Session Three - The Necromancer
[2023/09/22 16:25] Sonja Bikergrrl: /me cracks knuckles and eyes the notecards she dug up.
[2023/09/22 16:25] ɗίηα ωíƖɗę ღ (dinadrone): /me looks over everything they had been examining and relaxes a bit
[2023/09/22 16:26] Sonja Bikergrrl: Greeeeeeeeeeeeetings, adventurers, some players get treasure that does epic things, you got... a sphere of red fluid and a bee in a jar.
[2023/09/22 16:26] Sonja Bikergrrl: I believe you were examining things... last was a mushroom in a pouch
[2023/09/22 16:27] Alicia Frakture: Yep, and Leesha pulls the mushroom from the pouch
[2023/09/22 16:27] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: "Truffle? Something else?" She inspects
[2023/09/22 16:27] Alicia Frakture: that's right Leesha did grab the bag of truffles on the way out
[2023/09/22 16:27] Sonja Bikergrrl: It's a somewhat squishy mushroom, and it's definitely a mushroom... fairly nondescript, greyish, slightly slimey
[2023/09/22 16:28] Sonja Bikergrrl: You also, admittedly, got a truffle
[2023/09/22 16:29] Alicia Frakture: *Secondary skill cooking, would Leesha know if this Mushroom was safe for eating or not?
[2023/09/22 16:29] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: Two -different- shrooms?
[2023/09/22 16:29] Sonja Bikergrrl: d20
[2023/09/22 16:29] Sonja Bikergrrl: roll under 11
[2023/09/22 16:29] Sonja Bikergrrl: well, you got a 19...
[2023/09/22 16:30] Sonja Bikergrrl: if this isn't a facepalm moment I don't know what is.
[2023/09/22 16:30] Alicia Frakture: /me sighs
[2023/09/22 16:30] Sonja Bikergrrl: You try to remember if the mushroom is safe, but, given so many types of mushroom exist... you've no idea for sure
[2023/09/22 16:32] Alicia Frakture: "Maybe Granny would know, unless one of you two do?
[2023/09/22 16:32] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: "It's some sort of surfacer fungus," she answers, pondering.
[2023/09/22 16:33] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: "Don't know if she wanted it for food or potions."
[2023/09/22 16:33] ɗίηα ωíƖɗę ღ (dinadrone): "I am not familiar with the types of mushrooms, I do hope it is not dangerous"
[2023/09/22 16:33] Sonja Bikergrrl: Maybe its' use/purpose will come clear later.
[2023/09/22 16:34] Alicia Frakture: Leesha keeps it in the bag, and hands it over."If it is potion related, not my area of knowledge
[2023/09/22 16:34] Sonja Bikergrrl: Only way to find out what it does is try it... if you are desperate, I guess
[2023/09/22 16:34] Alicia Frakture: /me looks around."Did you hear that? I think Megan is haunting us saying its purpose will become clear
[2023/09/22 16:35] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: "Haunting -us-?" She frowns. "I hope the necromancer didn't get to her body."
[2023/09/22 16:36] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: She drums her fingers. "So this bee in a jar. What the heck is it about? I don't speak bee."
[2023/09/22 16:36] Sonja Bikergrrl: Maybe it's buzzessed.
[2023/09/22 16:37] Alicia Frakture: *Groans*
[2023/09/22 16:38] Alicia Frakture: Leesha stands up. Well this all seems to be magic stuff so i will leave it to you. I'm gonna see if Granny knows where I can sell this truffle, plus I gotta ask her something
[2023/09/22 16:39] Sonja Bikergrrl: oh vey... not splitting the party again...
[2023/09/22 16:39] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: "Sure." She frowns. "Maybe we just let it out and not stress about it?"
[2023/09/22 16:39] Alicia Frakture: *It's not splitting the party they are safe here... I think.*
[2023/09/22 16:40] Sonja Bikergrrl: okay, whatcha doin'?
[2023/09/22 16:40] Alicia Frakture: Leesha is going to talk to granny, this moment can be on them
[2023/09/22 16:42] Alicia Frakture: er I mean On Debben and Dahlia*
[2023/09/22 16:42] Sonja Bikergrrl: ok?
[2023/09/22 16:43] ɗίηα ωíƖɗę ღ (dinadrone): /me nodded
[2023/09/22 16:43] Sonja Bikergrrl: /me -finally- found something - a note amongst the papers/scrolls you raided; it'll be on the webpage tomorrow under the "Lore" section
[2023/09/22 16:44] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: Debben will go ahead and uncork the jar with the bee in it.
[2023/09/22 16:45] Sonja Bikergrrl: The bee flutters about, and bangs into the glass wall of the jar.
[2023/09/22 16:45] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: "Huh." She eyes it, wondering if it's just air starved or if it's some sort of non-bee that got cursed.
[2023/09/22 16:46] Sonja Bikergrrl: The bee flies out of the jar, and buzzes about in circles for a bit
[2023/09/22 16:47] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: "Good luck little bee. Hope you're glad to be out of that tower."
[2023/09/22 16:47] Sonja Bikergrrl: The bee finally flies out of a window.
[2023/09/22 16:48] ɗίηα ωíƖɗę ღ (dinadrone): "that bee is probably very happy to be finally free"
[2023/09/22 16:48] Alicia Frakture: *The bee was actually the necromancer, we're all doomed*
[2023/09/22 16:49] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: ( I considered it, but figured on balance freeing it has more good situations than hurting it did )
[2023/09/22 16:49] Sonja Bikergrrl: Ironically, you could both bee, I mean, be... right
[2023/09/22 16:50] Sonja Bikergrrl: Leesha, you're talking to Granny? (Or do you want that in IM?)
[2023/09/22 16:51] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: Debben double checks what loot they need to inspect, looping back to the books if they've checked everything already.
[2023/09/22 16:51] Sonja Bikergrrl: Other than the scroll mentioned... I think that's it
[2023/09/22 16:51] Alicia Frakture: *We can do it in IM, or Granny might be out so Leesha can come back*
*** Sonja Bikergrrl: To Alicia (Leesha)*** Special Notes to/from the DM:
*** Sonja Bikergrrl: you were talking to Granny?
*** Alicia Frakture: Yeah, if she is around.
*** Alicia Frakture: First things first is if she can tell me what the truffle is worth
*** Sonja Bikergrrl: Gumph looks over the truffle. "Hmmm. Make good stew. Or, could be worth 25gp."
*** Alicia Frakture: Leesha ponders it." Yeah if I can use the Gold to help the group..."
*** Alicia Frakture: Leesha sighs and looks at Granny."Also, got a problem. I flipped out and raged, essentially letting the orc side take over. How do I fix that?"
*** Sonja Bikergrrl: Gumph ponders this one, then hugs you. "Aaww. It not so bad. You get job done, no?"
*** Alicia Frakture: /me nods, "but if I had been in more control, maybe Megan would still be here."
*** Sonja Bikergrrl: Gumph sits down and looks at you. "Maybe. Maybe not, who know? Maybe it time, and no sorrow for those lost in battle. Maybe there way to bring back, who know?"
*** Alicia Frakture: /me narrows her eyes." Maybe there is but I need to at least get balance between my two sides so i can help my friends."
*** Sonja Bikergrrl: "Maybe. Best think on this, do nothing rash. Time will tell."
*** Alicia Frakture: Leesha nods before handing over the truffle. "Use it in stew, see if anyone here needs extra food."
*** Sonja Bikergrrl: Gumph nods and puts the truffle away. "Leeshy, you no need worry so much. Think too much, is bad. You good girl."
*** Alicia Frakture: Leesha smiles and moves to hug Granny."thank you Granny."
[2023/09/22 16:52] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: She'll start reading through the scroll to note down it's contents
[2023/09/22 16:54] Sonja Bikergrrl: /me sends NC to you - it'll be on the site as well later
[2023/09/22 16:58] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: She frowns as she reads through it, leaning back. "Beings from the plane of negative energy.... I wonder... is that part of how necromancers add the animating force to their undead? or is this a diferent sort of demon they might work with?"
[2023/09/22 17:04] ɗίηα ωíƖɗę ღ (dinadrone): listens ansd thinks on the teachings of selune , "negative planar energies are definently involved with undead. Demons are from a wholly different outer plane."
[2023/09/22 17:05] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: "It says here they are both hungry for matter and energy, but are so weak that it hurts them as well."
[2023/09/22 17:08] ɗίηα ωíƖɗę ღ (dinadrone): "That may be why most of their minor forms are so easily defeated in comparison with living beings which are usually far more dangerous opponents"
[2023/09/22 17:10] Sonja Bikergrrl: (Other notes may or may not come... with varying levels of accuracy - on other topics, too)
[2023/09/22 17:11] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: "So, when we go back to clear the basement, bring matter and energy. Perhaps fire?"
[2023/09/22 17:11] Sonja Bikergrrl: /me facepalms and sighs
[2023/09/22 17:12] Alicia Frakture: Leesha returns to the group and sits down."Find anything fun?"
[2023/09/22 17:13] ɗίηα ωíƖɗę ღ (dinadrone): "well bringing ourselves is a pretty strong source of matter and energy already", she smiled then
[2023/09/22 17:14] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: She looks up to Leesha. "Some light reading about the negative energy plane," she commets.
[2023/09/22 17:14] Sonja Bikergrrl: On the subject of light, it's getting very dark outside.
[2023/09/22 17:15] Alicia Frakture: How about we get some rest. We can figure out our next steps
[2023/09/22 17:16] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: "Yeah. We need to get our strength back."
[2023/09/22 17:18] Alicia Frakture: We can rest here. Do we want to head back to the tower or what?
[2023/09/22 17:19] Alicia Frakture: I mean after rest
[2023/09/22 17:20] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: "I've been thinking about how we deal with the monster in the basement. And whatever secret passage Cass used to get out of there ."
[2023/09/22 17:20] Sonja Bikergrrl: I assume you'll rest there
[2023/09/22 17:20] ɗίηα ωíƖɗę ღ (dinadrone): heading back to the tower sounds like a good idea after resting
[2023/09/22 17:21] Alicia Frakture: Yes resting here is good.*
[2023/09/22 17:21] Sonja Bikergrrl: Where are you all bedding down for the night?
[2023/09/22 17:21] Alicia Frakture: Wherever Granny has space for us.
[2023/09/22 17:23] Sonja Bikergrrl: okay... the night passes... -almost- uneventfully. You're sure you hear various things outside, just, nothing definite. It's like something is keeping a distant watch.
[2023/09/22 17:24] Alicia Frakture: Before she sleeps Leesha jokes."Maybe we can just find a way to make the tower collapse, would solve a lot of problems
[2023/09/22 17:25] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: "Destroys anything left in there though. which problems does it actually solve?"
[2023/09/22 17:25] Alicia Frakture: the zombie and if we're lucky whatever is in the basement
[2023/09/22 17:27] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: "I think we can take that thing if we're fresh for it and play it smart. Keep it from moving, spook it with a torch and be ready to adapt."
[2023/09/22 17:27] ɗίηα ωíƖɗę ღ (dinadrone): "or could just turn it again if it becomes a problem"
[2023/09/22 17:28] Sonja Bikergrrl: Not sure how you'd spook a zombie...
[2023/09/22 17:28] Alicia Frakture: That works too, for now.. we sleep.
[2023/09/22 17:28] Sonja Bikergrrl: so, now it's bright and early in the AM?
[2023/09/22 17:29] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: Breakfast, restocking the cooking oil that debben carries, making sure we have torches and fast ways to relight them.
[2023/09/22 17:30] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: (( lap top battery low, if I poof that's why )0
[2023/09/22 17:30] Sonja Bikergrrl: flint & steel is about the fastest you'll get
[2023/09/22 17:30] Alicia Frakture: Leesha goes to help with breakfast before getting ready to go.
[2023/09/22 17:31] Sonja Bikergrrl: Breakfast is some rather nice potatoes. You're not sure if they were fried or boiled.
[2023/09/22 17:32] Sonja Bikergrrl: someone gets to roll a d20 - check INT or WIS (need to roll lower)
[2023/09/22 17:32] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: So when we get in, have a torch pre-lit... who has a free hand? Dahlia? You ok keeping a torch in your off hand?
[2023/09/22 17:33] ɗίηα ωíƖɗę ღ (dinadrone): i don't mind at all carrying a torch , it will make it much easier to see in any dark areas of that strange tower.
[2023/09/22 17:33] Sonja Bikergrrl: Mecha: you can't help noticing that you're being "shadowed"
[2023/09/22 17:34] Alicia Frakture: Leesha looks around for this shadow while trying to not be obvious
[2023/09/22 17:34] Sonja Bikergrrl: They're a little too clumsy to completely conceal themselves, but not so clumsy you know who/where
[2023/09/22 17:35] Alicia Frakture: Leesha sighs."All right, show yourself."
[2023/09/22 17:36] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: "Hmmm?"
[2023/09/22 17:36] Sonja Bikergrrl: ...silence...#
[2023/09/22 17:36] Alicia Frakture: Since they are not completely concealed she just points where they are
[2023/09/22 17:37] Sonja Bikergrrl: There's a squawk and then sounds of hurried fleeing through the bushes.
[2023/09/22 17:37] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: "...What the?" Debben turns to look. "Who the tremor is that?"
[2023/09/22 17:38] Alicia Frakture: No idea."You don't have to run away. As long as you're not wanting to fight us."
[2023/09/22 17:38] Sonja Bikergrrl: ...more silence...
[2023/09/22 17:39] ɗίηα ωíƖɗę ღ (dinadrone): "that was very strange, I wonder who or what it was, lurking away in the bushes"
[2023/09/22 17:39] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: "Do we still go through our plan or pause and deal with this?"
[2023/09/22 17:40] Alicia Frakture: The plan, if they are not going to attack we will be okay.
[2023/09/22 17:42] Sonja Bikergrrl: Moving on?
[2023/09/22 17:43] Alicia Frakture: *Nods*
[2023/09/22 17:43] Sonja Bikergrrl: d20 again
[2023/09/22 17:44] Alicia Frakture: *Someone else want to roll?*
[2023/09/22 17:44] Sonja Bikergrrl: okay... anyone else?
[2023/09/22 17:45] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: "Alright. We'll watch our backs on the way."
[2023/09/22 17:45] Sonja Bikergrrl: pretty sure a 4 makes the check... you're not completely sure, but, you think they're still watching, but from further afield
[2023/09/22 17:45] Sonja Bikergrrl: After an hours' wary hiking, something happens
[2023/09/22 17:46] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: A something!
[2023/09/22 17:46] Alicia Frakture: What kind of something?
[2023/09/22 17:46] Sonja Bikergrrl: A rather large young man, who has the general dimensions of an ox, bursts out of the bushes lining the road, holding an old cleaver. He looks at you and starts to laugh wildly.
[2023/09/22 17:47] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: Debben gets her spear ready and moves to stand behind Leesha. "Who's this jokester?"
[2023/09/22 17:48] Sonja Bikergrrl: The jokester looks at Debben and just laughs. MWAH HAH HA!!!
[2023/09/22 17:48] Alicia Frakture: Leesha draws her wrench."No idea, but he is a big one."
[2023/09/22 17:48] Sonja Bikergrrl: And that's an awesome cliffhanger!
[2023/09/22 17:49] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: :O
[2023/09/22 17:49] Sonja Bikergrrl: indeed!
[2023/09/22 17:49] Sonja Bikergrrl: it rather late... I better turn in
[2023/09/22 17:50] Alicia Frakture: /me moves in and huggles Mistress."Sleep well."
[2023/09/22 17:50] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: /me should as well, increasingly thin on battery at the moment.
