Ordeal in Ordon, Session 2

<DM> *Last time! You all came to Ordon Village at the same time coincidentally, hearing about some call for help against Moblins. After witnessing multiple guards get injured or killed firsthand, you arrived at the scene of the battle and completely annihilated the Moblins, though some of you almost died yourselves. Afterwards, you met with Mayor Milo, the new mayor of Ordon as a temporary for the ill Mayor Bo.*
<DM> *Milo tells you that ever since he took over as Mayor, there've been increased attacks from the Moblins, as they attack to no end every single single day. Even with the help of the new guards, Ordon is still getting overwhelmed, which is why Milo has asked for your help. He asks you to meet with Fado, though before you do, you decide to go hit the sack at the inn, where you encounetered an indefinitely long loading screen. My god, the terrors.*
<Nimono> the horror!
<AbsentThirdEye> Loading screens? Meh, seen enough of them
<DM> -=QUEST CONTINUE!=-
<DM> *You all awaken to the [painful] morning sunlight filtering through the dusty windows of your rooms. You feel well rested and recovered to full hearts/magic.... HOW DO INNS DO THAT?*
<DM> *Whatever. There's a knock on each of your dooms, followed by a familiar voice... I forgot, did we name that one guard?*
<Lunaria> no idea
* Flareclaw yawns as he stretches the sleep away.
<DM> *It's NotInjuredGuard! .... annnd he's so getting a name.*
* Nimono literally rolls out of bed and falls to the floor
* Tyria_Lazzen is sound asleep
<DM> *Nimono, you take 1 damag- I'm kidding.*
<DM> *On each of your rooms. ........
<DM> come on, 3 minutes in, and I'm already making typos....
<Flareclaw> (How can a knock be on a room?)
<DM> ......
<DM> *He knocks on the doors of each of your rooms.*
* Nimono groggily opens the door
<DM> *Or your dooms. Whichever you prefer.*
* Flareclaw face-claws.
<Lunaria> don't you mean dorms?
<DM> *Rooms. Dorms. Dooms. Etc.
<Nimono> (WHATEVER LET'S MOVE ON PLS)
* Flareclaw opens his door and face-claws once again.
<DM> kay, I'm throwing an arbitrary name on him
<Lunaria> BUT IT'S CLEARLY OR DESTINY!
<Lunaria> our*
* Lunaria opens her door and yawns
* Tyria_Lazzen is still asleep, reluctant of the plot
<DM> *The NotInjuredGuard's name is now Tros. ... I really need to get a set of names set up next time.
<DM> [Tros]: Good morning, all of you folks. Get a decent rest?
<Nimono> *yawns* yeah... still kinda sleepy, though
<DM> [Tros]: Well, you have roughly... *he looks out a window to check the sun's position in the sky* ... about 5 hours until the Moblins make their daily attack. Can't quite figure out why they always attack the same time every day...
<Nimono> ...oh dear.
<DM> *For the record, 5 hours does not equal 5 hours real-time.*
<Lunaria> huh, that sounds weird
<DM> *Or else I'd shoot myself.*
<Nimono> very
<Nimono> ((brb))
* Flareclaw scratches his head, puzzled by that fact.
<DM> *Tyria suddenly shifts to zombie auto-follow mode.*
<DM> [Tros]: Is there anything you folks were going to check out before the attack?
* Flareclaw makes his way down to the lobby of the Inn and exits, stage left.
* Tyria_Lazzen wakes up
<DM> *And Tros has already been ignored by Flareclaw the Party Splitter.*
<Lunaria> uh, I think it was someone we were supposed to meet up with...?
* Lunaria is clearly still half asleep
<DM> [Tros]: Hmm.. was it perhaps-
<DM> *At that moment, with Flareclaw leaving the inn, all of you hear a very loud voice booming throughout the whole village:
<DM> [Voice]: HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!
<DM> (I blame Twilight Princess.)
<Nimono> ((back))
<Lunaria> ._.
<Lunaria> ...so noise-y
<Nimono> ...this is making me want to go back to bed...
<DM> *Flareclaw, a little bit east of your position, you see a large man waving at you, next to some goats that are yet-again trying to sneak their way out of the ranch.*
* Flareclaw , startled by the loud voice, turns to look towards the direction it came from.
<DM> *And I pre-emptively called your action. WHOO!
* DM hides.
* Flareclaw kicks DM out the window.
* You have been kicked from #zurpg by Flareclaw (You have been kicked out the window and you landed on a conveniently placed fence! Ouch, you might not be able to have kids now... «19,156»)

* Nimono sighs and leaves the inn, thanking Tros for waking him up
* DM lands on the ranch's fence.... that's magical.
* Tyria_Lazzen moves out of the inn of inns
<Nimono> lunaria, you coming?
<Lunaria> yeah sorry
* Lunaria sludges behind slowly
* Flareclaw begins cautiously walking towards the ranch.
<DM> *Nimono attempts to leave the inn first and then ask someone inside the inn if they're following. LOGIC!
<Nimono> (it's called yelling!)
* Flareclaw face-claws.
<DM> *You all ditch Tros and roll out of the inn, with Flareclaw already on his way to the ranch, reluctant of the plot.*
<Nimono> (poor tros)
<Nimono> so, which way was the ranch...?
* Lunaria shrugs
<DM> *Flareclaw, despite your reluctance of potential plot devices, you arrive at the entrance of the ranch first. Beyond the wooden fence that I painfully got kicked onto, you can see a large pasture with lots of goats roaming around, some even fightin' and colldin' with each other. The large man at the entrance greets you. He's about your height.*
<DM> *For the rest of a you, one of the ranch's goats wanders towards you. Looking in its direction, you see your party-ditching friend is already meeting with the big man at the entrance of the ranch.*
<Nimono> oh, there it is! *heads in the direction of the ranch*
<DM> *The man introduces himself to Flareclaw as Nimono arrives, albeit a bit away.*
<DM> [Fado]: Greetings! I'm Fado, the goat herder! You must be the new folks in town, yes?
* Flareclaw nods a yes.
* Lunaria catches up and waves to Fado drowsilly.
<DM> [Fado]: Hey, that's great! I heard you folks beat them Moblins down pretty good, yeah?
<Nimono> we did
<DM> *Fado notices you folks and waves back. He'd yell another HEEEEEEYYYY- but I've decided not to make him Navi The Gerat One.*
* Flareclaw face-claws at the typo.
<DM> .....
<DM> GOD DANGIT
<DM> it's Navi, I ain't correctin' dat fairy crap
<Lunaria> It was close but, I think we managed to hold or own against them.
<DM> [Fado]: Great, mans! Good to know we can get all the helps we can get, yeah?
<DM> [Fado]: I heard from the estranged Mayor *he coughs suddenly* that uhh... you folks wanted to see me, yeah?
* Flareclaw nods.
<Nimono> yeah... the mayor recommended we talk to you
<DM> [Fado]: Huh, kinda surprised. I mean, I'm not his biggest fan, and I'm sure he's not mine, hahahah!
<DM> *When he laughs, it's quite loud, almost deafening you folks.*
<Nimono> huh? whaddya mean?
<DM> [Fado]: Well.. let's speak a little further in. I've got a shack at the back o'er thar, ya see?
<Lunaria> um, yes?
<DM> *Fado points to the far back of the pasture, where there is indeed a shack. Flareclaw, you can see it clearly. For the rest of you, a bunch of god darn goats block your view.*
<DM> *He goes ahead and heads back there.*
* Nimono shrugs and follows
* Flareclaw walks towards said shack, ignoring the goats.
<DM> *You folks follow Fado to the shack at the back. .... what's with my rhyming today.*
<DM> *Anyhow, you reach the shack, which has a number of random tools inside. I'm gonna choose not to describe them to prevent you guys from wondering how they'd work as actual tools for ZURPG.*
* Flareclaw points at the gate to the ranch as he's walking face-first into the shack.
<DM> [Fado]: Ah, sorry it's a bit dusty in here, haven't had da chance ta clean it properly with all the Moblins causin' havoc an' whatnot!
<DM> *He looks at you, Flareclaw.*
<Lunaria> that's fine, I think
<DM> [Fado]: Whatcha pointin' at there, buddy?
<DM> *Tyria, still zombie-mode, slams face-first into the wall of the shack before actually entering the shack.*
* Nimono sneezes from all the dust
<Nimono> ah...sorry...
<DM> *Fado closes the shack door. Great, now it's dusty AND stuffy in here.*
<DM> [Fado]: Sooo... any of you folks noticin' anythin'... oh I dunno, weird? I know you folks are new 'round 'ere, but it just don't feel like home anymore.
<Lunaria> the major seems a bit odd... also the sickness that have spread at such a convenient time...
<DM> *Major Milo ftw.*
<Nimono> yeah, something about the mayor is off
<DM> [Fado]: Yeah yeah, that's what I thought too! It's not right for Bo to be sick for so long... he's nearly as strong as I am, and I ain't a lick o' bit of sick!
<DM> [Fado]: What's really trippin' me up is the new guards....
<DM> [Fado]: I think Tros is the only one of the old guards that ain't sick, I think ye folks met him already, good man 'e is...
* Flareclaw nods..
<DM> [Fado]: But them new guards, they just... seem so... stiff. I dunno how ta explain it man, you folks tried talkin' to any of 'em?
<Lunaria> Uh, there was that one that seemed very dedicated to his faiths
<DM> [Fado]: Faiths, eh? Better hope they're not some weird knockoffs of them Followers of Wisdom I heard 'bout in Hyrule City!
<Nimono> ...yeah, he was kinda weird
<Nimono> ...I don't really wanna think about him anymore
<Nimono> we did meet Tros, though. actually, we...had to save his life when we first got here
<DM> [Fado]: I'm glad ye did, 'e's a good man, a good man 'e is...
<DM> (And he's repeatin' himself.)
<DM> [Fado]: Anywho, make sure no one 'ere's what I'm about to-
<DM> *Suddenly, there's a loud knock on the door, followed by a rather strict voice.*
<DM> [Guard]: Hey, it's the guards, open up!
<DM> [Fado]: ... ugh, not this again.
<Nimono> ...uh?
<Lunaria> But we aren't decent!
<DM> *Fado looks rather crestfallen.*
* Lunaria smirks
<DM> (wat)
<Lunaria> (lying, mate, lying)
<Nimono> ...
<DM> *Fado reluctantly opens the door. Great Flareclaw, you've even made an NPC reluctant of the plot!*
* Flareclaw face-claws.
<Lunaria> (it seemed like a good idea to buy time. :I)
<DM> [Fado]: *looking at the guard* Again, man?
<DM> [Guard]: *stiff as a board* Yes, sire! You're to report to Mayor Milo to help with construction!
<DM> *The guard just now notices the rest of the party in the shack.*
<DM> [Guard]: Err... to help with..... something, sir!
<Lunaria> Construction?
<DM> [Fado]: Yeah, construction of-
<DM> [Guard]: Outsiders do NOT need to know!
<DM> [Fado]: Hey, they're the ones that helped us-
<Lunaria> I thought Fado was supposed to help us with dealing with the moblins?
<DM> [Guard]: Outsiders do NOT need to know!
<Lunaria> Surely we can borrow him today.
<DM> *He is... unfortunately, this Guard is being a douchebag.*
<DM> [Guard]: ... you can borrow him after he's done helping.
* Flareclaw stands up and snaps his claw.
<DM> *Fado flexes his arm like he's about to punch the guard down, but he loosens up and decides not to.*
<DM> [Guard]: *noticing Flareclaw* What do you want, lizard?
<Nimono> *whispers to lunaria* (i don't think this is going to end well...)
* Flareclaw casts Psi Flare, upon the guard. ($18d10 v. Wisdom)
<Flareclaw> $18d10
<Navi> Flareclaw: You rolled 18 Dice with 10 Sides. Result: 9, 10, 8, 5, 7, 7, 5, 8, 1, 4, 7, 7, 2, 1, 5, 4, 9 and 2. Total: 101. Successes: 13.
<DM> (whelp, this'll go well)
<Lunaria> :<
<Nimono> (WELP)
<DM> (gimme a sec to bring in shells)
* Lunaria groans
<Flareclaw> Damage, +0; Neutral Damage: 2.
<Lunaria> it's way too early for this...
<OrdonGuard> $7d10
<Navi> OrdonGuard: You rolled 7 Dice with 10 Sides. Result: 5, 9, 8, 4, 9, 7 and 8. Total: 50. Successes: 6.
* Tyria_Lazzen just falls back asleep
* OrdonGuard is hit by the PSI Flare as he catches on fire for a moment.
<Lunaria> (RIP)
<DM> (not quite...)
<OrdonGuard> 13 - 6 = 7 - 3 = 4 + 2 (neutral damage) = 6 damage
<Nimono> this isn't good...
* OrdonGuard survives the burning pain from the spell, hanging on with 4 hearts. He falls to the ground for a moment before standing back up, his sword aimed at Flareclaw.
<OrdonGuard> You... how DARE you! You're supposed to be helping us!
<DM> *Fado stands between Flareclaw and OrdonGuard.*
<DM> [Fado]: Oh no, I'm so sorry man, it won't happen again!
* Lunaria facepalm
<Lunaria> why
<DM> *Fado turns towards you folks, dropping his voice down low.*
<DM> [Fado]: Please, investigate with less.. force. They may be hindrances, but they're holding the Moblins off... we don't need the village overrun by Moblins.
* Nimono glares angrily at Flareclaw
<DM> *Fado turns back around to the guard.*
* Flareclaw glares angrily at the guard.
<DM> [Fado]: Let's go.
<DM> *Fado and the guard leave. As they do, you guys notice Fado flick a note backwards.*
<DM> *The note falls to the ground, almost trampled by an oncoming goat.*
* Lunaria grabs it
<DM> *You grab it, and it reads:
<DM> "CHECK GUARDHOUSES. FADO GREAT SPELLING AT!*
<DM> *Whelp, his spelling is fine... his grammar... eeeehhhh
* Tyria_Lazzen wakes up again, reluctant of the plot
* Flareclaw decides to let this one go, ... For Fado.
<Lunaria> welp
<Lunaria> check out the guardhouse?
* Flareclaw nods in agreement.
<DM> *So, in Ordon Village, there's two guardhouses, the West one at the entrance across from the Inn, and the East one, which is right next to where you fought yesterday.*
<DM> *CHOOSE YOUR CHOICE! By the way, if you party split, I'm only gonna cover one group at a time.*
<Lunaria> Try and not attack things that arn't openly hostile, I'd prefer a less bloody approach, if possible.
<Tyria_Lazzen>  /me will follow whichever way at least two people will go to, because plot
* Flareclaw exits the ranch, and heads straight ahead.
* Tyria_Lazzen will follow whichever way at least two people will go to, because plot
* Lunaria heads after the other two
<DM> *Kay, straight ahead based on the exit of the ranch means.... West Guardhouse!*
<DM> *As you head over to the West Guardhouse, you can see Fado from across the river bowing repeatedly to Mayor Milo, probably as a result of the guard's burns from earlier.*
<DM> *At the West Guardhouse is none other than your trusty guard dude, Tros!*
<DM> [Tros]: *sees you folks coming over* Hey, why is the guard escorting Fado covered with burns?
<Nimono> ((back))
<Lunaria> Don't ask, it's a long story
<Lunaria> Buuuuut!
<Lunaria> Since we are here, can you give ous a tour of the facility?
* Lunaria points at the guardhouse
<DM> [Tros]: Ah, but of course!
<DM> *Tros unlocks the door with a key and opens it, wandering into the guardhouse.*
* Flareclaw follows Tros into the guardhouse.
* Lunaria follows too
<DM> [Tros]: It's not too much, mainly just an armory for gearing for batte. It's also a barracks for restin', it's actually where the guards sleep at night. We've been meanin' to renovate and get some actual houses for the guards, but Milo's been havin' Fado construct... somethin'. I dunno the details.
<DM> *You enter the guardhouse, and you're immediately met with an array of swords, shields, and armors on a set of racks lined up against the wall. There's also a few doors to the north wall.*
<Nimono> hopefully you guys will get those renovations soon!
<DM> [Tros]: Yeah, I hope so too. Now, what I can't figure out....
<DM> *Tros holds up one of the swords.*
<DM> [Tros]: Is why Milo had all the gear in here switched out. I mean, Ordon gear was better than this! Why would we be using these "Doran's Blades" instead of Ordon Swords?
<DM> [Tros]: He wouldn't even let me keep mine, so I'm stuck with the new gear. Gah!
* Lunaria looks around
* Flareclaw walks up to one of the doors and attempts to open it.
<Lunaria> but if all this stuff is here... and the sleeping arrangements are too. Then what is in the other one...?
<DM> *Let's see, there's four doors. Three of them are clearly labeled "BARRACKS". The other one has no label. Which one did you try to open, Flareclaw?*
* Flareclaw is curious about the unlabeled one.
<DM> [Tros]: Oh, that one's just the toolshed. It's kinda like Fado's shack, but not as dusty. ... though it's kinda disorganized. I dunno, I can't find anythin' in there lately.
<DM> *Kay, you attempt to open the unlabeled one, and lo and behold, all you see a bunch of random undescribed tools scattered all across the floor. Actually, it's scattered so densely, you can't even see the middle of the floor.*
<Nimono> that's...way past disorganized...
* Flareclaw digs in to the random stuff all over the floor, looking for a possible clue..
<Nimono> uhhhhhhhhhhh...flareclaw, do we even have time for that?
<Nimono> plus, shouldn't you have asked permission before diggin through someone else's belongings...?
<DM> [Tros]: Hey, you guys don't have much time, I can get to it eventually, you don't have to worry about-
<Lunaria> Sooo... Tros. What's in the other guard house if all this stuff is here?
<DM> *You dig in, and as you move the random stuff around, Flareclaw, your claw happens to scrape against a metal surface beneath the tools... despite the fact the Guardhouse is a stone building.*
<Nimono> eh? what was that noise?
* Flareclaw attempts to uncover the metal surface.
<DM> [Tros]: You know, I.. really don't know. The West Guardhouse is my post, so they only have me here.
<Lunaria> But you have served here for years?
<DM> *You've uncovered a trapdoor, Flareclaw! In other words, beyond this door lies.....  A PLOT DEVICE!*
<DM> [Tros]: Yeah, but they've been... constructing something over there, lately.
<Lunaria> (more like a plot... HOLE! :DDD)
<DM> (touche)
* Flareclaw tries to swing open the trap door.
<Nimono> *peeks in on flareclaw* flareclaw, what was that noise I just heard...? ...???
<DM> *It's.... locked.*
<Nimono> ...what are you doing.
<DM> [Tros]: *looking towards Flareclaw* Wait, what is that?
<DM> [Tros]: Where did THAT come from?
* Flareclaw ... stands up and looks at Tros with a puzzled look on his face.
<DM> [Tros]: Huh, this... door wasn't here a week ago!
<DM> *He goes over to investigate the door.*
<Nimono> that's odd
<DM> [Tros]: Hmm, it's got a handle, it's locked... but there's no lock? How the heck do you open this thing?
<Lunaria> I think there is more than just moblin attacks going on in this town Tros, can we count on your help?
<DM> [Tros]: *turning to Lunaria* Yeah, definitely! I'm all behind you guys, this... this isn't right.
<Nimono> no lock, huh? that means it's locked from the other side
<DM> [Tros]: Well.. there's always plan B.
<Nimono> plan B?
<Lunaria> What if weld it open?
<Nimono> B for Bust It Open?
<DM> *Tros takes his sword and attempts to stab at it.*
<DM> (yep!)
<Nimono> ...yup, thought so!
* Flareclaw hastily steps to the side.
<Tros> $8d10
<Navi> Tros: You rolled 8 Dice with 10 Sides. Result: 2, 9, 5, 6, 2, 1, 8 and 4. Total: 37. Successes: 4.
* Tros stabs at the trapdoor, but his sword bounces off.
<Tros> Argh, WHY DID THEY SWITCH TO THESE CRAPPY SWORDS?!
<Nimono> hey, lunaria. that spear you got. do you think maybe that could help out?
<Lunaria> mmmm I guess I can take a stab
* Lunaria giggles
<Nimono> take a STAB at it? dohohohohohoho
<Lunaria> (let me get the roll)
* Tros stares blankly at you two.
<Lunaria> $8d10
<Navi> Lunaria: You rolled 8 Dice with 10 Sides. Result: 3, 2, 8, 9, 1, 9, 5 and 4. Total: 41. Successes: 4.
<Nimono> ...oh.
<DM> what's the damage modifier on that stab attack?
<Nimono> +4
<Lunaria> +4 on hit
<DM> *You also stab it! ... it still doesn't budge.*
<Lunaria> well, I can try blowing it up with bombs?
<Lunaria> but I think we'd have structual damage
<Nimono> yeah, please don't use bombs
<Tros> Wait, bombs?
<Lunaria> yeah I have bombs
* Lunaria holds up a small bomb
<Tros> Any chance you've got cherry bombs? The explosion is small enough that it shouldn't affect the room.
<Tros> Ehh... screw it, try the small bomb.
<Lunaria> uh, okay I guess
<Tros> Everyone, let's get outta the room for a bit.
* Flareclaw retreats into the main room.
<Nimono> uhh, maybe we could try to contain the explosion with our shields??
* Nimono retreats as well
<Lunaria> $8d10
<Navi> Lunaria: You rolled 8 Dice with 10 Sides. Result: 2, 6, 7, 5, 5, 2, 9 and 4. Total: 40. Successes: 5.
* Tros ignores Nimono's suggestion as he runs into the main room.
* Tyria_Lazzen follows
<Lunaria> +4 + 2d2 damage
<Lunaria> $2d2
<Navi> Lunaria: You flipped 2 coins. Values: Heads (1) and Tails (2). Results: 1 Head (1) - 1 Tail (2).
<Tros> (It actually does a flat amount of damage, not based on difference in successes. However, bombs tend to be more effective against these sorts of things.)
<Lunaria> (oh)
<Tros> *You toss the bomb at the trapdoor. I'm assuming you get to the main room and close the shed door as well.*
<Lunaria> (well duh)
<DM> (... why am I saying that with Tros)
<Nimono> (it didn't happen! you CLEARLY said it all with DM :3)
<DM> *Right as you close the door, the bomb explodes, and you can hear Michael Bay cheering from beyond the fourth wall. The structure shakes a bit, buuut nothing collapses, as far as you can tell.*
<DM> (yay!)
* Tros attempts to open the door, but it just comes off its hinges.
<Nimono> poor door.
<Nimono> needs new hinges.
<DM> *The door is pulled off to reveal the smoking, blown up remains of the trapdoor. ....... annnnnd all those tools that were inside kinda got smoked and turned to ash as well.*
<Nimono> I told you...
<Nimono> (ugh brb)
<Tros> Ehh, Fado's got more of those anyways.
* Flareclaw dives into the newly uncovered opening.
<DM> *Annnd there goes any reluctance of the plot!*
* Lunaria whistles
<Lunaria> these are stronger than I thought
<DM> *Flareclaw, you dive down, skipping the ladder that's there and land at the bottom of about a 10-foot drop... actually, roll Courage.
<Nimono> (back)
<Flareclaw> $5d10
<Navi> Flareclaw: You rolled 5 Dice with 10 Sides. Result: 2, 6, 8, 9 and 9. Total: 34. Successes: 4.
<Nimono> and once again, flareclaw jumps right in without thinking...
* Nimono climbs down the ladder safely
* Tyria_Lazzen levitates down the ladder
<DM> *Flareclaw, you land with a bit of pain in your legs as you take 1 Neutral Damage. Nimono gets down without the fall damage.*
* Lunaria climbs down after Nimono
<Flareclaw> 7h, 9m.
<DM> *You all arrive safely, save for some pained lizard legs, in a very dark hallway with no light.*
<DM> *Thankfully for you, I got Lunaria's Innate Skills done earlier today, so she should be able to see in the dark.*
<Nimono> ...did anyone bring a light?
<Nimono> (please, someone make the reference...)
* Flareclaw turns to Nimono and snaps his claws.
<DM> (I dunno, that can refer to a number of things, unless it's a specific circumstance, what with the dark hallway...)
<Nimono> ...uhhh?
<Lunaria> (so what do I see?)
<DM> *Lunaria, you look down the hallway, just in time to see two bat-like figures flutter away at the turn at the end of the hall.*
<DM> *Err, technically the corner of the hall, not the end... whatever.
* Tros is still up in the guardhouse. He hollers down to you folks.
<Lunaria> keese, why did it have to be keese
<Tros> Hey, what's down there?
<Lunaria> Some sort of passage!
<Tros> Wow... since when was there somethin' under Ordon? Man that's weird...
<Tros> Hey, I'll hold the fort up here and make sure you folks aren't discovered!
<Tros> Good luck down there!
<Nimono> thanks!
<Nimono> good luck hiding this
* Flareclaw attempts to walk down the hallway, in the dark.
<DM> *With that, Tros disappears, and a bit later, you hear the varied attempts at a door being put back in place. It grates on your ears, defeaning you once again today.*
<DM> *Flareclaw, you walk down the hallway... annnd given you can't see crap, you eventually walk face-first into a wall eventually.*
<DM> *Lunaria, you see the hallway makes a turn to the left.*
<Nimono> guuuuyyyyysss, don't leave me behind... ;_;
* Nimono sits down and waits, unwilling to move due to being unable to see in the darkness
* Flareclaw face-plants into a wall, and starts feeling around for the way to go.
* Lunaria takes Nimono's paw to guide him
<Nimono> ah...thanks, lunaria...
* Tyria_Lazzen attempts to move about, but darkness is kill
* Lunaria heads onward into the tunnel
<DM> *Kay, you feel around, and you make a left, Flareclaw. You continue forward... until you walk face-first into yet another wall. Lunaria, as you head in, you see that your lizard friend has faceplanted against a door.*
<Lunaria> that's not how you open doors
* Lunaria giggles
<DM> *Tyria, you bounce around from wall to wall until you catch up to the rest of the party, now in a bit of a daze.*
* Lunaria attempts to open it
* Flareclaw face-claws.
<DM> *The door opens. On the other side, THERE'S LIGHT, HOLY CRAP!
<Nimono> AAAAAAAAAH IT'S BLINDING
<Tyria_Lazzen> Ow
<Lunaria> (bright light!)
<DM> *Two torches on either wall of the next room illuminate the chamber, which has what appears to be a wall of prison bars. Behind that, there's about 5 people lying there in despair.*
<DM> *As the people notice you, the lights suddenly cut out, and you're left in the darkness once again.*
<Nimono> agh!
* Lunaria sturides the prisoners
<Lunaria> studies*
<DM> *They appear to be various villagers from Ordon. One of them, a female, is wearing what appears to be Ordon armor.*
<Nimono> (shouldn't only lunaria be given this info, in private, since she's the only one that can see in darkness?)
<DM> (meh, it's fine)

<DM> -=FIELD EFFECT!=-
<DM> DARKNESS: Anyone that can't see the dark loses 3 Dice when attacking or defending.
* Lunaria grabs a torch from the wall and gives to flareclaw
<DM> to clarify, Field Effects affect everyone. They can be cast by spells, but sometimes they're just caused naturally.
<DM> *Suddenly, as you give the torch to Flareclaw, something creeps up in the darkness and attempts to Sneak-Up on Flareclaw!
* Flareclaw grabs the torch with one of his claws.
<DM> $5d10
<Navi> DM: You rolled 5 Dice with 10 Sides. Result: 2, 4, 3, 4 and 9. Total: 22. Successes: 1.

<Nimono> WHAT DO I DO?! D:
* Nimono flips the heck out
<Nimono> (no seriously, what do I do?)
<DM> *Lunaria, as you're the only one that can see, they appear to be a set of the new Ordon Guards, but their skin has a blue tint to it, and their eyes are red. ... why is it anyone with red eyes has dark vision?*
<DM> *Nimono, Tyria, and Flareclaw still cannot see crap.*

<Nimono> (HEY! Nimono has red eyes, but he doesn't have night vision... also should I roll to join the battle or not, considering I can't see?)
<DM> (You can join the battle, but because of the field effect, you've got -3 dice on attacking/defending.)
<Lunaria> (you have other senses other than sight, ya know?)

<Lunaria> (oh yeah support spell nvm)
<DM> (Support + Combat actions)
* DarkOrdonGuard2 lands a rather painful slash, bringing Flareclaw to either death or near death, dunno what his armor is.
<DarkOrdonGuard2> EFFECT: Once per turn, when you successfully hit a target with a single target attack, target gets one stack of the Scaling Defense Down Affliction:
<DarkOrdonGuard2> Target loses # Defense Dice, where # = your Total Affinity Levels.
<DM> (Aka, -2 Defense Dice)
* Flareclaw is OHKO'd.

<Lunaria> 2 vs 3 and they are higher levels
<DM> *Flareclaw has opted not to use his fairy as he remains cut in half on the ground.*
<Nimono> (...we're definitely doomed. I guess since he removed himself, I can't even try to revive him with Seed of Life?)
<Deadclaw> (You can.)
<DM> *Technically, it's an even fight. Players get +10 stat points over enemies, so +2 levels = they're on even grounds. The downside is, well... darkness.*
<Nimono> (ok good)
<DM> *Planning Phase begins! 10 minutes on timer, starting time is :07
<DM> if yer not in #zurpgteam, get o'er thar
<DM> reminder, DARKNESS FIELD EFFECT: Anyone that can't see in the darkness loses 3 dice when attacking/defending, so factor that into yer rolls... except vision-hacking Lunarnia.
<DM> *The two DarkOrdonGuards mutter in some weird language to each other. None of you have a clue what it is.*
<DM> *Enemy actions set, send yer actions in!
<DM> *Got.. let's go with 4 minutes on timer.

<DM> (lemme double check)
<DM> yes, so you can defend this attack instead of Nimono if you choose to
<Nimono> (...???????????????????????????????????????????? "Open Wounds"? that's not on this list of things it can do...)

<Lunaria> this is a bleeding effect right?
<Lunaria> so it should go away  on my turn?
<DM> yeah, kinda
<Nimono> no, it doesn't go away on your turn
<DM> uhh, do you have something to protect against bleeding?
<Lunaria> Mending robe: EFFECT: Once per round, at any time, you can remove one stack of Bleeding (or any variation of it) that you have.
<Nimono> says here: goes away only when healed 5 hearts
<Nimono> oh
<DM> yeah, let's go ahead and say Mending Robe can work on Open Wounds
<Nimono> also maybe you should remove it now since it drains 2 hearts per turn
<DM> I'll have to modify Open Wounds later...
<Nimono> oh no wait
<Nimono> nevermind
<Nimono> it says start of each round
<DM> lol
<Nimono> coulda sworn it said "every turn"
<Lunaria> yeah I remove the stack now then.
<DM> *You start bleeding, but with the powers of your robe, you suddenly stop bleeding. Convenient.*
<DM> *DarkOrdonGuard1 gets cocky and goes for a Stab attack with his Doran’s Blade on Lunaria! ($10d10 vs. Courage), +0 Damage, Siphon 2 Hearts (ignoring armor) + Scaling Defense Down

<Lunaria> poop
<Lunaria> I have 4 armour
* DarkOrdonGuard1 lands the hit successfully, adding yet another stack to defend down, and siphoning 2 hearts... not that DarkOrdonGuard1 actually heals it.
<DM> *The power from the Doran's Blade still causes you to lose 2 hearts, since the siphoning effect ignores armor.

<Nimono> pay? how much does it cost? ;D
<DM> (AN EXCELLENT QUESTION)
<DM> (I've actually used this enemies before.)
<Lunaria> (these*)
* Flareclaw face-claws.
* DarkOrdonGuard1 fails to calculate the cost and loses one more heart from Nimono's inquiring.
<Nimono> muahahahaa
<DM> *Flareclaw, you attempt to face-claws, but instead, your seed of life just.... rustles slightly.*

<Lunaria> oh
<Nimono> (LET'S GO ALREADY.)
<DM> *Flareclaw, your revival flares a spark in your core as you fling a deafening blast of doom at DarkOrdonGuard2 right as a sword is flung from the prison. The sword impales DarkOrdonGuard2 from behind right as the blast strikes. It causes the sword to literally explode inside of DarkOrdonGuard2, whose body disintegrates in a deadly reaction to death.
