6:51pm 2017-10-16 Smon Has entered the room
6:53pm 2017-10-16 Sandor Sunneson Has entered the room
Sandor Sunneson: evening Simon
Smon: evening Fergus
Sandor Sunneson: all ok with you??
Smon: ok enough to play
Sandor Sunneson: You coming up to Jockland for Christmas?
Sandor Sunneson: Good,
Smon: should be to Edinburgh yup
6:57pm 2017-10-16 chris107 Has entered the room
Smon: hi chris
chris107: Evening Gents
Sandor Sunneson: hi Chris
Smon: I'm putting Ursa & Ajax at 9th, Ajax's online sheet I have was still 8th
chris107: Ursa did get to 9th in session 1245
chris107: 124
chris107: I was tracking it down
Smon: ok good
Smon: Can we just say Ajax has same XP as Ursa?
chris107: No problems with that from my end.
Sandor Sunneson: yeah
Smon: How much is that?
chris107: Sorry, I didn't make a note, was a touch over minimum for 9th in session 124
chris107: I got sidetracked rolling a Runequest character with Sauna after that.
Smon: LOL
Sandor Sunneson: I last had him at 42,400
chris107: I can check it out and post it when I get a moment.
chris107: (And make sure that 124 was his last session)
chris107: But unless Prince Sandor gets us outof this mess, it won't matter
Sandor Sunneson: true
Smon: It's 48,000 for L9 +6,000 for last session = 54,000 or so, call it 55,000
chris107: Grand.
Smon: So total is Sandor L10 XP 6K+70K=76K/85K Ajax & Ursa L9 XP 55K/64K
Smon: Everyone 9,000 off levelling
Smon: Seems reasonable
chris107: Then lets bash some brains out!
Smon: 15/4/47 OK the column begins to pass by your hiding place, heading up towards Madcat Mountain to the east along the trail of impaled corpses.
chris107: Ursa hefts the mighty black, Demon Maul.
Sandor Sunneson: We'll stay hidden from the column
chris107: But follows Sandor's orders.
Smon: GM: You stay in hiding watching from the crags as the column of 32 undead 'ghost knights' pass by along the trail beneath, until the last in line disappears around the nearest bend.
Sandor Sunneson: Our mission was to scout a path to Bisgen, I believe we've done that. So can head back to base
Smon: It's about 1pm, from the crags you see ahead broad sweep of the plains that lie between the River Endgate & Onslaught Stream.
chris107: "Isn't that the same direction those Ghost riders were heading in?"
Smon: Behind you the trail winds up through the hills to Madcat Mountain.
Smon: yup
Sandor Sunneson: Yeah,
chris107: "So we find another route?"
Sandor Sunneson: Are there any other ways to go?
chris107: "You tell me."
Sandor Sunneson: yes, how easy are the crags to scale?
Sandor Sunneson: I can't see the crags Chris
chris107: And you're taller than me
Smon: The mountains here are very high and rugged.
Sandor Sunneson: I'm asking the GM, if we were to scale the crags to find another route, are they easy to scale?
Sandor Sunneson:
chris107: (Notsure if it was Sandor or you Fergus, sorry)
Smon: https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLiQ65tQRavW6GWrA-LKHdOxzz_OaKf6ks8f1d9usalh6AO-fgpTrk6hbjx2YdRp_8RZQ4KgmMXDlCpR_yNM6QUzsz9S77UUWVtQXfIlv_JX4ncfaXBUObLb2msdMx41O2VSeaE0bO82k/s640/WESTERN+ALTANIS.jpg
Smon: There is a route to the south, past Skydome Temple to the Pass of Ractuan
Sandor Sunneson: Sandor will look to see if there is a possible path over the crags,
Sandor Sunneson: Ok, we'll head that way
Smon: You can make INT+Prof checks to see anything else; Ursa Stonecunning applies so advtg I'd say
chris107: "The Gnomes of Ractuan are staunch allies."
Sandor Sunneson rolls 1d20 and gets: 12,
Smon: DC 15
chris107 Rolls 1d20+4x2 and gets:
16 (+4) = 20
11 (+4) = 15
Sandor Sunneson: +5=17?
Smon: Looks like there might be a lower area in the peaks about 20 miles or so north of Madcat that might be scalable; it's not covered in ice & snow like the highest peaks anyway.
chris107: 2523?
Sandor Sunneson: Sandor will ask Ursa whether he trusts that Black Sun priestess woman, the one who survived the fight with Fion
Smon: Skydome Temple is held by Arang Tok orcs, you'd have to get past them to reach Ractuan but once in the Pass should be safe.
chris107: "I hardly know her Sandor. Why do you ask?"
Smon: As you are talking, you see a great winged shape flying from the west!
chris107: "She semed like a sweet chit of a lass."
Sandor Sunneson: Sandor feels uncomfortable about her, not that he doesn't trust her. But she was on their side, and now she's supposedly on ours. Wouldn't mind observing her just to make sure she is not up to anything cheeky
chris107: "Down"
Smon: The brass scales of Dyson Logos glitter as he flies east, in your direction.
chris107: "Up!"
Sandor Sunneson: It's Dyson!
chris107: Ursa waves
Sandor Sunneson: Sandor will wave
chris107: Trying to attract his attention.
Smon: Ursa stands and waves, joined by Sandor.
Smon: The dragon spots you, glances around then wheels and sets down on the crags nearby, sending boulders tumbling down the gorge.
Smon: "Hello, friends!"
Smon: The Nerathi priestess Livilla is clinging to his back, looking exhausted.
chris107: "Hi Dyson, you couldn't give us a lift coukld you?Q
Sandor Sunneson: Hello Dyson, we have been sussing out the road to Bisgen, there is a path through the mountains
Smon: "Good news! We've just been to Renth..." he nods happily.
Smon: "Hop on board!"
chris107: "That one?" mOUTHS uRSA LOOKING AT sANDOR
Sandor Sunneson: Sandor will snigger
Smon: Livilla - https://thumbs.dreamstime.com/z/fantasy-priestess-22713410.jpg
Sandor Sunneson: So good to see an old friend Dyson, quite unexpected too
chris107: Ursa clambers on board, he really loves flying.
chris107: "What news from Renth?"
Smon: Livilla waves down at you. "Hello, friends." You join her on the dragon's back and he kicks off from the crags, taking to wing again.
Smon: Dyson: "General Kogol and the Nerathi there will join us!"
Smon: Livilla nods: "Lord Dyson is very persuasive."
Sandor Sunneson: We came across a mind blanker monster, wierd thing,
chris107: "Excellent news! Why we can hit Bisgen from two sides."
Sandor Sunneson: Ajax is lucky to be alive
chris107: "We all are."
Smon: Dyson circles round, heading east over Madcat Mountain.
chris107: "Some wicked construct of Crowfinger's"
Sandor Sunneson: We saw these strange looking undead soldiers on skeletal horses too
Smon: Dyson nods his great head, grumbling.
Smon: "Yes... Crowfinger took the news of his latest defeat ill, it seems. He has been deploying all his Necromantic powers."
chris107: Is Ursa's new maulglowing by the way?
Smon: "Apparently, there was a sacrifice... the young widow of Prince Cormarrin... General Kogol's daughter."
Sandor Sunneson: OOC- Simon, when we played years ago, you used to roll for natural disasters and the likes, such events would think would happen once a year. Maybe do one for Bisgen, Ophelia attacks Bisgen
chris107: "Crowfinger ia a monster!"
Smon: Bisgen has had several disasters this year already - pirate raid, Necromancer apocalypse...
Smon: "Indeed, but his god Zehir approves of such perfidies and has granted him even more power..."
chris107: And more to come...
chris107: "My Lord Hakeem should know of this."
chris107: "Is your own world so beset with danger, Prince Sandor?"
Smon: Dyson passes high over Madcat Mountain, steering well above any undead, then down into Madcat Vale, heading for Hara.
Smon: As the sun lowers over the western mountains Dyson brings you back to Hara, setting down by his house in the central courtyard.
chris107: "Thanks Dyson! That was great!"
Sandor Sunneson: The last I heard a large undead army were defeated by a human alliance. No doubt over time the human alliance will start break down and start fighting. The countries there are much larger and stable, more established, here the politics are different
Smon: The warlords come to meet you - Namelin, Minars & presumably Hakeem.
Smon: Dyson smiles at Ursa. "Thank you."
Smon: He nods cordially at those assembling as Livilla slides down from his brassy back.
Smon: Namelin: "What news, friends?"
chris107: Ursawillstick around and listen in to any news.
Sandor Sunneson: Sandor will explain what they did
Smon: The war leaders listen as Sandor explains what they saw.
Smon: Dyson: "Good news and bad news - the Nerathi of Hara will join us against Bisgen, if we move quickly. But Crowfinger has unleashed powerful Necromantic energies. There will likely still be hard fighting."
Smon: Minars hefts his axe: "Then let us march!"
Smon: Namelin: "Lord Hakeem, what say you?"
Sandor Sunneson: what do we have in terms of resources to attack Bisgen?
chris107: "There will be many deaths, both Nerathi and among the Altani. Could we not look at chopping the headfromthe snake?" Asks Ursa shyly
Smon: Namelin: "The whole army is assembled here - the Ghinarian Lords, Hara and the Altani."
chris107: Hakeem looks at the assembled nobles and listens to his trusted Dwarven friend.
Smon: Dyson: "It could save many lives. But to defeat Crowfinger in his lair would take a Hero..."
Smon: The dragon looks meaningfully at Hakeem.
chris107: Hakeem speaks quietly.
chris107: "We have all sacrificed much to get this far. We have laid the foundations of an empire that could rule peacefully for a thousand years."
chris107: "But it will do no good if there is no one left to rule. "
chris107: "We were lucky in our last battle."
chris107: "There are no grieving widows or orphened children."
chris107: "Prince Sandor, Ajax, Count Shielbiter, Ursa. I have no right to ask you to risk all... but."
chris107: "Could we slip unseen into the serpent's lair?"
Sandor Sunneson: Defeat will be a temporary set back if it happens, but we will always be in a positon to fight back, this is a big place this world, and the opportunity to fight back if defeated is always there. I believe we can win, and am happy to assist you if required Hakeem.
Smon: Dyson: "I think the city well guarded, both in magic and walls."
Sandor Sunneson: What about through the sewers
Sandor Sunneson: Or as traders
Smon: Namelin: "I have a map, though it is old..."
chris107: "Minars, would the Altani horde stand for this? They must be ready for war and riches?"
Smon: Minars: "They have already waited some time. If they do not march soon, they will want to return to their own lands."
chris107: "Sarene slipped through." Grins Hakeem
chris107: "Then we must decide now. Strike with all our might and have the help of Renth also."
chris107: "Or risk all on a desperate bid to finish Crowfinger in his lair?"
Smon: A servant brings Namelin the map - https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQ3O65HqGDjq8CsugaGSHWxKloYkcS6b510ZLIgnamPaLLy7qtD_gGd3SCvSLiI8rsz-yKQ1sJuKB55bSxK7sew-nVuZ4PObD5oWr9Wz87aIswsfTJ6b61Jf-DItG5i2nElhQrV3OX0j8/s1600/Bisgen.bmp
chris107: Hakeem and Ursa both vote to save lives and strike at Crowfinger.
Smon: Dyson: "I doubt many merchants visit there now. Necromancers, perhaps."
chris107: "I'd look ridiculous in a pointy hat." says Hakeem with a straight face.
Sandor Sunneson: Where is Crowfinger based? In the Lords Palace?
chris107: His heart aches to see the Temple of Bondorr."
Smon: Livilla: "The Lord's Palace seems likely. But he also has lairs to the north, among the blood cairns of the Carnelian Plain, whereoft he raised legions of Ghouls."
chris107: "When we were looking for Three Swords Isle, far to the south."
Smon: Dyson: "Judging by the storm we saw, he must be in Bisgen right now - though he might flee if an army approached. Mages are slippery - I know, I was one!"
chris107: "One of their prestesses enspelled us with the grce of her goddess."
chris107: "If we were to slip from our ships, we would not drown as we could breath water."
Sandor Sunneson: How wide is the river?
chris107: "Could we simply walk into Bisgen along the bottom of the rivers?"
Sandor Sunneson: and how deep?
Smon: Minars: "Varek Tigerclaw sent his best man to swim the stream to Bisgen - he was never seen again. There are booms on the water. Nets too, perhaps."
chris107: "It took Sarene's pirate ships.."
Smon: you can make an int check hakeem
chris107: "Just a thought." Hakeem shrugs.
chris107 rolls 1d20 and gets: 3,
chris107: Dim
Smon: Hakeem wasn't paying too much attention as Sarene spoke of her raid.
chris107: A bright idea dawns on Hakeem. That or a mad one.
Sandor Sunneson: Hakeem had a late night looking after his son and can't remember
chris107: "If I am slain..." He starts uncertainly
chris107: I am resurected at a shrine of Bondorr.
Smon: Minars scoffs: "You killed Kainos!"
Sandor Sunneson: Will your body not be transferred to a quarantined area?
Smon: "Oh. Yes."
chris107: "What if I were to choose the shrine of Bondorr in Bisgen?"
Smon: Ernsorn Blue scratches his chin thoughtfully. "When the Nerathi first slew Varek Tigerclaw, the Armour of Bondor brought him back at the Temple in Bisgen."
chris107: "That is only a stones throw from the Lord's Palace."
Sandor Sunneson: Is the temple still standing? Could it have been taken over and destroyed by CF?
Smon: Livilla: "But the Temple has long since been desecrated."
Smon: Ernsorn: "Hmm. Bondor might disagree."
chris107: "It is a desperate plan. But if our armies were to be doing battle and mighty Hakeem was to fall. Crowfinger may be off his guard?"
Smon: Minars: "It is an insane plan!"
chris107: "Then we march with all our forces on Bisgen and rely on the forces of Renth joining us?"
Smon: Dyson: "You know, I have not been awake in this world and time very long, but I did meet a wise lady in a place called Thusia?"
chris107: Ursa and Hakeem smile.
Smon: Namelin: "Lady Meda."
chris107: "Lady Meda is wise indeed."
Smon: Dyson: "Yes. She seemed to know... a lot more than anyone else. Forgive my presumption my lords..."
Smon: He smiles smugly down at them.
chris107: "Not bad tits for an old bird either..." Ursa blushes, not relising he was speaking outloud.
Smon: "But perhaps she should be consulted?"
Smon: Minars laughs. "I like yon dwarf!"
chris107: He grins sheepishly.
Smon: Namelin: "We are not children, dragon... We can make our decisions. But I'll meet with her if you wish."
chris107: Hakeem is eager to follow Dyson's advice. A trip to see lady Meda in Thusia would mean an excuse to see malenn and Hassan.
Smon: He looks at Hakeem. Minars: "Well it had best be quick, some of the tribesmen are already looking to leave here."
Smon: GM: You can spend the night at Hara then fly south to Thusia next morning?
chris107: "Aye, Minars. They have been starved of battle."
7:58pm 2017-10-16 chris107 Has exited the room
Sandor Sunneson: Sounds like a good plan
Smon: Namelin Minars Livilla & Namelin's sister Amanda join Hakeem Ursa Sandor & Ajax on Dyson's back, his full capacity.
7:58pm 2017-10-16 chris107 Has entered the room
Smon: Namelin Minars Livilla & Namelin's sister Amanda join Hakeem Ursa Sandor & Ajax on Dyson's back, his full capacity.
Sandor Sunneson: Amanda? she a fighter?
Smon: no
Smon: diplomat
Smon: She was the one persuaded Hakeem he needed to rule
chris107:
Smon: Sorry Anna Bronze
Smon: not doing great today
Sandor Sunneson: ah ok, makes sense now
Sandor Sunneson: off we go to Thusia, encounter anything?
Smon: I should not post w/out checking names
chris107: I pity t if we do
Smon: /roll d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets: 1,
Smon: Wild mastodons scatter as Dyson Logos flies overhead.
Smon: The short 50 mile trip south to Thusia, you are there before lunchtime.
Smon: Malenn rushes forward to greet Hakeem, carrying little Hassan.
Sandor Sunneson: great way to travel,
chris107: Hakeem reciprocates
Smon: Meda is there with Damne her weaponmaster.
Smon: Meda: "Welcome milords. What brings you?"
chris107: "We seek wise council."
Smon: Dyson: "We seek advice... Hakeem here wants to die."
Smon: Malenn: "Hakeem?!"
chris107: "Only for a bitmy love."
chris107: He shrugs playfully
Smon: Dyson explains the current political situation to Meda, and the need to deal with Crowfinger.
Smon: Meda: "Come, let us lunch. I must think on this, and pray to Mycr."
Smon: Malenn holds Hakeem very tight as you enter Malenn's hall.
Sandor Sunneson: Sandor will ask Hakeem if he would find it beneficial to use his sword if combating
Sandor Sunneson: CF?
chris107: Ursa to Sandor "Your realm sounds much saner than this one."
Smon: Meda's Hall
chris107:
chris107: "Thanks Sandor, but I kind of have a sword."
Sandor Sunneson: It's about leaving this place at the right time Ursa he will say to him quietly, you are always we3lcome to join me
Smon: Meda listens and thinks. "Sarene never dared enter Bisgen itself - she raided the estates just to the south. The town is infamously well defended, even without the Necromancer's magic."
Sandor Sunneson: I know you do, but this fine weapon against spellcasters excells like something I've never seen
Sandor Sunneson: Just ask Ajax
Smon: LOL
Sandor Sunneson: Ajax sticks the Vs at Sandor
chris107: hehe
chris107: "I'm kind of attached to this one. But thanks anyway."
Smon: Meda: "I do not believe Bondor's armour can resurrect you at a desecrated shrine - and death is never to be treated lightly. Oftentimes it claims back its own in short time."
Sandor Sunneson: And then there was that wierd midndblanking thing too, I doubt we would have overcome him with standard weapons, would you agree Ursa? Ok, no worries, just trying to help
chris107: "Then we must risk the lives of thousands again?"
chris107: Ursa looks confused (sorry Fergus, you've lost me?)
Smon: Meda: "Perhaps not... Livilla says that Crowfinger likely resides in the Lord's Palace. If one could scale the walls or the river-boom undetected one might hope to reach it... I do not know."
Smon: She shrugs sadly.
Sandor Sunneson: (The mindblank monster we beat, I doubt we would have won had Sandor and Ursa just had a normal enchanted weapon)
Smon: Meda: "Ajax, do you have the power of Invisibility?"
Sandor Sunneson: (as it was a spellcaster, we were fortunate to have spellbane)
Sandor Sunneson: yes, I do
chris107: (Oh, sorry Fergus, it didn't click.)
Sandor Sunneson: (nw )
Sandor Sunneson: Could cast it on 3 people
Smon: Meda: "A powerful caster might cloak several warriors in Invisibility, yes."
Smon: 4 with your new level 5 slot
Sandor Sunneson: and it will last an hour
Smon: Dyson: "It also works on dragons..."
chris107: "You would join us?"
Sandor Sunneson: I could also cast polymorph on someone, they could take the appearance of a crow and fly into the city?
Smon: Meda: "A small group of four might pass invisibly over the walls and reach the Palace undetected."
Smon: rem you get 1 Concentration at a time
Sandor Sunneson: or something like that, or perhaps a Ghinarian Swallow
chris107: "It has to be worth a try?"
Smon: Dyson has his head poked in the door. "I confess, this Crowfinger makes me nervous... But I'm willing to take you there."
chris107: (Bit slow this end, just cooking supper)
Smon: "If I land you on the palace roof, should get past most of the guards. Then three of you leap off me, deal with Crowfinger, back on and home!"
Smon: He grins.
Smon: Meda smiles up at Dyson. "Your courage does you credit, my lord."
chris107: "Works for me."
Smon: Namelin: "So, three... Hakeem, Ajax, and one other?"
chris107: "Prince Sandor?"
Sandor Sunneson: is it better to have a fighter or MU?
Smon: Well you need Ajax for Meda's plan.
Sandor Sunneson: Is Ajax there to make us invisible, he will then need to hide to retain concentration?
Smon: Anyone who attacks becomes visible
chris107: "Ajax and Prince sandor then?"
chris107: "They will have the chance to go down in history!"
Sandor Sunneson: Ok,
Sandor Sunneson: Sandor asks if he is reduced to below 0HP can his body be transferred back to Thusia? lol
chris107: "Ah! He jests! I know Prince Sandor fears death not a jot!"
Smon: Namelin: "Well, it seems a good plan. Best go soon as you've recovered from your scouting."
Smon: GM: Can skip forward to end of long rest & depart Hara?
chris107: (I bet he thinks it's a good plan, if we fail he's no worse off and will be top dog)
Sandor Sunneson: Are there any other enemy we should be aware of?
chris107: You okay with the plan Fergus?
Smon: Or you stay in Thusia a few days, Hakeem gets some quality time w Malenn & Hassan?
Sandor Sunneson: Yeah I guess so,
chris107: we can make another plan if you're not.
Smon: Namelin puts a hand on Ajax's shoulder. "Be of good cheer, mage. You'll go down in history!"
Sandor Sunneson: he seems to be an extremely high level MU, was hoping it would be more a larger group of 6/7 with Ursa, Namelin perhaps,
Smon: brb
chris107: Then I'm happy to work on that Fergus.
chris107: we are 9/10 now, what kind of level did you have in mind?
chris107: For I fear time is short and we will have to let loose the dogs of war on Crowfinger
Sandor Sunneson: I guess I'm historically used to playing 1e, and a wizard like CF would take out anything with a 20d6 fireball
Smon: If you have an alternate plan feel free to suggest it.
chris107: I have no problem waiting but I don't think Crowfinger or the Altani will. I think Sandor, Ursa and co must go a seperate direction if they want to grow in power.
Sandor Sunneson: Ajax can cast one L5 as he is now L9, could he cast scry to find out more about Bisgen?
Smon: Meda: "I believe Crowfinger is employing rituals of the Ilhiedrin Codex... to maintain them he is likely tied to the epicentre."
Smon: You can add it to your spell book after a week's study, then cast it. That'll be your level 5 slot gone for a week.
Smon: Namelin: "What damned fool let the Ilhiedrin Codex fall into that bastard's hands!" he thumps the table.
Smon: Meda just smiles slightly.
chris107: I've given it my best shot.Happy togo with what ever you want to do Fergus. But we must put the wheels in motion or loose all.
Sandor Sunneson: By tied to the epicentre? What does that mean? I know Ajax would prob know but I don't lol
chris107: Somewhere a Hobbit feels very guikty
Smon: Has to stay where he is at the middle of the ritual.
Sandor Sunneson: This is Hakeem's world, if he wants to do this mission, lets do it, Sandor would probably more see a big battle as that was meant to happen last time, but if not, lets do this mission
Sandor Sunneson: ok, thanks for that Simon
chris107: Ursa speak, uncertainly
Sandor Sunneson: don't think the scrying spell is much use
chris107: "This Crowfinger, he's only a wizard isn't he? No offence."
Sandor Sunneson: continue playing whilst I find a L5 spell
chris107: "But even I could gut a wizard if I got close enough."
Sandor Sunneson: You did with Fion
chris107: "Does it really need the God Slayer to do this?"
Smon: Dyson: "I fear with the Codex, he may have.... transcended... mere wizardry."
chris107: "Why don't you, me and Ajax go sort this out?"
Smon: Dyson: "Well, getting killed by a Dwarf would be quite embarrassing, I suppose."
chris107: !If these big wigs here are marching on Bisgen, he won't be expecting the likes of us to pop in."
chris107: "His eyes and all eyes will be on the Godslayer and his armies."
Smon: Meda is looking thoughtful. "Something... Dyson, what you said about transcendence. Could Crowfinger be seeking Apotheosis as a Lich?"
chris107: "And you said it yourself Prince Sandor. Your wee sword does hate wizards..."
Smon: OOC It feels weird me playing all the high INT characters while the PCs sharpen their swords.
Smon: Meda looks over at Hakeem. "It's true that a distraction might serve us well."
chris107: Wellthere's no point us playing Wizards with the long rest rules
chris107: We're better off just kiling stuff.
chris107: Not just a pretty face, Ursa.
Smon: Barb rages are no better than spell slots if you're not 20th.
chris107: Yup, I agree
Smon: Minars: "So the army does march? Good!"
Smon: Namelin: "Aye... it's best we establish a presence west of the mountains."
chris107: "If Prince Sandorlikes my plan?" Asks cunning Ursa
Sandor Sunneson: Mahabarat style battle coming uop
Sandor Sunneson: I like everything you do Ursa
Smon: Namelin: "Then as we approach Bisgen, Dyson and his team strike at the snake!"
chris107: (Sandor and Ursa get the laurels for a change and a chance at fame and a load of XP)
chris107: Hakeem looks happy
Sandor Sunneson: cool, lets do it
chris107: "Agreed?"
Smon: Meda looks surprised. "It... does seem a good plan. Crowfinger's attention will surely be on Lord Hakeem, not... a dwarf."
chris107: "Why you'd be surprised who's attention falls on just a smelly dwarf my Lady." Ursa bow low.
Smon: GM: OK the others will return north to Hara and get the army moving while you finish a long rest, then can fly west on Dyson & join them west of the mountains.
chris107: Brilliant!
Smon: Meda smiles at Ursa. "I hear there is a barmaid here in Thusia who misses you, good sir dwarf."
chris107: A chance for Sandor to really shine here and even Ursa pick up a bit of glory.
chris107: "And I could murder a drink. May I be excused my Lady?"
Smon: "Of course."
Sandor Sunneson: The L5 spells are quite uninspiring, think Ajax will pick cone of cold
chris107: Ursa, grinning leaves for the inn. Hakeem scratches his head "A deep one is yon Dwarf."
Smon: From the inn comes a squeal of delight as Buedra the buxom Altanian barmaid sees her beau.
Smon: Buedra & beer - https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_IZ3UmA_KkBH06J4GRfeIxZ2AE8rvBY7Pf_JLhrpwF8uZcWbySsgZSrfWZNOnSmUfhbK9S21cNawvj8ZoSh7k246fUmgpRx9_UxZWXK3XV_9JMqUIcysltAgjnDSLCqnWZNZ5NMqVlzc/s320/Buedra.png
chris107: Uninspiring? You're a hard one to please
Smon: GM: The next few days pass quickly; Ajax in a training montage of long hours' study, Hakeem with his family, Ursa exercising his mighty weapon...
Sandor Sunneson: Cloudkill that doesn't kill everything on a failed saving throw
chris107: OOC - I think we have a really good plan here.
chris107: (Forget the killing ones)
Sandor Sunneson: totally Chris
chris107: (I'm slowly building up my confidence to play a 5e Wizard)
Smon: From Hara the druid Ernsorn Sends to Hakeem that the army is moving west under Lord Namelin's nominal leadership, to cross Madcat mountain & invade the lands of the Black Sun.
chris107: OOC - And one where Sandor can take the lead!
Smon: Sandor is left pretty much at a loose end, just healing up from the fight with the Oblivion Wight and keeping in shape...
Smon: ...Until 4 days in, there's a flap of wings and Hakeem's sister Queen Laurana lands her griffon on the green, accompanied by 2 amazon griffonriders.
Smon: Laurana: "Hello, Sandor."
Sandor Sunneson: Hello lovely, how are you?
Sandor Sunneson: He will hug the lady
Smon: /fade to black
Unknown Command
Smon: ~fade to black~
Smon: Laurana seems happy to see him.
Smon: Eventually it's time to leave the idyllic village of Thusia once more.
chris107:
chris107: Can Lady Meda tell Ursa more of the Demon Maul?
Smon: Dyson Logos, returned from the north, is on the green. "All aboard for the Black Sun..."
Smon: GM what do you have noted?
9:01pm 2017-10-16 chris107 Has exited the room
Sandor Sunneson: Sandor and Ajax will step aboard
Smon: This Magic +1 maul gleams black and wicked in the light, with a prominent decoration of a leering face, and glows when a Draconic is within 120 feet.
9:01pm 2017-10-16 chris107 Has entered the room
chris107: "I'm really looking forward to flying again, Dyson. Thanks"
Smon: "This Magic +1 maul gleams black and wicked in the light, with a prominent decoration of a leering face, and glows when a Draconic is within 120 feet."
chris107: That's the one.
chris107: "You don't detect any wickedness about it Lady Meda?"
chris107: "Any evil enchantments?"
Smon: Meda: "I'm not sure... do you think the workmanship seems more dwarven than Altanian? I sense no evil, but it is very old - forged to fight the Dragon Lords. It may have additional powers, as yet quiescent. Hmmm..."
Smon: She passes a hand over it. "Scale-Crusher was its name. Definitely dwarf-forged... do not wave it too near Dyson."
chris107: Ursa nods. He will have to take a chance. But he does think it will crush the crowfinger's skull like a sparrow!
chris107: "Oops,of course. I like Master Dyson and wouldn't see any harm befall him."
Smon: "There are ancient tales of a cult of dwarven dragon-slayers... I will consult my books, I may have more when you return."
chris107: "Thankee my lady!"
Smon: Malenn hugs Hakeem goodbye yet again. "Stay safe, my love!"
Smon: Buedra hugs Ursa likewise, seeming to enjoy his manly odour.
chris107: Ursa whistle tunefuly "We're off to see the wizard..."
Smon: (if only Zagaar had met Buedra)
Sandor Sunneson: Sandor will wave at Lauranna if she is still around
Sandor Sunneson: (could yet happen)
Smon: Queen Laurana gives Hakeem a quick goodbye hug then turns to Sandor.
chris107: "Good bye Malenn, keep both of you safe. When next i return it shall be for a good long time."
Smon: Malenn: "I know it."
chris107: (I frightning thought! :PD )
Smon: Laurana: "So, Sandor, off again?"
Smon: She regards him with eyes half-narrowed, hand on thigh.
Sandor Sunneson: Hopefully see you soon your Majesty, you look rather majestic as normal
Smon: "Don't do anything I wouldn't do."
Smon: OOC stopping there
Sandor Sunneson: Yes Ma'am
Sandor Sunneson: thanks Simon, thought it was going to be an epic late nighter
chris107: Cheers Simon, Fergus
chris107: Bed time for me. Early start in the morning. But it looks like we have a concreteplan now
Smon: yeah
Sandor Sunneson: Is there a game tomorrow night?
chris107: G'night to you both
chris107: Not from my end.
Sandor Sunneson: Chris's one?
Smon: zagaar & co tomorrow
Smon: right?
chris107: Possible, I'll have to ask Kyle, thought that was Thursady?
Smon: oh, ok
Smon: thurs is better, let me know
chris107: I'll confirm on the thread
chris107: Will do. G'night all
Sandor Sunneson: You not around tomorrow evening?
