Session Six: The Return of the Old Ones...?
[2024/07/18 14:14] Sonja Bikergrrl: TPs for all paws
[2024/07/18 14:14] Alicia Frakture: paws
[2024/07/18 14:14] Sonja Bikergrrl: you get a TP!
[2024/07/18 14:14] ɗίηα ωíƖɗę ღ (kitten.venus): paws
[2024/07/18 14:15] Sonja Bikergrrl: and you get a TP!
[2024/07/18 14:15] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: paws
[2024/07/18 14:15] Sonja Bikergrrl: and you get a TP!
[2024/07/18 14:16] Sonja Bikergrrl: okay, who's here, who wants to do what
[2024/07/18 14:16] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: so superheros fell through?
[2024/07/18 14:16] Sonja Bikergrrl: due to low turn out and Boss being tired... tonights' Event is cancelled
[2024/07/18 14:16] Sonja Bikergrrl: so... tell me what you fancy
[2024/07/18 14:16] Sonja Bikergrrl: Other than me, of course :)
[2024/07/18 14:17] Alicia Frakture: /me purrs
[2024/07/18 14:18] Sonja Bikergrrl: I did look at a potentially random random die
[2024/07/18 14:18] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: Hmmmm, looks like you already hoped down to the dice table :p
[2024/07/18 14:18] Sonja Bikergrrl: but when I ran a test? the standard die was already very random.
[2024/07/18 14:18] Sonja Bikergrrl: We did, seemed a good a place as any
[2024/07/18 14:19] Alicia Frakture: Agreed, also HI Dina!!
[2024/07/18 14:19] ɗίηα ωíƖɗę ღ (kitten.venus): Hi :)
[2024/07/18 14:20] Sonja Bikergrrl: not sure why, but, we seem to congregate here.... muscle memory and that
[2024/07/18 14:21] Sonja Bikergrrl: okay... so.. we going to take advantage and roll dice? They ain't gonna roll themselves
[2024/07/18 14:21] Alicia Frakture: Sounds like fun :)
[2024/07/18 14:21] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: just need a shake table like they use for earthquake testing
[2024/07/18 14:22] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: do undead skeletons grant xp on defeat?
[2024/07/18 14:22] Sonja Bikergrrl: UNdead ones?
[2024/07/18 14:22] Sonja Bikergrrl: Yes.
[2024/07/18 14:22] Sonja Bikergrrl: dead ones? Not so much.
[2024/07/18 14:24] Sonja Bikergrrl: music is now ON... so... we die-ing?
[2024/07/18 14:24] Alicia Frakture: Not yet, but with a tough enough monster or a bad roll it is possible.
[2024/07/18 14:24] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: /me shuffles
[2024/07/18 14:24] Sonja Bikergrrl: part 31... the party completed the tomb
[2024/07/18 14:25] Sonja Bikergrrl: picked up treasure
[2024/07/18 14:25] Sonja Bikergrrl: two tomes, a scroll....
[2024/07/18 14:25] Sonja Bikergrrl: A leather-bound volume titled: Cthäat Aquadingen
[2024/07/18 14:26] Sonja Bikergrrl: a wooden case, a leather pouch, a rather large sack and a small purse.
[2024/07/18 14:26] Sonja Bikergrrl: The archeologist found the manuscript he was looking for, so, that's OK I guess
[2024/07/18 14:26] Sonja Bikergrrl: Only Katana is injured
[2024/07/18 14:27] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: moment
[2024/07/18 14:27] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: part thirty-one ?
[2024/07/18 14:27] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: dang
[2024/07/18 14:27] Sonja Bikergrrl: and with that recap out of the way... GGGGGGGGGRRRREEEEEEEETTTINGS Adventurers, other players get to play with awesome backing music, you get a loop of elevator muzak
[2024/07/18 14:27] Sonja Bikergrrl: Who's doing what?
[2024/07/18 14:28] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: Debben is making sure her looted magical texts are stored securely and safely
[2024/07/18 14:28] Alicia Frakture: Assume The party is leaving. So Leesha is moving to help keep Katana standing upright as we go.
[2024/07/18 14:28] Sonja Bikergrrl: You're taking the books, Debben?
[2024/07/18 14:29] Sonja Bikergrrl: Katana can stand, she's not invalided :)
[2024/07/18 14:29] Sonja Bikergrrl: Books (3) added to Debbens' sheet... the rest?
[2024/07/18 14:30] Alicia Frakture: true but if she is as injusred as you said, she might need assistance, so Leesha will carry what Debbin cant and still be there to help Katana if needed.
[2024/07/18 14:30] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: I'm gonna presume Leesha and co are interested in collecting the remainder
[2024/07/18 14:30] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: also my strength is not great
[2024/07/18 14:30] Sonja Bikergrrl: is the scroll counted as "books"?
[2024/07/18 14:30] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: She can try to help out with Katana's other side
[2024/07/18 14:30] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: scroll counts, ye
[2024/07/18 14:31] Sonja Bikergrrl: Scroll added to Debben
[2024/07/18 14:31] Sonja Bikergrrl: Wooden box with a metal rod in it?
[2024/07/18 14:32] Alicia Frakture: Leesha looks at the Archaeologist."Bit of advice."Once we leave since you found what you wanted.. Bury this pace. Make it look as inconspicuous as possible.
[2024/07/18 14:33] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: box can add to the loot stack, sure
[2024/07/18 14:33] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: I suppose we only need to carry it out to the wagon, can tolerate some overloading
[2024/07/18 14:33] Sonja Bikergrrl: ie., who's taking that, or is it being left?
[2024/07/18 14:34] Alicia Frakture: If Leesha can carry it she's got it
[2024/07/18 14:34] Sonja Bikergrrl: yep
[2024/07/18 14:34] Sonja Bikergrrl: black silk bag with a purple drawstring?
[2024/07/18 14:35] Alicia Frakture: What's in the box btw?
[2024/07/18 14:35] Sonja Bikergrrl: (Some of these things will have obvious uses straight away... others, you will need to identify first)
[2024/07/18 14:35] Alicia Frakture: If there is room for stuff in the box Leesha will add what she can and then carry it in said box.
[2024/07/18 14:36] Sonja Bikergrrl: wooden box: contains: 3' long, made of ivory with a gleaming blue gem at the tip and a band of gold
[2024/07/18 14:36] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: shall we presume that we take all the cool looking stuff and weight balance most of it to Leesha's backpack?
[2024/07/18 14:36] Sonja Bikergrrl: that works
[2024/07/18 14:36] Sonja Bikergrrl: silk bag, gemstone, and sack of coin to Leesha
[2024/07/18 14:37] Alicia Frakture: oh sure. just make the half orc pack mule carry it... *Chuckle.* Just kidding. Let's get out of here."
[2024/07/18 14:37] Sonja Bikergrrl: Right, time to get out of the tomb, lest you become one with it
[2024/07/18 14:38] Sonja Bikergrrl: Back in the daylight, everyone feels a bit easier. The tiger is hunkered down in the grass some distance away, Joan is at the cart, waiting
[2024/07/18 14:40] Sonja Bikergrrl: Katana: heals self. Barely injured now.
[2024/07/18 14:40] Sonja Bikergrrl: Debben, Leesha, Dahlia?
[2024/07/18 14:40] ɗίηα ωíƖɗę ღ (kitten.venus): flys along to pet the tiger
[2024/07/18 14:40] Alicia Frakture: Gonna unload stuff into the cart.
[2024/07/18 14:40] Sonja Bikergrrl: The tiger lifts up his head and takes a snap in Dahlias' direction, rumbling quietly
[2024/07/18 14:41] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: Unloading to cart, and then inspecting the tunnel looking for the best place to collapse it.
[2024/07/18 14:41] Sonja Bikergrrl: The sack that you're carrying? Looks like it contains about 500 gold coins.
[2024/07/18 14:41] ɗίηα ωíƖɗę ღ (kitten.venus): floats out of the weay of the playful bite and smiles
[2024/07/18 14:41] Sonja Bikergrrl: The archeologist will probably take care of that
[2024/07/18 14:43] Sonja Bikergrrl: Moving on? Still a few hours of daylight left
[2024/07/18 14:44] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: Only a few?
[2024/07/18 14:44] Alicia Frakture: Yeah, gonna grab some meat and toss it to the tiger."Thanks for stickin close." She says smiling
[2024/07/18 14:44] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: ....might be better for us to camp close enough to detect something trying to escape
[2024/07/18 14:44] Sonja Bikergrrl: I'm going to have to start tracking your meat supplies...
[2024/07/18 14:44] Sonja Bikergrrl: ...why?
[2024/07/18 14:45] Sonja Bikergrrl: The tiger watches the meat land nearby, then he slinks up and bites into it, drags it back and at a safe distance, starts tearing it apart and bolting the pieces down
[2024/07/18 14:45] Alicia Frakture: Leesha is taking from what she counts as her share. it would be unfair to put that on the others.
[2024/07/18 14:46] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: toooo respond if something does?
[2024/07/18 14:46] Sonja Bikergrrl: A 5 way split is 100gp each
[2024/07/18 14:46] Sonja Bikergrrl: okay... so... camping instead now?
[2024/07/18 14:48] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: any objections to that from the rest of the group?
[2024/07/18 14:48] Alicia Frakture: We can do that. Yeah, let's call it a night.I can make food, and with the wolf meat the tiger brought us.
[2024/07/18 14:48] Sonja Bikergrrl: /me sighs, recounts... y'wallies... there's FOUR of you... 125gp each
[2024/07/18 14:48] Sonja Bikergrrl: Tigers don't need gold
[2024/07/18 14:49] Sonja Bikergrrl: Okay... you set up camp. Who's taking what guard?
[2024/07/18 14:49] Alicia Frakture: I'll take first and begin making dinner.
[2024/07/18 14:49] Sonja Bikergrrl: Is anyone going to try identifying anything?
[2024/07/18 14:50] Sonja Bikergrrl: Mecha can cook, so... that's good.
[2024/07/18 14:51] Sonja Bikergrrl: Katana settles to rest and meditate, still looking somewhat shaken, then remembers and goes to Leesha as she does the alchemy of cooking.
[2024/07/18 14:51] Alicia Frakture: That's a book, that is a scroll. That is a... A dinglehopper?
[2024/07/18 14:53] Sonja Bikergrrl: Katana to Leesha: Leesha, you may remember I had a favour to ask of you?
[2024/07/18 14:53] Alicia Frakture: Leesha motions Katana to join her as she cooks."You did say that, what's up?"
[2024/07/18 14:53] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: I might as well work down the set and see what I can ident
[2024/07/18 14:54] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: (note to self, get hold of a proper Identify spell ASAP )
[2024/07/18 14:54] Sonja Bikergrrl: You're going to skim over the books, Debben?
[2024/07/18 14:54] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: yeah, those first, the magic rod after the scroll
[2024/07/18 14:54] Sonja Bikergrrl: Katana to Leesha: I fear we may be heading into some danger. *pause* More danger than usual, I mean.
[2024/07/18 14:55] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: ( d% or d20s from debben? )
[2024/07/18 14:56] Alicia Frakture: Leesha nods."oh yeah. It has been ramping up more and more. What do you think we're heading towards?"
[2024/07/18 14:57] Sonja Bikergrrl: Debben: Book #1 - appears to be some work that advises certain excercises that will benefit any character. You'll need to study the book to do this. ANY character can benefit from this book, but the book is "1 use only".
[2024/07/18 14:58] Sonja Bikergrrl: Katana to Leesha: I... don't know.... (d20 if you want!) ...however I do have an unfinished quest to find the Murderhobo responsible for much evil, and stopping them. Should I fall... may I ask that you take up my quest and complete it?
[2024/07/18 14:59] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: ( 1 use only per person or one use only ever? )
[2024/07/18 14:59] Sonja Bikergrrl: 1 use ever. Use it, lose it.
[2024/07/18 15:00] Sonja Bikergrrl: nat20... Mecha suspects absolutely nothing, at all.
[2024/07/18 15:00] Alicia Frakture: Leesha nods."You got it. Not gonna make it easy for ya to fall down though."
[2024/07/18 15:00] Sonja Bikergrrl: The second book is rather more interesting. It appears to be a similiar book, except, more geared towards thieves and the thieving arts.
[2024/07/18 15:01] Sonja Bikergrrl: Katana to Leesha: "I do not plan falling. Thank you, you are a worthy comrade in arms."
[2024/07/18 15:02] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: Hmmmm....two books, four people.... does using them require literacy?
[2024/07/18 15:02] Sonja Bikergrrl: well... it would help!
[2024/07/18 15:02] Alicia Frakture: /me smiles and leans lightly on Katana for a second."However my memory is sometimes fuzzy. Write down all the info ya have on them so if something does happen i don't wander blindly trying to find them."
[2024/07/18 15:03] Sonja Bikergrrl: (DMG is no help in this. I'll suggest -magic- books, like these, do no need literacy. Nonmagic books, do)
[2024/07/18 15:04] Sonja Bikergrrl: Katana: "'Tis quite simple. Find the Murderhobo and stop them. There's only two it can be."
[2024/07/18 15:05] Sonja Bikergrrl: Third book: this is nonmagical, a quick skim suggests it's a list of cults and conspiracy theories. You'll need to study it to learn more than that.
[2024/07/18 15:05] Sonja Bikergrrl: And the scroll? Mage spell, Ropetrick.
[2024/07/18 15:05] ɗίηα ωíƖɗę ღ (kitten.venus): peeks as all the items are being played with
[2024/07/18 15:06] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: ropetrick is actually a good one
[2024/07/18 15:06] Sonja Bikergrrl: Specific to your character too, I think
[2024/07/18 15:07] Alicia Frakture: You got it Katana, I'll get them good for ya.
[2024/07/18 15:08] Sonja Bikergrrl: Katana settles to rest, and, incidently, keep an eye on the sky to the north and east.
[2024/07/18 15:09] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: how long does attempting to learn a spell scroll take?
[2024/07/18 15:09] Sonja Bikergrrl: read it, roll check, it's added
[2024/07/18 15:09] Sonja Bikergrrl: not going to go more complex than that
[2024/07/18 15:10] Alicia Frakture: Leesha makes a stew using the wolf meat so it doesn't dip into current supplies and brings a bowl to the tiger, fanning some of the steam."It is hot please be careful. I tried to let it cool a bit."
[2024/07/18 15:10] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: Will go ahead and try to study the rope trick spell
[2024/07/18 15:10] Sonja Bikergrrl: Tiger growls and backs away
[2024/07/18 15:11] Alicia Frakture: She sets it down out of reach of the tiger."Take your time with it." before she walks back, making sure the others have food as well
[2024/07/18 15:11] Sonja Bikergrrl: d%, must roll under 60
[2024/07/18 15:12] Sonja Bikergrrl: Dahlia?
[2024/07/18 15:12] ɗίηα ωíƖɗę ღ (kitten.venus): yes?
[2024/07/18 15:13] Sonja Bikergrrl: whatcha doin? :)
[2024/07/18 15:13] ɗίηα ωíƖɗę ღ (kitten.venus): is watching and trying to keep up with all interactions
[2024/07/18 15:13] Sonja Bikergrrl: The sun is slowly sinking.
[2024/07/18 15:14] ɗίηα ωíƖɗę ღ (kitten.venus): looks for a safe spot to meditate and then rest
[2024/07/18 15:14] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: Oh yeah, we need to actually *make camp*
[2024/07/18 15:14] Sonja Bikergrrl: Debben copies the spell (2nd level spell)
[2024/07/18 15:14] ɗίηα ωíƖɗę ღ (kitten.venus): probably resting on the wagon
[2024/07/18 15:15] Sonja Bikergrrl: the scroll is of course consumed
[2024/07/18 15:15] Alicia Frakture: Leesha is going to meditate as well keeping close to the fire so she can be on watch when the others lay down for the night.
[2024/07/18 15:15] Sonja Bikergrrl: I'm assuming you'll make camp....
[2024/07/18 15:16] Sonja Bikergrrl: Meditations tonight are strange. Katana is concerned with her current injury, that was "traumatic", as far as a construct can be traumatized.
[2024/07/18 15:16] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: one of these days, we shall crack the DRM that causes spell scrolls to self-destruct after use
[2024/07/18 15:17] Sonja Bikergrrl: Dahlia gets some foggy and vague concerns. Its' unclear what that is about, that's a new one for her.
[2024/07/18 15:17] Sonja Bikergrrl: Leesha gets the feeling that something important is coming up.
[2024/07/18 15:18] Sonja Bikergrrl: Evening, and darkness falls. Are the books going to be put to use, or stored?
[2024/07/18 15:18] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: Stored, for now
[2024/07/18 15:19] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: Since we end up needing to have a whole talk about it and half the team is trauma-processing right now
[2024/07/18 15:19] Sonja Bikergrrl: oh-kay
[2024/07/18 15:19] Alicia Frakture: Leesha is going to exercise while keeping watch. Not screwing around just keeping herself in shape.
[2024/07/18 15:20] Sonja Bikergrrl: Darkness falls slowly. Out here, in the wilderness... it'll get -dark-, and the stars are noticeable. Katana frowns, and figures, maybe best to rest in a tent, or under the cart if nothing better.
[2024/07/18 15:20] Sonja Bikergrrl: Tiger slinks off quietly.
[2024/07/18 15:21] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: Debben moves out to sit by Katana for a bit. Looking up at the sky. "All those gemstones up there, in plain sight but too far away for anyone to mine them out."
[2024/07/18 15:22] Sonja Bikergrrl: Katana shudders, and looks at Debben with a slightly increduluous look for a moment, then quickly recovers. "Aye... in my time the sky is always clouded and obscured, to see the stars is a rare thing indeed."
[2024/07/18 15:23] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: "What, always? Doesn't ever let up?"
[2024/07/18 15:24] Sonja Bikergrrl: Katana: "Pollution... my future world is not good."
[2024/07/18 15:26] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: "They can't just drop the pollution into a volcano?"
[2024/07/18 15:26] Sonja Bikergrrl: Katana, with some amusement: "The whole sky? It would need to be a big volcano."
[2024/07/18 15:26] ɗίηα ωíƖɗę ღ (kitten.venus): pollution just sounds bad
[2024/07/18 15:28] Sonja Bikergrrl: Katana agrees with Dahlia. "Aye... Den Murderhobo is a necromancer of great power, and linked zombie brains to create some fast processing unit... an invention that resulted in corporate greed, extensive mining and wars. And, of course, pollution."
[2024/07/18 15:28] Alicia Frakture: Leesha nods in agreement as she sits down after exercising.
[2024/07/18 15:29] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: "Must have taken a lot of zombie brains. They aren't very fast on their own."
[2024/07/18 15:29] Sonja Bikergrrl: Katana: "And that is part of the problem. Two zombie brains were twice as fast... but a hundred? a thousand? Yet where do you get a thousand dead brains from?"
[2024/07/18 15:31] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: "The mountainhome? Probably from the cavern ranchs. use Snufflers or goats or something."
[2024/07/18 15:32] Sonja Bikergrrl: Katana: "Or, mayhap, a village of innocents, caught up in some large scale 'accident'."
[2024/07/18 15:33] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: "Like when they tried to redirect that river and messed up the flood gates a couple decades back..." she nods.
[2024/07/18 15:33] Sonja Bikergrrl: Katana nods in vague agreement, her eyes flicking to the north and east again.
[2024/07/18 15:36] Sonja Bikergrrl: It's getting quite dark at this point.
[2024/07/18 15:36] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: "So you think we're gonna find this Murderhobo out there soon?"
[2024/07/18 15:36] Sonja Bikergrrl: Katana looks back to Debben. "Hmm? I know not. There's two... and this kingdom covers a lot of land."
[2024/07/18 15:37] Alicia Frakture: "Hopefully, also what would happen when we take out Murderhobos
[2024/07/18 15:37] Sonja Bikergrrl: Katana: "Also? What?"
[2024/07/18 15:37] Alicia Frakture: Like to you I mean will you stick around?
[2024/07/18 15:38] Sonja Bikergrrl: Katana: "Oh! Then my quest will be complete. You seem worthy companions. We've travelled much, why stop that."
[2024/07/18 15:38] Alicia Frakture: Leesha smiled hearing that
[2024/07/18 15:39] Sonja Bikergrrl: Resting now, moving to morning?
[2024/07/18 15:39] Alicia Frakture: *Nods*
[2024/07/18 15:40] Sonja Bikergrrl: Time passes. In the morning, spell points are recovered, and Katana seems a lot steadier now.
[2024/07/18 15:40] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: I have... 3 spell points, right?
[2024/07/18 15:40] Sonja Bikergrrl: I count 4
[2024/07/18 15:41] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: nice
[2024/07/18 15:41] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: .....we own rope, right?
[2024/07/18 15:42] Alicia Frakture: Leesha grabs the bowl left for the tiger and begin to clean up.
[2024/07/18 15:42] Sonja Bikergrrl: you can, RAW, cast 1x 2nd lvl, and 2x 1st level spells. Takes a bit of noting, though, spell points are easier and more flexible, have the same net effect
[2024/07/18 15:42] Sonja Bikergrrl: I don't think anyone has rope.
[2024/07/18 15:43] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: this is going to complicate casting Rope Trick
[2024/07/18 15:43] Sonja Bikergrrl: heh. no rope.... how do you cast rope trick...
[2024/07/18 15:44] Sonja Bikergrrl: oh well :) Hashtag player problems
[2024/07/18 15:44] Sonja Bikergrrl: Meanwhile, breaking camp is quick. Moving on?
[2024/07/18 15:44] Alicia Frakture: Indeed
[2024/07/18 15:45] Sonja Bikergrrl: On we go. The cart rattles on, and the sun rises higher and higher, the country seems to be getting warmer. Its' mid morning when....
[2024/07/18 15:45] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: Debben keeps an eye out
[2024/07/18 15:46] Sonja Bikergrrl: ...you see someone standing in the road, leaning on a staff.
[2024/07/18 15:46] Sonja Bikergrrl: a very elderly man with the slightly olive cast to his skin of one from the East, his skin is covered in tattooed black and red lines, he wears faded robes and carries a staff, his eyes are rather milky and you're not sure he can even see; his age is hinted at by his long white moustache and beard.
[2024/07/18 15:47] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: "Hail, traveler!" Debben calls out, slowing their draft animal to two thirds of their previous speed.
[2024/07/18 15:47] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: Is he standing directly in the center of the road ?
[2024/07/18 15:48] Sonja Bikergrrl: More to the side of the centre, but yes. You'll have to stop or run him down or go off the track to go round.
[2024/07/18 15:48] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: does the track seem... hazardous?
[2024/07/18 15:49] Sonja Bikergrrl: Man: "This one has a name: This one is called Porphiron." You can see the tattoos on his face make sharp angles and jagged lines.
[2024/07/18 15:49] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: Debben elbows Katana. "I'm thinking this is a setup for a bandit ambush."
[2024/07/18 15:49] Sonja Bikergrrl: Not as far as you can tell.
[2024/07/18 15:49] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: oh, he answered us!
[2024/07/18 15:49] Sonja Bikergrrl: Give me time to multitask :P
[2024/07/18 15:49] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: "I am Debben. What brings you along these roads, Porphiron ? "
[2024/07/18 15:50] Sonja Bikergrrl: Porphiron: "This one maintains Erit-Agge. This one awaits one known as Leesha, and this one had an unfortunate encounter."
[2024/07/18 15:51] Alicia Frakture: Leesha? You mean me?
[2024/07/18 15:52] Sonja Bikergrrl: Porphiron nods. "The half orc, known as Leesha. This one has travelled far to meet you."
[2024/07/18 15:53] Alicia Frakture: Leesha just blinks for a moment."Um it's nice to meet you, how can I help you?"
[2024/07/18 15:53] Sonja Bikergrrl: Porphiron: "This one tells of event recent: Did you know this one was beset by three? The three demanded an item of this one. This one feared an attack: What does this one do? This one surrendered the item."
[2024/07/18 15:55] Alicia Frakture: Leesha narrows her eyes. You got mugged? Which way did they go? also what is the Erit-Agge?
[2024/07/18 15:55] Sonja Bikergrrl: Porphiron: "This one is of the Order of Erit Agge: We await the Final Days where all will be called to battle. The training and skills of this one: They are to be kept silent until then."
[2024/07/18 15:56] Sonja Bikergrrl: Porphiron: "The three, these may be found just up the road, maybe half mile."
[2024/07/18 15:57] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: "What do you know of how to recognize the three?"
[2024/07/18 15:58] Sonja Bikergrrl: Porphiron: "These three are easily recognized, and these three, they have the stolen item."
[2024/07/18 15:59] Alicia Frakture: Leesha pulls her wrench from its spot." I'm happy to help."
[2024/07/18 15:59] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: "...what was the item?" Debben, for her part, is a bit more dubious about agreeing to help someone they've never before met by attacking other people they have also never met before.
[2024/07/18 15:59] Sonja Bikergrrl: Porphiron smiles slightly, the tattoos on his face turning to elipses. "This one would ask, would you use violence?"
[2024/07/18 16:00] Sonja Bikergrrl: Porphiron: "The item is this: A rope of black and red prayer beads worn around the neck."
[2024/07/18 16:00] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: "I've had enough violence already to last me the month, thank you."
[2024/07/18 16:01] Alicia Frakture: Leesha scratches the back of her head."Have to be honest, it is usually my go to. Why do you ask?"
[2024/07/18 16:01] Sonja Bikergrrl: Porphiron: "If that is the message they understand: Then that is how the message may be conveyed."
[2024/07/18 16:02] Alicia Frakture: But you want me to try and go non violence if possible.
[2024/07/18 16:03] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: "Presumably these are the sorts of people who would take from a blind man to begin with."
[2024/07/18 16:03] Sonja Bikergrrl: Porphiron: "This one maintains Erit-Agge. This ones' skills must be kept silent. How you convey your messages, is for you to determine."
[2024/07/18 16:04] Sonja Bikergrrl: Porphiron: "This one sees many things."
[2024/07/18 16:07] Alicia Frakture: Leesha sighs.."All right, you got it.Care to ride with us while we go and deal with them."
[2024/07/18 16:08] Sonja Bikergrrl: Porphiron nods and wanders round the cart slowly. "This one will be happy to rest a while."
[2024/07/18 16:09] Alicia Frakture: And off we go, this one guesses.
[2024/07/18 16:10] Sonja Bikergrrl: Indeed, half a mile isn't a great distance. Ahead, to one side, you see three loitoring... humanoids. At least, they look like humanoids from a distance.
[2024/07/18 16:10] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: just loitering?
[2024/07/18 16:10] Sonja Bikergrrl: These characters are easily 7 feel tall, armoured, and possess extremely canine heads; they look rather like cartoon dog creatures.
[2024/07/18 16:11] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: "I -knew- there was a catch to this."
[2024/07/18 16:11] Sonja Bikergrrl: Loitering, eyeing you, and hefting large axes.
[2024/07/18 16:11] Alicia Frakture: Leesha walks up with her wrench on her shoulder.
[2024/07/18 16:11] Sonja Bikergrrl: Porphiron: "This one would have you know, these are the ones that stole this ones' item."
[2024/07/18 16:12] Sonja Bikergrrl: Katana slips off the cart and walks some distance to Leeshas' side
[2024/07/18 16:13] Alicia Frakture: Leesha nods and looks up at the trio."Hi guys." She motions to Porphiron."Seems you got something of his."
[2024/07/18 16:14] Sonja Bikergrrl: The creatures straighten up and spread out a little. "Hurr. That great big warrior? Hurr! What if we do?"
[2024/07/18 16:14] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: is one of them wearing the prayer beads?
[2024/07/18 16:15] Sonja Bikergrrl: No, you don't see them wearing such a thing
[2024/07/18 16:15] Alicia Frakture: I'm going to ask nicely to return it to him.
[2024/07/18 16:17] Sonja Bikergrrl: The creatures all start laughing. "Hurr! What this? Hurr! You great big warrior too? Hurr Hurr!"
[2024/07/18 16:19] Alicia Frakture: If I have to be.
[2024/07/18 16:20] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: Debben thinks to herself what a 7-foot tall hyena-person would be scared of.
[2024/07/18 16:20] Sonja Bikergrrl: The creatures snarl and raise their stone axes. "Hurr! That other great warrior, he clever head, he run! You, stupid head! We take heads!"
[2024/07/18 16:20] Sonja Bikergrrl: Roll initiative, d20, highest goes first
[2024/07/18 16:21] Alicia Frakture: *Question, are any of their tongues out?*
[2024/07/18 16:22] Sonja Bikergrrl: em....?
[2024/07/18 16:22] Sonja Bikergrrl: not overly?
[2024/07/18 16:22] Sonja Bikergrrl: also, Dahlia, D20
[2024/07/18 16:23] Alicia Frakture: *Damn, had a weird idea*
[2024/07/18 16:24] Sonja Bikergrrl: ....do I -want- to know...
[2024/07/18 16:24] Sonja Bikergrrl: Debben, Dahlia go first
[2024/07/18 16:25] Alicia Frakture: This one was gonna try to grab one by his dog tongue and yank him down by it to try and intimidate him from pain in his mouth.
[2024/07/18 16:25] Sonja Bikergrrl: okay... moving on.... :P
[2024/07/18 16:26] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: are they all clearly joining the fight?
[2024/07/18 16:26] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: as opposed to a one on one duel?
[2024/07/18 16:26] Sonja Bikergrrl: As far as you can tell, yes
[2024/07/18 16:27] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: Ok, for the one in the back... Debben will start casting an illusion, the appearance of her summoning a swarm of orange wasps and sending them at him to sting and bite at his face.
[2024/07/18 16:28] Sonja Bikergrrl: I am NOT going to ask why they're orange... I am NOT going to ask why they're orange...
[2024/07/18 16:28] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: :D
[2024/07/18 16:28] Sonja Bikergrrl: The rearmost one suddenly stops, clapping huge paw-like hands over his face. "Not the bees! Not the bees!!!"
[2024/07/18 16:29] Sonja Bikergrrl: while we wait for Dahlia, why -are- they orange?
[2024/07/18 16:30] ɗίηα ωíƖɗę ღ (kitten.venus): summons a dust devil and keeps it near me
[2024/07/18 16:31] Sonja Bikergrrl: that happens... next, an ear shattering ROAR as an orange and black striped missile launches from beside the cart
[2024/07/18 16:31] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: tiger wasps :)
[2024/07/18 16:32] Sonja Bikergrrl: The tiger pounces on one of the characters, biting, clawing. Blood sprays far and wide and there's a loud scream
[2024/07/18 16:32] Sonja Bikergrrl: holy moly... no need to roll for damage
[2024/07/18 16:33] Sonja Bikergrrl: I rolled anyway... 15 points of damage
[2024/07/18 16:33] Sonja Bikergrrl: That one goes down with a scream, abruptly cut off.
[2024/07/18 16:34] Sonja Bikergrrl: Katana is next.... only one left
[2024/07/18 16:34] Sonja Bikergrrl: Miss.... oh well. Leesha?
[2024/07/18 16:35] Alicia Frakture: Going to take a swing at the big guys leg. Full wind up and everything.
[2024/07/18 16:35] Sonja Bikergrrl: specifically, leg?
[2024/07/18 16:35] Alicia Frakture: /me nods. Considering height difference.
[2024/07/18 16:36] Sonja Bikergrrl: d20, -4 penalty
[2024/07/18 16:36] Sonja Bikergrrl: swing... and a miss....
[2024/07/18 16:37] Sonja Bikergrrl: The last one fighting flings a small set of beads at you, turns tail and books it right out of there. The other one runs off in another direction, screaming about bees.
[2024/07/18 16:38] Alicia Frakture: Leesha picks up the beads and brings it to Porphiron
[2024/07/18 16:38] Sonja Bikergrrl: Tiger rumbles a low growl, and retreats from the body.
[2024/07/18 16:39] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: "Hmmm. Well. It seemed to convince them."
[2024/07/18 16:39] Sonja Bikergrrl: Porphiron: "The message of violence is delivered. This one thanks Leesha."
[2024/07/18 16:40] Sonja Bikergrrl: and, seeing the time... I should get going
[2024/07/18 16:40] Alicia Frakture: Don't thank me, I missed. thank them, especially the tiger." She looks at the tiger."I am not cooking that for you."
[2024/07/18 16:41] Sonja Bikergrrl: Katana: "I'm not sure the tiger would eat them, they seem... unclean."
[2024/07/18 16:41] Sonja Bikergrrl: we call it there? Getting late and I got work tomorrow
