chris107: "The Lady Amala says that each must do his duty." Says Mordred piously.
7:37am 2018-9-29 JamesDevil Has entered the room
JamesDevil: Hi all
Keelia: hi
chris107: "Erm..or hers." He adds, blushing.
joriandrake: hello
chris107: Hi James
JamesDevil: sorry i'm later, other people dfare to live in my home and hog the shower -.-
Keelia: Bright Star chuckles at him
Smon: Hi James!
sandor sunneson: Morning James
Keelia: (Unless she and Danor are still in that other area? I don't think we actually left)
Keelia: She was planning on buying that slave...
Smon: GM: OK Sandro and newly-Palatdinised Mordred have met a purple-toned half elf mage Alvariel who asked to accompany them into Stonehell. They travel to join with Danor & Bright Star who were seeking passage into the Vrilya domain.
chris107: (The poor girl taken by the Draugr?)
Smon: The trio negotiate their way down into the Vrilya city - Sandro & Mordred deduct 110gp for the glowing pass stone & trip on the Vrilya elevator.
chris107: (already done )
Keelia: (Great!)
Smon: Eventually they find their way to a tavern on the north side of the market square in the Vrilya cavern city of Tanna T'iev, where they find Danor & Bright Star in conversation with 2 Vrilya, the mage Saralya and her brother the warrior Dyvim.
sandor sunneson: done
Keelia: Bright Star waves them over.
Smon: A Duergar trade caravan have set up in the market and are selling slaves and metalwares.
joriandrake: "Greetings good people." The half-elf bows towards the others and inspects them with his serpent like eyes while almost stumbling on his own foot as he takes out a parchment to inspect a list scribbled on it. After that he stays mostly silent as he takes notes of the passages.
JamesDevil: "ah, friends good to see you! as you can see we are having a talk with these gentlement"
chris107: "Hello, Bright Star, Danor. How are you?" He looks nervously at the voracious Saralya.
chris107: "They have been having problems up the coast in Ahyf with the Duergar."
Keelia: "Come, sit, drink," Bright Star waves them to join them
JamesDevil: sigh "my wayward cousins....
JamesDevil: "
chris107: "Thank you. Perhaps a small sherry?"
chris107: "You say there is some poor wretched slave we may be able to free, Bright Star?"
joriandrake: Avariel hesitantly joins them, watching the stair's cleanliness as he sits down. "Coffee please. Latte if possible."
Keelia: Bright Star nods. "Bright Star is going to go enquire about her. She is being sold by the Duergar."
Smon: Saralya gives Mordred a welcoming smile. A scantily clad & bejeweled male Vrilya bartender orders a blind Morlock slave, who brings over Mordred's sherry & any other drinks.
joriandrake: chairs*
sandor sunneson: What sort of problems?
Keelia: Bright Star's ears perk forward, listening.
Smon: There is a large pile of drinks and some empties in front of Danor.
chris107: Mordred will give Bright Star all his current wealth 527GP to aid in the transaction.
Smon: Saralya looks inquisitively at Alvariel, then speaks to all three newcomers: "Welcome to Tanna T'iev."
JamesDevil: Danor tosses in 938gp
chris107: "Thank you, Lady Saralya. You are most gracious as always."
joriandrake: Avariel blinks at the sight of all the riches
Keelia: Bright Star nods her thanks, and tucks them away. "She will return what is left over."
joriandrake: Alvariel (eh, coffee still not fully kicking in)
sandor sunneson: Thank you, a most interesting place, what is the tallest building in this place? I know of towns where visitors from the east like to see tall spires
Smon: Alvariel gets his rothe-milk latte, the blend of beans is unfamiliar.
JamesDevil: Danor looks over at her
joriandrake: He will take his time to inspect and savour the drink, taking out a large tome and writing notes on the blend into it
JamesDevil: "just don't ask where the milk can from"
chris107:
JamesDevil: "don't see any cows around do you?"
JamesDevil: ooc what class are you Jorian?
joriandrake: "Oh, I definitely will ask later." He nods
Smon: Dyvim: "The guild house of the Illtornuvu Oulga sorcerers is the tallest, I believe. As you saw, the cavern roof limits height."
chris107: Mordred tries not to look in Saralya's direction.
joriandrake: (Wizard, coffee afficionado)
joriandrake: (My char sheet and description is on the last page of the game thread on dragonsfoot)
JamesDevil: Danor slides two scroll over to Avariel, locate object and continual flame
Smon: Saralya appears to note Mordred's discomfort.
sandor sunneson: Thank you Dyvim, Sandro ponders
JamesDevil:
Smon: The Morlock takes 2gp for the sherry and 3gp for the latte.
chris107: Mordred offers his new wizard companion a wand of Negation. "From my wizarding days."
Smon: Alvariel https://www.dragonsfoot.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=70130&start=2010
chris107: he also offers each of his companions a potion of stone to flesh.
joriandrake: Alvariel's eyes light up as he looks at the offered scrolls, swiftly packs away his coffee tome and takes out an even bigger, older looking tome as he looks through his spells and a new piece of paper to scribble notes on "Thank you"
Keelia: Bright Star sips at her drink and takes the potion and tucks it away
Smon: Dyvim turns to Bright Star: "If you wish to purchase the human girl from the Kazadurgar, I suggest you do it now. The House of Flesh and Smoke has not acquired a fresh human in two years, since the fall of Oriax the slaver-mage. And red heads are in much demand. I expect they will be keen to acquire her."
Keelia: Bright Star nods and stands. "Bright Star will return shortly."
joriandrake: "I see slave trade is booming in this region as well as in the North. Do you have a trade route to the City State?"
Smon: GM: Anyone else going with Bright Star? The Kazadurgar are racial enemies of the Dwarves but tolerate most other species.
Keelia: She slinks out.
chris107: Only if Keelia wants us to.
Keelia: (Danor previously agreed not to)
joriandrake: (Alvariel is a bit too new to the group to to just offer to join up without invitation)
JamesDevil: Danor will remain here, as much as he wants to kick some arse an entire city is a bit much this morning
chris107: Mordred silently agrees with Danor.
sandor sunneson: Wise thoughts
Keelia: She glides through the crowds back to where the Duegar were and her best chance of finding where they are selling the slave
Smon: Dyvim turns to Alvariel. "No. The Orcs of Oriax used to bring human slaves here, but that was years ago. Some barbarian hero drove him from the Bright Lands. He sought to establish a Gate into Stonehell with the Acheronic Hobgoblins, but more adventurers came, and drove him off. Since then, few fresh slaves have been traded here, other than the goblin races. And prices are high."
Smon: GM: The Duergar have set up at a slave-trading block towards the SW side of the market square, near a 20' tall darkwood palisade at the south wall over which towers a great winch system.
joriandrake: Alvariel nods. "Thank you. Is the Bright Lands that good woman, 'Bright Star' is from as well?" He sips on his coffee as he considers the impact of a lack of slade workforce on the region.
chris107: Mordred does his best not to slay the filthy slave-takers where they stand.
joriandrake: (nvm you don't have to answer, just carry on with the other location scene)
Keelia: Bright Star makes a mental note to try to have a look at the winch system later. She saunters over, feigning disinterest
Keelia: as she looks for the slave-lady
Smon: Several of the giant lizard beasts of burden are penned in, a dozen or so slaves of various mostly subterranean species are on sale on the granite block. A fat Kazadurgar merchant is selling a pair of hairy brutes - Quaggoth - to a Pit trainer.
Smon: Dyvim gives Alvariel a puzzled look. "The Bright Lands... the lands under the Burning Sun. The Surface."
joriandrake: "Ah..." Meanwhile Alvariel will use this time to get to know a bit of his fellow new companions
Smon: In amongst asorted kobolds, goblins and such, Bright Star easily spots the flame-haired human female, very beautiful by human standards, if distinctly lacking in fur.
chris107:
Smon: Like the other slaves she has a fearful and downtrodden look, dressed in rags.
Keelia: (not have fur is so impractical! how do they keep warm? at least Danor's beard serves a similar purpose)
chris107: (hehe)
Keelia: Bright Star wanders over, slowly, as to not appear that interested. she doesn't want to look eager and drive the price up.
Smon: The Kazadurgar merchant completes his trade and sees the two Quaggoth taken down from the block. He turns to Bright Star, looking her over, clearly has not seen a Nemuan/Tabaxi before. "Welcome ...milady?"
Keelia: She nods.
Smon: The one on the right looks about right for him - http://s3.amazonaws.com/gw_rssimagefull/100543717-4.jpg
Keelia: "This one has use of all limbs and such? Bright Star requires a lady-maid and this one seems suitable."
Keelia: she motions at the lady, drawling her words somewhat.
Keelia: "The right shape, although the lack of fur is always off-putting,"
Smon: The Kazadurgar nods. "An excellent choice! She is in near perfect condition! Selected by high priest Khand himself as the exquisite representation of her species."
Keelia: Bright Star pretends to consider her. "Bright Star does not pretend to understand how such a species should look, but she has hands and walks as a Tabaxi, so she will have to do."
Smon: Down the western avenue that leads out of the market, Bright Star sees two richly garbed Dyzon Kylryl Vrilya merchant types approaching, their eyes kohled.
Keelia: She turns her attention to the Kazadurgar. "What price do you ask?"
Smon: /roll d20
Smon rolls 1d20 and gets: 12,
Smon: "Well, for such a pearl of perfection as this, I could ask no less than five hundred gold."
Smon: The two Vrilya stop as one points out the flame-haired girl on the block. They exchange whispered conversation.
Keelia: Bright Star narrows her eyes at the approaching Vrilyas and gets the feeling she needs to close the deal now "Normally, Bright Star would bargain, but she is on a tight schedule. Done."
Keelia: She pulls out the gold and hands it over.
Keelia: before the others could get involved.
Smon: The fat Duergar grins. "Done!" He offers a gauntleted hand to shake, his other hand reaching for the coin purse.
Keelia: "She has an engagement and her fur must be perfect and there is so little time."
Keelia: She reaches out and shakes the hand, passing over the purse
chris107: (nicely done)
Keelia: Her tail lashes low and sharp. "Bright Star will take possession now."
JamesDevil: well played, now get out of there before anything goes wrong!
Smon: He takes the money and has two guards bring the girl down from the block, passing over a key to the iron collar that encircles her throat. The two Vrilya mutter, looking annoyed. One steps forward. "Vorgin! You promised us the pick, you said!"
Keelia: (thanks Would have preferred to bargain but when anybody with eye makeup shows up, even Bright Star knows to get out of there."
Keelia: She takes the key with deft fingers.
Keelia: "Lovely to do business with you."
Smon: Vorgin scowls and turns away from Bright Star (she can grab the redhead girl's wrist - she looks about 25) to face the angry brothel-keepers of the Dyzon Kylryl.
Smon: GM: Is she heading back for the tavern?
Keelia: She moves towards the slave, grabs hold of her quickly and drags her off.
Keelia: back towards tavern.
sandor sunneson: well done
sandor sunneson: BS
Smon: Vorgin: "You are too slow, my friends! We have been here almost an hour! How about a fine plump goblin-maid, eh?"
JamesDevil: wp
Keelia: as soon as they are far enough away to not be heard by those with ears as good as hers, she turns to the lady. "Fear not, Bright Star is a friend. She shall bring you to other friends and get you home."
Keelia: (Thanks )
Smon: The Vrilya and Kazadurgar argument is getting heated as BS swiftly drags the unresisting woman back across the square, navigating the market stalls and into the fuggy tavern.
Smon: A couple of armoured orc mercenaries give an appreciative whistle at the sight of the barely dressed redhead as BS gets over to her companions at the now-crowded table.
chris107: Mordred offers the young lady his cloak.
chris107: and his seat.
JamesDevil: is she injuryed in anyway?
Smon: Mordred stands and offers her his cloak (though it's warm in here) - the girl nods gratefully. "Th-thank you."
Keelia: She tucks Mordred's cloak around the redhead and grabs one of the drinks from in front of Danor and downs it.
joriandrake: Alvariel places away the scrolls and slowly finishes his coffee as he plays with a platinum lock of hair. "This blend is fascinating, I must know what that milk is."
chris107: (It was not offered for warmth... )
Smon: She sits. She looks pale, with a few scrapes on knee and elbow, and a bit underfed; nothing major.
sandor sunneson: lol
joriandrake: As he looks up he notices the newcomer. "Oh, greeting fair lady."
sandor sunneson: Sandro thinks she needs some food to warm her up
Keelia: She returns Danor's and Mordred's money as she had plenty herself.
Smon: Saralya: "Rothe milk, purchased from the Mountain Trolls.. though I expect they will not concern us much longer."
JamesDevil: Danor will lean over place a hand over hers and cast cure wounds anyway, "be at ease young lady"
chris107: "Thank you."
JamesDevil rolls 1d8+5 and gets: 4, (+5) = 9
Smon: The girl looks in wonder as her scrapes vanish. "Th-thank you. I'm Meera, Meera Tanis... at least I think I am. Do you know, does Mikael yet live?"
Smon: (you can request history checks if desired)
Keelia: "We will need to get her topside and back to her people quickly. There were others looking to purchase her and Bright Star thinks they are the type to attempt to acquire with a blade between someone's ribs."
JamesDevil: his tory check plz
Smon: ok roll dc 15
Keelia: (yes please)
joriandrake: ( Alvariel would like to try too)
JamesDevil rolls 1d20+7 and gets: 3, (+7) = 10
chris107 rolls 1d20+6 and gets: 10, (+6) = 16
Keelia rolls 1d20 and gets: 6,
JamesDevil: ugh
sandor sunneson rolls 1d20+5 and gets: 20, (+5) = 25
Keelia: (@james - ha! better than mine!)
joriandrake rolls 1d20+10 and gets: 15, (+10) = 25
JamesDevil: O.o
joriandrake: (Fergus's char is as good as my walking library)
chris107:
Keelia: (Danor and Bright Star have an excuse for not knowing what everyone else seems to. They've been drinking in a cave )
sandor sunneson: Sure 20 beats anything??
Keelia: (brilliant roll, Ferg!)
JamesDevil: ooc well done mate
sandor sunneson:
sandor sunneson: beats the 1 which normally starts the rolls
Smon: Mordred Sandro & Alvariel have heard of Mikael Tanis of Anyf, a wealthy merchant who often visits Selatine to purchase magic and treasures looted from Stonehell. Three months ago it's said his new bride Meera vanished on their wedding night, some say abducted by the Goblins who live in the sewers under Ahyf. A band of heroes led by brave Prince Sandor went in search of her, reportedly battled Duergar in caves south of Anyf.
Keelia: Bright Star rests a comforting hand on her shoulder and looks to see if anyone knows this Mikael.
chris107: "Filthy beasts. And on her wedding night. Tsk."
Smon: Sandro knows that the Duergar planned to sacrifice Meera to some dark god, but this was disrupted by Sandor, Shieldbiter, Moffet & Prisha Acharya.
joriandrake: "Wait, I heard of her.... I believe from Viola or Lady Esmalia."
sandor sunneson: You are lucky to be alive fine lady, but I have no idea of what happened to Mikael
Smon: Meera looks around the tavern. "I... I suppose *you* all know where we are? I've been underground for weeks... I think we travelled a long way."
sandor sunneson: or where he was last seen
JamesDevil: "we are in the lower parts of Stonehell"
Smon: Alvariel - you know Mikael is still alive, probably in Ahyf.
chris107: "We are not far from Ahyf my lady, though far undeground."
Keelia: Bright Star's ears twitch. "And not too far from Selatine."
joriandrake: "I believe I met this Mikael in Ahyf before I came here"
Smon: Meera looks to Danor. "Stonehell... Yes, near Selatine, where Mikael trades." She sighs. Looks to Bright Star. "Thank you for saving me."
Keelia: "You are quite welcome."
JamesDevil: "right, one more drink then get her back to somewhere more civilised?"
Smon: Saralya and Dyvim have been watching all this with amusement. Now Dyvim speaks, standing: "I need to report back to my Comprador. I have a plan, if you aim to stay in Tanna T'iev for long... you will need allies."
joriandrake: "Viola, Lady Esmalia and Lady Mealia visited Ahyf for the planning of a new shrine and I tagged along after the library opening at Carchimish. I think Mikael sold some things to the temple"
Keelia: Bright Star bows towards Dyvim. "Our thanks."
joriandrake: He smiles "So rest assured, he should be safe"
Smon: Meera Tanis nods to Alvariel. "That makes sense - he has trading interests in Carchimish, too."
Smon: She smiles gratefully at Alvariel.
Smon: Saralya selects a smoking green gourd and passes it to Danor. "You should enjoy this one. They call it Dewlip."
JamesDevil: hmm, Danor downs it
Smon: Dyvim smiles amiably at Bright Star, gives her a sort of half-salute, and turns to leave.
joriandrake: Alvariel turns to Brish Star "So what do you plan to do with your new slave? She was not legitimately taken so I'm not sure keeping her as slave is feasible, plus Mikael and others will be able to vouch for her."
Smon: The dewlip is bitter and ...minty.
joriandrake: bright*
JamesDevil: Mmmmm
Smon: Meera: "My husband will recompense you for my return. I'm sure he can find five hundred gold."
Keelia: "Bright Star's people do not keep slaves. She is a free woman. We just need to find a way to get her out and home."
JamesDevil: "we should return her post haste to a safe locale on the surface"
Smon: Dyvim nods to the bartenders and heads out the door.
chris107: Mordred strongly agrees with BS
Keelia: "Bright Star is less concerned about the gold and more concerned about how we get you safety home."
joriandrake: (Very sendible" Alvariel nods. "But you should probably accept recompensation."
joriandrake: (sorry) Very sensible*
JamesDevil: hmm
Smon: Saralya: "As long as you keep the collar on her, she should be safe in Tanna T'iev. We can return to the Upper Levels now if you wish - you will find the glowstones fade."
Keelia: She shrugs. "If he is able to compensate, Bright Star will accept. If not, Bright Star does not find gold worth more than a life."
Smon: GM: Are you heading back up to the surface now?
Keelia: (Bright Star internally wails at the thought of the shiny suddenly no longer being shiny!)
JamesDevil: yep
chris107: "We can purchase further stones once we have this lady safely home?"
Keelia: (Yes, I think so. we can't safely explore with a civilian)
Smon: GM: OK, Saralya suggests that Danor take the north door out of the tavern and work round to the elevator avoiding the Kazadurgar - she can show him the way.
Keelia: "Bright Star will cover the cost of the entry passes for anyone who does not have the gold.
JamesDevil: Danor will do so
Smon: Saralya: "Best if the rest of you leave by the front door; it will attract less attention."
JamesDevil: I gave you all of mine Bright
joriandrake: Alvariel pulls out a little heart shaped stone on a neclace from below his shirt. "May Meroya's love protect you on your path home and shield you from further danger."
Smon: Meera looks at Alvariel. "Th-thank you."
sandor sunneson: good plan
chris107: Good advice.
Keelia: Bright Star nods and heads that way. To Meera, "Stay between Mordred and Bright Star. Sandro take point. Alvariel behind. Try to block the view of her without looking like you are doing this."
Keelia: "Bright Star does not trust that those others will not attempt to take her still."
Smon: GM: OK while the main group head out the south/main door, Saralya leads Danor through a side door to north, onto a smaller square where a small crowd is gathered round a blood-stained punishment platform. A Vrilya official is intoning sentence on a hooded male figure while a bugbear executioner stands ready with axe.
Smon: ok encounter checks n & s
Smon: /roll d6x2
Smon Rolls 1d6x2 and gets:
1 = 1
5 = 5
joriandrake: He nods "If you need any further assistance feel free to turn to Meroya's temple in Ahyf. I'm a scholar and not a healer, but you can also get my help or that of Viola in Carchimish if you would require aid from an Alchemist or open a new trade route."
joriandrake: (I think 1 means encounter, right?)
Smon: GM: Both parties return without incident to the elevator platform on the east side of the cavern, north of a large stone shop/store, the sign in tongues including Common reads "The Thogrin's Hall - Provisioners"
chris107: (6 in Simongames)
Smon: 6
Keelia: (not necessarily, wait until Simon tells us)
sandor sunneson: normally 6 yes
Smon: Saralya points to the hall as you wait for the elevator to descend.
joriandrake: Alvariel takes out his previous parchment and continues to take notes on Stonehell
Smon: "The Thogrinn - a strange beast, always cowled. If you seek to trade in magical items, he often has a few, though his wares are not cheap."
JamesDevil: "You got any decent wepons or armour?"
sandor sunneson: Anything a ninja warrior might find of use??
Smon: The elevator descends to the floor of the burnished steel frame. A Dyzon Kylyrl steps forward. "Elevator fare, 10 gold each."
joriandrake: "I have nothing to spare for anything, I barely have 3 gold worth of coins left and I don't even have a pearl" He sighs
Keelia: Bright Star hums, glancing around, ensuring they were not followed.
chris107: Or magical charisma raising books?
joriandrake: Then Alvarial freezes at the mention of the ten gold
Smon: The Dyzon looks to Alvariel as he pleads poverty and smiles wickedly.
Keelia: Bright Star's ears twitch at the mention of a pearl.
JamesDevil: Danor toses Alvarial a 100gp pearl
chris107: Mordrd will pay from the funds BS returned if anyone can't afford it.
JamesDevil: "had that for ages
JamesDevil: "
Smon: 6 of you with Meera so 60gp total.
chris107: M will pay
Keelia: Bright Star watches the pearl with narrowed eyes, then turns to scowl at Danor. He knows she likes shinies.
Smon: LOL
Keelia: She hands some gold to Mordred for her share
Keelia: and for Meera
chris107: the 60
joriandrake: Alvariel blinks and nods at Danor and then Mordred "thank you...." He's not accustomed to such charity
JamesDevil: Danor ahnds her a 10GP piece of obsidion
sandor sunneson: Sandor pays his share
Smon: GM: The Vrilya waves you all aboard and the elevator ascends to the upper city.
Keelia: She coos over the shiny and it is immediately tucked into her bag. Some gold finds its way into his bag.
JamesDevil: @Bright "I gave you all of my gold to buy the slave, we area team"
joriandrake: "The pearl will hep as focus scomponent in identification of magical items."
Keelia: (she gave it all back)
joriandrake: Help* - As alvariel explains during the journey up
JamesDevil: o, ok
Keelia: (Bright Star has collected a fair amount of gold. Meera's purchase wasn't even 1/10th. She didn't use Danor or Mordred's money and returned it )
JamesDevil: hehe thats what I was using it for
Smon: GM: You head back up through the upper city on level 6 and the Vrilya outpost on level 5 , where Saralya bids you farewell. That night you return successfully to Selatine, where Lady Vex greets Meera warmly and gets her a nice russet dress - Lady Vex is a good bit shorter and curvier than the slender Meera, but it will do for now.
Smon: GM: OK I will do a time skip now.
chris107: (Much appreciated, Mordred just gave 90% of his wealth away)
joriandrake: (was able to get all spell components except the pearl from starting cash, so thanks for that James)
Keelia: (I only took the money at the time because I didn't have a total just notes of -1000 and +300 etc)
Keelia: (time skip music!)
joriandrake: Alvarial bows deeply at Lady Vex in silence as he observes the location, the Lady, and the events unfolding
Smon: You return Meera to Ahyf, where her fat husband Mikael is in excellent humour, having just acquired a ring of invisibility from a foolish Stonehell dungeon delver for 300 and sold it to Shieldbiter of Hara for 60,000...
Keelia: (whooo! that's a bit of a markup!)
JamesDevil: thats quite a profit margin
joriandrake: Alvariel sighs "That's one poor haggler there"
Smon: Mikael to Bright Star: "For returning my lovely wife, let you have ten times what it cost you!" A servant brings BS bulging bags of coin - 5000gp.
Smon: OOC Bill as SB haggled REALLY hard, we started at 135,000gp
chris107: Cost Dhieldbiter nothing using the stolen gold from Hakeem's victory
joriandrake: (so much shiny)
Smon:
Keelia: She nods and tucks the purse away.
joriandrake: OOC wow
Keelia: (that's a good haggle!)
Keelia: "Bright Star is glad we were able to return her safely."
chris107: Mordred too is pleased that we could save another poor lost soul.
JamesDevil: "indeed, just a shame we didn't burn that city down on the way out...."
Smon: Mikael: "And know that you are always welcome in my Hall!" Meera nods in firm agreement.
JamesDevil: "Gods I hate Duregr
JamesDevil: "
Keelia: She will later divide the gold, giving them each 1k of gold.
chris107: "They are wicked creatures, Danor. The world would be brighter without them."
joriandrake: Alvariel's jaw drops... "...but ...why?"
chris107: Thanks, Keelia
Smon: GM: Suggest in a few minutes we move on to 29/9/4448 and a new expedition to Stonehell?
chris107: Mordred gives 900GP of tht to the poor of Selatine and pockets the rest.
JamesDevil: "they are the scum of dwarf, no honor, nothing but darkness and hate"
joriandrake: "Not that I won't accept it, thank you very much my lady."
chris107: Cool with me
Keelia: Bright Star tilts her head at him and laughs. "Bright Star prefers shinies over gold. She sees little value in having it."
Smon: The poor of Selatine are doing very well
chris107: They are, over 6,000Gp in the last few weeks
sandor sunneson: Sandro will keep half of his
Keelia: (Very nice, Chris )
JamesDevil: Danor asks Mikael if he has xcome into poession of any interesting magic items recently
Keelia: (and Ferg )
joriandrake: "Fascinating, did Lady Bright Star not consider that she could buy all kinds of shiny items with the gold, or turn the gold into items?" Alvariel ponders as he places the money safely in his backpack
JamesDevil: Danor donates half of his to the poor
chris107: OOC - we are a kindly bunch
joriandrake: (Alvariel will use this for further mage stuff like for costs of scroll copying into his wizard book)
Keelia: "Bright Star could buy them, she knows. But it never hurts to keep gold as you non-furred people do all your trade in it."
Smon: Mikael: "I have various Common items - a fine Cloak of Billowing, for instance... a few Uncommon, most crafted by the excellent Dark Odo of Carchimish. Alchemical concoctions from Viola Narangi of the Meroya Temple..."
JamesDevil: hmm , any armours or weapons?
joriandrake: "I have a couple Keoghtom's Ointment that I brought with myself from Carchimish" Alvariel mentions hearing that
Smon: "I have a runescribed dagger (+1 dagger)... some alchemical concoctions of use in battle, too. Alkali, powerful against the acidic Oozes. Bottled Lightning... Flash Powder...."
Keelia: Bright Star peers at Mikael. "Bottled lightning and flash powder?"
sandor sunneson: What does a cloak of billowing do?
joriandrake: "Ah right." He looks up to Mikael from his parchemnt "I told Lady Meera you're welcome to visit the temple at Carchimish or the new one to be opened here in Ahyf if you need aid or assistance from the temple. I'll be at Stonehell for a while but you can also ask for my help, although I prefer libraries and books to prayers. I follow Meroya mainly for her aspect of secret knowledge and wisdom."
Smon: "It billows. Dramatically."
JamesDevil: lol
sandor sunneson: lol
Keelia: (lol!)

joriandrake: (brb looking up billowing)
Smon: Mikael looks at Alvariel, smiles slyly. "Not for the ...romantic... opportunities, eh?"
Keelia: Bright Star stifles a chuckle behind her hand.
joriandrake: "That never hurts either" He nods as Alvariel returns to scribbling in his papers "It clears body and mind"
Smon: Mikael turns to Bright Star. "Yes... shall I have a man fetch samples for your perusal?"
Keelia: She nods
JamesDevil: ooc (that will be 100KGP plz
Keelia: They sound like things that make make interesting traps
joriandrake: (so, billowing means the cloak blows as if wind was constantly blowing to create some heroic stance for the wearer?)
Smon: Flash Powder Price 100 gp;
DESCRIPTION
This coarse gray powder ignites and burns almost instantly if exposed to flame, significant friction, or even simple force such as throwing it against a floor (as an action). Creatures within a 10-foot-radius burst are blinded for 1 round unless they make a DC 10 CON save.
JamesDevil: yes
JamesDevil: hence our laughing
Keelia: (@jorian, yes. Like a superman cape)
joriandrake: (ah, cool)
JamesDevil: costs a bonus action
Smon: Bottled Lightning
Price 80 gp; Weight 1 lb.
DESCRIPTION
Electricity crackles along a metal filament inside this small glass bottle. You can open the bottle as an action, unleashing a small bolt of lightning toward an enemy within 20 feet of you. This deals 2d8 points of electricity damage. (DEX save DC 15 negates).
Keelia: Bright Star nods at both of the items. "Bright Star will take those."
JamesDevil: Danor will buy another pearl fr his identify spell
JamesDevil: while he's here
Smon: "I have four of each in stock. Would you like them all?"
Keelia: Bright Star nods. "Yes,"
Smon: Danor can buy a pearl in Ahyf yup.
JamesDevil: coolio
sandor sunneson: Sandro will buy some darts
Smon: Mikael: "A pleasure to meet you, Milady Star. Remember, the Tanis are your friends for life!"
joriandrake: (GM: is it possible to buy spell scrolls here?)
Smon: /roll d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets: 2,
Smon: Mikael has a few in stock, yes - most Rituals levels 1-3
Keelia: Bright Star thanks him
Smon: Also a few clerical spells 1-2
Smon: Anything in particular Alvariel looking for?
Smon: Mikael: "I recently acquired a scroll of Water Breathing - only 750 gold!"
joriandrake: Hm, I'm looking for lvl 1 - Feather Fall, Unseen Servant lvl 2 - Knock, Levitate, lvl 3 - Haste, Tidal Wave
Smon: "Or for those on a more limited budget, Alarm Identify and Unseen Servant on one scroll, only 150 gold!"
joriandrake: Alvariel nods "Thank you, I already learned Wather Breathing, I'm looking for the spell 'Tidal Wave'
joriandrake: "Oh, Unseen Servant does interest me"
joriandrake: (I always wanted a water mage and while I made the spell list for my char I noticed there are acouple new water-based spells now)
Smon: Mikael checks his level 2 spells: "Animal Messenger, Gentle Repose... sorry."
joriandrake: "Thank you anyway, I'll buy the scroll for 150 gp"
Smon: "So, excellent! This scroll of three spells is yours."
Smon: (deduct cash, add scroll)
joriandrake: also the required ink and gadgets for writing from them into my spellbook
Smon: (I think you'd have that already as a Wiz-5)
joriandrake: (I believe that is 50gp per spell level? - I meant I want to also spend the required money cost for that ingame as such )
Smon: The lovely Mikael Tanis in his finery - https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMq-UY5R3U5QFzTQPM-cF1AfuHeM6puo4V8wu0RRo0HR90G18R3kyquA_huZvyfa1j9aWW89xJKmzTAs2RNPHNl2g8yc2HDJQGJcqrh9Ux4vvHo8EVkhpLw3W46xxANqFgVgsxoRAjNXQ/s400/Mikael+Tanis.jpg
Smon: (check your PHB)
sandor sunneson: cool pic
chris107: Mordred is eager for adventure.
Smon: GM: OK moving on...
Keelia: "Which level shall we try for?"
chris107: "Back to the 9th?"
Smon: Some weeks have passed and you all have a nice tan from the sea trip back from Ahyf when you assemble again in Selatine. Word from the north is the Skandik fleet has been sunk in a terrible storm, saving the CSIO and likely the Ghinarian Hills, too - their leader King Alkazed was saved by the magics of Megaera Lorvas, High Priestess of the Black Sun.
JamesDevil: sounds good! lets go
Smon: Everyone is very happy at the news of the disaster.
Keelia: why not
chris107: "Yay!"
Keelia: (yay, disaster!)
JamesDevil: ecellent
sandor sunneson: Lol, even nature is against them
Keelia:
chris107:
sandor sunneson: Was it a magic storm or rolled up by chance?
Smon: (that was Bill's wizard using Control Winds, see he is good for something!) OK one fine morn at the very end of the Dry Season you head west over Selatine Plain...
chris107: (A Bill created storm, actually )
sandor sunneson: (Asking out of curiousity)
sandor sunneson: cool
Smon: Reaching Stonehell Level 1 you can take the Efah-Soom teleporter to the Vrilya teleport chamber on level 5. From there you want to teleport down to level 9?
Keelia: Sure. Let's go!
JamesDevil: yep
chris107: yes please
Smon: For those on FB, Keelia's excellent level 9 map - https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=551739685282802&set=g.1736925893237128&type=1&theater&ifg=1
chris107: (would you like to continue as it's your level 9 map, Keelia?)
chris107: (I'm happy to map any future levels)
Smon: With a bright flash you arrive safely on level 9; use the logs to wedge open the slamming doors and enter the chamber of the Stone Snake...
Smon: /roll d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets: 1,
Smon: All seems quiet.
Keelia: (If you would like to map, Chris, please go ahead. If you don't want to, then I will.)
sandor sunneson: Sandor gets his swords out and starts swishing them around to warm up
Keelia: (but I need to find the map notebook.)
chris107: (no worries, I'll sort it. Just wondered if you wished to complete it )
Keelia: (you do better maps than I do )
joriandrake: (if that map exists ingame then Alvariel will ask to copy it)
Smon: Rubble piles; large, colorful feathers strewn about; the scent of scales, feathers, and damp stone.
Smon: yes it exists in game
chris107: Shall we start from south of the Hydra room/
Smon: as do all the maps
chris107: (You are too modest, Keelia)
Smon: (yup)
joriandrake: Alvariel will ask to be allowed to copy the Stonehell maps in his papers and follow the others
Smon: (But Chris's are excellent too)
Keelia: Bright Star reminds them that they have several options unexplored. (off the bell room, past the hydra room, the other side of the hydra room, and the unknown trap/ambush room
joriandrake: He stops and inspects the colorful feathers however
chris107: OOC - I'd suggest either east through the Hydra room or south past it.
Smon: The feathers are very large, iridiscent but oddly reminiscent of chicken feathers.
joriandrake: (if there is a purple one he'll pick that up to add to his black and white ones on his hat)
chris107: (Just to make mapping simple for me )
sandor sunneson: sounds good, south>
?
Keelia: Bright Star picks her way down through the Lair, past the glass room, into the ooze hall, and down towards the hydra room.
JamesDevil: Danor follow
joriandrake: Not purple but iridiscent... he decides to take one with him as a writing feather
chris107: Mordred follows.
JamesDevil: Danor also casts Aid on the other three memebers of the arty +5 tempt hp for each of you
JamesDevil: o wait, there s4 of you
chris107: Thanks, James
JamesDevil: who has the highest hp?
Smon: GM: You head east into the great black-tiled hall with ogre mouth tunnel to north, then south to the intersection west of the DIEDRA room, where you fought a 75% fatality battle with the zombie cryohydra.
JamesDevil: i can only do three or i have to go up a slot
joriandrake: very likely that i'm the one with the fewest
joriandrake: (Alvariel max hp 32)
Keelia: "Fear not. That cockatrice is dead," she calls out to Alvariel. "
chris107: Mordred will pass the aid so the others can benefit.
Smon: The dark purple-black stone of the tunnels here gives it a sinister, oppressive feel compared to the tan and gray limestone of Stonehell's upper halls.
Keelia: (max 45)
joriandrake: "oooh, a cockatrice feather, perfect"
Keelia: (ah, the cryohydra, good times)
JamesDevil: no hp boost for Modred then
JamesDevil: -.-
Keelia: (thanks for aid)
Smon: It's like a very big cockatrice feather yup.
Smon: Some suspect the Stone Snake is an advanced Cockatrice!
Smon: /roll d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets: 4,
joriandrake: Alvariel closely watches the purple-black stones "These would perfectly fit my wardrobe" he mentions as he looks at them
Smon: Still quiet...
chris107: "Soth or East?"
sandor sunneson: South?
Smon: e tunnel 20' to Diedra. s tunnel has numerous side arches.
JamesDevil: South
Keelia: South? We know there was a tunnel past the diedra room
JamesDevil: wait, is south the room with the fake floor?
Keelia: (as simon just reminded )
chris107: I have the first one west marked on the map Ithink?
joriandrake: Alvarial stops for a moment and he casts Mage Armor on himself
Keelia: the trap room was west of the diedra room.
Smon: OK 40' down the south tunnel into unknown territory you reach an intersection, a side tunnel runs west.
Keelia: We didn't go further south
JamesDevil: did we even loot the hydra room?
chris107: We head south beyond the Hydra lair50'
Smon: (yes BS looted best of Hydra room)
chris107: (Thanks, Simon.)
chris107: Mordred looks west and south beyond.
JamesDevil: ok, so we headed south from the cross section, turn west?
Keelia: (she carried loot and bodies out )
Keelia: works for me
chris107:
joriandrake: The half-elf continues walking after the others as he checks the copied maps of the area
Smon: To the west the tunnel runs 55' then opens into a chamber (n end of e wall), which looks about 20' deep e-w.
JamesDevil: anything odd about the stonework in here?
JamesDevil: remembering the fake floor in that other room
joriandrake: "Hm. Did any of you find a so-called Atramental Cruor, the 'Lifeblood of the Gaea' yet down here?"
Smon: To the south from the intersection the tunnel runs 50' to end at a door, but there are 2 arches to east 15' and 35' down, and a second side tunnel to west 20' down.
Smon: GM: You'll need to go west to the chamber there to inspect its floor Danor.
JamesDevil: ok
Smon: Everyone roll Insight DC 18 please
Keelia: Bright Star shakes her head at Alvariel. "Nothing unusual like that yet on this level. Just deadly beasts."
sandor sunneson: Sandro shrugs, not me
Keelia rolls 1d20+5 and gets: 10, (+5) = 15
JamesDevil rolls 1d20+8 and gets: 9, (+8) = 17
JamesDevil: aw, comeon....
sandor sunneson rolls 1d20 and gets: 15,
chris107 rolls 1d20+3 and gets: 14, (+3) = 17
sandor sunneson: +5=20
JamesDevil: shoukld have guideanced myself....
joriandrake rolls 1d20+5 and gets: 17, (+5) = 22
Keelia: (Yay, fern and jorian)
JamesDevil: nice
Keelia: (stupid autocorrect, sorry, Ferg)
Smon: Sandro and Alvarriel feel an odd sense of melancholy. Time weighs heavy on these halls. Who built them, so long ago?
sandor sunneson: lol
Smon: Where are they now?
joriandrake: (at least your typos are not your own fault as in my case )
JamesDevil: wait, Fergus has been a walking plant this whole time?
Keelia: (ah, we should quickly double back and get our 1 vial/day of super holy water)
joriandrake: (Simon: attempt at Arcane or History roll?)
Keelia: (after this room)
Smon: (@J nope)
joriandrake: (k)
sandor sunneson: lol
Smon: Are you heading west from the intersection?
JamesDevil: can I? i failed the wisdom but stonework is kinda my thing
joriandrake: "These halls ....feel ancient. Hmm"
chris107: Yes, let's see what's in the chamber
sandor sunneson: Sandro wonders if there will be any wondering monsters to fight
chris107: w 55' into 20' wide chamber heading south.
JamesDevil: we are
joriandrake: (The monsters might wonder if there will be any Sandros to fight)
Keelia: Bright Star engages stealth and tiptoes towards the chamber
sandor sunneson: Sandro remains on alert
Keelia rolls 1d20+14 and gets: 2, (+14) = 16
chris107: Mordred 30' behind her, stealthily as he can.
Keelia: (what a crap roll)
Keelia: (ah well.)
Smon: GM: The five of you head west, Alvariel wondering why these smooth purple-black halls seem so strange and unfamiliar. Isn't he a font of Arcane & Historical knowledge? What's wrong with him?
chris107: hard lines, Keelia
joriandrake: Alvariel will also try to hide, behind the others backs probably
joriandrake rolls 1d20+4 and gets: 9, (+4) = 13
Smon: GM: The tunnel opens out into a dusty 20x20 chamber. On the south side 10' wide stairs lead upwards. Lump of debris & cloth in one corner of room; motes of dust hang in the air.
joriandrake: "I'm not used to 'sense' something from halls. I usually either know of them or not." He mumbles while trying to hide behind Sandro
Keelia: "Hm, we do not want to go up, but down," Bright Star comments. "Let us turn back and continue South. After we get the holy water."
sandor sunneson: Any footprints visible on the dusty floor?
Keelia: She glances quickly at the floor, then since they were in the ooze room a little bit ago, back up at the ceiling.
chris107: "Aye, let's stick together though while we get the water."
Smon: The debris in the SW corner appears to be a desiccated corpse in rotted leathers, slumped over a leather sack.
JamesDevil: "indeed"
JamesDevil: hmm
Keelia: Bright Star pauses. "Hmmm. Treasure?"
joriandrake: "Holy water? I can prepare vial of holy water, although it takes a hour. You say there's a way t o just get it, like a fountain down here?"
Smon: Sandro comes up beside Bright Star and examines the floor - roll Survival Sandro.
Keelia: "It's special holy water."
joriandrake: "Fascinating."
sandor sunneson rolls 1d20+5 and gets: 15, (+5) = 20
chris107: nice!
Keelia: "Does amazing things," she comments off-handedly.
chris107: "We discovered a font that produces potent holy water."
joriandrake: "will have to get some to an alchemy lab then" Alvariel responds
Keelia: "But the font only produces enough to collect one vial per day."
joriandrake: "Hm, it might start to dry up then"
Smon: There is a fair bit of dust on the floor, and no recent tracks. There are tracks weeks old the now-corpse made, from the stairs to the corner where he died, now slightly dust-covered. Hmm... he looks unusually desicatted for a few weeks dead.
chris107: Mordred watches over Sandro.
chris107: from the entrance
Smon: You are all at the east entrance currently.
Keelia: She peers around the walls and ceiling, mildly paranoid. "Bright Star wishes to see what that corpse guards. Danor, ready anti-undead magic?"
chris107: ah
JamesDevil: Bright., maybe take a look at that sack
Smon: roll perception BS
Keelia rolls 1d20+8 and gets: 14, (+8) = 22
joriandrake: If you give me ten minutes I can prepare a Detect Magic ritual"
Smon: EXACT pass
joriandrake: ""*
chris107: yay
Keelia: (yes!)
sandor sunneson:
JamesDevil: nice
Keelia: (quickly taking bets - ooze or bugs or undead?)
JamesDevil: i'm hoping for undead
Smon: Despite the distraction of Alvariel nattering, BS is able to focus on the walls & ceiling... and suddenly what had first appeared to be blank walls & roof 'resolves' into seven enormous chameleon spiders, hugging the walls & ceiling, silent & unmoving.
chris107: Crikey!
Keelia: She hisses softly. "Chameleon spiders. Be ready to defend yourselves if they attack."
Smon: They must be aware of you, but are likely waiting for you to enter the room.
Keelia: "Bright Star counts 7."
Smon: Or maybe they're just sleeping.
joriandrake: "Let's not go into their 'lair' then"
joriandrake: "Hm, if we need to pass here I could try blast them with a fireball"
Keelia: "We do not need to pass. We are interested in the contents of the bag."
JamesDevil: Danor is ready to cast spiritual guardians if we want to take them now
sandor sunneson: best not to keep it for later??
joriandrake: "Sneaking for it might be best then"
chris107: "This small chamber conceals seven of the brutes?"
Keelia: (Is the bag open to the air? Could she lasso it?)
JamesDevil: ttry to sneak, if it fails we figth
Keelia: (or is the body blocking that)
Smon: The spiders have short legs with suckers and great crushing mandibles, they are about 6' across including legs.
chris107: OOC Spiritual Guardians!
JamesDevil: guidance on Brightstar
joriandrake: (Right, we can prepare attacks/spells and Brightstar try to sneak, so we can act if it fails yes?)
chris107: Mordred is ready to protect BS if the spiders pounce.
sandor sunneson: Maybe FB would work??
sandor sunneson: and then pounce on any survivers
Smon: The leather bag is under the corpse. It looks lumpy - coin, maybe? If so something under 1000 coins looks likely.
Keelia: (7x6' of spiders... Bright Star takes a deep breath)
Keelia: (What's FB?)
JamesDevil: FFireball
Keelia: (thx)
Keelia: "Shall we fight for coin or find bigger prey?"
joriandrake: (it might include papers, maps, notes, and smaller items too) Alvariel prepares to cast fireball on the spot where most pointed out spiders would get hit in case Brightstar's sneaky ways fail
Keelia: She readies herself and engages stealth
Keelia rolls 1d20+14 and gets: 6, (+14) = 20
Keelia: after all, it could be shinies
Keelia: (another poor roll.)
joriandrake: (I think you got guidance on you for +d4)
Smon: BS creeps into the room towards the corpse?
Keelia rolls 1d4 and gets: 1,
JamesDevil: lol
Keelia: 21 to stealth.
JamesDevil: every little help
Keelia: she puts one foot into the room, watching the spiders carefully
Keelia: (it does (
Keelia: If they move, she is out of there!

Keelia rolls 1d20+8 and gets: 7, (+8) = 15

JamesDevil: once*
Keelia: (I can just see all these spiders dropping and Bright Star looking like she's breakdancing as she tries to roll out of the way of all of them.)
chris107: ( )
Keelia: (and then shooting out of the room like a cat that's been dropped in a tub)
joriandrake: I thought i could cast the readied spell right away, oh well
Smon: no JOrian

Keelia: and she's dodging like a pinball
Smon: What do you do Sandro?
sandor sunneson: Well if MU is going to cast a FB, he is going to get chuck a couple of darts and get out of the way
joriandrake: "prepare for fire blast!" Alvariel warns
Smon: OK Sandro can throw at the spider nearest Star
Smon: roll to hit AC 15

chris107: (The room is only 20' square remember)
JamesDevil: thats fine
JamesDevil: its a 15' radius
joriandrake: (that means all inside will be in spell radius i think)
Smon: GM: Striding in, the dwarven forge spirits springing up around him... he can catch all the spiders in the aoe
JamesDevil: even better
joriandrake: as you wish
chris107: (more for the FB, James )
Smon: Cast at base level (3)?

JamesDevil: DC will be 16
Smon: #17 Bright Star
Smon: you have 1 spider adjacent currently
Keelia: draw her sword and attack.

Keelia rolls 5d6+5 and gets: 5, 6, 1, 1, 1, (+5) = 19

Smon: (also Danor is the one PC who might survive a bunch of spider bites!)
JamesDevil: "I hate bugs...."
Smon: #13 Alvariel your go
JamesDevil: "Nuk'em"
joriandrake: "Spider are Araneae not bugs." Alvariel casts fireball on the spot where most spiders would get hit, the 20-foot radius fiery sphere's target area preferably somewhat raised in height if possible to avoid hitting the corpse's stuff and companions (only Danor inside?)
JamesDevil: yep just me
Smon: If you aim for the far SW corner where the corpse is you can just avoid crisping yourself but will get all spiders + Danor

10:43am 2018-9-29 sandor sunneson Has exited the room
Smon: XP: 2540 to Bright Star inc a 500 bonus for getting the girl, 2040 to other PCs.
Keelia: awesome!
JamesDevil: nice
joriandrake: "Hmm, this wa a fun warm up battle. The next time we do a short rest I will restore my spell"
chris107: yay!
joriandrake: thanks SImon
chris107: Thanks, folks. I gotta fly!
JamesDevil: thanks Simon, good game
chris107: See you next week
joriandrake: havea good flight
JamesDevil: cya all, have a nice day/night
Smon: GM: Will continue from here next week, I'm putting you +1 week in time line
Smon: so 6/10
JamesDevil: cool
joriandrake: bye all
Keelia: If we are going to leave the dungeon, Bright Star will grab a vial of the holy water.
10:45am 2018-9-29 chris107 Has exited the room
Smon: Can get holy water & stay in dungeon
Keelia: so, same time next week, weekly instead of fortnightly?
Smon: yup
10:46am 2018-9-29 JamesDevil Has exited the room
Smon: w Bill next week
Keelia: cool, just wanted to grab that if we were leaving so when we returned we could have another shot but if we are picking up at same point, it can wait for next week
joriandrake: I think its okay if we stay in dungeon and have a short rest at the holy water place
Smon: Bill is desperate to be allowed to play his Bbn-18 in Stonehell but I said not yet
Keelia: ah, i've levelled
Smon: good plan J
Smon: congrats K
joriandrake: I wouldn't mind that but it would be an overkill
joriandrake: congrats, yes
Keelia: Good call I think an 18 barb with a bunch of level 8s is a bit unbalanced
Smon: My rule is only when the PCs get to third tier (11+) can higher tier (17+) join.
joriandrake: it would've worked for a high level cleric but for various reasons it was just better to roll a new char instead of taking Prisha here
Smon: He & Fergus's Sandro would be good for crushing the Nixthisis but you need a few more levels first
joriandrake: True, those two can power through a lot, in Bochi's game as well the fighter does all the ...fighting
Keelia: we'll have to hang around floors 8 & 9 for a while until we power up a little more
joriandrake: fighter and barbarian lower level chars can survive higher level stuff while I sense that higher than average level is often needed for druid, wizard or cleric teams, Danor seems like focusing on battle though
Smon: Also I think I'll leave it to you guys whether you want them in - it would be advisable for actually fighting Nixthisis but you could prob survive w/out them otherwise if play smart enough
Keelia: us, smart ? ha! no, we have no self-preservation
joriandrake: I'm not opposed to have anyone who wants to join
Smon: Danor is v powerful v most stuff
Smon: But he has died twice recently
Keelia: we might as well pull them in so we don't TPK
joriandrake: ah I remember
joriandrake: Even if they doN't do anything as long Sandor and Bill's char are here to act as living walls for the rest it will be good
joriandrake: I think they carried through most battles in the higher level group as well
Keelia: Hm, I can try to charm creatures now ;0
Smon: Yeah their main advtg as high level bbns is unkillability!
Smon: Cool K
Keelia: Bright Star does best hiding behind a wall of muscle and A/C!
joriandrake: hm? you're an arcane trickster?
