[2026/04/16 13:57] Sonja Bikergrrl: so... where are we picking up from... the aquatic TPK with the exploding dragon, right?
[2026/04/16 13:57] Mecha: -.-
[2026/04/16 13:58] Sonja Bikergrrl: I'll BRB while you roll new characters
[2026/04/16 13:58] Joe: we have a chance to survive this
[2026/04/16 13:58] Mecha: New character? Hmmmmm, if you say so
[2026/04/16 14:00] Sapphire: oh, we got depth charged, didn't we?
[2026/04/16 14:00] Sonja Bikergrrl: it's usual after a TPK is it not
[2026/04/16 14:00] Sonja Bikergrrl: /me opens notes
[2026/04/16 14:00] Joe: are we all dead ?
[2026/04/16 14:01] Joe: it is worth asking. one can never be too sure
[2026/04/16 14:01] Sonja Bikergrrl: oh.... bollocks.
[2026/04/16 14:01] Sonja Bikergrrl: looks like I forgot to post last weeks' log, sorry
[2026/04/16 14:02] Mecha: To be best of this ones knowledge we are not dead. Mistress is referencing Sunday game
[2026/04/16 14:02] Sonja Bikergrrl: so. From memory... you were taken via some sailing vessel to the Astral Plane, and then to an infested planet.
[2026/04/16 14:02] Sonja Bikergrrl: The Githyanki are very... what's the word
[2026/04/16 14:03] Joe: annoying
[2026/04/16 14:03] Sapphire: ah yes, this is the Way of All Flesh game
[2026/04/16 14:03] Mecha: mean
[2026/04/16 14:03] Sapphire: imperious
[2026/04/16 14:03] Sonja Bikergrrl: annoying.... mean.... imperious! I like that.
[2026/04/16 14:03] Sonja Bikergrrl: Yes, imperious
[2026/04/16 14:03] Sonja Bikergrrl: and they've dumped you outside a settlement and said "go to the blacksmith, you'll find things you need"
[2026/04/16 14:04] Sonja Bikergrrl: half way there.... and you are encountering... more of the nightmarish Zerg.
[2026/04/16 14:04] Sapphire: how sharp and balanced are zerg claws?
[2026/04/16 14:05] Sonja Bikergrrl: sharp enough to rend you limb from limb
[2026/04/16 14:05] Sonja Bikergrrl: why?
[2026/04/16 14:05] Joe: sharper than cold steel?
[2026/04/16 14:05] Sonja Bikergrrl: ask one to compare with your sword when you are close to one
[2026/04/16 14:06] Joe: last two times I tried that I had to roll vs death
[2026/04/16 14:06] Sonja Bikergrrl: I guess they gave you a pointed answer
[2026/04/16 14:06] Sonja Bikergrrl: Sapphire?
[2026/04/16 14:11] Sapphire: wondering how it compares to my sword
[2026/04/16 14:11] Sapphire: as you say, will have to compare up close
[2026/04/16 14:12] Sonja Bikergrrl: Roll ... INT or WIS, your call which
[2026/04/16 14:12] Sapphire: whichever is better
[2026/04/16 14:12] D20: Sapphire rolls 17
[2026/04/16 14:12] Sapphire: i don't think it matters
[2026/04/16 14:12] Sonja Bikergrrl: ...no....
[2026/04/16 14:13] Sonja Bikergrrl: you've fought a few, but haven't really had a chance to figure that out yet.
[2026/04/16 14:13] Sonja Bikergrrl: It was a good question, though.
[2026/04/16 14:14] Mecha: The zerg are attacking right?
[2026/04/16 14:14] Sonja Bikergrrl: you can try again after the next combat, which, ironically, is in a few seconds' time.
[2026/04/16 14:15] Sonja Bikergrrl: And with recaps and questions out of the way... GGGRRREEEETTTTIIINNGGGSSSSS Adventurers! Other players get to fight awesome monsters in devious lairs... you get to deal with mooks in an abandoned village.
[2026/04/16 14:16] Sonja Bikergrrl: You notice what looks like a bunch of flying things... Oh! It's a horror game, everyone gets to make Sanity checks!
[2026/04/16 14:16] Sapphire: are they fuzzy mooks? what language do the mooks speak?
[2026/04/16 14:16] D10: Sapphire rolls 8
[2026/04/16 14:16] D10: Sapphire rolls 2
[2026/04/16 14:16] D10: Mecha rolls 2
[2026/04/16 14:16] D10: Mecha rolls 10
[2026/04/16 14:16] D10: Joe rolls 10
[2026/04/16 14:16] D10: Joe rolls 4
[2026/04/16 14:18] Sonja Bikergrrl: Joe and Neopli are made of strong stuff. The sight of a huge bulbous thing that floats in the air, surrounded by a handful of small, wildly flapping things that look like big headless bats doesn't faze them. They're also accompanied by one of those flying scorpion snake things.
[2026/04/16 14:19] Sonja Bikergrrl: Gwen, however, feels rather unsettled at the sight, and, who can blame her where being the focus of flying monstrosities
[2026/04/16 14:19] D6: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 3
[2026/04/16 14:19] Joe: how close are we to the buildings ?
[2026/04/16 14:20] Sonja Bikergrrl: Sanity loss: Gwen 3, Joe, Neopli 1
[2026/04/16 14:20] Sapphire: (debuff sounds )
[2026/04/16 14:21] Sonja Bikergrrl: The flying things seem to be holding back a little; to one side is another group. A big bulbous flying thing, trailing tentacles, a flying snake scorpion thing, and three Zerglings, and one serpentine hydralisk, hissing loudly as it approaches: "DDIIEEEEEE!"
[2026/04/16 14:22] Sonja Bikergrrl: In answer to the question: the settlement is perhaps 200' away, with your welcoming committee being rather nearer
[2026/04/16 14:22] Sonja Bikergrrl: Who's doing what?
[2026/04/16 14:22] Mecha: Neopti is charging this thing. She wants a fight right now but is also hoping to impress the Gith on the ship.
[2026/04/16 14:23] Sonja Bikergrrl: (Don't forget Dr Voss & Hudson are present, but, can only communicate in a limited way)
[2026/04/16 14:23] Sapphire: "They announce themselves as our enemies," Gwen states, pulling her bow out and launching arrows towards the one shouting "The" at them.
[2026/04/16 14:24] Sonja Bikergrrl: Joe? Any bright ideas? :-)
[2026/04/16 14:25] Joe: "We would be better off, strategically speaking, inside the buildings where the demons could not attack us all at the same time."
[2026/04/16 14:25] Sonja Bikergrrl: Good idea... but you got to get -past- them...
[2026/04/16 14:26] Sonja Bikergrrl: Roll initiative!
[2026/04/16 14:26] Mecha: Fuck them."Neopti says
[2026/04/16 14:26] D20: Mecha rolls 7
[2026/04/16 14:26] Joe: ah. That is a snag in my plan.
[2026/04/16 14:26] D20: Joe rolls 8
[2026/04/16 14:26] Sonja Bikergrrl: /me rolls Terrans then Zerg
[2026/04/16 14:26] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 6
[2026/04/16 14:26] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 3
[2026/04/16 14:26] D20: Mecha rolls 2
[2026/04/16 14:26] D20: Sapphire rolls 7
[2026/04/16 14:26] Mecha: Rolled Neopti and then Fluffles
[2026/04/16 14:27] Sonja Bikergrrl: Fluffles goes with Neopli (or, when you remind me)
[2026/04/16 14:27] Sonja Bikergrrl: Your welcoming committee first
[2026/04/16 14:28] Sonja Bikergrrl: The hydralisk pauses, and there seems to be a brief moment of uncertainty. Then, it falls back, as the three zerglings move forward, while the flying creature closes in overhead, the big floating tentacled thing staying well behind.
[2026/04/16 14:29] Sonja Bikergrrl: Meanwhile, the other group stays well back and to one side.
[2026/04/16 14:29] Mecha: ok
[2026/04/16 14:30] Sonja Bikergrrl: Terrans next! Dr Voss is non-com, so, she stays back. Hudson, meanwhile, takes aim at the big floating thing with his fire stick.
[2026/04/16 14:30] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 10
[2026/04/16 14:31] Sonja Bikergrrl: He manages to spray it with three hits. The dice gods are smiling on you... let's hope it lasts
[2026/04/16 14:31] D6: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 5
[2026/04/16 14:31] D6: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 6
[2026/04/16 14:31] D6: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 3
[2026/04/16 14:31] Sonja Bikergrrl: 14 damage, a good start.
[2026/04/16 14:32] Sonja Bikergrrl: Mecha and Sapphire - go at the same time.
[2026/04/16 14:32] Sonja Bikergrrl: Sapphire, you said arrows?
[2026/04/16 14:32] Sapphire: indeed, she is plucking her bowstring at them
[2026/04/16 14:33] D20: Sapphire rolls 5
[2026/04/16 14:33] D20: Sapphire rolls 7
[2026/04/16 14:33] Sonja Bikergrrl: you gave them a good plucking.
[2026/04/16 14:33] Sonja Bikergrrl: that's two arrows expended
[2026/04/16 14:33] Mecha: Charging the nearest opponent gonna try to stab from umbrella then use the claw to do the same
[2026/04/16 14:33] Sonja Bikergrrl: Neopli will save the day
[2026/04/16 14:33] D20: Mecha rolls 9
[2026/04/16 14:33] D20: Mecha rolls 7
[2026/04/16 14:34] Mecha: ... You were saying about saving the day?
[2026/04/16 14:34] Sonja Bikergrrl: Charging: you get +2 to hit, double damage on success, but, -2 on AC
[2026/04/16 14:34] Mecha: So did she hit?
[2026/04/16 14:34] Sonja Bikergrrl: That was an annoyingly close miss.
[2026/04/16 14:34] Sonja Bikergrrl: So close!
[2026/04/16 14:35] Sonja Bikergrrl: I jinxed it didn't I, by saying the dice gods were smiling...
[2026/04/16 14:35] Mecha: possibly, but we will see
[2026/04/16 14:35] Sonja Bikergrrl: Fluffles to the rescue!
[2026/04/16 14:35] D20: Mecha rolls 19
[2026/04/16 14:35] Joe: the dice roll gods are evil gods, of course theyre smiling
[2026/04/16 14:35] Mecha: oh wait does fluffles get claw claw bite?
[2026/04/16 14:35] Sonja Bikergrrl: roll 2d4
[2026/04/16 14:36] D4: Mecha rolls 2
[2026/04/16 14:36] D4: Mecha rolls 2
[2026/04/16 14:36] Sonja Bikergrrl: Bite attack only for canines
[2026/04/16 14:36] Mecha: okay
[2026/04/16 14:36] Sonja Bikergrrl: what was the target....
[2026/04/16 14:37] Sonja Bikergrrl: /me pokes Mecha
[2026/04/16 14:37] Mecha: the one Neopti was attacking
[2026/04/16 14:37] Sonja Bikergrrl: Nearest: Zergling
[2026/04/16 14:38] Sonja Bikergrrl: Fluffles sinks teeth into it, growling, and worries it back and forth. It dies in a fit of agonized squealing.
[2026/04/16 14:38] Sonja Bikergrrl: Joe!
[2026/04/16 14:39] Joe: Pepper the Zerg with arrows
[2026/04/16 14:39] Joe: now I have a bow of my very own
[2026/04/16 14:39] Sonja Bikergrrl: indeed!
[2026/04/16 14:39] Sonja Bikergrrl: Roll 2D20

[2026/04/16 14:40] Sonja Bikergrrl: roll some damage, d6!
[2026/04/16 14:40] D6: Joe rolls 1
[2026/04/16 14:40] Sonja Bikergrrl: Gaa!
[2026/04/16 14:40] Joe: hey i'm new to this archery thing
[2026/04/16 14:41] Sonja Bikergrrl: You stick an arrow in one. It barely notices... but you sure annoyed it. It growls angrily, glaring at you
[2026/04/16 14:41] Sonja Bikergrrl: end of combat round... back to the top....
[2026/04/16 14:42] Sonja Bikergrrl: One of the Zerglings, with an arrow stuck in it, charges Joe
[2026/04/16 14:42] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 13
[2026/04/16 14:42] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 10
[2026/04/16 14:42] Sonja Bikergrrl: one claw -narrowly- misses Joe!
[2026/04/16 14:42] Sonja Bikergrrl: The other goes for Neopli
[2026/04/16 14:42] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 19
[2026/04/16 14:42] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 12
[2026/04/16 14:43] Sonja Bikergrrl: no "narrow" about that....
[2026/04/16 14:43] D4: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 4
[2026/04/16 14:43] Sonja Bikergrrl: Neopli gets sliced for 4 damage!
[2026/04/16 14:43] Sonja Bikergrrl: Hydralisk returns favour to Gwen
[2026/04/16 14:43] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 14
[2026/04/16 14:43] Mecha: *Mistress.. the name is neopti*
[2026/04/16 14:43] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 13
[2026/04/16 14:44] Sonja Bikergrrl: One volley of spines are flung, and impale our Gwen.... the other volley misses
[2026/04/16 14:44] D6: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 3
[2026/04/16 14:44] Sonja Bikergrrl: 3 damage
[2026/04/16 14:45] Sapphire: what range are our foes right now?
[2026/04/16 14:45] Sonja Bikergrrl: The flying thing? Dives at Hudson, screeching loudly and spits out a bunch of flying, ricocheting.... well, you need to see them
[2026/04/16 14:45] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 8
[2026/04/16 14:46] Sonja Bikergrrl: That's a miss.
[2026/04/16 14:46] Sonja Bikergrrl: I think....
[2026/04/16 14:46] Sonja Bikergrrl: yep.
[2026/04/16 14:46] Sonja Bikergrrl: Various ranges
[2026/04/16 14:47] Sonja Bikergrrl: Hudson ignores the attack, focusing on the floating thing with his fire stick
[2026/04/16 14:47] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 8
[2026/04/16 14:47] Sonja Bikergrrl: /me facepalms
[2026/04/16 14:47] Sonja Bikergrrl: Sapphire! What do you plan doing.
[2026/04/16 14:47] Sonja Bikergrrl: None are close to you, all are in missile range.
[2026/04/16 14:48] Sapphire: side stepping the spines and answering back with arrows of my own, aiming mostly for the thing that tryed to take out Hudson.
[2026/04/16 14:48] D20: Sapphire rolls 7
[2026/04/16 14:48] D20: Sapphire rolls 7
[2026/04/16 14:48] Sonja Bikergrrl: 7 is usually lucky
[2026/04/16 14:48] Sonja Bikergrrl: double 7, doubly so
[2026/04/16 14:49] Sonja Bikergrrl: but I think you need more time at the archery range
[2026/04/16 14:49] Sonja Bikergrrl: Neopti!
[2026/04/16 14:50] Mecha: same plan charge nearest zergling and attack
[2026/04/16 14:50] D20: Mecha rolls 17
[2026/04/16 14:50] D20: Mecha rolls 1
[2026/04/16 14:51] Mecha: well, the umbrella hits
[2026/04/16 14:51] Sonja Bikergrrl: can't charge, since you're in melee range
[2026/04/16 14:51] Sonja Bikergrrl: it does! D6 as I remember?
[2026/04/16 14:51] D6: Mecha rolls 1
[2026/04/16 14:51] Sonja Bikergrrl: -.-
[2026/04/16 14:51] Sonja Bikergrrl: well, you annoyed it.
[2026/04/16 14:51] Mecha: Neopti is keeping her umbrella blade in the beasty
[2026/04/16 14:52] Sonja Bikergrrl: ...Fluffles!
[2026/04/16 14:52] D20: Mecha rolls 7
[2026/04/16 14:52] Sonja Bikergrrl: A growl and a snap. The growl hit, at least.
[2026/04/16 14:52] Sonja Bikergrrl: Joe!
[2026/04/16 14:53] Joe: The zerg is close enough for me to put a sword through it ?
[2026/04/16 14:53] Sonja Bikergrrl: You have a zergling right in front of you, waving claws in protest at your shooting it
[2026/04/16 14:53] D20: Joe rolls 7
[2026/04/16 14:53] Sonja Bikergrrl: Yes. Give it a go

[2026/04/16 14:53] Sonja Bikergrrl: A swing and a miss, it dodges.
[2026/04/16 14:54] Sonja Bikergrrl: end of round, back to the top

[2026/04/16 14:55] Sonja Bikergrrl: Naa.
[2026/04/16 14:55] Sonja Bikergrrl: Flying thing for Hudson
[2026/04/16 14:55] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 2
[2026/04/16 14:55] Sonja Bikergrrl: ...

[2026/04/16 14:57] Sonja Bikergrrl: it had nine hit points left
[2026/04/16 14:58] Sapphire: so now it has negative 1 hit point?
[2026/04/16 14:58] Sonja Bikergrrl: It dies in a fit of agony, tentacles flailing wildly as is spurts purple liquid and slams down to the ground.
[2026/04/16 14:58] Sonja Bikergrrl: The creatures it was with? start growling and snarling wildly
[2026/04/16 14:58] Sonja Bikergrrl: Sapphire! What you doing
[2026/04/16 15:00] Sapphire: how many zerg remain?
[2026/04/16 15:01] Sapphire: "Devouring beasts! Flee to your masters lest you die here today!"
[2026/04/16 15:01] Sonja Bikergrrl: two zerglings, one hydralisk, one flying creature, all in a sudden state of aggression
[2026/04/16 15:01] Sapphire: she'll launch arrows at the hydralisk

[2026/04/16 15:02] Sonja Bikergrrl: Neopti!
[2026/04/16 15:03] Mecha: Still got the blad in the zergling so gonna stab with the claw and then try to slash outwards with the umbrella blade
[2026/04/16 15:03] Sonja Bikergrrl: no... you got to make a new attack on a new round
[2026/04/16 15:03] Sonja Bikergrrl: so, roll 2D20
[2026/04/16 15:03] D20: Mecha rolls 1
[2026/04/16 15:03] D20: Mecha rolls 7
[2026/04/16 15:04] Sonja Bikergrrl: /me facepalms *fuck*
[2026/04/16 15:04] Sonja Bikergrrl: And Fluffles?
[2026/04/16 15:04] Mecha: right the slas was the new attack. it could have failed and jsut slid out of the wound doing no damage
[2026/04/16 15:04] D20: Mecha rolls 18
[2026/04/16 15:04] Sonja Bikergrrl: your dog is carrying the team
[2026/04/16 15:04] Sonja Bikergrrl: roll 2d4
[2026/04/16 15:04] D4: Mecha rolls 4
[2026/04/16 15:04] D4: Mecha rolls 3
[2026/04/16 15:05] Sonja Bikergrrl: There's a brief and rather one-sided struggle. Screeching, hissing, barking, and a fit of agony.
[2026/04/16 15:05] Sonja Bikergrrl: Joe!
[2026/04/16 15:05] Sonja Bikergrrl: please don't roll a 7.
[2026/04/16 15:05] D20: Joe rolls 11
[2026/04/16 15:06] Sonja Bikergrrl: roll d8 for damage
[2026/04/16 15:06] D8: Joe rolls 3
[2026/04/16 15:06] Sonja Bikergrrl: excellent, one less kill than a dog ;-)
[2026/04/16 15:07] Sonja Bikergrrl: hydralisk:
[2026/04/16 15:07] D6: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 2
[2026/04/16 15:07] Sonja Bikergrrl: Attacks flying creature.
[2026/04/16 15:07] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 6
[2026/04/16 15:07] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 15
[2026/04/16 15:07] Sonja Bikergrrl: successfully, on the second volley of spines
[2026/04/16 15:07] D6: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 5
[2026/04/16 15:08] Sonja Bikergrrl: It's still flying, and it....
[2026/04/16 15:08] D6: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 4
[2026/04/16 15:08] Sonja Bikergrrl: attacks back.
[2026/04/16 15:08] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 15
[2026/04/16 15:08] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 1
[2026/04/16 15:08] D6: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 1
[2026/04/16 15:08] D6: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 6
[2026/04/16 15:09] Sonja Bikergrrl: Hyrdalisk is showered with razor sharp shards for 7 damage.
[2026/04/16 15:09] Sapphire: Dog is MVP on this team
[2026/04/16 15:09] Sonja Bikergrrl: Hudson next, since the flying thing went for him, seems only fair to return favour
[2026/04/16 15:09] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 10
[2026/04/16 15:09] D6: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 6
[2026/04/16 15:09] D6: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 4
[2026/04/16 15:09] D6: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 2
[2026/04/16 15:10] Sonja Bikergrrl: The flying thing dies in a fit of agony and crashes to the ground.
[2026/04/16 15:10] Sonja Bikergrrl: Sapphire! One wounded hydralisk in a rage remains.
[2026/04/16 15:10] Mecha: This one doesn't know. Hudson is holding his own.
[2026/04/16 15:13] Sapphire: still arrow range or time to get in with a greatsword?
[2026/04/16 15:13] Sonja Bikergrrl: you can use either; sword implies you move up to melee range
[2026/04/16 15:13] Sapphire: Moving in to apply my sword to the monster, better they focus on me and my plate armor
[2026/04/16 15:13] Sonja Bikergrrl: roll d20
[2026/04/16 15:13] Sapphire: "Return to dust and ashes!"
[2026/04/16 15:14] D20: Sapphire rolls 16
[2026/04/16 15:14] D6: Sapphire rolls 1
[2026/04/16 15:14] D6: Sapphire rolls 1
[2026/04/16 15:14] Sapphire: ..>
[2026/04/16 15:14] Sapphire: ouch
[2026/04/16 15:14] Sonja Bikergrrl: /me blinks
[2026/04/16 15:14] Sonja Bikergrrl: well
[2026/04/16 15:14] Sonja Bikergrrl: two handed sword is 2d4, not 2d6
[2026/04/16 15:14] Sonja Bikergrrl: you can try with the correct dice
[2026/04/16 15:16] Sapphire: oh
[2026/04/16 15:16] Sapphire: i'm thinking of later editions
[2026/04/16 15:16] D4: Sapphire rolls 1
[2026/04/16 15:16] D4: Sapphire rolls 3
[2026/04/16 15:16] Sonja Bikergrrl: It looks very badly injured.
[2026/04/16 15:16] Sonja Bikergrrl: Neopti!
[2026/04/16 15:17] Mecha: second verse same as the first, slashy slashy. but first...
[2026/04/16 15:18] Sonja Bikergrrl: /me isn't going to like this...
[2026/04/16 15:18] Mecha: just messaged you about it
[2026/04/16 15:18] Sonja Bikergrrl: /me likes it!
[2026/04/16 15:18] D20: Mecha rolls 3
[2026/04/16 15:18] D20: Mecha rolls 15
[2026/04/16 15:18] D20: Mecha rolls 4
[2026/04/16 15:18] D20: Mecha rolls 17
[2026/04/16 15:18] D20: Mecha rolls 19
[2026/04/16 15:19] Mecha: *The 19 is for Fluffles*
[2026/04/16 15:19] Sonja Bikergrrl: okay... just as well, since... miss, miss.
[2026/04/16 15:19] Sonja Bikergrrl: Roll 2d4 for Fluffles
[2026/04/16 15:19] D4: Mecha rolls 2
[2026/04/16 15:19] D4: Mecha rolls 2
[2026/04/16 15:20] Sonja Bikergrrl: It goes down in a great gout of purple blood splashing everywhere
[2026/04/16 15:20] Mecha: So, what everyone saw was Neopti start acting a bit crazy with her attacks as if trying to get at least one kill, and is attcking more wildly than usual.
[2026/04/16 15:20] Sonja Bikergrrl: seems you defeated the first group.
[2026/04/16 15:20] Sonja Bikergrrl: violently
[2026/04/16 15:21] Sonja Bikergrrl: The second group (the flying creatures) are hanging well back.
[2026/04/16 15:22] Sonja Bikergrrl: Sapphire: roll D20
[2026/04/16 15:22] D20: Sapphire rolls 10
[2026/04/16 15:22] Mecha: Neopti pets fluffles."You did good my friend." before giving him a treat.
[2026/04/16 15:22] Sonja Bikergrrl: A brief examination, and you decide the zergling claws are comparable to daggers.
[2026/04/16 15:23] Sonja Bikergrrl: Fluffles: barks happily
[2026/04/16 15:23] Joe: I want to congratulate Fluffles, he can have some more dry rations
[2026/04/16 15:24] Sapphire: so not an upgrade
[2026/04/16 15:24] Sonja Bikergrrl: always give your dog plenty of water with dry food.
[2026/04/16 15:24] Sonja Bikergrrl: not as far as you can tell
[2026/04/16 15:24] Sapphire: does blood count?
[2026/04/16 15:24] Sonja Bikergrrl: sure, if it's Count Dogula.
[2026/04/16 15:24] Sonja Bikergrrl: now what you going to do?
[2026/04/16 15:25] Joe: Are the claws more or less sharp than steel ?
[2026/04/16 15:25] Joe: examining the corpses of all these demons
[2026/04/16 15:25] Sonja Bikergrrl: comparably sharp
[2026/04/16 15:26] Sapphire: "Hudson," she asks, "Think anyone is still alive in that town?"
[2026/04/16 15:26] Sonja Bikergrrl: although the hydralisk doesn't tend to fight with claws
[2026/04/16 15:26] Sonja Bikergrrl: Hudson: looks blank. His knowledge of your language doesn't cover that.
[2026/04/16 15:27] Mecha: *Be right back*
[2026/04/16 15:27] Joe: I want to fill a small sack with the claws. Wraping them in such a way as they will not cut through the sack by themselves.
[2026/04/16 15:27] Sonja Bikergrrl: Dr Voss opens her white box and rummages about, slaps some plasters on Neopli and gives her a white pill
[2026/04/16 15:27] D6: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 6
[2026/04/16 15:28] Sonja Bikergrrl: Neopti: regains 2hp
[2026/04/16 15:28] Sonja Bikergrrl: 3hp, not 2.
[2026/04/16 15:28] Sonja Bikergrrl: ....what.... are you going to do with claws....
[2026/04/16 15:29] Joe: I plan to make weapons
[2026/04/16 15:29] Sonja Bikergrrl: aye carumba.
[2026/04/16 15:29] Sapphire: or sell them as tools
[2026/04/16 15:29] Sonja Bikergrrl: 3 zerglings, 2 claws each... you get 6 claws
[2026/04/16 15:30] Sonja Bikergrrl: pretty sure no one is going to but ghastly sharp bent things as tools, when you got perfectly good iron tools.
[2026/04/16 15:31] Sonja Bikergrrl: Joe: gain 6 Zergling claws
[2026/04/16 15:31] Joe: I will continuously look around for any sticks which can be used to make a variety of types of weapons and booby traps
[2026/04/16 15:31] Sonja Bikergrrl: While you're doing this... the flying group remain just out of range.
[2026/04/16 15:31] Sonja Bikergrrl: Plenty of sticks in a rural setting
[2026/04/16 15:32] Sonja Bikergrrl: On to the settlement?
[2026/04/16 15:32] Joe: About these spines which the demon jettisoned previously, can I collect some of those also?
[2026/04/16 15:33] Mecha: sounds good
[2026/04/16 15:33] Sapphire: "Joe, what are you doing?"
[2026/04/16 15:33] Joe: "Gathering useful resources for our fight against the demons. To make weapons and booby traps."
[2026/04/16 15:33] Sonja Bikergrrl: I'm not so sure they're going to be useful; they're like... well, fir tree spines, but harder and sharper. There's probably better things than those.
[2026/04/16 15:34] Joe: Like needles?
[2026/04/16 15:34] Sapphire: "You think we're gonna be here more than a couple hours?"
[2026/04/16 15:34] Sonja Bikergrrl: iron nails are going to be much better than them.
[2026/04/16 15:34] Joe: "I plan to continue living to fight another day, for more than a couple of hours, yes."
[2026/04/16 15:35] Joe: I have no iron nails available. Are the spines like the ones on sea urchins?
[2026/04/16 15:35] Sonja Bikergrrl: Joe has learnt a valuable lesson from previous combats: Don't get killed ;-)
[2026/04/16 15:35] Sonja Bikergrrl: I guess, I'm no expert on sea urchins
[2026/04/16 15:36] Joe: like fir tree spines but harder and sharper. I will collect as many as I can until the others get bored of waiting and then I will run after them before they get to the buildings
[2026/04/16 15:36] Sonja Bikergrrl: they'll be quite useless.
[2026/04/16 15:36] Joe: i will take that on advice. Okay, on to the village
[2026/04/16 15:37] Sonja Bikergrrl: You notice something
[2026/04/16 15:37] Sonja Bikergrrl: The buildings are covered in some purple... stuff. As is the ground, hedges, bushes.... fences...
[2026/04/16 15:38] Sonja Bikergrrl: Someone want to roll a D20?
[2026/04/16 15:38] Sapphire: how's the stuff feel underfoot?
[2026/04/16 15:38] D20: Sapphire rolls 7
[2026/04/16 15:39] Sonja Bikergrrl: Gwen notices in a building or two, and a few dotted about the street... some rather rounded forms. They look like dead bodies, long since rotted and covered in that... purple stuff.
[2026/04/16 15:39] Sonja Bikergrrl: Slightly squishy, without being wet, Sapphire
[2026/04/16 15:41] Sapphire: curious...
[2026/04/16 15:41] Sapphire: "It's kinda like a giant mushroom."
[2026/04/16 15:41] Sonja Bikergrrl: moving on to the blacksmith? That'll be the large, open structure with what looks like a big stone forge and racks that might once have held tools
[2026/04/16 15:42] Sapphire: "Let's look for survivors."
[2026/04/16 15:42] Sonja Bikergrrl: Sapphire: 100% correct observation.
[2026/04/16 15:42] Sapphire: ♥
[2026/04/16 15:42] Sonja Bikergrrl: it's -very- fungal in nature
[2026/04/16 15:42] Sonja Bikergrrl: so... blacksmith....
[2026/04/16 15:43] Sonja Bikergrrl: who shall we start with
[2026/04/16 15:43] Sapphire: Joe
[2026/04/16 15:43] Sonja Bikergrrl: Sapphire! If I said "armour or weapon" which would you choose.
[2026/04/16 15:43] Sapphire: he keeps picking up everything in sight, he should have a field day in the shop
[2026/04/16 15:43] Sapphire: in Gwens case? probably armor
[2026/04/16 15:44] Sonja Bikergrrl: you find some chain mail, it's surprisingly clean, looks like it's made of silver.
[2026/04/16 15:44] Sonja Bikergrrl: Joe! Same question.
[2026/04/16 15:45] Sonja Bikergrrl: Also Neopti
[2026/04/16 15:45] Sapphire: collecting it into a pack for now... getting naked in a hostile area seems unwise
[2026/04/16 15:46] Sonja Bikergrrl: /me won't say if she has a zerg sex plot or not.
[2026/04/16 15:46] Joe: Armour also
[2026/04/16 15:47] Sonja Bikergrrl: Joe likewise finds some gleaming, silvery chain mail.
[2026/04/16 15:47] Mecha: weapon
[2026/04/16 15:47] D4: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 4
[2026/04/16 15:48] Sonja Bikergrrl: You find what looks like a hammer, etched with runes.
[2026/04/16 15:48] Joe: smiles at the party at our discoveries
[2026/04/16 15:48] Sonja Bikergrrl: well, you were told you'd find things you need... seems you found things
[2026/04/16 15:49] Sonja Bikergrrl: Exit stage left, back to the Githyanki ship?
[2026/04/16 15:50] Joe: Not wanting to appear greedy but I have to ask, are there useful blacksmiths tools
[2026/04/16 15:50] Sonja Bikergrrl: Oddly, none that you can see
[2026/04/16 15:50] Sapphire: "The anvil is too heavy to move."
[2026/04/16 15:51] Sonja Bikergrrl: so... heading back... two things that you notice
[2026/04/16 15:52] Sapphire: oh?
[2026/04/16 15:52] Sonja Bikergrrl: 1. There's a second Githyanki ship, with what looks like a party of hobgoblins departing and heading towards the settlement you left.
[2026/04/16 15:53] Sapphire: Gwen raises her arm to wave to them.
[2026/04/16 15:53] Sonja Bikergrrl: 2. The Githyanki actually welcome you back.... with at least a touch more respect than before. Captain K'a'an: "So, you survived? Good... that's very good... for you...."
[2026/04/16 15:54] Sapphire: "Did you know everyone there is already dead?"
[2026/04/16 15:54] Sonja Bikergrrl: We'll ID the items you picked up and award XP next time. I think everyone gains a level but don't hold me to that.
[2026/04/16 15:54] Sonja Bikergrrl: Roll D20, Sapphire
[2026/04/16 15:54] D20: Sapphire rolls 9
[2026/04/16 15:55] Sonja Bikergrrl: Judging by the haughty expression and smirk that K'a'an gives you... you get the feeling that yes, he's fully aware... it's where the Githyanki train new recruits.
[2026/04/16 15:56] Joe: Asking Captain Ka'an "Do you know the people on that other ship?"
[2026/04/16 15:56] Sonja Bikergrrl: Captain K'a'an just rolls his eyes.
[2026/04/16 15:56] Sonja Bikergrrl: Right... we'll leave it there.... and we'll see what happens next week.
[2026/04/16 15:57] Sonja Bikergrrl: What did you notice this week... did you notice anything at all?
[2026/04/16 15:57] Sonja Bikergrrl: tune in next week to find out!
[2026/04/16 15:57] Sapphire: fungal mats spread the Zerg terretory claims
[2026/04/16 15:58] Sapphire: and they can bleed
[2026/04/16 15:58] Joe: thanks DungeonMistress
[2026/04/16 15:58] Sapphire: thanks Dungeon Mistress
[2026/04/16 15:58] Sapphire: ♥
