The Burial Mound
[2025/05/29 14:09] Sonja Bikergrrl: I'll be finishing a bit sharpish tonight, I start work at 6am. That's just under 8hrs from now
[2025/05/29 14:09] Sonja Bikergrrl: and we might start without Sapphire
[2025/05/29 14:09] Martina: I have early start tomorrow too so tatas fine
[2025/05/29 14:09] Martina: thats^^
[2025/05/29 14:10] Sonja Bikergrrl: I am now streaming music at: http://81.133.27.194:8000
[2025/05/29 14:10] Sonja Bikergrrl: It's either suitable mood music or my ipod library. Feel free to tune in!
[2025/05/29 14:10] Sonja Bikergrrl: =^..^= Music now on! =^..^=
[2025/05/29 14:10] Sonja Bikergrrl: We are indeed going to have some music! Hope you like it. Don't listen if you don't, your call.
[2025/05/29 14:11] Sonja Bikergrrl: Sapphire! Just in time.
[2025/05/29 14:16] Sonja Bikergrrl: Right! All updated all got sheets and music is rolling and I'm not stopping for punctuation!
[2025/05/29 14:17] Sonja Bikergrrl: It's a day or two after Bartholomew Overcoat have you the ultimatum to surrender or DIE.
[2025/05/29 14:17] Sonja Bikergrrl: Mmhmm
[2025/05/29 14:17] Andreas: 0_0 no punctuation
[2025/05/29 14:17] Sonja Bikergrrl: No time for it, Andreas. The Great Troll Army is coming, after all.
[2025/05/29 14:18] Mecha: What has the town decided? We're not running the town
[2025/05/29 14:18] Sapphire: Te'ala is gathering all her stuff together on the presumption things are likely to need to move out on short notice.
[2025/05/29 14:18] Sonja Bikergrrl: It's early morning, you are in the Hook, Line & Sinker Tavern, having breakfast. Al seems surprisingly cheerful, despite the impending doom, and the fact she's got a great bruise on the side of her face.
[2025/05/29 14:19] Sapphire: "Morning, Al."
[2025/05/29 14:19] Sonja Bikergrrl: Al: "It's my birthday soon. I'm going to need so many candles it's going to look like a pizza of fire. Hopefully it's a better day than last year - I ordered a statue of myself, but when it came it just wasn't scaled right. I was spitting fire, I can tell you!"
[2025/05/29 14:19] Sonja Bikergrrl: She looks at each of you, smiling.
[2025/05/29 14:19] Sonja Bikergrrl: Martina, let's start with you :)
[2025/05/29 14:20] Andreas: /me grins back "you look great today"
[2025/05/29 14:20] Mecha: Lahli looks at her and the bruise."Hey, are you okay?"
[2025/05/29 14:20] Sonja Bikergrrl: Al: "Of course, why ever not?"
[2025/05/29 14:20] Martina: so Al, whats the mood in the town now, what have they decided?
[2025/05/29 14:21] Sonja Bikergrrl: Al: "Well... we don't really have an army, so... everyone would rather not die."
[2025/05/29 14:21] Mecha: Um..." She motions to the bruise, but pauses. not sure what to say.
[2025/05/29 14:21] Martina: so, surrender then, unless we can come up with a cunning plan to beat the Great Troll army?
[2025/05/29 14:22] Sonja Bikergrrl: Al: "What? OH. That. Bit embarassing, really."
[2025/05/29 14:22] Sonja Bikergrrl: Al, to Martina: "Yes, even -with- an army, how could we defeat an army of giant insatiable killing monsters."
[2025/05/29 14:23] Sapphire: The elven druid moves to take a seat, listening. "I was under the impression humans swore to kings to protect themselves. Has yours declined to answer their duties?"
[2025/05/29 14:23] Martina: giggles... "Well I did say cunning! Has anyone in the town ever had dealings with them?"
[2025/05/29 14:24] Sonja Bikergrrl: Al: "Like I said... even -with- an army, how do you defeat an army of giant insatiable unkillable monsters?"
[2025/05/29 14:24] Mecha: Lahli: Well if you want to talk about it you got an ear here, but I wont push.
[2025/05/29 14:24] Sonja Bikergrrl: Al to Mecha: "Well, One bustling evening at the tavern, I attempted to impress a rowdy group of patrons by flambéing a giant skillet of stew, but I accidentally igniting a flambé frenzy that sent flames licking toward the ceiling. In my frantic dash to extinguish the fire, I tripped over a precariously stacked pile of cast iron pots, which cascaded onto me with a cacophonous clang."
[2025/05/29 14:25] Andreas: /me "Al, I'm gonna need more beer, who knows, maybe it's last time" grins (brb 5 mins)
[2025/05/29 14:25] Mecha: oh jeeze I am sorry to hear that."
[2025/05/29 14:26] Sonja Bikergrrl: Al: "Thank you. Well, as I flailed wildly, I bumped into the swinging kitchen door, which swings open and then swung back, smacking me squarely on the forehead. Then, a mischievous rat, startled by the chaos, scurried across the counter, knocking over a jar of pickled onions that spilt onto the floor, further adding to the chaos and causing the cook to use some colorful language as he slipped and skidded about, waving his rolling pin wildly in the air."
[2025/05/29 14:27] Sonja Bikergrrl: Al (sigh): "At that point, the distracted cook tried to grab a stray pan, but accidentally whacked a bowl of guacamole and sent it flying across the kitchen. It got me squarely in the face!"
[2025/05/29 14:27] Sapphire: "Sounds like a very chaotic day."
[2025/05/29 14:27] Sonja Bikergrrl: Al: "Oh, it was! Then I ran out of the kitchen, but I couldn't see because of the guacamole all over my face, so of course I had my hands stretched out in front, and I ran out of the swinging doors and bumped into an elderly cleric. That's when the cleric smacked me about my head with his holy book, shouting about undead should be banished from bars and bellowing out the prayer to Turn Undead, and that's when I got the bruise."
[2025/05/29 14:29] Mecha: Lahli just blinks at that story. that level of chaos... I swear Ihad nothing to do with it
[2025/05/29 14:29] Martina: wow, what a completely strange and random set of mishaps
[2025/05/29 14:29] Sonja Bikergrrl: Al: gives you all a rather wide and very toothy grin
[2025/05/29 14:30] Sonja Bikergrrl: At about this ttime.... A terrified peasant stumbles in. She's wide-eyed and terrified and speaks of an evil that has been stirred up near her village.
[2025/05/29 14:31] Sapphire: Which village?
[2025/05/29 14:31] Sonja Bikergrrl: Village girl: "Rathtoole!"
[2025/05/29 14:32] Martina: and what do you mean by 'evil'?
[2025/05/29 14:32] Sonja Bikergrrl: Village girl: "Livestock, and, occasionally some villagers, have gone missing - feared consumed by evil, vengeful spirits from a nearby burial mound!"
[2025/05/29 14:33] Martina: and who's buried in that mound that could have stirred the evil goings-on?
[2025/05/29 14:34] Sonja Bikergrrl: Village girl: "We don't know - nor did we care to know, we're simple folk and have no truck with ancient evils."
[2025/05/29 14:34] Mecha: Maybe we should check it out. Something to do while the city officials decide on this whole invasion thing
[2025/05/29 14:35] Martina: then how do you know its a 'burial' mound and not something else?
[2025/05/29 14:35] Sonja Bikergrrl: Village girl: "Because outsiders came and started digging and bringing up skeletons!"
[2025/05/29 14:36] Sapphire: "Did the great wizard...." she pauses, name escaping her, "...mention anything of necromancy?
[2025/05/29 14:37] Sonja Bikergrrl: roll d20, Sapphire
[2025/05/29 14:38] Andreas: /me is wondering about necromancy and bbq sauce
[2025/05/29 14:39] Sonja Bikergrrl: Someone else want to chance the d20?
[2025/05/29 14:39] D20: Martina rolls 8
[2025/05/29 14:39] D20: Andreas rolls 17
[2025/05/29 14:40] Martina: go with andreas roll, mine was just a tester :)
[2025/05/29 14:40] D20: Sapphire rolls 12
[2025/05/29 14:40] Sapphire: Sorry about that
[2025/05/29 14:40] Sonja Bikergrrl: Martina remembers - the Black Wizard Thargon. No mention was made of necromancy... but no mention was made that he -wasn't-. Still.... he doesn't -sound- like a necromancer, considering he has an army of trolls.
[2025/05/29 14:42] Sonja Bikergrrl: Gith’Ro Tull, the half-elf bard who told you the tale of Kelly An Daerg wanders over. "This could be an important part of the story of Kelly An Daerg. It's said not -all- her warriors perished at Lough Fathom. And Rathtoole is not far from the bog."
[2025/05/29 14:42] Sapphire: "her warriors were loyal to her directly?"
[2025/05/29 14:43] Martina: maybe we should go check it out, maybe there might be a way to use kelly's army against the trolls
[2025/05/29 14:43] Sonja Bikergrrl: Gith’Ro Tull: "It's said they were loyal to the death for her."
[2025/05/29 14:44] Martina: so, if we can communicate with Kelly, she may be able to raise an army of undead against the troll army
[2025/05/29 14:44] Mecha: Lahli hears Martina and just looks at her before breaking the 4th wall with help from the traveller and brings down...
[14:34] Mecha: Maybe we should check it out. Something to do while the city officials decide on this whole invasion thing
[2025/05/29 14:45] Sonja Bikergrrl: /me isn't sure how this breaks the 4th wall, but will let that slide
[2025/05/29 14:46] Martina: what's the 4th wall?
[2025/05/29 14:46] Sonja Bikergrrl: the one just to my right
[2025/05/29 14:46] Mecha: *Lahli just pulled Mechas post down and shows it off*
[2025/05/29 14:47] Sapphire: "I'm curious how Thargon will answer my question, as well."
[2025/05/29 14:47] Sonja Bikergrrl: Al: "Why, this sounds like a grave matter indeed, but I'm sure the adventurers are just dying to help, and put this to rest. They'll dig into this mystery!"
[2025/05/29 14:47] Sonja Bikergrrl: So. To Rathtoole?
[2025/05/29 14:48] Mecha: Sounds good
[2025/05/29 14:48] Sonja Bikergrrl: All agreed?
[2025/05/29 14:49] Martina: yes
[2025/05/29 14:49] Sonja Bikergrrl: Al: "Guess I'll SEE YOU later - or should I say... Bone Voyage! HA HA HA!"
[2025/05/29 14:49] Sapphire: awww, are we skipping Te'ala's question about what Thargon knowns of the White Rot?
[2025/05/29 14:49] Sonja Bikergrrl: Sapphire: the Black Wizard isn't present to ask.
[2025/05/29 14:51] Sapphire: is he not coming later today?
[2025/05/29 14:51] Sonja Bikergrrl: ...he's probably with his Great Troll Army
[2025/05/29 14:52] Sonja Bikergrrl: I'm sure when you meet him you can ask him.
[2025/05/29 14:52] Sapphire: Alright
[2025/05/29 14:52] Sapphire: Will stay with the party
[2025/05/29 14:53] Sonja Bikergrrl: meanwhile! It's a fair hike to Rathtoole. You can go through the bog, or... round the bog. Longer, but less vengeful banshees.
[2025/05/29 14:54] Sonja Bikergrrl: You're -almost- there, passing a particularly thick area of the forest when....
[2025/05/29 14:54] Sonja Bikergrrl: /me pauses, to see who's paying attention
[2025/05/29 14:54] Martina: gets ready for a plot-twist
[2025/05/29 14:55] Sonja Bikergrrl: You encounter a towering figure standing at nearly eleven feet tall, with a sturdy build covered in a coat of soft, mossy green fur that blends seamlessly with the forest surroundings. His large ears, slightly pointed and tufted at the tips, twitch in the slightest breeze, enhancing his keen senses. His gentle, wise brown eyes reflect his deep connection to nature, revealing a soul that is as nurturing as it is protective. He wears simple garments crafted from leaves and natural fibers, adorned with small trinkets that signify his bond with various woodland creatures. A staff made from an ancient oak, entwined with vines, serves as both a walking aid and a symbol of his deep-rooted magic.
[2025/05/29 14:56] Sapphire: Forest does little to alarm the elf. An eleven foot person does somewhat more, though she offers a pleasant wave. "Hello! A pleasure to meet you," She bows, rather deeply in fact, keeping her shield arm at her side.
[2025/05/29 14:56] Martina: follows Sapphires lead and bows too
[2025/05/29 14:57] Mecha: Lahli is just looking at him curiously."Nope this is not my area of expertise." Before bowing as well
[2025/05/29 14:57] Sonja Bikergrrl: The giant figure eyes Lahlia, Te'ala, Martina, Andreas, then his gaze returns to Te'ala, who he looks at for a few moments intently.
[2025/05/29 14:57] Sonja Bikergrrl: "Well met, travellers, who are you and why are you trespassing in my woods?"
[2025/05/29 14:58] Martina: answers "Well met Sir, we are on our way to rathtoole to investigate some strange occurrences there"
[2025/05/29 14:59] Martina: "we di not relaise we were trespassing, we are truly sorry"
[2025/05/29 14:59] Sonja Bikergrrl: The giant nods. "Then I'll ask that you leave my territory and tell no one of our meeting."
[2025/05/29 14:59] Sapphire: "I am Te'ala of White Pine, from across the eastern sea. I find myself on the shores assisting a somewhat assorted band of adventurers in their quest to... at the moment we are investigating rumors of someone extracting the dead from their rightful burial mound."
[2025/05/29 15:00] Sonja Bikergrrl: Giant: "I know nothing of burial mounds and I urge you to leave any dead alone. But, you are outsiders, you are not welcome here. I must ask that you leave here and keep your knowledge of these woods secret to yourselves."
[2025/05/29 15:01] Mecha: Wait, what secrets?
[2025/05/29 15:02] Sonja Bikergrrl: > "keep your knowledge of these woods secret to yourselves
[2025/05/29 15:02] Sonja Bikergrrl: ie., tell no one what you have seen/met
[2025/05/29 15:02] Martina: I think an 11 foot figure is secret enough
[2025/05/29 15:03] Sapphire: "We shall do so. Though be aware we found this place simply by taking the long way around the swamp, and there is a wizard pushing an army of trolls through this area in the not too distant future. I big you luck and success in keeping them clear of your lands."
[2025/05/29 15:03] Sapphire: bid*
[2025/05/29 15:04] Sonja Bikergrrl: Giant: "We know nothing about any wizards or trolls. We prefer to mind our own business, and would like it very much if other folk would extend us the same courtesy."
[2025/05/29 15:05] Mecha: Lahli looks at him, well good luck with that."So how about we try a different route that doesn't bring us through tall guys land
[2025/05/29 15:06] Sonja Bikergrrl: Giant: "I would thank you just to leave and tell no one of us." he bows and starts to back into the woods, while looking at Te'ala still.
[2025/05/29 15:06] Martina: "Maybe you could escort us to the border of your land in the direction of Rathtoole kind Sir, then you can be assured we have left your land?"
[2025/05/29 15:07] Sonja Bikergrrl: Giant (from the edge of the forest): "We'll know. We see more than you."
[2025/05/29 15:07] Martina: well, that was fun, now lets get moving before he gets annoyed
[2025/05/29 15:08] Sonja Bikergrrl: Onwards?
[2025/05/29 15:08] Sapphire: She nods to him and moves to leave as well.
[2025/05/29 15:08] Martina: yes, onwards
[2025/05/29 15:08] Sonja Bikergrrl: /me chuckles, astounded at how rarely you ask for names.... so! Onwards it is.
[2025/05/29 15:09] Sonja Bikergrrl: You finally come to a collection of cottages, the village girl brightens. "Rathtoole!"
[2025/05/29 15:09] Mecha: Lahli is following the group."So, now what?"
[2025/05/29 15:09] Sapphire: How many in a "collection" ?
[2025/05/29 15:10] Sonja Bikergrrl: roll d6
[2025/05/29 15:10] Sonja Bikergrrl: Someone :)
[2025/05/29 15:10] D6: Mecha rolls 5
[2025/05/29 15:11] D6: Sapphire rolls 5
[2025/05/29 15:11] Sonja Bikergrrl: Five cottages and what looks like a small blacksmith. A big muscular guy is walking out, carrying a forge hammer.
[2025/05/29 15:12] Martina: (afk 2 minutes, brb)
[2025/05/29 15:13] Sonja Bikergrrl: Andreas? What do you say/do?
[2025/05/29 15:13] Sapphire: Te'ala waves in greetings.
[2025/05/29 15:15] Mecha: Lahli waves as well."Where are we?"
[2025/05/29 15:15] Sonja Bikergrrl: The village girl runs to him and he scoops her up in a hug. To you: "Well met, strangers!" and to the girl: "Is this the help you brought, daughter?"
[2025/05/29 15:16] Sonja Bikergrrl: Guy with forge hammer: "The fair village of Rathtoole. Have you come to help us?"
[2025/05/29 15:19] Mecha: I think so." Lahli looks at the others for confirmation.
[2025/05/29 15:19] Sapphire: "It would seem," she answers.
[2025/05/29 15:19] Andreas: /me "nice hammer sir, do you have any nice weapons in your shop?"
[2025/05/29 15:19] Sonja Bikergrrl: Guy with forge hammer: "I got some hammers, and a saw, and a plough.... we're just simple folk."
[2025/05/29 15:20] Sonja Bikergrrl: Guy with forge hammer: "You've heard we're being plagued by the walking dead? They're roaming and ravaging the area."
[2025/05/29 15:21] Mecha: Does anyone have an idea what caused this?
[2025/05/29 15:21] Sonja Bikergrrl: Who are you asking?
[2025/05/29 15:21] Mecha: Guy with hammer
[2025/05/29 15:21] Sapphire: Presumably the person talking to us.
[2025/05/29 15:22] Martina: that'll be the Blacksmith then
[2025/05/29 15:23] Sonja Bikergrrl: Guy with forge hammer. "Aye... it's that accursed burial mound. We've lived here in peace for as long as we can remember - we left it alone, it left us alone! Then outsiders came, and started digging. They brought this on us!"
[2025/05/29 15:23] Martina: "Are these outsiders still here?"
[2025/05/29 15:23] Sapphire: "What do you know of the outsiders mister Smith?"
[2025/05/29 15:23] Sonja Bikergrrl: Blacksmith: "Aye, and still digging, drot them!"
[2025/05/29 15:24] Martina: "Could you take us to them?"
[2025/05/29 15:24] Sonja Bikergrrl: Blacksmith: "They are a large band, they set up camp and started digging, they have thunder staves."
[2025/05/29 15:25] Martina: thinder staves = dynamite?
[2025/05/29 15:25] Sonja Bikergrrl: Blacksmith: "They're right there" *points* you can see a low hill not too far away
[2025/05/29 15:25] Mecha: Do you not have a cleric to turn these undead?
[2025/05/29 15:25] Sonja Bikergrrl: Blacksmith: "We know nothing of these die-nah-might you mention."
[2025/05/29 15:26] Sonja Bikergrrl: Blacksmith rolls his eyes. "We brought a cleric from the next village, but the undead you speak of only come out at night."
[2025/05/29 15:27] Martina: "do they have sticks that go bang and blow large holes in the ground?"
[2025/05/29 15:27] Sonja Bikergrrl: Blacksmith: "We don't know, they got staves that thunder and belch smoke."
[2025/05/29 15:27] Mecha: Lahli just rolls her eyes."So much for saving the world before bedtime."
[2025/05/29 15:28] Sapphire: "Interesting. have they announced the name of their band?"
[2025/05/29 15:28] Martina: "ok, guess we need to go talk to them and find out what they're up to then"
[2025/05/29 15:29] Sonja Bikergrrl: Blacksmith (getting annoyed): "You're not from around here, are ye? Are ye just here to have a laugh at us culshies, is that the craic?"
[2025/05/29 15:30] Martina: laughs "No-one's having the craic while all this is going on, maybe we can stop it and let you get on with your lives"
[2025/05/29 15:30] Sonja Bikergrrl: Blacksmith: "Well ye better get on with it!"
[2025/05/29 15:30] Mecha: Lahli shakes her head. "No more like laughing at the cleric that came from out of town, unable to work at night. A good cleric should be able to help, Day or night"
[2025/05/29 15:31] Sapphire: Te'ala eyes this smith, noticing they haven't actually offered any particular reward for help, and are then getting annoyed with questions.
[2025/05/29 15:31] Sonja Bikergrrl: Blacksmith: "Aye, well, the old fellah is ninety and did us a favour coming out at all. Now if you don't mind, I got work to do. Come along, daughter." He stamps back to the blacksmithy.
[2025/05/29 15:32] Sonja Bikergrrl: (This is only the second time you've pissed the natives off lol)
[2025/05/29 15:33] Martina: guess we're off to the low hill then?
[2025/05/29 15:33] Mecha: Lahli nods and waves."Sorry if I upset you." She called to the blacksmith, before turning away."Let's go help."
[2025/05/29 15:33] Sonja Bikergrrl: Well, the hill can't be more'n half a mile, if that.
[2025/05/29 15:34] Sapphire: "Perhaps cautiously. I am very... concerned what these grave robbers are actually up to. Perhaps simply collecting grave goods. But why so many?"
[2025/05/29 15:34] Sonja Bikergrrl: (Maybe a more diplomatic approach would've got a piece of vital information you now are missing... just sayin'!)
[2025/05/29 15:35] Sapphire: (( Well, i try to be nice... ))
[2025/05/29 15:35] Sonja Bikergrrl: So, to the mound?
[2025/05/29 15:36] Sapphire: Seems like. But at a distance to scout.
[2025/05/29 15:37] Sonja Bikergrrl: You approach... and quickly notice what looks like a suspiciously new watch tower rising up above a freshly-built pallisade, concealing what seems to be a sizeable camp
[2025/05/29 15:38] Martina: can we see how many people are there and what sort of clothing they have?
[2025/05/29 15:38] Sonja Bikergrrl: You'll need to get closer or spy somehow.
[2025/05/29 15:40] Sonja Bikergrrl: Mecha! What you going to do.
[2025/05/29 15:40] Sapphire: Hmmmmmmm
[2025/05/29 15:40] Sapphire: Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
[2025/05/29 15:40] Sapphire: How far away are we from the watch tower when we see it?
[2025/05/29 15:41] Sonja Bikergrrl: Probably quarter of a mile, give or take.
[2025/05/29 15:41] Martina: and is there anyone in it?
[2025/05/29 15:41] Sonja Bikergrrl: d20, minus 4 penalty, Martina
[2025/05/29 15:41] D20: Martina rolls 7
[2025/05/29 15:41] Sonja Bikergrrl: it looks empty.
[2025/05/29 15:42] Mecha: Lahli thinks about this but does not have a plan
[2025/05/29 15:42] Sonja Bikergrrl: Andreas?
[2025/05/29 15:42] D20: Andreas rolls 7
[2025/05/29 15:42] Sonja Bikergrrl: *GIGGLES* was asking what you plan?
[2025/05/29 15:42] Martina: tower doesnt seem to be manned, lets creep closer and see what we can
[2025/05/29 15:43] Sapphire: "They might man it at any time, but agreed."
[2025/05/29 15:43] Mecha: Sure thing, lead the way
[2025/05/29 15:43] Sonja Bikergrrl: Someone roll a d6
[2025/05/29 15:43] D6: Martina rolls 5
[2025/05/29 15:43] Sonja Bikergrrl: You approach. You get closer. Nothing seems to happen.
[2025/05/29 15:45] Sapphire: A -quarter- mile you said? So we should be quite close by now.
[2025/05/29 15:45] Martina: can we see over the walls, is there anyone in sight?
[2025/05/29 15:46] Sonja Bikergrrl: The walls look rather tall. You could get to the walls and maybe stand on someones' shoulders
[2025/05/29 15:46] Mecha: Lahli thinks this is going too easy so she begins looking in other directions
[2025/05/29 15:46] Sonja Bikergrrl: Yes, Sapphire, you said "out to scout"
[2025/05/29 15:46] Sonja Bikergrrl: Lahli?
[2025/05/29 15:47] Mecha: Yes?
[2025/05/29 15:47] Sapphire: Fair. Any sign of a gate?
[2025/05/29 15:47] Sonja Bikergrrl: ....what are you doing, dear?
[2025/05/29 15:48] Sonja Bikergrrl: Why yes. Just to one side, right under the tower, a narrow gate one person could fit through, if it was open.
[2025/05/29 15:49] Mecha: Lahli thinks this is going too easy so she begins looking in other directions
[2025/05/29 15:49] Martina: gets Andreas to give her a bunk-up to look over the wall
[2025/05/29 15:49] Sapphire: So the tower is part of the wall of the palisade?
[2025/05/29 15:49] Sonja Bikergrrl: the tower is inside the palisade.
[2025/05/29 15:50] Martina: Carefully incase someone is inside watching
[2025/05/29 15:50] Sonja Bikergrrl: so, you're going to approach the palisade, Martina?
[2025/05/29 15:50] Martina: only way to find out whats going on inside, unless someone has far-sight or an invisibility spell?
[2025/05/29 15:51] Sonja Bikergrrl: okay.... roll d20
[2025/05/29 15:51] D20: Martina rolls 16
[2025/05/29 15:51] Sonja Bikergrrl: Oh my.
[2025/05/29 15:51] Martina: ohoh, that dont sound good
[2025/05/29 15:51] Sonja Bikergrrl: As you approach the palisade, it suddenly falls towards you with a loud BANG
[2025/05/29 15:51] Sapphire: Te'ala considers, and looks for tracks of these people going in or out, or any sign they're.... oh.
[2025/05/29 15:52] Sapphire: Retreat!
[2025/05/29 15:52] Sonja Bikergrrl: And A bunch of howling mens wearing grayish butternut-colored uniforms, with kepi caps and brass buttons, carrying muskets with bayonets attached, they come charging at you, a hundred or maybe more!
[2025/05/29 15:52] Sonja Bikergrrl: And behind them, an older guy, their leader, with a beard and a moustache, and he shouts after them.....
[2025/05/29 15:52] Sonja Bikergrrl: "GIVE 'EM THE CLIFF 'ANGER, BOYS!"
[2025/05/29 15:53] Martina: giggles, spot on!
[2025/05/29 15:54] Mecha: /me chuckles.
[2025/05/29 15:54] Sonja Bikergrrl: /me finally finishes laughing... she just thought that up literally ten minutes ago
[2025/05/29 15:55] Sonja Bikergrrl: Well, I hope you enjoyed that, and recover from your heart attacks in good time for next week.
[2025/05/29 15:55] Sapphire: Wait, literally a hundred guys?
[2025/05/29 15:56] Sonja Bikergrrl: /me waits for Sapphire to catch up.
[2025/05/29 15:56] Mecha: Lol :)
[2025/05/29 15:56] Sonja Bikergrrl: That's the cliffhanger, dear, we adjorn until next week now.
[2025/05/29 15:58] Martina: ok, time to visit bedfordshire for me then, thanks all and see you
