Nor Any Comforts of Home.
Toiling For Our Crimes
We Must Dig Where We Dwell,
With No Freedom or Mercy
In Our Vast Stony Hell.

7:25am 2017-9-23 Smon Has entered the room
saunatonttu: hey smon
chris107: Morning Simon
Smon: Morning
sandor sunneson: Morning Simon, welcome to HakeemWorld
Smon:
chris107: That helm in the wrong hands could undo all our good work.
chris107: Imagine a Black Sun assassin getting hold of it and putting it on Hakeem?
sandor sunneson: You still would control him though
sandor sunneson: You'd just have to start attacking your friends and enemies
chris107: I've worked too long and too hard to throw it all away.
sandor sunneson: Don't think Don will be coming back
chris107: It's a short cut to, hello NPC Hakeem
chris107: I doubt he will.
sandor sunneson: A 1e harm spell and a headbut on the nose would deal with him in that circumstance
sandor sunneson:
chris107: I like Don, but I couldn't have him in my game for long. I'd go crackers.
sandor sunneson: So we left it at the evening feast
sandor sunneson: true
chris107: We must arrange for a huge funeral pyre and deal with the Warbringers body too. Not wise to leave piles of carrion on the field when you are fighting necromancers.
saunatonttu: what did Don do this time?
chris107:
chris107: Just be Don.
Smon: So like I said, was planning to do l3 group today - updated local map with Stonehell https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5abrABRu89Ke2MIgS_-EuqPtG5onZFjYI77jEjsaW9YWuusKyoeYJZJ8fgdOzfFJRlt-G23kph-4jbLanQNdYOMwXq9a5l4-N0ZJwOgyl_u3Ia4f0tSu70ZwebY5qVvGglsL0NkZ-hJY/s1600/Selatine+Area.jpg But if you want to discuss high level stuff can do that.
sandor sunneson: true
saunatonttu: simon, did you get my PM?
sandor sunneson: ok, that's fine, think Sandro
Smon: Don kept creatively reinterpreting his spells.
chris107: Happy either way. Mordred is only a few hundred XP off 4th I think?
Smon: Then arguing about it.
sandor sunneson: Was this taking the stick to the temple?
Smon: Yes XP +305 Total 305+2145=2450/2700
saunatonttu: ah, very Donian
7:33am 2017-9-23 saunatonttu Has exited the room
chris107: You happy to explore Stonehell with Sandro, Fergus?
sandor sunneson: Yes
Smon: Sandor brings the staff to the Temple of Belaras without further incident. The high priest thanks him and gives him a reward of 100gp.
sandor sunneson: Not played him for yonks, lets go
7:33am 2017-9-23 saunatonttu Has entered the room
sandor sunneson: Cool
Smon: OOC I feel pretty grotty but will do my best.
chris107: Mordred fusses with his wizard's sleeve. Freeing Misha to flap around.
chris107: Cold?
chris107: wb Sauns
Smon: No, mostly pain esp in my arms/wrists/fingers
sandor sunneson: Hungover??
Smon: no
saunatonttu: okay, i think i have sent the recruiting PMs for the day
sandor sunneson: oooh, doesn't sound good. Get well soon
saunatonttu: smon, welcome to join the neo-Lounge
sandor sunneson: if it gets too much, just say Simon
chris107: Ouch
saunatonttu: and pain
sandor sunneson: I need to leave at 09.30ish anyway
chris107: Yeah, don't make yourself poorly.
Smon: I haven't seen any pms
saunatonttu: oh, wait a sec
saunatonttu: i'll resend it
saunatonttu: now?
chris107: @ DM, where will Sandro likely meet us?
Smon: Sandor catches up to Zagaar & Mordred as they approach Stonehell from the east.
Smon: Smon: Passing through scraggly scrub forest, you soon spot a gap in the cliffs... Smon: /roll d6 Smon rolls 1d6 and gets: 1, chris107: Got you Smon: Nothing menaces you as you approach along a game-track, and see ahead the ancient Nerathi wall spanning the east end of the box canyon from n to s. Smon: Two great gaps appear in the wall towards n and s ends, while the central gatehouse seems largely intact. chris107: Misha gracefully swoops around looking for trouble Smon: Rabbits scatter in panic as Misha swoops by. Smon: The hot noon sun beats down overhead. Smon: Misha reports that beyond the ruined wall are the remains of ruined and overgrown buildings in the canyon.

chris107: Is Sandro with us?
sandor sunneson: yes
Smon: The gatehouse doors lie rotting on the ground, beyond a dark tunnel leads through the wall into the canyon.

Smon: /roll d6

sandor sunneson: Sandro will keep to the side of the canyon and go for a root around
Smon: Where are you going Sandor - n or s side?
chris107: Mordred will hang back 100' or so and watch the Monk do his stuff. Misha stashed safely away for now.
sandor sunneson: anyside in the shade
sandor sunneson: say north
sandor sunneson: assuming there is shade, if not south

sandor sunneson: Just a few ruined buildings ahead
Smon: A stone helmet at his side.
chris107: "You have checked them thoroughly for enemies?"
sandor sunneson: Sandor??
chris107: "Why would a sculpure carve the helmet seperately?"
chris107: "You haven't checked anything at all, Sandro, have you?"
