[2026/03/08 14:55] Sonja Bikergrrl: okay, two minutes, we'll give Jassie to quarter past, then we get die rolling.
[2026/03/08 14:55] Sapphire: ok
[2026/03/08 14:55] Sapphire: /me distributes cookies
[2026/03/08 14:59] Sonja Bikergrrl: /me opens notecards... let's see... you got infected by the horrific brain zombie virus, and were about to make your saving throws...
[2026/03/08 14:59] Joe: whut?! when did that happen?
[2026/03/08 15:00] Mecha: it wasn' a brain zombie Virsu. we were tied to a couch and forced to binge watch something on Netflix.
[2026/03/08 15:00] Sapphire: apparently we failed our will saves
[2026/03/08 15:00] Sonja Bikergrrl: whoops
[2026/03/08 15:01] Sonja Bikergrrl: I need to decypher my writing better
[2026/03/08 15:01] Joe: do I still have Mecha's ring of regeneration ? Is that of any use against zombie brain virus ?
[2026/03/08 15:01] Sonja Bikergrrl: sadly no, it accelerates it
[2026/03/08 15:02] Joe: of course it would
[2026/03/08 15:02] Sonja Bikergrrl: anyway... you found... "Anfon Pâr Cerrig Pedwar" (Sending Stone Pair Four)
[2026/03/08 15:02] Mecha: LOL
[2026/03/08 15:02] Sonja Bikergrrl: not sure you decided what to do with that
[2026/03/08 15:03] Sapphire: Listen to a a bit, stuff it in a quiet pocket, and then keep looking for the ice queen
[2026/03/08 15:03] Sonja Bikergrrl: and you did get warned about a strange white little kobold in a chest plate, with a crudely-stitched together white dragon with a big scar on it's muzzle
[2026/03/08 15:04] Sapphire: as an enemy? what was the warning?
[2026/03/08 15:04] Sonja Bikergrrl: and with that apparant recap out of the way GGGGRRREEEEEEEEEEEEETTTIIINGGSSS Adventurers! Other players get to roll nat20s, you get cursed with a night of nat1s
[2026/03/08 15:05] Sonja Bikergrrl: I think the warning was "Beware the strange white little kobold in a chest plate, with a crudely-stitched together white dragon with a big scar on it's muzzle"
[2026/03/08 15:05] Mecha: Cursed nothing that's a normal game for us.
[2026/03/08 15:05] Sonja Bikergrrl: you're in a large chamber with dead kobolds dotted about... you should know, you killed them
[2026/03/08 15:06] Sonja Bikergrrl: and of course freed ice elves, who saved your asses by attacking at the end. Mind you, you totally had them, you'd have won without their help.... maybe.
[2026/03/08 15:06] Sonja Bikergrrl: There's a clear path forwards, to the next area
[2026/03/08 15:06] Sapphire: What's the path look like?
[2026/03/08 15:06] Sapphire: clear as in transparent?
[2026/03/08 15:07] Sonja Bikergrrl: it's sort of yellow bricks
[2026/03/08 15:08] Mecha: dont eat the yellow snow but follow the yellow snow road.
[2026/03/08 15:09] Sonja Bikergrrl: /me awaits intentions (and Jassie)
[2026/03/08 15:09] Joe: what are the ice elves doing ?
[2026/03/08 15:10] Sonja Bikergrrl: Leaving, they got better things to do than be held captive by crazy kobold cultists
[2026/03/08 15:10] Mecha: follow the path
[2026/03/08 15:10] Sonja Bikergrrl: onwards... to...
[2026/03/08 15:10] Sonja Bikergrrl: ...a broad, snow-filled courtyard, exposed to biting wind and swirling frost. Snow drifts pile high against jagged stone walls, and visibility is slightly obscured by blowing ice crystals.
[2026/03/08 15:11] Sonja Bikergrrl: CON checks all round!
[2026/03/08 15:11] D20: Joe rolls 8
[2026/03/08 15:11] D20: Sapphire rolls 12
[2026/03/08 15:12] Sonja Bikergrrl: & Mecha
[2026/03/08 15:13] D20: Mecha rolls 5
[2026/03/08 15:14] Sonja Bikergrrl: Much to the DMs disappointment, you all pass and suffer no adverse affects from the freezing cold.
[2026/03/08 15:14] Sonja Bikergrrl: There's a small "ice fort" of heaped snow in a circle. The crude circular ice fort is made of heaped snow reinforced with frozen timber, and above the fort floats something deeply unsettling... looking rather ominous, is a large glittering silver-white spiked orb, the size of a head with foot-long spikes.
[2026/03/08 15:15] Sapphire: does ithe orb have a pupil?
[2026/03/08 15:15] Sonja Bikergrrl: The orb does not appear to be instructing any students.
[2026/03/08 15:16] Joe: "Ice demon!"
[2026/03/08 15:18] Sapphire: Emily keeps behind the big strong members of the team, looking at the sides of the room. Smooth or with pillars to offer cover?
[2026/03/08 15:19] Joe: (Jassie!)
[2026/03/08 15:20] Mecha: Hi Jassie*
[2026/03/08 15:20] Jassie: heyaa
[2026/03/08 15:20] Sonja Bikergrrl: It's a courtyard, so, walls that stretch out some distance. Your main problem is indeed going to be visibility, if you step too far from the party you might never see them ever again.
[2026/03/08 15:20] Jassie: sorry
[2026/03/08 15:20] Mecha: Does the orb look like it is alive or just a spiky orb?
[2026/03/08 15:20] Sonja Bikergrrl: roll d20
[2026/03/08 15:22] D20: Sapphire rolls 14
[2026/03/08 15:23] D20: Mecha rolls 6
[2026/03/08 15:23] D20: Joe rolls 11
[2026/03/08 15:23] Sonja Bikergrrl: Sapphire: looks like some sort of item that a blacksmith might use, and therefore inanimate
[2026/03/08 15:24] Joe: Can we move around the outside of the ice demons 'nest' ?
[2026/03/08 15:24] Sonja Bikergrrl: Mecha: it's moving slowly, a lazy rotation about random axes. And despite the wind, it's hovering in place, even moving against the wind. It doesn't exactly look alive, per se... but some sentient force seems to be controlling it
[2026/03/08 15:24] Sonja Bikergrrl: If you stay close to each other, yes.
[2026/03/08 15:25] Sapphire: "Let's stay together and get to that fort thing."
[2026/03/08 15:25] Mecha: Sounds good" talia says as she begins moving carefully
[2026/03/08 15:25] Jassie: /me nods
[2026/03/08 15:25] Sonja Bikergrrl: Some roll D20 for perception
[2026/03/08 15:25] D20: Mecha rolls 4
[2026/03/08 15:26] D20: Jassie rolls 13
[2026/03/08 15:26] Sonja Bikergrrl: You can see a half dozen kobolds in the fort, they have tubes with flared mouths and wooden handles. They're aiming at you.
[2026/03/08 15:27] D20: Joe rolls 12
[2026/03/08 15:27] Sonja Bikergrrl: Looks like time to roll initiative
[2026/03/08 15:27] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 3
[2026/03/08 15:27] Sonja Bikergrrl: Oooh.
[2026/03/08 15:27] Joe: Could we circle around the fort to the far side of the courtyard?
[2026/03/08 15:27] Sapphire: All this mist.... perhaps... could i try to invoke more of tha tmist?
[2026/03/08 15:28] Sonja Bikergrrl: You can try, both of you
[2026/03/08 15:28] Sonja Bikergrrl: How will you do that, Sapphire?
[2026/03/08 15:28] Jassie: oh combat already?
[2026/03/08 15:28] D20: Mecha rolls 16
[2026/03/08 15:29] D20: Joe rolls 12
[2026/03/08 15:29] D20: Jassie rolls 7
[2026/03/08 15:29] Sonja Bikergrrl: combat is never far away...
[2026/03/08 15:30] Jassie: hehe
[2026/03/08 15:31] Sonja Bikergrrl: Sapphire?
[2026/03/08 15:32] D20: Sapphire rolls 19
[2026/03/08 15:33] Sonja Bikergrrl: uh oh
[2026/03/08 15:33] Sonja Bikergrrl: and how were you going to make mist?
[2026/03/08 15:33] Jassie: /me gigglesss
[2026/03/08 15:33] Jassie: hehehehe
[2026/03/08 15:33] Jassie: sorry, my stupid brain immediately went to fart
[2026/03/08 15:33] Sonja Bikergrrl: o_o
[2026/03/08 15:34] Sapphire: trying to intuit the spell for it?
[2026/03/08 15:35] Sonja Bikergrrl: right... first up... is the kobolds.... four of them aim their devices at you.... one each... so I guess everyone make DEX saves (roll d20)
[2026/03/08 15:36] D20: Jassie rolls 14
[2026/03/08 15:36] D6: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 4

[2026/03/08 15:37] D20: Joe rolls 4
[2026/03/08 15:37] D6: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 1
[2026/03/08 15:37] D6: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 1
[2026/03/08 15:37] Sonja Bikergrrl: Another BANG, Mecha takes.... 1 damage....

[2026/03/08 15:38] D6: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 5
[2026/03/08 15:38] D6: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 6
[2026/03/08 15:38] Sonja Bikergrrl: Another BANG and Joe takes 6 damage!
[2026/03/08 15:38] Joe: oof
[2026/03/08 15:39] Sonja Bikergrrl: Nothing else seems to happen, as the kobolds fiddle with their fire tubes.
[2026/03/08 15:39] Sonja Bikergrrl: Jassie, the fire cleric! What do you do
[2026/03/08 15:39] Jassie: grab onto Emily and cast Cure light wounds first
[2026/03/08 15:39] Jassie: actually serious wounds
[2026/03/08 15:40] Jassie: will use my 1 cast of it
[2026/03/08 15:40] Sonja Bikergrrl: what does that heal?
[2026/03/08 15:40] Jassie: checking
[2026/03/08 15:40] Sonja Bikergrrl: 2d8+1?
[2026/03/08 15:40] Jassie: can go next player first
[2026/03/08 15:40] Jassie: while i check
[2026/03/08 15:40] Sonja Bikergrrl: Joe!
[2026/03/08 15:41] Joe: I want to charge the kobolds and pour lamp oil on them while they're refilling their boom sticks
[2026/03/08 15:41] Jassie: 2d8+1
[2026/03/08 15:41] D8: Jassie rolls 1
[2026/03/08 15:41] D8: Jassie rolls 6
[2026/03/08 15:41] Jassie: oh fuck sakes

[2026/03/08 15:41] Sonja Bikergrrl: Emily: heals 8 hp
[2026/03/08 15:41] Joe: heals 8 HP thats still good
[2026/03/08 15:42] Sonja Bikergrrl: you can charge the kobolds and splash oil on two... are you sure that's what you want to do?
[2026/03/08 15:42] Joe: yeah i am going to set fire to the little bastards
[2026/03/08 15:42] Sonja Bikergrrl: okay... you charge forwards and splash oil on two....
[2026/03/08 15:43] Sapphire: how much health is Emily up to after the +8 ?
[2026/03/08 15:43] Sonja Bikergrrl: What's Talia going to do?
[2026/03/08 15:43] Sonja Bikergrrl: Emilt: 15/20hp
[2026/03/08 15:44] Mecha: I Already annoyed and marching towards the first kobold closest to me and grab them by the face and squeeze.. If it works an 18/50 strength should be an interesting squeeze play.
[2026/03/08 15:44] Sonja Bikergrrl: what is wrong with using your weapons...
[2026/03/08 15:45] Sonja Bikergrrl: not gonna ask if you're sure, I'm wearing that phrase out. Roll D20
[2026/03/08 15:45] D20: Mecha rolls 19
[2026/03/08 15:46] Mecha: because they are in the fort. figure they are leaning out to shoot so weapon would be less useful than this.
[2026/03/08 15:46] Sonja Bikergrrl: One down.
[2026/03/08 15:46] Sapphire: we're trying to be clever and get more done than plain weapon attacks
[2026/03/08 15:47] Sonja Bikergrrl: plain weapon attacks ALWAYS!!! do more damage that "being clever".
[2026/03/08 15:47] Sonja Bikergrrl: otherwise we wouldn't have weapons.
[2026/03/08 15:47] Sonja Bikergrrl: Emily! You're next
[2026/03/08 15:47] Mecha: Ewww kobold brains on my hands.
[2026/03/08 15:48] Sapphire: Did that oil get up in the fort?
[2026/03/08 15:48] Mecha: Also the idea of a human crushing a kobold head with their hands might demoralize them and make them run.
[2026/03/08 15:48] Jassie: hehehe
[2026/03/08 15:48] Sonja Bikergrrl: It got on two kobolds
[2026/03/08 15:48] Sapphire: Do i have a weay to light it?
[2026/03/08 15:48] Joe: i have a tinderbox
[2026/03/08 15:49] Sonja Bikergrrl: I don't know, Sapphire... do you?
[2026/03/08 15:49] Joe: Emily see's the tinderbox in my top pocket
[2026/03/08 15:50] Sapphire: Does my Magic Missile have enough of a firey nature to light stuff/
[2026/03/08 15:50] Sonja Bikergrrl: ...plate mail has top pockets now?
[2026/03/08 15:50] Sonja Bikergrrl: It's a dart of force, Sapphire, so, no
[2026/03/08 15:50] Joe: back pocket?
[2026/03/08 15:50] Jassie: sure they do hehe
[2026/03/08 15:52] Sapphire: Does it seem like i could actually get the tinderbox to catch the oil or am i better off chucking rocks at the bolds trying to reload?
[2026/03/08 15:52] Sapphire: I thought i'd gathered some knives from before....
[2026/03/08 15:53] Sonja Bikergrrl: well... trying to get the tinderbox is a very long shot
[2026/03/08 15:53] Sonja Bikergrrl: Not sure where you plan finding rocks
[2026/03/08 15:54] Sonja Bikergrrl: idk... you -could- use a perfectly good never-misses magic missile
[2026/03/08 15:54] Mecha: Attack the kobolds I have a tinderbox and I'm close enough to use it. throw something at them or something."
[2026/03/08 15:54] Sonja Bikergrrl: You already have your hands full, Mecha.
[2026/03/08 15:55] Sapphire: i'm low on them at this pont
[2026/03/08 15:55] Sapphire: but yeah, magic missile to take out as many of this kobolds who just bloodied me
[2026/03/08 15:55] Sonja Bikergrrl: Mmhmm, you got magic missile, shield, 2x web
[2026/03/08 15:55] Sonja Bikergrrl: targeting one each, or, all three to one?
[2026/03/08 15:56] Sapphire: distributing, that seems to have the best odds for these weenies
[2026/03/08 15:56] Sonja Bikergrrl: Roll 3d4
[2026/03/08 15:56] Sonja Bikergrrl: no
[2026/03/08 15:56] Sonja Bikergrrl: 4d4

[2026/03/08 15:59] Sonja Bikergrrl: Four kobolds die in a fit of agony.
[2026/03/08 15:59] Sapphire: How many left?
[2026/03/08 15:59] Mecha: /me salutes politely.
[2026/03/08 15:59] Sonja Bikergrrl: One, plus the spikey orb
[2026/03/08 15:59] Sonja Bikergrrl: end of round... back to monsters
[2026/03/08 16:00] Sonja Bikergrrl: Kobold aims tube at Mecha.... BANG! Fire and gravel spray out. DEX check!

[2026/03/08 16:02] Joe: good. I still set fire to them
[2026/03/08 16:02] Sonja Bikergrrl: Jassie!
[2026/03/08 16:02] Joe: flint and steel from the tinderbox will catch as easily as lamp oil

[2026/03/08 16:06] Sonja Bikergrrl: Oh well :-)
[2026/03/08 16:06] Sonja Bikergrrl: Joe! What you going to do?
[2026/03/08 16:07] Joe: set fire to the kobolds
[2026/03/08 16:07] Sonja Bikergrrl: are you sure you want to do that?
[2026/03/08 16:07] Sonja Bikergrrl: Like, -really- sure?
[2026/03/08 16:07] Joe: it can probably wait
[2026/03/08 16:07] Joe: the sensible thing to do would be put an axe into that spiky thing
[2026/03/08 16:07] Sonja Bikergrrl: kid, you're catching on
[2026/03/08 16:07] Sonja Bikergrrl: Roll d20!

[2026/03/08 16:08] Sonja Bikergrrl: You swing wildly at the cold spiked orb, but it nimbly dodges back
[2026/03/08 16:08] Sonja Bikergrrl: There's still one surviving kobold
[2026/03/08 16:08] Sonja Bikergrrl: Mecha!
[2026/03/08 16:08] Joe: see this is why we need a big fat black plume of kobold smoke to blind the demonic thing
[2026/03/08 16:09] Jassie: lolol
[2026/03/08 16:09] Mecha: Gonna eschew the weapon again grab the kobold and throw it at the spikes
[2026/03/08 16:09] Sonja Bikergrrl: Are you sure you want to do that?
[2026/03/08 16:09] Mecha: *Trying to be creative here*
[2026/03/08 16:10] Mecha: Yes, final answer
[2026/03/08 16:10] D20: Mecha rolls 19
[2026/03/08 16:10] Sonja Bikergrrl: Roll d20 to ... okay, you grabbed him.
[2026/03/08 16:10] Sonja Bikergrrl: Roll STR check.
[2026/03/08 16:10] D20: Mecha rolls 4
[2026/03/08 16:10] Sonja Bikergrrl: That's a good throw.
[2026/03/08 16:10] Mecha: rolled under for strength check which is good if this one remembers
[2026/03/08 16:10] Sonja Bikergrrl: Roll D20 again, to attack the orb.
[2026/03/08 16:11] D20: Mecha rolls 15
[2026/03/08 16:11] Sonja Bikergrrl: Yes, you can throw him 14 feet.
[2026/03/08 16:11] Sonja Bikergrrl: You fling him at the ice orb.
[2026/03/08 16:11] Sonja Bikergrrl: Ice orb "catches" the kobold, and places him back on the ground, on his feet again.
[2026/03/08 16:11] Sonja Bikergrrl: Sapphire!
[2026/03/08 16:13] Sapphire: there are tubes still on the ground, yeah? from the kobolds we defeated? Can i grab one and try to operate it?
[2026/03/08 16:13] Sonja Bikergrrl: That's going to present you with several difficulties.
[2026/03/08 16:14] Sapphire: do their tubes have knives on the end?
[2026/03/08 16:14] Sonja Bikergrrl: 1. You don't know how they work. 2. You will have great difficulty operating it. 3. You may notice a slight size difference. 4. Crude kobold technology tends to explode, even if operated correctly
[2026/03/08 16:15] Sonja Bikergrrl: The tubes have a flared mouth at one end, and a wooden grip the other
[2026/03/08 16:15] Sonja Bikergrrl: At best, you can use it as a tiny club.
[2026/03/08 16:16] Jassie: lol, that sounds funny
[2026/03/08 16:17] Sonja Bikergrrl: Admittedly it's a viable option if you got nothing else
[2026/03/08 16:17] Mecha: throw it at the kobold if we are using movie rules even if you miss it might accidentally fire and kill him
[2026/03/08 16:17] Sonja Bikergrrl: but at the very least you have a dagger
[2026/03/08 16:17] Sapphire: i kinda don't, really
[2026/03/08 16:17] Sapphire: i really need more daggers
[2026/03/08 16:17] Sonja Bikergrrl: you do, you got 1.
[2026/03/08 16:17] Sapphire: um, let's do the basic thin i think
[2026/03/08 16:18] Sapphire: get behind that big orb and stab my dagger into one of it's seams
[2026/03/08 16:18] Sapphire: I need enough to be able to throw them!
[2026/03/08 16:18] D20: Sapphire rolls 4
[2026/03/08 16:18] Sonja Bikergrrl: you stab at it, but, this proves ineffectual.
[2026/03/08 16:18] Sonja Bikergrrl: It was a good plan, though.
[2026/03/08 16:19] Sonja Bikergrrl: End of round! monsters go next
[2026/03/08 16:19] Sonja Bikergrrl: Kobold dumps his fire tube and draws out a dagger, and lunges at Talia
[2026/03/08 16:19] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 19
[2026/03/08 16:19] D4: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 4
[2026/03/08 16:20] Sonja Bikergrrl: I'm sure Talia will be fine.
[2026/03/08 16:20] Sonja Bikergrrl: Ice orb lunges at Joe again
[2026/03/08 16:20] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 20
[2026/03/08 16:20] Joe: dodge it !
[2026/03/08 16:20] Sonja Bikergrrl: ...
[2026/03/08 16:20] Jassie: wtf sonja...
[2026/03/08 16:20] Sonja Bikergrrl: uhm.
[2026/03/08 16:20] Sonja Bikergrrl: Er.
[2026/03/08 16:20] Sonja Bikergrrl: well, Joe rolls 2D10
[2026/03/08 16:20] D6: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 1
[2026/03/08 16:20] D6: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 5
[2026/03/08 16:21] D10: Joe rolls 10
[2026/03/08 16:21] D10: Joe rolls 9
[2026/03/08 16:21] Joe: what happened to Talia ?
[2026/03/08 16:21] Sonja Bikergrrl: 19....
[2026/03/08 16:21] Sonja Bikergrrl: Ah, that's not so bad.
[2026/03/08 16:21] Mecha: Talia just got really irritated
[2026/03/08 16:21] Joe: also fighters get 3 attacks every 2 rounds and this is round 2 or 3
[2026/03/08 16:22] Sonja Bikergrrl: Joe takes the blow squarely in the face. He sees stars... and, probably, takes some extra damage. Yet to be made apparant!
[2026/03/08 16:23] Sonja Bikergrrl: I'm sure I said last time: fighters remind me of your extra attacks. I got enough going on my side of the DM screen
[2026/03/08 16:23] Joe: ^reminder
[2026/03/08 16:23] Sonja Bikergrrl: but, Mecha and Joe: you get your 2nd attacks now.
[2026/03/08 16:23] Mecha: got it
[2026/03/08 16:23] Joe: k i have 50' rope here
[2026/03/08 16:23] Joe: I am making a lassoo
[2026/03/08 16:23] Mecha: taking the sword to kobold
[2026/03/08 16:23] Sonja Bikergrrl: /me draws attention to the word "attacks"
[2026/03/08 16:23] D20: Mecha rolls 5
[2026/03/08 16:24] Sonja Bikergrrl: Oh, yeah, that's the other thing
[2026/03/08 16:24] Sonja Bikergrrl: grabbing enemies and tossing them is -very- different from swinging a sword.
[2026/03/08 16:24] Joe: attacking the spiky ball with the rope by throwing it on top and getting it caught in between the spikes
[2026/03/08 16:25] Joe: not count as a attack?
[2026/03/08 16:25] Sonja Bikergrrl: No.
[2026/03/08 16:25] Sonja Bikergrrl: You attacked with an axe.
[2026/03/08 16:25] Sonja Bikergrrl: Your second attack is with an axe.
[2026/03/08 16:25] Joe: I will again attack it with an axe
[2026/03/08 16:25] D20: Joe rolls 8
[2026/03/08 16:25] Sonja Bikergrrl: hits AC 6....
[2026/03/08 16:25] Joe: d6+1 dam
[2026/03/08 16:25] D6: Joe rolls 1
[2026/03/08 16:26] Sonja Bikergrrl: would've hit the kobold, but, the ice orb is AC 2.
[2026/03/08 16:26] Sonja Bikergrrl: okay... end of combat round... and monsters already attacked
[2026/03/08 16:27] Sonja Bikergrrl: Jassie! Save the day.
[2026/03/08 16:28] Sonja Bikergrrl: ...while we wait for Jassie.... Joe
[2026/03/08 16:29] Joe: Now can i have some rope play ?
[2026/03/08 16:29] Sonja Bikergrrl: Are you sure you want to do that?
[2026/03/08 16:29] Joe: i am sure
[2026/03/08 16:29] Jassie: sorry
[2026/03/08 16:29] Jassie: bathroom
[2026/03/08 16:29] Joe: i mean, what possibly could go wrong ?
[2026/03/08 16:29] Sonja Bikergrrl: okay. What are you going to do?
[2026/03/08 16:30] Jassie: still that kobold there?
[2026/03/08 16:30] Sonja Bikergrrl: It is.
[2026/03/08 16:30] Joe: throw the rope over the top of the spiky floating ball, so it 'catches', and then drag it down to the ground so we can collectively batter the shit into it
[2026/03/08 16:30] Jassie: cast produce flame and throw at him
[2026/03/08 16:30] Joe: this is my cunning plan
[2026/03/08 16:31] Joe: sorry Jassie go first
[2026/03/08 16:31] D4: Jassie rolls 1
[2026/03/08 16:31] Jassie: oh for fucks sake
[2026/03/08 16:31] Jassie: 2dmg...
[2026/03/08 16:31] Sonja Bikergrrl: As a melee weapon or as a thrown weapon?
[2026/03/08 16:31] Jassie: oh wait need to hit
[2026/03/08 16:32] Jassie: either way
[2026/03/08 16:32] Jassie: its a 1
[2026/03/08 16:32] Jassie: oh wait i rolled a 4
[2026/03/08 16:32] Jassie: nvm
[2026/03/08 16:32] Sonja Bikergrrl: Roll D20 to see if you hit.
[2026/03/08 16:32] Jassie: but yea throw
[2026/03/08 16:32] D20: Jassie rolls 2
[2026/03/08 16:32] Jassie: 2
[2026/03/08 16:32] Jassie: great
[2026/03/08 16:32] Sonja Bikergrrl: o_o
[2026/03/08 16:32] Sonja Bikergrrl: I just won't say anything.
[2026/03/08 16:33] Sonja Bikergrrl: You have 6 more flames.
[2026/03/08 16:33] Sapphire: Emily and Jassie really need to teach each other some spells once we get a week of downtime
[2026/03/08 16:34] Sonja Bikergrrl: Joe. Roll 2D20
[2026/03/08 16:34] D20: Joe rolls 18
[2026/03/08 16:34] D20: Joe rolls 9
[2026/03/08 16:36] Sonja Bikergrrl: You try to tie the old frozen rope into a lassoo. However, in a howling gale, this is not so easy. You throw the rope... it lands in a tangled heap 5' away.
[2026/03/08 16:36] Sonja Bikergrrl: Mecha: heal 1hp and your go
[2026/03/08 16:36] Mecha: Going for the Kobold again
[2026/03/08 16:36] Mecha: with sword
[2026/03/08 16:37] D20: Mecha rolls 12
[2026/03/08 16:37] Sonja Bikergrrl: that's a hit... roll d8
[2026/03/08 16:37] D8: Mecha rolls 6
[2026/03/08 16:37] Sonja Bikergrrl: 11 damage. He's dead.
[2026/03/08 16:37] Sonja Bikergrrl: Sapphire!
[2026/03/08 16:38] Sapphire: Stabbing something sharp into the orb to get it off our party members
[2026/03/08 16:38] D20: Sapphire rolls 7
[2026/03/08 16:38] Sonja Bikergrrl: like, your dagger?
[2026/03/08 16:38] Sonja Bikergrrl: Hmm. Maybe if you held it the other way round.
[2026/03/08 16:38] Sonja Bikergrrl: End of round, Mecha, 2nd attack with sword
[2026/03/08 16:39] Mecha: aiming for the orb
[2026/03/08 16:39] D20: Mecha rolls 16
[2026/03/08 16:39] Sonja Bikergrrl: hits AC -2... good hit
[2026/03/08 16:39] Sonja Bikergrrl: d8+5
[2026/03/08 16:39] D8: Mecha rolls 7
[2026/03/08 16:39] Sonja Bikergrrl: A good hit! But it's still in one piece.
[2026/03/08 16:40] Sonja Bikergrrl: End of round... orb attacks... Talia
[2026/03/08 16:40] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 6
[2026/03/08 16:40] Sonja Bikergrrl: no it doesn't.
[2026/03/08 16:40] Sonja Bikergrrl: Jassie!
[2026/03/08 16:41] Sonja Bikergrrl: Joe, meanwhile?
[2026/03/08 16:42] Joe: i try to lassoo the spiker again
[2026/03/08 16:42] Sonja Bikergrrl: Roll 2D20 again.
[2026/03/08 16:43] D20: Joe rolls 14
[2026/03/08 16:43] D20: Joe rolls 18
[2026/03/08 16:43] Sonja Bikergrrl: You still have a mighty hard time tying a knot in a frozen rotten rope. It slides off and falls 5' to your right.
[2026/03/08 16:43] Sonja Bikergrrl: Mecha
[2026/03/08 16:44] Mecha: Swing swing swing, chop chop chop
[2026/03/08 16:44] D20: Mecha rolls 9
[2026/03/08 16:44] Sonja Bikergrrl: Lowest roll that can hit. D8, add 5
[2026/03/08 16:44] D8: Mecha rolls 5
[2026/03/08 16:44] Jassie: throw another time
[2026/03/08 16:45] Sonja Bikergrrl: D20, Jassie
[2026/03/08 16:45] Jassie: i will get it to hit if it kills me haha
[2026/03/08 16:45] D20: Jassie rolls 19
[2026/03/08 16:45] Jassie: FINALLY
[2026/03/08 16:45] Sonja Bikergrrl: That's a hit! D4, add 1
[2026/03/08 16:45] D4: Jassie rolls 1
[2026/03/08 16:45] Jassie: LOL\
[2026/03/08 16:45] Sonja Bikergrrl: Doubled for 4 damage.
[2026/03/08 16:45] Jassie: its something
[2026/03/08 16:45] Jassie: combusts?
[2026/03/08 16:45] Sonja Bikergrrl: It's now looking increasingly damage
[2026/03/08 16:46] Jassie: boom? hehe
[2026/03/08 16:46] Sonja Bikergrrl: No... you're in the Ice Realm... it takes double damage from fire-based attacks. I did give you a clue earlier.
[2026/03/08 16:46] Sonja Bikergrrl: Sapphire!
[2026/03/08 16:46] Jassie: no but does it catch on fire? and blows up in the area
[2026/03/08 16:47] Sonja Bikergrrl: Ice neither catches fire nor explodes.
[2026/03/08 16:47] Jassie: okkk
[2026/03/08 16:47] Mecha: plus considering I am in striking distance and it is covered in spikes do you WANT it to explode?
[2026/03/08 16:47] Jassie: HAHA
[2026/03/08 16:47] Sonja Bikergrrl: YES! YES IT EXPLODES!!!
[2026/03/08 16:47] Sonja Bikergrrl: /me coughs
[2026/03/08 16:47] Sapphire: ack
[2026/03/08 16:47] Sonja Bikergrrl: Sapphire!
[2026/03/08 16:48] Sapphire: um, since my dagger seems useless, i'm gonna look around in this fort for something helpful, anything i can see?
[2026/03/08 16:48] Sonja Bikergrrl: I guess you could fling kobold weapons for 1d2 damage
[2026/03/08 16:49] Sapphire: in that case dagger again
[2026/03/08 16:49] D20: Sapphire rolls 12
[2026/03/08 16:49] Sonja Bikergrrl: hits AC 6....
[2026/03/08 16:49] Sonja Bikergrrl: it was a nice try
[2026/03/08 16:49] Sonja Bikergrrl: end of round, back to start
[2026/03/08 16:50] Sonja Bikergrrl: Spiked orb lunges at Talia
[2026/03/08 16:50] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 1
[2026/03/08 16:50] Sonja Bikergrrl: ...
[2026/03/08 16:50] Sonja Bikergrrl: Jassie
[2026/03/08 16:51] Sonja Bikergrrl: or Joe
[2026/03/08 16:51] Jassie: throws the flame again i guess
[2026/03/08 16:51] Mecha: hehehe
[2026/03/08 16:51] Sonja Bikergrrl: d20
[2026/03/08 16:51] D20: Jassie rolls 20
[2026/03/08 16:52] Sonja Bikergrrl: well...
[2026/03/08 16:52] Jassie: WOOOO when i have seen that in ages
[2026/03/08 16:52] Sonja Bikergrrl: roll d4
[2026/03/08 16:52] Mecha: *SNERK*
[2026/03/08 16:52] D4: Jassie rolls 2
[2026/03/08 16:52] Sonja Bikergrrl: 3 damage
[2026/03/08 16:52] Jassie: so 6?
[2026/03/08 16:52] Sonja Bikergrrl: x2 for crit makes 6
[2026/03/08 16:52] Sonja Bikergrrl: x2 for being vulnerable to fire makes 12
[2026/03/08 16:52] Sonja Bikergrrl: It now looks -very- badly damaged.
[2026/03/08 16:53] Sonja Bikergrrl: Joe!
[2026/03/08 16:53] Joe: one last attempt to lassoo the spiky orb
[2026/03/08 16:53] D20: Joe rolls 18
[2026/03/08 16:53] D20: Joe rolls 1
[2026/03/08 16:54] Sonja Bikergrrl: well, you still can't tie a knot in a snowstorm, and, fuck knows where you threw the rope.
[2026/03/08 16:54] Sonja Bikergrrl: so, yes, last attempt
[2026/03/08 16:54] Sonja Bikergrrl: you have no more 50' lengths of old frozen rope.
[2026/03/08 16:54] Sonja Bikergrrl: Talia!
[2026/03/08 16:55] Mecha: She slices, she dices she makes Julienne fries.
[2026/03/08 16:55] D20: Mecha rolls 1
[2026/03/08 16:55] Sonja Bikergrrl: o_o
[2026/03/08 16:55] Mecha: or she misses and stabs herself in the foot
[2026/03/08 16:55] Sonja Bikergrrl: Emily!
[2026/03/08 16:55] Sonja Bikergrrl: Don't tempt me.
[2026/03/08 16:56] Sapphire: another stab attempt, leaping up to get a good hit in
[2026/03/08 16:56] D20: Sapphire rolls 20
[2026/03/08 16:56] Sonja Bikergrrl: see? You can do it!
[2026/03/08 16:56] Sonja Bikergrrl: D4
[2026/03/08 16:56] Sapphire: is it immune to crits or something?
[2026/03/08 16:56] D4: Sapphire rolls 4
[2026/03/08 16:56] Sonja Bikergrrl: Not last time it got critted it wasn't
[2026/03/08 16:57] Sonja Bikergrrl: It explodes in a shower of ice fragments
[2026/03/08 16:57] Jassie: uh oh
[2026/03/08 16:57] Sonja Bikergrrl: guess it wasn't immune this time either
[2026/03/08 16:57] Mecha: does this one need a dex check or is she a pincushion?
[2026/03/08 16:57] Sonja Bikergrrl: from pieces of ice?
[2026/03/08 16:57] Sapphire: She shudders, landing heavy, then reaching down to pick up and inspect some of these fragments
[2026/03/08 16:58] Mecha: hi velocity pieces of ice and it had spikes
[2026/03/08 16:58] Mecha: high velocity even
[2026/03/08 16:58] Sonja Bikergrrl: it was more a "pop" of an exploding balloon than a "boom" of an exploding pressure vessel
[2026/03/08 16:58] Mecha: groovy
[2026/03/08 16:58] Sonja Bikergrrl: they're inch long pieces of very cold ice.
[2026/03/08 16:59] Joe: hooray that thing is dead
[2026/03/08 16:59] Sonja Bikergrrl: if you spend a few hours searching, you might find them all.
[2026/03/08 16:59] Sonja Bikergrrl: so, now what?
[2026/03/08 16:59] Jassie: sits down
[2026/03/08 16:59] Jassie: lol
[2026/03/08 17:00] Mecha: Keep moving and strip kobolds of anything useful, tossing one of the little bastards boom stick."Can one of you figure this thing out I am tired of being on the receiving end of them."
[2026/03/08 17:00] Sonja Bikergrrl: You find another: "Anfon Pâr Pedwar o Garreg" (Sending Stone Pair Four)
[2026/03/08 17:01] Sapphire: "Those are terrifying. We should figure out how to turn them against...." she picks up the other sending stone, fiddling with it to see if it has any controls on it
[2026/03/08 17:01] Sonja Bikergrrl: It's not a radio set.
[2026/03/08 17:02] Jassie: yes if we can figure out how it works, it would certainly be a good thing to see theirt stupid faces as we blast them with it
[2026/03/08 17:02] Sonja Bikergrrl: ...see above comments...
[2026/03/08 17:03] Sapphire: Alright, if the sending stone doesn't make any sense... she'll start investigating the metal tubes with jassie, checking for any other tools or weird material components the kobolds were using
[2026/03/08 17:04] Sonja Bikergrrl: /me sighs.
[2026/03/08 17:04] Sonja Bikergrrl: I said "they're not radio sets". That's very different from "they make no sense"
[2026/03/08 17:04] Joe: I am setting fire to the oily kobolds with my flint and steel
[2026/03/08 17:04] Sonja Bikergrrl: roll d20
[2026/03/08 17:04] Sapphire: so... what is Emily able to deduce about these sending stones?
[2026/03/08 17:05] D20: Sapphire rolls 10
[2026/03/08 17:05] Sonja Bikergrrl: roll d20
[2026/03/08 17:05] D20: Sapphire rolls 17
[2026/03/08 17:05] Sonja Bikergrrl: They're marked "sending stones"
[2026/03/08 17:05] Sonja Bikergrrl: you're aware of the spell "message" which sends a message
[2026/03/08 17:06] Sonja Bikergrrl: you've seen kobolds shouting at them
[2026/03/08 17:06] Sapphire: so just always on?
[2026/03/08 17:06] Jassie: can i try and figure out those tubes?
[2026/03/08 17:06] Sonja Bikergrrl: it would seem a logical deduction that you concentrate, voice a message, and the other "hears" it somehow.
[2026/03/08 17:07] Sonja Bikergrrl: you might want to try that out sometime, but remember magic does have limitations
[2026/03/08 17:07] Sapphire: She'll toss one of the pair to the other mage in the team and think really hard at the stone
[2026/03/08 17:07] Sonja Bikergrrl: ...there's another mage???
[2026/03/08 17:08] Mecha: *Going to microwave dinner when we start moving Talia is going with. brb*
[2026/03/08 17:08] Sonja Bikergrrl: also: Jassie - you can roll d20 to try to figure the tubes out.
[2026/03/08 17:08] D20: Joe rolls 2
[2026/03/08 17:08] D20: Jassie rolls 19
[2026/03/08 17:08] Sapphire: what's Jassie then?
[2026/03/08 17:08] Sonja Bikergrrl: Fuck knows how they work. Perhaps you blow in it or something.
[2026/03/08 17:09] Jassie: Im a cleric hehe
[2026/03/08 17:09] Jassie: blow into it
[2026/03/08 17:09] Sonja Bikergrrl: Joe: you strike sparks on a kobold, but in this cold, it fails to catch.
[2026/03/08 17:09] Sonja Bikergrrl: Jassie: roll d20
[2026/03/08 17:10] D20: Jassie rolls 15
[2026/03/08 17:10] Sapphire: oooooh
[2026/03/08 17:11] Sapphire: in that case at whoever seems least like they have a plan
[2026/03/08 17:11] Sonja Bikergrrl: nothing happens... maybe you need to suck
[2026/03/08 17:11] Jassie: I'm just a cleric thats like blowing shit up too
[2026/03/08 17:11] Jassie: ok, your making fun of me now
[2026/03/08 17:11] Sonja Bikergrrl: ... least like? or -at- least like?
[2026/03/08 17:11] Sonja Bikergrrl: what? I went with what you rolled!
[2026/03/08 17:11] Sapphire: the person i will be interrupting the least by making them hold onto strange rocks
[2026/03/08 17:11] Jassie: suck
[2026/03/08 17:11] D20: Jassie rolls 1
[2026/03/08 17:12] Jassie: there
[2026/03/08 17:12] Sonja Bikergrrl: You get a mouthful of ash and an acrid tasting residue.
[2026/03/08 17:12] Jassie: spits all over
[2026/03/08 17:12] Sonja Bikergrrl: good girls s...nope, nope, nope.
[2026/03/08 17:13] Sonja Bikergrrl: I guess Talia is the only one not currently engaged in insanity
[2026/03/08 17:13] Sapphire: gonna focus my attention on the tubes again
[2026/03/08 17:13] Sonja Bikergrrl: ...what about the stones?
[2026/03/08 17:14] Mecha: Talia: I say we work and walk at the same time.'Damn hotti. er that evil ice queens gonna thaw before we get to her at this rate."
[2026/03/08 17:14] Sapphire: everything i tried quickly didn't work, but also we need better weapons more than we need a way to send messages
[2026/03/08 17:14] Sonja Bikergrrl: you literally didn't try anything
[2026/03/08 17:15] Sonja Bikergrrl: also, if you want to switch to examining tubes... d20
[2026/03/08 17:16] D20: Sapphire rolls 4
[2026/03/08 17:17] Sonja Bikergrrl: Now we're getting somewhere. It's a mechanically operated device that somehow projects gravel via some sort of explosion. It's designed for kobold hands... and... looks like some apprentice blacksmith made it with poor quality iron.
[2026/03/08 17:18] Sapphire: She checks the ends and middle for any sort of mobile parts. "No magic in this? Or at least nothing that survived being used... but they acted like it was going to be able to go off again." She considers what she saw of how they were reloading them before she blasted the bolds.
[2026/03/08 17:19] Sonja Bikergrrl: As far as you can tell, the least magical thing you've seen. There is a tiny hole at the end with the wooden handle. It looks designed for something - like gravel, for one - to be poured in.
[2026/03/08 17:21] Sapphire: "I think I can try testing one of these out," she announces, checking the kobolds for any special gravel or other stuff, then working on getting a set into the tube.
[2026/03/08 17:21] Joe: I'm going to scout around looking for other eays out of this courtyard
[2026/03/08 17:21] Joe: *ways
[2026/03/08 17:21] Jassie: ooooo thats how the tube works
[2026/03/08 17:22] Sonja Bikergrrl: if you insist, despite my repeated warnings... you do notice the kobolds have some pouches of wierd grey particles, and lengths of string, and flints and steel
[2026/03/08 17:24] Sapphire: ...."Maybe the one of us who regenerates should be the one to try the first few times?" she suggests, about halfway through gathering up the pouches. Snagging a flint and steel too, those are generally useful
[2026/03/08 17:24] Mecha: Talia looks at joe as she eats some of her rations."got your eye back yet?"
[2026/03/08 17:24] Sonja Bikergrrl: You now have a poor quality flint and steel.
[2026/03/08 17:24] Sapphire: butter than nothing
[2026/03/08 17:25] Sonja Bikergrrl: I think you're literally better off with nothing
[2026/03/08 17:25] Jassie: its something yea
[2026/03/08 17:25] Jassie: im still holding my back and aching
[2026/03/08 17:27] Sapphire: "I think we put a mix of powder and gravel in here, then..." she ponders the string and light. "How to set it off? A bit of fire?"
[2026/03/08 17:27] Sonja Bikergrrl: also, Talia: no
[2026/03/08 17:27] Sonja Bikergrrl: Jassie has a fire she can lend you!
[2026/03/08 17:28] Jassie: yes i do
[2026/03/08 17:28] Jassie: for awhile more
[2026/03/08 17:29] Sapphire: "Shall we?" She looks at where the tubes are pointing, aiming at a bare patch of wall.
[2026/03/08 17:29] Jassie: passes the flame to Talia
[2026/03/08 17:29] Jassie: Emily I mean
[2026/03/08 17:30] Sonja Bikergrrl: A loud PUFF and there's a breeze and a puff of smoke.
[2026/03/08 17:31] Sapphire: "Woah!" She coughs a bit, and looks at the wall she was aiming at.
[2026/03/08 17:31] Sonja Bikergrrl: It's still a wall.
[2026/03/08 17:32] Sapphire: no apparent damage?
[2026/03/08 17:32] Sonja Bikergrrl: None that you can see.
[2026/03/08 17:32] Sapphire: "hmmmm. I wonder what we did wrong. WE might need to interrogate some of the kobolds to figure that out."
[2026/03/08 17:33] Sonja Bikergrrl: /me won't say anything. There's only so many times you can say "Are you sure".
[2026/03/08 17:33] Sonja Bikergrrl: Right... work tomorrow, so, see you all tomorrow or whenever!
[2026/03/08 17:33] Joe: night DM Sonja
[2026/03/08 17:34] Jassie: gniteee
[2026/03/08 17:34] Jassie: thank you for the amazing game
[2026/03/08 17:34] Sapphire: yes! Thank you for running even if our antics appear to infuriate you
[2026/03/08 17:35] Sonja Bikergrrl: I'm not saying a damn thing.
[2026/03/08 17:35] Jassie: hahaha
[2026/03/08 17:35] Sonja Bikergrrl: Night!
