6:12pm 2016-4-13 Kjato Ragfoot Has entered the room
Smon: Hi Kjato
6:13pm 2016-4-13 chris107 Has entered the room
Kjato Ragfoot: Hello
6:13pm 2016-4-13 DESTROYERBILL Has entered the room
Smon: Hello all
chris107: Simon, DESTROYERBILL, Kjato
Smon: My Internet wouldn't connect after 10 mins so I'm using my phone as a base station - luckily just upgraded to 4 gigs data.
Kjato Ragfoot: I am very tired today. Please, no actions that require me to think.
Smon: Heh
DESTROYERBILL: sheild biters ready to go
chris107: Two games in 5 days
Smon: That's the spirit for high level political intrigue Kjato!
chris107: I been thinking through Hakeems point of view.
DESTROYERBILL: im board kill kill kill
Smon: Stay classy Bill
chris107: I'm not sure if we should trust Yusan at all. Is there some way that Thur can proove/disprove paternity.
DESTROYERBILL: nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
DESTROYERBILL: I'm not sure if we should trust Yusan at all. Is there some way that Thur can proove/disprove paternity
Smon: In Yusan's Hall: >>Yusan chuckles. "You are proud. You are right to be. I'd slay the man who demanded I bow my head to him." Smon: "But the Ghinarians are weak - like sheep. They need the strong hounds to protect them..." chris107: "We have a man with Kren now. We will return and meet with him. Demand that Kren comes to heel. I will u in two days." chris107: Sorry coing bonkers here. Smon: chris107: Computer only typing every other word chris107: 'll sign out and back in. Smon: (finishing shortly) Yusan: "Bring Krens to heal. If we won't yield - slay him, and you'll at least save his men."<<
Kjato Ragfoot: I think we should fireball Yusan and his lackeys, leaving a delayed fireball behind that explodes when we march out of the council room.
chris107: 2 days, maybe 4 if Yusan waits then marches on Kren's Cairn. Is that enough to get the Dragons and the Tiger Claws here?
Smon: >>"Is he such a fool? Father?" Hakeem gives him his trade mark broad grin<<
chris107: Well I wanted to get Thur and I out and give us time to think and decide our course.
Smon: >>5/6/446 Ilyra Thuruar & Hakeem travel to Theber, meet Yusan. 6/6/4446 Sarene leaving Trade; Altanian host going from Trade to Krens' Cairn. 10/6/4446 Altanian fleet due to rendezvous with Red Tiger Clan (Xatchar) & Dragonborn at Dianceht in Oricha.<<
chris107: We need to talk to Kren then and look at his defences.
Smon: GM: Yusan invites Hakeem & Thuruar to stay and feast with his generals - "Plenty of time to get Krens tomorrow."
DESTROYERBILL: i can git the dragonborn hear oh hakeam do you want to have a super poisenos wiven
chris107: yes please Bill. The more the merrier!
Smon: Meanwhile in Trade Shieldbiter has recovered from his wounds...
DESTROYERBILL: kill kill kill dood hwo i lost to befoar
chris107: "I thank you Yusan. But the sooner we get to Kren's Cairn the sooner we can... move things along."
chris107: We are likely need him on our side Bill.
chris107: We will need all the allies we can muster.
chris107: Siding with the evil Yusan just does not sit well with Hakeem.
Smon: Yusan nods. "Aye. Hurry back."
Smon: GM: Hakeem & Thuruar are escorted out of Theber and given horses for the trip back to Trade.
chris107: Phew
Smon: As they ride into town that afternoon, they see a large crowd gathered in the town square, where two mighty warriors are facing off in a death-duel...
chris107: Could we judge the strength of his forces from what we saw?
Smon: Maybe 600+?
chris107: Cripes!
chris107: Is one Shieldbiter?
Smon: Tarcon raises his war-spear, point glittering in the sunlight. "DRAGONBORN! No quarter this time!"
chris107: Good luck DESTROYERBILL!
Smon: Shieldbiter and Tarcon are surrounded by a tight-packed circle of pirates and villagers, cheering them on. Sarene is placing a bet with a fat merchant.
DESTROYERBILL: i will fight like my ansetors on the dragon side so dinsoars
Smon: Sarene: "Fifty gold says the Dragonborn eats Tarcon's shield!"

DESTROYERBILL rolls 1d20+4 and gets: 11, (+4) = 15
Smon: The men of Trade look uncertainly at Shieldbiter.
chris107: "I'll kill him later Sarene. We need to get our forces here double quick or there will be only the smoking ruins of Ghinarea left when you arrive."
Smon: Sarene nods: "We can set sail dawn tomorrow."
Smon: Shieldbiter roars in Draconic.
DESTROYERBILL: this is my village im alredy a prince of dragonborn so i will give this villege to hakeam
chris107: Kjato, are you good with standing agin Yusan?
chris107: Thanks Bill
Smon: The Altanians greet Hakeem, asking if they are to march to support Krens tomorrow.
Smon: The men of Trade look uncertainly to Hakeem.
Kjato Ragfoot: I am good with standing against Yusan.
chris107: "Come, the gods have chosen the victor. Stand with us. Or suffer under Yusan's yoke."
Smon: Hakeem make CHA check.

Kjato Ragfoot: Hakeem. Calm down.
DESTROYERBILL: hellp us or face the death of the one like yoar tarken
Kjato Ragfoot: Women, we do not want to harm you nor your sons.
Smon: "He will murder our sons! Flay them as he flayed the men of Theber!"
chris107: "THEY WILL HAVE YOU TOO WITHIN THREE DAYS!"
chris107: Hakeem looses interest in these less than men. They would be no use to him, they have no courage.
chris107: Sarene, prepare to sail when you can. Time is now vital.

Kjato Ragfoot: They are already afraid of Yusan, if you scare them as well, they will simply fall down in desperation.
Smon: Sarene: "Fear is underrated, good priest!"
Smon: She seems to like Shieldbiter.
Kjato Ragfoot: Well, he is her kind of man.
chris107: (We need to find a way of releasing their children. Rey maybe?)
DESTROYERBILL: you are now a part of the clAN dragonbear
Kjato Ragfoot: (I wanted to send some of their mothers to "look after their sons" and send them a secret message how to desert. But that is impossible now)
Smon: It's now about 5pm.
Smon: Still a couple hours to sunset.
chris107: (Why too late? Not for cunning Thuruar surely?)
Kjato Ragfoot: (If Kjato had not a massive headache, I might come up with something, but at the moment, I am quite happy if I can type coherent sentences)
chris107: (Ah okay. Sorry mate )
chris107: 2 mins chaps need a glass of water.
Smon: ok brb
DESTROYERBILL: brb
DESTROYERBILL: hn
chris107: back
DESTROYERBILL: hello
chris107: Hello Bill
chris107: How is Bravery doing these days?
Smon: Bravery has a big castle & is Baron Bravery.
Smon: He has the goblin tribes allied.
DESTROYERBILL: yes
chris107: That's great!
Smon: Yesterday he & Frosto the dragon attacked a hobgoblin fort...
DESTROYERBILL: yea
Smon: Frosto had trouble with the bugbears... down to 10hp...
chris107: Frosto
chris107: We could do with the dragons here now to help us agin Yusan.
DESTROYERBILL: maby you coald coame for a seshon froo one of the portals i
Smon: But Frosto breathed on the enemy chief twice & turned him into a hobsicle.
chris107: They could just turn the day for us.
chris107: hehe
Smon: If you're in London Chris you're welcome to come for a game.
Smon: I know Bill wants to see if Bravery could beat Hakeem.
chris107: Thanks that's really kind. I'm back in London in April but have a load of work stuff to do
Smon: Since Bravery has tons of magic items inc girdle of giant strength & magic armour, I think he might even though 5 levels lower.
7:23pm 2016-4-13 Amalric Has entered the room
chris107: That would be quite a fight I'm sure.
Smon: Hi G!!
Amalric: hoo-hah
Smon: You missed the duel.
DESTROYERBILL: frosto the level 11 dragons in speklarom with arealla the level6 dragon and drolem a level 21
chris107: Hey Graham
Amalric: between?
Smon: Remaining April games in my home game are Friday 22nd Tuesday 26th chris.
chris107: Shield Biter and the Lord of Trade.
Smon: Between Shieldbiter (Bill) & Tarcon, Lord of Trade.
Smon: Shieldbiter was losing until he went Reckless.
chris107: Sorry, I'm missing a month
chris107: I'm down 5th may for a week.
Smon: Ah - May is May Monday 2nd - 3pm (Bank Holiday) Friday 13th - with John Tuesday 17th - with John Monday 23rd
Smon: John is a player visiting from USA.
Smon: Boyfriend of another player. Young love.
chris107: "Rey do you fncy rescuing a gang of spotty youths from Yusan or at least getting them to desert at the right time?"
chris107:
Amalric: "Of course, Hakeem. Are they female youths?"
Smon: GM: Rey wanders down the gangplank of Lady Spite into the village, yawning. Looks like he missed a fight; blood and gore splattered over the town square.
chris107: Erm alas no
Smon: Hakeem calls him over...
Smon: The men of Trade pick up Tarcon's decapitated corpse and carry it away.
Amalric: "Ah well, I shall still do it."
chris107: But it could mean the difference between getting Trade to fight with us or not.
chris107:
chris107: Rey, convince the mothers of that and we will have the men on our side.
chris107: Could Thur Raise Tarcon? He would be a mighty ally.
Amalric: "What, ALL the mothers? That might take a while, sure I can manage it..."
chris107: hehe
Smon: Sarene: "Oi! No philandering with these strumpets!"
Smon: She gestures at a stout matron.
Kjato Ragfoot: I could do that tomorrow, but I need a 500 gp diamond. And a chirurg that sews his head back on.
Amalric: "Oh hey Sarene. Didn't know you were from Trade..."
chris107: Can we try that plan then Simon?
chris107: ah yes the head...
chris107: Got to be worth a try?
Smon: I'm not sure what your plan is.
chris107: A fighter with 3 attacks who owes us his life and a chance to rescue the chiuldren? What more do we need to do to get this blinking town onside?
Smon: Rey is Antillian, as are many of these folk, so he's a good choice of agent.
chris107: The plan is.
Kjato Ragfoot: Stichting Tarcon's head back on, find a 500 gp diamond in his treasure chamber and raise him from the dead tomorrow.
chris107: Get Rey to talk to the women folk about either rescuing or sorting out a timely desertion for their children.
Smon: GM: Ok - next day at dawn, Thuruar prays over Tarcon's corpse, establishes that his soul has passed on - he can't be raised.
chris107: Raise Tarcon, show him Thuruar's power
Smon: (Also stitching is probably not good enough)
chris107: Bugger
chris107: Okay so back to Rey's bit
Smon: GM: The day before yesterday Rey visited Lord Krens at Krens Cairn; Krens is refusing to submit to Yusan and preparing his defences.
chris107: Get the women onside if not Hakeem is just about ready to leave them to their terrible fate.
Amalric: so how do I do that?
Smon: You want the mothers of Trade to go to Yusan?(!)
chris107: In fact leave the whole of cowardly Ghinarea to it's fate.
Kjato Ragfoot: Well, in that case I would have to cast Ressurection instead of Raise Dead. Just requires a slightly more expensive diamond.
Smon: Yep
chris107: Or Rey to sneak in
DESTROYERBILL: no money from my vilages treasury
Smon: GM: Sarene prepares to set sail on the morning tide.
chris107: Find/release the young men or plot with them that their families have joined us and get them to turn coat at a crucial time.
Smon: Sarene: "Coming south to see your folks, Shieldbiter?"
DESTROYERBILL: yea
Smon: The women are terrified of what Yusan's brigands will do to them. The stories out of Theber are horrifying.
DESTROYERBILL: i am
Smon: Sarene grins: "Great! Then all aboard who's coming aboard! We're off to Oricha!"
Smon: Hakeem's men are marching east to Krens' Cairn?
Chris107: Yes
Smon: What are Rey Hakeem & Thuruar doing? Yusan wanted you to go to Krens & persuade him to submit.
Chris107: With good skirmishes and scouts
Chris107: To make sure Yusan doesn't pounce
Amalric: what are we doing?
Kjato Ragfoot: Thuruar will do whatever Hakeem suggests.
Chris107: Hakeem really wants to try the plan with Rey
Chris107: Get the folks of Trade inside
Smon: Sarene & Shieldbiter board the Lady Spite,
Chris107: On side
Chris107: We are too badly out numbered to face Yusan at Kren's Cairn
Smon: Sarene: "Rey, you coming? I'll be lonely without you!"
DESTROYERBILL: what are we doing? then
Chris107: Without them. Especially until Shield Biter, Sarene and the Dragons etc arrive
Smon: Sarene: "Come with me to Oricha, it'll be fun! Dragons and Wyverns oh my!"
Amalric: "Why don't we go to Oricha?"
Chris107: Because it will grant certain victory to Yusan
Smon: "And the Elf Maids of Dianceht are the fairest in all the land!" She winks at Rey.
Chris107: The Lords alliance have all ready given up.
DESTROYERBILL: its dragonborn and wivens no dragons we think its crultey to are own kind
Chris107: Only Krenn left
Smon: "I'm sure the Dragon maids of Delmirev are lovely too..." (to Shieldbiter)
Chris107: It's now or never
Kjato Ragfoot: Because we can only transport 300 men onboard our ships, and if we take 140 of ours, we can only gain 160 more, which would not do us any good.
Chris107: And Hakeem is not willing to see Yusan and the Neo Nerathi destroy his world between them
Smon: Sarene: "I'm sure your men can hold out at Krens Cairn until we get back..."
Chris107: Hakeem will not leave his men
Chris107: He would die first.
Smon: Sarene shrugs: "Suit yourself." she barks orders; pirates pull up the Lady Spite's gangplank. "If all goes well, see you in about ten days."
Smon: Sarene gives a farewell salute as the Lady Spite pulls away.
Chris107: 10 days will find only our bones Sarene
Smon: "Yeah, well, GOOD LUCK WITH THAT!!"
Smon: She grins wickedly and turns away.
Chris107: So does Rey carry out the plan?
Amalric: sure why not
Smon: You watch Sarene's fleet pull away on the morning tide.
Chris107: Or has he gone with Sarene, Shieldbiter etc?
Smon: Without some detail you're looking at a Nearly Impossible Persuasion DC here - DC 30.
Chris107: Thank heavens
Chris107: Thank heavens
Chris107: Thank heavens
Chris107: Thank heavens
Amalric: ouch, that is hard
Chris107: The details are this (as I can make them out)
Chris107: Trade will not stand with us as Yusan has their young men in his army and under threat of a horrid death?
Smon: Given that Yusan's reputation is such he'll likely have them raped to death and/or flayed alive.
Chris107: If we, that is Ret can either sneak in and release them or convince them to swap sides at an opportune time then perhaps the men of Trade will stand with us?
Chris107: Their life under Yusan sounds like it's going to be lots of fun
Chris107: Surely that must count for something?
Chris107: We can give them hope
Chris107: If not then H will wash his hands of them and set off for Kren
Chris107: Anyone there?
Smon: OK so you want Rey to go to Theber, make contact with the conscripted youth, That is MUCH more practical than persuading their mothers to go!
Smon: Which you appeared to be talking about.
Chris107: That's what I said well up page
Smon: That's not how it came out.
Chris107: But you have the skeleton of the plan now?
Smon: So it's about 9am in Trade. Your fleet has left, bound for Oricha. Your army is about to march to Krens Cairn.
Smon: Rey & Thuruar go with the army while Rey goes south?
Smon: Across the open plain? You know Yusan has scouts out.
Chris107: Have our scouts mentioned dangers from Yusan's forces?
DESTROYERBILL: dm no
Smon: Yeah, they report some enemy cavalry about a half mile south, maybe 20 men watching Trade.
Chris107: Under cover of darkness.
Chris107: The road from Trade to Kren's Cairn looks a bit shorter than that to Theber
Kjato Ragfoot: Hakeem, I think we should pay that cavalry a visit. Just exchange some pleasantries and such.
Smon: I need some clear statements "X does Y at time Z"
Chris107: Thuruar I agree.
Chris107: Transferring back to computer. This is really difficult on the phone
Smon: Yep.
Smon: I'm getting Bill to bed at 9.30, probably quit then.
chris107: This is what Hakeem wants to achieve.
chris107: Rey to convince the mothers and fathers that his plan to rescue /talk to their boys in Theber will work.
chris107: Then to skip off to infiltrate etc.
Smon: So Rey can spend the day talking to folk in Trade, ok.
Smon: Might work.
chris107: Now 21:00? So dark or getting there?
Smon: No, 9am!
Smon: The ships left just after dawn.
chris107: 9AM thanks.
chris107: 9AM thanks.
chris107: 9AM thanks.
chris107: 9AM thanks.
chris107: Can Thur devise a way of getting our lads across to Kren's Cairn without been seen?
chris107: If not it's going to be a foot race and make Rey's job a lot more dangerous.
Kjato Ragfoot: I could kill the mounted scouts?
chris107: Okay, that would be a great start. Can Hakeem help?
Kjato Ragfoot: Well, the plan would be basically go up to them, put them on fire, and Hakeem kills everyone who is left standing.
chris107: hehe
chris107: 20 horsemen?
Smon: These guys are Altanians, so they're going to be a lot tougher & smarter than Nerathi...
Amalric: sounds like a Hakeem plan
Smon:
chris107: Okay, Hakeem is game to try.
chris107: Today is a good day to die.
Kjato Ragfoot: It worked rather well last time, didn't it? We only lost two out of our group and most of the riders escaped.
chris107: As the old Altanian proverb says
Smon: GM: Hakeem & Thuruar are walking south to the riders? Is Rey going too?
chris107: Rey has (if he will stuff to do)
chris107: The whole plan hinges on him.
Amalric: Rey will join them
chris107: Though when the 20 horsemen kill Thuruar and Hakeem I guess it won't make much difference?
Amalric: he'll settle down somewhere, become a farmer
Amalric: with a harem
chris107: H shrugs and wonders if he and malenn should just do the same. This saving the world lark is hard work.
Smon: GM: OK, the three of you have the gates opened and walk south across the dusty plain towards the riders, who are sheltering from the red dusty wind in the lee of a weathebeaten copse of trees.
Smon: Spaghettti Western music plays...
8:11pm 2016-4-13 DESTROYERBILL Has exited the room
Smon: Twenty hard-bitten Altanian warriors watch your approach from horseback, spreading out slightly.
Smon: A grizzled, heavily scarred veteran calls out to you. "What do you want?! Back to Yusan?!"
chris107: (Could we just tell them we're going to Kren's Cairn and send them off to tell Yusan?)
Kjato Ragfoot: (We could. But that would be stupid)
Kjato Ragfoot: We found a strange magic in Trade, fearing Kren might spy on us.
chris107: (Okay, it's your plan. Hakeem will just wait and watch and prepare to sell his life dearly.)
chris107: (Or be whisked away at the last second by Thur's spells)
Kjato Ragfoot: We hoped you had one of those Unseen magicians with you, that could help us determine the cause.
8:14pm 2016-4-13 DESTROYERBILL Has entered the room
Smon: You're about 100' away now.
Smon: Make a CHA (Deception) roll Thuruar.
Kjato Ragfoot rolls 1d20+8 and gets: 11, (+8) = 19
Smon: The warrior grins, scarred face hideous. "Haw! No, those dogs are safe back in Theber, out of this damn wind!"
Smon: "Wouldn't mind havin' the blonde with me now, eh?!" He makes an obscene gesture.
Kjato Ragfoot: There is one looking just like her back in Trade.
Kjato Ragfoot: A pity you cannot visit her due to the rain.
Smon: "The rain?"
Smon: You're at 70'.
Kjato Ragfoot: Look at the skies, can't take long till the drops begin to fall.
Smon: He looks up at the wind-blown dusty sky.
Smon: /roll d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets: 6,
Smon: "Naww, never rains on days like this - this is the dry wind off the mountains..."
Amalric: Rey looks at them tapping the side of his head with his index finger, as if to indicate Thuruar is bonkers. Which he may well be
Smon: You're still closing? 40' away from the nearest, then.
Smon: They're spread out across a roughly 100'x50' deep semi-circle.
Kjato Ragfoot: Eh. That is basically the exact measure of a circled blade bareer.
Smon: He looks back down. "Aren't you supposed to be off to Krens, get that bitch to surrender like the other dogs?"
Smon: (8 minutes left)
Kjato Ragfoot: (What do you think - simply fireball them and then see how we fare against infantry? Or does any of you have a cunning plan?)
chris107: Then are we killing them all?
Amalric: (you there Chris?)
Amalric: fireball Kjato, or whatever else you can throw at them
chris107: Blade Barrier them to death if it fits?
chris107: I have no idea what spells you have
Kjato Ragfoot: I have Fire Storm, which should burn them all if I understood it correctly.
chris107:
Kjato Ragfoot: And then a Blade Bareer to keep them from running.
Kjato Ragfoot: The rest is up to Hakeem.
chris107: Let's do it then. Get them out of the way and get our lads to Kren's
DESTROYERBILL: okay
Smon: You currently have Surprise, tell me what you do.
DESTROYERBILL: z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z zz z z z z z z
Kjato Ragfoot: FIRE STORM on all of them.
chris107: Hakeem howls and draws Bloodletter after he sees Thur's spell work.
Kjato Ragfoot: That is, riders and horses.
chris107: Good luck lads!
Smon: /roll 2d4+2
Smon rolls 2d4+2 and gets: 4, 4, (+2) = 10
Smon: Lucky, every one of your 10 10' cubes catches a brigand!
Smon: roll the dmg please.
chris107: Phew! Great start!
Amalric: WOO-HOO!
Kjato Ragfoot rolls 7d10 and gets: 2, 9, 7, 4, 3, 6, 1, = 32
Kjato Ragfoot: That was sub-par.
Amalric: can't have it all
chris107: Still not bad
chris107: Hopefully kill the horses
Smon: 7 have 16 hp, they die.
Kjato Ragfoot: Will also set everything aflame which makes for a nice scenery for a TPK.
chris107: The a blade barrier finish some off
Smon: 2 Chosen Axe have 32 hp
chris107: hehe
Amalric: heh
Smon: DEX saves +0...
Smon: /roll d20x2

Smon: Leader /roll d20+1
DESTROYERBILL: if we do a eventoare in hell hakeams going to have to kill a undead trex and a undead beiher
Kjato Ragfoot: That is true.
Smon: /roll d20+1
Smon rolls 1d20+1 and gets: 18, (+1) = 19
Smon: He ducks & covers...

Smon: He rolls off his burning horse as it dies.
Smon: OK have to stop there, bed time for Bill.
chris107: Okay, thanks for the game Simon, guys
Amalric: what, surely we can kill him in a round or two
8:36pm 2016-4-13 DESTROYERBILL Has exited the room
Kjato Ragfoot: Good night Bill!
Kjato Ragfoot: And thanks for the game. See you next week, hopefully?
chris107: Hope you feel better soon Kjato

Kjato Ragfoot: Should Probably just lack of sleep today.
