[2026/03/01 14:00] Jassie: heyoo
[2026/03/01 14:01] Joe: hallo Jassie
[2026/03/01 14:02] Sonja Bikergrrl: so... most of you are uninjured, with just a few light injuries to Mecha and Sapphire
[2026/03/01 14:03] Sonja Bikergrrl: you just made it past the first encounter with the Ice Queen who clearly intends to collect a bounty on your heads
[2026/03/01 14:03] Joe: may i be making my lay-on-hands healing put to good use ?
[2026/03/01 14:03] Sapphire: the first encounter. There will be more encoutners?
[2026/03/01 14:04] Sapphire: ?
[2026/03/01 14:04] Sonja Bikergrrl: you've made it to a chamber where some kobolds are menacing some ice elves, and others are standing in a group. They look rather bigger and meaner.
[2026/03/01 14:04] Sapphire: *encounters
[2026/03/01 14:04] Sonja Bikergrrl: it's the first time you encountered her, so, first out of one.
[2026/03/01 14:04] Sapphire: to my recall the Ice Elves were split on if they wish to be ruled by the ice queen?
[2026/03/01 14:05] Sonja Bikergrrl: news to me; the only Ice Elf you met so far indicated they absolutely Do Not Want
[2026/03/01 14:05] Jassie: right
[2026/03/01 14:05] Sonja Bikergrrl: and with that recap out of the way....

[2026/03/01 14:08] Sapphire: with luck it's enjoyable
[2026/03/01 14:08] Sonja Bikergrrl: Mecha, Jassie, Joe, your actions occur at the same instant
[2026/03/01 14:09] Sonja Bikergrrl: Mecha!
[2026/03/01 14:09] Joe: paper ... scissors ... stone
[2026/03/01 14:10] Mecha: Talia just picks up a chunk of ice and wings it at a kobolds head.
[2026/03/01 14:10] Jassie: how many of the kobolds are there btw?
[2026/03/01 14:11] D20: Mecha rolls 10
[2026/03/01 14:11] Sonja Bikergrrl: what effect are you expecting that to have?
[2026/03/01 14:12] Mecha: Concussion to kobold skull
[2026/03/01 14:12] Mecha: Essentially knock them stupid...er
[2026/03/01 14:12] Sonja Bikergrrl: roll d6, divide by 2
[2026/03/01 14:12] D6: Mecha rolls 2
[2026/03/01 14:12] Sonja Bikergrrl: 1 damage
[2026/03/01 14:13] Sonja Bikergrrl: Joe!
[2026/03/01 14:13] Mecha: 2 divided by two is seventee, right?
[2026/03/01 14:13] Joe: I'm choppin' up kobolds
[2026/03/01 14:13] Mecha: seventeen even
[2026/03/01 14:13] Sonja Bikergrrl: charging in with axe?
[2026/03/01 14:13] Sonja Bikergrrl: Which group you going for?
[2026/03/01 14:13] Joe: the nearest group, yes axe
[2026/03/01 14:14] Sapphire: /me hums
[2026/03/01 14:14] Sonja Bikergrrl: the big mean looking ones standing in a group, or the smaller scraggly ones menacing the ice elves?
[2026/03/01 14:14] Joe: the scraggly looking ones
[2026/03/01 14:15] Joe: hoping to rescue the elves so they help fight the big'uns
[2026/03/01 14:15] Sonja Bikergrrl: d20, you want to hit AC 7
[2026/03/01 14:15] D20: Joe rolls 7
[2026/03/01 14:15] Sonja Bikergrrl: Ironically, that's a hit.
[2026/03/01 14:15] Sonja Bikergrrl: D6, plus 2
[2026/03/01 14:15] D6: Joe rolls 3
[2026/03/01 14:15] Sonja Bikergrrl: plus 1, even
[2026/03/01 14:16] Sonja Bikergrrl: either way, that's one kobold sent to the next world
[2026/03/01 14:16] Sonja Bikergrrl: Jassie!
[2026/03/01 14:16] Joe: good riddance
[2026/03/01 14:17] Sapphire: we're not at full supply of spells right now, are we?
[2026/03/01 14:17] Sonja Bikergrrl: should be
[2026/03/01 14:17] Jassie: i think for a moment and will first do the usual cast of bless on everyone
[2026/03/01 14:17] Jassie: i'm full
[2026/03/01 14:17] Sonja Bikergrrl: Bless: 6r, starts.
[2026/03/01 14:18] Sonja Bikergrrl: Kobolds turn, they're next in intiative
[2026/03/01 14:18] Sapphire: eeep
[2026/03/01 14:19] Sonja Bikergrrl: Two of them, the smaller ones, guard the ice elves. One has a stone, which they hold close to their face, and they yip and yap rapidly. "Pesky humens! We hold back, get Power Gem for great god, we hold humens here!"
[2026/03/01 14:19] Sonja Bikergrrl: The three bigger ones snarl and pick their targets. Two for Joe, since he slew one.
[2026/03/01 14:19] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 11
[2026/03/01 14:19] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 18
[2026/03/01 14:20] D8: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 1
[2026/03/01 14:20] Sonja Bikergrrl: Sliced by a crude and rusty scimitar, for 3 damage!
[2026/03/01 14:20] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 19
[2026/03/01 14:20] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 9
[2026/03/01 14:20] D8: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 8
[2026/03/01 14:20] Sonja Bikergrrl: /me chokes
[2026/03/01 14:20] Sonja Bikergrrl: and.... 10 damage.
[2026/03/01 14:21] Sonja Bikergrrl: the other goes for Mecha, since she started it
[2026/03/01 14:21] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 6
[2026/03/01 14:21] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 1
[2026/03/01 14:21] Sonja Bikergrrl: Missed!
[2026/03/01 14:21] Sonja Bikergrrl: over to our magic genie... Sapphire
[2026/03/01 14:22] Sapphire: how many kobolds are currently in combat with us?
[2026/03/01 14:22] Sapphire: Emily started this fight near the back of the group, yes?
[2026/03/01 14:22] Sonja Bikergrrl: Three big mean-looking ones. Two are holding back
[2026/03/01 14:23] Sonja Bikergrrl: she more started it in front by flinging ice shards
[2026/03/01 14:23] Sonja Bikergrrl: wait, you mean you
[2026/03/01 14:23] Sapphire: the ones holding back, do they have any remarkable equipment? weapons or robes suggesting important properties?
[2026/03/01 14:23] Sonja Bikergrrl: presumeably you started at the back, since you didn't specify front line
[2026/03/01 14:24] Sonja Bikergrrl: ...they're kobolds.... wearing what kobolds wear....
[2026/03/01 14:24] Sonja Bikergrrl: scraps of leather and misfitting buckles and belts
[2026/03/01 14:24] Sonja Bikergrrl: they may or may not have important properties, but, how are you going to tell?
[2026/03/01 14:25] Sapphire: so no glowing collars or silk dresses or anything on them, got it.
[2026/03/01 14:25] Sonja Bikergrrl: that's not standard kobold attire
[2026/03/01 14:25] Sapphire: as you say, these look to be standard kobolds
[2026/03/01 14:26] Sonja Bikergrrl: as far as you can tell.... yes
[2026/03/01 14:26] Mecha: ooohhhh, glowing collars. Interesting
[2026/03/01 14:26] Sapphire: Ok, Emily will start winding up a casting of Magic Missile, spreading the bolts of blue energy at the Big Kobolds up on melee combat
[2026/03/01 14:26] Sapphire: I think I get three darts and so can spread them 1 to 1 ?
[2026/03/01 14:26] Sonja Bikergrrl: you get three, don't you?
[2026/03/01 14:26] Sonja Bikergrrl: so one to each
[2026/03/01 14:26] Sapphire: yep
[2026/03/01 14:26] Sapphire: d4s?
[2026/03/01 14:26] Sonja Bikergrrl: roll D4, either once for all, or three times for each one, don't forget to add 1
[2026/03/01 14:27] Sapphire: Once for all, left to right
[2026/03/01 14:27] D4: Sapphire rolls 3
[2026/03/01 14:27] D4: Sapphire rolls 2
[2026/03/01 14:27] D4: Sapphire rolls 3
[2026/03/01 14:27] Sapphire: 4, 3, 4
[2026/03/01 14:28] Sonja Bikergrrl: Three glowing darts of energy slam into the big mean kobolds, they howl in pain and glare at Emily. "A spell caster!"
[2026/03/01 14:28] Sonja Bikergrrl: everyone has had their turn, end of combat round, back to... Mecha
[2026/03/01 14:29] Mecha: Screw the ice throw. talia aims for the kobold that tried to attack her with her sword.
[2026/03/01 14:29] Sonja Bikergrrl: d20
[2026/03/01 14:29] D20: Mecha rolls 7
[2026/03/01 14:30] Sonja Bikergrrl: close....
[2026/03/01 14:30] Sonja Bikergrrl: ...but it hits!
[2026/03/01 14:30] D8: Mecha rolls 8
[2026/03/01 14:30] Sonja Bikergrrl: d8 add 5
[2026/03/01 14:30] Mecha: that makes it 13
[2026/03/01 14:30] Sonja Bikergrrl: wow
[2026/03/01 14:31] Sonja Bikergrrl: That one staggers back, snarling in pain, with blood pouring from his side. "Get 'em, boys! let's lay 'em out!"
[2026/03/01 14:31] Sonja Bikergrrl: Joe!
[2026/03/01 14:32] Joe: Attack the next one
[2026/03/01 14:32] D20: Joe rolls 12
[2026/03/01 14:33] Sonja Bikergrrl: d6, add 1
[2026/03/01 14:33] D6: Joe rolls 6
[2026/03/01 14:33] Joe: oh yeah
[2026/03/01 14:34] Sonja Bikergrrl: ...that's what's bugging me, battle axe is D8. Where'd D6 come in? Roll the D8
[2026/03/01 14:34] D8: Joe rolls 6
[2026/03/01 14:34] Sonja Bikergrrl: *GIGGLES*
[2026/03/01 14:35] Sapphire: ♥
[2026/03/01 14:35] Joe: it is written in the book of fate 'thou shall roll 7s'
[2026/03/01 14:35] Sonja Bikergrrl: you'd have got the better of the rolls, but, 6=6.
[2026/03/01 14:35] Joe: 6+1
[2026/03/01 14:36] Sonja Bikergrrl: 7 damage, you hack the one nearest you, but... still standing.
[2026/03/01 14:36] Sonja Bikergrrl: Jassie!
[2026/03/01 14:36] Jassie: so all 3 of them in front of us still standing right?
[2026/03/01 14:37] Sonja Bikergrrl: all three standing in various degrees of injury, all glaring with murderous intent
[2026/03/01 14:37] Jassie: how close are they to each other?
[2026/03/01 14:37] Jassie: including the ones at the back
[2026/03/01 14:38] Sonja Bikergrrl: they're in Joe and Mechas' faces, certainly; little further back, the two smaller kobolds are watching with daggers held to the ice elves
[2026/03/01 14:39] Jassie: hmmm...ah fug it, i'm gonna sling my warhammer
[2026/03/01 14:40] Jassie: and cast flame blade and then slash the one closest to me with the flaming scimitar
[2026/03/01 14:40] Sonja Bikergrrl: ...so... you're casting flame blade?
[2026/03/01 14:40] Jassie: yup
[2026/03/01 14:42] Sonja Bikergrrl: lasts 7 rounds, does 1d4+6 to your targets if hit
[2026/03/01 14:42] Jassie: yes
[2026/03/01 14:42] Sonja Bikergrrl: no attack bonus
[2026/03/01 14:42] Jassie: and lets slash down on the kobold closest to me
[2026/03/01 14:42] Jassie: i figured
[2026/03/01 14:42] Sonja Bikergrrl: roll d20!
[2026/03/01 14:42] D20: Jassie rolls 5
[2026/03/01 14:43] Sonja Bikergrrl: ...it was going so well...
[2026/03/01 14:43] Jassie: well, normal for me
[2026/03/01 14:43] Sonja Bikergrrl: The kobold nearest you ducks aside, snarling. "Another spell caster! Let loose your fury!"
[2026/03/01 14:44] Sonja Bikergrrl: kobolds turn! The two stand back by the elves, ready to cut the throat of anyone moving. Far as they're concerned, this is great entertainment.
[2026/03/01 14:45] Sonja Bikergrrl: Kobold near Joe: grips scimitar in both paws, raises it up over head and leaps into the air, putting everything into a wild downward slash
[2026/03/01 14:45] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 7
[2026/03/01 14:45] Sonja Bikergrrl: ....aaaaaaaaaand he falls flat on his face.
[2026/03/01 14:46] Joe: reflex stomps on its head
[2026/03/01 14:46] Sonja Bikergrrl: Other kobold brute, targeting Mecha, likewise grips his sword and wields it double-handed in an overhead chop down, as he leaps high....
[2026/03/01 14:46] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 8
[2026/03/01 14:46] Sonja Bikergrrl: motherfucker
[2026/03/01 14:46] Sonja Bikergrrl: Also falls flat on his face
[2026/03/01 14:46] Sapphire: that explains his lack of coordination i suppose
[2026/03/01 14:47] Sonja Bikergrrl: The third one barges past Joe and Mecha, waving his scimitar about, snarling in rage
[2026/03/01 14:47] Sonja Bikergrrl: going for the spell caster, Emily!
[2026/03/01 14:47] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 7
[2026/03/01 14:47] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 9
[2026/03/01 14:48] Sonja Bikergrrl: hits.... AC 6
[2026/03/01 14:48] Sonja Bikergrrl: Emily is AC 10
[2026/03/01 14:48] D8: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 3
[2026/03/01 14:48] Sonja Bikergrrl: 4 damage.
[2026/03/01 14:48] Sapphire: "Aaaah!" she screams
[2026/03/01 14:49] Sonja Bikergrrl: Mecha: regenerates 3 damage
[2026/03/01 14:49] Sonja Bikergrrl: Emily! Time to argue with this brute of a kobold and explain the error of his ways.
[2026/03/01 14:50] Sapphire: how badly wounded does this kobold seem?
[2026/03/01 14:50] Sapphire: My first thought is to back up and get a Shield spell powered up
[2026/03/01 14:50] Sapphire: possibly flee across a table or something in the room
[2026/03/01 14:51] Sonja Bikergrrl: this particular one? Least injured of all
[2026/03/01 14:51] Sonja Bikergrrl: mirror image might be a better spell to cast
[2026/03/01 14:53] Sapphire: good idea, she backs up and moves her arms and hips in a gasting gesture to then dance away as multiple mirror copies
[2026/03/01 14:53] Sapphire: d4 copies?
[2026/03/01 14:53] Sonja Bikergrrl: d4+1, I make it
[2026/03/01 14:53] D4: Sapphire rolls 1
[2026/03/01 14:54] Sonja Bikergrrl: /me facepalms
[2026/03/01 14:54] Sapphire: 2 copies plus the actual
[2026/03/01 14:54] Sapphire: possibly three obvious fakes
[2026/03/01 14:54] Sapphire: as well
[2026/03/01 14:55] Sonja Bikergrrl: Three swirling genie images dance about where one genie stood. The kobold brutes' eyes go round and round, trying to work out which is the "real" one.
[2026/03/01 14:55] Sonja Bikergrrl: End of combat round... back to Mecha!
[2026/03/01 14:56] Mecha: Since the kobold is in Talias face she can't get a good swing of the sword so impalement it is . Just gonna try to run him through
[2026/03/01 14:56] D20: Mecha rolls 6
[2026/03/01 14:56] Sonja Bikergrrl: Two are prone, one menacing Sapphire, remember
[2026/03/01 14:57] Sonja Bikergrrl: ...which are you attacking?
[2026/03/01 14:57] Mecha: then get the prone one by talia with a swing
[2026/03/01 14:57] Sonja Bikergrrl: hits AC 5... it's AC 4... but prone so +2 to hit... so... you hack him with the sword
[2026/03/01 14:58] Sonja Bikergrrl: D8 for damage
[2026/03/01 14:58] D8: Mecha rolls 6
[2026/03/01 14:58] Sonja Bikergrrl: He's dead.
[2026/03/01 14:58] Sonja Bikergrrl: I forgot, fighters get 3 attacks every 2 rounds
[2026/03/01 14:59] Sonja Bikergrrl: so you take an extra attack (ditto Joe)
[2026/03/01 14:59] Joe: we get to attack twice next round ?
[2026/03/01 14:59] Mecha: next nearest one geting a sword attack
[2026/03/01 14:59] D20: Mecha rolls 8
[2026/03/01 14:59] Sonja Bikergrrl: the one attacking Emily or the one prone before Joe?
[2026/03/01 15:00] Mecha: one attacking emily. Joe can handle the other
[2026/03/01 15:00] Sonja Bikergrrl: d8, since you hit
[2026/03/01 15:00] D8: Mecha rolls 5
[2026/03/01 15:01] Sonja Bikergrrl: He howls in pain, cursing and swinging round to face you instead!
[2026/03/01 15:01] Sonja Bikergrrl: (Fighters: please remember you get extra attacks every 2nd round, if you leave it to me, I'll forget!)
[2026/03/01 15:01] Sonja Bikergrrl: Joe! Who you attacking?
[2026/03/01 15:01] Mecha: *Be right back, checking on dinner should be back for this ones next turn*
[2026/03/01 15:02] Joe: I'm stomping on the kobolds head, hard enough to kill it (1st attack) then attacking the next nearest kobold (2nd attack)
[2026/03/01 15:03] Sonja Bikergrrl: ...shall I read "swing battle axe" for "stomp on head"?
[2026/03/01 15:03] Joe: which is more likely to finish it off? stomping of axing ?
[2026/03/01 15:04] Sonja Bikergrrl: "stomping" isn't an attack, but I'll allow 1hp damage on a successful hit
[2026/03/01 15:04] Joe: i'll trust the axe
[2026/03/01 15:04] D20: Joe rolls 15
[2026/03/01 15:04] Sonja Bikergrrl: good plan
[2026/03/01 15:04] Sonja Bikergrrl: roll d8, add 1
[2026/03/01 15:04] D8: Joe rolls 1
[2026/03/01 15:04] Joe: ffs
[2026/03/01 15:04] Sonja Bikergrrl: ...
[2026/03/01 15:04] Joe: a foot stomp of 1 would have done the same
[2026/03/01 15:05] Sonja Bikergrrl: at least you did double damage compared to the stomp
[2026/03/01 15:05] Joe: is it dead yet?
[2026/03/01 15:05] Sonja Bikergrrl: that 2 damage from the axe
[2026/03/01 15:05] Sonja Bikergrrl: not even close
[2026/03/01 15:05] Joe: 2nd attack
[2026/03/01 15:05] D20: Joe rolls 8
[2026/03/01 15:05] D8: Joe rolls 5
[2026/03/01 15:05] Joe: 6 damage
[2026/03/01 15:05] Sonja Bikergrrl: one more should do it.... Jassie!
[2026/03/01 15:06] Sonja Bikergrrl: the prone kobold or the one standing?
[2026/03/01 15:06] Jassie: which one looks rougher?
[2026/03/01 15:06] Sonja Bikergrrl: the one on the floor is easier to hit, the one standing has already attacked Emily
[2026/03/01 15:07] Jassie: well i guess the floor one first, just go in for a stab
[2026/03/01 15:07] D20: Jassie rolls 14
[2026/03/01 15:07] Sonja Bikergrrl: that's a hit.... d4
[2026/03/01 15:07] D4: Jassie rolls 3
[2026/03/01 15:07] Jassie: woo 7
[2026/03/01 15:08] Sonja Bikergrrl: The kobold is enveloped in flames and writhes about, screaming and perishing in a blaze of fire!
[2026/03/01 15:08] Sonja Bikergrrl: Kobold snarls and attacks Talia
[2026/03/01 15:08] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 17
[2026/03/01 15:08] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 19
[2026/03/01 15:08] D8: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 8
[2026/03/01 15:08] Sonja Bikergrrl: woo.... 10 damage to Talia
[2026/03/01 15:09] Sapphire: ouch!
[2026/03/01 15:09] Sonja Bikergrrl: The other two kobolds see the death of the two big guys, and charge forwards, screaming bloodthirsty cries! One for Joe
[2026/03/01 15:09] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 3
[2026/03/01 15:09] Sonja Bikergrrl: one for Jassie
[2026/03/01 15:09] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 20
[2026/03/01 15:10] Jassie: uh oh
[2026/03/01 15:10] Joe: oof
[2026/03/01 15:10] Sonja Bikergrrl: /me winces
[2026/03/01 15:10] Sonja Bikergrrl: oh dear
[2026/03/01 15:10] Sonja Bikergrrl: Roll 2D10, Jassie
[2026/03/01 15:10] Jassie: guess they mad
[2026/03/01 15:10] D10: Jassie rolls 5
[2026/03/01 15:10] D10: Jassie rolls 3
[2026/03/01 15:10] Sonja Bikergrrl: oh jeeeeeeezeeeee....
[2026/03/01 15:11] Sonja Bikergrrl: first of all, he rams his rusty dagger into you.
[2026/03/01 15:11] D4: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 4
[2026/03/01 15:11] Sonja Bikergrrl: 53, Aches & Pains: "Your ability to withstand hardship is reduced. You are treated as having 1 permanent point of damage per character level. This damage does not heal from normal healing, nor from healing magic."
[2026/03/01 15:11] Sapphire: joint hit?
[2026/03/01 15:11] Jassie: OUCH
[2026/03/01 15:12] Sonja Bikergrrl: Max HP reduced to 32. That... -hurt-....
[2026/03/01 15:12] Sonja Bikergrrl: tough break, Jassie.
[2026/03/01 15:13] Sonja Bikergrrl: over to Emily!
[2026/03/01 15:14] Joe: feels regret I did not step in or attack the big guy who hurt Jassie instead of stomping on the head of one who had already fallen. The wisdom of experience is paid for by suffering.
[2026/03/01 15:15] Sapphire: She backsteps away, luring the kobold chasing her to follow, and trying to vault over tables or crates or whatever low cover is in the room that gives her a chance to put the environment between her and that axe
[2026/03/01 15:15] Sapphire: Maybe she can trick the bold into presenting their back to a friendlight fighter!
[2026/03/01 15:15] Sonja Bikergrrl: ....and then...?
[2026/03/01 15:15] Sapphire: lob a ball of snow at his face to distract perhaps?
[2026/03/01 15:16] Sonja Bikergrrl: you can stay close and attack, don't forget, next two attacks are guaranteed misses
[2026/03/01 15:16] Sapphire: guaranteed?
[2026/03/01 15:16] Sonja Bikergrrl: (And that's -at least-)
[2026/03/01 15:16] Sapphire: I thought it was a one in three to hit the real?
[2026/03/01 15:16] Sonja Bikergrrl: you are "shielded" by two mirror images
[2026/03/01 15:17] Sapphire: so i'm all three and when he hits one the "illusion" resolves me to one of the others
[2026/03/01 15:17] Sapphire: anything i can grab and throw at his face?
[2026/03/01 15:17] Sapphire: I -really- need to stock up on like, a dozen knives for throwing
[2026/03/01 15:17] Sonja Bikergrrl: per RAW: ", it is impossible for opponents to be certain which are the illusions and which is the actual wizard. When an image is struck by a melee or missile attack, magical or otherwise, it disappears, but any other existing images remain intact until struck. The images seem to shift from round to round, so that if the actual wizard is struck during one round, he cannot be picked out from among his images the next"
[2026/03/01 15:18] Joe: what if the attacker uses a paintball gun ?
[2026/03/01 15:18] Sapphire: *rereads that spell description*
[2026/03/01 15:18] Sonja Bikergrrl: so, you can be right in front of him, stab him, and be completely immune to return dame for *at least* two attacks
[2026/03/01 15:19] Sapphire: alright, since it seems so relevant. Will try to sneak a dagger into him
[2026/03/01 15:19] D20: Sapphire rolls 16
[2026/03/01 15:19] Sapphire: darn
[2026/03/01 15:19] Sonja Bikergrrl: not sure why you're darning, that's a hit
[2026/03/01 15:19] Sonja Bikergrrl: d4 please
[2026/03/01 15:19] Sapphire: oh!
[2026/03/01 15:19] Sapphire: I wasn't expecting that to hit
[2026/03/01 15:19] D4: Sapphire rolls 1
[2026/03/01 15:20] Sapphire: double darn
[2026/03/01 15:20] Sonja Bikergrrl: ...I hope you weren't expecting to do much damage...
[2026/03/01 15:20] Sonja Bikergrrl: Every little helps, as Tescos says.
[2026/03/01 15:20] Sapphire: i really wasn't, hence all the blather about trying to get him off balance enough that one of the heavy hitters can rescue me
[2026/03/01 15:21] Sonja Bikergrrl: you helped
[2026/03/01 15:21] Sonja Bikergrrl: just not a lot :-D
[2026/03/01 15:21] Sonja Bikergrrl: end of round!
[2026/03/01 15:21] Sonja Bikergrrl: No Mecha...? Jassie! You got revenge to take, I'm sure
[2026/03/01 15:21] Mecha: So the one that damaged Talia.. Still standing?
[2026/03/01 15:22] Sonja Bikergrrl: Yep.
[2026/03/01 15:22] Mecha: Well then only fair to return the favor and bringing the sword down on him
[2026/03/01 15:22] D20: Mecha rolls 17
[2026/03/01 15:23] Jassie: i sure do
[2026/03/01 15:23] Sonja Bikergrrl: ouch... d8
[2026/03/01 15:23] D8: Mecha rolls 4
[2026/03/01 15:24] Sonja Bikergrrl: Big brute now near death.
[2026/03/01 15:24] Sonja Bikergrrl: Jassie!
[2026/03/01 15:24] Jassie: is the one that attacked me still alive?
[2026/03/01 15:25] Sonja Bikergrrl: Yes, still before you, looking like he thinks he's really smart
[2026/03/01 15:26] Jassie: grins at him and then slashes
[2026/03/01 15:26] Jassie: come onnn dice!
[2026/03/01 15:26] D20: Jassie rolls 11
[2026/03/01 15:26] Jassie: yes yes??
[2026/03/01 15:26] Sonja Bikergrrl: Kobold grins back at Jassie.
[2026/03/01 15:27] Sonja Bikergrrl: Then he falls over, still grinning, and, still dead.
[2026/03/01 15:27] Sonja Bikergrrl: Joe?
[2026/03/01 15:27] Jassie: kicks his head
[2026/03/01 15:27] Joe: how many kobolds are left standing ?
[2026/03/01 15:27] Sonja Bikergrrl: Two, one big brute, one scrappy fellow.
[2026/03/01 15:28] Joe: I attack the big bastard
[2026/03/01 15:28] D20: Joe rolls 4
[2026/03/01 15:28] Joe: not very effectively, perhaps it distracts him ?
[2026/03/01 15:28] Sonja Bikergrrl: ...perhaps....
[2026/03/01 15:29] Sonja Bikergrrl: Ice elves, no longer guarded, scurry forwards, brandishing ice daggers
[2026/03/01 15:29] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 15
[2026/03/01 15:29] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 9
[2026/03/01 15:29] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 11
[2026/03/01 15:29] Sonja Bikergrrl: The kill the last kobold, only the big brute left. I tried for you, at least
[2026/03/01 15:29] Sonja Bikergrrl: Kobold attacks Talia
[2026/03/01 15:29] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 15
[2026/03/01 15:29] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 7
[2026/03/01 15:30] Sonja Bikergrrl: Hit!
[2026/03/01 15:30] D8: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 2
[2026/03/01 15:30] Sonja Bikergrrl: only 4 damage
[2026/03/01 15:30] Sonja Bikergrrl: Emily! Your chance to shine!
[2026/03/01 15:30] Sapphire: Uh oh
[2026/03/01 15:31] Sonja Bikergrrl: I jinxed it :-D
[2026/03/01 15:31] Sapphire: Um.... trying to get behind the Kobold and drive my dagger into his back while he's trying to track the mirror images circling him
[2026/03/01 15:31] D20: Sapphire rolls 16
[2026/03/01 15:31] D4: Sapphire rolls 1
[2026/03/01 15:31] Sapphire: welp :D
[2026/03/01 15:31] Sonja Bikergrrl: see, I knew you could do it.
[2026/03/01 15:31] Sonja Bikergrrl: he pitches face forwards into the dust
[2026/03/01 15:32] Sonja Bikergrrl: ....snow
[2026/03/01 15:32] Sonja Bikergrrl: now what?
[2026/03/01 15:33] Sapphire: "Oooof," Emily sighs, stepping back and looking aorund at the equipment on the ground and the ice elves.
[2026/03/01 15:34] Sapphire: "how is everyone doing?"
[2026/03/01 15:34] Jassie: sits down to catch her breath, using the flame blade like a heater on herself
[2026/03/01 15:34] Sonja Bikergrrl: Talia: rapidly regenerating damage done
[2026/03/01 15:34] Mecha: "Bleeding, I'll be fine." AS she kicks kobold corpse
[2026/03/01 15:34] Jassie: for just a couple of seconds till it disappears
[2026/03/01 15:34] Sonja Bikergrrl: Joe regains 1hp
[2026/03/01 15:34] Jassie: anyone need some assistance?
[2026/03/01 15:35] Sonja Bikergrrl: Ice elves: "Are you here for the Ice Queen?"
[2026/03/01 15:35] Sapphire: "Is there anyone else to be here for?"
[2026/03/01 15:35] Mecha: Talia looks to Emily for a response.
[2026/03/01 15:36] Sonja Bikergrrl: They look at each other as if they haven't a clue what you mean
[2026/03/01 15:36] Sapphire: ( say, would any of the dropped kobold weapons serve as throwable knives or daggers? )
[2026/03/01 15:36] Mecha: She is trying to say yes.
[2026/03/01 15:36] Jassie: i guess no one needs any
[2026/03/01 15:36] Sonja Bikergrrl: cheap rusted rubbish. Quite useless.
[2026/03/01 15:36] Sapphire: She pauses a moment, then answers... "yes, we're here for the queen."
[2026/03/01 15:37] Sonja Bikergrrl: Ice Elves: "Beware, she has much powerful magic - and she's in league with a dragon, Emberclaw!"
[2026/03/01 15:38] Mecha: Talia rubs her smacking hand."Emberclaws alive?"
[2026/03/01 15:38] Sonja Bikergrrl: Ice Elves: "He was here last year! Meeting Ice Queen about some magic."
[2026/03/01 15:39] Mecha: Oh yeah he died since then but.. which way to the ice queen?"
[2026/03/01 15:39] Sapphire: "Does she use some of emberclaws magic now?
[2026/03/01 15:40] Sonja Bikergrrl: Ice Elves: "He died? Then who that dragon here now?"
[2026/03/01 15:40] Sonja Bikergrrl: Ice Elves: "We don't know."
[2026/03/01 15:40] Mecha: Talia shakes her head."Guess we gotta kill him again."Let's go."
[2026/03/01 15:40] Jassie: well, we definitely saw that large dragon before
[2026/03/01 15:41] Sapphire: "Could it be the dragon Blizzera?"
[2026/03/01 15:42] Sonja Bikergrrl: good question... except she was brutally murdered and hacked apart....
[2026/03/01 15:42] Jassie: i mean it definitely recognized us
[2026/03/01 15:42] Sapphire: hacked apart and stitched together, wasn't she?
[2026/03/01 15:43] Jassie: yes possibly
[2026/03/01 15:43] Jassie: also brb, i need the toilet
[2026/03/01 15:43] Sonja Bikergrrl: you certainly saw a white dragon matching Blizzaras' description, stitched together from big chunks like a ghastly rubiks' cube
[2026/03/01 15:45] Sapphire: "Any clues as to what she and the dragon talked about?"
[2026/03/01 15:45] Sonja Bikergrrl: Anyone curious about that stone the kobolds were shouting into?
[2026/03/01 15:46] Sonja Bikergrrl: Ice Elves: "No, death to be caught in area."
[2026/03/01 15:46] Mecha: *Oh yeah that was there*
[2026/03/01 15:46] Mecha: Talia goes to examine it
[2026/03/01 15:46] Sonja Bikergrrl: The thing is a fist sized stone, engraved with: "Anfon Pâr Cerrig Pedwar"
[2026/03/01 15:47] Mecha: Anybody know what this damn thing is?"
[2026/03/01 15:48] Sapphire: "Oh. I think those are the runes Sonja uses sometimes." Emily moves to inspect it as well
[2026/03/01 15:48] Sonja Bikergrrl: /me is -well- curious now to hear what Emily thinks this is
[2026/03/01 15:50] Sapphire: Some sort of draconic-produced magical device. Smooth stone or very rough?
[2026/03/01 15:50] Jassie: back sorry
[2026/03/01 15:50] Sapphire: "we probably don't want to stand here much longer... should get movine."
[2026/03/01 15:50] Sonja Bikergrrl: seems like a reasonable deduction. I wonder if you're right.
[2026/03/01 15:50] Sonja Bikergrrl: It's a smooth stone.
[2026/03/01 15:51] Mecha: Sounds like a good idea."Let's get moving."
[2026/03/01 15:51] Sonja Bikergrrl: moving on. no further investigations into the stone?
[2026/03/01 15:52] Jassie: "is there any magic emanating from it?" I say as I get up wincing at the pain in the abdomen
[2026/03/01 15:52] Sonja Bikergrrl: How would you tell?
[2026/03/01 15:52] Joe: I cast ±Detect Evil, especially at the stone
[2026/03/01 15:52] Jassie: idk, i meant for the others
[2026/03/01 15:52] Sonja Bikergrrl: okay :-)
[2026/03/01 15:52] Sapphire: oh yeah, i have Read Magic, would that apply here?
[2026/03/01 15:52] Jassie: I'm asking the others
[2026/03/01 15:53] Sapphire: "I'll inspect it as we move."
[2026/03/01 15:53] Mecha: "no clue. Not my area of expertise."
[2026/03/01 15:53] Sonja Bikergrrl: Detect Evil ability isn't a spell, per se, but it does replicate the effect of the spell. And it's an area effect; you can't cast it on one object
[2026/03/01 15:53] Joe: surely it would highlight the stone if the stone is evil
[2026/03/01 15:54] Sonja Bikergrrl: but if you do a detect evil, you pick up a moderately large sense of evil around you
[2026/03/01 15:54] Sonja Bikergrrl: it's impossible to say at this moment in time if the stone itself is evil
[2026/03/01 15:54] Joe: I want to heal the most injured member of the party with Lay On Hands too before we move on
[2026/03/01 15:54] Sonja Bikergrrl: Good question on the Read Magic, do you want to cast that?
[2026/03/01 15:55] Sonja Bikergrrl: I'd suggest that's you, Joe!
[2026/03/01 15:55] Sonja Bikergrrl: Emily a close second, then Jassie
[2026/03/01 15:55] Sapphire: as in the whole building reeks of evil?
[2026/03/01 15:55] Sapphire: ( I have a thing starting soon so can't stay too much longer )
[2026/03/01 15:56] Sonja Bikergrrl: It's an underground cavern. The area is "moderately" evil.
[2026/03/01 15:56] Joe: lay on hands is 2H per level so its 14 right ?
[2026/03/01 15:56] Sonja Bikergrrl: good point... we can drop it here as I got work tomorrow
[2026/03/01 15:56] Sonja Bikergrrl: Sapphire: time to cast Read Magic if you want?
[2026/03/01 15:56] Jassie: all good
[2026/03/01 15:56] Sonja Bikergrrl: and yes, Joe
[2026/03/01 15:57] Joe: Thanks DM Sonja, peaceful dreams
[2026/03/01 15:57] Sapphire: i will if it seems like there's magic to read, yes
[2026/03/01 15:57] Sonja Bikergrrl: /me purrs.¸¸.·´¯`·.¸¸.·´¯`·.¸¸(=^･^=)
[2026/03/01 15:58] Sapphire: ( thank you for running! )
[2026/03/01 15:58] Sonja Bikergrrl: Sapphire: the words say: "Sending Stone Pair Four"
[2026/03/01 15:58] Sonja Bikergrrl: and on that note, we'll leave it for next time!
[2026/03/01 15:58] Sapphire: "A sending stone! and paired, they might be able to hear us."
[2026/03/01 15:58] Joe: its in modern welsh dialect i dont trust it
[2026/03/01 15:58] Jassie: oooooo
[2026/03/01 15:59] Sonja Bikergrrl: /me does use Welsh as draconic
[2026/03/01 15:59] Mecha: Be right back
[2026/03/01 15:59] Joe: Sapphire translated it thats great. I think we should use it as slingshots
[2026/03/01 15:59] Sonja Bikergrrl: hope you're having fun with this.... and see you next week for more! :-)
[2026/03/01 16:00] Jassie: yesh, well except the new wound
[2026/03/01 16:00] Sonja Bikergrrl: chicks dig scars
[2026/03/01 16:00] Sonja Bikergrrl: think of all the tottie you'll get

[2026/03/01 16:01] Sonja Bikergrrl: chick, broad, arm ornament
[2026/03/01 16:01] Sonja Bikergrrl: okay, I'm up in six, I'm outta here :-)
[2026/03/01 16:01] Jassie: ahhhing up the tracks
