[Hans] Hello, All!!!!

[Lorie] Evening Hans and Bibo :O)

[Lorie] :: waves at BOB ::

[Hans] What an awesome week! And now I get to pig out with some soda & chocolate!!!! Woo-hoo!!! Party at Hans & Christy's!!!

Christy has joined the game on Fri Feb 16 19:01:14 EST 2007

[BiBo!!!!!!!!!] chocolate.... eww

[BiBo!!!!!!!!!] chocolate is the flavor of treachery

[DM] chuckles

[Hans] AND we get to slay some EVIL!!!

[DM] I have a question for you

[Hans] you who?

[DM] do you want to ignore two trolls, and skip that XP? or do the encounter, knowing it will be a bit harder here at night and low on spells

[Hans] I say prudence is the better part of valor. Or something like that....

[BiBo!!!!!!!!!] um.... that's not an answer :-P

[Hans] And, I don't think we're in a position to engage right now...

Christy is receiving the map snow field...

Christy has received the map snow field.

[BiBo!!!!!!!!!] I say skip any more random encounters we can and get on with the real encounters :-D

[Hans] ...So I would say no.

[Arilyn (Christy)] i say whatever

[Hans] I mean, yes, to *ignoring* the trolls. No to encountering them...

[Hans] Is that a better answer, Bibo?

[BiBo!!!!!!!!!] sounds good to me

[DM] yes

[DM] so you have to now figure out

[DM] the strngth problems

[Hans] MMMMmmm. This chocolate is good. You're missing out, Bibo. Hershey kisses w/dark chocolate. Yummy...

[DM] and what you are doing to do about that

[BiBo!!!!!!!!!] oh, I've had chocolate

[Hans] Yeah, about the missing strength thing.

[BiBo!!!!!!!!!] I know exactly what I'm not missing

[Arilyn (Christy)] is John coming tonight?

[Molly] Hi all.

[Hans] I don't like it. And Bibo, more for me, then (although we are separated by, what, 1200 miles?)

[Arilyn (Christy)] hi Molly

[Molly] Have fun with your trolls.

[BiBo!!!!!!!!!] you can have all the chocolate :)

[Molly] or your chocolate.

[Hans] Nononono. I think it's only 900 miles. But still, you get my point...

[Molly] or your chocolate trolls...

[Hans] Sounds yummy, Molly.

[Molly] ;-)

[Arilyn (Christy)] i could handle an encounter with chocolate trolls

[Hans] And I never said hello to my dear friend Lorie. Hello, Lorie.

[DM] when beth gets here should be fine

[Hans] How does Bibo get the map "Fairmyr"? I want the map to Fairmyr, too.

[SPC] ah

[Hans] How'd you do that?

Bunny has joined the game on Fri Feb 16 19:11:07 EST 2007

[Hans] A-ha. I got Fairmyr. Nyah nyah nyah nah.

Hans is receiving the map snow field...

Hans has received the map snow field.

[Bunny] I am back at the keyboard.

[BiBo!!!!!!!!!] but you have no chocolate while I have bob's leftover halloween candy stash

[Molly] good. you've also got an arrow in your posterior.

[BiBo!!!!!!!!!] so ha!

[Molly] ::wink::

[BiBo!!!!!!!!!] I ate all the skittles, there's still a bunch of sweet tarts though

[BiBo!!!!!!!!!] and starbursts

[Arilyn (Christy)] bibo- we have about twenty pounds of candy in our house not counting the chocolate

Bunny is receiving the map snow field...

Bunny has received the map snow field.

[Hans] Doesn't hurt so much, I guess. It could be worse. There might be no chocolate left in the house....

Molly is receiving the map snow field...

Molly has received the map snow field.

[BiBo!!!!!!!!!] I've got about twenty pounds of cheese in my house

[Arilyn (Christy)] there's probably 8 pounds of chocolate

[Arilyn (Christy)] cheese?

[BiBo!!!!!!!!!] but that's because I go through about 10 pounds every 2 weeks

[Hans] I'm working on it, I'm working on it...

[Hans] What??????

[Hans] That's a lot of cheese.

[BiBo!!!!!!!!!] I do love the cheese

[Hans] Almost a pound a DAY!!!

[BiBo!!!!!!!!!] no one can say I have a calcium deficiency

[Molly] peanut butter works better, marco.

[Hans] Of cheese!!!

[BiBo!!!!!!!!!] ack!

[BiBo!!!!!!!!!] you trying to poison me with salmonella?

[Molly] lol

[BiBo!!!!!!!!!] peanut butter she says

[BiBo!!!!!!!!!] yeeeek

[Hans] You're the tallest mouse in the world, Marco-

[Molly] nope, just get rid of the mice.

[Molly] ;-)

[BiBo!!!!!!!!!] :: grins ::

[Hans] Okay. Are we waiting on anyone else? I think Mike said he was out tonight, right?

[Molly] course, if you really wanna lose your cheese....

[BiBo!!!!!!!!!] yep

[BiBo!!!!!!!!!] this is us

[Hans] Any ideas on the whole strength thing?

[BiBo!!!!!!!!!] nope

[Arilyn (Christy)] no Mike? No John?

[BiBo!!!!!!!!!] ignore it and maybe it'll go away

[BiBo!!!!!!!!!] that's pretty much my plan

[Hans] I am back at the keyboard.

[BiBo!!!!!!!!!] unless kylia's got some sorta restoration spell handy

[Molly] or you could give it to hans.

[Percival (Hans)] Anything better than that?

[Arilyn (Christy)] isn't restoration like 7th level?

[Lorie] Emphasis on spell versus quantity

[BiBo!!!!!!!!!] is there a lesser restoration spell in 2e? I can't remember

[BiBo!!!!!!!!!] lesser restoration is like 3-4 and doesn't do the aging thing

[Arilyn (Christy)] it's kind of moot isn't it? Bob said nobody got spells back

[BiBo!!!!!!!!!] pretty much for restoring lost stats

[BiBo!!!!!!!!!] well yes, but we're about to go to sleep

[BiBo!!!!!!!!!] and I don't think anyone is completely empty of spells

[Arilyn (Christy)] well it didn't work last time we went to sleep

[Molly] unles ye olde trolls show up...

[BiBo!!!!!!!!!] shh. trolls are gone

[BiBo!!!!!!!!!] we've killed enough trolls

[Molly] uh huh.

[BiBo!!!!!!!!!] no more randomly encountered trolls

[BiBo!!!!!!!!!] or winter wolves

[Molly] tell that to the Troll Maker.

[BiBo!!!!!!!!!] we're done on those too

[Percival (Hans)] Maybe we just need a full day of rest. We haven't gotten that since last night.

[BiBo!!!!!!!!!] can't hurt

[BiBo!!!!!!!!!] to bed!

[Molly] this IS last night.

[DM] just to be clear

[DM] a full days rest means that

[BiBo!!!!!!!!!] no, last night is last night

[DM] no traveling or fighting ect

[BiBo!!!!!!!!!] this is tonight

[Percival (Hans)] Yes, that's what I want to try to do.

[Percival (Hans)] But I don't think they're gonna let me.

[BiBo!!!!!!!!!] I say we camp and then move on to our destination. no one's down more than 1 or 2 points of str

[Arilyn (Christy)] can we just teleport to a nice bed and breakfast and maybe come back here tomorrow?

[Percival (Hans)] I'm in.

[Molly] one or two points of strength?

[BiBo!!!!!!!!!] it's not like we have to carry any of you at the moment

[BiBo!!!!!!!!!] yeah

[Molly] I'm seeing -28 hit points for some?

[Arilyn (Christy)] we can leave the villagers here and hope for he best :)

[Percival (Hans)] Exactly, Molly.

[BiBo!!!!!!!!!] strength points, not hit points

[BiBo!!!!!!!!!] hey

[BiBo!!!!!!!!!] maybe heal works?

[Percival (Hans)] We need BOTH!!!

[Molly] I'd think that'd be a bit of a problem?

[BiBo!!!!!!!!!] does kylia have any heal's left?

[Molly] but then again, I'm a thousand miles away, so whaddo I know...

[BiBo!!!!!!!!!] oh the hitpoints we know we can cure, the strength points we dunno, that's why they're an issue

[Lorie] 1

[BiBo!!!!!!!!!] is the paladin down strength?

[Percival (Hans)] 1 point

[Percival (Hans)] and 28 HP

[BiBo!!!!!!!!!] he seems to be the most beat up, try it on him and see if the str comes back

[Arilyn (Christy)] sounds like a plan

[Lorie] Ramone moved 2'04".

[Lorie] Kylia Wolfslayer moved 2'00".

[Lorie] Kylia Wolfslayer moved 3'01".

[Lorie] Kylia Wolfslayer moved 117'04".

[Lorie] Okay...trying to target Percy but the icon is too small for it actually target him

[Percival (Hans)] Percival moved 102'06".

[Lorie] Kylia Wolfslayer: Heal: Let the healing power be cast upon you. The very potent heal spell enables the priest to wipe away disease and injury in the creature who receives the benefits of the spell. It completely cures all diseases or blindness of the recipient and heals all points of damage suffered due to wounds or injury. It dispels a feeblemind spell. It cures those mental disorders caused by spells or injury to the brain. Naturally, the effects can be negated by later wounds, injuries, and diseases.

[Percival (Hans)] Percival moved 86'11".

[DM] Percival's Current Hit Points: adjusted to 58 (28) - Unharmed

[DM] fully healed still down in strength

[Percival (Hans)] You stink, DM.

[DM] thank you

[Percival (Hans)] Thank you for the Heal, Lady Kylia.

[BiBo!!!!!!!!!] hrm... I don't suppose kylia has the necromancy sphere?

[Percival (Hans)] I say we build some nice fires and get as comfortable as we can.

[Lorie] no

[BiBo!!!!!!!!!] darn... that idea's out then

[DM] checking on dinner brb

[DM] I am away from the keyboard.

[Percival (Hans)] Wow, a Heal spell can't undo that damage? That's bad.

[BiBo!!!!!!!!!] well, it's apparently not a disease. so that's good

[Percival (Hans)] I am unaffected by disease.

[BiBo!!!!!!!!!] coulda been a magical disease :-P

[Arilyn (Christy)] maybe it just needs time to get over

[Arilyn (Christy)] i think bob would tell us if it wasn't temporary

[BiBo!!!!!!!!!] well, bob says it's in temp mods so that's enough of a clue for that

[BiBo!!!!!!!!!] I wouldnta given that much of a clue if I was him though ;)

[Arilyn (Christy)] are you a tougher DM?

[BiBo!!!!!!!!!] eh, on some things yes, some things no

[DM] I am back at the keyboard.

[Arilyn (Christy)] are the laws of physics strictly adhered to in your world?

[BiBo!!!!!!!!!] some of them

[BiBo!!!!!!!!!] my world has different physics

[BiBo!!!!!!!!!] it's flat for example, shapped like a cd

[Arilyn (Christy)] different can be god :)

[Arilyn (Christy)] little hole in the middle?

[BiBo!!!!!!!!!] yep

[Arilyn (Christy)] is it shiny?

[BiBo!!!!!!!!!] I've got a map somewhere... hold on

[Percival (Hans)] Okay so do we want to try to rest for a day: no exertion whatsoever? Just one day. Might not work, but it's worth a try...

[BiBo!!!!!!!!!] http://www.angelfire.com/journal/BiBo/Gilon.html

[Percival (Hans)] Anyone got a better idea?

[BiBo!!!!!!!!!] click on the map of gilon

[BiBo!!!!!!!!!] well, I do but not one that is within the realm of our abilities

[BiBo!!!!!!!!!] actually, how many of us aren't missing str?

[BiBo!!!!!!!!!] ouch, sweetums is down 3

[Percival (Hans)] We need our strongest person to be strong!

[Percival (Hans)] As strong as they can be!!!

[SPC] Wow! I lost three points of strength? Ouch.

[Percival (Hans)] Dear Giant, would you like to rest a day to see if the party regains some of its strength?

[SPC] Yes, that would be a good idea.

[BiBo!!!!!!!!!] it's entirely possible that you need full bedrest

[Percival (Hans)] Does anybody else have any ideas of how we can get our strength back?

[BiBo!!!!!!!!!] and we can't spare time with the villiagers we're carrying around. they'll run out of food

[Arilyn (Christy)] that URL didn't work Bibo

[BiBo!!!!!!!!!] we have to get to a town or something

[BiBo!!!!!!!!!] worked for hans, try repasting it. might cut off some of it

[Arilyn (Christy)] i'll try again

[SPC] The villagers can carry me 8-P

[DM] lol

[BiBo!!!!!!!!!] I don't think we can spare the time if we're gonna keep these villagers alive

[Percival (Hans)] Wizard, don't you have a "Make Bed" spell so we can get our full day of bedrest?

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "can't say that I do. "

[Percival (Hans)] One just never knows with you, Mage-

[Lorie] brb

[Lorie] I am away from the keyboard.

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] ::looks towards the villiagers:: "Do any of you know if there is a town in the direction we are heading towards?"

[Percival (Hans)] ::keenly intent upon the response of the villagers::

[Female Villager [23 remaining]] there was a town caled Fairmyr up in the hills

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "That's about as good as we can hope in this wasteland I suppose."

[Percival (Hans)] Let's go to Fairmyr first thing in the morning!

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "I say we press on until there and see if we can find somewhere there to rest."

[Female Villager [23 remaining]] it is or at least was a good town

[Female Villager [23 remaining]] a water wheel for grinding grain

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "Then we can stop as long as we need."

[Percival (Hans)] It'll be dark soon, Wizard.

[Arilyn (Christy)] i vote for warm beds and a good night's sleep with nothing trying to kill me in the middle of the night

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "Well yes, we camp now"

[Percival (Hans)] Dark is equal to potentially dangerous.

[Female Villager [23 remaining]] they do not think it is that close

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "But as far as full bedrest, we should wait until we get there."

[Female Villager [23 remaining]] not within 4-6 hours at least

[Percival (Hans)] How many days, do you think?

[Arilyn (Christy)] wherever that may be

[Female Villager [23 remaining]] but less than a day

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "We should get there tomorrow then."

[Percival (Hans)] Sounds great. Tomorrow then.

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "I'll take the first watch. Good night everyone."

[Arilyn (Christy)] good night then

[Percival (Hans)] 2nd watch.

[Arilyn (Christy)] how many watches?

[Female Villager [23 remaining]] three

[SPC] I can take the third one.

[Arilyn (Christy)] so the ladies get to sleep. Thanks fellas.

[Female Villager [23 remaining]] Time of Day: 08:00 AM. Day 11 Trall ___ tre, Kye {Late Winter} 11th, 2006.

[Percival (Hans)] ::Morning prayers and supplication. Calisthenics::

[Percival (Hans)] ::Singing::

[Percival (Hans)] ::This is the day, this is the day that the Lord has made::

[Arilyn (Christy)] so can we study for spells?

[Female Villager [23 remaining]] yes

[Female Villager [23 remaining]] spells are avialble

[Percival (Hans)] ::We will rejoice, we will rejoice and be glad in it::

[Female Villager [23 remaining]] strength is not

[Arilyn (Christy)] and will they stick in my head?

[DM] like velcro

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] just like peanut butter

[Molly] like cheese?

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] with samonella

[Molly] yummy.

[Arilyn (Christy)] yuck

[Molly] ::hands it to marco::

[Percival (Hans)] Let us away to the fair town of Fairmyr!!

[Percival (Hans)] And I have one for Lady Arilyn...

[Arilyn (Christy)] who hopefully has a functioning inn

[DM] did you get Wicked christy?

[Molly] thought we had two?

[Percival (Hans)] Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?

[Percival (Hans)] Thou art more lovely and more temperate.

[DM] arctic

[Percival (Hans)] Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May

[Arilyn (Christy) (to DM only)] no, not yet

[DM] not temperate

It is not the cooperative magic spell in the healing sphere of the same name. (This is a simple cooperative magic spell.

Through this spell, the priest improves the quality of another priest's healing spells. For the fortify spell to work, it must be cast simultaneously with a cure light wounds, cure serious wounds, or cure critical wounds. The priest casting fortify must lay his hand on the priest attempting the cure. When both spells are cast, additional energy flows through the second priest and into the creature being healed.

The spell creates either an opaque sheet of flame up to one 20-foot square per level of the spellcaster, or a ring with a radius of up to 10 feet + 5 feet per two levels of experience of the wizard. In either form, the wall of fire is 20 feet high. The wall of fire must be cast so that it is vertical with respect to the caster. One side of the wall, selected by the caster, sends forth waves of heat, inflicting 2d4 points of damage upon creatures within 10 feet and 1d4 points of damage upon those within 20 feet. In addition, the wall inflicts 2d6 points of damage, plus 1 point of damage per level of the spellcaster, upon any creature passing through it. Creatures especially subject to fire may take additional damage, and undead always take twice normal damage. Note that attempting to catch a moving creature with a newly-created wall of fire is difficult; a successful saving throw enables the creature to avoid the wall, while its rate and direction of movement determine which side of the created wall it is on. The wall of fire lasts as long as the wizard concentrates on maintaining it, or one round per level of experience of the wizard, in the event he does not wish to concentrate upon it.

[Percival (Hans)] A knight of the Dragon Slayers.

[Lethbron] the church of the lame and deciesed

[Lethbron] a chuch of mice is more than like not

[Lethbron] he snorts

Kira (Beth) fingers knife

[Lorie] I am back at the keyboard.

[Percival (Hans)] Are you trying to taunt me? I don't even have the pleasure of your name.

[Lorie] :: turns and looks at the man :: And who... :: sniffing :: are you?

[Lethbron] I thought you were a knight and forbidden any pleasures?

[Kylia Wolfslayer (Lorie)] :: yawns and air buffs her nails :: Surely someone as dim as you to not recognize the Draglonslayers when you see them can't be the leader of his people

[Percival (Hans)] I live modestly and I don't live for pleasure. My pleasures are small, like courtesy.

[Lethbron] yes I do beleive that when you say you are small

[Lethbron] look at the unhappy look on those ladies

[Lethbron] you must be small

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "I am liking this man already. Greetings sir."

Kira (Beth) cleans nails with knife

[Lethbron] and you are? a gypsy thief?

[Lethbron] king of the gypsies I suppose

Kira (Beth) glances at Ramone

[Percival (Hans)] Well you need to either give me your name or step aside.

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "Well, you're half right anyway."

[Lethbron] a rag tag charletan

[Percival (Hans)] Percival moved 64'06".

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "I flunked out of thief school. I'm just a gypsie mage."

[Percival (Hans)] Wilt thou move or be moved?

[Lethbron] looks at the rest of the group

[Lethbron] and what does that say about you,

[Lethbron] that you can not even qualify as a gyspy thief

[Kira (Beth)] 0.

[Lethbron] how much farther below stable boy is that?

[Kylia Wolfslayer (Lorie)] Look...if you're looking to trade insults...you've come to the right place

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "It says that you don't need to worry about your pockets around me" ::smiles and offers his hand in a handshake::

[Percival (Hans)] I will no longer be insulted. Raise your weapon.

[Kylia Wolfslayer (Lorie)] I can belittle you all day...and then I can have him :: flicks her head towards Sweetums:: beat you all afternoon

[Percival (Hans)] ::raises weapons::

[Percival (Hans)] Initiative, DM.

[SPC] I am back at the keyboard.

[Lethbron] he keeps his hands open and his long sword sheathed

[Hans] Percival targets Lethbron. Distance: 11'01"

[Sweetums (SPC)] I grab Percival

[Sweetums (SPC)] What do I need to roll?

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!) (to GM only)] Ramone: Pick Pockets check:(d100) [46] 46. PROBABLY SUCCEEDS against (95) [95] 95!!!

[Percival (Hans)] Initiative, Sweetums.

[Kylia Wolfslayer (Lorie)] So if you're looking for trouble...I suggest you take it out on the real culprit

[Sweetums (SPC)] (and as this is a surprise, I shoudl get a bonus)

[Lethbron] perhaps if you unsheathed your sword more often the ladies would not be so displeased

[Kylia Wolfslayer (Lorie)] Not us

[Lethbron] and yes to Sweetums

Kira (Beth) tenses

[Lethbron] target percy and roll

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] ::laughs::

[Percival (Hans)] I'm not surprised.

[Percival (Hans)] Roll for surprise.

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] ::and avoids the incoming paladin swipe::

Kira (Beth) casually "Sticks and stones, Percival, my friend. We know your worth"

[Sweetums (SPC)] Sweetums moved 85'11".

[SPC] Sweetums targets Sweetums. Distance: 0'00"

[Percival (Hans)] You need to move first before you attack me.

[SPC] Sweetums no longer targets Sweetums.

[SPC] Sweetums targets Sweetums. Distance: 0'00"

[SPC] Sweetums no longer targets Sweetums.

[SPC] Sweetums targets Kaarg. Distance: 72'03"

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] Ramone: INU check: (d20) [14] 14. PROBABLY FAILS against (9) [9] 9

Beth is receiving the map snow field...

Beth has received the map snow field.

[SPC] Sweetums no longer targets Kaarg.

[SPC] Sweetums targets Percival. Distance: 14'06"

[Sweetums (SPC)] Sweetums: Initiative:(d10+20-+3) [2+20-3] 19

[Percival (Hans)] Percival: Initiative:(d10+10-+2) [7+10-2] 15

[Lethbron] you two can make your rolls

[Percival (Hans)] Bob, or Bibo, can you email me the Combat & Tactics pdf? hdoerr@gmail.com. Thx.

[Kira (Beth)] ::aside to Ramone:: "has anyone done a sweep for evil here?"

[Percival (Hans)] Percival: Attack #1: Long Sword, +3: (14-(d20+1+3+1)) [14-(8+1+3+1)] 1. PROBABLY HITS Lethbron (AC FINAL: 8)!!!

[Percival (Hans)] Percival: Attack #1: Longsword, +1: (14-(d20+1+1+1)) [14-(8+1+1+1)] 3. PROBABLY HITS Lethbron (AC FINAL: 8)!!!

[Sweetums (SPC)] sigh

[Percival (Hans)] Percival: Damage v SM: Long Sword, +3: (1d8+1+3) [7+1+3] 11 [ROLL WAS MODIFIED] added to Lethbron

[Sweetums (SPC)] no grab attacks listed.

[Sweetums (SPC)] sigh.

[Sweetums (SPC)] (d20) [5] 5

[Percival (Hans)] Percival: Damage v SM: Longsword, +1: (1d8+1+1) [4+1+1] 6 [ROLL WAS MODIFIED] added to Lethbron

[Sweetums (SPC)] (d20) [10] 10

[Lethbron] just make a normal attack sean

[Lethbron] is ok

[Percival (Hans)] Done.

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] ::whispers to kira:: "I doubt he's evil, and I think he's not even a warrior."

[Sweetums (SPC)] Sweetums: Attack #1: Hammer; Stone Setting: (13-(d20+3)) [13-(11+3)] -1. Probably MISSES Percival (AC FINAL: -5)

[Lethbron] only the damage woudl be different

[Sweetums (SPC)] Sweetums: Attack #1: Hammer; Stone Setting: (13-(d20+3)) [13-(19+3)] -9. PROBABLY HITS Percival (AC FINAL: -5)!!!

[Sweetums (SPC)] Okay, I'm grabbing Percival

[Lethbron] ok

[Sweetums (SPC)] And carrying him back towards the party.

[Lethbron] so Sweetums grabs at Percy as he sees him swinging,

[Lethbron] I will say that hmmm,

[Lethbron] Hans gets the attacks off as he did go first in Init

[Lethbron] but the damage is halved

[Lethbron] as he is being dragged backwards almost at the same time

[Percival (Hans)] You just making this up as you go along?

[Lethbron] grins

[Percival (Hans)] Fine.

[Percival (Hans)] Drop my swords.

[Sweetums (SPC)] Bad Percival! Bad! No cookie for you!

[Lethbron] you have them percy

[Lethbron] no need for that

[Percival (Hans)] He will cease his malignant tongue.

[Sweetums (SPC)] Has he attacked us?

[Lethbron] you can even sheath them if you wish

[Kira (Beth)] ::snickers::

[Christy] I am back at the keyboard.

[Lethbron (to GM only)] Lethbron's Current Hit Points: adjusted to -3 (-9) - Dying

[Percival (Hans)] When Sweetums lets GO of me, I'll pick them up.

[Sweetums (SPC)] So you are maimed by mere words?

[Sweetums (SPC)] Sigh.

[Percival (Hans)] I told him to stop.

[Percival (Hans)] I warned him.

[Lethbron] Lethbron moved 80'05".

[Percival (Hans)] He could have stopped.

[Percival (Hans)] Are you going to let GO of me, Giant?

[Sweetums (SPC)] You both have little sense.

[Sweetums (SPC)] It's just that in his case, his mouth is unconnected from his head.

[Percival (Hans)] Should we do an opposed strenght check?

[Lethbron] Lethbron moved 61'11".

[Percival (Hans)] Percival: MUSC check: (d20) [5] 5 [ROLL WAS MODIFIED]. PROBABLY SUCCEEDS against (+16) [16] 16!!!

[Lethbron (to GM only)] Lethbron's Current Hit Points: adjusted to 35 (7) - Unharmed

[Sweetums (SPC)] Sweetums: STR check: (d20) [11] 11 [ROLL WAS MODIFIED]. PROBABLY SUCCEEDS against (+16) [16] 16!!!

Kira (Beth) scolds "Percival, you should know better "

[Lethbron (to GM only)] Lethbron's Current Hit Points: adjusted to 28 (-7) - Lightly Wounded

[Lethbron] Lethbron moved 8'08".

[Sweetums (SPC)] Just where do you think you're going?

[Lethbron] and

[Lethbron] he stands back up after that attack

[Lethbron] the illusion dispelled

[Lethbron] he is in armor

[Percival (Hans)] I cannot allow this miscreant to talk about me or my party like that. Can't allow it.

[Lethbron] and is carrying a harp over his back

[Lethbron] and a group of warriors rises up out of the snow to your right

[Sweetums (SPC)] Should I knock some sense into you?

[Sweetums (SPC)] It's just mere words.

[Lethbron] they are all holding attack

[Percival (Hans)] Whatever you want to do.

[Lethbron] watching the discussion in the party

[Percival (Hans)] Percival: MUSC check: (d20) [16] 16 [ROLL WAS MODIFIED]. PROBABLY SUCCEEDS against (+16) [16] 16!!!

[Sweetums (SPC)] Sweetums: STR check: (d20) [8] 8 [ROLL WAS MODIFIED]. PROBABLY SUCCEEDS against (+16) [16] 16!!!

[Percival (Hans)] Roll.

[Percival (Hans)] I win.

[Lethbron] nods

[Sweetums (SPC)] Sigh

[Percival (Hans)] Giant is no longer holding Percival.

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] ::walks over and leans on lethbron:: "Sorry about that, he is fairly touchy."

[Percival (Hans)] I pick up my swords and put them in their sheaths.

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "You should see him in the bars. Drunkardslayer they call him."

[Lethbron] he slips out from under you as you approach him

[Percival (Hans)] What is your name? ::glaring at the troubadour::

[Lethbron] I am lethbron

[Lethbron] he pulls the harp our

[Lethbron] over

[Arilyn (Christy)] i swear we have the touchiest paladin around

[Lethbron] and looks at the mage befroe strumming

[Lethbron] may I ?

[Percival (Hans)] Please.

[Lethbron] looking at Kylia and ramone

[Arilyn (Christy)] i'm going to cover my ears, no offense

[Kira (Beth)] me too

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "Sure I suppose. Do you have a story?"

[Lethbron] chuckles

[Lethbron] and starts to sing

[Lethbron] Roll #1: (d20) [1] 1

[Arilyn (Christy)] was there not an illusion going a moment ago

[Percival (Hans)] ::Listening intently::

[Arilyn (Christy)] and why are he and his harp hiding?

[Percival (Hans)] ::As the Paladin *is* a student of music::

[Arilyn (Christy)] well I'm plugging MY ears

[Kylia Wolfslayer (Lorie)] :: sighs :: A Minstral...lucky us :: rolls eyes ::

[Kira (Beth)] his way with words, it kinda figured

[Sweetums (SPC)] (and there was much rejoicing ... yeah)

[Lethbron] so that was an abilty roll

[Percival (Hans)] so he really really made it.

[Kira (Beth)] huh

[Hans] I am away from the keyboard.

[Lethbron] the last remaining free thinkers in the city-Lethbron Brosial and her band of survivors. Lethbron and her allies did not flee the city when the illithids took it over. Rather, they hid from their former friends and family, and now they wage a desperate war against the illithids and their conditioned thralls. These freedom fighters never stay in one abandoned building long, as the illithids are aware of their presence and sometimes send out patrols to deal with them. Lethbron’s goal is to slay as many of the conditioned citizens as possible. In fact, she often remarks: ”Better dead and free, then a mind flayer thrall.” She and her band are quite fatalistic and fully expect their own deaths to come from this cause

[Lethbron] you hear her dulcet tones and realize that the person in front of you is actually a woman

[Lethbron] disquised as a man

[Lethbron] leading a band of warriors against the mind flayers

[Lethbron] and everyone right now gets a +4 to there reaction rolls against her

[Kira (Beth)] well, that would explain the 'cutting' remarks on Percy's manhood

[Lethbron] and or +4 to saves due to the heroic nature of her fight against the enemy

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "Oh. Very good. Well we're trying to hunt down the mindflayers and kill them so that we free the thralls."

[Arilyn (Christy)] i'm just waiting to see if everyone starts acting like chickens or something before I unplug my ears

Sweetums (SPC) glowers at Percival

[Lethbron] you are not affected Arilyn

[Kira (Beth)] seeing how everyone seems to be taking their true form, I unplug mine

[Sweetums (SPC)] where's the reaction roll?

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "Nice to meet you."

[Hans] I am back at the keyboard.

[Lethbron] if you need to make one Sweetums

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "Since we have the same goal, more or less, would you like to join us?"

[Sweetums (SPC)] Do I?

[Lethbron] nope

[Sweetums (SPC)] okay then ...

[Arilyn (Christy)] did the paladin detect any evil around here?

[Lethbron] nope

[Sweetums (SPC)] Probably not.

[Sweetums (SPC)] Rash one, that paladin.

[Lethbron] not on her

[Lethbron] did not check the rest of the band yet

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "I'm sure we could use some brave sword arms in our quest. Strength in numbers and all that."

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "It'll be nice to have someone working with us than against us for a change."

[Lethbron] you are a gaggle of women and a rag tag lot of adventurers

[Hans] Some of us live and die for honor.

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "So I'll take that as a 'we'll consider it' then?"

[Lethbron] yes

[Kira (Beth)] so, some of us are women. You have a problem with that?

[Lethbron] you are the best I have seen

[Kira (Beth)] ::looks up and down at Lethbron::

[Lethbron] if you can make it through the wastes

[Lethbron] then you can die with us agaisnt the illithids

[Hans] Brave words. Well met.

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "Oh very positive. We plan on having the illithids die really. Thats sort of a key part of our plan."

[Kira (Beth)] I think our intention is to kill them rather than be killed

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "We find them and the illithids die. I'm sure you can see the pro's to our plan over yours."

[Lethbron] if you double click on enya you can see a quick sketch of the town she draws in the snow

[Hans] We are going to defeat the evil illithid.

Hans is receiving the map Fairmyr...

Hans has received the map Fairmyr.

Molly is receiving the map Fairmyr...

Molly has received the map Fairmyr.

[Arilyn (Christy)] i'm for the killing of them and not us

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "We've already killed several of their number and have tracked them here."

Christy is receiving the map Fairmyr...

Christy has received the map Fairmyr.

Bunny is receiving the map Fairmyr...

Bunny has received the map Fairmyr.

Beth is receiving the map Fairmyr...

Beth has received the map Fairmyr.

SPC is receiving the map Fairmyr...

SPC has received the map Fairmyr.

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "No reason to think that we can't do so with the rest of them. Do you have any idea how many are here?"

[Lethbron] there are still many to deal with

[Lethbron] they keep the center of town warm

[Arilyn (Christy)] do you have a rough estimate?

[Lethbron] so that they will not stray too far into the winter wastes

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "Hrm.... So the thralls all have a mark yes?"

[Hans] Lethbron, we have followed the trail of the Illithid here from far south. Do not hurt this one ::pointing at Brad Johnson::

[Lethbron] there area at least 2 dozen thralls there in down

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "How much of the town is thrall?"

[Lethbron] the true believers have no marks but the unholy obsession that thier new masters are right in all

[Hans] Can we go after the Illithid and avoid killing all the thralls?

[Lethbron] the thralls will prevent you from finding them if they can

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "So there are people there who are true believer s and look just like everyone else you say?"

[Hans] Then we must kill the thralls.

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "And they aren't controlled, just faithful in the cause."

[Lethbron] yes agreeing with ramone

[Hans] Ramone, how will we know who the thralls are?

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "Oh excellent."

[Lethbron] ”Better dead and free, then a mind flayer thrall.”

[Hans] I have detect evil.

[Arilyn (Christy)] i would hate to kill people that are unwilling servants

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "Okay I am starting to hear the beginnings of a plan."

[Lethbron] whe you use that Percy

[Hans] Being a thrall is evil, right?

[Lethbron] the entire band of warriros to your right glows with a faint evil

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] not necessarily, it's like being charmed

[Hans] Oh.

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "So how does one join these faithful? Is there a test or do you need to swear an oath or what?"

[Hans] But these faint evil ones want to take out the others, right?

[Lethbron] yes

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "Yes what?"

[Lethbron] they suck them in

[Lethbron] the true believers as they call them selves

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "They aren't controlled though."

[Hans] Illithid>thralls>Lethbron's gang. That's my order of priority right now.

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "They're just free to act for the illithid on their own accord."

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "Right?"

[Lethbron] they are lap dogs that jump to their masters bidding

[Arilyn (Christy)] we'll probably have to go through the thralls to get to the illithid

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "Perfect. And what does it take to become these lapdogs?"

[Hans (to DM only)] FYI, when my character detects evil, it is a visceral response like nausea: the greater the evil, the greater the nausea, okay?

[Arilyn (Christy)] i do n ot like lap dogs. I'm more of a cat person myself

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "Do you just show up to a church and say here, I'm joining your cause or what?"

[Lethbron (to Hans only)] yes, this is faint make a wisdom check

[Hans] Percival: WIS check: (d20) [11] 11. PROBABLY SUCCEEDS against (13) [13] 13!!!

[Lethbron] the town is either in thral or cattle

[Lethbron] ”Better dead and free, then a mind flayer thrall.”

[Arilyn (Christy)] are you thinking we can blend in?

[Lethbron] we strike, kill what we can and leave

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "Of course. Now try and answer me as though you weren't a programmed golem."

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "How do you join them?"

[Kira (Beth)] ::snickers::

[Lethbron (to Hans only)] you know that these are likley formerly good people who have killed and are turning to evil because they continue to kill people

[Hans (to DM only)] gotcha. kinda thought so.

[Lethbron] no one woudl ever willing join them

[Arilyn (Christy)] well obviously SOME would

[Lethbron] there is no way to do so without the illithids finding you

[Hans] Okay, we are going to have to go in there to investigate.

[Hans] We want the illithids to find us, right?

[Hans] We need to *kill* them.

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "So you're saying you dont' have operatives among the faithful?"

[Lethbron] no

[Hans] We might be able to make some of them talk.

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "Come now, what kind of resistance force ARE you? You need spies!"

[Hans] Without killing them, that is.

[Arilyn (Christy)] they don't really seem the covert type

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "They go out of their way to mask themselves in illusions, I'd think they could come up with some sort of intelligence plan."

[Hans] Don't be so hard on her, Ramone.

[Hans] What is your plan, Wizard?

[Kira (Beth)] Do we need backup? There are a lot of squids in there

[Hans] Lethbron, I need to caution you in your zeal.

[Hans] Sometimes we become a little too much like our enemy in trying to defeat our enemy.

[Lethbron] we conceal ourselves

[Lethbron] then we strike

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] Well, I'd like to see if we can get ourselves in a position that we can observe what's going on without becoming thralls

[Lethbron] and then melt back into the countryside

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "These faithful sound like the best path to that end."

[Hans] Let us investigate and we'll report back to you. You need not trouble yourself tonight.

[Arilyn (Christy)] i like the :do-not-become-a-thrall: plan

[Hans] You really need to take a break from all this bloodshed.

[Lethbron] you will not make it into town without being spotted

[Hans] You and your brave warriors.

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "The other possibility is that we somehow fake the mark of the thralls using the one our friend has as a guide."

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "See, if we join them, being spotted doesn't matter now does it?"

[Hans] I am not the deceptive type. I have the power of the Almighty on my side!

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "We claim to be faithful."

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "Who are they to say we arent?"

[Kira (Beth)] ::eyes Percy:: so YOU stay here

[Hans] I cannot lie.

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "Must make sleeping hard for you."

[Hans] And I recommend against it for all of you.

[Arilyn (Christy)] don't think of it as lying

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "I lie all the time. It's a comfortable position."

[Hans] I sleep just fine. Seems that I wake up in the middle of the night, every night, for about 4 hours....

[Kira (Beth)] Percy, sometimes a little subterfuge is the difference between ridding the world of an evil or not

[Arilyn (Christy)] think of it as going undercover for the good of mankind

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "Perhaps it's best we do this in a small group."

[Arilyn (Christy)] i agree with Ramone

[Hans] Well, when you put it like that, I can keep my mouth shut (I'll try really hard, that is).

[Kira (Beth)] If we did it your way, Percy, the illithid would have a Paladin to use after they sucked out your brains

[Hans] I don't like the idea of separating the party.

[Arilyn (Christy)] one or two can blend eaier than 5

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "What she said."

[Arilyn (Christy)] AND if the covert operatives become real thralls then we aren't all lost

Kira (Beth) spoken gently "and truth comes in many packages"

[Hans] Well, I will be here praying for you if you think it's best to split up.

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "I can get in and out pretty easily I think. I'd like to have at least one person with me, who's up for the challenge?"

[Arilyn (Christy)] seperating the party never ends well but neither will all of us going in trying to join

[Hans] Arilyn can teleport away if in danger, right?

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "Perfect."

[Arilyn (Christy)] yes, but only 1/day

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "Come along sweetie. We've a date with some Illithid."

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "You only need to do it once."

[Hans] What about a rogue who can slip into shadows?

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "That's to get away."

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "I can turn invisible, that's close enough."

[Hans] Do we not have a rogue among us?

[Arilyn (Christy)] I don't mind going if Ramone thinks I can be of use

[Hans] Kira?

[Hans] Arilyn, Ramone & Kira (if she wants to)

[Kira (Beth)] um, I'm a gypsy thief

[Kira (Beth)] and yes, I'll go

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "Alright, Kira if you want to come with us I'd like to have a word with you real quick before we go."

Kira (Beth) nods

[Hans] Be careful, though. What is your cover?

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] ::takes Kira off to some hushed whispering::

[Hans] Who are you going to say you are? And what is going to be your reason for going in there?

Kira (Beth) goes off with Ramone

Kira (Beth) looks back over shoulder at Percy "Just a sec"

[Hans] ::letting the conniving ones do the conniving::

[Hans] I am away from the keyboard.

[Lethbron] and everyone ok?

[Lethbron] you have a basic understanding of what is happening?

[Molly] offhand, not really, but I never do.

[Lethbron] what they ere trying to do in stormport

[Molly] ::shrugs::

[Lethbron] the mindflayers have achieved here already

[Molly] ah, okay

[Molly] mostly, I didn't get what all marco and party were so het up about. but they know what they're doing, presumably.

[Lethbron] chuckjels

[Arilyn (Christy)] so they are trying to freeze everything except their little area?

[Lethbron] you have a lot of faith in them

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "So Arilyn. What sort of spells do you have handy that might mask your form?"

[Molly] I do try.

[Arilyn (Christy)] none really

[Arilyn (Christy)] I'm more of a "blow everything up" kind of girl

[Kira (Beth)] um... hmmm

[Arilyn (Christy)] i can cast invisiblity but not today

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "I see. Well Kira here informs me that she is able to assume the form of a cat. Most innocuous. I think she is likely the best equipped of us to get in there."

[Arilyn (Christy)] ohh, that's a cool trick.

[Arilyn (Christy)] i like cats

[Kira (Beth)] ::grins:: either a cat or a bat and I can invoke and uninvoke at will, so it is pretty handy

[Arilyn (Christy)] i especially like the kind that fly

[Arilyn (Christy) (to DM only)] hint hint

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "So, I'm thinking she should go in as a cat and do some scouting. I will try my best to blend in and not be seen as an extra pair of eyes."

[Kira (Beth)] ::laughs:: I wish

[Molly] (I have something that may be able to help, but I'm a bit far away, hint, hint, hint)

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "I think this will be mostly Kira's bag though."

[Kira (Beth)] but, the ground version will be less noticeable

[Arilyn (Christy)] well go Kira go

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "She's sneaky to begin with and being a cat she'll be ignored."

[Arilyn (Christy)] that sounds like a good plan

[Kira (Beth)] ::swirls cloak around me and invokes it:: poof!

[Kira (Beth)] meow

[Lethbron] never thought cats wanted to be ignored

[Arilyn (Christy)] do we have anything we can give her to get her out in a hurry in case of and emergency?

[Lethbron] and kira especially

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "I've taken care of that."

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "She should be fine."

[Kira (Beth)] ppuurrrooowww!!!

[Lethbron] before you poof kira

[Kira (Beth)] Poofs back

[Kira (Beth)] yes?

[Lethbron] you are still abotu a half mile or more out fo town

[Kira (Beth)] true, it would probably be faster to poof close to town

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] no no, keep up the cat from here. don't want to be spotted changing

[Christy] I am away from the keyboard.

[Kira (Beth)] so, you gonna carry me? or I ride on your shoulder like a good little familiar?

[Hans] I am back at the keyboard.

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "Sure why not. I don't mind having a pussy ride me. Lets go."

[Kira (Beth)] ::glares and uses every claw to climb up with

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "If we're not back by nightfall, assume the worst."

[Kira (Beth)] mrowr!!!

[Christy] I am back at the keyboard.

Kira (Beth) bites Ramone's ear

[Kira (Beth)] hard

[Hans] ::Paladin praying for the safety & success of the mini-party::

[Christy] should we heal him before he goes?

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "Huh. If I'd known I could get this out of you this way, I'd never bother buying drinks for wenches in bars."

[Hans] I can lay hands on him.

[Lethbron] how many points hans?

[Hans] Or Lady Kylia could cast orison (or whatever it is for 17 points' worth)

[Hans] I can do 14

[Lethbron] Ramone's Current Hit Points: adjusted to 66 (14) - Lightly Wounded

[Lethbron] ok, so click that off

[Hans] That should get him just about all th eway to max.

[Lethbron] and the two of them are on the outside of twon

[Hans] Of course, I do it with a little more pomp and circumstance than that....

[Lethbron] grins

[Kira (Beth)] sneezes snottily into Ramone's ear

[Hans] ::chuckles::

[Kira (Beth)] pprrrrrrr

[Hans] Percival: Lay on hands: I heal (7*2*(-1)) [7*2*(-1)] -14 points of damage!

[Lethbron] so looking at the map of town

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] ::rubs his ear::

[Christy] so what do we do while they are gone?

[Lethbron] you can see that the largish area north of town

[Lethbron] is a stokaide

[Christy] stockade?

[Lethbron] the temple areas (square in the middle of town) is covered in purple slime

[Kira (Beth)] ::snickers::

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] no no, a stokaide. it's the german version of koolaide

[Molly] or stoke aide?

[Christy] ewww...

[Molly] ;-)

[Lethbron] and there are several other building that appareently are housing the rest of the towns people

[Christy] communal living?

[Lethbron] there are some people walking around that look like enforcers

[Lethbron] around teh stockade

[Christy] sounds like a hip, happening place

[Lethbron] and the area on the other side of the semi frozen stream

[Molly] in Germany, maybe...

[Christy] do they bathe or shave their legs?

[Hans] I am back at the keyboard.

[Kira (Beth)] purrpurrpurrpurrpurrpurrpurrpurrpurrpurrpurrpurr ::kneadkneadkneadkneadkneadkneadkneadkneadknead

[Kira (Beth)] shreadshreadshreadshreadshreadshreadshread

[Lethbron] waiting

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] ::looks around:: "Well Kira, this place is a lot smaller than I was anticipating. I wasn't expecting the illithids to be quite this in charge when they were so underground in the last town. How about you go around and see if you can't pick up anything resembling conversation. I'll try to keep myself from being seen"

[Kira (Beth)] Mrowr! ::jumps down and slinks away

[Kira (Beth)] I keep to the edges and move in the shadows and high places

[Lethbron] ok

[Kira (Beth)] listening to conversations as I come across them

[Lethbron] the center building the square is covered in purple slime and is obviously the center of town

[Lethbron] and where they live

[Kira (Beth)] I avoid the purple slime

[Lethbron] the stockade to the NE is well guarded

[Lethbron] te mill area along the stream

[Lethbron] has a couple of guards walking along

[Lethbron] the oppostie side of the stream from the mill seems to be where the heat is coming from

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] human or illithid?

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] guards that is

[Lethbron] as you get to the center of town there you see no snow or ice

[Lethbron] and all visible movement is by humans

[Kira (Beth)] I slip around the stockade, avoiding humans and detection.

[Lethbron] you are looking for? or in?

[Kira (Beth)] I'm looking for anything unusual

[Kira (Beth)] I go in if an opportunity presents itself

[Lethbron] that would be everything I suppose at this point, ;)

[Kira (Beth)] I pay attention to everything so I can give a full and detailed report of my findings

[Lethbron] very good

[Lethbron] you sneak about town for an hour or so

[Lethbron] you can report back on guard movements

[Lethbron] where people are

[Lethbron] etc

[Kira (Beth)] is the temple covered with purple slime?

[Lethbron] chance of being spotted is 25% (1d100) [55] 55

[Lethbron] and you are not seen around town

[Lethbron] and yes the temple is covered

[Kira (Beth)] completely? is there any place that is NOT covered? And have I seen any illithid anywhere?

[Lethbron] thefront door

[Lethbron] and no mind flayers anywhere

[Kira (Beth)] I'm avoiding that stuff like the plague it is

[Percival (Hans)] Come on, Bob, they're going to *spot* a cat?! What are they going to do? Say, "Shoo, kitty"?

[Lethbron] eat it

[Kira (Beth)] the pathway to the front door?

[Lethbron] dead of winter, food is scarce

[Percival (Hans)] Oh. That would not be good.

Kira (Beth) ::eyes DM::

[Kira (Beth)] There will be none of that here!!!

[Lethbron] so far your luck is holding out

[Kira (Beth)] this is a pg 13 game

[Lethbron] lol

[Lethbron] lol

[Lethbron] but ramone was having fun with your pussy

[Lethbron] ducks and runs

[Kira (Beth)] shit!

[Kira (Beth)] brb

[Beth] I am away from the keyboard.

[Lethbron] ok

[Lethbron] so

[Lethbron] moving on

[Lethbron] Ramone? anything in town as you wait for your reconisence?

[Beth] I am back at the keyboard.

[Kira (Beth)] THAT is a brand new monitor, dammit!!!

[Lethbron] was

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] lol

[Kira (Beth)] it does NOT like coffee

[Kira (Beth)] anymore than the laptop did

[Christy] sounds like you need a cup with a lid

[Percival (Hans)] A sippy cup.

[Kira (Beth)] doesn't help when you spew it

[Percival (Hans)] I need one of those, too.

[Kira (Beth)] I even got the wall behind the monitor

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] lol

[Christy] coffee colored walls are very in these days

[Kira (Beth)] yeah, I've decided that I'll leave my walls as is and call it humor deco

[Lethbron] ramone can count up to 60 people in the stockade, no visible mind flayers, and at least a dozen human enforcers

[Lethbron] but no sign of the mind flayers

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] the enforcers are thralls?

[Molly] LOL. how many's that now, Boss? two or three?

[Lethbron] dum dum dum

[Lethbron] and we STOP here

[Kira (Beth)] ::sighs::

[Percival (Hans)] We need to either find out how many mind flayers there are.

[Molly] ;-)

[Percival (Hans)] Uh. I LOVE THAT SOUND!!!!

[Christy] ugh

[Lethbron] Black Suits #1: Initiative:(d10+10) [4+10] 14

[Percival (Hans)] Tactics for fighting the Illithid. Stay clear from one another so they don't get more than one of us at a time with their mind blast. Stay minimum of 20 feet from each other. Left/Right/Front/Back 20 feet distance. They are very magic resistant, so try to hurt them as much as possible with weapons. Hit them hard and take them out. Draw them out whenever we can. This is not going to be possible at all times, but it has to be something we *try* to do.

[Percival (Hans)] Missile weapons will be great against the Illithid (if we don't have to actually *touch* them, that would be great). Of course, the Paladin is pretty much stuck with melee!

[Lethbron] everyone except the three off in town can roll

[SPC] Sweetums targets Black Suits #1. Distance: 61'07"

[Arilyn (Christy)] yeah, yeah, yeah

[Percival (Hans)] We are trying to PROTECT him, aren't we?

[Molly] Kit: Initiative:(d10+10++0) [3+10+0] 13

[Lethbron] you can make your attack percy

[Percival (Hans)] But he's 65' feet away, so if I move 60' then he's within my bubble and I get to attack.

[Arilyn (Christy)] just attack if you're going to

[Percival (Hans)] Percival: Attack #1: Long Sword, +3: (14-(d20+1+3+1)) [14-(20+1+3+1)] -11 [CRITICAL HIT]

[DM] Combat has finished.

[Arilyn (Christy)] you'd rather knock them down than kill them?

[Molly] ::yanks out tendrils::

[Percival (Hans)] What happens to the guys to the south?

[Sweetums (SPC)] Well, yes, I'd rather kill them.

[Sweetums (SPC)] But still ... 8-P

[Percival (Hans)] are they dis-enthralled?

[Arilyn (Christy)] and you're so good at it

[DM] they did not get a chance to react yet percy

[DM] they are not thralls

[DM] they would have moved up to attack when they got a chance to react

[Percival (Hans)] Oh, they're Lebron's gang

[DM] nods

[Percival (Hans)] I thought they were with the mind flayer!

[Arilyn (Christy)] whew, good thing I didn't throw the fireball I was contemplating

[Percival (Hans)] Is Brad okay?

[Molly] any other black suits around?

[Percival (Hans)] Percival moved 47'02".

[DM] no other visible mind flayers

[DM] Brad is woosy

[Molly] okay.

[DM] was one round away from being totally brain sucked

[Molly] yippee.

[Sweetums (SPC)] For what? The 10th time?

[Kira (Beth)] That might tend to make a person a mite woozy

[Arilyn (Christy)] well that one wasn't visible until he had his fingers up brad's nose

[DM] he is not normal but not permanent damage

[Molly] are any of us....?

[Kira (Beth)] ::snickers::

[Molly] :-/

[Kira (Beth)] not according to the research I've been doing ::grins::

[Percival (Hans)] Bob-

[Molly] oh goodie. I'd hate to be average....

[DM] yes?

[Percival (Hans)] Half the time, I'm going to be detecting evil in all directions.

[DM] lol

[DM] no I am not paranoid why do you ask

[Arilyn (Christy)] and the other half?

[Percival (Hans)] I know I'm not going to get all of them *all* the time, but I'm gonna get some of them.

[Percival (Hans)] The other half, I'll be praying, of course!

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to get you

[Percival (Hans)] Just want to let Bob know to keep that in mind.

[Arilyn (Christy)] because they are you know

[Percival (Hans)] I was going to say it earlier, but I thought it would be overkill.

[DM] ok, back to the cat in the village

[Molly] just make sure you're not praying on the wrong half, please,Noble One.

[Kira (Beth)] I'm not sure there is such a thing as overkill in this game unless it's Bob's monsters

[Percival (Hans)] Good job, folks!

Molly is receiving the map Fairmyr...

Molly has received the map Fairmyr.

[Kira (Beth)] back to the cat? ::cringes::

[Percival (Hans)] Maybe we should blindfold Brad because the mind flayers might be using his eyes to see us & where he is.

[Kira (Beth)] mrowr?

[Molly] ::Kit hands the Paladin a blindfold:: feel free.

[Arilyn (Christy)] is there anything we can do to undo the thrall thing now that we're here and no longer need him to lead us here

[Molly] yep. send him home.

[Percival (Hans)] Sorry, Brad. Leave this on until we need you in combat. You can take it off yourself once we enter combat.

[Arilyn (Christy)] we could slap him on the hiney and say go be free

[Kira (Beth)] LOL

[Percival (Hans)] ::helping him tie the blindfold on, showing him where to pull to remove it quickly::

[Molly] ::snickers:: cute.

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] I still say cut off his hand

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] or kill him

[Percival (Hans)] No and No.

[Molly] Sir Paul isn't going to like that.

[Sweetums (SPC)] How about using him as bait to lure the mindflayers one at a time?

[Percival (Hans)] And No to your next idea.

[Molly] He'd like his henchman back in one piece, please.

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] so no asking them to tea then?

[Arilyn (Christy)] i like the one at a time idea but why would they come out?

[Percival (Hans)] Sweetums has a good idea, but how do we do that?

[Molly] I have a feeling they already are...

[Sweetums (SPC)] What attracted the one we just killed to Brad?

[Molly] perhaps his mind?

[Arilyn (Christy)] i'll stand in fron of Brad and say "poor little me. I have such a big brain and I'm all alone and helpless!"

[Percival (Hans)] And let's dispose of this body. What can we do with it? Bury it away from us? Can someone do that while & praying and detecting evil?

Molly is receiving the map snow field...

Molly has received the map snow field.

[Percival (Hans)] Is there anything on it we can use to find out more about them or their evil insidious plan?

[Arilyn (Christy)] i'll frisk the illithid

[Lethbron] he has a dagger

[Kit (Molly)] Kit: INT check: (d20) [18] 18. PROBABLY FAILS against (14) [14] 14

[Arilyn (Christy)] is it magical?

[Percival (Hans)] Make a spellcraft check or use orison or something like that.

[Lethbron] nope

[Lethbron] no magic you can see

[Lethbron] he is wearing a suit, almost a wetsuit

[Arilyn (Christy)] Arilyn: Spellcraft check: (d20) [4] 4. PROBABLY FAILS against (int-2) -1

[Percival (Hans)] Okay. You get back to the kitty cat, DM.

[Arilyn (Christy)] have we gotten a good look at that before?

BiBo!!!!!!!!! is receiving the map Fairmyr...

BiBo!!!!!!!!! has received the map Fairmyr.

[Kit (Molly)] like the illithid suits we saw before?

[Arilyn (Christy)] why are they wearing these goofy suits anyway?

[Kit (Molly)] Paul's working on that back in Gon.

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] to keep their skin moist and not cold

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] it's like a wetsuit :)

[Kit (Molly)] in the middle of an iceberg??

[Arilyn (Christy)] but aren't they staying where it's warm?

[Kit (Molly)] that makes sense.

[Percival (Hans)] And here I was thinking *they* were responsible for all the cold weather!!!

[Lethbron] that is the warmest area on the map

[Lethbron] in town

[Arilyn (Christy)] let's take the suit off and see what hapens

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] they are trying to block out the sun. the cold weather is a side effect of that

[Percival (Hans)] Good idea.

[Kit (Molly)] fair enough. someone check it for traps first, please.

[Arilyn (Christy)] i've always wondered what a naked illithid looks like

[Kylia Wolfslayer (Lorie)] Okay all...I'm going to head out for the evening. Night

Lorie has left the game on Fri Feb 16 22:03:59 EST 2007

[Percival (Hans)] Hey, have we learned enough about the setup of town to do something?

[Percival (Hans)] Oh, no. We need Lorie to wage an all-out assault (or even something a little less than that).

[Arilyn (Christy)] i think our trap checker is currently a cat

[Kira (Beth)] night, Lor!

[Lethbron] is the kitty cat and wandering gypsy coming back?

[Kit (Molly)] ::sighs::

[Kira (Beth)] yes, I believe so

[Kit (Molly)] might not be a good idea to remove it right now, then.

[Percival (Hans)] We're just trying to find a weakness.

[Arilyn (Christy)] you think his clothes are trapped?

[Percival (Hans)] They've got to have a weakness.

[Arilyn (Christy)] we can wait for Kira

[Kit (Molly)] they've had surprises every time we've turned around.

[Kit (Molly)] you wanna get blasted now?

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] their weakness is a stake through the heart

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] it'll kill them

[Arilyn (Christy)] maybe another illithid will wander out

[Percival (Hans)] Let's find out what the cat learned.

[Kira (Beth)] so, Ramone, are we reconnoitering?

[Kira (Beth)] my feline intuition is itchy

[Kit (Molly)] let's be on guard for more surprise attacks until the others get back.

[Percival (Hans)] Percival moved 32'08".

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] I'd like to get a look inside the temple, but that's not gonna be happening in broad daylight

[Kira (Beth)] no, not even as a sneaky little .. kitty cat

[Percival (Hans)] ::Constantly scanning for evill all around us::

[Lethbron] smiles

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] the sneaky cat would still have to open the door

[Kira (Beth)] precisely

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] as the rest of the building is gooped

[Kira (Beth)] ::looks at paws::

[Kira (Beth)] ain't happening

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] which means someone's gonna see the door being opened

[DM] I do think that you should work out a plan with a couple of options an dhave lethbron help out on the attack

[DM] and then

[Kira (Beth)] ::delicately cleans between toes::

[Percival (Hans)] Is Kira back?

[Kit (Molly)] not yet, Noble One.

[Kit (Molly)] ::taps foot, watching for intruders::

[Kira (Beth)] I leave town and connect up with Ramone as sneakily as I entered, being just as watchful as before

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] I guess I've got half an idea for a plan, lets head back

[Kira (Beth)] Jumps to Ramone's shoulder

[Kira (Beth)] mrowr!

[Percival (Hans)] Okay, they aren't afraid of being out in the cold. They might be using Brad to spy on us; without his knowledge, that is.

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] ::returns with kitty::

[Kit (Molly)] hi kitty.

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "Hello everyone. Here's the situation."

[Kira (Beth)] pprrrwrowr!

[Kira (Beth)] Jumps down

[Kit (Molly)] any chance you can have a look at this suit for us?

[Kira (Beth)] POOF!

[Percival (Hans)] What news?

[Kira (Beth)] human again

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "They have a stockade with about oh... 60 prisoners in it guarded by about 12 guards. The illithid themselves are nowhere to be seen. My best guess is they are in a goop covered temple there.

[Arilyn (Christy)] we want to get this illithid naked so we can check out his goofy suit. Kira can you make sure there's nothing on it that will hurt us?

[Kira (Beth)] ::suddenly scratches head violently::

[Percival (Hans)] 12 guards seems easy enough.

[Kira (Beth)] DAMMIT, Ramone!!! You gave me a flea!!!

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] ::pets kira::

[Percival (Hans)] How can we take them out without alerting the mind flayers?

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "The 12 guards are just for the prisoners. There are several others throughout town that I could see."

[Kit (Molly)] ::steps back from kira and ramone::

[Kira (Beth)] ::growls::

[Percival (Hans)] Can you draw a picture in the snow of the layout & where the guards seem to frequent?

[Kira (Beth)] ::hisses::

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] ::does thusly::

[Kit (Molly)] nice kitty.

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "Now there's this temple here" ::points::

[Kira (Beth)] ::shakes head::

[Percival (Hans)] What can we do about the slime-covered temple? Is there anything we can do to disrupt it?

[Kit (Molly)] trap check, please, oh purring one?

[Percival (Hans)] ::nods::

[Kira (Beth)] yes, of course

[Percival (Hans)] It seems like they need to have that covering for protection or comfort or something.

[Kit (Molly)] thank you.

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] The temple is where the illithid are most likely hiding at the moment

[Arilyn (Christy)] that slime was all over their chambers in the sewers

[Kira (Beth) (to GM only)] Kira: Find/Remove Traps check:(d100) [8] 8. PROBABLY SUCCEEDS against (95) [95] 95!!!

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] They have no desire to go outside as I didn't see a single one

[Kira (Beth)] nor did I

[Percival (Hans)] How can we hurt them before we actually encounter them?

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "Distraction."

[Arilyn (Christy)] set fire to he temple?

[DM] on the town map is the path the guards typically take now

[Kira (Beth)] hhhmmmmm

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "If we free the prisoners and rile them up somehow we could split up their numbers."

[Percival (Hans)] I'm sure if we take out the guards, that would hurt them.

[Kit (Molly)] isn't the temple goop covered? be a bit hard to set it on fire.

[Percival (Hans)] Otherwise, why would they have guards? They wouldn't need them.

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "60 prisoners running helter skelter will do much to confuse the illithid."

[Kit (Molly)] that might work.

[Arilyn (Christy)] set fire to the stockade?

[Kit (Molly)] if they're free-willed.

[Arilyn (Christy)] i'm cold so i'm thinking too much of fire

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "That's no good. We have no guarantee that they wouldn't just let the prisoners die if we did that."

[Arilyn (Christy)] yeah, i'd feel bad about that

[Percival (Hans)] Lots and lots of fire to the temple. Lots. Maybe hurting the building can hurt them where they might otherwise be impervious to our mage's fireballs.

[Kit (Molly)] is the temple stone or wood?

[Arilyn (Christy)] the goop might not burn

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "I doubt burning the temple is an option."

[Percival (Hans)] And we don't have any decent siege engines lying around.

[Kit (Molly)] wood might burn. stone won't.

[Percival (Hans)] Avalanche?

[Kit (Molly)] how?

[DM] stone buldings here in the center of town

[Kit (Molly)] got any Elven powder around?

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "I think our best bet is to dispatch the guards in the stockades quickly and quietly then set the prisoners free and let the rest of the guards sound the alarm."

[Kit (Molly)] sounds good.

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "Then we use the chaos to kill what illithids we can and slip into the temple."

[Arilyn (Christy)] sure, we'll quietly take out 12 guards

[Kit (Molly)] we gonna deal with this blacksuit?

[Percival (Hans)] Sounds good. ::we could really use Kylia's fire elemental in this battle::

[DM] no pressure to do this tonight

[Percival (Hans)] At least, once the Illithid are involved, we'll need the fire elemental!

[Kit (Molly)] I'd like to see what happens to the body in cold.

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "The big problem I see however is that the prisoners seem rather... resigned."

[Arilyn (Christy)] yeah, let's strip him and see what's up with the suit

[DM] if you do want to wait to be at full strenght next week with mike and lorie

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "They don't look like they'd be eager to start running around."

[Kira (Beth)] I think that would be wise

[Percival (Hans)] We could begin the offensive and just stop at 11. It takes forever anyway.

[DM] and Kira strips him clean

[Arilyn (Christy)] and maybe John

[Bunny (to DM only)] Bob, what became of Enya?

[DM] taking off the suit undoing the buckles, etc

[Kit (Molly)] and Molly and Paul.

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "So we need some way to make them more eager to do that."

[Kira (Beth)] ewwwww

[Percival (Hans)] These are just the thralls.

[Kit (Molly)] any traps?

[Arilyn (Christy)] okay so what does a naked illithid look like?

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] you don't wanna know

[DM (to Bunny only)] enya is ready adn waiting i just moved her off this map so as not to confuse anyone

[Kit (Molly)] or other surprises?

[Percival (Hans)] A lot of melee...

[DM (to Bunny only)] ready to play her soon? I was going to insert her along teh way here

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] ::ponders and glances at the assortment of villiagers::

[Percival (Hans)] Melee sounds good....

[Bunny (to DM only)] Cool! Wish I could type! How get back to city map?

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "Our friends here might be able to help with the chaos."

[Kit (Molly)] any sign of slime under the suit?

[DM] to see the city click on ramone or kira

[DM] the path the gaurds take is drawn there

[DM] the painting tools are up

Molly is receiving the map Fairmyr...

Molly has received the map Fairmyr.

[DM] if someone wants to play john madden with a telestrator

SPC is receiving the map Fairmyr...

SPC has received the map Fairmyr.

[Kira (Beth)] ::refuses to go there::

[Percival (Hans)] Can't we at least start it tonight? We realize that it stops at 11 no matter what.

Bunny is receiving the map Fairmyr...

Bunny has received the map Fairmyr.

[DM] it is always up to the group

[Bunny] I am back at the keyboard.

[DM] I just do not want anyone to feel pressured to start if they do not want to

[Percival (Hans)] I'm cool with whatever you want to do, group.

[Kit (Molly)] you have four characters not here.

[Kit (Molly)] you sure you wanna do that?

[Bunny (to DM only)] Nevermind, I got it!

[Percival (Hans)] But it's pretty straightforward. We follow the path and kill the bad guys.

[Kira (Beth)] no

[Arilyn (Christy)] i think we should wait. some of us are down on hit points as it is

[DM] just to point out the road into town goes right by the temple

[Kit (Molly)] you're six against at least twelve.

[Kit (Molly)] and you need to be QUIET.

[Kira (Beth)] and Bob's games are NEVER straightforward

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] ::walks over to the villagers:: "Friends, I know you are not of fighting stock but you may be very helpful in defeating a great evil and ridding your land of this terrible winter. Please, any of you who are willing to aid the cause come see me. No combat experience or even desire is necessary."

[Kit (Molly)] cause sound travels.

[Percival (Hans)] If we have to attack them all at the same time, I'm sure we'd be okay.

[Arilyn (Christy)] we're never quiet

[Percival (Hans)] I'm not going to even try to be quiet.

[Arilyn (Christy)] we're not allowed in libraries as a group anymore

[DM] the villiagers look at eadh other

[Percival (Hans)] I'm going to take them out.

[DM] you promised to protect us

[Kira (Beth)] Noble Paladin, no

[Kit (Molly)] but doing a standard combat yelling thing is gonna send an alert out.

[Percival (Hans)] We will protect you. Don't listen to him.

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "And we have. I am not forcing you to do anything."

[Percival (Hans)] Once we engage in combat, Kit, quiet is gone.

[Kira (Beth)] ::looks around for Sweetums::

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "But we will need a distraction."

[DM] mumbling of agreement and some pushing others to the front to make them volenteer

[Sweetums (SPC)] Yes?

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] ::pauses::

[Kit (Molly)] sweetums?

[Kira (Beth)] ::points at Paladin::

[Kit (Molly)] go now or wait?

[Kira (Beth)] he's at it again

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "Wait a second. What was I thinking? We have a bloody army at our beck and call!"

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "Two of them in fact."

[Sweetums (SPC)] What? You want me to toss the paladin into the city guards?

[Percival (Hans)] Yeah, the Paladin is actually trying to defeat some evil here.

[Bunny (to DM only)] Loved your John Madden comment, BTW...

[Arilyn (Christy)] i'm still waiting to hear about the naked illithid and his black suit

[Kira (Beth)] ::confused look:: we do?

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "Of course we do."

[Kit (Molly)] ((actually, the army's still on its way...))

[Percival (Hans)] Lethbron's army.

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "No no. that's not an army."

[Percival (Hans)] Ummm..

[Percival (Hans)] ?

[Kira (Beth)] ::looks warily at Ramone::

Sweetums (SPC) pulls out 30,000 troops

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "We have 2 armies of our own and this is the perfect time to make use of them."

[Percival (Hans)] ??

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "Now hear me out."

[Sweetums (SPC)] (in Austrailan accent) Now *THATS* an army

[Percival (Hans)] ::chuckles::

[Percival (Hans)] ::listening::

[Kira (Beth)] ROFL at Sweetums

[Kit (Molly)] ::lol::

[Kit (Molly)] ramone?

[Arilyn (Christy)] please, do tell.

[Percival (Hans)] He's probably furiously typing right now.

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "We teleport to Roadhaven as well as Gon and get as many troops as we can muster through the pools over here."

[Kira (Beth)] do they all have big knives? ::giggles::

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "I don't know, probably not Kylia's troops."

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "But Paul's likely do."

[Percival (Hans)] An army would be good here. Once those Illithid get involved, it's going to be very bad.

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "So we get the troops and send them in. During the chaos we slip into the temple and deal with the illithid."

[Percival (Hans)] I'm not worried about the thralls at all compared tot he illithid.

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "That way we don't have to waste time and strength against the guards."

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "How does that sound?"

[Percival (Hans)] I don't know that we want to go *inside* their temple.

[Arilyn (Christy)] if a thrall sticks his finger up my nose, it's gross but not deadly

[Percival (Hans)] I want to draw them out.

[Kira (Beth)] I like it

[Percival (Hans)] Close quarters is very very bad for us.

[Arilyn (Christy)] the more the merrier

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "Well a rampaging army might do wonders at doing that."

[Percival (Hans)] Very very bad.

[Kira (Beth)] I like armies

[Kira (Beth)] they are good at taking damage

[Kit (Molly)] for tackling the temple, that's a great idea.

[Percival (Hans)] An army can pound the temple into the ground.

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "Kylia has at least 60 or so priests she could summon here and I'm sure Paul could get us about as many warriors."

[Kit (Molly)] Paul may have help.

[Kit (Molly)] he does, and Rose too.

[Kira (Beth)] ah, yes, Rose is with him, isn't she?

[Kit (Molly)] yes.

[Percival (Hans)] Any of her priests have earthquake or stuff like that, I wonder?

[Kira (Beth)] there are her people to consider as well

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "Her priests aren't that powerful."

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "But she might have something like that."

[Kira (Beth)] nods

[Percival (Hans)] Maybe we should just soften up the enemy by taking out the guards first, freeing the people and then coming back with an army to deal with the illithid.

[Arilyn (Christy)] could they stone shape the temple into a pile of rubble and smush ghem all?

[Kira (Beth)] we'd still have to go in and deal with the spawn

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "The army is to get the guards and to confuse the illithid. If we go in first, the army won't be as useful."

[Kit (Molly)] if we're gonna do one, we should do everything basically one after the other.

[Percival (Hans)] We don't need an army for the guards.

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "If they can free the prisoners in the process all the better."

[Percival (Hans)] Sweetums and I can take care of the guards (but it would be nice to have help).

[Arilyn (Christy)] shock and awe

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "No, we ignore the guards. Our armies can tackle them. They're only human."

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "We take on the illithids."

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "They're the real danger."

[Percival (Hans)] We need to smash the temple with logs and just ram it on each side.

[Kira (Beth)] Who are you and what have yoiu done with Ramone???

[Kit (Molly)] can I suggest we find out about this black suit guy, and bring Rose here?

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] ::smirks:: "What are you talking about my dear?"

[Percival (Hans)] We cannot go in there and hope to survive.

[Arilyn (Christy)] did we get the suit off the illithid we just killed?

[Kit (Molly)] yes

[DM] yes kira took it off of him

[Arilyn (Christy)] anything special about it?

[Kira (Beth)] ::smirks back:: you know very well waht I'm talking about, Gypsy

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "We have to go in there. The troops will get some of them out though. It won't be that bad."

[Percival (Hans)] We get 1 attack (if that) and then we get mind blasted and it's all over. I will just stand there for 8 rounds while the suck out my brain.

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "Yes, but they'll be distracted by troops that they'll also be trying to mind blast."

[Kit (Molly)] the suit?

[Percival (Hans)] I'm not up for that.

[Percival (Hans)] How big is this temple, Bob?

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "They can't mindblast ALL of us."

[Kira (Beth)] and just for the sake of giving me unwanted visuals, just what does a naked illithid look like?

[DM] chuckles

[Percival (Hans)] Let's see: 40' by 10' or something like that?

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] uh no, like 150' square

[DM] two legs two arms no visible sexual organs

[DM] smooth slimy skin

[Arilyn (Christy)] kind of like a ken doll

[Kira (Beth)] no belly button?

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] illithid are asexual

[Kira (Beth)] no mammaries?

[DM] no belly button or breasts

[Kira (Beth)] just musculature?

[Arilyn (Christy)] and the suit?

[Kira (Beth)] 5 fingers on each hand and 5 toes on each foot?

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "So now we just need to get us some troops over here and start a little riot."

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "No point in having troops if they're never used am I right?"

[DM] nothign sepcial about the suit

[Percival (Hans)] So you're saying we take 100 people inside the temple with us?

[DM] for a human, it is designe to kep teh skin lmoist

[Kira (Beth)] ::nods:: I agree, Ramone

[Arilyn (Christy)] do we have anything to lead us to believe they have underground caverns or anything here?

[Kira (Beth)] experience

[Kira (Beth)] it's their MO

[Kit (Molly)] any sign of slime on the suit?

[Kira (Beth)] and there will be lots of little caverns with shallow pools filled with cute little tadpoles

[Percival (Hans)] Is there anything that can shield us from their mind blast, Mage?

[Kira (Beth)] and we need to exterminate every last one

[Arilyn (Christy)] so they are probably not all sitting around a table there inside the temple

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "No. We get 100 people have them start chaos in the town. Take out the guards and draw out a few of the illithids. Once the outside is secure and no more seem to be going out to fight us we go in and wipe up the rest."

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "And yes there are many things, none of which do we have access to."

[Kit (Molly)] we've tried things in the past. none have worked.

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] ((well technically we do but ramone has no knowledge of it))

[Arilyn (Christy)] who would have knowledge of it?

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] ((and it'd be a neat trick getting it here anyway))

[Percival (Hans)] Okay, fine. This time, though, we go very slowly once we're inside the caverns.

[Kit (Molly)] Paul may have something new.

[Kira (Beth)] you won't see me rushing through there

[Percival (Hans)] And we spread out enough so they can't get us al at the same time.

[Kira (Beth)] ok, who is going for Paul?

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "So now that we have a plan, it's time to gather the troops."

[Percival (Hans)] So how are we going to get the troops here, Ramone?

[Kira (Beth)] and for Kylia's troops?

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "The pools."

[Kira (Beth)] right

[Percival (Hans)] Where are the pools?

[Kira (Beth)] ......

[Percival (Hans)] Are they here?

[Kit (Molly)] he was trying to dissect the heads of the illithids we got in stormport, to see if he could find a way to block their mindblast.

[Arilyn (Christy)] is there natural water around?

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "There's one in roadhaven and one in gon. They step into said pools and can get to anywhere they focus on."

[Kira (Beth)] looks around at the snow

[Percival (Hans)] How do we get back to get to the pool?

[Arilyn (Christy)] so we don't need any here?

[Kira (Beth)] lots

[Kit (Molly)] ::takes the blacksuit body off several hundred yards and buries it::

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "Getting back requires a body of water and there's a river going through town."

[Percival (Hans)] Ah.

[Percival (Hans)] Curious mages.

[Kira (Beth)] which means that it leaves town also

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "Now I can teleport, I'll take kylia back to roadhaven then use the pool to get to gon and see if we can get some help from Paul."

[Arilyn (Christy)] so they'll step out of the river right into the center of town?

Molly is receiving the map Base Map...

Molly has received the map Base Map.

Molly is now controlling Rosethorn

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "With any luck we'll have an army of about 50 clerics and 50 soldiers. Maybe more."

[Kira (Beth)] ah, right

[Percival (Hans)] That's great. Where are you going to bring them, exactly?

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "Right here."

[Percival (Hans)] And when?

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] "Within the day I suppose."

[Percival (Hans)] Well, we'll be here. Hurry, Wizard!

[Percival (Hans)] Percival moved 54'06".

[Arilyn (Christy)] oh my goodness! are we formulating a plan? ::sniff, sniff, I'm so proud::

[DM] chuckles

[Kira (Beth)] ::chuckles::

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] so bob, for ease of doing this can we say I grab kylia and poof back to roadhaven?

[Percival (Hans)] Percival moved 47'08".

[DM] yes to the poof back, but not to bringing in the troops without her saying so

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] that's fine

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] I'll compose a nice email with the plan and a request to both paul and kylia for troops

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] then we can start next week storming the castle

[Arilyn (Christy)] I'd like to get healed before we do this. I don't want to start off down nearly a third of my hp

[Percival (Hans)] For the record, I don't think we need the troops against the thralls, just against the illithid. And we need them so they can't get a bead on us and stun us all simultaneously...

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] we'll have an army of 50 clerics, I'm sure you'll get healed :)

[Kit (Molly)] ((I don't think you're gonna be able to do any actual combat tonight. there's four people not here.))

[Arilyn (Christy)] and it's late

[Percival (Hans)] It's almost 11.

[Percival (Hans)] And I'm very tired.

[Kit (Molly)] ((and there's some explanations the group might be interested in.))

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] so, I'll write up the e-mail when I get home we'll make with the storming of the castle next week

[Percival (Hans)] Excellent.

[Arilyn (Christy)] make with the explaining

[Sweetums (SPC)] Great, our paladin is sounding like Mr. Burns.

[Kira (Beth)] YYAAAAYYYY

[Kira (Beth)] lol

[Percival (Hans)] Who's Mr. Burns?

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] I'll be sure to explain the plan in every detail

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] from the simpsons?

[Sweetums (SPC)] Homer Simpson's boss.

[Kit (Molly)] ((rather hard to when Rose is so far away))

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] the old guy

[Kit (Molly)] ((hint hint, Ramone))

[Percival (Hans)] Yeah, don't know anything about that. WHen we watch TV, it's generally CSI or Scrubs and that's about it...

[Arilyn (Christy)] heros

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] ((:: is apparently lost on the hint :: ))

[Percival (Hans)] Oh, and Deal or No Deal. Little Hans loves that show.

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] heroes is AWESOME

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] I wanna be hiro nagamura!

[Kira (Beth)] LOL

[Arilyn (Christy)] he's the best

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] he was on jay leno the other night

[Kit (Molly)] ((you coming to Gon or not))

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] he went into the future to get the sports illustrated swimsuit issue

[Kira (Beth)] I've never watched it, but my son never misses an episode

[Arilyn (Christy)] i tivo it

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] oh it's bloody awesome. you can find the episodes on the nbc website

[Percival (Hans)] Yeah, it's a high-school kid show. That my wife likes.

[Kira (Beth)] lol

[Kira (Beth)] I don't watch TV

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] ::is past college now thankyou ::

[Kira (Beth)] I have the internet

[Percival (Hans)] good for you, beth-

[Kira (Beth)] ::grins::

[Sweetums (SPC)] I generally watch Good Eats and Mythbusters.

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] well you can watch heroes on the internet :)

[Arilyn (Christy)] nbc.com to download episodes

[Percival (Hans)] I'm talking about the show, not you, Marco-

[Kira (Beth)] Does a WoW dance...

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] Heroes and grey's anatomy are the only 2 shows I watch anymore

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] no clue why I like grey's anatomy

[Arilyn (Christy)] me too!

[DM] cute women

[Percival (Hans)] And that's a chick show.

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] noting about it really screams good show

[Kira (Beth)] I like Greys Anatomy from the little bit of TV I watched at my son's when I lived with him for short while

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] but I still keep watching it religiously

[Arilyn (Christy)] i don't think they'll kill meredith

[Kira (Beth)] I really liked House

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] of course they wont

[Sweetums (SPC)] So maybe they need to hire someone to appear on the show to scream "good show!"

[DM] house is damn cool

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] they'd have to call it someone else's anatomy

[Sweetums (SPC)] turn up the heat then 8-)

[Arilyn (Christy)] exactly

[Kira (Beth)] It's probably one of my favorites and would be one of the few things that could convince me to fork out money for TV

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] eh, anything you can watch on tv you can watch on the internet nowadays :)

[Kira (Beth)] LOL sean!

[Arilyn (Christy)] true

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] you can watch grey's on the abc website

[Kira (Beth)] I watch movies on my pc

[Kira (Beth)] ah, I'll look for it sometime

[Kit (Molly)] well, you did.

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] just google grey's anatomy

[Kit (Molly)] before the coffee...

[Sweetums (SPC)] You might be able to rent House fromNetflix

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] you'll find it

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] ::loves his netflix::

[Kit (Molly)] ;-)

[Percival (Hans)] I've given up on 24. Not even watching it this season... Nuclear bombs in LA. Just can't get behind it.

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] pfft

[Sweetums (SPC)] Of course not, you'd be vaporized!

[Arilyn (Christy)] how many times can you bomb LA?

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] 24 hours, no sleep, no potty

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] no food

[Percival (Hans)] You obviously can't bomb it *enough*

[Kit (Molly)] you might be surprised, Christy.

[Kira (Beth)] LOL

[Kit (Molly)] SFers have been trying for years.

[Kit (Molly)] ::wink::

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] that's not a show. that's an indian trying to get in the guiness book of world records

[Sweetums (SPC)] now now ... Hollywood produces a lot of bombs each year

[Percival (Hans)] ::heh heh heh::

[Arilyn (Christy)] i can't make it through one episode without a snack or potty break, let alone 24

[Kira (Beth)] actually we rented the first season

[Arilyn (Christy)] i could get behind bombing hollywood every week

[Kira (Beth)] I just haven't had a chance to rent and watch the next ones

[Percival (Hans)] I can't even make a cellphone call in the amount of time that Jack downloads an encrypted satellite photo of a city block.

[Percival (Hans)] ON his cellphone.

[Kit (Molly)] LOL

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] lol

[Kira (Beth)] LOL

[Sweetums (SPC)] Wow! Who's his provider?

[Arilyn (Christy)] he has a killer coonection

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] I want that phone

[Kit (Molly)] you just don't have the right phone, hans!!

[Kira (Beth)] damn, yah!

[Percival (Hans)] EXACTLY, Sean.

[Arilyn (Christy)] and a killer battery on that cell phone

[Kit (Molly)] ::wink::

[Kira (Beth)] LOL

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] it might actually be able to carry a conversation that you can understand

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] and that doesn't drop you

[Sweetums (SPC)] What?

[Kira (Beth)] ::chuckles::

[Kira (Beth)] I don't have a problem

[Sweetums (SPC)] I ink ou ar br kin up

[Kira (Beth)] except for about 65 miles that has no towers or other way of connecting

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] I swear, using a cellphone to me is like those recordings of 911 calls you see on tv where they have to put the text on the screen for you to even know what they're saying

[Kira (Beth)] ok, I'm outta here

[Sweetums (SPC)] Good night.

[Arilyn (Christy)] bye!

[Percival (Hans)] No provider can *encrypt* satellite imagery in seconds. doesn't happen.

[DM] have a great night all

[Kit (Molly)] ::pats sweetums on the head:: that speech problem is improving loads, dear.

[Ramone (BiBo!!!!!!!!!)] nighty nite everyone

[Percival (Hans)] Bye everybody!!!!

[Kira (Beth)] I hear the shower calling me :: grins ::
