Knight Was Wrong

[Dracos]

Dec 08 19:25:21 <Kotono>   The road you find is tucked away in an alley by a wall, easy to miss. The walls are thick and heavy here, stone so hard and thick that your footsteps echo as you walk. For about half a day you travel, th estone slowly darkening but becoming less thick and strong. As you walk...OOC: Would you make a listen check, Kamvakua?
Dec 08 19:25:55 <Kamvakua>   roll 1d20+9
Dec 08 19:25:56 <Hatbot>   
ACTION --> "Kamvakua rolls 1d20+9 and gets 13." [1d20=4]
Dec 08 19:26:49 <Kotono>   OOC: Make a listen check Mari, and make a spot check Kam?
Dec 08 19:27:04 *   Kamvakua rolls 1d20+9
Dec 08 19:27:07 <Mari>   roll 1d20+11
Dec 08 19:27:09 <Hatbot>   
ACTION --> "Mari rolls 1d20+11 and gets 31." [1d20=20]
Dec 08 19:27:09 <Kamvakua>   roll 1d20+9
Dec 08 19:27:10 <Hatbot>   
ACTION --> "Kamvakua rolls 1d20+9 and gets 21." [1d20=12]
Dec 08 19:28:54 <Mari>   "Don't want to alarm anyone," Mari says quietly, just with enough force to be heard by the group as a whole, "but something's digging somewhere underneath us."
Dec 08 19:29:59 <Adail>   "There's probably digging of sorts going on at various points on this plane at all times. Should we just keep going and keep our ears open?"
Dec 08 19:30:06 <Kamvakua>   "They're right under us," Kamvakua stepped aside, pointing with his spear as he readied himself just in case.
Dec 08 19:30:09 *   Nikkolai says wryly, "Saying that you don't want to alarm anyone then saying something alarming doesn't work very well, you know." She's sure to keep quiet, though.
Dec 08 19:30:59 *   Mari draws her blades, just in case, and keeps a close eye for signs of anything tunneling out nearby.
Dec 08 19:31:20 <Knight>   "I struggle to call this a coincidence, give the size of this plane," mutters Knight, glancing over her shoulder at the ground.
Dec 08 19:32:31 *   Adail nods, but doesn't say anything else.
Dec 08 19:32:33 <Kotono>   More rills appear beneath the ground! Several of them, springing up where you were walking ands tarting to divert towards the party again.
Dec 08 19:36:49 <Kotono>   The rills stop...and for a moment, nothing happens! Then one of them breaks! A strange green creature with several arms pokes out...you know this creature! It is a Xorn, battled before. Yet it is far smaller than the one you previously encountered.
Dec 08 19:37:49 *   Adail eyes the creature and asks in Terran, "...yes?"
Dec 08 19:38:12 <Kamvakua>   "Spread out, we don't know how many are underground."  Kamvakua readied to stab the Xorn, but waited as Adail spoke with it.
Dec 08 19:39:48 <Kotono>   The Xorn looks to Adail, it's maw echoing out grunting Terran! "Looking for Dao."
Dec 08 19:40:27 *   You are now known as Kamvakua
Dec 08 19:40:39 <Adail>   Adail frowns, "What in the Earth would you want with those brutes?"
Dec 08 19:41:41 <Kotono>   "Food." So answering that with another grunt, "Want food they have."
Dec 08 19:42:05 *   Adail looks over at Kam, knowing he speaks this language as well, "Frankly, I'm horrible with directions on this plane. Think you can point it towards them?"
Dec 08 19:42:22 <Knight>   roll 1d20+1
Dec 08 19:42:23 <Hatbot>   
ACTION --> "Knight rolls 1d20+1 and gets 3." [1d20=2]
Dec 08 19:42:25 <Nikkolai>   roll 1d20 listen
Dec 08 19:42:26 <Hatbot>   
ACTION --> "Nikkolai rolls 1d20 listen and gets 10." [1d20=10]
Dec 08 19:42:43 <Adail>   "Also, out of curiosity what is it you Xorn eat? Not meat, I hope..."
Dec 08 19:42:49 *   Kamvakua nods, giving the Xorn directions toward the Dao city in fluent terran, and pointing the way.
Dec 08 19:42:59 <Mari>   roll 1d20+11 again
Dec 08 19:43:00 <Hatbot>   
ACTION --> "Mari rolls 1d20+11 again and gets 31." [1d20=20]
Dec 08 19:43:03 <Kamvakua>   "Not meat, otherwise he'd be trying to eat us."
Dec 08 19:43:47 <Kotono>   "Minerals. Food. Gems. MEtal." Each grunt is more, as the Xorn looks to Kamvakua with it's alien body. "Where?"
Dec 08 19:44:12 <Adail>   "Ah, and when you get there, be careful. They sleep in the same room they keep all that stuff in."
Dec 08 19:44:18 *   Mari turns around to look out for this new source of digging she hears.
Dec 08 19:47:17 <Kotono>   Mari can see digging rills behind the party and into the wall.
Dec 08 19:48:02 <Mari>   "Guys, he's got friends...Whatever you're telling him to make him not eat us, please keep it up. You'll need the practice."
Dec 08 19:50:08 <Kotono>   The Xorn plunges back into the Earth at that, burrowing down and away.
Dec 08 19:51:19 *   Kamvakua gestures to head onward, keeping eyes out for more Xorn in the walls and floor.
Dec 08 19:51:22 <Knight>   "What did you tell them, anyway?" asks Knight, sheathing her sword and reaching to pick up the dropped torch.
Dec 08 19:51:36 <Adail>   "It wanted to know where the Dao were so it could eat thier treasure."
Dec 08 19:52:02 *   Nikkolai is rather silent tonight, keeping an eye on his...er, her surroundings.
Dec 08 19:52:18 *   Mari smiles a toothy orc grin. "Maybe those things aren't so bad after all, then."
Dec 08 19:54:03 <Kamvakua>   "They are, but not for us today," Kamvakua nodded.
Dec 08 19:55:16 <Kotono>   Thus the party continues on. The need for rest comes, the party needing to make camp several hours later down the tunnel. The rock hasn't changed much, the path continuing.
Dec 08 19:57:47 <Kotono>   roll 1d100
Dec 08 19:57:48 <Hatbot>   
ACTION --> "Kotono rolls 1d100 and gets 32." [1d100=32]
Dec 08 19:58:32 <Kotono>   The night passes without incident. Thus the party rises the next 'morning'. You find that the rock becomes warmer as you walk, the air starting to go from cool and musty to warm and musty as you travel along to the half-day mark or so.
Dec 08 19:59:50 <Mari>   "Figure we're getting close," Mari says. "Some planes, they change a little around portals."
Dec 08 20:00:12 *   Nikkolai absentmindedly fans her hot loli body in the hopes of cooling down.
Dec 08 20:00:23 *   Adail nods, "I'm sure the hot air can move through the portal just as easily as a person can."
Dec 08 20:01:27 <Knight>   "That is a relief, since some portals are quite adverse to being used," remarks Knight. She wipes the top of her head with a damp towel, already soaked through with sweat.
Dec 08 20:01:55 *   Adail passes out Endure Elements spells.
Dec 08 20:02:40 <Kotono>   As the magics are wrought, the temperatures become far more bearable. The heat is suddenly only a minor concern, held flawlessly at bay.
Dec 08 20:03:00 *   Kamvakua does as well.
Dec 08 20:05:24 <Kotono>   After about another hour of travel...OOC: Could you make a spot check, Knight?
Dec 08 20:05:32 <Knight>   roll 1d20+1 ah, that thing that I do!
Dec 08 20:05:33 <Hatbot>   
ACTION --> "Knight rolls 1d20+1 ah, that thing that I do! and gets 3." [1d20=2]
Dec 08 20:08:06 <Kotono>   Ahead, the party notices something about sixty feet away, heading towards you. Lizardlike creatures of flame, with spears in hand. It looks to be six of them, each one about the size of a human. They're heading right your way.
Dec 08 20:09:07 <Nikkolai>   OOC: Roll K:p?
Dec 08 20:09:25 <Knight>   "Ho there!" calls Knight, drawing to a halt about thirty feet away from the creatures. "Friend or foe?"
Dec 08 20:09:47 <Kotono>   OOC: If you guys like, sure Nikkolai.
Dec 08 20:09:58 *   Kamvakua holds his pike ready just in case, not having been to this corner of the planes before, though knowing that strange creatures could as oft be friendly as violent and dangerous.
Dec 08 20:10:00 <Nikkolai>   roll 1d20+8 K:P
Dec 08 20:10:01 <Hatbot>   
ACTION --> "Nikkolai rolls 1d20+8 K:P and gets 27." [1d20=19]
Dec 08 20:10:24 *   Knight is now known as Nao
Dec 08 20:10:24 <Mari>   roll 1d20+10 K:P sure let's see what Mari knows
Dec 08 20:10:25 <Hatbot>   
ACTION --> "Mari rolls 1d20+10 K:P sure let's see what Mari knows and gets 26." [1d20=16]

Dec 08 20:11:16 <Hatbot>   
ACTION --> "Adail rolls 1d20+8 KP and gets 25." [1d20=17]
Dec 08 20:12:52 <Kotono>   They stop at thirty feet, "Goliath?" It looks to Kamvakua dead on, speaking Common.
Dec 08 20:13:26 *   Mari stops and stands ready for trouble, hoping there won't be any but prepared just in case.
Dec 08 20:14:59 *   Kamvakua eyes the creatures and nods, returning first in Gol-kaa, "You know of us?"  and then repeating again in common, "Yes, I am a Goliath."
Dec 08 20:18:17 <Kotono>   "Yeah," The Salamander continues in Common, "You know a human spellslinger and a human with a touch of air in her?"
Dec 08 20:19:38 <Kamvakua>   "I've crossed the way of some that may fit that description, why do you ask?" He returned.
Dec 08 20:20:51 <Kotono>   "Our business," With a look, the salamander takes out a cloth sack. It jingles with metal, "Know 'em?"
Dec 08 20:23:37 <Kamvakua>   1d20+11 sense motive
Dec 08 20:23:39 <Hatbot>   
ACTION --> "Kamvakua rolls 1d20+11 sense motive and gets 27." [1d20=16]
Dec 08 20:25:17 <Kamvakua>   "I've met a human like you describe, but why are you offering me coin?  It seems a strange thing," He raised an eyebrow, playing off the different customs of planars.  "Do you want directions to them?"
Dec 08 20:25:44 <Kotono>   "Yeah." Jingling the bag again, "Want some free coin? Tell me where they're at."
Dec 08 20:29:34 *   Kamvakua shrugs.  "The last I saw of a human who had a draft of air about them, they were in the earth plane, which you can reach going through there," He pointed at the nearby portal.  "I believe she was upsetting the Dao, but that is not my business.  I'm not sure if this is worth your coin," He shrugged, seeming to feel bad about it really.  "I hope it helps you along."
Dec 08 20:32:48 <Kamvakua>   OOC: Remove line above
Dec 08 20:33:34 *   Kamvakua shrugs.  "The last I saw of a human who had a draft of air about them was several days ago," He pointed far back.  "I believe she was upsetting the Dao, but that is not my business.  Knowing them, she may not exactly be herself anymore.  I'm not sure if this is worth your coin," He shrugged, seeming to feel bad about it really.  "I hope it helps you along."
Dec 08 20:35:48 <Kotono>   The bag is tossed at Kam's feet, "Don't let anyone say that the Redfire Brigade doesn't treat smart ones right." With a nod, the salamander and company head along past the party.
Dec 08 20:37:07 *   Nikkolai mutters under her breath, "Reptilian git. Hope he chokes on a Dao's blade."
Dec 08 20:37:41 <Kotono>   roll 1d20+8
Dec 08 20:37:42 <Hatbot>   
ACTION --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+8 and gets 18." [1d20=10]
Dec 08 20:37:58 <Kotono>   One of the salamanders glances back at Nikkolai, eyeing the girl.
Dec 08 20:38:20 *   Kamvakua waits for them to leave, staying quiet until they're well out of sight, gesturing the others further along as he picks up the  bag.
Dec 08 20:38:43 *   Nikkolai schools her features into the perfect mask of innocence, attempting to look as dumb as only a little girl can.
Dec 08 20:39:04 *   Mari makes a show of being ready to cuff the bratty child. "What I tell you about speaking out of turn?"
Dec 08 20:39:52 <Kotono>   OOC: Make a bluff check, Mari?
Dec 08 20:40:00 <Mari>   roll 1d20+11
Dec 08 20:40:01 <Hatbot>   
ACTION --> "Mari rolls 1d20+11 and gets 12." [1d20=1]
Dec 08 20:40:26 <Kotono>   roll 1d20+2
Dec 08 20:40:26 <Hatbot>   
ACTION --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+2 and gets 15." [1d20=13]
Dec 08 20:44:57 <Kotono>   There is a long moment, "Hey boss. Think we should kill 'em," The salamander says casually, "Girl's not talking like a girl, you hear?"
Dec 08 20:47:14 <Mari>   "Stupid girl have no manners. I beat her, teach her respect!" Mari says. She fixes a critical eye on the 'girl.' "Not enough, will do more when home."
Dec 08 20:47:50 *   Nikkolai speaks up in a piping voice! "But orc lady, I dinna do nuttin'!"
Dec 08 20:47:54 *   Nikkolai quivers her lower lip.
Dec 08 20:48:19 <Knight>   Knight's lips twitch from a disgruntled frown into flat line, and she puts a hand to her sword with a faint clink.
Dec 08 20:48:22 *   Adail , still looking like a large rat, wanders behind Knight and raises Protection from Evil(spell like) in case of fight breaking out.
Dec 08 20:49:25 <Mari>   "Did too!" Mari smacks Nikki across the head (lightly, but enough to look like an act of discipline). "Heard you. Apologize to them, they gave us money."
Dec 08 20:50:08 <Kotono>   The boss salamander turns and saunters back, eyeing Nikkolai dead on.
Dec 08 20:50:34 *   Nikkolai looks up, wide eyed at the boss salamander.
Dec 08 20:50:38 *   Knight interposes herself between the little girl and the salamander, letting one hand linger on her sword. "You're scaring the child," she informs the boss, rather curtly.
Dec 08 20:51:06 <Kotono>   OOC: Go ahead and try a bluff check, Nikkolai?
Dec 08 20:52:16 <Nikkolai>   roll 1d20+21 I almost don't want to do this so I can fight.
Dec 08 20:52:16 <Hatbot>   
ACTION --> "Nikkolai rolls 1d20+21 I almost don't want to do this so I can fight. and gets 29." [1d20=8]
Dec 08 20:52:26 <Kotono>   roll 1d20+2
Dec 08 20:52:27 <Hatbot>   
ACTION --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+2 and gets 8." [1d20=6]
Dec 08 20:54:03 <Kotono>   The salamander smirks now, smoke hissing from it's nostrils. "Cute kid."
Dec 08 20:56:22 <Nikkolai>   "Gee mister, you're so flicker-y!" Nikki continues to stare up at the reptile, wide eyed.
Dec 08 20:56:54 <Mari>   "What I thought. Found girl in ruins after raid, though 'Looks cute.' Looks cute not always mean act cute, though."
Dec 08 20:57:23 <Kotono>   With a grunt the salamander makes a gesturea nd walks away, the rest of the brood following him as they head the way the party came.
Dec 08 20:58:13 *   Kamvakua gestures for quiet as he points ahead, wanting a little distance.
Dec 08 20:58:57 *   Nikkolai silently sticks out her tongue at their backs before starting along the path again.
Dec 08 20:59:07 *   Adail skitters along the path.
Dec 08 20:59:57 *   Mari waits until they're well away from the salamanders before speaking. "What in the hells is wrong with you, 'Nikki'?" she hisses. "It's your own business if you want to get yourself killed, but try not to drag me into it?"
Dec 08 21:00:17 <Knight>   Once away from the salamander, Knight turns back towards the way they come. "They seem to know of us, with what seems to be ill intent," she says, flexing her fingers. "It might be possible to ambush them."
Dec 08 21:01:00 *   Nikkolai shrugs at Mari. "It was not my intention to be overheard. How was I to know that they heard so well?"
Dec 08 21:01:13 <Nikkolai>   "I intensely dislike reptiles."
Dec 08 21:01:35 *   Nikkolai curls her lips in distaste at the thought of the slimy creatures.
Dec 08 21:02:26 <Adail>   "That is a possibility, yes. And I should like to know who set them upon our trail with coin to spare for bribes."
Dec 08 21:02:51 <Kamvakua>   "It is possible.  But I am not sure it is wise, unless we seek to abandon our current job.  They were well trained.  If we fight them, even by ambush, we may not all walk away."  Kamvakua spoke with caution.  "If we are to ambush them, we should be ready for a hard fight, and prepared to deal with their strengths."
Dec 08 21:03:27 <Mari>   "They're not all that bad," Mari says. "But few react well to insults. Anyway, I'm with Kam here. We've got a job to do, let's take care of it before looking for more trouble."
Dec 08 21:03:46 <Nikkolai>   "I'd like to know why the orc and myself are so popular suddenly. But yes, I agree. The job comes first."
Dec 08 21:04:14 <Mari>   "Well, you're just so charming that everyone wants a piece of you."
Dec 08 21:04:34 <Knight>   "Trouble is looking for us," replies Knight, frowning. "I'd put our safety ahead of someone else's task, and worry that another opportunity won't present itself."
Dec 08 21:04:47 <Nikkolai>   "It's obvious that they want you for you looks." Nikki looks Mari up and down in a pointed manner.
Dec 08 21:05:29 <Nikkolai>   "There's a saying, Knight, that says that we should not look for trouble, no matter how hard it should look for us."
Dec 08 21:05:46 <Knight>   "There's another saying, which is that trouble deferred is returned with interest."
Dec 08 21:06:06 <Mari>   "Don't make me want to hit you more than I already do, Nikki. I'm a lot bigger than you are right now."
Dec 08 21:06:43 <Nikkolai>   "If you have a plan, I'll listen to it. Otherwise, we need to get in and get out."
Dec 08 21:07:20 <Adail>   "Unless I misremember, we were not given a critical timetable to complete Granny Tam's request in. We can deal with the salamanders and then return to the task at hand."
Dec 08 21:07:29 <Kamvakua>   "I am split in this matter, but regardless, then was not the best opportunity to fight them."
Dec 08 21:07:49 <Knight>   "Adail is small, and you can see in the dark," replies Knight, gesturing towards the path ahead. "These caves are quite linear. It would be easy for you to track them without being seen, and I have some chalk- you can mark the path we must take. When they rest- they do rest, I hope- then you can regroup with us."
Dec 08 21:08:06 <Knight>   "Then we can plan a surprise attack. I don't believe they carried bows..."
Dec 08 21:08:51 *   Mari frowns, csonidering. "If there's a good plan for dealing with this, maybe."
Dec 08 21:09:13 *   Adail nods. "A simple plan. Follow at a fair distance so I don't have to go as far to come back and get you?"
Dec 08 21:10:43 <Knight>   "Yes, though we can't let them spot us- perhaps ten minutes or so ahead?" asks Knight, chewing her lip.
Dec 08 21:11:12 <Adail>   "That sounds a fair distance to me."
Dec 08 21:13:51 *   Adail looks around, "Are Knight and I the only ones in favor of this?"
Dec 08 21:13:54 <Mari>   "If we can catch them unawares...fine," she sighs, relenting. "Can we see what's in that bag first?"
Dec 08 21:14:46 *   Nikkolai shrugs. "It sounds like a decent enough plan. Let's hope it works."
Dec 08 21:14:48 <Kamvakua>   "It should be sufficient," He nodded.  "Be ready all of you.  We're not facing rowdy beasts."  He picked up the bag and handed it to Mari to take a look.
Dec 08 21:15:07 *   Mari opens the bag to see what kind of payoff the salamanders gave.
Dec 08 21:15:39 <Adail>   "Very well then. I'll tail them quietly and keep a chalk line going. If you see any circlesin teh line, that means they're slowing thier pace and you should do the same so you don't get closer then you want."
Dec 08 21:15:56 <Kotono>   There's a small pile of gold, silver and copper coins inside.
Dec 08 21:16:15 *   Adail holds a paw out for Knight to hand him the chalk and is ready to go. They're getting further away every moment.
Dec 08 21:16:31 *   Knight starts to hand Adail the chalk, but thinks for a moment, and then snaps it in half to give him a more suitable piece.
Dec 08 21:17:46 *   Adail takes both halves, tucks one into his sack, then starts on his way. Being all sneaky liek while keeping up a chalk line. And being very careful of the noise made by the chalk.
Dec 08 21:18:33 <Kotono>   OOC: What's your movement speed, Adail?
Dec 08 21:18:55 <Adail>   OOC: 30ft
Dec 08 21:20:14 <Kotono>   Thus Adail hurries ahead while the party advances behind him! After about three hours of walking, Adail finally catches up with them! They've all sat down in a loose circle, in dicussion. The fires they shed slightly stands out in Earth, making them easy enough for Adail tos ee as he gets closer.
Dec 08 21:21:01 *   Adail has a couple minutes still, so he listens for a moment before retreating to the rest of his party.
Dec 08 21:22:18 <Kotono>   OOC: Go ahead and make listne real quick?
Dec 08 21:22:33 <Adail>   roll 1d20+15
Dec 08 21:22:34 <Hatbot>   
ACTION --> "Adail rolls 1d20+15 and gets 32." [1d20=17]
Dec 08 21:25:38 <Kotono>   They're chatting away about something - quarry, Adail thinks. Quarry and tracking down a bounty. No other sound or movement.
Dec 08 21:27:05 *   Adail is fairly certain that would be us, and stealths back down the tunnel to the rest of the party.
Dec 08 21:27:25 <Adail>   roll 1d20+16 MS if needed
Dec 08 21:27:26 <Hatbot>   
ACTION --> "Adail rolls 1d20+16 MS if needed and gets 35." [1d20=19]
Dec 08 21:27:32 <Kotono>   Adail meets back with the party without incident, finding them intact and unmolested. OOC: Ball's in your courts
Dec 08 21:27:52 <Kamvakua>   "Have they stopped?"
Dec 08 21:28:10 <Adail>   "Yes. They're sitting in a circle and discussing a bounty."
Dec 08 21:28:28 *   Adail tiwtches his nose and looks over to Nikkolai, "I don't suppose you have the Mage Armor spell, do you?"
Dec 08 21:28:42 <Knight>   "What is the terrain like?" asks Knight. "Do they have a clear line of sight to all approaches?"
Dec 08 21:29:05 *   Nikkolai nods at Adail. "I do, in fact."
Dec 08 21:30:05 <Adail>   "Excellent. And it seems they do. Like I said, sitting in a circle, so they're basically looking every direction, even if it is over the head of the one on the other side of the circle."
Dec 08 21:30:35 <Mari>   "Get them distracted somehow, looking the other way, then hit them?"
Dec 08 21:30:45 <Nikkolai>   "I can deal with that. I'll create a distraction with sound, ensuring their backs are to us."
Dec 08 21:31:11 <Adail>   "And the terrain is much like it is here. Fairly flat, fairly open for this plane."
