[2026/08/16 14:24] Sonja Bikergrrl: did not get the log posted, sorry
[2026/08/16 14:25] Sonja Bikergrrl: but you completed the Great Slime Adventure and now get to return to Milton. You successfully got the Power Gem, and got a lolly each that promises magical aid, or, annoyance.
[2026/08/16 14:26] Sonja Bikergrrl: And with that recap out of the way GRRRRREEEETTTTIIINNGGSSS Adventurers! Other players get to feast on legendary dragon steaks, you get gelatinous cubes on lolly sticks
[2026/08/16 14:26] Sonja Bikergrrl: You return to find the settlement of Milton in poor shape, indeed. Defensive walls have been breached, the stonework shattered and spread out over a wide area. Human forces are stubbornly holding the line, but numerous kobold warriors are swaming forwards. It's obvious the humans defending Milton are about to be overwhelmed.
[2026/08/16 14:28] Sonja Bikergrrl: There's a low hill, where an obvious command tent has been pitched, with a hastily-erected observation tower nearby. There's a pair of kobolds in the tower, shading their eyes and yipping excitedly. What looks like the leader and his bodyguards are watching, barking out orders. Nearby, some kobolds pound on drums, while two kobolds handle a long tube nearby. There's a picket of a dozen kobolds, protecting the leadership.
[2026/08/16 14:28] Sapphire: "If ever a crisis called for trusting in mysterious power...." Emily says, pulling her cube lolly out, poking it between thumb and forefinger to feel how it is, before pressing it into her mouth.
[2026/08/16 14:28] Sapphire: She didn't get where she is in life by over-analyzing the risks of power seeking behavior!
[2026/08/16 14:29] Sonja Bikergrrl: /me smirks, victim #1 it is....
[2026/08/16 14:29] Jassie: lol
[2026/08/16 14:29] Sonja Bikergrrl: Roll a D6, Sapphire
[2026/08/16 14:30] D6: Sapphire rolls 2
[2026/08/16 14:30] Sapphire: is that the "turn into a massive slimegirl" one?
[2026/08/16 14:31] Sonja Bikergrrl: The cube is slightly cool, slightly quivery... tastes of mint and... there's a small bone in it!
[2026/08/16 14:31] Sonja Bikergrrl: You gain 2 skeleton followers.
[2026/08/16 14:32] Jassie: eyes widen, "oh definitely my type of spell, says out loud"
[2026/08/16 14:32] Sapphire: "Oh!" She looks to either side of herself, waving to the skeletons. Do they have clothes on?
[2026/08/16 14:32] Sonja Bikergrrl: No, they're quite naked.
[2026/08/16 14:33] Mecha: Talia looks at this."Everywhere we go you make new friends
[2026/08/16 14:33] Sonja Bikergrrl: Indeed!
[2026/08/16 14:34] Sonja Bikergrrl: So, now what?
[2026/08/16 14:34] Sapphire: She looks over the kobold commander. "We'd been trying to find him for a while now..." How far away is he?
[2026/08/16 14:34] Jassie: "well done Emily."
[2026/08/16 14:34] Sapphire: and that ominous tubular aparatus?
[2026/08/16 14:34] Sonja Bikergrrl: Quite some distance away, and yes, you've seen that thing before.
[2026/08/16 14:35] Sonja Bikergrrl: And, there's two kobolds, excitedly shouting propaganda through tin cones: "Humens! Give up, we let live! Put sword down, hands in air! We take prisoner, give food, warm fire! "Scalies! Kill the humens! For Emberclaw! Emberclaw watching! For great god, kill humens! No mercy humens!"
[2026/08/16 14:35] Jassie: oh we have?
[2026/08/16 14:35] Sonja Bikergrrl: You have!
[2026/08/16 14:36] Sapphire: it blew up something feirce last time we saw, yes?
[2026/08/16 14:36] Jassie: and where would we have seen>
[2026/08/16 14:36] Sonja Bikergrrl: Yep. They do indeed make loud bangs.
[2026/08/16 14:37] Sonja Bikergrrl: What're your plans?
[2026/08/16 14:37] Mecha: How are the guards at the bottom of the observation tower?
[2026/08/16 14:38] Jassie: (i think i kinda remember sort of)
[2026/08/16 14:38] Sonja Bikergrrl: There's a dozen, looking belligerant and watchful, with various weapons to ensure you have a difficult time
[2026/08/16 14:39] Sapphire: "I have an idea," she announces to the team
[2026/08/16 14:39] Sapphire: "Get that tube pointed at the commander or the guard tower."
[2026/08/16 14:39] Jassie: hmm?
[2026/08/16 14:39] Sonja Bikergrrl: /me facepalms. "Oh vey"
[2026/08/16 14:39] Mecha: Talia: I'm listening.
[2026/08/16 14:40] Jassie: and how would we get doing it?
[2026/08/16 14:41] Sonja Bikergrrl: this I gotta hear
[2026/08/16 14:42] Jassie: (the sky queen already has little faith in us after all lol)
[2026/08/16 14:43] Sonja Bikergrrl: The DM has exactly the amount of faith in you that you've earnt
[2026/08/16 14:43] Sapphire: "It would require getting up to it and turning it," she answers, thinking.
[2026/08/16 14:43] Sapphire: How much ground and obstacle do we have to cover to get up to it?
[2026/08/16 14:43] Sonja Bikergrrl: Several hundred feet. You're not at the base of the tower, by far.
[2026/08/16 14:44] Sonja Bikergrrl: and you do have a line of defenders to deal with
[2026/08/16 14:45] Mecha: too bad we don't have explosives of our own?
[2026/08/16 14:45] Sapphire: several hundred feet, and the line of defenders.
[2026/08/16 14:45] Sapphire: so we'd need to once again sneak
[2026/08/16 14:45] Sonja Bikergrrl: indeed, if only you had some explosive options.
[2026/08/16 14:45] Jassie: its a line or they bunches up?
[2026/08/16 14:46] Sapphire: /me ponders. "I do have a spell or two."
[2026/08/16 14:46] Sonja Bikergrrl: or seven
[2026/08/16 14:46] Jassie: i definitely have 1
[2026/08/16 14:47] Sonja Bikergrrl: 11.
[2026/08/16 14:47] Mecha: Talia looks at you. If you can set the twoer on fire they wont be able to come down from it except the hard way
[2026/08/16 14:47] Sapphire: am i fully topped up?
[2026/08/16 14:47] Sonja Bikergrrl: You've not had a chance to rest yet.
[2026/08/16 14:47] Sapphire: "I only have a bit of fire," she admits. "But the ice queens power still lingers."
[2026/08/16 14:48] Sapphire: She muses to herself that an Ice Storm ought to mess these guys up quite a lot... if she can get close enough to hit the commander with it
[2026/08/16 14:48] Jassie: /me shrugs, "just the tower?"
[2026/08/16 14:48] Mecha: IF you can wreck everything on the Kobold side then do so, otherwise...
[2026/08/16 14:49] Jassie: depends how bunched they are
[2026/08/16 14:49] Jassie: sonja?
[2026/08/16 14:49] Sonja Bikergrrl: Yep?
[2026/08/16 14:50] Jassie: how far is that tower?
[2026/08/16 14:50] Sapphire: how many targets could i hit at once with ice storm?
[2026/08/16 14:50] Sonja Bikergrrl: 14:43] Sonja Bikergrrl: Several hundred feet. You're not at the base of the tower, by far.
[2026/08/16 14:51] Sonja Bikergrrl: Depends on what you are going to target
[2026/08/16 14:52] Sapphire: by "targets" i'm thinking the Commander, the Tube, and the Tower
[2026/08/16 14:52] Jassie: "well i can take out the tower probably, or at least try to if we get closer." says to Tallia
[2026/08/16 14:52] Sapphire: and that "the defensive line" will kinda tend to be a secondary target.
[2026/08/16 14:52] Sonja Bikergrrl: well, the commanders are in the tower, so you can get them, or, the ones with the tube
[2026/08/16 14:52] Sapphire: We need to get closer no matter what, it sounds like
[2026/08/16 14:52] Sonja Bikergrrl: You definitely need to get closer.
[2026/08/16 14:53] Sapphire: Let's get closer to so Tallia can take out the tower and Emily tries to ice storm the tube
[2026/08/16 14:53] Sonja Bikergrrl: How?
[2026/08/16 14:54] Jassie: "ok, then i'll hang back for now." lowers her hammer
[2026/08/16 14:54] Mecha: Talia raises an eyebrow. I can't take out the tower I mean if I can get past the guard line I could climb the tower.
[2026/08/16 14:55] Mecha: but we are all going to need to go in."
[2026/08/16 14:55] Jassie: question sonja, how big is the tower?
[2026/08/16 14:55] Sonja Bikergrrl: Big, for kobolds, as big as they could build over a few hours of work
[2026/08/16 14:55] Sonja Bikergrrl: Everyone roll D20
[2026/08/16 14:55] D20: Jassie rolls 16
[2026/08/16 14:55] D20: Mecha rolls 15
[2026/08/16 14:56] Sonja Bikergrrl: & Sapphire:
[2026/08/16 14:56] D20: Sapphire rolls 3
[2026/08/16 14:56] Sonja Bikergrrl: okay, Sapphire: plan for you?
[2026/08/16 14:57] Sapphire: Sneak forwards, having my skeletons mostly stay around to body guard for me when things go poorly, and get myself in casting range of the tube before it goes off
[2026/08/16 14:57] Sonja Bikergrrl: Why are you sneaking?
[2026/08/16 14:57] Jassie: well, if it isnt too big, i could just flame strike the tower
[2026/08/16 14:58] Sonja Bikergrrl: Sapphire?
[2026/08/16 14:59] Sapphire: um
[2026/08/16 14:59] Sapphire: do i not need to sneak?
[2026/08/16 14:59] Sonja Bikergrrl: you're a wizard, not a rogue
[2026/08/16 14:59] Sapphire: fair
[2026/08/16 14:59] Jassie: (LOL)
[2026/08/16 14:59] Sapphire: in that case, stride confidently and quickly into range, skeletons delaying any counter attacks long enough for me to deliver the spell
[2026/08/16 15:00] Jassie: (can still sorta sneak)
[2026/08/16 15:00] Mecha: sneak as best they can
[2026/08/16 15:00] Sonja Bikergrrl: why aren't you casting Invisibility, then Mirror Image, then marching right past the guards to Ice Storm your chosen target?
[2026/08/16 15:00] Sonja Bikergrrl: you're a wizard... that's a wizard solution
[2026/08/16 15:00] Sonja Bikergrrl: Mecha! You're next in intiative. What's the plan for you?
[2026/08/16 15:03] Sapphire: oh....i thought i was out on those
[2026/08/16 15:03] Sonja Bikergrrl: /me pokes Mecha with a... idk... D12, why not
[2026/08/16 15:03] Sapphire: that's a much better plan if i have the slots
[2026/08/16 15:03] Sonja Bikergrrl: you do
[2026/08/16 15:04] Sonja Bikergrrl: don't forget you have levitate as an option too
[2026/08/16 15:04] Sonja Bikergrrl: okay. While waiting for Mecha.... Jassie?
[2026/08/16 15:05] Mecha: Following Emily on this.
[2026/08/16 15:05] Sonja Bikergrrl: No, give an actual, actionable plan.
[2026/08/16 15:05] Sapphire: can you send me a list of what i still have up?
[2026/08/16 15:05] Jassie: i guess erm...maybe cast call woodland beings and ask them to cause a distraction for Emily, since we leaving her to attack the tower and kobolds.
[2026/08/16 15:05] Sonja Bikergrrl: (There's your NC, look at the bottom, "Memorized")
[2026/08/16 15:06] Mecha: Talia right now is reqdy to go in and kill shit and try to bring the tower down
[2026/08/16 15:06] Sonja Bikergrrl: That's an interesting plan.
[2026/08/16 15:06] Sonja Bikergrrl: okay... how are you bringing the tower down?
[2026/08/16 15:07] Sapphire: I heard Flame Strike mentioned
[2026/08/16 15:07] Mecha: Not sure yet, depends on how sturdy the tower is and how much power she can put behind her warhammer to the tower
[2026/08/16 15:07] Jassie: i'll begin by casting call woodland being to get them out
[2026/08/16 15:07] Jassie: flame strike isnt a large aoe mind you
[2026/08/16 15:07] Sonja Bikergrrl: okay...
[2026/08/16 15:07] Jassie: its a concentrated blast
[2026/08/16 15:07] Sonja Bikergrrl: it's a plan, of sorts
[2026/08/16 15:08] Jassie: but it will cause a fire
[2026/08/16 15:08] Sonja Bikergrrl: initive for kobolds
[2026/08/16 15:08] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 2
[2026/08/16 15:09] Sapphire: /me ponders
[2026/08/16 15:09] Sonja Bikergrrl: Kobolds go first. You're out of sight, they take no actions against you. Some signals are honking horns and banging drums, the kobolds with the big tube are getting ready to fire it. The guards glare about, sure you're about, somewhere.
[2026/08/16 15:09] Sonja Bikergrrl: Sapphire! You're next.
[2026/08/16 15:10] Sapphire: Mirror image on my skeleton followers i think
[2026/08/16 15:10] Sapphire: make them seem more dangerous than just the two
[2026/08/16 15:11] Sonja Bikergrrl: that would only affect one. It's a good idea, but, it's "caster only".
[2026/08/16 15:11] Sonja Bikergrrl: Also: you may need the protection yourself.
[2026/08/16 15:11] Mecha: *I need to hold off when this ones turn comes up. needs to snag dinner from oven
[2026/08/16 15:12] Sapphire: if i mirror, then invisibility, are the mirrors also invisible?
[2026/08/16 15:13] Jassie: well if u using the skeles to cause a distraction, i wont use woodland beings hehe
[2026/08/16 15:13] Sonja Bikergrrl: If you want it to, we'll go with that
[2026/08/16 15:14] Sapphire: save woodland beings for the moment, sure
[2026/08/16 15:14] Jassie: yup
[2026/08/16 15:14] Sapphire: mirror image and then invisibility... so that -all- the invisibilities drop when i cast ice storm?
[2026/08/16 15:14] Sonja Bikergrrl: That's how I'd read it.
[2026/08/16 15:15] Mecha: *back*
[2026/08/16 15:16] Sonja Bikergrrl: Sapphire: Roll 1d4 and add 3
[2026/08/16 15:17] D4: Sapphire rolls 2
[2026/08/16 15:17] Sapphire: 5
[2026/08/16 15:17] Sonja Bikergrrl: There's now 6 rotating images of Talia.
[2026/08/16 15:18] Sonja Bikergrrl: Mecha! Are you doing anything this round, or waiting for the next?
[2026/08/16 15:18] Mecha: Keep moving forward but trying to be as sneaky as possible.
[2026/08/16 15:19] Sonja Bikergrrl: Roll D20, must roll under 9
[2026/08/16 15:19] Sapphire: She poses a bit in a rotating delayed dance while casting her invisbility spell
[2026/08/16 15:20] D20: Mecha rolls 18
[2026/08/16 15:21] Mecha: *Sigh*
[2026/08/16 15:21] Jassie: (awww)
[2026/08/16 15:21] Sonja Bikergrrl: you trip over a root or something and faceplant in a patch of nettles. The curses that are MOST unladylike draw the immediate attention of the guards.
[2026/08/16 15:21] Sonja Bikergrrl: Jassie?
[2026/08/16 15:23] Mecha: *That's twice*
[2026/08/16 15:23] Jassie: well i'll move forward just as we discussed and once im within range, i'll begin to start casting flame strike on the tower, making sure to target the point where the commander is, but holding it for the cue from Emily
[2026/08/16 15:23] Sonja Bikergrrl: Mmhmm. Your chances of success at sneaking is about 45%.
[2026/08/16 15:23] Jassie: almost 50
[2026/08/16 15:24] Jassie: so i guess try?
[2026/08/16 15:24] Sonja Bikergrrl: okay... Jassie advances, towards the kobold defenders who start raising various weapons.
[2026/08/16 15:24] Sonja Bikergrrl: play to strengths... fighters aren't rogues.
[2026/08/16 15:24] Jassie: do i roll to sneak then?
[2026/08/16 15:24] Sonja Bikergrrl: end of round...
[2026/08/16 15:24] Sonja Bikergrrl: you can if you want
[2026/08/16 15:25] D20: Jassie rolls 4
[2026/08/16 15:25] Sonja Bikergrrl: but since the kobolds are pointing at you....
[2026/08/16 15:25] Jassie: oh
[2026/08/16 15:25] Jassie: wasted the nice roll
[2026/08/16 15:25] Sonja Bikergrrl: perfect sneak. Too bad it's literally right under the kobolds' noses
[2026/08/16 15:25] Jassie: which never happens for me
[2026/08/16 15:26] Jassie: oh well, prepare for me to fail everything else
[2026/08/16 15:26] Sonja Bikergrrl: kobolds go first! Four approach, yipping and yapping excitedly and waving the others to follow. One raises a tube and points at Mecha...
[2026/08/16 15:26] D4: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 1
[2026/08/16 15:26] D4: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 3
[2026/08/16 15:26] Sonja Bikergrrl: Mecha: save vs breath weapon
[2026/08/16 15:26] D20: Mecha rolls 5
[2026/08/16 15:27] Sonja Bikergrrl: singed for two points of damage. You'll live.
[2026/08/16 15:27] Mecha: -.- *Drums fingers on table*
[2026/08/16 15:27] Sonja Bikergrrl: Jassie! You likewise get a kobold tube pointing at you
[2026/08/16 15:27] D4: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 1
[2026/08/16 15:27] D4: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 1
[2026/08/16 15:27] Sonja Bikergrrl: ...
[2026/08/16 15:27] Sonja Bikergrrl: up to you if you can be arsed to save vs breath weapon
[2026/08/16 15:29] Sonja Bikergrrl: Jassie.
[2026/08/16 15:30] Jassie: yes?
[2026/08/16 15:30] Sonja Bikergrrl: ...roll d20, make saving throw?
[2026/08/16 15:30] D20: Mecha rolls 6
[2026/08/16 15:30] Mecha: sorry
[2026/08/16 15:30] Sonja Bikergrrl: /me slowly realizes Mecha actually failed the save earlier... eh.
[2026/08/16 15:31] D20: Jassie rolls 8
[2026/08/16 15:31] Sonja Bikergrrl: ...I was meaning JASSIE to roll...
[2026/08/16 15:31] Sonja Bikergrrl: Enjoy the point of damage.
[2026/08/16 15:31] Mecha: good, it means THAT fail doesn't count
[2026/08/16 15:32] Sonja Bikergrrl: The signallers start yapping loudly and pointing at you. The kobolds with the big tube swing it round to face the city gates and one presses a burning stick to the end.
[2026/08/16 15:32] Sonja Bikergrrl: The ones with tin cones shout one last time: "Give up, humens! You can't win!" They both then turn tail and run.
[2026/08/16 15:33] Sonja Bikergrrl: Sapphire!
[2026/08/16 15:33] Sonja Bikergrrl: Not sure invisibility is worth casting now, but, up to you.
[2026/08/16 15:33] Sapphire: Have they seen me already?
[2026/08/16 15:34] Sapphire: oh, the tube lit!
[2026/08/16 15:34] Sonja Bikergrrl: Yep.
[2026/08/16 15:34] Sapphire: rushing in to cast Ice Storm at that tube so the match gets put out
[2026/08/16 15:34] Sonja Bikergrrl: okay, that puts you right in front - unwise for a mage without protection
[2026/08/16 15:35] Sonja Bikergrrl: How are you casting Ice Storm? As a weather effect, or, as a magical storm of ice?
[2026/08/16 15:35] Sapphire: As a magical storm of ice unnaturally targeting the tube
[2026/08/16 15:35] Sapphire: "Skeletons, guard me!"
[2026/08/16 15:36] Sonja Bikergrrl: it won't target the tube, per se
[2026/08/16 15:36] Sonja Bikergrrl: but, roll 3D10
[2026/08/16 15:37] Sapphire: would i know a reason that "weather" mode was better?
[2026/08/16 15:37] D10: Sapphire rolls 9
[2026/08/16 15:37] D10: Sapphire rolls 2
[2026/08/16 15:37] D10: Sapphire rolls 2
[2026/08/16 15:38] Sonja Bikergrrl: i didn't say it was "better" or "worse", but there are two distinct effects; one will specifically put fires out, the other causes whacking great hailstones to slam down over the area.
[2026/08/16 15:38] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 20
[2026/08/16 15:38] Sonja Bikergrrl: Kobolds save vs spells!
[2026/08/16 15:38] Mecha: -.-
[2026/08/16 15:38] Sapphire: they got a natural 20 to it
[2026/08/16 15:39] Sonja Bikergrrl: ...actually, the spell doesn't allow saves
[2026/08/16 15:39] Sonja Bikergrrl: not that it'd matter
[2026/08/16 15:39] Sonja Bikergrrl: they all die screaming in agony as hailstones slam down on them, taking out the signallers who realized the danger just too late.
[2026/08/16 15:40] Sapphire: Emily cackles with the glee of wizardly hubris
[2026/08/16 15:40] Sonja Bikergrrl: Evil.
[2026/08/16 15:40] Sonja Bikergrrl: Mecha?
[2026/08/16 15:40] Mecha: Gonna get to her feet, still swearing as she charges the tube to try and stop it from firing.
[2026/08/16 15:41] Sonja Bikergrrl: The tube is some distance away, you'll need to run there, and that's one action.
[2026/08/16 15:41] Sonja Bikergrrl: Plus you got four kobolds in the way
[2026/08/16 15:41] Sonja Bikergrrl: And the tube is being pounded by fucking great hailstones.
[2026/08/16 15:41] Mecha: if possible try to run through the kobolds on the run
[2026/08/16 15:41] Sonja Bikergrrl: Are you sure you want to do that?
[2026/08/16 15:41] Mecha: and yes, going full tilt.
[2026/08/16 15:42] Sonja Bikergrrl: ...
[2026/08/16 15:42] Sonja Bikergrrl: okay...
[2026/08/16 15:42] Sonja Bikergrrl: DEX check to avoid kobolds
[2026/08/16 15:42] Mecha: Supposed to avoid them? Okay
[2026/08/16 15:42] D20: Mecha rolls 8
[2026/08/16 15:42] Sapphire: did you get the tower yet?
[2026/08/16 15:42] Sonja Bikergrrl: what else would you do?
[2026/08/16 15:42] Mecha: run the little fuckers over
[2026/08/16 15:43] Sonja Bikergrrl: okay... success....
[2026/08/16 15:43] Sonja Bikergrrl: you run straight into the ice storm and are battered by giant hailstones.
[2026/08/16 15:43] Sonja Bikergrrl: 13 damage.
[2026/08/16 15:43] Mecha: that's fine
[2026/08/16 15:44] Sonja Bikergrrl: and... that's your action, as advised.
[2026/08/16 15:44] Sonja Bikergrrl: Jassie!
[2026/08/16 15:45] Jassie: well, am i close to flame strike the tower specifically at the point where the commander is
[2026/08/16 15:46] Sonja Bikergrrl: flame strike: range 60 yds, ie., 180'
[2026/08/16 15:46] Sonja Bikergrrl: Yes.
[2026/08/16 15:46] Jassie: lets go for it then
[2026/08/16 15:46] Sonja Bikergrrl: Roll 6d8
[2026/08/16 15:46] Jassie: boom!
[2026/08/16 15:46] D8: Jassie rolls 5
[2026/08/16 15:46] D8: Jassie rolls 4
[2026/08/16 15:46] D8: Jassie rolls 6
[2026/08/16 15:46] D8: Jassie rolls 4
[2026/08/16 15:46] D8: Jassie rolls 2
[2026/08/16 15:46] D8: Jassie rolls 7
[2026/08/16 15:47] Sonja Bikergrrl: I count 28
[2026/08/16 15:47] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 7
[2026/08/16 15:47] Sonja Bikergrrl: Kobolds fail the save.
[2026/08/16 15:47] Jassie: /me raises my warhammer to the sky and brings it down
[2026/08/16 15:48] Sonja Bikergrrl: a roaring pillar of fire slams down onto the tower, transforming it at once into a tower of fire. Flaming logs are scattered far and wide as the tower is blasted out of existance; close examination will reveal two small figures engulfed in flames and writhing in agony as they fall into the flaming base of the tower.
[2026/08/16 15:49] Jassie: well that turned out better than i expected
[2026/08/16 15:50] Sonja Bikergrrl: The kobolds have nothing to guard and the kobold army wavers. Without direction and guidance and orders, the kobolds are no longer able to exploit their attacks. As they waver, the human defenders go on the attack, and the army quickly falls apart.
[2026/08/16 15:50] Sonja Bikergrrl: well, that just leaves the tube....
[2026/08/16 15:51] Jassie: (for once something i did worked)
[2026/08/16 15:51] Sapphire: Emily will move to inspect the tube once it's clear that the war is going alright
[2026/08/16 15:51] Sonja Bikergrrl: 1 = hits the ground, 20 = goes straight up, under ten, even, goes left, over ten even, goes right, under ten odd goes forward, over ten odd, targets Jassie/Sapphire
[2026/08/16 15:51] Mecha: Is the tube moveable?
[2026/08/16 15:51] Sonja Bikergrrl: Mecha: roll D20
[2026/08/16 15:51] Sonja Bikergrrl: Two kobolds can move it.
[2026/08/16 15:52] Mecha: Talia is stronger than two kobolds so she is going to turn it to aim it towards empty land
[2026/08/16 15:52] Sonja Bikergrrl: (Jassie has learnt to be mobile artillery!)
[2026/08/16 15:52] Sonja Bikergrrl: D20, Mecha
[2026/08/16 15:52] D20: Mecha rolls 3
[2026/08/16 15:53] Sonja Bikergrrl: under 10, odd...
[2026/08/16 15:53] Sonja Bikergrrl: The tube fires, a jet of fire and smoke hisses back towards Jassie and Sapphire, while the projectile -hurtles- forwards, trailing smoke and sparks!
[2026/08/16 15:54] Sonja Bikergrrl: Sapphire, Jassie, D20
[2026/08/16 15:54] Mecha: really hoped for that strength check to see if it can be moved but
[2026/08/16 15:54] D20: Jassie rolls 3
[2026/08/16 15:54] Sonja Bikergrrl: & Sapphire
[2026/08/16 15:55] D20: Sapphire rolls 20
[2026/08/16 15:55] Sonja Bikergrrl: oh my
[2026/08/16 15:55] Sapphire: .....again?
[2026/08/16 15:56] Sonja Bikergrrl: a thunderous explosion and 23 fleeing kobolds are hurled far and wide!
[2026/08/16 15:56] Sonja Bikergrrl: You appear to have successfully defeated the kobold army and lifted the siege of Milton. It's your first victory over Emberclaws' forces.
[2026/08/16 15:57] Jassie: for once lol
[2026/08/16 15:58] Sonja Bikergrrl: I am confident it's the first of many.
[2026/08/16 15:58] Sonja Bikergrrl: Probably the only person not happy is in fact Captain Smith
[2026/08/16 15:59] Sonja Bikergrrl: Captain Smith (gloomily): "Did you get that which you sought?"
[2026/08/16 15:59] Sapphire: was he one of the humans trapped in the tower?
[2026/08/16 15:59] Sonja Bikergrrl: He's the leader of the human defenders in Milton.
[2026/08/16 15:59] Mecha: Talia lets the others talk while searching and kicking bodies
[2026/08/16 15:59] Sapphire: "we sought the lifting of the seige," Emily will answer.
[2026/08/16 15:59] Sonja Bikergrrl: What's Talia searching for?
[2026/08/16 16:00] Sonja Bikergrrl: Captain Smith: "You may remember you went looking for something while we held back the main forces here?"
[2026/08/16 16:00] Mecha: anything she can pick from their bodies
[2026/08/16 16:00] Sonja Bikergrrl: sticks, stones, crude daggers, a selection of rats and collections of insects
[2026/08/16 16:03] Sonja Bikergrrl: Talia: anything you want to besides kick dead or dying kobolds?
[2026/08/16 16:04] Sapphire: She nods. "A reasonably successful venture. I do not think Embermaws forces will find success in that marsh.'
[2026/08/16 16:04] Mecha: Talia is taking a moment to breath or she is going to rage out and slam dead body on dead body
[2026/08/16 16:05] Sonja Bikergrrl: Captain Smith: "Thank the Gods. Maybe the little blighters will leave us alone now... thank you for your aid." (He looks back at the shattered walls.) “We’ll bury a lot of good folk tonight.”
[2026/08/16 16:06] Sonja Bikergrrl: /me reads ahead, smirks
[2026/08/16 16:07] Sonja Bikergrrl: And that's the end of the Siege of Milton
[2026/08/16 16:07] Mecha: Talia walks up."That's it. I fucking hate Kobolds."
[2026/08/16 16:07] Sonja Bikergrrl: they're not making friends, are they
[2026/08/16 16:07] Sonja Bikergrrl: Any last actions/things to do before we stop?
[2026/08/16 16:08] Sapphire: Emily will study the rebuilding of the walls for a time, pondering the rumors she knows of the Wall of Stone spell and watching the mundane form for insights.
[2026/08/16 16:08] Sonja Bikergrrl: That's an interesting idea. Are you planning on researching said Wall of Stone spell?
[2026/08/16 16:09] Mecha: Talia is going to get her hammer out and try to destroy the tube.
[2026/08/16 16:09] Sonja Bikergrrl: It's but a useless and now battered tube.
[2026/08/16 16:10] Mecha: good
[2026/08/16 16:10] Sonja Bikergrrl: And that's where we finish for the night, I got work to get to tomorrow so... good game?
[2026/08/16 16:11] Sapphire: I would like to work on researching that spell, yes
[2026/08/16 16:11] Sapphire: good game
[2026/08/16 16:11] Sapphire: /me shares hugs
[2026/08/16 16:11] Sapphire: hopefully she can get a bit of town time to process everything and figure new stuff out
[2026/08/16 16:11] Sonja Bikergrrl: /me will see what can be rolled next week
[2026/08/16 16:12] Sonja Bikergrrl: You do need a break to recover and determine your next mission.
[2026/08/16 16:12] Sonja Bikergrrl: You may have other concerns, Talia
[2026/08/16 16:12] Mecha: /me nods
[2026/08/16 16:12] Sonja Bikergrrl: but for now, I'll love you and leave you
