Ordeal in Ordon, Session 4

<DM> *Recap! Last time......
<DM> *You found some Ordon Villagers imprisoned in that one cave-like area beneath the West Guardhouse and rescued them. There was also a crack in the wall of the prison, so in order to take out two stones with one bird, you decided to blow it open by luring the enemy guards back to the prison and blow up both them and the wall. It worked quite well, especially after getting one of them to die by fall damage.
<DM> *Behind the prison was a nice trove of treasures, as well as a rotting Moblin with a spear. You decided to then head to the Moblin Forest with the spear in hand, where you were swamped by Moblins, including one super sized Moblin. You tried showing the spear to them, but all it did was make them assume you guys imprisoned and killed that one Moblin. So instead, Flareclaw did what Flareclaw does best - setting something on fire.
<AbsentThirdEye> And that's how the world died
<DM> *With a fireball to Grit Gos' face and a flurry of sparks to all the other Moblins, you somehow got them on your side. .... science, how does it work? Anyhow, they agreed to join you with a condition - find and free the rest of the Moblins that Mayor Milo and his Achemen army stole. With that, you headed back to the west guardhouse (still somehow undetected) and passed out.
<DM> -=ORDON QUEST, SESSION 4, STARTO!=-
<DM> *As the loading screen dissipates from your nightmares, you all awaken with sunlight filtering in through one of the windows, blinding your face with blindness.
* Tyria_Lazzen is still sleeping, outside
* Nimono grumbles, half asleep
<DM> *And Tyria got blinded with unfiltered sunlight.
* Lunaria unattaches herself from the furry pillow and gets up
* Flareclaw yawns as he clumsily wakes up and knocks over something...
<Nimono> gyuh...
<DM> *Flareclaw, you knocked over a nearby torch, setting a poor leather armor on fire. Congrats for your clumsiness!
<DM> *Next to you, Kite and the rest of the prisoners you rescued are all geared up...... where's my shells.
<Tyria_Lazzen> 3h, 13m
<Lunaria> did we recover?
<Nimono> (do we count sleep as a full restore of health and magic?)
<DM> (hmm... sure)
<Tyria_Lazzen> 5h, 17m
<Flareclaw> 8h, 11m.
<DM> *The grungy barracks' beds aren't the greatest of shape, but sure, they cause a full recovery just like an inn would. Not sure how that works...
<Nimono> (oh, btw...the doran's blade I picked up...its +2 hearts bonus only works if I equip it, right?)
<Kite> Oh good, you folks are awake. Tros was about to try poking you (pointing at Flareclaw), I'm glad he wasn't stupid enough to do it.
<DM> (yes)
<DM> (in general, any passive bonuses on stuff only applies if equipped)
<Nimono> Ah...good morning...
<Kite> Mornin'! Ready to go bash some Achemen skulls in?
* Tyria_Lazzen can somehow hear the conversation, despite the fact she is outside
<Nimono> Yeah...once I finish waking up... *yawns*
<DM> *Not only are you outside Tyria, but you're a little bit away from the guardhouse, plus you're somehow hearing through stone walls.
<Kite> I checked out the enemy positions a bit ago....
<Lunaria> We need to come with a plan of attack, since I think they out number us
<Nimono> On top of that...we also have another goal to accomplish, right?
<Kite> They've got at least 10 guards... but... they're split up.
<Kite> For some reason, most of them are guarding the Waterwheel. I also noticed that's where they've been having Fado go to help them build... something.
<Kite> There's three at the East Guardhouse, but given the proximity, if we all just try to attack one over the other, the rest will swarm and attack us. And in all likelihood, the rest of the villagers are at the East Guardhouse.
<Nimono> waterwheel, huh? I wonder, maybe that's where the kidnapped moblins are? Or maybe something more sinister...
<Kite> The waterwheel building isn't a large place really. It powers something, but... no one knows what.
<Nimono> Ah...
<Lunaria> hmmm
<Kite> Ordon Village hasn't been around for long, but when it was built, that building was already there.
<Nimono> the village was built around the waterwheel?
<Kite> Yeah. Mayor Bo doesn't even know its purpose, and he's the oldest inhabitant here.
* Tros appears, bearing the crappy Achemen guard gear.
<Tros> Alright Kite, everyone's geared up. We're ready when you guys are.
<Kite> Anyhow, here's our plan...
<Kite> Tros, the rest, and I, will go harass the guys at the Waterwheel. We're not aiming for a direct confrontation, just enough noise to distract them.
<Kite> Do you folks think you can get to the East Guardhouse and rescue the prisoners there?
<Lunaria> probably
<Nimono> We can definitely try
<Lunaria> is it a good idea to split up though?
<Nimono> No...not try. We MUST succeed!
<Kite> If we stick together, they outnumber us right now and they'll probably win.
<Kite> We're better off doing hit-and-run while you folks get the rest of our numbers back.
<Lunaria> They are split up though, if we attack one group as full force first, we have practically won
<Nimono> yes, but we'll be severely weakened afterwards
<Nimono> and the rest of the ground will run in and pick us off with ease
<Nimono> don't you remember how much we struggled against the first two?
<Lunaria> Yeah but I was the only one able to see in the dark
<Lunaria> Plus, they kinda got the jump on us
<Nimono> true. and we know what to expect now, so we can keep a light handy
<Kite> Either way, I'd rather we get all our forces back before we go for a full-on assault. Mayor Bo himself is quite a strong one if we can free him.
<Lunaria> Fair point
<Lunaria> Also, the achemen have been forcing the villagers to build something
<Lunaria> so I assume they have an ace up their sleeves
<Kite> Yeah, I heard from Fado, but every time I try asking, some guard interrupts and prevents him from speaking. Gah!
<Nimono> that's what happened to us, too
<Kite> You guys ready? We'll strike first, and then while we're doing that, go sneak into the East Guardhouse. Tros, hand them the key.
<Lunaria> I'm good to go
* Tros hands you folks a key.
* Flareclaw nods.
* Nimono accepts the key
<Nimono> You can count on us!
<Nimono> You can also count on Flareclaw to turn the Achemen into ashes pretty quickly.
<Kite> Sweet!
<Kite> Let's go!
<DM> *With that, Kite's group heads out. They head over to the shop building first, hiding behind it.
<DM> *They sidle to the north side of the shop wall, disappearing from your guys' sight.
* Flareclaw exits, stage right.
* Nimono follows Flareclaw, as usual
<DM> *A moment later, you can hear a monstrous scream across the other side, followed by a good amount of exaggerated yelling from your allies. It's probably safe to cross the bridge now without anyone noticing you.
* Flareclaw scurries across the bridge.
* Nimono rushes across the bridge as quickly as possible
* Tyria_Lazzen meanwhile is somewhere outside... Where?
* Lunaria follows
<Nimono> Ah, guys, I just remembered! ...where's Tyria?
<Lunaria> (well, you got into a tree before entering the city, so I assume outside the gate to the moblin forest)
* Lunaria shrugs
<DM> *Tyria, you suddenly wake up to the sounds of a plot device, sneaking up behind you. IT'S THE TREE YOU'RE RESTING ON, IT'S A TRAP!
<Nimono> (!!!)
* Tyria_Lazzen falls off the tree and facefaults
<DM> *Annnd congrats, the ground tastes sideways as you experience a ground to the face.
* Tyria_Lazzen didn't even open her mouth...
<DM> *No, but science did for you.
<AbsentThirdEye> ((That's illegal!))
<DM> *NEXT TIME ON DRAGON BALL Z! TYRIA SLEEPS IN A TREE, BUT THE TREE GOES SUPER SAIYAN! WILL TYRIA RUN TOWARDS THE PLOT OR CONTINUE TO FACE OFF AGAINST THIS SIDEPLOT THAT I'M ABOUT TO IGNORE? FIND OUT NEXT TIME ON SLEEPY TYRIA Z!
<DM> *Whelp, you folks see and hear nothing about Tyria.
* Tyria_Lazzen walks over to the somewhere near East Guardhouse
<Nimono> Hmm.. Maybe she'll turn up later
* Flareclaw approaches the east guardhouse.
<DM> *Right as you say that Nimono, Tyria wanders straight past you.
<Lunaria> there she is!
<DM> *Flareclaw, the east guardhouse seems.... vacant. Well, from the outside, that is.
* Lunaria nudges Nimono
<Nimono> See? :D
<DM> *The guardhouse stares you at you blankly.
* Lunaria stares back
<DM> *Its door stands tall and strong. NOTHING CAN PIECE THIS GREAT, WOODEN LOCKED DOOR!
<DM> .... pierce
* Flareclaw glares at the guardhouse.
<Nimono> ah, allow me to UNLOCK the secrets of this guardhouse for you
* Lunaria sneaks up and checks any windows
<DM> *Your glare causes the guardhouse to re-exist in reaction!
<DM> *You check the windows. There's no one inside... or so it seems.
<Lunaria> huh...
<Lunaria> odd
<DM> *Then again, it was the same for the last guardhouse.
* Nimono looks through the windows, too
* Tyria_Lazzen is just standing there, reluctant of the reluctancy
<DM> *You also look through the windows. Nope, no one there... except a hole in the middle of the floor on the inside.
<Nimono> ...Why is there a hole in the floor...
<Nimono> I smell a trap. I mean, come on, why wouldn't there be?
* Flareclaw continues glaring at an obviously locked wooden door...
<Nimono> let's all prepare to fight
* Nimono cautiously unlocks the door to the guardhouse using the key he was given
<DM> *The door glares back at Flareclaw. It tries so hard to glare.... it causes the key to snap when you try to turn the lock.
<Nimono> .................................WHAT
* Nimono glares at the door massively
<DM> *Congrats Flareclaw, you've defeated the natural entrance to the guardhouse by glaring at it so hard it glares its own lock into perma lock mode!
<DM> *Your collective glare causes the lock to just explode...... and the door opens.
<Nimono> Know your place, door. >:(
<Lunaria> ._.
<Nimono> at least it saved me from having to punch it.
<Tyria_Lazzen> Well, that door had a good amount of magic and science to it.
* Flareclaw swings the door open and enters.
* Nimono cautiously enters and prepares for a fight
<DM> *You enter, Flareclaw, and the swinging causes it to swing back, and the door immediately slams back into you, Flareclaw! (Roll Power vs. 10 successes)
<Flareclaw> $1d10
<Navi> Flareclaw: You rolled 1 Die with 10 Sides. Result: 2. Total: 2. Successes: 0.
<Nimono> (OW)
<DM> *Annnd Flareclaw is knocked back by the door, taking 4 damage.
* Nimono sighs and shakes his head
<DM> *Nimono, somehow you got through.
* Flareclaw loses a heart by getting knocked back by a wooden door. He then prepares to set fire by casting Psi Flare on the door.
<Flareclaw> $19d10
<Navi> Flareclaw: You rolled 19 Dice with 10 Sides. Result: 3, 7, 6, 4, 5, 4, 10, 8, 3, 3, 2, 3, 1, 8, 10, 10, 4, 6 and 2. Total: 99. Successes: 12.
<Nimono> GYAH!
<DM> *The door just decides to melt as a PSI Flare turns it to ashes.
<Flareclaw> 7h, 10m.
<Nimono> I was going to recommend you do that later...
<DM> *And that, folks, is Death #1 for Session 4!
<Nimono> But I completely agree with what you just did.
<Lunaria> ._.
<Nimono> that door DESERVED to die!
<DM> *Anyhow, with the spiteful door no longer an obstacle in your course to save some folks, ahead of you is a barracks layout similar to the West one, except there's a hole in the middle of this one.
* Flareclaw enters the guardhouse.
* Lunaria looks down the hole
* Nimono stares down into the hole
* Flareclaw glares into the hole.
<DM> *The armory rack is completely empty. Seems the Achemen are ready for battle!
<Lunaria> (there better not be a hand asking for paper coming up!)
* Tyria_Lazzen enters the entrance'd entrance
<Nimono> (Would you like to put your hand deep inside the hole?)
<DM> *You look, stare, and glare down the hole. You-
<DM> .......
<DM> *Nimono, in your efforts to stare down the hole, the darkness below consumes your balance, and you fall in. Roll Courage!
<Lunaria> ???
<Nimono> oh nooooooooo!

<Lunaria> (I was not aware we changed game to the mother series)
<Nimono> (good thing I have half fall damage~)
<DM> (I blame certain innuendos)
<Nimono> (dude, it's what pokemon omega ruby says when triggering certain legendary battles)
<DM> *There is actually a ladder leading down to this one as well.
<DM> (... ah)
<Nimono> 4h 8m
* Flareclaw , learning from last time, takes the ladder.
<DM> *Nimono, the darkness around you turns to light, as four torches spread throughout the cavern you've landed in all light up.
<Nimono> i hate heights D: they make me dizzy!
* Tyria_Lazzen clim- levitates down the ladder
<Nimono> ...uh. Th...that doesn't seem good... They lit on their own...
<Nimono> (are there any paths to take?)
<Lunaria> (I still got no respons back on my spot from above. ._.)
<DM> *It reveals one of those dark guards, a batlike figure, and this dear-god-what-is-that batlike humanoid figure, all surrounding you.
<Nimono> AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
<DM> *Lunaria, you're still looking down the hole. With the lights back on, you see Nimono is screeeeeeeeeeewed.
<Nimono> HELPMEHELPMEHELPMEHELPME
* Lunaria Dives into Nimono's shadow
<DM> *Annd now it's 3v2.
<Nimono> guys, hurry! i kinda need help heeeerreeee
<Tyria_Lazzen> ((Can I cast a Guard))
<DM> *Flareclaw, you're at the bottom as well.
<Tyria_Lazzen> ((Guard, Alpha at that))
<Nimono> Whew, glad you're here...
<DM> (just once, Tyria)
<Lunaria> (Does this mean the enemies have to spot check me?)
<DM> ... woops, hang on
* Tyria_Lazzen casts a Guard, Alpha at Nimono while she is still going down the ladder
<Tyria_Lazzen> 5h, 16m
<Lunaria> 10/10hp  6/8mp
<Nimono> 4h 8m | Guard, alpha (1 stack, +4 defense dice)
<DM> *Well, you showed up in Nimono's shadow, but you're in a room that's filled with light, sooo... no, they see you clearly.
<DM> *In the corners of the room, there are small prisons, each one with a different set of prisoners.
<DM> enemy stats up - http://zurpg.sephiroth.ws/thread-867.html
<Nimono> Gyeh... We gotta kill these things fast!
<DarkGuard> So you have arrived, just as Lord Milo predicted!

<DM> nice
<Ache> 6h | Covering DarkGuard
<Lunaria> I have 4 armour and 3 barrier
* Ache hits Lunaria, causing some bleeding!
<DM> uhh, barrier goes down first
<Lunaria> before the damage is halved?
<DM> no, damage halved, and then it hits the barrier
<Lunaria> let's see
<DM> bleeding should still hit you though
<DM> $endturn
<Navi> DM has ended Ache's turn.
<Navi> ROUND 1: Ache (7), Acheman (7), Tyria_Lazzen (7), Lunaria (6), Flareclaw (6), Nimono (1) and DarkGuard (1).
<Lunaria> 6 - 4 = 2
<Lunaria> and then halved 1
<Lunaria> am I counting wrong
<Lunaria> for me it seems my barrier is still up?
<Nimono> well it does say armor is counted after barrier
<Lunaria> oh right
<DM> yeah, so...
<Lunaria> but armour is counted before halving?
<Lunaria> ...
<DM> okay, regard it as two targets
<DM> so 20 - 14 = 6/2 = 3 damage to the barrier
<DM> and then if any goes through, armor reduces that
<DM> which unintentionally makes barriers an extra effective defense against half damage...
<Nimono> since it had 3 hearts, doesn't that mean nothing of the attack goes through?
<Lunaria> my barrier eats all 3 of that
<DM> oh well
<Lunaria> since my armour defends 4 and the damage is 0, do I still get bleed?
<DM> *Ache's attack breaks Lunaria's barrier, but doesn't hurt Lunaria herself. The bleeding stills her though.
<Lunaria> alright
<DM> *.... still affects
<Lunaria> I cleanse one bleed level with my cloak
<DM> nice
<DM> kay, next one

<Lunaria> wait
<Lunaria> this is a multi hit move?
<Nimono> yes
<DM> yeah, but they're calculated separately, meaning your armor factors in on each hit individually
<Lunaria> well, only the first one get through my defence
<DM> rolloff on the second one
<Flareclaw> You also have to roll for each separate attack.
<Nimono> i think you have to roll each one individually
<Lunaria> really?
<Lunaria> seems weird

<Lunaria> my shield makes me immune to that
<Acheman> 6h | +2 Armor

<DM> the shield itself is immune to afflictions

* Lunaria dumps the tempered shield and standard platemail on Tyria_Lazzen

<DM> *Now that that's cleared, the prisons around you unlock themselves, unlocking the prisoners. Like the ones from last time, these guys are all severely weakened.
* Lunaria makes sure they are alive
<DM> *They all are. One of them is conscious. It's an older but buff man wrapping his arms around a younger woman, as if protecting her.
* Flareclaw searches for Moblin prisoners.
<DM> *There are no Moblin prisoners here. Weird, where could they be?
<Lunaria> are you okay sir?
<DM> [OldMan]: You'll take us down! We'll persevere you perpetrators, we'll-!
<DM> *He finally looks up, perplexed at the question.
<DM> [OldMan]: ... you're not a bloodsucker.
<Lunaria> We are here to deal with the demon infestation!
* Lunaria smiles
<DM> *OR IS SHE?
<DM> [OldMan]: Demon infestation, those batmaggots will pay!

<Tyria_Lazzen> ... They're Aches...
* Lunaria shrugs
<DM> [OldMan]: I'll tell you what an ache is- GAH MAH BACK!
<DM> *OldMan keels over in pain.
* DM highfives Tyria_Lazzen.
<Lunaria> (better get him is coffe before he shows us how to catch bats in small balls)
<Nimono> ! Oh no! D:
<Tyria_Lazzen> ... Nevermind...
<DM> [OldMan]: Gah, I need my Iron Boots back, I can't stand up straight without 'em!
<DM> *... how does that work- nevermind.
* Lunaria shrug
<Nimono> Are you okay?! D:
<Lunaria> we should meet up with tros and kite
<DM> [OldMan]: Tros and Kite? They're still alive?!
<Nimono> yeah, they helped us get in here to help
<Tyria_Lazzen> 6h, 13m
<DM> [OldMan]: Oh thank the Goddesses, I was worried that faker that took over my position killed them off.
<Tyria_Lazzen> Do you happen to be Mayor Bo?
<DM> [OldMan]: Why yes I am!
* Flareclaw points at Nimono, then motions to Mayor Bo.
* MayorBo twirls his pointed mustache.
<Nimono> don't worry, mayor. we'll help you out of here
<Tyria_Lazzen> I knew it
<MayorBo> Thank you. Please, get my daughter and the shopkeeps to safety first!
<Nimono> Of course
* Nimono assists MayorBo's daughter out of the prison area
<DM> *You all help them out of the prison area. Somehow. I blame the ladder.
<MayorBo> Ahh, that's better, we're out of the musty ol' cavern down there! Curious this village is, never knew that was there the entire time!
<Nimono> Sounds like it might be worth exploring in the future...there's clearly some secrets to it.
<MayorBo> Perhaps.
* Flareclaw somehow exits the guardhouse, and proceeds westward... Reluctant of the plot.
* Nimono follows Flareclaw around
<DM> *Flareclaw, you proceed west. The sounds of battle have diminished, though you still hear some sword clashing sounds to the north.
* Flareclaw heads to the north.
* Lunaria follows
<Tyria_Lazzen> 6h, 13m
<Lunaria> yay, more combat
<MayorBo> I shall rest and return when I am ready to fight!
<DM> *You folks head north, where you see... Kite's group has won here, and they're now surrounding the Waterwheel.
<Nimono> Ah, Kite! I see you were victorious!
* Kite plants her sword into a nearby Acheman before it has the chance to recover.
<Kite> Hiya guys! This side's clear! You guys find Bo and the others?
<Lunaria> Well, there weren't that many there, but we found the mayor!
<Lunaria> no sign of their leader though
<Kite> Awesome! We took some injures over here, but no casualties.
<Kite> Same, didn't see Milo at all.
<Lunaria> hurm...
<Lunaria> he's got to be somewhere
<Kite> We checked inside the Waterwheel, it's runnin' still but nothing is in there. Didn't find Fado either.
<Nimono> Oh dear...
* Flareclaw enters the Waterwheel. ... however that is possible...
<Nimono> We know who their leader is: Milo
* Tyria_Lazzen is on autofollow
<Lunaria> (waterwheels are often attached to buildings, ya know, otherwise where is no point to having them.)
<Nimono> (welp. bye flareclaw, enjoy your spin...)
<DM> *You enter the Waterwheel building, Flareclaw. Inside, there's a number of running mechanisms, all being powered by the water from the nearby river.
<DM> *... or if you want, I can have you enter the Waterwheel itself.
* Lunaria studies the machine work
<Nimono> (you should totally put him in the waterwheel itself, since he only has 1h left ;D)
<Kite> You guys find the supposedly captured Moblins there by chance?
<Nimono> Sadly, no...
<Kite> Weird... we checked every building in the village, there's nothing left.
<Lunaria> Didn't the moblin boss say they weren't in the village though?
<Nimono> I don't doubt they've been captured, but... I don't think it's that likely that they're alive, though
<Nimono> no, Lunaria
<Nimono> he said he didn't think they were in the village because he looked everywhere
<Kite> Yeah, but... why would they try to take them to the forest? The forest is dangerous.
<Lunaria> hmm
<Nimono> It's entirely possible they're being held underground
<Kite> The only place that hasn't been checked it is the mountain, but there's no entrance, so why bother with that lumbering rock?
<Lunaria> Time to look for diamonds I guess!
<Nimono> After all, we found that one body underground. Clearly, he found the secret underground passages and was murdered for it
<Nimono> No entrance to the mountain, eh? What if it's underground?
<DM> *Lunaria, studying the machine work, it occurs to you that Ordon River heads into the mountain itself. LOGIC!
<Lunaria> guys
<Lunaria> uh
* Flareclaw epiphany.
<Lunaria> the river goes into the mountain
* Flareclaw begins following the river.
<Lunaria> so obviously, there is an underground river
<Nimono> Well yes.
<DM> *Suddenly, you hear a loud voice from the direction of the mountain. Standing next to the river right outside the mountain wall is Milo.
<Nimono> ! YOOUUUUUUUU
<Lunaria> I take a potshot at him with my bow
<Milo> I see you've found where the lair is.
<DM> (go for it)
<Lunaria> sec
<Lunaria> let me get the roll data
<DM> *Flareclaw, you follow the river, but you're on the other side of the river from Milo. It's pretty wide at the section near the mountain, so swimming across might not be the best idea.

<Lunaria> and one stack of armor down!
<Lunaria> :D
* Milo looks down at the arrow that made a dent in his armor.
* Milo sighs.
<Lunaria> eat dirt milo!
<Milo> 22h
* Lunaria makes a rude gesture too
<Milo> I invite you to come to my lair. Bring your Moblin friends too!
* Milo says the last part rather loud.
<DM> *You folks hear a shuffle from the forest.
<Lunaria> can I shoot again?
<Nimono> Aim for his head. I want that mouth of his to quit moving.
<DM> (you can try...)

<Flareclaw> v. Wisdom
<DM> *Lunaria, your arrow passes through that part of the wall as well, as does Flareclaw's blast, but with Milo, out of sight, you have no idea if that hit or not.
<Nimono> (D<)
<Kite> Huh... so you can pass through the wall next to the river? WHAZAAAA?
* Flareclaw attempts to pass through the wall near him.
<Nimono> I'm honestly surprised he's being so open about being a villain. Then again, we DID uncover his secrets...
<DM> *You kerplunk to the wall next to you Flareclaw. It seems to only be on the other side of the river...
<Lunaria> he obviously has a secret weapon!
<Kite> Why does he want the Moblins there?
<Nimono> so, did anyone else hear that rustling from the forest, or was it just me?
<Kite> I heard it too. It's a Moblin scout.
<Nimono> A scout? So, he's sending intel back to Grit Gos?
<DM> *Annnd with that being noticed, you feel the ground shake. In intervals every few seconds.
<DM> *More like Grit Gos is already here.
<Lunaria> oh
<Nimono> ...seems I was right
<Lunaria> actually
<Lunaria> durrr
<Lunaria> > ATTACK: Bows firing this Arrow gain +7 Attack Dice and hit the targets' Power stat.
<DM> lol
<Lunaria> I read this as +7 attack, not dice
<Lunaria> I forgot to roll though
<Nimono> (too late now!!)
<Lunaria> since I assumed it was flat damage
<Lunaria> I suppose
<DM> yeah, we... didn't fix that wording on the bows/arrows, still need to
<Lunaria> but he might not recover untill our encounter
<Lunaria> should I roll or just forget about it?
<DM> too late at this point
<Lunaria> aight
<Nimono> guarantee he'll have healed by the time he returns
<Kite> Kyaaaahhh it's the big boss of the Moblins!
<Lunaria> Yo, Gritgos, my homeboy, GIVE ME FIVE!
* GritGos marches straight into the village with his Moblins following.
* Lunaria holds up hand
* GritGos looks down at Lunaria.
<Nimono> ....what.
<Lunaria> :D
<GritGos> WOT HIGH FIVE?
<Lunaria> D:
<DM> (uhh, you sure you wanna try that?)
<Lunaria> never mind
* Lunaria lowers hand
<Lunaria> we didn't find your missing moblins yet
<Nimono> They might be in Milo's base within the mountain
* GritGos puts 2 and 2 together.
<GritGos> MOUNT WILL DIE!
<Lunaria> (poor horses)
<Kite> .. you know, this is the first time I've ever heard a Moblin speak.
* Flareclaw backs away from the mountain...
* Nimono hides behind Flareclaw
<GritGos> WHERE ENTER?
* GritGos looks around and around for an entrance, but sees none.
* Lunaria goes up and pokes the mountain where milo dissapaired
<Nimono> False wall on other side of water
<Lunaria> (pfsdkfsdf=
* Flareclaw crosses the bridge, then approaches the mountain again from the -other side-, ... and goes to lean up against the mountain.
<DM> *You poke..... a lack of wall.
<Nimono> (btw, you said Grit Gos can only speak in one-syllable words... "enter" is two syllables)
<DM> *Flareclaw, you lean up against a lack of wall.
* Flareclaw phases through a mountain wall and stumbles inside..
<Nimono> (clearly, he learned two-syllable words!)
* GritGos is stunned momentarily at Nimono's realization.
* Nimono swims across the river to the other side
<GritGos> GRIT GOS SMART. SMART THINGS HOUSE SHEEP. SHEEP ARE ANTS.
* GritGos is... not smarter.
<Tyria_Lazzen> 6h, 13m
<DM> *Flareclaw, you stumble inside to find yourself in a long, winding cave. At the very far side, you can see the figure of Milo.
* Nimono walks into the false wall as well
<DM> *Nimono, you waltz in to see the same thing.
* Tyria_Lazzen is now out of autofollow mode
<Nimono> YOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU\
* GritGos wanders in to the wall.
* Nimono attacks Milo with his Siphoning Wand!
<Lunaria> Wait
* GritGos sees the figure of MIlo on the other side.
<Lunaria> we should get some torches
<Nimono> (roll wisdom)
<DM> *The winding cave is already lit with torches.
<Nimono> $33d10
<Navi> Nimono: You rolled 33 Dice with 10 Sides. Result: 8, 2, 9, 1, 6, 4, 5, 7, 5, 6, 5, 5, 8, 6, 5, 6, 9, 10, 4, 9, 6, 4, 3, 10, 7, 5, 1, 5, 10, 4, 4, 6 and 1. Total: 186. Successes: 26.
<DM> *Nimono, your blast pulverizes the figure, turning it to..... wooden dust.
<Nimono> D:<
<GritGos> GRAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHH!
* Lunaria grabs a wall torch, puts it out, and stuffs in her inventory
* GritGos charges in headfirst towards the other side.
* Flareclaw attempts to collect a torch off the wall.
<Nimono> He's taunting us, I swear.
<Lunaria> (I can do that, right?)
* Nimono also collects a torch
<DM> (yeah, though I don't think I have that written as an item)
* Tyria_Lazzen pickpockets a torch
<DM> (nutshell, it just lights the area)
* Flareclaw follows after GritGos
<DM> (ooooooh, that's why I never wrote it as an item, cause the Magic Candle exists. Derp.)
<Nimono> with these torches, we'll drive milo and his achemen insane! ahahaha~
<DM> *Flareclaw, you follow after GritGos. GritGos gets to the end of the tunnel and disappears past the turn.
<DM> *A moment later, and GritGos comes flying back, slamming into the wall right in front of you.
<GritGos> GRAAAAARGH!
<Nimono> WHAT THE
<GritGos> WOT GOT DAT STRONG THING?
<Lunaria> (DM: added to my inventory)
<DM> (kay)
* Flareclaw ducks as a giant moblin flies overhead.
* GritGos tries to get back up, but yet again, he's slammed by something, this time knocking GritGos to the ground.
<DM> *You hear Milo's maniacal laughter from ahead.
<Milo> MWAHAHAHAHAAHAAA! NOT EVEN THE GREAT GRIT GOS CAN GET THROUGH MY DEFENSE! FINALLY, I'VE TAKEN THE BIG ONE DOWN!
* Lunaria covers GritGos
* Flareclaw looks for an alternate route.
<Nimono> (Flareclaw, you're still at 1h, right?)
<DM> *Lunaria, you cover GritGos, and now that you have, you've got full view of the massive cavern ahead.
<DM> *You see Milo standing in front of a bunch of tied of Moblins... alone...... wait.
<Flareclaw> 5h, 8m. (Restoration Heart from earlier)
<Lunaria> (tied moblins, as in tied up in rope?)
<DM> (yeah)
<Tyria_Lazzen> 6h, 13m
<DM> *Flareclaw, there's a thin passage to the side, but only one of you can possibly fit through there.
<Lunaria> (you got two "of" in there. :P)
<DM> (derp)
<DM> *in front of a bunch of tied up Moblins
<Nimono> i could fit through there easily, Flareclaw. Want me to go in?
* Flareclaw nods.
<DM> *There's the sound of the flapping of wings. Then more flapping. You guys trying to speak is drowned out by the sounds of flapping.
<Lunaria> tch, hostages, I suppose I should not have been surprised demon
* Nimono takes the thin side passage, cramped as it is
<DM> *Looking up, where the ceiling should be, there's just an endless swarm of Aches, with their red eyes all opening and staring at you, Lunaria.
<Lunaria> (ohohoho)
<Milo> Thank you for the blood, Ordon Village. You've fed and grown a new army for me. And now, my army will overrun you all!
<Lunaria> (just as planned)
<DM> -=QUEST PAUSE=-
<Nimono> (FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF)
<DM> DUN DUN DUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNN
