Smon: Hi guys
chris107: Hi Simon
Kjato Ragfoot: Hello Smon
Smon: I just posted a reminder to the thread for Graham.
7:01pm 2015-11-22 Kjato Ragfoot Has exited the room
Smon: If he can't make it I guess Rey shall be preoccupied with his new toys from last session...
chris107: hehe
Smon: Twirling his baton, as it were.
Smon: Putting her through her paces.
Smon: Perhaps carving his initial R into blousons like Zorro, or into tree trunks since it's +1.
chris107: Oh yeah, magical rapier!
Smon: Why, what did you think I was referring to?!
chris107: I dread to think
7:06pm 2015-11-22 Kjato Ragfoot Has entered the room
Kjato Ragfoot: Anyone here?
Smon: Hi Kjato
Smon: You got bumped?
chris107: yup
Kjato Ragfoot: Yes.
Kjato Ragfoot: All right. Everything should be working again.
Smon: I'll start in a couple minutes, just brewing some tea & seeing if Graham shows up.
Smon: I expect he forgot.
Kjato Ragfoot: God.
Kjato Ragfoot: Good.
chris107: I'll grab a coffee then 2 mins
chris107: back
Smon: GM: By the time Hakeem & Rey finish looting Agollos and return to the Inn, a small crowd has joined Laara, Amdor and Alicia in watching events. Amdor appears to have been gambling with the dwarf Mitra-priestess on whether Agollos would escape, and the mighty wizard is now happily collecting his winnings.
chris107: Any sign of written orders etc. on the bodies?
chris107: Any thin Nerathilike?
Smon: Thuruar and the two Athenian temple guards had emerged from the Inn in time to watch the end of the battle; Rey & Hakeem chasing the two strangers down the road and killing them.
Kjato Ragfoot: Thuruar shakes his head and mumbles something about Kaag not the only Altanian needing wisdom.
Smon: Searching Agollos' body, Hakeem finds a telltale Black Sun amulet on a silver chain. It is glimmering redly.
chris107: take their horses too
chris107: H holds this aloft
chris107: to demonstrate the fellows guilt.
Smon: Thuruar watches as Rey and Hakeem go chasing off after the skittish horses...
chris107: He then tramples it underfoot.
Smon: Hakeem raising something aloft and then stamping on it.
Kjato Ragfoot: Thuruar will get there and look what the hell those two are up to.
Smon: Thuruar hears a yelp from behind him and turns to see a dishevelled priestess Sora being manhandled out of the Inn by the burly innkeeper, half-ogre by the look of him, and several inn-guards or 'bouncers'
Kjato Ragfoot: Sora was the priestess guiding us?
Smon: Yes. Her guards glare, hands on sword hilts. The Innkeep yells to Thuruar, Sora and everyone else. "NO KILLIN' GUESTS! You can't keep your men under control, you ain't drinkin' in 'ere."
Smon: Thuruar is currently halfway out the courtyard.
Smon: Sora: "Unhand me!" She shakes herself free and shouts to her men: "Get the horses! We're going!"
Smon: The Innkeep turns to Amdor, Alicia, Laara - "You lot too! Git!"
chris107:
Kjato Ragfoot: Hakeem, Rey, what was that about?
Smon: By the time Hakeem & Rey have secured the two horses, the rest of their party has been expelled from the Inn (with horses) and the gate shut behind them.
chris107: "He was an agent of the Black Sun!2
Smon: Sora glares angrily at Rey and Hakeem. "You can't just go around killing people!"
Kjato Ragfoot: I fully agree with Sora.
chris107: "Ermmmm why not?"
Kjato Ragfoot: Being members of the Black Sun or no, we cannot go around attacking people except in self-defence.
Kjato Ragfoot: Because it make us look like the evil guys.
Smon: Sora: "Southerners! I despair!"
chris107: "He was a Nerathi agent. He would have given us away."
Kjato Ragfoot: And the Black Sun look like the good guys.
chris107: "Bah, tell us that when your family are raised as zombies!" H sulks
Smon: Sora: "If a patrol comes this way they'll be set to hunt us down! I should leave you and return to the Temple..."
chris107: H shrugs
Kjato Ragfoot: See, that is the problem.
Kjato Ragfoot: If you now tell people they raise their families as zombies and they tell it will be done only if your family is found guilty of a horrible crime, they will believe the Black Sun.
chris107: "Then we kill the Nerathi patrols."
Kjato Ragfoot: There are no Nerathi patrols here.
chris107:
Smon: Sora nods: "It'll be a Zothay patrol, you idiot!"
Smon: She tries to calm down, face red. "I've never been so... Athena give me strength!"
Kjato Ragfoot: Do not attack.
Kjato Ragfoot: We are not in an area of war here, but in an area of peace.
chris107: "Bah. Let's go finish this war then."
Kjato Ragfoot: Defend yourself if attacked, but do not go around and kill people.
chris107:
Kjato Ragfoot: We cannot win this war if you continue attacking people outside your tribal homelands.
Kjato Ragfoot: Also, remember, death does not stop the Black Sun. His superiors will have learnt as much from their agents death as from his message.
chris107: Then let us be off to Gate Castle and lay it in ruins.
Kjato Ragfoot: Thuruar will destroy the Black Sun amulet with Sacred Fire if he has the chance before leaving.
Smon: Sora: "I guess... I'll take you to Bellystone. Then we'll see."
Smon: Thuruar melts the Black Sun amulet with divine radiance.
chris107: yay
Smon: GM: You mount up and ride on, the noonday sun high overhead.
Smon: Beyond the Murmuring Stream you have left behind the bleak expanse of the Arthiop Mud Flats on your west; now the road parrallels the mighty River Mageven as you ride north-west.
Smon: To the right stretches the redlands of the Altani Plain, dotted here and there with herds of wild horses.

Smon: /roll d100
Smon rolls 1d100 and gets: 42,
Kjato Ragfoot: Most likely, the gods have cursed us for the lack of hospitality Hakeem has shown at the Inn, and will interfere with our journey.
Smon: For a moment the sun seems to shimmer, the light strange, almost - black? "ROAARRR!!"
chris107: "Something for you guys to peace to death?"
Smon: Out of the Sun descend two flying black forms, huge, bestial, three-headed - Chimerae!
Smon: /roll d20
Smon rolls 1d20 and gets: 3,

Kjato Ragfoot: No, but the gods will send endless fights for those who fight needlessly.
chris107: Spread out!
Smon: Luckily they didn't achieve Surprise - you have time to draw steel as they descend on your band of riders. The priestess Amber screams in terror. Alicia groans: "Not again!"
Smon: Sora glances at Thuruar as she draws her shortsword: "The gods have cursed us, indeed!"
chris107: Hakeem belows a challange and will rage when they are close enough to engage.
Smon: OOC Did Hakeem take damage in the Inn fight?
Kjato Ragfoot: Thuruar will prepare shield and shortsword to protect himself.
chris107: Mmmmmmm Do you have a note of H's HP please Simon. I still have him on full here.

Smon: You might want to keep Laara alive, yup.
chris107: My notes are in a mess
Smon: Hakeem moves in front of Laara & her steed, sword readied. The others are scattering as instructed.
Smon: Amdor: "Hmm, what Cogitative Perambulation of High Sorcery would be most Efficacious here..." he strokes his beard. "Or do you have this in hand, friend Hakeem?"
chris107: garn! too much thinking. H's head aches all ready.

chris107: Nice spell
Smon: The Chimera had 2 hp left and crashes dead to the ground.
chris107: "YYYEEESSSSS!"
Smon: Sora smiles, breathing heavily. "By Blessed Athena, we Prevail!"
chris107: H falls flat on his back laughing a lot.
Kjato Ragfoot: That was tough.
Smon: She looks over at the smoking corpse of Amber & her steed. "Sadly, Mitra did not protect her."
chris107: Poor Amber
Kjato Ragfoot: He decided she suffered enough in this world and took her to a better place.
Smon: Sora dismounts and approaches Hakeem. "You are wounded... let me help you."
chris107: (Very soon Kjato you would be able to raise her)
chris107: "Thank you Sora."
Kjato Ragfoot: I will heal the wounded guard and the wounded horse of the other guard.
Smon: Couple 1st level spell slots should do it Thuruar.
Smon: -11 & -12
Smon: Does Hakeem let Sora Lay Hands on him?
chris107: yes
Kjato Ragfoot: OK.
Smon: Sora prays to Athena.
Kjato Ragfoot rolls 1d8+5 and gets: 7, (+5) = 12
Smon: Guard at 17/17
Smon: /roll 2d8+6
Kjato Ragfoot rolls 1d8+5 and gets: 8, (+5) = 13
Kjato Ragfoot: Both fully healed.
chris107: nice rolls Kjato
Kjato Ragfoot: Well, it would have been better on Hakeem.
Smon: /roll 2d8+6
Smon rolls 2d8+6 and gets: 6, 8, (+6) = 20
Smon: Sora uses 2 slots on Hakeem, heals him 20.
Kjato Ragfoot: But yes, both guard and horse are whole again.
chris107: 41/125
chris107: Thanks Sora
chris107: and 1 level of exhaustion
Smon: She frowns: "Your wounds are deep - and my power is limited. I have but three more castings today. Should I heal you further?"
Smon: (she has 1 2nd & 2 1st slots)
Smon: brb whisky
chris107: Nay lady, let us rest for an hour and I will be fit to carry on.
chris107: yum
Smon: Sora looks unsure, but nods.
chris107: If we are taking a short rest H will use 6 healing dice and recover 1 level of exhaustion. Maybe pulling the teeth of the Chimera?
chris107: (They will make a nice neclace for Malenn)
chris107 rolls 6d12+30 and gets: 5, 8, 10, 7, 8, 8, (+30) = 76
Smon: You call back the others & set camp... need to roll to see
Smon: /roll d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets: 1,
Kjato Ragfoot: Amdor, is there anything useful that can be taken from a Chimera? Organs that could be used in your research?
Smon: You do manage to rest!
chris107: 117/125HP
chris107: yay!
Smon: While Hakeem is collecting Chimera teeth and Amdor is brewing you all up a nice cup of tea, Sora approaches Thuruar.
Smon: Sora: "These monsters... I have heard of such beasts - in legends - but never seen such. They are unnatural. On this road one might see wolves, orcs perhaps. Wild boar. But this..."
Smon: She waves with her hand at the corpse hulks. "Powerful forces oppose your quest."
Kjato Ragfoot: Yes, they do.
Smon: Thuruar can make a Religion check - WIS w Prof.
Kjato Ragfoot rolls 1d20+10 and gets: 13, (+10) = 23
Smon: /roll d20+5
Smon rolls 1d20+5 and gets: 20, (+5) = 25
Smon: Thuruar, when the Chimerae came out of the darkened sun, for a moment you seemed to see it surrounded by a great serpent, the ouroboros, eating its own tail. An ancient symbol of Set, who the Nerathi call Zehir.
Smon: Sora: "I see by your eyes you saw it, too."
chris107:
Kjato Ragfoot: Indeed, I did.
Kjato Ragfoot: Even though I do not understand why even Set would support the Black Sun.
Smon: Image at the bottom of this page - http://4esouthlands.blogspot.co.uk/2011/09/neo-nerath.html
Smon: Sora critted her check
chris107: It seems the Nerathi have many wicked gods
Smon: Sora nods: "Many of the Neo-Nerath have turned to Zehir, as they call him. He has displaced the goodly Mitra in their lore."
Kjato Ragfoot: That is bad news indeed.
Kjato Ragfoot: They left wisdom and light, on a path that leads only to darkness.
Kjato Ragfoot: It also explains why they killed Amber first, the poor girl who only wanted to serve her people.
Smon: She looks to the sun, now touching the western mountains, and nods again. "Aye. Dark days are coming, if they cannot be stopped."
Smon: She nods again.
Smon: GM: You all have a nice cup of tea, then are ready to move on.
Smon: Thuruar are you spending any hd?
chris107: What are the funeral rites for Amber?
Kjato Ragfoot: Oh. Yes.
Kjato Ragfoot rolls 1d8 and gets: 7,
Smon: 9 back, to full?
chris107: Mitra been Malenn's god after all.
Kjato Ragfoot: Yes, back to full.
Smon: Hakeem make INT check
Smon: dc 8
chris107 rolls 1d20 and gets: 18,
chris107:
Smon: Hakeem remembers back to what Malenn taught him when they burned Bjornalf Brighteyes' body.
Smon: You need a funeral pyre for the Mitraic Rite.
chris107: "Would the bodies of these foul creatures make an acceptable funeral pyre?"
chris107: (been horridly cynical I guess the Chimera gave her a good funeral?)
chris107: H will do what the wise folk think best.
Kjato Ragfoot: Unlikely. But Thuruar will still speak the proper rites about her ashes.
Smon: (:D) You can gather sticks & set her a proper pyre.
chris107: Your call Kjato
Smon: Thuruar says a few words as the flames rise.
Smon: The sun sets, dusk falls.
Smon: Sora: "We must press on and reach Bellystone Ford tonight."
chris107: "Let's move."
Kjato Ragfoot: Yes. Indeed.
Smon: You ride.
Kjato Ragfoot: And Hakeem, remember, no more killing of humans unless in self-defense as long as we are in civilized lands.
chris107: H nods
Smon: A few miles brings you to a crossroads, where the main body of the Old South Road runs north/right, and splits Y-shaped SE (the way you came) and S. Sora directs you south.
Smon: Full dark has just fallen, the stars and the silver gleam of Heaven's Bridge overhead in the night sky, as you top a rise and see a sprawling rough hamlet on both sides of the Mageven River where it runs shallow over hard stones.
Smon: Off to the right across the ford a great tower looms on a hilltop, overlooking the town.
Smon: Sora: "We should find an Inn. I would bathe and get the filth of the road from me."
Kjato Ragfoot: That sounds like a good idea.
Smon: She could also be bothered by the pyre soot in her eyes and hair.
chris107: And a touch of chimera blood
9:23pm 2015-11-22 Oculus Orbus Has entered the room
Oculus Orbus: Hi, boys
chris107: Occs
Smon: GM: Descending the slope you enter the ramshackle village of Bellystone, soon locating a stone-walled inn on the north side of the ford, the One Eyed Hound.
Smon: Entering you find it packed with travellers, you are among the last to arrive tonight.
chris107: "Beer!"
Smon: The Innkeeper, a stout fellow, greets you amiably. "Beer it is, friends!"
Smon: A buxom Skandik serving wench shows you to a table and brings flagons of foaming Skandik ale.
chris107: yum
chris107: H passes her a golden coin
Oculus Orbus: (Telly Savalas played Blofeld in OHMSS)
Smon: Sora: "I would like a bath - and a private room." She passes over a gold coin.
chris107: (Kojakrect)
Smon: The maid nods. "Certainly ma'am."
Oculus Orbus: (Thus, it is the best Bond filem)
Smon: You notice a squad of soldiers in livery drinking nearby. Their red tabards show a golden pegasus & rider.
Smon: /roll d20
Smon rolls 1d20 and gets: 19,
chris107: do we recognise the livery?
Smon: Thuruat recognises the emblem - the Overlord of the City State.
Smon: These must be his meb
Smon: men.
Kjato Ragfoot: They are from the City State of the Invincible Overlord.
Smon: ooc will stop in a few mins.
Kjato Ragfoot: Probably on patrol to spare travellers from having to fight beasts like those that waylaid our travels.
chris107: Can we hear what they are discussing?
Smon: Sora nods. "Yes. There is a garrison at South March Tower - the great tower we saw on the hill across the river. There is also a Bardic college there, led by Cairnol."
Smon: Hakeem can hear them discussing the assets of the blonde Skandik maid who just poured your drinks.
chris107:
Kjato Ragfoot: Hmm. Well. You have what you have.
Oculus Orbus: bye guys
Smon: He also hears: "You can't go with her, Dolgath - firstly she'd never go with an ape-face like you. Secondly, Travar Angus'd have your guts for garters if you miss curfew!"
chris107: Well we were very lucky to survive this evening
chris107: bye occs
9:34pm 2015-11-22 Oculus Orbus Has exited the room
Kjato Ragfoot: Hmm. I will go ask the barman about the curfew.
chris107: Best we get some rooms then?
Kjato Ragfoot: That we should do anyway.
Kjato Ragfoot: But we need to know when we can start our journey the next day.
chris107: we do indeed.wise as always.
Smon: Thuruar goes up to the bar and asks the innkeep about curfew. He nods. "Aye, the Tower closes tight at the ninth hour, all the soldiers not on leave had best be back by then."
Smon: He scratches his balding head. "Oh, you thought they curfewed the TOWN?! Naw."
Kjato Ragfoot: Ah, so we can make as early a start tomorrow as we like?
Kjato Ragfoot: That is good to hear.
chris107: H passes another gold coin for a room
chris107: and another for Laara
Smon: The Innkeep takes the gold. "Thank'ee, but I only have three rooms left and the priestess took one - some of you will have to share."
Kjato Ragfoot: Still, we would like to rent rooms for the night if you have any left.
Smon: Laara smiles: "I think I feel safer with you in the room with me, Hakeem!"
chris107: H shrugs
Kjato Ragfoot: It is Amdor, two guards, Hakeem and Thuruar?
Kjato Ragfoot: And Rey and Alicia?
Kjato Ragfoot: In that case we will simply take both rooms left.
Kjato Ragfoot: And see how we get everyone inside.
chris107: if not H will find a handy stable
Smon: GM: The maid returns. "Your bath is ready, ma'am." She nods and rises. "Thank you."
Smon: GM: Think I'll stop there, before Inn shenanigans.
Kjato Ragfoot: It is two rooms with four people each, that should work.
