Start of #fazedcampaign buffer: Sun Dec 16 21:58:32 2007 * Now talking in #fazedcampaign * dicebot has joined #fazedcampaign * Retrieving #fazedcampaign modes... * Celdia sets mode: +o dicebot * Modren has joined #fazedcampaign hola <12Celdia> Heyla first player here gets bonus XP correct? <12Celdia> Hmm...I don't get final say in that but I'll bring it up with Chapel. I don't see why not though. :D sweet <12Celdia> I'm having the strangest technical problems. ? <12Celdia> Something is making my main computer think I'm holding the Shift key constantly. IRC or other? <12Celdia> Other best I can figure. Sticky keys blow <12Celdia> I've tried multiple keyboards, tried taking apart my main keyb, tried reinstalling drivers, reboots, virus scans...nothing helps. Is it "gummed" down ahh * Treladren has joined #fazedcampaign <12Celdia> Oddest part was, I was working on it all morning and I get up for 2 minutes to get a drink, come back and its fragged good morning everyone <12Celdia> And then there were 2. allow me to get into character *putting on my robe and wizard hat* can you play with the accessability options in the CP? sup Treladren <12Celdia> Nicely done, Tre. * Modren leaves room <12Celdia> I hadn't thought to poke around in there. I'll give it a go maybe after game. <12Celdia> I'm on the backup system in the house and all my notes are on my flash drive so it ports easy enough. thank you, thank you...I may be distracted for a few minutes, until the Eagles/Cowboys game is over...I don't get to see my Eagles on tv too often <12Celdia> That's fine. I'm eating and watching the LOTR trilogy on TNT. Its a nerdgasm day. <12Celdia> Boromir just got shot. nerdgasm...all right..giggity I did nerdfest last night.........2 days in a row.......hasn't happened in many many years groo and axis and allies i try to have nerdfests...but the old lady and the kid, they don't care for it....I need a new family. <12Celdia> Bugger to that I turned my wife into a nerd for a couple years......now she has sworn it off for the most part. I'm only joking...I already divorced her once for calling Star Wars stupid. nice i sure showed her. <12Celdia> Damn skippy. So how much of yer nerd stuff did she get in the settlement? hey, Cel...that handbook wouldn't open, compy said file was corrupted. <12Celdia> I dont think you got all of it before teh end of session. i didn't have a lot of nerd stuff left, we had to sell most of it before we divorced to pay bills and shit i say we, but it was my stuff...."we" decided to sell it <12Celdia> Pity how that works, eh? it sucks, but it is just stuff. <12Celdia> My wife couldnt get me to let go of my gaming stuff and when she realized I liked all of it more than her, she took the kid and left. it's not like it was going to make me rich. yes "stuff" can always be rplaces replaced indeed...I don't really miss it much... so, any word from the rest of the crew? <12Celdia> I'm told Waylon won't be here, optherwise no word. 10-4 so we get to eat the sorcy this time? lol <12Celdia> :D <12Celdia> I laughed my ass off when I read that bit about becoming food for the rest of the party that was good...i was telling the old lady, and...nevermind. It's a rough party to be in I should have asked last time, but I didn't think about it.... are the PCs given an "adventurer's pack" filled with rope, rations, torches, etc.? or is that stuff we should buy? <12Celdia> Thats stuff you should buy. I ask, cuz I don't really know what all to buy. <12Celdia> Well you've got a few of the basics down right there <12Celdia> But it really comes down to looking at the list of gear in the equipment shop and figuring out how much you can afford, how much you can carry and what looks useful lets see here...I've got a bedroll, 3 days of rations, 50ft of rope, 4 torches, and a waterskin All of it is useful.........get it all.......oh and a mule you are going to need that lol <12Celdia> The problem with the mule is you gotta feed it. THe bonus is when you run outta feed you have more rations. yay! Animals tend to make parties "monster bait" as well........... <12Celdia> Hmm...15 past. Does anyone have a direct way of getting in touch with the other players? I'm not above running the game with only two present but I'd truly rather not have to. <12Celdia> Truth. And they are never tied to that tree when you come back out of the cave I do not have a way of getting in touch with them...I'll check fazed, see if theyre there. Most the people left fazed as their pref brb * Modren has quit IRC (Quit: 14« 14Ë×Çü®§îö14ñ14 14» 14Info14«14v9.514» 14Released14«14October 27, 200314») <12Celdia> roll 1d6 * dicebot --> "Celdia rolls 1d6 and gets 1." <12Celdia> Oh good its working. * Modren has joined #fazedcampaign * Sasquatch has joined #fazedcampaign evening sorry I am a bit late took me a bit to get the irc client working <12Celdia> S'alright. yo * Sasquatch is now known as Lackef howdy sas! evening <12Celdia> Lackef, you weren't here last week so I don't know if you've been appraised of how the technical bits are going to work in here yet or not. not really.. but I figured I would wing it <12Celdia> Alright. Only major thing is the @dicebot is our public dice roller. Player dice are public rolls. The activation is typing 'roll' followed by the number of and type of dice you need for a roll. Some examples- <12Celdia> roll 1d20 * dicebot --> "Celdia rolls 1d20 and gets 4." <12Celdia> roll 2d6 +2 * dicebot --> "Celdia rolls 2d6 +2 and gets 4." <12Celdia> There's a shit roll, eh? easy enough roll 1d20 * dicebot --> "Lackef rolls 1d20 and gets 16." roll 1d6 * dicebot --> "Lackef rolls 1d6 and gets 1." gort it roll 12d6 * dicebot --> "Treladren rolls 12d6 and gets 38." <12Celdia> Right so the nice and simple of something like attacking with a +3 to hit (from whatever bonuses) would be <12Celdia> roll 1d20 +3 * dicebot --> "Celdia rolls 1d20 +3 and gets 15." <12Celdia> And so on. <12Celdia> Its a nice little script once all the bugs get worked out of it should we pm you our spells for the day once we start? <12Celdia> *I* trust you to keep track of your own spellbooks. do you need/want a copy of character sheets? fair enough <12Celdia> I have copies of all your characters sheets, updated to Chapel's most recent copies. k * Modren has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer) * Modren has joined #fazedcampaign my bad.......installing a script and had an "issue" my bad.......installing a script and had an "issue" <12Celdia> Well, lets give Fortrez and Kamuzu another 5 minutes. If they're not here by half-past we'll get a move on and they can zombie along with Waylon until the players show up. if they show up. All agreed? sure sure sounds good to me i'm good with that wtf double type now? wtf double type now? <12Celdia> Got an echo, Mod? what, are you a stutterer? perhaps a stutter <12Celdia> Check yourAmber hair, blue eyes, fair skin, 5'2" <12Celdia> Ack not that I meant to install not that I meant to install <12Celdia> Dont mind that. goddamned paste ... * Lackef casts mordrien's dissapearing stutter in Mordren lol thanks man Thanks man <12Celdia> If anyone cares, that'll be the generic description of a few companions that will be running with you oh ffs Oh ffs <12Celdia> Spell Resistance! * Treladren smacks Modren upside the head to reset they are all 5'2 with blue eyes and amber hair? Clones! "danger will robinson. danger.. nice spell checker I have here huh hhhmmmm lol [6:28pm]« Treladren » "danger will robinson. danger.. I was typing that =-( lol one more try for this thing <12Celdia> Twins, actually. <12Celdia> But I suppose that spoils some of the surprise good thing I've got my robe and wizard hat dont worry about speeling... I can't type anyways I wont tell the rest of the party about it I promise <12Celdia> Is everyone familiar with the /me function of IRC? yup * Lackef is * Treladren is familiar * Lackef puts on Trelarden's robe and wizard hat that's ok...i'm no wizard anyways <12Celdia> Excellent. If its not too much trouble could you use that for your in-character actions? That way there won't be any misunderstandings on my side as to who's doing what meh neither am I * Treladren uses this for in-character actions just a Humble servant of Gaerdal Ironhand <12Celdia> If I'm reading my sheet right, we've got a Fighter and 2 clerics present? Could be worse. Alright, let us begin. As I recall you all ended last week bedding down in the Inn's common room? correct yp yp ok <==fighter * Celdia is now known as DMCeldia * Modren has quit IRC (Quit: 14« 14Ë×Çü®§îö14ñ14 14» 14Info14«14v9.514» 14Released14«14October 27, 200314») * Lackef is worth a half a Cleric * Modren has joined #fazedcampaign done You are awakened by heavy footfalls coming from the stairs leading into the common room. Standing on the bottom step is Tyrrel, garbed in half a suit of full-plate. Behind him and a step higher in an elf woman wearing robes bearing religious symbols and carrying the remainder of what you can only guess is Tyrrel's plate. The room is lit only by the pale grey light of dawn. welcome back * Treladren yawns * Treladren stretches, looks around for belongings * Modren stretches and eyes the pair "mornin'" * Treladren nods in acknowledgement to all present * Lackef wakes and bows to the pair Tyrrel nods to you all and speaks quietly, "Grab your things and meet us by the stables when you're ready. And do come quickly. We need to be off." He and the elf step quickly out the front door, the jingling of metal buckles accompanying their exit. "well met Travellers I am Lackef CLeric of Gaedral Ironhand" * Treladren rises, looks for piss-pot, gathers belongings * Treladren extends hand to Lackef. (sorry if we had met them before) * Modren starts gathering his things Lackef, since you were absent I'm going to just throw out the assumption that you've met everyone and joined on for the wagon-guard job. "Well met Lackef "morning, I'm Treladren...glad to meet you. * Lackef shakes hand * Lackef dresses quickly adjusting his chain shirt and affixing his weapons "Straight to business Tyrell is eh? I could use some eggs personally." * Treladren is ready for business "May we say a little prayer for the group before we leave?" (Anyone with ranks in Knowledge (relgion) can feel free to make a check to recognize the symbols on the elf's gear.) roll 1d20 +3 * dicebot --> "Modren rolls 1d20 +3 and gets 4." I will try.. what do I need to roll? two 1's in a row for me =-( you need a +19 modifier, lol roll 1d20 +2 * dicebot --> "Lackef rolls 1d20 +2 and gets 2." I'll buy one at the next stop dicebot SUCKS roll 1d20 +2 * dicebot --> "Lackef rolls 1d20 +2 and gets 5." hmmm i think you'll have to add the modifiers outside of the rolls is higher or lower better on skill checks? Higher for everythin ok... * Fortrez has joined #fazedcampaign roll 1d20 * dicebot --> "Lackef rolls 1d20 and gets 5." ok so I guess that would be a 7 then * Treladren nods at Fortrez so no more +'s in the script command right? * Fortrez waves Another elf, looking terribly similar to the woman (but this is a man you *think*) comes down the stairs not but a minute later, this one garbed only in thin robes with no particular markings on them. He smiles genially at Modren as he passes through the room and speaks softly, "The innkeep has supplied us with some food to break our fast with. We eat on the road though. Come along, eh?" roll 1d1+4 * dicebot --> "DMCeldia rolls 1d1+4 and gets 5." roll 1d1 +1 * dicebot --> "DMCeldia rolls 1d1 +1 and gets 1." No space on that. Wellmet Fotrez roll 1d20+3 * dicebot --> "Modren rolls 1d20+3 and gets 18." gotcha roll 1d20+2 * dicebot --> "Lackef rolls 1d20+2 and gets 20." "Eh wotz goin on boyz?" Fortrez, welcome to the game. You've missed little so dive right in. that works "Better get packed there Fortrez, were movin out shortly" (Religion checks over 15 recognize the holy symbols of Corellion Lotharien (or however the hell its spelt, Matron Goddess of Elves)) * Fortrez has quit IRC (Quit: ) * Treladren is anxious, like a prize-fighter right before the bell rings * Modren prays quietly to Gilgamesh as he makes his way towards the door * Lackef says his prayer to Gaerdal to protect the group * Lackef is suited up and ready * Treladren wonders why Fortrez is mumbling about brains??? (Assumuing you all grab your gear and move out) As you round the doorway into the stables you come upon Tyrrel helping the priestess into a suit of breastplate armor, he himself now fully suited up in his full plate. The male elf is checking the harnesses on the horses hitched up to the wagons. Tyrrel looks displeased about something and he ties off the last binding on the woman's armor. "Is there something you need help with, Tyrrel? " Is there anything we can help you with Friend? Tyrrel speaks to you all, "Gentlemen, meet some of my crew. This is Krystal," he motions to the priestess, "and her brother, Lerris. Yes, there is. our fourth, a man by the name of Graff, is missing. I wish I could say that it comes as a surprise..." he sighs heavily. "Let that man near drink and he'll always go finding trouble." * Treladren nods to Krystal and Lerris * Treladren is not volunteering himself to look for Graff "Wellmet Krystal *bows* and Lerris. Perhaps we could go get Graff for you if you could tell us where to look? "Are we waiting for Graff then? Anyone looked for him yet?" The elves greet you all warmly, exchanging quick introductions before Tyrrel continues. "We'll need to find Graff before we set off. I doubt he's left the town itself, but if he's still got a coin to his name I'll be impressed. I'd like you all to see if you can find him with some haste. Lerris will go with you, since I haven't a picture of the man to send with you. Krystal and I will see to things here." * Treladren follows lerris "So what is the man's description?" * Modren follows " is there another Tavern in town besides the inn we stayed at, perhaps wityh his penchant for drink we might find him there" Lerris smiles, seemingly amused by this whole predicament and says simply, "We should check around some of the less tan reputable establishments. its where we usually find him." Lead the way Lerris, you are far more familiar with this town than I "So do we get extra coin for the babysitting?" Modrend laughs "Graff, he's a thin man, dark hair, dark eyes....not particulary tall, nor short. He makes a good everyman. Save for the scars. Those kind of mark him out in a crowd. Alas..." Lerris spreads his hands. "Indeed. Lets be off." He strolls out of the stables, as if without a care in the world. * Treladren smiles at Modren's remark, but it is hidden by my robe * Lackef shakes his head and sighs (Everyone, make Gather Information checks) roll 1d20+2 * dicebot --> "Modren rolls 1d20+2 and gets 11." i don't know what that is.... Just a Charisma check if you have no ranks. roll 1d20 * dicebot --> "Lackef rolls 1d20 and gets 13." nm...got it. roll 1d20 So 1d20 plus or minus any charisma bonus * dicebot --> "Treladren rolls 1d20 and gets 16." I'll get the hang of it eventually, :) don't feel bad 3.5 is new to me too I have a desk full of papers spread out in front of me for reference it's been years since i've played D&D, so little stuff like that I don't remember anymore...I'll get the hang of it, tho. Alright. You poke around town for a bit, asking a question here and there of people up early, opening their shops or running errands. Treladren chats up a young woman as she is opening the shutters on a bakery and hears that she saw a man by Graff's description being physically tossed out of the Black Bear Tavern at the south end of town the night before. * Treladren relays this information to the rest of the group "Sounds like a visit to the Black Bear Tavern might be in order" Lerris assures you all that this is a perfectly normal occurance and immeadately heads south. * Treladren can has doughnut? * Lackef follows Lerris The bakery won't have any goods available for at least another half hour. The girl tells you to check back then for the first bread of the day. * Modren hopes there will be breakfast * Modren groans * Lackef casts Duncan's wonderous dounut for trelarden * Treladren is disappointed, but nods his appreciation "Perhaps the Black Bear will have something for us" It takes you a good fifteen minutes to locate the Black Bear, currently locked up from closing the previous evening. A quick search around the building reveals a dark haired man wearing muddy, grey clothes slumped in the corner of an adjoining alleyway. Lerris pipes up, "Well, at least they left him his clothes." * Lackef goes to get a closer look at the man The man's face is pocked by numerous scars, and a fresh slice across his cheek that is still covered in dried blood. * Modren follows Lackef * Lackef casts cure light wounds on Graff roll 1d8 * dicebot --> "Lackef rolls 1d8 and gets 7." * Treladren stares in amazement at Lackef's "spell" "best hangover remedy that is" Modren smiles * Lackef offers Graff some water from his pack Don't forget the +1 for caster level on that. The wound on Graff's face seals up under the influence of the magic and some of the color returns to his face as he slowly comes around, muttering in a rough voice. "Agh...wurr..wurr'm I? Oh, hell... * Treladren tries shooting sparks out of his fingers Lerris grins down at the groggy Graff. "Did they leave you with anything at all this time? I don't see your armor, or your sword..." He begins to cast his gaze about theatrically. * Modren offers his arm to Graff to haul him to his feet Graff takes Modren's arm and lurches to his feet, wobbling some once he's upright. "Nae, they took it all this time...Tyrrel's gonna 'av my hide..." * Modren observes Graff......steay enough to walk DMCeldia? steady* Treladen's attempt to 'shoot sparks' is meet by small globes of light appearing at his fingertips and floating about harmlessly. (Spot and Listen checks) Yes, he appears steady enough to walk. roll 1d20+5 * dicebot --> "Modren rolls 1d20+5 and gets 8." spot roll 1d204 * dicebot --> "Modren rolls 1d204 and gets 37." roll 1d20+4 * dicebot --> "Modren rolls 1d20+4 and gets 19." listen I'll take that 37 though ;-) lol :) Tre? Lack? Your rolls? How did you do that Tre?! sorry...spot roll 1d20 * dicebot --> "Treladren rolls 1d20 and gets 14." listen roll 1d20 * dicebot --> "Treladren rolls 1d20 and gets 9." roll 1d20+4 * dicebot --> "Lackef rolls 1d20+4 and gets 7." for spot and roll1d20+6 roll 1d20+6 * dicebot --> "Lackef rolls 1d20+6 and gets 19." for listen "Trelarden, Please don't toast us with those fingers of yours" * Modren smils at Lackef knowingly "huh?" Lerris starts laughing quietly to himself before clapping a friendly arm across Graff's shoulders. "Let us go, men. I'm sure Tyrrel is going to be most cross about Graff as it is...us being any later than necessary will only complicate things." * Lackef gives modren a knowing wink "let's head out then" The town is getting busy with the rising of the sun. Did anyone want to stop for anything before getting back to the inn? "FOOD" Modren blurts "I could use some food...perhaps that bakery???" "only if you promise not to shoot things out of your fingers again" "I imagine our boy Graff here could use, something as well." "I wish I knew what you were talking about." " a bit of bread would do him well to soak the toxins out" * Treladren wiggles fingers at Lackef * Lackef ducks and chuckles The bakery is on the way and Lerris doesn't seem to mind a *quick* stop, adding that Graff looks like he could use some food before facing Tyrrel. You make your way to the bakery and the only thing that is available this early is fresh bread. They have a dark loaf for 3 coppers or a white loaf for 5 coppers. A single loaf could easily feed two men. * Treladren shakes head in wonder "HaHo" "lets get some bread...I'll spring for a loaf" * Lackef checks his pockets for coin * Modren orders a loaf of the dark * Treladren orders a loaf of the white * Lackef orders a loaf of the dark assuming he has any coin Moments later you exchange coins for bread. The dark bread has a sweetness to it you can't place, while the white is a savory herb bread of some kind. All in all, its quite good. * Modren eagerly begins eating the load loaf* woops lol I haven't got a clue about what coin you have left after equipment purchases. I'm assuming you have at least a few coppers on you. Lerris gets a loaf of dark and splits it with Graff, making sure to finish before returning to the Inn. * Lackef breaks his loaf in third and offers some to Lerris and Graff i haven't got a clue how much money i have after equipment purchases either.... * Lackef eats half of his loaf and carefull stores the rest in his pack realizing that lerris an Graff have their own * Treladren splits my loaf in half...makes a gesture to share "No thank you brother, I am full" * Treladren takes other half and puts in with my rations...eats You return to the inn and get to witness a very harsh dressing down of Graff by Tyrrel that involved just about every curse you know and a few you didn't, including one or two spoken in Goblin. Lerris is busy trying not to die of laughter while his sister (obviously his twin in this light) seems completely unamused by the whole proceeding. * Treladren shifts nervously * Modren occupies his time praying Tyrrel rummages inside one of the wagons and produces a dagger and a crossbow, thrusting them at Graff and telling him to go and "make yourself useful" before heading into the Inn to collect your beenfactors. Krystal takes a moment to talk to each of you quietly. * Lackef waits patiently his head bowed in prayer As she steps away from each of you, she speaks loudly enough to be heard, reciting "Corellion's blessing upon you this day." to each of you in turn. Sorry guys, afk a minute: Bio break. ....sounds good, gotta p...brb I may have to go into zombie mode for a bit, wife cooked a roast and I need to eat * Lackef is now known as zombieLackef I shall return Alright, I'm back. Can I get a 'here' from all present? here I use a capheter ;-) Eww... and poo pouch here ick Right-o. I haven't left my desk in weeks i've got the image of the WoW guy in South Park... hahaha yeah wrist brace on his mouse hand cheetos on his chest lol just like that.....except with a wizzy hat lol sounds like lACKEF IS AFK FOR A BIT Tyrrel returns with the two merchants in tow and a canvas sack he hands to Lerris. Erek and Race climb into a small passenger cabin on the forward wagon while Tyrrel climbs up onto the front bench, Krystal up there just behind him. Lerris distruibutes the contents of the pouch, fresh buttered rolls and some thick slices of good cheese, to everyone before climbing up beside Graff on the bench of the second wagon. "Anywhere particular we should be seated?" * Treladren thanks Lerris * Modren stows the good in his backpack with the other half loaf * Treladren puts food with my other rations Tyrrel speaks, "That's breakfast. We eat as we move. We're later than I wanted to leave as it is. You'll be walking alongside as we go I'm afraid, but it's not like we'll be travelling at a gallop anyways. You should be able to keep up. Let's move." He cracks the reins with a 'Yeee-ahh!' and the horses put their weight against the harnesses and roll out of the stables. * Treladren follows the crowd * Modren adjusts his pack for a long walk and follows "How far are we traveling?" You all are free to mkae discussion as you travel and if no one has any actions they feel a need to express, I can just move onto the next event I have planned. I have nothing........ DM, pm Krystal responds and pulls out what appears to be a small map as she speaks, "Well, this town is still about 2 days travel from the crossroads to Valorn." She shows you the map and points to a few marks on it. "We'll be heading west until we reach the crossroads then south to the port city. That's almost another two days past the crossing." * Treladren has nothing Noted. "Thanks Krystal." She nods and folds her map away. Near midday a banging comes from inside the front wagon and Tyrrel pulls the horses to a halt. Once at a stop, Race steps out of the cabin and announces its time to stop for lunch. Tyrrel and Krystal eat sitting up on the bench, pulling rations from a box underneath it. Erek never emerges from the cabin but Race climbs up onto the second wagon and begins discussing something animatedly with Lerris while he eats. * Modren asks Tyrrel if he can toss his pack in the wagon. Tyrrel: "I don't see why not. There should be some room. Go ahead and stow it." "Thanks" * Modren looks in for a suitable place for stowing his pack * Treladren prefers to carry his pack After some seeming agreements, Race hops down and addresses the entire wagon crew at once. "Ahm, it seems our dear friend Graff has come upon something of potential value afterall. I've been studying it all morning," he pauses to show around a small carving looking like a plant bulb sitting atop a square block, made entirely of black stone "and it appears to be a kind of magical compass. If I'm understanding it right, its pointing to something- -not far off our path. I'd like to go find out *what* exactly so we'll be making a detour when I feel we've gotten close enough to break off the main road for a bit. There's extra pay in it for you men, doubly so if it leads to what I'm hoping it does." **Knowledge Arcana roll? Sure. roll 1d20+2 * dicebot --> "Modren rolls 1d20+2 and gets 15." You get the impression that the object holds some kind of Divination magic, but without closer study you won't be able to tell what spell exactly. DMCeldia said "If I'm understanding it right, its poi" what's the rest of it? "Hmm is there anything in that direction on the map? How far of a detour do you think we are talking about?" Ah. It doesnt show me the cut off "-it right, its pointing to something" thanks "I'm willing to go along with that, Tyrrel" "err....Race" Race stares at Modren for a long moment, a bewildered look on his face before blinking as if struck by an epiphany. "Ah! Right, the map! Krystal, give it here!" He all but sprints to stand beside her while she shifts around her lunch and gets out the map. * Modren rolls his eyes and smiles Race studies the map for a long....*long* moment before handing it back up to Krystal with a quiet 'thank you' and smiles brightly at the group as a whole. "I haven't the foggiest!" He says with a disturbing amount of cheer, "but I'm quite certain its not too far out of the way. Well then, finish up your lunches yes? And we'll be on our way by your command Tyrrel, yes? Good." "It's your coin. I am in" * Treladren nods approvingly Tyrrel sighs heavily at Race's antics. "Trust me, gentlemen...the pay is always worth his insanity. Let's be on." * Modren nods and continues * Treladren acknowledges Tyrrel's notion * Modren moves up to where Krystal is seated There really isn't room for that, Modren. then I don't =-) As day trails on into evening, Tyrrel pulls the wagons off the road. "We'll make camp here." He turns his head back, "Graff! Set up the tent. Alone. You others, make yourself comfortable while Graff shows you why we don't drink to excess." he says with more than a hint of satisfaction. He gets down from the bench and Krystal follows, assisting him out of his armor. * Treladren makes myself comfortable, taking my pack off my back Graff struggles with the rather sizeable tent, fumbling poles and canvas sheets, collapsing the whole thing when neaqr completion more than once, muttering the entire time. * Treladren pretends to pay no attention to Graff * Modren goes off to the side to do stretch and do some excersice Lerris pokes around for a while before coming back with a small pile of stones and builds up a fire with some wood he pulls out of a chest attached to the side of one of the wagons. He rummages around in the front wagon and pulls out a small cauldron he sets over the fire and begins some kind of culinary work. * Treladren eats food given away by Lerris this morning * Treladren asks Lerris if there is anything I can do to help, after eating * Modren comes over to the fire after working out for a bit to claim his share of the meal Soon after the smell of a simple stew fills the air, Graff has an 8-man tent set up, Tyrrel has hobbled the horses with some stakes and the merchants are sitting near the fire. Tyrrel addresses the group. "We've got plenty of eyes here. I'd like you all to pair off and pick a watch for tonight. We'll go in five two-hour watches." "Modren, care to share a watch?" Lerris happily accepts any help with the cooking, even if it is only a simple something. (+2 bonus to the Craft (Cooking) check for the evening) "Works for me Treladren" "Early morning, before dawn, appeasable with you? "Ideal for me since I usually like to be awake before dawn" Tyrrel nods to you both and sets up a watch schedule with the others. The stew ends up being much better than anything else you've managed to get your hands on in the last few days. It would seem Lerris is a skilled cook and Modren's help certainly didn't hurt any. Tyrrel alerts you all that he'll be on first watch with Graff and that you'll be woken up for your watch in turn so to try to get some rest. There's room enough in the tent for everyone and the merchants bunk in the wagon. "we should probably beddown thn shortly? Anything else before you hit the sack? nadda * Treladren silently takes exception to Modren's credit for the meal...it should be mine... nothing for me...I'm full Sorry Tre. My mistake. i'm just being pissy The lines start to blur together atthe top of my screen np.. hhe no worries....you had me looking You sleep easily enough and are awakened by Krystal shaking your shoulder lightly, first Modren then Treladren, her armor only making the faintest noise in the tent. You notice Lerris getting himself ready to go back to sleep during your watch. She speaks almost too quietly to be heard, "Its best to watch from the wagon tops. Go on now." * Treladren wakes up, tries to get up quietly "Thanks" * Modren smiles to rystal ?me gathers his weapon and armor and moves outside * Modren gathers his weapon and armor and moves outside * Treladren does the same, trying to be quiet * Treladren climbs onto the wagon tops * Treladren surveys the surroundings as best as I can You manage to exit the tent without disturbing the others and getting onto the wagons is easy enough. Spot and Listen checks. * Modren moves to the wagon top and lays prone facing the opposite direction as Treladren spot roll 1d20 * dicebot --> "Treladren rolls 1d20 and gets 15." listen roll 1d20 * dicebot --> "Treladren rolls 1d20 and gets 15." roll 1d20+5 spot * dicebot --> "Modren rolls 1d20+5 spot and gets 23." roll 1d20+4 listen * dicebot --> "Modren rolls 1d20+4 listen and gets 10." adding the roll after works...sweet is very nice, yes I will think of a way to break it later I am sure ;-) Nearing the end of your watch, almost dawn-time, you (both) spot a figure coming down the road from the West (the direction you were heading in). Its smallish, humanoid and alone. * Treladren gets down from wagon, looks for a spot near the road to watch this spot should be more than 50 feet from the camp * Modren attempts to catch Treladren's eye.......... Treladren, Spot to notice Modren roll 1d20+1 * dicebot --> "Treladren rolls 1d20+1 and gets 3." roll 1d20+1 silent * dicebot --> "Treladren rolls 1d20+1 silent and gets 10." roll 1d20 spot modren * dicebot --> "Treladren rolls 1d20 spot modren and gets 8." * Modren stays atop the wagon Assuming the first was the Hide roll. As you move down off the wagon, the figure down the road stops where he is and drops onto his belly in the road. You don't notice Modren trying to get your attention. yes, sorry how close to the intruder am I? He was about 400' down the road you'd estimate. If you're moving to a spot 50' from the camp, he's that much farther away. I'll keep an eye on him from here...silently...like a ninja Is htis a road we are on? Is he headed directly towards us Do we have a fire going? roll hide? * dicebot --> "Treladren Dice Error: Invalid arguments in the attempted roll" You're just off the road, which is really more of a beaten dirt path through rolling grasslands. The fire you had burning earlier is banked down to coals only now. He would have been coming directly down the road in your direction, yes. Sure, roll Hide. Also, Spot again, both of you. roll 1d20+1 hide * dicebot --> "Treladren rolls 1d20+1 hide and gets 2." roll 1d20 spot * dicebot --> "Treladren rolls 1d20 spot and gets 5." roll 1d20+5 spot * dicebot --> "Modren rolls 1d20+5 spot and gets 17." roll 1d20+4 listen * dicebot --> "Modren rolls 1d20+4 listen and gets 15." Treladren seems to think that standing upright in wasit-high grass is a great hiding technique. :D The figure rolls sideways off the road and into the grass. Treladren loses sight of him but Modren you can see the grass moving where he is. Its still approaching, albeit, slowly. * Modren whispers I still see him......and he sees us lol * Modren whispes we should rouse the others.......he is hiding for a rason I would assume * Treladren whispers back, I can't see him... * Treladren moves back towards camp role for silent? If you like, go ahead roll 1d20+1 * dicebot --> "Treladren rolls 1d20+1 and gets 18." I attempt to call out he forms position Call out what? the forms distance and relative location to Treladren Gotcha. You relay the information. Tre, make another Spot. * Modren pfftt toss me a small rock roll 1d20 spot * dicebot --> "Treladren rolls 1d20 spot and gets 7." You still can't seem to find him out there. * Treladren tosses Modren a pebble Can I ready a spell? does it make it faster to cast? You can ready an action in response to someting you expect to happen or even a period of time passing. You'll react with your action when the states trigger happens. stated* How far is the form? distance* Nearly 300' away now. spot check? * Modren waits and observes for the time being Go ahead. roll 1d20 spot * dicebot --> "Treladren rolls 1d20 spot and gets 14." You see the motion of the grass near where Modren direted you before, but closer now. directed*, I hate this keyboard. Modren, should I wake Lerris? "Yeah, it appears to be coming our way, and hiding......." * Treladren goes to tent to try to wake Lerris Lerris wakes and is swiftly alert, "What is it? What's the problem?" He seems calm. Modren, you notice the thing still advancing. * Treladren tells Lerris what's going on outside Lerris nods. "You were good to come to me with this. Let us see what else we can discover. Come." He darts out of the tent, silent and swift as the wind. A moment later he is atop the wagon beside Modren, peering into the darkness ahead. * Treladren follows * Treladren follows Lerris * Modren looks to where the shape came from then back to the shape. (looking for others) Lerris speaks quietly, "If there's more than one thing out there, I can't spot it. You two stay here incase more come along. I'll go see if I can incapacitate our guest." He smiles brightly and slips down the opposite side of the wagon and fades into the grasses. (Spot) roll 1d20 spot * dicebot --> "Treladren rolls 1d20 spot and gets 4." dammit * DMCeldia snickers. roll 1d20+5 spot * dicebot --> "Modren rolls 1d20+5 spot and gets 8." jinkies You both lose track of the intruder and the elf. The moments pass silently, each one drawn out, your own heartbeat echoing in your skulls. * Treladren whispers, "I don't see anything" * Modren readies jumping down if and when he heers a struggle to bolt in that direction for aid "nor do I * Treladren sees Modren, and readies himself as well...cuz I'm a copycat and can't think of these things myself Suddenly there is a burst of rainbow colored light, almost blinding against the dim light of false dawn. (Spellcraft) Lerris stands up from the grass where the burst of light is and waves you over. * Treladren jumps down and goes towards Lerris "pretty rainbow" Making a Spellcraft check, Modren? sure roll 1d20+2 splcrft * dicebot --> "Modren rolls 1d20+2 splcrft and gets 19." * Modren bolts in that direction You make your way over to the wizard and find him standing over a very unconscious goblin, who is lightly armed and armored. "GILGAMESH!!"" * Modren ahem * Treladren eases stance, as it appears Modren knows this goblin Lerris grins a bit. "Seems to me we've found a scout. Or at least I hope so for his sake. Its not normal to see these fellows wandering about alone." "Rarely do these lot travel alone" * Modren looks around * Treladren looks around too... roll 1d20 spot * dicebot --> "Treladren rolls 1d20 spot and gets 1." lol * Treladren hides you see.........me role crit? * zombieLackef is now known as lackef wb lackef "We should get him and ourselves back to capm" Lerris nods a bit. "Treladren, would you mind hauling this lump back to the camp, perhaps introducing him to some of our rope? He should be out of it for a bit longer yet. Modren, you seem to have keen eyes. Come with me." He heads up onto the road, obviously expecting his instructions to be followed. roll 1d20+4 * dicebot --> "lackef rolls 1d20+4 and gets 24." Lackef, you would be asleep currently. But welcome back, all the same. * Modren follows as silently as he can * lackef dreams he saw someone yo lackef * Treladren takes rope from pack, ties goblin up Spot checks, Tre spot and Use Rope checks roll 1d20 spot * dicebot --> "Treladren rolls 1d20 spot and gets 14." roll 1d20+5 spot * dicebot --> "Modren rolls 1d20+5 spot and gets 7." roll 1d20+1 use rope * dicebot --> "Treladren rolls 1d20+1 use rope and gets 5." * Modren shakes dicebot i'd like to kick him, lol * dicebot was kicked by DMCeldia (DMCeldia) * dicebot has joined #fazedcampaign lol ty cel
