  1. [6:18 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: If anyone wishes, tell us, what happened last time?
  2. [6:19 PM] Faerie: >Multitask
  3. [6:19 PM] Faerie: Hard.
  4. [6:19 PM] §upposition: I did recap last time, I leave it to someone else
  5. [6:19 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Yeah. Cultists that abuses the pretense of religion and does human trafficking and worse. Had to fight them regularily in my nightmare.)
  6. [6:19 PM] Faerie: (I wanted to recap, but I'm eating with mom and sis right now)
  7. [6:20 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Alright, well.
  8. [6:22 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Concerned for your wayward guide, Shadow Jager the whatever-he's-calling-himself, who you were separated from after a particularly foul run-in with undead, you have left the Complex in the divine guidance of the paldins that you freed from the Axoim - which turned out to be just one of the shards of the shattered Wand of Orcus, sentient, too.
  9. [6:23 PM] Faerie: (Here comes the ploot twiiiiiist)
  10. [6:23 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Thanks to less than stellar guidance, you've found a Temple of Mielikki, of which was under attack by undead. Having rescued the priest(ess), Arisa, you made a friend, and moved on, back toward the Prison that you left.
  11. [6:25 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: In the Prison, talking with the Dwarf, and presenting the facts that you have together, along with the Shard's embarrassing past being revealed by Shadow, you've learned a few things: That the world was accidentally destroyed by a lecherous Hero... Whose soul somehow seems to have ended up within the Shard of Wand of Orcus that you've been carrying around. Also, he's Shadow's father.
  12. [6:26 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Between a renewed Shadow Jager, who's shadow-y-er than ever, and the Shard which seems to be twitching and vibrating at its dark past, your adventure once again starts from this point....
  13. [6:27 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... of course, in the underground prison.
  14. [6:27 PM] §upposition: Denalthir watches the Shadow Jaeger and his long lost father-shard interact and smiles a bit, before considering their next move. She regroups with the others in order to make a plan.
  15. [6:28 PM] Faerie: (Thanks for the recap :happypopo:)
  16. [6:28 PM] Mizuki: Alicia materializes on the prison near her party - "Sorry about that, did I miss something?"
  17. [6:29 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Washroom?" Recelle says, almost a bit slyly, grinning.
  18. [6:30 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Teasing aside, Recelle is here as always.
  19. [6:30 PM] Faerie: Razmik looks at Alicia, still amused at Shadow's display, and glances back to the shard.
  20. [6:30 PM] Faerie: sssip
  21. [6:30 PM] Faerie: (You missed f r e e e x p)
  22.  
  23. [6:31 PM] Mizuki: "Suure" - Alicia answered smiling - "Also, I wanted to show you this!"
  24. [6:32 PM] Mizuki: She presents the pistol she crafted to Recelle smiling - "It's like a short version of your musket. Less powerful, but faster to load and easier to carry"(edited)
  25. [6:33 PM] Kaperis: (>Faster >musket)
  26. [6:33 PM] Kaperis: (Faster... to load, I guess?)
  27. [6:33 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Recelle tilts her head. "Less powerful?" ... You can tell that she's losing interest already.
  28. [6:33 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: But she's smiling sweetly, keeping up with you just because of you.
  29.  
  30. [6:34 PM] Mizuki: "I also made those" - She said fetching the aspersion bullets from her pocket - "There's holy water inside, should be really useful against undead. You should take one!"
  31. [6:34 PM] Kaperis: John, who's totally been there the whole time, points out: "Well, you can also shoot twice if you carry that, I guess?"
  32. [6:34 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Recelle's eyes brighten for a bit. "Inside? How'd you manage that?"
  33. [6:35 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Recelle hadn't considered that before; For her, those weapons are a bit inaccessible in term of cost, normally.... That, and carrying two muskets around seem to be a bit too cumbersome for her.
  34. [6:35 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: But with that around... Yes.
  35. [6:36 PM] Sawai: (is my shield guardian here?)
  36. [6:36 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (As long as you are.)
  37. [6:37 PM] Mizuki: "Mhmm" - Said Alicia - "As you can see, those aspersion bullets, aren't completely round, like normal bullets. The part on it's back, is a bit thicker, and the front is thinner and has holy water inside" - She explained
  38. [6:37 PM] Mizuki: "I did that, so the bullet won't break during the shot, only after the impact on the enemy"(edited)
  39. [6:38 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Recelle nods... And keeps one close at hand just in case there are targets that would benefit from being struck with onee.
  40. [6:38 PM] Mizuki: "I... am not sure if it works against ghosts" - Said Alicia
  41. [6:38 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Aspergillum weapons in melee: Bonus action on hit to release holy water inside, dealing holy water damage with an auto-hit.
  42. [6:38 PM] Faerie: Razmik wonders if it's not getting too cramped in the cell, with one more person in and a golem. It really looked like a golem, to him. Seemed really heavy, after all... how did that even work? Ah, well, magic.
  43. [6:39 PM] Faerie: (Ahh. So that's how it is.)
  44. [6:39 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Aspergillum bullets: No need to use bonus action, but can be "wasted" if the attack miss, and incorporeal foes don't really... Yeah.
  45.  
  46. [6:40 PM] Faerie: (Doing so spends a vial of holy water, right?)
  47. [6:40 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Ah, you should have previously loaded said liquid in)
  48. [6:45 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The calm of the moment isn't something that lasts forever, of course, but...
  49. [6:45 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Should you be ready to plan, and move on, that would be nice, hm?
  50. NEW MESSAGES
  51. [6:45 PM] Mizuki: Alicia loads a normal bullet on her pistol - "I'll let you try my pistol out later, and if you like it, I can craft you one!"
  52. [6:46 PM] §upposition: Denalthir approaches Alicia while she tinkers with her guns on the side.
  53. [6:46 PM] §upposition: "Where do you believe we should go from here. The sooner we're out of here, the better."
  54.  
  55. [6:46 PM] Faerie: (So it's like a ''free'' smite per combat, I love it)
  56. [6:46 PM] §upposition: You get the feeling she didn't mean 'here' as in the Prison.
  57. [6:48 PM] Faerie: ''Well...'', Razmik overhears. ''Maybe uncle here has something to say about this whole mess?''
  58. [6:48 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The Dwarf gives a small "Hum?" As he looks up from his tea.
  59. [6:49 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Yeah, fuck me if I am the one fixing it." The Dwarf wholeheartedly agrees.
  60. [6:49 PM] Mizuki: "I'm actually a bit... lost..." - Asnwered Alicia with a whisper - "I was awake until a while ago, time sure flows different here, huh?"
  61. [6:49 PM] Faerie: Razmik thought about suggesting they go join the Complex folk, but in hindsight, didn't seem like a place filled with knights and so-on would be their exact cup of tea...
  62.  
  63. [6:50 PM] §upposition: "Hm." Denalthir moves to approach the Dwarf.
  64. [6:50 PM] §upposition: "....Sure is boring around here. What needs doing out here?"
  65. [6:51 PM] Kaperis: (Said the elf)
  66. [6:51 PM] Faerie: (My girl, is this peace not what all true warriors str- Okay, sorry)(edited)
  67. [6:52 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "What needs doing..." The Dwarf pauses, and looks toward the Shard.
  68. [6:52 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The Shard vibrates as if in denial.
  69. [6:53 PM] Faerie: ''Can anything be done about it?'', Razmik rather skeptically asks himself.
  70. [6:53 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ".... Well." The Dwarf shrugs. "I am just a good, upstanding citizen, here for my retirement... "
  71. [6:53 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d20
  72. [6:53 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20]: 20, Result: 20
  73. [6:53 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... That being said, I might know a thing or two, yes."
  74. [6:53 PM] Faerie: (Oh boy)
  75. [6:54 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The Dwarf pulls out a rag... With the local area drawn in some sort of ink.
  76. [6:54 PM] KogasaGaSagasa:
  77.  
  78. [6:54 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Don't mind the one on the rightmost edge)
  79. [6:54 PM] Plasmagica: so many poor people
  80. [6:55 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Now, this isn't a solution." The Dwarf says. "It's a temporary fix."
  81. [6:55 PM] Kaperis: (It's red because we set it all on fire, Plas.)
  82. [6:55 PM] Faerie: (Jew area is bigger, if you don't count the prison!)
  83. [6:56 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "What you can do is activate the city-wide defense, and... Then travel toward where the disaster took place, I suppose." The Dwarf shrugs. "Which is... At the metropolis northward."
  84. [6:56 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Or you can leave the city to our capable citizen hands."
  85. [6:56 PM] Faerie: (Oh boy)
  86. [6:57 PM] §upposition: Denalthir solidly puts her hand on the table with a thud and grins. "Sounds fun"
  87. [6:57 PM] Kaperis: "City-wide defense? What's that?" John asks.
  88. [6:58 PM] Mizuki: Alicia tilts her head - "City wide defense?"
  89. [6:58 PM] Faerie: ''City wide defense?'' that can't actually do what you'd think it does fromme the name, can it? ''What's that? And, more importantly, why hasn't it been activated yet?''
  90. [6:58 PM] Mizuki: (HIVEMIND)
  91. [6:58 PM] Faerie: (Citydefensemind)
  92. [6:58 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The Dwarf shrugs. "Because nobody wants to risk their life going into the town center... Here." The Dwarf points toward the castle and the three mage towers around it.
  93. [6:59 PM] Faerie: Razmik looks at where John's eyes would be were it not for the helmet, a bit surprised. ''Armsdale has nothing like that?''
  94. [7:00 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... The process he described seem simple enough - go to each one of the towers, re-activate their individual defenses and associated "mana pool" after the ownership was scrubbed clean as the wizard resident died, then go to the castle for the final ritual - detail of which is surely kept somewhere by the previous governer.
  95. [7:01 PM] Sawai: (sorry, was making some food :soullesspopo: )
  96. [7:01 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "The city defense plan was an agreement between Silverkeep's guardians and the mages that reside in the area - a mutual benefit thing. It was acivated a good while ago, when the dragons were here."
  97. [7:02 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Shadow piped in, "Ohh, I remember the dragons."
  98. [7:02 PM] Faerie: (>making food
  99. Are you Sawai?)
  100. [7:03 PM] Sawai: ( pls :sadpopo: )
  101. [7:03 PM] Sawai: ( preparing leftovers* )
  102. NEW MESSAGES
  103. [7:04 PM] Faerie: ''Dragons? That's... fascinating, actually. By the sound of it, I thought that would have been a long time ago, but if Shadow remembers them...''
  104. [7:04 PM] Mizuki: "I see..." - Answered Alicia - "Well, shouldn't be hard to figure it out when we get there"
  105. [7:04 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Thirty some odd years ago, yes." The Dwarf muses.
  106. [7:05 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... Shadow, for what it's worth, IS half-elf, half-hero, and all chuunibyou.
  107.  
  108. [7:05 PM] Faerie: It was obvious there was much they would never know about - as always, with a whole history to the place they were in, it was a bit easy to forget they were in a nightmare.
  109. [7:06 PM] Kaperis: "Huh? Well, Armsdale does have something like that... but it's done, uh, manually. Like, with patrols and stuff." John rubs his neck.
  110. [7:07 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Well, my boy, this one is manual too! To activate, that is. Never understood why wizards are so keep to keep their stuffs under control." The Dwarf says, sarcastic and glaring at the shard. "It's almost as if letting some shumuck hero touch things would make it blow up!"
  111. [7:07 PM] Faerie: ''Ah. I see.'' That was basically one-and-a-half times Razmik's age. He forgot half-elves aged slowly, since the only ones he knew were the ones from the order.
  112. [7:07 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The shard vibrates furiously.
  113.  
  114. [7:08 PM] Faerie: ''Just making sure, there's no catch besides activating each system individually, then performing a ritual?''
  115. [7:09 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Well, there's a ton of undead out there." The Dwarf says matter-of-fact-ly. "That's the only catch there is - you can't just stroll to the towers and go boop a button or pull a lever."
  116. [7:09 PM] Faerie: That sounded like it had a lot of potential to go badly, in case it required them to split up to get each system running simultaneously.
  117. [7:10 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The Dwarf shrugs. "Theoretically, you can have the ritual start with just two towers - They had the precaution just in case one of the great mage in their tower died of heart attack or something."
  118. [7:10 PM] Faerie: ''At least there won't be surprises involved. That's a relief!'', he clamored. But on second thought... ''unless we don't know if there's anything inside those towers, I suppose?''
  119. [7:10 PM] Faerie: Something gave him the feeling they didn't.
  120. [7:10 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The Dwarf just stares at Razmik. "Who would know what wizards have in their towers?"
  121. [7:10 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "What are you, a wizard?"
  122. [7:11 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "I, for one, know all about wizards!" The shard vibrates angrily, complaining. "For I am Wand of Orcus- Wait."
  123. [7:12 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "No, you know about wizards because you get around, Alex." The Dwarf sighs, smacking his forehead.
  124. [7:12 PM] Mizuki: "But do we need to split up?" - Asked Alicia - "Or can we activate each one at a time?"
  125.  
  126. [7:12 PM] Faerie: ''No, but there's a few magicians amongst us'', Razmik laughs and adds: ''Been traveling for a short time, but more than enough to know not to question wizards'', his tone at the end indicating seriousness.
  127. [7:12 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Yeah." The Dwarf agrees with you with a high degree of seriousness as well.
  128. [7:13 PM] Faerie: (Wizards pls go)
  129. [7:13 PM] §upposition: Denalthir hums to the side, pretending not to have heard that.
  130. NEW MESSAGES
  131. [7:13 PM] Kaperis: (Was Denalthir a Wizard, or a Druid or something? I keep forgetting.)
  132. [7:14 PM] Mizuki: "And that's not true" - Said Alicia staring at Raz - "You can ask me anything whenever you want!"
  133. [7:14 PM] Faerie: (Sorcerer. ...Druids can't cast magic missile, I'm pretty sure?)
  134. [7:14 PM] Faerie: (Actually, Druid's probably the class I know the least about for 5e. Seems cool, though)
  135. [7:14 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "One at a time, unless you fancy pulling a fast one." The Dwarf shrugs. "The exact method is up to you, I guess."
  136. [7:15 PM] Mizuki: "Oh, that's fine then. Shouldn't be that hard as long as we stay together" - She said smiling(edited)
  137. [7:15 PM] Faerie: ''You see, the problem there is that, that would require coordination from us.''
  138. [7:16 PM] Kaperis: (>Hug trees >Acquire spells >Hit stuff with sticks, sometimes as a bear)
  139. [7:16 PM] Kaperis: (all you need to know.)
  140.  
  141. [7:16 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Druid's the only class in D&D with the right to bear arms. And bear legs.)
  142. [7:16 PM] Faerie: Razmik is quick to agree with Alicia. ''Sticking together has been working fine so far, is all.''
  143.  
  144. [7:17 PM] Kaperis: (It's not a right, it's a privilege. )(edited)
  145. [7:17 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Wizards too, but they are right-violaters.)
  146. [7:17 PM] Faerie: Who was he to question the tactical genius behind working as a unit?
  147.  
  148. [7:17 PM] Faerie: (That bear joke :firepopo::gun:)
  149. [7:19 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The Dwarf grins, pulling out a cigar, and lights it. "Well, if ya'll are going tower climbing, best to be prepared, aye? I, for one, can tell you how to get into the tower in the Temple District - for that one, you go from the outside..."
  150. [7:19 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... Oh, and considering the undead, a safehouse nearby would be nice."
  151. [7:20 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The Dwarf takes a huff, and sighs happily.
  152. [7:20 PM] Faerie: ''Waaaait'', Razmik thought, before taking another look at the map.
  153. [7:21 PM] Faerie: Fuck. Those looked awfully far away. Why did he think they'd be within arm's reach of each other?
  154. [7:21 PM] Kaperis: John gets up. "We should let the Complex guards know where we're going, too," he suggests, half-instinctually. "Maybe someone there knows something more about the Temple District tower?"
  155. [7:22 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The Dwarf nods. "Well, I am offering advice as an upright citizen who, ah, had to retrieve a package before."
  156. [7:22 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: He doesn't seem to want to go into too much details beyond that.
  157. [7:22 PM] Faerie: (Is Razimk still under the assumption that there's only legitimate and upstanding citizens in here with them?)
  158. [7:23 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Very.)
  159. [7:23 PM] Faerie: (Very well.)
  160.  
  161. [7:23 PM] Kaperis: "Don't," John preempts. Holding his forehead, he clears his throat. "Just, ah... just don't mind that part. Is there anything else?"(edited)
  162. [7:23 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Yeah." The Dwarf smokes. "Don't die."
  163. [7:24 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The shard spits and coughs despite without having lungs, evidently having a fit.
  164. [7:25 PM] Mizuki: "We're pretty good at that" - Said Alicia smiling
  165. [7:25 PM] Faerie: ''Starting with the nearest tower seems like a good move, in this case. It's also closest to the safest place around; good thinking there.'', said Razmik getting up, not minding anything besides the overall plan much.
  166.  
  167. [7:26 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Well, let's go then." Shadow dusts himself off coolly, with a flourish.
  168. [7:26 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... Uh." Recelle stares at Shadow for a moment.
  169. [7:26 PM] Faerie: ''Thanks for the tea'', he adds while bowing his head. It sounded like they were to set off soon.
  170. [7:26 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "...?" Shadow looks at Recelle, a bit confused.
  171. [7:27 PM] Faerie: ''Hmm? Are you coming with us?''
  172. [7:27 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Well, remember the last time you tried going somewhere? Zombies everywhere, fam."
  173. [7:28 PM] Faerie: Not that he minded, really. He had been a great aid before, and made a certain issue a bit easier to deal with.
  174. [7:28 PM] Faerie: ''Ah, you're wrong there. The actual last time we tried, someone was staring at the map wrong-ways.''
  175. [7:29 PM] §upposition: "...Like to see you do better" Denalthir mumbles
  176. [7:29 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... Azura mewls back at Razmik, too.
  177. [7:29 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... As a raven.
  178. [7:29 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The shard vibrates a bit, as the Dwarf picks it up. "So, who wants to carry this little troublemaker? I preferably don't want him anywhere near me."
  179. [7:30 PM] Faerie: ''Came by a burning shrine in need of assistance, at least, so it was very much not time wasted.'', he finished, oblivious to their gazes.
  180. [7:30 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "HEY! WHO SAID ANYTHING ABOUT LETTING YOU TOU-" The Dwarf tosses the shard up and down with flourishes. "STOPPPPP."
  181. [7:31 PM] Faerie: Razmik was about to suggest! ''Why not Shadow? Seems like the natural choice, no? I'm sure they have a lot of catching up to do.''
  182. [7:31 PM] Mizuki: "Well, I can carry it, I guess" - Said Alicia
  183. [7:31 PM] Faerie: ''Yeah, actually, Shadow sounds like a great idea now that I mention it, we should definitely give it to Shadow. Yes. Shadow.'', Razmik attempts to talk over Alicia's offer.
  184. [7:32 PM] Mizuki: "And... I can just say I'm glad shadow is guiding us this time"
  185. [7:32 PM] Faerie: ''I'm sure you can't wait to check on what your pupil's learned, right? What was your style of fighting called, again...?''
  186. [7:33 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The Dwarf shrugs and tosses the Shard to Shadow, who catches it... and tosses it back to the Dwarf, as if by reflex.
  187. [7:33 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Uh." "Uh."
  188. [7:33 PM] Kaperis: "I heard you helped everyone out of a pinch before. You have my thanks!" John says to the young half-elf.
  189. [7:33 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... The Dwarf hands it over to Shadow the Jager manually.
  190.  
  191. [7:33 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Uh." "Uh."
  192. [7:33 PM] Kaperis: "I heard you helped everyone out of a pinch before. You have my thanks!" John says to the young half-elf.
  193. [7:33 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... The Dwarf hands it over to Shadow the Jager manually.
  194. [7:33 PM] Faerie: After throwing a curveball to the shard, Razmik hurriedly looks at Alicia and shakes his head as subtly as he can. Letting it near Alicia would be an awful idea!
  195. [7:33 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Hm? Yeah, no problem, fam." Shadow grins at John.
  196. [7:34 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Help me, and I help you, right?"
  197.  
  198. [7:35 PM] Faerie: (The shard is a complete creeper. Probably watches anime, too)
  199. [7:36 PM] Faerie: Razmik directs himself once again to Shadow, adjusting his hood. ''Back to helping you it is, then.'', he then nods.
  200. [7:36 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "The way of Shadow Hands of the Fallen Sun, the Fist of the Shadow, the Netherworld's World-Ender Strike style?" Shadow Jager helpfully reminds Razmik.
  201. [7:36 PM] Mizuki: Alicia tilts her head without really understand what was going on. - "Well, if you insist... I guess shadow can carry it..."
  202. [7:36 PM] §upposition: "...Fine with me"
  203. [7:36 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "And well, then!" Shadow pockets the shard of the artifact and his supposed father, who at this point seems to have fainted.
  204.  
  205. [7:37 PM] Sawai: Gets continuously more and more lost in the conversation...
  206. [7:37 PM] Faerie: (Thanks, Shadow Jager the John: The Hedgehog - Of the Shadow Hands of the Fallen Sun, the Fist of the Shadow, the Netherworld's World-Ender Strike fighting style!)
  207. [7:39 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Recelle walks over to the princess, and pats her shoulder a little. "No worries, I don't think you are supposed to make sense of things like these."
  208. [7:39 PM] Faerie: Oh. Razmik hadn't noticed the princess, really. Only her pet golem.

  214. [7:40 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: So, well... What are you doing? Where are you going?
  215.  
  216. [7:41 PM] Sawai: "O-ok...", ponders whether Jager might actually be a lunatic, and not some sort of foreign jester, as she had assumed.
  217. [7:41 PM] §upposition: "...I say we head for the nearest tower."
  218. [7:42 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: They are all lunatics. Then again, so are adventurers.
  219. [7:43 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The lunatic dawn symbolizes adventures, after all.
  220. [7:43 PM] Faerie: (He technically IS a bard, so jester isn't that far off...)
  221. [7:43 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Anyhow, Recelle seems ready.
  222.  
  223. [7:45 PM] Mizuki: "Ready to go" - Said Alicia putting her pistol on her belt with a smile - "Looking forward to test this"
  224. [7:45 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Go where, exactly? There has been two suggestions thus far.
  225. [7:46 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: John suggests to go to the Complex first, while Den suggests to going to the tower.
  226. [7:47 PM] Kaperis: Why not just ask someone to drop a message off at the Complex, whenever it's convenient? People here seem to get around.
  227. [7:47 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Get around is a way to put it, yes.
  228. [7:47 PM] Kaperis: Cough.
  229. [7:47 PM] Mizuki: "Uh... I wasn't here a while ago, so I'm not sure" - Said Alicia - "But I suppose you guys already went to the complex to tell the paladins about Arisa, right?"
  230. [7:48 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: That's something that you can do, yes - having a local Upright Citizen deliver a letter or a word.
  231.  
  232. [7:48 PM] Faerie: (Yeah, let's do that. Someone bring that up IC)
  233. [7:49 PM] §upposition: "...I did mention that we could let the Complex know about Arisa on our way. Has anyone sent a message?"
  234. [7:49 PM] §upposition: Denalthir wonders if anyone listened when she brought that up
  235. NEW MESSAGES
  236. [7:49 PM] §upposition: ( :smugpopo:)
  237. [7:49 PM] Faerie: (Did she REALLY :sadpopo:)
  238. [7:49 PM] §upposition: (She did :sadpopo:)
  239.  
  240. [7:51 PM] Faerie: ''That's a good idea, honestly. Saves us some time, for one. Although... well, should we rule out the possibility of the people over at the Complex knowing about the tower? It's part of the complex itself, after all...''
  241. [7:51 PM] Mizuki: (sorry, Alicia didn't listen :sadpopo:)
  242. [7:52 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Interestingly enough, they are on the two opposite ends of the Temple District.)
  243. [7:53 PM] Faerie: Maybe they haven't gotten that tower's part of the security system for some reason? It was hard to know, since as far as Razmik knew, this was the first the group heard of those towers.
  244. [7:53 PM] Faerie: (Oh, oh, my bad)
  245. [7:54 PM] §upposition: "Hm..."
  246. [7:54 PM] Sawai: (I-is the shield guardian sentient?)
  247. [7:54 PM] Sawai: (c-can I talk to it?)
  248. [7:54 PM] §upposition: "I wonder if Shadow Jaeger might oblige...Or is he not well recieved enough to deliver such a message?"
  249. [7:55 PM] §upposition: Denalthir glances over toward him
  250. [7:55 PM] Mizuki: "Well, lets go to the complex first and warn the paladins about Arisa." - Said Alicia - "I prefer to take this matter on our own hands..."
  251. [7:55 PM] Mizuki: "Shouldn't take too long, we can head to the towers as soon as we tell them"
  252. [7:56 PM] Mizuki: "What do you think, Azura?" - Asked Alicia telepathically
  253. [7:56 PM] Kaperis: "Shadow, Complex... oh, right. What did happen to that guy, anyway?" John asks aloud.(edited)
  254. [7:56 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: While the Shield Guardian is unable to speak, communication with it helps you command it. Sort of like training an AI to understand you bettter, I suppose.
  255. [7:56 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Shadow Jager the Great (?) stares back at Denalthir, blinking innocently.
  256. [7:57 PM] Sawai: (L-like a dog?)
  257. [7:57 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Azura ruffles her feathers a bit, non-commital. "Both ways have their own merit, and I believe in your judgment, Master."
  258. [7:57 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ( Well, I guess that's a way to put it? :sadpopo: )
  259. [7:58 PM] Sawai: ( :satisfiedpopo: )
  260.  
  261. [7:58 PM] Faerie: (Rude, dogs are not for commanding)
  262. [8:00 PM] Sawai: ( :sadpopo: )
  263. [8:00 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ( I am really tired, so my response rate is much lower than usual :rainbowpopo: )
  264.  
  265. [8:00 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ( Feel free to take more of a reign and push for things, as players. )
  266. [8:01 PM] Faerie: ''Maybe we should go there ourselves, then.'' It'd certainly help in case anyone there knew anything they should be aware of. ''Agree?''
  267. [8:01 PM] §upposition: "...Hmph, guess not." Denalthir heads toward the exit, looking back at the others.
  268.  
  269. [8:01 PM] §upposition: "Sooner we head out, sooner we can get started. It's going to be a journey. I won't lead this time, so come on."
  270.  
  271. [8:02 PM] Mizuki: "Yeah, lets go" - said Alicia going after Denalthir
  272. [8:02 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "But you are leading, though." Shadow complains a bit, before moving to guide the party.
  273. [8:02 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Recelle falls into position beside the princess and her golem guardian.
  274. [8:02 PM] Faerie: That worked for Razmik. Felt a bit weird that one time he hung around in the back with Recelle.
  275. [8:03 PM] Sawai: (c-can the golem carry me?)
  276. [8:03 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (pretty easily, yeah.)
  277. [8:03 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (As a large creature, you are able to ride it into combat without penalties.)
  278. [8:04 PM] Faerie: Nothing against her, though! It's just that it's generally good insurance to have someone heavily armored at the front - makes others less likely to get shot at from afar, for instance.
  279. [8:04 PM] Faerie: (smugfuckingelf.png)
  280. [8:04 PM] Faerie: (Oh god that's fucking awesome, Koga)
  281. [8:04 PM] Sawai: "I'm tired, c-carry me!", points at the shield guardian
  282. [8:05 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Moving out, Shadow guides you out of the prison without much issues - the same old of rooftop hopping and the like.
  283. [8:05 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The shield guardian silently picks up the princess, and lets her sit on the construct's shoulder.
  284. [8:05 PM] Faerie: ''Alright, moving right along. Maybe try to march like we usually do, as well'', Razmik suggests
  285. [8:05 PM] Faerie: As much as you can call this ''marching'', anyways.
  286. [8:06 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... For something that large and seemingly made of metal, it is graceful in its movement, flowing between its steps. It does not seem like it will cause issues with the rooftop unless something goes horribly wrong.
  287. [8:06 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The sky is clear, at an afternoon hour.
  288. [8:07 PM] Sawai: (tfw sorcerer c2)
  289. [8:07 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The zombies beneath you seem to have not noticed you as you lept between rooftops, until Shadow has guided you to a segment of ruined building, some of which are still smothering rubbles.
  290. [8:07 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Seems like his previous handiwork.
  291. [8:08 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Uh." Shadow looks around. "We can backtrack, or dash for a few minutes to the bridge." Shadow Jager points toward the bridge that you are familiar with, a few minute's walk away.
  292. [8:09 PM] §upposition: "Bridge sounds nice..." Denalthir brings up the rear
  293. [8:09 PM] Faerie: ''Er, well...'' wondering about the golemm, Razmik asks if it could sprint with them.
  294. [8:09 PM] Faerie: ''Do you think it can keep up?''
  295. [8:10 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The shield guardian regards you silently for a moment, before nodding.
  296. [8:10 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d20
  297. [8:10 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20]: 16, Result: 16
  298. [8:10 PM] Kaperis: "This armor isn't really made for sprinting... but I think I can handle it." After all, John only wears it for every single one of his waking hours. And, increasingly, the other hours too.
  299. [8:11 PM] Mizuki: "To the bridge then!" - Said Alicia
  300. [8:12 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You've decided to make a breakthrough, relying on speed and endurance.
  301. [8:12 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: While the shield guardian can easily do this all day, the rest of you are subject to possible fatigue - or an army of zombies, if stopping and fighting is your choice instead.
  302. [8:12 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Give me a Constitution Save at DC of 8.
  303. [8:13 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Failure incurs exhaustion.
  304. [8:13 PM] Faerie: roll 1d20+4
  305. [8:13 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+4]: 8, Result: 12
  306. [8:13 PM] Kaperis: roll 1d20+4

  308. [8:13 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d20

  310. [8:13 PM] §upposition: roll 1d20+3
  311. [8:13 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+3]: 20, Result: 23
  312. [8:13 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Azura ... decides to stay on Alicia's shoulder instead.(edited)
  313. [8:14 PM] Faerie: (Wait, CON)
  314. [8:14 PM] §upposition: (I could do this all day! :happypopo:)
  315. [8:14 PM] Mizuki: roll 1d20+2
  316. [8:14 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+2]: 7, Result: 9
  317.  
  318. [8:14 PM] Faerie: (Got 10 total, not 12, thought I read STR!)
  319. [8:14 PM] Sawai: (w-what does dc of 8 mean?)
  320. [8:14 PM] Mizuki: (whew, that was close)
  321. [8:14 PM] §upposition: (Get over 8 to not be tired)
  322. [8:14 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Difficulty of 8)
  323. [8:14 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (But erm, you are riding on a mount.)
  324. [8:15 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The group decides to all travel at a brisk pace for the next hour, until the opportunity presents itself where they are able to climb back up onto the rooftop.
  325. [8:15 PM] Faerie: (Razmik would retire out of shame if he got exhausted from jogging like that :sadpopo:
  326. Also, princess privilege)(edited)
  327. [8:16 PM] Sawai: (o-oh)
  328. [8:16 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Beside for sweat, not much else is of an issue. You even made it to the Complex at record time!
  329. [8:16 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The shard vibrates. "Cute paladin girls! I, your Axiom, have returned!"
  330. [8:16 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Shadow ponders for a moment, whether to join in or reprimade his father.
  331.  
  332. [8:17 PM] Mizuki: (easy!)
  333. [8:18 PM] Mizuki: Alicia stares at the shard - "Careful now, I don't think they'd welcome you"
  334. [8:18 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The Complex seems safe and sound, with the guards greeting you with a friendly sign this time around.
  335. [8:18 PM] Faerie: ''You know'', Razmik suggests leaning close to the shard ''some of those girls would be required to smite you on sight, by creed. You're warned.''
  336. [8:18 PM] Kaperis: John takes it a step further. "Weren't almost all of them men?" John asks obliviously.
  337. [8:18 PM] Sawai: (is the shard Shadow's dad?)
  338. [8:18 PM] Faerie: He tried to sound as serious as he could.
  339. [8:18 PM] Sawai: ( :surprisedpopo: )
  340. [8:19 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "That is my fetish, young padawan." The shard replies, vibrating furiously.
  341. [8:19 PM] §upposition: (Yeah, it's his dad. I had a massive giggle when we found out)
  342. [8:19 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Oh, punish me!"
  343. [8:19 PM] Sawai: (is the shard Shadow's chaos emerald?)
  344. [8:19 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... Shadow looks at Razmik. "Uh. Can you do me a favor and... Carry..."
  345. [8:19 PM] §upposition: (His dad is the guy who broke the wand and had his soul splintered into it)
  346. [8:19 PM] Faerie: (More or less, uh. As far as we know, his soul got... imprisoned? In a shard of Orcus' Wand back when it went kaboom)
  347. [8:19 PM] Kaperis: (Don't say that, he'll try to stop time with it.)
  348. [8:19 PM] Faerie: (>This is my fetish
  349. PLEASE NO)
  350. [8:20 PM] Sawai: Asks Recelle what a fetish is.
  351. [8:20 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Shadow holds out the vibrating shard for a moment, before pocketing it back. "No, sorry, forget I asked."
  352. [8:20 PM] §upposition: (HIME NO)
  353. [8:20 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Recelle looks to the side. "Ah, it's something that dirty old men like."
  354. [8:20 PM] §upposition: Denalthir giggles
  355. [8:20 PM] Kaperis: "Yeah, she's right! I'm pretty sure it's what shamans use to cast spells," John comments helpfully.
  356. [8:20 PM] Faerie: ''Alrighty, then. Er... if you change your mind any time, I can carry it with me if you wish.''
  357. [8:20 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Yeah, dried mummies, that sort of things." Recelle quickly explains.
  358. [8:21 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Thankfully, the shard's too into/out of it to comment more.
  359.  
  360. [8:21 PM] Faerie: (How awkward)
  361. [8:21 PM] Mizuki: "I'm sure it'd rather be carried by some cute girl" - Said Alicia with a stern look
  362. [8:22 PM] Kaperis: (Fishing for compliments, are we?)
  363. [8:22 PM] Sawai: "I guess I can carry it, since you insist"
  364. [8:22 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Azura lightly pets Alicia with one wing, as if comforting her.
  365. [8:22 PM] Faerie: (HIME NO)
  366. [8:22 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "NO." Recelle interjects.
  367. [8:22 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "I mean, it's not safe." Recelle quickly explains.
  368. [8:23 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... I mean, let Shadow carry it."
  369. [8:23 PM] Faerie: ''Not safe in the slightest'', Razmik murmurs.
  370. [8:23 PM] Sawai: "Hmmph, but you just said it would want a cute girl to carry it!"
  371. [8:23 PM] §upposition: Denalthir pets Hime, and gets close.
  372. [8:23 PM] Mizuki: "T-That's not what I meant" - Said Alicia
  373. [8:24 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Yes, but cute girls shouldn't carry something dirty like that." Recelle is regarding the shard as an evil artif- well, as what it is.
  374. [8:24 PM] §upposition: "...Poor Hime...no one ever did tell you about the birds and the bees huh?..."
  375. [8:24 PM] §upposition: Denalthir grins
  376. [8:25 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The Complex guard professionally motions for the gate. "Well, uh. I mean, the shorter we keep the gate open the better." She interjects.
  377. [8:25 PM] Mizuki: Alicia bops Denalthir's head - "Lets get going!"
  378. [8:25 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Ayy, girl, wanna guard the gate to my heart instead?" The shard vibrates and suggests.
  379. [8:25 PM] Faerie: (I've always wondered why it's called ''the birds and the bees'', actually...)
  380. [8:25 PM] §upposition: "We'll keep moving, I'm just going to spend some quality time with the Princess over here..."
  381. [8:25 PM] Kaperis: John doesn't understand what all the fuss is about! He goes to tell one of the knights -- if they still call themselves such -- about their plan to reactivate the city's magic defenses. "I don't know what'll happen when we start switching the towers on, but we thought you should know, in case the undeads react."(edited)
  382. [8:25 PM] §upposition: "Geh geh heh"
  383. [8:25 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Shadow throws the Shard of Wand of Orcus over the gate. "See you inside, Pa!"
  384. [8:26 PM] §upposition: Denalthir walks alongside the Shield Guardian and teaches Hime about This and That...
  385. [8:26 PM] Faerie: Uh huh. What was going on?
  386. [8:26 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: One of the guard, an ex-Paladin, nods as he accepts the message. "Well, it's no different than usual - always be paranoid, and always be watching."
  387. [8:27 PM] Mizuki: Alicia covers the hime's ears before Denalthir manage to get to the dirty part
  388. [8:27 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Shadow gets into the Complex, as Recelle walks in... covering her own earas, seeing that the princess is literally covered.
  389. [8:27 PM] §upposition: Denalthir howls with laughter grossly
  390. [8:27 PM] Faerie: ''It's as John says, we were just passing by to deliver a message.'', Razmik talks to the group. ''Was there something else?''
  391. [8:28 PM] Sawai: asks Recelle if Denalthir is also a dirty old man
  392. [8:28 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Huh, we are not staying for the night?" Recelle pauses, and fishes Shadow back out.
  393. [8:28 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Recelle... Merely shakes her head. "I don't want to judge."
  394. [8:29 PM] §upposition: Denalthir grins widely at Recelle
  395. [8:29 PM] Faerie: ''Er.''
  396. [8:29 PM] Mizuki: "Denalthir just... goes too far with her jokes sometimes" - Said Alicia staring at Denalthir angrily
  397.  
  398. [8:30 PM] Faerie: ''You know, I hadn't thought about it, but it might not be a bad idea.'' They were a bit spent, as a whole, no?
  399. [8:31 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "That, and it's only a few hours before it gets dark..." Recelle shrugs. "I don't know how long it'll take."
  400. [8:31 PM] Faerie: ''Besides, we don't even know if the tower's safe to navigate. The way I see it, that means it's probably not.''
  401. [8:31 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Shadow helpfully interjects, "Around roughly 4 5 hours?"
  402. [8:31 PM] Faerie: For sure, there'd be concern if they went over like that.
  403. [8:32 PM] Mizuki: "Well, I'm fine and I can keep going" - Said Alicia - "But I don't mind if we stay in for the night as well. I can take the time to show Recelle my new weapon!"
  404. NEW MESSAGES
  405. [8:33 PM] Faerie: (>I'm fine
  406. Come on, your sheet doesn't even list how many spell slots you have left :sadpopo:)
  407.  
  408. [8:34 PM] Faerie: ''Hmm. Thinking about it, how are you feeling, Recelle? That vampire's mist really did a number on us''
  409. [8:34 PM] Mizuki: (all of them!)
  410. [8:35 PM] Sawai: (can the golem carry more than one person?)
  411. [8:35 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Ah, thanks to you, it's alright now." Recelle nods.
  412. [8:35 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Not in theory.)
  413. [8:35 PM] Faerie: (Whoops, I hadn't checked, but I'm a bit dinged up, myself)
  414. [8:35 PM] Mizuki: "V-Vampire?" - Asked Alicia surprised - "I might need an explanation of what happened while I was out, if we decide to spend the night here..."
  415. [8:35 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (In practice, it can, but it would be encumbered.)
  416. [8:35 PM] Sawai: "S-something happened?"
  417.  
  418. [8:36 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Oh, it was a dead vampire." Recelle says, not registering how silly that sounds.
  419. [8:37 PM] Faerie: ''That's a relief. And, vampire, uh... well, it was already... dead... un... dead? It was already a pile of dust when we got to it, its remains simply lashed out at us when Denalthir tried to get rid of them.'', Razmik explains. Throat hurt like hell, when it happened.
  420. [8:38 PM] Faerie: (These fucking undead death double-takes, they really should come up with a term for ''dead in undeath'' :sadpopo:)
  421. [8:39 PM] Faerie: ''Either way, it's safe in here. We know of a place where we can spend the night as well, Shadow.''
  422. [8:40 PM] Faerie: Razmik motions over for him to follow, but stops himself short. ''It looks a bit early to book it for the day, however... any ideas?''
  423. [8:40 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Well. It's good, since having a place I can practice my Shadow Fist technique is good." Shadow nods in all seriousness.
  424.  
  425. [8:42 PM] Mizuki: "I will also help you with your spells if you want" - Said Alicia
  426. [8:42 PM] Faerie: Razmik thought, they would probably want to get a word in with their fellow guards and knights explaining what they'd try to do.
  427. [8:42 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Spells?" Shadow looks at Alicia, as if not recognizing what she's talking about.
  428. [8:42 PM] Faerie: Maybe even someone responsible -like John- would offer to it.
  429. [8:43 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Ohh, you mean about the superior power that I wield, in which the names of the six hundred sixty-six beasts hidden in my blood can be conjured?" Shadow's eyes lit up.
  430. [8:44 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Azura almost toppled over on your shoulder, Alicia, as if getting a brain aneurysm just thinking about it.
  431. [8:44 PM] Faerie: (I'd laugh, but something something the 666th layer of the Abyss is a thing, so...)
  432. [8:44 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "I take full responsibilities." The shard speaks. :neutral_face:
  433.  
  434. [8:45 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ...
  435. [8:45 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: While in the Complex, you are able to take a Long Rest, as well as purchase goods at a drastically discounted price.
  436. [8:45 PM] Faerie: (Can we
  437. purchase
  438. holy water)
  439. [8:45 PM] Mizuki: "Yeees..." - Said Alicia trying to keep a serious face - "That's what I mean"
  440. [8:45 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: I say goods, but it's rather limited to what Holy Orders are able to produce.
  441. [8:45 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Yes, at a discount as liberator.
  442. [8:45 PM] Faerie: (Holy water is the only good. Namusan.)
  443. [8:46 PM] Faerie: (How much holy water can, uh
  444. [8:46 PM] Faerie: 12gp get me?)
  445. [8:46 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (10 GP as opposed to 25 normally.)
  446. [8:46 PM] Faerie: (Oh dear.)
  447.  
  448. [8:47 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Aleswell offers the normal services, which grants you the usual benefit of a Minor Hero's Feast.
  449. [8:47 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: > Partaking in the ale, wine, cider, or enjoying a meal on the house, you are under a Minor Heroes's Feast effect. You make all Wisdom checks with advantage, and makes all checks to resist Poisoned and Frightened with advantage.
  450. [8:47 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: This lasts for 24 hours.
  451. [8:48 PM] Faerie: Enthralled, Razmik adds another flask of holy water (not touched by Mielikki this time, however) to his flask. He was able to buy a whole flask with the money he had!
  452. [8:48 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Take a Long Rest?
  453. [8:48 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Any special orders whlie in town, everyone?
  454. [8:49 PM] Faerie: Oh, yeah
  455. [8:49 PM] §upposition: None, just resting for Denalthir
  456. [8:49 PM] Kaperis: Nothing in particular for John.
  457. [8:49 PM] Faerie: ''Do you mind if I take a bit of time before going back to the tavern? There's a few things I wanted to check''
  458. [8:50 PM] Mizuki: Alicia heads to Aleswell to have a drink and rest. She's already feeling pretty well rested though!
  459. [8:50 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Recelle shrugs, not having much to do beyond hanging out with free drinks.
  460. [8:50 PM] Sawai: Asks Recelle if there's anything she wants, and that she'll buy it for her.
  461. [8:50 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The shield guardian draws some eyes, but nobody seem to question it being around. And being ridden by a girl.
  462. [8:50 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Recelle smiles and shakes her head. "No, no, it's fine."
  463. [8:51 PM] Faerie: Razmik intends to just... kind of walk around outside the complex, checking on people. Any word of someone injured or sick, and the like, since he can still do some healing bullshittery and not getting any use out of it would be a waste.
  464. [8:51 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Unfortunately for Razmik, the Complex has an abnormally high amount of Paladins, some of which has dogma in which even required a daily allocation of charity.
  465. [8:52 PM] Faerie: (>daily allocation of charity
  466. [8:52 PM] Faerie: Fugg, it's like 2e all over again!)
  467. [8:52 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: While such a thing isn't heavily required post disaster by the deities, the nature breed into them are already causing paladins to have some friendly tuffs over who's healing which disease.
  468. [8:53 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The general consensus is "Those who heals first wins.".
  469. [8:53 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... As such, you are extremely unlikely to find those who need help.
  470. [8:53 PM] §upposition: (I'll be back, something important came up)
  471. [8:53 PM] Faerie: (That's amazing, really. I don't think Razmik would mind much)
  472. [8:53 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: In fact, you are approached by an apprentice cleric of some... unknown deity, asking if you need help with YOUR wounds.
  473. [8:53 PM] Sawai: (r-rip)
  474. [8:53 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Alright.)
  475. [8:54 PM] Faerie: (Hope it's nothing bad)
  476. [8:54 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Good timing, as we are in a town.)
  477. [8:54 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Take however much time you need!)
  478.  
  479. [8:55 PM] Faerie: Razmik politely refuses, arguing that his companions and him are about to turn in for a night of rest. Still, he's much thankful for the gesture.
  480. [8:56 PM] Faerie: That'd be all, since... no sign from the cleric of Mask, I presume?
  481. [8:56 PM] Faerie: Razmik figures it wouldn't hurt to ask around the Complex, either way.
  482. [8:56 PM] Faerie: But yeah, nothing else apart from that.
  483. [8:56 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Alright. Investigation.

  489. [8:58 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Asking around the Complex,
  490. [8:59 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... There was never a cleric of Mask around.
  491. [9:00 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Maybe you should check that prison, a few blocks down north." One Paladin helpfully suggests. "Or maybe more in the merchant's area. Mask's a thief god, and thieves belong to those places more than here."
  492. [9:01 PM] Kaperis: (People here didn't know what he was. John asked about it in passing before, but yeah.)
  493.  
  494. [9:02 PM] Faerie: Ahh. Razmik thanks the man for his help. It wouldn't be the first time something like that happens to them in a nightmare, he thought, so maybe it wasn't something worth worrying about for now.
  495. [9:02 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: There's something about the Paladin's tone - not discrimination, but one of experience.
  496. [9:03 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... If you haven't visit the arena in the town before - there's a miniature temple district there, too, for the gladiators and mercenaries." The Paladin pauses.
  497. [9:03 PM] Faerie: (Oh, heh. I was thinking about that, since you mentioned something about prejudice after one of our sessions)
  498. [9:03 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... They, uh, worship some of the less... Openly worshipped deities."
  499.  
  500. [9:04 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... Without much else, the day will pass.
  501. [9:05 PM] Faerie: That made sense. Hard to see a deity of trickery having a temple out in the open, or as much as a statue in a place like the District.
  502. [9:05 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Comes a new day, and new opportunities. You are able to prepare and do a final equipment check. After that, you are good to set out for the tower in question - or whichever place that you would like to go.

  505. [9:05 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Given the note of the situation, Shadow will volunteer to go.. While Sorelis, the Paladin of Morninglord, will drop by in the morning as well, having heard that you are going to the tower.
  506. [9:06 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Oh, good thing I caught you folks before you depart." The paladin seems a bit out of breath, having ran here in armor.
  507. [9:07 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "If you are going to the tower, watch out - there's report of an undead wyvern nesting on top of the tower to the east. I've had most people in the Complex to avoid said area."
  508. [9:08 PM] Mizuki: "Oh, thanks for the warning" - Said Alicia - "Maybe we should start on that one then? Since we're all well rested"
  509. [9:09 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Uhhhh."
  510. [9:09 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Recelle will quickly point out what undead wyvern means. "Undead... Dragon?" ... She also points to John. And John's pike.

  512. [9:10 PM] Faerie: ''Reports? Well, that explains why... nevermind that''
  513. [9:11 PM] Faerie: You know, something told Razmik they wouldn't really be able to take on an actual, adult dragon.
  514. [9:13 PM] Faerie: ''We'll be careful. Of course, it's a wyvern, but if it were to notice us...'', Razmik asks, did she think they could attempt to get past it by force?
  515. [9:13 PM] Faerie: ''We really need to climb that tower, you see.''
  516. [9:13 PM] Faerie: (Aren't wyverns generally speaking, weaker than dragons?)
  517. [9:14 PM] Faerie: (I mean, we're playing Dungeons and Dragons, not Dungeons and Wyverns)
  518. [9:14 PM] Mizuki: (I think so)
  519. [9:14 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Sorelis shrugs. "Well, we don't have the manpower to take care of a big, flying undead creature. So if you do happen to kill it, you have my thanks."
  520. [9:15 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (It's not Wyrd and Wyverns, that's for sure.)
  521. [9:15 PM] Faerie: ''You have your hands full enough as it is, I'm sure. We'll see what can be done, then''
  522. [9:16 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Azura seems concerned. "Master. Do you recall your Dracology?"
  523. [9:16 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Alicia, arcana.
  524. [9:18 PM] Mizuki: roll 1d20+7
  525. [9:18 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+7]: 13, Result: 20
  526. [9:18 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You do.
  527. [9:18 PM] Mizuki: "Mhm, I do. What's up, Azura?" - Asked Alicia
  528. [9:19 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Wyverns are a class of "lesser dragons" by dragon standards - beyond the True Dragons, of Metallic and Chromatics, there are those who are dragonkins - faerie dragons, crested dragons that serves some elven kingdom as mounts, dragon turtles that breath steam and lives deep underwater... And Wyvern, the two-legged, clawless cousin of dragons. Their tails are barbed and injects a deadly poison.
  529. [9:19 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: But that's not the issue here... The issue is that wyverns travel in packs.
  530. [9:20 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: A singular wyvern is very unlikely.
  531. [9:20 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Either something is up, such as the single wyvern is left behind by the pack when it fell sick..." Azura suggests, "Or there's an undead wyvern infestation somewhere."
  532. [9:21 PM] Mizuki: "Yeah, you're right..." - Said Alicia telepathically
  533. [9:21 PM] Faerie: That said, Razmik limits himself to loading some of the holy water of Mielikki into his war hammer. The device to release it was rather ingenious, and nothing like what you'd see in a normal Aspergillum - it was easy and quick to operate it, and could even be pulled mid-swing. If anything positively had to die a second death, the Paladin trusted this could very well give it to it swiftly.
  534. [9:22 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (That being said, the poison denatures quickly after death, so the wyverns are "likely not carrying poison")
  535. [9:22 PM] Mizuki: "Sorelis, is there only one wyvern? Do you remember a pack passing by some time ago?" - Asked Alicia
  536. [9:22 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Hmm? No. Nothing of that sort." Sorelis shakes her head.

  548. [9:26 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Uh." Sorelis blinks for a moment, before nodding.
  549. [9:26 PM] §upposition: (Where is everyone now :sadpopo: I stayed at Aleswell)
  550. [9:26 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Recelle nods and prepares ... Well, not accordingly. There's not much she can do.
  551. [9:26 PM] Mizuki: "Sorelis said only one but... We can never be sure. Lets be cautious"
  552. [9:26 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Shadow just... Yeah.
  553. [9:27 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Last you saw Shadow, he's contorting his body in order to "Channel the darkness in my heart toward my fingertips, to fire them in bolts of eldritch force".
  554. [9:27 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: He claims it to be a Shadow Fist technique.
  555.

  563. [9:30 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You came upon a small group of ghouls, across the street's rooftop.

  575. [9:31 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: They look at the group of adventurers, huddling behind cover.
  576. [9:32 PM] Mizuki: "Watch out everyone!" - Said Alicia - "Ghouls over there"
  577.  
  578. [9:32 PM] Faerie: Divine Sense.
  579. [9:32 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Erm.
  580. [9:33 PM] Faerie: (Wait, are they close enough?)
  581. [9:33 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You sense undead. Across from you, below you, and all that.
  582. [9:33 PM] Faerie: ERR.
  583. [9:33 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You register undead in the hundreds.
  584. [9:33 PM] Faerie: ''Focus, Razmik. Focus.'' You dumbass.
  585. [9:33 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: And that's... Within 60ft.
  586. [9:33 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Otherwise, there's about 12 ghouls across from you.
  587. [9:33 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: >about
  588. [9:34 PM] Faerie: Did these ghouls register as undead, then?
  589. [9:34 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: There IS 12 undeads across from the street.
  590. [9:34 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Yes.
  591. [9:34 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: They don't seem immediately hostile, which is sort of odd for undead - no need to check for Religion for that.
  592. [9:35 PM] Faerie: ''They don't seem too eager to make a meal out of us...'', Razmik comments low to the group.
  593.  
  594. [9:36 PM] Mizuki: "That's... strange" - commented Alicia
  595. [9:36 PM] Faerie: What were they doing? It was almost as if they were trying to hide.
  596. [9:36 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: They seem to have gathered on the rooftop, as if... Discussing things? and sitting in a circle, previously.
  597. [9:37 PM] Mizuki: "Come out where I can see you!" - Said Alicia holding her pistol
  598. [9:37 PM] Faerie: Razmik pulls his shield out from under his cloak, straps it on and after a moment, lifts his arm to the air, brandishing it in front of the ghouls, without saying anything.
  599. [9:37 PM] Faerie: Maybe they were just... reminiscing?
  600. [9:38 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: One of the ghoul motions for the others, before standing out. "Man of cloth, and of Lathander." She hisses softly. "Adventurers?"
  601. [9:38 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The other ghouls hide.
  602. [9:38 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You ARE talking across 10 feet of street filled with bumbling zombies.

  609. [9:39 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (no worries.)
  610. [9:40 PM] Faerie: Razmik lowers his sign. Hopefully the ones across the street didn't see it.
  611. [9:40 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "The same can be asked for you." The ghoul hisses. "But what we do is none of your business. Be glad that we eat only zombies."

  615. [9:41 PM] Faerie: (Are ghouls usually this behaved?)
  616. [9:41 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Not at all. They are uusally more of the kind you met in Windsmere.)
  617. [9:41 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (or the kind you met around the riverbank)
  618. [9:42 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Why," The ghoul seems surprised, "You would rather we target the living than the dead?"
  619.  
  620. [9:42 PM] Mizuki: "I never heard anything about that" - Said Alicia - "Usually your kind attacks us on sight"
  621. [9:42 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The ghoul pulls out a holy symbol, and brandishes it at Razmik.
  622. [9:43 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You are able to recognize it immediately - she was formerly a cleric of Lathander.
  623. [9:44 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Hail, brother." She hisses softly, her voice gentle despite the undead and unnatural tongue.
  624. [9:44 PM] Faerie: ''S-such a thing is possible?'' Razmik stammers, and then gulps. How?
  625.  
  626. [9:44 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: She puts the holy symbol away carefully, tucking it inside her ragged clothing.
  627. [9:45 PM] Faerie: After a good bit of hesitation, he returns the greeting. ''Well met, sister.''
  628. [9:45 PM] Faerie: Closing his eyes for a moment, he addresses her again. The display was moving, but he was so curious...
  629. [9:46 PM] Faerie: ''Could you tell us what happened to you all?''
  630. [9:47 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: She shrugs, non-commital. "Orcus disaster, turned... I kept my sanity. I made others keep their sanity, forcing them to. The Morninglord's light will keep on shining." She grits her teeth. "I would sooner die than to exist like this, but I - we - have a duty, brother."

  638. [9:49 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Here you have an example of someone on the other spectrum of the aasimar you've met earlier, who kept her faith and lost her form. She doesn't seem all that badly off, and is even friendly due to same-faith bonus sharing the same deity.
  639. [9:50 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You are likely able to question her on things more related to the task on your hand, if any.
  640.  
  641. [9:50 PM] Mizuki: Was she telling the truth? Alicia wasn't sure, she tries to analize her voice and posture. Her mercenary days teached her how to recognize someone lying

  654. [9:53 PM] Faerie: To be able to stave off the urges of undeath, all the while holding no desire to keep such a wretched existence. All of that because of duty. 'A ghoul would have tried to cut us down where we stand.', he thought.

  659. [9:54 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You are able to tell a bit more of her mental state, Alicia.
  660. [9:55 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: She seems to be telling the truth, and is throughly disgusted with her current state.
  661. [9:55 PM] Faerie: ''It's humbling to see the spark in someone still present after undeath''

  670. [9:57 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Not plural." She hisses softly. "Singular, and dead. Undead. Just a zombie, not a vampire or anything."

  687. [10:02 PM] §upposition: ...Denalthir remains on guard, but does relax slightly, seeing the others converse so openly
  688. [10:02 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... You are interested in the wyvern?" The ghoul seems to catch your drift.
  689. [10:04 PM] Faerie: 'Yes, sister.'' Razmik lifts his eyes from the ground. ''We have been tasked with reactivating the magical defense mechanism in the area, and there are towers we have to traverse to in order to do that.''
  690. [10:05 PM] Faerie: ''It seems this wyvern has nested itself atop one of them.''
  691. [10:05 PM] Mizuki: "Now that I think about it, we don't even know how this defense mechanism works" - Said Alicia - "What would happen to you, if we were to activate it?"
  692. [10:05 PM] Sawai: (am I asleep on the golem's shoulder or something? :sadpopo: )
  693. [10:06 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "The wyvern seems to be of nesting age. And female. If it's not dead, it would be extremely aggressive - as is, it seems to be following its instincts while alive, collecting food from the zombies below, and getting ready for a nest that she will never have." She scowls. "As for the magical defense - you mean of the one in the castle?"
  694. [10:06 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (You are being carried, if nothing else!)
  695. [10:06 PM] Sawai: ( y-yay :sadpopo: )
  696. [10:07 PM] Faerie: Hopefully, they wouldn't have to fight the thing, but they were doing this to keep those still alive safe. There was no way around it, they'd have to get to that tower.
  697. [10:07 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Well..." The ghoul shrugs. "It's a big abjuration circle - if you drive or lure the undead out, they won't be able to come back in."
  698. [10:07 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "I am sure there's modifiers you can set for the abjuration circle."
  699. [10:07 PM] Faerie: ''Surrounded by three towers, yes.'', Razmik answers with the map from before painted bright in his mind.
  700. [10:08 PM] Faerie: (Ahh. Routing up all the unded in the world into the circle doesn't sound very viable :sadpopo:)
  701. [10:08 PM] Mizuki: "I see, that's good to know" - Said Alicia - "You sure know a lot"
  702. [10:08 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Out. It keeps undead out.)
  703. [10:08 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Or dragons. or giants.)
  704. [10:09 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The ghoul grins.
  705.  
  706. [10:09 PM] Faerie: (I thought that's what she meant for 'modifiers', like spells that work similarly and such)
  707. [10:10 PM] Mizuki: (that means we can modify the defense system not to harm her and her friends)
  708. [10:10 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Ah, abjuration magic in general do little in way of harm.
  709. [10:10 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It's meant to keep things in, or out, or protect them.
  710. [10:11 PM] Mizuki: "Maybe... You could come with us and help" - Suggested Alicia
  711. [10:11 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: A force field, a mage's force armor, that type of thing.
  712.  
  713. [10:11 PM] Faerie: Now that Alicia mentioned it, Razmik wondered who those with her were.
  714. [10:12 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Do you require help, brother?" The ghoul turns to Razmik.
  715. [10:12 PM] Faerie: ''They must have their reservations, too...'' it wasn't often that an undead cleric and her ghoul companions offered aid like that, Razmik thought.
  716. [10:13 PM] Faerie: ''The people in the district would be very grateful for any aid you may provide, sister.''
  717. [10:14 PM] Faerie: He then looks at her face ''And I would be, as well.''
  718. [10:14 PM] Faerie: (This is a bit surreal, Lathander is usually very DING DONG FUCK UNDEAD)
  719. [10:14 PM] Kaperis: John speaks up. "Uh... but maybe you could use our help?"
  720. [10:14 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: She looks at the zombies moaning and bumping around helplessly in the street. "I do my part, brother. By eating the dead and do my best to not disturb the living."
  721. [10:15 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Yes?" The ghoul looks at John for the first time, figured him for some sidekick or lantern-carrier.
  722. [10:16 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Save the living... Smite the dead." The ghoul's eyes glint.
  723. [10:16 PM] Faerie: (Huh, lantern-carrier...)
  724. [10:17 PM] Kaperis: "You don't seem that dead to me, though. Erm, relatively..." John isn't sure how to address this in a sensitive way. "Is there really no way to change you back?"(edited)
  725. [10:17 PM] Faerie: (Is it time to roll another 98?)
  726. [10:19 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: She shakes her head, hissing softly. "No, child. Such requires tremdous power, a miracle. Nothing that any of the survivors would be capable of."
  727.  
  728. [10:22 PM] Mizuki: "I'm sorry about your current situation" - Lamented Alicia - "But know that I find admirable, someone that lost everything and became an undead still managed to keep her counscience intact"
  729. [10:22 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Shadow refers to the shard for advice on this matter.
  730. [10:22 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "If she's alive - damn, those thighs..."
  731. [10:23 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... Shadow puts the shard away.
  732. [10:23 PM] Mizuki: Even Alicia can see the beauty on some things!
  733.  
  734. [10:24 PM] Kaperis: John bows his head. "Sorry..." he mumbles.
  735. [10:24 PM] Faerie: (Fucking Alexander)
  736. [10:24 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "I have faith in my Morninglord. That even though I suffer, I shall help the world to be a place less plaged by the dead." She grins, toothily...
  737. [10:25 PM] Faerie: Razmik nods, trying to understand her sacrifice.
  738. [10:26 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "You too, brother. Have faith." She grins.
  739. [10:27 PM] Faerie: "A world with people you serving in it, is a world worth living in, sister. That's what I think."
  740. [10:28 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Living is a strange phrase." She shakes her head, waving her hand. "Now run along, and don't let me ever see you down there in the streets as zombies."
  741.  
  742. [10:28 PM] Mizuki: "Not coming with us?" - Asked Alicia
  743. [10:29 PM] Faerie: "Can we have your name, at least?"
  744. [10:29 PM] §upposition: "..."
  745. [10:29 PM] §upposition: Denalthir sheathes her Piton finally and regards the ghoul with something a little friendlier than hostility(edited)
  746. [10:31 PM] Faerie: Razmik checks in his pouch for anything she would like to keep, before setting on a piece of parchment with part of certain holy texts written on it; the same he could have to use to cast some spells if his symbol were misplaced.
  747. [10:31 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (>asking me for a name)
  748. [10:31 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (>30 minutes later)
  749. [10:32 PM] Faerie: Then he offers it to the ghoul, explaining: "these particular verses are of significance to my order. It would be my hope to see you get some comfort from their warmth."
  750. [10:32 PM] Faerie: (A d v e n t u r e r s)
  751. [10:33 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "On my relinquary, what name should I have? Amongst the fallen, I am merely oneof the many." She shakes her head. "I was given Claire when I was a child. As an undead, I feel shame in carrying the name that the church granted to me."
  752. [10:33 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: She does a running jump, landing beside you, before taking the parchment, gently.
  753. [10:33 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The fact that it doesn't burn her is probably a good sign.
  754. [10:36 PM] Faerie: (Oh man)
  755.  
  756. [10:37 PM] Mizuki: "You shouldn't feel ashamed. Doesn't matter if you're an undead or not, what matters is that you kept your conscience, you're still yourself" - Said Alicia
  757. [10:37 PM] Faerie: "You remain you all the same.", Razmik stands up. "Thank you."
  758. [10:37 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "May the blessing of Lathander go with you." She smiles, performing a small ritualistic blessing.
  759. [10:39 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... Razmik: You have received Blessing of the Morninglord. Once per day, as a bonus action, you may cause your next Melee or Ranged Weapon Attack to be imbued with a divine light, that causes great pain to undead, for additional 2d6 radiant damage. In addition, you are able to activate this Blessing as part of your bonus action to initiate a Smite spell, or as part of your Smite ability.
  760.  
  761. [10:40 PM] Mizuki: (Alicia was so nice, but she only cares about Raz :sadpopo:)
  762. [10:41 PM] Faerie: (Oh. Well, I wasn't expecting that. Also, same faith bias are strong :smugsatori:)
  763. [10:41 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (I am sorry. It wouldn't be good for spellcasters :sadpopo: )
  764. [10:41 PM] Faerie: (Holy fugg, though)
  765. [10:41 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (But karma is a thing, I am sure.)
  766.  
  767. [10:42 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: She doesn't seem to be willing to go with you, for reasons related to her pack - she uses a good portion of her divine power to keep them in check, civil, and slowly converting them to the ways that they were in life.
  768. [10:42 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: And should she fall, it would be a matter of releasing a group of sentient undeads upon this city - the city can do without even more of that.
  769. [10:43 PM] Mizuki: "Well... Take care then" - Said Alicia - "Lets get going, everyone"
  770. [10:44 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Azura caws softly. "Good-aligned undead. You don't see those very often, Master."
  771. [10:44 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Once again, you set out on your way toward the tower, rumored to be haunted by by an undead wyvern.
  772. [10:44 PM] Faerie: (Oh god brb I fucked up)
  773. [10:45 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You can see it at the distance, three towers looming over a castle in the centre, with the one closest to you visible in finer detail.
  774. [10:45 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It's a tower of marble, same stone as the one used for the Complex's walls.
  775. [10:46 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It's a very traditional watchtower, except for the material, and stands valiant against the gloomy sky.
  776. [10:46 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You can see the top part of the tower, and indeed - a draconic creature is nested there, resting at the time being. Waitng.
  777. [10:47 PM] §upposition: Denalthir looks up
  778. [10:47 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: From the Dwarf's words, it's "much easier to go from the outside of the tower" - and you spot a few windows that you can make an easy break and entry. Or rather, just entry - no windows to stop you.
  779. [10:47 PM] §upposition: "Looks like we're gonna be busy today..."
  780. [10:49 PM] Faerie: (Sorry)
  781. [10:49 PM] Mizuki: "Well, looks like we will need to climb up" - Said Alicia looking up
  782. [10:49 PM] Mizuki: (don't worry)
  783. [10:50 PM] Faerie: (Kind of, uh, put pepper in my tea thinking it was grounded cinnamon...)
  784. [10:50 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: How will you tackle this problem?

  789. [10:51 PM] §upposition: Denalthir approaches the tower to get a good look around it.
  790. [10:51 PM] §upposition: "...Are we going in?"
  791. [10:52 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The tower here DOES have a ground entrance, clear of zombies even.
  792. [10:52 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The gate is open, into a dark hallway... stained with blood.
  793. [10:52 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: A spiral staircase can be spotted deep within the hall.

  796. [10:54 PM] Mizuki: "Actually... I guess we're not climbing." - Said Alicia pointing to the entrance - "We can go inside from there, see? Gotta be careful though, we don't know what's inside"
  797. [10:55 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "The fact that it's clear of undead makes me feel sort of... uneasy." Recelle comments. "But I guess even they don't like going into wizard's towers, huh?"
  798. [10:55 PM] Faerie: Razmik peeks over, noticing the blood.
  799. [10:56 PM] Faerie: ''Whatever came in through here, probably wasn't something the undead were too fond of...''
  800. [10:56 PM] Faerie: (Maybe it's Seemont Balmond!)
  801.  
  802. [10:58 PM] Faerie: (Also, Koga: that Smite-esque blessing is a bonus action which works with either Smite spells or Divine Smite. I'm assuming you can't triple-smite, though? Since you'd be stacking two bonus actions on top of a bonus action then, or something)
  803. [10:59 PM] Faerie: (Nevermind, regular Smite apparently isn't even a bonus action. Still, valid concern!)
  804. [10:59 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (You can activate blessing as part of your bonus action to cast a smite spell, or as part of the not-action to smite someone.)
  805. 11:00 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (If you for example ran out of all class abilities, and are attacking normally, you can still activate it as a bonus)
  806. [11:00 PM] Faerie: (But I can't cast a smite spell, append the blessing to it, and THEN burn a slot for regular smite, can I?)
  807. [11:00 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (You can.)
  808. [11:01 PM] Faerie: (And activate the Aspergillum holy water while I'm at it, oh god
  809. [11:01 PM] Faerie: >you can
  810. Oh GOD)
  811. [11:01 PM] Mizuki: Alicia peeks over and stares at the blood too. What kind of creature could have done something like that? Huge claws? A swordcut?
  812. [11:01 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Investigation.

  817. [11:02 PM] Mizuki: (tehehe)
  818. [11:02 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You are able to deduct that it was of formerly undead, being.... chopped into fine pieces, so fine that it's mistakenable for blood, in the hallway.

  845. [11:07 PM] Faerie: (:sadpopo:)
  846. [11:07 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You are able to get slightly more information from this - the hallway is trapped with some sort of... Cloud of Dagger spell trigger.

  848. [11:07 PM] Mizuki: (should I take the damage too?)

She throws herself backward out of the hall entirely too late, and is sprawled unceremoniously at the entrance, bleeding badly.
  852. [11:09 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Just as soon as the cloud of biting steels appeared, it disappeared.

  890. [11:17 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "I can check around the outside of the tower, if you require it." Azura communicates telepathically.(edited)
  891. [11:17 PM] Kaperis: The legendary 'Deathly Rock Drop' was infamous in Armsdale.
  892. [11:18 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Perhaps even angering the dragon to lure it. But I'd... prefer not to do that, Master. Being eaten by an undead dragon cannot be pleasant, even if in passing."

  907. [11:21 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Azura is able to share vision with you, but without it it's fine as well - a quick cursory examination tells you that the tower itself seems safe on the outside. The spaces that serve as windows peek into barrack rooms, filled with bunkers and personal storage. It's a very watchtower-y setup.
  908. [11:22 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The trap itself seem to have a daily "charge" limit, but otherwise triggers if there's anyone within its trigger area.
  909. [11:22 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: There are some more specifics, such as bypasses and exceptions.
  910. [11:23 PM] Faerie: (Yup, definitely wizards :sadpopo:
  911. [11:23 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Creatures too small, for example, are exempt from triggering, and those who are registered as a guest or higher in the spell weave are able to bypass the trap.
  912. [11:23 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Too small ranks around cats to smaller. Anything of halfling size or bigger is a valid target.

  914. [11:24 PM] Mizuki: "There's no way I'm stepping inside that room again" - Said Alicia turning to the party and explaining - "Lets just climb, and enter on the first window we see"
  915. [11:25 PM] Faerie: ''Well, erm''
  916. [11:25 PM] Faerie: Razmik points at the golem.
  917. [11:25 PM] Mizuki: "Do you think you can enter without triggering the spell, Azura?" - Asked Alicia telepathically
  918. [11:25 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The golem turns to recognize Razmik.
  919. [11:25 PM] Mizuki: "Actually, uh... There's no need for that, nevermind" - Said Alicia changing her mind
  920. [11:25 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Likely." Azura nods. " I am small enough if your deductions are correct, Master."
  921. [11:25 PM] Faerie: ''Basically... do you think it can climb?'' Watching it turn to him gave him an idea.
  922. [11:26 PM] Faerie: How large was it, again?
  923. [11:26 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Like... 8 feet tall.
  924. [11:27 PM] Faerie: (Oh geez. That's tall. Did the daggers cover the whole room, vertically?)
  925. [11:27 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Climbing is awkward concept for a construct, but it can likely try.
  926. [11:27 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (You aren't sure - daggers are opaque as solid objects go, and they filled your vision.)
  927.  
  928. [11:28 PM] Faerie: Probably not a good idea to hope whoever was in here's a shorty, then.
  929. [11:29 PM] Faerie: (I was thinking about letting the guardian carry people over while they stand on its shoulders :sadpopo:)
  930. [11:29 PM] Faerie: Razmik asks again, ''if we're greeted with knives and razors at the start of a hallway, what would make us think there's not something worse by the stairs?''
  931. [11:30 PM] Faerie: (I'm getting paranoid, man)
  932. [11:30 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Like, greeted by the stairs? Animated stairs?"
  933. [11:30 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Recelle seems almost entertained by the idea for a second. A self-moving stair!
  934. [11:30 PM] Faerie: ''No, I me-'' that sounded horrifying.
  935. [11:31 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: That would be funny, but would be super awkward. How would people even know when to get on and off those stairs?
  936.  
  937. [11:31 PM] Faerie: (Recelle pls)
  938. [11:32 PM] Mizuki: "Well, we need to get up there somehow" - Said Alicia - "I can investigate the stairs when we're inside, for now lets just climb"
  939. [11:32 PM] Faerie: ''If we're talking about animated objects, I'm glad we are entering a tower and not a windmill, at least...''
  940. [11:32 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Well...
  941. [11:33 PM] Mizuki: Alicia starts climbing the tower
  942. [11:33 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: This would be a silly time to ask if anyone had any climbing gears, huh?
  943. [11:33 PM] Faerie: (Wew, can't you guys just Misty Step over?)
  944. [11:33 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Good thing the tower isn't too horrible in term of scalability. There are signs where it was treated to repel invaders, but the runes on the outside of the walls have been tampered with previously.
  945. [11:33 PM] Kaperis: Does adventuring gear count? Probably not.
  946. [11:34 PM] §upposition: Denalthir keeps thinking...
  947. [11:34 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (It actually does - at least there are ropes in there to make things easier if someone gets up)
  948. [11:34 PM] Faerie: (Adventurer pack has rope, but not much else)
  949. [11:34 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The windows themselves are roughly 40 feet up in the air.
  950. [11:35 PM] Mizuki: "I can drop a rope for you guys, if you're having trouble" - Said Alicia - "just give me a second"
  951. [11:35 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Climb speed is at half of your speed, so.. that'd take a bit under 3 rounds if you were to climb up. It's not a difficult climb at all, though.
  952. [11:35 PM] Mizuki: (should I roll anything?)
  953. [11:35 PM] §upposition: "...Rope..."
  954. [11:35 PM] Faerie: ''Alicia, hold up. Who's the strongest person here? Maybe they should attempt to climb first, and help whoever's next with rope. I've got some on me, incidentally!''
  955. [11:36 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The shield guardian stands in front of you, Razmik.
  956. [11:36 PM] §upposition: Denalthir looks at her piton...what were these things used for again...?
  957. [11:36 PM] §upposition: And with a rope too....
  958. [11:36 PM] Faerie: ''Yeah, like that. Good thinking. Would you really be able to help John up, though...?''
  959. [11:36 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The shield guardian takes a look at John.
  960. [11:37 PM] Mizuki: (what's a piton?)
  961. [11:37 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The shield guardian doesn't seem too expressive after that.
  962. [11:37 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (A "nail" used for mountainclimbing. Or for crucifixtion sometimes.)
  963. [11:37 PM] Kaperis: (... Ohhh, wait, so climbing is covered by Athletics?)
  964. [11:37 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Yes.)
  965. [11:37 PM] Kaperis: (Derp.)
  966. [11:38 PM] Faerie: (E a s y l i f e)
  967. [11:38 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (There's no armor check penalty either in 5e. So...)
  968. [11:38 PM] Kaperis: John pokes his index fingers together coyly. "Erm... I guess I'll give it a try."
  969. [11:39 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The walls are rough and there are a few natural footholds. It's DC 5 without a rope, and DC 0 with a rope's assistance.
  970. [11:39 PM] Kaperis: As a kid, John used to climb trees in the park and peoples' backyards! How different could it be? Nothing could go wrong!(edited)
  971. [11:39 PM] Faerie: (What. That's a cakewalk!)
  972. [11:39 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: There are no automatic failure by roll of 1.
  973. [11:40 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... There are runes of lightning on the side of the walls that have been previously deactivated, and it seems that nobody bothered reactivating them.
  974. [11:40 PM] Kaperis: After a quick refresher on how the climbing gear works, John starts up the wall.
  975. [11:41 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Give me a Str(Ath) check.
  976.  
  977. [11:41 PM] Faerie: (1d20+6 for John. I think that's literally an insta-pass)
  978. [11:41 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Yeah.)
  979. [11:42 PM] Faerie: (Excitement.)
  980. [11:42 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Theoretically I shouldn't let people go around unchecked.)
  981. [11:42 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (in practice, you are right.)
  982.  
  983. [11:42 PM] Kaperis: roll 1d20+6
  984. [11:42 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+6]: 20, Result: 26
  985. [11:42 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Yeah, no.
  986. [11:42 PM] Kaperis: (That is the third 20 this game.)
  987. [11:42 PM] Faerie: (RIP, John toppled the tower over and it crumbled)
  988. [11:42 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You are able to climb up without any incident, as well as mark the steps where one should take.
  989. [11:43 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Not only you did it without incidents, you left a "trail" - no further climb checks are necessary for the party and you.
  990. [11:43 PM] §upposition: (Tower fell on dragon gg)
  991. [11:43 PM] Faerie: (Wew)
  992.  
  993. [11:43 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... Furthermore, you discovreed a previous"trail", circling around the tower upward.
  994. [11:44 PM] Kaperis: Someone climbed all the way up from the bottom?
  995. [11:44 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It seems that there were someone climbing the tower on the outside previously.
  996. [11:44 PM] Mizuki: (nice)
  997. [11:44 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Maybe not all the way, just to the topmost chamber.
  998. [11:44 PM] Faerie: (What sort of madman would do that?)
  999. [11:44 PM] Mizuki: "Oh whoa, you're pretty good at that, John" - Complimented Alicia
  1000. [11:45 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Upright citizens retrieving packages.)
  1001. [11:45 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (USPs send things to wrong places, and sometimes you just need to get it back, right?)
  1002.  
  1003. [11:46 PM] Kaperis: John waves down from the 'window' once the ropes are in place. "We can continue inside, or outside. Inside might be safer -- getting too close to that wyvern seems risky."
  1004. [11:47 PM] §upposition: Denalthir is wary of more surprises: she lets someone else go ahead of her to follow John
  1005. [11:47 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: There were once window frames, but the glass has since been removed.
  1006. [11:47 PM] Faerie: ''We need to do something about our friend over here, too... Better keep going from the inside, I agree!''
  1007. [11:47 PM] Kaperis: "Ahaha, thanks... Beginner's luck, I guess?," John says to Alicia bashfully.
  1008. [11:47 PM] Faerie: They -should- be able to pull that out. Possibly?
  1009. [11:47 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Recelle climbs up with ease! ....
  1010. [11:47 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Shadow climbs up with flourish.
  1011. [11:47 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Shield guardian carries the princess with it upward. :neutral_face:
  1012. [11:47 PM] Kaperis: "With the runes outside deactivated, and the windows removed... this place looks pretty cleaned out. Maybe it was looted."
  1013. [11:48 PM] Faerie: Razmik goes up after Shadow, as well.
  1014.  
  1015. [11:48 PM] Faerie: (>upward)
  1016. [11:48 PM] §upposition: Denalthir follows after the shield guardian, seeing them move with ease and uninterrupted
  1017. [11:48 PM] Faerie: (Oh god what)
  1018. [11:48 PM] Mizuki: Alicia goes up too
  1019. [11:48 PM] Kaperis: (Now that's a sturdy rope.)
  1020. [11:48 PM] Faerie: ''I, I was going to suggest John and me threw down a rope or three, and attempted to help the golem upwards, but...''
  1021. [11:49 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The shield guardian's idea of climb includes grabbing onto the wall with a lot of strength, lift itself up, and repeat. Sort of climbing the tower like a big tree.
  1022. [11:49 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d20
  1023. [11:49 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20]: 15, Result: 15
  1024. [11:49 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: If the shield guardian's body is scraped by the stone, there are no signs of it.
  1025. [11:49 PM] Faerie: Holy shit.
  1026. [11:51 PM] Faerie: ''I'm gonna need to exercise more if I want to be able to keep this job!'', Razmik thought. Just kidding, though.
  1027. [11:51 PM] Mizuki: (hime sleeping on the shield golem's arms)
  1028. [11:52 PM] Mizuki: (that's actually pretty cute)
  1029. [11:52 PM] Faerie: (Did Sawai die?)
  1030. [11:52 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Shield guardian's using the princess as a hat now.)
  1031. [11:52 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ( :smugpopo: )
  1032. [11:52 PM] Faerie: ''Anyways, er...''
  1033.  
  1034. [11:52 PM] Faerie: Taking a look around, Razmik checks the room for anything of note.
  1035. [11:53 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: There are 8 bunker beds, and 8 chests.
  1036. [11:53 PM] Faerie: It's probably as John said, so he'll just assume the chests are empty.
  1037. [11:53 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: There's a trapdoor down, and a door toward somewhere.
  1038.  
  1039. [11:54 PM] §upposition: Denalthir is now overly cautious of her surroundings. This tower is overtly Arcane, and when it comes to the Arcane, no amount of caution is too much
  1040. [11:54 PM] §upposition: Arcana check
  1041. [11:54 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Hmm.
  1042. [11:54 PM] §upposition: (I want to see if there are magical traps around)
  1043. [11:54 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Investigation for traps.)
  1044. [11:54 PM] §upposition: (Investigation it is)
  1045. [11:54 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Arcana if you want to learn more of the nature of the spells that make up for the traps, or perhaps manipulate them.)
  1046. [11:54 PM] §upposition: Roll 1d20+1
  1047. [11:54 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+1]: 16, Result: 17
  1048. [11:55 PM] Faerie: (When trying to notice traps, wouldn't Perception also make sense? Or is that more for living things?)
  1049. [11:55 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The trapdoor is, contray to the name, not trapped.
  1050. [11:55 PM] Faerie: (Trapdoorspideronthehouse)
  1051. [11:55 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Hm. Both can be a thing... Investigation is good for things with clues that you put together.)
  1052. [11:56 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Perception's for hidden stuffs, yeah.)
  1053. [11:56 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: There's one bed missing. And one chest.
  1054. [11:56 PM] §upposition: (Why is the count wrong :sadpopo: )
  1055. [11:56 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The empty space left behind has the outline where the dust did not quite settle in properly.
  1056. NEW MESSAGES
  1057. [11:56 PM] Faerie: (It always is :firepopo:)
  1058.  
  1059. [11:57 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The door outward is locked ... On your side. So that's a non-issue.
  1060. [11:57 PM] §upposition: Denaalthir notices the seemingly missing furniture and thinks...
  1061. [11:57 PM] Faerie: Razmik looks at Denalthir, and suggest maybe it's better to pretend nothing was ever there to begin with.
  1062. [11:57 PM] Faerie: (Trying to protect our sanity score)
  1063. [11:58 PM] Mizuki: Alicia is really tempted to open the chests and check whatever is inside
  1064. [11:58 PM] Mizuki: Could they be trapped?
  1065. [11:58 PM] Mizuki: (investigation)
  1066. [11:58 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Shadow is tempted to as well.
  1067. [11:58 PM] Mizuki: roll 1d20+12
  1068. [11:58 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+12]: 14, Result: 26
  1069. [11:58 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Fireball sets - oh wait.
  1070. [11:58 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: There are no traps on the chests.
  1071. [11:58 PM] §upposition: Denalthir inspects the floor where the furniture seems to be missing.
  1072. [11:58 PM] Faerie: ''I doubt there's anything in them, but you could just kick them open, I guess?''
  1073. [11:59 PM] §upposition: (Looking for signs the furniture was moved)
  1074. [11:59 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The floor is stone, and doesn't seem to be hiding anything. The furnitures indeed seems to have been moved out, somewhere.
  1075. [11:59 PM] Mizuki: "No traps on this room, Shadow, help yourself" - Said Alicia smiling noticing the boy's temptation to open the chests
  1076.  
  1077. [11:59 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "I invoke my divine right to loot!"
  1078. [11:59 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Shadow says, opening the first chest.
  1079. [11:59 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Uh."
  1080. November 13, 2016
  1081. [12:00 AM] §upposition: "...Uh?"
  1082. [12:00 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: The chest is filled with ... Bones and meats.
  1083. [12:00 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Upon disturbed, it slowly animates itself, rising up from the chest, like an ooze of meat and bone.
  1084. [12:01 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d20+4
  1085. [12:01 AM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+4]: 3, Result: 7
  1086. [12:01 AM] Faerie: Razmik wonders what they were expecting it t-
  1087. [12:01 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Shadow closes the chest. clicks
  1088.  
  1089. [12:01 AM] §upposition: Denalthir prepared to rush over to stab the reanimating meat...but stops when the chest is closed
  1090. [12:02 AM] §upposition: "...Did it stop?"
  1091. [12:02 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Well, I guess you found the people that was prviously here!" The shard helpfully suggests to Shadow.
  1092. [12:02 AM] Faerie: ''I was going to try to force it close, whatever that was...''
  1093. [12:02 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Pa..."
  1094. [12:02 AM] Mizuki: "Whoa, what the fuck" - Said Alicia disgusted
  1095. [12:02 AM] Mizuki: "Sorry about that, shadow..."
  1096. [12:02 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Without connectivity between bones and muscles, the body was unable to properly reanimate.
  1097. [12:03 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "No, no, that's fine." Shadow says. And proceed to check another chest.
  1098. [12:03 AM] Faerie: ''Really...''
  1099. [12:03 AM] §upposition: Denalthir readies herself
  1100. [12:03 AM] §upposition: ...Standing off to the side
  1101. [12:03 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Shadow opens and closes the second chest. "Nope."
  1102. [12:03 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... And repeats until the 5th chest. "Ohh."
  1103. [12:03 AM] Mizuki: "Don't open any more chests, it's clear they're all the same"
  1104. [12:04 AM] Faerie: Razmik holds his warhammer readied, going next to him as he repeats the process.
  1105. [12:04 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "No, no, here." Shadow pulls out a set of finely woven chainmail.
  1106. [12:04 AM] §upposition: "..."
  1107. [12:04 AM] §upposition: Denalthir checks it for magic immediately
  1108. [12:04 AM] Kaperis: "Huh. It must've been too heavy to take along," John guesses.
  1109. [12:04 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: The sheen is beautiful, althrough the links inbetween are stained with blood and chunks of meat.
  1110. [12:05 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: And shards of bones and... Yeah.
  1111. [12:05 AM] §upposition: (Arcana?)
  1112. [12:05 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Yep.
  1113. [12:05 AM] Kaperis: John looks closely and notices it. "... We... can probably get it uncursed later."
  1114. [12:05 AM] §upposition: Roll 1d20+3
  1115. [12:05 AM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+3]: 2, Result: 5
  1116. [12:05 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: it's not strictly magical, just seems artsy to you.

  1118. [12:05 AM] §upposition: "..."
  1119. [12:06 AM] Mizuki: "Wait wait, put it down shadow" - Said Alicia - "it might be cursed"
  1120. [12:06 AM] Mizuki: (arcana too)
  1121. [12:06 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Eh?"
  1122. [12:06 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Go for it Alicia.
  1123. [12:06 AM] Mizuki: roll 1d20+5
  1124. [12:06 AM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+5]: 3, Result: 8
  1125. [12:06 AM] §upposition: Denalthir takes a closer look at the armor...specifically at the bones and chunks inside it...
  1126. [12:06 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Please.
  1127. [12:06 AM] Mizuki: (:sadpopo:)
  1128. [12:06 AM] Kaperis: "It looks like this killed whoever worse it last, see?" John points it out. Pretty metal, there. rimshot(edited)
  1129. [12:06 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Shadow winces and shakes the thing slightly cleaner.
  1130. [12:07 AM] Faerie: (You mean Five Knights at Fwombo's? Never played it, myself)
  1131.  
  1132. [12:07 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Pity too, such a beautiful chain. Would fetch a good amount of money. Erm... Not that there's a market for money."
  1133.  
  1134. [12:08 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Beyond that, the rest of the chest contained nothing noteworthy beyond gore.
  1135. [12:08 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: So... Where's the last chest?
  1136. [12:08 AM] Mizuki: "Mhmmm... I'm not sure if it's cursed" - Said Alicia staring at the piece of armor - "Better not risk it though"
  1137.  
  1138. [12:08 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d20-1 wisdom Shadow

  1142. [12:08 AM] Faerie: ''Well, even if it is... you know, chain mail is quite useful to have around...''
  1143. [12:08 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Shadow opens the nineth chest.
  1144. [12:09 AM] §upposition: "...Where did you find that?"
  1145. [12:09 AM] Faerie: ''Huh.''
  1146. [12:09 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: A seemingly wrong darkness twists and contorts, as the nineth chest where it was previously missing was opened by Shadow.
  1147. [12:09 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Shadow gives out a shout in panick.
  1148. [12:10 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d20-1
  1149. [12:10 AM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20-1]: 1, Result: 0
  1150. [12:10 AM] Faerie: Shit shit
  1151. [12:10 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "No, no worries, everything's alright. Calm down and close the chest." The shard's soothing Suggestion sounds, to Shadow.
  1152. [12:10 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Shadow calmly closes the chest, under a powerful Suggestion.
  1153. [12:10 AM] Faerie: ...
  1154. [12:10 AM] §upposition: (WEW)
  1155. [12:11 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... Wait, I thought there was a chest here-" Shadow says.
  1156. [12:11 AM] Faerie: ...Are there any locks around?
  1157. [12:11 AM] §upposition: "SHADOW. What did you just do."
  1158. [12:11 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "I don't know!" Shadow says, panicked.
  1159. [12:11 AM] Faerie: ''What chest? I think you nearly tripped''
  1160. [12:11 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Recelle squints her eyes at the empty spot, suspecious.
  1161. [12:12 AM] §upposition: Denalthir pushes past him and inspects the area he just looked at
  1162. [12:12 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Persuation, Razmik.
  1163. [12:12 AM] Faerie: roll 1d20+5
  1164. [12:12 AM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+5]: 1, Result: 6
  1165. [12:12 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Denalthir: There's nothing there. There's definitely no chest or anything.
  1166. [12:12 AM] Faerie: (WEW)
  1167. [12:12 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: [Nightmare] "N-no, I definitely saw a chest... Something..."
  1168. [12:12 AM] Faerie: cough cough
  1169.  
  1170. [12:14 AM] §upposition: Denalthir closes her eyes and meditates for a short bit. She can't let this tower trick her...this was all still magic!
  1171. [12:14 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Something isn't right." Shadow seems uneasy.
  1172. [12:14 AM] §upposition: "...We should move on from here."
  1173. [12:14 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Like, something isin't just not right, something's wrong, fam."
  1174. [12:14 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Chill, kid." The shard softly vibrates. "This powerful artifact of Orcus saw nothing, there can be nothing at all."
  1175. [12:15 AM] Faerie: ''Maybe we should be more careful with what we open, no...?''
  1176. [12:15 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Oh, I guess you are right, pa." Shadow decide to not dweel on it, and shakes the chainmail clean of refuse, folding it and tucking it under his arm.
  1177. [12:15 AM] Kaperis: "..." John is quiet, but... seriously, did no one else see that?! Is he the only one? Maybe it's just him. He should forget about it.
  1178.  
  1179. [12:15 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Where to, now?
  1180. [12:16 AM] Mizuki: Alicia feels uneasy, she approaches the empty spot and examines it as well. There's gotta be something here
  1181. [12:16 AM] Faerie: Razmik didn't want Recelle or Shadow to worry, but... yeah, he saw it too. He knew everyone else did, as well.
  1182. [12:16 AM] Mizuki: (can I roll arcana?)
  1183. [12:16 AM] Mizuki: (or investigation?)
  1184. [12:16 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: You can.
  1185. [12:16 AM] Mizuki: roll 1d20+5
  1186. [12:16 AM] §upposition: Denalthir looks toward the door leading out...the trapdoor leads down, surely it wasn't the way to proceed.
  1187. [12:16 AM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+5]: 10, Result: 15
  1188. [12:17 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Nothing on Arcana.
  1189. [12:17 AM] Mizuki: roll 1d20+12
  1190. [12:17 AM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+12]: 13, Result: 25
  1191. [12:17 AM] Mizuki: (investigation now)
  1192. [12:18 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Huh, what is that? You found a small piece of pepper tucked away between the wall and the floor, seemingly untouched by dirt.
  1193. [12:18 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: You have a very bad feeling about this piece of paper.
  1194.  
  1195. [12:20 AM] Mizuki: Alicia feels a chill down her spine. It's probably wise to just leave that there, but...
  1196. [12:21 AM] Mizuki: Alicia unsheates her dagger and touch the piece of paper with it, trying to bring it a little closer
  1197. [12:21 AM] Mizuki: (I'm curious :sadpopo:)
  1198. [12:21 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: It's a piece of paper.
  1199. [12:21 AM] Mizuki: (no writings?)
  1200. [12:21 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: You draw it closer to you, so that it's visible.
  1201. [12:21 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: You are glad that Azura is not a cat right now, because curiousity would've murdered her.
  1202. [12:21 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: [Nightmare] "I am watching you."
  1203. [12:22 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: The paper has a simple phrase, and a childish doodle of a bleeding, red eye.
  1204. [12:22 AM] Mizuki: (I'm spooked)
  1205. [12:22 AM] §upposition: "...Alicia, we should go..."
  1206. [12:23 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Almost as if on queue
  1207. [12:23 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: You hear a strange roar, between a roar in anger and a laughing cackle of a mad demon.
  1208. [12:23 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "And I... See.. You..."
  1209. [12:23 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: You've heard this voice before, in Windsmere.
  1210. [12:24 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: The tower shakes and groans, as if a terrible weight has been lifted from it.
  1211. [12:24 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: You can hear the cry of a wyvern.
  1212. [12:24 AM] Kaperis: (Who else hears it? Just Alicia?)
  1213. [12:24 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Everyone.)
  1214. [12:25 AM] Kaperis: "... W-what is it with this thing and dragons...?" John grumbles.
  1215. [12:25 AM] §upposition: Denalthir turns pale, her heart sinking
  1216. [12:25 AM] Mizuki: "Oh my god" - Alicia stands up and steps back, leaving the piece of paper on the floor - "It's that thing again!"
  1217. [12:25 AM] §upposition: She prepares to either escape or fight
  1218. [12:25 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: The glassless windows immediately seems to fill with eyeballs and tendons, sealing all sources of light within the room, as the "wyvern" pours into the room, snarling and hissing.
  1219. [12:25 AM] Faerie: (Fuck)
  1220. [12:25 AM] Faerie: (I wasn't scared 'til it turned eldritch)
  1221. [12:26 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: I would normally call for combat, but it's also extremely hate.
  1222. [12:26 AM] Faerie: (EXTREME HATE)
  1223. [12:26 AM] Kaperis: John looks over at Recelle and Shadow. People in the dream were made unconscious last time. How are they faring now?
  1224. [12:26 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: What do, adventurers? An hour or two to go, or stop at a cliffhanger and hope for reinforcements?
  1225. [12:26 AM] §upposition: Denalthir looks over to Alicia and the paper she saw and yells one last thing. "ALICIA, DESTROY IT"
  1226. [12:26 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Shadow has fainted!
  1227. [12:26 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Recelle... is taking aim.
  1228. [12:26 AM] §upposition: (Cliffhanger tbh)
  1229. [12:27 AM] Faerie: (And the shard?)
  1230. [12:27 AM] Mizuki: Alicia stabs the piece of paper with her dagger over and over again!
  1231. [12:27 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Fuck if I know, Fae. Fuck if I know.)
  1232. [12:27 AM] Faerie: (No balls, no dignity)
  1233. [12:27 AM] Kaperis: (So, it only affects people native to the dream. Good to know...)
  1234. [12:27 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: That serves to do nothing, Alicia. It seems that there are just simply too many eyes for you to stab.
  1235. [12:27 AM] Faerie: (Burn it for good measure)
  1236. [12:27 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: There are just eyes all over the place.
  1237. [12:28 AM] §upposition: Denalthir runs over and gives the paper a stab with her piton for good measure
  1238.  
  1239. [12:28 AM] Mizuki: "Get ready for combat, everyone!" - Said Alicia pale(edited)
  1240. [12:28 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (It's dead, Jim.)
  1241. [12:28 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Stop killing the paper D:)
  1242. [12:28 AM] Mizuki: (alrighty, we cliffhanger now)
  1243. [12:28 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: 350 XP, and a boss fight to come.
  1244. [12:29 AM] Faerie: (Ruh roh)
  1245. [12:29 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: :firepopo:
  1246. [12:29 AM] Mizuki: >no bucky this time
  1247. [12:29 AM] Mizuki: we're doomed!!
  1248. [12:29 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: This is the moment when I realize I am acutlaly running a Call of Cthulhu game.
