Goonergeezer: heya
Smon: Hi chris
Goonergeezer: is it max hp at first and can we loer a stat by 2 and raise another by 1?
chris107: Hi Simon
Smon: Yes
Smon: But you can only raise your Prime stat and you can only lower STR INT WIS
Goonergeezer: k
Smon: So you need to assign stats first then raise/lower
Smon: @chris was thinking I'd go on w Wilderlands, if Amalric shows up!
chris107: I'm good for either Simon.
Goonergeezer: str int wis dex con cha

Smon: You start w one spell, eg sleep charm person or readma
Smon: if you take read magic you can start w spell scrolls at 50gp each.

Goonergeezer: k
Smon: I've PM'd amalric to let him know we're here.
Goonergeezer: i can scribe scrolls into my spell book once i have bought the scrolls yea?
Smon: no
Smon: In B/X you only know spells equal to your spells/day
Smon: Read Magic only seems useful for reading scrolls, as they can't be transferred to spell book
Goonergeezer: and scrolls are a one shot only, so if i picj read magic as my spell and buy 2 scrolls then when they have gone the only spell i have in my book is the read magic
Smon: yup, until you level up
Goonergeezer: what is ti we are gonna be doing, is it dungeon crawl or a city thing?
Goonergeezer: do we know?
Smon: prob Wilderness & maybe dungeon
Smon: There are no big cities in the area.
Goonergeezer: k, and what are guard dogs like, can they be used in combat?
Smon: not generally, no
Goonergeezer: k
Smon: There are no dogs on the Moldvay equipment table 
Goonergeezer: was lookimg at the labyrinth lord book
Smon: I'll type in the equipment list
Goonergeezer: is all the other stat stuff the same as LL?
Goonergeezer: saves stat bonus etc
Smon: http://smons.blogspot.co.uk/2013/10/the-ghinarian-hills.html
chris107: If it is I'll download LL.
Smon: I've added equipment list.
Smon: Dan Proctor had to change saves slightly from Moldvay but LL is very similar
chris107: If not I'll bid on the basic books on eBay.
Smon: It's always worth getting a Moldvay, I have two 
Smon: They were giving it away free for awhile in pdf when D&D Classics started.
Smon: Now it's $5 though.
Smon: http://www.dndclassics.com/product/110274/D%26D-Basic-Set-Rulebook-%28B-X-ed%29-%28Basic%29
chris107: is Moldvay the red book?
Smon: yes
Smon: Looks like I failed to download it when it was free so I don't have an e-copy. 
Goonergeezer: i did have a copy but i seem to have deleted it
Smon: wonder what happened to amalric, *sigh* 
Goonergeezer: gonna have to reroll the char, have no spell descriptions so cant really play a mage
chris107: Loads on eBay from 99p
Smon: cool
Smon: about the ebay I mean
Goonergeezer: going for a smoke brb
Smon: Not sure what to do tonight w/out amalric
chris107: I'm surprised. He said he was playing last night.
Smon: All I can think of is I could do the Wilderlands w 2 PCs if Lance is too busy having sex to join in; might be tough staying alive though 
chris107: Dick is fierce 
Smon:  Or I could try doing Yggsburgh; my worry is I'm very tired and would struggle to remember stuff. My Wednesdays are very tough the next 3 weeks, then get better until January.
Goonergeezer: stick with this
Smon: OK, I'm thinking that chris's PC Dick the Hobbit could be hunting rabbits with his crossbow by dawn's early light, when he comes across Ken's PC.
Smon: Or I suppose Ken could play amalric's PC as he's not here 
chris107: "Hands up!"
chris107: "Or I'll fill 'y' full of arrows!"
Goonergeezer: Ok Fighter (easy to play withour rulebooks)
Smon: 
Goonergeezer: are the stat plusses the same as yggs game?
Smon: yes
chris107: (No rule book here either Ken - Half the fun!  )
Goonergeezer: bit of a buggfer when you want to pay a mage tho
Smon: LL spells are very similar
Goonergeezer: chars been rubbed out and fighetr rolled and kitted out
Goonergeezer: whats the ac for plate and shield?
Goonergeezer: 3 or 2?
Smon: ok, do you want to be a travelling adventurer or a local to Selatine?
Smon: 2
Smon: plate 3, plate & shield 2
Goonergeezer: wandering merc/brigand, very nasty piece of work chaotic....
Goonergeezer: cruel and viscious
chris107: "So keep those hands where I can see um!"
Goonergeezer: likes to inflict pain just to see people reactions
Smon: OK, you're in woods a few miles NW of the coast village of Selatine, just south of the Thrace river. The ruins of lost Thracia lie around 6 miles NW, at the foot of the escarpment that leads up into the Ghinarian Hills.
Smon: You're probably gravitating towards the Vale to the south, known as a welcoming place for the worst outlaws and brigands in Altanis.
Smon: /roll 1d100
Smon rolls 1d100 and gets: 62,
Smon: A warm rain is falling, fat raindrops that herald the onset of the wet season. And someone is yelling at you from the undergrowth, but in the pre-dawn light you can't see who. 
chris107: "Come on. Hands up!"
Smon: @Dick - last you saw of Lance & Jana they had found a secluded dell to disport themselves in, leaving you to your own devices. After sleeping you got hungry and went loking for breakfast, but have only found another human.
Goonergeezer: "Hands up?? tell you what, come out of the bushes and i wont tear you a new arsehole"
chris107: "Last chance. I got you covered. Who are you and what are you doing sneaking around here?"
Smon: handy map: https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9pnkXkDLCAtnnU859HjPUeb0VaHR7o212MwCkGiU5haSuZRQ-bMk0Qr7i3n600pkaHWn1BFUnsu6IjwEAQ8sXYkOts5UjlYkYIUVOsmB5Lb-5fs85iL6nTjpRIRL27EHUzJcli2IIfFA/s640/Selatine+Area.bmp
Goonergeezer: "Who am i? good question, I'm Cold, tired very hungry and rather pissed off at talking to a bush, thats who i am, who are you, show yourself yer little shit"
Goonergeezer: "and as fer sneaking, its bloody hard to sneak in all this armour, sneaking is more like hiding in a bush"
chris107: "I'll have you know I am uncommonly large and fierce for a Hobbit!" Comes the somewhat miffed voice from the bushes.
Goonergeezer: "Kalvins the name, whats yours, Holly Bush?"
Smon: (I'm thinking you probably came south through the ruins of Thracia, where the Thrace river dips underground. Possibly fleeing miscellaneous crimes in Verius to the north)
chris107: A very dirty and damp bundle of Hobbit stalks forth fro the undergroth.
Goonergeezer: ( a particulary bad robbery that went very wrong, left 4 people dead including 2 children)
Smon: (dodging cannibals and gnolls in the ruins) 
chris107: (Dick's still not sure what a cannibal is  )
Goonergeezer: "Bloody hell! you are big fer a 'Obbit, must be nearly 8 inches tall"
Smon: 
chris107: Dick is considerably more than 8 inches.
chris107: He pulls himself up to his (almost) 3 feet
Goonergeezer: (to be fair, kal has no idea of how big an inch is, just heard someone use the word before and it sounded like an inteligent word ti use when talking about size)
chris107: And looks Kalvin square in the knee-caps
chris107: "You'd best come 'n have some stew..."
Goonergeezer: "ello dere Little un, wots yoo dooin out ere den?"
chris107: Dick gestures and walks back towards the camp.
Goonergeezer: Kall follows on eagerly at the mention of free food
chris107: Dick whistles to warn Lance that he's on the way back.
Goonergeezer: "Stoo, wot kinds stoo is it den, not dem airy buggers wiv der bad Whiff is it, dont taste nice den do"
chris107: "Where you heading for kal?"
Smon: Dick leads Kall back towards the secluded Dell, whistling. 
Smon: /roll 1d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets: 5,
Smon: No rabbits, I'll say you caught a nice plump pair of wood rats. 
chris107: Dick looks at Kall with a dropped jaw - unable to make out his argot.
chris107: "MMmmmm wood rat! My favourite!"
Goonergeezer: "not that way" pointing to the way he has come from "Sum buggers is after me back day ways, on account of dem finkin i killed all dem peoples, i dint, only kills 3 of dem"
Goonergeezer: "oooo proper lardy daa's got rat in der stew, big bowl fer me"
chris107: "Humans are funny that way. Lance shagged our new friends sister in the shower and I got slung out  "
Goonergeezer: Kal starts wolfing down the stew grunting while doing so then lets out an enormous belch after finishing
chris107: Dick farts more loudly to outdo Kall's belch.
Goonergeezer: "sum peoples is like dat, dont likes shaggin wiv peoples watchin"
chris107: Dick nods
Goonergeezer: "Her, her, her, carfuls yyer dont cack yerself farting like dat"
chris107: "We been told that there's loads of treasure just up the river if you fancy taking a look?"
Smon: The rain is still falling as you reach camp, where I'll be kind and say Dick had a stew bowl broiling over a sputtering fire. Kall is finishing his stew when he sees the bushes part and out emerges a lovely and very busty wench, wearing only a loinclothhttps://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCHzRDfe5wH1A9NmBnTQ0zGMWOB1y-vnA7W0EVaI8UoApD_DM8ucdg9oRcpAhwRtERdJpcXN_uMU2geArnVOOx0mB3XTwtN2gIa1aXviZSQnz9b1EvU51BdPJBpzj_idXO4C-2BBTZ8cY/s400/6830_2.jpg
chris107: (Dick doesn't seem concerned about a little 'cack' in his pants)
Smon: (sorry, forgot to leave a space!)  Jana Vex looks nervously at the pair of desperados. "Lance is still sleeping, Dick... Who is your friend?"
chris107: "'Parently loads of old treasure. Just laying on the ground..."
chris107: "Oh morning Miss Vex, This is Kall. I found him lurking in't woods."
chris107: "He's going to come looking for treasure with us."
chris107: "Kall this is Miss Vex. She's the one who was shagging Lance in the shower."
Smon: Jana nods to Kal. "You will help us recover the golden idol of Apollo, stolen by the Beastmen?" Then she blushes at the shagging remark. 
Goonergeezer: "ello darlin, yous come to help me empty my sack, her, her her her"
Smon: Jana looks puzzled. "I'm sorry?"
Smon: She takes a step forward and holds out a hand, looking nervous. "I am Jana Vex, priestess of Mitra-Apollo."
chris107: "I think he may be foreign"
Goonergeezer: "yous a whore int you? shaggin in the woods?"
chris107: "Can't understand a bloody word." 
Goonergeezer: "arrr yous not a whore sorry dar;lin, mys ,mistake"
Smon: Jana blushes, withdrawing her hand. "No! I am no whore." She glares.
chris107: "So Miss Vex, shall we go find this idle? An idle what by the way?"
Goonergeezer: Kal stand up and exteneds a filthy hand "Kalvin's der name, and i is innosent, its a fit up, i didnt kill noone, i dont cares wot dey say eiver"
chris107: "I think Lance is pretty idle."
Smon: Jana: "There was a ...misunderstanding... and I was exiled. But if we recover the idol, perhaps my brother would let us return to Selatine."
chris107: "I thought you said you'd killed three of 'em Kall?"
Smon: Jana gingerly takes Kalvin's filthy hand/
Goonergeezer: "wots in it fer me den?"
Goonergeezer: "yer but yous a nasty bugger likes me, dis here a layde, and she is proper like, you dont tell laydes you kill children do yous
Smon: Jana gawps at the pair of brigands. 
Goonergeezer: realising what he has said he turn back to jana "its ok i dint make them scream for very long"
chris107: Dick nods wisely
Smon: Jana takes a horrified step back. "Lance...!" She turns and runs back into the bushes!
chris107: Dick turns to Kall
chris107: "Somefink you said?" He shrugs
Goonergeezer: "Nahhhh , i useally have dis fect on der wimmen"
chris107: "Shall we go look for this idle bugger then Kal?"
Goonergeezer: "do is get to kill fings horribly
chris107: "Oh yes! And there's canon balls too."
chris107:  
Goonergeezer: "any more rat stoo den befores we go?
Goonergeezer: "i can eats it whens we walkin"
chris107: "Half a rat left. I'll share it wiv you."
Goonergeezer: "awwww fanks yous my bestest frend" kal slaps the hobbit on the back in a friendly fashion although a little bit too hard
chris107: Dick shakes the worst of the grass of his cloak and makes ready to head up river with his new chum. "Ciggie Kall?"
chris107: He offers him one of his gaspers.
Goonergeezer: "demsd fings will ki;lls ya"
chris107: And lights a dock end for himself.
Goonergeezer: "gimmes one now and one fer ron"
chris107: "Nah, my doctor said they were good for me."
Smon: GM: The two new friends leave the camp and retrace Kall's steps back north-west through the woods, the roar of the Thrace river close by to the north.
Smon: /roll 1d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets: 5,
chris107: "I'll scout ahead if you like?"
chris107: Using his Hobbity country skills.
Smon: The woods are alive with fauna and flora - tree sloths, multihued birds, colourful orchids...
Goonergeezer: Kalhttp://www.aveleyman.com/ActorCredit.aspx?ActorID=29381 (Razors)
Smon: After a half-day's trek the forest parts to reveal great redstone cliffs rising ahead, three hundred feet high. The Thrace River cascades down falls from the top of the cliffs to the forest floor below, where the marble ruins of the lost city spread out around a central canal. A branch of the canal leads north into an expanse of swamp, which extends for miles north - Lance skirted it on his southward journey.
chris107: "Ooooo"
chris107: "Shall we go take a look?"
Goonergeezer: "wares dis idle den?"
Goonergeezer: "ye it neerly lunch and i's not stiffed anyfink yet, "
chris107: "Off we go then!" Beams Dick
chris107: Heading down towards the ruins.
Smon: You are currently just beyond the south-eastern edge of the ruins, directly ahead is an overgrown quarry some 300' across and 150' deep. To the north (your right) of it are the first buildings, beginning with a large squat brick building two stories tall, with only slits for windows.
chris107: Dick points towards this edifice. "There looks good."
Smon: Beyond this jail or barracks stretch numerous smaller buildings.
Smon: You reach the large building, finding no entrances on this side. 
chris107: Any sign of movement?
Goonergeezer: kal starts singing a happy little tune (yet stick yer dagger in, yer dagger out, in out in out yer moves it all aboot, yer cuts the dingly dangly and yer waves it all about..... her,her,her,her"
Smon: Everything is very still.
Goonergeezer: "shhhhhhh, i goes and looks fer a door or windows and come back"
Smon: North through the ruins you can see a vine-draped arena of antique style. In the distance to the west you can see a plaza, dominated by a dry fountain.
chris107: Dick slips into the undergrowth to keep watch.
Smon: Circling the large building, Kall finds the west wall partially collapsed, as if blown outwards by some eldritch force. From the gloomy interior comes a foul stench of death and the buzzing of many flies. 
Goonergeezer: any sound of movement from within?
Smon: No
Goonergeezer: kal creeps back to Dick "deres summat ded inside and flys but nuffin else i can see or ear"
Goonergeezer: "shall i goes in and den come back or yous wont to cum in wiv me?"
chris107: "I'll come wiv you."
chris107: Dick loads his crossbow
8:19pm  2013-10-16 Amalric Has entered the room
Smon: Hello at last A 
Amalric: ARSE!
Smon: LOL
Smon: Where were you?
Goonergeezer: "its der man hoo was shaggin dat bird"
chris107: Hey Graham 
8:20pm  2013-10-16 Amalric Has exited the room
Goonergeezer: "she wont a hore tho, id like to shag a bird dat wernt a hoar or tied up and prisner"
chris107: "That's 'im."
8:21pm  2013-10-16 Amalric Has entered the room
Amalric: farting around the house doing family stuff, forgot all about it
Amalric: fecking arse
Amalric: so...what's up? 
chris107: We're stalking the ruins looking for the idol'
Goonergeezer: "dat allrite, i not stiffed anyfink yet"
Smon: Doing some Wilderlands.
Goonergeezer: "her,her,her,her yous stiffed dat bird tho"
Amalric: (Is this your articulate mage, Ken?)
Smon: Lance woke up after a hard night of shagging to find Jana distraught, telling him that the halfling has taken up with an evil child-murdering brigand!
Goonergeezer: "i's not have books fer der spells so i's ficker dan lenny in dat book bout dem too guys hoo do der farming and big one kills dat bird"
Smon: By the time Lance has his clothes and armour on, Dick and his friend have left your camp, apparently heading for Thracia in search of the lost idol of Mitra-Apollo.
chris107: "He only killed two kids Lance."
chris107: "Not four like they said."
Goonergeezer: "and i dint let dem screem very long"
Smon: Jana has constructed a loincloth from bits & bobs in Lance's pack. https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCHzRDfe5wH1A9NmBnTQ0zGMWOB1y-vnA7W0EVaI8UoApD_DM8ucdg9oRcpAhwRtERdJpcXN_uMU2geArnVOOx0mB3XTwtN2gIa1aXviZSQnz9b1EvU51BdPJBpzj_idXO4C-2BBTZ8cY/s400/6830_2.jpg
Smon: Do you want to go after them?
Smon: There's still some rat stew in the pot 
chris107: (Not much though!)
chris107: (I shared the last rat with Kal, so it's just stew rather than rat stew  )
Smon: Graham you there?
Amalric: You can see why Lance was busy all night and all morning 
Smon: LOL
Smon: Even Dick's whistling didn't wake him!
Amalric: he'll offer Jana some rat stew, or they can split it, and he'll suggest that they catch up with Dick and....whatsisname
Amalric: (and stew is probably better without rat)
Smon: Jana picks at her rat-less rat stew, then the pair follow Dick & his friend north-west, south of the roaring Thrace River.
Smon: After a half-day's trek the forest parts to reveal great redstone cliffs rising ahead, three hundred feet high. The Thrace River cascades down falls from the top of the cliffs to the forest floor below, where the marble ruins of the lost city spread out around a central canal. A branch of the canal leads north into an expanse of swamp, which extends for miles north.
Smon: You are currently just beyond the south-eastern edge of the ruins, directly ahead is an overgrown quarry some 300' across and 150' deep. To the north (your right) of it are the first buildings, beginning with a large squat brick building two stories tall, with only slits for windows. Lance spots the small figures of Dick and a male human just south of this building.
Amalric: "Ah! The wonders of the ancient world! Who knows what strange and mysterious rituals were undertaken in these magnificent marble facades?!"
Amalric: "What a shithole."
Smon: As you approach them you detect the foul stench of decay from the building, its west wall partly collapsed. The male human greets you with strange words. Jana regards him fearfully.
Amalric: "You are right to be wary. Dick's not a bad chap, but he's not the sharpest knife in the murder victim, so to speak"
Amalric: "I have no idea who this fellow is, but he looks strange...mysterious...like a...twat"
chris107: 
Amalric: "What ho, Dick! Apologies for our tardiness, we ah...overslept..."
Amalric: "Who is your chum?"
chris107: "This is Kall. He was lurking while you were shagging."
Smon: Ken's PC - https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiI9BPtdCFa8qKY5XhD2jxAtAlRLPudqUwndnHAjS6ZxcDLMzmelGRfEbc-ZAasA5DG2iCO6SEW55qXee1Ue4IeW_vC2ObstGJqKL5OIR3d8iHjK-GvzZ4Ob2fYX4B8h7RG7cMoCv2UsXM/s1600/Kall.gif
Goonergeezer: I's Kal Ajznikov ans i dint kill dose 4 chilledren, dont care wot days says"
chris107: "He only killed three Lance."
Amalric: Lance stands open-mouthed, then coughs. "Quite. Good to meet you, Kall. Captain Lance Harcourt is my name, and this is...my good friend Jana, a priestess."
Amalric: (2 mins)
Goonergeezer: "yeee, i's seen her titties and she int a hore"
Smon: Jana hides behind Lance, looking nervously at Kal.
Smon: Jana whispers: "I think he's a murderer, an outlaw..."
Goonergeezer: Kal grins a braod smile revealing rotten teeth with a whiff of breath that could fell a charging rhino at forty paces"
Goonergeezer: he pounts to the hobbit "He cacked himsel a bit dis morn"
chris107: "We're just going to investigate in here." Dick points towards the flie blown red brick building.
chris107: (Dick doesn't even blush)
Amalric: "Nice. Well then, lead on!"
Goonergeezer: kal turns bvack around and carefully picks his way over the rubble and into the building
chris107: Dick follows carfully. His crossbow at the ready.
Amalric: "When one is about to enter the lion's den, one often finds it useful to feed it scraps to keep it busy, my dear."
chris107: "Sorry about the rat stew Lance."
chris107: "I only caught two."
Amalric: (Lance would say 'One can't always choose one's bedfellows', but decided it was inappropriate in light of recent events)
Goonergeezer: "its best to go in der lines den whens yous is hungry or else dere is too much for yous to eat and yous waist lots of it"
Smon: Inside the building the stench is stronger. As your eyes adjust to the gloom you see battle-butchered corpses of men, and other things...
chris107: "And I heard you saying you had been eating pussy all night so guessed you wouldn't be hungry."
Amalric: "Two is a feast to the hungry man, Dick."
Amalric: "And..."
Amalric: "I...have nothing to say to that."
Smon: Jana stays outside, unwilling to enter this place of death.
chris107: Dick pokes around. What do the 'others' look like?
Smon: From the light filtering in you can see dead men, bodies painted in black & skull-white as if aping skeletons. There are smaller numbers of hyena-headed gnolls, and a huge bull-headed minotaur crushed under the rubble.
Smon: Rats skitter away at your approach.
Goonergeezer: seeing corpses strewn about kal immediatlt goes about searching for any valubles or small change on them. "Ooo moor rats fer dinner?"
Smon: The corpses are perhaps a week dead. Weapons are scattered around, and two of the dead men wear ornate bronze armour of bands and plates, crude but effective looking.
Goonergeezer: "cant see dem lines dat der ovver won woz on aboot"
Smon: /roll 1d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets: 1,
Smon: On the dead minotaur Kal finds a pouch containing three good-sized rubies (150gp each)
chris107: "Wow!"
Amalric: Lance watches from the doorway, his eyes wide at the rubies. He remembers to turn around and smile reassuringly at Jana
Amalric: "Anything else?"
Smon: Looking around, it looks as if the human savages were in this two-storey building when they were attacked by the beastmen. Something inside the building -magic? caused the west wall to collapse, killing many of the attackers. Scattered tracks lead off from here west and north-west. 
Goonergeezer: only dese 5 rubees
Smon: Jana smiles nervously back at Lance.
chris107: 
Smon: In all there are 24 of the beastmen and over 40 dead savages, mostly warriors.
chris107: "Two each the Kall?"
Smon: There are 3.
Goonergeezer: (1, 2,5, many, lots)
Goonergeezer: (not sure where 3 come though)
Smon: Jana: "It looks as if this was a lair of the cannibals, the Deathwalkers, attacked by the Beastmen. The Beastmen are the ones who took our Idol in their last raid."
Goonergeezer: (be worried when he says he only killed 3 children)
Amalric: "One each, my mathematically challenged friends! I shall share mine - some of it - with Jana. After a fashion. So to speak..."
Amalric: "Are there stairs up somewhere?"
Smon: Jana looks out across the city. "I think I can see smoke in the distance, beyond the canal."
Amalric: "More beastmen?"
Smon: Lance finds stairs up to the second level - it looks to have been a prison, converted into hurriedly abandoned living quarters for a small tribe of savages. There are no bodies here, and a few simple clay bowls, wooden utensils etc.
chris107: "This looks nice..."
Goonergeezer: "wot culur is der smoke? blak meens dey is burnin meet, wite is burnin wood, lots dey is burnin wet wood"

chris107: Dick is upstairs.
Goonergeezer: kal will stick with Dick (his new bestest friend)
Smon: GM: While the others are searching upstairs, Lance stays with Jana in the fresher air by the collapsed wall. Suddenly a large, hairy, hyena-headed humanoid emerges from the ruins 100' or so to the northwest! It sees him and Jana and chuckles, hefting a spear.

Smon: The gnoll laughs in a high pitched voice, only a flesh wound.
Amalric: "I'm just toying with this cretin, I'll have him finished in a mo..."
Smon: Kal comes racing downstairs as Dick tries to circle round for a clear shot.

Smon: And the gnoll's head goes flying across the mossy ground.
Smon: Nicely done 
Amalric: "See? Nothing to it. These gnolls know nothing of proper combat, or the real dirty pirate stuff, for that matter. Brainless mor...oh, hello chaps!"
Smon: Jana looks amazed. "Truly you are a mighty warrior!"
chris107: Dick grumbles that he didn't get a chance to shoot it 
Amalric: "I thought you knew that already, my dear?" replies Lance with a wink
Goonergeezer: kals face drops like a stone "yous stiffed it" he turns his back crosses his arms and goes into a sulk
Smon: Jana: "I have seen those things kill many men..." She looks across the ruins. "I don't see any more - was it alone?"
Amalric: "Let's hope so. One poses no problem, a bunch of them...trickier. Though the boys want to play, by the look of it."
Goonergeezer: "I drows my sord run downe and den its ded, s'not fare"

chris107: "That's perfectly good fur you heathen."
Amalric: "A cube? Let me see..."
Smon: You don't see any more of them. Kal might know that gnolls usually hunt at night.
Amalric: What are the faces on the cube like?
Smon: Jana: "Gnolls are foul beasts. Centuries ago they came from the north and destroyed the empire of the Alryans..."
Smon: One face is a stylised Ghinoran helm, one an old greybeard man, one a youth, one a maiden, another a stout matron, another an aged crone.
Amalric: "Do these mean anything to you, Jana?"
Goonergeezer: "deys is foule coz dey smells and der meat is tough and bad"
Smon: Jana looks at the cube. "They might be gods? Ares, Zeus, Dionysus, Aphrodite, Hera and... I don't know the crone."
Goonergeezer: "if youse season it and broil it over nite den its a bit better but not a lot"
Amalric: "We shall take your word for it, Kall."
Smon: "It could be an augur, to tell the future, what fate has in store."
Smon: (will need to stop shortly, very tired)
Amalric: "Let's take it with us. No rolling it though, guys."
chris107: (No problem)
Goonergeezer: "i had augur off a hore wonce, it woz nise"
Amalric: (no problem)
Amalric: Lance takes Jana round the back for a quickie, just to keep her sweet
Smon: GM: Lance takes the adoring Jana round the back where the smell isn't so bad, and as the sounds of renewed lovemaking echo across the ruined city, I'll stop there. 
Smon: I'll post log - Graham rem the game next time! 
chris107: Nice one Simon. See you guys next week
