Sandor Sunneson: ha ha, was about to say Simon's late
Smon: Hi guys - sorry a bit late
Sandor Sunneson: Morning Simon
chris107: Hi Simon
Smon: Bill is here but thought I'd bring him in when time jump sorted.
10:10am 2017-1-28 Sandor Sunneson Has exited the room
10:12am 2017-1-28 chris107 Has entered the room
chris107: Oops
10:14am 2017-1-28 Sandor Sunneson Has entered the room
chris107: 1367 in gold Simon + 100 part exchange for the splint only leaves me a handfulof gold short for plate
chris107: Welcome back!
10:14am 2017-1-28 subaltari Has entered the room
Sandor Sunneson: ta, not sure why you get logged out
chris107: trying to do three things at once.
Smon: GM: 9/11/4446 Heading south, Sandor Amir & Svenya reach the Tower of Oriax, guarded by Amazons of Highhaven under Clenderi. While the amazons do not permit entry to the inner tower itself, they will allow you to use the outlying buildings including one that was once a tavern/inn for visiting merchants and the orc guards, a suitable base for exploring Dyson's Delve. From there you head north to the town of Ahyf, where Amir is able to commission a refurbished suit of Nerathi plate - you can also do any other desired trading.
Smon: GM Is that OK?
chris107: Got none of them right!
subaltari: ( hail Smon, may a humble pigrim beg permission to lurk )
chris107: That sounds great.
Smon: Hail subaltari, you're welcome to lurk.
Sandor Sunneson: Is there anything Sandor can purchase?? I'll top up arrows
chris107: Hey Subs
Smon: Svenya is happy to loan Amir the 37gp extra.
chris107: That's great
chris107: "Thanks Svenya"
Sandor Sunneson: The Amir Foundation receives gifts of all sorts from any PC
Smon: Fergus you can use the equipment lists from eg http://dnd.wizards.com/products/tabletop/players-basic-rules
Smon: Any standard equipment is available over the month.
chris107: AC20
Smon: Also take off 15gp each for modest subsistence.
Sandor Sunneson: I'll buy 20 arrows and a healers kit, not sure what it will be useful for, but always good to have primative first aid stuff on you
chris107: Todays spell choices. Bane, Shield of Faith and Hunters Mark (however I think I'll probably end up using just three Divine Strikes)
chris107: 52GP owed to Svenya then?
Sandor Sunneson: We'll approach the ladies guarding the tower asking if we can speak to their leader as we are concerned about happenings in Selatine
Smon: GM: OK, finished in Ahyf, 1 month later...
chris107: Aye, the death god has taken hold there.
subaltari: ( I don't advise calling an Amazon a "lady" !)
Smon: 9/12/46 Arriving by ship from Ahyf at Selatine that morning, you quickly climb the cliff steps & slip through the town, heading south to the Tower of Oriax which you reach that afternoon.
chris107: "Ancient Thanatos has arisen. The temple of Mitra is desecrated!"
Sandor Sunneson: I'll take a tinder box too from the equipment list, always useful when out
Smon: At the outer curtain wall gate an amazon guard allows you entrance and a short time later when you are settled in the otherwise empty tavern, Clenderi comes in to greet you.
Sandor Sunneson: how many Amazonae are there in the area of the tower?
Smon: The leader of the amazon guards is typically tall and shapely, with long dark hair.
chris107: The Amir bows graciously.
Smon: The guard seems to be a single squad, 8-12 maybe, with a single griffin stabled.
Smon: Clenderi: "Welcome, how may I assist you?"
Sandor Sunneson: Good morning Warrior Queen, we have come to tell you of a situation of concern in Selatine
chris107: chris107: "Ancient Thanatos has arisen. The temple of Mitra is desecrated!"
Sandor Sunneson: We have frequented said town fairly regularly recently and we believe the temple of Thanatos has started to flourish in the town
Sandor Sunneson: There is an old cleric there and the leader of the town, who seems to be charmed in a strange way by the old man
chris107: "Lord Vex is in thrall to a tyrant cleric called Macreus."
Sandor Sunneson: That's their names, thanks Amir
chris107: welcs
chris107: welcs
chris107: welcs
chris107: welcs
Sandor Sunneson: And the soldiers guarding the town are sturdy mercenaries
Sandor Sunneson: experienced warriors
Sandor Sunneson: we believe that if they are allowed to settle there, the long term prospects for peace in the area would not be good
chris107: "So we come seeking your aid."
Smon: Clenderi listens with concern. "I am no Queen - Artemisia is our Queen, but she has not been heard from recently. We fear she may have fallen to the Nerathi - or worse, been captured."
Sandor Sunneson: So firstly we thought we would make you aware of this, and secondly, we want to take them out
Sandor Sunneson: and are seeking your help
Sandor Sunneson: Would you be willing to help us save Selatine?
chris107: "Sad news indeed. The Nerathi will pay dearly for this."
Smon: Clenderi: "My instructions are to guard this tower on behalf of Lady Meda of Thusia. She is an Amazon and a great Loremaster. If you wish I can see that she is informed."
chris107: "Aye, that would help us greatly."
Sandor Sunneson: Please, for the greater peace and security of the area
Smon: "We cannot attack Selatine. For one thing, we are few in number, though skilled. Secondly, Selatine belongs to Lord Vex, we cannot war against the Ghinarian Lords."
Sandor Sunneson: We believe that if we were to remove the cleric, it would be hoped that the mercenaries then surrender
chris107: "Then perhaps Lady Meda could give us guidance?"
chris107: "Mcreus must not prevail."
Sandor Sunneson: Can you tell us more about this Lord Vex?
Smon: She nods. "Lady Meda will know what to do - she may wish to wait until Lord Hakeem returns from the North, but I am sure all will be dealt with in time..."
chris107: (The Slayer is indeed eager to return from the North )
Smon: Clenderi in lounge garb https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEir1HwCjxwlJSb7vI1GFk-5l8u7lCRqVeRXtSdxbpmdoK9LcygBJSHvuPSHIkyGeVEIxUd4ScGZs2duqvHqKuPuUgdgRC8BdS9oETfmPxP5PdcfBzwjRwLLQUaDupHiysNBXAV2aCxdRYM/s1600/Clenderi+the+Amazon.jpg
Sandor Sunneson: Does this indicate that Lord Vex is higher than aL4/5 level cleric ??
chris107: AC?
Sandor Sunneson:
Sandor Sunneson: That not Lord Vex then ??
Smon: Clenderi turns to Sandor: "Lord Vex was once a great warrior-lord - before Hakeem came, he was the only non-amazon to have defeated Warlord Yusan in battle... But now his spirit is gone, crushed by Oriax."
Sandor Sunneson: Is that how she is dressed? How is Svenya reacting to her garments? Guess she has very little on anyway
chris107: "He did seem like a broken man. Not wicked, just misled."
Sandor Sunneson: Why don't they just wear their birthday suits??
Smon: "To save his village from Oriax, he gave up their freedom. A bad trade. His warriors abandoned him. The Orcs looted and enslaved his people. I have heard that he is sunk in misery - perhaps he thinks now that only Thanatos speaks truth."
Smon: She's wearing the depicted garb plus a sword belt - Amazons get AC bonuses when dressed like that.
Smon: Svenya glances occasionally at Sandor but otherwise stays quiet.
Sandor Sunneson: when will this Hakeen chap return from the noryth?
chris107: "Perhaps we should return to the Delves while we await news from Lady Meda?"
Smon: "I believe he will be gone some time. He seeks the Riddle of Steel, to reforge the Sword of Bondorr - a great undertaking, even with the Elf-Smith Aeanor to guide him."
chris107: (I ned pennies to pay off my debts!)
Sandor Sunneson: Yes, you read my mind, what do you think Svenya darling?
Smon: Clenderi nods. "Tomorrow dawn I will take my griffon and fly north to Thusia, consult with Lady Meda."
Smon: Svenya nods. "This seems a good place from where to explore the Delve - and gold is always useful..."
Sandor Sunneson: Part of me thinks Lord Vex must be executed for his crimes, he is of a weak mind, but then, maybe we can persuade him, if he is only loyal to Thantos by prayer, we could maybe get him on our side
chris107: "He is the rightful Lord of Selatine. It's the usurper Macreus who must face justice."
chris107: "I have sworn vengeance upon him and his wicked god. Horus shall see them fall."
Sandor Sunneson: What do we know about Macreus, is he from Celtic lands of Caledonia ? of the Reus clan? This MacReus?
Sandor Sunneson:
chris107: hehe
chris107: A little Scotts humour there
Smon: Clenderi pauses. "A priestess of Mitra visited us recently - Jana Vex, Lord Vex's sister. She had been expelled from Selatine. She was travelling on south to the Citadel of Water, but she may return this way soon. Perhaps she would be a better ruler of Selatine..."
Sandor Sunneson: Do we know much about the cleric?
chris107: "Lady Vex was most helpful. I believe she has taken boat to look for one of her acolytes."
Sandor Sunneson: intelligence check for Clenderi re: the cleric Smon??
Smon: Clenderi: "Is Macreus Tharbrian? No, I do not think so. He is rumoured to be of the ancient Ghinorans of the Lost City of Thracia, whose ruins lie north of Selatine. They say that Hakeem wakened him from a thousand years of slumber, brought him back to Selatine as prisoner. But somehow he has won the confidence of Lord Vex."
Smon: Clenderi: "Lady Vex said she had returned from a boat trip, that her acolyte the priest Polyakkus had refused to return with her from his exile, I believe."
Sandor Sunneson: I think we best take him on with a stronger force than us 3, might be worth us using Selatine as a base though so we can monitor their progress and maybe befriend the guards
Smon: "That he was seduced by some nymph of the isles, Cassandra I think her name."
Sandor Sunneson: our faces are known there, so that should not arouse suspicion
chris107: "I fear we would be the ones under observation my friend. Would you sleep well knowing that the Death Lord was stalking the town?"
Smon: Clenderi: "I would beware this Macreus. He has marked you. Even now he may plot your death..."
chris107: (Ah! Cassie Starling )
Smon:
Sandor Sunneson: Ok, lets base ourselves in this town
Sandor Sunneson: and use this to head to the Delve
Sandor Sunneson: are we agreed?
chris107: "And here we are closer to the Delves."
chris107: "We need to hone our skills to better exact vengeance."
Sandor Sunneson: What's the town to the north of Selatine? is it worth warning them about the fate of Selatine? I fear if Vex visits there, the town will fall
Smon: GM: You rest overnight in the tower outbuilding, then next morning you head for the Delve.
chris107: (We have many opportunities on level 3, the Manticore etc.)
Sandor Sunneson: do we all make charisma checks with Clendri? She may fancy a bit of ladies action with Svenya?
chris107: (We have many opportunities on level 3, the Manticore etc.)
Sandor Sunneson: do we all make charisma checks with Clendri? She may fancy a bit of ladies action with Svenya?
chris107: (We have many opportunities on level 3, the Manticore etc.)
Sandor Sunneson: do we all make charisma checks with Clendri? She may fancy a bit of ladies action with Svenya?
chris107: (We have many opportunities on level 3, the Manticore etc.)
Sandor Sunneson: do we all make charisma checks with Clendri? She may fancy a bit of ladies action with Svenya?
Smon: (Sandor can make a CHA check but no nookie that night). You are crossing the plain north towards the low cliffs when you hear the beat of great leathery wings... a Wyvern!
Sandor Sunneson: true Chris
Sandor Sunneson: he also has a lady
Sandor Sunneson rolls 1d20 and gets: 20,
10:52am 2017-1-28 DESTROYERBILL Has entered the room
chris107: We have another Rey!
Sandor Sunneson: lol, wish I used that for the fight
Smon: LOL Clenderi is clearly enraptured by the handsome Skandik.
subaltari: ( nothing like a wyvern to get the big head thinking again )
chris107: Hi DESTROYERBILL
DESTROYERBILL: hi
Sandor Sunneson: at least he has made a very positive impression
Smon: You are crossing the plain north towards the low cliffs when you hear the beat of great leathery wings... a Wyvern!
DESTROYERBILL: ?
Smon: The great Wyvern sets down just ahead of you, and you see the white scaled form of Drakonok.
chris107: "Drakonok!"
DESTROYERBILL: hello
Sandor Sunneson: the traveller returns
chris107: "You return. And you have a dragon..."
Smon: The cave entrance to the Delve looms about 200 yards north of where Drakonok landed.
Smon: Svenya: "Welcome back, big guy!"
DESTROYERBILL: i already put that terrible guard in prison
Sandor Sunneson: on we go, we have another manticore to slay
chris107: "Then let us do war upon the forces of chaos!"
DESTROYERBILL: this morning i flew over selitine and picked up the guard and put him on a rock in the middle of the sea
Smon: GM: Drakonok's wyvern scratches the ground happily. It bears an ornate saddle of the Dragonbear Clan of ancient Oricha, south of the Ghinarian Hills.
chris107: "Your vengeance is swift, Dragonborn."
Smon: Svenya: "Hm, I bet Macreus won't have liked that... "
Sandor Sunneson: can I get one of those? Would be great for travelling around on, Svenya, we could travel the world!!
chris107: Amir Asad looks impressed.
DESTROYERBILL: only dragonborn can ride a wyven solo
Sandor Sunneson: Rather than take a ship home, we could fly there, so much quicker
Smon: Svenya nods, looking a little wary of the huge scaly beast. "I liked the amazon's griffon better, though."
Sandor Sunneson: anyway, shall we enter the Delve, all ready?
DESTROYERBILL: a huamn with no draganborn cant ride a wiyven
Smon: Svenya nods. "Let's head down to where we killed the manticore..."
chris107: "Perhaps one day you could teach us?"
chris107: (I have my map to hand)
chris107: To the hexagonal room?
Smon: GM: You enter the Delve and work your way down to the fourth level, leaving the wyvern on guard outside.
Sandor Sunneson: Ja
chris107: Stps down through an arch to the south
Sandor Sunneson: any wondering monsters?
chris107: or the doors and arches to the east and south?
Smon: Descending the steps from level 3 you enter the hexagonal chamber with battered door to east and stairs to the south leading further down.
Smon: The east door leads to the manticore lair.

Smon: Amir is opening the east door?
chris107: He is. Shield up and ready.
Smon: Amir opens the door onto the long, dim-lit passage.
Smon: It runs east towards the manticore lair, with door then arch on the south wall before the second arch.

Sandor Sunneson: yes
Sandor Sunneson: We'll send Amir's ferret ahead to check out the long tunnel for us
Smon: GM: You head 80' east to the end of the passage, taking the second arch into the manticores' gory slaughterhouse.
chris107: haha

Sandor Sunneson: is there a stench of death ?
DESTROYERBILL: yes my armpit(says drakinok)
Smon: A second arch from there enters a debris strewn chamber, with the manticore lair/nest through a third arch to the west - and yes, the second manticore is in the nest, idly piling up some of the silver coins scattered around.

Smon: You can stand between 2 & protect both but it only counts vs first attack
Smon: Wolf Totem advtg to hit not init?
chris107: Okay, thanks.
Sandor Sunneson: yes, melee attack rolls, sorry getting used to this, lol
Smon: Generally I think you have to choose who to protect vs single foe unless you won init & were first into melee so 1 ally on each side
Smon: Svenya attacks
Smon: /roll d20+5x2
Smon Rolls 1d20+5x2 and gets:
11 (+5) = 16
6 (+5) = 11
Smon: Sandor is in the middle so giving advtg to allies on each side
Smon: Svenya hits
Smon: /roll d8+5
Smon rolls 1d8+5 and gets: 6, (+5) = 11
chris107: Wow, doing well!
DESTROYERBILL rolls 1d20+7 and gets: 13, (+7) = 20
Smon: Drakonok shoots his bow, hits!
DESTROYERBILL rolls 1d10+3 and gets: 7, (+3) = 10
chris107: Nice rolls
Smon: The badly wounded manticore gives a final roar as the arrow pierces its chest, then rolls over.
chris107: If it still stands..
Smon: It looks dead, tongue lolling out.
chris107: No need then
Sandor Sunneson: I'll decapitate it
Sandor Sunneson: being a mental barbarian
Smon: Sandor raises the sword and cuts off the great hoary head.
chris107: hehe
DESTROYERBILL: i take its whiskers
Sandor Sunneson: we can feed the head to the fire beetles
Smon: Drakonok harvests the beast whiskers.
Sandor Sunneson: as a thank you for the treasure they protected for us
Sandor Sunneson: how much horde is left?
chris107: Also collect the last of the nest loot.
Smon: Around 10,000 sp - worth a thousand gold.
Smon: weighs 100 lbs
chris107: Very nice, I can pay my debts
Smon: 2500 sp each? 25 lbs weight will be all your packs can carry.
Sandor Sunneson: shall we leave it here for the return ?
Smon: Svenya: "I'm taking my share..."
chris107: It's a good start, we can swap over if we find anything more valuable.
Smon: She starts shovelling cash into her pack.
chris107: Me too, just in case.
Sandor Sunneson: I guess if we come across more, we can swap it for the more valuable stuff
Smon: "Let's take a short rest, I need to bind this wound."
chris107: Okay.
Sandor Sunneson: I'll use the first aid kit thing and offer it to Svenya so she can bind her wound
Smon: I'll give Svenya +1 to hp recovery as you tend her wounds with the healer's kit.
Smon: /roll 2d10+5
Smon rolls 2d10+5 and gets: 1, 3, (+5) = 9
chris107: How's she doing?
Smon: She's on 23/28.
Sandor Sunneson: Can I get a wisdom increase?
Sandor Sunneson: or at least some XP for out of the box thinking
Sandor Sunneson: cool
chris107: I will lay on hands for 5 more. Now 10/15HP curing left
Smon: sorry unexpected door knock
11:45am 2017-1-28 Smon Has exited the room
Sandor Sunneson: all the boys are helping here
11:45am 2017-1-28 Smon Has entered the room
DESTROYERBILL: edo;/
DESTROYERBILL: hk
Sandor Sunneson: Witnesses??
DESTROYERBILL: me
Smon: Svenya: "Much better - thanks both of you!"
Sandor Sunneson: head on party??
chris107: Yup
DESTROYERBILL: sure
Smon: There is a door in the west wall of the manticore lair, when Svenya opens it it leads into the long north south tunnel that leads north to the long east-west tunnel you came down already.
Sandor Sunneson: A circle
chris107: yes
Smon: To the south it runs 20' or so to a 4 way intersection. 2 huge ornate pillars support the ceiling, tunnels run east & west and in the south wall are set huge bronze-clad doors.
Sandor Sunneson: south?
Smon: The doors show signs of having been battered and clawed from your side.
Smon: /roll d20
chris107: To the huge doors
Smon rolls 1d20 and gets: 16,
chris107: Are they plain or decorated?
Smon: In the muck of the floor you make out numerous goblin tracks coming in & out through the bronze doorway.
Smon: They are decorated, bull head emblems you think, but so battered it's hard to make out.
Sandor Sunneson: could be more of them??
Sandor Sunneson: What is the symbol of the Thanatae? Bulls Head Amir?
DESTROYERBILL: drakinok fools to the grond becuse of over consumchin of cake and passes out
Smon: Svenya: "Skull for Thanatos right? Bull is Baphomet."
chris107: Poor Drakonoc
Sandor Sunneson: Possibly, not sure, hence why I asked
Sandor Sunneson: anyway, come on, lets go on
chris107: Knowlege roll?
Sandor Sunneson: weapons at ready
Sandor Sunneson rolls 1d20 and gets: 2,
Smon: Amir can make INT check w prof
Sandor Sunneson: Sandor doesn't know
chris107 rolls 1d20+2 and gets: 4, (+2) = 6
chris107: maybe not
Sandor Sunneson: Hence justifying the reason for asking
DESTROYERBILL: drakanok 4420-4446 death by cake
Smon: Amir doesn't recognise the design.
Sandor Sunneson: Amir shrugs and they head on
Smon: LOL
Smon: Head on where?
chris107: It's a better death than most of us can expect Bill.
chris107: Through the double doors?
chris107: Can we find a way to open them?
Sandor Sunneson: down the south passage?
Sandor Sunneson: yes
DESTROYERBILL: died 29th of the 11
Smon: Svenya nods and tries the double doors - they're securely barred from the far side.
Sandor Sunneson: and the east/west ones?
Smon: In the intersection you can see that the east tunnel runs 15' to another door, the west tunnel 15' to a N-S t junction.
DESTROYERBILL: drakinok dioed of cake dieabetias bye
Sandor Sunneson: does anything on the other side hear us?
Smon: /roll d20
Smon rolls 1d20 and gets: 11,
11:54am 2017-1-28 DESTROYERBILL Has exited the room
Smon: Sandor listens - he hears what sounds like muttering and the padding of goblin feet.
Smon: OOC good time to stop?
Sandor Sunneson: more goblins on other side I think
chris107: Can do Simon. Thanks
Sandor Sunneson: can do, am happy to play on a bit too, whatever suits you
chris107: Yeah I left all the early afternoon free just in case.
Smon: I can play some more ok
Sandor Sunneson: me too, lol
chris107: So happy to play on or leave it as suits.
Smon: Got a food delivery some time 12-1pm will need to stop then.
Sandor Sunneson: shall we play till 1?
Sandor Sunneson: ok, play until food delivery
chris107: Sounds good to me.
chris107: East to the door or check out the T Junction?
chris107: (Or find a way to get the Goblins to open the door)
Smon: Svenya goes over to the east door and listens.
Sandor Sunneson: check out east door? How many goblin feet approx?
Smon: /roll d20
Smon rolls 1d20 and gets: 8,
Smon: Several goblins.
Smon: Svenya: "Can't hear anything."
Sandor Sunneson: lol,
Sandor Sunneson: lets head east
Sandor Sunneson: I'll check east door too
chris107: Any sign of scuffy goblin foot prints near the east door?
Smon: Amir checks - yes, lots of goblin prints by east door too. Svenya checks door: "This one is barred too..."
Smon: A hush falls, and you get the feeling there are a lot of creatures just beyond the doors trying to be quiet...
Smon: /roll d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets: 5,
Sandor Sunneson: Must be a load of them, more footprints
Sandor Sunneson: get ready to rumble
chris107: Whispers "Do we want them to come out?"
Sandor Sunneson: I'm not sure, could we position ourselves that if they attack only the front row can get to us?
chris107: Looking at the corridor, yes.
Sandor Sunneson: I'd rather not, they sound quite high in number
chris107: If we can draw them out.
Smon: Not while you're in the intersection - the walls curve gently to the bronze doors creating a nice wide area.
chris107: But likely be attacked from the rear if the ones behind the double doors hear.
chris107: ah, my map isn't that accurate
Smon: If you all crammed into the east west or north tunnel that might limit attacks.
Sandor Sunneson: They know we're here, they are playing quiet I think
chris107: So how do we get the buggers out?
Smon: Svenya: "Best thing would be if we could get them to come out while we fall back up the north tunnel, then only a few could get at us."
Smon: Svenya shrugs.
Sandor Sunneson: yes, lets try that, shall we noise them up?
chris107: "That would make good sense."
Sandor Sunneson: So bang on one of the doors barr shut
chris107: Worth a try then leg it to the north.
Sandor Sunneson: anyone here?
Sandor Sunneson: yes, lets try that
chris107: BANG-BANG-BANG
Smon: Amir bangs on the south door.
Smon: /roll 2d6
Smon rolls 2d6 and gets: 2, 6, = 8
Sandor Sunneson: On the door, #loveshack
chris107: (Wonder if the n side of the t leads to the door in the original corridor? Could cut us off there if there are lots of them)
Smon: You hear goblin whimpers.
Smon: /roll d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets: 1,
Smon: The doors don't open.
chris107: (Are they still fightened of the Manticore?)
Sandor Sunneson: Here we go?
Smon:
Sandor Sunneson: The manticore has been killed, you are free to go
Smon: Make a CHA check Sandor
Sandor Sunneson: don't attack us and we won't attack you
Sandor Sunneson rolls 1d20 and gets: 19,
Smon: nice
chris107: very nice
Sandor Sunneson: I give you my word, I am Sandor Sunneson
Smon: You hear a bolt being drawn then the bronze doors open, you see a long, high-ceilinged chamber that might once have been a temple hall, but now serves as a foul smelling goblin lair. 4 frightened looking female goblins look up at you, two holding goblin babies.
Smon: "Youz killed the Manticore?!"
chris107: Awww
Sandor Sunneson: Both are killed,
Sandor Sunneson: Are there any more? We killed 2
Smon: The goblin female smiles broadly revealing sharp teeth: "Weez tell Big Chief Ripnugget!"
Smon: "Juz two!"
chris107: "Where is this chief little one?"
Smon: "Comz wid me!"
chris107: "Shall we Sandor?"
Smon: The female goblin enters the intersection then hurries west.
Smon: Svenya shrugs.
chris107: follow
Sandor Sunneson: I think so, we'll bring the maticore head too
Sandor Sunneson: yes follow
Smon: She reaches the west T-junction. Following her you see a N-S tunnel - to the north it ends after 10' at a well maintained door, no scratch marks, but she heads south.
chris107: follow again
Sandor Sunneson: follow
Smon: The tunnel runs south 10' then splits, south it continues 10' to end at a door, west it runs 10' west to end at another door - both doors battered.
Smon: She takes the west door and knocks loudly. "Chief Ripnugget! Visitors!"
chris107: got it.
chris107: Amir grasps his shield and flail firmly.
Smon: A bolt is drawn and the door is opened by a hulking goblin guard, several more goblins beyond.
chris107: (Oh for a Sleep spell)
Sandor Sunneson: We bring you the head of the manticore that persecuted you poor goblins
Smon: The chamber beyond is 30'x30' with a door at s end of w wall and an arch in w end of s wall.
Sandor Sunneson: I lift up the head to show the goblins
Sandor Sunneson: how many goblins in total?
Smon: The goblins lead you through the s archway, 10' passage into the goblin throneroom, a large hexagon (extended n-s) about 40' n-s by 30' e-w with arches in w & e walls.
Sandor Sunneson: I am Sunneson of the North, and have come to free you of the beasts that caused the genocide amongst your community
Smon: The Goblin King lounges on a throne of wood and bones, a half dozen guards around him.
Smon: You also seem to have picked up maybe a dozen goblin followers behind you.
chris107: Hmmmm
Sandor Sunneson: Are they all weaponed up?
Smon: A hush falls over the goblin throng as Sandor raises the manticore head and makes his spiel.
Smon: Yes they're armed, the guards with scimitars & javelins, others with short blades
Smon: The guards have chain shirt & shield, others have bits & pieces, some with shields.
chris107: Amir Asad is prepared to cast Shield of Faith..
Smon: The Chief grins. "Well done Oomanz!"
chris107: Should things turn nasty.
Sandor Sunneson: Hopefully you can now live in peace and your community can prosper
Smon: The goblins nods happily.
Smon: "I beez Ripnugget! Manticorez been stealin our gold & eatin' our gobboes!"
Smon: "We iz appy you killz dem!"
Sandor Sunneson: well that should hopefully be in the past. Please tell us more about these delves
Sandor Sunneson: what is believed to wander the lower layers?
chris107: The Amir is keeping out of this. Consorting with Goblins not been chapter1 of the paladins handbook.
Sandor Sunneson: Being creatures of the Delves yourselves, you must know of the legends that live down below
Sandor Sunneson: you have not received the second edition then Amir?
Smon: food came.
chris107: He will eye the little savages closely for signs of betrayal.
Smon: have to stop there
chris107: No probs. Thanks again guys
chris107: We survive another week!
Smon: May be too busy to play weekday but could do next Saturday ok
Sandor Sunneson: ok, good point to stop, why don't you tally up XP post food and email us ?
