[john] I was there for that, just left before it was killed, I AssUmd they killed it
[Vicki] Hi Fritz
[Vicki] they killed it, but Tori had already been dead
[Fritz] Hello
[BOB] I am back at the keyboard.
[john] hello
[BOB] Hello gents
[BOB] how are you tonight
[john] does it matter?
[Vicki] sure it does...
[Fritz] In pain but still in positive spirits
[john] what happened to you Fritz?
[Fritz] Herniated C5,6,7 disc in my neck. Alot of pain
[john] I bet, what were you doing playing footvall?
[Fritz] Feels like someone took a large knife and stabbed me in my upper back and left it there, periodically they twist it around so I don't forget it's there, the muscles in my chest and left arm are in continous spasms, and my left index finger feels as if it is constantly in the flame of a bunsen burner...other than that I am laughing my ass off
[Fritz] I wish...Nope just something as simple as putting a helmet on my head
[BOB] brb phone
[BOB] I am away from the keyboard.
[john] I wish you a speedy recovery, I know it can not be quick enough
[Rave Starfire (Fritz) (to GM only)] ] Character sheet for Rave Starfire modified: Combat - Initiative {not sure why this is here}: (INIT) : CHANGED: -$RA (+10+$RA). Initiative (modifier): (INIT) : CHANGED: -$RA (+10+$RA).
[Vicki] I'm sorry fritz
[Vicki] sounds like you could use a nice long neck massage to relax some of the muscles in your neck
[john] I guess he is ready to kill someting, what about your Vicki
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] Nope...had 2 trigger point injections- didn't work. Today had an epidural...hasn't worked yet. I refuse to take strong narcotics for the pain, so I basically live with pain that would have others housebound but work anyway
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] A BJ would be nice to Vicki
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] But then again...a BJ makes everything feel better
[Vicki] LOL... that, my dear friend, you'd have to talk to your wife about
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] I have....Let's get this game overwith so I can start feeling better
[Vicki] LOL
[john] I have to draw the line somewhere, moving on
[Vicki] someone remind me again of the current year...
[john] Vicki, how is your new character developing
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] I had planned on visiting Bob snf John this weekend but postponed it because of pain.
[john] do you have one for today
[Vicki] just started developing 30 mins ago
[Vicki] playing an NPC for a while
[john] so the NPC is ready?
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] Should be perfect for Bob's game then...LOL
[Vicki] ask Bob
[Vicki] btw... what year are we in?
[Vicki] 1259?
[BOB] yes to Vikci
[BOB] and sorry everyone setting up Sean here
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] Eh all the bugs will be revealed in moments of crisis...Haven't you realized yet your brother is like a "Microsoft Product"? The perfect version that will work flawlessly is out, but has so many bugs in it that you don't realize it till you start to use it..
[BOB] will be ready to start with everyone very soon
[BOB] I am back at the keyboard.
[BOB] I am away from the keyboard.
[Vicki] thus, there will never be a "perfect" version, Fritz
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] Wish your brother was more like a Mac...Works well all the time, just never used....wait...that was what he was like before he met Nyrma!!!
[Vicki] machines are like humans... imperfect
[john] or perfectly imperfect
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] Machines are perfect...they are just created by imperfect beings
[Vicki] lol
[Vicki] so, how many days have we been underground now?
[john] don't ask me, what about your character
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] 3 I believe
[Vicki] Tori's been dead a day now I believe
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] Yea John is correct. As one of the dwarves you have access to the "Moonstone" so you can tell us how long we have been here.
[john] i was saying lets work on something useful, like the new character
[Vicki] well, at the moment, I haven't taken on that character and am working on sheet for the human
[john] the NPC is realy temp
[Vicki] ok...
[john] ok so Human, fighter?
[Vicki] yep
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] Well the PC wont be used until we go to the surface anyway
[john] do you want a smart fighter or a dumb fighter?
[Vicki] dice have been rolled
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] what are they?
[john] not sure about that Fritz, the way he talked about Guy's character
[john] but a few weeks for sure
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] really cool
[Vicki] but she/he only has the base right now and currently making adjustments
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] Maybe in Kazefryn
[Vicki] base was 17, 16, 14, 14, 14, 11
[john] good
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] very good
[Vicki] that's in order from highest to lowest
[john] do you get to use the d4?
[Vicki] not necessarily in the order on the sheet
[Vicki] yep
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] brb
[Vicki] I rolled a 2 for the d4
[Fritz] I am away from the keyboard.
[Vicki] and my STR is being adjusted right now
[john] so you want to take the 14 to 12 and the other 14 to 16 or take the 16 to 18?
[Vicki] not sure yet what I'm doing
[Vicki] I'm as confused as I was when I created Tori
[Vicki] was told to take STR (17) to 18 and roll the % to see what I'm taking away from
[john] you have three physical stats, Str Dex and Con, all are important for every chaacter but especial for a fighter
[BOB] ok back and caught up
[BOB] and now running away again, so sorry
[BOB] I am back at the keyboard.
Kaz] has joined the game on Fri Jan 30 19:24:27 EST 2009

Kaz] has received the map Base Map DDD.
[Vicki] str (17) dex (14) con (16)
[Vicki] hi Kaz
[john] you should keep the 17 and change the 16 or 14
[Fritz] I am back at the keyboard.
[Vicki] Wis and Int are also 14 and Chr is 11
[Vicki] that's the base for what's there
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] I would agree with John as AC seems to be more important than overall HP's in Bob's world
[Kaz] Hi everyone
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] Hiya Kazaroony
[john] THACO but it's ok
[john] AC is Dex
[Vicki] dammit bob... I got so many questions and you keep runnin... slow down a hair and maybe we'll actually keep you still long enough to get answers... lol
[Vicki] well
[Vicki] she'd have to be really strong to pull off what she's gonna do
[Vicki] which is why her STR is so high
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] So as John is suggesting 17 Str, 14 Int, 14 wis, 16 Dex, 14 Con, 11 Cha correct?
[BOB] I am away from the keyboard.
[BOB] I am back at the keyboard.
[BOB] ok, pizza is here being eaten, tea is brewing
[BOB] if you have not read Sean's latest blog you should
[Vicki] dex and con is different than what bob says... lol
[BOB] I said higher Con then Dex
[Vicki] Sorry Sean, haven't had time... barely have been able to sit today until an hour ago
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] Don't pay attention to Bob...he doesn't PLAY in his game, he just runs them
[BOB] He is still getted worked up
[BOB] but will be in
[Vicki] doesn't mean he won't be able to read it bob
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] John what stat do you think she should increase and which should she decrease?
[BOB] Rave and Paul are on the right map now also
Fritz] is receiving the map Open Caverns...
Fritz] has received the map Open Caverns.
[Vicki] I think I should figure out what I'm doing before I decide what to do
[Vicki] sheesh
[Vicki] I'm still confused and making suggestions at this point is even more confusing
[Vicki] brb
[BOB] it is your character Vicki, take it slow one step at a time
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] what are you confused about?
[john] Idealy I would say 18 str and 17 con
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] But most importantly DON'T LISTEN TO ANY ADVICE BOB GIVES YOU!!!!!!!
[john] do the OPPOSITE of what BOB says
Kaz] is receiving the map Open Caverns...
Kaz] has received the map Open Caverns.
[Vicki] ok, so as a fighter my STR should be 11? cuz that's opposite what bob says?

[Kaz] Hi Sean
[john] that could work but it may not be your style
[Kaz] If you guys are going to work on Vicki's new character for a few, I am going to go make some tea
[Kaz] and pop a few tylenol
[john] we are just waiting for BOB
[john] keeping busy
[Kaz] I am away from the keyboard.
[john] as always
[Vicki] lol
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] I think given the possibilities with tweaking that strength isn't an issue so leave it at 16 base and alter it based on Skills and Powers. I would put the 2 points in Dex because not getting hit could save you more HP's per round of attack than you get per level with an increase in Con, but at least make it a 14 and boost it to a higher number based on S&P.
[BOB] I am back and ready
[Vicki] I was just being a smart aleck since you two said I should do exactly OPPOSITE of what bob tells me... lol
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] Also you get bonuses with missle weapons that can be utilyzed with strength bonus as well
SeldomSeen] has left the game on Fri Jan 30 19:33:09 EST 2009
[john] But what kind of charater do you want
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] That is really the KEY question
[john] it won;t exactly be a misfit with a 18 str and 17 dex or con
[john] you can but it seems a little funny
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] It won't be a misfit given any one of those stats
[BOB] it is all in how you play it
[BOB] a mistfit fighter
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] Do you want to play it stupid, average, or smart?
[BOB] 18 00% strength who is afraid of the sight of blood
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] Do you want it to be like one of Bob

[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] NPC's
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] or something we wont' want dead in 5 min
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] (hint hint)
[BOB] soon as Kaz is back
[Vicki] lol
[john] I would not call that a misfit, BOB, just a character flaw
[Vicki] I already played a character some wanted dead before she was completely created
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] Misfit's have a tendency NOT to fit in very well....True Bob is infact himself a major character flaw
[john] in this game?
[Vicki] but I want a fighter now that can be passed off as a man even though she's a woman... sort of like Mulan ;)
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] A Dike?
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] Why?
SeldomSeen] has left the game on Fri Jan 30 19:36:41 EST 2009
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] What are you trying to gain by the deception?
[john] Ok, then Str would not be your highest stat in my thinking
[Vicki] LOL... leave it to you to think of it that way... you may as well go feel better so you can concentrate on the game... LOL
[Vicki] why?
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] It doesn't play well in the game...trust me I know about that kind of thing
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] He is correct
[Vicki] She needs to be strong enough to pass off as a male
[john] women are not normaly as strong as men and you have her stronger then almost all men
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] A female pretending to be a male is someone much smarter than the average male
[Vicki] Tori was exceptionally strong
[john] exactly what I was thinking, she needs to be smart
[Vicki] ok ok
[john] she was not human
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] She was a half orc playing a half orc
[Vicki] ok
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] Strength is their fortey
[Vicki] so... her str should be 16 or 14?
[john] I am not saying women can not have 18 str, it is just mixing the stats with the character
[Kaz] I am back at the keyboard.
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] No first picture what you want first in the entire character and how she will fit in with the group
[Kaz] back, sorry for the wait
[john] we did not wait, sorry
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] Don't just focus on one aspect and go from there
[Vicki] then creating the character will have to wait
[Kaz] As I was coming back from the kitchen, a snail passed me and cursed me out
[john] still talking ;)
[Kaz] Aww, John, are you trying to say no one missed me? Why, you flatterer!! *flutter eyelashes*
[john] but do you understand what we are saying?, before we move on
[Vicki] I know she's gonna come from Rivertown and know Rave, once more...
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] A woman dressed as a man isn't a character that is a character flaw...a woman dressed as a man trying to fit in a man's world because she is the only child of a warrior in a warrior driven society trying to prove she is equal to a man is a charactter
[john] you could be Paul's ex wife?
[Vicki] in Rivertown?
[Vicki] at 16?
[Vicki] or 17... not sure what I did my math at
[john] maybe, sure, possible, I think
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] Paul is a PLAYA!!! Don't be a hatah!!!!
[BOB] would not know Rave necsiarry
[Vicki] Paul was resurrected as a man, and was a woman...
[BOB] Rivertown adn Rave are both things that would preclude a quick re-entry intot he game
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] No one knows me but Sebrina...You may know OF me, but you wont know me

[BOB] grins
[Vicki] *sigh*
[Vicki] I got a headache... had one all day...
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] again go back to the definition of what a "Character" is
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] A woman dressed as a man isn't a character that is a character flaw...a woman dressed as a man trying to fit in a man's world because she is the only child of a warrior in a warrior driven society trying to prove she is equal to a man is a charactter
[Vicki] and I need to think on this some more...

[BOB] getting to the shore of the starless lake
[BOB] ] The edge of the lake has a small dock made of stone. There are several small flat bottomed boats tied up at the dock.
[Naola (BOB)] looks at the group

[Naola (BOB)] if you have metal on and you go into the lake, you will drown
[john] well, unless you can breather underwater
[Naola (BOB)] if you have any gems or precious metals on you you will attrack attention
[john] but please go on
[Naola (BOB)] and you might get pulled into the lake
[Naola (BOB)] listen to the boatseller
[john] they can smell it?
SeldomSeen] has left the game on Fri Jan 30 19:49:24 EST 2009
[Naola (BOB)] and we will see how far we get
[Lorie] Okay...
[Lorie] HELLO EVERYONE :O)
[Lorie] Go Steelers!!!!!!
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] Can they smell things in extra dimensional spaces?
[Lorie] :: flexes :: Kylia has 18/00 what you got playa? [Rave Starfire (Fritz)] GO STEELERS!!!!
[john] and if we get 1/2 way across
[Lorie] Sorry to hear about your back Fritz... that crap sucks more than I can tell you
[john] and Kylia is no misfit
[Lorie] Kyila is her own sort of misfit
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] Yea...thanks
[Naola (BOB)] I do not know about other spaces
[Lorie] there's a reason she doesn't live in MacTyr
[Lorie] But... call her that to her face... try it
[Lorie] She dares you
[Lorie] Vicki... you want a character that doesn't have a defined gender?
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] I never heard of anything being able to sniff gems and pressious metals from extra dimensional spaces
[Lorie] Androgany is interesting... but why?
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] ((Yea she is a Michael Jackson fan))
[Lorie] what drives her to want to be neither male or female at the same time ?
[Lorie] do you want another fighter? do you want to branch out a bit ?
[Lorie] You'll need some Charisma me thinks to pull that off full time
[Lorie (to Kaz only)] ** HUGS **
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] Speaking of branching that is a great idea Lorie....How about a ranger...an intelligent fighter.
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] Think about it for next time Vicki
[Lorie] What did you LIKE about Tori (put aside how anyone else felt in the group... focus on your thoughts here)
[Lorie] What did you DISLIKE? What were the things that you saw that others could do that you couldn't?

[cloaked figure (BOB)] Hello travellers, you want to cross the Starless Lake?
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] I think that if anyone has any gold or jewels we should put them in the portable hole or the scroll immediately before we take off. Then make sure we of course close both before we venture out
[john] (arn't we looking for a cloaked figure?)
[Lorie] ((we're in the underdark...it's like being in Miami and asking for a Cuban))

[Paul Elvenstire (john)] Yes we are looking to cross
[cloaked figure (BOB)] looks at your group
[cloaked figure (BOB)] a large party
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] ((I stay invisible and just observe what is going on...looking over the boats, looking around, investigating things to report back to Kylia and Paul when the time comes))
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] how far across is the lake?

Vicki] has received the map Open Caverns.
[cloaked figure (BOB)] it should take you a few hours to cross if you are careful
[cloaked figure (BOB)] and forever if you are not
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] (are these like canoes?
[cloaked figure (BOB) (to Fritz only)] looks like the figure might be a mongrelman, but the legs are weird
[cloaked figure (BOB)] they are wide shallow flat bottom boats
[cloaked figure (BOB)] wide enough to sit in the middle and not hang over the edge
[cloaked figure (BOB)] long enough for 4 people
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] (verry little sides?)
[cloaked figure (BOB)] or 1 or 2 and a pile of goods
[cloaked figure (BOB)] short sides yes
[Rave Starfire (Fritz) (to BOB only)] turn into an invisible frog and look up his robes...don't get kinky on me either...just looking to get as much info as I can while the rest do the talking
[cloaked figure (BOB)] the lake is dark barely a ripple
[Vicki] ((Sounds more like a raft to me, a raft with sides))
[cloaked figure (BOB) (to Fritz only)] stone legs
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] can they be strapped together, at least two by two?
[cloaked figure (BOB)] I would not recomend that surface dweller
[cloaked figure (BOB)] the more of you together the more attention you will attract
[cloaked figure (BOB)] the Monster from the depths might become curious
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] so flying would be better
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] just one?
[cloaked figure (BOB)] shrugs, no one likes to take that chance
[cloaked figure (BOB)] and flying without any light would seem even more foolish
[cloaked figure (BOB)] if you take lights out on the lake you will be sure to attract attention
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] or a distraction
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] to noone inparticular "If we could float a light a way from us, we could see what what underneath"
[Naola (BOB)] how many people do you think we shoudl be going across to Khazefryn?
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] well how far past the lake is Khaz?
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] (lori never made it back in?)
[Naola (BOB)] )just told her)
[Naola (BOB)] Khazefryn is about an hour or two after the lake,
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] not hard to find?
[Naola (BOB)] most paths lead there
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] Wish one of the leaders of the DS were here
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] What do you think Kas and Vicki?

[Kaz] I am back at the keyboard.
[Tea Drinker] kLoOge hates my laptop
[Moirra (Kaz)] ((okay, don't the dwarves have to go to the city to exchange the prisoner?))
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] laptops hate Klooge
[Tea Drinker] @#$$ kLoOge
[Moirra (Kaz)] ((some of them, anyway?))
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] good point, not being here i did not think of that
[Naola (BOB)] I will go
[Vicki] brb
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] How many dwarfs are going to take care of their job, buy their own boats?
[cloaked figure (BOB)] the boats cost 5 gp each
[Lorie] ((Klooge hates you... you said bad things and now it remembers. Karma's a bitch ))
[cloaked figure (BOB)] you buy them here, you can sell them back to my cousin on the other side
[Tea Drinker] And Winblows ... how do I hate thee ... let me count the ways
[Lorie] ((Klooge sends me love letters regularly and thanks me ))
[cloaked figure (BOB)] he will pay you 2 Gp for them
[Tea Drinker] ((bully for you))
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] 10 pc, 12 dwarfs, plus 2 NPC
[Lorie] ((Klooge is secretly planning to get Mike ... but it's waiting))
[Tea Drinker] ((tell kLoOge it owes me 00))
[Tea Drinker] sigh ... it owes me $100
[Lorie] ((uh oh... did it make you buy a copy of Vista or something?
[cloaked figure (BOB)] (CLOUGHS)
[Tea Drinker] ((I'm using one of Bob's laptops that has seen better days))
[cloaked figure (BOB)] when you are on the lake you want to be careful not to go into the water
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] It is you then, BOB loves Klooge, he would mary it but it is against his religon
[Tea Drinker] IS that what happened to this laptop, Boib?
[Tea Drinker] It got too close to the lake?
[Moirra (Kaz)] Has anyone ever actually seen this Monster?
[Tea Drinker] I think Nyrma would have something to say about that
[cloaked figure (BOB)] and lived? very few
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] Hey did you all hear that Mike is going on a date with a German Game Cock?
[Lorie] ((The RenFaire crew is staying at his new place I think...right???))
[Tea Drinker] I think Bob described her as "a sexy German gypsy girl"
[Moirra (Kaz)] Have YOU seen it?
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] I say we fly out with a light and kill it
[cloaked figure (BOB)] oh no
[Vicki] ((I think Bob asked for pics))
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] ((Yea Like I said ....))
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] that should earn us a few boats
Moirra (Kaz)] looks at the cloaked figure, awaiting his answer
[cloaked figure (BOB)] you would not succeed
[cloaked figure (BOB)] I would not like you to die before you pay for your boats
[Tea Drinker] Yes, Bob did ask for pictures
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] so sure your are, hummm
[cloaked figure (BOB)] I have only seen pieces of boats dragged back
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] ((Pissed someone ask why we shouldn't get in the water?))
[cloaked figure (BOB)] everyone here has heard the screams of the dying
[Moirra (Kaz)] ((because the monster will get you))
[Moirra (Kaz)] ((or, should I say... "monster"))
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] Other then the monster, can we swin in the water?
[Tea Drinker] What happened to Lorie's pool?
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] or is the water itself dangerous?
[cloaked figure (BOB)] I would think not, most die if they go into the water
[cloaked figure (BOB)] it is not dangerous but it will change you
[Tea Drinker] it's full of dihydrogen monoxide ... in large quantities it can cause death by asphixiation
[Moirra (Kaz)] Into what?
[Naola (BOB)] I have heard stories, and the last time I was here I tested with an old axe handle
[Naola (BOB)] it coats you with a film that hardens into stone
[Tea Drinker] Axed it a question, eh?
[Naola (BOB)] solid
Moirra (Kaz)] raises an eyebrow
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] ((Death by ASS fixing?))
[Moirra (Kaz)] Fascinating
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] lake of stone skin
[Moirra (Kaz)] Water that turns you to stone.
[Naola (BOB)] I am sure it would take a while to affect you totally
[Tea Drinker] Anybody got some fritos?
[Naola (BOB)] (no one checked the site huh?)
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] I did
[Tea Drinker] I'm getting the munchies ...
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] 10+12+2
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] or the lake
[Naola (BOB)] so how many boats do you wish?
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] I read on the lake a while ago
[Tea Drinker] One per person would be a nice start.
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] Lady Kylia?
[Tea Drinker] Each one with their own rowing team
[Moirra (Kaz)] ((John did ask if the dwarves are buying their own boats))
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] ((Wait Tea Drinker...explain how one dies by ASs Fixing?))
[Lorie] 1 per person seems too many
[Tea Drinker] ((one plastic surgry too many))
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] I think I will fly that leaves 2 boats for us
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] ((Ahhh you have too many face lifts and start farting up your own nose!!!! I heard of that))
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] one boat for two NPC plus two dwarfs
[Naola (BOB)] on the way back we will purchase more boats, when we free our comrades
[Lorie] hmmm okm
[Tea Drinker] Do the boats come with large drums? Because I want large drums to keep the rowers in line
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] Do you think we should split the PC's up to better protect the group as a whole?
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] then I sugest we get 6 boats, split the cost, Lady Kyiia?
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] (yes, I was jsut counting)
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] we have enough I could ride and fly as needed
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] Ditto on the flying for me gang
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] the question is how far apart to be
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] I could keep a good eye out for trouble
[Lorie] that's fine on the 6 boats
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] 2 drafs and a Ds per boat
[Naola (BOB)] Naola pays over the 30 gp
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] would a tow line between them still attract attention?
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] 3 dwarf with the prisoner
[Tea Drinker] Where does one get a 40hp engine around here?
[Naola (BOB)] I think that keeping us tied together would be a bad thing
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] ((Pshaw..go for an Evinrude 350))
[cloaked figure (BOB)] shrugs, the farther apart the better, less chance of being swamped
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] tied close yes but what about tied far apart?
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] Rave, what do you think about a little recon?
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] or my floating light idea?
[Tea Drinker] GPS anyone?
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] Sure...I can recon ahead and I can even float light ahead of us or even away from us to distract if you wish
[Lorie] ((We need to be careful about letting Rave get that far away from the party ... he's had some "issues" so far in this encounter doing that))
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] not as I wish but as the party wishes
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] I can float light a distance away from us to attract anything away from us if you wish. then we can try and move on
[Tea Drinker] I say go in being as obnoxious as possible, being loud and demanding ... you know, like Americans visiting Paris.
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] do not keep it constant, it will most likely learn
[Tea Drinker] Annoy everyone on tghe say down,.
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] I can either play worm on a line, or send it off and hope it does the trick. Which ever is best for the group
[Lorie] ((But but but... Mike's not here tonight, isn't that going to be rough))
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] who is DeadSean playing?
[Lorie] ((We really need Antarias for the rude feeling to have meaning ))
[cloaked figure (BOB)] so
[cloaked figure (BOB)] boats 1 2 3 4 5 6
[cloaked figure (BOB)] who is in each boat
Moirra (Kaz)] goes where she is told.
[Tea Drinker] I'm playing Noah Body right now.
[Tea Drinker] "Everybody, into the ark!"
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] i will have a space in boat 4, but will be flying over it slightly, 5-10 feet
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] I can cast dancing lights for 16 rounds...I can either do it away from us, have it trail behind or infront of us, parrellel us or if you wish I can take it off on my own and hope I attract whatever is out there giving you all a better chance to make it safely to the other side?
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] fin and ant and two full dwarfs in boat one?
[Naola (BOB)] ok
[Naola (BOB)] I will go with the two sunlighters
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] If we bought extra boats, I can also cast an illusion on the boats and use that in conjunction with the dancing lights to make a distraction. I am willing to do what ever is best for the party
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] anybody?
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] You mean 2 half dwarfs dont you Paul?
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] now Ant is 1/2 dwarf
[Lorie] (should we break up the people who aren't here with people who are somehow so their boats don't just sink??))
[Naola (BOB)] I will take one of my people with me, I have no issues
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] (I guess, it would be fair, where do you want to be and with who?)
[Lorie] ((I'd prefer to be in the 2nd boat and no preference with whom))
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] (I want Arilyn in my boat)
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] so you take fin
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] How many boats will we have altogether?
[Tea Drinker] I am away from the keyboard.
[Naola (BOB)] you bought 6 so far
[Naola (BOB)] he will sell you two more if you want them
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] ant and kaz in boat #1 with two dwarfs?
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] vickie, you are a dwaf so you could be in any one?
[BOB] (which boat for Chohen? which one for the prisonor?)
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] ((whispers to the PC's individually...Hey I think what he is saying about the water and being turned to stone is real...His legs are both stone))
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] ((probably from spray from the water or walking in it, is my guess)
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] (think stone to fleash will work?)
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] i am working up a cheat sheet in Word
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] ((The Great Mage Rave Starfire looks over at Paul Elvenstire with a look of disgust....invisible of course...as if he should know the answer to that question))
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] ((hehhehehe))
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] I think 2 dwarfs each boat chen and prisoner in 5, anybody care?
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] it is only part of him, never saw half a statue
[BOB] (I am letting you set it up, then will move forward)
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] do you wish me to lead out front, follow along the side, or trail behind?))
[Lorie] ((Fritz, please RP as you would...I'm just expressing concern that Rave has become the roving target dummy...so no preference on where you are))
Moirra (Kaz)] whispers to Rave,"If we can help him by curing his legs, shouldn't we be doing so?"
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] I doubt we will be static but I would think to the side, boat three ish
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] ((Actually Lorie I am...I am. Part of my character is to be willing to sacrifice himself for the group...within reason...so I am asking how you all think it should be handled. I describe what I can do and what our options are but leave it to the conscensus to decide the best outcome for everyone...))
[Lorie] ((I'm nervous about "the sea monsters or whatever is in the water" and potential to splash up while you're flying and "THUNK" Rave is at the bottom of the lake ... so you might be good slightly in front, but probably not too far out))
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] whispers back to Moirra..."Yes why don't you ask him if he feels that some aid may be given to his legs that seem to be encased by the sideeffects of the water...it isn't my place trying to stay hidden as I am for the time being"
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)]
Moirra (Kaz)] quietly approaches the cloaked figure and addresses him in a low voice.
[Moirra (Kaz)] Sir, you appear to have been affected by the lake, yourself. If you wish, I believe we may be able to aid you in fixing that.
[Moirra (Kaz)] I mean no offence by speaking with you of it.
[cloaked figure (BOB)] I thank you for the thought, but I would only grow this way again
[cloaked figure (BOB)] I have accepted my lot in life
Moirra (Kaz)] nods slowly.
[Tea Drinker] I am back at the keyboard.
[Moirra (Kaz)] I understand.
Moirra (Kaz)] smiles tentatively, then moves back to the group, deep in thought.
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] Ok...I suggest this then...purchase a couple of more boats. Let me cast the illusion of dwarves on them and have them make a "little" bit more noise than the party is currently making as a whole. I will tow it in front from on high. I will also use my dancing lights spell to illuminate the way for those boats. I will do it in front and off to the side of the party. That way if I am attacked you will have time to react to any future danger as well as see it occuring. I will also be high enough away and invisibile so as not to be the target of the attack
[Tea Drinker] ((I guess his lot in life is to be stoned?))
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] ok, I have two dwarfs in each of 6 boats
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] Anteria and Moia in boat 1
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] fin and kylia in boat 2
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] Sabrina and space for Rave in 3
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] Arylin and Paul in 4, but Paul is flying
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] choen and prisnor in 5
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] and Pery and Kira in 6, just not enough here to fill all the boats
[cloaked figure (BOB)] I would suggest you keep your gems and gold hidden, any rings you have might attract danger
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] which mean if a boat is attacked we will be on our own, except with the flying help
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] WE can keep them in the portable hole for now if it is easier
[cloaked figure (BOB)] I also suggest tossing in 1 gem per passenger when you are crossing, just toss them into the water, it might distract them
[Tea Drinker] What? There are bankers in the lake?
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] Then I will have to fly higher, because I can not take off my ring
[Tea Drinker] Wall Street boys?
[cloaked figure (BOB)] (you can add dwarves if you want john)
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] Is gloves covering the rings sufficient to "conceal" the rings
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] I did two per boat
[cloaked figure (BOB)] I know not
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] I will poly morh so I do not have any rings visible
[cloaked figure (BOB)] stay to the left
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] just my sword
[cloaked figure (BOB)] follow along the edge of the cavern and you will not get lost
[Tea Drinker] Perhaps we can conjure up an image of Liberace to float ahead of us ...
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] ((I will do the same John))
[Tea Drinker] see what that does ...
[cloaked figure (BOB)] there are only two openings to cross, then you will go down the third one
[Tea Drinker] Or Mr. T. That would work too.
[Moirra (Kaz)] ((OMG Sean... now I'm blinded!))
[cloaked figure (BOB)] that river will take you to my cousins docks
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] where do the other paths go?
[cloaked figure (BOB)] they are rivers that flow into the lake
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] And each person in the boats have one gem handy .... or I can make sure I have alot handy to dump into a spot if needs be?
[cloaked figure (BOB)] as long as you keep rowing you should be able to get across the currents easily enough
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] stay to the left take the third left, seems easy
[Naola (BOB)] this is dangerous, don't get cocky sunlighter
[Naola (BOB)] when I have passed here before we followed instructions carefully and still had problems
[Moirra (Kaz)] I believe Naola, that he was referring merely to thedirections, not to the ease of the crossing.
[BOB] ] Naola moved 155'02".
[BOB] ] Chohen moved 227'05".
[BOB] ] Rave Starfire moved 167'05".
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] Ok before we head out...the "gem" issue needs to be addressed..they both attract and at the same time can be a distraction
[BOB] ] Paul Elvenstire moved 186'09".
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] thanks Moirria
[BOB] Drow Prisoner targets Rave Starfire. Distance: 4'00"
[BOB] Drow Prisoner no longer targets Rave Starfire.
[BOB] ] Drow Prisoner moved 203'01".
[BOB] ] Grixis Venjant moved 172'11".
[BOB] ] Moirra moved 215'01".
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] as can light
[BOB] ] Kylia Wolfslayer moved 183'08".
[BOB] ] Kylia Wolfslayer moved 9'01".
[Naola (BOB)] is that the right order john? from left to right?
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] Should we make sure everyone has a gem, or that I fly above with the gems in the bag of holding and dump them to attract/distract any major monster threat
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] torchelet me zoom
Tea Drinker] is receiving the map Open Caverns...
Tea Drinker] has received the map Open Caverns.
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] Are we using my idea for the secondary distracttion or not?
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] Bob is giving us alot of chance to get this right but we arent' making any definites
[Lorie] my thinking would be to save that spell... but what do you the rest of you think?
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] or get this wrong I should say
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] ] Moirra moved 46'08".
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] ] Kylia Wolfslayer moved 78'02".
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] ] Rave Starfire moved 34'06".
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] ] Paul Elvenstire moved 20'10".
[Moirra (Kaz)] ((Why not both plans? Each person have a gem, just in case, but also have Rave with a bunch he can drop, in case the other doesn't work.))
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] What would we be saving it for? I fear that if it is on us it will be to late. The best thing would be to make sure it doesn't get us
[Tea Drinker] Blunder in making a ton of noise and really stupid moves. Keep them guessing, as anyone that would do that is either very stupid, or very strong.
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] Ok Moirra.
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] ] Chohen moved 52'02".
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] We can have both set up.
[BOB] Drow Prisoner targets Chohen. Distance: 5'00"
[BOB] ] Drow Prisoner moved 31'03".
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] ] Naola moved 34'09".
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] ] Grixis Venjant moved 86'07".
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] ((We can't afford to be stupid or strong...we dont know how smart or how much stronger the monster is sean))
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] still not sure where vici's dwarf is
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] I guess boat 6 if we want 1 pc on a boat
[Vicki] ((I'd lean more towards Sean's plan if Tori wasn't already dead, LOL))
[Moirra (Kaz)] ((Too bad Valgar already bought the farm. He'd come in handy, here.))
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] (BOB planing this out on boats)
[Tea Drinker] But then again, I was responsible for Pradis ...
[Tea Drinker] (oh wait, different game)
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] (or I would go monster hunting myself)
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] ((Realize this "monster" seems to have this place almost paralyzed with fear. We need a good plan))
[Naola (BOB)] Note: next time in teh underdark bring more crazy PCs willing to die
[Tea Drinker] Liberace in front of us ...
[Moirra (Kaz)] ((hehe))
[Tea Drinker] or Mr. T.
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] ((Note we have 10...why do you need more?))
[BOB] ok
[BOB] so movign forward,
[BOB] any last requests?
[Rave Starfire (Fritz) (to BOB only)] clarification
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] how long will a torch last again?
[Moirra (Kaz)] ))is it too late to write my will?((
[Tea Drinker] Yes, a nice steak dinner. Blue cheese on top, wiht a fully loaded baked potato and french style green beans
[BOB] torches last a half hour or so
[BOB (to Fritz only)] yes?
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] so make sure each boat has enough torches to make it across, No light rocks unless we need them
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] We can follow the light a head, we do not need to be to close, unless it is foggy
[BOB] why torches? just follow the left wall, no lights needed
[Tea Drinker] Geeze people, this is the underdark. Get a100,000 candle light and blind the suckers
[Vicki] ((LOL Sean))
[Naola (BOB)] we are goign with the current
[Naola (BOB)] so will be harder on the way back
[Vicki] ((Bob, do you mean to say that Tori and Valgar weren't enough crazy people willing to die?))
[BOB] ok, so moving out
[Tea Drinker] Are you tring to force the party, Bob?
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] I am flying NOT in a boat
[Tea Drinker] You know it'll move when the party is good and ready and not a minute sooner.
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] I need some light to see
[Tea Drinker] Be it a short five hours, or a long five months ...
[BOB] as he pushes the boats off, he has to walk into the water, and you can see his legs do not bend, but he pushes each boat off the dock and along the way
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] Whispers in the dark..."Rock on Mongrelman, Rock on"
[Tea Drinker] So Charon is shoving us on our way, eh?
[BOB] as you slowly move along
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] Yea Charon Stone
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] you expect us to sit blind in a few hours
[BOB] (1d100) [1d100=32] 32 you dsee
[Tea Drinker] 32hours?
[Tea Drinker] and you laptop keyboard sucks, Bob.
[BOB] the first couple of turns go by
[Tea Drinker] Can't keep upwith my ttping.
[BOB] then the first break appears
[BOB] it is a slow moving river
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] ((It's the peanut butter you have still stuck to your fingers Sean...admit it))
[Tea Drinker] you got me Fritz ...
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] ((Pass the salmonella please))
[BOB] Naola looks back, calls across the water to the other boats, "Paddle harder just before you enter the current, "
[Tea Drinker] I just find it easier to eat peanut butter with the hands
[BOB] and the first boat (1d100) [1d100=91] 91
[BOB] makes it across with no issues
[Tea Drinker] (d4) [1d4=1] 1
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] ] Rave Starfire: Observation check: (d20) [1d20=7] 7 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 16!!
[BOB] then the next boat (1d100) [1d100=30] 30
[Tea Drinker] (d-2) [1d0.0=] -1
[BOB] makes it with no isues
[BOB] (1d100) [1d100=69] 69
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] I am extra vigilant Bob
[Tea Drinker] (d3.1415926) [1d3.1415926=3] 3
[BOB] (1d100) [1d100=61] 61
[BOB] (1d100) [1d100=8] 8
[BOB] the fifth boat
[BOB] (John who is in there?)
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] Jesus
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] choen, prisnor and 2 dwarfs
[Vicki] ((Sean, why did you try rolling the die of pi?))
[BOB] gets pulling into the current
[BOB] those with Ultravision can see it drifting out into the lake
[Tea Drinker] ((trying to see if kLoOge would crash ... it used to when I did that stuff))
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] ] Rave Starfire casts a spell against : Ring of Telekinesis: Range 320 yards. A sustained force enables me to move a weight of 800 pounds a distance of 20 feet per round. Alternatively, the spell energy can be expended in a single round. The caster can hurl one or more objects within range, and within a 10-foot cube, directly away from himself at high speed, to a distance of up to 320 feet. This is subject to a maximum weight of 800 lbs. Damage caused by hurled objects is decided by the DM, but cannot exceed 32 points of damage. Opponents who fall within the weight capacity of the spell can be hurled, but they are allowed a saving throw vs. spell to avoid the effect. Furthermore, those able to employ as simple a counter-measure as an enlarge spell, for example (thus making the body weight go over the maximum spell limit), can easily counter the spell. The various Bigby's hand spells also counter this spell.
[BOB] those without have no clue
[Tea Drinker] ((seems like Kurris has fixed things))
[BOB] does not work Frtiz, the boat alone weighs a lot
[BOB] plus the now stone paddles
[BOB] and 4 occupants
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] IN the imortal words of the yellow serpent dead guy in Mortal Combat "Come Here"
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] Does it weigh MORE than 800 lbs?
[BOB] stone boat ? I would think so
[Tea Drinker] Next time, give them the ring of lightening.
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] Or is the force pulling it out to the water 800 lbs? That is really all I need to overcome
[Tea Drinker] oh wait .. it was the WAND of lightening.
[Tea Drinker] You guys still have that in the party pack,right?
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] I don't need to LIFT it
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] Just pull it
[BOB] the combo would be too much for pulling it out totally, but you can help push it guide it
[BOB] as you are doing that
[BOB] (1d100) [1d100=95] 95
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] Back to the group is what I will try to do
[BOB] boat 6 makes it across
[BOB] so after a bit boat 5 makes it back into sight
[BOB] (1d100) [1d100=21] 21
[Tea Drinker] I'm telling you people, check the party pack for the wand of lightening.
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] ((We traded it for the wand of Lighting))
[Tea Drinker] sheesh, do I haveto solve all your pbloems?
[BOB] there are some ripples out on the lake
[BOB] but nothing comes closer that you can see
[BOB] then the next opening appears many turns later
[BOB] Naola looks back, this one is worse, try not to get lost
[Vicki] ((holy cow... when I first read the "there are some ripples out on the lake..." ripples didn't look like Ripples... LOL))
[BOB] Boat 1 (1d100) [1d100=91] 91
[BOB] and crosses easily
[BOB] boat 2 (1d100) [1d100=27] 27
[BOB] spins out of control and out into the lake
[BOB] boat 3 (1d100) [1d100=92] 92
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] Crap everyone else wait a bit
[BOB] makes it across
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] I go to fetch Boat 2
[BOB] are you calling out ?
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] Yes
[BOB] ok
[BOB] who is in boat 4 John?
[Moirra (Kaz)] ((Are you crazy?))
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] (come here, kill me)
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] I won't be able to save more than one at a time....If I didn't then we would lose people for sure
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] me and arylin and two dwarfs
[BOB] fritz make an observation check
[BOB] and Paul you make one too
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] If more than one boat went out there I couldn't get them all back in time. This way I have a chance to at least keep the party together. I know it was a risk
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] ] Paul Elvenstire: Alertness check: (d20) [1d20=14] 14 - ROLL FAILED against 13!!
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] ] Rave Starfire: Observation check: (d20) [1d20=14] 14 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 16!!
[Tea Drinker] So, is the person with the scroll of shelter near the wall of the cave? If so, you can open said scroll, and pull out the wand of lightening and use it.
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] make sence while i cannot see
[Tea Drinker] (And no, it doesn't make for a hot time or brighten things up)
[BOB] ok, so the boat with Paul and crew suddenly feels a wave hit the boat, make a Dex check to stay in the boat
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] ((Sean we exchanged it for the Wand of Lighting))
[BOB] Rave sees there is a boat coming towards you from the opposite side of the lake
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] ] Paul Elvenstire: BAL check: (d20) [1d20=11] 11 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 12!!
[BOB] has a small sail and two or three small figures in the rigging
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] I still have wings
[Tea Drinker] Really?
[BOB] Monster from the Depths #2 targets Paul Elvenstire. Distance: 47'00"
[Tea Drinker] Well .. that sucks.
[Tea Drinker] Do you guys still have the pinata gollum?
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] ((You are Paul Elvenstire... Not Paul Macartney
[BOB] ] Monster from the Depths #2: Attack: Tentacle: (13-(d20+0)) [1d20=6] 7. Probably MISSES Paul Elvenstire (AC FINAL: 1).
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] ;)
[Tea Drinker] Or the Ring of Night?
[BOB] you can try to attack the tentacle that comes over the edge of the boat
[BOB] or do what ever you want
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] ((Changed it for the Ring of Nightlight))
[BOB] Boat 5 tries to hold steady
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] as long as it goes, I let it go
[BOB] it seems to be flailing to attack you
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] It is attacking you paul...do we roll initiative?
[BOB] no need
[BOB] Rave has his own issues otu there
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] ok called shot
[BOB] what are you doing about that small boat?
[BOB] and the boat 3?
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] So I can't take part in this attack is that what you are saying Bob?
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] ] Paul Elvenstire: Attack: Scimitar +5 vs Spirits: ((11-(d20+0))-5) [1d20=4] 2 [ROLL WAS MODIFIED]
[BOB] go for it Paul
[BOB] you can Rave, but then you hae to abandon boat 3
[john] Paul Elvenstire targets Monster from the Depths #2. Distance: 47'00"
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] ] Paul Elvenstire: Attack: Scimitar +5 vs Spirits: ((11-(d20+0))-5) [1d20=2] 4 [ROLL WAS MODIFIED]. PROBABLY HITS Monster from the Depths #2 (AC FINAL: 4)!!!
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] Boat 3 is safe isn't it?
[BOB] no, you were working on towing it back in place it was caught up in the currents and you went after it
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] - 4 if it still hits?
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] I thought we were past that already
[BOB] miss with the -4
[BOB] that was the first opening Fritz, this is the secon one
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] You said several turns went by. They didn't wait for us to catch up?
[BOB] you went out to rescue boat 3
[BOB] and saw that other boat coming at you
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] How long did that take?
[BOB] is happening right now
[BOB] same time that boat 4 is beign attacked
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] this is the second opening, the second time a boat went into the lake
[Vicki] brb
[Drow Prisoner (BOB)] throw the damn gems IDIOT
[Drow Prisoner (BOB)] and chohen toses a handful of gems into the water
[Tea Drinker] wow ... major clue-by-four from Bob.
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] there are some ripples out on the lake [BOB] but nothing comes closer that you can see [BOB] then the next opening appears many turns later
[BOB] then the crossing of that next opening Fritz
[BOB] boat 1 made it boat 2 made it boat 3 got scrambled boat 4 got attack
[BOB] boat 5 is now throwing gems
[BOB] what is Rave doing?
[BOB] what is Paul doing?
[Rave Starfire (Fritz) (to BOB only)] Next time make it clearer what is going on please.
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] so I can go again?
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] I dunno, I am still confused on time
[BOB] yes to Paul
[BOB] you are trying to save boat 3, and you see the other boat coming across the lake towards you
[BOB] Rave
[BOB] who else is in boat 3?
[Tea Drinker] ((flashing lights start)_
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] Is that many turns AFTER we past the first river or right away?
[Tea Drinker] ((tech starts playing)
[Moirra (Kaz) (to Fritz only)] When we passed the first opening, one of the boats started drifting out, and you saved them. Many turns later, we got to opening 2, which is where we are now.
[BOB] many turns after the first river
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] I take out a coutinual light rock and throw it out to my right, as far as i can
[Tea Drinker] ((smart drinks are being served))
[Tea Drinker] ((a bunch of 16 years old on X start dancing madly))
[Tea Drinker] ((although the concept of a rave here in a cave is a bit odd, Bob))
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] So during that time we never had the chance to catch up and the other boats didn't think it would be smart to wait for us to catch up but keep separated? Doesn't make sense to me.
[BOB] all of the boats see a shooting star go arching into the air, then pummet into the water
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] two dwarfs and sabrina
[BOB] you were always a bit seperated Fritz
[BOB] and as soon as boat 3 went out into the lake you went after it
[BOB] and boat 4 made it, boat 5 did not try to make it
[BOB] or boat 6
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] Sorry. It was my fault to assume that after many turns we would have caught back up to them or they would have waited for us. So how far away from them am I ?
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] fritz, it is just a little off course, the enemy boat is more of concern
[BOB] which boat?
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] Both the enemy boat, and our group
[BOB] you can not see the rest of the group
[BOB] you can see both your boat 3
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] I think for the most part we are together , excoet for the one that was pushed by the river
[BOB] and the enemy boat
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] No we aren't John
[BOB] you are Frtiz, you have boats 1 and 2 that made the crossing
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] Ok so how far is the enemy boat from us and from Johns boat?
[BOB] boat 3 failed
[Moirra (Kaz)] /ritz you didn't fall behind, we were all together. But at the second opening, boat 3 spun out onto the lake, and you wen tafter them.
[BOB] boat 4 just finished crossing and the rest are waiting
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] thats the cracker
[Rave Starfire (Fritz) (to Kaz only)] no boat 3 did that at the first opening
[BOB] and again at the second crossing fritz
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] before the second crossing we were mostly back together again?
[BOB] yes
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] So is that Johns boat that is boat 3 or the prisoner boat?
[Moirra (Kaz) (to Fritz only)] No, at the first opening it was boat 5 that drifted away
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] I am really boat confused
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] so boat 5 is ok.
[BOB] as of right now yes
[BOB] they threw their gems into the water
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] Only Johns boat is in trouble?
[BOB] and the other one that is out on the lake now
[BOB] that you were supposed to be saving
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] that is boat 5
[BOB] that the enemey boat is getting there
[BOB] ] Rave Starfire moved 30'07".
[BOB] ] Kylia Wolfslayer, Moirra and Naola moved 28'09".
[BOB] ] Rave Starfire moved 12'10".
[BOB] does that help? Rave is out on the lake away from everyone else but boat 3
[BOB] whcih does not have any live players in it
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] Where is boat 5?
[BOB] back at the opening
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] boat 5 is fine at this second river crossing
[BOB] are you going back to them? or to boat 4 with Paul? or saving boat 3 that is about to go under?
Lorie] is receiving the map Open Caverns...
Lorie] has received the map Open Caverns.
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] Look I know I am NOT on drugs....I don't think. Or investigate the "enemy boat"
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] the one with the Sail
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] the obversation check
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] bob was not clear but he was
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] precise?
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] I am sorry and this seems really bad. But list each boat where they are what is going on with them. And then where am I in relation to them please
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] I'll let BOB
[Moirra (Kaz)] Boats 1 and 2 crossed the second opening. Boat 3 spun out of control into the lake, you went after them.
[BOB] boat 1 crossed boat 2 crossed boat 3 swept otu into lake, you chase it see other enemy boat boat 4 makes it across and stops boat 5 stops, and throws gems boat 6 stopped
[BOB] as Rave chases boat 3 boat 4 gets attacked
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] Ahhhhh Boat 4 was attacked by the MONSTER
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] as far as anyone knows
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] who is in boat 3 and who is in boat 4
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] it may just be arylin groping me
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] I am in 4
[Moirra (Kaz)] ((LOL John!))
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] you and sabrina are in 3
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] with two red shirt dwarfs
[Lorie] no who is in boat 1
[Lorie] what's in boat 3
[BOB] swats Lorie
[Lorie] I don't know is in 2
[Moirra (Kaz)] I dont' know
[Moirra (Kaz)] lol
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] do we quote everyone and anyone?
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] Ok...Next time don't put me in a boat at all. OK. How far is enemy boat from boat 3 and does boat 4 look like everyone is going to die at the hands of the monster?
[Lorie] ll
[Tea Drinker] And Bob's playing the part of Dewey, Cheetham, and Howe.
[Lorie] ((BOB... when did Fritz commit to a boat?))
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] I never did is one reason I am confused
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] he has a place, but not sitting
[BOB] we don't know yet Fritz because we were waiting to see what you do with boat 3) Rave has a space in teh boat, but is not IN the boat
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] Don't do that.
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] he was near boat 3
[Tea Drinker] I thought he was walking on water
[Tea Drinker] (or at least light in the loafers)
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] HOw far is the enemy from boat 3
[BOB] boat 3 adn the enemy boat are getting closer
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] how close
[BOB] within a 100 feet now
[Tea Drinker] Stay on target ...
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] sci fi I understand
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] screw that...I fly over to the enemy boat pull out a flask. fly low and invisible and if it doesn't look like Pam Anderson and a group of Babes from Bay Watch they get Napalmed.
[BOB] ok
[BOB] ] Monster from the Depths #2 moved 42'09".
[BOB] Monster from the Depths #2 targets Rave Starfire. Distance: 12'03"
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] Then I fly to save john
[BOB] ] Monster from the Depths #2: Attack: Tentacle: (13-(d20+0)) [1d20=2] 11. Probably MISSES Rave Starfire (AC FINAL: -6).
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] i do not need saving yet
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] How can it target me up in the air?
[Tea Drinker] Heat vision?
[Tea Drinker] Radar?
[Vicki] lol
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] I am invisible.
[Tea Drinker] smell?
[Moirra (Kaz)] Klinger, even?
[BOB] as you get close to the boat, it explodes into shards, bits flying everywhere
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] Ok I by that one
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] smell
[BOB] the figures on it drop into the water
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] good one Kaz
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] What boat and what figures?
[Moirra (Kaz)] ((the enemy boat))
[BOB] the people on boat 3 makes saves to try and stay on board in the ways
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] Why didi he attack me then?
[BOB] ] Sebrina: Breath Weapon save: (d20) [1d20=1] 1 - ROLL FAILED against 14!!
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] why do monsters attack, next on Opra
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] I am so confused answer my question
[BOB] was a roll to see if you got hit by shrapnel Rave
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] Then why didn't you say it was attacking the other boat and not me?
[BOB] so you see Sebrina, and two dwarves go overboard
[BOB] I NEVER said it was attacking you
[BOB] I rolled some dice
[BOB] and you started questioning me before I coudl type anything
[Tea Drinker] Did you roll to see if the shrapnel hit the water?
[BOB] now you have to decie what to do
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] [BOB] ] Monster from the Depths #2: Attack: Tentacle: (13-(d20+0)) [1d20=2] 11. Probably MISSES Rave Starfire (AC FINAL: -6).
[BOB] Sebrina and two dwarves are in teh water
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] That means you attacked me
[BOB] are you saving them ? or?
[Vicki] ((Yipes, now Barb's gonna come back and have to create a new character, isn't she?))
[BOB] apparently this is a first
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] Look I can't move because it moves before me. so what do you want me to do next Bob?
[BOB] tell me what you are doing, do you go to save Sebrina? go to save the dwarves? what are you doing?
[BOB] you have NOT been attacked yet, the shrappnel missed you
[BOB] when the other boat exploded
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] Every time I try to do something the monster moves before me so what the hell does it matter what i do?
[Moirra (Kaz) (to Fritz only)] that roll with the "monster attack" was just a roll he did to see if you got hit by shrapnel from the boat. It wasn't a monster attack.
[BOB] ok, so Sebrina dies
[BOB] the dwarves die
[BOB] rave it out on the lake alone
[BOB] back to Paul's boat now
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] If you want to tdo that to people because I don't understand what you are doing then y ou are punishing them not me bob
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] i did not know there was a time limit in this game
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] Yea
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] NO iniitatie
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] no rolls
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] no nothing
[BOB] I asked what you wanted to do, you siad it did not matter what you do
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] That monster has attacked twice in the time it took me to ask what the HELL is going on
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] was there any reaction to my actions or the actions of boat 5 with regards to the tenticle?
[BOB] the monster NEVER ATTACKED YOU
[Moirra (Kaz)] Fritz, the monster didn't attack you
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] That should tell you to clarify things, not to punish Barb because she isn't here
[BOB] have not had the chance to cover that John
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] I know that now but understand how I got confused and stop picking the fuck on me
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] i thought it attacked you
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] Take the time to clarify your game and beat people up because of it
[Tea Drinker] it sounds like the tenticles toss a few handgrenades at some boats, which exploded at Rave.
[BOB] ok, so please tell me how I can get any clearer than "DO YOU WANT TO SAVE SEBRNA OR THE TWO Dwarve"
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] I don't deserbe that
[Rave Starfire (Fritz)] Yea fine, I telekinesis them all out of the water
[BOB] ok so moving back to Paul
[BOB] what are you doing?
[Fritz] I am away from the keyboard.
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] i was defnding my self seeing what the tenticle was doing
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] if it continues to attack I drop a gem
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] in the water
[BOB] ok,
[BOB] so dropping a gem in the water stopps the attack
[BOB] boat 3 is gone
[Moirra (Kaz)] ((I do have a question for clarification purposes))
[BOB] ] Sebrina: Petrification or Polymorph save: (d20) [1d20=4] 4 - ROLL FAILED against 10!!
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] No I am not gay
[BOB] ask away Kaz
[Moirra (Kaz)] ((when boat 6 threw their gems, didn't that stop the attack on boat 5? Or were they being attacked, too?))
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] sorry you meant BOB
[Paul Elvenstire (john)] I am not sure
[BOB] Boat 6 has not done anything yet
[Vicki] ((LOL John, I don't think that was of any question... hehe))
[BOB] boat 5 threw the gems

[john] sean playing with your connection
[BOB] ok
[Tea Drinker] Nah, I'm barely following the game as it is ... 8-P
[BOB] so I need input on this, Rave "saved" Sebrina but only after she dumped into the lake, and she failed so it encased in stone
[BOB] we have never had this happen to a character one round behind
[Vicki] My focus has drifted in and out of this particular segment all night
[Lorie] So... if it were me, I'd be fairly irritated at you BOB
[Kaz] I am back at the keyboard.
[john] i thought it did not hapen immediatly
[Lorie] We've had a very long running rule about people not being here
[BOB] nods
[Moirra (Kaz)] Can't someone stone to flesh? It was mentioned earlier.
[Lorie] and impacting their character
[BOB] I agree Lorie
[Lorie] you won't let us play their characters so... no I don't think that's very fair to Barb / Sebrina
[Moirra (Kaz)] and I agree with John. I thought it was a gradual thing.
[BOB] is why I waited adn waited and said it several times about "do you want to save Sebrina"
[BOB] now we have two of them out there on the lake with no boat
[BOB] and no room in the existing boats
[Tea Drinker] In that case Bob, that boat should have "made" it across safely, reguardless of the dice results, to avoid this situation.
[Tea Drinker] You're the DM, you can "fudge" rolls likethat.
[john] I can cast fly at least once and I can fly, that saves at least two spots
[BOB] but the boat had a live player in it,
[Moirra (Kaz)] Actually, if Paul is flying then there is a spot in his boat
[Vicki] I'm not sure why we figured in all the characters even though we had several players not involved lately
[Lorie] Well Vicki we had to.
[Lorie] What if Mike / Barb / etc. would have logged in
[Vicki] I see that, but why?
[Lorie] what do you mean why? I just explained why
[Vicki] they'd be where we are
[Lorie] EXACTLY...so we have to figure them in
[Moirra (Kaz)] Actually, the best way might have been to put them in one boat and then have that boat safely cross no matter what.
[Vicki] but we've traveled and the next time they logged in,they were already right there with us
[Lorie] no
[Lorie] putting them in one boat wouldn't have been right
[Lorie] they are technically 1 round behind
[BOB] when you were walking it was ok, but separated out in the boats, is different Vicki
[BOB] ok, so John can fly, and for expediants sake
[Vicki] I guess, I just don't see how, bob
[BOB] I will go with the idea of fudging the roll and Sebrina not being stone
[Moirra (Kaz) (to Lorie only)] I don't understand why tha makes it unfair to put them in one boat and have that boat safely cross.
[BOB] and the rest of the boats crossing
[BOB] John or someone can cross off a bunch of gems,
[BOB] as a bribe to get across
[Lorie (to Kaz only)] usually we don't lump people who aren't here (when we're doing water or major risk adventures) by themselves. If one of them logs in it could have put them at an unfair disadvantage
[BOB] and we can all arrive at the far shore
[john] Lori is the bookkeeper, I do not know where we keep the gems
[Tea Drinker] In sweaters?
[Lorie (to Kaz only)] we really try not to do that... and Sebrina isn't dead and she won't be harmed. BOB is trying to find a happy medium but ultimately he knows that isn't the way we roll
[john] yea!?
[Tea Drinker] Jars?
[BOB] is everyone ok with that?
[Moirra (Kaz) (to Lorie only)] Okay, I get that, about not putting them at risk. But for a one night thing, like this crossing, I don't see how it figures in. But it's really a dead issur for now.
[Tea Drinker] I'm okay with that, althoughn I have no horse in this race
[Moirra (Kaz)] Yes Bob
[john] can we pick the value of the gems and not randomly find out we thew in a 10K gem?
[BOB] if you have them sorted out
[Moirra (Kaz)] I would think we'd have made sure before we left shore that we didn't have any majorly expensive stones ready to throw
[john] of course
[Lorie (to Kaz only)] imagine you weren't here and we put you in the boat with Mike, Barb, Beth and Guy. You log in ... and you get attacked, you basically have no one to help you defend. Balancing the people here not here doesn't put someone at an unfair advantage. On a crossing like this where we knew there was some danger it was really important to ensure that.
[Lorie (to Kaz only)] Bob could have done a better job of having the dwarves work through it with us... or the drow prisoner try and do something... but as you said, water under the bridge
[Moirra (Kaz) (to Lorie only)] I totally understand that.
[john] brb
[Lorie (to Kaz only)] but Fritz not understanding didn't seem clear at first, and maybe a few more moments should have been taken to figure out where things went awry there (you with the boat order, John with the people in the boats, Bob with the stuff , etc.)

[Naola (BOB)] How do you want to deal with this Lady Kylia?
[Lorie] ((Sean lives on his own map Vicki... he likes it there ))
[Naola (BOB)] do you want us to wait here for you?
[Tea Drinker] That'sbecause Bob keeps sending me theworng maps ...
[Vicki] ((LOL))
[Tea Drinker (to Vicki only)] it's an easy trick once you know how I do it.
[Vicki (to Tea Drinker only)] heavens forbid that you'd tell anyone ;)
[Kylia Wolfslayer (Lorie)] :: sighs :: well if we must ... then we will. Now that we're here... we have to be quick and subtle... both skills we lack
[Naola (BOB)] I will go in with you
[Naola (BOB)] they are my people
[Tea Drinker] Go with your strengths ... and with a load of handgrenades
[Vicki] ((at least you don't have a noisy half orc amongst you))
[Naola (BOB)] I just want to be sure
[Naola (BOB)] who is in charge at this point, and what we are trying to do
[Tea Drinker] who ever is in front, is in change.
[Naola (BOB)] I have never been in this place my self
[john] whispers to Kylia, want me to look Drow?
[Naola (BOB)] I have only been on escort parties to this point
[Tea Drinker] unless, ofcourse, it's the person in the rear who doesn't say a thing.
[john] or at least dwarf
Tea Drinker] steps forward into the fray
[Kylia Wolfslayer (Lorie)] :: turns to Paul :: how difficult would that be for you? I wouldn't ask you to do that... ::: sighs ::
[Tea Drinker] CHARGE!
[john] I know, don't wory
Tea Drinker] runs down the corridor, yelling annd screaming
[Tea Drinker] BLOOD, DEATH AND VENGENCE!
[john] ::changes into 1/2 dragon, 1/2 drow::
[Tea Drinker] Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
[Vicki] ((not sure how that works...))
[Vicki] ((or looks for that matter))
[Tea Drinker] If course, it would be more impressive if I had a charcter 8-P
[john] (that is what Kit is)
[Vicki] ((works for me, thanks John))
[Kylia Wolfslayer (Lorie)] :: sticks out her foot and watches him fall :: Nice try...
[Tea Drinker] Ouch! Quit it!
[BOB] &&&
[BOB] lets make the plans now,
[Vicki] Sean, you really need to get a character
[BOB] so that we pick up first thing next week at the front gate
[BOB] who is talking for which group?
[Tea Drinker] And some would say I'm already a character.
[john] well they have to do their prison exchange right?
[BOB] do you want Naola talking at all?
[BOB] he will let Kylia do that
[john] why would we be exchanging a drow for some dwarfs?
[BOB] there are 5 dwarves adn a half elf ranger that are beign exchanged for the drow prisoner
[Vicki] Well, yeah, you are a character in yourself... as are the rest of us, including me so no offense to everyone else... but you need one for this...
[Kylia Wolfslayer (Lorie)] ((He has a character almost done Vicki))
[Vicki] well, better than where I'm at, I think...
[Kylia Wolfslayer (Lorie)] ((Don't worry... SPC has made and watched more PCs die than a lot of the group ))
[Kylia Wolfslayer (Lorie)] ((He'll be fine))
[Vicki] I think I'm actually going to think this one through than what I did with Tori... I only knew some specifics
[Tea Drinker] (well, excpet for Bibo ... )
[Kylia Wolfslayer (Lorie)] ((He's going to make a celtic priest that's from Boston and dislikes the Celts and Boston... go figure ;o) ))
[BOB] lol
[Tea Drinker] (just for that, I'll bring back my gnome)
[Kylia Wolfslayer (Lorie)] ((ha ha hah Hiro?))
[Vicki] that I wanted, and made a story from there, I think I might be able to reverse that order, somewhat
[Kylia Wolfslayer (Lorie)] ((or the one with the %^#$$$%#$$box))
[Vicki] btw, I think this is all OOC now...
[Tea Drinker] No, Manny Zurich. There's no player like gnone.
[Kylia Wolfslayer (Lorie)] ((Take it... no, get in the box... ))
[Moirra (Kaz)] Okay, so getting back to our plans...
[Tea Drinker] Yeah, right.
[Tea Drinker] I don't want the box, remember!
[Kylia Wolfslayer (Lorie)] We're stuffing Manny in the box? Giving it to the drow with the prisoner?
[BOB] who is the leader?
[Kylia Wolfslayer (Lorie)] and running like HEC K
[BOB] Kylia?
[Moirra (Kaz)] Kylia is going to speak for the group?
[Vicki] Kaz, remember plans never work as we make them ;)
[BOB] do you want that? or have Moirra speak?
[BOB] or?
[Kylia Wolfslayer (Lorie)] and then we're going to Nuke the underdark from orbit... it's the only way to be sure
[Kylia Wolfslayer (Lorie)] Yes...I'll speak
[Tea Drinker] Sounds like a plan to me.
[Moirra (Kaz)] Better than starting with chaos, Vicki. You have to have an idea of who's supposed to do what and go from there.
[Tea Drinker] The nuke part, not the speaking part.
[Moirra (Kaz)] Okay, I'll go if Kylia wants me with her, otherwise I'll stay back.
[BOB] ok,
[BOB] Kylia doing both the exchange and teh asking?
[BOB] Naola says they normally pay a bribe at the front gate to get in
[Tea Drinker] It's not a bribe ... it's an administrative entry fee...
[Kylia Wolfslayer (Lorie)] :: ponders :: do they take gnomes as bribes :: hopeful look ::
[Tea Drinker] geeze, get ti right.
[john] we have some red gold for that
[BOB] there is a large portcullis that blocks the way
[BOB] meant to keep out all sorts of things, no chance of sneaking through it
[john] well not all of us
[john] i doubt it is as tough as wolfspack, in that respect
[BOB] wry grin,
[BOB] so do you have any plan or idea on who to ask fro what?
[john] what else is there to plan for what we do not know
[Tea Drinker] Yo! Gatekeeper! Let us in!
[BOB] Naola knows the Kua Toa are holding the dwarves
