joriandrake: Also, if we expect battle on journey to wake the dragon it might be wise to try get the amazons also send some soldiers
Smon: We broke off around noon on 27/8 as you were travelling south. Should reach the campsite at start of session, then overnight to morning of 28/8, when Anna plans to send a team into the Delve after Dyson.
joriandrake: Ok, Prisha suggests to her the idea that perhaps it would be better to go first to the amazons and ask if they join the group with a few warriors if the blueprint issue is peacefully solved
joriandrake: back to image, what does "growing her roots out" mean?
Smon: Anna's plan is that she & the regular soldiers hold the camp while you, Kosvar, Nightshadow, the Rangers & the Knights of Nerath enter the Delve.
Smon: Anna ignores your suggestion to involve the amazons in awaking Dyson.
Smon: "growing her roots out" - women often dye their hair blonde, as their hair grows out the dark natural colour shows first in the roots of their hair nearest the scalp.
joriandrake: Prisha will have to pick somne more combat oriented spells then
joriandrake: ah, I thought it was something about her heritage with double-meaning related to being a princess on quest
joriandrake: as in rotts=origin
joriandrake: I will look through the spell list, see exactly which slots she regains
Smon: Anna will let you take Orph down the Delve.
joriandrake: That is good, he will be helpful, same with rangers... metaphors! I already know ifI make another character as PC it will be a barbarian goliath, he will just not understand metaphors either and make it easier for me too =)
joriandrake: a construction worker, basically
Smon: So with NS's bodyguard, looks like 10 going down, 9 staying up. 10 is a bit much, those to the rear will likely be unable to fight if you're attacked, but plenty of reserves.
joriandrake: those at rear can prepare to fight ranged, so basically the rangers, and perhaps a few sodiers with crossbows?
Smon: >>I already know ifI make another character as PC it will be a barbarian goliath, he will just not understand metaphors either and make it easier for me too =)<< You definitely do best playing weird/exotic foreigners!
Smon: It's mostly 10' wide tunnels, so no.
joriandrake: He might even have a Hungarian Phrasebook (M Phyton)
joriandrake: honestly I didn't care much for barbarians until now, but this edition made them both interesting and useful even as pure base class
Smon: But the Rangers do make sense as a rearguard (if you have eg NS in front to scout), and in large open areas they can move up & shoot.
joriandrake: Not sure where prishe should stand in this case, I assume in middle, butz close to rear?
joriandrake: Prisha*
Smon: 5e barbs are really badass, my favourite class.
Smon: Commander Danelac will be taking overall command, he'll want Prisha in 2nd or 3rd rank for spell support, esp healing.
Smon: "Pray for healing word and you may stay in the third rank, milady" he says.
joriandrake: THird rank then, will focus on healing, combined with Beacon of Hope it should make at least one encounter well-healed, I will see if I can get Prisha utility spells usable in combat support, and NS could use the aid of soldiers at front giving him advantage with 'help action'
joriandrake: so he can sneak attack those he has advantage against, same for Orph
joriandrake: Altho not sure if NS and Orph is ranged or melee, probably melee for Orph
joriandrake: Not going to swap out revivify that's for sure
joriandrake: will read up your blog to see what spells i used and when
Smon: Danelac informs you that Nightshadow & Kosvar will take point, followed by Grog & Danelac, Prisha & Efrain, Orph & Bors, Tagoler & Souvari to rear.
joriandrake: was in Hara on21st, do my spells used then return? or only counting from 22nd?
joriandrake: Prisha nods, seems well planned...
______________________
7:59pm 2018-2-27 Smon Has entered the room
joriandrake: Prisha also knows there is some connection with Sandor and the amazons and doesn't want violence due to that either
Sandor Sunneson: Evening Simon
Smon: Hi all
joriandrake: hi
Sandor Sunneson: Good day?
Smon: GM: 27/8/47 OK so Nightshadow was still heading to Stonehell with Rama the kobold when he received a Sending from Prisha to meet them at the gorge just east of Dyson's delve.
Smon: (was ok)
Smon: map - https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5abrABRu89Ke2MIgS_-EuqPtG5onZFjYI77jEjsaW9YWuusKyoeYJZJ8fgdOzfFJRlt-G23kph-4jbLanQNdYOMwXq9a5l4-N0ZJwOgyl_u3Ia4f0tSu70ZwebY5qVvGglsL0NkZ-hJY/s1600/Selatine+Area.jpg
DESTROYERBILL: ns has a tiny amount of daggars only 20
joriandrake: ooc Updates spell list, mostly unchanged except adding Guiding Bolt, Raise Dead and removed Detect Poison/Sanctuary
joriandrake: updated*
Smon: Prisha Kosvar & co follow the coast trail SW 8 miles towards the distant Lighthouse, then under Anna's direction turn west towards the cliffs in the distance.
Smon: After two miles across the plain they see the ruins of an ancient shrine atop the cliffs, only about 30' high here, with a cave mouth beneath at ground level.
Sandor Sunneson: Kosvar will ask Anna when she was last at the Delve?
joriandrake: Prisha uses the time to get to know the rangers better
Smon: Anna: "Oh, I've not been here... Just following Priestess Livilla's directions!"
Smon: The Rangers Tagoler & Souvari are scouting ahead, alert for ambush.
Sandor Sunneson: Well hopefully they'll keep us safe as well as the group Kosvar will say
joriandrake: ... in that case Prisha uses the time to stick to Anna as well
DESTROYERBILL: im going with you for dysons delve
Smon: Just east of the cliff spur, the Rangers locate the thick brambled gorge, and look for a safe way through the jagged thorn bushes...
Smon: While they are searching around, Nightshadow catches up with the 18 strong Nerathi expedition.
DESTROYERBILL: hello people
Smon: The 8 guardsmen have a defensive perimeter.
Smon: Anna turns and smiles as NS approaches: "Ah, good! Great to see you."
DESTROYERBILL: yes you to
Smon: "The Rangers are just looking for a way through the thorn bushes, into the gorge."
Smon: /roll d20+6x2
Smon Rolls 1d20+6x2 and gets:
18 (+6) = 24
17 (+6) = 23
Smon: Anna Souvari & Tagoler report a safe trail through the brambles.
Smon: Tagoler: "Be sure to duck!"
DESTROYERBILL rolls 1d20 and gets: 1,
joriandrake: o.O
DESTROYERBILL: that was a luck roll
DESTROYERBILL: i failed
DESTROYERBILL: certin bad dice for me
Smon: GM: The Rangers lead you through the brambles that tug at your clothes, to a narrow track winding down the side of the deep, deep gorge to the floor, some three hundred feet below.
Smon: Half an hour later you assemble on the floor of the brambly rift, daylight high above.
joriandrake: Prisha takes out her shield for extra defense against brambles and such, also shielding the princess
Smon: Here and there amidst the rocks are scattered old bones, rusted weapons and armour.
Smon: There a tattered, ragged penant hanging from a spear shaft shows the emblem of the Black Sun.
Smon: Most of the remains are badly scorched as if by terrible fire.
joriandrake: pendant? Prisha takes it and inspects it
Sandor Sunneson: Hope it was painful and brutal for them
Sandor Sunneson: It's the black sun emblem Prisha, not worth anything to anyone decent
Smon: Anna: "This is where Lady Meda brought hellfire down upon the Black Sun expedition under Princess Ffion Cormarrion. There should be an entry to the Delve on the west wall..."
joriandrake: "....maybe, I will consider what to do with it later." She pockets it
Smon: >>pendant? Prisha takes it and inspects it<< Pennant - small triangular flag.
joriandrake: Prisha turns to Anna "Please tell us what you know of the place"
joriandrake: ooc thanks simon, still taking it
Sandor Sunneson: Lady Meda fireballed the black sun apparently, good on her
Smon: Tagoler: "Here's the entry!" He points to a dark tunnel entrance, 10' wide, the sides scored as if by the exit & ingress of a large dragon...
DESTROYERBILL: i check for traps
joriandrake: "Thank you Lord Tagoler." She then turns to and smiles at NS "What position would you prefer to take? Perhaps scout ahead?"
Smon: Anna looks to Prisha: "As we discussed, Priestess Livilla was here with Ffion Cormarrin's expedition. The tunnel is 350' long and leads to the Temple of the Elements."
DESTROYERBILL rolls 1d20+8 and gets: 15, (+8) = 23
Smon: NS satisfies himself the tunnel entry is not trapped.
Smon: /roll d6
Smon: brb
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets: 3,
joriandrake: "What is there to know about the Temple of Elements?"
DESTROYERBILL: im going to hide
joriandrake: Prisha and Anna discuss positioning (as earlier talked about, happening now?)
Smon: Anna: "We set camp here - yes Don, you may scout ahead."
Smon: Danelac: "Tomorrow at dawn we enter!"
DESTROYERBILL rolls 1d20+11 and gets: 5, (+11) = 16
Smon: NS sneaks down the long tunnel.
Sandor Sunneson: Kosvar with his rangering skills will start a fire to keep everyone war,
Sandor Sunneson: m
Smon: Following the obvious dragon-trail. After 350' it passes through a rent doorway into the southern part of the Temple of the Elements.
joriandrake: Prisha nods, bids farewell to the group of the princess. "May Meroya and the other gods protect you from enemies outside." She then turns to the tunnel "...and may they also protect us inside."
joriandrake: ooc I thought we go in right now but noticed Danelac's comment a bit late
Smon: Off to the right in the temple central hall NS sees spiral stairs going up, but the dragon trail runs along the south side of the temple through chambers to a spiral stair heading down.
Smon: There are old dried bloodstains in the corridor, signs of battle, but nothing alive.
Smon: A discarded Nerathi helm, months old & starting to rust.
DESTROYERBILL: ill folow where the dragons tale is
Sandor Sunneson: Kosvar will follow too
Sandor Sunneson: So much for teamwork folks
DESTROYERBILL: i check for traps on the stairs
Smon: The dragon trail leads down the stairs, deeper into the delve.
DESTROYERBILL rolls 1d20+8 and gets: 3, (+8) = 11
joriandrake: "He was allowed to go ahead by the princess Kosvar, pelase stay."
joriandrake: please
Smon: Anna: "Kosvar you may go with him." ...Kosvar catches up w NS, a little behind.
Smon: The spiral stair winds down some 50' and comes out at the w end of a U-shaped chamber.
Smon: /roll d6
Sandor Sunneson: How far down you going NS?
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets: 2,

Smon: NS keeps heading on...

Smon: There is a heavy animal smell in the air.
Sandor Sunneson: We could be close
Smon: NS hefts his lantern, illuminating the cave.
Sandor Sunneson: Kosvar gets his bow and arrow ready
Sandor Sunneson: Any noises ?
Smon: The red eyes of three large forms reflect back up at you in the lantern light.
joriandrake: Prisha chats with the rangers outside while preparing to rest then sleep
Smon: You hear growls.
Smon: You two are at the top of 20' stairs.
Smon: At the foot of the stairs three burly Owlbears are congregating...
Smon: "GRRR_OOOOO!" say the owlbears.
DESTROYERBILL: shut up and leave
Smon: Their beaks open as they scramble up the stairs towards you...
Sandor Sunneson: follow NS
Sandor Sunneson: lol
DESTROYERBILL rolls 1d20+8 and gets: 12, (+8) = 20

Smon: What's your move K?
Sandor Sunneson: He's following NS
Smon: There are 3 owlbears following Kosvar, breathing down his neck, the lead one trying to catch him.
Smon: With all the doors between here & the exit destroyed by the dragon, looks like you're in big trouble.
Smon: Unless you have some way to escape?
Smon: Or you can detour off the main trail and hope you can bar the door/lose owlbears/find a way out even...
Smon: OK I take it he's running up - 2 more opp atts to the spiral staircase.

Smon: if you win an opposed athletics check you can draw ahead on the spiral stairs

Sandor Sunneson: lol
Smon: K could flee through door, try to close it behind & hold vs the bears?
Smon: If there's a latch, or if K is stronger than a bear...
Sandor Sunneson: Guess that;s his only choice isn;t it
joriandrake: ooc is NS only fleeing, nothing else?
DESTROYERBILL: yep just fleeing

Smon: Orph: "Nice job scouting, NS!"
DESTROYERBILL: owl bears
joriandrake: "We have to go quicly to help him, if we manage to still get there in time!" Prisha looks at Anna who let him go and waits for the order
DESTROYERBILL: took three claws to the back probably dead but he might be alive you can go on in if you want to save him
Smon: Commander Danelac yells to Grog and NS: "You two! Bring lanterns - follow us!"
Smon: Anna sighs. "If you all die I'll be very unhappy! OK - go on!"
joriandrake: "I go after you... in case healing is required" Prisha doesn't mean the option of reviving the dead
joriandrake: mention*
Smon: The three Knights of Nerath in shining armour dash into the tunnel.

Smon: GM: Prisha stops to light a torch...
joriandrake: ooc have no magical spell to make light, unless i constantly spam the cnatrip sacred fire at the walls or such
Smon: Danelac stops, looking on in disbelief: "No light cantrip?! But thou art a Cleric!"
Smon: The three knights wait around as Prisha and Grog light torches....
joriandrake: "Not all clerics have the same spells, I can stop a man from dying or cast sacred flames on enemy instead a magic light"
Smon: Giving the next owlbear time to start tearing at the door...
DESTROYERBILL: how about i tie a lantern to your back
Smon: Kosvar roll Athletics w advtg again

Smon: GM: With the three torchbearers behind them, the knights run on...

Smon: The bear rugs are somewhat perforated.
joriandrake: ooc fine, it means i have less spells
Smon: >>ooc oh shit<< LOL yeah you did a good job ignoring what I was telling you.
Smon: Danelac & Sir Efrain help NS skin the bears.
joriandrake: ooc they were waiting for healing, can't be helped, unless you say i can heal with nature rolls
Smon: Danelac hefts a bloody rug. "Let us repair to camp and tend wounds!"
DESTROYERBILL: mabye we could each use them as cloaks
Smon: ooc short rest, can spend hd
joriandrake: Prisha goes and helps Kosvar lean on her
DESTROYERBILL: grog do you want to wear this bug bear skin
joriandrake: "Owlbear"
Smon: GM: You return to the gorge, where the soldiers have set up tents and are cooking dinner.
Smon: Grog nods happily, wrapping the owlbear cloak around him.
Smon: OOC I'm making hot chocolate, feel free to spend hd now & chat in camp
joriandrake: "This was a close call, it seems the beasts almsot broke through to Kosvar who barricaded himself in a room"
DESTROYERBILL: i try to take pieses of edible meat
Sandor Sunneson: That was close, bloody beats
joriandrake: almost
joriandrake: Prisha would like to make up some medicine or herbal bandage layer for the wounded (and use Nature, herbalism skill if possible)
DESTROYERBILL: ill tell you if the plants are poisenes or not
joriandrake: ooc She does have expertise in Nature with the idea of it being tied to herbalism but hadn't used it until now
Smon: OOC it's Medicine anyway
Sandor Sunneson: Kosvar will short rest and sit himself down
DESTROYERBILL: ill look for poisnes plants

joriandrake: ooc damn
Smon: GM OOC So I'm letting Bors access his NPC hd overnight making him full hp & good to fight next morning.
Smon: Danelac: "In the Dungeon, it's best to stick close, where we can protect thee, friends."
joriandrake: ooc that will be helpful, Kosvar however isn't at so much risk if he stays behind with archery as Bors
Sandor Sunneson: sounds like a good plan
DESTROYERBILL: well im not the best scout for a dark dungeon becouse i need a light source
DESTROYERBILL: only one who can see in the dark is ... KOSVAR
joriandrake: "Half-orcs can also see well"
Sandor Sunneson: Kosvar is resting for the night now,
DESTROYERBILL: its in the morning
joriandrake: Prisha rests near Kosvar, for the case he needs more attention due to the wounds
DESTROYERBILL: grog is not very sneaky
DESTROYERBILL: he also carrys my daggars
Sandor Sunneson: use 4HD recovery, average 6 per level so 24 back plus 16 CON
Sandor Sunneson: 40 in total, back at full
Smon: GM: The soldiers serve dinner. Night falls, the air is chill in the deep gorge, amidst the scorched bones of the Black Sun.
Smon: Grog amuses himself piling blackened skulls one on another.
joriandrake: Prisha let's princess Anna or Danelac, maybe the Lord Ranger tell the positioning to NS and she falls asleep
DESTROYERBILL: all three stats str dex and con are 16
Smon: Anna Bronze: "Well, that was a nice meal Corporal Sand. I'm retiring to my tent."
Sandor Sunneson: Princess Fion was killed by Ursa the Dwarf, legendary fighter who passed when fighting Borritt Crowfinger
Smon: Sand: "I'll set a watch on your flaps, ma'am."
Smon: Anna retires to her tent, ignoring the muffled sniggers from several guards.
Smon: Orph strums a happy melody.
joriandrake: Orph's melody makes Prisha relax and get asleep quicker
Sandor Sunneson: Kosvar will use his night vision to see if he sees anything suspicious watching the group
Smon: Orph snuggles up to Prisha in her tent... Danelac goes over to Kosvar.
Sandor Sunneson: Thank you for that earlier Danelac
Sandor Sunneson: You lot carved them up pretty easily
Smon: Danelac: "I meant what I said, Ranger. Stick close to us tomorrow. Dyson's Delve is serious business." He nods. "It's what we do."
DESTROYERBILL: i prop up daggars around my tent so if anything tries to come in ill hear it scream in pane
Sandor Sunneson: I will do, lesson learnt
DESTROYERBILL: i also wright on the tent daggars out side remember don

DESTROYERBILL: what is it princess
joriandrake: Prisha eats breakfast by the side of Orph and whomever is on her other side
Smon: Anna: "So, I will be staying here of course with Cpl Sand's squad, while you penetrate today to the lowest level of the Delve, find Dyson in the Earth Womb, wake him, and invite him to the Coronation of my brother."
Smon: Orph munches happily on bacon egg & beans.
Sandor Sunneson: Kosvar will listen and look at the Princess
joriandrake: Prisha nods
joriandrake: then steals a bacon stripe from Orph
Smon: Anna: "Commander Danelac is in overall command, with Lord Tagoler commanding the rearguard."
Smon: Orph: "Oi!"
Smon: He grins in mock anger as the bacon goes down P's gullet.
DESTROYERBILL: i steal orphs plate of food
joriandrake: She grins and turns back to Anna
Smon: Danelac stands to address the party: "Very well then..."
Smon: NS Sleight of Hand check
DESTROYERBILL rolls 1d20+8 and gets: 8, (+8) = 16
joriandrake: ooc as long it isn't Anna's bacon
Smon: Orph looks down to find his whole breakfast plate gone!
Smon: And NS enjoying a second helping.
joriandrake: .lol
joriandrake: Prisha shares the rest of her meal with Orph giggling
Smon: Orph sighs sadly as his stomach rumbles.
Smon: Then grins to P & shares her meal
Smon: Including them eating pieces of bacon from both ends in a cute/annoying manner
DESTROYERBILL: i try to steal prishas plate
Smon: As they rub noses

Smon: As NS tries to snaffle it.
joriandrake: "One should be enough" She looks at him and pulls the plate away
Smon: Danelac frowns: "IF we have finished the hi-jinks ...?"
DESTROYERBILL: i back flip away pretending nothing happaned
Sandor Sunneson: So when we going?
Smon: Danelac informs you that Nightshadow & Kosvar will take point, followed by Grog & Danelac, Prisha & Efrain, Orph & Bors, Tagoler & Souvari to rear.
Smon: GM: I'm stopping at 10:20, shall we do start of delve?
DESTROYERBILL: yes
joriandrake: ooc I have lots of time feel free if you feel well
Smon: After breakfast you assemble with NS & K in front.
Smon: Grog Prisha & Orph are handed torches.
joriandrake: Prisha feels safe with orph at her back
Smon: Then you head into the Delve, retracing the scouts' path from yesterday...
Smon: You head down the long tunnel, through the Temple of the Elements.
DESTROYERBILL: i hide
Smon: Small brown rats are nibbling on the skinned bugbears, but scamper away when you appear.
DESTROYERBILL rolls 1d20+11 and gets: 17, (+11) = 28
Smon: NS is very stealthy.
joriandrake: ooc Kosvar? hiding too?
Smon: Basically NS presses against the wall so enemies may assume Grog & Danelac are your front rank.
Sandor Sunneson: His favoured terrain is forest
Smon: if K also hides
Sandor Sunneson: 7
joriandrake: ooc you can stil ltry
Smon: You reach the spiral stairs and descend.
Sandor Sunneson: Underground caves ain't his faboured terrain
Smon: 50' down you reach the next level.
Sandor Sunneson: He uses his night vision when possible to look ahead
Smon: Following the dragon tracks down the tunnel, you reach the owlbear cave.
Smon: It extends a long way off to the left, but it's clear to K the dragon descended the stairs opposite.
joriandrake: Prisha looks in the cave, did the beasts have other victims?
Smon: There is a fair bit of owlbear poo.
Smon: Here and there bits of bone glint.
joriandrake: Prishan ot interested so much in loot to dig through poo
joriandrake: is not*
Smon: Here and there is the glint of a silver coin.
Smon: Danelac: "Down"
Smon: Crossing the cave, you descend the far stairs.
joriandrake: Prisha goes back in line and reacts to 'down'
Smon: They go down a good distance, another 50' - until they open out into a good sized natural cavern.
joriandrake: Then she realizes this didn't mean 'duck'
Smon: The trail leads across the cave, which has scattered small pools, to stairs opposite.
DESTROYERBILL rolls 1d20+8 and gets: 12, (+8) = 20
Sandor Sunneson: Such a lovely cave system
Smon: NS sees a large circular hole in the ceiling in the middle of the ca 30' wide cave.
DESTROYERBILL: hole in the sealing
Smon: It's at least 8' across, that's all he can see in the torchlight.
DESTROYERBILL: 30 feet wide
Sandor Sunneson: K will look with night vision to see what he sees
joriandrake: Prisha looks at those pools with some alert, aware that danger could have any form
Smon: People w darkvision can roll PER if they move away from the torches.
DESTROYERBILL: some thing is up there
Sandor Sunneson rolls 1d20 and gets: 8,
Smon: Prisha looks at the pools.
Smon: Kosvar realises the hole is incredibly smooth, just as...

Smon: Danelac: "Back! Up the stairs!"
joriandrake: ooc we might winb if we survive this
Smon: GM: Anyone want to stay and fight it?
joriandrake: Prisha follows him and urges the others too
Smon: Or run across the cave?
DESTROYERBILL: the poison is deadly so i go back up the stairs at full spead urging grog to do the same
Sandor Sunneson: Follows Danelac
Smon: GM: You all hurry back up the stairs as the great worm snaps at your recently vacated spot.
Smon: Annoyed at a lack of tasty adventurers, it pulls back into the hole.
Smon: OOC ok stopping there. 2100 XP each.
joriandrake: "We might still have to pass through there.... any ideas?"
joriandrake: thanks
Smon: Continuing tomorrow 7.30pm/8pm

joriandrake: congrats Kosvar
joriandrake: near-death experience for xp!
DESTROYERBILL: well well ther must be a diffrant way becouse thers no way this is new the orignal people came to dyson without killing the worm
Smon: Danelac: "Hmm... they were mighty heroes! Sandor Sunneson, Ragnar Skarrison, King Namelin, Drakonok the Dragonborn. Nothing could stand against them!"
joriandrake: "The worm might have came later, dig in or such"
Sandor Sunneson: Monsters move.......we are following the path given by the Priestess
Smon: Orph: "Maybe... You know, if you sprinted, you could likely make it across before it grabbed you."
DESTROYERBILL: who votes on killing the worm and who votes for lets look for a diffrant entrance
Sandor Sunneson: Maybe it's a trick, she did fight for the black sun Kosvar will shrug
Smon: GM: It definitely looked to Kosvar that the trail came this way.
joriandrake: She turns to Orph "What if we ran around the cave near the walls?"
joriandrake: "The hole was in midde above, right?"
joriandrake: ooc or below? still middle tho?
Smon: Orph shrugs, "That's only, what 15' from the hole? Could reach easy I reckon."
DESTROYERBILL: ther is no dout we could kill it but we would take heavy losses
Smon: yes
Smon: middle above
DESTROYERBILL: i aint taken the risk
joriandrake: Prisha ponders the situation "Well, sprint might work, if it catches one of us we can attempt fighting it"
DESTROYERBILL: call me a coward but when your all dead ill be the surviver
Smon: Danelac: "Hmmm... perhaps you civilians should stay here, while my men and I essay the great white worm."
joriandrake: Prisha turns to NS "YOu have a reason to be here, and you were called back given a new chance by Princess Anna"
Smon: Danelac: "We MUST wake Dyson from his slumbers!"
Sandor Sunneson: I shall hit it with arrows to assist you
joriandrake: ooc essay the worm?
Smon: D looks at Kosvar: "Then it will eat you."
Smon: essay = attempt = try
DESTROYERBILL: its just for a correnation is it worth for sevral of us to die
joriandrake: ooc thanks

DESTROYERBILL rolls 1d20+11 and gets: 15, (+11) = 26
Smon: DC 25 persausion
Smon: LOL
joriandrake: "The dragon could also be pretty useful against the Skandiks"
Smon: Danelac sighs, convinced by NS's words.
joriandrake rolls 1d20+8 and gets: 16, (+8) = 24
Smon: "No... I suppose you are right."
Sandor Sunneson: He'll be good for transporting soldiers and that's about it
Sandor Sunneson: How is going to tell Anna B we gave up?
Smon: "If only you could see in the dark friend - then you might creep unseen across the cave with your great stealth."
joriandrake: "We don't give up. Even if she may accept it, the King won't"
Sandor Sunneson: An idea could be to visit the Amazons, they may know of another way
joriandrake: "I can give aid in dexterity" (advantage)
Smon: Danelac rubs his brow. "Yes, yes, you're right of course..."
joriandrake: "With divine help"
Sandor Sunneson: That is only me then that gets past, what about you lot?
DESTROYERBILL: we will tell them we tried but encountered a deadly white worm with poison strong enoungth to kill a man
Smon: Danelac: "Mistress, could you aid Kosvar to sneak unseen across the cave?"
joriandrake: Prisha turns to Kosvar "A good idea! Actually visiting the amazons first might still give us unsuspected benefit, maybe more fighters"
joriandrake: Prisha nods to Danelac "I can"
Sandor Sunneson: We go as a group to wake up Dyson?
Smon: "On his own, he can see in the dark, perhaps reach Dyson and rouse him?"
Smon: Danelac looks to Kosvar. "I can't order you to do this, friend, but you are our best chance."
joriandrake: Prisha considers the situation "The worm has no eyes, whomever tries to get through can use torches I believe"
Sandor Sunneson: Can you show me on the map where we are, and I will do it
DESTROYERBILL: mabye, he can risk his life for a correnation but me and grog wont
Sandor Sunneson: if it doesn't look to o far
joriandrake: "and I can attempt...2 people to be given advantage through the room"
Smon: Tagoler: "Just follow the dragon tracks, friend Kosvar!"
DESTROYERBILL: i can help convince the amazons give us the plans but my chrasma cant charm a worm
Smon: GM: Danelac seems certain the worm can sense the torchlight.
Smon: OOC No more
Sandor Sunneson: I will do it
joriandrake: Prisha looks at NS who would be better suited for the task then at mention of 'charm'... "I could attempt to go with Kosvar"
Sandor Sunneson: nice one
Sandor Sunneson: stopped, thanks Simon
joriandrake: "We can throw torches into the room at the side, enough to light the cave to run through it"
Smon: The assembled Nerathi clap Kosvar on the back. Danelac: "I'll see you richly honoured for this, good Kosvar!"
DESTROYERBILL: you have 2 temples and you are willing to give it up for a corrination
joriandrake: ooc thanks
Smon: Danelac: "No torches!"
Smon: OOC no more typing posting log
