[2025/06/19 14:04] Andreas: okay I'm ready for carnage, chickens or burritos whatever the naughty DM prepared for us =)
[2025/06/19 14:06] Sonja Bikergrrl: we didn't play last week, did we?
[2025/06/19 14:06] Andreas: nope we didn't
[2025/06/19 14:06] Sonja Bikergrrl: ...why not....?
[2025/06/19 14:07] Andreas: dunno, some RL stuff afaik
[2025/06/19 14:07] Sonja Bikergrrl: Sapphire? Mecha?
[2025/06/19 14:08] Andreas: traveling or so, if I remember correctly
[2025/06/19 14:08] Mecha: Ummm, think we were missing people or something
[2025/06/19 14:08] Sonja Bikergrrl: damned if I remember any of that
[2025/06/19 14:09] Sonja Bikergrrl: and that was last week?
[2025/06/19 14:09] Andreas: yeah
[2025/06/19 14:09] Sapphire: yeah, I was on road trip
[2025/06/19 14:09] Sonja Bikergrrl: road trip.... that was last week?
[2025/06/19 14:10] Sapphire: ye
[2025/06/19 14:11] Sonja Bikergrrl: fuck.
[2025/06/19 14:11] Sonja Bikergrrl: and I got notes here.... which... don't seem to relate to anything...
[2025/06/19 14:12] Sonja Bikergrrl: okay... I'd say the pressure finally got to me, but, what pressure
[2025/06/19 14:12] Sonja Bikergrrl: /me cracks knuckles, opens NCs and raises DM screen, so no one can see her incompetence or boobage
[2025/06/19 14:13] Sonja Bikergrrl: GGGGRRREEEEEETTTTIIINNNGGGGSSSSS Adventurers, welcome to Trolls & Tribulations!
[2025/06/19 14:13] Andreas: magic cookies and late night witchcraft with extended spanking I guess =)
[2025/06/19 14:13] Sonja Bikergrrl: Nobody appear to be wounded
[2025/06/19 14:14] Andreas: /me not yet and how many are missing?
[2025/06/19 14:14] Sonja Bikergrrl: you are currently under a burial mound, very well lit, mostly cleared out, as a gang of hobgblin archaeologists are excavating the site, at the behest of the Black Wizard Thargon
[2025/06/19 14:15] Sapphire: *ponders if they remember this bit9
[2025/06/19 14:15] Sonja Bikergrrl: and they've asked you to go into the mound to rescue the foreman, who himself went to rescue a few missing hobgoblins
[2025/06/19 14:16] Sapphire: Ah yes, and we... agreed for some reason
[2025/06/19 14:16] Sonja Bikergrrl: you've seen a lot of murals that depict a story, and there's been undead babbling bizarre things. You may recall that.
[2025/06/19 14:16] Sapphire: information?
[2025/06/19 14:16] Sonja Bikergrrl: what?
[2025/06/19 14:18] Sonja Bikergrrl: ?
[2025/06/19 14:18] Sapphire: did we agree becasue we were getting paid in information or in a favor of some sort?
[2025/06/19 14:18] Mecha: dead body crawling at us, german suplex and then its head is crushed and Lahli ends up with a bit of brain and blood in her mouth
[2025/06/19 14:18] Sonja Bikergrrl: Because you're such nice and helpful types, I'm sure
[2025/06/19 14:19] Sonja Bikergrrl: so... to remind you where you are.... "The ceremonial sacrifice room within the burial mound is dimly lit by the lanterns mounted on the walls. The air is heavy with the scent of incense mingled with damp earth, creating an atmosphere steeped in reverence and foreboding. In the center lies a circular stone altar, weathered and adorned with intricate carvings - The altar has been moved, and steps lead down into darkness."
[2025/06/19 14:19] Andreas: /me "eeewww, pitty we don't have the BBQ sauce the brain could taste better at least"
[2025/06/19 14:20] Sonja Bikergrrl: Mecha, you got a gobful of hobgoblin zombie brains
[2025/06/19 14:20] Sonja Bikergrrl: you get to go first. What do you do?
[2025/06/19 14:20] Sapphire: Ah, we're in combat at the moment?
[2025/06/19 14:20] Sonja Bikergrrl: No.
[2025/06/19 14:20] Mecha: Spit out what got in her mouth and use a water skin to wash her face off and rinse her mouth out.
[2025/06/19 14:21] Sonja Bikergrrl: so, Mecha is a spitter, not a swallower... interesting.
[2025/06/19 14:21] Sonja Bikergrrl: And after that?
[2025/06/19 14:21] Andreas: /me lol
[2025/06/19 14:22] Mecha: Looking at Andreas."Before we go down there, I want you to remember something. Back at the inn, I could have kept my mouth shut until you were taken to jail.
[2025/06/19 14:23] Andreas: /me "We all made bad decisions" shrugs
[2025/06/19 14:23] Sonja Bikergrrl: True story, that.
[2025/06/19 14:23] Mecha: Anyway After that Lahli looks back down the stairs
[2025/06/19 14:24] Sonja Bikergrrl: Are you going to go down? Sapphire, Andreas, will you be following?
[2025/06/19 14:24] Sapphire: "...I suppose we shouldn't tarry too long if we're going after that man." She considers, and also conludes getting to the artifact and hiding it before Thargon finds it would be worthwhile.
[2025/06/19 14:25] Andreas: /me can I take one of the lanterns so we have light when we go down the stairs? Surely I should check first for traps. This place is way too grim.
[2025/06/19 14:25] Mecha: Sure, Lahli is ready to descend into madness
[2025/06/19 14:25] Sonja Bikergrrl: so... going down... the steps are a bit crude, but clearly artificial. It's a broad, tall sloping tunnel with shallow steps leading down into the darkness. Murals show a tall dark warrior leading an army against a red-haired female warrior.
[2025/06/19 14:26] Sonja Bikergrrl: Everyone roll d20
[2025/06/19 14:26] D20: Andreas rolls 18
[2025/06/19 14:26] D20: Mecha rolls 18
[2025/06/19 14:27] Sonja Bikergrrl: Sapphire?
[2025/06/19 14:28] D20: Sapphire rolls 3
[2025/06/19 14:29] Sonja Bikergrrl: You tramp past the murals, noticing nothing unusual... except for Te'ala, who notices...
[2025/06/19 14:29] Sonja Bikergrrl: ...there is a group of warriors in the mural, weapons out, looking not at the tall dark warrior, but at the red-haired female warriors' back.
[2025/06/19 14:30] Sonja Bikergrrl: Whatever could this mean?
[2025/06/19 14:31] Mecha: That is a good question
[2025/06/19 14:31] Sonja Bikergrrl: Meanwhile, you make it down to the ossuary, a somber, dimly lit chamber, its walls lined with shallow recesses that once cradled the bones of the deceased. The air is thick with the scent of damp earth and decay, and the faintest echoes of the wind outside whisper through the cracks in the stone, creating an eerie, mournful symphony.
[2025/06/19 14:31] Sonja Bikergrrl: Andreas: roll us a D4 :)
[2025/06/19 14:31] Sapphire: "Does this mural show an impending betrayal?" She guesses, slowing down but otherwise keeping near the back of the group.
[2025/06/19 14:31] D4: Andreas rolls 3
[2025/06/19 14:32] Sonja Bikergrrl: Seems to be a logical conclusion, Sapphire.
[2025/06/19 14:33] Sonja Bikergrrl: As you step into the chamber, a figure lurches out of that shadows, growling and snarling. a long-dead human warrior with his throat cut is attacking you!
[2025/06/19 14:33] Sonja Bikergrrl: d20, roll for initiative
[2025/06/19 14:33] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 11
[2025/06/19 14:33] D20: Mecha rolls 5
[2025/06/19 14:33] D20: Sapphire rolls 15
[2025/06/19 14:33] D20: Andreas rolls 11
[2025/06/19 14:33] Sonja Bikergrrl: Sapphire, you're up first
[2025/06/19 14:34] Sapphire: *rereads sheet*
[2025/06/19 14:35] Sapphire: "Incoming," she announces, using her shield to block the attacks and swinging her mace at the rotters head
[2025/06/19 14:35] D20: Sapphire rolls 4
[2025/06/19 14:36] Andreas: /me "Close your mouth Lahli" grins
[2025/06/19 14:36] Sonja Bikergrrl: It's a valiant attempt! You leap into the fray, bellowing like a madwoman, but the creature dodges nimbly, it's head swaying and lolling as one can only manage with a cut throat
[2025/06/19 14:37] Sonja Bikergrrl: Monster & Andreas next together. What does Andreas do?
[2025/06/19 14:37] Andreas: /me tries to sneak behind the monsters through hiding in shadows
[2025/06/19 14:38] D20: Andreas rolls 15
[2025/06/19 14:38] Sonja Bikergrrl: it's 2d10, or d%
[2025/06/19 14:38] D10: Andreas rolls 10
[2025/06/19 14:38] Sonja Bikergrrl: need to roll under 25
[2025/06/19 14:39] D10: Andreas rolls 6
[2025/06/19 14:39] Sonja Bikergrrl: 16. You successfully hide in shadows. But... do undead "see" using normal sight?
[2025/06/19 14:39] Andreas: /me I'm about to find out
[2025/06/19 14:39] Sonja Bikergrrl: It attacks Te'ala, clawing and biting maniacally
[2025/06/19 14:39] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 3
[2025/06/19 14:39] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 8
[2025/06/19 14:39] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 11
[2025/06/19 14:40] Sonja Bikergrrl: she's fine, although, that last bite was too close for comfort
[2025/06/19 14:40] Sonja Bikergrrl: Lahli
[2025/06/19 14:41] Mecha: Lahlis got a mace, zombies got a head.. the two of them should meet
[2025/06/19 14:41] Sonja Bikergrrl: d20
[2025/06/19 14:41] D20: Mecha rolls 9
[2025/06/19 14:42] Sonja Bikergrrl: You swing, but, swing too high, the mace whistles over it's head without connecting.
[2025/06/19 14:42] Sonja Bikergrrl: End of combat round; back to top. Te'ala?
[2025/06/19 14:42] Sapphire: Hmmmmm
[2025/06/19 14:42] Sapphire: we're full up on spell slots today?
[2025/06/19 14:43] Sapphire: Do I, a 4th level druid, only get 1 casting per day?
[2025/06/19 14:43] Sonja Bikergrrl: you have two first level spells, one second level spell - Fairy Fire, Locate, and.... Warp Wood
[2025/06/19 14:44] Sonja Bikergrrl: Also, a rat in your pack.
[2025/06/19 14:44] Sapphire: one casting *each* ?
[2025/06/19 14:44] Sonja Bikergrrl: Mmhmm.
[2025/06/19 14:44] Sapphire: Ok, will hold those in reserve for now (inc the rat) and try to flank to the zombies side, smacking at the back of it's head
[2025/06/19 14:44] D20: Sapphire rolls 2
[2025/06/19 14:45] Sonja Bikergrrl: You skitter around, narrowly missing body-slamming into Andreas, and the swing of your strike goes wild as a result.
[2025/06/19 14:45] Sonja Bikergrrl: Monster and Andreas go together; what do you do?
[2025/06/19 14:46] Andreas: /me catch my breath I guess.... pulls out the spear and tries to hit the closest monster.
[2025/06/19 14:46] Sonja Bikergrrl: d20, add 2 to the result
[2025/06/19 14:47] D20: Andreas rolls 3
[2025/06/19 14:47] Sonja Bikergrrl: or.... add 20, maybe?
[2025/06/19 14:47] Andreas: 🤷
[2025/06/19 14:47] Sonja Bikergrrl: You poke it in the back. Sadly with the wrong end of the spear, making it hiss and curse
[2025/06/19 14:47] Sonja Bikergrrl: It attacks Te'ala
[2025/06/19 14:48] Andreas: /me grins
[2025/06/19 14:48] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 12
[2025/06/19 14:48] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 13
[2025/06/19 14:48] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 20
[2025/06/19 14:48] Sonja Bikergrrl: /me winces.... "...ssssssssheit...."
[2025/06/19 14:48] Sonja Bikergrrl: This may sting a little.
[2025/06/19 14:48] D6: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 5
[2025/06/19 14:48] D6: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 3
[2025/06/19 14:48] Sapphire: Um
[2025/06/19 14:49] Sonja Bikergrrl: Clawed and bitten for .... um?
[2025/06/19 14:49] Sapphire: My AC appears to be... 7 ?
[2025/06/19 14:49] Sonja Bikergrrl: yes?
[2025/06/19 14:49] Sapphire: 6, shield
[2025/06/19 14:50] Sonja Bikergrrl: /me *coughs* DEX -1 *cough*
[2025/06/19 14:51] Sonja Bikergrrl: ie., penalty 1, making AC 6 with shield up to 7.
[2025/06/19 14:51] Sapphire: ah
[2025/06/19 14:52] Sonja Bikergrrl: Two hits, one critical....
[2025/06/19 14:52] Sonja Bikergrrl: 4 points of damage
[2025/06/19 14:52] Sonja Bikergrrl: It's just a flesh wound, you'll be fine
[2025/06/19 14:52] Sonja Bikergrrl: although....
[2025/06/19 14:53] Sonja Bikergrrl: a feeling of deathly numbness washes over you, but it passes quickly.
[2025/06/19 14:53] Sonja Bikergrrl: Mecha will save the day.
[2025/06/19 14:53] Mecha: Gonna try to reintroduce mace to head. *Doesn't want to just turn them all the time*
[2025/06/19 14:54] D20: Mecha rolls 14
[2025/06/19 14:54] Sonja Bikergrrl: hit AC 5
[2025/06/19 14:54] Sonja Bikergrrl: if only you hit AC 4....
[2025/06/19 14:54] Sonja Bikergrrl: J/K! J/K!
[2025/06/19 14:54] Sonja Bikergrrl: roll damage :)
[2025/06/19 14:54] D6: Mecha rolls 5
[2025/06/19 14:55] Sapphire: deathly numbness? Hah, as if zombie virus can infect a tree
[2025/06/19 14:55] Sonja Bikergrrl: You smack it a good solid blow, sending it staggering back. It squeals in fury, and hurls itself at Lahli, claws flailing and teeth snapping!
[2025/06/19 14:56] Sonja Bikergrrl: End of combat round, back to the top.... Te'ala!
[2025/06/19 14:56] Sapphire: Does this thing seem like it's meaningfully weakening?
[2025/06/19 14:57] Sonja Bikergrrl: How can you tell? (Ie., what indicates the health of a long-dead walking corpse?)
[2025/06/19 14:57] Sapphire: Hmmmm
[2025/06/19 14:57] Sapphire: point
[2025/06/19 14:57] Sapphire: Gonna back up and try to use my sling stones on it
[2025/06/19 14:57] Sonja Bikergrrl: are you sure?
[2025/06/19 15:01] Sonja Bikergrrl: If you are: d20 (bonus for range is cancelled by DEX penalty)
[2025/06/19 15:01] Sapphire: yes
[2025/06/19 15:01] D20: Sapphire rolls 5
[2025/06/19 15:01] Sapphire: Seems.... well I wasn't hitting either way
[2025/06/19 15:01] Sonja Bikergrrl: /me picks up the dice, looks at it, plants it back down
[2025/06/19 15:02] Sonja Bikergrrl: nai.
[2025/06/19 15:02] Sonja Bikergrrl: Andreas? :)
[2025/06/19 15:02] Sonja Bikergrrl: monster goes at same time, and is attacking Lahli
[2025/06/19 15:03] Andreas: /me tries to stab the monster which is attacking Lahli with spear
[2025/06/19 15:03] Sonja Bikergrrl: d20
[2025/06/19 15:03] D20: Andreas rolls 12
[2025/06/19 15:03] Sonja Bikergrrl: +2 for attacking from behind, equals hit
[2025/06/19 15:03] Sonja Bikergrrl: Roll d6
[2025/06/19 15:03] D6: Andreas rolls 5
[2025/06/19 15:04] Sonja Bikergrrl: While that's happening, it claws and bites at Lahli
[2025/06/19 15:04] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 1
[2025/06/19 15:04] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 7
[2025/06/19 15:04] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 8
[2025/06/19 15:04] Sonja Bikergrrl: Completely ineffectually, as the spear plunges through it, and it collapses, hissing wickedly. "Revenge... revenge!"
[2025/06/19 15:05] Sonja Bikergrrl: Inside this chamber: There's clearly an old altar, and a passageway leading off to one side.
[2025/06/19 15:06] Sapphire: "But revenge for who?" she asks it
[2025/06/19 15:06] Sonja Bikergrrl: It lies still, and seems no longer animate.
[2025/06/19 15:07] Mecha: Lahli is not taking any chances and squishes its head
[2025/06/19 15:07] Sonja Bikergrrl: -splat-
[2025/06/19 15:08] Sonja Bikergrrl: and then?
[2025/06/19 15:09] Sonja Bikergrrl: Andreas, what do you plan doing?
[2025/06/19 15:10] Andreas: /me pulls a rope and ties it to spear. "I guess we should go the only way to that passage or back" 🤷
[2025/06/19 15:10] Sonja Bikergrrl: Mecha?
[2025/06/19 15:10] Sapphire: Inspecting the Altar now
[2025/06/19 15:10] Sonja Bikergrrl: roll d20
[2025/06/19 15:11] Mecha: Keep moving forward I guess, but casting Cure light wounds on Te'ala
[2025/06/19 15:11] Sonja Bikergrrl: roll d6
[2025/06/19 15:11] D6: Mecha rolls 3
[2025/06/19 15:11] Sonja Bikergrrl: Te'ala: Healed 4 points
[2025/06/19 15:12] D20: Sapphire rolls 12
[2025/06/19 15:12] Sapphire: "Thank you."
[2025/06/19 15:13] Mecha: You're welcome
[2025/06/19 15:13] Sonja Bikergrrl: Examing the altar: it's very disquieting. There's a gutter round the edge, stained brown as if muddy water flowed, but, you're sure that was not what flowed. There seem to be runes carved into the altar, which claws have scratched into illegibility long ago.
[2025/06/19 15:13] Sapphire: "Old blood sacrifices, and then someone has defaced the runes."
[2025/06/19 15:14] Sonja Bikergrrl: The passage, meanwhile, is not lit.
[2025/06/19 15:14] Sonja Bikergrrl: So it would seem, Sapphire
[2025/06/19 15:14] Andreas: /me "Pity we don't have the lantern I wanted to take in the previous room. Nvm, ladies first" grins
[2025/06/19 15:15] Sonja Bikergrrl: Mecha?
[2025/06/19 15:15] Sonja Bikergrrl: You can take a lantern from here :P
[2025/06/19 15:15] Mecha: Lahli looks at Andreas as she lifts and relights the torch she originally used to look down the stairs
[2025/06/19 15:15] Sonja Bikergrrl: also good
[2025/06/19 15:15] Sonja Bikergrrl: also, d20
[2025/06/19 15:15] D20: Mecha rolls 1
[2025/06/19 15:15] Andreas: /me takes one of the lanterns
[2025/06/19 15:15] Sonja Bikergrrl: nat1
[2025/06/19 15:16] Mecha: AS long as it is not combat related the lower the better right?
[2025/06/19 15:16] Sonja Bikergrrl: The sounds of distant curses and combat come from the dark passage, with faint flickering light dancing about. You are convinced that even now, Excavator Korvash is fighting desperately for his life!
[2025/06/19 15:17] Sapphire: "To battle!" Te'ala starts matching, eyes flicking across the passageway for anything out of place.
[2025/06/19 15:17] Sonja Bikergrrl: Everyone following?
[2025/06/19 15:17] Mecha: Indeed to battle it is.
[2025/06/19 15:18] Sonja Bikergrrl: Andreas: another 4d please
[2025/06/19 15:18] Sonja Bikergrrl: er, d4 even
[2025/06/19 15:18] D4: Andreas rolls 1
[2025/06/19 15:18] Sonja Bikergrrl: oh my
[2025/06/19 15:18] Andreas: 🤷
[2025/06/19 15:19] Sonja Bikergrrl: As you hurry down the passageway, there are shifting shadows and whispering voices: "You must go from here... we were betrayed... avenge us...!"
[2025/06/19 15:20] Sonja Bikergrrl: Meanwhile! You press on to the next, deeper chamber. The chamber, cloaked in a faint, eerie light, appears empty, its stone walls lined with niches and alcoves that cradle the dust of ages. Each recess, intricately carved with faded runes of forgotten lore, might once have held treasures or relics, but now stand dark and empty. A damp chill permeates the air, hinting at the presence of moisture seeping through the ancient stone, while the earthy scent of the burial mound above mingles with the stale air.
[2025/06/19 15:20] Mecha: "Who betrayed you?" Lahli whispers
[2025/06/19 15:21] Sonja Bikergrrl: This appears to be the last chamber. It looks empty, with various niches and alcoves, although various bodies of hobgoblins lie scattered about, recently killed. And, one lantern lying on its' side.
[2025/06/19 15:23] Sapphire: Do the hobs look like they include a foreman?
[2025/06/19 15:23] Sonja Bikergrrl: No.... as far as you can tell. But... you don't get a -huge- amount of time to ponder this, as....
[2025/06/19 15:23] Andreas: /me looks around searching for a clues what might happened and examines the lantern.
[2025/06/19 15:25] Sonja Bikergrrl: ... A big burly hobgoblin in leather springs out from an alcove, he has a metal tube with a wooden handle strapped to his back, he has a huge pickaxe in both hands raised over his head, and a furious wide-eyed snarl as he yells "DIE!!!"
[2025/06/19 15:25] Sapphire: Te'ala considers the merits of trying to locate the Man versus trying to locate the Artifact.... oh, well there we go. "Foreman! Stand Down!"
[2025/06/19 15:26] Sonja Bikergrrl: The foreman gives a loud yell of surprise. "DAFUQAREYOUDOINGHERE?" as he withes in mid-air, landing on the floor and slamming the pickaxe into the dirt, burying it almost to the hilt.
[2025/06/19 15:28] Mecha: Could ask you the same thing!
[2025/06/19 15:29] Sapphire: "We were sent to make sure you didn't die down here. I'll also admit I'm curious what reventge these zombies and ghosts are on about."
[2025/06/19 15:29] Andreas: /me looks for a sword or saber in the pile of corpses.
[2025/06/19 15:29] Sonja Bikergrrl: Excavator Korvash: "Me not dead, but team are. Who you, anyway - wait, never mind that, we go, now!"
[2025/06/19 15:29] Sonja Bikergrrl: The corpses appear unarmed.
[2025/06/19 15:31] Mecha: What is going on?!
[2025/06/19 15:31] Sonja Bikergrrl: Excavator Korvash: "Fuck question, we go, we go NOW, before big bad come back! He unkillable!"
[2025/06/19 15:32] Andreas: /me "I'm right behind you, lead the way" .... "unkillable .... " mumbles
[2025/06/19 15:33] Sonja Bikergrrl: At about this time, a gaunt figure, draped in tattered remnants of ancient finery, is a chilling testament to the life it once led. The pallor of its skin is a sickly gray, stretched over sunken bones, and its eyes glow with an unsettling, cold light, promising torment to those who dare approach. Carved deeply into its bony forehead is the word "TRAITOR," a cruel reminder of its cowardly past and the grim fate it now serves, eternally bound to protect the secrets of the grave with a supernatural rage aimed at any who would disturb its eternal rest. Wisps of shadow cling to its form, as if the very darkness fears to be close, and a chilling aura surrounds it, causing the air to feel heavy and oppressive, warning would-be adventurers of the doom that awaits them.
[2025/06/19 15:34] Sonja Bikergrrl: Gaunt figure: "Yoooouuuuuu..... yyyoooouuu dddaaaarrrreeeee iiiinnnttrruuuddeeeee..."
[2025/06/19 15:34] Sapphire: "Yes, we dare. We're reckless like that." She holds her mace up. "But I'd rather talk than fight, if you're willing."
[2025/06/19 15:35] Sonja Bikergrrl: Gaunt figure: "Yyyyooouuuu.... iiimmmpppuuudddeeennntttt pppuuupppp.... yyyyoouuuuu sssshhhaaalll DIE!!!!"
[2025/06/19 15:35] Mecha: Turn undead
[2025/06/19 15:35] Sapphire: Faerie Fire
[2025/06/19 15:35] Sonja Bikergrrl: Excavator Korvash: "We go, NOW!"
[2025/06/19 15:36] Sonja Bikergrrl: okay.... 2d6 from Mecha
[2025/06/19 15:36] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 8
[2025/06/19 15:36] D6: Mecha rolls 3
[2025/06/19 15:36] D6: Mecha rolls 1
[2025/06/19 15:36] Sonja Bikergrrl: Saving throw failed.
[2025/06/19 15:36] Sapphire: the Draugr failed it's save or Mecha failed her backlash save?
[2025/06/19 15:37] Sonja Bikergrrl: You try to blast the creature with the holy power of your god. It fails to make any impression.
[2025/06/19 15:38] Sonja Bikergrrl: The gaunt figure is now at least outlined with a bright glow, which only reveals how ghastly and rotten the figure is, with long sharp claws, sharp teeth and an utterly rotten, twisted body.
[2025/06/19 15:38] Sonja Bikergrrl: You may want to consider taking Excavator Korvashs' advice.
[2025/06/19 15:39] Mecha: Lahli is tempted to do just that
[2025/06/19 15:40] Andreas: /me "we should go I guess, at least I go, you can have fun with this rotting thing. We don't need to pick every fight" ... Follows Korvashs
[2025/06/19 15:40] Sapphire: "Fighting Retreat!" She moves to keep up with the retreat, spinning up a sling stone as she moves
[2025/06/19 15:40] Sonja Bikergrrl: Excavator Korvash waits, dancing from foot to foot. "Quickly! Me cover, but now, go!"
[2025/06/19 15:40] Sonja Bikergrrl: Mecha, what's Lahli doing?
[2025/06/19 15:41] Mecha: Lahli is on the way out as well as she casts bless on her mace in case she has to use it again
[2025/06/19 15:42] Sonja Bikergrrl: The figure lumbers after you. If you run, you should get out in time, if you don't trip, that is...
[2025/06/19 15:43] Sonja Bikergrrl: Excavator Korvash: (yells) "BOYS! We coming, it coming too! Defence drill number two!"
[2025/06/19 15:43] Sonja Bikergrrl: I take it no one is dallying about?
[2025/06/19 15:43] Mecha: Actually Lahli is gonna try to take a swing at the thing, see if she can slow him down
[2025/06/19 15:44] Sonja Bikergrrl: are you sure you want to do that? you're already outrunning...?
[2025/06/19 15:44] Sapphire: Running!
[2025/06/19 15:45] Mecha: *Come on, it's us, someone is bound to trip. this would be good to help in case it happens*
[2025/06/19 15:46] Sonja Bikergrrl: I have full faith in your ability to not trip.
[2025/06/19 15:46] Sonja Bikergrrl: anyway, it'd be an ability check, and the way you've rolled tonight, you'll all easily succeed.
[2025/06/19 15:46] Andreas: /me sounds like sarcasm to me
[2025/06/19 15:47] Sonja Bikergrrl: You charge up steps and through chambers, and finally see daylight....
[2025/06/19 15:47] Sonja Bikergrrl: ...moi? Sarcastic? I wouldn't know how.
[2025/06/19 15:48] Sapphire: Daylight! Excellent!
[2025/06/19 15:48] Sonja Bikergrrl: ...The patch of daylight is surrounded by hobgoblins pointing thin metal tubes at you. Excavator Korvash barrels past you. "These friends! Hold fire!"
[2025/06/19 15:49] Sonja Bikergrrl: loud curses and hisses suggest the creature at your heels does not like daylight, or being subjected to massed "fire", although you see no flames.
[2025/06/19 15:50] Sonja Bikergrrl: But you -do- see Bartholomew Overcoat, the dapper bugbear with the air of menace, in his too-small pinstripe suit, taking a large ornate book from Commander Sharnok in one hand, the other holding his umbrella.
[2025/06/19 15:52] Sapphire: Makes sense he'd be here
[2025/06/19 15:52] Mecha: Is.. Is he wearing a hat?
[2025/06/19 15:53] Sonja Bikergrrl: The same too-small bowler hat as before, yes.
[2025/06/19 15:54] Sapphire: What, do you think it's an Evil Hat?
[2025/06/19 15:54] Mecha: Lahlis eyes go wide with joy seeing that hat
[2025/06/19 15:55] Sonja Bikergrrl: Bartholomew Overcoat gives you all a courteous nod before floating up into the air and flying away with the book.
[2025/06/19 15:57] Sapphire: Ah, was that the book they were looking for?
[2025/06/19 15:57] Andreas: /me "I wonder what is in the book"
[2025/06/19 15:57] Sonja Bikergrrl: That would appear to be the case.
[2025/06/19 15:57] Mecha: Lahli looks around." I want that hat, or one like it."
[2025/06/19 15:57] Sonja Bikergrrl: you're taking the loss of the book surprisingly well
[2025/06/19 15:59] Andreas: /me "I wonder, if somebody makes a chaos, I could try to borrow the book" smiles innocently
[2025/06/19 15:59] Mecha: Book is already gone
[2025/06/19 16:00] Sonja Bikergrrl: well, the book is with Bartholomew Overcoat, who just flew away. You're too late for that.
[2025/06/19 16:00] Sapphire: Well, it probably would have required us to slay the foreman we found to recover it... but yes, that does seem like it's going to be better for Thargon than it is for us.
[2025/06/19 16:00] Andreas: /me "mhmmmm, than maybe not this time, but who knows, we may get lucky and next time I'm not gonna wait"
[2025/06/19 16:01] Sonja Bikergrrl: Scribe Takkar - an elderly hobgoblin: "Thank you for rescuing our foreman. Do you want to see our notes before we all part ways?"
[2025/06/19 16:02] Mecha: Sure, sounds good
[2025/06/19 16:02] Sonja Bikergrrl: Scribe Takkar: "Come, come, this way."
[2025/06/19 16:02] Sapphire: "yes please, of course."
[2025/06/19 16:02] Sonja Bikergrrl: As he goes to the tent where the relics are stored, you see a small goblin scratching at a patch of dirt.
[2025/06/19 16:03] Mecha: Lahli follows
[2025/06/19 16:03] Sonja Bikergrrl: There's a loud -clank- as his pick strikes a ceramic object.
[2025/06/19 16:03] Mecha: Lahli pauses and looks over
[2025/06/19 16:03] Sonja Bikergrrl: The goblin brushes the dirt aside, picks up some pieces of an urn, and then pulls out an old, old scroll
[2025/06/19 16:04] Sonja Bikergrrl: The goblin holds up the scroll, and unfurls it, and frowns at what he sees.
[2025/06/19 16:04] Sapphire: "ooh, careful of the parchment... but what does it say?"
[2025/06/19 16:04] Sonja Bikergrrl: Goblin: "I'm sick of these elaborate cliff-hangers."
[2025/06/19 16:05] Andreas: /me =)
[2025/06/19 16:05] Mecha: Lol
[2025/06/19 16:06] Sonja Bikergrrl: Yes, we'll pick it back up next week, there's a lot of post-adventure play before this chapter is over... tune in next week to find out what all this was about!
[2025/06/19 16:06] Sonja Bikergrrl: hope y'all liked that
[2025/06/19 16:07] Sonja Bikergrrl: /me distributes hugs to all, teases to some, also kisses to those that want them
[2025/06/19 16:07] Mecha: /me smiles and accepts hugs, teases and kisses
[2025/06/19 16:08] Andreas: /me nods
[2025/06/19 16:08] Sonja Bikergrrl: I better dash, hard to sleep in this heat and it's getting worse
[2025/06/19 16:08] Mecha: Sleep well Mistress
[2025/06/19 16:08] Andreas: this was fun chapter, especially the beginning =)
[2025/06/19 16:08] Sapphire: Yeah, having fun
[2025/06/19 16:08] Andreas: /me gn8 kittens, see you next time 👋🤖
[2025/06/19 16:08] Sapphire: Night guys!
[2025/06/19 16:08] Sapphire: /me shares huggles
