Side Quest One: A Slight Xenomorph Problem...
[2025/06/16 14:02] Sonja Bikergrrl: so... let's go to the table
[2025/06/16 14:05] Sonja Bikergrrl: Up for the TPK?
[2025/06/16 14:06] Sapphire: /me stretchies
[2025/06/16 14:06] Sapphire: Ah,xenomorph?
[2025/06/16 14:06] Sapphire: honestly surprised we're still alive
[2025/06/16 14:06] Sonja Bikergrrl: mmhmm
[2025/06/16 14:08] Sapphire: lesssee
[2025/06/16 14:08] Sapphire: Atilla Darkstar
[2025/06/16 14:08] Sonja Bikergrrl: yep
[2025/06/16 14:08] Sonja Bikergrrl: 14/17hp
[2025/06/16 14:08] Sonja Bikergrrl: Mecha showing 9hp
[2025/06/16 14:09] Sonja Bikergrrl: you got a drow, 1/10 remaining... or was it 1/12
[2025/06/16 14:09] Sonja Bikergrrl: A Xenomorph shadowing you, ensuring you stay in the cave complex
[2025/06/16 14:09] Sapphire: and we had both humans.... and one large Puppy with us
[2025/06/16 14:10] Sonja Bikergrrl: No humans... they all dead
[2025/06/16 14:10] Sonja Bikergrrl: well, all you've met
[2025/06/16 14:11] Sonja Bikergrrl: your mission to discover wtf is going on.... far from complete
[2025/06/16 14:11] Sapphire: we keep raising new questions, indeed
[2025/06/16 14:11] Sonja Bikergrrl: given that the last drow to die did so with something ghastly erupting from his chest would suggest you are now in a race against time to search for a cure
[2025/06/16 14:11] Sonja Bikergrrl: your time is... limited.
[2025/06/16 14:12] Sapphire: what possible cures do we even know?
[2025/06/16 14:12] Mecha: Part of that is to go over and look at the dead drow. Where in the body did it erupt from
[2025/06/16 14:12] Sonja Bikergrrl: And with that grim recap.... GGGGGGRRRREEEEEEETTTTIINNNGGGSSS Adventures, welcome to the first ever TPK that I'm presiding over :)
[2025/06/16 14:12] Sapphire: "This might be a time for us to get back to the priestess, hopefully they know what do about these..."
[2025/06/16 14:13] Sonja Bikergrrl: Mecha: you examine the body. It appears to have punched through the ribcage, slightly to the right.
[2025/06/16 14:13] Mecha: "puppy doesn't seem to want us to do that."
[2025/06/16 14:13] Sonja Bikergrrl: Sapphire: roll d20
[2025/06/16 14:14] D20: Sapphire rolls 15
[2025/06/16 14:14] Sapphire: "Somehow I think puppy doesn't care about us, just the things in our chest."
[2025/06/16 14:14] Sonja Bikergrrl: Failed INT check. You cannot recall any cures for... whatever condition you have.
[2025/06/16 14:15] Mecha: There is one other drow what is he doing?
[2025/06/16 14:16] Sonja Bikergrrl: Looking very pale, and clutching his chest
[2025/06/16 14:17] Sapphire: "Come on. We need help...or at least to send word back what's going on." He starts making his way towards where the priestess was, one eye tracking where Puppy is
[2025/06/16 14:17] Sonja Bikergrrl: (You may recall your chaperone very firmly and very gently blocked your previous attempt to escape the cave complex)
[2025/06/16 14:17] Mecha: Skamos is going to cause a big distraction."She runs to the drow."Lay Down I'm going to try something. Hopefully it will save you
[2025/06/16 14:18] Sapphire: ( hmmm....how many exits to this cave complex are we aware of? )
[2025/06/16 14:19] Sonja Bikergrrl: Right now, you're near what was their shrine/hospital area; you can head back (out) or forwards to where the cave passage curves right (head in, forwards)
[2025/06/16 14:21] Sonja Bikergrrl: Mecha, what is Skamos going to do?
[2025/06/16 14:22] Sapphire: yeah, am curious what Skamos's plan actually is... Atilla is kinda dry on options at this point other than trying to make a run for it
[2025/06/16 14:22] Mecha: If the drow lays down she's going to try a C-section to get the little bugger out and if successful cast mending to close him up so he would be weak but not die of blood loss
[2025/06/16 14:22] Sapphire: of course... the priestess had no idea what to do about the *last* person
[2025/06/16 14:22] Sonja Bikergrrl: you can go forwards, or backwards... backwards is -discouraged-
[2025/06/16 14:23] Mecha: The way the guy is feeling the chest burster should be okay for exit
[2025/06/16 14:23] Sonja Bikergrrl: that's interesting, Mecha
[2025/06/16 14:23] Sonja Bikergrrl: and horrific
[2025/06/16 14:23] Sonja Bikergrrl: and do you have the tools/skills to do this in
[2025/06/16 14:23] Sonja Bikergrrl: and how long do you think it'll take?
[2025/06/16 14:24] Mecha: Dagger and an intelligence of 16 +10%.. plus she is crazy enough to believe this will work
[2025/06/16 14:24] Sonja Bikergrrl: it's indeed crazy.
[2025/06/16 14:24] Sonja Bikergrrl: I swear you will put me on a list
[2025/06/16 14:24] Mecha: As for time. There is no way this is going to be slow and steady. if successful it is going to leave a big scar
[2025/06/16 14:25] Sonja Bikergrrl: /me googles "how long to cut open someones' chest"
[2025/06/16 14:26] Sapphire: do you need the ribs still intact afterwards?
[2025/06/16 14:26] Sapphire: and do you have any pain meds?
[2025/06/16 14:26] Mecha: Nope and nope
[2025/06/16 14:26] Mecha: this will indeed suck for him, but if it fails it wont suck for long
[2025/06/16 14:27] Sonja Bikergrrl: okay, google says nothing
[2025/06/16 14:27] Sonja Bikergrrl: I'm going to suggest it'll take about 3-4 hours
[2025/06/16 14:28] Sonja Bikergrrl: I'm further going to suggest the drow shoves you away and skitters back, shouting to Atilla: "Keep this fucking crazy demon bitch the fuck away from me!"
[2025/06/16 14:28] Mecha: this one disagrees on that as cutting in is fast, trying to pull it out will be gross but quick and then the mending spell should be zip zap. This one would say closer to 20 minutes. THis isn't time for clean and cute
[2025/06/16 14:29] Sapphire: "we'd bleed out over that long, Skamous."
[2025/06/16 14:30] Mecha: So what, wait for him to pop and try it?
[2025/06/16 14:30] Sapphire: "Can you even see what you'd be doing?" He's also pretty desperate, but getting his chest cut open in a random cavern sounds... like not great
[2025/06/16 14:30] Sonja Bikergrrl: also, Mending doesn't work on living matter
[2025/06/16 14:30] Mecha: Actually it doesn't say that
[2025/06/16 14:30] Sonja Bikergrrl: pretty sure it does...
[2025/06/16 14:30] Sapphire: It uses the term "object", no?
[2025/06/16 14:31] Mecha: *This spell repairs a single break or tear in an object you touch, such as a broken chain link, two halves of a broken key, a torn cloak, or a leaking wineskin. As long as the break or tear is no larger than 1 foot in any dimension, you mend it, leaving no trace of the former damage.
[2025/06/16 14:31] Mecha: This spell can physically repair a magic item or construct, but the spell can’t restore magic to such an object.*
[2025/06/16 14:31] Sapphire: living things are Creatures, not Objects
[2025/06/16 14:32] Sonja Bikergrrl: "This spell repairs small breaks or tears in objects"
[2025/06/16 14:32] Sonja Bikergrrl: creatures are alive, and aren't objects
[2025/06/16 14:32] Mecha: Leather was once alive. It is technically flesh
[2025/06/16 14:33] Sapphire: Right, so you can mend a Corpse but not a Person
[2025/06/16 14:33] Sonja Bikergrrl: /me word is final, and isn't getting into what was what before it became something else
[2025/06/16 14:33] Mecha: *Honestly this is the best idea this one can come up with
[2025/06/16 14:34] Sapphire: How painful do our chests feel about now?
[2025/06/16 14:34] Sonja Bikergrrl: not very; you feel rather like you et too much ice cream. Full, and sickly.
[2025/06/16 14:35] Sonja Bikergrrl: I'd suggest you might want to investigate deeper into the cave complex... while you still can
[2025/06/16 14:36] Sapphire: Ok, so probably still some time but we're... gah we keep panicing. Hmmmm. Anywhere that puppy seems not to be defending very well?
[2025/06/16 14:36] Sapphire: Yeah, deeper seems worth while. Maybe we can find something important or useful
[2025/06/16 14:37] Sonja Bikergrrl: The "friendly" Xenomorph seems to be lurking nearby, like a watchful parent.
[2025/06/16 14:37] Sapphire: spooky.
[2025/06/16 14:37] Sapphire: yeah, gonna try to advance deeper, gesturing to the other drow that's our approach
[2025/06/16 14:38] Sonja Bikergrrl: okay... the passage goes further, not far, before curving right, and leads to....
[2025/06/16 14:38] Sonja Bikergrrl: /me has to decypher what few notes she managed to find
[2025/06/16 14:39] Sapphire: ~~an assemblage of angry squiggles~~
[2025/06/16 14:39] Mecha: While They are looking for an escape. Skamos is still going to approach the drow."Look, I don't know if puppy can understand me or not, but My original plan was to cut you open to remove whats in you but Mending wont fix you." She says before looking up and sticking her tongue out."But if I appear to pose a threat to you and the thing inside. one of us can go warn the Priestess."
[2025/06/16 14:39] Sonja Bikergrrl: pretty sure it reads....
[2025/06/16 14:40] Sonja Bikergrrl: Drow: "Get. AWAY. From. Me.!"
[2025/06/16 14:40] Mecha: Skamos: Good, good play along. Just like that." Oh puppy? What am I doing now."
[2025/06/16 14:42] Sonja Bikergrrl: A storeroom (storecave?) with various sundry supplies in crates and barrels, of a mundane nature. Also, three humans. One of them is saying to the other two: "I'm telling you, Bargle has gone stark staring mad, and we need to get OUT of here. Taurus has fucked off and those damn drow slaughtered Aleena and many of our comrades. Now's our change, while that nutter is thinking he can communicate with that queen!"
[2025/06/16 14:42] Sonja Bikergrrl: Everyone roll d20
[2025/06/16 14:42] Mecha: *he?*
[2025/06/16 14:42] D20: Mecha rolls 14
[2025/06/16 14:42] D20: Sapphire rolls 20
[2025/06/16 14:43] Sapphire: :o
[2025/06/16 14:43] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 14
[2025/06/16 14:43] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 11
[2025/06/16 14:43] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 14
[2025/06/16 14:43] Sonja Bikergrrl: Mecha: who "he"?
[2025/06/16 14:44] Mecha: while that nutter is thinking he can communicate with that queen!" Is Skamos calling a queen puppy? If so, Skamos is she
[2025/06/16 14:45] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 2
[2025/06/16 14:45] Sonja Bikergrrl: ...moving on a step... Atilla goes first
[2025/06/16 14:45] Sapphire: Atilla is going to get into hiding and ready a weapon. This is looking like an unpleasantly close matchup.
[2025/06/16 14:45] Sonja Bikergrrl: ready what weapon?
[2025/06/16 14:46] Sapphire: um.... is this reasonable bow range or does it seem like we start out at melee?
[2025/06/16 14:46] Sapphire: Bow if we have at least 50 feet to work with, else Sword and Whip
[2025/06/16 14:47] Sonja Bikergrrl: they're very close, but, with a 20, I'd say you can literally pick what you want. Distance: about 20'
[2025/06/16 14:48] Sapphire: Wyvern Tail Whip and.... Net actually
[2025/06/16 14:48] Sonja Bikergrrl: okay, d20 for whip
[2025/06/16 14:49] Sonja Bikergrrl: And, who you targeting?
[2025/06/16 14:50] Sapphire: do they have any distinguishing features?
[2025/06/16 14:51] Sonja Bikergrrl: other than the guy with his back to you appearing to be more commanding? Not really
[2025/06/16 14:51] Sapphire: net and whip the apparent commander I think
[2025/06/16 14:51] Sonja Bikergrrl: okay, d20 x2
[2025/06/16 14:51] Sapphire: net
[2025/06/16 14:51] D20: Sapphire rolls 11
[2025/06/16 14:51] Sapphire: whip
[2025/06/16 14:51] D20: Sapphire rolls 19
[2025/06/16 14:52] Sonja Bikergrrl: okay, d4 for the whip, add one
[2025/06/16 14:52] D4: Sapphire rolls 4
[2025/06/16 14:53] Sonja Bikergrrl: Guy is injured -and- entangled. "GAAA! Get these fucks! How'd they get here?"
[2025/06/16 14:54] Sonja Bikergrrl: next, Skamos, Human & Xenomorph go
[2025/06/16 14:54] Sonja Bikergrrl: Mecha, what you doing?
[2025/06/16 14:54] Mecha: Still playing up the threatening role to make the Drow nervous to gauge what Puppy will do
[2025/06/16 14:55] Sonja Bikergrrl: ...are you going to attack anyone? do anything....?
[2025/06/16 14:55] Sapphire: ...during a fight?
[2025/06/16 14:56] Mecha: Nope just move forward and raise the dagger threateningly. Skamos isn't in the fight.
[2025/06/16 14:56] Sonja Bikergrrl: okay...
[2025/06/16 14:57] Sonja Bikergrrl: Human leader makes save...
[2025/06/16 14:57] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 10
[2025/06/16 14:57] Sapphire: um
[2025/06/16 14:57] Sonja Bikergrrl: and wriggles free of the net
[2025/06/16 14:57] Mecha: The whole thing designed to see if Puppy moves to protect him
[2025/06/16 14:57] Sonja Bikergrrl: The humans are showing fight, and Xenomorph ignores the entangled one.
[2025/06/16 14:57] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 16
[2025/06/16 14:58] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 13
[2025/06/16 14:58] Sonja Bikergrrl: Xenomorphh grabs a guy in both claws and literally wrings him like a dishrag
[2025/06/16 14:58] D8: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 5
[2025/06/16 14:58] D8: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 5
[2025/06/16 14:58] Sonja Bikergrrl: Ooooh.... nasty
[2025/06/16 14:59] Sonja Bikergrrl: there's a brief shriek, some snaps and pops, and a literal explosion of blood.
[2025/06/16 15:00] Sonja Bikergrrl: The other human just stands still and screams and screams, before backing away, babbling: "But the charm, the charm... but the charm!"
[2025/06/16 15:00] Sonja Bikergrrl: Drow warrior attacks the unentangled leader guy
[2025/06/16 15:00] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 18
[2025/06/16 15:00] D8: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 6
[2025/06/16 15:01] Sonja Bikergrrl: oh my. That's gonna sting.
[2025/06/16 15:01] Sonja Bikergrrl: end of round... start new round
[2025/06/16 15:01] Sonja Bikergrrl: Sapphire?
[2025/06/16 15:04] Sapphire: With the net busy, pulling short sword and getting the commander in the back
[2025/06/16 15:04] D20: Sapphire rolls 14
[2025/06/16 15:04] Sonja Bikergrrl: d6
[2025/06/16 15:06] Sonja Bikergrrl: Sapphire :P
[2025/06/16 15:06] D6: Sapphire rolls 4
[2025/06/16 15:06] Sapphire: right, sorry
[2025/06/16 15:07] Sonja Bikergrrl: You ram the sword into the guys' back, and he fairly well howls in agony. "Bastard backstabbing thing!"
[2025/06/16 15:07] Sonja Bikergrrl: ...oh wait....
[2025/06/16 15:07] Sonja Bikergrrl: he's dead.
[2025/06/16 15:08] Sonja Bikergrrl: Mecha?
[2025/06/16 15:09] Mecha: Since it seems Puppy is not even paying attention Skamos backs off. If you have an idea for getting out of this I'm listening."She says to the drow. *We are in a different room than the fight, right?
[2025/06/16 15:09] Sonja Bikergrrl: You're in the store area, with one human shredded and scattered, another stabbed in the back and one backing away babbling about charms
[2025/06/16 15:10] Mecha: "Keep that one alive! Charms might be useful!" Puppy, puppy come here!"
[2025/06/16 15:11] Sapphire: Is he backing away towards an exit or the corner?
[2025/06/16 15:11] Sonja Bikergrrl: Xenomorph is doing the equivalent of watching nonchalantly while leaning on a wall.
[2025/06/16 15:12] Sonja Bikergrrl: well, he's backing away, certainly, although it doesn't look like he's put much thought as to -where- he's backing away, as long as he gets -away-
[2025/06/16 15:13] Sapphire: Can I recover the net and use it again?
[2025/06/16 15:13] Sapphire: in one turn, rather?
[2025/06/16 15:13] Sonja Bikergrrl: I assume you already have
[2025/06/16 15:14] Sonja Bikergrrl: the guy is completely non-combatant at this point.
[2025/06/16 15:14] Sapphire: ah, so we can keep him alive, cooll... and one hostile left?
[2025/06/16 15:14] Sonja Bikergrrl: he's the only one, and, not hostile
[2025/06/16 15:15] Sapphire: "Now then. You're going to tell us everything you know about these charms."
[2025/06/16 15:16] Sonja Bikergrrl: The guy just stares wide-eyed. "Charms! Charms! Not working... not possible! Why am I still alive!"
[2025/06/16 15:17] Mecha: What are these smegging charms for?
[2025/06/16 15:18] Sonja Bikergrrl: Babbling guy: "Charms! Charms! Not real... I'm going to wake up... this is a bad nightmare!"
[2025/06/16 15:19] Sapphire: Move to grab him, press him against the wall, and search him for charms
[2025/06/16 15:20] Sonja Bikergrrl: Other than the very obvious medallion that he and every human you've seen so far wearing, there's nothing else about him that counts as a charm, as far as you can tell
[2025/06/16 15:20] Mecha: Didn't we take charms from other humans?
[2025/06/16 15:20] Sapphire: "Who gave you this?" He takes hold of the Medallion
[2025/06/16 15:20] Sonja Bikergrrl: Not that I recall
[2025/06/16 15:21] Mecha: Go to the nearest dead human and grab one from them
[2025/06/16 15:21] Sonja Bikergrrl: Babbling guy: screams and tries to slap away your hand.
[2025/06/16 15:21] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 9
[2025/06/16 15:21] Sonja Bikergrrl: ....just not with any degree of success
[2025/06/16 15:22] Sapphire: "You're going to have a much better time if you cooperate with us."
[2025/06/16 15:23] Sonja Bikergrrl: Babbling guy: clearly irrational with fear - bats your hand away again
[2025/06/16 15:23] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 11
[2025/06/16 15:23] Sonja Bikergrrl: successfully this time, and skitters backwards again
[2025/06/16 15:25] Sonja Bikergrrl: Mecha?
[2025/06/16 15:26] Mecha:
[15:21] Mecha: Go to the nearest dead human and grab one from them
[2025/06/16 15:27] Sonja Bikergrrl: did not see that; you now have a rather nice medallion dangling from a fine chain in your hand.
[2025/06/16 15:27] Mecha: Any writing on it or anything?
[2025/06/16 15:28] Sapphire: Atilla will just body block the door. "Name and rank, soldier."
[2025/06/16 15:28] Sonja Bikergrrl: A close look reveals bizarre little objects with what look like fine metal strands attaching them to a curious plate with metal tracks linking various metal strands. There's little cylinders, a black box or two... all very tiny and utterly alien
[2025/06/16 15:29] Mecha: Gonna put it on. The other drow would be too scared to try something on Skamos threw and Atilla is currently busy
[2025/06/16 15:29] Sonja Bikergrrl: The babbling guy manages to skitter away to the passage way you've yet to go. "Not real! Not real!"
[2025/06/16 15:29] Sapphire: Well, let's follow that guy
[2025/06/16 15:30] Sonja Bikergrrl: Skamos puts on the thing... if it does anything, you can't tell
[2025/06/16 15:30] Mecha: There are two dead guys I got one charm. You get the other one Atilla."
[2025/06/16 15:30] Sonja Bikergrrl: If you're heading up the passageway: you can hear a low droning, a muttering, in some bizarre language
[2025/06/16 15:31] Sapphire: Three, since I took the live guys one. I'll pull it on
[2025/06/16 15:31] Sonja Bikergrrl: you took his....?
[2025/06/16 15:31] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 10
[2025/06/16 15:31] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 5
[2025/06/16 15:31] Mecha: Get the other one for nervous mc scaredasshit.
[2025/06/16 15:32] D8: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 8
[2025/06/16 15:32] Sonja Bikergrrl: The Xenomorph is a sudden blur of motion, zipping right past you and grabbing the guy. There's a brief scream of agony, cut off very quickly.
[2025/06/16 15:32] Sapphire: I'd meant to take it
[2025/06/16 15:33] Sapphire: Oooh
[2025/06/16 15:33] Sapphire: interesting
[2025/06/16 15:33] Sonja Bikergrrl: well, he's dead now.
[2025/06/16 15:33] Sonja Bikergrrl: at least it was over quickly
[2025/06/16 15:33] Sonja Bikergrrl: d20s, everyone... CON check time
[2025/06/16 15:33] D20: Mecha rolls 3
[2025/06/16 15:34] D20: Sapphire rolls 2
[2025/06/16 15:34] Sonja Bikergrrl: Skamos feels a wave of nausea, and urge to throw up and a feeling of... -movement-... within
[2025/06/16 15:34] Sonja Bikergrrl: ditto Atilla
[2025/06/16 15:34] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 14
[2025/06/16 15:35] Mecha: Oh shit." Skamos said.
[2025/06/16 15:36] Sapphire: "Ugh," he leans against a wall, trying to throw up
[2025/06/16 15:36] Sonja Bikergrrl: As for the drow.... he's slightly worse off. He starts shaking all over, cursing wildly, and bucks and screams in agony... something smashes out of his chest in a welter of blood. For a moment you see something small and white looking at you, without eyes, and then it opens a mouth full of sharp metal teeth. "Uuuuuurrrrkkk...." it says... and darts away like lightning, out of sight.
[2025/06/16 15:37] Sapphire: "Fuck. We're out of time, aren't we?"
[2025/06/16 15:37] Sapphire: Moving down the unexplored passage the other guy was chasing
[2025/06/16 15:37] Mecha: Time is of the essence. Move to the drow and examine him did it come from anywhere close to his stomach which is right below the rib cage.
[2025/06/16 15:38] Sonja Bikergrrl: You made your CON checks.... you live another.... little while
[2025/06/16 15:38] Sonja Bikergrrl: Same violent punch through the ribs.
[2025/06/16 15:39] Sonja Bikergrrl: whatever it is.... it's coming out the hard way, each time.
[2025/06/16 15:40] Sapphire: Any clues down the passages?
[2025/06/16 15:40] Sonja Bikergrrl: There's that foreign drowning/muttering in that wierd langauge.
[2025/06/16 15:40] Sonja Bikergrrl: You both heading that way?
[2025/06/16 15:41] Mecha: /me nods
[2025/06/16 15:41] Sapphire: yeah
[2025/06/16 15:42] Sonja Bikergrrl: /me tries to decypher scribbles
[2025/06/16 15:44] Sonja Bikergrrl: ....okay... a large-ish chamber with holes in alcoves around the area, with what looks like steam coming up. A guy in robes, standing before one of those... -things-.... wait, no, it's just a live-size realistic statue. But two of them are definitely lurking either side of the room. Meanwhile, the guy mutters and chants: "Arise, my queen, lead your army to lay waste to the aliens here, bring them into your fold."
[2025/06/16 15:45] Sapphire: What's the guy look like again?
[2025/06/16 15:46] Sonja Bikergrrl: A guy in robes. He's facing away from you at the moment.
[2025/06/16 15:47] Sapphire: does it look feasible to rush up behind and grab him?
[2025/06/16 15:48] Sonja Bikergrrl: you can certainly try; going to attack, or grab?
[2025/06/16 15:49] Sapphire: grabbing spell casters tends to mung up their casting
[2025/06/16 15:49] Sapphire: so going for that, whip to if I can add that in
[2025/06/16 15:49] Sonja Bikergrrl: he doesn't seem to be casting a spell
[2025/06/16 15:50] Sonja Bikergrrl: okay... d20, add 2
[2025/06/16 15:51] D20: Sapphire rolls 16
[2025/06/16 15:51] Sonja Bikergrrl: damn, d4
[2025/06/16 15:52] D4: Sapphire rolls 2
[2025/06/16 15:52] Sonja Bikergrrl: I was going to say barely a scratch but mages are weak at fighting
[2025/06/16 15:53] Sonja Bikergrrl: He cries out as you attack, and shouts out: "I'm under attack! Get him, my beauties!" And then he holds out his hands, mumbling words of power as his fingers spray flames in all directions
[2025/06/16 15:54] D6: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 6
[2025/06/16 15:54] Sonja Bikergrrl: 11 points of damage...
[2025/06/16 15:54] Sapphire: Good thing I grabbed him!
[2025/06/16 15:54] Sonja Bikergrrl: Roll d%, must roll under 52
[2025/06/16 15:55] Sonja Bikergrrl: ....54
[2025/06/16 15:55] Sapphire: tens
[2025/06/16 15:55] D10: Sapphire rolls 2
[2025/06/16 15:55] Sapphire: ones
[2025/06/16 15:55] D10: Sapphire rolls 10
[2025/06/16 15:55] Sonja Bikergrrl: 20
[2025/06/16 15:55] Sonja Bikergrrl: The magic just does not affect you.
[2025/06/16 15:56] Sonja Bikergrrl: It does, however, provoke immediate response from the xenomorphs, all three of them.
[2025/06/16 15:56] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 10
[2025/06/16 15:56] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 7
[2025/06/16 15:56] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 17
[2025/06/16 15:56] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 7
[2025/06/16 15:56] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 20
[2025/06/16 15:56] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 9
[2025/06/16 15:56] Sonja Bikergrrl: ...do i need to roll damage...
[2025/06/16 15:56] D8: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 2
[2025/06/16 15:56] D8: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 1
[2025/06/16 15:56] D8: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 7
[2025/06/16 15:56] Sonja Bikergrrl: *GIGGLES*
[2025/06/16 15:57] Sonja Bikergrrl: He's torn to pieces before your very eyes. He dies a very surprised man.
[2025/06/16 15:58] Sapphire: :O
[2025/06/16 15:58] Sonja Bikergrrl: well, what now?
[2025/06/16 15:59] Sapphire: Do the other monsters leave us alone at the moment?
[2025/06/16 15:59] Sonja Bikergrrl: They are hovering about, like watchful parents
[2025/06/16 16:00] Sonja Bikergrrl: Mecha!
[2025/06/16 16:01] Mecha: Yeah Skamos has no idea what is going on as everyone who can help us is either scared of us, scared of puppy or are killed by puppy!
[2025/06/16 16:01] Sonja Bikergrrl: Sapphire?
[2025/06/16 16:02] Sapphire: Searching the mage for clues
[2025/06/16 16:03] Sonja Bikergrrl: Hmm... no Clues... but you do find potions.... three of them, in sturdy bottles, glowing a slight greenish
[2025/06/16 16:04] Sapphire: He holds one up, and compares it to the Decanter of youth he's been saving.
[2025/06/16 16:04] Sapphire: "Well, shall we take the risk, Skamos?"
[2025/06/16 16:04] Mecha: Any humans still alive?
[2025/06/16 16:04] Sonja Bikergrrl: Looks completely different
[2025/06/16 16:04] Sonja Bikergrrl: None that you can see
[2025/06/16 16:04] Sonja Bikergrrl: As for risk... you'll be rolling CON saves in a minute agin...
[2025/06/16 16:05] Mecha: Skamos nods."YEah, bottoms up!" AS Skamos approaches for the potions
[2025/06/16 16:05] Sonja Bikergrrl: CON saves!
[2025/06/16 16:05] D20: Mecha rolls 16
[2025/06/16 16:06] Sapphire: Atilla will also drink one of the potions... and offer to split half the decanter of youth with Skamos
[2025/06/16 16:06] D20: Sapphire rolls 16
[2025/06/16 16:06] Mecha: /me nods and drinks that too
[2025/06/16 16:06] Sonja Bikergrrl: Skamos fails this save, and staggers aside, feeling the urge to vomit... and collapses, losing conciousness AND the contents of her stomach
[2025/06/16 16:07] Sonja Bikergrrl: Atilla likewise fails, collapses, vomits copiously.
[2025/06/16 16:07] Sapphire: this is after we took the potions and Decanter?
[2025/06/16 16:07] Sapphire: or interrupting?
[2025/06/16 16:08] Sonja Bikergrrl: Some time has passed when you regain awareness. The creatures have gone away, steam still issues from the holes in the floor around the edges. You can hear alarming grunting, huffing sounds coming from down below.
[2025/06/16 16:09] Sapphire: Roll -away- from my vomit and try to stand up
[2025/06/16 16:09] Sonja Bikergrrl: good idea... no one wants to be covered in puke
[2025/06/16 16:09] Mecha: Same here
[2025/06/16 16:10] Sonja Bikergrrl: Standing up is easy. It occurs to you now you've slain the wizard and drunk a potion of restoration each, it's a good idea to head home - and report
[2025/06/16 16:11] Mecha: Wait, so puppy is gone too?
[2025/06/16 16:11] Sapphire: How do our chests feel?
[2025/06/16 16:11] Sonja Bikergrrl: sorta wooden, heavy, with curved li... wait, you meant yourselves. You feel a bit weak and woozy, but you're sure this will pass
[2025/06/16 16:11] Sonja Bikergrrl: Yup, gone.
[2025/06/16 16:12] Sapphire: Alright. lets... moving back to the temple quickly now
[2025/06/16 16:13] Sonja Bikergrrl: You find the priestess... slain. Dead some time, no doubt from a meeting with Taurus, the human fighter
[2025/06/16 16:14] Sonja Bikergrrl: Once back "home" you face -harsh- questioning.... ten drow are dead, but that's the least of their concerns. The death of a priestess trumps that, and, you have an outlandish story about alien monsters
[2025/06/16 16:15] Sonja Bikergrrl: They send a war band to check and clear out the area. You are sternly admonished and sent to your quarters, in some disgrace
[2025/06/16 16:15] Mecha: Skamos offers the charm she has towards proof.
[2025/06/16 16:16] Sonja Bikergrrl: You do, however... feel slightly nauseaous... a little bit sick... but it passes... you're sure you're alright... aren't you...?
[2025/06/16 16:16] Sonja Bikergrrl: And that concludes the Slight Xenomorph Problem!
[2025/06/16 16:16] Sonja Bikergrrl: well done on dodging the TPK :D
[2025/06/16 16:16] Sapphire: Oh, right. (when did we let Taurus get past?)
[2025/06/16 16:16] Mecha: Back in her room / lab Skamos begins working on fixing her monkey and eating a few pieces of hit charcoal
[2025/06/16 16:16] Mecha: hot charcoal
[2025/06/16 16:16] Sonja Bikergrrl: When you fell to the facehuggers
[2025/06/16 16:16] Sapphire: ah
[2025/06/16 16:17] Sonja Bikergrrl: you woke to a taunt written on the wall near you
[2025/06/16 16:17] Sonja Bikergrrl: I think I might've stacked it too hard.
[2025/06/16 16:17] Sonja Bikergrrl: but, did you like this... whatever it was?
[2025/06/16 16:18] Mecha: /me nods."It was fun."
[2025/06/16 16:18] Mecha: :)
[2025/06/16 16:19] Sonja Bikergrrl: in answer to wtf happened... the wizard picked up an alien abberation... decided to make a biological weapon out of it but decided to double cross the creatures of the Underdark
[2025/06/16 16:20] Sapphire: well, he was eaten by his own creatures
[2025/06/16 16:20] Sonja Bikergrrl: As for the xenomorphs.. they are hostile to all... -except- those with xenomorphs within, or, those wearing the warding devices
[2025/06/16 16:21] Sonja Bikergrrl: they would guard those with xenomorphs within, the only time they'd attack a "warded" individual
[2025/06/16 16:21] Sonja Bikergrrl: okay, hate to dash and run, but, run over time and I got work in the AM
