Frozenpie: Hi Fortuna!
Fortuna: Good evening.
Slim_Bankshot: I have Laffy Taffy. Fuck yeah.
Lucas_Strongbow: Forgive my ignorance, but what is that doodle?
Frozenpie: Random face mask
Far-Walker: Woooooooooo party time!
Igfig: To recap:
handofevil joined #pwot_dnd.
Igfig: Last time, you finally figured out what you wanted to buy (more or less), fought some random dudes, DID NOT rob a bank, and then went to the forest and met your other PCs.
PwotMoose: that we did
Igfig: in a twist that was completely shocking to all.
Frozenpie: What did we rob? A fruit cart?
Lucas_Strongbow: Does that mean we'll all be playing 2 charaters?
Lucas_Strongbow: I can't deal with that level of multitasking
Igfig: From now on, at the start of each adventure, you'll be able to choose one of your PCs to use in that adventure.
Lucas_Strongbow: Ooh
Frozenpie: (all of the Pc's are level 4)
PwotMoose: awesome
Igfig: (Assuming you actually hire them on as crew, of course)
Frozenpie: I hire barvo
Frozenpie: He can lift things for me
Igfig: (or get them on the ship however)
Igfig: yes
Barvo: Me barvo tonight.
Igfig: "at the start of each adventure"
Lakanu: Gettin' ma Shardmind awn
PwotMoose: I'll be Jacques tonight, haven't played as him in a while. I'm currently re-speccing him as a full Swordmage instead of a Hybrid, though, so hopefully we won't go into combat immediately
Igfig: Don't you /all/ swap out now
Yin: I was planning to stick with Thorn anyways.
Barvo: Bandwagoners
Yin: Least tonight.
Igfig: kay
Lakanu: I think Hero's still Hero
Thorn_the_Gnoll joined #pwot_dnd.
PwotMoose: Do we have any other defenders?
Yin left #pwot_dnd.
Igfig: Hero is Barvo today it appears
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Not currently.
Lakanu: Ah
dreyrugr_nott: I'll stay as drey since I haven't put level 4 BD on plothook
Lakanu: And no. Slayer
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Though I think my buddy is going to be showing up pretty soon to join in, least for tonight.
Igfig: Okay
PwotMoose: If we don't have any defenders, I'll be Jacques
Thorn_the_Gnoll: His character is an assault swordmage actually.
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Oddly enough.
PwotMoose: Mine's shielding when I get done with it
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Ah har.
Slim_Bankshot: Hey everyone
Slim_Bankshot: Quick PSA
Igfig: In any case, here you guys are just outside of that complex that gave you so much grief earlier, puzzle-wise
Lakanu: Oh. so we did make it out of there alive
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Sooooooo much grief.
Slim_Bankshot: If my headache comes back (which it shouldn't) I will probably break for some fresh air
Thorn_the_Gnoll: My buddy will be here quick, he's setting up his laptop.
Igfig: Yes.  You successfully turned it off.
Slim_Bankshot: I will give you forwarning
Slim_Bankshot: red
Igfig: Comparing notes, you realize that the big beam you saw from the air was happening at the same time as all the stuff with the wells and the ring.
Igfig: pretty obvious
Igfig: Anyway.  What would you all like to do?
Barvo: Barvo want to smash more.
Lakanu: Exchange pleasentries
Barvo: ( I think we should do some proper looting and pillaging of this ancient temple)
Thorn_the_Gnoll points at Alek.
Thorn_the_Gnoll: "He smells dead."
dreyrugr_nott: Are you a defender Jacques?
Jacques_Flambe: Yes
dreyrugr_nott: Then I'll change to BD since fortuna hates drey
Lakanu: I fist bump Black Dynamite
Igfig: So... Thorn is the only original here?
Slim_Bankshot: OK, so is everyone here?
Far-Walker: Whoops I'm back now
Igfig: And Far.
Far-Walker: Yup
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Apparently.
Igfig: Huh.  Okay.
Barvo: I can switch back
Slim_Bankshot: Hmmm.....
Barvo: I don't mind
Igfig: Maybe that's a good idea
Slim_Bankshot: I thought 1.8 was due out today....
Heronius: Who are these savage looking creatures.
Black_Dynamite: I'd stay as drey, but fortuna hates me
Igfig: OOC, Slim
Heronius: I want all of them under contract immediately.
Igfig: Can any of you play instruments?
Black_Dynamite: I can play the fist
Heronius: Haul, or set up equipment.
Far-Walker: Far's got some bass up in this bitch
Jacques_Flambe: That'd be a no
Heronius: knowledge of lighing
Jacques_Flambe: I can set stuff on fire?
Heronius: lighting*
Black_Dynamite: I'm security
Heronius: Black Dynamite can be used to bring in foxy ladies.
Lakanu: I'm made of crystal. Fire a laser into me and you've got a lightshow
Heronius: from far and wide
Heronius: Good.
Heronius: I guess
Igfig: Considering your old promoter/security guy, Chesty, disappeared along with Sark
Sanguine joined #pwot_dnd.
Heronius: Any of you have sailing experience?
Igfig: I think BD would do well at that
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Thar he is.
Igfig: Hello Sanguine
Black_Dynamite: "I know I was the best Shetland Firestorm security guard Shetland Firestorm ever had, but I told you honkies from Shetland Firestorm that Black Dynamite was out of the game!"
Heronius: We will be leaving this planet in due time, and profiteering our way across the universe.
Lakanu: I guess I have sailing experience? (I'm 900 years old)
Igfig: How many of those were spent in a box?
Lakanu: A few series worth
Black_Dynamite: A blue box to be exact
Lakanu: I brought my screwdriver
TheBouDood joined #pwot_dnd.
TheBouDood left #pwot_dnd.
Igfig: What kind of doctor is made out of crystal?
Black_Dynamite: "What good is a screwdriver you honky fool!"
Igfig: Also, who was that
Sanguine: Harro
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Oh, he was doing my trick for having two names.
Thorn_the_Gnoll: So he has the two chats open in different tabs.
Igfig: Ahh
Igfig: Okay.  You hand out the contracts and hire everyone.
Igfig: And then?
Lakanu: I guess we do some dungeon shiz
Lakanu: Raise funds
Far-Walker: Dungeon crawlin' this bitch
Heronius: Looting.
Heronius: Procuring.
Heronius: High yield archeaology.
Black_Dynamite: Punching
Lakanu: Avenging
Igfig: The Backups already explored this specific building pretty thoroughly
Igfig: and there wasn't much of value
Lakanu: Massive waste of time
Igfig: and what there was of value, they already took
Black_Dynamite: There was stuff to punch though
Heronius: What sort of stuff?
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Maybe there was a map to someplace useful or something?
Black_Dynamite: Everything
Igfig: Not a lot... a couple loose coins and miscellaneous artifacts (not the magical kind)
Black_Dynamite: You can punch everything
Sanguine: Amen!
Igfig: Also, you guys notice the sky darkening and the wind starting to pick up
Jacques_Flambe: It was a tremendous disappointment
Black_Dynamite: In the absence of anything, you can punch yourself. 
Lakanu: It's good training
Black_Dynamite: "Down boy!"
Sanguine: hear, hear...kinda hurts though\
Black_Dynamite: PUNCH THE WIND
Black_Dynamite: 1d20+5
Fortuna: Black_Dynamite, 1d20+5: [8] = 13
Igfig: A storm appears to be brewing
Igfig: Does anybody remember what storms around here are like?
Heronius: Where is Brigsby when you need him?
Heronius: Horrifying.
Heronius: Let us make haste.
Black_Dynamite: PUNCH THE STORM
Black_Dynamite: 1d20+5
Fortuna: Black_Dynamite, 1d20+5: [15] = 20
Igfig: You punch the sky dramatically.
Igfig: well, the air.
Black_Dynamite: WOOOOOO
Jacques_Flambe: Brigsby would only make this worse
Lakanu: History check to remember what storms are like
Lakanu: 1d20+7
Fortuna: Lakanu, 1d20+7: [13] = 20
Black_Dynamite: "That'll teach you honkies to mess with Black Dynamite"
Igfig: You don't need a history check. You live through them on a regular basis.
Igfig: They are terrible, though.
Lakanu: But I REMEMBER what they're like really well
Jacques_Flambe: Well, I am literally fire, so I think rain is a bad thing for me
Igfig: Luckily, they don't have much rain
Lakanu: We need to find somewhere to wait out the storm
Igfig: Mostly it's very high winds, to the point of sendign debris hurling around at high speed
Black_Dynamite: You can use my afro
Jacques_Flambe: Flying in it is probably a bad idea
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Oh, like that storm those jackalweres dashed out into that put the metal rod through the wall.
Heronius: What better place than an ancient temple full of crumbling architecture?
Black_Dynamite: My afro can be used as an emergency shelter in times of need
Igfig: Quote from last storm: "Slimbankshot: You successfully duck, avoiding a large metal tube that come flying past your head and embeds in the far wall"
Lakanu: Well...shit
Lakanu: Hide
Igfig: Far-Walker: Going to do a Nature check on this weather. See if it's normal, abnormal, etc. and what the best thing to do in a storm is.
Igfig: Slimbankshot: You come to the conclusion that this wind storm is both natural, and not
Igfig: Far-Walker: "This wind is pretty ambiguous."
Igfig: Slimbankshot: You can tell that, while it is occuring naturally, the climate wasn't always like this. There was a time when such a storm wouldn't have happened Heronius_Napalm: This planet wasn't always complete shit.
Igfig: whoops, copied an extra line
Black_Dynamite: Obviously we need to rock the crap out of the planet
Thorn_the_Gnoll: It was an appropriate extra line though.
Igfig: true
Jacques_Flambe: I have a feat that lets me switch Elemental Manifestations, and my second one is Windsoul, if I switch to that will it give me some sort of insight into what's up with the storm?
Far-Walker: Oh man, it's /this/ wind.
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Yup.
Heronius: This planet is complete shitt.
Igfig: Well
Black_Dynamite: Earth wind be like dis but this plant's wind be like dis
Igfig: You've lived with these storms all your life, and don't really know more than that
Igfig: However
Igfig: as the storm continues to build in the sky
Igfig: the wind around you starts to die down
Thorn_the_Gnoll: That is odd.
Black_Dynamite: It's because I punched it
Igfig: Maybe
Jacques_Flambe: It's like the Howling Tempest, we're in the eye
Igfig: Nature check?
Jacques_Flambe: 1d20+4 I'm not good at nature
Fortuna: Jacques_Flambe, I'm not good at nature: [7] = 11
Black_Dynamite: 1d20+3
Fortuna: Black_Dynamite, 1d20+3: [11] = 14
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Hey Far, do that voodoo that you do.
Heronius: 1d20+2
Fortuna: Heronius, 1d20+2: [11] = 13
Far-Walker quit.
Igfig: welp
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Guess I'll give it a sniff then.
Jacques_Flambe: we have no goddamn clue
Heronius: I hate it when they do that.
Vyrwolf joined #pwot_dnd.
Thorn_the_Gnoll: 1d20+2 Gnollish Smelling of Storm
Fortuna: Thorn_the_Gnoll, Gnollish Smelling of Storm: [17] = 19
Black_Dynamite: Thorn sticks his nose up in the air and takes a big whiff
Igfig: Jaqcues is, in fact, completely correct.
Lakanu: 1d20+6
Fortuna: Lakanu, 1d20+6: [3] = 9
Lakanu: Nope
Igfig: You guys are in the eye of the storm.
Thorn_the_Gnoll: I wonder how long that'll last.
Jacques_Flambe: I am smart
Sanguine: Sounds like it's gonna get painful soon...maybe...
Jacques_Flambe: We need to figure out what to do, if we just sit here we're gonna get caught in it again
Black_Dynamite: "In the event of an emergency, my afro can be used as a flotation device and a shelter."
Heronius: Enter temple.
Heronius: We are not doing an afro fort adventure
Heronius: fighting dandruff monsters and chocobos
Jacques_Flambe: I will burn that afro off your head, don't test me
Sanguine: ...
Black_Dynamite: If you touch my afro I will beat you.
Thorn_the_Gnoll: With his fist.
Igfig: The storm builds further.  Half a kilometer away in every direction is a wall of blackness.
Heronius: 1d20+9 diplomacy
Fortuna: Heronius, diplomacy: [11] = 20
Heronius: both of you shut up.
Heronius: Enter ruins.
Heronius: Now.
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Right, follow the boss time.
Sanguine: ...ruins it is
Igfig: Right.  You do so.
Black_Dynamite: [Insert Black Dynamite monologue about being blacker then black here]
Igfig: You can see the map of the ruins in the Scribblar
Igfig: it's just the same as before
Heronius: (brb)
Igfig: except the fire and the radiant vortex have stopped, etc
Jacques_Flambe: So do we just wait out the storm, or...?
Lakanu: I can see my L on the map there. Utterly failing
Igfig: also you propped the door open
Igfig: (the really annoying door in the middle, I mean)
Lakanu: It wasn't annoying, we were dumb
Jacques_Flambe: Yeah, the one that NEEDS propping
Heronius: I was not present
Jacques_Flambe: be glad
Igfig: Specifically it needed to be opened by two sentient creatures at once, one organic, the other inorganic
Heronius: What is in the room?
Igfig: Which room?
Heronius: wait, which door?
Igfig: the circled one
Black_Dynamite: I am
Black_Dynamite: Because I was behind it the entire time
Black_Dynamite: Doin Kung Fu
Igfig: Someone else was there too... DAVE, I think.
Black_Dynamite: No, just me
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Bashal had gone through and disappeared I think.
Igfig: Bashal, that was it.
Black_Dynamite: No, he slipped in and out
Black_Dynamite: With that ash power of his
Jacques_Flambe: DAVE was earlier in the adventure, with Hyrr and Cynthia and such
Thorn_the_Gnoll: You're thinking Jacques.
Igfig: Right
Jacques_Flambe: Yeah, I was the one that slipped in
Igfig: Anyway!
Igfig: You continue to not hear the storm outside.
Jacques_Flambe: So everything that needs doing in here is done, right? So are we just waiting out the storm?
Igfig: If there's nothing you want to do here
Lakanu: I think we should follow the eye of the storm
Lakanu: see where it goes
Igfig: Not a bad idea
Igfig: ...The eye does not appear to be moving.
Jacques_Flambe: ...that's weird
Black_Dynamite: It's scared of me
Heronius: Think that giant jet of light summoned it?
Sanguine: unnatural...
Heronius: The storm that is
Igfig: It is remaining pretty much still, right over you guys.
Lakanu: There may be something we need to do in this temple
Jacques_Flambe: Well, I guess let's figure it out!
Heronius: Right over the giant beam of light that was here.
Igfig: Whenever you want to stop and wait out the storm, say so and we'll do that
Lakanu: We do
Igfig: oh, or investigate.  Your choice.
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Nah let's investigate.
Jacques_Flambe: well if it's a magically summoned storm, there's no telling how long it'll last
Heronius: investigation
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Plus I don't think we're in need of an extended rest anyways.
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Not badly anyways.
Lakanu: If we wait out the storm we can go elsewhere
Lakanu: We lready got everything from here
Black_Dynamite: I watched it shoot the jet of light
Black_Dynamite: I did some things but I can't remember what
Igfig: Actually, oddly enough you didn't see it shoot anything out
Igfig: You just saw swirling lights and stuff in the ring
Jacques_Flambe: Yeah, Hero and Thorn were the ones who saw it, we were inside
Black_Dynamite: Oh. I just watched it warm up
Igfig: but not the beam
Igfig: Only the people who were outside the building saw th beam
Lakanu: I'm gonna take a mad stab here
Lakanu: It's a beacon
Jacques_Flambe: player knowledge != character knowledge, etc.
Fortuna: Say please.
Jacques_Flambe: please?
Black_Dynamite: MAKE ME
Black_Dynamite: MAKE ME FORTUNA
Igfig: You were there the whole time, while it was firing, and didn't see much
Slim_Bankshot: Hey it's cool if we have spectators in here right?
Igfig: inside, at least
Igfig: Of course
Lakanu: It's a beacon, that will summon elves
Black_Dynamite: Only if I can punch them\
Lakanu: Evil space elves
Heronius: most likely
Heronius: or whoever built this
Lakanu: How high does the beam go?
Heronius: high
Black_Dynamite: "I punch evil space elves for breakfast you jive turkeys" 
Igfig: It went up into the sky as far as you could see
Lakanu: It's obviously for someone elses benefit
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Hey Hero, maybe you should arcane the circle?
Lakanu: What's the architecture in the temple like?
Igfig: but you're not sure how far that is, or how far it went beyond that
Lakanu: Or do i have to make a check?
Heronius: Lets take a look at the source area.
Slim_Bankshot: Gotta disconnect for a sec
Jacques_Flambe: I'm good at arcana too, wanna team up on this ring?
Slim_Bankshot: Don't kill anyone without me
Igfig: The architecture in here is quite simple and businesslike
Slim_Bankshot quit.
Igfig: Not like a temple at all, really
Black_Dynamite: Is it a buisness?
Black_Dynamite: A coffee shop perhaps
Heronius: Forever 21?
Jacques_Flambe: It's a focusing circle thing, from what I remember.
Lakanu: Similar to the elven space ship?
Jacques_Flambe: It brings energy into the circle, and makes a big swirly vortex of power and junk.
Thorn_the_Gnoll: I don't think we were on an elven space ship, ust the gratch ship.
Igfig: Nope, it looks nothing like the elven ships.
Black_Dynamite: Victoria's secret?
Lakanu: Weird
Igfig: No, not a business at all.
Heronius: History check!
Igfig: Anybody still outside?
Vyrwolf: nope
Heronius: 1d20+12
Fortuna: Heronius, 1d20+12: [20] = 32
Lakanu: Dang
Heronius: I know all the history
Igfig: This is a difficult roll to judge, Hero
mohawk joined #pwot_dnd.
Heronius: I can make an educated guess I think.
Slim joined #pwot_dnd.
Jacques_Flambe: aww, it's a nat20, throw us a bone here
Black_Dynamite: 1d20+5 to punch the spectators
Fortuna: Black_Dynamite, to punch the spectators: [11] = 16
Black_Dynamite: WOOO
Slim left #pwot_dnd.
Black_Dynamite: Oh my
Black_Dynamite: I killed one
Lakanu: You hit him so hard he fell off the internet
Slim_Bankshot joined #pwot_dnd.
Igfig: Yeah, I think so.  You don't know much about this planet, but it looks like... something industrial, maybe?  Or civic?  Like an airport, or a sewage treatment plant.
Heronius: This is a fucking sewer.
Heronius: I hate you people.
Black_Dynamite: This is an aiprort
Black_Dynamite: Let's fly
Slim_Bankshot: OK, what did I miss?
Jacques_Flambe: I've never seen a sewer with a giant energy vortex
Slim_Bankshot: red
Igfig: That was just an example
Heronius: There are some massive shits on this planet
Heronius: that need disposing of.
Igfig: your characters don't even know what a sewage treatment plant is
Black_Dynamite: Hero does because he knows all the history
Igfig: But it's that kind of thing.  Some kind of public building with a physical function.
Jacques_Flambe: I make my head-flames flicker impatiently
Black_Dynamite: A guard house
Lakanu: So it's an important building. With a giant beam. Does the room focus the beam?
Black_Dynamite: A bank
Heronius: This was a public building with a physical function.
Frogbone joined #pwot_dnd.
Igfig: Frog!
Black_Dynamite: Oh. A brothel then
Jacques_Flambe: The circle focuses the beam
Igfig: Sup.
Lakanu: Into what?
Jacques_Flambe: UP
Igfig: Yeah, the circle is almost certainly what focuses the beam.
Thorn_the_Gnoll pokes the circle.
Lakanu: So what happens if I touch the beam?
Frogbone: yo
Jacques_Flambe: I know this, because I saw it working and considered jumping into it at one point
Lakanu: I hurl wilco into the beam
Igfig: The beam is not currently active
Heronius: What, exactly is the beam?
Igfig: It is also not visible from inside the building
Heronius: We should find out.
Lakanu: Turn on the beam
Jacques_Flambe: it's a giant pillar of energy that got shot up out of the circle
Igfig: Let me quote some relevant stuff from last time you were here
Lakanu: I have forgotten EVERYTHING
Black_Dynamite: I remember jumping into the circle
Jacques_Flambe: last time we turned the beam on, we got attacked by an endless horde of slow-moving elementals
Sanguine: Can I has stabs something?
Igfig: Actually, even better: I'll quote from when I was explaining stuff to Slim, later.
Lakanu: Let's fire this thing up
Igfig: If you cast fire into the blue well, it starts spewing out blue fire, and the stone circle glows blue
Igfig: If you cast radiant into the yellow well, it starts whirling with radiance, and the circle glows yellow as well.
Igfig: There was also a green, lightning-aligned well you didn't touch.
Heronius: Fire you say?
Lakanu: Let's all go and do that
Jacques_Flambe: and also all those wells send forth legions of fire demons
Igfig: The circle is a focusing array for magic [3:32:25 PM] Igfig: brb phone [3:33:41 PM] Igfig: okay, so yeah. Arcane focusing array. [3:34:05 PM] Igfig: Igfig: when I say "arcane", though, I mean "does arcane things" not "does things using arcane means" Igfig: if that difference makes sense Igfig: the ring itself is not magical Igfig: although it's doing magical 
Igfig:  things
Igfig: Igfig: it's like, the ring is some kind of inorganic, nonsentient wizard thing [3:35:39 PM] Igfig: I told them that standing in the ring might give you power, or kill you
Igfig: and that you can turn it off by casting the appropriate spells into the glowing stuff at the middle of the ring
Heronius: Alright,
Heronius: We have a new power reactor for the ship.
Heronius: Fuck yes.
Jacques_Flambe: Oh mercy
Heronius: Excavate that motherfucker
Black_Dynamite: PUNCH THE GROUND TO EXCAVATE
Milo_Magnus joined #pwot_dnd.
Black_Dynamite: 1d20+5
Fortuna: Black_Dynamite, 1d20+5: [8] = 13
mohawk quit.
Igfig: Hi Milo
Milo_Magnus: hey
Jacques_Flambe: you're in for a ride
Black_Dynamite: Sorry Milo. Waffle isn't here so you can't assassinate him
Igfig: How do you guys intend to excavate this thing?
Black_Dynamite: With punching
Milo_Magnus: Are we in front of something worth excavating?
Milo_Magnus: and punching?
Jacques_Flambe: I'll let BD punch the ground until he gets tired, then we can figure something out
Lakanu: Let's turn this shiz on.
Lakanu: I have a lightning attack, let's do it
Heronius: Let's see if there is a basement to this place.
Igfig: A magical focusing array thing, milo
Heronius: Get under these things
Heronius: or something
Igfig: if you need to get caught up, ask in OOC
Igfig: One sec
Lakanu: Is the firey death still coming out of the blue well?
Jacques_Flambe: Probably not, that's just leftover from last time
Igfig: Nah, it stopped when you turned the fire off
Igfig: yeah
Jacques_Flambe: I wonder if there's something in the bottom of the array that I can Ashfall into
Lakanu: I'm desperate to turn this room on and see what it does
Jacques_Flambe: maybe lead to another room
Igfig: Which array?  The ring?
Jacques_Flambe: yeah
Jacques_Flambe: I guess
Igfig: I guess that's the only array
Igfig: Well, Perception?
Lakanu: 1d20+13
Fortuna: Lakanu, 1d20+13: [16] = 29
Lakanu: Perceptive as all hell over here
Milo_Magnus: nice
Igfig: Well then
Igfig: Under some of the rubble and crud in the wrecked area, pretty close to where BD found that skeleton, you find a smooth panel in the floor
Igfig: that does seem like it could open
Lakanu: No doubt after we jump through some hoops
Igfig: as it has a small hole near one side, possibly a keyhole
Lakanu: There we go
Thorn_the_Gnoll: I vote thievery:
Jacques_Flambe: Alright, so we can either pick the lock, or I can just try and Ashfall through it
Black_Dynamite: I still have that key don't I?
Heronius: Magical keyhole?
Black_Dynamite: I got a key from the skeleton right
Black_Dynamite: I'm not imagining that am I
Thorn_the_Gnoll: 1d20+11 Thievery
Fortuna: Thorn_the_Gnoll, Thievery: [17] = 28
Jacques_Flambe: Doesn't matter, Thorn's got this
Igfig: Yeah, BD, you did
Igfig: I was actually just checking the logs to make sure you did
Black_Dynamite: Well I'll use that if Thorn fails
Black_Dynamite: (Say he fails)
Milo_Magnus: I can shoot it with my crossbow
Igfig: Thorn succeeds, and the panel slides back, revealing, uh
Igfig: a second panel
Igfig: also with a keyhole
Igfig: that looks like it'd actually fit your key
Milo_Magnus: *readies crossbow*
Milo_Magnus: oh
Black_Dynamite: I punch thorn out of the way and use the key
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Ow.
Igfig: The first panel slides shut behind you, and the second opens
Black_Dynamite: Don't take it personally. Shoving is for the weak.
Igfig: do you have any light?
Heronius: adorable.
Black_Dynamite: I WILL PUNCH LIGHT INTO EXISTENCE 
Black_Dynamite: 1d20+5
Fortuna: Black_Dynamite, 1d20+5: [3] = 8
Jacques_Flambe: Jeez, BD, give me the key. I emit my own light.
Black_Dynamite: And by that I mean I have an everlasting torch
Heronius: There is a door between you too.
Black_Dynamite: So yeah, I use that
Heronius: two*
Igfig: You unfortunately do not punch the darkness away.
Black_Dynamite: My everlasting torch does that
Igfig: Ah
Igfig: I did not see that
Igfig: Right
Igfig: You're in a cramped area, filled with arcane machinery
Igfig: gears and orreries and circuitboards and arrays of crystals
Jacques_Flambe: You get out of there right now
Jacques_Flambe: before you punch something
skaz joined #pwot_dnd.
Black_Dynamite: "No."
Igfig: you can see a large hemisphere, open side up, under where the stone circle was
Lakanu: Darth Vader emerges
Sanguine: Luke, I am your father!
skaz quit.
Igfig: off in the darkness, some pillars, or maybe cylinders, or maybe it's just the other side of the wells
Lakanu: Hemisphere...a lens maybe?
Igfig: All of it is connected up to each other in strange, complicated ways
Sanguine: For focusing the beam?
Igfig: Seems likely, since it's right under the focusing array
Milo_Magnus: If it turns out to be a canon, can we put it on our ship?
Far-Walker quit.
Heronius: "dynamite, figure out the source, and bring it to me."
Jacques_Flambe: "Don't tell him that, he's just gonna punch it out of its socket or something"
Black_Dynamite: PUNCH
Black_Dynamite: 1d20+5
Fortuna: Black_Dynamite, 1d20+5: [9] = 14
Black_Dynamite: Do I find it?
Igfig: You punch something, not particularly affecting it.
Igfig: I don't even know what you're looking for.
Black_Dynamite: Dang it
Black_Dynamite: The source
Black_Dynamite: I am punching stuff to find the source
Igfig: What is the source?
Black_Dynamite: No idea
Black_Dynamite: Hero told me
Igfig: The source of the beam?
Black_Dynamite: I assume so
Heronius: Sure, why not.
Jacques_Flambe: Isn't the source those three wells?
Heronius: they are the conduit
Jacques_Flambe: which makes us the source
Igfig: Well, BD has no idea what is what in here.
Heronius: BD
Heronius: Let me in.
Black_Dynamite: I leave
Lakanu: Are there any instruction-y looking things posted around?
Lakanu: I'm going in too
Lakanu: The doctor is in session
Igfig: Nope, no instructions
Igfig: Okay, Hero and Lakanu are inside.
Jacques_Flambe: Anyone have any Radiant attacks?
Lakanu: Yo
Heronius: 1d20+14 arcana
Fortuna: Heronius, arcana: [1] = 15
Black_Dynamite: Me to
Jacques_Flambe: And Lightning?
Heronius: I am lost.
Heronius: wai tno
Heronius: Arcane insight
Black_Dynamite: Hero sets himself on fire
Heronius: 1d20+14 arcana
Fortuna: Heronius, arcana: [1] = 15
Lakanu: I have a lightning attack
Heronius: ehhh??
Igfig: !
Jacques_Flambe: you are still lost
Heronius: Is that cause I copied it?
Frogbone quit.
Heronius: with the up key?
Igfig: Don't think so...
Jacques_Flambe: Lakanu, wanna turn this baby on with the wells?
Heronius: 1d20+14 arcana
Fortuna: Heronius, arcana: [6] = 20
Heronius: nope
Heronius: okay
Heronius: I have no idea then.
Igfig: But yeah, you have no clue how this all works.
Heronius: Fuck this
Heronius: I wander back into the hallway
Lakanu: Let's give the wells a proper go
Heronius: and start burning rats.
Jacques_Flambe: Alright, so me and Lakanu go to the well room
Igfig: You'll be able to make a new check if you look at it while it's active.
Igfig: fyi
Heronius: k
Lakanu: Hero, come with, we need fire
Heronius: Waiting for that.
Heronius: fiiiine
Jacques_Flambe: I am fire
Heronius: brb
Jacques_Flambe: that is what I am
Lakanu: Ok, never mind
Lakanu: Oh yeah
Lakanu: Flambe
Jacques_Flambe: Hero, you stay in there and make the arcana check when we turn it on and such
Lakanu: Anyway, Bond of Retribution on radiant well!
Lakanu: 1d20+9 attack roll for some reason
Fortuna: Lakanu, attack roll for some reason: [13] = 22
Jacques_Flambe: Incendiary Sword on fire well
Igfig: Okay!  You see pale yellow light start to well up within the furthest well
Jacques_Flambe: Wait, no, Greenflame Blade
Jacques_Flambe: 1d20+12
Fortuna: Jacques_Flambe, 1d20+12: [11] = 23
Heronius: Waiting in uderground area
Igfig: Are you staying in there to watch?
Black_Dynamite: If they aren't, I'm coming in
Milo_Magnus: can I do anything?
Lakanu: And then, after a quick breather, Sparking Wounds on lightning well
Lakanu: 1d20+9
Fortuna: Lakanu, 1d20+9: [19] = 28
Jacques_Flambe: eat shit, wells
Lakanu: And then I run back to the downstairsy room
Jacques_Flambe: me too
Lakanu: After a quick Jackques high five
Heronius: 1d20+14 on wells
Fortuna: Heronius, on wells: [3] = 17
Igfig: Lakanu leaves the radiant room just before the vortex bursts forth
Jacques_Flambe: The wells are in a completely different part of the building
Igfig: The bottoms of the wells are in a connected area, downstairs.
Jacques_Flambe: ah
Heronius: That is wehre I am
Igfig: The blue flames start creeping out of the blue well
Lakanu: I know, I run super fast
Igfig: And green lightning begins to crackle off the walls into the green well
Black_Dynamite: I'm staying in to watch
Thorn_the_Gnoll continues sitting in the spot Black Dynamite punched him in to.
Jacques_Flambe: Okay, we're back in the main Array room. Swirling Vortex now?
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Actually, I'm gonna wander over to watch the array thing from above.
Igfig: Downstairs, Hero, you see machinery whir to life
Lakanu: Hot diggidy daffodil
Igfig: the bases of the wells are enveloped in sheaths of coloured light--some kind of feedback loop?
Heronius: hmmm
Heronius: *hand on chin, stroking facial hair thoughfully*
Igfig: The fire, lightning, and radiance are flung upwards into the... reactor rooms (?) above
Igfig: but at the same time, a very bright and pure energy is flung directly downwards from each
Igfig: It feeds into some very complicated machinery, and you lose track of what's going on for a moment
Milo_Magnus: it's stunning
Heronius: Is this whole building... a spaceship?
Igfig: Until sigils and glyphs start to light up all around the underside of the focusing ring above
Igfig: energy crackles down the ribs of the hemisphere
Lakanu: I doubt it. But definitely important. A power plant, a communicator, a beacon?
Igfig: and arcs into the middle, until it's completely filled with light
Igfig: blue fire, sheathed in radiance, with coruscating green at the core
Igfig: All funneling into a single point in space
Jacques_Flambe: this is certainly something
Igfig: Disappearing.
Igfig: And then it stays like that.
Black_Dynamite: Can I dive into it?
Lakanu: Curious
Igfig: Upstairs, the circle is glowing and shit like before... yeah, you could dive in I suppose.
Black_Dynamite: FOOL. BLACK DYNAMITE DOESN'T DIVE. HE PUNCHES
Black_Dynamite: 1d20+5
Fortuna: Black_Dynamite, 1d20+5: [20] = 25
Black_Dynamite: Aw yeah
Igfig: Oh fuck
Lakanu: You broke it
Lakanu: We never leave the planet
Lakanu: We die here, alone and resentful
Black_Dynamite: I broke all the things
Heronius: What happens with the radiant energy?
Milo_Magnus: did he just punch something succesfully?
Jacques_Flambe: I think he punched the air in an attempt to launch himself into the beam
Igfig: Fortuna just loves to give you guys crits at the most plot-appropriate times
Fortuna smiles shyly.
Black_Dynamite: Fortuna is in on it all
Igfig: It's not funny, Fortuna, it's really inconvenient for me.
Jacques_Flambe: for once she's on our side
Heronius: Are we going to end up with super-saiyen Black Dynamite?
Heronius: Cause I don't think I can handle the yellow fro.
Igfig: As it is, I'm not even sure what...
Igfig: uh, I'm going to confer with Slim for a second.
Heronius: When in doubt tpk
Igfig: This is actually surprisingly similar to my last TPK
Heronius: wait thats first edition
Jacques_Flambe: Yeah, you said earlier that it would either make you super powerful or kill you right out
Heronius: like 20 healing surges
Jacques_Flambe: so we're either gonna have to deal with Super Saiyan Black Dynamite, or Delf is rolling another character
Igfig: Okay, Slim's not answering
Igfig: Uhh
Heronius: Delf has 6 of them.
Black_Dynamite: No, I have 2
Black_Dynamite: Drey and BD
Heronius: roll another one then.
Black_Dynamite: And one that's not on plothook
Black_Dynamite: And one that is level 5
Igfig:  6d12 fire, lightning, and radiant damage on BD
Fortuna: Igfig, fire, lightning, and radiant damage on BD: [9, 10, 10, 7, 4, 7] = 47
Heronius: hhahaha
Black_Dynamite: BD dies
Igfig: No
Heronius: nice one
Jacques_Flambe: you are dead
Milo_Magnus: hahaha
Igfig: You don't die until your negative bloodied value
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Yeah he's only unconscious.
Black_Dynamite: I'm at -6 then
Jacques_Flambe: so is he still in there? Because I'm not going in after him
Igfig: BD is flung across the room in a smoking heap
Jacques_Flambe: guess not
Milo_Magnus: I'll go get him
Heronius: "well, that was a stupid idea.
Heronius: "
Milo_Magnus: I have some healing shit
Igfig: Alive, but dying
Heronius: "Moving on."
Slim_Bankshot: Wait
Slim_Bankshot: Ig
Jacques_Flambe: how hard is he flung across the room, let's get some impact damage in too
Slim_Bankshot: Not answering what?
Lakanu: "He's in a stable condiition, but unfortunately...we were unable to save his afro"
Jacques_Flambe: perfect
Igfig: I sent a message on Skype
Thorn_the_Gnoll: BD got a crit on the thing, so he was going to confer with you on it.
Igfig: ...oh, it's Skype that's being trouble
Igfig:  1d10 impact damage
Fortuna: Igfig, impact damage: [3] = 3
Jacques_Flambe: -9 now, can you dig it?
Lakanu: to be fair it was a crit on punching a ring of pure energy
Igfig: And Lakanu, that's not quite true
Lakanu: It was never gonna go well
Igfig: Actually
Thorn_the_Gnoll: ?
Black_Dynamite: Oh well
Sanguine: say what?
Black_Dynamite: I can't find the quote I need
Igfig: The hand Black Dynamite used to punch the energy is kinda charred and blackened
Slim_Bankshot: Ig hold up a sec
Milo_Magnus: will he ever punch again doc?
Black_Dynamite: "As he laid there, flat on his face, he looked up at me. His little Chinese eyes burned right into my stomach, deep into my soul. 'Why Igfig. Why?"
Igfig: and around the wrist, it's puffed up and--kinda crunchy?
Lakanu: We need to rebuild him. Darth vader style
Milo_Magnus: we will make him a fist of titanium
Igfig: And yet, it actually feels pretty good
Milo_Magnus: with pointy parts at the end
Heronius: Is he fucking hellboy now?
Igfig: like, it doesn't hurt much
Milo_Magnus: and a potato masher on the side
Igfig: and it actually feels stronger now
Black_Dynamite: I am a masochist apparently
Black_Dynamite: Aw yeah
Milo_Magnus: dildofist
Heronius: "Black dynamite has a massive erection."
Heronius: "Most unsettling."
Sanguine: Sounds like a bad porno, run and hide folks
Slim_Bankshot: Carry on I guess
Igfig: Not just in a, y'know, physical sense
Igfig: it's like, if strength is measured on a number line
Igfig: it's stronger in a way that would have to be expressed with complex numbers
Black_Dynamite: SCIENCE
Black_Dynamite: WE NEED SCIENCE
Jacques_Flambe: does it smoke constantly?
Thorn_the_Gnoll is happily unaware of these happenings in the room above, staring at the swirly thing and wondering what is happening.
Black_Dynamite: SOMEONE GET THE SCIENCE
Igfig: It smokes, yes
Igfig: It curses
Igfig: well, it looks like it's been cursed
Jacques_Flambe: Also, does BD have a history with dusky women?
Black_Dynamite: A mini-BD has sprouted on his hand
Sanguine: if I say oh dear god?
Lakanu: With a mini BD on it's hand
Lakanu: Like a fractal
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Does this hand of his glow with an awesome power?
Igfig: and yes, his wrist is now sporting something that looks a lot like an afro
Black_Dynamite: AFRO PUNCH
Jacques_Flambe: oh goddammit
Sanguine: oooooooooh shit!
Igfig: You can now punch abstract concepts.
Black_Dynamite: Oh man
Jacques_Flambe: what
Black_Dynamite: I'm going to punch all the abstract concepts
Lakanu: Punch sorrow
Milo_Magnus: Milo_Magnus sighs and picks a bug out of his toes
Sanguine: this is a recipe for disaster.....
Heronius: Like the thief of legend, BD is now the Puncher of Legend.
Jacques_Flambe: WELL, did Hero learn anything from this?
Heronius: 1d20+14
Fortuna: Heronius, 1d20+14: [16] = 30
Heronius: Yes
Sanguine: I'm gonna go find a corner to hide in, brb, or whatev
Igfig: Most abstract concepts are pretty big, by the way, so punching them won't do much right now
Igfig: you are, after all, only level 4
Igfig: but still, it's there
Jacques_Flambe: Endgame: Black Dynamite knocks out Evil
Heronius: I think you found your epic destiny.
Igfig: Anyway, Hero
Heronius: BD Punches Jive turkeyness.
Black_Dynamite: I WILL PUNCH EVIL IN THE FACE
Black_Dynamite: I WILL PUNCH UNCOOL IN THE FACE
Jacques_Flambe: also drugs in the community
Igfig: You don't know all the details of the machine
Sanguine: thanks, please miss me whilst you're about that...
Black_Dynamite: 1d20+5 to punch drugs in the community
Fortuna: Black_Dynamite, to punch drugs in the community: [17] = 22
Sanguine: the evil punching, thanks
Black_Dynamite: DRUGS HAVE BEEN ELIMINATED FROM THE COMMUNITY
Igfig: In fact, you still don't even understand the basic principles behind what it's doing
Heronius: horrah!
Igfig: but you have a fair idea of how it's doing it
Igfig: as a process, I mean
Sanguine: the amazing afro?
Igfig: No, the focusing array
Sanguine: aaaaaaawh...
Igfig: And while you certainly couldn't reproduce it
Milo_Magnus: I don't even know who I can talk to and who is in the other rooms
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Just hang out with me in the room with the glowing swirly circle.
Igfig: You could definitely take it apart and install it somewhere else, with some help
Heronius: *Grin*
Milo_Magnus: but we don't even know what it is
Lakanu: We gots ourselves an engine boys
Milo_Magnus: this could destroy worlds
Igfig: Also, guys
Heronius: It is our new power reactor.
Black_Dynamite: I WILL PUNCH WEAKNESS IN THE FACE
Milo_Magnus: create life of unspeakable horror
Milo_Magnus: collapse entire galaxies
Igfig: Two things
Milo_Magnus: and you want it to power a paddywagon?
Igfig: Is anybody outside?
Black_Dynamite: Define outside
Milo_Magnus: I'm with Thorn
Igfig: And is anybody anywhere near the reactor rooms?
Milo_Magnus: *shakes thorn's belly*
Black_Dynamite: Outside is a concept maaaaaaaaaaan
Jacques_Flambe: where are those?
Black_Dynamite: And I will punch it
Heronius: I think we left the shuttle in the woods
Milo_Magnus: no
Heronius: so sark is on it.'
Thorn_the_Gnoll: And I'm in the room above the array, so, I'm on the main floor in the big room.
Igfig: (that is, the wells)
Heronius: Thorn is.
Lakanu: I'm downstairs
Thorn_the_Gnoll: No I'm in the room above you guys, not the rooms with the wells.
Jacques_Flambe: no
Igfig: Okay
Thorn_the_Gnoll: I suppose I could hear something happening and check it out but I'm not there right now.
Lakanu: I wonder how that storm is doing
Jacques_Flambe: I suppose those endless hordes of blue fire thingies are marching again?
Igfig: Yeah, they are
Heronius: We will be leaving those in space.
Igfig: The fire is spreading like, uh, wildfire.
Heronius: Or we will have to find a way to contain them.
Black_Dynamite: I PUNCH SPREADING FIRE IN THE FACE
Black_Dynamite: 1d20+5
Fortuna: Black_Dynamite, 1d20+5: [5] = 10
Heronius: miss
Igfig: It is unfazed.
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Oh hey, I can see blue fire through the door from here.
Black_Dynamite: DAng
Jacques_Flambe: Yeah, those are probably this thing's exhaust or something
Thorn_the_Gnoll: That's a bit alarming.
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Milo go close that door.
Jacques_Flambe: NO DON'T
Igfig: Yeah... I dunno if you want to leave it on too long
Heronius: I turn off the engines
Lakanu: TURN IT OFF
Black_Dynamite: "Go make friends with it jacques"
Jacques_Flambe: Yeah, we've figured it all out, lets turn it off
Jacques_Flambe: shoot the stones at the base of the Array, same as the wells
Milo_Magnus: I go to close the door
Jacques_Flambe: Greenflame Blade on the Fire Stone, and do I really have to roll? it's a rock
Igfig: Okay.  You close the door just as the fire starts to surge in toward you guys
Igfig: You don't need to roll, no
Jacques_Flambe: Okay, Lakanu, get over here and shoot these stones with Radiance and Lightning
Igfig: ...
Jacques_Flambe: ...
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Lakanu Lakanu Lakanu
Jacques_Flambe: we're in trouble
Sanguine: hello?
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Milo closed the door, we're fine.
Igfig: Brigsby?
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Still would need radiance though.
Jacques_Flambe: Anyone else have radiance?
Igfig: true
Heronius: Wilco has it.
Heronius: probably
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Unless...
Igfig: yeah
Lakanu: hmm
Lakanu: i'm here
Jacques_Flambe: SHOOT THE STONES
Thorn_the_Gnoll: I doubt healing word counts as radiant.
Igfig: QUICK
Lakanu: yeah, i do that
Lakanu: The thing
Igfig: it does not, Thorn
Lakanu: Bond of retribution on radiant
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Yeah, otherwise I'd have Alek help out, and then Thorn would comment on how he still smells like a dead guy.
Lakanu: err...
Lakanu: My lightning is an encounter
Lakanu: and I used it
Thorn_the_Gnoll: It's been a while.
Lakanu: Short rest, anyone
Lakanu: ?
Heronius: we took 5 before
Heronius: You have it
Lakanu: Then I use it
Igfig: You haven't rested since you turned it on
Igfig: so no, you don't have it
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Good thing we closed that door.
Heronius: damn you dungeon master!!
Igfig: that was only like a minute ago
Lakanu: The n I don't use it
Igfig: Are you the only one with lightning here?
Jacques_Flambe: I should have taken one of those lightning attacks instead of Luring Strike
Heronius: I Rub a ballon on my head and throw it at the sphere.
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Wait, my buddy has one I think.
Igfig: Oh?
Heronius: baloon.
Sanguine: Dual Lightning strike on the...rock, I guess
Heronius: balloon
Igfig: Static electricity isn't enough, we tried that last time.
Heronius: dammit
Sanguine: did the lightning strike folks!
Sanguine: hullo?
Igfig: Okay.  Some sanguine-looking dude bursts into the room and performs a Dual Lightning Strike
Heronius: Ahh.
Black_Dynamite: Am I still lying on the floor?
Heronius: Who are you?
Igfig: And the last of the glow fades away
Heronius: Sign this paper.
Sanguine: Char's a chick!
Igfig: and yeah
Igfig: Oh, my apologies
Slim_Bankshot: Also, where the fuck did you get a balloon?
Sanguine: Contract signed?
Milo_Magnus: what?!
Heronius: Sign here please.
Heronius: Good.
Sanguine: *signs there*
Heronius: I am Heronius Napalm XVI, conjuring a balloon is a simple matter.
Sanguine: do you own my soul or something heronius?
Jacques_Flambe: Cool, another Swordmage
Heronius: Yup
Jacques_Flambe: Also, he probably does now
Lakanu: Short rest!
Jacques_Flambe: we didn't read the fine print
Heronius: I own everyone you see before you.
Heronius: Rest up everyone.
Sanguine: nifty...
Sanguine: i feel...dunno...owned
Sanguine: ?
Heronius: You will get used to it.
Jacques_Flambe: you get used to- dammit
Black_Dynamite: I never signed the contract. I punched it
Heronius: That is a signiture from you.
Black_Dynamite: Exactly
Sanguine: mmkay, nice BD, rock on!
Igfig: It's his signature move.
Black_Dynamite: Ba Dum Tish
Igfig: Okay, you rest.
Black_Dynamite: Black Dynamite is already resting
Lakanu: You punch the concept of tiredness
Sanguine: *floaty meditaty tim*
Black_Dynamite: HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE PUNCHED RIGHT IN THE FACE TIREDNESS?
Black_Dynamite: 1d20+5
Fortuna: Black_Dynamite, 1d20+5: [5] = 10
Lakanu: I crackle with psionic divine energy as a I rest
Igfig: Tiredness does not respond.
Black_Dynamite: Not bad apparently
Lakanu: I guess I should pray or something, being an avenger
Sanguine: shame...
Black_Dynamite: Tired is too tired to be respond
Lakanu: sooo, now what?
Igfig: Your choice.
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Probably should start dismantling that thingamajig.
Igfig: You still haven't found any treasure treasure, or at least not much
Lakanu: Not yet
Milo_Magnus: i vote we shoot things with my crossbow
Lakanu: I say we check on that storm
Milo_Magnus: alright
Milo_Magnus: but uh
Heronius: I want to murder something
Milo_Magnus: can we not go directly into it?
Heronius: all this science has gotten my blood up.
Sanguine: seconded, Hero.
Milo_Magnus: it seems kinda stupid to jump directly into something
Jacques_Flambe: We found a GIANT treasure. We just need help moving it.
Black_Dynamite: All of this science is in my blood
Igfig: True
Igfig: It's not the sort of thing you could use to pay off the ship, though
Igfig: hell, you'd probably have to spend more money just to get it moved
Jacques_Flambe: I figured we could use it as a reactor for the ship?
Black_Dynamite: BLACK DYNAMITE WILL CARRY IT
Igfig: Something like that
Black_Dynamite: 1d20+5 to carry
Fortuna: Black_Dynamite, to carry: [9] = 14
Black_Dynamite: He fails
Igfig: Although there's the worry about it setting the ship on fire every time you use it
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Unless we convert that into a flamethrower to point at enemy ships.
Lakanu: We'll figure out an exhaust system
Heronius: We will use complex sciencing to create an exhaust - yeah
Jacques_Flambe: We can route the wells outside, so they'll just be exhaust we leave behind in space
Thorn_the_Gnoll: I like the weaponized exhaust idea.
Heronius: That is an idea as well.
Sanguine: fire is good for burning, I concur with the gnoll
Heronius: An idea that I like.
Jacques_Flambe: It can probably be both, Lucas is a good enough pilot
Jacques_Flambe: he can maneuver the exhaust towards the enemy ships
Igfig: The fire is more of a crawly thing, so aiming it might be hard
Lakanu: Damn right I...he is
Jacques_Flambe: ah
Igfig: The lightning seemed pretty stable, though
Jacques_Flambe: so let's just dump them into space then
Igfig: and the radiant in between
Heronius: We can find ways to weaponize all of them
Heronius: The fire can act like an oil slick
Milo_Magnus: can we give the weaponized exhaust eyes and a mouth and have a dragon canon?
Heronius: a trail behind us
Heronius: Lightning as a front facing beam cannon
Heronius: and radiant as a broadside
Heronius: boo yah
Milo_Magnus: yeah I like this plan
Milo_Magnus: let's do it
Igfig: Well, do note that you also have a colossal beam coming out of this thing here
Lakanu: I am still curious about that
Jacques_Flambe: Ah
Jacques_Flambe: So we don't use it as a reactor
Jacques_Flambe: we use it as a superlaser
Heronius: BOTH
Sanguine: imma chargin mah lazers!
Black_Dynamite: Did I ever get revived?
Jacques_Flambe: but how do we harness the giant beam?
Igfig: This will definitely be a multipurpose device
Heronius: We will figure out the details later
Heronius: during installation and formatting
Heronius: for now, we look for treasure.
Igfig: Aye
Igfig: Where?
Milo_Magnus: How about
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Well, is there anywhere to go down in the basement thing?
Igfig: Nope.
Milo_Magnus: how about here?
Jacques_Flambe: SUDDENLY
Igfig: You have pretty much exhausted this location's secrets
Heronius: The storm rages on?
Igfig: Well, actually
Igfig: A storm is just brewing
Torin_Drotho: Even better
Sanguine: again? does thi splanet ever give up?
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Judging by the giant worms, giant eels, and various other things so far encountered:
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Nope.
Sanguine: well...i like this place
Igfig: Just to jump ahead a bit and skip a lot of waiting, the storm lets up after twenty minutes or so
Heronius: yay!
Heronius: Murder time
Black_Dynamite lies on the floor
Heronius: I attack the local wildlife.
Torin_Drotho: I probably shouldn't have left my horse outside
Igfig: storms here are vigorous, but short
Heronius: With fire!
Igfig: Actually, your horse is perfectly fine
Torin_Drotho: awesome
Igfig: Again, you were directly in the eye of the storm.
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Weird, so there was another storm because of the beam thing.
Milo_Magnus: I think we should move to another area
Sanguine: weather control device?
Torin_Drotho: That beam probably goes into space, which disrupts the sky or something
Torin_Drotho: I dunno
Heronius: Let's Burn the forest down!
Sanguine: I'm in!
Torin_Drotho: Wait. Why?
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Either way, hey weren't the people in the tower off to find some legendary treasure in some ruined city?
Igfig: That is true, yes.
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Before a ravine and that tower sidetracked them?
Torin_Drotho: Yeah, we were
Igfig: You guys are in the ruined city, actually
Igfig: but the real treasure is at the center
Igfig: so the stories go
Torin_Drotho: We were off to find the lost treasure of King Aenys the Flatulent
Heronius: Let's go there!
Igfig: That's right!
Igfig: Heh, I totally forgot that name
Black_Dynamite: ONWARDS
Heronius: If the treasure turns out to be true friendship or some bullshit I will destroy this entire planet.
Torin_Drotho: I only remembered because I made it up
Heronius: I swear
Thorn_the_Gnoll: I'm hoping it isn't a golden toilet seat.
Igfig: Every name on this planet was made up on the spur of the moment
Torin_Drotho: Saddle up!
Sanguine: Time to get out my coconuts...
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Thorn steps on to the shuttle.
Igfig: Saddle!  Heh, that's a good one.
Black_Dynamite: Black Dynamite punches the concept of gravity and floats
Heronius: We arrive at what we believe is the center of the city.
Igfig: I think punching gravity would be more of a double-jump thing
Igfig: Indeed you do
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Is there some grandiose building here or a giant hole?
Milo_Magnus: I'll check 
Milo_Magnus: 1d20+7 perception
Fortuna: Milo_Magnus, perception: [20] = 27
Milo_Magnus: oooooooo
Igfig: There are, in fact, buildings.
Black_Dynamite: WOW
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Well, whatever it is you can see the hell out of it.
Igfig: Very nice ones.
Igfig: Big ones.
Igfig: A palace.
Heronius: They are made of stone and stuff
Black_Dynamite: Milo saw those buildings so hard.
Torin_Drotho: Palace? Sounds like Treasure to me.
Igfig: Oh, but what wonderful Stuff it is!
Thorn_the_Gnoll: He can see them so hard he can describe the little engravings perfectly, including the little bit of graffiti about some guy named John and how he "suxors the dicks" carved in a dark corner.
Milo_Magnus:  you guys
Milo_Magnus: it's beautiful
Milo_Magnus: we need to head to that palace
Milo_Magnus: there's a sign on the wall that says For A Good Time, Ring the Klaxxon for Jenni
Slim_Bankshot: Guys, I'm taking over. Give me one sec, OK?
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Certainly.
Slim_Bankshot: So, which one of you guys got the super boss perception check?
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Milo.
Slim_Bankshot: OK
Milo_Magnus: I percieve the hell out of things
Slim_Bankshot: Well, he saw most of what there is to see. Many buildings, most have not aged well. 
Lakanu: They were all built in the 1960s
Lakanu: So they look like shit
Slim_Bankshot: They have fallen into disrepair and a great many look unsafe to enter
Black_Dynamite: If I punch them will they fall over?
Sanguine: oh god
Sanguine: ...the terror
Slim_Bankshot: The palace-like building, once surely a beautiful sight, is gradually being reclaimed by the forest
Slim_Bankshot: Debris and overgrowth block some streets.
Slim_Bankshot: Where will you explore first?
Lakanu: Palace
Lakanu: Cut to the chase
Black_Dynamite: Well first, I'm going to punch some buildings
Black_Dynamite: 5#1d20+5
Fortuna: Black_Dynamite, 1d20+5: [1] = 6; 1d20+5: [7] = 12; 1d20+5: [19] = 24; 1d20+5: [17] = 22; 1d20+5: [18] = 23
Black_Dynamite: 3 fall over
Sanguine: what'd I say?
Slim_Bankshot: Do 3 reflex saves
Torin_Drotho: BD is determined to have one of the DMs kill him
Milo_Magnus: BD stop punching things so we can go to the palace
Black_Dynamite: Is there even such a thing as a reflex save?
Slim_Bankshot: Dangit what is that thing called in 4e?
Igfig: There is in Slim's games.  Roll 1d20+(your Reflex score -10)
Thorn_the_Gnoll: There is Reflex as a defense.
Heronius: the buildings make an attack
Heronius: vs BDs ref
Black_Dynamite: A wild building appears!
Sanguine: O.o
Igfig: Honestly, I like the idea of making Reflex saves.  It feels more natural against, say, traps.
Heronius: true enough
Black_Dynamite: It uses fall!
Black_Dynamite: So what roll do I use then?
Heronius: but the concept is the same to me
Sanguine: Is it super effective?
Slim_Bankshot: A reflex save is d20 + dex
Black_Dynamite: Ah
Black_Dynamite: A WILD BUILDING APPEARS
Black_Dynamite: IT USES FALL
Igfig: Actually, Slim, that would be a Dex check
Slim_Bankshot: BD uses punch!
Igfig: which is rather different
Black_Dynamite: 3#1d20+5
Fortuna: Black_Dynamite, 1d20+5: [18] = 23; 1d20+5: [12] = 17; 1d20+5: [9] = 14
Slim_Bankshot: It's super effective!
Black_Dynamite: IT'S SUPER EFFECTIVE
Slim_Bankshot: OK, fine
Black_Dynamite: That is a dex check
Slim_Bankshot: You dodge all the buildings
Black_Dynamite: It's not very effective...
Milo_Magnus: 9/11 the revenge has failed
Fortuna: Milo_Magnus, the revenge has failed: [] = 0
Milo_Magnus: no it was a joke, Fortuna
Slim_Bankshot: The first one you doge with a power slide, the second with a roll, and the third with the fetal position
Milo_Magnus: you're alright though
Black_Dynamite: "Let's move on to the palace you honkies."
Milo_Magnus: yes
Slim_Bankshot: So, palace?
Igfig: Also I really need to fix Fortuna's math functions
Thorn_the_Gnoll sneezes from collapsed building dust, and then heads in.
Heronius: We are in the palace now.
Slim_Bankshot: Slow down guys
Slim_Bankshot: You approach the large doors, and find a sign on hte shut front door
Slim_Bankshot: In a foreign language
Heronius: "
Heronius: "Closed"
Slim_Bankshot: Not unlike other strage languages you have seen on this planet
Black_Dynamite: 1d20+2 history to attempt to understand it
Fortuna: Black_Dynamite, history to attempt to understand it: [14] = 16
Torin_Drotho: Is it Dwarven? I can read Dwarven
Thorn_the_Gnoll: I suppose we could try the languages we know how to speak/read, does it look like abyssal?
Lakanu: If it's deep speech or goblin, kaching
Heronius: I have primordial
Slim_Bankshot: (If I take a while to respond, I am asking ig things. Just give me a sec)
Heronius: to talk to elementals
Slim_Bankshot: With your combined knowledge of dialects, you are able to understand most of what it says.
Slim_Bankshot: It seems to be a strange blend of languages
Black_Dynamite: By our combined knowledge we are CAPTAIN ALIEN READER
Slim_Bankshot: "rock things made bad, build closed till all better much is"
Torin_Drotho: Ah, so golems then.
Slim_Bankshot: Clearly
Black_Dynamite: "Sounds like there's some jive rock turkey causing trouble."
Slim_Bankshot: (Note: In about 15 minutes, i'm gonna take a short break for some fresh air. My head is starting to hurt again)
Slim_Bankshot: So, yes. It seems closed.
Heronius: Open the door,
Torin_Drotho: Let's bust it open
Slim_Bankshot: But the door seems to lack a latch or keyhole
Milo_Magnus: this looks like a job for black dynamite
Torin_Drotho knocks politely
Black_Dynamite: 1d20+8 to punch door
Fortuna: Black_Dynamite, to punch door: [5] = 13
Black_Dynamite: :(
Slim_Bankshot: Torin hears a hollow clanking as the door shudders slightly. It seems more gatelike, upon closer inspection.
Lakanu: Like a portcullis?
Slim_Bankshot: BD gives it a fairly lackluster punch, not destroying, but clearly weakening it
Slim_Bankshot: Think.. More like those things they have in malls for when they close for the night
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Oh, those shutter things.
Sanguine: Speak friend and enter?
Black_Dynamite: "Melon"
Sanguine: :)
Torin_Drotho: How strong is the metal it's made of?
Black_Dynamite: I'LL PUNCH IT AGAIN THEN
Black_Dynamite: 1d20+8
Fortuna: Black_Dynamite, 1d20+8: [1] = 9
Black_Dynamite: I punch myself
Slim_Bankshot: Not very, as far as you can tell
Torin_Drotho: Melee basic, I'll cry and cleave through the bars with my khopesh
Heronius: I grab one side and slide it over.
Torin_Drotho: 1d20+10
Fortuna: Torin_Drotho, 1d20+10: [1] = 11
Black_Dynamite: Uh oh
Torin_Drotho: so many ones
Black_Dynamite: Fortuna's source of power must be on the other side
Heronius: I give it a little tug on each side
Black_Dynamite: 1d20+8 perception for a way to open it
Fortuna: Black_Dynamite, perception for a way to open it: [5] = 13
Lakanu: I just try to life it?
Lakanu: lift it
Sanguine watches impassivly
Black_Dynamite: Crap. We don't have jacques anymore. He could go under in ash form
Slim_Bankshot: str check
Lakanu: Who is strongest?
Lakanu: 1d20+2
Fortuna: Lakanu, 1d20+2: [11] = 13
Igfig: You could probably cooperate, too
Torin_Drotho: I have 18, I'll help out
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Nah we'll help you out.
Torin_Drotho: 1d20+4
Fortuna: Torin_Drotho, 1d20+4: [8] = 12
Black_Dynamite: 1d20+5 assist
Fortuna: Black_Dynamite, assist: [15] = 20
Black_Dynamite: I HAVE THE BEST ROLL. I WIN
Thorn_the_Gnoll: 1d20 Assist
Fortuna: Thorn_the_Gnoll, Assist: [4] = 4
Aryanni get's cheated of the rest of my name
Slim_Bankshot: Together, you start to lift the gate
Black_Dynamite: It's /nick Aryanni_whateveritis
Slim_Bankshot: Your strength rips it clean off and you see another door. This one with a sign and a handle
Aryanni_Sanguine: 1d20+2 assist
Fortuna: Aryanni_Sanguine, assist: [11] = 13
Heronius: "Barvo, Give them a hand"
Black_Dynamite: What does the sign say
Heronius: "Barvo do."
Aryanni_Sanguine: oops, little late there
Heronius: 1d20+5 barvo str
Fortuna: Heronius, barvo str: [6] = 11
Slim_Bankshot: The sign is also foreign, but makes it clear that it is a name and 'welcome' (or something like it)
Heronius: nope
Torin_Drotho: We got it Barvo
Heronius: Barvo hangs his head and wanders off
Milo_Magnus: should someone go comfort him?
Lakanu: we let everyone under, and then drop the gat to the floor, with a loud bang
Heronius: He plays with some rocks by crushing them.
Slim_Bankshot: You ripped it clean off, guys
Torin_Drotho: Awesome
Torin_Drotho: So now this next door?
Torin_Drotho knocks politely
Slim_Bankshot: This door shings open slowly, creaking on rusty hinges
Aryanni_Sanguine: what a polite door!
Torin_Drotho: Cool. Let's go!
Torin_Drotho: I'll tie my horse to something just inside
Black_Dynamite: Such a polite shinger
Black_Dynamite: "So. Guys. How bout them punchers?"
Slim_Bankshot: The hallway isn't very long, and as far as you can tell, opens into a small room
Torin_Drotho: Do we have a map for it?
Slim_Bankshot: But in hte darkness something seems to be obstructing your vision somewhat
Torin_Drotho: Or do we just blindly go in?
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Some of us have low-light vision.
Black_Dynamite: My everlasting torch is lit up
Black_Dynamite: WHAT DO WE SEE
Black_Dynamite: 1d20+8 just incase it's not enough
Fortuna: Black_Dynamite, just incase it's not enough: [14] = 22
Slim_Bankshot: In the darkness you see what seems to be large quanties of an almost wool-like substance stretched across the hallway
Lakanu: SPIDERS
Aryanni_Sanguine: aw shit!
Torin_Drotho: I'm not leaving my horse alone in here on second thought
Torin_Drotho: she's coming with us
Slim_Bankshot: And dispite your torces light, the walls beyond it seem totally black
Slim_Bankshot: *torches
Milo_Magnus: i shoot an arrow at the wool
Black_Dynamite: I'll through a sun rod down there
Igfig: You've left some people back on the ship, I'm sure they can take care of your horse
Heronius: Scorching burst.
Heronius: On the darkness
Lakanu: It will be delicious
Black_Dynamite: Nevermind. Hero has it covers
Lakanu: I mean well taken care of
Slim_Bankshot: Guys, I am going to break for a few to get some fresh air
Igfig: Shall I take back over, or we all take a break?
Slim_Bankshot: Either take 5 yourselves or have ig take over
Black_Dynamite: Ig take over.
Lakanu: ditto
Igfig: Okay
Torin_Drotho: Doesn't matter to me, Raiders are on so I can go for either
Aryanni_Sanguine: kinda diggin the five idea
Igfig: We've got two votes for over, one for five, one abstention
Igfig: Anyone else?
Torin_Drotho: I'll vote for five
Heronius: no cares
Igfig: Two and two and two
Igfig: One more?
dreyrugr_nott: I am a completely new person and ig should take over
Aryanni_Sanguine: riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight...............
Torin_Drotho: you shut your scaly whore mouth
Aryanni_Sanguine: noy believin it bro
Black_Dynamite: 1d20+1 bluff
Fortuna: Black_Dynamite, bluff: [15] = 16
Igfig: Well, I'm in the not care camp
Igfig: so it looks like the Not Cares have it!
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Sweet.
Aryanni_Sanguine: 1d20+1 sees through the bluff
Fortuna: Aryanni_Sanguine, sees through the bluff: [16] = 17
Aryanni_Sanguine: whoops, wrongn sorry
Igfig: I could actually do with a break myself, though.  I will take two and a half.
Aryanni_Sanguine: brb folkses
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Me and my bud will be back in a bit, bit of fresh air then.
Aryanni_Sanguine: fresh air being debateaable, i need to smoke..cough, cough
Igfig: Okay, back
Milo_Magnus: sup
Heronius: back
Igfig: Cheese.
Black_Dynamite: Shame. I was about to sing bohemium rhapsodey
Torin_Drotho: didn't go anywhere
Igfig: Scorching Burst on the darkness, eh?
Heronius: So it would seem.
Igfig: Well, you burn the webs pretty easily.
Heronius: good.
Igfig: The wall behind remains black, though.  You think that's its actual colour
Torin_Drotho: suck it, spiders
Milo_Magnus: i shot an arrow too
Milo_Magnus: just so everyone knows
Lakanu: Hero, cast light on an arrow, then shoot it down
Igfig: Ah
Lakanu: we'll see the whole corridor
Igfig: Well, it is, as Slim said, a shortish corridor
Torin_Drotho: Any doors?
Lakanu: Then don't do anything I just said
Igfig: like forty feet long maybe
Igfig: Nope, but it opens up into a small room at the end
Lakanu: Let's go there
Heronius: proceed to small room
Torin_Drotho: Yes
Igfig: maybe 20x20, roof supported by four pillars
Black_Dynamite: I will follow 
Milo_Magnus: i follow
Thorn_the_Gnoll: And we're back.
Torin_Drotho: so still an entrance hall?
Heronius: I am not in the front
Torin_Drotho: I am
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Before going anywhere I look up.
Aryanni_Sanguine: what is up
Heronius: A mouth
Lakanu: Spiders
Black_Dynamite: The tardis
Lakanu: A spider's mouth
Aryanni_Sanguine: noooooooooo...not SPIDERS!!!!
Igfig: Wait, I'm trying to figure out what would be in here
Black_Dynamite: BEEEEEEEEEES
Black_Dynamite: THERE ARE BEES
Aryanni_Sanguine hides in corner
Igfig: I have a map, but I don't know what some of the things on it are
Slim_Bankshot: Sorry for the delay
Aryanni_Sanguine: hi Fortuna
Fortuna: Hello.
Slim_Bankshot: Anyway,
Slim_Bankshot: You burned the webs
Thorn_the_Gnoll: And I looked up.
Slim_Bankshot: Down the hall is a smallish room with 4 pillars
Black_Dynamite: And saw spider-bees
Aryanni_Sanguine: and i hid
Slim_Bankshot: THe ceiling is surprisingly high. There are (lots of) webs, yes, but nothing is moving.
Slim_Bankshot: Just a black ceiling
Slim_Bankshot: Actually the only part that isn't black is hte floor
Slim_Bankshot: *the
Milo_Magnus: shoot arrows
Black_Dynamite: Wait
Torin_Drotho: We won't see them right now, they're hiding
Black_Dynamite: I touch the wall
Black_Dynamite: Is there anything odd about it?
Torin_Drotho: We have to continue, so that they'll come down and try to sneak up on us Shelob-style, then we murder them
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Or we could ambush them!
Slim_Bankshot: As soon as you touch the wall, there is a loud rushing. Like a wave, as billions of tiny legs carry billions of tiny spiders farther into the building. Leaving the walls a blank stone like the floor
Thorn_the_Gnoll: I vote for climbing up after them.
Black_Dynamite: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
Lakanu: EEEWWWWWWW
Thorn_the_Gnoll stares in shock.
Slim_Bankshot: A few of them crawl onto you instead
Aryanni_Sanguine hides more
Black_Dynamite: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
Black_Dynamite: PUNCH THEM
Black_Dynamite: PUNCH THEM ALL
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Who did they crawl on?
Black_Dynamite: 1d20+8 to punch them all
Fortuna: Black_Dynamite, to punch them all: [2] = 10
Heronius: There is definitely come good treasure in here.
Milo_Magnus: i shoot dynamite with arrows
Milo_Magnus: 1d20+6
Fortuna: Milo_Magnus, 1d20+6: [15] = 21
Black_Dynamite: :(
Torin_Drotho chases after the swarm
Lakanu: I stare blankly, failing to understand the problem (the joys of being inorganic)
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Wait, Milo shot at BD.
Slim_Bankshot: I think it was a hit
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Doesn't that mean I get to eat him now?
Black_Dynamite: Yeah
Black_Dynamite: And I was pretty low on HP
Black_Dynamite: So I'm unconcious
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Didn't you use your healing surges during that short rest?
Black_Dynamite: and covered in spiders
Aryanni_Sanguine: Again? SHOOT!
Black_Dynamite: I used one
Slim_Bankshot: The arrow is embedded in your fro'
Black_Dynamite: MY FRO
Black_Dynamite: NOOOOOOOOOO
Black_Dynamite: KILL ME NOW
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Which one?  He has that new one on his fist now.
Aryanni_Sanguine: not the poor fro!
Milo_Magnus: i covered it in spider repellent relax
Slim_Bankshot: The one on his head
Slim_Bankshot: ... So.
Slim_Bankshot: Now that the walls are 'clean'
Torin_Drotho: I chase after the swarm of spiders, what do I find
Aryanni_Sanguine: more spiders? bigger ones?
Aryanni_Sanguine: if so i'm hiding...again...
Black_Dynamite: They combined to form one giant spider
Slim_Bankshot: You see that, to your left, there is an indentation. To your left there is a small utility closet looking doors
Torin_Drotho: indentation?
Black_Dynamite: TO BOT MY LEFTS?
Black_Dynamite: OH NO
Slim_Bankshot: The spiders are too fast. And leave you standing partway down a hallway
Slim_Bankshot: I meant the closet is on your right
Slim_Bankshot: Sorry
Lakanu: What's that indentation about?
Torin_Drotho: it's the bellybutton of a giant spide
Black_Dynamite: I open the closet
Slim_Bankshot: It was obviously intentional.
Slim_Bankshot: And you cna seen the edges of what must have been a very large poster as it was crudly ripped from its place
Slim_Bankshot: *can
Milo_Magnus: I try and open the closet
Milo_Magnus: 1d20+11
Fortuna: Milo_Magnus, 1d20+11: [18] = 29
Black_Dynamite: I already opened it
Slim_Bankshot: Oh. You did?
Black_Dynamite: Yes
Black_Dynamite: 21:15	Black_Dynamite	I open the closet 21:15	Slim_Bankshot	It was obviously intentional.
Slim_Bankshot: Inside it is dark.
Lakanu: More spiders
Slim_Bankshot: But hte walls are not black.
Lakanu: Invisible spiders
Black_Dynamite: I have a torch lit
Slim_Bankshot: Something seems stuck to the far wall
Black_Dynamite: 1d20+8 to see what it is
Fortuna: Black_Dynamite, to see what it is: [11] = 19
Black_Dynamite: I get closer if needed
Lakanu: 1d20+13 to...yeah
Fortuna: Lakanu, to...yeah: [8] = 21
Slim_Bankshot: It is a large, unmoving shape. Seemingly attached to the wall
Slim_Bankshot: Lakanu
Torin_Drotho: robo-spider
Black_Dynamite: PUNCH IT
Lakanu: I prod it with my spear
Black_Dynamite: 1d20+5
Fortuna: Black_Dynamite, 1d20+5: [1] = 6
Slim_Bankshot: Can tell that webbing attaches it to the wall
Black_Dynamite: Oh nooooo
Black_Dynamite: Uh oh
Torin_Drotho: oh wait, the sign said stone things
Slim_Bankshot: And that the shape inside is humanoid
Torin_Drotho: These are stone spider golems thingies
Torin_Drotho: driven by tinier stone golem people
Black_Dynamite: stone golem spiders*
Lakanu: I say "Hello?" in deep speech
Slim_Bankshot: No response
Black_Dynamite: I say hello in jive
Slim_Bankshot: No response
Black_Dynamite: I PUNCH IT AGAIN
Black_Dynamite: 1d20+8
Fortuna: Black_Dynamite, 1d20+8: [13] = 21
Torin_Drotho: I'll stand guard by the door
Slim_Bankshot: Your hand goes clean through it, colliding with the wall behind it
Black_Dynamite: SPIDER GHOSTS
Milo_Magnus: noooo
Lakanu: OH FUCK
Slim_Bankshot: The web acted as a sealent, holding in whatever moisture wasn't sucked out of it
Lakanu: COCOONED BODY
Black_Dynamite: I punched an egg didn't I
Torin_Drotho: ewww
Slim_Bankshot: Your hand is covered with a decaying mess of organs
Lakanu: No, it was a corpse
Lakanu: that the spiders caught
Black_Dynamite: Oh gosh what
Slim_Bankshot: And it stinks
Thorn_the_Gnoll: "I'm not eating that."
Black_Dynamite: I PUNCH THE CONCEPT OF STINK
Black_Dynamite: 1d20+8
Fortuna: Black_Dynamite, 1d20+8: [18] = 26
Black_Dynamite: NOTHING STINKS EVER AGAIN
Torin_Drotho: "I've had worse."
Lakanu: "I think it's dead, it's not...what's that thing you do...breathing?"
Milo_Magnus: it's certainly not moving
Milo_Magnus: I should shoot it with an arrow
Slim_Bankshot: The smell of the rotting corpse rapidly dessipates at BDs mighty punch
Aryanni_Sanguine: and a concept took a thorough beating...bravo
Lakanu: Anything notable on the body?
Black_Dynamite: Anyway. What else can we see?
Black_Dynamite: What do I see when I look up
Lakanu: And what was the deal with that indentation?
Slim_Bankshot: Again, no5thig but web, really
Black_Dynamite: "This place is boring"
Slim_Bankshot: The indentainon obviously once housed a poster of some sort
Slim_Bankshot: But it was torn from the wall
Lakanu: Odd
Slim_Bankshot: Well, you're still in hte first room
Slim_Bankshot: *the
Lakanu: Go to the next room, I guess
Heronius: where is the second room
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Through the door the spiders ran off through I guess.
Slim_Bankshot: Who chased the spiders?
Torin_Drotho: Me
Black_Dynamite: Torin has become a spider
Slim_Bankshot: Torien is in a very short hallway which connects to a spiral staircase leading down
Torin_Drotho: Anything else of interest in here?
Slim_Bankshot: Nope.
Lakanu: Down the stairs
Slim_Bankshot: It looks like it was just an entryway
Heronius: we take the- yeah
Black_Dynamite: Well, I'm gonna go find torin
Black_Dynamite: And go down the stairs
Slim_Bankshot: He's right there
Torin_Drotho waves
Aryanni_Sanguine: folliwin BD
Torin_Drotho: Yeah, I head down the stairs
Slim_Bankshot: Down the stairs is another small room.
Black_Dynamite: WITH SPIDERS?
Torin_Drotho: what is in THIS room?
Slim_Bankshot: Webs abound. And there are 4 more pillars in close proximity near the middle of the room
Lakanu: Walls?
Slim_Bankshot: There is a longis hallway directly ahead,
Slim_Bankshot: *longish
Aryanni_Sanguine: to the hallway i go
Slim_Bankshot: God I cannot spell tonight....
Torin_Drotho: Are there any spiders/treasure?
Slim_Bankshot: The walls are empty.
Torin_Drotho: next room
Slim_Bankshot: There is one poster on the wall
Thorn_the_Gnoll: I suppose we're following him.
Black_Dynamite: LOOK AT THE POSTER
Torin_Drotho: Wait, what's the poster
Lakanu: I look the shit out of that poster
Aryanni_Sanguine: wandering back from the hallway to see the poster
Slim_Bankshot: THe poster has a picture of a man grabbing another mans hand as if to shake it
Slim_Bankshot: There is a circle around the picture
Black_Dynamite: PUNCH THE CIRCLE
Black_Dynamite: 1d20+8
Fortuna: Black_Dynamite, 1d20+8: [18] = 26
Slim_Bankshot: Under it is a picture of a man grabbing another mans crotch. There is an X over this picture
Aryanni_Sanguine: aaaaakward...
Lakanu: Are we in some sort of anti-gay palace?
Black_Dynamite: I will punch that crotch so hard
Black_Dynamite: 1d20+8
Fortuna: Black_Dynamite, 1d20+8: [3] = 11
Torin_Drotho: punch the crotch, BD
Black_Dynamite: Crap
Slim_Bankshot: You don't punch it very hard
Black_Dynamite: My crotch punching skills are subpar
Igfig: Okay, I have to go now.  Night all!
Black_Dynamite: I punched the circle pretty hard
Igfig quit.
Black_Dynamite: What about that
Slim_Bankshot: You dented the wall
Torin_Drotho: Okay, crotch doesn't want to be punched. Moving on, next room
Black_Dynamite: YEAH
Slim_Bankshot: So, since igfig is gone
Slim_Bankshot: How long do you want to keep going?
Slim_Bankshot: I'm fine to keep it up
Slim_Bankshot: I'm good at keeping it up
Slim_Bankshot: Heyyyy-oooooo
Torin_Drotho: wah wah
Torin_Drotho: I want to kill at least one spider
Torin_Drotho: so let's keep moving on
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Yar.
Lakanu: Onwards!
Slim_Bankshot: OK.
Aryanni_Sanguine: back to the hallway
Aryanni_Sanguine: yay!
Slim_Bankshot: Down this hallway, past more web, you arrive in another, larger room
Aryanni_Sanguine: Ooooooh, what's here?
Slim_Bankshot: And since I have NO idea how to describe it, it looks like this: http://gyazo.com/4c0c1d1e9072772248e6d785eeca6281.png
Slim_Bankshot: You came out the upper hallway
Thorn_the_Gnoll: That is an interestingly shaped room.
Slim_Bankshot: I know, right?
Aryanni_Sanguine: I wanna know what the circle is.
Heronius: I have to sleep
Torin_Drotho: let's throw it on the map, where are we?
Heronius: I will see everyone next week.
Slim_Bankshot: Bye hero
Torin_Drotho: Bye hero
Slim_Bankshot: You just came out that upper narrow hallway
Slim_Bankshot: Point of interest
Slim_Bankshot: All around this room are hanging cuccoons
Lakanu: Oh dear
Black_Dynamite: Shall I punch them?
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Slash and burn?
Slim_Bankshot: Go for it
Black_Dynamite: 1d20+8 TO PUNCH THEM ALL
Fortuna: Black_Dynamite, TO PUNCH THEM ALL: [2] = 10
Black_Dynamite: I fail to punch them all
Slim_Bankshot: Also, who is farthest in the room?
Black_Dynamite: Well I'd assume I am
Black_Dynamite: Since I'm punching cuccoons
Aryanni_Sanguine: I'm up at the stoney circle thingy
Slim_Bankshot: Is there such a thing as a perception check in 4e?
Black_Dynamite: Yes
Black_Dynamite: 1d20+8
Fortuna: Black_Dynamite, 1d20+8: [2] = 10
Slim_Bankshot: Preform one
Black_Dynamite: OH COME ON FORTUNA
Slim_Bankshot: You find, near your foot, a shead section of spider leg
Black_Dynamite: Is it sharp. Can I poke things with it?
Slim_Bankshot: Easily as thick as your arm
Lakanu: How big is it?
Lakanu: ah
Slim_Bankshot: It is very fragile
Aryanni_Sanguine: I'm not liking this direction of events
Black_Dynamite: Look up slowly to escalating music
Lakanu: And that's how big it USED to be
Slim_Bankshot: I mean, shead skin is fragile.
Slim_Bankshot: OK
Torin_Drotho: Not liking this one bit
Slim_Bankshot: Person at hte circl
Slim_Bankshot: e
Torin_Drotho: also that thing is on the map now
Slim_Bankshot: perception check
Aryanni_Sanguine: 1d20+1 to hopefully see the terror
Fortuna: Aryanni_Sanguine, to hopefully see the terror: [13] = 14
Lakanu: 1d20+13 just 'cause
Fortuna: Lakanu, just 'cause: [15] = 28
Slim_Bankshot: Aryanni thinks they hear something, but are unsure
Torin_Drotho: pull out my khopesh
Slim_Bankshot: Lakanu, now very nervous, looks up
Aryanni_Sanguine unsheathes my greatsword
