xLorie has joined the game on Fri Mar 17 18:45:55 EST 2006
x[DM] thank you very much
x[DM] we will see where this takes us this evening
x[DM] I am planning on waiting to see if sean shows, and then go from there
x[Lorie] yup
x[Lorie] sure
x[Lorie] Hmm... I seem to have a bit of lag
x[DM] you do have a very high number right now
x[DM] but it is slowly droppin g
xLorie has left the game on Fri Mar 17 18:52:21 EST 2006
xLorie has joined the game on Fri Mar 17 18:54:11 EST 2006
x[DM] and there you go
x[DM] much better number
x[Lorie] Okay...trying again
x[Lorie] is the lag better?
x[DM] seems to be normal now
x[Lorie] great
x[DM] that was just as expected
x[DM] I wonder what you have there
x[DM] that is a problem
x[DM] too bad we do not know a network tech that could look at things for you
x[Lorie] yeah... Paul was on the phone last night AGAIN with Verizon
x[DM] it seems like you could get just as good connection with a laptop card from them
x[Lorie] yeah... I wish we had a laptop... I'd love to sit somewhere else to play
x[Lorie] less noisy
x[Lorie] the kids and dogs are really wound up tonight
x[Lorie] I'm not running AOL at all
x[DM] grins
x[Lorie] just Trillian and Klooge
x[Lorie] I shut down all the other processes
x[DM] ok
x[DM] seems to be a pain
x[Lorie] Well...we are getting rid of AOL in a few months
x[Lorie] so I'm trying t wean us off of it... but PDD and KID are reluctant
x[DM] waiting until the verison is fixed
x[Lorie] yeah
x[DM] so 1,000
x[Lorie] whoo hoo
x[DM] you are in roadhaven still
x[DM] you wanted to clear out how much of an area around the keep?
x[DM] shoudl I just call you put you on speaker phone for a bit?
x[Lorie] no... the phone will knock me offline
x[Lorie] we still haven't resolved that issue
x[DM] ok
x[Lorie] why am I clearing more land?
x[DM] I meant Thedd
x[Lorie] oh... probably that would be best
x[DM] how far out
x[Lorie] well... I would think we would want to keep the trade route clear right?
x[DM] well
x[DM] was not htinking that far out
x[DM] but around the area where the old manor house used to be
x[Lorie] then probably starting there and making a radius
x[DM] I was wondering just how far do you think you wanted to clear?
x[DM] out of the forest etc
x[Lorie] well... I want to salvage as many of the trees as possible, but probably need to sacrifice some to avoid ambushing
x[DM] that is the issue yes
x[DM] you will clear back how far?
x[DM] bow range is in hundreds of yards
x[DM] but that is too far
x[Lorie] probably at least 600 or 700 yards?
x[DM] I would say that 600 yards is a nice number for game mechanics as well
x[Lorie] great
x[DM] just so you know the cliff face has mostly colapsed, into one of those shell looking things
x[DM] do you know what I mean? after a volcano colapses, etc.
x[Lorie] :: nods :: yuppers
x[DM] so the top of that line
x[DM] and down and around
x[DM] 600 yards out from that hole in the ground
x[Lorie] ok
x[DM] we will consider it burned out
x[DM] fireballed,
x[DM] scorched earth etc.
x[Lorie] okies
x[DM] and then
x[DM] you still have that hole
x[DM] some boulders down there,
x[DM] have not gone back in yet
x[Lorie] Umm...can we cover up the hole rather than try and have more people fall in?
x[DM] that is the only way into thedd right now
x[Lorie] Hmm... Okay. can you explain to me what happened to Marco so I can avoid duplicating that?
x[DM] he looked down
x[DM] saw what you see on that map
xLorie is receiving the map Surface...
xLorie has received the map Surface.
x[DM] flew down into the hole carring
x[DM] antarias
x[DM] they both got mostly down then made a save versus petrification polymorph
x[DM] and Al failed
xSean has joined the game on Fri Mar 17 19:23:56 EST 2006
x[DM] Hey Sean!
x[Sean] owed at the house?
x[Sean] hm ...
x[Sean] So what's with this no one allowed at the house?
x[DM] you are allowed Sean,
x[DM] just did not want you to be here all alone
x[DM] as no one else is here,
x[Sean] Oh.
x[DM] that was the message you were supposed to get
x[Sean] Yes, that was the message.
x[DM] that you did not need to drive up here if you did not want to
x[Sean] ah
x[DM] so we were just discussing the plans for NOT getting turned to stone
x[Lorie] Hey Sean
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] Hmm ... I wield my +1 Nancy Regan "Just Say No" button
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] Hey Lorie
x[DM] grins
xSean is receiving the map Surface...
xSean has received the map Surface.
x[DM] so
xE. L. Fudge (Sean) breaks out his thread and needle kit
x[DM] you saw the bit I typed in Sean
x[DM] any suggestions?
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] Um ... nuke the site from orbit. That's the only way to make sure (and it has the side effect of leveling everything in site)
x[DM] chuckles
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] So, do we have a Staff of the Magi?
x[DM] no
x[DM] over the course of a couple of days
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] Darn.
x[DM] you did clear the land
x[DM] 600 yards around
x[DM] to eliminate archers etc
x[DM] see the boulders comeing from fartehr off
x[DM] you are in roadhaven
x[DM] Lorie?
x[DM] you still with us?
x[Lorie] I'm here... letting you recap
x[DM] I think I am done
x[Lorie] so can we turn the stone to mud and move along?
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] I don't think it's a question of can, but how much?
x[DM] what stone?
x[Lorie] the giant pink one in front of us.
x[DM] remember you only have this way down
x[Lorie] isnt that what turned marco to stone or the basilisk that is wating for us down there?
x[DM] something down there
x[DM] but if you just stone to mud
x[DM] you will colapse the hole
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] Then mud to stone, and we don't have to worry about anything.
x[Lorie] no... I meant the giant pink boulder
x[DM] which will work, but
x[DM] oh that is not there
x[Lorie] Okay... so do we need to stone shape stairs down or something?
x[DM] that was just to show the path
x[Lorie] Ahhh... okay
x[DM] stone shape will not work
x[DM] too many individual rocks, stones, etc
x[DM] grins
x[DM] I know you two are thinking
x[DM] I am here, not trying to push, to make you do anythign tonight
x[Lorie] No... I would probably air walk down there... but that wouldn't help Sean
x[DM] if you want to go slow with it,
x[DM] and of course Lorie you can bring anyone you want from your place
x[DM] Oh and totally out of left field, we stained teh last of the boards tonight also, now we can start cutting over the weekend
x[Lorie] congrats
x[DM] so
x[DM] did you want to go into that without any help?
x[DM] or are you waiting for next week mostly
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] So where are the Bobbsy Twins anyway?
x[DM] Mike is having a party
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] how dare he 8-)
x[Sean] I am away from the keyboard.
x[Lorie] well... I don't think we're going to accomplish much this evening
x[Sean] I am back at the keyboard.
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] I'm back.
x[DM] I do not want to sell you guys short
x[DM] I know you can take your time and get partway in
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] And then what?
x[DM] go as far as you want
x[DM] etc
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] I only have the one Nancy Regan "Just Say No" button
x[DM] or work on something else that you want to
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] Lorie?
x[DM] maybe Fudge wants to start his own theives guild out here in Thedd?
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] Not really.
x[Lorie] :: shrugs :: Well ... I guess..but I'm going to be pretty damn annoyed if I get turned to stone by one of the basilisks and can't do anything until next week ;)
x[DM] how would you avoid being turned to stone then?
x[Lorie] not be there?
x[DM] grins
x[DM] perhaps if the two of you brainstorm a non-magical way around this
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] And not knowing how they were turned to stone makes it difficult to plan against.
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] Gaze reflection?
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] Anti-magic shell?
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] Bribes?
x[Sean] I am away from the keyboard.
x[DM] true Sean, and al of the above work
x[Lorie] I don't have anti-magic shell...do you?
x[Lorie] and no gaze reflection either
x[Lorie] but agree with SPC that those are the right ideas
x[Sean] I am back at the keyboard.
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] no, don't have gaze reflection ... atl east ... I don't think I do
x[DM] I am not trying to be tooo quiet just trying hard not to force feed you anything
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] tually, I *do* have gaze reflection
x[Lorie] wow
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] Yeah ...
x[DM] grins
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] How does it work?
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] (seeing how I don't have any reference material on hand)
x[Lorie] umm...let me find the definition
x[DM] have it here for you sean also
x[DM] it is in front of the caster
x[DM] any attack that requires eye contact
x[DM] it moves with the caster
x[DM] so would be the right thing assuming this is a basilisk down there,
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] Okay, how does feather fall work?
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] I mean, if I'm carrying a large amount of weight, it'll still work, right?
x[DM] you have the mass of a piece of down
x[DM] a weight limit of 600 pounds
x[DM] sorry more
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] Okay ... what about Monster Summoning II?
x[DM] 200 pounds plus 100 pounds per level fo the caster
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] oh, then 1200 for me.
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] What types and how many?
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] (oh, and do we have any rope?)
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] (yes, I do ... 50' ... which should be plenty)
x[DM] summoning II gets you things along the lines o f
x[DM] giant centipede
x[DM] mudmen
x[DM] mongrelmen
x[DM] stirge
x[DM] troglodyte
x[DM] etc
x[DM] I have a list of 12 creatures
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] What's the largest, yet lightest creatures listed?
x[DM] you get a random creature
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] hmmm ....
x[DM] I would say the spider
x[DM] large spider
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] but I have no say in what I get ...
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] hello?
x[Lorie] Well... let's see... I have Command Monster and Monster Mount
x[Lorie] BOB?
x[Lorie] Sean is talking to you....
x[DM] sorry
x[DM] right
x[DM] no say
x[DM] was reading teh list
x[DM] seeing what the possiblities are
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] okay, are there any dead creatures near us?
x[DM] yes,
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] (switching tactics here)
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] What type, and how many?
x[DM] days old hobgoblin and goblin bodies
x[DM] jsut about as many as you want
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] okay, good.
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] Oh, how long does a potion of invisibility last?
x[DM] same as the spell
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] Which is?
x[DM] 24 hours or until you attack
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] okay.
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] Here's my idea.
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] I drink the potion of invisibility (which I have). I pick up a dead goblin, then jump into the hole. Cast feather fall on myself. When I get about 10-15 feet above where the flect-to-stone attack occurs, I drop the goblin body and see where the attack comes from.
x[Lorie] okies
x[DM] sounds reasonable
x[DM] but you can cast feather fall before you jump if you want also
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] I then lob my fragile globe of maybe poison at the source of the attack.
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] okay.
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] If that doesn't work, I then unleash the Wand of Magic Missile.
x[DM] you know from their description and looking down
x[DM] there is a pile of boulders down there
x[DM] so actual openings that they saw
x[DM] no
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] oh, and I also cast gaze reflection on myself before jumping down (falmost forgot to mention that)
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] no?
x[DM] no actual openings
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] oh, no actual openings.
x[Lorie] and I bless him just in case
x[DM] meaning when you get down there
x[DM] you will see a pile of rubble
x[DM] boulders etc
x[DM] you knwo that now
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] okay, slight change of plans. Drop the body, see where the attack is. Land, and work myway round to the source. Then attack.
x[DM] one flaw I feel I shoudl point out
x[DM] if it is a basilick attack
x[DM] the goblin will not turn to stone
x[DM] because it is an eyesight thing
x[DM] and dead people do not see
x[DM] if it is a wand attack
x[DM] then it will work
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] Well, is there a goblin or hobgoblin that's still (barely) alive?
x[DM] not near by
x[DM] this is a couple of days after you last visited
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] if not , no problem. It will give us one more piece of information.
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] so, final plan.
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] Cast gaze reflection on myself. Cast feather fall on myself. Pick up dead goblin body and jump. Release body and watch for attack. Land and go from there.
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] crap.
x[DM] how so?
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] Drink potion of invisibility. Cast gaze reflection. cast feather fall. Pick up dead body. Jump. Drop body. Then land and go from there.
x[DM] sounds reasonable
x[DM] with a bless as well
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] Yup.
x[DM] just the two of you there at the moment?
x[DM] normal one round behind people ? no one else from Roadhaven?
x[Lorie] ??
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] I don't see John, Marco or Mike here?
x[DM] nope
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] Then I guess it's just the two of us. Unless Lorie has some of her followers here.
x[DM] exactly what I am asking
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] Then why didn't you say so? 8-P
x[DM] in case of emergency,
x[DM] break out
x[Lorie] I didn't plan to bring any, but if you think clerics would be valuable
x[DM] and she has her clerics in little cases
x[DM] I like the plan
x[DM] want to move?
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] I'm as ready as I'll ever be.
x[DM] E. L. Fudge moved 66'10".
x[DM] Kylia Wolfslayer moved 91'08".
x[DM] Alastair, Finglass and Antarias moved 82'04".
x[Lorie] I make with the blessing
x[DM] E. L. Fudge moved 34'00".
x[DM] and you land on the floor
x[DM] make an observation check
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] I drink the potion, cast gaze reflection, feather fall, pick up the body, drop it.
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] and land.
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] nope, don't have observation.
x[DM] ok
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] What else can I roll? And what happened when I dropped the body?
x[DM] nothign happens when ou drop the body
x[DM] you land and look around
x[DM] and I have to make a roll, but you woudl not notice it
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] okay ... I'm not noticing you making a roll
x[DM] checking a percentage on that gaze reflection
x[DM] Roll #1: (d20) [3] 3
x[DM] ok,
x[DM] so you stand there on the bottome
x[DM] E. L. Fudge moved 1'00".
x[DM] there you go Fudge, i fyou want to go to the new map
x[DM] and Lorie if you want to see him down there
x[DM] when you recover
x[DM] she has bad lag again
x[Lorie] and I won't notice either ;o)
x[Lorie] Go ahead and send it to me Bob
x[DM] it is small
x[Lorie] I got it
x[DM] another BOB masterpiece
x[Lorie] you draw as well as I do
x[Lorie] I love it ;O)
x[DM] Sean?
x[DM] ok, Lorie?
x[Lorie] yup....
x[DM] ok
x[DM] I know what he wants to do,
x[DM] gaze reflection is still up
x[DM] it stays up for a few more rounds
x[Lorie] Can I then cast Air walk and head down? I'll bless myself and I have my firdle to help notice evil :O)
x[Lorie] firdle = girdle
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] okay, I'm back.
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] Sorry ... talking to the boss (I'm still at the office)
x[DM] gaze reflection will not help Kylia
x[DM] oh, sorry Sean
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] no problem ...
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] so, other than a ton of circles, what else is down there?
x[DM] thsoe are the magnificent Boulders
x[DM] and you are on solid ground underfoot
x[DM] with a dead goblin body next to you
x[DM] the dashed lines are the approximate hallway dimensions
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] ah.
x[DM] to give you an idea of scale
x[DM] and if you woudl hve make your observation roll,
x[DM] grins
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] okay, I head to the left.
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] E. L. Fudge moved 21'09".
x[DM] E. L. Fudge moved 16'09".
x[DM] wall of boulders there
x[DM] but I will let you make a wisdom check
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] then how did I see the hallway dimensions?
x[DM] on top of a find traps roll
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] E. L. Fudge: WIS check: (d20) [3] 3. PROBABLY SUCCEEDS against (6) [6] 6!!!
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] Hah!
x[DM] they are there to give you an idea of the size not the real hallway
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] oh.
x[DM] Roll #1: (d20) [1] 1
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean) (to GM only)] E. L. Fudge: Traps: (1d100) [20] 20 -- Traps don't bother me!
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] okay, ther's my find trap roll.
x[DM] ok
x[DM] so you find a moving boulder
x[DM] that slides back and forth
x[DM] and out from behind that hole
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] Oh, hello Mr. Basilisk.
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] Here, have some poison.
x[DM] it can not attack you, it is a couple of feet inside of the rock
xE. L. Fudge (Sean) lobs the fragile globe of possible glass at it.
x[DM] actually Sean
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] Yes?
x[DM] as you get ready to do that
x[DM] you notice that it is not moving
x[DM] it failed its save
x[DM] on your gaze reflection
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] Woot!
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] I go in and check to see if there are any more.
x[DM] how?
x[DM] a wall of boulders
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] How big is the hole I found?
x[DM] hey, Marco just showed up
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] Hey Marco!
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] oh, he's not in the game yet.
x[DM] the hole is about 1 - 2 feet in diameter
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] oh.
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] oh, I have an idea ...
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] but it'll have to wait a second ...
x[Sean] I am away from the keyboard.
xBiBo!!! has joined the game on Fri Mar 17 20:50:15 EST 2006

x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] okay, I'm back.
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] I summon the djinni, have him clear the rocks away.
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] then back into the ring he goes.
x[BiBo!!!] I think sean was a sha'ir in a former life
x[DM] ok
x[BiBo!!!] your next life should be a sha'ir :)
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] 8-)
x[DM] so I will say that it takes him about 1 turn to clear the rocks
x[DM] out of the way
x[DM] Alastair moved 6'08".
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] I should still be invisible, right?
x[DM] Kylia Wolfslayer moved 19'06".
x[DM] Alastair moved 1'03".
x[DM] ok
x[DM] why would you be invis?
x[DM] oh,
x[DM] sorry
x[DM] I moved you to another map
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] Um ... becuase I drank a potion of invisibility?
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] that lasts 24 hours or until I attack (and I"ve yet to attack)
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] 8-)
x[DM] oh yes
x[DM] is everyone back up to speed?
x[DM] I know there are lag issues with Lorie,
x[DM] there is a new map with the four characters on it
x[Lorie] I'm here...but I see only a basilisk on a map
xLorie is receiving the map New Thedd Section A...
xLorie has received the map New Thedd Section A.
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] And I shoudl still be down in the hole with the dead basilisk

x[Lorie] I can't even save it... that's how big it is
x[DM] it is not supposed to be anywhere near that
x[DM] 144 kilobytes
x[DM] is the image size
x[Lorie] :: shrugs :: between Klooge and the map it's 98MB
x[DM] ok
x[Lorie] Okay... let's move it along to our uncertain doom
x[DM] well you have this hallway in front of you
x[DM] to the sides are the scars where the boulders where
x[DM] Basilisk #1 moved 2'00".
x[DM] Basilisk #1 moved 1'00".
x[DM] there is your stoned basilisk
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] Duuuuuuude.
x[DM] becaue of the issues tonight I will not put the other images up
x[DM] btu i do have the paper maps scanned extra
x[DM] that will be later
x[DM] so for now
x[DM] barren hallway
x[DM] lots of foot prints in the dirt
x[DM] the walls are scraped and scared
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] Leading?
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] Leading which direction?
x[BiBo!!!] there's only one direction :-P
x[DM] the only way to go
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] So all the foot prints lead down the hall?
x[DM] yes
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] And non, say, scraming this way to get out?
x[DM] they are all in this area also
x[DM] woudl need tracking to know which way they were going
x[BiBo!!!] I don't need tracking, they're going the only way they CAN go
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] Bob, I've never been camping in my life, but *I* know enough to know which way footprints are going ...
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] well, anyway ...
x[BiBo!!!] seeing as how there's one direction
x[DM] so marching order?
x[Lorie] I can go in the middle or back, no preference
x[BiBo!!!] 10' wide?
x[BiBo!!!] how about we go 2x2 me and fudge up front, junpier and kylia in back
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] measuring tool says 10'
x[Lorie] ok
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] sounds good to me.
x[BiBo!!!] Alastair moved 18'04".
x[BiBo!!!] E. L. Fudge moved 14'09".
x[BiBo!!!] Kylia Wolfslayer moved 4'10".
x[BiBo!!!] Juniper moved 2'09".

x[DM] at a
xBiBo!!! has joined the game on Fri Mar 17 21:30:28 EST 2006
x[DM] is that an upset?
x[Lorie] NC State over cal? In theory... 7 loses to a 10 rank.
x[DM] ok
x[Lorie] But in reality... NC State should win everytime... ACC is stronger than West Coast teams

x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] I'm try ing to roll ... but the !@#$@#$! dice menu is too @#@!#$sensitive and keeps disappearing on me
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] @$$@ kLoOge

x[Lorie] I made...not complaining, but I guess it was the Klooge ghosts :O)
x[DM] ok,
x[DM] so the webs go up in flames
x[Sean] I am away from the keyboard.
x[DM] you see two bolts of lightening ricocet around inside of the room
x[DM] but they do not affect the two people out front
x[DM] after a few moments
x[DM] the flames die down
x[Lorie] any idea what caused the bolts?
x[DM] make a knowledge check
x[Lorie] Kylia Wolfslayer: KNO check: (d20) [15] 15. PROBABLY FAILS against (13) [13] 13

x[DM] you do remember stories of living webs in this dungeon
x[DM] they use lightning as an attack form
x[DM] as well as if you get too close they can try to infiltrate your skull
x[BiBo!!!] heh. joy. I'm guessing using lightning on them doesn't do much
x[BiBo!!!] do we know what hurts them?
x[DM] fire
x[BiBo!!!] fire in the hole!
x[DM] all the webs in this room are burned away after a few rounds
x[Sean] I am back at the keyboard.
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] Nice try Bob.
x[DM] so going in?
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] Who, me? Oh heck no.
x[BiBo!!!] I'll go
x[BiBo!!!] Alastair, E. L. Fudge and Kylia Wolfslayer moved 19'09".
x[Lorie] We're all going Silly Fudge
x[BiBo!!!] sweet, I love this dungeon, we see the traps automatically :)
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] 8)
x[DM] those are open pits
x[Lorie] We do have a master th...err wizard in our midst, I'm not surprised ;D
x[DM] the doors seem to be fallen in on them
x[DM] revealing pits, spikes, skeletons,
x[DM] Juniper moved 21'01".
x[Lorie] okies...which way now... West, North or SE?
x[BiBo!!!] guess we'll head over to the non trapped area
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] That would be SE I guess.
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] (heh ... check this guys tatoos: http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/0130063tattoo1.html)

x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] um ... my map dissappeared
x[BiBo!!!] Alastair, E. L. Fudge and Kylia Wolfslayer moved 30'10".
x[BiBo!!!] load the new map sean
x[DM] E. L. Fudge moved 19'00".
x[DM] Kylia Wolfslayer moved 15'07".
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] I'm trying ...

x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] E. L. Fudge: Initiative:(d10+10) [2+10] 12
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] I seem to be unable to load the map
x[DM] you are showing normal Sean
x[DM] Lorie is stilll lagging on loading the map
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] okay, how the hell did the map get all the way over there?
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] (way over on another virtual screen of my virtual desk top)
x[DM (to GM only)] Door #1 moved 1'07".
x[Lorie] Okay...we're at the door
x[BiBo!!!] check for traps trap man
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean) (to GM only)] E. L. Fudge: Traps: (1d100) [94] 94 -- Traps don't bother me!
x[DM] E. L. Fudge moved 3'05".
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] Have I mentioned how much I hate kLoOge?
x[DM] never
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] okay, you have my roll
x[Lorie] It's my fault SPC... my slow connection is probably causing everyone else grief
x[Lorie] sorry
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] No, it's kLoOge. If you so much as move too far, the popup menus disappear
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] trying to get to the dice menu is annoying
x[DM] so there is a simple dart trap on the locked door
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] (hey, come back here! No, I want the menu! No, don't go qway! Come back! Arrrrrrrrrrh!)
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] ah.
x[DM] and you can make your roll to disarm
x[BiBo!!!] why don't you use the dice panel?
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] @#$#$~ DICE MENU @#$!#$#$@$
x[BiBo!!!] so much easier
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] because my stupid trap roll expression isn't ON the supid dice panel thingy
x[Lorie] Okay...so he happily disarms the trap and it kills the Klooge Dice Bot and we all live happily ever after :O)
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] screw it
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] (d100) [32] 32
x[BiBo!!!] sure it is
x[DM] Marco will look for you Sean
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] I bloody well make it!
x[DM] good
x[BiBo!!!] E. L. Fudge: Traps: (1d100) [30] 30 -- Traps don't bother me!
x[DM] now you still have a locked door
x[BiBo!!!] click on the dice panel, click on custom
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] Where, pray tell, is "custom"?
x[Lorie] Kylia Wolfslayer: Open Locked Door: (d20) [17] 17 -- FAIL
x[BiBo!!!] when you bring up the dice panel, it's the last tab on the right
x[Lorie] HUH?
x[Lorie] I don't like that
x[BiBo!!!] right after the thingy that looks like a wand
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] Oh, one of two tabs that are totally unmarked.
x[Lorie] I should make it... I have 18/00 strength and I rolled a 17... that makes, right?
x[Lorie] Or am I confused?
x[DM] checking lorie on that number
x[BiBo!!!] yes, you're confused
x[Lorie] ok
x[Lorie] I'll be confused :O)
x[BiBo!!!] it's an open locked door check, not a str check :-P
x[DM] the chances at a locked door are pretty small
x[DM] so you need to roll like a 6 or lower,
x[Lorie] okay...
x[BiBo!!!] dunno why you don't wait for thiefy to try pick it though :-P
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] That's because the thief has a totaly broken dice panel
x[Lorie] :: shrugs :: no reason in particular, mostly because I cliicked on the wrong button :O)
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] E. L. Fudge: Pick locks: (1d100) [27] 27 -- Click-it's open now!
x[BiBo!!!] and there we go
x[Lorie] Yeah Fudge!
x[DM] and you are still invis also Fudge, I have not forgotten
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] (no, I'm telly ou Bibo, not all the tabs are marked on my dice panel)
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] thanks.
x[BiBo!!!] strange
x[BiBo!!!] mine are
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] Perhaps we have different versions
x[BiBo!!!] nah, if you had a different version than bob, you wouldn't be able to get on at all
x[Lorie] tabs? On the dice panel?
x[BiBo!!!] it would give you a message to either update or have him update
x[BiBo!!!] Alastair: Open Doors check: (d20) [2] 2. PROBABLY SUCCEEDS against (10) [10] 10!!!
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] Tabs, on the dice panel

x[DM] E. L. Fudge moved 5'00".
x[Door #1] hello visitors
x[Lorie] Is that like Snakes on the Plane?
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] (to Lorie---yes)
x[Lorie] Visitors? I'm sorry... I think you might be conrfsed...but welcome Visitor!
x[Alastair (BiBo!!!)] Helllo?
x[Door #1] no, I am one you are many
x[Door #1] so you are plural
x[Lorie] Well in this language, it's easy to confuse one singular and one plural, but you are still a visitor. How are you enjoying Thedd? See any basilisks lately?
x[Alastair (BiBo!!!)] Alastair: Detect Invisiblity: Peekaboo! I see you!
xE. L. Fudge (Sean) waves at Alastair
x[Alastair (BiBo!!!)] the room is talking...
x[Door #1] yes I supose it is confusin g
x[Door #1] if you were to just stay in one place for a while
x[Door #1] maybe you would see things in a simpliar way
x[Door #1] rather than doing all that walking around
x[Lorie] I tried that... it was painfully boring
x[Alastair (BiBo!!!)] Why is the room talking?
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] (maybe if the dice panel didn't keep taking keyboard focus)
x[Lorie] Is this the room with the talking door?
x[Door #1] thank you
x[Door #1] you remembered me
x[Door #1] that is very nice of you
x[Door #1] have we met before?
x[Lorie] Yes... years ago
x[Door #1] ahhh
x[Lorie] You remember my colleague here ... Mr. Fudge
x[Lorie] And these are new associates.
x[Door #1] actually I do think I know you,
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] (I'm invisible)
x[Lorie] So... do tell... how is it that you've managed to remain all this time
x[Door #1] but you did not look like that?
x[Door #1] and who did you just refer to?
x[Door #1] do you have an imaginary friend?
x[Lorie] Yes... real ones are too perishible
x[Door #1] perhaps you have been wandering too long?
x[Lorie] I've found the imaginary ones last longer
x[Door #1] (LOL)
x[Lorie] :: shrugs :: Well... I tried to get back her sooner, but it got overrun with evil
x[Door #1] EVIL
x[Lorie] :: sniffs :: not that it seems to be all that glorious now
x[Door #1] they like it like that, not evil, but EVIL
x[Alastair (BiBo!!!)] ((you mean there was a time when it WASN'T overrun with evil?))
x[Door #1] they seem to like that nice ringing tone to it
x[Lorie] ((It was only MOSTLY evil... now it's NEARLY evil))
x[Alastair (BiBo!!!)] ((now it's nearly rubble :-P))
x[Lorie] :: shrugs :: Me... I really think they could stand to have some good or even neutrality about them
x[Door #1] well
x[Door #1] I do suppose
x[Alastair (BiBo!!!)] Alastair: Detect Evil: any evil?
x[Door #1] nope
x[Lorie] :: points at Alastair :: He's over there...
x[Lorie] So... what are you hiding on the other side these days?
x[Door #1] well today I might have a magic pool
x[Alastair (BiBo!!!)] Might?
x[Door #1] or maybe a lake that takes you to your dreams
x[Lorie] Wow... time has been good to you I suppose
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] E. L. Fudge: Pick locks: (1d100) [47] 47 -- Click-it's open now!
x[Alastair (BiBo!!!)] so, either way, it's magical water
x[Lorie] Either way... it sounds so much better than what's on this side
x[Door #1] or it oculd be an evil temple to a god of rodents
x[Lorie] No pool that turns gold to lead though I pray
x[Alastair (BiBo!!!)] there's an entire god of rodents?
x[Door #1] not that I know of
x[Lorie] That, my friend, was not a pleasant trip
x[Door #1] and of course
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] (sorry about that spurious dice roll, dice panel had keyboard focus)
x[Door #1] there is that large rat god
x[Alastair (BiBo!!!)] seems a rather specific thing to be a god of
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] (See, kLoOge is @#!@#$up)
x[Lorie] :: turns :: There are lots of rats down here if I remember
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] (Ah, must be a Disney outlet nearby)
x[Lorie] So... will you be kind and let us through?
x[Door #1] well I suppose if you really want to go through you could
x[Lorie] ((You're the ones living in Florida... all the co-workers flocking to Disney this time of year ))
x[Door #1] but you should really give me something
x[Lorie] well... there is a giant stone basilisk you could hav
x[Door #1] and what did you want ?
x[Lorie] have
x[Door #1] a stone basilisk is not really easy to carry around
x[Lorie] ((I asked them to bring me back Zephyrhills and Publix subs... alas, I got neither ))
x[Lorie] true... when's the last time you were on walkabout?
x[Alastair (BiBo!!!)] we don't really want anything in particular, we're just exploring this area and you're stopping us from doing that at the moment
x[Door #1] I have not been walking in a long time
x[Lorie] You could have the windbag that wants to be my suitor... I think he has gold silverware
x[Door #1] oh?
x[Door #1] you have a boy friend?
x[Door #1] that must be nice
x[Lorie] No. I don
x[Lorie] 't
x[Door #1] to have people want you
x[Lorie] I said ... wants to be
x[Door #1] is he cute
x[Alastair (BiBo!!!)] She doesn't like to talk about him
x[Lorie] I don't want him at all... he's rather evil I'm afraid
x[Alastair (BiBo!!!)] it embarrasses her
x[Door #1] I knew this wonderful tree once
x[Alastair (BiBo!!!)] He's not evil, he's just a jackass
x[Door #1] but he turned otu to be an Ash
x[Alastair (BiBo!!!)] le sigh
x[Door #1] why would you be embareesed
x[Door #1] it is nice to have someone want you
x[Lorie] I just want him to go away
x[Alastair (BiBo!!!)] at least you didn't find out it was yew
x[Lorie] FAR FAR FAR away
x[Lorie] :: shakes head -- UGH ::
x[Door #1] a yewish carpenter
x[Door #1] so why are you back here?
x[Door #1] and why do you want to go through here?
x[Lorie] I want to clear out the evil
x[Lorie] I want to see what's on the other side
x[Door #1] i seem to remember you were going to meet someone ?
x[Alastair (BiBo!!!)] it's a disorder really. we find ourselves compelled to explore every inch of this hole.
x[Lorie] There is a nasty rumour that the lich has met his maker
x[Alastair (BiBo!!!)] which includes the area behind you unfortunately
x[Door #1] which lich?
x[Alastair (BiBo!!!)] the one who makes bets with a necromancer and refuses to pay them back
x[Lorie] Oh... the one that used to live on the other side of the living wall and past the lieutenant
x[Door #1] I have never met him
x[Alastair (BiBo!!!)] you should, he's a riot I'm sure
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] (you mean there may be more than one here?)
x[Lorie] From what I've heard... it's probably not a loss
x[Door #1] but I hear he is still really upset
x[Alastair (BiBo!!!)] and by riot I mean he starts them whenever he's near a crowd
x[Door #1] someone broke something of his
x[Lorie] Do you know another lich in here?
x[Door #1] there was someone who came here about a year ago?
x[Door #1] maybe less
x[Door #1] 6 months?
x[Door #1] it is hard to tell
x[Door #1] but he seemed to be concerned about sneaking around
x[Door #1] and hiding
x[Lorie] Oh my
x[Lorie] sneaking and hiding?
x[Door #1] yes
x[Lorie] Well that's not really in the Thedd spirit now is it
x[Door #1] no
x[Door #1] most evil is just out right evil
x[Lorie] :: nods :: True
x[Lorie] I am guessing that not many of the creatures came to chat with you?
x[Door #1] well
x[Door #1] not too many want to stay and talk
x[Door #1] they are not nice that way
x[Door #1] they just come here
x[Door #1] demand to know where the gold is
x[Door #1] where the temple is
x[Door #1] where the pool is
x[Door #1] sighs
x[Door #1] it is not much fun
x[Lorie] Ahhh... the usual
x[Lorie] No... we are just trying to re-map the area for ourselves.
x[Alastair (BiBo!!!)] do you really know where anything is down here? I mean I doubt you get around much to go see any of them for yourself
x[Lorie] Luckily, the deities and fates have been kind and gold isn't the pressing issue it once was for us
x[Door #1] well I know what is behind door number 2
x[Door #1] adn behind door number 3
x[Door #1] and of course I am door number 1
x[Alastair (BiBo!!!)] what would be behind the doors then?
x[Door #1] what will you give me for that?
x[Alastair (BiBo!!!)] I won't tell a knock knock joke
x[Door #1] do you know any good ones?
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] (oooh, threaten him with the banana knock-knock joke)
x[Alastair (BiBo!!!)] there is no such thing
x[Lorie] ((Oooh... tell him the Ida one!)
x[Alastair (BiBo!!!)] Knock knock
x[Door #1] whose there
x[Alastair (BiBo!!!)] Huge
x[Door #1] huge who
x[Alastair (BiBo!!!)] Who joo expect?
x[Door #1] cute
x[Door #1] so what did you guys want?
x[Alastair (BiBo!!!)] to know what's behind the doors
x[Door #1] which door?
x[Lorie] :: looks at Al:: This one or that one?
x[Alastair (BiBo!!!)] all of them
x[Alastair (BiBo!!!)] does that mean you want another knock knock joke?
x[Door #1] do you want to know the way to the pool?
x[Door #1] or the way to the temple?
x[E. L. Fudge (Sean)] E. L. Fudge: Pick locks: (1d100) [81] 81 -- Click-it's open now!
x[Alastair (BiBo!!!)] what sort of pool is it?
x[Door #1] a magic pool
x[Alastair (BiBo!!!)] what's it do?
x[Door #1] I don't know I have never talked to her
x[Alastair (BiBo!!!)] does she talk then?
x[Lorie] Wait ... is this the one that makes you feel different?
x[Door #1] I guess she does
x[Lorie] ((i.e. modifies stats?))
x[Door #1] I do not know
x[Alastair (BiBo!!!)] well, I suppose if she talks we should go see how friendly she is. who knows, she might want to be friends with a certain door we know
x[Door #1] I wonder
x[Door #1] I don't have any real friends
x[Door #1] they just come and go
x[Door #1] no one ever stays
x[Alastair (BiBo!!!)] the pool wouldn't, shall we go ask her if she wants to be your friend?
x[Lorie] Well... if you let us through and we can start cleaning up the evil... you might have more visitors
x[Lorie] and more visitors means more conversation and more chances for you to find a permanent friend
x[Door #1] that would be nice
x[Door #1] so if you go out the north you will get to the temple
x[Lorie] :: nods :: North to the temple.
x[Alastair (BiBo!!!)] they're both north
x[Door #1] if you go back east you can find the hallways that go to the pool
x[Door #1] the other one goes to the lake
x[Door #1] it is mostly dried up now
x[Lorie] Lake, dried up?
x[Lorie] Wow... I wonder what happened to our old boat... :: sighs ::
x[Door #1] yes there was a big shaking
x[Lorie] :: points :: North through the door ...
x[Door #1] and it seems to hvae caused some changes
x[Door #1] yes North
x[Lorie] Ahhh...that was the necro mancer tyring to off the lich I believe
x[Door #1] Kylia Wolfslayer moved 2'01".
x[Lorie] Okay then..thank you for your time... It was great to speak with you again. You'll see us soon I'm sure
x[Door #1] I hope so
x[Lorie] So... Mr. Fudge, could you check for traps and open this door please ?

x[Lorie] I'm rather tired tonight.
x[Alastair (BiBo!!!)] heh, sure why not
x[Door #1] do you want to open the door just in case Sean is not here to start?
x[Lorie] okay talk to most of you Sunday
x[Lorie] :: shrugs :: i cant and need to head out
x[Alastair (BiBo!!!)] sure
x[Lorie] so...can't keep eyes open
