Prisha defeats Dark Naga; gives Kosvar the Elf
News from the north is not so good - Count Shieldbiter & Baroness Sarene have fled Ahyf & the Dragon Dominion with all their followers, heading who knows where. Some even say that Hakeem has abandoned Regency of the Empire to hunt down the traitors...
Sandor Sunneson: So am playing Raven boy tonight
joriandrake: jk
joriandrake: I hears, the ranger
joriandrake: heard*
Smon: earlier session 14/8/47 http://smons.blogspot.co.uk/2018/02/14847-prisha-in-carchimish-after.html
joriandrake: Still have to get Odo on team then can get you too, unless for some reason you're already at Odo
Smon: Smon: Dark Odo's tower - a large and sinister bastion on the cliffs overlooking the Swamp Gate, almost a fortress in itself. Smon: OOC that would be somewhere in the sewers presumably? joriandrake: ooc: indeed, I also suggest he could discuss the polaction with Mealia, Viola and Kym before making the decision of the location joriandrake: Prisha gupls and goes closer, planning to knock if not meeting anyone joriandrake: gulps* Smon: Great black crows roost in the eaves, regarding Prisha with beady eye as she approaches the tower gate. Somehow it seems chill and overcast here, though it was a hot dry season day a moment before.
Smon: https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVEIuQUXc1RPvkRBPweHURwtPoJuaktk-K-ktWeKqhoGRmITFIfrIk-t37erJ2lf7yWnUYAX9Jr7fN1wIJWWnDDNYLqaSu0nqvNzj7caq3Xb6hr-wVQMFt0oqx-VsVEs9Gtsvur4qpnQWY/s640/Carchimish.jpg
Smon: Carchimish map
joriandrake: "the polaction with Mealia" - *location
joriandrake: 100 xp away from lvl9
joriandrake: Prisha approaches and knocks on the gate, if closed.
Smon: GM: Fergus' PC has been sent to find Prisha.
Smon: He sees her ahead as she approaches Dark Odo' tower.
Sandor Sunneson: Kosvar looks confused, he believed he was going to be guarding the Princess as she was to be taken to Hara?
Sandor Sunneson: to find a man
Smon: GM: You were supposed to leave already (at noon, it's approaching 2pm).
joriandrake: *ooc : this Confusion wasn't cast by Prisha
Smon: But Prisha apparently is preoccupied.
Sandor Sunneson: No, he was summoned to be part of the party to protect the Princess, no spell
Sandor Sunneson rolls 1d10 and gets: 7,
Smon: 7x25 = 175g
Smon: gp
joriandrake: ooc: Probably Kosvar was sent exactly because Prisha was busy with something else?
Sandor Sunneson: He'll ask if they will be leaving for Hara to take the Princess, we were meant to leave 2 hours ago
Sandor Sunneson: Kosvar as a wood elf Skandik Ranger, quiet chap who likes to commune with nature
Smon: /roll d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets: 4,
joriandrake: ooc: GM please describe how this meeting happens at the tower, and if Prisha already knows Kosvar
Sandor Sunneson: No, Kosvar was sent to find Prisha to see if they are still leaving for Hara
Smon: GM: Prisha is already knocking the great rusty knocker on the door when she hears a call from behind her, and turns to see a rustic clad Elf bowman approaching.
Sandor Sunneson: Prisha and Kosvar have not met
Smon: The Elf looks confused & agitated.
Smon: /roll d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets: 2,
joriandrake: "Greetings" Prisha bows slightly at the elf "Have you come to meet Odo as well?"
Smon: Prisha hears heavy footsteps from beyond the door, as of someone descending stairs at a limp.
Sandor Sunneson: Kosvar will say no, he was meant to be part of a party heading for Hara protecting the Princess
Smon: "No, I was meant to be part of a party heading for Hara protecting the Princess."
Smon: says the elf.
joriandrake: "Oh, I thought Shea was making necessary changes to the travel preparations. I need to be quick then."
Smon: KOsvar roll INT+Prof
Sandor Sunneson rolls 1d20 and gets: 3,
Sandor Sunneson: +3=6
joriandrake: "Please accept my apology, there is a problam that endangers the town, and I wish to handle it before we travel to Hara."
Smon: THe name Shae sounds familiar, a servant maybe?
Smon: There is the sound of a bolt unlatched, then the great door opens...
joriandrake: "it will be handled at dusk, hopefully. So we can begin the journey then right away."
joriandrake: SHe then turns to the door
Sandor Sunneson: "Be careful if dealing with Odo, there are many rumours going on about her"
Smon: A hideous hunchback looks up at the pair on the doorstep. "...Yes?"
joriandrake: Priusha silently nods
Smon: https://img00.deviantart.net/f470/i/2012/092/6/5/charles_laughton_as_the_hunchback_by_oldschooldan-d4utniw.jpg
joriandrake: She smiles at the hunchback. "Hello, I'm here to meet Odo, I'm Prisha Acharya and I believe she wil be interested in what I have to tell her."
Smon: Roll CHA+Prof DC 20
joriandrake rolls 1d20+7 and gets: 20, (+7) = 27
Sandor Sunneson: lol
Sandor Sunneson:
joriandrake: ooc I wish handling the naga will be with the same roll results
Smon: The hunchback raises an eyebrow, then nods. "Of course. Mistress Prisha! High Priestess of Acharya! Do come in."
joriandrake: "Of Meroya" she corrects him kindly, and steps in
joriandrake: She turns around, and tells the elf "Come in, guard"
Smon: "Of Meroya! Of course! My deepest apologies madam." The hunchback slave beckons you follow him, up a short flight of winding slaves & through a door to a light siting room, glass window looking west over the marshlands.
Sandor Sunneson: Kosvar will follow the Priestess up the stairs
joriandrake: Prisha knows it is her fault that the journes is postponed so she doesn't want the guard be kept waiting alone outside
Smon: The hunchback indicates comfortable chairs by a small table. "Please make yourself comfortable. I shall inform the mistress."
joriandrake: "Nice big tower you got here." Prisha notes as she follows him up a flight of.... slaves?
Smon: (stairs!) He limps out the door and up the stairs, out of sight.
joriandrake: ooc: necromancer slave stairway?
Smon: LOL
Smon: Freudian slip
joriandrake: Prisha carefully stepping o nthe stairs goes up as well, turning for a moment back to see if the man comes with her
Smon: A short time later a blonde haired slave girl enters with a tray of wine goblets & pitcher. "Refreshments milords?"
joriandrake: "Thank you, but no. Is your.... mistress home?"
Smon: She sets out three goblets and pours wine into two.
Smon: "Mistress Odo will be with you shortly. She has been informed."
Smon: The buxom slave girl wears a short crimson tunic.
Sandor Sunneson: "thank you Lady" Kosvar will say but not sip the drink
Smon: She bows and withdraws, following the hunchback back up the stairs.
Smon: Time passes.
Smon: A heron wheels over the distant fens.
Smon: You have a nice view of a watermill on the far bank, the wheel turning slowly.
joriandrake: If there is a window nearby Prisha looks out of it, seeking the isle with her eyes
joriandrake: ooc: slow typing again
Smon: >>The hunchback slave beckons you follow him, up a short flight of winding slaves & through a door to a light siting room, glass window looking west over the marshlands.<<
Smon: After about 15 minutes you hear soft footsteps on the stairs.
joriandrake: ooc: 'west over marshland' wasn't sure if it includes the isle, assumed it would be east of it
joriandrake: Prisha takes a deep breath and prepares for the meeting
Smon: https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVEIuQUXc1RPvkRBPweHURwtPoJuaktk-K-ktWeKqhoGRmITFIfrIk-t37erJ2lf7yWnUYAX9Jr7fN1wIJWWnDDNYLqaSu0nqvNzj7caq3Xb6hr-wVQMFt0oqx-VsVEs9Gtsvur4qpnQWY/s640/Carchimish.jpg
Smon: You can see the waterwheel to the NW; you can't see the Isle of Nymphs from here.
Smon: Would be from a south-facing window
joriandrake: ooc: sorry on map I can't find the tower itself just the writing about it
Smon: It's the westernmost wall tower - white not black
joriandrake: - anyway, Prisha waits for Odo (thanks)
Smon: ~Waiting for Odo~
joriandrake: She assumes that Odo might be either busy, or enjoy keeping visitors waiting
Smon: Finally, the figure of a petite woman in a stained grey work dress appears in the doorway, her arms & hands look newly scrubbed. Faint smell of soap.
Smon: "Hello. I'm Odo. What do you want?"
Smon: She gives you a rather fierce look.
Smon: http://pre11.deviantart.net/6421/th/pre/i/2012/097/9/d/saturnine_by_lostcaradelneil-d4va7f1.jpg
Sandor Sunneson: Kosvar will bow "Your natural beauty is as the rumours confirm" he'll say
joriandrake: Prisha nods and smiles at her. "Greetins, I'm Prisha Acharya, and I have a little situation which I believe would also interest you. It's about the Dark Naga, and the opportunity to get rid of it, also likely regain your painting." Prisha feels like the woman would prefer to be quick to the point and leaves out the usual pleasantries
Sandor Sunneson rolls 1d20 and gets: 5,
Smon: CHA+Prof rolls
Sandor Sunneson: +4=9
joriandrake rolls 1d20+7 and gets: 2, (+7) = 9
joriandrake: ooc: eh, it is still about her painting and such o.O
Smon: Odo gives Kosvar a dismissive glance, then turns to Prisha. "What the Hell are you mumbling about?"
Smon: "I'm in the middle of very delicate enchantments... Do you have ANY IDEA how hard it is to bond a dwarven greatsword to an Amazon Warblade?!"
joriandrake: "my apology we came unannounced but today I have to leave town and only have a short time to handle the naga. I heard man called Ziv the Sly stole an enchanted painting from you, and that this man serves a Dark Naga, which I'm after"
Smon: /roll d20+7
Smon rolls 1d20+7 and gets: 19, (+7) = 26
joriandrake: She pauses. "I thught you would be interested in regaining it, if true"
Smon: Odo looks thoughtful. "So... You know who stole my painting. Very good. Bring it back and I'll reward you well - 500 gold? An enchanted weapon? Bracers of Defence?"
joriandrake: "Hmm... that sounds lovely, I wondered however if you could actually join and aid against the Naga as a 'reward', but I assume you can't leave for longer time if you're enchanting something?" Prisha pauses again. Awaiting the reaction
Smon: "I warn you though, I have a serious backlog. I've not even started on the kobold's scimitar yet..."
joriandrake: "Hm, would access to an Alchemist's potions and equipment aid in your work, make it faster?"
Smon: Odo nods. "Smart, aren't you?" She raises an eyebrow. "I'm currently bonding the greatest weapon of the legendary dwarven master smith Durgeddin to the Warblade of an Amazon who's expecting it ready in less than two hours... I haven't got time to talk."
Smon: "Alchemist... Oh, you're Viola's new Priestess, aren't you? Goodkind told me the silly girl had taken up with some kind of 'Love' cult."
Smon: brb 10 mins dinner
joriandrake: "So be it, thank you for your time. Perhaps we can discuss later a mutually beneficial relationship between you and the temple of Meroya. I don't wish to disturb you further, and will try to go after the Dark Naga without your aid... although perhaps you could help with some trinket against it." then as hearing her comment "Indeed, I'm a Priestess of Meroya, goddess of love, benevolence... secret knowledge among other things"
joriandrake: "So oyu also know Kym then? Oh, excuse me, I really don't wish to hold you from your work" Prisha hopes the mention of 'secret knowledge' and 'beneficial relationship' might get her a bit more receptive before she leaves
joriandrake: ooc: stressed out workeing women are usually not fun and quick to bite
Smon: back
Smon: >>ooc: stressed out workeing women are usually not fun and quick to bite<<
Smon: Odo: "Naga... Get some anti-toxin off Viola... Kym Goodkind? Yes, she brings me the Reagants Viola makes, and buys the trash items I make to sell in the marketplace. A mutually beneficial relationship."
joriandrake: "Probably even better if sold at a temple, larger customer reach" She doesn't react to 'trash' "...however, I probably took up already much of your time, my apologies, perhaps we can talk later again, and hopefully even without your aid I can find that painting and without any harm caused to it"
Sandor Sunneson: Kosvar will comment during a pause, "I may come back to you at somepoint to ask if you could make me some magic armour, of course at the correct cost"
Smon: Odo glances to the door, then back to Kosvar & Prisha. "The painting... it's called The Course of Empire. I can't tell you how it will appear to you, but the label is clear. 500 gold satisfactory?"
Smon: CHA+Prof K
Sandor Sunneson rolls 1d20 and gets: 9,
joriandrake rolls 1d20+7 and gets: 3, (+7) = 10
Sandor Sunneson: +3=12
joriandrake: "it does"
joriandrake: Prisha understands she can't get more out of her currently
Smon: Odo glares at Kosvar. "Do you have ANY IDEA how long it takes to enchant ARMOUR?!"
joriandrake: "Please excuse us, we're be out of your hair" Prisha quickly stands up, bows, and signals Kosvar to leave
Smon: Odo nods. "Good day. Melisa will see you out."
Sandor Sunneson: "I will ask the Question fair lady, if you don't have the time just say so, I also need the armour at the moment too, sorry it was not a demand, more thinking out loud"
Smon: DC 15 CHA check Kosvar
Sandor Sunneson rolls 1d1 and gets: 1
Sandor Sunneson rolls 1d20 and gets: 7,
Sandor Sunneson: +3=10
Smon: Odo snaps at Kosvar: "GET OUT!!"
Sandor Sunneson: Kosvar will leave the building
Smon: She turns and storms out, yelling: "Melisa! Show them out!"
joriandrake: As we go downstairs Prisha tells Melisa "I assume you also know Kym? Could you please notify us through her when we're back in town, and when Odo isn't this.... stressed?"
Smon: The blonde slave hurries up.
Smon: She's in a loincloth now - Prisha probably doesn't recognise the look of an 'Oriax girl' yet https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BmKdWqQIQAAdH1x.jpg:large
joriandrake: "I underastand this wasn't the idea ltiming for a chat, or actually, for anything"
joriandrake: ooc: indded she doesn't, nor Earthling girs
Smon: Melisa nods to Prisha. "Yes mistress, I'm sorry. I'll pass a message to Miss Goodkind."
joriandrake: argh, I need to buy coffee when i can :/
joriandrake: "Well, don't worry, perhaps your mistress Odo only needs some good lovin to release steam. I will consdier how to help her about that..."
joriandrake: Prisha thinks about mealia, although that isn't likely obvious from the comment
Smon: Melisa raises an eyebrow at the 'good lovin' comment. "I wouldn't advise that, mistress."
Sandor Sunneson: Kosvar will ask if we should go and find the Princess
joriandrake: "Well... I am a priestess to a goddess of Love" She smiles at Melisa "So obviously this is among the things I consider to solve a problem with"
Smon: Melisa glances down at her torso, stained in some kind of bluish residue. "I was chosen for my prowess in enchantment, not for ...you know."
Smon: Prisha can roll CHA+prof
joriandrake: as they leave the tower she bids farewell to melisa
joriandrake rolls 1d20+7 and gets: 7, (+7) = 14
Smon: Melisa bids you goodbye politely.
Smon: The great door shuts behind you with a firm clang.
Smon: The ravens eye you, looking particularly smug.
joriandrake: Then she turns to Kosvar. "I will require your aid agaisnt the Dark Naga, not just the princess but the king, Carchamish itself is at risk if not dealt with. THis is why we didn't leave yet, and I wouldn't wish the princess to risk her life... although we do have a plan to catch the naga unprepared, and hopefully banish it easily, but I hoped Odo might be able to join us to make it more simple. A priest of Apollo already agreed to help."
Sandor Sunneson: What is a dark Naga Kosvar will ask?
joriandrake: She sighs "once the Naga is done with we can leave right awaqy, if we find Odo's painting that is nice, but not the priority, I don't do this for some magic trinket or reward, in fact, you can have the offered reward if you help"
joriandrake: Prisha explains that the Dark naga is a vicious snake fiend, usually a spellcaster and immune to poison, while itself being poisonous
joriandrake: She starts to go towards the town as she talks
Smon: GM: You walk down the street, into warm sunlight again.
Sandor Sunneson: Kosvar "The Princess as far as I'm aware is getting ready to leave, I was told to find you as you were meant to come along I think?"
Smon: About 3pm now.
joriandrake: "It is said the dark naga baths in an old bath house's warm waters at dark, we hope to get it there alone without its kobold and human followers"
joriandrake: Prisha nods "We should leave as soon as possible, but I can't just leave such a creature behind when I have the best chance to Banish it from this plane of existence"
Sandor Sunneson: Kosvar "Maybe do it when we get back, could get some of the King's Guards to help defeat it too"
Sandor Sunneson: Kosvar will make his way back to where the Princess and party are
Smon: GM: You reach the market square, the Palace on south side, the Harper's Cauldron Inn on north side.
joriandrake: Prisha sighs, as there is still time he will talk with the princess and tell her about the situation
joriandrake: she
Smon: Shae the blonde Skandik slave girl is waiting for you on the Palace steps.
joriandrake: "Hello Shae, where is Lyssana?"
Smon: https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5xLAz6mlPVQL_p6PAzn-R0_PRbm5n-DKPu4LrfkooHsUMiJAKhCXR0MD1btTKfQ44boIgjQrx2UGxDg1u70HknvjtRDpqm_YWwlQ2JYNwJKs8KES0Z_dAK7is6YlQjgjJZV69idod-2ZB/s320/Shae+the+Handmaid.jpg
Sandor Sunneson: Kosvar will bow at the topless blond
Smon: "Mistress Prisha! The Princess is inside. I have informed her we won't be leaving until tomorrow."
Sandor Sunneson rolls 1d20+4 and gets: 16, (+4) = 20
Smon: Shae eyes the Viking elf
Smon: Approvingly
joriandrake: "Thank you. I was wondering if I did a mistake as Kosvar showed up for me. I have to talk to her.
Smon: She curtsies.
Smon: Shae turns to Kosvar. "I'm very sorry Master Kosvar, you weren't informed in time. The Princess asks if you need assistance,Mistress Prisha?"
Sandor Sunneson: Kosvar "I'm known as Kosvar the Raven Shae, good to meet you, could you find out if I have a bed for the night please"
Smon: Shae bows to Kosvar. "Please follow me and I will find you quarters."
joriandrake: Prisha goes inside and finds lyssana, tells her about the Dark naga, why she doesn't wish to endanger the princess in bringing her against it, and ask if Kosvar, or others could join against the snake "It doesn't need to be an army, one or two men, orwomen should be enough"
Smon: GM: You split up as Prisha goes in search of Lyssana, Shae escorts Kosvar to a small but clean single-bed room in the barracks area. Shae: "Will this be satisfactory master?"
Sandor Sunneson: Kosvar "Thank you Shae, I am not your Master, just call me Kosvar"
Sandor Sunneson: Kosvar will say "Maybe I'll see you around later"
Smon: Prisha finds Lyssana in her quarters; the guard steps aside to let her enter. Lyssana looks up from lounging on the bed in her underwear -smiles, "Prisha! Welcome." She listens. "A Dark Naga?! Yes of course Kosvar can aid you - you should seek out Oghrim. He knows how to kill monsters."
Smon: Shae smiles, looks Kosvar up and down. "Yes, Kosvar." She turns to leave, then glances back and gives him a wink, before sashaying off.
joriandrake: "Good idea, with Oghrim at our side this should work out. Thank you, and sorry about postponing the journey." She kisses Lyssana "We might be able to travel already this night, but it depends on the resulls against the naga."
Sandor Sunneson: Kosvar blushes and makes his way back to Prisha
Smon: Lyssana kisses Prisha back passionately. "Stay awhile..."
joriandrake: Prisha will come out of the Princess' room to look for Oghrim
joriandrake: or not
Smon: LOL
joriandrake: Prisha stays for a hour, then comes out of the room
Smon: By the time Kosvar locates the Princess's quarters and enters in search of Prisha, the ladies are entwined in amorata...
Smon: Lyssana looks past Prisha's shoulder as the elven Ranger enters the boudoir. "...Oh!"
joriandrake: Prisha blushes if he comes into the room "...well, this was unexpected"
Sandor Sunneson: Kosvar will enter, "Are you sure it's a male you are looking for your majesty in terms of amour?"
joriandrake: She hurriedly gets her clothes up and dives behind the bed to dress up
Smon: Lyssana grabs up the silk sheet to cover her naked form. "Hello there..."
Sandor Sunneson: Kosvar will say "Good to see you are looking well Your Majesty"
Smon: https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2Pz9kb3jisXkGZIVEw-F-QUtpaakmK1cba4QMpijEY-ekbJupm49sEikoQQ8y6Dykum92OnVzcSHq_GpJQbReJdaa2VGH53T0IBugSUFz_3ihpCA_gWxqRoovGQ6eIAnVXG4mrocO5bs/s400/10646_LisaForward_13_123_106lo.jpg
joriandrake: Gathering her resolve Prisha comes out and notes "She indeed looks well, especially since the curse was lifted"
Smon: Lyssana crimsons. "I am very well, thank you..."
Smon: L: "So, you are assisting Prisha against this demon snake?"
Sandor Sunneson rolls 1d20+4 and gets: 7, (+4) = 11
joriandrake: "The princess and I got to an agreement about solving the naga problem before we leave, she suggested to get you and Oghrim for the endeavour"
Smon: The Princess stands up, still holding the sheet, as Prisha dresses behind her.
Sandor Sunneson: Kosvar "I was hired I believe by your Father to guard you as part of the party going to Hara, I thought we were leaving today"
joriandrake: "...for aid agaisnt the fiend, imean"
Smon: Lyssana: "He is our mightiest warrior."
Smon: L: "I'm sorry about the delay... I'm sure we can compensate you."
Sandor Sunneson: K "I will give it an attempt, I am a better archer than I am a swordsman, but we can;'t have such an evil beast living so close buy"
Smon: Lyssana nods, smiling encouragingly. "That's the spirit!"
Smon: L: "Now, if you'll excuse me...?"
joriandrake: Prisha nods, less red in her cheeks now "There is no meaning in leaving for a diplomatic visit to protect the town, if behind us this dark naga can destroy the town meanwhile"
Sandor Sunneson: K will bow
joriandrake: "Thank you Kosvar... and hoipefull we won't even need to really fight it"
Smon: Lyssana looks at Kosvar.
Sandor Sunneson: K will look at her and smile
Smon: A snigger comes from the guard at the door, out of sight.
Smon: L: "Is there something else?"
Sandor Sunneson: K "where can I find Sir Ohgrim?"
Smon: Lyssana: "Oh, he's probably, er, training the new girl, slave Sumata... Look, er, I'll send the guard to fetch him. Guard?"
Smon: The guard pokes his head round the corner, grinning at the sight of Princess Lyssana covered only in the bedsheet.
joriandrake: "Why not go with the guard Kosvar? I catch up soon with you"
Sandor Sunneson: K "You have a nice place here, nice tapestry too" he'll say looking at the tapestry on the wall
Smon: Lyssana: "Guard, go tell Oghrim to meet us here in ...15 minutes."
Smon: DC 20 check
Smon: Kosc
joriandrake: Prisha holds back a giggle
Sandor Sunneson: K "I don't know my way around here, was waiting for him as he walks out the toom
Sandor Sunneson: room
Sandor Sunneson rolls 1d20+4 and gets: 2, (+4) = 6
joriandrake: When Kosvar finally leaves the room Prisha bursts out giggling. "Well, this was interesting. My elven breathren might be worth to get to know better, despite being half-them I didn't meet many elves other than the old woman who taught me their language."
Smon: The guard nods. "Yes ma'am" he leaves, followed by Kosvar, Lyssana glaring daggers after him.
Smon: Lyssana rolls her eyes. "agggh!" she says, half-jokingly.
Smon: "Now, where were we ...?"
Smon: ~fade to black~
joriandrake: "nice tapestry!" and she can't hold back, laughing, rolling on the bed holding her belly
joriandrake rolls 1d20+10 and gets: 4, (+10) = 14
Smon: Lyssana bursts out laughing too. 15 minutes later...
joriandrake: She was too preoccupied with laughing to finish this well
Smon: Lyssana Prisha Kosvar & Oghrim assemble in an anteroom near the princess's boudoir.
joriandrake: whew "Next time... let's lock the door"
Smon: Oghrim is hefting his massive weapon.
Smon: Lyssana: "Then people couldn't get in..."
joriandrake: ooc: into Sumata?
Smon:
joriandrake: ahem... Prisha and Lyssana being proper and dresed discuss the situation with Oghrim
Smon: Not currently!
Smon: https://img00.deviantart.net/b2de/i/2009/273/c/8/old_warrior_by_master_berling.jpg
joriandrake: "So, as Kosvar and Helmund will already join us, and hopefully I can banish the naga without a problem, but your presence would be welcome to have an advantage if battle starts"
Sandor Sunneson: K "Where does this beast hang out?, lets put this thing out of its misery"
Smon: Oghrim: "So, demon snake, charm and poison, can't die?"
joriandrake: Prisha nods "Pretty much, We hope to find it alone, then Banish it with spell and ritual"
joriandrake: Prisha avoids the mention of Odo
joriandrake: "The princes said you would be a great asset"
Smon: Oghrim grunts. "Aye. I will be. But yon Helmund is no monster-killer."
joriandrake: "No, but he can help with healing or other magic against the naga"
Smon: Oghrim nods grimly. "Tell him to hang back when the fighting starts. I don't want his fancy-boy weeping over his corpse."
joriandrake: Prisha nods "Didn't plan him to be on the front"
Smon: Oghrim nods. "Well, I'm ready when you are. Sumata will just have to wait."
joriandrake: Prisha, Oghrim, and Kosvar will then prepare, prisha hands the vial of antivenom to Oghrim "You might need it as first line warrior"
Smon: GM: About 5.30 now so 30 minutes to dusk
joriandrake: Then when everyone ready, they go to the kobold 'inn'
Sandor Sunneson: Kosvar gets his bow and arrows ready
Smon: Oghrim laughs at the sight of the anti-toxin. "I'm a dwarf. They make that stuff from my blood."
Smon: GM: You set off...
joriandrake: Prisha politely reminds him of the drinking contest, and that if the vial won't be necessary it can be returned to Viola
Smon: Even in small town Carchimish, finding a good kobold restaurant can be surprisingly hard...
Smon: Roll Survival WIS+Prof DC 12
Sandor Sunneson rolls 1d20 and gets: 4,
Smon: (dwarves have advtg poison saves, same thing the anti-toxin grants)
Sandor Sunneson: +1=5
Smon: These "building" things are very confusing to Kosvar.
joriandrake rolls 1d20+6 and gets: 10, (+6) = 16
joriandrake: Prisha holds on to the vial then, but tells Kosvar and Oghrim where to find it if she's taken out
joriandrake: also where her healing potion is
Smon: But Prisha soon spots some kobold street-sweepers who point her the way to the Rampant Roach.
Smon: You arrive just a little late, a good crowd of kobolds already gathering for dinner at the low tables.
joriandrake: "The last fellow of our little adventuring party waits here, a paladin."
Smon: Boarded up windows create a cavern atmosphere.
Smon: Jars of fire beetle glands at each table glow softly.
joriandrake: Not wasting any more time Prisha looks for GS
Smon: also great appetisers!
joriandrake: (and she intentionally ignores the sights as she doesn't want to puke)
Smon: The golden armoured, golden-scaled kobold paladin is in conversation with the tallest person in the room, Helmund, now bedecked in stout chainmail & shield.
joriandrake: "Hello, I see you two already met up, sorry for being a bit late. I gathered a few friends, helpers"
Smon: Goldscale sees you and nods happily. "You have come! Good!"
joriandrake: Prisha tells Helmund to stay back if battle happens, and tells the t wo where the healing potion and antitoxin will be stored
Smon: Oghrim eyes the kobolds. "Last time I saw this many kobolds... well let's just say the Experience was a pleasure for some."
Smon: The kobolds glare nervously at the Dwarf.
joriandrake: "They're not the enemy" Prisha kindly smiles at Oghrim "In fact, defeating the Dark naga will ensure peace"
Smon: Helmund: "I'll happily take some anti-toxin!"
Smon: Oghrim: "As you say."
joriandrake: ooc: prisha gives him the vial, telling him when to digest for longest / best effect
Smon: Goldscale: "Tonight we free my brethren from the deviant charms of the demon snake!"
joriandrake: "I prepared the spell and ritual"
joriandrake: "I don't know what might happen there, but if the Banishment spell is cast I wil have to focus on the ritual, that's whyn I will need guarding"
Smon: "Now, what is your plan to take the creature by surprise? Do we go now, pass off as simple bathers perhaps?"
joriandrake: when*
Smon: Helmund: "When do we expect it to make a showing?"
joriandrake: "Actually, it was partially my plan indeed, with a few of us acting as local servants of the bath house, allowing them to be better equipped than those who have to bath"
Sandor Sunneson: Kosvar returns from the Gents
Smon: GS shrugs: "After dark, certainly. Late, most likely."
Smon:
Sandor Sunneson: Kosvar will take up a position with his longbow
Smon: GS: "The propietor is a human -one of you had best explain?"
joriandrake: She nods at the kobold and dwarf "You need more equipment as warriors, the archer can hide his bow and arrows nearby at the very least, we can have our holy symbols on ourselves as we bath"
Smon: proprietor
Sandor Sunneson: Does it enter through the door Kosvar will ask or just magically appear??
joriandrake: Prisha nods "I will use a spell making negotiations easier. Will then talk t o the propietor to get the full help of the bath house... if thigns go well"
Smon: Goldscale: "It comes in by hidden means - a pipe, possibly. I have thought about it and I think an air vent likeliest."
joriandrake: "The naga is using a 'secret passage', probably the pipes"
Smon: Helmund looks nervous. "This is most exciting!"
joriandrake: "If we get there in time maybe we can make some mechanism to lock those vents and pipes, but I can't make traps"
joriandrake: "We would need atrapper for that"
Sandor Sunneson: Kosvar will take up a position with his longbow
Smon: GS: "It is but a minute or so away. We can go there now - I doubt it will have arrived yet."
joriandrake: "...if we're lucky the bath house already has something similar installed, for security and cleaning reasons"
Sandor Sunneson: He will position himself out of the way but with a good view to the pub flooring area in general
Smon: Kosvar is surveying the kobold diners, bow in hand.
joriandrake: Prisha nods "Then we go there now, prepare the location as best we can and...where is Kosvar?"
joriandrake: "He's a bit overeager... well, let us go then"
Smon: A fat kobold in chef's hat approaches Kosvar waving a meat cleaver. "You! Out!"
joriandrake: Prisha will cast Eagle of Spelndor before going into the bath house to make negotiation easier
Smon: Goldscale stands: "Do not worry Skirtal! Human is with us! We go now!"
Smon: GM: Goldscale leads you out into the night time streets of the low town.
Smon: A short walk brings you to the front of a once very impressive marble bath house.
Smon: A vaulted marble hall serves as gateway to the baths and waiting area for servants - two bored looking maids sit chatting on bench.
joriandrake: "I doubt the Naga will have a painting wither atthe bath house, but if we can take it out, please look for a painting called "Course of Empire" when you and your kobolds clean up its territory." Prisha tells GS
Smon: A thin male slave with coin bag approaches you. "1 copper..."
joriandrake: Prisha stops and casts the spell, then goes closer "hello, would you kindle tell me where I can find the propietor?"
Smon: roll cha+prof w advtg P
joriandrake Rolls 1d20+7x2 and gets:
11 (+7) = 18
16 (+7) = 23
Smon: The slave bows. "Of course, Mistress Acharya! Thank you for visiting our humble baths! Master Zsolt is in his office, there to your right."
Smon: He points to a door.
Smon: The slave goes over to the door & knocks. "Mistress Acharya to see you, master!"
joriandrake: "Thank you, we will go there directly then" (another Hungarian name )
Smon: The maids, both stout lasses, regard Kosvar idly.
Smon: "Eh? Send her in."
Smon: The slave ushers you in to a well appointed office.
Smon: A middle aged paunchy man with whispy hair sits behind an oak desk.
joriandrake: "Greetings" Prisha smiles and bows slightly
Smon: He half rises, offering you seats.
joriandrake: Prisha thanks hi mand accepts it
Smon: "Welcome, High Priestess! The Ceremony yesterday was excellent. Now, what brings you here ...?"
Smon: Oghrim remains standing. Helmund & Goldscale also sit.
joriandrake: "I heard amyn good things about your fine establishment since the ...change of administration in the city." She smiles. "I also heard you might be in need of a special kind of ...snake removing expertise." She pauses. "We wish to help with such a problem, for free, but need your full assistance. I assume you know what kind of snake I mean?" Prisha bets on the bath house knowing but not daring to try anything against it
Smon: "A snake? No. We search daily for vermin." He frowns. "Is this about the courtesans?"
Smon: "I know the Goodwives approached the King to have them banned..."
joriandrake: "No." She gets to the point. "This is about a Dark Naga, which risks the lives of all the people of the city, your guests, and your own. Even if you might not have known of it's presence"
Smon: /roll d20
Smon rolls 1d20 and gets: 3,
Smon: Zsolt. "I have absolutely no idea what a Dark Naga is, or what you're talking about."
joriandrake: "Meroya has nothing agaisnt courtesans, if they do their work out of their own will" She's addsing with a friendly, reassuring smile
joriandrake: Prisha takes the time to explain the danger of such a creature, and that it is likely to use the warm waters of the bath house "We plan to take it out here, in best case we can, in worst case it won't show even up, but then we still havea fine stay at your establishment"
joriandrake: "We wish to inquire about the possibility to remotely close vents and pipes though, as you might have such a mechanic installed for heating, cooling, or cleaning reasons. Also, we wish to disguise a few of our group as servants so they can have more equipment on them"
joriandrake: "As said, if the naga is here the service of removing the demon is for free, if it isn't we will pay the bath the required fee for our stay"
joriandrake: She smiles as charmingly as she can
Smon: Zsolt: "They certainly seem willing.... that's the problem, if you believe the likes of Marget and Igwa. Who I believe are in there right now, no doubt clucking their tongues."
Smon: Zsolt scratches the few strands of hair remaining on his scalp.
joriandrake: Prisha nods with empathy in her eyes "We don't wish to cause trouble, in fact we only want to remove the danger of that. Unless oyu ask me to d something about courtesans or Goodwives I doN't wish to interfere and cause you problems""
Smon: "I'd like to help, but weapons are forbidden in the bathhouse, and I don't want you upsetting the bathers. No, if there were ever a way to remotely close the vents, it's long lost."
joriandrake: "What would be the case... if we rent out the bath for the rest of tonight?"
Smon: Zsolt's eyes light up. "Indeed... say, a hundred gold? Since you'll be inconveniencing a lot of people."
joriandrake: "We would then be the only bathers, also paying customers... and if we actually find the naga here, then consider the payment the dismissal of the renting fee?"
joriandrake: Prisha nods "a 100 gold it is , unless we actually get the naga here."
Smon: Zsolt laughs. "I only have your word for it this creature even exists!"
joriandrake: "Deal?"
Smon: "A hundred gold, 50 back if I see a dead 'Naga', whatever that is."
joriandrake: "Well, this is your fine establishemnt, you're free to stay there i nthe bath and see if it appears... while I'm bathing'
Smon: Roll CHA check
joriandrake Rolls 1d20+7x2 and gets:
17 (+7) = 24
3 (+7) = 10
Sandor Sunneson: lol, pervy monster
joriandrake: ooc finally getting some good use out of that scene before the royal court and prisha getting more daring
Smon: Apparently Zsolt likes the younger ones... he nods, looking Prisha up and down. "Agreed! I'll have the staff clear the public out, then. Will you require the Masseurs tonight? No, I suppose not. Just a skeleton crew?"
joriandrake: "Skeleton crew, preparations to have my friends disguised and adviced on how to act as staff. Positioning, hiding equipment like bows, my own gear, ect"
joriandrake: "I'll take the risk of being in the bath by myself, unless someone else wishes to join me naked in the water"
joriandrake: She looks at her companions
Smon: Zsolt: "If some of you are staying armed and armoured, they'll need to stay out of sight I suppose?"
Smon: "Up here?"
Smon: "The baths are subterranean, you see."
joriandrake: "and yoU're the best to know where, and how to do that" Prisha smiles and nods at Zsolt
Sandor Sunneson: I'll take the bow back a bit for a range attack with bow and arrow
joriandrake: "Hm, subterrean tunnels might be another way to get into the bath then"
joriandrake: Prisha leave it to Oghrim to help the archer position, and to Zsolt to get us all the best disguise and use of terrain
Smon: Goldscale: "The Naga likes the hot plunge pools, I hear."
joriandrake: "Then that's what we're going to set up at"
joriandrake: Prisha waits with getting into water until she memorizes where everyone is positioned, taking the material pouch and her holy symbol with her only
Smon: Zsolt: "That's just east of the great bath. I doubt it comes in via the Grand Lounge - too public - so your armoured men could wait in the adjacent Gymnasium, out of sight? Or there are changing rooms by the Plunge Pools - but it might come in via the vents there..."
joriandrake: "Could one of them hide in the changing rooms? While the others are in the gymnasium?"
Smon: map - https://i1.wp.com/www.fantasticmaps.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/planforbathhouseweb.jpg?resize=640%2C494
joriandrake: "and one of them acting as servant in the bath?"
Smon: Stairs down from surface to great baths #2.1 Plunge pools adjacent in 2.5. 2.2 is lounge, 2.3 gymnasium.
Smon: You are upstairs in 1.1
Smon: Goldscale nods grimly. "I could hide unseen in a locker in the changing rooms!"
Sandor Sunneson: Kosvar will hide in the changing room locker
joriandrake: "good idea" she nods. Prisha leave the rest of preparations to the others
Smon: Zsolt: "Hm, you are a bit scrawny... maybe."
Smon: ooc only because Kosvar is an Elf I will allow an athletics check to wedge into a locker. No way is a longbow fitting though!
Smon: Zsolt: "I'll have Svetlana attend on you in the baths, Mistress. Excuse me while I close the baths..."
joriandrake: When the time is right Prisha will slowly undress (to the benefit of Zsolt) and get into the water, concentrating as long she can on the CHA spell (bow can be in neighbouring locker, gotta be afk now brb)
Smon: GM: The baths are closed. The good burghers & goodwives of Carchimish are evacuated with much complaining.
Smon: A 6'+ longbow is not going in a 4' locker, sorry.
Smon: ooc I can't even get my 4'6" walking stick in one IRL
Sandor Sunneson: :),
joriandrake: back
Sandor Sunneson: He'll wait in gymnasuiym then
Sandor Sunneson: but watch out for entry points
joriandrake: ooc: well i gues it depends on the bath house, the lockers are so big here a fully grown man can usually stand in it
Smon: Fat Igwa and narrow-face Marget are the goodwives complaining most loudly as they are 'driven out into the night' by the staff.
Sandor Sunneson: Might be worth dropping some meat or something into the pipes to attract it out too
Smon: OOC Prisha has deducted 100gp?
Smon: Stout Oghrim and slender Kosvar assemble in the Gymnasium, escorted there by a raven-haired beauty in white bikini type uniform - Svetlana.
Sandor Sunneson: Or use Svetlana as bait??
joriandrake: ooc Prisha didn't deduct anything yet as it depends on the results tonight
Smon: Goldscale takes cover in the men's changing room just north of the pool, while Prisha disrobes right by the poolside, to the great interest of Zsolt in attendance.
Sandor Sunneson: He'll saythat quietly so she doesnt hear
Smon: Zsolt eyes the naked Prisha. "I'll take my coin now."
joriandrake: ooc actually Zsolt should pay her, but whatever =P
joriandrake: "well, aren't you here to see if the naga appears?" She giggles as she dives under for a moment and get to the surface near zsolt
Smon: Oghrim listens to Kosvar's suggestions and chuckles, watching Svetlana sashay off to the plunge pools. "She baits me, well enough!"
Smon: Prisha can roll CHA+prof
joriandrake: "Hide at the gymnasium, you'll hear if something happens and see for yourself"
joriandrake Rolls 1d20+7x2 and gets:
17 (+7) = 24
16 (+7) = 23
Smon: Zsolt seems very distracted by Prisha.
Smon: "The Naga... yes..." he stares. Svetlana comes sashaying in.
joriandrake: ooc: I really hope to get ismilar results VS the naga
Smon: Zsolt: "I, er, yeah... better go to the Gymnasium."
joriandrake: Prisha enjoys toying with him and winks at Zsolt as he leaves "be sure to come to my rescue if it comes to take me away"
Smon: Prisha is left alone with Svetlana, who smiles, stripping off her bikini, and picking up a sponge.
Smon: http://cdn.hotmoms.pics/2016-08-29/364437_09.jpg
joriandrake: "Prisha swims closer and smiles at her, then whispers" Flee when anything strange happens, I don't want to risk you."
joriandrake: (roll CHA on Scetlana)
Smon: Svetlana enters the pool to bathe Prisha, nodding.
joriandrake Rolls 1d20+7x2 and gets:
20 (+7) = 27
20 (+7) = 27
Smon: "Don't worry mistress, I..."
joriandrake: (damn)

Smon: Charmed I'm sure.
Sandor Sunneson: nice role
Smon: /roll d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets: 6,

joriandrake: ooc: is there an other room to leave to? men's change room? if yes prisha tells Svetlana to calmly leave now, doN't look back ,and get the others

Smon: ok Prisha first up - she propels Svetlana west towards the exit.
Smon: Can cast spell too?
Smon: Szolt is with Oghrin & Kosvar in the gymnasium.
joriandrake: I do that, and no no spell yet, Prisha dives at the ends of pool so she gets cover from stone/water, she knows once naga gets close it gets 'advantage' if going into water, but this sould stall the action at least one turn
joriandrake: enge*ű
joriandrake: edge of pool*
Sandor Sunneson: Does Kosvar hear fighting to enter the fray? Or does someone raise alarm?
Smon: Prisha dives down into the water as the Naga whispers sibilantly... Save vs charm but the muffling water gives you advantage
Smon: What fighting?
joriandrake: ooc: no fighting, soundsyet, unless Svetlanda makes alarm
Smon: /roll d20

Smon: Svetlana shrieks and flees past the main bath, to the lounge entrance where Kosvar sees the naked wet shrieking girl appear!

joriandrake: ooc yay!
Smon: So this round Oghrim & Kosvar are running up.
Smon: init - #1 Prisha
Sandor Sunneson: Kosvar will fire arrows at the beast
Smon: (Later Fergus)
joriandrake: Helmund and Zsolt didn't notice it
joriandrake: Prisha pushes herself from the ground up to surface
joriandrake: with a jump, and then
joriandrake: casts the sacred flame cantrip
joriandrake: (DEX save for naga)
Smon: Helmund is following Kosvar, Zsolt stays safely back.
Smon: Prisha bursts out of the water...
Smon: /roll d20+7
Smon rolls 1d20+7 and gets: 15, (+7) = 22
joriandrake: it saves
Smon: The Naga easily evades...
joriandrake: ooc the main intention was to preoccupy the naga and get it make some sound, hopefully it still cries out, hisses or something
Smon: Suddenly a mass of writhing black tentacles erupt from the bed of the plunge pool, grasping at Prisha!
Smon: Naga: "I DO NOT LIKE YOUR ATTITUDE."
joriandrake: Prisha ignores the naga's shout and takes a deep breath above water
joriandrake: (dex save?)
Smon: Not yet
joriandrake: Prisha prepared for the chance the tentacles might drag her underwater, she now hopes the others get here in time
Smon: Tentacles slide around Prisha as she struggles to fend them off... She hears Kosvar & the others sprinting to help, Svetlana still shrieking.
Smon: The Naga watches in amusement.
Smon: Next round #1 Prisha then #2 Kosvar. Prisha roll a DEX save
joriandrake rolls 1d20+5 and gets: 15, (+5) = 20
Smon: Prisha fends off the tentacles attempting to do unspeakable things to her...

Sandor Sunneson rolls 2d8 and gets: 1, 5, = 6
Smon: The tentacles recoil from Prisha as she climbs out of the pool.
Sandor Sunneson: +12=18
joriandrake: Prisha thinks now it's up to the others to gain the Naga's attention so she can prepare the actual, important spell
Smon: The Naga frowns. "YOU ANNOY ME. BREATH OF THE VOID."
joriandrake: She believes the use of lowe level spells might have fooled the naga enough to not take her as serious risk
Smon: It breathes out, an arc of lethal cold covers both Prisha and Kosvar.
Smon: /roll 8d8
Smon rolls 8d8 and gets: 3, 4, 4, 8, 6, 2, 2, 6, = 35
joriandrake: ooc : damn, so san ctuary made no difference?
Smon: 35 cold damage, CON save DC 16 for half
Smon: you tell me
Smon: No protection vs area effects, nope
Smon: (checked)
Sandor Sunneson rolls 1d20 and gets: 2,
joriandrake: ooc not sure, you as Gm knows better, if the naga would without saving throw still include Prisha into area intentionally - You ward a creature within range against attack. Until the spell ends, any creature who targets the warded creature with an attack or a harmful spell must first make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the creature must choose a new target or lose the attack or spell. This spell doesn’t protect the warded creature from area effects, such as the explosion of a fireball.
joriandrake: ok, slow typing
Sandor Sunneson: +7=9
Smon: This spell doesn’t protect the warded creature from area effects, such as the explosion of a fireball.
Sandor Sunneson: ouch 15/50

Smon: Oghrim comes running in, panting and waving his axe (end of his turn).
joriandrake: Prisha freezes and wishes the other cleric to be soon here
Smon: Then behind the Naga appears a small golden form!

Smon: Next round

joriandrake: Prisha doesn't care as much for the damn 100 gold now, tries to banish the thing before Zsolt arrives
joriandrake: Casting Banishment 1 (out of 2 chances, CHA save for Naga)
Smon: OK....
Smon: Prisha invokes the Power of Meroya...
Smon: /roll d20+3

joriandrake: it saved
joriandrake: O_O
Smon: It shimmers for a moment, then reforms. It glares at Prisha. "LAST CHANCE TO RUN."
Smon: Is Prisha legging it or staying on the poolside?
joriandrake: Prisha seriously considers it
joriandrake: I think she flees to the dressing room (beter position, and naga will believe her to fully flee)
Smon: The Naga is on the ladies' dressing room side of the pool (east), Prisha on the west side near her allies.
joriandrake: Yes, she uses movement to the changing room
joriandrake: oh right
Smon: But it's too far
joriandrake: she moves behind the others then as best she can position
Smon: Would need a double move/
joriandrake: not into a group to not get trapped in another cold attack
Smon: ??
Smon: It's 30' across cone of cold
joriandrake: Prisha moves towards her allies, in a way to awoidn being bunched up with more of them, which could make the Naga decide for another cone of cold with her included
Smon: Only way to avoid is either run towards the naga round north side, or flee out west exit
Smon: She is already w/in about 15'of 3 allies
joriandrake: ok, flee towards west exist, hide behind wall there
Smon: OK Prisha ducks out west into the Grand Pool chamber, open to the starry night sky above.
joriandrake: ooc - sorry for being unclear
Sandor Sunneson: Could Kosvar do the same? Fire 2 arrows and then duck behind the wall?
Smon: She sees Zsolt and the naked Svetlana hurrying towards the spiral stairs up to the entry hall level.
Smon: Yup
joriandrake: ooc you still have your movement per turn I believe even when ful lattacking
Smon: Kosvar can shoot then duck round the wall beside Prisha

Smon: GM: As Prisha & Kosvar emerge, the two mighty heroes raise weapons to finish the dying brute.
Smon: Prisha orders them to stop - so no Revivify needed.
joriandrake: "It needs the ritual!"
Smon: She still has to Banish it.

Sandor Sunneson: well done all
joriandrake: to the cleric "YOu owe me 300 gold worth of diamonds cleric of Apollo, that was the cost of meroya reviving you"
joriandrake: then she giggles
Smon: Helmund staggers to his feet, gasping weakly.
Smon: Kobold & Dwarf cheer, hefting their weapons.
joriandrake: Prisha asks Kosvar and Oghrim to help her to her feet
Smon: Oghrin eyes Goldscale. "You fight well... for a kobold."
Smon: Oghrim moves to help Prisha up.
Smon: "Kobold, go fetch her clothes."
Sandor Sunneson: Well done all,
joriandrake: "He fights well, even among paladins" prisha ads and kisses the forehead of the kobold again
Smon: Oghrim pats his frozen beard. "Hmmm."
joriandrake: "You look cool with that beard"
Sandor Sunneson: You ok Oghrim Kosvar will ask?
Smon: Goldscale grins proudly. "Bahamut was with me. His glory smote the abomination."
Smon: Oghrim shrugs. "Been warmer."
joriandrake: "oghrim....doN't fondle your beard much, go into the pool to make it melt or it might break off"
Sandor Sunneson: Get into a bath with a lady tonight, nice way to warm up
Smon: OOC if not for Helmund standing there like a plonker, the Naga would have Disintegrated Goldscale BTW - good call on bringing the target dummy.
joriandrake: which reminds me, prisha goes back into the pool tiredly
Smon: The tentacles have vanished.
joriandrake: I sure hoped so
Smon: Oghrim winks at Kosvar. "You, laddie, I like the way you think."
joriandrake: "FINALLY having a bath, without being a lure to demons!" she sighs
joriandrake: Prisha invites them all into the pool
Smon: Oghrim eases his frozen armoured form into the bath. He grins at Prisha. "Ah, confess girl - you LIKE being a lure to demons!"
Smon: Goldscale shakes his head. "I shall inform the Proprietor the coast is clear."
Sandor Sunneson: Kosvar will find Shae and ask her if she wants to join him for a private bath later
joriandrake: "... only the more mortal ones among them"
Smon: Kosvar and Goldscale depart.
joriandrake: "Goldscale!" She throws a kiss at him "YOu were great, I will enjoy our cooperation"
Smon: GS seems very proud of the praise.
joriandrake: Prisha tells Halmund to join the bath, and she will cast a cure wounds on him
joriandrake: "You will feel weak for a while, take a rest with your...beloved."
Sandor Sunneson: Kosvar retrieved his arrows before heading off too

Sandor Sunneson: Cheers for session Simon, chat soon Jorian
Smon: Zsolt: "So, well, I guess Svetlana saw it... Well done."
Smon: He shrugs.
Smon: Kosvar finds Shae's humble cell in the Palace...
11:21pm 2018-2-14 Sandor Sunneson Has exited the room
joriandrake: She then takes a serious tone. "I hate to ask for it, but I will have to leave with the princess so it would be good if I could at least be able to revive her if necessaryy.... I used the only diamonds i had for you friend"

Smon: He has a wry look.
Smon: Helmund: "The Temple of Mitra can spare I believe 70 gold..."
Smon: "As a donation towards your costs."
joriandrake: "Thank you for your compliment.... I hope you do know I'm almost dead, and tired. So Iwhile I enjoy your presence and we can chat, I can't do anything else now. I also have to face the princess with the news"
joriandrake: She turns to Helmund "neverm ind that, 70 gold isn't enough, so just keep it, use it on the poor"
Smon: Oghrim strokes his thawing beard. "I'll talk to the King about gettin' you some more diamonds, girl."
Smon: Zsolt raises his eyebrows at Prisha's words. "Mmm... water's good."
joriandrake: She nods happily "Thank you, it is hard to find them, and I hoped to have at least enough for one reviving spell. This is the only one I know, and it ownly works as long the deceases isn't gone for longer than a minute from among the living"
Smon: Svetlana begins to give Prisha a massage, easing the pain in her frozen muscles.
joriandrake: She gratefully accepts. "Zsolt, if you believe you can do it, I would accept a foot massage from you tonight"
joriandrake: offering it, while Svetlana works on her back
Smon: Oghrim nods. "Yup. Be sure you have the diamonds when they're needed."
Smon: Prisha roll CHA + Prof, last time tonight
