[2025/04/27 14:36] Mecha: So we Hello everyone and welcome. when we last left our heroes the had descended into the temple of Doo Lahn to find an item or a way to get a locator for some mystical masks
[2025/04/27 14:36] Sapphire: how many rooms of this temple had we explored?
[2025/04/27 14:36] Sonja Bikergrrl: 0?
[2025/04/27 14:36] Mecha: They opened the door to the temple/ burial site as we ended last game.
[2025/04/27 14:37] Jassie: yea think we just got in
[2025/04/27 14:37] Sapphire: Ok
[2025/04/27 14:37] Sapphire: just trying to sort my memories of this game apart from my memories of other games
[2025/04/27 14:37] Sapphire: So, Ana'te'nilin, with a big smile on her face, sniffs and walks in slowly, ready to jump back if she feels the floor under her foot shift.
[2025/04/27 14:37] Jassie: hehehe
[2025/04/27 14:38] Sapphire: how does this temple smell?
[2025/04/27 14:39] Jassie: probably terrible lol, if its old
[2025/04/27 14:40] Mecha: As you enter the first room. You see many torches. Some light up as you enter, some do not. It looks like a large room. Statues are in the room stand scattered. Straight ahead you see a door as well as one to the left
[2025/04/27 14:41] Mecha: The room smells old musty and a bit dusty
[2025/04/27 14:41] Sonja Bikergrrl: is there any pattern to the statues/torches?
[2025/04/27 14:41] Sapphire: "Maybe we should finish lighting all the torches? help them out some!"
[2025/04/27 14:42] Mecha: The torches are laid out to light up the room.
[2025/04/27 14:42] Sonja Bikergrrl: is there a pattern to being lit/out?
[2025/04/27 14:43] Jassie: well begins helping to light up the torches with whoever has a burning torch and then getting blinded byt the increase in the light XD
[2025/04/27 14:43] Jassie: just gonna go with the flow
[2025/04/27 14:43] Mecha: The statues are varied. In the corners across the room are two women. One is an even ranger woman. Cloak over her head, the other is and a half orc woman knuckle dusters on her hands and an angry look on her face
[2025/04/27 14:44] Sonja Bikergrrl: are these all in random poses/positions? Do they all look surprised?
[2025/04/27 14:44] Mecha: Torches are just randomly lit
[2025/04/27 14:45] Mecha: Okay Jassie where do you start on lighting the torches?
[2025/04/27 14:45] Jassie: do both the statues look angry?
[2025/04/27 14:45] Jassie: just the closest one
[2025/04/27 14:46] Mecha: No just the half Orc. However they are looking at each other over the dorr
[2025/04/27 14:46] Sapphire: Ana will assist with the torch lighting, door-closest first, walking carefully
[2025/04/27 14:46] Mecha: The door opens dead center of the wall. left or right is equal distance
[2025/04/27 14:48] Jassie: hmmm how big is the door?
[2025/04/27 14:49] Mecha: which one?
[2025/04/27 14:49] Sapphire: the one that just opened
[2025/04/27 14:49] Jassie: dont think any opened, but are they both the same size?
[2025/04/27 14:50] Mecha: The one you came through is like a basic front door size
[2025/04/27 14:50] Jassie: ah no not that one
[2025/04/27 14:50] Sapphire: let's use North/South East/West please
[2025/04/27 14:50] Jassie: the one straight ahead and left
[2025/04/27 14:51] Jassie: straight ahead from where we came in and the the... west wall
[2025/04/27 14:52] Sonja Bikergrrl: I guess there's no flowers down here
[2025/04/27 14:52] Mecha: You entered the room straight ahead on the toher side of the room is a door. To the left is a door one torch on each side of where you entered is lit
[2025/04/27 14:53] Mecha: There are no flowers in this room
[2025/04/27 14:53] Sonja Bikergrrl: ...you didn't even let me roll...
[2025/04/27 14:53] Mecha: Then roll a D20
[2025/04/27 14:53] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 9
[2025/04/27 14:53] Sonja Bikergrrl: awh, I was hoping for a 20
[2025/04/27 14:53] Mecha: Success you look around and there are indeed no flowers in this room
[2025/04/27 14:54] Sonja Bikergrrl: \o/
[2025/04/27 14:54] Jassie: LOL
[2025/04/27 14:54] Sonja Bikergrrl: Maybe next room. I got a good feeling.
[2025/04/27 14:54] Jassie: do any of those 2 doors look bangeable, and i dont mean sexually XD
[2025/04/27 14:54] Jassie: like not too large etc
[2025/04/27 14:55] Sapphire: I fear the day we encounter a door that is sexually bangable....
[2025/04/27 14:55] Mecha: AS you search for flowers and Sapphire and Jassie light torches a small wind blows from somewhere it should not be able to blow from and the lit torches dim. the flames are still their the light just seems dimmer
[2025/04/27 14:55] Jassie: (HAHA)
[2025/04/27 14:56] Sapphire: "ooooh. What was that?"
[2025/04/27 14:56] Jassie: ehhh i'm too tipsy for this lol
[2025/04/27 14:56] Jassie: might be something playing tricks on me eyes
[2025/04/27 14:56] Mecha: *Giving the DM ideas already*
[2025/04/27 14:56] Sonja Bikergrrl: No, have another.
[2025/04/27 14:56] Sonja Bikergrrl: You're not tipsy enough
[2025/04/27 14:57] Sapphire: how far along in torch lighting were we when the wind started up?
[2025/04/27 14:57] Mecha: Assuming you two split up. halfway along the right side and left side wall.
[2025/04/27 14:57] Jassie: yea good idea, takes a swig
[2025/04/27 15:00] Mecha: As you drink. the statues each turn to look at you. their faces glowing a bright white
[2025/04/27 15:01] Jassie: woops
[2025/04/27 15:01] Jassie: hahahja
[2025/04/27 15:01] Jassie: (noone saw that!)
[2025/04/27 15:01] Jassie: (embarassing...)
[2025/04/27 15:01] Sonja Bikergrrl: /me waits stoically
[2025/04/27 15:02] Mecha: The faces glow brighter before a pair of ghostly figures appear from the statues
[2025/04/27 15:03] Sapphire: "Hello?"
[2025/04/27 15:03] Mecha: The half Orc has a sword in her hands. The Elven ranger pulls back her hood and draws a bow. IF these two were alive I do not doubt someone would try to seduce them
[2025/04/27 15:04] Mecha: The elven woman. "We are the guardians of the temple of Doo Lan. " The half orc speaks up."State your business."
[2025/04/27 15:05] Jassie: probably, our seduing friend ovber there, points at the one with a fae with her
[2025/04/27 15:05] Jassie: "woah i think I'm really tripping here...." rubs my eyes as I try to focus
[2025/04/27 15:06] Sonja Bikergrrl: "Leutentant Kaelin, Warwick City Watch. We're here on important business, we believe this Doo Lan can assist us in our enquiries."
[2025/04/27 15:08] Sapphire: "We are looking into a problem of escaped artifacts."
[2025/04/27 15:08] Mecha: They pause and cock their heads looking at Kaelin almost confused."We... we are here to make sure Doo Lans artifacts are not removed for nefarious purposes
[2025/04/27 15:08] Jassie: yea, assist us yea....
[2025/04/27 15:09] Sonja Bikergrrl: Lt Kaelin: "Then if you'll kindly allow us to speak to Doo Lan, I'm sure we can sort this out quickly. So, Doo Lan, if you please?"
[2025/04/27 15:09] Mecha: The Elf comments."Doo Lan can not help you for he has passed from this plane. There are safeguards in place to ensure he never returns."
[2025/04/27 15:10] Sapphire: "But we can talk to you then?"
[2025/04/27 15:10] Sonja Bikergrrl: Lt Kaelin: "Now look here. Impeding the Warwick City Watch in the execution of their duty is a serious matter. You don't want to stand in the way of law and order, do you?"
[2025/04/27 15:10] Jassie: is he some bad individual then?
[2025/04/27 15:10] Sapphire: "Well, I'm Ana'te'nilin, pleased to meet you!" She walks over and offers her hand to shake.
[2025/04/27 15:11] Jassie: Ana is always a pleasure to work with, giggles
[2025/04/27 15:12] Mecha: The half orc ghost flies to Kaelin."Honey. We're ghosts stuck here for eternity or until this world goes boom. You want in, you can enter, but if you're not worthy you wont be coming out."
[2025/04/27 15:12] Sonja Bikergrrl: Kaelin: "I'm afraid I must insist."
[2025/04/27 15:13] Sapphire: "What do you look for in the worthy?"
[2025/04/27 15:13] Jassie: I mean ghosts or not, must suck to remain in this must old temple
[2025/04/27 15:14] Mecha: The elf nods."Indeed, he was a dark wizard of some ill repute in these lands. After a hard fought battle He was defeated and sent to another plane of existence where it is believed he works to return here." She then tries to shake hands with Ana and a cold chill goes through Anas body as the ghost hand passes through
[2025/04/27 15:15] Mecha: We don't look for anything. the rest of the temple does. we are just here to give warning and answer questions. the two doors are unlocked you just have to enter
[2025/04/27 15:15] Sapphire: "Oooh! That's a neat feeling." She'll shake hands with the other ghost too.
[2025/04/27 15:15] Sonja Bikergrrl: Kaelin: "In that case, I must insist that we access his artifacts, so we can examine them and rule out involvement in a matter that we cannot reveal."
[2025/04/27 15:15] Mecha: The half orc looks at kaelin and stops in surprise.
[2025/04/27 15:15] Mecha: I need everyone to roll perception
[2025/04/27 15:15] Mecha: Kaelin roll with a plus 2 advantage
[2025/04/27 15:16] Sonja Bikergrrl: Kaelin: "Guard-client confidentiality. You understand."
[2025/04/27 15:16] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 1
[2025/04/27 15:16] Sonja Bikergrrl: crit success!!!
[2025/04/27 15:16] Jassie: (ooo do i even need to roll anymore lol, but might as well
[2025/04/27 15:16] D20: Jassie rolls 9
[2025/04/27 15:17] Sapphire: do you need Ana to roll anathing?
[2025/04/27 15:19] Mecha: yes roll perception
[2025/04/27 15:20] D20: Sapphire rolls 19
[2025/04/27 15:21] Mecha: Ana moves to shake the half orcs hand so does not notice right away. Kaelin and Jassie you see Bloom mooning the half orc ghost which is weird because she is a plant with a well made posterior. After a few moments of confusion Ana also sees this
[2025/04/27 15:23] Sonja Bikergrrl: Kaelin: "So. I trust we will have your full cooperation in this matter?"
[2025/04/27 15:23] Jassie: LOL
[2025/04/27 15:23] Jassie: (i guess that could work)
[2025/04/27 15:23] Jassie: is semi distracted by whats happening
[2025/04/27 15:24] Jassie: and takes another swig
[2025/04/27 15:24] Sapphire: Ana giggles even though the mooning is probably a bad idea
[2025/04/27 15:25] Mecha: The half orc ghost looks at Bloom and then shakes her head."You have zero cooperation. however you also don't have us obstructing. pick a door go through it. the artifacts are past the doors, but damned if I know where.
[2025/04/27 15:25] Sonja Bikergrrl: Kaelin: "I'll take that as a 'yes' and you won't have my constables round questioning you, then. I shall say 'good day' to you."
[2025/04/27 15:26] Mecha: Our current ghostly world is this room
[2025/04/27 15:26] Sonja Bikergrrl: Go West!
[2025/04/27 15:26] Jassie: ok then, you all can make the decision on that.
[2025/04/27 15:26] Mecha: The elf cocks her head.""Please let the constables come. It does get lonely here for us." the two ghosts float to each other and hold hands
[2025/04/27 15:26] Sapphire: "What does worthy mean, for you?"
[2025/04/27 15:26] Jassie: I trust ye
[2025/04/27 15:27] Mecha: worthy means if you survive. The temple will know
[2025/04/27 15:27] Jassie: oh damn, I do feel bad, is it possible to possibly help ye out of this guarding this place
[2025/04/27 15:29] Mecha: The elf."That is sweet of you but no. we volunteered for this job and do it well. just a person to speak with every now and then is nice
[2025/04/27 15:30] Jassie: offers some of her alcohol, this might help?
[2025/04/27 15:31] Mecha: So you go to the door to the west*Left*?
[2025/04/27 15:31] Sonja Bikergrrl: West/Left.
[2025/04/27 15:31] Sapphire: Sounds good, will stay with team
[2025/04/27 15:31] Jassie: mhm
[2025/04/27 15:31] Jassie: but offer some alcohol before I head off with the team
[2025/04/27 15:33] Mecha: They can not drink but the half orc does lick her lips
[2025/04/27 15:34] Jassie: damn i feel bad for them, i'm sure we can find some way to help
[2025/04/27 15:34] Mecha: Okay as you go through the west door. No torches are lit it is pitch dark inside. You do hear a soft skittering across the floor
[2025/04/27 15:34] Jassie: oh no, insects
[2025/04/27 15:34] Sonja Bikergrrl: Kaelin: "I suspect they are miscreants, probably evil."
[2025/04/27 15:35] Sapphire: We have torches, ye?
[2025/04/27 15:35] Jassie: wassa miscreant?
[2025/04/27 15:36] Sonja Bikergrrl: light one, sling it in
[2025/04/27 15:36] Jassie: think you all lit some, i dont wanna carry
[2025/04/27 15:36] Jassie: is bright
[2025/04/27 15:37] Sapphire: Ana keeps a light source in her left hand, sword in the other
[2025/04/27 15:37] Mecha: As you light the torch and toss it the skittering moves away from the torch light. However the room does light up a bit. There is a hallway to the right *North* of the room but shadows skitter across the walls from the light
[2025/04/27 15:37] Jassie: draws her polearm, which is two handed hence no torch lol
[2025/04/27 15:38] Jassie: how large are the shadows
[2025/04/27 15:38] Mecha: Large shadows on the wall but you don't see what are making the shadows
[2025/04/27 15:39] Jassie: (wonder if it like LOTR with sam when hes the big shadow lol)
[2025/04/27 15:41] Sapphire: What's the layout of this room/hall ?
[2025/04/27 15:42] Mecha: It looks like a regular stone room. With one hallway to the right side *North* of the room. a couple torches
[2025/04/27 15:43] Sonja Bikergrrl: Can we investigate what made that noise?
[2025/04/27 15:44] Mecha: Sure. Roll perception everyone
[2025/04/27 15:44] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 11
[2025/04/27 15:44] D20: Jassie rolls 13
[2025/04/27 15:44] Sonja Bikergrrl: success
[2025/04/27 15:44] Jassie: (is that a success lol)
[2025/04/27 15:46] Sonja Bikergrrl: idk, what's your WIS?
[2025/04/27 15:46] Jassie: (12 lol)
[2025/04/27 15:47] D20: Sapphire rolls 16
[2025/04/27 15:47] Sonja Bikergrrl: Fail.
[2025/04/27 15:47] Mecha: Yes You see a couple of scorpions 5 times larger than the little ones that exist so about the size of a a regular emperor scorpion
[2025/04/27 15:47] Jassie: (emperor scorpion, gotta google that)
[2025/04/27 15:47] Sonja Bikergrrl: Lovely. Well, I'm sure they will leave us be if we leave them.
[2025/04/27 15:47] Jassie: (ah not that big)
[2025/04/27 15:48] Jassie: yes lets leave em alone
[2025/04/27 15:49] Sapphire: Are they all glossy?
[2025/04/27 15:49] Mecha: Yes
[2025/04/27 15:50] Mecha: okay you decide to leave them alone
[2025/04/27 15:50] Jassie: unless sapphire wants to do anything
[2025/04/27 15:55] Mecha: You enter the roomand the scorpions skitter around away from you. they can be seen better against the wall now as the light shines on their carapaces.
[2025/04/27 15:55] Sonja Bikergrrl: Sssssaaaaaa-pppppphhirreeeee.... you with us?
[2025/04/27 15:56] Jassie: anything in particular that i notice with my slightly unfocused eyes about the scorps?

[2025/04/27 15:57] Sapphire: back
[2025/04/27 15:57] Sapphire: She waves to the Scorpians but doesn't force a fight

[2025/04/27 16:03] Sapphire: sorry about that
[2025/04/27 16:04] Mecha: Ana waves to the scorpion however Jassie sees it wave back
[2025/04/27 16:07] Jassie: "ermm....ladies....I think the scorpion just waved back as us...."
[2025/04/27 16:07] Mecha: All right as you all move through the room a bit of dust and dirt falls on you all from the ceiling
[2025/04/27 16:07] Sapphire: "Neat! Hello! Hope you don't mind us passing through."
[2025/04/27 16:07] Jassie: goes up to the one that waved
[2025/04/27 16:08] Mecha: It looks at you and skitters away
[2025/04/27 16:08] Sonja Bikergrrl: Kaelin: "Friendly little fellah. Let's concentrate on getting that thing, I need to see some flowers soon."
[2025/04/27 16:09] Jassie: I think i really need more drinks.
[2025/04/27 16:09] Jassie: unelss i'm seeing things, but lets go ahead
[2025/04/27 16:10] Mecha: A bit more dirt and dust fall on you all a small bit of cobwebs fallas well.
[2025/04/27 16:10] Sapphire: "Ooops," she glances up and blinks, then heads to the other side of the room.
[2025/04/27 16:10] Sonja Bikergrrl: "...time to go! Let's move!"
[2025/04/27 16:11] Mecha: Assuming you are heading to the hallway
[2025/04/27 16:11] Sonja Bikergrrl: To where we need to be to find that thing
[2025/04/27 16:12] Jassie: well since sonja is leading, i'll follow along
[2025/04/27 16:12] Mecha: *RUMBLE!!!*
[2025/04/27 16:12] Sonja Bikergrrl: "Time to go! Double time it, move!"
[2025/04/27 16:12] Sapphire: Running!
[2025/04/27 16:12] Sonja Bikergrrl: let's get the fuck outta here, maybe
[2025/04/27 16:14] Mecha: Everybody roll perception as you run

[2025/04/27 16:17] Mecha: As you move you see parts of the ceiling coming down. It is strange but the parts coming coming down in front of you look like claws
[2025/04/27 16:19] Sonja Bikergrrl: Ah fuck. Come to a halt, draw my war hammer. "In the name of the Warwick City Watch, show yourselves! It is illegal for anyone to impede an Officer of the Watch in the execution of their duty, be they alive, dead, undead, or supernatural."
[2025/04/27 16:20] Jassie: says out loud, "I dont think anyone cares bout that, Kaelin"
[2025/04/27 16:21] Sonja Bikergrrl: Kaelin: "They're about to start."
[2025/04/27 16:22] Mecha: As you stop and turn you see the ceiling land on the ground missing and it stands up, its tail curling and Kaelin you see a 5 foot scorpion made of stone looking at you
[2025/04/27 16:23] Mecha: As it looks at you a magical fairy appears with a banner over head that says. "Cliffhanger!"
[2025/04/27 16:23] Sonja Bikergrrl: Kaelin: "Now look here, young fellah-me-lad...."
[2025/04/27 16:23] Mecha: *Note Magical fairy may show up again but only to announce the cliffhanger*
[2025/04/27 16:23] Sonja Bikergrrl: right, I got to go, work in AM
[2025/04/27 16:24] Sapphire: :O a cliffhanger!
