, and mere armor is far less compared to dragonscale. That one lets out a cry of alarm as he's pummeled down into an unmoving heap, before the other four close in on you. They move with easy coordination, axes coming down as you're attacked by two, the other two moving to flank you.

20:56 <•Kotono> Yet none of them can scratch her so protected. She blocks, parries and weaves between the axe strikes. Sure she's surorunded now, but she's also untouched. OOC: Go.
20:56 <Skaya> There are two opponents now, not one, but perhaps-- Skaya decides to attack both, one after the other!

20:58 <Skaya> OOC: Travel devotion's move
21:00 <•Kotono> Skaya dances back, weaving between them. They're fast but not fast enough, letting her get away as the back two, untouched, now charge her dead on. The two injured ones loop around this time, as...
21:00 <•Kotono> roll 1d20+20 (+2 charge, +2 ???)

21:01 <•Kotono> OOC: Sorry, strike, I had a braindead moment.
21:02 <•Kotono> Blows come, fast and heavy. Two of them slam one of the attacking ones, knocking them down and out. Skaya dances back, weaving between them. They're fast but not fast enough, letting her get away as the back two, untouched, now charge her dead on. The last one loops around this time, as...
21:02 <•Kotono> OOC: Attacks whiff, so you're up, Skaya.
21:03 <Skaya> Once more, she finds herself assaulted by two dwarves and focuses on them in order!

21:04 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+11+7 inspiration --> [ 1d20=2 ]{20}
21:04 — Skaya dodges back again afterwards, since they might be specialized for flanking and she wants to avoid giving benefits to the enemy.
21:06 <•Kotono> Skaya can't land a blow that time but she dances around, getting charged again. They just can't seem to close in and keep up with her fast enough, not able to lock in. They let out furious cries but keep pushing, as...
21:06 <•Kotono> roll 1d20+20 (+2 charge, +2 ???)

21:06 <•Kotono> Which does them no good at all, stills winging at empty air as Skaya sidesteps.
21:06 <Skaya> Alright, let's try to focus a bit better. Let's aim carefully....

21:09 <Skaya> "Perhaps, surrender?" Skaya offers then.
21:09 <•Kotono> This time Skaya strikes again and again. Her blows knock all but one down, leaving only one dwarf still up. Alone and desperate, he charges in as the others fall, wasting no time and not paying any heed to Skaya's offer.
21:09 <•Kotono> roll 1d20+20 devoted at least
21:09 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+20 devoted at least --> [ 1d20=14 ]{34}
21:09 <•Kotono> Which doesn't work any better than before, a swing that misses entirely.
21:09 <•Kotono> OOC: Go.
21:09 — Skaya meets him head on!

21:10 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 3d6+8+1d8 #2 --> [ 3d6=10 1d8=5 ]{23}
21:10 <•Kotono> With a few more blows, the last is knocked down and out. The party reappears where they were, a large, bulging backpack now sitting on the ground next to the group. OOC: Free act. Ow.
21:11 <Skaya> "It was nice to pretend to be a dragon," Skaya muses, brushing imaginary dust off her hands.
21:11 <•Kotono> Sanda goes to the pack and checks it, "It's ore. Unprocessed, but it looks promising."
21:13 <•Kotono> "That'll help with the scroll expenses," Anne concludes, "Do you feel better, Skaya?"
21:13 <Skaya> "Let's spend a few minutes discussing fiery dragons?" Skaya proposes, her anger properly vented. "If the lava dragon returns and wants a fight, we absolutely have to have better distance from it. And we'll need two dedicated healers instead of just one."
21:16 <•Kotono> "In a real sense, that battle was a blessing. We know we need better healing and defenses against fire," Anne concludes, "As well as more water and cold magic."
21:16 <•Kotono> "Anne's one, who can be the other?" Rina asks, curious sounding.
21:16 <Skaya> "Devar and I could do it," Skaya muses. "Liza, how about you? Any preferences?"
21:17 <•Kotono> "I'll prepare better for it, so I can join Sanda," Liza counters, a small sniff, "More cold magic will lay that wyrm low."
21:18 <•Kotono> "Optimistic, but not a wrong approach," Anne reckons.
21:18 <Devar_> "I'm good for plentiful but not particularly strong healing." Devar says. "At least right now, anyway. It'd be good to have ways to pierce or dispel magic. I can handle dispelling for the most part, but it still comes down to some luck with the Weave."
21:18 <Skaya> "How about earth magic for obstacles?" Skaya voices. "If that expanding fire breath were stopped, or we had some barricades to hide behind, we wouldn't have needed to give up."
21:21 <•Kotono> "Less effective if it's aerial, but even some cover makes it far less devastating,"Anne reasons, "The raw ability to sweep the battlefield was deadly."
21:21 <•Kotono> "Earth magic works," Liza agrees, "Even a simple earten embankment to blunt the worst of it could be vital."
21:22 <Skaya> "It looked ugly and humiliating, but I guess if it wins you the fight you're the only one around afterwards...."
21:22 <•Kotono> "
21:22 <•Kotono> "Ugly and humiliating combined with a win is like ugliness combined with wealth for a man. The latter washes away the former," Anne says primly.
21:23 <Skaya> "But Anne, there is a big difference here," Skaya tells her seriously. "We're still around. So his legend will forever be tainted by our recollection of the battle. And of his ultimate attack, which reminded me of a dog marking everything in the area while spinning."
21:23 <•Kotono> Sanda blinks at that statement, but Rina chuckles, "Enough gold can make the foulest face fair, at least to some."
21:24 <Devar_> "I can create an enormous amount of water." Devar says. "I'm not sure that helps us any, but it's there."
21:24 <•Kotono> "As a counter," Rina suggests, "And you know what? I thought it looked nice, Skaya."
21:24 <Skaya> "Next time you're the one getting marked."
21:25 <•Kotono> A chuckle or two from the party, but meanwhile? "As for pressing matters, are you going to stay down ehre longer?"
21:26 <•Kotono> "It has been several days," Anne points out, "We shouldn't tarry forever, no matter how amusing a diversion this is."
21:26 <Skaya> "Let's return for now-- actually, let's try to brew alcohol again, and then drag ourselves back to Mellanics? It's important to see if those experiences can be repeated."
21:27 <•Kotono> "Water, earth," Sanda reckons it, "I like that idea, Devar. If we can employ it properly, though steam can still scald."
21:28 <Devar_> "Dumping water on it when it's breathing fire would be interesting if nothing else. Bonus points if we can somehow make it freezing water."
21:29 <•Kotono> Sanda considers that quietly, "Maybe it...and if...the odds are..." sh emutters to herself, lost in thought.
21:29 <•Kotono> Anne side eyes Sanda, clears her throat and says, "Let's move and talk, and see if we can repeat that?"
21:31 <Skaya> "Thank you for being so helpful," Skaya tells the statue, and then leads the way to brew!
21:40 → Devar joined  ⇐ Devar_ quit 
21:47 <•Kotono> With that, the party returns to the brewery. On a glance, it's how they left it. Nothing odd has changed there at all.
21:47 <Skaya> "Let's try again!" Skaya tells Liza. It's a second chance! Probably!
21:49 <Devar> Maybe the dwarves want them to succeed? "If this works, we should try mining again."
21:49 <•Kotono> The party gets to brewing. They try, but this time it quickly becomes apparently that nothing special happens. At least not like before.
21:49 <Skaya> "So it really is a once in a lifetime opportunity, outside the arena," Skaya says in disappointment. "Alright, then. Let's go to Mellanics?"
21:50 <Devar> "I'll identify the stuff on the way." Devar says.
21:54 <•Kotono> OOC: Okay, it's about time and you want to ID stuff, Devar?
21:54 <Devar> OOC: yar
21:55 <•Kotono> OOC: Just magically IDing the magical stuff that's all magic?
21:55 <Devar> OOC: magical stuff and non magical, Identify/spellcraft for 31, appraise for 26 for the non magical stuff. I can be a merchant too, Sanda!
21:58 <•Kotono> OOC: Okay, I will do those in a bit, but I'm going to rest a little bit before hand. Stoneblade's a magic sword, obviously.
21:58 <Devar> OOC: imagine that!
