Yin: Well hey, narrowed it down to 4, half-orc spear dude, tiefling binder, vampire, and necromancer. Yin: 1d4 Fortuna: Yin, 1d4: [3] = 3 Yin: Vampire it is. Igfig: All right. Brief recap for Fortuna and posterity, please? Hyrrskegg: We crossed the gorge, found a house, the people in the house got attacked by bats Yin: Big bats. Igfig: Very well Barvo: Everyone is now across the gorge as well. Alek_Deckard joined #pwot_dnd. Yin left #pwot_dnd. Igfig: As you pull yourself out of the gorge, you can hear a great ruckus inside the building Igfig: which is quite a bit larger than a house, actually Igfig: the ruckus is, as we know, Black Dynamite and Bashal being attacked by bats Hyrrskegg: Bet there's a lot of treasure in there Igfig: the screeching can be heard for a long ways Cynthia: Oh, I do love treasyre Cynthia: (treasure*) Igfig: by the time you get right up near to the building, however Igfig: oh wait, are you playing Bashal after all? Barvo: arghhh Bashal: It was suggested for continuity's sake. Bashal: I could switch back again again. Igfig: Yes, but then I figured out a clever way it would work with Bashal elsewhere Bashal: Alrighty then, back to Alek then. Igfig: so yeah, go ahead and switch back back Hyrrskegg: bravely switch again again Bashal: It works since Black Dynamite isn't here either anyways. Igfig: by the time you get right up near to the building, however Barvo: Hyrr.. monty python references earn you a penalty. Igfig: the woods have fallen silent again Hyrrskegg: someone did it last time without penalty Alek_Deckard: No I gave out combat advantage for it. Lakanu: Those bats are dynamite! Lakanu: I'm sorry Hyrrskegg: oh Cynthia: YEAH Igfig: except for the sound of feet coming toward you from down the trail Igfig: (that would be all the characters who weren't here last time) Igfig: (you guys are another band of adventurers, I guess) Barvo waves Hyrrskegg does the secret barbarian handshake Lakanu nods Barvo reciprocates Hyrrskegg: we just headbutted each other Barvo: Yup Cynthia waves Igfig: So now that you're all acquainted Alek_Deckard waves. Barvo: Which would look rather amusing Barvo: considering that you are a dwarf and Barvo is a Goliath Igfig: all without saying a word Cynthia: We are just friendly like that RobotDave: (How do you do that? The "actions" thing?) Igfig: guess so Cynthia: ./me Lakanu: We already know eachother Barvo: (/me) Igfig: /me does thing RobotDave tries it out RobotDave: Awesome RobotDave: Thanks Jacques: We can sense each other's souls Cynthia: it's like the force Lakanu: I'm a shardmind, I'm telepathic Lakanu: I say hello in all your heads Igfig: Or maybe you've met, back in town Barvo: You will find nothing to read in my mind. Lakanu: It sounds like someone blowing over a jug RobotDave: I don't think I have a soul Cynthia: barvo is too stupid to have coherent thoughts Cynthia: That is just racist Jacques: My mind is just too full of stuff to read quickly Barvo: all of that stuff is about how your hair looks Jacques: That's only the first layer. The first of many layers. Just as my hair is very well-layered. Igfig: so... do you have any intention of finding out what just happened to Black Dynamite and a hobo? Cynthia: Yeah sure Alek_Deckard: And Alek is having a random thought on wondering what Pelor eats for breakfast. Hyrrskegg: Jacques, you're a Genasi, your hair is fire Cynthia: "Someone should go inside and find their bodies" Barvo: Barvo no like bats. Igfig: By the way, telepathy lets you transmit, not read Barvo: We go kill bats? Alek_Deckard: "Bodies? What happened?" Lakanu: Damn Cynthia: I am not going to mess up my hair with bat blood, well not if it's not needed that is Hyrrskegg: "One of our guys ran in like an idiot and got eaten by bats" Lakanu: It is Barvo: "Baatttsss" Cynthia: Ahh well, lead on then RobotDave: DAVE THINKS THAT IS STUPID OF YOUR GUY Igfig: (You other guys were attracted here by the ruckus, by the way) Hyrrskegg: (Dave was with us) RobotDave: (Nvm) Barvo: (dave was somewhat upset with that fellow anyway) Barvo: We go in now. Hyrrskegg: "But, we should head in anyway. See if we can loot his body, at least." Alek_Deckard: "No sense in delaying." RobotDave opens door Igfig: You enter through the door to the south Barvo goes inside. Alek_Deckard: Still kinda dark inside the building? Cynthia: I peer through the door Igfig: to quote Slim's original description, Barvo: "It dark in here" Igfig: "The air is heavy with moisture and you can see the dust almost like snow in the shafts of sunlight that seep through the vine and root filled windows." Jacques: My hair lights the way Igfig: "Otherwise, it is a dark, overgrown room. It is a entry way of some sort, obviously not the main room." Hyrrskegg: I'm assuming we all go in Cynthia: Is there any sound at all coming from inside? Alek_Deckard leaves his hood up since there is light coming in through some of the windows. Igfig: You can see hallways leading off into the darkness in various directions Lakanu: Perception check? For traps and shiz, any details Lakanu: 1d20+12 Fortuna: Lakanu, 1d20+12: [3] = 15 Cynthia: oh my Cynthia: I'll try too Cynthia: 1d20+9 Fortuna: Cynthia, 1d20+9: [11] = 20 Alek_Deckard: I'll join in as well on the rolling fun. Alek_Deckard: 1d20+7 Perception Check with Darkvision. Fortuna: Alek_Deckard, Perception Check with Darkvision.: [8] = 15 Barvo: (20 is enough) Alek_Deckard: Maybe. Igfig: well, your passive perception was already quite enough to notice a heap of something on the ground a ways down the main passage, just at the edge of your light Cynthia: "Does anyone have a torch?" Lakanu: I helped! Igfig: and to hear the flap of leathery wings RobotDave: DAVE THINKS THERE MAY BE BATS HERE. Igfig: I assume you're already using a torch or sunrod or something Cynthia: okay sure Lakanu: I can't help but think Dave is shouting when it's all caps RobotDave: I was told that Dave speaks much in caps. Cynthia: I imagine it in a robot's voice. Lakanu: I know, just seems like it RobotDave: Yay imagination. Barvo: Dave speaks in caps at all times. Lakanu: Everything I say is telepathic, by the way Igfig: Areas I highlight in yellow are well-enough lit Igfig: other areas are dark Igfig: what's the range on your light source, whatever it is? Cynthia: I tell cream corn to go scout the hallway in front of us Hyrrskegg: what about low-light? Alek_Deckard: And darkvision. Hyrrskegg: darkvision means you can see fine, I think Igfig: good point. The windows are letting in low-light Igfig: your torch and the door, full light Hyrrskegg: dark everywhere else? Igfig: yep Hyrrskegg: gotcha Hyrrskegg: Who has the torch? Igfig: the pink is low light Barvo: Barvo has his axe out Barvo: he does not have a torch out. Igfig: right Hyrrskegg: Me too. Who has the torch? Igfig: Who has a hand free? Cynthia: not me Cynthia: I mean Jacques: Woops. I gotta go. See you all! Cynthia: sure I do Igfig: Bye! Cynthia: toodle! RobotDave: I probably do. Should I hold it? Jacques: I'll have MY OWN BACKUP CHARACTER by the next time we meet. RobotDave: bye Jacques! Jacques: Jacques turns into a torch for them to carry Hyrrskegg: Ig, since we already have a barbarian, you mind if I switch to Jacques? Igfig: I think you need your free hand to grab people, Dave Cynthia: I already have a torch out Jacques: Seeya RobotDave: ... I grab people? RobotDave: That is awesome Jacques quit. Hyrrskegg: That's not dave, I don't think? Cynthia: how many arms does dave have? Hyrrskegg: Dave has a shield Igfig: Uh... sure, if you really want, Hyrr Igfig: oh, that could be Hyrrskegg: I think you're thinking of Tor Hyrrskegg: my brawler Igfig: There are a lot of fighters around Igfig: Okay, so here you are on the threshold of this building Igfig: hearing soft wing-noises, and little else Barvo murder stuff. RobotDave: DAVE THINKS WE SHOULD GO IN Igfig: seeing mostly darkness, and something sprawled on the floor Igfig: okay Cynthia: Wait guys Lakanu: Check out the thing sprawled on the floor? Cynthia: Cream corn can go scout ahead RobotDave nudges heap on floor RobotDave: with foot Cynthia: if we hear the sound of dog flesh being ripped apart, we know to be careful Barvo: Doggie do whatever. Alek_Deckard kneels down by the heap. Cynthia: Okay Barvo punches heap Cynthia: I tell cream corn to go sniff around the hallway in front of us Cynthia: "Be careful dearie" Igfig: The heap appears to be a dead bat Cynthia: So cream corn travels up the hallway Lakanu: Is it a wolf or a dog? Igfig: a huge dead bat Cynthia: a wolf Igfig: with a long, whiplike tail Lakanu: Be funnier if it was a pug or something RobotDave lifts the tail. Jacques: "That's... Unusual" Lakanu: Someone do a nature check Lakanu: 1d20+5 Fortuna: Lakanu, 1d20+5: [4] = 9 Cynthia: 1d20+9 Fortuna: Cynthia, 1d20+9: [1] = 10 Cynthia: FUCK Lakanu: Fortuna, don't start this shit again RobotDave: 1d20 Fortuna: RobotDave, 1d20: [5] = 5 Cynthia: oh god we are doomed Jacques: 1d10+3 Fortuna: Jacques, 1d10+3: [5] = 8 RobotDave: Well, I tried. Igfig: This is not a kind of bat you have seen before Alek_Deckard: 1d20+2 Fortuna: Alek_Deckard, 1d20+2: [13] = 15 Jacques: "It's a bat!" Barvo: BAAATTTTT!!! Cynthia: BATMAN?! Barvo punches heap Lakanu: Cynthia has no idea what a bat is RobotDave: Can I sniff the tail? Can DAVE smell? Barvo: No Jacques: Dave doesn't breathe, so no Alek_Deckard: "What a strange creautre." Igfig: Cream Corn catches sight of something flapping and scrabbling against a pair of ornate double doors RobotDave: Oh. Poor thing. Cynthia: How far ahead? Cynthia: I see Lakanu: Hey Dave, we should get together sometime and not eat, breathe or sleep Igfig: but as soon as he comes close, it turns and wings away through the darkness Barvo shakes fist! Cynthia: I tell cream corn to come back, to be on the safe side RobotDave: DAVE THINKS THAT WILL BE A MOST PRODUCTIVE TIME, LAKANU Igfig: If you guys are up by the heap of dead bat, you should put your markers there Cynthia: "Let's start moving in deeper, but be careful, we don't want to be jumped by mutant bats: Cynthia: " Jacques: I swagger bravely into the darkness Alek_Deckard: And probably add mine in, haven't done that yet. Cynthia: Is the door to the left locked? RobotDave: (one monment, dad just came home) RobotDave: *moment Igfig: The bat appears to have been battered and slashed to death, so probably by Black Dynamite and that hobo, but you don't see any other sign of those two. Igfig: Which door? The ornate double doors? Cynthia: ye Cynthia: s Lakanu: I wish Thorn were here, he'd eat that bat Cynthia: I'm sure he would Alek_Deckard: Alas, no gnolls about. Igfig: They do appear to be locked, yes. Or at least, you push and pull on them and they don't seem to budge Cynthia: I try to pick the lock Lakanu: Maybe they slide Cynthia: 1d20+4 Fortuna: Cynthia, 1d20+4: [1] = 5 Cynthia: oh no Cynthia: I hate... fortuna... so... much. Fortuna: Mm-hmm. Barvo: You break the lock Igfig: first of all, what lock? you don't see any Cynthia: Oh Lakanu: That explains the 1 Igfig: second of all, one door is sort of greyish in hue, the other sort of reddish Cynthia: yeah your right Barvo: new hand please Fortuna: Barvo drew a new hand. Fortuna: Barvo drew CRAFTY STRIKE (U) Fortuna: Play when your at-will or encounter attack power hits an enemy granting you combat advantage. You gain a +4 bonus to the power's damage roll against the enemy. Fortuna: Barvo drew SELF SACRIFICE (U) Fortuna: Play when an ally adjacent to you is hit by a melee or ranged attack. That attack hits you instead. Fortuna: Barvo drew ENDURING FOCUS (C) Fortuna: Play at the start of your turn. Until the start of your next turn, allies within 2 squares of you gain a +2 bonus to saving throws. RobotDave: (back) Cynthia: neat Igfig: and third of all, Alex and Barvo make Perception checks please Barvo: 1d20+1 Fortuna: Barvo, 1d20+1: [15] = 16 Alek_Deckard: 1d20+7 Fortuna: Alek_Deckard, 1d20+7: [8] = 15 Igfig: *Alek Igfig: 1d20+10 Fortuna: Igfig, 1d20+10: [10] = 20 Alek_Deckard: And in case I need to say it a third time, I have darkvision. Igfig: Gotcha Cynthia: "Barvo dear, can you try and ram this door down for me?" Alek_Deckard: Kay, I'll shut up about that now. Cynthia: I batter my eyelashes at him RobotDave: Batter? Lakanu: Flutter Cynthia: yeah sorry Cynthia: I don't know what I was thinking Barvo: Barvo prefer batter Lakanu: Just headbutting him RobotDave: http://www.filtsai.com/cooking/crepes/smooth_batter.jpg Barvo: Barvo wanders toward doors Lakanu: The barbarian way Igfig: As a matter of fact, with your darkvision you see something out of the corner of your eye, swooping down the passage from your right Igfig: Barvo is not so lucky Barvo: Barvo is often oblivious Alek_Deckard: Yeah, swooping is bad. Igfig: you don't get a chance to wander toward the doors, barvo Igfig: Everybody roll init! Cynthia: SHIT Alek_Deckard: 1d20+5 Fortuna: Alek_Deckard, 1d20+5: [15] = 20 Barvo: 1d20+1 Fortuna: Barvo, 1d20+1: [2] = 3 Cynthia: 1d20+7 Fortuna: Cynthia, 1d20+7: [12] = 19 RobotDave: 1d20+4 Fortuna: RobotDave, 1d20+4: [20] = 24 Cynthia: neato Jacques: 1d20+1 Fortuna: Jacques, 1d20+1: [3] = 4 Lakanu: 1d20+3 Fortuna: Lakanu, 1d20+3: [20] = 23 Barvo: bbbbbbbbbaaaaaaaaaaalllllllllllllllllsssssssssssss Lakanu: Ha! Alek_Deckard: Wow, we're all clumped at the beginning and the ending side. RobotDave: There is no middle ground with Fortuna. Lakanu: Fortuna, all is forgiven Cynthia: Not on my watch RobotDave: So we're fighting swooping thing? Igfig: 2#1d20+9 Fortuna: Igfig, 1d20+9: [19] = 28; 1d20+9: [11] = 20 Barvo: fuuuuckkkk Cynthia: oh my god damn Alek_Deckard: Darn, guess I'm on the back end along with Cynthia and the low roll people. Barvo: I suppose they *are* attacking us. Alek_Deckard: It's the swooping. Cynthia: do they get a surprise turn? Barvo: no Igfig: Yeah, this is the surprise round Igfig: Two of them were far away enough that they just approach Barvo: *pout* Cynthia: okay Igfig: two manage to attack Cynthia: I'm sorry barvo Igfig: Barvo and Alek Barvo: I am going to die. Barvo: *again* Igfig: 2#1d20+8+2 vs. AC Fortuna: Igfig, vs. AC: [3] = 13; vs. AC: [15] = 25 Barvo: miss Jacques: You're a giant man barbarian, you'll be fine Barvo: holy crap Alek_Deckard: I'm guessing the 25 is me, and that's a hit. Igfig: Indeed Igfig: 1d6+4+6 damage Fortuna: Igfig, damage: [2] = 12 Alek_Deckard: OUch. Barvo: Barvo's defenses are awful Barvo: he just has rather high HP Barvo: and a large axe. Igfig: They bats swoop past, slashing at you with their tails Cynthia: and a large penis Barvo: likely Cynthia: so large it drips just out of his loincloth Cynthia: Does he weaer a loincloth? Igfig: in the darkness, you can barely see the tails to defend against them Igfig: cynthia, be quiet Igfig: Alek, your turn Igfig: Surprise round, so just the one action Alek_Deckard: Kay. Alek_Deckard: Whispering a quick prayer to Pelor, Alek uses Dark Beckoning on B1. Alek_Deckard: 1d20+7 Fortuna: Alek_Deckard, 1d20+7: [9] = 16 Alek_Deckard: vs... Alek_Deckard: Will. Igfig: THat's a hit Alek_Deckard: 1d6+6 Fortuna: Alek_Deckard, 1d6+6: [5] = 11 Alek_Deckard: And I pull him 3 squares closer. Alek_Deckard: So he's in the same region as me now. Igfig: All right Igfig: Suprise round is over, then Igfig: Top of the order! Igfig: Bats. Barvo: aww, I was hoping to get in on it :( Igfig: Fraid you were surprised Barvo: 's true Lakanu: Barvo the Startled Igfig: I guess Alek is the most obvious target for both of these bats Barvo: Barvo the easily startled Igfig: 2#1d20+8+2 vs. AC Fortuna: Igfig, vs. AC: [12] = 22; vs. AC: [12] = 22 Alek_Deckard: Ouch, another pair of hits. Igfig: ugh Igfig: 2#1d6+4+6 Fortuna: Igfig, 1d6+4+6: [2] = 12; 1d6+4+6: [2] = 12 Alek_Deckard: I don't suppose they do necrotic damage. RobotDave: Fortuna, why do you like the bats so much? What did we do to you? What did they do for you? Cynthia: those bats are having... good fortune Igfig: they do not, no Alek_Deckard: Yeah I'm down, do I still keep my regeneration if I'm unconscious? It turns on when I'm bloodied. Igfig: Regeneration doesn't function when you're at 0 or less, so no Igfig: Anyway, it is Dave's turn RobotDave: How far can I move? There's no bats in my region Igfig: You can move a number of regions equal to half your speed RobotDave: 2.5? Barvo: yp Igfig: Round down. RobotDave: I'll move , but I don't think I can do anything else. Jacques: you can do Total Defense Barvo: (you could try to heal alek) Igfig: You could charge Igfig: charging is a standard action that lets you move your speed and make a basic attack Barvo: that too RobotDave: I don't have any healing things, I don't think. RobotDave: Sure, I'll charge. RobotDave: How exactly ... ? Cynthia: I'll heal alek Igfig: Just move yourself on the board, then make an attack Igfig: with a +1 bonus Barvo: up to 5 regions Igfig: yeah RobotDave: 1d20+1, attacking Bats 4 Barvo: its more than +1 Igfig: Pretty sure your basic attack is better than +1 RobotDave: Woops RobotDave: 1d20+8 Fortuna: RobotDave, 1d20+8: [8] = 16 Jacques: 17 with the charge bonus RobotDave: Oh, the charge was on top of that? All right. Sorry, was confused. Igfig: 17 is just enough. RobotDave: Awesome. Barvo: wooo RobotDave: 3d10+4 Brute Strike Fortuna: RobotDave, Brute Strike: [8, 3, 5] = 20 Igfig: wait... RobotDave: ? Igfig: two things Igfig: first of all, you have to make a basic attack Jacques: or Bull Charge Igfig: which is just 1[W]+modifiers Igfig: you can't use most at-wills, and definitely not dailies RobotDave: [W]? Alek_Deckard: Weapon damage. Igfig: the damage die of your weapon Jacques: Bull Charge is a power she has that you can use on a charge Igfig: 1d10 in this case Fortuna: Igfig, in this case: [3] = 3 Igfig: second, that bat is actually in darkness RobotDave: Ah. RobotDave: So I'm striking blindly? RobotDave: Or is that an automatic miss? Alek_Deckard: Who was holding the torch again? Jacques: Cynthia Alek_Deckard: Oh, darn. Igfig: The torch should actually have a slightly larger range, I just realized Igfig: two regions, not one Igfig: but that's still not enough Cynthia: yeah I am Igfig: so yes, you're striking blindly Igfig: with a -5 penalty Cynthia: ouch Igfig: so I'm afraid that's actually a miss after all RobotDave: Oh well. Igfig: on the other hand, just attacking a creature, even if you miss, Igfig: is enough to mark that creature, if you're a fighter RobotDave: Okay. Igfig: it takes a -2 to attack creatures other than you, and if it shifts or attacks someone else you can make a melee basic attack against it Igfig: anyway, it's Lakanu's turn RobotDave: (sorry for tying things up, guys.) Lakanu: Because my spear has a range of 2, can I attack something in the next region? Igfig: Certainly Lakanu: Coolio Cynthia: happens all the time Igfig: That bat is also in darkness, though Lakanu: Swear Oath of Enmity on Bat...3 Igfig: so still a -5 Igfig: aight Barvo: (do the oath) Lakanu: and use Bond of Retribution! Lakanu: 2#1d20+3 Fortuna: Lakanu, 1d20+3: [11] = 14; 1d20+3: [7] = 10 Lakanu: Urgh RobotDave: (I will be back in about 10-15 minutes, eating dinner. Anyone can take over the character in the meantime.) Lakanu: Disgusting Lakanu: Goddamn bats Igfig: Yeah, sorry Lakanu Igfig: the darkness, it is powerful Igfig: Bats 3 and 4, now Igfig: Bat 3 goes for Lakanu Lakanu: Course it does Igfig: 1d20+8 vs. AC; 1d6+4 Fortuna: Igfig, vs. AC: [18] = 26; 1d6+4: [2] = 6 Lakanu: yes, and yes Igfig: since it's in bright light, its attack is less effective Lakanu: Everyone, get the hell out of the dark Igfig: then it wheels and flaps through an archway Igfig: bat 4 on Dave Igfig: 1d20+8+2; 1d6+4+6 Igfig: Fortuna? Cynthia: -1d20+6 Cynthia: oops Barvo: 1d20 Fortuna: Barvo, 1d20: [13] = 13 Cynthia: 1d20 Fortuna: Cynthia, 1d20: [7] = 7 Cynthia: huh Igfig: 1d20+8+2 vs. AC; 1d6+4+6 damage Fortuna: Igfig, vs. AC: [5] = 15; damage: [5] = 15 Igfig: there Cynthia: igfig, fortuna has decided to rise up against you Barvo: was probably the semicolon Igfig: 1d20; 1d6 Igfig: guess so Barvo: see Igfig: that's a bug to fix Cynthia: dongs Igfig: the bat batters ineffectually at Dave with its wings Igfig: Alek! Barvo: death save! Alek_Deckard: 1d20 Fortuna: Alek_Deckard, 1d20: [7] = 7 Alek_Deckard: Darn, you'd think being undead would make me better at those. Igfig: uh oh Igfig: welp, Cynthia now Cynthia: hmmm Cynthia: I move downj to alek Cynthia: and use healing word on him Cynthia: spend a healing surge Cynthia: 1d6 Fortuna: Cynthia, 1d6: [5] = 5 Alek_Deckard: You can use that from a region away. Igfig: you can do that at range, actually Igfig: two regions Cynthia: and gain 5 extra hp Cynthia: oh Cynthia: okay Cynthia: then I do that Alek_Deckard: Might be better light wise. Barvo: still needs to move a bit. Jacques: down one region, I think Cynthia: um, I can't move the C Lakanu: move te light, then move the c Cynthia: I still can't Jacques: it's down now? Cynthia: there we go Cynthia: anyways jacques, do you mind if I call you jack? Anyways jack, spend a healing surge +5 extra hp Barvo: (Alek) Cynthia: oh my, how did I get that wrong Alek_Deckard: (Si?) Jacques: that's how Jacques is pronounced Cynthia: Alek do that Cynthia: not jack Alek_Deckard: (Oh) Alek_Deckard: Right, already did that. Cynthia: Igfig can I tell cream corn to give cover to jacques? Igfig: sure Cynthia: okay, then igfig moves over and covers jack Igfig: you should mark Cream Corn's location Igfig: no I don't Barvo: You suck so much. Cynthia: okay and end turn Igfig: Right. Jacques! Jacques: okay Jacques: since I've got cover, and Cynthia will presumably be back with the light, I'll just ready my Greenflame Blade for when a bat swoops by Igfig: Righto Igfig: Barvo! Barvo: Okay Barvo: Can I put a sunrod between my teeth? Igfig: sure Jacques: Can I curse an enemy that I can't see? Barvo: Kay I do that Barvo: Combat Sprint Barvo: I move my speed +4 Barvo: hi there b1 Barvo: uhh' Igfig: I think you can, jacques Barvo: avalance strike Jacques: Ok, I'll curse b4 then Barvo: 1d20+8 Fortuna: Barvo, 1d20+8: [12] = 20 Barvo: vs AC Igfig: oh wait, no you can't jacques Igfig: sorry Jacques: or I won't Igfig: looked it up Jacques: 'salright Barvo: 3d12+7 Fortuna: Barvo, 3d12+7: [2, 1, 6] = 16 Igfig: and barvo, with the darkness Igfig: that's a miss Barvo: I have a sunrod in my mouth Barvo: I have light Igfig: ohhh Barvo: teehee Igfig: right, you said it and then I instantly forgot Barvo: hahahaha Jacques: Does my head count as a sunrod? Jacques: or a torch Igfig: no, but that's an interesting point Igfig: maybe a candle? Jacques: one region of light? Barvo: Anyway. That's my turn. Igfig: low light in your region Jacques: Yay Cynthia: I don't think bravo is very bright Barvo: Barvo no need smarts Barvo: Barvo has axe Igfig: Barvo, you have bloodied b1 Cynthia: No I meant for the candle thing Barvo: BWAHAHAHA Cynthia: but uh... yeah Cynthia: not very smart either Igfig: and now for bats 1 and 2 Igfig: B1 on Barvo, B2 on... Lakanu, I guess Igfig: 1d20+8; 1d20+8+2 Barvo: semicolon Igfig: 1d20+8 ; 1d20+8+2 Fortuna: Igfig, 1d20+8: [18] = 26; 1d20+8+2: [14] = 24 Barvo: fark Barvo: hit Lakanu: ... Igfig: 1d6+4; 1d6+4+6 Igfig: sorry Barvo: ... Igfig: 1d6+4 ; 1d6+4+6 Fortuna: Igfig, 1d6+4: [4] = 8; 1d6+4+6: [2] = 12 Alek_Deckard: They sure like that 12 damage. Igfig: B2 flies right past you, Jacques Jacques: Opportunity Attack! Jacques: 1d20+10 Fortuna: Jacques, 1d20+10: [12] = 22 Igfig: B1 cannot fly out the door because you are blocking the way, Barvo Barvo: murfff Jacques: 1d8+5 Fortuna: Jacques, 1d8+5: [7] = 12 Jacques: See how that bat likes a taste of it's own 12 damage Igfig: That's not actually an opportunity attack, Jacques, because these bats don't provoke OAs after their attacks Jacques: oh RobotDave: (back) Jacques: readied attack Jacques: whatever Igfig: but it's your readied attack, so yeah Jacques: 12 fire damage Igfig: Good timing, Dave Igfig: it's your turn RobotDave: Ok RobotDave: One moment RobotDave: Just looking at the map RobotDave: I move to B2 Igfig: kay Igfig: this is low light, so just -2 RobotDave: 1d20+8 oh please hit Fortuna: RobotDave, oh please hit: [13] = 21 RobotDave: So 19? Igfig: That is a hit! Igfig: Roll damage RobotDave: 2d10+4 Steel Serpend Strike Fortuna: RobotDave, Steel Serpend Strike: [10, 10] = 24 Igfig: whoa Barvo: oh snap Jacques: basically a crit Igfig: You slash B2 right across the wing, and it tumbles to the floor Igfig: very wounded, and slowed RobotDave: DAVE IS HAPPY WITH THE RESULTS RobotDave: I think I'm good for now, end turn Igfig: Lakanu turn! Jacques: another light question Lakanu: I scurry back in into the light RobotDave: (did I take any damage while I was gone, by the way?) Igfig: A little, yeah Jacques: since my head is a candle, if I go into an area that is already low-light, does the light stack? Jacques: as in, does that make it normal light? RobotDave: (how much?) Lakanu: and ready a bond of retribution for anything that comes past Igfig: wait, actually it only dealt damage if your AC is 15 or less Lakanu: That is basically it Igfig: which I doubt Jacques: yeah, that misses RobotDave: 19 Igfig: Jacques, no it does not Jacques: ok Igfig: and Lakanu, okay, cool Igfig: Bats 3 and 4, then Igfig: 3 goes for Jacques Cynthia: CC gives him cover Igfig: 1d20+8+2-2 ; 1d6+4+6 Fortuna: Igfig, 1d20+8+2-2: [1] = 9; 1d6+4+6: [6] = 16 Igfig: missss Jacques: whew Lakanu: And with my spear, I can attack! Alek_Deckard: Cream Corn is really good at giving cover. Lakanu: -2 for low light? Igfig: Yup Igfig: Also, that's clever, Lak Lakanu: 2#1d20+6 Fortuna: Lakanu, 1d20+6: [5] = 11; 1d20+6: [19] = 25 Lakanu: 1d10+5 Fortuna: Lakanu, 1d10+5: [4] = 9 Igfig: an opportunity attack is only in your own region, but this is wherever Igfig: and yeah, definitely hit Lakanu: Only 9, lame Igfig: Plus the Bond of Retribution thing Barvo: (don't forget dave hit b2 for 24) Cynthia: what does that do? Alek_Deckard: That only counts for times people other then the oath of enmity guy hit him. Igfig: I did remember that, yes Igfig: and b4 goes fro Dave Lakanu: Hit or miss me Alek_Deckard: Oh, guess I should have read that better then. I made the same type of avenger like 2 days ago. Igfig: (it was b1, barvo) Barvo: (I hit b1) Barvo: (dave hit b2) Igfig: oh I am so cnfused Jacques: (what Barvo said) Igfig: aaa Igfig: okay Igfig: there Barvo: all better now Igfig: feel free to mark the damage down yourselves, by the way Barvo: yesh RobotDave: Cool Igfig: that's what the chat's for Cynthia: urgh, my stomach is exploding Cynthia: brb Igfig: all right, so b4 attacking Igfig: 1d20+8+2 vs. AC; 1d6+4+6 damage Fortuna: Igfig, vs. AC: [6] = 16; damage: [5] = 15 Igfig: on dave RobotDave: My AC is 19. RobotDave: HAHA. Igfig: yup, another miss Igfig: Alek turn! Alek_Deckard: Yay! Alek_Deckard: Regeneration happens at the start of the turn I'm guessing. Alek_Deckard: And I stand up. Igfig: Yes it does. Igfig: aight Alek_Deckard: And... Igfig: vampire powers? Alek_Deckard: I'll just ready my Taste of Life attack, can't hit anything from here and can't move without using my standard. Igfig: kay Barvo: (charge?) Alek_Deckard: I could do that. Igfig: if there's anything in range Barvo: nah its to far Alek_Deckard: I don't think I'm close enough actually. Alek_Deckard: So just going to ready Taste of Life for the next bat that gets in reach. Igfig: okay Alek_Deckard: I'm close enough that Cynthia could position herself to give most of us light anyways. Cynthia: huzzahwha? Cynthia: Also my stomach stopped exploding Igfig: heheh Igfig: It's your turn, Cynthia Cynthia: okay Cynthia: I'll move up to where jack and cream corn are Cynthia: so the light is all up in here Cynthia: And I'll prepare tending strike if any bats come swooping in Cynthia: also cream corn will switch his cover to me Jacques: jerk Cynthia: end turn Igfig: Well, Jacques then Jacques: I'll move up to finish off B2 Cynthia: Sorry, but I am a druid, l have less health then you Jacques: 1d20+10 Fortuna: Jacques, 1d20+10: [20] = 30 Alek_Deckard: Sweet. Barvo: murffff Jacques: 13 fire damage RobotDave: Fortuna likes us again. Igfig: Well, you kill the bat Igfig: more accurately, you overkill it Jacques: YEAH Cynthia: it explodes Jacques: and for my minor Jacques: I'll mark B4 with my Aegis of Shielding Jacques: end turn Barvo: Me Barvo: Devastating Strike Barvo: 1d20+8 Fortuna: Barvo, 1d20+8: [5] = 13 Barvo: balls Barvo: Action point Barvo: Do it again Barvo: 1d20+8 Fortuna: Barvo, 1d20+8: [18] = 26 Jacques: there you go Barvo: 1d12+1d8+7 Fortuna: Barvo, 1d12+1d8+7: [5, 6] = 18 Igfig: Barvo, are you a human? Barvo: Goliath Alek_Deckard: Goliath. Igfig: ah Igfig: kay Barvo: Splat? Igfig: B1 is, yes, splatted. Barvo: yay Barvo: movement Barvo: done Barvo: also I get 8 temp hitpoints Igfig: great Barvo: Next Igfig: Bats 1 and 2 are dead, so go Dave RobotDave: Woohoo RobotDave: Charge, was it called? RobotDave: Charge B4 Igfig: yep Igfig: aright RobotDave: 1d20+8 Fortuna: RobotDave, 1d20+8: [11] = 19 Jacques: I have to go let the dogs out and feed them, if B4 hit someone subtract 8 from the damage Igfig: That's a hit RobotDave: Oh wait RobotDave: The bat is in the dark, so that'd be -5, was it? Igfig: oooh yeah, good point Igfig: thanks for noticing RobotDave: Nvm, missed. RobotDave: No problem RobotDave: Can I move again after charging? If not, then I guess I've got to end turn. Igfig: You can't move after charging, especially because you already used your move action before you charged Alek_Deckard: This place is huge. RobotDave: All right. End turn then. Igfig: also, are you marking the bat or not? Note that marking it will supersede Jacques' mark Igfig: robotdave RobotDave: Um, Jacques, do you mind? Barvo: jack is out Barvo: but he would mind I think Barvo: so don't RobotDave: Oh, then no. I won't. Igfig: aright Igfig: that was the correct tactical decision RobotDave: Oh, if it attacks me, then it automatically gets attacked by Jacques instead? RobotDave: Cool. Igfig: sort of Barvo: also it gets -8 on damage Igfig: in this case it just deals a lot less damage Igfig: the -8 RobotDave: That's good. All right, don't let me hold everyone else up. Igfig: each defender punished marked creatures differently Igfig: and it's Lakanu's turn! Igfig: Lakanu Lakanu: ooh Lakanu: Move up, ready a Halo of Fire Lakanu: That is all Jacques: I'm back Igfig: bats time! Igfig: B3 goes for Lakanu Lakanu: or does it! Lakanu: 2#1d20+8 Fortuna: Lakanu, 1d20+8: [17] = 25; 1d20+8: [12] = 20 Lakanu: 2d10+5 Fortuna: Lakanu, 2d10+5: [2, 10] = 17 Igfig: ouch RobotDave: Fortuna, WHY? Igfig: it does not, in fact, go for you Igfig: it instead goes for the wall Igfig: headfirst RobotDave: Oh, that's good. Igfig: although it's already charred dead when it impacts Igfig: B4 attacks Dave Barvo: crispy [ieces hit the floor Igfig: 1d20+8+2-2 vs AC Fortuna: Igfig, vs AC: [17] = 25 Igfig: 1d6+4+6-8 Fortuna: Igfig, 1d6+4+6-8: [3] = 5 RobotDave: So five damage? Igfig: Yep RobotDave: That's not too bad. Yay! Igfig: and it flies off into this room here Igfig: At the center of the room, Dave, you can see what looks like... a low well of sorts, maybe? RobotDave: 1d20 perception on the well-like thing Fortuna: RobotDave, perception on the well-like thing: [10] = 10 Igfig: There seems to be a glimmer of light emanating form its depths Igfig: *from Igfig: sort of a pale blue RobotDave: DAVE CAN SEE PRETTY BLUE LIGHT IN WELL. RobotDave: MAYBE IT IS THE POWER BUTTON Alek_Deckard: My turn then? I should have moved last turn, eh. Igfig: Your turn, yeah Alek_Deckard: Kay, going to double move. Alek_Deckard: And run, can I run on both double moves? Barvo: I hope so Igfig: You can, yeah Alek_Deckard: So that'd be, double my speed twice? Igfig: nooo Barvo: run is +2 Alek_Deckard: Okay, yeah that'd be crazy. Igfig: running is just your speed + 2 Alek_Deckard: Alright. Alek_Deckard: So double moving gets me 8 then, yar. Alek_Deckard: REgions. Igfig: yeah Igfig: double running Alek_Deckard: And I'm going to activate one of my sun rods as well. Alek_Deckard: And I'm not bloodied anymore after this turn, so that's nice. Igfig: very well Igfig: Cynhia Alek_Deckard: How do I add the light from my sunrod onto the map? Igfig: The highlighter RobotDave: Yellow highlighter, I think. Igfig: *Cynthia Alek_Deckard: There, all good. RobotDave: Is Cynthia still here? Cynthia: huh? Jacques: probably no- oh ok Igfig: Cynthia is never all ther Igfig: e Cynthia: sorry I'm watching power rangers in malysdium's livestream Igfig: I mean, uh, hi Cynthia RobotDave: Ah. That's understandable Igfig: how are you Cynthia: okay back Cynthia: is it my turn? Igfig: yes Alek_Deckard: Si. Cynthia: alrihgty Cynthia: not much to do on this turn Cynthia: so I'll just move up here Cynthia: can I downgrade my standard to get another move? Jacques: yes Cynthia: okay Jacques: yes you can Cynthia: okay end turn handofevil joined #pwot_dnd. Igfig: Hiya, Drey! handofevil: Hello Barvo: A bit late there. Igfig: Also, Dave's turn Jacques: urgh Barvo: what Igfig: wait Jacques: Jacques Barvo: jacques turn black_dynamite: I shall come in when able Igfig: why did I say that Igfig: jacques, dave Jacques: because they are both my characters Barvo: You must be tired and or have brain damage. Igfig: all these foreign names Igfig: easy to cinfuse Jacques: Dave is foreign? Barvo: It is latin Alek_Deckard: Have you ever met a Dave in real life? Jacques: Yes Barvo: I know several Alek_Deckard: Me too actually, usually was called DAvey though. Igfig: Dave is a Hebrew name, it's from way far away Jacques: I will move into the round room Igfig: right-o black_dynamite: Should I roll init or just come in when able Alek_Deckard: This fight is almost over. Barvo: encounter is nearly over black_dynamite: Oh well Barvo: but a surprise punching entrance would be cool. Igfig: the battle's all but finished now, and also there's a special thing you're doing that the others don't know about black_dynamite: Oh hell yes Barvo: probably throwing a boomerang. Barvo: anyway RobotDave: Why is his name Dave, anyway? Barvo: Is that all jaques? Alek_Deckard: Why not? Barvo: Jacques Jacques: Can I see B4 yet? RobotDave: I mostly thought that robot names would be acronyms. Or, like, numbers. Jacques: Dave is an acronym RobotDave: But a retconned acronym RobotDave: Anyway, not important. Jacques: Data Aquisition and something something Barvo: ooc guys Jacques: yeah RobotDave: Sorry. Carry on. Jacques: Ig, can I see the bat? Jacques: I'm guessing not since it's dark Igfig: yeah, we should eb spelling Dave DAVE Igfig: and yeah, you can't Jacques: ok, end turn Igfig: although there appears to be another well thing in the next room Barvo: Double run Barvo: end turn Barvo: DAVE RobotDave: DAVE IS HERE. Barvo: go RobotDave: Charge B4. Again RobotDave: 1d20+8-5 Fortuna: RobotDave, 1d20+8-5: [14] = 17 RobotDave: Oh whoa, cool. RobotDave: 1d10 Fortuna: RobotDave, 1d10: [3] = 3 RobotDave: Aw... only three damage Barvo: there should be a mod on that Jacques: +4 Barvo: 7 damage then RobotDave: Oh, sorry, okay. So 7 damage. Barvo: Discard Enduring focus Fortuna: Say please. RobotDave: Noted on the map chat RobotDave: End turn Barvo: Discard Enduring focus please Fortuna: Barvo discarded ENDURING FOCUS Fortuna: Barvo drew GAMBLERS DODGE (C) Fortuna: Play when you take damage. Roll a d20. On a roll of 10 or higher, you take half the normal damage. On a 9 or lower you take extra damage equal to your level. Barvo: call that part of my turn Igfig: oh yeah, it's so easy to forget the cards Barvo: yeah Barvo: I always think about them too late Igfig: welp, Lakanu Lakanu: Double move! Lakanu: And nothing else Barvo: (discard a card) Lakanu: Which one? Barvo: the one we just drew Lakanu: I could mulligan the whole thing Cynthia: what cards do we have? Igfig: Is B4 still marked? Barvo: I like some of them Barvo: you have to pm fortuna for the hand Igfig: B4 tailslashes DAVE Lakanu: Discard Gamblers Dodge okease Fortuna: Say please. Lakanu: Discard gamblers dodge please Fortuna: Lakanu discarded GAMBLERS DODGE Fortuna: Lakanu drew GAMBLERS DODGE (C) Fortuna: Play when you take damage. Roll a d20. On a roll of 10 or higher, you take half the normal damage. On a 9 or lower you take extra damage equal to your level. Igfig: 1d20+8+2-2 vs AC; 1d6+4+6-8 damage Fortuna: Igfig, vs AC: [13] = 21; damage: [5] = 7 Alek_Deckard: Wow. Lakanu: Wow Barvo: god dammit Igfig: hahahaha Lakanu: That is... Jacques: it doesn't get the -8 anymoe Jacques: anymore* Igfig: oh? Jacques: I'm a hybrid class, so that's an encounter instead of an at-will Igfig: no, it's the mark itself that's encounter Igfig: you can still use the punishment as much as you like Jacques: oh Igfig: although I think you need to see the target, so actually it doesn't work Jacques: ok, -8 that shit then Igfig: so 15 damage Jacques: or not Barvo: this bat is kiting us Igfig: DOUBLE WAIT Barvo: son of a Igfig: actually, oddly enough you don't need to see the target to sheild them Lakanu: Ig's new catchphrase Igfig: which is very strange Igfig: but yeah, I guess there is the -8 after all Igfig: so 7 damage total Jacques: *headsplosion* Igfig: Alek Alek_Deckard: Kay, so I really want to hit that bat. Alek_Deckard: If I run I think I can charge it, so I'm gonna do that. Igfig: you can... that's a total of -10 to attack though Alek_Deckard: -10 to attack why? Jacques: running gives a penalty Igfig: 5 for darkness--oh, heheh Jacques: but you have darkvision Alek_Deckard: I have darkvision, and I'm also holding a sunrod at the moment. Igfig: but yeah, there's still -5 for running Alek_Deckard: So it'd be -4 thanks to the charge. Igfig: true Alek_Deckard: And if I charge I'd have to use a vs. reflex power which probably won't work so well on a bat. Igfig: okay, go charge-bite that bat mofo Igfig: oh Alek_Deckard: Ah well. Alek_Deckard: Might as well go for it anyways. Barvo: you could just basic melee Alek_Deckard: Vampire Slam Alek_Deckard: 1d20+2 Fortuna: Alek_Deckard, 1d20+2: [6] = 8 Alek_Deckard: Yeah. Alek_Deckard: Action Point, cause I really want that healing surge. Igfig: okay Alek_Deckard: Will this attack still have the -5? Igfig: yeah, the penalty is until the start of your next turn Alek_Deckard: Kay. Alek_Deckard: And now no charge either, blargh. Alek_Deckard: 1d20+1 vs. Fort Taste of Life Fortuna: Alek_Deckard, vs. Fort Taste of Life: [17] = 18 Igfig: oh wow Igfig: yeah, that's a hit all right Alek_Deckard: Huzzah! Alek_Deckard: Also going to add my Blood Drinker to that. Jacques: also just for map purposes, how much does your sunrod light up? Alek_Deckard: 1d8+1d10+7 Fortuna: Alek_Deckard, 1d8+1d10+7: [2, 8] = 17 Igfig: let's say everything is 5 squares, i.e. 2 regions Igfig: b4 is bloodied, but not dead Alek_Deckard: And I get a healing surge from blood drinker, and 5 temporary hit points from taste of life. Igfig: Sure do. Alek_Deckard: And that is most definitely the end of my turn. Igfig: Cynthia Igfig: cynthia delays Igfig: Jacques Jacques: okay Cynthia: fuk Cynthia: wait Cynthia: WAAIIIITTT Barvo: too bad Igfig: ok, go Jacques: gonna charge that bat Jacques: oh Barvo: pfff Cynthia: give me longer then 5 seconds next time please Igfig: in hwatever order Jacques: IMMA CHARGE THAT BAT Jacques: 1d20+11 Fortuna: Jacques, 1d20+11: [6] = 17 Igfig: do so then Igfig: that's a hit Alek_Deckard: ON another note: Hey Igfig, can we see into that third room from here? Jacques: 1d8+6 Fortuna: Jacques, 1d8+6: [1] = 7 Jacques: wop Igfig: looks like it's much the same Alek_Deckard: Use a card. Alek_Deckard: Oh wait nevermind. Alek_Deckard: That's combat advantage only. Igfig: Cynthia, are you still here then? Jacques: also I forgot about my sword's magic, when I hit something at full health I do extra damage. But that time is long past Jacques: Action point, I'll smack the bat again Cynthia: yes Cynthia: I used my turn to just move a bit Jacques: 1d20+10 Fortuna: Jacques, 1d20+10: [6] = 16 Jacques: 1d8+6 Fortuna: Jacques, 1d8+6: [5] = 11 Igfig: sorry jacques, 16 is a miss Jacques: ok Igfig: brb dfoor Jacques: oh wait Jacques: no, double wait, it wasn't cursed Jacques: gah, I could have added 1d6 to that first attack Barvo: 1d20+4 Fortuna: Barvo, 1d20+4: [15] = 19 Barvo: Hey I hit Barvo: 1d12+7 Fortuna: Barvo, 1d12+7: [9] = 16 Barvo: I think I killed it. RobotDave: DAVE HOPES SO Barvo: it was a run-charge Jacques: yeah, probably Jacques: your to-hit is only +4? Igfig: back Barvo: I got -5 from running Jacques: oh, right Igfig: my dad came by to pick up my brother to go to Cornell for the weekend to buy a house Barvo: I think I killed the bat Lakanu: I thought you said horse for a second there Igfig: yeah, you did Barvo: yay RobotDave: HOORAY. BAT IS DEAD. DAVE IS SATISFIED. Igfig: the bat is dead Barvo: BARVO TRIUMPH!! Jacques twirls his rapier in triumph RobotDave does the robot to an imaginary tune. Barvo raises axe above head like a tuskan raider Barvo: "Urhh urhh ruhhh!!!" Jacques: Alright, let's figure out what these wells do Lakanu clutches a handful of roasted bat, if anyone's hungry black_dynamite punches something Lakanu: I don't really understand food RobotDave: DAVE SAW PALE BLUE LIGHT IN THIS WELL. WOULD ANYONE CARE TO TAKE A LOOK? Barvo: I have to go to bed. I have work early tomorrow morning. RobotDave: Good night, Barvo. Igfig: kay, night Moose Cynthia: I have other such shenanigans to do tomorrow Igfig: wait, moose Cynthia: so I need to go too Cynthia: night Igfig: ? Barvo: Fuck you igfig. RobotDave: ?? Cynthia quit. Igfig: Hero is... oh god RobotDave: Heronius. Alek_Deckard: ? Igfig: I cant' remember anyone's real names any more RobotDave: Oh Ig. Barvo: You will pay for that. Alek_Deckard: Dun dun dun. Igfig: Hero is... oh right, Frozenpie! Barvo: Correct. Barvo: Anyway. Barvo: Night. Igfig: Night pie! RobotDave: Good night! Alek_Deckard: Can I borrow a healing surge before you leave? Barvo: sure Barvo: I have 9 now Alek_Deckard: Thanks, too ta loo. Barvo quit. Jacques: I am Moose Jacques: because I was Hyrr Alek_Deckard: I suppose my temporary hit points are gone. Jacques: but now I am Jacques black_dynamite: Black Dynamite is locked in a room pucnhing everything black_dynamite: EVERYTHING RobotDave: DAVID HEARS PUNCHING OF EVERYTHING. EVERYTHING. RobotDave: Shit, sorry, "DAVE" Lakanu: Hey, who's punching is that? Igfig: Black Dynamite, the room is a sort of wide hallway Igfig: with alcoves along the side black_dynamite: Ah black_dynamite: So I'm punching everything in there Igfig: all right Igfig: yeah, with the end of the battle you can hear punching noises from behind the double door Igfig: s Alek_Deckard: Side note: I put away my sun rod for now. black_dynamite: "YOU JIVE TURKEY FURNITURE ARE GONNA PAY FOR LOCKING ME IN HERE" RobotDave: "DAVE THINKS WE SHOULD LOOK INTO WELL FOR NOW. THE VOICE SOUNDS ANGRY." Lakanu: Don't put it away, we need the light Alek_Deckard: Barvo, just left, right. Jacques: "What was that? I sounded like a living stereotype" Alek_Deckard: I'm the only person carrying a light left, nevermind, I keep it out. Lakanu: Do the wells look arcane? divine? festive? black_dynamite: "I hear people! Who dares interrupt my Kung Fu?!" Igfig: Arcana check? Jacques: I'll check the Arcana Jacques: 1d20+13 Fortuna: Jacques, 1d20+13: [13] = 26 Igfig: They appear to be arcane in nature Lakanu: I was going to check, but I can't do better than 26 Igfig: although there's a component to it that you don't really understand black_dynamite: Ig, is that all I can see in the room? Jacques: I wonder aloud if there's some significance to the different colors of the wells Alek_Deckard: "Such a strange thing the arcane, a friend of mine went to apprentice under a wizard." Igfig: like, you can see that there's definitely some strong potential auras down there--this first one has the fire keyword--and you think you can trigger something with some magic of your own Alek_Deckard: "Last I heard he was doing well." Lakanu: Fire? Igfig: but what happens between those two parts, you have no idea Lakanu: ice, water? Jacques: Blue is the Fire one? Igfig: the mechanism of the between-part isn't magical at all, as far as you can tell Igfig: blue is the fire one, yeah Jacques: I shoot fire into the well Igfig: right Lakanu: Is this some sort of fifth element deal? RobotDave runs back to avoid any potential backlash Lakanu: Is the middle well Love? black_dynamite: Black Dynamite, still unaware of what's happening, punches everything Igfig: Black Dynamite, you see the ring of rocks or something at the west end of the hall you're in? black_dynamite: Yeah Igfig: You didn't really notice them before, because of the aforementioned punching black_dynamite: Black Dynamite stops punching black_dynamite: "What is this? Some form of Kung Fu Rock Treachery?!" Igfig: but now they suddenly ripple with pale blue sigils Igfig: a glow, and a hum Igfig: and then black_dynamite: "Who dares interrupt my Kung Fu!" Igfig: a fire starts to crawl out of the well Igfig: like, it's literally a fire, not an elemental Igfig: but it's moving like it's crawling--there's nothing for it to burn, and yet it does Igfig: 1d4 squares Fortuna: Igfig, squares: [1] = 1 black_dynamite: "This concerns Black Dynamite" black_dynamite: Can I punch it? RobotDave: WHAT IS THAT. Alek_Deckard: "Oh dear," states Alek backing away. Jacques: I think literal fire is insubstantial Alek_Deckard: Not that he was particularly close. Igfig: you aren't there, Black_Dynamite RobotDave: Wait, is the fire crawling out of the well we're around, or the rock circle that BD is next to? black_dynamite: Ah RobotDave: Nevermind, question answered. Igfig: the well Alek_Deckard: The blue well. black_dynamite: Can I punch the rocks? Igfig: sure black_dynamite: PUNCHING THE MYSTICAL GLOWING ROCKS Igfig: not much seems to happen black_dynamite: Oh well black_dynamite: Do I see anything in the center yet? Igfig: despite their ruined nature, they seem to be unnaturally solid Igfig: nope, nothing Lakanu: Are there any symbols on the other two wells? Jacques: I say to the fire, "Greetings fellow flame-thing! What's the haps?" Igfig: no symbols on any of the wells, just different-coloured light Igfig: 1d4 squares Fortuna: Igfig, squares: [3] = 3 Igfig: that blue is the fire, by the way Igfig: it's blue Lakanu: Does the fire hurt? Jacques: Arcana check to determine what the hell on RobotDave: (Can anyone do arcana checks on the other wells? I would, but DAVE has no modifier.) Jacques: 1d20+13 Fortuna: Jacques, 1d20+13: [13] = 26 Lakanu: I'm blue, we can be friends Igfig: are you going to touch it and find out, lak? Lakanu: Ok... RobotDave backs away. Lakanu: I run a hand through it Igfig: The green well is similar, but has a lightning aura Igfig: 1d8+4 fire damage, lakanu Fortuna: Igfig, fire damage, lakanu: [2] = 6 Lakanu: I run the fuck away black_dynamite: Black Dynamite yells out "Scram you jive turkey! I'm doin' Kung Fu!" Igfig: what are you yelling at, BD black_dynamite: The blue light black_dynamite: From the rocks Jacques: "Someone shoot the green one with lightning!" Igfig: okay black_dynamite: Black Dynamite has 10 intelligence. Don't judge him Lakanu: Does anyone have any lightning spells? Igfig: the circle's light doesn't appear to be animate in any way Jacques: So since we get penalized for movie references, shouldn't BD just explode from DM wrath any second now? Alek_Deckard: I think it is only certain movies. black_dynamite: Well BD is infact a movie reference himself Igfig: yeah, exactly Igfig: if that were a problem, he'd implode instantly Jacques: that's what I meant black_dynamite: I'm going to walk around that wall that's behind the rocks Alek_Deckard: Like Monty Python and the Holy Grail, would The Life of Brian or the Meaning of Life off limits as well? Igfig: like some kind of radioactive element with such a short half-life it can only be made in labs Igfig: monty python is generally off limits Alek_Deckard: Alright. Igfig: Dead Alewives are also frowned upon Alek_Deckard: Never heard of it so should be fine. Jacques: I'm sure they are, they cut off the intercom on the spaceship because I made a damn Orson Welles commercial reference RobotDave: Does no one have a lightning spell? black_dynamite: So, anyway. I walked around that wall behind the rocks and saw... Jacques: I'm all fire Alek_Deckard: "I'm afraid we lack the ability to further interact with these strange things, might I suggest exiting with haste before the fire spreads further?" Igfig: some sort of gnarly-ass cave Igfig: 1d4 squares Fortuna: Igfig, squares: [2] = 2 RobotDave: We could try generating a lot of static electricity Igfig: also, the last well appears to have a radiant aura Igfig: 1d4 squares for good measure Fortuna: Igfig, squares for good measure: [3] = 3 black_dynamite: EXPLORE THE CAVE AND PUNCH ANYTHING THAT GETS IN MY WAY Alek_Deckard: "Perhaps there are items within the ruin that would allow us to interact with them?" Lakanu: I run to the last well and do bond of retribution on it Lakanu: Bam, radiance Igfig: Lakanu, the fire is reaching out at you Igfig: 1d20+7 vs. Ref Fortuna: Igfig, vs. Ref: [11] = 18 Alek_Deckard: Wait, did you say radiance? Crap I definitely need to stay away from that well. Lakanu: yep, that hit Igfig: 1d8+4 fire damage Fortuna: Igfig, fire damage: [3] = 7 Lakanu: yuck Igfig: you get past though, it's just fire. Not solid. Lakanu: I'm made of crystal, this shouldn't hurt Igfig: Bond of Retribution, though Lakanu: It singes my hood and cape though Igfig: well, that does stuff Alek_Deckard: I'm going to move Alek out into the hallway for safety quick. RobotDave: Ig, how much shuffling across the floor would it take for DAVE to build up enough static electricity to activate the middle well? Igfig: you'll have to get around that fire, Alek Igfig: 1d4 squares Fortuna: Igfig, squares: [1] = 1 Alek_Deckard: I figure if I go around the far wall I should be oh bugger. black_dynamite: Also, Black Dynamite runs through the cave punching EVERYTHING Igfig: it hasn't quite filled the space, but soon it will Igfig: dave, a long time since the floor isn't carpeted Alek_Deckard: Also I sorta took the sun rod with me, sorry about that. Fire gives off light though so you should be fine. RobotDave: Could DAVE transfer any electricity from whatever his power supply is into the well? Igfig: BD, the ground around the stones lights up in a gleaming yellow-white ring Lakanu: So, no one has any lightning whatsoever? black_dynamite: Black dynamite stops running around punching the dave black_dynamite: cave* Jacques: I do not think so RobotDave: I'm a robot, I think I should have electricity Lakanu: I think you're more like a golem RobotDave: I don't know if I could somehow make any of that lightning and activate the - oh, really? Jacques: You're a warforged, you're powered by magic Igfig: Yeah, closer to a golem RobotDave: Damn. black_dynamite: Is there anything around me that I can throw into the center?
