The party takes shelter in a cave inhabited by a dragon, is attacked by a mysterious opponent, and is then faced with an ultimatum from goblins upon reaching the forest; come with us or die. The goblins defeat the party and take them prisoner.

Albrecht: excellent
Nikolai: in case that was relevant
DM of Gaia: Yo
Albrecht: I has a story to tell.
Nikolai: a story eh
Albrecht: yeah
Boris: I have sweet corn from jersey, the best there is. Screw
your pork
Albrecht: the other game made it to Oleshie yesterday
Nikolai: o rly
Albrecht: first we met the riders of Ataman Ozgur, who we paid :(
Albrecht: that is, the gnoll ambush with well-timed intervention
by Cumans
Albrecht: which our party avoided talking to due to sandstorm
Sven: hah
Albrecht: then we charmed the men of Ataman Murat
Albrecht: then, we had to talk to Danil and Anastas.
Nikolai: this seems backwards
DM of Gaia: Don't forget that you passed through the lands of Ataman
Koray
Albrecht: We put the pixie in a cage and called her a recent
acquisition
DM of Gaia: And the settlement of Ain Jalut
Nikolai: but I guess they decided to go overland
Albrecht: we were going to Oleshie from Kiev... this party is
going the other way
Nikolai: whereas we sailed
Nikolai: yes.
Albrecht: also is on the first trip south
Nikolai: so sandy how are you dealing with having someone who has
gone through encounters already in the other group
DM of Gaia: Adam's doing a fine job of not metagaming
Albrecht: beating me senseless if I metagame.
DM of Gaia: And I commend him
Nikolai: ah, beatings
Nikolai: I see
Albrecht: also, Larissa is now charged with sinking the Silver
Lion.
Nikolai: haha
Nikolai: ok well that was a good story
Sven: hah.
Albrecht: I strongly suggested the use of a 5-headed not a hydra.
Nikolai: damn not a hydras
DM of Da: So
DM of Da: Over in this parallel reality
Albrecht: we basically determined that we're looking for the
caravan that in this party's universe we looted.
Nikolai: heh
Nikolai: you find it strangely looted
Nikolai: HMMM
Albrecht: well no
Nikolai: too bad oliver has teh loot sheet :p
Albrecht: parallel universes
Nikolai: I know
Nikolai: still strangely looted!
Albrecht: but it will be interesting discovering the fake attack
Nikolai: <_<
Nikolai: >_>
Nikolai: By some unrelated guys
Boris: wait, what now?
DM of Da: Totally unrelated
Nikolai: named Bikolai and Basily and Doris
Nikolai: and Zven
Albrecht: and Varissa?
Nikolai: and Deadircles
Nikolai: no, Varissa never existed
Boris: im confused
Nikolai: PARALLEL UNIVERSES REMEMBER
Nikolai: <_<
Nikolai: >_>
DM of Da: Anyway
Boris: there another game going on or some such?
*** Boris shrugs
Nikolai: yes
DM of Da: Yeah
Nikolai: sandy's running it on saturdays
DM of Da: There's a live game going on in the same campaign world
Nikolai: with the same campaign material
DM of Da: Yes
Boris: fun
DM of Da: So
DM of Da: Back to reality
DM of Da: Before I paradox you all in the face
Albrecht: back to this reality :P
DM of Da: Hey you know I just got an idea
DM of Da: Heh heh
DM of Da: Ok anyway
Nikolai: uh oh
DM of Da: Over here
DM of Da: We were fighting a draon
DM of Da: draon = dragon
DM of Da: we = you
DM of Gaia: .
Sven: :(
DM of Da: Gaia = lagged
DM of Da: ffs.
DM of Da: Anyways
DM of Da: Let me bring up a map
DM of Da: And remind you guys what's going on
DM of Da:
http://127.0.0.1/~obormot/beyond_ragnarok/maps/set_2/cave_2.jpg
DM of Da: That is teh map
DM of Da: If you will recall
Sven: uhhh
DM of Da: er
DM of Da: Whoops
DM of Da: I wonder why it...
Nikolai: hahah
DM of Da: Resolved the address that way...
Sven: what's funny is that I actually tried that before I
noticed you fucked up.
DM of Da: Hmmm
Nikolai: fail less
Nikolai: also replace 127 with obormot.ath.cx
DM of Da: Let's try that again
DM of Da:
http://obormot.ath.cx/~obormot/beyond_ragnarok/maps/set_2/cave_2.jpg
Nikolai: also
Nikolai: Siegfried: yeah
Nikolai: Siegfried: threat
Nikolai: Siegfried: /roll 1d20+5
Nikolai: *** The Dice rolls dice for Siegfried : 1d20 < 20 = 20
> + 5 = 25
Nikolai: DM: That's clearly a critical hit.
Nikolai: Siegfried: I am a golden god.
Nikolai:
Nikolai: I just wanted to share that
DM of Da: LOL
DM of Da: Which session is that from
Nikolai: same one
DM of Da: Hah
Nikolai: we encountered some dudes that wanted our money
DM of Da: Right
Boris: good man
Albrecht: you'd been watching almost famous?
DM of Da: So ok
Nikolai: I pwned them until I got triple poked
Nikolai: to unconsciousness
DM of Da: Take a look at the large chamber at the lower level
DM of Da: Albrecht is standing right at the entrance
DM of Da: Sven and Nikolai are behind him and to the north and
south respectively
DM of Da: Vasily and Boris and in that little diagonal tunnel that
goes to the SW off the map
DM of Da: Right next to Albrecht and Sven, poking his head out of
the little rock outcropping, is a blue wyrmling
DM of Da: Off to the east, at the T-intersection where the main
tunnel branches west, lies an unconscious Taras and his dead eagle
Boris: I dont recall killing hte eagle, but I'll take it
DM of Da: Yeah you did
Albrecht: i didn't realize it was dead, I knew we took it down
DM of Da: Or it could be color sprayed into lengthy
unconsciousness
DM of Da: That's really the same thing at this point
Albrecht: well, not if we get to use it in torturing Taras for
information
DM of Da: I do not recall the initiative order even a little bit,
but I do remember that the dragon had just gone, and it was the turn of
y'all... there'd been lots of delaying so let's just say the current
init order is alphabetical
DM of Da: Before we do anything else...
DM of Da: Ian, log a Vasilol
DM of Da: Helloooo
Nikolai: k
<<< Nikolai has joined >>>
<<< 08:17:48 PM >>>
<<< Nikolai is now known as Vasirofl >>>
DM of Da: lolfl.
DM of Da: Anyway.
Nikolai: so
DM of Da: The dragon, I will remind you, had called for mom
Boris: thats bad
DM of Da: So far there has been no visible consequence to this
DM of Da: It happened over a round ago
DM of Da: Albrecht, your turn
Albrecht: so the wyrmling is next to me?
DM of Da: Correct.
Albrecht: is it possible to grapple, or is it too far into the
wall for that?
DM of Da: Too far into the wall for that.
Boris: didnt it breathe?
DM of Da: It did.
Boris: grapple it in the face
Albrecht: yeah, but it only stuck its head out
DM of Da: Its head is sticking out.
DM of Da: Grappling is not feasible.
Albrecht: and grappling won't allow me to only grapple the head
DM of Da: Choose an alternate tactical option.
Nikolai: sunder it!
Nikolai: sunderrr
Nikolai: lol
Albrecht: hah
DM of Da: Sundering is not permitted.
Boris: that's poor
DM of Da: Choose an alternate tactical option.
Nikolai: hahaha
Boris: you should be able to hold it's mouth closed or some
such through grappling
Albrecht: basically the only question is if we want to kill it or
try to not kill it in case mom shows
Nikolai: sandy has turned into Temple of Elemental Evil the Atari
game
Sven: that game was terribizzle.
Nikolai: if we don't kill it, we will die
Nikolai: mark my words
Nikolai: as in
Albrecht: well I could try for nonlethal damage, for example
Nikolai: the dragon will simply breath on us
Nikolai: ok go for it
Albrecht: alright, we'll try that
Albrecht: that way mom may be less likely to kill us if she shows
Boris: throw water in its mouth
Albrecht: /try 4
*** DM rolls attempts for Albrecht :
*** DM 1d20 < 5 = 5 > + 4 = 9
Albrecht: and I miss
DM of Da: You do.
DM of Da: You attack the sandstone wall.
DM of Da: It is slightly chipped.
DM of Da: Boris!
DM of Da: You are currently out of line of sight of these
proceedings
DM of Da: But you hear the sounds of battle from around the corner
Boris: let's go look around the corner then. If there's any
room to do so, stabbity the dragon head that's calling for mom
Nikolai: also you know what happened
DM of Da: What happened
Boris: I guess that it called for mom and it breathed once?
DM of Da: And yes, you can move past Albrecht
DM of Da: And stab the dragon
Boris: /try 6
*** DM rolls attempts for Boris :
*** DM 1d20 < 8 = 8 > + 6 = 14
Boris: oy
Boris: /roll 1d6+1;doesntMatter
*** DM rolls dice for Boris: (doesntMatter) 1d6 < 1 = 1 > + 1 = 2
DM of Da: Yep
DM of Da: That's definitely a miss
DM of Da: Followed by a terrible, if irrelevant, damage roll
DM of Da: Nikolai!
Boris: yup
Nikolai: ok
Nikolai: Hm
Nikolai: I've forgotten where people are
DM of Da: Albrecht is adjact to the dragon
DM of Da: As is Boris.
DM of Da: You and Sven are behind Albrecht.
DM of Da: In that T-intersection nearest the big cavern.
DM of Da: Vasily is off in the southeast tunnel.
Nikolai: ok
Nikolai: Ugh
Nikolai: I don't have anything useful to do here
DM of Da: Well
DM of Da: Then don't do it :P
Nikolai: I'll delay
DM of Da: Ok.
DM of Da: Sven!
Sven: uhh
Sven: how are people feeling?
Albrecht: not perfect, but more than adequate
DM of Da: Well as I recall
DM of Da: People got lightning breathed
Nikolai: I'm missing 7.
DM of Da: You, Albrecht, Nikolai
DM of Da: And sparks of lightning cling to their bodies
Nikolai: Vasilol is fine
Sven: which is a lot for you, isn't it.
Nikolai: actually
Nikolai: I'm missing 8.
Nikolai: which is slightly over half
Nikolai: for me
Boris: im short a few
Boris: 13/21
Nikolai: 7/15
Albrecht: 24/30
Sven: you said I'm adjacent to the dragon?
DM of Da: No
DM of Da: You're adjacent to Albrecht
DM of Da: And to Nikolai.
Sven: ok
Sven: nikolai gets:
Sven: /roll 1d8+5
*** DM rolls dice for Sven: 1d8 < 7 = 7 > + 5 = 12
Sven: that many.
DM of Da: Very well.
DM of Da: Vasily!~
Sven: and I suppose I can move out of nikolai's way
DM of Da: Very well
Sven: which I guess is behind him,.
Nikolai: Hm
DM of Da: V
DM of Da: asily
Nikolai: Vasily is similarly fucked.
Nikolai: ok Sven moved
Nikolai: who's around the dragon now?
DM of Da: Albrecht
DM of Da: Boris
Nikolai: anywhere I can go to aim a color spray so that it
doesn't hit them
DM of Da: Yeah actually
Vasirofl: I go there
DM of Da: Wait, who does
Vasirofl: Vasily.
DM of Da: k.
Vasirofl: It is his turn.
DM of Da: Very well.
DM of Da: And he... color sprays?
DM of Da: I guess?
Vasirofl: Yes
Boris: wasnt there somehting like dragons are immune to that
last time?
<<< Dragon has joined >>>
<<< 08:34:10 PM >>>
Vasirofl: No
Albrecht: that was sleep
<<< Lizards has joined >>>
<<< 08:34:14 PM >>>
Vasirofl: They're immune to sleep.
<<< Taras -_- has joined >>>
<<< 08:34:28 PM >>>
Dragon: /try 5
*** DM rolls attempts for Dragon :
*** DM 1d20 < 13 = 13 > + 5 = 18
Vasirofl: yeah that makes.
DM of Da: Ok
DM of Da: Dragon's turn is next
DM of Da: Unless Nikolai undelays
Vasirofl: Hm
Vasirofl: Actually.
Nikolai: Yes.
Nikolai: I'm going to undelay
Nikolai: and sit right where I am
Nikolai: and crunch my pearl of power
Sven: munch
Sven: tasty.
DM of Da: Why would you crunch it
Nikolai: well
DM of Da: It is a multi-use item
Nikolai: I use it.
DM of Da: k.
Nikolai: is what I meant.
Nikolai: not destroy it
DM of Da: Lick it or something :P
Nikolai: sure
Nikolai: why not
Boris: It's actually a suppository
DM of Da: LOL
Sven: . . .
Nikolai: hahaha
DM of Da: Anyway
DM of Da: Dragon goes
*** Dragon retreats back into the wall, out of sight
DM of Da: And with that
DM of Da: All your opponents are gone or disabled
DM of Da: Rendering this the end of initiative
DM of Da: But first
Albrecht: well, until the dragon comes right back
DM of Da: You guys take more damage
DM of Da: Nikolai takes 3 electric damage
Nikolai: k
DM of Da: Albrecht and Sven, who I believe made their saves, takes
1 electric damage each
Boris: it will be back in 1d4 rounds
DM of Da: So
DM of Da: You've got an unconscious Taras
DM of Da: On the tunnel floor
Nikolai: You guys want to question him?
Albrecht: go back to the outer chamber and tie him up
Albrecht: we're stuck in the cave for now
Albrecht: until the storm dies down
Sven: boris gets:
Sven: /roll 1d8+5
*** DM rolls dice for Sven: 1d8 < 6 = 6 > + 5 = 11
Sven: that many.
Boris: what abut those lizardS?
DM of Da: The lizards
Sven: leave them be.
Albrecht: unless they follow, ignore them
DM of Da: Are looking angry but frightened
DM of Da: And in the corner
Albrecht: they are made of electricity and hurt
DM of Da: They have made no moves to attack since pwning Albrecht
when he went to strike them
Albrecht: and we're not going into that room anyway
Albrecht: we're going to the entrance room
DM of Da: Ok so
DM of Da: You drag Taras to the northern chamber and tie him up,
eh
Nikolai: Yep
DM of Da: He is dying, btw
Nikolai: Oh
Nikolai: right
Nikolai: Throw him a cure minor
DM of Da: k
DM of Da: Now he is at -1 exactly.
Sven: done.
Nikolai: sven you have any of those?
Nikolai: k
Albrecht: also we tie up the eagle
Albrecht: unless it's actually dead
DM of Da: It's dead, Jim.
DM of Da: Now, about a half minute later
Albrecht: bah, now I can't use it in the torture
Nikolai: figures
DM of Da: You hear a yell, from somewhere down the tunnel to the
south
DM of Da: It is the voice of the wyrmling again, yelling
piercingly in Draconic
Sven: how long were we expecting the sandstorm to go?
DM of Da: Couple hours
Sven: :/
Dragon: MOOOOOM!!!!
Sven: goddamnit.
*** Nikolai sighs
DM of Da: There's a few seconds of silence
Nikolai: Ok hold on
Nikolai: In draconic
Nikolai: I'm gonna yell back
Nikolai: Shut up! We don't want to fight with you anymore!
Sven: yay draconic speakers.
Nikolai: wizards are good at that
Albrecht: indeed
DM of Da: Ok
Boris: hah
DM of Da: A few seconds after that, you hear a deep, rumbling
growl
DM of Da: Which peters out to silence again
Boris: joy
Boris: [whisper] we could tell it about the hoard...
Nikolai: oh that's smart.
DM of Da: And after that, you hear what sounds like the voice of a
young woman, which seems to issue from directly in your midst
DM of Da: The voice is high but clear
DM of Da: And you can detect just a slight touch of weariness
Boris: // ah motherhood
DM of Da: "Humans intruders in my cavern."
DM of Da: "My child will interact with you no longer, and you will
remain where you are, still and silent."
Boris: we can do that
Nikolai: Agreed!
DM of Da: "I have no desire to waste my energy on you, but if you
disturb my sleep again, or tell anyone of my presence here, you will die
a most painful death."
DM of Da: "You will leave as soon as the storm clears."
DM of Da: The voice stops
Nikolai: Understood.
Albrecht: guess we'renot questioning Taras now
DM of Da: You hear, from the south again...
Dragon: But mooooooom!!
DM of Da: And again, the same powerful, low growl as before
DM of Da: And after that, all sounds cease.
Nikolai: If Taras shows any signs of becoming conscious, Albrecht
will as quietly as possible hit him for 1 subdual
Albrecht: eh, we'll gag him now
<<< Dragon has left >>>
<<< 08:49:24 PM >>>
<<< Lizards has left >>>
<<< 08:49:27 PM >>>
Sven: you just want someone to torture.
DM of Da: Ok.
Sven: sven gets:
Sven: /roll 1d8+3
*** DM rolls dice for Sven: 1d8 < 7 = 7 > + 3 = 10
Albrecht: now if we have a map... I want to mark this place on it
Sven: that many.
DM of Da: Alright
Albrecht: in case we ever want to come back and kill the dragon
DM of Da: Basically, you are near the road, only a few miles from
the border of the forest and the steppes
Boris: we might want to let the dragon know there's going to be
some torturing going on.....she'll find out soon enough once it starts
Albrecht: no no
Albrecht: if we want to torture him, we'll do it later
Boris: ok
DM of Da: So
DM of Da: Do you do anything other than sit and wait?
Sven: I got nothing.
DM of Da: Alright
DM of Da: You're sitting there and waiting
DM of Da: When suddenly
DM of Da: /try 18
*** DM rolls attempts for DM of Da :
*** DM 1d20 < 4 = 4 > + 18 = 22
Albrecht: Taras is bound and gagged, of course
DM of Da: /try 13

Albrecht: and being watched, also of course
Nikolai: great...

DM of Da: Nobody hears anything
DM of Da: But
Boris: I spot people spotting and listen to them
DM of Da: Sven does see... you're not even sure what, a shadow
moving between your horses
Sven: I point it out.
Vasirofl: Light says!
DM of Da: Not in time you don't
*** Nikolai point
Sven: :(
Nikolai: oh
Nikolai: well
DM of Da: Sven, roll Initiative
Nikolai: darn.
Sven: /try 1
DM of Da: .
Sven: err.
Nikolai: hey how about that
DM of Gaia: .
DM of Gaia: .
Nikolai: looks like he gets a 20 by default amirite
*** DM rolls attempts for Sven :
*** DM 1d20 < 8 = 8 > + 1 = 9
Nikolai: aw
<<< Shadow has joined >>>
<<< 08:55:15 PM >>>
Sven: there we go.
Shadow: /try 2
*** DM rolls attempts for Shadow :
*** DM 1d20 < 9 = 9 > + 2 = 11
DM of Da: Ok.
*** Sven gets sneak attacked and dizzies.
DM of Da: You see another furtive movement, and from those
shadows, comes tumbling a small, fist-sized piece of black rock
DM of Da: It clatters to the cavern floor in the middle of where
you guys are, and suddenly...
DM of Da: It is completely dark
DM of Da: Wait no
DM of Da: It's just shadowy
Albrecht: not 3.0 anymore
Sven: what does that even mean.
DM of Da: Yes well
DM of Da: All your torchlight is suppressed
Albrecht: it means Darkness creates an area of "shadowy
illumination"
DM of Da: As is the Continual Flame on your Ioun Stones
Nikolai: ...
DM of Da: And any Light you may have
Nikolai: remind me guys
Nikolai: isn't darkness a L2 spell
Albrecht: yes
Nikolai: isn't continual flame a L2 spell
Albrecht: does continual flame count as the type that counters
darkness?
Nikolai: yes
Albrecht: or would it need to be Lightness?
Nikolai: no
Albrecht: which obviously Ijust made up
Nikolai: continual flame is a Light spell
Albrecht: of course... Deeper Darkness...
Nikolai: sure, deeper darkness
Nikolai: but that's actually dark
Nikolai: instead of shadowy
Nikolai: at least in the epicenter.
Nikolai: of the spread
DM of Da: That's a lie
DM of Da: Deeper Darkness is still shadowy
DM of Da: All the way through
Nikolai: oh
Nikolai: ok then
DM of Da: Well
DM of Da: In any case
Albrecht: the ordering, however... would be the Darkness
countering the Continual Flame for ambient lighting
Boris: is t equivilent level to dispell or higher?
DM of Da: Continual Flame is L2 eh
DM of Da: So here's what happens
DM of Da: The Continual Flames are countered and suppressed
DM of Da: And prevailing light conditions ensue
DM of Da: Which is to say, the natural darkness of the cave
DM of Da: i.e. it's dark.
DM of Da: Additionally!
DM of Da: You can no longer hear any sounds
DM of Da: Not even each other's breathing
DM of Da: It is utterly 100% silent.
Nikolai: well shit
DM of Da: Sven!
Sven: so I'm confused
DM of Da: You've got a surprise round's worth of actions
Sven: can I see?
DM of Da: You can't.
DM of Da: It's dark.
Nikolai: if you get lucky you might be able to find that rock
Albrecht: we had no torches, just the continual flames, I assume?
DM of Da: Dark and silent.
Nikolai: since you saw it get tossed
Sven: can I take the rock?
DM of Da: You can try to find it
DM of Da: You'd have to roll Wis
Sven: ok.
DM of Da: To guess its location correctly
Sven: /try 3
*** DM rolls attempts for Sven :
*** DM 1d20 < 7 = 7 > + 3 = 10
DM of Da: Ok that's not sufficient.
Sven: and how about my wolf?
Nikolai: haha
DM of Da: How do you convey instructions to him
Sven: fair enough.
Nikolai: TELEPATHY
DM of Da: What with it being silent and dark
DM of Da: Heh :P
DM of Da: Ok
DM of Da: Do you do anything else?
Sven: do I have actions to do anything else?
DM of Da: Any free actions perhaps?
Sven: no.,
DM of Da: Well, probably not.
DM of Da: Ok.
DM of Da: Everyone else roll Init
Albrecht: /try 5
*** DM rolls attempts for Albrecht :

DM of Da: Nikolai
DM of Da: It's dark and silent
DM of Da: WHAT DO YOU DO
Nikolai: sigh
Nikolai: let's see
Nikolai: I recognize this as Darkness, right?
Nikolai: do I need to roll for that or can I just say duh
Nikolai: darkness and silence
DM of Da: You just recognize it
Nikolai: thank you
DM of Da: They are common spell effects
Nikolai: I cast Detect Magic.
Nikolai: wait.
Nikolai: shit.
DM of Da: That has a V component
Nikolai: yeah, it does
DM of Da: So no you don't
Nikolai: Ok I remember which direction the cave passageway is
Nikolai: so I'm going to go in that direction
DM of Da: Ok
Nikolai: note if I suddenly find noise
DM of Da: Let's see.
DM of Da: Ok
Nikolai: Silence's regular radius is 20ft.
DM of Da: I know what this does :P
DM of Da: I got the desc in front of me
DM of Da: So
Nikolai: k whatever
DM of Da: You see where the passageway first narrows dramatically?
Nikolai: I'm saying that for my own notes
Nikolai: yes
DM of Da: Regular noise suddenly begins 10ft north of that
Nikolai: where did I start
DM of Da: You started somewhere in the middle of that northeast
little cavern
DM of Da: So you moved about 20 feet
Nikolai: shouldn't that be 10ft south
Nikolai: assuming south is down
DM of Da: South is down
Nikolai: oh I see
DM of Da: Yep
Nikolai: ok good
Nikolai: as soon as I get to that point
DM of Da: Yep
Nikolai: I stop moving
Nikolai: and cast Detect Magic
DM of Da: Well
DM of Da: There are magic auras around you.
DM of Da: In the detection cone.
DM of Da: Further information forthcoming in subsequent rounds.
Nikolai: kthx
DM of Da: Boris what's your Dec
DM of Da: Dex
Sven: 37
DM of Da: Borrrrriiiissss
Nikolai: ,000
Sven: .54
DM of Da: Where'd he go damnit
Albrecht: if he's got a +7, he's got a +3 dex and imp init.
Sven: uyp.
Albrecht: then the shadow whatever it is beats my dex, then I go.
DM of Da: Jay is saying something about not getting messages
DM of Da: His wireless decided it hates him
DM of Da: He says to hang on.
Nikolai: :/
Albrecht: hmm
DM of Da: MEANWHILE
Albrecht: I feel like I should have gotten torches instead of a
lamp when I kittted out
DM of Da: The shadow, whatever it is, goes.
<<< Boris has left >>>

*** DM 1d20 < 7 = 7 > + 3 = 10
DM of Da: Sven, you briefly feel drowsy when you inhale it
DM of Da: But it passes.
DM of Da: WHERE IS BORIS ZOMG
DM of Da: Albrecht go.
DM of Da: (he's rebooting)
Albrecht: ok quick confirmation.
Albrecht: continual flame + darkness means that prevailing light
holds. So if I were to find and light a torch, we'd have that light.
DM of Da: Yes
DM of Da: That is correct
Albrecht: well, since I don't have a torch, I will actually fumble
in my pack for my lantern and oil
DM of Da: lolsauce
Albrecht: and flint/steel
Vasirofl: go go lantern
Albrecht: because I'm not going to swing a sword at random.
DM of Da: How long does that take to light
Albrecht: good question
DM of Da: Flint and Steel
DM of Da: Lighting a torch with flint and steel is a full-round
action, and lighting any other fire with them takes at least that long.
DM of Da: I will say it takes One Full Round(tm).
Albrecht: FRA it seems
DM of Da: Since the rules do not specify beyond what I just
quoted.
<<< jflynn has joined >>>
<<< 09:20:12 PM >>>
<<< jflynn is now known as Boris >>>
Nikolai: hooray!
Albrecht: so yeah, 1 full round looks good
DM of Da: So
Boris: fucking ubuntu
Albrecht: plus, I assume, a move actiono r so to find the stuff
DM of Da: It'll be lit on your next turn
DM of Da: Yeah
DM of Da: So
DM of Da: Boris
DM of Da: It's still your turn
Nikolai: so next round you'll have exactly one SA
DM of Da: (yep)
Boris: define still my turn
Boris: last I got
Boris: there was a question about having to make a sellcraft
roll
Boris: and then "Dispell magic, no, wait"
DM of Da: sellcraft
DM of Da: lol
Nikolai: if only we had dispel magic.
DM of Da: Nikolai move out of the silence and cast Detect Magic,
but you don't know that
Boris: ah
DM of Da: You smelled some strange gas for a second, then it was
gone
DM of Da: Albrecht is rummaging in his pack for stuff
Boris: I hope I made my fort save
DM of Da: But you can't see or hear that either
DM of Da: There was no effect
DM of Da: So
DM of Da: Your turn.
DM of Da: It's dark and silent.
Boris: move towards the door, sword out
DM of Da: Door = area near entrance where horses are?
Boris: right, entrance
DM of Da: Where the darkness/silence stone came from?
DM of Da: k.
DM of Da: You do that.
DM of Da: It's still dark and silent.
DM of Da: Now you're standing next to a horse's ass.
DM of Da: Anything else?
Boris: how do I know where they came from
DM of Da: You saw the rock being flung toward you
Boris: oh, cool
DM of Da: Then when it struck the floor
Nikolai: he did?
DM of Da: It got silent and dark
Nikolai: well
Nikolai: nm
DM of Da: Yep
DM of Da: Anything else, Boris?
Boris: man, Im in the wrong place...if I cant move foward
anymore (and if I havea ny move left), move the other way
DM of Da: Alright
DM of Da: You're back at the eastern wall of the cavern
DM of Da: It is still dark
DM of Da: And silent.
DM of Da: You're done for the round.
DM of Da: Sven!
Sven: I guess I'm moving back into the cave from whence I came
DM of Da: To the south?
DM of Da: Where Nikolai went?
Sven: yes
DM of Da: k.
Sven: am I sensible again after 30 ft?
DM of Da: After 20, even
*** Sven produces flame
DM of Da: Ok
DM of Da: Vasily.
Nikolai: Hey Sven, what's up.
Sven: well, that sucked.
Nikolai: DO I see anything now that Sven's here?
DM of Da: No.
Nikolai: k
Sven: produce flame produces light as a torch
Nikolai: Do I hear him?
Sven: just so you know
DM of Da: Well
DM of Da: You see Sven
DM of Da: And yourself
DM of Da: But not anything around where your other comrades are
DM of Da: Or the horses
Nikolai: k
Vasirofl: meanwhile
Vasirofl: Vasily does exactly what Nikolai did
DM of Da: k
DM of Da: He detects the same thing
DM of Da: i.e. there are magic auras
Vasirofl: well no
Vasirofl: okm sure
Vasirofl: fine
Vasirofl: that's exactly what happens
DM of Da: Nikolai's turn again
Vasirofl: Hey guys what's up.
Nikolai: Sup.
Nikolai: OH GOD IM TALKING TO MYSELF
Nikolai: Anyway
Nikolai: Round 2, what do I see
DM of Da: Well
DM of Da: In addition to the usual auras
DM of Da: From you guys and your gear
DM of Da: You detect
Nikolai: because those auras exist
DM of Da: Yeah
DM of Da: You got some wands
DM of Da: And such
Nikolai: fine fine
Albrecht: bunches of scrolls and wands and continual flame ioun
stones
DM of Da: Several more auras are present
DM of Da: Like
DM of Da: About 10-15 more
DM of Da: The most powerful of them is faint.
DM of Da: What do you do
Nikolai: staying and concentrating
Albrecht: taras may have some gear, I suppose
DM of Da: k
DM of Da: Next up
DM of Da: Is
DM of Da: Boris
DM of Da: Oh come on
DM of Da: Why do I have to poke him every time
Boris: i donno
DM of Da: Anyway your turn
Boris: move back toards the other cave. I'm assumign there's
only 2 passages through here or something
DM of Da: You can move toward where Sven, Nikolai, and Vasily are
DM of Da: Which is toward the south
DM of Da: Further into the cave
DM of Da: Is that what you want?
Boris: es
DM of Da: Alright
Boris: y
DM of Da: You discover Sven, Nikolai, and Vasily
DM of Da: The latter two are concentrating on some sort of spells
DM of Da: Sven has fire in his hand
Boris: "hello?"
Boris: sounds now?
DM of Da: It is giving out light as a torch
DM of Da: Yep
DM of Da: You've passed beyond the range of the silence.
DM of Da: Anything else?
Boris: I dont suppose I could ready an action to attack any
unknowns coming out of the darkness?
Boris: as in not a party member or party member's wolf
DM of Da: You could
DM of Da: So
DM of Da: The shadowy whatever's turn next.
DM of Da: It does or does not do something.
DM of Da: Or nothing.
Sven: hawt.
DM of Da: You really don't know.
DM of Da: /try 18
*** DM rolls attempts for DM of Da :
*** DM 1d20 < 17 = 17 > + 18 = 35
DM of Da: Albrecht's turn.
DM of Da: He finishes lighting the lamp
Albrecht: what do I see?
DM of Da: You see:
DM of Da: Nikolai, Sven, Boris, and Vasily down in the southern
cave passage
DM of Da: Your horses, looking somewhat frightened, but all
present and accounted for
DM of Da: And
DM of Da: Taras, on the floor, with a dagger sticking out of his
throat, and blood gushing from the wound
DM of Da: He is dead.
Sven: . . .
Sven: mother fucker.
DM of Da: There's nothing else.
Boris: all that just to kill someone that might have just been
useless?
DM of Da: What do you do?
Sven: apparently he wasn't/.
Nikolai: :/
Albrecht: I take my sword in hand and wait, guarding the lamp.
DM of Da: Ok.
DM of Da: Well
Boris: options - do nothing, talk to the dragon and likely get
eaten
Nikolai: damn now I REALLY want to know what he knew
DM of Da: Nothing else happens
Albrecht: so that's uh... ready anaction to attack any strange
thing that comes into reach
DM of Da: Some of the auras you guys were detecting are no longer
present
DM of Da: But some are
Nikolai: wait wait
Nikolai: what happens specifically
DM of Da: What happens specifically is that when the third round
of Detect Magic arrives and you resolve the location and strength of
each aura, you realize there are less of them than you felt at first
Nikolai: ok well
Nikolai: tell me what I DO see.
DM of Da: And those that remain emanate from Taras' gear
DM of Da: We've got
DM of Da: Faint... Trans
DM of Da: Faint... Conj
Nikolai: locations
Nikolai: along with schools/strengths.
DM of Da: The two above are tucked in Taras' belt
DM of Da: They are wands
DM of Da: And also
Boris: ...I go to check Taras out
DM of Da: A bundle of faint enchantment
DM of Da: In his arrow quiver
Albrecht: // i can't wait until I can pick up some BoVD spell...
which was it...
DM of Da: 10 of them
Boris: pull out that dagger without touching it directly (like
through cloth or something)
DM of Da: Alright
DM of Da: It's just a dagger
Albrecht: // aha, Devil
Albrecht: 's Eye
DM of Da: Masterwork, actually
Boris: no magic on it?
DM of Da: None at all
Boris: anyone want a dagger?
DM of Da: Anyone have any Appraise skill?
Albrecht: i bet Vasily does
Vasirofl: nope.
Boris: yo
DM of Da: Roll it
Boris: /try 4
*** DM rolls attempts for Boris :
*** DM 1d20 < 18 = 18 > + 4 = 22
Albrecht: can we locate the rock or similar that has the spells on
it?
DM of Da: The dagger is manufactured in the northern style, such
as might be found in the Principality of Novgorod
DM of Da: Yeah sure
Albrecht: I want it
DM of Da: The rock is in the middle of the cavern
DM of Da: It is now inert
Boris: you can have it
Nikolai: so...
Albrecht: well if it's inert, meh
DM of Da: Looks like a regular piece of black rock
DM of Da: Also
Nikolai: no auras coming from it?
DM of Da: No
DM of Da: Also
DM of Da: There is another rock
DM of Da: Smaller
DM of Da: Like granite, with greenish veins running through it,
pockmarked with holes
DM of Da: It is also inert
DM of Da: So to recap
DM of Da: All the magic items here
DM of Da: Are two wands
DM of Da: And ten arrows in Taras' quiver
DM of Da: What do you do now?
Nikolai: Uh
Albrecht: stick them in party loot for later ID
Sven: is there any sign of where the fuck that guy came from?
Nikolai: I'm still scared of the dragon.
Boris: dont we have a wand of ID?
Nikolai: Let's go back to what we were doing.
Nikolai: Which is sitting perfectly still.
DM of Da: There is no sign of where the fuck that guy came from
DM of Da: If it even was a guy
DM of Da: Or if there even was an it
Sven: taht was totally a guy.
Boris: clearly
DM of Da: Well
Boris: the box is a mimic
Sven: and he was equipped with some bullshit.
DM of Da: There's no sign of him
Sven: :/
DM of Da: So
DM of Da: You sit still
DM of Da: And quiet
Albrecht: yeah
Nikolai: Unless anyone has better ideas
Boris: shifty eyed
Sven: with no sign of where the fuck that guy came from
Sven: ?
Sven: no.
Sven: no better idea.
DM of Da: And after a couple of hours, during which nothing out of
the ordinary happens...
DM of Da: You begin to hear the roar of the sandstorm outside
begin to abate
DM of Da: And eventually, it stops altogether
Albrecht: clear the boulder out of the way and step outside
DM of Da: Alright
Boris: do it slowly, dont want another silence spell to get us
DM of Da: Several inches of sand and dust have accumulated on the
steppes
DM of Da: The sky is clearing up
DM of Da: It is now mid-afternoon
DM of Da: It's quite hot.
Sven: mother mcfucker.
Nikolai: Ok well
Nikolai: let's go?
Boris: go outside, id the wands?
*** Sven curses again.
Nikolai: yeah I suppose
Boris: how are the horses that were outside?
Boris: no signs I guess?
DM of Da: Did you tie them up or just leave them?
Nikolai: we tied them up
DM of Da: They're dead.
Nikolai: k
DM of Da: Alright
Boris: meat for the road
DM of Da: It's full of sand
Nikolai: I'm not eating a horse.
DM of Da: Do you like sand
Nikolai: Especially not a horse full of sand.
Boris: its high in...er...nothing
Boris: zinc?
DM of Da: Ok so
DM of Da: Identifying wands?
DM of Da: And magic arrows?
Albrecht: that'll eat up most of the remains of the day, yes?
Nikolai: Well
Nikolai: I guess so
Nikolai: But we should move out
Boris: wait until camp then
Nikolai: we don't want to stay here.
Nikolai: yeah.
DM of Da: Alright
DM of Da: Well
DM of Da: You move out
DM of Da: And a couple hours later you make it to the tree line
Boris: oh, did Taras have any cash on him?
DM of Da: He had the following loots:
DM of Gaia: Masterwork shortbow (330 gp), quiver of arrows (1 gp)
and 10x <UNKNOWN> arrows (DC 11) (1,320 gp), battleaxe (10 gp), handaxe
(5 gp), masterwork chain shirt (250 gp), wands: <UNKNOWN>, <UNKNOWN>,
600 gp.
DM of Da: So the answer is yes.
DM of Da: He sure did.
DM of Da: Anyhow, you've still got a couple hours to sunset
Boris: if nobody else wants it, I'll take the chain shirt
*** Sven curses again, since he has time.
Nikolai: we abuse our identification magic
DM of Da: Do you make camp hear, near the forest's edge? Or do you
continue deeper into the woods and camp there
DM of Da: *here
Nikolai: hm
Sven: I don't feel like dealing with goblins tonight.
Nikolai: let's stay by the edge
DM of Da: Ok
DM of Da: Identification magic eh
Sven: motherfuckers.
DM of Da: The wands are
*** Sven curses again.
DM of Da: Entangle (12 charges)
*** Boris equips chain shirt
DM of Da: CLW (7 charges)
DM of Da: And the arrows are Sleep arrows (10)
Sven: so basically more wands I'm going to end up carrying.
DM of Da: Makes sense.
Nikolai: yep
Sven: very well.
DM of Da: Who's taking the arrows?
Boris: are we splitting them again?
Albrecht: well you can use up this wand first
Sven: on?
Nikolai: he means
Albrecht: healing us
Sven: you mean in future.
Sven: I see.
Nikolai: yes
Albrecht: also CL of the CLW wand?
DM of Da: min
Sven: 1, I assume.
Boris: possibly presently, though I could probabyl just heal
naturally right now
DM of Da: Ok anyway
DM of Da: Decide on arrows
DM of Da: Meanwhile
DM of Da: The Night Passes Uneventfully.
Sven: boris gets:
Sven: roll /1d8+1
Nikolai: TNPU!
Sven: /roll 1d8+1
*** DM rolls dice for Sven: 1d8 < 8 = 8 > + 1 = 9
Sven: there we go.
Boris: full
DM of Da: And now it is time.
Nikolai: someone make me some sort of heal check
Nikolai: so I get my 3hp back
Sven: /roll 1d8+1
*** DM rolls dice for Sven: 1d8 < 5 = 5 > + 1 = 6
Sven: there's your heal check.
Nikolai: well
*** DM of Da extracts from his dark library of horrors...
Nikolai: I meant the skill
Nikolai: but ok
Albrecht: i'll take a minor or two if you want
Sven: /roll 1d8+1
*** DM rolls dice for Sven: 1d8 < 5 = 5 > + 1 = 6
Albrecht: or a heal check for more overnight
DM of Da: The newest and most terrible repository of forbidden
knowledge
Nikolai: noooooo
DM of Da: The Fifth Manual of Monsters.
Boris: anyone else with a higher BaB have a short bow?
Sven: you get that.
Nikolai: NOOOOOOOOO
Sven: oh jesus.
Nikolai: we're doomed
*** Sven curses again.
Nikolai: oh man
Boris: damn it, I cant run downstairs to get that
Nikolai: sandy do you have that chat log saved
Nikolai: where oliver said that
Nikolai: that was funny
Albrecht: i have a bow
Boris: this I think is a MW bow
DM of Da: Yes
DM of Da: Masterwork shortbow
Albrecht: want it, Boris?
Boris: might as well, though soon enough we'll both be in melee
Albrecht: ok
Nikolai: oh man, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II is on
Albrecht: take the sleep arrows too
Albrecht: "go ninja go ninja go ninja go"
Boris: you take half of them again
Albrecht: ok
DM of Da: Alright.
Boris: I doubt I'll ever need 10 in one encounter
Albrecht: 5 sleep arrows? are they masterwork?
DM of Da: Yes
Boris: they're magic, so yes
Boris: any additional enhancement?
DM of Da: No
Boris: ....+1 or no
DM of Da: Sleep Arrow
DM of Da: This +1 arrow is painted white and has white fletching.
If it strikes a foe so that it would normally deal damage, it instead
bursts into magical energy that deals nonlethal damage (in the same
amount as would be lethal damage) and forces the target to make a DC 11
Will save or fall asleep.
DM of Da: Bam
DM of Da: Ok
Nikolai: so it's +1
Nikolai: that's pretty good
Boris: +1 subdual
DM of Da: In the earliest hours of the morning...
DM of Da: When you are just rising from sleep
Boris: how nice of him
DM of Da: You feel an unnatural chill in the air
DM of Da: You don't see the source at first
DM of Da: But then you look up
DM of Da: And you see, circling above you
DM of Da: A gigantic, black-feathered bird
Boris: as long as it doesn't have 4 arms and two bows
Nikolai: sigh
Sven: do I know anything about giant black-feathered birds?
DM of Da: It has the appearance of a giant vulture; its plumage
does not cover the ebony skin of its head
DM of Da: Its wings shine with an oily substance, and a pair of
glowing red eyes peers out from above a jagged beak
DM of Da: Sitting atop this monstrous bird is a vaguely humanoid
figure with clearly demonic features
Boris: Zuu?
DM of Da: It has a dark, armored carapace, and viciously curved
horns
DM of Da: The dark rider circles above you for a minute or two
Nikolai: oh my god.
Nikolai: why.
DM of Da: Then turns and flies off toward the northwest
Sven: so do I know anything about big blackfeathered birds
yet?
Nikolai: ....
Nikolai: what the shit
DM of Da: You do not know anything about this
Nikolai: what's to the northwest geographically
DM of Da: Forest
DM of Da: And more forest
Albrecht: well.
DM of Da: Nothing else you know about nearby geographically
Albrecht: Something saw us
DM of Da: Immediately after the rider flies off
DM of Da: You hear movement in the trees all around you
Boris: where's that bow...
DM of Da: And from one direction, very loud movement, a stomping
and crashing sound, as if something large is moving through the forest
Albrecht: draw my shamshir and stand.
DM of Da: Ok
*** Sven stands
Sven: wtf is a shamshir.
Nikolai: it's a falchion
DM of Da: It's a huge two-handed scimitar
Boris: hey, I have sleep arrows now...
DM of Da: D&D stats falchion
Albrecht: 1d10 18-20/x2 two-handed slashing.
DM of Da: So
DM of Da: er, not D&D stats falchion
DM of Da: Sorry
Sven: very well.
DM of Da: Anyway
Nikolai: it's LIKE a falchion
Nikolai: sorta.
DM of Da: The movement gets closer, and eight goblin worg riders
burst from the forest all around you, lances drawn and pointed at you
DM of Da: Additionally
DM of Da: A massive, 9-foot-tall, lumbering creature, vaguely
humanoid and two-headed, crashes through the trees
Boris: scratch that, get out the tanglefoot bags
Nikolai: ok so
DM of Da: Its eyes are dead and glassy, and an overpowering
stench, like the smell of the grave, follows it
Nikolai: just to clarify something
Nikolai: We didn't get the chance to re-prepare, right?
DM of Da: No
Nikolai: ok, also for clarification
Nikolai: you're a jerk
DM of Da: k
Nikolai: k
Sven: wtf is a break.
Nikolai: I DON'T KNOW
Sven: couldn't tell you.
Boris: does the +1 enhancement from a bow stack with the +1 on
an arrow? Im guessing no....
DM of Da: Yes
DM of Da: Along with this creature comes a goblin on foot, a
morningstar at her side - you can tell by now it's a female - and the
stylized bulls-head holy symbol of Volos around her neck
DM of Da: You are now surrounded
Boris: yay plot points
Sven: . . .
DM of Da: Neither the worg riders, nor the undead ogre or whatever
it is (you're not sure), nor the cleric, make any hostile moves
Boris: is this the part where we find out we had to time to
wake up and react to this?
DM of Da: The cleric grins, showing a smile full of crooked, brown
teeth
Boris: no time*
<<< Shadow has left >>>
<<< 10:16:36 PM >>>
<<< Taras -_- has left >>>
<<< 10:16:38 PM >>>
<<< Worg Riders has joined >>>
<<< 10:16:43 PM >>>
<<< Goblin Cleric has joined >>>
<<< 10:16:48 PM >>>
<<< Undead Ogre (maybe) has joined >>>
<<< 10:16:56 PM >>>
DM of Da: So
DM of Da: Do you wish to take any hostile actions yourselves?
Sven: and get served? not in particular.
Albrecht: yeah, things do not look good for us right now
DM of Da: Ok.
DM of Da: The goblin cleric says something in Goblin
Sven: additionally
Sven: stop serving us.
DM of Da: Which of course none of you understand
Sven: kthx.
*** Nikolai stands ready
DM of Da: Seeing your lack of comprehension, she speaks again,
this time in a different language - not the harsh, clipped sound of
Goblin, but something much darker and more sinister-sounding
DM of Da: Anyone here speak Infernal?
Albrecht: yes.
DM of Da: Ok.
Nikolai: seriously?
Sven: wow.
Albrecht: Seriously.
Goblin Cleric: Come quietly and live. Resist, and I will enjoy killing
you.
Albrecht: first, I tell the party what he said
Nikolai: Uh.
Albrecht: then I ask in Infernal where he plans on taking us.
DM of Da: She.
DM of Da: The cleric is female.
Albrecht: She.
Goblin Cleric: Our High Priest has commanded that you be brought to
Nightscree.
Albrecht: again with the relaying
Nikolai: You gotta be kidding me.
Boris: where?
Nikolai: The hell do the goblins want with us?
Goblin Cleric: Come... and know that only some of you must be brought
back alive. I am free to do with the rest as I wish.
*** Goblin Cleric grins malevolently
*** Albrecht relay
*** Albrecht sheathes sword
Nikolai: We might be able to take them
Nikolai: Vasily and I have some scrolls
Albrecht: how are you guys for spells?
Sven: . . .
Albrecht: I also have a sleep scroll
Albrecht: scrolls can probably neutralize the riders, but the
zombie and the cleric are the important part
Nikolai: Consensus?
Nikolai: yes, that's what you're for melee drones.
Boris: they also know we're here with the bird rider....
Sven: this is a terrible idea.
Boris: yeah
DM of Da: Well, decide quickly
Boris: two terrible options
Boris: the dice hate us tonight, lets go
Boris: with them
Sven: rofl.
Albrecht: yeah, I don't want to kill half the party to avoid this
guy
Nikolai: well
Nikolai: we can totally take them
Nikolai: assuming their saves don't rock
Albrecht: if our spells were up, we could certainly take them
Nikolai: yes the lack of my L2s is not great
Albrecht: with 2/5th of the party reduced to scrolls...
Nikolai: I have 2 L1 slots open
Nikolai: and my peral of power up
Albrecht: we'd need our sleeps and color sprays to work
Nikolai: right
Nikolai: that's the key thing
Nikolai: if those saves are made
Nikolai: the riders mincemeat us
Albrecht: right
Albrecht: if they're failed, we only have two threats
Albrecht: we can push out, between us, three scrolls/spells in one
action
Albrecht: and I guess Sven could entangel as well
Nikolai: right
Albrecht: opinions?
Nikolai: sven do you have any slots open
Albrecht: they either have a job for us, or want to kill us.
Boris: I'd need to roll a 16 on UMD for the wand :(
Sven: a couple of level 2s and a couple of entangles.
Sven: but why are we considering this?
Nikolai: because being taken prisoner leads to losing all of our
loot.
Albrecht: and possibly dying
Nikolai: that's why
Nikolai: and death yes
Albrecht: if they want us to offer us a job or some such, then
it's not an issue
Sven: I'm pretty sure fighting them is certain death
Sven: but I guess that's just m.
Sven: e.
DM of Da: Ok
DM of Da: Decision time
Nikolai: I can tell you how the fight goes
Nikolai: either they make their saves and we lose
Albrecht: right
Nikolai: or they fail them and we win eventually
Nikolai: it's real simple
Sven: or they win init and we lose.
Albrecht: the fight is a gamble. So is letting them take us
Nikolai: I doubt it.
Albrecht: if we fight and lose, we're dead.
Sven: or the ogres one-shots each of us in turn.
Albrecht: If we fight and win, business as usual.
Sven: ogre, even
Nikolai: I doubt that too
Albrecht: if we surrender, we may or may not live
Boris: i say we at least surrender and wait for a better
opportunity
Nikolai: fine
Albrecht: there is a minor implication that they might have a job
for us
DM of Da: So
Nikolai: since you are all cowards
DM of Da: Surrendering?
Sven: also remember we are surrounded.
Nikolai: we'll go with them
DM of Da: Ok.
Sven: again.
Sven: somehow.
Sven: without any warning.
DM of Da: There was warning!
Nikolai: we can't be surrounded completely
Sven: *rabble rabble*.
DM of Da: I said there was movement from all around you
Albrecht: this follows the assumption that they are not taking our
stuff
Sven: apparently we are.
Nikolai: we're ont he edge of the forest
Nikolai: well
DM of Da: So you could escape to the steppes... if you were so
inclined... but by the time you got on your horses and untied them you
would be 100% surrounded
DM of Da: So
DM of Da: It's really the same thing
DM of Da: Anyway
DM of Da: What is your reply, Albrecht
Nikolai: it's a matter of tactical advantage
Sven: for the purposes of fighting, it isn't.
DM of Da: Since you're the mouthpiece
DM of Da: Of the party
Albrecht: guys?
Sven: in the surrounded case, our chance of winning is 0%
Albrecht: we're surrendering?
Nikolai: this influences our decision Sandy
Nikolai: you have to be clear
Sven: in the not surrounded case, that goes up to 20% or so.
Nikolai: about what the combat map looks like
Nikolai: right now
DM of Da: You are surrounded on all but 1 side
Sven: because then suddenly everything is hittable.
Albrecht: with the spells we can put out, we can probably drop or
disable a lot of the riders easily
Sven: also I would like a recount of what we have to deal
with.
DM of Da: 8 goblin worg riders.
Sven: not that I want to fight a losing fight.
DM of Da: 1 undead, two-headed ogre type thing (except it's bigger
than most ogres you've seen, on the large side of Large)
DM of Da: 1 goblin cleric.
Sven: ok.
Nikolai: so what do you say
DM of Da: btw the ogre has a massive spiked morningstar in each
hand.
Sven: I still say no.
DM of Da: LESS DECIDING
Sven: but I just wanted to be clear.
Nikolai: fine
Nikolai: then I guess that's a no
Albrecht: ok Sven votes for surrender.
Albrecht: guess we're going with them
Sven: lol
DM of Da: Ok.
Albrecht: retaining our weapons and other equipment
Boris: yup
DM of Da: So
Sven: it's like the american voting system
DM of Da: Albrecht
DM of Da: What do you say
DM of Da: Exactly
DM of Da: To the cleric
Sven: in which no one else votes and I win
Albrecht: Well then, lead on.
Nikolai: no
*** Goblin Cleric shakes her head
Nikolai: I voted we fight
Nikolai: Boris voted we don't fight
Nikolai: Albrecht voted we don't fight
Nikolai: that's why you won
Nikolai: :P
Sven: oh.

DM of Da: You are standing within reach of a massive, two-headed,
undead ogre - or something - which is swinging large morningstars around
DM of Da: Yes
DM of Da: Quite threatened
DM of Da: All the threatened ever.
Boris: anything besides it I can 5 foot to?
DM of Da: You can 5-foot backwards
DM of Da: To L13, so to speak
DM of Da: Wait
DM of Da: Besides it?
DM of Da: You mean
DM of Da: Beside it?
DM of Da: Like next to it?
DM of Da: Or what
Albrecht: remember
Boris: besides moving next to it
Albrecht: it's a zombie. no Sneak
DM of Da: Yeah
DM of Da: You can 5-ft to M11
DM of Da: That would put you within striking distance
Albrecht: get away from it and start taking down goblins
Boris: ok, 5 foot there and stab a warg thing
DM of Da: What
DM of Da: There are no worgs within 5-foot step distance
DM of Da: The closest is like 15 feet away
Albrecht: hell go with the bow if you have to, but keep away from
the zombie or you'll get pwned

DM of Da: Additionally
DM of Da: You probably would have wanted to 5-ft step back before
doing so, as using a ranged weapon provokes an AoO
DM of Da: But in this case
DM of Da: The undead thing is dumb
DM of Da: And doesn't take such an AoO
DM of Da: Anyways.
DM of Da: Nikolai!
Boris: thats exactly what I wanted to do actually
DM of Da: Ok
Boris: step away first
Albrecht: also my unconcious self told him to get away
DM of Da: You're in L13 then
DM of Da: Heh
Boris: else I wouldnt have asked about being threatened first
:)
DM of Da: Nikolai it's all you
Nikolai: Well
Boris: next time I'll have to remember I can tumble though
Nikolai: This may be a poor idea in general but it may also save
my life
Nikolai: I tap myself with my wand of Mage Armor

javelin wound
DM of Gaia: Your head spins, and you find yourself falling
unconscious
DM of Da: Boris.
DM of Da: Your turn.
Nikolai: uh
Nikolai: well shit
DM of Da: Albrecht, Vasily, and Nikolai are unconscious

first

Sven: so we have a million worg riders entangled
DM of Da: Yes
Sven: a big fucking ogre
Sven: and three of my companions unconscious.
Sven: is that about right?
DM of Da: 5 entangled, 3 not, a big fucking two-headed ogre
DM of Da: And yes
Nikolai: Sandy can I ask you a question
DM of Da: Absolutely
Nikolai: And I don't think I'm doing anything I couldn't have
done while I was conscious here

DM of Da: Religion
DM of Da: Roll
Nikolai: yes
Nikolai: /try 7
*** DM rolls attempts for Nikolai :
*** DM 1d20 < 8 = 8 > + 7 = 15
DM of Da: All you can tell is that while it's similar to a zombie,
it clearly lacks the sluggish, shambling movement that is common to
zombies, so it must be something else
Nikolai: got it
DM of Da: You don't know any more.
DM of Da: Sven what's the plan
Sven: I drop my shit, hold my hands up, and say "we surrender"
Sven: my wolf withdraws to my side.
DM of Da: Ok
DM of Da: The worg riders grin in evil satisfaction
DM of Da: But the ogre does not seem to have gotten the message
DM of Da: It steps forward and assaults Sven
Sven: of course not.
