chris107: Back to the Skygod Idol and the Thanatari Cultists?
Prince Skylio: Sorry if I'm useless tonight I'm half asleep and can barely move from takeaway consumption
chris107: Death by Pizza
Smon: LOL
Sandor Sunneson: Can we not change the name of it from Skygod Idol? Makes it sound like a reality tv show, how about we call the place Chester?
Sandor Sunneson: Or Athens if it's Greek influences?
chris107: Have a word with Zeus, Fergus..
Sandor Sunneson: Zeusville then
chris107:
Smon: Technically it was constructed as an idol to Shang-Ta by ancient Antillians, but the locals just call it Sky God Idol and identify it with Zeus.
Prince Skylio: what about caesar's palace
Sandor Sunneson: Shang Ta or CP will do fine
Smon: GM: You are tired from your glorious triumph at Goblin Gulley, are you taking a long rest over the next week? It will cost you 3gp at the Inn each for rooms.
chris107: No more free room and board?
Smon: no, sadly the Lady paid for a week.
Sandor Sunneson: Ok, will pay
Prince Skylio: and me
chris107: 3GP crossed off.
Smon: OK you rest up for a week, getting to know the locals. Shelos the Shepherd is seen hand in hand with his rescuer the freedwoman Misha, rumour has it they may wed.
chris107: Can M find the herbs he needs to attaract another familiar?
Smon: Yup will cost you 10gp.
Smon: Drinking in the evening at the Bratanis Inn, Shelos tells the tale of a mysterious sunken fortress in the hills south of town.
chris107: After the unfortunate demise of Polgara the Owl.
chris107: Crossed off.
Sandor Sunneson: what's in the fortress?
Smon: "They say a perfect apple tree grows there, in vaults long buried 'neath the ground! That each solstice one single apples grows from the Gulthia Tree - red for health and vigour, white for poison and death."
Sandor Sunneson: removed too, can Sandro buy stuff from players handbook items list if he fancies anything?
chris107: (Are we close to the Solsice?)
Smon: "There are Goblins down there - sometimes they even bring the red apples to town, to trade! Mako once planted the seeds, but someone stole the sapling."
Smon: It's February so no.
Smon: About 4 months to go.
Smon: "About a month back a group of adventurers came from Ahyf, seeking the tree - they never came back!"
chris107: "Perhaps if we kill or drive the Goblins off, we will be able to fetch the fruit come Solsitce time?"
Sandor Sunneson: (or negotiate with them :P)
Prince Skylio: "anything is better than taking our chances with the octopus monster again"
chris107: (Softie )
Sandor Sunneson: (Got us a big massive dragon)
Smon: Shelos shrugs. "They sell 'em for 50 gold - only rich folks like Innkeeper Mako can afford that, of course. I heard Ruggio bought one, when he was lord."
Smon: Misha: "Are you heading back to Sky - I mean Zeus Idol tomorrow?"
chris107: "We had planned to."
Sandor Sunneson: Zeusville
chris107: "We must root out the Thanatari Cultists. Slaying more Owl murdering Goblins will have to wait.."
Smon: Misha: "Zeusville, sorry..."
Prince Skylio: hahaha
Sandor Sunneson: Yes, lets deal with the deathists
chris107: Mordred pulls out his rather extensive map..
Prince Skylio: "As long as I get some blood on my hammer I'm happy"
Sandor Sunneson: How many of them are there left?
chris107: "I have no idea."
Smon: Misha: "Do you need any help? I can still carry a torch..." Shelos frowns.
chris107: "I think Shelos would be unhappy to see you in danger Misha."
Smon: Shelos nods, looking gratefully at Mordred.
Smon: Misha shrugs. "Well I'm free now, I can do what I want, right?"
Prince Skylio: "Stay here. You'll only get yourself killed"
Smon: She sticks her tongue out at Zagaar then grins, glancing playfully over at Shelos. "It's okay silly! I'll not go."
Smon: Shelos looks relieved, puts an arm round her. "Glad to hear it..." There is some smooching.
Smon: Behind the bar you hear the halfling innkeeper muttering in a stage whisper about 'getting a room'.
chris107: With a flourish, Mordred pulls forth his new snowey owl familiar. I shall call her Misha in your honour.2
Prince Skylio: Zagaar facepalms
Smon: Misha laughs and claps delightedly at sight of the owl. Shelos smiles. "That's a fine owl."
chris107: Mordred scowls at the heartless Orc.
Smon: Misha: "She's lovely! What an honour."
Prince Skylio: "I bet you 3 gold pieces it gets killed on our next venture"
chris107: Mordred facepalms
Smon: GM: You chat into the evening, saying hello to old Erhurr when he pops in for a quick pint. Eventually the lovebirds do indeed go off hand in hand and you retire for the night.
chris107: "Thank you Misha, ignore this heartless monster."
Smon: Day 18
Smon: /roll d8
Smon rolls 1d8 and gets: 1,
Smon: Bondorr's lightning crackles over the rugged hills and thunder rolls - clearly the recent good weather is at an end.
Smon: It's pouring down outside as Ellen, a shapely serving wench, serves you breakfast in the inn hall.
chris107: "A fine omen, when visiting the Skygod..erm Zeus' temple."
Smon: You notice Ellen is wearing a copper necklace with an empty setting.
Prince Skylio: OOC Chris could you get me a glass of water please I don't have enough energy to speak
Sandor Sunneson: Nice necklace you got there Hen
Smon: Ellen smiles at Sandro. "I wear it for Kal... it was set with a ruby, large but flawed... like him."
Smon: "I had to sell the ruby, but I like to wear it to remember him."
Sandor Sunneson: Nice,
chris107: (Ah yes! Ken's Half Orc?)
Smon: Ellen finishes setting your table. "He was an adventurer... I heard he died up in the hills, somewhere."
Smon: (yup!)
chris107: (Eaten by Hyenas )
Smon: Ellen looks misty-eyed, and wipes away a tear. "He was a good man. The ruby saved my family from hunger."
Sandor Sunneson: Sorry to hear that
Smon: Sandro can make a CHA check
Smon: cha+prof
Sandor Sunneson: He's just bleathering away
Sandor Sunneson rolls 1d20 and gets: 15,
Smon: Ellen the very shapely barmaid - https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsZeMEPn_2sU95CCeX2bH_srAmxhwz2_D4Ozl6V6SgIoTC0zNQgHtKOME13oXCauXvql1EqQi5AFZqtgfhasmbTwmFg0159uDgoDT6kV4OoINFjX6ONE4aCQ6_crdaLTpEX1M3sIiUNwg/s320/Ellen.png
Smon: She smiles at Sandro. "I heard you did all sorts of brave thing! Rescued Shelos, defeated the Gulley Goblins..."
Smon: "It's great to have adventurers here again."
chris107: "When he arrived." Snipes Mordred peevishly
Smon: LOL
Sandor Sunneson: Yeah, all a bit new to me, I'm heading towards Beloros myself
Sandor Sunneson: Got to pass this staff on to one of the priests there
Smon: Ellen: "The Temple of Apollo? That is far across the hills, past the Idol..." Mako: "More tables to serve, Ellen!"
Smon: Ellen nods to you all and scurries off about her duties.
Sandor Sunneson: Yes, you know it?
Smon: "Yes, we'll talk later..."
Prince Skylio: Z scowls at Mako "seconds for me please Ellen"
chris107: "Hussie." whispers Mordred under his breath.
Smon: 15 minutes later Ellen is back with more porridge, bread & humus.
Smon: Ellen: "There's a small pot of honey I found in the kitchen..."
chris107: "Don't you monks take some kind of vow to stay away from , from all that?" He gestures helplessly after Ellen.
Smon: She slips it onto your table (you suspect Mako charges extra for honey).
Prince Skylio: Z winks at Ellen "Is that on the house then"
Smon: Zagaar can make a CHA check
Prince Skylio: (CHA check? )
Prince Skylio rolls 1d20 and gets: 2,
Sandor Sunneson: I was talking with her about Apollo's temple,
Smon: LOL
Sandor Sunneson:
Smon: Zagaar has no luck
Prince Skylio: o dear
chris107: She screams?
Sandor Sunneson: takes the honey back
Sandor Sunneson:
Smon: Ellen winces at Zagaar's guttural bark. "Y-yes..." she whimpers.
chris107:
Prince Skylio: "thanks sunshine"
chris107: Mordred facepalms.
Smon: "The Temple, yes - the ancient Hero Belaras is buried there. The Paladins of Apollo-Mitra train there."
Sandor Sunneson: Oh, ok, sounds like an interesting place, how far is it from Zeusville?
Smon: "Pilgrims come from hundreds of miles to see the Chalice of Belaras - they say it can cure any ill, even raise the dead!"
Smon: Ellen: "It's, um, eight leagues from here... fourteen miles past the Statue, I think."
chris107: "Mordred looks impressed
Prince Skylio: "could fetch a high price"
chris107: "Zagaar, you should ask to borrow this mighty magical chalice. It could revive all the bar maids you scare to death."
Smon: Ellen looks aghast. "It's a holy artifact! You can't sell it!"
Prince Skylio: "it could have even revived your stupid owl"
chris107: Mordred retires to bed in a sulk.
chris107: "We have an early start."
Smon: /roll d20
Smon rolls 1d20 and gets: 5,
Smon: (it's morning now chris)
Sandor Sunneson: This is breakfaST?
chris107: (Oops)
Smon: Although you could sleep all day & see if the weather improves.
Sandor Sunneson: Sandro is ready to go, thanks for the lovely breakfast Ellen
chris107: "Maybe we should wait for the rain to stop?"
Smon: Smon: GM: You chat into the evening, saying hello to old Erhurr when he pops in for a quick pint. Eventually the lovebirds do indeed go off hand in hand and you retire for the night. chris107: "Thank you Misha, ignore this heartless monster." Smon: Day 18 Smon: /roll d8 Smon rolls 1d8 and gets: 1, Smon: Bondorr's lightning crackles over the rugged hills and thunder rolls - clearly the recent good weather is at an end. Smon: It's pouring down outside as Ellen, a shapely serving wench, serves you breakfast in the inn hall.
Prince Skylio: "the honey was delicious" Z gives an awkward smile
Smon: Ellen nods uncertainly to Z. "No trouble..."
chris107: But the young noble warrior is ready to trudge through the mud to fight the forces of undeath.
Smon: GM: Are you heading for the idol today?
Sandor Sunneson: happy to wait not fussed either way
Sandor Sunneson: Sandro will get his nun chucks out
Prince Skylio: "a little rain never hurt anyone" Z glances outside to the unrelenting storm outside
chris107: "The rain may keep monsters away while we travel?"
Sandor Sunneson: true, there is a war brewing but they are not fighting in the wet in case they get a cold
Smon: Ellen to Sandro: "Be careful in the dungeon - don't get hurt! Too many adventurers don't come back..."
Sandor Sunneson: Apollo will be with me
chris107: Mordred scowls at Sandro.
Prince Skylio: "and more importantly so will i"
Smon: LOL
Prince Skylio: Z examines his hammer and grins
chris107: "Let us be off then!" Says Mordred grandly.
Smon: GM: You turn up the hoods on your capes and head outside into the pouring rain.
Smon: Passing a flock of rain-sodden sheep - who scamper off in panic at the sight of Zagaar - you head NW on the Pilgrims' Trail.
chris107: Mordred shoves his owl back up inside his wizards sleeve.
Smon: /roll d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets: 1,
Prince Skylio: ahahha
chris107:
Smon: Going is slow on the rain-soaked hill trail, but it does seem to be keeping the monsters & raiders indoors...
chris107: "Told you so."
Smon: After a 5-hour hike you reach the bluff south of the great-winged Idol.
chris107: "There was a cave off to the east that we ignored. Plus many turn off's down to the North."
Smon: You know there are caves on the west side of the spur, where you battled skeletons, and stairs down from the monastery ruins atop the bluffs.
Sandor Sunneson: Cave? Might contain carrion crawlers
chris107: Mordred takes out his somewhat tatty but treasured map.
Smon: The closest entrance is a tunnel in the east cliffs.
chris107: Goes east then turns north.
chris107: adds the knight helpfully.
chris107: "Perhaps you would like to scout it out further?"
Sandor Sunneson: ok, Sandro will scout it out
chris107: "Or perhaps we should dry off our things first?"
Smon: /roll d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets: 3,
chris107: Mordred will mop, disconsolently at his wet things as sandor wanders off.
Smon: Is Sandro entering the eastern tunnel? Light source?
chris107: Sandro
Smon: The tunnel runs west about 30' then turns north into darkness. The grass just outside is blackened as by fire, but fresh shoots are coming through.
Sandor Sunneson: Was it a recent fire?
Sandor Sunneson: 2-3 weeks?
Smon: A few weeks ago maybe.
Smon: Yes
Smon: A large expanse of grass was incinerated, 40' across.
Sandor Sunneson: Ok, Sandro will report back to party, any tracks?
Smon: make INT+Prof check
Sandor Sunneson rolls 1d20 and gets: 1,
Sandor Sunneson:
Smon: no tracks
Smon: It's quite muddy ground though
chris107: "So you went into the cave and looked round the corner? Great scouting skills..." Mumbles Mordred.
Sandor Sunneson: Sandro will return to the party, saying what he found
chris107: "This way!" Mordred enters the cave and tries to find a dry torch in his pack.
Prince Skylio: Z shakes his head and follows. His darkvision illuminating the path ahead for himself
chris107: "Have a look up that northern passagway while I get this lit will you Zagaar?"
chris107: Mordred is exasperated by his less than adept companions.
Smon: GM: You can see the east entrance tunnel is clearly worked stone.
Prince Skylio: "no problem" Z steps inside of the northern passageaway and peers down
Smon: It runs 30' w then turns n for 20' then w again.
Prince Skylio: "i'll see what i can hear" he whispers to Mordred
Smon: At the n end you can look w, and see a long tunnel stretching out w, with a side tunnel n at 20', door in n wall at 40'.
Smon: It continues w beyond z's 60' darkvision range
Prince Skylio: (can i roll to listen? is it INT or WIS?)
Smon: yup. WIS+Prof
Prince Skylio: thanks
Prince Skylio rolls 1d20 and gets: 6,

Smon: /roll d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets: 4,
chris107: Mordred illuminates things for the Monk.
Sandor Sunneson: ta
Smon: Sandro spots muddy goblin-sized tracks in the tunnel.
Sandor Sunneson: woken up a bit now that we're out that bloody rain
Sandor Sunneson: goblins here boys
chris107: "Where?"
Smon: It looks like several goblins came in recently, tracking in mud from outside.
Sandor Sunneson: in the tunnel, there,
chris107: We are still in the entrance cave?
Sandor Sunneson: Sandro will point them out,
Smon: The tracks head w down the tunnel, past the side tunnel to the n.
chris107: "Thanks." says Mordred tartly. Looking at the muddy footprints.
Smon: You are in the east entrance tunnel where it turns w again.
chris107: We hurry to catch up with the Orc before he steals anything.
chris107: To the door in the north wall of the long western tunnel.
Smon: GM: Ok you move past the northern side tunnel, and reach the door.
chris107: M will try listen up the northern side tunnel as he passes.
Smon: It looks as if ahead to the w there is another n side tunnel after 30'.
chris107 rolls 1d20+2 and gets: 8, (+2) = 10
Smon: Mordred listens at the north door - no noise.
Smon: There is a rusty sign on the door - it says "Study" in Ghinarian.
Prince Skylio: Z attempts to push the door open softly
Smon: /roll d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets: 4,
chris107: Are we all together now?
Smon: Yes
Smon: Unless you say different
Smon: Zagaar pushes the door open.
chris107: That's good for me.
Sandor Sunneson: no
Sandor Sunneson: all together now
chris107: Mordred holds the torch aloft so that his bumbling companions can see what they are doing.
Smon: Mordred's torchlight spills over a dilapidated library/study. Many mildewed books still line the shelves.
Sandor Sunneson: in no man's land
Smon: Room is about 20x20.
Smon: With a sagging sofa in the middle and a broken table remnants.
Smon: Some books are scattered on the floor, spilling pages, but most still are on the walls - several dozen at least.
chris107: (Farm reference not lost Fergus )
chris107: "Those things are BOOKS Zagar." Explains Mordred slowly.
Smon: The neares face up book's title reads "Pond Ecology"
Sandor Sunneson: Any desk drawers that we could have a nosey through?
Smon: Another says "Occult lore"
Smon: No no desk.
chris107: (Not sure why Mordred is slowly turning into Kenneth Williams.)
Smon:
chris107: No further exits?
Prince Skylio: Z scowls at Mordred "hmpf"
chris107: "You chaps want to look around in here or push on and do war upon our enemies?"
Prince Skylio: Zagaar noses round at the books in frustration "Knowledge makes me angry" he turns and leaves the room, warhammer in hand
Smon: 30' further w Zagaar sees there is another door in the S wall, opposite a side tunnel leading n.
chris107: M looks at SanroMordred hurries after him.
Sandor Sunneson: Sandro follows
Smon: At the limit of his darkvision it looks like the long w passage turns s, 40' beyond aforementioned side passage.
Prince Skylio: "Let's try through there" Z gestures to the door in the S wall
Smon: The door to the south looks familiar - it says "Amoury" on it.
Smon: You've been here before.
Smon: Sandro can make INT check
chris107: Yes!
chris107: Got it
Sandor Sunneson rolls 1d20 and gets: 11,

Smon rolls 1d6 and gets: 2,
Smon: DC 10
Sandor Sunneson: He'll point it out to his amigos
Smon: They look recent.
chris107: My map was surprisingly accurate for a change
Smon: You recall you tracked cultists west from here two weeks ago.
Smon: North should take you past the room with the stair up to surface.
chris107: We did indeed, to the ampitheater and the cell where the wretched sheepherder was been held.
chris107: Yup, a short turn off leads to the central entrance cave.
Smon: More chamber than cave.
chris107: We can go north past this turn off though if you like?
Sandor Sunneson: Any noises?
chris107: Vaulted
Smon: Seems quiet on your passive perception.
chris107: Is my less than complete description
chris107: "North then lads?"
Prince Skylio: "let's go"
Sandor Sunneson: Yes, north, like the A1
Smon: GM You head north.
chris107: past the turn off into the vaulted chamber.
Smon: After 60' you see the arch to your right that opens after 10' into the room w the stairs. faint grey daylight spills down the steps and there is a second exit opposite.
Smon: The goblin tracks continue n, growing fainter.
chris107: got it.
Smon: Eventually after another 50' you reach a 4-way intersection, tunnels off to s n and e.
Smon: /roll d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets: 1,
Sandor Sunneson: the monsters are out playing in the rain

chris107: Cantrips, Blade Ward and Chill Touch
Sandor Sunneson: are they listed in players handbook?
Smon: (yes) "Good citizens! I am Kerowyn Hucrele, of the Ahyf Hucreles..."
chris107: Spells Shield, Protection/Evil and... Mordred listens attentivley
Smon: "A month ago, an adventuring party passed through here. They included my nephew Talgen and niece Sharwyn. They are now missing!"
Smon: "As you may know, the Hucreles are a family of considerable means! We offer 125 gold for their return if deceased, or double that if they are returned alive and unharmed."
chris107: "Do you know where they were heading m'lady?"
Smon: In the assembled crowd, Shelos the shepherd nudges Sandro the monk. "Ere, that must be the adventurers I was telling you about! The ones as headed for the Sunless Citadel!"
Smon: Kerowyn turns to Mordred. "They were part of a group seeking ruins in this vicinity."
Smon: The loincloth clad slave maid wraps a hooded cloak around Kerowyn Hucrele to fend off the rain.
Smon: The three guards peer from under their steel helms at the Ghinarian village.
chris107: "We shall help you!"
chris107: Hopes Mordred
chris107: He looks at his chums for confirmation.
Sandor Sunneson: We shall
Sandor Sunneson: What time you playing till?
Sandor Sunneson: tonight I mean?
Smon: Kerowyn nods to Mordred: "Excellent!" Then you see Lady Thuvia emerge from her Hall."Mrs Hucrele! An honour! Please, be a guest in my Hall..."
Prince Skylio: Z recalls his dance with death and yet shrugs "Go on then"
Smon: OOC ok stopping there.
