[2025/06/29 14:24] Sonja Bikergrrl: so... no Martina, no Jassie
[2025/06/29 14:25] Mecha: All right When we last left our heroes they had found a hidden room with torches along the wall and some statues in the middle of the room. They imagined an old man thwacking them on the back of the head and are now looking around.
[2025/06/29 14:26] Sonja Bikergrrl: and I'm with the mimic ready to splat it
[2025/06/29 14:27] Andreas: /me turns around "did just something tap on my shoulder?" looks bit confused
[2025/06/29 14:27] Mecha: The mimic is actually with Ana
[2025/06/29 14:27] Sonja Bikergrrl: Kaelin: "Probably a mimic"
[2025/06/29 14:28] Sapphire: Ah, there was one more thing, somehow
[2025/06/29 14:28] Sonja Bikergrrl: Then I'm with the mimic with Ana, ready to splat it
[2025/06/29 14:28] Sapphire: Ana picked up the mimic while it was in lantern form last I recall. "Why do you always try to smack things around, Kaelin?"
[2025/06/29 14:29] Sonja Bikergrrl: Kaelin: "That thing tried to make a snack out of you, remember? Or should I just let you get et?"
[2025/06/29 14:29] Sapphire: "You're not going to do that again, right?" She smiles, asking the mimic.
[2025/06/29 14:29] Mecha: The mimic looks at Kaelin."That was the one who can't talk. Seriously no idea where he went
[2025/06/29 14:30] Sonja Bikergrrl: Kaelin: "That thing is a monstrous enemy. That is all I need to know!"
[2025/06/29 14:32] Mecha: The Mimic makes herself look like a stone face."They are evil, that is evil. Gith are evil."Seriously I met someone who talked just like that.. Okay I saw and heard them."
[2025/06/29 14:33] Mecha: It's a face none of your characters have seen before
[2025/06/29 14:33] Sapphire: "You know this place and about the masks? Or other good stuff?"
[2025/06/29 14:33] Sonja Bikergrrl: Kaelin: "Yeah? Well, they had a point."
[2025/06/29 14:33] Andreas: /me "so, what are we up to, the locator? Just leave the mimic be for now Kaelin, you can smack it later"
[2025/06/29 14:36] Jassie: heya sorryyy
[2025/06/29 14:36] Jassie: i fell asleep at home
[2025/06/29 14:36] Sonja Bikergrrl: never mind sorry, we're about to TPK, and you could swing the battle!
[2025/06/29 14:37] Andreas: hi Jassie
[2025/06/29 14:37] Mecha: The mimic looks back at Ana."This supposed to be the room with the locator, but it is kinda dark. So we don't usually come in.. Mainly because we can't. saw it open once after that no chance, but I know it was dark
[2025/06/29 14:37] Jassie: hihi
[2025/06/29 14:38] Mecha: Blook looks at Kaelin."Want tm to get that mimic boss?" Before giving the mimic the eyes on you gesture.
[2025/06/29 14:38] Sapphire: "Well, I'm always happy to make a new friend!" They smile, looking around. "You mimiced a lantern before, can you make light?" She also looks around to who else has a light
[2025/06/29 14:38] Mecha: Hi Jassie
[2025/06/29 14:38] Mecha: I can do a lantern but no light
[2025/06/29 14:38] Jassie: holds up a torch somehow
[2025/06/29 14:39] Sonja Bikergrrl: Kaelin, to Bloom: "Not now, but keep an eye on it, one wrong move, I want to know. More importantly, can you maybe set a fire, without burning yourself?"
[2025/06/29 14:39] Andreas: /me "let's look around, maybe there is a secret or something what reveals the locator. Well some of you actually can see something in a dark so maybe you could help?"
[2025/06/29 14:40] Mecha: Motions to Jassie."She's got one. I mean I could build a torch base but you would have to light it once I disconnect it
[2025/06/29 14:41] Sapphire: "We can probably manage that."
[2025/06/29 14:42] Sapphire: ( Shall we set up such a light source then? )
[2025/06/29 14:42] Mecha: Bloom nods."You got it boss."
[2025/06/29 14:43] Sonja Bikergrrl: Kaelin, to Bloom: "Excellent. I'll have a little job for you later."
[2025/06/29 14:43] Jassie: I think i remember taking a torch last session also
[2025/06/29 14:44] Mecha: Bloom nods and stares in the direction of the mimic
[2025/06/29 14:44] Jassie: "seems to be alot of Mimics here also yea."
[2025/06/29 14:45] Mecha: As the light from Jassies torch shines around you see a statue of a withered and angry old man. Not lich levels of withered, just unbelievably old. in one hand the statue holds a walking stick, the other holds a box
[2025/06/29 14:46] Jassie: jumps back from the sudden reveal
[2025/06/29 14:47] Sapphire: "Oh no... he looks so..." Ana shivers a bit a the sight, like they are reminded of someone from back home
[2025/06/29 14:50] Sonja Bikergrrl: Stick looks interesting, anything unusual about it?
[2025/06/29 14:51] Mecha: The stick looks thin and stick like at the bottom coming to a point upon the ground. The top looke bigger the a phonograph speaker
[2025/06/29 14:51] Sonja Bikergrrl: can I investigate the stick?
[2025/06/29 14:52] Andreas: /me "maybe we should check the statute and the parts for any traps, who knows, maybe somebody wanted the locator to remain here and not be taken
[2025/06/29 14:52] Mecha: Sure, roll perception
[2025/06/29 14:52] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 6
[2025/06/29 14:52] Sonja Bikergrrl: suckcess!
[2025/06/29 14:53] Mecha: It looks like a normal stick shaped piece of stone. there is a bit of darkness inside the hole in the top but other than that the whole thing looks like it is part of the statue
[2025/06/29 14:53] D20: Sapphire rolls 2
[2025/06/29 14:54] Sapphire: Ana looks around as well
[2025/06/29 14:55] Mecha: It would seem Everything on and about this statue is stone except the plaque on the front and the fact that the box seems openable
[2025/06/29 14:56] Sonja Bikergrrl: What's on the plaque?
[2025/06/29 14:56] D20: Andreas rolls 15
[2025/06/29 14:57] Jassie: tries to use my halberd blade to open the box maybe? like a crobaw
[2025/06/29 14:57] Jassie: crowbar*
[2025/06/29 14:57] Mecha: On the plaque it says touch not lest ye be touched
[2025/06/29 14:57] Mecha: Jassie roll strength check
[2025/06/29 14:57] D20: Jassie rolls 11
[2025/06/29 14:58] Jassie: im not touching, so its fine
[2025/06/29 14:58] Sonja Bikergrrl: how are you opening the box without touching it? :P
[2025/06/29 14:59] Jassie: with my halberd blade
[2025/06/29 14:59] Sonja Bikergrrl: which you're holding...
[2025/06/29 14:59] Jassie: not touching it though hehe
[2025/06/29 14:59] Sapphire: "Pretty sure someone is ending up getting touched.'
[2025/06/29 14:59] Jassie: LOL
[2025/06/29 15:00] Mecha: You get your blade between the slit on the box but misjudge the angle and your blad bends a bit and then springs back up missing your face but easilly accessable and grabable.
[2025/06/29 15:00] Jassie: ahhh!
[2025/06/29 15:00] Jassie: ok, dont do that
[2025/06/29 15:01] Mecha: Anyone else gonna try?
[2025/06/29 15:01] Andreas: /me examines the box, before trying to open it. "okay let's give it a try"
[2025/06/29 15:02] Mecha: Strength check
[2025/06/29 15:02] Andreas: /me wanna check if the box is trap free
[2025/06/29 15:02] Jassie: dont touch it
[2025/06/29 15:02] Mecha: okay then roll to check for traps first
[2025/06/29 15:02] D20: Andreas rolls 13
[2025/06/29 15:03] Mecha: As far as you can tell it is clean
[2025/06/29 15:04] Andreas: /me "well seems okay, so ...." tries to open the box, carefully
[2025/06/29 15:05] D20: Andreas rolls 16
[2025/06/29 15:05] Andreas: I got STR 14
[2025/06/29 15:06] Mecha: How do you try to open it?
[2025/06/29 15:06] Andreas: /me bare hands
[2025/06/29 15:06] Jassie: oh boy
[2025/06/29 15:07] Sapphire: Exciting. Go for it!
[2025/06/29 15:07] Mecha: The lid flips open.. Easier than you expected, what looks like a small smoke cloud escapes but.. it's only dust
[2025/06/29 15:08] Andreas: /me carefully peaks in to the box
[2025/06/29 15:08] Sapphire: what color of dust?
[2025/06/29 15:08] Mecha: grey
[2025/06/29 15:09] Mecha: There is a small staff with four frog heads. Each one pointing in a different direction.
[2025/06/29 15:09] Jassie: ooo, the frog staff
[2025/06/29 15:10] Andreas: /me "I'm not touching it, seems it's been here for way too long, any volunteer?"
[2025/06/29 15:11] Mecha: NEWWWW ACHIEVEMENT!!! Froggin around. That's right you found the Frog staff. A hand held little bugger that is called a staff because... Well just because. This is your locater you lucky so and so. REWARD?! You get the Frog staff, take it and be happy
[2025/06/29 15:11] Sapphire: "Tempting... but I've got my hands a bit full at the moment."
[2025/06/29 15:12] Sapphire: "Kaelin? Frogs like flowers, right?"
[2025/06/29 15:12] Sonja Bikergrrl: No.
[2025/06/29 15:12] Sonja Bikergrrl: It'd suit Jassie, though
[2025/06/29 15:13] Jassie: argh fine
[2025/06/29 15:13] Jassie: not really a staff person, but i guess a halberd is somewhat of a staff
[2025/06/29 15:14] Mecha: oh btw that new achievement announcement was heard in everyones head
[2025/06/29 15:14] Sapphire: from where?!
[2025/06/29 15:15] Mecha: no clue it just came through your heads telepathically
[2025/06/29 15:15] Sapphire: very odd...
[2025/06/29 15:16] Jassie: hmmm ok
[2025/06/29 15:17] Jassie: like a bong sound in my head
[2025/06/29 15:17] Sapphire: "Surely that means it's important."
[2025/06/29 15:18] Andreas: /me "what if we'd rather go back and we examine the frogs on a stick later on?"
[2025/06/29 15:18] Sapphire: "Someone else dashes through all the traps and locks we opened and yoinks it. Like that annoying flying head."
[2025/06/29 15:19] Sonja Bikergrrl: Kaelin: "Or that annoying mimic."
[2025/06/29 15:19] Mecha: Nope the box is open the item is right before you
[2025/06/29 15:19] Jassie: you really dont like mimics huh, I mean cant always blame you on that
[2025/06/29 15:20] Andreas: /me can I take the whole box not touching the frogs, and just take it all?
[2025/06/29 15:20] Sonja Bikergrrl: Kaelin: "Not ones that tried to eat you, no, should I let you get et?"
[2025/06/29 15:20] Sapphire: "Look, if you're scared I'll take it.'
[2025/06/29 15:21] Mecha: The box is stuck fast to the hand as if part of the statue
[2025/06/29 15:22] Andreas: /me "maybe we could smack the hand and take it like that"
[2025/06/29 15:23] Jassie: i'll take it then
[2025/06/29 15:23] Jassie: i got nothing much to lose at this point
[2025/06/29 15:23] Jassie: takes the staff and sees if anyone stops her
[2025/06/29 15:24] Andreas: /me takes two steps back
[2025/06/29 15:24] Mecha: The staf is lifted from the box with ease, and seems to fit right into Jassies hand
[2025/06/29 15:25] Jassie: does it change to fit, or just fits
[2025/06/29 15:25] Andreas: /me "just don't eat those frogs" grins at Jassie
[2025/06/29 15:26] Mecha: it seems to change to fit. Feeling more comfortable in your grip
[2025/06/29 15:26] Jassie: oh boy
[2025/06/29 15:27] Mecha: So you now have the locator. What are ya doing?
[2025/06/29 15:28] Sonja Bikergrrl: how does the locator work?
[2025/06/29 15:28] Mecha: You don't know yet
[2025/06/29 15:29] Sapphire: "Let's get somewhere safe and try the located out. Mimic, what do you know of how to use it?"
[2025/06/29 15:29] Sonja Bikergrrl: sounds like a return to town?
[2025/06/29 15:29] Sapphire: "....also what name should I call you by?"
[2025/06/29 15:30] Mecha: "No idea, never really had a name."
[2025/06/29 15:31] Jassie: everyone needs to have a name
[2025/06/29 15:31] Sapphire: Ana closes their eyes for a moment while considering.
[2025/06/29 15:32] Sapphire: "How does Vora'te'los sound?" They suggest, falling back on their homelands naming traditions.
[2025/06/29 15:32] Mecha: As you begin to walk away you hear something that sounds like a mix between a chant and a mumble and the words Grand, Wreck, Chui! And smoke begins bellowing from the top of the statue staff and three blood red beings appear. Humanoid looking with Deep purple, almost black eyes with no pupils. Each carrying a weapon... What do you do?
[2025/06/29 15:32] Mecha: /me no idea what it means but sounds... good?" The mimic says before looking over at the new arrivals
[2025/06/29 15:33] Sonja Bikergrrl: Kaelin: "Ah, I'm sure these guys are friendly, right?"
[2025/06/29 15:33] Mecha: One weilds an ax, One shields a hammer and the third weilds a big chakram
[2025/06/29 15:34] Jassie: cam from the staff im holding?
[2025/06/29 15:34] Sapphire: "Hello!" Ana'te'nilin waves, shield at the ready, hand on the hilt of their sword.
[2025/06/29 15:35] Mecha: No came from the stick the statue was holding
[2025/06/29 15:35] Mecha: The three growl at you all before taking a step forward
[2025/06/29 15:35] Jassie: points staff at the 3 dudes
[2025/06/29 15:36] Andreas: /me "Hi there, are you lost guys? Because we are, could you help us with direction?" looks at the three beings
[2025/06/29 15:36] Sonja Bikergrrl: Kaelin: "Maybe ask their names? Offer to let them join us?"
[2025/06/29 15:36] Sapphire: "Hi! I'm Ana'te'nilin, do you speak Common?"
[2025/06/29 15:37] Mecha: The staff does nothing however you get a feeling from it that it can shrink so it doesn't get used in combat
[2025/06/29 15:37] Mecha: They look like they either do not understand you or simply don't care
[2025/06/29 15:37] Jassie: lol
[2025/06/29 15:38] Mecha: And with that they take another step forward if you could put a title on these guys they would be at least part demon
[2025/06/29 15:40] Andreas: /me "maybe we should just move faster?" takes few steps back looking for a way to escape
[2025/06/29 15:40] Mecha: The door is still open
[2025/06/29 15:40] Jassie: yes run!!
[2025/06/29 15:40] Mecha: You get one round to fight or flee
[2025/06/29 15:40] Sapphire: Backing up to at least blockade the door, better fighting frontage
[2025/06/29 15:40] Sonja Bikergrrl: Kaelin: backing up with Ana
[2025/06/29 15:41] Sapphire: "Rally at the door!"
[2025/06/29 15:41] Andreas: /me "run!"
[2025/06/29 15:41] Mecha: IF you're running gonna need a dex check
[2025/06/29 15:43] Sapphire: including what Ana is doing?
[2025/06/29 15:43] Sapphire: it's less running and more, "moving to favorable ground"
[2025/06/29 15:43] Mecha: yep. You're backing up gotta make sure you dont trip
[2025/06/29 15:43] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 7
[2025/06/29 15:43] Sonja Bikergrrl: \o/
[2025/06/29 15:43] D20: Andreas rolls 20

[2025/06/29 15:45] Mecha: Oh my
[2025/06/29 15:46] Mecha: For those who passed you high tail it out of there. Andreas you turn to book it and trip over your feet so bad you take Ana with you to the floor.
[2025/06/29 15:46] Jassie: i go back to help, using the staff as a pulling thing
[2025/06/29 15:46] Sapphire: "Gwah!"
[2025/06/29 15:47] Sonja Bikergrrl: Kaelin: "Fuck!" Back to grab Ana by the scruff of her neck and drag her out
[2025/06/29 15:47] Andreas: /me "ooops, sorry Ana" trying to stand up and keep running
[2025/06/29 15:49] Sapphire: Ana tumbles and clangs in her armor as they're knocked over
[2025/06/29 15:49] Mecha: okay dex check for Andreas and Ana again
[2025/06/29 15:49] Sonja Bikergrrl: do I make a roll too?
[2025/06/29 15:49] Sapphire: presumably, unless you mean to solo the invaders
[2025/06/29 15:49] Sapphire: or defenders or whatever their deal is
[2025/06/29 15:50] Sonja Bikergrrl: Mecha
[2025/06/29 15:50] D20: Andreas rolls 3
[2025/06/29 15:50] Mecha: Yes since you are helping

[2025/06/29 15:52] D20: Mecha rolls 3
[2025/06/29 15:53] Sapphire: D:
[2025/06/29 15:53] Mecha: okay Andreas you manage to get back to your feet and run into the hallway. Kaelin you are pulling on Ana but her scrabbling feet are making it very difficult, when Kaelin feels something wrap around her arm and the word PULL!"
[2025/06/29 15:54] Sonja Bikergrrl: /me grabbed Ana, turn that frown upside down
[2025/06/29 15:54] Sapphire: :)
[2025/06/29 15:54] Sonja Bikergrrl: Kaelin: "Motherfucker, this is what I get for helping?"
[2025/06/29 15:55] Jassie: can i pull anyone along??
[2025/06/29 15:56] Mecha: Kaelin looking down you see the mimic also pulling at Ana the three of you scramble into the hallway with the dark oni moving closer.
[2025/06/29 15:56] Mecha: The mimic lets Kaelin go with no damage to her."Sorry, got a bit panicked."
[2025/06/29 15:57] Sonja Bikergrrl: Kaelin: "GET YER fucking pseudopod off of me!"
[2025/06/29 15:57] Jassie: well done, i give the Mimic a pat on the back
[2025/06/29 15:57] Jassie: oh dont be rude Kaelin
[2025/06/29 15:59] Mecha: The mimic moves back to Ana."I said sorry. Sheesh."
[2025/06/29 15:59] Sapphire: Is everyone through?
[2025/06/29 15:59] Mecha: Yep
[2025/06/29 15:59] Sapphire: /me kicks the door closed from their half prone position
[2025/06/29 15:59] Sonja Bikergrrl: Kaelin: "Oh, -that'll- hold 'em.
[2025/06/29 16:00] Jassie: nah you did well, gives a dwarven kinda squeeze
[2025/06/29 16:01] Andreas: /me "you're gonna talk when we're out, keep moving" ... looks for way out
[2025/06/29 16:01] Mecha: You don't know if that will hold them but for now you are safe
[2025/06/29 16:02] Sapphire: Ana gets back to their feet and starts making their way back out the dungeon. "Quick! Leave those fools in our dust!"
[2025/06/29 16:02] Sonja Bikergrrl: Kaelin: "Gee. Thanks, Kaelin."
[2025/06/29 16:03] Mecha: The mimic looks at Kaelin."You don't like me but thanks for pulling her out."
[2025/06/29 16:03] Sapphire: "Remind me to kiss you when we get back to town!"
[2025/06/29 16:03] Jassie: "why am I being ignored here?" thinks to herself
[2025/06/29 16:04] Mecha: I'm not sure who gets the dwarven squeeze?
[2025/06/29 16:04] Sonja Bikergrrl: you're not ignored, as a player you're adored, never abhored, with my rhymes are you bored?
[2025/06/29 16:04] Jassie: the one who helped? the mimic
[2025/06/29 16:05] Jassie: hehe
[2025/06/29 16:05] Mecha: The Mimic purrs at the hug.
[2025/06/29 16:06] Mecha: All right following the path back you find yourself back in the room with teh ghosts you first met
[2025/06/29 16:07] Sonja Bikergrrl: Kaelin: "Bye, guys. By the way, you got a slight oni infestation problem."
[2025/06/29 16:08] Mecha: Okay are you all leaving?
[2025/06/29 16:08] Jassie: I guess?
