  1. [7:32 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You were last seen defeating an earth elemental, corrupted by the power of Orcus into an necromental. In fact, Lexon did so with his bare fists. With the elemental undead turned into dust and scattered into the wind, you are able to open the giant gate that leads into the castle proper.
  2.  
  3. Of note, is a small stable outside, that's derelict and without any signs of life and unlife.
  4.  
  5. The courtyard's getting really cold, what with the snow and all.
  6.  
  7. So, before you freeze, adventurers... What will you do?
  8. [7:36 PM] Faerie: (Alright, sheet in hand and stuff)
  9. [7:37 PM] Faerie: From the looks of it, the gate seems like the only entrance?
  10. [7:37 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: There's a distinct lack of other gates at the first floor
  11. [7:38 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: If there are any windows, you do not spot any immediately
  12. [7:38 PM] Runic: With the lack of choices and the desire to not freeze to death! Lexon proposes to enter the castle!
  13. [7:39 PM] Runic: "Alright well that's done," Lexon says jumping off the corpse of the now defeated golem, "let's head inside before we freeze to death."
  14. [7:40 PM] Bot Fodder: "Man, at times like this, I wish I could go home and have a nice hot cup of cocoa," John remarks startlingly. How long has he been standing there?(edited)
  15. [7:40 PM] Faerie: ''It wouldn't do us any good to stay in the stable'', Razmik muses ''since we already prepared, and such. We should get in, yes. Uh, we really need to check the gates beforehand, though!''
  16. [7:40 PM] Faerie: In turn, Razmik suggests everyone check around for traps.
  17.  
  18. [7:41 PM] Mizuki: "Lets do it fast" - Said Alicia approaching the main gate and looking around for traps - "I'm freezing"(edited)
  19. [7:42 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Azura merely tilts her head, bundling somewhat closer to Alicia on her shoulder due to the cold.
  20. [7:42 PM] Mizuki: (investigation)
  21. [7:42 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: go for it...
  22. [7:42 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d20
  23. [7:42 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20]: 12, Result: 12
  24. [7:42 PM] Faerie: After a beat, he stops to notice John, and waves. To the casual observer, people disappearing and appearing out of sight like that would seem like a common occurence! Which it is, but that doesn't make it any less awkward.
  25. [7:42 PM] Mizuki: roll 1d20+6
  26. [7:42 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+6]: 3, Result: 9
  27. [7:42 PM] Runic: "Well alright, no real harm in checking for traps first..."
  28. [7:42 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You don't find anything suspcious
  29. [7:42 PM] Runic: roll 1d20+6
  30. [7:42 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+6]: 1, Result: 7
  31. [7:43 PM] Faerie: Razmik keeps his eyes peeled, too. Since it was his suggestion :sadpopo:
  32. [7:43 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: There's really not much of anything to find, it seems?
  33. [7:43 PM] Faerie: roll 1d20-1
  34. [7:43 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20-1]: 11, Result: 10
  35. [7:43 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The gate is of a strong wood, oak reinforced with band of steel.
  36. [7:43 PM] Faerie: (Fug, I almost rolled that as :roll1d20-1:)
  37. [7:43 PM] Bot Fodder: (Uh, what was beyond this, again?)
  38. [7:44 PM] Bot Fodder: (Which is to say, where are we?)
  39. [7:44 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It has seen better days, and is seemingly assaulted somewhat recently? There are battering and clawing marks. For one reason or another, the gate stands strong.
  40. [7:44 PM] Mizuki: (this is the keep that houses the city defense mechanism)
  41. [7:44 PM] Faerie: (The keep! Shadow the Jager and Recelle headed for the third tower, while we secure the keep. There was a necromental earth golem guarding (more or less) the entrance)
  42. [7:45 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Of note, Tot's with you.
  43. [7:45 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... Right?
  44. [7:45 PM] Mizuki: (I'll give you a summary, Kap)
  45. [7:45 PM] Mizuki: (and yeah, Koga)
  46.  
  47. [7:45 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: So... No traps. More or less.
  48. [7:47 PM] Mizuki: (the sentient good-guys ghouls that we met before are dealing with the lich with the help of a vampire hunter, while Recelle, shadow and a group of Paladins secure the last tower. We're securing the keep with the defense mechanism which can be activated after the last tower gets activated)
  49. [7:47 PM] Faerie: ''Well', Razmik asks pushing on the door, just in case that works. ''How do we get in?''
  50. [7:47 PM] Faerie: (Plot Tweest: The vampire hunter is totally Shadow's mom)
  51. [7:48 PM] Mizuki: (we had to send recelle and shadow to the tower because it was too risky to activate the last mechanism while the keep is controlled by undead)
  52. [7:48 PM] Faerie: (Tot is with us for, uh, tacticool mail delivery)
  53. [7:48 PM] Mizuki: (an inteligent undead could turn on the defenses and banish all the living from the city)
  54. [7:48 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The light spills in from the courtyard, dim as it is. You can't see much, beyond 3 lanterns hanging on the wall, glowing dimly with a flickering, wheezing flame. The outline of some object just beyond the light of your sight can be spotted... But, that does not help. There's at least a few doors here, notably one near the upper-right lantern - it seems to be another large gate, just slightly smaller than the entryway.
  55. [7:49 PM] Bot Fodder: John goes in first, keeping his wits about him.
  56. [7:49 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d20
  57. [7:49 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20]: 10, Result: 10
  58. [7:49 PM] Bot Fodder: (Passive perception, etc.)
  59. [7:49 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d20
  60. [7:49 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20]: 10, Result: 10
  61. [7:50 PM] Mizuki: Alicia sees through Azura's eyes, trying to understand what that object was.
  62. [7:50 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Seems good. Well...
  63. [7:50 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Darkvision, anyone?
  64. [7:50 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (The joke is that all 4 of you are Human.)
  65. [7:50 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Azura's iris narrows...
  66. [7:50 PM] Faerie: ''Do we still have the Orb around and handy?'', the party is reminded.
  67. [7:51 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... cats, for one reason or another, merely have keen smell sense and not darkvision, directly.(edited)
  68. [7:51 PM] Mizuki: (:firepopo:)
  69. [7:52 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Azura vision:
  70.  
  71. [7:52 PM] Mizuki: "Azura, tell me if you see or smell anything unusual" - Said Alicia telepathically
  72. [7:52 PM] Faerie: (I'm pretty sure Lexon has the orb, anywho))
  73. [7:53 PM] Mizuki: (also, I have Light)
  74. [7:53 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Seems like broken woods and carts formed into a barricade, Master." Azura meows softly.
  75. [7:53 PM] Mizuki: (it was an Optimization^tm)
  76. [7:53 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The grey rubbles to the lower-left would be, well, rubbles.
  77. [7:53 PM] Mizuki: (but I need some components to cast light, right?)
  78. [7:53 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Curious, as the ceiling is intact.
  79. [7:54 PM] Faerie: Razmik has a few ways of shedding light into this matter (like, literally), but they're not particularly efficient. He'll abstain for now.
  80. [7:54 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (You are assumed to have non-costly component, though I'd prefer if you eventually get component pouch)
  81. [7:54 PM] Mizuki: (non costly component?)
  82.  
  83. [7:55 PM] Faerie: (Arcane focus works for that, right?)
  84. [7:55 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Some spell components cost money.)
  85. [7:55 PM] Mizuki: (I'm aware, I can't cast light then, right?)
  86. [7:56 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (As long as you have a spellcasting focus you can ignore non-costly component)
  87. [7:56 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (But you still can't do costly spell component, and well... where are you putting your miniature platnium swords and tiny boxes of dusts otherwise? :smugpopo: )
  88. [7:56 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (You can cast light, yes)
  89.  
  90. [7:57 PM] Mizuki: (the arcane focus is an object I have right? That I use to channel my magic)
  91. [7:57 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Yes.)
  92. [7:57 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (>level 5 spellcaster)
  93. [7:57 PM] Faerie: ''Well, the early bird gets the worm. Which is to say, the sooner we can get out of here, the better!''. Eager to move to a less dark area, Razmik slowly goes along the wall, to the right, looking for anything noteworthy
  94. [7:57 PM] Mizuki: (it's an amethyst amulet then :sadpopo:)
  95. [7:57 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: John, what about you?
  96. [7:58 PM] Faerie: (Arcane foci are usually specific to the caster, like a wand or- oh, there we go)
  97. [7:58 PM] Faerie: (P ur p l e a u t i s m)
  98. [7:58 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Razmik seems to be taking his own initiative.
  99. [7:58 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You muck around the darkness for a bit, Razmik.
  100. [7:58 PM] Faerie: Not too far, though! The dark was honestly kind of scary, since he's not in such a good state. :sadpopo:
  101. [7:59 PM] Mizuki: Alicia touches her amulet and casts a bright light, illuminating the surrounding area - "This should do the trick..."
  102. [7:59 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: >20ft radius
  103. [7:59 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Each square you see on the map is 5ft.
  104. [7:59 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You have a torch-like light centered around you, Alicia.
  105. [7:59 PM] Faerie: (Pffft, fugg)
  106. [7:59 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It goes for 20ft, and radiates a dim shadowy cast for another 20.
  107. [7:59 PM] Mizuki: (i-it's something)
  108. [7:59 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Roughly as much as you'll see with the light from the courtyard, but it helps.
  109. [8:00 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: As you advance, Fae, give me ... A Charisma check. Not save, just check.
  110. [8:01 PM] Faerie: Razmik takes a few seconds to get accustomed to the sudden light. ''Oh, alright. That works'', he chides, toying around with the Wand of Cure Wounds, shield still strapped.
  111. [8:01 PM] Faerie: roll 1d20+3
  112. [8:01 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+3]: 18, Result: 21
  113.  
  114.  
  115. [8:01 PM] Faerie: ...Just a check? Like that?
  116. [8:01 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: As you advance, the light closest you seems to be startled...
  117. [8:01 PM] Bot Fodder: (sorry, had to run out for a sec.)
  118. [8:02 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It flickers, and burst into a bright light, as bright as torch, and whirls loudly, angrily... Like a wasp, or an angry lizard.
  119. [8:02 PM] Mizuki: (also, Koga, let me ask a really dumb question)
  120. [8:02 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The other two, however, winks out from sight.
  121. [8:02 PM] Mizuki: (when I cast normal spells, such as magic missile and stuff)
  122. [8:02 PM] Mizuki: (am I also using the arcane focus?)
  123. [8:03 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (You need your arcane focus, yes)(edited)
  124.  
  125. [8:03 PM] Mizuki: (cool, more chuuni options :smugpopo:)
  126. [8:04 PM] Faerie: ''Who goes?''
  127. At this, Razmik looks around, slightly less alert than what he should be.
  128. [8:04 PM] Mizuki: "What was that?" - Asked Alicia
  129. [8:04 PM] Faerie: Was the noise constant, or did it last enough for the light to get brighter?
  130. [8:04 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: At the moment of brief hesitation, the lantern light suddenly flies out from the lantern, and strikes you with surprise!
  131. [8:05 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d20+4
  132. [8:05 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+4]: 16, Result: 20
  133. [8:05 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 2d8
  134. [8:05 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [2d8]: 4,5, Result: 9
  135. [8:05 PM] Faerie: ((>surprise!))
  136. [8:05 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: A lightning shocks through your body, and you hear a voice from the ball of light. "Tressspasssers!"
  137. [8:05 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Initiative... Though, it's a relatively minor encounter.
  138. [8:06 PM] Runic: roll 1d20+3
  139. [8:06 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+3]: 14, Result: 17
  140. [8:06 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d20+9
  141. [8:06 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+9]: 17, Result: 26
  142. [8:06 PM] Faerie: roll 1d20+0
  143. [8:06 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+0]: 12, Result: 12
  144. [8:06 PM] Mizuki: roll 1d20+3
  145. [8:06 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+3]: 10, Result: 13
  146. [8:06 PM] Faerie: Razmik tries to keep his footing, despite being effectively...
  147. [8:06 PM] Bot Fodder: roll 1d20+0
  148. [8:06 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+0]: 14, Result: 14
  149. [8:06 PM] Faerie: Shocked at the sudden elemental strike.
  150. [8:06 PM] Bot Fodder: (oh, wait, +1.)
  151. [8:07 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The ball of light changes color, to a grim viridian.
  152. [8:07 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: And charges at you again, Razmik, howling, "Life....!"
  153. [8:07 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d20+4
  154. [8:07 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+4]: 2, Result: 6
  155. [8:07 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It, however, floats past you effortlessly so.
  156. [8:07 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Lexon.
  157.  
  158. [8:08 PM] Runic: Lexon takes a quick look to identify what the heck are they even fighting
  159. [8:09 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Hm
  160. [8:09 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d20
  161. [8:09 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20]: 19, Result: 19
  162. [8:09 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Aha. Lexon, you identify it distinctively as NOT a Lantern Archon.
  163. [8:09 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It is a popular bed-side story, one of dead travellers luring others to a similar fate, a Will o' Wisp.
  164. [8:10 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It is able to discharge eldritch lightning, and absorb it much in the same manner (Immune). As a spiritual undead, it is also immune to poison.
  165. [8:10 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Beware, as those who have fallen in battle can have their souls consumed by said being.
  166. [8:11 PM] Mizuki: (what about fire?)
  167.  
  168. [8:11 PM] Runic: "Seems that the enemy is an undead from stories I've heard of everyone!"
  169. [8:12 PM] Faerie: Razmik questions the ball of light, registering interest in its ability to identify living creatures. ''Who put you to guard this place?''
  170. Worth an attempt, at least?
  171. [8:12 PM] Mizuki: (also, Koga, another question :sadpopo:)
  172. [8:12 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It is resistent to a slew of other things, but Lexon isn't well-versed enough in the matter to tell anyone what they are.
  173. [8:12 PM] Mizuki: (fire bolt deals 2d10 of damage starting at level 5)
  174. [8:12 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It hisses at you angrily, Razmik.
  175. [8:12 PM] Mizuki: (is that the wizard level or total level?)
  176. [8:13 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Total I guess)
  177. [8:13 PM] Mizuki: (noice)
  178.  
  179. [8:13 PM] Runic: "Though I'm not sure if punching these things is the best idea, no idea if I can even tackle this thing either,"
  180. [8:13 PM] Faerie: (I thought that'd be caster level, but the spell textblock doesn't specify. :sadpopo:)
  181. [8:13 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (There's no "caster level" in 5e, of course, so... Hey.)
  182. [8:13 PM] Runic: "But whatever I guess" Lexon takes out his dagger and throws it at the wisp
  183.  
  184. [8:14 PM] Runic: roll 1d20+6 rolling for hit
  185. [8:14 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+6]: 2, Result: 8
  186. [8:14 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The dagger phases past the ball of hatred and anger!
  187. [8:14 PM] Mizuki: Will-o-wisp. Alicia heard of them before, she tries to recall any weakness it could have.
  188. [8:14 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Religion, Alicia.
  189.  
  190. [8:14 PM] Mizuki: roll 1d20+3
  191. [8:14 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+3]: 12, Result: 15
  192. [8:14 PM] Runic: "Okay throwing knives at the thing doesn't work either" Lexon says nervously
  193. [8:14 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It has no notable weaknesses.
  194. [8:14 PM] Runic: Lexon attempts to go to hiding
  195. NEW MESSAGES
  196. [8:15 PM] Runic: roll 1d20+9
  197. [8:15 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+9]: 8, Result: 17
  198.  
  199. [8:15 PM] Faerie: Religion? Can I roll that, too?
  200. [8:15 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You fade into shadow, of which there are aplenty, Lexon!
  201. [8:15 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: John, your turn.
  202. [8:15 PM] Mizuki: "Guess you can't immobilize this one" - Said Alicia smiling
  203. [8:15 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: I suppose, Razmik.
  204. [8:15 PM] Faerie: roll 1d20+2
  205. [8:15 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+2]: 8, Result: 10
  206.  
  207. [8:16 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It is very much a will o' wisp, yes - fits the stories.
  208. [8:16 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: SeemsGood
  209.  
  210. [8:16 PM] Faerie: (Also, >those who have fallen in battle can have their slous consumed by said being
  211. I don't wanna set up any alarms, but I'm at 8 HP)
  212. [8:16 PM] Bot Fodder: (Uh, wait, should I have gone already? I rolled a 15 init.)
  213. [8:17 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (I... said it's your turn :sadpopo: )
  214. [8:17 PM] Bot Fodder: (Oh. Fug. Missed that.)
  215.  
  216. [8:17 PM] Bot Fodder: "Magical, floating lights...? Y-you need a permit for those!" John blurts, taking a precise stab at the relatively small target.
  217. [8:17 PM] Faerie: ''Angry ball of fire'', Razmik thought. If only they had water at hand! Hm. Maybe if they lured it outside?
  218. [8:17 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It lets out a small "whoops", as if surprised by your notice.
  219. [8:18 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Roll for to hit, John.
  220.  
  221. [8:18 PM] Bot Fodder: roll 1d20+8
  222. [8:18 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+8]: 14, Result: 22
  223. [8:18 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Eesh
  224. [8:18 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Yeah, that's a hit.
  225. [8:19 PM] Bot Fodder: roll 1d10+5
  226. [8:19 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d10+5]: 9, Result: 14
  227. [8:19 PM] Bot Fodder: (wow)
  228. [8:19 PM] Mizuki: (nice)
  229. [8:19 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It ... burst into a shower of dust.
  230. [8:19 PM] Faerie: (:100:)
  231. [8:19 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Combat's, uh.
  232. [8:19 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Yeah, it wasn't a real threat, was it?
  233. [8:19 PM] Faerie: ''That's it?''
  234.  
  235. [8:20 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: An eerie silence befalls the keep that you are in.
  236. [8:20 PM] Runic: "I guess so" Lexon responds phasing out of the darkness
  237. [8:20 PM] Mizuki: "Well, that was fast..." - She commented
  238. [8:20 PM] Runic: Lexon quickly runs into the darkness straight ahead of him to go pick up his thrown dagger
  239. [8:20 PM] Runic: whistles
  240. [8:21 PM] Bot Fodder: John frowns. "That was... probably a sentry meant to alert its friends. We should be careful from here on."
  241. [8:21 PM] Faerie: Razmik sighs. Had the dancing light been able to take it like it was able to dish it out, he would not have seen the end of it!
  242. [8:21 PM] Mizuki: "Raz, are you alright?" - Asked Alicia worried - "That thing got you good at the start of the battle."
  243. [8:21 PM] Faerie: ''Speaking of careful... Anyone else injured?''
  244. [8:21 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You are able to explore the room, in relative safety,
  245.  
  246. [8:22 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: And of course, perhaps take a short break to realign yourself and your health toward betterment.
  247. [8:22 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It is a wide, wide "room", with a few muddy tracks of old suggesting that wagons and carts would roll directly inside here.
  248. [8:22 PM] Faerie: He nods to Alicia, in acknowledgement. It was mostly the necromental that had pulled a good one on him, but still...
  249. [8:23 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: it's roughly 60ft or so in width and depth, given a quick guesstimate?
  250. [8:23 PM] Faerie: Razmik's still considering to zap himself with the wand, again, just to get a bit closer to comfort.
  251. [8:23 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The rubble blocks what seems like a door, mirrored on the other side, while a blockage of old wood and broken carts lie in a small bundle to the upper-left. There's also a set of 2 doors hidden barely by the shadow of the art. :sadpopo:
  252. [8:24 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: so, 4 doors are available to you!

  254. [8:24 PM] Mizuki: "We should rest fot a while" - Said Alicia.- "We're already tired from the necromental fight, "(edited)
  255. [8:24 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: A rush of cold air fills the room.... The snowstorm outside has developed into a blizzard.
  256. [8:25 PM] Faerie: ''Do you think this place's safe? John mentioned sentries'', the battered Paladin points out.
  257. [8:25 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: What appears to be solid sheets of snow fills the world outside, blocking view beyond 5ft out.
  258. [8:25 PM] Mizuki: "And since Recelle, Shadow and the paladins are taking care of the tower, we don't have to hurry too much."
  259. [8:25 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Tot takes a look outside. "Nope." It simply states.
  260. [8:25 PM] Faerie: ''Oh, sweet mercy. What we needed!''
  261. [8:25 PM] Runic: Lexon after recovering his dagger, goes ahead and closes the entrance door to reduce to cold air from the blizzard directly entering the place
  262. [8:26 PM] Faerie: Razmik, too, attempts to close the gate.
  263. [8:26 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It closes with a creak and some efforts. You notice that the door used to be barred, Lexon, but the bar is missing.
  264. [8:26 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Usually, it would be near the door...
  265. [8:26 PM] Faerie: Unbecoming of him, but the lack of light was prefered to the insufferable snowstorm outside.
  266. [8:26 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Someone must've taken it?
  267. [8:27 PM] Runic: "Hmmm"
  268.  
  269. [8:27 PM] Bot Fodder: "This place is probably the opposite of safe," John suggests helpfully. He goes to take a look at the nearest door, lighting a torch.
  270.  
  271. [8:27 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: That would be the one to the southeast. It's... not locked or anything.
  272. [8:27 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It opens easily, actually,
  273. [8:27 PM] Runic: Lexon decides to go to the area of abandoned, overturned carts, trying to find anything that seems worth looting, aswell anything useful to barring the door itself
  274. [8:27 PM] Faerie: Main gate. Does it hold out to the blizzard?
  275. [8:27 PM] Bot Fodder: (Also, yes, torches. Torches are important.)
  276. [8:28 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Yes, easily - the gate would've been strong enough to stop a small army.
  277. [8:28 PM] Faerie: If not, Razmik accompanies Lexon to try and find something to use to bar the door.
  278. [8:28 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: erm
  279. [8:29 PM] KogasaGaSagasa:
  280.  
  281. [8:29 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It's a small room, with a wooden... pot of dirt, containing dead plants, at the end, and two flights of stair leading upward.
  282. [8:29 PM] Faerie: Lucky, then. In the worst of cases, that means they should be able to exit the building without a lot of trouble. Besides whatever scary things were lurking within, waiting for them, that is.
  283. [8:29 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Most of you should have torches from your explorer's pack, or you can have a cantrip or something of light. Or something.)
  284. [8:29 PM] Bot Fodder: (Did any of us have an old map of the place?)
  285.  
  286. [8:30 PM] Mizuki: (no)
  287. [8:30 PM] Faerie: (Not that I remember)
  288. [8:30 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (None of you were Shadowrunners, so none of you thought to prep that far ahead as to research into building blueprints.)
  289.  
  290. [8:31 PM] Faerie: (Why would a wizard map their tower? They're already paranoid enough without having to deal with possibly misplaced or stolen blueprints :sadpopo:)
  291. [8:31 PM] Mizuki: (Koga, since I have the arcane focus, is casting light completely free?)
  292. [8:31 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Takes an action, but otherwise, yes)
  293. [8:31 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (But remember, you can have 1 light up at a time.)
  294. [8:31 PM] Faerie: (Yeah. Even without the focus, Light doesn't consume the component)
  295. [8:31 PM] Mizuki: (cool)
  296. [8:32 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You also found a metal bar, awkwardly like that of the gate's, in the rubble of barricade.
  297. [8:32 PM] Bot Fodder: John stares at the pot for a moment, overcome with nostalgia. He once had something like that in the room beside his own gate, back home. Until one day an adventurer came by, and...
  298. [8:32 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... seems like whoever built it... Took it for their own purpose?
  299. [8:32 PM] Bot Fodder: John makes a truly unpleasant face. Damn vandals.
  300.  
  301. [8:32 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (They were able to obtain 3 rupees from it, at least...)
  302. [8:32 PM] Faerie: (Oh, come on. :firepopo:)
  303.  
  304. [8:33 PM] Faerie: (So I take it he isn't particularly fond of half elves)
  305. [8:34 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The dead plants, at least, does not seem to be animated via necromancy. Something of a blessing in the otherwise dark time.
  306. [8:34 PM] Mizuki: Alicia picks up a piece of rubble from the barricade and approaches one of the doors in the room. Is it open?
  307. [8:34 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: None of the door, beyond the one John opened, are open.
  308.  
  309. [8:35 PM] Runic: Taking the metal bar, wanders through the very unlit room back towards the front door and uses it to bar the door
  310. [8:35 PM] Faerie: Razmik tags along to check. Barred from the other side? Locked? Illusionary doors?
  311. [8:35 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Now nobody can escape the cold, Lexon.
  312. [8:35 PM] Mizuki: "Well, never mind then." - Thought Alicia dropping the piece of rubble
  313. [8:35 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Nobody.
  314. [8:35 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Hm. The other doors are all normal wooden doors...
  315. [8:36 PM] Faerie: That's fine. Now nobody can escape the darkess, either!
  316. [8:36 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The one to the upperright is of a larger build, with a few tracks suggesting that wagons and carts once driven past that point.
  317. [8:36 PM] Mizuki: "So, what's the plan now?" - Asked Alicia - Are we going to rest for a while or press on? How are you doing, Raz?"
  318. [8:37 PM] Faerie: ''Depends on how everyone else's holding up: I can't be slowing us down'', he laments.
  319. [8:38 PM] Faerie: If anything, Razmik lets Alicia know he's got a bit more juice left in him.
  320.  
  321. [8:40 PM] Mizuki: "I see... I'm not so bad, feeling a bit tired but that's all" - She said - "We could continue, if you're okay with that."
  322. [8:40 PM] Mizuki: "Careful not to overdo it..."
  323. [8:40 PM] Faerie: (What's Alicia's HP at, accounting for Aid?)
  324. [8:41 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Time is of the essence, of course; The tower that Shadow and Recelle is working on is estimate to fall within 3 or 4 hours (Closer to 3 or even 2 now?). While the paladins and such can hold the tower, taking too long might have... Complications.
  325. [8:41 PM] Mizuki: (27)
  326. [8:41 PM] Faerie: (Alright, you frontline now!)
  327.  
  328. [8:42 PM] Bot Fodder: John lingers in the background as usual, looking strangely despondent and mumbling to himself.
  329. [8:42 PM] Mizuki: ([panics])
  330. [8:42 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: An hour of break, however, might do you some good, should you require of it. Or maybe two. Or maybe eight?
  331. [8:42 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: :smugpopo:
  332. [8:42 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Why not just take a break, and sleep within the nightmare? Surely, it cannot go badly.
  333. [8:42 PM] Faerie: Time constrains aside, this didn't see like the safest of places for that...
  334.  
  335. [8:43 PM] Mizuki: "Well, lets keep going for now." - She said - "John and I can take the lead."
  336. [8:44 PM] Faerie: ''You can't just translocate us somewhere safe so we can rest, right?'', Razmik asks Alicia. His tone shows that he's dead serious :sadpopo:
  337. [8:44 PM] Faerie: Anyways, here we go

  349. [8:45 PM] Faerie: (What does Ru give me in exchange for Sacrifice Luck?)
  350.  
  351. [8:46 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ...
  352. [8:46 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: There's some awkward silence, as the healing magic fades after the wand's activation.
  353. [8:46 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It didn't seem to do much.
  354. [8:46 PM] Faerie: Razmik wishes Alicia weren't staring at him right now.
  355. [8:46 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: What will you do, now?
  356.  
  357. [8:47 PM] Faerie: ...ashamed, he goes through some breathing exercises quickly, attempting to channel the far more reliable morningtouch into his own being.
  358. [8:47 PM] Faerie: Heal for 10. :sadpopo:
  359. [8:47 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Azura hops off Alicia, staying more alert now they aren't at a below 0 degree situation.
  360. [8:47 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: She shakes a bit, as if shaking off tiny droplets of snow from herself.
  361. [8:48 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Tot... Does the same, like an infectious yawn has taken over.(edited)
  362. NEW MESSAGES
  363. [8:48 PM] Mizuki: "..." - Alicia doesn't say anything while she watches the healing magic take it's effect. Apparently the curse on Razmik's sword is spreading to the wand as well.
  364.  
  365. [8:49 PM] Mizuki: "Well... Should we proceed?" - She asked.
  366. [8:49 PM] Faerie: ''Anyways. What do we say? Upstairs into the unknown, or would you like to check if we can do something about the rubble?''
  367. [8:50 PM] Faerie: While they decide, Razmik prepares by stretching his beaten arms, trying to loosen himself.
  368. [8:50 PM] Faerie: C-curse?
  369. [8:50 PM] Mizuki: "There are a bunch of closed doors as well. We could check them before going up."
  370. [8:50 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "At this rate I am going to form a party with Azura here and go on catventures, fam." Tot complains.
  371. [8:50 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Azura merely stares at Tot.
  372. [8:50 PM] Faerie: ''Catsolutely not.''
  373. [8:50 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... Tot silently curls up.
  374. [8:50 PM] Bot Fodder: (SAVAGE)
  375.  
  376. [8:51 PM] Bot Fodder: (The timing of that line was so great.)
  377. [8:51 PM] Mizuki: Alicia pets Azura and approaches one of the closed doors. She tries forcing it a little to see if its locked.
  378. [8:51 PM] Runic: "Wellll, in most stories the objective is always at the top of the building!" Lexon rambles
  379. [8:52 PM] Faerie: Razmik looks at Tot, not actually trying to nag. He fully expected Tot to keep going at it with the cat-puns.
  380. [8:52 PM] Bot Fodder: "I found stairs over here," John says from the doorway. The announcement is slightly delayed, but nonetheless!
  381. [8:53 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It's not locked or anything, Alicia.
  382. [8:53 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: None of them are, anyway - those doors seem to been used often, and are even a bit loose on the hinges.
  383. [8:53 PM] Runic: "I guess Alicia wants to check the rooms first" Lexon mutters "Well whatever we should have time for it"
  384. [8:54 PM] Faerie: (Also, is John wearing the draygonborn full plate?)
  385. [8:54 PM] Mizuki: "We should secure the entire building, instead of rushing towards our objectve" - Said Alicia - "It will take a while until Recelle and the others take the last tower."
  386. [8:54 PM] Bot Fodder: (Um... I thought the new Cleric took that?)
  387.  
  388. [8:55 PM] Bot Fodder: (Also, for the sake of time: can we roll for mass looting and stuff?)
  389. [8:55 PM] Bot Fodder: (Dungeon S.O.P.)
  390. [8:55 PM] Faerie: (Not that I remember, man. Light Domain does get heavy armor prof, however)
  391. [8:55 PM] Mizuki: "It would be troublesome if we were activating the abjuration spell and then suddenly a group of undead that was hiding within the keep rushes us."
  392. [8:56 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Roll for mass looting?)
  393. [8:56 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Don't press the skip button! D: )
  394.  
  395.  
  396. [8:56 PM] Faerie: (Mass looting? Like... autopiloting?)
  397. [8:56 PM] Bot Fodder: (Or at least a "Is anything apparently worth investigating further"?)
  398. [8:57 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Ah. I'll do checks against perception wherever you go, no worries.)
  399. [8:57 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Even when there's nothing to find.)
  400. [8:57 PM] Bot Fodder: (I've had to RP searching every room of an empty castle before. I wouldn't recommend it.)
  401. [8:57 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (It would help if people DOES act, of course.)
  402. [8:58 PM] Runic: Lexon decides on speeding up the process of securing the place and decides to check the other door on his own
  403.  
  404. [8:58 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... It swings open effortlessly.
  405. [8:58 PM] Faerie: ''Maybe Alicia speaks the truth. If we'll be here for the next few hours, we should start with what's closest to our starting point.''
  406. [8:58 PM] KogasaGaSagasa:
  407.  
  408. [8:58 PM] Faerie: ...That's how you map dungeons, right?
  409. [8:58 PM] Mizuki: Alicia opens the door she's touching as well
  410. [8:59 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: A set of beds, and chests. Nothing noteworthy, beyond the door deep within the barrack...
  411. [8:59 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... The two doors that you open, they lead into the same barrack room :sadpopo:
  412.  
  413. [8:59 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d20
  414. [8:59 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20]: 3, Result: 3
  415. [8:59 PM] Faerie: ''Careful'', Razmik tells Alicia, ''we wouldn't want to be too spread out if something goes wrong.''
  416. [8:59 PM] Bot Fodder: "Well, I guess we'll deal with it when we see it?" John says as he goes to look sweep with the others.
  417. [8:59 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Given the situation, you don't have time to do a careful search; but the door at the end IS locked.
  418. [8:59 PM] Faerie: ...
  419. ''Oh, hi, Lexon.''
  420. [8:59 PM] Faerie: :sadpopo:
  421.  
  422. [9:00 PM] Bot Fodder: (>Guys, let's go make friends with that Lich! >But be careful in this empty hallway, it's spooky in here.)

  425. [9:00 PM] Mizuki: (:sadpopo:)
  426. [9:01 PM] Mizuki: (do not bully)
  427. [9:01 PM] Faerie: (Please bully)
  428. [9:01 PM] Bot Fodder: (kek)
  429. [9:01 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Azura picks the lock on the door... Or, well.
  430. [9:01 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... Stares at the lot of you.
  431. [9:02 PM] Mizuki: Alicia sits on one of the beds - "Can you try to open that door at the end, Lexon? You're the best here with that kind of stuff."
  432. [9:02 PM] Faerie: ''Do you really want me fiddling with it? Door'd probably fall on top of me'', Razmik jokes, a bit bitterly.
  433. [9:02 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The bed is hard and not at all springy.
  434. [9:03 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It's a solder's bed - not one for comfort, sadly, but one for keeping the spirit honed.
  435. [9:03 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Which is to say, low-budget and deal with it.
  436.  
  437. [9:03 PM] Bot Fodder: John leans over to look at Azura's locked door. Is it really locked, or does it merely require thumbs?
  438. [9:03 PM] Faerie: Hard bed? That's not what you'd want to be sleeping in. ''Avoid'', Razmik says to himself.
  439. [9:03 PM] Runic: "grnnn, I guess" Lexon says
  440. [9:04 PM] Runic: Lexon releases the handle of the door that he was going to try to open and decides to go around where Alicia is and picklock the door leading to the same room
  441. [9:04 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Roll Thieves' Tool with +5, if you have any. Elsewise... A straight d20.
  442. [9:05 PM] Runic: Taking out his burglar bag for burglar uses, he opens up a his lockpicking kit and gets to work
  443. [9:05 PM] Faerie: (Does the bag smell of fried food?)
  444. [9:05 PM] Runic: roll 1d20+5
  445. [9:05 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+5]: 10, Result: 15
  446. [9:05 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: With a creak, the door opens... Crashing a set of skeletons accidentally as it does. The bones seem to be that of a former guard, drained of life.
  447.  
  448. [9:05 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Inside, there's a ballista.
  449. [9:06 PM] Runic: "Hmmm"(edited)
  450. [9:06 PM] Mizuki: In the meanwhile Alicia distracts John, talking about how hard those beds are and that those soldiers deserved better conditions.
  451. [9:06 PM] Runic: "Spooky" Lexon reacts
  452. [9:06 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... oh, and 6 sets of pikes, and chainmails in the boxes.
  453. [9:06 PM] Faerie: Razmik jumps to attention! Was the skeleton positively dead, as opposed to ''mostly dead'' or ''undead''?
  454. [9:06 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The ballista is well-maintained, despite the dark time, and will fire just fine.
  455. [9:06 PM] Faerie: (>better conditions
  456. BETTER DEAD THAN RED)
  457. [9:06 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: In fact, there's also a set of ammo, 10 in bolts, in one of the boxes.
  458. [9:07 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The skeleton's crushed and drained of all signs of animation.
  459.  
  460. [9:07 PM] Faerie: (How the fuck does a ballista work? Range, and such. Can it be moved?)
  461. [9:08 PM] Runic: (Yes Fae)
  462. [9:08 PM] Runic: (Think of it as a giant crossbow)
  463. [9:08 PM] KogasaGaSagasa:
  464.  
  465. [9:08 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You are able to move it around, but it's heavy.
  466. [9:08 PM] Faerie: ''At least whoever was stationed here was well supplied. Any ideas?'', Razmik turns to John.
  467. [9:08 PM] Runic: (Lexon stronk!)
  468. [9:08 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It HAS wheels, but is more meant to be moved via soldiers and mules.
  469.  
  470. [9:09 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Arcana check, Alicia.
  471. [9:09 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: And only Alicia.
  472. [9:09 PM] Bot Fodder: "Hmm. Well, life on a low pay grade isn't easy, it's true. But that's part of the job, and a good guard doesn't complain." John shrugs.
  473. [9:09 PM] Faerie: (Oh, wew, I ask because ballistae aren't able to be moved easily in some systems)
  474. [9:09 PM] Mizuki: "Well, a ballista is cool and all, but I doubt we will be able to use it inside this keep."- She commented
  475. [9:09 PM] Mizuki: roll 1d20+6
  476. [9:09 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+6]: 15, Result: 21
  477. [9:09 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... one of the ballista bolt is very, very magical.
  478. [9:10 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It is a Ballista Bolt of Lightning.
  479. [9:10 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: While meant to be used with a ballista... Alicia, you suppose that in a pinch, anyone can use it as a javelin.
  480. [9:10 PM] Mizuki: (cool)
  481. [9:11 PM] KogasaGaSagasa:
  482.  
  483. [9:11 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: However, you are UNABLE TO SPEAK THE COMMAND WORD without using the ballista.
  484. [9:11 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: So it'll be a literal magical pointy stick with nonproficiency.
  485. [9:11 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: :sadpopo:
  486. [9:11 PM] Faerie: ''It shows. They definitely thought weaponry was a better investment than amenities, huh...''
  487. [9:11 PM] Faerie: Although, Razmik would be hard-pressed to call proper beds an amenity.
  488.  
  489. [9:12 PM] Mizuki: "Now, about this bolt..." - Said Alicia approaching it and picking it up - "It's enchanted with lightning magic. Normally we would need a ballista to fire it, but it can be used as a javelin as well."(edited)
  490. [9:12 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (If anyone's proficient with Ballista Bolt let me know)
  491. [9:12 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (I really need to double check your sheet if you are)
  492. [9:13 PM] Bot Fodder: John looks the ballista over. "They probably mounted this on the battlements," he comments. "With how fast the city must've fallen, they probably had no time to prepare."
  493. [9:13 PM] Faerie: (whistles)
  494.  
  495. [9:13 PM] Runic: "Guess so"
  496. [9:14 PM] Runic: "I wonder if we can even move this thing..."
  497. [9:14 PM] Bot Fodder: (John has proficiency in land vehicles!)
  498. [9:14 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Well, it's roughly 400 pounds.
  499. [9:14 PM] Bot Fodder: (IE siege weapons.)
  500. [9:14 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Land Vehicle's good enough for the Ballista, yes.)
  501. [9:14 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ...
  502. [9:14 PM] Runic: (kek)
  503. [9:15 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: >400 pounds is less than 500 pounds
  504. [9:15 PM] Faerie: ''So, anything interesting we could do with it? Like setting it up against a door and luring people out to it? That sounds more useful against regular soldiers than undead, hrm.''
  505. [9:15 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (I am sure Kap know where I am going with this.)
  506.  
  507. [9:16 PM] Mizuki: "Soo... Anyone interested on this bolt?" - Asked Alicia. - "I'm not very good with throwing weapons..."
  508. [9:16 PM] Bot Fodder: "It wouldn't be easy to get this up the stairs, but... it does look like it can fire." The guard pokes the tips of his fingers together bashfully. "Y'know, I've always wanted to fire one of these..."
  509. [9:16 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Tot raises a paw.
  510. [9:16 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... Then put it back down, lamenting at his own pint-sized body.
  511.  
  512. [9:17 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d100
  513. [9:17 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d100]: 43, Result: 43
  514. [9:17 PM] Faerie: Razmik looks Tot over, thristing for more.
  515. [9:17 PM] Faerie: ''But can you, cattually?''
  516. [9:17 PM] Bot Fodder: "Oh, I'll hang on to that!" John volunteers, taking the bolt. "Uh, you know. Just in case."
  517. [9:17 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Tot glares at the paladin, as if upset.
  518. [9:18 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "One day I'll become a mighty demon-" "Meow." Azura interrupts Tot.
  519.  
  520. [9:18 PM] Faerie: Razmik stiffles a chortle.
  521. [9:18 PM] Mizuki: Alicia pets Tot. She can relate to the little imp, between her mercenary friends, she was the one with less physical strenght.
  522. [9:19 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Tot leans into the pet a little... Before jumping. "Hey, mage, hey mage,"
  523. [9:19 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "You know Tenser's Floating Disk?"
  524. [9:19 PM] Faerie: (That's not true, I saw your code, she had like 16 STR before Optimizations™!)
  525. [9:19 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "If you do, we can put the ballista on it and take it with us!"
  526. [9:19 PM] Faerie: (Holy fuck, that'd be great)
  527.  
  528. [9:19 PM] Mizuki: "I... Don't know that yet" - Lamented Alicia
  529. [9:20 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Azura seems amused.
  530.  
  531. [9:20 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Well, I guess there's no helping it." Tot shrugs, rummaging through boxes of sharp pointy objects and chainmails. "Tell me when you are going again."
  532. [9:22 PM] Faerie: Chain mail and pikes, chain mail and pikes... not of much use to Razmik, sadly.
  533. [9:22 PM] Faerie: Any javelins around, besides the already mentioned bolt?
  534. [9:22 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Ready to keep going?
  535. [9:22 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Ah, ... Sure,
  536. [9:22 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: There'll be a few dozen javelins as well, for the taking.
  537. [9:22 PM] Faerie: ...How many javelins can one person feasibly carry?
  538. [9:22 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Hm.
  539. [9:22 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: 6 before it becomes too edgy?
  540. [9:23 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: After 12, you'll start going "I am the bone of my javelins", I think.
  541.  
  542. [9:23 PM] Bot Fodder: "About six," John answers after Razmik asks aloud. "More than that gets too bulky unless you pack them together, and then they're too hard to draw."
  543. [9:23 PM] Faerie: (If you're just taking them along for a walk, I guess it'd be a high number, but... yeah. You don't wanna look like a clown, or be carrying so much stuff you can't fight properly, or something. Unless you're one of those people with 52 belts, I bet those can hold javelins good)
  544. [9:23 PM] Bot Fodder: ... It sounds like he speaks from experience.
  545. [9:24 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: If you want good access to it, you can carry about 6. If you want, you can drag around a huge bundle of it, even.
  546. [9:24 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (le 3.5 sorcerer memes)
  547.  
  548. [9:24 PM] Bot Fodder: (ffffuck I remember that.)
  549. [9:24 PM] Mizuki: (is this tenser disk thing a spell?)
  550. [9:24 PM] Bot Fodder: (Telekinesis wizard slinging max size Balista bolts.)
  551. [9:25 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/forgottenrealms/images/b/b8/Hennet_Sam-Wood_PHB3e.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20140912004315
  552.  
  553. [9:25 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Yes, Mizu.)
  554. [9:25 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (A level 1 spell.)
  555. [9:25 PM] Bot Fodder: (ALSO.)
  556. [9:25 PM] Faerie: Razmik'll just restock for two. It's not like he's had the need to fling them around a lot, anyway.
  557. [9:25 PM] Bot Fodder: A creak of wood sounds while the group talks.
  558. [9:26 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You can always come back to get whatever you want, I am sure, if not have whatever you need when you need it.
  559.  
  560. [9:26 PM] Bot Fodder: (John's Lift weight is 540)
  561. [9:26 PM] Faerie: ''It would feel weird to pepper someone with javelins from the sidelines, but I'm sure someone trained for it could make it work'', Razmik muses...
  562. [9:26 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (You can safely lift it; in fact, you can safely PUSH it around with the wheels)
  563. [9:26 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (I am not saying you can't. I am saying it's awkward to do so in combat.)
  564. [9:27 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Tenser's make it a moving turret.)
  565. [9:27 PM] Bot Fodder: "Phew, okay! I'm ready to go now!" John declares haphazardly.
  566.  
  567. [9:27 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Alright, where to?
  568. [9:27 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Upperright, or upstair, or >outside
  569. [9:27 PM] Mizuki: Upperright first!
  570. [9:28 PM] KogasaGaSagasa:
  571.  
  572. [9:28 PM] Faerie: ''Are you sure about that? I could help you with, you know, whatever it is that you're trying to do.'', Razmik offers, adjusting his armor.
  573.  
  574. [9:28 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You open the great gate to the room to the upper right...
  575. [9:28 PM] Faerie: He hoped the added pointy ends wouldn't make pushing or dragging stuff too uncomfortable.
  576. [9:28 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It is a parking and storage space.
  577. [9:29 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You are able to "resupply" here, within reason; you are able to find objects under 25g here given luck, until it's too much of a gain or becomes unreasonable (GM's discretion).
  578. [9:29 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: A cart, seemingly intact, just need a horse or two to be drawn.
  579. [9:29 PM] Faerie: Razmik eyes the containers in front of him as he enters. Was that a cart?
  580. [9:29 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: There's a notable puddle to the corner, a wet stain...
  581.  
  582. [9:30 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Otherwise, this room is just a bit smaller than the primary room; in normal times, it would be filled with supplies and carts to be re-distributed to rest of the castle, you are sure.
  583. [9:31 PM] Faerie: ...Is the puddle undead? Razmik pokes it with the edge of his sword, just in case it decides to turn into a ball of water and drown them.
  584. [9:31 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Tot's eyes glint...
  585. [9:31 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The puddle is water.
  586. [9:31 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The water is neither living nor dead.
  587. [9:31 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: :sadpopo:
  588. [9:31 PM] Mizuki: (Raz pls)
  589. [9:32 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Tot leaps into one of the box, before dragging out a small burlap sack. And starts eating into it, dragging out what appears to be tiny pieces of ... dried fish.
  590. [9:32 PM] Runic: "I wonder why there's a patch of water here in the corner" noticing Razmik's concern
  591. [9:32 PM] Bot Fodder: John appears to have his hands full. He grunts, shifting the weight to be more comfortable. "Mark two windlass models like this are actually a lot lighter than they appear because most of the metal reinforcements are outside but it really depends on where it was fitted because sometimes the stock is composite and you can't use ash like you would a bow so--" John rattles on.
  592. [9:32 PM] Runic: "I can only assume someone spilled something here earlier"
  593. [9:32 PM] Bot Fodder: He seems... very enthusiastic.
  594.  
  595. [9:33 PM] Mizuki: Alicia searches the room for potions, or anything that could be useful on the next few hours
  596. [9:33 PM] Faerie: Any crevices near it? Really, anything that would hint to where the water came from. Maybe the wall connects to the outside, and their snowy surroundings?
  597. [9:33 PM] Bot Fodder: (Oh, right. How many bolts were there?)
  598. [9:33 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (9 normal, 1 Bolt of Lightning)
  599. [9:33 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ...
  600. [9:33 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Perception, Razmik.
  601. [9:34 PM] Faerie: Razmik doesn't understand a lot what John is saying...
  602. [9:34 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Alicia, you are able to NOT find a Potion of Healing, as that's slightly more expensive than 25g.
  603. [9:34 PM] Faerie: roll 1d20+4
  604. [9:34 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+4]: 6, Result: 10
  605. [9:34 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Healing kits, however, are fair game.
  606. [9:34 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d20
  607. [9:34 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20]: 17, Result: 17
  608. [9:34 PM] Runic: Lexon roams around the room hoping to find something useful, or really anything, to loot
  609. [9:35 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: There are food and the like, as well as things like healing kits.
  610. [9:35 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You can likely find anything not TOO expensive here.
  611. [9:35 PM] Faerie: (Like holy water? :smugpopo:)
  612. [9:35 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... For example, a pack of blowgun needles, numbering 47. Who ordered THOSE?
  613. [9:35 PM] Faerie: >(25gp
  614. Never fucking mind, geez.)
  615. [9:35 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Holy Water is 25g, so... Yes.
  616. [9:36 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You DO find a small collection of Holy Water, but only 2 remains from the set of what appeared to be 12 in inventory.
  617. [9:36 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It seems that when the UNDEAD OUTBREAK happened, some guard were... Y'know.
  618.  
  619. [9:37 PM] Mizuki: Alicia looks around for a shield she could use. Before, she had a lot of trouble to cast spells while holding a shield, maybe that's no longer a problem now that she's more skilled.(edited)
  620. [9:37 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (I'll pull a meta here: This is your resupply room; if you need anything cheap, you are able to obtain it for free. The barrack's storage is for weapon and armor up to chainmail.)
  621. [9:37 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You'll find a shield no problem, Alicia.
  622. [9:37 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Razmik: You find nothing useful in regard of the water.
  623. [9:38 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You DO have a strange feeling about the water, but it's nothing you can put a finger on.
  624.  
  625. [9:38 PM] Runic: Lexon tries to find some items for throwing purposes, a single dagger isn't really much at this point, perhaps some darts
  626. [9:38 PM] Mizuki: (shield is +2 to AC, right?)
  627. [9:38 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You can get a dozen dart, no issue.
  628. [9:38 PM] Bot Fodder: John's got his hands full in a pretty literal sense.
  629. [9:38 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Yes)
  630. [9:39 PM] Mizuki: (tfw 19 AC)
  631. [9:39 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: I'll give you lots 5 minutes.
  632. [9:39 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Like, IRL 5. Don't ask, just make a list of what you want, and I'll reply to it.
  633. [9:39 PM] Faerie: ''Can't fathom why, but this puddle looks a bit out of place. Would snow really melt so quick and evenly?''
  634. Razmik's heart skips a beat at those. Hurriedly, he tears apart the set's casing to get the flasks in his grasp.
  635. [9:39 PM] Faerie: That's, at discount price, 20gp, for two (2) flasks of holy water! It didn't get much better than this.
  636.  
  637. [9:41 PM] Bot Fodder: ... He hasn't set the thing down, though. "-- and the primer can sometimes interfere with the cranks but it should otherwise be fine in the rain as long as the draw isn't--" Nor has he stopped babbling.
  638. [9:41 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Tot finishes eating.
  639. [9:41 PM] Mizuki: (I'm not sure when I can cast stuff for free or when I need the components)
  640. [9:41 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... And finally has the time to look up at John.
  641. [9:41 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (You are able to cast things if you have your arcane focus.)
  642. [9:42 PM] Mizuki: (do I need components to cast hold person? Or does thearcane focus suffice?)
  643. [9:42 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Normally, you also need a free hand, so you'll need to set your sword down, cast spell and pick it back up again.)
  644. [9:42 PM] Mizuki: (what about azura casts?)
  645. [9:42 PM] Faerie: ''What's a primer?'', Razmik wonders to himself as he watches John.
  646. [9:42 PM] Bot Fodder: (John the siege engineering otaku)
  647. [9:42 PM] Mizuki: (and I have war caster now, Koga)
  648. [9:42 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (The spell will tell you if you need spell component that cost money, Mizu)
  649. [9:43 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Hold person, for example, does not indicate a price tag.)(edited)
  650.  
  651. [9:43 PM] Mizuki: (ah, I see)
  652. [9:43 PM] Faerie: As far as preparations are concerned, Razmik felt ready.
  653. [9:43 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (And you are right, hey... Yes, you are able to cast fine.)
  654. [9:43 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You... are ready to advance?
  655. [9:43 PM] Faerie: (The spell explicitly says when a component's consumed. If not, assume you can use it for however long. Don't ask how that works for bat guano)
  656. [9:44 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: There's not much to advance to beside for upward, I suppose. Ready to head up?
  657. [9:44 PM] Mizuki: (yes!)
  658. [9:44 PM] Bot Fodder: "For the wood, of course," John declares. "Though if improvised using nearby materials, there isn't always time to seal it or gather the correct resins and then you'd still need plenty of the right type of rawhide to supplement the shocks unless you have--"
  659. [9:44 PM] Bot Fodder: Yup, he's ready. You're sure he's ready.
  660. [9:44 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... The air becomes stiff, almost immediately as you entered the second floor. It's just a small room, with stair up and back down, but... Something in the air seems to make Tot's fur stand on its ends. Tot hisses, unpleasantly so.
  661. [9:45 PM] KogasaGaSagasa:
  662.  
  663. [9:45 PM] Runic: Lexon delighted to the finding of a dozen darts, is satisfied and moves on
  664.  
  665. [9:45 PM] Mizuki: Alicia picks up a shield and straps it to her arm.
  666. [9:45 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The door in front of you is open, actually,
  667. [9:45 PM] KogasaGaSagasa:
  668.  
  669. [9:46 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Revealing the hallway, a door into the facilities, and the other flight of stair on the other side,
  670. [9:46 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: meanwhile, the door blocked by rubble downstair? It's just a normal set of stair mirroring the non-blocked end.
  671. [9:46 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d100
  672. [9:46 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d100]: 31, Result: 31
  673. [9:46 PM] Faerie: Razmik wonders if they couldn't just get a Wizard to work on ballistae, since it all sounded awfully complicated to him.
  674.  
  675. [9:46 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The door to north is locked.
  676. [9:47 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Or at least.. stuck. You aren't sure.
  677. [9:47 PM] Faerie: Raz looks around. Not much else to notice, in the hallway?
  678. [9:47 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Upstair, at 3rd floor, if anyone checks, is another flight of stair up toward what seems like lonely watchtowers and doors in to some sort of setup.
  679. [9:47 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Not much, just the door...
  680. [9:47 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d100
  681. [9:47 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d100]: 72, Result: 72

  685. [9:48 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20]: 4, Result: 4
  686. [9:48 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: I take that back.
  687. [9:48 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Your light source flicker- Alicia's Light spell.
  688. [9:48 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Those don't normally flicker. So... That shifting shadow...
  689. [9:48 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Is a Shadow that's hiding really badly.
  690. [9:49 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: As if noticing your gaze, the hallway animate, a swarm of shadows silently creeping, crawling toward you.
  691.  
  692. [9:49 PM] Mizuki: "Something is wrong" - Whispered Alicia - "Those shadows aren't normal."
  693. [9:50 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The Shadow, however, seems to... think that it's hidden still, and is crawling slowly toward the group of adventurers.
  694. [9:50 PM] Faerie: Razmik's hand reaches for his blade's hilt. ''I think we're being watched!'' he stammers before beating his gauntlet against the rim of his shield.
  695. [9:50 PM] Bot Fodder: "Uh, yeah. For one, they're moving on their own." John looks at Alicia as though she were the dense one.
  696. [9:50 PM] Faerie: No, he still does not have ranks in Peltasta.
  697.  
  698. [9:50 PM] Bot Fodder: John puts the ballista down carefully and takes out his weapon.
  699. [9:51 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ...
  700. [9:51 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It stops 20ft away from the group, as if contemplating.
  701. [9:51 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: At this distance, it's clear that it's a Shadow, one of those undead you've fought before - if a bit larger than usual.
  702. [9:52 PM] Faerie: Falling back to the center of the room, Razmik instructs his companions to stick close.
  703.  
  704. [9:52 PM] Mizuki: Alicia hurls a fire bolt against the shadow!
  705. [9:52 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ...
  706. [9:52 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Uh
  707. [9:52 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Roll to hit :sadpopo:
  708. [9:52 PM] Mizuki: roll 1d20+3
  709. [9:52 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+3]: 14, Result: 17
  710. [9:53 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The shadow is struck squarely. The ground is stone, so the castle is fine.
  711. [9:53 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Now, roll damage.
  712. [9:53 PM] Faerie: Then he observes the mass of darkness before them, thinking if anything about it came to mind. Uh, it did seem particularly big, was that normal?
  713. [9:53 PM] Mizuki: roll 2d10
  714. [9:53 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [2d10]: 8,6, Result: 14
  715. [9:53 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It... immolates, and howls silently.
  716. [9:53 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It rises from the ground, forming a writhing ball of tendrils on top, and a giant, gaping maw that seems to devour light.
  717. [9:53 PM] Mizuki: "First strike is ours!"
  718. [9:54 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Initiative.
  719. [9:54 PM] Runic: (Fug)
  720. [9:54 PM] Runic: roll 1d20+3

  724. [9:54 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+3]: 1, Result: 4

  740. [9:56 PM] Faerie: (Dicebot is getting BORED.)
  741. [9:56 PM] Bot Fodder: John doesn't need long to decide that there's no time like the present. He darts behind the Ballista and sets to facing it toward the monster.
  742. [9:56 PM] Mizuki: Alicia examines the thing, she read about those creatures before.
  743. [9:56 PM] Mizuki: (arcana?)
  744. [9:57 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Go for it, John.
  745. [9:57 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Go for THAT, Alicia.
  746. [9:57 PM] Bot Fodder: (I... don't really know what kind of action operating this is.)

  751. [9:57 PM] Bot Fodder: (How many turns will it take to load?)
  752. [9:57 PM] Faerie: (Readying it is an action too, no?)
  753. [9:57 PM] Faerie: (Assuming we loaded it downstairs)
  754. [9:57 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (action to load, action to "aim", action to fire)
  755. [9:57 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (However, you are considered to have it aimed before start of combat.)
  756. [9:58 PM] Faerie: (READY YOUR ACTION TO FIRE)
  757. [9:58 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (... I'll also consider it to take the action to AIM AND FIRE, since it's otherwise useless ok)
  758.  
  759. [9:59 PM] Faerie: (I'm totally thinking John can ready for Raz, who is up next, to aim the thing into the not-Beholder :sadpopo:)
  760. [9:59 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Oh, shit, Alicia, sorry. Yeah. This is an undead being known as Shadow.
  761. [10:00 PM] Faerie: Do Shadows usually have big, gaping maws, though?
  762. [10:00 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It seems to mimic the form of a legendary monster, called Beholder - a being of abberant nature, whose eyes fire rays of death and misery, and can even stop all form of magic.
  763.  
  764. [10:00 PM] Bot Fodder: "Uh, gimme a sec! Good thing this looks like it can be crewed by one..." John grits his teeth and pivots the heavy machine on the spot, wheels scraping against the ground loudly. He grasps the four-armed crank and, with a huff, draws the ballista in record time.
  765. [10:01 PM] Bot Fodder: (So, John will be ready to fire next turn, right?)
  766. [10:01 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (You are able to fire now, actually - aiming and firing is one action, loading is one.)
  767. [10:02 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Houserule so we don't have to /aim/ the damn thing.)
  768. [10:02 PM] Bot Fodder: (Oh, wow.)
  769. [10:02 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (And.... It should be loaded because fuck that shit.)
  770. [10:02 PM] Bot Fodder: (B-but drama!)
  771.  
  772. [10:02 PM] Faerie: (Hey, bonus action to aim also works, since it's cumbersome and all?)
  773. [10:03 PM] Mizuki: "It may look scary, but that thing is merely mimicking a beholder" - Said Alicia - "It's just a shadow, a form of undead."
  774. [10:03 PM] Faerie: (>Even if standard action, Lexon can operate to aim it for free)
  775. [10:03 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (... Faepls. But your suggestion will be kept in the mind for later purposes, for now it's just action to aim and fire.)
  776. [10:03 PM] Faerie: ''What's a 'beholder'?'' Razmik yells to his side. ''Surely, they're not called that because of the eye?''
  777. [10:04 PM] Bot Fodder: John hastily sights the monster. "Aaand... release!" John doesn't know what a Beholder is, but he's only too happy to launch a meter-long shaft of reinforced iron up its -- whew, okay, calm down. He fires.
  778.  
  779. [10:05 PM] Mizuki: "A magical monster with many eyes" - She answered
  780. [10:05 PM] Faerie: (>iron
  781. He doesn't know)
  782.  
  783.  
  784. [10:05 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Go for the roll, John - you can use your own attack bonus for ranged weapon, or +6, whichever is better.
  785. [10:05 PM] Bot Fodder: (Well, technically iron reinforced wood :sadpopo:)
  786. [10:05 PM] Faerie: Razmik is understandably confused! ''And why would anyone wanna mimic a bunch of eyes?''
  787. [10:05 PM] Bot Fodder: roll 1d20+6
  788. [10:05 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+6]: 13, Result: 19
  789. [10:05 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: However, do not tell me you use a Maneuver. This isn't strictly an Attack action.
  790. [10:05 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: That's... a hit.
  791. [10:06 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Damage is 3d10 piercing.
  792. [10:06 PM] Faerie: (John makes loud revving sounds as he aims. Distracting Strike!)
  793. [10:06 PM] Mizuki: "To scare us, Raz. Beholders are way stronger than those weaklings."
  794.  
  795. [10:07 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: @Bot Fodder
  796. [10:07 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (If John doesn't action surge, Raz's turn after)
  797. [10:07 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Provisional damage roll,
  798. [10:07 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 3d10 piercing
  799. [10:07 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [3d10]: 6,10,3, Result: 19
  800. [10:08 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The beholder silently howls. Silently.
  801. [10:08 PM] Bot Fodder: (Sorry :firepopo:)
  802. [10:08 PM] Faerie: (Oh, that's not the magical fucking bolt?)
  803. [10:08 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (It's alright. You can take 19 or ... erm, reroll)
  804. [10:08 PM] Bot Fodder: (It's the normal one!)
  805. [10:08 PM] Bot Fodder: (And pass.)
  806. [10:08 PM] Faerie: (I see, I see.)
  807. [10:08 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Raz, your turn.
  808. [10:08 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The shadow seems very disturbed by the ballista bolt.
  809. [10:08 PM] Faerie: The shadow's not floating unconveniently high, or anything, right?
  810. [10:09 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: No.
  811. [10:09 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Like a normal Beholder, it's floating about 2 feet in air.
  812. [10:09 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: A wisp of eldritch light spills from the shadow as the ballista bolt pierced it, but was quickly swallowed up in the darkness.
  813. [10:09 PM] Bot Fodder: (The big question is whether it can replicate the beholder's line-of-sight effects.)
  814.  
  815. [10:10 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Mizu will find out!)
  816. [10:10 PM] Faerie: >2 feet
  817. Razmik is taller than that! He can charge at it to attack, bad rolls or otherwise.
  818. [10:10 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Or maybe Raz kek)
  819.  
  820. [10:10 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Whatever it is, Razmik....
  821. [10:10 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Should do it.
  822.  
  823. [10:11 PM] Faerie: But yeah, he does just that. ''Yaaah, we need to hurry!'', he shouts through his attempt to bring it harm.
  824. [10:11 PM] Faerie: Not much of a battlecry, but hey, time is of the essence.
  825. [10:11 PM] Faerie: roll 1d20+7 to hit
  826. [10:11 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+7]: 17, Result: 24
  827. [10:11 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: That's easy hit.
  828. [10:11 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The "beholder" didn't even bother dodging, it seems.
  829.  
  830. [10:12 PM] Faerie: ...well, fuck, alright.
  831. [10:12 PM] Faerie: I'm declaring a Smite. Morninglord's Blessing.
  832. [10:12 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Alright.
  833. [10:12 PM] Faerie: roll 1d8+6 slashing
  834. [10:12 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d8+6]: 1, Result: 7
  835. [10:13 PM] Faerie: Razmik so wishes he were a Dawngreeter right now. Then, he would be able to scream ''Dawngreeter, greet the darkness!'' as he drives his sword into the shadow's eye.
  836. [10:13 PM] Faerie: roll 2d6 radiant
  837. [10:13 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [2d6]: 2,6, Result: 8
  838. [10:14 PM] Mizuki: (ded)
  839. [10:14 PM] Bot Fodder: Um, hello? John isn't sure whether Raz wants him to wave or what. He focuses on reloading instead.
  840. [10:14 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (What if I tell you, it's just a larger-than-usual Shadow? ...)
  841. As soon as you struck it in melee... And I guess actually killing it outright, two balls of lightning shots out from it, ramming into you with a pulse of lightning each, each with a vengeance. So THAT was what the light inside the shadow was...!
  842. [10:14 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d20+4
  843. [10:14 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+4]: 18, Result: 22
  844. [10:14 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d20+4
  845. [10:14 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+4]: 14, Result: 18
  846. [10:14 PM] Faerie: Fighting the childish impulse, he repositions himself to strike again after the stab...
  847. [10:15 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 2d8
  848. [10:15 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [2d8]: 3,4, Result: 7
  849. [10:15 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 2d8
  850. [10:15 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [2d8]: 3,6, Result: 9
  851. [10:15 PM] Bot Fodder: (Shadow Jaeger's rubbing off on him.)
  852. [10:15 PM] Mizuki: (fugggg)
  853. [10:15 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The lightning singes you for 16 in total!
  854. [10:15 PM] Faerie: (Lightning damage?)
  855. [10:15 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The will o' wisps cackle madly.
  856. [10:15 PM] Faerie: Just Razmik?
  857. [10:15 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Die, die, travellers! Die, die! Die to our traps, of traps and traps!"
  858. [10:15 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Yes, those are literal melee attacks.)
  859.  
  860. [10:16 PM] Faerie: Noted. ''singed'' is a bit of an understatement, though. Chain mail a good conductor, I'd imagine.
  861.  
  862. [10:16 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Anything else?
  863. [10:16 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You ... no, Lexon.
  864. [10:17 PM] Mizuki: (how many hp, Fae?)
  865. [10:17 PM] Faerie: Beholder still standing? Er, floating.
  866. [10:17 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: What will you do, Lexon? You see Razmik banishing the shadow, only to be zapped by balls of vengeance.
  867. [10:17 PM] Runic: (So what are we currently facing now? A shadowy beholder with tendrils and two will-o-wisps?)
  868. [10:17 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Nah, "kiling it outright" as noted above)
  869.  
  870. [10:18 PM] Mizuki: (only the wisps)
  871. [10:18 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Two will o' wisps remain, previously hidden in the shadow of ~~colossus~~ beholder.(edited)
  872.  
  873. [10:19 PM] Faerie: Razmik clutches his stomach with his shield arm for a second, focusing. ''You're still not dead, you can still stand'', the always present little voice in his head states.
  874. [10:19 PM] Faerie: He'll strike again at the nearest 'wisp'
  875.  
  876. [10:19 PM] Faerie: Are they right next to each other?
  877. [10:19 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ...
  878. [10:19 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You have multiattack, right
  879. [10:19 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Yes, right next to each other
  880. [10:19 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Right next to YOU, actually.
  881.  
  882. [10:20 PM] Runic: "Alright since this plan worked out pretty well last time, it'll sure to work again as well!" Lexon yells
  883. [10:20 PM] Runic: Lexon quickly runs towards the enemy before them, hand hovering to the hilt of his shortsword and with a quick motion, slips strap holding the swordshort from his belt, letting it drop to the floor
  884. [10:20 PM] Faerie: Alright, Razmik targets the one next to his right. For reasons.
  885. [10:20 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Razmik will strike at one while Lexon strikes at the other.)
  886. [10:20 PM] Bot Fodder: (Along with his pants?)
  887.  
  888. [10:20 PM] Faerie: roll 1d20+7
  889. [10:20 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+7]: 4, Result: 11
  890. [10:21 PM] Runic: In an attempt to chant a battle cry, Lexon yells ridiculously, "AHHHHHHHHHH"
  891. [10:21 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Razmik, however, aims about as well as... not.
  892. [10:22 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The ball of spark and flame taunts Razmik, "I've seen drunks swing a sword better than you!"
  893.  
  894. [10:22 PM] Runic: (Stil my turn?)
  895. [10:22 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Yeah)
  896. [10:22 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Please keep going.)
  897. [10:22 PM] Faerie: It's a solid blow! But not a very swift one, altogether. Razmik whiffs, and prepares to get scorched with lightning again :sadpopo:
  898. [10:22 PM] Runic: Following it up, he runs at an angle to the right, approaching closer to the wall of the hallway. And with precise movements he attempts to wallrun!
  899. [10:22 PM] Faerie: (Is that... wow, that's meta.)
  900. [10:22 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Uh.
  901. [10:22 PM] Runic: roll 1d20+6 rolling for success via acrobatics
  902. [10:22 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+6]: 2, Result: 8
  903. [10:23 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: I don't know ...
  904. [10:23 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Erm.
  905. [10:23 PM] Mizuki: (pfffft)(edited)
  906. [10:23 PM] Faerie: (I mean.)
  907. [10:23 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You lept to ward the wall, and slips off harmlessly. You are a short distance, about 10 feet, away from the will o' wisps.
  908. [10:23 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Lexon, what... erm.
  909. [10:23 PM] Faerie: ((I'm not sure what that's supposed to accomplish, but that's fucking rad))
  910. [10:24 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: What will you do?
  911. 10:24 PM] Bot Fodder: (I never attempt acrobatics in combat like that unless I have a feature that handles it.)
  912. [10:24 PM] Bot Fodder: (Because you feel REALLY silly when you fail the roll.)
  913.  
  914. [10:25 PM] Runic: Lexon, decides to falter back with a plan A!
  915. [10:25 PM] Runic: Which is to throw stuff things at the enemy
  916. [10:25 PM] Bot Fodder: (Like attempting to Flash over a wall in League of Legends and missing it.)
  917. [10:25 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (It's hard to give a bonus to something like that as well, as.. I actually don't have anything to give, heh. Maybe a small damage bonus?)
  918. [10:25 PM] Runic: With a quick motion he grabs a dart from his belt and flick it towards the wisp
  919. [10:25 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Aye.
  920. [10:25 PM] Runic: roll 1d20+6
  921. [10:25 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+6]: 15, Result: 21
  922. [10:25 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: That's a hit, at least.
  923. [10:25 PM] Runic: roll 1d4+3
  924. [10:25 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d4+3]: 3, Result: 6
  925. [10:26 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (The big question is should I try to kill Razmik)
  926. [10:26 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The dart glances past the will o' wisp!
  927. [10:26 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It seems nicked.
  928. [10:26 PM] Faerie: (Wait, the fucking whispers can steal souls, I forgot)
  929.  
  930. [10:26 PM] Runic: Lexon hides
  931. [10:26 PM] Runic: roll 1d20+9
  932. [10:26 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+9]: 11, Result: 20
  933. [10:26 PM] Mizuki: (disengage as soon as you can)
  934. [10:26 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It spewed ectoplasm, just a little.
  935. [10:27 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Just so I know for references, what HP at you at Razmik?
  936. [10:27 PM] Mizuki: (big sister Alicia will rush to the front lines now!)
  937. [10:27 PM] Runic: Lexon blends into the shadow once more
  938. [10:27 PM] Faerie: I'm at 10
  939. [10:27 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Will o' Wisp's turn.
  940. [10:27 PM] Mizuki: (FUG ALREADY?)
  941. [10:27 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: They do the logical thing, having lost sight of their recent assailant, and others are out of reach,
  942. [10:27 PM] Faerie: You don't have to babysit, I don't think... I have Resilient, it'll be alright... I think...
  943. [10:27 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: and rams toward Razmik,
  944. [10:27 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d20+4
  945. [10:27 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+4]: 10, Result: 14
  946. [10:27 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d20+4
  947. [10:27 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+4]: 1, Result: 5
  948. [10:28 PM] Mizuki: (l-lucky!)
  949. [10:28 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Not that they can /hit/ him, being repeled away without too much difficulty.
  950. [10:28 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Alicia, your turn.
  951. [10:28 PM] Faerie: Well, that went better than expected.
  952. [10:28 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (For reference, they have a save-or-die against 0 hp or lower foes.)
  953. [10:28 PM] Faerie: >die
  954. [10:28 PM] Faerie: What.
  955. [10:28 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Bonus action and heals them, too)
  956. [10:28 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (literally eat your soul yo)
  957.  
  958. [10:28 PM] Faerie: (Like, you mean they can take souls BEFORE the target actually dies?)
  959. [10:29 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Yes. They can like, coup de grace.)
  960. [10:29 PM] Mizuki: Alicia charges towards the will-o wisps with a firebolt on her hand, and strikes the one that Lexon attacked!
  961. [10:29 PM] Faerie: ((Man, what the fuck. >they actually went for Raz))
  962. [10:29 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Aye, Alicia,
  963. [10:29 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Roll your to-hit.
  964. [10:30 PM] Mizuki: roll 1d20+6
  965. [10:30 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+6]: 2, Result: 8
  966. [10:30 PM] Mizuki: (t-thanks)
  967. [10:30 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The will-o-wisp ducks and dodges - or at least, attempted to. It froze in midair, letting the bolt fly past it.
  968. [10:30 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It cackles madly.
  969. [10:30 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Die, travellers, die! Welcome to Silverykeep! Die, travellers!"
  970.  
  971. [10:30 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Anything else, Alicia?
  972. [10:31 PM] Mizuki: no, pass.
  973. [10:31 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Tot charges and lept at the will-o-wisp that taunted the party.
  974. [10:31 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "HEY, LOOK OVER HERE FUCKFACE!"
  975. [10:31 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d20+6
  976. [10:31 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+6]: 17, Result: 23

  979. [10:31 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... Nicks it.
  980. [10:31 PM] Faerie: (Tot wasted a perfectly good Aid action!)
  981. [10:31 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Azura prowls around the will-o-wisps, readying.
  982. [10:32 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: John, your turn.
  983.  
  984. [10:32 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (>Tot >being useful)
  985. [10:32 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (I don't know what you expected.)
  986. [10:32 PM] Faerie: (Cat puns, to be honest)
  987. [10:33 PM] Mizuki: "Stay back Raz, those things aren't that dangerous, but they can suck your life out, if you're unconscious" - She explained
  988. [10:33 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Stop, you violated the law! The penalty is death!" The will-o-wisp, taunted by the clawing, turns toward the cat.
  989. [10:33 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "DEAAATH!"
  990. [10:33 PM] Faerie: (These lightballs are kind of cute)
  991. [10:34 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Welcome to- DEATH! W-welcome! DEATH!" Like broken records of broken spirits, the will-o-wisp seems to flicker.
  992.  
  993. [10:34 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: @Bot Fodder
  994. [10:34 PM] Mizuki: (brb)
  995. [10:34 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Eeesh. Uh.
  996. [10:34 PM] Bot Fodder: (My turn?)
  997. [10:34 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Yeah.)
  998. [10:35 PM] Bot Fodder: "Oh, jeez... uh, I, I think I pulled the wrong lever! But I've got it, don't worry!" John fumbles with the ballista for a moment, then looks back and fourth between the now-tiny target and the ballista bolt in his hands. He hurls it at the wisp.(edited)
  999. [10:35 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Well
  1000. [10:35 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Uh
  1001. [10:36 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Yes.
  1002. [10:36 PM] Bot Fodder: roll 1d20+7 to hit!
  1003. [10:36 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+7]: 4, Result: 11
  1004. [10:36 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The will-o-wisp dodges, swiftly, screaming curses at you all.
  1005. [10:36 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It is very loud.
  1006. [10:36 PM] Bot Fodder: (Wait, gonna use precise.)
  1007. [10:37 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Fair enough)
  1008. [10:37 PM] Bot Fodder: roll 1d8
  1009. [10:37 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d8]: 1, Result: 1
  1010. [10:37 PM] Bot Fodder: (RIP.)
  1011. [10:37 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: I remain with my statement.

  1027. [10:38 PM] Runic: (no dead gecko today! :happypopo: )
  1028.  
  1029. [10:38 PM] Bot Fodder: (Of course.)

  1036. [10:39 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Anything else, John?
  1037. [10:40 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The will-o-wisp seems energetic, still shouting nonsensical lines from the Idiot Guide to Silverykeep Militia.
  1038.  
  1039. [10:40 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Razmik, your turn if John doesn't, y'know.
  1040. [10:40 PM] Bot Fodder: (pass)

  1042.  
  1043. [10:41 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (They are not very good town guards. It's why they are in the keep, and not out in the street, when they ded. Or something.)
  1044. [10:41 PM] Bot Fodder: (Also, probably not using the ballista for the wisp because... I mean, it might work on paper, but that's a bit ridiculous.)
  1045. [10:41 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Just a little, yeah.)
  1046. [10:41 PM] Faerie: Razmik storms against the cackling skulls balls of fire again, redoubling his efforts!
  1047. [10:42 PM] Faerie: The one John just punctured, namely.
  1048. [10:42 PM] Bot Fodder: (It's a siege weapon. A laser pointer it ain't.)
  1049. [10:42 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You strike at it!
  1050.  
  1051. [10:42 PM] Faerie: ''The world's DEAD already, by what right dare you judge us?!'', he screams for attention, seriously attempting to carry out a conversation mid-battle with wisps.

  1055. [10:43 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: That would be a hit.
  1056. [10:43 PM] Bot Fodder: (Poor wisp ;_;)
  1057. [10:43 PM] Faerie: Stop it? Oi, knights don't do that with their hands, do they?

  1062. [10:44 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: With much regrets in life AND in death, it disscipates, leaving its companion.
  1063. [10:44 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The other will-o-wisp, unharmed, hisses at Razmik.
  1064. [10:44 PM] Faerie: ...

  1066. [10:44 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "You deserve a raise- TO DEATH!"
  1067. [10:45 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It shouts incoherently.
  1068. [10:45 PM] Faerie: Wisps did not weigh much, like, at all. Razmik turns, attempting to use the momentum of his upward swing to hack away at the other laughing skull spirit, his blade coming down on it.

  1100. [10:49 PM] Faerie: ''Comes for all'', Razmik concludes. 'No need to hurry it along...''
  1101. [10:49 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You hear chanting, actually, from upstair.
  1102. [10:50 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: A slow droning, almost unintellegent.
  1103. [10:50 PM] Faerie: He puts his weapon away and looks at John, then at Tot, then at Alicia. Where's Lexon?!
  1104.  
  1105. [10:50 PM] Bot Fodder: "Shh, wait." John takes advantage of the silence to listen intently. To the chanting, and any other signs of life or movement.
  1106. [10:50 PM] Runic: Lexon dispels him out of the shadow
  1107. [10:50 PM] Bot Fodder: (... Active Perception check, I guess?)
  1108. [10:51 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: If that isn't a magical chant, not much else is. Fortunately, it is not a voice that you recognize.
  1109. [10:51 PM] Runic: "Mrrrrrm" Lexon groans, "I had a cool plan set up and I botched it"
  1110. [10:51 PM] Runic: "Well whatever"
  1111. [10:51 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Oh, it failed against your passive.)
  1112. [10:51 PM] Bot Fodder: (Aha.)
  1113. [10:51 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Not much people have negative 8 to perception...)
  1114. [10:51 PM] Faerie: Razmik instinctively ducks after hearing John's ''shh'', as if fearing further retaliation.
  1115.  
  1116. [10:51 PM] Runic: Lexon walked back to the opposite end of the hallway to retrieve his dropped shortsword and walked back to where he was
  1117. [10:52 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Alicia, Arcana check.
  1118. [10:52 PM] Mizuki: "Raz, is the healing wand out of charges?" - Asked Alicia
  1119. [10:52 PM] Mizuki: roll 1d20+6
  1120. [10:52 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+6]: 4, Result: 10
  1121. [10:52 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Alright.
  1122. [10:52 PM] Bot Fodder: "I don't hear anyone coming, but... Um, I don't think they were chanting before. Is this bad?" John looks at Alicia.
  1123. [10:52 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Tot waddles over to where the wisps were, and tries to stir around the dust a little. Nothing useful remained behind.
  1124. [10:52 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Tot seems disappointed.
  1125.  
  1126. [10:53 PM] Faerie: ''No, not yet'', he whispers back. He was out of fuel, period, but the wand was good to go if it was still needed.
  1127. [10:53 PM] Mizuki: "Might be, I don't know." - Answered Alicia simply - "That wispprobably woke up everyone in the keep."
  1128. [10:53 PM] Faerie: ''Are we going up there? Because we might have to use it if we are going up there''
  1129. [10:54 PM] Bot Fodder: "We'd better hurry. They're probably preparing for us," John deduces. "At least we can follow the sound right to them, now."
  1130. [10:54 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You've decided to go ahead, then?
  1131. [10:55 PM] Faerie: ''Preparing? If we can get the drop on whatever's up there, that would be grand, then!''
  1132. [10:55 PM] Bot Fodder: John hefts the ballista again after giving one of the levers a good kick. He insists this is how you're supposed to fix it in the manual.
  1133. [10:55 PM] Runic: "I agree!"
  1134. [10:55 PM] Faerie: Razmik considers John's plan a sound one!
  1135. [10:55 PM] Mizuki: "Raz, try to stay back this time." - Said Alicia - "You don't look well."
  1136. [10:55 PM] KogasaGaSagasa:
  1137. [10:55 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You managed to reload the ballista during the travel upstair,
  1138. [10:56 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: and upstair, a thick, heavy stone door awaits.
  1139. [10:56 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: A brozen plaque, maintained properly, reads "Lord's Private Quarter" and a smaller sign, "No entry" is below it.
  1140. [10:56 PM] Faerie: Razmik has trouble explaining to Alicia that he's not a whole lot of good in a fight --or anywhere else, for that matter!-- in the backlines, magicless as he was.
  1141. [10:57 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d100

  1144. [10:58 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Tot hisses. "Something stinks. Like home. And I ain't from a hospitable place, if ya'll know what I mean?"(edited)

  1150. [10:58 PM] Faerie: Anyone else need to be patched up?
  1151. [10:58 PM] Runic: (Lexon is doing okay)

  1163. [11:00 PM] Bot Fodder: (John's... uninjured. Probably due to not being present for two fights :sadpopo:)
  1164. [11:00 PM] Mizuki: Alicia tries to listen to the chanting. Does it seem familiar?(edited)
  1165. [11:00 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Not very, Alicia. Not a voice you recognize.
  1166. [11:00 PM] Faerie: While Alicia listens, Razmik takes a few moments to prepare.
  1167. [11:01 PM] Mizuki: "M-Maybe we should knock first?" - She asked. Hopefully she didn't sound too silly.
  1168. [11:01 PM] Faerie: He wants to, in order, ready his warhammer, Detect Evil Divine Sense behind the door

  1186. [11:05 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Yes, it's ongoing.
  1187. [11:05 PM] Faerie: The door, uh
  1188. [11:06 PM] Faerie: ...Closed? Either way, Razmik suggests Alicia should look at it.

  1190. [11:06 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The door's closed, yes.

  1195. [11:07 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Let's just call it that it recharged as the stars aligned.)

  1218. [11:12 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ( I had fun drawing this room.)
  1219.  
  1220. [11:12 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (As traditional for these type of things, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ftld7Ohojg )
  1221. The door opens, to a room filled with miasma. The miasma drifts out, as the deflated body of a beholder, pus and all, lies on the ground, in middle of a circle of magic. The magic circle glows softly, almost like that of a peaceful druidic ring... Before the symbol in middle "blinks", and the magical circle moves to "look" toward you. The body of the beholder is devoured in a surge of miasma, as the magical circle glows just a degree deeper in crimson. Meanwhile, a shadowy figure floating above the magic circle chants, and chants, and chants... Voice echoes in the room, as the shadowy being chants. It seems somewhat transparent, almost see-through, in a way. As it notices you, it... doesn't stop the chant, and manifests a scythe in its hand.
  1222.  
  1223. Three onyxes, black gemstones, glow on the scythe, while 5 more remains dim, omniously so.
  1224.  
  1225. As an additional "bonus", as part of the ritual was complete, the beholder corpse, the one that was sacrificed and disappeared, seems to have opened a small portal within the magic circle's iris. A small set of eyestalks rised out, 2 in number... They are active, and turns toward you, struggling so to crawl out from the magic circle.
  1226.  
  1227. [11:13 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "You..." "Are too..." "... Late, way too late..." Voices whisper from within the shadowy being.
  1228. [11:13 PM] Faerie: (I'm here. What just happened)
  1229. [11:14 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (You failed to stop the ritual, obviously, that's what happened!)

  1235. [11:15 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: As the voices say, and as the shadow kept chanting, another eyestalk rises out. Numbering 3.
  1236. [11:15 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... We can..." "... Prepare you..." "Some... Nightshade..."
  1237.  
  1238. [11:16 PM] Runic: "The heck is nightshade?" Lexon whispers to his party memers nervously

  1240. [11:16 PM] Faerie: Razmik doesn't understand anything, besides the impending sense of dread filling his lungs so. ''T-the portal, the portal!'', is all the talk his form can muster for now.

  1328. [11:27 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Oh. Negative energy washes over you, Lexon. It doesn't do anything, but you feel your old wounds ache, and your metabolism starts to... flow, negatively.
  1329. [11:27 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You do so. The eyestalk twitches but was unable to resist.
  1330. [11:28 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You feel as if you are Unable to Heal while inside the room, Lexon. And if you should die, you feel that you'll... Be back.
  1331. [11:28 PM] Mizuki: Alicia shivers. She never heard of such a ritual, truth be told, she has no idea what is happening, or how to deal with it. Could that be the end...?
  1332. [11:28 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Let's say that was part of your multiattack?

  1511. [11:52 PM] Faerie: Second... ghost? :sadpopo:
  1512.  
  1513. [11:52 PM] Faerie: (Ah, man, so do we unload on the ghost or work our way through the eyestalks?)
  1514. [11:53 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The one ejected from the primary ghost when the fire bolt from Alicia struck it.
  1515. [11:53 PM] Bot Fodder: (If that portal gets wide enough to see through: Save or Insane checks all around!)(edited)
  1516. [11:53 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Fufufufu.)
  1517.  
  1518. [11:54 PM] Faerie: roll 1d20+10, on ghostperson of the ghost
  1519. [11:54 PM] Faerie: (I... seriously hope John's got this!)
  1520. [11:54 PM] Faerie: Ah, my bad.
  1521. [11:54 PM] Faerie: roll 1d20+10 no comma this time
  1522. [11:54 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+10]: 4, Result: 14
  1523. [11:54 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: 14 is... Enough to hit.
  1524.  
  1525. [11:55 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (When you said ghostperson of the ghost do you mean the one on fire, or the scythe wielder?)
  1526. [11:55 PM] Faerie: Razmik brings the hammer down on it, again.
  1527. [11:55 PM] Faerie: Scythe wielder, naturally! It's edgier, therefore more dangerous.
  1528. [11:55 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Sensible.
  1529. [11:55 PM] Faerie: roll 1d8+6 bludgeoning magical
  1530. [11:55 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d8+6]: 2, Result: 8
  1531. [11:56 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... For our lord!" A voice screams, loosening its grip on the scythe, and tackled the hammer head-on, taking the blow.
  1532. [11:56 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It's knocked out of the scythe wielder, becoming hammered.
  1533. [11:56 PM] Faerie: At least it's not a damn 1!
  1534.  
  1535. [11:56 PM] Bot Fodder: John focuses. He shuts out the chanting, the shifting miasma, the horrid writhing spilling over the edges of the portal. His task is simple. All he needs to do aim. Aim a quarter ton anti-fortress weapon he's never used for real before at an airborne human-sized target. Piece of cake.
  1536. [11:56 PM] Faerie: Razmik... takes it, concerned. And readies!
  1537. [11:56 PM] Faerie: Pass.
  1538. [11:56 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: John, be inspired.
  1539.  
  1540. [11:57 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It's also your shot to call.
  1541. [11:57 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: I mean, your turn. Yes.
  1542.  
  1543. [11:58 PM] Faerie: (Can I save 5 feet worth of movement to the side for John's shot? For cool, or something. Otherwise, assume he took that after attacking :sadpopo:)
  1544. [11:58 PM] Bot Fodder: With the lighting-infused bolt loaded, John holds his breath, nudging the unwieldy ballista slightly to take aim at a target far smaller than it was ever intended to hit, Fortunately, it is also much closer than intended as well.
  1545. [11:59 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Razmikpls)
  1546. [11:59 PM] Bot Fodder: "Raz, heads up!" John shouts, gripping the release lever.
  1547. February 26, 2017
  1548. [12:00 AM] Faerie: (Hey, rolling out of danger is a staple in-)
  1549. [12:00 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (You normally can't. But I'll give you not only advantage to dex save, AND immune if you make it.)
  1550. [12:00 AM] Faerie: Whoops, can't OOC.
  1551. As arranged, Razmik tumbles out of the way! Not enough to count as movement. He just gets out of John's way as best as he can! Does that work?
  1552. [12:00 AM] Bot Fodder: (John will actually attempt to wait until Raz is out of the way to fire, so.)
  1553. [12:00 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Oh.)
  1554. [12:00 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Then you are fine.)
  1555. [12:00 AM] Faerie: (wew)
  1556. [12:00 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: ...
  1557. [12:00 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Razmik, do you... Did you, move?
  1558. [12:01 AM] Bot Fodder: (THAT SAID the ghost can hear us too.)(edited)
  1559. [12:01 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Just asking because I need to take my Reaction if you did.
  1560. [12:01 AM] Faerie: Assuming it wouldn't (obviously) trigger an AoO or something, yeah.
  1561. [12:01 AM] Bot Fodder: (Hoo boy, did I call it?)
  1562.  
  1563. [12:01 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: It will.
  1564. [12:01 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Lightning bolt or scythe?
  1565. [12:02 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Take your pick.
  1566. [12:02 AM] Faerie: ...How much damage on hit, again? I'll take the bolt. Thank you.
  1567. [12:02 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: The same Dex Save Advantage offer is still there.
  1568. [12:02 AM] Bot Fodder: (Oh, that's not as bad. I thought it was going to grapple or use telekinesis :3c )
  1569. [12:02 AM] Bot Fodder: (Because hostage.)(edited)
  1570. [12:02 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: just 4d6.
  1571. [12:02 AM] Faerie: (T-telekinesis? But yeah, that beast's 4d8)(edited)
  1572. [12:03 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Go for it, John.
  1573. [12:03 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: You are Inspired, so I guess remember that.
  1574.  
  1575. [12:03 AM] Bot Fodder: John fires!
  1576. [12:03 AM] Bot Fodder: roll 1d20+6
  1577. [12:03 AM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+6]: 20, Result: 26
  1578. [12:03 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Razmik, give me a dexterity saving throw with Advantage.
  1579. [12:03 AM] Bot Fodder: (AHAHAHA)
  1580. [12:03 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: You /crit/ the cultist!
  1581. [12:03 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: damage from the Ballista doubles!
  1582. [12:03 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: that's 6d10.
  1583. [12:04 AM] Mizuki: (fucking nice)
  1584. [12:04 AM] Faerie: roll 1d20+0 MADMAN
  1585. [12:04 AM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+0]: 5, Result: 5
  1586. [12:04 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: It cannot dodge as its chanting.
  1587. [12:04 AM] Faerie: roll 1d20+0
  1588. [12:04 AM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+0]: 8, Result: 8
  1589. [12:04 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Piffhahha
  1590. [12:04 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll your 6d10, then 4d6
  1591. [12:04 AM] Faerie: ((AHAHAHAHA, FUCKING BLOW US UP))
  1592. [12:04 AM] Bot Fodder: roll 6d10
  1593. [12:04 AM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [6d10]: 1,4,4,8,8,8, Result: 33
  1594. [12:04 AM] Bot Fodder: roll 4d6
  1595. [12:04 AM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [4d6]: 6,1,2,3, Result: 12
  1596.  
  1597. [12:04 AM] Mizuki: (w-wait, Raz got obliterated as well?)
  1598. [12:04 AM] Bot Fodder: (Uh oh.)
  1599. [12:05 AM] Bot Fodder: (Maybe Runic's lifelinked?)
  1600. [12:05 AM] Faerie: (Those 8s. Hey, that's both the piercing and thunder damage, right?)
  1601. [12:05 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: You are /dropped to -2/, Razmik. Con save.
  1602. [12:05 AM] Mizuki: (I-I got hit too?)
  1603. [12:05 AM] Faerie: roll 1d20+5
  1604. [12:05 AM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+5]: 3, Result: 8
  1605. [12:05 AM] Bot Fodder: (Fuck.)
  1606. [12:05 AM] Faerie: Stop.
  1607. [12:05 AM] Faerie: Inspiration, being burnt at thunderous speeds.
  1608. [12:05 AM] Bot Fodder: (Um... so, who has healing potions?)
  1609. [12:05 AM] Faerie: roll 1d20+5
  1610. [12:05 AM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+5]: 1, Result: 6
  1611. [12:05 AM] Faerie: Fuck.
  1612. [12:05 AM] Faerie: Alright.
  1613. [12:06 AM] Bot Fodder: (WOW.)
  1614. [12:06 AM] Mizuki: (HOLY)
  1615. [12:06 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: The bolt of lightning, grazing Razmik, struck past the ghost, obliterating the wraith.
  1616. [12:06 AM] Faerie: >GRAZING
  1617. [12:06 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Razmik, you seem to have fallen unconscious. Only... A degree deeper this time.
  1618. [12:06 AM] Faerie: (I might have lost a life, but at least I'm racking up that Score!)
  1619. [12:06 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: The miasma grips at your body and soul.
  1620. [12:06 AM] Mizuki: (me and Runic got hit too?)
  1621. [12:06 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Just Razmik, unfortunately)
  1622. [12:07 AM] Faerie: (Don't think you were in the way
  1623. >unfortunately)
  1624. [12:07 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: With a ring of a bell, Razmik falls quietly.
  1625. [12:07 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (This is where we need a 5th level Cleric with Revivfy)
  1626. [12:07 AM] Mizuki: (that roll 1 was the death check?)
  1627. [12:07 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Inspired, even.)
  1628. [12:07 AM] Faerie: (No, CON save)
  1629. [12:08 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... The voice of someone from beyond the veil seems to call at you, Razmik.
  1630. [12:08 AM] Bot Fodder: "--Shit! Someone, get him out of the mist! Now!" John barks on instinct.
  1631. [12:08 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: The tendrils of eyes shriek, as the ritual's interrupted.
  1632. [12:08 AM] Faerie: (You know what the worst part is? The wand's out of charges, too)
  1633. [12:08 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: The scythe falls down onto the ground with a clang, the onyx on it broken.
  1634. [12:08 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: The portal... closes.
  1635. [12:09 AM] Mizuki: combat... over?
  1636. [12:09 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Razmik remains still, before twitch. The miasma that slain him seems to be struggling against something.
  1637. [12:09 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d100
  1638. [12:09 AM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d100]: 30, Result: 30
  1639. [12:09 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: After a moment, however, the desecration animation seems to have given up.
  1640. [12:09 AM] Faerie: (I think it's drizzling outside)
  1641. [12:10 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: You remain dead, Razmik, but you are not animated.
  1642. [12:10 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Welcome, however, to your first character death. I suggest you find a miracle if you wish to keep on with Razmik.
  1643. [12:10 AM] Mizuki: (w-wait dead or uncounscious?)
  1644. NEW MESSAGES
  1645. [12:10 AM] Mizuki: (fuck.)
  1646.  
  1647. [12:05 AM] Faerie: Stop.
  1648. [12:05 AM] Faerie: Inspiration, being burnt at thunderous speeds.
  1649. [12:05 AM] Bot Fodder: (Um... so, who has healing potions?)
  1650. [12:05 AM] Faerie: roll 1d20+5
  1651. [12:05 AM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+5]: 1, Result: 6
  1652. [12:05 AM] Faerie: Fuck.
  1653. [12:05 AM] Faerie: Alright.
  1654. [12:06 AM] Bot Fodder: (WOW.)
  1655. [12:06 AM] Mizuki: (HOLY)
  1656. [12:06 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: The bolt of lightning, grazing Razmik, struck past the ghost, obliterating the wraith.
  1657. [12:06 AM] Faerie: >GRAZING
  1658. [12:06 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Razmik, you seem to have fallen unconscious. Only... A degree deeper this time.

  1660. [12:06 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: The miasma grips at your body and soul.
  1661. [12:06 AM] Mizuki: (me and Runic got hit too?)
  1662. [12:06 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Just Razmik, unfortunately)
  1663. [12:07 AM] Faerie: (Don't think you were in the way
  1664. >unfortunately)
  1665. [12:07 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: With a ring of a bell, Razmik falls quietly.
  1666. [12:07 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (This is where we need a 5th level Cleric with Revivfy)
  1667. [12:07 AM] Mizuki: (that roll 1 was the death check?)
  1668. [12:07 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Inspired, even.)
  1669. [12:07 AM] Faerie: (No, CON save)
  1670. [12:08 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... The voice of someone from beyond the veil seems to call at you, Razmik.
  1671. [12:08 AM] Bot Fodder: "--Shit! Someone, get him out of the mist! Now!" John barks on instinct.
  1672. [12:08 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: The tendrils of eyes shriek, as the ritual's interrupted.
  1673. [12:08 AM] Faerie: (You know what the worst part is? The wand's out of charges, too)
  1674. [12:08 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: The scythe falls down onto the ground with a clang, the onyx on it broken.
  1675. [12:08 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: The portal... closes.
  1676. [12:09 AM] Mizuki: combat... over?
  1677. [12:09 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Razmik remains still, before twitch. The miasma that slain him seems to be struggling against something.
  1678. [12:09 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d100
  1679. [12:09 AM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d100]: 30, Result: 30
  1680. [12:09 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: After a moment, however, the desecration animation seems to have given up.
  1681. [12:09 AM] Faerie: (I think it's drizzling outside)
  1682. [12:10 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: You remain dead, Razmik, but you are not animated.
  1683. [12:10 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Welcome, however, to your first character death. I suggest you find a miracle if you wish to keep on with Razmik.
  1684. [12:10 AM] Mizuki: (w-wait dead or uncounscious?)
  1685. [12:10 AM] Mizuki: (fuck.)
  1686. [12:11 AM] Mizuki: (can we do anything?)
  1687. [12:11 AM] Bot Fodder: John vaults the ballista and leaves it in the dust, sprinting over to Razmik. "W-we need a potion! Anyone--"(edited)
  1688. [12:11 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Nephelle's not powerful enough, unfortunately.)
  1689. [12:11 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Tot busies itself with the scythe, while Azura limps over to Razmik, sadly.
  1690. [12:12 AM] Faerie: Heh. So Raz's the first to bow out?
  1691. [12:12 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "You... You need to get the body to the cleric, Master." Azura says softly, to Alicia, obviously shaken. "But calm down. There's more to be done..." That being said, Azura seem to tremble.
  1692. [12:12 AM] Faerie: (It was fun. The stray crit made that shit look like something straight out of a book)
  1693. [12:12 AM] Mizuki: Alicia kneels before Razmik and start looking for anything that might be useful inside her bag and on her spellbook, tears starting to form on her eyes - "There must be a way, he can't be dead!!"
  1694. [12:13 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Mielikki's daughter. Her chalice." Azura gently breaths, as if to calm herself. "We need to finish up here. But the snow outside... A transportation..." Azura chews down on her feline claws, biting.
  1695. [12:13 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Now, adventurers... What will you do?
  1696.  
  1697. [12:14 AM] Bot Fodder: John picks Razmik 's body up over his shoulder wordlessly.
  1698. [12:14 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (That was 2 failed saves despite advantage, AND a dues ex machina that didn't fire, not much I can say there.)
  1699. [12:14 AM] Mizuki: "Fuck this, I don't care about the defense mechanism." - She shouted - "We need to go to Arisa's temple!"
  1700. [12:15 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Tot turns to Alicia.
  1701. [12:15 AM] Faerie: For what it's worth, Razmik's visage seems at ease. Assured, even, for during his last, Razmik brimmed with belief in his comrade John.
  1702. [12:15 AM] Bot Fodder: "... Someone needs to stay and activate it," says John, strangely calm.
  1703. [12:15 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "I'll offer you a devil's deal." Tot grins. "How about this. Let ME handle the ritual, and you... You lot go and get to safety?"
  1704. [12:16 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "I am the only passable mage here beside you, Alicia... Ashwing, was it?" Tot's eyes glint, suddenly seemingly a lot less silly.
  1705. [12:16 AM] Mizuki: "That wouldn't work!" - She said - "You still need to tell Recelle and everyone to turn on the last tower! There's no time."
  1706. [12:17 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Tot shrugs, without saying a thing. "..."
  1707. [12:18 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: The little devil seems to be trying to take advantage of your companion's death to strike a deal with you. One that the devil's confidence seems to promise will work out well.
  1708. [12:18 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Azura glares at Tot... Before turning to Alicia, with a curious look.
  1709. [12:18 AM] Bot Fodder: John's already on his way out. He digs through Razmik's bag for the map.
  1710. [12:19 AM] Faerie: (Wait, so I just read that bit up there. Shit luck all around, then?)
  1711. [12:19 AM] Bot Fodder: (You also crit failed your inspiration roll to stabilize.)
  1712. [12:19 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "I am a devil first, cat second." Tot says, bewitchingly. "You can trust a devil to get things done, alright? Make a deal with me. Save your companion. Let me be the one to perform the ritual. I promise you to perform the ritual to your letter."
  1713. [12:20 AM] Faerie: (That was CON save against the miasma, I think. But yeah, that burned through two rolls with advantage like nothing!)
  1714. [12:20 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Tot grins toothily. "Or you can sit here and wait, and... Miss your window. I wouldn't want that, even for a Paladin."
  1715.  
  1716. [12:20 AM] Mizuki: "... I'm coming with you, John." - She said crying silently - "A-Azura, I'm summoning you as a raven, can you tell Recelle and the others it's time...? Tot will perform the ritual."
  1717. [12:20 AM] Bot Fodder: "Denied."
  1718. [12:21 AM] Runic: Lexon can only stand there, silently, not knowing what to do...
  1719. [12:22 AM] Mizuki: "... Denied?"
  1720. [12:22 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Azura softly smiles, waiting and watching, learning what her master would do.
  1721. [12:22 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Tot.. Glares at John for a moment.
  1722. [12:22 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: As if noting something obvious.
  1723. [12:23 AM] Bot Fodder: John turns back to look at Alicia. The faint shine of his eyes reflects from the edge of his visor "We need you here. Raz would say the same. I can take him to the shrine on my own."
  1724. [12:24 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "And Lexon, as well." Tot sighs, the cat out of the bag. "You have too many companions. And they are smarter than my Master."
  1725. [12:25 AM] Bot Fodder: John glances over at Lexon and nods. "Yeah, you come with me. If we attract too much attention, we can split up to draw them away."
  1726. [12:25 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Tot curls up, tail swishing, obviously dejected. "Of course, it's a blizzard outside... And it's safer if you go with him. Souls... How long they'll last here, I wonder?"
  1727. [12:25 AM] Mizuki: "You don't understand how I feel." - Said Alicia her purple eyes burning - "I already lost everyone I held dear before, I'm not letting it happen again. Fuck everything, Raz isn't dying here!"
  1728. [12:26 AM] Faerie: (Aw, you guuuyyys)
  1729. [12:26 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "What I mean to say is," Tot grins. "You need to hurry, Ms. Ashwing, and whatever your name is... Least you have a... Nightmare?"
  1730. [12:26 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Tot yawns lazily.
  1731.  
  1732. [12:27 AM] Faerie: (I wonder what Tot'd do, left on his own)
  1733. [12:27 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: ( Devils are lawful, for what its worth. )
  1734.  
  1735. [12:27 AM] Bot Fodder: John sets Razmik down against the wall, then paces over to Alicia. Footsteps, heavy, armored.
  1736. [12:28 AM] Dederie: (Of course, but that's the ''to the letter'' scummy kind of lawful)
  1737. [12:28 AM] Mizuki: "Tot, you fucking piece of shit. Taking advantage of my dead friend, sooner or later, you're going to pay for this."
  1738. [12:28 AM] Bot Fodder: "Alicia."
  1739. [12:28 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Tot peers at Alicia. "Don't take it out on me. I am offering you a solution for your..." Tot points to Razmik, "Companion's life."
  1740. [12:29 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "You don't have to take it up on my offer. Mine's good for both parties. Your solution is risky." Tot yawns. "That's all. I stand to gain only a little bit of mana from this, you know...?"
  1741.  
  1742. [12:30 AM] Dederie: (You know, nobody has pointed out the elephant in the room: It might not even work out, and in the end, it's a very dangerous thing to attempt :sadpopo:
  1743. That sort of bring us back to some questions about death and undeath that were posed at the beginning of the campaign)(edited)
  1744. [12:31 AM] Bot Fodder: After a moment, John lightly puts an arm around Alicia.
  1745. [12:31 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Pihahaha)
  1746. [12:31 AM] Mizuki: (elephant?)
  1747. [12:31 AM] Bot Fodder: "It'll be all right. Trust us, okay?"
  1748. [12:31 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (aka "the big issue" Mizu!)
  1749.  
  1750. [12:32 AM] Bot Fodder: "I don't know how to work this thing, and neither does Lexon. You have to figure it out. We're relying on you."
  1751. [12:32 AM] Mizuki: Alicia cries - "P-Please hurry, and... Come back alive, with Raz. I will take care of this"
  1752. [12:32 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Tot yawns once again. "None of us... Will last long, if you sleep on this matter, Ms. Ashwing."
  1753. [12:33 AM] Mizuki: "Now go, before I change my mind." - She concluded.
  1754. [12:33 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Tot looks as Azura. "A hour, would you say?" ... Azura glares back, crackling a grin, meowing back a challenge.
  1755. [12:33 AM] Mizuki: "Azura, please go with Tot and tell everyone it's time. I'm not putting any trust in this fiend."
  1756. [12:34 AM] Bot Fodder: John lets go, nodding. "Yeah, okay. Thanks. Don't worry, everything will be fine. Guard's honor!" he says while backpedaling.(edited)
  1757. [12:34 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Tot shrugs. Azura laughs a little, a bell-like voice. "Understood, Master. You can trust a fiend... As far as you are able to throw them."
  1758. [12:34 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Azura seems to be gauging how aerodynamic Tot is.
  1759. [12:34 AM] Mizuki: Alicia recasts Azura, now as a hawk. - "I'm counting on you."
  1760. [12:35 AM] Dederie: (John: Do you vow it? :sadpopo:)
  1761. [12:35 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Fine, fine." Tot mutters. "Delivering message, as per my Master's request, alright? Let's go, fam."
  1762. [12:35 AM] Mizuki: (no wait)
  1763. [12:35 AM] Mizuki: (I don't have summon familiar prepared
  1764. [12:35 AM] Bot Fodder: "--And enough out of you." John gives the imp a substantial flick. "Come on, Lexon!"
  1765. [12:35 AM] Mizuki: (doushio :firepopo:)
  1766. [12:35 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (You don't want to ritual either, that takes 10 minutes.)
  1767. [12:35 AM] Dederie: (It's in your spellbook, as ritual)
  1768. [12:35 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (You have ... an hour or so!)
  1769. [12:35 AM] Dederie: (O-oh geez, it's actually happening?)
  1770. [12:36 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Just... Fine, look, stay here." Tot mutters. "I am not actually able to do anything against your interest. Shadow was /very/ explicit in his conditions."
  1771. [12:36 AM] Runic: "Hmph" in addition to a nod, is all Lexon can manage in acknolodgement
  1772. [12:36 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Tot nurses his flicked forehead.
  1773. [12:36 AM] Runic: And with that he follows John
  1774. [12:36 AM] Mizuki: "Actually... I didn't prepare summon familiar." - She said telepathically embarrassed - "I'm sorry, Azura, stay with me."(edited)
  1775. [12:36 AM] Bot Fodder: John disappears downstairs with Razmik on his shoulder.
  1776. [12:36 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "I'll go deliver message to my Master, then." Tot says, tail swishing gently.
  1777. [12:37 AM] Mizuki: "Out of my sight"
  1778. [12:37 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Azura meows softly and nuzzles Alicia.
  1779. [12:37 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Tot nods, before running and leaping out of sight.
  1780. [12:37 AM] Bot Fodder: (Sssooo. What do we roll for this? I'm hoping athletics -- John's not foraging, he's pushing forward.)
  1781. [12:37 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Ahahahaha. ._. )
  1782. [12:38 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: First, a DC 10 Constitution saving throw, those travelling with Razmik.
  1783. [12:38 AM] Mizuki: Shaking, Alicia starts looking for instructions of how to turn on the mechanism, while she waits for the last tower
  1784. [12:38 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: After that, a way to find North, or Survival.
  1785. [12:38 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Alicia, Arcana check.
  1786. [12:38 AM] Bot Fodder: (We've got a map!)
  1787.  
  1788. [12:39 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Yes... In a blizzard storm, vision range of 5ft, as if heavily obscured. You'll need a Survival.)
  1789. [12:39 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Or a magical way to find North.)
  1790. [12:39 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (... Or that feat :^) )
  1791. [12:40 AM] Bot Fodder: (How about memory? Which way was the entrance facing?)(edited)
  1792. [12:40 AM] Dederie: (>I suggest you find a miracle if you wish to keep on with Razmik.
  1793. Intercession: Lexon and John wading through a fuckblizzard like that with a body on their shoulders, to get to Arisa's shrine, within an hour sounds like a miracle to me.)
  1794. [12:40 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Aha, good call.
  1795. [12:40 AM] Dederie: (That is to say, you guys are a miracle for attempting it.)
  1796. [12:40 AM] Dederie: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
  1797. [12:40 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Given that, I'll let you have an advantage on that Survival.
  1798. [12:40 AM] Mizuki: roll 1d20+6
  1799. [12:40 AM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+6]: 16, Result: 22
  1800. [12:41 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: You'll still get lost after like 3 turns in the city with limited vision, which is why you need that Survival.
  1801. [12:41 AM] Runic: roll 1d20+2 con roll
  1802. [12:41 AM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+2]: 5, Result: 7
  1803. [12:41 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: The good news, Alicia - You know the ritual. As if Belaghuf's gaze lands on you, you... See how it pieces together.
  1804. [12:42 AM] Bot Fodder: roll 1d20+1
  1805. [12:42 AM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+1]: 2, Result: 3
  1806. [12:42 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: The bad news is that you can't activate it; There are two locations in the magic circle that are considered Active, and one Inactive.
  1807. [12:42 AM] Bot Fodder: roll 1d20+1
  1808. [12:42 AM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+1]: 19, Result: 20
  1809. [12:42 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: o7
  1810. [12:42 AM] Bot Fodder: (Ayy)
  1811.  
  1812. [12:42 AM] Dederie: (Dicebot is being scary today)
  1813. [12:43 AM] Runic: (Mhm)
  1814. [12:43 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: You realize, to a degree of... Something, that you never needed to send Tot at all. Or anyone - the magic circle here is able to sense remote mana pools.
  1815. [12:43 AM] Dederie: (The inactive one: Our third tower, I guess?)
  1816. [12:43 AM] Dederie: (Haha, wow.)
  1817. [12:43 AM] Bot Fodder: The visibility's bad... John won't be able to rely on landmarks like before. He puzzles out the right direction based on where he knows the entrace is facing.
  1818. [12:44 AM] Runic: roll 1d20 survival
  1819. [12:44 AM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20]: 9, Result: 9
  1820. [12:44 AM] Mizuki: "A-All I can do is wait then?" - She asked laying down on the floor, breathing deeply. - "It's happening again, Azura... I... Don't know what to do."
  1821. [12:44 AM] Dederie: (>based on where the entrance's facing
  1822. Realest shit, that's how all non Rangers do it)
  1823. [12:44 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: The bad news to John and Lexon first: You suffer 1 level of Exhaustion.
  1824. [12:45 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: The good news: You never had any, so your speed is not dropped by half. That would've been bad.
  1825. [12:45 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: You make it, as if the stars above guided you, to Arisa's side, who seems surprised and horrified at first.
  1826. [12:46 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: But, as much as the timid priestess would be scared of the dead, she's too worried about Razmik to leave him alone.
  1827. [12:46 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: She asks you two, John and Lexon, to give her some time for her ritual.
  1828. [12:46 AM] Dederie: (Oh.)
  1829. [12:46 AM] Mizuki: (oh my god please work)
  1830. [12:47 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Razmik Tarendar. You will have to answer a question, within the midst of a black, whirling shadow, clawing away from something silvery around you.
  1831. [12:47 AM] Bot Fodder: John nods. Between gasps for breath, he tells Arisa around how long ago it happened. He wasn't exactly counting, though.
  1832. [12:47 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: A barrier around your soul is slowly being worn away, as you hear a somewhat familiar voice.
  1833. [12:47 AM] Dederie: (I was wondering about that, actually... the question. THE question, and stuff.)
  1834. [12:48 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Mielikki calls to you, Razmik Tarendar, in the name of her high priestess. You are given a second chance in life, of which you have once lost."
  1835. [12:48 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Return to us, Razmik Tarendar..."
  1836. [12:49 AM] Mizuki: (HELL YES)
  1837. [12:49 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Is your soul willing to return, Razmik?
  1838. [12:49 AM] Bot Fodder: (To be fair, Koga. When you said it was snowing, I didn't know it was that big of a blizzard~ Have mercy on us southerners. We don't know what a real snowstorm looks like.)
  1839. [12:49 AM] Dederie: Is he able to answer?
  1840. [12:49 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: You are, yeah - barely.
  1841. [12:49 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: You do hear the whimper of a small elven girl that's trying her best, howeverl
  1842. [12:50 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: [Nephelle's Blessing is inactive for rest of the Nightmare Segment for everyone.]
  1843.  
  1844. [12:50 AM] Dederie: Truth be told - yeah, it wasn't a bad death! Razmik felt glad to be there until the end.
  1845. [12:50 AM] Bot Fodder: (... What's that again? :B I lost my old sheet, so.)
  1846. [12:51 AM] Dederie: However, ''is your soul willing to return'' is a question that needs another question on the opposing end of the scale.
  1847. [12:51 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (It's a passive ability that, if you drop to 0, you get a single action before you drop to 0.)
  1848. [12:51 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Nephelle would be the elven girl you saved in the very first day.)
  1849. [12:51 AM] Dederie: ''Have you done enough?''
  1850. [12:51 AM] Bot Fodder: (I remember who she is, but I didn't know what that blessing was.)
  1851. [12:52 AM] Dederie: Since the answer's probably ''no'', that leaves us with another question: ''can you do more?''
  1852. [12:52 AM] Dederie: And that's, more or less, what Razmik understood by ''is your soul willing to return?''
  1853. [12:52 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: ( https://docs.google.com/document/d/1IpbB6EinUuYeX9OWSmfz6W8AlxYl2dhMcZ5eo9ExoaU/edit )
  1854.  
  1855. [12:52 AM] Mizuki: (also, I'm fucking banishing Tot as soon as I can turn this mechanism on)
  1856. [12:52 AM] Dederie: (It's the same blessing that allowed Razmik to get up after getting dropped by the warchief's crit)
  1857. [12:52 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: ( Ahahaha )
  1858. [12:53 AM] Bot Fodder: (H-hey, he's not your familiar~)
  1859. [12:53 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: ( Tot's doing what a devil do. He revealed a bit more information than he should've, as well, so... )
  1860. [12:53 AM] Bot Fodder: (And to be fair, he WOULD have kept his word. Just, you know, in a way that hurts mostly everyone else.)
  1861. [12:54 AM] Dederie: Oh, boy.
  1862. [12:54 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: ( Well... Performing the ritual back in the first tower AND second gains you benefits, remember?)
  1863. [12:54 AM] Dederie: (I guess it depends on how much of a scumbag the devil is, no? Tot seemed... not all THAAAAAT scummy?)
  1864. [12:54 AM] Mizuki: (I-I'll think about it)
  1865. [12:54 AM] Dederie: ((Oh, that is very true!))
  1866. [12:54 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: ( He's after that reward :3c )
  1867. [12:54 AM] Bot Fodder: (Also, we can now confirm: planar outsiders have the same traits that dreamers do in these worlds, so they know what's going on.)
  1868. [12:54 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: As Razmik's mortal soul contemplates life (?) and death...
  1869. [12:55 AM] Dederie: (Yeah, he seemed to know what was going on.)
  1870. [12:55 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: The mist closes in slowly toward you, Razmik. You feel the silvery barrier weakening, and the sound of a little elven girl's wail can be heard.
  1871. [12:55 AM] Dederie: Uh, oh, right.
  1872. [12:55 AM] Dederie: Regardless of that, Nephelle crying out does load the question towards a particular conclusion...
  1873. [12:56 AM] Dederie: Easiest question of his (non?)life, to be fair.
  1874.  
  1875. [12:57 AM] Dederie: Razmik is humbled at the opportunity, and willing to give a second life for this plane, all that is Good and his companions.
  1876. [12:57 AM] Dederie: :sadpopo:
  1877. [12:57 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: ( Tot wasn't wrong - he WAS caught by the planar web that the tower setup. But he's been there for a long, long time. Much longer. )
  1878. [12:57 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: You... Fell asleep, for a second.
  1879. [12:58 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Then you "woke asleep", Razmik.
  1880. [12:58 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Welcome to the Nightmare, such as it is.
  1881. [12:58 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: You see a tearful Arisa, who promptly declares toward the two waiting outside for the result.
  1882. [12:59 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Alicia. You notice the 3rd light shining in the magic circle. For better or worse, it is time for the ritual.
  1883. [12:59 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: To finish the ritual, you ... Need a phrase, under 25 words, on a city-wide Abjuration spell's condition. What will be kept out of the barrier, Alicia?
  1884.  
  1885. [1:00 AM] Dederie: Razmik looks at his hands, and stuff. He's not... too sure about things, but he's sure enough of what happened, if that makes sense?
  1886. [1:01 AM] Mizuki: Alicia gets up shaking and starts the ritual
  1887. [1:01 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: ( You are relatively lucky to know a friendly high level cleric capable of raising the dead. )
  1888. [1:01 AM] KogasaGaSagasa:
  1889.  
  1890. [1:01 AM] Dederie: How much does he know, beyond his death, and ''waking asleep'' just now?
  1891. [1:01 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: You know that you feel weak as a goddamn kitten, Razmik.
  1892.  
  1893. [1:01 AM] Bot Fodder: "Haha... hi. I figured you couldn't -really- be dead. What would I have told Alicia?" John chuckles and rubs the back of his neck. "Man, I'd have felt pretty terrible."(edited)
  1894. [1:02 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Uh..." Arisa decide to NOT say how Razmik was really, really dead. She just put her chalice back in her box and under the trapdoor again. :sadpopo:
  1895. [1:02 AM] Dederie: (ReRaised: -4 pealty to all attack rolls, saving throws and ability checks. Every time a long rest is finished, the penalty is reduced by 1, until it disappears. Alright.)
  1896. [1:03 AM] Dederie: (I'm putting this on class features for added irony)
  1897. [1:03 AM] Bot Fodder: "I don't know how to thank you enough, Arisa."
  1898. [1:03 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (On the bright side, if you took that oppotunity attack and the scythe hit, you are a Spectre now.)
  1899. [1:03 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (And there's no coming back from THAT)
  1900. [1:03 AM] Dederie: ''John...''
  1901. [1:03 AM] Dederie: The living dead seem to call your name, John.
  1902. [1:03 AM] Runic: Lexon takes steps forward to approach the now alive Razmik, giving him a quick hug, "Good to have you back"
  1903. [1:03 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Arisa rubs her nose a little, blushing.
  1904. [1:04 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: @Mizuki You have one more thing to say after that 25 word phrase, so hurry up!
  1905.  
  1906. [1:05 AM] Mizuki: She banishes all malevolent undead, keeping Claire and her friends inside the city, the strange-looking wyvern egg also stays, living beings too, Tot... Stays as well, for now.
  1907. [1:05 AM] Mizuki: (do I say the 25 words now?)
  1908. [1:05 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Yep. Phrase it properly.
  1909. [1:05 AM] Runic: And with that, take a bottle filled with a golden liquid out from his pack, it was mead, eargerly handing it to Razmik, "Drink!" he says
  1910. [1:05 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Else you might pull a Wizard.
  1911.  
  1912. [1:06 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Uhh, drinking's -" Arisa tries to stop Lexon for a moment, before thinking to herself... and shrugging.
  1913. [1:06 AM] Bot Fodder: ("get rid of all the bad guys, kay. :^) ")
  1914. [1:06 AM] Dederie: ''Ah well you see I was about to retire and call it quits, but since you're asking so nicely!'' Razmik sighs that whole sentence after feeling Lexon around him
  1915. [1:06 AM] Dederie: ''If you'll have me.'', he smiles.
  1916.  
  1917. [1:08 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (I have to remind you, the entire party is hinging on Mizu right now)
  1918. [1:08 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Mizu fucking up can be funny as fuck)
  1919. [1:08 AM] Bot Fodder: (N-no bully ;_;)
  1920. [1:08 AM] Dederie: And proceeds to down the mead, saluting both Mielikki and the Morninglord.
  1921. ''To... Renewal'', he muses. That sounded apt.
  1922. [1:08 AM] Dederie: (I guess, but Razmik's sure she's got it!)
  1923. [1:08 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: You figure you only died because it was cloudy outside. If it was sunny, you'd prolly be ok where Lathander's watching. (?)
  1924. [1:09 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Ahem.
  1925.  
  1926. [1:09 AM] Dederie: (The joke is that renewal is part of Lath's folio, so dying and getting raised is totally a pious act, guys!)
  1927. [1:09 AM] Mizuki: "Malevolent undead and fiends are now banished from the city" - She started - "The living and benevolent or neutral undead may stay... Tot, the imp stays as well."
  1928. [1:10 AM] Bot Fodder: John joins. He doesn't know what to toast to, so he just goes with 'friends'. And his hometown, you guess.
  1929. [1:10 AM] Mizuki: Alicia concludes the ritual with a deep breath. Hoping she didn't ruin anything.
  1930. [1:10 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: The ritual finishes...
  1931. [1:10 AM] Dederie: Fucking hell, what was it that Lexon had handed him? He wasn't sure, but his stomach burned.
  1932. [1:10 AM] Mizuki: (h-how is it guys?)
  1933. [1:10 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d100
  1934. [1:10 AM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d100]: 28, Result: 28
  1935. [1:10 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: A barrier is set. For now, nothing feel different...
  1936. [1:11 AM] Dederie: With a ''bluh!'', he spills some liquid back on his chest, before letting loose a snicker.
  1937. [1:11 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Alicia, you... Hear a voice. A voice, from the magic circle. The eye seems to dim, and the essence of the magical circle flows into you.
  1938. [1:11 AM] Dederie: ''Hey, John? Where'd they teach you to aim?''
  1939. [1:11 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: The voice asks, in an ancient language you somehow understood... "What is it that you Wish?"
  1940. [1:11 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Answer.... Carefully.
  1941. [1:12 AM] Runic: (Pretty good Mizu :happypopo: )
  1942. [1:12 AM] Bot Fodder: (Hmm... maybe include evil outsiders (except Tot)?)
  1943. [1:12 AM] Mizuki: (w-what does it mean?)
  1944. [1:12 AM] Bot Fodder: (Since Orcus is a demon.)
  1945. [1:12 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (As a bonus for activating the Ritual and using the pent up energy, you receive a Wish spell as a benefit, which you must resolve immediately.)
  1946. [1:13 AM] Bot Fodder: (Oh, actually, you did include that, my bad.)
  1947. [1:13 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (You are unable to use it for imitating a 8th or lower level spell, unlike normal. Good luck!)
  1948. [1:13 AM] Mizuki: (I-I can wish for anything?)
  1949.  
  1950. [1:13 AM] Bot Fodder: (Forgot 'fiend' applied broadly.)
  1951. [1:13 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Yes. Anything.)
  1952. [1:13 AM] Runic: Lexon can only feel bewildered with Razmik's response to the mead he handed him... its even the very light kind. "Not feeling 100% Razmik?"
  1953. [1:13 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Annnnythinnnnng.)
  1954. [1:13 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: ( :smugpopo: )
  1955. [1:14 AM] Bot Fodder: (Edward Elric cough)
  1956. [1:14 AM] Mizuki: (what if I wish for my entire party to be immortal until the end of the nightmare or something?)
  1957. [1:14 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (You'll probably get it.)
  1958. [1:14 AM] Mizuki: (fuck Koga, I need time to think :sadpopo:)
  1959. [1:14 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (I'll ket Kap shout at you as I go to washroom.)
  1960. [1:14 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: You have 10 IRL minutes, starting now.
  1961. [1:14 AM] Bot Fodder: (Pls.)
  1962. [1:14 AM] Dederie: (Holy shit.)
  1963. [1:14 AM] Mizuki: (TASUKETE EVERYONE)
  1964. [1:14 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Make that 16
  1965. [1:14 AM] Runic: (Oh god, what to wish for)
  1966. [1:14 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: That's your Int score.
  1967. [1:15 AM] Dederie: (>that's your INT score
  1968. AHAHAAHAHAHA)
  1969. [1:15 AM] Mizuki: (w-what?)
  1970. [1:15 AM] Bot Fodder: (Well, firstly, there's one side rule: When you use Wish to do something that is NOT a spell effect, there's a chance you'll never be able to use Wish for that again.)
  1971. [1:15 AM] Mizuki: (LOBBY FOR OOC DISCUSSION)
  1972.  
  1973. [1:34 AM] Mizuki: Alicia heard of wishes such as this one before. Djins are foul creatures that will try to use the wish's wording against the person wishing. She must word it all carefully.
  1974. [1:34 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: It is time.
  1975.  
  1976.  
  1977. [1:38 AM] Dederie: (Mizu, are you nervous?)
  1978. [1:40 AM] Mizuki: (very)
  1979. [1:40 AM] Bot Fodder: (Djinns aren't so bad! Relatively.)
  1980. [1:40 AM] Dederie: (Eefrits are assholes in Crawl)
  1981. [1:40 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (They are all assholes at the end of the day ok.jpg)
  1982. [1:41 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Believe in Sanae and all will be ok)
  1983.  
  1984. [1:41 AM] Dedzuki: (Koga, please be merciful)
  1985. [1:41 AM] Bot Fodder: (DONATE.)
  1986. [1:41 AM] Dedzuki: "I... I wish that all my old friends and Raz were alive, like the things that led to their deaths never happened. I don't want this wish to send me back in time, or change the current flow of time in any way." - Alicia concluded. She knew it was unnatural, but that... was her wish.
  1987. [1:41 AM] Faerie: (Miracles into exterminatus?)
  1988. [1:41 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: ...
  1989. [1:41 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "As you Wish..."
  1990. [1:42 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Time stands still for a moment, a split second, as if nothing happened.
  1991. [1:42 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Then, time walks once again.
  1992. [1:42 AM] Faerie: (''We cannot grant this wish, for they are all alive, inside of YOOOOOOOOU'')
  1993. [1:42 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: For a moment, it's as if nothing happened.
  1994.  
  1995. [1:42 AM] Runic: (What a shitty genie if that was a the case)(edited)
  1996. [1:42 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Then, something... Feels a little wrong.
  1997. [1:42 AM] Bot Fodder: ("The Pirate Captain's real treasure was friendship!")
  1998. [1:42 AM] Mizuki: (oh my god)
  1999. [1:42 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Before you... The scythe reanimates.
  2000. [1:43 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: The form of a ghost... Flows back together.
  2001. [1:43 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Grips.
  2002. [1:43 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: .... On the side, a Ballista reloads.
  2003. [1:43 AM] Dederie: (Oh my fucking god.)
  2004. [1:43 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Somewhere off in a tower, there's a painful cry...
  2005. [1:43 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d20+2
  2006. [1:43 AM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+2]: 15, Result: 17
  2007. [1:44 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Someone seems to have resisted something.
  2008. [1:44 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Recelle DID die, back somewhen.)
  2009. [1:44 AM] Bot Fodder: (W-wow, you wished to undo past events?)
  2010. [1:44 AM] Dederie: ((RECELLEEEEE WHAT))
  2011. [1:44 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Your memory feels fuzzy, Alicia.
  2012. [1:44 AM] Bot Fodder: (Oh, that's good.)
  2013. [1:44 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: You feel as if you Forgot something Important....
  2014. [1:44 AM] Mizuki: (KOGA NOOOOOOOO)
  2015. [1:44 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: But there's something more important right now. There's an undead.
  2016. [1:45 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Its raising its scythe, looking at you. And... Chanting.
  2017. [1:45 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: It writhe in pain, however, as it tries to move.
  2018. [1:45 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d20
  2019. [1:45 AM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20]: 6, Result: 6
  2020. [1:45 AM] Bot Fodder: (run.)
  2021. [1:45 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... After a second, it's propelled away, howling in rage.
  2022. [1:45 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... Belaghuf... Will never forgive you...!"
  2023. [1:46 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: You lose your old Bonds with your former Mercenary friends, Alicia, and you are unable to recall most of them.
  2024. [1:46 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Perhaps you were never as close with them as you thought?
  2025. [1:46 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Or perhaps there's a curse upon you. You just can't ... Seem to remember.
  2026. [1:46 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: In fact, where are you?
  2027. [1:46 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: You don't... Recall anyone. Or anything.
  2028. [1:47 AM] Runic: (OH FUG)
  2029. [1:47 AM] Mizuki: ([panic])
  2030. [1:47 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Alicia, you suffer Amnesia, as you, the person in all your dead friend's life... is removed from their life.
  2031. [1:47 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: If they have never met you... Perhaps they wouldn't have died as your friends.
  2032. [1:48 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: The only thing that remains with you, is a concerned-looking feline.
  2033. [1:48 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... Master?"
  2034. [1:48 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: A unfamiliar voice asks.
  2035. [1:48 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: ...
  2036. [1:48 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Everyone gains 2000 XP.
  2037. [1:48 AM] Dederie: (Holy fucking shit.)
  2038. NEW MESSAGES
  2039. [1:48 AM] Mizuki: "... What?" - She asked - "Where... where am I?"
  2040. [1:48 AM] Bot Fodder: (Sidequest received | New quicktravel destination added to dream hub: Alicia's Shattered Memory)
  2041.  
  2042. [1:49 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: ( kek )
  2043. [1:49 AM] Mizuki: (so Alicia is the one who died in the end :cryingkepa:)
  2044. [1:49 AM] Dederie: (MAN)
  2045. [1:49 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: The good news.
  2046. [1:49 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Recelle made her save.
  2047. [1:49 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Razmik was already alive, so he dodged the save.
  2048. [1:49 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: So those two remembers you.
  2049. [1:50 AM] Bot Fodder: (And Recelle would've died normally, right?)
  2050. [1:50 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: The bad news. You gain a new flaw, "I can't remember..."
  2051. [1:50 AM] Mizuki: (do I remember them?)
  2052. [1:50 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: You are unable to recall people around you until you recover. You are able to reforge friendship, but never to replace what you had lost.
  2053. [1:50 AM] Bot Fodder: (Good question! Does she still remember the current party? I suppose she met us all in this world.)
  2054. [1:50 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Azura, as bound by contract and able to telepathically communicate with you, is able to fill in the basics.
  2055. [1:51 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Whether you trust a cat that can talk to your head is another matter. At least, there's a contract binding you two.
  2056. [1:51 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: You haven't lost any other important things, but whenever you look at a gun, for example, you might be hit with an odd sense of loss. As if SOMEONE taught you something.
  2057. [1:51 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: You remember that something, but not the face. Never the face...
  2058. [1:52 AM] Bot Fodder: (What is Alicia like with her past trauma erased, I wonder?)
  2059. [1:52 AM] Mizuki: (do I still know how to use it?)
  2060. [1:52 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (TIME FOR ROLEPLAY)
  2061. [1:52 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: You do, Alicia. None of your skills or character statstics are affected.
  2062. [1:52 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: You merely lost all friendship, on your end.
  2063. [1:52 AM] Mizuki: (oh my god, that was the ultimate monkey paw)
  2064. [1:52 AM] Mizuki: (Koga is mean)
  2065. [1:52 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (The altnernative is an army of dead coming back "alive" around you)
  2066. [1:53 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (That would've killed you :^) )
  2067.  
  2068. [1:53 AM] Dederie: (It's fine, you can build back bridges!)
  2069. [1:53 AM] Mizuki: (so I don't remember Raz as well?)
  2070. [1:53 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Nope!)
  2071. [1:54 AM] Mizuki: (do I remember my roots?)
  2072. [1:54 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Azura reminds you who those people around you are. But they are... people.)
  2073. [1:54 AM] Dederie: (But she KNOWS that she doesn't KNOW, right?)
  2074. [1:54 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: You remember anything that aren't your friends.
  2075. [1:54 AM] Mizuki: (old village, entered wizards school)
  2076. [1:54 AM] Bot Fodder: (I-I was serious about the Shattered Memory thing! It's not impossible to set things right again, maybe.)
  2077. [1:54 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Anyone you disliked, anyone you hated... Any positive you remember are forgotten, only negative remain. Say you had a childhood friend that you are rival with.
  2078. [1:54 AM] Dederie: (Man, this is heavy.)
  2079. [1:54 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: That's just a rival now.
  2080. [1:54 AM] Bot Fodder: (Perhaps you could devise the scenario yourself.)
  2081. [1:55 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: You know, keenly, that you forgot something important.
  2082. [1:55 AM] Mizuki: (a-alright)
  2083. [1:55 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: And that is what you'll have to work with, Alicia.
  2084. [1:55 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Good luck.
