chris107: Morning Simon
Kjato Ragfoot: Hello
8:29am 2015-5-15 chris107 Has exited the room
Smon: Hi chris, hi Kjato.
8:32am 2015-5-15 chris107 Has entered the room
Smon: Guess I'll give it a coule minutes see who shows.
Smon: How's your Internet chris?
chris107: Perfect thanks Simon. All mended
Smon: ok it just said >>8:29am 2015-5-15 chris107 Has exited the room Smon: Hi chris, hi Kjato. 8:32am 2015-5-15 chris107 Has entered the room<<
chris107: Oops
chris107: Certainly had no issues for the last few days.
chris107: Fingers crossed
chris107: Am I still here?
Smon: yup
chris107: Phew
Smon: I gave Malenn another hit die for the Roper fight.
Smon: She rolled a 2 though, so +4 hp, max 56 now.
chris107: Yeah!
chris107: She's a great help, that's for sure.
Smon: Currently is at 55/56, with 1 pt of lay on hands, & 4 smites.
chris107: I have Hakeem at 64/71HP. Used 1 berserk, 2 rages and 2 healing dice.
Smon: Yup, matches what I have... Berserk'd Exhaustion means you have disad on ability checks I'm afraid... ok suggest we start with Hakeem
Smon: Bjornalf & Malenn, others can join as they show.
Kjato Ragfoot: Where are we? Still near the roper fight area or did you play in the meanwhile?
Smon: no, you have just completed short rest in the roper cage.
Smon: cave
Smon: Rem you can check blog for updates - http://smons.blogspot.co.uk/
chris107: Mmmm I have no map of this are Kjato.
Kjato Ragfoot: I have a rather bad map, but I do have one.
chris107: Any signs that mr. T. has roused the place?
Smon: The caves are Y shaped, if you started at the bottom and took the left fork, with various side caves, you are in one now.
Smon: Nope,
Smon: All quiet.
chris107: Okay. Shall we press deeper in?
Kjato Ragfoot: We have three ways to follow, if I see that correctly.
8:42am 2015-5-15 atherton Has entered the room
atherton: hi fella's
atherton: can't play today
chris107: Hiya Dave
Smon: Leaving the Roper cave and heading back west to the main tunnel, you could either go right (north) back the way you came, or left (south) pressing on deeper. You can still see lamplight to the south, coming from the right/west fork of what looks like a 4-way intersection 70' to the south.
chris107: That's a shame.
Smon: For shame!
Smon: thx for letting us know.
chris107: Let's investigate the lamplight.
Kjato Ragfoot: OK. That is what my map shows as well.
8:44am 2015-5-15 atherton Has exited the room
chris107: Creep up towards the lamplight.
chris107: Sword in hand.
Smon: OK Hakeem Malenn & Bjornalf head left/south. A cool breeze comes from ahead. At the intersection they see that the tunnel south descends sharply down rough stone steps and opens into a cavern below. To the left/east a broad 15' tunnel/cave comes to a dead end after 40'.
Smon: To the west is the light..
Kjato Ragfoot: And a further way to the south?
chris107: No0 sounds coming from any of the tunnels?
Smon: A tunnel runs west 15' then opens out into what looks to be a large cave stretching north, far wall 25' further west but most of it is hidden from your view. At the corner where the cave opens up, a torch is burning in a sconce.
Smon: Bjornalf you can tell it is an enchanted Everburning Torch.
Smon: /roll d20+2
Smon rolls 1d20+2 and gets: 1616, (+2) = 18
chris107: Nice
chris107: Can we take it?
Smon: Hakeem, you stop to listen and can hear two voices talking softly in the cave, out of sight. Sounds 1 male 1 female.
chris107: The western cave?
chris107: Hakeem gestures for silence.
Smon: It's 6' off the ground in an iron sconce at the entrance to the west cave, in which you hear the voices.
Kjato Ragfoot: Oho, a magic torch. That is useful - they never burn down.
Smon: /roll d20
Smon rolls 1d20 and gets: 2020,
Smon: heh
chris107: Thanks. Hakeem prepares to dash in and attack with surprise. He finger gestures this to the rest. Then creeps towards the cave mouth before sprinting in.
Smon: A voice calls out to you from the cave: "Come in, friends!"
Smon: It sounds female,
chris107: Mmmm
Smon: A male voice responds: "Oh Glevina, don't welcome them in again!"
Smon: "Don't be silly Thadeus, I'm sure they'll be much nicer than the last lot..."
chris107: Hakeem walks forward then (when he see's who's there) will surprise attack (if they look like enemies)
Kjato Ragfoot: We are the nicest people for at least 10 inches around!
chris107:
Smon: Hakeem walks forward to the cave entrance. Turning right he sees a pleasantly appointed living space with wall hangings, rugs, flatware & gourds, two beds fashioned from animal skins.
Kjato Ragfoot: (Is there any magic in the cave except for the torch?)
Smon: Two red-complexioned Altanian Elves are sitting on the beds, chatting to each other - they look like brother and sister, with the weird beauty typical of the Elves.
chris107: Mmmm not what I was expecting.
Smon: The cave is lit by two everburning lanterns, and the male elf's rune-carved blade on his lap radiates strong magic.
chris107: H greets them
chris107: "Greetings, what brings you to this place? Nice sword."
Smon: He wears reinforced leather, she a short skirt and midriff-baring top, with laced slippers.
Kjato Ragfoot: Bjornalf nods friendly.
Smon: The girl elf stands, smiling. The male grunts dismissively at Hakeem.
Smon: Girl: "Welcome, strangers! I am Glevina, this is my brother Thadeus!"
chris107: (Does Hakeem know what Demon Slayer looks like?)
chris107: H introduces his friends.
Smon: (should be an Altanian Greatsword. This is a longsword, seems to have a dark glaze over the metal with elven runes on the blade)
chris107: "You have picked a perilous place to call home Glevina."
Smon: /roll d20+7
Smon rolls 1d20+7 and gets: 1414, (+7) = 21
Smon: /roll d20+4
Smon rolls 1d20+4 and gets: 1313, (+4) = 17
Smon: Glevina smiles back at Bjornalf in a very friendly manner - and turns to answer Hakeem.
Smon: "Oh yes, it's quite cosy really..."
Smon: "Demonslayer keeps the Cultists away."
chris107: "Demonslayer? The famous sword?"
Kjato Ragfoot: "What a strange coincidence, we are here to keep Cultists away as well."
Smon: Thadeus grunts: "Wretched creatures, can't even stand to be near it. I supose you're looking for it?"
Smon: /roll d100
Smon rolls 1d100 and gets: 535353,
chris107: "Indeed we are. Do you know where we may find it?"
Smon: Thadeus: "First right, down the stairs in the tomb of Clevenus."
Smon: Glevina giggles. "Watch out for the giant maggots!"
chris107: "Many thanks. I assume it will be well guarded?"
chris107: (OOC Giant Maggots - ewww)
Smon: Glevina smiles again at Bjornalf, brushing back her hair. "Well we didn't try to take it - I think it needs a Human Hero? Brave Warrior against the Darkness? Nothing to do with us."
Smon: "There was a big scary face yelling at us, and the maggots - we hurried through there."
Smon: Glevina: "...We came that way from the south caves, before the water level raised..."
Smon: Thadeus: "I told you it was foolish to adventure in the Wet Season!"
Smon: Glevina rolls her eyes: "Who's a grouchy grumpus today?!"
Kjato Ragfoot: I take it you are siblings?
Smon: Thadeus nods. Glevina nods and smiles. "That's right. Twins, actually."
chris107: Hakeems eyes are bright with excitment knowing that the famous sword is so close.
Kjato Ragfoot: Why are you living in these caves? With cultists, monsters and the damp air? It must be horrible to keep your hair fashionable in these surroundings.
Smon: Glevina: "So, we're stuck in this boring bit of the megadungeon. North of here is all traps and boring stuff."
chris107: (Another good reason to head south )
Smon: Glevina smiles warmly at Bjornalf, and giggles, laying a delicate hand on his shoulder. "Oh, don't be silly! We're Elves!"
Kjato Ragfoot: Hmm. There is a soon to be abandoned magic tower not very far from here.
Smon: Glevina: "My hair NEVER gets messed up! And it's not that damp here..."
chris107:
Smon: Thadeus: "These caves are dry, until you pass the Tomb of Clevenus. The lower levels are all flooded, though."
Kjato Ragfoot: Well, what I thought to be dampness must be caused by your presence then.
chris107: "Thank you for the information."
Smon: Glevina laughs: "You're so funny! And charming... You must have cast a Charm spell on me!"
Smon: Thadeus rolls his eyes. So does Malenn.
chris107: H rolls his eyes at Malenn
Smon: She grins back.
chris107: Does the name of Clevenus mean anything to us?
Smon: Thadeus: "You want any other information before you go? We don't know where the Cultists main lair is, if you're after them. Somewhere below the flooded levels."
Smon: According to local tales Clear Meadows was built on the site of the larger Nerathi town of Verdant Meadows, the original city having been destroyed in the 'Starfall of Demons' 500 years ago (3946 BCCC). It's said a mighty Altanian hero, the Eldritch Sword Knight known to history as Clevenus (his Nerathi name) later forged the Demonslayer sword Kalthalax from star metal taken from one of the Demon Cysts, and used it to hunt down and destroy the remaining demons. When Clevenus died he was buried with his great sword in caves south of the ruined town. 250 years later, the Good and Holy St Irig, 'Last Hero of Nerath', is said to have taken up the Altanian sword Kalthalax the Demon Slayer when he defended the new town of Clear Meadows against the Gnolla Ruin Horde and their demon allies at the end of the Gnoll Times in 4198 BCCC, thus largely saving Ghinaria from the devastation that befell most of the Empire of Nerath. Legend says Irig then returned the Demonslayer to Clevenus' tomb, where it sleeps still.
chris107: "Is there a way to get beyond the flooded areas?"
Smon: Glevina nods. "The cultists must have a way! Secret doors, magic portals and stuff."
Kjato Ragfoot: That explains why Mr Tentacle said we would never reach it without his help.
Smon: Thadeus: "They have some way to access the caves north of here without passing the flooded zone."
chris107: Thanks.
Kjato Ragfoot: You should watch out, the cultists are into some extremely kinky stuff with abducted woman.
chris107: "Shall we go visit the tomb of good sir Clevenus then?"
Kjato Ragfoot: Indeed, we should.
Kjato Ragfoot: The sooner you get that sword, the sooner we can behead that annoying magician.
chris107: "Thanks again chaps, you have been very helpful."
Kjato Ragfoot: And I definitely want to move into that tower.
Kjato Ragfoot: Helpful and charming.
chris107: "A fine plan Bjo!"
Kjato Ragfoot: It was a pleasure to meet such nice people in a dungeon - you would be very welcome to visit us in our homes one day.
chris107: Off we trot down the steps to the tomb then. Keeping a weather eye out for yucky maggots.
Smon: Glevina nods to Bjornalf. "Don't worry about us, we're high level adventurers! They'll not get me!" Thadeus grunts: "Medium-high..."
Kjato Ragfoot: Well, if they do - Thadeus just needs to ask and we will help him rescue you.
chris107: "Yes anything we can do to help, just ask."
Smon: Thadeus snorts. "Thanks for the offer, human. I think I can take care of a few K'tulu cultists and their Aberrant Entities..."
chris107: to M - "What nice people. I don't think I've met an elf before."
Smon: Glevina: "Don't be rude Thadeus! It was a very kind offer to rescue me from a terrible tentacley fate!"
chris107: (Yeah I guess if you live comfortably among cultists, traps and ropers then you can look after yourself.)
Kjato Ragfoot: (Those are the strange elfs I ever met... They seem to stem directly from some kind of soap opera)
chris107:
chris107: Onwards to Demonslayer and Oriax's beheading
Smon: Malenn: "Thank you for your help, Wise Elves." Glevina giggles. Thadeus nods curtly, eyeing Malenn's breasts. "Look at the size of those... " he mutters. Malenn blushes and frowns slightly.
Smon: Glevina waves you goodbye, while Thadeus gets back to polishing his sword.
chris107: H puts a protective arm around M
chris107: As we leave
Kjato Ragfoot: If Thadeus ever visits us, he will most likely want to stay with Rey.
Kjato Ragfoot: Bjornalf waves goodbye as well.
Smon: Glevina: "Don't mind Thadeus! He's terribly rude! Do call again - any time!"
Smon: Leaving the Elf Cave you return to the intersection.
chris107: Down the steps then.
Smon: You'll need to descend the steps in single file to do it safely - Hakeem Bjornalf Malenn?
Kjato Ragfoot: Well, we have a dead end in front, elves in our rear, and a sword to our south.
chris107: That sounds good to me.
Kjato Ragfoot: Bjornalf last - I do not want to be crushed between Hakeem and Malenn.
Smon: ok
Smon:
chris107: hehe
Kjato Ragfoot: (As often as they snuggle, that is a high risk)
Smon: You descend the damp stone steps about 20' into a large cavern, the ceiling 15' high.
Smon: The floor seems to be moving slightly, shifting or squirming unwholesomely...
chris107: mmmmm
Kjato Ragfoot: I will take a closer look. What is the floor made of?
chris107: H pokes at it with his sword
Smon: You realise it is hundreds - thousands? - of enormous white maggots the size of a dwarf's arm, bathed in a shallow sticky lake of bilious green slime.
Smon: H pokes - a maggot lunges at him..
chris107: How deep?
Smon: /roll d20+5
Smon rolls 1d20+5 and gets: 1717, (+5) = 22
Smon: Only about 18" deep.
chris107: "Arrrggg!"
Smon: The maggot clamps onto H's arm - 4 dmg.
Smon: Malenn: "hyaa!"
chris107: 60/71HP
Smon: /roll d20+5x2
Smon Rolls 1d20+5x2 and gets:
12 (+5) = 17
4 (+5) = 9
chris107: He steps back quickly
Smon: She stabs it dead, it falls off.
Kjato Ragfoot: So, that is basically a pool filled with maggots at the bottom?
chris107: Letting M impale the horrid thing with her rapier.
Smon: 18 inches shallow slimy water over the floor of the cave.
Kjato Ragfoot: Ah, the whole cave is filled with those maggots?
9:26am 2015-5-15 Eliana Has entered the room
chris107: Hi Eli
Smon: 20' south along the east wall is a tunnel exit above the gloop level. Ahead some kind of altar or tomb stands before a huge stalagmite nearly 20' across. The altar/tomb is about 40' from you.
Smon: hi E
*Eliana steps into a 5e horror....*
Eliana: Hi!
Smon: The rest of the maggots are ignoring you.
Smon:
Kjato Ragfoot: Hmm. Anything magic in that cave?
Smon: What's your light source? And what range det magic?
chris107: I wonder if a sleep spell would keep them quiet long enough to dash through?
Kjato Ragfoot: 120 feet Darkvision
Smon: Bjornalf can see in the dark... he can make out bas relief glyphs on the cave walls, Demon Lords traficking with Elves and Men, and a war between bands of Elves.
chris107: just need 2 mins. window cleaner here.
Kjato Ragfoot: Detect Magic: 30 feet around me.
Smon: ok you are out of det magic range for the altar/tomb.
Kjato Ragfoot: The maggots are not magic, I take?
Smon: The story on the glyphs shows a defeated band of Elves journeying down into a dark Underworld.
Smon: no
Eliana: (nice idea magic maggots...)
Kjato Ragfoot: That would explain where those two are coming from: The Underworld
Smon: Malenn eyes the maggots: "Those Elves said they came through here ok. Of course, they *are* 'high level adventurers'..."
Kjato Ragfoot: Or they can levitate.
Kjato Ragfoot: Or climb along the ceiling.
Smon: Something is happening above the tomb. A huge, semi-translucent face wavers into existence...
Kjato Ragfoot: Hmm. They mentioned that as well.
Smon: Floating high in the air, the eerie fuscia visage of an adult male, sinister, with thin slits for eyes and a faraway, mesmerised look.
Smon: It looks a lot like an Orichalan, the Dragon Lords who once ruled these lands...
Kjato Ragfoot: (Question: If I cast "shatter" on the maggot lake, could I clear a path between us and the altar?)
chris107: back
Smon: The face speaks! "LEAVE THIS PLACE AND I SHALL ALLOW YOUR MORTAL FLESH TO REMAIN UNSULLIED. THOSE WISHING TO STAY AND VIOLATE MY SANCTUARY SHALL DIE HORRIBLY!"
chris107: "BY BONDOR WE WILL NOT!"
Smon: Shatter would clear an area 20' across, hopefully. 2 of them could clear 40', to the tomb.
Smon: The face does not answer, merely staring into space.
Kjato Ragfoot: I believe that is an illusion.
Smon: Malenn nods. "It's not looking at us."
chris107: H looks a little bashful at been tricked by the illusion.
Kjato Ragfoot: I could try to shatter those maggots away, but I would be completely out of magic afterwards.
Kjato Ragfoot: And they would probably start to be replaced, so we would need to hurry.
chris107: If we manage to secure Demonslayer ...
chris107: H can move pretty quickly.
Kjato Ragfoot: But we cannot actually SEE Demonslayer at the moment, as far as I understood.
Smon: Malenn nods. "They don't look like they move fast. If we were quick..."
chris107: Worth a try?
Kjato Ragfoot: It might be very well within that altar, together with a mummy or something like that.
chris107: I must have been chatting to the window cleaner when that came out
Smon: Bjornalf can see the tomb ok - a large stone sarcophagus in the shape of a humanoid, very smooth & polished. The top rests on the bottom.
chris107: H will take that chance gladly to liberate the great sword.
Kjato Ragfoot: OK. I will describe what I see: There is a tomb about 40 feet from here. Demonslayer is most likely within and I assume that illusion warns us about the danger that raises if we open the tomb.
Kjato Ragfoot: If you are willing to take the risk, I will shatter that maggots away.
chris107: I am indeed. H says a prayer to Bondor.
Smon: back
Kjato Ragfoot: OK. Then Bjornalf will shatter those maggots away with two precisely timed Shatters, wishing Hakeem and Malenn the best of luck with that altar.
Smon: CRANG! CRASH! Bjornalf unleashes his magics... the sonic wave sweeps over the maggots killing dozens.
chris107: H leaps into action. Sprinting down the cleared path.
chris107: Straight to the tomb.
Smon: The magics beyond the immediate blast area writhe in discomfort, crawling further away - your path to the tomb seems clear. Hakeem and Malenn sprint forward.
Smon: Hakeem is faster and reaches the tomb first.
Smon: The face is fading away.
Smon: Is B staying at the steps?
Kjato Ragfoot: Yes, B is staying at the steps.
Kjato Ragfoot: Preparing his crossbow.
chris107: H takes a lit torch with him and looks for somewhere to secure it.
Smon: The sarcophagus is embedded with small bits of coral, gemstones, crystals, glass, and bone.
Smon: H lights a torch.
Smon: The maggots show no sign of returning en masse.
Smon: The tomb lid seems constructed to be slid and lifted off via grooves.
chris107: He will try and lift the top. His sword leaned somewhere close to hand.
chris107: He slides it
Smon: /roll d20+3
Smon rolls 1d20+3 and gets: 1414, (+3) = 17
Smon: Hakeem deftly slides it down to where it 'unlocks' then lifts it, it opens like a clam shell.
chris107: Nice.
Smon: Inside is the fairly well preserved corpse of a pale humanoid, with the same face as the illusion. It wears fine black wizard robes embroidered with draconic forms.
Smon: In the left hand is a long thin wand of bone, in the right the hilt of a massive black iron greatsword with a ruby pommel and disturbing scarlet glyphs along the prodigious blade.
Smon: They don't look Altanian. More... demonic?
chris107: Mmmm H takes the sword.
Smon: The corpse's eyes blink open as Hakeem reaches for the sword. It sits up.
Smon: "HEY, HANG ON THERE JUST A MINUTE."
chris107: "Arrrggghhh! It lives!"
Smon: Glowing lights in the empty eye sockets glare at Hakeem.
Smon: "ONLY TRUE FOES OF EVIL MAY BEAR THIS BLADE."
chris107: "I am Hakeem, I am here for Demonslayer."
Smon: "OTHERWISE YOU WILL BE CORRUPTED."
chris107: "I serve Bondor, I fear no corruption."
Kjato Ragfoot: Hmm. Did he just say that is basically Malenns sword?
Smon: The corpse nods affably. "WELCOME, HAKEEM. FOR WHAT GREAT TASK DO YOU SEEK KALTHALAX?"
Smon: Malenn looks fearful, despite her Bravery special power.
Smon: The corpse coughs. "*cough* Excuse me... throat a little dry. Been dead a long time."
chris107: "To dstroy the cult of wicked K'tulu and rid the world of the evil which is Oriax."
Smon: He continues in a more normal voice: "K'tulu, eh? With Irig it was the Gnoll-Demon Yeenoghu. Who is Oriax?"
chris107: "Oriax is an evil wizard who threatens all of Gihnaria."
Kjato Ragfoot: "Mr Celenevus, do you want some chicken broth for your throat? My housekeeper makes great one and I took some with me."
Smon: Clevenus turns in Bjornalf's direction: "Eh? Come over here, young man. I can't see you properly."
Kjato Ragfoot: OK. Bjornalf gets closer.
Smon: The Orichalan squints at Bjornalf as he approaches. "A fellow Warlock! Excellent!"
Smon: "You'll know all about the risks of Corruption! *cough*"
chris107: OOC - One of the more pleasent undead I've encountered
Kjato Ragfoot: Hm. Well. I mainly nearly drowned and somehow got chosen by the Queen of the Ocean.
Smon: C: "Now, all of you... You must promise to return the Sword here when your tasks are done. Keep it too long and you'll become one of Them."
Kjato Ragfoot: Who is them?
Smon: "Ah yes, Melora, lovely Goddess. Very sweet."
Smon: "The Demons! The things that destroyed Verdant Meadows. From the star-eggs...."
Smon: He frowns. "Oh dear. I'm glad you wakened me."
chris107: "When Oriax lays cold and dead and the deprivations of this wicked god are ended I swear I will return Demonslayer to you."
Smon: "I'm sensing something... Demon Eggs, down below. Someone has been gathering them. And they're close to hatching. It's happening again..." he sighs.
Kjato Ragfoot: Ah. THAT is what those strange cultists are about.
chris107: "It would seem we can help each other..."
Smon: "...Probably your K'tulu cultists. The eggs come from the Invisible Moon. Perhaps some of them didn't hatch. Or... this is very strange..."
Kjato Ragfoot: It also explains why they gather females of childbearing age.
Smon: "...They are bringing them here! From the Past!"
chris107: "A fiendish plot. We must stop them."
Kjato Ragfoot: Those cultists are way stranger than I thought.
Smon: He nods. "Yes, females can be impregnated, to make more. It was a hard fight the first time. I needed my sword. Went through five Heroes wielding it, too!"
Smon: "Some say the Demons are of Markab origin.... I wouldn't be surprised. The ancient enemy..."
chris107:
Kjato Ragfoot: We are only three. We definitely need three more heroes to wield that sword.
Smon: Clevenus looks at Hakeem and smiles brightly. "Oh, cheer up there! I'm sure there won't be nearly as many Demons this time! And they're not even hatched yet!"
chris107: H is elated that he will get chance to fight demons
Smon: "Stop the Hatching and you should be fine. *yawn*"
Smon: Clevenus sighs. "Feeling a little sleepy... Oh, would you like to borrow my Wand, too?"
chris107: H feels sure it will look good on his application form
Kjato Ragfoot: What does the wand too and is that also affecting by corrupting?
Smon: "Corrupt? No, a simple Wand of Lightning... slight issue with occasional polarity reversal, otherwise it's fine."
Smon: He offers it to Bjornalf.
Kjato Ragfoot: Oh. Thanks.
Kjato Ragfoot: Do you want it back as well?
chris107: "Can you tell us how to find these eggs?"
Smon: He nods. "Oh yes. The next heroes will need it too, I expect! Have to look to the future, you know!"
Smon: "*yawn*... Find... hmm.. cultists secret trapdoor under their banquet hall on this level... "
chris107: "You have our thanks Clevenus"
Smon: "Down stairs... right left... secret door... right... portal... need to activate... K'tulu magic.... *zzzz*"
Smon: Clevenus lowers, slumping down into repose.
Smon: His hands are now open, you may take the artifacts if desired.
Kjato Ragfoot: Bjornalf will take the wand.
chris107: H will take the sword. Making an oath before Bondor to return it once his work is done.
Kjato Ragfoot: I have no idea what he meant with polarization issues.
chris107: Then slide the casing closed.
Smon: The sword hilt is warm to the touch. There is a feeling as if something lives within it.
Smon: The wand is cool bone.
Smon: Malenn: "The maggots are getting closer again... Shall we go?"
chris107: (Is there an image of Demonslayer?)
chris107: "Yes lets."
Smon: (no)
Kjato Ragfoot: Leaving sounds like a good idea.
chris107: "Best go find this banqueting hall."
Smon: This looks right - ruby pommel - http://fc04.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2014/192/d/3/greatsword_w_i_p_02_by_demonslayer360666-d7q93w8.jpg
Smon: There are two ways out - the side tunnel or back up the steps.
chris107: Oh my that is a fine sword
Kjato Ragfoot: Side tunnel. Clevenus said something about "this level".
chris107: good thinking
chris107: Side tunnel it is then.
Smon: GM: You take the eastern tunnel out.
Smon: /roll d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets: 22,
Smon: successfully avoiding maggots.
chris107:
Smon: The broad tunnel runs east some 30' to a T intersection.
Smon: Reaching the intersection you see that to the left/north it opens into a large cave, damp.
Smon: To the right/south it opens into a cave with side caves off to e and w, and a tunnel exit sloping down in the s wall.
Smon: /roll d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets: 22,
chris107: Any signs of habbitation?
Smon: Red light glimmers from out the entry of the western side cave.
Smon: The light is turning more blue.
Kjato Ragfoot: Öh?
Smon: It seems to shimmer & twinkle.
Kjato Ragfoot: Hmm. Let's check the north first.
Smon: You go north?
chris107: okay
chris107: h keeping an eye on the twinkling
Smon: The twinkling is turning back more red.
Smon: You turn left and enter the northern cave.
Smon: It is large, damp, over 40' across, no visible exits. The floor is unusually smooth.
Smon: /roll d20
Smon rolls 1d20 and gets: 1313,
Kjato Ragfoot: I will take a closer look at the floor.
Smon: You see something big oozing towards you out of the darkness...
chris107: Hakeem grasps Demonslayer.
Smon: Dark greenish blue with fragments of skeleton in the transparent mass, and some kind of cylinder, a scroll tube perhaps. It's about 10' across and 4' high.
Kjato Ragfoot: I will call forth my pact weapon
Smon: OOC Currently Demonslayer is a +1 greatsword.
chris107: (Thanks )

Smon: Malenn: "Don't touch it!"
chris107: "Grrrrr!"
Kjato Ragfoot: Hmm. OK. Retreat?
Smon: Is Bjornalf doing anything?
Smon: B retreats?
chris107: Retreat
Kjato Ragfoot: Oh. I will Poison Spray it.
Kjato Ragfoot: I will retreat with the others, but not alone.
Smon: /roll d20+3
chris107: Even H can see that hacking at the thing will do no good. We best retreat and make plans.
Smon rolls 1d20+3 and gets: 99, (+3) = 12
Smon: fails save... it's poison dmg?

Smon: /roll d12

Smon: Malenn dodges it - LUCKY.
chris107:
chris107: Shall we beat a retreat and make plans?
Kjato Ragfoot: I have two of the burning oil thingies left.
Smon: Guess H dropped his torch on the ground...
Kjato Ragfoot: Yes.
chris107: Lets put some distance between us, light some torches.
Smon: Demonslayer is now glowing, shedding red light 20' radius.
chris107: Ooooo! Nice
Kjato Ragfoot: Can we run from the oozing thingy?
Smon: You can try.
Smon: GM: You Disengage and run back down the tunnel, the ooze following you at a good pace.
chris107: Back across the horrible maggots?
Smon: You reach the intersection - ahead towards the red/blue light or turn right into Clevenus' tomb.
chris107: Or make enough distance to light torches and try attacking it with fire?
Kjato Ragfoot: Well. You light the two burning oils I have and throw them at the ooze.
Kjato Ragfoot: I will Poison Spray it again.
Kjato Ragfoot: I vote for the second plan.
chris107: Okay we follow Kjato's plan.
Smon: K can poison spray while the others light oil.
Smon: It's nearly on you as K casts another poison mist at it...
Smon: /roll d20+3

Smon: K is inside the ooze right now...
Smon: M & H light the oil flasks...
chris107: Bugger!
Kjato Ragfoot: Oh. Right. I could have tried that...
Smon: The thing burns Bjornalf horribly, acid gloop smothering him.
chris107: Will Bjo be engulfed with flame if we hurl the oil?
Smon: Well, the ooze might protect him a bit.
chris107: Either way he's in trouble if he's inside the gloop
Smon: (resistance - half dmg)
chris107: We'll have to try I guess?
Kjato Ragfoot: Either we kill that thing this round or Bjornalf is toast.
chris107: We hurl the oil at the thing
Smon: ok, dex roll to hit, no prof bonus looks like.
Smon: Malenn:
Smon: /roll d20+2

Smon: The ooze burns brightly, curling and blackening.
chris107: Between us and the ooze?
Smon: (yes) Bjornalf takes 2 fire dmg as the ooze burns away around him.
Smon: It falls to the ground, still burning.
Kjato Ragfoot: 8/38
Smon: A quartz scroll tube rolls out from the burning mass.
chris107: H lights a torch and prepares to attack the thing when the flames between have died.
Smon: It seems to be dead...
chris107: Yeah!
Smon: It's not moving, still burning as B staggers out from the flames.
Smon: The tunnel is wide enough he can avoid the pool of burning oil & rejoin you.
Smon: OOC lightning would have been a BAD idea.
Smon: brb coffee
chris107: Oops
chris107: Gosh Kjato, we were lucky there.
Kjato Ragfoot: We were.
chris107: OOC - A 5e geletinious cube?
chris107: Hope there's something nice in the scroll tube
Kjato Ragfoot: Malenn can use the ancient short sword to replace her raprier for now.
Smon: (it's from the scenario)
Smon: Malenn takes the shortsword.
chris107: Lets go search where the horrid thing came from.
Smon: You can wipe the gloop off the scroll case and pop it open.
Smon: Inside is a dry scroll.
Kjato Ragfoot: Huh. Huh. What is it?
Smon: FIREBALL
Smon: (sister on phone, sorry, distracted)
chris107: Yeah!
Kjato Ragfoot: Muahahaha!
Kjato Ragfoot: Bjornalf needs healing. Urgently, he is hardly recognizable under all the blood.
Smon: (back)
chris107: Malenn only has a few healing points left.
Smon: Malenn heals you 1 point
chris107: But I'm sure she will be hbappy to help Bjo.
Kjato Ragfoot: 7/38
chris107: Shall we search the area where the gloop came from then rest so Bjo can use healing dice?
Smon: Malenn: "Tamara is a priestess, she might be able to heal you? They should be rested now. Or we can find somewhere to rest down here and bind your wounds."
Kjato Ragfoot: Let's search the room and try to return to Tamara.
chris107: okay.
Smon: You return to the cave of the gelatinous mass.
Smon: It seems very clean, scrubbed by the ooze.
Smon: Searching reveals nothing more.
Smon: /roll d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets: 66,
Smon: You hear a heavy tread behind you...
chris107: H spins ready with Demonslayer.

Smon: It's starting to nit back together.
chris107: He keeps slashing at it with Demonslayer until M can go around burning the bits.
Kjato Ragfoot: Should I roll Death Saves or is Bjornalf already done for?
Smon: Hakeem keeps hacking vigourously at it. Bjornalf won't die for an hour or so under my rules.
Smon: (only have to make death saves 1/r if taken to 0 b crit)
Smon: Malenn lights the torch and touches it to the troll. It seems quite flammable and the fat starts to burn brightly, a foul stench.
Smon: Malenn: "Seems fire is our friend today..."
chris107: H grins widely at her.
Smon: As the troll burns, she goes to check Bjornalf, propping him up. "He's alive."
Smon: She binds his wounds with rags.
Smon: "He may live... wish I hadn't wasted the last of my healing now."
chris107: Hakeem will carefully put his friend over his shoulder and carry him gently back towards the priestess above.
chris107: "We have to cross the maggots Malenn."
Smon: OOC death save after 1 hr, +2 bonus for Malenn's aid, if fail not good. Need to roll 10+ on d20+1
chris107: Keep the torch burning and keep them at bay if you can.
Smon: Malenn nods. "Tamara may be our best chance."
Smon: Hakeem carries B back towards the maggot tomb, Malenn following & looking a bit shaky.
Smon: At the entrance to the maggot cave you see they have spread out again, many feasting on the corpses of their fellows.
Smon: d20+2 I meant
Smon: Anyway...
chris107: Can we plot a route to avoid as many as possible?
chris107: Or at least go via the ones already feasting. Malenn waving the torch?

Smon: You climb the steps carrying Bjornalf.
Smon: At the top of the steps light still shines from the Elf cave to your left.
chris107: We pass quietly as we can
Smon: Heading north you approach the Roper cave off to your right. The sounds of heavy snoring from Osgar mingle with the sounds of heavy lovemaking from Tamara and Rey. "oh...! oh...! ...yes!"
Smon: Malenn rolls her eyes. "Figures."
chris107: H nods and coughs
chris107: "Ahem...."
chris107: "Our good friend Bjo is sadly injured, we need your help Tamara..."
Smon: H enters the cave carrying Bjornalf, Malenn behind. Os is propped up snoring by the wall, while Rey and a naked Tamara are cavorting on a bedroll. Rey buttons up, grinning, while Tamara blushes and gets to her feet.
Smon: Tamara: "I... of course, I can help..."
*Eliana shuffles through the doorway of the idle Zombie chamber.*
Smon: She ties on her/Malenn's loincloth and goes over to H.

Smon: ooc Chris can you play this evening?
Kjato Ragfoot: Troll?
chris107: H shows his chums the famous sword
Kjato Ragfoot: Oh. That is good.
chris107: I can't play later I'm afraid Simon. I have people staying for the weekend.
Kjato Ragfoot: Did I cast Fairy Fire? There are so many blinking lights around...
Kjato Ragfoot: I fear I will need some rest.
Smon: ok suggest we play long now if you guys are ok
chris107: Yeah I'm good for now. My friends are arriving around mid-afternoon.
Kjato Ragfoot: I could play a little longer as well.
Smon: Malenn: "Do we stay here so Bjornalf can recover, or leave the caves?"
chris107: H will spend his remaining healing dice if we get chance to rest?
chris107: "Lets rest here a while then make our way to safety to make plans for another forray into these cursed caves."
Smon: Rey: "More resting is good..." he winks at Tamara. "There's a nice private rest spot behind the Roper..."
Smon: Rey and Tamara withdraw with bedroll to a spot behind the dead Roper, from which the sounds of lovemaking soon echo forth again.

Smon: Rey buttons up again and comes out from behind the Roper. "Nice."
chris107: Hakeem ravishes Malenn in celebration
Smon: Hakeem kisses Malenn deeply.
Smon: I assume is what you mean.
Smon: Tamara looks with horror at the dead monster.
Smon: "This place is Hell..."
Kjato Ragfoot: No. Hell is worse.
Smon: Malenn: "We'll not survive another battle."
chris107: "Yes we should make our way out if we can."
Kjato Ragfoot: true
Smon: You pack up and head out, stepping over the dart trap just right of the Roper cave that Rey points out, and head north.
chris107: Hakeem will lead the way.
chris107: Is Demonslayer still glowing?
Smon: Ahead is the intersection, tunnel north to the outside and left into unknown caves.
Smon: Demonslayer is glowing dimly.
Smon: /roll d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets: 55,
chris107: North sticking to the same side of the pits we used coming in.
Smon: You see no monsters, but a ring is lying on the ground at the intersection.
chris107: A ring?
Smon: (you passed the skull fountain cavern on your right). Silver with black runes engraved on the surface.
chris107: "Bjo?"
Smon: Small yellow gems are embedded around the circumference.
Kjato Ragfoot: Is it magic?
Smon: The sword glows brighter as you approach the ring.
chris107: mmmmmm
Smon: B detects magic from it... it's a Pact Ring! A warlock item.
Kjato Ragfoot: Try smashing it with demonslayer.
Smon: B feels an urge to put on the ring.
chris107: "You want me to chop the ring up?"
Kjato Ragfoot: Yes.
Smon: Demonslayer speaks! "Ah, a Pact Ring of the Demon Selrahnedus, Prince of Flies..."
chris107: H chops the ring up with Demonslayer.
Smon: The voice sounds exactly like Clevenus.
chris107:
Smon: "You may use me to strike the ring."
chris107: "Erm...Thank you."
chris107: He does so
Smon: The great sword descends, striking the ring. There is a concussion, and the ring shatters.
Smon: The remains vanish in a puff of smoke.
Smon: "Don't mention it" says Demonslayer, smugly.
chris107: Hakeem is impressed.
Smon: "Now I suggest we leave..."
chris107: What a good idea.
Smon: Passing by side caves and edging around corpses and pits, at last you emerge into clean daylight.
Smon: /roll d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets: 66,
chris107: "Thank Bondar and Mitra!"
chris107: Or maybe not?
Smon: The sky is clear, with rain clouds on the eastern horizon.
Smon: That was a weather check.
chris107: Phew
Smon: Sorry to panic you!
Smon: LOL
chris107:
Smon: 6= clear & sunny, 1= thunderstorm
Kjato Ragfoot: Let's get to that town we were originally headed to.
Smon: You must have been in there a long time, it is late afternoon.
chris107: That's a good idea. We have a better idea of what we need to do now and can make more plans.
Smon: You are in wooded hills, the land sloping down northwards towards the sea a few miles away.
Smon: Taking a faint trail, you descend through the woods.
Smon: Not resting, press on towards Clear Meadows?
chris107: H moves slowly and painfully, weary from his berserking.
Smon: H's half speed is 2/3 speed of the others, ca 1.2 miles/hr in this terrain.
chris107: "Let's get to safety."
Smon: Tamara: "We should reach Clear Meadows in 2 hours, around nightfall."
Smon: /roll d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets: 44,
Smon: lucky
chris107: very
Smon: An hour and a half later you come out of the woods on the edge of fields, several outlying farms scattered around, and the village ahead in the distance.
Smon: Nervous looking peasants are finishing their hoeing & planting for the day.
Kjato Ragfoot: Bjornalf will wave them friendly "Better hurry, there are horrible cultists around who want to steal your women!"
chris107: mmmmm does Kathalax draw any strange attention or has it stopped glowing?
Smon: A middle-aged farmer sees you approach, turns to a red-haired girl of 19 nearby. "You go on inside Tammy, join your mother."
Smon: Tammy heads for the nearby farmhouse, which looks well fortified.
Smon: The farmer looks curiously at Sister Tamara as she approaches.
Smon: He eyes you all up, gripping his hoe.
Smon: Kalthalax is no longer glowing.
Smon: Tamara nods to him. "Evening, Barin." Barin: "Evening, sister Tamara. You're looking well. Something happen to your dress?"
Kjato Ragfoot: Ah. Calm down fellow. We are here on behalf of Ahyf and the Lord's Alliance to protect you against those cultists.
Smon: Tamara blushes, puts hands over her breasts. "Hakeem, could I borrow your cloak now?"
Smon: /roll d20+7
Smon rolls 1d20+7 and gets: 1717, (+7) = 24
chris107: sure
Smon: The farmer nods. "Ah, I see." Tamara nods thanks and wraps the cloak about her.
Smon: Barin: "You were quick getting help then, sister."
Smon: Tamara: "Yes.... we must be on."
Smon: You reach a track and are soon at the gate to Clear Meadows, two soldiers in the red livery of Ahyf stand guard.
chris107: "Is there an inn close by soldier?"
Smon: Tamara approaches them: "I was attacked on the road... Call your Captain to the Temple. These men are here to help us." Malenn coughs "...and this woman."
Smon: Soldier: "Aye..." Tamara: "You'd be welcome at the Temple, Rey... Everyone."
Smon: Her manner seems a bit odd, tense - more than just the obvious lust for Rey.
chris107: Odd
Kjato Ragfoot: Hmm.
Kjato Ragfoot: Let's go to the temple for now.
chris107: "Are you troubled Lady Tamara?"
chris107: "We will all feel better for a good rest. Then we can plan an attack on the fould cult."
Smon: You walk down the street towards a large square high-walled temple, the Temple of St Irrig.
Smon: Tamara: "There has been much trouble. I feel... strange..." there is perspiration on her brow again.
Smon: You reach the Temple and enter the open doors.
Smon: A very pretty girl in white novice robes comes to meet you. "Sister Tamara!"
chris107: "Malenn do you detect any poison or disease in Tamara?"
Kjato Ragfoot: Well, that is not that unusual for women that meet Rey for the first time...
Smon: Tamara: "Amari, fetch your father and Father Ulfic. These heroes are from Ahyf to help us."
chris107: hehe
Smon:
12:25pm 2015-5-15 boredom3031 Has entered the room
Smon: The pretty girl shows muted signs of half-elf ancestry.
boredom3031: slept way too damn late.
Smon: Hi boredom, you're very late!
Smon: Been playing 4 hrs!
boredom3031: Yeah stayed up too late talking with OO.
Smon: We can intro you now, then I need to quit at 2pm.
chris107: Hey Zach! You missed all the fun
boredom3031:
Smon: You ok to start w Eardvulf now?
Smon: A little earlier that day...
boredom3031: Yep.
Oculus Orbus: Hey, there
boredom3031: Heya OO.
Smon: Eardvulf stands atop a heap of Cultist corpses - the wretches fought poorly,but he was still lucky to emerge unscathed - while the beautiful blonde noblewoman grips his mighty thew for support -https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/2b/13/75/2b13755ddaf6b5a4c2a00e7f1e3de100.jpg
Smon: https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/2b/13/75/2b13755ddaf6b5a4c2a00e7f1e3de100.jpg
Smon: She gets unsteady to her feet. "I... I thank you for rescuing me, Altanian. I am the Lady Anna Bronze of Hara. My brother will reward you well..." She is wearing expensive silver jewelry, and not a lot else.
boredom3031: *Eard looks down at the corpses then at the woman.* "You could reward me also." He says with a wink.
Smon: "C-could you escort me, there is a town a little ways back down the road... oh."
Smon: /roll d20+4
Smon rolls 1d20+4 and gets: 11, (+4) = 5
Smon: lol
Smon: She stiffens up.
Smon: "I am a noble lady of Nerath. Please keep any uncouth thoughts to yourself."
boredom3031: lol
Smon: Wow, you don't have Rey's luck!
boredom3031:
boredom3031: The barbarian smirks and nods to the woman, doing as she asks.
Smon: "I... I can reward you when we reach Hara. My coach was destroyed..."
boredom3031: "Unfortunate" The barbarian replies making his way down the road.
Smon: GM: Dusk is falling as Eardvulf and the Lady Anna reach town. Ahead in the main square they see a small party entering the Temple - including an Altanian Barbarian, rare in these parts.
Smon: Anna: "That is the Temple of Irig, where I lit a sacred candle this morning. I should tell them there are raiders on the road..."
boredom3031: "Not a bad idea." Eard replies to Anna.
Smon: Inside the temple, Tamara and the others are waiting for the other priests, when in come a muscular Altanian warrior and a beautiul blonde in skimpy clothing & much silver jewelry.
chris107: Does Hakeem recognize his clan?
Smon: Eard & Hakeem recognise each other from a Clan Moot a few years ago when Sea Wolf and Grey Wolf allied to raid the Gnolls of Nera.
chris107: Hakeem greets him in a friendly manner.
boredom3031:
boredom3031: *Eard greets Hakeem back in the same way, also with a smile.*
Smon: The Grey Wolf dominate the southern Midnight Goddess Hills, their kindred Sea Wolf live to the east, in the forests east of Vigil Sound.
Smon: Anna: "Sister Tamara! I was attacked on the road..." Tamara: "I, also."
Kjato Ragfoot: (What a coincidence!)
chris107: "Perhaps you'd like to join us cousin? We have caves to loot close by."
boredom3031: lol *Eard hears another woman, finding himself compelled to see if the woman is attractive or not but not walking anywhere.* "Loot? Alright lets not waste any time."
Smon: The novice Amari returns with two men in the golden robes of senior Priests of Mitra. The older is grey-bearded and kindly looking, the other middle aged, balding, with a sharp look.
Smon: Tamara is buxom & good-looking, her semi-nude form currently draped in a wolf pelt cloak. The novice Amari is very beautiful, dark haired slender half-elf.
Smon: naked Tamara - https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiITNa-3p055nJoxDUT9E-p-i-rUmL7t9533uqe680tTsyDm7OjHrd-ZZhkIp8KflI-ZIWHXVJVf1eRaFe969IduyT5O_LVFQEELkDRm1D0CtBoc1WKeBXCVYeG2GoRCLJh1pSeiAwj2g0/s200/Tamara.jpg
chris107: We tell the priests what we have found out about the cult.
Smon: Amara (currently in white novice dress) https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaTa5Y6Gi_6dv62C2H6WCXHmfXkhuynlsEXPuzFbST_8C7WktH8vpa09eexhOzB9iYIXa6XQfe_vZIbimKH_gmbEC_AWu3CdDsA-MBpbMGlQiFGdBw66Wq1dRvFshaGsTtR8bDkQj3-Xw/s200/Amara.jpg
Smon: for Boredom
boredom3031: lol
boredom3031: morning re-wood.
Smon: Tamara: "Father Synjyn, Father Ulfic! I was attacked on the road... these heroes rescued me. They have come from Ahyf to save us!"
Smon: Ulfic, the younger man, looks you over. "Well, I hope they're more use than Captain Jeremiah and his men! The fool's not caught one raider, and we've lost six women in two weeks!"
Smon: "Not counting travellers..."
chris107: "Sad news indeed. It seems the women my be destined for a foul end indeed."
Smon: Synjyn, the older man: "Welcome, friends. Father Ulfic, I'm sure Jeremiah is doing his best."
chris107: He describes the demon stuff they were told.
boredom3031: "Hello" Eard says to Synjyn.
Smon: The priests escort you in to a dining room. Amari - Synjyn's novice daughter - brings you wine and bread while you tell the priests what you know.
Smon: Lady Anna: "Well, I shall take a room at the inn. I am in need of escorts to Hara, if any of you would wish to accompany me..."
boredom3031: *Eardvulf winks and smiles to Amari. Then looks to the wine first.*
Smon: Ulfic: "The roads are too dangerous, milady. You should stay in town until the raiders are dealt with."
Smon: /roll d20+4
Smon rolls 1d20+4 and gets: 1515, (+4) = 19
Smon: Amari smiles back at Eardvulf. She seems shy, but impressed.
boredom3031: *Eard takes a glass of the wine, sipping it idly. Smirking to himself as he sees Amari's reaction.*
Smon: Synjyn: "Jeremiah has been out hunting the woods again. I expect he'll be back later."
Smon: Tamara: "For rescuing me, can I give these heroes some money from our funds Father?"
Smon: Ulfic: "Surely they are merely doing as Ahyf has paid them to do?"
Smon: Anna departs for the Inn.
boredom3031: "A show of appreciation would be nice however." Eard says with a smirk.
Kjato Ragfoot: We are here on behalf of the Lord's Alliance to support Ahyf in this time of trouble.
chris107: "We are no common mercenaries."
12:52pm 2015-5-15 atherton Has entered the room
Smon: Synjyn nods. "The alliance. Noble Lords of Ghinaria, united against evil. I have heard of it."
Kjato Ragfoot: Thus, no reward is necessary. We would be glad if you could support us with supplies though.
chris107: wb athers
boredom3031: Heya ather.
atherton: still going!
chris107: yeah good long game today
Smon: @ath finishing at 2pm. You escaped the caves and are at the temple in clear meadows. Os slept through the adventure.
atherton: ok keep going
boredom3031: *Eardvulf gestures Kjato to be quiet in a sort of humorous way.*
atherton: sounds like something Os would do
Smon: OOC No one suggested rewarding Eardvulf, except Lady Anna if she got him to Hara.
boredom3031: (Yeah, he's trying to keep his own reward safe. :p)
Smon: Ulfic: "Well, let us pay for you all to stay at the Inn. It is the least we can do. They have hot and cold running wenches, I hear..." he smiles.
chris107: Free beer!
boredom3031: Free beer + Women=Happy me and Eardvulf.
Smon: Tamara: "Lord Reynard should stay here, at the Temple. It is much more comfortable..."
Smon: Ulfic snorts.
chris107: "Of course..."
Smon: Fr Synjyn smiles. "Ah... as you wish, Tamara."
Kjato Ragfoot: Oh. That is true. As our glorious leader, he needs rest and calm to plan our expedition.
chris107: Hakeem snorts
Smon: Synjyn: "Amari, could you escort the others to the Inn, and tell the Innkeeper we will be paying for their stay."
Kjato Ragfoot: Bjornalf makes and extremely straight face.
chris107: "Come Malenn we need to get our rest and calm..."
Smon: Amari bows. "Milords, lady, please come with me..."
Smon: OOC ok I'll stop there for now. Who can play tonight?
chris107: Happily, it's been a long day.
boredom3031: I can smon.
Kjato Ragfoot: Gladly.
chris107: Alas not me.
