chris107: Hi Graham
Amalric: KILL THEM ALL!!!!
Amalric: oh
Amalric: did I say that out loud?
Smon: Hi G
Amalric: good evening Chris
Smon: Will be couple mins
Amalric: Simon
Smon: dinner w boy slightly late
chris107: We're both just getting tea...
Amalric: no probs
Amalric: i've eaten, take your time
chris107: How did you enjoy TRAVELLER Graham?
Amalric: it was very interesting, Chris
Smon: eating & talking w boy
Amalric: I suspected we were in some sort of alternate reality, but just went with the flow
chris107: Good. Very odd but hopefully all prepared to blast off next week
Amalric: be interesting to see where we go next week
chris107: Right. Tucking into food now. Mac open beside me so ready to start when ever.
Smon: I am a bad dm, I prioritised my son's homework over getting ready for game...
chris107: hehe
Smon: & came down w bad cold yesterday so everything takes longer
chris107:
Smon: OK dinner done, got boy on the Medieval Total War (2002)
Smon:
Smon: I told him he had to play it or ~read a book~ (eek!) - no TV cartoons!
Smon: Posted map of the dungeon you were in - http://smons.blogspot.co.uk/2015/09/ruins-of-gorgon-map-forested-hills-on.html
Smon: I had the hardcopy from Dyson's Delve, good stuff.
chris107: ah yes. Saw that.
Amalric: I remember playing all the tutorials on MTW, but never actually played the game
Smon: GM: end of last session >>Smon: Ruggio nods. "A slaver called Roth has seen her, at Yusan's Den. He is at the Inn here in Bratanis if you wish to question him." Amalric: "And she shows us where they are - they help us, we help them." Amalric: "That would be most interesting." Kjato Ragfoot: The soap passes from hand to hand, as we Skandiks say. Smon: OOC Will finish up now. chris107: Kjato Ragfoot: My lord, if you agree, I would like to speak to that merchant? chris107: Nice session guys! Thanks Simon Smon: OOC Fun game guys, well done vs shadows. Should be a big XP session! Kjato Ragfoot: All right. Was a good game, all in all. Smon: Ruggio nods to Bjornalf - "Certainly." Smon: Will post log. Amalric: "We both should, Vizier"<<
Smon: Foraging - Hakeem & the girls are looking for food and a camp, Hakeem can make a Survival check.
chris107: If there's anything you can do with Graham, feel free. I'm having seconds
Smon: d20+4 for Hakeem
chris107 rolls 1d20+2 and gets: 9, (+2) = 11
chris107: oops add 2
Smon: 13 is a pass, Hakeem fells a wild goat with his greatsword & can get a fire going.
chris107: yay!
Smon: Meanwhile back in Bratanis, Bjornalf is speaking intently with Ruggio, and also asks to speak with ex-Lady Aeschela.
Amalric: Rey will go with him
Smon: Does Rey want to speak with the slaver Rolth who saw the captured wizardess with Yusan, or do something else?
Smon: Bjornalf from the thread: >>Bjornalf will try to negotiate. Ruggio he will tell that he will soon have to fight side by side with Hakeem and Lord Vex on the battlefield, probably do not wishing a sour mood turning the allies against each other in the heat of battle. Also, he will rule on strength alone, making it easy for another conqueror with even slightly closer relation to the Vexes to gain loyality from the locals. It would be a wise move to find a way to strengthen his right to rule beyond being simply a conqueror, gaining support for his rule from a legitimate claimant. Aschae he will tell that her situation is hopeless: She has to do whatever Ruggio wants, when he wants it, how he wants it. Getting into a better relation with him would greatly improve her personal conditions (and be it only feigning a migraine). Furthermore, she failed Yusan: She was not able to keep her promises due to a lack of strength. She just needs to look at the former amazon queen to see what Yusan does to people that rejected him. She did not only reject him, she broke his word on him, as she allowed somebody else to take what she promised Yusan. Not only will she suffer, but her subjects as well. Her only hope is with the Lord's Alliance now, as that is the only thing that might prevent Yusan from alloting his wrath.<<
chris107: Hakeem thinks poor Yusan much maligned.
Smon: I'll do CHA checks for Bjornalf. 1 vs Ruggio:
chris107: He would be a fine ally to despatch Oriax (who's tower and magical mirror he coverts...)
Smon: /roll d20+7
Smon rolls 1d20+7 and gets: 11, (+7) = 18
Smon: Ruggio nods agreeably to Bjornalf, and lets him speak with Aeschela in Ruggio's private chamber.
Smon: Bjornalf roll vs Aeschela:
Amalric: can't realy argue with how things have turned out in Bratanis, Aeschela was a turncoat
Smon: /roll d20+7
Smon rolls 1d20+7 and gets: 12, (+7) = 19
Smon: After some hours, Bjornalf has persuaded Ruggio he should marry Aeschela to gain legitimacy (ie not just a concubine), and Aeschela has agreed to go along with it.
chris107: Yay!
Smon: Thus ending the insult to Lord Vex of Selatine of holding his cousin in bondage.
Smon: Ruggio won't be allowing Hakeem back in Bratanis, however!
chris107: And staying Hakeem from removing his head at some stage...
chris107: As we Barbarians say... BOVVERED?!
Amalric: heh
Smon: Lord Reynard's slaves are being stabled in the stable; Ruggio offers Bjornalf & Rey separate private quarters, and to have any of the girls sent over Rey wishes.
Smon: /roll 1d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets: 6,
Amalric: "Send them all. Much more comfortable that way."
Smon: Hakeem is lucky, despite it being the tail end of the wet season it's a clear starry night a few miles west of Bratanis along the Pilgrims' Trail, as Hakeem Malenn and Jana enjoy a meal of roast goat.
chris107:
Smon: Ruggio nods to Rey: "Your appetites are renowned, Lord Reynard - I shall send them all!"
Smon: GM: Rey do you plan to catch up with Hakeem next morning?
chris107: If he has the energy?
Amalric: yes, yes I/we do
Amalric: the girls can carry Rey's snoring form if need be
chris107: haha
Smon: GM: Rey is escorted to a lavishly appointed chamber he recognises from his previous stay in Bratanis, and an escort of concubines led by Alicia & Lucy are sent in to join him. Lucy looks around at the silk and gauze: "Much better than that stable...!"
Smon: Alicia: "They were keeping us next to some slave girls being taken north, from Oriax's tower to Ahyf I think."
Amalric: "Oh? How many? Were these Roth's caravan?"
chris107: OOC - Slavery, or at least the cover of, could be a way of us getting inside Oriax's tower..
Smon: GM: Bjornalf has gone off to the Bratanis Inn to talk with the slaver Roth. Alicia nods to Rey. "Yes, I heard a guard say that name."
Smon: GM: Rey disports himself until morning, while Hakeem spends a pleasant night with Malenn under the stars; Jana keeping to her own devices on the other side of the fire.
Smon: 7/2/4446: Rather late next morning Rey rouses himself; he Bjornalf and the girls breakfast and bid Bratanis farewell.
Smon: West of town in a wooded valley, Jana and Malenn are gathering nuts & berries as befits the womenfolk (this is the same valley where your old PCs fought undead gaunt hounds BTW).
chris107: Gosh how time flies.
Smon: Hakeem has just finished wrapping the leftover goat meat for travel when...
Smon: Graham you there?
chris107: (OOC, would be interesting to see how Rey, Bjorn and Hakeem would translate as 1e characters...)
Smon: Thief & Barbarian easy enough, not sure how you'd do a Warlock.
chris107: true
Smon: The White Dwarf demonist class is conceptually closest but focused on summoning, which 5e lacks.
chris107: Would be interesting once Hakeem is 24 strength and constitution!
chris107: I remember the Demonologist
Smon: The White Dwarf barbarian is closer to Hakeem than the Unearthed Arcana version I reckon.
chris107: Yeah deffo
Smon: "Crypts & Things" ripped it off - paid homage to it - for the modern gamer
chris107: Love the WD Barbarian. Though I think D8 rather than D6 Hit Dice would be better.
Smon: Yeah, d6 is for OD&D
chris107: Ah.
Amalric: I also remember the Demonologist
chris107: Yeah I guess it is a long time ago.
Smon: I think it came out before the 1e PHB
Amalric: only problem with that, don't like Demons
chris107: It was sure about that time.
Amalric: and agreed on the d8 for the barbarian, or maybe d10
Smon: GM: Hakeem sees Malenn approaching the camp with a sack full of foraged tubers & nuts, when a sudden scream echoes through the trees - Jana!
Smon: Malenn turns, dropping the sack and drawing her bronze shortsword.
chris107: Quicker than the eye can see, his magical long sword is in his hand
Smon: /roll d20
Smon rolls 1d20 and gets: 18,
chris107: He sprints towrds her
Amalric: will Rey & co happen along about now?
Smon: Racing through the trees, Malenn behind him, Hakeem sees Jana struggling in the grip of two burly Altanian warriors, two more beside them.
chris107: "Release her DAWGS! Or DIE!"
Smon: GM: Following the trail west out of Bratanis, it's mid-morning when Rey's keen hearing picks up a faint scream on the air...
Smon: The largest of the Altanians, a massively scarred fellow, has just been tearing off Jana's white & gold robe. He turns at Hakeem's approach, laughing as he sees it's only two.
Smon: "She belongs to Yusan now, dog!" He hefts his great axe.
chris107: This makes H very cross
chris107: He will (as I assume he hasn't found a shield yet?) swing his new blade 2 handed.
chris107: "BONDORR!"
Smon: (There were dead hobgoblins with shields outside the Ruins of the Gorgon, let's say you took one)
chris107: yay!
chris107: 1H with shield then
Smon: Rey hears Hakeem's yell, some distance off.
Smon: One of Yusan's men keeps hold of Jana, while the other three close on Hakeem & Malenn.

Amalric: without sticking her with his blades
chris107: A gentleman to the last....
Smon: (very gentlemanly)
Amalric: Rey will set her down gently and give chase

Smon: Malenn: "Hakeem, you're wounded - let me heal you."
Amalric: "You're welcome, my dear! All in the line of business..."

Amalric: "Let them take tales back to Yusan, I say."
Amalric: "Words of our deeds will surely give him pause for thought."
chris107: "Haha brother Rey! A heavy night of fencing was it?"
Smon: Malenn looks after the way they fled. "I have no desire to face a great host of them right now... But they may return, in greater numbers."
Smon: Jana: "Let us press on, for the Temple-Tomb of Belaras. I know this path."
chris107: "Aye lass. Let's get you and our child to safety."
chris107: Any treasure on them by the way Simon?
Oculus Orbus: the Pope is in America
Oculus Orbus: they say he loves dat barbeque
chris107: Gods vicar on Earth Pope?
Smon: GM: The two dead raiders seem to have a fair amount of gold on them...
Oculus Orbus: but it messes up his frock something fierce
Smon: /roll 8d6
Smon rolls 8d6 and gets: 1, 5, 2, 5, 5, 6, 2, 5, = 31
Smon: 31gp on the big guy
Smon: /roll 3d6
chris107: We'll grab a bit of that.
Smon rolls 3d6 and gets: 2, 5, 3, = 10
Oculus Orbus: Chris: I don't know, I'm an atheist
Smon: 10gp on the lackey.
chris107: Nice
Smon: GM: Bjornalf comes up with Rey's extensive harem, and you continue west.
Smon: The weather remains unseasonally dry, Mitra blessing you as you walk the Pilgrims' Trail.
Smon: West from Bratanis, the old Pilgrims' Trail leads 12 miles through the hills to the ancient Sky God Idol atop a hill, said to be a winged depiction of Zeus. Hundreds of feet high, the weathered, winged idol can be seen looming against the skyline.
Smon: It is currently early afternoon as you behold the vast weathered form, the wings spread wide, the face long obscured by age and decay.
chris107: "Malenn, is this where you choose to stay? or would you prefer to go to see Lady Media?"
Smon: Jana looks west, shielding her eyes against the afternoon sun. "24 miles from here to the Temple."
chris107: ah, sorry
Smon: Malenn: "We'll not make the Temple tonight - not with Rey's harem."
Amalric: "Better get a move on then. Wait, what?"
Amalric: "These ladies dont wear much, they should be pretty quick."
Amalric: "Although I can understand the reasoning, let them save their energies for the night..."
chris107: Let's rest near this great statue to Zeus? Surely no evil will dare come close here?
Smon: Malenn smiles. "Don't worry Rey, we'll not abandon them... but it's not their clothes I'm worried about..." She indicates the two Striker girls, sitting on a grassy boulder inspecting their blistered feet.
Amalric: "Oh dear! That is unfortunate! We shall look at that once we get this DM fiat/railroad out of the way..."
Amalric:
Smon: Jana shakes her head. "No Hakeem - the sanctity of this place has been defiled. Goblins now infest the subterranean halls at the foot of the idol."
Smon: OOC feel free to go somewhere else
Amalric: LOL not at all
chris107: "Your wisdom saves us again Lady Vex."
Smon: OOC This all started because I rolled Oriax on the random encounter table as you were heading for Dyson's Delve, not much railroading really.
chris107: Push on at a slower pace for the lay-dee. But as far as we may.
Smon: Malenn: "We should get as far as we can, then find a safe camp - no fire tonight lest Yusan's men follow us."
chris107: Oriax grrrr
Amalric: its all good in my book, it was just a joke
Amalric: although making joke at the DM's expense is never a good idea
Smon: GM: Leaving the Sky God Idol behind, you press on along the Pilgrim's Trail.
Smon: (If I were running an Adventure Path I'd be happy w the Railroad jokes, not so much when doing a sandbox!)
Smon: (I do run an AP & I still try to make it as open as possible, mind you)
Smon: brb
chris107: Hakeem chat's happily to malign about their child to be.
chris107: malign
Smon:
Amalric: LOL sign of things to come?
Amalric: naming the child Damien, are we?
chris107: apple spell check at its best there.
chris107: hehe
Smon: GM: The miles of rocky road wind through the Arcadian expanses of the high Ghinarian hills.
Smon: Here and there wild goats skitter from your path. Once you see a herd of great mastodon, grazing on a hill slope a long ways off
chris107: hakeem is amazed at the sight of the great beasts
Smon: Jana: "The great trunk-beasts are rarely seen these days..." Alicia giggles to herself. As evening falls and the sun is setting behind the western mountains, you find a sheltered hollow to camp.
Oculus Orbus: great breasts?
chris107: thanks orcs
Smon: Alicia: "I know one great trunk beast often seen..."
Smon: /roll d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets: 6,
Smon: Amazingly, a second rainless night in a row!
Amalric: "Well thank you my dear, very nice of you to put it that way..."
chris107: H will do his survival stuff to check if it's safe. Then a dinner of cold goat salad.
Oculus Orbus: halal!
Oculus Orbus: halal is goat meat
Oculus Orbus: just sayin
Smon: The familiar southern stars glitter overhead, dominated by the great constellation of Umanah.
chris107: H is half expecting Yussan's boys this evening. So he will set snares and other hindrances
Smon: Alinah the Moon Goddess shines down on you, almost full tonight.
chris107: stuff that will alert the camp to clodhopping Barbarians
Smon: And there is the constellation of Pasperus, Lord of the Southern Stars, rarely seen in the Wet Season.
chris107: Alinah? Wasn't that Moffet's favourite?
Smon: (sounds likely)
Amalric: nice romantic evening
chris107: Romantic rey?!
Smon: Rey snuggles with his harem while Hakeem sets traps and snares, scouting the locality.
Smon: /roll d20+4
Smon rolls 1d20+4 and gets: 17, (+4) = 21
Smon: Hakeem is eventually confident the position is secure; the only easy approach by an overlooked defile.
Smon: /roll d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets: 3,
Smon: Your night passes peacefully and next morning you travel onwards, the harem girls foot sore and weary from their exertions...
chris107: "malenn, would a little of your healing help the girls feet?"
Amalric: "Yes, if you could spare some, I would greatly appreciate it."
Smon: Malenn nods, and tends to the girls (1 hp per foot) to much grateful thanks.
chris107:
Smon: (You have all got back 2 rests worth of healing dice now, so Hakeem 8/8, Rey 6/7).
chris107: If we need to make a run for the temple we may just be glad of those 4HP.
Smon: 15 miles through the hills, a good day's march, and that afternoon you see the shining Temple-Tomb of Belaras atop its mount, the pilgrim tents scattered on the lower slopes.
Smon: /roll d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets: 5,
Smon: /roll d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets: 3,
Smon: It has rained here overnight, and you can see fresh Hyena tracks on the trail, but nothing attacks you as you make your way up towards the Temple.
Smon: Jana: "Here we will find rest, and sanctuary..." she seems happy.
Smon: Malenn looks a little uncertain. "Jana - Hakeem and I will be heading on from here, to Thusia."
chris107: Now H asks Malenn if this, rather than Lady Media is where she would choose to stay?
chris107: Thusia!
chris107: Hakeem is glad.
Smon: Malenn: "I have been considering it, Hakeem... I think Thusia is the best place."
Smon: brb
Oculus Orbus: time for a nap
Oculus Orbus: have the fun
8:18pm 2015-9-25 Oculus Orbus Has exited the room
Smon: OOC bit early but might be best to stop here.
Smon: Are you guys free Thursday next week?
chris107: Thursday next week should be okay with me
chris107: 1st October?
Smon: We'll see what Kjato's schedule is but pencil in Thursday.
chris107:
chris107: Glad Malenn wants to go to lady Media. She seemed to know something about the child.]
Smon: Hopefully cold will be better then. Bill is reading me type BTW.
Smon: I'll post log.
chris107: Cheers Simon. Thanks for the game.
chris107: G'night Bill
Amalric: cheers
Amalric: good for Thurs
