  1. [6:15 PM] Eon: Having done what Hastur asked of them, the heroes contacted The King In Yellow through Elerith.
  2.  
  3. The king offered them a 'wish' each, and after several.. mishaps, notably of which involved a garland, they were returned to Orixia.
  4.  
  5. The Wight Wind had ended, as wished for, but the Nightmare had not. Which left the giant eldritch moon in the sky as a prime suspect. After moving in near it to get a better look and a failed Arcane Eye attempt, we left our heroes delibrating their next course of action.
  6. [6:16 PM] Eon: Oh, there was also a Dark Young, an goat abberation, which voices that be kept urging our heroes to partake in. Thankfully, the heroes still have enough of their sanity to know better.
  7. [6:17 PM] Bot Fodder: John explains his idea to the party: there must be others who have realized the coming apocalypse. Divination spells backfire, and some mages must have been monitoring the moon to begin with. "I mean, someone put that giant mirror up there, right?"
  8. [6:18 PM] Bot Fodder: "Getting rid of the Wight Wind didn't work, which means its up to us. But we're not the only ones affected by this..."
  9.  
  10. [6:20 PM] Eon: "Sound logic, though, who exactly were the archmages that helped put the 'mirror' there in the first place? And more importantly, where are they?"
  11. [6:20 PM] Eon: Time was of the essence, as usual.
  12. [6:20 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: There's one person to ask...
  13. [6:20 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d20
  14. [6:20 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20]: 2, Result: 2
  15. [6:20 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Dicebot is kinda slow, imma restart it)
  16. [6:20 PM] Bot Fodder: "Probably? All over. I'm no wizard, but it doesn't really seem like a one-person job." John shrugs.
  17. [6:21 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (k)
  18. [6:21 PM] Eon: Esker glances at the more.. magically inclined natives.
  19. [6:21 PM] Bot Fodder: "Also... uh, how do you druids talk to each other?"
  20.  
  21. [6:21 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Nirvain nods.
  22. [6:21 PM] Eon: "Like how we're talking now, what, did you think we spoke Druidic?"
  23. [6:22 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "It's a combination of mages performing the ritual, but that was over a thousand years ago." Nirvain muses.
  24. [6:22 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... if any of the mages are still around, they wouldn't be very... alive." Nirvain finishes.
  25. [6:22 PM] Eon: It may or may not be because she wasn't actually very good at Druidic herself..
  26. [6:22 PM] Eon: "Bah, at best they would be liches."
  27. [6:23 PM] Bot Fodder: "Are there guilds or academies around?" John asks.
  28. [6:23 PM] Eon: Well then, that plan is about as dead as the archmages themselves.
  29. [6:24 PM] Eon: Though the bigger question is if people just decided to ignore the eldritch moon in the sky after they set up the mirror spell. Was there really no one that was actively trying to stop it?
  30. [6:24 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Guilds or academies..." Nirvain thinks about it for a bit.
  31. [6:25 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... There... Was one nearby, until very recently." Nirvain shows an uneasy smile.
  32. [6:25 PM] Eon: "Very.. recently?" How foreboding.(edited)
  33. [6:26 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Otherwise, you'd be looking at some other further away options, none of which are very... Good, at what they do, anymore. Orixia is the land of challenges and changes, the southerns, as Augus put it, are grass-grazing sheeps that seeks complacency, and it shows in arcane talents over generations... So."
  34. [6:26 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Yes, very recently." Nirvain points daintly toward the former locale of the vampire's black ice spiral tower.
  35. [6:27 PM] Eon: ...
  36. [6:27 PM] Eon: Esker rubs her temples.
  37. [6:27 PM] Bot Fodder: John frowns. "You can't conclude that without meeting all of them, right?"
  38. [6:27 PM] Eon: "You think they'll be anything useful left in there, then?"
  39. [6:27 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Nirvain shrugs, "Well, we can try, either way."
  40. [6:27 PM] Eon: She doubt their books or baubles would combust in sunlight, at least.
  41. [6:28 PM] Eon: "We can't, but we might not have the luxury of the time.." Might, pff.
  42.  
  43. [6:29 PM] Bot Fodder: John pauses for a moment. "Uh, wait. Where did all you guys learn magic?" The layman makes little distinction between warlocks and wizards...
  44. [6:29 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Shadow plays with Tot a bit, petting and scratching the demon cat's stomach.
  45. [6:29 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Nirvain points to Fel, whose quietly hovering behind her.
  46. [6:29 PM] Mizuki: "Wait, Nirvain." - Alicia interrupted. - "Are you saying we killed the last person alive that tried something?"
  47. [6:29 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Fel quietly shuffles a little.
  48. [6:29 PM] Eon: Esker glances off in the distance
  49. [6:29 PM] Eon: "Well, a friend." Esker nods.
  50. [6:29 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Something?" Nirvain blinks.
  51. [6:30 PM] Eon: "To be fair, they were vampires and undead, they weren't.. alive, per se? Probably."
  52. [6:30 PM] Mizuki: "Regarding the moon." - She said
  53. [6:30 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "And I wouldn't exactly call a vampire more alive than liches." Nirvain quickly points out. "But vampirism is a popular method for many of the scholars. I am sure there's a number of them dwelling by themselves in other less hospitable locale."
  54. [6:30 PM] Eon: That said, Esker will once again ask if anyone thought that there would be anything useful left in the tower of melting black ice.(edited)
  55. [6:31 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "There... Hm."
  56. [6:31 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d20
  57. [6:31 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20]: 1, Result: 1
  58. [6:31 PM] Eon: (well then.)
  59. [6:31 PM] Runic: (couple of low rolls man)
  60. [6:31 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ".. I have nothing." Nirvain sighs. This isn't her area of speciality.
  61. [6:31 PM] Mizuki: (Alicia wishes to emphasise the fact that alive was in italic)
  62. [6:31 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Shadow raises his hand - and raising Tot as an aside.(edited)
  63. [6:32 PM] Eon: Esker shrugs. It was still half a lead, which is more than no lead, which is good enough for her!
  64. [6:32 PM] Mizuki: "Maybe looking into that tower is worth a try then, we have nothing else to go by." - The girl suggested.
  65. [6:32 PM] Eon: (Koga, how does Elemental Bane work with Slyphstick's super button?)
  66. [6:32 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Hey, fam, I got an idea - if it's information, why don't you pay the thieves' guild for it? If you want information, that's the fastest way, right?" Shadow says, as a bonafide member of another guild.
  67. [6:32 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (lolidk)
  68. [6:33 PM] Eon: "Nothing short of a Divination." Esker nods. She wonders if Mielikki was annoyed at how often she asked questions..
  69. [6:33 PM] Mizuki: (also, just to confirm)
  70. [6:33 PM] Eon: Esker raises an eyebrow.
  71. [6:33 PM] Mizuki: (we got a long rest right?)
  72. [6:33 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Recelle nods. "Well, I guess... I'll drive us closer."
  73. [6:33 PM] Eon: "You think the Thieves' Guild would really have information on this sort of thing?"
  74. [6:34 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Recelle motions, and the tower slowly hovers toward the remnent of the vampire's black spiral tower.
  75. [6:34 PM] Eon: (how would you rule it, anyway? Do I get the +4 deeps?)
  76. [6:34 PM] Runic: Fading into the dreamworld once again just a while ago. Lexon casually reveals his presence by speaking up.
  77. "Sounds like a good idea, hopefully they won't charge us a bunch of money like those space guys..."
  78. [6:34 PM] Runic: "If they have the info that is"
  79. [6:34 PM] Eon: (because that affects spell list choice)
  80. [6:34 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (No, since it's in addition to the original damage)
  81. [6:34 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (The spell, elemental bane, by itself doesn't do the damage)
  82. [6:34 PM] Mizuki: "I don't think the thieves guild would have the information for this kind of thing." - Alicia said. - "Doesn't seem like the kind of thing that would concern them."
  83. [6:35 PM] Eon: (o7)
  84. [6:35 PM] Eon: "Anything that makes money is concern to a thieves guild.." Esker muses.
  85. [6:35 PM] Mizuki: "And do we even know where to find those guys?" - She shaked her head.
  86. [6:35 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Shadow shrugs. "I guess not?"
  87. [6:35 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... Uh."
  88. [6:35 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Shadow looks away for a moment.
  89. [6:35 PM] Eon: Esker glances away.
  90. [6:35 PM] Eon: (Criminal Contact meme?)
  91.  
  92. [6:36 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Yeah.)
  93. [6:36 PM] Eon: (Esker has it too :smugpopo: )
  94. [6:36 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (If you have crimincal contact, you've managed to make friends during your short stays in Shadowvale)
  95. [6:36 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Doubious, doubious friends)
  96. [6:36 PM] Faerie: You-know-Who also appears alongside Lexon, disoriented from the shift in landscape. Razmik drowns a gasp in surprise. ''Ah, all you seem busy today! What did I miss?''
  97.  
  98. [6:36 PM] Mizuki: "I vote for the vampire tower, that's our best bet."(edited)
  99. [6:37 PM] Eon: Esker points to the approaching tower of black ice. Or well, the tower of black ice they were approaching.
  100. [6:37 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Yo, fam." Shadow raises a hand. Nirvain doesn't seem to register Razmik just appearing out of nowhere, but instead treating him as he was always here.
  101. [6:37 PM] Eon: "Agreed, that seems the most likely place we'll find something."
  102. [6:37 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It's less than a tower and more of a frozen stump of oozing black liquid.
  103. [6:37 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The area is laiden with ashes.
  104. [6:37 PM] Eon: ... That, and reaching for friends in dubious places is a bit awkward in front of her primary friends.(edited)
  105. [6:38 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The ashen dust covers a good few hundred feet in radius, being carried away by the wind.
  106. [6:38 PM] Eon: "... Miliekki, how many of them were there?"
  107. [6:38 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: A roaring inferno burns, eating away at the black ice.
  108. [6:38 PM] Faerie: Razmik'll ask what, exactly, they were trying to find dirt on about. Razmik takes out a jagged mirror and stares into it for a moment, before attempting to bewild Shadow with some manner of weird handshake
  109. [6:38 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: A few dead animals - large beasts like cows, horses, and other herbivores - lies dead.
  110. [6:39 PM] Eon: (koga, turbo meme coming through, I took Conjure Animemes)
  111. [6:39 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: A number of what appears to be thin, black hounds oozing icy steam from their mouth are munching on the dead beasts.
  112. [6:39 PM] Eon: No regular beast, were they?
  113. [6:39 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: One of them looks up at the mage tower... And goes back to eating their fill.
  114. [6:40 PM] Faerie: ''...At any rate, this is curious. This place...''
  115. [6:40 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Shadow stares at Razmik... And attempts to return the weird handshakes.
  116. [6:40 PM] Mizuki: Alicia narrows her eyes. Those beasts...
  117. [6:40 PM] Eon: "Be wary, the black ice was incredibly poisonous the last time we saw it."
  118. [6:40 PM] Mizuki: (can I roll arcana to see what they are? Or maybe nature?)
  119. [6:40 PM] Faerie: Razmik'll save the mirror for later, opting against asking something dumb like 'what was this keep used for''.
  120. [6:40 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Sure, Arcana.
  121. [6:40 PM] Eon: ... Not that she herself had any reason to fear of poison, anymore.
  122. [6:40 PM] Mizuki: roll 1d20+9
  123. [6:40 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+9]: 9, Result: 18
  124. [6:41 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Hellhounds, Alicia.
  125. [6:41 PM] Faerie: roll 1d20-1 likewise
  126. [6:41 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20-1]: 3, Result: 2
  127. [6:41 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Those are Agathys variants, adapted to the harsh, cold climate of the icy prison instead.
  128. [6:41 PM] Faerie: (''Whoa, puppies!'')
  129. [6:41 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: From the look on them - collars and chains - they would be the vampire's pet hounds.
  130. [6:42 PM] Eon: "Hmm, this is all very curious, though.. Why does the black ice from Agathys show up here, as well, in Orixia?"
  131. [6:42 PM] Eon: It wasn't like Agathys and Orixia were right next to each other.
  132.  
  133. [6:42 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Nirvain nods, "About that..."
  134. [6:42 PM] Mizuki: "Hellhounds." - Said the wizard. - "An Agathys variant, apparently. Probably the dead vampire's pets."(edited)
  135. [6:42 PM] Faerie: (How many hellhounds or so?)
  136. [6:42 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (around 20)
  137. [6:43 PM] Eon: "I don't imagine they're up for cuddling, then?"
  138. [6:43 PM] Eon: Does Esker know they are notactuallyBeasts?(edited)
  139. [6:43 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "The Wight Wind has long since carried an element of corruption, and the storm it brings rain black snow and hail." Nirvain says, "We always thought it was some sort of demonic corruption..."
  140. [6:43 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: They are very unlikely to be Beasts.
  141. [6:44 PM] Bot Fodder: (I would hope the "Hell" would be a giveaway.)
  142. [6:44 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: But they might be suspectable to abilities that affect beasts in some ways.
  143. [6:44 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Including animal handling.
  144.  
  145. [6:44 PM] Eon: (hey hey, bloodhounds aren't made of blood)
  146. [6:44 PM] Eon: Esker.. ritual casts Speak with Animals.
  147. [6:44 PM] Mizuki: "I wouldn't count on that, Esker." - She answered with a smile.
  148. [6:44 PM] Bot Fodder: (Hellhounds aren't made of hell either, nor do blacksmiths smith black :smugpopo: )
  149. [6:45 PM] Eon: (if only golden retrievers actually retrieved gold..)(edited)
  150. [6:45 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Well, we can land and... Do you want to talk with them or something?" Recelle asks, a bit surprised.
  151. [6:45 PM] Bot Fodder: (Kek)
  152. [6:45 PM] Faerie: ''Ahh.'' Razmik had actually never heard of them, in stories or in passing or otherwise. ''Are they true to name, I presume? More importantly'', the devout of Lathander, the smiter, ask: ''Do we stand to lose anything by leaving them be? We can't go down with them there, at any rate.''
  153. [6:45 PM] Eon: "There's always.. the goodberries.."
  154. [6:45 PM] Eon: Esker mumbles as she prepares.
  155. [6:45 PM] Faerie: Razmik huffs, lifting his holy symbol to the sun.
  156. [6:46 PM] Eon: Goodberries make the world go round, she swears.
  157. [6:46 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Your holy symbol catches the sun brilliantly.
  158.  
  159. [6:46 PM] Eon: Esker with note that they could just.. use the Spelljammer's weapons again.
  160. [6:46 PM] Eon: ... Which might be a tad overkill.
  161. [6:46 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: As you discuss, the tower crumbles a bit,
  162. [6:46 PM] Faerie: Those rays, he quite missed them in the realm of Nightmare. Taking a deep breath, Razmik probes further. ''...Who feels like doing Orixia another favor?''
  163. [6:46 PM] Runic: "I really don't think those things will like berries much..." Lexon comments
  164. [6:47 PM] Bot Fodder: Actually... how are the repairs coming along on the ship? John glances around.
  165. [6:47 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: and a number of zombies stumble out into the open.
  166. [6:47 PM] Eon: Wait, which tower?
  167. [6:47 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Upon seeing the hellhounds, they roar, and charge.
  168. [6:47 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The hellhounds drop their food, and starts dispatching the zombies who have turned on them.
  169. [6:47 PM] Mizuki: Alicia readies herself as well, strapping the shield Raz gave her. She stares at the symbol of Lathander on it. It was not like her to carry symbols of deities around, she wonders if Raz would get mad if she just painted something on top of it later.
  170. [6:47 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Repair's about ... 1/3 , to 1/2.
  171.  
  172. [6:48 PM] Eon: How many zombies are there or so?(edited)
  173. [6:48 PM] Bot Fodder: "This must be what it's like when a zoo gets wrecked," John theorizes absentmindedly.
  174. [6:48 PM] Faerie: He more than likely wouldn't, but slapping paint on a metal shield sounds like... well, it'd look weird. The holy symbol had been engraved with gemstones, after all.
  175. [6:48 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The hellhound breaths down on the zombies, before chomping them apart. A few of the alphas takes a look at the tower, as if feeling uneasy. Whimpering and putting their tail between their legs, they quickly limp away...
  176. [6:49 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 2d6
  177. [6:49 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [2d6]: 4,3, Result: 7
  178. [6:49 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: There was around 30 or so - but the number's drastically reduced by the hellhounds, who have little trouble dispatching the lesser, feral undead.
  179. [6:49 PM] Eon: (just give me the go ahead when the ritual is donezo)
  180. [6:50 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: A few of the hellhounds are stuck on combat frenzy, while others are relocating.
  181. [6:50 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: That said, hellhounds and winter wolves are a part of Orixia's natural environment, these days. Perhaps hellhound will one day go extinct here, or crossbreed with wolves?
  182. [6:51 PM] Mizuki: (oh SHIT)
  183. [6:51 PM] Mizuki: (I forgot to record my two new spells)
  184.  
  185. [6:51 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ( wew )
  186. [6:51 PM] Mizuki: (I'll do it after this session, I guess :sadpopo:)
  187. [6:51 PM] Runic: (hellwolves sound pretty cool)
  188. [6:51 PM] Eon: (Colour Spray and Chromatic Orb go)
  189. [6:51 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (It's fine, go ahead Mizu)
  190. [6:52 PM] Eon: (Greater Invis seems good)
  191. [6:52 PM] Faerie: As for the ritual, Razmik expresses his concern as he stands behind Esker, trying not to disturb her work. ''A fiend is a fiend, animal or not. Maybe you can get something useful out of them, but I wouldn't count on it. Good place to start, though.'' If a bit unsavory.
  192. [6:52 PM] Eon: (But there's a lot of good stuffs)
  193. [6:52 PM] Mizuki: (well, I still need to think about what I'm picking)
  194. [6:52 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Tot glances at Razmik from atop Shadow, yawning lazily.
  195. [6:52 PM] Mizuki: (I'll think about it during combat, lets kill those dudes)
  196. [6:52 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... He rolls around, and plops down on Shadow's shoulder.
  197. [6:52 PM] Faerie: (Why not pick a buff or something that needs concentration? You don't have a lot to concentrate on besides Flaming Sphere, from what I remember)
  198. [6:52 PM] Eon: Esker understands where Razmik is coming from, and she doesn't quite care whether they live or die, but..
  199. [6:53 PM] Eon: Hey, it'll take them time and resources.
  200. [6:53 PM] Faerie: Tot wasn't an animal, he was an imp! Cat. Thing.
  201. [6:53 PM] Faerie: Wait, would that mate Doomwing a half-fiend or somesuch? The notion seems a bit silly, to Razmik.
  202. [6:55 PM] Bot Fodder: Hell hounds might go extinct now that the Wight Wind is gone. But not before the rest of the world does, unless that moon-monster is stopped. John readies his spear and looks at the others, waiting for a signal.
  203. [6:55 PM] Eon: Esker continues.. whatever ritual casting looks like.
  204. [6:56 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Your ritual completes effortlessly, Esker, after the amount of time.
  205. [6:56 PM] Eon: "Alright. Lets go say hello."
  206. [6:56 PM] Runic: Lexon takes a swig of ale, awaiting the results of Esker's plan, ready if it goes sour
  207.  
  208. [6:56 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Recelle nods.. "So, want me to land?"
  209. [6:56 PM] Faerie: Razmik waits by the corner, maybe a bit eager to- yes, indeed, he smiles to himself despite the place they've found themselves in. That burning eagerness, possibly the product of seeing Orixia come a step closer to how things are supposed to be.
  210. [6:57 PM] Eon: Her voice might be a little sharper than usual, a little more snarly and growly, but its still her!
  211. [6:57 PM] Eon: "Yes please."
  212. [6:57 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Ejecting isn't very safe without spell aids, unless... You deliver via wyverns and Yss 3 at a time.
  213. [6:57 PM] Eon: :thinking:
  214. [6:58 PM] Eon: Probably is fine to just directly land, Esker thinks.
  215. [6:58 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Nodding, Recelle uses Reverse Gravity on the tower, lowering the impact it would have from crashing into the ground. It lands, light as a feather.
  216. [6:58 PM] Mizuki: (Getting normal invisibility and polymorph)
  217. [6:58 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (wew)
  218. [6:58 PM] Eon: (I already have poly)
  219. [6:58 PM] Faerie: ''Maybe someone should stay behind to synch with the Sword's main weapon interface'', he suggests. ''We are on a clock, so I welcome anything that'd help us save time.''
  220. [6:58 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (more the merrier)
  221. [6:58 PM] Mizuki: (seems TANOSHII)
  222. [6:58 PM] Eon: (double trex on john and raz)
  223.  
  224. [6:58 PM] Eon: (lets goooo)
  225. [6:58 PM] Faerie: (Damn, son, Mizu's getting good spells)
  226. [6:59 PM] Eon: (... what level did you say Shadow and Recelle were?)
  227. [6:59 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Shadow nods. "I'll stay behind with Recelle?"
  228. [6:59 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (10)
  229. [6:59 PM] Faerie: (10 each, more or less)
  230. [6:59 PM] Eon: (how does Shadow want to be a Trex of Light and Darkness?)
  231. [7:00 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Nirvain looks at Fel. "Hey, you probably need fiend translators." She expresses, "I'll head down with you."
  232. [7:00 PM] Bot Fodder: The tower's weapons, on those? Seems like overkill to John, but he can't argue with Razmik's logic.
  233. [7:00 PM] Faerie: Trusting Shadow with the Sword... sure? It's not like he hasn't done worse before, Razmik tells himself.
  234. [7:00 PM] Eon: (we'll tell him he has one wing, but its not like he can cran his head to look)
  235.  
  236. [7:00 PM] Eon: Esker nods. Sending Stone was still with Recelle.
  237. [7:00 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Polymorph actually doesn't end spell effects otherwise on the target)
  238. [7:00 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (So you can literally... polymorph Shadow while he has AoA on)
  239. [7:00 PM] Eon: (Mizu..)
  240. [7:00 PM] Faerie: (TREX OF GOFAST)
  241. [7:00 PM] Eon: (Hasted Trex)
  242. [7:00 PM] Eon: (we need to do it)
  243. [7:00 PM] Faerie: (Or that, 50 THP LMAO)
  244. [7:00 PM] Mizuki: (prepared spells)
  245. [7:01 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Sparkling trex with wispy angelic wings which can fly and is hasted)
  246. [7:01 PM] Mizuki: (sorry Koga, it's all done now)
  247. [7:01 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (And wielding twin blades in its short stubby arms)
  248. [7:01 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ("I figure it would be useful.jpg")
  249. [7:01 PM] Eon: Esker will lead the way, anyhow, handful of goodberries in her.. well, hand.
  250. [7:01 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: As the tower lands,
  251. [7:01 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d20
  252. [7:01 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20]: 9, Result: 9
  253. [7:01 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ...
  254. [7:02 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Most of the hellhounds seems spooked as the tower advanced toward them
  255. [7:02 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: And most of those fled.
  256. [7:02 PM] Eon: (are we like aliens that step out of the spaceship)
  257. [7:02 PM] Eon: (in those crappy movies)
  258. [7:02 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The remaining ones - 2 or 3 of them - are fat and lazy, fed with cattle and horses.
  259. [7:02 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: They gaze up, and hiccups, letting out a small burst of icy mist.
  260. [7:02 PM] Eon: "... This wasn't quite what I was expecting." Esker mutters.
  261. [7:02 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: They don't seem to have any will to fight.
  262. [7:03 PM] Faerie: As our friends prepare after the descent, Razmik once more brandishes his holy symbol, a miniature metallic sun with a gem encrusted in the middle, put there as to make catching the sun easier.
  263. [7:03 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Gazing at the holy symbol, they put their tail between their legs, and cowers.
  264. [7:03 PM] Eon: "Hey." Esker calls out.
  265. [7:03 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "...?" One of them looks up, wagging its tail.
  266. [7:04 PM] Eon: "Right, got any idea what we can expect in.. there?" She points to the stump of melting black ice.
  267. [7:04 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Years of selective breeding for obdience, and the vampire's pampering has caused the once ferocious warrior jailer hounds of Agathys into... Large pets.
  268. [7:04 PM] Eon: ... She had to admit, these were kind of adorable.
  269. [7:04 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It tilts its twin heads.
  270. [7:04 PM] Faerie: Memorizing, engraving the words and gestures into his mind, Razmik musters the strength to rebuke such despoilment of unholy remains.
  271. [7:04 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Arf?" It cries out softly, understanding your question, and thinks about it.
  272. [7:05 PM] Faerie: [Ready: Turn the Unholy] in case of hostilities towards Esker or any other friends Razmik can see.
  273. [7:05 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The hellhound communicates that the cellars are the vampire's storage, holding cells, and the like.
  274. [7:05 PM] Bot Fodder: John wonders if they'll end up with more animals on the ship...
  275. [7:05 PM] Eon: Esker glances at Razmik.
  276. [7:05 PM] Eon: ... Starry-eyed.
  277. [7:05 PM] Eon: "Do we really have to?" She whispers to the paladin.
  278. [7:05 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: This particular hellhound doesn't really know, since his job is primarily just to sit in front of a fireplace to act as a footrest.
  279. [7:06 PM] Eon: "... Well then." Esker lobs a goodberry towards it.
  280. [7:06 PM] Eon: "Thank you, anyone else know anything?" She calls out to the other 1 or 2.
  281. [7:06 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... It sniffs the berry, and barks softly, asking if you have meat instead... Not that it can eat anymore.
  282. [7:06 PM] Faerie: Eyes closed and in wait of the sound of bellicosity, Razmik answers: ''That'll be up to them. I've got your back, good luck.''
  283. [7:06 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: it eats the berry anyways, and slump lazily back onto the ice.
  284. [7:07 PM] Eon: Esker considers reaching out for Tot, but that might be too crude a joke.
  285. [7:07 PM] Mizuki: Alicia relaxes. - "I don't think those guys are any danger to the people of Orixia, Raz."
  286. [7:07 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The other 2 waddles over, sniffing the ice for you.
  287. [7:07 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Those particular ones that are too lazy and dumb, uh.. The natives will likely eat them if they find them, instead.
  288. [7:07 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: They'll get natural selection'd :sadpopo:
  289. [7:07 PM] Eon: Poor things..
  290. [7:08 PM] Eon: Esker considers Awakening them, if they ever get the chance.
  291. [7:08 PM] Bot Fodder: (>sadpopoing at darwinism)
  292. [7:08 PM] Eon: And if they weren't too far removed from actual Beasts.
  293. [7:08 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: One of the hellhound, having it slightly more together, barks, and wags their tail.
  294. [7:08 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It seems to want to tell Esker something.
  295. [7:08 PM] Bot Fodder: (Esker confirmed for having her druid license revoked :smugpopo: )
  296. [7:08 PM] Eon: "What is it, boy?"
  297. [7:09 PM] Mizuki: (>assuming it's gender)
  298. [7:09 PM] Faerie: What Alicia brings up is yet to be seen, in Razmik eyes. ''My friend, you may be right, but your safety is as much of a concern in my eyes. We'll see.''
  299. [7:09 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It whimpers, and communicates that there are tunnels underneath that leads somewhere. The vampires have the tunnels sealed off normally.
  300. [7:09 PM] Faerie: Alicia was, as far as Razmik could tell, people as well!
  301. [7:09 PM] Eon: Danger in the tunnels, gotcha.
  302. [7:09 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: But their previous masters probably either all died or turned into mist and fled down there.
  303. [7:09 PM] Eon: ... A lot of danger.
  304. [7:09 PM] Mizuki: (Koga, question)
  305. [7:09 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... And then it goes back to sniffling its companion's butt.
  306. [7:09 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Sup)
  307. [7:10 PM] Mizuki: (when vampires die via sunlight, do they still turn to mist or is it insta kill?)
  308. [7:10 PM] Faerie: (Koga pls don't make them act like actual dogs)
  309. [7:10 PM] Eon: Esker will whisper to the rest to not mention the whole 'I wish the Wight Wind ended' part, if they meet any vampires.
  310.  
  311. [7:10 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Uhhh)
  312. [7:10 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Give me a religion check, Alicia.
  313. [7:10 PM] Mizuki: roll 1d20+5
  314. [7:10 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+5]: 8, Result: 13
  315. [7:11 PM] Faerie: (Can I roll as well? Vampires are KIND OF an important part of a paladin's diet)
  316. [7:11 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Go for it, Fae, with advantage.
  317. [7:11 PM] Faerie: (Or vice-versa I guess :sadpopo:)
  318. [7:11 PM] Bot Fodder: (Through Arcana, she might know they turn into dust that makes you invisible :smugpopo: )
  319. [7:11 PM] Faerie: roll 2d20
  320. [7:11 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [2d20]: 12,18, Result: 30
  321. [7:11 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Seems good.
  322. [7:11 PM] Faerie: 21 totes
  323. [7:11 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: A vampire cannot shift and become mist if it's exposed to the sun.
  324. [7:12 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Their natural regeneration, which gave the idea of regeneration, is ceased, and they burn brilliantly in the light.
  325. [7:12 PM] Eon: Esker will mention to the smar- less dumber hellhound that she might come back for it, and if it so desires, can live a goodberry filled life. And pets. Lots of pets.
  326. [7:12 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: By brilliantly, I mean "to the tune of 20 radiant damage" out of "144 hp"
  327. [7:12 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Without a route of escape, it takes around a minute for a vampire to be reduced to ash.
  328. [7:12 PM] Eon: (It's a shame the Daylight spell doesn't actually make sunlight..)
  329. [7:13 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It arfs lazily, wagging its tail.
  330. [7:13 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It prefers meat, but pettings are nice.
  331. [7:13 PM] Bot Fodder: They probably weren't expecting their tower to evaporate without warning, but it's possible some made it underground, John thinks.
  332. [7:13 PM] Faerie: ''Radiance seals their form'', Razmik will mention. ''As enemies of the sun, their treachery is repelled by true sunlight''
  333. [7:13 PM] Eon: (Koga, if I upcast Daylight to 5, will you let me make it sunlight :sadpopo: )
  334.  
  335. [7:14 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (No, why?)
  336. [7:14 PM] Eon: (aw.)
  337. [7:14 PM] Faerie: (I think not even the Paladin capstone generates sunlight)
  338. [7:14 PM] Eon: Anyhow, looks like they'll have to be careful, dealing with vampires.
  339. [7:14 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (There are other methods.)
  340. [7:14 PM] Eon: (I get Sunbeam.. next level.)
  341. [7:14 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Devious ones, but well)
  342. [7:14 PM] Eon: ...
  343. [7:15 PM] Mizuki: Alicia thinks. - "We should get that driftglobe of ours handy just in case."
  344. [7:15 PM] Faerie: (Like, some dude on /tg/ said that true sunlight didn't exist in 5e RAW, not even from the sun itself. It was a funny thread)
  345. [7:15 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (If you highroll, you can summon an eldritch sun while exposed to the moon)
  346. [7:15 PM] Eon: Esker will ask if the hellhound can point to the location of the tunnels below.
  347. [7:15 PM] Runic: Lexon takes out the drifglobe observing it
  348. [7:15 PM] Runic: "Does this thing even produce actual sunlight?"
  349. [7:15 PM] Eon: ... And point out that the Spelljammer can always, you know.
  350.  
  351. [7:15 PM] Eon: (it casts the Daylight spell, so no)
  352. [7:15 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The hellhound in question rolls over.
  353. [7:15 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ...
  354. [7:16 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: And then rolls back, nodding, and was merely confused for a moment.
  355. [7:16 PM] Faerie: Razmik's fighting spirit becomes somewhat more kindled, the drive to protect life wherever that may be weighing on his heart. ''Vampires, huh? Augus might want to see to this, if we go down.''
  356. [7:16 PM] Bot Fodder: (I understood that dog training reference.)
  357. [7:16 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Tot hisses at the hellhound slightly. "We don't need anymore cute animals on board."
  358. [7:16 PM] Runic: After musing a bit with his driftglobe, he puts it back in his bag and focuses his attention back to the conversation
  359. [7:16 PM] Mizuki: "It does right?" - Asked the girl. - "Not sure Lexon."
  360. [7:17 PM] Eon: "You don't count." She retorts flatly.
  361. [7:17 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "We have enough pets as is- I am not a pet!" Tot protests.
  362. [7:17 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "There, there, you are Doomwing, the destined one." Shadow pets Tot.
  363. [7:17 PM] Mizuki: She turns to Esker with a sarcastic smile. - "Maybe those divinations of you may be useful now."
  364. [7:17 PM] Faerie: Of course not, Esker counted for [number of times she could turn into a cat per day]
  365. [7:17 PM] Eon: "..."
  366. [7:17 PM] Mizuki: She pats her shoulder.
  367. [7:17 PM] Eon: "Do you really want to.."
  368.  
  369. [7:17 PM] Eon: Esker understood what she was getting at, but..(edited)
  370. [7:18 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (It would be hilarious if you summon a miniature sun of eldritch flame against the vampires)
  371. [7:18 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (but it would be more of against everyone and everything)
  372. [7:18 PM] Eon: (I know, which is the only reason I hesitated)
  373. [7:18 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ...
  374. [7:18 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d100
  375. [7:18 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d100]: 47, Result: 47
  376. [7:18 PM] Eon: Anyhow, they weren't going to make progress petting hellhounds.
  377. [7:18 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The hellhounds suddenly freeze, in fear.
  378. [7:18 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: They whimper, and shuffles behind Esker.
  379. [7:19 PM] Eon: ... Or something like that could happen.
  380. [7:19 PM] Eon: "Who, or what, goes there?"
  381. [7:19 PM] Eon: She conjures the Starbow.
  382. [7:19 PM] Mizuki: "It's a joke Esker, don't worry." - She said quickly, since apparently Esker was considering it to be a real idea.
  383. [7:19 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: One of them communicates something about... three-headed mean monsters.
  384. [7:19 PM] Eon: Three-headed.. what now? Esker asks for a few more details about its appearance
  385. [7:19 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Note that hellhounds are normally one-headed - the dumbest one is the only two-headed one here.
  386. [7:20 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It's too dumb to explain!
  387. [7:20 PM] Faerie: Razmik holds his reaction, as the-worst-case-scenario appears in his mind. Could it be that... but then, what would follow if...?
  388. [7:20 PM] Bot Fodder: (The vampires probably used divination spells too, you know :smugpopo: )
  389. [7:20 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You have 1 round to prepare!
  390. [7:20 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (brb washroom)
  391. [7:20 PM] Eon: ... Esker might be too used to Catsker being actually intelligent.
  392. [7:20 PM] Bot Fodder: (How else does one control things from a tower?)
  393. [7:21 PM] Eon: (Ok, do we Haste Polymorph someone into trex)
  394. [7:21 PM] Eon: (Runic, Trexs grapple with their bite attack :smugpopo: )
  395. [7:21 PM] Runic: (Lexon doesn't need Polymorph fool!)
  396. [7:21 PM] Mizuki: (can we even fit a fucking t-rex in that tunnel?)
  397. [7:21 PM] Eon: ... In that case, Esker will Conjure Elemental: Nul.(edited)
  398. [7:22 PM] Eon: And tosses it a goodberry.
  399. [7:22 PM] Eon: ... Bonus action Starbow, if that's needed.
  400. [7:22 PM] Runic: Lexon not knowing what the heck the three headed monster Esker is muttering about, decides to just casually keep drinking his ale
  401. [7:22 PM] Eon: "Err, something's coming."
  402. [7:23 PM] Eon: "Dunno what, but preparing is prudent."
  403. [7:23 PM] Faerie: Razmik staggers for a moment, before finally taking a step forward. He calls out for Interloper, and keeps his Ready.
  404. [7:23 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Nirvain gauges the situation a bit, "I'll ready to paralyze it, if it's a threat." As Fel falls into position.
  405. [7:23 PM] Mizuki: "Something?" - Asked Alicia placing her hand on her blade. - "Out here?"
  406. [7:23 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Just Alicia, and John now.
  407. [7:23 PM] Eon: "'Three-head mean monster' to quote."
  408. [7:23 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: I think?
  409. [7:24 PM] Eon: "The dog aren't particularly.. intelligent."
  410.  
  411. [7:24 PM] Runic: Lexon shrugs, "Alright fine, I'll prepare for whatever is coming then." Lexon takes out his White Raven Dagger and get Ready to throw it(edited)
  412. [7:24 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Hellhound's normal intelligence is 6. They have 4. The twin-headed one have 3.)
  413. [7:24 PM] Eon: ... Does Nul get a Ready?
  414. [7:24 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: No.
  415. [7:24 PM] Mizuki: Alicia readies a firebolt, as simple as simple can get. She will send it flying against whatever shows up and perceives a threat to the party.
  416. [7:25 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Else they'd have action and if you daisy conjure I'd :thinking:
  417. [7:25 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Seems good.
  418.  
  419. [7:25 PM] Eon: (Then we'll have a garland that stretches till the ends of the universe made of elementals)
  420. [7:25 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: After a moment, the ground beneath the tower breaks, as a giant monster flies out!
  421. [7:26 PM] Runic: "!"
  422. [7:26 PM] Eon: "Huh. Dramatic entry." Esker blinks.
  423. [7:26 PM] Bot Fodder: Ready? Always. That, and John can't exactly sheath a pike.
  424. [7:26 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: With a head of goat, lion, and dragon, and wings of bat, it's a Chimera!
  425. [7:26 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ...
  426. [7:26 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d20
  427. [7:26 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20]: 2, Result: 2
  428. [7:26 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ...
  429. [7:26 PM] Eon: "Oh."
  430. [7:26 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 5d6
  431. [7:26 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [5d6]: 2,1,6,3,6, Result: 18
  432. [7:26 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Hold Monster." Nirvain points.
  433. [7:26 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It drops on the ground unceremonously.
  434. [7:26 PM] Eon: ... She was expecting a giant Hellhound.
  435. [7:26 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "..."
  436. [7:27 PM] Eon: Eh, was this much different?
  437. [7:27 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: We can... Skip the combat.
  438. [7:27 PM] Bot Fodder: :sadpopo:
  439. [7:27 PM] Runic: (lol)
  440. [7:27 PM] Eon: Esker shrugs.
  441. [7:27 PM] Faerie: ''Halt!'', by the authority - no, the obligation of someone who has butted heads with far worse, Razmik shouts for certain attention. His Symbol shimmers, a form favored by the Paladin for all it has come to symbolize in the party's situation. Light bright enough to put the King in Yellow to shame (according to Razmik, no doubt) emanates from it in anticipation.
  442. [7:27 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: With it paralyzed, John can dispatch it in a single round. It counts as Dragon, for Dragon Slayer'ing.
  443. [7:27 PM] Eon: At least Nul was here to stay..(edited)
  444. [7:27 PM] Mizuki: The firebolt fizzles from Alicia's hands. - "Uh."
  445. [7:27 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: And as it's paralyzed, all hits are criticals...
  446. [7:27 PM] Faerie: (Can we? Damn, you must have high expectations from us)
  447. [7:27 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: A few bolts and daggers flew into it.
  448. [7:28 PM] Faerie: (Does it count as Many Things?)
  449. [7:28 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: And then it chokes and faints/breaths its last.
  450. [7:28 PM] Eon: Esker and Nul look at each other.
  451. [7:28 PM] Eon: "..."
  452. "..."
  453. [7:28 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The hellhounds peeks out from behind Esker.
  454. [7:28 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "..."
  455. [7:28 PM] Mizuki: Alicia shrugs.
  456. [7:28 PM] Runic: Lexon is suprised by the sudden entrance of the monster, along with its sudden death. "Well that's that I guess." Lexon says, before running out and retriving his dagger.
  457. [7:28 PM] Eon: "It's fine now, doggo."
  458. [7:29 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: They goes back to lazing around in the ice and sun.
  459. [7:29 PM] Faerie: Alright, then. Razmik nods, still at attention much like a watchdog himself
  460. [7:29 PM] Eon: "Anyhow, we should get going." Nul wouldn't be around forever!
  461.  
  462. [7:29 PM] Bot Fodder: "Well, that worked out pretty well." Or so John says, but he somehow has mixed feelings about that.
  463. [7:29 PM] Eon: ... Esker will feed Nul goodberries every 10 minutes if not in combat.
  464. [7:29 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: There's a giant hole, at least, of 10ft by 10ft, created by the escaping chimera.
  465. [7:30 PM] Bot Fodder: John peeks over the edge.
  466. [7:30 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... Where there once was a cellar door, it's now just broken floor and ice. It's dark inside, and the ice is black as Agathys.
  467. [7:30 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The slick ice is poisonous, to the touch.
  468. [7:30 PM] Eon: Esker asks Nul to fly down and take a peek.
  469. [7:30 PM] Faerie: ''...What could it be doing here, though?'' Razmik looks at Alicia, his arm tiring from all that raising, and tilts his head.
  470. [7:30 PM] Eon: Esker doesn't give a shit about poison~
  471. [7:30 PM] Faerie: (Alicia pls infodump)
  472. [7:31 PM] Eon: (I am tempted to rub my face on it)
  473. [7:31 PM] Mizuki: "Yeah, no point in waiting, right?" - Alicia lights up her sword. She thinks about Raz's question.
  474. [7:31 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Nul flies down, on command, silently.
  475. [7:31 PM] Mizuki: (what can I roll.jpg)
  476. [7:31 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Chimera?
  477. [7:31 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Arcana.
  478. [7:31 PM] Mizuki: roll 1d20+9
  479. [7:31 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+9]: 19, Result: 28
  480. [7:32 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: If it's about Chimera, you ...
  481. [7:32 PM] Mizuki: (Alicia thankfully is a phd in chimeras)
  482. [7:32 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Know the method of production.
  483. [7:32 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: 1: A mad wizard
  484. 2: Test subjects
  485. 3: Mix test subjects
  486. [7:32 PM] Eon: Esker considers the term 'mad wizard' to be horribly redundant!
  487. [7:32 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Generally, it's a creation to form the "perfect" creature.
  488. [7:32 PM] Faerie: (KEK)
  489. [7:33 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: These form of Chimera - of lion, dragon, and goat - are somehow the most stable of all chimeric forms, and able to breed given careful aide.
  490. [7:33 PM] Runic: (Production sounds about right)
  491. [7:33 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The weird frog-lizard-llama ones tend to not ... Have a mate.
  492. [7:33 PM] Mizuki: She explains to the paladin, what is a Chimera. - "Probably one of the vampire's creations." - She nods.(edited)
  493. [7:34 PM] Eon: Anyhow, if Nul deems it safe, she'll hop down.
  494. [7:34 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Nul reports back after a quick glance.
  495. [7:34 PM] Eon: ... She'll remind the rest to not touch the black ice.
  496. [7:34 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The first floor is a jail.
  497. [7:34 PM] Faerie: Razmik's sight trails off to the body. Maybe it was a far reach since it was already dead, but... he tries pinging for any information, however faint before going down.
  498. [7:34 PM] Faerie: Divine Sense, anything?
  499. [7:34 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The first floor is a jail, with many jail cells. Most are empty or broken, a few have some dead humanoids inside.
  500. [7:34 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Fiends x 4 nearby you.
  501. [7:35 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The hellhounds arf softly, whimpering, surprised.
  502. [7:35 PM] Eon: Isn't it.. 5?
  503.  
  504. [7:35 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The twin-headed one counts as two.
  505. [7:35 PM] Eon: Tot, Succubus, 3 Hellhounds
  506. [7:35 PM] Bot Fodder: (brb restroom)
  507. [7:35 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: I forgot about Fel.
  508. [7:35 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Yeah, 5!
  509. [7:35 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: 1 Celestial (Your mount)
  510. [7:35 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Nothing else noteworthy
  511. [7:36 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It will take you some time to explore the jail cells.
  512. [7:36 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You may, optionally, ignore it.
  513. [7:36 PM] Faerie: Razmik's shoulders loosen, as he gives Interloper a nuzzling and hugs her head with his free hand.
  514. [7:36 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It's hundreds of feets wide, connected by icy tunnels, some black ice, some normal.
  515. [7:36 PM] Runic: "Well might as well take the time to look around, right?" Lexon asks
  516. [7:37 PM] Eon: Esker will point out Nul has.. a limit
  517. [7:37 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Interloper licks Razmik gently.
  518. [7:37 PM] Eon: Esker will opt to just glance at the dead humanoids.
  519. [7:37 PM] Faerie: Being able to keep the noxious stench of demonkind from coming off too strong was something he appreciated. He plays with one of her ears a bit.
  520. [7:37 PM] Mizuki: Alicia nods after jumping down. - "We're already down here, might as well take a look around, I don't want to risk missing any possible info."
  521. [7:38 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The few dead humanoids have distinct bite marks on their neck, and are drained dry of their blood.
  522. [7:38 PM] Eon: Granted, they had like more than 10 people with them.
  523. [7:38 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The spilled blood are messy - whatever, or whoever did the deed was in a hurry.
  524. [7:38 PM] Eon: "Thralls?" Esker muses.
  525. [7:38 PM] Eon: Or perhaps a pseduo blood bank of sorts?
  526. [7:38 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: If you wish to know more, you'd need to investigate those bodies. Keep in mind, this is just your immediate area.
  527. [7:39 PM] Runic: Lexon will look closer and investigate!(edited)
  528. [7:39 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Someone between the lot of you brings out a light and shines on the bodies for better investigation.
  529. [7:39 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Sure, give me an investigation check.
  530. [7:39 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Int(Investigate)
  531. [7:39 PM] Mizuki: Alicia too, will investigate.
  532. [7:39 PM] Runic: Lexon takes out his driftglobe, turning it on for better visability, "Shimmer" he mutters, activating it
  533. [7:39 PM] Faerie: Razmik will check up on them, after closing his eyes and testing for signs once again. (Divine Sense)
  534. [7:39 PM] Mizuki: roll 1d20+9
  535. [7:39 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+9]: 19, Result: 28
  536. [7:39 PM] Runic: roll 1d20-1
  537. [7:40 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20-1]: 9, Result: 8
  538.  
  539. [7:40 PM] Faerie: ''How long ago do you think they died?'', he asks the ones doing forensics.
  540. [7:40 PM] Eon: Esker will keep a look out for any unsavories.
  541. [7:40 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ...
  542. [7:40 PM] Eon: ... Did the jail lead to anywhere else?
  543. [7:40 PM] Runic: "I mean, I think these are vampire bites..."
  544. [7:40 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The necks are filled with bite scars.
  545. [7:40 PM] Mizuki: She has the blade illuminating the place on her right hand and will use it to catch any hidden clues.(edited)
  546. [7:40 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The death cause is obviously lack of blood - the most recent bite marks are deep and drained them dry.
  547. [7:40 PM] Bot Fodder: John investigates as well. "... They've been driven into a corner," he observes aloud. "A vampire wouldn't feed on a safe captive until death."
  548. [7:41 PM] Mizuki: (how recent?)
  549. [7:41 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The body is stiff, and given the condition and temperature, and cause of death, they've been dead since... Around the time you wished for the Wight Wind to go away, give or take 10 minutes.
  550. [7:41 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: There's a worry that they might rise, as an undead.
  551. [7:41 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Given the nature of the humanoid, these particular ones will rise as vampire thralls, if not dispatched.
  552. [7:42 PM] Eon: The Divine Sense didn't pick that up, but it might take a while to turn.
  553. [7:42 PM] Faerie: ''...''
  554. [7:42 PM] Eon: (I suggest lop off the head)
  555. [7:42 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It will take until- well, the night time.
  556. [7:42 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: For very obvious reasons.
  557. [7:42 PM] Faerie: Razmik's got holy water on hand, and a metric fuckton of Bless to go around.
  558. [7:42 PM] Faerie: How many bodies?
  559. [7:42 PM] Mizuki: Alicia gasps. - "Dead, drained of blood, not long ago."
  560. [7:42 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Ah, Razmik - mundane fire will work.
  561. [7:42 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Without an ounce of liquid, those husks of bodies burn very well.
  562. [7:43 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (i know - in reality the body would still have humidity due to cells and whatever)
  563. [7:43 PM] Mizuki: "They might rise as thralls if we don't do anything about them." - She prepares a firebolt and incinerates the one nearby. - "Burn all the bodies."
  564. [7:43 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (biologist pls go)
  565. [7:43 PM] Eon: (granted, I'm more surprised the bodies haven't frostbited over)
  566. [7:43 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You quickly dispatches the bodies?
  567. [7:43 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Alright.
  568. [7:43 PM] Eon: (and their cells bursting and all that)
  569. [7:43 PM] Bot Fodder: "Roger that," John says, applying oil and torch.
  570.  
  571. [7:43 PM] Faerie: That won't stand. He suggests to give them all a proper parting. Razmik prays, asking for their scattered ashes to do no evil and rest innstead.
  572. [7:44 PM] Mizuki: That was actually quite nostalgic. She reminds herself of the first night she met Raz and the others. Hime, Denalthir... What happened to you two?(edited)
  573. [7:44 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: There's a reason for that, Esker - the temperature down here is a lot more temperate - similar to the other underground tunnel you are more familiar with.
  574. [7:44 PM] Runic: ( :sadpopo: stop that)
  575. [7:44 PM] Faerie: Razmik is no mortician, but he has seen one work before. ''Do try to be tactful, at least''
  576.  
  577. [7:44 PM] Mizuki: (what Runic? :sadpopo:)
  578. [7:44 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "I hate to be the bad guy here," Nirvain says, "But we don't have a lot of time."
  579. [7:45 PM] Mizuki: (it makes sense Alicia is worried!)
  580. [7:45 PM] Eon: "Hmm. Doesn't look like there will be a welcome comitee for us, anyhow." Esker comments dryly from her lookout point.
  581. [7:45 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Nirvain points to Nul, the summoned elemental. "And the longer you take to take care of the bodies, the less likely any survivors down here will be alive, or if any remaining vampires will... Y'know."
  582. [7:45 PM] Eon: Nul is also Helping her keep an eye out, at any rate.
  583. [7:45 PM] Mizuki: "I agree." - The girl keeps incinerating the others. - "I'm sorry Raz, but the living comes first here."
  584. [7:45 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... Sorry." Nirvain apologies.
  585.  
  586. [7:46 PM] Bot Fodder: John seems used to this. He even whistles as he works.
  587. [7:46 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: That said, the vampire - or vampires - must've been in a hurry.
  588. [7:46 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The place seems ransacked, in a way.
  589. [7:46 PM] Mizuki: It's not like Alicia has any pleasure on this, but it's necessary. Time is the essence.
  590. [7:46 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: A few jail cells are unlocked, likely for the favorite thralls or charmed to follow them.
  591. [7:47 PM] Eon: Esker considers the whole ceremony with disposing corpses a little frivolous. There are more practical issues at hand.
  592. [7:47 PM] Faerie: The paladin reassures the resident Warlock (no, not Shadow) of it being fine. The dead deserve their last due touches as much as the land deserved to be kept away from the Abyss, he'll mantain.
  593. [7:47 PM] Bot Fodder: (How long were nights in Orixia, again?)
  594. [7:47 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (1 day to 3 - 10ish nights)
  595. [7:47 PM] Eon: (randomly 72 to 720 hours)
  596. [7:47 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (That's a lot more accurate, thanks.)
  597. [7:47 PM] Bot Fodder: (Was that naturally, due to how far north it is, or was it like that due to the Wind?)
  598. [7:47 PM] Faerie: (Have you considered that maybe being careful and working quickly are not mutually exclusive?)
  599. [7:47 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (The goblet spin to the Pelor dictates that)
  600. [7:48 PM] Runic: Lexon, not to fond of the type of work either, does his best to help burn the bodies as fast as he can, pouring oil and lighting some matches, he helps with the ordeal
  601.  
  602. [7:48 PM] Eon: "... We don't quite have all day." She'll emphasise.(edited)
  603. [7:48 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Fel doesn't help out, but Nirvain does what she can, gathering the body and offering them a quick universal prayer.
  604. [7:49 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Within 5 minutes, you've managed to investigate and then burn away the corpess in your immediate vincinity, about 10 of them.
  605. [7:49 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: A few metallic objects remained behind the bones and ashes.
  606. [7:49 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... 22 GP, 5 SP, in coinage, and a necklace with a small Ruby worth 200 GP.
  607. [7:50 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It seems that the vampires did not strip their charmed subjects of material goods - or at least, kept the most notable ones.(edited)
  608. [7:50 PM] Faerie: Leaving the dead to their fate is anathema to what the group was trying to accomplish, in any case.
  609. [7:50 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: There's a distinct lack of sharp objects or wooden furnitures, at least.
  610. [7:50 PM] Faerie: Once again with the misunderstandings. ''You don't see me asking for a casket and burial, though...''
  611. [7:51 PM] Faerie: (Does John have any stakes at hand.png)
  612.  
  613. [7:51 PM] Mizuki: Alicia quickly picks up the items and stuff them inside the bag of holding. - "Lets think about those later."
  614. [7:51 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The chimera's rampage left quite a trail to follow, actually.
  615. [7:51 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: But the tunnel stretches on in all four directions - cardinal.
  616. [7:51 PM] Eon: Esker shrugs. It's not like she was going to run off on her own. 5 minutes was still 5 minutes spent on..
  617. [7:52 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: There's no way down, so there's that.
  618. [7:52 PM] Eon: (is this where)
  619. [7:52 PM] Eon: (we spilt party and tpk)
  620. [7:52 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Now - what do you wish to do, Adventurers?
  621.  
  622. [7:53 PM] Eon: Hmm.
  623. [7:53 PM] Eon: Esker will shift into a wolf, first of all, trying to track scent.
  624. [7:53 PM] Bot Fodder: (John has no... wooden stakes, per se. He has javelins, and can probably remove the metal tips?)
  625. [7:53 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Notably, the hellhounds remained on the surface, too tired and lazy to move and follow you.
  626. [7:54 PM] Runic: Looking at the 4 different direction, Lexon ponders which way to go. Lexon comes up with a pretty sound idea in his opinion, "Should we split up? We're in a hurry right?"
  627. [7:54 PM] Eon: (I might be able to do something with Plant Growth?)
  628. [7:54 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You sniff the air... And almost choked from how bloody the area smells.
  629. [7:54 PM] Mizuki: Alicia reminds herself of that time they split the party and Shadow almost got drowned by a water elemental. - "We walk together."
  630. [7:54 PM] Eon: (if I can meme koga into letting me carry saplings in my pocket)
  631. [7:54 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The area smells like a butcher house, now that you carefully sniffed the air.
  632. [7:54 PM] Eon: Wolfsker.. gags.
  633. [7:54 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: But instead of farm animals, it's a butcher house of humanoids.
  634. [7:54 PM] Eon: Have you ever seen a wolf gag?
  635. [7:55 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The familiar scents of human, elven, halfling flesh and blood fills you with disgust.
  636. [7:55 PM] Eon: Was it any stronger in any particular direction?
  637. [7:55 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Nirvain frowns. "Want me to call and switch with anyone?"
  638. [7:55 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Nirvain offers to retreat and fetch for one of your other companion instead.
  639. [7:55 PM] Eon: Not that it would be easy to tell, with how saturated the air is, she supposes.
  640. [7:56 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "I am not very good at..." Nirvain shrugs. "Exploring area."
  641. [7:56 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The direction is a very hard thing to tell,
  642. [7:56 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: give me a wisdom check, Esker.
  643. [7:56 PM] Runic: "Yeah, whatever it is, this doesn't smell right" Lexon comments, whose able to handle the stench
  644. [7:56 PM] Eon: roll 1d20+5 straight?
  645. [7:56 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+5]: 3, Result: 8
  646. [7:56 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Insight
  647. [7:56 PM] Eon: o-oh 12 then.
  648. [7:56 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ...
  649. [7:57 PM] Eon: (unless you allow reroll :^)
  650. [7:57 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You pick through the available scents - you can distinguish the stink of goat from all of these smells.
  651. [7:57 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: That helps you follow the Chimera.
  652. [7:57 PM] Eon: "Chimera came from.. that way." She points to whatever path that was.
  653. [7:57 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: But you can't pick up any weird scents. Like, weirder than those present, blood, and that of the Chimera.
  654. [7:57 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Esker, how are you communicating with your party members?
  655. [7:58 PM] Eon: ...
  656. [7:58 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Awoo.
  657. [7:58 PM] Eon: "Awoo. Arf. Bark."
  658. [7:58 PM] Eon: Shaking her head, she shifts back.
  659. [7:58 PM] Eon: "Chimera came from that direction, anyway."
  660. [7:58 PM] Bot Fodder: John, who stays with the core of the group, tilts his head. "Oh. I was sure you were saying something about a well..."
  661. [7:59 PM] Eon: Esker theorises that that is probably where any mad wizard vampire's lab or whatever wizards worked in these days was there.
  662.  
  663. [7:59 PM] Eon: Which is the most likely place to find information on the moon, she thinks.
  664. [8:00 PM] Mizuki: Alicia croaches, approaching her sword to the floor. No trail of blood or anything? Nothing?
  665. [8:00 PM] Mizuki: roll 1d20+9 investigation
  666. [8:00 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+9]: 19, Result: 28
  667. [8:00 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... Hm.
  668. [8:00 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You notice something strange, Alicia.
  669. [8:00 PM] Mizuki: (third 19)
  670. [8:00 PM] Eon: Esker then sneezes, trying to get the stench of it out of her nose.
  671. [8:01 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The differentiantial in air flow, the way the bloods trailed, and the like,
  672. [8:01 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You have a feeling that, from investigating the criminals, there's a primary one and about 4 others of lesser strength,
  673. [8:01 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: they all seem to have fled quickly toward where the Chimera escaped from.
  674. [8:02 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: There's a few other footprints, as well. Humanoids, from the look of things.
  675. [8:02 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The humanoid footprints go toward the same direction as well... With exact strides.
  676. [8:02 PM] Mizuki: Alicia holds Esker's hand and pulls her down - "Hey, take a look at this." - She whispered pointing at the trails."
  677. [8:03 PM] Eon: Esker rubs her nose as she is yanked by Alicia. "W-what? Oh, right, hmm."
  678. [8:03 PM] Mizuki: "Four of them, all headed towards the place you sniffed the Chimera from."
  679. [8:03 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The steps between the sets of humanoid steps are the exact same width, and strength, almost as if robotic, in a way.
  680. [8:03 PM] Eon: "Should expect company that way. Maybe vampires?"
  681. [8:04 PM] Mizuki: "Look at how precise those footsteps are." - She continued holding her down. - "I would guess they are thralls."
  682. [8:04 PM] Eon: Esker herself wasn't sure about what other kind of company vampires could have.
  683. [8:04 PM] Bot Fodder: "I would've understood if they fled the chimera, but where it came from...?" John doesn't like this one bit.(edited)
  684. [8:04 PM] Eon: "Ah, that makes sense." She nods to the girl's assessment.
  685. [8:05 PM] Mizuki: "Those four here, might be from vampires, look at this one." - She continued. - "More blood, to me it seems like some sort of boss."
  686. [8:05 PM] Eon: "That seems like the path, anyhow. Though, I'm not sure if we can get rid of vampires for good currently."
  687. [8:06 PM] Eon: She'll mention that there was a lack of sharp pointy wooden objects.(edited)
  688. [8:06 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d20
  689. [8:06 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20]: 15, Result: 15
  690. [8:06 PM] Eon: ...
  691. [8:06 PM] Eon: Esker takes out her quarterstaff.
  692. [8:06 PM] Eon: Her old one.
  693. [8:06 PM] Runic: Lexon can only stare blankly, trying to understand how Alicia is getting all this information from since he's not great at this himself.
  694. [8:06 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: There's a lack of wooden objects in general, actually, down here.
  695. [8:06 PM] Eon: "We could.. refashion this?"
  696. [8:07 PM] Mizuki: She gets up, letting go of Esker's hand. - "Yeah, that one seems to be our destination."
  697. [8:07 PM] Eon: Unfortunately, Transmute Wood is not a spell.
  698.  
  699. [8:07 PM] Eon: "Anyone good with woodworking?" She'll ask the group if they could consider doing an impromptu stake carving session.
  700. [8:08 PM] Faerie: (fuck)
  701. [8:09 PM] Faerie: (So like two thirds of my extended family showed up, sorry for going MIA)
  702. [8:09 PM] Mizuki: "I don't think a person needs to know woodcarving for such a simple thing." - She takes the quarterstaff from Esker's hands, with her permission. - "Can I?"
  703. [8:09 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (wew, it's k)
  704. [8:09 PM] Runic: Lexon raises his hands, "Uhh, I've used table legs as weapons, if that counts"
  705. [8:09 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (I figured)
  706.  
  707. [8:09 PM] Faerie: (:sadpopo:)
  708. [8:09 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Lexon is exceptionally proficient in wooden stacks.
  709. [8:09 PM] Eon: "Sure, got a fancy new one, anyway." Though, she doesn't remember buying it..
  710. [8:09 PM] Bot Fodder: (Man, living near your extended family sounds terrible~)
  711. [8:09 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Stakes, too.
  712. [8:10 PM] Mizuki: (don't worry, Fae)
  713.  
  714. [8:10 PM] Eon: (I'll mark off my old 1/4staff)
  715. [8:10 PM] Bot Fodder: John can make stakes out of these easily! He raises a hand.
  716. [8:10 PM] Eon: Koga koga
  717. [8:10 PM] Mizuki: Alicia takes the quarterstaff and breaks it a few times, to make a suitable ammount of stakes for everyone, sharpening them with her dagger.
  718. [8:10 PM] Eon: can I Shillelagh a stake
  719. [8:10 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: wew
  720. [8:10 PM] Runic: "You kill vampires by shoving wood through their hearts. yeah? I can, probably jam a table leg through them if we find something like that. I think." He says, not too sure of himself at the end
  721. [8:10 PM] Mizuki: (do I need to roll for that?)
  722. [8:10 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... no
  723. [8:11 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: and Esker... No.
  724. [8:11 PM] Eon: (Boo, magical stakes :sadpopo: )
  725. [8:11 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You produced
  726. [8:11 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d4+1
  727. [8:11 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d4+1]: 2, Result: 3
  728. [8:11 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: 3 usable stakes.
  729. [8:11 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Rest of them are thin and... chopsticky.
  730. [8:11 PM] Eon: Esker.. picks them up.
  731. [8:12 PM] Mizuki: Alicia hands them to Esker.
  732. [8:12 PM] Eon: Maybe they could be Mended still.
  733. [8:12 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: A voice inside you tells you to not bank on carpentry for a livinghood if you retire.
  734. [8:12 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ...
  735. [8:12 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Yes, Esker.
  736. [8:12 PM] Bot Fodder: (Sorry ._.)
  737. [8:12 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: In fact, you can regrow your staff given the right condition.
  738. [8:12 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: but well, it's a mundane staff.
  739. [8:12 PM] Eon: Esker muses that Nul is just sitting around this time, but, oh well.
  740. [8:13 PM] Eon: Can I cast Mending once to produce a fourth stake?
  741. [8:13 PM] Eon: (we only need 4, anyhow)
  742. [8:13 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ...
  743. [8:13 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Seems fine.
  744. [8:13 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The party has obtained some uneven stakes of various forms and sizes, and grips.
  745. [8:13 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: This took a few moments.
  746. [8:13 PM] Eon: She'll do that, then. And hand out the 3 stakes to the fronliners, 2 to Raz and the other to John
  747. [8:13 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You ... All hear sobbing.
  748. [8:14 PM] Eon: and the new one to John, as well.
  749. [8:14 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Down the tunnel, toward the direction where the chimera came from.
  750. [8:14 PM] Bot Fodder: Like... human sobbing?
  751. [8:14 PM] Runic: (>Lexon not being a fronliner, yeah okay)
  752. [8:14 PM] Eon: She nods at Razmik, expecting him to put it to good use.
  753. [8:14 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Probably?
  754.  
  755. [8:14 PM] Eon: (I meaaaaaan, you can hold the vampire while we stake them ;_:)
  756. [8:14 PM] Mizuki: (oh Koga, I forgot)
  757. [8:14 PM] Faerie: Ah, it's likely Razmik won't need both stakes. He accepts once, though. Caution is wise, and forewarned is forearmed. He thanks Esker.
  758. [8:15 PM] Mizuki: (I have darkvision from the robe of eyes)
  759. [8:15 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (wew)
  760. [8:15 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (seems legit)
  761. [8:15 PM] Eon: In that case she'll spilt between the 4 PCs that are not her.
  762. [8:15 PM] Mizuki: (120ft)
  763. [8:15 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Alicia's robe of eyes blink a bit.
  764. [8:15 PM] Faerie: Salamander to ignite, Razmik foresees danger anyways.
  765. [8:15 PM] Runic: Lexon takes one of the stakes, handed by Esker
  766. [8:15 PM] Eon: Esker never did get used to the creepy eyes.
  767. [8:15 PM] Eon: They reminded her of.. something?
  768. [8:15 PM] Faerie: ''Careful with that, Alicia. Don't stand near bright light'', he warns.
  769. [8:15 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Nobody ever did, Esker.
  770. [8:16 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: .... The sobbing voice seems to be coming slowly closer, and closer...
  771. [8:16 PM] Mizuki: Alicia dispells the light casted on her blade and touches John's weapon instead, casting light on it.
  772. [8:16 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: And, at a distance, Alicia, you see a young elven warrior, sobbing, bloodied, wounded, dragging a claymore with him.
  773. [8:16 PM] Eon: Esker conjures and nocks an arrowless Starbow, and tells Nul to stand ready.
  774. [8:17 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: He seems rather tired, and crestfallen. Wounds cover his body, gashes and bruises. It seems to be an escapee.
  775. [8:17 PM] Eon: "... I can't see anything."
  776. [8:17 PM] Eon: But she can hear the sobbing, which is enough for her.
  777. [8:17 PM] Mizuki: "Ready yourselves everyone!" - Shouted Alicia lifting her shield. - "Someone comes, might be friendly."
  778. [8:17 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Limping and walking, he seems to have noticed the group's light source.
  779. [8:17 PM] Mizuki: "Who goes there?" - She asked.
  780. [8:18 PM] Eon: As soon as they enter Esker's vision..
  781. "Halt, and tell us who you are."
  782. [8:18 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Almost as if excited, he waves with a good hand, as his other hand drags the claymore. He's unable to speak, it seeks - unable to communicate, he's just hoping that you guys can see him.
  783. [8:18 PM] Eon: She pulls back the bowstring to emphasise the 'Halt' part.
  784. [8:18 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: He opens his mouth, making a bit of muted sounds - he doesn't have a tongue, it seems.
  785. [8:18 PM] Eon: ...
  786. [8:18 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: He pantomimes for a bit, indicating that he means no harm.
  787. [8:19 PM] Mizuki: "Drop your weapon and come." - Said the wizard.
  788. [8:19 PM] Eon: "Hmm." Still suspicious. Insight check, please?
  789. [8:19 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Sure, Esker.
  790. [8:19 PM] Eon: roll 1d20+9 Are you truly..
  791. [8:19 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+9]: 11, Result: 20
  792. [8:19 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Nodding, the elven male drops his weapon.
  793. [8:19 PM] Faerie: Razmik takes Esker's example in earnest, preparing himself. He'll rely on Alicia: Even if no sound is made, could she read its lips?
  794. [8:19 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: He does seem mute - the tongue's cut off. Not recently, mind you.
  795. [8:19 PM] Mizuki: She can! Alicia is smart like that.
  796. [8:19 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: He limps closer, blinking at Alicia.
  797. [8:19 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ...
  798. [8:20 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: In THAT case.
  799. [8:20 PM] Runic: Lexon softly kicks Esker in the back of her leg, "Come on, dude obviously looks like he means no harm"
  800. [8:20 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Alicia... The lips that the elf made - makes no sense.
  801. [8:20 PM] Bot Fodder: John leans over to whisper to Razmik. "Hey. What happens to thralls when a vampire dies, again?"
  802. [8:20 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It's not Common or Elven.
  803. [8:20 PM] Faerie: Razmik lowers his still shedding light weapon. His expression changes to one of curiosity, and maybe concern - for their guest.
  804. [8:20 PM] Eon: "Looks. Can never be sure on this world."
  805. [8:20 PM] Faerie: (What languages can 'Licia speak anyway?)
  806. [8:20 PM] Mizuki: (I'm a bit spooked.)
  807. [8:20 PM] Eon: Esker reaches for her Sending Stone.
  808. [8:20 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Even as someone who have their tongues cut off, their mouth tend to motion in the way to perform some sort of semblence of their previous known language.
  809. [8:20 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Not in this case.
  810. [8:21 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Give me a ....
  811. [8:21 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... Intelligence + 5 + # of languages known, Alicia.
  812. [8:21 PM] Mizuki: "Don't relax, everyone." - She said, staring at the elf while still holding her blade.(edited)
  813. [8:21 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: With a d20.
  814. [8:21 PM] Mizuki: roll 1d20+6 :sadpopo:
  815. [8:21 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+6]: 4, Result: 10
  816. [8:21 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Give me a linguistic chec-
  817. [8:21 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You have little idea what language it is.
  818. [8:21 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: With that hint, however,
  819. [8:21 PM] Eon: "Recelle, might want to send Elerith down here." She'll provide directions and all that.
  820. [8:22 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Esker, the elven male doesn't seem too used to walking.
  821. [8:22 PM] Faerie: (Man, I dunno, Kap)
  822. [8:22 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: His not limp. He's.. Not used to walking in this form.
  823. [8:22 PM] Eon: ... Nirvain could take a break, she imagines.
  824. [8:22 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It's a shapeshifter!
  825. [8:22 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d20
  826. [8:22 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20]: 20, Result: 20
  827. [8:22 PM] Eon: "...!"
  828. [8:22 PM] Faerie: (Can I roll to see what I know about thralls?)
  829. [8:22 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... Noticing your facial change,
  830. [8:22 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The elven male growls, and pounce!
  831. [8:22 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: initiative.

  841. [8:22 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+3]: 7, Result: 10

  844. [8:22 PM] Mizuki: (I mean, advantage)
  845. [8:23 PM] Eon: roll 1d20+3 anyhow

  852. [8:23 PM] Eon: Did my Sending Stone go through, though? :thinking:
  853. [8:24 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (sec)
  854. [8:24 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Your sending stone went through just fine,
  855. [8:24 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: and Recelle replied with a "Roger" just as the male pounced,
  856. [8:24 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d20 nirvain
  857. [8:24 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20]: 18, Result: 18

  860. [8:24 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... First, the unknown elf's turn.
  861. [8:25 PM] Bot Fodder: (T-this party is still too big :sadpopo: )
  862. [8:25 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The unknown being shifts with a strange set of steps, and opens its jaw.
  863. [8:25 PM] Eon: "Blast it all, I knew something was up.." Esker growls, as she barely has time to put back her Sending Stone.
  864. [8:25 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... A green, yellowish cloud rolls down on the party.
  865. [8:25 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Cloudkill!
  866. [8:25 PM] Eon: Immune.
  867. [8:26 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Everyone ELSE, give me a con save.
  868. [8:26 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: DC 15.
  869. [8:26 PM] Mizuki: roll 1d20+2 LEGGO
  870. [8:26 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+2]: 9, Result: 11
  871. [8:26 PM] Faerie: Razmik readies himself, fixating his gaze on it. Good, sharp eyes were the first step conductive to combat, after all...
  872. [8:26 PM] Runic: roll 1d20+2
  873. [8:26 PM] Eon: (Raz aura)
  874. [8:26 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+2]: 13, Result: 15
  875. [8:26 PM] Mizuki: (what's the aura's modifier?)
  876. [8:26 PM] Faerie: Borrowing from a page of Alicia's book, Razmik stares unblinking
  877. [8:27 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 5d8 poison damage

  881. [8:27 PM] Mizuki: (what modifier do I add to my roll?)
  882. [8:27 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: With a roaring laughter, the source of the cloudkill disappears from your sight, as the cloud of poisonous gas obscures your view...
  883. [8:27 PM] Bot Fodder: roll 1d20+7
  884. [8:27 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+7]: 10, Result: 17
  885. [8:27 PM] Eon: Esker holds her breath by instinct, then relaxes a little, and glares at the 'man'. Well, If she could see the damnable..(edited)
  886. [8:27 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: 22 poison damage, half of you made the save, 0 if you are immune like Esker.
  887. [8:27 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d20 nirvain
  888. [8:27 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20]: 20, Result: 20
  889. [8:28 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Nirvain coughs a little, while Fel's dismissed back to the infernal realms.
  890. [8:28 PM] Mizuki: (guys, how many damage did I take? :firepopo:)
  891. [8:28 PM] Bot Fodder: (dat 20)
  892. [8:28 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Ask Razmik)
  893. [8:28 PM] Mizuki: (I don't know how many this aura adds)
  894. [8:28 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ( :rainbowpopo: )
  895.  
  896. [8:29 PM] Runic: Lexon manges to hold his breath in time, taking lesser damage
  897. [8:29 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (sec, brb)
  898. [8:29 PM] Faerie: (+3 CHA, +100 morale)
  899. [8:29 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: top init being 19 at Razmik,
  900. [8:29 PM] Mizuki: (then I took the damage)
  901. [8:29 PM] Eon: ... Nul is also immune, to note.

  903. [8:30 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (22 poison ntb)
  904. [8:30 PM] Faerie: 13 temporary HP for everyone around)
  905. [8:30 PM] Mizuki: Alicia coughs incontrolably as the cloud envelops the party.
  906. [8:30 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The cloud lingers, obviously.
  907. [8:31 PM] Bot Fodder: (Should we roll20?)
  908. [8:31 PM] Eon: (as if koga roll20s :rainbowpopo: )
  909. [8:31 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (... I guess if you really wanna)
  910. [8:31 PM] Faerie: (Let's let Razmik asesss, first thing first. Anything past the cloud? Does it obscure vision?)(edited)
  911. [8:31 PM] Eon: (we don't really need to, atm)
  912. [8:31 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (give me 5 minutes)
  913. [8:31 PM] Bot Fodder: (We don't need it, probably.)
  914. [8:31 PM] Eon: (its heavily obscured, yeah)
  915. [8:31 PM] Bot Fodder: (was just asking)
  916. [8:32 PM] Faerie: (MY IMMERSION is hurt by r20, so let's not)
  917. [8:32 PM] Eon: (you're blind while inside of it, unless you have blindsight somehow)
  918. [8:32 PM] Faerie: (Fuck, I should have asked earlier. Interloper doesn't fit in here, right? So she should be outside)
  919. [8:33 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (did she come with you?)
  920. [8:33 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (You can answer that.)
  921. [8:33 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (she coudl fit.)
  922. [8:33 PM] Mizuki: (Koga, question)
  923. [8:33 PM] Bot Fodder: (You might not want her here, though. :sadpopo: )
  924. [8:33 PM] Eon: (Raz has to make Cloudkill save at sot right?)
  925. [8:33 PM] Faerie: (Let's say not, this prison place was too creepy anyway. Besides, it might have posed problems)
  926. [8:33 PM] Mizuki: (Am I blinded even with my robe of eyes?)
  927. [8:33 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (do you have blind sight?)
  928. [8:34 PM] Mizuki: (You can see Invisible creatures and objects, as well as see into the Ethereal Plane, out to a range of 120 feet.)
  929. [8:34 PM] KogasaGaSagasa:
  930.  
  931. [8:34 PM] Mizuki: (probably doesn't count there :thinking:)
  932. [8:34 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It's not so much that the creature is invisible,
  933. [8:34 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: as much as that you are blinded by the mist.
  934. [8:34 PM] Eon: (a-am I.. am I the slime)
  935. [8:34 PM] Mizuki: (cool)
  936. [8:34 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You can't even tell how large it is right this moment.
  937. [8:34 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Yes, Esker.)
  938.  
  939. [8:35 PM] Eon: (presumably, Nul is next to me)
  940. [8:35 PM] Runic: (Man the difference in artstyles is so jarring lol)
  941. [8:35 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (I guesssss)
  942. [8:35 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Null is large?)
  943. [8:35 PM] Eon: (yeah..)
  944. [8:36 PM] Eon: (so, behind, I suppose, but she can slide over people no problem)
  945. [8:36 PM] Mizuki: (brb 1 minute)
  946. [8:36 PM] Bot Fodder: (... Wouldn't Null cause an effect similar to strong wind and disperse or draw in the cloud?)
  947. [8:36 PM] Mizuki: (also @Faerie did you cast aid on me or something? Do I have any extra hp?)
  948. [8:36 PM] Eon: (its.. not on the block.)
  949. [8:36 PM] Faerie: (Question, what's that cute lizard to the left? Esker?)
  950. [8:36 PM] Eon: (that's a slime)
  951. [8:36 PM] Eon: (and yes, since Eon is a slime)
  952. [8:37 PM] Mizuki: (>LIZARD)
  953. [8:37 PM] KogasaGaSagasa:
  954.  
  955. [8:37 PM] Faerie: (Also, how far away was it at the start?)
  956. [8:37 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Box is Nul, Nirvain is the blue thing, fog is unmarked since you can't see,
  957. [8:37 PM] Eon: (Dunno, maybe koga will let me use Nul's super skill to disperse the cloud)
  958. [8:37 PM] Mizuki: (oh shit who is that cutie?)
  959. [8:37 PM] Faerie: (Fuck, hold on)
  960. [8:37 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The unknown was around 40ft away
  961. [8:37 PM] Faerie: (Memeconection)
  962. [8:38 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Now that I finished setting up,
  963. [8:38 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Razmik, your turn - Take Cloudkill!
  964. [8:38 PM] Faerie: Alright, then. Not much to do here, in all honesty. Razmik runs ahead, showing himself to the shapefighter in an attempt to grab its attention.
  965. [8:38 PM] Faerie: Should I roll a save?
  966. [8:38 PM] Faerie: Alrighty.
  967. [8:38 PM] Faerie: roll 1d20+11 CON save

  973. [8:38 PM] Eon: (is it on my spelllist..)
  974. [8:39 PM] Eon: (Eh, only for wiznerds and sorcs, shame.)
  975. [8:39 PM] KogasaGaSagasa:
  976. [8:39 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The culprit is nowhere in sight, but you gauged the size of the cloudkill.
  977. [8:40 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The tunnel stretches on ahead of you...
  978. [8:40 PM] Eon: (koga, for the ring of shooting stars)
  979. [8:40 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: What do you wish to do, now, Razmik.
  980. [8:40 PM] Eon: (the spells on it don't have a DC)
  981. [8:40 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (fugg)
  982. [8:40 PM] Faerie: (96 HP currently)
  983. [8:41 PM] Eon: (like even in the DMG, so what do I use?)
  984. [8:41 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (15 for now, check DC for magic item in DMG later)
  985. [8:41 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (There should be a segment about casting spells from magic items and their base DC)
  986. [8:41 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Anyways, anything else, Razmik?
  987.  
  988. [8:43 PM] Faerie: Fist clenched, Razmik releleases as he dives past the cloud, dashing (but not really dashing, just moving 30 ahead)
  989. [8:43 PM] Faerie: (OOC: I don't wanna cast Dispel Magic because it might fail, so I'm casting Bless instead. Alicia, John and Lexon)
  990. [8:43 PM] Faerie: (test)
  991. [8:43 PM] Eon: (sasuga internet)
  992. [8:43 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (hue)
  993. [8:43 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Alicia, John, Lexon?
  994. [8:43 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You can't see them to bless them.
  995. [8:43 PM] Eon: (ok, I can be really excessive)
  996. [8:43 PM] Faerie: (Sorry!)
  997. [8:43 PM] Faerie: (Wait fuck)
  998. [8:43 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Mind if I remind you,
  999. [8:44 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: the fog obscures vision.
  1000. [8:44 PM] Mizuki: (:flag_cl:)
  1001. [8:44 PM] Eon: (and wall of stone the memer off)
  1002. [8:44 PM] Faerie: Alright, fuck this. Dashing ahead until Razmik dashes for 40, is that cool?(edited)
  1003. [8:44 PM] Eon: (or I can just fae fire where I think it is, if we are working under the assumption its invisible, though Alicia can check that)(edited)
  1004. [8:45 PM] Faerie: (Koga, I have a very VERY terrible thing to ask)
  1005. [8:45 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You moved forward, with no resistance.
  1006. [8:45 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Sure.)
  1007.  
  1008. [8:46 PM] Faerie: (Is switching to Tunnel Fighter kosher? Or not noe/not ever?)
  1009. [8:46 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Sure, go for it)
  1010. [8:46 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The side are tunnel walls, less than ice now, and more of a mundane dirt/stone wall.
  1011. [8:46 PM] Faerie: (I love you)
  1012. [8:46 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: So there's no risk of the black ice poisoning, anyhow.
  1013. [8:46 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ( :troubledkoga: )
  1014.  
  1015. [8:46 PM] Eon: (get a room for that erp, sheesh)
  1016. [8:47 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Nirvain afterward, who will choke a bit,
  1017. [8:47 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d20
  1018. [8:47 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20]: 4, Result: 4

  1020. [8:47 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [5d8]: 7,3,5,7,1, Result: 23
  1021. [8:47 PM] Mizuki: (Koga)
  1022. [8:47 PM] Faerie: When Razmik ceases locomotion,Salamander is held high up to his side, a stance resembling that of Sariel or a certain guard...
  1023. [8:47 PM] Mizuki: (Did Azura get obliterated?)
  1024. [8:47 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Uh, yeah)
  1025. [8:47 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (even if she make save, she won't get damage reduced to the point where she can survive)(edited)
  1026. [8:47 PM] Faerie: Seal their movement, seal their options, then seize (pass)
  1027. [8:47 PM] Runic: (Hey Koga do I have to see the target in order to hit them with White Raven within the line it flies through?)
  1028. [8:47 PM] Eon: (THE MEANS OF PRODUCTION)
  1029. [8:47 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You can guess their location, Lexon.
  1030. [8:48 PM] Bot Fodder: (asdf room is spinning~)
  1031. [8:48 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Nirvain feels faint...
  1032. [8:48 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: She squeeze past by Nul, choking and coughing, fleeing out of the cloud.
  1033. [8:48 PM] Mizuki: (A-Are you alright?)
  1034. [8:48 PM] Bot Fodder: (I realize the irony that it happens now)
  1035. [8:48 PM] Bot Fodder: (It'll pass. Sorry!)
  1036. [8:48 PM] Faerie: [Switching Dueling (which is still a great style, pls no hate) for Dorf Fightan style]
  1037. [8:48 PM] Faerie: (What's wrong, Kap?l
  1038. [8:48 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Panting, huffing, she moves a bit further away from the offending cloud.
  1039. [8:49 PM] Mizuki: (If you're not feeling well, make sure to lay down, my brother has that kind of thing all the time.)
  1040. [8:49 PM] Eon: Esker feels a little guilty that she's just.. chilling in it.
  1041. [8:49 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Yeah, tkae your time)
  1042. [8:49 PM] Eon: (Yeah, you alright?)
  1043. [8:49 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: John, your turn - but if you aren't feeling well, we can pause for you
  1044. [8:49 PM] Faerie: (>(THE MEANS OF PRODUCTION)
  1045. MY SIDES)
  1046. [8:50 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Also I need someone with entangle to meme the party with cloudkill, I guess :thinking: )
  1047. [8:50 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (or Evard's :thinking: )
  1048. [8:50 PM] Eon: (Can I pull a grand betrayal Kappa)
  1049. [8:50 PM] Eon: (But well, everyone has like plus infinite to str saves)
  1050. [8:50 PM] Bot Fodder: (I dunno, but it happens sometimes. Aches and stuff, lightheaddedness)
  1051. [8:51 PM] Bot Fodder: (Uh, did I miss my turn :sadpopo: )
  1052. [8:51 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Still your turn.)
  1053. [8:51 PM] Faerie: (Gotta pee, brb)
  1054. [8:52 PM] Bot Fodder: (What's the box in front on the map, again?)
  1055. [8:52 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (which box?)(edited)
  1056. [8:52 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Which is front?)
  1057. [8:52 PM] Faerie: (test)
  1058. [8:52 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Tested)
  1059. [8:52 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The situation hasn't changed - you are still standing in a cloud of poisonous gas,
  1060. [8:53 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: which also means that you should make a con save.
  1061. [8:53 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: As Razmik has moved away, you not longer benefit from aura, everyone.
  1062. [8:53 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Unfortunately.)
  1063. [8:53 PM] Runic: (Yellow box is cloudkill, green box is Esker's summon, black boxes is quickdrawn tunnel walls, too many boxes man, gotta be specific)
  1064. [8:54 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ( Razmik, when you said "dahes for 40", do you mean 40 in total movement of the turn)
  1065. [8:54 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (or did you mean "10 more")
  1066. [8:54 PM] Bot Fodder: John sticks with the basics: he grabs whoever has it worst and tries to tow them out of the cloud with him.
  1067. [8:54 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Your immediate surrounding contains: Alicia, and Lexon
  1068. [8:54 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: If they don't resist, you may automatic grapple and move them as per grapple rule.
  1069. [8:55 PM] Bot Fodder: (TBH I usually default to thinking of Lexon as invincible. lel)
  1070. [8:55 PM] Runic: Lexon... doesn't resists
  1071. [8:55 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d4
  1072. [8:55 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d4]: 3, Result: 3
  1073. [8:55 PM] Runic: (Tempted man)
  1074. [8:55 PM] Mizuki: Alicia will not resist either!
  1075. [8:56 PM] Bot Fodder: (Actually, wait, John has two attacks! Can he drop his weapon and grab them both?)
  1076. [8:56 PM] Faerie: (I meant uh, however much it takes to get to where the elf was before the cloud :sadpopo:)
  1077. [8:57 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Ah, seems legit Razmik.
  1078. And, hm. Seems fine.
  1079. [8:57 PM] Faerie: (CAN HE GRAB THEM BOTH?)
  1080. [8:58 PM] Faerie: (The mental image shouldn't be disregarded)
  1081. [8:58 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... Razmik, the greatsword that the elf dropped lies on the floor 20ft ahead of you, or so, seemingly of plain design.
  1082.  
  1083. [8:59 PM] Bot Fodder: John slides his weapon back out of the cloud and pulls Lexon and Alicia back until they have a clear view again. (20ft, if John's movement is halved.)
  1084. [8:59 PM] Eon: Once Alicia is out of the cloud, she would be able to see if anything invisible is around..
  1085. [8:59 PM] KogasaGaSagasa:
  1086.  
  1087. [8:59 PM] Eon: (Which will inform my turn)
  1088. [9:00 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: I'll be nice.
  1089. [9:00 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d20
  1090. [9:00 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20]: 15, Result: 15
  1091. [9:00 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... Alicia. The fog seems to seep into the wall.
  1092. [9:00 PM] Bot Fodder: (inb4 the cloud floats with us :sadpopo: )
  1093. [9:00 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Just a little, at places.
  1094. [9:00 PM] Bot Fodder: (I was hoping I could get a little further, but that works.)
  1095. [9:00 PM] Faerie: Registering it, Razmik doesn't react. More than honed reflexes, he relies on an inner focus the likes of which can't be disturbed by weapon mundane or magic. and stuff.
  1096. [9:00 PM] Runic: Lexon releases his arm covering his face, able to take a moment of breath, "Thanks John"
  1097. [9:00 PM] Mizuki: Alicia coughs as she comes out, her eyes a little red. - "J-John..."
  1098. [9:01 PM] Mizuki: (Can I see the enemy, Koga?)
  1099. [9:01 PM] Eon: Esker.. is relieved that people got out of the Cloudkill, at least.
  1100. [9:01 PM] Bot Fodder: A quick wheeze to clear his lungs, and John is back in the fight. "Who's still in there?" he asks hurriedly.
  1101. [9:01 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Sight-blocking illusionary walls line the tunnel that you are in.
  1102. [9:02 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The constructed tunnel is hidden with ... Something.
  1103. [9:02 PM] Eon: She and Nul glance at each other. Chilling in the deadly cloud.
  1104. [9:02 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You see no enemy, but you identify the illusionary wall's locations.
  1105. [9:02 PM] KogasaGaSagasa:
  1106. [9:02 PM] Faerie: (Oh shit)
  1107. [9:02 PM] Mizuki: (Nice)
  1108. [9:02 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: And like, each 10ft.
  1109. [9:02 PM] Eon: Well, deadly for people who weren't primordially warded.
  1110. [9:02 PM] Faerie: (Koga's trying to bamboozle us!)
  1111. [9:03 PM] Eon: (What's behind door number 6)
  1112. [9:03 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (They've largely chimped out, and used one long illusionary hallway, rather than individual sheets of illusionary material!)
  1113. [9:03 PM] Bot Fodder: (... I'll be honest, when I saw those indents, I first thought "wall trap")
  1114. [9:03 PM] Mizuki: "Esker's still there!" - She shouted regaining her composure, eyes still red. - "And illusions! Illusory walls! There, and there."
  1115. [9:03 PM] Mizuki: She pointed.
  1116. [9:03 PM] Eon: "I'm fine!"
  1117. [9:03 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "I am ok." Nirvain shouts, from the otherside.
  1118. [9:03 PM] Eon: "It kind of stinks in here, but I'm fine!"
  1119. [9:03 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: However, the illsuionary walls remained sight-blocking.
  1120. [9:04 PM] Mizuki: "Come out, you coward!" - She shouted coughing one last time.
  1121. [9:04 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: That's their primary task; acting as a thinly veiled curtain.
  1122. [9:04 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Anything else, John?
  1123. [9:04 PM] Eon: Illusions? Huh. Well that explains somethings.
  1124. [9:04 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Normally, I'd expect someone to burn an action to take an Investigation roll :lul FUCK)(edited)
  1125. [9:04 PM] Faerie: Razmik is in the middle of an autism fit is too worried tensing his leg muscles to answer. ...he feels a slight sense of regret for leaving everyone behind for the time being though.
  1126. [9:05 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (tfw dead blobemote)
  1127. [9:05 PM] Mizuki: (Alicia is useful!)
  1128. [9:05 PM] Bot Fodder: Pass, for now. And if possible, he'll step back a bit further, in case the fog continues to spread. He ends the grapple just before his turn.
  1129.  
  1130. [9:05 PM] Eon: (Her passive investigation is hilariously high, anyhow)
  1131. [9:05 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Seems legit.
  1132. [9:05 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: .. Alicia.
  1133. [9:06 PM] Eon: (Y'know, could Alicia have counterspelled the Cloudkill?)
  1134. [9:06 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Surprise, can't take actions.)
  1135. [9:06 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (This include reactions.)
  1136. [9:06 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (I was being as out-for-blood as I was able.)
  1137. [9:06 PM] Mizuki: Alicia wastes no time! She runs ahead and turns the first right rising her shield, into the illusory wall! Anyone there?
  1138. [9:07 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ...
  1139. [9:07 PM] KogasaGaSagasa:
  1140.  
  1141. [9:08 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... The elven male, his eyes not reliant on mundane sight, turns to you, and smiles.
  1142. [9:08 PM] Faerie: (Koga, can I submit a token for Raz after the session?)
  1143. [9:08 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: A voice rings out in your mind.
  1144. [9:08 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "You can be a fertile breeding ground. Yes. Arcane power..."
  1145. [9:08 PM] Faerie: (I wanna draw Lath's holy symbol on MSPaint)
  1146. [9:08 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: His delicate, if bruised, elven hands bursts into claws, each with the tips of a... Some sort of injector.
  1147. [9:09 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: What else do you do, Alicia.
  1148. [9:09 PM] Eon: (Oh god please do not turn on us)
  1149. [9:10 PM] Mizuki: She gasps surprised, and disgusted. - "And you will be a fine roasted piece of meat after I'm done with you."
  1150. [9:10 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The claws are thick, black, as wide as the man's waist.
  1151. [9:10 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Anything else, Alicia?
  1152. [9:10 PM] Mizuki: "He's here everyone!" - She shouted, muttering incantations and sending a fireball flying against the thing's face!
  1153. [9:10 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ...
  1154. [9:10 PM] Mizuki: sculpting her out
  1155. [9:11 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: No matter how you place the fireball, it'll burst 20ft
  1156. [9:11 PM] Eon: (And hit friends)
  1157. [9:11 PM] Mizuki: (and?)
  1158. [9:11 PM] Runic: (Here we go again :I)
  1159. [9:11 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: expected area
  1160.  
  1161. [9:11 PM] Eon: (You can't sculpt people you can't see)(edited)
  1162. [9:11 PM] Mizuki: whoops tehehe)
  1163. [9:11 PM] Mizuki: nevermind then!
  1164. [9:11 PM] Eon: (Wall block LoS yadda yadda)
  1165. [9:11 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: A bit smaller, but covers the same people.
  1166. [9:11 PM] Runic: ( >:( )
  1167. [9:12 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (>tehehe)
  1168. [9:12 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (> TE HE HE )
  1169. [9:12 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ( do it anyways :excitedfish: )
  1170. [9:13 PM] Mizuki: Instead of a fireball, she prepares a scorching ray and hurls the bolts against the shapeshifter!
  1171. [9:13 PM] Mizuki: roll 2d20 first disadvantage

  1193. [9:14 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... The fire, once again, seems to dance off the creature's skin.
  1194. [9:15 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It left only the smallest of singe mark. It worked, but not well.
  1195. [9:15 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: [Resists fire!]
  1196. [9:15 PM] Faerie: (Fug)
  1197. [9:15 PM] Mizuki: She rises her shield, bracing herself for the thing's strikes.
  1198. [9:15 PM] Mizuki: pass
  1199. [9:15 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Lexon's turn.
  1200. [9:15 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "hey, let's make a dealllll." The creature makes a singsong voice in Alicia's head.
  1201. [9:16 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "I'll kill myself, if you'll eat a piece of me AHAHHAHAHA!"
  1202. [9:16 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It's irrevolkably insane, it seems?
  1203. [9:16 PM] Eon: (Moooooom, the GM keeps trying to make us eat monsters)
  1204. [9:16 PM] Runic: With the Elf shapeshifter's location located, he rushes toward the direction where Alicia went, running past the illusionary wall, and meeting the enemy
  1205. [9:16 PM] Runic: "There you are you bastard, nice find Alicia!"
  1206. [9:16 PM] Mizuki: She spits on the thing. - "You're gross."
  1207. [9:17 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It grins, seemingly undeterred.(edited)
  1208. [9:17 PM] Runic: Without skipping a beat, Lexon rushes in and attempts to uppercut the dude!

  1226. [9:18 PM] Bot Fodder: (Ye-- No?)
  1227. [9:19 PM] Eon: (I don't know what he is supposed to be anymore >.>)
  1228. [9:19 PM] Runic: (I get Ki from alcohol, and use them for the punchy moves, so yes-no)
  1229. [9:19 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... Anything else?
  1230. [9:19 PM] Mizuki: (n-no sneak attack? ;_; It needs a finesse weapon, right?)
  1231. [9:20 PM] Faerie: (DOES LEXON HAVE FLURRY?)
  1232. [9:20 PM] Runic: With quick movements Lexon goes for the grab, using his speed, he lunges and grabs the Elf, attempting to ring his neck
  1233. [9:20 PM] Runic: roll 1d20+12 athletics check

  1241. [9:20 PM] Faerie: (Fuck, god bless)
  1242. [9:21 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "The hypotenus of ipsom salt..." His telepathy mutters.
  1243. [9:21 PM] Eon: (... Are you adding your prof bonus to your damage rolls?)
  1244. [9:21 PM] Runic: Alright end turn

  1247. [9:21 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The elf's form melts in your grasp, Lexon. Just enough to reveal what you are grappling.
  1248. [9:21 PM] Mizuki: (you don't add prof to damage!)
  1249. [9:22 PM] Eon: (you don't add prof to damage >.>)
  1250. [9:22 PM] Runic: (Oh...)
  1251. [9:22 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The elven skin sheds, revealing a thick, black, frog-like monster, with giant claws and maws.
  1252. [9:22 PM] Mizuki: (Wizard Bonus™)
  1253. [9:22 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Taking a look between you and Alicia, it goes for the target best for a breeding bed for younglings.
  1254. [9:22 PM] Runic: "Ugly," Lexon mutters
  1255. [9:22 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The arcane caster.

  1265. [9:23 PM] Mizuki: Alicia blocks both strikes effortless!
  1266. [9:23 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: second went for Lexon.
  1267. [9:23 PM] Runic: (Thought it was gonna go for Lexon for a sec imhotbh)
  1268. [9:23 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Since you didn't reaction cast Shield, all good.

  1276. [9:23 PM] Bot Fodder: (Jesus)
  1277. [9:23 PM] Eon: Esker hears the sounds of fire and a fist connecting. Well, that was a giveaway.. Shouting for her companions to take a deep breath, she commands Nul to wallop the interloper.
  1278. [9:23 PM] Eon: ... And tell her what it looks like on the way back.
  1279.

  1287. [9:24 PM] Eon: Nul moves back, inviting an opportunity attack.
  1288. [9:24 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It's a frog like creature, black all over, and horrifying in look.
  1289. [9:25 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It ignores the elemental.
  1290. [9:25 PM] Eon: "Well then." Esker blinks.
  1291. [9:25 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Skubulb. Muse lux."
  1292. [9:25 PM] Eon: Stepping out of the adorable poisonous cloud..

  1308. [9:27 PM] Eon: (SMITE IT GOOD, RAZBOY)
  1309. [9:27 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You feel a surge of confidence... Oh, wait, just you. Moving very fast.
  1310. [9:27 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The world slows, just a little.
  1311. [9:27 PM] Eon: (it also regenerates, so.. that's something to keep in mind.)
  1312. [9:27 PM] Faerie: ''...!?''
  1313. [9:28 PM] Faerie: Razmik's expression grows severe. Really? This is a question Razmik needs no answer for, his sense of hearing guiding him to the fledgling Archmage's warning, worrysome. To worry about, that is.
  1314. [9:28 PM] Faerie: Dare you threaten our Alicia, again? Vampire or not, such a slight is simply unforgivable. Leaping in and parting the air downwards, Razmik greets the kooky figure with Salamander. The strike sails past Lexon, and...
  1315. [9:28 PM] Faerie: roll 1d20+9 attack
  1316. [9:28 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+9]: 5, Result: 14

  1320. [9:28 PM] Eon: (didn't three of us have bless)
  1321. [9:28 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (No)
  1322. [9:28 PM] Faerie: ''LET GO OF THEM!''
  1323. [9:29 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (No vision to throw bless on)
  1324. [9:29 PM] Faerie: ((I couldn't cast Bless))
  1325. [9:29 PM] Mizuki: (excuse-me Alicia does not have an owner :MakiTomato:)

  1331. [9:29 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: That's a hit,
  1332. [9:29 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Note: The wall blocks vision.
  1333. [9:29 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: If others want to join the fight, or to not fire blindly, you need to either drag it into the hallway, or retreat.

  1337. [9:30 PM] Faerie: Bonus action, Wrathful Smite
  1338. [9:30 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Wew, you need to cast wrathful smite before you hit.
  1339. [9:30 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Or rather, before you hit confirm.
  1340. [9:30 PM] Faerie: (Yeah, my bad. For the next one then)
  1341. [9:30 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: But I'll let it slide-

  1380. [9:33 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [2d6]: 6,5, Result: 11
  1381. [9:33 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Surprised by the burst of speed, the creature screams as your blade cuts through it! It quickly regenerates to hold itself together, but its internal organ's likely a mess of fire and radiance.
  1382. [9:33 PM] Faerie: DC 15 against Frighten, Pass
  1383. [9:33 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... total: 86 damage.

  1392. [9:34 PM] Faerie: Everything, all engraved into Salamander!
  1393. [9:34 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The illusionary wall still blocks your sight; if you are to reach and strike, it would be at a disadvantage.
  1394. [9:35 PM] Bot Fodder: (Ahhh, right, the wall. :sadpopo: )
  1395. [9:35 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (... i was thinking that maybe one of you would take a provoke and step out)
  1396. [9:35 PM] Faerie: (W-wait did I just burn 3 spells?)
  1397. [9:35 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (but well, seems ok)

  1404. [9:36 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (brb washroom)
  1405. [9:36 PM] Bot Fodder: (Is there any chance John might hit an ally? Actually, no, John can't see past the wall, so he wouldn't be able to do anything regardless.)
  1406. [9:37 PM] Faerie: (In no uncertain terms, Razmik offers to ferry it to the boundary beyond for real, past the clutches of undeath)
  1407. [9:37 PM] Eon: (I reccomend you Ready, and have Lexon pull the bugger with grapple)
  1408. [9:38 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You can guess its location, and strike,
  1409. [9:38 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: and given your allies, you can guarantee your guess.
  1410. [9:38 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: However, you would still be striking at a disadvantage due to uncertain location.
  1411. [9:38 PM] Bot Fodder: John picks up his spear, but can't get in past the wall due to all the crowding! "I can't see it!" he shouts, waiting anxiously outside. (Pass :sadpopo: )
  1412.  
  1413. [9:39 PM] Bot Fodder: (Ready action to hit an enemy if it comes out.)

  1416. [9:39 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Alicia.
  1417. [9:39 PM] Bot Fodder: (Oh, and he's standing next to the wall, of course.)(edited)
  1418. [9:40 PM] Eon: Esker quietly wonders how cramped that room is, given John deigned to stand outside of it..(edited)
  1419. [9:40 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Given the roasting tactics, you probably want to clear path for Lexon to move.
  1420. [9:40 PM] KogasaGaSagasa:
  1421.  
  1422. [9:40 PM] Eon: (this is like one of those sliding puzzles)
  1423. [9:40 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Oh, right - there are small slits for air flow in the 10x10 room, and a crumbled coffin.
  1424. [9:40 PM] Mizuki: Alicia memorizes the thing's location and steps out of the illusory wall, running behind Razmik.
  1425. [9:41 PM] Faerie: (Wait fuck was that like over 100 damage)
  1426. [9:41 PM] Mizuki: (get me if you can!)
  1427. [9:41 PM] Faerie: (What the fuck is going on)

  1466. [9:44 PM] Bot Fodder: (He just wants to lay eggs in Alicia, he's not such a bad guy)
  1467. [9:44 PM] Mizuki: "Mfmm." - Alicia muffles a scream of pain as the thing's claws pierce through her skin. It's fine though, nothing to worry about!
  1468. [9:44 PM] Runic: (The thing has some weird syringe fingers!)
  1469. [9:44 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ....

  1488. [9:47 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Yeah, Lexon, go.
  1489. [9:47 PM] Eon: ... As a side, can Esker guess what type of creature that thing is?
  1490. [9:47 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It's an aberration.

  1511. [9:50 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Seems good to me!)
  1512. [9:50 PM] Mizuki: (cool)
  1513. [9:50 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ( :ok_hand: )
  1514. [9:50 PM] Eon: (oh.)
  1515. [9:50 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (don't forget memer belter)
  1516. [9:50 PM] Eon: (nvm me)
  1517. [9:50 PM] Bot Fodder: John doesn't have a clue what it is that Lexon just dragged out, but he knows it's not an ally, and his reflexes know the rest. His spear shoots out to pierce it!
  1518. [9:51 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Reaction triggers for John first.
  1519. [9:51 PM] Mizuki: (yeah, I forgot about that)
  1520. [9:51 PM] Runic: The assualt continues! Lexon then drops his dagger and goes for the punches!
  1521. [9:51 PM] Bot Fodder: roll 1d20+12
  1522. [9:51 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+12]: 3, Result: 15
  1523. [9:51 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: 15 is a miss on John's part,
  1524. [9:51 PM] Runic: (Wait, I can't do flurry blows I don't think)
  1525. [9:52 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Dagger is a
  1526. Monk weapon)
  1527. [9:52 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (So you can.)
  1528. [9:52 PM] Runic: (Flurry of blows are unarmed strikes!)
  1529. [9:52 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (You can flurry after you striek with any monk weapons, as long as your attacks are unarmed after)
  1530. [9:52 PM] Bot Fodder: (Fug, I forgot about Precision Attack, but too late now. Carry on.)
  1531. [9:52 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (You can slam, kick, teabag, headbutt, or whatever)
  1532. [9:53 PM] Runic: (Oh then I'll headbutt then!)
  1533. [9:53 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (You can do whatever you want mah african american bratha.)
  1534. [9:53 PM] Runic: Flurry of blows! Lexon starts headbutting the frogman from behind
  1535. [9:53 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Flurry: First hit, go.
  1536. [9:53 PM] Runic: roll 2d20+10 unarmed strikes
  1537. [9:53 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [2d20+10]: 8,13, Result: 31
  1538. [9:54 PM] Runic: (Better just to proc both of them I feel like)
  1539. [9:54 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Ah, seems good.
  1540. [9:54 PM] Runic: 18 and 23
  1541. [9:54 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Both connects squarely.
  1542. [9:54 PM] Runic: roll 2d4 +6
  1543. [9:54 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [2d4]: 4,1, Result: 5
  1544. [9:54 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The first hit drew blood, the second fractured the thing's horn.
  1545. [9:54 PM] Runic: 10 and 7
  1546. [9:54 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Your forehead? Unharmed.
  1547. [9:55 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ...
  1548. [9:55 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Alicia, sorry.
  1549. [9:55 PM] Runic: Also both cause Stunning Strike (cuz why not) two DC WIZ 12 Saves!
  1550. [9:55 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The thing's eye goes blank.
  1551. [9:55 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The fractured horn has pierced into its brain, killing it.
  1552. [9:55 PM] Runic: (FUCK, it's already dead)
  1553. [9:55 PM] Runic: (Was hoping to stun something for once)
  1554. [9:55 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It twitches a bit, seeping blood, and falls limp in Lexon's grasp.
  1555. [9:55 PM] Eon: Esker glares at the abomination. Aberration this, aberration that.. Its like Orixia is a vacation tourist spot for the things that should not be, between the mind flayers, aboleths, sl- whatever this thing was, and all the Great Old Ones. At least she was still sane! She thinks.
  1556. But that was neither here nor there. She nocks the Arrow of Returning Aberration Slaying onto the Starbow, and lets loose.
  1557. "Ma-
  1558. [9:56 PM] Eon: :cryingpopo:
  1559. [9:56 PM] Runic: "I think I knocked it out"
  1560. [9:56 PM] Mizuki: The spell fizzles on Alicia's hand. - "Eh..."
  1561. [9:56 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: DING DING DING, combat's over.
  1562. [9:56 PM] Eon: Esker sighs, and returns the arrow to her side.
  1563. [9:56 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Winrar: Lexon!
  1564. [9:56 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (who killstealed from all of you with ready'd actions)
  1565. [9:56 PM] Eon: (your free trial period has expired, winrar is not a free..)
  1566. [9:57 PM] Runic: Lexon shakes the frogman, "Er. Maybe a little more than that now that I think about it"
  1567. [9:57 PM] Runic: ( clicks x )
  1568. [9:57 PM] Eon: "You probably.. shouldn't touch it."
  1569. [9:57 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The battered and bruised corpse is that of a Death Slaad, a creature of Limbo, the plane of chaos.
  1570. [9:57 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... Closely adjacent to Plane of Dreams.
  1571. [9:57 PM] Eon: That said.. She wonders if Elerith is coming down. Where was Nirvain, anyway?
  1572. [9:57 PM] Mizuki: Alicia checks on her wound. Apparently whatever that thing was planning didn't really take effect.
  1573. [9:58 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: This all finished in 10 seconds, or so.
  1574. [9:58 PM] Runic: Lexon drops the body of the Death Slaad having it land face first, seeing as he has no reason to restrain something thats dead(edited)
  1575. [9:58 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Elerith will be here in a minute.
  1576. [9:58 PM] Mizuki: It gives her the chills just by thinking about it, she shakes her head disgusted.
  1577. [9:58 PM] Eon: A Death Salad! Now that doesn't sound appetising. Oh, a Slaad, gotcha.
  1578. [9:58 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Nirvain walks back in, still coughing and spitting from the deadly cloud.
  1579. [9:58 PM] Bot Fodder: John takes a rare moment to tilt his helm so he can wipe his brow. "Geez. I shouldn't even try to guess what the things we fight are."
  1580. [9:58 PM] Bot Fodder: "Everyone all right?"
  1581.  
  1582. [9:59 PM] Eon: "Bah, and I was going to ask Elerith to telepath him to communicate."
  1583. [9:59 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Y-yeah." Nirvain seem shakened.
  1584. [9:59 PM] Runic: "Yeah..." Lexon responds casually
  1585. [9:59 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... Elerith comes down in about a minute. "...?"
  1586. [9:59 PM] Runic: "Anyway how you holding up Alicia?"
  1587. [9:59 PM] Eon: "You can take a break, Nirvain, you look like.."
  1588. [9:59 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: With her is Shadow, escorting the lady knight.
  1589. [9:59 PM] Eon: Esker explains the situation.
  1590. [9:59 PM] Bot Fodder: "--And, wait, is it dead for real, or just unconscious?" the guard asks, already preparing to deliver the finishing skewer.(edited)
  1591. [9:59 PM] Eon: ... Well, maybe Elerith could shed some light on the aberration.
  1592. [10:00 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Elerith looks at the Death Slaad.
  1593. [10:00 PM] Mizuki: "I'm fine..." - Said the girl cleaning the blood from her forehead and taking a deep breath. - "That cloud was the worst part of it."
  1594. [10:00 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d20
  1595. [10:00 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20]: 4, Result: 4
  1596. [10:00 PM] Runic: "Well its not breathing, so I assume I killed it"
  1597. [10:00 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: And looks back at Esker.
  1598. [10:00 PM] Eon: "I'm.. perfectly fine." Esker notes, not a scratch on her!
  1599. [10:00 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "...?"
  1600. [10:00 PM] Eon: "..."
  1601. [10:00 PM] Mizuki: [second wind]
  1602. [10:00 PM] Mizuki: roll 1d10+2
  1603. [10:00 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d10+2]: 1, Result: 3
  1604. [10:00 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Uh..." Shadow looks at the creature.
  1605. [10:00 PM] Eon: "Well then. This is awkward."
  1606. [10:00 PM] Bot Fodder: "Biological weapons are foul play!" John says, nodding to Alicia in agreement.
  1607. [10:00 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: He resists urge to poke at it with Godsbane.
  1608. [10:00 PM] Eon: "..!" When did Shadow get here?
  1609. [10:01 PM] Faerie: (Sorry, had to bail again, what hap)
  1610. [10:01 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Hey, sup? I walked Elerith down here, just in case there's traps."
  1611. [10:01 PM] Eon: (it ded)
  1612. [10:01 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Shadow explains for your benefit, Esker.
  1613. [10:01 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Seeing as Shadow can emergency Dimension Door, it was reasonable enough.
  1614. [10:01 PM] Eon: "Ah, well then.. I was going to have Elerith telepath because the form he shapechanged into had no tongue and we assumed he was friendly and then.."
  1615. [10:02 PM] Eon: Yadda yadda. She explains the rest.
  1616. [10:02 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Elerith nods. And fidgets a little.
  1617. [10:02 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Nirvain coughs and clears the foul taste from her mouth.
  1618. [10:02 PM] Eon: As a side, Esker will ask how Elerith is feeling after the whole King in Yellow thing.
  1619. [10:02 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... Uh. Mind if I escort you back to the tower, Nirvain?" Shadow inquires. "You don't look too well."
  1620. [10:02 PM] Mizuki: "Raz, got anything to patch me up a bit?" - Asked Alicia showing her back to him, the place the beast struck when she moved out of Lexon's way.
  1621. [10:03 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Elerith nods, seemingly alright. Or even decent.
  1622. [10:03 PM] Bot Fodder: "Ahaha. I guess we've been relying on you folks quite a bit, lately." John chuckles and grins sheepishly at Elerith and the now-caught-up Nirvain.
  1623. [10:03 PM] Eon: Esker nods. She'll suggest they do it like pokemon and swap Nirvan for Elerith
  1624. [10:03 PM] Eon: Nirvain looked like shit.
  1625.  
  1626. [10:04 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Shadow examines the area, suspicious of things.
  1627. [10:04 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d20
  1628. [10:04 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20]: 19, Result: 19
  1629. [10:04 PM] Mizuki: "Yeah Nirvain, get back in the tower, you look worse than me." - She said smiling.
  1630. [10:04 PM] Faerie: Indeed! Still hasted, Razmik is all too quick to patch Alicia back up.
  1631. [10:04 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Doing what he does the best before he leads Nirvain back,
  1632. [10:04 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Hey, fam, there are secret walls... Secret air holes in there, coffins..."
  1633. [10:04 PM] Mizuki: (heal me up Raz)
  1634. [10:04 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... Vampire coffins, cool."
  1635. [10:04 PM] Eon: "Err, Raz, heads up." Irreverent, Esker drops Haste as Raz patches up Alicia.
  1636. [10:05 PM] Faerie: ''This alright/Where does it hurt?/Give me your hand for a second'', is what he musters as Razmik blurs around Alicia
  1637. [10:05 PM] Faerie: (how much are you missing?)(edited)
  1638. [10:05 PM] Mizuki: (34)
  1639. [10:05 PM] Eon: "Yeah, the interloper hid in one of those. Probably worth a look."
  1640. [10:05 PM] Faerie: (...Heal back to full)
  1641. [10:05 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Shadow tl;dr's it. The air holes are likely used by the vampires to escape back into the coffins, via mist form, during a state of emergency. But it seems that most of the coffins are empty now.
  1642. [10:05 PM] Mizuki: (shit, simple like that?)
  1643. [10:06 PM] Mizuki: (a-alright)
  1644. [10:06 PM] Eon: "Lets smash the coffins, then."
  1645. [10:06 PM] Eon: Continuing her irreverence, she suggests it casually.
  1646. [10:06 PM] Mizuki: "Thanks..." - She said covering her back again blushing a little.
  1647. [10:06 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The coffins seems mass-produced and not very ornate, suggesting that its coffins for lesser vampires.
  1648. [10:06 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Or something that the vampires extracted from mass graves and used as bed, or something. Bunker rooms, in other words.
  1649. [10:06 PM] Faerie: Razmik gladly channels into Alicia, the still currents of his touch running deep indeed.
  1650. [10:06 PM] Faerie: (Who else's hurt?)
  1651. [10:07 PM] Eon: "Anyhow, what was that thing doing down here? I thought this was a vampire tower."(edited)
  1652. [10:07 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Nirvain's hurt, but she'll recover back in Augus's hands)
  1653. [10:07 PM] Eon: (she likes it that way, doesn't she)
  1654. [10:07 PM] Runic: "Also lets try to plug up the holes too" Lexon suggests, he looks at the holes wondering if his spare bottles can fit
  1655. [10:07 PM] Bot Fodder: ( :troubledko-- nah, it's too obvious.)
  1656. [10:07 PM] Mizuki: (what do I roll to see what I know about Slaads? Arcana again?)
  1657.  
  1658. [10:07 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Sure.
  1659. [10:07 PM] Mizuki: roll 1d20+9
  1660. [10:07 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+9]: 2, Result: 11
  1661. [10:07 PM] Bot Fodder: John seems right as rain, for the most part. (2 TempHP remaining.)
  1662. [10:07 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... Shadow leads Nirvain back to the tower.
  1663. [10:08 PM] Eon: Esker is in perfect condition.
  1664. [10:08 PM] Eon: She's still peppy from Raz's speech earlier, even!
  1665. [10:08 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Druids being immune to poison is funtime.)
  1666. [10:08 PM] Eon: ... Of course, being able to yawn inside a Cloudkill helps.
  1667. [10:08 PM] Mizuki: (wait, question)
  1668.  
  1669. [10:08 PM] Mizuki: (hp from inspiring leader and aid heal?)
  1670. [10:08 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You know that Slaads are creature of chaos.
  1671. [10:08 PM] Faerie: Razmik's at.... 98/95, thanks to Aid
  1672. [10:09 PM] Eon: "Anyhow, I think we can agree to shoot the next thing we see on sight."
  1673. [10:09 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: For loot, you have...
  1674. [10:09 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: A greatsword.
  1675. [10:09 PM] Faerie: (No, they don't heal, but you had 23 more HP as a 'buffer' of sorts)
  1676. [10:09 PM] Runic: (Lexon is at 61/72, so he's still pretty good)
  1677. [10:09 PM] Eon: Esker wanted to believe, for a second, but it appears there was really nothing to be trusted, down here..
  1678. [10:09 PM] Mizuki: (wew, you wasted that heal then, I think)
  1679. [10:09 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: And the slaad's gear - which amounts to a tattered belt, with a book on the side.
  1680. [10:09 PM] Mizuki: (sorry)
  1681. [10:09 PM] Eon: A book..?
  1682. [10:09 PM] Faerie: (So apply 13 to THP before real HP, which should be 66+10 from Aid)
  1683. [10:09 PM] Runic: Anything special about the greatsword? Lexon examines
  1684. [10:09 PM] Eon: Esker walks over.
  1685.  
  1686. [10:10 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The greatsword is unadorned and seems nonmagical...?
  1687. [10:10 PM] Faerie: (Tl; dr you had 76 max HP and 13 THP)
  1688. [10:10 PM] Eon: She hesistates, what kind of demented scrawlings would it contain?
  1689. [10:10 PM] Eon: Well, only one way to find out.
  1690. [10:10 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The places that the creature held it is blackened from its touch.
  1691. [10:10 PM] Mizuki: (nice)
  1692. [10:10 PM] Faerie: (Does that change anything, Mizu?)
  1693. [10:10 PM] Faerie: (Like, how much were you missing total?)
  1694. [10:10 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The book is a journal recorded in
  1695. [10:10 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Slaadi.
  1696. [10:10 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: :rainbowpopo:
  1697. [10:10 PM] Eon: "..."
  1698. [10:11 PM] Eon: "They write? Hmm."
  1699. [10:11 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Normally, Slaadi do not have a written format, and the language is hard to understand.
  1700. [10:11 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It's a jumble of mess without a way to comprehend it.
  1701. [10:11 PM] Eon: She'll keep it around until they find someone sensible enough to have Comprehend Languages around in a spellbook.
  1702. [10:11 PM] Mizuki: (around 22 then Fae, counting aid)
  1703. [10:11 PM] Faerie: Razmik still takes his sweet time with Alicia. ''...Sorry for babying you, I know you're better than that. Does it feel better now?''
  1704. Following that, he asks if anyone else needs post-combat aid
  1705.  
  1706. [10:11 PM] Faerie: (Then heal for 22 instead)
  1707. [10:11 PM] Runic: "I can probably throw this at something" Lexon mutters, before taking the greatsword and nonchalantly strapping it on his back(edited)
  1708. [10:11 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: A cursory scan, however, suggests a few things.
  1709. [10:12 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It's a research journal, with illustrations.
  1710. [10:12 PM] Eon: "Anyhow. We should press on, it appears they are expecting us already."
  1711. [10:12 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Colorful illustrations.
  1712. [10:12 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... The slaadi seems to be studying... Something.
  1713. [10:12 PM] Eon: "Curious, though.. A journal like this in Slaadi?"
  1714. [10:12 PM] Mizuki: She stares at the paladin. - "Yeah, I'm fine thanks."
  1715. [10:12 PM] Faerie: (Shit, stop making Raz worry about Alicia)
  1716. [10:12 PM] Bot Fodder: "What were they researching?" a guard asks.
  1717. [10:12 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You may investigate the journey for some clues...(edited)
  1718. [10:12 PM] Eon: ... She didn't quite imagine that beings of chaos were very inclined to clinical research, so this is a surprise.
  1719. [10:12 PM] Mizuki: "And like I said before, don't treat me like a baby." - She finished. He was younger than her.
  1720. [10:13 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Elerith: "..."
  1721. [10:13 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: She's still around, looking at the party curiously.
  1722. [10:13 PM] Eon: "Recognise them?" She'll show the resident aberration expert the illustrations.
  1723. [10:13 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: She looks at it...
  1724. [10:13 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d20
  1725. [10:13 PM] Eon: No, not that one, the other one.
  1726. [10:13 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20]: 8, Result: 8
  1727. [10:13 PM] Bot Fodder: John knows he's no match for the big, intimidating tomes and logs, so he sticks to searching for clues in his surroundings. Hidden doors or mechanisms, traces of experiments, and so on.
  1728. [10:13 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... And shrugs. ".. My drawing... Not as pretty."
  1729. [10:14 PM] Faerie: ''Yeah, fine... it hurts when you hurt, don't hold it against me'', he replies frankly. ''Still, that could have been worse''
  1730. [10:14 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: She's a little resentful of the research drawings.
  1731. [10:14 PM] Eon: ... In that case, she'll show it to the other abberation expert.
  1732. [10:14 PM] Mizuki: "Let me take a look at that, Esker." - Said Alicia approaching her.
  1733. [10:14 PM] Eon: "Hey, Alicia."
  1734.  
  1735. [10:14 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... Investigation.
  1736. [10:14 PM] Mizuki: roll 1d20+9 :NicoSmug:
  1737. [10:14 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+9]: 18, Result: 27
  1738. [10:14 PM] Eon: ... She'll slap on Guidance.
  1739. [10:14 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ...
  1740. [10:14 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d4
  1741. [10:14 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d4]: 4, Result: 4
  1742. [10:14 PM] Mizuki: roll 1d4
  1743. [10:14 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d4]: 1, Result: 1
  1744. [10:14 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... Alright, then.
  1745. [10:14 PM] Eon: >31...?
  1746. [10:15 PM] Bot Fodder: (Do I roll too?)
  1747. [10:15 PM] Faerie: Razmik stands ready to help anyone, should they decide to ask for his opinion on the findings. (Help)
  1748. [10:15 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You... Gained some insight into the research, Alicia.
  1749. [10:15 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It's a research manual into
  1750. [10:15 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: the nature of Nightmares and Dreams
  1751. [10:15 PM] Faerie: (DAMN)
  1752. [10:15 PM] Mizuki: She flips the pages surprised. - "This..."
  1753. [10:15 PM] Eon: "Hmm?"
  1754. [10:15 PM] Eon: Esker blinks innocently.
  1755. [10:16 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It seems to be hinting at splicing... Nightmares and Dreams, something of a Highly Mutatable material, as organic replacement for other beings.
  1756. [10:16 PM] Bot Fodder: Well... it's only natural that powerful beings would soon realize the nature of their world. As would anyone in close contact with outside powers. Johns rubs his chin, pondering.
  1757. [10:16 PM] Faerie: Still slightly miffed, Razmik exhales air, dedicating himself to arm-stretches as Alicia does her part explaining.
  1758. [10:17 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: And if the creature can be recognized as "real", they can enter the Prime Material. Of special note is how the Nightmare seems to be able to ... Spread, in the Prime Material, corrupting it into Dreamstuff.
  1759. [10:17 PM] Faerie: He eyes everyone else up, keen on finding any un-announced wounds from the Slaad.
  1760. [10:17 PM] Runic: Lexon is curious despite not quite understanding everything clearly
  1761. [10:17 PM] Mizuki: "Research about the nature of nightmares and dreams." - She looked at the others surprised. Not like saying something like that in front of Elerith would break the script.
  1762. [10:17 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It seems to be studying, at length, the Great Old Ones, as well, and their relation to dreams and nightmares via the Dreamland.
  1763. [10:17 PM] Mizuki: "We can talk about the details later, yes?" - She said, glancing at Elerith stealthily.(edited)
  1764. [10:18 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: With only pictures, you are unable to make anything TOO conclusive,
  1765. [10:18 PM] Bot Fodder: (What about the gods that claim dreams as part of their domains, too...?)
  1766. [10:18 PM] Eon: ... While listening, Esker will try to examine the Slaad, trying to glimpse an understanding into how it ticks.
  1767. [10:18 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: But it's likely that the slaad's looking for a way to turn your real world, into Nightmare, using Great Old Ones as a bridge.
  1768. [10:18 PM] Eon: "I imagine we'll gleam the full picture if we can actually read the script."
  1769. [10:18 PM] Faerie: ''That's... fine, I suppose. Nice find, even if this all seems a bit misplaced.''
  1770. [10:19 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It studied into... Transmutating its eggs that it can inject, to inject people that dreams... And releasing them into the real world as well.
  1771. [10:19 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Alicia, Wisdom save.
  1772. [10:19 PM] Mizuki: roll 1d20+5
  1773. [10:19 PM] Eon: Those claws.. she was careful not to touch them, but that sounded like a method of.. reproduction?
  1774. [10:19 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+5]: 7, Result: 12
  1775. [10:19 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: .... You are horrified.
  1776. [10:19 PM] Faerie: Razmik envies the casters' insight on such matters, to some degree. He looks for signs of infection on his own body...
  1777. [10:19 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You are frightened for a minute, and realized that, if you were infected,
  1778. [10:19 PM] Eon: (Festering fear, consumes the mind!)
  1779. [10:19 PM] Faerie: No.
  1780. [10:20 PM] Faerie: Aura of Courage
  1781. [10:20 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Ok, you are NOT frightened.
  1782. [10:20 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: :sadpopo:
  1783. [10:20 PM] Eon: (paladins man, the memery)
  1784. [10:20 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You would've carried Nightmare into Faerun, slowly turning the world into the Realm of Nightmare, if you were infected by the Slaad's eggs.
  1785. [10:20 PM] Mizuki: Cool, but please finish the phrase :sadpopo:
  1786. [10:20 PM] Faerie: Razmik's presence - or was it, really? It would be hard to assume as much from the hapless paladin, at any rate...
  1787. [10:20 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Alternatively Bad End.jpg)
  1788. [10:20 PM] Eon: (good god)
  1789. [10:20 PM] Eon: (Koga you made it worse than normal slaad)
  1790. [10:20 PM] Eon: (I'm impressed)
  1791. [10:20 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (way worse.)
  1792. [10:20 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ( :happypopo: )
  1793. [10:20 PM] Mizuki: Alicia closes the book, a bit shaky.
  1794. [10:20 PM] Faerie: He stands by Alicia, either way, steadfast. If anything, she had his support.
  1795. [10:21 PM] Eon: (very nicely done)
  1796.  
  1797. [10:21 PM] Mizuki: And pushes it back on Esker's hands. - "Just a thing."
  1798. [10:21 PM] Bot Fodder: "...Well, good thing we got it, then!" John cheerfully considers the case closed just like that. His defense mechanisms are strong indeed.
  1799. [10:21 PM] Mizuki: "If we find one of those guys again, don't get hit like I did."
  1800. [10:21 PM] Eon: "Mmm?" Esker looks up from her intense staring at the Sladdi corpse.(edited)
  1801. [10:22 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It doesn't squirm or anything. If it had any spawns within, they are dead now.
  1802. [10:22 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... Maybe?
  1803. [10:22 PM] Eon: If there's a check to inspect the corpse, I'll slap myself with Guidance.
  1804. [10:22 PM] Faerie: '...won't happen again', Razmik vows to himself.
  1805. [10:22 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Nah, mah familia.
  1806. [10:22 PM] Mizuki: "This is... very important." - She said staring at mainly, Esker.(edited)
  1807. [10:22 PM] Bot Fodder: "Wanna burn it to be sure?" John suggests.
  1808. [10:22 PM] Runic: Lexon nods understanding the reason, whatever it was, being extremely grave
  1809. [10:23 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You can dissect or burn the body however you like.
  1810. [10:23 PM] Eon: "I understand."
  1811. [10:23 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Elerith doesn't really seem to understand your conversation.
  1812. [10:23 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: She tilts her head. "...?"
  1813. [10:23 PM] Eon: "Lets just burn the body and be done with it, doubt you want to give funeral rites, either."
  1814. [10:23 PM] Bot Fodder: (tl;dr for Lexon: If it lays eggs in you and you go home, bad stuff happens)
  1815. [10:23 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (You get an enforced Bad End, basically)
  1816. [10:23 PM] Eon: Esker pets Elerith and ruffles her.
  1817. [10:23 PM] Faerie: Not everyone else, not himself, and most of all not Alicia. How many times would it have to happen again? ''Next time we see a Slaad, can we...''
  1818. [10:24 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: But now you know.
  1819. [10:24 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: And knowing is half the battle!
  1820. [10:24 PM] Bot Fodder: And kno-- fuck.
  1821. [10:24 PM] Faerie: ''Can we keep it from infecting anyone? I don't like the sound of those things one bit.''
  1822. [10:24 PM] Eon: "... You must be used to not understanding things. Sorry." She affirms.
  1823.  
  1824. [10:24 PM] Eon: "Perhaps its like a disease or ailment?"
  1825. [10:24 PM] Eon: "Razmik and I might be able to.. cleanse it."
  1826. [10:24 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Elerith nods. "It's ok." She says in telepathy.
  1827. [10:24 PM] Mizuki: Alicia incinerates the Slaad's body with a firebolt. - "Fuck this guy."
  1828. [10:25 PM] Runic: Lexon thanks John for the explanation
  1829. [10:25 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The slaad's body burns...
  1830. [10:25 PM] Eon: "Anyhow, I suggest we shoot anything unfamiliar on sight."
  1831. [10:25 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... and... a single gem remains behind, shining with a ruby red glint.
  1832. [10:25 PM] Eon: "The risk otherwise is too grave."
  1833. [10:25 PM] Faerie: Razmik burns its ashes twicemore, featuring the Salamander.
  1834. [10:25 PM] Runic: "Yeah... " Lexon says agreeing this time
  1835. [10:25 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It's a Slaad control gem, of extremely high quality. It's capable of influencing slaads of lower ranks, and is worth a bit of money.
  1836. [10:25 PM] Eon: (fuck, what if I Conjure Animals and they get infected)
  1837. [10:25 PM] Eon: (does the Feywild get fucked)
  1838. [10:26 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (FUNNY SHIT HAPPENS ESKER.)
  1839. [10:26 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (j/k)
  1840. [10:26 PM] Faerie: ''May you, even, find rest after this trial.'', Razmik speaks bitterly
  1841. [10:26 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Summoned creatures aren't dreaming, so they can't "carry" it)
  1842. [10:26 PM] Mizuki: "It's a pity, but yes." - Agreed Alicia - "Too dangerous, attack things on sight."
  1843. [10:26 PM] Bot Fodder: John looks for anything else of interest. Any rooms unexplored?
  1844.  
  1845. [10:27 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: There are several dozen side rooms, all 10x10.
  1846. [10:27 PM] Mizuki: The girl takes the gem from the floor.
  1847. [10:27 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: They are mostly for vampires to rest in.
  1848. [10:27 PM] Faerie: He does not like this one bit; even those turned away from Life should be able to rest properly
  1849. [10:27 PM] Mizuki: (will get some water, brb)
  1850. [10:27 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Low-ranked vampires - higher ranked vampired lived in the tower above.
  1851. [10:27 PM] Faerie: Even fiends, figurative or literal, deserved as much.
  1852. [10:27 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Guess what happened to their rooms Kappa)
  1853.  
  1854. [10:27 PM] Eon: "Hmm. Let us press on, then."
  1855. [10:27 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The lower ranked vampires didn't have much of anything of note - but the coffins,
  1856. [10:28 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: are made of wood.
  1857. [10:28 PM] Eon: "Doubt we'll find much of value in these coffins."
  1858. [10:28 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (This is where you are supposed to get wooden stakes)
  1859. [10:28 PM] Eon: :thinking:
  1860. [10:28 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ( :sadpopo: )
  1861. [10:28 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (In case nobody had anything)
  1862. [10:28 PM] Eon: (fug off GM, thinking we need your handouts)
  1863.  
  1864. [10:28 PM] Faerie: Anything inside the coffins, at any rate?
  1865. [10:28 PM] Bot Fodder: Could some still be occupied? John looks to Razmik. "Think you could do a sweep?"
  1866. [10:28 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (ayy just THROW IT TO THE GROUND)
  1867. [10:28 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Uhh
  1868. [10:28 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Beddings and linings?
  1869. [10:28 PM] Faerie: Razmik recalls the procedures, the legends, the tales
  1870. [10:28 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Nothing of worth, Razmik.
  1871. [10:29 PM] Runic: (Well we currently have 4, a couple more would help)
  1872. [10:29 PM] Faerie: The warnings. Even someone of his station should be able to recall those.
  1873. [10:29 PM] Faerie: If nothing's amiss, he'll let the coffins be.
  1874. [10:29 PM] Eon: Koga
  1875. [10:29 PM] Eon: Can I
  1876. [10:29 PM] Eon: Shillelagh a coffin
  1877.  
  1878. [10:29 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: No.
  1879. [10:29 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Why do you ask?
  1880. [10:29 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: :smugpopo:
  1881. [10:29 PM] Eon: o7
  1882. [10:30 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: However, you MAY break the coffin,
  1883. [10:30 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: and pick up a hefty stick as a quarterstaff or club.
  1884. [10:30 PM] Faerie: ''...Rest well, you deserve it.''
  1885. [10:30 PM] Faerie: Razmik sets fire to the coffins, one by one.
  1886. [10:30 PM] Eon: So if I have someone else Shillelagh the quarterstaff while I Mend it back together..
  1887. [10:30 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Shillelagh would fall off, yes.
  1888. [10:30 PM] Eon: (Its bigger than a foot tear, I'm just memeing)
  1889. [10:31 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (I know, but I am ok with this.jpg)
  1890.  
  1891. [10:31 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You've taken care of the coffins.
  1892. [10:31 PM] Eon: "Ashes to ashes.."
  1893. [10:31 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Advance on?
  1894. [10:31 PM] Faerie: You can never be too sure, but beyond that, something pulls at him to...
  1895. It's a matter of respect, Razmik tells himself.
  1896. [10:31 PM] Eon: Lets.
  1897. [10:31 PM] Runic: Yes
  1898.  
  1899. [10:31 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The tunnel stretches on, as you track the vampires...
  1900. [10:31 PM] Eon: ...
  1901. [10:31 PM] Eon: Esker will propose
  1902. [10:32 PM] Eon: that they try to be sneaky.
  1903. [10:32 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The dirt and stone walls turn into plating of metal, as you walk.
  1904. [10:32 PM] Faerie: Even so, even if they ended their life as something utterly inhuman. Simply put, it's more reasonable to blame the sin than the sinner. Razmik's all too happy to move on.(edited)
  1905. [10:32 PM] Mizuki: (Koga)
  1906. [10:32 PM] Eon: If not, she can go ahead with someone who isn't in a tin can.
  1907. [10:32 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The ground is protected from slipping, but the area becomes somewhat.. Otherworldly.
  1908. [10:32 PM] Mizuki: (this gem I picked up, is it absolute control?)
  1909. [10:32 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (As with slaad nature, no. There's always a random chance of failure on slaad)
  1910. [10:32 PM] Mizuki: (if I tell the Slaad to kill itself will it do so?)
  1911. [10:32 PM] Faerie: (brb sis)
  1912. [10:33 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Oh. If it accepted your command, it'll happily kill itself)
  1913. [10:33 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (It's absolute command in THAT way, yeah.)
  1914. [10:33 PM] Mizuki: (coolio)
  1915. [10:33 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Death Slaad, as you understand, is the highest ranked mundane slaad there is.)(edited)
  1916. [10:33 PM] Mizuki: (unlimited uses?)
  1917. [10:33 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The metallic surface is cold to the touch.
  1918. [10:33 PM] Eon: (Koga probably made a vampire super slaad)
  1919. [10:34 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Unlimited, and you trigger it by holding it in your hand while you speak.)
  1920. [10:34 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Nah, it's just a thing!)
  1921. [10:34 PM] Eon: No takers on stealth? Fair enough.
  1922. [10:34 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... It's also worth 10000 GP in raw gemstone value.
  1923. [10:34 PM] Eon: Pocket change, after what we have been through!
  1924. [10:34 PM] Mizuki: (:surprisedpopo:)
  1925.  
  1926. [10:35 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: I should explain - it's irregular, but it's the size of a humanoid's heart, slightly bigger.
  1927. [10:35 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: And entirely ruby or something.
  1928. [10:35 PM] Eon: (just crop the actual picture :smugsatori: )
  1929. [10:35 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The irregular shape gave it a strange enticement.
  1930. [10:35 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (I don't have it it's from my mind :cryingpopo: )
  1931.  
  1932. [10:36 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: But yes - the hallway turns metallic.
  1933. [10:36 PM] Eon: (crop your mind reee)
  1934. [10:36 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: And you sadly do not have a rust monster in your party.
  1935. [10:36 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Keep going, or listen to what Esker has to say on sneaking?
  1936. [10:36 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Razmik is absent-minded right now. (AFK-ness)
  1937. [10:36 PM] Mizuki: (sneaking is for losers)
  1938.  
  1939. [10:36 PM] Bot Fodder: ( :V )
  1940. [10:37 PM] Eon: (I have +17 to stealth and adv and make no sound)
  1941. [10:37 PM] Eon: (if I pass w/o trace)
  1942. [10:37 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (ew)
  1943. [10:37 PM] Bot Fodder: John's not so used to being stealthy himself... but he's up for trying.
  1944. [10:37 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (brb more blindsense monsters, shit son)
  1945. [10:38 PM] Bot Fodder: (Pass without Trace is strong as fug, man.)
  1946. [10:38 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (jokes aside)
  1947. [10:38 PM] Eon: Esker will volunteer to scout ahead alone, if she really needs to. Prudence is good for not-dying.
  1948. [10:38 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... The metallic tunnel doesn't go on for too far, before you come to two metallic sliding door. It's sealed shut.
  1949. [10:38 PM] Eon: ...
  1950. [10:38 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: If the signs are right, it would be where the chimera came from.
  1951. [10:39 PM] Eon: Well, you could have said that before I pulled the meme :sadpopo:
  1952. [10:39 PM] Runic: Lexon states, "not sure how well being stealthy as a group with fair, usually boy well from what I remember, but we can try again"
  1953. [10:39 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Sorry :sadpopo:
  1954. [10:39 PM] Bot Fodder: John knocks on the metal lightly as they walk. What manner of alloy is it?
  1955.  
  1956. [10:39 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Some... Unknown alloy that's lightweighted, and beyond mundane smith.
  1957. [10:39 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Not mithril, but... something of a substitute?
  1958. [10:40 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Perhaps even star metal?
  1959. [10:40 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Without expertise, it's hard to say.
  1960. [10:40 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (I'll accept Stonecunning if anyone has it.)
  1961. [10:40 PM] Mizuki: "Someone opened the door for the Chimera." - Said Alicia pointing out the obvious.
  1962. [10:40 PM] Bot Fodder: Metalcunning Well, it's strong stuff, at any rate.
  1963.  
  1964. [10:40 PM] Runic: (tfw Lexon isn't actually dorf)
  1965. [10:40 PM] Eon: Esker pushes on the door gently. Locked, she imagines.
  1966. [10:41 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... It slides open effortlessly...
  1967. [10:41 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ...
  1968. [10:41 PM] Eon: ...
  1969. [10:41 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Sigh.
  1970. [10:41 PM] Mizuki: ...
  1971. [10:41 PM] Eon: Well, good to try the obvious thing first..
  1972. [10:41 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: With the slightest nudge, the door gives, with a pneumatic hissing sound as the doors retreat, sliding into small metallic alcoves.
  1973. [10:41 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Beyond is a strange sight.
  1974. [10:42 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: A ring of humanoids, elven, human, or halflings, forming a ring, kneeling, their internal organs spilled in sacrifice. They are obviously dead. Lining the walls are great creatures - white, blue, and silver dragons, samples of various cattles, frost giants, fire giants,
  1975. [10:43 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: and incubation tubes of faceless humanoids, each one of them floating in unknown liquid.
  1976. [10:43 PM] Eon: Esker frowns.
  1977. [10:43 PM] Runic: Guh, Lexon reacts
  1978. [10:43 PM] Eon: Perhaps 'Mad Wizard' wasn't so redundant a term..
  1979. [10:43 PM] Runic: "Gross man" he comments
  1980. [10:43 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The dead creatures are preserved in some sort of strange medicinal liquid as well, in various sized jars for ease of examination.
  1981. [10:43 PM] Bot Fodder: John has seen some cult maniacs perform sacrificial rites before, but...
  1982. [10:44 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Four vampires have their chest dug out, and their still beating hearts seems to have fused together.
  1983. [10:44 PM] Bot Fodder: "This is just... excessive. The ritual must've been meant for massive, don't you think?"
  1984. [10:44 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: And, standing in midst of it all, is a handsome man, looking aloof, holding the heart.
  1985. [10:44 PM] Bot Fodder: "... Oh." Oh.
  1986. [10:44 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Seeing as you entered, he devours the heart in one bite.
  1987. [10:44 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: And swallows.
  1988. [10:45 PM] Eon: "..How long have you been waiting to do that?" Despite the sight, Esker finds it within herself to sneer.
  1989. [10:45 PM] Bot Fodder: A heart is made of fibrous stuff! John is almost impressed.
  1990. [10:45 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... That was a bit rushed, but no matters." He sighs, wiping himself clean as the vampires around him turns into dust.
  1991. [10:45 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "I do apologize, esteemed guests." He bows. "Welcome to my laboratory."
  1992. [10:46 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: With a gesture, his robe flies open.
  1993. [10:46 PM] Mizuki: Alicia feels like vomiting. She unsheates her blade. - "What the hell is this about?"
  1994. [10:46 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Various humanoid parts line his inner robe, dried fetishes of magical power.
  1995. [10:46 PM] Eon: Oh, Esker knew this kind of chump. Waterdeep has pretty of pretentious folks.
  1996. [10:47 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "I am the head researcher of the Black Tower, Harulsha Blackstar." He smiles.
  1997. [10:47 PM] Bot Fodder: "I suppose you meant to celebrate a bit more?" John says flatly, turning one step closer to his fighting stance without any overt threat.
  1998. [10:47 PM] Mizuki: (is he a vampire?)
  1999. [10:47 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "And the Black Tower is no more. In a blink of the eye. And you guests are here."
  2000. [10:47 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Very yes.)
  2001. [10:47 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Harulsha Blackstar sighs, "I don't suppose you were just nearby?"
  2002. [10:48 PM] Eon: "Don't get visitors often, hmm?" Esker comments dryly.
  2003. [10:48 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "We do, actually." He smiles, flourishing his arms to gesture to the side.
  2004. [10:48 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "They stayed with us."
  2005. [10:48 PM] Eon: "No, we were just here to ask about the giant eldritch moon in the sky. We heard you were looking into stopping it."
  2006. [10:48 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "...? Oh, yes, the Cradle..."
  2007. [10:49 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... Are you here to talk?" He seems surprised.
  2008. [10:49 PM] Eon: Esker had severe doubts it was out of altruism.
  2009. [10:49 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Razmik is nowhere in sight.
  2010. [10:49 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: He must've woken up.
  2011. [10:49 PM] Eon: What a bad time.. Esker muses.
  2012.  
  2013. [10:49 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "I... have not prepared tea."
  2014. [10:49 PM] Eon: "I mean, we didn't get the most welcome reception here, but why not?"
  2015. [10:49 PM] Bot Fodder: (Is the dude even clothed :smugpopo: )
  2016. [10:49 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Mr. Blackstar fusses a little. "One moment. Girls! Girls!"
  2017. [10:50 PM] Mizuki: Alicia really feels like telling the man to go fuck himself and explode him with magic, but they need the information.
  2018. [10:50 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Robe + underneath thingys)
  2019. [10:50 PM] Runic: Lexon frowns realizing the group is down a member
  2020. [10:50 PM] Eon: ... They would have to stall, at any rate.
  2021. [10:50 PM] Eon: Naturally, don't drink anything offered to you, yadda yadda.
  2022. [10:50 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: From the back of the room, a door opens, and two girls comes out, eyes vacant. They seem to be vampire thralls, dressed in some sort of maid outfit.
  2023. [10:50 PM] Eon: (John, press the Know Thy Enemy button at some point, will ya)
  2024. [10:50 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: They are pushing a cart, with goblets, and wine bottle.
  2025. [10:51 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... Tea, girls, but... Oh, fine."
  2026. [10:51 PM] Eon: "Curious taste.. Unlike much what we have seen so far in Orixia." Esker notes.
  2027. [10:51 PM] Bot Fodder: John... has honestly never dealt with a real vampire before. And this one looks like quite the proper aristocrat. He feels just a little excited, like he were meeting a celebrity. A very evil celebrity.
  2028. [10:51 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: With a flick of his wrist, and a wave of a wand that appeared in his hand, he waves, and orchestrates... Pieces of meat shapes and forms.
  2029. [10:51 PM] Eon: ... He even had his thralls dressed in maid outfits.
  2030. [10:52 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: In front of you are chairs, made of the dead.
  2031. [10:52 PM] Eon: Red flag, red flag.
  2032. [10:52 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Sit, please, if you are here to chat. I'll tell you about the Cradle."(edited)
  2033. [10:52 PM] Eon: Obviously suspicious. Insight?
  2034.  
  2035. [10:52 PM] Mizuki: Alicia stares at the vampire. She's not going to drink any of that!
  2036. [10:52 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Go for insight.
  2037. [10:52 PM] Eon: (someone could probably check the chairs.)
  2038. [10:52 PM] Eon: roll 1d20+9
  2039. [10:52 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+9]: 20, Result: 29
  2040. [10:53 PM] Mizuki: (very insightful)
  2041. [10:53 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: He seems genuine about wanting to tell you about the Cradle.
  2042. [10:53 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... The chair might be bad, but for the time being it's safe.
  2043. [10:53 PM] Bot Fodder: John was about to sit, but pauses when he sees no one else does. He feels embarrassed now...
  2044. [10:53 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: He will be displeased if you do not take a seat.
  2045. [10:53 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... The two girls behind the vampire are also vampires.
  2046. [10:53 PM] Eon: "Very well. You're a very kind host." Esker walks up to a chair.
  2047. [10:53 PM] Mizuki: Alicia sheats her sword, slowly and approaches the chair.
  2048. [10:54 PM] Mizuki: Investigation on the chair
  2049. [10:54 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: .. They have concealed weapon under their outfit, and armor.
  2050. [10:54 PM] Runic: Lexon can only assume the vampire is also getting kick out of this. Enjoying his "guests" lack of
  2051. [10:54 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: They mean no harm at the moment, and are under some sort of mind control.
  2052. [10:54 PM] Eon: Esker mind races. It was like stretching an unused muscle. After so many years..(edited)
  2053. [10:54 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: That's all a 20 tell you.
  2054. [10:54 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The chair?
  2055. [10:54 PM] Mizuki: roll 1d20+9
  2056. [10:54 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+9]: 19, Result: 28
  2057. [10:54 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The chairs are made of twisted corpses formed into a makeshift "leather" seat.
  2058. [10:54 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Of the dead humanoids you just saw.
  2059. [10:54 PM] Eon: (another 19)
  2060. [10:55 PM] Runic: He takes a seat, sighing, hoping to get this over with
  2061. [10:55 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Disgusting by human standard, but usable by ... monstrous standard.
  2062.  
  2063. [10:55 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Oh, one last thing.
  2064. [10:55 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: .. Razmik would not approve of you to talk with a vampire peacefully.
  2065. [10:56 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... Now, then.
  2066. [10:56 PM] Eon: shrug He wasn't here, for now.
  2067. [10:56 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Harulsha Blackstar offers the goblets of wines, poured by the vampire girl maids, to you, and took one himself. The wine is, of course, red wine, sanguine like blood.(edited)
  2068. [10:56 PM] Eon: It's more important to Esker that they learn about the Cradle of the End than his holy righteousness, at any rate.
  2069. [10:56 PM] Mizuki: Alicia sits on the chair very relutanctly, keeping an eye on the maids and on the man.
  2070. [10:57 PM] Mizuki: "I'm not drinking." - She said quickly.
  2071. [10:57 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: He explains slowly, of what the vampires know...
  2072. [10:57 PM] Eon: Esker swills her goblet. Ettiquette..
  2073. [10:57 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "That's fine, it might not be of your taste." Harulsha Blackstar confesses.
  2074.  
  2075. [10:57 PM] Mizuki: She nods slowly.
  2076. [10:57 PM] Eon: "What is it made of? I don't imagine there are vineyards in Orixia.."
  2077. [10:57 PM] Eon: She gives a small smile. Courteous.
  2078. [10:57 PM] Runic: Lexon is more of an ale type of guy, but he rather not complain. He takes a sip tasting it a little.
  2079. [10:58 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The Cradle, as the vampires call it, are the vampire's "sun". They think that it caused the Wight Wind, and that the Cradle of the End, as it's put, will bring a new beginning. Once the Wight Wind spreaded, the world will be in eternal darkness, and the vampires will be reborn, and alive once more.
  2080. [10:58 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ...
  2081. [10:58 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Oh... It's freshly brewed Frost Giant blood."
  2082. [10:59 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... It's alcoholic.
  2083. [10:59 PM] Runic: Lexin stares at the goblet
  2084. [10:59 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... But also very, very bad for you.
  2085. [10:59 PM] Eon: Esker glances back at Elerith. Hopefully she could keep her composure..
  2086. [10:59 PM] Eon: Poisonous bad for you or..
  2087. [10:59 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Elerith sits quietly on a chair, listening.
  2088. [10:59 PM] Runic: 'Thank god I've had worse' he thinks to himself
  2089. [10:59 PM] Eon: GM
  2090. [10:59 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You don't know, Esker.
  2091. [10:59 PM] Mizuki: Alicia is very glad she didn't drink the 'wine'.
  2092. [11:00 PM] Eon: is alcohol a poison
  2093. [11:00 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: WOuld you like to try finding out by testing?
  2094. [11:00 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Ahem. Harulsha gets back into his tale, "At least, that's what the vampires in general believed. I know the truth, that it to be a lie."
  2095. [11:00 PM] Runic: (I was under a poisoned condition one time so I guess Eon)
  2096. [11:01 PM] Eon: Esker will partake in a sip. If only to humor their host.
  2097. [11:01 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "The moon there, the Cradle, is a seed of destruction and corruption, from the Far Realm." He smirks. "It will not save vampires. It will turn us into eldritch horrors."
  2098. [11:01 PM] Eon: ... With any luck, the natural forces protecting her from poison will keep her from the worst of it.
  2099. [11:01 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "We will be reborn, yes, but as horrifying monsters. Not graceful aristocrates that the lesser vampires dreamed we were."
  2100. [11:01 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ...
  2101. [11:01 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Alright.
  2102. [11:01 PM] Mizuki: Alicia nods. - "Its been there for a very long time though. Why didn't such a thing happened yet?"
  2103.  
  2104. [11:02 PM] Eon: Esker nods. "A scholar, I see. Indeed, thousands of years.."
  2105. [11:02 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "It's waiting for a trigger, my mage friend." He smiles at Alicia.
  2106. [11:03 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "A sound from beyond, a cry, a call, to awaken the monster within the cradle. The sound echoes... It was going to arrive soon, I gathered. I heard it in my trembling soul..."
  2107. [11:03 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "The horrific cry from beyond the stars..."
  2108. [11:03 PM] Bot Fodder: "... Nnnnot any more?" John hazards.
  2109. [11:03 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: He looks a bit down.
  2110. [11:03 PM] Mizuki: She once again nods. The abyssification. That was the thing.
  2111. [11:03 PM] Eon: Esker swills her goblet once again.
  2112. [11:03 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "it will wake soon. And my research into it are all ruined, with all the others dead."
  2113. [11:04 PM] Eon: "It appears our goals align, in a fashion."
  2114. [11:04 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... I had to eat them, to take them within me, to gain what they know. This is the only way I can finish the research... Alone."
  2115. [11:04 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: He shakes, a bit.
  2116. [11:04 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... In excitement.
  2117. [11:04 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "I will... save the world. Ahahaha... Hahaha!"
  2118. [11:04 PM] Eon: ... Kinky bastard. Esker notes.
  2119. [11:04 PM] Bot Fodder: (How do you think he'd react if we said we stopped the Wight Wind? Would be he mad, or just "lol nice one.")
  2120. [11:04 PM] Eon: (He'll probably kill us)
  2121.  
  2122. [11:05 PM] Mizuki: "Even if you are alone, you will be done for like all the others when it happens." - She pointed out. - "Wouldn't it be better with all the others help?"
  2123. [11:05 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The taboo, of consumption of another vampire's vitae, seems to be getting to him.
  2124. [11:05 PM] Eon: Esker waits paitiently. Eccentricity is not uncommon among those who would consider themselves aristocrats.
  2125. [11:05 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "No, no, you do not understand, my mage friend." He shakes his head. "There's only... Only one ritual we can ... I can perform."
  2126. [11:06 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "The Spear of Saintly Blood... With the spell, and the sacrifices to be done, I can ... Destroy the moon, the accursed cradle of lies."
  2127. [11:06 PM] Bot Fodder: (To be completely fair! Who the hell builds a tower that burns in sunlight?!)
  2128. [11:06 PM] Eon: (I mean, this guy is pretty out there)
  2129. [11:07 PM] Eon: "The Spear of Saintly Blood? That's quite a name.." Esker eggs him on.
  2130. [11:07 PM] Mizuki: (there was no sunlight with the wight wind!)
  2131. [11:07 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: His eyes widen. "The components, the mixtures of blood of several beings, and a drop of the Titan's blood, yes..."
  2132. [11:07 PM] Bot Fodder: (He was just the head researcher. He probably wasn't the leader.)
  2133. [11:07 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "They course within me now."
  2134. [11:07 PM] Faerie: (WEW)
  2135. [11:07 PM] Eon: Esker raises an eyebrow.
  2136. [11:07 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "With just the right ritual, I can end the moon, save the world, and become the ... New world leader."
  2137. [11:07 PM] Faerie: (Okay, that's like the fourth time I've had to bail tonight)
  2138. [11:08 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "I will be the night king of Orixia!"(edited)
  2139. [11:08 PM] Mizuki: "No other ways you found out?" - She asked.
  2140. [11:08 PM] Eon: (well, this is awkward.)
  2141. [11:08 PM] Faerie: (Let me catch up)
  2142. [11:08 PM] Bot Fodder: "Blood, huh." John shifts a bit. He remembers the corpses of dragons in the ritual room, among others, and glances at his spear.
  2143. [11:08 PM] Eon: Esker nods, as if it wasn't a lunatic rambling in front of her, but one of genius.
  2144.  
  2145. [11:08 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ...
  2146. [11:08 PM] Eon: ... She might believe her own acting, at this rate.
  2147. [11:08 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Pause for a second, guys.
  2148.

  2187. [11:12 PM] Mizuki: The chair restrains Alicia!

  2189. [11:12 PM] Mizuki: (placed in GM control until we kill this guy or forever?)
  2190. [11:12 PM] Eon: "What is the meaning of this?" Esker pretends to be civil, still.
  2191. [11:12 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "And... One last spell component... blood of vampires. I need just a few more." He smiles.
  2192. [11:12 PM] Runic: Lexon's vision becomes a bit hazy' "Shit, I don't feel so good"
  2193. [11:12 PM] Eon: (forever, your character is dead)

  2234. [11:16 PM] Faerie: A prayer's carried on his lips as he plummets down into the realm of nightmare. What do his eyes see?
  2235. [11:16 PM] Eon: (a-alacrity?)
  2236. [11:17 PM] Faerie: Razmik's on the floor, prone! He means to stand up.
  2237. [11:17 PM] Mizuki: (Alicia restrained Lexon becoming a vampire, John restrained, vampires about to beat the shit out of us all.)
  2238. [11:18 PM] Eon: (that's awfully pessimistic, Alicia!)
  2239. [11:18 PM] Eon: (be Happy, citizen! It's mandatory)
  2240.  
  2241. [11:18 PM] Mizuki: (Koga, Lexon will still be under your control even after we kill this duder if he becomes a vampire? Or will he just be a vampire friend?)
  2242. [11:18 PM] Eon: (Mizu please)
  2243. [11:18 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (You need to stop the vampirism somehow.)
  2244. [11:18 PM] Bot Fodder: (CE Vampire NPC.)
  2245. [11:18 PM] Eon: (Lexon will no longer be a PC)
  2246. [11:18 PM] Faerie: Feeling sorry to be late, Razmik gets on his feet.
  2247. [11:18 PM] Eon: (that's that)
  2248. [11:18 PM] Mizuki: (okay, that's clear now)
  2249. [11:18 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Alright, wew, uh, first,
  2250. [11:18 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Razmik.
  2251. [11:19 PM] Faerie: (Is Vampirism a disease or a curse?)
  2252. [11:19 PM] Mizuki: (I'm glad I didn't drink anything then!)
  2253. [11:19 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Your friends are restrained, here and there, and poisoned by some strange blood.
  2254. [11:19 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: And there's a vampire lord in front of you, with two thralls wielding greatswords.
  2255. [11:19 PM] Eon: (Man, it would be bad if both fail the save, I can at least try to Resto..)
  2256. [11:19 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The world's in pinch, and the vampire just asked if you would help him save the world.
  2257. [11:19 PM] Eon: (fuck, I can't do what I planned to do.)
  2258. [11:19 PM] Faerie: (If it's poison, I can take care of it)
  2259. [11:19 PM] Eon: (its not, I got hit too)
  2260. [11:19 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: A two-pronged, bloody spear springs into his hand, glistening and dripping with blood.
  2261. [11:19 PM] Eon: (I pass save, but still)
  2262. [11:20 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (And it's a special magical curse)
  2263. [11:20 PM] Bot Fodder: (This is TES-like vampirism, apparently! Counts as a disease until either cured or an hour elapses.)
  2264. [11:20 PM] Eon: (G-Greater Resto doesn't.. do it?)
  2265.  
  2266. [11:20 PM] Eon: (well, fuck.)
  2267. [11:20 PM] Faerie: (If it's a disease, I can undo it as well)
  2268. [11:20 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (You'll get to find out later, Esker! :happypopo: )
  2269. [11:20 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (MUHAHAHAHA)
  2270. [11:20 PM] Eon: (wait, it's literally in greater resto's purview)
  2271. [11:20 PM] Faerie: Razmik sweats bullets, met with an unfamiliar scene. Unfamiliar faces, unfamiliar seats...
  2272. [11:20 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Anyways, Razmik, make your entrance. And roll initiative.
  2273. [11:20 PM] Eon: (also I'm immune to disease)
  2274. [11:21 PM] Mizuki: (LETS BLAST THIS FUCKER LADS, LETS GO)
  2275. [11:21 PM] Eon: (wait a second..)
  2276. [11:21 PM] Bot Fodder: (S-save the maids ;_;)
  2277. [11:21 PM] Eon: (do we have diamond dust)
  2278. [11:21 PM] Mizuki: (INCINERATE THE MEIDOS)
  2279. [11:21 PM] Eon: (I think I still do from the session I joined)
  2280. [11:21 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (For stoneskin? Probably)
  2281. [11:21 PM] Eon: (no, for greater resto)
  2282. [11:22 PM] Eon: (apparently it has a material cost)
  2283. [11:22 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (tis all diamond dust, fam)
  2284. [11:22 PM] Bot Fodder: (Leysritt and Stella ;_;)
  2285.  
  2286. [11:22 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Razmik?
  2287. [11:22 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You have 3 minutes as I scamper to ready
  2288. [11:22 PM] Mizuki: "Hey old man, did you like our gift?" - Asked Alicia still restrained, smiling.
  2289. [11:23 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: He smiles. "I knew, the moment that I laid my eyes upon you, that you were the cause of the wind dying."
  2290. [11:23 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "It was fated to be this way."
  2291. [11:23 PM] Mizuki: Alicia's smile fades! He was supposed to be mad, this kind of people piss her off!
  2292. [11:24 PM] Eon: Esker scoffs.
  2293. [11:24 PM] Eon: "Fate?"
  2294. [11:24 PM] Eon: "No..."
  2295. [11:24 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "I know of a few more things." He smiles. "Do you seriously think, a being of my power, can be restrained by some childish demon, or some eldritch beings from beyond the nightmare?"
  2296. [11:24 PM] Eon: "The Wight Wind was an accident! Your survival on this world a fluke!"
  2297. [11:24 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... Elerith freezes.
  2298. [11:24 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Her color drains, as she seems to enter stasis.
  2299. [11:25 PM] Bot Fodder: "We didn't know it'd destroy your tower!" John cries, defensive for reasons unknown to even him. "And, I mean, who builds a tower that burns in light anyway?"
  2300. [11:25 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "I know. I know. Shhh."
  2301. [11:25 PM] Mizuki: "Is it also fated that this is the very day you are turning into dust?"
  2302. [11:25 PM] Faerie: There is one thing the lord in front of them will have to admit: Orixia is no longer the realm of vampires. Dramatic-like, Razmik's fist finally clenches down onto Lathander's symbol. ''Make your intention clear'', he commands. If they aren't friends of what's true and compassionate... they must surely be mankind's enemy!
  2303. [11:25 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "The spear's sound... I must listen to it..."
  2304. [11:25 PM] Faerie: Channel Divinity: Turn the Unholy!
  2305.  
  2306. [11:25 PM] Eon: "A passing accident from some elder horror we have entreatied ourselves! To end the little veil that your race clinged on.."
  2307. [11:25 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Initiative first, Razmik!
  2308. [11:26 PM] Mizuki: (Fae is drunk do not bully him.)(edited)
  2309. [11:26 PM] Faerie: ''And do you expect us to sit idly and drink as you sap the colour out of this world?'' Ridiculous.
  2310. [11:26 PM] Faerie: roll 1d20
  2311. [11:26 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20]: 10, Result: 10
  2312. [11:26 PM] Eon: Pretense at pleasantries now cast aside, Esker spits in his direction.
  2313. [11:26 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "I've seen it all before, friends... The world ending, me twisting, contorting... Turning into a spider."
  2314. [11:27 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "But the world gave me a second chance. It was betted in a silly gamble. I was, once more."
  2315. [11:27 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: He brandishes his crimson spear. "And this time, I'll save this world..."
  2316. [11:27 PM] Eon: A spider..? Hmm.
  2317.  
  2318. [11:27 PM] Mizuki: "Worry not, my friend, for a pile of ashes won't suffer such a curse." - She said sarcastically.
  2319. [11:27 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... First, John.
  2320. [11:27 PM] Bot Fodder: John looks him straight in the eye. "The Hero can't be a vampire, you know."
  2321. [11:28 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Do you guys need roll20?)
  2322. [11:28 PM] Eon: Esker would almost expect him to burst into 'I'M SHADOW, THE JAGER', if the situation wasn't so grave.
  2323. [11:28 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (it's a straightforward combat)
  2324. [11:28 PM] Faerie: (I dunno, uh)
  2325. [11:28 PM] Eon: (I'm fine without)
  2326. [11:28 PM] Bot Fodder: John tries to rise from his restraints!
  2327. [11:28 PM] Runic: (Think we're good)
  2328. [11:28 PM] Bot Fodder: (Ath, right?)
  2329. [11:28 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The room is about 60ft deep, 60ft wide, but only 40ft of the width is usable for you, due to clutter.
  2330. [11:28 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: As if you wish to escape grapple, John.
  2331. [11:28 PM] Faerie: (That sounds alright, but I'll seriously cry if we're all 40ft away)
  2332. [11:28 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Athletics (Str) or Acrobatics (Dex)
  2333. [11:29 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (let's say 30ft for dramatics.)
  2334. [11:29 PM] Bot Fodder: roll 1d20+12 Athletics
  2335. [11:29 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+12]: 9, Result: 21
  2336. [11:29 PM] Faerie: (I mean, it's fine, I'm blasting them with Divinity first)
  2337. [11:29 PM] Faerie: (GUYS ARE WE ABOUT TO FIGHT VAMPIRES)
  2338. [11:29 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Wait, what was your init Raz)
  2339. [11:29 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (10?)
  2340. [11:29 PM] Runic: (10)
  2341.  
  2342. [11:29 PM] Faerie: (Yeah, 10)
  2343. [11:30 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You rip apart the chair beneath you, John.
  2344. [11:30 PM] Faerie: (>(Fae is drunk do not bully him.)(edited)
  2345. Rude)
  2346. [11:30 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The fingers and arms that held you were brittle, like that of the dead.
  2347. [11:30 PM] Bot Fodder: (TFW we may have actually been able to deal with this guy if we'd visited the tower before it burned. :sadpopo: )
  2348.  
  2349. [11:30 PM] Faerie: ((>dealing with vampires
  2350. BURN
  2351. ON
  2352. SIGHT))
  2353. [11:30 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (It's one way to do it, Gungnir the Moon)
  2354. [11:30 PM] Eon: (cough)
  2355. [11:31 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Or Longinus if you are into that :thinking: )
  2356. [11:31 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ( Eva it up :excitedfish: )
  2357.  
  2358. [11:32 PM] Bot Fodder: John brandishes his spear of superior length! He moves between his friends and the vampire, preparing to intercept anything that tries to get by. [Bonus Action, Tunnel fighter]
  2359. [11:32 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 5d20
  2360. [11:32 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [5d20]: 6,20,1,8,11, Result: 46
  2361.  
  2362. [11:33 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Seems fine. Anything else?
  2363. [11:33 PM] Bot Fodder: (How far is he and meido-sans, roughly?)
  2364. [11:34 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (The maids are standing behind him during the conversation, so they are 40ft away, and about 10ft away from Blackstar.)
  2365. [11:34 PM] Bot Fodder: (Okay. Pass!)
  2366. [11:34 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Lexon.
  2367. [11:34 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Your blood boils... Calling you.
  2368. [11:34 PM] Bot Fodder: (>Everyone takes SAN damage)
  2369. [11:34 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... Oh, this shouldn't need saying, but this is a decisive battle, involving at least one artifact, and is of abnormal CR.
  2370. [11:34 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Good luck.
  2371. [11:35 PM] Mizuki: (why are vampires so FUN)(edited)
  2372.  
  2373. [11:35 PM] Eon: (mizu get your fetishes away from the game table)
  2374. [11:35 PM] Eon: (and get them into a room with koga)
  2375.  
  2376. [11:35 PM] Faerie: (>abnormal CR

  2379. [11:36 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Someone give me fightan music that IS)
  2380. [11:36 PM] Bot Fodder: (Vampire Killer is the obvious answer.)
  2381. [11:37 PM] Runic: With his blood boiling, almost sending Lexon into a frenzy, he manages to calm down. Quickly he runs towards Blackstar, and quickly tries to grapple him!
  2382. [11:37 PM] Runic: roll 1d20+14 athletics
  2383. [11:37 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+14]: 5, Result: 19

  2385. [11:37 PM] Faerie: (VAMPIRE KILLER)
  2386. [11:37 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Hm.
  2387. [11:37 PM] Bot Fodder: (It's not dark enough for this, though. :smugpopo: )
  2388. [11:37 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: As you grab him, the vampire partially faded into mist for a moment.
  2389. [11:37 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... I'll let you take the Action back.
  2390. [11:38 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Ruffian..." He sighs. "You would make a horrible vampire, but I need you, still."
  2391. [11:38 PM] Runic: (Almost punishing my shitty grapple memes, yamero)
  2392. [11:38 PM] Eon: (does Alicia give a shit about grapple?)
  2393. [11:38 PM] Bot Fodder: (Oh, fug, I forgot to mention. Kogasa, is it okay if John has his mace attuned rather than the spear? I was going to make that the default unless we know we're going to face a dragon.)
  2394. [11:39 PM] Eon: (err, restrained)
  2395. [11:39 PM] Mizuki: (I'm misty stepping out of that)
  2396. [11:39 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Oh, sure)
  2397. [11:39 PM] Bot Fodder: (Thanks :happypopo: )
  2398. [11:39 PM] Eon: (Question Koga, if I Conjure Animals, I only get them to get turn after right?)
  2399. [11:40 PM] Eon: (since I assume all summons follow my init)
  2400. [11:40 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Yeah, turn after, on your init)
  2401. [11:40 PM] Runic: (Well, don't know what to do now that I can't grapple him...)
  2402. [11:40 PM] Eon: (sock him in the face)
  2403. [11:40 PM] Mizuki: (stab this fag nigga)
  2404. [11:40 PM] Runic: Lexon takes out his white raven dagger and goes for a stab, I guess...

  2414. [11:41 PM] Mizuki: (aw)
  2415. [11:42 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The vampire is stabbed, squarely.
  2416. [11:42 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Blackstar stumbles, hissing from the wound.

  2423. [11:43 PM] Runic: end turn
  2424. [11:43 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Alicia.
  2425. [11:43 PM] Mizuki: (how far am I from the vampire again?)
  2426. [11:43 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (30ft and 40 to the spawns)
  2427. [11:44 PM] Faerie: Do the spawns look considerably weaker?
  2428. [11:44 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Placing a pin for log point, this isn't gonna work while I am logging)
  2429. [11:44 PM] Faerie: Weakness being relative, of course.
  2430. KogasaGaSagasa pinned a message to this channel. See all the pins.Yesterday at 11:44 PM
  2431. [11:44 PM] Faerie: Compared to Head Honcho over there.
  2432. [11:44 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Well,
  2433. [11:44 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: All of you are like insects, probably, compare to him?
  2434. [11:45 PM] Mizuki: A silvery mist envelops Alicia as she reappears 30ft away, going as far away as she can get from the vampires. - "Hang in there, Lexon, we will take care of you after those bastards are nothing but a pile of dust!"(edited)
  2435. [11:45 PM] Faerie: I'll take it. Did you know some insects are deceptively strong? Beetles, for example!
  2436. [11:45 PM] Mizuki: She lifts her blade, burning with a fiery might and swings it, sending a bolt of fire against the vampire lord. - "Hiya!"
  2437. [11:46 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "You would understand - your blood would be so sweet... And would help me so, so much." He sighs, as Alicia gets closer...
  2438. [11:46 PM] Mizuki: Misty step and firebolt
  2439. [11:46 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Sure
  2440. [11:46 PM] Mizuki: (Oh shit)(edited)

  2445. [11:46 PM] Eon: (not novaing from get go?)
  2446. [11:46 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Else you would be in disadvantage.
  2447. [11:46 PM] Mizuki: (no, Koga, I'm teleporting away from him.)

  2461. [11:48 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... And is partially drawn into his lance, automatically. [Resistance?]
  2462. [11:48 PM] Mizuki: pass
  2463. [11:48 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The maids...
  2464. [11:49 PM] Eon: (hmm, anyone can disarm him?)
  2465. [11:49 PM] Runic: (aren't these things attached to him?)
  2466. [11:49 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: With a shadowy step, they disappear in a blink of the eye, and appear next to... (Fuck there's no good targets) Razmik, the one radiating with holy energy.

  2479. [11:50 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: the bite misses,
  2480. [11:50 PM] Bot Fodder: (Do they pass or enter John's range when they close in?)
  2481. [11:50 PM] Faerie: Pained, confused as he may be, Razmik staggers out of the way.(edited)
  2482. [11:51 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (They misty stepped in!)
  2483. [11:51 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: And the second greatsword... Swung with critical force.
  2484. [11:51 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 4d6+7
  2485. [11:51 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [4d6+7]: 2,5,5,1, Result: 20
  2486. [11:51 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Following up with a bite,
  2487. [11:51 PM] Bot Fodder: (Ah, if you rule that as an exception, that's fine~)
  2488. [11:51 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: the spear that Harulsha Blackstar holds shines brightly.
  2489. [11:51 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... Automatic 20.
  2490. [11:52 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 2d6+3
  2491. [11:52 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [2d6+3]: 1,1, Result: 5
  2492. [11:52 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 4d6 necrotic
  2493. [11:52 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [4d6]: 5,6,2,2, Result: 15
  2494. [11:52 PM] Eon: (Raz resist necrotic, at least.)
  2495. [11:52 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ...
  2496. [11:52 PM] Bot Fodder: (Fuggin Gungnir)
  2497. [11:52 PM] Faerie: A 20 is not nearly enough. Why are they giving this fight 20%, when numbers get all the way down to 100?
  2498. [11:52 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Your blood boils a bit... The curse enters your bloodstream... And the lance burns brightly, as an evil star visits.
  2499. [11:52 PM] Eon: (we all have the anti-undead stuff from segment 2, too)
  2500. [11:53 PM] Faerie: (how much total?)
  2501. [11:53 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... but fuck your con, so not using the fate dice.
  2502. [11:53 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Make a con save.
  2503. [11:53 PM] Faerie: (Raz?)
  2504. [11:53 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Yep.
  2505. [11:53 PM] Faerie: Works for me.
  2506. [11:53 PM] Faerie: roll 1d20+11
  2507. [11:53 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+11]: 20, Result: 31
  2508. [11:53 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (32 total)
  2509. [11:53 PM] Faerie: You're up, vampiremen
  2510. [11:53 PM] Eon: (wew)
  2511. [11:53 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... Legendary action.
  2512. [11:54 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Breathing in, he concentrates on his spear.
  2513. [11:54 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 2d20
  2514. [11:54 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [2d20]: 12,20, Result: 32
  2515. [11:54 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: His turn.
  2516. [11:54 PM] Faerie: (73 HP)
  2517. [11:54 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "You... Are in the way." He sighs, as Lexon's in melee.
  2518. [11:55 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Help me, friend. We need to save this world..."
  2519. [11:55 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: He stares at Lexon.
  2520. [11:55 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Lexon, wisdom save.
  2521. [11:55 PM] Runic: Roll 1d20
  2522. [11:55 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20]: 14, Result: 14
  2523. [11:55 PM] Faerie: (+3)
  2524. [11:55 PM] Runic: (ah yes from Raz)
  2525. [11:55 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... A whisper enters your mind, insinious. But with the aura's aid, you shrugged it off.
  2526. [11:56 PM] Eon: (Koga, isn't Witness of Apocalypse's End..)
  2527. [11:56 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Ah, well. Worth a try."
  2528. [11:56 PM] Eon: ( :thinking: )
  2529. [11:56 PM] Runic: "Fuck off" Lexon whispers
  2530. [11:56 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Oh, NOW you remember.)
  2531. [11:56 PM] Eon: (I remembered the whole while, it might not be charm for all I know)
  2532. [11:56 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It attempts to go around you, Lexon. Opportunity attack.(edited)
  2533. [11:56 PM] Runic: With a stab, Lexon goes for it
  2534. [11:57 PM] Runic: Roll 1d20+11
  2535. [11:57 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+11]: 3, Result: 14
  2536. [11:57 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Stepping around Lexon, taking the stab of dagger and phasing as mist for a moment, he dodges the strike.
  2537. [11:57 PM] Runic: (I love dicebot)
  2538. [11:57 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: He walks right into melee with John. "You, then, unassuming friend."
  2539. [11:57 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: He swings his spear, which glows...
  2540. [11:57 PM] Faerie: You'd be mistaken to mistake young Lexon's peppiness for weakness. Even in that, there is worth. Would a vampire understand that?
  2541. [11:58 PM] Bot Fodder: (Opportunity? :smugpopo: )
  2542. [11:58 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Fair enough.
  2543. [11:58 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... His spear glows.
  2544. [11:58 PM] Bot Fodder: John lashes out at him as he closes in with uncanny speed.
  2545. [11:58 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... But ceded, there's no point stopping the strike as much.
  2546. [11:59 PM] Bot Fodder: roll 1d20+12
  2547. [11:59 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+12]: 1, Result: 13
  2548. [11:59 PM] Bot Fodder: (KEK)
  2549. [11:59 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Because fate's on his side.
  2550. [11:59 PM] Eon: "..." Having given her furious response, she takes to assessing the battlefield silently..
  2551. [11:59 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Stepping in, the scarlet spear flares into life.
  2552. [11:59 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 20d1+9
  2553. [11:59 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [20d1+9]: 1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1, Result: 29
  2554. [11:59 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Crit.
  2555. [11:59 PM] Eon: (pffff)
  2556. [11:59 PM] Faerie: (What the fUCK)
  2557. [11:59 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 2d6+4 piercing
  2558. [11:59 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [2d6+4]: 3,1, Result: 8
  2559. [11:59 PM] Eon: (literal dice manipulation)
  2560. [11:59 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 6d6 necrotic
  2561. [11:59 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [6d6]: 3,6,1,3,5,1, Result: 19
  2562. September 10, 2017
  2563. [12:00 AM] Bot Fodder: (... Is... is that a Nasu reference?)
  2564. [12:00 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: You are restrained by the spear, which thrusts through you!
  2565. [12:00 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "I require of your blood. I apologize, friend." He smiles.
  2566. [12:00 AM] Bot Fodder: (Spear that reverses dice causality)
  2567. [12:00 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: He ends turn.
  2568. [12:00 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Esker, your turn.
  2569. [12:00 AM] Eon: Man.
  2570. [12:00 AM] Eon: Maaaaaaaan.
  2571. [12:01 AM] Eon: Esker sighs. This was a mess.
  2572. [12:01 AM] Eon: (ok, I have so many lines here)
  2573. [12:01 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Hint: the 5d20 earlier, and the legendary action)
  2574. [12:01 AM] Eon: Give me a bit
  2575. [12:01 AM] Eon: I need to.. think properly.
  2576. [12:01 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Sure.
  2577. [12:01 AM] Eon: There are actual stakes now.
  2578. [12:02 AM] Eon: >4 of them, in fact.
  2579. [12:02 AM] Bot Fodder: "Gah...!" Though the wound isn't deep, it is all the necrotic energy needs to reach the target. Worse, John can't get the fork out of his armor.
  2580. [12:03 AM] Eon: (I'm guessing the five dice lets him arrange in xdy, where x and y are from the 5d20s)
  2581. [12:03 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: The spear glows, as it's drenched in blood.
  2582. [12:03 AM] Eon: (but that doesn't make sense, as there are an odd number of dice..)
  2583. [12:03 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Nah, I am just rolling 20d1 to do a guaranteed 20)
  2584. [12:03 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Dramatic effect and all)
  2585. [12:03 AM] Faerie: (Koga pls)
  2586. [12:03 AM] Eon: (That I can think about later, I guess.)
  2587. [12:03 AM] Eon: Tactically..
  2588. [12:03 AM] Eon: If I polymorph John..
  2589. [12:04 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: ...
  2590. [12:04 AM] Eon: will he be shunted out of the spear
  2591. [12:04 AM] Eon: or the reverse, rather.
  2592. [12:04 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: If you polymorph John to something of large enough size to escape a "grapple"
  2593. [12:04 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Aka huge or greater
  2594. [12:04 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: I'll allow it.
  2595. [12:04 AM] Eon: ...
  2596. [12:04 AM] Eon: "John. Heads up."
  2597. [12:04 AM] Eon: Polymorph John, Tyrannosaurus Rex.
  2598. [12:04 AM] Bot Fodder: "Huh?"
  2599. [12:04 AM] Eon: Nul..
  2600. [12:05 AM] Faerie: (DOG JOHN)
  2601. [12:05 AM] Faerie: (Also, GUYS:)
  2602. [12:05 AM] Eon: Flies up, and wallops the crude vampire lord twice.
  2603. [12:05 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: https://roll20.net/compendium/dnd5e/Tyrannosaurus%20Rex#content
  2604. [12:05 AM] Faerie: (I think it's time to go all out)
  2605. [12:05 AM] Eon: roll 1d20+7
  2606. [12:05 AM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+7]: 12, Result: 19
  2607. [12:05 AM] Eon: roll 1d20+7 touch 2
  2608. [12:05 AM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+7]: 7, Result: 14
  2609. [12:05 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: With a primal roar within your chest, you change form, John.
  2610. [12:05 AM] Faerie: (I know we can do this, though. It's fine as long as we work around this mess)
  2611. [12:05 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: The druid's magic can be resisted, if you wish so.
  2612. [12:05 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: 1 hit!
  2613. [12:06 AM] Eon: roll 2d10+4
  2614. [12:06 AM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [2d10+4]: 10,7, Result: 21
  2615. [12:06 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "...!" He sneers. (Did you silence him?)
  2616. [12:06 AM] Eon: Nul will stand on top of him.
  2617. [12:06 AM] Eon: ...
  2618. [12:06 AM] Eon: Healing Word on Razmik at first level.
  2619. [12:06 AM] Eon: roll 1d4+5
  2620. [12:06 AM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d4+5]: 3, Result: 8
  2621. [12:06 AM] Eon: Pass.
  2622. [12:07 AM] Bot Fodder: John doesn't resist... at least, he thinks that's how it's supposed to work? The room shrinks around him, and his thoughts grow simpler, less refined. And angrier.
  2623. [12:07 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... Legendary action.
  2624. [12:07 AM] Eon: Well, Esker will walk away as far as she can from the hostiles.
  2625. [12:07 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: He WAS going to bite down, and pass on the blessing.
  2626. [12:07 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: But that went down the drain, as the man became a strange beast.
  2627. [12:07 AM] Eon: (Preferably in the direction of Razmik's aura)
  2628. [12:07 AM] Faerie: (E-Eon, I'm full)
  2629. [12:07 AM] Eon: (wait what)
  2630. [12:07 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Instead, he strikes at the T.Rex, once more, biting down.
  2631. [12:07 AM] Eon: (didn't you take like 30 or so)
  2632. [12:07 AM] Faerie: (I LoH'd back then after the last fight)
  2633. [12:07 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d20+9
  2634. [12:07 AM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+9]: 18, Result: 27
  2635. [12:08 AM] Eon: (the spawn smacked you, right?)
  2636. [12:08 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d6+4
  2637. [12:08 AM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d6+4]: 3, Result: 7
  2638. [12:08 AM] Bot Fodder: (Does John have access to any class features and such when polymorphed?)
  2639. [12:08 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 3d6
  2640. [12:08 AM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [3d6]: 5,2,5, Result: 12
  2641. [12:08 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (You have all of them!)
  2642. [12:08 AM] Eon: (apparently not)
  2643. [12:08 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (but no armor)
  2644. [12:08 AM] Eon: (wait, really?)
  2645. [12:08 AM] Bot Fodder: (Also, does he get a new HP total?)
  2646. [12:08 AM] Eon: (ACTION SURGE TREX)
  2647. [12:08 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (wait, I am thinking of
  2648. [12:08 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: wild shape)
  2649. [12:08 AM] Faerie: (Oh, right)
  2650. [12:08 AM] Eon: (NOPE, HE HAS ACTION SURGE TREX)
  2651. [12:08 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (wew no)
  2652. [12:08 AM] Eon: ( :smugpopo: )
  2653. [12:08 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (OK FINE)
  2654. [12:08 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (For this fight only, ok?)
  2655. [12:09 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: ( :happypopo: )
  2656. [12:09 AM] Eon: ( :happypopo: )
  2657. [12:09 AM] Faerie: (I'm at 73, 81 now thanks to you)
  2658. [12:09 AM] Bot Fodder: (A-ahaha.)
  2659. [12:09 AM] Mizuki: (GO FOR IT JOOOHN)
  2660. [12:09 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Your Maximum HP as a T.Rex (so doesn't matter) is reduced by 12.
  2661. [12:09 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: 19 damage to the 132 TRex form.
  2662. [12:09 AM] Mizuki: (how close is the vampire lord to his girls?)
  2663. [12:09 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: All next to each other and John.
  2664. [12:10 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... Whose next to Razmik.
  2665. [12:10 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: It's a melee clusterfuck in there.
  2666. [12:10 AM] Eon: Esker's eyes gleam as the new beast swells and towers over the other combatants. Why hasn't she done this before..?(edited)
  2667. [12:10 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Razmik, your turn.
  2668. [12:10 AM] Mizuki: (:droolingpopo:)
  2669. [12:10 AM] Faerie: It'll be fine, right....?
  2670. In fact... It's fine as long as the Guardians had each other. Simple as that. This is an outrage, hateful and indign for all it's worth. This Razmik Tarendar's blood boils red. (That's his name now, alright!)
  2671. He reaches back, entrusting himself to whatever forces have kept him alive for so long. In preparation, Razmik has been singing a hymn for himself and nobody else.
  2672.  
  2673. The heart can lead people into the strangest places. I admit to have commited acts of utter stupidity in the pursuit of what was good and right, and it was only by the grace of my friends and the Morninglord that I still live to leave better times in our wake.
  2674. [12:10 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: ...
  2675. [12:10 AM] Faerie: There's obviously nothing else of worth to be said here. I ask this of you: Do the winds need to think of freedom? Does water need to think about stillness? No?
  2676. Then, does Razmik need to witness anything else to know what's going on? Does he need to contemplate any further? As a modicum of trust has been put in him by our Morninglord, despite anything he might claim or believe or tell himself at night.
  2677. Does he need any more evidence to condemn the evil in front of him!? Even he himself realizes this at this point:(edited)
  2678. [12:10 AM] Mizuki: Alicia smiles at the situation glancing at Esker and the t-rex.
  2679. [12:11 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (So chuuni)
  2680. [12:11 AM] Faerie: This is what Razmik has been waiting for. Something within him snaps, at last.
  2681. [12:11 AM] Eon: (more like inspirational!)
  2682. [12:11 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... With that, Inspiration, Razmik.
  2683. [12:11 AM] Mizuki: (fucking rad)
  2684. [12:12 AM] Eon: (I really wanted to Haste Raz, but like.. That spear is probably bad news.)
  2685. [12:12 AM] Faerie: He'll take this all, anger, seething rage, all of this, turn it into strength for his brothers and sisters right next to him
  2686. And fucking CRUSH THE EVIL IN FRONT OF HIM WITH IT.
  2687. [12:12 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Noticing you as a threat, the vampire lord's spear shines, attempting to curse Razmik.
  2688. [12:12 AM] Faerie: (Target check: 2 groupies, and a mistformed vampire?)
  2689. [12:13 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (A normal vampire lord, rather.)
  2690. [12:13 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (and 2 groupies, yes)
  2691. [12:13 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: You are inspired, and that determination within you is going to have to matter.
  2692. [12:14 AM] Faerie: Then, then, Razmik's blade vomits light the likes of which he himself has never seen before: Not the moment to hesitate, not the moment to navel-gaze. Razmik steps forth, to smite evil.
  2693. [12:14 AM] Faerie: It better matter!
  2694. [12:14 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... Fate conspires against you... [Fate has changed your next attack's d20 dice to result of 1.]
  2695. [12:14 AM] Faerie: roll 1d20+9
  2696. [12:14 AM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+9]: 11, Result: 20
  2697. [12:15 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: 1+9, Fumble!
  2698. [12:15 AM] Faerie: Does Inspiration work here?
  2699. [12:15 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Yes.
  2700. [12:15 AM] Faerie: Fuck his shit, then
  2701. [12:15 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: But you roll a new dice.
  2702. [12:15 AM] Faerie: roll 1d20+9
  2703. [12:15 AM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+9]: 5, Result: 14
  2704. [12:15 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... 14's NOT a hit.
  2705. [12:15 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Stumbling, also struck by you, he frowns... The followup?
  2706. [12:15 AM] Faerie: That's fine, he's got another one coming next
  2707. [12:15 AM] Eon: Esker notes.. the pecularity of how things have been going.
  2708. [12:16 AM] Faerie: roll 1d20+9
  2709. [12:16 AM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+9]: 17, Result: 26
  2710. [12:16 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: He attempts to parry, to no avail.
  2711. [12:16 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: That's a hit!
  2712. [12:16 AM] Faerie: (FUCK I FORGOT TO DECLARE BLINDING)
  2713. [12:16 AM] Faerie: roll 1d8+5 slash
  2714. [12:16 AM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d8+5]: 8, Result: 13
  2715. [12:16 AM] Faerie: Smite, second level
  2716. [12:16 AM] Mizuki: (don't forget Salamander)
  2717. [12:16 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: It's an undead!
  2718. [12:16 AM] Faerie: roll 4d8
  2719. [12:16 AM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [4d8]: 6,6,2,4, Result: 18

  2723. [12:17 AM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d0+13+18+2]: 0, Result: 33
  2724. [12:17 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: While the flame from the Salamander's partially absorbed,
  2725. [12:17 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: the holy energy burns the vampire, sealing its regeneration!
  2726. [12:18 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... Not bad." He growls softly. "Good man. Why don't you help me? We have the same goal, the same inspiration..."
  2727. [12:18 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Anything else?
  2728. [12:18 AM] Faerie: Razmik takes a step forward, still, encroaching the darkness in front of him [Tunnel Fighter, Pass]
  2729. [12:19 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... Stand down, my servants. This is my fight. They are worth this." Harulsha Blackstar orders the vampire maids to stand down, and they curtsies, dropping their greatsword obdiently.
  2730. [12:19 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Top of the round, John.
  2731. [12:19 AM] Faerie: A Warden's call answered, the result of so many hours of frustrated training, the result of so many fumbled hits
  2732. It's Johnathan's form he mimics this time.(edited)
  2733. [12:20 AM] Faerie: ''.........'', someone glares daggers.
  2734. [12:20 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Harulsha smiles. "A paladin of Lathander? This is an emergency. Surely you understand... This world need saving."
  2735. [12:21 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Come, join me, and we shall shatter this nightmare together."
  2736. [12:21 AM] Bot Fodder: A mighty bellow resounds through the iron-clad halls. The creature that was John scrapes the ground with its heavy feet, lowing its maw to glare at the vampire. He's saying something. It doesn't matter.
  2737. [12:21 AM] Bot Fodder: (Koga, does my new Multiattack count as weapon attacks?)
  2738. [12:21 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh)

  2744. [12:22 AM] Eon: (I can drop conc.)
  2745. [12:22 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (But that's no nearly as epic as a T.Rex fighting a vampire)
  2746. [12:23 AM] Eon: (just say the word, and I'll just drop it immediately)
  2747. [12:23 AM] Bot Fodder: With a serpentine motion, John attempts to snap the vampire up in its jaws.
  2748. [12:23 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Alicia, you feel a bit sorrowful. If only Azura is here, there would be some insight, surely?
  2749. [12:23 AM] Bot Fodder: roll 1d20+10

  2753. [12:24 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Much to the vampire's surprise, you bite down on him, John. He's automatically Grappled, and Restrained.
  2754. [12:24 AM] Bot Fodder: (DC 17 check, I think?)
  2755. [12:24 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (You can end grapple anytime, as not-action)
  2756. [12:24 AM] Bot Fodder: (Oh, 'kay.)

  2764. [12:25 AM] Runic: (That's bullshit I tell you!)

  2766. [12:25 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: 14 damage.
  2767. [12:25 AM] Runic: (What is this auto grapple meme!)
  2768. [12:25 AM] Eon: (I told you trexs can grapple!)
  2769. [12:25 AM] Mizuki: "Don't believe him, John!" - Shouted Alicia - "He's tricked us before, bring those maids down!"
  2770. [12:25 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: You crush the vampire in your POWERFUL JAWS.
  2771. [12:26 AM] Eon: (you can bop the medios with tail, yeah)
  2772. [12:26 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: The vampire maids just look at you innocently, Alicia.
  2773. [12:26 AM] Eon: (also action surge trex go :excitedfish: )
  2774. [12:26 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: :sadpopo: :sadpopo:

  2776. [12:26 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (... you can do the usual unarmed strike of 1 damage, where you aren't doing your stuffs.)
  2777. [12:27 AM] Faerie: (STUBBY ARMS)
  2778. [12:27 AM] Mizuki: Alicia is not set back by the maids' stare.(edited)

  2780. [12:28 AM] Eon: (please keep in mind you also only have 2 INT atm)
  2781. [12:28 AM] Bot Fodder: John opens and shuts its jutting teeth while keeping a grip on the vampire, but its eyes move toward the maids warily. [Tunnel Fighter]
  2782. [12:28 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (>keep in mind >have low mind)
  2783. [12:29 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Anything else?
  2784. [12:29 AM] Bot Fodder: The beast holds the vampire low, rather than try to swallow... keeping it low enough for its comrades to reach. Pass.
  2785. [12:29 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Lexon.
  2786. [12:29 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Vampirism courses through your vein.

  2792. [12:30 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Hopefully the fight won't last for TOO long. But uh...
  2793. [12:31 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Let me know if we need to pause the fight.
  2794. [12:31 AM] Runic: Vampirism, slowly affecting Lexon's mood. Gradually entering into something similar to frenzy state. Manageable for now, where he can still distinguish betwen friend and foe, but for how much longer he wonders.
  2795. [12:31 AM] Runic: No matter, Lexon turns, running back towards Blackstar.
  2796. [12:31 AM] Runic: Lexon yells, "I don't use this much, but it's as good a time as any!" He clenches his left hand forming it into a fist, with deep breaths, power forms. Radiant energy flows within his body.
  2797. [12:31 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Blackstar, grappled and restrained...
  2798. [12:31 AM] Runic: With his White Raven dagger in his mainhand, with the help of John the t-rex, he attempts to strike Blackstar with multiple backstabs.
  2799. [12:31 AM] Runic: roll 2d20 +11 advantage

  2814. [12:32 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: The vampire lord lets out a muffled scream!
  2815. [12:32 AM] Bot Fodder: (Well, strictly speaking, nothing in Polymorph's text DISallows it, per se :smugpopo: )
  2816. [12:32 AM] Runic: His barrage of attacks doesn't end there. Lexon starts punching with all he's got!
  2817. [12:33 AM] Runic: Flurry of Blows!
  2818. [12:33 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Replace your stat with the statblcok disallow it)
  2819. [12:33 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Go for it.
  2820. [12:33 AM] Runic: "Ora ora or-" The vampirism starts kicking, "MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA," He screams, sending blows towards his back.

  2858. [12:36 AM] Runic: Alright, now I end my turn
  2859. [12:36 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Alicia, your turn.
  2860. [12:36 AM] Mizuki: Alicia spins her blade above her head, focusing and whispering incantations. - "Stay away from my friends you disgusting bastard! We’re bringing you down!" - As she finished, a sphere of lightning appeared above, and with a deep breath she sent it flying along a sonorous blast, right in the middle of all the vampires. She knows better than to believe the lies of a natural trickster, the lies of a being who killed his own brothers during a ritual. Azura’s abstence was a pity, but who would she be if she faltered at that moment? Her friends needed her help and she was there for them.(edited)

  2885. [12:40 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: The vampire maids... disengage, and moves themselves away from the melee, as instructed. Their weapons are on the floor.
  2886. [12:40 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: They don't seem to care much about their master.
  2887. [12:40 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d6 recharge

  2893. [12:42 AM] Bot Fodder: A growl resounds as the T-Rex's reptilian eyes stare at the retreating maids, tail thrashing behind it.

  2923. [12:45 AM] Bot Fodder: (I'm gonna need a minute to count all that. kek)
  2924. [12:45 AM] Eon: Esker notes how... peculiar the Guardians' trip through Orixia, from the icy wastes to the Underdark into even the Sea of Stars, the obstacles, the events in their wake each stranger than the other, as if competing in some macabre contest. It was all so surreal, like a dream.. Or a waking nightmare. Yes, this was a Nightmare indeed. The whole plane of Orixia at stake? Esker could honestly not care less. But these people beside her.. Well, they were important. They would see this through, together.
  2925.  
  2926. "Nul. Leave not a speck of this filth behind."
  2927.  
  2928. Standing command aside, She considers this.. ability of the vampire lord, his luck was uncanny. No.. It was a meddling in the cosmic truth of all things, casuality.. But was he beyond the stars themselves? She thinks not. She rips a gleaming orb from her robe, and hurls it at Blackstar with all her might, as a stream of seven points of light surge forth.

  2964. [12:49 AM] Faerie: (Ah, I guessed...)
  2965. [12:49 AM] Faerie: roll 1d20+9 on Vampire Lord
  2966. [12:49 AM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+9]: 17, Result: 26
  2967. [12:49 AM] Faerie: (Advantage, right?)
  2968. [12:50 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Sec.
  2969. [12:50 AM] Faerie: (Does it matter here?)
  2970. [12:50 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: The vampire lord seems to be getting desperate. His voice echoes out hauntingly in your mind. "I will survive... I will not let you...! This is Orixia, my home, my world, and you cannot stop me!"
  2971. [12:50 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Go ahead, advantage.
  2972. [12:50 AM] Eon: Esker returns to musing as the last of the last syllable of her Healing Word leaves her lips. The gods above.. She paid them only lip service before, but Mielikki supported them thus far.. Hmm. Maybe Razmik rubbed off her.
  2973. [12:51 AM] Eon: Still, a thought strikes her.
  2974. [12:51 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: A gentle wind blows past you, Esker, as if part of the current generated by Nul.
  2975. [12:51 AM] Eon: The vampire lord would just.. turn to mist.
  2976. [12:51 AM] Runic: "Hah! Can it, and give me your blood, you bastard" Lexon yells, chuckling at the sight. Vampirism... not good.
  2977. [12:51 AM] Faerie: Foolery of the highest caliber. HIS world? His home? Even the insects crawling underground were more deserving of the plane than it. Razmik presses Salamander against his restrained form again
  2978. [12:51 AM] Faerie: roll 1d20+9
  2979. [12:51 AM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+9]: 2, Result: 11
  2980. [12:52 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: 26 is a hit.
  2981. [12:52 AM] Eon: "Stake him! I don't when or how, but stake him!"
  2982. [12:52 AM] Faerie: roll 1d8+5 slash
  2983. [12:52 AM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d8+5]: 5, Result: 10
  2984. [12:52 AM] Faerie: roll 2d6 fire
  2985. [12:52 AM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [2d6]: 4,1, Result: 5
  2986. [12:53 AM] Faerie: Razmik doesn't have to hear it twice. He's already staking so much on this...
  2987. [12:53 AM] Faerie: roll 3d8 Smite, first level
  2988. [12:53 AM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [3d8]: 6,2,4, Result: 12
  2989. [12:53 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: The vampire ignites, burning with a holy fire.
  2990. [12:53 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: It doesn't hurt the dinosaur, however.
  2991. [12:54 AM] Faerie: His legs rebound, leaping as John lowers its hideous form once more, growling in unison.
  2992. [12:54 AM] Faerie: roll 1d20+9 extra attack
  2993. [12:54 AM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+9]: 12, Result: 21
  2994. [12:54 AM] Faerie: roll 1d20+9 advantage
  2995. [12:54 AM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+9]: 9, Result: 18
  2996. [12:54 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Fate aids you. [Fate has changed your next d20 dice to result of 20.]
  2997. [12:54 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: The spear shines brilliantly, as if the vampire know, deep down inside, that there's not much left. Almost as if letting go, he lifts his spear one last time. "... You, then... Save This world."
  2998. [12:54 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Crit.
  2999. [12:54 AM] Faerie: ...Shit.
  3000. [12:55 AM] Faerie: roll 2d8+5
  3001. [12:55 AM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [2d8+5]: 3,3, Result: 11
  3002. [12:56 AM] Faerie: Something else drives the radiance out of Salamander, pulling the sword into a veritable beam of light, right into the dark Lord's heart.
  3003. [12:56 AM] Faerie: roll 4d6 fire
  3004. [12:56 AM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [4d6]: 5,6,2,2, Result: 15
  3005. [12:56 AM] Eon: Esker is taken aback. Was there a glimmer of good inside the vampire lord?
  3006. [12:56 AM] Faerie: With that, Razmik lands, before shining his last.
  3007. [12:57 AM] Faerie: (Smite again because I am stupid)
  3008. [12:57 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Go for it)
  3009. [12:57 AM] Faerie: roll 6d8 Radiant
  3010. [12:57 AM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [6d8]: 1,4,2,8,7,8, Result: 30
  3011. [12:57 AM] Bot Fodder: (Dat Smiteeee)
  3012. [12:57 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: The divine strike effortlessly rend the vampire lord apart, the holy flame a pyre to the profane undead. With a resigned sigh in your mind, his spear stabs into the metallic floor, as he fades, turning into mist. The mist that forms is quickly contained, consumed, and returned to nothingness with Nul's vaccum. "... You know what's going on. You know what I aim to do. Our goals align, though our methods might be different. Then... Do it. Save this world, then. Show me. Don't let the Outer Gods devour this world. And don't lose to the Nightmare."
  3013.  
  3014. As the vampire lord is destroyed, the two vampire maids crumble, their animation ceased.
  3015.  
  3016. Combat's over.
  3017. [12:57 AM] Faerie: The curtain call soon follows. (Tunnel Fighter, move closer to one of the cheerleaders, Pass)
  3018. [12:58 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Fuck T.Rex)
  3019. [12:58 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (wew)
  3020. [12:58 AM] Eon: (that's wild, koga :troubledkoga: )
  3021. [12:58 AM] Eon: Esker..
  3022. [12:58 AM] Bot Fodder: (I'm wondering why he didn't just poof like he did with Lexon, though.)
  3023. [12:58 AM] Eon: blinks.
  3024. [12:58 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: 3500 XP, first thing first. We'll do loot later.
  3025. [12:58 AM] Eon: Then realises theres an ele- T-rex in the room.
  3026. [12:58 AM] Eon: She dispels her concentration.
  3027. [12:58 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Because while he have really good dex and can escape
  3028. the god damn 2 sentinels will stop him anyways)
  3029. [12:58 AM] Eon: And immediately runs up to Lexon.
  3030. [12:59 AM] Eon: "Good mercy, are you.. ok?"
  3031. [12:59 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (YOUR BITE WILL RE-GRAPPLE)
  3032. [12:59 AM] Runic: Probably legendary action succeed any save 3 per day like all vampires have
  3033. [12:59 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (That's the problem lul)(edited)
  3034. [12:59 AM] Eon: ... It was the 'wine', wasn't it? It could have been her..
  3035. [12:59 AM] Runic: Since auto grapples has no save, that don't work(edited)
  3036. [12:59 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Yeah)
  3037. [12:59 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Fugg)
  3038. [1:00 AM] Eon: (Koga actually got memed into letting us have a T-Rex with Fighter levels)
  3039. [1:00 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... As the vampire dies, Lexon's symptoms lessens.
  3040. [1:00 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: The vampire blood... seems to recede.
  3041. [1:00 AM] Mizuki: Alicia runs up to Lexon. - "Can you two do anything about this?" - She asked turning to Raz and Esker. - "Maybe the unicorn horn with Recelle?"
  3042. [1:00 AM] Runic: Lexon slumps over passing out for a a couple of seconds, waking up confused(edited)
  3043. [1:00 AM] Eon: "It's my fault." Esker mutters.
  3044. [1:01 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... Something throbs one last time in you, Lexon, before fading...
  3045. [1:01 AM] Bot Fodder: The now-scarred beast emits a low rumble from its throat before it shrinks back into its former shape. John wreches. "Kuhgh..."
  3046. [1:01 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: You not longer have an urge to drink blood.
  3047. [1:01 AM] Runic: Last thing he remember was punching Blackstar twice before blacking out.
  3048. [1:01 AM] Eon: "... Serves me right for deciding to talk to a vampire."
  3049. [1:01 AM] Faerie: Razmik isn't in a proper stance as much as a kneeling, exhausted position. A bitter taste left in his mouth, he stands up to look at what remained before them. He shoves the Vampire Lord's last words out of his mind, checking on Lexon.
  3050. [1:01 AM] Mizuki: Alicia pats Esker's shoulder. - "We needed the information, it was the right thing to do."
  3051. [1:02 AM] Eon: ... For good measure.
  3052. [1:02 AM] Eon: Esker kneels, and reaches for the satchel of diamond dust. The one that had been there this entire while, since she joined the party..
  3053. [1:02 AM] Faerie: Finally, for the first time before setting foot in that room, Razmik speaks. ''...What the hell was going on?'', taking deep breaths
  3054. [1:02 AM] Runic: "So did I pass out on the floor mid-punch or something?" He has no recollection after the 'muda' part
  3055. [1:02 AM] Bot Fodder: John surveys the three piles of ash in the room quietly. He sighs...
  3056. [1:02 AM] Eon: Sprinkles it over the fainted Lexon, and casts Greater Restoration.
  3057. [1:02 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: ....
  3058. [1:02 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: You removed the last trace of vampirism!
  3059. [1:03 AM] Mizuki: "Raz, do you have insomnia or something?" - She asked - "You woke up quite a few times just now."
  3060. [1:03 AM] Eon: "Hopefully. Hopefully that is enough." Esker sighs, a little defeated at not what is, but what could have been.
  3061. [1:03 AM] Runic: "That's? Dust? Well alright then." Lexon questions not aware of the actual materiel... Or the cost
  3062. [1:03 AM] Runic: "Thanks anyway"
  3063. [1:03 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... The Spear of Saintly Blood... Remains in the floor. It's a vampire name, however. It's original name is that of the Longinus, a holy lance., also known as the Spear of Destiny.
  3064. [1:04 AM] Eon: Esker gives a long hard look at it. A spear that manipulates fate? Where did Blackstar get something like this..
  3065. [1:04 AM] Faerie: It's in that moment that Razmik, overcome, lets go of his weapon. Partaking in such a banquet made him experience no joy whatsoever. He saps out of it, a bell ringing into his ears
  3066. [1:05 AM] Bot Fodder: John rolls his shoulders and readjusts his armor, which had been pierced cleanly. "... I hope they're at peace, wherever they are now. And -- does anyone have a toothbrush?"
  3067. [1:05 AM] Eon: "A spear to pierce the heavens?" Esker muses. Was this their salvation against the Cradle of the End?
  3068. [1:05 AM] Faerie: 'Wha...''
  3069. Breathing in, breathing out, Razmik turns back to his friends. ''Is everyone alright?''
  3070. [1:05 AM] Runic: "Yeah, I feel alright now." Lexon reponds cheerfully
  3071. [1:06 AM] Bot Fodder: John gives him a thumbs up.
  3072. [1:06 AM] Mizuki: "Better impossibe." - Smiled Alicia - "That vampire... He might have had a good goal in mind."
  3073. [1:06 AM] Faerie: (Give me your HP just in case)
  3074. [1:06 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: The room is silent, otherwise.
  3075. [1:06 AM] Eon: ..
  3076. [1:06 AM] Eon: Esker produces her pouch of 103 goodberries.
  3077. [1:06 AM] Runic: (61/72)
  3078. [1:06 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... There's a wind that blows, the vampire dusts on the floor seems to form an arrow.
  3079. [1:06 AM] Mizuki: "But his methods... Killing his own brothers." - She added. - "That's something I can't forgive."
  3080. [1:06 AM] Eon: "Eat up. It's the least I could do."
  3081. [1:06 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: It points to the backroom, as if silently beckoning, once you are done here.
  3082. [1:07 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: It will be a small library, filled to the brim with Harulsha Blackstar's research.
  3083. [1:07 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Elerith reanimates as well, actually, breaking out of stasis. She remains silent, deciding to not speak.
  3084. [1:07 AM] Bot Fodder: John squats beside the spear, examining it closely. He squints, or perhaps scowls, at the twin tips, stuck straight into the stonework as though it were soil.
  3085. [1:07 AM] Eon: Esker glances at the arrow. Was it truly Fate? She muses. Now even vampire dust was conspiring to help them. How contrived.
  3086. [1:07 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Stonework?
  3087. [1:08 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Nah, the ground were metal.
  3088. [1:08 AM] Faerie: ''I can't rightfully believe that'', Razmik pants as he once more's forced to take a knee. It stung at his chest. Salamander lies on the ground as he catches his breath
  3089. [1:08 AM] Bot Fodder: (Metal, even better.)
  3090. [1:08 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Anyhow, the detail of the aftermath will have to wait for another session.
  3091. [1:08 AM] Bot Fodder: John's hand hovers over the handle for a moment, but he doesn't intend to pick it up. Not him. He's testing it...(edited)
  3092. [1:08 AM] Eon: "You weren't here for it, but.. I feel like he wasn't completely evil. Perhaps long gone to the throes of eccentricity, but.."
  3093. [1:08 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Finish up your business, heroes.
  3094. [1:09 AM] Eon: "I.. apologise, for this mess."
  3095. [1:09 AM] Mizuki: Alicia smiles towards John and croaches next to him. - "A t-rex with a sacred spear huh. That's something I never expected to see."
  3096. [1:09 AM] Mizuki: Rising back, she turns to Esker. - "There's nothing to apologize for."(edited)
  3097. [1:09 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: It seems to be... Hard to pick up for you.
  3098. [1:10 AM] Bot Fodder: "... Doesn't seem all that sacred to me," John mutters somewhat glumly. He pulls back his hand, dusts his greaves off, and pushes his knees to stand.
  3099. [1:10 AM] Eon: (goodberry top up guys, I'll just deduct all of it)
  3100. [1:11 AM] Bot Fodder: (How many do you have?)
  3101. [1:11 AM] Eon: (Enough)
  3102. [1:11 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (103)
  3103. [1:11 AM] Bot Fodder: (Kek)
  3104. [1:11 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (You also don't take any damage spilling over from the TRex form, so you are likely mostly fine)
  3105. [1:11 AM] Faerie: ''I...'' Razmik proclaims after beating on his own chest, wincing after the impact. ''There was no way around it. I believe it was inevitable.''
  3106. Anything to keep those other safe, Razmik thought. Anything. A wave of lethargy washes over him, as he struggles to take a full breath in
  3107. [1:11 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Minus the initial spear stab)
  3108. [1:11 AM] Bot Fodder: (John's missing 25 HP, yeah.)
  3109. [1:12 AM] Mizuki: Anyway, Alicia is ready to move on to the library.
  3110. [1:12 AM] Eon: (all things considered, we didn't get dumpstered on health)
  3111. [1:12 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Elerith looks at the spear...
  3112. [1:12 AM] Eon: Esker is ready. But someone should.. carry the spear.
  3113. [1:12 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: She seems to want to try it, and goes over, trying pulling it. It flat out rejects her.
  3114. [1:12 AM] Eon: (88 berries left)
  3115. [1:12 AM] Eon: "... You're sentient, aren't you?"
  3116. [1:12 AM] Faerie: Razmik doesn't quite understand his own position. He was fine, but why did his chest pain him so?
  3117. [1:12 AM] Eon: Esker squats before the spear.
  3118. [1:12 AM] Runic: Lexon will take his turn to try to pry out the spear
  3119. [1:12 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Wincing, she shakes her hand, having been lightly shocked.
  3120. [1:12 AM] Bot Fodder: "... I wouldn't do that, if I were you." John glances at the spear with some disdain.
  3121. [1:12 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Lexon pulls up the spear.
  3122. [1:12 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Effortlessly.
  3123. [1:13 AM] Eon: Esker tilts her head.
  3124. [1:13 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... The spear itself seems surprised.
  3125. [1:13 AM] Eon: Whatever property did it go after in choosing a wielder? She wonders..
  3126. [1:13 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... It will also take Alicia.
  3127. [1:14 AM] Runic: "Well, guess I'm carrying it then." Lexon says happily, "must be the wine I drank I guess."
  3128. [1:14 AM] Bot Fodder: (Someone that will either be fate's pawn, or reject it altogether, I figure. :smugpopo: )(edited)
  3129. [1:14 AM] Bot Fodder: (Lexon would be the latter.)
  3130. [1:14 AM] Mizuki: "Maybe." - Smiled Alicia. - "To the library then?"
  3131. [1:14 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Being able to lift it up doesn't mean you can wield it properly, of course.
  3132. [1:14 AM] Runic: (Defiantly the latter)
  3133. [1:15 AM] Eon: (Lexon might be too oblivious to Fate all together)
  3134. [1:15 AM] Eon: "Lets."
  3135. [1:15 AM] Eon: ... Whatever they could gleam, they would put to good use.(edited)
  3136. [1:15 AM] Eon: "..." Esker glances at Elerith. What to do about that one?
  3137. [1:15 AM] Faerie: Hand put to his jaw, Razmik's posture drops a notch. Mouth dry, he reaches for his waterskin as the rest talk, listening.
  3138. [1:15 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Elerith blinks at Esker.
  3139. [1:16 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: You advance to the library, carrying the spear with you...
  3140. [1:16 AM] Bot Fodder: John nods. "Ah, right. Gotta get what we came for!" As if to dispel the strange gloom that had settled after the battle, John marches up front.
  3141. [1:16 AM] Mizuki: (spear is str, right?)
  3142. [1:17 AM] Runic: (pretty sure yeah)
  3143. [1:17 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: (normally)
  3144. [1:17 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Anyways, we'll leave library to the next session for info dump!
  3145. [1:17 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: Thanks for playing, everyone. Remember yout 3500 XP!
  3146. [1:17 AM] Bot Fodder: (Have Recelle shoot it as a projectile from the Sword :smugpopo: )
  3147. [1:17 AM] Eon: Whew.
  3148. [1:17 AM] Mizuki: Got it!
  3149. [1:17 AM] Eon: That was intense
  3150. [1:17 AM] Mizuki: Man, that was a great session
  3151. [1:17 AM] Runic: Nice, pretty fun tonight
  3152. [1:18 AM] Mizuki: thanks for the game
  3153. [1:18 AM] KogasaGaSagasa: :happypopo:
  3154. [1:18 AM] Mizuki: might be my favorite session so far
