[BiBo clone] howdy beth!
[Beth] hello!
[BiBo clone] I hear bob's scaring you with stories of the potential demise of kira
[Beth] worse
Christy has joined the game on Fri Jul 27 19:13:51 EDT 2007
[Beth] he's been scaring me with the potential infatuation of Kira with Ramone
[BiBo clone] ::snicker::
[DM] not kira, her sister
[BiBo clone] oh, even better
[Beth] ah, that's ok
[BiBo clone] howdy christy
[BiBo clone] I'm still sans computer :(
[Beth] I would hate to ruin a perfectly good hate relationship lol
[Beth] who would Kira have to bicker with?
[BiBo clone] ::grins:: oh most great couples spend most of their time arguing anyway ;)
[Beth] ::wipes water off chin from choking::
[BiBo clone] the relationship between ramone and kira reminds me much of the song fairy tale of new york by the pogues
[Beth] ROFL
[DM] so Christy do you have fireball and are you about to light it off in tht room in front of percy?
[Beth] I have the lyrics for that on my computer
[BiBo clone] I gues you know the song :)
[Beth] I've listened to it a ocuple times ::grins::
[Christy] hold on-let me read through the chat
[DM] slow easy night tonight
[DM] no worries
[Beth] lol, and I suppose it IS almost a love/hate relationship lol
[BiBo clone] I was so tempted to sing it when I was at a karaoke bar this tuesday, but I wasn't with anyone who knew it at all to sing duet with me
[Beth] ah, MAN! I'd have loved to be there lol
[DM] going to reset trillian just a sec
[Beth] that would have been a riot
[BiBo clone] I ended up singing don't worry be happy, when I'm 64, and I'm a believer
[Beth] ::chuckles::
[BiBo clone] mike sung I wanna be sedated
[Beth] last time I did kareoki I think I did Bohemian Rhapsody and Unchained Melody
[Beth] ROFL
[Beth] I wanna do that one by Matchbox... I'm not crazy...
[BiBo clone] dunno the second one, but woot for the first
[Beth] Unchained Melody is the theme song for Ghost
[Beth] although it's an old song
[BiBo clone] I don't particularly remember ghost having a theme song
[Beth] was kinda revitalized by the movie
[Beth] it the one that played when they were doing the pottery scene
[BiBo clone] but I suppose it HAS been a few years since I've seen that
[BiBo clone] I was like 8 when it came out
[Beth] I love that movie
[BiBo clone] which is when I saw it
[Beth] except that he dies... which is just wrong lol
[Beth] um... yeah
[BiBo clone] well, it wouldn't be much of a movie if he didn't :-P
[BiBo clone] what would they call it then? living guy?
[BiBo clone] not the same effect as ghost :-P
[Beth] ::chuckles:: yeah yeah... technicalities
[Beth] I think Kira's sister will have to be a hitherto unknown half sister by one of her father's ... what is that word... goujo? no... but non-gypsy girlfriends
[DM] gajin
[Beth] gajin... that's it
[Beth] I had the g and the j right lol
[BiBo clone] you know, when/if I move to japan, I'm gonna make a blog and call it "Gaijin Superstar"
[DM] I know christy is dealign with dinner issues also
[DM] the real issue to consider is percy standing in teh doorway
[Beth] you are NOT moving to Japan without stopping in Oregon and seeing me before you go!!!!!
[DM] he has no protection from fire
[BiBo clone] he's a round behind :-P
[DM] yeah yeah
[DM] still standing in teh doorway
[BiBo clone] if we can't use him to our benefit, he can't be a hinderance to us neither
[Christy] I am away from the keyboard.
[Beth] either
[Beth] :D
BiBo clone is receiving the map Explored after first battle...
BiBo clone has received the map Explored after first battle.
Beth is receiving the map Explored after first battle...
Beth has received the map Explored after first battle.
BiBo clone is receiving the map Armory Smashed...
BiBo clone has received the map Armory Smashed.
[DM] so the issue is that that fireball will leak out of the room into the one you are in
[DM] Ramone moved 19'05".
[Beth] If she's firing a fireball, Kira will be moving out of the way of course
[BiBo clone] hell, I can do one better
[DM] there is essentially no way you can avoid the effects of the firebal in both rooms
[DM] is cast at the beginning of the battle like that
[DM] just so that you know
[DM] the fireball radius is on both maps
[DM] and we can just roll for damage to see what happens
[BiBo clone] okay, so percy steps back, I put up a wall of fire on our wall, the ghouls take damage until they either die or brave the wall to funnel into that doorway. there, arilyn chops them up by sword
[DM] ok then
[DM] Percival moved 3'10".
[BiBo clone] so, essentially, everything within 10 ft of the hot side of the wall (aka inside that room) takes 2d4 points of damage a round. anything within 20 ft takes 1d4 a round. anything that walks through the wall will take 2d6+12 points of damage. undead (aka these ghouls) take double damage.
[BiBo clone] so, whatever manages to survive that and get to arylin gets to get beat down by her whoopin stick
[DM] so the first group takes ({2d4*2) -1+({2d6+12) -1 points of damage just to get out of the room
[DM] {2d4*2
[DM] (2d4*2) [(2+1)*2] 6
[DM] ({2d6+12) -1*2
[BiBo clone] ((2d4)*2+(2d6+12)*2) [((1+1))*2+((4+4)+12)*2] 44
[DM] ({2d6+12) -1
[DM] so they take 50 points of damge the first round to get out
[DM] saves?
[BiBo clone] no save
[BiBo clone] so, yay diablo tactics :)
[Kira (Beth)] Yay!
[DM] so they can not get out
[DM] they take damage in the room
[DM] and to get out of hte room causes even more damage
[DM] so mark off 10 ghouls and 2 ghasts
[BiBo clone] woot
[Kira (Beth)] WooHoo!!!
[DM] when the moaning subsides you can open the door again
[BiBo clone] mike would totally appreciate the diabloness of this fight
[DM] Percival moved 7'11".
[DM] Percival moved 9'10".
[DM] Percival moved 1'04".
[BiBo clone] and this way we avoided unnecessarily damaging the room
[BiBo clone] with a fireball
[Kira (Beth)] YAY!
[BiBo clone] so cheers :)
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] anything of value in this room?
[Kira (Beth)] ::jumps up and down cheering::
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] Ramone: Wall of Fire: There's a wall of fire. If you're too close to the hot side, you take (2d4) [(2+1)] 3 damage. If you walk through it, you take (4d4+12) [(4+4+4+3)+12] 27 points of damage. If you're undead you take double damage.
[DM] lots of wood and metal scattered about
[Kira (Beth)] and do I need to check the room for traps?
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] can't hurt
[Kira (Beth)] Kira moved 10'06".
[Kira (Beth)] Kira: Find/Remove Traps check:(d100) [89] 89 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 95!!
[DM] and yes trapps
[DM] several of them
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] sweet. make with the getting rid of them
[DM] seems that what was happening
[Kira (Beth)] what kind?
[DM] was that this was some sort of armory
[Kira (Beth)] YAY!
[DM] and they ghasts, were trapping the good that were left
[DM] after the ghouls smashed and killed the guards
[DM] so you have about 10 traps in this room
[Kira (Beth)] Kira: Find/Remove Traps check:(d100) [42] 42 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 95!!
[DM] after the fire has done away with some of them
[Kira (Beth)] Kira: Read Languages check:(d100) [8] 8 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 30!!
[DM] so you can roll a whole bunch of them
[Kira (Beth)] Kira: Find/Remove Traps check:(d100) [91] 91 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 95!!
[Kira (Beth)] Kira: Find/Remove Traps check:(d100) [42] 42 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 95!!

[DM] ok,
[DM] so you cleared out 9 wioth no problems
[Kira (Beth)] ok, how bad am I hurt?
[DM] then the one that gave you issues
[DM] you got scratched
[Kira (Beth)] no necessarily a good thing
[DM] by a scythe
[Kira (Beth)] with poison?
[DM] that swung down and
[DM] stabbed you in the chest for (1d4) [1] 1 points
[DM] Kira's Current Hit Points: adjusted to 53 (-1) - Lightly Wounded
[Kira (Beth)] ah, thank the gods for good reflexes
[Kira (Beth)] I hate it when the 4% kicks in
[Kira (Beth)] or 5% I mean
[DM] so Percy welcome
[DM] adn let us know when you are caught up
[Percival] Okay. So what are all the things of value that were trapped? ::Yep, all caught up::
[Kira (Beth)] ::looks down blouse to check small puncture wound::
[Percival] ::Good work, Ramone, to offer a plan that didn't destroy the entire room::
[Percival] Anybody got healing to test the wound for poison?
[Percival] Can we see the instrument that made the puncture?
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] not I
[Kira (Beth)] doesn't feel poisoned, but that's not a bad idea
[Percival] Maybe the poison's past its expiration date!
[DM] you can see the scythe that did the damage
[Kira (Beth)] ::chuckles::
[DM] and you would not make a save verus poison until it goes into effect
[DM] so if it was a long range thing, it might be days before you make a save
[Kira (Beth)] do I notice any suspicioius residue?
[Percival] Okay, they wouldn't poison a scythe, I don't think. Those are bad enough by themselves.
[DM] you would need detect poison
[Kira (Beth)] ok...
[Percival] You would poison something like a knife or a dart...
[DM] it swung out to hit her in the chest
[DM] she mostly dodged it
[Percival] Excellent.
[DM] the rest of the rooms traps were on things like manacles
[Kira (Beth)] acrobatic reflexes, dontcha know... :D
[DM] armor
[Percival] ::Christy's almost done upstairs::
[DM] weapons
[DM] etc
[Percival] Oooh. Armor.
[DM] looks like a place that guards used
[Kira (Beth)] ooh, weapons
[DM] and prepared in
[Kira (Beth)] any magical ones?
[Percival] Oh, yeah, I've already got really really good armor...
[DM] none visiable
[Percival] Maybe someone else here can get an upgrade?
[Kira (Beth)] dammit and I don't have detect magic memorized
[Christy] I am back at the keyboard.
[Christy] okay, I'm back with a full tummy
[DM] well the stuf that is here has a bit of a weird effect to it
[Percival] Don't touch anything!
[Kira (Beth)] oh?
[DM] like it is made to defend agaisnt specific attacks
[Kira (Beth)] what kind of weird effect?
[Kira (Beth)] ah
[Christy] spellcraft?
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] Ramone: Detect Magic: Any magic?
[DM] like upper armor that protects against bites, like a modern day dog suit
[DM] nope no magic
Christy is receiving the map Explored after first battle...
Christy has received the map Explored after first battle.
[Christy] I am back at the keyboard.
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] touch all you like
[Kira (Beth)] huh... and I can't wear much for armor..
[DM] there are several large stoppered stone flasks that were not shattered
[DM] in the ransaacking of the room
[Kira (Beth)] interferes with my movements
[DM] and here we thoguht Kira liked to be restrained
[Kira (Beth)] hhmmm... can we tell what's in them?
[Kira (Beth)] heheh... um... no
[Kira (Beth)] if she liked that she'd get married
[DM] you wo8uld have to open them
[Kira (Beth)] check for traps on them?
[DM] and or have herbalism
[DM] or such
[DM] and there are no more traps
[DM] you covered that in the almost two hours you spent already
[Kira (Beth)] so, carefully open one without getting the liquid on me
[DM] covered the room floor to ceiling no more traps
[DM] smells a slight bit pungent
[Kira (Beth)] or whatever is in them
[Kira (Beth)] pungent in what way?
[DM] peppery
[Kira (Beth)] pungent like skunkish? or fragrant?
[Kira (Beth)] peppery...
[Kira (Beth)] huh...
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] sweet, we've broken into the pantry
[Kira (Beth)] peppery as in black pepper or hot peppers?
[DM] actually pepper is a spice not a sweet
[DM] as in black pepper imported from the East
[Kira (Beth)] ::sneezes::
[Percival] ::bless you::
[Kira (Beth)] ::away from the jars::
[Arilyn] we can now whip up an exotic dish for dinner
[Kira (Beth)] some spices are worth their weight in gold
[Kira (Beth)] or more
[DM] but this is an armory and not a kitchen
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] yeah, but these are ghouls, maybe they like their guard flesh spicy
[Percival] "Pepper of heroism"
[Kira (Beth)] pepper... isn't there some off the wall use for pepper in fighting?
[Percival] "Pepper of great strength"
[Arilyn] so that would seem like a strange place to keep your spice rack
[Kira (Beth)] besides blowing it into your opponent's eyes
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] well, you can always throw pepper in someone's face to blind them
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] oh... then no not so much
[Percival] Still, let's not touch anything until we can determine if it's been magicked and perhaps cursed.
[Kira (Beth)] no magic
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] there's no magic here
[Percival] Oh, did someone do detect magic?
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] yep
[Kira (Beth)] Ramone
[Kira (Beth)] actually he DIDn't detect any lol
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] well, the containers of pepperiness aren't trapped right?
[Percival] ::I was looking in the chat for Ramone's purple color, but his spell went off in gray chat, so I missed it earlier::
[Kira (Beth)] no, no traps
[Kira (Beth)] anywhere in the room
Percival is receiving the map Armory Smashed...
Percival has received the map Armory Smashed.
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] crack it on open then
[Kira (Beth)] I did
[Kira (Beth)] it's pepper like stuff
[DM] ther are two other flasks
[Percival] Okay, what do you want to take with us? Let's continue exploring the area.
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] open those up too then
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] maybe we'll get myrrh and frankincense
[Percival] We can come back for anything else later.
[Kira (Beth)] ok, opening them one at a time just as carefully as the first
[Percival] ::chuckles::
[DM] oen contains Salt
[DM] and the other has some golden liquid
[Kira (Beth)] ok, salt, pepper, and ?
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] like... honey?
[Kira (Beth)] smells like?
[Percival] Are we looking for something in particular here?
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] valuables
[Kira (Beth)] salt and pepper are staples for traveling and quite valuable actually
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] or olive oil maybe?
[Kira (Beth)] which is very valuable
[Percival] Let's spend an off night determing what all this stuff is. We can take it all and categorize it later.
[Kira (Beth)] golden liquid smells like? is it oily? or is it honey?
[DM] not honey, not any typical oil you are familiar with
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] okie doke, probably some other condiment for the ghouls or something
[Kira (Beth)] caps it up again
[Kira (Beth)] this is for a humanoid army, I think
[DM] bear or wyvern greese
[Kira (Beth)] grease? hhmmm
[Kira (Beth)] bear grease would be solid...
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] there's weapons here, but nothing of particular value
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] so, onwards
[Kira (Beth)] unless warmed to melting temp
[Percival] Onwards, good mage!
[Arilyn] moving on then.
Percival is receiving the map Explored after first battle...
Percival has received the map Explored after first battle.
[DM] so you ahve the south or the east doors
[Arilyn] we can always take some time later and figure out what everything is
BiBo clone is receiving the map Explored after first battle...
BiBo clone has received the map Explored after first battle.
[Percival] ::Yep::
[DM] all doors checked for traps
[DM] and all are unlocked
[Kira (Beth)] right
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] ::points east:: thataway
[Percival] Let's do east.
[Kira (Beth)] Percy? would yoiu care to do the honors?
[Percival] Percival moved 12'04".
[Percival] Percival moved 1'04".
[Kira (Beth)] please
[Kira (Beth)] :)
[Percival] Percival: Open Doors check: (d20) [7] 7 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 16!!
[Percival] Opened.
[Kira (Beth)] it's unlocked...
[Percival] Percival moved 3'03".
[Kira (Beth)] ::chuckles::
[Kira (Beth)] just needed to push or turn a knob or something lol
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] so it's REALLY unlocked :)
[Percival] Do we need to check for traps on the *inside*?
[Arilyn] now it's really open
[Kira (Beth)] yes
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] in fact, the lock is now broken off
[Kira (Beth)] Kira moved 14'05".
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] so it can't ever be locked again
[DM] Percival moved 3'06".
[Kira (Beth)] Kira: Find/Remove Traps check:(d100) [32] 32 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 95!!
[DM] there you go Percy is on the new map
BiBo clone is receiving the map Torture Room...
BiBo clone has received the map Torture Room.
[DM] before Kira makes that check
Arilyn is receiving the map Torture Room...
Arilyn has received the map Torture Room.
[Percival] ::No, I didn't do an *open locked doors* check.
[DM] the door was unlocked
[DM] you opened it
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] sweet, a torture room
[Percival] I just did an open doors check. Do we not need to do that every time we open a door?
[DM] have not gone inside yet
[DM] you have to go inside if you want to check for traps
[DM] so you can look first
[DM] before doing so
[Beth] I am back at the keyboard.
[Percival] I thought we needed to do open doors checks because the moisture, doors are old, damaged, etc.
[Kira (Beth)] I can't stand in the doorway and check for traps?
[DM] not in this palce Percy
[Percival] Gotcha.
[DM] you can check for traps at the door
[DM] but your checking involved actually entering the room etc
[Percival] I didn't go inside.
[DM] no no one went inside
[DM] but you can see the skeleton on the table there
[DM] struggling to get out
[Arilyn] this does not look like a fun room
[Kira (Beth)] my eye is twitching
[DM] from being bound down
[DM] and on the left wall are more
[Arilyn] the skeleton is struggling?
[Percival] Are you saying it's moving?
[DM] yes
[DM] all of them are struggling
[Arilyn] hmm, we'll have to make that stop
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] "Well that seems hardly useful. Why bother torturing a skeleton? They can't feel anything."
[Percival] "All of them?"
[Arilyn] anyone have a blunt weapon?
[DM] e'
[Arilyn] practice?
[Percival] Yes, I have a horseman's flail.
[DM] there is the one on teh table, adn the ones on the wall
[Kira (Beth)] so, I have to actually move into the room to check for traps
[Percival] ::I think it's 1d4+1::
[Arilyn] let's let Kira check for traps then Percival can go smash them up
[Percival] Well, she is going to check for traps as she moves, right, Bob?
[DM] yes
[Percival] I'm right behind her.
[Kira (Beth)] alright, I did one check already... what does that count for?
[DM] the one you did before counted on teh door
[Kira (Beth)] ::sighs:: my eye is twitching again...
[Percival] We're just looking for stuff like a pit right *after* the door. Or a big falling rock, etc.
[DM] you can do so again
[DM] one trap check covers the room
[Kira (Beth)] by stepping through the door
[DM] you found ten with the last one
[DM] yes
[Kira (Beth)] alright... ::sighs:: I do so
[DM] if the door was trapped and you are successful in finding it you stop right there
[DM] no different than any other time
[Kira (Beth)] Kira: Find/Remove Traps check:(d100) [35] 35 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 95!!
[DM] just you have live skeletons trying to escaps now
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] "Before you go smashing them.... and I know this may sound a crazy idea... perhaps see if they have anything to say?"
[Kira (Beth)] I agree with that, Ramone
[DM] there are the empty crow cages on the far wall
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] "Not like they're going anywhere at the moment."
[DM] and the box in teh lower corner
[DM] adn the three skeletons
[Kira (Beth)] traps?
[DM] and the one in the pit
[Arilyn] Ramone, you could question the prisoners before execution
[DM] and no traps
[Percival] If you'd like to talk to the skeletons, Ramone, I'm sure not going to stop you-
[Kira (Beth)] k
[Percival] This I've got to see.
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] ::waits for the trap checking to be done then steps forth for a little chat:: "Hello?"
[Kira (Beth)] no traps, guys
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] "Are you intelligent undead?"
[Arilyn] do skeletons speak their own language? kind of a grunting and groaning?
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] ((depends on the skeleton, there's many different types))
[Arilyn] are any intelligent?
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] ((the classic type doesn't talk at all though, and yes there are many intelligent types))
[Arilyn] well chat away then
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] ((death knights, skeletal knights for example))
[DM] groans in agony
[DM] please I have nothing to say
[DM] please let us go
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] ((or even a normal human under a flesh to air spell))
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] "Oh I'm not here to hurt you. Are you from the town?"
[DM] i don't remember
[DM] I know that I am not supposed to be here
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] "Do you remember anything?"
[DM] I can barely remember anythign but on this rack
[DM] and the endless questions
[Arilyn] what kind of questions?
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] "I see. From who? And what type of questions?"
[Kira (Beth)] hhmmm what kind of questions
[DM] devils
[DM] demons
[DM] humans
[DM] elves
[DM] a dragon thing
[Percival] Oh, this is not good...
[DM] everyone wants to know things
[DM] I do not know
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] "Gotcha. So you've no idea what you're doing here then."
[DM] I don't remember
[Arilyn] a dragon thing has been here to ask questions?
[DM] all I can remember is being questioned
[DM] it had wings
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] "Are all your friends here in the same condition?"
[Percival] What were the questions?
[DM] I don't have any friends
[DM] where is my father
[DM] where can we find this holy symbol
[DM] where is the sword
[DM] what did you do with the wand
[DM] I don't know
[DM] I don';t know
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] "Your fellow prisoners then" ::guestures to the other moving skeletons::
[DM] I DON"T KNOW
[DM] GODS I DONT KNOW
[DM] ahhhhhh
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] "Would you like a job?"
[Arilyn] so the bad guys are looking for a holy symbol, a sword and a wand
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] ::leans against the table::
[Arilyn] Percival, can you detect evil?
Robert has joined the game on Fri Jul 27 20:27:59 EDT 2007
[Arilyn] Robert!!
[DM] Hey there
[Kira (Beth)] :) hello!
[Percival] ::closes eyes, reaches hand out in front::
[Robert] hi :)
[Percival] ::concentrates for a moment, waving hand around::
[Percival] Hey, Robert!
[Robert] where is everybody?
[Percival] Exactly.
[Arilyn] hiding
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] they hate us
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] they're on strike
[Robert] cool
[Percival] You're looking at *everybody*.
[Robert] ok... weird names... who's who?
[Arilyn] Bunny ans Sean are on strike
[Percival] Hans here.
[Percival] Christy is Arilyn.
[DM] no evil
[Arilyn] Christy
[Robert] gotcha
[Arilyn] how's Julie?
[Robert] on strike, eh?
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] Ramone: Know Alignment: What's your alignment?
[Robert] she's well
[Robert] lawful good
[Percival] These skeletons are very surprising. They're not evil!
[DM] neutral
[Arilyn] I say we set them free
Robert is receiving the map Robert-Overland01...
Robert has received the map Robert-Overland01.
[Arilyn] we could offer them water but...
[Percival] Not like any skeleton I've ever seen. I'm glad I didn't wrong them by smiting them!
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] "Most skeletons aren't evil actually. It's somewhat surprising for an intelligent skeleton to be nonevil though."
[Kira (Beth)] free as in free of this world? or free from their chains?
[Percival] I guess we can let them go, eh?
[Arilyn] free from their chains
[Arilyn] might be nice to have a crazy skeleton buddy
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] ::leans on the table:: "So would you like a job son?" ::peers at the skeleton::
[Kira (Beth)] might let one at a time go
[Percival] We are going to let you go. Don't hurt anybody. If you need any help, let us know. You might be a little scary to the humans in the town...
[Arilyn] couldn't be any worse than some of Mal's personalities
[Kira (Beth)] see what happens with one freed
[Percival] The word you are looking for is useless, not "worse"
[Arilyn] oh what's-her-name that wanted to slit Percy's throat
Percival is receiving the map Torture Room...
Percival has received the map Torture Room.
[Arilyn] that one's a peach
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] "Well, that's a common reaction to paladins."
[DM] Robert if you load the map with Percy on it
[Percival] Percival is in the room w/skeletons, Robert.
Robert is receiving the map Torture Room...
Robert has received the map Torture Room.
[DM] that will show you the current situation
[Percival] Percival moved 7'10".
[Varn (Robert)] cool
Beth is receiving the map Torture Room...
Beth has received the map Torture Room.
[Percival] Untying 1st skeleton.
[Arilyn] have we ever had a skeleton in the party?
[Percival] Percival moved 9'00".
[DM] the on on the rack? or the one on teh wall?
[Varn (Robert)] I take it that the skeletons are undead?
[Percival] Untying 2nd skeleton
[Percival] Percival moved 7'03".
[DM] and Varn is on the map now
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] we had an undead bird, does that count?
[Percival] The one on the rack.
[Percival] Then the one on the wall.
[Arilyn] hmm...interesting.
[Percival] THen the one on the south wall.
[DM] ok, as they are untied they fall limp on the table
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] ::points to robert:: his doing too
[Arilyn] I've been wanting a henchman
[Varn (Robert)] I remember the bird... yes, yes it was :)
[DM] as the other two are undone the collapse into a pile of bones
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] as in whatever was sustaining them stops?
[DM] and they stop talking
[DM] yes
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] ah
[Varn (Robert)] tie them back up
[Arilyn] then I could learn the whole song "...the hip bone's connected to the..."
[Varn (Robert)] assemble them first
[Percival] we freed them
[Percival] no
[Varn (Robert)] obviously
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] oh well.
[Percival] They wanted to be freed from *torture* and that's kinda what I'm into, guys. Freeing people from torture...
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] Ramone: Detect Magic: Any magic?
[DM] each of the shackles is magical
[DM] and the well that kira is standing next to is magical as well
[Percival] a-ha!
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] "Oooh..... can I keep those?"
[Varn (Robert)] don't get me wrong... I don't mind freeing them...
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] "Always wanted me some magical shackles" ::rubs his hands::
[Varn (Robert)] but they stopped talking when they were free, right?
[Varn (Robert)] but now we know about the shackles
[Varn (Robert)] i wonder what would happen if a living person put them on
[Varn (Robert)] hmmmmm
[Arilyn] cool shackes but too bad on the skeleton buddy
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] ::ponders::
[Kira (Beth)] would have been nice to have a little more information
[Varn (Robert)] what if we attach the shackles to them but not to the wall
[Arilyn] i'm not putting those on. Ramone, please don't
[Varn (Robert)] would they be able to walk around?
[Kira (Beth)] but, I don't think I'm willing to be the guinea pig for the shackles
[Percival] ::While we have Varn here, we need to attack something. He's a walking fortress::
[Kira (Beth)] nor, should you be, ramone
[Percival] No, Ramone
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] "No one said you had to put them on. I know how to find out what they do. Just gotta find out if they create the skeleton state or merely maintain it."
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] Ramone: Identify: What's this do?
[Kira (Beth)] oh, ok
[Percival] Takes 8 hours, Ramone...
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] not for me ;)
[Percival] We're not spending that kind of time for this.
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] takes a minute
[Varn (Robert)] I'll just lay out here on this table and catch a nap :)
[Percival] In Bob's world? How's that possible?
[Varn (Robert)] kidding... hehehe :D
[DM] the shackles prevent a person from "dying" though obviously their body can go through some pretty radical issues
[Kira (Beth)] ::chuckles::
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] ::waves a magical slate that does his identifying for him::
[Percival] k
[Varn (Robert)] are any of them still chained?
[DM] yeah Percy, you know this group, if they can find a way
[Kira (Beth)] so, essentially, the 'soul' remains as long as the body is shackled
[DM] sighs
[Percival] No, I unchained 'em all.
[DM] the intelligence
[Varn (Robert)] gotcha
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] ::ponders:: "I am SO taking these."
[Percival] ::chuckles::
[Percival] Careful with those, Ramone!
[Percival] Anything else of interest in here?
[Kira (Beth)] Just put them away, Ramone
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] "Sure they have purpose for torture and all but think of it this way. While you have them on, you can't die!"
[DM] they are built into the wall and rack right now
[Varn (Robert)] what if you put those on.. would you be nigh impervious to death?
[DM] will take some undoing to move them
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] "No reason why you couldn't just wear them and wander around."
[Percival] I think it's self-evident that we learned there are lots of different bad guys in the area looking for some particular items. We must march on!
[Kira (Beth)] but, you're nothing but a skeleton if your body can't support it's existance due to excessive damage
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] "The skeletonness had nothing to do with the shackles"
[Varn (Robert)] this is true
[Percival] Let's go into that other room and find the wyvern or whatever.
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] "That was just a result of the torture."
[Varn (Robert)] wyvern?
[Varn (Robert)] that doesn't sound good
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] "The shackles just kept them alive where otherwise they would have died."
[Kira (Beth)] and would be a result if your body is fubarred
[Percival] I think the skeletonness was part of the shackles. They were tortured (to death) and the shackles kept them animated.
[Kira (Beth)] exactly
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] "Well yes, but the shackles themselves didn't turn them to skeletons."
[Kira (Beth)] your body can still 'die', but will remain animate
[Percival] yep.
[Kira (Beth)] so you don't die... what good is that if you're nothing but a skeleton?
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] "In the very least it can keep you up and fighting until we can get you to a propper raise dead."
[Percival] We can make a note and come get them later for you, Ramone-
[Kira (Beth)] especially for you, Ramone, unless you find a girl who's into necrophilia
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] "Bah, you'd be more like a zombie."
[Percival] I think the shackles might have other, um, untoward effects.
[Varn (Robert)] BOB what kind of a bend bars check would we need to yank a pair out of the wall?
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] "These people were obviously stripped of their flesh as part of their torture."
[DM] he must know at least ONE woman into that
[Kira (Beth)] heh... probably so
[Percival] Wow, these are bad guys; let's go *get* them!
[Kira (Beth)] Darla would for the right price, I'll bet
[Percival] Make your check, Robert.
[Kira (Beth)] ::snickers::
[DM] you could make a standard bend bars check Varn to try to yank them out of the wall but might damage them
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] what bob said
[Percival] Percival: Bend Bars/Lift Gate check: (d100) [48] 48 - ROLL FAILED against -1!!
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] you'd be just as likely to snap the shackles
[Varn (Robert)] I see...
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] don't do that
[DM] and WRENCH them into
[Percival] I just made my roll.
[DM] dull glow
[DM] and the magic winks out
[Varn (Robert)] Varn: Bend Bars/Lift Gate check: (d100) [65] 65 - ROLL FAILED against 60!!
[Percival] I needed to roll under 50.
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] what part of don't do that don't you understand
[DM] ok, so two pairs ruined
[Varn (Robert)] the don part :)
[Varn (Robert)] I get the rest
[Percival] Okay, are the ones I yanked out damaged?
[Percival] Let's go, then.
[Varn (Robert)] how many pairs are left?
[Percival] I was only trying to *help*, Ramone-
[Kira (Beth)] I'm about to plant my butt firmly right here
[DM] hold on
[DM] I am saying that if the attempt to yank them out of the wall and failing results in bending the shackles beyond repair
[DM] Marco is saying that a failure shoudl mean nothing happens
[Percival] Well I succeeded on the first one. We won't do any more.
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] yeah, with success meaning a item save vs crushing blow to see if it's damaged
[Percival] (other than the one that Varn ruined).
[Varn (Robert)] hey....
[Percival] You can roll that, Ramone-
[Varn (Robert)] :)
[DM] ok, so goign with that idea, we need a save for the one adn the other is still in the wall
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] yeah
[DM] Roll #1: (d20) [20] 20
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] that succeeds a lot
[Varn (Robert)] I don't see how failing to pull them outof the wall ruins them
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] yeah, that was my arguement
[DM] ok, so one out of the wall the other in the wall
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] so we have one pair
[DM] niether are damaged
[Percival] ::hands pair to Ramone::
[Varn (Robert)] think about it, these guys hanging from them were surely pulling pretty hard on them
[DM] and kira is still by the magic well
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] ::pets his new toys::
[Percival] There's a magic well here?
[Kira (Beth)] moves away from the magic well
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] yeah, one of the skeletons was in it
[Varn (Robert)] now that I read.. never mind what I said
[Kira (Beth)] Ramone? what about this thing?
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] probably does the same thing as the shackels
[Arilyn] Ramone, can you identify that?
[DM] back when the three sets of shackels and the pool
[Varn (Robert)] and the well is magic?
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] yep
[DM] pool is magic
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] Ramone: Identify: What's this do?
[DM] and anyting dumped into it dies
[Varn (Robert)] pool.. evil
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] nice.
[Kira (Beth)] Gods, I'm glad i moved away ::shudders::
[Varn (Robert)] not nice
[Arilyn] killing pool not wishing pool. too bad
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] "Don't think I can make use of it. It'd be too hard to transport."
[Varn (Robert)] can we take the iron maiden ;)
[Kira (Beth)] ::rolls eyes::
[Varn (Robert)] we're going to need some tunes
[Percival] :: I think you've just been looking for an opportunity to say something like that::
[Kira (Beth)] LOL
[Varn (Robert)] pretty much, yeah
[Percival] ::chuckles::
[Varn (Robert)] hehehe
[Percival] Let's go, guys!
[DM] it is fun to have Robert arond
[Varn (Robert)] some things don't change, eh?
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] We can come back for the other shackles when we have some spells to facilitate the removal without damagins them
[Percival] Bob, we have one more unexplored room there.
[DM] so south out of here? or back to the previous room?
[Percival] ditto to Bob about Robert-
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] south of here
[Percival] I am away from the keyboard.
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] no need to go back just yet
[Kira (Beth)] I need to check it
[Arilyn] i do miss seeing you guys evey week
[Kira (Beth)] Kira moved 13'02".
[Kira (Beth)] Kira: Find/Remove Traps check:(d100) [94] 94 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 95!!
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] I miss seeing people every week too ::glances about at bob's empty house:: I'm the only one here!!!
[Kira (Beth)] :(
[Varn (Robert)] just you and BOB... how romantic
[Kira (Beth)] ::snert::

[Varn (Robert)] Secret way?
[Arilyn] we always end up in dumps where everything is smashed up
[Varn (Robert)] hmmmm.. what's that?
[DM] obviously some sort of room, but there seems to have been a revolt
[Arilyn] doesn't evil recognize the value of good decor?
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] well yeah, the places where everything's in one piece tend to have laws against us looting them.
[Kira (Beth)] anything of interest?
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] you know how we are with laws
[Kira (Beth)] heheh
[DM] from the doorway nothing seems to be intact of of value
[Arilyn] maybe they wouldn't feel so evil if they had a comfy place to sit
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] besides, even when places ARE in one piece, they rarely are after we're done with them
[Kira (Beth)] oh, evil is quite aware of the benefit of tasteful decor...
[Kira (Beth)] there have been some pretty fancy layouts... but they were a little um... worse for wear by the time we got to them or made it through them
[Arilyn] when I have my own place I'm going to have a room devoted to fighting so my nice furniture doesn't get stained
[Kira (Beth)] ::looks at ceiling::
[Percival] Help me out, how do we see the main map?
[Varn (Robert)] should we check for traps or secret doors or hidden wenches or something?
[DM] which map percy?
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] we like wenches
[DM] the explored after battle?
[Percival] The one coming into this room.
[Kira (Beth)] and yes, we should
[Varn (Robert)] hidden winches... winches... sorry
[Varn (Robert)] hehehe
[DM] kylia is on that one
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] no no, the first one was right

[Percival] Oh. I thought this was the one in the room with the 3 doors. Let's go check that out, then.

[Arilyn] if it's a jail then where are all the tv's?

[Kira (Beth)] ::haughtily::
[DM] gypsy = wench
[Varn (Robert)] ahhh even better

[Ramone (BiBo clone)] "I like that game."
[Varn (Robert)] hehehehehe
[DM] kira hides a lot from ramone
[Percival] I am back at the keyboard.
[Kira (Beth)] leave that to Ramone and his doxies
[Percival] Okay. Let's be nice to they gypsy lady, please.
[Kira (Beth)] ::said contemptuously
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] "They're not doxies, they're perfectly respectable young ladies."
[Varn (Robert)] I was being nice... I merely wanted to play hide-&-seek
[Kira (Beth)] I do NOT hide from Ramone
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] "I'm not though." ::grins::
[Percival] ::having problem with map::
[Kira (Beth)] I HATE Ramone ::growls::

[Arilyn] which book?
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] and the half that's there is rearranged

[Ghostly Voice] and WHOOOSHES over Percy;s head
[Percival] She checked for traps and didn't find any!
[Ghostly Voice] NOW leave
[Ghostly Voice] or I will have to hurt you
[Kira (Beth)] it's not a trap, it's the ghost
[Percival] Oh, it wasn't a trap.
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] "Why's that?"
[Ghostly Voice] you have to leave
[Ghostly Voice] I am guarding this room
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] "What's to guard here? doesn't look like anything special to me."
[Kira (Beth)] ::backs up into the doorway in preparation to leave::
[Ghostly Voice] exactly
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] "Seems pretty pointless to guard a room with no importance."
[Percival] We will leave. We just need to find out if there's anything useful in this room.
[Ghostly Voice] this room looks the same as it did when i was told to guard it
[Ghostly Voice] there is not
[Ghostly Voice] you can just leave now
[Robert] I am back at the keyboard.
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] "And really, your intentness to keep us out just makes us more interested in investigating it."
[Kira (Beth)] Kira moved 1'07".
[Percival] Is there anything we can do to free your from your burden?
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] "If you really wanted us to leave you could have just said nothing and we'd probably be gone by now."
[Ghostly Voice] the spear swings again at Percy
[Ghostly Voice] SWOOSH
[Ghostly Voice] now LEAVE
[Percival] Weapons up.
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] "But now it's all oooooh the ghost is guarding this place, why could he be guarding it?"
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] "So you see our dilema."
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] "Now we have to find out why you're guarding a place with nothing in it to guard."
[Ghostly Voice] I am the guard
[Ghostly Voice] this is the guard room
[Varn (Robert)] I'm all for fighting... if we could see him
[Ghostly Voice] how hard is it to understand
[Beth] I am back at the keyboard.
[Kira (Beth)] I get it
[Percival] ::Eyeing the floating spear warily::
[Ghostly Voice] leave
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] "Pretty hard. So how long have you been here Tired?"
[Ghostly Voice] so I do not have to hurt you
[Ghostly Voice] I have been here for a long time
[Percival] What is in the south side of the wall?
[Ghostly Voice] I am very tired
[Ghostly Voice] a room
[Varn (Robert)] yes yes... we've been through that
[Percival] Maybe we can lift the curse for you, spirit.
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] "Is Very some sort of guard title?"
[Ghostly Voice] I am not cursed
[Ghostly Voice] I am a guard
[Varn (Robert)] like sir?
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] "Very Tired the guard. Gotcha. Now why are you guarding this guard room?"
[Percival] Who told you to guard this room?
[Ghostly Voice] I am guarding this room
[Ghostly Voice] the master set me to guard this room
[Percival] I hereby relieve you of your duty.
[Ghostly Voice] I do not need any further instruction
[Percival] We will find the master and defeat him. Then you will be free. Thank you for your time.
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] "Can you stop guarding under any particular circumstance?"
[Percival] ::Nothing else here, people.::
[Ghostly Voice] I am the guard
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] "You don't have to be though."
[Ghostly Voice] (this is the only unsmashed room apparently)
[Percival] Because it's got a ghost, of course.
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] ((could be something in that chest over there))
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] Ramone: Detect Magic: Any magic?
[Ghostly Voice] yes the whole room glows of magic
[Percival] ::Okay. tell you what, you guys cover me while I try to open the portal in the south side of the room::
[Ghostly Voice] and the chest does also
[Percival] Percival moved 8'02".
[Percival] Percival moved 10'05".
[Percival] Percival moved 10'02".
[Ghostly Voice] and the spear stabs at Percy
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] Ramone: See invisibility: I see you!
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] do I see this ghost now then?
[Percival] I'm not easy to hit, spirit!
[Ghostly Voice] (2d6) [(6+2)] 8
[Ghostly Voice] Percival's Current Hit Points: adjusted to 50 (-8) - Lightly Wounded
[Percival] ::Blocking spear with weapons::
[Ghostly Voice] hits
[Percival] Blocking, DM.
[Ghostly Voice] nods
[Ghostly Voice] he hits
[Percival] I've been "eyeing the spear warily with my weapons up."
[Percival] Okay. Let's try this again.
[Ghostly Voice] nods, it seems to not make a difference
[Ghostly Voice] he hits right through you
[Ghostly Voice] your parry/block
[Percival] You mean I *can't* block it?
[Ghostly Voice] you did
[Ghostly Voice] sort of
[Ghostly Voice] you blocked it and it still did damage
[Ghostly Voice] not sure why
[Percival] a-ha.
[Ghostly Voice] you know you woudl have blocked an attack
[Ghostly Voice] and looking through that grate to the south you can see a square chamber like the others you have been in before
[Percival] Okay, then.
[Varn (Robert)] that's weird
[Ghostly Voice] LEAVE
[Percival] I'm leaving, spirit.
[Varn (Robert)] should we attack it?
[Percival] Percival moved 8'05".
[Percival] Percival moved 19'11".
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] "Can we leave through the door over there?" ::points to the south door::
[Percival] Percival moved 7'03".
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] "You are just guarding this room, not the one beyond right?"
[Ghostly Voice] haughty voice, NONE SHALL PASS
[Arilyn] I am back at the keyboard.
[Ghostly Voice] tired voice, Just go
[Ghostly Voice] leave
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] "Pass what? Is there a test?"
[Ghostly Voice] I want to go to sleep
[Arilyn] how about 5?
[Percival] ::heh heh heh::
[Arilyn] we'll be very quiet
[Arilyn] tiptoe
[Arilyn] and whisper
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] ::nods:: "Inside voices"
[Arilyn] shh...
[Kira (Beth)] ::stiffles a giggle::
[Arilyn] we could get you some hot chocolate
[Percival] Okay, team. I tried to block his attack and I couldn't. He hit me anyway.
[Arilyn] or camomille tea
[Kira (Beth)] We noticed... not a good sign
[Ghostly Voice] just go away
[Arilyn] and he has a pretty good ac
[Percival] Let's leave for now, okay?
[Percival] Spirit, we're leaving.
[Arilyn] if you stand still we could snd you to an enternal rest
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] ::shrugs and says to himself:: "I guess it's worth a try."
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] (1d10) [8] 8
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] Ramone moved 16'10".
[BiBo clone] Ramone targets Ghostly Voice. Distance: 11'04"
[Varn (Robert)] uhoh
[Percival] ::attempting to shuffle people out the door::
[Kira (Beth)] ::nudges Ramone:: I could go invisible ::in a whisper::
[Percival] uh-oh, yep.
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] Ramone: Attack #1: Black Death (charged): (15-(d20+5++0)) [15-(9+5+0)] 1. Probably MISSES Ghostly Voice (AC FINAL: -1)
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] Ramone: Attack #1: Black Death (charged): (15-(d20+5++0)) [15-(6+5+0)] 4. Probably MISSES Ghostly Voice (AC FINAL: -1)
[Ghostly Voice] two misses
[Arilyn] is there something visible for us to target
[Ghostly Voice] no nothign visible
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] ((well there is for me))
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] ((I cast see invis a bit back))
[Arilyn] so we're swinging blind
[Percival] Let's go, guys!
[Varn (Robert)] I'm with Hans
[Varn (Robert)] this guy is trouble
[Percival] Ramone, please?
[Arilyn] we can come back if you want.
[Ghostly Voice] what did you need Sir?
[Percival] Yes.
[Percival] What's that?
[Arilyn] who's he talking to?
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] "You to head off."
[Kira (Beth)] I DID vote to leave to begin with...
[Ghostly Voice] it seems to Percy
[Varn (Robert)] i think you said the magic word
[Varn (Robert)] hehehe
[Arilyn] maybe he only talks to Paladin types
[Percival] Please, can we go through this room?
[Ghostly Voice] yes of course Sir
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] No...
[Percival] (to spirit, of course)
[Varn (Robert)] say thank you
[Percival] ::chuckles::
[Arilyn] ((may we grammer boy))
[Percival] Percival moved 5'06".
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] ::grumbles and shakes his head::
[Percival] Percival moved 19'08".
[Percival] Percival moved 8'00".
[Percival] Percival targets Percival. Distance: 0'00"
[Arilyn] shh, Ramone. just zip it for now
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] "Kira, mind taking a look at this chest?"
[Kira (Beth)] the magic word
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] Ramone moved 11'09".
[Percival] Percival: Bend Bars/Lift Gate check: (d100) [25] 25 - ROLL FAILED against -1!!
[Varn (Robert)] may we all go through, please?
[Kira (Beth)] Kira: Find/Remove Traps check:(d100) [5] 5 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 95!!
[Ghostly Voice] Ramone moved 4'08".
[Percival] I actually made my check, DM.
[Ghostly Voice] Kira moved 23'08".
[Ghostly Voice] yes trapped and locked
[Percival] I don't know why it's trying to target against a -1...
[Ghostly Voice] fixing now
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] you probably put in %, fixing now
[Percival] I will never ever make that roll!::
[Ramone (BiBo clone) (to GM only)] Character sheet for Percival modified: Ability Scores - Bend Bars/Lift Gate:: CHANGED: 50 (50%). Combat -
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] yep
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] try now
[Kira (Beth)] Kira: Find/Remove Traps check:(d100) [79] 79 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 95!!
[Ramone (BiBo clone) (to GM only)] Character sheet for Ramone modified: Magic Item Summary - ADDED: Skeleton Shackles, , .
[Percival] Percival: Bend Bars/Lift Gate check: (d100) [91] 91 - ROLL FAILED against 50!!
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] there ya go. don't put a % in there
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] -1 generally means klooge is mad at you about something
[Percival] I don't know that I did anything there...
[Ghostly Voice] so the gate is still down
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] no on your sheet
[Percival] No, I made the first roll (25). I needed to roll a 50 or less...
[Arilyn] sorry, i already used my knock for the dat
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] you had a 50% as your bend bars
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] I changed it to just 50 instead of 50%
[Percival] right, BiBo clone-
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] so now it works
[Percival] Oh.
[Ghostly Voice] and gotcha Percy so yes you are able to lift the gate up
[Percival] But my roll initially was 25, which would have worked. I just re-rolled to make sure the settings were right.
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] yep, bob said it worked
[Kira (Beth)] Kira: Open Locks check:(d100) [79] 79 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 80!!
[Ghostly Voice] ok, so the trap on the chest is disarmed
[Ghostly Voice] and then the lock is opened
[Varn (Robert)] Varn moved 12'08".
[Varn (Robert)] Varn moved 12'09".
[Percival] ::Ramone, remind me to thank you for making me say please::
[Varn (Robert)] Varn moved 8'00".
[Kira (Beth)] Mr Ghost, may I please look within the chest?
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] ::snicker::
[Ghostly Voice] go ahead young lady
[Ghostly Voice] be my guest
[Percival] ::chuckles::
[Kira (Beth)] thank you
[Arilyn] so he's a ghost that likes manners
[Kira (Beth)] I open the chest
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] "Can you please tell me your name?"
[Ghostly Voice] inside is a potion of blue glowing liquid with a tag that says LIFE
[Ghostly Voice] I am the guard
[Percival] ::I should have said please earlier!!::
[Kira (Beth)] ::grins:: I rather thought it would be polite to ask since it may belong to him
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] can you please tell me what that potion is?"
[Ghostly Voice] raise dead
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] good to know
[Arilyn] sweet
[Varn (Robert)] can you please recite 'ode to a grecian urn'?
[Kira (Beth)] ah... May I have it, please? or would you like to use it for yourself?
[Varn (Robert)] hehehe
[Percival] ::heh heh heh::
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] "Don't think he can."
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] "I don't think he's a ghost."
[Kira (Beth)] it's still polite to ask :)
[Percival] What is he, then?
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] "He acts more like something that is summoned or created than an undead spirit."
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] "So he's what he says he is. A guardian."
[Percival] ::Anything else you want to check out in this room?::
[Varn (Robert)] ::anything else look good?::
[Kira (Beth)] I look to see if there is anything else interesting
[Kira (Beth)] panels, etc
[Percival] Let's check for traps on the south entrance whenever Kira's ready::
[Ghostly Voice] nothing seems to be of value in the room
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] "Can you please tell us if there is anything of interest to know about this room?"
[Ghostly Voice] none shall pass while I guard it
[Kira (Beth)] ((I did not get an answer to my request for the potion))
[Varn (Robert)] ((or my request for the poem))
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] "Can you please stop guarding it then?"
[Ghostly Voice] no poem
[Kira (Beth)] ::Grins::
[Ghostly Voice] and yes you can take the potion
[Varn (Robert)] damn it
[Ghostly Voice] adn no I can not stop guarding
[Ghostly Voice] it is a guard room
[Arilyn] could you please tell us what lies beyond this room?
[Ghostly Voice] a rom
[Kira (Beth)] ::bows:: thank you, Guardian
[Ghostly Voice] room
[Percival] Okay, let's go, team-
[Arilyn] could you please tell us what's in that room?
[Ghostly Voice] it is a room
[Ghostly Voice] there is nothing in it
[Percival] Let's go-
[Varn (Robert)] yes, let's
[Kira (Beth)] Is there ever anything in it?
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] ::ponders:: does this room look like that room south of the library bob?
[Arilyn] could you please tell us when you may stop guarding the room?
[Ghostly Voice] yes
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] oh. so fog in it then?
[Kira (Beth)] yes to which question?
[Percival] As Varn and I are standing right here, what do we see?
[Ghostly Voice] and I can not stop guarding
[Ghostly Voice] and it is the same misty fog from the room south of the library
[Arilyn] could you guard something else?
[Ghostly Voice] very similar to the rest of the square rooms in thsi place
[Percival] What does this misty fog mean, Ramone?
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] "Can you please tell us how to get past the fog in that room?"
[Kira (Beth)] Guardian, is there EVER anything in that room?
[Ghostly Voice] I have never been told to guard something in that room
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] "Well the last time we came across this fog, it stunned us when we tried to enter the room."
[Percival] Yeah, okay. Not good.
[Kira (Beth)] Has there ever been anything in that room?
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] "Didn't really hurt us, but kept us from entering."
[Arilyn] have you ever guarded anything else
[Ghostly Voice] I do not know if there has ever been anything in that room
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] "The fog probably guards something and has a way to be bypassed."
[Varn (Robert)] the fog is in the next room?
[Ghostly Voice] I am the guard room
[Kira (Beth)] thank you
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] ((ya))
[Varn (Robert)] gotcha
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] "Can you please tell us if there is a way to remove the fog in that room?"
[Ghostly Voice] I do not know
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] "Can you please tell us who would?"
[Ghostly Voice] the master
[Arilyn] do you know the cause of that fog?
[Ghostly Voice] no
[Kira (Beth)] We've been looking for the Master
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] "I'm guessing it's some sort of ward, might come down with a ward stone or command word of some sort."
[Percival] Anybody have dispel magic today?
[Varn (Robert)] could you please tell us where your master is?
[Percival] Maybe we could rest, get dispel magic, and try again tomorrow.
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] "Not I."
[Ghostly Voice] I do not know
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] "We did try that before though."
[Percival] To no avail, I'm guessing.
[Kira (Beth)] nope, I do have an unseen servant tho :)
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] "Yes, though you know how unpredictable dispelling magic can be."
[Varn (Robert)] this may sound stupid, but could we blow the fog away with a wind spell or something?
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] ::shrugs:: "I can try."
[Percival] That doesn't sound stupid to me.
[Percival] I am away from the keyboard.
[Kira (Beth)] unless it blows it around and toward us
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] Ramone: Gust of wind: I'm a big fan
[Kira (Beth)] ducks back through the doorway
[Ghostly Voice] and the fog blows away
[Ghostly Voice] gathers into the far side of the room
[Varn (Robert)] well there you go
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] anything of interest in the room?
[Ghostly Voice] seems to be reforming and then blowing away again
[Ghostly Voice] and no
[Ghostly Voice] nothing visible in the room
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] even with detect invis going?
[Ghostly Voice] nothing visible
[Ghostly Voice] nothign invis
[Kira (Beth)] Just that weird fog...
[Ghostly Voice] nothing out of the ordinate that ou can see
[Varn (Robert)] maybe a secret door or something
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] nothing astral, ethereal or out of phase?
[Kira (Beth)] ::comes back into room:: no trap doors or secret panels?
[Ghostly Voice] nothing that you can see
[Kira (Beth)] ::perplexed look::
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] are we able to enter the room at least without the stunnage?
[Kira (Beth)] toss a rat?
[Ghostly Voice] if you want to try to enter the room
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] ::cantrips a rat and tosses it into the room::
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] stunnage?
[Ghostly Voice] BLING, and stiffens and SPLAT against the floor
[Kira (Beth)] oooooh!
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] so.... there's some bling and then it explodes.
[Kira (Beth)] it got zapped?
[Varn (Robert)] so now we have a blinged-out flat rat
[Varn (Robert)] cool
[Kira (Beth)] Wow! Guardian, do you know what caused that?
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] so splat as in it's magically propelled to the ground or splat as in it just landed on the ground?
[Ghostly Voice] splat as it lands on the floor
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] you get your onomotopia license revoked bob
[Kira (Beth)] lands forcefully on the floor enough to go splat?
[Kira (Beth)] onomatopaea
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] your sounds suck
[Kira (Beth)] :D
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] like crash the sound of glass not breaking
[Kira (Beth)] ROFL
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] last I checked, crash is exactly the opposite of the sound of glass not breaking
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] now we have splat, the sound of a rat not splatting
[Ghostly Voice] it gets tossed into the room, get stunned and falls to the floor like a rock,
[Ghostly Voice] SPLAT
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] lord knows what he means by bling
[Ghostly Voice] no movement
[Varn (Robert)] so the fog is not the cause of the stunnage
[Varn (Robert)] hmmmmmm
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] apparently not. probably some illusion masking the room as well
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] could use paul right about now....
[Kira (Beth)] um... BOB... rocks don't go SPLAT
[Varn (Robert)] I disbelieve the illusion... do i still see it?
[Kira (Beth)] unless they hit liquid
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] that's more of a splash
[Ghostly Voice] you still see the room and the rat
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] not a splat
[Kira (Beth)] depends on the liquid
[Kira (Beth)] and how deep
[Kira (Beth)] (( <------ has tossed a lot of rocks in liquid ))
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] .... you know... this vaguely reminds me about a spell
[Kira (Beth)] ((grins))
[Kira (Beth)] ((pain pills kicking in))
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] it's got some similarities to guards and wards, though it's obviously not that. might have some basis on it though. maybe an alteration of the spell or an improvement of it
[Varn (Robert)] I hate to say it guys, but I need to get to sleep. I have to be at work at 6 tomorrow morning
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] suck!
[Kira (Beth)] AWWWW!!!
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] night robert!
[Varn (Robert)] soo. I bid all of you a hearty good night :)
[Kira (Beth)] nini
[Ghostly Voice] night robert
[Ghostly Voice] thanks for stopping by
[Arilyn] adios
[Arilyn] from Hans too
[Varn (Robert)] I'll be on again soon
[Ghostly Voice] good
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] yay
[Varn (Robert)] night :)
Robert has left the game on Fri Jul 27 22:02:35 EDT 2007
[Kira (Beth)] cool!
[Kira (Beth)] oh... too late lol
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] "Well, we have two options here. We can either try to figure out how to get past the ward in this room, or we can try and get past that watery death in the other unexplored room. I have a feeling we'll likely find another one of these rooms down that way eventually as well."
[Kira (Beth)] and how are we gonna get past/over that deadly 'water'?
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] "This seems safer to experiment on than watery death, but we may be missing a key or something for these stun rooms."
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] "Not a clue, but that doesn't mean we cant."
[Kira (Beth)] Guardian, is there a key for this room? one that turns off the stun/kill effect?
[Ghostly Voice] no
[Ghostly Voice] I guard this room
[Kira (Beth)] Can you turn it off?
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] ::ponders:: "Actually, passing the water may not be a deal."
[Kira (Beth)] We are guards too... we have guarded many things
[Ghostly Voice] I am the guard
[Arilyn] I am away from the keyboard.
[Kira (Beth)] I understand that you do your duty
[Kira (Beth)] You perform your function admirably
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] "Lets see if we can find a key or command word across the water area."
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] ::heads that away:
[Kira (Beth)] follows::
Beth is receiving the map Explored after first battle...
Beth has received the map Explored after first battle.
[Kira (Beth)] thank you, Guardian
[Ghostly Voice] you are welcome
BiBo clone is receiving the map Explored after first battle...
BiBo clone has received the map Explored after first battle.
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] so... about 20' across?
[Kira (Beth)] creating a stone bridge?
[DM] a little more but yes
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] Ramone: Wall of Stone: And up a wall goes
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] indeedly
[Kira (Beth)] ::smiles::
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] okay, so we have a 5' wide bridge. Now to test ::cantrips a rat and tosses it onto the bridge::
[DM] bounces along the bridge
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] "Seems safe enough."
[Kira (Beth)] it's walking the rest of the way and sniffing as it goes?
[Kira (Beth)] like a good little ratly?
[DM] it is alive
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] up until the point I use telekinesis to knock it into the water near the end of the bridge
Arilyn is receiving the map Explored after first battle...
Arilyn has received the map Explored after first battle.
[Kira (Beth)] :;sighs:: I don't know why you have to kill them if they don't die, Ramone... :(
[DM] and it splashes and dies
[Kira (Beth)] no liquid splashes up onto the bridge, does it?
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] "This is the first one that didn't die, but I just wanted to make sure about the water to see if it has any sort of ability to grab at us."
[Kira (Beth)] well, you could have just held it over the water...
[DM] no splashes up on teh bridge
[Kira (Beth)] ok
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] "Well, lets just move on across."
[Kira (Beth)] ok, I'll check the door on the other side
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] ::moseys::
[Kira (Beth)] Kira moved 38'00".
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] ::follows kira::
[Kira (Beth)] Kira: Find/Remove Traps check:(d100) [77] 77 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 95!!
[DM] no traps
[DM] door is locked
[Kira (Beth)] Kira: Open Locks check:(d100) [42] 42 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 80!!
[DM] open
[Kira (Beth)] is that a solid door? or is it a barred gate?
[DM] a gate down in front of a solid set of double doors
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] that locked/trapped too?
[Kira (Beth)] so, I can't see through into the room without opening the doors?
[DM] you can not see into the room
[Kira (Beth)] ok, do I have to check for traps on the solid doors also? and open locs also?
[DM] yes to open locks, you already did traps on it
Percival is receiving the map Explored after first battle...
Percival has received the map Explored after first battle.
[Kira (Beth)] ok, picking the second set of locks
[Kira (Beth)] Kira: Open Locks check:(d100) [73] 73 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 80!!
[Kira (Beth)] but not opening the door yet
[Percival] I am back at the keyboard.
[Kira (Beth)] do I see any switches or levers on this side?
[DM] so you have the gate and doors checked for traps and none
[DM] you have the both unlocked
[DM] but still down and closed
[Kira (Beth)] yes
[Percival] Percival moved 36'10".
[Arilyn] I am back at the keyboard.
[Kira (Beth)] I am looking for switches and/or levers or buttons or anything that looks like it might trip a bridge from this side
[Percival] Do you need me to open the portcullis?
[Kira (Beth)] or anyting else for that matter
[DM] the bridge is laying in ruins in teh watter
[Kira (Beth)] in a moment
[Kira (Beth)] ok
[DM] it used to be here, but the earthquake seems to have shattered it
[Kira (Beth)] are we ready?
[Percival] Yes
[Percival] Do I need to make any checks to open the portcullis?
[Kira (Beth)] Ramone, might want to be ready to levitate us if necessary... I'm just being cautious here
[DM] bend bars
[DM] you can wait till next week if you want
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] us?
[DM] no need to tackle right this moment if you want to hold off
[DM] and end earlier
[Percival] That's fine. I'm still missing a day of sleep so I'm really really tired...

[DM] Time of Day: 02:00 PM. Day 7 Mid ___ de, Sin {Late Summer} 7th, 1259.
[Percival] Tell ya what.
[Percival] I'll just open it since I'm here.
[Kira (Beth)] and Ramone can be ready to levitate him if necessary
[Percival] That is, I'll make an attempt. If it fails, we'll need someone else to do it.
[Percival] Percival moved 2'05".
[Percival] Percival: Bend Bars/Lift Gate check: (d100) [90] 90 - ROLL FAILED against 50!!
[Percival] Someone else needs to do it.
[Kira (Beth)] damn
[Kira (Beth)] ok, I can try, I think...?
[Percival] I only have a 50% chance to do that.
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] only he says
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] ::glances at HIS bb/lg::
[Percival] Just saying, it's not a 95% open locks check like Beth's...
[Kira (Beth)] right :D
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] Ramone: Bend Bars/Lift Gate check: (d100) [52] 52 - ROLL FAILED against 1!!
[DM] well there is a very small chance for most people
[Kira (Beth)] that was one of my luckiest rolls of the decade, I think lol
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] 10% is amazing for most :-P
[DM] Barry Bonds just homered against the Marlins
[DM] sighs
[Kira (Beth)] lol
[Percival] Did he just break Hank Aaron's record?
[Kira (Beth)] ok, so, I'll try
[Percival] Hank Aaron wasn't doped up, man.
[DM] not yet
[Kira (Beth)] Kira: Bend Bars/Lift Gate check: (d100) [9] 9 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 16!!
[Percival] All right, Kira!
[Kira (Beth)] ::giggles::
[DM] LOL
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] don't really see what doping has to do with .... well kira's doping
[Kira (Beth)] ROFL
[Percival] It obviously helped *her*
[Kira (Beth)] well, 20mg of vicodin does have a doping effect lol
[Percival] ::chuckles::
[Kira (Beth)] ::giggles::
[Arilyn] vicodin, nice
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] so we have it open then :)
[Percival] Okay, so it's up and we have some aching backs right now.
[Kira (Beth)] yeah, if it was doing more than taking the edge off the pain, I'd be happier
[Kira (Beth)] I still can barely walk
[Kira (Beth)] but, at least I can walk some
[Percival] So we can just pick up here next week, DM.
[DM] very well
[Percival] What happened to you, Beth?
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] I'll see you folks in a month
[DM] closed double doors and ready or not
[Percival] That's right, Marco's going to ITALY.
[Arilyn] a month?
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] what hans said
[Kira (Beth)] dunno... my lower back is badly out of whack with shooting pains down my left leg
[Percival] So, Kira's not just roleplaying the hurt back after that tremendous lift.
[Kira (Beth)] heh... no
[Percival] The player is actually hurt.
[Kira (Beth)] ::chuckles:: and has been for a week
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] well, do your voodoo jab thing that you did to make my back stop hurting :-P
[Arilyn] so Marco's not playing from Italy?
[Kira (Beth)] heheh, darlin' I would if I could reach it
[Percival] Christy had some problems with her sciatic nerve (sp?) with one (or more) of her pregnancies.
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] nah, probably won't have internet there
[DM] I do not think Europe is a good enough reason to miss a game
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] otherwise I would
[Percival] time difference is severe, too.
[Percival] Plus, aren't there *other* things to do while in Europe?
[Kira (Beth)] Marco! you'll be gone for a month??? :(
[Percival] Maybe we should just reconvene in a month.
[DM] lol
[Percival] We can't do this without Marco.
[DM] yes you can
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] yeap. well 3 weeks,
[Kira (Beth)] ::pouts::
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] I leave the 2nd and get back the 23rd
[Kira (Beth)] who's Kira gonna fight with?
[Percival] Awesome for you. I know Christy would love to go to Italy for 3 weeks...
[Arilyn] yep
[Kira (Beth)] me too, but that's not likely to happen lol
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] ::chuckles::
[Percival] I'm going to miss your anime game, Marco-
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] yeah, I really hope my computer comes back in one piece
[Kira (Beth)] oh! bigger pouts!
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] I'm gonna be pissed if I have to start from scratch
[Kira (Beth)] cusses a blue streak
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] definately no game this week though, comp is supposed to come back sometime while I'm gone
[Kira (Beth)] ::sighs:: ok, I'm gonna go kill stuff like orcs and ogres and trolls, and... stuff
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] suppose that gives yall a chance to figure out what to do about your currently jailed comraded :)
[Kira (Beth)] oh.. gnolls, that's what I'm hunting right now
[Percival] Yep.
[Kira (Beth)] yes
[Kira (Beth)] plasma cannon sounds good
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] ::grins::
[Kira (Beth)] Maybe by the time you get back I'll have Kira's sister rolled up
[Percival] Okay. Good night, all! I am going to get some much needed sleep. I missed sleep last night because I can't sleep on planes.
[Kira (Beth)] night, Hans
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] yeah, me neither. I don't look forward to the coming flight
[Ramone (BiBo clone)] nighty all
[Kira (Beth)] heh... me neither... the flight back from Florida was exhausting
[Arilyn] night!
[Kira (Beth)] night Marco
