6:04pm  2017-4-14 Smon Has entered the room
genghisdon: hi Simon
6:04pm  2017-4-14 chris107 Has entered the room

Smon: GM: OK. The mornning after the night before, Ursa and Gracyone are up late, having breakfast at the Sun & Stars served by Shaele the half-elf barmaid. No sign of Sandor, who was up even later than you two last night. As you tuck into egg & beans a brassy blonde amazon comes over to your table. "Mind if join you? I'm Tania, a Scout here."
genghisdon:   LE boo!
chris107: And with Gracyone's Haste he's pretty good at it!
genghisdon: "not at all, break your fast with us, Tania"
genghisdon: "you know of us?"
chris107: hehe nice story via the emoticons there Don
chris107: "Aye, sit down lass."
genghisdon: (what Gracy plans to do, light them up!)
Smon: "Thanks." Tania takes a stool, calls for some beer, eggs & beans.
Smon: Tania: "The place you rescued Davos and Buedra from a couple days back - caves, up in the high hills east of here?"
chris107: "Aye?"
*genghisdon blank look*
chris107: It was the session Gracy was absent Don.
genghisdon: (i know, just "role playin)
chris107: Sandor and I tracked down some bandits who had taken captives from Thusia
chris107: ah, okay
genghisdon: "fine work on that you two did"
Smon: "A little while back I was scouting the area south of the trail, came across a sinkhole with an old rope going down. It reminded me of a story - the old Weaponmaster of Sceros went missing years ago, said he'd found a cave and was going to clear out the spiders... Did you see any spiders?"
*genghisdon shudders*
chris107: "Now that you mention it, in the large entrance cave there were thick webs. A ravine leading over to an old statue.."
chris107: "We wondered what may be across there but our Gracy had the floating slippers and wasn't with us."
chris107: "What do we know of this ancient weaponmaster?"
genghisdon: ( I NEVER wanted the slippers, but last tiem I say it, wil ltake them & shut up for now on)
chris107: (If you don't ant them Don, I'm happy to take them)
*genghisdon notices she wears slippers now, rather than sandlas...shrugs*
Smon: Tania nods. "There are lots of stories about those caves - that bugbears live there and creep out at night. That there's a moss emerald in a grotto that has magic powers over plants...and the spiders. I was thinking of going to check it out again, if you'd fancy coming along?"
chris107: "Now that sounds like fun!"
chris107: "What you think Gracy? Go squish some big ol' spiders?"
genghisdon: insight check on her, is she being honest/open?
genghisdon rolls 1d20+5 and gets: 15, (+5) = 20
chris107: "Whilst Sandor snores off his hang over?"
Smon: Tania: "Old Bill was Lord Arkonos of Sceros' first weaponmaster. A Tharbrian I'd guess. They say he helped Meda defeat the hobgoblins and bugbears used to prey on people around these parts."
Smon: She seems honest.
genghisdon: "indeed, let us do it!"
chris107: Ursa imagines what it will be like been able to talk to vegetables.
genghisdon: "Tania, can u handle yourself in a fight?"
genghisdon: so does Gracy, them being wonderful eaters of the sun she REALLY wants to do so
chris107: Does she have a bow?
Smon: Tania grins. "Reckon so. I've fought alongside Hakeem and Thuruar. I'm handy with a bow."
chris107: "Why then we should be safe with you around my girl!" Laughs Ursa good naturedly
genghisdon: "then by all means, let us set out & reclaim this magic gem & burn out this foul den of evil"
genghisdon: hee hee
Smon: Tania the amazon - https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgm0776biI2-j2RHC0rsCBlET9FJivn5rnC4JWvC4qQaz3cR8rI3Nc_KW3ZQFUAJVkwiHfHMkgiaZm895fflVSZ5kJVmWzvzOVMhVCE9uHokgRErmXsSMpDs6nh5H-whsgJJjTCjIurJ5I/s400/Tania04.jpg - she likes blue string.
chris107: haha
chris107: "Will we need rope?"
chris107: "I think we should take rope."
Smon: Tania looks down at Ursa, twitches her nose. "I'll try to keep you safe Mr Ursa. Wouldn't want Buedra's new boyfriend coming to any harm."
genghisdon: very nice, Gracy may need to "work" with her!
chris107: And Ursa would like to hang a couple more hand axes from his belt
Smon: Tania nods: "I'll bring rope."
genghisdon: (talking of mamalries last game, yowsa!)
genghisdon: "I've going these new walkin boots, I'll be ok"
Smon: GM: Half an hour later you assemble at the gate with your equipment, Tania has her longbow, a sword, and 50' of hemp rope with grapple in a pack.
chris107: (with the magical bracers the axes are now doing d6+5 when thrown, worth having)
genghisdon: (if simon likes, it is bows BTB)
Smon: The amazon guards at the gate are gossiping: "Did you hear they found that dwarf spent the night in Priestess Amanda's bed?!"
genghisdon: "let us buy a few anti toxins before settign out"
chris107: (He has told us many times it is for any ranged attack)
Smon: The amazon axewomen look over at Ursa curiously. "That dwarf?!" "No, the other one!"
genghisdon: (yep! throw them axes!)
chris107: Ursa looks pleased to be noticed by pretty ladies.
genghisdon: 50 gp each? do i have $
chris107: Must have been that bath he had last Summer
genghisdon: heh
genghisdon: do i need to "attune" the boots Simon? how do i do that?
Smon: GM: Asking around didn't turn up any anti-toxin for sale, though Meda promised to make you some. But Lady Anna Bronze of Hara does have some Keoghtom's ointment in a jar she's willing to sell for 100gp (2 doses) - it heals & cures poison.
Smon: You attune by wearing item for a short rest (1 hr).
genghisdon: nevermind, i do not
genghisdon: oops, yes i do
genghisdon: BOOTS OF LEVITATION Wondrous item, rare (requires attunement) While you wear these boots, you can use an action to cast the levitate spell on yourself at will.
chris107: They may be handy for crossing the ravine or getting down the sink hole?
genghisdon: take the keoghtums & gladly
genghisdon: i have some group T wrote, use it?
Smon: Amazon guard - https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiewSTIJy1Mo2A1ixCf4csViUNIK72bt_KDgbDPtrtm3a_rVtz9S21tJhQZHtyq5JwvBcG8P4pF5Pdf17woG9vEveYQWFUCqtFGSc4_-AfpDlpRbd83PnQOAlQa0kNpPRcXefDudmL8Je_5/s320/amazon01.jpg
chris107: Yes Don, may as well.
genghisdon: ok
Smon: GM: The three of you head out the gate, heading east on the trail to Sceros winding up through the hills.
Smon: /roll d8
Smon rolls 1d8 and gets: 4,
genghisdon: "thanks you, lady bronze!"
chris107: Ursa leaves all his many mundane treaures with Lady Malenn for safe keeping.
chris107: Ursa whistles a happy tune. Glad to be away from politics.
genghisdon: i presume Tania could use mage armor?
Smon: It's raining, but not too heavily, just a steady downpour that soaks Ursa's beard and splashes off the lithe forms of the amazons.
Smon: Yes mage armour would raise her AC +2 looks like.
genghisdon: cast mage armor on myself, then "Tania, would you like a spell that mimmics weightless armor?'
genghisdon: cast mage armor on her too then
genghisdon:

genghisdon: that would let me test my latest spell though...
Smon: (does it ever roll below 6?) Suddenly you hear a scream from around the next bend on the wooded track and then a dark-haired loin-cloth girl appears, sprinting towards you for her life! Gracyone just has time to appreciate the look of her bouncing breasts before several large hairy humanoid forms appear behind her on the road, closing rapidly!
genghisdon: what happens while my attention is on the touch spell/boobs?
genghisdon: "get behind us, girl!"

genghisdon: a beauty, reminds me of DeniseRichards
chris107: The merchant's daughter!

genghisdon:
Smon: As the girl gets dazed to her feet you hear frantic bugbear barking from the trees, answered by several more further down the track.
chris107: "Are we far from the sinkhole?"
genghisdon: "From up around me, I'll speed up up!"
chris107: to Tania
genghisdon: us up
Smon: Gracyone gets the lovely wench to her feet, she clutches at the Amazon. "My father! They attacked our wagon!"
chris107: "Where?"
genghisdon: we will rescue him
genghisdon: (does Tania come up/Ursa?)
Smon: Tania comes runnning up with her bow, smirking slightly at the sight of the wet and muddy wench pressed against Gracyone's lithe form.
chris107: Ursa does
genghisdon: once both get within 30' of me, let me know please
chris107: Ursa loses his rage if there are no targets this round?
Smon: "I'm Kym, my father Gluck - the wagon - back there!"

genghisdon: "GO!"
Smon: She points down the trail she just came from.
genghisdon: on the

chris107: Throwing axe in one hand, Grond in the other
genghisdon: concentrating on the spell
Smon: GM: Tania nods to Gracyone, she and Ursa speed off down the trail.
genghisdon: "after, Tania, go shoot some bugbears now!"
chris107: If need be he will use a second rage when his enemies come in sight
genghisdon: I lead the girl after them, quickly, but not like them
genghisdon: (u are speed 70 now, melee is easy to reach indeed)
chris107: (Yum, Cadbury's Flake)

genghisdon: (damn, forgot to laugh like a madwoman earlier!)
chris107: hehe
genghisdon: double speed, +2 AC, and one extra action (attack, dash, hide, etc)
Smon: About 400' of hasted sprinting down the trail (Tania at 120'/round, Ursa at 140' so ca 3 rounds) they come over a slight rise and see a dell below, a toppled merchant wagon just off the trail, an enormous dead beast of burden laden with paniers lying in front of it with many javelins sticking out of it.
chris107: thanks
genghisdon: no prob
chris107: Ursa charges, Raging when within range.

genghisdon: can't he rage/charge as a normal action?
Smon: ok it's NOT a bonus action from Haste, but you are limited to what it says.
genghisdon: Choose a willing creature that you can see within range. Until the spell ends, the target's speed is doubled, it gains a +2 bonus to AC, it has advantage on Dexterity saving throws, and it gains an additional action on each of its turns. That aclion can be used only lo lake the Attack (one weapon attack only), Dash, Disengage, Hide, or Use an Object aclion. When lhe spell ends, the target can't move or take actions until after its next turn, as a wave of lelhargy sweeps over it.
Smon: You can (a) lift cart as your action (b) rage as bonus action (c) move and make 1 hasted attack
genghisdon: cool

genghisdon: (seemed very dead when u arived on scene)
chris107: (Would our potions help the creature?)
Smon: GM: I'm assuming you didn't try to SR at the battlefield, or you'd be dead by now)

chris107: (hehe I assumed we had  )

Smon: "...Smoked meats, salted fish from Clear Meadows, the finest provender..."
chris107: Ursa looks crest fallen at this dreadful news
genghisdon: "well, we think we know their lair, so while you make arangements, we will seek to recover some of your wares"
chris107: "I'm devestated."
Smon: Gluck nods. "Here friends, let me reward you with a little coin for your efforts. Without you we'd most likely be in a bugbear pot!"

Smon: Tania takes her coin: "Cheers Gluck, that'll pay for some ointment. No where's that priestess with the cure spells..."
chris107: "Happy to save you and your charming daughter from the pot."
genghisdon: "yes, if u feel the need, pay us once your profits & business have recovered"
chris107: (and raise our stock in Thusia)
genghisdon: (heh, smart call, but there was no more to buy yesturday)
Smon: She waves you goodbye and makes for the shrine of Mycr on the edge of the village green. Gluck nods to Ursa & Gracyone. "As you will. Good prices, yes!" He chuckles. "I'll do you a good deal."
genghisdon: (he i rolled a d2 chris, random, not good)
Smon: "As will I!" says Kym, eyes twinkling.

Smon: Kym definitely has eyes for Gracyone!
genghisdon: ha! I'll keep it in mind, but Gracyone meant to see about soothing Tania's hurts this night!
Smon: So probably would Tania if she weren't more interested in poultices right now.
genghisdon: well, we go after her, Ursa needs some
chris107: "I'm fine, it isbut a flesh wound."
chris107: "And there's a cart full of aleout there!"
genghisdon: "looked like you were beaten with meat tnderisers for an hour to me, Ursa, let's rest up "
Smon: GM: Ursa & Gracyone catch up with Tania in the little new-built wooden shrine of Mycr, where the improbably endowed young redhead priestess Amanda is applying soothing unguent to Tania's torso.
chris107: "We Dwarves do not damage as easily as the squishier races Gracy." He says primly
genghisdon: "they can't drink it all in a day, they are mere goblinoids"
genghisdon: "indeed, a man would be DEAD, you are made of stone & iron!"
chris107: He seems very pleased with the compliment.
genghisdon: "this lovely preistss, though, can reforge that iron"
Smon: Tania: "Ouch...thanks Amanda... So, you and Kogor the Dwarf, eh ...?" The young priestess lowers her eyes, blushing furiously as she applies wrappings to Tania's sternum.
Smon: Tania: "ouch... little rough, there!"
chris107: "Well if she mustlay hands on me. Who am I to argue?"
chris107: hehe
Smon: Amanda & Tania look up as you enter.
genghisdon:
genghisdon: "hi amanda, tania"
Smon: Amanda - https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhDKilNqeTxAyzy76ytt1p94p53IlIePhNmMvIQ6_S2EIhTu2dCIp9KLUzJZN8TW0Tz13Hx8MtdtC8Wy5jdYBZRgufmWj_5OqRq3AQ8RFkM3GpWPibQGO99KMsieJVjWxfYwsSCgOS9jo/s320/1433392692807.jpg - looks very tired, presumably from her night of dwarven lovemaking.
chris107: Ursa nods in a friendly manner.
genghisdon: the jugs just get bigger...
Smon: Amanda: "Hello Miss Gracyone... Sir Ursa?"
Smon: https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_IZ3UmA_KkBH06J4GRfeIxZ2AE8rvBY7Pf_JLhrpwF8uZcWbySsgZSrfWZNOnSmUfhbK9S21cNawvj8ZoSh7k246fUmgpRx9_UxZWXK3XV_9JMqUIcysltAgjnDSLCqnWZNZ5NMqVlzc/s320/Buedra.png

chris107: "Hehe, hell will freeze over before they Knight me Amanda, please just call me Ursa."
Smon: "Do you require solace?"
chris107: "Gracy?"
genghisdon: "Sir Ursa seems to have taken a few bumps & scratches & is in need a a massage & ointments, perhaps you could aid him once Tania is tended to?"
Smon: Amanda reddens. "I'm sorry sir... I mean, Mr Ursa."
Smon: "Certainly!" she brightens. "Tania is nearly tended to."
genghisdon: "heh, thank me later, Ursa"
chris107: "Excellent, these few scratches may benefit from your tender touch."
Smon: Tania: "Aye, feels much better... See you later, Ursa. Gracy." She winks at Gracyone and strides out, a bit of a spring in her step once more. Amanda inspects Ursa's wounds, tut-tutting thoughtfully.
Smon: "May the Grace of Mycr the True God be upon you..."
genghisdon: "see you later Ursa, thanks Amanda"

chris107: Recover his rages too.
genghisdon: only need 1 HD, but spells are good
genghisdon: ah, hoped we'd get a 2nd shot at the cave, but next time then
chris107: We got a good session in, longer than I was expecting
chris107: Yeah, the cave and bones of weaponmaster Old Bill will wait
genghisdon: next game is tenativelt wednessday then?
chris107: 2 Wilderlands a week is an absalute bonus!
chris107: Tuesday I thought?
Smon: You repair to the Sun & Stars, soon joined by Tania, to regale the crowd with tale of today's adventure. From upstairs you hear the creaking of Sandor & Jana's lovemaking, and eventually Ursa repairs with Buedra (if he's not too sore), Gracyone gets a wink from Tania & goes up with her too.
