XP: 4722
chris107: Numbers of opponents seem to count for more than levels in 5e
chris107: That's been my experience at least.
7:46pm 2017-2-23 Smon Has entered the room
Smon: Well there's a point where you can beat 20 orcs.
Sandor Sunneson: ah ok,
Smon: Orcs with 15 hp. But you can basically never beat 20 Veterans w 58 hp.
Smon: And you probably can't ever beat 400 orcs.
Sandor Sunneson: And the THACO not going up by 1 as you progress up a level too
Smon: So numbers always matter.
Smon: Well you can get your attack to say +11 vs opponents with AC 13-14
Sandor Sunneson: Or the days of an opponent having an AC of something like -35 but not wearing any armour due to a ring of treble dexterity or something like that
Sandor Sunneson: and a cloak of protection +4.5
Smon: Hakeem currently attacks at +13 - Bloodletter +2 Longsword (2 Attacks/Action) Attack +13 (+6 Prof +5 STR +2 magic) damage 1d8+11 1-hand raging (+5 STR +2 magic +4 rage), critical hit 5d8+11, rage 6/day
chris107: But your hero's AC is never good so a lot of +3 or +4 attacks can do a lot of damage
Smon: Hakeem Armour Class: 20 (10 +2 DEX +5 CON +3 for +1 shield)
Smon: That's at level 17.
Sandor Sunneson: He'll hopefully come back for the final Battle of the Delves
chris107: Ursa will swat away these tiresome Nerathi.
Smon: A land in torment cries out for Hakeem!
Smon: That's the spirit chris.
Sandor Sunneson:
chris107: Once Hakeem has mastered the Riddle of Steel he will do terriible war upon the Black Sun.
Sandor Sunneson: That sounds like something out of the retro Batman TV series
Sandor Sunneson: Hakeem vs the Riddler#
chris107: Hakeem is not much for joking
Smon: Riddle of Steel - from Conan the Barbarian (the real movie, pace Hakeem/Momoa)
chris107: He doesn't see much past stabbing enemies in the face - a lot.
Smon: Jason Momoa makes a great Altanian warlord.
chris107: He does indeed
Sandor Sunneson: In Wilderlands, where did we leave it GM? Last thing I remember, Sandor and the 2 ladies were going back to check out the aftermass of the damage?
Smon: Yeah.
Smon: You can push back through the brambles, DC 12 DEX save
Smon: /roll d20x2
Smon Rolls 1d20x2 and gets:
3 = 3
15 = 15
Smon: Meda gets scratched up.
Sandor Sunneson rolls 1d20 and gets: 4,
Smon: So does Sandor...
Smon: /roll d10
Smon rolls 1d10 and gets: 2,
Smon: You each take 2 damage.
Sandor Sunneson: uh oh, going to be a long night
Smon: Eventually you emerge on the edge of the crevasse, dawn breaking to the east.
Smon: To the north you see the smouldering battlefield, the cliff wall with dark dungeon entrance just to the west.
Smon: Corpses lie scattered about, but no sign of life,
Sandor Sunneson: Shall we go down I guess?
Smon: Clenderi: "We saw them falling back into the dungeon - ideal place to ambush us as we enter the camp..."
Sandor Sunneson: says Sandor/
Smon: Lady Meda: "I have an idea."
7:59pm 2017-2-23 genghisdon Has entered the room
Smon: Meda reaches in her pouch and produces an enormous ruby that glows with inner light.
genghisdon: hi, sorry i am late
chris107: Hey Don
Smon: Hi Don!
Sandor Sunneson: Hi Don
Smon: Meda: "This is the Heart of Dur. The hero Bjornalf Brighteyes died to bring it to me. I hope it was worth the cost..."
Sandor Sunneson: I've got the light from my sword Meda too
genghisdon: I can get in/ask questiosn once u guys find a good spot
Smon: Meda smiles, holding the Heart of Dur aloft.
chris107: me too
Smon: Suddenly as the morning sunlight strikes the Heart, the earth in the dell boils like the sea!
Smon: Out of the ground emerges a massive rocky form, shedding stones and earth like water!
Smon: Meda is concentrating hard...
Smon: Now the elemental turns, strides over to the dungeon entrance, and strikes the lintel a mighty blow.
Smon: It cracks, and you hear falling rocks, see dust billow from the entrance.
Smon: The elemental strikes again and again at the sandstone, until the dungeon gateway collapses with a thunderous crash.
Smon: Clenderi smiles grimly: "They'll not ambush us that way..."
Smon: Meda: "Thtat should slow them down, at least. It should be safe to descend."
Smon: Meda dismisses the elemental, it sinks back into the rock. She pockets the gem and Sandor leads the way down the track into the dell.
Sandor Sunneson: Remind me not to get on the wrong side of you 2
Smon: You reach the camp, soon locate Svenya's scorched and lifeless body, and Amir's corpse half-frozen.
Smon: Clenderi: "I am but a humble servant. Meda has the power."
Smon: Meda: "Lord Mycr has the power. I am but a vessel."
Sandor Sunneson: Bollix, what a horrible site. All she wanted to do was see the world and bring some gp back for her father so he could have a comfortable retirement
Sandor Sunneson: Poor Amir,
Smon: Meda looks sadly down at the bodies, tears in her eyes.
Sandor Sunneson: A loyal friend indeed, known for a time so short
Smon: "My fault... I was foolish, and arrogant. We must not make such a mistake again."
Sandor Sunneson: It was my fault, it was suggested to attack the Delve and explore further, I suggested we attack the camp instead too Meda
Smon: The bronnzewood staff of St Ulther is missing, and among the charred Nerathi corpses there is no sign of Kane, or his greatsword.
Smon: Clenderi nods agreement with Sandor. Meda inspects the ground.
Smon: "Blood here... Where Kane fell. Then..."
Smon: She sighs.
Smon: "I fear we will see him again."
chris107:
Smon: Clenderi snarls: "Damn the Black Sun! Let our dead rest in peace!"
Smon: Meda returns to Amir and Svenya. "The Black Sun has sucked the life force from them... I cannot help them. But we must secure their bodies."
Smon: Clenderi nods, and calls to her griffon.
Sandor Sunneson: you think he'll be resurrected???
Smon: The great beast comes swooping down into the dell.
Smon: Clenderi looks sideways at Sandor. "War dead."
Smon: Clenderi: "Help me strao the bodies on."
Sandor Sunneson: of couse, he helps
Smon: Meda looks over at the collapsed tunnel. "That should delay them a while, at least."
Smon: GM: You strap the bodies to the griffon, Clenderi directs the beast to return to Oriax's Tower - with some difficulty it scrambles up the cliffside, gets airborn.
Sandor Sunneson: on phone, brb
Smon: Sandor Clenderi & Meda head back up the track and return to the Tower of Oriax to carry out the funeral ceremony for their friends.
Smon: In Skandik and Altani style, the bodies are ceremonially burned on the funereal pyre.
Smon: * * *
Sandor Sunneson: back
genghisdon: (good time for my pyro to come along?)
Smon: OK Chris & Genghis, I'm thinking your PCs arrive at the Tower of Oriax a few days later along with some amazon reinforcements.
chris107: (I'm eagerto go too )
genghisdon: can i ask a few questions?
Smon: yup
chris107: *)
genghisdon: arcane focus: do they do anything in trhis editions? wand, staf,f orb, etc?
Sandor Sunneson: Sandor will spread the ashes of Amir and Svenya in the mountainous landscape
Smon: Magic ones give to hit bonus
Sandor Sunneson: or the pyre
genghisdon: and basic climate we are in
genghisdon: please
Smon: wand of the war mage gives +1 to +3 to hit & ignores half cover
genghisdon: is that the wand in the PH?
Smon: It's a DMG magic item
Smon: "Altanis: a land of mighty-thewed barbarians, seductive sorceresses, sinister Necromancers, laughing Rogues, foul Serpent-Men, and brutal Orcs. A land of warm winds and mighty storm. A land littered with the ruins of fallen empires and better days. It is a rough, violent land without a King, where the strength of one’s sword or spell counts for more than any laws. It is a land of high adventure. This campaign is set in the Arcadian expanses of the wild Ghinarian Hills, in eastern Altanis. Rumours abound of the Lost City of Thracia, roamed by degenerate savages and savage Beastmen. To the west, beyond the Castellan mountains, the Necromancers of Neo-Nerath plot in fallen Bisgen."
Smon: http://smons.blogspot.co.uk/2013/10/the-ghinarian-hills-campaign-labyrinth.html
Smon: Subtropical to Mediterranean climate
genghisdon: ok, i want minimal gear, but
genghisdon: cool
Smon: The Ghinarian hills are Arcadian, you are at a coastal plain just east of the hills.
Smon: Other areas nearby are savannah, jungle, meadows.
genghisdon: gear: snadals, loincloth, spell comp pouch (I barely need), knife, pouch with most of my gold, and if i need a "focus", then that too
Smon: ok
genghisdon: firebird/phoenix tat on my back
Smon: Your class description gives you starting gear BTW. + 10gp
Smon: ok cool
genghisdon: oh, your notes said to skil that, use 100 gp
genghisdon: skip
Smon: ??
Smon: No
Smon: Says 10gp.
genghisdon: no matter, I'm good
genghisdon: ok, i don;t want it anyway
genghisdon: lol
Smon: "Equipment Starting gold is 10gp." it says.
genghisdon: my bad, & it matters not at all
Smon: PHB says you can have 1 simple weapon or a light x-bow & 20 bolts, component pouch or arcane focus, explorer's pack, 2 daggers.
genghisdon: Gracyone the amazon sorceress is ready to light the world afire
Smon: ok cool
genghisdon: i know, thought your campaign specific instructions were different
Sandor Sunneson: brilliant, welcome onboard (when she arrives)
genghisdon: (I do not need arcane focus, correct? it does nothing?)
Smon: Some spells may require a Focus to work.
genghisdon: sure, i have one that needs compnent though, so pouch for me
Smon: Looking at PHB pg 203 it says you can use a Focus or component pouch to replace listed components, if they have no cost.
genghisdon: (mage armor needs leather strip)
genghisdon: my spells are (almost) all V,S so, it matters not for now
chris107: "By Moradin! More tits than a Druid's bird table!" Roars a bundle of foul smelling furs from the door way to Oriax's tower.
Smon:
Smon: The amazons glare at the barbarous dwarf.
genghisdon: I tall, stunning strawberry blonde wearing next to nothing approaches, a small bird of flame swooping around her
Sandor Sunneson: lol
chris107: "Which one's Meda? The old one I'm guessing? The Slayer sent me. I'm Ursa."
Smon: The amazon captain comes forward. "I am Clenderi." She nods to Gracyone. "Your aid is most welcome, sister. Who is this dwarf?"
Smon: Clenderi looks down disapprovingly at Ursa. "Lord Hakeem sent you?!"
genghisdon: (prestigitaion): the firery bird "burns away" the dearf's stink, replacign it with a bacon smell
chris107: "Aye lass. He did. Said you was having some bother with the Nerathi?"
Smon: The gracious Lady Meda descends the spiral steps from above to greet the newcomers.
chris107: He eyes the scantily clad Amazons greedily.
Smon: Meda: "You are most welcome, friends. Yes, the Black Sun are in Dyson's Delve."
Smon: The amazons eye him back dubiously.
Sandor Sunneson: Hello Ursa, I'm Sandor
chris107: "Then what the 9 Hells are we doing here?"
genghisdon: (prestigitation): smoke & heat rise from Gracyone's near nude form
genghisdon: "black sun?"
Sandor Sunneson: Hello Gracyone, welcome
genghisdon: "thank you, sir"
chris107: "BY MORADIN'S GREAT HAIRY BALLS! She's a HAWT one!"
genghisdon: gives him a killer smile
chris107: There is worrying stiring among the smelly bear furs.
genghisdon: (minor image): blows a flaming heat towards the dwarf
Smon: LOL
genghisdon: heart
genghisdon: (furs like bacon now, no?)
chris107: "Oh and hello chum." He holds out a hand calloused with decades of fighting and smith work.
Smon: Meda: "My friends, let us repair upstairs, and I will explain the situation..."
Sandor Sunneson: I think you 2 will get on well
genghisdon: Gracyone immediately follows her
genghisdon: she resists settign the railing aflame
Smon: Meda leads the fiery sorceress, hirsute dwarf, and noble Sandor upstairs to her planning room, the voluptuous Clenderi bringing up the rear.
chris107: Ursa stomps on after
chris107: Ursa tries to get right behind Gracyone
Smon: In the planning room Meda bids you sit at the table while Clenderi pours a fine red wine from the stocks of Oriax the Lecherous.
Sandor Sunneson: Sandor will sit beside Clenderi
Smon: Clenderi: "The Old Goat left us some good victuals..."
chris107: "Ah! Drink?!"
genghisdon: I'll sit across from her
genghisdon: (mage hand) a glass of wine floats it's way to my lips
Smon: Clenderi smiles at Sandor, in the days since Svenya's death she has made some attempts to 'comfort him for his loss', and anyone can see she has eyes for the handsome Skandik.
Sandor Sunneson: You a wine drinker or more of an ale drinker ? The wines in this area are of a good standard
chris107: (Watching Ursa eat and drink should be worth XP, he treats them as enemies, to be destroyed.)
genghisdon: "a tasty wine"
chris107: "Hey Wiziard girl! Watch this. I can make it disappear too!"
Smon: Clenderi: "I prefer wine..." she blushes winsomely at Sandor.
Smon: Meda watches her guests, sighs slightly at the hijinks.
genghisdon: "i see, your gusto is apreciated...do you perform with such gusto in all endevours, dwarf?"
chris107: "You better believe it!"
genghisdon: smiles
genghisdon: "so, this black sun is?"
Sandor Sunneson: It's all getting a bit out of control this, can we get back to business, we have the Black Sun on ourdoor step, and they pose a great danger to the area
Sandor Sunneson: bunch of nutters, death worshippers
chris107: "Aye, we have some killing to do."
Smon: Meda: "Yes. They are in the Delve, searching for the Heart of Elemental Chaos, with which to re-open the Black Sun Gate and raise thousands of War Dead, dooming our lands."
genghisdon: "well, sun makes me think they are great, but black as an adjective makes me think they might be abominations for me to BURN"
Smon: Meda nods. "Indeed."
genghisdon: "so, wretches of darkness they are, then?"
chris107: Ursa nods appreciatively
genghisdon: "they I will gladly burn away the darkness & thier wickedness"
chris107: "The worst kind. NECROMANCERS!"
Sandor Sunneson: we have one of their prisoners here,
Smon: "I suspect they may be responsible for the disappearance of Artemisia (queen of the amazons) but in any case they are a terrible danger to us all. From their lair west of the mountains they seek to enslave all Altanis."
Sandor Sunneson: I'm not sure if there is further info we need from him though, what you think Meda?
genghisdon: (lol, so the amazion queen is misisng!0
Smon: Meda: "Thank you Sandor. Yes, we have one of their men."
genghisdon: "I would like to take the measure of these necromancers..may I "speak" with the prisoner?"
Sandor Sunneson: Can't see why not,
Smon: Meda: "Most of their soldiers are not evil... just misguided. The Necromancer, Boritt Crowfinger, has warped the Nerathi towards Evil."
Smon: Meda nods. "As you wish."
genghisdon: is there anything pertinent to ask?
Smon: Meda: "The Black Sun in the Delve are led by Fion Cormarrin, a Princess of Neo-Nerath and sister to high prince Halvath. She is a powerful Mage, as we found to our cost. Three brave warriors were lost."
Sandor Sunneson: He basically gave us an idea of numbers of what was down in the Delves
chris107: "Goolies on the anvil. That always get's 'em sining like canaries!"
genghisdon: "i was thinking about bringing the heat to this cold necromacer, myself"
Smon: Meda: "We destroyed their camp and the lower entrance to the Delve, but they will likely have found their way to the upper levels by now."
Smon: Clenderi: "The goblins may slow them down, at least."
chris107: "Is there another way in?"
chris107: "We could trap 'em like rats!"
genghisdon: and smoke them out?
Sandor Sunneson: So to the Delves we head then?
Smon: Clenderi: "There are two higher entrances, to the topmost level."
chris107: "Then beat the living shit out of 'em!"
Sandor Sunneson: Should we have a plan of attack when we do combat them?
genghisdon: (ah well, in interest of faster play/action, we can skip the prisoner)
Smon: Clenderi: "Lady Meda must not enter the Delve. If she is lost, then all is lost. Without her we are doomed."
Sandor Sunneson: There are 4 bodyguards and the Sorceress
chris107: "Aye we must keep the elders safe."
Sandor Sunneson: It is your country, you must make that decision and we will respect that
chris107: "Don't want ya breaking a nail now, do we?" He winks outrageously at the famous lady.
genghisdon: "my fire has been building & must be released soon, so by all means, give me somethign to burn"
Smon: Meda looks sadly at Ursa.
Sandor Sunneson: So we leave first thing in the morning or now?
Smon: Clenderi: "Do not disrespect the Lady, dwarf! She is worth a thousand of you!"
chris107: He polishes the edge of his axe on a well calloused thumb.
genghisdon: "why wait?" looking askew: "I'm sure the dwarf meant no affront"
Smon: Clenderi: "We leave at dawn - time to question the prisoner if you wish. I will lead the mission."
chris107: "Take it easy! The Slayer told me of Lady Meda's worth. I but jest to make the coming task the lighter for us all."
Smon: Clenderi nods to Gracyone. "Of course."
genghisdon: "his people keep their few womenfolk "safely" ensconced, it is theri way"
Sandor Sunneson: We questioned him before the first failed attempt, I'm sure he would reveal more to you Gracyone if you used some of your feminine charms
genghisdon: (hope using Tolein/AD&D dwarf info isn't way off here)
genghisdon: (so seduce &/or torture is back on the menu?)
Smon: (Wilderlands dwarfs are a mix of Tolkien & Wagner, yup)
genghisdon: "I'd be happy to do so"
Sandor Sunneson: he was a bit vague on the numbers of what is in the delve, not sure if he was playing games with me or being honest
genghisdon: "I am honestly curious what sort of men these are, in any case"
Smon: Clenderi: "I'll take you to him."
Smon: GM: Clenderi leads Gracyone down to the prison cells (anyone else coming?)
genghisdon: "excellent...the other males may enjoy the show"
chris107: Ursa will go
Sandor Sunneson: I'll follow
Smon: She unlocks a cell, opening the door. A young soldier lying against the far wall blinks in the torchlight.
genghisdon: (minor image) clothes of flame & light appear on Gracyone
Smon: Clenderi: "Principes Constantius, you have visitors!"
chris107: "Phewwwwww!"
Smon: The soldier gasps, scrambling to his feet.
Sandor Sunneson: Sandor will hang back
Smon: He shields his eyes against the fiery glare of the Sorceress.
Sandor Sunneson: and watch and learn
genghisdon: (i presume deception, insift & persuassion all suit seductive walk, etc?)
Smon: Gracyone can make a CHA+Prof intimidate check if you wish
genghisdon: insight
genghisdon: not looking to initimidate actually
genghisdon rolls 1d20+6 and gets: 14, (+6) = 20
chris107: Nice
genghisdon: tryign a different tack
Smon: He's very impressed, anyway.
genghisdon: (intimidate comes later, if needs be)
Smon: "wh-who are you?"
Smon: Clenderi takes a step back, glancing over at Sandor.
genghisdon: I am Gracyone, daughter of the phoenix"
Smon: "An amazon?"
genghisdon: "who are you?"
genghisdon: "I am born to the amazons & fire"
Sandor Sunneson: Sandor will go to Clenderi and chill beside her
Smon: "I am Principes Constantius of the Third Cohort. Seconded to Princess Cormarrin's personal detachment."
genghisdon: pouts
chris107: Ursa looks on, admiring the view.
Smon: Clenderi puts a hand on Sandor's arm as she watches the sorceress.
genghisdon: "I am told your people are seeking eteranl life through undeath & necromacy...that you are cold blooded, scarecly alive, is that true?"
Smon: "No."
Smon: He pauses.
genghisdon: "Oh? so what is it this black sun seeks then?"
Smon: "Do you want me to tell you of the Black Sun? It symbolises eternal rebirth - an endless Cycle of Return."
Sandor Sunneson: Sandor will say to her, thank you for everything you've done for me. We've got lots to talk about once this is over....
Smon: Constantius produces a piece of charcoal and sketches a crude circle on the cell wall.
chris107: Ursa spits
genghisdon: turns her back to him "there is a symbol of rebirth already, and it is not the black sun, but this:" the flames die down on her back, revealing the phoenix
Smon: "You see... like a snake eating its own tail, the Ouroborous. The cycle is endless."
genghisdon: "I coontian the fires of rebirth, I know of what I speak"
Smon: "Wow... the Phoenix! Yes, you understand!"
Smon: He seems excited.
genghisdon: let's see if he can get more excited...
Smon: Clenderi smiles flirtatiously at Sandor, twirling her dark hair.
Sandor Sunneson: Shall we leave them to it?
genghisdon: why do u think u need rebirth? are you not alive now? is your blood not hot? (flame clothes fadign away)
Smon: Constantius: "The Phoenix is a symbol of Erathis! The rebirth of Order from the ashes of Chaos!"
Sandor Sunneson: Sorry Clenderi, trying to be focused on the black sun and learn
genghisdon: "praise chaos!"
Smon: Constantius gulps. "I am quite hot.. it is not I, it is the rebirth of Civilisation...."
Smon: At her praise of Chaos he falls silent,
genghisdon: "are you certain? perhaps there has been a mistake made? an error in judgement?
Smon: "Chaos... Chaos is also a part of the Endless Cycle, as Zehir teaches."
genghisdon: "indeed"
Smon: Clenderi gives Sandor a moue.
Smon: "A mistake? What kind of mistake?"
genghisdon: provactive pose "we do not sound like we should be enemies at all, does it?"
Smon: He shakes his head, looking her up and down. "No..."
genghisdon: "no...so perhaps a mistake was made?"
Smon: "The Amazons serve Erathis, as do I."
genghisdon: (mage hand) careess him from a distance via "TK"
Smon: Constantius looks around, as if checking for someone.
Smon: "brr"
chris107: Remains silent and in the background.
Smon: "I... Nerath and Amazon should be on the same side... Skandik and Dwarf, too. The true enemies are the Altani. They slaughtered us, raped our women, took our land..."
genghisdon: "perhaps if you give me guideance, I could meet with your leaders, and end this mad conflict, even join forces then"
Smon: He nods. "P-perhaps... Princess Fion would be glad to meet you, I am sure."
genghisdon: "and I understand the need for revenge, it is hot too"
Sandor Sunneson: Sandor will put his arm round Clenderi and watch the conversation continue.....
genghisdon: "where can she be found?"
Smon: Clenderi puts an arm around Sandor's waist, whispering in his ear. "Tonight..."
genghisdon: (might help if i knew somethign more to ask about/help?)
Smon: Constantius: "I.. she is at Dyson's Delve, where I was captured."
genghisdon: It is a big place, do you know where?
chris107: (Ursa is a new character Don, doesn't know of Fion, her forces or the delves)
Smon: Gracyone looks around, sees two of her companions getting snuggly & obviously distracted.
genghisdon: or where she is going?
Sandor Sunneson: Why did she come to Dysons Delve in the first place?
genghisdon: (that's fine, she pays it no heed, probably helps, actually)
genghisdon: (project: we are all about the love)
Sandor Sunneson: What were you told about the place? What have you seen deep in the Delve??
Smon: "The legends - the great Nerathi Mage Dyson Logos sought the Heart of Elemental Chaos, carved the Delve. Fion believes it can be found, probably in the lower levels."
chris107: (Nothing very romantic about Ursa and his axe )
genghisdon: (very manly chris!)
genghisdon: can i make an arcan or religion check?
Smon: "I have seen... " Constantius sees Clenderi whispering to Sandor, and gulps.
genghisdon rolls 1d20+2 and gets: 8, (+2) = 10
genghisdon: "go on, looking all excited, what did u see?"
Sandor Sunneson: finish the sentece?
Smon: THE CRYPTS OF ST ULTHER (DYSON'S DELVE) The ruined Shrine of Saint Ulther the Lighthousekeeper, sacred to both Ghinoran and Nerathi, stands atop a cliff spur eight miles southwest from Selatine, and three miles north of Oriax's Tower (the Lighthouse), where the cliffs lower to below 50'. A deep and lightless gorge cloaked in brambles runs to the east of the cliffs, and there is rumoured to be an entrance to the deep tunnels there, but the southern approach is easy via either a cave at the base of the cliffs, or a trail up from a spot just east of the cave mouth to the clifftop shrine above, where a spiral stair leads down into the crypts. St Ulther's own tomb lies on the first level, still sealed after perhaps four centuries (ca 4050 BCCC). Ulther is said to have been a Cleric of the Lord of Light - Pelor, Apollo, and/or Mitra, depending on who you listen to. He lived during the Glory of Nerath. Legend has it that he restored the functioning of the ancient Lighthouse, that is now the Tower of Oriax. It still shines today, and over the centuries since has doubtless saved hundreds of ships from the deadly reefs offshore. There are said to be extensive dungeons beneath the Crypts, known as Dyson's Delve after the mad Nerathi Archmage Dyson Logos, supposedly one of the legendary Founders of Nerath (ca 3700 BCCC). Before his madness Dyson aided Magroth, First King of Nerath, to slay the ancient gold dragon Ayunken-vanzen, to found the City of Nera, and to Light the Flame Imperishable on the highest rampart of Nera's royal palace. It is said that Dyson's fire magics were also instrumental in Nerath's early victories over the Deathwalker death-cultists of Thracia, who once ravaged the Ghinarian hills, taking countless sacrifices for their dark god. The Archmage and the Army of Nerath combined with the Ghinarians to drive the Deathwalkers from their surface holdings, down into the darkness beneath the ruined city (3720, est.). In later years Dyson is said to have grown crazed, and to have created the tunnels of the Delve in his quest for a power node that myth calls the Heart of Elemental Chaos (3750, est.). It is unknown if he ever succeeded, or what ultimately became of him.
Smon: Is what you know.
chris107: Too big for my screen
Sandor Sunneson: shall I email it to you Chris?
chris107: Ah! I know that stuff
Smon: It's from the blog.
chris107: It's okay thanks. I got htat stuff.
genghisdon: need a sec
Smon: "I have seen rats that turn into men... reptile-men... goblins..."
Sandor Sunneson: and what is the plan with the goblins?
Sandor Sunneson: and reptile men? assuming the reptile men and goblins are not the same....
Smon: "The goblins are trash, infesting the upper levels, of little account. "
chris107: "He's got that right at least." Whispers Ursa under his breath
Smon: "Fion believes that either the Wererat or Reptile-man King may possess the Heart of Chaos. But the reptilemen have a dragon... we were proceeding cautiously."
chris107: Ursa's ears prick up at the mention of a Dragon. Dragons have treasure. Lots of treasure..
Smon: "There are also ancient... things... from the time of the Dragon Lords. Four-armed skeletons that turn aside blades and fight like demons..."
Smon: "I... I'm sorry, I do not know much more. I was assigned to the upper levels, to guard against the goblins and such. Ghouls."
Smon: brb
chris107: (Good going on all that intel Don)
chris107: (We learned a lot)
Smon: Clenderi nuzzles Sandor's cheek, then looks over to Gracyone. "Is that all?"
chris107: (It looks like we must fight down as Princess Fion fights her way up.)
genghisdon: (sorry, phone call, good news)
Sandor Sunneson: yes, and then deal with the other stuff as stage 2
chris107: (Good news? )
Sandor Sunneson: Your MU has a phone??
Sandor Sunneson:
genghisdon: (bike is welded, on it's way back, i can piut back together after the game)
Sandor Sunneson: cool
chris107: (Nice)
genghisdon: (glad this helped, anyway!)
chris107: (So we go kick some ass now?)
genghisdon: (burn it, but yes, unless he can get us a map)
genghisdon: "thanks for your help, hopefully we can bring all this conflict to a good end"
genghisdon: (and this heart be mine!)
genghisdon: (wait)
genghisdon: "where does the princess think the heart is, specifically?'
genghisdon: "if you know..."
genghisdon: (we think down is the way for us? ok)
chris107: (Yup)
Smon: "I don't know - on the lowest levels, I think. I heard a rumour..."
genghisdon: might as well finish him off with mage hand, as a kindness...then we are off
Sandor Sunneson: How deep down in the Delve did you and your comrades get too?
Sandor Sunneson: Level 8? or 9?
genghisdon: "ohm i love romours..go on"
Smon: "...That she believes beneath all the levels of the Delve lies a darkling lake, or sea. There, perhaps."
chris107: Interesting...
genghisdon: (i was thinkign of sea witch, ah well)
Smon: "We entered on level 7. There are more below... many more, I think."
Sandor Sunneson: Thank you......
genghisdon: (nice L1 power of water breath & swim)
chris107: (Nice)
Smon: "We have secured - partially - 6 & 7. I was guarding on the 5th level."
genghisdon: (well i went phoenix/fire instead)(
chris107: (OOC 5th was the lowest we got)
Smon: "Below 8... the monsters... there are wights, ogres, jellies - and then the rat-men and the trogs..."
genghisdon: (u & they did 1-4 then? OOC)
Smon: yup
chris107: (Bypassed much of 3 or 4 as they were Goblins)
genghisdon: I look forward to them tasting the flames of purification
Sandor Sunneson: Ok, we head to the Delve tomorrow, they are sort of befriended with me, don't ask.
genghisdon: ok, although why not leave now?
chris107: "Bah! Goblinz?!"
genghisdon: eh, nevermind, you have business
Sandor Sunneson: If you want, we can go
Sandor Sunneson: we have evil to crush
chris107: Ursa is eager to spill blood
genghisdon: I & the dwarf are eager for action
Sandor Sunneson: I am eager to avenge the death of my former comrades
Smon: Clenderi: "We should go at dawn.. When we are fresh." She says solemnly.
genghisdon: "poor sods, I heard you gave them to the flames, at least...their spirits will fly free & return to the world someday"
chris107: Hehe
Smon: "The Endless Cycle of Return" says Constantius.
genghisdon: (1 already has, right chris?0
genghisdon: "indeed" (why are we against these guys?)
chris107: (Campaign history)
Sandor Sunneson: (ask Chris, cos they are naughty)
Smon: Clenderi glances over at the prisoner. "Let us leave and rest now. The hour grows late."
chris107: (And they are wicked necromancers)
Sandor Sunneson: (I like the use of brackets)
genghisdon: not to waste time, but I'll lecture him on hoe undeath breaks the cycle, is awful, etc
genghisdon: since I've been told they are necromancers, etc
Sandor Sunneson: Ok, we shall meet in the morning, Sandor says adieu to Constantus.
genghisdon: (big disconnect somewhere in their philosophy, might be able to exploiut that some way)
Smon: Clenderi: "You talk to him then Gracyone. Call the guard when you are finished." She leaves Gracyone to lecture Constantius and leaves, locking her in.
Sandor Sunneson: Nice meeting you two, I look forward to oour new adventures4
genghisdon: "you as well! in the morning then!"
Smon: GM: The soldier listens to Gracyone for some time... roll CHA+Prof
Sandor Sunneson: Sandor will leave too, and escort Clenderi back to her chamber
genghisdon rolls 1d20+6 and gets: 13, (+6) = 19
genghisdon: (have religion too, if it matters)
Smon: Clenderi gives Sandor her come-hither look... https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEir1HwCjxwlJSb7vI1GFk-5l8u7lCRqVeRXtSdxbpmdoK9LcygBJSHvuPSHIkyGeVEIxUd4ScGZs2duqvHqKuPuUgdgRC8BdS9oETfmPxP5PdcfBzwjRwLLQUaDupHiysNBXAV2aCxdRYM/s1600/Clenderi+the+Amazon.jpg *fade to black*
genghisdon: nice night!
Sandor Sunneson: (that is her 'dress-wear')
genghisdon: (yes, she is quite covered up!)
Smon: Constantius: "Milady, I believe what you say. But after Bisgen, we had no choice but to follow the path set by Prince Crowfinger... It was he who gave us victory over the Altani, after their Champion Varek slew Prince Halvath, slew Lady Lucinda, after the Tigerclaw destroyed our lands, killed the men and raped the women..."
genghisdon: even if he goes against rebirth & all you know is right? that makes no sense, it is a path to doom
Smon: "...The Priests teach us that we must have Faith, that it is all part of the endless cycle. That the Necromancers of Zehir and the Paladins of Erathis must join together to restore the Light of Nerath - the Flame Imperishable."
genghisdon: (wish i know the gods better...can i take 10=12 on those?)
Smon: He looks uncertain. "To be a Risen Hero - War Dead - is just a temporary thing. Soon one returns, to sleep again..."
chris107: Erathis is their twisted Athena
chris107: Zehir -Set
genghisdon:
Smon: Zehir is the snake god associated with wealth, treachery, merchants, assassins and the Ouroboros. Basically Set.
Smon: Erathis is their goddess of Civilisation, = Athena.
genghisdon: "undeath is to leave the cycle, never to return, the worst of all fates..shakes her head
genghisdon: got it, thnz
Smon: He frowns. "Why do you say this?"
genghisdon: "because it is true...perhaps someday u can save soem of your people from damnation"
genghisdon: (or am i lying unintentionally here?)
Smon: "Once... Once the Light of Nerath is restored, the War Dead will not be needed. But we are so few... We must return to fill the ranks."
chris107: (Easy option is they are bad/wrong. We are good/right)
Smon: (no one really knows about the afterlife in this universe)
genghisdon: "there is never a cause worthy of using "war dead"
genghisdon: (trying to get him to see that chris)
chris107: (That's what an axe is for)
genghisdon: "those war dead will NEVER return to your people"
Smon: He shrugs. "It is not my choice. In any case, few have risen since the Black Sun Gate was closed by our enemies."
genghisdon: "they would have, in time, if not for the necromacers"
chris107: (By enemies he means our PC's)
Smon: OK make another CHA check.
Smon: DC 15
genghisdon rolls 1d20+6 and gets: 18, (+6) = 24
Smon: NICE
chris107: Very nice Don!
Sandor Sunneson:
Smon: Constantius goes pale.
Smon: "If... if what you say is true..."
chris107: She is a charmer
genghisdon: "it is.."
Smon: "Then they must be stopped."
Smon: He looks down, then up at Gracyone.
genghisdon: "indeed...you are man enough to see you are wrong, are u also man enough to see it done?"
Smon: "The Princess... Fion... She saw Varek murder her mother, before her own eyes. She has much reason to hate."
Smon: OOC Varek also a PC - I told him executing those prisoners would come back around...
genghisdon: "hate can blind one, or even corupt them, in time, if it festers"
Smon: He nods.
chris107:
Smon: "There are many who believe... who believe that there should be Peace. That the Necromancers should not rule. Even High Prince Halvath, Fion's brother... "
genghisdon: "perhaps you could carry word to the high prince? begin to build a bridge to peace & life?'
Smon: "...But there has been so much blood. The Altani will destroy us, if we do not destroy them. Their leader, Hakeem, is a monster - thirty feet tall... lightning flashes from his eyes to burn away whole Centuries of men... only the Necromancers can protect us..."
chris107:
genghisdon: (uh, what, if anything do i know about that?)
Smon: "I do not know if Halvath would grant me an audience... And I think even he fears Boritt Crowfinger, the Arch-Necromancer."
chris107: (I am pleased at Hakeem's reputation among the Black Sun)
Smon: (Let's say you're from the Sea Rune amazons. You have heard tell of Hakeem, war chief of the Altanian tribes)
genghisdon: (i mean, do the Altaninans attacks them for no reason, etc?)
chris107: (And my main PC )
Smon: "But if you could speak to Princess Fion... Boritt has trained her, but she is not evil... I think..."
genghisdon: "perhaps, then you would accompany us?"
Smon: (You know Altanians love fighting & raiding, but they used to live in peace with the Nerathi, long ago)
Smon: History check - INT
Smon: DC 8
genghisdon: don;t have it, so INT?
Smon: can add prof
genghisdon rolls 1d20 and gets: 2,
genghisdon: noper
Smon: There was a big war long ago that destroyed Nerath, lots of gnolls, Nerath had Altani auxiliaries back then
Smon: That's all you remember
genghisdon: no prob
Smon: "I... I am afraid. But I will come with you."
Sandor Sunneson: (that's good, give him a hug)
Smon: OOC this is the same guy who rolled a 1v vs Amir's fear attack.
genghisdon: "good, fear is nothing to be ashamed of, only lettign fear stop you from doing what one wants to"
chris107:
Sandor Sunneson: (he needs a hug)
Smon: (Sandor has Clenderi undressed & is too busy w rumpy pumpy to give advice)
genghisdon: give him his hug
genghisdon: and call the guards to let us out
Smon: A stout amazon jailor unlocks the door and escorts you out.
genghisdon: trying to move us along, but I'll see about explainign to leadership abotu al lthis, and rearming him, etc
genghisdon: persuade required?
chris107: "They murdered all my kin you know? Lady of the Pheonix. Turned 'em all into murdering zombies. Nice folks your new friends..." Ursa stomps off to find a chair near a fire to sleep in.
Smon: Gracyone reports to Lady Meda in the briefing room upstairs, who listens attentively, ignoring the sounds of lovemaking from Clenderi's room next door.
Smon: Meda nods to Ursa's retreating back.
Smon: "The Black Sun have wrought much woe."
genghisdon: to the dwarf: "he sees his mistakes, and seeks to make redress now, what more can one do?'
chris107: "Die..."
Smon: Meda: "I do not think it wise to arm the Nerathi soldier. He changed heart once - he may do so again."
chris107: The snores are soon raising the roof.
genghisdon: (that too, if that was what was desired, shoulda said so, I wouldn't have cared)
genghisdon: look at him (insight) is that true? you'd turn on me like that?
chris107: (It's nice to see a fresh approach Don, don't mind me. Just been in character )
Smon: Meda: "Do you really wish to seek an audience with Fion Cormarrin? You may not return."
Smon: OOC you're upstairs now, soldier downstairs
genghisdon: "you don;t think it's worth trying? we may not return from either choice?
Smon: Meda frowns slightly as Clenderi emits some particularly ecstatic moans. Meda: "It is your choice, Gracyone. To walk into the Lion's den... You are braver than I."
genghisdon: we can simply have him along to give credence to out peaceful desire at worst, and do the same plan
genghisdon: (I'm not gettign something, isn't see AT the place we are going?)
genghisdon: she
genghisdon: "I can always light her on fire if things go south"
chris107: (She is, hopefully much deeper down)
Smon: Meda nods. "Very well. Mycr preaches peace, and I have tried to follow his path, though I am a poor servant. You are right. "
Sandor Sunneson: she should be
Smon: OOC Meda is concerned you'll be surrounded by angry Nerathi & cut to shreds/blasted with sorcery.
chris107: (They have not been known for their gentle natures in the past)
genghisdon: (this dude will probably get ate by a ghoul long before we find the princess anyway, but nekkid sorceress needs a meat shield!)
Sandor Sunneson: lol
chris107: (Cool with me Don)
Sandor Sunneson: (good thinking)
Smon: Meda: "Sleep now. I will see you in the morning, brave one."
genghisdon: "good night, lady"
chris107: The snoring continues until dawn.
genghisdon: I'll go build some loyalty into the ex prisoner
Sandor Sunneson: I can play till 2230GMT
Smon: Meda has Gracyone escorted to a comfortable guest chamber for the night, while Ursa sleeps in a warm corner, and Sandor doesn't get much sleep.
genghisdon: morning?
Smon: OOC yes stopping at 10.30
Sandor Sunneson: 25 minutes Don
Smon: >>I'll go build some loyalty into the ex prisoner<< how?
genghisdon: (soorry if i wastred time guys)
Smon: (I love the talky stuff)
genghisdon: figure it out?
Sandor Sunneson: No, found it interesting, something different
genghisdon: I'd rather not go there
chris107: (No such thing Don, good to have you on board and we've learned a lot)
genghisdon: well i REALLY wana burn something, so mornign please
Sandor Sunneson: exactly, all the Wilderlands problems solved by chat with a hot drink and cake all round
Smon: Did you want to (a) sleep (b) seduce the prisoner (c) lecture him on philosophy ...?
genghisdon: might be, actually
Sandor Sunneson: Yorkshire Tea for the Dward Chris
genghisdon: seduce
chris107: Ursa is not a tea drinker.
Smon: ok, you return to the cell.. he looks up in surprise... DC 10 CHA+Prof check please

Smon: You gird on your weapons and assemble in the courtyard.
genghisdon: (prestig) lets off fireworks
Sandor Sunneson: All action in the brick erection
Smon: Ursa is fresh as a daisy while the others yawn, sleepy-eyed.
genghisdon: can i presuade these folks to arm him?
Smon: Well the Tower of Oriax has a reputation to maintain.

genghisdon rolls 1d20+6 and gets: 8, (+6) = 14
genghisdon: (+2 prof b always, yes?)
chris107: (Yes)
Smon: Clenderi sighs. "He's the one held a knife to Priestess Vex's throat, threatened to kill her... But if you believe he can be trusted, very well."
genghisdon: (can i make an insight on him? from what uy type I'd say yes, but can't hurt to confirm in game)
genghisdon rolls 1d20+4 and gets: 1, (+4) = 5
genghisdon: ah well
Smon: Meda: "May Mycr go with you all. If you can speak to Fion, ask her to come meet with me, that we may discuss peace."
genghisdon: gotta grab my bike, carry on
Smon: Constantius looks like a happy bunny as he girds on his armour and weapons.
Smon: The amazons bid you farewell and open the courtyard gate.
chris107: Ursa will watch him like a hungry bear.
Smon: The three of you trek out of the gate, Clenderi in the lead, Constantius sticking close to Gracyone.
Sandor Sunneson: Sandor will give Clenderi a big hug and looks forward to seeing her again soon
Sandor Sunneson: she's coming, cool
