6:02pm 2017-5-10 Smon Has entered the room
Smon: Hi chris
chris107: Evening Simon
chris107: Sneaking into Selatine tonight?
6:03pm 2017-5-10 genghisdon Has entered the room
chris107: Hi Don
genghisdon: hi guys
chris107: Fergus not coming until late so it's up to us.
genghisdon: ok, i saw, sounded like maybe, but you & I can kick some ass!
chris107: We can!
genghisdon: Simon?
Smon: (sorry just been arguing on the Internet with someone convinced elephants are 20' long - plus trunk)
Smon: (finished now)
genghisdon: oh
chris107: hmmm
genghisdon: (20' long sounds averagge for African btw)
genghisdon: not a topic to argue, though, as if one counts extinct species, one sees elephants of a great variety of sizes (even shapes)
genghisdon: anyway...
Smon: (They're 13' tall tops - look at them & you'll see they are taller than long, and certainly not 4 people long!) Did Fergus give an ETA?
genghisdon: nope
chris107: 9ish
genghisdon: (uh, sorry Simon, but your internet foe was more correct, assuming African, which height you picked at 13' )
genghisdon: but lets play D&D!
Smon:
Smon: Yeah I am going to withdraw my comment although I still don't think they're 20' long...
genghisdon: (can be longer, actually, that is average I beleive)
genghisdon: (sorry)
chris107: Ursa will chop up anything tht gets in our way.
Smon: GM: OK you come down out of the rain-sodden hills after 4 days riding.
Smon: /roll d6
genghisdon: even elephants, mastodons & mammoths!
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets: 2,
Smon: Are you spending the night at Oriax Tower?
genghisdon: (? up to u chris)(
chris107: I think it may be best to creep in during the day?
Smon: You pass through the narrow gorge that leads down from the hills onto the coastal plain west of the tower.
genghisdon: Simon: refresh me on which NPC's are with us right now please?
Smon: The tower looms ahead on the coast, with the cliffs containing Dyson's Delve to the north.
Smon: You have with you Jana Vex and the Nerathi from Hara - Lord Namelin Bronze, his half sister Anna, and his Skandik weaponmaster Rasgar Skarrison.
Smon: Jana is planning to lead you through a secret tunnel into the Vex villa.
genghisdon: a full party, ok
genghisdon: are any of these folks non combatants like the young cleric was last time?
genghisdon: obv not the weaponmaster...
Smon: Anna definitely noncombatant, Jana is not great.
genghisdon: ok, thnx
chris107: We better try keep them safe
Smon: Namelin & Rasgar are armoured.
genghisdon: I'm fine with her plan though, unless someoen else has objections?
Smon: Rasgar is a famous warrior.
chris107: No objections at all.
genghisdon: (I have a hard time keeping myself safe sometimes, though I've breezed through the last couple games)
genghisdon: anyway, we need 3 mage tax spelsl then?
Smon: Jana's character sheet - http://smonstats.blogspot.co.uk/2015/03/5egh-jana-vex-priestess-level-3.html
Smon: GM: Towards nightfall you reach the Oriax Tower, where you are greeted by the amazons under Clenderi, who tells Sandor Sunneson he's going to be a daddy...
genghisdon: lovely...but looks non combat, yeah
chris107: eek
genghisdon: "congrats (again)!"
Smon: Jana Vex looks vexed at this news. The amazon barkeep at the tower's inn arranges comfy rooms for the night.
Smon: Hippolyta the amazon barkeep - https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhU77UXI2wO2m110IMatZhYB-zyNtzsPXLglLvFSEm_RtWgqML-NnVk-IwYxuDKRR1qGqOtFPeN5gP1V9DSqYC29r5mTj5AeMJpQC10oOHJYlivesp4csrbmyNcStVpoEhkp1WjKiEAfeU/s200/wench-e1414698586182.jpg
genghisdon: "cheers!"
Smon: At the Inn you can wash off the trail mud and rest for a day to gather your strength. Jana wants to attempt the secret tunnel the following night.
genghisdon: "sounds good to me"
Smon: Jana: "Best we leave the horses here. It is a full moon, and riders can be seen for a long distance across the plain."
genghisdon: "ok"
Smon: Local area map - https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLdbKHH1gFKDwis3uP_9goxTOmKhN9Z7wpUa21Ah5fPjB5RlBRiljGrgCwI7-A2zHbg0hSIq2lEK_fa2msLEvm4dnZwzy9rUd_wV2fwai2zCrvtQLz06tAvThPVXQrLkHmzJA_itYSZrE/s1600/Selatine+Area.jpg
genghisdon: did u guys play caverns of thracia?
Smon: Namelin: "Rasgar and I will be happy to aid you take back Selatine from this death god, Lady Jana. My sister Anna will stay here until we enter Dyson's Delve."
Smon: They did a small bit of it.
chris107: We started it Don.
genghisdon: It is one i can play, to note. Didn't have it back i nthe day, have only glanced at it
chris107: Now the high level guys will be going back to find The First King.
genghisdon: oh
genghisdon: ah well
chris107: After we defeat the Black Sun we must delve to the bottom of Thracia to find the first Dragon.
genghisdon: Let us get rid of this foul necromancer & his death cult!@
chris107: It threatens to be awsome1
genghisdon: (I'm sure it will, sad it won;t include me is all)
Smon: (BTW Don I'm looking at merging groups at some point, prob give Gracyone a level bump. So if you wanted to delve Thracia that would work)
genghisdon: (oh...sure, although I'd rather just make a diff character at high levels in that case...if that's ok)
genghisdon: (perhaps I am strange; I've zero qualsm abotu making a chr for any level, but don;t want to just bump them up that way)
Smon: (I guess so - will see how it goes. Right now I want to GM on Saturdays but later will prob go to weekly games)
genghisdon: (well, when that happens, I'm game)
genghisdon: I like the pace of advancement goign on, BTW, and it is good to learn as we go, rather than jump
genghisdon: perhaps most important for sorcerer, as they have very limited spell picks
genghisdon: dunno
genghisdon: I did NOT do the swap i could the last 2 levels, hope that doesn't haunt me
Smon: (Yup) 4/2/47 After spending a night and day resting at the tower, as night falls you prepare to head north on your mission to overthrow Macreus and his puppet, Hytirus Vex.
chris107: Yay!
genghisdon: when do u get 3 att/r chris?
Smon: Jana smears streaks of black camouflage on her body, Conan-in-the-temple style, and offers Gracyone the paste pot.
genghisdon: Hytirus Vex, the frother, we do NOT want to kill, correct?
chris107: Ursa never gets 3 attacksDon
genghisdon: brother
chris107: He's a Bearbarian.
Smon: https://i.ytimg.com/vi/xwdYd_RdLCQ/hqdefault.jpg
genghisdon: i know 5e not, just assumed u got 2 at L6 more would follow
chris107: Ursa's filthy skin is probs dirty enough but he smears away anyway.
genghisdon: Jana "conan's" up!
chris107: 2 at level 5
genghisdon: +2 hide bonus?
genghisdon: yes, 5, my bad
Smon: Jana: "Don't kill my brother. Once, years ago, he wrongly exiled me from Selatine... A year and a day in exile will do him good." She smiles.
chris107: Only fighters get more. 12th and 20th?
genghisdon: so it is not 5 10 15?
genghisdon: ah, some do get more, thnx
genghisdon: "of course Jana"
Smon: Namelin & Rasgar look a bit dubious, but apply the war paint to their faces.
Smon: Fighters 5, 11 & 20
genghisdon: "I've a spell that ought make him cooperative in any case"
Smon: Everyone else just 2 max plus any bonus action, reaction etc
Smon: Jana nods to Gracyone: "Good."
genghisdon: haste migth be a keeper then
chris107: haste is amazing
Smon: GM: As the sun sets behind the western hills and dusk settles over the plain, your small band (Ursa Gracyone Jana Rasgar Namelin) heads north.
genghisdon: i expected it to be, but also to loose value in time, but it seems it might have stayign power
Smon: /roll d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets: 2,
genghisdon: my new spell hopefully is amaxing too, but concentration rules=ugh
Smon: You spot some signs of orc tracks about 2 miles north of the Tower, but they are days old.
genghisdon: orcs leave distinct tracks?
chris107: "Even days old tracks are not good. I thought Lord Hakeem had cleared this area of Orcs..."
genghisdon: (are they a "beastman" in this?)
Smon: Yup, Ursa can explain orcs have long clawed toes that extend over their sandals/shoes.
genghisdon: "well, we knwo the lands are being run wrong, it's no big surprise"
Smon: Jana: "Many Orcs fled as Hakeem approached Oriax's tower. They feared to face his wrath."
genghisdon: "thanks Ursa, I've never seen an Orc as yet"
chris107: "Tell that to the guvner Gracyone. He'snot that forgiving."
genghisdon: "he should have snick up on them then"
genghisdon: snuck
Smon: Jana: "He had an army with him."
genghisdon: "well, let sus continue, eyes peeled"
genghisdon: oh, tiem for mage tax
genghisdon: Jana needs one i assume?
Smon: GM: After a swift 3 hour hike across the plain and the meadows around Selatine, the rushing rift of the Thrace river comes into view ahead, the small cliff village of Selatine a half mile to your right.
Smon: Jana is AC 9, would be 12 w mage armour.
Smon: DEX 8
genghisdon: (AC 9 is very bad)
chris107: That is very bad
genghisdon: not sure it even matters, but i cast it on her
Smon: HP not bad though - Hit Points 32 (8,2,8, 8, 6)
Smon: Nice rolls.
genghisdon: my 15 (with mage tax) is bad
genghisdon: oh, i've been taking 4/6, didn't know we rolled
genghisdon: anyway, mage armor for 2 at this point
Smon: You can roll or take high avg
chris107: I think we get to choose either or for hp Don.
Smon: but not both
Smon: Rolls in front of me.
genghisdon: ah, well, I'm on the high av then
chris107: me too
Smon: Had a guy tabletop came in saying he'd rolled 12 for Barb hp. Made him roll in front of me, got 2.
chris107: Over the levels it doesn't half add up!
Smon: Amalric always rolled, most people take the high avg.
genghisdon: (yes, small math adv increases)
Smon: GM: I'll say Sandor is guarding your rear.
genghisdon: I'd prob have rolled, jsut for perverseness/grognardism, but too late now
chris107: Amalric did okay for a few levels as I recall?
Smon: /roll d8
Smon rolls 1d8 and gets: 6,
Smon: Yup but it started to catch up with him.
chris107: yup
Smon: You are in luck and it is not raining as Jana leads you down a slippery narrow path along the steep south bank of the fast-rushing river.
genghisdon: poor HP rolsl essentially end a character, so 5e has it right on this, or better, anyway
Smon: To the east you can hear the roar of the waterfall where it cascades down to the sea.
genghisdon: good
Smon: (yup agree re hp)
Smon: Long as you're all careful, no Acrobatics checks not to fall.
Smon: INT check for Jana:
genghisdon: (I adopted a roll twice/take the better approach i enjoy)
Smon: /roll d20
Smon rolls 1d20 and gets: 16,
genghisdon: I'll levitate, as helpful
Smon: Good old Jana. "Here - this is where the tunnel exits..."
genghisdon: and take the clumsy (too top heavy) Jana with me
Smon: You don't need to carry her.
genghisdon: never go wrogn snuggling those pillows
genghisdon: too bad
chris107: Ursa is glad to have made it down the slippery track unscathed.
Smon: Jana extracts herself from the lusty amazon brushes away a swathe of hanging ivy about 8'-10' above the river, revealing a perfectly cylindrical tunnel about 3'6" wide heading south towards the village.
Smon: Jana: "This is it. It leads directly to the chambers beneath the Villa."
genghisdon: "hmm, magic formed this?"
Smon: Rasgar eyes the tunnel: "Dwarf should go first."
Smon: Jana nods to Gracyone.
genghisdon: "agreed"
chris107: Ursa is happy to go first
Smon: "The magic of the ancient Philosophers, that some call Sy-Ents."
chris107: "Anyone got a spare dagger? Could be tough to swing old Grond in there."
genghisdon: I'll go last I guess
genghisdon: "Sy-ents, eh?" (hee)
chris107: "Or a spear?"
genghisdon: "sorry, naked sorcereress"
Smon: Namelin produces a well crafted bronze dagger, hands it to Ursa.
genghisdon: IS it that tight Simon?
chris107: "Thanks." Dagger in hand Ursa sets off up the tube.
chris107: 3'6
genghisdon: then we need a fighting man in the rear too
genghisdon: not me
Smon: You'll have disadvantage unless you are a dwarf wielding a dagger.
chris107:
genghisdon: actually, read for me...i don;t use any weapons anyway
genghisdon: rear
chris107: Lets hope there are no other dagger weilding dwarves coming the other way.
genghisdon: might be goblins or kobolds or tunnel worms...
genghisdon: lets find out!
Smon: GM: You enter the tunnel, Jana going behind Ursa and creating light on the holy symbol that dangles from her neck so everyone can see.
Smon: Ursa can proceed at a crouch, everyone else crawls along, Rasgar behind Jana and enjoying the sight.
Smon: Namelin behind Rasgar, then Gracyone, Sandor guarding the rear.

7:03pm 2017-5-10 DESTROYERBILL Has entered the room
genghisdon: hi Bill
chris107: Hey Bill!
DESTROYERBILL: hello
Smon: You have been crawling for what seems a long time when you hear a faint gurgling sounds, then a small stream of warm soapy water laps around your hands and knees as you crawl.
Smon: Jana: "The showers - we are close... Ursa, look for a panel above you."
chris107: Ursa recoils in disgust!
chris107: But looks for the panel.
genghisdon:
Smon: You notice several dark tubular openings in the tube ceiling.
Smon: About 3" wide - the water is gushing from one of these.
chris107: "Jana, is there no other way in? I would rather fight a thousand Orcs than face this frothy water!"
genghisdon:
DESTROYERBILL: is there no other way in? I would rather fight a thousand Orcs than face this frothy water!"
Smon: Jana nods: "Yes - The next panel leads into the prison block."
chris107: He searches for secret panels that may bypass this nightmare.
Smon: Above Ursa's head he sees a square silver panel.
chris107: Quietly moving it, should he discover one.
Smon: Jana: "It is stiff but not locked..."
Smon: Ursa make an Athletics check DC 13
chris107 rolls 1d20+7 and gets: 7, (+7) = 14
chris107: just
Smon: With a creak and a shower of dust the panel lifts up.
chris107: any light above?
Smon: There is a dim golden glow from above.
chris107: He peeks his head in and looks about
Smon: Ursa pokes his head up. He sees a small prison block, three cells around a central 5x5 area, a door to the side with a key chain hanging.
Smon: In one of the cells a familiar white dragonborn is regarding him.
genghisdon: (handy)
genghisdon: Darkonak?!
DESTROYERBILL: ill just break out now
chris107: 2 mins guys, soz
Smon: These are very sturdy bars, DC 28
genghisdon: I make my way in, when i have the chance
Smon: d20+10
DESTROYERBILL rolls 1d20+10 and gets: 14, (+10) = 24
chris107: back
genghisdon: if/when i get up there, I'll try the keys
Smon: Drakonak gives it a good try but the bars are too strong.
chris107: Ursa shuffles in. "Hello Darkonok."
Smon: Ursa and co clamber out into the cramped cell block.
genghisdon: (wait for keys, but otherewise, FREEZE the metal, then we smash them)
Smon: Gracyone gets the keys and unlocks the door.
genghisdon: "how did they capture you so quickly?'
genghisdon: she asks the mighty dragonman
DESTROYERBILL: druged cake
genghisdon: "the fiends!"
genghisdon: who can resist cake?
DESTROYERBILL: like shialdbiters druged lemanade
Smon: Jana: "These cells once held Macreus... Now he rules here."
chris107: Ursa nods sadly.
*genghisdon looks around for Drak's gear*
Smon: /roll d100
Smon rolls 1d100 and gets: 24,
Smon: You're in luck - one of the other cells is being used as a store and is piled with stuff, including Drakonok's gear.
genghisdon: "we are lucky!"
genghisdon: (does he wear armor?)
chris107: Any thing else look useful?
Smon: Namelin: "What now?"
genghisdon: we get Drak equiped, and take a peek at what else they have stolen
DESTROYERBILL: thanks
Smon: Jana: "Someone was having a shower - if they are still there we might take them by surprise. Or we could proceed straight to the Hall and confront my brother, if he is there."
chris107: "We make our way up through the villa and butcher the evil priest?"
genghisdon: are there any Daggers, darts, slings, quarterstaffs, light crossbows
genghisdon: ?
Smon: GM There is a good amount of weapons and armour, including a suit of Nerathi gear Gracyone recognises as having belonged to Constantius, the young soldier you set free.
Smon: There are several slings, 3 daggers, 2 longswords.
Smon: 6 javelins.
genghisdon: "bummer, we shal lhave to free him again, perhaps"...the other cells are al lempty though
genghisdon: ?
chris107: Ursa passes the dagger back to Lord Bronze and takes another from the pile if there is one?
*genghisdon takes a dagger*
Smon: Ursa picks out a dwarf-made Chacban dagger. Gracyone finds a slender elvish dagger blade.
Smon: Bronze sheathes his dagger.
chris107: "Thanks again. Now lets go crush this priest's head."
genghisdon: "or find more prisoners"
Smon: Namelin: "Any man will have long finished his shower by now. Let's go to the throneroom and end this."
genghisdon: let us start with the person i nthe shower, we could get lucky again
genghisdon: ok then, try that
Smon: Jana looks sad. "Gracyone, the cult of Thanatos... they..."
genghisdon: "I'm going to fidn him as a zombie, right?"
genghisdon: "well, he did his best"
Smon: Jana: "There are still two female servants here. One of them might be showering..."
genghisdon: "lets go, I've vengeance to take, yet again"
Smon: Rasgar: "Probably the concubine, making herself smell nice for Vex. We don't need her. Let's go up."
genghisdon: "as you wish"
chris107: Ursa stealthily leads the way
genghisdon: (although info helps us)
Smon: Jana opens the door out of the cell block. It leads onto a long corridor, several doors off it.
chris107: Grond now sitting comfortably in his gnarled hands
genghisdon: these people know the place, I let them lead/guide us
chris107: "which way?" He whispers
Smon: The walls of the corridor are sheet silver metal lit by an ambient golden glow.
chris107: Does Ursa recognise the metal?
genghisdon: "more Sy Ence?"
Smon: You can hear water from through the entrance to a large chamber off to your right at the end,grey tiles, metal and glass, water-nozzles set high above.
Smon: Ursa can make a raw INT check.
chris107 rolls 1d20 and gets: 5,
Smon: Nope.
chris107: big fail
chris107: He awaits directions before pushing on.
Smon: All the the angles not quite right, as if built by a subtly inhuman hand.
Smon: /roll d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets: 4,
Smon: Namelin whispers: "There's someone in there... Rasgar, go get them - no killing."
Smon: Rasgar nods and starts padding towards the shower block entrance.
*genghisdon sneaks in there*
Smon: Gracyone slips ahead of Rasgar - make a stealth roll Gracyone DEX+Prof
genghisdon rolls 1d20+5 and gets: 12, (+5) = 17
Smon: Gracyone slips quietly into the large, warm chamber. A shapely blonde girl is showering under a single active nozzle, her eyes closed. Judging by the amount of soap suds on her and in the drain she's been here awhile.
Smon: Girl with slogh
Smon: slightly more on https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhF8K-WMwlG461aGTiHVSRvrxb5C41N7OflcS-090fDj_7mbtjxqI2EN9DyHtrzwfuyBsUp1c2tLjzEx1_YXGDNNF_rCeyQx-e6qgnQpkmFU7C1igD8vtYOp0yPAw6z56hnUiSU7OQvu-8/s320/n_a+(8).jpg
*genghisdon casts charm mon her*
Smon: /roll d20+6
Smon rolls 1d20+6 and gets: 2, (+6) = 8
genghisdon: oh, hello gorgeous
*genghisdon enters the shower with her*
Smon: Rasgar comes in noisily behind Gracyone, her eyes open and she gasps, then the charm goes off.
genghisdon: "let me help with that..."
Smon: /roll d20
Smon rolls 1d20 and gets: 13,
Smon: DC?
genghisdon: 15
Smon: Her gaze softens and she nods. Rasgar watches Gracyone join the girl.
Smon: He makes a distracted noise.
genghisdon: he gets a show
Smon: Rasgar joins the ladies... In the corridor Namelin looks to Ursa and the others. "What's keeping them?"
chris107: "I think the plug hole is blocked."
Smon: Jana frowns.
chris107: (Dick the Butcher had a similar problem here.)
genghisdon: after a brief washing..."so, what's your name, and who are you? I'm Gracyone'
Smon: Sounds of soapy activity waft from the shower into the corridor. Inside, Gracyone fends off an excitable Rasgar enough to quiz the girl.
Smon: Girl: "I'm Maria, servant to Lord Vex..." She continues soaping Gracyone.
genghisdon: well, a little play first was fine...but yeah
Smon: Namelin: "Rasgar, get back here!"
genghisdon: (got my conan style camo off)
Smon: The big warrior scowls and leaves the ladies.
genghisdon: "I'm here with his sister; how is lord Vex doing?"
Smon: Rasgar to Namelin: "Gracyone is... interrogating a captive."
genghisdon: (lol)(
Smon: Maria relaxes as Rasgar departs. "He is ...very sad."
genghisdon: "oh? do tell why, Maria"
Smon: /roll d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets: 1,
DESTROYERBILL: lets kill somfing
Smon: Maria "Turn your back, there's more there... Lord Vex is sad because of what happened to Selatine."
chris107:
genghisdon: soon...I'm sure we can get the brother this way, and it seems he is going to probablyhelp us
Smon: Namelin: "The Dragonborn speaks wisdom!" He draws his gleaming bronze sword.
*genghisdon turns*
chris107: Ursa agrees
chris107: Hefting his heavy warhammer
Smon: Maria: "To protect his town he let Oriax's orcs in... But they did bad things. And his warriors left him."
genghisdon: "Selatine? what happened?'
genghisdon: "that's what happens to orc lovers...ah well. Lord Vex is simply not cut out for the pressures of leadership. His sister & us are here to make thigns better"
Smon: Maria: "I didn't see much... But I know many were sold as slaves... and much was ruined. Even when the Orcs fled it was too late."
Smon: Maria nods: "Please be gentle with him. He is a good man."
genghisdon: "We will get the orcs back for that, but I think you had best take us to Lord Vex"
genghisdon: "we will be...would you liek to stay in Lord Vex's service Maria?"
Smon: Maria nods. "He will still be in the Hall with Macreus. He stays there until very late."
Smon: Maria nods.
genghisdon: (get washed off/ dry up)
Smon: She towels off and dresses in a bright pink bikini.
genghisdon: "after that, take her our to meet Lady Vex
Smon: The women emerge from the showers very clean.
Smon: /roll d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets: 5,
genghisdon: "the great hall is where he ought be"
genghisdon: "lets go"
Smon: GM: Maria looks worried at the sight of Gracyone's companions, but leads you upstairs, up well worn steps of sandy stone.
genghisdon: how many guards do Marceus & he keep in the great hall?
Smon: Maria: "Six... This is the best way."
genghisdon: we follow
Smon: She leads you through the villa to a red door.
Smon: Jana: "Yes - this leads into the back of the hall."
genghisdon: "no "special" guards?"
chris107: Ursa does not intend to give this Macreus chap chance to explain himself.
genghisdon: me either, but we do not need to harm lord vex
chris107: But will smash him to a pulp at the first chance.
Smon: Maria: "Just the priest... But I heard a rumour that in the Chapel of Thanatos here are bad things..."
chris107: agreed
Smon: Namelin nods to Rasgar.
Smon: Rasgar steps towards the red door,
genghisdon: WAIT
Smon: He pauses, annoyed. "What?!"
genghisdon: Let Maria here go in to greet the lord on some pretex, while I & another enter invisibly first
genghisdon: I can then, hopefully, charm the lord & the guards before they know we are there
genghisdon: Ursa does not wear armor?
Smon: ooc invis requires concentration - are you twin spelling it?
chris107: Ursa has no armour.
genghisdon: I will if allowed to do my plan, yes
genghisdon: then Ursa & I will follow Maria in invisibily
genghisdon: Maria? you can enter & make a reason to do so to your lord? that we migth recue him from this evil priest?
genghisdon: rescue
DESTROYERBILL: i wana kill somfing
Smon: Maria looks terrified. "Macreus will be in there. He will sense deception... He will surely slay me."
genghisdon: u will probably get your chance soon, but give it a minute
genghisdon: u are not allowed to enter? what deception?
chris107: "Macreus will be a bloody stain on the carpet soon. Don't worry about him."
genghisdon: Macreus will know nothing, until it is too late
Smon: Gracyone & Ursa make CHA+Prof checks
genghisdon rolls 1d20+7 and gets: 15, (+7) = 22
genghisdon: and i do have her chamred
genghisdon: charmed

chris107: "Ugghhhh"

Smon: "You have proven yourself unfit to rule. As you sentenced me to a year's exile, so I now sentence you..."
